Everyday items sent to loved ones serving overseas for holidays ALEX ANDERSEN Daily Titan
Toothpaste, foot powder and canned soup may not seem like the ideal holiday gift, but for troops in Afghanistan, these little treasures in care packages will bring some much-needed comfort to a lonely holiday season. The Student Veterans Association, Veterans Student Services and the Human Services Student Association have teamed up to start a holiday care package drive at Cal State Fullerton to show their support for troops in Afghanistan. “Last year we actually sent out 50 care package boxes, and we even had leftover items,” said Joseph Chang, VSS coordinator. “It was our first event, and we were not sure (what to expect) but because of the success, overwhelming participation and all the encouraging messages, this time we decided to send 100 boxes.” Some suggested items to donate are wipes, mouthwash, lip balm, beef jerky, cookies, hot chocolate, books and calling cards. The complete list is available at the WoMen’s Center drop-off location in UH205. Fliers about the drive are displayed throughout campus. “This is just a generalized list. If anybody wants to donate items that are not on the list, we are willing to take them, and if we (can) find out the individual needs in Afghanistan from family members, we will do our best to meet their needs as well,” Chang said. Zoe Boorn, student intern for the VSS, has been collecting items in the WoMen’s Center drop-off location and says that many contributors are buying items in bulk from superstores like Costco and donating whole boxes. Boorn recommends donating anything that is not going to perish quickly and everyday things that we take for granted. Aside from personal items and food, the SVA, VSS and HSSA are collecting monetary donations in increments of $10 to help cover postage costs, which are about $10.33 per box.

Free toys in McDonald’s Happy Meals will no longer be included because of unhealthy food options for children JESSICA RUBIO For the Daily Titan
San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted last week to ban toy giveaways in McDonald’s Happy Meals. This will make San Francisco the first city in the country to prohibit restaurants from offering a free toy with meals that contain high levels of sodium, fat and sugar content. The measure aims to support and promote healthy eating in the fight against childhood obesity. McDonald’s Corp. was less than pleased with this ordinance. “Somehow the San Francisco Board of Supervisors just took the happy out of Happy
Meals,” said Scott Rodrick, owner of 10 McDonald’s franchises in the city, in an SFGate article titled ‘SF Fast-food toy ban gets supervisors’ first OK.’ “It would be an understatement to say how disappointed I am with this legislation,” Rodrick said. Rodrick and other fast-food chain representatives feel parents decide what their children eat, not San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors. Rodrick said that this restriction could impact employment and hurt business. See HAPPY, page 2

Titans dig deep after loss to UCLA MARC DONEZ Daily Titan
KATHLEEN FIORILLE / For the Daily Titan Titan Head Coach Nick Moran talks with his team between periods as the Titans dominate most of the game, but lose in overtime to UCLA 5-4. Contact Us at news@dailytitan.com
Cal State Fullerton painfully squandered an early four-goal lead en route to a 6-5 overtime loss to UCLA at the KHS Ice Arena Nov. 6. The Titans, coming off a heartbreaking 3-2 shootout loss to San Diego State the night before, began the game firing on all cylinders. Just two minutes into the game, junior forward Anthony Webb scored his first goal of the season giving CSUF the early lead. The Titans kept attacking UCLA freshman goaltender Al Ricciardelli, forcing big saves early on. The Bruins defense couldn’t handle the Titans’ attack, however, allowing junior forward Shane Galaviz to score his first goal of the season off a nice pass from sophomore defenseman Payne Sauer. The Titans attacked the UCLA
zone throughout the entire first period, outshooting the Bruins 26-8. The few shots that UCLA was able to get off were knocked down by Titan junior goaltender Alex Miller, who was mobile throughout the start of the game. Sophomore forward Jacob Daniel scored for the Titans at 12:01 in the first period, giving CSUF a 3-0 lead. The Titans were hungry for more, with “attack” becoming the theme for the first period. Outstanding puck movement allowed CSUF to get shots early on, while the Titans got physical on the defensive side of the puck. That pressure defense forced UCLA to take bad shots. The beginning of the second period saw more of the same from the Titans, forcing big saves from UCLA’s Ricciardelli while CSUF defense dominated. The Bruins started the period on a power-play, but failed to get any
good shots. Luck even seemed to be on CSUF’s side when the Bruins failed to capitalize on a two-on-none breakaway. UCLA finally got on the board at the 12:11 mark when junior forward Charlie Linehan scored on a seeingeye shot, making it 4-1. The Titans quickly responded with a goal from senior defenseman Patrick McDevitt. It would be CSUF’s last goal of the night. “We started off playing real well,” Webb said. “We just kind of fell apart from there. We just stopped playing smart hockey.” It was downhill for the Titans from that point on. UCLA made it a threegoal game when freshman forward Nick Panzica scored on a power-play for the Bruins. UCLA started attacking the Titans’ zone, and it showed with the Bruins taking 15 shots on goal compared to CSUF’s eight. See HOCKEY, page 8
For some people, art is a way of life. It is the freedom of expression that brings people together in a community forum. The Hibbleton Gallery in Downtown Fullerton is motivated by this concept. In their newly relocated space, co-owners Jesse La Tour, Tony Bach, London Lewis, Steve Westbrook, Chuck Oldfield and Nick Balderas have united forces with two already established art spaces to create what is becoming an artistic force in DTF. Hibbleton is now adjoined to Project Art School and The Violet Hour art spaces off of Santa Fe Street. “Now that Hibbleton and PAS have moved in the energy between all of us is actually quite incredible, and I really sense that this is the beginning of a whole art movement,” said Mike Magoski, owner of The Violet Hour. All of the owners share a love for the city of Fullerton as well as their communities which encouraged them to help sprout a movement in the flourishing downtown. “We all live in the Fullerton area and there didn’t seem to be a huge art scene, in Fullerton let alone the Orange County area so we just thought it would be fun to cultivate that and encourage it down in these parts,” Oldfield said.

For the record Nov. 4, 2010: In the article titled “Cal State University Analysis,” the sentence: “this is the first time that funding for Cal State Universities has been approved since 2007” should accurately read: “This is the first restoration in state funding to the CSU since 2007. The CSU receives monetary assistance every year but this is the first year that the assistance has been labeled as restoration, a return of funds since 2007.”
