President, VP, Board of Directors members selected STEPHANIE GOMEZ Daily Titan Results for Associated Students, Inc. board of directors elections were revealed at The Pub in the Titan Student Union underground only half an hour after polls closed Thursday night.

The competition for president and vice president featured only one candidate for each position whereas Associated Students Board of Directors positions often had multiple candidates.

A total of 2803 students voted, 188 fewer than last year.

The top two candidates in each school will serve on the board from June 1 to May 31 before passing on

the torch to the spring 2016 election winners.

The most competitive college, with six candidates, was the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

Ashley Pham and Tamarrah Nguyen were elected to represent the college with 35 percent and 23 percent of the vote, respectively.

Candidates for the College of Communications, Joanna Solis and Amanda Hughes, pulled in a combined 69 percent of the votes cast within the college to be elected as representatives.

Out of the three students vying for a position from the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the winners were Stephen Chan with 36 percent, and Jordan Pourazari with 39 percent. Chan and Pourazari received 164 combined votes.

Associated Students, Inc. President-elect Michael Badal, and his running mate Katy Johnson listen as Victoria Gomez, Associated Students elections commissioner, announces winners Thursday.

An assistant with Cal State Fullerton’s Facilities and Events Management department for the Athletics department suffered injuries when he was assaulted early Saturday morning.

Derrick Young was accosted by a group of men in downtown Fullerton at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, he said.

Young was knocked unconscious during the alleged assault, he said, and sustained injuries to his jaw and eye. He was taken to St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton following the incident.

He was not formally admitted to the hospital and has returned home.

Police reports indicate that the group that attacked Young was made up of four to five Hispanic men, said Fullerton Police Sgt. Kathryn Hamel in an email.

Fullerton Police maintain that the incident, which involved Young and his two friends, does not appear to be a hate crime, she said.

“The victims were specifically asked if anything was said prior to the assault that would indicate this was a hate crime, or reveal what the motive might’ve been,” she said in the email. “The victims did not tell the officers anything to indicate it was a hate crime.”

Young, who is black, however, disputes that claim. He said the group—which he said consisted of 10 white men— were shouting racial slurs at him and his friends before the incident, and he said that he told police it was a racially motivated crime.

He will be contacting Fullerton Police in an attempt to see that the incident is investigated as a hate crime, he said.

The case will be forwarded to Fullerton Police Department detectives for further investigation, said Sgt. Jeff Stuart of Fullerton Police.

Guest juror picks illustration winners Top illustrations on display in the Center Gallery NAYARA ASSIS Daily Titan The third annual Cal State Fullerton Illustration Competition was graced with a special guest juror this year—illustrator for the popular book series, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Brett Helquist.

Helquist was faced with the hard task of narrowing down 300 entries to the 58 that are now on display.

Visitors will also see a display of Helquist’s work with books and drawings from the juror.

The winner of the gold

award was Floating Fishes

by Nadia Kim. “There are two things that I look for in a good picture, composition and storytelling. Floating Fishes by Nadia Kim makes me want to know more—that’s good storytelling. It grabs my attention and I’m curious to understand what is happening and what will happen next. I also love the color and the light,” Helquist said in the juror comment.

The silver award was received by Tara Johnson for her picture, Conflict of the Market.

In his juror comment, Helquist said Johnson made a great job of drawing the viewer into the story, but he chose this piece mainly for its effective composition.

College namesake visits CSUF

Steven G. Mihaylo will launch beta testing for new app at CSUF MARICELA GOMEZ Daily Titan

Steven G. Mihaylo, alumnus and namesake for the Steven G. Mihaylo College of Business and Economics arrived Friday at Cal State Fullerton as part of the monthly Leadership Scholars event at Mihaylo Hall, where he gave students advice, feedback and anecdotes for how to be successful.

More than 100 students and inter-club council members from the Steven G. Mihaylo College of Business and Economics, named after the 1969 alumnus, attended “Steve Mihaylo: Past, Present and Future.” The event was coordinated by the Center for Leadership’s leadership scholars, said Jay Barbuto Jr., Ph.D., director of the Center for Leadership.

“We’ve been hoping for the last couple of years to be able to schedule something that would allow him to come and talk to our students,” Barbuto said.

Mihaylo is launching a multimedia app that will have voice, video, instant messaging and will facilitate communication with families and friends internationally for free, which will cost college students $1 to $2 monthly, he said.

Mihaylo will return to campus within three to four months to engage in a beta testing trial, in which the first 100 students download the app and try it for free in hopes of a viral effect, he said. He looks forward to hearing feedback from the students to make the app more marketable, he said.

Mihaylo’s sales experience started at nine years old when he worked as a paperboy and sold newspaper subscriptions to support his younger siblings, he said. He broke the subscription sale record of

the time, 15 sales, by nearly 40 subscriptions, signing 54 subscribers.

His experience continued when Mihaylo enlisted in the U.S. Army, worked for Western Electric, then graduated from Cal State Fullerton in two years, taking 24 finance and accounting units each semester, he said. Those three experiences helped him ascend into the world of business, he said.

Mihaylo started Inter-Tel, a telephone system and software management company, that grew to a 2,500 employee company. When the company was sold for $750 million, Mihaylo donated 19 percent of that to what was then the College of Business and Economics, which was then renamed after him, he said.

Mihaylo advised students to be passionate, perserverant and more hardworking than their competitors—principles that lead to success, he said.

“You don’t have to be a rocket scientist, or a genetic

engineer or the person that finds the cure for cancer to be successful, you just have to find something that your fellow man needs … and do it better than your competitors,” he said.

The Q&A consisted of business students asking Mihaylo for advice on handling business fear and establishing business relationships.

“To have events like this is

really to truly benefit our students helping them develop networking skills,” Sharon Zhao, Leadership Scholar’s vice president said.

A socializing event continued as business students snapped photos with Mihaylo on a bench in the Mihaylo College courtyard.

“It always feels good to be back on campus,” Mihaylo said.

OC tutor faces 16 years A former Orange County tutor is facing 16 years in jail for one felony count of second degree commercial burglary, and more than 16 computer access and fraud counts, according to the Orange County Register.

Timothy Lance Lai, a 29-year-old private tutor and Irvine resident, was at the center of a grade changing scheme at Corona Del Mar high school.

Lai is being accused with breaking into campus buildings and using a USB device that would record teacher’s keystrokes. Authorities believe this is how Lai was able to access the schools network and change student’s grades.

Lai has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled for a pretrial hearing April 24.

MEGAN MENDIBLES / DAILY TITAN

Mary Wheeler presented Thursday as part of her bid for associate vice president for business and administrative services. The selection for the position will be announced in April.

AVP selection to be announced in April Mary Wheeler, final of four candidates, presented Thursday MEGAN MENDIBLES Daily Titan The final presentation in the search for a new associate vice president for business and administrative services was held Thursday.

Mary Wheeler, current assistant vice president for Finance at Stevens Institute of Technology, focused her presentation on her work in higher education since 1986.

Wheeler noted that throughout her higher education career, she has continued to develop new policies and procedures.

“People value when they are making a strong contribution when they can see the value in the process they are part of,” Wheeler said.

Wheeler noted that if she were to get the position, she would start off by opening up communication to find points of concern, gather existing documents and meet with people to understand steps of a process.

Wheeler pointed out that at Stevens Institute of Technology, she would often borrow from other school’s policies and tweak them to fit her own university.

Through this method of borrowing, Wheeler would use this same technique in

leveraging resources from other Cal State schools to shape policies for Cal State Fullerton, she said.

Wheeler suggested integrating management students to help with processes for credit or an academic project, which she had once implemented at Stevens Institute of Technology.

The open forum question portion resounded with the concern from faculty and staff about how Wheeler would handle future cross department collaborations.

Wheeler assured that her management style would be to empower and educate her staff on their part in a process to help with tricky cross department collaborations.

Wheeler found CSUF to be an appealing position because CSUF is still in its formative years when compared to the century-old east coast universities where she has previously worked.

She also noted that her own degree is from a public state university in New York. In that same respect, she views CSUF as the same affordable, quality education as she received.

Wheeler sees the impact her own degree from a state university has made and wants to help others receive the same valuable education, she said.

“It made all the difference in my life, and so Fullerton is that university for so

many students,” she said.

Wheeler started her career in higher education in 1986 with Skidmore College as assistant director of Financial Services. In the early 1990s, Wheeler was controller at St. Lawrence University.

She then moved onto Cornell University from 1994 to 2006 where she held positions such as manager of accounting, assistant controller, associate controller and Kuali Project Specialist.

In 2006, Wheeler moved onto Arizona State University Foundation where she was the assistant vice president for Business Services Support.

From 2010 to now, Wheeler has held the assistant vice president for Finance position at Stevens Institute of Technology.

The committee chaired by vice president for Information Technology, Amir Dabirian, will meet Tuesday to review all candidates, said Paulette Blumberg, chief of operations for the Administration and Finance division.

After the committee meets, it will send its recommendations to the Vice President for Administration and Finance, Danny Kim, Blumberg said.

Vice President for Administration and Finance, Danny Kim, will announce his selection for the assistant vice president for business and administrative services at the end of April, Blumberg said.

A woman was taken to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana after being trapped inside her overturned vehicle Friday, according to the Orange County Register.

At about 7:50 a.m., Fullerton police and fire officials responded to a two vehicle crash at the intersection of North State College Boulevard and Rolling Hills Drive.

Officials said it was not immediately clear which directions the cars were traveling in and how the crash occurred.

The woman was extracted from her car with minor cuts and bruises. Two men of unknown ages in the other vehicle were taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange. Police blocked the surrounding streets, but reopened them around 10:30 a.m.

Fire causes multiple crashes San Bernardino police are looking for a suspect who threw a molotov cocktail and caused a crash between two vehicles, the San Bernardino Sun reported.

The molotov cocktail was thrown into a Mercedes sedan, causing it to crash with another Mercedes SUV, which then crashed into a vacant duplex.

The sedan came to a stop in the middle of an intersection with serious damage to the front end of the car.

The driver of the SUV was taken to the hospital for an evaluation, and the driver of the sedan received treatment for a burn on his arm.

Police have launched an investigation to determine who threw the fiery weapon.

Student artwork like Jessica Trujillo’s piece, right, will be displayed in President Mildred García’s office until May.

High atop College Park, the previously blank walls of President Mildred García’s tenth-floor office now boast colorful works of art painted by students.

Art students, friends and faculty gathered in García’s office Wednesday to celebrate the student art now on display throughout the office until the end of the semester.

In May, students will be able to pick up their work, leaving space for new student art to be displayed next semester.

“It’s important that we exhibit student work and we had a lot of white walls, and I love color,” García said. “I wanted to make sure that we had our students, have their artworks, so anybody comes into the office, maybe someone locally, or nationally, or internationally, I can say this is student artwork.”

out their work was being hung in the office through word-ofmouth from their professors and others had their works taken out of storage in the painting classrooms by Marty Lorigan, a visual arts staff member responsible for installing the campus’ gallery exhibitions.

“We just honestly went to Jade Jewett, the chair of the (visual arts) department, and said ‘we want student work in our offices,’ and just trusted that there would be great work,” said Ann Camp, the president’s chief of staff.

“We have such talented students.”

Senior drawing and painting major Jessica Trujillo had no idea her work was on display in the president’s office until a friend told her. Trujillo initially felt surprised that her painting was chosen to be on display since she felt it was graphic in nature because of its references to torn human skin, she said.

“It’s amazing, because I’ve never had any of my artwork displayed,” Trujillo said.

Art critic to share insight with students Los Angeles Times art critic David Pagel to give guest lecture KATELYNN DAVENPORT Daily Titan David Pagel, a wellknown art critic and professor of art theory and history at Claremont Graduate University, will be speaking at Cal State Fullerton on Tuesday night.

Students and faculty are invited to listen to an in-depth account of Pagel’s experiences in the art world, as well as ask any questions they might have for him in a Q&A after he speaks.

Pagel, who regularly contributes to the Los Angeles Times, has written nearly 500 articles since 1997 and received the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship in Contemporary Arts Criticism in 1990, according to the flyer for the event.

He has also been published in Artforum, Art in America, Flash Art, frieze,

and Art Issues, according to his faculty profile on the Claremont University website.

This event is being hosted by the CSUF Fine Art Society as the first part of their spring 2015 guest lecture series.

The intent of the series is to expose students to some of the top artists and art professionals currently working in the art industry.

The Fine Art Society is a club on campus recognized and supported by the campus’ Arts Inter-Club Council, with the goal of helping art students become more successful in their field of study.

Soon-to-graduate art students can expect to learn a great deal about working in the art industry, as well as gain useful post-graduation advice from the selected speakers.

“The club will present three to four lectures each semester,” said Kyung Sun Cho, drawing and painting professor and program coordinator. “Students will learn and be exposed to

Comics add a level of complexity when it comes to composition,” Helquist said.

Hala Swearingen, assistant illustration professor,

Her goals for this project were to give illustration students the opportunity to become acquainted, make connections and be energized by each other’s work.

Also, to help the CSUF community to see the art that students are making, Swearingen said in her “Curator’s Message” posted in the gallery.

Vast fields paint Carlsbad For three months 55-acres of flower fields will flourish RACHEL MCKINNEY For the Daily Titan Living in a fast-paced society can make one forget to stop, take a breath and forget to recharge the batteries we often fry. Why not go to a place full of color?

A place where sea breezes greet you as you enter?

The Carlsbad Flower Fields provides this atmosphere.

The 55-acre field can be visited from March through May. It’s located just off the I-5 freeway, while traveling from Orange County to San Diego.

The Carlsbad Flower Fields is owned by Mellano & Company, a member of the Center for Family Business at the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics.

The Carlsbad field is the only site, out of the Mellano & Company fields, to grow ranunculus, said general manager, Fred Clarke.

The ranunculus flower is often confused with the poppy flower, due to their similarity in appearance.

However, it is not the name

of a flower that drives its sales, it is the color. The ranunculus comes in about 13 different colors. Ranging from pink to orange.

The most popular colors are pink, yellow, white and orange.

“We’ll have ranunculus here in perpetuity,” Clarke said.

It takes a number of people to run and upkeep the fields. Clarke has been general manager of the fields for 10 years. He employs 15 full-time workers, 45 extra workers for times of harvest and 30 staff to support the three months of tourism. Clarke estimated they will harvest about seven million stems this year.

The flower fields is a place of “agritourism.”

“It’s agriculture and tourism fused into one entity,” Clarke said.

The Carlsbad field also features Santa’s Village, which is a playground for kids, the Sweet Pea Maze, a greenhouse and a rose garden to name a few. They also team up with the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum to provide wagon rides around the fields.

The Carlsbad Flower Fields offer interactive programs for the local San Diego County schools. They receive about 7,000 school

kids from 1st through 5th grades. In the programs, kids are taught about the flower fields, nature, composting and are taken through the Sweet Pea Maze. “(It’s) really a lot of fun to have those kids here,” Clarke said.

In order to manage the excessive number of kids, Clarke relies on a large volunteer group that consists mainly of retired school teachers.

Renetta Asaro, has been volunteering for eight years. Along with volunteering at the fields, Asaro also volunteers at the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum. One of Asaro’s favorite aspects about volunteering at the fields is the tourists.

“It’s nice to meet people from all over the world,” Asaro said.

A day at the flower fields is $12 for adults, $6 for children 3-10, but children two and under are free.

The Carlsbad Flower Fields plays host to many people. Clarke said that people leave the fields different from when they came. “(The fields have) a transforming effect on you,” Clarke said.

Whether it’s emailing, texting, posting or tweeting, the way society engages in such activities has now become commonplace.

Linguistic expert, John McWhorter predicts that soon, texting will be taught as if it were another language.

Future electronic formalities Electronic etiquette and protecting ones personal brand HEAVEN OCAMPO Daily Titan Never post anything you wouldn’t tell your grandma.

Nineteen-year-old Olivia Reisner, a criminal justice major, thinks this idea is outdated.

“I am always on (social media) for some reason,” Reisner said. “I think that used to be (true) until my own grandma got Facebook. Now the only reason I wouldn’t post stuff is that she comments on it. Most of the time now, I post stuff and she sees it … not bad stuff, just stuff she doesn’t agree with.”

Reisner’s father, a hiring manager, checks that all the information sent to him on resumes is true and that there is not anything suspicious on applicants social media platforms.

Blurring the lines between informal and formal, such as slipping slang into emails to professors or potential employers. Social media has become part of daily routines, sometimes making it difficult to be conscious of what is being posted and who is able to see it.

That Amazon review, those pictures tagged on

Facebook, the last placed checked in on Yelp. These are all accessible to the public eye.

Krystyl Nottage, an events, marketing and social media expert at the career center, wants students to understand that their digital fingerprints have lasting effects on how they are presented to potential employers.

“I think with social media, it changes everyday. It is sometimes hard to stay on top of what is new and what is not, as far as privacy settings,” Nottage said.

“Facebook is a really good example of changing things without really letting people know. Something that you thought was private before, may not be anymore.

Facebook is a great tool when used correctly, like to get your foot in the door of a company or to network, Nottage said. However, she said something we all might not remember is that when information is out there anyone can access it.

Nottage said before starting the application process for jobs, it is great to do a little spring cleaning of personal social media.

Take the time to google yourself in order to check what is visible to people outside the typical social circle. Check privacy settings to make sure they are up to date with what was read previously. Try adding

keywords to the search engine, such as a hometown or a school, in order to see any hidden photos or videos.

“If you applied to a company like PETA and then you have a photo of you at a hot dog eating contest, it doesn’t go with your personal brand,” Nottage said.

Emailing professors and employers can also be an area of struggle for students. By simply checking spelling, grammar and avoiding text lingo, students can present themselves in a more professional way. Although teachers and employers can become mentors, it is important to remain respectful and address them as such. Also, one should create a professional email address with a name and avoid things such as “ilovejustinbeiber.”

“The difference is completely (noticeable) when I am texting or emailing,” Reisner said.

“Usually when I am emailing my professors, I will look at mistakes. I feel like I am typing an essay when I email a professor or employer. I always say thank you and sincerely, and you don’t say that when you are texting.”

The language we are using to text is merging into daily uses of speech and communication, said linguist John McWhorter on a TED talk. McWhorter

has not found any evidence that texting a lot will affect the way children grow up. However, the social effect that should be concerning is the distance that texting and social media has made —making it easier to bully.

“It could be that we are living in a time where it is considered cute to use things that you get from texting and Twitter in speech as a gentle way to show how hip you are and to be part of the conversation,” McWhorter said. “Or maybe we are seeing the beginning of a constant interaction between texting conventions and speech that will never end. So we have this brand new layer of language that will keep feeding in.”

McWhorter argues that texting is almost a form of being bilingual and accompanies normal forms of communication. He believes in the future, foreigners will be taking lessons on texting and that there may be classes on texting basics.

“LOL is a marker of empathy and accommodation,” McWhorter said.

When in doubt, seek out assistance from experts at the CSUF Career Center. The center offers workshops, such as building a responsible social media and LinkedIn tips. For a schedule on these helpful workshops, please visit http:// www.fullerton.edu/career/.

Removing Yik Yak is a smart start Banning Yik Yak from campuses can protect students DEVIN ULMER Daily Titan Colleges are debating banning the relatively new social media site Yik Yak, which allows users to post comments anonymously.

At first glance, Yik Yak looks like just another social media outlet, but conversations within the app are getting out of control and leading to cyber bullying.

A breeding ground for gossip, bigotry and name-calling, the app has caused much tension among college and high school campuses throughout the nation.

Last September, hundreds of Colgate University students staged a sit-in to protest the bigotry minority students have been experiencing on campus.

The movement was started by the Colgate Association of Critical Collegians, a student organization, in an effort to address the racial and anti-gay slurs posted on Yik Yak and other social media forums.

Taking away people’s freedom of speech isn’t something that should be taken lightly, but it’s something that should be limited when people’s safety is being threatened.

In the last several years, as social media has been rising, so have the accounts of bullying online.

witnessing frequent online bullying, according to DoSomething.org.

Victims of cyber bullying might not be affected by the bullying at first, but enough exposure to it has the potential to lead to suicide, which happens to be the third leading cause of death for people between the ages of 15-24 and second leading cause of death for people between the ages of 25-34, according to

the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Many college students find themselves in both of those age ranges.

If colleges could prevent suicides and depression due to bullying, they should.

There are plenty of social media sites that already struggle with bullying.

There doesn’t need to be another that also restricts the transparency of the author.

It’s reassuring that colleges have acknowledged an obligation to their students and are considering banning the app.

Colleges need to refresh students on online etiquette and the dangers of cyber bullying.

Reiterating and enforcing strict anti-cyber bullying policies will allow less opportunity for posting hurtful, negative comments online. It’s hard

to block students from using an app, but banning the app from school Wi-Fi servers is a start. Yik Yak should be the ones looking to change their program.

Removing the anonymous component to the site will hold posters more accountable. In reality, cyber bullying is going to happen regardless of the social media site.

Until people can learn

to respect each other in person and through the Web, there needs to be policing, at least on school campuses.

Ultimately, that is the goal. Once students can understand that being able to post online is a serious form of expression and affects more than the individual’s post, sites like Yik Yak can be allowed to take a more productive place in society.

Selfie sticks deserve consideration The selfie stick is a harmless toy with solid practicality VIVIAN CHOW Daily Titan Before you crucify me for proposing such an idea as giving selfie sticks a chance, hear me out.

With the advent of cameras on cell phones and the growth of social media, the selfie has undoubtedly taken the world by storm.

Some denounce selfies altogether, saying it encourages the most narcissistic elements of human nature.

Although I agree the navel-gazing pastime of taking selfies can be laughable, people who denounce the selfie stick need to step back and relax.

I’m in no way a fan of the selfie stick. It’s pretty amusing to watch someone take a picture using a selfie stick

and it can be pretty annoying if you’re trying to get around in a crowded area full of tourists wielding these sticks.

Quite a few venues have banned the selfie stick already, including art museums like The Getty Center, landmarks like the Colosseum and even music venues like Wembley Stadium.

It’s understandable to ban these toys at museums and music venues, but there is a lot to be said for what the selfie stick can achieve.

At its simplest form, the selfie stick is just a tool that allows people to take better photos with their phones and without the help of someone else.

As much of a selfie-hater as I am, I’ll admit to giving in to the occasional selfie, especially with friends. It’s a fun guilty pleasure most college students indulge in.

But there’s a practical element to the selfie stick, as ridiculous as it sounds.

The long extension of the telescopic rod gives unprecedented photo potential, instantly allowing your entire group of friends, as well as the landscape behind them, to show up in one perfectly framed photo that would otherwise be impossible with human arms.

From a photography standpoint, you have to be in favor of the selfie stick.

Photographers use all kinds of wacky contraptions to achieve the perfect photo; a selfie stick is just the everyman’s version.

Not to mention the safety net a selfie stick provides; the less often you need to hand a stranger your phone or camera for a photo, the less likely it is they’ll run away with it.

Phones and cameras are nearly ubiquitous, but they’re an expensive piece of equipment that always has a market.

If the selfie stick bugs you, don’t worry, you’re not alone.

But constantly griping and

Selfie sticks have taken the world by storm and can be seen being used by people everywhere.

moaning about how annoying they are is more of a reflection of you than it is of the selfie takers.

Relax, people are just trying to have a little fun. If you think

about it, since selfie sticks take far superior photos than the traditional arm-crook selfie, it will mean better photos across all social media feeds. Who isn’t a fan of that?

Don’t worry, selfie sticks are a sign of the times. Like any trend, they’ll eventually wither and recede into the annals of nostalgic pop-culture lists in the future.

Letter to the Editor In response to “Feminism is still a necessity” FROM STUDENT C

AMANDA SHARP / DAILY TITAN

Coffee is a prominent part of many college students’ lives. Fortunately, studies show drinking a cup of coffee can have many health benefits, including a lower risk of developing heart disease.

Coffee promotes healthy lifestyle

Drinking a few cups of coffee a day has many benefits LEON ROMERO Daily Titan

People have consistently seen habitual coffee drinking as an unhealthy habit, similar to smoking cigarettes, excessive alcohol drinking and overeating.

That is until recent studies conducted in Seoul, South Korea at the Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, which have indicated that individuals who drink coffee every day have a much lower risk

of suffering a heart attack.

The study participants, who were directed to drink three to five cups of coffee daily, had less calcium deposits through their coronary arteries, which means they have a lower chance of developing heart disease.

Many people have feared drinking too much coffee, because there haven’t been any legitimate studies that declare drinking plenty of coffee is a positive thing and not just an atrocious custom.

If the results of these studies are verified, coffee places like Starbucks might start promoting their coffee as part of a healthy lifestyle.

This rings good news for college students who might find themselves with a coffee addiction.

The benefits that this new study have brought to light aren’t the only benefits that come with drinking coffee.

There’s the widely-known benefit of pumping tons of caffeine into your system to stay awake longer.

Coffee also has 3,5 dicaffeoylquinic acid, which assists with maintaining your brain health as well as trigonelline, which helps prevent cavities.

Coffee is essentially an antioxidant because of its multitude of health benefits.

Dear Editor, I just wanted to raise a few issues I had with your recent article “Feminism is still a necessity.” It seems as of lately, the feminist movement as it is today gains more and more support, but as this article shows, it can be by scare tactics and false information. Firstly yes, it’s unfair that women get paid less, but realistically the gap is not 77 cents to the dollar, its closer to 96 cents. The 77 cents myth comes from sources ignoring time taken off for numerous reasons, working less and frankly different careers.

Many sources (Huffington Post, Washington Post, etc) agree to that fact.

Logically, it doesn’t make sense. If an employer could hire women for less, wouldn’t the working force be mostly women? This maximizes profits, right? Let’s not forget women are attending higher education at higher rates and that trend shows no sign of stopping. So when the gap switches, as it most likely will, are feminists going to then argue for increased male salaries? I also dislike the tired ‘society blaming’ approach feminists use greatly, as does the article. Men face a lot of social pressure, too. Men must be emotionless, strong, authoritative and always in control. That’s just unreasonable and unfair, and women help promote that most women prefer muscular, tall men, and if they show attachment, the relationship is doomed. If we both are judged by our appearances, why is it so tragic against women and ignored against men? Rape is a tragedy, but men can get the short end of the stick. Rape laws for women are much more strict than with men. Most recently, the “yes means yes” law, which punishes the accused (and since most rape claims by men are laughed away, it means it’s punishing men) harshly at any say of the accuser. Women can take away the consent to sex whenever, as they should, but that means they can be considered raped at that very moment. Men do not get such comfort, and people still think that men having an erection is considered consent. Plus, women can claim rape to make a mistake, regret or any decision they suddenly believe is not their fault, and when proven wrong, they face no real repercussions. I don’t agree with feminism; they claim to fight for equality, but too many feminists use it as a means to degrade men, and if you try to argue against it, you are automatically labeled a misogynist, rapist or a number of hateful things. I know not all feminists are like this, but it’s the vocal ones that get the most media coverage. Yes, we need equality in society, but it shouldn’t be at the cost of men.

Sincerely, Student C. (kept anonymous for a reason)

New legalization leads to new legislation Legalizing marijuana can result in chain reaction legislation KATELYNN DAVENPORT Daily Titan If marijuana were to be nationally legalized, the decision would be met with equal parts “Right on man” and “What has the world come to?”

If someone wants to smoke marijuana recreationally, in private, in the states that do not allow it, he or she should go for it; however, its use should not be openly permitted by the formation of a new federal law.

By passing a law that allows marijuana use to be legalized, a cloud of additional laws would consequently follow. Legalizing a drug that has been illegal for years would amount to an equally undesirable hassle for both marijuana supporters and protesters.

One of the main issues with a federal law legalizing marijuana is that a crop of other laws and regulations would be necessary to follow the first new law. There are many jobs where employees should not be under the influence of anything while on the job. If marijuana were

to be legalized, businesses would have to take extra precautions to ensure their employees are not under the influence while on the job.

This would raise a whole slew of new safety procedures and even the possibility of being drug tested every morning upon one’s arrival to work.

The government could be saving $7.7 billion dollars every year in expenditure on enforcement of prohibition by making the switch from marijuana being an illegal drug to a regulated, legal one, according to a study conducted by Harvard University economist Jeffrey Miron, Ph.D. This still raises the question of how the legalization of marijuana would be regulated.

In 2013, marijuana-related arrests totaled 13,779, according to a report made by the California Attorney General.

With the mass amount of people who get arrested every year for illegally using or possessing the drug, it doesn’t seem plausible that the government would be able to regulate use of the drug.

Smoking marijuana underage would become the new drinking underage, with just as many teens getting

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/OPINION

arrested. Would the federal legal age to smoke marijuana parallel the legal age to consume alcohol or smoke cigarettes?

New regulations would mean new laws and new costs.

A law legalizing marijuana is not so simply green and white as it has been made out to be.

The current push throughout the country is focused far more on the profit that would come as a result of the taxation on the drug; however, that money would have to be spent regulating the drug’s use.

Not only would legalizing and therefore regulating marijuana be costly, but the government would also have to worry about the evolution of marijuana companies becoming reminiscent of old-time big tobacco companies.

The passing of a federal law allowing for recreational and medicinal use of the drug is not inevitable because far too many new issues would arise that people generally don’t want to deal with. There are too many smoke rings to jump through in order to get there, so for now protesters need not worry and smokers can keep toking it up in private.

Junior second baseman Jake Jefferies went 2-for-9 with a double in the first two games against the rival Long Beach State Dirtbags, but did not play in the rubber match Sunday. The Titans would go on to lose the series that included two extra-inning contests. The series was a non-conference set against Long Beach State, but it set the tone for their conference matchup in May.

Titan baseball drops rubber match CSUF lost to rival Long Beach State in non-conference set VANESSA MARTINEZ For The Daily Titan With two out of three games going into extra innings, the Titans lost a tough series in the rubber match against Long Beach State to kick off their eight-game road trip.

On Friday, the Titans (1111) fell short, 4-3, in a fivehour marathon match. Junior starting pitcher Thomas Eshelman (1.87 ERA) delivered eight strikeouts in six innings, while allowing seven hits and three runs.

However, it took 12 innings to determine the winner, with the loss going to Miles Chambers, who came in relief at the bottom of the ninth.

An action-packed first inning set the game at 2-2 with a two-run homer from Fullerton first baseman Josh Estill and

individual runs from Long Beach’s Zack Domingues and Zack Rivera.

In the top of the second, left fielder Dalton Blaser grounded out to first base, bringing Jerrod Bravo home for the 3-2 Titan lead. With the grounder, Bravo extended his hitting streak to eight games.

However, the Dirtbags answered back in a flash, with Nico Maida driving in Brock Lundquist for the 3-3 tie at the bottom of the third.

The game was held scoreless after the third inning up until the 12th, where Chris Mathewson hit a walkoff single through the right side, bringing home Garrett Hampson for the Long Beach game-winning run.

The Titans left a total of 14 runners on base for the night.

They are now 0-5 for the season when they hit a home run.

A bases-loaded walk in extra innings determined game two on Saturday, as the Titans picked up their first road win of the season.

The 2-1 win against the Dirtbags evened out the series at Blair Field. Titan catcher A.J. Kennedy walked three times for the day, but his last one came at a crucial time for the Titans, with the game tied 1-1 in the 10th inning. With the bases loaded, Kennedy showed bunt on a full count pitch by Dirtbags closer Ty Provencher. The ball four call moved the runners forward, bringing home Blaser for the game winner.

“We’re getting plenty of guys on base, but we haven’t been hitting. So today, we reverted to a 3-2 squeeze that we invented right there in that inning. So it worked; the guy didn’t throw a strike,” Fullerton Head Coach Rick Vanderhook said.

Kennedy had struggled at the plate in game one, going 0-for-3. However, his change of game plan proved to be successful on Saturday.

“I just slowed the game down today. Yesterday, I was rushing at the plate; I got off my plan a couple times, but

today I was trying not to do too much and not try to be the guy. So I just tried to set up my offense, get on base, move me over, do the little things right,” Kennedy said.

CSUF closer Tyler Peitzmeier earned his seventh save of the season with the help of relief pitcher Maxwell Gibbs, who delivered five strikeouts before him.

“I was just trying to just stick to what I’m working with, keep the ball low. I got kind of lucky there; they tried to bunt and they couldn’t do it, but (I) just (tried) to stick to what I do good and just try to work from there,” Gibbs said.

On Sunday, Long Beach took advantage of Fullerton’s defensive mistakes to secure the series win, beating the Titans, 6-1 in the rubber match.

The Titans fell behind right away in the matchup; Long Beach’s Rivera and Domingues scored on a throwing error by Kennedy.

With the Dirtbags scoring two

additional runs, they finished the first inning on top 4-0.

Hampson, who went 3-for-4 at the plate, helped extend his team’s lead to 5-0 when he tripled to right field in the second inning. Hampson scored off a ground out by Domingues.

Fullerton was held scoreless until the sixth inning, where designated hitter David Olmedo-Barrera hit a triple of his own to right center field.

He subsequently scored on a fielding error by Hampson, making the score 5-1.

Hampson’s last at-bat, in the bottom of the seventh, was the final nail on the coffin. He ran in the final score of the game, setting it at 6-1 for the series win.

Fullerton’s John Gavin (2-1) took the loss and evened out the team’s record at 11-11.

The Titans and Dirtbags will meet again on May 21 at Goodwin Field for their official conference matchup.

Fullerton will continue their road trip and head out to Nebraska for a two-game series starting Tuesday.

Senior Kalika Slevcove hits a high-bouncing shot with a forehand. Slevcove lost her No. 3 doubles match with partner Emilia Borkowski 6-3 to Wyoming’s duo of Dorottya Jonas and Silviya Zhelyazkova.

The Titans would go on to fall to the Wyoming Cowgirls 5-2 Thursday at Titan Courts. CSUF is now 8-10 on the season and still searching for their first Big West Conference win.

Titans wrangled by Cowgirls Women’s tennis fall to agressive Wyoming squad on Thursday MATT CORKILL Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team dropped its final non-Big West Conference match of the season in a 5-2 loss to the University of Wyoming at the Titan Courts on Thursday.

The Titans ran into trouble early as the aggressive Wyoming Cowgirls took

advantage of unforced errors to sweep doubles play and earn the 1-0 edge.

“A few of the matches (the Fullerton players) made way too many unforced errors. The girls made (Wyoming) play, but we were just impatient with our game and if we kept a few more balls and waited for our opportunities, it would have been a different story,” Head Coach Dianne Matias said.

Wyoming took the early momentum into singles as they jumped out to a decisive 5-1 match lead with only freshman Danielle

Pham earning the lone Titan point in her 6-3, 6-2 win over Jessica Parizher.

“I’ve been having a lot of confidence in my singles game,” Pham said.

“I’ve just been playing my own game, not focusing on my opponent, moving them around, trying to come into the net and finish the point at the net.”

Sophomore Camille De Leon got an early taste of tournament play as all eyes were on her match on the No. 2 court against Nastya Tokareva as the afternoon came to a close. De Leon took the first set 6-2, but

found that she had to earn each point thereafter. She dropped the second set 6-3 before battling back in the final set to win 7-6.

“I knew I was panicking, so I had to settle down, get my momentum back, take my time, just keep rallying (Tokareva) and tire her out.

If she hit her short ball, I went for it,” De Leon said. “Then I started mixing up the pace because I knew she was having trouble there, so I started slicing and drop shotting and that definitely helped me throughout my match because I knew she didn’t

like coming in at the net.”

The Titans (8-10 overall, 0-5 Big West) will be taking a break from match play until April 2 when they will resume against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (2-9 overall, 0-2 Big West), both teams searching for their first Big West Conference win. With only three matches remaining before the Big West Championships at Indian Wells, the Titans will need to remain focused in these final matches if they hope to avoid facing the top seeds.

“Every player has certain

things they need to work on. We’re going to use the next week-and-a-half to focus on the little weakness or the little improvements we need to make with each player,” Matias said.

Track has strong showing in Las Vegas

Jessica Flores set a school record in the hammer throw event JUSTIN PATUANO Daily Titan

Junior thrower Jessica Flores broke school and personal records in the hammer throw on Friday when the Titans competed at the University of Las Vegas, Nevada Spring Invitational.

Flores heaved a record-setting 196 feet, 5 inches on her fifth attempt of the day, giving her the first-place victory. This beat her old personal record by over 22 feet.

The last Cal State Fullerton hammer throw record was set by Jameena Hunt in 2010, when Hunt threw for 185 feet, 1 inch.

Senior Taylor Frank partook in the heptathlon

100-meter hurdles, shot put and 200-meter dash on Friday. She recorded a 15.06 second time in the 100-meter hurdles, threw 7.84 meters in the shot put and sprinted the 200-meter dash in 26.92 seconds.

Senior Tejera Dial placed first in the women’s 800-meter run. She timed in at a personal best 2:10.23 seconds on Saturday, just half a second behind the school record.

Taylor Ros, Trevor Gorwin and Malik Johnson were also part of the first place parade.

Ros placed first in the men’s 400-meter run, Johnson won the men’s high jump and Gorwin captured the men’s shot put.

Ros ran the 400-meter in 47.86 seconds, a distance he excels at. He also placed first in the 400-meter relay at the Riverside Community College Open and 4x400-meter

relay at the Ben Brown Invitational.

Johnson sprang 2.05 meters in the high jump. His mark was shared with two other jumpers, Scott Maoke of Utah Valley and Anthony Gregory of Weber State. Johnson cleared the same height at last week’s Ben Brown Invitational, although his jump was only good enough for second at that meet.

Gorwin powered his way into first place in the shot put. He marked a throw of 54 feet, 11.5 inches. He took first at the aforementioned Ben Brown Invite, finishing with a 53 feet, 25 inches mark. He also set a personal best at the hammer throw in Las Vegas with a throw of 170 feet, 11 inches.

The next meet for the Titans is the three-day UC Riverside Invitational. The event begins March 26 and wraps up March 28.

Baseball travels for final tuneup before Big West play The Titans will face Nebraska for a quick two-game series RYAN WHITEHEAD For The Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton baseball continues their eightgame road trip when they face another Big 10 opponent, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

The Titans have had an up-and-down season so far, as they’ve tried to remain

above .500. Currently their record sits at 11-11. Fullerton will hope to use the upcoming road trip to bring their record to a winning mark and push their winning percentage over .500.

The Titans’ last two road trips did not go well, as they were swept by the Hoosiers of Indiana and just recently lost two out of three to the Long Beach State Dirtbags.

Two of the games went into extra-innings, with Fullerton sandwiching a win between two losses.

Fullerton hopes this trip to Nebraska will be a different outcome than their previous road trips. This is a quick two-game series before Fullerton heads back to California to kick off their Big West Conference schedule against Cal State Northridge.

Going into the Nebraska game, the Titans hold a 27-11 overall record against Big 10 teams. Against the Cornhuskers, Fullerton holds a perfect 8-0 record. The teams met twice last year in the Stillwater

Regional—the Titans taking both games.

Nebraska currently holds a 17-6 overall record coming into this series. The Titans will have to face a Cornhusker team that is undefeated at home, holding a 10-0 record at Hawks Field.

The Nebraska offense is led by sophomore outfielder Ryan Boldt, who leads the team with a .372 batting average. Boldt has scored 24 runs on 29 hits so far this season. Ben Miller and Blake Headley also have

matching .333 batting averages and have both batted in 22 runs each.

Nebraska pitching is led by senior left-hander Kyle Kubat, who comes in with 4-0 record, in which he has recorded 24 strikeouts and seven earned runs over 39.1 innings pitched.

Fullerton’s offense struggled in the Long Beach series after scoring 11 runs in the Cal State Bakersfield game. The team batting average has dropped to .245, as they only scored seven runs in the Long Beach

series. Junior second baseman Jake Jefferies leads the team with a .316 batting average.

Fullerton aces Thomas Eshelman and Justin Garza still lead the Titans in pitching, with 1.87 and 2.00 ERAs, respectively.

The Titans know there’s plenty of season left and plenty of time to put more wins on the board. Fullerton will hope to rack up those wins Tuesday. First pitch against the Cornhuskers is Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. at Hawks Field.
