The Cal State Fullerton wom-en’s soccer team dropped an in-tense defensive match against UC Irvine yesterday at Anteater Sta-dium by a score of 1-0.

This continued a streak of close, low-scoring games for the

Titans, whose offense continued to struggle against an aggressive Irvine defense.

The Anteaters’ lone score came in the 36th minute of play, when senior forward Natalia Ledezma was the recipient of a well-placed corner kick by Mady Solow. She was able to head the ball into the back of the net for her sixth goal of the 2013 regular season.

After that play, neither team was able to muster much offense on the afternoon, leading to a relatively uneventful second half

of play for the team’s goalkeepers.CSUF continued its offensive

struggles, as they have not sur-passed one goal scored in any game since their Oct. 4 victory over the University of Hawai’i, which ended 2-1.

They have relied heavily on solid defensive play to hold op-ponents to one goal or fewer in 18 straight matches on the season.

Irvine goalie Corey Tobin only had to make two saves on the day, as the Titans struggled to move the ball and get their offense roll-

ing throughout the game.CSUF goalkeeper Lindsey

Maricic also played well between the pipes for Fullerton, record-ing five saves during the game and only allowing Ledezma’s first-half goal. Unfortunately, the offense was not able to make up for the early score and her record dropped to 5-6-5 on the season.

UCI outshot the Titans 9-7 overall and held the advantage in corner kicks 5-2, although neither team was able to take advantage of most of those opportunities.

The scrappiness and intensity of the match is evidenced by the Anteaters’ 15 fouls, compared to 12 for the Titans.

Despite the tough loss, CSUF was still able to qualify for the Big West Women’s Soccer Tourna-ment due to timely losses by Long Beach State and UC Santa Bar-bara. Irvine remained the second seed in the conference heading into tournament play.

Fullerton fell to 8-6-5 on the year, and 3-3-2 in conference play. Even with their average re-

cord against Big West opponents, the Titans’ 11 points are good for fourth in the conference, just ahead of UC Davis who finished fifth with 10.

CSUF will open their postsea-son play with a match against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Thurs-day at Titan Stadium. In their only previous matchup this sea-son, the Titans fell 1-0 in a tightly contested road game against a stingy Mustang defense.

Pumpkins soared across the field north of the Titan Gym Saturday as 17 teams shot for first place at the sixth annual Pumpkin Launch.

Two Cal State Fullerton teams used slingshot-style launchers to accurately lob their pumpkins at small wooden castles that served as targets. They took first and second place.

The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) clutched victory for the first time since they began competing. They chalked their victory up to the quick wit and improvisation it takes to be an engineer.

After the first round of launches, a strut broke in the seat that holds the pumpkin in their slingshot. Unable to repair it, the team had to rethink their aim in order to hit the target.

Competitors spent several weeks building slingshots and trebuchets for the competition. During the event, each team had five rounds to hit targets and score points.

The Discovery Science Center presented the competition in part-nership with CSUF, drawing around 8,000 people to the field.

SWE received first place, while the Institute of Electrical and Elec-

tronic Engineers (IEEE) came in second.

Victor Delgado, assistant dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, said SWE has placed every year since they began competing in 2011.

Lexi Schaffer, a senior mechanical engineering major, has been a part of the team since SWE’s first com-petition.

In 2011, SWE placed in second and in 2012 SWE finished in third, Schaffer said.

“We decided to go with the sling-shot because we knew it was more accurate the first time,” Schaffer said of the team’s launcher. “The first year we said we just want to enter, we just want to launch pump-kins. We don’t want to place or any-thing. We just want to go out there and have fun.”

She said the team has continued to use the slingshot mechanism and has made small changes to the design each year to improve its ac-curacy. The team changed the seat, which holds the pumpkin, and the tubing.

The IEEE, the second-place win-ners, switched out tubing, replaced old rope and added pulleys on the sides of their slingshot.

Former IEEE president Bill Craig said IEEE altered their launcher to make it possible to change the angle,

placing for the first time after years of competing.

“Originally it was just kind of rig-ging (the launcher) in a not-so-very-engineered fashion, but (this time) they actually had it down more to a science and less to an approxima-tion,” Craig said.

SWE President Alexandra Dominguez said she hoped children at the event would become more in-terested in engineering.

“I’ve seen a lot of students get ex-cited about STEM, but the problem

is that a lot of them see science and math, not engineering,” she said. “So this is a good way for them to see the engineering aspect; seeing us all work together.”

Pumpkins are launched every November to encourage children to participate in science, technol-ogy, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities. The event also encouraged children to seek future careers in STEM related fields.

SAMUEL MOUNTJOYDaily Titan

A 21-year-old male from Gar-den Grove intentionally crashed his car into Langsdorf Hall and fled the scene at around 11:30 p.m. on Friday night.

Eyewitnesses estimated that the car was traveling between 60 and 80 miles per hour when it struck the curb at the Nut-wood Avenue intersection, said University Police Capt. John Brockie.

The car went over the curb and ran through citrus trees and two light poles before colliding with the building and catching fire. The small fire was extin-guished by University Police of-ficers and firefighters from the Fullerton Fire Department.

The driver, who is not a Cal State Fullerton student, fled the scene and was followed by wit-nesses. He was apprehended by University Police at Dan Black Hall and taken to UC Irvine Medical Center for psychologi-cal evaluation and to treat lac-erations that required stitches.

University Police Sgt. John Bedell could not verify wheth-er or not alcohol was a factor. It is not yet clear if he will be charged with a crime.

No passengers were present in the vehicle.

The vehicle had heavy dam-age on its front end, all airbags were deployed and every win-dow appeared to be shattered. Oil and gas spilled onto the side-walk where Langsdorf Hall and Steven G. Mihaylo Hall meet.

There appeared to be no structural damage to the pillar that was struck, Bedell said.

Workers from the Environ-mental Health and Instruc-tional Safety department were on the scene to deal with live electrical wires exposed by the downed light poles.

Cal State Fullerton’s chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers pulls down on the trebuchet, priming it for launch.

ETHAN HAWKES / Daily Titan

Jonathan Markley, Ph.D., an associate professor of his-tory, will offer his insight and expertise as a historian on Big History, a show on His-tory Channel’s sister network, H2.

In the show’s first episode, which premiered Saturday, Markley described the impor-tance of salt in human history and how life requires it.

Markley will be explaining the different concepts the Big History movement uses, such as how miscellaneous things like salt, horses and tin but-tons connect to historic events.

According to the series’ website, the show asks ques-tions like “Did New York be-come America’s biggest city because of salt?” or “How does the sinking of the Titan-ic power your cell phones?”

Big History uses science to link history with human sto-ries.

It looks at history as a time-line, a series of events stretch-ing over thousands of years from the past. Those events make a web of connections that interact from the begin-

ning of time, linking together to create everything we have ever known.

The show uses different subjects and connects them to astronomy, biology, chem-istry and geology.

Big History was a move-ment started by David Chris-tian, a Russian historian and president of the International Big History Association, who also appears on the show.

“He’s the one who coined the term ‘Big History,’” Mar-kley said.

Markley describes Chris-tian’s idea of Big History as a modern creation story.

Christian began teaching a Big History course at Mac-quarie University in Australia in 1989, looking at history all the way from the big bang to the present.

Markley worked as a teach-er’s assistant in Christian’s class while he was working on his Ph.D.

He came to CSUF in 2006 and uses Big History teaching methods in his own history classes, starting at the big bang and going through 13.7 billion years.

Markley was asked by the History Channel in 2011 to appear on another History Channel show, History of the World in Two Hours.

The History Channel liked the show and asked the pro-duction company, Flight 33

Productions, to pitch another series.

Flight 33 has been interview-ing Markley on a wide range of subjects that will appear on sev-eral of the 16 episodes.

Markley said he is most excit-ed that the show will popularize the idea and the concept of Big History.

The goal of the show is to in-troduce and make people aware about the “Big History Project” and the learning approach it takes.

The movement was funded by Bill Gates, who liked the idea of teaching history in a big way, taking a subject and connect-ing it all the way back to when it originated.

Gates has been developing Big History classes for high schools at no cost and so far 70 schools teach Big History classes. Gates plans to keep expanding to more schools.

The project also provides a free online course to understand the story of our universe and hu-manity.

Markley got his master’s de-gree in ancient history in his native New Zealand. He then traveled to Hong Kong and taught high school Chinese and Japanese history for four years. He received his Ph.D. in ancient Chinese history at Macquarie University.

The Big History series will air multiple times throughout the week on H2.

Companies recruit CSUF’s best and brightest

PepsiCo Inc., UPS Inc., Pen-ske Motor Group and Nation-wide Financial Corp. were among the firms actively re-cruiting students Friday at the first Sales Symposium and Ca-reer Fair in Steven G. Mihaylo Hall.

The Cal State Fullerton Sales Leadership Center, in conjunc-tion with the Center for Entre-preneurship, hosted the event, which included an hour-long resume and application letter workshop, followed by an indus-try information session.

Following a “speed-dating” roundtable structure, students during the industry informa-tion session were seated at tables with a representative from one of the participating companies for a question-and-answer session.

The representatives spoke to students about their industry, the organization they represent-ed, and the positions that they were looking to have filled.

After several minutes with an employer, the event organizer, Mark Mantey, co-director of the Sales Leadership Center, in-structed the company represen-tatives to move to the next table of students.

“Our whole concept within the center is to build familiar-ization with great sales careers for the students,” Mantey said. He added that many students are often misinformed about the nature of sales jobs, and the center is trying to change commonly held misconcep-tions about the field.

“(Students) often think it’s only telemarketing, or only cold calling, or only commis-sion based,” Mantey said. “So what we are doing is creating awareness and giving them the opportunity to talk to compa-nies with great sales jobs.”

Mantey also said that de-spite the current economic downturn, CSUF graduates have reason to be optimistic about the job market.

“The companies that are here today, oftentimes they think of Cal State Fullerton as a tier one employer,” Mantey said.

Michele Chapman, who at-tended the event as a repre-sentative for Automatic Data Processing, Inc., said that her company thinks highly of CSUF graduates.

“We do really well at Fuller-ton,” Chapman said. “We think the students are impressive and well prepared.”

Matthew Nelson, 23, will graduate in December with a degree in business administra-tion with a concentration in marketing. He is hopeful that

the university’s high regard will lead to employment op-portunities.

Nelson, who currently works as an intern for a commercial finance company in a position he secured through the CSUF Career Center, said the event Friday was rewarding.

“It’s been a very eye-opening experience to just experience and see what all these compa-nies have to do,” Nelson said.

One company representa-tive, Gerardo Ayala of Penske Motor Group, said the event was also rewarding for those looking to hire students.

“We’re here because we are actually looking for tomorrow’s new leaders,” Ayala said to a group of students during one of the discussion sessions. “We’re looking for innovative people who will bring what they have learned here and bring it to the dealership and help us advance with the times.”

At the conclusion of the in-formational portion of the event, students were given an

opportunity to further net-work with the potential em-ployers over a complimentary dinner. Mantey and Chapman described networking experi-ences as something that would be key to future successes in any industry.

Though the Sales Leader-ship Center does not plan to host another event this semes-ter, similar events are hosted by various departments within the College of Business regu-larly. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the op-portunities, as they are likely to make great returns in future career options.

“The key point is that stu-dents should start early look-ing for internships and full-time employment,” Mantey said. “They shouldn’t be wait-ing until their second semester of their senior year.”

Dan Nasitka, the Discovery Science Center’s manager of pub-lic relations, said unlike other pumpkin launch events, this competition is about accuracy in-stead of distance.

Although many of the com-petitors were school-related clubs and organizations, some teams were made up of Orange County residents.

Trevor O’Neil, an Anaheim Hills resident, had his own entry for the launch, and assisted his two sons, 13 and 15, with their trebuchets on either side of his.

“They’ve always liked to build K’Nex and Legos and that sort of thing,” O’Neil said of his children, who now enjoy play-ing the popular building video game Minecraft.

One of O’Neil’s sons said for about six weeks, his team worked twice a week for three hours per day on their launcher.

The suspected gun-man behind a ram-page at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday is in critical condition, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Paul Anthony Cian-cia, 23, was shot in the head and leg by an LAX police officer and sergeant after making his way through Ter-minal 3, allegedly tar-geting Transportation Security Administra-tion agents.

Authorities found a note in Ciancia’s bag at the scene stating he was aiming to kill sev-eral TSA agents.

One TSA agent was killed and two were wounded, along with one civilian, who is in fair condition.

For the third time in history, Kenyans swept both men’s and women’s titles of the New York City Marathon on Sun-day, according to USA Today.

Kenya’s Priscah Jep-too won the women’s title with a time of 2:25:07. Jeptoo also received $500,000 for securing the World Marathon Majors women’s title.

Geoffrey Mutai, 32, took first place in the men’s race, finishing in 2:08:24.

The United States is the only other country to win both races in the marathon; that feat oc-curred in 1977.

This was the first New York City Marathon since 2011; last year’s event was cancelled due to Superstorm Sandy.

A 21-year-old man was arrested Friday af-ter turning himself in for a hit-and-run that resulted in the death of his girlfriend and inju-ry of her daughter, ac-cording to the Orange County Register.

Law enforcement believes Francis-co Montano either pushed Gloria Sanchez and her 13-month-old daughter out, or they jumped out of the moving vehicle. Police found them on West Edinger Avenue in Santa Ana around 8 p.m. Thursday.

Both were trans-ported to a hospital, where Sanchez died. Her daughter suffered cuts and bruises.

Montano is cur-rently being held on $200,000 bail.

In August, President Barack Obama announced a plan to ad-dress the nation’s crisis of college affordability and value.

Obama has has been working in conjunction with the United States Department of Education to decrease college costs and lower student debt.

Last week, United States Sec-retary of Education Arne Duncan said the department is working to make higher education more af-fordable by creating a college rat-ing system.

Magazines like Forbes and Time already have a system on rating colleges, but this plan would have the federal govern-ment giving their own ratings to the nation’s schools.

The system is designed to better inform students and encourage institutions to improve. It also in-

tends to hold schools accountable for their performance in order to bring down rising tuition.

To best develop this rating sys-tem, the Department of Educa-tion is reaching out to the country.

Department officials are gath-ering public ideas that will help to creatively address three key is-sues: college access, college afford-ability and outcome.

“Within the framework of these three principles, we’re interested in ideas and suggestions from all stakeholders,” Duncan said.

The department plans to en-gage as many stakeholders and individuals as possible. They are looking for ideas to help them bet-ter understand how to promote college affordability and value, while ensuring access and success for disadvantaged students.

Duncan said the United States spends $150 billion a year in stu-dent grants and loans. The college rating system seeks to spend the nation’s tax dollars differently.

“Every single penny is based upon income,” Duncan said. “None of it is based upon outcome … That’s just part of the problem.”

Early next year, the Department of Education will host a technical symposium, gathering external experts to deliberate on these is-sues in greater depth.

The department plans to pub-lish a survey and use its feedback to create proposed college ranking metrics that will be shared in the spring for public comment.

“We absolutely know that there are no silver bullets or easy solu-tions to increasing college value and affordability,” Duncan said. “But we also know that we can’t let the challenges facing higher edu-cation become a discussion and an excuse for inaction.”

In September, the department released a financial aid shopping sheet, which aims to simplify the information prospective students receive about college costs and financial aid. The shopping sheet strives to make it easier to com-pare institutions and make more informed decisions about where to attend school.

The department also issued a college scorecard. It compares tuition costs, graduation rates, loan rates and other important

factors that can help prospective students decide on an institution.

“The new college rating system will take these initiatives further by providing useful data that will allow American students and their families to compare and choose colleges and make better, more rational choices,” Duncan said.

Over time, Duncan said he will begin to move funding towards universities that are increasing their assets and keeping their costs down.

“The sad reality is that attend-ing college today has actually nev-er been more expensive,” Duncan said.

Duncan said he knows how important it is to get an educa-tion today, and that it is also vital to get good value for your money. He said the new rating system will give students access to more infor-mation, and help them to make better choices.

“I’m absolutely convinced be-yond a shadow of a doubt that we have the best system of higher education in the world,” Duncan said. “But we have a broken sys-

tem, a very inefficient system, and a tremendous lack of transpar-ency.”

Duncan and other department officials are traveling across the country to participate in events on the proposed college rating sys-tem.

Moving forward, the depart-ment hopes to generate discus-sion by participating in town hall discussions and round table meetings. They will also visit com-munity colleges, high schools and four-year universities to gather compelling input and ideas.

In addition, the department will host four public forums in California, Iowa, Louisiana and Washington D.C.

For those unable to attend, their ideas may also be submitted to collegefeedback@ed.gov.

Transcripts from the forums, as well as the president’s plan to im-prove college value and affordabil-ity, will remain open to the public on the department’s website.

Duncan said the depart-ment’s target date for the pro-posed college rating system would be fall of 2014.

The cries for support of gun con-trol are growing even louder after last week’s events at the Los Angeles Inter-national Airport.

Speaking on CBS’s Face the Nation yesterday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein said the shooting at Los Angeles Interna-tional Airport underscored the im-portance of an assault weapon ban, in addition to other restrictive measures.

Feinstein was referring, of course, to 23-year-old Paul Ciancia, who is being charged with murder and com-mission of violence at an international airport after killing one and wounding three on Friday.

Ciancia could face the death penalty after killing a federal officer, TSA of-ficer Gerardo Hernandez.

With the shooting at the Washing-ton Naval Yard occurring just two months ago, this incident could and should force Congress to make a re-newed effort towards strengthening the country’s gun control laws.

My colleague, Elliot Lam, argued for the need to improve the background check system in place to ensure the buyers of deadly weapons have noth-ing in their record that would raise any red flags.

I, however, call for something else.One of the biggest controversies sur-

rounding gun rights lies in the Bill of Rights, more specifically the Second Amendment.

The Second Amendment reads, “a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

Though the amendment explicitly references the right to bear arms, it does so within the context of a well regulated militia.

This compound interpretation was echoed by the courts for most of the 20th century after the Supreme Court ruled in the United States v. Miller that the Second Amendment only pro-tected the use of weapons when used in an organized militia.

Still, the word ‘militia’ as it is writ-

ten in the Second Amendment gets tricky when we look at it in modern times. Richard Beeman, professor of history at the University of Pennsylva-nia, explained that may seem a strange concept to us today, but that was the way American armies were organized in the 18th century. Beeman said that the Bill of Rights never listed the right to carry AK-47s.

Many also forget the historical con-text in which the Second Amendment was written. Gloria Browne-Marshall, professor of constitutional law at

John Jay College, said the gun rights amendment was written as a way for American colonists to empower them-selves in an attempt to defeat the pre-eminent superpower of the time.

Barry Friedman, professor of law at NYU, believes the Second Amend-ment’s existence after the American Revolution was a way for states to be able to protect themselves against the federal government.

Akhil Reed Amar, professor of po-litical science and law at Yale Univer-sity, said that the Second Amendment was reconceptualized after the Civil War from a state right to an individual right. Amar questioned whether the Civil War construction makes sense today.

Evidence thus far suggests that the rights enshrined in the Second Amendment have changed over time. In the same way that it made sense to interpret the Second Amendment as a mechanism to protect states’ rights af-ter the revolutionary war, it would be equally befitting to reexamine the way we interpret the Second Amendment to protect innocent bystanders in the aftermath of mass shootings today.

In each generation that the Second Amendment was reinterpreted, it was done in a manner that consistently empowered citizens to meet the chal-lenges of the time. If we continue to use a 19th century interpretation of the Second Amendment in a 21st cen-tury world, the very amendment that had empowered us two centuries ear-lier will have the opposite effect of in-capacitating us.

Second ReadingsReinterpretation needed for a modern 2nd Amendment

The disparity of personal wealth and income amongst the richest and poorest Ameri-cans has become more visible than ever in the last decade, causing many to ask if the path-way to a middle class life is still as feasible as it once was.

Organizations such as the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) suggest emulating many other countries worldwide by adopting a flat tax rate for all individuals, but this will only exasperate the gap between the richest and poorest Americans.

As of 2013, the tax rate for the lowest bracket of wage earners stands at 10 percent. For top wage earners making over $400,000, the tax rate is 39.6. For organizations like the NTU, adopting a flat tax rate to even out tax rates would in-crease American competitive-ness in the world marketplace.

While this may seem fair, it is important to understand the reality of wealth distribution in the U.S. To be part of the top 1 percent, Americans must make over $394,000; Americans making over $114,000 fall into the top 10 percent of the total population.

Of the wealthiest Americans in 2012, the top 1 percent took in close to one-fifth of total household income, while the top 10 percent took in close to half.

Though growth in the top 10 percent has stagnated, the rich-est 1 percent reported a 95 per-cent income gain since 2009.

While anti-tax advocates like Grover Norquist claim Ameri-cans are paying too much in taxes, a report released by Re-uters showed that some of the highest wage earners are not paying their fair share.

In 2009, six families making over $200 million did not pay any income tax, while another 110 families from the top brack-et paid a tax rate of 15 percent or less. Reuters points out that the 15 percent tax rate is what someone making $61,000 would pay.

If you factored in the actual amount of taxes paid by the top bracket of wage earners, the effective tax rate would be 19.9 percent. That is the same rate someone making $110,000 would be taxed at. Reuters notes that the top 400 made five times as much every day.

The issue of whether the top wage earners in this country are paying too much in taxes has now become an issue of whether top wage earners are actually paying taxes at their designated rate at all.

The income of the top 10 percent of Americans will only continue to grow if current eco-nomic policies continue. Sadly, uproar against this growth has had little effect. Two years ago, protesters gathered in Zuc-cotti Park in New York City to protest income inequality. The movement, which later became known as Occupy Wall Street,

was quietly suppressed after the owner of Zuccotti Park deemed the conditions at the demonstrators’ camp too un-sanitary.

Occupy may have died, but the inequality that the Occupy protesters sought to bring at-tention to still remains. New strategies must be devised to combat the ever-growing pow-er of the top 10 percent.

The forces that are perpetu-ating this cycle of inequality may not respond to reason be-cause they are distracted by dollar signs, but perhaps they will take a lesson from history. At John F. Kennedy’s inaugu-ration, he said “if a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.”

“If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.”John F. Kennedy35th President of the United States

The stories of seven Angele-nos, along with the stories of countless others, are currently being told on stages across the country.

On Thursday, the East Los Angeles-based Chicano band Las Cafeteras will perform in the Quad as part of CSUF’s Dia de los Muertos celebration.

The stories are told through lively performances us-ing beats with rhythms and rhymes.

The band’s buoyant sound is complemented by members dancing off and on the stage.

On stage they dance zapatea-do, a type of indigenous folk dance that consists of rhythmi-cally stamping one’s feet.

The stamps punctuate every hit of the cajon, a percussive instrument whose name trans-lates to “crate” or “drawer.”

The song is familiar to those in the audience, even to those who have never seen the band before.

It’s a rendition of the popu-lar “son jarocho” song, “La Bamba,” with a rebellious touch of their own.

The band and audience sing:“Yo no creo en fronteras/Yo

no crea en fronteras/Yo cru-zaré/Yo cruzaré”

(“I don’t believe in borders/I don’t believe in borders/I will cross them/I will cross them”)

The performance is a meld-ing of past, present and words of hope for the future.

Every performance by Las Cafeteras is a cultural mani-festation—an interplay be-tween art and activism. They reshape tradition to fit mod-ern needs; they embrace the past while looking forward.

Each of the seven members contribute differently to their unique sound, playing an in-strument one time, and an-other when the occassion calls.

Hector Flores, Denise Carlos and Daniel French play one of the signature instruments in son jarocho, the jarana, which looks like a ukulele but has a fuller sound.

The three also share vocal duties. Jose Cano, a percus-sionist, maintains the beat by banging on the cajon.

Annette Torres plays the marimbol, a wooden box re-sembling a piano that is used in some Caribbean music, and dances on stage.

Leah Rose Gallegos and De-nise Carlos sing and dance in the zapateado style.

Las Cafeteras, named 2013’s “Best Latin-Alternative Band” by LA Weekly, met during son jarocho lessons at the Eastside Cafe in El Sereno.

The cafe is a community space that offers workshops on subjects such as folklorico and yoga, as well as English classes.

Son jarocho is a centuries old percussive style of folk music out of Veracruz, Mexico that draws from the relation-ship of indigenous, African and Spanish cultures during the time of European coloniza-tion in Mexico.

“The way we were taught in son jarocho, it’s like the music is a ceremony and the music is to be shared, with friends and families to be celebrated and through that you can build com-munity, you can build love, you can build ‘confianza’ (familiar-ity and trust),” said Flores, who sings and plays the jarana.

An integral part of son jaro-cho is the impromptu jam ses-sions known as “fandangos.” They exemplify the partici-patory nature of son jarocho, where anyone can join in to sing, dance and play.

“Music has a powerful place to play in that kind of move-ment building,” Flores said.

Las Cafeteras embody the participatory and communal nature of son jarocho interact-ing with the audience.

“What’s really special is when there is that connection,” Cano said. “Everybody who is a vocalist in the band are really good at addressing and con-necting with the crowd. It’s a really, really beautiful thing.”

Las Cafeteras fuse son jarocho with other genres such as hip-hop, ska and other Latin beats.

With instruments such as the jarana and the marimbol, it is no surprise that some are stuck on the aesthetic element of their performance.

“They are not sure what to make of us,” Cano said.

But soon after, upon hear-ing the messages delivered through the infectious beats, it’s obvious Las Cafeteras are more than just their music.

“We think that music is med-icine, and if music is medicine it can heal then it needs to go to people who need to be healed. A lot of the times that’s com-munities of color, working-class communities, immigrant communities,” Flores said.

The band gets their message across any way they can—Eng-lish, Spanish, even Spanglish.

The merging and f luidity of language is a natural way of communication for Chicanos, Flores said.

“For us, that’s how we are, that’s how we talk, that’s how we think, that’s how we dream, and that’s also how we sing and write our music,” Flores said.

The title track off their al-bum It’s Time asks the listen-er “When is it time for you?” Flores said. “It’s also a call to people to do whatever they have to do ... It’s time for peo-ple to do what they need to do to feel free.”

The lyrics cast accounts of rich settings and characters, ref lective of those on stage and in the crowd.

“Ya me voy” tells the strug-gles of families when faced with the decision of leaving home and taking the excursion

to the United States for a bet-ter life.

The spoken-word hip-hop hybrid “It’s Movement Time” recalls inf luential people and events in the history of people of color.

The song incorporates the stories of Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata fighting in Mexico for independence and the Mendez family in West-minster, who fought to end racial segregation in public schools in 1946.

A sense of celebration perme-ates through every song, wheth-er it is the ballad “Luna Love,” “El Chuchumbe” or the crowd favorite “La Bamba Rebelde.”

“After a Las Cafeteras show, I want people to leave with more questions than answers coming in,” Flores said. ”We want people to leave feeling proud about who they are. We want people to leave wanting to tell their story.”

Las Cafeteras’ music is mov-ing. It is forceful without being forced.

It compels the audience to move along with it not because the band is asking them to, but because they simply cannot help it.

Los Angeles-based indie-pop band Bad Suns will be performing at the Becker Am-phitheater Wednesday at noon.

The band consists of Christo Bowman (vocals and guitar), Miles Morris (drums), Ray Libby (guitar) and Gavin Ben-nett (bass).

“Our music is a thoughtful blend of everything that we love, with varying f lavors com-ing and going when appropri-ate,” Bowman said. “We love so many different kinds of music and too many different bands to compare ourselves to just one.”

The members of Bad Suns share a long history of per-forming together.

Bowman and Bennett have known each other since mid-dle school, while Bowman

met Morris during high school when they played in a different band together.

Bowman, Bennett and Mor-ris formed a band in summer 2009 and played local shows on weekends. Libby was in a few of the bands that per-formed with them.

“After a few years, as our tastes shifted, we decided to experiment with different sounds, and Ray caught wind of what we were doing and re-ally dug it,” Bowman said.

Thus, Bad Suns was born in 2012.

The band quickly garnered attention. Miles submitted the band’s demo, “Transpose,” to KROQ.

The song hooks its audi-ence in from the start with ooh ooh’s and head-bobbing instrumentals.

The band had forgotten about the submission until they received an email several months later telling them it would be played. KROQ start-ed to play “Transpose” on its Locals Only segment.

“It was pretty surreal for such a new band … I think that feeling definitely sparked some initiative into us,” Bow-man said.

Bad Suns spent most of 2012 struggling to find their sound, but the band was not easily de-terred.

“You’re constantly asking yourself, ‘Is this as good as it could be? Is this right?’” Bow-man said.

The band finally debuted their first single “Cardiac Ar-rest” earlier this year and re-ceived positive feedback. “Car-diac Arrest” was also released with a music video.

Their first single cemented the band’s sound, which Bow-man described as “energetic, rhythmic and led by melody.”

Bad Suns has played in sev-eral venues, including the Con-stellation Room in Santa Ana, the Mayan Theater in Los An-geles and most recently the Mercury Lounge in New York.

Bowman said that the band’s favorite venue is the intimate, acoustic-friendly Troubadour

in West Hollywood.Bad Suns will be perform-

ing at The Glass House in Po-mona this Saturday. They will be playing alongside Kiev, FM-LYBND and AJ Davila.

Bowman said if he were giv-en the freedom to pick which musicians or bands to play alongside with, his perfect concert lineup would include Vampire Weekend and Haim.

Bowman said that he has a blast playing every song live.

“‘Salt’ is definitely one that gets people dancing, and that sets a good vibe on stage. ‘We Move Like the Ocean’ always feels very triumphant at a good show,” he said.

Morris, the band’s drummer, enjoys playing “Twenty Years” and “Sleep Paralysis” on stage.

As for upcoming plans, Bad Suns will be releasing their EP in mid-February.

“It will be our first time ever officially releasing a body of work, and we can’t wait for peo-ple to hear it,” Bowman said.

As musicians who have been working hard for years, it was

a big accomplishment for Bad Suns to sign a record deal.

The band is scheduled for shows up and down the coast throughout the rest of 2013. Next year, Bad Suns will be hit-

ting the road for more touring.If you want to learn more

A second-half rally and last-minute drama propelled the Cal State Fullerton’s women’s basketball team to a two-point win over Cal State Dominguez Hills Friday night, as the Ti-tans won 45-43 and finished undefeated in exhibition play before they begin the 2013-14 regular season.

“I’m really proud of our kids, I’m proud of our fight, this early in the season to have the resiliency when you’re such a new team,” said Daron Park, the team’s head coach in his first year. “To be down 10 with six minutes to go and to get the stops you need on one end and get the scores on the other end, that’s definitely a positive take from this.”

The go-ahead basket for the Titans came after junior for-ward Kathleen Iwuoha picked up one of her nine rebounds on the night and sent an out-let pass to senior guard Alex Thomas, who drove the dis-tance cross-court and laid the ball in with 48 seconds remain-ing.

“Really, no one stopped me, no one came to pick me up so I just had the open layup. We practiced that a lot in practice and coach always gets at me about going until they stop me, so I had a perfect opportunity,” Thomas said about the decid-ing play of the game.

With the Toros looking to send the game into overtime, CSUF played smothering de-fense and denied ball entry to the game’s leading scorer Tay-ler Champion (15) as she looked to get the ball inside, where she had been terrorizing the Ti-

tans most of the game. Holding strong, the Titans caused the Toros to miss three consecutive shots and won the game by re-lying on their defense.

The Titans outworked Cal State Dominguez Hills and their zone defense in the sec-ond half by hurting them in-side and outscoring them in the paint 22-14. Returning from the team that went to the Big West Conference Tournament semifinals last season, senior forward Mya Oliver led the Ti-tans in scoring with 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

CSUF continually found the gaps in the Toros’ zone defense and fed the ball inside to Oli-ver as she punished them near the basket, scoring 10 of her 12 points in the second half.

“The guards basically found me and made perfect passes, and I just finished it,” Oliver said about her dominant per-

formance in the second half. “And it’s what we practiced in practice, so it was easy for me to get it going.”

Park said they were not re-ally expecting the Toros to use zone defense on them, but his team was ready for it.

“They went to the zone to try to make us make outside shots and we got layups on them. That’s a credit to our kids and I thought we executed really well,” he said.

Junior guard Chante Miles gave the Titans a first-half scoring spark off the bench as she dropped in all of her seven points in the half. The Titans needed her as they struggled in the first half as a team in scor-ing, shooting a lowly 25.9 field goal percentage (7-27), 18.2 percent from beyond the arc (2-11) and 28.6 percent from the free throw line (2-7).

Sophomore guard Hailey

King scored seven points, five rebounds and two steals, but her most crucial contribution came when she knocked down her only three-pointer of the night to tie the game at 43. The assist to King came from Thomas, who led the game in assists with five.

Sophomore forward Brian-na Barfield scored five points, while sophomore guard Annie Park sank two free throws for her two points.

To go along with her great rebounding and interior defen-sive effort, Iwuoha scored three points off the bench and led the game in steals, collecting four.

After trailing by one at the half, the Titans cleaned up their shooting a bit and fin-ished the game with a 34.6 to-tal field goal percentage.

Next for the Titans is their home opener against South Dakota on Friday at 7 p.m.

The Titans have home field advantage throughout this year’s tournament as a result of the Big West rotating stadiums each year for tournament play.

This should be advantageous for Fullerton; the team has an impressive 7-1-3 record at home, compared to just a 1-5-2 mark away from Titan Stadium.

This year’s tournament will present a redemption opportu-nity for the Titans, who won the regular season Big West title last year, but dropped the champion-ship game of the conference tour-nament to Cal State Northridge.

While CSUF might be viewed as more of an underdog this time around, they look to embrace that role en route to potentially gain-ing an NCAA Tournament berth.

It is clear that the Titans will have to improve their offensive output if they are going to have any type of postseason success.

Their defense seems up to the task of keeping them in the game, but timely scores can separate CSUF from the rest of the Big West Conference and elevate them into the NCAA Tourna-ment.

“Obviously defensively we’re doing a very good job, but we have to be better in front of the goal,” Head Coach Demian Brown said.

A late goal from junior mid-fielder Mark Vasquez was not enough for the Cal State Ful-lerton men’s soccer team as they fell 2-1 to UC Irvine Sat-urday.

Since playing to a 2-2 draw two weeks prior, the Titans and the Anteaters have been headed in opposite directions in the Big West.

Riding high with three con-secutive wins before the first match against UCI, the Titans went on to lose three straight matches.

In that span, CSUF fell from second in the Big West South Division to third with 10 points.

In the same span, the Ant-eaters have won three straight, including a win over the south division’s top team and the No. 5 nationally ranked Cal State Northridge Matadors.

Ahead of their match Sat-urday, the Anteaters were ranked No. 16 in light of their current form.

In the first half, the two sides appeared to be as evenly matched as the result in their previous match.

With shots even at 6-6, the Titans held a slight advantage in shots on target at 3-2 de-spite the Anteaters’ 3-1 advan-tage in corner kicks.

A lively half aside, neither team was able to breach the other’s goal.

Both teams would enter the interval even at 0-0.

But following the scoreless 45 minutes, UCI would not wait long to break the dead-lock.

Anteaters sophomore Mats Bjurman would open the scor-ing for his team in the 51st minute.

Latching on to a pass from junior forward Cameron Iwa-sa, Bjurman was able to deftly f lick his shot over rushing Ti-tan senior goalkeeper Bryan Escalante for his second goal of the season.

Down a goal, CSUF did their best to push forward for an equalizer, but was only able to manage a couple of corners

before their opponents struck again.

Following an infraction for a back pass, the Anteat-ers won a free kick inside the CSUF penalty area.

Having already scored, this time Bjurman laid off for se-nior forward Christopher Santana, who beat the Titan wall for his third goal of the season.

The strike in the 73rd min-ute put the UCI men up 2-0.

Down two goals to nil in the 85th minute, CSUF was able to pull one goal back through Vasquez’s strike. Following a foul from UCI, Vasquez de-posited a free kick into the upper left corner of Anteater goalkeeper Michael Breslin’s net.

The late tally aside, the Ti-tans were unable to muster much in response to the Ant-eaters as they failed to regis-ter a shot following Vasquez’s goal.

Escalante and Breslin both finished with four saves in the match.

The match’s final score would remain 2-1 and UCI finished with an advantage in shots at 16-9.

With the loss, the Titans have fallen in three straight matches despite being un-defeated in the four matches prior.

Following UC Riverside’s win over first-place CSUN, the Titans have now fallen to fourth place in the south divi-sion, below UCR.

Two matches remain for the Titans to fend off the High-landers for the south division’s third and final spot in the Big West Tournament.

First up for CSUF is a mid-week match with CSUN at Ti-tan Stadium Wednesday.

The Titans dropped a tough match with the Matadors 2-1 in overtime on Oct. 23.

Following their match with CSUN, the Titans will face the Highlanders on the road in what will likely be the match to decide the final team to qualify for the conference tournament.

In their previous match against UCR, the Titans fell 2-1.

“It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.” – Oscar Wilde

In their first and only exhibi-tion game of the 2013-14 season, the Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team blew out Red-lands University 108-77.

The victory at Titan Gym Saturday was also Head Coach Dedrique Taylor’s first game at the helm.

From the start, the NCAA Division III Bulldogs were no match for the Titans, who were quicker, bigger and more physi-cal in the game.

“We had some guys step up, make great plays for us with their energy and their effort and I thought we did some good things,” Taylor said. “I thought for the most part we came out with a purpose and played with a purpose.”

The Titans shot an efficient 56.6 percent from the field, while holding the Bulldogs to only 39 percent.

Much of the Titans’ scoring and efficiency came from in-side; they pushed around the Bulldogs with 62 points in the paint.

Rebounding was another ad-vantage for the Titans, as they almost doubled the Bulldogs 58-30 in the category.

Sixteen of 58 rebounds came on the offensive glass for the Titans, leading to a total of 15 second-chance points.

Leading the Titans in points, rebounds and field goal effi-ciency was returning starter and junior guard Alex Harris, who dropped in 22 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and shot an impressive 83 percent from the field on the game.

“My coach put me in the right spots, and in positions to do good things, and I just tried to make plays,” Harris said, emphasizing the team effort over individual performances.

One of Harris’ plays brought the CSUF crowd to their feet in the second half when he put back a miss and slammed it home for an emphatic dunk.

Unfortunately for the Titans and Harris, it warranted a tech-nical foul from the referee for unsportsmanlike conduct, but by then the Titans were up by 30 points.

Sophomore guard Jared Bran-don had a well-rounded perfor-mance for the Titans.

He scored 20 points on 7-of-9 shooting, grabbed six rebounds, had four assists and led the game with three steals.

“I felt good. I thought I started off slow, but my teammates stayed with me,” Brandon said. “They kept my confidence up, they kept moving the ball, and all the praise goes to my teammates.”

Junior guard Josh Gentry came off the bench to ignite the Titans; he added to 45 total points from the CSUF bench with 19 points of his own to go along with five rebounds.

Gentry shot seven of 10 from the field, including a perfect two-for-two from beyond the arc.

Other sparks off the bench in-cluded junior guard Chris Col-lins, who put in nine points and two rebounds in 10 minutes of action.

Freshman guard Sheldon Blackwell scored eight points and grabbed four rebounds.

Starting junior guard Michael Williams, who spearheaded the offense at times, left the game in the second half and did not re-turn.

Afterwards, Taylor said Wil-liams left the game as a precau-tionary measure due to cramps.

Even with the win, Taylor did not like the fact the Titans gave up 77 points, but that will come with a good perimeter shooting team who is trying to keep pace in a blowout.

“We’ve got to tighten up a lot defensively,” Taylor said. “Obvi-ously we gave up 77 points and that’s way too much for us and for us to have any chance at winning any games here.”

Even though the win was a positive, CSUF recognizes that it has a long way to go if the team wants to compete for the Big West Conference crown.

“We wanted to get this win, but we know we’re not done. We know we have to get better at cer-tain areas and (it’s) just a starting point,” Harris said.

For the Titans, they start off the season on the road, beginning with a game on Saturday, Nov. 9 at Montana State, followed by a trip on Nov. 13 to take on the Uni-versity of Seattle.

The Titans’ home opener is Saturday, Nov. 16 against Santa Clara University at 3 p.m.

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team trav-eled to The Pavilion on Satur-day afternoon to face UC Da-vis for a Big West Conference match, where they fell short in five sets.

This match was another nail-biter for the Titans as they came back from a 2-0 deficit before losing in a suspenseful fifth set.

After winning 25-20 in both the third and fourth sets, the Titans lost 16-14 in the fifth set.

This match evens the season series between the Titans and the Aggies, who last met at Ti-tan Gym on Oct. 4.
