Three vie to be dean of arts

A new dimension in printing

Event will serve up student questions

The recently purchased 3-D printers will shave significant time off student engineering projects, eliminating the need to send projects to off-site manufacturers. MARIAH CARRILLO / DAILY TITAN

Adrián Tió, Nan Goggin and Noel Zahler, the three candidates for dean of the College of Arts, visited campus last week to make their case presentation and answer questions from the campus.

“I think the search com-mittee did an excellent job at finding candidates that were qualified for the po-sition. All three have great and different strengths that are truly in need for the College of the Arts,” said John D. Spiak, director of Cal State Fullerton Grand Central Art Center.

A search committee will decide who to elect.

Adrián Tió

Tió’s background in art is well noted. Tió serves as the current dean of the Col-lege of Visual and Perform-ing Arts at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. He received degrees from both Temple University and the University of Cincinna-ti, doing post-baccalaureate study at the Tyler School of Art in Rome.

During his presentation, he emphasized how much fundraising is more about “friendraising” — build-ing good relationships with people.

As dean at Massachu-setts Dartmouth, Tió said he learned how to collab-orate with drawing peo-ple, historians, the visu-al arts, as well as different artists throughout the the-ater, dance and music departments.

Teaching is something dear to Tió, he said, adding that he’s always intrigued by student work.

“Every now and then, I will put something out there for a group of students and someone will come up with a solution I didn’t see coming, and that’s what I like, that ‘a-ha moment,’” Tió said. “Students always teach me probably as much as I teach them, and that’s the beauty of teaching.”

Nan Goggin

Goggin is currently the director of the School of Art Design at the Uni-versity of Illinois, Urba-na-Champaign and also serves as the art editor of Ninth Letter, the arts and literary project produced by the School of Art and Design’s Graduate Creative Writing Program.

Goggin did her under-graduate work at Michigan State, earned her Master of Fine Arts from the Uni-versity of Florida and is an award-winning designer and known pioneer of elec-tronic art.

Goggin explained to fac-ulty that she considers art a collaborative effort.

“To me, the arts is a place where people con-nect. It’s a place where thinking happens collec-tively,” Goggin said.

Committee will vote on which candidate to hire as new head of College of the Arts

In a massive machine shop filled with lathes, band saws and comput-er controlled mills, three brightly-lit 3-D printers look unimposing, but they represent a paradigm shift in engineering.

Weeks ago, the College of En-gineering and Computer Science bought the Airwolf 3D HD2x from a Costa Mesa-based manufacturer and within a day, students were us-ing the printer to create custom ob-jects made from durable plastic.

Just a decade ago, the kind of 3-D printing being done in the Cal State Fullerton machine shop was done on extremely high-priced machines in the workshops of engineering and design corporations.

Now, students can take the 3-D models they are designing in their classes using software like Solid-Works or Pro/ENGINEER and print them directly to see how they func-tion in the real world.

“If we can design it on a screen, we can manufacture it directly,” said Raman Unnikrishnan, Ph.D., dean of the College of Engineering

and Computer Science. “The near future is already here.”

As student engineers work on their senior design projects, the 3-D printers can cut out multiple stages of the engineering process. Students no longer need to send their designs to a manufacturer to create a mold and then wait for the manufacturer to send it back, the 3-D printers can print the projects in a few hours in the machine shop.

“It shortens the design cycle for sure,” Unnikrishnan said. “Students have very limited time, a semes-ter goes by very quickly when you have a lot of complicated engineer-ing projects.”

The objects created by the printer can be a final product, but often they are a stage of engineering. Once a part is printed, the engineer may realize that it needs to be slightly smaller or other adjustments need to be made. With the new printers, the engineer can go back on the com-puter, make modifications and have a new model on very short notice.

Once the design is finalized, molds of it can be made and the finished product can easily be mass produced.

Parts can even be downloaded from the Internet and printed di-rectly, said Jonathan Woodland, the mechanical technician and

graduate student who oversees the machine shop.

Grab a slice of pizza and serve up your questions.

Cal State Fullerton Pres-ident Mildred García and Associated Students, Inc. President Harpreet Bath will host “Pizza with the Presidents” Thursday at noon in an effort to inter-act with students, facul-ty and campus communi-ty through an open-forum discussion.

Hosted once a semes-ter, the event gives stu-dents a chance to ask ques-tions and air their concerns to a panel that includes García, Bath and universi-ty leaders.

“I’m always open to any-thing (students) want to talk about,” Bath said. “I think any and all ques-tions are open, and I’m just very excited to talk to our students.”

The event’s goal is to make students more com-fortable asking questions about CSUF directly to

the university and stu-dent body presidents, Bath said.

The open dialogue

format of the event fosters a sense of accountability, transparency and connec-tion between students and

the university, he added. “Most of the time we’re

focused solely on con-cerns, but there’s also a lot of good things that are happening at this univer-sity that students get a chance to hear about, stu-dents get a chance to listen about and really feel good about,” Bath said.

Students are encouraged to participate by asking questions about the pres-idents, future university plans, the current state of Associated Students and CSUF, or any issues they have concerns about.

Previous “Pizza with the Presidents” events have ad-dressed topics such as the university strategic plan, budget cuts, the campus smoking ban and the Stu-dent Success Initiative fees.

“It’s how we communi-cate and connect with our students. We connect one-on-one,” Bath said. “We want our students to feel good about being here.”

The Iraqi govern-ment reported more than 300 Iraqi Sunnis were killed by ISIS in a series of recent ex-ecutions, according to CNN.

The 322 victims were part of the Albu Nimr tribe. The latest execution occurred Saturday, when ISIS militants reported-ly took tribe members from their homes to the nearby town of Hit, killing 75 people.

Hit has been at the center of the conflict between ISIS fighters and Albu Nimr mem-bers. Last month, ISIS captured the city after weeks of fighting with tribe members.

A Pentagon spokes-man said there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of the num-bers reported by the Iraqi government.

Police have iden-tified the driver of the vehicle that killed three teenage girls Friday night, accord-ing to the Orange County Register.

The suspect, 31-year-old Jaquinn Ramone Bell, was ar-rested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run causing death.

Witnesses pro-vided information to Santa Ana Police De-partment officers, al-lowing them to link Bell to the accident that killed Andrea Gonzales and Lexi and Lexandra Perez Huerta, all 13 years old.

He plead guilty on Aug. 4 to driving under the influence and hit-and-run with property damage, driving under the influence and two counts of child endan-germent in an incident that occurred Aug. 1.

San Bernardino County Sheriff ’s De-partment officers ar-rested a 32-year-old Colton man linked to a fatal triple shooting in Fontana Monday, ac-cording to the Orange County Register.

Christopher Lee Ja-son is being investi-gated for murder, as-sault with a deadly weapon and being an accessory to a felony after the Saturday af-ternoon shooting that killed one and wound-ed two.

F i f t y - o n e - y e a r -old Ronald Belk died at a hospital. One of the other victims, a 15-year-old, has been released from the hos-pital, while the third victim, a 48-year-old man, is still at the hos-pital with injuries that are not believed to be life threatening.

Deans: Committee to vote Goggin said she is at-

tracted to CSUF because she wants to go to a uni-versity that puts the stu-dents first. She mentioned that the CSUF mission statement shares the same sentiment.

Being honest and frank,

listening and double speak-ing are some of the things Goggin said she believes are vital to building a good rapport with faculty and students.

Noel Zahler

Zahler is a compos-er, author, teacher and

researcher. He received his bachelor’s at Queens Col-lege of the City University of New York, his Master of Fine Arts at Princeton and studied in Italy for a few years.

He’s led schools of music and interdisciplinary pro-grams at Carnegie Mellon University, University of

Minnesota and Connecticut College.

Zahler presented an abili-ty to obtain grants, using $2.5 million in funds he obtained to make the University of Minnesota School of Music an “all Steinway” school as an example.

“The way in which funders asses you is your track record,

not just in funding, but in the work that you’ve done,” Zahler said. “When we talk about interesting some-body in giving a substantial amount of money to an in-stitution, we’re really talking about the work of faculty and the students, and the passion they have and hopefully can discover in that donor.”

Executive Director of Associated Students, Inc. Fred Sanchez announced his plans to retire after nine years of operating Cal State Fullerton’s Associated Students.

His retirement will be ef-fective at the end of the cal-endar year.

Since 2005, Sanchez has had a hand in multiple uni-versity developments, in-cluding the development of the Student Recreation Cen-ter and the Children’s Cen-ter, which were completed under his administration.

His contributions to the university also include sup-port of both Associated Students and the Titan Stu-dent Centers in their en-deavors to maintain student involvement.

A growth in budget has allowed for an expansion

in student programming for both groups, Sanchez said.

Sanchez also had a role in the $20 million expansion of the Titan Student Union, which is currently in plan-ning stages.

The expansion of the Stu-dent Union will help serve CSUF’s growing population of nearly 40,000 students, Sanchez said.

“It is a new adventure for me, I’ve never retired before, but it’s time to re-tire,” Sanchez said. “I have a lot of interests that I want to pursue, and it’s going to be a good opportunity for me.”

Sanchez said he would like to see the Student Union built out according to the master plan that will al-low Associated Students to continue to increase student programming.

“I’d like to see continuing of expansion in program-ming, and opportunities for students to be engaged with the college,” Sanchez said.

Every day, approximately

7,000 students walk into the Student Union and over 3,000 walk in to the Recre-ation Center every day, San-chez said. Those numbers make the expansions par-ticularly impactful on the campus population.

“My accomplishment is enabling all of this to hap-pen,” Sanchez said. “I am proud of what we did.”

After his near de-cade-long tenure at CSUF, Sanchez said his retirement is an opportunity to explore something new.

“Fred has been a terrific advocate for students and the mission of the universi-ty, and in the role (Associat-ed Students) plays in student life,” said Director of Titan Student Centers Kurt Borst-ing. “He really helps bring their vision to life.”

Associated Students has an important role on cam-pus and the next executive director will have to con-tribute to student success and student government, Borsting said.

It’s not easy catching the nation’s highest court mak-ing a mistake, and it’s even harder to get the court to ad-mit to it. But that’s exactly what a UC Irvine law profes-sor did.

Richard L. Hasen, chan-cellor’s professor of law and political science for UC Ir-vine, played a part in a his-toric moment when Su-preme Court Justice Ruth

Bader-Ginsburg not only amended a mistake in a dis-sent she wrote on a Texas voter ID case, she also made a rare public announcement about it.

Hasen said he discovered the mistake after he wrote an article for Slate about a Texas law that prohibits peo-ple from using certain kinds of IDs when they went to vote.

The law, Texas Senate Bill 14, requires voters to pro-vide one of a few different forms of photo identifica-tion when they go to vote. These include valid Texas

driver’s licenses, state-is-sued ID cards, veterans IDs, concealed handgun licens-es, birth certificates and passports.

Hasen said the law makes other forms of photo iden-tification like student IDs inadmissible for voting purposes.

The law was challenged under the Voting Rights Act and brought before a trial judge who struck it down.

From there, the case made its way to the 5th U.S. Cir-cuit Court of Appeals, where the trial judge’s decision was reversed.

It was then argued be-fore the Supreme Court, which said Texas could use its new law in the Tuesday elections.

Justices Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomay-or joined in a dissent against the decision of the court.

In her dissent, Justice Ginsburg mistakenly wrote that veterans IDs would not be accepted under the Texas law.

Hasen quoted a portion of the dissent in his article where Ginsberg said veter-ans IDs would not be accept-ed under Texas’ new law.

“And so I put a post up on my election law blog, ask-ing whether or not this was in fact an error,” Hasen said. “Soon after, the Texas Secre-tary of State’s office tweet-ed at me and indicated that veterans IDs were indeed OK.”

Hasen said he then updat-ed his blog post and it was later picked up by a number of publications, including SCOTUSblog. He said that blog is followed by a num-ber of high ranking officials in the law world, includ-ing justices on the Supreme Court.

“About a day later, Jus-tice Ginsburg announced she was changing the opin-ion and eliminating that one sentence that contained the error,” Hasen said.

Hasen said that he was surprised when Ginsburg made her announcements because it’s a fairly un-common practice for Su-preme Court justices to an-nounce when they’ve made a mistake.

In most cases, judges will simply make corrections to their statement—sometimes years after the fact—without alerting the public to it.

Once a 3-D design is fed into the printer, a print-ing head heats up a bead of plastic filament fed from a spool attached to the ma-chine, much like a hot glue gun. Like pixels in a pho-to printed from a desktop inkjet printer, the head lays down line after line, start-ing from the bottom layer of the shape. Once the first lay-er is done, the printing tray moves down a notch and the machine starts on the next layer.

Layers build on each other until something that minutes ago only existed as a file in a computer becomes a sol-id, tangible object that a de-signer can hold in his or her hands.

The 3-D printers used in the machine shop retail for about $4,000, but Airwolf 3D provided discounts and free merchandise, as well as a second printing head add-on which allows printing two different colors or materials at the same time.

Unnikrishnan and Wood-land were impressed with the company when they vis-ited Airwolf 3D’s headquar-ters a few months ago and met with Airwolf 3D Pres-ident Mark Mathews and CEO Erick Wolf.

Since then, Wolf and Mathews have paid a visit to the College of ECS and this semester will be working with students on engineering senior projects.

Airwolf 3D was honored recently by the OC Tech Al-liance with a High-Tech In-novation Award in the Enter-prise Hardware and Device category.

• The material used to print objects on a 3-D printer is fed to the printing head from a spool mounted on the side of the printer.

• ABS plastic, nylon, high-impact polystyrene and a laundry list of other materials can be used to print 3-D objects.

• Two or more colors or materials can be used in the same object.

MATERIAL• Once an object is finished

printing, its application is determined by the task at hand.

• It can be a final, usable product, but it can also be a stage in the engineering process.

• If the object is found to be the wrong shape, or designed to the wrong specifications, it can be easily remade by adjusting the original 3-D computer model.

FINAL PRODUCT• Using a 3-D model designed in

software like SolidWorks or Pro/ENGINEER, the printing head moves on X and Y axes building the rows of material.

• Once a layer of the object is done printing, the printing tray that the object is sitting on moves lower and the printer beings the next layer.

MOVEMENT• The printing head heats

material to about 240 degrees Fahrenheit, operating similarly to a hot glue gun, albeit much more precisely.

• Starting with a small bead of plastic, it builds an object line by line and layer by layer until an object designed in a computer takes shape.

Revealing your sexual ori-entation can be distressing, as it changes others’ views on your personal identity. Simul-taneously divulging your im-migration status can amplify that emotional intensity and insecurity.

This was a reality for Julio Salgado.

Salgado, DREAM Act ac-tivist, showcases the reality of people living in the coun-try without legal permis-sion and the gay community through powerful, expressive and avant-garde drawings that have the ability to inspire. He has found a positive way to in-tersect the two sensitive issues together through expressive art, showcasing the brute real-ities of both worlds.

Salgado’s personal jour-ney of sexual identification is one that ignites inspiration and encouragement among students.

“The process of coming out is huge, but once you tell the person that you are either un-documented or queer … you still have to wait to be accept-ed,” said CSUF student Javier Marical.

Salgado effectively uses his art and life story to inspire Latino students to speak up and face the issues at hand.

CSUF art student Teresi-ta De La Torre said that as an artist who also creates art per-taining to social issues, Salga-do’s success as an activist in-spires her.

“It takes a lot of courage, to not only come out as un-documented, but also as a queer man. I just feel really

motivated that I can also come through with some of my struggles,” De La Torre said.

Considered an “artivist” (artist and activist), Salgado’s drawings speak to the thou-sands of undocumented immi-grants facing the harsh reali-ties of applying for citizenship. His ability to effectively com-municate undocumented and queer issues is what makes him inspiring to queer and un-documented students alike.

“As artists, we have to find a way to uplift our voices … We need to create art that challenges the media’s narra-tives and put our own narra-tive out there because that’s how we document our exis-tence,” Salgado said.

Despite the uplifting nature of his artwork, they are some-times considered taboo and unconventional; many of his art pieces display nudity and strong expressive language.

Salgado also became an activist for the DREAM Act, which permits certain immi-grants who have grown up in the U.S. to apply for cit-izenship under the circum-stance that they are attending college or served in the U.S. military.

An example of this off-beat art is of a student holding the middle finger up with the words, “I’d rather be undocu-mented than die for your ac-ceptance,” which was modi-fied after an iconic DREAM Act image of a student in a cap and gown.

This rendition was not warmly accepted by other DREAM Act activists, who said the painting perpetrated undocumented immigrants in a negative way.

“I don’t believe in going to other countries and shooting people, just to get papers. I re-spect people who choose to do

that, but that shouldn’t be my only option,” Salgado said.

Among those that don’t approve of his work and its use of expletive language is his mother, Salgado said. Al-

though he has great appre-ciation for what this coun-try has to offer, there are still issues at hand within the

undocumented culture that he believes should be surfaced.

Another issue that he advo-cates against is gentrification, the buying or renovation of houses and stores in deterio-

rated urban neighborhoods by upper or middle income fam-ilies or individuals, resulting in improving property values,

but often displacing low-in-come families and small busi-nesses. This has led to the people and their culture, who once occupied those areas, to diminish.

Salgado decided to tackle the issue and teamed up with People Organized in Defense of Earth and her Resourc-es, an environmental and so-cial justice organization who takes part in many anti-gentri-fication projects. Salgado and PODER created a billboard that highlighted the organiza-tion’s campaigns that contrib-uted to this effort.

Showcasing art as an un-documented immigrant can be terrifying, Salgado said. But he has come to terms

that as an individual, your freedom is dependent on the government.

Salgado said he is thank-ful for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Act, which allows immigrants who arrived before age 16 a two-year period to remain in the U.S. temporarily without fear of deportation, and a possi-bility of renewal. However, he still questions what will be-come of his parents who can-not apply for DACA.

“This idea that we are giving all this information to the government that they didn’t have before, and we don’t know how long it will stay around for, scares me,” Salgado said.

Government agencies sometimes do whatever they feel is necessary to accomplish their goal of catching people engaged in criminal activities.

However, there are times when even these agen-cies must ask themselves whether they are crossing the line.

In their pursuit of crim-inals, agencies like the FBI could be in the wrong themselves.

The FBI is taking heat from media organiza-tions for its shady tactics to catch a suspect involved in a bomb threat case, ac-cording to an AFP article. What they did could al-most be described as either childish.

In 2007, The FBI creat-ed a fake Associated Press news article hoping that the suspect would click the article, thereby revealing his location to the FBI.

The article would in-stall malware that would essentially track him and provide the FBI with his location.

The fake article, which appeared to be in the Se-attle Times, was then sent to the suspect’s Myspace account.

This disturbing infor-mation was only recently discovered when a securi-ty research for The Amer-ican Civil Liberties Union tweeted out a link to the case file.

Of course, the bureau is defending its actions in multiple ways.

According to the FBI, The Seattle Times was never named.

However, the fake site resembled that of the newspaper.

FBI agent Frank Mon-toya added in a statement to the Union that the tac-tic used in this particu-lar case is only used in what he described as “rare circumstances.”

That all may be fine and dandy to the FBI. Still, the

bureau’s decision to partici-pate in such a questionable

scheme should raise con-cerns on multiple levels, by

media and citizen alike.When the FBI associated

the AP and The Seattle Times with their fake sto-ry, they compromised ev-ery news outlet’s most pre-cious trait: credibility.

Every news source, edi-tor and journalist lives and dies by credibility.

Without it, trust is lost, and the delicate relation-ship between a news pro-vider and its readers could be annihilated.

It could singlehanded-ly derail and ruin a news agency’s reputation.

Needless to say, The Se-attle Times and AP are not happy.

Paul Colford, a spokes-man for AP, stated that the news agency found the FBI’s actions unacceptable, and that they violated the name and undermined the credibility of the AP.

The Seattle Time’s ed-itorial board went on to say the laudable part of the FBI’s attempt “did not jus-tify the government’s dis-regard of the role of the press in a free society.”

Secondly, there’s the is-sue of using the Internet to portray a false persona.

It wasn’t too long ago that State Farm poked fun at how easy it is to put up a false front on the Internet, since “they can’t put any-thing on the Internet that isn’t true.”

Overweight, dorky, fan-ny pack-wearing French models aside, it paints a very real picture of some-thing any Internet user should be wary of.

There is an online slang term known as “catfish.” A catfish is someone who creates a false, online iden-tity. Catfishing could be anything as simple from giving a fake name to creating full profiles in-cluding pictures and bio information.

The fact that a govern-ment agency used a method even remotely close to this dangerous activity should make the hair on every-one’s neck stand on end.

Sure, this time it was only a fake article, but it begs the question of what different fake entities the FBI might decide to create next.

Magic Johnson could be coming to talk at Cal State Fullerton in the spring. While it would be undeni-ably cool to have the former Laker Hall of Famer come to CSUF, his price tag seems beyond excessive.

By approval of the Asso-ciated Students, Inc. Board of Directors, Johnson could speak at CSUF for a whop-ping $90,000.

Of that $90,000, As-sociated Students has al-located $40,000 of their budget to the Business In-ter-Club Council to pay for

Johnson’s speaking fee. Additional funds to

meet the speaking price will come from Anil Puri, Ph.D., dean of the College of Business and Econom-ics, who will match As-sociated Students and do-nate $40,000 of his own money.

That $40,000 allocated from Associated Students comes directly from stu-dent fees. The same stu-dent fees that could be be allocated for music, art, theater and study abroad programs.

For reference, the funds allocated for Johnson to speak at CSUF equates to over a quarter of the en-tire arts exhibit budget ($152,400) for 2013-2014,

according to Associat-ed Student’s Instruction-ally Related Activities Budget.

The amount of mon-ey to be allocated for the one-time event did receive concerns from the board.

Members and executive staff expressed concerns over the relevancy of top-ics, funding and success

of the event. Additional-ly giving so much money to just one college might leave other colleges to ask why not us. Disappointing-ly, these concerns were not enough for the board to dis-miss the event.

CSUF is an educational institution first, and before Associated Students shells out $40,000 of student

money for Johnson to speak about business, it should make sure that all of its ed-ucational opportunities are fully funded first.

Cost aside, there must be someone better to address business students about business than a retired athlete.

Granted, Johnson has done quite well for himself post basketball career with his company, Magic John-son Enterprises, which has a net worth of more than $1 billion. Johnson himself is worth about $500 million.

That’s a rare feat for a NBA player, where 60 percent of players file bankruptcy with-in five years of retirement, according to personal bud-geting website Mint.com.

The insight Johnson can provide a college student is questionable at best. His path to business success differs significantly com-pared to the average CSUF student. Unlike Johnson, the average college student will probably not have in-ternational athletic fame to use as a crutch to improve their business prospects.

Bringing Johnson to CSUF with student money only begs the questions as to why.

Why are we paying $40,000? Most important-ly, why Magic Johnson?

Despite the publicity Johnson would bring if he spoke on campus, the ex-citement of Johnson does not justify his cost.

Magic Johnson will break the bank

The insight Johnson can provide a col-lege student is questionable at best... Un-like Johnson, the average college student will probably not have international athlet-ic fame to use as a crutch to improve their business prospects.

The cost to have Magic Johnson speak at Cal State Fullerton for one night could pay for the annual fees of multiple student clubs, organizations and athletics. This money could be put to better use

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

You don’t always love organizing people, but today you can tell that it’s vital for getting any-thing done. Take all the time you need to get all your people on the same page -- it’s worth it!

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

It’s not just you -- people really are more irritat-ing today! That doesn’t mean you’ve got a free pass to be snarky or mean, but you can at least beg off from some of the worst offenders.

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

Now is a great time to think more carefully about your life and what it means. Things are definitely getting more interesting, and your amazing mental energy should bring on some new insights.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

People are all over the map when it comes to intellect and ideas today -- and it may be your job to wrangle them all into agreement. That’s tough, but your diplomacy is enhanced, so try it anyway.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

It’s time to adapt to that one person or problem that has been bothering you so much. Things are still good but you just can’t be sure of what comes next if you don’t shift your perspective.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

Your routines change just enough for you to no-tice -- but not so much that they start to make you nervous. It may be a long-term transition toward something more sustainable, so cultivate it.

LIBRA(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

You may startle yourself early today with a new insight into an old friend or loved one. It’s not a game-changing reveal, but it should help you to understand them on a deeper level.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

Conflicting ideas make life a little tougher for you and your people today -- but you shouldn’t just cover up the disputes. Get the arguments out in the open and you should get to the truth.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

You connect with someone new who changes the way you see your job, education or other im-portant element of life. It’s a good time for long discussions and for thinking through big issues.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

Money becomes an issue for you today -- but you need to try to deal with it as directly as you can. The problem may feel amorphous, but you should start to understand it before long.

AQUARIUS(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18):

Your brilliant mind pops out with another mil-lion-dollar idea -- though you may be less in-terested in milking it than in just watching it go. Your amazing energy helps you get it off the ground.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

Take a break from all the self-recrimination! You need to chill out and let yourself make mistakes from time to time -- that’s how we learn and grow.

Updating you from the newsroom and around the campus.

The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team has three words etched in their minds––effort, energy and enthusiasm. The words have been echoed throughout Ti-tan Gym by Head Coach Daron Park since he was hired in 2013.

In 2013-14, the players embraced Park and his cre-do; and beat every Big West Conference team at least once with the exception of conference champion Cal State Northridge.

The preparation for this season is not much different than it was for his first sea-son at CSUF, despite having six returning players and his first recruiting class.

“I’m very steadfast in my beliefs and regimented in our system,” Park said. “The three E’s need to be recog-nized every single day, and I would say for the most part the team has done a great job of understanding that.”

The glaring difference be-tween the team last season and this season is that half the roster is new to CSUF.

“It’s been refreshing to see the returning players guide the new players. They have experience in our system and the way we do things, and are comfortable,” Park said. “I can’t say enough about the way that the returners have given their time and energy to help our new players.”

Last season, the Titans struggled at the beginning of the year, owning a 1-8 re-cord going into winter break and losing one of their top

players to a leg injury in the first game. The coach-ing staff was concerned with day-to-day improvement more than their non-confer-ence record.

But losing is something that Park has never experi-enced before. He had only one losing season as a Divi-sion I assistant coach before he was hired at CSUF.

“I’m always looking at the score. Losing is never ok, and there is no such thing as moral victories,” Park said. “We played a tremendous-ly difficult schedule last fall against teams that had post-season experience, top-25 teams and teams in pow-er five conferences on their home court. But throughout that process, I felt that we improved every day and you saw that as we had some nice wins later in the season.”

Wins are more of a con-cern for Park and his staff, and the goal for the team is to have the first winning sea-son at CSUF in 23 years.

“We have to do a lot of things better than they have ever been done in this pro-gram. We have to play ex-tremely hard on the defen-sive end, rebound, score and do everything better,” Park said. “It’s very easy to lose basketball games; and it’s hard to win. We’re spend-ing a lot of time this presea-son talking about dozens of things we can do to ensure that we can win more games than we’ve lost for the first time since 1991.”

The Titans finished the season strong last year, earn-ing huge victories over tough Big West opponents such as Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Long Beach State and Ha-waii. Key players returned

like Samantha Logan, who was named to the All-Big West Freshman team, and Chante Miles, who is one of the top point guards in the conference.

“Every year is different. We could go out and win every conference game or lose every conference game, and I don’t think it has any-thing to do with what we did last year. We are a different team than we were last year, and so is every other team in the Big West,” Park said. “I hope that we have good wins in December like we did last year and we can car-ry that momentum into the

conference season.”Three players who were in

the starting lineup last sea-son are returning, and five of the six returners saw sig-nificant playing time last season. The coaching staff hasn’t picked a starting line-up yet, and the players are competing for minutes.

“Every spot is wide open, and it’s up to the players to earn their minutes. We are deeper and bigger than last year,” Park said. “We want to have lineups that com-plement each other well and match bigs with shooters and ball handlers so that we are well balanced.”

Park is holding his cards close to his chest regarding his lineup, but it is expect-ed that Miles, an All-Big West Honorable Mention player, will see a lot of min-utes this year. She scored over 20 points five times last season.

“Every year, one player surprises you. It’s the best feeling when you sit in a staff meeting and say, ‘we simply can’t afford to take her off the floor, and last year that was Chante. She has a rep-utation now and I hope oth-er players follow her lead,” Park said.

The new look Titans bring

a lot of enthusiasm and pas-sion to the court. The return-ers and newcomers have de-veloped a chemistry that is contagious.

“You’re going to see a team that has a lot of fun playing basketball, and the fans at Titan Gym will see it and have fun too,” Park said. “They are intent on repre-senting CSUF in a positive manner, and when you watch us, you will feel that.”

The Titans have an ex-hibition game against Cal Baptist Friday at Titan Gym and open their regular sea-son Nov. 16 at home against Montana State.

Daron Park is looking to continue building up the Cal State Fullerton program one game at a time by utilizing more depth and talent than the program has had in the team’s recent history.WINNIE HUANG / DAILY TITAN FILE PHOTO
