The Cal State Fuller-ton softball team won the first of a three-game series against Long Beach State, 8-0, Wednesday at Ander-son Family Field.

The 49ers (32-10, 9-1 Big West) came into the game riding an 11-game win-ning streak. They entered play with a three-game lead over second place UC Santa Barbara and a four-game lead over third place CSUF.

Sophomore Jasmine An-tunez got the start in the circle for the Titans. An-tunez made three appear-ances against the 49ers in 2013 and had an earned run average of 1.72.

Antunez got herself into a jam in the first inning. She allowed a leadoff triple to junior shortstop Shay-na Kimbrough. She walked two other batters to load the bases. She got senior catcher Sarah Carrasco to fly out to end the inning.

“There was pressure right away and she just handled it,” Head Coach Kelly Ford said.

“The first inning was a little tough,” Antunez said. “I just relied on my defense

helping me and tried to get balls hit to them.”

Senior Erin Jones-Wes-ley took the circle for the 49ers. She came into the game with a record of 18-4 with an earned run aver-age of 2.52. Wesley is sec-ond in the Big West in strikeouts per game with 7.68.

The Titans jumped on Jones-Wesley early. Sopho-more third baseman Mis-sy Taukeiaho led the first inning off with a double. After a sacrifice bunt, ju-nior Eliza Crawford hit a sacrifice fly to score Taukeiaho.

After a leadoff double and sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the second in-ning, senior left fielder Leesa Harris beat out a grounder to third base to drive in a run.

In the bottom of the third, Crawford hit her first home run since March 26. The solo shot was her 10th of the season. The home run and ensuing walk prompted Head Coach Kim Sowder to bring in junior Amanda Hansen to pitch.

The Titans continued their offensive onslaught in the fourth inning. Har-ris hit her second infield single of the night. Taukei-aho followed Harris with a two-run home run. It was her conference-leading 14th home run.

“Today I was really

aggressive, but I tried stay-ing calm,” Taukeiaho said. “Whatever they gave me, (I) took it and ran with it.”

With two outs in the bot-tom of the fourth, Han-sen walked back-to-back Titans. Sophomore sec-ond baseman Samantha Galarza singled to drive in a run. Carrasco attempt-ed to throw out the steal-ing Galarza, but no 49er

was covering the base. The throw sailed to the out-field, which scored the runner from third base to give the Titans a 7-0 lead.

After cruising through the previous three innings, Antunez once again ran into trouble in the top of the fifth inning.

A once-in-a-lifetime European adventure

My mom always wanted to see Paris.

For as long as I can re-member, she’s had a framed painting of the Eiffel Tow-er hanging on her bedroom wall.

I used to stare at the painting as I walked past it, and before I understood the gravity of what I was look-ing at, I wondered about her fascination with the big metal structure in the

middle of the canvas.I suppose that some-

where along the way, her dream became my dream too, but it was more than just the Eiffel Tower.

This incredible wan-derlust grew within me. I longed to travel the world and experience cultures and sights that I had only ever dreamed about.

So a few weeks ago, I did.

I jumped on a plane and spent two weeks backpack-ing through Europe with my boyfriend.

The journey was terri-fying, unorganized and completely insane, but I wouldn’t have changed a moment of it.

After we landed in Lon-don, I fell in love with it immediately.

Everything in London feels as if it were built with so much precision. The buildings are squished to-gether, but are still donned with crown molding and old-fashioned streetlights lined the centers of the streets.

Camden town felt like an entirely different place. This small area of shops and food carts is filled with so many different people and cultures that it feels like a world of its own.

From London we trav-eled to Italy. We spent the first night there in a small town called Treviso. It’s a

little city surrounded by walls, and nobody speaks a word of English. The cobble-stone streets were tiring on my feet, but the charm of the town was hard to miss.

The next day, my boyfriend and I took a train to Venice. We were lost for hours while trying to navigate our way to Saint Mark’s Square.

When we eventually found our way there, I had an ex-tremely surreal moment when I was standing in the middle of Venice, Italy, in Saint Mark’s Square eating hazelnut gelato. The experi-ence felt real to me then.

After touring Italy, we took two day trips to Austria and Switzerland.

The homes in Austria are

painted in bright pinks, greens and yellows, and many have murals of saints and the Virgin Mary hid-den along the lesser viewed sides.

Switzerland is incredi-bly beautiful and expensive. My boyfriend repeatedly ex-plained that the average sal-ary in Switzerland is high, but all I could think about were the $11 cheeseburgers from McDonald’s.

When our adventure in Switzerland ended, our next stop was Germany.

My boyfriend graduated college a few years ago, but while he was there he spent his last semester studying abroad in Freiburg.

I could tell that he wanted

me to love Freiburg. We’ve talked about living there one day, and I knew that he expected me to see it and immediately decide that our abstract plans should be made into reality, but I didn’t.

We spent a few days wan-dering the streets and view-ing the city from the top of a huge hill at sunset. I really liked Freiburg, but I didn’t love it.

I could feel his disap-pointment, but we cut our losses and took a train into France. The country-side was everything I imagined it would be.

Student travels through Europe to see six countries in 14 days

A huge surprise is in store for numerous home-less people in Fullerton this Saturday night.

More than 50 Orange County residents, includ-ing Cal State Fullerton students, are going to give goodie bags to homeless people they encounter on a journey through the Or-ange County area.

The bags are filled with necessities such as tooth-paste, toothbrushes, socks and clothes. Hot food will also be purchased to hand out alongside the goodie bags during their walk.

The whole event is co-ordinated by Amie Zeoli, a graduate student study-ing public administration, who hopes to inf luence city policy with a career in public administration.

Zeoli started these events in hopes of address-ing the issue and changing people’s perceptions of the huge homeless population in the area.

“I seek to make people understand that homeless people are not just lazy or drug addicted- they have simply hit a hard time in their lives,” Zeoli said.

Zeoli started coordinat-ing these types of events last year. She has put on two events, one for the Christmas season and one on Valentine’s Day.

“I want to remind them that we are thinking about them during the holiday seasons,” Zeoli said.

Alin Buna, another stu-dent in the public admin-istration masters pro-gram, saw Zeoli’s event on Facebook and helped her reach out to more CSUF students.

“Usually students in our department (public ad-ministration and political science) have a desire to bring good change in their community,” Buna said. “The desire to help should come from within.”

Zeoli said she is ecstatic

over the amount of volun-teers who have contact-ed her and signed up to help.

Volunteers are meeting Saturday night at La Pal-ma Park in Anaheim at 7 p.m. They will circle the park and give bags to the homeless people who take shelter there. From there, Zeoli and volunteers are going to caravan to the train station in downtown Fullerton and continue handing out goodie bags.

“I give everyone some-thing to give to the home-less people so they can talk to them and personal-ly hear their stories,” Zeoli said.

Zeoli is also open to any ideas from volunteers re-garding additional ar-eas to visit that are heav-ily populated by homeless people. She also said she hopes to get more requests from CSUF students who want to volunteer.

“This opportunity to reach out to the homeless people will really open the volunteers’ eyes to the is-sue of homelessness no matter what major you are,” Zeoli said.

For more information on how to volunteer for the event, email Zeoli at azeo-li@csu.fullerton.edu.

Racing a canoe against 18 other schools is a daunt-ing task, and it’s even harder when that canoe is made of concrete. But that’s exactly what the students of Cal State Fullerton’s American Soci-ety of Civil Engineers (ASCE) chapter did when they com-peted at San Diego State University from earlier this month.

Each university’s chapter designed and built its own canoe before presenting and finally racing it against the other schools’ entries. The top teams at each of the region-al conferences will be invited to the National Concrete Ca-noe Competition (NCCC). Ac-cording to the ASCE, the pur-pose of the event is twofold: to showcase students’ cre-ativity and technical know-how while also highlighting the versatility of concrete as building material.

This year’s competition had the added benefit of giving a group of civil engineering students practical experience working with concrete, said Pratanu Ghosh, an assistant professor of civil engineering and the club’s adviser.

“This concrete canoe com-petition is basically to … give (the students) practical,

hands-on experience to show how the concrete material is so important in everyday life,” Pratanu said.

Since concrete is an inte-gral part of many structures it is important for students to be knowledgeable about it as a building material, Pratanu said.

“Civil engineering students particularly need to know more about concrete struc-tures (and) the application of the concrete technology in everyday life,” he said.

Working on the canoe provided more in-depth experience with concrete that built upon the in-class learning the students are used to, said club president Manuel Alaniz, a senior civ-il engineering major.

“You can see the different ways engineering can be applied as opposed to just standard construction–you can adjust your techniques a little bit,” Alaniz said.

The conference also pro-vides an opportunity for civil engineering students from throughout the region to meet and trade ideas on improvements for design and construction, said Victor Barranco, a senior civil engi-neering major.

“We got to talk to the de-signers and construction people and get ideas from them and … transfer ideas on how we can improve,” he said.

This year’s team of stu-dents began planning for the competition last summer.

The first step was finding the ideal concrete mix that was both light enough to float and strong enough to be structurally sound. It took about 60 different batches before the group found the right mixture.

From there, it took months of preparation be-fore the team was ready to compete in the regional competition.

While the team did not advance to the national competition, Alaniz said this year’s work will pro-vide a basis for next year’s entry, something the club was lacking for this year’s competition.

“Everything we did this year was pretty much started from scratch,” Ala-niz said. “We didn’t have a base mix to start from, we didn’t have a mold to prac-tice the construction, we didn’t have a concrete ca-noe to practice in.”

Still, the team developed a technically sound canoe, Barranco said.

“As far as the concrete mix and all the technical aspects of it we were pretty strong,” Barranco said.

The main improvement next year would be addi-tional practice with the ca-noe itself.

Using the improvements from this year, the group hopes to continue to build upon what they’ve learned and field an even more competitive canoe for next year’s races.

7 dead, 300 missing after ferry sinks

Deportations since 2009 almost halved

Former Bell city manager gets 12 years

Passengers on the South Korean ferry that capsized early Wednes-day morning were told to stay put as the ferry started sinking, accord-ing to CNN.

Officials reported that as of Wednesday, at least seven passengers have died. More than 300 pas-sengers are still unac-counted for, and at least 164 have been rescued.

The ferry was on its way to Jeju Island after departing the night be-fore from Ansan.

The first distress call was sent from the fer-ry at around 9 a.m. Two hours later, the ferry had completely capsized.

Some of the passen-gers who jumped from the ship, ignoring com-mands to stay in place, were rescued. Others were rescued by helicop-ters and fishing boats that flocked to the scene as the ship tilted.

Fewer deportation cases brought by the Obama administration and judges increasing-ly ruling against depor-tations have led to a 43 percent drop in depor-tations since 2009, ac-cording to the New York Times.

There was a steep drop in deportation cases, nearly 50,000, from 2011 to 2013. Barack Obama has de-ported more foreign-ers than any other president, but the rate of deportations has dropped.

In 2011, the adminis-tration applied a more aggressive policy of prosecutorial discre-tion, which reduced the amount of illegal immi-grants with no criminal records deported.

Last year, the Depart-ment of Homeland Se-curity began 187,678 de-portation cases.

The city administra-tor for the city of Bell, who used the city’s trea-sury to give high sala-ries and large loans to himself and other Bell employees, was sen-tenced to 12 years in state prison Wednesday for his part in the Bell corruption scandal that first surfaced in 2010, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Robert Rizzo previ-ously pleaded no con-test to the charges against him.

In addition to the prison sentence, Robert Rizzo, who previously served as the city man-ager, was ordered to pay $8.8 million back to Bell in restitution.

Rizzo has also been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison on Monday for a tax fraud scheme. He will begin serving his sentence on May 30.

Quake simulator shakes Quad

A black metal “Quake Cot-tage” shook Titans in the Quad Wednesday, encouraging them to be prepared in case of an earthquake. Students lined up to ride the simulator, which al-lowed those who rode it to

experience a mock 8.0 magni-tude earthquake.

Once inside the simulator, up to four people sat on comfort-ably cushioned seats with stur-dy black handles to hold on to.

A television was positioned

directly in front of the seats on the wall. Once the shaking began, footage of an earth-quake started to play. The violent shaking lasted a cou-ple of minutes before slowly coming to a halt.

A representative from Cam-pus Emergency Preparedness greeted the rattled students as they stumbled out, ask-ing if they had survived. Stu-dents received a chocolate

bar, along with a quick list of what to do in case of an earthquake.

The College of Communi-cations will be encouraging students to join the conver-sation with several profes-sionals from different com-munications fields as part of the 36th annual Com-munications Week taking place next Monday through Friday.

Since 1978, Communica-tions or “Comm” Week is a campuswide event that ex-plores the impact commu-nications plays in our dai-ly lives and offers speakers from various disciplines to cater to all majors with-in the field. The festivities include activities for jour-nalism, public relations, advertising, radio-TV-film, photography and en-tertainment and tourism students.

“The theme of the whole thing is to get people from any part of the communica-tions industry to come and speak to our students and to get them involved and network with them,” said Bree Todd, an entertain-ment and tourism studies major. “I think it’s really im-portant to get people who started where we are and (to see) where they are now and give us information about their story.”

Todd is also a member of the student task force, a team made up of 21 un-dergraduates in communi-cations-related fields that plans and ensures the en-tire week of activities runs smoothly.

“We’ve been working so hard in just a short amount of time to make this huge convention come togeth-er and be successful,” she said.

The student task force is divided into smaller teams: the executive, scheduling, logistics and communica-tions committees. Each has a different focus to help car-ry out the operations for the event. These focuses range

from reserving rooms in the Titan Student Union or helping book the guest speakers for the event.

“What normally happens is that everyone in the task force is assigned to a faculty member within the College of Communications. That faculty member either has an idea of someone they’d like to bring into Comm Week from the industry or they ask us to find someone on our own,” said Kelsey Jordana, the CEO of the ex-ecutive committee.

There are over 50 pre-sentations booked for next week, many of which fea-ture guest speakers. Jor-dana believes this will help undergraduate students find the career niche they fit in.

“You literally just go from speaker to speaker to see what they have to say about the industry, why they like it, why they hate it, how to get in it and also network-ing too,” she said. “It’s more of a learning experience (where you) get to know the professional as well.”

For Jordana’s colleague and fellow task team mem-ber Jessica Anguiano, net-working is the ultimate goal.

“I know from speaking with professors and speak-ers; they want to provide students with that oppor-tunity to network and meet different people in the in-dustry and kind of get their foot in the door,” Anguiano said.

Speakers who will come to campus with connec-tions next week include Glen Mazzara, the for-mer executive producer of AMC’s hit show The Walking Dead, John Nicoletti, vice president of communica-tions at the Disneyland Re-sort, and Michael Hiltzik, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has worked for the Los Angeles Times for over three decades.

Communications Week events will be held at vari-ous locations in the Titan Student Union. More infor-mation regarding schedul-ing and speaker topics can be found at the College of Communications website.

A Cal State Fullerton stu-dent team beat out Villano-va University and the Uni-versity of Texas to take first place in the national finals of a structural engineering competition.

The four-member team of civil engineering students won the 2014 Structural En-gineering Institute (SEI) Student Structural Design Competition in Boston over spring break with “Indepen-dence Tower.”

The team’s proposed building, a 700,000-square-foot tower, is a combi-nation of office and re-tail spaces to be placed in downtown Los Angeles.

Judges assessed each team’s structure based on the originality and com-plexity of the design, but they essentially allowed students to build any struc-ture they wanted.

“It’s got to be something that incorporates some good thought,” said team member Jeffrey Addison. “A big part of it is innovative design. They want to see something unique about it, and I think that’s what makes it stand out among the many sub-missions they get.”

The students designed In-dependence Tower during a course focusing on design-ing high-rise structures in the fall 2013 semester.

Initially, the course fo-cused on the fundamentals of high-rise buildings–ex-plaining how they stand and why they fall, Addison said. However, the majority of class time was dedicat-ed to a major group project,

which included Indepen-dence Tower.

David Naish, Ph.D., an as-sistant professor of civil and environmental engineer-ing, split the students into groups of about four mem-bers. Naish liked the Inde-pendence Tower presenta-tion, so he encouraged his students to submit it to the design competition.

Only one team per school is allowed to enter, but few other students showed in-terest, so the group was free to submit its own presen-tation without significant competition.

That meant the team had to pare the 120-page re-port they submitted to Na-ish down to 15 pages in or-der to conform with SEI guidelines, Addison said. The members took some time off for their family and friends, but from about Dec. 26 to the deadline on Jan. 3, they were meeting at school and spending as much time

as possible revising their report.

With the hectic submis-sion process behind them, the judges set to work on narrowing the field down to three finalists, and the CSUF team was one of them. They were invited to the conference in Boston where they presented their structure in greater detail for 20 minutes and partici-pated in research presenta-tions and other events.

Due to its hypothetical location in the heart of Los Angeles, earthquake safety became a primary concern for the team.

The governing design factor for structural engi-neers designing buildings is usually wind or earth-quakes, and in Southern California, earthquakes are almost always the pri-ority, Addison said.

For engineers, the pri-mary goals include making the building stiff enough to

withstand smaller earth-quakes and, should a severe earthquake strike, design-ing the building to fail in a way that it does not com-pletely collapse and helps give occupants time to safe-ly escape.

“(We design the building so hopefully) if it does fail, it fails in a way that ensures survival,” Addison said.

The student success fee is the best method to raise the funds needed to sustain an under-funded school.

The purpose of the fee that recently passed is to bring in some of that money.

However, the fee comes at a cost to the very students it is trying to serve.

It has only been since Prop-osition 30 was passed in 2012 that students have felt some sort of reprieve from tuition in-creases. The stock market crash in 2008 caused a recession.

Education was the target of many budget cuts during that recession in order to keep the state’s budget intact.

These cuts meant universi-ties needed to make up for that lost money somehow and recur-ring tuition hikes became the answer.

Gov. Jerry Brown’s most re-cent proposed budget called for a four-year tuition freeze.

This is a good thing for students.

The only problem is that schools—including CSUF—still need a lot of money to pay for campus improvements and maintenance.

These Cal State Universities are at a deficit from the years of budget cuts prior to Proposition 30.

In the past, when schools needed funding, they raised tuition. But the tuition freeze means they can no longer do this. So schools have to figure out how to bring in the much needed funding.

Enter student success fees. These fees are not classified

as tuition increases so they’re

fair game and students will still have to pay more.

Although, paying more at a university that already has a relatively low tuition, like CSUF, is not the worst possible outcome.

The fee was lowered from its initial proposed cost of $240.50 to $181. The result is not unreasonable.

CSUF may not be the least ex-pensive CSU, but even with the fee it is still cheaper than UCs and private schools.

Accepting a fee hike that was at least open to student feed-back is a lot better than a tui-tion hike without any consent from students.

It is the students that will have higher paying careers.

It is the students that will have professions that benefit society.

It is the students that will pay more taxes because of their professions.

Campus improvements will al-low students to reach the point in their life where they have a career that will make them an asset to society.

It might cause immediate pain to student’s wallets, but this fee is a long term investment that will allow this school to keep up with other schools.

The unfortunate reality is that this fee is needed. This school needs money and given the as-sets available to them, the admin-istration is trying to find a way to improve student’s economic success.

Until the state gives CSUF more money, this is the best and most inclusive way to help students choose to improve what’s import-ant to them.

Fields of yellow flowers were endless. My boyfriend later said they must be some type of crop, which momen-tarily disappointed me, but I decided to pretend I didn’t know that.

We spent the night in a bed and breakfast that was owned by an old French couple who treated us like we were children of their own. They took us out to dinner and in the morn-ing, we played with chick-ens the couple kept in their backyard.

My boyfriend and I drove back through the country and visited a few chateaus along the way. They look a lot like miniature castles, which they are, but they also used to be a home to someone.

Children were raised there and families fell apart, and while my boyfriend marveled at the architec-ture of these old buildings, all I could think about was

how empty they must have been.

After bickering about the importance of cha-teaus, we finally made it to Paris, France.

I remember walking to-ward the Eiffel Tower, but I couldn’t quite see it yet. I was around the corner from a viewing point and began to walk faster until I broke into

a run and suddenly, I could see it.

I was brought to tears, and in that moment all I want-ed was for my mother to be there with me.

I took a picture and sent it to her. I promised her that one day we would see it together.

A few days later, as I packed my bags to go home, I realized how much I missed my journey, and what I learned along the way.

The trip didn’t go perfect-ly. My boyfriend and I see the world in different ways, but maybe that’s OK.

However, after seeing the Eiffel Tower, I realized all I was really doing was fulfill-ing the dreams of my moth-er because she had yet to be there herself.

In every cliché sense of the word, I am changed.

It sounds ridiculous, but in some ways seeing the world told me that right now, in this moment, the place that I most want to be, is home.

Food options in Orange County can seem endless. However, many students who are vegetarian or vegan have to look hard-er for a good place to eat that meets their dietary needs.

Cal State Fullerton of-fers many quick and tasty choices with a f lavorful, healthy fare–most without emptying a student’s wal-let. Whether someone is looking to detoxify or pig out, there is usually some-thing for everyone, all just a short drive away.

The number of vegetari-an and vegan eateries has been on the rise in recent years and it’s no surprise why.

Over seven million

Americans are vegetari-ans, while one million of those people are vegan, according to the Vegetar-ian Times website. With such a huge demand for vegetarian and vegan food options, restaurants have stepped up to deliver cre-ative, f lavorful dishes per-fect for vegetarians and carnivores alike.

For students who are strapped for time and do not have the luxury of leaving campus for food, they can walk on over to the Titan Student Union and look for The Fresh Kitchen. The eatery of-fers grilled paninis, pota-to samosas, Greek salads and chili–many of which are vegan and vegetarian friendly.

Over at The Habit Burg-er Grill, an off-campus eatery located near the southern end of campus, students can try the mas-sive and tasty veggie burg-er, charred to perfection and topped with honey

Dijon sauce.If students have time

to leave campus, they can stop in at Green Bliss in downtown Ful-lerton. Green Bliss offers the avo-campania pani-ni made with mushrooms, artichokes and avocado and quinoa or kale sal-ads for a more healthy choice.

Rutabegorz in Fuller-ton satisfies both vege-tarians and omnivores. The restaurant’s large menu features many veg-gie-friendly items includ-ing black bean chili, veg-gie lasagna, falafel wrap, veggie burgers and more.

Students can visit Mata-dor Cantina to go for a late night drink and fill their stomachs with veggie ta-cos. The Mexican-style eatery allows most of its dishes to be substituted with veggie meat or made vegan style at no extra charge.

Monkey Business Café in Fullerton offers

vegetarian breakfast and lunch options, such as om-elets, scrambles, waff les and sandwiches. The café also donates a portion of its earnings to Hart Com-munity Homes, which as-sists Orange County foster youth.

For students who are strictly vegan there is Lov-ing Hut in Orange, which boasts an entirely vegan menu. The restaurant fea-tures Asian and American style cuisine. Students can try the wonton and noo-dle soups, chow mein and Mongolian rice.

Another place for veg-etarians to try is Mead’s Green Door Café in Or-ange. It has a bright mod-ern atmosphere and pro-vides a unique cuisine. Students can try the Ran-chero Burrito, chilled Soba Salad, Cajun Chik’n Torta or its famous fried Buffalo Caulif lower.

Vegan and vegetarian students can stock up on food supplies at Mother’s

Market. The store’s in-house eatery offers tempeh burgers, mushroom melts and tofu scrambles.

Vegetarian or not,

students can give these restaurants a try and come away with a new fa-vorite place on or off cam-pus to enjoy.

Developing a mobile app and having it featured in the Apple App Store is not an easy accomplishment.

It requires countless hours of intricate planning, designing, coding and often-times, many developers find that success can be hard to come by.

What started out as a side project for Vincent Yancoskie, 23, has bloomed into a suc-cessful collaborative effort. Lightning Assault is a 2-D aeri-al air combat video game app that uses 3-D flight simula-tion to attack UFO’s and alien invaders.

The game is the culmina-tion of a two-year project tak-en on by Yancoskie and two of his friends, Tim Chua, 32, the main developer and graph-ic designer, Jean-Rosch Pru-dencio, a third team member based out of Canada.

Finding success in the ex-tremely competitive mar-ket of web design can be just as challenging, but Cal State Fullerton business/marketing alumnus Yancoskie has con-tinued to experience growth in both arenas by bringing a personal creative vision to all his projects.

“The primary goal was to make something that was dif-ferent and according to our own vision and such, it looks different than anything else out there,” Yancoskie said.

Staying true to realism is another key factor of the game, which uses images pulled directly from Google Earth images.

“We actually pulled these images from NASA, they’re images from space to make it more realistic since the game takes place in the atmo-sphere,” Yancoskie said.

Yancoskie is a self-taught web designer, but profession-ally trained web or mobile app designers would not be able to distinguish their work over his.

As an interface designer, Yancoskie was and contin-ues to be extremely hands-on by working closely with Chua to ensure their vision of the game was brought to fruition as authentically and precise as possible.

“I worked very closely with the chief executive producer and developer, Tim Chua, to plan out the design of Light-ning Assault,” Yancoskie said. “The home screen alone went through 53 revisions before we finally settled on the cur-rent (one).”

As a main developer, Chua wanted to create something that would be fun to play, but would also be a part of something he was passion-ate about. Chua advises oth-er entrepreneurs looking to break into the mobile app market not to focus solely on gaining financial success, but take away as many les-sons as possible.

“I learned a lot doing this,” Chua said. “The main thing is to do something that you get excited about. It’s about real-ly enjoying what you’re doing

and hoping that you can also expand it in the future.”

Although Yancoskie did not always see himself starting a business or working in a field heavily involving technolo-gy, it was his entrepreneurial spirit and wanting to be a part of something that allowed him to use his creative skills to help him get to where he is today.

While attending CSUF, Yancoskie was a student in professor John Bradley Jack-son’s Marketing for Entrepre-neurs class where he learned

a lot about entrepreneurship. The information Yancoskie gained helped him realize he could take the game to the next level from a business standpoint.

John B. Jackson, a CSUF business professor and di-rector for the Center for En-trepreneurship, advises all entrepreneuria l-minded individuals to do their re-search prior to pursuit of any business plan, especially in the mobile app market.

“Focus in on a custom-er that is overlooked or un-derserved. That’s the defini-tion of a niche market. That’s someone who’s out there that isn’t getting what they want,” Jackson said. “If you can find a customer who isn’t getting what they want and you can deliver specifically what they really do want. That’s an ex-traordinary thing.”

Yancoskie and Chua are also co-founders of Prism Game Studios, which devel-oped Lightning Assault.

“The app currently has around 250 downloads, al-though we currently do not have a way of tracking active users. A conservative esti-mate of users would probably run around 10 people,” Yan-coskie said.

Lightning Assault officially launched in December 2012 and is currently available to download on the app store for iOS.

Yancoskie also continues to grow his clientele with web design and has some new projects in the works with WebVisionPartners.com. His accumulated work so far can be seen on Yancoskie’s web-site VincentYancoskie.com.

The Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team heads to El Macero, Calif. to participate in the El Macero Classic this weekend. The three-day tourna-ment will be held April 18-20.

Originally named the Winchester Classic, the tournament changed golf courses and was renamed starting this season. In the Winchester Clas-sic last season, the Titans took home the tournament title with a 4-over 868.

The tournament field will include 11 other teams which features co-hosts UC Davis and Nevada, Mar-quette, Colorado State, Idaho, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Sacramen-to State, Utah Valley State, Boise State, Seattle University and Grand Canyon.

The Titans, who are ranked No. 54 in the GolfStat.com NCAA rankings, are the highest ranked team in the field. The next closest team is No. 72 UC Davis.

CSUF hopes to build off its fourth

place finish at the Desert Shootout back in March as it enters its fi-nal tournament before the Big West Championships later this month.

Senior Mark Anguiano looks to fin-ish his senior campaign on a positive note after finishing in third place at the Desert Shootout. His 12-under 204 helped CSUF to a top-five finish. In last year’s Winchester Classic, An-guiano finished in fifth place with a 1-under 215.

Junior Ryan Tetrault finished the Desert Shootout tied for eighth with a 9-under 207. In last season’s Win-chester Classic, he had the best tour-nament out of all Titans with a 2-un-der 214, good for a fourth place finish, one shot in front of Anguiano.

Freshman Kyle De Silva had his lowest score of the season at the Des-ert Shootout with a 216 while senior Josh Park shot a 15-over 231 to finish tied for 82nd place.

Senior Scott Rubzin competed as an individual in the Desert Shootout and finished in a tie for 59th after a 5-over 221.

Co-host UC Davis is coming off a fifth place finish at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic. The Aggies were led by Joshua Granger, who finished in 13th place, his career-best finish. Granger, who entered the final round

in second place, fell in the stand-ings after shooting a 74 in the final round.

Ben Corfee finished tied for 22nd after a final round of 68 moved him up the standings.

The Aggies were the team the Ti-tans bested in the final round to take home the title in the Winchester Classic. CSUF entered the final round in second place trailing UC Davis by three shots, but they shot a tourna-ment best 286 in the final round to move up into first place.

Oklahoma Christian, UC Santa Bar-bara and Sacramento State complet-ed the rest of the top-five standings.

If the Titans are able to secure a top-5 finish in the El Macero Clas-sic, it will be their sixth this season. The other CSUF top-5 finishes in-clude taking second place at the Itani Quality Home Collegiate, tourna-ment titles at the Bill Cullum Invita-tional and Folino Invitational, a fifth-place finish at the Jones Invitational and fourth place finish at the Desert Shootout.

The event will be held at the El Ma-cero Country Club and will be a par-72, 54-hole tournament.

For more information on the CSUF men’s golf team and all Titan Athlet-ics, go to FullertonTitans.com.

The Cal State Fullerton baseball team will look to get back on track as it hits the road for a Big West Conference show-down with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in a three-game series starting Thursday and concluding Saturday.

The Titans (18-13, 3-3 Big West) will have a dif-ficult challenge ahead as they look to knock off the No. 3 Mustangs (31-5, 8-1 Big West) from atop the conference standings. Cal Poly SLO is currently tied with UC Irvine in first, but they have both played three more games than the Titans so far in confer-ence play.

CSUF is coming off a se-ries loss to UC Santa Bar-bara, dropping two of three games to the Gau-chos. The team will at-tempt to regain consis-tency offensively while improving its 6-8 road record.

The Titans are batting .253 as a team. Putting the ball in play has been an issue as they have struck out 208 times up to this point in the season, fifth in the Big West. Strangely

enough, Cal Poly SLO is tied for the second most strikeouts out of the Big West schools with 216.

J.D. Davis enters the se-ries with a team-leading .339 batting average with three home runs and 24 runs batted in. The ju-nior’s 41 hits leads the team.

Matt Chapman and Tanner Pinkston have both been key to the Ti-tans’ offense and will look to continue their strong seasons. Chapman is hit-ting .275 with four home runs and 26 runs batted in while Pinkston comes in with a .330 average and 13 runs batted in.

When the Mustangs welcome the Titans to Baggett Stadium, they will do so while on a sev-en-game winning streak. The Mustangs’ lone con-ference loss came to UCSB earlier this month. They have yet to lose consecu-tive games this season.

With a team batting average of .301, the Mus-tangs’ offense has been tough to shut down. Nick Torres and Brian Mundell lead the team with four home runs each. Torres is batting .331 with 32 runs batted in while Mundell leads the team with 34 runs batted in.

Mark Mathias, who is batting .392 this season, has 26 runs batted in and 31 runs scored.

Pitching will be key to a

series win for both teams as two quality pitching staffs will be on display this weekend.

CSUF looks to Thomas Eshelman to continue his strong sophomore cam-paign. Eshelman is 5-1 this season and boasts a 2.08 earned run average and 52 strikeouts in 69.1 innings.

Phil Bickford, who is 3-2 this year, will attempt to continue his success in a bigger role for the Ti-tans. The freshman comes into the series with a 2.14 earned run average and 50 strikeouts in 46.1 innings.

The Mustangs counter with an impressive pitch-ing staff of their own, which has held opponents to a .229 batting average.

Casey Bloomquist has

yet to be defeated this sea-son and looks to improve his 8-0 record and 1.58 earned run average. He is one of three pitchers that have a combined record of 22-3 with the other two being Matt Imhof and Jus-tin Calomeni.

Imhof is 7-2 with a 2.07 earned run average and has a team-high 88 strike-outs in 61 innings while Calomeni has a 7-1 re-cord and 3.40 earned run average.

Over the past two sea-sons, the Titans are 4-2 against the Mustangs. The last series loss at the hands of Cal Poly came in 2011 when CSUF lost two of three.

For more information CSUF baseball and all Ti-tan Athletics, go to Fuller-tonTitans.com.

Two 49ers reached base on back-to-back fielding errors by Galarza. Antunez got senior second baseman Cya Neal to hit a weak pop fly to senior right fielder Lauren Mario for the sec-ond out. Taukeiaho fielded a hard ground ball off the bat of senior third base-man Hannah De Gaetano to end the inning.

“I really just tried to go into the game with a re-laxed and loose mindset out there,” Antunez said.

Mario doubled down the right-field line to lead off the bottom of the fifth inning. Junior Carissa Turang and Harris each reached base on a bunt. Taukeiaho singled to end the game due to the run rule.

The upset victory was much needed after the team had a disappointing series against UC Riverside last weekend.

“We’ve moved on from the weekend. I’ll tell you there’s no other way to move on than to play like that,” Ford said.

“(The win) was very important. Not only for

rankings but for our-selves,” Taukeiaho said. “This is going to help us out confidence-wise.”

The Titans hope to con-tinue their offensive out-burst against the 49ers in a

doubleheader Thursday at Anderson Field at 4 p.m.

For more information on the CSUF softball team and all Titan Athletics, go to FullertonTitans.com.

Freshman Phil Bickford will face his biggest test of the season in the form of the Mustangs. Cal Poly SLO is batting .301 as a team.
