Two Cal State Fullerton alumni are paying it for-ward by sharing their for-mula to success with CSUF students.

James and Ryan Fratzke, twin brothers who gradu-ated following the spring 2014 semester with de-grees in business marketing, now work as national ac-count managers for Where 2 Get It, a marketing agen-cy that specializes in loca-tion-based services.

The 23-year-olds, who were both class of 2014 commencement speakers for the Steven G. Mihay-lo College of Business and Economics, conducted a workshop in a Developing Marketing Strategies class to help students understand

the nuances of finding a job after college.

At Where 2 Get It, the 23-year-olds often meet with representatives from large corporations such as Walmart to localize the na-tional marketing strategies such corporations employ, Ryan Fratzke said. Part of that localization, he said, means using multiple digital platforms.

Their careers began in 2009 and along the way, they have had marketing jobs at Disneyland and have been to a combined 36 job interviews from promotions to new positions and more pay, Ryan Fratzke said.

“The purpose of our pre-sentation is to make (stu-dents’) post-college job search easier by sharing perspective from our career and personal experiences,” James Fratzke said.

CSUF report finds that Orange County CEOs make less than average pay for CEOs in U.S.

BRYAN CIFUENTESDaily Titan

In the second issue of the OC Corporate Governance Bulletin, Cal State Fullerton’s Center for Corporate Report-ing and Governance identi-fied the top-paid chief execu-tive officers in Orange County, ranked according to industry.

The results were the product of four months of data gather-ing topped off by an in-depth analysis of trends in CEO pay, pay by industry, pay by com-pany size and performance measures.

“This is a topic that we know is of interest to a lot of people—clearly CEOs and boards and businessmen, in-vestors, but also Congress and politicians,” said Vivek Mande, Ph.D., CCRG direc-tor and CSUF professor of ac-counting. “We felt there was a need to focus on Orange County.”

The report allows consum-ers to compare companies in multiple industries to analyze the pay of CEOs and what that pay means for the company and its employees.

“(Our) students, many of whom work in Orange Coun-ty, should be aware of some of the business practices that are going on in Orange County, and it helps them understand how business is conducted here,” Mande said. “CEO pay is like a window into how a business conducts itself—if you have CEOs who are paid atrocious amounts, you can infer that the quality of gov-ernance in the firm is also not good. CEO pay is a signal of what is going on in the firm.”

Pharmaceutical, bioscience and life science industries proved to have the best-paid CEOs in Orange County, with a median pay of over $5.6 mil-lion a year. Insurance, banking and real estate officials were also among the top-earning executives, with a median pay of $4.6 million a year.

The median pay of CEOs in the health care equipment and service field was $1.5 million below the next highest median pay group, earning a median pay of $1.9 million annually.

A tale of lost love will be show-cased this Friday in the musical production Kiss Me, Kate, a sto-ry set in 1948 where a man and his ex-wife are reunited.

The story follows characters Fred and Lily on their journey as they begin working together for Fred’s version of Taming of the Shrew, and how their lives slowly begin to mirror the characters they are portraying.

In this melodic, play-within-a-play rendition of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, there is bound to be comedy and romance that will draw attention from the audience.

Director Jeremy Lewis has placed a lot of time and dedication into Kiss Me, Kate, starting as far back as spring semester.

As a student working on his master’s degree with an emphasis in directing, he is required to di-rect three plays.

He found himself drawn to Kiss Me, Kate after collaborating with other faculty when he decided he wanted to work on a project that

would further help his career.“One is how to do Shakespeare

and the other is how to do a mu-sical,” Lewis said. “Those are the two most popular things in the world of theater. What better way to kill two birds with one stone?”

Lewis is also challenging him-self with the Kiss Me, Kate pro-duction because it is his first time directing a musical.

He enjoys the storyline and the musical selection includes songs he heard as a child growing up,

although he didn’t know they were from the musical.

Cast member Matthew Dunn shares similar thoughts on the show as Lewis.

Senate rejects keystone

GOP blocks measure on NSA

Man charged in stabbing

DTBRIEFS

The U.S. Senate killed a measure Tuesday that would have authorized construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, according to the New York Times.

The measure fell one vote short of the 60 needed to pass. The pipeline became part of a runoff election campaign in Louisiana when Senator Mary L. Landrieu, a Democrat, attempted to garner support for the pipeline to gain support in her energy-rich state, CNN reported.

Republicans argued that the pipeline would fuel job creation, and is expected to bring the issue back to the table when the GOP takes control of the Senate in January.

Senate Republi-cans blocked a mea-sure that would have prevented the Nation-al Security Adminis-tration from collecting Americans’ phone re-cords, the New York Times reported.

The bill, which had the support of the Obama administra-tion as well as multi-ple technology com-panies, would still have allowed the NSA to trace acquaintanc-es in a suspect’s net-work, but would have required a new type of court order to do so.

In addition, phone records would no lon-ger be collected in bulk by the NSA, but would rather be held by phone companies. The companies would not be required to hold the records for any longer than they are required to for normal business purposes.

A man suspected of stabbing his moth-er’s boyfriend in Ana-heim appeared in court Tuesday, but did not enter a plea, according to the Orange County Register.

Twenty-seven-year-old Ruben Martinez was charged with one felony count of murder, with his sentence being en-hanced for the personal use of a deadly weapon, prosecutors said.

Martinez was de-tained at Cerritos Ave-nue and Perdido Street Sunday night after po-lice responded to re-ports of a man lying in the street.

The 52-year-old vic-tim was Maximo Fuent-es Clara, the boyfriend of Martinez’s mother.

Martinez was formal-ly arrested Monday. If convicted, he faces 52 years to life in prison.

Results also show that CEO pay has steadily in-creased over the past five years, but Orange County CEOs are paid noticeably less than the majority of the people in similar positions throughout the U.S.

“(Orange County’s) CEOs are relatively underpaid if you compare them nation-wide. The average CEO pay in Orange County is about $1.8 million, where-as nationwide it’s more like four to five million dollars,” Mande said. “The median CEO pay in Orange Coun-ty has not grown as fast as nationwide.”

Many of the jobs in these up and coming industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnol-ogy and life sciences include making products to cure or control diseases, combining industry and medicine and the study of living organisms and how they can be used throughout the industry.

The Center for Corporate Reporting and Governance issued a report ranking CEOs in Orange County according to which industries saw their executives earn the most.

Developing a video game in 48 hours

CEO: Bioscience earns mostCONTINUED FROM 1

The Video Game Design club, headed by president Reza Nikoopour, will host a game jam beginning Friday in which groups of students develop a game over the course of the weekend.

YUNUEN BONAPARTE/ DAILY TITAN FILE PHOTO

What can you achieve in 48 hours?

A video game can take years to develop. This weekend, groups of stu-dents will do it in days.

The Video Game Design Club will host an event this weekend that will bring students together to create a video game in just two days. The goal of the game jam isn’t to win, club pres-ident Reza Nikoopour said, it’s to work together to ac-complish the goal.

“It’s really self-motivat-ed,” he said. “The idea of the game jams is to get you kickstarted into a group and then make you guys spend some time working together.”

Students will kick off the game jam Friday night by pitching their video game

ideas. From there, every-one chooses which game they want to help create and break off into teams. Each team will have the weekend to finish their game and, on Sunday night, the groups will come together to pres-ent their games and discuss what problems they faced.

“They can go home and develop their game, they can stay at school and de-velop their game, they can go get coffee—it’s really up to them where they want to be,” Nikoopour said.

For some team mem-bers, it is the first video game they’ve ever made, he said.

In past years, the event has drawn students from across campus, from busi-ness to art and music ma-jors. The popularity of the event has led the club to host a workshop teach-ing students to use Unity, a game engine used during the game jam. The event is open to all students inter-ested in getting involved

with game development, regardless of skill level or previous experience.

“Whoever wants to join in and have fun and make a game is more than welcome to participate,” Nikoopour said.

The event was first held in 2002 when two game devel-opers in Oakland decided to spend four days developing video games. They invit-ed friends and colleagues, and eventually the group of 14 developers created 12 games in four days.

The event was a hit with-in the gaming community and game jams started all over the world. The largest event is now Global Game Jam, where people all over the world meet up and de-velop games at the same time, all based on a com-mon theme.

The game jam starts Fri-day at 6 p.m. in the Engi-neering and Computer Sci-ence Building Room 300 and will continue until Sun-day night.

Video game jam will be open to students, regardless of major or previous experience

Film takes checkered flag

Twins: Brothers share experiences

The twins can’t afford to donate to CSUF financial-ly so they’re giving back to the campus in other ways, James said.

“As a proud CSUF grad-uate, I think paying it for-ward and giving back to the school is very important,” he said. “I think there is an opportunity here to share some school spirit and show students that staying in-volved with the school ... even after getting your de-gree is the right thing to do.”

The workshop began with James and Ryan asking ev-ery student about their ca-reer goals and providing specific advice for some of the students. Then they pro-vided a five-step presenta-tion they developed during

their interviews, which in-cluded many dos and don’ts of applying for jobs and go-ing through the interview process.

Each of the five steps in-cluded a detailed explana-tion and real-life examples to help students keep sight of their short and long-term goals.

“We want you to start thinking about the end of

your career, or not even the end of your career, but where do you see yourself a year from now, two years from now. And when you start to do this, it allows you to use that end as a guiding light,” James Fratzke said.

The brothers also en-couraged students to find a “passion project” to work on during college. That project will allow stu-dents to follow their pas-sion, immersing themselves in a single project, and the brothers have taken their own advice.

Aside from their day-to-day job and their busi-ness, they have continued to work on their passion proj-ect, conducting series of interviews with indie and alternative rock bands to post on their website, fandf-presents.com.

Mechanical engineering and film production are two disciplines that don’t have much in common, but when the two fields combine, great things can happen.

Earlier this month, a vid-eo made by Adam Mor-ley, a radio-TV-film major, showcasing the Society of

Automotive Engineers team and their custom-built For-mula SAE racecar took the checkered flag in an interna-tional competition.

The Generation Auto competition, organized by the Original Equipment Suppliers Association, con-sisted of students produc-ing a video showcasing their final product of a racecar from their own creation.

The team placed third in the competition last year.

The team plans to use the $4,000 prize to fund more

auto parts for future vehicle creations.

The vehicle this year cost an estimated $28,000, with a large portion coming from sponsors, donations and the school.

Carlos Gibson, team cap-tain and mechanical engi-neering major, is passionate about the world of racecars and how they operate. Gib-son hopes to one day man-age a racing team rather than drive them.

In his fourth year as a member, he’s learned the

hands-on work required in the world of racecar design.

He was drawn to the club because it encourages stu-dents to truly apply them-selves and though there are times when the building pro-cess is difficult, it is worth it in the end, he said.

“Three years ago, the most appealing aspect of FSAE to me was the work ethic, dedication and knowl-edge level of the team mem-bers,” Gibson said.

The club shapes him for

his future career path, Gib-son said, giving him am-ple opportunities to hone his skills and understand all he possibly can about the industry.

It also provides opportu-nities to network with oth-ers in his field and get the hands-on experience he wouldn’t be able to fulfill in the classroom alone.

The SAE club is open to any CSUF student inter-ested in constructing race-cars, though core members are carefully chosen to join

the Formula SAE team that manufactures the racecar.

“We do not limit our team to the core members we se-lect,” Gibson said. “Anyone who wants to help design the car is welcomed to join and assist a core member. Design decisions are left exclusively to the core members.”

To further show the suc-cess of their vehicle, from Friday to Nov. 30, the car will be presented at the LA Auto Show along with other entries from other schools in Southern California.

James and Ryan Fratzke presented to business students Tuesday, bringing their experience with the business world to students looking to enter it in the coming years.

Piano lovers are in for a treat Thursday as world re-nowned pianist Boris Berman brings his talents to Cal State Fullerton.

Berman, born in Moscow, is a Grammy-nominated art-ist who has played in nearly 50 countries around the world with different symphonies and orchestras.

He has performed with the likes of the Minnesota Or-chestra, the Israel Philhar-monic, the Toronto Sympho-ny and the Philharmonia in London to name a few.

Another one of Berman’s major accomplishments in-cludes being the first pianist to record the complete fin-ished solo works of Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.

He received an Edison Award, the Dutch equivalent to a Grammy Award for his recital of Shostakovich’s pia-no compositions.

He attended the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory where he graduated as both a pianist and harpsichordist. At the conservatory, he was able to study with another cel-ebrated pianist, Lev Oborin.

Berman left the Soviet Union in 1973 and immigrat-ed to Israel.

He founded and directed the Music Spectrum concert series in Israel in 1975.

He currently lives in the U.S. and is head of the piano department at the Yale School of Music. He has been a part of Yale’s music faculty since 1984.

He founded the Yale Sum-mer Piano Institute, and from 1984-1997 founded and di-rected the Yale Music Spec-trum series.

He has been named an hon-orary professor of the Shang-hai Conservatory of Music in 2005.

Berman now tours the world hosting master’s class-es and, at times, residencies. CSUF is one of his 17 stops for 2014-2015.

Berman will perform five compositions during his per-formance, including Beetho-ven’s Variations in F Major

op. 34 and 15 Variations and a Fugue in E flat Major op. 35 (Eroica). He will also play Stravinsky’s Serenade en La.

Berman’s performance wouldn’t be complete if he did not play a Prokofiev piece. He will play two that night, Sonata No. 5 (second version) and Sonata no. 7.

The performance will be from 8-10 p.m. in the Meng Concert Hall.

Tickets can be purchased at the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office or online for $13 in advance with the Titan discount. Single tickets are $15 without the discount.

The performance will be a great way to unwind after midterms and kick off the fall recess.

Students will be treated to an afternoon with free piz-za and a free concert from a stellar band.

Dark indie-rock band Maudlin Strangers will be performing Wednesday from noon to 1 p.m. at The Beck-er Amphitheater located between the Titan Student

Union and the Commons.Maudlin Strangers is a

band of four which includes the multi-talented instru-mentalist Jake Hays, who provides vocals and also produces, engineers and mixes the music.

Hays is the son of legend-ary punk-rock singer Che-rie Currie of ‘70s all-female rock band, The Runaways, which explains the high cali-ber of talent that he brings to the stage.

Fans of artists like The Black Keys or Arctic

Monkeys will love Maudlin Strangers.

Maudlin means “foolishly tearful or sentimental, often through drunkenness,” ac-

cording to the band’s Face-book page, which in many ways is a comical way of ex-plaining their sound.

Maudlin Strangers’ song

Penny was featured on the season premiere of the hit TV show The Vampire Diaries.

Penny is dark and sensu-al with soulful, vintage vo-

cals and gritty lyrics such as, “It’s just one against the world, and every day I hope that it will get better. No more wasting thoughts on

her, I’ve bought her time and I’ve given her every penny. I paint her ‘lover,’ A ruse for the comfort. Her smile makes you wonder what blooms in the covers.”

Their EP Overdose was released in February and in-cludes the songs, Overdose, Stay Young and Penny. In-fectious Magazine called them, “Alternative rock at its finest.”

Maudlin Strangers is based out of Agoura Hills and plays at local ven-ues up and down Southern

California, staying central to Los Angeles.

Maudlin Strangers is one of the many performances hosted by ASI Productions in the series of Wednes-day Concerts at the Becker Amphitheater.

This show is the second to last in the series before fall intersession.

The next band will be Suburban Legends, a Hun-tington Beach-based ska band. Admission to the Wednesday Concerts is free for all students.

The Cal State Fullerton community will be privi-leged with works by Bach, Boccherini, Stauss, Drag-onetti and more as the Cello Choir unites once more Fri-day evening under talented director Bongshin Ko.

The event will take place at the Clayes Performing Arts Center in the Recital Hall and will last approxi-mately two hours from 8-10 p.m.

The Cello Choir was put together in spring 2001, and has been engaging students and audiences alike with the mastery of the cello ensem-ble through various classes and concerts.

The choir itself is made up of CSUF’s very own

full-time students and stu-dents enrolled through the Extended Education pro-gram. Even high school stu-dents ages 16 and older are allowed to try out to join the group.

The chamber of string in-struments is led by Ko, who has built quite the resume over the years with a variety of performances.

The professor of cello and assistant director of the school of music has performed worldwide and has received over 30 international awards and prizes. Her recordings can even be heard on the Asi-ana Airlines International in-flight classical station.

The concert will be $10 for the general public, while CSUF students will be able to purchase tickets in advance for $8. Guests of the perform-ing arts will also be eligible for free parking after 5 p.m. Friday in the Nutwood Park-ing Structure.

Dunn plays the character Bill Calhoun, who would mirror Lucentio in Taming of the Shrew. He is excited for the role because it is his first lead.

Dunn has put himself through a lot of physical work to prepare himself for this part, which re-quires heavy amounts of dancing.

“The main thing I’ve had to do is get myself in

the best physical shape of my life,” Dunn said. “This role is physically demand-ing, and it required plen-ty of gym time and a lot of stretching.”

On average, Dunn spends three to six hours a day rehearsing, but some-times stretches it out to 10 hours.

He was drawn to the mu-sical specifically because he felt he could relate to Calhoun. Though Dunn doesn’t have a gambling

problem like Calhoun, he describes Calhoun as a “Broadway Hoofer,” which refers to his huge dance background.

“(Calhoun) also has ac-complished what I hope to accomplish in my future, being on Broadway,” Dunn said.

Lewis is also figuring out what he’d like to ac-complish as a director. He’s learned to collaborate with other directors for music and choreography, while

calling his experiences fun and educational.

Lewis and Dunn both want audience members to know Kiss Me, Kate isn’t about a man taming a woman, but a realistic sce-nario that could honest-ly happen to anyone and should be taken as a learn-ing experience.

In addition to the les-sons learned, audiences will learn why the ex-couple is working together once again in this Broadway classic.

At long last, the issue of off-shore untaxed money is gar-nering some serious political attention, hopefully this will lead to some serious reform. Multinational corporations cannot continue to have their cake, and eat it too.

In 2000, the U.S. State De-partment estimated the total assets of secret offshore ac-counts to be $4.8 trillion. In 2007, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, an international coalition, found that estimate to have risen to somewhere be-tween $5-7 trillion.

A 2014 Senate report found that secret tax haven banking cost the U.S. $150 billion a year in lost revenue. Collect-ing these unpaid taxes would reduce the national deficit, which currently exceeds $500 billion without raising taxes.

The G8, G20 and the Or-ganisation have pledged to ad-dress the issue. In the U.S., the Department of Justice and the Permanent Sub-Committee for Investigations in the Sen-ate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs have also ramped up inquiries.

But reform on the nation-al and international level has proven to be slow. The battle

to end Swiss banking secrecy has been decades long. Thank-fully, individual states are showing some muscle and contributing to the multiple front attack on multinational tax dodgers.

Montana was the first state, joined by Oregon last year. Now Maine and Minneso-ta are studying these leading states as examples for writing

their own bill. They’ve gar-nered notable support from constituent small business associations.

Defenders of tax haven banking claim that the prac-tice drives down corporate tax rates by forcing governments to compete, but these multi-national tax dodgers are the very same companies that en-roll in government financial

programs and accepted gov-ernment bailout money.

The leader among these fi-nancial hoarders is General Electric Co., which reported back in February 2013 that it had $108 billion sitting in overseas accounts. Seven of those accounts are in tax hav-en jurisdictions: three in Ber-muda, one in Luxembourg and three in Singapore.

General Motors Corp. re-ceived $13.4 billion in feder-al assistance while maintain-ing 11 offshore subsidiaries in tax haven countries. Ameri-can International Group Inc., which received about $150 billion, had 18 questionable subsidiaries.

For all the talk about big government and confisca-tory tax rates, these money

hoarding multinationals seem to have conveniently forgotten that the government financial assistance programs which they benefited from cost tax-payer dollars.

Though these offending companies claim that offshore financial is necessary to avoid “double taxation,” U.S. multi-national companies are never actually double taxed.

Corporations and indi-viduals are entitled to a for-eign tax credit that reduces their U.S. tax liability by the amount of tax paid to foreign jurisdictions, according to an article released by the Cen-ter for American Progress in January.

“Deferrals allow U.S. cor-porations to delay paying tax-es on their foreign income for long periods of time or even indefinitely … The deferred tax is only triggered if a U.S. parent corporation repatriates its foreign subsidiary’s prof-its,” according to the Center for American Progress re-port. This only incentivis-es the stockpiling of offshore funds.

Now we must lean on our representatives and hope that something can be done about these loopholes. We need to repatriate these billions of dol-lars and put them back to work in the U.S.

Legislators need to find a solution to the flawed territori-al and deferral systems which currently enable such inexcus-able greed.

Fracking is a controversial issue on its own. It becomes a bigger issue when it con-taminates an already scarce resource.

It was recently discovered that state officials allowed oil and gas companies to con-taminate almost three bil-lion gallons of waste water into underground aquifers in California. The irresponsi-bly contaminated water could have been used for drinking or irrigation.

California’s Department of Conservation Chief Dep-uty Director Jason Marshall’s explanation for the event was

that “an error could have been made.”

You think?The massive amounts of

water used to release and re-trieve fossil fuels, known as fracking, has already sparked huge controversy over envi-ronmental concerns. Critics of fracking argue that possi-ble carcinogenic chemicals could escape and pollute any groundwater in the surround-ing area. There are also con-cerns of air pollution. How-ever, the industry defends against these claims by say-ing that the risks are result of bad practice and not risky technique.

Critics also argue that fracking could cause Earth tremors. In 2011, Blackpool, a coastal city in England, expe-rienced two small magnitude earthquakes after fracking.

Realistically, pollution and a little shaking are nothing new to California. However, California’s water supply, or lack there of, is a serious issue for our drought-ridden state.

As of July, California only has roughly 12 to 18 months of water left, according to

a Los Angeles Times arti-cle. While the state has had some rain since July, 2014 is still standing to be one of the warmest and driest years for California.

Fracking already uses up

large quantities of water to ex-tract the fuel from the ground. A single well could use any-where from hundreds to mil-lions of gallons of water.

With so much of this pre-cious and valuable resource already being consumed for the fracking process, it is to-

tally unacceptable that Cali-fornia officials simply allowed what water we do have to be-come tainted.

In fact, this activity is not only irresponsible by our lead-ers, but could be illegal.

The aquifers that were af-fected by the multibillion gal-lon waste dumping should have been protected by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The Sole Source Aquifer Protection Program is autho-rized under the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. According to the Sole Source Aquifer, the Environmental Protection Agency is required to look into any projects that may endan-ger a significant water source that could cause a significant hazard if contaminated.

Chief Deputy Director Marshall commented that oil and gas companies will often re-inject the fracking waste back deep underground where the actual fracking took place. However, some-times the waste water is in-jected into aquifers that the

Environmental Protection Agency have deemed “ex-empt,” or not clean enough for human use or consumption.

That did not stop waste wa-ter from being put into at least nine perfectly usable aquifers, and causing the shutdown of 11 wells.

Hollin Kretzmann from the Center for Biological Diversi-ty in San Francisco, described the pumping as inexcusable, saying that the wells may now be irreparably contaminat-ed, in an interview with NBC News.

If this is the case, California has taken a major hit in an al-ready uphill battle.

Water is not easy to come by for Californians right now, and the state population can-not afford to waste a single drop, let alone an entire under-ground lake.

-Vince Lombardi

JOKES OF THE DAY

A: Your name

Q: What goes through towns, up & over hills, but doesn’t move?

A: The road!

Q: Why was there thunder and lightning in the lab?

A: The scientists were brainstorming!

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

You might set out to please everyone today, but ironically could end up alienating others if you don’t consider your needs, too.

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

Being of service to others isn’t only a kind thing to do, it’s also productive now that the Moon is in your 6th House of Work. Earning money isn’t your primary concern today.

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

You’re searching for little ways to alter the daily routines of your life, but you don’t want to upset the status quo.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

Family dynamics are in the spotlight when the Moon returns to your 4th House of Security today. If parenting is your main responsibility, then you could have less free time available for other activities.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

You long for some quiet time today so you can think about the recent twists and turns in your life. Unfortunately, the road ahead may not be very easy to navigate, so it’s a sensible idea to be careful.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

You may encounter an unexpected speed bump on the road of life today and though it requires you to slow down, there’s no need for a detour.

You have reached an unavoidable fork in the road. Projects that have required your attention throughout the year may be reaching a point of completion.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

You don’t have a lot of free time available today, but you still want to escape for a little while, anyhow. Meanwhile, your workmates keep re-minding you of how many tasks you still have to complete.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

An excessive amount of stress could act as a powerful catalyst today, giving you a perfect chance to prove your competence to your boss.

AQUARIUS(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18):

Even your well thought-out plans could meet unexpected opposition today, but your best ideas can still reach fruition if you’re open to making tactical changes along the way.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

You could face a tricky situation today if you need to deal with someone who holds authority over you while remaining unsupportive of your efforts.

Despite a valiant come-back attempt, the Cal State Fullerton women’s basket-ball team fell to the Uni-versity of San Diego 60-54 Tuesday at Jenny Craig Pavillion.

The Titans (0-2) have lost eight consecutive games to the Toreros, including a 23-point loss at Titan Gym last season.

A dreadful offensive per-formance in the first half

proved costly for Head Coach Daron Park’s squad. The Titans made only three shots on 18 field goal at-tempts (16.7 percent) and shot just 1-10 from beyond the arc.

Fullerton had 12 turn-overs in the first half and San Diego took advantage of their mistakes, scoring 12 points off turnovers in the half.

The Titans only shot 60 percent from the free-throw line in the first 20 minutes, but the nine free throws kept them in the game.

Freshman Daeja Smith converted all four of her free-throw attempts in the

half and Natalie Williams and Hailey King each made half of their shots from the charity stripe.

Fortunately for CSUF, the Toreros also struggled offen-sively in the first half.

They shot 18.9 percent from the field and made just 1-of-8 3-point attempts.

Katherine Hamilton led the team with six points in the half, but made just one shot on seven attempts.

San Diego took a 24-16 lead into halftime large-ly due to their rebounding advantage.

The Toreros had 30 re-bounds in the half, led by Sophia Ederaine who had

seven. The Titans had just 20

rebounds with Samantha Logan leading the way with four.

USD had nine sec-ond-chance points com-pared to just two for the Titans.

Both teams picked up the offense in the second half.

One of USD’s leading scorers, Maya Hood, had just four points in the first half but lit up the score-board in the second half, scoring 13 points.

The Titans had a stellar shooting performance in the second half.

They shot an incredible

59.1 percent from the field and 62.5 percent from be-yond the arc.

Freshman Amanda Tive-nius made all six of her shot attempts in the half and scored 16 points.

She scored a team-high 13 points in the exhibition game against Cal Baptist, but was scoreless in the reg-ular season opener against Montana State.

Freshman Portia Ne-ale made 2-of-3 3-point at-tempts and so did Logan.

All 13 of Logan’s shot at-tempts have been 3-point attempts this season.

The Titans trailed by 17 with 5:11 remaining in

the game, but went on a 10-0 run to make the game interesting.

The run was capped by 3-pointers from Chante Miles and Logan.

Neale and Logan each hit a pair of threes and scored the final 12 points of the game for the Titans.

The late flurry was not enough, however, and the Toreros held on to get their second win of the season.

The Titans return to Ti-tan Gym to play Villanova Friday.

It is game three of a bru-tal stretch where Fullerton must play six games over a span of 14 days.

Titans late rally comes up short

CSUF prepared for home opener

The Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team will return to the hardwood Sat-urday as the Titans take on the San Jose State Spartans for their home opener at Ti-tan Gym.

Last year, the Titans were demolished 81-59 at the hands of the Spartans in San Jose, but there is reason to believe that re-sult will be different this season.

With many new faces in CSUF uniforms, the team has seemingly taken on a new identity in the early going.

So far this season, Ful-lerton has struggled against a pair of tough opponents, falling to the Santa Clara Broncos and New Mexi-co Lobos over the opening weekend.

Both teams feature hos-tile home environments and a history of premiere tal-ent, making them a tough place to earn a victory.

Senior Moses Morgan has been the leader on of-fense through the first two games, averaging 18.5 points per game, while an-other newcomer, Laner-ryl Johnson, has poured in 16.5 points per contest for Fullerton.

Alex Harris was expect-ed to be a key piece to this 2014 Titans squad, but the senior guard has shot only 34.8 percent from the field to this point.

His 12.5 points per game

ranks third for CSUF, but his role on the team will likely grow as the season progresses.

Head Coach Dedrique Taylor has to be impressed with the play of sophomore Joe Boyd, who is averag-ing eight points and 6.5 re-bounds per game.

His steady contribu-tions have kept the Titans afloat against difficult opponents.

San Jose State is 1-1 on the season, but plays a

home contest against Pep-perdine Wednesday be-fore taking the trip to Titan Gym.

After dominating Bethesda University in their season opener, SJSU fell in a heartbreaker to the University of Portland 73-68 in overtime on their home court.

Juniors Jordan Baker and Frank Rodgers have paced the Spartan offense, scor-ing 17 and 16 points per game, respectively.

So far this year, San Jose State has jumped out to early leads in both con-tests, outscoring their op-ponents 75-49 in the first half.

Fullerton will look to avoid falling behind early Saturday, and cleaning up their turnovers will be key to a fast start against their Western Athletic Confer-ence foes.

Last year, the Spartans were just 3-12 away from their home arena, so CSUF

and their 8-6 home record from last season should take advantage.

So far this year, the Ti-tans have posted a disap-pointing 26:24 assist to turnover ratio, meaning they are giving the ball up almost as often as they are distributing it to their own team.

Fullerton has also been dreadful from the chari-ty stripe, knocking down just 60 percent of their free throw chances.

In front of their home crowd for the first time this year, the Titans should be energized and ready to make a statement and earn a key victory before hitting the road for five straight games.

With several tough oppo-nents left on the non-con-ference slate, the Titans will take any victory they can get, and have an ex-cellent opportunity to earn win number one at home Saturday night.

Sophomore Joe Boyd has been one of the lone bright spots for the Titans, averaging eight points and over six rebounds so far while shooting above 86 percent overall.WINNIE HUANG / DAILY TITAN FILE PHOTO
