High school students speak out

First Amendment Assembly at nLAW: Lowell Bergman of “60 Minutes” and California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald George scheduled to speak

nCOMMUNITY: High school students discussed issues such as traffic and activities in Brea

By Camille Jones

Daily Titan Staff Writer Brea Mayor Bev Perry told high school students gathered at the Brea Community Center last Saturday that it was time to tell the adults what was on their minds.

“We are truly looking forward to what you have to say and we, as adults, will zip our lips,” Perry said.

For 2 1/2 hours on Saturday morning, the mayor, the mayor pro tem and two other council members were joined by three members from the Parks and Recreation Department and one representative from Brea’s school board to come and listen to what the young people had to say.

“We take what you give us as suggestions.” Perry said. “Whatever comes out of it, we want to help you find the solutions,” Council member Steven Vargas was the person who first brought up the idea of a teen summit a year ago during a joint meeting of the school board and the city council.

At the meeting, Vargas pointed out that the city already held senior summits, so why not teen summits?

The idea for Teen Summit 2000 came, in part, because of what Vargas said he hears at home from his own five children, three of whom are in their teens.

“I’m aware of a lot of the issues because of my kids, now the community needs to hear them,” said Vargas.

“We say we’re a community that cares about our kids, but we don’t listen to them. The whole council is behind this and with this being held in a public forum, it holds us accountable as members.”

The three issues that the community would be made aware of were decided upon by the students of Brea Olinda High School as the three topics that were the most important to them.

The topics for Saturday’s brain-

Attempts to thwart requests for public records information are alarmingly high in California. Citizens and journalists, when requesting information, are denied 75 percent of the time.

“You just have to sit and listen to our hotline calls and gasp to hear how incredibly poor the public’s right to know is in California,” said the California First Amendment Coalition’s Executive Director Kent Pollock.

To address this issue and other First Amendment-related topics, CFAC brings its fifth annual First Amendment Assembly to Cal State Fullerton this Friday and Saturday. The College of Communications is hosting the event.

California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald George and Lowell Bergman, a former CBS “60 Minutes” producer and inspiration for the Academy Award-nominated film “The Insider,” are among featured speakers at the assembly.

“The beauty of this assembly is that it is mostly put together by members of the coalition,” Pollock said, noting that the members work everyday to fight for rights inherent to writers and the general public.

“My hope is that the coalition can educate the public more about real threats to freedom of expression,” he said.

A variety of workshops are scheduled to present information regard-

ing police secrecy, recent attacks on the Shield Law and First Amendment concerns about the Internet, plus other key topics.

College of Communications Dean and co-chairman of the assembly, Rick Pullen said it is an honor for Chief Justice George to appear, and is pleased with the other speakers.

“We have a lineup of folks who are well-placed and important to issues that have impact on California,” he said.

He also said that the “Censorship in Film and Television” presentation scheduled for Friday evening’s reception should not be missed.

“The Freedom Forum does nothing unless it’s first class,” he said.

The forum is coordinating a panel of speakers to include directors John Landis and Guy Green.

Tam Gordon, Freedom Forum First Amendment Center programming director, said the idea of the presentation is to examine the value of free speech on film and television.

She said that Green will provide his take through his experience filming “A Patch of Blue,” a 1965 movie that dealt with racial issues.

“He can tell us how difficult it was to make that film in 1965,” she said.

After the presentation Friday, the workshops begin Saturday at 8:30 a.m.

Bergman and Chief Justice George are scheduled to speak at noon and 4 p.m., respectively.

Capping off Saturday’s itinerary is an awards ceremony. Beacon awards honor organizations working to uphold the public’s right to an open government. “Black Hole” awards are given to organizations or individuals who ignore requests for information.

Communications professor Tony Fellow, a member of the committee who chose the recipients, said he is proud to be part of the event. He noted that earning a Black Hole award is a dubious distinction.

Whether it’s the silent flutter of tiny wings or the beautiful colors, butterflies seem be the finishing touch to any garden. The only problem is finding ways to lure these gentle creatures into welcoming yards.

Saturday’s class at the Arboretum offered solutions to the problem.

Led by Chris Barnhill, the nursery manager at the Arboretum, eager butterfly seekers heard of ways to attract the delicate insects.

Barnhill began the hour-long discussion going over the structure of a butterfly and its functions.

“Butterflies have fascinating abilities with their antennae,” Barnhill said.

“They use it [antennae] to smell with, and for balance.”

Barnhill explained that a butterfly tastes with its feet and differs from a moth.

“Butterflies have knobs at the end of their antennae,” Barnhill said. “While moths have feathery or straight antennae.”

Other differences Barnhill offered were that butterflies are diurnal, or fly during the day, and moths are nocturnal. Butterflies also hold their wings together, vertically, over their backs.

Barnhill used his own arms to imitate how moths fold their wings horizontally over their backs.

“Does anybody know why they are called butterflies?” Barnhill asked as he rested his arms down from the wing demonstration. Audience members shook their heads, not knowing the answer.

Barnhill said that during the medieval times, butterflies were thought to

steal the cream from cows and then fly away. The name evolved from the color of the cream.

In Asian cultures, Barnhill said that butterflies were revered as “the souls of the dead.”

“So, how do we get these guys into our garden?” Barnhill asked.

“You have to have plants that the butterflies will feed on,” Barnhill told his listeners. “You need plants like the lantana, which will basically provide you with a nectar source.”

But gardeners need more than nectar sources if they want the butterfly to complete its entire life cycle (egg, larval, pupil, adult) in their gardens.

Host plants, such as the milkweed, are where butterflies lay their eggs.

Since caterpillars will chew on these plants during the larval and pupil stages, Barnhill said a little plant damage is expected.

Since each type of butterfly is

Hearse parade kicks off nENTERTAINMENT: Knott’s Second Annual Hearse Parade breaks record

By Samantha Gonzaga Daily Titan Staff Writer

Black crows speckled an overcast sky as a line of hearses stretched behind Buena Park Mall. A few speakers systems were tested for sound again and again the first few chords of organ music wafting thinly in the air.

In addition to being a major event to kick off the Halloween season, Knott’s Berry Farm’s Hearse Parade also had

another goal: to break the previous year’s world record of 53 hearses.

This year they succeeded in breaking that record, with 83 hearses registered for the parade.

Participating individuals received two tickets for Fright Night and meal vouchers.

“We actually have two of our own hearses,” said Dana Hammontree, a public relations representative for Knott’s Berry Farm.

“Our GM [general manager] thought it would be a good idea to set up a parade like this to welcome Halloween and Fright Night. Why not set a record while we’re at it?”

Earlier at 1:45 p.m. tallies were on the rise, quickly eclipsing last year’s

number.

“There’s about 60 now,” a teen-ager yelled in passing to friends.

Leaning against an off-white hearse decorated with black-violet bat art, Scott and Ellen McElhaney of San Diego did a quick count and agreed.

“Right now, we’ve got a little over 60 with more expected,” said Scott.

“We drove up here to take part of Knott’s promotion, and for the chance to get everyone in the club together, from all over the nation.”

In addition to announcements posted on Web sites and fliers, a network of hearse clubs proved to be an effective vehicle of dissemination.

Clubs as local as Los Angeles to locations as far as Arizona, informed

Guitarist plays for Mission Viejo camnMUSIC: Arturo F. Jasso taught foreign language for 27 years

By Emily Roberts

Daily Titan Staff Writer Professor Arturo F. Jasso likes playing the guitar while talking to a beautiful woman.

“It calms you,” Jasso said. “And inspires you.”

More than 75 students, faculty and staff were treated to Jasso’s guitar playing at the Mission Viejo Campus on Wednesday night as part of the Fifth Annual National Hispanic Month Concert and Dinner.

While attendees feasted on enchiladas, beans and rice inside the campus’ small library, Jasso started with a slow,

classical song.

Playing an acoustic guitar, Jasso moved effortlessly between classical, traditional dance and flamenco pieces.

He even treated the audience to one of his own pieces.

Sandy Klotz and Lisa Barragan, both graduate reading majors, said Jasso’s playing equally mesmerized them.

“It’s incredible; watch his hands,” Barragan said, pointing to Jasso’s hands as they slid seemingly effortlessly up and down the neck of the guitar.

Jasso said that music is a good way to teach Hispanic culture, especially using the guitar.

“Music is one of the main blocks of the cultural tradition,” Jasso said.

“And the guitar represents a big part of Hispanic culture.”

Jasso, who has been a foreign language instructor for 27 years and teaches classes on subjects such as

Film experts teach the basics despite new technology nTECHNOLOGY: Despite advances in equipment experts say old techniques should not be ignored

By Kelly Mead

Daily Titan Staff Writer Southern California is the movie capital of the world. Aspiring stars from all around the country flock to star-sprinkled Hollywood hoping to grab the largest chunk of film fame possible.

Cheaper and easier technology, like the Internet and digital video, are giving many hopefuls a greater chance of success.

Film experts hail the new advances, but advise beginners not to forget about the basics.

Modi, a director for Modivation Films who recently won an award for a Rollins Band rock video called, “Get Some Go Again,” is completely self-taught.

When asked what aspiring directors can do to further themselves in the industry, Modi said, “Pick up a camera. That’s the single most powerful thing you can do.”

New technology is changing the way Hollywood works.

“Film is dead, movies are forever,” said Barron Blackman, a video producer for CMP DV media group, when referring to digital technology’s threat to replacing film. “That’s why I call it moviemaking.”

Blackman pointed out that inexpensive technology is a benefit as well as a problem for people trying to break into the business.

“You can shoot and shoot and shoot,” he said. “You can give yourself so many choices that you’ll never get to the one that works.”

Blackman said that the typewriter is the most important tool an aspiring

moviemaker can get. To write good scripts, students can study older fields of entertainment, like live theater and radio theater.

“All of these things create stronger pictures in the other person’s mind,” Blackman said. “Adding real pictures is therefore a snap.”

Edward Fink, a professor in the TV/Film sequence, said that students will always have a need to learn conceptual basics like lighting.

“It doesn’t matter what technology you have,” he said. “If you don’t know how to tell a story, no one will want to watch it.”

Fink, however, does feel that new technology is opening up opportunities and jobs for aspiring moviemakers.

“Before, it started with a script and then you had to go out and look for money,” Frank said.

Fink pointed out that with new, cheaper technology, students can gather enough money to make the movies themselves without having to get money from other people.

Although Fink said he feels it is still too early to determine exactly what new technology is going to do to the film industry, he said that so far it has opened up new avenues for filmmakers.

Web sites that host short films are one way for filmmakers to get their work seen.

“People who couldn’t even get a pitch session before may have a Web video and people may see it, and that person may get notice,” he said.

Eveo.com is one avenue. The web site displays short films made by independent filmmakers. And if the work is good enough, an Eveo agent will represent the filmmaker.

Because all filmmakers aren’t caught up with new technology, Eveo takes submissions from various forms of media.

“We take any format,“ said Sally Mcquaid, an Eveo representative who finds new talent. “Tape, VHS, mini disk, DV.”

Gotta Catch Them All Here is a sample list of some products and services displayed at the DV and Web Video Expo: Sony: DSR-1800 Price: $2600 The DSR-1800 plays and edits clips shot by DV cameras. It’s unique feature is its jog/shuttle dial, which allows the controller to move in slow motion to edit frame by frame or edit by seconds. http://www.sony.com/professional ARTBEATS: Clips Price: Individual clips start at $149 ARTBEATS offers previously recorded scene clips that can be edited into digital film. Instead of spending time and money on filming an explosion, for example, you can buy one from ARTBEATS. Packages start at $299 and carry from 7 to 71 scenes. http:www.artbeats.com RealNetworks Downloadable software Price: Free RealNetworks offers software that is downloadable from the Web. The software allows you to play audio and visual pieces from the Web. It also has a radio tuner that will allow you to access stations from around the world. http:www.real.com Canon: 3D XL-1 Lens Price: Not set The 3D XL-1 Lens is an accessory lens which allows anyone to shoot in 3D. The recorded images can be used with standard 3D glasses. If the user has two projectors, cardboard glasses can be used. This product does not have a release date yet, but is expected to be on the market by the middle of next year.

Latin-American literature, said he looks forward to playing the event each year.

“Literature is my profession, but music is my passion,” Jasso said.

Through Jasso’s music, students said they were treated to a history of Latin-American music that night.

“I don’t hold it to a formal, highbrow setting,” Jasso said. “I use classical with flamenco styles, along with traditional Latin-American pieces. I use a mixture to produce a sample of Latin-American traditions.”

The annual event started when a former student of Jasso’s, Greg Yorba, became the librarian at the Mission Viejo campus and invited Jasso to come and play.

The library and Associated Students sponsored the event.

Yorba, who also plays the guitar, first heard Jasso play in one of the Latin-American literature courses he took 15 years ago and remembers how

much the students enjoyed it.

“Arturo’s a great person,” Yorba said. “He’s really enthusiastic about teaching and the students love him.

They just gravitate toward him.”

While Jasso said he does not have much free time to practice and perform due to his full load of classes, he often incorporates his music into the classes he teaches just like he did when Yorba was a student. Jasso added the guitar is especially helpful in teaching poetry.

“The guitar is relaxing like poetry,” he said. “A good poem is supposed to touch you and so is a good song.”

Jasso said he finds that while students may forget much of the reading they do in his classes, the songs stick with them.

“Students always remember one or two pieces that I played,” Jasso said.

“They always ask when they see me, ‘Do you still play the guitar?’”

“It’s never, ‘Do you still teach literature?’” he added.

with a fellow Times staffer and attorney Kelli Sager to discuss two major pieces of reform passed this year. One bill was signed, after being vetoed several times.

“It’s incredible to us, we’ve been fighting for four years,” Herndon said, noting that this bill requires agencies by law to provide information in electronic form if requesters ask for it.

Herndon said that previously, agencies didn’t have to follow this provision, they could give information in the least useful way–a huge, uneasily scanned dot-matrix printed stack of paper.

“Many times this was done deliberately to stifle or frustrate attempts to access public information,” Herndon said.

“The state most technologically advanced and technologically savvy had one of the worst provisions for public information in computers,” he said. “California has joined the 20th century, now that we’re in the 21st.”

Registration fees for the conference are $75-$105, or $30 for student attendees. For more information contact Pullen at (714) 278-3355.

Mel Opotowsky, a news media consultant and co-chairman of the assembly, said the workshops will benefit not only professionals, but also students.

“The workshops themselves will present practical information to students on how to report on government and public affairs when difficulties are thrown in their way,” he said.

CSUF Communications professor Wayne Overbeck and Megan Gray of Baker & Hostetler, Los Angeles will present the workshop “The First Amendment and the Internet.”

Overbeck said he will discuss government censorship on the Internet, along with copyright and trademark issues in cyberspace. Regarding the Napster issue, he has a strong view.

attracted to a different nectar and host source, Barnhill said gardeners should first research the kind of butterflies they hope to draw.

“For example, you should grow plumbago to attract blue butterflies,” said Barnhill, who mentioned that the blue butterflies are attracted to the plant’s blue and white flowers.

Aside from providing the proper enticing plants, gardeners need to create adequate environments for the colorful creatures. Barnhill recommended observing butterflies in nature and finding “where they like to hang out.”

“Butterflies like to sit on rocks for heat regulation, and they also like forest-like settings,” Barnhill said.

According to the Smithsonian Institute, butterfly gardens don’t have to be huge. A few potted plants on the balcony of an apartment will attract butterflies.

Barnhill agreed, but said butterflies also want to see a mass of plants.

“You need to put an abundance of attracting plants in your garden,” Barnhill said. “You want to have a big group of daisies or other different types of plants.”

But with these plants come other foreign creatures, and audience members raised questions about insecticides.

“If you’re going to have a butterfly garden, you need to think of another alternative for insecticides,” Barnhill said.

The use of insecticides and other poisonous substances can destroy the butterfly eggs, which rest on the plant leaves, he said.

Barnhill also advised gardeners to “think about irrigation.” Putting too much water on plants can destroy the nectar supply.

A few nectar and host plants were available for sale after the discussion ended. Participators also spent time leafing through butterfly literature, and viewed some of the different butterflies Barnhill referred to in his discussion.

Participators, such as Laura Mirwald of Fullerton, took home handouts about butterfly gardening.

“I thought it [the class] was great,” Mirwald said. “From knowing nothing, I feel I got a little understanding of the subject.”

Mirwald said she hopes to incorporate Saturday’s information with the upcoming native plant class scheduled for Oct. 28.

Like Mirwald, Libby Hickelton of Buena Park found the class beneficial.

“I liked it [the class],” Hickelton said. “Some of it was a little technical, but I think I’m going to try making a

storming sessions were police relations, traffic and activities in Brea.

There were two 45-minute sessions that were run by a core group of 17 Brea Olinda students.

During the first session, students picked an issue they wanted to talk about and sat at a table with some adults and shared what was on their minds.

After a short break, there was a second session and students switched tables and moved on to discuss a different issue.

There were six round tables in all.

Two tables held cards with the word Traffic in the middle and two tables were designated for Activities in Brea.

For the first session, no one was at the two tables designated for Police Relations.

At the four active tables, a facilitator was chosen to take notes on a large easel as discussions began.

At one of the Traffic tables, Parks and Recreation representative Bob Bickel sat with 11 students and listened while they discussed things such as making another lane on Wildcat Way, which is the street the high school is located on.

At the other Traffic table, students discussed the problems they encounter on State College Boulevard, Lambert and the Promenade on Birch Street.

They also suggested that there should be more ways to get to the high school.

At one of the Activities in Brea tables, council member Steven Vargas listened as students proposed that there should be teen clubs and teen zones, a bowling alley and a teen city council.

At the other Activities table, Perry listened while students suggested more hang out spots, an arcade and spoke about how more needs to be added to Brea because it’s a small city and there

isn’t much stuff for them to do.

It came down to these three topics being discussed at the round tables because it was these things that were deemed, by the students, to be most important to them, according to Brea Olinda senior, Scott Chu and junior Paige Ware.

“We came out with a survey and tried to pinpoint three main problems that needed solutions,” said Chu. Chu and Ware are both members of their schools’ Associated Student Body and they are part of the core group of students at the school that narrowed down the topics after hearing about them from the other students.

Chu and Ware said that they were able to get students to share their concerns with them and participate in the summit by setting up booths, passing out flyers, making announcements in homerooms and on the public address system.

Their efforts were meant to encourage their fellow students to get involved and discuss what was on their minds.

It was through the networking efforts of the students that this first teen summit was organized.

The students were the ones to go to area businesses and get them to donate 40 prizes that were raffled off at the summit, said Mary Katherine Parker, the Teen Coordinator for Brea’s community services.

Parker said that all students, from freshmen to seniors, were encouraged to get involved — those in sports, those in student council and those not involved in any extracurricular activity.

It was the ultimate goal of the summit to have the students’ suggestions be adopted by the city council and implemented, said Parker.

At the end of the summit there was a barbecue and a DJ on the back patio of the community center for everyone who participated.

“It’s a time for them to get together and talk informally after the discussions,” said Connie Olyer, a commu-

ing as that day approaches.”

For others, it was a chance to compare and admire different styles.

While about half stuck to the conventional polished black models, there are just as many who strayed from it.

Spots of white peeked out between darker-hued hearses; one of the most notable being a cream-colored model from 1930’s antiquity that stretched for at least 22 feet.

“Consider this as a car meet, also a ‘people’ meet,” said Tom Gifford, a Monrovia resident testing the speakers installed in his charcoal-colored hearse.

“I’ve known people who’ve seen a hearse driving down the street and follow it for five exits out of sheer curiosity.”

Phantom Coaches’ webmaster, Mark Villarino, found himself commending fellow hearse owners for the upkeep of their vehicles. His violet model was one of the two present that had siren lights perched atop its roof.

Like most of the drivers, he was attired in black but also donned a dark cape and top hat.

“I’m privy to information regarding events like this,” Villarino said. “When

I heard about it, I decided to attend. It’s an opportunity to see an assemblage of these vehicles, to see them together and mingle with other owners.”

“These are all customized. Some attendees decided to restore older models. Some have decided to add extras like clearing out the interior to add more speakers. Some added a smoke machine or lights so you can get a better view of what’s inside,” he continued.

As if to confirm his observations, a wisp of smoke puffed out of an open door then melted in mid-rise.

“These are accents of the personalities of their owners,” he said.

At 2:45 p.m., escorts were made ready to lead the line of hearses to circle the Knott’s Berry Farm theme park. Traffic was temporarily stalled at the corners of La Palma Avenue and Beach Boulevard to allow the parade’s progression.

Drivers from other cars stared, a bit surprised but entertained.

Sticking his head out of his father’s hearse, 21-year-old Ken Warren Jr. flashed a grin at spectators. A skeleton was sprawled on the roof of the hearse.

Whoops erupted from various sections of the line amid the beginning chords of organ music, signaling the presence of Halloween, alive and well.

It’s War ROTC students learn to mix strategy, fun and paint at Tombstone Paintball Park story by Magda Liszewska photography by Trisha Insheiwat

Dressed in army uniforms, with masks covering their faces and armed with the 32-inch long semi-automatic paintball guns powered by CO2, ROTC students entered the field of Tombstone Paintball Park last Friday to practice squad tactics.

The object of the game was to “kill” each other with paintballs and have fun. Approximately 60 cadets were divided into four teams led by squad leaders who decided on the best tactic to win each of the three 15-minute, two-squad games.

Between games, students took short breaks to rest, discuss the tactics and reload their guns.

Because of the masks, cadets could tell their enemies only by their reversed uniform jackets.

“You just go in and you shoot like crazy,” said Cadet Leonard Cruiz.

With bright, neon pink paintballs the size of hazelnuts whizzing all over the field at 200 mph, students ran around shooting at each other on three different fields. One field looked like a make-believe abandoned ghost town with houses, drums, old school bus and a couple of rusty old Volkswagen beetles.

Leader of the fourth squad, Rene Mahomed, used a battle body technique to lead his team to a victory in two games.

“What I did was to split them up in two teams.

I had everybody pair up with somebody,” he said.

“One person advances and the other one covers and then they switch off.”

Students were very excited about their Friday’s activity. Cruiz even painted his face in camouflage.

“It’s for motivation because you’ve got to be pumped up when you go paintballing,” he said.

Even cadets who got shot at the beginning of the game and had to leave the field did not get discouraged.

“My record is 30 seconds. I haven’t lasted a minute yet,” said Cadet Alice Mason. “I shot like three fires. I’ve got a lot to learn.”

Several students played paintball for the first time, and even the small pain of being hit did not get in the way of their enjoyment of the game.

“I got hit in the butt and I felt like Forrest

Gump,” said first-time player April Villanueva.

“It’s fun,” said Cadet Han Kim, ignoring the paint running down the left side of his face and a pink stain at the back of his left shoulder.

Andrea Alfaro got shot in the chest during one of the games.

“It hurts. I’m going to have a bruise,” she said.

A high school senior from Santa Fe, Alfaro said she wants to come to CSUF to major in psychology and criminology. She wants to join ROTC as soon as she graduates high school.

After the three games, students were divided into two groups and engaged in a 25-minute battle royale.

Hiding in trenches and crawling in bushes more colorful than a rainbow after previous games, with hardly any visibility and the repetitive clacking of automatic gunfire, cadets tried to locate and shoot as many opponents as possible.

Before leaving Tombstone Park, students left a bright neon pink mark on the field when they lined up to shoot all their remaining ammunition at the low wooden log wall on one of the sections of the game field.

After the game, students and instructors recognized Lt. Jason Moore Brown, who is leaving ROTC to start military police officer basic training in Missouri.

After receiving the plaque, Moore Brown addressed the battalion.

“You guys are the future of our battalion, the future of our army and our nation so don’t take your job lightly,” he said.

Major Sal Petrovia said Friday’s game was practice for squad leader training.

“It’s to practice troop leading procedures,” he said.

Petrovia said the game was also meant to provide students with the experience of the fog of war when hell breaks loose and bullets are flying everywhere.

Next semester cadets will be given specific scenarios and the game will have more specific objectives. The squads will have to use their troop leading knowledge to meet the objectives.

Clockwise from the top: A CSUF ROTC student appears annoyed after battle, CSUF ROTC student crawls on the battle field for a covert attack, a CSUF ROTC student outruns the path of a paintball, CSUF ROTC student camouflages himself.

Soccer splits two over weekend, share second in Big nWOMEN’S SOCCER: Laura Janke earned her first shutout in Sunday’s win over Boise State to keep Titans in Big West Race

By Michael Sandoval

Daily Titan Staff Writer The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team finished the first weekend in October splitting games.

With a loss to Idaho and a shutout win against Boise State, they’re tied for second in the Big West Conference.

The weekend started when the Titans lost a tough game against Idaho on Friday, 2-1. The game was settled in the first minute of the second overtime period when Megan Cummings from Idaho scored the winning goal from one-yard out.

CSUF’s Tennli Ulicny scored the only goal for the Titans with an assist from Rachel Ferrari, which tied the game and sent it into overtime.

On Sunday, CSUF faced the

Boise State Broncos and they took momentum from Friday’s tough loss as they shutout the Broncos 2-0.

CSUF showed they meant business after Friday’s defeat with a first-half goal scored at 5:30 of the first half. Monica Reade scored the first goal with help from Ulicny and Leah Sims. The Titans played most of the first half attacking the goal, breaking down the Bronco defensive wall brick-by brick. As a result, the Titans’ hard play frustrated the Broncos. The referee gave BSU’s Kate DeJana a yellow card for shirt pulling as the half winded down.

With the continued hard play on the offensive and defensive ends of the ball, CSUF scored the second and final goal of the game.

April Eggler put her name on the board, scoring at 76:07, her first goal of the season.

Goalkeeper Laura Janke also had a big game for CSUF, recording her first shutout as a Titan. CSUF ended the game with 19 shots on goal, with Ulicny taking five of them.

The defensive work by CSUF was impressive as they only allowed the Broncos to take six shots on goal for the whole game.

"I think we played really well, we have been building it up each game playing, I really think we moved the ball well," Titan midfielder Monica

Reade said.

"I felt we played hard for 90 minutes, we usually don’t," Titan forward Taryn Kupper said.

She also mentioned that she felt that they played good the whole time out on the field.

The win breaks a four-game losing streak for the Titans and improves their record to six wins and eight losses.

This improves their league record to.500 with two wins and two losses.

"We were hurting for a win today and they were very motivated," said Titan Assistant Coach Ali Khosroshahin. "We have been playing well the last four games, we just haven’t been able to finish, and today we got a couple of good finishes."

This game places CSUF behind UC Irvine and tied with Pacific University in the Big West Conference with four conference games left in the season.

CSUF’s next game is away against Utah State on Friday.

Utah State is 3-7 and undefeated in Big West competition at 1-0. The Titans have four Big West games remaining.

Volleyball is victorious at UCI for first time since 1996 nVOLLEYBALL: Williamsen’s 25 kills and Levey’s triple-double led the Titans to a four set win.

By Scott Brown

Daily Titan Staff Writer Orange County champions?

Cal State Fullerton women's volleyball team is halfway to the title after disposing of rival UC Irvine, 15-6, 13-15, 15-12, 15-13 Saturday night on the Anteaters' home court.

It was the first win in Irvine for CSUF (5-11, 1-4 Big West) since 1996, meaning that no current Titan had won at UCI before the weekend.

The Anteaters get a chance at redemption Nov. 4 in Titan Gym. The win was just the result of a solid week of practice, said Head Coach Mary Ellen Murchison. "(The coaching staff) really challenged them during the week," Murchison said,

"and the girls performed a lot closer to their potential than they had recently."

She was referring to the previous weekend, when the Titans lost at Pacific and Idaho.

"I think they were ready to take out some aggression after working so hard during practice,” Murchison added.

The Anteaters (6-7, 1-4) aren't likely to argue. CSUF had 95 kills in the match compared to 72 for the hosts. But what really pleased Murchison was the Titans' dig total - 124 - which indicated great floor coverage from the team.

"That number is unheard of in a fourgame match," she said. "It's got to be some sort of NCAA record."

CSUF took charge of the match from the outset, out-killing the Anteaters 19 to six in the 15-6 first game victory. UCI responded by becoming more aggressive in the second set and won it 15-13, but Murchison said even the game loss was a positive for the Titans.

"We had to make some adjustments in that game, and yet we still had a chance to win it," she said. "At the break (between the second and third games) we talked about how we hadn't played our best but we still had a real chance."

CSUF took the pivotal third game, 1512, keyed by senior Leilani Williamsen, who finished with 25 kills on the night.

UC Irvine fought valiantly to stay alive in the fourth, but the Titans' balanced attack kept the team fresh,and they closed out the match, 15-13.

"We had more girls to turn to late in the match than they did," Murchison said.

Megan Sabo once again led Fullerton with 26 assists and added 19 digs.

Six Titans had at least 15 digs in the match, led by Michelle Merritt's 25.

Setter Kim Levey had a rare triple-double with 10 kills, 49 assists and 21 digs.

"We got a number of solid performances," Murchison said. "I can't say enough about what Krista Bebernes did for us."

The sophomore had 15 kills and a surprising 35 assists as she and Levey alternated setting duties.

"Krista's development gives us a great deal of flexibility in running our offense," her coach said. "It allows us to give teams different looks."

The Titans look to maintain their momentum tonight as they host Cal State Northridge at 7 p.m.

A losing streak and a winning streak ended this past weekend as the Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team began Mountain Pacific Sports Federation play.

Most importantly for CSUF was the end of a four-game losing streak on Friday against San Diego State as they beat the Aztecs 1-0.

On Sunday, facing local rival UC Irvine, the Titans managed a 1-1 tie as Titan midfielder Art Ramirez scored on a header with less then a minute in the game to give CSUF a tie in its sixth overtime game of the season.

The tie ended CSUF’S eight game winning streak over the Anteaters.

“It was a well fought battle by both teams,” said UCI Head Coach George Kuntz .

It was a battle that wasn’t won by either side as the team’s played a tough

soccer match that was dominated by UCI early in the game.

The Anteaters scored the first goal of the game at 37:20 when midfielder Jon Spencer knocked in a shot that deflected off Titan goalkeeper Sean Rockwell’s hands from a cross by the Anteaters’ Lawrence Smalls.

CSUF played a stronger second half but almost lost the game, until Ramirez’s header from a Ricky Melendez pass beat Irvine goalkeeper Tyler Reid.

“It was a just a really good header on Ramirez’s part,” Kuntz said.

The goal was Ramirez’s third of the season and Melendez’s fourth assist.

After the dramatic finish to end the game, neither team was able to score in the two-15 minute overtime periods.

Thirty-nine fouls were called in the game, with UCI receiving six yellow cards and the Titans two.

“Any game between rivals is going to be a hard fought match,” acknowledged Kuntz.

Both goalkeepers had eight saves in the game as the Titans outshot UCI 28-15.

With the tie, the Titans now stand 7-4-1,1-0-1 in MPSF play.

But while the Titans were lucky to get a tie at UCI, on Friday against the Aztecs their concern was to make sure

their four-game losing streak didn’t reach five.

Brent Whitfield scored the winning goal at 69:58 on an assist from Melendez as the Titans shutdown the SDSU offense in the 1-0 win.

Rockwell made only two saves on nine Aztec shots while Aztec goalkeeper Brian Barnes made four saves on 18 shots from the Titans.

The victory was CSUF’s fifth consecutive MPSF opening win and fourth consecutive win over SDSU. For Whitfield, it was his third goal of the season.

The sophomore from Long Beach Poly has earned praise from Titan Head Coach Al Mistri of late. Mistri moved Whitfield into the starting lineup.

“Brent has earned his place in the starting lineup,” Mistri said. “He’s played very well for us.”

On Friday, Whitfield proved Mistri was right.

Next up for the Titans is a Friday MPSF match up against Cal State Northridge and a Sunday game at UC Santa Barbara.

It will be the teams’ final road games of the season. CSUF has been away from Titan Stadium since Sept.

10.

The Titans, who will play their last five games at home, have five MPSF games remaining on the season.

Huskers, ‘Caines or Vick?

Who will be number one?

By Scott Brown It seemed inevitable that Nebraska and Florida State would meet in this year’s Orange Bowl in Miami, to decide college football’s national champion

on January 3.

Everything changed, of course, after FSU’s own trip to South Florida last Saturday produced a loss to the Miami Hurricanes.

The defeat dropped the formerly top-ranked Seminoles to 7th in the Associated Press poll. And Nebraska [the new No. 1 this week] hasn’t exactly looked fearsome so far, stumbling past the likes of Missouri and Iowa State.

The Huskers are still in good position to make it to the Orange Bowl, but have two major road hurdles remaining.

In two weeks they travel to Oklahoma, which basically took a talented Texas team out behind the woodshed this past weekend.

If Nebraska survives that one, a date with Kansas State - the current No. 2 team in the AP poll - will almost certainly decide one- half of the national championship game.

The Nebraska-Kansas State winner, if undefeated, would need only to win the Big 12 title game [probably against Oklahoma again] to be guaranteed the holidays in South Beach.

The other Orange Bowl participant will likely be decided on Nov. 4, when Virginia Tech and Miami, two teams that happen to be ranked third and fourth, respectively, get together.

It’s easy to be so confident that these four are the only ones with a legitimate shot at winning it all. The reason: they play in pansy conferences.

Nebraska and Kansas State have the luxury of fattening up against mostly inferior Big 12 competition, and would both probably schedule Fullerton High as a non-league opponent given the chance.

And as fun as it is to watch Virginia Tech quarterback Michael Vick, part of the reason for his success is that the Hokies, like Miami, enjoy the same type of situation as members of the

Big East, which produces embarrassments like Rutgers and Temple.

You’ll notice none of the top four belongs in the Pac-10, Big 10 or SEC. That’s because the members of these three conferences spend too much time beating up on one another to regularly produce national contenders.

Washington, for instance, beat Miami earlier this year but promptly fell to Oregon once the Pac-10 schedule started. Michigan was No. 3 just a few weeks ago before losing at UCLA and Purdue, and now has no shot.

Georgia is playing as well as most anyone right now, but an early loss to SEC rival South Carolina, and a rugged remaining schedule, should prevent the Bulldogs from thinking big.

There is, of course, much football still to be played, and teams like Alabama, Wisconsin and Texas will tell you things can change quickly.

But as far as national contenders are concerned, the top quartet in the current polls might as well be considered the Final Four.

When cell phones go

Mobile phones have been known to take control of the peoples lives

By Lorraine Dominguez

Yesterday I left my house naked.

Well, at least that’s how I felt when I realized I had left without my cell phone.

I am officially addicted to it. And I am paying the price for it, literally.

What started out as something I was going to get “just for emergencies,” has ended up a necessity.

I don’t remember the last time I made a call on a regular phone and I just can’t seem to put the thing down.

It goes with me everywhere and has become my primary communication tool.

I don’t even know that many people to communicate with, but since I have had it, I can’t stop finding reasons to use it.

What started out as a $40 a month safety precaution has now become a $140 a month burden.

Daily Letters to the Editor should be brief and are subject to editing. They should also include a signature and telephone number.

Editorials are the opinion of the editorial board, comprised of the Executive Editor, News Editors and section editors.

Columns are the personal opinion of the writer. They do not reflect those of the university, the faculty, or the student body.

That’s higher than my car insurance bill. Where did I go wrong?

I have also noticed that I may not be the only one with this problem.

Everyday I see people walking around on campus and driving around in their cars, talking on their cell phones. What is happening to us?

Do we even remember a time when cell phones didn’t exist and our moms always made sure we had 20 cents on us in case of an emergency?

Remember using one of those things called a pay phone?

I remember. My 20 cents was in one of those little plastic Tupperware key-chains that looked like a little bowl with the air tight lid.

Now I see many kids walking home from school with at least a pager, if not a cell phone.

Is it our fault as individuals, or have we simply let technology get the best of us?

Are we changing as people ?

Have we become more impatient and lazy? Why can’t we wait just 10 more minutes until we get home to

make that call?

Maybe it’s not our fault at all. Our lives and jobs are much more fastpaced and busy that maybe we don’t have a choice but to move right along with today’s expanding technology.

Whether this is a good thing or bad, I do not know.

In any case, I know I have let the luxury of a cell phone take over my way of life.

Too many calls to friends and too many voice-mail messages have left me in negative in my bank account this month.

I am going to make a change and it starts with patience.

My new goal is to go back to the basics.

I need to start using it for how it was supposed to be used when I first got it, only for emergencies.

At least until 140 bucks isn’t a quarter of my paycheck anymore.

Cell phones have been used for more than just emergencies.

When the death penalty has a face to go with Paintings done by prisoner in San Quentin sentenced to death row can have an effect on people on the out-

By Terry Jolliffe

As an art lover and collector for many years, I’ve visited countless museums, galleries and Art in the Park showings. I’ve even found some of my most treasured pieces in antique stores and thrift shops.

So one day, while reading the newspaper, an article got my attention.

It said San Quentin Prison had a gift shop that sold art done by prisoners.

San Quentin was only about 15 minutes from my home.

That weekend, we drove over to see this “gift shop,” which looked more like a storage area in the corner of an old garage by the prison gates.

There was the typical artwork with daggers and drops of blood, sketches of angry looking young men with an array of tattoos that I believed to be mainly self-portraits, and several penand-ink sketches, but nothing I’d have hung on my walls.

But I was immediately drawn to a lone painting on the floor, the only one of its kind.

It was a beautiful acrylic floral painting; an orchid, done in perfect harmonious colors to match the Terra cotta walls of my guest bedroom.

When the man said it was $50, I nearly threw the money at him and ran before he could discover he had made a mistake.

“Wow, not only do I love this painting and got a terrific price, but what a conversation piece this will be,” I chuckled to myself, feeling like I had

just hit the jackpot.

But when I got the painting home and began trying to figure out how I wanted it framed, I came across a tag on the back of it that read, “Death Row Artist – “acrylic painting on genuine canvas panel.”

Also, on the back, I found a note to the person who purchased the painting. It read, “PURCHASER: I would really appreciate it if you would be so kind as to provide me with a photograph of this painting for my records, if at all possible, please.

If you send a Polaroid photograph, please be sure to cut off the access white edge portion. It should be trimmed down to approximately the same size as around the rest of the picture. This is necessary for Polaroid photographs to be acceptable here: although regular type photographs are

preferable whenever possible.

Thank you very much.” And his name and address were included.

The discovery of this note pretty much stopped me in my tracks. My excitement of finding a treasure came to a screeching halt and trepidation set in.

This was pretty heavy stuff. All of a sudden this artist had a name and was a real person, who was going to be put to death.

This man’s painting—so beautiful and done with such sensitivity—what monstrous crime had he committed to have ended up on death row?

My husband and I have lost someone close to us due to a senseless murder, and our feeling was and still is, “We hope the s.o.b. burns!”

San Quentin State Prison in San Rafael, is just a few miles north of the

Golden Gate Bridge, and was built in the mid 1800’s to deal with the problems of criminal activity due to the influx of men moving west to strike it rich in gold.

This painting that I still love after all these years, still haunts me. I am never able to look at it without thinking of the artist who has been sentenced to death.

I was able to learn by going online that he has been in prison for many years and the Supreme Court has affirmed his sentence. He will die by lethal injection.

Someday, I may read of his pending execution. By then, I will probably learn what his crime was. Then again, maybe I don’t want to know.
