On-campus sexual assault reported Sexual assault allegedly occured in student housing SPENCER CUSTODIO Daily Titan A sexual assault which allegedly took place Saturday in university student housing, was reported to the

University Police Department on Tuesday. The report did not originate with police, University Police Administrative Captain Scott Willey said. The police were given the information from the Title IX department on campus, which is part of federal enforcement prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in education. The unidentified alleged perpetrator was a

“non-stranger,” which is “typically a friend or acquaintance,” according to Willey. The report started when someone spoke with a Campus Security Authority figure (CSA), Willey said, which could be a resident advisor in student housing, faculty advisor, athletic director, coach or Title IX coordinator, or any other person that has significant responsibility of students and campus activities.

After the CSA took the report, they filed it with the Title IX office and the report was then relayed to University Police, Willey said. He also said University Police released everything they had about the case in a timely warning that was emailed to university employees late Tuesday afternoon. Unless there is an emergency on campus, like an active shooter, University Police

primarily emails CSUF employees solely regarding the incidents, Willey said. Afterwards, the Dean of Students, Tonantzin Oseguera, is responsible for notifying the student body of the incidents, Willey said. In cases of sexual assault, if the victim wants his or her identity to remain confidential while reporting to a CSA, the University Police would then get basic information about the

Car crash takes out pole

incident and would work the case from there, Willey said. There are over 200 CSAs on campus, Willey said. The CSAs are trained on Title IX and the Jeanne Clery Act so that they will be able to better understand the flow of communication for reporting incidents such as sexual assault to the Title IX office, Willey said.

Fullerton Police arrested a man on suspicion of driving under the influence shortly after midnight Wednesday, after crashing his car just past the sidewalk in front of Langsdorf Hall.

Police arrest driver on suspicion of DUI SPENCER CUSTODIO Daily Titan A black Dodge Ram pickup truck careened over the curb and landed in front of the

campus by Langsdorf Hall at the three-way intersection of Nutwood Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday night. The truck plowed over a light post after going through a flower bed just past the sidewalk. Sparks could be seen emitting from underneath the truck where the light post stood. Shervin Taheri witnessed

the accident and said the truck went over the curb at a high speed. “The good thing is that nobody was standing there. They would have been dead,” Taheri said. “Thank God nobody died or got injured. If this was in the daytime, it would be a whole different story.” “When I went up to him, he said he was sleepy ... he was

slurring his speech and he kept walking away from the scene,” Taheri said. Bystanders said they could smell alcohol on the driver’s breath. Fullerton Police arrived at approximately 11:23 p.m. and the Orange County Fire Authority arrived on the scene at 11:25 p.m. to check the driver. The Fullerton Police

Department arrested the driver on suspicion of driving under the influence after he failed a field sobriety test just after midnight Wednesday. Police officers on the scene said that they could not comment anymore on an active investigation. Alan Bernal and Rudy Chinchilla contributed to this report.

The Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team kicked off its 2015 season Monday in Washington at the Itani Quality Homes Collegiate, played at the Palouse Ridge Golf Course. The Titans finished third overall after three rounds and wrapped up their opening tournament on a high note. Washington State also put together a remarkable team performance, going 33-under par, beating out second place Seattle University by 10 points. After the first day of play, the Titans shot 1-under par in the first round and 7-under par in the second for a total of 8-under par. Redshirt senior Mark Jensma and freshman Jack Ireland ended the two-day tournament tied for 17th overall at 2-under par. SEE GOLF

Resource centers showcase programs at fair Students explore resources for their specific identities JESSICA BUTALLA Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton resource centers came together Tuesday to host the “Identity Fair,” an event for students who needed additional resources to further their academic career. The Identity Fair was “an open house of all the identity-based resources on campus,” said Mary Becerra,

director of the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center. The university offers a variety of resource centers that provide safe spaces and a community aspect, combined with specialized resources based on culture and gender, she said. “We have disability support services out here as well as veteran student services,” Becerra said. “So basically it is letting our campus community know that we have spaces on campus where students can go and network with other students like them and receive the specific support and care that they may need.” The resource centers will be running open houses for

the rest of the week. Students will be able to go into each center to ask questions, get a tour and learn about what services each center offers. Becerra said that identities intersect, so students have access to different resources. “We work together a lot, providing cross programming or collaborative programming,” Becerra said. Denice Velez, coordinator of the Chicana and Chicano Resource Center, hoped that the fair brought “visibility for students who might need a space to feel like they are at home.” SEE IDENTITY 2

CSUF students inquire about various resources at one of the booths set up at the Identity Fair in front of the Humanities building.

Identity: Students explore resources CONTINUED FROM

Some students do not know of the resources available to them on campus and staying connected to the campus is important, she said. Each resource center focused on bringing a sense of community to students.

“I think that is an important part for folks to feel that they are not alone in the process of trying to graduate and also having fun while doing it and that is part of the well-being of someone,” Velez said. The various resource centers coordinate programs that are open to the student

body such as awareness events and heritage months. Becerra said the centers are “really trying to get programming to the students and not (wait) for the students to come into the centers to receive the programming.” The Identity Fair is held once during each fall and spring semester.

Scholar to discuss peace in Palestine Palestinian peace activist talks about moderation in Islam GERARD AVELINO Daily Titan Scholar and Palestinian peace activist Mohammed S. Dajani will be speaking about his platform of promoting moderation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict Thursday evening at the Fullerton Marriott. Dajani’s goal is to emphasize moderation as a solution to understanding opposing viewpoints, said Cal State Fullerton political science professor Scott Spitzer, who organized the event. Dajani is a Weston Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and the founder of the Wasatia movement, a centrist, nonprofit initiative focused on teaching moderation and tolerance in Islam, especially for Palestinian communities. Dajani, who used to be a professor at the Al-Quds University in Jerusalem, is known for taking a group of

his students on a field trip to the site of former concentration camps in Auschwitz, Spitzer said. The trip, which aimed to teach Palestinian students about the Holocaust and empathy towards the Jewish people, was reportedly the first organized visit of Palestinian students to a Nazi death camp, according to the New York Times. The Israeli counterpart to the trip sent students to a Palestinian refugee camp. The program led to protests, violence and death threats against Dajani, who was forced to resign from his position at Al-Quds. “Very often, we think of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as between two extreme positions,” Spitzer said. The reality is that there are multiple ways of looking at the conflict, he said. Spitzer invited Dajani because his message is in line with the university’s mission that students understand and appreciate diverse cultures. “That’s what Cal State Fullerton is all about,” Spitzer said. The address, which is

open to the public, is sponsored by CSUF President Mildred García, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences Division of Politics, Administration and Justice and the Jewish Federation & Family Services of Orange County’s Rose Project, an advocacy group for a more respectful campus environment for Jewish students in local colleges. Spitzer hoped the event would be a springboard for future discussions on significant topics that are often difficult for students to talk about. “As a political science faculty member, I’ve found that students often shy away from political discussions for fear of being attacked for their opinions,” Spitzer said. An informal follow-up meeting will be held Oct. 8 at the Titan Dreamers Resource Center, where students who attended the Thursday program are expected to discuss Dajani’s speech, Spitzer said. Moderation in the Midst of Conflict: The Palestinian Wasatia Movement and the Path to Peace address will run from 6:15 to 7:30 p.m.

State assembly candidate Deborah Pauly was released from jail on a written promise to appear in court and will be arraigned on Oct. 26 in Orange County North Justice Center in Fullerton, according to the Voice of OC. The former Villa Park councilwoman was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence on Sept. 12 at 1:24 a.m. in Anaheim. Pauly, 56, was driving a blue Porsche 911 when she hit a parked white Mazda pickup truck. Officers deemed her intoxicated after conducting field sobriety tests. Pauly said that this incident was influenced by her husband’s decision to end their 32year marriage last month. “The stresses of this very painful personal circumstance are not an excuse and I take full responsibility for this lapse,” Pauly said in a written statement. “This incident is a reminder to stay focused on the campaign and to maintain my high personal standards of conduct and character.” Pauly is running against fellow Republican Harry Sidhu, a former Anaheim city councilman. - IMANI JACKSON

Sheriff to focus on lost persons Orange County is currently handling 1,200 active missing persons cases and housing 100 human remains, according to Sheriff’s Department reports, according to the OC Register. For over two decades, the identity of the person whose human femur washed ashore in Seal Beach remained a mystery. In June, authorities connected the remains to that of Percy Ray Carson, a 26-year-old Long Beach resident. The Orange County coroner and law enforcement officials are using this catalyst case to work together to reach out to families with missing members to encourage them to provide DNA samples in hopes of solving the cases. “We’re re-submitting material all the time on these older cases to try and make a match,” Senior Deputy Coroner Tiffany Williams said. Law enforcement and forensic officials are set to provide families with the opportunity to add information to the missing persons reports, including DNA cheek swabs, medical and dental reports as well as photographs and fingerprints. The outreach is the result of meetings with Southern California coroner offices, who hope to hold similar events in the months to come. - DAISY CARLOS

Dear Aunaetitrakul, assistant coordinator of Diversity Initiatives and Resource Centers, discusses Asian American stereotypes with students in a talk Tuesday evening, specifically the myth that Asian Americans are a “model minority.”

Model Minority myth discussed Asian Pacific American Resource center holds talk MICAH AUGIMERI-LEE Daily Titan Students gathered in University Hall Tuesday evening to attend “Debunking the Model Minority Myth,” a talk hosted by Dear Aunaetitrakul, assistant coordinator of Diversity Initiatives and Resource Centers, that sought to counter stereotypes

of Asian Pacific Islanders. Aunaetitrakul asked the audience words they thought of when they heard the term, “model minority.” Some of the answers included “tiger parents,” “successful,” “mathematics,” “oppression” and “resentment.” The term “model minority” first appeared in a New York Times article by sociologist William Peterson in 1966. The term referred to people of Japanese descent living in America who had adapted to society and became successful. “What this person did was

kind of start the whole notion of Asians being the ‘model minority.’” Aunaetitrakul said. “If Asians can be successful, then anyone can be successful.” Time Magazine further perpetuated the term when they released an issue in August of 1987 displaying six Asian-American children either sitting at school desks, holding books or using a computer, she said. The magazine cover read, “Those Asian-American WHIZ KIDS.” One student at the discussion explained that when he

first heard the term “model minority,” he didn’t see why it was a negative thing. Upon reflection, he said he realized the pressure this put on Asian-American kids to live up to the stereotype, he said. “I think that’s where feelings of oppression and resentment may stem from,” he said. Microaggressions are often unintentional, but can still be offensive. “It’s always important to remember that there is a difference between intent versus impact,” said Maimoua

Xiong, Diversity Initiatives and Resource Center graduate assistant. Xiong said that not everyone intentionally projects stereotypes, “it’s just that there may be a lack of education.” Aunaetitrakul said an example of a microaggression can be as simple as asking somebody, “‘Where are you from?’” The question assumes that the person is foreign and further builds a subtle wall between racial groups. She suggested to instead ask, “What’s your ethnicity?” The goal of breaking down ethnic stereotypes

has to be a conscious effort and the most important thing that anybody can do to attempt to dissolve this wall is to educate themselves, Aunaetitrakul said. She suggested that being well-versed in ethnic studies of any kind will promote cultural understanding among the dominant society; ethnic minorities who study their history will establish a sense of empowerment for themselves. “The more you know, the more you are aware,” she said.

Assault: Timely warning e-mail sent out CONTINUED FROM

“They (victims) don’t want to reach out to us and we totally understand that. We have other avenues on campus,” Willey said, regarding

the CSAs. Under an executive order issued by the Chancellor’s office, victims may request confidentiality and can report the sexual assault incidents to any of the CSAs, professors,

police and other officials on campus. If a victim reports a sexual assault to police, his or her name becomes a matter of public record unless he or she requests confidentiality.

If a victim requests confidentiality, police would not report his or her name to anyone else on campus; however, they would report that a Title IX incident took place to the Title IX Coordinator.

From there, the university is required by the federal Clery Act to report sex offenses in their annual security report, better known as the Clery report. The latest Clery report is slated to be released

on Oct. 1. Willey said that students can report to the CSAs about past Title IX incidents and the university would still have to comply with all Title IX and Clery Act mandates.

Kim performed music from her upcoming album at the TSU Pub. The artist uses her lyrics as a platform to speak out against sex trafficking. The audience was taken with her passion for the subject, which shined through both in the way that her songs were written and the way that she poured her heart into the performance.

Musician combats injustices DANIELLE ORTENZIO Daily Titan Singer-songwriter Hana Kim sent chills through the audience at the Titan Student Union Pub on Thursday, as her powerful lyrics and passionate voice brought awareness to an important global cause. During her time on stage, Kim briefly spoke on the fight against sex trafficking, and the value of beauty and self-worth that social activism can inspire. Kim captivated her audience by debuting a few

songs from her upcoming record, “Veil,” which is set to release in December. “All my songs are a little bit dark,” Kim said between songs. “But I do think there is a real beauty in sad songs.” Kim grew up with a love for music because she was constantly surrounded by it. She had various family members who were immersed in the entertainment industry, so the influence of art was ever-present. Her mother was an actress, her father and grandmother were both singers and her grandfather was a writer and a director. Her aunt was a classical singer who influenced Kim by teaching her piano and

the art of songwriting. In her younger years, Kim grew up playing various musical instruments. She took piano lessons and played the saxophone

“

I’ve never put so much heart and soul into a single project and have invested an incredible amount to making it a new sound for listeners’ ears.

in listening to is a fascinating reality I’m blessed to be apart of.” In addition to her upcoming album, Kim has released two singles, “Heaven Sees Me” and “Almost Famous,” two EP’s, and one full length record, called

“Exodo.” Her music is typically a blend of soul and alternative, but has recently been infused with synthesized pop sounds that Kim said are inspired by her keyboardist ambitions. “Her voice is just so beautiful,” said Lyla Galindo, CSUF art major. “I thought she had a lot of soul,” said Briana Frias, CSUF business major. “Her music was very warm.” Kim writes the lyrics for every song, making her music heartfelt. She usually accompanies her singing with piano, but will occasionally play a guitar or other small instruments such as the melodica and glockenspiel. “I can write a song and

literally arrange it 20 different ways,” Kim said in an email. As for her upcoming record, “Veil,” Kim is excited about it, and she encouraged everyone else to feel excited about it too. “I’ve never put so much heart and soul into a single project and have invested an incredible amount to making it a new sound for listeners’ ears,” Kim said in an email. After Kim releases her album, she will be touring nationwide. She said she hoped to use this prominence to speak out against sex trafficking and to inform others about how they can get involved to join the fight against it.

But these things don’t always spring to mind when one is actually looking for something to do. There’s nothing like scaling the rock wall at the SRC for entertainment and fitness. Novices must take a one-time class on the

fundamentals of climbing for a fee of $25. Experienced climbers can t ake a test exempting them from the class for $10. Afterwards, students have access to the wall for free. The SRC rock wall is open Mondays and Thursdays from 5 to 9 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m., and Tuesdays and Wednesdays from both noon to 3 p.m. and 5 to 9 p.m. There are also special events at the rock wall throughout the semester, such as “Western Wednesday” on Oct. 28, “Black Out!” on Nov. 17, and “Are You A Slacker?!” Night on Dec. 9.

On the Hook is off the hook

New seafood joint serves up secret family recipes JENNIE VU Daily Titan

It can be annoying to arrive at a restaurant during dinner only to find a long line out the front door. The Boiling Crab is a perfect example of this unpleasant phenomenon. Luckily for students who can’t stand the wait, there’s a new restaurant called On the Hook, located on the corner of Imperial Highway and Kraemer Boulevard, next to the Olive Pit. On the Hook is a family-owned restaurant managed by CSUF alumna Lisa Tran. Her family wanted to share their recipes with the world. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes, from Cajun-style shrimp to grilled rib-eye steak. Upon entry, guests are welcomed to the aroma of seafood seasoned with a twist of cajun spices. The concept is similar to the Boiling Crab where everyone wears a bib, food comes in a plastic bag and guests can dump their meal on the table and feast from there. “It is similar,” Tran said. “However, we think we’re a little different because we have more to offer.” Not a big fan of seafood, Tran’s husband worked with the chefs to create recipes for a grilled section of the menu that offered alternatives like rib-eye steak, jambalaya, hot wings and pasta. Upon entering the restaurant, guests are greeted by enthusiastic servers. Customers can opt for indoor dining or seating on the terrace. Each table is adorned with small mason jars filled with string lights, providing a serene dining environment. The atmosphere is very open and welcoming for guests who choose to sit inside. The dark wood floors evoke a nautical theme, similar to a ship’s deck. The modern interior includes flat-screen TVs in every corner of the restaurant, tuned in to various channels. As a mother, Tran wanted a child-friendly environment, so cartoon channels are always tuned into to satisfy the little ones. The restaurant is transparent, with an open kitchen configuration. The bar features a large chalkboard listing specialty drinks, beers, lunch specials and happy hour offers. “All Hooked Up,” is a favorite local dish where

shrimp is served in a plastic bag and generously marinated with Cajun spices, garlic butter and lemon pepper sauces. Another customer favorite is the po’boy sandwich with fries. Customers have the option of filling their sandwich with either chicken, sausage, catfish, shrimp or oysters. It also comes with a zesty special sauce. For the grilled section, a popular choice is the salmon. For dessert, the beignets are the way to go. They are perfectly light and flaky, topped with a generous sprinkling of powdered sugar. They also come a la mode, if desired. On the Hook offers an array of specialty drinks including blueberry and strawberry lemonade, Thai tea and a watermelon spritzer. Many seafood restaurants can be pretty pricey, but On the Hook offers an affordable option for seafood fans on a budget. For example, a customer can get a hefty one-pound bag of shrimp for $12.99. On the Hook is open every day except Tuesday, from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. for dinner. Weekend hours are 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays.

On the Hook offers fresh oysters, shrimp, lobster and crab legs on the daily menu. Although perfect for seafood lovers, the restaurant also serves comfort dishes such as pasta, jambalaya and an array of grilled entrées such as steak and chicken.

Boehner’s resignation not surprising Republicans’ distrust in Boehner spurred his decision to resign JONATHAN MATHIS Daily Titan John Boehner hastily stepped down as Speaker of the House last Friday, making a decision that he believed was in the best interest of the nation. It’s not a surprise, considering Boehner lost the trust of the Republican Party. Though powerful and influential, Boehner fell victim to a disgruntled Republican Party. Over the past few years, his efforts to push for deeper spending cuts and more aggressive policy changes to confront President Obama on top issues failed. Boehner stood out among the Republican dignitaries, not just because he was the third most powerful man in government, but also because he neglected Obamacare, climate change regulations and the president’s executive action on immigration policy. This reflected poorly on his leadership. Boehner, the leader of the Republican Party, was the scapegoat for not overcoming the filibustering Democrats in the U.S. Senate, said Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner. The fact that he is giving up his seat is a significant victory for conservatives who want to change how the federal government is run and funded, according to the SunHerald. During his time in the House, Boehner presented himself as being pretentious and lacking humility during his time as the representative for Republicans.

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

After years of facing opposition from the Republican Party, House Speaker John Boehner has decided to resign at the end of October. This is a move that Americans should have seen coming, considering all the conflict between Boehner and Republican representatives.

Hardline opposition from conservatives spurred Boehner’s decision to resign and surrender his authority at the end of October. Failure to reach a compromise has left Republicans with a long list of priorities, most of which aimed to reject a bevy of the president’s signature policies, such as reviving

the economy by providing affordable health care, strengthening the educational system and building a foundation for clean energy. If Republicans are determined to have any bill get through the Senate, they will need a handful of Democratic votes. The conspicuous fact, which most Republicans

agree with, is that Boehner’s leadership sabotaged the economy and undermined America’s credibility. That’s because the Republican Party came up with an impaired strategy that was meant to deny Obama his second term, which caused far more harm than good, according to the Huffington Post.

Boehner is quitting, not only because he is fatigued with the fight, but because he found himself responsible for a humiliating fight within the party. If Boehner stepped down due to the controversy over Planned Parenthood, it’s not much of a surprise at all. America should have seen this coming a long time

ago. He had been on the hot seat and his credibility was beyond repair. This is why, despite the influence he had on the Republican Party, he’s putting it all behind him. The right time for Mr. Boehner to leave is now, and without much surprise, he did the right thing in surrendering his duties.

US more accepting of LGBTQ community Obama’s nomination of gay service secretary shows progress DANIELLE ORTENZIO Daily Titan America is making noticeable progress in terms of accepting equal rights for gays and lesbians. Eric Fanning, an openly gay military administrator, was nominated by President Obama to become Secretary of the Army. This would make Fanning the first openly gay civilian secretary to do so. In all respects, Fanning is fully qualified to take on the position. The positions he has held in the Department of Defense include serving as undersecretary of the Air Force, deputy undersecretary of the Navy, and deputy chief management officer of the Navy. Fanning has also played key roles in some of the Pentagon’s ship-building and fighter jet programs. He has developed a reputation for his expertise on national security issues for over two decades. Fanning’s qualifications alone prove that he is worthy of the position, regardless of his sexual orientation. This is a big shift in the

Pentagon’s attitude. A mere four years ago, the Pentagon prevented openly gay troops from serving in the military. Since the policy didn’t apply to civilian leaders, the policy did not directly affect Fanning. Thankfully, Obama lifted the ban in 2011. An administration official told the New York Times that Obama’s move shows he wants to keep pushing more openness toward gay men and lesbians in the military. The Obama administration has been working to create a military service with equality, and one that is not based on sexuality or gender, the official said. This nomination is an effort on Obama’s part to highlight acceptance and diversity within the military. Obama has proven his tolerance and acceptance of the LGBTQ community by supporting beneficial changes which allow for them to have equal rights. During Obama’s time in office, he upheld internal policies to allow samesex partners federal benefits, and appointed gay men and women to the executive branch and the federal courts, according to the Washington Post. If Fanning’s nomination is confirmed by the Senate,

he will have a significant workload ahead of him. Along with Gen. Mark Milley, the two will be responsible for handling the Army and its recent challenges, including budget cuts and handling post-war suicides as the current war draws to an end. President Obama’s belief in Fanning has not faltered. “Eric brings many years of proven experience and exceptional leadership to this new role,” Obama said in a statement. Gay rights groups are celebrating the recent nomination, as it is another victory in their fight for equal rights. “History continues to be written and equality marches forward with the nomination of an openly gay man to serve in this significantly important role,” said Ashley Broadway-Mack, the president of the American Military Partner Association, a support organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families, to the New York Times. The military is taking notice that the right man for the job could be straight, but he could also be gay. However, as long as the job is getting done, sexual orientation does not matter.

HOROSCOPE Provided by: Tarot.com ARIES

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)

Controlling your emotions continues to be an uphill battle today as the Moon moves through your sign and forms disquieting aspects with several planets including warrior Mars. Unfortunately, talking about your feelings may stir up even more tension at first because there’s no way to pretend that something is okay when it’s not.

LEO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

You sincerely appreciate the love and support from your friends and family. However, you don’t like it when someone meddles in your business, especially if you are adamant about your current goals.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

A current wave of confidence refuels your freewheeling approach to life, yet you may be jumping the gun and feeling the optimism a few days too soon.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

Someone’s provocative words can quickly escalate a simple discussion into a full-blown argument. You are a tough adversary, especially if you’re defending a personal belief.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

You prefer to have all the details in place, but something can go slightly awry today. Unfortunately, you may be caught off-guard if a friend or coworker leads you down the garden path. Rather than overreacting, practice the art of compassion, instead.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

You’re tempted to pick up and move somewhere else, even if you must re-evaluate the potential difficulties you might face. Whether or not relocation is even a tiny bit feasible now, unrelenting responsibilities increase your desire to escape.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

Your perceptions may be slightly warped today making it wise to consciously delay an important discussion.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

It’s a wonder that people can be so insistent with pushing their personal agendas that they don’t even realize they’re being offensive. On the other hand, you’re overly concerned that someone else may think you’re the one that’s being too aggressive.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Your thoughts are spinning around in circles today, and you simply can’t predict how busy you will be for the next few weeks. But even if you are anticipating what’s next with all systems on standby, you still can’t instantaneously jump forward to where you want to be.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

You’re a force to be reckoned with today, especially if someone tries to play the authority card to gain control over you. At other times you might actually choose to remain quiet and acquiesce to© thewordsearc people’s demands, but now you’re ready to tenaciously fight to maintain your boundaries.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

You may feel as if you’re back into the swing of things now that the Moon is working her way through your 6th House of Routine. Nevertheless, her conjunction with incorrigible Uranus today is anything but a stabilizing influence.

PISCES

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)

Your self-esteem grows stronger day by day, but you may be so confident now that you take on more than you can manage.

Tougher games coming for struggling Titans

Women’s volleyball goes on the road still looking for first win AARON VALDEZ Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team continues its brief road trip to the Bren Events Center Wednesday for their second Big West Conference game of the season. The search for the Titans’ first win is still on, as the team will look to rise victoriously against the UC Irvine Anteaters and improve their conference record to 1-1. The Competition The UC Irvine Anteaters boast a better record than the Titans at 6-8, but enter the match on a two-game losing streak after having fallen to conference rivals Cal State Northridge 3-0 and Long Beach State 3-1. The Anteaters are better in nearly every category, with a .240 hitting percentage, 12.7 kills per set and 12.19 assists per set compared to Fullerton’s .159 hitting percentage, 9.98 kills per set and assist average of 8.89. UCI’s freshman opposite hitter Harlee Kekauoha looks to continue her solid play for the Anteaters. She averaged 3.39 kills for her team last week. She also has a hitting percentage of .339, ranking her sixth in the entire Big West

The Titans have been showing glimmers of offensive chemistry as of late. They look to improve their formula against UC Irvine on the road.

Conference. Coming off a tight game against the UC Riverside Highlanders, which saw the Titans put up a strong effort in a 3-2 loss, CSUF is desperate to earn a much needed win to avoid worsening its overall record of 0-13. As of now, the team boasts a hitting percentage of .159 and averages nearly 10 kills per set, slightly lower than last season’s numbers of .174 and 12.2, respectively. Despite the team’s woes,

multiple players are performing well for the Titans, such as setter Mackenzie Olsen, who formulated her second double-double of the season last game against the Highlanders. She is currently averaging 7.81 assists and leading the team with 367 assists total. Kyra Hill and Summer Kerins have been the primary weapons for the Titans’ offense, accumulating totals of 95 and 91 kills, respectively.

The Titans’ defense has shown signs of improvement, forcing five sets in their loss to the Highlanders. Fullerton managed to set a season-high of 74 total digs with the help of defensive specialist Rachel Brown, who set a career-high of her own with 18 digs. The Titans look to finally come out on top Wednesday as this game will serve as Irvine’s Big West Conference home opener at Bren Events Center.

The Titans had a great opening tournament with solid contributions from both freshmen and upperclassmen. They had not played this well in a tournament since winning the Big West Championship in 2014. The Wyoming University-hosted event will be held at the Southern Dunes Golf Course. The Titans will tee off Saturday at Maricopa, Arizona for the Cowboy Southern Dunes 2-day tournament.
