Titans dig deep after loss to UCLAMARC DONEZDaily Titan

Cal State Fullerton painfully squandered an early four-goal lead en route to a 6-5 overtime loss to UCLA at the KHS Ice Arena Nov. 6.

The Titans, coming off a heart-breaking 3-2 shootout loss to San Diego State the night before, began the game firing on all cylinders. Just two minutes into the game, junior forward Anthony Webb scored his first goal of the season giving CSUF the early lead.

The Titans kept attacking UCLA freshman goaltender Al Ricciardelli, forcing big saves early on. The Bruins defense couldn’t handle the Titans’ attack, however, allowing junior forward Shane Galaviz to score his first goal of the season off a nice pass from sophomore defenseman Payne Sauer.

The Titans attacked the UCLA Titan Head Coach Nick Moran talks with his team between periods as the Titans dominate most of the game, but lose in overtime to UCLA 5-4.

For some people, art is a way of life. It is the freedom of expression that brings people together in a community forum.

The Hibbleton Gallery in Downtown Fullerton is motivated by this concept. In their newly re-located space, co-owners Jesse La Tour, Tony Bach, London Lewis, Steve Westbrook, Chuck Oldfield and Nick Balderas have united forces with two already established art spaces to create what is becom-ing an artistic force in DTF.

Hibbleton is now adjoined to Project Art School and The Vio-let Hour art spaces off of Santa Fe Street.

“Now that Hibbleton and PAS have moved in the energy between all of us is actually quite incred-ible, and I really sense that this is the beginning of a whole art move-ment,” said Mike Magoski, owner of The Violet Hour.

All of the owners share a love for the city of Fullerton as well as their communities which encouraged them to help sprout a movement in the flourishing downtown.

“We all live in the Fullerton area and there didn’t seem to be a huge art scene, in Fullerton let alone the Orange County area so we just thought it would be fun to culti-vate that and encourage it down in these parts,” Oldfield said.

Toothpaste, foot powder and canned soup may not seem like the ideal holiday gift, but for troops in Afghanistan, these little treasures in care packages will bring some much-needed comfort to a lonely holiday season.

The Student Veterans Associa-tion, Veterans Student Services and the Human Services Student As-sociation have teamed up to start a holiday care package drive at Cal State Fullerton to show their sup-port for troops in Afghanistan.

“Last year we actually sent out 50 care package boxes, and we even had leftover items,” said Joseph Chang, VSS coordinator. “It was our first event, and we were not sure (what to expect) but because of the suc-cess, overwhelming participation and all the encouraging messages, this time we decided to send 100 boxes.”

Some suggested items to donate are wipes, mouthwash, lip balm, beef jerky, cookies, hot chocolate, books and calling cards. The com-plete list is available at the WoMen’s Center drop-off location in UH-205. Fliers about the drive are dis-played throughout campus.

“This is just a generalized list. If anybody wants to donate items that are not on the list, we are willing to take them, and if we (can) find out the individual needs in Afghani-stan from family members, we will do our best to meet their needs as well,” Chang said.

Zoe Boorn, student intern for the VSS, has been collecting items in the WoMen’s Center drop-off lo-cation and says that many contribu-tors are buying items in bulk from superstores like Costco and donat-ing whole boxes.

Boorn recommends donating anything that is not going to perish quickly and everyday things that we take for granted.

Aside from personal items and food, the SVA, VSS and HSSA are collecting monetary donations in increments of $10 to help cov-er postage costs, which are about $10.33 per box.

zone throughout the entire first pe-riod, outshooting the Bruins 26-8. The few shots that UCLA was able to get off were knocked down by Titan junior goaltender Alex Miller, who was mobile throughout the start of the game.

Sophomore forward Jacob Daniel scored for the Titans at 12:01 in the first period, giving CSUF a 3-0 lead. The Titans were hungry for more, with “attack” becoming the theme for the first period.

Outstanding puck movement al-lowed CSUF to get shots early on, while the Titans got physical on the defensive side of the puck. That pres-sure defense forced UCLA to take bad shots.

The beginning of the second pe-riod saw more of the same from the Titans, forcing big saves from UCLA’s Ricciardelli while CSUF de-fense dominated.

The Bruins started the period on a power-play, but failed to get any

good shots. Luck even seemed to be on CSUF’s side when the Bruins failed to capitalize on a two-on-none breakaway.

UCLA finally got on the board at the 12:11 mark when junior forward Charlie Linehan scored on a seeing-eye shot, making it 4-1. The Titans quickly responded with a goal from senior defenseman Patrick McDe-vitt. It would be CSUF’s last goal of the night.

“We started off playing real well,” Webb said. “We just kind of fell apart from there. We just stopped playing smart hockey.”

It was downhill for the Titans from that point on. UCLA made it a three-goal game when freshman forward Nick Panzica scored on a power-play for the Bruins. UCLA started attack-ing the Titans’ zone, and it showed with the Bruins taking 15 shots on goal compared to CSUF’s eight.

tary assistance every year but this is the first year that the assistance has been labeled as restoration, a

return of funds since 2007.”

Free toys in McDonald’s Happy Meals will no longer be included because of unhealthy food options for children

JESSICA RUBIOFor the Daily Titan

San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted last week to ban toy giveaways in McDon-ald’s Happy Meals.

This will make San Francisco the first city in the country to prohibit restaurants from offering a free toy with meals that contain high levels of sodium, fat and sugar content. The measure aims to support and promote healthy eating in the fight against childhood obesity.

McDonald’s Corp. was less than pleased with this ordinance.

“Somehow the San Francisco Board of Su-pervisors just took the happy out of Happy

Meals,” said Scott Rodrick, owner of 10 Mc-Donald’s franchises in the city, in an SFGate article titled ‘SF Fast-food toy ban gets su-pervisors’ first OK.’

“It would be an understatement to say how disappointed I am with this legislation,” Rodrick said.

Rodrick and other fast-food chain repre-sentatives feel parents decide what their chil-dren eat, not San Francisco’s Board of Super-visors. Rodrick said that this restriction could impact employment and hurt business.

See HAPPY, page 2

Not so happy meals

Business major LeAnn Gonzalez be-lieves that because this new ordinance will take away toys from kid’s meals, the McDonald’s company image and sales will be affected negatively.

“They target young children with their colors, fun environment and Ronald McDonald spokes character,” Gonzalez, 20, said. “I think that their sales will most likely drop because of their huge consumer segment aimed toward children.”

Under the anticipated rule, Mc-Donald’s is able to give away a free toy with the Happy Meal only if it con-tains less than 600 calories, has less than 640 milligrams of sodium and if less than 35 percent of the calories derive from fat. The regulation on McDonald’s Happy Meals will also require meals to include more servings of fruits and vegetables with all meals for kids that offer toys.

Kimberlee Prokopij, a registered nurse from St. Bernardine Medical Center in San Bernardino, said people should decide what foods they eat.

“McDonald’s does promote healthy choices like apple slices and milk,”

said Prokopij. “But parents are re-sponsible for opting for the healthier option in the kid’s meal. How does banning toys impact healthy living?”

A graduate of Cal State Fullerton’s criminal justice program, Anthony Sanchez, sees the new law regulat-ing McDonald’s Happy Meals as a triumph for children’s health.

“This new law will probably lower child obesity; if kids aren’t enticed for a toy then there’s no rea-son for them to want fatty foods,” Sanchez, 24, said. “But people will question this law and become upset

with this new regulation.”Sanchez assumes that McDonald’s

will challenge this law as it relates to other fast food companies who are allowed to include toys in their kid’s meals. He believes that San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors was smart in their decision.

“San Francisco is a perfect city to pioneer this new ordinance,” Sanchez said.

San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors will take a finishing vote this week. If the vote passes, the regulations will go into effect in December 2011.

Judge tosses out suit over Waldorf method at two schools

SACRAMENTO — A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit that has kept the Sacramento City Unified School District in court for nearly 13 years fending off a challenge to the Waldorf teaching meth-od used in two district schools.

People for Legal and Non-Sectarian Schools, or PLANS Inc., sued the district in 1998, claiming the method is inextricably linked to anthroposophy — the philosophy of Waldorf method founder Rudolf Steiner. the suit contended anthroposophy is a religion and that its use in public schools violates the First Amendment’s establishment clause, which precludes mixing religion with government institutions.

A lawyer for PLANS said Saturday that an appeal is likely. School district spokesman Gabe Ross declined to comment.

PAKISTAN — two U.S. drone strikes Sunday killed at least 13 militants in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal region near Afghanistan, intelligence officials said.

The attacks, about an hour apart, took place in North Waziristan, a moun-tainous district known as a hotbed of taliban and al-Qaida militants conduct-ing cross-border raids into Afghanistan on NAto-led international forces.

An intelligence official said an unmanned drone fired two missiles into a house in the village of Ghulam Khan, killing nine people and wounding two.

WASHINGTON — Faced with increasing political attacks, hundreds of cli-mate scientists are joining a broad campaign to push back against congressional conservatives who have threatened prominent researchers with investigations and have vowed to kill regulations to rein in man-made greenhouse gas emis-sions.

The efforts reveal a shift among climate scientists, many of whom have tradi-tionally stayed out of politics and avoided the news media. Many now say they are willing to go toe-to-toe with their critics, some of whom gained new power after the Republicans won control of the House in last tuesday’s election.

Some are prepared to go before what they consider potentially hostile audi-ences on conservative talk radio and television shows.

Cruisin’ for St. Jude

Car lovers showcased their rides at Sigma Nu’s first annual car show for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Saturday.

More than 40 cars filled the park-ing spaces of Lot A, where participants competed from “Best of Show” to “Worst of Show.”

Minivans, classics and muscle cars were a few of the vehicles that came to-gether to raise money and awareness.

“Up ‘til Dawn is a student-run phil-anthropic program that helps raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This year Sigma Nu and Up

‘til Dawn collaborated,” said Josue Ro-driguez, 19, social chair of Beta Sigma Nu pledge class.

Up ‘til Dawn is a club on campus that meets Wednesdays at 7 p.m. at the titan Student Union.

Unlike most car shows, where the winner takes all, the proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Re-search Hospital, a nonprofit orga-nization that provides free medical treatment to children with cancer and other diseases.

eric Kessler, coordinator and Cal State Fullerton student, said that all proceeds are for a great cause. With 10 categories for cars and 28 trophies donated by trophies by Leon, Inc., the charity car show would be all for the kids.

Car show participant and Fountain Valley resident Ron Peppeig, is glad to be helping someone who is in need.

“(I) enjoyed showcasing my car and helping children who suffer from a se-

rious conditions,” Peppeig said.Chuck Simmerman of Seal Beach

brought his 1950 Chevy Deluxe. Sim-merman has participated in several car shows and sees the event as a way of helping those in need.

Admission to the general public was free. In addition to the car show, food, music and fun prizes were all part of the event.

All the admission fees, food sales and raffle tickets benefit St. Jude Chil-dren’s Research Hospital.

The registration fee for car show participants was $15. Donations were also accepted.

“More than $2,000 was raised,” said Kevin tran, treasurer of Beta Sigma pledge class.

Sigma Nu hopes to bring back the car show next year and bring more awareness to the many children who suffer from cancer and other diseases. November will be all about St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Nov. 4, 2010: The following corrections are regarding the article titled “Cal State University Analysis.”

The statement, “one of the luxuries of being a CSU president is free housing in addition to an annual salary,” should accurately read, “the number of CSU presidents recei is not all but less than one-third.” This corrected statement was provided by Christopher Bugbee, director of

Media Relations for Cal State Fullerton.

The statement referring to faculty that “if they are Ph.D.s or published, (they can) be mak-ing from salary alone $85,000 plus,” is inaccurate. The correct information according to the

California State University profile of CSU employees from the year 2009 which can be found on the CSU website shows that the average salary during an academic year for all full-time faculty is $79,161. Full-time faculty includes the following positions; professor, associate professor, assis-

tant professor, instructor and lecturer.

There will be a revised version of the article “Cal State University Analysis” posted on the Daily Titan website within the week.

“In doing something like this, they know that, ‘Wow, there’s peo-ple that still care about us; there’s people that know that we have needs,” Boorn said.

Con Beltran, a student veteran and intern at the WoMen’s Center, served in Iraq in 2004 and 2005.

Beltran agreed with Boorn and said that the care packages give hope to homesick soldiers who are

fighting overseas during the holiday season.

“When I was in Iraq for Christ-mas and Thanksgiving, I didn’t have my family next to me. I didn’t have my daughter or my son with me, or my wife. I couldn’t wake up and say, ‘Merry Christmas,’” Beltran said. “So when they send these packages to soldiers overseas, it gives them a sense of happiness. They receive something from someone that they don’t know, but who appreciates

what they’re doing for the coun-try.”

The SVA will host the Wall of he-roes event Nov. 8, 9 and 10, where photos and information about CSUF veterans will be displayed on the Titan Walk. Students will be able to sign the care packages before they are shipped and find out more information about the drive. Care packages will be collected until Dec. 2, when they will package the boxes and ship them overseas.

Sharing a culture

Riverside’s John W. North high School shouted, “J-DUB!” and Washington high made a “W” with their fingers, while posing for a pho-to that was meant to represent them as a student body at the fifth annual Black Consciousness Conference.

The conference took place at the Titan Student Union Pavilion C at Cal State Fullerton Thursday. It was sponsored by CSUF’s African Amer-ican Resource Center and hundreds of high school students attended to learn what options they have for the future.

high School students were in-vited to attend the event and were encouraged to pursue a higher edu-cation. Walnut, John W. North, Washington and Pomona high schools were among the schools present.

Chauntel Riser, the African American Resource Center coordi-nator said, about 250 students were expected to attend.

“I came to learn more about what college I am going to and coach-ing and stuff like that,” said Isaac Calvin, 16-year-old John W. North high School student. “I want to go to a school mainly for sports and that’s why I am here.”

Many high school students showed their school spirit by wear-ing their school shirts and the energy was high at 10 a.m. When asked if they were excited to attend because they got to miss school, the room echoed with a resounding “YeS.”

Joy Masha was the featured key-note speaker. She stumped guests by asking them the title of the CSUF president. Students ran to the stage and a senior from John W. North high School said “Dr. Milton A. Gordon,” the correct answer. Masha said that the point of the exercise

was to use resources in order to find answers for the future.

Masha invited students to take part in exercises. In one of them, she asked students to jump halfway across the room.

“If an opportunity is presented to you, don’t take a small jump, don’t take it lightly,” Masha said. “You know you can make it all the way over here the first time.”

Representatives of the various colleges at CSUF explained their purpose on the colleges on campus to high school students.

“I came because I was selected as one of the students by my counselor because last year I had a high GPA,” said La’Miya Smays, 14-year-old Compton high School sophomore. “I want to be a lawyer. I want to help

families and deal with divorces.”After introductions, half of the

students were invited to take cam-pus tours while the other half stayed to listen to pre-admissions presenta-tions and a student panel. Informa-tion was provided on financial aid opportunities, admission require-ments for four-year universities and campus life.

Black sorority and fraternity lead-ers, as well as CSUF clubs and or-ganizations, were present to provide students with information on how to get involved on campus.

“A lot of times in life when we are supposed to do something, we do just enough. But all of you know you have it in you to jump from there to all the way over here,” Masha said.

The media and entertainment in-dustries have portrayed Native Ameri-cans as people who wear feathers, live in tepees and ride horses.

Stereotypes such as these mislead and damage the image of Native Americans today.

In his lecture, Native Me: The Sto-ry Through My eyes, Benjamin hale spoke of his struggles growing up as an urban Native American and how society has treated his culture in the Women’s Center Thursday.

hale, 52, of Riverside, is a descen-dant of the Navajo nation, and belongs to four different clans. hale explained that growing up Native American was not easy as other children would tease him by making “whooping” sounds.

“one of the most damaging ste-reotypes (cowboys and Indians) came from the silver screen. Most of them were untrue,” hale said.

hale recounted the story of his fa-ther, who was literally pried from his grandparents’ arms to go to a Catho-lic boarding school as part of Califor-nia’s compulsory education laws. The school confiscated anything pertain-ing to the Navajo and punished the children if they spoke in their native tongue. The children didn’t know about Thanksgiving or Christmas and tried to relate it to their knowledge of the Navajo.

hale’s father, along with other Na-vajo children, did not see their fami-lies for eight to 10 years because they could not afford to travel home. Their parents could not visit since they only had wagons and horses.

“That was the beginning of Indian genocide, killing them for land,” hale said.

During his lecture, hale explained the symbols that were placed on the table. he referred to them as instru-ments because he continues to use

them in his life. Some of the items included sage and tobacco, which Na-vajo people use for medicine.

Tobacco is especially important in the Navajo culture. Tobacco is used to find each other when they are lost, as it is a tool given from the creator. hale never became a smoker because he knew that tobacco was sacred and how people abuse its power.

other in-s t r u m e n t s included an eagle feather, horse hair, deer skin and drums. hale explained that all parts of an animal are used. hale finds it funny that people today are into the green movement since Native American culture has been recycling and re-using products for years.

hale picked up the drums and started softly playing, singing a tradi-tional Navajo song. Afterward, hale talked about the importance of the elements: earth, water, fire and air.

“The earth is literally our mother,” hale said. “She provides everything for us.”

Although hale went to refrigera-tion trade school, he said he some-

times wishes he had studied to be-come a tribal lawyer.

“We’re actually the only ones who truly own land,” hale said. “We’re still fighting today out in the courtrooms. There’s more fighting now than in the last 200 years. I think that’s great.”

hale now works at the American Indian healing Cen-ter in Whittier, which was set up for the Native Indian com-munity, but serves all people.

Rosalina Camacho, coordinator for the Womens’ Cultural Research Center, ex-plained the impor-

tance of spreading awareness of Na-tive American culture.

“A lot of people don’t really recog-nize how many Native Americans are around us,” Camacho said. “There are 144 students on campus who identify as Native Americans.”

Michelle Bloemhof, 19, a sopho-more pre-nursing major, said hale made her look at her life as an Ameri-can in a different way.

“Native Americans live their lives differently, it seems more natural and fulfilling,” Bloemhof said. “It makes me want to be Native American my-self.”

Health

The car in front of you is driving 10 miles under the speed limit, and you yell every profanity you know while flashing your middle finger out the window.

You have three midterms all in the same day.

Bills pile up while your stack of money keeps lowering.

Your employer is working you over-time while you’re a full-time student. Needless to say, life is stressful.

Stress is found in our day-to-day lives. What we don’t realize is how damaging stress is to our health.

Stress can bring on health disorders such as: heart disease, skin rashes, di-gestive disorders, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, substance abuse, fam-ily dysfunction, emotional and anxiety disorders and insomnia.

You won’t develop one of these dis-orders after an hour of being stressed, but they can develop over the years of a stressful life.

The earlier you cope with stress, the less likely you will be to developing a health disorder.

Recently in one of my classes I watched a movie on stress and how it can negatively affect your health. It re-ally stressed me out.

The movie focused on the hierarchy of our society and how this impacts our stress level.

For example, at a large company people who hold low-level positions were found to have much higher stress levels as opposed to those who were in higher positions.

We might not be able to change the way our society works but recognizing

stress within ourselves and being able to take the time to deal with it is a step in the right direction.

Soon we will all be entering the workforce (hopefully). Stress is one of the most common risk factors in work sites.

I found some alarming statistics as-sociated with stress and working in the textbook Worksite Health Promotion by David Chenoweth:

– 25 percent see their job as their greatest life stressor

– 80 percent feel stress on the job– 40 percent feel their job is extremely or very stressfulSomething that we all need to real-

ize is that we are the only ones who are in control of our lives and ultimately, our stress levels.

Here are a few ways to cope with stress:

Exercise – Instead of letting all of your stress sit and accumulate in your body, let go of it. Participating in at least 30 minutes of physical activity three times a week can reduce your stress levels.

Nutrition – I can not stress (no pun intended) how important a healthy diet is.

Eating right will help your body cope with the stress easier. Simple healthy choices such as eating breakfast (a healthy one of course) and maintain-ing smart food choices throughout the day will help keep your body willing and able to fight off stress.

Sleep – Sleep fuels your mind and body and not getting enough of it can cause an increase in your stress levels.

Yoga – Meditating will allow your-self to be absent of thought and create a moment in your day when you can have pure solitude and peace.

I hope I didn’t stress you out with this article. The goal to stress manage-ment is a balanced life.

Once you identify the sources of stress in your life, take action and change them.

“Stress is not what happens to us. It’s our response TO what happens. And RESPONSE is something we can choose,” said Maureen Killoran, certi-fied clinical hypnotherapist.

Peace, love and recycle!

Addiction and substance abuse are what most non-homeless peo-ple assume are the causes of why homeless people are displaced, therefore, justifying themselves to coldly turn away and say, “Those bums need to sober up and get a job.”

Let me ask you this: how do you know they’re drinking, and how do you know they’re not working?

Then let me share some ba-sic facts with you that shouldn’t be news to most, but I think are readily overlooked as to why many people have become homeless.

On the average, what I’ve found is that people want to think the worst about why homeless folks

are living out on the streets so they have an excuse for not doing any-thing to help them.

The number of homeless peo-ple has increased due to the high number of foreclosures and a lack of affordable housing and housing assistance, which causes them to rent.

A minimum wage job is not enough to pay for a one or two bedroom apartment, let alone food and the cost of daily living.

There is increased poverty due to low paying jobs with more companies outsourcing to other countries, resulting in cutbacks and layoffs.

The high cost of health care, which is not as stable as it used to be from employers, is also to blame.

Many jobs require their em-ployees to work a certain amount of hours a week or they risk losing their health benefits or may not qualify for benefits if they’re part-time workers.

College graduates with bach-elors degrees or higher are having difficulty finding a job in their fields as well, resulting in taking low-paying jobs and having to pay back student loans as well as pay for their basic needs.

Funds for public as-sistance and programs designed to help poor people find jobs have de-clined.

In this growing popula-tion and bad economy, we have more poor people.

Instead of investing more mon-ey in those existing resources, we give aid to programs for people who migrate here and struggle to make it.

You tell me. What’s wrong with this picture?People with disabilities who are

either physically or mentally chal-lenged as well as the mentally ill find limited amount of work, if any, that can support them.

The programs that are available have limited finances and resourc-es.

Single female-headed house-holds who have jobs that pay low wages with no benefits add to the rising child poverty level.

Battered women who must choose between living in an abu-sive relationship or become home-less, especially those who have children, also contribute to the problem.

There are not enough shelters and programs to assist these wom-en to get out of their destructive environment and prepare them for

being the sole provider.“Many people who are addicted

to alcohol and drugs never be-come homeless, but people who are poor and addicted are clearly at increased risk of homelessness,” according to the National Coali-tion for the homeless.

Imagine that.There are alcoholics, drug ad-

dicts and batterers who manage to work, own a home or pay for rent, bills and have families who aren’t homeless.

And through their medical in-surance they can get, if they so choose, into treatment, therapy and receive help from rehab, which homeless people aren’t so readily able to do.

And it’s another cost to the sys-tem. Because those kinds of dys-functional people are the ones rais-ing children (tomorrow’s adults), they’re someone’s bosses and they are doing it under the guise of a more socially acceptable environ-ment.

Meaning, they aren’t homeless.

We should support stem cell researchFRANCINE RIOSDaily Titan

I have very strong feelings about the support of stem cell research, and I should – I have a friend whose life could be dramatically changed from the benefits of stem cell therapy.

Imagine you’ve just turned 16 and are right in the middle of your soph-omore year of high school.

You’re a gorgeous, vibrant, am-bitious girl who loves to cheer and swim, donate your time to worthy causes, and just won your first beauty pageant – and a scholarship to attend the college of your choice along with it – the key to fulfilling your dreams and making the picture of your fu-ture in your head a reality.

You’re busy, but your grades are stellar; you love your life, your friends, and you never forget to say, “hey mom, how was your day?” as soon as you get home. You’re basically on top

of the world. Then, in the blink of an eye, you lose it all. You can’t walk, you can’t see, you can’t talk.

Even your teeth are missing. Mom no longer hears your voice to ask how her day was when you get home.

You lose just about everything, ex-cept your life, because you were too stubborn to die at 16 and not leave your mark on the world.

You fought, and you continue to fight each day in your rehabilitation therapies, with a gracious smile.

In a nut shell, this is the story of my friend, Sarah (name has been changed for anonymity). her life has never been the same since her car ac-cident.

The accident was not a result of any reckless drinking, or texting, or making phone calls (we know be-cause she was with her family right before she got in her car, and her phone records have been reviewed). None of us know how this devastat-ing accident happened, an accident

that has left Sarah with a severe brain injury, but we do know that with the continued support of stem cell research, one day, Sarah might just have the chance to live her life the way she’s always envisioned.

And as her friend, nothing could give me more happiness in my en-tire life than to see this amazing girl, someone so undeserving of what happened to her, thrive.

I know that I am not alone. Mil-lions of Americans suffer from de-bilitating health struggles like Par-kinson’s, Alzheimer’s, spinal cord injuries and even brain injuries.

With these people come countless of other family members and friends who want nothing more than to have this person back to normal.

Upon researching this topic fur-ther, I learned the other side of the argument: people feel that embry-onic stem cells are human organisms, and it is not right to experiment on human beings, or stop human life

from developing. If this is true, then how is someone who is already liv-ing and can benefit from stem cell therapy any different? Is it fair to see their lives, in a sense, end too?

There are countless fully-developed human beings who willingly give of themselves – blood, bone marrow, organs – to help others.

Embryonic stem cells are essen-tially no different.

They may not have the full-blown ability to make the decisions them-selves, but that is only in a “what-if” situation and essentially irrelevant, as the cells are not full-blown humans.

Judge Royce C. Lamberth’s latest decision to reverse funding of stem cell research is a shame. Science is there to improve the lives of others, and cutting off funding to do so in-hibits that purpose.

Nothing is ever impossible, Sarah taught me. To me, stem cells could be the bridge between dreams and reality.

Homeless people lining the streets of downtown cities in Southern California are not necessarily there because of drug and alcohol abuse, but because of the state of the job market.

Local artists sold rows of brightly-colored, hand-painted, hand-crafted skulls and other related items to honor the Dia de los Muertoes tradition at the eighth Annual Noches de Altares celebration in Santa Ana.JANELLE CONNER / Daily Titan

For those who have experienced the death of a loved one, the pain of loss can be impossible to handle. That is, unless the pain can be channeled into something beautiful, something sacred or, most difficult yet, some-thing celebrated.

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican holiday in which families and friends gather to honor and remember those who have died. As per tradition, families build altars containing the deceased’s favorite foods, drinks and items in life, as well as memorabilia. The purpose of this is to encourage the souls of the dead to visit and hear the prayers from their loved ones.

Santa Ana held its eighth Annual Noches de Altares (Night of Altars) in honor of Day of the Dead on Satur-day, welcoming over 8,000 attendees to face paint booths, food, musical performances and local crafters selling their arts.

Also at the festival were over 75 families who had come to create altars for deceased loved ones.

One such person was Patty De La Torre, 46, Santa Ana resident, who re-counted the story to those who asked of her 16-year-old daughter, who was murdered nine years ago.

“She took off with a friend– I didn’t know who he was– and was murdered. The police department never put her into the missing persons database. Ev-eryone just assumed she had run away and wasn’t coming back,” De La Torre said. “But that wasn’t like her. She was not like that.” Santa Ana residents dressed in traditional Mexican garments and had their faces painted white and black to look like skeletons.

JANELLE CONNER / Daily Titan

After two years of silence, De La Torre did not give up her search for her daughter Lily. While watch-ing America’s Most Wanted during an episode where he spoke to parents of murdered children, an 800 number came on the screen for parents with missing children.

“Something possessed me to call that number. They put a webpage (up for her) and everything. She went worldwide,” De La Torre said. “Two weeks later, they took the webpage down. It turned out that they had identified her. She had been dead for two years.”

Her daughter had been buried in Mexico, and after a long struggle with the Mexican government, they finally had her body exhumed and brought back to Orange County where the coroners redid the autopsy, but by that point, little could be found.

De La Torre described a suspect, a man who lives in Inland Empire, continually lied to the police about his relationship with Lily and nearly murdered his current wife. She waits for justice to be served, but until then, appreciates that her altar raises aware-ness.

“It makes me feel like her life wasn’t in vain if a girl can see it and under-stand, ‘Hey, you know what, that could be me right there,’” De La Torre said. “It helps me because it’s another life that’s not going to go through the same trauma that my daughter did.”

Only a few altars down the block was that of Maria Hurtado, a quiet woman with children of her own. The altar was decorated with photo-graphs, flowered crosses and incense that perfumed through the afternoon the evening.

“This (altar) is for my mother. She passed away with aplastic anemia five years ago. This is the third time we made it, my daughters actually came to me (with the idea),” Hurtado said.

Her soft voice sounded like a whis-per beneath the blaring music and the dancing masses. Nearby, Plumas Madrigal, 44, had no problem ex-plaining his altar to the crowds that gathered around.

“This is a synchronization of Me-morial Day and the Day of the Dead. This is in honor of the fallen,” Mad-rigal said. “The first one from Or-

ange County, Jose Angel Garabe, six months after he died, his mother bought a house with the money (the government gives) the fallen soldier’s family. Because of all the predatory lending and all the scandals, she is losing her home as we speak. Today, I told Loretta Sanchez that at Cal State Fullerton. Today, we honor 52 Gold Star mothers.”

Like many of the other altars, this one had skulls and skeletons, candles lighting them and casting eerie shad-ows. What made it different, however, was that it was decorated with Ameri-

can and Mexican flags and camou-flage.

“The objective is to say I’m an American of Mexican ancestry, I’m proud of my roots and I’m going to show you how much of an American I am by showing you all my brothers that have died (for America),” Mad-rigal said.

Through the evening, crowds took photos of altars, walked around with skull makeup or posed with giant, looming skeletons in dresses, all while commemorating those who were lost, not in sadness, but in catharsis.

Cost-Friendly TheatersSARAH FERNANDEZFor the Daily Titan

Whether it’s action or drama, pop-corn or M&M’s, the movies and the snacks are quickly becoming more affordable for the average college stu-dent or anyone on a budget in these difficult economic times.

A trend of discount theaters is be-ginning to emerge across Southern California. One such example is the newly opened Brea 5 Cinemas in Brea off of Imperial Highway. This theater offers matinee prices at just $3 and evening tickets for $3.75.

During WWII, the movie theater was a place to escape the negative news and enjoy an evening with friends or family. In the ‘60s, for most of our parents it was the drive-in movie for $5 a carload. And while the drive-in for most cities is a thing of the past, today’s tight budget is no different for the average consumer, a bargain is a bargain. Alex Pollin, a Cal State Fullerton business major was very ex-cited about the idea as well.

“I think they (discounted theaters) are great, it provides entertainment and an enjoyable show for cheap, es-pecially for those people who love the arts and like watching shows all the time,” Pollin said.

Most of the movies shown at dis-count theaters are those currently shown in other movie theaters, with a few weeks difference in the opening dates. If you can wait a few weeks, you can save several dollars for your patience. The theaters are well-main-tained and offer the same services and concessions as the traditional large theater chains, again without the high prices.

Another such theater in Orange County is the Brookhurst 4 Cin-emas located on West Ball Road in Anaheim. The tickets are a mere $2 for matinee and $2.50 for evening shows. Ashley Heffner, a 22-year-old business major, was honest about never experiencing the benefits of a discount theater.

“I don’t think I have ever been to a discount theater, where is the closest one?” Heffner asked.

As the economy continues to show sluggish signs of recovery, if any, these types of theaters will definitely catch on. Most consumers are becoming savvy in seeking out affordable enter-tainment and tightening their belts. With these trends likely to continue, discount theaters, restaurants and other retail outlets will be the benefi-ciaries and thrive.

While we all have cut corners here and there due to the current econom-ic crisis, the stream of movie-goers still remains fairly constant. Omar El-Rousan, a 21-year-old bio chem senior, shared his thoughts on the fad sweeping across the nation.

“I think it is great. All movies should be seen in the theaters instead of home video or a pirated copy of a film, whether it is a good or bad movie,” El-Rousan said.

Just as the generation of the Great Depression sought to elude their troubles in the “escape films” of the era, so too in our own times our gen-eration enjoys films which take us away from reality, or that allow us to vicariously experience another life or time.

Daytripper

Having traveled a lot through our beautiful state, I’ve grown accustomed to the tendencies of the highways. I know what lane to drive in when a busy junction is approaching. I know what free-ways to avoid when I’m headed toward Downtown Los Angeles.

When I got the chance to travel down to beautiful Solana Beach by train, none of that mat-tered.

Instead I sat back and enjoyed a train ride that took a mere hour and a half, leaving Fullerton Sta-tion with my backpack full of jelly sandwiches and my laptop.

I made sure to get a window seat, knowing we would be rid-ing past the Pacific Ocean.

Even though I’ve seen it mil-lions of times, I was still in awe as the Amtrak zoomed by.

When the train arrived in So-lana Beach, I was greeted with one of the more beautiful and modern train stations. Designed by architect Rob Wellington Quigley, it was built in 1986 to replace the old station in nearby Del Mar.

I quickly headed toward the Solana Beach Visitor Center and got my street map and visitors guide. One of the areas Solana Beach is most famous for is Ce-dros Avenue, known for its great shopping, exceptional restaurants and enchanting art galleries.

Also on Cedros is one of my favorite music venues, the Belly Up, where some of reggae’s top artists have rocked out.

Stroll down Cedros Avenue and one of the many art galleries will surely draw you in. A per-sonal favorite was Moana Design, where a few New Zealand artists showcased their original works.

WestEdge Gallery was interest-ing as it is also a working artist’s studio, meaning paintings were in progress when I walked in.

After walking Cedros for a few hours, heading in and out of small boutiques, I decided to make the quarter-mile walk down to the beach where the sun was just about to set. On my way, I entered Fletcher Cove Park, a gateway to Fletcher Cove.

The park had a play area for children, a basketball court and a grassy knoll for sunbathers.

Next to the lifeguard station was an area with picnic tables, overlooking the cove.

As the sun set, I felt at ease, content with life. It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen in California. People, tourists and locals made their way to the viewing deck. Seeing the bright orange of the sun reflect off the gentle waters of the Pacific was a sight I surely won’t forget.

After sunset, I made my way to Tidewater Tavern for dinner with a few friends who live in the area. A hole-in-the-wall restau-rant, it was full of locals meeting for drinks after work, as well as families out for dinner.

It was a great way to end my day in Solana Beach.

Saying goodbye to my friends is always tough, but saying good-bye to such a quaint beach town was equally difficult, especially when I thought about how much I didn’t see.

The train ticket was only $36 roundtrip, a cheap alternative to fighting I-5 traffic.

Solana Beach was a great choice for a day trip, and I can’t wait to take my Fullerton friends to show off this wonder-ful town.

The relocated Hibbleton Gallery is now off Santa Fe Street, not far from its previous location, and now shares space with two other galleries.JANELLE CONNER / Daily Titan

HIBBLETON: GALLERY GATHERS COMMUNITY... Continued from page 1

At the original location off of Wilshire Avenue, Hibbleton opened its doors in 2008, and they were voted “Best Gallery” by OC Weekly in 2009. Their primary philosophy is to showcase a vari-ety of works that are not medium-specific.

On Friday, Hibbleton partici-pated in the Fullerton Art Walk, an event co-founded and orga-nized by La Tour. The gallery featured “Drift,” an exhibition of photographic works by artists Randy Martin and Marlon Geller.

The evening was full of vegan food provided by Orange County People for Animals, live music and hordes of people who love art and love what all three galleries have done for the community.

“It went really well; this is one of our biggest shows in regards to music with the art. We’ve had smaller music deals, like more acoustic style; this is the first time

we’ve had a full on band and were going to start doing that more of-ten,” Oldfield said. “This space feels a little better; it’s more off the beaten path.”

The promotion group Sounds Like a Movement helped organize the event for Hibbleton. They fo-

cus on bringing worthy organiza-tions together with local artists.

At the gallery opening, Sounds Like a Movement showcased 31 Bits, an international organization that helps sell recycled jewelry made from displaced women in Northern Uganda.

“We try to blend artists with

local causes to help build local communities up,” said Spencer Al-fonso, member of Sounds Like a Movement.

The combination of all three art spaces gives Fullerton an ex-perience that was severely lacking before, and although they are all joined together, each offers an un-likey perspective on art.

“Everybody has a slightly dif-ferent identity. Hibbleton is more of a communal space dedicated to art,” Magoski said.

Everyone involved in this move-ment seems to have to common goal of doing good for the people around them. The promotion of an artist district in Fullerton shows that art can make a difference.

“Art is a binding force of com-munity and by bringing artist to-gether and giving people a place their allowed freedom of expres-sion. There’s tolerance for all view points and within that communi-ty can be born. It’s the thing that unites us,” Magoski said.

The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team is back in the Big West Confer-ence Tournament, but not in the way they hoped. The Titans lost Nov. 6 to No. 7 UC Irvine 3-1.

Even though the Titans lost, they are the four seed going into the tourna-ment Wednesday.

In the first half the Titans were able to counter attack numerous times, and at the 25-minute mark a Titan forward was fouled in the UCI penalty box re-sulting in a penalty kick. Sophomore midfielder Oscar Aguero put the kick into the top left of the net to give the Titans a 1-0 lead.

With 10 minutes to go in the half senior forward Celso Alvarez had a brilliant chance at goal, but his shot was stopped. UCI was able to strike with three minutes to go in the half when Titan junior goalkeeper Trevor Whiddon went down on a push from a UCI forward. The Anteaters were able to convert on the opportunity with the ball barely going over the goal line. The Titans played a good 45 minutes, but needed to play a complete game.

“We have got to play a full 90 on Wednesday night. The first half we showed we could play with them and beat them,” said Kevin Venegas junior midfielder.

HOCKEY: FALLS BEHIND IN UPSETTING LOSS TO UCLA, 5-4

The Bruins completely changed their game in the third period, be-coming the attackers. Shot after shot came at Miller, still in goal for the Titans. The Bruins got another shot passed him when Panzica scored his second goal of the night, a short-handed goal.

UCLA came right back at Miller when junior forward Daniel Vaynter scored, making it a one-goal game with just over four minutes to go. UCLA attacked the Titans, eventu-ally pulling their goalie with 34.2 seconds to go.

The Bruins scored with the ex-tra man on the ice and 20 seconds left in regulation when defenseman

Maxence Hilleret struck with a slap shot past Miller to tie the game at four.

“We got lackadaisical,” Galaviz said. “They outshot us from the end of the first period.”

The Titans never had a chance to shoot in overtime as UCLA scored just 19 seconds in when forward Michael Carder scored the game-winning goal, Bruins 5-4. With that, the Titans meltdown was complete.

“Mentally we weren’t prepared,” said junior defenseman Jason Hol-mes. “We just didn’t finish.”

The Titans play USC at Anaheim Ice Arena Friday at 7 p.m. and Satur-day against the Bruins once again at 7:30 p.m. at the KHS Ice Arena.

CSUF still advances to Big West semifinals despite losing on Saturday to UC Irvine. ALAYNA DURAN / Daily Titan

The second half began with UCI once again in possession and eyeing a second goal.

Whiddon made a save but the ball went to an Anteater forward who vol-leyed the ball and sent it past Whiddon for a 2-1 UCI lead.

With 20 minutes left in the match UCI struck again off an awkward goal. Whiddon made a diving stop but the ball went off his head, off the post and right to UCI senior forward Amani Walker for the final goal of the night. Whiddon, who is playing hurt, will be ready for the third meeting Wednesday night.

“We’ve got some people playing banged up out there, but we should be ready to go on Wednesday. Their goals were kind of weak, a ball goes off my head, then off the post, then right to them. They didn’t call the push off on the first goal where I went down ei-ther,” Whiddon said.

Titan senior midfielder Antonio Vernaschi believes in his team.

“We need to come out and play 100 percent the entire game. If we come proper with our tackles and play ag-gressive on defense, the game can be ours,” Vernaschi said.

The Titans play at 7 p.m. Wednes-day at UCI, and with a win will move on to a Saturday night game where they will face the winner of the UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo matchup.
