Republican Young Kim defeat-ed Democratic incumbent Sharon Quirk-Silva by over 13 percentage points to take the 65th District in a competitive race for the California Assembly seat, according to first-day results.

The race was a pivotal one for the Democrats, as a victory for Kim meant a loss of the superma-jority in the state Assembly.

Before the midterm election, there were 55 Democrats sitting on the assembly, meaning they had the ability to bring in the 54 votes needed to override any bill with-out support from Republicans sit-ting on the assembly.

Republicans only needed to gain two seats in this election to break that supermajority. With Kim in the 65th District’s seat, the state GOP is one seat closer to breaking the Democratic majority.

The 65th District includes parts of Anaheim, Buena Park, Cypress, Fullerton, Garden Grove, La Pal-ma and Stanton. Although tradi-tionally Republican, the district was redrawn in 2011 following the passage of Proposition 20, which called for redistricting for the State Senate and Assembly.

Now the 65th is one of the most competitive assembly districts in

California, with 36 percent of res-idents Democrat, 36 percent Re-publican and 24 percent with no party preference. Another 4 per-cent fall in the “other” category. Kim won the June primary, tak-ing 54.7 percent of the votes to Quirk-Silva’s 45.3 percent. How-ever, the race became more com-petitive, attracting donations and

media attention from all over the state.

The assemblywoman-elect for-merly served under U.S. Repre-sentative Ed Royce as director of Community Relations and Asian Affairs. Kim is also a financial an-alyst and controller.

Mayor Doug Chaffee and Councilman Greg Sebourn beat out five other candi-dates in elections for Ful-lerton City Council.

Chaffee led Tuesday night by 5 percentage points over second place candidate Se-bourn, and by more than seven points over the third place candidate Larry Ben-nett. Sebourn led over Ben-net by 2 percentage points.

The other four candi-dates Jane Rands, Sean Paden, Rick Alvarez and Bill Chaffee trailed behind the three leaders. Rands, the closest in the race, was behind Bennett by over six points.

Sebourn plans to contin-ue his focus on the Fuller-ton police force, he said.

“One of the big things that got me interested in running for office was orig-inally the infrastructure, just dealing with it and then later on it was issues within our police department,” Se-bourn said.

Mayor Chaffee and May-or Pro-Tem Sebourn were both elected to city coun-cil in 2012 during the re-call election that expelled Pat McKinley, Don Bank-head and F. Richard Jones in the aftermath of the Kel-ly Thomas beating.

Chaffee has enjoyed the support of recently oust-ed assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, The Fullerton Observer and the Fullerton Police Officers’ Associa-tion. Beyond his mayoral duties, he has practiced law as a business attorney for nearly 40 years.

With almost all precincts reporting, Chaffee held 25.8 percent of the votes, Sebourn had 20.1 percent and Bennett garnered 18.2 percent.

California voters ap-proved propositions pro-viding for a $7.12 billion water bond, an amend-ment to the state constitu-tion regulating state debt and a sentence reduction for nonviolent drug offend-ers Tuesday, while denying three other propositions, according to election-night results.

The six California prop-ositions were split in half, with Propositions 1, 2 and 47 passing and Proposi-tions 45, 46 and 48 shot down.

Local voters also ap-proved Measures I and J, which provide bonds to area high schools and col-leges. Voters also approved Measure E, which estab-lishes an ethics commis-sion to enforce Orange County campaign finance rules.

Both Propositions 1 and 2 were approved in land-slide decisions.

Proposition 1 authoriz-es $7.12 billion in funding, which includes improving water quality, water sup-ply projects, treatment and storage projects and wa-ter recycling. Out of all of the California propositions that passed, Proposition 1 requires the most amount of revenue.

As of late Tuesday, with 35 percent of precincts re-porting, 67.5 percent of voters approved Propo-sition 1. It is the first wa-ter-related proposition since 2006. Proposition 84 passed in 2006 and ap-proved $5.4 million to fund water projects.

Proposition 2, known as the rainy-day fund budget, will stabilize the Califor-nia budget. This proposi-tion will change the way Californians pay back their debt. It was approved by 70.2 percent of voters.

With the passing of this proposition, existing state debts will most likely be paid off faster and there will be new rules for the state budget reserves and a Public School System Sta-bilization Account will be created.

Proposition 47 was ap-proved by 58 percent of voters.

With the passing of this proposition, penalties for non-serious and nonviolent property and drug crimes will be reduced from a fel-ony to a misdemeanor.

This proposition, also known as the Safe Neigh-borhoods and Schools Ini-tiative, will create the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools fund and would direct the money to K-12 schools.

The measure would re-quire misdemeanor sen-tencing instead of felony charges for the following shoplifting offences un-der $950: grand theft, re-ceiving stolen property, forgery, fraud, writing bad checks and the use of most illegal drugs.

Dia de los Muertos returns to campusCal State Fuller-

ton student organization M.E.Ch.A., hosted their 21st annual Dia de los Muertos event Tuesday. The event lasted all day, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the Quad.

Students who partici-pated were treated to free food, music, vendors and activities such as face painting and sugar skull decorating.

“This event is to cel-ebrate those who have passed and also to honor,” said Rubi Medina, a fifth year math major. “It also gives us a chance to kind of reflect and not look at death as something neg-ative, more as something to kind of cherish and remember.”

Janet Hernandez, a third year business major, said Dia de los Muertos gives the living an opportunity to talk about the dead when there might not be another time or place to do so.

“We preserve and pro-mote the Mexican cul-ture through Mexican folk dance,” said Alex Alegria, a fifth year Spanish ma-jor who was one of the performers.

Traditional altars were present around the activi-ties, where students could pay homage to loved ones who have passed away.

“We’re actually having a competition,” said senior art and history major Ana-lia Cabral. “Whoever has the most original or most interesting altars, they get to win a prize.”

Some of these altars highlighted specific cas-es including the victims of the attacks on women in Juarez, the Palestinians enduring genocide in the Middle East, police brutal-ity and those in the undoc-umented citizen and LGBT communities who faced acts of hate.

“We’re highlighting dif-ferent aspects political-ly and culturally of peo-ple who have passed away and current things that are

going on,” Cabral said.The event attracted a

large and diverse amount of students, including some who joined in on the festiv-ities and others who found themselves there out of curiosity.

“We’ve gotten a lot of people coming by, asking

questions and (who are) excited about everything,” Hernandez said.

Cabral said the event saw more student participation than in the last few years.

Those who were volun-teering expressed that the Dia de los Muertos holiday meant a lot to them, due to

its cultural significance.“As Mexicans, we are

very close to each other as far as family,” Alegria said . “Whenever a member of a family passes away, we like to keep that tradition of be-ing close to them. So we commemorate our beloved ones on this special day.”

GOP takes majority in Senate

Poll worker removed for tweets

ISIS takes over 200 children

Republicans took control of the Sen-ate Tuesday, wrest-ing the majority from Democrats for the fi-nal two years of Presi-dent Obama’s term, CNN reported.

Republican candi-dates took one more than the necessary six additional seats to se-cure their majority, hold-ing on to shaky seats in Kansas and Georgia. Contested races in Iowa and Colorado also fell to the GOP, securing the party’s new majority.

Seats in Montana, South Dakota, Arkan-sas, West Virginia and North Carolina all flipped from Democratic to Re-publican candidates, rounding out the seven additional GOP seats.

The House of Rep-resentatives race also went the way of the GOP, securing the par-ty’s existing majority.

A teenage poll work-er was removed from an Orange County poll-ing place for tweeting obscenities.

The girl was working at the Kensington Gar-dens polling station in Westminster and tweet-ed photos of voters with inappropriate captions.

Orange County Vot-er Registrar Neal Kelley said the poll workers are trained and that kind of behavior is clearly unac-ceptable, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“The Vietnamese news station is here I’m gon-na shoot myself,” she tweeted. “Every voter that came is Vietnamese with the last name Nguy-en or lee &; they don’t speak English.”

The tweet was fol-lowed by four emoticons of guns.

The user’s Twitter ac-count and tweets have since been deleted.

Approximately 200 Syrian Kurdish children were detained by ISIS while returning home from exams on May 29, according to CNN.

The girls in the cap-tured group were re-leased within hours, but the male students were kept in captivity for varying amounts of time, with some remain-ing captive for up to five months.

Four of the captured males gave statements, reporting poor living conditions and beat-ings received from their captors using hoses and electrical cables if they misbehaved. The chil-dren were also forced to watch ISIS’ vid-eos of their beheading victims.

The last of the children were released in late October, but the reason for the timing of the re-lease is unknown.

Incumbent Republican Ed Royce has won reelection for the 39th District of Califor-nia, defeating Democratic op-ponent Peter Anderson by a considerable margin, accord-ing to election night results.

Royce has held Congres-sional office since 1993 and currently chairs the House Committee on Foreign Af-fairs. He was endorsed by

the Orange County Register and is considered Congress’ most effective conservative congressman.

The 39th District consists of Eastern Los Angeles coun-ty, Southwestern San Ber-nardino county and North Orange County, including Fullerton, of which Royce is a longtime resident.

Anderson, a software en-gineer and a research statisti-cian at UCLA, was endorsed by the Democratic Party of Orange County and the Cali-fornia Democratic Party.

Royce’s platform includes addressing the national debt,

creating jobs and strengthen-ing education.

California is known for its strong liberal leaning, but Or-ange County has been con-sidered a Republican strong-hold for decades. For over 50 years, the county has leaned conservative, but is becom-ing more moderate in recent years, according to the Or-ange County Registrar of Voters and the California sec-retary of state.

It’s estimated that during this election season, Royce raised about $3 million for his campaign, while Anderson raised just $5,000.

Measures: Water bond, budget passProposition 45, which

would have required the insur-ance commissioner’s approval before a health insurer could change its rates or anything that would affect its charges, did not pass.

This initiative would have imposed a health insurance rate regulation system.

Proposition 46, which would have mandated the drug and alcohol testing of certain doctors and would have raised the cap on negligence suits to $1.1 million, was not passed.

Only 32.2 percent of voters supported this proposition.

If this proposition had passed, it would have made California the first state in the United States to require the random act of drug and alco-hol testing of doctors.

Proposition 48 also did not pass, which would have al-lowed the North Folk Tribe to build a casino in Central Val-ley. This proposition received support from 41.1 percent of voters as of late Tuesday.

Incumbent Gov. Jer-ry Brown won reelection Tuesday, beating out Re-publican challenger Neel Kashkari by a wide mar-gin, but losing the typi-cally conservative Orange County.

The win for the 75-year-old secures a record-break-ing fourth term as Cali-fornia’s longest serving governor.

Kashkari conceded the election just an hour after polls closed, but said his campaign played a role in setting the stage for future Republican candidates in California.

“This was always about blazing a trail for future Republicans to succeed in California,” Kashkari said in a statement. “We have begun the process of re-building our party, and now it’s up to all of us to build on the foundation we have laid.”

Kashkari, former U.S. treasury official and in-vestment banker during the federal bank bailout, ran

an education-focused cam-paign. He criticized Brown for siding with unions at the expense of California teachers and students.

Brown’s campaign placed much of its emphasis on state finances, citing his ef-forts to improve the state’s credit rating and reduce state debt.

The governor’s campaign placed further emphasis on Propositions 1 and 2, measures to promote water conservation and increase state rainy day savings, respectively.

The water bond, Brown’s website said, “ensures a reliable water supply for farms and businesses.” Proposition 2 promotes a rainy day fund, furthering Brown’s endeavors to re-duce state debt and protect funding for schools.

Both measures passed Tuesday, Proposition 1 by over 30 percentage points and Proposition 2 by more than 50 points.

Those loyal to Brown canvassed neighborhoods to get last minute voters out to the polls.

“There are so many mis-conceptions about Jerry Brown, and Jerry Brown has done a lot. I mean he came into a horrible deficit after Schwarzenegger left, so he actually has turned it around,” said Nilda Gar-cia, a Pacific Gas & Elec-tric Union Member, and a volunteer for the Con-nie Leyva for State Senate campaign.

Brown appealed a court ruling that brought down tenure and California Teachers Association job protections in August. At-tempts by Kashkari to highlight ties between

Brown and the Teachers Association failed to turn voters from the incumbent to the Republican camp.

Voters, however, were not convinced. Their focus fell instead on the finan-cial gains Brown was able to make during his time in office.

“We voted for Jer-ry Brown because in the few years that he has been

governor, things have really taken shape, for the better, financially,” said Antho-ny Akidi, an Upland resi-dent. “When some of the other governors were there, we had this big deficit and he’s done a lot to bring it to the positive side, financial-ly, so I say to give another chance to continue doing what he’s doing would be a good thing.”

Quirk-Silva’s platform was built in part on her past role as city councilmember and mayor in Fullerton, in ad-dition to her past work as a

brought in about $1.7 million in donations from over 1,700 donors during the campaign, according to the National Institute on Money in State

Politics. Quirk-Silva outspent Kim by over $130,000 with $933,511 in total funds.

Quirk-Silva won the seat in 2012 in a surprise victory against then-incumbent Re-publican Chris Norby.

Gov. Jerry Brown was elected to a record fourth term Tuesday, defeating Republican challenger Neel Kashkari by a wide margin. Orange County went to Kashkari, a former U.S. treasury official and investment banker.

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail opens Friday night with wit, humor and a philo-sophical background.

The play was written in the 1960s by Robert Edwin Lee and Jerome Lawrence during a time full of activ-ism and political reform. It was written in response to the country’s enthusiasm to get involved.

The play is directed by Mark Ramont, associate professor and the head of the Cal State Fullerton di-recting program.

Ramont graduated from CSUF and came back be-cause he loves having the opportunity to work with motivated students and a caring staff. This will be his sixth play in the four years he has directed at CSUF.

The play focuses on American author and philos-opher Henry David Thoreau who spends a night in jail for an act of civil disobedience. The audience follows Tho-reau’s life through a series of flashbacks he has during his night of incarceration.

Thoreau is played by Kyle Anderson, a senior BFA

acting major at CSUF. An-derson stays on stage in his jail cell the entire two and a half hours of the show.

Ramont said that he cast-ed Anderson because he needed someone with pas-sion, maturity and vulner-ability. Anderson is physi-cally striking with his red hair and his 6-foot-8-inch frame.

He handles the heaviness of the play well, Ramont said.

A love interest is also packed into this philosoph-ical play through the char-acter Ellen, played by Jackie Summers, a 21-year-old se-nior BFA acting major. El-len creates conflict between Thoreau and his brother.

Summers said this play is different from the others she has been in at CSUF be-cause she had to learn a new dialect. The entire cast had help learning the Eastern New England dialect from their dialect coach, Kennedy Brown.

Marqell Clayton, a soph-omore BFA student on the musical theatre route, is in-troduced in the second act as Henry Williams. The character is a poor runaway slave that receives help from Thoreau.

New CSUF faculty direc-tor and friend of Ramont, Christopher Shaw, plays

Ralph Waldo Emerson, a friend of Thoreau.

Ramont said that Shaw teaches through example, engages the students and provides great energy on stage.

Professors are sometimes

added into productions to play heavy and mature roles. By taking on these roles, they challenge the students they share the stage with.

With the midterm elec-tions ending this week, this play shows the importance

of getting politically in-volved and standing up for what you believe in.

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail will begin showing at the Clayes Performing Arts Center in the Young Theatre from Friday until Nov. 23.

Tickets are $11 at the door and $10 for advance sales.

For more information about tickets and other per-formances, contact the Clayes Performing Arts Center at (657) 278-3371 or visit fullerton.edu/arts.

The American Film In-stitute will be celebrating its 28th edition of its annu-al international cinema fes-tival in the heart of Holly-wood from Thursday until Nov. 13.

Special screenings, in-dependent films, block-busters and classic tributes will draw movie-goers from around the world to the event.

The eight-day festival will feature red carpet ga-las, screenings of both short and full-length films as well as international films.

The festival was founded in 1971 and continues to be among the largest film fes-tivals in Hollywood.

Icons, amateurs, masters and newly discovered talent will gather to proudly dis-play their work and to enjoy the creative works of their

peers.The festival will take

place in different locations around the city, such as the famous TCL Chinese the-atre, the Dolby Theatre and the Egyptian Theatre.

This year, AFI will give a special tribute to screen legend Sophia Loren by showing Marriage, Ital-ian Style, a film that Loren starred in 50 years ago in 1964.

The Italian film tells the story of a 20-year love af-fair between a wealthy busi-nessman played by Marcel-lo Mastroianni, and a local Italian prostitute who Lo-ren plays.

A short film that Lo-ren starred in will also be screened. The film was released last year and is called Voce Humana (Hu-man Voice).

Loren’s tribute will begin at 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 in the Dolby Theatre.

The tribute comes on the heels of writing her new memoir, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: My Life.

The festival will also have talks with famous film innovators such as actors Michael Keaton, Edward Norton and cinematogra-pher Roger Deakins. Oprah Winfrey, along with pro-ducers and actors from the anticipated film Selma, will also appear.

The festival will show-case the world premiere of The Gambler, direct-ed by Rupert Wyatt. The film stars Mark Wahl-berg and Michael Kenneth Williams.

A gala will take place the last night of the festival and a screening of Foxcatcher, starring Steve Carrell and Channing Tatum, will be be shown.

Although they are no lon-ger taking submissions for the festival, the institute ac-cepts submissions from the public.

To catch a show and have a chance to see one of your favorite stars, free tickets are available to the pub-lic online at the American Film Institute’s website.

Talented pianist Fureya Unal and her colleague Judy Huang will be return-ing to CSUF to perform a piano duo in the Clayes Performing Arts Recital Hall Thursday.

The songs Unal and Huang will be playing were learned specifically for this performance.

Unal can easily be con-sidered a musical genius. Music was ingrained into

her life at an early age, and it has become her lifelong passion.

After taking private les-sons in her home country of Turkey, Unal was even-tually accepted to Istan-bul State University at age five.

She has been a pianist for 35 years. She is currently an instructor of music here at Cal State Fullerton and at Santa Ana College.

Unal’s piano skills are impeccable; she delves into the music she is playing wholeheartedly.

Unal and Huang met six years ago at Santa Ana College. She and Huang

found they shared simi-lar musical backgrounds. Huang, who won the grand prize in the 2004 Carmel Music Society Instrumen-tal Competition, studied under Vitaly Margulis and Unal studied under Vitaly’s wife, Leontina.

Since meeting each oth-er, Huang and Unal have been performing togeth-er since their first duo two years ago.

In the past, Unal and Huang have performed pieces from other compos-ers they favor.

They played the Rite of Spring by Igor Stra-vinsky last year in honor

of the 100 year anniver-sary of the first original performance.

For the first half of the Thursday performance, Unal and Huang will be playing pieces by two French composers: Mau-rice Ravel and Francis Poulenc.

“Poulenc is one of the most important French composers,” Unal said. “His music is beautiful, powerful and accessible.”

She went on to say Rav-el’s work was just as en-chanting, because his works are based on child-hood classics.

“Ravel’s Mother Goose

suite was written be-tween 1908 and 1910, and is based on five favorite French fairy tales,” she said.

Some of the fairy tales are Little Tom Thumb and Conversation of Beauty and the Beast.

Unal believes audience members will truly enjoy the performance because of her passion toward the piano and various stories each piece portrays from composers all over the world.

For more information, call the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office at (657) 278-3371.

In the ‘70s, former Pres-ident Richard Nixon pop-ularized the term “war on drugs,” but 43 years later it would be more fitting to say there is more of a profit on drugs than a war.

The costly enforcement of drug policy has not stopped drug crimes and the spread of drugs into poor communities.

Additionally, much of the drug enforcement policy that we see today is racial-ly biased and targets Afri-can-Americans and Lati-nos more than any other groups.

In order to understand the war on drugs, people must go back to when the drug crisis began in America.

The Iran-Contra Scandal is that start.

Secretary of State John Kerry was responsible for exposing how cocaine was brought into the U.S. by cartels in order to fund the contras in Nicaragua during Ronald Reagan’s presidency in the ‘80s, something offi-cials at the CIA were appar-ently aware of.

In 1996, reporter Gary Webb published a three-part series in the San Jose Mercury News entitled, Dark Alliance, where he also alleged that there was CIA involvement in drug trafficking.

He detailed how a San Francisco drug ring sold drugs to Los Angeles street gangs and funneled millions of dollars from those drug sales to the

CIA-backed Nicaraguan contras.

Drugs were dumped in predominantly black neighborhoods.

Publications like the New York Times and Washing-ton Post tried to discredit Webb’s work, but his series has been turned into a film, Kill the Messenger.

There continues to be a high prevalence of drugs in our country.

However, our justice sys-tem seems to be more con-cerned with the benefits of keeping people incarcerat-ed than helping people who

struggle with addiction. It’s imperative for people

to recognize that prison is a business.

There are more people in prison in America than China, despite China hav-ing four times the popula-tion of the U.S.

More than 50 percent of inmates currently in feder-al prison are there for drug offenses.

Every 42 seconds, a per-son in the U.S. is arrested for marijuana, a relatively harmless drug in compari-son to others.

According to a report by

the U.S. Sentencing Com-mission, 27.6 percent of drug offenders were arrest-ed for marijuana between 2012-2013.

Nearly a million Ameri-can prisoners were making office furniture, working in call centers, fabricat-ing body armor and taking hotel reservations, while making wages as low as 93 cents an hour according to a 2012 Huffington Post article.

In the 1980s, for-prof-it prisons started to come onto the scene.

One of these was the

Corrections Corporation of America, the largest pri-vate prison company in the country.

CCA opened its first fa-cility in 1984, and has grown by 1,600 percent over a 20 year period end-ing in 2009.

CCA have numerous cor-rectional facilities in 20 states.

They also sell stock. The more people they house in one of their facilities, the higher the stock goes.

It’s a business, and the main concern of every busi-ness is the bottom line.

Drug arrests, as well as mandatory and minimum drug sentencing laws, have racial undertones to them.

Federal penalties for crack cocaine are 100 times harsher than possession of powder cocaine.

African-Americans are more likely to be caught with crack, while cauca-sians are more likely to be caught with powder cocaine.

African-Americans ac-count for 14 percent of regular drug users, but ac-count for 37 percent of drug arrests.

Similar to African-Amer-icans, Latinos are dispro-portionately arrested for drug crimes.

In California, seven out of 10 Latinos are in favor of reducing penalties for drug possession.

When analyzing the drug problem in this country, one must factor in the ra-cial component as well, so while whites are more likely to use drugs, wheth-er it be cocaine or marijua-na, African-Americans and Latinos are more likely to be arrested and spend time behind bars.

A recent report released by Fiscal News stated that America has wasted $7.6 billion to stop Afghan her-oin production. Despite America’s efforts, opium poppy has been cultivated at record levels in Afghan-istan, which affects the U.S. and the current heroin epi-demic in the country.

Petty offenses for mar-ijuana and other drugs should be done away with, but that would mean less prisoners, and less prisoners means less money for the prison industrial complex.

Drug war benefits prisonsMoney seems to be at the cen-ter of the war on drugs while the prison system benefits.

DARRELL KINGDaily Titan

The war on drugs has been costly, ineffective and has benefited the prison system. Both the African-American and Latino communites have felt the most pressure from the way the laws are set up.

QUOTE OF THE DAY“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

- Dr. Seuss

JOKES OF THE DAY

Q: Why do fish live in salt water?

A: Because pepper makes them sneeze!

Q: Why did the man put his money in the freezer?

A: He wanted cold hard cash!

Q: What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?

A: Frostbite.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

You can’t quite make out what’s going on with your people today -- so see if you can gain some clarity. It may take all day or even longer, but you are sure to find that things are better on the other side.

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

Your compassionate side is expressed to the full-est extent today -- so much so that you may find it hard to say no to those in need.

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

It gets frustrating after a while -- you can’t seem to figure out what you want to do next, and no clues are forthcoming. The good news is that you’re just about to find a new way to make de-cisions.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

This is a better day for big-picture brainstorm-ing than for getting down deep into the details of whatever task you’re stuck with. If you can blow off the small stuff, so much the better.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

Things are a little unclear today -- so make sure that you’re dealing with issues that make at least a little sense to you. Things are sure to get sim-pler in a few days, or a week at the most.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

No one seems to be even a tiny bit organized today -- including yourself! That can start to get maddening pretty quickly, but you can find a way to get past the worst of it if you’re sneaky.

LIBRA(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

You have got to keep your head down today -- oth-erwise, things are sure to get really difficult for you when people start to take notice.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

You are finding yourself at the heart of a mystery -- and it’s a good one! You may also discover that you enjoy the search for clues more than the answers that result, so prolong the anticipation.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

Keeping your desires to yourself seems like a wise choice today if your feelings are drawing you into unconventional territory. However, completely suppressing a craving might actually strengthen it instead of making it go away.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

Communication just isn’t as easy as it usually is today -- but that doesn’t mean that you can’t figure out how to get your message out there. Try something totally new and you’re sure to get noticed.

AQUARIUS(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18):

Don’t waste your precious time or energy by getting bent out of shape if someone disagrees with you today. Taking interpersonal dynamics in stride can magically transform the most chal-lenging situation into a memorable event.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

Try to take care of your own needs first today -- though you should have plenty of energy for others as well! It’s a good time for you to try new things and get others to lighten up a little.

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team be-gins a two-game road trip this weekend against UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

The Titans have strug-gled in Big West Conference play, posting a 1-8 record with their only win com-ing against last place UC Riverside.

They have two wins over-all since Sept. 12.

The statistics show that CSUF has not played as well in conference play as they did during their non-confer-ence schedule.

They are hitting .173 in Big West play compared to .182 on the season.

Fullerton has struggled on the offense recently, hitting just .099 against UC Irvine and .094 against Hawaii.

Fortunately for the Ti-tans, they had more suc-cess hitting in their previ-ous matchup against UCSB, hitting .201 on Oct. 11 at

Titan Gym. The Gauchos beat CSUF in that match in four sets.

UCSB had 18 total blocks in the first match, including six in the fourth set to seal the win.

The blocking differen-tial was crucial in the game, considering CSUF had more kills than Santa Barbara.

The Gauchos had stand-out performances from out-side hitter Ali Barbeau and Chanel Hoffman.

Barbeau led the team with 18 kills and Hoffman had 15 of her own, while hitting an impressive .419 on 31 attempts.

McKenna Painton had a big game against UCSB, posting 14 kills and 11 digs in her second career double-double.

Holland Crenshaw also had an impressive perfor-mance, hitting .409 on 22 attempts.

The Titans played partic-ularly well in the third set. Crenshaw had seven kills in the frame and hit .600.

CSUF as a team hit .294 and held the Gauchos to .069.

Santa Barbara is 5-5 in

Big West play and is 5-2 at home this season.

They are coming off a 3-0 sweep of UC Riverside last weekend.

After the Friday game in Santa Barbara, the Titans will travel to San Luis Obis-po to take on the Mustangs of Cal Poly.

The Mustangs have also struggled in Big West play, posting a 3-7 record.

They have lost five of their last six games, with their only win coming against UC Riverside.

The Highlanders made Cal Poly SLO earn the win in a grueling five-set match.

The Titans and Mustangs previously met on Oct. 10 at Titan Gym.

Cal Poly SLO beat Fuller-ton in four sets.

Painton played her first collegiate game at outside hitter in that matchup, and posted 15 kills and 15 digs.

She also had career highs in hitting percentage (.171) and blocks (3).

Crenshaw hit .318 on 22 attempts and junior setter Mackenzie Olsen had 44 as-sists and 10 digs.

Raeann Greisen leads Cal Poly SLO in scoring with 3.29 kills per set.

She had 16 kills and hit .208 in the previous match-up against CSUF. Hannah Schleis had a standout game hitting .476 and recording 12 kills. Setter Taylor Nelson had a double-double with 42

assists and 11 digs. Nelson leads the Big West

in assists during confer-ence play with 396. She has played more sets in Big West play than any other setter in the conference with 40. Ful-lerton’s setter, Olsen, has 327 assists in just 33 sets.

The Titans would love

to get at least one win this weekend before playing a talented UC Davis team next Thursday.

They have seven games left and must improve their play if they want to climb the standings and avoid be-ing one of the bottom two teams in the conference.

The Cal State Fuller-ton men’s soccer team will be heading to Northridge Wednesday to wrap up their regular season against the Matadors.

The match is essentially a must-win for both squads, with Cal State Northridge trailing the Titans by one point in the Big West South Division standings for the final spot in the conference tournament.

Fullerton has battled inconsistencies all sea-son, and those have really come back to bite the Ti-tans heading into their last matchup.

In their last three games, CSUF is 0-1-2, failing to solidify their spot in the Big West Conference Tour-nament by earning a key three-point victory.

Instead, CSUF saw pre-vious bottom-dwelling UC Riverside move up the standings by defeating the Titans once and playing them to a tie, as they have now clinched a spot in the tournament.

Only three of four teams in the Big West north and south divisions are eligi-ble for the postseason, and it has become quite possi-ble that the Titans will be one of those teams to not participate.

CSUF also failed to qual-ify for the conference tour-nament last season.

The Big West South Divi-sion is extremely tight, with first place UC Irvine lead-ing fourth place CSUN by just three points, the equiv-alent of one win.

All CSUF needs to do is earn a win or tie against the Matadors to guaran-tee a place in the Big West tournament.

However, a loss sends Head Coach George Kuntz’s squad back home disappointed at their missed opportunities and failure to close out what had been a very promising year.

The Titans won their first matchup with the Mata-dors 1-0 on Oct. 22 at Titan Stadium.

Goalkeeper Jeff Salt will need a similarly dominant performance Wednesday if their season is going to continue.

CSUN will be riding high entering the game after beating the No. 14 Anteat-ers of UCI 2-0 in impres-sive fashion Saturday.

Fullerton will need Marc Fenelus and Amara Sou-mah to step up their game and get the Titans offense going early in order to take away CSUN’s home-field advantage. The pair of se-niors currently lead the team in scoring, as Fenelus has found the back of the net six times, while Sou-mah is right behind him with five.

While the Titans have a balanced scoring lineup, the Matadors are on the op-posite end of the spectrum, relying almost solely on se-nior Sagi Lev-Ari to create

scoring opportunities. The native of Israel has net-ted 11 of the Matadors’ 18 scores this season, as no other player has more than three goals on the year.

CSUN goalkeeper Adam Hobbs could be the biggest obstacle to the Titans’ play-off push. The junior from

El Segundo has not allowed more than one goal since Oct. 5, which has allowed his team’s offense to play at a more relaxed pace in re-cent games.

Wednesday night will feature two conference rivals leaving their all on the field in hopes of

having a chance to play in the Big West Conference Tournament.

The winner won’t have long to recover, as the tour-nament begins Saturday.

However, a lack of prepa-ration will still be a much better result than watch-ing the tournament from

home.Kuntz will have his squad

ready, as the Titans look to make it back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000.

It would be a long, gruel-ing path for Kuntz and his team, but it all starts with a victory Wednesday.

The Titans will need more consistent play in order to move up Big West standings

The Titans have their backs against the wall, needing a win or a tie on Wednesday to qualify for the Big West Conference Tournament. CSUF will need to turn around their recent struggles, as they have failed to win a match in their last three times on the pitch.
