The Alvarado Room at the Titan Student Union was close to capacity Friday afternoon during the “We Are Not Human Capital” open forum held by We!, a group of students dedicated to the “re-humanization of institutions of higher learning.” In the wake of budget cuts, class reductions and faculty furloughs, this group of students is targeting a deeper problem: “The transformation of the university from an institution of critical engagement into a place of business in which students are viewed as customers and the university as the provider, and the only good degree being one which translates to a lucrative career.” See CAPITAL, Page 2

The Cal State Fullerton Titans came back to win the third game of the series against UC Davis on Sunday at Anderson Family Field, but were swept by the Aggies in a doubleheader on Saturday during the second annual “Power in Pink” Day. “Power in Pink” Day helps promote and educate people on breast cancer awareness. “This is really important because there are so many lives that get affected by breast cancer,” said Titan Head Coach Michelle Gromacki. “I know some of our alumni have survived, this year a dear friend of mine who has been close with the program who has been diagnosed is throw-
ing out the first pitch, one of my players mom’s just got diagnosed so it all comes back around.” Both teams wore pink and white jerseys during Saturday’s games, a silent auction was held at the top of the stadium, shirts were for sale and all proceeds raised went to breast cancer research. The Titans suffered Saturday, losing the first game 5-2 and the second 7-4. “We need to give ourselves opportunities to win,” Gromacki said. “Our pitchers can’t hit people and can’t walk people. When you take away some of that, we have a better chance of winning, it’s disappointing.” The third game of the series took place Sunday and it didn’t take long for the Titans to get on the board first. It was junior center fielder Torrie Anderson whose base hit allowed senior second baseman Sheila Holguin
to score from second base and allowed the runner on first, freshman left fielder Ashley Carter, to get to third base. After Anderson’s one-run base hit, freshman shortstop Gabby Aragon stepped up to the plate. Aragon drilled one to right-center that fell only a few feet short from the fence, yet still managed to take a high bounce over the outfield fence. UC Davis’ sophomore right fielder Kylie Fan tried to make the catch, but failed to get there before the bounce. She raised both arms to signal that it bounced and that it was a ground-rule double yet Aragon rounded second, took third and came across home. The call was that Aragon hit a home run and that it had not bounced over the fence from the outfield. See SOFTBALL, Page 6

The Downtown Fullerton Plaza was astir with people and music as crowds gathered to participate in the 2010 Vi Jones Fullerton Area “Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty” Hunger Walk. The CROP Hunger Walk is a fundraising event in which people pledge money to sponsor individuals who walk 2.5 miles around downtown Fullerton. Twenty-five percent of the funds go to the Fullerton Interfaith Emergency Service, while the remaining 75 percent is given to the Church World Service, who distributes the funds locally, nationally, and internationally.

Stereotypes were challenged April 24 during the Islam 360 event held by the Muslim Student Association in the Titan Student Union. “We wanted to teach people about this religion from every aspect: 360 degrees,” said Rached El-Hajjaoui, the 24-year-old president of MSA and senior biology and accounting major. “We wanted to give people the opportunity to ask questions, and the only way they could ask any of those questions is if this (event) was presented in a way that gives an overall perspective of what (Islam) is about.” A welcoming video titled “What do CSUF students know about Muslims?” displayed the various perceptions and misconceptions that students have about Islam, especially the meaning of the word jihad. “If you look at the media nowadays, it’s kind of biased and it’s not representative of the full truth of Islam,” said Muhammad Abu-Qurah, 25, senior accounting major and account representative for MSA. “We just want people to be aware of how peaceful our religion is. We’re hoping that we send a message to everyone that Islam is a religion of peace.” The event consisted of three key speakers Suhaib Webb, Megan Wyatt and Yusuf Estes. All three speakers are converts to Islam. Webb, a former deejay and gang member, spoke on Islamic youth and their responsibility to the Muslim community. Wyatt, a convert at the age

of 19, who is now a personal development coach, spoke on Muslim’s take on love and marriage sans dating while Estes, a former Christian preacher, addressed the universality of Islam itself. Kiran Hayat, an 18-year-old freshman psychology major, was excited to learn more about her faith and hear what perspectives the speakers could provide. She hoped that attending non-Muslims would be educated as well. “(Islam 360) gives us a better understanding of the religion as a whole,” Hayat said. “There are so many stereotypes and it’s not right to say wrong information about Islam. I just hope that if students go to more of these events, they can find out more about what Islam really is and be less judgmental about it.” Every speaker was direct in the presentation of his or her perspective on Islam. Responses to terrorism and assertions of education as the answer reiterated the Islamic law of speaking only the truth. Stereotypes were addressed and broken down as audience members gradually contributed questions that were written on note cards given to the speakers. “The main thing we would like to do and hope to see much more of all around is simple education about what
this religion stands for,” El-Hajjaoui said. “In no shape, way or form is this an attempt to convert. Within our religion, we are taught that anything done by force is a form of hypocrisy. People have the mind and have the time to think about whatever they want to believe in. They just don’t realize that because of what the media has done to Islam.” Ashlyn Wittington, a 19-year-old freshman graphic design major, believes students should be more aware of cultural events like Islam 360. As a non-Muslim attending without expectations except the perception that Islam is a “very private religion,” she heeded that “there’s millions of cultures around us and if you don’t know about them, then you can’t accept them.”

Six killed in Minnesota in head-on collision MINNEAPOLIS – A fiery head-on crash early Sunday, west of Cambridge, Minn., killed four young people in a car that smelled of alcohol and also left dead two occupants in a charred SUV, the State Patrol said. The car’s driver, a 16-year-old girl who got her license less than three weeks ago, was hospitalized in serious condition at Hennepin County (Minn.) Medical Center, the Patrol said. Capt. Matt Langer of the Minnesota State Patrol said Sunday afternoon the girl could face criminal charges. While the patrol declined to release her name, citing her age, the car’s driver was identified by a relative as Sabrina Schumacher.

Hundreds walk for cystic fibrosis cure in Redlands REDLANDS – Families of children with cystic fibrosis often face an isolated battle, but Saturday they did not have to fight it alone. About 25 families, 400 people in all, effected by the disease walked in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Great Strides fundraiser at Sylvan Park, the first time the event was held in Redlands. “Events like this mean so much to families,” said William Garcia of Yucaipa, whose daughter Emma, 6, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis about two months after birth. The disease causes chronic and debilitating lung infections that can lead to premature death. The Garcias and about 50 family members and friends formed team “Emma’s Angels.” William sent an e-mail to raise support, and his employer, the Southern California Gas Company, matched $50 for every $25 employee donation. Organizers expected to raise $65,000 to $70,000 for cystic fibrosis research, according to Helen Johnson, executive director of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Southern California Chapter.

MEXICO CITY – Spanish matador Jose Tomas, one of the world’s most famous and dramatic bullfighters, was severely gored by a halfton bull in a Mexican arena and is in critical condition, doctors said Sunday. Tomas is expected to survive after undergoing more than three hours of emergency surgery overnight following his injury Saturday afternoon. “There has been slight improvement but he’s still in grave condition,” Dr. Geronimo Aguayo said in a statement released by the hospital where Tomas is being treated in the central Mexican city of Aguascalientes. The bull, named Navegante, gored Tomas in the groin and lifted him in the air before a horrified crowd during a corrida at the Monumental bullring in Aguascalientes. The attack left a six-inch-long gash in Tomas’ left thigh, severing the artery. He lost a large amount of blood.
The Cal State Fullerton Entertainment and Tourism Club will hold an alumni panel event on April 27 at 5 p.m. in the Titan Theatre, followed by an end of the semester mixer, at 7 p.m. in the Titan Student Union Pavilion. “The speakers are professionals in the industry, from event planners to recording studio representatives,” said Cody Zinkan, the club’s fundraiser and outing coordinator. The panel will have a variety of speakers like hotel managers, a Paramount representative, an Angel Stadium representative and professionals from the music industry. The event is free for all students. A wide range of entertainment professionals will speak about their experiences and the steps they took to get in the industry. Students will have a chance to ask questions and receive feedback from the panel. Most guest speakers are CSUF alumni. Following the speakers will be a mixer event. The mixer is an upscale event that brings professionals and students together for the purpose of obtaining information for their field
of concentration. Presale tickets are $15 per student and $20 at the door. A two-drink ticket will be given to attendees and the club will be serving alcohol, said club President Taylor Somera. Club Vice President Emily Logan, said that attendees will have an opportunity to network at the mixer, which is intended for outside professionals to recruit CSUF students. Students will get the opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation with professionals from areas of particular interest. “It’s a good way to get to know people,” Logan added. Fifty professionals are estimated to attend the mixer. “We expect about 40 or more students to go,” Logan said. “I am not really looking for a job,” Zinkan said, who will be attending the mixer to get a feel for the industry. Zinkan said that he might need the information for the future, or better yet meet someone that can help him in his career down the road. The club has approximately 100 CSUF student members. Its main focus it to get all members involved in the industry.
CAPITAL: FORUM held From Page 1
“The first thing (we) need is to discuss the issues before we actually go on and move toward action to counter the social mandate that’s put against the university, students, the faculty in the entire country,” said Chirag Bhakta, 22-year-old senioir history major and student organizer for We! The forum was based on three documents, including the Strategic Planning Summary, which includes a discussion on Cal State Fullerton’s effectiveness and efficiency. “A lot of people on campus, a lot of professors even, they don’t know about the (Strategic Planning Summary) document,” Bhakta added. “So they come here to learn and they can discuss these things and talk about it and then take some kind of action. Learn, discuss, then counter.” A large concern is the devaluing of intellectual development that is seen in the loss of humanities, social sciences and fine arts courses and programs while professional majors, like business, are promoted, according to a response letter written by We! The letter also expresses frustration with the representation of students in the “Strategic Planning Summary” as consumers, clients, products or human capital. “I feel like universities shouldn’t go toward trade schools and that they shouldn’t be mainly for providing student’s avenues for economic gain in their future,” Bhakta said. “What we need universities to do is to provide students with an ample arsenal to be
engaged citizens, to be able to question things (and) to be able to be critical thinkers no matter what field they go into.” The forum was divided into two sections. The first included presentations of perspectives that focused on the meaning and future of the university and summaries of the three documents. “I came here to be informed,” said Ernest Guadron, a fourth-year communications major. The 22-year-old forum attendee was surprised by the turnout, and found his views agreed with many of his peers. “I wanted to get a different perspective. I wanted to know what they thought and leave the room feeling like I learned something. Not to change my opinions, but to get a different view of the world.” The second half was an open discussion of the audiences’ comments, ideas and questions. Hands were raised to offer opinions and rebukes in evaluation of the documents or the views of their peers. The audience represented a wide range of supporters from students to faculty, over a spectrum of ages, majors and occupations. “I think it’s amazing to see that there is a reaction; that (the forum) caused a reaction,” said Daniel Penilla, student organizer for We! and 26-year-old fourth-year sociology major. “I think it’s great to see, it makes me feel confident in what’s happening, to stand up and say we do care about what’s going on on-campus and about ourselves and about the future of our education and the future of our college.”

Conference inspires leaders By Charles Purnell

tion had the answer to the problem of shrinking audiences and revenues? “I don’t think there is any one organization I can think of that really has the answer,” Butler said. “But there are a lot of interesting things happening. And I think the recession means that in the past 18 months so many people were just trying to get the cash to pay loans and their staff and I think now people are really starting to do new things and try things. “So, I think we are about to enter a very interesting phase in that regard,” Butler said. New Mexico State University Professor Peter Dorfman, who has been a co-principle investigator of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavioral Effectiveness Research Project, opened up the next discussion, “Leadership Across Cultural and National Boundaries,” on how leadership styles are effective and ineffective across cultures and regions. The G.L.O.B.E Research Project is a study of 62 societies and how leadership is executed in those societies. Dorfman said the ideal that people generally have about leadership is to influence, motivate and enable others to contribute to the success of the organization. Jon P. Howell, professor emeritus of management at New Mexico State University, lectured second and brought the second panel discussion to an end.
Howell presented his findings from extensive research in leadership and followership, substitutes for leadership and leadership across cultures. “Communications is critical in the flow of ideas and knowledge, improving coordination of work, in problem solving and in team performance,” Howell said. Angela Angels, 28, a graduate student majoring in communications studies, heard about the dialogic process in Matz’s class the day before the conference. “I think there was a lot of useful information regarding leadership style,” Angels said. “And I think it’s all applicable. If you’re a student here and you take what you’ve learned in a classroom apply what the presenters are teaching, I think it will be very useful.” Students also found the third panel discussion useful. Csoka and Jeffrey L. Fannin, executive director of the Center for Cognitive Enhancement, talked about brainwave mapping and how it could be used to help executives and leaders develop skills that will help their performance. Csoka and Fannin had lectured in 25-year-old Josh Wilbur’s class the day before the conference. “I think it is really interesting to see the future of neurological leadership,” Wilbur said. “How they can track that (brainwaves) and use that to help train future leaders and kind of see the ideal. I think it’s really, really fascinating to be honest.”

Gerontology faculty research team promotes online health software By Melissa Hoon
Daily Titan Asst. Opinion Editor news@dailytitan.com
Imagine you were injured out of state and needed to be seen by a doctor. How would the doctor know your health background if your charts are with your doctor at home? Echo Chang, a Cal State Fullerton gerontology professor, is the head of a research project that will promote the use of the HealthVault, a free online software program that keeps track of your up-to-date health records. According to Chang, the software could be a vital tool for the elderly, primarily because it can help detect diseases before they become acute or chronic. Chang and her research team (composed of CSUF faculty, including Engineering Professor Sang June Oh, Psychology Professor Laura Zettel-Watson and Gerontology and Sociology Professor Karen Wong) received the Beverly Miller Grant, which allows the project – appropriately titled the Beverly Miller University Assistive Technology User Research Project – to be researched on a larger scale. The project is the first of California Assistive Technology Laboratory, a new program and initiative adopted by the university to establish a collaborative research, teaching and product development center for assistive technology (devices used to help those with disabilities). According to Chang, the project will address two needs: the need for portable, personal health records and the need to better manage chronic diseases. To do this, members of the research team will participate in a training program where they will conduct feedback from elderly with chronic conditions who use HealthVault. The research team

will determine how the elderly perceive this technology, how it impacts their health and whether or not they encounter barriers when using the HealthVault. “There are so many things (our research team) can do to make an impact on people’s lives,” Chang said. “In short term, assistive technology can help people optimize their functions, broaden their social connection and enhance their life quality. In long term, it can help one to age the best as one can be, delay disability, avoid institutionalization and prevent premature death.”
the opportunity to work with many talented and passionate colleagues across different colleges, and (will help) assistive technology (continue) to get attention from government and private sectors.” According to CSUF faculty, the project will also bring recognition to the school. “The project will create a unique niche at Cal State Fullerton. Cal State Fullerton can become a leader in addressing successful aging issues from a multidisciplinary perspective,” said Joseph Weber, department chair of gerontology. “This perspective will also create links and cooperative networks with community social service agencies, – Echo Chang businesses and corporations.” gerontology professor Chang completed her Ph.D. at University of Doctors aren’t the only ones who Southern California in 2008, and can update health records on Health- discovered through research conVault. ducted for her dissertation that the Patients can update their charts by caregiver pool is shrinking. using a USB cord to upload their vitals, “Thirty percent of baby boomers weight and other statistics that they can will have no spouse or adult child determine using proper external devic- as their caregiver when they are in es in the comfort of their own homes. need.

Experts cultivated leadership skills in students at a leadership conference entitled “Leading in Times of Scarcity” on April 23, in Steven G. Mihaylo Hall. The conference supported the growing trend of imbuing leadership in students. Leadership may even be offered as a minor soon, said Associate Dean of the College of Communications and Director of the conference, Irene Matz. Matz currently teaches a class on leadership for human communications and encouraged her students to attend. During a question and answer forum at the conference, the founder and president of Apex Performance, Louis S. Csoka, said leadership should not be just a minor. “It ought to be a major,” Csoka said. “It ought to be a key focus of an MBA program because that is what we are supposed to be putting out, people who are leaders.” The first panel discussion started at 9 a.m. in front of an audience that filled the room to capacity. Print Media Leadership in a Competitive Age featured four media executives: Rich Archbold, executive editor of the Long Beach Press Telegram; Ken Brusic, senior vice-president of content for the Orange County Register; Kate Lee Butler, vice-president of newspaper markets for the Associated Press and Maria De Varenne, editor and vice-president of news at the Press-Enterprise Co. The executives talked about leadership and the challenge of print media in a competitive age of technology. Brusic described the media industry as a burning platform because the industry has lost 44 percent of its revenue in the past four years. Revenue for the print media industry peeked in 2005, generating $49.4 billion, Brusic said. In 2009, the industry brought in $27.6 billion. “It’s a huge loss,” Brusic said. “We need to rethink the whole business model.” A member of the audience, thinking about the print media business model, asked Butler which organiza-
Crop: Downtown fullerton walks for hunger awarness From Page 1
“Our main goal is raising awareness,” said Tom Goellrich, Pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church and Chair of the 2010 Vi Jones Fullerton area CROP Hunger Walk. “If you were to take all the people in the United States who are hungry and who don't know where their next meal is going to come from and you lined them up starting in New York, that line would go from the East Coast to the West Coast three times. That's just in our country, and we're supposed to be first world, so imagine in third world how many people don't have food or know where their next meal is going to come from.” Church World Service, an organization that supports interfaith hunger education and fundraising events, sponsors CROP. Funds are shared with food banks, pantries and community gardens across the world. FIES, the recipient of the com-
munity portion of the fundraiser, provides emergency food assistance and support services to the hungry.This year’s CROP Hunger Walk was dedicated to the late Vi Jones who passed away last August. Jones was a prominent member of the Fullerton community and had always been in tune with the problems of the hungry, Goellrich said. “(Jones) was involved in a number of organizations and recognized the problems of world hunger,” said Henry Jones, husband of Vi Jones and a FIES advisory board member. “(She) participated in the walk for 28 years and this (would have been) the 29th. She always walked in the CROP walk.” With a registration estimate of close to 400 people, reaching the event’s goal of raising $100,000 isn’t too far fetched, Goellrich said. “Everyone that you see here is a representative of a whole network of people who sponsored them. So
even when you have 400 or 500 people walking, it’s an even larger community once you look at all the people who sponsored them,” Suzanne Dysard, top online fundraiser in the country and organizer of the Boulder, Colorado CROP Hunger Walk. “With the online thing, now people can sponsor people from all over the country. It’s really a chance for people all over to help people around the community and those around the world.” The event was a family affair, with participants from all ages and denominations, from Christianity to Judaism, each group holding signs that declared their organization, association or purpose. “Hopefully (participants) see that every one person can make a difference,” Goellrich said. “Whether it’s walking or whether it’s volunteering in other ways, know that they are making a contribution to those without food. It’s that awareness factor and then the dollars.”

canteens fitted with filters that can reduce water and energy expenditure. When people purchase these products, half of those proceeds come back to the campus so that organizations like the FAM can implement more energy saving methods for students, Delosreyes said. Catie Beckman, senior psychology major and member of the advocacy committee, said that most people are not aware of just how many harmful gases and just how much trash is produced over a period of time. Beckman said she joined the committee because she felt she should educate people. “I have been an environmentalist for a really long time. I like to go hiking, backpacking and camping, and I decided that I needed to put some action behind my talking about the environment,” Beckman said. Beckman said that things like turning the lights off when leaving a room, carpooling, walking to school if someone lives close by and using canteens instead of plastic water bottles are some of the little steps students can take to help the environment. “I would really like students to learn something about the environment that they did not know before, that will hopefully make them think and even better; change their behavior,” Beckman said.

Hey Titans! Last Monday was quite an adventure and this week is no exception. I went to the trendy, entertaining and electrifying Santa Ana! Yes, I did say Santa Ana. Despite what most people think of it, Santa Ana is pretty radical. It’s one of the largest cities in Orange County. and has a lot to offer. You can spend a fabulous day at the Santa Ana Zoo and go healthy at the Gypsy Den in The Lab AntiMall. There I found an affordable shopping option down the street from one of the most expensive malls in the country, South Coast Plaza. Who knew Santa Ana was

Gospel event teaches faith By allie moiser
Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com
Divine Servants, a Cal State Fullerton Christian club, held a Gospel Conference entitled “Resisting the Storm, Don’t Bend with the Wind” at the Titan Student Theatre on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The conference consisted of various performances, including praise dances, spoken word, gospel choirs and four workshops. The keynote speaker was Elder Dennis McCray from Greater Fountain of Life Church of God in Christ, whose message to attendees was to bring your best effort to everything you do. Chauntel Riser, president and founder of Divine Servants, said the theme for the conference was to address the concerns that college students may have when dealing with their spiritual walk with God. “We were trying to reach college students and find out what they’re dealing with and help them find a solution to those struggles,” Riser said. The conference began with a welcome from the Divine Servants followed by a prayer from Elder Artel Cato from New Direction Community Greater Fountain of Life Church of God in Christ.

After the prayer, attendees were treated to several performances, finished off by an offering. A workshop titled “Leading by Example Amidst the Storm,” led by Cato, taught students to give thanks and appreciate what they have even when things aren’t going well. Cato told attendees that whenever they’re going through a storm, they have to understand what’s going on in the background. “If you focus on the negative, it’s going to discourage you,” Cato said. “Realize that you will come out stronger in the end.” Another workshop entitled “Balancing Your Time with Your Spiritual Journey Amidst the Storm,” led by Pastor Frank Jackson from Christ Our Redeemer, taught attendees the importance of time management. Jackson said that bad time management leads to consequences. “The decision we make is the direction that we take,” Jackson said. “One bad decision will interrupt your journey.” Jackson said that in order to move forward with your journey, you need to be honest with yourself and cut things out that are eating up your time. Jackson used his own life example to show attendees the importance of
prioritizing. Jackson said that when he was in college, he got caught up in his new-found freedom and it affected his grades. “The difference between college and high school is that you are now responsible for your own self,” Jackson said. “Know what you want to do in life because it affects your journey.” Jackson reminded students that no matter the struggles they go through or the debt they get into while getting through school, they can always overcome it. “Your journey might be delayed, but you will get through,” Jackson said. “It just takes discipline.” After the workshops, attendees were led back to the Titan Theatre, where awards were given to Divine Servants members, recognizing their hard work and service to the club. An a capella choir, called Adoration, performed two songs. Their last song was energetic and got some audiences members standing and clapping along. Riser said the overall goal for the event was to have people learn about God and find a spiritual connection. “I know that some people are looking for God, so this is my way of saying here he is, you can come to him,” Riser said.

MyKey drives teens toward safety
Kids These Days
By lauren McCann
“Observing teen culture so you don’t have to”
Daily Titan Staff Writer opinion@dailytitan.com
While driving, people face many obstacles, whether it be traffic, objects in the road, drivers on cell phones or erratic aggressive drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, car accidents are the leading cause of death for drivers ages 16 to 20. Twelve percent of all fatal car crashes involve teenagers. Building upon previous technological car systems, Ford Motor Company has created Ford MyKey in hopes of bringing down that number. MyKey is a configured key that is programmed by parents through the vehicle message center. The car operates solely based upon the parameter limits the parent sets. When the MyKey is used, the car reads the chip’s code and sets the car to the configured mode. This feature will become standard on the 2010 Ford Focus models this summer and will be available for many other Ford models. “We’ve upgraded an existing, proven technology – the SecuriLock passive anti-theft system – with some simple software upgrades to develop a new unique feature that we believe will resonate with customers,” said Jim Buczkowski, director of Electrical and Electronic Systems Engineering. Andrew Sarkisian, Ford safety manager, came up with the invention after his teenager was in an accident. “We wanted to find a way for parents to virtually be in the car with their teens, like they’re sitting in the passenger seat coaching them along,” he said. MyKey’s features include: A capped speed of 80 mph, a limited audio volume to 44 percent of the radio’s total capacity, a regular interval chime reminding the driver and passenger to buckle up or else to radio will be muted and an early lowfuel warning at 75 miles to empty. The potential that MyKey has to decrease the number of teen-related

accidents is crucial for teen safety and their future. Taken from Media.ford.com, Danisha Williams, a 16-year-old high school student from Detroit, said she’s against the idea. “I wouldn’t want my parents to have that much control over how I’m driving,” Williams said. “If your parents are holding your hand, you’re never going to learn.” Today teenagers are evolving into young adults earlier than they have been in the past, or at least that’s what they think. The only way for teenagers to learn is from guidance. Teens’ common sense is underdeveloped. They need their hand to be held, whether they like it or not. Somehow teen death tolls related to car accidents need to be reduced drastically. Whether it be parents directly controlling their children’s driving privileges, state law creating more driving laws, or car manufacturers setting driving standards. Williams, along with most teenagers, may feel that parents can only push, prod and poke so much, until they have reached their limit. However, when it comes to safe driving, it seems that teenagers haven’t been doing so good on their own. Teenagers need to be told what to do, because sometimes they just don’t know any better. Who wouldn’t want their parent’s daily wisdom?
It seems that all teenagers would rather learn the rules of the road by experiencing the harsh consequences for themselves. It is not until a friend gets into a car accident, possibly resulting in death, when the eyes of a naïve teen driver will open. Can’t teens just humble themselves and learn to respect the boundaries that parents set on them, for their own good? Yes, it can be aggravating to have a parent nag constantly, but the Ford MyKey is just the opposite. Parents aren’t in the car, instead the car is all your own. It is an operable car that abides by all the safety standards. Tickets in general have become a thing of the past. To start off, the chance of getting a speeding ticket decreases substantially as a result of the set speed limit. There isn’t anymore obnoxious music to lure in the cops for a noise violation. Lastly, to point out the safety chime that reminds passengers to buckle up doubles as a ticket reducer and a life saver. Teenagers who are against MyKey are just plain stubborn. I mean hello, it’s a car. It’s a ton of metal you’re controlling. I am also going to guess that if a teen is getting a 2010 Ford Focus, with the MyKey feature, it is likely a gift. So be appreciative, stop with the stubborn attitude and thank your parents for caring enough about you to want you to be safe.
Few shows have bigger balls than “South Park.” No subject is too sensitive to the show’s creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and there are few celebrities, religions or lobbies that have hidden from the wide scope of their tasteless joke cannon. Guess what? Someone was offended again. Who cares, right? We’re talking about a show that depicted Mickey Mouse as a child-abusing-corporatefear monger, Jesus as a porn addict and all Catholic priests as child molesters. Well, Comedy Central decided that Stone and Parker went a little too far this time with an episode featuring the prophet Mohammed in a bear costume. The episode was severely censored, with even the prophet’s name shrouded by bleeps. Long time “South Park” fans might be scratching their heads in disbelief right about now, remembering a time, not long ago, when Mohammed appeared in an episode censor-bar free. That’s right; Mohammed came and went without so much as a media flutter in a bit part as a member of the “Super Best Friends” back in 2001. So, why all the higgledy-piggledy now? Muslim extremists, that’s why. RevolutionMuslim.com put out a sort-of threat against the creators of Mr. Hanky, warning that if they were to continue, they might end up like Theo Van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker murdered for his documentary about Muslim women.
Photo Courtesy of Flickr.com/ensceptico Trey Parker (left) and Matt Stone (right), are the masterminds behind “South Park” and the controversy it creates.
Now, I’m not going to spend the rest of this space angrily pointing out how ridiculous death threats against Stone and Parker are. It’s pretty much a given that these extremists are exactly that – extremists. These are the same people who justified the acts of the terrorists on 9/11, and really do believe that the most offensive thing “South Park” has ever done is depict Mohammed in the back of a U-Haul. I’m mad about something much worse – the liberties Comedy Central took with their bleep machine. Throughout the episode, I could almost see an executive in a monkey suit break into a sweat every time Mohammed’s name was spoken, feverishly reaching for the big red bleep button under a blanket of fear. Stone and Parker have never been afraid to say what they meant, especially when the backlash is obvious and soul-crushing. They say what the rest of us are thinking, and I’ve
always relied on “South Park” for that. “In the 14 years we’ve been doing ‘South Park’ we have never done a show that we couldn’t stand behind,” the comedy duo said in a recent statement. I believe that. Comedy Central really dropped the ball on this one. By bleeping and censoring the bejeezus out of Episode 201, Comedy Central made Stone and Parker hypocrites. They even wiped Kyle’s final message at the end, obliterating the entire point of the two-part episode. How ironic is it that the speech was supposed to be about intimidation and fear? A statement was made, and that statement was robbed of all impact, bending to the will of an extremist fringe group. Thanks to the shaking boots of Comedy Central executives, there’s a good chance I’ll never get to see Tom Cruise with Sea Man on his back again.

Titan baseball sweeps the Mustangs By Brian whitehead
Daily Titan Staff Writer sports@dailytitan.com
In the game of baseball, there’s no greater luxury than having a No. 9 hitter who can drive in runs. That being said, it should come as no surprise the Cal State Fullerton Titans have exactly that in the form of a 5-foot-6-inch freshman third baseman named Richie Pedroza. In his sixth start of the season, Pedroza went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored as the Titans successfully completed a three-game sweep of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, with a 9-2 win Sunday afternoon at Goodwin Field. “We felt we needed something to energize this team, and Richie hasn’t disappointed us yet,” said Titan Head Coach Dave Serrano. “He brings a ton of energy to the table and plays the game of baseball at the right speed. I’m very proud of the way Richie is playing and I hope he keeps it up. It adds another dimension as our lineup flips over.” With their fifth consecutive conference win and second Big West series sweep, the Titans (24-13, 102) remain two games ahead of the second-place tie between UC Irvine and UC Riverside for first place in the Big West Conference. “(The three-game sweep) is huge for our team,” Pedroza said. “We start sweeping teams it’s just going to make us stronger at the end and in the playoffs.” With one out in the bottom of the first inning, junior center fielder Gary Brown doubled to the gap in left-center and advanced to third on an errant pick-off throw.

Poly San Luis Obispo Saturday night at Goodwin Field. “(A lead-off home run) gives a spark to our lineup right away,” Colon said. “It’s always good. It’s not always the best thing, but it’s good. It’s good to start the game off with a run.” The No. 16 Titans jumped on the Mustangs early with a four-hit, three-run first inning; giving starting pitcher, junior righty Daniel Renken (6-2) all the run support he needed to pick up his sixth consecutive win. “I have a lot more I need to improve on,” Renken said. “This is just a little taste of what I can do. I feel like eight and two third (innings), 133 pitches isn’t my style ... but the way I was throwing my change up, it’s a start to what I can do.” In the top of the second, a fielding error by Pill allowed the Mustangs to scratch across their first run of the game. Following quiet home halves of the second and third innings, junior center fielder Brown extended the lead in the bottom of the fourth with a two-run single to left center. A four-run lead was more than enough separation for Renken who – in his longest outing of the year – went 8.2 innings surrendering three runs (two earned) on 10 hits while striking out six. “That was a big start for (Renken) tonight,” Titan Head Coach Dave Serrano said. “I think it was his best start of the year. That’s a good offensive team that swings the bat well and I think he did a good job handling them tonight. He was much, much, much more in character and that’s all I ask him to do; be in character and be himself.”

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Colon added to the four-run CSUF lead with a two-run double to left, chasing home Ramirez and Siddons who led off the inning with a walk and single, respectively. Following a balk, Colon scored on a one-out groundout by Brown, pushing the lead to 8-1. “We’ve become mentally tougher,” Serrano said. “We want to finish the job and take no prisoners. We committed about a month ago to playing nine innings no matter what the scoreboard says and I’m very proud of how we’ve done that.” CSUF added three insurance runs over the course of the seventh and eighth innings and watched as their lead ballooned to 11-2. On the night, the 1-2 punch of Colon and Brown combined to go three-for-eight with six RBI and two runs scored. “If you look at our success throughout the course of the season, when (Colon and Brown) have a good night, it’s hard to stop our team,” Serrano said. “They’re two of the better offensive catalysts in the country, when they’re going it seems like scoring runs is a lot easier.” GAME 1 By nicholas Fortes

SOFTBALL: Titans swept in doubleheader From Page 1 The Davis coaches, players and even fans were in awe as they berated the umpire from the stands for a “heinous call” and “the worst call in the Big West Conference all season.” “I saw it bounce over and I was slowing up at second and the coaches were telling me to just keep going,” Aragon said. The game came to a standstill as coaches and assistant coaches met with the umpires. “I just wanted Gabby to keep running so the umpires didn’t see
her stop, but it was a ground-rule double,” Gromacki said. If Aragon had hit a ground-rule double, Carter would have scored from third base and the score would have stood at 2-0. The home run stood as originally called and a three-run homer was attributed to Aragon making the score 4-0, Titans. “I’ve been in a slump but this weekend I’ve been hitting better and I think that was a spark that lit the fire for us,” Aragon said.

pitched the entire game keeping the Aggies down. “I was tired,” Laban said. “I haven’t pitched an entire seven-inning game since high school.” The Titan defense and pitching stood stellar against Davis throughout the game. In the bottom of the sixth redshirt sophomore designated player Krystal Heinle had a two-run base hit, increasing the Titan lead, 6-0. “We wanted to do better hitting and wanted to concentrate on having fun and playing our game,” Heinle said. In the top of the seventh, it was the Aggies last chance to stage what would have been an impressive comeback. The Aggies pulled out all the stops and got runners on base, and brought them home with additional base hits. Runner by runner, the Titan lead got smaller and smaller but the Titans brought the Aggies to a screeching halt as the game ended, 6-3. The Titans were the victors for the first time in six games. “We came out with authority, the way we should have come out in every single game,” Aragon said. “Ending a weekend with a win lights everybody up, practices always go good and I think it has pumped us up.”
Next week, the Titans hit the road to Stockton, Calif., to take on the Pacific Tigers for a three-game set, beginning Saturday at noon. “We’re focusing on one day at a time,” Gromacki said. “We are only focusing on our team and playing hard for each other. Right now we’re just playing to survive.”
The Cal State Fullerton baseball team won 14-of-18 games heading into this weekend’s conference series against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. The Titans continued their winning ways, beating the Mustangs 8-6, in their series opener on Friday night at Goodwin Field. The game was a battle, with the Titans leading early and then losing it on a big three-run home run from Mustang shortstop J.J. Thompson in the sixth inning, only to take it back in the seventh off a two-run double from senior left fielder Joey Siddons. The Titans (22-13, 8-2) stay atop the Big West standings with the win. “I think most of our runs were two-run RBIs, which is huge, those
are huge back breakers for teams and I think three or four guys had twoout RBIs when other teammates didn’t succeed to get the runs in and they were able to do it,” said Titan Head Coach Dave Serrano. Titan starter sophomore Kyle Mertins was shaky in his first Friday start at home in his Titan career, going six innings, giving up six runs on 10 hits and striking out three in a no-decision. “(Mertins) would be the first to admit that he wasn’t as good as he could be, but he battled through it and gave us a chance to win,” Serrano said. Freshman righty Dylan Floro (20) earned the victory in relief, throwing one and two-thirds innings and striking out one. Sophomore closer Nick Ramirez was lights out once again, earning his fifth save in a fourout performance and extended his hitting streak to 14 games. Junior center fielder Gary Brown led all Titan hitters with three hits. No. 9 hitter, freshman third basemen Richie Pedroza earned his first RBIs as a Titan in the fifth inning with a two-run double to extend the Titan lead to 6-3. “It feels pretty good, just helping my team get the win,” Pedroza said. “I’ve been hurt the past month, but I just gave all my hard work at practice showing them I can be in the starting line-up, and just keep contributing to the team.” Then in the seventh, with the score tied 6-6 after Thompson’s three-run shot, Siddons crushed a double down the left field line to score senior catcher Billy Marcoe and Ramirez to give the Titans an 8-6 lead. “I was thinking guys on second and third less than two outs, just make sure I don’t put the ball on the ground and make sure I get something up to hit in the outfield so we could at least get one out of it, so I got a pitch and I was able to put it out in the air and it fell for me,” Siddons said. Cal Poly (10-24, 3-7) played the Titans tough, out hitting them 1312 and continually getting runners on-base, but CSUF was able to keep their momentum from mounting a comeback.
