His friends said Kevin La always had a smile on his face. It didn’t matter how tired he was; he always had a positive attitude. He was always friendly, and even if he didn’t know you, he always started a conversation. Kevin La died Nov. 11, at the age of 19. “He was that guy that al- ways tried to be your friend no matter what,” said Arthur Loh, 20, La’s ‘big brother’ in the Association of Chinese Students. “Even if you had a bad history or maybe you are not liked by certain people, he always tried to put in the effort—no matter who you were.” La was hiking near Hermit Falls in Angeles National For- est with 12 other students. He died after jumping from rocks into a pool of water with friends, according to the Los Angeles Times. La was the sixth person to jump. His friends pulled La out of the water after he appeared unconscious when he sur- faced. Born on Dec. 4, 1993, La grew up in the San Gabriel Valley, and attended Mark Keppel High School in Alham- bra, Calif. He was an active member of Key Club Interna- tional, a high school organiza- tion dedicated to community service, sponsored by Kiwanis International. At Cal State Fullerton he was a member of Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity as well as the Association of Chi- nese Students. Dede Do, 21, La’s motherly figure in ACS, remembers that even though she was his “mom,” it was La who would check up on her to make sure she was doing okay. Do felt helpless the day La died. “I think I was really hurt, just because I couldn’t protect him,” she said. “It was some- thing out of my control, I felt like maybe if I called him that day, maybe he wouldn’t decide to just go diving.” Loh and Do were eat- ing dinner with their closest friends—a dinner that La had been invited to—when Loh found out what had happened to La through a phone call from a close friend. “Initially … it’s like you heard news that you don’t want to believe,” Loh said. His Alpha Phi Omega fami- ly also remembers the amount of energy he channeled every day. In a candlelight vigil held on Monday, many recalled the influence La had on their lives. “We would pick on each other, but then he would be protective of me,” said Heidi Ann Ignacio, 23, a friend of La and member of Alpha Phi Omega. “We had like a broth- er and sister relationship.” In a different time zone, the Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team finished with the same result. The Titans continued their winless 2013- 14 season, losing to the Univer- sity of Albany 71-49 and drop- ping their overall record to 0-3. With the win, the Great Danes are still undefeated on the season as they improve to 4-0. The Titans were competi- tive early on with the back-to- back America East Conference champions, tying the game 10-10 after six minutes into the first half. But after that point, the tough Great Danes took control of the game and never looked back as they won the game by 22 points. The 22-point loss marked the larg- est margin of defeat for the Ti- tans this season. The Titans continued to struggle on the offensive end, shooting a dreadful 29.5 per- cent from the field. After trail- ing the Great Danes for most of the game, the Titans tried to catch up. They shot 30 threes, over twice as many three- pointers as their opponent, but only made six of them, or 20 percent. Turnovers didn’t really fac- tor into this loss as they have in the first pair of matches for the Titans, as they matched the Great Danes with 11 for the game. It was tough interior offense that really hurt the Titans in the game. The Great Danes dominated the Titans inside the paint, scoring at an effi- cient 52.8 field-goal percent- age. With their high-percent- age shooting strategy working, the Great Danes didn’t focus on the three-pointer, shooting 30.8 percent from beyond the arc. For the Great Danes, start- ing forward Shereesha Rich- ards continued her stellar sea- son, where she is leading her team in scoring, rebounds and total field goal percentage with 22 points, 12 rebounds and 67 percent from the field.

WHAT’S
The third and final candidate for Cal State Fullerton’s vice president for administration and finance/chief financial offi-
cer position presented his quali-fications to a room full of uni-versity administrators at Steven G. Mihaylo Hall on Wednesday.
Danny C. Kim, current asso-ciate vice chancellor and chief financial administrative offi-cer at UC Riverside, identified his goals for the CSUF campus if appointed to the position based on peer research about the campus.
“I don’t want you to think that I know everything about the campus already,” Kim said in his opening statements.

Next to the masks, a bright golden sun adorns a blue, white and red wall repre-senting the Philippines’ flag. An explana-tion of the symbolism in the flag accom-panies a descriptive history of the nation.
On a brightly painted yellow and red mask, licks of red f lames engulf the cheeks and eyebrows. A drawn figure delivers a front kick to the chin of another atop a bright red nose—an algebra equation is written on the forehead.
A dollar bill and an open book are also illustrated upon the mask.
“People see me as a wealthy and gen-erous individual who is smart but intim-

dents in Professor Carol Ojeda-Kim-brough’s Asian American Creative Ex-pressions class.
Ojeda-Kimbrough’s class focuses on Filipino American life as portrayed through novels, short stories, plays, po-etry, film, music, painting, dance and other expressive forms.

HIPs include collaborative projects, community-based learning, diversity/global learning experiences and co-curricular activities.
Since the exhibit is run en-tirely by students, it was ini-tially funded by students.
A few students were se-lected to be the marketing team. The team then created a donation page online to en-courage people to help them put together the exhibit f i-nancially.
The class decided the re-mainder of the funds would go toward a charity to benefit the Philippines, which was re-cently hit by Typhoon Haiyan.
One mask on display was pale blue f lowing into red with intricate white, lace-like designs.
The description under it read, “I do not depict myself as solely Asian, Filipino or
American; I practice differ-ent aspects of each culture. My melding of cultures is sim-ply my foundation: I am free to branch out, to absorb new ideas, to create my own per-sonalized culture.”
Abigail Yarcia, 21, a com-municative disorders major, is one of the students in the Asian American Creative Ex-pressions class who made a mask for display in the ex-hibit.
“Although the description below the mask doesn’t appro-priately explain the mask, it represents my ‘outer mask’ or what everyone sees and what I let them see,” Yarcia said.
She said not everyone in the class is Filipino-American, so it was “nice to share this ex-perience with them and learn Filipino history and culture together.”
The mask exhibit is on dis-play until Dec. 31, and can be viewed during regular library hours.
EXPRESSIONContinued from PAGE 1
Sora Park Tanjasiri, pro-fessor of health science, de-livered the Outstanding Pro-fessor Lecture on Wednesday as this year’s recipient of the Outstanding Professor Award.
Tanjasiri spoke on “achiev-ing health equity through community-based participa-tory research.”
“Her students consis-tently rate her as one of the best teachers in their col-lege experience,” Cal State Fullerton President Mildred García said. “Through her mentoring and guidance, she helps students reach their dreams.”
Tanjasiri focused on three main goals: collaboration, community-based partici-patory research (CBPR) and achieving health equity.
After beginning her stud-ies as a biochemistry under-graduate, Tanjasiri realized that medicine was not for her, and she directed her studies toward public health.
“Public health was my op-portunity to combine a love of scientific discovery with a passion for impasse in popu-lations,” Tanjasiri said.
After getting her master’s in public health, Tanjasiri started working in a non-profit clinic in the Kore-atown neighborhood in Los Angeles. There, she began to implement public health practices like tobacco educa-tion and cessation, prenatal
education and sexual disease prevention.
She witnessed the collabo-ration of three small clinics, which worked together to form a new clinic that served the health care needs of Asian and Pacific Islanders.
Tanjasiri witnessed thou-sands of Korean businesses being closed, vandalized and burned during the Los Angeles riots in 1992.
“I had a hard lesson about the invisibility of our popula-tion,” Tanjasiri said. “I saw first hand how Asian Pacific Islanders can get easily forgot-ten.”
Tanjasiri now focuses her research on cancer, particu-larly in the Asian and Pacific Islander community.
She said the California De-partment of Health Services shows a low rate of lung cancer in Asians and Pacific Islanders compared to other ethnic mi-norities.
As a result, Tanjasiri said this particular race of people is underserved and disadvan-taged.
“Part of the reason why we’re invisible is because this data is difficult,” Tanjasiri said.
Health disparities continue to persist because of a break-down in cancer research. The way to bridge the gap and eliminate health disparities is through collaboration, Tanja-siri said.
“We need the people who come from the (invisible) pop-ulations to come and tell us what we are missing,” Tanja-siri said.
Tanjasiri serves as mul-tiple principal investigator for Weaving an Islander Net-work for Cancer Awareness Research and Training (WIN-
CART)—an organization that aims to promote healthy Pacif-ic Islander communities and reduce cancer health dispari-ties.
The organization serves the Pacific Islander population in Southern California in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego counties.
In 2010, WINCART collab-orated with St. Joseph’s Medi-cal Center, hiring the first Asian Pacific Islander health navigator at the hospital.
To promote health and physical activity among Pacific Islanders, WINCART created a 10-minute DVD called Let’s
Move! The video promotes dancing and exercising at the same time.
“We’ve done a small pilot test that has some encourag-ing results regarding a trend towards increased physical ac-tivity frequency and duration,” Tanjasiri said.
Although Tanjasiri is mak-ing progress in the area of re-search, more still needs to be done, she said.
“We need to be ensuring that people are actually bene-fiting,” Tanjasiri said. “And the benefits are a long and healthy life.”
Tanjasiri said it is impor-
tant to find the communities that are most disadvantaged and engage in those collabo-rations.
Mohammed Aftab, vice president of Student Health Professions Association, said Tanjasiri is his favorite profes-sor of his academic career.
“She’s very humble, very wel-coming,” Aftab, 22, said. “No other class would have made me a better doctor.”
As part of the Outstanding Professor Award, Tanjasiri will re-ceive a cash award, will be recog-nized at the Honors Convocation, and will lead the faculty during commencement ceremonies.

Ignacio wants people to re-member La’s trademark smile, remembering him in the best way possible.
“Kevin is an amazing guy, I am still in denial, but it’s cra-zy,” she said.
His “big sister” in the fra-ternity, Janny Yoon, 24, rec-ollected on how selfless of an individual La was.
“I want him to be remem-bered as he is a very confident guy, always smiles, always takes care of others before himself,” she said. “He always (wanted) to make sure every-one’s okay before himself, he always (made) sure everyone’s doing well, he (was) always making everyone smile.”
La is memorialized by his friends and family, including his mother Soe Yu, the benefi-ciary of a fundraiser used to help cover funeral expenses on GiveItForward.com.
Ignacio said La wouldn’t want his family and friends to be sad. She said she believes he is looking down on them.
“I think if you knew him then you were blessed to know a soul like his, and if you didn’t I wish you would be blessed enough to know someone who is kind and generous and pas-sionate and loving like him,” she said.

In the United States, 40 per-cent of food made or purchased goes uneaten. That is equiva-lent to $165 billion each year, according to the National Re-source Defense Council. That amounts to 20 pounds of food per person per month.
The Cal State Fullerton Aux-iliary Services Corporation (ASC), which manages campus dining, donates food from the Nutwood Café, Langsdorf Hall Express and the Titan Student Union food court to a local women’s shelter in an effort to help mitigate the growing issue of uneaten food.
Donated food can help feed many families that are less for-tunate, and during the holiday season it is especially helpful.
Food donated from campus restaurants feeds about three to four families per week, said Chris Quintana, office admin-istrator of the women’s shelter.
In April 2009, the food do-nation program was started through ASC to donate left-overs to a local women’s shelter. The shelter then comes to pick up food every Friday.
The amount and type of food varies from extra lettuce, to-matoes and onions for dress-ing hamburgers to complete, hot meals from the TSU food court. There is usually plenty of bread, which helps to feed the 50 women and children that live in the shelter.
Tony Lynch, the director of campus dining, said restau-rants on campus do not typi-cally overproduce and there are not many leftovers, but he de-cides where the food is distrib-uted and what organizations will receive the donated food.
“We have something for them to eat, not just canned goods or
dry food that we have here,” Quintana said. “They can take some of the stuff that they bring and heat it up.”
The quantity of food donated to the shelter is usually consis-tent, and occasionally, when there are catered events, the shelter receives more food.
“Each week varies on the donation,” said Crystal Wooldridge, marketing man-ager of campus dining for ASC.
The university does not place any restrictions on the donated food. However, there are state codes and federal regulations in place to protect the compa-nies and organizations that do-nate extra food from being sued or having any liability.
The California Health and Safety Code states “any food facility may donate food to a food bank or to any other non-profit charitable organization for distribution to persons free of charge,” but some compa-nies in California are worried that they can still be held liable for donated food that may get someone sick.
There are gray areas in the law regarding food donation. But this usually does not deter charitable groups and organi-zations from donating much-needed food to food banks and women’s shelters.
Almost six million tons of food is thrown away each year in California, which would fill the Staples Center 35 times over, according to California Watch.
As technology advances, there are new methods being used to track how much food is wasted and how much food to produce each day.
Overproducing is one of the key causes that leads to leftover food, and without a method to curb it in place, it contributes to the nearly 22 million tons of food wasted in the United States each year, according to
Cal Recycle. To avoid overproduction, the
Gastronome uses food produc-tion software to approximate how many students will eat at the Gastronome that day.
With food production soft-ware that can predict how much food to make, the Gastronome only throws away five to 10 pounds of food each day, said Samantha Meneses, the events coordinator of the Gastronome.
The Gastronome does not donate any of their food to shel-ters because they have a small amount of leftovers. However, they do repurpose some of the leftovers for the next day’s menu.
They also allow some of their staff to eat what is left over and then donate what is not suit-able for human consumption to the Arboretum for composting.
“If we didn’t have such tight controls on food production and significant amounts of leftover food were available, we
would look into a local hunger relief agency,” Meneses said.
Some local school districts have been working to get ap-proval for the school cafeterias to donate the extra food after lunch has been served.
The Los Angeles Unified School District has approved a program that allows their schools to donate leftover caf-eteria food to needy families. School districts that do not participate in a charitable feed-ing program throw all leftovers in the trash or into a garbage disposal.
Food donation programs can keep usable food out of the waste stream, reduce disposal costs and feed hungry families in the community, according to Cal Recycle.
ASC also started a program called “loose change.” The pro-gram involved students donat-ing their leftover change, which was then donated equally among OC Food Bank, Second
Harvest Food Bank and the women’s shelter in Fullerton.
From April 2009 to April 2011, the program raised over $5,800. When it ended, ASC continued the food donation program at the women’s shelter.

He adapted his skills in this area while working in his first higher education position as a senior budget analyst in the Office of Academic Planning and Budget at UCLA. This po-sition required him to create planning models to support campus budget reduction and allocation strategies.
“I’ve always believed as a CFO you have to stay ahead of the curve,” Kim said.
He considers his knowledge in this area to be an important aspect of his background.
Kim outlined his expertise and related them to the re-sponsibilities that he current-ly takes on in his position at UCR.
The first of these, Kim said, is undergraduate expertise, which is characterized by ad-missions and student experi-ence and success.
Institutional effectiveness was a point that he especially stressed in this category of ex-pertise.
Kim defined institutional
effectiveness as processes for documenting institutional performance, including gradu-ation rates, student success and learning outcomes. These are all areas that have been outlined in the university’s strategic plan.
If appointed to this role, he hopes to implement institu-tional effectiveness as a bot-tom-line goal for every admin-istrator.
He also hopes to clarify what exactly institutional effective-ness means and understand how it connects to institution-al performance.
“It is really important that universities continue to make progress in improving institu-tional performance,” Kim said.
In his current position at UCR, Kim focuses on under-graduate students through managing the Student Affairs Institutional Research office, which looks at student demo-graphics and student success.
The institute conducts insti-tutional studies to better un-derstand student needs.
“Students are one of our pri-mary customers,” Kim said.
“I don’t know how you can re-ally be an effective leader of an organization if you don’t fully understand your customers.”
Kim’s emphasis on student success springs from his back-ground as a full-time high school teacher and part-time community college instructor, which is where his career be-gan after his graduation from UCLA.
The second area of exper-tise he highlighted was his experience in the realm of ad-ministration.
Kim referenced his leader-ship experience in developing models that would show how the university would expand the campus during a time of major budget reduction at UCR.
During this time, UCR saw its most rigorous plan of action to increase enrollment among all UCs at the time.
His final point of exper-tise mentioned was his back-ground as a CFO, dealing with fund management and budget development.

For over a decade, the United States has gone to great lengths to prevent Iran from develop-ing its own nuclear power in-frastructure, fearing they may use such a program to develop nuclear weapons.
The current negotiations re-garding Iran’s nuclear program is a positive and productive step forward. Iran should be allowed to have a peaceful nuclear en-ergy program.
At the same time, the United States should tread with cau-tion and ensure that any agree-ment is in the best interest to the security of the nation.
The issue of a nuclear Iran has been a controversial and hot-button issue in American foreign policy circles for years. During the past few recent pres-idential elections, candidates faced questions on this topic.
There are those that wish to stop Iran from developing a nuclear program, even a peace-ful one, through economic sanctions. However, others seek to accomplish the same ends through military intervention and conflict.
Obviously, negotiations and peaceful talks are much more productive and less costly than an armed conflict. However, these negotiations have not yielded results in the past, pri-marily because any concessions made would draw scrutiny and
criticism from hard-liners in both the United States and Iran.
As a result, Iran continues to pursue a nuclear power pro-gram.
We should allow Iran to de-velop a peaceful nuclear pro-gram for this reason. Iran will continue to pursue it regardless of what we do. Military inter-vention to thwart Iran’s nuclear program would be the fastest and easiest solution, but the consequences of such a move should outweigh any interest one might have. An American war with Iran should be avoided at all costs and should not even be considered an option. If an-other country chooses such a route, our involvement should be minimal at best.
It makes sense that letting Iran develop and maintain a peaceful nuclear program will cost us a lot less in terms of human lives and financial re-sources. With that being said, it is a good idea for the inter-national community to consis-tently monitor the program to ensure it is actually being used for peaceful purposes. During the current talks, the United States should be pushing for the inclusion of these conditions in any deal that would ease sanc-tions on Iran.
Logically, it makes sense to monitor Iran and play ball with them on this issue because they are going to move forward anyway. It is better for us to be there, have a voice and be part of the process.
Many would argue that this decision would hurt Israel and its interests. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
With the monitoring of nu-clear facilities, Israel will be given greater opportunity to gather more information on the inner workings on Iran’s nucle-ar program. It is well known that Israel has been conducting clandestine operations in Iran; in some cases they have gone as far as assassinating top nuclear scientists, according to Time magazine.
A reasonable agreement on Iran’s nuclear program should allow the Israelis to devote more of their resources toward avenues outside of security.
Israel is working out a contin-gency plan with Saudi Arabia if an agreement fails to curtail Iran’s nuclear capabilities, ac-cording to the Times of Lon-don. With extra insight given towards its intelligence capa-bilities, the Israelis would be one of the first to know if Iran’s nuclear program is being used for non-peaceful purposes.
In such a scenario, Israel would be within its right to at-tack Iran whenever it wants. The United States would not be in a position to direct the Is-raelis to do otherwise. Israel is a sovereign nation, not a state of the United States. We do not have the moral authority, or any authority, for that matter, to dictate what any other country does.
The United States remains the preeminent superpower of the 21st century.
However, yielding power is not always a reason or excuse to use it. If the worst-case scenar-io were to happen, our nation must exercise restraint as much as it does caution.
Iran’s nuclear program should be considered, but with caution

Thanksgiving is on the verge of being replaced by Black Friday
With Black Friday arriving closer and closer to Thanksgiv-ing dinner each year, the holiday has taken a back seat to the late-night sales.
The holiday, created to express gratitude, is being replaced by a consumerist mosh pit of individ-uals looking to buy unnecessary items for a discounted price.
In 2012, a record $59.1 mil-lion was spent during the week-end of Black Friday, according to CNN.
The National Retail Federa-tion reported that the number was a 13 percent increase from the $52.4 billion spent the year before.
Black Friday is usually seen as the beginning of the winter holiday season, with many cus-tomers looking to get a head start on their holiday shopping. As the trend grows, more and more stores want their piece of the pie.
With a larger number of stores opening up Thanksgiving night, corporations are putting an increased emphasis on the consumer-generated profit as opposed to the employees that are forced to leave their families for work.
Macy’s is opening on Thanks-giving Day for the first time, ac-cording to a press release by the retailer. The store had remained closed on the holiday for the past 155 years, according to the Huffington Post.
Walmart’s sales will start at 6 p.m., two hours earlier than the year before.
Kmart, however, decided to open its doors at 6 a.m. Thanks-giving Day and remain open un-til 11 p.m. the following night.
It was common for stores to open early the morning after Thanksgiving. Beginning in the late 2000s, stores began open-ing earlier and earlier to avoid competition from other retail-ers. As the greed grew and cor-porations saw higher profit mar-gins when stores opened earlier, Black Friday began intruding more and more on Thanksgiv-ing dinner.
The importance of a fam-ily reunion during the holiday is nothing but an afterthought for these retailers.
At the cost of valuable fam-ily time, employees are forced to leave their homes at either really late or really early hours, depending on the store’s open-ing, to clock in and assist the swarms of shoppers.
Fortunately, retailers such as Nordstrom announced its stores will remained closed in obser-vance of Thanksgiving Day.
“We won’t be decking our halls until Friday, November 29. Why? We just like the idea of celebrating one holiday at a time,” read the sign posted on stores nationwide.
With Thanksgiving and Christmas being only a month away, the transition period be-tween the two holidays is short.
Even before Thanksgiving arrives, stores nationwide are already laying out their Christ-mas decorations and music, undercutting the importance of Thanksgiving.
The fact that Christmas and other winter holidays are now highlighted by gift-giving expos-es today’s materialistic society.
Thanksgiving is meant to bring families and friends to-gether to reflect upon the mean-ings of the little things they value more than material possessions.
However, the cultural idea that “want” is more important than “need” is reflected in the differences between these two holidays.
Families cannot fathom living with bare necessities anymore, unless they are unwillingly forced into such a circumstance. Instead, individuals have been morphed into gluttonous, self-absorbed human beings who believe that the Xbox One bun-dle sold at a highly discounted price of $499 will make them any more important than their neighbor.
Discounted electronics and clothes will always be more important to Americans than valuing the importance of fam-ily. Quality family time has morphed from its traditional conversation oriented dinners to running around in a crowd-ed mall, pushing and shoving through the clusters of people getting their hands on a 32-inch television to replace the model they bought last year.
Thanksgiving is no more. If sale-hungry consumers and profit-obsessed retailers have their way, Thanksgiving will be sucked into a black hole. It will be torn to shreds by individuals frantically looking for its price tag before throwing it back on the shelf. Thanksgiving is on the verge of becoming nothing more than Black Thursday.
Stores are opening earlier, reducing the importance of family in Thanksgiving

THE DAILY TITAN IS HIRING FOR
SPRING SEMESTER
GO TO DAILYTITAN.COM FOR MORE INFO

Freshmen in the fast lane
At speeds exceeding 100 mph, the human body experiences certain challenges.
Increased gravitational forces during acceleration force blood from the brain to the lower ex-tremities, causing decreased motor function and vision.
A person’s heart rate rises sharply, while the amount of ox-ygen being taken in by the body decreases as breaths become shorter and more rapid.
Despite all this, two Cal State Fullerton freshmen do some of their best work at 100 mph and greater.
During the week, Elliott Skeer and Kenton Koch are the typi-cal, unassuming first-year col-lege students. Like many stu-dents at CSUF, they commute to campus from their homes and get from class to class by foot, or riding a Razor scooter in Skeer’s case.
“Some of my good friends still don’t know I race cars,” Skeer said. “I’m just a normal college kid to a lot of people.”
Driving at speeds reach-ing 140 mph, Skeer and Koch stretch the boundaries of being normal college kids by com-peting in the grassroots racing circuits on the weekends while pursuing their mechanical engi-neering degrees.
They also participate in CSUF’s Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) project.
Skeer and Koch cut their
teeth in racing by driving go-karts at the young ages of 6 and 8, respectively.
The two made the transi-tion to cars in 2011. Skeer made waves by taking home the Mazda MX-5 Shootout Cup in his rookie season. Koch fin-ished second in the Skip Barber Championships Shootout, earn-
ing a $30,000 racing scholar-ship for 2012.
This past racing season, as both drivers began their aca-demic careers at CSUF, they continued to progress in their racing careers while competing in the Mazda MX-5 Cup.
Racing in similar Mazda MX-5 cars, Skeer took second place in the Playboy division missing out on first place in the final lap of the season’s final race, while Koch led the Skip
Barber division from start to finish winning the title.
Prize money from the two racers’ victories immediately goes back into the cars and team of each driver. For this reason, both Skeer and Koch still con-sider themselves to be semi-pro-fessional.
However, each racer said a day may come when they’ll have to choose to make the leap to the professional ranks.
“I’ve put 12 years of my life into this right now, I’m going to do whatever I can to make it work with the racing,” Skeer said. “School, I’m the same as Kenton, I’m going to get a de-gree however long it takes, whatever route it takes. But then again, I’m also looking at it as, if I don’t, what can I get out of it.”
As CSUF freshmen, putting aside their racing commitments for even a moment can be diffi-cult.
But Skeer and Koch are well aware of the demands of me-chanical engineering.
“People who don’t have a life finish in five years,” Koch said of the mechanical engineering course load, while admitting racing itself is a full-time job.
Both students agree selecting the engineering field was both a natural progression and useful in their driving careers.
This is something Dean Case, communications officer for Mazda Motorsports, thinks will allow both drivers to prolong
their careers in motorsports, whether they would be profes-sional drivers or work elsewhere in the field.
“I think the fact that they are pursuing engineering degrees is fantastic,” Case said. “Whether they have a long-term driving career, we can’t speculate. But I could easily see that both of them have great prospects with-in the automotive world by hav-ing the driving skill.”
Adding to their workload off the track, both racers are help-ing with this year’s Formula SAE.
In this event, student-run teams from over 80 schools put an Indianapolis 500-style race car together from top to bottom, including designing the vehicle and raising funds.
Last year, CSUF’s car placed 31st in the event, but the team has never had drivers of Skeer and Koch’s caliber as team members before.
“If I drive a car and I feel something weird, I don’t really know what’s wrong with it,” Car-los Gibson, CSUF Formula SAE
team member and mechanical engineering major, said. “But (Skeer and Koch) have so much experience driving cars that they are like ‘oh, it’s doing this’ or ‘it’s oversteering because of this or that.’ So they know little aspects that we don’t know.”
Although the student racers have been working on the proj-ect for just a short time, so far their feedback has been invalu-able.
Gibson said he just hopes they don’t turn pro before then.
As of right now, Skeer and Koch are slated to drive CSUF’s entrant at the June competition in Nebraska.
Balancing school with their burgeoning racing careers, both Skeer and Koch are acutely aware of the experience CSUF and the Formula SAE project have given them.
“We’re getting more out of it than I think we are putting into it, to be honest,” Koch said. “Coming into this school I obvi-ously knew that I was going to learn a lot from it. I’ve learned more from Formula SAE in this
semester than racing the past two years.”
With the 2013 racing season now behind them, Skeer and Koch will likely have a mo-ment to relax and assume the role of normal college fresh-men once more until the next semester begins.

How to Deal
RILEY TANNERDaily Titan
Students look for stress relief
Photos courtesy of Alex Fairbanks
When he worked up to 40 hours a week at Disneyland and shoul-dered a 15-unit class schedule, Carlos Alvarez found himself over-whelmed and with no free time.
With a lack of sleep Alvarez, 19, a psychology major, said he felt angry all the time, and had thought about quitting his job because of the stress.
“I was dying, I was getting no sleep, I was angry all the time, I was going to quit, but they finally listened to my complaints,” Alvarez said. “I’m not getting paid more, but they’re not overworking me like they used to.”
After butting heads with his managers numerous times, Alvarez was able to get his hours reduced and is now satisfied with working 15-20 hours a week.
“I’d rather get less money and be comfortable than make a ton of money and hate life,” Alvarez said.
Every college student has their own method of dealing with every-day pressures including school, work, social interactions and the small events that make up daily life. Some students, like Alvarez, have to request time off or less hours at work in order to enjoy some free time, while others escape to the gym, hobby or nature.
Away from the city, campus and his uncle’s remodeling business, Alex Fairbanks, 21, takes a break from school and work to spend time in his treehouse.
In Fairbanks’ backyard sits a massive treehouse that stands over two stories tall and has over seven rope-swings arrayed in a trapeze-like ensemble. Splayed on his back with legs dangling from a ham-mock, Fairbanks’ troubles seem to diminish.
An outdoor experience is also the remedy for Alana Danielle, 21. She often disconnects from her phone and drives over to Newport or Hun-tington Beach for a jog when she feels like life is closing in.
Danielle usually goes jogging for about an hour to help clear her head. It allows her to place her problems in a correct and positive per-spective.
“Always remember that whatever is stressing you out isn’t perma-
nent, even though it may seem like the end of the world is near,” Dani-elle said.
The endorphins that are released from participating in physical ac-tivity also provide an opportunity for students like Andrew Davila, a 19-year-old civil engineering major, to shrug off unwanted baggage and exorcise emotional demons through exercise.
Davila’s work at the ELS Outlet, a state liquidation service, has him working directly under the owner, who runs his emporium at a fairly rapid pace.
“It’s not like working under a general manager, you work directly for someone who directly makes their livelihood off of what you’re doing,” Davila said. “Plus, the owner works at a fast pace. So, work at a fast pace or get out.”
Lifting weights allows students like Davila to use their unwanted negative energy to fuel a productive activity with an undoubtedly de-sirable result.
In order to relax and deal with the pressures of working and going to school, Scott Casciotta, 21, an entertainment studies major, has dedi-cated his time here at Cal State Fullerton to developing his ability to produce and exhibit music effectively.
Casciotta works at the Titan Student Union as a maintenance tech-nician and the everyday replacing, repairing and painting are toler-ated in order to move toward his true passion: DJing.
Casciotta, also known as DJ Cascio, performs regularly on his show “Cascio on the Air” on Titan Radio on Wednesdays from 5 to 6 p.m.
“With the combination of school and work, the stress level does in-crease and impacts my life,” Casciotta said.
He also plays music gigs at the Titian Student Union and has done some sorority philanthropy work.
While there is no single, all-encompassing stress reliever that is guaranteed to help everyone, finding a hobby or a passion unrelated to school or work is a great way for overworked students to deal with the pressures college and working often produce.
To relieve stress and take a break from school and work, Alex Fairbanks, 21, spends time outdoors in his tree house and swings in the trees.

Titans to play final road games of 2013
After two consecutive losses, the Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team looks to notch two victories this weekend against Big West Conference foes UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
The Titans will be looking for a rematch against the two teams after losing to UCSB 3-0 and Cal Poly SLO 3-1 earlier in the season.
In their first game against UCSB this season, Gaucho Ali Barbeau had 18 kills and a 45 hitting percentage, while Titan Alyse Hensley had 16 kills.
On Oct. 25, the Titans fell to Cal Poly SLO. The Titans were led by Alyse Hensley with 22 kills, while the team had a hit-ting percentage of 18, blocked six shots, had 90 digs and two aces. On the other side of the court, the Mustangs had a .227 hitting percentage, 10 blocks, 84 digs and six aces, while Anna Gorman led the team with 15 kills.
Overall, CSUF had a hitting percentage of .196, two blocks, 59 digs and five aces. On the other side of the court, UCSB had a .341 hitting percentage with 73 digs and 13 blocks.
This season has been a disap-pointment for the women’s vol-leyball team with a 3-10 confer-ence record and 10-15 overall. The only win the Titans had in the past five weeks was against UC Riverside, the last-place team in the conference.
Most recently, the Titans lost to Long Beach State in a 3-1 match. For the second game in
a row, senior outside hitter Bre Moreland achieved a double-double with 20 kills and 19 digs.
UCSB sits in second place in the Big West standings with a 10-2 record, their only losses coming against Hawai’i and Long Beach State. Overall, they have a record of 15-9.
The Gauchos have improved from their 2012 season where they went 9-9 in conference and 16-17 overall. UCSB could attri-bute their success to new Head Coach Nicole Lantagne Welch. She took the helm from Kathy Gregory, who had 882 victories
in her 38 years of coaching.In the Gauchos’ last contest,
they beat conference leading Cal State Northridge in a tense 3-2 match.
Freshman outside hitter Ali Spindt led the Gauchos with a game high of 18 kills and 10 digs. At the net, freshman middle blockers Phoebe Grunt and Allie Sullberg combined for 14 kills.
The Gauchos have a com-manding 58-8 series lead over the Titans. Over the last 11 meetings, the Titans have fallen to UCSB five times. Currently, the women’s volleyball team are
