A.S. president looks
to move forward after
his October arrest
W E N DY F R Y
CIT Y EDITOR
Associated Students President
James Poet is still waiting for his
court date on Mar. 19 for allegedly
driving under the influence.
Poet was arrested on Oct. 17 by
San Diego State police officers on
suspicion of marijuana possession
and allegedly driving under the
influence. He was not charged with
possession of marijuana, Poet said.
“I was very pleased by that, and
I think it was the right thing to happen,” Poet said about the marijuana
possession charges being dropped.
Poet said his blood alcohol content on the night of the arrest came
back as a .09, which is .01 over the
legal limit.
“What happened was, I had a
few beers with my friends and then
I fell asleep,” Poet said. “After a couple hours sleep, I woke up. I got
worried about my girlfriend
because I couldn’t get a hold of her
and that is highly unusual for me to
not be able to reach her. I thought I
had sobered up from sleeping, so I
wanted to drive over to my girlfriend’s to check on her. It was a
stupid thing to do.”
Poet was pulled over on 55th
Street because of a broken taillight
and for using his cell phone while
driving, according to SDSU Police
Lt. Lamine Secka.

James Poet has continued serving as Associated Students president since his arrest for allegedly driving under the influence in October.
“If I had just gotten my taillight
fixed, I probably never would have
had a problem,” Poet said.
The standard penalty for a firsttime offense of driving under the
influence is a court determined
fine, attending substance abuse
classes and community service.
“I feel this ... this really could
happen to anybody. It’s extremely
important for people to think
about their actions,” Poet said.
Poet said he hates the possibility
that the student body judges him
based on one bad decision.
“I think I can definitely understand where people are coming
from, but it’s difficult for everyone
to know the facts,” Poet said. “The
negative things that were said
about me were negative character
comments from people who don’t
even know me or know my true
character or even know who I really am as a person.”

Locking down motorcycle theft
K E V I N M C C O R M AC K
A S S I S TA N T C I T Y E D I T O R
Expensive gas prices coupled with
packed parking structures have motivated many San Diego State students
to trade in their four wheels for two.
However, a recent theft has led to
some motorcyslists voicing their
concern.
On Thursday, Jan. 29 around 11
a.m., Andrew Fountain, a business
junior, parked his orange 2005
Honda CBR 1000RR motorcycle in
the F lot on campus, something he’s
done routinely since he first began
riding to campus in August.
However, after finishing classes
around 4 p.m., Fountain returned to
discover that his motorcycle had
been stolen.
Luis Hurtado, a business senior
and fellow student motorcyclist, saw
Fountain filing a report with police
after the theft and offered to help.
Hurtado said he arrived on campus
around 1:45 p.m. that day and didn’t
see any motorcycles that fit the
description. With Hurtado’s reference, Fountain was able to determine
that his motorcycle was likely stolen
in the brief time frame between 11
a.m. and 1:45 p.m.
Fountain said he locked his bike
with a disc lock, which prevents
the motorcycle from being
wheeled off. However, because the
motorcycle was not attached to
another object, it can be loaded onto
a truck and taken away with the help
of only a few individuals.
Hurtado notified The Daily Aztec
of the theft in hopes of finding the
thieves and spreading awareness.
“Somebody had to see something,
especially because it was a bright
orange motorcycle,” Hurtado said. “It
was the first week of school in the
middle of the day and everyone had
classes. There were even officers
directing traffic.”
Both Fountain and Hurtado said
they began riding motorcycles to
campus because of the improved gas
mileage and also more parking availability. Since the incident, Hurtado
has purchased a chain lock for his
motorcycle and is encouraging other
riders to do the same.
“I just want to get the word out
there to let other motorcyclists know
to lock their bikes.”
While SDSU Police Department
crime statistics show no real spike in
motor vehicle thefts on campus,
Hurtado said some fellow motorcyclists avoid parking in high traffic
areas, fearing an outcome similar to
Fountain’s.
Despite the theft, Fountain said
he would not be deterred from riding
in the future, as he plans to replace
the bike as soon as possible with
money from his insurance company.
“I’ll be back riding to campus,
just with a few more locks this
time,” he said.
All riders are encouraged to lock
their bikes, motorcycle or otherwise,
to the provided racks, and students

should report any suspicious behavior to the SDSU Police Department at
(619) 594-1991.
Though the SDSU Police
Department was repeatedly contacted for information about the incident, they could not return any of
several phone calls and e-mails.

POET :
A.S. President admits mistake, determined to
continue working following DUI arrest in October.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
He said he continues to work daily for
the student body.
“For some people this is the first thing
they’ve ever heard about me, but it’s not
necessarily who I am as a person. It’s just
one thing that happened,” he added.
Poet said that many people have shown
their support for his leadership skills
despite the negative publicity.
“I’ve been really fortunate to have support from all the A.S. Council, friends,
administration and faculty around campus,”
he said. “That support has definitely enabled
me to keep doing my job effectively.”
According to A.S. Executive Director
Dan Cornthwaite, Poet has overseen six
major initiatives during his tenure as student body president. These include the new
legal services and free advising for students,
the study abroad scholarships program, the
Green Love program, the Aztec Culture
project, the establishment of LGB&T
major and the creation of the first- ever
Green Fest.
“He deserves credit and recognition for
these programs because he’s provided the
leadership that helped conceive of the projects,” Cornthwaite said. “In his second
term, he has also demonstrated the follow
through to ensure these initiatives were
implemented.
“Part of the student experience and part
of the experience of young people is that
they are put into situations where they
make choices that have consequences …
He’s shown every indication of learning
from the experience. The consequences are
having the intended effect of insuring that
it won’t be repeated.”
Poet insisted that the events have not
deterred his desire to continue working for
the student body.
“I still come in and do my job and work
for the students every day,” Poet said.
The A.S. president said he is looking forward to the upcoming court date because
he is ready for the issue to be resolved.
Poet is expected to graduate in May.
Cornthwaite said Poet will remain student body president until his term is over.
Illegal immigrants are
top priority of teach-in
R E B E C CA M C LE O D
CONTRIBUTOR
For many students, high school graduation is a day of mixed emotions, but for
students that are children of illegal immigrants, the hardships faced in access to
higher education are only the beginning.
Tomorrow, Feb. 12, a presentation will be
held on campus to raise awareness of the
challenges faced by illegal immigrants.
“We do not necessarily
have answers to fixing
this very large structural problem, but we
would like to offer it
up for discussion.”
—Arthur Reed,
event organizer
The teach-in will discuss the struggles
faced by illegal immigrants and their
access to higher education. The event will
include presentations by San Diego State
students and the UCLA Labor Center,
which
will
discuss
its
book
“Undocumented Undergrads: UCLA
Undocumented Immigrant Students
Speak Out” and the issues surrounding
Assembly Bill 540.
In addition to bringing attention to illegal immigrants who attend SDSU, the
event also seeks to raise awareness about
AB 540, as well as the DREAM Act.
According to the DREAM act Web site, the
bill would create a potential path to citizenship for children of illegal immigrants
who complete two years of higher education or military service and have no criminal record.
The organizers of the teach-in are hoping
the event will accomplish many goals, with
the main emphasis on raising awareness.
“The overarching goal of the teach-in is
to raise awareness about AB 540 and
(undocumented) students here at SDSU
and other California institutions of higher
learning,” Arthur Reed, one of the event
organizers, said.
Event planners hope that the assembly
will provide an avenue for further action
among the campus community as well.
“Another goal of the event is to build off
the energy at the event and create a student organization here at SDSU around
the issue of undocumented students at the
university,” Reed said. “There are 22
California universities that have developed
student organizations around this issue,
and we hope that SDSU will be the 23rd.”
A growing amount of attention has
been paid to this issue following the success of the book and the pending DREAM
Act. Students who would like to show
their support can attend tomorrow’s event
to learn more about the issue and hear
firsthand accounts from illegal immigrant
students.
“We do not necessarily have answers to
fixing this very large structural problem,
but we would like to offer it up for discussion in the campus community,” Reed said.
The teach-in will be at 4 p.m. tomorrow, Feb. 12, in Montezuma Hall.

Not your ordinary
campus commute
One SDSU professor beats
traffic and saves money on
gas with new set of wheels
J A N E L B R UA N
CONTRIBUTOR
How long does it take to ride a Segway from La
Mesa to San Diego State?
Professor Jesse Dixon usually spends 50
minutes every day riding his Segway scooter to
school.
Commuting all the way from his home in
La Mesa, Dixon, who teaches recreation and
tourism management, avoids the normal traffic
and keeps the Segway in his office.
The Segway Personal Transporter (PT) is the
first “self-balancing human transporter”; riders
are seen on what has been compared to a chariot. The Segway is also environmentally friendly, running on electricity for zero emissions.
“It’s a people transporter,” Dixon said
about the Segway. “People have described riding it is like being on a conveyor belt.”
What swayed him to buy one?
“The previous president told me that I was
addicted to oil,” Dixon said. “My whole reason
was to get rid of a car. The Segway costs onefourth of what a car costs and burns one-third
of the gas.”
One appealing perk for Dixon was getting
out of the infamous school traffic. He saves
about 15 minutes each day riding his Segway
straight to his office. This is time that would
have been spent walking from the faculty parking lot.
“It is legislated as a pedestrian device,”
Dixon said. “This means it can be used on the
sidewalk or the bicycle lane. It’s a clever alternative energy source and it plays on using
existing infrastructure. The guy that came up
with the idea was a genius.”
Segways have started to become common
at several tourist attractions. One of these locations is the Wild Animal Park’s new attraction
“Rolling Safari”, which enables guests to take a
two-hour tour of the park on off-road Segways.
“It’s a great tourism strategy,” Dixon said. “You
can show people around without making
them tired so they can eat.”
Those who ride Segways normally undergo a lot of harsh criticism such as being
labeled as “lazy.”
The criticism doesn’t bother me,” Dixon
said. “We are always going to be under criticism but it must be working for me, I haven’t
had anybody be mean. They usually just give
a joke. There have been people who flag me
down and ask me what I am riding or the
person in the car next to me will give a
thumbs up.”
“The most disappointed question I get is
‘How fast can it go?’,” Dixon said. “The fastest
the Segway can go is 10 mph, which is if you
stay on a flat surface. It’s computerized so it
readjusts itself for the surface. This means you
would have to slow down when you are going
over a speed bump.”
“It’s a clever alternative
energy source and it
plays on using existing
infrastructure. The guy
that came up with the
idea was a genius.”
—Jesse Dixon,
recreation and tourism management
professor
The speed remains constant for riders even
as they go uphill. First-time riders who anticipate speeding downhill find themselves at the
same speed just as they were going up. When
the rider is going uphill they will need to lean
forward, and as they ride downhill they will
need to lean back. This is where certain
Segway injuries occur.
“There are people who lean forward while
they’re going down,” stated Dixon. “The computer is thinking to readjust and maintain
speed. That’s when people fall off. The Segway
also has detectors that allow the vehicle to
move when both of the rider’s feet are in. This
means you can’t jump with it or do tricks.”
The one thing Dixon recommends is that if
one thinks riding a Segway may be for them,
they should have a lot of patience, seeing as it
does not go very fast.

Abandon costly
Modern Space
L
ast week, the news of
the delay of the
Modern Space project,
a major renovation of
Aztec Center, was mass
e-mailed to San Diego State students. The primary reason cited for
postponing the project for a year
was the increased cost, from the
original estimated total cost of $44
million in 2006 to the most recent
estimated total cost of $72 million.
Some of the reasons for the
additional costs are out of
Associated Students’ control:
Interest rates for funds are skyrocketing, and concurrently, student
enrollment is falling as well. But
larger economic tides don’t portray
the whole picture.
Modern Space’s delay serves
only to highlight the project’s deficiencies. It should either be
scrapped entirely or started again
from the beginning.
Modern Space was poorly
planned from its conception; one
of those plans that’s full of great
ideas — A fitness center! A theater!
A day spa! — but skips trying to
work out the practical details. And
ever since the project passed, those
little practical details have been
haunting it.
For one thing, the Modern
Space plans didn’t include plans
for the relocation of the businesses
located in Aztec Center, or even the
student organizations and offices
there. The deadline was looming —
some businesses in Aztec Center
were set to shut down at the end of
this semester and construction was
slated to begin in the fall — and the
planners still hadn’t figured out
where everything was going to go.
The Cross Cultural Center, the ticket office, even Associated Students’
own offices were waiting in limbo
for a solution to manifest.
This lack of relocation plans was
particularly problematic because
Modern Space didn’t include any
course of action for how to provide
the food services on campus in the
interim. Aztec Center is a main
hub, not just of student activity, but
also one of the campus’ main
sources of student dining. With
Aztec Center out of commission
during the construction phase, students would be forced to redirect to
other areas on campus, which are
not ready to handle an influx of
that magnitude. There was still no
solution to this problem.
But that’s not the worst of the
project’s deficiencies. Apparently,
Modern Space’s original conception didn’t include plans for seismic reinforcement or compliance
with the Americans with
Disabilities Act, because those were
two reasons listed for the increase
in the project’s cost. Such compliances should have been included in
the construction plans and estimated project costs from the beginning. The fact that they weren’t is a
testament to how thoughtless and
rushed Modern Space’s plans were.
And this is all before construction has even begun.
Some A.S. members have gone
on record saying they are grateful
for the extra year, because it will
allow for more planning, “more indepth detail.” But this level of planning should have been present at
the project’s conception, before it
was even put to a vote.
That is another major problem.
Students voted for Modern Space
back in 2006, and the project itself
was based on feedback from students about what additional services they would like to see on campus. That survey implied that the
on-campus pub would remain, and
that pub would be Louie’s Suds &
Sun. The controversy over the likely removal of Louie’s illustrates
how deceptive the proposal was.
Modern Space would not have
been approved if students had
known the fate of the pub, nor
would it have been approved if the
students knew that lack of compliance considerations would lead to
additional costs. In short, Modern
Space as it stands right now is not
what the students voted for.
All this proves that Modern
Space is more costly than it is
worth — in more than just dollars.
The foundation of the plans was
weak from the beginning. At this
point, it’s time for A.S. to cut its
losses.
Renovation of Aztec Center is
certainly needed, but Modern
Space is not the solution the students want or need. The project
should be abandoned. If A.S. representatives want to tidy the center
up that badly, they should use the
lessons learned from Modern
Space to conceive a newer, more
complete plan.
Sometimes it’s easier to start all
over again with a clean slate than
to try and fix something so horribly broken.

A GUEST’S PERSPECTIVE
Obama shouldn’t have
a say on executive pay
G
et out your umbrellas folks,
because we’re in for a heavy
downpour. Under President
Barack Obama’s revised financial compensation plan, it’s
going to be raining Wall Street executives.
Pledging to “take the air out of golden
parachutes,” last Wednesday, Obama
announced plans to cap the pay of top executives at firms that accept federal bailout
money. Proposed pay caps are at $500,000 a
year, a fraction of the average $14.2 million
paychecks these executives received in 2007,
according to the AFL-CIO.
The proposal comes amidst a growing
public concern that troubled companies,
relying on the public’s money for survival,
are spending lavishly on huge executive
bonuses, private corporate jets and excessive
Las Vegas retreats for their top management.
At first glance, this proposed salary cap
would only make sense. These financial big
wigs are clearly biting the hand that feeds
them. They are abusing our tax money and
unduly enriching themselves and their
cronies with huge salaries. But take a closer
look, and you will see that this is a truly
dangerous move. If Obama puts a cap on
executives’ salaries, where does the intervention end? Are other sectors next?
Trust me, I’m just as disgusted by Wall
Street greed as you are, but setting limits on
compensation is a misstep on a very slippery slope.
Pay regulation is a precedent President
Obama should steer clear of, as it allows for
too much policing power by the government. Implementing arbitrary caps that have
no pertinence to the executive labor market
is simply unacceptable and such impositions
will have a serious detrimental effect on
Wall Street and ultimately, the stability of
the global economy.
It’s hard not to notice the mass exodus of
both big and small business from California
to Mexico and other less regulated states in
response to California’s ever-increasing regulations. A regulation on top executives’ pay
will result in a similar departure from the
United States. These financial executives will
leave to look for greener pastures, pun
intended.
We can’t afford to have the best minds
and the greatest talents on Wall Street just
up and walk away while we are facing one of
H O L LY F OX E N W E L L S
GUEST COLUMNIST
the biggest financial crises in U.S. history.
We need the experience and expertise of
these executives to aid in bringing our financial institutions back to a stable position.
One could easily argue that because the
taxpayers are footing the bill, we should
have a say on compensation limits. However,
this simpleminded approach doesn’t solve
the problem of the mass executive emigration. We have to remember that we are still
operating in a free market. Capital enterprise
dictates that such regulations will set these
companies up to fail by forcing the top talent out the door to other firms where no
such regulations exist.
Top executives expect to be paid at a premium. Yes, a salary of $14.2 million is excessive and borderline unethical, but this salary
has been set by the free market principle
and President Obama has no business trying
to change this tenet. Economics, not politics,
should determine pay.
Since the very first settlers arrived in
Jamestown in 1607, our country has operated on this principle. Captain John Smith’s
famous rule, “He who does not work shall
not eat” reverberates throughout our system
of free enterprise in which personal risk-taking and hard work result in large benefits
and consequently, some grub.
Instead of trying to please the average
American with short-term make-you-feelgood solutions, President Obama should try
to address the real issue at hand. Wall Street
caps will do nothing to solve our economic
problems. Instead, they are more likely to
lead us into a deeper, darker recession.
If these compensation plans actually play
out, the economic forecast is sure to be dismal.
You’d better make sure that umbrella is a
sturdy one.

PATTY’S TAKES
London’s West End Pub
is not just for locals
PAT R I C I A B . DW Y E R
S TA F F W R I T E R
Patricia Dwyer / Staff Photographer
Pool tables, drinks and a colorful atmosphere make up the inside of The West End.
Where Pacific Beach slowly starts
to taper off into a more upscale La
Jolla, on the north end of La Jolla
Blvd, sits London’s West End Pub.
Stuffed into a nook of heavily bluetinted front windows and neon
beer signs, The West End, as
referred to by locals, is a dirty gem
in comparison to the typical
Pacific Beach scene.
The inside has worn carpet,
nostalgia-ridden walls, one billiard
table, a mirror with marble finish
on the wall behind the bar and a
bomb hanging from the ceiling by
chain link. The wake of many
long nights, good stories and La
Jolla surf history lingers in a perpetual mist.
The West End is situated across
the street from Tourmaline, one of
the better longboard surfing
breaks in Pacific Beach. This location is completely correlated to
the bar’s connection to The Mac
Meda Destruction Company. Mac
Meda is a 1960s La Jolla-based
surfer crew that has become comparable with folklore during the
group’s peak —but myth becomes
reality at The West End.
The pub has been the main
post-surf session stomping ground
for the Mac Meda tribe for years.
Recent Mac Meda shout-outs in
the Los Angeles Times, La Jolla Light
and Longboard Magazine all attest
to the gang’s glory. It is this history that provides the bar with most
of its acclaim and with a weathered, wooden Mac Meda sign still
hanging out front, it’s no secret.
When asked about the sign,
owner Tom McMillin claims it has
been up there “since the beginning,” which was in 1979. Ever
since the bar opened, it has been
home to all of the local longboard
surfers. Discussions about the
most recent swell activity and
great surfing tales from “way back
when,” have always hovered
around bar side.
“It’s a great little dive bar,”
McMillin said. “With stiff, cheap
drinks. We’re very inexpensive,
like crazy cheap.”
One of the bar’s most noted
features, other than three-dollar
Jagermeister Thursdays and Fenet
Fridays, is that fact that it is open
at 6 a.m. The early timing is out of
reverence for Jack MacPherson,
one of the chief hooligans of Mac
Meda who worked at the West
End for about 20 years.
“He brought a good crowd in,”
McMillin said. “It was worthwhile.
The crowd has sort of died off
now, but it keeps business
rolling.”
McMillin said that those four
hours, which separate the West
End from every other bar, can
bring in college students that have
been partying all night, graveyard
shifters, constructions workers,
“and then you get the shaky ones.”
In a bar that seems like it was
created for beach creatures to
slither up to and murmur about
peeling waves, the West End
packs in a very diverse crowd.
Everyone is accepted with open
arms in this cordial pub.
The house is packed every
weekend at night and even some
early mornings with the ones that
couldn’t get enough. Although
London’s West End Pub is a
strong supporter of classic La Jolla
longboard culture, it also encourages anyone who wants to drink
even more.
And if old-school surfing isn’t
popular enough to get a San Diego
resident up in a flurry and spring
over to the West End, maybe having drink specials with a San
Diego State Student ID will help.
Go Aztecs!
The four corners
R AC H E L C A L K I N S
S TA F F W R I T E R
A bite of Indian food is like an
explosion of warmth and flavor
across the palate. It can bring
forth strong sensual delights and
may promote uncontrollable urges
to lie on silk pillows, listen to sitarinfused music while watching
wispy clouds of smoke billow
through the dimly and sumptuously lit room.
How can one bite of international food ignite so many senses?
It is simply just that good.
What many people do not realize is that India is a country roughly one-third the size of Europe;
therefore, because of its size, food
in India varies based on geographical and religious influences.
There are four basic regions, in
which you can break down the different kinds of dishes.
To make it simple, we will stick
with the four directions of the
compass, and view how local
geography contributes to the agricultural differences leading to
each area’s most prized dishes.
Northern India
Northern India is geographically
known for extreme climates and
central Asian influences. The sweltering summers and rigid winters
give way to fertile lands that produce a bounty of fresh vegetables
and fruits for Indian dishes. They
also commonly throw in dried
fruit and nuts such as dates or
cashews to add interesting texture
and flavor to dishes.
Northerners typically prefer
regional breads such as roti and
naan in lieu of rice. This area masters at blending together savory
spices and milk products that
magically come together to create
a variety of curries, which differ
depending on region, family or
spices available.
Popular dishes from the north
include the delectable mutter
paneer, which is a curry of peas
and cheese served with one of
the--- aforementioned breads. Also
typical of this region is the ultrafamous chicken tikka, skewers of
chicken baked in a clay oven after
they are carefully seasoned with
hot spices and yogurt and commonly served with onions.
Before we move south, the delicious samosa must be mentioned.
These scrumptious little snacks
come with a variety of fillings that
will please meat eaters and vegetarians alike and are encased in a
delightful, flaky pastry. These
dishes, including their ingredients, can be found in many restaurants and farmers’ markets here in
San Diego.
Southern India
Southern India is mostly coastal
with a hot and humid climate. The
plentiful rainfall equates to an
abundance of rice, fruits and vegetables, and dishes are largely
based around these staples.
Southerners are known for having
the spiciest foods in the country. A
wide spectrum of spices can be
found in sizzling lentil fares and
hot and sour soups.
Popular dishes from this region
include dosa, a crepe made from
rice and lentils, eaten for breakfast
or dinner. Another is the deepfried snack, Vada. These donut
shaped spicy cakes are made from
dal, lentil or potato.
Eastern India
The east is characterized by beaches and mountains, while surprisingly touting an awfully high rate
of precipitation. Therefore, rice
patties, fresh fruits, vegetables and

fish rule in the east. Because of its
location, it’s no surprise that
Chinese and Mongolian influences can be found in eastern
dishes. Sweets are also popular in
this part of India. Yogurt, coconut
and dairy products are the staples
of their fashionable desserts.
Trendy in the east are momos,
spicy wontons filled with steamed
meat or vegetables. Sandesh are
milk-based sweets that often contain naturally sweet additives such
as coconut, pistachio and sugar.
Western India
The west of India is hot and dry,
meaning the produce is less fresh
and leans more toward the pickled
persuasion. As a result, a number
of delicious chutneys spring from
this region. The coastal part of the
west is also fertile with fresh
seafood, though the majority of
the western population is vegetarian because of religious beliefs.
It was in the west that the
Portuguese once resided, leading
to the creation of the favored vindaloo, a meal usually prepared
with pork. The west is also quite
diverse and, despite the number of
vegetarians, a great number of
meat-based dishes come from this
region. Specialties in sweet dishes
and spicy plates also vary within
the west.
In addition to the famous pork
vindaloo, chicken xacuti is another popular, Portuguese-inspired
meal.
Religion plays a big role in the
dietary decisions of Indians. Many
are vegetarians because of their
beliefs rather than personal preference. Hindus usually worship
cows and, instead of converting
them to oversized hamburgers,
they will use the cow for its dairy
production while often regarding
the heifer as a loving member of
the family.
The Islamic tradition in India
also contributes to the largely vegetarian population.
Spices play a tremendous role
in the flavor and nutritious benefits of Indian food. Heavily used
spices, including turmeric, cumin,
mustard seed and coriander, all
provide amazing nutrients and
eye-opening health benefits.
Masala is a homemade mixture of
several spices, often combined
with garlic and onions, that can be
served wet or dry depending on
the chef’s taste.
Another typical ingredient is
the clarified butter, ghee. While
some regions use it in day-to-day
meal preparation, it is usually
saved for special occasions in the
majority of the country.
Whether you are searching for
a new recipe or would like an
adventure the next time you go
out to dinner, the landscape and
culture of Indian food provides
endless opportunities for every
taste bud.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Aztecs take on undefeated
Utah in MWC showdown
D AV I D P O P E
A S S I S TA N T S P O R T S E D I T O R
On Dec. 18, 1989, Beth Burns
recorded her first victory as head
coach of the San Diego State
women’s basketball team.
Last week, against Air Force,
Burns got number 200.
“Two hundred wins at San
Diego State means that I’ve been
here a while, a couple times over,”
Burns said. “That’s a lot of players
and many coaches and many people who’ve done a lot of hard work
to make that happen. So it’s special
in that respect.”
The victory is actually the 281st
in Burns’ career, as she headed up
the Ohio State women’s team from
1997-2002 before returning to
SDSU in 2005.
Now, as Burns’ rebuilding
process is coming to fruition, her
Aztecs sit at 7-2 in the Mountain
West Conference (16-5 overall),
just two games behind first-place
Utah, who will face off against
SDSU tonight at Cox Arena.
The Utes are 16-6 overall this
season, boasting a 9-0 record within the MWC.
But tonight, the proverbial
unstoppable force meets the
immovable object as the Aztecs,
undefeated at home, take on Utah,
undefeated against conference foes.
“Utah on the women’s basketball side has been the standard
bearer of excellence in this league,”
Burns said. “So it’s a bit of a statement if you will. We don’t want to
beat an elite, we want to be an elite.
And if you beat elites consistently,
that’s the way you do that.”
Last month, SDSU fell to the
Utes, 58-52, in Salt Lake City. But
now, with the regular season title
potentially on the line, and conference tournament seeding to think
about, the Aztecs have no shortage
of motivation.
“I’ve talked (with members of
the SDSU men’s basketball team)
about going up against Utah,”
sophomore center Paris Johnson
said. “They’re 9-0. We want to be
their first upset in the conference,
(the team) who gives them that one
loss. That would be great in help-
ing our program in the long run.
I’m just excited to play them again.”
In that January matchup, SDSU
was doubled-up on rebounds,
grabbing just 24 boards to the
Utes’ 48 and allowed four Utah
players to score in double figures.
Meanwhile, junior guard Jené
Morris was the only Aztec starter
to score 10 or more points.
While SDSU is determined to
defend its home court and remain
undefeated at Cox, in the back of the
Aztecs’ minds, the postseason looms.
“I think confidence is the single
biggest thing,” Burns said. “The
more comfortable and confident
you play, the better you are.
Everybody knows three weeks
from now we (SDSU and Utah) are
likely to meet again.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Williams and company head to Salt Lake City
E D WA R D L E W I S
SPORTS EDITOR
Glenn Connelly / Assistant Photo Editor
On Saturday night against Air Force, senior guard Richie Williams became the MWC’s
all-time leader in steals. Tonight, the Aztecs take on the Utah Utes in Salt Lake City.
At the 14:48 mark in Saturday
night’s victory over Air Force, the
public
address
broadcaster
announced that with Richie
Williams’ two first half steals, the
senior guard had become the
Mountain West Conference and
school leader in career steals.
The crowd proceeded to give
Williams a standing ovation for his
feat, but Williams was nowhere to
be found. He was buried in a huddle talking X’s and O’s with head
coach Steve Fisher, despite his
team’s 24-point lead.
He doesn’t necessarily want or
search for credit for his accomplishments, because that’s the person he is: a quiet leader who does
his job.
“I know he broke the steals
record that Brandon Heath had,
and he’s very deserving of that
recognition, but he does so much
more for us,” Fisher said. “He has
been such a relentless, tireless
competitor and as selfless as a guy
can be; never caring about points
and shots and minutes. When he’s
there he plays hard, and that’s
what’s made Richie, Richie.”
His statistics, much like his size
(5 feet 10 inches, 162 pounds), are
far from eye-catching. The senior
point guard is averaging just 7.1
points per game, 4.2 rebounds per
game and nearly four assists per
game. But looking past the stats,
it’s clear to nearly everyone on the
San Diego State men’s basketball
team that Williams is the most
valuable player.
“He’s playing with such intelligence right now,” Fisher said after
the TCU game on Jan. 28. “He’s been
all over the floor. He really spearheads us.”
Case in point: When Williams
went down awkwardly in the final
three minutes of the game against
Colorado State on Jan. 31, immediate
concern and anxiety struck every
SDSU face. So much so, that Fisher
left his perch near the scorer’s table to
reach down and find out what ailed
his senior leader.
While the injury turned out to be
nothing more than a tweak of a knee,
it gave the Aztecs a glimpse at what
basketball life would be like without
Williams. He didn’t start the next
game against UNLV on Feb. 3, and his
replacement, sophomore guard D.J.
Gay, tallied a mere two assists and
two rebounds in 35 minutes.
“I’ve grown as the years came and
I’ve matured,” Williams said. “With
reign comes responsibility and as I
got older, I had to start taking
more responsibility.”
Tonight, when SDSU take on
co-MWC leader Utah at 7 p.m. at
the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake
City for first place, Williams understands he’ll not only need to continue to play the leader role, but
play great defense as well. The
Utes have won four straight games,
including six of their last seven,
and boast the conference’s secondbest shooting percentage (.486).
They also have a 7-foot-2-inch center, Luke Neville, who is second in
the conference in scoring, averaging 17.3 points per game, and is also
first in the MWC in rebounding,
averaging 8.3 boards per game.
“They are a very tough team,
especially at home,” Williams said.
“They are a good shooting team and
Luke Neville is a beast inside.
“We’re going to have our hands
full.”
AT A GLANCE
WHEN: 7 p.m.

WHY TO WATCH: Richie Williams and the Aztecs will try

DAILY HOROSCOPE
HUMOR: KARMA, PLEASE CLOSE YOUR EYES
Do you want to donate?
H
ere’s the deal: I
don’t want your
stinkin’ flyer. I don’t
want to go to the
wannabe underage
party. I don’t want to help the
environment. I don’t want to sign
the petition.
But, I do. And it’s horrible. I
don’t think I’m that nice of a person. I can’t say patience is on my
top-10 list of personality traits.
Then why must I always do this
to myself?
I see those people with the flyers and clipboards, gazing longingly at the passersby (who so
obviously is praying that he or
she doesn’t get harassed) and … I
cave. Those poor flyer people
who put on these big, bright and
shining fake smiles, even when
every person that passes them by
does nothing more than grunt
and shrug (if they even look up
from their text message).
Every person except for me, I
mean.
One of my New Year’s resolutions was to be more patient,
easygoing and not so uptight
about “needing” to rush off somewhere. So now, that stupid resolution haunts me as I hesitatingly
approach the 20-foot radius of a
flyer-person. Shamefully enough,
I try to quickly find an excuse to
change my path — “Oh, The Daily
Aztec! I need another copy of that
… from a faraway newspaper bin.”
Or I suddenly have to pick up a
very important phone call — even
though it didn’t ring, I just knew
that it was important.
But, sometimes they get me.
Standing there, sneakily evaluating their surroundings with
watering mouths of who will be
their next prey, they catch my
K R I ST I N A P E LT I N
F E AT U R E S E D I T O R
eyes. I’m caught off guard; I can’t
find a Daily Aztec bin anywhere.
I’m lost. They see that I’m weakening. I can’t blame them for taking full advantage as the flyer-person takes a tiny step, inching
closer, they slightly smile and
then they go in for the kill.
“Hi there, do you have a quick
second to help 5,000 poor, ravenous children in Honduras?” he or
she asks with a huge grin.
I answer, “Umm … well …”
I’m dead meat — the pathetic,
scrambling gazelle at the lion’s
mercy.
I know exactly how these people feel because I (embarrassingly
enough) have been that flyer-person on more than one occasion;
so I think they’re probably appreciative to at least have someone
listen to their shpiel.
So I listen, which makes it
worse because now there’s no
way I can make an excuse like “I
have to make it to class, sorry!” I
can’t listen to all of those horrific
statistics then say, “No, thanks”
to go eat my big, delicious homemade lunch.
I come up with the most commonly used excuse for every
American right now: “I have no
money, sorry!” But I still can’t
leave without throwing in something else to ease my guilt, “But
I’d really love to help. Is there a
Web site or something that I can
get more information?”
I feel bad, I really do. But
come on, at least I stopped and
listened.
What cheers me up after my
dreadful guilt-trip is watching the
flyer-people slowly fade throughout the day. On my way to my 10
a.m. class they’re bubbly and
bouncing to each of their victims,
but by lunch time it’s obvious
that they’re getting a little picky
at who they torment. I can see it
on their faces when they slightly
scrunch their noses and face a
different direction; they now only
have eyes for weak ones like me.
As the afternoon approaches
they get a second wind, a new
boost of motivation. Now they
seem strategic and determined. I
see them with more oomph then
in the morning and they literally
hop and land right in front of
people. This way the poor little
gazelle has only one way to go —
backward, which is very unlikely.
Then, just to end the day with
a bang, in the late afternoon
when I’m finally free and ready to
go home I see the flyer-person
again, sitting on the freedom
steps, head down and back
hunched in defeat. From time to
time I see a little hope when they
lift their arm up in the air, hand
full of flyers, head still down just
hoping that maybe someone
walking by will snatch one on
their own.
That’s when I feel a wave of
relief. If that big, hungry lion has
such a bad attitude, he obviously
doesn’t care about those 5,000
poor ravenous children in
Honduras.
