The Student Voice of California State University, Fullerton Community rallies for donation 50 years of By Gina Baxter Daily Titan Staff Writer [email protected] journalism This past Saturday, May 1, over 7,000 people from all over Southern California rallied for the 8th Annual Donate Life Run/Walk event to support organ and tissue donation. The all-morning celebrated event, which drew big names such as Fullerton Mayor Don Bankhead and ABC Morning An- chor Phillip Palmer, was held to raise awareness for the process of organ donation and its affect on the many thousands of people who give and receive organ donations each year. The Cal State Fullerton campus was packed with a mix of runners, pets and vendors who came out alongside family and friends to walk a one or five kilometer route around the school, many of those people packed together in donor teams to remind others of those they’ve loved and lost. Bethany Vogel, a donor team captain and tissue recipient, gathered a group of 41 friends and family members to honor her late husband, Erich Vogel, who passed away late last year. Also in attendance were Erich’s brother, son and mother, who wore his picture on the backs of their run- By Chris Ullyott/Daily Titan Webmaster ning t-shirts in his memory.

Genelle Belmas, a professor of communications at CSUF, was instrumental in planning the event titled “Censorship at Every Turn.” “The big goal is to engage in a discussion about censorship,” said Belmas. “I absolutely believe in the saying that ‘Censorship is a reflection of society’s lack of confi- dence in itself.’ ” The first panel of experts to discuss censorship was composed of Jim Ewert of the California Newspaper Publishers Association; Ron Taylor, vice president of diverse programming for Fox Broadcasting Company; Mike Tharp, executive editor of the Merced Sun-Star and Tim Winter, president of Parents Television Council.

By gilbert gutierrez III Daily Titan Asst. Sports Editor [email protected]

After walking away from a per- fect 7-0 Southwestern Lacrosse Conference record, Cal State Ful- lerton men’s lacrosse club won their second consecutive SLC title by beating Biola University 12-7 on May 2. The Titans entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed and knocked off Concordia University 13-8, prior to repeating as SLC Div. II champions. Hosting the Concordia Eagles, the Titan defense dominated the Eagles’ offensive front and only allowed a total of 20 shots on goal photo courtesy Elizabeth Swiontek with a defense, led by Titan junior Junior midfielder Mike Ansel runs past two Biola defenders in the Titans’ 12-7 victory. goaltenders Justin Kappeler and Ozhan Kashkooli, who was No. Midfielders freshman Chris Cole, At halftime, the Titans led 5-1, 12 in Div.

After a bases loaded walk to Brittany Hendrickson in the fifth drove home the first run of the game, the Titans rallied back to snatch victory away from Pacific for the second- straight contest. Sophomore Morgan LeMond, whose two- run home run in the seventh innings of game two on Satur- day helped CSUF to an extra- inning win, singled with one out to start the rally and was pinch-run for by junior Sam- mie Dabbs. That brought up DeLeese who lifted a 1-0 pitch to short right field, but the ball found the jet stream and carried over the wall and out of the stadium down the right field line for her second home run of the year and a 2-1 Titan lead. Krystal Heinle (4-7), who allowed just three hits in the complete-game effort, then shut the door in the seventh, getting a flyout and a pair of ground balls to end the game and nail down the win. The Titans return home next weekend for the final time in 2010 as they welcome Long Beach State to Anderson Family Field for a three-game series on May 8 to 9.
