PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT: It takes lots of practice to move into the upper echelons of archery competition. Archer Veronica Purpura, junior illustration major, takes a steady aim while her teammate Zack Feaselman, perpares for his next shot.
Archery Club Right on Target
Shooting arrows 70 meters at 265 feet per second requires practice, patience By Laura Lujan
For the Daily Titan
Precision, focus, composure and confidence – all are characteristics that make for success in the classroom as well as the career path; and according to the Archers of Cal State Fullerton, they are also the essentials of the perfect shot. “An arrow travels 265 feet per
second. The only way you can hit that small of a target with a bow while standing 70 meters away is to be perfectly calm and work through the process,” said archery club coach Karl Karanen, pointing to a tennis ball in the grass as a size reference. Karanen said archery is similar to golf in that it requires strong mental aptitude, focus and great discipline. “Imagine what those skills can do for you when you go in to take a test,” Karanen said. Brent Ferguson, a biology major and founder of the club, said his training is a great stress reliever
for him. “A lot of people think itʼs one of those things where you picture someone youʼre mad at,” he said. “It really isnʼt.” Zach Feaselman, a 20-yearold history major and member of the club, said the mental training acquired through practice in archery has helped his thinking process and has proven valuable for class projects and exams. “When you shoot you have to work through the whole process mentally,” Feaselman said. “It helps you to better plan the structure of how to handle a complex problem.”
Universities Unite for Worthy Cause Fullerton joins forces with rival UCLA to raise money for Children’s Hospital By Elizabeth Simoes
Daily Titan Staff Writer
Cal State Fullerton may consider UCLA a rival when it comes to sports and academics; however, the two universities can both support a worthy cause. UCLA is hosting its 7th annual Run/Walk on Sunday. The 5K race raises money for the Mattel Childrenʼs Hospital at UCLA. “We specifically donate to the Child Life/Child Development program at the hospital,” said Kacie McFarland, a UCLA senior and co-director of the Run/Walk. “The kids are chronically ill and have to stay in the hospital. They try to help the kids have a normal life.”
Last year the event raised $41,000 for the hospital, McFarland said. The goal for this yearʼs contribution is $50,000. Maureen Hagan, a UCLA senior and co-director of the Run/Walk, has been involved with the event for three years. Hagan said she was drawn to the event because it donates directly back to the children. “Child Life is special because it deals with the social and psychological needs for children in the hospital,” she said. “Itʼs important to have this fundraiser. A lot of kids at Mattel are going through huge ordeals we as adults couldnʼt imagine.” Hagan added the program provides a therapist for the young patients and their families as well as a playroom. Although the 5K benefits the hospital and is rewarding to all those involved, it also poses a SEE RUN/WALK= PAGE 5
New entrance offers extra lanes for increased access as campus continues to grow By Stacy Serna
Daily Titan Staff Writer
A new driveway to Cal State Fullerton opened May 12 on Nutwood Avenue next to the Marriot Hotel and will soon become one of two front entrances to the campus. The public will no longer be able to enter the campus on Commonwealth Avenue at the end of the summer. However the new entrance offers four entrance lanes and three exit lanes as opposed to the two-lane entrance and exit currently available. Michael Smith, director of Design & Construction, said that along with the new driveway, an intersection next to the Marriot will be completed in August. In the mean time however, guests of CSUF may use the current exit and entrance. “We will get rid of the front entrance and are hoping people will find the signs helpful to getting the new building up,” he said.

If the public misses the first entrance to the school, another entrance located on Titan Drive can also be used to enter the campus. The construction is due to the new College of Business and Economics, Steven G. Mihaylo Hall and will begin the first week of June. The new building will be incorporated with Langsdorf Hall and will be completed in fall 2008, Smith said. CSUF has experienced many construction issues, but many hope the construction of Mihaylo Hall will go smoothly. “Itʼs a transition from old to new and with any new construction site there will be the break-in period,” Lt. Will Glen of CSUF field operations said. “It was well designed and planned; it will serve the campus adequately.” Commencement services are in less than two weeks and the campus expects 25,000 family and friends to arrive on campus. Public Safety said they will have to moderate traffic flow to keep things moving. “We are working with the city of SEE DRIVEWAY = PAGE 9

Dwinell hunched down low and quiet behind Jacobsen as the firing continued. He slumped over into Dwinellʼs trembling arms. She looked to him and called his name, but Jacobsen gave no answer, so she dragged him over to a file cabinet as he gasped for breath. She looked on helplessly and watched him die. He was 32 years old. In all, seven died during a shooting rampage, which authorities said lasted no more than five minutes in what is now the Pollak Library basement and the first floor lobby. Allaway, later diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, claimed certain co-workers had driven him to kill. They taunted him about his wife, he said. They forced her to appear in pornographic films, he told a psychiatrist after his arrest. Next in Allawayʼs path were graphic artist Frank Teplansky, 51, and professor emeritus Seth Fessenden, 72. The two were working in the graphics department. Pinned on the walls around them were caricature sketches Teplansky had drawn of fellow media center personnel.

Now a sport, archery has come a long way from its beginnings as a means of survival in the form of hunting and warfare. The earliest known evidence of the use of a bow and arrow dates back 50,000 years, according to Wikipedia.org. The mass appeal of archery today is largely due to the fact that people of all ages and physiques can practice it.

On the morning of July 12, 1976, photographer Paul Herzberg was sitting on the edge of a table in an office in what is now the Pollak Library. Across from him Bruce Jacobsen, a media center assistant, leaned against the wall. To his left, secretary Karen Dwinell sat at her desk. Herzberg was talking to his coworkers about his recent European vacation when a gunman fired one shot and entered the room. Herzberg rose to protect Dwinell, who sat directly in the path of the shooterʼs icy stare. A bullet penetrated his chest. A second bullet struck him in the skull. He was 30 years old. He sank into the floor, the second of nine to be shot on a sunny Monday by a deranged janitor named Edward Charles Allaway. The first bullet struck Jacobsen in the chest, but it happened so quickly, his co-workers hadnʼt realized. Jacobsen hit Allaway over the head with a metal statue, which authorities later found clutched in his lifeless fingers. But an unfazed Allaway shot Jacobsen again, this time at point-blank range. Jacobsen stepped away slowly. Dwinell followed him as he sought coverage in a conference room at the back of the office. The gunman fired once more inside.
