Ludacris and Tyga hype up Titan offense crowd at Spring Concert erupts at UCR

CSUF outscores Highlanders 35-4 in road series win DREW CAMPA Daily Titan

MARIAH CARRILLO / DAILY TITAN

Atlanta rapper Ludacris performed in place of Wiz Khalifa at the Associated Students, Inc. 2015 Spring Concert on Saturday. The lineup also included West Coast rapper Tyga, and winners of ASI’s Battle of the Bands and Battle of the DJs competitions, One11 and DJ Cascio.

Spring Concert features festivallike atmosphere ANGIE PEREZ Daily Titan Over 4,000 students swarmed the intramural field Saturday afternoon for the Associated Students, Inc. annual Spring Concert, which sold out in one day, setting an Associated Students record.

Associated Students fell under pressure after original headliner, Wiz Khalifa, cancelled his appearance just nine days before the concert.

However, Associated Students rushed to find a replacement of equal caliber, Spring Concert coordinator Shannon Franklin said.

Fortunately, Associated Students received confirmation that dirty-south Atlanta rapper Ludacris was available to do the show,

finalizing the Spring Concert lineup with himself, One11, DJ Cascio and West Coast rapper Tyga.

This year, Associated Students amped things up for students by creating a festival-like atmosphere, with attractions scattered throughout the field, including carnival games, slides and the Rock-O-Plane ferris wheel.

A crowd favorite was the puppy and reptile area where students gathered to play with cuddly puppies and scaly reptiles such as a boa constrictor, an australian bearded dragon and an eyelash gecko.

Winners of 2015 Battle of the Bands, One11, kept a steady genre diversity with its four indie rock band members; Matthew Sutton on bass and background vocals, Michael Ramirez on guitar and keyboard, Ryan Cenicola on drums and vocals and CSUF student Even Boydstun on lead guitar.

Homeless highlighted at Box City Event brings in donations for OC homeless ALEXANDER FAIRBANKS Daily Titan More than 100 Cal State Fullerton students chose to be homeless Friday night, sleeping inside cardboard boxes on campus as part of an event intended to bring attention to homelessness.

The event, Box City, was put on by Master of Social Work students to raise money and awareness for homeless people in Orange County.

The event lasted through Friday evening and into Saturday morning, and featured activities and speakers Friday night. “(Homeless are) one of those types of populations that are really overlooked because there is such a negative stigma with it,” Alex Wehrman, 23, Master

of Social Work student said.

Wehrman participated in the inaugural Box City event last year, which she described as eye opening.

Caroline Bailey, Ph.D., associate professor of social work, led the Box City program as part of a class she teaches.

“The program is designed to engage the campus community in a discussion about poverty and homelessness,” Bailey said.

Box City is a culmination of a semester’s worth of work, which includes fundraising and donation gathering by Bailey’s students all to help the homeless, Crosbie said.

Last year the social work program provided 16 families with a deposit for their first month’s rent, a week’s worth of groceries for 80 families and gave enough clothes to clothe “an entire village,” Crosbie said.

Cal State Fullerton baseball moved into a three-way tie for first in the Big West Conference as they swept UC Riverside in three games at the Riverside Sports Complex.

The Titans (26-20 overall, 11-4 Big West) came alive offensively in their weekend series against the Highlanders (13-32 overall, 2-13 Big West). Fullerton outscored Riverside 35-4 over the weekend, including a 19-0 victory Saturday. The Titans also won 9-0 Friday in the opener, as well as 7-4 in Sunday’s series finale.

The Titans picked up where they left off earlier in the week, collecting their third win in a row by a score of 9-0. Fullerton tallied 15 hits, as junior Josh Vargas lead the way going 3-for-4.

A total of five Titans ended the game with hits, including David Olmedo-Barrera, Tanner Pinkston, Taylor Bryant and Jarrod Bravo, who finish with three runs batted in.

Junior Thomas Eshelman was on the mound for the Titans Friday night, where he earned his fifth win of the season. Eshelman pitched seven scoreless innings on the night, giving up four hits and striking out seven without walking a batter. So far this season, Eshelman has totaled 86 strikeouts, while only giving up five walks.

Eshelman retired 10 straight batters between the first and fourth innings, striking out six consecutive batters throughout his early-inning dominance.

Fullerton’s Chad Hockin and Shane Stillwagon finished the game with a scoreless inning apiece.

Saturday was a record-breaking day for the the Titans as they managed to score 19 runs on 25 hits.

This is the first time the Titans totaled 25 hits since a 25-0 victory against Pacific on March 30, 2013. This is also the most runs the Titans have scored in a game this season since scoring 13, which they did twice, once against UC Davis and against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Timmy Richards, Dustin Vaught, A.J. Kennedy, Dalton Blaser, Tyler Stieb, Olmedo-Barrera, Bryant and Vargas all collected multiple hits on the night. Kennedy and Bryant tied for the team lead with three hits each. Richards finished the game with a career-high five RBIs. Justin Garza pitched for the Titans Saturday night and went six innings, giving up three hits, two walks, while striking out five batters. Garza picked up his fourth win of the season as the Titans shut out the Highlanders for the second consecutive night 19-0.

An American student was arrested and detained in North Korea after crossing into the country illegally, CNN reported.

Won-moon Joo, a New Jersey resident and student at New York University, reportedly crossed the Yalu River to go from China to North Korea.

He was arrested April 22 and the North Korean news agency reported that he admitted that his entry into the country was illegal.

Joo was not taking classes this semester, according to a statement from the university.

The South Korean Unification Ministry said it is working to determine the facts behind Joo’s detainment, but believes that he is being detained in North Korea.

Special Games returns to CSUF Event brings in thousands of special needs athletes DEVIN ULMER Daily Titan Thousands of developmentally disabled students from schools in Orange County are to spend Friday at Cal State Fullerton for the annual Kathleen E. Faley Memorial Special Games.

Athletes from roughly 85 schools participated in the games, and students from 23 high schools volunteered their time and to spend the day with an assigned special needs buddy at various activities.

“The kids were all just teamed up with high school aged buddies … they had a blast,” said Patricia Montoya, special education teacher at Grandview College

Preparatory Academy.

About 2,500 special athletes were expected to attend, and each was paired with one of 4,000 volunteers, according to the special games website.

The efforts of volunteers didn’t escape the notice of special education instructors, including Paul Unga from Etiwanda High School.

“Some of my kids didn’t even know how to swing a bat ... to see the kids trying to help them with their batting technique was kind of cool,” Unga said.

The CSUF intramural field, North of Titan Gym, was filled with non-competitive activities, including a football throw, basketball hoop toss, soccer goal kicks, T-Balls, bean bag toss, 50 yard fun dash, volleyball, frisbee toss, wiffle ball and more.

Maurice Davison, senior at Servite High School, was paired up with a buddy and the

two participated in basketball, football and soccer together.

“I’m just glad to see smiles on kids’ faces,” Davison said.

The whole festival was focused on creating special memories for disabled students, who might not normally get these types of experiences.

Zoya Mota, a special games athlete from Travis Ranch Middle School, said her favorite part was petting the Pet Prescription Team therapy dogs.

“We did kickball, we did the baseball over there, we ran around, and we definitely did the dancing because our class loves the dancing,” Unga said.

The event was created as a class project by Dan Faley, Lisa Whaley and Dan Bohen in 1986, as a unique day where disabled students can play, be themselves, and get lots of love and attention.

Robert Brassaw, Master of Social Work student said he is very passionate about the Box City event and remembers what Bailey told him about the importance of what they are doing, he said.

“For the families being affected by this, they are basically being told that there are 100 people that are willing to spend their time, their energy, their money, their blood, sweat and tears to say ‘you matter,’” Brassaw said.

This year, individuals

associated with the event added a dozen neighborhoods showcasing different facets of the homeless population.

These included one neighborhood representing homeless veterans, another for homeless people with mental illnesses, a third represented LGBTQ homeless people, and another neighborhood housed people representing homeless single parents.

In Orange County there are about 4,000 to 6,000 people each night with no home to sleep in, said Casey Crosbie, executive director of Family

Promise of Orange County.

Crosbie helps lead the Orange County chapter of the national organization and provides food and shelter for the local homeless community.

CSUF’s master program in social work is directly connected to Family Promise of Orange County, an organization which seeks to stabilize the lives of homeless families and provide them with temporary housing and other support. All of the program fundraising from Box City goes to the organization for it to help the homeless.

Protests over the mistreatment of Ethiopian Jews in Tel Aviv turned violent Sunday, and 57 police officers and 12 protesters were injured, CNN reported.

The protests stemmed from a video showing an Israel Defense Forces soldier of Ethiopian descent being beaten by police officers.

Protesters gathered together in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square, where they chanted, “a violent cop should be in jail” in response.

Authorities used horses, water canons and smoke to disperse the crowd.

The protest followed on the heels of a peaceful protest of more than 1,000 in Jerusalem.

OC restaurants to serve food fit for Cinco de Mayo MATTHEW HADDIX Daily Titan Cinco de Mayo is Tuesday, and it is a great opportunity for students to go out and celebrate.

No celebration would be complete without food, and this Cinco de Mayo will be a great opportunity to try regional Mexican food in Orange County.

Most Mexican food in the United States has been heavily influenced by the cuisine of Northern Mexico. This arid region proved ideal for raising cattle and wheat, but less so for fruits and vegetables. Northern Mexican cuisine tends to focus on outdoor grilling of meat, a wide variety of cheeses and flour tortillas.

For those seeking to stick to their basic authentic favorites, like burritos and flat steak, El Nopal restaurant in Anaheim is a smart choice.

The menu offers a wide range of quesadillas, tacos, burritos and fajitas, as well as traditional dishes like molcajete. The fajitas al res burrito with grilled beef, onions, bell peppers and a mild sauce in a fresh flattop grilled flour tortilla is excellent.

Mexican cuisine, Californians are lucky to have local Mexican restaurants that cook dishes from Southern Mexico as well.

These dishes offer a stark contrast to their northern counterparts, thanks to influences from Mayan and European cultures.

“

The fajitas al res burrito with grilled beef, onions, bell peppers and a mild sauce in a fresh flat top grilled flour tortilla is excellent.

Celebrate holiday with authentic Mexican cuisine

The state of Oaxaca in Southeast Mexico is known as the birthplace of mole, a layered sauce that often requires hours of labor to complete.

The mole negro is one of the most well known moles—it tends to be slightly smoky, chocolatey and indelibly smooth.

Casa Oaxaca in Santa Ana wholeheartedly embraces its traditional roots; the interior is heavily influenced by Mexican culture.

In traditional Oaxacan style, tamales served by Casa Oaxaca are wrapped in a banana leaf, rather than a corn husk, and are filled with shredded chicken, fine masa and drizzled with mole negro.

While both El Nopal and Casa Oaxaca offer excellent Mexican food at an equally excellent price,

there are a few restaurants in Orange County that offer more nuanced Southern Mexican cuisine for more money.

Gaby’s Kitchen in Orange offers a wide variety of dishes influenced by the cuisine of Yucatan, Veracruz and Chiapas.

One of the more difficult dishes to find in Orange County is a well executed pozole verde—a hominy soup with meat and vegetables from the Chiapas region.

Gaby’s serves a pozole verde that has swordfish, littleneck clams, shrimp, arugula, radish and avocado. Drinks can also be purchased but can get pricy, with most cocktails priced at $12 or more.

For a blend of Yucatan influences and French cuisine, look no further than Anepalco’s Cafe near The Block in Orange. Along with a slew of delicious dishes, Anepalco’s offers Yucatan’s most famous dish—the cochinita pibil.

The cochinita pibil is a suckling pig wrapped in banana leaves and cooked for hours, making it incredibly tender and is often paired with achiote, the regional spice of Yucatan.

Anepalco’s offers cochinita pibil on a cuban sandwich, in enchiladas, or even sprinkled over Anepalco’s chilaquiles.

All of these restaurants can be found on Yelp, and have no less than a fourstar overall rating.

Local brunch spot Rialto Café is a success This local gem is perfect for hosting friends and family ASHLEY CAMPBELL Daily Titan With summer just around the corner, lazy mornings and cocktails before noon are just at our fingertips.

Although downtown Fullerton is known mostly for its nightlife, there are also plenty of restaurants for those looking for something to eat earlier in the day.

Among them is Rialto Café, on the corner of West Wilshire Avenue and North Harbor Boulevard.

Owned by a father and daughter duo, the cute little café is buzzing with locals, all on a first-name basis with one another.

The café is full of chatter, with everyone catching up over Rialto’s amazing organic coffee. This place is the epitome of a local gem.

The café is a bit small, with only a few tables for outdoor seating, a six seater bar and six tables inside, but their extensive menu makes up for the cramped venue.

The menu is divided between breakfast on one side and lunch items on the other.

Located in the heart of downtown Fullerton, Rialto Café serves up a tasty brunch and dinner menu. The spot is a local favorite, where guests and servers are on a first name basis. Although it’s small, the delicious food is worth the wait. The diverse menu serves everything from omlettes and paninis, to salads and chicken cacciatore.

being 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., on most days, the busiest hour is around noon—perfect for brunch.

Their breakfast menu satisfies both savory and sweet cravings, including everything from simple eggs and pancakes to huevos rancheros, a smoked salmon breakfast crostini and of course, their incredibly delicious crepes with nutella

and strawberries.

The lunch menu has all the tasty classics we love from a café including burgers, paninis, soup de jour and a selection of salads.

The most exciting item by far on their lunch menu would have to be their southwest panini.

A panini itself is enough to make your mouth water, but adding fresh ingredients

like pico de gallo and avocado on just-baked sourdough bread elevates the sandwich to perfection. A must-try for sure.

Although they are mostly known for their brunch menu, Rialto does serve dinner, but only on Fridays and Saturdays from 6-10 p.m.

Their dinner menu is small, but definitely does

not disappoint.

Serving items like chicken cacciatore, balsamic top sirloin and ahi salad, Rialto Café shows it’s more than a one-trick pony.

Rialto Café is absolutely scrumptious and delivers in both hospitality as well as cuisine.

The only criticism I can make is that their menu is a bit on the pricier side.

But in all fairness, the price is reasonable considering the freshness of the food and the quaint, lively atmosphere. Rialto Café is a great place to stop by before or after class.

With great service, amazing food and a charming atmosphere, this local gem is worth a trip the next time you’re looking for a tasty bite.

Sophomore pitcher Stillwagon got a chance to swing the bat for the Titans Saturday and picked up his first career hit.

Fullerton completed the sweep with a 7-4 win against UC Riverside Sunday.

The Titans set a school record, pitching 30.2 consecutive scoreless innings dating back to the seventh inning against USC Tuesday night. The recording-breaking streak was broken up in the seventh

inning as the Highlanders’ Cody Sporrer flied out to cash in Adonis Morrison from third base.

For the third consecutive game, the Titans’ starting pitcher picked up the win.

Freshman John Gavin (6-1) pitched five innings, allowing four hits, four strikeouts and finished the game with no walks.

The Titans got out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning thanks to three hits and a walk. The Titans would never relinquish the lead.

Bravo, who got on

base via a walk, has now reached base in 27 consecutive games.

The Titans elevated their record to 11-4 in the Big West Conference, which ties them with UC Irvine and the No. 11-ranked team in the nation, UC Santa Barbara.

The Titans are riding a five-game winning streak since their bats and pitching both caught fire over the past week.

Fullerton will need to continue their solid play this weekend; they will take on fellow conference

leaders and one of the top teams in the nation in UCSB (34-10 overall, 11-4

Big West).

The Gauchos will make the trip down to Goodwin

At the Northridge Invitational, junior Joshua Gordon set a school record in the men’s 400-meter while sophomore Ty’Jalayah Robertson also set a school mark in the women’s high jump.

Track sets new records in two-meet weekend Women’s high jump and men’s 400-meter marks fall at CSUN DREW CAMPA Daily Titan School records fell, victories were accumulated and impressive showings were had throughout for the Cal State Fullerton men’s and women’s track and field programs over a weekend twoevent span.

The Titans enjoyed most of their success at Saturday’s four-team Cal State Northridge Challenge a day after competing in the larger field at the Steve Scott Invitational at UC Irvine.

A historic Saturday afternoon belonged to a pair of Titans, sophomore Ty’Jalayah Robertson and junior Joshua Gordon.

Robertson broke a 17-year school record in the high jump when the Walnut High product won the event with a leap of 5 feet, 8 inches. The mark eclipsed the program’s previous-best effort of 5-7 3/4, set by Loren Gualco in 1998.

Robertson was not done, however, as she also set

another personal-best mark of 38-9 1/2 (11.82 meters) in taking silver for the triple jump.

As for Gordon, the junior also turned in a stellar effort.

The Northridge native thrived in his own backyard as he set a school record in the 400-meter dash with a silver-medalist time of 46.93.

The time just surpassed the school record mark of 46.98, which had been held by Brandon Campbell since 2000.

The accolade came on a day in which Gordon was also second in the 200-meter dash (21.65) and helped pace the men’s 400-meter and 1,600-meter relay teams to victories with times of 40.98 and 3:15.43, respectively.

Perhaps lost in the fervor over school records was another outstanding performance by Tyler Hardge.

The freshman was a twotime individual champion, winning the women’s 100-meter hurdles in 14.13 seconds, while also claiming the 400-meter hurdles victory in 1:00.10.

Additionally, Fullerton boasted five more individual victors Saturday, including senior Tejera Dial winning the 800-meter run in 2:10.67.

On the men’s side, Nick

Sole clinched the 100-meter (10.78), Shelby Hernandez won the 800-meter (1:52.17), Daniel Walker was the top javelin competitor with a throw of 54.05 meters (1774 feet) and Steven Williams won another high jump competition with a jump of 2.10 meters (6 feet, 10 inches).

Prior to Saturday, the Titans took part in the Steve Scott Invitational hosted by Big West Conference rival UC Irvine on Friday.

While no victories were posted, Fullerton still came away with some positive results.

Sophomore David Ramirez posted his squad’s top finish when he placed third in the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase in a personal-record time of 9:05.70.

Tim Reed also competed in the steeplechase and was not far off Ramirez’s pace, taking fifth in 9:15.90.

On the women’s side, Pamela Pelayo was fourth in the steeplechase in 11:19.85, while Arianna Fuentes took fifth in 11:32.35.

Both weekend meets served as final preparation for Fullerton before the Big West Conference Combined Events, which begin Friday at UC Riverside.

(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

Avoid someone who’s all talk. A lucky break propels your actions farther. Let your imagination run wild. Dress up; you never know whom you’ll run into. Make plans with friends.

GEMINI

Listen to your conscience before committing to a fantasy. Only buy what you need. A surprise announcement could catch you off guard. Reassure a skeptic.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

You’re energized. Cultivate inner peace. Imagine your future. Make a commitment you’ve been considering, to take advantage of an opportunity. Provide information with a marketing spin.

A public meeting holds a surprise.

Nebulous dreams could tempt you to distraction, but required chores interfere. Get everyone in on the action... many hands make light work.

Invest in efficiency. Demand explanations. Start imagining life outside your rut.

(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

Don’t buy toys or goof off today. Do what you promised before indulging in treats. Make plans, confirm reservations and pay bills. Upgrade work technology. You get a bright idea, but don’t over-extend.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

Controversy arises. Don’t fall for a trick. Explain your secret weapon to your team. Others help out, in an amazing development. There’s no need to rush.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

You spot an antique you want. Give up something you don’t need. Collect any money you’re owed. In some cases, study is required. Share information, and review what you’re learning with a partner.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

Be careful about spending money you don’t have yet. Let a big decision sit overnight. Talk it over, and consider your health and work commitments. Don’t get singed.

AQUARIUS

(JA. 20 - FEB. 18):

Envision sharing fun with family and friends, and getting something done at the same time.

Generate the funds. Choose a new paint color.

Listen to your intuition.

PISCES

(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

Power past old fears. Use your secret resource to upgrade your home. You’re gaining skills... reveal what you’ve learned. It could get confusing.

If so, wait and try later. You’re admired for your clever imagination. Don’t press a controversial point, though.

Softball wins key road series Late rally gives the Titans big win in the finale over UC Davis DREW CAMPA Daily Titan Thanks to a four-run seventh inning, the Cal State Fullerton softball team rallied for a stunning comefrom-behind 7-6 victory in Sunday afternoon’s series finale versus host UC Davis.

The win clinched the Titans’ three-game series versus the Aggies, with a 4-1 defeat Saturday afternoon offset by a 3-1 triumph in the second leg of the doubleheader.

With the series victory, the Titans improved their season record to 32-21 overall. Fullerton is 10-8 in conference and tied with Hawaii (29-22 overall, 10-8 Big West) for third in the Big West Conference.

A defeat seemed a foregone conclusion for Fullerton Sunday, as the Titans entered the seventh inning trailing 6-3.

Fullerton’s rally began with a walk and stolen base for Gabrielle Rodas, who then trotted home on a run-scoring single from Sydney Colenzo.

A two-run single from Courtney Rodriguez followed a double from Missy Taukeiaho and knotted the score at six. Rodriguez eventually scored the goahead run due to a fielding error to give Fullerton a 7-6 lead.

CSUF redshirt junior pitcher Desiree Ybarra (106), who entered the game in the fourth inning, recorded

three quick outs in the seventh to secure the win.

Overall, Ybarra tossed 3.1 innings of relief, allowing two earned runs on four hits and a walk. Taukeiaho finished 2-for-3 with two doubles and one run batted in.

While late offense was on display Sunday, it was pitching that took center stage for the Titans in Saturday’s second game of the doubleheader.

Fullerton starting pitcher Christina Washington was masterful in the Titans’ 3-1 victory and improved her record to 16-6. The sophomore allowed one run on two hits with three walks in a complete-game effort.

UC Davis actually held a 1-0 lead after three innings, but Fullerton rallied for single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.

Lexi Gonzalez singled in Brooke Clemetson in the fourth, Sarah Moore singled in Samantha Vandiver in the fifth and Vandiver singled in Kylie Padilla in the sixth to account for Fullerton’s scoring.

While Fullerton’s pitching was stout in game two, UC Davis’ pitching was also strong in game one. In Saturday morning’s opening game of the series, the Aggies showed off some of that tough pitching.

In that contest, a 4-1 victory for the Aggies, UC Davis pitcher Leah Munden improved to 10-12 by allowing only one run on six hits over seven innings.

Fullerton briefly held a 1-0 lead in the contest when Vandiver singled to lead off the third and then scored two batters later on

a double from Courtney Rodriguez to center.

The Titans could have tacked on more runs in the inning, but Rodriguez was thrown out while running the bases. Immediately after the play, Titans teammate Moore doubled.

Moore was stranded at second, though.

UC Davis responded to the deficit by taking a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the third on a three-run blast from Kelly Zboralske.

Up next for Fullerton is the final season series of the year versus conference-leading Cal State Northridge (40-13 overall,
