“This is what democracy looks like,” a crowd of students chanted at Becker Amphitheater Tuesday during a Students for Quality Education (SQE) rally protesting the CSU tuition increase. “The message we got from the board of trustees is that students don’t matter and that they can continue to pass the bill off on the students, and we’re not going to accept that,” said SQE President Jon Schreiber. Schreiber stressed the need for a long-term solution to the “mess.” “The university faces a critical juncture where additional revenue is needed if we are to continue the trajectory that has seen campuses reach all-time highs in graduation rates,” said Steve Relyea, CSU executive vice chancellor and chief financial officer in a March press release. The trustees are hoping to get the additional funding from the state legislature, calling the matter “not a course of action that is taken lightly,” Relyea said. He said the tuition increase would help increase

FULLERTON – Following its 2-1 series victory over UC Irvine, Cal State Fullerton’s position on Baseball America’s top-25 stayed at No. 14 in the country. CSUF rival Long Beach State moved up to No. 8 in the country after its series sweep of UC Davis over the weekend. CSUF now sits 3.5 games behind the Dirtbags in the Big West standings, with Long Beach having played in more conference series than the Titans. “ “We’re not really focused on Long Beach at all. We’re just focused on next series and just playing hard and focusing on us, we don’t really need to focus on anybody else,” said center fielder Scott Hurst. SEE PITCHING 5

Resident-only parking approved Council votes for 24-hour permits on streets near CSUF. KEVIN LEY Daily Titan In a 3-1 vote, Fullerton City Council approved a 24hour resident-only parking permit area near Cal State Fullerton. The parking restrictions came after a petition from local residents who were frustrated with students parking in their neighborhood. The permit parking affects an area close to Chapman Park, less than a mile away from school. The newly permitted streets are on Santa Ysabel Avenue and Clark Avenue. “I think we as a community have to deal with the complicated problem ... We are a college town,” said Council member Jennifer

Fitzgerald. “Because this city provides free parking, why are students going to pay to park on campus when they can park in front of your house?” Most Fullerton areas with permit parking are enforced between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. However, due to the consistency of students parking in the area after 7 p.m., the council made the restrictions 24-hour. Mayor Bruce Whitaker was the only member who voted against the permits, citing unforeseen consequences with more exemptions made to restrict parking. Council member Greg Sebourn was absent and did not vote. “If you impose any form of restrictions, you are creating a new hazard where none exists. You are creating the ability for people to be cited or towed,” Whitaker said. SEE PERMIT
