The final three design pro-posals for the impending Ti-tan Student Union renovation were revealed to the campus for the first time last week at the Titan Student Cen-ters (TSC) Governing Board meeting.

Students will have a chance this week to review the designs and submit feed-back forms at drop-in ses-sions, which will be held through Wednesday. The TSC Governing Board and members of the Facilities and Planning Management team will consider the feed-back before choosing the new design.

The designs will not be posted online, and the drop-in sessions are the only chance students will have to provide feedback on pro-posed designs.

The three teams of con-tractors and architects de-signed their proposed renova-tions to the TSU, keeping the $20 million budget in mind. The budget for the redesign

project was approved last September using funds that come from available Associ-ated Students, Inc. and TSC program reserves, said Kurt Borsting, TSC director.

Over the next few weeks, the technical proposals for each of the designs will be reviewed by a committee consisting of student repre-sentatives as well as design and construction staff, in-cluding Jay Bond, Cal State Fullerton’s campus architect and the associated vice pres-ident for Facilities and Plan-ning Management.

The Governing Board’s requests obligated the archi-tects to expand into the pa-tio areas to the south and east of the TSU and to utilize the Garden Cafe as a sunk-en courtyard. These spac-es would be incorporated with the existing first floor and basement levels, and re-designed as a “wow space” where students can collabo-rate and hangout.

The second floor, which houses student government and administrative offices, will be redesigned to improve circulation, create more open work spaces and relocate of-fice spaces according to de-partments and programs.

The three proposed designs

The architects who de-signed the Student Rec-reation Center are among the teams vying to rede-sign the TSU. The C.W. Driver and Gensler team

also designed the Facebook headquarters, the AT&T Foundry and Airbnb office in San Francisco.

Gensler’s designer, Li Wen, described their plan as free-flowing and cli-mate appropriate, engaging

the indoors with the out-doors. The “wow space” is created using tiered staircase-like lounge ar-eas to create a three-sto-ry multi-purpose amphi-theatre style atrium that will connect the TSU

Underground to the first level up to the second floor offices. The design is very fluid and open, but still creates somewhat separat-ed nooks and levels.

The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team clinched the Big West Conference regular season champi-onship Sunday, beating Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 1-0 at Titan Stadium.

“This is an absolutely great re-sult for the program. I am incredi-bly proud and impressed with our women,” said CSUF Head Coach Demian Brown. “To be able to bat-tle the way that we did, not just to-day, but throughout the course of our conference season—to conclude with a game like this is absolutely tremendous.”

The Titans were eager to win, not just for the opportunity at a regular season title, but also for the opportu-nity to send off the team’s seniors in style.

“Our conversation in the lock-er room was, ‘They don’t want it

ECS unit waiver OK’d

Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) Board of Direc-tors has approved $40,000 to bring retired NBA leg-end and businessman Earvin “Magic” Johnson to campus to deliver a talk at Cal State Fullerton in the spring.

The funds were allo-cated to the Business In-ter-Club Council (BICC) from ASI’s contingency fund.

“We have never actual-ly allocated funding un-til this year to a specific speaker event, and it was only through the hard work of NSM (Natural Science and Mathematics) last year partnering with a lot of the ICCs that we brought one of the first high-rated speakers here to campus, which was Bill Nye,” said Chief Governmental Offi-cer Kelsey Brewer.

Following the success of Nye’s keynote speech at the Explorations in Cit-izen Science symposium in March, the 2013-2014 ASI Board of Directors allo-cated $40,000 to the exec-utive senate budget for an event hosting a high-pro-file speaker, Brewer said.

The vast majority of Johnson’s $90,000 speak-ing fee was paid by the ASI funds and a $40,000 donation from Anil Puri, Ph.D., dean of the College of Business and Econom-ics, but many campus clubs and ICCs also donated.

The CSUF Athletics De-partment will provide the use of Titan Stadium as a venue for the event.

After deliberating for over an hour, the Academic Sen-ate approved a nine-unit gen-eral education exemption for students in the College of Engineering and Com-puter Science (ECS) in a di-visive vote at their meeting Thursday.

Students in the ECS col-lege will not be required to complete the A.3 Critical Thinking, B.2 Life Science and D.5 Social Science por-tions of general education. Current students will be grandfathered in to the ex-emption and will not be re-quired to complete the cours-es if they haven’t already.

The exemption will take effect depending on the pro-visions of the signatures by CSUF President Mildred García and California State University Chancellor Timo-thy White.

Fitch plead that the sen-ate should not pass a pro-posal as a reaction to the unit cap without first look-ing for other options.

“If we’re going to pass this, we need to make it really clear that we don’t believe we’re preserving quality,” Fitch said. “We don’t for a minute think this is quality education.”

Much of the disagree-ment came from the criti-cal thinking exemption.

Academic senator Jon Bruschke, professor of hu-man communications at CSUF, cited a study that shows critical thinking ed-ucation increases grade point average, the likeli-hood that the student will attend graduate school and students’ chances of get-ting a job in their field.

“The vote was a signif-icant loss for engineering students, and a deep and painful blow to those of us who have dedicated our lives to the teaching and studying of critical think-ing,” Bruschke said follow-ing the approval. “It won’t better prepare engineers. It won’t speed up graduation times, but it will put our campus badly out of step with organizations like the American Association for the Advancement of Sci-ence that are calling for more critical thinking cur-ricula, not less.”

Had the proposal failed,

the senate would have had to argue a compelling ac-ademic reason for an ex-emption to the CSU Board of Trustees, which has nev-er approved an exemption to the unit cap.

Exempting ECS stu-dents from general edu-cation units is the product of a years-long process the college has gone through to reduce unit count from as many as 142 units.

Cal State Fullerton re-quires more general educa-tion units for ECS students than any campus in the CSU. Programs in the ECS college are also required to meet strict accreditation standards set by Accredita-tion Board for Engineering and Technology, the col-lege’s accrediting body.

“This is not a propos-al that we brought on our-selves,” said Dean of the

College of ECS Raman Unnikrishnan, Ph.D., at the senate meeting.

The proposal came about as a reaction to the unit cap and the situation would have differed if the col-lege had the luxury of con-structing curriculum from the ground up, Unnikrish-nan said.

Following the approval of the proposal, Unnikrish-nan said he felt relieved.

“The alternative would have dragged on this dis-cussion unnecessarily,” Unnikrishnan said. “The senate as a large body, even though there are indi-vidual differences and very strong views, as a univer-sity body has always done what is right.”

Having a cap of 120 units is part of being a pub-lic institution and the sys-tem of checks, balances and directives that colleges must abide by, and the col-lege must do everything to make sure they follow what the system calls for, Un-nikrishnan said.

The college is current-ly in the process of revis-ing curriculum to adjust for the removal of the nine units by making changes to a complicated flowchart of ECS course requirements.

It is more than just re-moving three “bricks” in the required coursework, Unnikrishnan said. The college will look at pro-gram structures to ensure balance of workload.

BICC President Lydia Wang and her team have been presenting to different ICCs and gathering student surveys online and around campus to allow students to voice their opinions on a big speaker for next year.

After gathering 893

student surveys, Johnson won out against comedian Kevin Hart and Shark Tank judges Barbara Corcoran and Daymond John.

“Magic Johnson touch-es a lot of different gener-ations as well, so I know that he will help bring a lot of attention to the school, not only for students on

campus but for the com-munity around us,” Wang said.

The reception from the board was mixed with con-cerns such as relevancy of topics, funding and success of the event. During the discussion, board members and executive staff had some reservations about

giving such a large amount of money to one college over another.

“It’s not really our mon-ey; it’s the students’ mon-ey and we have to think what they would want us to spend their mon-ey on. When students pay their fees, they want to see something big happen

from it,” said Katy John-son, College of Health and Human Development board member.

Once the BICC has so-lidified 99 percent of their funds, they can begin other marketing and fundraising such as raffling sports mer-chandise and a meet-and-greet with Johnson.

One pilot, Michael Alsbury, died and an-oter, Peter Siebold, was injured after a Virgin Galactic space-ship separated from its mothership in flight and crash-landed min-utes after takeoff Fri-day afternoon.

Alsbury and Sie-bold were the only ones aboard Space-ShipTwo, a ship spe-cially designed to take up to six passengers over 76 miles above Earth to spend about 10 minutes explor-ing the atmosphere and experiencing ze-ro-gravity. The flights are planned to cost up to $250,000.

An investigation is underway and could take up to a year to discover exactly what went wrong.

A man posing as a representative from As-sociated Students, Inc. has been attempting to collect money and cred-it card information from students at CSUF and elsewhere in Orange County, according to a report from CSUF Uni-versity Police.

University Police first took down a report on the subject on Oct. 29, but he has also been seen at Santiago Can-yon College and Citrus College.

At Citrus College, he was selling tickets for an event called “Com-edy Union” as well as tickets to a paintball fa-cility. He then took down credit card information from students using his iPhone.

Students who are ap-proached should call 911.

Students who have in-formation related to this case should contact De-tective Autumn Hollyfield at the California State University Police Depart-ment at (657) 278-2191.

Several arrests have been made following the hit-and-run deaths of three teenage trick-or-treaters in Santa Ana Friday night.

The girls, all 13, were crossing the street in a crosswalk on East Fairhaven Avenue near North Grand Av-enue when they were struck by a Honda CR-V. All three died on the scene.

The SUV was found in a nearby shopping center and was traced to an address, but the vehicle’s owner no lon-ger lives there.

Based on witness re-ports, police conduct-ed a manhunt over the weekend for the driv-er and the passenger. It was unclear whether the owner of the car is one of the suspects.

The Business Inter-Club Council (BICC) is doing its part to make Cal State Ful-lerton a little cleaner. Mem-bers picked up trash and cig-arette butts in and around the orange groves next to the College of Business and Economics last Thursday.

The idea to clean up the area came to BICC Presi-dent Lydia Wang after pass-ing through the groves to her business classes from the parking structure and

seeing cigarette butts “ev-erywhere,” Wang said.

Even with a campuswide smoking ban since last Au-gust, the benches in be-tween the orange groves have remained a popular spot with smokers. As a re-sult, cigarette butts contin-ue to litter the seating area within the groves.

As president of a business club, Wang said she believes that the trash reflects poor-ly on the college behind it. She decided to do some-thing about it and enlist-ed the help of her executive board.

BICC is composed of 10 executive board members

and about 20 representa-tives from every club within the College of Business and Economics.

The 10 executive board members met up, distributed

gloves and bags and went to work.

“All of our students are from Mihaylo,” Wang said. “I think it was a really great way for them to contribute back.”

While there are plans to do this again this semester with all of their members, Wang said she doesn’t want this to be a regular activity. Instead, the council hopes that this effort helps make a statement to their fellow students.

“I really hope that I don’t have to do it again, just so that students can stop litter-ing and also stop smoking on campus,” Wang said.

Perkins+Will’s design added a bright orange float-ing extension off the second floor which would overhang and create a shade along the outdoor entryways. The extension’s interior would house additional adminis-trative boardrooms.

Much of the plan focus-es on creating new work-space suites with feature walls and whiteboard sur-faces and breakrooms for the student government and administrative offices.

Their “wow space” plan also includes an atrium, but one that is very open with a skylight, like an inner court of a shopping mall. Their concept for this de-sign was the idea of “seeing and being seen.”

“We really wanted the students to be on dis-play,” said Sing Sing Lee, project designer for

Perkins+Will.Steinberg and PCL Con-

struction, which designed the Gastronome and the student housing residence halls, hopes to bring a tall and sleek look to the TSU with floor to ceiling untint-ed glass.

The “wow space,” also an atrium, is described as open and flexible. The sec-ond floor opens in the mid-dle and looks down into the lower level court, much like a mall.

The square opening in the middle creates spac-es along the sidelines: a lounge area for students, a board room on one side and an entrance to admin-istrative offices on another side.

Should all things go ac-cording to plan, construc-tion would begin summer 2015 and the new facilities would open spring 2017, Borsting said.

The Cal State Fullerton University Singers and Con-cert Choir performed Satur-day night in Meng Concert Hall.

Led by CSUF Conduc-tors Christopher Gravis and Christopher Peterson, each performed as ensembles in two different segments.

The Concert Choir, led by Peterson, performed the first seven songs of the night.

They were greeted with cheers from the audience as they approached the stage and readied themselves for their performance.

The crowd was captivat-ed by the grace and tone the Concert Choir sang with from the very beginning.

The first song of the night was O Clap Your Hands by Ralph Vaughan Williams, a prominent European musi-cian in the 1920s.

Jabula Jesu, an African folk song by Stephen Hat-field, is based on emotion and spirituality. It got the crowd going as the sounds from the bongo drum created a special

atmosphere in the room. Peterson, a professor of

music at CSUF, had full com-mand of the choir the en-tire night and was satisfied with his students’ expressive performance.

“We wanted the audience to be moved by our singing. We wanted to give our gifts to them, and I felt our stu-dents were engaged and I felt like they gave everything they had,” Peterson said.

He said the students have been rehearsing the music since the end of August.

“We have some of the best students here at Cal State Fullerton,” Peterson said.

“Our students are dedicated, they’re talented, they work really hard and they’re nice people, very professional.”

After the performance of Quatre Motets pour le temps de Noel, a special guest and prominent conductor, Larry Timm, led the choir in Song for the Mira.

The piece was written by Allister MacGillivray, a sing-er and songwriter from Nova Scotia, Canada.

Hold on, a modern take on a classic African-Amer-ican spiritual, was the last song performed before intermission.

The Concert Choir was

given a huge round of ap-plause and standing ovation by the audience.

The second half of the show was led by Gravis. All of the songs performed cap-tured the audience’s attention, but the one that stood out most was Mass in G Minor by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Graduate student Ray Me-dina conducted the University Singers’ last song.

“I’m getting my master’s degree here in choral con-ducting, so it’s definitely an honor to stand in front of those singers. It’s pretty pow-erful when you’re standing that close to them and making

music. It’s not a very diffi-cult job when you’re working with singers like that,” Medi-na said.

The University Singers and the Concert Choir were ap-plauded by friends and fam-ily afterwards. Everyone left Meng Hall with smiles on their faces.

CSUF music student Ma-rina Macias was one of the many in attendance who en-joyed the concert.

“It was not only very in-spiring, but very impressive. It made me realize I have a lot to learn, which is a good thing,” Macias said.

The Glass and Ceramics exhibit opened Saturday at Grand Central Art Center (GCAC) in Santa Ana fea-turing glass and ceramic art from the local commu-nity and Cal State Fuller-ton students.

Almost all of the art-work in the exhibit is for sale, so visitors can take a unique piece of art home with them if they choose.

The exhibit features ev-erything from uniquely glazed mugs and crack-led clay to glass vas-es and hand-blown glass figurines.

Beautiful handcrafted bells and jewelry are also on display.

Visitors perused the doz-ens of one-of-a-kind pieces that included small piec-es of jewelry and 3-inch vases.

Many of the pieces were purchased within the first couple of hours, but ac-cording to GCAC Di-rector and Chief Curator John Spiak, there are more pieces that have yet to be displayed.

The exhibition is an an-nual tradition for GCAC and many artists look for-ward to having their work featured as much as visi-tors look forward to buying the new items on display.

Lise Orwig, a student at the Osher Lifelong Learn-ing Institute (OLLI) at CSUF, said she was drawn to the exhibit because of her interest in ceramics.

Orwig and her husband, Carey, spend their time in the museum admiring the pieces and speculating

about the different tech-niques the artists could have used to create them.

“I am going to OLLI at Cal State Fullerton and taking a ceramics class, so I suddenly developed this eye and interest in looking at all of the things that peo-ple make,” Orwig said.

The exhibit features both decorative and functional pieces that can be used at home, like mugs and plate. Each artist used their own unique textures and tech-niques in their works.

“The quality is real-ly good. I was looking at some of the smaller pieces. Obviously, everything in here is done by people who know what they are doing, and it’s wonderful to see this many different art-ists displayed,” said Car-ey Orwig as he examined a stoneware vase by Brandon Lipe.

Artists and passersby were able to take a look at the bottles, bowls, hand-blown glass ornaments and clay teapots.

“I used to paint a long time ago,” said music ma-jor Seta Oknaian, who was visiting GCAC from the San Fernando Valley.

“I think it’s great. You know, we should have more of these kinds of exhibits. We don’t have enough ... young people should be re-ally encouraged to do more arts.”

Oknaian said her favor-ite piece was a clay mug by artist Annie Nguyen.

“I was born in Cairo, Egypt and it’s nice to see clay stuff. Egyptians have a lot of clay things,” Okna-ian said.

The exhibit is open to the public and will have new pieces on display until Jan. 11, 2015. Some of the items on display and up for sale at the Glass and Ceramics show included glass vases, hand-blown glass figurines, handcrafted

bells and jewelry. Many pieces were purchased within the first few hours, but more pieces will be added as the show continues.

graduate students currently advancing their education at APU.

Imagine the pristine beau-ty of Crater Lake in Oregon, a place marked by crystal-line blue water and vibrant green pine trees amidst rocky cliffs.

That placid and idyllic landscape was one of dozens across the country to have its beauty violently interrupt-ed with cartoonish artwork painted in garish shades of color.

Not only do such drawings negatively impact the aes-thetic of an otherwise beau-tiful landscape, they’re also illegal.

The primary suspect for the vandalisms is Casey Nocket, 21, who is being investigated by officials at the National Park Service (NPS).

Nocket shared the paint-ings on her Instagram ac-count, @creepytings, un-til the account was recently deleted.

She is believed to be re-sponsible for paintings in Joshua Tree, Death Valley, the Colorado National Mon-ument, Rocky Mountain in Colorado, Crater Lake in Or-egon and Zion and Canyon-lands in Utah. Nocket has defended the work through social media, calling it art.

Whether the work is art or not is debatable. What is not debatable is the illegality of Nocket’s alleged actions.

The Code of Federal Reg-ulations, which applies to

national parks, defines van-dalism as “destroying, injur-ing, defacing or damaging property or real property.”

Nocket used acrylic paint, a hard to remove substance, to alter the appearance of rocks. Park officials are still unsure of how to clean off rocks in a way that doesn’t involve scraping them.

She could very well be looking at jail time in addi-tion to fines if the NPS de-cides to prosecute. Vandal-ism in public parks can be considered a felony, rather than a misdemeanor, if the damage is extensive enough or in specially-protected areas.

In our modern era, there are hundreds of options for individuals to express them-selves creatively while re-maining within the boundar-ies of the law.

Nocket, who apparently has an affinity for social me-dia, could have disseminated images of her artwork on de-viantART, Twitter and Insta-gram, even if it was in more obscure locations. These sites function as platforms for getting a person’s art to a large audience.

She could have gotten her work commissioned by a municipal or state agency. The National Assembly of State Art Agencies has in-formation on the 27 states that have public art or per-cent for art programs. Ore-gon, Utah and Colorado—three of the states Nocket placed her artwork—have such programs.

Nocket could have also worked to be included as part of an art gallery or

exhibit. Clara Lieu, an adjunct

professor at the Rhode Is-land School of Design, wrote a piece last year on how she worked to get in-cluded in galleries and exhi-bitions as a young and blos-soming artist.

It was a process that in-cluded searching galler-ies in her local area online and contacting each and every one of them to see if she could have her work shown.

Talking about the illegal nature of drawing and paint-ing in national parks doesn’t quite reach the heart of the issue, which is that these lands belong to everyone. They have been set aside by the federal government for the enjoyment of generation after generation.

There’s something truly magical about seeing them in their unadulterated beau-ty with their crystal blue waters, huge trees or deep canyons; there is some-thing other-worldly, which is probably why they were saved and set apart to begin with.

Nocket should be held ac-countable for her actions. She should be prosecuted and made to pay fines and restitution for essentially what amounts to a form of vandalism if she’s responsi-ble for what happened.

That form of consequence would serve as a lesson to wannabe copy cats—while there’s nothing wrong with creative expression, there is something wrong with us-ing public lands as a plat-form for it.

National park art a cause for concern

Casey Nocket, the primary suspect of multiple park vandalisms, tweeted this image from her Instagram account before deleting the account recently.

Both the Cal State Fuller-ton men’s and women’s cross country teams finished in fifth place at the Big West Championships on Satur-day at the Ag/Ops Course in Riverside.

In Fullerton’s second ap-pearance on the course this season, the Titans seemed comfortable as they had an

impressive showing against their conference foes.

The men’s team was paced by sophomore Jose Penalo-za, while Tejera Dial led the women’s contingent.

For the second consec-utive season, the Fullerton women finished fifth in the conference meet, and their 149 points fell two shy of their best finish in the event all-time when the Titans fin-ished fourth.

Dial was the top finisher for the women’s team, post-ing a time of 21:41.3 to fin-ish in 18th place in the 6k

course. Junior Emily Taylor was close behind, finishing 25th with a time of 21:51.0.

Junior Ana Valdovinos was the other top-30 finish-er for Fullerton, earning the 30th spot by coming in at 21:58.0.

“The women’s team looked good early on, but we tailed off a bit toward the end of the competition,” Head Coach John Elders said to FullertonTitans.com. “Tejera Dial really posted a breakthrough performance to lead the women. Overall, it was a positive meet and

I’m very proud of all our student-athletes.”

UC Davis won the Big West Championship on the women’s side, edging out two-time defending champi-on Cal Poly San Luis Obis-po. The Aggies had five of the top 15 runners in the event.

The Titan men’s fifth place finish tied their best showing since 2006.

Penaloza led the way for the men’s squad, completing the 8k course in 24:43.5.

His 14th place finish was the best for a Titan in the

conference meet since Jor-dan Horn finished 10th in 2006.

Freshman Samuel Gar-cia and sophomore Daniel Ramirez were the next Ti-tans to finish on Saturday, finishing in 20th and 29th place with times of 24:48.0 and 25:11.8, respectively.

“I’m really proud of our guys as we were able to mus-ter up one of the best finishes over the past eight seasons,” Elders said to FullertonTi-tans.com. “Jose (Penalo-za) ran a really solid race, while we expect a strong

performance from him as he also yearns to run at an elite level on the big stage. Sam (Garcia) also posted a good race, overcoming many ob-stacles and showing a great deal of perseverance to get to this point.”

UC Santa Barba-ra clinched the men’s ti-tle, ending Cal Poly SLO’s four-year run as conference champion.

Cal State Fullerton will now head to the NCAA West Regional Championships held at Stanford University on Nov. 14.

Despite being out with a torn ACL since the Titans’ game against Hawaii, Patter-son started the match.

She got a touch on the ball before being substituted off 13 seconds after the opening whistle and continued to in-spire her teammates despite being forced to sit out.

“Seeing Chelsey Patterson go down, who was the strong-hold of our team in the cen-ter—that just put that fire in our hearts that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and there’s nothing that we’re ever going to get like it,” Gjonovich said.

After the emotional send-off, the game kicked off.

In the second minute, Gjonovich fired wide, a rare instance of attack for the Ti-tans, who struggled to find their rhythm throughout much of the first half.

The lack of sharpness from CSUF allowed Cal Poly to be-gin mounting some pressure. The Mustangs had a chance to go ahead in the 22nd minute

courtesy of Elise Krieghoff’s shot, but thankfully for the Ti-tans, goalkeeper Jennifer Stu-art made the save.

Rebecca Wilson tried to create something for Fuller-ton in the 26th minute, but she fired wide of the net.

In the 40th minute, Emi-ly Hansen tried her luck for Cal Poly SLO, but her shot was also off target. In total, the first half ended with only five combined shots, as both teams struggled to score.

The Titans started hot af-ter halftime. In the 47th min-ute, Serena Smith-Banas got a head on the ball, but her at-tempt couldn’t find the back of the net, and Gjonovich’s effort in the 51st minute sailed over the crossbar.

Fullerton was able to force two saves from Mustang goal-keeper Alyssa Giannetti. She denied senior Brianna Chap-man in the 62nd minute and then did the same to Christina Burkenroad in the 70th.

The dam finally broke in the 82nd minute.

Burkenroad dribbled down the right flank and sent a

cross over to the far post to Gjonovich, who slotted in the winning goal.

“The easiest goal of my soc-cer career: right on the line,” Gjonovich said. “The first goal of my senior year, and no better time to score it.”

The lone goal was enough for the Titans to win the reg-ular season crown.

“There was a point in our season where we could have packed bags and considered it a loss. And to be able to keep consistent with our thoughts and training and get to the point where we are today is just a major credit to our women,” Brown said.

They will now look ahead toward the Big West Tourna-ment, which begins Thurs-day in San Luis Obispo. The Titans will play Cal State Northridge in the semifinals.

“This happened to us two years ago, where we won the conference and didn’t win the tournament, and noth-ing is a gut check like that,” Gjonovich said. “We don’t want to experience that feel-ing again.”

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

You are even more driven toward success than usual -- so watch out, world! Things may start to speed up late in the day, but it’s slow going until then. Expect greatness and it should arrive.

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

Your mental energy offers a new clarity -- and a new perspective. Things may start to get really interesting once you see the situation as a friend or colleague sees it. Embrace change!

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

It’s not you -- life really did just get a little hard-er. The good news is that it’s temporary, but you do have to deal with today’s hassles quickly. Once you’re past this, you can coast quickly.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

Whatever happens today, it’s not boring. You should find that your energy is just about right for whatever you face, even if it’s really boring or awful. The odds are even either way.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

You’re probably quite excited over something that’s most meaningful to you. Try not to worry too much if others don’t share your excitement, though -- those around you have their own things going on.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

Things just seem more fun today -- so kick back, relax and enjoy all that great energy. You may stumble into a bit of luck, but don’t expect a winning lottery ticket to fall from the heavens.

LIBRA(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

You need to be more careful -- otherwise, things could take you by surprise. Just try not to take such great care that you keep yourself from doing any-thing positive.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

Your social energy is so good it’s almost crazy-mak-ing! You get along great with your enemies, and your friends are all besties. It’s a good time for you to end grudges and start new flings.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

It’s not the best time for you to spend more than you’ve got -- or even a penny more than you must! Hang onto your credit card and see if you can avoid buying anything all day long.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

Don’t worry about getting everything done -- it’s a sure thing. You’ve got enough energy to tackle ten people’s to-do lists at once, so get out there and wrap up all those projects you want to put behind.

AQUARIUS(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18):

You’re feeling somewhat tired after a day or two of activities that seemed to go nowhere. There’s a good side: Once you’ve recovered from this, your energy should flood back in an exciting way.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

You’ve got at least one colleague who’s incredibly helpful today -- and may even get you a brand-new gig if you’re open to it. Your social life and your professional life are merging in new ways.

The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team will be playing for their Big West Tournament lives against Cal State Northridge Wednesday after having tied 2-2 against UC River-side Saturday.

With the tie, Riverside moved one point ahead of Fullerton in the Big West South Division standings.

“It’s a frustrating tie. It puts us in a must-win sit-uation to get into the con-ference tournament,” said Head Coach George Kuntz. “Anything less than a win is going to be the end of the season for these guys.”

The pressure was on for Fullerton to win in front of a home crowd that was hon-oring 12 departing Titans on senior night.

They started off lively, finding the back of the net

less than two minutes after the opening whistle.

Midfielder Ian Ramos was the provider on the play, receiving the ball from Amara Soumah and play-ing a through ball into the box to senior striker Marc Fenelus.

Fenelus beat Riverside defender Philipp Domi-nique and poked the ball past goalkeeper K.C. John to put the Titans up 1-0.

It seemed like the start of a very productive night for CSUF. Riverside, however, quickly quashed any notion of an easy home win for Fullerton, drawing level in the 22nd minute.

On the right side, High-lander Ricardo Ruiz beat Gabriel Quintero and crossed to the far post, where an unmarked Mi-chael Salazar headed the ball past Fullerton goal-keeper Jeff Salt to even the score at 1-1.

Fullerton responded by creating their share of op-portunities, but despite the pressure from CSUF, it was

Riverside who scored the third goal of the match.

On the left side, Otis Earl beat four CSUF players be-fore crossing low across the Titan goalmouth.

The ball took a deflec-tion off a Fullerton player before an unmarked Juan Mendoza slotted in to make it a 2-1 game in favor of the Highlanders.

“We talked about tracking (opposing players) before the game. We’ve worked on tracking. We’ve talked to guys (and told them) that this is what they have to do. And so it’s disappointing to give up two goals against this team,” Kuntz said.

Even worse for Fuller-ton, right-back Alex Cannas came off with an injury on the scoring play.

Kuntz indicated that the senior may have seen his last minutes of the season, having suffered a potential fracture to his leg.

The Titans got a break in the 66th minute when Otis earned a second yellow card and a red card after a

reckless challenge on Sou-mah, leaving the Highland-ers with only 10 men.

The one-man advantage paid off for the Titans six minutes later, when Garrett Losee redirected a Ramos corner kick toward the Riv-erside goal.

As the ball was in the air, Soumah managed to get a touch on it to make the score 2-2.

The pressure kept mount-ing, and Riverside again saw a red card in the 84th minute when Stephen Co-pley brought down Losee, who had beaten him and was set for a one-on-one with John.

Reduced to nine men, UCR successfully defended

the Titan onslaught, forcing the eventual double over-time draw.

“For me, it’s the biggest disappointment of the sea-son because we played for more than 10 minutes with two men up, so we should have definitely won the game. There’s no excuse about that,” Fenelus said.

The Titans travel to Cal State Northridge Wednes-day, needing at least a tie to stay alive.

With a loss, the Titans would fail to qualify for the Big West Conference Tournament.

“It’s all or nothing, so we’re going to go in with all heart,” Soumah said. “No matter what, we have to battle.”

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team suffered their eighth Big West Conference loss of the season Saturday at the hands of the No. 30 Hawaii Rainbow Wahine.

The Titans are 0-33 all time against the Rainbow Wahine, and haven’t won a set against legendary coach Dave Shoji’s squad since 2012.

Hawaii entered the game coming off a five-set vic-tory against the UC Irvine Anteaters on Halloween. They had four players re-cord double-digit kills, in-cluding a standout perfor-mance from junior outside hitter Tai Manu-Olevao, who had 21 kills and 59 as-sists. The Rainbow Wahine hit an impressive .611 in the fifth and final set on 18 at-tempts to finish off Irvine.

The Titans were coming off a 3-1 loss to the afore-mentioned Anteaters last Friday. They hit just .099

for the match, but there were several positives to take away from the game. Niki Withers had 17 kills, and junior setter Macken-zie Olsen had a double-dou-ble with 36 assists and 10 digs.

CSUF went on a 4-1 run in the first set to tie the frame at six. Hawaii went on a 3-0 run sparked by a service ace from Kalei Greeley. The Rainbow Wa-hine kept the Titans at bay for the remainder of the set, and blocks from Kalei Adolpho and Nikki Tay-lor sealed the opening-set win.

Neither team hit well in the first set, with Fullerton hitting .152 and Hawaii hit-ting .182, and both teams committing seven errors.

Megan Kurz was the of-fensive star for the Titans in the second set, posting four of her 11 kills. Unfortunate-ly for CSUF, the rest of the team only contributed four kills and fell 25-14 in the set to go down 2-0. Hawaii went on a 12-3 scoring run due to the serving of Gree-ley and their impressive blockers.

CSUF hit minus .027

on 37 attempts in the sec-ond set compared to Ha-waii who hit .300 on 30 attempts.

The third and final set was much more competi-tive, but it was too late for the Titans. The teams trad-ed leads twice and were tied eight times. Hawaii went on a 9-2 run in the middle of the frame and never turned back. A service error from freshman Stephanie Buss gave Hawaii the final point and their fourth consecutive win.

The match was the first time Fullerton has been swept since Oct. 3, which also came against Hawaii at the Stan Sheriff Center.

The Titans failed to hit over .100 in a match against Hawaii this season, hitting just .094 Saturday. Holland Crenshaw hit .200 on 15 at-tempts and Withers hit .194 on 31 attempts.

Notably absent from the Titan lineup was McKenna Painton. Painton played out-side hitter for four matches, recording a double-double in each. She put the libero jersey back on against UCI and had zero attempts on offense. Saturday was the

first match Painton has not played this season.

Hawaii is one of three Big West teams in the top 40 of the NCAA RPI rank-ings. They currently sit in second place in the con-ference with an 8-2 Big West record, only trailing

Long Beach State who is a perfect 9-0 in conference play.

The Rainbow Wahine will clash with Long Beach State Friday in Honolulu in a key Big West matchup. Long Beach beat Hawaii in five thrilling sets on Oct. 11

at the Walter Pyramid.The Titans hit the road

next weekend to play UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. CSUF lost to both the Gauchos and the Mustangs in four sets earlier this season at Titan Gym.

Four former Cal State Fullerton men’s basket-ball players were se-lected in the 2014 NBA Developmental League Draft on Saturday.

The first Titan selected was D.J. Seeley as the first pick of the second round. He was named to the Big West Conference First Team in 2011-12.

Omondi Amoke was selected four picks lat-er by the Grand Rap-ids Drive. His 273 re-bounds in 2011-12 were the fourth most in a single season in CSUF history.

Michael Williams was selected by the Sioux Fall Skyforce. He led the Titans in scoring with 17.4 points per game last season.

Sammy Yeager was selected by the Los An-geles D-Fenders. He set a CSUF record for three-point percentage in 2012-13.

The Cal State Fuller-ton women’s tennis team completed play at the Jack Kramer Invitation-al in Rolling Hills Estates, California on Sunday.

Sophomore Camille De Leon performed well Sunday, earning the only victory for the Titans on the day. The remaining Ti-tans in action all dropped their singles matchups to close out play.

Doubles play was cancelled Saturday due to inclement weath-er. On Sunday however, CSUF struggled against their opponents from NC State, dropping both matches.

Fullerton finished 18-49 in singles action and 10-18 in doubles play during the fall season.

The Titans’ fall slate has now been completed, and they will begin action again on Jan. 14 when Cal State Los Angeles comes to town.
