_You're stuck in traffic on
Interstate 8 when you notice an
accident ahead. TUrning on the car
radio, you hope to get more information about the accident, only to
hear a report that three critically
injUred passengers are awaiting
urgent medical attention.
If these trauma victims were in
need of blood transfusions, they
could possibly deplete the entire
blood supply of San Diego County
in a matter of hours. The minimal
supply of blood, at both the San,
Diego Blood Bank and the San
Diego chapter of the American Red
Cross is the prime reason both
organizations are strongly encouraging healthy individuals to donate
blood as soon as possible.
According to the San Diego
Blood

Web
site,
www.sandiegobloodbank.org, six 6f the

dangerously low." There is'currently just a one-ciay supply of blood
available, the San Diego Blood

San Diego chapter of the
American Red Cross spokeswo~
Gayle Falkenthal said to donate
blood, a person must be at least 17
years old, weigh at least 110 pounds
and be in generally good health.
As stated on the San Diego Blood
Bank's Web site, it takes 24 hours to
replace lost fluid in the donor's
body after a donation. However, to
replenish the lost red blood cells, it
can take up to eight weeks - the
same amount of time needed before
a person may donate blood again.
''You can help save three lives by
donating one pint of blood' - it
takes less than an hour," Whitbum
said. "We depend upon students,
faculty and staff at SDSU. to helfJ
supply San Diego's blood.
'
"H every student and staff member donated blood, that would go a
long way toward alleviating San
Diego's blood shortage."

In the past four years, the
San Diego State community
has seen both the school's
mascot and athletics logo
change. The community
may soon see another
change _ the academic
logo,
The re-vamp of the logo
is an effort to help people's
perceptions of SDSU match
its reality as a major
research and teaching university, Jack Beresford,
Interim Associate Vice
President of Marketing and
Communications, said.
Vice
President
of
University Advancement
Theresa Mendoza said that
about eight years ago the
university surveyed the
community leaders and
alumni to see what they
thought of SDSU, and it
showed people didn't really
know what the university
stood for and what it did.
"Quality and research
were two things that people
didn't connect with the
work of San Diego State,
which was amazing,"
Mendoza said.
To combat this lack of
identity, both University
'and Advancement as well
as
Marketing
and
Communications created
SDSUniverse, a publication
aimed at faculty showcasing good news about SDSU
and launched SDSU 360
Tours to show influential
members of the community
the workand atmosphere of
SDSU. They also updated
SDSU's 360 magazine and
created SDSU Month, an
annual celebration of SDSU,
its researCh, faculty and stu-
den~.
ey
then
surveyed
busin~s and opinion lead-
ers, faculty, staff and alumni, and discovered most of
them didn't know what the
university's logo was. Most
confused it with the athletics logo, Mendoza said.
The current academic
logo is a one-dimensional
image of Hepner Hall,
Hardy Melporial Tower and
the adjacent palm tre~s.
Beresford said it was introduced in 1977 along with
the currerit SDSU lettering.
"The current identity,
which is on' ~very garbage
can at San DiegoState, is the
. SDSU mark -which has
for it's' time - serVed Us'
fairly well," Beresford said.
The proposed logo
includes a 3;-D image of the
Hepner Hall bell tower and
silos. A key part of the
image is the archway, which
looks like a wide-open pas- '
sage. Both BeresfOrd and
Mendoza described this
archway as a portal tQ
knowledge. Hepner Hall
was chosen as the logo
because it is a lasting part of
SDSU history and something past and future generations of students could recognize, It was, in fact, the
original entrance to the
campus. ,
Also, by keeping Hepner
Hall in the logo, the university's logo will be an evolution of the old one, Craig
Fuller, co-owner and creative director of Greenhaus,
the firm that designed the
imag~, said.
Another aspect t£?' change
will be the le,ttering o'f
"SDSU" and "San Diego
State Univ.ersity." The font
will be more traditional and
similar to those of other universities.
'
If
President
Weber
approves the logo, ~t will be
unveiled March 27 during
the Open House of SDSU
Month, Beresford said. The
logo would then begin
going into use dUring th7
next
academic
year,
Beresford said.
Mendoza
said
the
process was made possible
by a' six-figure donation
from the Rubio family. The
donation was specifically
for changing the logo so
funding for the .project
would not have to come
from ~ SDSU budget. The
most expensive part of the
change would be replacing
the marquee located near
Interstate 8, and this is covered by the donation.
The materials such as
stationery with the current
SDSU logo will change
gradually as old supplies
run out and new ones are
printed, Mendoza said'.
Beresford said there
would be templates available to help Web sites make
the transition. Web designers on campus may also be
able to help with the
change, he said..'
There may always be
remainders of the ~t
logo on campus on items
such as garbage cans and
benches, Beresford, said.
However, if unveiled on
schedUle, the new logo will
,be ready'o~time to be put
,on the new monuments
coming with the,completion
of the trolley station,
Mendoza said. '

linguistic attacks
leave Left crippled
,
na June 14, 2003 interview for
www.salon.com.Erica Jong, a master wordsmith in her own right
("Fear of Flying"), had this .to say
about words and politics: "The right
wing has redefined reproductive
choice. They've captured the language. They say that they're 'prolife"and many young people think
th~t they are pro-life, too. They (the
right wing) won the linguistic
debate. And when you win the linguistic debate, you've won the
debate. Period."
Given the truth of this statement,
the parlance of our times has never
been so dangerous.
Tuesday's State of the Union
Address shone light on a blade
wielded so wisely and ferociously by
the Right, a weapon bungled and
broken by the Democratic Party.
Pre,sident Bush - or rather, his political cadre - have manipulated and
mastered the arsenal· of language, an
arsenal that, fortunately for him and
neocons everywhere, the American
public has grossly underestimated.
Let's take a look at some choice
excerpts from the president's current
assessment of the United States.
Bush spends a substantial amount of
time defending an initiative that was
central to his very election, the No
Child Left Behind Act, an act that
stipulates that children nofbe shuttled from grade to grade like so
much livestock.
Now, who but an ogre would dare
disagree with or oppose something
so compassionate and forward thinking as this? Who, indeed, would say,
"Hey, I want to leave children
behind! I don't care a whit for
them!" I bet those cold-hearted, flataffected Democrats would. Bastards.
Never mind the program is severely
overburdened and underfunded,
rendering Bush's promises totally
hypocritical and void of meaning.
Another example of Bush's brilliance in the linguistic arena comes
with the Patriot Act, and his assertions that this act protects our
nation's very security. Who, among
you readers, desires to be unpatriotic? I can think of no person who
craves that label, who spends fervent
nights awake lamenting his classification as a supporter of his country
and all it stands for.
And, of course, the kicker comes
with Bush's declaration that, "Our
nation must defend the sanctity of
marriage. Actually, no, President
Bush. I have long thought marriage
should be a profane institution relegated solely to reality television'
shows and Las Vegas wedding
chapels, only to be quickly annulled
the following day.
Kidding aside, we begin to see the
veiled acumen of Republicans' stake
on euphemisms. Everyone loves children and has a vested interest in
their future. We ~ll strive to embody
patriotism, especially post-Sept. 11.
No one, in her heart of hearts, wants
to see fl mockery made of marriage.
The/rein lies the majesty of what
. the Right has done. Everyone agrees
with them. ReviewingtJie text of .
Bush's State of the Union, I agree
wholeheartedly with practically
,
I
II
-
everything he says. And when people are in agreement, they tend not
to delve deeply into details. And
~y should they? They believe the
president is in their corner, that they
share a common, hallowed ground.
However, when you scrape away
the surface sheen of language, you
begin to see the Patriot Act severely
undermines our civil liberties by
allowing the government to monitor
our actions and disclose our confidential personal information to innumerable "intelligence" agencies of
questioriable legitimacy. Peel away
the pretty words, and you find
"sanctity of marriage" applies not to
those who would love and honor
one another, but orily to men and
women, regardless of what they
would do to pervert the love implicit
in such a union.
By establishing a monopoly on
this market of words, Republicans
have dealt a fatal blow to Democrats.
Sure, Democrats can counter reproductive propaganda with such carefully crafted phrases as "pro-choice,"
but the Republicans chum out positive catch phrases with such speed
and alacrity, liberals will never catch
up. And, even if Democrats could
muster some clever slogans, the '
solid ones have already been firmly
embedded in the American psyche,
and are just as firmly associated with
George W. Bush and his affiliates.
The Democrats dropped the ball on
this one, possibly the most important
issue of all, and they can never pick
it up.
As it stands, Democrats attack the
Right with a barrage of negativity.
The Patriot Act does not help usrather, it hurts our liberties and
therefore our country. The No Child
Left Behind Act does not live up to
its promises. These statements are
true, and Democrats are right in
exposing the truth behind such
beautifully packaged refuse.
However, Democratic Party representatives come across as whiny,
combative and - worst of all reactive rather than proactive.
Living as we do in a high-anxiety
environment, we need assurance that
our leaders will protect us rather
than nurse our wounds after the fact. .
We need to hear soothing, inspiring
words - words that give us comfort
and hope and put our worried
minds at ease.
Too bad Republicans have all the
right words.

and the rest of Asia, which have been pouring goods into China, into a downturn. The

abruptly.
The opportunities:
Brazil emerges. Led by its charismatic
president:"Lula," Brazil experiences an economic turnaround, triggering a dramatic
upturn in Latin America. Riding this wave,
viewed as confirmation that there is an
alternate path to Washington's "free trade"
pact, Brazil and Argentina lead a move to
form a Latin American economic union.
Iran and the United States, again. A
reformist upsurge sweeps Iran, forcing
Islamic clerics to yield real power to the
president and a reforruist-eontrolled parliament. The new government restores diplomatic relations with United States, and economic ties between the United States and
Europe expand.
Japan's economy revives. Japan's economy experiences surprising growth, led by
consumer spending and a new wave of
technological innovations led by the auto
and electronics industry. The growth allows
government reformers to finally tackle the
debt-ridden banking system, setting the
stage for an end to Japan's era of stagnation.
Osama gets cornered. After months of
delay, NAW and the U.S. put 50,000 troops
into Mghanistan to beat back a Taliban
insurgency. Carrying out a sweep through
the mountains along the Pakistan border,
German troops capture O!iama bin Laden in
a well-stockedcave, along with his senior
deputy.

But it would be a big mistake to let Iraq
block our vision. Many other developments

Some are opportunities. Unfortunately,
others are threats that could thrust us into
new crises.
My list of opportunities may strike some
as naively hopeful. And at the risk of scaring the heck out of you, I have drawn my
list of threats at their darkest. But they are
all real.

The threats:
North Korea goes boom. Negotiations on
North Korea's nuclear weapons program
collapse in the spring when the United
States demands full dismantling as a first,
non-negotiable step. China denounces the
United States for the handling of the talks
and refuses to join in imposing a total economic embargo. North Korea celebrates the
anniversary of the Korean War later in the
summer by testing a nuclear weapon.
Taiwan tensions. Taiwanese nationalist
Chen Shui-bian wins re-election as president in March and a simultaneous referendum reveals strong anti-ehinese feeling on
the island. China, which had hoped for
Chen's defeat, mobilizes its armed forces,
charging that Chen is leading Taiwan to

In his first months on ~he job, Bohn has ~~stored confidence in athietics .
By
MICHAEL KLiTZING
SPORTS EDITOR
n the political arena, the early
measure of an officeholder's
performance often is done after
his or her first 100 days. Such an
evaluation can also extend to the
athletic arenaas well, particularly
when dealing with the athletic
director of a Division I university
- no strangers to the political
realm.
For San Diego State athletics
director Mike Bohn, that day will
be this Sunday. On Oct. 17,2003,
Bohn took over an athletics program coming off its darkest hour.
A series of disgraces within the
department - NCAA violations
and an embarrassing California
I
~tate University theft investigation - brought ~n the departure
of former A.D. Rick Bay, and the
wounds were even deeper
beneath. the surface.
Within the department, there
was a great deal of apprehension
about the future. Out in the community, there was a growing negative perception of the SDSU athletics program.
In Bahn's short time on the job,
he believes that climate has
changed.
"There hasn't really been a
feeling of acclimation, but rather a
sense of optimism and excitement
that so many things are moving in
the right direction," Bahn said.
"I'm hopeful this wave of positive
energy and forward movement
continues as long as possible. All
the constituent groups on campus
have b~n incredibly engaging
and passionate not only in restoring confidence in program, but
~g ways to our teams.
'Vrrtually every group that is
involved in us having a viable
program is excited about what
we're trying to do." .
When he took the cominand of
the wayward Aztec ship, the former University of Idaho A.D. did
so with some clear cut goals in
mind for the near future. He
wanted to restore the public's
~th in the embattled program,
and he wanted to create greater
lines of communication within the
department itself.
By most accounts, those goals
have been accomplished.

lacked the panache that Stokes'
has.
Both players excelled on the
floor for SDSU, but neither had
that certain quality that makes
Stokes stand out. '
Other Aztecs believe Stokes'
flavor ups their games as well."
Sharper and Slaughter are two
younge and quieter teammates
of Stokes. They both credit him
for helping improve not only
their performance ---: but, also
their mentality.
,
,
"Wesley brings the confidence out, of everypne,"
Slaughter said. "When he
drives the lane, .we know he'll
make a play. When he pa!lses
me the ball, it makes me feel
like he believes in me."
.
Ironically, Stokes' gaudiness
meshes well with Fisher's stoicism. While Fisher has tried to
curb Stokes' "it" fac'tor, he uses
the point guard as an extension
of him on the court.
Fisher will allow him one
game to unleash his flowing
afro, but in the meantime,
Stokes will get to reveal "it"·
only in games.
