Chants of “Sammy!” brought Titan Gym to life on what was supposed to be an ordinary night of Cal
State Fullerton basketball. With 27 seconds left in a conference tilt between Cal State Fullerton and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Feb. 28, Sammy Jones’ dream of playing in an NCAA Division I game finally became a reality, as the senior team manager scored three points in his
collegiate debut. Jones subbed in the game for guard Jamal Smith, who earlier in the season entertained the idea with the 22-year-old about joining the roster. “We were joking around and he said ‘Oh you should walk on, you’re here every day anyway,’” Jones said.

While the original plan was to dribble the ball till the game clock hit zero, it didn’t pan out that way. Cal Poly SLO guard Jared Rice opted for the aggressive route on defense, which prompted Jones to return the aggression by driving towards the basket. SEE BALLER 8
Review: Psychology Day seeks interns Repairing from loss Students discover new graduate and employment opportunities in the TSU. BAYLEE MAUST Staff Writer
‘The Cherry Orchard’ is more appealing to classical theater enthusiasts. CHRISTIAN AGUILAR Daily Titan
The Department of Theatre and Dance performed Anton Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard” at the Young Theatre on Friday night. Set in 1904, this play is not someone’s typical mainstream drama or comedy as it’s not as amusing compared to well-known theater performances, unless one is interested in classic theater or history. The structure of the Young Theatre was spacious and furnished with a wooden main floor, below a wooden rocking horse, chair, desk and bookcase for the nursery in Act l. On house left and house right were tall skinny tree trunks with branches but no leaves. A huge rectangular canvas featured a painted setting with faded clouds and bloomed cherry orchard trees that gave off a peaceful atmosphere. A projector was used to transition settings in each act. Cherry trees bloomed on a cold spring day in 1904 as Russian aristocrat Liubov Ranyevskaya returns home, grieving the loss of her premature son. SEE THEATER

Students attended presentations hosted by psychology professors and panels for graduate schools, along with learning information about internships on Psychology Day on Monday. Cal State Fullerton hosted the 24th annual Psychology Day in the Titan Student Union from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. The event was primarily organized by the Psychology Department Student Association, Latin Student Psychological Association and Psi Chi, a national honors society. Andrea Joya, the membership coordinator for the Psychology Department Student Association, said she liked exposing different fields within psychology to over 200 of events attendees. Jennifer Cazares, the president of the Psychology Department Student Association, said she enjoyed being more involved in the process of making Psychology Day happen for its 24th year in a row. “It was a lot of work; I’ll tell you that it was a lot of work. It’s all student organized. Faculty is there to support us, but it’s not them planning it, it’s the students,” Cazares said. Cazares added that the event was mainly for psychology students, but could be helpful to those who are interested in

psychology as well. “In general, psych is important for everyday human interaction, so I think it would be beneficial for everyone,” Cazares said. Genesis Avilez, a kinesiology major, is in her second semester at CSUF, and attended the event to get extra credit for her
psychology class. “If I was a psych major, I feel like this would be beneficial because they are talking about internships,” Avilez said. “I think it would definitely be interesting.” Avilez said. At the internship panel, six different local organizations had representatives come to the
event to inform students about internship opportunities. Doug Brown, the community involvement manager for Olive Crest, a non-profit organization that aims to prevent and protect children from child abuse, was one of the representatives at the event. SEE PANEL 3 VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM
