Women’s soccer makes history with win streak

Multiple thefts at arts center No signs of break-ins were found in rooms CLAYTON WONG Daily Titan

RENZY REYES / DAILY TITAN

Christina Burkenroad welcomes her teammates’ celebrations after scoring the game-winning golden goal off a penalty. The CSUF women’s soccer team remains one of the nation’s last few teams with no ties or losses on their record.

The Titans start season on a sixwin stretch AARON VALDEZ Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton Women’s soccer team earned its best season start in the program’s history after snagging a couple of victories over the weekend, all the while remaining

undefeated. The first game featured CSUF against Florida Gulf Coast University and the second against University of Nevada Las Vegas. The Titans managed to leave victorious from two thrillers that came down to the wire. Vs. FGCU With both teams coming into the game undefeated, the Titans were not only ready to extend their win streak to five, but also

hand the Eagles their first loss. It was a tale of two halves during regulation play as the Titans were off to a dream start, but they faltered down the stretch, allowing FGCU to tie the game at 3-3. As soon as the game commenced, both teams worked diligently, implementing their styles of play to control the game. Despite the power struggle, it was the Titans who managed to draw

first blood early in the sixth minute. While dribbling down the left wing, midfielder Sarah Fajnor crossed the ball into the box, finding forward Ivy Diego for the header. Diego’s goal opened the gates for CSUF, empowering the Titans to put the game beyond the Eagles’ reach. With a total of seven corner kicks in the game, CSUF’s aggression on each attempt gave the Eagles a plethora of defensive

problems. The Titans relentlessly denied the Eagles’ attempts to clear the ball from trouble. The Titans extended the lead to 3-0 with corner kick goals from forward Rebecca Wilson and defender Morgan Batcheller. Wilson’s goal came in the 21st minute when she volleyed a poorly-cleared ball through a crowd of players from the penalty mark. SEE SPORTS

Almost $1,000-worth of electronics were reported stolen from the Clayes Performing Arts Center Tuesday, Sept. 1 after dance professor William Lett discovered personal property was missing from his office. The value of Lett’s items total $975, said University Police captain Scot Willey. Under section 487 of the California Penal Code, grand theft is committed when the money, or personal property taken is of a value exceeding $950. There was no sign of forced entry, Willey said. “This leads us to believe that someone has the key” to Lett’s office, said Willey. Lett discovered his medical kit was missing while preparing for a class involving aerial work. Along with medical supplies, the kit contained a Logitech boombox, two iPods, an infrared charger cradle with three remotes, an iPod cradle remote and two charging (USB) cables which Lett used to teach his classes.

His fingers rest on his neck as he feels his pulse pounding nervously. “I (can’t) believe it’s real,” said president of Sigma Upsilon Mu and physics major Phillipe Rodriguez. Rodriguez, 21, could have graduated a year ago, but he stayed at Cal State Fullerton to help found and build the first chapter of SUM, which started last year. “We started out from humble beginnings,” Rodriguez said. Rodriguez and seven other founding members held meetings at Jay’s Coffee Waffles & More to plan out everything that goes into starting a fraternity. “We have so many

memories there,” Lorenzo Santos, SUM Director of Membership and a founding member of the fraternity, said. Last Saturday, the business fraternity added to that list of memories by putting on its first major event: the 8-Hour Business Challenge. Twenty CSUF students showed up at 8 a.m. ready to compete. Those with preformed teams were able to retain those teams. Those without a team were assigned to one. By 9 a.m., five teams were formed: Team Icebreaker, Team Venture, Team K2M2, Team Quest and Team 3C. The teams began their challenge. With four to five members in each team, students had to come up with an original business idea, produce a 60-second “elevator pitch,” create a video advertisement and give a five-minute verbal pitch all in the span of eight hours. Some teams came up with their business idea quickly,

Theft: Police think suspect has a key CONTINUED FROM

“They’re personal items that I use to teach. They’re not university items or state property,” Lett said. “So it’s my loss; the university’s not going to cover that.” The theft made it difficult to prepare and teach classes, Lett said. Without appropriate music, Lett resorted to using Pandora on his phone until he was given an old iPod donated by a student. However, the classes still ran into difficulties. The iPod battery did not last after his first three-hour class without a charger, Lett said. Lett’s office was the most target recent in a string of thefts that occurred in the Clayes Performing Arts Center. One theft was reported Monday, Aug. 24; in that case, an Apple trackpad, valued at $69, was stolen. Another theft was reported Monday, Aug. 31; that theft involved a stolen Macbook, a GoPro camera and Apple

earbuds, the items are valued at $1,593.57, Willey said. All thefts showed no sign of forced entry.

FOR THE RECORD

Professor William Lett’s office, which was broken into on Sept. 1, showed no signs of forced entry. University Police think the suspect may have a key to open various doors at the arts center.

WILLIAM LETT Dance Professor “Because they happened very closely together in the same area under the same circumstances, sure that would leave you to believe that they may be connected,” Willey said. “Since then, faculty are now taking backpacks to class and purses and wallets to class when we thought all we needed to do was take our dance clothes and a sweat towel and our class roster,” Lett said. The Clayes Performing Arts Center is not patrolled by University Police as often as Lett would like. CSUF’s open campus makes patrolling and

succession of thefts at the Clayes Performing Arts Center forces police to focus on the area. “We are stepping up,” Willey said. “When we start seeing patterns like this, obviously, we’re real good about directing our enforcement in areas where there’s a concern.” But the lack of forced entry signs during the break-ins has left Lett concerned. “It’s just one of those things that you buck up and you suck up and you just say, ‘I expected more from my Titan family,’” Lett said.

For the Record Correction: The Daily Titan regrets publishing a story that said the Academic Senate may have violated the Brown Act by not posting meeting agendas online. Upon further reporting, the Daily Titan learned that CSU Academic Senates are not local governmental

agencies legally obligated to adhere to the Brown Act. The Daily Titan apologizes to the Academic Senate and to the CSUF students and faculty. The Daily Titan strives to produce accurate, timely and fair stories and we fell short of our own standards with this story.

President Obama signed an executive order Monday requiring that federal contractors provide up to seven days of paid sick leave a year for employees, according to Reuters. The executive order stipulates that federal workers will earn at least one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. The new policy measure will benefit 300,000 workers, according to the White House. The order must first go through a public commenting period, so it will only apply to new federal contracts starting in 2017. The order comes as Obama is also pressing Congress to pass a law giving government employees six additional weeks of paid parental leave. Speaking at the Greater Boston Labor Council Labor Day Breakfast, Obama also said more worker-friendly policies, such as paid maternity leave, are needed. - Rudy Chinchilla

CSUF student robbed A CSUF student was robbed Sunday at around midnight while walking on the north side of Nutwood Avenue near Titan Drive, according to a University Police notice. The suspect was described by the victim as an Asian male, approximately 19 to 20 years old and 5-foot, 6-inches tall. The suspect was wearing a black t-shirt, white shorts and had a black pony tail with the sides of his head shaved. The victim noticed the suspect staring at him from across the street. The suspect ran towards the victim, attempting to punch him. The victim was not struck, but the suspect demanded the victim’s cell phone. The suspect then ran south to the area of Hope University with the cell phone, according to the police notice. Any witnesses are urged to call CSUF University Police at 657-278-2515. -Spencer Custodio

Study gives new drought insight BOBBIE URTEZ Daily Titan Matthew Kirby, a geology professor at CSUF, and his students recently published a four-year study aimed at gaining insight into California’s drought conditions in the journal Quarternary Science Reviews. Kirby’s study took him and his students to the Mojave Desert to get samples of dirt and mud. Kirby tried to discover when and how often lakes appeared in the Mojave Desert. In analyzing these patterns, paleoclimatologists,

like Kirby, can better understand climate change in the present and future. He and his students collected sediment samples by repeatedly “pounding a piece of pipe” into the ground and pulling 25foot samples to study. As if the labor was not difficult enough, temperatures in the deserts reached highs of 115 degrees, Kirby said. Kirby’s team also shed light on the connection between warm weather conditions in the Pacific Ocean and how the conditions have affected winters in Southern California over the past 15,000 years. Kirby said he and his team are able to tell the weather conditions of a certain time period by the type of dirt or mud collected and by

looking at the transition sizes of the sediment.

“

It’s hard to compare things today to the past in some degree, because humans started to mess with the planet system.

15,000 years of climate data collected during four-year Mojave study

MATTHEW KIRBY Geology Professor “Over (the past) 15,000 years, when it’s warmer, it’s wetter,” Kirby said. “Our research supports this idea that the Pacific is the dominant control on wetness or dryness here in Southern California. It’s not groundbreaking. People know this. What’s cool about this study is that it

goes back 15,000 years.” When the Pacific Ocean is warmer, the winter season may be rain-heavy in Southern California, and that is known as El Niño, Kirby said. “1997 was the Super El Niño,” said Kirby. “1997 to 1998 was the largest recorded El Niño at the time.” Though El Niño is not guaranteed to occur this year, Kirby said he would not be surprised if it did. “However, this year is shaping to potentially be the largest El Niño in recorded history since we started taking measurements in the past 100 to 150 years,” Kirby said. Though the current drought in California may seem exceptionally severe compared to other droughts, there is no

Simulation to give insight on poverty JESSICA BUTALLA Daily Titan The CSUF School of Nursing will, for the first time, host a life-like, Monopoly-style poverty simulation exercise to better understand the realities of poverty. Participants will be divided into different “families” of various incomes, said Maria Matza, a Community Health Resource faculty member. Surrounding the families will be

community services such as banks, grocers, schools, pawnbrokers, social service agencies, a jail and more. “The main objective of it is to increase awareness about the complexities of living in day-today poverty,” Goodman said. “There’s a multitude of problems that we can’t even begin to think of.” Each family will receive a packet containing varying amounts of money as well as different family scenarios, such a single mother or senior couples on fixed incomes, School of Nursing tutor Jane Goodman said.

group’s scenario. “We want (our students) to feel the panic,” Matza said. “A lot has to do with people that are under constant, constant stress. How their cortisone levels are constantly up, causing a lot of health issues.” “Many students at CSUF are in this themselves ... they’re living their own personal lives in poverty,” Goodman said. “The bottom line is to make everyone aware of what it’s like to live in poverty.” For future semesters, the CSUF Community Health faculty wants student participation in this exercise on the first day of class as an introduction to the

semester, like the University of Texas does it, Matza said. “They’ll be able to use this simulation throughout the whole semester and bring it back home each time,” she said. “It is something we felt we should bring to our students because we wanted to create an empathy with vulnerable populations, homeless, immigrants,” Matza said. “Anyone who is meeting some challenges — economic challenges, emotional, educational challenges in life.” The poverty simulation will take place this Saturday, in TSU Pavilions A, B and C.

FEATURES Challenge: New fraternity holds first competition CONTINUED FROM

“They’re all young and eager with a lot of good ideas,” Gaubmann said. “That’s all you can really hope for the future.” After the nerve-wracking presentations, and some unfortunate technical difficulties, the room filled with anticipation as the teams waited for the results. Three inspirational YouTube videos and 40 minutes later, the results were in. Business ideas ranged from an app to buy and sell textbooks to an app where anyone can pitch business ideas to investors and business professionals. The judges spent longer than expected to decide the winners. “We had a little bit of a decision to make on second and third place,” Gaubmann said. “We were teetering back and forth.” Yet first place was a clear pick for all the judges, Gaubmann said. Team Venture won the night with their idea of a service that will give management at any company an online platform to give employee feedback. Brian Burgess, 22-year-old accounting and human resources major, gave Team Venture’s five-minute pitch. Burgess worked at a restaurant and for a year, he had no idea he was given a raise. That lack of communication within the workplace inspired Team Venture’s business idea. In addition to any winnings, all participants were given gift bags worth $80. SUM raised $2,550 in giveaway donations from sponsors such as Amazon and the Brea Improv.

SUM hosted the event as a form of publicity for their relatively new fraternity, Rodriguez said. “We wanted to get the word out about who we are, what we do, and the value we can provide for people,” Rodriguez said. SUM has 11 active members and five alumni, but Rodriguez hopes with events like the 8-Hour Challenge and upcoming workshops, that number will increase. “We don’t host meetings, we host workshops. The difference is totally huge,” Santos, an advertising major, said. “What we focus on is doing.” Rodriguez was happy with Saturday’s turnout and plans to host the 8-Hour Challenge once a semester. “This was a prototype,” Rodriguez said. “This was just a test to see if people would be willing to participate in this challenge. Now that we’ve proven it, it’s going to be bigger and better next semester.”

Kim Davis not exempt from federal law

Jailed county clerk should put her job before her religion GABE ESIRITU Daily Titan Love might have won on June 26 in the long-awaited Supreme Court decision regarding gay marriage equality, but Rowan County clerk Kim Davis made sure it lost in Kentucky on June 27. Davis, a self-described Apostolic Christian, believes that same-sex marriage is “a sin under God,” and has therefore stopped issuing all marriage licenses since June, “the day after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide,” according to the Associated Press. Far be it from Davis to disobey Romans 1:26, which essentially refers to God punishing men who “committed shameful acts with other men.” However, she has no right to disobey the highest court in the country either.

Davis argues that she must only follow “God’s holy word” when it comes to gay marriages. “If I say they are authorized, I’m saying I agree with it, and I can’t,” Davis said. U.S. District Judge David Bunning did not agree with Davis, ordering her to grant the marriage licenses, and ultimately throwing her in jail last Thursday when she didn’t change her mind. Davis was given the option of being released if she does not interfere with her deputy clerks issuing marriage licenses. But, to no surprise, Davis refused. It’s understandable why Davis sees herself as having a moral duty to deny gay marriage. It’s a belief that Christians have stood by for centuries. The greatest anomaly is that actions taken to fight gay marriage greatly contradict the very essence of Christianity, which is to love and accept all people. Furthermore, Davis still has a job to uphold in the county, especially since the state can’t fire someone like Davis easily.

To be a county clerk one must be elected first, just as Davis was, quite easily in 2014, by a 53 percent vote, according to NPR. What good is it to have an elected official whose sole purpose is to serve the people when the people aren’t her first priority? At the end of the day, Davis isn’t doing the job that she gets paid $80,000 a year to do. As Jeff “Woody” Fife, host of the Los Angeles morning radio show, “The Woody Show,” has aptly stated, “God doesn’t sign her checks.” And, according to Bunning, “If you give people the opportunity to choose which orders they follow, that’s what potentially causes problems.” Even Donald Trump, billionaire mogul and one of the top-running Republican presidential candidates, agrees. In a phone interview for MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Trump mentions that he doesn’t like seeing Davis imprisoned for her decisions, but that legalizing gay marriage is now “the law of the land.”

NATALIE GOLDSEIN / DAILY TITAN

Rowan County, KY, Clerk Kim Davis sparked controversy when she refused to issue a same-sex couple a marriage license.

For now, Davis will remain in prison, currently asking an appellate court to force Governor Steve Beshear to

allow her to refuse to issue marriage licenses to samesex couples because of her religious beliefs, according

to Newsweek. Just don’t count on her being welcomed into sainthood just yet.

CA death penalty ban an issue of financing Improper funding is to blame for death penaly controversy BOBBIE URTEZ Daily Titan Last year, U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney ruled the death penalty in California unconstitutional, resulting on a temporary ban on capital punishment. His decision is up for review by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and, if

turned back to the California Supreme court, another four years of waiting for a decision is to come. Michael Laurence, a lawyer defending the ban, and Carney alleged that the death penalty is unconstitutional because of the length of time a prisoner must wait before being put to death. The average amount of time a prisoner spends on death row in California is 25 years because the judicial branch, among others, is underfunded. It only received 1.4 percent of the state’s budget

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/OPINION

for the 2015-2016 year. Of this small sliver of budget, the Court of Appeals gets 6.2 percent, according to the California State Budget. The way to go about fixing the process for the death penalty is to talk about funding. If California could reallocate some funds from other sections of the budget, even if the budget was only to make an even 2 percent, it would help quite a bit. A botched lethal injection occurred in 2006, causing the state to reevaluate the method

of death. In 2007, it was decided in Morales v. Tilton that lethal injection was an issue because of “inconsistent and unreliable screening of execution team members; a lack of meaningful training, supervision and oversight of the execution team; inconsistent and unreliable record keeping; ... and inadequate lighting, overcrowded conditions and poorly designed facilities in which the execution team must work.” Executions are carried out through the Department of

Corrections and Rehabilitations, which is receiving 8.7 percent of State General Funding for the 2015-2016 year, according to the California State Budget. What this department needs is more appropriate funding to make up for the shortcomings of 2006. California has not executed anyone on death row since 2006 because of the botched execution, which adds to the controversy surrounding the death penalty being considered a cruel and unusual punishment.

Methods of death include lethal injection, gas chamber, hanging, firing squad or the electric chair. From the perspective of a prisoner, all methods have their benefits and disadvantages. Saying the death penalty is unconstitutional because specific areas of government are underfunded does not make sense. The state just has to figure out how it can get better facilities, better funding for lawyers and training for technicians scheduled to supervise executions.

HOROSCOPE ARIES

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)

The engagements in your social calendar are likely stacking up to the point of absurdity, Aries. Make sure you schedule some time for yourself somewhere in there. Today you’re choosy about your companions.

LEO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

This is a good time to get more serious about your art, Leo. You were probably born with talent, but perhaps you don’t treat it with as much respect as someone endowed with only a fraction of your natural ability. Look at your tools realistically.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

It’s time to step up to the plate and take responsibility for the things you want to have happen, Sagittarius. It’s one thing to talk about great visions and dreams, but the bottom line is that they’ll continue to remain abstract concepts, not tangible.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

Just because your heart is feeling extra generous now doesn’t mean that you need to send flowers to everyone you know, Taurus. On a day like this you should channel all your incredible love and affection to one special person. Help him or her feel like an important part of your life.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

Don’t assume that the person you’re trying to reach is getting your messages, Virgo. Perhaps you’ve been waiting for a reply, thinking that this person has blown you off. Maybe this person doesn’t understand the question you’re trying to ask.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

The warm, loving feeling that you’ve been happily nurturing is calling for a bit of practicality in order to make your romantic life work out the way you want it to. Remember that less is more, Capricorn.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

You may be confused by your heart, Gemini. It may be extremely frustrating when you can’t keep a tight rein on your emotions. This internal conflict is a signal that there’s a lesson to learn. Perhaps your heart knows something that your conscious mind hasn’t yet realized.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

You feel reprimanded because of the way you reacted to a situation that came out differently than you’d hoped. Trust that you acted in the best, calmest, and most understanding way possible.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You might feel a bit reserved when it comes to issues of love and romance, Aquarius. Other people might consider this rather strange when they see that suddenly your courageous forward motion comes to a dramatic halt.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

Your mind gives you a great deal of security, Cancer, which allows you to explore other worlds. You have your satellite outpost operating smoothly, and you can now take trips into the frontier knowing that you have a secure facility to fall back on.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Something unusual could put a smile on your face today, Scorpio. Look for beauty and love in the simplest things. If you can’t see it, then work on adjusting your attitude. Your inner state is likely what needs to be fixed, not the world around you.

PISCES

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)

Things are apt to remain quite orderly for you, Pisces. Even though your heart may want to soar into the clouds, you’ll find that there’s a stable side to the equation that’s working to keep things in perspective. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

Women’s Soccer: Six-win streak makes history CONTINUED FROM

Batcheller’s goal was a well-placed tap-in after teammate Tatiana Rizzotti headed the ball down into open space right in front of the net, giving Batcheller the open shot. The second half seemed like a different ball game as FGCU began to show that their 3-0-1 record was no fluke. The Titans did not come out with the same intensity as they gave up three goals to the Eagles, tying the game in the 88th minute. Heading into a golden goal over time, the Titans regained focus, attacking from all angles like they did during the first half. In the 108th minute, CSUF drew a penalty after Wilson broke free, but was eventually brought down by an FGCU defender. Luckily, forward Christina Burkenroad stepped up to calmly bury the penalty past the keeper, securing the 4-3 win for the Titans. Head Coach Demian Brown admitted his team needed to improve their defence to better preserve the lead. “I think in that Friday night game we made a really big mistake. We shut off,” Brown said. “We can’t do that in a Division I game regardless of what the lead is, and I think for us to come through that game learning that lesson is a good thing for us going forward.”

Vs. UNLV The next game saw the Titans up against a gritty UNLV team on a bright Sunday afternoon. CSUF was able to edge out its opponents by only one goal, but the game itself was nothing short of sensational. Each team came out swinging as the momentum of the game seesawed between the two sides. The Titans had a whopping total of 17 shots on the afternoon, including six shots that drew iron. CSUF’s chances at the goal were created almost exclusively by UNLV turnovers. The Titans would end up breaking the deadlock in the 81st minute. It was the lethal combination of Burkenroad and Wilson linking up in the attacking third that gave Wilson the open shot and goal. It was a sigh of relief for Fullerton as this 1-0 victory kept their win streak alive. The Titans now sit with a 6-0 record, which is the best start in program history since the creation in 1992. Brown spoke positively when asked if the chemistry amongst the group could be a factor to their stellar play. “The group as a whole is a very close and tight-knit unit and so I think there is a lot of that that factors in,” Brown said. “The idea that they are all going out to play for each other.”

and short passes were the game plan, as well as capitalizing on mistakes from the opposition. An opportunity came in the 10th minute as GWU’s goalkeeper Jack Lopez gave up a small rebound to CSUF midfielder Diego Sanchez.

It put the Titans in situations that bring a team together: holding a strong lead and enduring comeback win. After the game against GWU, Head Coach George Kuntz said he wanted to change the lineup to promote offense by moving players where they could be most effective. “From a personnel standpoint, we decided to play the guys that have garnered the most shots and created the most opportunities,” Kuntz said. During the weekend, the Titans scored more goals than the previous four games they played combined. The Titans will looks to continue the scoring streak next Sunday at home against San Francisco at 2 p.m. in Titan Stadium.
