Students, Faculty Discuss The Fate of Ethnic Studies Faculty Members Hold Meetings With Students To Discuss the Proposed Consolidation of Majors by Mary Susman Contributing Writer

Future of Child Care Still Uncertain by Soumya Karlamangla Contributing Writer

Officials in the Berkeley Unified School District have described this year’s proposed state budget cuts as “an exercise in torment,” “not friendly to education” and “darn near criminal.” These cuts, however, may prove friendlier to the district than the California state budget impasse itself — the longest in state history — that lasted 99 days, ending Oct. 8. In August, as the beginning of the school year approached and the state budget remained unapproved, districts had to decide how to preserve state-subsidized child care pro-

grams even while it remained unclear whether the final budget would account for them. Gov. Schwarzenegger’s May budget revision would have removed child care funding for 220,000 kids statewide, according to Rachel Ehlers, principal fiscal and policy analyst with the California Legislative Analyst’s Office. While the state budget process dragged on, districts were forced to shrink the threatened programs to a size that could be funded with their cash reserves. The Berkeley Unified School District, for example, cut its child care program for low-income families — Berkeley’s Excellent Academic Road to Success — by 75 percent at the beginning of the school

year, dropping the number of students served from 300 to 70 and forcing the district to lay off 10 teachers and four instructional assistants who worked within the program. The final budget as approved Oct. 8 should presumably allow the district to rehire the teachers it let go. But if the families pushed out of the BEARS program — which is free for parents whose income level is 40 percent below the state median income — do not want to return in the middle of the year, the district may not be able to rehire everyone, district officials said. Because state child care funding is awarded through a contract requiring

Students and faculty in the UC Berkeley Ethnic Studies Department are working to open dialogue and reduce tensions after a recommendation from an external review committee to consolidate three of the department’s majors into one comparative ethnic studies major has drawn significant anxiety among students over the past few weeks. Faculty members from each of the four majors in the department, which also includes an ethnic studies major, held meetings in the past two weeks to discuss the committee’s recommendations — affecting Asian American studies, Chicano/Latino studies and Native American studies — with students and answer questions. The fourth meeting was held Thursday in Barrows Hall, with approximately 10 students and six faculty members in attendance. Students held an additional meeting Wednesday night in preparation for Thursday’s meeting. While students entered Thursday’s meeting prepared to assert their opposition to the consolidation recommendation, both students and faculty felt satisfied after the meeting’s conclusion. “I think it was really productive and it definitely ended on a very positive note,” said UC Berkeley senior Ruben Canedo, an ethnic studies and social welfare double major who facilitated the student meeting. Thursday’s meeting resulted in an agreement to have another meeting in the middle of November for faculty members to listen to students’ concerns and recommendations to improve the department, according to Thomas Biolsi, chair of the ethnic

UCPD officers arrested a man Thursday afternoon on suspicion of disguising himself as a female and taking pictures of women in a UC Berkeley Recreational Sports Facility locker room on two separate incidents Oct. 4 and Oct. 6. Gregorio Hernandez, 29, was arrested at 1:58 p.m. in the Martin Luther King Junior Student Union building on campus after a warrant was issued Thursday morning, according to UCPD Lt. Alex Yao, who added that Hernandez is not affiliated with the university. Hernandez was charged with two separate counts of disorderly conduct

and turned over to the Berkeley Police Department, according to Yao. Yao said that to his knowledge, the suspect did not resist arrest and added that the department is not releasing further information regarding the investigation or suspect because the investigation is active and ongoing. Though Yao said the suspect appeared to be taking pictures with his cell phone while in the locker room on one occasion, neither charge mentions photographing. In an interview on Oct. 12, Yao also said the suspect — in the first incident wearing a costume including large, dark sunglasses, sweatpants with rolled-up legs, and curly shoulderlength black hair believed to be a wig, and wearing workout clothes and a wig in the second incident — fled after facility staff members confronted him in the locker room, which is located behind a security gate and turnstiles. UCPD officers searched for the suspect unsuccessfully after each incident,

studies department and professor of Native American studies. After consulting with graduate and undergraduate students, faculty members will report their decisions stemming from the recommendations to the campus administration in May, Biolsi said. They may not make decisions on some recommendations until next year. According to Keith Feldman, assistant professor of ethnic studies and facilitator of Thursday’s meeting, the faculty has yet to discuss any of the recommendations. They plan to sit down together Nov. 1. In the report, the department was also encouraged to enhance the majors’ field study requirement and increase faculty involvement with students. Although the faculty members will not make any guarantees over potential changes to the department’s structure, Feldman said students should “absolutely not” be worried. “(The consolidation recommendation) is essentially dead in the water as far as the faculty is concerned, although I don’t want to put words in their mouth,” Biolsi said. According to Biolsi, much of the student concern is because of the circulation of misinformation. The recommendations are meant for the department to give “more students more value for their tuition money,” he said. The department plans to add three new faculty members within the next two years. This expansion, which was authorized by the administration before the report was released, comes after the loss of six faculty members to retirement and death over the past 10 years, Biolsi said. While students remain unclear about the future of the department, Canedo said he welcomed communication between faculty and students. “The ethnic studies department is near and dear to my heart, and I want what’s best for it,” Canedo said.

CHILD CARE : Oakland Programs Also Struggling from front

districts to enroll a certain number of students in their programs, the district may not be able to reach designated levels and rehire teachers it was forced to lay off. Zachary Pless, district supervisor for extended learning programs, said he is fearful the disruption caused by the budget impasse may have substantial effects on rebuilding BEARS but that closing it was the only option when the promise of state funding was uncertain. “We couldn’t keep all the doors open — we simply couldn’t,” he said. “We didn’t have all the money to do it.” He said the district is now asking families who no longer use BEARS if they want to return to the program in the hopes of reopening classrooms beginning Nov. 1. “It depends a lot on the families,” Pless said. “Some of them might be really happy where they are, or they may be desperate to come back.” Most of the 230 students BEARS could no longer support were absorbed into the district’s other after-school child care program, which is not subsidized by the state. Families pay a fee based on monthly income levels — about $50 a month for a BEARS-qualified family — to use the alternate program, according to Pless, so many of those families would probably want to switch back to BEARS to get rid of the added expense. At LeConte Elementary School — one of the five school sites where the BEARS program was closed — 43 students were displaced and joined the district’s unsubsidized after-school program, according to Charity DaMarto, after-school coordinator for the school. She said the BEARS families are satisfied with the change but may

be willing to switch back. “The BEARS program families would want to go back because (only BEARS offers care during) spring break, winter break and summer break — it’s really a struggle for families otherwise,” DaMarto said. “That will be the decision-maker.” The district will then rehire teachers depending on how many students return to the BEARS program. Although some teachers will be rehired, they may not get the same position in the same program, according to Cathy Campbell, president of Berkeley Federation of Teachers. “If the BEARS program is expanded from its current really shrunken form ... it might actually be a current preschool teacher that’s next on the seniority list,” she said. The Oakland Unified School District faces similar challenges in reconstructing its low-income child care program following cuts made at seven school sites. “The shuffling around of students has created less demand for enrollment, so it’s going to be significantly more challenging to get all the money we could receive,” said Troy Flint, spokesperson for the Oakland district. “While our eligibility for funding has been fully restored, it’s not clear if we will receive all those funds.” Flint said the district is looking to rehire the teachers that were laid off, but it is not a “lock-solid guarantee” because the district may not be able to enroll as many students as it had before the budget crisis. “I’m reasonably confident we will be able to restore (the programs), but I don’t think it’s going to occur as quickly as anyone would like,” he said.

Berkeley-Based Online Activism Tool ‘Causes’ Plans Expansion by Nina Brown Contributing Writer

After raising tens of millions in financing since 2007, Berkeley-based Causes — the company behind the Facebook application and online activism tool of the same name and an important figure in the local nonprofit community — will soon relocate to San Francisco as it seeks to broaden its scope. Since its founding three years ago, Causes has grown immensely, raising over $16 million, according to major media outlets. Over 100 million people now use the application, said Joe Green, Causes co-founder and president, and about $27 million has been donated to various organizations through the application, according to the company’s website. Founded by Green — a former grassroots organizer and college roommate of Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg — and Sean Parker, cofounder of Napster and former Facebook president, Causes combines philanthropy with the efficiency of social networking. Although the company currently consists of a team of 16 employees, Green said in many ways Causes — the 45th most trafficked site in the U.S., he said — is no longer a small business. The company will expand further with the release of its own website and the premier of a Causes in-store charity gift card, Causes Office Manager Sydney Fleischer said in an e-mail. By giving nonprofits access to such a large online community, Fleischer said,

Man Arrested in Connection With Two Incidents by Jasmine Mausner Contributing Writer

Officers from the Berkeley Police Department arrested one man in connection with two separate incidents that occured on Southside Wednesday night after the suspect allegedly brandished a knife at a Berkeley resident and later resisted arrest following a fight. At approximately 8:46 p.m., Ruben Sigala, a 19-year-old Alameda resident, refused to leave the lawn of the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity house on Chan-

ning Way after being asked to leave by one of the residents. When more residents of the fraternity house came outside, Sigala stepped back, allegedly pulled out a switchblade knife and reportedly said, “OK, let’s do this,” while pointing the knife at the group, according to Berkeley police Sgt. Mary Kusmiss. She said the resident who had first asked the suspect to leave immediately called 911 to report what he said was a seemingly intoxicated male. Sigala began to walk away from the house, and the

resident followed him at a safe distance but lost him before the police arrived. After leaving the fraternity house, Sigala was found at Durant and Telegraph avenues at around 11:52 p.m. by officers responding to a 911 call regarding a fight. Kusmiss said that as officers tried to detain Sigala, who was bleeding from his face and nose, he allegedly yelled and charged at the officers. “The suspect, then in the presence of the officers, ripped off his shirt and continued to walk toward them,” she said.

Causes is bringing these businesses into the age of social media by allowing them to interact with their supporters and create custom fundraising projects that demonstrate to people what they can help accomplish. “For us, to be able to raise $4,000 like that virtually is great,” said Yalda Modabber, executive director of Berkeley-based nonprofit Golestan Center for Language Immersion and Cultural Education. “We’ve received donations from over 300 people on Facebook, and those aren’t the same people donating to us offline.” Causes contributes to Berkeley’s local community by hosting events for area nonprofits and advising them on how to use social media to raise money. The company sublets offices in its building “quite cheaply” to local nonprofits as well, Green said. The company also has a presence on the UC Berkeley campus, where team members have spoken in classes, Fleischer said in the e-mail, adding that an alumnus working for the company is planning a hack-a-thon for students. Three members of the Causes team, including Chief Technologist Jimmy Kittiyachavalit and engineer Jay Adkisson, are campus alumni. Green attributes Causes’ success to its large, centralized audience built around charity and activism. “How do you build movements of people? It happens through peoples’ friends,” he said. “What gets them to actually show up is that their friends are going to be there.” Contact Nina Brown at nbrown@dailycal.org.

OPINION & NEWS The Daily Californian

Opposing the Offensive

I

think that the word “offense” is obsolete in the English language. All it does, I would argue, is unnecessarily escalate problems, many of which would otherwise be easily solvable. This isn’t to say that I advocate spineless acquiescence to the whims of others. Rather, I oppose the personal element of offense and the reactionary element that often comes with it. Indeed, I would say that taking offense is a very self-oriented thing to do. It is often founded in a narrow perspective focused on the individual’s situation and precious little else. Sometimes it features a refusal to consider possible alternatives and views, and occasionally it stems from the degradation of a wider issue to a personal level based on unique circumstance. Offense, to summarize, can often fail to see or acknowledge the existence of the bigger picture. Equally often though, offense is rooted in global standards. Whatever its origins, offense is legitimized by the “rightness” of the offended’s motivation. For example, if someone were to call you stingy, and you were to be offended on the grounds that it was factually untrue, this would be justified. Political correctness institutionalizes these rules for interaction. However, I would claim that even in the above situation, subjective offense and, more specifically, the declaration of offense, are not necessary in the context of healthy public debate. Admittedly, on a personal level, voicing offense can be justified — after all, relationships go nowhere with a backlog of suppressed antagonism attached. However, in the public arena, by escalating situations through hysterical accusations and howls of criticism, offended parties can create a fog of war that obscures the facts and creates vicious partisanship. Opposition, on the other hand, is perfectly valid, productive and worthwhile. It is based not on personal issues but on something broader: perceptions of universal right and wrong, for example. Opposition does not carry the bitterness of a reaction to a personal insult and as a result is more level-headed and open-minded. In contrast to the hazy escalation that can be caused by publicizing offense, voicing one’s opposition can stimulate debate and ultimately the constructive evolution of ideas and consensus. This is the crux of my opposition to offense: voicing offense is unproductive and often negative compared to the progressive, more diplomatic voicing of opposition on objective grounds. In fact, far beyond being unproductive, vocalizing offense can actually block and stagnate public discourse in its reactionary closed-mindedness. The political world is full of examples, perhaps the most contemporary, relevant and sensitive of which is the Ground Zero Mosque, also known as Park51, debate. earing this in mind, I do not discuss it with the intention to offend. Such is the political escalation that the notion of “offense” can inject onto a situation. Sarah Palin had only to tweet

B

MAX JOHNSON “Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real” to know that supporters would flock to her side. Let me make it absolutely clear at this stage that I believe that the memory of those who died in the 9/11 attacks should be wholly respected, whatever happens in the area surrounding Ground Zero. However, I believe that to effectively manage the situation, one has to transcend the individual costs of the catastrophe. Not to ignore them, but to look at them in the larger context of the event as a brutal terrorist attack against the American way of life. This is a way of life that, among its foremost principles, includes equality of man, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the right to private property. ow, if the mosque were built near the 9/11 site, it would fully endorse these principles. It would embrace diversity in a way that the executors of 9/11 are far too weak to replicate. For this reason, this is precisely the thing that Manhattan should allow to happen. The building of Park51 would show that America is not going to allow itself to be scared into reactionary panic but is instead going to strengthen the very qualities the terrorist attacks sought to destroy. I oppose those who take offense at the notion of the Park51 mosque because I believe their offense to be too small-scale and too focused on individuals over the larger-scale objective context. If those opponents of Park51 were just that — opponents — then their views would not be distorted by (understandable and justifiable) subjective emotion. In short, although politicians should strive to prevent further emotional turmoil, they should do so in a more reasoned and less reactive manner. Blocking the construction of Park51 would cause religious tension, not cooperation, and would endorse narrow perspectives as a means of legitimizing policies. This is a difficult growing process for America. Some of us may wish these developments were not coming through at all, but come through they must. The benefits will be felt in the long run, and resistance will only cause future pain.

PUMP: System Can Remove Water During Floods from front

such as an earthquake — compromises the city’s primary water source, its fire hydrant system, department and city officials said at the demonstration. “It’s an ideal technology for the topography of Berkeley,” Fire Chief Debra Pryor said. “If catastrophic damage occurs, we have a backup water supply, an alternative means of suppressing fires.” According to Johan Kramer, sales manager for Hytrans Systems, the system is more efficient than conventional methods of pumping water because it does not rely on “drafting,” a process of sucking water out of a source that wastes up to 70 percent of a pump’s capacity. The Hytrans system — which can be used to remove water during flood emergencies as well as pump water to extinguish fires — is capable of pushing out 200 pounds

of water per square inch. Because the system is mobile and can deploy six miles of hose, firefighters can protect residences as far away from the San Francisco Bay as the Berkeley Hills. If an emergency occurs, the system can be operational in approximately 30 minutes, Kramer said. Deputy Fire Chief Gilbert Dong said that past Bay Area earthquakes, such as the one in San Francisco in 1989, have demonstrated that water supply losses — which the new technology guards against — can be very destructive. “This is what we need to ensure our safety,” he said. The Hytrans system was paid for by bond money from Measure Q, which Berkeley voters approved in 2000, allotting $9.6 million toward increasing the city’s disaster-preparedness. According to David Orth, former depu-

Temper That Tantrum CITY AFFAIRS

The confrontation between officials that allegedly ended in assault reveals utterly ridiculous behavior from city leaders.

W

hile many compare politics to pageantry, and candidates often exchange rhetorical blows, actual fighting cannot be considered a normal part of any race. Incredibly, a recent confrontation between former District 4 councilmember candidate Eric Panzer and incumbent Jesse Arreguin's chief of staff, Anthony Sanchez, ended in alleged assault. The incident cannot be described as anything but ridiculous and is a sad commentary on Berkeley’s political scene. Panzer was holding a sign supporting Measure R at Sunday’s Spice of Life Festival, which he carried over to a No on Measure R booth where Sanchez and Arreguin were located. Sanchez approached Panzer and the two exchanged words before Sanchez allegedly tore the sign from the former’s hands. A preexisting wound Panzer had on his hand was reportedly reopened, causing him to bleed. Sanchez and Arreguin left the festival before four officers from the Berkeley Police Department arrived on the scene. The confrontation is bad enough, yet the subsequent and contradicto-

ry accounts of it make the whole affair that much worse. It is preposterous that Panzer equates a reopened cut to assault, even if he claims that Sanchez’s alleged actions were unprovoked. Arreguin and Sanchez say that Panzer was aggressive and threatening, respectively. Yet neither stayed to deal with the aftermath, even though one was accused and the other was a witness. The situation as a whole was entirely unprofessional, petty and even clownish. While this is an isolated incident, it should have never happened in the first place. Sadly, this is not the first occurrence of physical altercation even this year. Last spring, Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates pushed a protester away at an advisory meeting. Like last Sunday’s, the incident occurred at a public city event. All of these individuals are supposed to present themselves as civilized and rational officials, not 12-year-olds throwing tantrums at recess. With differing accounts of what actually occurred, only one thing is clear: This behavior is unacceptable for anyone in the Berkeley community, let alone its leaders.

Investigate Research CAMPUS ISSUES

The recent report on UC Berkeley’s partnership with BP is problematic but sparks important dialogue on the issue.

S

keptics have consistently worried that UC Berkeley’s partnership with British Petroleum is a slippery slope to biased research ever since the campus won part of a $500 million grant from the company in 2007. Now, at least one independent researcher’s report claims that BP’s interests have indeed spilled over to compromise the credibility of the campus. Jennifer Washburn investigated 10 collaboration contracts between leading energy companies and universities. Her findings yielded several conclusions after examining this specific campus, including the belief that BP will “exert excessive influence over UC Berkeley’s research portfolio” and that language in the contract between the two institutions is troubling. While this concern is legitimate, we disagree with the report’s seemingly logical leap. Just because the campus could be influenced as a result of contract wording does not mean that it must be happening. Washburn’s presented evidence is not concrete enough to convince us that BP is affecting research.

Furthermore, it is unlikely that UC Berkeley would turn down the millions of dollars from BP’s grant. Public funds continue to fall short of expectations — the university as a whole received roughly $600 million less from the state than the projected need for this fiscal year. We realize that public money and private grants are not interchangeable sources of fiscal support, and BP’s contribution would not likely be replaced by any other source of funding. Still, this report illuminates the need to revisit deals like the one the campus has with BP so that these agreements can be more acceptable and address critics’ fears. We also hope that other investigations will be conducted to uncover more conclusive data, if it exists. The campus community deserves to know if and how research is being affected. Additionally, the fact that the report spurred the campus to issue an eight-page rebuttal is an entirely positive result of her investigation. More transparency is needed from the campus on its partnership with BP, and Washburn’s efforts reflect a need for vigilance in this issue.

UC Investments Need Better Oversight Students and Other Stakeholders Should Force the University to Be Accountable in Its Investments by Farrah Moos If money talks, then we need to tell it what to say. The recent New York Times article “UC Proxy Voting Skirts Review Guidelines, Documents Show” should sound the alarm for students and other stakeholders. Research confirmed that companies hired by the Treasurer’s office voted hundreds of times against shareholder resolutions that promote the social and environmental advancement that students in the UC have historically fought for and led. With a portfolio valued at over $55 billion, a greater amount than the annual GDPs of 136 countries, the University clearly speaks for us as University students, faculty, staff and taxpayers when it takes stances on shareholder resolutions. However, because we are silent, the UC is able, through its investment power, to resoundingly endorse company policies that harm the environment, preserve shameful corporate practices and fail to protect human rights. While it may be impossible to scrutinize the specific activities of every company the UC invests in, proxy voting presents the unique opportunity for us to assert our collective social values and

use our position as shareholders to encourage corporations to reduce financial risk, protect the environment and honor human rights. In other words, we can and must vote in accordance with the social consciousness that is consistent with our mission. The New York Times article includes a quote from UC Davis law professor Thomas Joo, who argues that the financial security interests of retirement beneficiaries outweigh social responsibility. I would argue that this demonstrates a near-sighted vision and interpretation of investment. As an investor, one looks to manage risk. By encouraging the companies we invest in to adopt policies that take into account factors such as global warming and sustainability, we guide them to manage risk and enhance their future endeavors. “The beneficiaries” (faculty and staff) of the retirement fund will in fact find their pensions more financially secure in the long-term. Furthermore, it seems that we are at odds with our own UC employees who are teaching, researching and working in service of the many positive social causes that lead us to a more just world. Exercising our proxy voting power in a socially conscious way would be supported by UC employees on both

moral and financial grounds. Demanding a change in proxy voting practice is not only necessary but also is well within our rights as students. Our fees go into the retirement pool each year, and, as stakeholders, we must demand accountability. The University’s proxy voting policies and actions reflect on us and on the people of California. We cannot let our forward-thinking academics, research, advocacy and other efforts be invalidated and undermined through the negligence of the Regents in adhering to their own proxy voting guidelines. We must demand the Regents pay attention to this issue, especially as they raise our fees to help finance these investments. As a member of UC for Responsible Investment Coalition (UC RIC), I urge you to raise your voice. Write a letter to the Regents demanding that they adopt a Committee on Investor Responsibility to ensure that we follow our own proxy-voting guidelines. Advocate to keep the Treasurer’s office accountable through promoting student perspective in the Investments Committee. Let us not accept that the UC name and investment portfolio are being used to support positions that are neither in the UC’s nor the global community’s best interest. Farrah Moos is an ASUC senator and a member of UC RIC. Reply to opinion@dailycal.org.

Bears Looking to Rebound After Crushing USC Defeat Staying Home Is Cal’s Best Medicine

by Jack Wang

Daily Cal Staff Writer Last Saturday, the Cal football team walked dejectedly out of the tunnel of the L.A. Coliseum, its 48-14 loss to USC still fresh and raw. Walking with the Bears were the Trojans, bathing in the cheers of their home crowd. One team had just erased the memory of its first losing streak in 10 years. The other, still trying futilely to forget the worst halftime deficit in school history. Heading into Saturday’s game against Arizona State, Cal (3-3, 1-2 in the Pac-10) is threatening to finish with the lowest mark of coach Jeff Tedford’s tenure. The Pac-10 is now arguably the top conference in the country, and a stiff upcoming schedule provides little room for error. As the Bears step back into Memorial Stadium this weekend, most will likely sense the urgency. “Yeah, I feel that way,” senior safety Chris Conte said. “Every game in the Pac-10’s rough and it can kind of go either way. There’s no guaranteed wins. We’re not going to have another game where we blow a team out like UC Davis or Colorado ... Every game’s going to be rough.” The Bears totaled an astounding 104-10 point differential through those first two home games, romping over the hapless Aggies and Buffaloes to raise the hopes for a little-hyped season. It’s been quite a turnaround since then. Cal’s conference-best defense was violated by the Trojans. Quarterback Matt Barkley gave a Heisman-worthy performance, throwing five touchdowns in the first half to tie a program record. USC totaled an all-too-easy 602 offensive yards that day — the most given up by a Bears squad since 2001. “That wasn’t who feel like we are ... I would say that’s a bad game that we had,” Conte said. “It really was just a combination of various things that kind of built up and amounted to, overall, just not a good performance.” Within the friendlier confines of Strawberry Canyon, the Bears will have

Defensive end Cameron Jordan has registered three sacks on the year, trailing only team leader Mychal Kendricks by 1.5 sacks. ample opportunity to prove it. The Sun Devils (3-3, 1-2) have exceeded preseason expectations, but have suffered through heartbreaking losses of their own. They dropped three straight by a total of 15 points — including losses to No. 10 Wisconsin and top-ranked Oregon — before mustering a 24-14 win over Washington two weeks ago. Newly hired coordinator Noel Mazzone has revamped the team’s offense, increased the team’s use of the no-huddle and spread to jump-starting its passing attack to second in the Pac-10 — up five spots from 2009.

Still, it’s fair to say that results have been somewhat mixed. Although quarterback Steven Threet leads the Pac-10 in passing yards per game, he’s matched his 11 touchdowns with a conferencehigh 11 interceptions. Kevin Riley, who has thrown an equal number of scores this season, will be starting for Cal as Threet’s counterpart. Tedford stressed that the fifthyear senior will retain his job for the rest of the year unless he gets injured. Riley likely won’t face a defense as brutal as the one he saw last Saturday, but there’s one player he will have to

Bears to Join Pac-10 North, Still to Face L.A. Squads

First Place in Pac-10 on the Line In Matchup of Bay Area Rivals

by Jack Wang

SAN FRANCISCO — A large, colorcoded map was propped up next to Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott during Thursday’s press conference at the Fairmont Hotel. Cal and Stanford were backed by blue, marked as part of the Pac-12 North. USC and UCLA floated over the gray of the Pac-12 South. Scott and Michael Crow, Arizona State president and chair of the Pac-10 CEO group, announced the future alignment of the Pac-12, effective July 1, 2011. University presidents and chancellors voted unanimously for the geographical split over what Scott said were about half a dozen other plans — a decision based primarily on preserving traditional rivalries, along with balancing competitiveness, fan-friendliness and geography. “Our ambition is to really broaden the following of this conference on a much more national basis and even global basis,” Scott said. “Top of mind for us in thinking about how to create these divisions, how to label them, was simplicity.” Under the new schedule, both Cal and Stanford will be guaranteed annual games with both Los Angeles schools. The Bears have played the Trojans every year since 1926, and the Bruins every year since 1933. The Northwest programs will visit Los Angeles once every other year. Every team will play five games against divisional opponents, along

keep an eye on: Vontaze Burfict. The sophomore linebacker has his own share of maturity issues — he headbutted Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz — but wields a frightening balance of power and speed. If Riley doesn’t end up getting YouTubed, he might get to relive the game-winning drive he led at Arizona State last season. “Hopefully, we have a lead before that,” he said.”

choo! Sorry about that. Cough cough. Sniffle sniffle. I apologize again. Just can’t shake off this bug that’s been going around, but it’s slowly dissipating. On Saturday, we’ll have to see if Cal’s sputtering condition subsides too — and you’d have to think of a whole new term for what ailed it at the Coliseum. The physical toll was unmistakable: Shane Vereen got his bell rung against the Trojans. Darian Hagan cramped up and required an IV. Chris Conte could barely walk the next morning. Then, there was the mental breakdowns. Bryan Anger’s leg and Marvin Jones’ hands were no longer automatic. Spencer Ladner’s hands never opened. And we haven’t even started on Cal’s severely wounded pride, still reeling from surrendering the largest halftime deficit in program history. Luckily, this weekend the Bears come home to Memorial Stadium for a traditionally fail-proof cure — Memorial Stadium. “It’s nice to be back home,” quarterback Kevin Riley said during Tuesday’s media press conference. “We’ve been getting on people early and that’s the plan, just get on people early and kind of make them play out of their game.” Indeed, it’s remarkable the kind of

Senior setter Carli Lloyd needs just two assists against Stanford on Friday night to become the second Bear and ninth Pac-10 player to reach the 5,000 mark in her career.

The Stanford volleyball team is 7-1 in the Pac-10. So is Cal. The Cardinal’s top outside hitter ranks in the nation’s top-five with over Cal five kills a set. So Volleyball does the Bears’. Stanford has the Pac-10’s best offense. WHAT: Cal has the best Cal takes defense. vs However, even on the with their uncannily Card in equal statistics, only the Big one squad will be Spike tonight. ranked first in the WHEN/WHERE: Pac-10 after tonight’s 7 p.m., Big Spike at Maples Pavilion Maples Pavilion in at 7 p.m. Stanford, Calif. “How can you script this better? Playing our crosstown, biggest rival ... It just couldn’t be better. I love it. I’m anxious,” Bears’ coach Rich Feller said. “It’s historic — I don’t think we’ve ever been first place, maybe ever, after three or four of the first matches.” No. 5 Cal will go up against the conference’s most potent offensive weapon, Alix Klineman, varying offensive styles and a front line that is probably the tallest in the country — all reasons why Feller considers the Cardinal (16-1) to be the nation’s best team. No. 2 Stanford’s offensive attack revolves around its all-world outside hitter Klineman. With a deadly combination of range, power and experience, the 6-foot-4 senior hits for a ridiculous .397 percentage and averages a whopping 5.76 kills per set; that’s only one kill fewer than some teams average. According to senior defensive spe-

cialist Meagan Schmitt, players from the Cal men’s team hit against the Bears (17-1) in practice to simulate big opposing hitters, so she thinks the squad will be prepared for Klineman. Feller isn’t sure that will make much of a difference. “I’m pretty sure you can’t stop her,” Feller said. “Slowing her down, no one’s done it yet.” If anybody is going to do it, then it’s the Bears. They rank second in the country in blocking, and boast the Pac-10’s two most prolific blockers in middle hitters Kat Brown and Shannon Hawari. Feller plans to send his two star sophomores to Klineman’s side. Aside from defending Klineman, Cal will also have to contend with a Cardinal offense that changes mid-match. “Because they’ve got the size, they can run high and slow if they want,” Feller said. “Or because they’ve got the athletes and the experience, they can run fast and low if they want.” Not that things will be any easier on the other side of the net. All of Stanford’s blockers measure over 6-feet tall, its tallest topping out at 6-foot-6. The squad also boasts three back row defensive players that could be “liberos on many teams in the country,” according to Feller. The rivalry match has a lot of hype for a reason, but the Bears care more about their Pac-10 standing when conference season ends than just one game. That being said, they wouldn’t mind winning both. “It’s great to win right now and be in first place, but it’s even better to be in first place at the end of the season,” Brown said. “So it’d be great if we can win and be in first place now and then just stay there.” Jonathan Kuperberg covers volleyball.
