Thousands· not spent by colleges
Conege Council budget for next year slashed by $16,000; portions allotted elsewhere
By
ANTOINE SANCHEZ
STAFF WRITER
Did' you know that Associated Students
allocates about $50,000 to all seven College
Councils every acildemic year?
But according to recent figures, these
councils collectively have spent less than 10
percent of that.
.
As a result, the A.S. Finance Board has
decided to reduce the budget by $16,230 $10,000 of which will go toward an account
where it could be disbursed to diHerent student organizations.
.
The other $6,000 will go to two new funds:
a general activities fund, which helps student organizations, and a college councils
fund, which would allow the groups to
request money once their budget has depleted.

This year, the finance board has made
attempts to reach out through presentations

SDSU's graduating grandma gears up for commencement
By
KATIE ULLMAN
STAFF
WRIT~,
She's 60 years old, has raised 13 children,
has 20 gr:mdchildren, and graduates May
19 with a bachelor's in sociology and a psychology minor.
She's fellow classmate Jeanne Wheelerone of the university's "older" kids.
Wheeler denied her original acceptance
to San Diego State during her senior year at
Chula VISta High School beCause of financial reasons.
.
But· she didn't tum down her .second
acceptance in Fall 1999, when she became a
full-time Aztec.
Wheeler attended Southwestern Com.muility College on and off for many years
before transferring with 100 units to SDSU,
when her youngest
child began her
sophomore year of
high school.
Wheeler said
she has a 3.6 grade
point average that
includes some of the
C's she got back in
the '60s. She doesn't
seem' to mind the
WHEElER
age difference
among herself and
the other students, and likes having classes
with younger people.
"All of these young people are so fresh,
exciting and iOteresting," Wheeler said.
"For the most part they haVt; been pretty
I
nice to me."
Wheeler said there are benefits to being
an older college student.
'
"Because of my age, I know that no matter how much you learn, there's always
more to learn," Wheeler said. "You can
never really know everything about anything."
She also said it's easier to study when
social life isn't a priority, as it is for younger
students.
Wheeler is very p~ud of herself and is
excited to take part in the commencement
process.
"Ceremonies give dignity to, the things
we achieve," Wheeler said. "For that reason,
I'm going to go cihead and go through the
graduation cere~ony."
She also wants to "get even with her kids"
.....:.. after sitting through 17 graduations, it's
her tum to participate.
Wheeler said her family is very supportive and proud, and that eight of her
children plan to attend the commencement ceremony.
"Because of a lack of tickets, the grandchildr~n can't come," Wheeler said.
"There's so many of them."
Like many college students, Wheeler
plans to get a job after she graduates.
"I'm hoping to work at San Diego Hospice," Wheeler said. "I've appli£d for a
position there, and won't know for a couple of weeks if I get it or not."
If she doesn't land the job, Wheeler said
she'll keep on looking.
"I'm not going to stay hornet Wheeler
said. "I did that for 40 years."

SOSU says goodbye to two legends
After 29 years, James Cobble hangs up his many hats
Bv REBECCA' MARTIN,
STAFF WRITER
he success of the graduate program at San Diego State
Tcan
be i\ttributed to one man.
The man, James Cobble, dean of the Graduate Divi.
sian and vice president of
Research, is retiring after 29
years on campus.
Since his, tenure
began, 12 joint-doctoral
JAMES
programs and 15 master's
COBBlE
programs have been
launched in his department.
The graduate school has doubled in size, and the research
budget has risen from $20
million to more than $125
million.
"He's made an enormous
difference at San Diego State,"
Provost Nancy Marlin said. ''It's a very
different institution than it was when he
came here, largely because he's worked so
hard."
SDSU is currently ranked No. 33 in the number of
advanced degrees given in the Uni ted Sta tes. SDSU also .
has major academic partnerships with University of
California San Diego, University of California Davis
and University of California Santa Barbara.
"This institution is unique and wonderful in the high
quality graduate programs it offers with the low cost
to students," Cobble said.
Marlin· said graduate research' helps everyone,' not
just graduate students. Many faculty O)embers have'
active research and large numbers of undergraduate
students work on research projects with faculty. Cobble's work ilffects the entire campus body.
.
"I'm going to miss the place," Cobble said. "1 know
practically where all the bricks on the buildings are.
"I've enjoyed the time I've been here. I'm happy
about what I've been able to accomplish, even though
when I look back, it doesn't seem all that much."
Cobble started as an undergraduate student at
SDSU in the '40s. He said after World War II started, he
tried to take as many classes as he could before he was
shipped overseas.
"He's a funny guy, and an old:fashioned g'entleman," Senate Chair Bonnie Zimmerman said.
"One thing that has impressed me the most about
him, especially through our work in the senate, is how
committed and devoted he is to this university, to the
faculty, to the students and to the programs we've built
here. The university will miss him." ,
Cobble said he plans to travel, take up music and
catch up on his reading after he retires. However, he
doesn't plan to stop working entirely. He is on the
board of the Fred J. Hansen Institute fcir World Peace,
formed by the SQSU Foundation. The institute provides money for. the progress of' global peace programs. He will also continue his work as a consultant
for the Chemistry Department.
The University Senate gave Cobble a plaque last \
Tuesday for his 29 yems of service. He has presided
over 220 senate meetings, and more. than 300 meetings
l1f the council of deans.
'
Cobble said he is proud of what he has accomplished for the university.
"I'll miss se.eing whole groups of new students; and
I'll miss seeing my faculty friends and administrative
friends, but I'm going out feeling good," Cobble.said.
"I'm still in good health, I've still got things I want
to do in life and I felt I've made some small contribu.
tion that makes me feel good. .
"I haven't wasted the taxpayer's money."
"I'm going to Iit§SS Ule ulace.

. "During the crisis, our conservati.:>n
efforts worked well because of how and
when we chose to operate," Administrative
Operations Analyst for Physical Plant Bill
Lekas said. "When California's energy
reserves became low, we programmed
buildings into conservation mode by setting
valves to their minimums and shutting off
heating."
SDSU is currently constructing a new cogeneration plant. The existing one accounts
for 33 percent of the total megawatt load,
but the modern one will supply 100 percent
of the school's electrical output.
"When it's completed, we will be totally
self- sufficient," Lekas said. "We'll be our
own energy provider."

STAFF WRITER
During the electricity crisis last year, the
lights may have been turned off periodically
throughout the county, but they were always
on at San Diego State.
On April 24, Mayor Dick Murphy granted
SDSU. the San Diego Climate Wise/Energy
Partner of the Year award for performing
three energy-related achievements ..
First, the university is a founding member
of the group, which is devoted to reducing
greenhous,e emissions in the city. Also, SDSU
has been and still is committed to energy
, conservation - about 30 percent was cut
during the crisis ~ and the university is
invol ved in the San Diego Green Schools Program, which seeks to promote conservation
in the community.
The Physical Plant traveled to high schools
to talk about the importance of conservation,

Some faculty and staff went a halfway house

energy-efficient air conditioning equipment

"We donated all labor and materials,"
Burns said.
Amidst the crisis, the university participated in state and local conservation programs. The electrical freeway billboard was

Abdallah's attorney, Kerry
Steigerwalt, told The Union-Tribune that the words were written
by an IS-year-old student, whom
he did not want to identify. He
said it was written after the terrorist attacks and does not prove
that his client had prior information about the attacks.
The documents are the first
. public record to describe Abdal-
lah's connections with the hijackers. It is part of the immigrationfraud case against Abdallah.
Abdallah, 23, testified before a
grand jury in Ne'wV York and was
indicted by a federal grand jury in
San Diego Oct. 24.
He was charged with making
false statements on an application
for asylum in which he said he,
was a Somali refugee, when he is '
actually' from Yemen. His bail
was set at $500,000. Abdallah has
not yet posted bail.

CALIFORIIIA FACULTY ASBOCIATlOII
.The Faculty Say "Thank You"
The California Faculty Association -tl:Je faculty union-has reached a tentative agreement with the CSU Administration on a three-year contract.
Faculty members statewide voted by 95% to approve the agreement.
This agreement includes important provisions that will help to maintain the qualityof
the education that we offer. These provisions include:
• Guaranteed "step increases" for junior faculty and eligible lecturers
• Commitmerit by the CSU Administration to search for 1200 new
tenure-track faculty (statewide) during 2002-2003
• Health benefits for lecturers who teach at least two classes
• Greater job security for lecturers
• Recognition that the student/faculty ratio has grown to a level of "serious concern," with the implicit commitment to work toward reducing
.
..
this ratio.
These gains would not have been possible without the hard work and support of the
faculty, students, staff and other unions on this campus and throughout the state. '
This includes activities such as~
• Attending the Teach CSUffeach-Ins .
Signing cards to CSU Chancellor Reed and the CSU Board.ofTrusiees
• Going to CSU Board of Trustees meetings .
• Participating in the CFA demonstration at th~ Marriott in San
Francisco, at the Sutter Club in Sacramento, on campus and elsewhere
• Lobbying at the State Capitol
\
• Wearing buttons, t-shirts, or other signs of support
!
CFA thanks the entire campus community for your support.
We are committed to continuing to work on our common issues to make all
the CSU campuses better places in which to work and to learn.

all those journalism-type classes will
never get you a job as a journalist.
Here's why.
You have to be a journalist to be a
journalist, and unless you're a journalist, you won't be hired to be a journalist because you're not a journalist.
It's that simple, and it's not some
myth to scare off the uncommitted or
those without the "true" oesire to be a
journalist. You can want to be a journalist more than anyone, but if you try
to sell yourself to a newspaper with a
degree and a smile, and maybe a portfolio of your best in-class assignments,
the editor will ask you the same thing

And you get neither of these in a

for five years. I have been a city writer,

editor and a managing editor; I have'
wor-ked for two papers, a weekly and a

sports writing, criticism and editorial
writing; my work has been chosen as
best on the Web by The Wall Street Journal; and I am earning two bachelor's
degrees.
This is most of my resume, and when
I applied for a job as a journalist, the

I had to have more.

A tribute to Ben Abel
H
e has offended, opined, educated, enlightened and
offended some more. He holds (we're fairly sure) the
all-time Daily Aztec record for inducing the most letters to
the editor. He has written for The Daily Aztec for four
semesters and he's done it all with class. Whether you
agreed with what he had to say, or hated every word of it,
chances are when you opened up the paper, you read Ben
Abel's column first.
.
The lone Aztec conservative graduates this semester
and we'll miss him greatly. He wa~sset to the Op~­
ion section, to the paper ant.i-to-f1le campus.
.But let's le~ the ~r.iting do the talking. To give you a
glImpse of this terrific guy, here are a few quotes by and'
about Ben:
"If (George W.) Bush was a Democrat, I'd hate him "
(Ben 1bel, to friends, 2001).
.
'
"When I told the Opinion section that I was going to go
to a Young Democrats meeting, they recoiled in horror.
'Th~Y'!l tear you to piece~!' they said: 'We'll never see you
agam! I countered that, smce I was not an unborn child, I
would probably make it out alive," ("Democrat like me,"
Ben Abel, May 21, 2001).
"As one of the students traveling abroad this summer
to China, I find your one-sided, egotistic opinion way 'off .
base!" ("Letters: Ben burns bridges with women," May 7,
2001).
. '
"In your column· you defend and protect the very
'qu~tionable,'
if not racist, practices of your counterparts.
Do you believe that the Americanpeople are this gullible
and naive? How infantile can you be/Ben?" ("Letters:
Graduate cries Republican," Jan. 31, 2001).
"Getting back to Amarillas' letter, I find no substance
within that ~ly addresses any of the very valid and persuasive arguments presented in Abel's article," ("Letters:
. Witty man defends Ben, "humiliates Democrats," Feb. 14,2001).
'''Everyone on this campus who plans to vote for presi- .
dent (all 20 them) has probably made up ,his/her mind
about whom they will vote for, and I'm praying it's Ralph
Nader." ("Mediafoeus on polls creates misconceptions," Ben,
Abel, Oct. 2, 2000).
"Please tell me, what is so bad about the freedom to .
publicly disagree with everything Ben Abel ever said?"
, ("America has lessons to learn," Ben Abel, Sept. -16, 2001).

a
In truth, neither of you are in a position to say word.
Neither.
The Daily Aztec offers the opportunity to build strong
clips and experience in a number of positions ranging
from contributor to editor in chief to advertising director to art director; it is a flexible environment you won't
find at an internship, and it's a level of responsibility
you won't find there either. From here, you can build
contacts and a platform from which to get the better
internships.
'
Your degree must be augmented; it must be in addition to practical experience.
'
Most of. those employed at The DaUy Aztec are not
journalism majors, and neither are many of our applicants. On a campus where journalism is impacted meaning there are more of you than there are classes
available, or jobs available when you graduate - this
is a mystery, and one that suggests most journalism
majors are banking on their degrees getting them their
foot in the door.
Sorry -let's see those clips and that experien'ce.
I 'did land a job, but it followed a very sobering trail
of debasement, which placed my accomplishments in
the context of the larger world.
I'll be working for the Associated Press, but you won't
- not unless you realize the insignificance of your
degree.
My recommendation: don't major in journalism,
minor in it - get your degree in a field you'd like to
cover as a journalist (science, art, politics) and pick up
the law aspects as a minor; intern; and work for The
Daily Aztec.
If you don't, you'll just be f....king yourself.

inside. I can see theater patrons wandering through the maze, expecting
to fight a minotaur at any moment."
University President Stephen
Weber had this to say to the critics:
"Sure it may appear useless, but look
at it! It's pretty sweet looking. Just
imagine how much it will enhance
our brochures.:.'
Others' criticism was leveled not at
the utterly useless design, but rather
the unimaginative name. A.S. Representative James Daly authored a resolution last week to change the name
of the theater to the "Chavez/King
. New Don Powell Theatre."
.
Speaking at last week's Associated
Students meeting, Daly said, "Come
on guys! We've got to put a little more
thought into the new name. We can't
just recycle and regurgitate cliche
names. I propose we eliminate 'New
Don Powell' and simply call it the
'Chavez/King Theatre.' We already
used that name for 30 years, and who
the hell is Don Powell anyway?"
Construction of the new theatre is
set to begin in the next 30 days, and
will take approximately four decades
to complete. Students are advised to
take this into account when planning
their schedules for the fall term.

Rat mind control sets scary precedent
he question of animal rights is one that
comes up relatively often in our society. It has been said that only a philosopher
or a fool could insist that animals don't feel
pain. To this list, groups like People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals' and the
Association of Veterinarians for Animal
Rights would probably add sci~ntists.
They are most often the target of animal
rights groups' actions; experimentation on
animal subjects is one of the most closely
debated' issues in this difficult ethical
arena.
The argument usually goes something
like this: Tl;le animal rights advocate is
angered that the scientist is hurting the
animal subject; the scientist contends that
the experiment, while perhaps gruesome
for the animal, will ultimately save human
T
lives, and isn't that a fair trade-off, In our
society, those on the utilitarian side of this
debate usually win, and the experiments
go forward.
Yet consider the following: In the May 2
edition of the journal Nature, neuroscientists at the State University of New York
Downstate Medical Center revealed that,
in'a project funded partly by the U,S, military, they have designed a way to direct
the brain patterns of rats,

carries a radio transmitter/receiver, battery and video camera. From the pack,
electrodes are passed through the rats'
skulls and directly into their brains. Two
are inserted into the brain regions that usually process the input from the rats' left
and right whiskers.
When stimulated, scientists theorize
that they send a general directional signa),

The new date also has implications for the most famous

Literally.
.
One experiment was conducted where a scientist working from a laptop computer was able to '
send a "wired" rat through a complex threedimensional maze consisting of ladders, filing
cabinets and wooden boards. The rats are controllable at distances of up to 500 meters.
Researchers were even able to force the rats
a~ross brightly lit areas'of the lab. This is significant because, if left to their own devices, the rats
,would never v~nture there. They instinctually
prefer dark, well-hidden areas.
Essentially, the idea is that armies of these
"robo-rats" could be sent into war zones as
expendable reconnaissance tools or mine sweepers. They could also be used in rescue areas too
dangerous or confined for humans to work in.
Frankly, this is an ethical nightmare. If the
phrase "playing God" hasn't already come to
your mind, then you need only wait a few years
and a New York scientist will probably be able to
put it there for you.
"I certainly don't think it would be a good idea
to put these in primates, or especially in humans,"
said John K. Chapin, a professor of physiology
and pharmacology at the medical center, in an
interView with The Boston Globe.
What these scientists are saying is this: "We
don't want to risk the lives of humans, we certainly wouldn't consider stuffing electrodes into
the heads of any cute animals. Plus, robots capable of the same range of motion as your average
rat are really expensive. Can you bl!\me us?"

We can, and we should.
, Taking away an individual's right to self-direction, to its own autonomy, is ethically untenable.
Just because it's a rat doesn't mean it's OK. Some
rats are able to solve more complex problems'than
some dogs. Some examples of every species,
,including ours, are just stupid. Does this mean
we're allowed to wire them up and send them off
to do our bidding?
,
Researchers at the center have defended their
actions by claiming that, since after a week's
training they don't need to use the pleasure center shock to get the rats to tum, they are ultimately
moving of their own accord.
This is where that "philosopher or. a fool"
axiom comes in. If the rat is choosing to do something that it wouldn't otherwise do, in the expectation of being rewarded, it isn't truly making its
, own choice. In other words, if it weren't for the
electrodes, the rat wouldn't be crossing that
'
brightly lit floor.
In response, scientists point to the fact that they
can't force the rats to kill themselves. For example, no amount of pleasure jolts will make them
jump off high ledges.
Disregarding the fact that this means the
researchers have tried to get the rats to kill tlzemselves, it still doesn't absolve what's being done of
its immorality. So they can't get a rat to jump off
a ledge, so what? At least there's something 100
million years of evolution is good for.
This sort of scientific work represents a real
problem. It goes beyond simply experimenting
on animals as preliminary work for human trials.
In this realm, we've begun actively commanding
other sentient beings without their consent, At the
very least, it requires of us some serious pause for
thought before any further experiments are conducted.

Ron Williams
Williams strove to 'lead with conviction'
continued from page 21
The focus now lies within student activism.
"There are only so many students who are going to participate in boards and committees
and council and senate," he says.
"But any student can participate
in activism."
It's about empowering. those
students who are participating,
he says, the passion evident in his
tone. It does no good for a couneil to sit back and do nothing. But
that's not what this year's couneil did. This year, the council
pushed the envelope.
"I think that we spoke up on a
lot of issl,les, particularly this
spring semester," he says, leaning forward, his face animated.
"Whether people agree with
them or not, we stood up for
something; It's ~bout leading
with conviction."
And leading with conviction is
exactly what the A.S. Council did
this semester when they passed
the vote of no confidence in
Provost Nancy Marlin.
The AS. Council, especially
Williams, received a lot of heat
from the campus administration
and faculty because of that vote.
However, he stands by the council's decision, even after the University Senate passed a countervote declaring its confidence in
the provost.
Williams says he doesn't
always have to agree with the
coUncil's position, but he agreed
and whole-heartedly supported
the resolution.
The vote of no confidence
caused a lot of waves on campus,
and many wonder if anything
has or will be resolved by it.
Williams, who stands at the ce'nter of the controversy, has continued to do his job regardless of
criticism.
lilt's taxing, but, I get up every
day and come here and do this
job for the 34,000 students who
are enrolled in this school," he
says. "I'm the only person who
gets to do the job this year, and it's
challenging.
, He believes some good did
come of the vote, and more will
come in the future.
"Some people made the argument that student government
took a step backward," he says. "I
argue the student government
took a quantum leap forward
with regard to standing up for
what we believe in."
Regardless of the backlash,
Williams regrets nothing. A.S.
did what they needed to do.
Williams even met with Marlin
the Friday prior to the vote and
talked with her about the resolution.
Williams says, like all decisions in life, reflecting on them
always brings up the possibility a
person might do it differently.
"It's easy to sit back and look
at how you could have done' it
differently, but, as a president, I
don't apologize for what we did
and how we did it.'"
II
Williams receives the cold shoulder from people on campus for
his stance on the mascot and the provost. Anthony DeCosta! Dally Aztec
This isn't the first time
Williams has been amidst controversy. He clearly remembers the
drama surrounding the mascot.
For Williams, the mascot
debate was a trip because the student government was forced to
deal with the issue without any
help from the administration.
"I see this as we're in ittogether," he says. "And we're sitting
here with no leadership or support.
Some people said the council
shouldn't have passed the mascot resolution, but he argues they
should have. The council shouldn't apologize. A.S. passed the resolution because they have a
responsibility to the minority of
the population, regardless of
how small it is.

Rhodes is willing to do just ~bout anything to be homecoming king
.
Rhodes stands and thrusts an ann in the
air, calling out to a buddy who has just
entered the pqtio. He introduces his friend, ,
who joins us and immediately goes on
record with a conunent on Rhodes' masturbatory habits. Rhodes laughs and doesn't hesitate to hand over a fistful of dollars
when his friend indicates he is too broke to
join us for a beer.
"I'm all about San Diego State: It's my
place of employment; it's where I go to
school and it's where I, you know, goof off,
man," Rhodes says.
"It's all about San Diego State."
The Kiss My Aztec is also "all about
State," or at least all about topics the editor
feels State students would find entertaining when the articles stray from subjects
directiy related to campus. Rhodes says
that he, like most students, turns to The
Daily Aztec when he wants to know what
issues the university is facing.
Rhodes then takes the news, or his writers do, and abstracts it, attempting satir.

"It is sh.... /piss jokes, it's naughty, it's in

"That's what it's intended to be, and I
wouldn't have it any other way."
However, he defends the caliber of writing, and its satirical merit.
"We don't just want to write sh.... without having any sort of value to it. When
you write stuff, you have to write thinking,
here's a joke in this line.
"Every single line has some sort of satirical value."

"If there is an issue for 1 percent, it's an issue for the 100 percent."
Williams still finds it embarrassing that more students,voted
for the mascot than in any general election, including the recent
fee referendum. Those arc student fees - fees that directly
impact the student experience by
how much they have to pay.
A.S. Council also received
flack from the university for
allowing the students to vote on
the issue.
"We had the responsibility to
do that," Williams says. "They
had a lot of signatures - that was
a student outcry. It was more signatures tl1an we had ever seen."
Still, Williams' accomplishments have not come without
, sacrifices.
,
There are still people on campus who don't talk to him
because of the mascot ordeal, and
others who don't speak to him
because of the vote of no confidence.
Williams leans back in his
chair. The interview is winding
down, and time has flown since
we first began. Throughout the
interview, Williams has stuck by
his decisions and refuses to apologize for the most controversial
actions taken by him and the
council in years.
If given the chance, would he
do anything differently?
Williams stops to think, his
face betrays that he is reflecting_
To demonstrate his awareness, Rhodes
sips from his beer - which sits sidelined
by his streaming narrative - and rattles
off a series of quick quips.
He likes Ambassador Montezuma,
though he says he looks like '~Fred Flintstone on peyote," and he refers to the
Associated Students as "confidently
retarded." He sees alcohol on campus as
an individual problem, and not one of the
university, and of President Weber, he
appreciates the difficulty of his job, but dis·
agrees with his vision of a bigger is better
university, suggesting that Weber work
with what he has..
Rhodes ca& out to a passerby, and then
begins speaking about the tradition he
hopes to establish with The Kiss My Aztec,
a tradition of release, and humor, and fun
for the students of San Diego State. He also
speaks in a tone not unlike a warning
about next year, and how we haven't seen
anything yet.
"We haven't had that truly breakout
iSsue where everyone is like, 'OK, drop
everything, I need to write these f*"kers an
e-mail; I need to call somebody - this has
got to stop .. , or this has got to keep
going,lII Rhodes says.
By now the '80s band and its fans are all
but gone, Rhodes' friend has returned and
introduces another friend, and the owner
of the pub has come by to deride Tlte Daily
Aztec as unprofessional on two occasions.
An ambulance chases its siren down
nearby College Avenue.
What kind of paper is The Kiss My Aztec?
"Our goal and our point is to be a consistent release for people," the communication senior says. "The point was to give
people a good time for free."
Rhodes pauses, fills our glasses and
apologizes for the head.
.
" It's a f*"k-offpaper. That's how I would
describe it."
Then he laughs.

came full

Weber
continued from page 21
like watching.an old Western gunfight at high noon - vola'tile and
a little unsettling.
However, ~t's ?iffi~ult to deny that the ~versity has improved
under Weber s drrection, even though he will tell y.ou it has nothing
to do with h i m . '
.
Incoming students are better prepared and more diverse than '
tlley were six years ago. G~ant~ and c<.>ntracts have increased 63 percent. SDSU programs are mching their way up national recognition'
lists ..
But, the future weighs heavily on Weber's mind, which is obvious by the way he furrows his brow before answering my question
on the state of ~ext rear's bu~get. .
.).
'
W?en he settled mas preSl?ent m 1?96, tfie uruversity was just
starting to recover from drastic statewide budget cuts in the early
part o.f the decade. The economy was pumping again, which translated mto a steady flood of money into the university's checkbook.
Now, fue party is ending. With another round of substantial cuts
looming, fue university is bracing for what might be a difficult year.
"This is really fue most critical issue we have in front of us at tile
moment," he says. "The fact is, right now, we don't even know what
fue problem is.
.
.
"Nobody expects iliat (the budget) will be better than the budget we had in January. We all expect it will be considerably worse."
Weber - who earns about $225,000 each year - says he's confident iliat fue university will pull furough the rough times, confident
in fue abilities of fue people who lead the university under him.
He's familiar wifu rough times, having guided the university
through some of the biggest tragedies in its lOS-year history.
On Aug. 15, 1996:- only about a month after he moved into his
office - furee engineering professors were shot and killed on campus by a graduate student.
Weber's voice lowers as he remembers the sadness of the campus. He glances down at a glass of water resting on a marble coaster and describes the shock he felt at the time, a shock that was multiplied by a lack of context:
,
"If I had been atSDSU for 20 years~ I would have recognized what
a strange and abnormal fuing that was," he says. "I would have
lived fuat hi&tory; I would have known it without anyfuing else.
"I knew intellectually fuat fuis was a strange and aberrant event,
but I didn't know it furough my own experience."
This experience came full circle when Sept. 11 hit. As the nation
scrambled for some guidance, many stUdents looked toward Weber.
A few days after the attacks, more,than 2,000 people crammed on
and around the Free Speecl1 Steps for a memorial service. Out of the
,loudspeaker came Weber's words of friendship, understanding and
caution.
Many say this is his greatest streng til - the ability to help the
campus heal when tragedy strikes.
,
But his tenure on campus hasn't all been so sweet. He's rufflea.
his share of feathers, most recently over the mascot controversy. '
Weber takes a long breath and sighs thoughtfully when I ask him
to critique the media's portrayal of the situation, which shone a giant
national spotlight on the university.
"
,He says the issues were reported accurately and fairly - for the
most part. He recognizes that the attention SDSU received - and is
still receiving almost two years later - is consistent with that of
other schools grappling with the same issues. '
, "It is always possible in these situations for people to poke fun at
organizations they feel are being politically correct," he says. "I don't
think it was in a way iliat was malicious or mean-spirited."
,
From his office in Centennial Hall, Weber spends a lot of time
fuinking about the future, even though it's one that right now seems
unsteady.
'
Thousands of students are converging upon California colleges.
Many professors are retiring. Campuses, like SDSU, are battling
their desires to expand with the dollars and space available.
He pauses when I ask him if another administrative position is in
hisfuture.·
"1 doubt it," he says, crossing his arms and leaning back in his
chair. "I've done iliat. Presidencies are much more fun."
The sun briefly peaks out from behind the clouds. The outline of
fue empty seats in fue Open Air Theatre becomes clear tru;ough
Weber's office window. The moving figures of students walking to
class are visible.
He leans forward.
.
"It's a wonderful privilege to be an educator," he says, smiling.
"It's a way of making your life count.
"It's a way of advancing the human drum."

SDSU gets Ute;;.nized
Aztecs lo~e, passed over

By KYLE ERICKSON
STAFF WRITER
San Diego State's softball program has
been on a steady rise in the last few'years.
Every year there's been a few more wins,. a
few more star players, more national
recognition.'
'
SDSU continued that trend this
year: adding more
wins, getting huge
years from many
players and even spending time in the top25, The one thing the Aztecs still haven't
been able to do: win the Mountain West
Conference Tournament.
SDSU (41-22-1) was upset by Utah Saturday for the MWC Championship, 8-1.lt
was the second consecutive title game lost
by the Aztecs; last year they were defeated
byBYU.
Amber Grahlman wouldn't let the loss
dampen the amazing season the Aztecs
have had, including winning the regular
season conference title.
"Everything we accomplished can't be
taken away with one loss," she said. "One
loss doesn't make a season."
The Utes (30-34) were able to get to the
usually dominate Bre DeSanta early. Utah
erupted in the second with five runs on just
four hits.
The Utes added a sixth run in the top of
the third frame when Niki Hayhurst hit a
,solo home run.' Utah added runs in the
fifth, Hayhurst RBI single, and seventh,
solo homer by Melissa Stahnke, to pad its
lead.
. The Aztecs finally got on the board in
.the fourth/'when Tiffany Goudy came in
to score on a Grahlman groundout.
That would be all SDSU would get off
Jennifer Pursell (18-17). The Utes' starter
.gave up just six hits, all singles, and the one
run in going the distanl=e.
.
Kelcy Murphy placed the Aztecs offensive struggles more on themselves than on
the Utes' pitcher.
"She got the job done, but a lot of it was
in our heads," she said. "We had three
strike outs in a row. It's not too often a team·
. that usually has 10 plus hit games does
that. They got the job done, and we aidn't."
DeSanta (20-9) took her first loss against
a conference opponent. She lasted just
three innings giving up six runs on five

.
"I wasn't on," she said. "Things just didn't go my way. Some games are like that, I
just didn't have all my stuff."
.
Late Sunday night, SDSU learned that It
did not earn an at-large bid into the NCAA
Tournament.
THE ROAD TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP

Aztecs defeated both BYU and New Mexico.·

The Red and Black was well represented at the MWC awards banquet. Along
with the regular season trophy, SDSU
earned numerous individual awards.
DeSanta was named MWC Pitcher and
Freshman of th~ Year for her stellar rookie season.
Head Coach Kat,hy Van Wyk was
named Coach of the Year for the team's
14-4 conference finish.
The Aztecs also had seven players

A
t certain points during my collegiate
career, I was sure one of three things
would happen before I graduated. One,
the Boston Red Sox would win a World
Series .. If not, then certainly after three
years of torment from people who have
never lived in Northern California, the
word "hella" would disappear from my
vocabulary. And, if that failed, without a
doubt, hell would freeze over; .
Barring any changes, none will happen
by Saturday.

'
I'm shocked.
I've been looking for the finish line for a
long time. At times, it seemed to get farther
away - you'd think it too if it took you
seven years (my first four at Santa Rosa
Junior College) to graduate.
As astounded as I am, J've spent some
time reflecting upon my three years at San
Diego State, and I've realized a lot about
the place I've come to call home. It hasn't
been all roses - hardly the case.
I guess you could call it a love/h<!te relationship. ,
On one occasion, I almost transferred to
get away from the calamity and confusion
ofSDSU .
The overcrowding, the lack of classes,
the computer that wouldn't let me register
for classes I wanted in five of six semesters
- all have been a thorn in my side.
Believe me. Frustration isn't descriptive
enough.
But that's not what it's about for me.
After all, I'm walking out of here with a
degree. I've sJ.lrvived crashing classes,
fighting for lab time and 8 a.m. classes.
I hardly recognize myself as the person
that walked onto this campus in August of,
1999.
lowe that to SDSU.
It all started with getting involved in my
school through The Dnily Aztec and the
Athletic Department.
For starters, the endless trips that have
sent me to Chicago, Boston, Duke University and Ohio State University. Eleven
trips in all. Even if I do write for a studen~
paper, I've traveled to all of these as a professional, and you can't learn that feeling
from behind a desk.
Similar experiences coupled with hanging around a great bunch of people at The
DA have shaped my writing skills much
more than I ever imagin,ed. I won't ever
.' forget the paper or the numerous friendships ('ve made.
Nor could I forget the sports. The
improbable fo~)tball win at BYU. The 2002
Mountain West Conference Basketball
Tournament. The two NCAA Tournaments. The seasons with men's and
women's volleyball. All have provided me
with a wealth of sporting knowledge and
relationships I won't soon discard.
And lest we forget why I came here partying.
When I got here, I thought it was all
i}bout partying. I was incorrect.
Don't get me wrong.
I love to have fun. My friends from the
Tuxedo, Golfcrest, Beach and Green houses can attest - as well as a s~rly bunch
from the days at The Corner.
But what I think really came out of all
those fun times, was'what I gained from it
socially. When I got here, I wasn't so certain of myself - I was quiet and reserved.
That kid is gone now. I walk around a lot
taller and more sure of myself. Not to mention the improvement of my BS-in~ skills.

NCAA run ends with second-round loss to Bruins
Aztecs win first-round
match over Hampton
By CARLOS MANZANILLO
STAFF WRITER
The.5an Diego State men's tennis team's NCAA Tournament
run was cut short Sunday at the
hands of the No.2-ranked UCLA
Bruins.
UCLA moved its lifetime mark
over No. 29 SDSU to a perfect 26owith a 4-1 win at the LosAngeles Tennis Center.
The loss ended the Aztecs season with an 18-9 record.
SDSU began the day on a positive, winning the doubles point.
The No. 52 team of Valentino Pest
and Felix Hardt won 8-1~ setting
the tables for Oliver Maibergei
and Ryan Redondo's 8-6 upset of
the No.1 team in the nation, JeanJulien-Rojer and Marcin
Matkowski.
However, it wasn't in the cards
for the Aztecs.
"I honestly felt like we were
going to win the match," head
coach John Nelson said. "We lost
two sets in tiebreakers and we
were winning another match in
the third set when play was
stopped."
HAMPTON SHUT OUT
SDSU won its eighth-straight
match Saturday and earned the
right to advance to the second
round of the NCAA Tournament
with a 5-0 victory over the Hampton Pirates on Saturday.
"We are one of the better teams
in the country and we feelthat we
can play with anybody," Nelson
said.
The first ever meeting'between
these two teams turned into one
of the more impressive wins of
the year for the Aztecs, who blew
th~ Pirates out of the water by
dominating play in almost every
facet of the match.
Doubles action has been a
source of strength for SDSU ail
season and on this day, it was no
different. Maiberger and Redondo defeated the Pirates' duo of
Tomas Ibler and Pyung Koo Lee
8-5, while in the No. 2 doubles
position Hard't and Pest conquered Leonardo Casadei and
Glauco Nascimento 8-3 to secureth~ doubles point for the Red and
Black.
Winning the doubles point has
- almost been routine for the Aztets
, who finished the season claiming
13 consecutive doubles points.
The Aztecs continued their
dominance into singles playas
they pummeled the Mid-Eastern
- Athletic Conference Champs 4-0.
In a show of focus and efficiency,
the Red and Black did not drop a
set.
Hardt started the runforSDSU,
making quick work of Nascimento 6~1, 6-1 in the No.2 slot.

Aztecs don't get point
SDSU falls 4-3 to No.
19 Arizona in NCAAs
By TREVOR HEWEY
STAFF WRITER
One more point seems to be a
theme for San Diego State's
women's tennis team in important matches.
No. 26 SDSU (18-9) lost in the
first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, falling to No.
19 Arizona 4-3. The Aztecs' prior
match to this was a one-point loss
to UNLV in the Mountain West
Conference Championships.
''It came down to a couple
points here and there,'~ senior
Ka tey Becker said. lilt really could
have gone either way."
SDSU's players said it was not
a total loss.
. "It was a very good match,"
Junior Kaija Karrento said. "We
just ran a little short. We do not
feel too bad though because we
all feel we gave it our best effort.
"We just played a great team."
The match got underway with
doubles play, which has been a
strength for SDSU all season.
Unfortunately for the Aztecs, the
~ildcats were even' stronger.
Their top doubles team, Debbie
Larocque and Maja Mlakar, r~nks
No.9 in the nation and had no
problem defeating Karrento and
sophomore KatalinaRomero,8-3.
, ~fter senior Julie Chidley and
JUnIor Lindsey' Hedberg lost 8-4
at the No.3 doubles position, Arizona grabbed tne doubles point
and the two teams headed into
singles play.
'!The doubles point was cru- cial," Karrento said. ''It made it
very hard for us to come back and
that ended up being the difference in the match." "
SDSU did battle back and got
wins on courts four, five and six.
All the Aztecs needed was a win
from any of the top three positions. It never came.
Hedberg put up the strongest
resistance to the Wildcats'
onslaught by winning the first set
6-1, before dropping the next two,
3-6,4-6.
Junior Silvia Tornier, who
ranks No. 69 in the nation, went'
up against No. 19 Mlakar on
court one. Mlakar was too much
for Tornier and won in straight
sets 6-4, 6-3.
The loss brings a close to the
SDSU's NCAA bid, but look for
the Red and Black to be in the
hunt again nex~ season. The
Aztecs will be returning their top
four singles players and both of
their top doubles teams. Another
bright spot is fresh~an stand?ut
Indra Erichson who IS only gomg
' to improve with more playing
time and coaching.
'
With many players comin~
back with ano~heryear of expert-,
ence, and a strong recruiting
class, SDSU is very close to breaking out.
Perhaps then, that one. point
'that kept eluding them thIS sea~
son will not be so hard to take.
In order for the San Diego
State women's track team to get.
to the bayous 9f Louisiana, they
must first scale the mountains of
Colorado.
This week SDSU will head to
the high altitude and rarefied air
ofthe Rockies to compete in the
Mountain West Conference
Championships at the Air Force
-Academy in Colorado Springs.
While the squad wants to give
a convincing performance, best-ing' conference rivals Utah and
BYU in the four-day event is
'ancillary to hitting the times,
marks and distances that will
enable the once-young but now
seasoned team to move on to the
NCAA Championships in Baton
Rouge, La.
It is the last opportunity for"
the Aztecs to qualify and they
are well aware of it.
SDSU's trio of top pole
vaulters - Shayla Balentine,
Jesika Englebretson and Tricia
Guttierezhave already provisionally qualified for the
NCAA's but are looking to
cement a bid.
, "The foclts is on all of us qualifying for nationals and getting
the marks that we need to get to
there,",Guttierez said.
,
She thinks it will take ti jump
between 13 feet and 13' 3", to
solidify a trip to Baton Rouge.
Sprinter Tonette Dyer will,
make a Jast dash at qualifying in
the 100, 200 and 400-rneters. The
native Louisianan is continuing"
. to employ the same strategy that
has seen her earn top finishes
throughout the last month.
"1 don't want to get caught up
with time," Dyer said. "1 want to_
get caught up in competition."
Dyer has already provisionally qualified' in the 200-meters
with time of 23.41 set April 6 and
in the 400-meters at 52.48 on
April 21.
She will also contribute a lap
to b.oth the 4xlOO relay and the
4x400.
.
A.ccording to Dyer, other factors such as baton transfers are
going t9 be key if the Aztecs are
to notch a NCAA berth.
"Things have-been going very
well this week (in practice),"
Dyer said. "We've been doing
some good things. We went to
L.A., last week and ran a 45 (in
the 4x100) with horrible hand-

SDSU's Swiss army knife,

before -tIle rest of the team to
compete in the heptathlon.
Head Coach_Rahn Sheffield has
supreme confidence in her.
"1 have no worries," he said.
"When she steps on the line,_
she's going to make things happen."
The Aztecs are liot bringing
their distance runners to the
MWCs due to the fact that they
cannot sufficiently train for the
altitude. Hence, SDSU will be
sacrificing points in those
events, which means that a conference championship will be an
uphill fight. However, Sheffield
has more on his mind than
points and times.
"I can't spend any time thinking about the points or what's
going to happen," he said. "I
don't run around like a lot of the
other coaches, tallying up points
with a pen and pencil and jotting
down numbers, and 'running
from event to event. That's not
me.
"The bottom line is if all the
athletes compete like they've
been trained to, we'll fare pretty
well."

Senior's leadership
embodied in semifinal
win over Wyoming
By
JARED QUIENT
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
If the San Diego State men's
basketball program eventually
becomes a nationally recognized
program and eventually lives up
to the potential this city and
schoor has to offer, it will have
one person to thank.
That person is Randy Holcomb.
In just two seasons at SDSU,
Holcomb made an indelible
mark on the history of Aztecs
sports. After everyone and their
mother told him not to come
here, that he couldn't win here,
he defied them all.
Not only did he come here he won here, too:
That is why Holcomb is The
Daily Aztec's Athlete of the
Semester for Spring 2002.
We could have chosen him
because of the 17.4 points and
9.5 r~bounds per game he put
up, both leading the conference.
But it was one play that set Holcomb's year apart. ..
Down one point with just
under 25 seconds to go in' the
semifinals of the Mountain West
Championships, the senior had
a decision to make when a
defensive switch forced Al Fall),
. to dish th~ ball to Holcomb. VVith
the ball in the climer and thE
shot clock running down, ('VeT\,oile in the buildi'ng thought he
was going to shoot.
Except for Randy. He rump
faked, dro\'e the lane and dished
the ball back to a wide-open
Faux, who nailed the game winner, sending the Aztecs to the
championship game, and ultimately, the ~CAA ChampionshipsWhether or not Holcomb
makes it in the NBA, he ha::.
made his mark on San Diego
State.
His presence this season
a}lowed for everyone around
him to get better. He learm·d
how to play smart basketball
this season and it paid off.
For everyone-
Freshman Bre DeSanta won 20 games this season in taking over
. for the team's departed ace, Sandra Durazo. Aaroll 1'1<,11\ / Daily AZII"
six saves, 1.0n ERA,.205 opponent batting average an<;l 42
strikeouts against 5-+ walks in
194.2 lP.
Her wins, savcs, ERA, opponent SA, strikeout and games
finished (20) totals were good
enough to lead the.MWC. She
also fielded perfe<:tly, making
no errors in 41 chances. On top
of all that she was named MWC
Pitcher of the Week a record six
times.
For aJl her accomplishments,
DeSailta was named not only
Freshman of the Year, but Pitcher of the Year in the MWC as
' well.
DeSanta didn't eXRect to win
the Conference Pitcher of the
Year Award in just her freshman
year.
"I was surprised to be named
both," she ·said. "I'm real'"
proud of my acc()nlplishment~,
but I couldn't have done it without my team. They're most of
the reason for my success."
To see why she won the conference awards isn't very difficult based on the numbers,
though. To go with her 9-0
record in fifteen appearances,
she had a remarkable 0.83 ERA
(a MWC record low), three
saves, .201 opponent BA, 46
strikeouts and 84.1 IP, all tops in
the conference.
. The future seems bright for
DeSanta. With such gaudy
numbers in just her first year.
she seems de~tined to be atop
. the SDSU record books three
years from. now anything but
typical.

Raise the glass
'm not what most people would consider a
religious man (ordained reverendship
Iaside),
but fstake great faith in the concept of
.
providence.
As the dictionary defines it, providence is
divine guidance or care, or God conceived as
the power sustaining and guiding human
destiny. I latched onto the word back in high
school after a particularly vigorous Mark
Twain kick (he also apparently liked the word
and the concept, as it peppers many of his
famous quips and is the title of one of his
plays), and justified my belief in it because,
well, sometimes in my life incredible things
happen.
.
I won't go in to many of these experiences
here, as they're so plentiful as to constitute
fodder for a whole year's worth of columns.
But this is a farewell column of sorts, written
as I step down from my position as an editor,
and it is my chance to reflect on my experiences here at the Tempo desk of The Daily
Aztec.
So I've been looking back on my more than
two-year association with this newspaper
and trying to think of a way to summarize, in
just a few hundred words, an expansive
wealth of experiences, emotions and memories:
I've analyzed dozens of approaches ftom
hundreds of angleS, contemplated different
themes and techniques, but I keep arriving
back at that one word.
Providence has blessed me with many
things in life, but the thing I most value is the
relationships it has enabled me to cultivatefriends, acquaintances and co-conspirators
I've happened to meet along the way that
have enriched my life and shaped it into
something worthwhile. This isn't as simple as
it sounds for someone like me - a self-proclaimed rugged (some might say determined) individualist, an admittedly flawed
human being, someone who sometimes has
problems cQnnecting with other people in the
so-called straight world.
In a word, the type of dipsh** who, on occa. sion, through vitriolic diatribes or deliberate
actions, alienates himself from other people.
But providence has dictated that, in my
time here at The Aztec, I could find other people like myself - in a city of millions, on a
c,ampus filled with tens of thousands. Here, I
stumbled upon a diverse, dynamic, enigmatic group of other rugged and determined
individualists brought together through a
shared love of the arts and, from that base,
held together by other bonqs - mutual
respect, admiration and (admittedly, to some
extent), some healthy competition - bonds
further strengthened by liquor, philosophical
conversation and shared experiences.
Basically, the Tempo section is a magnet for
freaks.
But they're fantastic, beautiful, lovely
freaks; geniuses, misfits, talented and
dynamic wingnuts'1 am proud to call coworkers and friends.
I've gotten other tangible rewards from
this job, too - beyond, of course, the free
CDs, concert tickets and other perks of being
an entertainment journalist. It has enabled
me to ride in an elevator with Cameron
Crowe, one of my idols, to interview other
people I respect and to trod the streets of New
York City and Austin, Texas, beneath my
Conversed feet (Hubert, at least, should
appreciate the Conan reference).
But more important than the places themselves is who was with me. New York, incredible as it was, wouldn't have been nearly as
fantastic had I not strolled through the Lower
East Side of Manhattan with former Tempo
editor Irene Yadao, and Austin wouldn't
have rocked half as hard without Steve Chupaska.
But I don't want to single anyone out. I
could write reams about each and every one
of these people. Everyone here at Tempo has
left an indelible impact on my life, my personal tastes and my being, and for that I arn
thankful. ,

Two SDSU students bring
local 'bands together for
compilation, sho~case
By
KENNETH SMITH
TEMPO EDITOR
, A pair of San Diego S~te University
students are doing their bit to support
local music.
Heather Vantressand Bodie Rork,
SDSU juniors majoring in Japanese and
business, respectively, have worked with
10 Southern California bands to compil!=!
the SoCaISampler CD. The eclectic mix
features a variety of music styles, ranging from Christian hard rock (Pound
Foolish) to emo(Reeve Oliver) to mellow
acoustic (Wendy Bailey).
.
"The Southern California music scene
is so diverse and we wanted a CD that
reflected that," Van tress said. "We hoped
to bring these bands together, possibly
getting them to play on the same bill
togetheronit least know each other and
support each other's shows.
"More than anything, we wanted to
make SoCal5ampier a name for itself in
that people will look out for it each year
as what bands to look out for and to go
,see.
" All the bimds o~ the compilation are
good artists as well as all-around good
people, so working with them has been
great and definitely a learning experience."
The idea for the sampler came to
Van tress while working at Surf Dog
Records. Since the beginning, the two
have made the project a collaborative
effort.
'
"Each band had to have original material, put in equal money and they all got
an equal number of the CDs to sell or
give away on their own terms, no royalties attached," Vantress said. "~e bands

"As for the rest of the production cost,

We'll sell our p()rtion of the CDs on the
Web site for $5 and are selling at local
record stores all over San Diego, Orange

'If you want to look cool, however,
that might take a little more effort. First
of alC wear a lot of denim. Second of all,
wear glasses, even if you don't need
them. It's essential for looking cool.
When you go somewhere semi-formal,
look casual, because then you're just
too cool for fashion restrictions. If nothing else, you'll seem very apathetic and
nonchalant, and we all know that's
cool.
Finally, you need to be involved in
cool charities. Become a member of
PETA. Get naked, vandalize fur coats
and fight a battle that will never be
won. Why? Because it's cool. While
you're at i~, try.
Free .TIbet. It's unlikely that China
will give a sh...., but it doesn't matter.
You can hang out with the Beastie Boys!
,I don't know, maybe I'm too'cynical,
but the point is there shouldn't be a
blueprint for being cool. 1 think I've figured,outwhatcool is, but Idon'tputtoo
much stock in it. I like what I like, and
that works for me. I don't care too much
for what's cool, except for saving rock
'n' roll. I can't wait until it's my tum. '
Isn't that the dude from Mask?:Old lady Cher
will launch her farewell tour on June 14, with a
50-city run that wraps in September (out of
respect for the victims of Sept. 11). Tour dates for
Living Proof - The Farewell Tour have yet to
be announced, but fans can count on Cher
appearing ~ Los Angeles" San Diego and at
numerous plastic surgeons' along the way.
It's a gimmick: On his new album, singer-songwriter Eminem admits that he might not sell as
many records if he was an African American.
The line in question goes like this: "1 might not
sell as many, records if I was an African American/ But my bitch ho mom is a crank whore,
Detroit what!?"

Boycotting Mother's Day: "1 don't really believe
in this Hallmark holiday, so I don't think you
should get me anything." Consider it done~
Boycotting dirty movies: "I saw a very stupid
movie: Y Tu Mama Tambien. None of the papers,
are saying how bad it is, what it's realJy about. It
was very pornographic. Not only thal, but it's a
stupid movie."
,
Selling Antiques: "Come and buy them!" (She
has a shop). "I've been selling a lot, but it's just
totally random. You just don,'t have a clue who's
going to come in and buy anything. I just sold
Ashley from O-Town a beautiful boudoir."
Her son's future: But mom, I don't .have a job.

A
got off forgot his bag. He gets off
and gives the Arab man the bag.
The Arab man is very grateful and
he whispers' to the businessman,
"You have been very kind. to me
and I will try to repay the favor:
Stay away from San Diego and tell
your family to do the same."
The businessman' replied,
"Why, because there's going to be
a terrorist attack there?"
"No," the Arab said, ''because
it's a sh** hole."

I was on my way back to SDSU
last Monday when I heard a dude
explaining to someone on the
Greyhound why he decided to
move. He and his baby's mama
were from New York. The dude
decided to move to San Diego
because he didn't want his kids,
growing up in such a ~ectic place.
The person he was talking to asked
him if he was moving to Los Angeles. He replied, shocked, and said
that he wouldn't move to a place
that was worse than New York.
I had to smile because, as a
native Angelino (East Angelino, to
be exact), Hook it as a compliment
that a New Yorker thought we're
so hardcore.
It's not the first time that I heard
people 'complaining about L.A.
Another time on the Greyhot.lJ1d, I
heard some annoying fat chicks
complaining about how there~s
nothing to do.in L.A. and how they
,c.ouldn't wait to get back to S.D.
That's the mentality that a lot of
people have. They visit L.A. and
, realizeili.",t they're tiny, tiny fish in
a big ocean. Not just in L.A., but in
, life in general. Los Angeles is a
very circular place geographically
'and very easy to get lost in, both literallyand mentally. A trip down
one street will have you going
from slum to affluence and back.
, San Diego is very linear and you
have to transverse the same space
, over and over again, which gives
people a sense that they've mastered their surroundings, and
that's very boring. ,
I was used to San Diego the
same week I got here. I didn't feel
that tt wasn't my city, that I 'Yas a
visitor. I had seen most of what
there was to see and felt like it was
a second home. That's very, very
boring.
I ha'(le lived in Los Angeles for
17 years and still haven't seen
everything there is to see. Not to
sound like a stupid nostalgic, but
it's that sense of wonder that
makes L.A. magical. I'm in no way
trying to jive San Diego, even
though I have in the past, but it
boggles my mind how people can
prefer San Diego to L.A.
Every year hordes and hordes of
people from Northern California
infest the 'big city' of San Diego;
then they make fun of NorCal. I
can understand how they would
like it. After all, all the cites in NorCal are smaller than this college.
Onless you're 21, blonde, or like
to get hammered, San Diego is
about as complex as a sorority girl.
I can't say I won't miss San Diego
... no, wait. I can say I won't miss
S.D. What I will miss are all the
cool people that unfortunately
reside here. If. you guys ever
decide to move to Los Angeles, I'll
be waiting in the pouring sun. For
everyone else... it's been grand,
but adios.

M
y second semester at State
after transferring in as a
junior, I was really having doubts
about journalism as a major. I
didn't know what I wanted to do.
I didn't want to be a hard news
reporter. I'm just not the ambitious, go-get-the-story type.
Sitting outpide of a classroom,
waiting for Comm 300 to start; I
started talking to this girl about
my weird schedule. I had all of
tl~ese long breaks between classes and nothing to do. She suggested I get a job on campus:
Doing what? I asked. She said I
should write for the school paper.
She knew one of the editors. She
said he was in our class, and that
she'd introduce me.
Next thing you know, I'm writing for the Tempo section of Tire
Daily Aztcc. I guess I had decided'
a long time ago that no matter
how much I loved singing and
making music, I just didn't have
the balls to pursue that dream.
But I could write about music. It
wasn't easy, but it was fulfilling"a
creative outlet. I had found a way
to take the one thing that my
world revolved around and
immerse myself in it. I was learning this skill. Something I was
using and could use in the future.
It felt like a real job. Something I
could make a career out of.
And for the first time since
high school, I had friends at
school. Not just fake smile,
hi/bye acquaintances, but real
friends. I connected with other
Tempo writers. We had some
things in common: a love for
music and the arts and an appre-
mugshot has been replaced, It's
not just an effort to portray a
kinder, gentler Ken Smith. The
picture was taken several
months ago, and the first tiine I
saw it, I hated it. But the photographer, Greg Lithgoe, loved It,
claimed it was his favorite of a
series of mugshots that hang (for

world, where a TRL-ready infatuation with 'N
Sync could get me red-flagged as a potential se~­
offender. Where knowing what J.C stands for IS
gayer than Aaron Carter. Where spending a first,
date copying your dance moves from the 1999
VMA's is as sexy as, say, herpes.
Let's face it: You're not as cool as I'd thought
you were. I'd convinced myself that it wasn't just
manufactured pop, that it was fresh and fun and
alive. I swore that, yes, boys could sing songs
with homoerotic undertones to eighth graqe
girls without being New Kids on the Block, and
, ~hat a 21-year-old could download, listen ~o and
memorize the words of those songs WIthout
removing his testicles.
I actually wanted to go to your show. I'thought
you were punk, orat least the new punk. You
fought with your label, you hated the Backstreet
Boys, you and your group were the best dancers.
You simply up and shaved your head, those
curly locks worshiped by so many teenyboppers, cause you "just wanted to." No focus
groups, no Internet surveys, no trial balloons.
How punk is that?
I downloaded Celcbrity.
I wrote about you nearly every week,. teasing
you sure, but in the way that only chIldhood
frie~ds can. I knew the details of your breakup
_ "Gasp! Tragic!" - before you did, courtesy of
Britney the whore and her big whorish mouth. I
saw Lance's movie.
I put "Pop" on a mix CD, in between the Beaties and Fugazi. It's true. I revered you.
You taught me so much, so many lessons I'll
never forget. I know now that even beautiful
people get dumped, an~ that b~ying a woman
an Audi won't make her stay WIth me forever. I
learned that fame and money can get you a beautiful girlfriend, but that dating the best:looking
girl in the world isn't always the best thmg for a
person. I've learned all your last nameS.
