Turning attention to current pollution Lecture by 5 Gyres Institute founder to tackle issue of plastic pollution in oceans
RACHAEL GARCIA Daily Titan Plastic bags from the grocery store. Plastic Starbucks cups. Plastic wrap around new iPhone boxes. Products are either packaged in plastic or made of it. It’s used and then unceremoniously thrown in the trash and pushed out to sea. In an effort to change the
way people think about plastic pollution, the 5 Gyres organization is conducting research and raising awareness about the long-term repercussions of adopting a throw-away mentality and its impact on the world’s oceans. Marcus Eriksen, Ph.D., co-founder of the 5 Gyres organization, will describe some of the organization’s research and explain possible solutions to the issue during a lecture Tuesday at
1 p.m. in the Titan Student Union, Pavilion A. “A lot of people don’t know about these types of things and (5 Gyres) is taking the opportunity to educate people on a one-toone basis so they can then tell others,” said Exhibitions Coordinator Kimberly McKinnis. Americans generate about 31 million pounds of plastic waste every year, and just 8.2 percent of that is recycled. The rest either goes to
the landfill or is unaccounted for––millions of tons of this unaccounted-for waste ends up in the ocean, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Plastic is designed to last forever and, when it ends up in the ocean, it eventually finds its way to one of five large ocean gyres. These gyres are large systems of winds and rotating ocean currents. SEE OCEANS

AICA honors the cultures of CSUF
Multicultural Food Festival will offer foreign dishes plus a concert from Joseph Vincent
DEANNA GOMEZ Daily Titan Foodies rejoice. This week the Association of InterCultural Awareness (AICA) of Cal State Fullerton is hosting an event that will make mouths water. On Wednesday, AICA will be holding a multicultural food festival from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Becker Amphitheater. The event is a combination of AICA’s annual Multicultural Taste Festival and its International Festival. Attendees will not only get to sample foods from different cultures around
the world, but they will also get to learn the significance behind the food they are trying. “We seek to educate ourselves and others to see the importance of not only tasting, but engaging in activities and the significance of cultural food,” said AICA’s Public Relations Coordinator Magdalena Tan. In total, there will be 21 CSUF cultural organizations taking part in the event. Attendees will be able to participate in different activities provided by the organizations. The point of these activities will be to teach attendees more about the different cultures on campus. “We hope to enrich the
CSUF community with our cultural knowledge ... (AICA) exists to enhance the university experience of CSUF students by raising the awareness of and celebrating the multicultural student population of Cal State Fullerton,” Tan said. Attendees will be able to try a variety of dishes such as sticky rice with mango from the Cambodian Student Association, Vietnamese spring rolls from the Vietnamese Student Association and arroz con leche from Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán. Some of the cultural organizations involved with the event will be providing entertainment for attendees. SEE CULTURE

Rebecca Wilson had all three Titan goals over the weekend, and it was enough to propel the team to a solid start in Big West Conference play. The three goals gave Wilson a total of seven for the season. She is the only Titan with multiple goals this
season, and she ranks second in the conference in that category. The Titans kicked off the weekend in Hawaii against the Rainbow Wahine at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium. Hawaii entered play with a 5-5 record and was coming off a two-game winning streak after beating Eastern Washington and Montana of the Big Sky Conference. The Rainbow Wahine found themselves on the scoreboard first as they have
done in the majority of their matches this season. In the 13th minute, senior midfielder Krystal Pascua poked the ball into the middle of the box and her younger sister Kama beat the Titan defense and launched a shot in the top left corner past goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart. The goal was Pascua’s third in her last four games. It was the 10th time in the 2014 season that the Titans surrendered the first goal of the game.
CSUF evened the score in the 31st minute when Wilson used a header to get the ball past Hawaii goalkeeper Erica Young, courtesy of a corner kick from Colleen Ortega. The assist was the first of the season for the senior defender. Two Rainbow Wahine shots found the crossbar in the opening 13 minutes of the second half, but both came up empty. SEE W SOCCER
