Orange County ska band Suburban Legends will be rocking the Becker Am-phitheater with their sig-nature blend of ska covers and original compositions Wednesday at noon.

The concert will be the last performance of the

semester for Associated Students, Inc.’s Wednesday Concert Series at the Beck-er Amphitheater, and part of a lineup of events for As-sociated Students’ Produc-tions Week.

Associated Students Concert Coordinator Doris Munoz said there will be pizza provided at Wednes-day’s concert for people who attend.

At the end of the concert, there will be an opportuni-ty to win movie tickets.

“We’re hoping for a big crowd,” Munoz said. “We’re giving out free food; and where there’s food, there will be college students.”

Munoz said she’s also hoping that because the Suburban Legends are well known locally, many people will turn out to the Becker to see them.

The band is originally from Orange County. They got their start in the Hun-tington Beach area and

have since gained a follow-ing from ska music enthusi-asts in Southern California and across the country.

The band has released a number of albums, the most recent of which was 2013’s Dreams Aren’t Real But These Songs Are, Vol. 1.

A $150,000 donation from the William Lyon family will go toward moving the Center for Oral and Public History to a state-of-the-art archiving facility in a renovated sixth floor of Pollak Library.

The Center for Oral and Public History preserves nar-rated autobiographical re-cordings, including those of Lyon himself, a businessman and former Air Force Re-serves brass. Lyon’s father, Abraham, was interviewed in 1975 by Gary Shumway, Ph.D., the founding director of the center.

The Lyon family, fu-eled by William’s long ca-reer in home building, has been devoted to philanthro-py in Orange County and has pledged money to many other organizations, such as the Segerstrom Center for the Arts and the Boy Scouts of America, said Natalie Fousekis, Ph.D., director of the Center for Oral and Pub-lic History and associate pro-fessor of history.

The $150,000 donation, however, is the family’s first major gift to CSUF, she said.

The center has raised over $920,000 in cash and pledges over the last three years in an effort to reach a $1.25 million

fundraising goal to meet the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) challenge grant.

Challenge grants from the endowment are meant to pro-vide long-term support for humanities programs and re-sources, including projects like the renovation for the Center for Oral and Public History. Over the past five years, the endowment has received an average of 103 applicants per year for the grant, but has awarded just 18 a year on average.

Fousekis’ hope is to raise $3.5 million for a near-ly-17,000-square foot, cli-mate-controlled facility to protect the center’s historic compilation of recordings as well as house the University Archives of Special Collec-tions, also located in Pollak Library.

The center’s research area will be named “The Wil-liam Lyon Family Reading Room.”

The challenge was assist-ed by the Cal State Fuller-ton Philanthropic Foundation Board of Governors.

The center, part of the De-partment of History and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, is home to the largest oral history ar-chive in California. Includ-ed in that archive is a col-lection of preserved stories of special individuals and communities.

Protestors injured inhit-and-run

Botched raid leaves two dead

Police have yet to find a match to a par-tial license plate in a hit-and-run accident in Riverside that oc-curred outside the Mis-sion Inn’s annual Festi-val of Lights, according to CBS.

The victims were part of an anti-police brutality protest of about 50 people.

Witnesses said three to four people were struck by a dark-col-ored BMW, but no one required hospital at-tention. Police said the car may have run over two of the demonstra-tors’ feet, and one pro-tester suffered minor injuries.

Protesters said demonstrations were peaceful when the hit-and-run occurred, but other witnesses say the activists were de-liberately blocking traffic.

An Asian American couple returned home to Pasadena Thursday after being detained in Qatar for nearly two years.

Matt and Grace Huang, who were first arrested in 2013, were cleared in the death of their adopted daugh-ter and allowed to re-turn to the U.S.

Officials claimed the Huangs starved their 8-year-old daughter, Gloria, with the intent of selling her organs in the black market.

Despite a botched autopsy, the couple was convicted of child endangerment after officials refused to be-lieve that the couple’s daughter died of an eating disorder.

An appeals judge overturned the con-viction last week.

Two hostages were killed in a failed U.S. raid on al-Qaida mil-itants, according to CNN.

The Friday raid in Yemen resulted in the deaths of Ameri-can Luke Somers and South African Pierre Korkie, which were confirmed Saturday by a senior Defense De-partment official.

President Barack Obama approved the Navy SEALS’ raid af-ter getting information that Somers was to be executed Saturday morning.

After a firefight broke out, an al-Qaida member shot Somers and Korkie.

Korkie and Somers were loaded onto a plane and flown to a U.S. ship. One hostage died before reaching the ship, the other af-ter the plane landed.

A story titled “Two teams advance to moot court nationals” erroneously ex-cluded a third team that advanced to compete at the national level.

Competitor Amanda Carreno’s name was misspelled in a courtesy photo credit

line. Additionally, a quote regarding the in-

dependence of Moot Court was taken out of context in a way which discredited contributions made by the team’s faculty advisor.

The $150,000 donation from the William Lyon family puts the center closer to building a new $3.5 million center on the sixth floor of Pollak Library.

COURTESY OF THE CENTER FOR ORAL AND PUBLIC HISTORY

Transparency was the topic of discussion at a Fri-day open forum prompt-ed in part by a Facebook group where disgruntled students shared their con-cerns about the visual arts department.

The group, CSUF Stu-dent Artists Value Educa-tion, promoted the forum in which students shared their concerns with Department Chair Jade Jewett and Vice Chair John Drew.

Students shared their concerns about splitting six-hour upper division stu-dio classes to three-hour classes twice a week.

Some students brought up the issue that the change has affected their work and internship schedules, as the split classes mean an ex-tra day on campus, which takes away from the time students can spend at out-side commitments.

There were some positive notes as well, mainly about the addition of a Cintiq lab, which offers state-of-the-art workstations and a vari-ety of new software.

Although they appreciate the new software in these labs, students said they also want a beginners course in the software to teach them how to use it. The popular-ity of the lab is great, Jew-ett said, but the fact that it’s new for everyone is a drawback.

The lab is open 24/7, al-lowing students to access computers and available software anytime there isn’t a class in the room.

Students also had is-sues with class times, with 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 4-10 p.m. classes now being held from 1-7 p.m., which allows students to take only one class a day. However, Jew-ett points out that logisti-cally it is easier for teach-ers who don’t want to work late at night and students who need to use the open computer lab.

“I also have to work with the preferred sched-ule of the instructors,” Jewett said. “You all need open lab time, how do we schedule? Because then you wouldn’t have any open lab time in the room if (classes) went to 10.”

The majority of stu-

dents were from the ani-mation and illustration de-partments. Rapid growth in the animation depart-ment, Jewett said, has left the department scrambling to keep funding up to pace with enrollment.

“The animation area has the blessing and the curse of having grown very quickly in a short time,” she said. “Since 2008, this major has really boomed. Unfortunately, the budgets haven’t boomed yet.”

Due to this lack of fund-ing, some classes were add-ed at the last minute, stay-ing closed until the minute the department received the sufficient funding and giv-ing students a short time to

orient their schedules. “Hopefully we can get

instruction money, but it hasn’t come yet,” Jewett said.

To combat registration issues, Jewett recommends taking a general education class concurrently with ma-jor-specific classes from the beginning. However, transfer students, who don’t have the option of spacing out their classes, comprise 65 percent of the depart-ment, Drew said.

In addition, she invited students to help contribute to the program by helping her find more teachers, a problem that contributes to the lack of classes. Jewett invited students to contact

their alumni friends who may be interested in teach-ing a class.

“According to some of the teachers, we need more professors who are quali-fied to teach these classes,” Jewett said.

Nevertheless, Jewett is optimistic about the pro-gram because it is success-ful where other programs are not.

“One of the best things about this program that I’ve learned over the last year at these national con-ventions is that we have the broadest range of programs still healthy. We have great facilities, and that distin-guishes our department na-tionally,” Jewett said.

Students call on administra-tors for transparency and changes to class scheduling

The center adds real val-ue to the campus, Fousekis said, but is outdated.

The center, currently lo-cated on the third floor of the south side of Pollak Li-brary, does not meet satis-factory needs to preserve their historic material, Fousekis said.

“(It’s) not a very grand space,” she said. “All of our archival materials, which some of them go back to the mid 1960s, are not in a climate-controlled

facility, which is best prac-tice for preserving old, his-toric material.”

CSUF adopted the cen-ter as a funding priority in 2009.

In 2011, the center re-ceived funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities Grant in the amount of $425,000, Fousekis said. That type of funding wasn’t available to the center before they re-ceived the grant, she said.

“It’s a grant that’s meant to inspire new giving, so they want programs like

ours who didn’t have a lot of fundraising experience before,” she said.

Following the demon-strations at the station, the Black Student Union and Afro Ethnic Student Asso-ciation (AESA) presidents

led a moment of silence and discussed the importance of their rally, being political-ly active and bringing the community together through awareness about bringing about social change.

The Black Student Union is planning more events around Black History Month in February, but no specifics have been announced. For now, the union is focused on bringing awareness to

incidents when they feel the black community has not re-ceived justice.

“I would basically like to see everybody just come to-gether and be able to have that in their minds that

they’re about to make a dif-ference; there’s about to be a change. I want them to also be a part of making the change and getting things done,” Mbanu said.

The Black Student Union

encouraged an Instagram hashtag #CSUFBSU during the rally to share pho-tos. Future events by the union will be shared on the CSUF Black Student Union Facebook.

Protest: Faculty joined student march

Students snooze in flash napGenerally, etiquette dictates that nap-

ping at school is reserved for areas that are unobtrusive and provide some privacy.

But etiquette went out the window at precisely 11:20 a.m. Thursday when

students en-masse used the seats and floor of Steven G. Mihaylo Hall as a good place for a nap.

The “flash nap,” a lethargic spin on the “flash mob” trend, in the foyer of Mihaylo Hall was organized by the university and the CSUFNaps Instagram account. Stu-dents were encouraged to lie down for a

nap when lullaby music started and, once the music ended, get up and head to class as if nothing unusual had happened.

Those who were not aware of the flash mob-style nap stood around the napping students in a state of pleasant surprise.

The flash nap gave students a lightheart-ed way to bond, said Chantell Padilla, a

psychology graduate student. “I think it brings kind of everyone to-

gether and creates a campus camarade-rie,” Padilla said.

The event played into students’ need for—and lack of—sleep, she added.

“It’s great, I think we all need naps,” Padilla said.

Students participated in the “flash nap” Thursday in the foyer of the Steven G. Mihaylo Hall. Students were encouraged to come out and, once a lullaby began to play, nap wherever they were, then stand up and move along as if nothing unusual had happened once the music ended.

Trombonist and Musical Director Francisco Torres will join Cal State Fullerton’s Jazz Big Band and the Fullerton Latin Ensemble for a concert Tuesday in the Meng Concert Hall. The two music groups will be lead by Bill Cunliffe and Chuck Tumlinson. This event will be the last concert of the fall 2014 music season before the Deck the Halls concert.

MARIAH CARRILLO / DAILY TITAN FILE PHOTO

The band’s music typi-fies the energetic and up-beat sound that’s common-place in the ska genre.

The Suburban Legends are well known for their covers of tracks that have become part of the cul-tural lexicon, especially songs from Disney movies; songs like I Just Can’t Wait to be King, Under the Sea and the Duck Tales theme song.

“I’m pretty sure they’re going to have to throw

some of their Disney cov-ers in there,” Munoz said of the band’s potential setlist.

But Munoz said she’s most excited about hav-ing a local band play in the county where they first got started.

“They are locally known, so they know that their hometown would love to have them,” Munoz said.

After their concert Wednesday, Suburban Leg-ends will play another local concert on Dec. 30 at the Anaheim House of Blues.

The Fullerton Jazz Big Band and the Fullerton Lat-in Ensemble will perform Tuesday at Clayes Perform-ing Arts Center’s Meng Concert Hall.

Trombonist and Musical Director Francisco Torres will join as special guest for the concert.

Torres is the musical di-rector for the Grammy Award-winning Poncho

Sanchez Latin Jazz Band. Torres has performed

alongside Latin greats such as Celia Cruz, Spanish Harlem Orchestra and has recorded songs with Mi-chael Buble, Dr. Dre, Busta Rhymes and Los Lobos.

Having him for the con-cert Tuesday will make for an interesting musical blend.

The performance will be the last of the year for the Fullerton Jazz Big Band and Fullerton Latin Ensemble.

The Fullerton Jazz Big Band won’t perform again until March, when they perform alongside the

Fullerton Jazz Orchestra. Bill Cunliffe and Chuck

Tumlinson will lead both the Fullerton Jazz Big Band and Fullerton Latin Ensemble.

Cunliffe is a Grammy Award-winning arranger and record producer known for his jazz, classical and pop fusions.

Cunliffe has his own Latin band where he pays

homage to his Latin jazz affinity. Past recordings in-clude Bill in Brazil, Imag-inación, his concerto for trumpet and orchestra La Banda, as well as his

three-movement work Nos-talgia in Corcovado. Cun-liffe may pull from his Latin jazz experiences as he leads the performance Tuesday.

Past Fullerton Latin Ensemble performances

have blended progressive jazz harmonies with Af-rican-based rhythms for a unique and satisfying lis-tening experience.

The Fullerton Jazz Big Band blends smooth har-monies, infectious rhythms and medium to up-tempo swings.

Sounds of funk keep the energy alive on many of their characteristic sounds.

For a preview to the sounds of the Fullerton Jazz Big Bands, listeners can visit their official Face-book page for archived live recordings.

Fullerton Jazz Big Band and Latin Ensemble’s per-formance will begin at 8 p.m. and end at 10 p.m.

Single tickets are $10 at the door. Discounted tick-ets are available for $8 as advance admission entry for students, senior citi-zens, CSUF faculty, Alum-ni Association members, OLLI and support group members.

Tickets can be purchased online at the Clayes Per-forming Arts Center box of-fice website.

Music Pass subscribers may redeem one credit for this performance.

Anaheim’s new transpor-tation center seeks to solve a problem the city doesn’t have.

The Anaheim Region-al Transportation Inter-modal Center (ARTIC) is now fully operational as of Dec. 6, with a grand open-ing scheduled for Saturday. The 67,000-square foot de-pot is covered in lights and can be seen glowing from the CA-57 freeway between Honda Center and Angel Stadium.

However, the new trans-portation center is the last thing Anaheim needs. It’s an unnecessary cost to the city, and its only purpose would be to replace a ful-ly functional transportation station.

The center is expected to cost the county $187.8 mil-lion, funded mostly through a voter-approved half-cent sales tax that goes to-ward transit improvements. At the rate it’s going, the price tag will increase for taxpayers.

It will cost more than $3.6 million to maintain and operate ARTIC through the end of the fiscal year in June. As of now, ARTIC’s only definite revenue is the $510,708 in annual rent col-lected from the four conces-sionaires, according to the Orange County Register.

Although there were oth-er attempts to bring in reve-nue, so far they have failed, leaving the transit station to open in debt.

A naming-rights partner has yet to be found, which

the city was depending on as the primary source of income for the center. Last month, Anaheim’s Plan-ning Commision also re-jected plans for an 84-foot digital billboard in front of the center and along the freeway, citing the citywide ban on billboards which has been in place since 2006.

Originally expected to be a financially independent transportation station, this lack of revenue no doubt will place a further finan-cial burden on the city of Anaheim and its taxpayers.

Not only that, but the proj-ect should have never gone through in the first place.

Originally, ARTIC was developed to serve as a sta-tion for California’s high-speed rail, a still-uncertain statewide project intended to link Northern and South-ern California.

However, changes to the high-speed rail’s overall plan in 2012 took Anaheim off the route, instead requir-ing travelers who wish to visit Orange County to ride the high-speed rail to Los Angeles and take the slower

Metrolink from there. Rather than abandon its

plans for ARTIC, Anaheim decided to build the trans-portation station anyway.

It currently hosts Am-trak and Metrolink trains, OCTA buses and the Ana-heim Resort Transit. It will additionally offer access to shuttles, taxis, bikes and buses.

As helpful as that is for travelers, this new center replaced a fully functional one less than a quarter mile away that offered similar services without the high

price tag.The former Anaheim

Metrolink Station, locat-ed 1,000 feet to the west of ARTIC, closed last Friday. There was nothing wrong with the station, but the completion of ARTIC made it redundant.

Anaheim officials are convinced that this new station will increase the amount of passengers vis-iting the city to commute. ARTIC is expected to bring in 10,000 daily board-ings, four times the num-ber of boardings at the old

station.With so many more vis-

itors, this will only further congest the area where it sits between Angel Stadium and Honda Center. Traffic is already a problem when both venues have events. One can only imagine how a steady flow of 10,000 commuters everyday will affect it.

Between the lack of reve-nue and extra traffic, ARTIC, for the time being, seems to be nothing more than a forced and ill conceived use of taxpayer money.

ARTIC was a poor idea from the startAnaheim’s new transit station is a $187.8 million solution to a nonexistent problem

The Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team fell to the Pepperdine Waves 74-62 Saturday in their first game at Titan Gym since Nov. 22.

The Titans shot 38 per-cent from the floor and an abysmal 15 percent from beyond the arc.

After beginning the game 2-for-3 from deep, the Titans ended with a 1-for-17 stretch.

The Waves were locked in all night from deep, shooting an impressive 50 percent.

Senior Alex Harris had another big night, scoring a game-high 26 points.

Seventeen of his 26 points came in the sec-ond half, but his offensive prowess was not enough to lead the Titans to victory.

Harris finished the game with seven rebounds and three steals, proving once again he can be a factor on both sides of the court.

He credits his condition-ing throughout the season for contributing to his suc-cess on defense.

“We run a lot in practice throughout the season, so I need to get to the point where I can be able to play on both sides of the court,” Harris said.

Steve McClellan was a solid complement to Harris on offense, posting the first double-double of the sea-son for the Titans with 12

points and 10 rebounds.“Steve established him-

self tonight as a formida-ble foe inside in the paint,” Head Coach Dedrique Tay-lor said.

McClellan became the physical presence down low that the Titans have lacked all season.

His physicality showed when matched up against Pepperdine’s go-to guy Sta-cy Davis, who was held to 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting.

The Titans’ shooting woes continued, so the team will need McClellan’s strong play to continue moving forward in order to bring a physical presence against bigger opponents.

The Waves ended with two big runs at the end of both halves.

With four minutes to go in the first half, Har-ris made two crucial free throws to bring the Titans to within two.

“I thought tonight was a game of two very good teams who were trying to impose their will on each other,” Taylor said. “I thought their will outlasted us throughout the course of the game, especially in cru-cial parts of the game.”

One of those crucial mo-ments came after the two free throws by Harris.

Jeremy Major and Ama-di Udenyi made two unan-swered 3-pointers to help the Waves end the half on an 8-0 run.

With 16 minutes remain-ing in the game, the Ti-tans pulled together a 13-3 run.

The defense forced four

turnovers during the run, leading to six points.

It was a momen-tum-shifter that had the fans at Titan Gym roaring with excitement.

It was moments like this that showed the team’s po-tential moving forward.

The Titans have a small-er lineup than most teams, but with speed and quick hands, the defense can use their size to their advantage.

“Tonight we found our-selves in spurts, but they made a winning play and we couldn’t respond,” Tay-lor said. “We need to find our rhythm offensively as a whole.”

Fullerton cut the deficit to three points with eight minutes remaining.

Waves guard Shawn Old-en made all three of his 3-pointers in crunch time to quiet the Titan fans and put the game away.

The Titans travel to Sacramento State Thurs-day to face the 4-3 Hor-nets, who are led by guards Dylan Garrity and Mikh McKinney.

The Hornets are cur-rently on a two-game los-ing streak with losses to Abilene Christian Univer-sity and the Titans’ Big West rival UC Irvine.

The No. 12 Cal State Fullerton men’s hockey team split a pair of games against San Diego State over the weekend.

The Titans were coming

off a tough loss against the No. 4 team in the west, Boise State, the team that eliminated them from re-gionals last season.

No. 14 San Diego State was coming off a 4-0 shut-out victory against Oregon, a team CSUF beat 5-3 ear-lier in the season.

Fullerton was able to bounce back from the

tough Boise State loss to beat the Aztecs 4-1 at the KROC Ice Arena.

Trevor Wada was solid in net for CSUF, allowing just one goal. Wada was allow-ing 5.3 goals per game en-tering play.

Unfortunately, the Ti-tans were unable to earn the sweep this weekend, losing to the Aztecs 5-2

Saturday at the East West Ice Palace.

“In both games, we were too inconsistent. There’s moments where we looked great and others when we looked downright aw-ful,” Wada said. “We had so many opportuni-ties to finish them off, but we let them hang around, and when that happens,

anything can happen.”The Titans are 7-6 at

home this season. They have allowed 93 goals on the year while scoring just 73.

They play Chapman on the road Friday and re-turn home to play rival Cal State Northridge Saturday, a team the Titans lost to in overtime on Nov. 8.

“We need to be more dis-ciplined on both ends of the ice and stay out of the penalty box,” Wada said. “We need to play every shift like it’s our last.”

After the game against CSUN, the Titans do not play again until Jan. 9 at Northern Arizona, who beat CSUF twice at home this season.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

Professional opportunities are promising, even if the background stress doesn’t magically disap-pear. No matter how many commitments you have on your plate today, you still should be able to find time.

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

You have everything in place to create a magical day, so take the good times as they come now. However, there’s no reason to be overly con-cerned about what’s around the bend.

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

An unusual constellation of events could pull you into an emotional exchange today. Al-though you might choose to lightheartedly avoid this type of interaction at other times, you’re ready to express what’s in your heart.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

Although you may be surfing waves of un-expressed feelings, they’re not strong enough to tear you away from the sweeter side of life. However, your fear of change could prevent you from having the most memorable experience possible.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

Good news already is heading your way, but you must be receptive or it might pass you by unno-ticed. Romantic love is possible, but the rewards may be less emotional now than practical.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

There’s no use to stress about your inconvenient attractions today; you might as well go ahead and express them.

Your emotional awareness often holds the keys to your happiness. However, achieving material suc-cess can be a more immediate problem from time to time. Today, the two are linked; do whatever makes you feel good about yourself.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

Your key planet Jupiter receives a rejuvenating boost of love from flirty Venus now. Even if you’re having a tough time getting into the hol-iday spirit, it’s nearly impossible to remain in a negative place.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

A luxurious sense of satisfaction temporarily releases you from a stressful situation. Your co-workers and superiors see you as more graceful and charming today.

AQUARIUS(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18):

If you bump into instant karma today, reality will likely rule in your favor. However, it’s not wise to push your luck too far. Unfortunately, if you attempt to take unfair advantage of anyone, the unpleasant reaction may be immediate.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

If unexpected events recently shocked you awake, it’s time to loosen up and relax again. Enjoy your new found freedom by being ap-preciative to the positive reinforcement and en-couragement that is coming your way.

The Titans were unable to maintain their positive momentum Saturday in a 86-50 blowout loss at the hands of the South Dako-ta Coyotes at the Dakota Dome.

The Coyotes dominated from the opening whistle, beginning the game on a 21-2 run.

Nicole Seekamp capped off the Coyote run with three consecutive baskets.

Amanda Tivenius merci-fully ended the onslaught by making a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to 16.

The basket stopped the bleeding, but only temporarily.

After back-to-back failed 3-point attempts from se-nior Tailer Butler, Head Coach Daron Park called a timeout with the score at 30-8.

Senior point guard Chante Miles made a layup following the timeout, but South Dakota responded quickly.

Kelly Stewart made a 3-pointer just nine seconds after the Miles layup.

On the ensuing posses-sion, Samantha Logan missed a 3-pointer, but senior forward Kathleen Iwuoha grabbed the offen-sive rebound and scored.

The dreadful shooting from 3-point range con-tinued, sending the Titans into halftime trailing the Coyotes 47-20.

Fullerton shot just 3-of-17 from behind the arc and just 25.8 percent from the field.

Only four Titans scored in the first half, compared to nine Coyotes.

Miles led CSUF with 11 points and was the only Ti-tan to make more than one shot in the first half.

Iwuoha had a game-high six rebounds in the open-ing 20 minutes.

Fullerton had eight turn-overs in the half, compared to just four for the home team.

Stewart had 12 points off the bench for South Dakota and Seekamp had 11 points on 80 percent shooting from the field in the half.

“Obviously I’m tremen-dously disappointed in our

effort today. South Dakota is a really good team who plays extremely well at home, we just didn’t match their toughness, plain and simple,” Park said to Ful-lertonTitans.com.

The Titan offense im-proved dramatically in the second half.

They shot 40 percent from the field and 36.4 per-cent from 3-point range.

Unfortunately for CSUF, South Dakota did not take its foot off the gas.

They shot 48.3 percent from the field and made 5-of-12 3-point attempts.

A positive takeaway for Fullerton was Hailey King’s offensive perfor-mance in the second half.

The junior had 13 points off the bench and was 4-of-5 from the field, making all three of her 3-point at-tempts in the half. King played a season-high 23 minutes.

“Hailey is a tough kid who has provided us with some solid minutes defen-sively the last few weeks,” Park said to FullertonTi-tans.com. “It was so good to see her be confident of-fensively today.”

King played in all 30 games for Fullerton last season and started 26 of those games, but has seen much less playing time this season.

The Titans have some time to regroup and pre-pare for Fresno State Sunday.

Fresno is the last stop on Fullerton’s longest road trip of the season. The Bulldogs are 4-3 on the season and undefeated at home.

Fresno beat the Titans 68-57 last season at Titan Gym. Miles had a team-high 16 points and King had six rebounds.

After the Fresno game, the Titans make their long-awaited return to Ti-tan Gym against North Da-kota State on Dec. 19.

The Cal State Fullerton baseball team welcomed Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Los Angeles Hyun-myung Kim to Goodwin Field on Fri-day as part of his visit to campus.

Kim was presented with his own Titan jersey at home plate by Head Coach Rick Vanderhook and CSUF Athletics Director Jim Donovan.

The Consul General posed for pictures with the team and staff members. He also offered the Titans some advice during his visit with the squad.

The visit was part of Kim’s trip to the campus of CSUF where he gave a speech on “Making Waves and Friends With Cultur-al Diplomacy” at the Titan Student Union.

The presentation focused on the “Korean Wave” and how its global influence is affecting the world beyond pop culture.

His inspirational talk was accompanied by a short video and followed by a

Q&A session.The jurisdiction of the

Korean Consulate General in Los Angeles, where Kim

is primarily based, encom-passes all of Southern Cal-ifornia, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico.

It serves as an important gateway for linking Korea and the United States.

The four-time national

champion Cal State Ful-lerton baseball program will represent the United States at the 2015 World

University games from July 3-14 in Gwangju City, South Korea.

The 2015 Summer Games in Gwangju City will have U.S. representation in up to 21 sports by 550 people, which will be the largest American team in the his-tory of U.S. participation in the event.

In comparison, the 2013 American team had 400 athletes and staff in Russia.

The Titans will also host Korean Professional Base-ball League member NC Dinos on Feb. 23 at Good-win Field following Fuller-ton’s first weekend home series of the 2015 sea-son against the Stanford Cardinal.

NC Dinos were found-ed in 2011 and played their first season in the Korean Baseball Organization in 2013.

NC Dinos play their home games at Masan Baseball Stadium in the city of Changwon, Gyeong-sangnam-do, South Korea.

The Titans are coming off their 40th consecutive winning season and 30-win season in the program’s NCAA Division I history.

Fullerton advanced to its 23rd consecutive NCAA Tournament in 2014.
