Students may or may not be aware of the Western State University College of Law property on north State College Boulevard located across the street from Cal State Fullerton. The building faces the west side of the CSUF campus and is located next to Troy High School.

Even more students might be unaware

that this building could become the prop-erty of CSUF as early as this October af-ter the CSU Board of Trustees approved the funds to purchase the college at the Board of Trustees meeting Sept. 19.

The approved purchase would cover the entire 86,000-square-foot property and has a reported purchase price of $18,250,000.

Director of Media Relations and New Me-dia for CSU Chancellor’s Office, Mike Uhlen-kamp, said that the majority of the money being used to purchase the Western State Uni-versity property is coming from a mixture of the CSU systemwide revenue bond program

and CSUF’s extended education program. Uhlenkamp explained that the pur-

pose of the CSU systemwide revenue bond program is meant to “refinance the acquisition, construction, renovation and improvement of certain facilities of the Cal State University.”

“The purchase of the property is $18,250,000,” said Uhlenkamp. “Of that amount, $5,000,000 will be contributed by Fullerton’s University extended edu-cation. The remaining $13,250,000 will be financed through the bond program.”

Even though CSUF will own the proper-ty, both students and faculty will not be able

to use the facilities for another three years. For the next three years, the college will

occupy the building, but it will pay rent for the space until CSUF makes the site part of the campus. The rent will offset some of the purchase price over time.

Christopher Bugbee, director of me-dia relations for CSUF, said the process is similar to the purchase and use of the College Park building. This would mean that classes would continue as usual for Western State University students and faculty.

Police arrested a Cal State Fuller-ton student at his residence Friday after he was found in possession of a stolen iPhone. The iPhone was alleg-edly stolen from a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon at the fraternity house the night before.

According to University Police Lt. Scot Willey, the victim of the theft used a GPS tracking device app to locate his missing phone.

“We were able to locate where their phone was. We were able to go to that location and confirm that’s where the phone was and talk to the suspect,” said Wil-ley. “The suspect was very honest about it and admitted to taking (the iPhone).”

The suspect, Cristobal Martinez-Chavez, was booked at the Orange County jail for grand theft, and pos-sessing and receiving stolen prop-erty, Willey said.

Penal Code 487 states that grand theft is theft committed when the money, labor and real or personal property taken is of a value exceed-ing $950, except as provided in sub-division (b).”

Penal code 496 states that any person who knowingly buys or re-ceives stolen property is subject to imprisonment in a county jail for up to one year and also subject to being convicted of a misdemeanor.

A misdemeanor under grand theft can entail up to one year in county jail and also a maximum fine of $1,000. A felony under a grand theft charge can result in a sentencing of two to three years in a California State Prison and a maxi-mum fine of $10,000.

Cal State Fullerton theatregoers will get the chance to see one of the most controversial plays of the last 30 years, Baby with the Bathwater.

Cast and crew members of the De-partment of Theatre and Dance are tackling the Christopher Durang cre-ation from Friday to Oct. 21.

The screenplay was directed by Kari Hayter.

Baby with the Bathwater depicts subjects who partake in cross-dressing, bad parenting, adultery, psychological damaging and self-evaluating acts.

While written in a cleverly hu-morous way that will leave the au-dience laughing at times, some of the actors themselves said they felt inappropriate.

As Baby with the Bathwater nears its premier date, Cheryl Gottselig (who plays the role of Cynthia) said playwright Christo-pher Durang is brilliant in that he is so twisted about the play.

She added that he makes a big statement with messages that come through underneath the play.

“This show in general is really fun

and when I read it I was hoping I’d be in it,” said Gottselig. “It’s so out there and it’s hilarious but it’s a dark comedy when sometimes you don’t know if you can laugh.”

The play is about a boy named Daisy who was left by his dysfunc-tional parents.

His confusion leads to abrupt and shocking behavior at a young age which is deterred by the older generation in the performance.

As the story continues, Daisy attends therapy and the repercus-sions of these events are more ap-

parent than he realized. The dark comedy will make the

audience think and laugh about lifes sometimes unfair situations.

Danielle Amick (who plays the role of Helen) said the message the screenplay brings to audiences is that people can change their life and take control of their life, but to should always keep loved ones close by.

Amick also made light of the im-portance of the humor in the play.

Tyler Hainey has quite a busy life. Between hockey, challenging classes, honor societies, and Greek life, it is a wonder that the 22-year-old has enough time to sleep. The senior civil engineering major works on constantly juggling his schedule and making everything fit into his busy life.

Hainey is a rarity among student athletes: He puts his heart and soul into sports and is actively involved in nu-merous honor societies, such as Tau Beta Pi, Chi Epsilon, American Society of Civil Engineers, Phi Beta Delta, the National Society of Collegiate Engineers, and the fraternity Pi Kappa Alpha, which he is one of the founding fathers. He does all of this while maintaining a 3.82 GPA. He was also named an “Academic All-American” hockey player by the American Collegiate Hockey Association Division II.

Hainey, the hockey club president, has developed into a strong and motivating leader through these organiza-tions. He never goes into something half-heartedly and is always there to help.

“I feel I’m a leader. I might not be the biggest vocal guy to get up and talk in front of everybody, but the way I act people can see how much effort I put into things, and how I really care about things,” said Hainey.

Anthony Webb, 24, an accounting major, close friend and hockey teammate, has witnessed first hand Hainey’s ability in helping others.

“You always know Hainey is going to be there,” said Webb. “You always know if you have a problem or need help with something, you can always ask Tyler.”

Hainey’s longtime friend Brent Thomas agrees. “Hainey is a good leader. When something happens,

he will definitely voice his opinion,” said the 22-year-old chemistry major.

Hainey tries to be more than just a leader. “I feel like I’m a role model to people at least academic

wise. A lot of hockey guys struggle in education in their

classes. They can look up to me and see that I can do it and still play hockey,” Hainey said.

With his responsibilities and involvements, Hainey must find a way to balance everything out. Thinh Luc, 24, a civil engineering major, watches in amazement as his friend jug-gles his packed schedule.

“I really don’t know how he does it all. He just finds that balance in everything he does,” said Luc.

Even Hainey doesn’t know how he does it all. “It’s tough. I’m always frustrated. I never really have

much time to do what I want to do,” Hainey said. “I’m always stressed out. I’m just so busy.”

Football player exonerated

A 26-year-old ex-convict for-merly accused of rape, Brian Banks, is scheduled to play with the Las Vegas Locomo-tives of the United Football League this season.

Banks was charged and con-victed of rape of a high school classmate in 2002 and the court tossed the conviction in May.

Following his exoneration, Banks was recruited by the Las Vegas Locomotives and remains steadfast in his faith and desire to reach his dream of playing in the NFL, according to the Los Angeles Times.

His attorney advised Banks to plead no contest and endured six years of imprisonment in or-der to avoid a potentially long sentence, probation and regis-tration as a sex offender while maintaining his innocence.

He thereby forfeited a scholar-ship to the University of Southern California as middle line-backer.

Earlier this year, the former classmate retracted her accusa-tion, admitting that Banks had never assaulted her.

U.S. soldier killed by friendly fire

A soldier trying to scare anoth-er soldier out of hiccups shot his comrade in the face, killing him, authorities said Tuesday.

According to CNN, the sus-pect used a gun to scare the victim in order to stop him from hiccuping. The suspect was also said to have been drinking alco-hol and watching football at the time of the incident.

Pfc. Patrick Edward Myers, 27, was charged Tuesday with manslaughter and Justice of the Peace Garland Potvin set his bond at $1 million, police said.

The victim killed was Pfc. Isaac Lawrence Young, 22, of Ash Grove, Miss., a motor transport operator at the Army base, the military said.

Police responded to a shoot-ing shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday and found a man shot in the face and two other men at the resi-dence, Killeen, Texas police said.

Young was pronounced dead during the ambulance transport to Skylark Field, where he had been scheduled for an airlift to a hospital, authorities said.

DTBRIEFS

“The debt will be paid with rental income, initially from West-ern State College of Law for its continued occupancy through the first three years,” said Bugbee. “In year four and following, the uni-versity will rent space as needed, similar to the current arrange-ment for university use of the Col-lege Park building, purchased in 2000.”

As far as Cal State Fullerton’s fu-ture plans for the Western State Uni-versity property is concerned, said Chief Financial Officer Bill Barrett. Occupation of the building would be decided at a later time.

The property could house any department on campus, but a fi-nal agreement will be made in the future, based on the needs of that department, Barrett said.

“I guess you would call it a collaborative effort on campus to determine what’s the best fit, whether its student services or part of a college or all of a college or whatever would go over there,” said Barrett. “The good news is: We should own it soon, so we have some options in front of us.”

Barrett said that even with three years between renting the property and occupying the property, CSUF will form a committee within the next two years to decide the use of the building. After the initial two years of committee planning, Cal State Fullerton will be able to reach a decision as to what will occupy the Western State University property.

Barrett added that the Western State University property has been considered for purchase by CSUF for five or six years, but reconsid-eration by the property owners

stalled the original sale.After a false start, the current

owners have finally decided to sell the property after CSUF investi-gated and approved the property integrity for future use.

“There are very stringent require-ments by the CSU for what they call due diligence in terms of the struc-tural integrity of the building—its seismic status,” Barrett said. “We went through a significant due dili-gence, as it’s called in the real estate world, before we made a formal of-fer to the current owners to buy it. That’s all been done.”

Even after inspecting the build-

ing, Barrett said that there would still likely be renovations done to the property, which will include seismic work to ensure safety toward future earthquakes and structural stability.

The addition of the Western State University College of Law building will not only add a new building to CSUF, it will also include class-rooms, a library and an additional parking lot with about 300 parking spaces for students and faculty.

“There’s no other land around (CSUF)—we need space,” said President Mildred Garcia about the acquisition.

Students give blood to save lives

The American Red Cross is pro-viding students an opportunity to give back to those in need through American Red Cross’ “Donor Days,” which is running until Thursday in the Titan Student Union Pavilion C.

Laura Tolentino is a part of the Student Health Professions Asso-ciation (SHPA), which is hosting the drive. She encouraged students to donate because she said she be-lieves it is important.

“I give blood to save a life,” said Tolentino. “Scientists cannot dupli-cate blood or make it in lab—hos-pitals depend on it and patients de-pend on it. It’s simple, it’s good, and (there is) little to no pain.”

“Really, it just takes 15 minutes for someone to sit down and do-nate blood,” she said.

This blood drive marks Tolenti-no’s second time giving blood.

As a first time blood donor, Da-vid Andrade, 21, a criminal justice major, was unsure of what to ex-pect during his first blood donat-ing experience.

“I was a little nervous at first, was unsure of how it would feel, but I can suck up a little bit of pain knowing I’m helping some-one,” said Andrade.

Andrade said he had a great first experience donating blood and is more than likely to donate again and spread the word to his friends.

“I am willing to go through mi-nor discomfort to help another life,” he said.

Ruby Vasquez, 18, an unde-clared freshman, said it was her fourth time giving blood and that the benefits far outweigh any pain or inconveniences people might associate with giving blood.

“The fear of the needle is the worst thing, but after you get over that, it’s smooth sailing from there,”

said Vasquez. “A lot of people are scared to try new things, so they’re out of their comfort zone, but the pain in the end is worth it. People exaggerate, giving blood is not as bad as they make it seem.”

The blood drive is open to students looking to “Make a Difference.”

According to the American Red Cross, “Almost everyone during their life will know someone who needs a blood transfusion. They may be car accident or trauma victims, cancer or people with sickle cell dis-ease or other blood disorders.”

The American Red Cross said

there is no substitute and still only one source of blood for transfusion: volunteer blood donors.

For more information on the American Red Cross or to sign up for the blood drive, students can visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.

THEFT: IPhone recovered Lawrence Telles, president of

Sigma Phi Epsilon, declined to comment on the theft. Other fra-ternity members did not respond for comment.

Currently, Apple’s app store on iTunes has over 20 GPS track-ing applications for the iPhone, which makes finding a lost or sto-len phone easier. Many apps al-low users to sign in to accounts, like Gmail, from their computer to find their missing iPhone on a map. Other apps provide al-ternatives to locate lost or stolen iPhones, such as downloading the app on another iPhone to find their own device. While many of these apps are free, only one is cre-ated by Apple.

In 2010, Apple made “Find My iPhone” free for owners of any iOS device newer than the iPhone 4 or fourth-generation iPod Touch or iPad. After downloading the app, find “Settings” and add a

MobileMe account. Creating a MobileMe account will allow you to launch the app to find your de-vice.

“It’s a great use of the iPhone, though. (iPhone tracking systems) are really beneficial to our investi-

gation when you can pinpoint the room that someone’s in when these things happen,” Willey said.

If an iPhone is stolen, the victim must file a police report with the local department and supply them with as much information as possible.

The stolen iPhone was found using Find My iPhone, a proprietary app developed by Apple Inc. to find lost Apple products.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2012WEDNESDAY

After 25 successful missions in space over the past three decades, the space shuttle Endeavour will finally retire and be displayed at the California Science Center (CSC) Oct. 30.

The Endeavour, carried by a Boeing 747, was a spectacle for thousands as it landed at Los Angeles International Airport airport Friday after its cross-country trip from Flor-ida and jaunt around California.

NASA spokesman Michael Curie said af-ter the Columbia accident in 2003 (the ex-plosion of the Challenger), the administra-tion decided that based on an investigation, the space shuttle fleet would be retired after the completion of the International Space Station.

NASA retired the Endeavour to make way for future plans to go beyond Earth’s orbit.

“We’re working on a new rocket capsule that will take us further than we’ve ever been before,” said Curie. “We’re going to focus going back into exploring like we once did when we explored the Moon, now we’re looking to explore an asteroid and ultimate-ly Mars.”

For the next couple weeks, the Endeavour will rest at a United Airlines hangar in LAX as the city of Los Angeles gears for its two-day road trip to the science center, scheduled for Oct. 12-13.

The shuttle will pass through the heart of Los Angeles where people can get an up-close glimpse of the orbital moving just be-low two miles per hour.

Nicholas Busante, a civil engineering major at Cal State Fullerton, said he’s looking forward to see the Endeavour up close and personal.

“It’s such a monumental piece of U.S. his-tory. It would be a shame to pass up that opportunity,” he said.

Associate Communications Director for the California Science Center, Paula Wag-ner, said the Endeavour will make a stop at the intersection of Martin Luther King and Crenshaw boulevards where there will be a celebration of Endeavour’s final mission on the morning of Oct. 13.

“The Endeavour is expected to arrive at the California Science Center in Exposition Park that evening,” she said.

Standing 58 feet tall and with a wingspan of 78 feet, the Endeavour’s 12-mile land com-mute to the science center will require street modifications and closures.

To facilitate its pathway, the CSC is working to temporarily raise utility wires and remove hundreds of traffic lights, pow-er lines and other hurdles in the way of the massive shuttle.

The city of Los Angeles held meetings “to coordinate with the movement of any ob-struction in the path of the route the shuttle is going to take,” said Cora Jackson-Fossett, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Depart-ment of Public Works.

“We’ve already begun removing the trees as well as overhead and underground utilities,” she said.

Nearly 400 trees are expected to be re-moved. Despite the loss, the CSC has agreed to plant 1,000 new trees following the shuttle’s transit.

The shuttle will be on display at its per-manent home in the CSC’s Samuel Oschin

Space Shuttle Endeavour Display Pavilion. Early last year, NASA administrator Char-

lie Bolden announced the locations where the four retired space shuttle orbiters would go.

The Endeavour is among the four NASA shuttles to retire into a museum’s exhibit. Discovery is at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., Enterprise is at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City, and Atlantis is at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

“With the intent that even though the missions were done in space, (NASA) still had one mission to go,” Curie said. “And that was to inspire and educate people from all over the world for years to come by being placed in museums across the United States.”

Guests can visit the Endeavor free of admission at the California Science Cen-ter on opening day Oct. 30. More infor-mation about the Endeavour exhibit can be found at CaliforniaScienceCenter.org.

Program assists grad students with cash

Cal State Fullerton students in need of economic assistance to fund graduate and doctoral programs may consider applying for a Graduate Equity Fellowship.

This scholarship program, available at all CSUs, provides financial help for disadvan-taged students who wish to continue educa-tion after earning an undergraduate degree.

Assistance provided by the program allows students to complete their graduate studies more quickly and minimize their debt after graduation.

These fellowships are funded by the CSU and are aimed to boost the diversity of stu-dents in graduate programs. It encourages students to continue into doctoral studies and promotes university staff opportunities.

Students that have overcome educational disadvantages and hardship are welcome to apply during the spring semester.

To be eligible for a scholarship, students must be enrolled in a graduate degree pro-gram at CSUF and have a minimum of six units.

Qualifying student applications must show a GPA of 3.0 or higher, California residency and a demonstration of need by completion of a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

A strong personal statement and two let-ters of recommendation must also be in-cluded.

The number of scholarships granted each year vary and their cash value can go up to $2,500, according to the graduate studies website.

Graduate students of all majors are able to apply as long as they meet the requirements.

“This program is helpful for students at CSUF because it helps to ease financial stress and allows for a greater freedom to concen-trate on graduate coursework,” said Kristina

Brown-Arellano, a freshman sociology graduate student.

Brown-Arellano is one of 24 students that received a scholarship this year.

Recipients for the 2012-2013 year re-ceived $2,000 each to use over the course of two semesters.

Brown-Arellano said the scholarship will help her immensely. She said she feels a sense of relief knowing she has added finan-cial support that will allow her to focus on her husband and children at home.

“(Graduate studies) in my personal ex-perience is more expensive because I have a family… Whatever money the grad equity program gives me, the $2,000… helps me out because I also take loans. If I want I can save that to pay my loan,” said Orvic Pada, a sophomore sociology graduate student and scholarship recipient.

He said because he is married with kids, the extra money will help. He takes great pride in being actively involved with the graduate program at CSUF as a graduate as-sistant and mentor.

Both Brown-Arellano and Pada aspire to be sociology professors after their studies and obtain a Ph.D. in the future.

For receiving the scholarship, Pada said, “I feel grateful and pretty honored because it is competitive… I bet a bunch of people applied.”

This year, more than 250 applications were submitted and only 24 were selected according to Catalina Olvera, the project director for Enhancing Postbaccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Students (EP-OCHS).

The high number of applicants indicates that the program’s goal of encouraging fur-ther education is a success thus far.

“I am very thankful to have been selected for the Graduate Equity Fellowship” said Brown-Arellano. She encourages students with financial need to apply for the program like she did.

Students interested in gaining additional information on the Graduate Equity Fellow-ship program can refer to CSUF’s graduate studies website or office in McCarthy Hall Room 112.

Deadlines to apply for the following school year will be announced in December.

As Americans, we have become numb to inconceivably large numbers.

Ten-digit figures that used to be reserved for the realm of astronomy now have made their way into the fis-cal vernacular, as billions and trillions are casually bandied about like spare change. Likewise, California’s finan-cial conundrums are also swelling as-tronomically with a major driver be-ing unsustainable pension liabilities from public workers.

California’s three largest public pension funds, the California Pub-lic Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), California State Teach-ers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS), and the University of California Re-tirement System (UCRS) guarantee the retirement packages of 2.6 mil-lion Californians.

These government employees pay a portion of their paycheck into their retirement systems in exchange for life-time pensions and other benefits after retirement. To pay for these promised obligations that are significantly higher than contributions, pension agencies must turn around and invest employee contributions into bonds and mutual funds, with the intention that the prin-cipal grows with the economy.

Unfortunately, this system is unsustainable and untenable in its present form.

For example, in order for CalP-ERS to remain on target for its pen-sion obligations, the agency must maintain a 7.5 percent annual aver-age on returns from investments—a difficult goal even in boom times. However, for the Fiscal Year of 2012, CalPERS only managed a humble 1 percent return within its portfolio, widening the gap between promised and actual resources.

The sheer size of this growing gap is astounding, with a Stanford Uni-versity analysis concluding that these three pension funds alone possess a combined $534.9 billion in unfunded liabilities. This half-trillion dollar dif-ference puts California’s taxpayers on the hook to make up the slack.

Many cities in California face simi-lar pension dilemmas.

The city of Stockton filed for bank-ruptcy in June with $147 million in unfunded city pension liabilities, while San Bernardino owes CalPERS any-where between $143.3 and $319.5 million for its employer contributions after it filed for bankruptcy in August. Los Angeles also possesses a whopping $27 billion in unfunded pension li-ability, while the Orange County Em-ployee’s Retirement System has more than $10 billion in unfunded liabilities according to a separate Stanford study.

Like the state, these municipali-ties are sitting on ticking fiscal time bombs that will inevitably leave them facing bankruptcy.

On Sept. 12, Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 340, the Pension Reform Act, in which he promised “sweeping bipartisan pension reform legislation that saves billions of taxpayer dollars by capping benefits, increasing the retire-ment age, stopping abusive practices and requiring state employees to pay at least half of their pension costs.”

Once Brown ceases his self-congrat-ulatory strutting, he might realize that his reforms are in effect only against newly hired public employees. The state will only begin to see meaningful pension savings around the year 2055, when the current batch of public sector new-hires begin to retire. This extend-ed time frame also gives powerful pub-lic employee unions decades to bribe and coerce lawmakers to peel back the reforms before they go into full effect.

The tragic fact remains that there is not enough private capital to support legions of public sector pensioners at current rates.

Without a drastic change in trajec-tory, someday California’s true pen-sion reform will likely be hammered out by a judge in a bankruptcy court during a federally mandated restruc-turing package in return for federal bailouts needed for the state’s daily op-erating expenses.

If nothing is done, California’s insol-vency drama likely will mimic the cur-rent Greek economic tragedy.

Recent business decisions made by Chick-fil-A have left many individuals wondering whether the multi-billion dollar company has actually changed its tune on gay marriage.

According to Chicago lawmaker Joe Moreno, the company recently pledged to cut ties with anti-gay organizations while renewing efforts to treat all customers with respect regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation in an internal memo which was sent to him. Prior to this, the company was having difficulty opening in a Chi-cago neighborhood because Moreno had blocked them from opening there.

For the first time in a long time, it sounded as though the chain was trying to be anything but political.

So can we close the door on the chicken sandwich being anything more than what it is? The answer is probably not that simple.

The issue started this summer when Chick-fil-A’s president Dan Cathy made a statement about “traditional marriage.”

“I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,’’’ said Cathy.

As the controversy of what Cathy said

started reaching people, so did Chick-fil-A’s questionable contributions to various groups that stand against gay marriage. Close to $2 million was donated to these groups by WinShape—Chick-fil-A’s chari-table arm—in 2010.

Although understandable, the tur-moil surrounding Cathy’s comments and WinShape’s contributions was a little un-necessary. Eating at Chick-fil-A suddenly became a vehicle by which people could express a political opinion. Chick-fil-A was no longer a place to eat, but rather a battle-ground for people to throw their views at one another.

As a myriad of people rallied together in support of Cathy’s Christian viewpoint, many others formed protests and called for a boycott of the chain. Apparently nobody seemed to realize just how ridiculous it was to argue over chicken sandwiches.

Perhaps sensing the increasing tension of the situation, the company set out to rid themselves of a political image. By sending out a new memo and planning to cut their ties with many of the charities that were drawing the ire of various LGBT and civil rights groups, Chick-fil-A was making a serious attempt to take politics out of the equation. Their focus on treat-ing all people with respect and the same kind of service couldn’t have made their intentions any clearer.

And yet, in spite of their attempt to be anything but political, Chick-fil-A felt the eyes of just about everyone the moment

they gave Moreno the memo.Many of the conservative Christians that

had bought Cathy’s message were unhappy because they felt Chick-fil-A had turned on its previous values. LGBT groups and sup-porters couldn’t be sure if Chick-fil-A’s cur-rent standpoint was legitimate, or merely a ploy to get increased business.

It appeared that Chick-fil-A had a long way to go before they could satisfy anyone.

As if the situation wasn’t bad enough al-ready, Cathy felt it was necessary to knock down all the progress his company had made by effectively negating everything that had been expressed in the memo.

“There continues to be erroneous im-plications in the media that Chick-fil-A changed our practices and priorities in or-der to obtain permission for a new restau-rant in Chicago. That is incorrect. Chick-fil-A made no such concessions, and we remain true to who we are and who we

have been,” he said in a formal statement to Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor.

Perhaps Cathy was trying to appease Chris-tians and right-wingers his company had dis-appointed; perhaps he was just being foolish.

Whatever the case, one thing remains clear: In order to determine Chick-fil-A’s sincerity when it comes to staying out of politics, people must look to its actions rather than its words.

If Cathy had been able to keep with the idea that he wanted to revise policies and contributions, he and his company would have eventually come out OK. But with his comment, it’s impossible for the company to make any credible formal statement at this point. Now the only thing that we can do is look to what contributions WinShape makes in the future to determine if the company is truly being less political.

Let’s be honest. The amount of divisive-ness that has arisen as a result of the original stance is ridiculous. People who want to eat at the chain should be able to, and people who don’t should feel free not to. But to get into complex arguments and angry displays to prove a point is just silly.

People need to learn to accept each other in spite of different opinions.

And for Moreno to prevent the expansion of a business because he disagrees with their policies and contributions is extremely silly.

If people stopped adding fuel to the fire, maybe then Chick-fil-A could figure out what image they want to provide its cus-tomers with and execute it.

Late for school and no time to pack lunch, a student pulls up at the drive-thru and orders the greasiest, cheesiest burger on the fast-food menu and eats it on the way to class.

“Take that, diabetes,” he thinks to himself.

The “Obesity Paradox” puzzled researchers a few years back with a startling discovery that patients of a normal weight suffering with diabetes are twice as likely to die from it than those who are over-weight or obese.

Essentially it’s sending the mes-sage that if you have the extra pounds, diabetes will pose a small-er threat.

In a nation where more than one-third of adults are obese, ac-cording to a survey done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2009-2010, is this really the mentality we want in people’s minds?

The U.S. is a nation that is con-stantly on the move, turning to fast food and dollar menus when short on time. Alone, the U.S. has

the highest number of McDon-ald’s locations in the world with approximately 12,804 across the country. At a distant second, we have Japan with 3,598 locations—almost 10,000 fewer than the U.S.

The studies shown in the New York Times article “In ‘Obesity Paradox,’ Thinner May Mean Sicker” are mostly applied to those who already suffer from diseases.

While there are many cases where obesity is shown to lead to fewer deaths, there has not been much evidence to explain why. There are only theories.

But the facts are that exercise and eating right is good for you. Moderation of eating habits, cut-ting back on unhealthy foods and exercise in general is the key.

Now I’m not saying to count every calorie and eat nothing but fruits and veggies, but in a nation where we throw bacon on every-thing and call it fine dining, is getting fat just to decrease your chances of dying from a disease you got from eating unhealthy in the first place, something that will really put you to sleep at night?

What sort of example are we

setting for future generations if we simply give up and chow down because of a handful of statistics?

While there are multiple stud-ies that show being overweight can lead to a decrease in illness, being fit and exercising is the preferred of the two choices.

“Maintaining fitness is good and maintaining low weight is good,” said Dr. Carl Lavie, Ph.D., medi-cal director of cardiac rehabilita-tion and prevention at John Och-ner Heart and Vascular Institute in New Orleans in the previously mentioned New York Times article.

“If you had to go off one, it looks like it’s more important to maintain your fitness than your leanness,” Lavie said. “Fitness looks a little bit more protective.”

Lavie was among the first to docu-ment the “Obesity Paradox” in 2002.

In the long run, can overeating

and obesity really save one from death and disease, or can a pro-ductive life of moderate to regular exercise and healthy dieting be a more sane and safe approach?

Students juggle academics, part-time jobs, family and other activities and barely find enough time to get the proper amount of sleep, much less eat healthy.

Though it can be hard for stu-dents to maintain a balanced diet and spare time for exercise, maybe they can take the time to add a few things here and there to their daily routine. These changes are noth-ing life-altering, just baby steps.

Park a little further and walk to class, go up the stairs instead of taking the elevator, add a fruits or vegetables into your meal and eat a bit less burger and fries each day.

But sadly, pizza toppings don’t count as veggies.

Culture brought to CSUF by ensemble

Divan Consort, a Los Angeles based ensemble founded by a Cal State Fullerton faculty member, will be performing Thursday Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. in the Meng Concert Hall.

Divan Consort was founded in 2009 by Turkish pianist Füreya Ünal. The group originally consisted of set instruments including flute, clarinet, violin, cello and of course piano.

According to Ünal they have performed with many other in-struments as well, including voice. Since 2011, Portuguese clarinetist and founding member Virginia Figueiredo has been a co-artistic director along with Ünal.

Ünal, who is also a faculty mem-ber in the music department, was born in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1975.

She has been playing piano since she was three and half years old, though her formal training did not begin until she was five. She created Divan Consort to be able to play her favorite musical genres.

“I wanted to combine my two passions, chamber music and con-temporary music,” said Ünal.

Additionally, the ensemble’s Turkish name is meant to reflect Ünal’s heritage.

“The name Divan comes from the name of the highest council in Otto-man Empire,” Ünal said.

As young as the ensemble is, Di-van Consort already has memorable experiences and honors. The group recorded music for BAAL, the the-atre play by Bertolt Brecht, for The Sacred Fools Theater Company.

Divan Consort has also per-formed at the Previews Concert Se-ries in Manhattan Beach, The Nixon Library, and Live at the Lounge in Hermosa Beach as a winner of the Beverly Hills Auditions.

Along with many concerts in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas, Divan Consort has performed all around the globe including the home countries of the ensemble’s founding members, Portugal and Turkey.

For Ünal, the latter country holds special memories for her in terms of

the ensemble’s performances. The concert in Bursa, Turkey that

took place in December 2010 was special to Ünal. The Divan Consort toured Turkey that month and gave four concerts in three cities.

“The Bursa concert was part of a big festival with the help of the Bursa Philharmonic Society and Nar Ceramics Group,” Ünal said. “The festival committee were very hospi-table. We had a great time, and the concert was a big success.”

According to Ünal, those concerts were part of the Istanbul Cultural Capital of Europe project.

They were in memory of the first ceramics artist of the Turkish Repub-lic, Füreya Koral, whom Ünal says is her namesake. Koral’s 100th birth-day would have been in 2010.

The most memorable perfor-mance for Ünal, however, was one that occurred in Estoril, Portugal.

It was the first concert they per-formed on their first European tour. The Divan Consort was part of the 36th Estoril International Music Festival.

“It was our first concert out of the U.S. as a group and was very successful. The concert was ex-tremely well received,” Ünal said. “It was recorded and is still played on classical music radio stations in Portugal and Spain.”

Yet despite all the travels and memorable performances in other beautiful countries, Ünal enjoys performing right here at CSUF.

“Since I am faculty at CSUF, it’s always a joy to play there,” Ünal said. “My students get an opportunity to not only see me in the classroom, but to see me onstage doing what I do best. It’s very inspiring for me.”

Students are given the chance to see their professor in action, prac-ticing her craft as she urges them to practice theirs.

On Thursday, Divan Consort will be performing along with Tom Peters, Maksim Velitchkin, Mira Khomik and Yuri Inoo. Some of the pieces they perform will be on their debut CD, which will be released in 2013. The show will be in Meng Concert Hall in Clayes Performing Arts Center at 8 p.m.

Turkish pianist Füreya Ünal founded the group in 2009. They have since performed in Portugal, Spain and Istanbul, the capital of Turkey.

THEATRE: Living a hard life“Part of the message has to be that hu-

mor can assist so much in a crazy life. But the characters themselves are not trying to be humorous, that’s not their goal,” said Amick. “I think Durang’s goal is to introduce humor into a life that people take way too seriously.”

Gottselig added that the whole mes-sage of the play is that sometimes kids get dealt unbelieveable cards in life. In this case it was parents that were crazy.

“Eventually you have to take the reins of your life yourself,” Gottselig said. “You can have a rough start but once you become an adult, it’s your decision to change.”

The themes and humor of Baby with the Bathwater have been noted by crit-

ics nationwide. The play was written in 1983, at a time when many considered it to be pushing boundaries. Baby with the Bathwater made an impact and signified the importance of theater.

“Theatre is so important because so many playwrights are ahead of their time,” Gottselig said.

Amick added that the themes layered throughout the play are timeless.

“I think the struggles and the relation-ships and who the people are, you find every day in reality like they would have in the ‘80s,” Amick said.

The first show premiers at Clayes Per-forming Arts Center in Hallberg Theatre at 8 p.m. Friday. Attendees can purchase tickets at the Dwight Richard Odle Box Office located at the southwest corner of the center.

DOMINIQUE ROCKERDaily Titan

A fan base that spans interna-tionally, Eduardo Delgado has had his fair share of audiences.

Longtime fans of the musician and newcomers will get the chance to hear Delgado perform on Sun-day at his concert at the Clayes Performing Arts Center in Meng Concert Hall.

Delgado’s talent and love for the piano has left him in high demand throughout his career.

He has played in many capital cities through Europe, Asia, North America and South America.

His mother, who was a piano teacher, was an early influence in Delgado’s life.

“I would listen to a lot of mu-sic as a child and when my mother had students who would play wrong notes, I was 3 or 4 years old, and I would say to the chil-dren ‘You’re playing the wrong notes,’” said Delgado.

Growing up in Argentina, Del-gado cited Wilhelm Kempff , Wil-helm Backhaus, Dinu Lipatti and Maria Tipo as just a few of his early influences.

When Delgado was 19, he left his home country to strengthen his skill and passion for music.

It was around this time that he won a scholarship and began

studying in Italy. He was also of-fered a scholarship to study in New York.

“As with the life of every artist, we have to leave the nest of our teachers and become ourselves,” Delgado said.

The pianist has taught music at Cal State Fullerton and has lived in the area since 1996. Delgado said he has wonderful students and colleagues that are all down to earth.

Even for a professional that has performed in the field of pianism for a long time, Delgado still rec-ognizes the nervousness when he steps on stage.

“I think an artist always gets nervous,” Delgado said. “I consid-er myself to be very perfectionist, I always want to deliver the best technical abilities I have.”

But Delgado’s main goal is to ex-press his music the best that he can.

“To me music is an expression of what the composer created and it’s our job to recreate what the composer wrote,” Delgado said.

The critics have also been some-thing that Delgado has learned to deal with.

Delgado said at this part in his life, critics do not bother him. He added that anybody can comment or give an opinion on what music should be.

“Those people that criticize, they don’t really know what is be-hind the process that is before we go on stage,” Delgado said. “It’s always very easy to criticize or put

down someone.”Everybody has their own possibil-

ities and their own limitations said Delgado. His main point was listen-ers should be respectful and not so cynical of other people’s work.

Delgado believes that today’s society is much more accepting.

He said that if people want to be strict, then the only thing they should be strict about is themselves and producing music in their lives to the best of their abilities.

His philosophical words only solidify why he has become so suc-cessful in his career.

Delgado has also used his tal-

ents for charitable causes.He recorded a CD to help raise

funds for victims of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, a country he lived and taught in for nearly seven years.

Delgado also set up a scholarship in 1998 for students to study piano.

The fund was named after the late pianist, Alicia de Larrocha. Delgado considered her a dear friend and will dedicate his up-coming performance to her.

Works by Bach, Mozart, Chopin and Argentine composers will be included in Delgado’s performance that starts at 4 p.m. Sunday.

Eduardo Delgado grew up in Argentina where he was first influenced by his mother, a piano teacher, who brought him to her music classes.

On Wednesday from noon to 1 p.m. Becker Amphitheater will host The Memorials, a band with a genre that is unlike any other that has performed at Cal State Fullerton this semester.

The progressive rock, psychedelic soul and fusion band consists of Viveca Hawkins (vo-cals) and Thomas Pridgen (drums), who formed the band in November 2009.

“We are walking memorials,” said Hawkins. “Living breathing monuments to a sound that might be forgotten or a sound to be remembered.”

Before Pridgen formed The Memorials, he was a part of the rock band, The Mars Volta. His eagerness to express himself to his fullest extent led him to form his own band.

“I don’t know what void I was trying to fill in music,” said Pridgen. “I think the music filled up a void me.”

The Memorials released their latest album, Delirium, on June 5 this year. Hawkins described the record as polished and more refined.

“This record inside and out, visually, mu-sically and lyrically shows that we are weird,” Hawkins said. “We are trained and able to play a variety of styles.”

Hawkins writes the lyrics for the songs using life as her inspiration.

The band’s first album, The Memorials, was released on Feb. 14. Hawkins said the first re-cord was rushed and she was pressed for time to write lyrics.

“I had never made this type of music before so I was just popping songs out with no vision or desire for cohesion,” Hawkins said. “This time we really tried to make sure that we put a little more order in all of it.”

According to Hawkins, Delirium has a dream, nightmare and insomnia theme. With

songs like “Dream,” “Delirium” and “Gone” the theme is twisted throughout the album.

Hawkins’ mother, who sings gospel and jazz, influenced her when she was a little girl. The lead singer would attend class with her mother who was studying for her associates’ degree in music.

“I don’t try to emulate other artists. My voice alone sets me apart,” Hawkins said.

Towards the end of October, The Memorials will tour throughout Europe including Germa-ny, France and Portugal. This is the first Euro-pean tour for the band.

“We feel like it’s going to be a blast,” Prid-gen said. “We’re so stoked to be able to play in places people dream of going.”

For now, the band is going to take their time and tour. Beginning in January and February, The Memorials will get back into the studio

and start recording. In addition to attending the Wednesday con-

cert at the Becker, listeners can find The Me-morials on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Eyegore Awards terrorize the night

Universal Studios Hollywood kicked off Halloween Horror Nights on Friday with the an-nual Eyegore Awards ceremony.

Top filmmakers, actors and actresses in the horror genre are honored at the Eyegore Awards.

Legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper was a part of this year’s honor-ees. Cooper helped bring to life his own new maze, Alice Cooper Goes to Hell 3D, at the annual event.

Other stars included Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Guill-ermo del Toro, who is known for the Hellboy films and Pan’s Labyrinth.

Kate del Castillo, who will be guest starring in an episode of Grimm and Halloween Horror Nights creative director, John Murdy, also attended. McKenzie Westmore, host of SyFy’s show FaceOff, hosted the Eyegore Awards.

Wilmer Valderrama, best known for his role as Fez from That 70’s Show, and LA Clippers basketball player, Caron Butler, also made guest appearances.

Halloween Horror Nights welcomed the sickest minds in horror to immerse guests in the living, breathing, three-dimen-sional world of the most popular and terrifying creatures.

The event is evolving just like the horror genre, said Murdy.

“This year we get to work with

television shows like AMC’s The Walking Dead,” said Murdy. “We get to do video games for the first time working with Silent Hill.”

Halloween Horror Nights has the return maze La Llorona: Cazadora de Ninos (Weeping Woman: Child Hunter).

The maze was inspired by the chilling Mexican and Latin American legend that has terri-fied children for centuries.

“We get to do the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a mov-ie that inspired countless horror movies in the ‘70s,” Murdy said.

Del Castillo encouraged guests to attend the La Llorona maze to promote Grimm’s Hal-loween episode, “La llorona,” which will have its debut on Oct. 26.

“It is already filmed and done, so it will come out just in time for Halloween,” said Del Cas-tillo.

Murdy said that every single year he feels like he has to top himself from the year before.

“It doesn’t matter how suc-cessful we were the previous year, we always have to top our-selves and that’s the way we treat the event,” Murdy said. “Every year we go into it we think, okay that was cool what can we do now.”

Murdy’s inspiration comes from him growing up a huge fan of horror movies and creating haunted houses in his parent’s garage when he was 10-years-old.

“I guess I never grew up. I still do it today just at a bigger level,” Murdy said.

Walking Alice Cooper through his own attraction was the most exciting part for Mur-dy.

Murdy said Cooper is his childhood hero and one of the main inspirations for his career choice.

Butler and his family hoped to get a little frightened out of Murdy’s Halloween Horror Nights.

“We want to get scared a little bit. I got my eight-year-old with me today,” said Butler. “She gets scared easily.”

Valderrama attended the event to see his favorite horror characters come to life.

“I don’t really get scared but I get excited when I see my friends petrified,” said Valder-rama. “That’s the stuff I enjoy the most about coming here.”

Halloween Horror Nights starts at 7 p.m. on 19 selected nights through Halloween. Closing hours vary by night.

The biggest story in the NFL isn’t the meteoric rise of rookie Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III. It isn’t the rough 0-3 start of perennial contenders the New Or-leans Saints. It’s not even the soap opera that involves last year’s phenomenon Tim Tebow and his new team, The New York Jets. The biggest story has been the in-competence of the replacement referees.

Since the preseason, I’ve heard of the on-going battle between the referees union and the NFL itself regarding pay and pensions. I didn’t think much of it as it was just another labor dispute and it seems like something like this happens every couple of months; the NBA lockout and current NHL lockout for example. Especially con-sidering that it only had to do with referees and play would not be affected, I brushed it off.

Also, I wasn’t receptive to the various complaints that I’ve heard from players, coaches, columnists, and sports show hosts about the refereeing because people have complained about referees affecting the games since I can remember. I felt like it was much to do about nothing.

I felt that way until the events of this past weekend.What transpired on the gridiron in Week 3 has turned

my apathy on the matter to a bitter distaste for these re-placement referees. There are only 16 games in a season and every yard counts, so a blown call could affect an entire teams’ season, or even worse, a player’s safety.

With the officials gone, the league is missing over 1,500 years of collective NFL experience.

The end of the Monday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks will go down as one of the most infamous games that has ever hit the sports world. A botched call at the end of the game not only hurt the Packers record, but was also a black eye for the sport.

Social media went into a frenzy with various status updates and tweets complaining about the conclusion to that game. Former players and coaches turned on-air an-alysts expressed their disdain for the NFL allowing these referees to continue to call these games. It seems as if this referee situation has finally reached its tipping point.

In addition to blown calls affecting teams wins and

losses, it also has a much more serious effect on player safety. Oakland Raiders wide-receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was knocked unconscious in a helmet-to-chin hit that resulted in a concussion, neck sprain, and overnight stay in a hospital. The play resulted in no whistle or pen-alty by the officials on-field.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Kevin Ogletree could have tore an ACL due to a referees negligence in a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ogletree had ap-parently stepped out of bounds and as a result the of-ficial usually throws his hat onto the field as a sign that the player is an ineligible receiver. However, the official tossed it right in the path of Ogletree’s route and he slipped on it in the end zone. It may sound ridiculous, but stranger things have happened on the field than someone tearing an ACL by tripping on a hat.

The NFL has made strides in recent years in trying to secure players’ safety and they should be applauded for their efforts. Improvements like developing new tech-nology for helmets, precautionary measures to treat con-cussions, and limiting helmet-to-helmet hits are all steps in the right direction. They even came down harshly on New Orleans Saints players and coaches involved in pay-ing “bounties” to their players for intentionally harming opposing players.

Due to the NFL setting a standard of safety for its players, shouldn’t having the best possible overseers of the game take priority in the list of issues the NFL needs to get resolved? Isn’t it a bit hypocritical to put out the message of caution for players safety when they aren’t even putting the best personnel out there to prevent any-thing catastrophic from happening to their athletes?

The NFL Players Association disclosed an open letter to team owners on Sunday, asking for an end to the lock-out and also hinting that it’s a violation of the contract between the players and the league. They also noted a lack of a safe working environment with replacement referees officiating the games.

Now, if the big, strong, fast, and tough players of the NFL are concerned with safety due to inept of-ficiating, then the heads in the NFL are just going to have to listen.

NFL’s inadequate replacement

Looking for a hot start to their season, the Cal State Fullerton women’s golf team hoped for a strong showing in the 2012 Cou-gar Cup hosted by Washington State at the Palouse Ridge Golf Course in Pullman, Wash. The Titans played well and came out with a respectable fourth place fin-ish in the two day tournament.

CSUF sophomore Seri Lee shot a 1-over-par 145 to finish in a tie for fifth and helped the Titans to fourth place after day one. Lee played brilliantly the first of two rounds on Monday, shooting a 1-under-par 71. She was tied with three other players for fifth place, just one shot off the lead shared by Gonzaga University’s Victoria Fall-gren and Raychelle Santos, Wash-ington State’s Kristen Rue, and UC Berkeley’s Jaqueline Williams.

Titan sophomore Makayla Mier, a transfer student who played her freshman season at Florida Inter-national University, also finished day one in the top 20 in her debut as a Titan. She finished with a four over par 148 to tie for 14th.

Titan senior Taylor Fowler fin-ished day one in a tie for 24th (seven over par 151), sophomore Tisha Alyn Abrea stood in a tie for 36th (10 over par 154), and senior Deidre Crabtree was in a tie for 40th (11 over par 155).

Day two saw the Titans consis-tent play continue, with Lee play-ing exceptionally. She shot a one under par 71 on Tuesday to finish in a three-way tie for second place and lead the Titans to a fourth place

finish overall at the Cougar Cup. With a three-round total of

892, 28 over par, CSUF finished with its lowest team score since the program was reinstated in 2009.

The Titans finished just nine strokes behind the host Washing-ton State Cougars for third place.

UC Berkeley, the team leader after day one, led from start to finish for the championship with a 13 over par 877. Second place Gonzaga finished with an 18 over par, 882.

Lee finished at even par for the tournament with a career best 216 over all three rounds, finish-ing four shots behind Washington State’s Kristen Rue, who shot a four under par 212 to take home individual honors. The career best second place finish topped Lee’s previous best at the Lexus Classic in Fresno, Calif. on March 12-13 last season when she tied for sixth place with a total of 225.

Mier also continued her fantas-tic play, shooting a final day 76 to finish in a tie for 16th with an 8 over par 224.

While Lee and Mier played great, the biggest mover on day two for the Titans was Abrea. She climbed 14 spots in the standings after day one, shooting a one over par 73 on Tuesday which helped her move up into a tie for 22nd place overall with an 11 over par 227. She improved from a first round 80 by shooting three over par in the final two rounds. Fowl-er also finished 11 over par for the tournament.

The Titans will now play in the Rose City Challenge hosted by Portland State at the Langdon Farms Club in Aurora, Ore. on Oct. 1-2.

Hockey helps Hainey find balance in his hectic life.

“The hockey helps me find a good bal-ance because I’m always so stressed out about school, so it helps out with that. It’s a good time to get away from the books,” Hainey said.

“He’s a very goal-oriented person. He knows how to manage his time,” Webb said. “He’s involved with more than enough, and he is able to balance it so well and still keep his grades up really high.”

Hainey’s intrinsic motivation, spirit, and per-sonality make him a unique student-athlete.

“He is a very reserved, intelligent man. He’s a really genuine guy,” Thomas said.

Hainey’s humility is refreshing in a world where an athlete’s ego can be bigger than his play.

“I’m not one to talk about myself or see myself as the greatest,” Hainey said. “I just like helping out and being involved.”

Hainey’s friends and teammates recog-nize that his dedication to school, hockey and his fraternity make him different from other student athletes. He is not just a stu-dent-athlete; he is a scholar-athlete.

“He takes a lot of pride in his school-work and his athletics,” Thomas said. “He’s a gentleman, as well. He’s just really well-rounded. He’s not just all into sports. He is very into his schoolwork. He’s doing a great job.”

Hockey is still Hainey’s passion and has been for most of his life; he has been play-ing hockey since he was six years old.

“My dad was a big hockey phenom back in the day, so he wanted me to play,” Hain-ey said why he chose hockey as his primary sport. “As soon as I was able to walk and run around, my dad put skates on me.”

He originally played defense, but was moved to forward last season and expects to play forward again this season.

“He is a big set-up man on the ice. He also has a knack for scoring when it counts,” Webb said of his teammate’s style of play.

To players like Hainey, hockey is more than just a game as players learn invaluable lessons.

“Hockey has definitely helped me with team building skills. I’ve picked up on mo-tivating people to do certain things,” Hain-

ey said of the game’s impact on his life. “I’ve learned how to build good friend-ships, too.”

Hockey has also aided Hainey develop into a talented and skilled leader both on and off the ice.

“In a big game last year, it was a really close game and he comes down on a break-away and buries the puck,” Webb said. “He’s the kind of guy who if he gets the puck at the right time in the right situation he will put it in the net.”

As Hainey embarks on his final year of college, he adds that, “I’m going to miss playing competitive hockey. It will be the

last time I’m playing competitive hockey. I’m going to miss the friendships the most.”

After Hainey graduates this spring, he plans to go to graduate school to further his study in engineering. His impact on the hockey team will not be forgotten as he’s left too big of a mark for that to happen.

“He is one of the most dedicated people I’ve seen especially for his team,” Webb said on Hainey’s commitment to the team. “The time he puts in it, the care he has for it, and even the people on the team.

Hainey’s hard work and effort will lead to positive results as he embarks on his life after CSUF.
