CSUF leaders on the hot seat Town hall event gives students opportunity to quiz administration BRIAN CHESTER Daily Titan

Students got a chance to grill their campus leaders on Thursday during “Pizza With the Presidents,” an open forum which put decision makers in the hot seat.

President Mildred García and Associated Students Inc. President Rohullah Latif joined seven other university leaders at the event in the Becker Amphitheater.

Panelists answered questions regarding the university’s strategic plan, parking issues, the campus smoking ban and other concerns.

Cal State Fullerton’s strategic plan is a five-year plan that consists of four goals seeking to prepare students for academic and professional success. President García said the plan is all about student success.

Property no longer Sex-trafficking victims call attention to prevalence of illegal sex trade in Orange County at conference CHU-LING YEE Daily Titan

Rachel Thomas, Cody Foute and D’Lita Miller were able to escape lives as victims of human trafficking, but most victims are not so fortunate.

All three of them are now united by shared histories. They help educate and advocate on the prevalence of human trafficking and how others can prevent themselves and loved ones from becoming victims of abuse.

The women told their stories at Cal State Fullerton’s 14th annual Violence Prevention Conference. This year’s event was titled “Technology & Trafficking: Predatory Behaviors and Gender Violence” and took place on campus.

The WoMen’s Center hosted the conference, which raised awareness about gender violence by addressing the issues about the different types of predators, how to protect oneself and acknowledge when someone needs help.

About 72 percent of human trafficking victims working domestically are United States citizens, said Deputy District Attorney Bradley Schoenleben of the human exploitation and trafficking unit.

Many pimps in Orange County come from other counties.

Schoenleben explained how pimps know who to target and how to lure in young females.

The majority of the females are either runaways or throwaways that come from unstable homes.

Two of the women, Foute and Miller, came from broken homes and began working as sex slaves.

Senior Nikki McCants’ game winning goal broke a drought of 268 minutes VINCENT LA ROSA Daily Titan

Senior forward Nikki McCants’ goal in the 88th minute sealed a tense victory for the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team over UC Santa Barbara on Sunday night.

The win snaps a two-game losing streak for the Titans and moves them just two points behind UC Riverside for the all-important fourth position in the Big West Conference.

Having gone two straight matches without a goal, the women of CSUF came out firing from the opening whistle of their home contest with the Gauchos of UCSB. But despite outshooting their opponent 10-1 in the match’s opening frame, the Titans found themselves once again unable to find that elusive goal through the initial 45 minutes. They came close less than 10 minutes in.

CSUF forced into draw after goal flurry Titan Stadium fans were shocked by three goals in a span of 53 seconds ABRAHAM JAUREGUI Daily Titan

After leading most of the match, the Cal State Fullerton’s men’s soccer team tied 2–2 with UC Irvine after a whirlwind 53 seconds where three goals were scored in front of 619 shocked fans.

Among those stunned fans were members of the 1993 Final Four men’s soccer team who were honored before the match at Titan Stadium on Saturday night.

vantage after a beautiful first half cross from sophomore midfielder Colin Okirie to junior midfielder Garrett Losee to put the Titans on the board.

Their one goal lead wouldn’t be enough as the Anteaters scored with seven minutes remaining in the game on a cross to forward Enrique Cardenas who headed the ball and caused confusion to Titan senior goalkeeper Bryan Escalante and junior defender Fermin Villalba, as the ball bounced off of Villalba’s midsection and rebounded in the goal.

Nine seconds later, CSUF junior forward Marc Fenelus took the ball past the Anteater’s defenders and shot a goal to the low far post to put the Titans back up with five minutes left to play.

Forty-six seconds later, the Anteaters broke the Titans’ defense again and def lated the home crowd and their loud thunder sticks, as Anteaters midfielder Marco Franco sent a cross to forward Dennis Martinez, who f licked it from inside the box, off the post and

into the goal.

That goal became the equalizer and the game ended in a draw.

The tie brought the Titans overall record to 6-6-1, and their Big West Conference record to 3-1-1, while the Anteaters move their record to 7-4-3 overall, 2-2-1 Big West.

“A typical open game, two teams wanting to get a win.

Obviously, for us, the tying goal was a def lating thing there, but when teams are desperate, taking all kinds of chances, all those type of things happen. Obviously, over the moon about response so quickly and going up immediately after, and obviously a little bit disappointed on giving up the tying goal,” said Head Coach Bob Ammann, who was overall very pleased with the fight and desire of his team.

Coming into the match, the Titans were riding a threegame conference win and shutout streak, and shared a spot for first place in the Big West South Division with Cal State Northridge.

In the first half, it looked as

if the Titans were headed for a fourth win and possible shutout as their defense appeared locked in, denying the Anteaters long ball strategy.

In the 35th minute of the first half, the Titans scored on a perfectly placed cross from Okirie to Losee.

“We were pressing hard, and probably 20 minutes in, the ball got wide, we crossed it and I was able to get on the end of it and finish,” said Losee, who scored his second goal in as

many games.

With 10 minutes left in the second half, the Titans continued to pressure the Anteaters’ defense as junior midfielder Spencer Johnson blasted a shot about 25 yards out.

The shot passed UCI goalkeeper Michael Breslin’s outstretched arms, off the far post, but unfortunately for the Titans, bounced down the goal line and out.

THE DAILY TITAN TRAFFICKING

Foute was 14 when she was placed in a group home. She became a sex worker after a friend had informed her about the “glamour” of making money from having sex.

Foute got the courage to escape in 2011 after she was beaten in front of her daughter.

Miller’s mom was on drugs and her father was absent.

“I felt like a rag doll as I was held down and raped repeatedly by several men,” Miller said.

She became a medical assistant, but ended up back in the human trafficking trade when she was unable to pay her bills and provide for her five children. Miller did not leave for good until she was 30.

Foute and Miller are now advocates for awareness of human trafficking. Miller is currently the program director of California Against Slavery Research and Education. She helped advocate for Proposition 35, which California voters passed in 2012. The initiative increased the maximum pos-

sible prison sentence for adults convicted of sex trafficking from five years to 20; additionally, forcing a minor into the sex trade can result in a life sentence, as opposed to eight years previously.

“We were victims; then we became survivors, but now we are leaders,” Miller said.

Pimps try to target youths by finding them at places such as the bus stop or online. They then coax the females into trusting them by treating them with kindness and making them feel loved.

Soon, the pimp isolates his victim and starts controlling her by checking her phone. He abuses her and forces her to engage in sexual acts. Pimps often have a history of anger and violence issues.

“They know how to screw with these kids’ heads so much that they now want these guys’ approval. They’ll do anything for them,” said Schoenleben, explaining why some victims are unable to leave their abusers.

Some stay because they are threatened and fearful, while others stay to please their pimps because they believe they

are truly loved by them. These women are belittled and their self-esteem shattered.

Pimps sometimes will keep the identification card of their victim as “proof of ownership,” decreasing the chance of a victim running away.

Allisha Tillman, adopted by Miller, escaped human trafficking last December. Tillman was gang raped and serviced men in Los Angeles and Orange County.

“You can’t leave. It’s just hard to leave. ... What am I supposed to do?” Tillman said. “I have no choice but to have with sex with these guys and bring back money that he told me to bring back.”

Schoenleben said customers of the sex trade, known as “johns,” sometimes beat the women, and pimps will do nothing to stop it. Pimps collect their money and do not care if a woman is sick or is hurt in the process. He added that this is an issue and it has expanded.

There are websites where johns can choose any race, eye color, body shapes, or women who are willing to engage in fetishes, said Schoenleben.

Human trafficking victims can come from even the most stable homes.

Rachel Thomas, another victim, was born to an attorney and a deacon. While she was attending Emory University, a man approached her commenting on her beauty and said he could help her be a model. She refused, as she was planning on finishing college.

She was approached again the same night, this time by a woman. She told her she was

gorgeous and she should model.

Thomas agreed to try it and was cast in a music video. She was excited and signed a contract agreeing to pay $25,000 to be represented by Candy Girl Casting for a year.

Mike, Thomas’ “agent,” told her to do what he wanted. She dropped out of college and began working in a strip club and having sex with men for money.

She had been tricked into human trafficking. Mike hit her,

threatened to harm her parents and broke down her selfesteem. She was soon forced to become a recruiter, targeting women in college.

Thomas escaped this lifestyle when another female victim went to the police. She began helping the police and was subsequently placed in the witness protection program.

Mike is in prison now, and Thomas hopes students will learn from her experience.

One in four women and one

in ten men will be sexually assaulted at some point during their duration in college, said Mary Becerra, interim director of the WoMen’s Center.

Eric Nicholson, 22, a human services major, said the conference made him “realize that (sex trafficking) does actually happen even though it’s hidden from our view.”

There are a variety of predators on the spectrum, Becerra said.

She said that she hopes people learn how to protect themselves.

Fake quake shakes campus Students prepare for big California quake with Great ShakeOut drill EMILY ORNELAS For the Daily Titan

It is a typical Monday night at home. Reruns of Game of Thrones flicker on the screen.

Then, all of sudden, everything starts shaking. Dishes are falling over, crashing to the floor.

A home is falling apart. It is over in about 60 seconds, but the damage is unimaginable.

Situations like the one described are extremely common in Southern California, but the necessary precautions are rarely acknowledged or remembered.

Cal State Fullerton made an effort to raise awareness of earthquake safety last week with the

Great California ShakeOut. According to the United States Geological Survey, California is ranked second (behind Alaska) for highest earthquake activity in the country. The Golden State gets about 23.2 percent of earthquakes in America.

On Thursday at 10:17 a.m.

CSUF held an emergency earthquake drill to prepare students for real future evacuations. Students were instructed over campuswide speakers and text message alerts to “not panic or run” and “protect your head.”

Taryn Martinez, 19, was surprised at what lengths the school took to raise earthquake awareness.

“I didn’t expect the school to take it as seriously as they did …

I was shocked that it lasted for the two minutes it was supposed to,” she said.

WHAT TO DO

The announcement was campuswide and was heard as far as all three parking structures.

Outside, students crowded to an open area, while those indoors took shelter under their desks and covered their heads.

The purpose of the drill occurring at a “random time” was to catch students off guard, much like a real earthquake would.

Last week, the “Quake Cottage” made an appearance on campus. It was a trailer that simulates a magnitude 8.0 earthquake for students to experience.

The trailer has been traveling all over the state and been featured on the Today Show and Dateline NBC. Inside the trailer, a movie is played showing a house from the inside, crumbling during an earthquake. The trailer then be-

gins to shake violently and participants must hold onto bars attached to their chairs to keep from falling out.

Most students laughed as if they were on a roller coaster.

The most recommended safety precautions for earthquakes are: if in bed, cover your head with your hands or a pillow, and if indoors do not run outside.

In some cases, earthquakes are so large that it becomes impossible to run or move. Grab onto the legs of a table while underneath it for protection.

The most common mistake people make regarding earthquakes is not being prepared.

Some necessities after a major earthquake include food and water — a gallon a day per person — a first-aid kit and a flashlight, according to the Department of Conservation.

“The strategic plan is all about you,” President García said. “It is about ensuring that you ... go out and do those wonderful things you’re going to do as alums, and then come back and give back to the university that gave you a fabulous career.”

To make sure students have the opportunity to be involved, President García said there will be a town hall meeting in the spring, where students can air their concerns regarding the implementation of the strategic plan.

Latif said it is important for students to have a say in this process.

“A lot of students are coming up to me and saying, ‘Hey, the university is doing a strategic plan, what does that really mean?’” Latif said. “It’s an important process and it’s great that the students are interested and they’re taking part in this program.”

Newly appointed Dean of Students Tonantzin Oseguera, Ph.D., is working to get students engaged. Oseguera said she wants to get students involved on campus to be part of those strategic planning committees.

As adviser to ASI, Oseguera said she is finding different ways to support to make sure that there is an alignment between what the student government does and the university connection.

Stephen G. Garcia, interim vice president and chief financial officer, addressed the students’ concerns on parking. He said there are plans to improve parking, but there is not enough money.

“The president has asked that we look at all options before we do anything, including increasing your parking fee,” Stephen García said. “That’s the last thing we want to do, but I can’t say we’ll never do it because it’ll probably happen.”

Stephen Garcia said the loss of parking spaces could be due to development of the College Park building and increased enrollment. He said that the university is investigating different parking possibilities, such as stack parking and having alternate parking lots adjacent to the campus.

He also commented on the rule implemented on Aug. 1 that made CSUF a smoke-free campus.

Stephen Garcia said his mother and father both died from emphysema. He said he knows how hard it is to quit, and is sensitive on the subject from both standpoints.

He wants to make sure that the campus is safe for all students.

“I’m really a firm believer in that we have to do our share to contribute to a healthier environment, to a greener campus, and this is all part of it,” Stephen García said. “It’s all about you, and we want to make it a better environment for you.” President García said she thinks the new smoking ban is working, and that she doesn’t see students smoking as she walks around campus.

“It is a community effort,” President García said. “We all have to work together on this, and it is important to everybody’s health. Because it’s not only the smoker, but as you know, second hand smoke affects people as well.”

President García also addressed the growing diversity of CSUF, stressing the importance of hiring a diverse faculty and staff.

She said about five percent of the student population consists of international students, which helps give a different perspective of what’s happening throughout the entire world.

“We have become a global world,” President García said.

“And if we are going to be successful living in this world, we have to know how to live, work and create new knowledge together. I look at this university as an educational laboratory.”

President García encouraged students to learn a language other than English, which she said would be a great asset when starting a new career.

“We are here because of you, and we are here so that you can reach your dreams,” President García said. “We respect the student voice, and we want to know what you’re thinking. Thank you for choosing Cal State Fullerton.

Students compete for Boeing Business students compete to win a spot in a networking lunch with Boeing Co. professionals MATTHEW HADDIX Daily Titan

Eight student volunteer teams presented a financial report and gained realworld feedback on their reports from a panel of judges from Boeing Co. on Friday at Steven G. Mihaylo Hall.

Business students competed for a chance to be part of a Boeing networking lunch, where they can meet industry professionals and potentially advance their careers.

The teams were given a specific case around which to mold their financial projection based on global market conditions.

This year’s case was focused on commercial satellite expansion on a global scale.

Following the introduction of the case in late September, the teams paired up with a Boeing mentor and were given three weeks to prepare for Thursday.

The students found themselves spending hours on the project, while also trying to juggle their presentations with midterms and other commitments.

“We had a lot of stuff going on, school, midterms, work, but at the same time we were able to manage our times effectively in order to present this,” said Rohullah Latif, a member of the team Titan Con-

sulting. “We were up to 2 a.m. for the last week,” said Sagar Patel, one of Latif’s teammates.

While the students created their presentations, Boeing mentors gave feedback and direction.

communicate with us. It was just a very good experience with him,” said Richard Walls of Team Mihaylo.

On presentation day, dressed in full business attire, team members stuck close to one another.

“We got a lot closer to each other; we were basically living with each other,” Patel said.

Students were given 20 minutes to present their case. Then the floor would be opened up to the panel of judges for a 10 minute question and answer session.

The judges did not hold back in their criticism, but it was done with a mentoring tone. Teams were critiqued on style, content, and approach to their cases.

“I see this as an opportunity for me to play, to practice, to have fun, before I have to go and do this in the real world,” said Quang Tien of the team Titan Dreamliner.

All teams participating in the case study were given given a certificate of recognition, as well as ample time to rub elbows with the Boeing panel.

Ultimately, the top two teams were chosen to participate in the Boeing networking lunch. Titan Dreamliner was named the winner, and Team Mihaylo finished in second place.

However, for two members of the Titan Dreamliner team, the victory was bittersweet.

“Unfortunately two of our team members are international students; there is a rule about no international students,” Tien said.

Although the international students were aware of this ahead of time, they still put in a large amount of time and effort into the presentation to contribute to their team’s winning effort.

Tien said the rule keeping international students from claiming their prize was an unfortunate regulation, but there wasn’t anything that could be done.

Twenty-one Cleveland residents set themselves on fire to break a world record Saturday, according to USA Today.

The previous Guinness World Record for the most people to perform full-body burns simultaneously was 17 people, set in 2009.

Participants of this full-body burning protected themselves from flames by wearing multiple layers of gel-soaked clothing.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that the 21 participants were on fire for 32 seconds. A representative from the Guinness World Records was in attendance to verify the new record.

“We take a lot of heat in Cleveland as the Burning River City,” said John Gadd, CEO of Hotcards, a printing company that sponsored the event. “Yet, it became the catalyst for a lot of Cleveland pride, including environmental movements, breweries, and a whole lot of ‘Hot in Cleveland’ fame.”

The event doubled as a fundraiser for the Cleveland Food Bank and Brick by Brick Organization, headed by local minister Mark Simone.

Each incident involved UCI students and occurred on the UCI campus.

Tatuiko is also charged with two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon. He was arrested Oct. 9 at his first-year housing community on campus.

According to court documents, the series of incidents took place during the first week of October. Tatuiko was accused of exposing himself twice and assaulting the victim.

Similar incidents on campus within the week are believed to involve Tatuiko.

A serpentine oarfish has washed ashore in Southern California for the second time in a week, according to the Orange County Register.

The 14-foot long fish was discovered Friday at the Oceanside Harbor beach.

An oarfish was recently discovered in the Catalina Island waters and measured 18 feet long.

Both oarfish were discovered dead and the latest fish was found to be pregnant.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), these fish were quite small compared to other oarfish that may grow as large as 50 feet long. The oarfish is the longest bony fish in the world.

The rare species remains relatively unknown and is typically not seen near shore. Oarfish generally stay hundreds or even thousands of feet below the water’s surface.

The NOAA took possession of the animal for research. It is estimated that the latest sea serpent weighed over 200 pounds.

Studying abroad a priceless experience The benefits of earning an education overseas outweigh the costs SARAH GERHARD Daily Titan

Contrary to what some students may believe about studying abroad—like the misconception that it is just four months of belligerent partying—there are actually a multitude of academic and cultural benefits.

From internships and jobs to gaining academic experience in a

different country, the opportunities are endless.

According to a 2011 Cal State Fullerton annual report on studying abroad, “the total number of students studying abroad was 282 (compared with 148 in 2009-10).”

The dramatic 90.5 percent increase indicates the growing popularity of studying abroad.

However, many students have a lot of misconceptions and questions about studying abroad as far as living, academic and transportation costs. For the most part, these issues can be avoided through seeking financial help.

Cal State Fullerton offers internship opportunities and provides financial aid to help those students looking to study abroad on a budget.

As posted on the BBC Travel site, “the United States attracts the most international students, according to the Institute of International Education, with 691,000 students studying abroad in the U.S.” In the fall semester of 2012, CSUF was home to 1,318 international students.

Business administration and communications currently stand

as the most popular majors to have students studying abroad at CSUF, because they offer a wider field of opportunities.

At CSUF, beggars really can be choosers as you can gain your academic experience all over the world including countries like Australia, Germany, Switzerland, China, and the United Kingdom who all offer different opportunities and benefits.

Mark Salisbury, director of institutional research and assessment at Augustana College in Illinois, said “many times it

reshapes the way they think about their own career plan, and they take a more reflective turn on the role that they’re going to play in the world as it relates to their career plans. And oftentimes, you talk to people who studied abroad 50 years ago, and they will tell you that was the most powerful experience that they had.”

As someone who has had a personal experience studying abroad in London, England, I could not agree more with Salisbury on the fact that studying abroad truly reshapes

the way you think, learn and see the world and future plans.

Students approaching the opportunity of studying abroad with the mentality of drinking and partying will be welcomed with a rude awakening.

The university’s study abroad program requires that students pass 12 units worth of courses during a semester.

The classes required vary depending on a person’s major, just like any other academic semester, and should be thoroughly looked into.

Who says trying to see an entire country, do your homework and go to class was easy?

Students who take advantage of the internship, which is not required by CSUF but highly recommended, will be required to register and submit a work visa for the country they attend.

The benefits that can come out of an international internship greatly outweigh any other internship experience in the United States.

Not only will students earn points towards their major requirements for this experience but it is a great opportunity to continue networking and create contacts overseas.

Businesses appreciate a person who is cultured and who has had experience outside the comfortable bubble that is Orange County.

Overall, the experience of earning an education overseas should not only be encouraged but required by California state law.

Too many students go into adulthood closed minded and cut off from a more cultured, global society.

No more are the days of a dull life and college routine; take a chance, step outside your comfort zone and into a whole new world of possibility.

US ineffective in stopping the war on drugs The country’s firm hand in dealing with narcotics is leading to drug violence PATRICK RYAN

For the Daily Titan

During the four decades fighting the war on drugs, the United States has spent over a trillion dollars in effort to curb drug use.

However, despite all that money spent, drug use remains relatively unchanged over time, and the drug violence driven by the black markets created by the drug war takes more and more lives every year.

The battle to curb drug use has evolved throughout the 20th century; however, this battle turned into a highly publicized struggle when President Richard Nixon declared the war on drugs in 1971.

The war on drugs is the essence of social engineering.

By making drugs illegal to use, possess, buy, sell, manufacture or transport, the government hopes to change the public’s attitudes and behaviors towards drugs.

However, this tactic has yet to show the results the government hoped for. Drug usage rates remain virtually unchanged four decades after

Nixon’s declaration.

Recently, from 2002 to 2010, drug use has actually risen from around 8.2 percent to 8.5 percent, with a low of 8 percent over the eight years.

The government has spent over a trillion dollars and imprisoned hundreds of thousands of people, but has yet to see widespread change.

Clearly, criminal penalties for the use or sale of drugs have not discouraged people from partaking in these illegal activities, contrary to what drug laws and anti-drug crusaders had hoped for.

Needless to say, the government war on drugs is a com-

plete and utter failure.

The failure to significantly lower America’s drug use rate is not the worst part.

The most adverse affect of the war on drugs is the creation of black markets and the violence associated with them.

The prohibition of drugs has forced many to resort to illegal means to satisfy their needs.

Drugs are not readily available in convenience stores, so people have to seek out dealers.

Because of this, the black market has flourished with drug cartels and dealers distributing their product.

The black market brings danger to a community, with dealers and cartels having to settle disputes themselves without the help of law enforcement.

Since drugs are illegal, drug dealers have no legal recourse to protect their drugs, drug territory, or seek legal damages for any stolen merchandise.

Drug cartels and dealers en-

joy no such protections.

There are no laws making the theft of drugs illegal.

As a result, drug dealers resort to violence to either protect or steal drugs.

Drug dealers cannot rely on local law enforcement to track down a thief or call upon property rights to protect their drug territory.

Drug dealers have to track down thieves or rivals; they have to protect their turf on their own and remedy the situation themselves.

They accomplish this by killing those involved, occasionally causing harm to innocent individuals in the vicinity.

The federal ban on alcohol in the 1920s, also known as Prohibition, failed to curb the use of illegal substances, but consequences of the black market.

Prohibition saw a countless number of murders and crimes, while alcohol was still readily available for public consumption.

Thankfully, the country learned that the creation of black markets from Prohibition had more costs than benefits and did not significantly ebb the flow of alcohol use.

The restrictions on alcohol ended two decades after its implementation.

America should take a lesson from the Prohibition era.

The country must think critically on how prohibiting substances does not effectively curb their use, and it should consider the violence associated with the black market.

The United States has partially eased its strain on marijuana with the implementation of medical marijuana dispensaries in various states, however that is not a viable solution for every illegal drug.

Until a reasonable solution is found, drug use will remain unchanged and more lives will be lost by the violence created by the war on drugs.

THE DAILY TITAN

Boom Boom Boom to ‘shake’ it The band’s unique mix of blues and alternative rock will visit the Becker stage JOSHUA CHOE For the Daily Titan

Hailing from Los Angeles, Boom Boom Boom is set to perform at the Becker Amphitheater Wednesday at noon.

The five-piece group fuses blues, alternative rock and other genres. Its members are Joe Greene (vocals and guitar), Marlon Grace (percussion), Dylan Cooper (bass), Tamir Barzilay (percussion) and Trevor Menear (guitar).

After random run-ins with each other at Hollywood gigs and through musical acquaintances, it was only a matter of time until the members eventually came together and formed a band. “(Joe and Marlon) decided to put a show together playing Joe’s original tunes,” Cooper said. “But they wanted a bass player. Marlon knew me from another project, so he asked if I’d like to do some rehearsals for a gig at the Viper Room.

It felt so good, so we just kept playing.”

After adding Barzilay and Menear, the group became a “big knucklehead family,” Cooper said.

The band prides themselves on their musical technicalities as well as their raw stage presence.

“It’s always a challenge to capture a vibe in the studio (because) we are a live band, and we feed off the energy of the crowd,” Cooper said. “We stomp and clap and shout and sing.”

Through several studio and casual jam sessions, the members of Boom Boom Boom have added their unique musical styles which has developed into a well-versed, distinctive sound.

Their musical influences include an array of jazz, blues and hip-hop artists such as John

Lee Hooker, The Pharcyde and Miles Davis.

These influences play in part to their eclectic sound, which is a testament to the interpretation of jazz and raw lyricism of the blues.

The band carries the dynamism of Cachao Lopez, who helped popularize mambo; the upbeat stage presence of hip-hop duo Outkast, who possess an eclectic musical palette; and the authenticity of Gary Clark Jr., famous for mixing blues with rock ‘n’ roll.

Boom Boom Boom’s diverse lifestyles are openly heard in their spirited tunes.

In self-produced albums such as Of Bricks and Wood (2011) and Elevator Music (2010), their sound has evolved into a hybrid of the expressive blues improvisation with the animated liveliness of hip-hop grooves.

“Joe gets some words together and we start to beat it out until it feels good. We improvise a lot, but we always make

sure to get down,” Cooper said.

Both “Detonate” and “Shake” from their first album, Elevator Music, showcases Boom Boom Boom’s laid-back yet gritty sound.

The song focuses in on the aggressive urban nature of Los Angeles, but still has the soothing eccentricity of Southern California.

Without the pressures to adhere to a contract with a major record label, the band blooms with originality.

Of Bricks and Wood delves into soulful roots, and engages the genuine melancholic grooves.

Tunes like “Bumble Bee” leave a stinging desire for more bluesy harmonica.

The group will release a new record.

“Out Loud,” the album’s first single, is available for free download on online music store Bandcamp.

“It is definitely our best to date,” Cooper said.

When Boom Boom Boom isn’t regularly performing at the Piano Bar in Hollywood or at The Escondite in downtown Los Angeles, they are on tour.

In the past, they have been to San Francisco, Colorado Springs, New York, Baltimore and Miami.

Loving much about artistic take on ‘nothing’ Director brings ‘90s style to Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy PATTON TRAN Daily Titan

William Shakespeare’s romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing was performed with a ‘90s twist by Cal State Fullerton’s Theatre Department.

Director Travis Donnelly’s adaptation was reminiscent of a fun, smart teen movie filled with singing and dancing.

The story is centered around two couples, Beatrice and Benedick, played by Mallory Staley, 23, Bachelor’s of Fine Arts and Benji Coelho, 26, Master’s of Fine Arts, respectively.

The two are locked in a battle of wits as they strike each other with blows of words with speed and accuracy. Unlike Romeo and Juliet, the two star-crossed lovers are not separated by feuding families, but by their own distaste for marriage.

Although Beatrice and Benedick are the main characters, the story is driven by the actions of Hero, played by Emily James, and Claudio, played

by Collian Andrews. Claudio falls in love with Hero.

The play is a tale of lies, mistaken identities and love.

Most of Shakespeare’s plays are hard to understand, especially for those who aren’t familiar with his works.

However, once the play began Much Ado About Nothing became more understandable.

Donnelly’s contemporary setting also helped the mind cope with Shakespeare’s language.

The original play takes place in Messina, Italy. However, in Donnelly’s version the estate is replaced with a mall—a common place for people to meet in the ‘90s.

The setting is where the director takes the most artistic liberty of the play.

The set was made to look like marble. The mall was two stories tall which gave the actors more space.

The play opened with everyone in ‘90s getups.

After the introduction of all the characters, the play throws a curveball.

“Donnelly’s contemporary setting also helped the mind cope with Shakespeare’s language. ” The cast heads to a Renaissance party in the next scene, playing homage to the source material; a clever switch that excited the crowd.

During the scene Don Jon, played by Vahan Oknayan, a fine arts major, showed his villainy by whispering tales of deceit into Claudio’s ear.

Don Jon was dressed like a punk rocker with a drug ad-

Courtesy of the Theatre Department CSUF’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s 16th century play, Much Ado About Nothing, focuses on two couples who have an aversion to marriage.

diction. Oknayan brought to life the anti-social outcast who brings conflict to the other characters.

Don Pedro, performed by Ethan Corbett, 21, acts as Cupid, matchmaking both couples. Corbett brings a stern but playful attitude to the flat character. Don Pedro brought his character to life by slowly humanizing his militant exterior.

Benedick expertly used the stage’s space in the scene when he overhears his comrades spin tales of Beatrice’s love for him.

He ducks and weaves around the pillars and stairs to get closer to the conversation. This was one of the most humorous scenes of the play and was done well with the acrobatic skills of the actor.

Beatrice was used in a similar scene where she darts around the fountain to avoid being caught, which is funny in its own way.

The highlight of Staley’s performance is the sass in the delivery of her lines.

The skill and speed of the lines add to the imagination

of Beatrice as the maiden of wit that no suitor can match, except perhaps Benji who also delivered as Benedick.

The first half ended with the villains setting in motion their plot to break up the couple Hero and Claudio.

As the lights turned on during intermission “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson played. It was a fitting end to the first half.

Everything was unraveled during the second half of the play. The actors recited long lines and verses and costume

changes became prevalent.

Loose angular clothes were worn by the actors and actresses. Jean jackets and corduroy made their return.

At this point, the play hit its stride.

The audience was transported into a ‘90s teen drama. This carried on until the end of the play—when love finally conquered all.

Much Ado About Nothing runs until Nov. 3 at the Young Theatre. Tickets are $11 at the door and $10 with an advance Titan discount.

Titans falter late in loss to 49ers CSUF volleyball has not won at Walter Pyramid since the 1993 season IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team traveled to Walter Pyramid on Friday night to face Long Beach State in a Big West rivalry match, but ultimately fell in five sets.

The match truly was a rivalry game as it went to a decisive fifth set. The Titans started out hot, winning 25-21 and 2520 before they blew a 2-0 lead to the 49ers, losing 15-13 in the fifth set.

This extends the Titans’ winless drought at Walter Pyramid, who haven’t won there since 1994.

CSUF’s record sits at 9-8 overall, and their conference record drops to 2-3. Meanwhile, Long Beach’s victory gives them a 10-9 record with a 3-3 conference record.

The Titans held a .216 hitting percentage while the 49ers’ was .287. CSUF’s hitting percentage started out over .300, but it was weighed down by their third and fourth sets.

Most of the first set went down to the wire. The Titans closely controlled the whole set after a 6-6 tie and pulled away from a 17-16 lead.

After that, they never looked back, thanks to a kill by senior outside hitter Bre Moreland and two consecutive kills by senior right-side hitter Alyse Hensley.

Two consecutive errors by the 49ers made it a 24-19 lead for the Titans, squandering their hopes for a comeback in the first set. Hensley delivered the final kill of the first set.

The Titans were off to a fast start in the second set with a 7-1 lead. CSUF held their sizeable lead in the set, but the 49ers made it interesting after being down 24-17. Junior middle blocker Chisom Okpala got the ball rolling for the 49ers with a kill before Moreland and Hensley each committed errors.

Junior libero Chelsea Cabrajac delivered a service ace for the 49ers to make it 24-21. The Titans called a timeout after the 49ers’ rally. The timeout paid off as Cabrajac committed a costly service error and handed CSUF the set.

Winning the first two sets gave the Titans no reason to celebrate, though. The third set was a blowout, as CSUF lost it 25-13.

Long Beach started out with a 7-0 lead and never looked back.

The narrowest lead the 49ers held during the set was 10-5.

Okpala delivered the final kill for the 49ers, who registered a whopping .452 hitting percentage while the Titans were held to .121.

The fourth set was more suspenseful. The match went back and forth until Long Beach went on a 5-0 run to extend their lead to 18-11. The 49ers’ lead was cut to 22-19 later on. A service error by sophomore setter Erin Juley and a kill by Moreland gave the Titans hope of coming back.

However, these hopes were cut short. Sophomore outside hitter Alex Reid, senior outside hitter Delainey Aigner-Swesey and junior outside hitter Bre Mackie registered consecutive kills respectively, giving the 49ers a 25-19 win.

The fifth set went right down to the wire as the Titans attempted to come out on top after the 49ers tied the match.

The Titans started with a 2-0 lead, but Long Beach turned it around to take an 8-5 lead. The match then became tied at 12.

Mackie registered a kill for the 49ers to give them a 13-12 lead, but Moreland responded with a kill of her own, tying the match at 13.

Long Beach took a timeout after this. Freshman libero McKenna Painton committed a service error before Hensley’s attack error cost the Titans the game.

Moreland starred for the Titans with 18 kills, 25 digs and two service aces. Painton added 22 digs of her own. Hensley added 15 kills and 20 digs. Junior setter Julie Consani recorded 56 assists.

The Titans will look to recover from this heartbreaking loss as they return home next week.

CSUF will face Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Friday at 7 p.m.

Faculty Night will be held that night, where faculty and staff members can receive two free tickets to the match.

The following night, the Titans will play UC Santa Barbara at 6 p.m. Students who attend will receive T-shirts. A movie night will be held as well.

MEN’S SOCCER

Continued from PAGE 1

Five minutes after that missed goal for the Titans is when the emotional change of events occurred between the county rivals.

In the 84th minute, Cardenas created confusion in the Titan defense and scored for the Anteaters. It seemed as the Titans would have to ramp up for the overtime with five minutes left in the game.

That was when Fenelus, brimming with energy from the kick off, fooled the Anteaters’ defenders and scored seconds later.

“I had confidence, I was like, ‘guys, let’s go. let’s do it,’ and as soon as we kicked off the ball, my player was still in the middle and I was in the right position and I got it and finished it,” said Fenelus, who scored his second goal of the year.

With five minutes left to play, the excited home crowd cheered and banged their thunder sticks together, as the Titans appeared on the verge of victory.

That was until Martinez tied the game again less than minute later.

In the overtime periods, both teams pressured each other, but neither could jump on the scoring momentum of the second half as the game ended in a draw.

Both teams played fairly equal in the statistical categories. The Anteaters shot two more shots, 24-22, committed one more foul, 14-13, and tied the Titans in corner kicks with six each.

Next for the Titans is a first place showdown on Wednesday at No. 14 Cal State Northridge, where both team are tied with 10 points.

Senior Nikki McCants wins a ball with a defender draped on her back. McCants scored the game winning goal.

Controlling the ball effectively to start the match, the Titans did well early to spread out the Gaucho defense by changing the point of attack to either flank as often as possible. Taking advantage of this space on outside, freshman forward Ivy Diego won a Titan corner kick just nine minutes in, resulting in the Titans’ best opportunity of the half.

From the corner, a brief interchange of play between midfielders Morgan Batcheller and Lauren Stupin led to a shot by Stupin from the right side of the Gaucho 18-yard box. Cutting the ball back to her left foot, Stupin curled a ball onto the UCSB crossbar and out of play.

The near miss in the first half was all too familiar for the Titans, since they have failed to score in five matches in 2013. But seemingly unfazed, CSUF came out in the second half with the same fire they exhibited to start the match and in the end, the Titan seniors managed to push the team over the hump.

“I was incredibly impressed with the first half,” Titan Head Coach Demian Brown said. “Obviously to go 0-0 we felt like we could have done more, we tweaked around a couple of different things just to be more aggressive in the beginning of second half and then made a change to bring Nikki back on and obviously she hasn’t been in the best form, but as seniors most often do, they find a way to make sure that their senior year is what they want it to be.”

Repaying her coach’s faith in her, McCants could have easily ended the match with her first and second goals of the season had it not been for the great reflexes of Gaucho sophomore goalkeeper Beth Ritter, who finished the match with 10 saves.

With chances coming fast and furious from both sides near the end of the second half, McCants had the best opportunity for either side to open the scoring in the 80th minute.

Racing on to a ball over the top from Titan midfielder Chelsey Patterson, McCants fended off a Gaucho defender and got off a slightly offbalance shot that Ritter just managed to get down to block but only as far as onrushing Titan midfielder Janali West.

Unfortunately for the Titans, while West was able to sidestep the Gaucho goalkeeper just inside the penalty area, a defender had recovered in time to turn away West’s shot near the UCSB goal line.

“I was just thinking the goalie’s out, this is our chance, so I cut it past (the goalkeeper) and took a shot at the goal. I slipped a little and there was a defender in the goal and she kicked it out unfortunately but I knew a goal was coming,” said West of her near goal.

Luckily for CSUF, West was correct in thinking it was only a matter of time before the Titans score, as less than eight minutes later a CSUF corner taken from the left side by senior midfielder Erica Mazeau handcuffed Ritter, forcing her to attempt a feeble punch to clear. The Gaucho goalkeeper’s weak clearance looped straight in the air, allowing McCants the opportunity to spin and volley the ball home from close range.

“It’s a great relief to finally get a goal because that’s my first goal and to bring a win for my team,” said McCants of her game-winning goal.

“Just the effort of everybody was great and just the vibe was good, we knew that we were going to score a goal eventually. It was just a great feeling.”

With the win, CSUF improves to 2-2-1 in Big West play and pulls closer to the final Big West tournament spot with just three conference matches remaining.

The Titans will be back in action in a week with the opportunity to move even closer to the coveted fourth spot when they take on second-tolast UC Davis at home on Oct. 27.

Mustangs’ second half penalty kick downs CSUF Titans scoreless streak reaches 208 minutes after another shutout by SLO VINCENT LA ROSA Daily Titan

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo sophomore forward Elise Krieghoff converted a penalty in the 52nd minute to defeat the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team on Friday.

With the loss, the Titans are now winless in their last three matches.

Having not dropped back-toback matches all season, the Titans travelled to San Luis Obispo after being defeated 1-0 in their previous match at UC Riverside.

And despite thoroughly dominating a scoreless first half and outshooting the Mustangs 9-1, the women of CSUF dug themselves another hole by conceding a penalty just five minutes after the second half started.

After putting Cal Poly SLO under sustained pressure to start the half, the Titans were caught pressing too high when the Mustangs launched a lightning fast counter following a Titan foul in the Cal Poly SLO penalty area.

With a Mustang attacker breaking free from the right side of the CSUF defense, Titan senior goalkeeper Lindsey Maricic had to be quick off her goal line to make a sliding block just outside her penalty area.

Unfortunately, as Maricic was 20 yards from her goal, the ball squirted to Cal Poly SLO freshman forward Megan Abutin at the other end of the CSUF box.

Although it initially appeared that CSUF defenders Jazzmin Mancilla and Kellie Bohner had recovered in time to snuff out the danger, Bohner, sliding to challenge the Mustang forward, was adjudged to have knocked down Abutin’s centering ball with her raised right hand.

The referee made no hesitation in signalling a penalty for the Mustangs in the match’s 52nd minute, which Krieghoff stepped up to finish in the lower left corner of Maricic’s net.

Despite the Titans holding Krieghoff, the Big West’s leading scorer, to just one shot all match, the forward only needed that single shot to convert her 17th goal of the season and give the Mustangs the victory despite being outshot 11-6 in the match.

The Mustangs have won three straight games and now sit alone atop the Big West standings with 12 points from five matches.

For CSUF, it was the fifth time the Titans have failed to score in a match this season.

Having been shut out by UCR in their previous match, the Titans have not scored in the last 208 minutes of play, spanning three matches.

The last Titan goal came in the 71st minute of a 1-1 double-over-

time draw with Cal State Northridge on Oct. 6.

Titan sophomore defender Morgan Batcheller led the Titans on Friday with three shots, although none of the shots were on goal.

Senior forward Erica Mazeau, the liveliest of the Titan attackers on the night, had two shots on target but both were turned away by Mustang sophomore goal keeper Alyssa Giannetti.

Giannetti and Maricic each stopped two shots on the night.

The Titans, the reigning regular season Big West titleholders, now find themselves towards the bottom of the Big West pack with just four points from four matches in conference play.

Only UC Davis and CSUN have less points than the Titans; they hold one apiece at the bottom of the Big West standings.

The Titans will play their final home game of the season on Sunday at Titan Stadium when they face the UC Davis Aggies.

Volleyball suffers road sweep to Irvine Anteaters Consani’s 26 assists bring her closer to sixth all-time in the CSUF record book JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team was dispatched by UC Irvine in straight sets on Saturday night at the Bren Events Center.

While the Titans remained close in all three sets, they weren’t able to overcome the Anteaters’ tough defensive play throughout.

The loss ended CSUF’s sixmatch winning streak over their Big West Conference foe, which dated back to 2009.

UCI’s sweep also marked the second time this season that the Titans have dropped six sets in a row, after losing the final three sets in their previous matchup to Long Beach State en route to a 3-2 loss.

The Anteaters dominated the match offensively, out-hitting Fullerton .233 to .098.

While Fullerton posted a .237 hitting percentage in the first set, the last two sets yielded just a .024 and .045 mark for the visiting Titans.

UCI, on the other hand, hit at an impressive .310 clip in the first set, then hit .235 and .159 in the final two.

Leading the way for the Anteaters’ offense was sophomore

outside hitter Marisa Bubica, who had a team and game high 15 kills.

CSUF’s offense received support from senior middle blocker Leah Best and senior outside hitter Bre Moreland, who had eight kills apiece.

Junior setter Julie Consani kept the offense together with 26 assists in the match to go with 10 digs on defense, marking her seventh double-double of the season, and second in a row.

With her performance, Consani is now just 120 assists shy of sixth place all-time in the Fullerton record book.

Her 1,652 career assists trail former Titan Jenna Carney, who played from 2003 to 2006.

On defense, four Titans recorded double-digit digs in the match including senior right-side hitter Alyse Hensley who led the way with 14.

The game high in digs belonged to UCI freshman setter Shelly Anderson, who recorded 15 on the night.

At the net, UCI senior middle blocker Shannon Fleming led both teams with six blocks, while Holland Crenshaw and Hensley each had four for the Titans.

In the first set, CSUF was tied with Irvine 11-11 before the Anteaters went on a 4-0 run and never looked back, winning comfortably 25-18.

The Anteaters got off to a quick start in the second set as well,

rolling to a 25-17 set win and a 2-0 overall advantage against the Titans.

Fullerton was not able to pull within four points of Irvine for a majority of the third set, eventually falling 25-20.

The loss dropped CSUF to 9-9 overall this season and 2-4 in Big West play, keeping them in a sixth place tie with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

UCI improved to 2-5 in conference play, just half a game behind CSUF. The Titans will have an opportunity to improve their standing in the Big West Conference when the Cal Poly SLO Mustangs travel to Titan Gym on Friday.

CSUF will take on UC Santa

Barbara the following night at Titan Gym. The Gauchos have an impressive 5-1 Big West record that includes a road upset of then fifthranked Hawaii, along with a victory over first-place Cal State Northridge.

The Gauchos present a difficult matchup for the Titans, but Fullerton has played better at home, going 5-2 so far this season at Titan Gym. CSUF has 10 games left in the season to march for a bid into the 64-team NCAA tournament beginning in November.

One area they will have to improve is on the road, where they have a disappointing 2-5 record so far this season.
