Cal State Fullerton’s “Bee-luther-hatchee” sets a mighty example of what can be done with a relatively small cast of seven characters that is immensely dependent on their relationships with one another. Directed by Saundra McClain, “Bee-luther-hatchee” is neither a superfluous or grandeur story. It eloquently explores the question of

authorship, particularly who has the right to tell someone’s story. Set in New York City during the 1990s, a far simpler time of pagers and colorful windbreakers, Shelita Burns (Noah Michal), an African-American editor accepts an award for “Bee-luther-hatchee,” an autobiography written by a mysterious 72-year-old African-American woman from the South, Libby Price (Adrianna Callendar). The two women have never met. Up until this point it never concerned Shelita but she chooses to embark on a journey to discover where (and who) Libby Price is.

The play is done on a round stage so the characters have limited scenery to work with, yet the actors manage to keep up their lively performance through the use of props and lively back-and-forth chatter. While the beginning of the play had a few technical errors with the revolving stage that were too obvious to ignore. The extra effort made by the cast kept the initial stumbles in the beginning from putting a damper on the rest of the show. Effective lighting changes also allowed for smooth transitions between scenes to keep from any confusion,

particularly in the flashbacks from the South in the 1950s and when Shelita’s judgements and thoughts begin to overwhelm her. The story does not have an overwhelmingly exciting plot or a great deal of suspense that would be expected of a mystery but what truly makes McClain’s version of “Bee-luther-hatchee” a delight is its dynamic characters, with Shelita and Libby being among the most notable. Michal manages a perfect blend of endearment and levelheadedness. She expertly brings a youthful perspective, and with a love for Zora Neale Hurston and W.E.B. Du Bois, portrays

her character as an old soul that hopes to provide a voice to those who have been silenced in history. Callendar captures Libby Price’s essence through her melodic voice and elegant movement. Though her whereabouts remain much of a mystery in the first act, her fleeting presence during scenes reminds everyone of her importance in the story. Much of the first act is effervescent and nostalgic, with ‘90s music and the comical best friend Anna (Kira Jamison) providing laughter for the play’s less exciting moments. During the second act, the story spins in a series of shocking revelations that complicate Shelita’s future, bringing the importance of authorship front and center to the plot line. The relationship between Shelita and Sean (Bernard Hefner) is truly a highlight to the play, as both Michal and Hefner have great chemistry and deep understanding of their characters’ thoughts and emotions. While the play may begin a little slow and with a few errors, the end of the play leaves the audience with a sense of amazement. The quirky, more comical ‘90s aspects in the first act complement the more dramatic and serious second act, which was a well-rounded approach that made it entertaining to watch. Overall, as the first production of the season “Bee-lutherhatchee” sets a great start to the CSUF theatre season. The show runs about two hours with a 15-minute intersession from Oct. 5 through Oct. 28 in the Hallberg Theatre, with tickets at $14 and $12 for students.

Artist unlocks personal space

State law says clinics don’t have to provide women with abortion information. NOAH BIESIADA Asst. News Editor

Recent UC Riverside graduate Jessy Rosales, 22, who now works with NARAL, an abortion-rights advocacy group, remembers an encounter with a crisis pregnancy center in Riverside after she made the decision to get an abortion during her junior year of college. Looking for treatment, Rosales was referred to nearby facilities in the area by the UCR health center, one of which she claims is a “fake clinic.” “I didn’t know that fake clinics were a thing. And that’s a problem a lot of women face,” Rosales said. “It’s just misinforming the public, which should be illegal right? It takes away a woman’s right to choose, which is just completely incorrect to me.” Crisis pregnancy centers are licensed and unlicensed facilities that present themselves like reproductive health centers. They differ from other family planning options like Planned Parenthood because they are commonly against abortion and encourage women to seek other options, according to Heartbeat International, a network of over 2500 centers around the world committed to fighting abortion.

After having a revelation about space as a locksmith, Lucas Murgida BRANDON KILLMAN Digital Editor

Local artist Lucas Murgida held various jobs growing up. He went from being a busboy, to yoga instructor, to working behind the scenes on adult film sets. His more recent job was as a locksmith. Murgida referred to his varied work as “research.” In his locksmithing work, he started to notice

a trend with all of his clients. “What I found when I would go to help someone on a (locksmithing) job, I was often helping a person that was panicking or freaking out for some reason,” Murgida said. He started to ask himself, “Why?” Murgida discovered that the people he was helping were being kept from a place that made them feel safe. His new interactive installment entitled “None of this is Real,” is located at the front of the Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana.

It’s opening reception was held on Oct. 6. Simple drywall and two-byfours make up a room that uses the gallery’s front window space as the fourth wall. The room is reminiscent of a fishbowl and allows the public to spectate the interactive art installment, where gallerygoers are given the task of escaping a room they have just broken in to. Patrons of the gallery are invited to bring their own key to the gallery. The key is then melted down into another key that fits a smaller room that Murgida built and called

a “wardrobe.” John Spiak, the gallery’s art director and chief curator looks forward to the new phase of Murgida’s work. “I’m excited to see what the wardrobe is like and the way people will engage with it. With the last project, the way people engaged with it was really fascinating. High school students would keep coming back and keep bringing more friends so they can see them locked in the room,” Spiak said. SEE LOCK 4 VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

Mom teaches from real life Californians to vote on Proposition 12 Ballot measure determines space requirements for livestock animals. KORRYN SANCHEZ Layout Editor

MIGUEL HIDALGO / DAILY TITAN

New tenure track professor, Christa Greenfader, said she focuses on complex processes of the brain.

New child and adolescent development professor joins the Titan family. MIGUEL HIDALGO Staff Writer

Christa Greenfader, Cal State Fullerton’s new professor in the child and adolescent development department, said her outlook as a mother allows her to reinforce ideas taught in class to situations with her children, Theodore and Mitchell. “I can talk to you about like ‘cognitive growth at point a, point b, point c,’ but it blows my mind when I see my two year old be able to talk about something we did four months ago,” Greenfader said on seeing concepts reinforced from class in the real world. This past summer Greenfader was recently admitted to tenure track at CSUF. Greenfader said she focuses her studies on more complex processes of the brain such as bilingualism. “I am really interested in the contexts in which kids develop language and cognitive skills and finding a way to make those contexts more equitable. That’s kind of it in a nutshell,”

Greenfader said. The professor said her fascination with the subject was due to the many processes and skills required to be bilingual. “You have to have both languages in your working memory and you have to inhibit one to be able to produce the other,” she said. Greenfader also has a degree in violin performance from USC. She said being taught the violin from the age of three had a large influence on her outlook on life. “Learning a musical instrument or any type of skill is really beneficial because it helps you learn discipline in terms of focus, attention and hard work,” Greenfader said. “I feel that experience has given me a lot of the values that I have, in terms of grit and persistence.” Greenfader said that for most of her life she’s had the desire to teach; she got her first experience teaching the violin at 15 years old. “I started teaching just private lessons, but then I started working in after-school programs and teaching large groups of students,” Greenfader said. When outside of the classroom, she said she has a variety

of hobbies including cooking, traveling and running, and has even participated in the Los Angeles Marathon. Greenfader said she enjoys running because it is an exercise she can do with her children. “It’s beautiful because I run in the marina, and now Theodore can go bike riding with me and I push a stroller with Mitchell,” she said. While a new face at the school, the professor said she has quickly acclimated to the students on campus. Rebekah Ankeny, a CSUF student enrolled in one of Greenfader’s courses, said she has enjoyed their interaction so far. “She engages us well in group projects, you get to share with other students and hear the real-life research of what’s happening right now, so it’s easier to apply again while you’re learning,” Ankeny said. While Greenfader has the experiences of a student, parent and teacher, she said that parenting is no easy task, even with the appropriate resources. “The more patient you are with your children, the more they are going to respond to you,” she said.

Proposition 12 is one of 11 propositions on the November ballot. It establishes minimum requirements for confining certain farm animals and prohibits the sale of meat and egg products from animals confined in a noncomplying manner, according to the Official Voter Information Guide. Casting a yes vote would ban the sale of meat and eggs if calves are raised for veal, or breeding pigs and egg-laying hens are not given a specific increased number of square feet. A no vote would adhere to the space requirements for calves, pregnant pigs and egg-laying hens currently in effect, according to Ballotpedia, a ballot information encyclopedia. This California proposition will cause farmers to remodel or build new housing for animals — such as by installing cage-free housing for hens, costing the farmer’s money and raising the price of eggs, veal and pigs, according to the voter’s guide. On the supporting side of the proposition are organizations like The Humane Society of the United States and American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, both being organizations that fight for animal rights. Josh Balk, the vice president of farm animal protection at the Humane Society of the United States, said he is a supporter of Proposition 12. “Proposition 12 prevents the inhumane and cruel confinement of baby veal calves, mother pigs and egg-laying hens in tiny, filthy cages that are so small the animals can barely move. It also ensures that producers that sell in California comply with this very basic common sense standard,” Balk said. Balk said voting yes on Proposition 12 benefits more than just the animals. “(Proposition 12) has more than 600 California veterinarians and veterinary clinics (behind it) because treating animals better is not only good for the animals, but also it is better for food safety, it supports family farmers and it is better for the environment,” he said. According to the California Secretary of State website there have been $3,823,617.16 total

contributions supporting Proposition 12 and $566,359.88 contributions against the proposition as of Sept. 27. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), who fights for animal rights, are against the initiative, according to its website. PETA explained its position on the proposition on its website, stating that voting yes on the initiative would “send the wrong message to consumers.” Balk said PETA is against the proposition because they are searching for a better solution. “I think the PETA folks focus solely on promoting veganism and that we should only take action if there is a utopian solution to solve all issues. I think they are good people who work there for sure and they care about animals just as much as I do, but I think that Prop 12 represents everyday California voters (and) we do not need to wait for perfection to make things better,” Balk said. People do not understand the needs of these animals because it is typically easier for people to sympathize with the pets they share their homes with. Not animals that roam the outdoors or end up as meat being consumed as a meal, according to Prevent Cruelty California, a website in support of the proposition. The Stop the Rotten Egg Initiative website advocates for a no vote on Proposition 12. The website says Proposition 12 negates what voters enacted ten years ago when cages were outlawed. According to the initiative, the egg industry did not remove the cages from factory farms as voters expected, but rather invested in new cages and modified old cages that were already on the farms. Supporting the proposition violates a prior decision made by California voters. Ten years ago Californians voted to abolish cages in factory farms, according to the initiative’s website. According to the initiative, the proposition will use taxpayer dollars to fund a remodel of the current hen-housing and replace it with the guidelines being put in place by the self-interested United Egg Producers. The new space requirement for veal, pigs and egg-laying hens would begin in 2021. It would prohibit commercial sales when violating these requirements, defining these sales violations as unfair competition, according to the Proposition 12 summary from Ballotpedia.

Professors call for cybersecurity plan Online protection was requested after the initial proposal was declined. AURIELLE WEISS SAMMY JONES Staff Writers

Jon Bruschke, human communication studies professor, suggested that Cal State Fullerton have a plan in place that would protect faculty and students from cyber attacks or harassment in a Sept. 27 Academic Senate meeting. The suggestion was made following the misidentification of a former CSUF professor of human services, Christine Ford,who was mistaken for Christine Blasey Ford, a professor from Palo Alto University, in a Grabien News article. The article used CSUF’s Christine Ford’s ratings from the website RateMyProfessor.com. Blasey Ford had accused the recently confirmed Justice Brett Kavanaugh, of sexually assaulting her in high school at a party in the early ‘80s, according to a New York Times article. Grabien News have since updated their site claiming that they wrote the article about the wrong Ford. Bruschke’s proposal came shortly after the statewide Academic Senate collectively passed a resolution in May urging CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White to appoint a committee of faculty, administration, staff and students to draft a statewide policy for anyone who is cyberattacked. White declined to take initiative, Bruschke said. “The statewide senate

Plans against cyberattacks were suggested in a Sept. 27 Academic Senate meeting by CSUF professor, Jon Bruschke.

unanimously recommended to the chancellor to just come up with a plan. The chancellor chose not to act,” Bruschke said. “It was a two-sentence dismissal. The substance of which was: All situations are different so we’re not going to take action.” The dismissed proposal suggested that in the event of an attack, universities should not only address the cause and the severity of the attack, but they should also help with the investigation,

and know how to properly respond and support the individuals who are being harassed, according to the CSU resolution. While there is still no protection policy in place, Amir Dabirian, CSUF division of information technology vice president, said all faculty members are required to undergo cyber training once a year to familiarize themselves on how to best avoid a cyber attack. CSUF has a Center for

Cybersecurity that works to develop cybersecurity certification programs and skills that faculty can apply to their work, according to the center’s website. Bruschke remains confident that CSUF will do its best to actively pursue the protection of faculty and students in the event of online harassment or cyberattacks. “The university knows how it’s going to respond and I think it would be a good idea for our

campus. I am hopeful the administration on our campus is more responsive than the chancellor’s office and we can work with them and come up with something good,” Bruschke said. The RateMyProfessor.com site has since taken down reviews of Christine Blasey Ford and has removed CSUF’s Christine Ford profile entirely. Ford declined to comment on the issue.

public, the clinic relies mostly on donations from individuals and churches, Deiters said. In Long Beach, a crisis pregnancy center called His Nesting Place operates as a maternity home and offers pregnancy tests, housing referrals and a variety of options to women who are dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, said Judy Howard, founder and director of the center. “We’re not a medical clinic. We have volunteer staff from all walks of life who have a heart to aid the mothers who have nowhere else to get support for their pregnancy,” Howard said. Nichole Ramirez, Planned Parenthood’s vice president of marketing and communications for the Orange County and San Bernardino area, said crisis pregnancy clinics often make

misleading, false claims to women in an effort to dissuade them from seeking an abortion. “Some (crisis pregnancy centers) will claim if you have an abortion it’s more likely that you may get breast cancer. That’s the big issue, is that they’re not providing women with all of their options, and some of them are lying to them,” Ramirez said. While Rosales could not remember the name of the clinic, she was told they were unable to process her insurance properly. This meant that she would have to go back to Orange County and restart the process from there under her parents’ CalOptima insurance instead of the insurance she received through her university health center. “They claimed I had the old insurance before I became a UC student,” Rosales said. “That insurance plan was under my parents’ payments. They would’ve received all the billing for it, and this was something I wasn’t ready to

tell my parents about.” After sharing her issues with a friend, her friend advised a Planned Parenthood facility. “I still had to wait a little bit, but (Planned Parenthood) definitely said they found my insurance under the UC Student Health Insurance Plan, and that nowhere in my record did it indicate that I had CalOptima,” Rosales said. The stereotype of crisis pregnancy centers lying to their patrons has hurt them, and has led to picketers and other protestors harassing them, Howard said. Howard shared an incident that occured at their annual fundraising banquet on Sept. 21, when picketers from the Democratic Socialists of America showed up with protest signs. She said His Nesting Place center has always been outright about its Ch r istian

background. “They didn’t seem to know a thing about our ministry,” Howard said. “I would truly welcome anyone from an abortion rights advocates group to come and see what we do.” Following the Supreme Court’s decision in June, lawmakers from the California Legislature found that the roughly 200 centers in the state used “intentionally deceptive advertising and counseling practices that often confuse, misinform and even intimidate women from making fully informed, time-sensitive decisions about critical health care.”

CPC: Anti-abortion clinics face scrutiny 1 Also known as pregnancy care centers, pregnancy resource centers or pregnancy support centers, many are founded and funded by Christian organizations, however not all of them have religious ties, according to the AMA Journal of Ethics. There are currently around 4,000 clinics nationwide that counsel against abortion, and according to Politico, 200 of those are located in California. In June, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the decision that said clinics do not have to provide women with information about abortion or other ways to terminate a pregnancy, as it’s their right under the First Amendment not to, according to the court opinion. In Orange, California, the LivingWell Pregnancy Centers is a pregnancy care center that has been operating since 1985. It provides free ultrasounds, free pregnancy tests, some prenatal care and maternity clothes, said Kathryn Deiters, ministry coordinator for the center. The center also offers mothers referrals to other agencies to help them during and after their pregnancy. To remain open to the CONTINUED FROM

Lock: Art exhibit opens doors to the mind

BRANDON KILLMAN / DAILY TITAN

Lucas Murgida, a local artist, carefully crafts a key among an audience at his art installation in the Grand Central Art Center. CONTINUED FROM

In Murgida’s previous installation, participants were taught how to get through a door using a drill to break the lock. Once they were in the room, they were locked in and participants were presented with a table and a set of keys. Participants were led to believe one of the keys unlocked the door, but the real exit was on the door’s left side.

Viewers and participants of the activity didn’t realize the locked door was an illusion. There were fake hinges visible on one side, but the working hinges were on the other side of the door, not visible to participants. With a slight push on the wall to the left of the door handle, the door opened without the need for a key. Murgida referred to his art installments as “classes.”

Participants have an opportunity to learn something hands on. In the process they learn a technical skill and may even learn something about themselves. “There is always a mechanical lesson in each class, in this case, how to pick a lock. Then behind that mechanical lesson, each one has a conceptual motif going too,” Murgida said. After doing a few demonstrations picking locks, Murgida

said his classes became less about picking a lock and more of a mental learning experience for participants. “What I realized is that most people don’t have a good understanding of how their physical space and also their mental spaces affect the way that they create safety for themselves,” Murgida said. In every exhibit, Murgida hopes to nurture a learning

opportunity into the experience. In the current exhibit, using the key as a medium has become a symbol of people’s ever changing mental state. “I really broadened my definition of keys away from just a piece of metal to anything that allows a person to exit one space and enter another space. Whether it’s a mental space or it’s a physical space,” Murgida said.

Review: A look back on the album that shaped Jay-Z After releasing his third album 20 years ago, Jay-Z became an icon. ANDRE SALAZAR Staff Writer

On Sept. 29, 1998, Jay-Z rose to fame with the release of the album “Vol.2… Hard Knock Life,” solidifying his role as a household artist thanks to hits like “Can I Get A...” and “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem).” Taking a sample of “Annie” to the bank, this third studio album sold 5 million units and propelled him to stardom in the music world 20 years ago. His first attempt to reach a wider audience was when his second album was released in 1997. But “In My Lifetime, Vol.1” received mixed reviews. Critics and fans who became aware of him through his critically acclaimed project, “Reasonable Doubt,” felt some of the songs on the album were too commercially oriented. This was done in large part because of his recruitment of P. Diddy’s production team that ruled radio during that year. It sampled hits like “Every Breath You Take” by The Police in Puff Daddy’s song, “I’ll Be Missing You,” and “I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross in The Notorious B.I.G.’s song, “Mo Money, Mo Problems.” In order to remedy this situation and reassert the more “street” side of himself, Jay-Z decided to take his third album in a grittier direction in terms of it’s sound, replacing the shine and gloss that covered tracks like “Always Be My Sunshine” and “The City Is Mine” from the album prior with much harder-sounding productions like “If I Should Die” and “Money, Cash, Hoes.” These songs have instrumentals that utilize more

keyboard-based sounds. They were built with an aesthetic that was punchier and more sporadic in their nature. Jay-Z was not one to leave well-known pop songs alone. He used a tune from the broadway show “Annie” in his song “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem).” In the song, the little redhaired girl and the rest of her friends sing over a fuzzy baseline and pounding drum beat. A dense and thudding soundscape is set for the emcee to brag about his experiences hustling in the street before becoming a successful rapper. Though there is a strong sense of irony in this combination, Jay-Z makes it work in

his favor thanks to his conversational rap about going “From standing on the corner boppin’, to driving some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen.” A song like “Jigga What, Jigga Who (Originator 99)” shows Jay-Z reverting back to his sped-up rap style he once used on songs during and prior to his “Reasonable Doubt” album. The Timbaland-produced instrumental also features the man who helped bring Jay-Z into the rap industry, Jaz-O. His 1990 song “The Originators” also featured a young Jay-Z utilizing the same flow. In tracks like “A Week Ago” and “Coming Of Age (Da Sequel),” he told stories about street life including selling

drugs. The stories range from the fallout between partners in the drug game to the mental game of chess between a mentor and protege who planned to overthrow his mentor. Other songs like “Can I Get A…” talk about Jay-Z’s view of women’s loyalty and his financial status, rapping, “Can I hit in the morning without giving you half of my dough and even worse, if I was broke would you want me?” This song was also a large hit for Jay-Z, not only appearing on the “Rush Hour” soundtrack that year but also peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. During an interview on the Rap Radar podcast, Jay-Z made a comparison between his best

albums and Michael Jackson’s, saying that he sees “Vol.2... Hard Knock Life” as his “Thriller.” Whether or not that terminology is agreed upon between music fans and Jay-Z, “Vol.2... Hard Knock Life” remains his greatest selling album. Projects that came before and after it have not reached nearly the same height of sales or impacted his career the way that album did. It showed people that Jay-Z had the capability to fill the shoes left by The Notorious B.I.G. in the pop landscape after his death in 1997.

Traditional retail is not going anywhere Brick-and-mortar stores will adapt to pressure from online retailers.

BEN BURKHARDT Staff Writer

For the past few years, many people have been predicting the end of brick-and-mortar retail shopping. After Amazon briefly hit the $1 trillion market value last month, it would seem they might be right. Things may not appear to be going well for traditional retailers, but there is evidence that these difficulties are a sign of transformation rather than an end. Despite the popular assumption that they are disappearing, brick-and-mortar stores will continue to be competitive with online retailers by offering customers convenience and low prices. Online and traditional retailers are competing on every possible front. Take the world’s largest online retailer, Amazon, and compare it with one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar retailers, Walmart. Amazon’s value is impressive — $921.66 billion, while Walmart pales in comparison at $273.28 billion. But this doesn’t tell the whole story. Despite the higher market cap, sales for Amazon were about $177.87 billion worldwide in 2017, according to Amazon’s 2017 annual report. Meanwhile Walmart made about $500.3 billion in revenue over their 2018 fiscal year, according to

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY RILEY MCDOUGALL

their annual report. The reports also show that Walmart serves about 270 million customers each week and Amazon just hit over 100 million Prime users this year. The advantage of grocery stores, convenience stores, bigbox retailers and discount dollar stores is the sense of immediacy they offer compared to online shopping. If someone runs out of milk at home, the person doesn’t buy milk online and wait for a delivery. The individual may instead make their way to a local shop to purchase

milk. People also value the ability to see what they are purchasing, so sentiment is on the side of brick-and-mortar shops. Walmart became the big-box retailer it is today by selling goods at its several locations with huge discounts. It can afford to offer these discounts because it constantly pushes suppliers to cut prices. It also has a very efficient grocery business, which Amazon only recently entered into when it bought Whole Foods. In that regard, Amazon actually seems to be in the process

of turning itself into a more traditional brick-and-mortar retailer. It has a physical retail presence in 23 districts in the United States. The company also fully owns Whole Foods, which gives Amazon access to Whole Foods’ distributors. Amazon also plans to launch 3,000 cashier-less, cashless Amazon Go grocery stores by 2021. Obviously Amazon sees physical locations as part of it’s long-term retail strategy. Brick-and-mortar stores adapt to become more competitive

and consumers benefit from it. For example, many stores will price match to online prices. Even the Titan Bookstore will price match textbooks so students can get their books at a low price and at the last minute. Online retail is growing quickly, and has been outperforming traditional stores. However, online stores have shown that they are not going to replace traditional retailers anytime soon and Amazon’s entry into the brick-and-mortar market guarantees that.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

WORD OF THE DAY intestine

Who is your everyday hero?

The security that you’re after isn’t likely to magically materialize on its own. You are well aware you need to work to create a safety net, and that you can help coax it into being through conscientious behavior.

We bet you thought intestine was a noun referring to a part of the digestive system! It is, of course, but naming that internal body part isn’t the word’s only function.

CANCER (Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

LAST WEEK’S

Run full throttle with enthusiastic self-expression today. The energetic flow moves you toward the people, places, and activities that most make you tick.

LEO (Jul. 23 - Aug. 22) Plans left up in the air now don’t stand very good odds of coming to fruition. If you want to help something come to pass in a way that produces big smiles all around, set a definite date, place, and time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22) Staying organized is second nature to you. You typically need no prompting to tidy up or to assign every item its own place, which is why it’s so surprising that you leave these tasks to another person today.

You’re looking at the right place.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Energy alignment is possible today if you approach each task with an open mind. Decide where to begin and set about tying up loose ends. Intuition tells you exactly where your attention is essential, so there’s no reason to risk letting the prime moment for action pass you by.

Those things that can’t be understood at a casual glance might make perfect sense upon deeper inspection now. Open your third-eye power of extrasensory perception. When negative energy is swept away, there is no reluctance to acknowledge the truth.

The intricacy of a plan is taken up a notch today. You have your own way of deploying a mix of intuition and logic that can cut straight to the heart of many matters. Not easily contented now, you want to turn good into fantastic, and fantastic into amazing.

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer will host Cal Poly San Luis Obispo this Wednesday at Titan Stadium. The Titans (4-3-6) have yet to win a conference game this season, currently sitting at 0-1-1 in Big West play. Fullerton has played better offensively on its home field with 11 of its 17 goals coming at Titan Stadium this season. The Titans average 1.83 goals a game at home as compared to their 0.83 average on the road. They have scored in every game at home this season

but have been shutout four times on the road thus far. Cal Poly SLO (4-5-2) holds the lowest winning percentage in the Big West (.455). Cal Poly heads to Fullerton following a double-overtime loss to UC Riverside. The Mustangs have struggled on the road, with a 1-32 record away from Alex G. Spanos Stadium. Offense has been the Mustangs’ biggest flaw in road games; they have been shutout in half of their road games and have only scored three goals in those six games. Fullerton has a 14-4 all-time record at home when facing Cal Poly and have not lost a game to the Mustangs since 2012. In the six games since that loss, the Titans have outscored the Mustangs, 9-2. This season Titans forward Samuel Goni currently leads the team in scoring with four goals. The Titans

are 2-1-1 this season when Goni puts the ball in the net. Despite starting the first ten games of the season, Goni has not started in the last four. In the four games Goni came off the bench, he has scored two goals. Goni’s four goals ranks seventh in the Big West. This season Sean Goode leads the Mustangs in scoring with four goals. Two of Goode’s four goals have come on the road. In games that Goode has scored, the Mustangs are 2-2. The Titans 1.31 goals a game average ranks sixth in the Big West, while the Mustangs sit at the bottom of the conference with a 1.09 goals per game average. Wednesday’s game will start at 7 p.m.
