The Cal State Fuller-ton women’s soccer team will play the Idaho State Bengals Thursday at Titan Stadium.

The Titans enter play with a 1-5-2 record overall and are coming off a 1-0 loss to the Loyola Mary-mount Lions. Head Coach Demian Brown’s team has lost 12 of its last 13 games dating back to last season.

Offense has been a con-stant struggle for the Ti-tans. Their win over

Fresno State last week was the first game in which they scored multiple goals since October of last sea-son. They have scored just seven goals in eight games this season, and no Titan player has scored multiple goals thus far.

Junior forward Rebecca Wilson is one of the more dangerous shooters for the Titans. She has 16 shots this season and seven of them have been on goal. Her seven shots on goal are tied for the most on the team, but only one of those shots has found the back of the net.

Wilson was All-Big West Honorable Mention in 2012 as a sophomore and missed

all but five games in 2013 with a leg injury.

The good news for the Titans is that Idaho State’s defense is far from un-beatable. The Bengal de-fense allows 3.2 goals per game and have allowed eight goals in their last two games.

Junior Sheridan Hapsic has started all but one of the Bengals’ games this season. The San Clemente native is off to a rough start, allowing 10 goals in just four games. Her .542 save percentage is the lowest in the Big Sky Conference among qualifi-ers. However, she had five shutouts for the Bengals in 2013 and her team won sev-en games with her in net.

The Titan defense on the other hand has done a good job of keeping the oppo-sition off the scoreboard. Sophomore Jennifer Stu-art has started the last four games for the Titans in goal. She has allowed just three goals this season, and has 11 saves. Her .786 save percentage is second in the Big West Conference among qualifiers behind Taylor Jern of UC Davis.

Morgan Batcheller, Jazzmin Mancilla and Col-leen Ortega lead the Ti-tan defense. Only 29 shots have been put on goal this season thanks to their de-fensive efforts.

Discoverfest is no more. The event’s new incarna-

tion, Days of Discovery, is designed to give students and clubs a more focused experience. The now three-day event groups organi-zations into categories and allocates one day for each group.

Days of Discovery will allow a record-breaking amount of 259 clubs to par-ticipate, making it the larg-est congregation of par-ticipating clubs for the twice-a-year event.

Day one showcased ac-ademic and exploration themed clubs, including col-lege-specific clubs and de-partmental honor societies. Day two focused on leader-ship and action related clubs like Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), sports clubs and greek organizations. The final day showcased advo-cacy, social justice and ser-vice themed clubs such as cultural, faith and political organizations.

The change from Discov-erfest came in part as a re-sult of feedback gathered from student surveys. Con-gestion issues that made it difficult for some students to participate came up in the survey responses, and the new format was devised to address the clubs’ concerns, said Jamaar Walker, coor-dinator of Student Life and Leadership.

Those concerns included a lack of space and inade-quate time for clubs to reach out to potential members. Days of Discovery takes place on the TitanWalk to make the event more con-venient for both clubs and students, a shift from Dis-coverfest’s location in the Quad.

Discoverfest took place during the second week of the semester, but as Days of Discovery, the event has been shifted to the third week to allow stu-dents extra time to prepare beforehand.

“We identified with al-lowing the students to get a little bit more time to get prepared, get their academ-ics settled and then get into some of their club business which is why we moved it back,” Walker said.

Some clubs would have preferred for the event to happen a week earlier, be-cause it would have giv-en organizations more time to begin their own events, said Jonathan Kwok, the ASI chief communication officer.

“I like the changes so far,” said Shanon Winston, chair of fundraising for the American Society of Safe-ty Engineers. “The last time I was at Discoverfest there were so many clubs on multiple days. It made it hard for students to actually know what club to go to be-cause there was so many.”

Making the event more streamlined works in the clubs’ favor as well, Kwok said.

“I think it’s worked well for us,” he said. “We’ve been able to showcase parts of the organization through-out the different days.”

Fullerton City Council unanimously approves the $281,118 purchase of 140 body cameras. MARISELA GONZALEZ / DAILY TITAN

SEE SOCCER 8

The Fullerton City Coun-cil voted unanimously Tues-day to purchase 140 body-worn cameras for use by Fullerton Police officers.

The $281,118 purchase comes from asset seizure funds and provides for the purchase and storage of cameras from TASER In-ternational. The purchase includes a five-year contract to buy new equipment at the two and five-year marks to accommodate quickly ad-vancing video technology. The agreement is not to ex-ceed $650,354.

Fullerton Police Chief Dan Hughes addressed the council regarding the ben-efits of the cameras. Field tests by Fullerton Police of-ficers have shown that the knowledge that interactions with police are being record-ed on video improves the behavior of both the officer and the person the officer is interacting with, Hughes said.

Video would be stored re-motely “in the cloud,” and officers will not be able to

delete video, Hughes said. The cameras would re-

place digital audio record-ers currently worn by of-ficers. The devices loudly beep when activated by the officers and will not be used to film victims of sexual vi-olence or witnesses who fear retaliation. Hughes also considered recommenda-tions by the American Civil Liberties Union which rec-ommends keeping camer-as recording throughout the officers’ shifts and retaining recordings for only as long as they’re needed.

Hughes cited a study per-formed by the Rialto Police Department and the Institute of Criminology at the Uni-versity of Cambridge, which showed a 59 percent reduc-tion in use-of-force incidents and an 88 percent reduction in citizen complaints in cas-es where officers were wear-ing cameras.

If an interaction does re-sult in a use of force, the in-cident will be flagged for later review. Incidents that result in an arrest will also be flagged.

Hughes expects to receive shipment of the cameras within 30 days and expects training to be completed by the end of November.

The nearly-$300,000 purchase will supply body-worn cameras to Fullerton officers

House votes to arm rebels in Syria

Scotland to vote on indepence

Air Force omits ‘so help me god’

DTBRIEFS

The U.S. House of Representatives vot-ed Wednesday to ap-prove President Barack Obama’s plan to arm Syrian Rebels in the fight against the Islamic State militants, accord-ing to the Los Angeles Times.

The plan passed with a 273-156 vote. How-ever, lawmakers from both parties are still deeply reluctant.

Both Democrats and Republicans fear Obama is arming and training a force whose abilities and trustwor-thiness have yet to be tested. There is also a lingering fear that Amer-ican troops will eventu-ally need to be deployed on the ground, despite Obama’s continued promises not to do so.

The Senate is expect-ed to give final passage Thursday.

The United States is keeping a nervous eye on one of its closest friends, pending today’s Scottish Independence Referendum, according to CNN.

A yes vote would cause the 300-year-old United Kingdom to split. The U.S. has said very little on the matter, though there are some concerns amongst officials.

One of the U.S.’s con-cerns is of national se-curity. Britain’s nucle-ar arsenal is housed at the Royal Navy’s base on the Scottish West Coast, putting the Tri-dent Nuclear Program’s future into question. What would happen to the nuclear weapons remains unclear.

There is also an un-certainty if Scotland would decide to con-tribute to western mil-itary coalitions, if they had the ability to.

The U.S. Air Force will now allow airmen to omit the phrase “so help me God” from their en-listment oaths, accord-ing to the Washington Post.

The issue received national attention after a letter from the Amer-ican Humanist Associ-ation outlined a case in which an airman was unable to complete his reenlistment. The air-man had struck out the phrase on a form.

Secretary of the Air Force, Deborah Lee James said that the Air Force is making appro-priate adjustments to ensure the protection of airmen’s rights.

The new change in policy is effective im-mediately, according to a statement made by the Air Force.

Newly formed clubs make their mark

Days of Discovery wel-comed new organizations and clubs this year with over 15 new clubs includ-ing: TEDx, Foster Future and Spanish for Health Services.

TEDx

TED (Technology, Ed-ucation and Design) is a huge community built on-line where they get togeth-er to talk about a variety of topics from biological im-pacts to the importance of artwork, said Brian Bur-gess, treasurer of TEDx and fourth-year accounting student.

“We started TEDx at Cal State Fullerton in order to build a community around people who are interested in the ideas of TED,” Bur-gess said.

The club will be bring-ing in members who are interested in TED’s ideas,

building a community, and sparking intellectual conversations.

“More importantly, next fall what we want is to have the TEDx conference at CSUF,” Burgess said. “We have to meet numerous criteria in order to make this event happen, and we are using this club as a springboard to make that happen.”

The sign-up list received 60 contacts within one hour during Days of Discovery, Burgess said.

Foster Future

Foster Future is dedicat-ed to helping disadvantaged students through informa-tion workshops and fellow-ship activities, said trea-surer and senior business student, Giang Nguyen.

Gary Gass, president and co-founder, said that aside from foster youth, they will also be working with kids from low-income families and single-parent families.

“We try to motivate them and inspire them to go to school ... because most

kids do not have that col-lege role model,” Gass said. “Only 2 percent of foster youth go to college and only 1 percent of that 2 percent graduate.”

Foster Future will be working with Orangewood Children’s Foundation to volunteer and increase their awareness to help foster youth, Gass said.

Spanish for Health Services

Gloria Gallardo, presi-dent of the club and dou-ble major in biology and health science, founded the club to provide stu-dents with an opportunity to learn medical terminol-ogy and other health-re-lated services in Spanish. The service would improve how Spanish-speakers in-teract through the lan-guage barrier with medical professionals.

“The lessons are done in English, but the terminol-ogy and dialogue that we learn is in Spanish,” Gal-lardo said. “The nursing department provided us

with simulation labs where it looks like a hospital with anatomy structures.”

Gallardo started this club to encourage health-care providers to learn how to deal with minorities.

“It is encouraged that you know Spanish. It is kind of a force thing

because immigration pop-ulation has increased,” Gallardo said.

The main goal for Gal-lardo is for people to come out knowing more than what they did when they came into the club and be-ing able to apply what they learned.

West Nile Virus spreads through Orange County

Mosquitoes have become more than just a nuisance in Orange County. The in-sects are now a health hazard as West Nile Virus spreads across Orange County, an is-sue that came up during the Fullerton City Council meet-ing Tuesday.

Jared Dever, director of communications for the Or-ange County Vector Control District (OCVCD), present-ed to the council how serious West Nile Virus is becoming in Orange County.

The virus is transmitted to mosquitoes after they feed on infected blood from birds. It lives in the mosquito and is transferred to another host, including humans, by a mos-quito bite.

Currently there are 127 re-ported human cases of West Nile, making 2014 the worst year on record for West Nile infections since 2004 when the virus was first found in Orange County.

Early indications of the virus started in Santa Ana and it has worked its way to Fullerton.

The city currently has 10 reported human cases of West Nile, a significant num-ber given the area’s infection rate over the past nearly 10 years, Dever said.

“To put that in perspective, we have only had 30 human cases in the last nine years in the city of Fullerton and al-ready 10 (cases) this year,” he said.

Three human deaths re-sulting from West Nile virus have already been recorded this year in Orange County, another indication of the se-verity of the virus this year. A total of nine people died from the disease between 2004 and 2013.

Mosquitoes are some of the most prevalent transmit-ters of the disease, prompting OCVCD to shift resources

away from other pest control efforts to deal with mosqui-toes specifically.

“The district has suspend-ed our rat service requests and our bait refill until Nov. 15,” Dever said. “We have done this to shift our person-nel over to our mosquito con-trol efforts to make sure that we have the maximum effort in mosquito control during this season.”

The OCVCD is trying to spread awareness of the se-verity of the West Nile out-break and educate residents about what they can do to pre-vent the spread of the virus.

Public health warnings, signs with information on what to do about problemat-ic water systems, and infor-mation on what homeown-ers can do to stop the virus’ spread all factor into their campaign.

The OCVCD recommends wearing bug repellent when outdoors, keeping windows and doors closed and keeping screens in good repair, and eliminating any standing wa-ter in our homes.

The control district also encourages residents to call and inform them of any dead birds, mosquito bites and ne-glected pools, as these can all be tested for the disease.

Fullerton City Council heard plans from the Orange County Vector Control District to stop the spread of West Nile Virus.

In an effort to address a per-sistent presence of homeless people in parking structures, Fullerton City Council unan-imously voted Tuesday to en-act an ordinance restricting use of city-owned structures to vehicle parking needs.

The ordinance specifically addresses multiple incidents of structures being used for drinking, urination, defeca-tion, vandalism and theft as noted by the Fullerton Police Department.

The council members agreed that parking structures in the city, and particularly in downtown Fullerton need to be regulated in such a way that would reduce the pres-ence of homeless people in the

structure. Employees and patrons

of Fullerton businesses have taken issue with the number of homeless people using the parking structure as shelter.

David Arnold, owner of Sa-lon Lujan in downtown Ful-lerton, said many of his cli-ents have complained about the loitering situation in the structure.

“They use the public park-ing structure as their home and their restroom,” Arnold said. “They pass out in the stairwells where our elderly clients have to step over them. They urinate and defecate in the parking structure. They use the park bench for their drug deals and lounge there throughout the day.”

Parking structures are more problematic than regu-lar parking lots because it is easier to hide inappropriate or illegal behavior in parking

structures, mayor of Fullerton Doug Chaffee said.

Coral Ray, employee of Sa-lon Lujan, said she is sick of the city neglecting the clean-liness of the parking structure at Wilshire. Beer bottles from nearby bars litter the struc-ture, she said.

“We have clients that are in their 70s that have to walk down these stairs everyday and they can fall on these bot-tles,” Ray said.

Chaffee said that his priori-ty is two-fold.

“One is to get rid of the en-campments, the panhandling and all that nuisance that we have been talking about so that we have a city that has a reputation that is good and solid for business and healthy for its people,” Chaffee said. “At the same time to find a humane way to take care of the homeless people.”

Part of the issue is a

shortage of police officers, Chaffee said.

“You can have all the laws you want, but if no one is there to enforce them–it doesn’t matter,” Chaffee said.

He hopes to have a ser-vice day where no cars will be parked in the structure and members of the community will be provided tools by the city to clean and repair the structure.

“I think it’s a no-brainer that we pass this ordinance,” said council member Jenni-fer Fitzgerald. “We need some real solutions for the down-town, I think it’s silly that we’ve taken this long to do this.”

Chaffee said there is al-ready a motion in place to cre-ate a shelter in the Anaheim area for the homeless people to go.

Samuel Mountjoy contrib-uted to this report.

Council members agreed to regulate structures in order to preserve them for Fullerton business patrons.

Bands like One Direc-tion and Coldplay leave girls chanting their names at concerts and yelling out marriage proposals, leav-ing boys wishing they were in the band’s shoes.

However, none of these bands would have this ef-fect if it weren’t for the in-fluence of the classic boy bands of the ‘50s and ‘60s like The Beatles and The Kinks.

The Fullerton Museum is currently hosting an exhib-it on the British Invasion, which refers to the cultur-al phenomenon that swept America off its feet in the 1960s.

Rock and pop music acts from the United King-dom became wildly pop-ular during this time and top bands like The Roll-ing Stones and The Beat-les dominated the walls of fans with posters and pa-parazzi pictures.

The Ferry Cross the Mersey: The British Inva-sion exhibit, which will be open to the public through Nov. 9, features framed photographs and period ar-tifacts to capture the ambi-ance of the era.

Aimee Aul, the Fuller-ton Museum Center’s edu-cator, said she doesn’t want people to just focus on the British Invasion as one particular band.

She wants people to rec-ognize it as a movement of cultures.

“It was a musical, fash-ion, art and cultural revolu-tion that still resonates to-day,” Aul said.

The impact these bands had on America changed the ways of rock ‘n’ roll by combining musical styles

from places like Liverpool and American mainstream music, according to Aul.

An antique Vespa resides in the middle of a room of the museum, and not too far is an old fashioned gui-tar amplifier from VOX, an electronic brand that The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were publically fa-miliar with.

Vintage guitars in glass cases stare back at view-ers as they drip with histo-ry and the essence of great musicians that once played them.

There is even a series of assorted picture sleeves of The Fab Four over the course of their career.

A picture sleeve is the artwork or text refer-ring to the released mu-sic on the record rather than a normal record label advertisement.

Beatles fans were known for collecting the pic-ture sleeves of the quartet and other memorabilia on household items like cups and lunchboxes.

The blue walls of the museum were littered with

memorable quotes from British musicians, includ-ing Freddie and the Dream-ers and The Yardbirds.

Freddie and the Dream-ers were at their prime be-tween 1963-65. They were largely known for their silly dance routines while performing hit songs like I’m Telling You Now.

In one performance of the song on The Merv Grif-fith show in 1965, the band was doing a dance called “The Freddie” where they bounce and swing their legs side-to-side in sync to

the rhythm.An iconic photograph of

Freddie Garrity, the lead singer of the band, do-ing his signature leap on stage with one leg high-er than the other with a cheek-splitting grin and a microphone in his hand is displayed in the museum.

On the other hand, The Yardbirds are shown in a more relaxed nature per-forming in front of a fran-tic audience.

Though The Yard-birds weren’t as eccen-trically goofy in their

performances, they made up for it with their smooth guitar pieces and unique sound like the song Heart Full of Soul.

The wave of attention the British received from the U.S. left a lasting impres-sion that still resonates in the present generation.

This exhibit is perfect for music lovers who enjoy the history behind the mu-sic they listen to.

The Fullerton Museum is located on Pomona and Wilshire Avenue in down-town Fullerton.

The Fender exhibition showcases the instruments Leo Fender created. Design tables, famous guitars and informational videos fill the show’s space in addition to the British invasion show held in the Fullerton art Museum.

Larry Abraham Junies was placed in the foster care system when he was 1. He was sent to several different homes throughout his child-hood. He was constantly moving, and had to adapt to a new environment each time, which had some nega-tive repercussions.

School was always a struggle, Junies said.

Because he had to move so often, keeping up in school was not easy. This caused Junies to fall behind in school material.

“When I got into the fifth grade, I didn’t know how to read,” he said. “By the time I had gotten into the ninth grade, I didn’t know my times tables.”

Junies could not count the number of schools he at-tended from elementary to high school on his fingers.

He said from what he could remember he had attended a total of 11 schools.

Although Junies was neg-atively impacted by contin-uously moving as a foster youth, he was eventually placed with a nice family who helped him catch up in school and encouraged him to be his own person.

He now calls them his “aunt” and “uncle,” and said they have had the big-gest positive influence on his life.

The Guardian Scholars Program at Cal State Fuller-ton has also had a positive impact on him.

The program offers full scholarships to current and former foster youth stu-dents. Junies, 18, is one of the 12 deserving recipients of the award this year.

He learned about the Guardian Scholars Pro-gram while searching on-line for scholarships with

his uncle as a sophomore in high school.

Benefits of receiving the Guardian Scholarship in-clude a scholarship to cover the full cost of attendance, year-round on-campus

housing, priority regis-tration, mentoring and life-coaching workshops and many more.

Sara Gamez, director of Guardian Scholars at CSUF, said on average, 40 applica-tions are submitted to the office each year. Due to ca-pacity restraints, only 12 recipients get chosen to re-ceive the scholarship.

“It is a very tough deci-sion because there is a lot

of students that are very well-deserving and have great potential,” Gamez said.

Junies knew he met all the qualifications required. When he applied for the

program and found out that he had been chosen, he was ecstatic.

“We were so happy and relieved because now I don’t have to worry about paying for college,” Junies said.

Junies attended Granite Hills High School in Apple Valley, California where he created and hosted his own student talk show titled The Larry Junies Show. The audience consisted of 250

people and the show attract-ed viewers of all ages.

Since the show had paid admission, Junies planned to use the money to pay for his college education.

However, he no longer needed the money when he was accepted into the program.

During his senior award night, Junies gave away the scholarship money that he raised from his show to an-other student in need.

“That feeling was so won-derful to be able to do that at my senior award night,” Junies said.

Starting his freshman year of college at CSUF, Ju-nies is majoring in broad-cast journalism to fulfill his dream of being a talk show host. He said his biggest in-spirations are Steve Harvey, Oprah Winfrey and Ellen Degeneres.

He said the Guardian Scholars Program is the best

thing about college so far.“I’m not alone. It’s a dif-

ferent feeling when you know that you have a sup-port group,” Junies said.

Junies knows if he needs advice or help with any-thing, he can always talk to someone else from the program.

Despite the struggles he faced growing up, Junies persevered and is incredi-bly grateful to the Guard-ian Scholars Program to have been given this chance to achieve his dream of becoming the next Steve Harvey.

“So many times I want-ed to give up,” Junies said. “It was hard for me, not just schooling but my personal life. Changing from fami-ly to family, trying to figure out who loves you and who doesn’t and I’m a kid trying to figure out all that. One thing I did not do, I did not give up.”

Cal State Fullerton became the first smoke-free Cal State University cam-pus on Aug. 1, 2013. Not somewhat smoke-free. Not mostly smoke-free. Completely smoke-free.

The idea of smoke-free has devel-oped a controversial grey area with the growing popularity of e-cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are battery operated de-vices that are used to deliver nicotine, flavors and other chemicals into the us-er’s system.

The popular new trend is currently included in the campus-wide ban, and should remain so.

In recent years, it has become com-mon knowledge that smoking is known to cause many life-threatening diseas-es. Despite having an informed public, an estimated 42.1 million Americans (ages 18 and above) are smokers, ac-cording to reports from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Ciga-rette smoking is also the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States.

E-cigarettes are believed to be a healthier alternative by many of their users, since the devices produce vapor instead of smoke. E-cigarettes are even being marketed and used as a way to wean people off of real cigarettes. This leads some to believe that “vaping” should not be included in CSUF’s ban.

It is still not explicitly clear how ben-eficial or harmful e-cigarettes actual-ly are. E-cigarettes have not been fully researched yet, so consumers can’t be sure of the risks, the quantity of nic-otine and other potentially harmful chemicals being inhaled, or if any ben-efits actually do exist, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

This is not really an issue of if e-cig-arettes are beneficial or harmful. The real argument stems from who has the right to make a decision that affects so many students.

Vaporizing the e-cig debate The CSUF President’s Directive says the rights of e-cig users are the same as cigarette smokers

AL DOMINGUEZDaily Titan

Some have stated that it’s a constitu-tional issue, but it’s not.

Smokers’ rights have already been viewed and discussed within the court system. The common argument is that smoking should fall under the right to privacy and the equal protection laws. However, the courts have determined that smoking is not considered to be a fundamental right covered under either of these, as described by the California Department of Housing and Communi-ty Development. The reasoning is ex-tremely specific.

The courts have said that the only fundamental rights covered under pri-vacy are marriage, contraception, fam-ily relationships and the rearing and ed-ucation of children.

Smoking is not included in the few individual private acts that qualify as fundamental privacy interests.

Smokers are also not considered to be a similar group of people to be pro-tected under the equal protection claus-es of the California and U.S. govern-ments. They never have been, due to the fact that smoking is not characterized as an immutable characteristic. In other words, smokers weren’t born smokers, so they don’t qualify.

What this boils down to is who makes the decisions for each individual CSU campus.

That authority lies with the individ-ual CSU campus presidents, who were granted such power from the CSU Board of Trustees.

President’s Directive 18 states that CSUF is dedicated to providing a healthy and productive environment. Student, faculty and staff all fall un-der the ban, which also prohibits e-cigarettes.

Whether e-cigarettes prove to be a healthier alternative or not doesn’t mat-ter. Unless a higher ranking official within the university says otherwise, e-cigarettes are still listed as a part of the smoking ban and thus should re-main off campus.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

A meeting may go far too long this morning, so make sure that you’re keeping your remarks short and sweet. Things are sure to get weird if you don’t keep everyone on track today!

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

This is a hard time for thinking big -- try to focus on the small stuff if you want to succeed. Of course, eventual-ly you’ll have to look at the big pic-ture, but you should know when the time’s right.

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

It’s time for a change of some kind, so push yourself to try something new or at least to make a move. The further you go, the more likely you are to end up in exactly the right place.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

If it feels as if your workload is too burdensome, that’s because it is. You need to make sure that you’re not just taking it all on yourself, though -- make sure you’ve got reinforcements to help.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

You’ve got a unique way of seeing the world -- and today, that’s a hot commodity! You should be able to show others a fresh perspective that helps them to come to terms with a big problem.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

You can’t let emotion influence your judgment too much today -- it’s all about cold, hard logic. That might be hard to get across to people in your circles, but you can find a way to make it work.

LIBRA(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

You walk through a familiar door early today -- and end up somewhere entirely new and different! It’s not magic, just a shift in perspective that is almost certain to be overwhelm-ingly positive.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

You are already pretty careful with your actions -- as long as you know the risks. Today, though, you may not be fully informed. Tale care that you learn as much as you can before you get moving.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

Your mind takes a philosophical bent today, but it’s not so deep that you lose yourself entirely. You may find that someone new has arrived who can explain a difficult issue pretty easily.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

An email or phone message comes your way this morning that is much more important than you realize. Take it seriously and get right to work on it -- in fact, you may need to spread it around.

AQUARIUS(JA. 20 - FEB. 18):

Your creative energy is working its magic today -- so much so that you might find yourself in a very differ-ent place by tonight! Just go with it, because you’re sure to like where it leads.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

It’s an active, busy day -- even if you’ve got nothing planned! Events fill up empty schedules quickly, so be ready to say ‘no’ more than once as you try to reclaim some down time.

2640 W. Woodland Dr. | ANAHEIM | 714.220.2524 | IMPERIALSHOWGIRLSOC.COM

Stuart and the defense have two shutouts in the past four games.

Contrary to their defense, the Bengal offense is among the top in the Big Sky. They lead the conference in goals

per game with three. Senior forward Amanda Ellsworth leads the Big Sky in goals with six through five games played.

Freshman Maria Sanchez has contributed to the Ben-gals offense too. She has struck a team-high 24 shots

and has five goals in five games. Sanchez and Ells-worth are on top of the con-ference leaderboard in points and goals.

Idaho State has a 3-2 re-cord, but has yet to win a road game this season, suf-fering losses to Utah State

and Boise State. The Titans hope they can

find the net against the Ben-gals. They lead the confer-ence in shots and corners with 112 and 54 respectively, but can’t seem to score. The Bengals porous defense may reverse the Titans’ luck.

The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team will look to right the ship this week-end, after a 1-3-2 start to their season.

They will host the San-ta Clara Broncos Friday at 7 p.m. and the University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks Sunday at noon.

Santa Clara (4-1-1) comes into Fullerton riding a five-game shutout streak, includ-ing a scoreless draw against UCLA, the No. 1 team in the country.

The University of Nebras-ka-Omaha (3-2) lost 5-2 to UCLA in an Aug. 19 exhi-bition match, and dropped a 2-1 overtime match to No. 20 Stanford.

The Broncos and Mav-ericks played against each other earlier this season in Omaha, where the Broncos edged the home team 3-2 in double overtime.

Freshman forward Marc Fenelus and junior Julian

Okai lead the Titans in scor-ing with two goals each, which is half of the entire team’s total for the season.

CSUF is 6th in the Big West with just 1.3 goals per game and are last in the con-ference in shot percentage with .098.

The Titans’ record this season looks disappointing on paper.

However, the circum-stances under which they’ve lost gives the Titans a realis-tic hope to turn their season around.

All three of their loss-es have been by one goal, with the Titans often failing to capitalize on scoring op-portunities despite outshoot-ing their opponents 46-34 in their three losses.

The Titans rank second in the conference in shots with 82 on the season.

“It’s something we real-ly need to address because it’s not a trademark of teams that I coach,” said Head Coach George Kuntz of the Titans’ inability to score in key situations.

“You can’t really put a fin-ger on it, but I will tell you

that these guys are show-ing tremendous effort and passion.”

The lone victory for the Titans this season, a 4-3 comeback win against No. 14 University of Maryland, Baltimore County at the UNLV Nike Invitational, was a close game much like their losses.

The Titans scored their game-winning goal with 37 seconds remaining in the second overtime against the Retrievers.

Kuntz, who is entering his first season as head coach, says the lack of results so far is disappointing but un-derstandable considering the circumstances of this team.

“We’re all learning about each other,” Kuntz said. “We didn’t have the spring. We have new guys (and) dif-ferent goalkeeping. There’s a lot to learn about this team in crucial situations...they’re learning about me and what I expect from them, and I think I’m learning about them quite a bit as well.”

The lack of wins for CSUF is not due to a lack of

effort on their part.“So give these guys cred-

it. They’ve been tremendous at listening. Their attitude is phenomenal. They’re doing the absolute best that they can,” Kuntz said. “Now it’s just the execution, and that will come.”

Kuntz spent 19 seasons as head coach of the UC Irvine Anteaters and turned that program into a perennial soccer power.

He expressed his goals for this season, along with his big-picture plans for the Ti-tans in the coming years.

“We’re going to be a team that has attacking flare that’s not going to lack defensive-ly. (A team) that is going to have defenders who are very confident on the ball that can either possess or play against the physical teams. And this is what we’re try-ing to build towards,” Kuntz said.

After the games this weekend, the Titans have just one game left against Grand Canyon University before beginning Big West Conference play Oct. 2 at UC Davis.

The Titans have had trouble putting the ball in the net thus far in 2014. They have 82 shots, the second highest in the Big West, but have only scored eight goals. They host Santa Clara Friday and the University of Nebraska-Omaha Sunday at Titan Stadium.
