, After nine months, the Californi~ State U~versity system and its faculty union continue to
battle for a contract agreement and ,uniqn rep,:
resentative~ s~ya strike may be',a possibility
,
'
once negotiations cease.' "
, The California Faculty Association's contract
wi~ the system expired in June. Negoqations
for a new contract were started last spring, but '
talks failed and Q1etwo groups eventually had
, to go mto mediation.
Now, negotiations will head into a fact-finding phase during which a panel of three members will hear issues in dispute and submit a'
report on possible solutions.,
.
However, the panel's recommendations are
not b,indingi meaning CSU Chancellor Charles
Reed can- impose his own contract. In 1999,
R:eed chose this option after rtegotiatiorn? for
,higher pay failed"and tension among the fac- " '_""",-'''''',','
'
, . ulty has been high since then.
Han agreement isn't reached by the end of
negotiations, faculty will be working without a
pos,contract. Once this occurs, job actions
sible_ These could include anything from a formal strike to asking faculty to only perform
their duties "to the letter" of what is required.
Linda Smith, CFAvice president at San Diego
State, said each university could decide what
type of action to take.
,
-"When faculty, can't gefa contract, they find
that they have to stand up," Smith said. "Hope-,
fully this time faculty will be able to stand up
and, through bargaining, get a contract."
,
In October, faculty at a CFA board of trustees
meeting voted unanimously to ask officers to
prepare ballots and election procedures-for a
, , .strike authorization vote, which could pOSSibly
, , be held this semester.
'
The first time a vote like this was passed was
in Spring 1999 after Reed imposed his own contract; However, in the next month, the two factions came to a contract agreement.
During the first few weeks of school, CFA
chapters on every campus will hold informa~
tional "Strike/Work Action Meetings" where
faculty members will have the chance to dis-,
cuss the issues in bargaining and plan for possible job actions.

After five years of construction, university officials celebrated the opening of the
new $31 million science facility.
'
The new Chemical Sciences Laboratory,
located on the comer of College Avenue,
and Canyon Crest Drive, replaces the existing CheqUstry and Geology building constructed in 1962.
"
A ceremony was held last week where
university officials, local politicians and
community members toured the new facil, 'ity and learned about different aspects of
the building. The ceremony was originally
scheduled for September" but was postponed after the terrorist attacks.
,
"Topay's ~eremony reaffirms the university's commitment to our students, our faculty and'the cOmniunity We serve," University President Stephen Weber said.

The program is designed to test cus.lomer scnrice, fOCUSing on how friendly

they are wearing uniforms and if their

.
. Students operate, as the secret shoppers. Currently, there 'are 15 shoppers
who work each month in exchange for a
free gym membership while they participate in the' program.
'
Each month, the secret shoppers are
given a different scenario to act out and
report.~~ the service they received. Amy

Recreation Center, said the'scenarios·are
typical of how cust,omers usually act.
They 'can be as simple as asking for gym

After completing a scen~rio, the shopper fills out a five-page report on the service they received. These reports are then

t turns out that the anti-war protesters of the
Vietnam era had their facts wrong, and were
fooled into ... well, acting like fools. It also
turns out that they could l/ave bothered to
, .uncover certain facts about th(!ir movement
and about '~lreedom -loving" North Vietnam but they didn't. But ins,tead, they "ended" the
war, creating the circumstances for Leninists to
come to power. Tnese Leninists, by the way,
were then able to kill or enslave tens of millions in Southeast Asia.
One of the protesters' favorite arguments
was that the United States was conspiring
with South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh
Diem in order to prohibit free eleCtions in .
1956; it was' thought that these elections,
which would oecide the future of Vietnam,
would fall to Ho Chi Minh's' COrluTIunists, to
the United,States' ire. 'In other words, the pro·
"'testers thought that the U.~ opposed the elec·
tions because the wrong people would win~ .'
.' Ac~u?lly, the U.S. opp,osed the elections "
.because the North Vietnamese didn't want the
elections supervised by the United Nations, arid
because Ho Chi Minh routinely won 99 percent of the vote in North Vietnamese elections.
We therefore gathered that the ete'ction would·
have been bogus, as Hanoi ,had a !:l\ajorityof
. the people and was already skilled at turning
out these types of·elections. .
.
As Robert F. Turner argues in the Weekly
S,tandard; the result of our refusalto sign on to .
the'se elections was the creation, by the North
, Vietnam C'ommunistParty, of the National'
Liberation Fron~'for South Vietnam. Three ,
months l;Iefore the NLFwas cteated, the Communist Party CO'ngres's in Hanoi' willed the
creation of a front aimed at Hberating the
.
"people in the South." But our protesters did·
n't even bother to find this out. Indeed; ..
Hanoi's Defense Minister General Giap
.
bragged in a ,1983 French documentary,about .
the decision to estab~ish the NLF; this also
,
incluped opening the Ho Chi Minh Trail to
ship soldiers and supplies southward, for war.
Protesters also claimed that South Vietnam
was holding 20i,OOO "political prisoners."
Actually, South Vietnam's prison population
was only 36,000 with 6,000 prisoners "Com- .
munist criminals." According to Turner, these
people were being held in tiny cages for ter·
rorism, e;<tortion, threats of murder and other
violent acts.' Communist criminals are usually
up for these types of acts, anyway. It was said .
that these criminals were held in subterranean
"tiger cages," yet Turner himself visited tHese
"cages" on a 1974 congressional staff visit and
fO\lnd them to be "nearly 10 feet tall, abo.ve
ground and completely protected from-the ele- .
ments."
.
It. even turns out that protesters working for
the NLF provided Hanoi with'the names and. '
serial numbers of U.S. solqiers serving in Vietnam;the Viet Cong would then phone the
men',s parents or wives andreport their, .
. "deaths whiIeserving:inVietnam."
,
But by 1973, however, the date at which
Congress made it illegal for the president to
spend money for operations in Vietnam, we.
. had won the·war. Turner writes, "[Tlhe Viet,
Cong had ceased to exist as a meaningful

1972 had been decisively blunted and South'
Vietnam controlled every population center

·Living iI:lAmerica, one'
cannot help btit be
familiar with,auto accidents.
-Indeed, they are so common
·that we· tend to deal with
them only Insofar as they: '
. 'cause traffic jams. We ignore
the fact that each of these
accidents involves at least
one person.
As you .are probably
·aware from reading this
issue's front page and special section, The Daily Aztec
staff have recently been
forced to deal with such an
occurrence. We regret the
loss of photo editor Greg
Lithgoe greatly, as all who
knew him do ..
As so often happens,
however, this unfortunate
event has shocked us into
examining something that
we otherwise pay little
attention to:. driv~r .safety.
Research conductedby
the National Highway
Transportation ,Safety .
Administration has found
.that drivers and passengers
cut their risk of dying in
auto accidents almost in
half by wearing a seat belt.
In addition, the National
.Center for Statistics and
Analysis reported that in '
2000,72 percent of belted
vehicle occupants survived
potentially fatal crashes
compared to 42 percent of
unbelted occupants.
The seat belt is the single
. most effective safety feature
on'a car. The only thing
more likely to save your life
in an accident is'avoiding .it
altpgether. S<?me Cqr manufacturers are considering
vehicles that won't start
unless the 6c.c~f>ants' s,eat.,
1Jelts are fastened. The Da.ily
Aztec wholeheartedly supports such a policy:
Beyond seat belts, safe
driving requires two things:
alertnes!7'and caution. To
that end) one should never
drive while tired or intoxicated~ Speed should not be
excessive, as:a clear correla'. tion has been shown

By

. CONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST
ike most red-blooded Americans, the
terrorist attacks in New York; WashL
ington, D.C. and Pennsylvania have fired
up my patriotic sentiment and sent my
s'upport for otir nation'S military into
overdrive. Thus, seeing as how so many
San Diego-based Marines ~nd Navy personnel were among the first to arrive in
the Arabian Gulf for the subsequent war
on terrorism, it's not surprising that I,
like many other local residents, find
myself following the news more intently
"these days~"
.
More than ever beforet I have been
soaking up any and all news reports having to do with the attacks of Sep.t. 11 and
the war in Afghanistan. Online, via radio
and especially on cable television's 24hour news channels, I continue to seek
out information on the latest developments at all hours of the day and night.
As legitimately concerned asl am,·.
however, with the increasingly complex
and dangerous events transpiring in the
Middle East: the unexplainable v.agaries
of the mind'- or more specifically, a
sleep deprived, slightly over-active
imagination - have led me to reach a
valid (if somewhat frivolous) conclusion:
The TV news is chock full of hoWes.
To be sur~, the talking heads ?f televi-'
~ion journalism have never been kno~n·.
i
for rampant ho~eliness; however, it
seems now as if the major networks have'
made a deliberate, concerted effort to
hire the prettiest faces and thrust them at
· the American viewing public at every
opportunity.
,
Don't believe me? Just try watching
MSNBC for an hour without seeing the
.blonde and lovely Ashleigh Banfield
flashed at you ,repeatedly, either in the
form of her "Regionin Confliet" reports
or on the numerous commercials enthusiastically touting them.
What's that you say? You prefer
brunettes? Well, you're in luck, since this
network doesn't discriminate - you can,
admire the dark, silky locks and shiny,
red lipstick smiles of anchor Norah
O'Donnell or reporter Campbell Brown.
Their wholesome, milk-fed good looks
make them seem sort of like the girlsnext-door that you wislled you had!
CNN, the vanguard of cable television
news and once considered (at least by
me) the most dignified and legitimate '
news station, has stooped so far as to .
hype its recent hiring of well-known
(and adorable) anchor Paula Zahn by
giving her a perky new haircut and pro~
claiming her "SEXY!" on its TV ads. I
don't know' about you,. but knowing my
news anchor is officially SEXY really
makes me want to tune in.

appreciate beauty as much as the next
person, under normal circumstances. It's
just that it seems rather, well, cheesy for
the networks to trot out their knockputs
and concentrate them in prime time to
take advantage of higher ratings attributed to the war.
It appears so contrived, so manipulative - and it doesn't make the bad news
that war inevitably brings any easier to

But instead, these "pea'ce activi~ts"
used faultyfacts and North Viet- . .

cause, which amounted to the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam.
But unbeknownst to these protesters,
the ensuing Stalinist tyrannies that
were able to flourish without U.S.
opposition ended up killing more
people in the first two years of
"peace" than in the past 14 years of
war. And, as I mentioned, the murder
or enslavement of tens of millions of
innocent people. Now that's something to protest about.

Busy break
Craft hires on' staff, inks
mid-year transfer recruits
By .JARED QUIENT
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
While most San Diego State students
were still busy nursing New Year's Eve
hangovers on Jan. 2, SDSU head football
coach Tom Craft was busy rebuilding a
football program.
In his first official signings sinc,e becom,ing head.coach,_Craft announced that both
Zach Barnes and Nicholas Penalosa will
join the program in,January and will par"
ticipate ~ the Aztecs' spring !=1rills.
Both are massive offensive linemen:
Both are local juco talents.
"We ,graduated .28 seniors last year,
. some on the offensive line," Craft said.
"We needed people that could compete,
and we have addressed an issue that needed to be addressed."
'.
While personnel on the line rriight look
different next year because' ofmatriculation and talent development, the scheme '
they use will not.
Craft kept Damon Baldwin on as his
offensive line coach, who had run SDSU's
offensive front for the past four years,
"Damon is a former. San Diego State
player and has done a fine job c~aching the
offensive line the past few yearS," Craft
said. "He has a~o done an outstanding job
as a recrui,ter, as I can attest from being at
Palomar. It is a perfect fit/'
'. Judging by tl).efirst twosignings, Baldwin is continuing to pay dividen~s.
,DEfENSMCOACHES STAY ON
Along with Baldwin, both linebackers
coach Charlie Camp and secondary coach
Fred BHel are remaining from Ted Tollner' s,
coaching staff. Camp brings unmatchable
enthusiasm to the practice field, as well as'
an excellent rapport with his players.
"I've observed Charl!e in practice, and I·
was impressed with his ability to work
with the student.athletes," Craft said. "He
has a g~at pr~nce on the field and as a
recruiter, Charlie is also a native of New
Orleans and can make an impact in the
city."
Joining Camp on defensive coordinator
Thorn Kaumeyer's staff is Bliel, who has
spent the last four years on Montezuma
Mesa.
, "When I was offenSive coordinator here
a few years ago,' Fred w~s the defensive
coordinator at New M~xico;'" Craft said ..
"In terms of the athletes, we always
. seemed to have the edge. But I always felt
he did an excellent job with his game
plans, given the talent. I also feel he and
Thorn Kaumeyer will work extremely well
together."
DElGADO MOVES ON
After eight seasons manning the defensive sidelines of SDSU in one form or
another, former defensive coordinator Ken
,
Delgado has moved on.
Last month, the 40 year o~d was hired as
the defensive line coach at Cal by head
coach Jeff Tedford. Tedford, the for:mer
Oregon offensive coordinator, was hired
, right after the end of the regular season,
but still coached the Ducks' offense in their
38-7 thrashing of Colorado.

SALT LAKE CITY - It was the

West Conference)' outshot the
Utes, (12-3, 2-0). It beat them on
the boards. It had a season low 11
turnovers.
It still wasn't enough.
The Aztecs fell again on the
road to Utah by a 76-70, count in
front of 11,005 fans despite playing its best game in Utah since
SDSU lost' by a 93-89 count in
overtime Jan. 10,1986.
"You play so J:lard and don't
get a chance to reward yourself
with a win," SDSU head coach
Steve Fisher
said. "I want
to put my ,
head in my
hands and
cry. But if we fightlike that, we're
going to, win."
,
, On a normal day, ifSDSU shot
'52 percent and outrebounded its
. opponent by a 36-27 count, Fisher would tell you that the Aztecs
-would'win. '
That was before the Utes

beyond the arc.

And that would fail to account
for Utah guard Nick Jacobsen - '
the biggest ,factor of them all.

QUIENT: Hooping it up at Duke and going to Orange Bowl? Good times!
continued from page 21
ing the campus of the University of Maryland, our first college visited.
Following the quick tour of the pieturesque campus, we begin the six-hour drive
to the Raleigh-Durham area.
We finaUy make it down to Tobacco
Road at 9:30 p.m. After getting lost in
Durham, we make it to a bar and grill' in
Chapel Hill. I;ranklin Street, the main drag
on the campus of North Carolina, was pretty jumpin' for a night when school was out
of session.
A cute blonde was our waitress - I still
say she wanted me. After a few beers our
trio stumbles into ,the motel at 2:30 a.m.
DEC. 29 - RALEIGH, NC
Wake up at 11 a.m. Throw down a few
burgers for breakfast, reach UNC's campus by noon. Chapel Hill is absolutely gorgeous. The architectuJ;'e combines the Old
South with an ~ast Coast college campus
feel. After walking around for a half-hour,
I am'in love. I could
. easily end up here next
year.
The game we were actually in North
Carolina for began at 3 p.m. EST, so at
around 1 p.m., we reach Duke's campus
eight miles down Tobacco Road. The campus is just as gorgeous as UNC,.but there
is a different feel. It's definitely game day.
. The Dukies are out in full force,. The
'game is sold ou~, per usual, even though
the students are all on break. The game'
itself was ridiculous.
The Blue Devils lived up to their reputation as the· best team in the nation, as
Mike Dunleavy led Duke to a 92-79 victory over San piego State, its toughest home
victory of the year.
. On the surface, Cameron seems like just
another tough place to play. Then the game
starts. The noise goes up. So does' the heat.
By the time the ball is tipped off, it's over
80 degrees courtside, while it's about half
~that outside. Visiting teams have no
chance.'
.
.
After the game, Eric and I found a bas-
.
ketball underneath the scorer's table. So
there I was, playing one-on-one at
Cameron Indoor Stadium, on the same
rims where players named Hill, Hurley
and Laettner had played before.
And I was getting paid to do it. Why the
hell am I l:?oing to law school again?
DEC. 30 -ON THE ROAD
The three of us wake before the sun
does. We hit the airport, leaVing Hayes for
good.

Fifteen hours, one sunrise, two college
campuses and three states later, we arrived
in Miami, two days before the Orange
Bowl. ' 4 ,
.
We stopped in Gainesville on the way
down, and let me say this about the University of Florida. I thoughtSDSU had the
hottest girls in the country.
I was wrong. Florida moves up two
notches on my schools-most-wanted list.

"They set a record for 3-pointers tl1e other

Said Fisher: "They screen you and they

Jacobsen gets an unguarded three. We gave
them a lot, but they earned a lot."

Early on it seemed that Utah was intent
on shooting the lights outi hitting 4,-of-6 3pointers to open up an 18-4 lead ..
It didn't faze SDSU. The Aztecs colmtered with a 19-2 run of its own to open up

' the surface, 2001 ~ghtappear to be another typically dull year for'
erkan movies, ~ith the low-brow teen comedy (American' Pie 2),
the pointless remake (Planet of the Apes) and the slow-motion testos, terone explosion epic (Pearl Harbor) all lining up in their respective
,
,places on the dream factory's assembly line. However, just as multiple
viewings of a great film reveal layers of depth beyond th~ sur.face, a closer
look at 2001 reveals a nu~ber of exceptional and challengmg films.'
, If we had to categorize the trend in cinematic storytelling last year, we
might dub it "The Yea~ of the Twisted Narrative"; the most interesting films
eschewed the traditional beginning-middle-end structure, eith~r Qffering up'
no discernible plot points, .linge~g on scenes lon9 enough t? develop ~ot
just characters and story but also atmosphere, or (m one case, at least) flIpping the usual flow of events backward.

David LYnch~ probably the most well-knQwn cult director in the world,
made a spectacular return" to f~rm with Mulholland Drive,. a co~pletely. riv-, '
eting nightmare transposed directly from the subconsciOUs to the' Silver
screen. The film, parts of which were originally shot to be a television miniseries, isn't really as nonsensical as you've probably heard, though it does
manage to confound any attempt we might make to logically dissect it. Like
any great work of surrealism, it provokes an emotional and intellectual
response by way of vivid, arresting imagery and free-form associations.
British writer / dii'ector Ch'ristopher Nolan's Memento turned out to be the
sleeper indie hit of the year. After generating si.gnifican~ buzz ~t S~d~ce
last January, the thriller proceeded t9 blow audiences. mmds With a lmu~ed
theatrical release in March. Nolan took an old, estabhshed formula - film
noir revenge hunt - and made it fresh by introducing a reverse narrative
justified by the protagonist's mental condition (he can't make short-term
memories). We watched, quite literally, a backward movie unfold on the
screen, and were forced to construct Leonard Shel\>y's StOl;), the same way he
would -; in d~located fragments..

T've always had a strange fascination with
l.microphones. Since I was in diapers, I've
constantly felt a need to speak or sing into
any microphone in sight. As a child, I used
to sing into shower heads and microphones at supermarkets. In high school, I
was the lead singer in a rock band, and,
now, many years later and vocal octaves
A
lower, I am the host of my own radio show.
Having a radio show is something I've
fantasized about doing for years. When I
was younger and I listened to music at
home, I would often narrate between
tracks what had just been played. I never
did this ~ith other people around, mind
, you, but when I was bored and alone, I
found it amusing in a geeky, personal way.
For three hours every week, I get the
, opportunity to let myself be heard on
radios and computer speakers all over the
world on KCR, SDSU's campus station.
'Through college radio, I'm able to
express myself in ways that professional, ,
Clear-Channel-employed DJs never could.
,I can play any song I want, I can say anything I want, except profaI1:ity, and I d~n't
have to stick to any guidelines about musical content.
'
For a mUsic-obsessive iike me, this kind
of gig was a dream come true. I didn't get
. paid and practically nobody listened, but I
had my own radio show; and that was all
that mattered. And best of all, I had a '
microp~one in my hand.
On my first day, a bunch of my friends
tuned in and made comments on the
request board online. Ina small way; it , '
made me feel like I was cooler than everyone. Everyone was listening to me, making
requests,' asking for shout-outs an<;l whatnot. It.was still awkward and ilmateur, but
damn it, it was fun.
'
" During the next couple weeks, I wrote
down my playlists ahead of time. I would'
bring them into the'studio and play them,
song-for-song, as I had ~ritten them. I felt
. that, it,seemed more professional and
, organized if I planned things out.
On Halloween last year, I planned a special theme show to celebrate. So, like the
weeks before, I sat down at home nexUo
my CD collection, writing down all of the
spookyghost-and-goblin songs I wanted to '
. play.
.
'
While I was doing the show, 'the then
music, director came in to put some'new '
CDs on the shelf. He looked over at my ,
playlist, confused.
,.
.
"
"Did you write it up before'you came in
today?" he asked. "I always just come in '
,he1'eand.play;randomstuff.".II/1 :~;i'; d
, I didri't think much about his comment
, ,~t first, but after I finished my show, I .
began to focus more heavily on what he .
said. For a ~onth, I had qeen meticulously
planniilg my shows so that I could play
exactly what I wanted when I wanted, but
in doing that, I completely missed the
point of what college radio is aU about.
College radio isn't about playlists or format. It's about individualism. It's about
being different. It's about playing whatever
you feel like playing at the time, instead of
, what's on the list.
I also began discovering ne'w things in
KCR's CD library. After opening my mind
to methods of executing my show, I
opened my mind to new types of music.
When I began, I figured I would stick to
the hip indie rock bands I thought were
staples of college radio, but I began dabbling in garage, folk, experimental, goth,
hip-hop, electronic and krautiock. Shortly
after this happened, I went broke from
buying too many CDs.
So now, a year later, I'm stiihfoing my
show, but I'm a lot more liberal about my'
methods. I don't write out my playlistsin

changed: I still can't separate myself from
