The Richard Nixon Foundation hosted Gen. Michael Hayden at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum on Tuesday night. Hayden, former director of the National Security Agency and the CIA, presented his new book, “Playing to the Edge: American Intelligence in the Age of Terror.” The book highlights Hayden’s participation in some of the United States’ most challenging security events, including the Cuban Missile Crisis and the 9/11 attacks. Hayden was introduced by Marine Corps Gen. Melvin Spiese (Ret.), a former deputy commander at Camp Pendleton. Spiese described Hayden as an incredible and distinguished public servant and lauded the former general’s overseas service. “Far more than just being a distinguished leader, he has been a prescient voice in our country over this last decade,” Spiese said.

An LAPD report made public Tuesday morning documented that more than a third of the people shot by Los Angeles police in 2015 had documented signs of mental illness, according to the Los Angeles Times. The 300-page-plus report analyzed the department’s use of force through police shootings and less serious incidents over the recent years. According to Commission President Matt Johnson, the report had an “extraordinary level of detail and transparency.” The report, released in the midst of massive public scrutiny of police brutality, particularly against African-Americans, would offer an outlook on police procedure, said LAPD Chief Charlie Beck. “We’re more than willing to look ourselves in the mirror and say, ‘What’s occurring and how can we do better?’” Beck said.

Nixon: Hayden talks war in new book CONTINUED FROM

“Gen. Hayden has predicted everything that we are seeing; he has been an adviser to our country as this has unravelled.” Hayden recounted the Cuban Missile Crisis and the possibility of war. He said he remembered that U.S. and Soviet tanks faced off, cannon to cannon, in downtown Berlin. “I’m old enough to actually see the world more dangerous than the world you live in today. It looks bad,”

Hayden said, “and it’s been worse very recently.” The event, spearheaded by the foundation’s communication director, Joe Lopez, is one in a series of lectures the foundation puts on during the year. Gen. Hayden was one of the top candidates to come and speak at the Nixon Library because topics like politics usually go over well there, Lopez said. “We’ve had authors on sports and science and

other topics, but mostly politics. And then we think about who would do well here, who would bring a crowd … It’s gotta be worth the author’s time to come out here,” Lopez said. The next guest lecturers at the library are Peter Bergen, a CNN national security analyst and Don Cogman, author of “Run Mitch: The Hard Decisions One Man Faced for the 2012 Presidential Election.”

ASI: Resolutions aim for inclusivity CONTINUED FROM

The proposed resolutions also advocated for changes within the Titan Recreation, Titan Athletics and Titan Club Sports policies. Currently, these three policies do not have statements in support of the LGBTQ community, Feher said, and the resolutions address this need for those policies to be changed. Part of the resolution encourages the entities to register with the Campus Pride Index, a free online database that serves as a benchmarking tool for universities to create a more inclusive campus. The database allows prospective students to search for more LGBTQ-friendly campuses, Feher said. The resolution also encourages faculty to take more Title IX Training that includes LGBTQ issues and language. “The Title IX training that is currently mandated by the chancellor’s office doesn’t really include issues specific to the LGBTQ (community),”

Feher said. Since the current training programs lack gender identity training, transgender students become marginalized. The resolution encourages the chancellor’s office to update its training to include these types of issues, Feher said. The resolution will be presented to CSUF administration, Admission and Records, the California State Student Association, the Board of Trustees and Auxiliary Services Corporation in hopes of creating a more inclusive campus. Several students from the LGBTQ community on campus approached the podium to express why the resolution needed to be passed. Destiny Caro, a fourthyear human services major, started the resolution and was the first person to speak on its behalf. Caro said the resolution was something that CSUF “desperately needs.” “The whole reason I brought this resolution was because this semester, I wasn’t allowed to enter the women’s restroom by a

staff member,” Caro said. “Even though I don’t identify as a woman, I use the women’s restroom because it feels safe to me. Also, I was turned down from the men’s restroom … I felt there was no particular restroom provided for me.” Caro said that the LGBTQ issues that exist on campus need to continue to be worked on whether the resolution passes or not. Kelsey Brewer, student trustee on the Cal State Board of Trustees, expressed how the resolution was one of the best-written resolutions by a student she’s seen and spoke in support of it. It’s important to be compassionate about these issues, Brewer said. It’s not enough to be aware, but it’s key to act on them, she said. Feher said she was happy that the resolution passed. “It’s something that a lot of these students have been asking for a long time and haven’t been able to have,” Feher said. “We’re going to make sure the things we asked for get done.”

Sheriffs indicted for prison fight San Francisco Sheriff’s Deputies Eugene Jones and Clifford Chibba and former deputy Scott Neu were charged Tuesday with felonies and misdemeanors for setting inmate fights to gamble on them, according to the OC Register. Neu was allegedly the person in charge of organizing the fights. Chiba and Jones allegedly helped organize the fights and provided the inmates with advice on how to fight better.

The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) department hosted a workshop providing students with mood management skills. CAPS clinical staff member Ladan Maleki, P.h.D., advised students on how to manage emotions during a busy and stressful semester.

Workshop teaches wellness skills Clinical staff member advises students how to manage stress ANDREW SALMI Daily Titan The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) department on campus is offering free workshop sessions for mood management through March. CAPS clinical staff

member Ladan Maleki, Ph.D., advised students Tuesday on how to understand, manage and eventually accept the wide range of emotions that people go through. Having a strong understanding of mood can be a difficult task among students in the midst of a busy semester. “With emotional wellness, it’s about balance. It’s letting yourself feel what you feel and accepting how you feel,” Maleki

said, “because that gives you the best opportunity to actually deal with it constructively, whereas if you just ignore it or you say, ‘I shouldn’t feel that way,’ then you’re kind of left with nothing.” For students consistently struggling with managing their stress and anxiety levels, maintaining a healthy relationship between their body and mind is pertinent to their well being. “It’s also kind of difficult

for the mind to be really anxious if we’re feeling physically relaxed,” she said. “So we say that an anxious mind can’t really exist in a relaxed body.” Maleki taught students acronyms, which were provided in a worksheet created by TherapistAid.com, to help them when they are experiencing stress: P.L.E.A.S.E. PL: Treat physical illness

E: Eat healthy A: Avoid mood S: Sleep well

E: Exercise and S.T.O.P.P S: STOPP! T: Take a breath O: Observe P: Pull back P: Practice what works It’s important to step back and analyze situations in terms of how they make you feel, Maleki said. “Your body and mind are closely linked, and the health of one directly affects the other,” Maleki said. “An unhealthy body will make it difficult to

manage your emotions.” CAPS is currently running a three-part student wellness workshop series throughout March. The workshops are designed to enhance student well-being while teaching students how to manage stress, anxiety and emotions. The next workshop on March 2 at 1 p.m. explores how stress impacts students with Jill Kapil, Ph.D., in the TSU ASI Presidents’ Room.

A&E Museum opening focuses on California art

Hilbert Museum art captures evolution of California history MEGAN SMITH Daily Titan The Hilbert Museum displayed the incredible talents of 20th-century Californian artists during its second-day grand opening Saturday, capturing a glimpse of California’s history. Approximately 700 Southern California residents attended the fully catered event, which featured a live jazz band to set the mood. The Hilbert Museum is the first museum completely dedicated to artists that capture California’s beauty and history with industrial scenes and coastal views. Founders Mark and Janet Hilbert donated $7 million-worth of art. “The intent is to spotlight this style of painting and these amazing artists and to make this art known around the world,” Janet Hilbert said. The Hilberts began their love of California art with one watercolor piece purchased in 1992 in Palm Springs, California. That piece began their extensive collection of over 1,000 oil paintings, lithographs, sketches and watercolors. But Mark Helberg primarily collects watercolors, said his assistant, Shelly Johnson. In the early 1900s, California had a unique group

of people and with that, a unique group of artists. These paintings capture the essence of everyday life of early Californians, from rural living to early industrial Los Angeles. The National Academy in New York City exhibited the award-winning piece “Back from the Ride,” by Emil Kosa Jr. “This (piece) shows his mastery of light … It perfectly captures the afternoon light and shadows,” said Mary Platt, director of media relations at Chapman University. “Bunker Hill,” a piece by Preston Blair, represented early Los Angeles before the city became full of high rises. “You can kind of see the cartoon influence of the little cars that are kind of curvy,” Platt said. One outstanding piece that captured many spectators’ eyes was a painting done by Lee Blair. He painted his wife, Mary Blair, looking over Palos Verdes Beach with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop. The detailed image gave viewers insight to California’s weather as Mary Blair was portrayed in a skirt and short-sleeve shirt. With a closer look at the image, viewers can see a lighthouse in the distance. The Blairs both worked for the Walt Disney Company, where Mary Blair went on to design rides at Disneyland. “‘Mary By the Beach’ is incredible work,” said Jim Doti, president of Chapman University. “This

represents two California artists who were on a picnic overlooking Palos Verdes Beach. He painted it of his wife … I love looking at all the objects and how he painted those,” Doti said. Another crowd favorite was “San Dimas Train Station,” by Millard Sheets. The piece is noteworthy for casting the early 1900s in differential lighting, with wire towers and a lone

man in a top hat sitting on a bench reading a newspaper, waiting for his train to arrive. The painting illustrates a solemn, quiet morning. Sheets would ride the train from Pomona to Los Angeles, sketching what he observed. Doti said he favored Sheets’ work. “I think my favorite is ‘San Dimas Station’ by Miller Sheets, who was

one of the leading artists of California representation,” Doti said. He liked the two figures and the way the light shines on the figures in peace, creating a feeling of loneliness. Johnson said her favorite oil piece was by an artist named Swift. “It’s of the jazz clubs in the ‘40s,” she said. “It’s amazing. The whole painting sways. You can just tell there is music

playing.” This museum serves as a reminder of the journey and evolution from sleepy Southern California to the vibrant, multicultural landscape it is today. “Once you see this (gallery), you leave with a breath of fresh air, saying, ‘What is this? What did I just see?’ Your eyes become more sensitized to what you just saw,” said Robert Escalante, longtime friend of Mark Hilbert.

Over 400 guests joined together in TSU’s ABC Pavilion on Saturday night and salsa danced to a wide variety of music genres, including performances by Boogaloo Assassins and DJ Jimmy.

Diversity steps into full swing with Latin soul CSUF Salsa Club invites Boogaloo Assassins to perform AARON VALDEZ Daily Titan Students and music lovers alike gathered at the Titan Student Union’s ABC Pavilion on Saturday night to experience an “evening of pure magic” hosted by the CSUF Salsa Club. The sold-out event ran for nearly five hours and featured a fundamental salsa dance lesson taught by sixth-year CSUF Salsa Club instructor Kazumi DeVries. The event featured a live band performance from Boogaloo Assassins and music by DJ Jimmy. Guests were also provided with complimentary refreshments from event sponsor Jarritos. Boogaloo Assassins, a 12-member Latin band from Los Angeles, looks FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

to reinterpret the exuberant sounds and culture of Latin boogaloo, Latin soul and Latin funk in today’s era. The band garnered much success from its 2013 debut album, “Old Love Dies Hard,” and currently has a second album in the works, which is sure to liven up any dance floor. The preparation for Saturday night’s event was a fourmonth long process and required a major helping hand from one of the club’s vendors, Reflejo Dance Company, in order to book a performance from Boogaloo Assassins. With 400 in attendance, guests of all skill levels and age groups flooded the Pavilion’s newly upgraded floor as they danced the night away to a wide variety of music genres including salsa, bachata and Latin soul. Throughout the evening, a rotation of Boogaloo Assassins and DJ Jimmy did an excellent job of keeping dancers

entertained with their Latin flare and catchy beats. CSUF Salsa Club President Joshua Mendoza, who plans to graduate from CSUF this semester with a master’s degree in information systems and decisions sciences, revived and co-founded the club back in 2010 along with DeVries. Mendoza’s appreciation for salsa stems from the dance’s vibrancy and ability to bring people together. “It (salsa) really brings out your confidence, and it’s a social dance, so you get to meet a lot of people,” Mendoza said. “It’s just a really all-around fun social activity.” Without being fluent in Spanish, DeVries discovered her passion for salsa music and dancing as a student at Irvine Valley College and Cal State Long Beach. She attended weekly classes that helped her relieve the stress of being as a student. “I went back to school to get a degree and I was taking 23 units,” DeVries said. “I needed

something to let my stress out and salsa was there.” At the end of the night, not only was Mendoza proud to say that the turnout exceeded all expectations, but he said he also understood the positive impact an event like this can have on students and community members. “Our events really reflect the student body. It’s so diverse, just like Cal State Fullerton, and you just see everyone from all walks of life dancing with each other on a Saturday night, something you may never see anywhere else on campus or in Fullerton,” Mendoza said. Mendoza hopes the CSUF Salsa Club, which currently has over 150 members, continues to grow and prosper even after he graduates at the end of the semester. The club’s next event will be its 5th Annual CSUF Salsa Showcase, which lands March 26 and will begin at 8 p.m. in the Titan Student Union’s ABC Pavilion. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/AE

A&E Lecture: Guest speaker inspires art students

“We usually focus it around production, and then bring people who fill different roles in production to talk to the students,” Chuck Grieb said. Students enrolled in the Master Class series are required to create their own short films. This is a two-semester program for students to learn specialty skills of all kinds. The lecture on Tuesday featured Jocelyn Sepulveda, character designer from Nick Jr.’s preschool show, “Shimmer and Shine.” The cartoon revolves around two

young genies who spend their time adventuring in a magical world. The villain of the show, Zeta, is entirely the original work of Sepulveda. Sepulveda spoke with art students about her experience working in the industry and shared a few pieces of her own work. Students were able to hear about Sepulveda’s job opportunity with Nick, what her job entails as a character designer and her creative process. She talked to students about her academic background, along with the type of assignments she receives at Nickelodeon.

Sepulveda highlighted four characteristics she believes every artist needs if they want to become a character designer: versatility, draftsmanship, proficiency and speed, and imagination and heart. She explained the importance of these traits when working in such a fast-paced and creative field. With anywhere from five to 15 drawings required from her a day, Sepulveda said that being able to be flexible and versatile, especially under a time limit, is vital. Sepulveda is one of many Nickelodeon members who

visit CSUF to speak with art students. “This monthly lecture series exposes the students to the different roles artists fill in the television production at Nickelodeon and how to make a show,” Chuck Grieb said. “This is all stuff that they (students) need to learn, and they’re learning it from the people who do it.” After realizing that they were hiring and interning with students from CSUF over any other state school, Nickelodeon decided to reach out and work with the art program, Chuck Grieb said. “Their current head of

production there, Russell Hicks, actually attended Cal State Fullerton as an illustration student,” he said. Farnaz Esnaashari-Charmatz, creator of “Shimmer and Shine,” is also a CSUF alumnus. These connections with Nickelodeon create opportunities to have guest speakers visit and interact with students. Students have also received the opportunity to work on Nickelodeon’s Tests, which are assignments that Nickelodeon gives art designers and character designers to determine if they qualify for a job on

Nickelodeon’s team. Students were able to receive feedback and criticisms from professional artists. This relationship with Nickelodeon benefits both the students and the company, who can seek out potential employees. “We just recently had a student get a job at Nickelodeon,” said Wendy Grieb, CSUF art professor. It’s encouraging for students to see their peers landing jobs and starting their careers, she said. “They kind of look up to their classmates. It’s like, ‘If they can do it, I want to try,’” said Wendy Grieb.

OPINION Google could boost voter turnout

PAGE 6 MARCH 2, 2016 WEDNESDAY

The company’s new patent has potential to improve elections AMBER MASON Daily Titan In an age where people buy clothes, pay bills and catch up with friends online, it makes sense for voting to have a bigger presence on the web. With a newly acquired patent from Google, the technology could soon be available. The patent, acquired Feb. 16, combines a voting user interface with search results. This allows users to vote directly from search pages that provide relevant information about what they are voting on. Essentially, everything people need to inform themselves about their choices and then cast their vote will be localized and accessible from home or work. While the photos in the patent application illustrate how the program could be used to vote in game shows, it could very well be used for political elections, according to Google’s patent. The idea of voting online is not new. Canada has implemented some form of an online voting system in 80 cities and towns, according to a CNN report. An independent study by digital strategy firm Delivina confirmed that voting in Markham, Ontario increased nearly 300 percent

in the first year it offered online voting. The United States has extremely low voter turnout in comparison with other countries. According to the Pew Research Center, the United States ranks “31st among the 34 countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, most of whose members are highly developed, democratic states.” In hopes of increasing voter turnout similar to Canada, the United States should embrace this new technology immediately. Allowing voters to cast votes online could eliminate the unnecessary and time-consuming process of counting votes. Election results would be calculated faster and there would be fewer costs associated with elections if voting were done online, said Anthony Fellow, chair of CSUF Department of Communications. Counting votes is a tedious process that leaves much room for error. After polling booths close, voting boxes are sealed and sent to separate counting facilities with certified observers from both parties present to ensure fairness and accuracy. Paper ballots are read individually, while punchcard ballots are manually run through machines. Information could be immediately and easily calculated by casting votes online, saving time and labor. Online voting would be

Google’s latest patent has tremendous potential to increase the number of voters who could participate in an election by providing a simpler alternative to casting their ballots.

easy to use and convenient. It offers alternative methods for individuals who are either physically unable to travel to voting locations or are simply too busy. It would especially help disabled or bedridden Americans because of its convenience, Fellow said. Young voters are most likely to say they are too busy to vote. According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement,

“33.5 percent of young voters who were registered said their schedules conflicted with their ability to vote in 2010.” By offering the possibility to vote online, young people could vote from their phones or laptops, wherever their busy schedules have taken them. Critics of online voting say the risk of voter fraud and the vulnerability to hacking or viruses is too great to move elections online.

However, in Estonia, where voters have been able to vote online since 2007, election officials had the same concerns. But they established measures to ensure that results are accurate and free of fraud so results are not called into question. The government requires a nationial ID card that can be used remotely, and Estonia’s voting system is designed to recognize unusual activity.

Instituting a similar system, like coupling a card reader with a program designed to detect fraudulent activity, could mitigate concerns about of online voting while reaping the reward of increased voter turnout. In order to increase voter turnout and make the election process more efficient, local, state and federal governments should embrace Google’s new technology for elections in the future.

Not all of Trump’s supporters are racist Sentiment to the GOP condidate’s followers is misguided CODY GION Daily Titan Donald Trump’s platform has recently been resonating with white supremacists, wrongly blanketing the rest of his supporters with an unwanted label. The 69-year-old Republican frontrunner recently gained support from a less-than-desirable organization, the White Nationalist Political Party (WNPP). William Daniel Johnson, chairman of the WNPP, established the American National Super PAC with the intent to support the billionaire candidate. The support from the white supremacy group has unfairly branded other Trump supporters as fellow white supremacists, and this is because of the way Trump runs his campaign: reviving outdated politics, favoring the

white majority over non-white citizens. The main issue that first sparked the interest of the white supremacists was his immigration policy. Trump’s stance on illegal immigration includes making Mexico pay for a revamped wall to reinforce the United States’ southern border, improving and enforcing stricter laws and increasing security for the citizens. His position aligns with the beliefs of white supremacists. With Trump supporting similar policies that white supremacists seem to advocate, Johnson and his supporters have jumped onto the Trump bandwagon. To further support the Trump campaign in Iowa, the super PAC enlisted Jared Taylor, creator of the New Century Foundation, a white supremacist think tank, to voice the robocall campaign, an initiative to call voters on behalf of the Trump campaign en masse. The automated voice message from Taylor said, “(Trump) is the one candidate

who points out that we should accept immigrants who are good for America. We don’t need Muslims. We need smart, well-educated white people who will assimilate to our culture. Vote Trump.” During a CNN interview, Trump responded to the robocall incident, saying, “I would disavow that, but I will tell you people are extremely angry.” Trump implies he has no affiliation with the PAC, would not have approved of it and does not want to be involved with the white supremacists since it would only bring him a massive decline in popularity. White supremacists are known to harbor racist ideals, basically supporting white superiority over non-white groups. To think that all Trump supporters are white supremacists is ignorant; not everyone supporting Trump is white. According to an Economist/ YouGov Poll, there is strong support from a wide spectrum of people who would prefer Trump to be the Republican

nominee. In that same poll, 31 percent of whites, 12 percent of blacks, 11 percent of Hispanics and 21 percent who classify as “other” would like to see the billionaire as the Republican representative. Analysis suggests that

Trump holds a nominal lead among the Republican respondents who are Hispanic, according to Civis Analytics. Trump’s stances may express a similar interest with those in the white supremacy groups, but it should not

create false labels for the rest of his supporters. Although there are white supremacists who support Trump, it does not mean that all of his supporters are in favor of the same unjustified ideology.

You might not be able to avoid the tricky waters you are sailing through today. Although a complex relationship situation is still developing, it’s obvious that you need to separate out the big ideas floating around so you can dive into a specific problem.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

You are an expert at maintaining an even-keeled approach to a stressful situation at work. However, you’re fearful of hitting rocks that you cannot see today. It’s nearly impossible to tell if you are paddling into the deeper waters now or if it’s shallow.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You are not scared of complications; in fact, you like the challenge of difficult mental puzzles and complex mechanical concepts. However, you’re not as interested in entangled emotional issues.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

A romantic encounter is favored if you’re willing to demonstrate your vulnerability by honestly asking for what you want. You might be pleased with the response you receive when you reveal the wishes of your heart.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

There’s no reason to struggle for understanding now; it’s just your insecurities rising to the surface. Simply observe what’s happening around you without taking everything so personally; no one can fault your intentions if your heart is in the right place.

PISCES

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)

You are highly sensitized and can pick up every single ripple in the wide-open seas of consciousness today. Unfortunately, it’s an impossible task to decide what to do with all of the perceptions swirling in your head. Take a step back and take a break. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

Cal State Fullerton junior guard Samantha Logan logged in a double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds in the Titans’ 66-53 win over the UC Irvine Anteaters two weekends ago. The Titans and Anteaters are currently tied for last place in the Big West Conference standings with records of 1-13.

Women’s basketball to finish conference with pair of games SEAN KELLEY Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team looks to rebound from a tough loss to the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine with home and away games this week against conference rivals Cal State Northridge and UC

Riverside. CSUF (3-25 overall, 1-13 Big West) will first host the CSUN Matadors (622 overall, 4-10 Big West) Thursday night. The Matadors prevailed 79-52 in their previous meeting with the Titans back in January. Freshman center Channon Fluker led the way for Northridge, logging in a game-high 21 points and 14 rebounds, while the Matadors’ bench outscored the Titans’ reserves by 15 points. For the Titans, junior

center Dhanyel Johnson recorded 15 points and 11 rebounds and freshman guard Michelle Berry grabbed eight defensive rebounds to go along with 13 points. Fullerton’s season finale at UC Riverside will take place Saturday evening. The Highlanders (217 overall, 14-0 Big West), fresh off an 81-77 victory over the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine, will play at UC Irvine before their season finale against the Titans. The previous matchup

between CSUF and UC Riverside was a lopsided affair. The Highlanders handed the Titans their worst defeat of the season with a score of 90-43. The Highlanders, 10-1 at home, are led by guard Brittany Crain who is the reigning Big West Player of the Year. Crain torched the Titans for 39 points in February as she converted 15 of 26 shots, including seven of 10 from behind the arc. Crain, the nation’s 12th leading scorer with 21.7 points a game, has helped

propel the Highlanders to the top of the Big West Conference standings. UCR is looking to finish undefeated in conference play, the first team since UC Santa Barbara went 16-0 in the 2001-2002 season. The few brightspots for Fullerton in the blowout loss against the Highlanders were Berry, who nearly notched a double-double with nine points and nine rebounds, and freshman guard Lauren Nubla, who chipped in 10 points. CSUF’s struggles this

season come mostly from the team’s lack of offensive prowess as it ranks last in the Big West with dismal averages of 55.6 points per game, 62.2 percent shooting from the charity stripe and 10.5 assists per game. The Titans will hope to finish their season on a high note as they square off against the CSUN Matadors Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Titan Gym and then head out to UC Riverside for a tough contest against the Highlanders Saturday at 5 p.m. at the SRC arena.

Fullerton to defend undefeated Big West record Women’s tennis to battle with the University of Hawaii VICTOR GALLEGOS Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team will look to continue its record-breaking start to the season as it hosts the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine this Thursday. The Titans welcome their Big West foes with a vastly different and superior team to the one that suffered a 4-3 loss to Hawaii last season. With a plethora of outstanding freshman providing much-needed depth to the squad, the Titans currently sit at 8-1 overall and 2-0 in conference. CSUF’s sixth consecutive win is the best in team history as the 2-0 start in conference play has already

equaled its Big West win total from last year, when it finished 2-6. Going into Thursday’s match, the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds have an overall record of 12-6 in singles. The No. 3 through No. 6 seeds have also been a tear, boasting a combined overall record of 26-10. Fullerton will hope to exploit a weakness as Hawaii’s combined record from their No. 3 through No. 6 seeds is a mere 17-20. In particular, the No. 3 and No. 5 seeds for Fullerton have dominated, as they have compiled a 16-2 record in singles this season, which has greatly helped Fullerton’s cause. Freshmen Sarah Nuno enters with a six-match winning streak, while freshman Masako Makiba is not too far off with a four-match winning run of her own. Junior Alexis Valenzuela, sophomore

Danielle Pham and junior Camille De Leon are riding twomatch winning streaks. The Rainbow Wahine will pose a formidable threat to the Titans. Hawaii was ranked No. 64 nationally in the ITA rankings entering its last match against Oregon, but ultimately fell by a score of 4-3 to the Ducks. However, the Rainbow Wahine still carry a respectable overall record of 6-5, along with a 2-1 record in the Big West. For CSUF to continue its winning ways, one of the keys to the match will be winning the all-important doubles match point. The Titans are 8-0 when winning the doubles point. Along with defending home court, the Titans will look to continue their dream start to the season as they face off against the University of Hawaii on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. at the Titan Tennis Courts.
