In an emergency, a few min-utes can mean life or death. How quickly police arrive on the scene after a call comes in is determined by a list of vari-ables — including what type of crime it is and where offi-cers are at any given time.

Like a doctor must triage patients, treating those with greater injuries first, police de-partments almost universally use a priority system to decide which emergencies require at-tention first.

University Police

Cal State Fullerton Univer-sity Police prioritizes crimes and incidents on a scale of 1-3 based on their level of severity. Priority one calls require the most expediency and will of-ten be accompanied by lights and sirens while priority three calls are standard operations calls and require the lowest amount of expediency, a Uni-versity Police official said.

Campus dispatch receives the majority of calls through 911 dialing, elevator calling systems and campus emergen-cy blue poles.

Last year, 95 percent of calls from campus blue poles and elevator calling systems were non-emergencies, Universi-ty Police Capt. John Brockie said.

Using more than 200 active cameras located throughout campus and six stationed on blue poles, Uni-versity Police keep track of and determine whether an incident is a non-emergency, Brockie said.

Four family-owned busi-nesses were voted in Thurs-day as the inaugural mem-bers of the Center for Family Business Hall of Fame.

The center is part of the Cal State Fullerton Mihay-lo College of Business and Economics, and aids fami-ly businesses in identifying and addressing issues in or-der to grow and develop.

Anil Puri, Ph.D., dean of Mihaylo College of Busi-ness and Economics said the majority of current

members have commit-ted to the program since its founding in 1995 and he has seen it grow throughout his 16 years of supporting it.

Seventeen family-owned businesses were nominated, a number that was whittled down to the four voted in as honorees.

States Logistics Ser-vices, a supply chain logis-tics management company, received the Excellence in Community Award. Em-ployees organized services to house the homeless and completed over 2400 hours of volunteer work in 2014.

Cascade Pump Company, a custom pumping equip-ment manufacturer, has been operating for over 50 years and has been a part of the Center for Family Busi-ness since its inception. The business won the Strength

in Succession Award for its efforts to grow and ensure successful business transi-tions for each generation.

Hydraflow, a compa-ny that manufactures flu-id transfer components and fuel lines for the aerospace industry, was awarded the Commitment to Education Award.

Hydraflow not only ed-ucates its clients on the most effective ways to im-plement their products, but the company also provides job-related education and 100 percent tuition reim-bursement for job-relat-ed education to full-time employees.

The final award was the Founder’s Vision Award, given to Hill Brothers Chemical Company.

Four businesses are first Hall of Fame honorees

The Cal State Fullerton Ti-tans extended their winning streak against the alumni to six straight with their 10-0 victory at Goodwin Field Saturday.

Throughout the warm-ups, players from both sides of the field were full of smiles with the stands divided between current students and alum-ni. Friendly heckling ensued throughout the game, both on and off the field. Alum-nus Eddie Delzer (83-84) went into his bag of tricks to start the bottom half of the first when he launched t h r e e balls at t h e

same time to freeze junior Dustin Vaught with a smile on his face.

“It was definitely different, it was weird to suit up against guys that you played with pre-viously and them be in the Ti-tan uniform and you just kind of be one of the old alumni,” said alumnus Matt Chapman. “They looked good, they played good defense and they pitched well; so as long as they score some runs then they’re going to be OK.”

Using more than 200 ac-tive cameras located through-out campus and six stationed on blue poles, University Po-lice keep track of and deter-mine whether an incident is a non-emergency, Brockie said.

“We have cameras where we can see multiple poles,” Brockie said. He added that if there’s an instance when a call comes in from an area that is not visible by a camera, Uni-versity Police will then re-spond to investigate the situ-ation. After police assess the situation, they can assign it one of the three priority levels according to the severity of the incident.

While University Police, which has a one-mile radi-us patrol area around cam-pus, does not keep average re-sponse times for each level of its priority scale, it does keep averages for its responses to certain kinds of incidents, ac-cording to University Police administration.

University Police officials

logged an average response time of 1 minute 5 seconds for traffic accidents with un-known injuries, a number that rose to 1 minute 32 seconds for traffic accidents with inju-ries and jumped to 3 minutes 53 seconds for traffic accidents without injuries.

For its 569 burglary calls in nearly 12 months, the depart-ment had an average response time of 4 minutes 1 second and an average response of 1 minute 16 seconds for its four reports of drunken driving.

The department could not provide average response times for lower-level incidents such as instances of vandal-ism, petty theft, larger thefts and drug-related crimes.

Neighboring Police Departments

While Fullerton, Placentia and Brea police departments also use a number priority scale, the departments log average response times based on priority of the incident, rather than by each specific incident.

Fullerton Police Depart-ment uses a priority scale of 1-5. The average for priority one–the department’s catego-ry for emergency calls–was 6 minutes 36 seconds for its 23 mile radius. Priority one incidents include burglaries in progress, grand theft and assault.

Placentia Police Depart-ment uses a priority scale of 0-5. Placentia Police Services Supervisor Juanita Martinez said the department’s priority zero calls are emergency calls, including burglaries, robber-ies and carjackings. The de-partment had an average re-sponse time for priority zero incidents of 3 minutes 42 sec-onds in its 7.5 mile radius.

Brea Police Department uses a priority scale of 1-3, with separate categories for emergency calls and routine calls. Its average response times for emergency calls in its 12-square-mile patrol area was 3 minutes 34 seconds.

Each department allocates its resources in different ways to keep response times as low as possible.

Fullerton Police Depart-ment keeps its response to physical altercations low by concentrating resourc-es in downtown Fullerton on

Thursdays, Fridays and Satur-days, Sgt. Dan Castillo said.

He said altercations be-tween barhoppers in the downtown area are a fre-quent call to the depart-ment. In anticipation of that need, officers are commit-ted to the area to quickly break up fights.

“We do have a dedicated unit for the downtown area and the cars are mobile, so

they’re already downtown, so it doesn’t take very long for them to get from one bar to one bar,” Castillo said, adding that it might take less than a minute for offi-cers to get to a fight.

Placentia Police Depart-ment and Brea Police De-partment both kept their patrol areas divided into sections.

Dispatcher Melina Fabian

said resources from Placen-tia Police Department try to get to incidents as soon as possible, but there are circumstances where a re-sponse might take longer than normal.

“It all depends on what police officer is going, what part of the city they’re at and what part of the city they’re going to be respond-ing to,” she said.

Police: Tracking methods vary

Orange County Transpor-tation Authority has canceled a pilot BikeShare program in Fullerton due to low usage and minimal revenue. Despite what was supposed to be a two-year pilot program, rid-er access to the bikes ended Jan. 15 and—per an OCTA Transit Committee recom-mendation—the BikeShare Pilot Project agreement was allowed to expire Jan. 21.

For ten months, OCTA op-erated the program in Fuller-ton to test the possibility of a countywide system. Since Nov. 2014, however, the 69 bikes in the system have been checked out an average of 1.2 times per month, a number below the originally projected average of two to three check-outs per month, according to a report from the OCTA Transit Committee.

Those numbers follow a trend that includes usage fees and annual memberships that fail to cover monthly operat-ing costs. Those costs were over $11,000, but since oper-ations for the program began in Jan. 2014, OCTA received only $5,370 from usage fees and annual memberships.

“To date, the Pilot Project has failed to meet desired ob-jectives, and with low usage and only minimal advertis-ing revenue and/or sponsor-ships, the long-term viability of operating a self-sustain-ing bike-sharing system is in question,” Darrell Johnson,

chief executive officer of OCTA, said in a report to the agency’s transit committee.

The report included infor-mation that, since the launch of the program, there were persistent operational issues such as water leaks due to de-fective gaskets and problems with docks releasing bikes.

OCTA did make efforts to promote the program, of-fering discounts on annual memberships and a 20 per-cent discount for students at the beginning of the school year.

OCTA failed to market the program and reach out to college students said Derek Fretheim, Bike Nation chief operating officer. Officials with OCTA could have used a dedicated website or social media network, but chose not to, he said.

In their October meet-ing, when the staff

recommendation was to dis-continue the program, OCTA and the Transit Committee re-jected his alternatives to in-crease usage through market-ing strategies.

Fretheim said he came to OCTA with ideas such as hir-ing CSUF marketing students to intern as program ambas-sadors with the hope that it would allow students to cre-ate marketing campaigns while also gaining work experience.

“It wasn’t a question of whether the system was op-erating. To me it just seemed like it was a question of peo-ple not knowing how to use the program or that it was available,” Fretheim said.

Users heard of OCTA BikeShare by seeing stations on CSUF campus and at the Fullerton Transit Center, ac-cording to a survey conducted by OCTA.

OCTA is now taking a step back from the failed initiative while Bike Nation is prepar-ing to launch a similar pro-gram in Long Beach.

“There was no money pro-vided by the city of Fuller-ton to develop the program; in fact they weren’t involved with any of our meetings un-til October,” Fretheim said. “That shows you the differ-ence between a city that wants a BikeShare program and one that is in essence gifted.”

Long Beach city offi-cials have been highly in-volved with the planning of the BikeShare program and have agreed with strategies presented to them, Fretheim added.

“It’s disappointing that there wasn’t enough faith and belief to say let’s look at this a different way, let’s reevaluate this program. It was set up for failure,” he said.

Program ends after disappointing usage and lack of revenue

Operations began Jan. 2014 for the pilot BikeShare program, which was meant to act as a test for a countywide system. Lack of revenue and poor participation lead to the program’s cancellation.

Brea Dam to become winter wonderland

The business, which pro-vides industrial and con-struction chemicals, was awarded for managing to both grow as a business and maintain the same values it was founded with.

Jeanie Buss, president of the Los Angeles Lakers, shared her family business experience with the more than 200 guests as a guest speaker for the event.

“I thought I was alone and here, tonight, I see so much of my family in so many of you and it really made me feel not so alone,” Buss said.

Buss has been the pres-ident of the Los Angeles Lakers for two seasons, and was previously the team’s executive president of busi-ness operations for 15 years.

Buss discussed the strong connections her father had with players like Mag-ic Johnson, and the tre-mendous amount of sup-port the team has from the community.

“I don’t have all the an-swers and I have shared some things with people here tonight and I got great feedback,” Buss said. “That is why the center is so won-derful, because it is really a support for something that’s always in transition and al-ways a process.”

During the event, Senior Vice President of City Na-tional Bank Joe Hernandez shared how his four years of being a member of the center has helped him gain knowledge that bolstered his career.

“The biggest focus of the center is to assess the mem-bers in keeping harmony among the family while be-coming stronger business entities at the same time,” Hernandez said.

Inductees will be perma-nently listed on a wall at the center and director of the center, Ed Hart, is planning next year’s banquet for ear-ly 2016.

Votes and open nomi-nations will take place late 2015, but this year’s honorees cannot be inducted again.

Fernandez, events supervi-sor for the city of Fuller-ton. The event, she said, is an opportunity for families to take part in winter ac-tivities without leaving the city.

“It’s a great family-ori-ented event, and we’ll have tons of snow there for peo-ple who don’t travel or go up to the snow,” Fernandez said.

It’s not just for Fullerton

residents, though, said Rosemary Hernandez, a staff member with the city.

“We’ve had people from outside of the country or out of state that come vis-it,” Hernandez said.

Cal State Fullerton host-ed the opening of the new art exhibit Whirligigs: The Art of Peter Gelker on Jan. 24 in the Begovich Gallery.

Whirligigs, a toy-like object that spins or whirls in the wind, are used to show the direction of the wind and to keep birds out of gardens.

All lined up meticulous-ly against the plain white wall, the whirligigs stand out with their bright vi-brant colors and peculiar characters that adorn the tops.

Created out of wood, metal and paint, the

whirligigs propellers direct the characters to act out dreams, nightmares and myths once they are set in motion.

Peter Gelker, the San-ta Ana based artist and practicing psychiatrist, de-scribes his inspiration be-hind the whirligig exhibi-tion as a folklore art form combined with different levels of psychological themes that people would be able to interpret for themselves.

“It’s also about chasing illusions, … conflict, peo-ple at war with themselves … and some of them are about neurological things,” Gelker said. “At the same time, they’re fun and color-ful and not heavy psycho-babble kind of things.”

Along with the colors and psychological meaning be-hind each whirligig, there is a playful aspect to the toys Gelker has created.

Lynn Gamwell, guest cu-rator for the exhibition, ad-mires the mechanics and the work behind Gelker’s whirligigs as well as the kind of movement the ob-jects create.

“To make something like that move isn’t simple,” Gamwell said.

An explanatory film on the movement of these whirligigs is shown re-peatedly in the back of the gallery to give more depth to the movement of these objects.

The propellers on the whirligig, when influenced by human touch or wind, create movement for the characters to act out their scene.

Some scenes show a man chasing his dream of be-coming wealthy; Others are characters trying to avoid their biggest fears of being swallowed by the ocean or of spiders.

Other whirligigs have psychiatric and neurologi-cal themes behind them.

One of these pieces ex-presses two people trying to communicate with each other and make a connec-tion as the propellers turn to make the figures move.

“It’s a kind of clunky, folkarty interpretation of two people relating,” Gelk-er said.

Gelker’s exhibit gives each visitor the chance to analyse each piece and figure out its specific meaning.

Gelker believes that art is a surface form and that one viewer may see or feel things that can be com-pletely different from an-other viewer.

CSUF’s Begovich Gal-lery will be hosting the exhibit Monday through Thursday from 12-4 p.m. and Saturday from 12-2 p.m. until Feb. 26.

Sci-fi thriller in theaters Friday

The winter blockbust-ers begin to wrap up at the movies this Friday with the release of the sci-fi thriller movie Project Almanac.

The film follows a group of five teenagers who dis-cover secret plans for a time machine and use the plans to construct their own. Ini-tially, they use the device for their own personal gains and pleasures until their travels get out of hand and the consequences become drastic. They then must use the machine to fix their mis-take and restore order to their timeline.

Jonny Weston plays Da-vid Raskin, the ensemble’s principle character. Weston feels that through his char-acter, Project Almanac ex-plores themes of addiction as the characters begin us-ing the time machine more frequently and taking big-ger risks.

In a recent conference call, the cast spoke about what it was like to work with their producer, Mi-chael Bay.

“When you know that someone like that is (al-ways) watching over, and watching every single cut after the day it’s been filmed … you’re just com-forted that you know this film isn’t going to turn out crappy,” Weston said. “You know that he’s going to let you know what’s going right and what’s wrong in or-der to make it an amazing film. So we all kind of rest and do our job without hav-ing to worry about the end product.”

Other cast members felt this same kind of comfort knowing the film was in Bay’s hands.

“We all knew that it was going to be a really special movie because he was in-volved,” said Virginia Gard-ner who plays Christina.

The movie is shot in found-footage style, much like the popular horror fran-chises V/H/S and Paranor-mal Activity.

The actors enjoyed mak-ing a movie of this style be-cause it gave them a chance

to break the fourth wall and speak directly to the camera.

Many of the actors in-volved in the movie have previous experience in tele-vision. Each have their pros and cons about working in film rather than television.

“We have more freedom with the dialogue (in film) because in television, by the time the script comes to you it’s been through the network, the studio and the writer’s room, so you can’t really change it too much,” said Sofia Black D’Elia who plays Jessie, David’s love interest. “But when you work with people as love-ly as Andrew Deutschman and Jason Pagan, our writ-ers, they’re really comfort-able with you, taking it out for a spin, rehearsing it with your screen partner, putting your own twist on things and making it as real as possible.”

Project Almanac was originally supposed to be released last summer but was postponed to build up a larger audience. The cast feels the film has become even better than they intend-ed and it is something that they’re really proud of.

Volunteers of Osher Lifelong Learning Insti-tute hosted “Lessons from the Oldest Old: The 90+ Study,” to encourage life-long learning and to show that age is just a number.

More than 100 attend-ees packed Mackey Au-ditorium in the Ruby Gerontology Center on Saturday. Most came ear-ly and occupied themselves by reading newspapers, making wisecracks and checking up on one anoth-er’s grandchildren.

At 9:30 a.m., the session promptly started with a bold address from Michael Stover, president of Osher

Lifelong Learning Institute, who asked the audience, “How many of you don’t want to live to 90?”

Mixed emotions from the audience were apparent; some laughed, while some hands raised.

Stover then asked, “How many want to live to 100?”

Stover finally asked, “How many want to live as long as you’re healthy and mentally strong and vibrant?”

All hands raised and the auditorium echoed with

agreement and chatter. Saturday’s event was

put on by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute volun-teers and is one of 20 in a series of various medi-cal sessions provided free and open to the public this semester.

UC Irvine initiated The 90+ Study in 2003. It is supported by a $9 million grant and was featured on 60 Minutes and The To-night Show with Jay Leno.

Surprised that so many seniors were anxious to participate in the session, Ellie Monroe, treasurer of Osher Lifelong Learn-ing Institute and instruc-tor of a line dancing class, described the notion of the oldest of the old, “a private thing,” because often, many in that age group tend to not want to be “up there,” Mon-roe said.

“The oldest of the old” refers to those who live be-

yond the age of 90. Speaker for the event, Dana Greenia, RN, MS and Co-investiga-tor of The 90+ study, said those who are 90+ are the largest growing population in America today.

“If increase in life ex-pectancy continues, half of all children today born in developed countries will live to their 100th birth-day,” Greenia said.

The 90+ Study is the largest of its kind. Greenia explained that because life expectancy for the elderly

is increasing if the project-ed U.S. population growth continues in the direction it’s in by 2050, the U.S. will have 10 million people over the age of 90.

“That’s one out of 50 people. So, you can imagine that it will be a huge public health burden because these folks consume; they’re the largest consumers of health care. Alzheimer’s disease costs more than all can-cers and heart disease com-bined,” Greenia said.

Greenia and her UCI medical team retrieved a survey from 1981 where nearly 14,000 residents of Leisure World, now called Laguna Woods, filled out a basic health survey con-cerning their lifestyle, vita-min intake and leisure for a prior study USC conducted called The Leisure World Cohort Study. The 90+ Study got in contact with 1,931 of the surviving par-ticipants who are now 90 years old or older.

The goal for The 90+ Study is to, “contribute to the prevention or the delay of the development of Alz-heimer’s disease and de-mentia,” Greenia said.

Geenia shared with lis-teners many surprising facts that The 90+ Study has found. She said factors like green tea, calcium and vita-mins C, A, and E are not as-sociated with life longevity, but moderate alcohol, caf-feine, exercise, leisure and a higher body mass index did in fact correlate with the participants’ longevity.

Audience members jok-ingly cheered at the unex-pected findings.

“Living to 90 is a char-acteristic of many of our members,” Stover said. “In fact, just a month ago … we

honored 23 members who reached the age of 90 and beyond.”

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is part of CSU Fullerton Auxilia-ry Services. The affiliate group has about 1,600 re-tired and semi-retired mem-bers who strive to pursue “lifelong learning.”

The volunteer-led pro-gram falls under the univer-sity’s extended education. The Osher Lifelong Learn-ing Institute offers a broad range of 140 classes and ac-tivities this semester from line dancing to watercolor painting, technology class-es, social events, activities and lecture groups.

Members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

assist students as well as faculty in multiple col-leges and administrative divisions at Cal State Ful-lerton, sometimes as guest lecturers, test subjects or mentors, based on their oc-cupational backgrounds, Stover said.

Osher Lifelong Learn-ing Institute volunteers not only teach their own class-es and coordinate and de-velop the curriculum, they also, “led the fundrais-ing that led to financing, and the construction of this center (the Ruby Ger-ontology Center) without any taxpayer money. As a matter of fact, one of our members was the project engineer and donated his services,” Stover said.

After covering many other aspects from demen-tia to blood pressure, Gree-nia closed the session on a positive note and a cartoon with the caption, “Did you hear? 95 is the new 65!” Attendees lively applauded and lined up to ask her per-sonal questions.

“It’s really a neat, neat, neat experience to be in be-cause I’m on the young-er side, so for me it’s neat watching these older people and learning from them … they’re kind of a good exam-ple for us to follow and they teach us how to grow old gracefully and to show that there’s no limitations,” Mon-roe said.

You can imagine that it will be a huge public burden because these folks consume; they’re the largest consumers of health care.

Some people are driv-en. Then there’s Rohullah Latif.

At 23, Latif is a Cal State Fullerton alumnus and for-mer president of Associat-ed Students Inc., he is now building upon his academic achievements and prepping for his master’s at Johns Hopkins University.

Planning his major in Mechanical Engineer-ing, Latif is seeking more than outstanding academic achievement and is focused on his passion for helping others.

“I want to succeed, but if it is not helping people

then there is no point in succeeding,” he said. “This is because my defi-nition of success is per-sonal success, but at the same time you are making a difference in the lives of others.”

An Afghanistan native, Latif witnessed first-hand the sacrifices his mother made for him and his three sisters to succeed.

“She played the role of both a mother and a fa-ther, working three or four jobs,” Latif said.

Latif recalls seeing the struggle his mother en-dured, working multiple jobs in order to provide for his family. Her strug-gle is a constant remind-er of where he came from and he uses it as his moti-vation to work hard toward his goals.

In 2000, when Latif was 10 years old, he moved to

the U.S. with his single mother and three sisters–without knowing a word of English.

But even the young Lat-if would not let a language barrier stand in the way of his goals. Latif knew what he wanted and knew ex-actly how he was going to achieve those goals.

“After my move from Afghanistan, I started get-ting involved in police pro-grams and had plans of joining the police acad-emy following college,” Latif said. “But once I en-tered campus and started getting more involved with my major, things happened that changed my mind,” he said.

Having been involved in a multitude of extracurric-ular activities and student government, Latif felt he was ready to go further, and he did, after being

elected president of As-sociated Students Inc., in 2013.

Fulfilling the role of president and looking out for the student body’s best interest was not always easy for Latif, considering he was the first engineer to hold a presidential seat.

During presidency, Latif learned a lot about himself and the university system as a whole. Working with people of various differ-ent personalities and cul-tures helped Latif under-stand that a person cannot become successful individ-ually, but is ultimately a team effort.

“I have had so many peo-ple influence me, ultimate-ly the current ASI Presi-dent Harpreet Bath and of course my vice president at the time, Jonny Leggett, who challenged me, and made sure I was always

thinking on my feet,” he said.

“His ability to hear peo-ple out, give everybody a chance and bring people together are some qualities that I got to pick up on and have been able to use in my term as president,” said current Associated Stu-dents President Harpreet Bath.

It was not until af-ter graduation that things suddenly became real for Latif.

“Recently my grandfa-ther was in the hospital for a couple weeks in and out, and when I was there visit-ing him, I took a glance at the IV bag. I noticed that it was from the company I am currently working for,” he said.

Latif then knew he had found his calling.

“That same IV bag that was keeping my

grandfather alive was the same bag that I had been working on,” he said. “That is one of the reasons I re-alized that my mechan-ical engineering skills have been able to save not only my grandfather’s life, but the lives of others as well.”

Aside from pursuing his masters in mechanical en-gineering, Latif is current-ly working on starting his own lighting business. Al-though Latif has hesita-tion of investing in some-thing that isn’t necessarily guaranteed.

Latif feels this is a great test, because while your mind is telling you that you can’t get through it, you must ultimately get through it.

“I learned that in life, whatever you want to do, you must have a game plan before you can start influ-encing things,” Latif said.

Arranging this semester’s adventures

The sun was setting when leaders of the CSUF Adventure Club arrived at an extremely cold, yet undeniably breathtaking campground in the San Ga-briel Mountains on Jan. 15 around 5 p.m.

The purpose of the re-treat to Coldbrook Camp-ground, located in the An-geles National Forest, was to brainstorm and plan

the trips the Adventure Club would be taking this semester.

They soon needed a campfire. Bryant Mendo-za, 23, graphic design ma-jor and the club’s treasurer, jumped at the opportuni-ty to use his ferrocerium rod, a man-made metallic material that sparks when scraped upon a rough sur-face. After starting the campfire, they began dis-cussing the spring itiner-ary over hamburgers on the grill.

The meeting determined there will be three camp-ing trips, three hiking trips and three activity trips for

this semester. The actual locations, dates and times for these trips will become available to club members as soon as they reserve each location, but for now they’re aiming for nine adventures.

According to Secretary of the Adventure Club, Me-lissa Yang, 20, many stu-dents hesitate to join the club because they don’t think they’re athletic or ad-venturous enough to keep up with everyone else.

“It’s open for everyone of all levels. You don’t have to be experienced at something. We try to keep our events balanced

so that people of all phys-ical shapes can try to get into these activities,” Yang said.

Toward the end of the night, the leaders encoun-tered Yucca plants around their campsite and got crafty with their discov-ery. Yucca plants are green shrubs with sharp leaves that spike out from the cen-ter. When the leaves are dried out, they become strong enough to be braid-ed into ropes.

The leaders were in-structed on how to braid them properly together into bracelets and ropes by Mendoza.

President of the Adven-ture Club and computer science major, Hemanth Sivakumar, 19, urged stu-dents to join clubs to make the most out of their time in college. Before he was president, he felt as though he was “just another eager college student looking to live a little more.”

“I never saw myself as an outgoing person. Adven-ture Club, CSUF helped me find the adventurous side of me. Joining the club helps students find and build their inner adventur-ers,” Sivakumar said.

Days of Discovery is an event put on by CSUF

Student Life Programs at the beginning of each se-mester in order to assist students in finding a club. The central quad becomes filled with tables repre-senting all of the clubs and organizations looking for new members, and its been confirmed that the Adven-ture Club will be there for both days of Days of Dis-covery seeking new eager students who are up for adventures.

“It’s an easy way to start to get more into the out-doors. We have to appreci-ate the land we have. You have to go out and experi-ence it,” Mendoza said.

Dismissing the Patriots is the right move

Choosing to go it alone and loving it everyday

The New England Patriots shouldn’t be allowed to play in the upcoming Super Bowl if the NFL finds them guilty of intentionally deflating the balls that were used in last week’s game against the Indi-anapolis Colts.

Football players are idolized in today’s society and the Su-per Bowl is the most viewed program on television, with millions of dollars going to-wards advertising.

As news broke over the past few days that the Patriots were being investigated for possibly deflating 11 balls used in their game against the Colts, fans were infuriated.

This isn’t the first time the

Patriots have been involved in questionable activities. In 2007, they were involved in the Spygate controver-sy, in which they were fined $500,000 and denied their first-round draft pick because they recorded sideline signals used by the New York Jets.

Tom Brady and various oth-er players on the team are held up as role models for impres-sionable young fans, and this sends a disturbing message that cheating is acceptable. Reactions have been mixed, but even professional ath-letes like Russell Sherman said, “Whatever they did, the risk-reward was greater.”

Now, are we simply going to stand by and say, “Well, every-body cheats, and it is justified because they wanted to win.”

This points to a larger issue played out in high schools and colleges, where cheating is significantly on the rise.

75 percent of high school students have admitted to

cheating on tests and home-work, according to a recent study from the Josephson In-stitute of Ethics.

One out of every three stu-dents has used the Internet to plagiarize assignments, and research indicates similar trends among undergraduate and graduate students.

The value of hard work and putting off the need for imme-diate gratification has become an old fashioned ideal.

The reactions to the allega-tions brought against the Patri-ots indicate that people don’t think cheating is cheating un-less they get caught.

The reactions also show that as society becomes more and more competitive, our culture expects people to cheat be-cause it shows that they are always looking to advance themselves.

The cheater gets their re-ward and then feels justified in their actions, despite the fact that they didn’t earn it

honorably. “It’s certainly accepted as

part of the culture that you game the system as much as you possibly can, and if you don’t get caught, it ain’t cheat-ing,” said Stephen Mosher, a sports ethics professor at Itha-ca College, in a recent article from the New York Times.

“I’m sure the Patriots are not the first, nor are they the last team to do this kind of

thing.” The Patriots are currently

valued as a multibillion-dollar team, according to Forbes.

The highest penalty they will probably pay for the “de-flate-gate” controversy is $25,000.

This seems like a slap on the wrist. Although it’s still an ongoing inves-tigation, if they’re found guilty, what should their

punishment be? Could there have been

a different outcome to the game?

It’s definitely an intriguing mystery, but the integrity of the game must be preserved, and since the Patriots didn’t learn their lesson after the hefty fines from Spygate, they shouldn’t be allowed to play in the Super Bowl.

The Patriots should be penalized and banned if guilty

SARAH HEMADIFor the Daily Titan

I recently had the privi-lege of traveling with family, and as usual it was chaotic, confusing, loud and exhaust-ing. Most importantly, it was incredibly fun.

Some of you might be able to remember the last time you had a big get-together with your relatives. Wheth-er it was coming together for a camping trip, spending the day at a theme park or

taking a cruise with the en-tire gang. Family time is im-portant, but sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming.

I’ve always been indepen-dent, even as a child I would constantly drift away from my parents to explore on my own. No matter if it was at the toy store, the park or, to my mother’s horror,－while traveling around in a brand new city.

There was something ex-hilarating about being on my own, especially in a foreign place. When you’re alone, you see and explore the plac-es around you differently.

When I was 12 years old, I lost my family while travel-ing in San Francisco and it’s

still one of my fondest mem-ories to this day. It was the first time I’d ever been com-pletely separated from any-one I knew, in a place where no one knew who I was.

At first it was a bit dis-concerting, but eventually I started browsing around the streets, popping in to book-stores and boutiques, enjoy-ing the scenery and people around me and I eventually found my way to the most delicious coffee shop in my life.

Maybe it was the novel-ty of the separation that ex-cited me at 12 years old, but I found that to be untrue as I’ve gotten older.

Not many people can say

they’ve traveled alone and I don’t blame them. It can be a bit scary if you’re in a for-eign country or for fear of getting lost, but the idea be-hind traveling alone is still worth considering.

Spending time with your-self is both a privilege and a right. We are bombarded with so many tasks and peo-ple throughout the day. We have to answer to our bosses, take care of our family, wor-ry about school or wonder if we’ll land that job. This can be taxing and burdensome.

Being alone with our-selves means we don’t have to answer to anyone, we are alone with our thoughts and answer only to ourselves.

I was traveling in Hong Kong last summer and de-cided to spend a few days by myself. I walked around the city, relying only on a map and my rusty Chinese. I learned to let the journey write itself, going where I pleased and stopping when I chose, never worrying about time.

I felt free and untethered from myself. I felt I could be anyone and do anything, and that’s a feeling I’ll never tire of.

The next time you have a day off, consider traveling by yourself. It doesn’t have to be on vacation, but it can be a day trip to a local city or even going out to lunch

and catching a movie by yourself.

If you’ve never done this before, it may be strange at first, but you’ll learn a lot more about yourself in the end. Being alone gives you time to notice your environ-ment when no one is taking your attention away.

It fosters confidence knowing you don’t have to rely on anyone else to be content. Being alone can also open up new opportu-nities around you because you only see through your perspective and are free to act and peruse as you desire. Don’t be afraid to be alone. It’s the best gift that you can give yourself.

Exploring the world on your own is the best way to do it.

With a big 4-3 win against rival Long Beach State at Lakewood Ice, the Titan ice hockey team secured a spot in the West Coast Hockey Con-ference playoffs.

The loss for Long Beach knocks them out of contention for the playoffs.

“It was a huge win. Long Beach is our rival and we knew coming in here, playing in their house, that we need-ed to play a big game and we did,” Fullerton Assistant Coach Chris Houlihan said.

The game started out ag-gressively, with a lot of hits. Long Beach was the first to break open the scoring at the 7:43 mark. From the right side, 49er Matt Jolliff fired a shot

that was stopped by Cal State Fullerton goalie Trevor Wada, but Kris Rogers was there to deposit the rebound.

Alec Censullo gave Fuller-ton their first big chance on a breakaway 12 minutes into the game, but Long Beach goal-ie Corey Jones made the save. The Titans, however, equal-ized late into the first period.

Mischa Chang streaked down the left side, turned on the afterburners and blew by his defender. He swept in front of the net with speed, and a sprawling Jones could do noth-ing as Chang potted the goal.

Early in the second, Long Beach had a prime opportu-nity to regain the lead with a power play. Fullerton’s Sean Saligumba picked the pock-et of a 49er defender and wrapped it around Jones to give the Titans their first lead.

The rivalry started setting in at the midway point, as things got heated with some extracurricular pushing and

shoving after each stoppage of play.

“We know the type of game Long Beach plays, they will try and get under your skin,” Houlihan said.

With the Titans on the power play, David Marabel-la received a pass from Cen-sullo on the right side. With traffic parked in front of the net, Marabella sniped a wris-ter to the top right corner off the post and into the back of the net to make it 3-1.

Ian Hoang breathed life back into the 49ers, putting the moves on the Titan defense during a 4-on-4 and rifling it to the top left corner past Wada at the 16:35 mark of the second period.

Early into the third, Chang used his blazing speed again to race past a Long Beach de-fender and to get to the front of the net. Chang’s backhanded shot got through Jones’ legs, bringing the Titan lead back to two.

As the penalty minutes

accumulated, the Titans found themselves having to lean on their penalty kill unit to secure the win. At 5:11, the 49ers had a goal called back because of high-sticking, but then 44 sec-onds later they got their re-ward. Adam Johnson scored a rebound in his debut with the team.

With 10 minutes remaining in the game, the 49ers had a golden opportunity with 1:33 on the 5-on-3 advantage. “I was nervous as hell,” Wada said. “I kept looking at the clock and was thinking, ‘Al-right, five minutes, three min-utes, two minutes, one min-ute … It was like a little kid screaming, ‘Oh my God’ the whole time.”

However, Wada and the Ti-tans stood tough to kill the penalty. Wada made a huge save by lunging to his right on a point blank shot and just seconds later took a shot off his mask. The Titans were on their heels, but they did not break and held on to win 4-3.

The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team may not have had their best week-end, but they kept it close against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and grinded out a win against UC Santa Barbara.

After a flying start to the Big West Conference sched-ule at 2-0, UC Davis halted the Titans’ four-game win-ning streak. Cal Poly SLO came to Titan Gym and knocked CSUF down to a me-diocre 2-2 in conference.

All season long, the Titans have been putting their focus toward shutting down the op-posing team’s top threat and forcing supporting players to step up; Thursday was no dif-ferent. The Mustangs’ highest scorer, Ariana Elegado, is av-eraging 15.8 points per game, good for fourth in the Big West. However, Elegado was

held scoreless through the first half.

“We’re going to make somebody else beat us,” Head Coach Daron Park said. “We’re not just going to lay back and say, ‘We know you’re a big-time player, do whatever you want.’”

With Elegado struggling, Kristen Ale stepped up for the Mustangs with a 10-point first half effort. The Titans shot themselves in the foot in the first half, going a dismal 2-of-11 from the free throw line. Cal Poly SLO carried a 30-19 advantage into halftime.

In the second half, the Ti-tans trailed by as many as 17 points with seven minutes to play, but Park switched to full-court pressure in an at-tempt to force turnovers. The strategy worked well, cutting the deficit to just six with un-der two minutes left, but the clock was against the Titans’ side. The Mustangs fended off the comeback bid to win 57-48.

Poor free throw shooting plagued the Titans in the sec-ond half again, making just 8-of-15 attempts from the

charity stripe. They finished the game 38.5 percent from the line (10-of-26), a stat that baffled Park.

“We are a 75 percent shoot-ing team from the free throw line, so that was really un-characteristic for us,” Park said. “If you get a chance to get to the line and cut into the

lead with the clock stopped, we have to take advantage of that.”

Fullerton bounced back with a 54-50 win against UCSB to keep the Gauchos winless at 0-18. Santa Barbara, however, played their hearts out and were determined to get their elusive first win.

“I think every team is scary,” Park said. “If you put on an opposing jersey and come into our gym, you’re coming in to try and take something from us, so we don’t take anybody lightly.”

A key factor for Fuller-ton fending off a feisty Gau-chos squad was the return of forward Kathleen Iwuo-ha. The senior from Rancho Cucamonga missed the pre-vious three matches due to a concussion.

“I was excited to play,” Iwuoha said. “At the begin-ning the game I had jitters, but as I got warmed up and comfortable, the game just came to me.”

Offense didn’t come easy for either team in the first half, with both teams shoot-ing under 40 percent from the floor. The Titans were sloppy with their possessions early, turning the ball over 14 times in the first 20 minutes. UCSB held a slim 24-22 lead going into the locker room.

The Titans began the sec-ond half with a trick play, lin-ing up all their players under the same basket they attacked

in the first half. Unaware of the deviation, UCSB failed to notice when Fullerton in-bounded the ball to Chante Miles, who went unopposed for an easy lay-up on the oth-er end. The trick play has been something the team has talked about in practice, Park said.

“I couldn’t make it too ob-vious, but it was a great feel-ing to know that my team-mates helped me out, too, and executed the play,” Miles said.

Fullerton regained the lead at the 5:25 mark, and the Gauchos were forced to foul late in the game. The Ful-lerton faithful were nervous late. With 15 seconds remain-ing and a 2-point advantage, Tailer Butler stepped up to the line to ice the game. She missed both attempts, but Portia Neale corralled the re-bound and Miles drained her free throws to put the game to bed.

The Titans will next turn their focus to their upcoming away game on Thursday. Ful-lerton play rivals Long Beach State at 7 p.m.

Senior guard Chante Miles and the Titans successfully pulled off a trick play to start the second half against UC Santa Barbara.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

Although you might be able to commune with your inner warrior today, it isn’t easy to follow through with definitive action.

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

Your friends are annoying today if they don’t de-liver on their promises. You may grow frustrated with their unreliability, but it won’t likely be se-vere enough to provoke your wrath.

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

Making up your mind seems nearly impossible today, even if you thought you were sure of your position. Nevertheless, if you know what is best for you, you may be reconsidering a previous decision now.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

The heightened intensity of your emotions makes you feel rejuvenated today because it puts you in touch with an endless supply of energy.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

Your inner reality may be in conflict with exter-nal circumstances as a tricky situation reaches a climax today. You could even temporarily lose your temper, but the results of an uncontrolled emotional outburst won’t make anyone happier.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

It’s no fun being bossed around by a coworker who isn’t as efficient or clever as you, and today you’re not willing to do all the work while some-one else gets the credit.

LIBRA(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

You could work all day without looking up, yet it might seem as if you’re not making any progress at all. However, your relentless effort and unwavering hope combine to produce an unbeatable strategy now.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

Physical expression is critical today while the evoc-ative Moon runs into passionate Mars, flooding you with excess energy. Unfortunately, your words may not convey the intensity of your feelings.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

You might be confused about your beliefs today, but your uncertainty may not be observable by anyone else. Your dilemma could prompt you to delve deep to question the relationship between your personal goals.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

You may feel like a winner today and capable of fighting like a champ, if necessary. Your strength of conviction emboldens you to take a stand for something that’s especially meaningful to you.

AQUARIUS(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18):

There isn’t a quick fix to an ongoing financial problem, although prudent action can have a very positive impact on your circumstances now.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

There is a big difference between your self-per-ception and how someone else perceives you today. You might believe that you’re responding to a developing situation in a perfectly normal manner.

A swing through Cali-fornia’s central coast netted some positive results for the Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team. However, they were not able to get that elusive first Big West Confer-ence win.

The Titans concluded a two-game road trip with de-feats versus Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Thursday and against UC Santa Barbara on Saturday.

With the setbacks, the

Titans remain winless in conference play with a 0-5 mark, while the squad is 8-12 overall.

Despite a 68-49 defeat to Santa Barbara on Saturday, CSUF had its moments, in-cluding when the squad took a 36-31 lead into halftime.

That marked the first time the Titans had taken an ad-vantage into the break in con-ference play this season.

The Titans’ lead was fu-eled behind the team’s 46 percent shooting from behind the arc, including a 3-for-5 effort from redshirt junior guard Lanerryl Johnson.

Overall, CSUF shot 47 per-cent from the field in the first half.

Unfortunately for the Ti-tans, the hot start didn’t last,

as the team went ice cold in the second half, shoot-ing 14 percent from the field while only hitting 1-of-10 3-pointers over the final 20 minutes.

CSUF took its largest lead, 40-33, after a pair of free throws from Johnson with 17:26 remaining.

Another seven minutes passed before Fullerton scored again.

On the flip side, the Gau-chos (10-9 overall, 3-2 Big West) heated up with a 19-0 run, aided by five points apiece from Mitch Brewe and Michael Bryson and capped on with a layup from John Green with 10:46 left to put Santa Barbara ahead, 52-40.

Senior Josh Gentry finally

snapped CSUF’s drought with a jumper at 10:22, but the Titans never sliced their deficit to less than nine points.

In defeat, Johnson finished with a team-high 21 points, which was the second time the Atlanta native has scored 20 or more points in confer-ence play this season.

CSUF senior forward Steve McClellan, the confer-ence’s third-leading rebound-er at eight boards per game, totaled seven points and 12 rebounds. Moses Morgan added 10 points off the bench for Fullerton.

As for Thursday, the Ti-tans hung close with Cal Poly SLO before losing, 66-55.

McClellan was his team’s lone scorer in double digits,

finishing with 12 points and 12 rebounds for his fourth double-double this season.

While the Titans lacked di-versity in scoring, the Mus-tangs (10-8 overall, 3-3 Big West) boasted three players in double figures, with David Nwaba leading the pack with 18 points.

The Titans trailed at the half, 26-22, and appeared on the brink of being blown out as Cal Poly SLO raced to a 39-24 advantage after a free throw from Brian Bennett at 17:09. But Fullerton bat-tled back with a layup from Gentry, a tip-in from McClel-lan and two free throws from Alex Harris to climb within nine at the 15:45 mark.

Eventually, the Titans cut the deficit to 53-48 on a

3-pointer from Harris with 5:25 left in the game. The comeback fizzled out though, as Cal Poly SLO scored the next six points and never looked back.

For Fullerton, the current five-game losing streak is the longest since a five-game slide from Nov. 19 through Dec. 1 in 2013, and marks the first time Fullerton has dropped five straight confer-ence contests since 2011.

The Titans are hoping to avoid their first 0-6 start to conference play since the 2001-02 season.

CSUF has only one game this week, as it hosts rival Long Beach State at Titan Gym on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the 110th meeting be-tween the schools.

Men’s basketball remains winless

Junior Justin Garza got the nod to start and did not dis-appoint, throwing five score-less innings with four strike-outs, while only giving up two hits to the alumni.

“I thought Garza, today, was really good. He was sit-ting around 93 [mph], he had command of the change-up, the slider was a real pitch. He competed good,” Head Coach Rick Vanderhook said.

Freshman John Gavin pitched for the alumni team, and was equally impressive against the current Titan squad, throwing five score-less innings himself and striking out six.

Vanderhook said he was impressed with Gavin’s per-formance also.

“I thought John Gavin threw the ball really well, he threw basically fastballs, in, out. Mixed it around; was sneaky,” Vanderhook said.

While the alumni game is a chance for players to have fun, Vanderhook said he’s more focused on competition.

“I’m looking forward to playing on Feb. 13 when we quit playing each other or someone we know and go-ing out and playing the game good, competing and having some fun,” he said.

The current Titan squad broke it open in the home half of the sixth inning with a leadoff double by fresh-man Scott Hurst, who was eventually brought home by freshman Chris Hudgins’ double to score the first run of the game. Junior David

Olmedo-Barrera plated an-other two runs with his dou-ble before being brought in by junior Josh Vargas’ single to make the score 4-0.

In the bottom of the sev-enth inning, the Titans’ bats continued to come alive with another six runs to seal the game against the alumni, 10-0.

Junior transfer students Hunter Cullen and Vargas were all smiles after their first Alumni Game.

“It’s a dream come true, it’s what I’ve always wanted and it’s great to be part of the Titans,” Cullen said.

When asked what he learned from the alum-ni, Vargas shared some ad-vice that enabled him to stay poised and focused.

“Stay relaxed,” he said. “(Alumni) were telling me to

just relax, because the pres-sure is going to get to you a little bit, especially playing here with all the fans and just

stay relaxed and play your game, there’s a reason you’re here.”

In terms of looking

forward to the season, Var-gas only has one thing on his mind.

“Feb. 13,” he said.

The current Titans chat and share laughs with the alumni after the game. The alumni advised the team to just relax and stay calm, because the pressure of wearing a Titan uniform will get to them.
