Tolman Hall ‘poor’ seismic rating sparks tension

By Noah Kulwin | Staff nkulwin@dailycal.org The removal of classes and student activities from Tolman Hall — which occurred July 15 — due to the building’s “poor” seismic rating has been the source of recent tension between campus administration and faculty members with offices still in the building.

Located at the northwestern-most corner of campus, Tolman Hall is home to the offices of the campus Department of Psychology and Graduate School of Education. The structure also houses the Education Psychology Library and 13 general assignment classrooms — rooms reserved for sections that do not have offices in Tolman Hall.

The building’s “poor” seismic rating ranks only one above the lowest of four possible ratings from a 1997 survey that started the UC Berkeley SAFER program — a campuswide initiative to retrofit or replace 75 percent of the buildings on campus, which were found to have seismic ratings of “poor” or “very poor.”

Since then, 75 percent of the buildings targeted for renovation or replacement have projects underway or have improved their seismic ratings, according to the program’s website. Eliminating classes in general assignment classrooms is part of an incremental effort to reduce the traffic of students and faculty in buildings with lower seismic ratings.

The removal of classes from general assignment classrooms was discussed in a recent memo sent by Catherine Koshland, vice provost of teaching, learning, academic planning and facilities, to deans and chairs of departments housed in Tolman Hall. The memo states that the decision was made to move people out of the building “to the greatest extent possible.”

“It is our intention that moving Tolman Hall’s (general assignment) classes to other locations on campus will be the first increment of an effort to move the building’s departments and programs to other appropriate campus locations,” Koshland said in the

memo. “Finding enough alternative space to accommodate all programs and activities now occupying Tolman will be a challenge.”

The “alternative space” discussed in Koshland’s memo is only one of several areas of concern for staff members — academic and nonacademic — whose offices are in the building. Campus education professor Dan Perlstein said he still “has questions about our continued presence in a building that the university deems unsafe.”

“I understand that the university limits its liability, but once you’ve identified that, to leave some offices there seems odd,” Perlstein said. “It’s also a kind of strange calculus of who’s worth what.”

Koshland rejected the idea that the Tolman Hall staff members were being singled out, saying that “their risk is not any different from other people whose buildings are rated poor. They are not being discriminated against.”

“The first thing ... everyone has to remember is that the seismic status of that building is no different today than it was since 1997,” Koshland said. “Remember what we have been trying to do as a campus … to address the seismic situation.”

Nonetheless, staff in Tolman Hall remain apprehensive. One staff member, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, said the administration has opened themselves up “morally ... and legally, probably.”

“They said ‘why are you all of a sudden panicking? Because you have always been in this crappy building and told that it was rated poorly,’” the staff member said. “Well, now they are pulling people out, so that creates a different kind of division among those who have a right to be safe and those who do not ... I don’t see how they can get around that, I mean morally.”

Psychology Department Chair Richard Ivry — whose department’s offices are located in Tolman Hall — draws a somewhat different conclusion. He said he believes that removing students “is the sensible thing to do.”

“However ... it’s somewhat discouraging to those of us still in Tolman,” Ivry said. “It may be a slow process to replace Tolman. It is going to remain a risky situation.”

Tolman Hall, located at the northwest corner of UC Berkeley’s campus, received a rating of “poor” in a 1997 seismic safety survey, which has generated concern among those with offices in the building.

Audit of UC calls for more financial transparency I-House Cafe Distribution of UC General Funds and Tuition per Student

By Allie Bidwell | Senior Staff abidwell@dailycal.org A report issued by the California state auditor on Thursday suggested that the University of California should be more willing to make more of its financial information open to the public, though the report did not find cases of wasteful spending, as had been previously suggested by a state lawmaker.

The audit began last year following a request from state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, who had alleged that the university was plagued with “waste, fraud and abuse.”

“The UC administration expects taxpayers and students to foot the bill without asking any questions,” Yee said in a statement when the audit was approved in February 2010. “It is long overdue for the UC administration to start acting like a public institution and not a private country club.”

Though the audit did not find excessive spending on the part of the university, it did find a “lack of PERSIA SALEHI/STAFF

Layoff policy could consider performance

By Tiffany Chiao | Staff tchiao@dailycal.org Several amendments to a University of California employee policy were proposed by the UC Office of the President and effectively released Monday, calling for consideration of performance when making decisions regarding layoffs and time reduction.

The proposed policy changes will allow employers throughout the UC to consider employees’ work performance instead of looking primarily at their seniority before making layoff decisions and will apply to non-unionrepresented professional and support staff, managers and supervisors, according to UC spokesperson Dianne Klein.

UCOP is seeking comments from employees regarding the proposed changes until Aug. 31. Though the policy only applies to nonrepresented employees, union members are encouraged to comment as well through their union representatives, according to Klein.

“Before, supervisors did not take performance into account in plans for layoff ... Now, we’re taking seniority and performance into account,” Klein said.

The previous version of the policy used seniority as the principal determinant for layoffs, with the exception of cases involving additional skills and abilities between employees of the same classification and salary, the policy states.

“Criteria for consideration when determining order of layoff must include relevant skills, knowledge and abilities, documented performance, and length of service,” the revised policy states.

Systemwide, the policy applies to approximately 71,900 employees, including around 62,600 professional and support staff and around 9,300 managers and supervisors, according to Klein.

According to Klein, the proposal was prompted by the current budget crisis in California and the impact it is having on the state’s public higher education institutions.

However, Klein added that no decisions have currently been made regarding actual layoffs and what the timing of layoffs would be.

“There have been no solid plans for layoffs, no numbers,” Klein said. “We’re just getting everything in order in case this becomes necessary, considering the university has financial problems.”

According to Klein, in response to budget cuts to the university and the possible layoffs that may be required

in order to offset cuts, UC Human Resources and Benefits, in conjunction with UC leadership, identified the policy adjustments as a potential step that could be taken.

“This policy provides direction and authority to effectuate indefinite and temporary layoffs and indefinite and temporary reductions in time when layoffs or reductions in time are necessary to support the University’s business needs,” the revised policy states.

According to Klein, the proposal is still under review. For any significant policy change, the law requires that revised policies be open to public commentary for 30 days, Klein said.

She added that all the responses are then looked over and may possibly be incorporated. Once further adjustments have been made during the internal review process, the final policy is ultimately approved or disapproved

by UC President Mark Yudof.

Klein said if the policy is approved, she would expect it to be implemented within the next few months, adding that the policy changes were not likely be met with much debate or concern.

“Clearly, we want this to take place,” she said. “It’s common sense. If you’re talking about getting the most efficient workforce, you’d want this tool at your disposal.”

AUDIT: Report finds ‘miscellaneous services’ account for $6 billion From front

Derrick Hill signs with hometown Raiders Derrick Hill got to play close to home when he came to Cal in 2006.

Now, he’ll fight for the chance to play even closer as a professional.

The Bears’ former nose tackle, who first played football at Oakland’s McClymonds High School, signed with the NFL’s Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent on Saturday.

Earlier reports originally had him linked him to the Baltimore Ravens.

Hill battled injuries throughout his

Cal career, but started in 27 games — recording 92 tackles, 11.5 tackles for a loss and four and half sacks.

His most memorable moment came during the Bears’ near-upset of No. 1 Oregon. Hill stripped Ducks quarterback Darron Thomas and recovered the ball in the end zone for his first career touchdown.

Hill is one of five undrafted Cal rookies to sign with an NFL team in the past week. ...

specificity” in the university’s expense records as well as a discrepancy in the distribution of funds to each campus.

The report states that through reviewing the university’s accounting records, the state auditor found that the UC Office of the President uses a single accounting code — “miscellaneous services” — to account for more than $6 billion, or about 25 percent, of the university’s annual public noncompensation expenses for the five years that the audit reviewed.

“This lack of specificity prohibits meaningful analysis of a significant portion of the university’s expenses at a systemwide level and limits the ability of stakeholders to understand how the university uses these funds,” the report states.

Additionally, the report found that there is a significant difference in the amount of funds distributed to each campus.

For the fiscal year 2009-10, for example, UC Santa Barbara received $12,309 per student while UC Berkeley received $17,010 per student and UC San Francisco received $55,186 per student.

“Although we understand that differences in funding among the campuses can exist because the (UC Office of the President) does not distribute all funding to campuses on a per-student basis ... we would expect that the university would be able to identify the

reasons for any differences and be able to quantify them,” the report states.

However, UC President Mark Yudof said in a letter to State Auditor Elaine Howle that the findings had no basis.

“The University adamantly disagrees with the (Bureau of State Audits’) analysis and comments inferring an inequitable distribution of funding across campuses,” Yudof said in the letter. “There is absolutely no basis — statistically, historically, or ethically — for drawing such a connection. Furthermore, the BSA makes no investigation into or observation of disproportionate or inequitable treatment or outcomes for students at different campuses.”

According to the report, UCOP provided four examples of factors that contributed to the differences: specific research and public service programs that are budgeted separately from instruction, the size of a campus’s health sciences program, historical variations in the amount of support provided for graduate students and historical variations in the level of state support.

“Although the Office of the President has taken steps to make its budget more transparent in recent years, it could do more to improve the transparency of the processes it uses to determine annual budget amounts for the campuses,” the report states.

Though the auditor’s office found

no evidence that the university considered the racial or ethnic makeup of the student populations at different campuses as part of its budget process, it did find that the four campuses with an above average percentage of students from “underrepresented” groups — UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara and UC Santa Cruz — received less funding than they would have if each campus received the same amount per student.

According to the report, because the per-student amounts vary so much between campuses and have not been quantitatively explained, UCOP runs the risk that stakeholders may view the amounts as unfair.

According to a UCOP statement, the university has been developing a more transparent funding streams initiative prior to the audit that is now being implemented. The office also launched a systemwide task force to examine the relationships among “campus instruction, research and public service programs, student populations, campus costs and the distribution of funds to campuses,” the statement reads.

“We are proud of the fact that we have come through this review with validation of so many of our procedures and policies ... But, at what cost?” Yudof said in the statement.

sex on monday

Knowledge is protection Verdict could come within one week

I

always hate researching STIs because it seems like half the information is rather slanted toward “if you ever have sex, you are going to get HIV and die!” Yes, STIs are a risk, but how much of one is really hard to pin down.

So I turned to the Internet and went research-crazy.

One thing I learned is that serial monogamy can be riskier than casual sex.

Now, this sounds a little off — fewer partners seems much safer.

The risk of serial monogamy is that the feelings of safety and comfort can settle over the relationship, leading to not using condoms.

I can hear the collected masses mentally screaming “But we got tested first!” Always a good idea, but just because you got a negative test, it doesn’t mean you don’t have an STI. It means that you didn’t have an STI as of one to three months ago.

It takes a while after exposure before an STI shows up on a test.

The two most common STIs show up in the shortest amount of time.

Gonorrhea takes two to seven days; chlamydia takes two to six weeks.

Less common STIs take even longer to show up. Syphilis takes up to three months, HIV and Hepatitis C up to six. They don’t even test for herpes unless you have symptoms.

Which means if you have a habit of monthlong “true love” relationships, you can be at a pretty high risk of infection without even knowing it.

I still don’t agree with the articles that say all couples ever everywhere should use condoms always, but it makes sense to have a deeper conversation than “you’re clean, right?” before going at it bareback.

Oral sex is another risk factor that is a little ambiguous.

Every single sex book and sex article says that best practice is to use condoms and dental dams during oral sex — I have yet to find a single person who has ever used a dental dam.

I wanted to know just how terribly irresponsible I, and everyone else, was being, so I started tracking down papers. onorrhea, that nasty bacteria, poses the greatest risk during oral sex. Both men and women can pass it on during oral. Luckily, gonorrhea is still curable, until the super bug from Japan makes its way across the ocean.

For other STIs, the risk is most often to the partner giving oral.

Honestly, it isn’t well known how high the risk is, but transmission is possible.

With all the wishy-washy data, I doubt that there is going to be a sudden spike of flavored condom and dental dam sales. But there are other less effective yet still important things to do in order to protect yourself.

Don’t brush your teeth or floss within a couple hours of giving oral.

By Jonathan Tam | Staff jtam@dailycal.org

Erica Chase sex@dailycal.org It opens up small cuts in your mouth, which means there are more routes to infection. Use mouthwash if you want that minty-fresh taste. peaking of taste, if something tastes off, stop. Maybe it’s just that “time for a shower” funk, but it’s not really worth risking.

If going down on a guy, taste isn’t going to be as much of an indication until it’s too late to do anything about it. Not having the guy ejaculate in your mouth lessens the risk.

Similarly, if anything looks off, back off. Sores can be signs of herpes or syphilis. They can also be signs of ingrown hairs (which can get pretty gnarly-looking), but best not risk it.

If everything looks clean, that still doesn’t mean there isn’t an infection.

People who have herpes shed the virus even when they don’t have sores.

Luckily, genital herpes prefers genital mucous membranes and isn’t likely to jump to the mouth. Likewise, oral herpes (aka cold sores) don’t commonly jump to the genitals.

Oral-genital transmission of herpes isn’t the main risk.

What it does mean, though, is that grinding without a condom is a terrible idea because herpes and syphilis can be transmitted through unprotected contact. Moreover, if you shave or wax your sexy bits, you are opening up microscopic pathways for the virus to jump over.

Suit up before any genital contact — it’s safer.

Sometimes, though, all the best practices are followed and what you end up with is a broken condom and dialog with a lot of four-letter words.

If this happens, immediately get in the shower and wash with soap and water. Normally, soap should never be used on a female’s genitals. But in this case, get in there with soap.

Washing off immediately can kill both herpes and syphilis. If there is cum inside you, there is no research into whether or not douching helps.

There is always a risk when it comes to sex, but it still isn’t something to be terrified of. Arm yourself with knowledge, follow best practices, get tested regularly and know what exactly the tests indicate.

And once you’ve laid the groundwork of safety, let go and enjoy yourself.

Following almost two years of detainment, UC Berkeley alumni Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer will receive their verdict from Iran’s Revolutionary Court within one week following their trial Sunday.

In the days leading up to the trial, local groups have been increasing efforts to advocate for the hikers’ release.

Fattal and Bauer’s hearing was delayed in May without any given explanation from Iranian authorities. Both are facing charges of illegally entering Iran and espionage, to which they have

pleaded not guilty.

In 2009, Bauer, Fattal and Bauer’s fiance, Sarah Shourd, were arrested

by Iranian officials for allegedly spying while hiking along the Iran-Iraq border.

Shourd said in a lecture at UC Berkeley in June that the three were hiking in the Kurdistan province of Iraq — an area frequented by tourists — when an Iranian soldier saw them and gestured for them to step off of their hiking trail. He then pointed to the trail and said “Iraq” and pointed to the spot where they now stood and said “Iran,” indicating that they had unknowingly crossed the border.

After discovering a lump in her

breast, Shourd was released on $500,000 bail in September 2010.

In Berkeley, students and community members have been increasing advocacy efforts as the day of the trial approaches.

On campus, the ASUC has been trying to garner student support for Fattal and Bauer’s release, according to Joey Freeman, ASUC External Affairs Vice President.

Freeman said he urges students to support the hikers’ safe return by joining the advocacy campaign called One Million Voices for Shane and Josh, which encourages supporters to send 1 million calls to the Interests Section of

Cafe: New management plans to adopt sustainable menu From Front petition to save I-House cafe and their jobs, which they perceived to be under threat. However, Bon Appetit has decided to keep the majority of former employees on board and is being more transparent with future cafe plans, according to Jason Landau, the general manager of Mills College Bon Appetit Services.

“That campaign was really gratifying in a way, because it showed how much people who use the cafe care about the place,” said Martin Brennan, executive director of I-House. “We had lots of emails, and we responded to each and every one — there was never any intention of closing the cafe.”

Mark Lewis, a former UC Berkeley student and cafe employee, said that he and other employees only found out changes were occurring at the cafe about three weeks ago when he spoke in passing with former cafe owner Sandy Boyd, who was driving on the street in front of I-House.

“We didn’t have any communication at all,” Lewis said. “The old manager only told me in passing that they decided not to renew the lease. We then decided to start a Facebook campaign and petition, because we didn’t know about our situation or if we would be hired back on.”

Some have said that miscommunication over the changes in the cafe administration may be connected to demonstrations at I-House in May where union workers and community members protested the workplace struggles of food service workers at the I-House dining commons.

However, Brennan said the two situations are independent, as the cafe operations are leased out, and only dining services are in-house.

“The dining services operations include catering and the dining hall where

we serve meals, which is a separate operation run by International House,” he said. “The difficulties that happened last May dealt with the fact that workers felt we needed more union-represented employees on staff.”

Though the Facebook “Save the International House” petition began in part because of a lack of communication between parties involved, Boyd — who also owns Berkeley coffee shop Cafe Milano — said that he also was not given enough information about the decision from the I-House administration.

Brennan said that although there had been a “harmonious relationship” with Boyd in the past, Bon Appetit was chosen because of its “innovative” plans for the cafe’s future.

“We looked at the bids and decided on Bon Appetit because they were very innovative for the kinds of things they wanted to do for foods, providing service and changing appearance,” Brennan said.

According to Lewis, Bon Appetit management said in a meeting with cafe employees that it is interested in creating a new sustainable menu and putting on different types of events. At the same time, they will try to maintain current cafe offerings, including allowing students to sit, study and mingle on the cafe terrace.

With 400 accounts nationwide, Bon Appetit is based on “farm scratch” cooking and purchases food from local farmers. The company will take over operations on Monday, but the cafe will be closed for two days for training and cleaning before its general opening on Aug. 3.

“The way that we prepare food will be dramatically different, since we do everything from scratch,” Landau said.

“Qualitywise, it will be a nice step up

The I-House Cafe is set to experience a change in management on Wednesday. for guests — from a cooking standpoint, we are looking at a tapas bar, with more international flavor and no hydrogenated oil, with minimal saturated and trans fat.”

Brennan added that Bon Appetit is committed to resident satisfaction and will work with the I-House administration to give patrons a comfortable place to eat and relax.

Lewis said he and fellow employees are just happy to have stable jobs and are finally able to look forward to the changes in store at the cafe.

“They have agreed to hire back on just about everybody who works here now,” he said. “All of us are pretty excited for what will come next — including the menu, because it has been the same for 10 years.”

A DREAM come true STATE ISSUES The passage of AB 130 is a victory for public education advocates and shows that California is still a national leader.

C

alifornia’s government has at times proven unfriendly to students, with drastic cuts to public education resulting in continuously rising student fees at all of California’s public universities. But on July 25, public education advocates and state officials alike were victorious in their efforts to make higher education more accessible when Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 130 — the first half of the California DREAM Act — into law.

With AB 130, California is once again leading the nation toward fairer immigration policy. The law is a milestone in the national debate surrounding immigration, allowing undocumented students to receive financial aid from the institution they attend.

We hope this law will catalyze national reform and allow undocumented students the chance to legally enter the workforce and fully utilize their skills and knowledge that they gain from their education.

But the timing is not right for its companion bill AB 131, which would allow undocumented students to receive financial aid from the state.

With the state’s budget in

unprecedented disarray and public education funds being drastically cut, the bill is not a financially viable move. That reality is a direct reflection of the under-performing economy coupled with misplaced state priorities. California’s legislators must prioritize public education and reinvest in the future of the state in order for the DREAM Act to one day be complete.

Because of residency requirements under AB 540, all undocumented students who will receive institutional aid under AB 130 already have firm roots in California.

Thus, moving forward, the next step should be to craft public policy that creates an easier path to citizenship.

Until then, we must continue to pressure our state officials to act responsibly on behalf of students — documented and undocumented.

Though there is no doubt that AB 130 is a tremendous victory for Californians, there is still work to be done, and we look forward to a smarter immigration policy and the fulfillment of students’ dreams across the state and nation.

A clean slate UNIVERSITY AFFAIRS We are happy that the state audit of the university showed no waste but wish efforts were directed toward funding.

I

n the face of record budget deficits and regular tuition hikes, transparency is absolutely necessary to ensure accountability and confidence — especially at a major public institution like the University of California. A lack of adequate transparency stokes concerns over contentious issues like administrative pay and inspires misplaced displays of anger at a time when students should be protesting the state.

Therefore, we agree with the sentiment of the July 28 report issued by the California state auditor, which suggests that the university be more willing to make more of its financial information open to the public. Students and taxpayers have a right to know how their money is being spent, especially during difficult economic times. The university is obligated to be open to these constituencies by virtue of its public status.

The report also found a discrepancy in the distribution of funds between campuses. While this might seem alarming — UC Santa Barbara received $12,309 per student while UC San Francisco received $55,186 per student during the 2009-10 fiscal year — it is not surprising. Each campus has individual needs and separate rev-

enue flows, and spotlighting these inconsequential discrepancies distracts from the real issue.

We are pleased that the report did not find evidence of wasteful spending. This is reassuring to a student body concerned with rising fees and tighter personal budgets, and should placate protesters who have been upset with the UC Board of Regents. While the university is not perfect, the report reaffirmed our belief that anger over dwindling funds and increasing student fees should be channeled at state officials.

With that being said, not all state officials deprioritize the university.

State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, originally called for the audit and has worked to keep the university accountable. But while we appreciate his resolve, moving forward Yee should refocus his energy toward lobbying in Sacramento on behalf of the university rather than fighting administrators over every action they take.

Regardless of funding levels, administrators should take the report seriously and adhere to its recommendations of transparency and openness. Such a step would show students that university officials are indeed acting in the best interest of those they represent.

Some opinions on AB 130 are uninformed Marisol Dominguez Special to the Daily Cal opinion@dailycal.org Is ignorance bliss?

On Monday, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 130 which ultimately allows undocumented students, also referred to as AB 540 students, to receive financial aid through institutional funds. Consequently, this relieves some of the burden that AB 540 students face when trying to come up with ways to pay for their education; this bill is solely a window of opportunity.

As I was reading online articles about AB 130 I began to read the comments in discussion forums. I am aware that people can be narrow-minded but reading the comments and rebuttals, I found myself disgusted by arguments used to attack the new law. People actually think that gaining citizenship is a simple process that consists of waiting in line and submitting applications.

Some people floated the idea that private funders will get tax exemptions for aiding undocumented students.

Many comments made this a Latino issue, and as one of my good friends pointed out, the media likes to sensationalize this into a race issue when really it is a multi-ethnic issue. One commentator chose the argument that the new law results in an equally qualified US citizen having to attend a CSU school or community college, meaning the “illegal alien” stole a slot in the UC system. My favorite argument claims that easing access to private funds will in effect contribute to a rise in American unemployment.

Reading the different perspectives of a random assortment of people, one particular saying came to mind: Ignorance is bliss! There was no other way to come to terms with the realization that people choose to be

narrow-minded. I respect the idea of people having opposing views, but come on — at least have valid points.

And so here I am with the intent of promoting dialogues between those who live in bliss and those who are in touch with reality. At the very

Research & Ideas

Compassion should inform towing policy

nicole lim/staff

Adrian Rocha Special to the Daily Cal opinion@dailycal.org We pride ourselves on diversity and inclusiveness in the Bay Area, but not all parts of our community are truly included in everyday things we take for granted.

For example, the undocumented have to drive to work and drop off their kids at school just like the rest of us but they cannot get licenses.

They have to drive in fear because a simple police stop can mean a 30 day impoundment of their vehicle with fees in the thousands of dollars.

When I was younger, I remember my dad and I were driving in Berkeley when we saw a man hitchhiking with all his work tools on the sidewalk. My dad offered the man a ride, and he told us in Spanish that the police had taken

his work truck because he had no license. Because of the tow, he had lost his livelihood and it would be extremely difficult for him to recover.

Luckily, Berkeley adopted a vehicle impoundment policy last summer that only requires the tough 30 day tow in serious license violations.

Lesser violations are still towed, but the vehicle can be picked up the same day by a licensed driver without paying a storage fee.

Thanks to Berkeley Organizing Congregations for Action (BOCA) for bringing this important issue to our city leaders like City Manager Phil Kamlarz and Berkeley Police Chief Michael Meehan. I would personally like to thank all involved for their commitment and leadership.

It is reassuring that other cities, such as San Francisco, Richmond and Oakland, have also stepped up to be more compassionate about towing policies. In fact, these cities

have gone farther than Berkeley, preventing needless tows when it’s safe. For example, Oakland allows a licensed acquaintance on scene to drive the vehicle away, or the car can be parked instead if a safe, legal space is near.

As our neighbors improve on our policy, it’s time for us to catch up to make sure we have the safest, most compassionate policy possible.

I hope Berkeley, a city with a history of fighting for social justice, will revisit its policy and make changes that recognize the impact that towing has on the undocumented.

There are many safe alternatives that the city can explore, especially as it looks into booting systems over costly towing contracts. The more compassionate we make our policies, the more inclusive we can claim to be.

ignorance: Myths exist surrounding undocumented students From Page 4 simple. You have to be eligible to apply for permanent residency.

Eligibility is based on multiple factors composed of petitioning through work, family, relatives, refugee or asylee status.

According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, “Congress has set a finite number of visas that can be used each year for each category of immigrants.” The more you look into it you will discover that there are multiple obstacles to becoming legal in this country.

This is especially the case for undocumented students who had no say in their arrival to this country.

Most importantly, take the time to ask: Why are there so many undocumented people and students in the country? Possible reasons include corrupt native governments and economic and social turmoil in their native countries (exactly how their native countries got to that position).

As an online commentator pointed out, this is not a black and white issue. The argument of tax exemptions is a valid point yet the hypocrisy at the base of it is too ridiculous to be ignored. Have we forgotten about California’s Prop 13 (1978)?

Corporate companies are the ones who benefit from Prop 13 while

California’s education system pays the price.

It is important to debunk the idea that the issue at hand is about the Latino community when in reality it is people of multiple ethnicities that make up this particular student group.

When it comes to putting the spotlight on undocumented students who differ from the stereotype, there is Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, born in the Philippines or ASUC senator Ju Hong from South Korea. It is easy to assume that many of the undocumented students are of Latino origin because of the border proximity. The reality is that its people of different backgrounds who arrive in the United States for a better life and greater opportunity.

The idea that an undocumented student is taking away a citizen’s place in the UC system is nonsensical. Simply look up the UC website and the 14 factors weighed to determine acceptance into a UC school.

Further proof that citizenship and race is not taken into consideration are the “Principles of Community” found on the Berkeley website as well as the UC Diversity Statement.

The naked truth is that individuals who make it into the UC system do so because they are better qualified based on academia, not citizenship — no theft occurs. Based on the concept of being more prepared and eligible for a UC school, this logic can also be applied to the argument of “job stealing.” This argument is so ironic I get a chuckle out of it. If an undocumented student who faces many obstacles to receive any form of higher education is hired instead of a U.S. citizen who has more resources, what does that say about the citizen?

What I propose to readers and avid commentators is to do research and be aware of what is going on and understand why it is happening.

I advise a healthy dialogue.

I am not telling you which side to choose, but I am advising you to stop living out the old adage, “ignorance is bliss.” The United States has always encouraged education, and to not educate yourself is oxymoronic. To remain uninformed goes against the goal of AB 130: increasing access to education in California.

Democrats should see eye-to-eye on.

The Farm Bill is up for reauthorization in 2012. Senator Feinstein and Congresswoman Lee both have significant influence in this realm as members of their respective appropriations committees. As their constituents, we should let them know we value this reform.

ognize the reasonable forms of cuts Republican congressmen have been proposing. An unreported example of this would be the upcoming Farm Bill, proposed by Rep. Flake, R-Arizona.

This bill plans to reform farm subsidies by cutting those given to mass producers of corn and soy.

The Farm Bill holds bipartisan support, and rightly so. Right-leaning folks can rejoice in the fact that $245 billion can be saved over the next 15 years, while liberals will support numerous health benefits by cutting subsidies to unhealthy food products, like corn syrup.

As a young, moderate Republican looking forward, I see this as a shining example of our nation’s ability to compromise. With childhood obesity quadrupling in the past 40 years, both Republicans and Democrats can and should support Representative Flake’s Farm Bill.

Letters to the editor

Compromise to cut debt Brit Moller comments on the possible political strategy Republicans may be taking: “desperate times call for desperate measures.” But I still see great opportunities for reasonable compromise. Cutting government spending does not have to hurt our dear social security.

Farm subsidies, for example, are in dire need of reform. In the last 15, years we’ve shelled out $245 billion of our tax dollars for farm subsidization.

Unfortunately, 75 percent of that is going to the wealthiest 10 percent of farms (industrialized mega-farms using it to produce corn syrup and hydrogenated oils). Subsidies for our food supply should not be going to companies already posting large profits to make Twinkies cheaper than carrots. We could be closing the debt gap while promoting healthier eating habits for Americans. This is a nobrainer that both Republicans and

Reform farm subsidies to reduce national debt and appease both parties In Brit Moller’s recent article titled “Republicans may have forfeited debt debate for the presidency,” there are several references to the possibly extreme motives of the GOP in regards to the debt debate.

However, arguing that the two parties have little common ground in the realm of cutting spending fails to rec-

Peter Duesberg, the campus professor of molecular and cell biology who led the research on the development of cancer, argues that carcinogenesis is the result of speciation.

Scientists present alternate cancer formation theory

Cancer formation is a process akin to the development of a newly evolved species, rather than a result of mutation, according to a study recently published by researchers at UC Berkeley.

Published in the July 1 issue of the journal Cell Cycle, the study, led by campus professor of molecular and cell biology Peter Duesberg, presents a theory that cancer formation is not the result of genetic mutation, as has long been thought. According to Duesberg, carcinogenesis is the result of speciation — the formation of a new species over the course of evolution.

The study challenges the long-held belief that cancer is the result of genetic mutations which result in uncontrolled cell growth, instead arguing that cancer formation stems from aneuploidy — chromosomal disruption which alters the balance of genes, resulting in cells with new traits. “(The research) started off maybe 10 to 12 years ago on the idea ‘let’s have a look at the chromosomes as causes of cancer,’” Duesberg said. “That also was an older idea, but it was abandoned because of the mutations theory. What we confirmed here was that there was always aneuploidy.”

Duesberg said that ordinarily humans have 46 chromosomes in the majority of cells, defining the human species. However, he said he could not find a cancer that has 46 chromosomes, stating that many fatal cancers, including lung and colon cancers, have 70 to 80 chromosomes and sometimes

even more.

Mark Vincent, a medical oncologist at the London Regional Cancer Program and an associate professor at the University of Western Ontario, said in an email that he agrees with the campus team’s theory that chromosomal disruption is the root cause of cancer.

However, Vincent said in the email that he does not believe cancer formation ends with speciation.

“What worries me is, once transformed, what have cancer cells become?” Vincent said in the email. “It is not enough to consider just speciation, one has to go beyond that; I think cancer represents a different form of life, with a particular evolutionary purpose.”

In terms of implications, Duesberg said he believes that this research could allow for earlier diagnoses of cancer.

Vincent said he agreed, although he questioned how much earlier diagnoses could be made.

“Aneuploidy could certainly be looked at for earlier diagnosis of fully transformed cells, but will it be possible to use this with cells that are on the way to cancer but not yet there?” he said in the email.

Looking toward the future, Vincent added that he would like people to try to see cancer as an “evolutionary phenomenon, as having some meaning and connection with the deep history of life on earth.”

HIKERS: Rally held in front of Iran Mission to the United Nations in New York City From Page 3 the Islamic Republic of Iran in Washington, D.C. The campaign for One Million Voices for Shane and Josh started Monday, said Kristina Lim, an organizer for the Bay Area support group for Bauer and Fattal’s release — which includes this call-in campaign. She said the group aims to achieve the one million calls “to show a steady stream of support for the upcoming trial.”

“I strongly support the One Million Voices for Shane and Josh campaign and have encouraged students at Berkeley to participate,” Freeman said. “We have been asking the community to call every day this week to send a powerful message that we stand with Shane and Josh.”

Freeman said that he and members of the ASUC are hoping for the safe return of the detained hikers to the United States.

“Shane and Josh are part of the Cal family, and I strongly feel that it is my responsibility to urge students to let the powers that be know that Shane and Josh belong at home with their families,” he said.

In Berkeley, City Councilmember Gordon Wozniak, who said his son is acquaintances with Fattal and Bauer, called on citizens of Berkeley to join in the advocacy efforts.

“We need to keep their cause alive by applying public pressure,” Wozniak said. “We need to call public attention so they don’t get lost and forgotten.”

According to Lim, advocates for the hikers’ release have tried many methods of garnering public attention, including holding vigils, street theaters and photo exhibits. On Friday, family and friends of Bauer and Fattal held a rally outside of Iran’s Mission to the United Nations in New York.

The rally, as well as ongoing advocacy efforts, “will show a huge shift of support so that Iran will see that this is a humanitarian issue and there is a lot of pressure from the whole wide community to release them,” Lim said.

At the New York Rally, Shane Bauer’s father, Al Bauer, Shourd and Josh Fattal’s mother, Laura Fattal, were among the few who addressed the gathering, according to a statement from the Free the Hikers organization.

“If there is fairness in Iran’s legal system, their release is close at hand,” Al Bauer said in the statement. “I ask everyone here to pray for the next 36 hours until Shane and Josh walk into that courtroom, so that when they walk out they are finally free men and can begin their journey back into our arms.”

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a major problem in sports. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not steroids; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not cheating. Not the NBA lockout or the BCS. A couple weeks ago, Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson went on a radio show and called someone a word that no one, in polite company or otherwise, should ever utter. The media calls it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gay slur.â&#x20AC;? I call it proof.

Sports, from the professional leagues on down, remain one of this nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great bastions of homophobia.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like the military, only itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even assume because there are no gays in sports.â&#x20AC;?

In menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports like football and baseball, we figure that everyone is straight. In many womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports, especially softball and basketball, the classic stereotype is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all lesbian â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a different, but equally,

s/f

its is experienced at the top, as both projected starting tackles (Mitchell Schwartz and Matt Summers-Gavin) are proven players. Guards Brian Schwenke and Justin Cheadle have seen their share of snaps, as has center Dominic Galas.

However, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much less certainty with just about everyone else; developing some decent depth along the rotation will be Michalczikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary task this fall.

Young players like Tyler Rigsbee and Bill Tyndall will get their chances to compete for back-up roles during camp.

Keeping everyone healthy will be another key for Michalczik â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both Galas and Schwartz sat out during spring practice and Summers-Gavin has battled injuries throughout his career. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Ed Yevelev

Incoming freshman Viliami Moala set the Cal bench-press record even before enrolling in school. The 6-foot-2, 350-pound defensive tackle benched 495 pounds in high school and was ESPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 7-ranked defensive lineman for the class of 2011.

The Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2011 recruiting haul, ranked No. 15 by ESPN, is stock-piled with defenders ready to contribute right away.

It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy to replicate Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 defense, which gave up the fewest yards in the conference, but Moala and company will have an opportunity to produce immediately on a unit that lost six starters, including stars Cameron Jordan, Mike Mohamed and Chris Conte. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys are young right now but I still think that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to contribute in some way,â&#x20AC;? head coach Jeff Tedford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to work with on defense as far as talent level is concerned.â&#x20AC;?

Moala should fit seamlessly as the gap-clogging nose tackle in defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-4 scheme, replacing Derrick Hill. And Moala isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top defensive recruit. The most exciting player might be Avery Walls, who enrolled at Cal early and could potentially start from day one. The Georgia native turned down the likes of Oregon and Michigan to roam the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; secondary. Walls, along with threestar cornerbacks Stefan McClure, Kameron Jackson and Joel Willis, should flourish the leadership of the squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new 14. under Lowdown defensive backs coach, former Pro-Bowler#Ashley 22 Ambrose. # 15.

Over his career, Jeff Tedford has fashioned himself the reputation of a quarterback guru.

But since Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2005, no Cal signal-caller has made it to the NFL. In 2006, Nate Longshore had the secondbest quarterback rating in the Pac-10.

Longshore injured his ankle the following season and struggled for the rest of his career; the Bears havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a player rank in the top five since. The recent trend of positional mediocrity in Strawberry Canyon has slowly led some to question Tedfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaching acumen.

This season could a crucial one in the scope of Tedfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy. After ostensibly taking a step back in recent years to focus on the program as a whole, he has said that he will be taking a larger role in playcalling in 2011.

The change follows the departure of former offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig. The now-San Diego State OC was replaced by Jim Michalczik, who also returns the offensive line coach role he served from 2002-08. receivers coach Eric Kiesau also 21.Wide Spread D EtheP 24makes a homecoming, and now carries

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be tremendous for Tedfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resume if the new hires are successful. In Buffalo transfer Zach Maynard, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be working with a starting quarterback that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played competitive football in over a year. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jack Wang

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret: when the Bears have lost big, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost games in the trenches. USC last fall comes to mind, as does Oregon State. In both contests, Cal was annihilated up front â&#x20AC;&#x201D; leaving little time for Kevin Riley and few creases for Shane Vereen.

So to fix the offensive line, which has been a liability for the past couple of years, Jeff Tedford has called in the help of an old friend. Jim Michalczik is back in Berkeley as the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offensive line coach after a brief stint with the Oakland Raiders.

He brings a proven track record of churning out All-Pac-10 linemen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most recently, current Cleveland Browns All-Pro center Alex Mack.

With Michalczikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival, Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line has the chance to make significant strides in 2011. The group he inher-

JANUARY ’11 4

1. Zach Maynard takes over under center for the Bears

Ashley Ambrose, a 13-year NFL veteran, is named Cal's defensive backs coach to replace Al Simmons.

24

Offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig leaves after two seasons at Cal to take the same position at San Diego State.

FEBRUARY 3

Cal signs a top-20 recruiting class, headlined by safety Avery Walls and defensive tackle Viliami Moala.

5

Jim Michalczik, who coached Cal’s O-line from 2002-2008, is brought back for the same position. He is also named offensive coordinator.

APRIL 28-30

Four Bears are taken in the NFL Draft. Defensive end Cameron Jordan goes 24th overall to the Saints, followed by Shane Vereen and Chris Conte in rounds two and three, respectively. Mike Mohamed was picked in the sixth round by Denver.

With the departure of Kevin Riley, Cal’s quarterback competition figured to be the team’s most wide-open in years.

And it sure will be during fall camp ... for the role of back-up, anyway.

Jeff Tedford ended all the starting quarterback drama in May, choosing Buffalo transfer Zach Maynard over Allan Bridgford and Brock Mansion.

Still, that does not mean the pressure — or attention — from that position has disappeared.

Not by a long shot.

Maynard does bring significant upside — most notably his running ability, which

could enable Jeff Tedford to add extra wrinkles to the offense.

And given the Bears’ major question marks at running back right now, having an extra playmaker under center certainly couldn’t hurt.

However, the Greensboro, N.C. native remains an unknown commodity as a passer. His 2009 stats at Buffalo (18 touchdown passes, 15 interceptions) are not exactly dazzling and it remains to be seen how Maynard’s accuracy and poise hold up against the top-tier Pac-12 defenses.

We’ll learn much more once official games start. Nevertheless, fall camp can at least provide a glimpse of his chemistry with Marvin Jones and Keenan Allen, how well he can pick up Tedford’s offense and if there are indeed any changes in place to utilize Maynard’s mobility.

— Ed Yevelev

2. Shane Vereen leaves behind questions at running back Arrington. Lynch. Forsett. Best. Vereen.

Sofele?

After years of star running back replacing star running back, moderately-used junior Isi Sofele is Jeff Tedford’s clear No. 1.

Sofele may be just 5-foot-7 and 188 pounds and he may have rushed for only 420 yards in his Cal career, but he is the most experienced tailback. Dasarte Yarnway had just eight carries in 2010. Covaughn DeBoskieJohnson has had 52 in two years combined.

The Bears have a long list of other running backs, but the rest are first-years.

Sofele was the primary backup last season to the departed Shane Vereen. The speedster rushed for 338 yards on 69 attempts in 2010, averaging almost five yards a carry. With his small frame, Sofele probably won’t break many tackles, but he can beat defenders to the outside.

His back-up? That’s for camp to answer.

Yarnway and DeBoskie-Johnson may be

logical choices, but their history of injuries and lack of production might point Tedford to the first-years — especially freshman Brendon Bigelow. The four-star recruit underwent two knee surgeries in high school, but was deemed ready for fall camp.

Two junior college transfers are in the running, as well: C.J. Anderson out of nearby Laney College and walk-on Mike Manuel, who attended Golden West College in Huntington Beach, Calif. Tedford praised Manuel after a strong spring practice in early April.

Jeff Tedford names Buffalo transfer Zach Maynard as the Bears’ starting quarterback.

Sophomore Keenan Allen and senior Marvin Jones are about the best pair of targets new quarterback Zach Maynard could hope for.

What’s less clear is who will be on the field in three-receiver sets, or when either of the regular two starters need a breather.

Michael Calvin, who at 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds has the look of a top-flight wideout, but has battled injuries throughout his career.

In 2010, the San Lorenzo, Calif., native set numerous career highs — which sounds impressive until you see that those numbers last fall amounted to three starts, 13 recep-

tions and 147 receiving yards. There’s a chance Calvin could have a breakout season, but for now, that chance appears to be slim.

Freshman Kaelin Clay should have a brighter future. Clay, who redshirted last season, has been reputed as the fastest player on the team since he arrived on campus. He also hails from Long Beach Poly, the same high school that produced DeSean Jackson and numerous other NFL players. Listed at a diminutive 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, Clay could serve as an ideal slot receiver.

Others who could be in the mix for playing time include senior Coleman Edmond, a former junior college transfer who saw more time as a kick returner last year, and Allen’s cousin Maurice Harris, a big-bodied freshman from North Carolina.

— Jack Wang
