The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team wraps up a streak of six consecutive road games Sunday against Fres-no State at the Save Mart Center.

The Titans fell to the Bulldogs in the second game of the season last year 68-57 at the Titan Gym.

Point guard Chante Miles had a team-high 16 points and Hailey King had six rebounds in the loss.

CSUF is coming off a blowout 86-50 loss to a tough South Dakota team at the Dakota Dome.

They were unable to overcome a 21-2 deficit early in the game. Miles scored 16 points, mak-ing it the seventh time this season she scored in double-figures.

“That was a game that obviously we weren’t ready to play. We didn’t compete

and play to the level we’re accustomed to,” Park said. “Unfortunately in a long season, you have a game like that every now and again.”

The Titan defense was lackluster, allowing the

Coyotes to shoot 52.5 per-cent from the field and 44 percent from 3-point range.

They will have their hands full with a Fres-no State team that shoots 37.3 percent from beyond

the arc, with the sec-ond highest percentage in the Mountain West Conference.

They are led by Alex Sheedy, who is scoring 15.1 points per game.

The Australian native

scored in double figures 18 times last season and has carried the solid offensive play into this season.

Despite the Bulldogs’ av-erage scoring offense, they shoot very well from the field.

Their 42.1 field goal per-centage is the second high-est in the Mountain West, trailing Colorado State.

The Titans are a much better defensive team than they showed against South Dakota.

Their opponents are shooting 38 percent, which is the third best in the Big West Conference.

One weakness in Fuller-ton’s defense is their in-ability to force turnovers.

Their opponents only turn the ball over 11.1 times per game, three times fewer than any other team in the conference.

The upperclassmen of the Titans have carried Park’s squad as of late.

Four of the five start-ers are upperclassmen who have guided them to their three wins this season.

Being a beekeeper isn’t just gathering honey and distributing it into jars shaped like bears. In reali-ty, you become as busy as a bee—literally.

Expert beekeeper Lynne Gallaugher is the founder of the local business Bee La-dies. Established in 2006, Bee Ladies are a local group of women who sell honey at various Orange County farmers markets.

The honey they sell is raw and locally harvested in Or-ange County. The organic quality is what makes the Bee Ladies’ honey so ap-pealing to customers.

The raw honey stands can be found in Placentia, Huntington Beach, Fuller-ton, Chino Hills, Santa Fe Springs, Fountain Valley, Anaheim Hills, Costa Mesa and Newport Beach.

The Bee Ladies got their name after Gallaugher did a learning talk at a grade school in Yorba Linda. When she was leaving, the kids stood up from their lunch table and yelled, “Bye Bee Lady,” she said.

“I knew then, that was our name,” Gallaugher said.

She has had the bees for nine years. This past May, she bought one hundred new colonies of bees, which cost $10,000.

“I personally don’t make a ton of money doing this. I just keep bees alive,” Gal-laugher said.

Working with animals has always been a part of Gal-laugher’s life. She has worked in agriculture for 45 years. She attended Brea Olin-da High School and worked with livestock in the 4-H club, an agricultural club, and Future Farmers of America.

After high school, she

went to Mt. San Antonio College and majored in an-imal science. After deciding not to pursue that career, she attended Cal Poly Po-mona with a major in agri-culture business.

Even though she wasn’t fond of that field of study either, she admits that what she learned was beneficial.

“I still don’t really like that, but I’m very good at it—doing things in my head. If I have to sit down and be a business person, I don’t like that. But I’ve learned how to make pro-jections and calculate costs, and I do it all in my head,” Gallaugher said.

After college, she ran a floral company, selling flowers for 10 years.

“I feel very happy. Who would’ve thought I had to go through all those steps and go to college and end up being happy selling hon-ey in the street,” Gallaugher said.

In 2001, she got ill and took medicine that didn’t seem to work. Gallaugher bought three hives of bees, but lost two. Because she was too sick, her friend took the bees and housed them in her orchard.

The bees are a labor of love. They need to be fed with sugar syrup, and with

the amount of bees she has now, they eat about 10 buckets that she carries to them.

This intense involvement with the bees can some-times be taxing.

Gallaugher is currently recovering from a foot in-jury in September, while her family helps take care of the colonies.

The typical night for Gallaugher is filling con-tainers with honey and days are spent at farmers markets. She has also be-gun to make appearances at events.

Biology students faced with the challenges of bottle-neck courses will be getting some relief thanks to a course redesign process.

Cal state Fullerton’s math and biology departments re-ceived over $537,000 as a part of the Chancellor’s office course redesign.

The biology department, now considered impacted for the first time, was pro-vided with $216,744 from the Chancellor’s Office and CSUF to redesign biology 101, 171 and 172, and 361 and 362. The math department received $321,171 to redesign math 040, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130 and 135.

The course redesign proj-ect will better accommodate transfer students, particular-ly those who transfer in as biology majors. The biology courses offered at CSUF of-ten fail to correlate with what is being taught at feeder cam-puses, including Fullerton Ju-nior College.

This leaves transfer stu-dents with the problem of ei-ther taking courses that over-lap what they learned at their previous school, or, with de-partment approval, mov-ing on to courses without the full basis of knowledge CSUF students are expected to have.

Starting fall 2015, biology 171 Biodiversity and Evolu-tion and 172 Cellular Basis of Life, will be replaced by bi-ology 151 Cellular Molecu-lar Biology and 152 Evolution and Organismal Biology.

By changing topics and course names, the materi-al will be an exact match to most of the schools that feed into CSUF. This will allow students to transfer seamless-ly and allow them to avoid repeating a course or miss information.

Transfer students aren’t the only students who will bene-fit from the redesign. Bottle-neck courses are also an is-sue in the biology department due to the number of courses that must be taken sequen-tially. Students who can’t en-roll in one of the lower level courses must wait until they can take the course before moving on to the next in the series.

25 arrests made in LA sweep

22-year-old stabbed in Anaheim

‘Storm of the Decade’ expected

DTBRIEFS

In Los Angeles, hundreds of agents swarmed the East-side and made 25 gang arrests Wednes-day. Authorities aimed to weaken the gang’s presence, which has been rooted in the com-munity for decades.

The gang has been in Boyle Heights for 50 years, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Federal prosecu-tors believe the Boyle Heights-based gang has ties to the Mexi-can Mafia prison gang. A minimum of 38 gang members were indict-ed under federal Rack-eteer Influenced and Corrupt Organization laws, federal officials said.

Approximately 800 l a w - e n f o r c e m e n t agents conducted searches across the Eastside.

A 22-year-old man was stabbed ear-ly Wednesday inside an apartment used to house mentally-ill res-idents in Anaheim. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department responded to the crime around 4:50 a.m.

A 55-year-old-man allegedly stabbed the 22-year-old visitor. The suspect once lived in the apartment for four days, according to the Orange County Register.

The two men were reportedly engaged in an altercation before the 55-year-old man stabbed the victim with a small kitchen knife.

The 22-year-old has been taken to UCI Med-ical Center in Orange. The 55-year-old sus-pect has not been ar-rested, but has been de-tained for questioning.

The suspect claims the crime happened in self-defense.

The “Storm of the De-cade” is expected to hit Northern California Wednesday and move south throughout the rest of the week, according to CBS San Francisco.

Named Pineapple Ex-press because it origi-nates from the central Pacific Ocean near Ha-waii, the storm will bring hurricane-force winds, two story waves and blizzards in the Northern Sierras.

San Francisco, Oak-land and Marin county schools have announced school closures.

Northern California will bear the brunt of the storm, but South-ern Californians should expect cold winds and inches of rain.

Beach hazards and high surf advisory have been announced and will be in effect through Saturday.

The department has ap-proval for these courses, but is waiting on approval from the general education committee, meaning the courses cannot be taught under the new num-bers until fall 2015. However, most of the changes have al-ready been made this semester and are currently being taught under the original names.

Another reason the new courses have not been offered yet is to allow students who have not passed the course an-other opportunity since grade forgiveness cannot be used, said Kathryn Dickson, depart-ment chair of biology.

Students who don’t pass bi-ology 171 or 172 during the spring semester will still be able to retake the course under the new names, but using the grade averaging tool.

In addition to the course re-design process, the number of units needed for the major will

be reduced. An exact num-ber is not established at this time.

The main change that has been applied is a change in the units of each core course from 5 units to 4 units. This will be done by cutting the lab time in half from twice a week for 6 hours total to once a week for 3 hours total.

Having lab only once a week will free up more labo-ratories, allowing more sec-tions to be offered and more students to enroll.

By reducing lab by three hours, content and lab activi-ties have been adjusted. Com-pared to last semester, lab re-quirements for biology 171 are reduced and focus on pre lab work, lab assignments, group work, presentations and writing.

Students are now expected to put in 20 hours of work per week including class time in-stead of 25 hours.

Although some in the

biology department have con-cerns that reducing lab time could lead to a reduction in the amount of information stu-dents come away with, Dick-son thinks that reducing lab time is a practical decision that will be beneficial.

“This one change would help us on all aspects and ben-efit students, especially trans-fer students,” Dickson said.

The process has also pro-vided some benefit to profes-sors, Bowman said.

“The redesign projects have allowed the departments to have to resources to give fac-ulty a lighter teaching load to redesign their courses and has given us access to resources we wouldn’t normally have,” Bowman said.

Several other departments also received funding for the 2014-2015 school year to assist with course redesign including history, chemistry, political science and information sys-tems and decision sciences.

Cal State Fullerton has a research team working to im-prove the future for personal security with facial recogni-tion, fingerprint scanning and heartbeat sensors–also known as biometrics.

Seven students and two mentor professors make up the team that presented last month at the CSUF Southern Califor-nia Conference for Undergrad-uate Research.

The team is led by Mikhail Gofman, a computer science professor who was awarded a junior faculty research grant as well as intramural and incen-tive grants for his biometrics fusion research.

Also leading the team is Sinjini Mitra, an information systems and decision scienc-es professor who has been published more than a dozen times on work related to bio-metric authentication.

The research team’s focus is to enhance mobile phone and tablet security by creat-ing a multimodal framework. This means using multiple in-puts, such as face and voice, to unlock or secure mobile devices.

Improved biometric au-thentications could prove to be more secure authentica-tion protocols than traditional methods like passwords and pins.

“Strong passwords are dif-ficult for users to remember. Weak passwords are easy for attackers to guess. The same is not true for biometrics: people do not need to remember and cannot forget their biometric traits,” Gofman said.

But in practical application, the use of biometrics to se-cure mobile devices has been weak.

Google and Android devic-es still list such functions as low security. Violators could use photos to unlock devices or poor lighting conditions re-sulted in rejections, according to a patent filed by Google.

Apple’s fingerprint sensor,

Touch I.D., has also been crit-icized for its inconsistencies, wrote Wired.

Current sensor technology and biometric algorithms are not robust enough to resist so-phisticated spoofing attacks or do not work well in less than ideal conditions, according to the team’s research abstract.

“We believe that a multi-modal approach which via-bly consolidates features from multiple biometric modalities e.g. face and voice features can address many of these prob-lems,” Gofman said.

The CSUF team experi-mented with the Fischer Fac-es and Hidden Markov Model algorithms, commonly used in face and voice recognition and found 40 percent error rates. The CSUF team’s approach had lower error rates, near 20 percent.

“Our preliminary results indicate that such ‘multimod-al’ fusion yields significant-ly more accurate authentica-tion results than methods that use only one single biometric trait,” Mitra said.

The CSUF team’s prototype

allows the user to record a short video of their face while speaking a sentence. From the video, photographs and audio are extracted. The samples are then statistically fused to cre-ate a third level of integrated biometrical inputs.

The team plans to include fingerprinting in the future especially since many smart phones now come with built-in fingerprint scanners.

As of now the team has only worked with the Android plat-form, but hope to also conduct research for Apple’s iOS.

“Going forward, we have plans to make our technology available to cell phone manu-facturers and other interested people,” Mitra said.

CSUF is not alone in its quest to improve biometrics. Major tech companies have been investing and research-ing ways to advance biomet-rics and find ways to market them to broader audiences.

Intel recently announced its new biometric authentication software that can be used on bank and email accounts.

A consortium of tech

companies called Fast Iden-tity Online Alliance have al-lied themselves to phase out passwords entirely. Google, Alipay, Microsoft, Samsung, Lenovo, Qualcomm and RSA are all members of the FIDO alliance.

NokNokLabs, an authen-tication company also asso-ciated with the Alliance, just announced it has secured $8.25 million for biometrics enterprise.

The CSUF biometrics team plans to launch their prototype as a mobile application.

The Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermod-al Center, more commonly known as ARTIC, will offi-cially get its wheels rolling with a grand opening event Saturday.

The 67,000 square foot transportation hub accepted its first passengers Monday, more than two years after construction on the center began in August 2012.

About $170 million in funding for the center comes from California mea-sures and programs with an additional near $12 million from federal sources. Those funds come in addition to $3.6 million for environ-mental studies, according to the center.

The ARTIC features 10 transportation options, in-cluding OCTA, Amtrak, Metrolink and Anaheim Re-sort Transit, which provides transportation to major Or-ange County locations.

Anaheim was ranked seventh out of ten in most used Metrolinks in Or-ange County, according to OCTA records. The current station in Anaheim serves around 450,000 Amtrak and Metrolink passengers annually.

There are also plans to make the center compatible

with the Anaheim Rapid Connection, and space has been allocated for future high-speed trains.

In addition to the trans-portation options available in ARTIC, the center will

also eventually offer com-muters dining and shopping options.

ARTIC’s trademark outer shell is made of Teflon-in-fused plastic that allows three-fourths of the public

space in the building to be lit by sunlight, according to the Los Angeles Times. The hub is also outfitted with so-lar panels that provide pow-er for the building.

The transportation mega

hub will also use its in-novative technology and proximity to light up over 600 strips of LED-light-ed pipes, which can change to the home teams’ col-ors during games at either

Angels Stadium or the Hon-da Center.

The grand opening event will be Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will in-clude food, music and tours of the center.

The Cal State Fullerton his-tory journal, Welebaethan, continued its streak, winning best student history journal for the 28th consecutive year.

Welebaethan is named af-ter the late Shirley Weleba, who taught African-Ameri-can studies at CSUF and was the first full-time female pro-fessor in the History Depart-ment. Weleba was respon-sible for putting together an organization to start a history journal on campus, but died due to health problems during the process of creating the journal.

The journal competition is run by the National Historical Honor Society Phi Alpha The-ta, and CSUF is in the largest school division with the likes of UCLA, Harvard and other prominent programs.

CSUF has dominated the competition for 28 years thanks in part to the amount of work that goes into putting the publication together.

In History 494, a two-se-mester course that starts in Fall, students become editors of research papers submitted by graduate and undergradu-ate students.

The review process is rig-orous–each paper submitted goes through a triple-blind process in which an under-graduate, graduate and fac-ulty member review each pa-per and rate it using a detailed evaluation form.

After the paper is reviewed, it goes to the review board made up of a faculty advi-sor, managing editors and editors-in-chief.

After all papers are re-viewed, the faculty advisor and editor-in-chief make the final decision on which papers are accepted.

CSUF history graduate stu-dents Ben Cartwright and Matt Snider, served as edi-tors-in-chief of Welebaethan from fall 2013 to spring 2014, and were responsible for put-ting together the 400-page publication.

Articles published in the Welebaethan 2014 issue in-clude European and North American History, History in Theory, Memory Studies and other historical subjects.

“Part of the journal’s com-position is about being di-verse,” Snider said. “It’s about having different articles, like Oral History, Public History, Cultural History.”

In addition to being co-ed-itor-in-chief, Snider also pub-lished two articles in Wele-baethan. His paper titled

“Climbing the Rabbit Hole: Neo-Historicism in a Thor-oughly Subjective Field” was celebrated by the Welebaethan staff as the best graduate stu-dent paper.

Snider and Cartwright were both well aware of the task ahead of them.

“You dont want to be the

year that didn’t win and broke the streak, and suddenly the Welebaethan isn’t what it used to be, so the whole year we knew we had to live up to the standard. We felt the pres-sure,” Snider said.

The effort put in at times was tiring, he said.

“It became especially

noticeable toward end of the spring semester when we were really pushing for the dead-lines and getting ready to ac-tually give the material to the publisher,” Snider said.

Both editors-in-chief credit late Professor of History Gor-don Bakken, Ph.D., for not just the evolution of Welebaethan,

but assisting them along the way.

“He was really the driving force behind us winning. He was the template for us to get a winning journal,” Cartwright said.

CSUF will be awarded at a luncheon initiation ceremony hosted by the Honor Society.

Senior communications ma-jor Jonathan Parra scored big when he got his foot in the door at one of the biggest radio stations in California.

KIIS FM is best known for the morning show On Air with Ryan Seacrest, and Parra works for the show as a techni-cal producer.

The job of the technical pro-ducer is to control what listen-ers hear while on the air. Some of Parra’s responsibilities in-clude censoring obscenities, maintaining an entertaining flow during the show and con-necting incoming phone calls for big promotions like the an-nual Jingle Ball concert.

After eight years with the radio station, Parra closely works beside Seacrest every day to generate ideas for the show and cater to what listen-ers would like to hear.

Parra said his first day on the job was very stressful.

“I was nervous because I thought to myself ‘this is what I wanted, now what do I do

with it,’” Parra said.Due to his close interaction

with the entertainment indus-try, Parra had to learn to main-tain a professional attitude and put any personal admirations aside when he came into con-tact with celebrities. However, he still considers every part of his job as fun and exciting.

Now Parra eats, sleeps and breathes KIIS FM, even when he is not working. He said his favorite part of the job is play-ing the music over the air be-cause he loves all of the mu-sic the radio station is known for.

“Even outside of the ra-dio station, I’ll still listen to the station no matter where I’m at,” he said. “When I’m working out, I’ll listen to the iHeartRadio app.”

iHeartRadio is an Internet radio platform that is available to people all over the United States.

Landing a job with Seacrest was the last place Parra saw himself when he graduated from high school. He wanted to pursue a professional career in baseball.

When his grades weren’t up to par at the communi-ty college he attended, Par-ra turned to radio as second

choice because of his passion for music.

“After all that happened with baseball, I fell into radio through internships,” he said. “I love everything about it and I try to take it as far as I can.”

Despite having to be at the station sometimes as early as 4:30 a.m., Parra is still eager to start his day and bring enter-tainment to the masses.

He believes once you com-mit to something, you follow it through and see it to the end, even if it means not sleeping.

On top of working and be-ing a full-time student, Par-ra still manages to find time for clubs and organizations on campus while maintain-ing a high grade point average. He plans to graduate in the spring.

“My passion for everything I do goes above and beyond what anybody expects,” Parra said.

Parra hopes to one day have his own radio show and follow in the footsteps of his celebri-ty boss.

“I just want to be on top of the entertainment industry and be on top of my game,” he said. “I want to take over the industry like Ryan did and be successful.”

The ‘Lone Woman’ discovered

The Cooper Center Lec-ture series hosted Rene Vellanoweth, Ph.D., at the Fullerton Arboretum last night. His presentation was called, “Archaeology, His-tory and the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island.”

Vellanoweth is chair and professor of anthro-pology at Cal State Los Angeles. He was part of a team of archaeologists who discovered a cave on the San Nicolas Island, off the coast of Southern California.

He has been research-ing this island for 24 years. The cave is believed to be the home of the fabled “Lone Woman”.

“This is my story of re-search on San Nicolas Is-land,” Vellanoweth said. “Although I didn’t start work on San Nicolas Island to search for the “Lone Woman,” I just kept fol-lowing her.”

The story of the “Lone Woman” inspired the nov-el by Scott O’Dell entitled, Island of the Blue Dol-phins. It’s about a young Native American wom-an who lived alone on the island after jumping off the ship of Captain Hub-bard, who was taking the native people away from the island to what is now California.

“This book has done wonders at keeping the story of the San Nico-las Woman alive,” Vella-noweth said.

The island had originally

been inhabited only by in-digenous people.

In 1853, eighteen years after the exportation of the natives, Captain Nidever traveled to the island and discovered the woman still living there.

The novel is supposed to be a recreation of the events and what scientists

think happened on the island.

Vellanoweth said he is fascinated by the connection.

“If we want to under-stand something about her, let’s understand something about her family, about her ancestors,” he said. “So the people living (on the

island) were probably re-lated to the woman of San Nicolas Island.”

In the exhibition, Vella-noweth and the team found a box of artifacts that be-longed to the woman.

The box contained arti-facts like handmade bot-tles, necklaces, wands, fish hooks and knives.

He pointed out that there had only been one person living on that island from 1814 to 1853.

“Nothing like this has been found in decades, maybe a hundred years,” Vellanoweth said.

The exhibition team also found objects that she must have manufactured out of

sandstone—they found bowls and saws. There is also other evidence that suggests the woman or her ancestors who lived on the island made baskets from seagrass and beads.

However, the “Lone Woman” wasn’t entirely alone.

The exhibition found nu-merous remains of wild dogs who lived on the is-land. They found dog buri-als which were probably sacrifices, he said.

It’s believed the dogs had a place with the people, ac-cording to the human food remains found inside the preserved canine corps-es. The team also believes the dogs were working an-imals, helping the people who once lived on the is-land, hauling, hunting or protecting.

“You sort of enter into a new world,” Vellanoweth said. “We might never be able to say, ‘Yes this is de-finitive. It can be associat-ed with the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island,’ but when you begin to think about it and start crossing names off the list, she’s at the top.”

The Cooper Center lec-ture series feature student research projects using the Center’s collections, fea-turing archaeological find-ings from around Orange County. Currently, the Center is showcasing Ti-tans: Student Research in Archaeology and Paleon-tology in the Atrium Gal-lery of Cal State Fuller-ton’s Pollak Library, open during library hours.

Elizabeth Meyer, Gal-laugher’s mother, said working with the bees is “magical.”

“The benefit of this career is to her health,” Meyer said. “She is rewarded by helping other people.”

Gallaugher has appeared at the Orange County Fair the past two years, demon-strating her expertise about the importance of bees in the ecosystem and the nutritional benefits of honey.

Taking care of the bees takes up most of her time. She admits it’s a hands-on job and that she’s dirty most of the time.

However, she said she en-joys it.

“I feel like I was lost and now I am found. I was always trying to fit into a mold of being a secretary or in a job with a title. And I found out I was really OK being a bee-keeper. It’s an honorable job,” Gallaugher said.

“She’s gained agricultur-al experience,” Meyer said. “From the early days until now, all of that has built her to where she is now. She has a great understanding of the process of beekeeping and the importance of it.”

Unfortunately, Gallaugh-er’s business has been affect-ed by the drought.

She said the lack of water has affected crops and how much nectar the bees can

harvest from them. The bees then have to eat

the honey that she would normally harvest.

“If we all acted like bees in a beehive, this world

would be a better place,” Gallaugher said. “There would be no hunger. There would be no homeless. Bees take care of themselves. It’s all about the common

good.”The Bee Ladies ap-

pear weekly at local mar-kets. They can be found at the Placentia market Tues-days from 4-8 p.m. and the

Anaheim Kaiser market Wednesdays from 8 a.m to 1 p.m. Anyone can come sample the honey, learn the health benefits of raw honey and buy products.

Honey: Harvesting to give back to the community

Searching... for Mr. Right|Fearing uncertainty rather than rejection

I believe the worst part of someone being uncertain of their feelings for you is the waiting.

It’s the messages that you’ll write and rewrite in vain because you know you

can’t send them.It’s the snapchats you im-

mediately regret because you know you’re infringing on the space he asked for.

You’ll ask your friends how long you have to wait until you can reach out to him, and when the dead-line feels impossibly distant, you’ll look for a response that better fits the timeline you’ve already created in your head.

I have no fear of rejec-tion. My mother used to tell me that every failure, every heartbreak, just helps you become the person you’re supposed to be.

Uncertainty, on the other hand, terrifies me.

This waiting game that I’m an unwilling participant in can only end two ways, one of which is heartbreak.

I don’t like those odds. I don’t like waiting by the phone and I don’t like not knowing what he’ll say when I finally hear from him, but I do like him.

I like that mid-conversation

he’ll stop me, grab my hands and twirl me around the room because in that mo-ment, he was overcome with the urge to dance with me.

I like that he calls me sun-shine and thinks the stupid faces I make are adorable. I even like that a lot of his un-certainty about whether or not we have a future stems from the loyalty to his best friend.

I like that he drives his lit-

tle brother to school and that he loves his mother.

I don’t know his life’s story.

I don’t know the name of the woman that broke him before and I don’t know why he’s so afraid to let himself feel again, but I know who he is now, and that’s all that matters to me.

He created a rule for himself long ago against dating, but he also told me that being with me made him feel like it could be different.

It’s a lot of pressure to be the one exception to some-one’s rule, but it also gives me hope and it gives me a certain freedom.

I’m not afraid to break my rules for him.

I have written for months now about not dating friends, and I’ve been friends with him for three years.

I have a personal vendet-ta against waiting around for anyone, but here I am, checking my phone reli-giously, for him.

For me, he’s worth throw-ing all of my rules out the window.

He and I are barely on the cusp of infatuation, but

I think it’s clear by now that I’m not the type of person that can commit to some-thing halfheartedly.

I’m not asking to start a

relationship with him.I’m not planning our fu-

ture or betting my life on us.

All I want are interactions

that aren’t fueled by alco-hol, time away from the ev-er-speculating gazes of our friends and the chance to get to know him better.

The closure of the Pollak Library has been a source of great woe these last several months, and the Students for Quality Education won’t let the administration forget it. Good for them, because the book call system is flawed and the renovations could take a long time. Hopefully rattling the cage will expe-dite the process.

But the Cal State Fuller-ton Students for Quality Ed-ucation has got one thing wrong.

At a protest last month, Students for Quality Edu-cation member Carie Rael told Associated Students, Inc. executives and Cal State University Student Trustee Kelsey Brewer that the Cal-ifornia State Student Associ-ation should pressure the Cal State University Board of Trustees to amend policies so that Associated Students and Titan Student Union funds could pay for the li-brary renovation.

Associated Students and Titan Student Union funds are levied by mandatory stu-dent fees, which are required upon enrollment. Students pay these fees not as tuition, but to fund co-curricular programs.

The Associated Students fees pay for things such as leadership and multicultur-al development, Inter-Club Councils, fraternities and sororities, and safe space resources centers such as the ones for LGBTQ stu-dents and undocumented students.

Student Union fees are paid to support the student union facility because the Ti-tan Student Union building maintenance cannot be paid for with state funds. State funds are meant for universi-ty academics, administration and related university facili-ties like the library.

What Rael and the Stu-dents for Quality Educa-tion advocate is that the Board of Trustees change these rules so that these funds could be used to aid

the ailing university facili-ties and academic programs which have been choked by underfunding.

While that sounds good, it actually would serve to further privatizing the state university system which is a major issue that the Students for Quality Education rallies against.

Changing the rules so that student fees could be used to repair buildings and aid in university costs would set bad precedents.

Instead of justly allocating state revenue to higher edu-cation, legislators and board members could expect stu-dent fees to pay for universi-ty facility maintenance.

Additionally, if money can be pulled from Associated Students and Student Union funds for university needs, the argument could be made in the future to pull from university funds to finance Associated Students and Student Union needs.

The California state leg-islators and the Board of Trustees need to be held

responsible for the decaying state university facilities and struggling academics, not the students.

“I want Cal State to mean something, because if you don’t have the state funding, I don’t know why we call it a Cal State system,” Brew-er said, who is both an As-sociated Student chief gov-erning officer and a student trustee.

Brewer represents the stu-dents at Board of Trustees meetings, but does not have a vote. Talar Alexanian, of Cal State Northridge, is the student trustee with voting privilege.

If students and facul-ty are mad that the library is closed or downsizing on hard copies of books, then they should direct that anger towards the state legislators because the funds to repair and expand facilities should come from deferred mainte-nance funding.

The CSU system esti-mates that they are owed approximately $1.8 billion in deferred maintenance

backlogs. The governor and trustee budgets reflect a low-er backlog closer to $500 million.

But Gov. Jerry Brown ve-toed a line item measure this year that would have allocat-ed $50 million for CSU fa-cility upgrades.

The entire Cal State sys-tem is in a varying state of decay. CSUF needs a li-brary and McCarthy Hall is in bad shape. San Francisco State has outsourced its sci-ence programs to local high schools because their build-ings are so bad. Sacramento State only has male restrooms in its science buildings. Fres-no State has an electrical grid that is 100 years old.

Brown said he regrettably had to veto the measure to fund the CSU system deferred maintenance because revenue from property taxes was too low. That’s why it’s import-ant to address the question of why the infamous and decrep-it Proposition 13 has still not been reformed.

These are some areas where the Students for Quality

Education could refocus their energy. The group of student activists are truly a force for good on campus and should be commended for not suc-cumbing to the apathy which consumes most others.

Both Associated Students and the Students for Quali-ty Education are reluctant to speak to each other, wary be-cause they perceive each other as hindrances to their causes. But they have much more in common than they realize.

They don’t need to agree on everything and they will probably always disagree on methods, but if the two groups could sit down one-on-one, they might learn from each other.

If student representatives and activists could find com-mon goals, then California’s students would have forces to be reckoned with. They don’t have to work together, they just need to understand one another.

Who knows? Both sides might find camaraderie hidden behind perceived opposition.

SQE and ASI need to talk it outStudent representatives and activists must find common ground to progress

A: Nacho Cheese

Q: What streets do ghosts haunt?

A: Dead ends!

Q: Did you hear about the astronaut who stepped on

chewing gum?

A: He got stuck in Orbit.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

Patience is a virtue, but it’s not an easy one to master for an impulsive Ram. Fortunately, you are more receptive to learning about the benefits of waiting when the reflective Moon is shining in tenacious Cancer.

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

You have a sneaking suspicion that you can’t put off hard work for much longer. Your key planet Venus soars in idealistic Sagittarius but lands in realistic Capricorn tomorrow.

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

Relationship dynamics are at the forefront of your thoughts today as the gentle Cancer Moon misaligns with romantic Venus in your 7th House of Others.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

Your current behavior is motivated by your de-sire to make good feelings last longer now that the Moon is highlighting your nurturing sign.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

You may feel as if you’re in the eye of a hurricane today; even though storms of change are raging around you, you manage to remain centered and unwavering as you continue on your path.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

Your social life is the source of complications now, motivating you to pull into your shell until the emotional dynamics settle down. Although your assessment of the situation is probably ac-curate.

LIBRA(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

Sometimes it’s not healthy to let your dreams spill over into your waking hours, but now they can be a valuable source of solace and even inspiration.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

Although you could be treading a fine line be-tween passion and anger now, others might not notice you are on edge. This isn’t because of any-one else’s insensitivity.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

You may have an endless stream of exciting ideas to lead you into the future, but your en-ergy level might not match your dreams. The security-conscious Cancer Moon challenges you to balance your natural wanderlust with your current need for emotional stability.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

Your social and career ambitions are important to you, but sometimes it’s healthy to set your goals aside for a while. The Cancer Moon harmonizes with your ruling planet Saturn today, enabling you to relax and enjoy yourself.

AQUARIUS(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18):

Although others may think you’re emotionally aloof or just plain weird, you are comfortable with your logical approach to life. Ironically, you might not be able to avoid your feelings today.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

You’re fully in touch with your feelings today, even if you’re wary of sharing them with anyone else. Maybe you don’t want to burden a friend with your emotional process.

Miles is second in the conference in scoring with 19 points per game and Kathleen Iwuoha has stepped up, posting 11.8 points per game and seven rebounds per game.

“The seniors do a great job getting the young play-ers to understand how im-portant it is to come ready to play and compete ev-ery single time out on the floor,” Park said. “We’ll continue to ride them as long as we need to.”

The new faces for the Ti-tans have played less than they were at the beginning of the season.

Daeja Smith is the only freshman remaining in the

starting lineup. “They need to compete

more, defend better, take care of the basketball and make shots. When they figure that out, they will be very good. They are all re-ally coachable and talent-ed,” Park said. “They are still learning the differ-ence between high school and college basketball and we’re trying to help them with that.”

The grueling schedule the team has faced was challenging, particularly for the freshmen. They are not used to the travel and spending days at a time around the country.

“We are never a team that is going to make ex-cuses. We learned a lot

about our team on the road. Hopefully in the future when we go on the road, we will have success,” Park said.

The Titans are well-rest-ed and have had a week to prepare for Fresno State, a team that hasn’t lost at home this season.

Fullerton hopes to play as well as they did pri-or to South Dakota, when they won three out of four games.

“We strive to always get better. It’s a tough place to play and we’re going to have to come with a focus and play with better effort, energy and enthusiasm,” Park said. “If we do that ,we will have a happy bus ride home.”

Cal State Fullerton will hit the road again this weekend when they visit the Sacramento State Hor-nets and the Nevada Wolf Pack.

The Titans didn’t take ad-vantage of their one-game homestand, falling to the Pepperdine Waves 74-62 in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Titan Gym.

CSUF has played only two home games this sea-son, and will be in hostile environments for seven of their first nine games after this weekend’s contests.

Sacramento State is un-defeated at home this year, compiling a 3-0 record at the Hornets Nest so far.

The Hornets are led on

offense by Mikh McKin-ney’s 15.8 points and 3.9 as-sists per contest.

As a team, Sac State is averaging just under 70 points per contest com-pared to just 61 points per game by the struggling Titans.

Sacramento State has al-ready taken on two Big West Conference foes this season, defeating the UC Riverside Highlanders 70-69 on Nov. 17, and fall-ing to UC Irvine 74-62 on Saturday.

In their last meeting in November 2013, CSUF overcame a double-digit deficit and used lockdown defense in the second half to defeat Sacramento State 59-51 at Titan Gym.

Alex Harris led the way in that game with 12 points, and the Titans will likely need another big game out of their star point guard if they are going to pull out a

win Thursday.There won’t be much

time for recovery for the Ti-tans, who will be headed to the Lawlor Events Center on Saturday in Reno.

Nevada (2-6) opened the year with back-to-back wins over Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Adams State, but the Wolf Pack have suffered six straight losses entering Saturday’s game.

Nevada’s offense is strug-gling this year, only scoring 58.4 points per game and shooting just 36.6 percent from the field.

In addition to its sea-son-opening 65-49 win over Cal Poly SLO, the Wolf Pack also played Big West Con-ference member Long Beach State, suffering a 68-57 loss at The Walter Pyramid on Dec. 3.

The Wolf Pack are the defi-nition of a balanced offense, with four players scoring 10

points per game, but lack any consistent offensive threat.

Meanwhile, Fullerton will likely need more of a contribu-tion from junior college trans-fer Lanerryl Johnson going forward.

He struggled mightily on the offensive end last week, scoring just 10 points and shooting 3-of-18 from the field.

Senior Moses Morgan has also fallen off as of late, only scoring double digits once in his last five games after open-ing the year with four con-secutive performances of 10 points or more.

After the brief road trip, Fullerton will return home Thursday to host Cal State Dominguez Hills to begin a stretch of four straight home games.

The Titans have a good chance to earn some key victories before beginning their Big West Conference slate in January.

Ford honored by NFCA

DTBRIEFS

- MICHAEL HUNTLEY

The Cal State Ful-lerton softball Head Coach Kelly Ford was recognized at the 2014 National Fastpitch Coaches Association Convention in Las Ve-gas for earning her 500th collective win last season.

“It is an honor to be recognized for an ac-complishment that I was able to achieve here as a Cal State Fullerton Titan,” Ford said in a statement. “To see some of my col-leagues receive these type of awards and to be part of that contin-ued success is a spe-cial achievement. This is a result of the years of hard work from both the coaching staffs and student-athletes that I’ve had the privilege to work alongside.”

Ford won 455 games as a head coach at Mt. San Antonio College from 2002-2010.

She got the presti-gious 500th win after the Titans beat UNLV at the Titan Classic on March 15.
