Stem Cell Funds Under Question Bill Would Let UC Consider Judge Issues Injunction Blocking Use of Federal Funds for Certain Types Of Stem Cell Research

by Cristian Macavei Contributing Writer

A preliminary injunction granted Monday by a federal judge blocked federal funds from being used for certain stem cell research, drawing widespread astonishment and possibly making the research more difficult to conduct at UC Berkeley.

Campus researchers and legal experts are unsure about how the ruling will apply and are uncertain about the consequences of the case, in which two

researchers sued the Department of Health and Human Services, claiming that the use of federal funds for stem cell research violates the 1996 DickeyWicker Amendment.

The amendment was a rider to the 1996 Balanced Budget Downpayment Act, which prohibited the use of federal funds for research in which human embryos are “destroyed, discarded or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death greater than that allowed for research on fetuses ‘in utero’” under federal regulations that apply. The judge approved the plaintiffs’ argument that the National Institutes of Health’s research guidelines violate the amendment.

According to the ruling, the institutes produced the guidelines to establish eligibility requirements for which types of embryonic stem cells

could be used for research funded by the institutes.

The institutes published the guidelines after President Barack Obama issued an executive order in 2009 that removed limitations to embryonic stem cell research previously implemented by President George W. Bush, who issued a policy statement in 2001 prohibiting federal funding for research on embryonic stem cells created after the date of the policy statement.

Randy Schekman, UC Berkeley professor of molecular and cell biology and co-director of the Berkeley Stem Cell Center, called the ruling “bizarre” and said its impact on stem cell research at UC Berkeley is uncertain.

Many investigators affiliated with the center conduct their research using funds from the California Institute

Race, Gender in Admissions

by Aaida Samad Contributing Writer

A bill amending the California state education code passed in the state Senate Aug. 23 and is en route to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger despite concerns that if signed into law, the bill may violate state constitutional bans on affirmative action.

Introduced by Assemblyman Edward Hernandez, D-West Covina, Assembly Bill 2047 would allow the UC and the CSU to consider geographic origin, household income, gender, race, ethnicity and national origins in both undergraduate and graduate admissions processes to the extent that they

do not violate the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The bill would also mandate the CSU Board of Trustees and request the UC Board of Regents to report to Schwarzenegger and the state Legislature about the implementation of the criteria.

While proponents state that the bill expands the university’s ability to enroll a diverse student body, critics argue that the bill is in direct violation of the state’s constitution.

Organizations such as the California Association of Scholars and the American Civil Rights Coalition oppose the bill, asserting that it violates Proposition 209 — a 1996 amendment

June 8 — When Measure C, a proposal that would have saved two of Berkeley’s public pools from closure failed to garner the required twothirds majority, community members scrambled for alternative ways to save the city’s pools. The defeat of the measure — which would have raised $22.5 million in bonds — resulted in the July 1 closure of Willard Pool, despite efforts to raise the funds needed to keep the pool open. The city’s warm water pool at Berkeley High School will also close when the high school remodels next summer.

May 18 — ASUC President Noah Stern was cleared of all charges alleging he violated campaign bylaws following a settlement agreement he signed with Attorney General Kevin Gibson before the Judicial Council.

In the agreement, Stern acknowledged Gibson’s investigation and subsequent charges were undertaken and filed in good faith and that the two would draft a senate bill to address punishments for campaign violations and investigative practices prior to, during or after an ASUC election.

In all, Stern was issued four censures by the council, one shy of disqualification.

Increased Funds Allow Campus To Expand High-Demand Classes

by Samantha Strimling Contributing Writer

Over $1 million from increased tuition and nonresident admissions will go towards increasing lower division courses and sections for UC Berkeley math and science departments to improve quality and availability, campus officials announced Tuesday.

Beginning next spring semester, money generated from the 32 percent fee hike as well as the increase in out-of-state and international student enrollment will be divided among the math, statistics, chemistry and physics departments.

Starting in 2011 to 2012, the funding will be increased to $1.85 million.

The funding of these courses is a continuation of a campus effort — including the addition of Reading and Composition courses announced last spring — to ensure undergraduates have access to classes necessary to complete their degrees.

Math department funds will go towards restoring the “status quo� prior to cutbacks, according to UC Berkeley math professor Michael Christ. This includes decreasing the number of students in a discussion section from 30 to 25 and increasing section length from two to three hours.

Similar measures will be taken in other departments, according to campus spokesperson Janet Gilmore, such as restricting the number of upper division students in lower division classes and hiring graduate student instructors to increase the number of lectures and sections.

The math department will also hire student graders to free up more time to

discuss material in section and postdoctorates to teach honors classes, said Barbara Peavy, director of student services for the campus department of mathematics.

The chemistry department will spend an estimated 5 to 10 percent of their allocated funds to replace antiquated laboratory apparatuses, said Dean of the College of Chemistry Richard Mathies.

According to Gilmore, the funding effort supports a “common-good� curriculum because the courses will serve students in a broad range of majors. “(Around) 80 to 90 percent of people in the Chem 1 and 3 classes are nonmajors, which gives you an idea of how much this department services other departments,� Mathies said.

Sophomore Ariela Koehler, a molecular cell biology major, said though she got into the lecture for Chemistry 3A, she had “a lot of trouble� getting into the corresponding lab section, causing her to fear she would not graduate on time. “I was on the waitlist for maybe three months,� she said. “MCB has a lot of prerequisites and a lot of the prerequisites are prerequisites for each other, so there is a very specific order you need to take classes in.�

Mathies said he was “very pleased� with the new funding effort. “Since (the students) are paying higher tuition, the quality of instruction should be better,� he said. “This is a really, really important effort from the campus, and the administration should be congratulated.�

Thousands of items at the Berkeley Public Library’s central branch will be reorganized by the end of the year in an effort to make the library more accommodating for patrons.

Some of the library’s collection of books, audio tapes, VHS videos and DVDs - especially those in the foreign languages and nonfiction genres - will be consolidated. Additionally, magazines and popular media will be moved to a new reading area, all for a price tag of $30,000 from the library’s discretionary fund, according to Sharon Thygesen, the city’s general services manager.

The project, which will begin Oct. 1, is so comprehensive that Douglas Smith, deputy director of library services, said it is more cost-effective to hire a professional moving company rather than assign the task to the library’s staff.

According to Thygesen, moving

companies that apply for the project will be evaluated after the bid’s submission deadline Aug. 31. The contract will be awarded to the winning vendor by Sept. 10, tentatively.

The relocation of materials and shelves will make the library more accessible for both regulars and firsttime visitors, Smith said.

He added that the decision to conduct this project coincides with upcoming renovations to other branches of the city’s libraries, which will be funded

by Measure FF funds.

In 2008, Berkeley voters approved $26 million in bond money to expand four of the city’s branch libraries and bring them up to seismic code, excluding the central library. Reorganization of the central branch will not be paid for with these funds, although it will be affected by upcoming construction. “We do expect increase in traffic at (the) central library when other

News in Brief Unit 2 Custodian Victim of Rare Campus Hate Crime An employee of the Unit 2 custodial staff was the victim of a hate crime Saturday morning while using a leaf blower to clean the student residence complex’s courtyard.

The man, an employee of Physical Plant-Campus Services, was working near Davidson Hall when the elderly suspect approached him at about 7:47 a.m. and yelled at him for making too much noise, according to UCPD reports.

The suspect asked the victim, 42, where his supervisor was. As the victim walked the suspect to the Unit 2 office, the suspect pushed the victim, according to UCPD. “The man continued yelling at the victim and demanded that the victim take him to the supervisor,� said UCPD Captain Margo Bennett. “They were walking toward the supervisor’s office, and as they were walking, the employee stopped, and

the (suspect) turned and pushed him in the chest. ... In the process of pushing with both hands, he referred to his (the victim’s) ethnicity in a negative fashion.�

The victim, who did not fall and was not injured during the incident, continued walking with the suspect to the office, where the suspect spoke to the supervisor about “noise ordinances and work procedures,� Bennett said.

UCPD received a call about the incident at 7:50 a.m. and responded to the scene eight minutes later, but were unable to locate the suspect. He is described as a male, approximately 60 years old, 5 feet 10 inches in height and 180 pounds in weight, with sandy hair and wearing brownframed glasses and a purple sweatshirt.

Hate crimes are relatively uncommon on or around the UC Berkeley campus.

Two unverified hate crimes that occurred on campus housing facilities were reported in 2009, according to UCPD statistics. —Tomer Ovadia

State Advances Public Schools’ Payment Deferrals by One Month

by Soumya Karlamangla Contributing Writer

The Berkeley Unified School District will not receive its share of the coming month’s $2.5 billion in state funds following a Monday announcement from the California State Controller’s Office that September payments to local and county schools will be deferred.

In March of this year, the state of California rolled out a three-month plan, allowing the deferral of payments to school districts in July and October, as well as in March of 2011. On Monday, however, the office announced the planned October deferral would instead take effect a month earlier, in September, in an effort to conserve cash during tough financial times. “They’re choosing to make the deferral a little earlier,� said Edgar Cabral, a senior fiscal and policy analyst with the California Legislative Analyst’s Office. “They’re concerned about the ability of the state to make all its payments considering there isn’t a budget in place right now.�

The early deferment reveals the state’s inability to pass a budget almost two months after expected. Until the legislative impasse is resolved, the state will have to resort to these kinds of measures, according to Jacob Roper, spokesperson for the state controller’s office. “It’s going to affect (the districts’) cash flows,� Roper said. “It was already going to take place beginning in October. This just moved the start and end date 30 days.�

District spokesperson Mark Coplan said the shift will not cause any immediate changes at the local level and will just force the district to fund programs with their own reserves until the money from the state comes in.

The exact amount that was deferred from the district has not yet been calculated, according to district Deputy

Superintendent Javetta Cleveland.

Cleveland added, though, that the district was already prepared for the money to be deferred and pushing it up a month has little effect. “It doesn’t really impact us — we have cash reserves,� she said. “That may not be the case for every school district, but that’s the case for us.�

Having been warned the deferments were coming, district officials did not seem alarmed at the slight change of plans. “It shouldn’t have too much of an effect because (the districts) already planned out as if this money is going to be deferred,�

Cabral said. “They should be able to deal with this situation and not have too much of a problem — they’re just getting deferred a month early.�

September’s deferment must now be paid back within 90 days, even if the financial crisis worsens. Come March 2011, the state can also elect to shift the third deferment to early February, according to Cabral. “It could be that they ... will move it up again,� he said. “Hopefully, the districts have taken that into account.�

Like September’s deferment, Cleveland said the Berkeley Unified School District would not be affected if the March deferment was pushed up to February. If the change were to occur, districts might actually benefit, as their payments from the state would arrive a month earlier than anticipated.

With the state budget process still at a standstill, officials are unsure what measures will be necessary in the future to stave off a more serious financial crisis at both the state and local levels. “The bottom line is that if the legislature and governor do not pass a budget, something will have to be done,� Roper said.

The Daily Californian

Perfecting the Art of Posing The art of posing isn’t hard to master. It’s simple, really. Take this title, for instance. It’s a reference. Did you get it? Do you know the source? If you do, pat yourself on the back. You get a gold star for cultural literacy. If not, immediately doubt your intelligence and maturity.

Let me back up a little. This reference is to the first line from Elizabeth Bishop’s “One Art.� If you asked, I might mention this poem, hoping you’ll picture me as a bohemian, staying up late, contemplating my mortality and drinking absinthe.

But I don’t actually spend my evenings reading poems with only the light of the moon for company. In fact, I was watching a Cameron Diaz movie called “In Her Shoes� and Diaz’s character recited the poem while learning to read. It was some kind of metaphor, I believe.

I’m hoping you get my point. (But if you don’t, I can always cry foul and say that the world misunderstands my art.) It’s embarrassing how much time we put into appearing smart and cultured.

Part of it, certainly, is the Berkeley culture. In other environments, you put this much energy into being hot or strong or marriageable (and believe me, Berkeley is not completely immune to such things).

Here, however, we live for intellect: books, art, science, film, music. This is apparent everywhere, from the look of superiority on a Rasputin clerk’s face to the casual question from a complete stranger at the library (“Is this your first Hamlet experience?�). College is a place to figure out who you are, and a lot of that involves posing.

The other day I was trying to decide what book to bring with me to a cafe.

I was torn between two choices: an embarrassingly age-inappropriate novel or “Alias Grace� by Margaret Atwood. Chances are that even if I brought the embarrassing one, no one would notice.

I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I thought, “No, go for the Atwood.�

What if a tall man with intense eyes and a devil-may-care mystique asks what you’re reading? Or, even worse, what if someone notices what you’re reading and thinks you’re childish and have poor taste? Which book do you think I chose?

Granted, I may be more sensitive than most. I’m a Daily Cal blogger, after all, and we pride ourselves on snappy, punny, obscure blog titles.

(My most groan-worthy include “We Might Need Some Education� and “Yudof the Red-Nosed Reindeer.�) We practically snark for a living.

We also tend to be touchy, given to drafting comebacks well before we’re actually attacked. I’m prepared — I can rattle off a list of authors I like who are deemed acceptable by Berkeley culture at large: Jonathan Safran Foer, Harper Lee, J.D. Salinger. It’s not even a lie — I genuinely love each of them.

But it’s not the whole truth. And cheesy as it sounds, I think we’re all here at Berkeley to learn the whole truth about ourselves. Which, believe

Cassie Myers it or not, can sometimes come down to silly things like admitting a “Jersey Shore� addiction.

So yes, of course posing is a waste of time. It’s a contradiction, especially for Cal students. We are Berkeley. We sweat idiosyncrasies while swimming in a sea of self-acceptance and eff-theman individuality. (Sorry, that was a little pretentious. It’s hard to stop.)

Even worse, taste can differ dramatically from person to person.

Practically everyone disagrees at some point about what is “good� or “worthy.�

Don’t believe me? Here’s Nabokov on Dostoevsky, “Dostoevsky’s lack of taste ‌ the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity — all this is difficult to admire.â€?

Well, that one’s not so bad. What about D.H. Lawrence on Melville? “Oh dear, when the solemn ass brays!

Brays! Brays!� Or Faulkner on my man Twain? “A hack writer ... who tricked out a few of the old proven sure-fire literary skeletons with sufficient local color to intrigue the superficial and the lazy.�

Even the 19th century ladies mixed it up — here’s Charlotte Bronte on Jane Austen, “I should hardly like to live with her ladies and gentlemen, in their elegant but confined houses.�

ZING! As it turns out, good taste is really a matter of ‌ well, taste. Some people hate broccoli, some like “Twilight.â€?

Such is our world. And “Twilight� fans even divide themselves into smaller teams, questioning the taste of other rabid fans.

This madness has to stop. So, do you remember my mentioning a certain embarrassing, age-inappropriate book I’d been reading? The time has now come to reveal my secret.

This summer I read (among other things) a series called “The Unicorn Chronicles� by Bruce Coville. I have all my excuses already prepared — I read the first few books when I was nine, and the last book just came out this year. I’m reading it to make my nineyear-old self happy.

But you know what? That ain’t the whole truth.

So here’s my confession — my nineteen-year-old self is thrilled to be reading the Chronicles, turning pages feverishly to find out what happens to Lightfoot and his unicorn friends.

Your turn.

Review:

From Front

June 16 — Months after students and riot police clashed outside Wheeler Hall while 43 students occupied the building, a report was released by the UC Berkeley Police Review Board criticizing the campus administration’s disorganized response. The report provides a detailed narrative of the day’s events, describing several violent encounters between protesters and police and confirming that one student was shot in the stomach with a rubber pellet or projectile. Chancellor Robert Birgeneau and UCPD Police Chief Mitch Celaya said they would take the board’s recommendations into consideration in formulating responses to protests in the future.

July 12 — A special advisory council created to advise Chancellor Robert Birgeneau on the finances of Intercollegiate Athletics delivered a report outlining various cost-cutting strategies for the department and presented Birgeneau with three options to reduce expenses within the department, which received about $13.7 million in campus support during the 2008-09 fiscal year, according to the NCAA. The council, composed of four alumni and four professors, offered an alternative financial model where the campus would progressively lower support to the department until 2014, when support would total $5 million annually.

July 13 — After more than two

months of debate, the Berkeley City Council placed two measures on the November ballot that, if passed, would change the way the city regulates and taxes medical marijuana. The two measures emerged following the formation of a council subcommittee in mid-May to address growing uncertainty about the city’s Medical Marijuana Ordinance and the state of the city’s medical marijuana community.

Measure S proposes a 2.5 percent business license tax on recognized collectives and dispensaries in the city, while Measure T raises the limit on the number of recognized non-dispensing sites from zero to six and the limit on the number of recognized dispensaries from three to four.

July 14 — Christopher Edley, dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law, presented the UC Board of Regents with information about a pilot program to develop 25 to 40 fully online classes. The program, presented in March by the UC Commission on the Future, will move forward only after Edley garners around $6 million in private funds to begin the project.

Several regents expressed support for the pilot, though some members of the board as well as the Academic Council expressed hesitation about the move.

July 20 — Berkeley Police arrested Travis Churchill, 25, originally from Oregon, in People’s Park for allegedly setting a fire in front of Sam’s Market, the 11th in a series of 12 fires that

began July 16. Police believe there is a connection between the fires, most of which were trash cans set ablaze and placed near either cars or buildings.

The largest fire occurred next to Ehrman Hall at the Unit 2 residence halls. Since the first set of blazes, two similar fires were set, though police say they are unrelated.

August 4 — After a federal court ruling overturned Proposition 8, the 2008 voter-approved constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman, supporters of same-sex marriage marched in the streets of San Francisco to celebrate, though same-sex couples’ plans to tie the knot have been postponed, as proposition backers appeal the decision to a higher court.

August 12 — Campus officials announced that a controversial plan allowing incoming freshmen to submit their DNA for testing will not release individual students’ ability to metabolize alcohol, tolerate lactose and absorb folic acid. The decision came after the California Department of Health said the campus should have used labs meeting federal and state standards, as well as gotten a physician’s permission before asking for DNA samples. About 700 incoming students had submitted samples to be tested — out of the 5,000 who were sent DNA kits — before the announcement.

for Regenerative Medicine and are unaffected by the ruling, Schekman said.

But he added that other investigators do rely on funding from the institutes, and it remains to be seen whether the ruling will rescind existing grants or if the ruling blocks only new grants.

Schekman said research is continuing for now.

“I can’t imagine anybody here is going to suspend research,” he said.

“Most of the people here at Berkeley are supported at least in part with money from (the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine). ... The immediate effect is likely to be nil. Going

forward, hard to say.”

Ken Taymor, executive director of the Berkeley Center for Law, Business and the Economy at UC Berkeley Law School, said the ruling is mired in uncertainty because the judge unexpectedly addressed broader questions, rather than focusing on just those surrounding Obama’s orders versus Bush’s orders and was vague in the explanation of how the ruling would actually be applied.

“There’s a great deal of confusion as to what can and cannot be done between now and the time that there’s a final decision,” Taymor said.

According to Taymor, the ruling did not give guidance about which types of embryonic stem cells can be used and

He added that there is reason to believe the final ruling will not uphold this preliminary ruling. The date of final ruling could take months or years to be actualized. The Department of Health and Human Services, the defendant in the case, will likely present a stronger argument against the plaintiffs in the final case in order to preserve research on embryonic stem cells, Taymor said.

to the state constitution that prohibits state institutions from discriminating or giving preference to individuals or groups on the basis of factors such as race, ethnicity, gender and national origins — according to Ward Connerly, president of the coalition and a former UC regent whose proposal led to the abolishment of affirmative action in the UC in 1996.

He added that if the bill is passed, it will bring needless litigation and expense to the state’s already cashstrapped higher education institutions.

“The bill is disingenuous — I’ve never seen more of a waste of time, effort and potentially, money,” Connerly said. “If the governor … signed this, I guarantee you that (organizations) will sue and the university will be caught between a rock and a hard spot.”

Pedro Salcido, consultant for Hernandez, said the bill does not call for preferential treatment. He added that the bill recommends considering race and gender in admissions decisions “solely for informational purposes.”

According to Salcido, the bill is an effort by the assemblyman to address data indicating a decrease in minority enrollment in the UC and CSU systems since the approval of Prop. 209.

Several national and state organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union, the California State Student Association and the Equal

Justice Society have expressed their support for the bill, arguing that it will help state higher education institutions enroll a diverse, representative student body. On Wednesday, the California Postsecondary Education Commission sent a letter to Gov. Schwarzenegger, requesting him to sign the bill into law.

“We support the bill because we’re concerned with equity and access in the California higher education,” said Karen Humphrey, executive director of the commission. “The bill will allow the universities to take into account to socioeconomic and demographic factors to build a more diverse student body.”

Amid controversy surrounding the bill, the UC has taken a neutral position, according to UC spokesperson Ricardo Vazquez. While the university is currently able to look at factors such as geographic origin and household income in their comprehensive review admissions process, the UC does not look at race and related factors in light of Prop. 209.

“Diversity is a very important goal of the UC; the UC has made great strides in enrolling a student body that is more broadly representative of the state we serve,” he said. “Regardless of the outcome of this bill, we will continue to work within the parameters of the state law to achieve that goal.”

He added that most of the collections that will be relocated will still be available to patrons with occasional exceptions.

“Part of what we found in our developing plan a few years ago was that people really want quick and easy access to materials,” Smith said. “They want a functional, comfortable environment, and that’s what we’re doing.”

TRADE-OFFS

evan Walbridge/contributor

Editors’ Note: Weighing the Options Before Us In a time of crisis, everybody eventually has a set of choices laid out before them — choices that must be made to preserve their fundamentals in the face of an uncertain future. The values that comprise an institution’s core must be weighed against the trying circumstances forcing it to evolve.

And after years of turbulent protests and politics, economic implosions and stark realizations, the city of Berkeley, the University of California and the state’s citizenry are at that juncture.

The nation’s financial plight has reverberated across California. The UC system, like every public service across the state, is reeling from massive reductions in state funding. As a result, university employees are being sent home

for furloughs, students are bearing a greater share of the cost of a public education and the vulnerable among us are living in a constant state of uncertainty.

In past years, these issues were not borne lightly. Demonstrators have vented their frustration at unpopular, shortterm coping mechanisms — clashing, sometimes violently, with authorities.

Up until now, the state and its people have endured the turbulence, and with all the cards laid out on the table the state is no closer to a resolution of its problems.

Though the dilemmas facing the state are not new or unique, they have existed for so long that they have stacked up on each other and brought us to a point

where we are forced to consider options that are simultaneously groundbreaking and disquieting.

Creative solutions to alleviate financial burdens are being proposed, debated and acted upon.

Should the UC offer online versions of traditionally professor-taught courses? Should the state of California legalize the recreational use of marijuana?

The answers are not easy and the debates that have ensued reflect the difficulty of arriving at a conclusive answer.

While the ultimate outcome is uncertain, we are certain that these decisions will need to be made and the tradeoffs they present will need to be weighed.

Medical marijuana growers could face increased regulation and an expanded market if Californians vote to legalize recreational marijuana use.

In a Time of Crisis, Will Californians OK Pot?

by Gianna Albaum Contributing Writer

In the face of a struggling economy, California voters are considering legalizing marijuana — long the target of many drug prevention campaigns and widely associated with underground subversive subcultures — in hopes of raising revenue and reducing the rate of incarceration in the state.

Though medical marijuana has been legal in California for almost 15 years, the presence of Proposition 19 on the November ballot means that state voters will decide whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use for adults 21 and older.

Proponents of Prop. 19 argue the measure will eliminate the black market for pot and provide tax revenues on marijuana sales — which some backers say amount to about $14 billion annually — while opponents have argued it will create a “legal quagmire” for employers by further widening the gap between federal and state law.

Because the measure allows marijuana use on the job unless an employer can prove it hinders job performance, California businesses will no longer be able to comply with the federal Drug-Free Workplace Act and will become ineligible for some federal contracts, according to the California Chamber of Commerce.

In a June 29 speech, Attorney General Jerry Brown told the California District Attorneys Association that the measure could increase the activity of drug cartels in California.

“Every year, we get more marijuana, and every year, we find more guys with AK-47s coming out of Mexico,” he said.

But proponents such as Dan Newman, a strategist for the Yes on Proposition 19 campaign, argue the opposite will happen. Newman compared marijuana to alcohol, arguing legalization would “literally eliminate the black market.”

“You don’t see violent cartels sneaking over the border with kegs of Budweiser,” he said. “The end of prohibition effectively put (Al Capone) out of business.”

In 1996, the passage of Proposition 215 made California the first state to legalize medical marijuana for patients with a physician’s recommendation.

Though the proposition allowed counties and cities to determine their own regulations and methods of distribution, what emerged almost uniformly across the state was a system of collectives and dispensaries. With the passage of SB 420 in 2003, collectives were legally defined as groups of qualified patients cultivating cannabis, while dispensaries only provided cannabis to qualified patients only after

becoming members.

Berkeley currently has a limit of three dispensaries in the city, while the number of collectives is unknown because they can legally operate without city permits or licenses.

But the legalization of recreational marijuana could potentially displace the city’s medical marijuana industry entirely. Berkeley Councilmember Kriss Worthington said the city will begin considering proposals regarding regulation of recreational marijuana in September.

Even if Proposition 19 fails, the Berkeley City Council proposed a ballot measure this summer expanding city regulation of medical marijuana.

The proposal raises the limit on the number of dispensaries from three to four, allows for six permitted non-dispensing locations — for growing, testing, and baking cannabis — and places a tax of 2.5 percent on the gross sales of dispensaries and collectives.

Though the medical marijuana industry has become widely accepted — if not embraced — across California, Worthington said that originally the permitting of dispensaries had created much controversy.

“Once they actually got used to (the dispensaries),” he said, “the very same people (who complained said) this is sort of a good thing to have around because these people are responsible and

paying attention.”

As the medical marijuana industry expands and collectives and dispensaries become increasingly accepted into local business communities across the state, polls show Californians are warming up to the idea of legalizing the drug entirely. A SurveyUSA poll conducted August 9 to 11 found that 50 percent of Californians supported Proposition 19 and 40 percent opposed it. Previous polls had portrayed a much more narrow split, with one July poll showing opposition in the lead.

How the cannabis would be distributed under Proposition 19 — through liquor stores, designated dispensaries, or not at all — would be up to local governments. Cities such as Alameda that have already banned dispensaries from operating may choose to ban the sale of marijuana entirely, according to Newman.

On the other hand, neighboring Oakland has agreed to evaluate proposals for pot growing facilities as large as 200,000 square feet.

Proponents argue that legalization would not increase the accessibility of cannabis.

“It’s pretty available already,” said Cathy Kodama, Health Promotion Director at the Tang Center on campus.

“It certainly won’t make marijuana available to the level of alcohol today.”

Newman, the strategist for the Yes

on Proposition 19 campaign, added that students find it easier to get marijuana than alcohol.

“Drug dealers don’t card you,” he said.

With the election drawing closer, campus officials are still discussing how the passage of Proposition 19 will affect university policies regarding pot.

“There’s a lot of unanswered questions,” said Marty Takimoto, Director of Communications and Marketing for the Residential and Student Services Program. “Until the bill passes or doesn’t pass, we really won’t know exactly what implications it’s going to have for colleges or universities.”

Currently, students 21 and older are allowed to have alcohol in their dorm rooms as long as there are no students under 21 present. Takimoto said that should Proposition 19 pass, a new marijuana policy might be similar.

But students 21 and over hoping to get high legally on campus should know that Proposition 19 prohibits smoking cannabis in public places — which may, Newman said, include the entire university campus.

“If the bill passes, it wouldn’t entitle students to light up in their (residential) halls,” Takimoto said.

UC Considers Online Courses The Question of Quality

Christopher Edley, dean of UC Berkeley School of Law, first presented the plan to the UC Commission on the Future in March.

The pilot project entails first raising around $6 million in private donations then asking UC faculty to design and submit proposals for fully online versions of classes they currently teach.

The 25 to 40 online classes would be large, general education classes .

If the classes prove successful, the university could expand the number of online classes across the system.

For a cash-strapped university undergoing numerous, often tumultuous changes meant to mitigate years worth of losses in state funding — the latest being a $637 million reduction for the 2009-10 fiscal year — the proposal is being greeted by some as a novel way to increase revenue but the program has proven controversial.

Since it was announced, the project has received praise from both UC officials and members of the UC Board of Regents who say it is a way for the university to corner the market in the growing field of online education, as well as criticism from faculty members who say the program, if rushed and not put through thorough scrutiny, could compromise the university’s educational quality.

Despite those concerns, Edley has championed a quick move to online class, stating throughout his presentations to both the Board of Regents and the commission that the financial problems facing the UC have no end in sight and the university will not be able keep pace with growing enrollment

demand.

Data from the UC Office of the President says the UC could face an enrollment gap of around 45,700 students by 2020 if funding from the state does not increase. Edley told the board at their July meeting that it would only cost the university $20 million to serve 25,000 full-time students around the world through online classes — and possibly bring in around $180 million in revenue.

By comparison, creating the physical infrastructure to serve 11,000 students — about the enrollment goal for UC Merced — would cost $1.8 billion. “We have the opportunity to show everyone else how to (develop online courses),� said Regent Sherry Lansing at the July meeting. “This should be one of our highest priorities. We cannot wait.�

Though the pilot received a key endorsement from the UC Academic Council, the administrative arm of the Academic Senate, in late spring, the council has opposed more recent

Defines Faculty Hiring

by Alisha Azevedo Contributing Writer

Following years of diminishing state financial support, UC campuses are struggling to balance the potential negative effects of faculty downsizing on the university’s quality with the demands of a growing student population.

While some UC faculty and officials see faculty reduction as a strategic move to bring current faculty salaries to market rate by using money that would have been used to fund new faculty salaries, others view it as a risky plan that could compromise the university’s academic prowess.

A recommendation to downsize new faculty recruitment was one of three narrowly passed by the UC Academic Council and addressed at the UC Commission on the Future’s June meeting. UC President Mark Yudof and UC Board of Regents Chairman Russell Gould referred the recommendations to the Academic Senate for review from each campus division before the council addresses the recommendations again in November.

The 11.2 percent average gap between UC faculty salaries and those of eight comparative institutions as well as lack of state funding necessitate limiting faculty replacement caused by retirements or other separations, according to the recommendation.

However, the recommendations state downsizing leads to increased studentfaculty ratios and decreased research.

Commission members expressed concern that downsizing would impact university effectiveness, according to Henry Powell, former chair of the Academic Senate for the last academic year.

Input from the senate will be used

to explore the potential execution of downsizing further, according to Mary Croughan, commission member and former chair of the Academic Senate. “They’re hoping the faculty can arrive on a consensus on their priorities and come forward with individual recommendations so they can be evaluated rather than lumped together,� she said. “I would be surprised if downsizing passed, but I would be less surprised if maintaining current faculty passed.�

The university’s troubled pension plan and faculty salary lag present serious hiring challenges, according to UC Irvine Associate Professor Peter Krapp, chair of the University Committee on Planning and Budget.

An additional $100 million will be required to bring faculty salaries up to market rate this year, while a 20-year freeze on pension contributions leaves a hole of billions of dollars, according to Krapp. “When people aren’t paid what they could be paid, they leave,� he said. “Berkeley and San Diego are hiring between 40 and 70 people each – that seems like an odd thing, since we can barely afford what we have now – why should we add more? We should try to live within our means. But other campuses feel the peer pressure.�

UC Berkeley instituted a two-year hiring lull in 2008 which reduced faculty from 1,500 to 1,400 members, saving over $15 million per year in salaries and benefits as well as $30 million to $40 million in one-time hiring packages, according to George Breslauer, campus executive vice chancellor and provost. The university now plans to replace faculty as

Voters will choose to approve $210 million in bonds to repair aging facilities throughout Berkeley Unified School District.

As Local Schools Falter, District Asks Voters for Needed Funds

by Soumya Karlamangla Contributing Writer

Though years of severe budget cuts have stripped the Berkeley Unified School District of dozens of educational programs, district officials will be asking city ONLINE SLIDESHOW voters this No- See photos of Berkeley vember to fund Unified School District’s $210 million aging infrastructure. worth of building projects in the district.

The money will come from a bond that would not alleviate any of the burden from the state budget cuts — estimated to cost the district $3.14 million in the current fiscal year — which have forced the district to cut early childcare and pre-school programs.

District officials are advocating for the passage of the bond in order to improve upon the quality of several of the district’s buildings which they have characterized as not up to safety standards. But some community members are upset over the lack of funding for the educational programs which they consider more important.

“Not enough of it is geared towards

education,” said Berkeley resident Marie Bowman said. “We don’t need to focus on superdeluxe administration buildings. I think they have not been very thoughtful about what they’re doing.”

Traditionally, the state does not provide funds for maintenance, so the district must ask voters to approve bond measures to fund facilities renovations, according to district superintendent Bill Huyett. The projects which the bond would fund include a new building at Berkeley High School with 15 classrooms, three of which would be equipped with science lab facilities.

“We’ve had a long term project to rebuild the high school,” Huyett said.

“In addition to that, (the bond) provides classrooms for elementary schools where we need them and it provides money for science and technology classrooms.”

If the school bond does not pass, there is no other money source to fund the projects so they would all have to be put off.

District Spokesperson Mark Coplan said a survey taken about six months ago showed more than 80 percent of Berkeley voters for the bond measure.

Other projects which would be financed by the bond include demolish-

ing a seismically unsafe building, retrofitting a bridge at the high school to meet earthquake safety standards, constructing a field at Derby street for the Berkeley High School baseball team to practice at and installing solar panels.

Currently, about half of the school’s 3,200 students attend at least one class in one of the school’s 11 portable classrooms and there are not enough laboratory areas for science teachers at the school, according to Cathy Campbell, president of Berkeley Federation of Teachers.

In 2000, Berkeley voters passed Measure AA with at least a 2/3 majority approval, which was a similar facilities bond. Although it is being presented as a new bond, the funds from the new measure will go towards completing similar, if not the same projects, that began with Measure AA. Despite the failure of Measure C in June, which would have provided $22.5 million in bonds for the renovation of city pools, supporters of the school measure say that voters have always provided funds for education at the ballot box.

“We’ve received endorsements from all of the city council members, (and) all of the school board members,” Campbell said. “A lot of people are coming

forward.”

Last year’s high school PTSA Vice President Mark Van Kriekan said he is sure Berkeley voters will support the bond and would be “surprised if the Berkeley voters didn’t pass this.”

He said though educational programs, like the ones that are threatened by state budget cuts, are of prime importance, but facilities maintenance should not be ignored.

Lew Jones, district director of facilities, said Berkeley residents pay around $150 of every $100,000 of assessed property value annually as a result of other school bond measures, including the Berkeley Schools Excellence Program bond which maintains small classroom sizes.

If the new bond is passed, taxpayers would not pay more than $172.80 of every $100,000 of assessed property value annually, about $22.80 more than they already pay, according to the official bond measure.

“The way this is structured financially is that ... tax payers for the bond will not pay more than they have in the past,” Huyett said.

If passed, funds will also be directed toward the demolition and rebuilding of a maintenance building at Russell

and Oregon Streets that is currently not earthquake safe.

“It’s a brick structure that’s not sound,” Coplan said. “And the superintendent is very uncomfortable, and the board as well, in having staff work in the facilities.”

He said the district has been pushing to keep all district buildings at the highest earthquake safety level, which is one of the reasons seismic projects started originally over 10 years ago.

Also on the November ballot is a parcel tax up for renewal. The parcel tax, called “Berkeley Schools Facilities, Safety and Maintenance Act of 2010” funds school and ground maintenance in the district. The measure includes a 6.46¢ per square foot tax for residential buildings.

Bowman said the parcel tax was akin to a “blank check” because there are no specified money allocations.

She added that although she sees problems with both measures, she thinks they will pass.

“The neighbors have paid for the rebuilding for the Berkeley schools, not the government,” Coplan said.

Local Stores Give Way to Finance Woes

by Tomer Ovadia

Daily Cal Staff Writer Succumbing to pressure from the cash-strapped ASUC student government, two long-time vendors left the Bear’s Lair Food Court this summer after declining to accept new lease terms that would have more than doubled their rent.

Healthy Heavenly Foods and Taqueria El Tacontento will be replaced

by Subway and Saigon Eats — both scheduled to open late September — culminating a year-and-a-half-long struggle which clashed emotional pleas against the uncompromising ASUC Store Operations Board and uncovered what almost all parties involved have acknowledged to be significant flaws in the operations of the board.

The overwhelming majority of the board’s members — which includes elected and non-elected students as well as campus officials — prioritized the student government’s financial situation, heeding dire warnings from ASUC Auxiliary officials that the student government — which controls an approximately $1.6 million annual budget — could slide into a financial calamity similar to the one it experienced in 1998, when debts forced the creation of the Auxiliary to help oversee the student government’s finances.

A minority of the board, as well as student activists supporting the two vendors, emphasized the value of small immigrant-owned businesses that have been around for a long time. Taqueria

El Tacontento and Healthy Heavenly Foods have been in the food court for 21 and 19 years, respectively.

The controversy has divided the student government’s two major parties, with Student Action members emphasizing finances and CalSERVE advocating on behalf of the two vendors.

Because last year’s ASUC president and executive vice president — positions which both hold a seat on the board — were members of Student Action, the proposal to more than double the two vendors’ rent easily succeeded.

This is in contrast to the all-CalSERVE 2008-09 administration, which narrowly defeated the effort to bring Panda Express to campus.

And with Student Action members holding the two positions again this upcoming academic year, the chance of a shift in the board’s approach to overseeing businesses is slim.

ASUC President Noah Stern, who sits on the board, said a balance must be struck between Berkeley culture, business ethics and the generation of revenue for use by student groups.

“Maybe one store isn’t as Berkeley as another, but as a food court, it has to match all these interests,” he said. “I think (Subway and Saigon Eats) balance those issues.”

But although the controversy has come to a close, the issues it has highlighted with the structure and operation of the board have yet to be addressed.

Nish Rajan, the chair of the board during the last academic year, has pointed to the fact that each of the board mem-

developments and recommendations from the commission on the future regarding the pilot program.

When the council gave its endorsement, they said it was contingent on the use of private funds for the project as well as the delivery of a vigorous review process. But expanded recommendations prepared by the office of the president and presented to the commission in June say, when tackling the issue of online education, the “UC should be first, as soon as possible, and our ambitions should err on the side of boldness.”

These new calls have raised concern

among the academic council, who released a response to the expanded recommendation criticizing the expedited process on August.

“Before proceeding beyond the pilot project, the University must evaluate course quality and cost effectiveness,” the council’s response reads. “The proposed timetable and scale in this recommendation are unrealistic and incompatible with a rigorous process of evaluation.”

The pilot will ultimately be evaluated by the Academic Senate before it can expand in size and scale, but faculty groups have already come out against it.

An interim report from the UC Berkeley Faculty Association said the

needed, with 67 new searches planned for this year, he said.

The council operates on an advisory basis, and several campuses authorized faculty hiring for the year prior to the downsizing recommendations. The preliminary nature of the council’s recommendation allows it to become more flexible based on campus input before proposal to the regents, according to Breslauer.

“In any case, even if adopted, (the regents) will not necessarily bind the campuses to common targets,” he said in an e-mail. “Some campuses may choose to downsize their faculty; others may choose not to do so. The UC system consists of 10 distinct campuses. Very few ‘templates’ are applicable to all of them.”

Robin Garrell, who chaired UCLA’s Academic Senate last year, presented another set of recommendations to the Academic Assembly and the council to rival the original recommendations.

“The UCLA statement is a little more flexible in that it recognizes we have 10 campuses with quite different needs, so what the statement suggests is that each campus needs to develop a realistic plan,” she said.

UC San Diego will conduct 40 new faculty searches for critical positions lost in the past few years, according to Bill Hodgkiss, former chair of the campus’ academic senate last year. Other campuses including UC Davis, UCLA and UC Irvine will also increase hiring on a lower scale.

Anticipating 1,800 new students in the next three years, UC Merced plans to hire 50 faculty members in that pe-

bers have other responsibilities to attend to in their positions in the ASUC or campus administration.

An investigation by The Daily Californian in December revealed members on both sides inaccurately citing or struggling to understand the financial figures involved in the negotiations.

The board also struggles with a lack of institutional knowledge as students members graduate and campus officials leave, and decisions previous members intended for the long-term are subject to the political differences and lack of memory of new members.

When asked Monday about the doubling of the vendors’ rents, Stern—who was a senator during the peak of the controversy—said he did not remember what his position had been. Executive Vice President Nanxi Liu, the other elected undergraduate member of the board, was not involved in the controversy prior to her election in April. ”It’s tricky because of the turnover,” Stern said. “And it’s not just the students. It’s also the administrators.

There’s a lack of memory of what the purpose is.”

In May 2009, the operations board forgave The Daily Californian a portion of its rent for the office it leases. As part of the agreement, a non-political student member of the board sits on The Daily Californian’s Board of Operations, which has no control over the paper’s editorial content.

online endeavor could ultimately prove a “boondoggle” for the university if it proceeds without proper evaluation.

The move towards online education is not unique in the higher education industry, according to Patrick Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, though he said if the system can overcome the arguments surrounding the move towards online learning, it can develop leading courses.

“The argument can become almost ideological,” he said. “I think the real argument is: how can this be added to all the other tools the university has to educate people.”

riod according to Martha Conklin, who chaired UC Merced’s Academic Senate last year.

Other campuses such as UC Santa Barbara lie in wait for a state budget before hiring. UC Riverside has not authorized hiring despite a need for new faculty, according to Tony Norman, former chair of the campus’ academic senate.

According to Yale Braunstein, who chaired UC Berkeley’s Academic Senate Faculty Welfare Committee for the last year, campuses should continue making hiring decisions but seek further direction from the university for downsizing.

“It’s more important to keep quality and pay reasonable than it is to have any kind of growth in the faculty, even if it means a small decrease,” he said. “You can always hire, but you can’t build back the quality of the university overnight.”

Athletics Adapts to Changes An

Daily Cal Staff Writer Every summer, each Pac-10 football team prints out new media guides for the upcoming season.

Bound with glossy covers, each guide is filled with over 100 pages’ worth of player and coach bios, team history and statistics.

When all the booklets were laid along a table during last month’s Pac-10 Football Media Day at the Rose Bowl, the guides made by two University of California campuses stood out the most for the thriftiness of their production.

As part of a move to limit costs in light of recent budget cuts, Cal did not print out physical editions of its 2010 media guide, instead making it available online.

So when copies were provided for journalists in Pasadena, Calif., running back Shane Vereen and linebacker Mike Mohamed were printed out on ordinary paper — the entire stack held together by a single staple in the top-left corner.

Cal’s at least had color splashed over on the front and back covers; UCLA stuck with black ink through every page.

Contrast that with USC’s media

guide. The Trojans rolled out its signature glossy book complete with a towering cover photo of coach Lane Kiffin.

Even this is but a shadow of the guide’s former self. (In its heyday just a few years ago, it was hardcover and embossed.) Stanford’s guide was similar, while the rest of the conference mostly gave their releases the spiral-bound treatment.

Yes, they’re just books, but a canary is just one bird in a coal mine. When the Cal football team took its annual trip to Los Angeles last year, for example, it opted for a bus ride south to play UCLA instead of its customary charter flight.

“We have a responsibility to do our part,” coach Jeff Tedford said of the change. “If I felt like it was a situation where it was going to affect our preparation negatively, it’s not even something they would ask us to do.”

Things haven’t gotten much better since, as some in the Cal athletics community have begun to prepare for imminent cuts.

The Bears won’t be boarding another bus for another six-hour sojourn this October — they have more advance notice of their 12:30 p.m. kick-off time against USC — but it’s clear that belts are tightening all around campus. And while Cal hasn’t gone as far as to cut any sports entirely, teams have started to feel the strain.

Athletics Under Scrutiny A year ago, a NCAA report revealed that the Cal athletics department had been running massive debts, staying afloat due to campus subsidies.

As class sections were being slashed, teams were accumulating millions of dollars in deficits. $31 million in previous loans were forgiven in 2007.

Combined with the amount of money already allocated towards athletics, reports say Cal has received an annual subsidy between $7 million and $14

million in recent years.

A faculty task force, which made an interim report this summer, and an advisory council of four faculty and four alumni representatives were both assembled this spring by Chancellor Robert Birgeneau. The latter’s final report was released last month; it recommended that support for athletics be cut down to $5 million per year by 2014, along with suggestions for budget control and increased fundraising.

Birgeneau, who will determine how cuts will be made, has not yet given his final decision.

Teams Adapt to Cuts The Cal softball team has never had the luxury of locker rooms through its 35 years of existence, at times resorting to changing in cars. Those rooms will finally come with when the Student-Athlete High Performance Center is finished as part of the Memorial Stadium retrofit.

Despite its success — 25 consecutive postseason appearances — the team is accustomed to limited facilities. Levine-Fricke Field, its home site, is still without lights. As further cuts come, these Bears will look to try and purchase their flights earlier and negotiate better rates with hotels. They will likely travel with fewer players.

“There’s slowly been some decreases,” coach Diane Ninemire said. “We’ve adapted to that pretty well, but we’ve had some pretty big cuts now. I’m sure that it will impact us in some way, somehow, but we just have to keep doing the best that we can do with the funds that we are given.”

The wait-and-see approach is a stark contrast from that of the Cal men’s gymnastics team, which — with fears of being cut completely — has been collecting donations and letters to send to Birge-

Jeff totten/fi le

A tradition of campus financial support for athletics faces scrutiny and teams try to adapt to a new future with more constraints neau. The team has also b e e n without a coach since the end of last season after the retirement and resignation of their head and assistant coaches, respectively.

C a l athletics has already planned for a $2.4 million budget shortfall this coming year regardless of further cuts, said athletic director Sandy Barbour. More than 20 positions in the department have been eliminated, while travel costs and recruitment will also be reduced.

How the changes could affect the competitiveness of existing teams remains to be seen.

“It’s hard to say right now,” Ninemire said. “As far as I’m concerned, that’s not going to happen because I’m the kind of coach that’s going to make it happen one way or another regardless of what my funding is.

“I’ve got too much invested in this program personally to ever let that happen.”

Spending In Order to Save: Campus Seeks Efficiency

by Katie Nelson

Contributing Writer With the onset of the fall semester, the private consulting firm Bain & Co. will continue its ten month collaboration with UC Berkeley to streamline campus operations beyond its original time span and despite the initiative’s cost.

Chancellor Robert Birgeneau and other campus officials have lauded the firm’s efforts throughout the duration of the project, dubbed Operational Excellence, stating that an outside viewpoint has allowed for a necessary examination of the campus’ overall structure and operations. But some argue that the consulting firm’s presence on campus is unnecessarily costly and contrary to the character of the public institution.

Originally hired for a time frame of six-months at a cost to campus of $3 million, the firm began their assessment of departmental structure and operations in October 2009. When the firm released its final diagnostic report in late April, it suggested the campus could save $75 million should Birgeneau follow their recommendations.

Two weeks later, Birgeneau affirmed the majority of the recommendations in the report, which focused on five cost-saving areas: student services, procurement, operational simplification, information technology and energy management.

To implement the recommendations, the administration will assemble of a total of seven teams, two of which — information technology and procurement – have already been created. As a result, Birgeneau has asked Bain to continue through January 2011, costing the campus an additional $1.7 million for the firm to assist in the process.

“As with all other streams of work in (Operational Excellence), we are

in the design phase of the work,” said Associate Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs Claire Holmes in an e-mail.

“Each plan will ultimately be developed by the department. It is just beginning now.”

This is not the first time that the firm has assisted universities struggling with budget problems. In 2009, the firm was hired by both the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Cornell University in their attempts to achieve potential savings.

However, neither campus has disclosed just how much money went into their respective projects. UNC was privately funded by an anonymous alumnus, and Cornell has declined to state how much money is being directed toward their “Reimagining Cornell” campaign.

The firm’s last interaction with the UC occurred in 1997, when the firm was hired to asses cost-saving areas within the university — ultimately, a merger between the UC San Francisco and Stanford University hospitals was deemed appropriate. However, two years later, the project collapsed and was abandoned due to lack of financial support on both sides.

Because the administration has decided to invest more with the project, students like sophomore Jonathan Ma are concerned that while the firm’s professional opinion was a “plus” for the campus in terms of their “track record,” the amount of money being spent was substantial.

“I do think we have a strong chance of saving $75 million, but I also think that spending almost $5 million to do it is a lot,” he said. “I don’t know what the odds are of saving $75 million with a firm or with students. In the end, I think all of us would like that kind of money but we are all unsure of the odds.”

With Drop in Funds, UC Alters Character

In the last few years, the University of California has seen many changes. Campuses and the university as a whole have attempted to grapple with drastic reductions in state funding. Students wrestled with increasing student fees. Faculty and staff have seen furloughs and administrators have sought to make do with limited resources.

Many see the character of California’s most prominent public institution in flux, citing these changes as an indicator that something significant must be done to plug the financial hole. Few see the UC’s current situation as an acceptable status quo.

While nearly all the changes have been contentious, the university’s shrinking relative allotment from the state and the increase in nonresident admissions, have drawn considerable attention from the public.

Over the last several years, these have seen an inverse relationship. Nonresident admission rates have overall increased while the funds the UC receives from the state — as a percentage of the overall state budget — has shriveled. While the two are not necessarily linked, they provide an indicative picture of the changing unviersity.

DEFERRED MAINTENANCE

By Anna Vignet

Campus resorts to quick fixes for expensive maintenance problems

Pumping caulk in the exterior walls of Pimentel Hall temporarily fixes leaks.

Instead of repairing leaky roofs, sheet-metal drip pans are installed in numerous buildings across campus, including this one in Pimentel Hall.

Crumbling concrete castings that adorn the walls of Haviland Hall are held in place by netting instead of being recast and replaced.

A leaky rubber membrane beneath the plaza in Latimer Hall drips water into office space below. It cannot be replaced because the project will cost $10 million.

FALL ORIENTATION The Daily Californian

After years of dealing with strict budget constraints, many campus maintenance projects are falling by the wayside.

But with funding demands far outstripping available funds, numerous projects across the campus — ranging from leaking roofs to faulty heating systems — cannot be completed in the current fiscal environment.

“If something is functional but it’s marginally functional, money is so stretched that we can’t usually get to those kinds of things,” said Peter Lin, a university Physical Plant employee who runs the campus’s Deferred Maintenance Program, which handles maintenance projects cost-

ing more than (around) $50,000.

Price tags for some of the projects could rise as high as $10 million, according to Lin’s estimates, but the program currently receives only $5 million annually, forcing difficult decisions about which projects to undertake, he said.

Lin estimates approximately $150 million in high priority backlog projects under the program, while a university estimate for the total cost of all maintenance backlogged under the program stands at $650 million.

Water damage in Tan Hall (below) and the Valley Life Sciences Building threaten the electrical circuitry.

Water penetrating the walls of Pimentel Hall drips onto science equipment stored in the building.

Leaking walls disrupt a switchbox controlling the fans of the heating system of Tan Hall, a project carrying a price tag of at least $150,000.

EAST BAY: Literary Surprises Abound in East Bay

Cal: A Dream Deferred

Have an urge to enrich your life with meaningful art? It might be tempting to hop on over to the other side of the Bay for a jaunt to one of San Francisco’s many art meccas. But the cost of BART and Muni suggests that it’s probably time to consider other, more local options.

Try UC Berkeley’s very own Berkeley Art Museum: It’s located right by campus and admission is free for Cal students. Current exhibitions include architect Thom Faulders’ BAMscape, an interactive 1500 square feet of brightly colored waves, as well as the striking “Hauntology.”

There’s also the newly revamped Oakland Museum of California, just a $1.75 BART ride away. The Pixar exhibit alone is worth the trip, as it features over 500 pieces of original art.

Even with the plethora of local choices, San Francisco is not entirely out of the question for students on a budget. Take advantage of their special deals. SFMOMA, for instance, is free the first Tuesday of every month and half-price on Thursday evenings.­­­­­­ —Cynthia Kang

People around Berkeley are tired of settling. They’re tired of Emerald and Las Vegas Bowls and they’re tired of second, third and worse place. Some people look back and point to how bad Cal football used to be. Isn’t it nice to simply be better? For many, the answer’s no. The Cal football team just isn’t good enough anymore.

“The Year” has slipped away several times in the last decade or so, it seems.

It’s bad enough that coach Jeff Tedford has been subject to backlash from his constituency. They’re tired of being second-best. They want to be national powers.

And if that’s what the fans want, they’re not going to get it.

There’s fantasy and there’s reality, and Cal football falls somewhere in between. The fantasy is national championships and roses and five-star recruits.

The reality is a university falling apart and an administration with a commitment to saving what’s good and essential about Berkeley — and that doesn’t involve its athletic programs. The truth is that Cal football will, in the future, always be a coupling of the two.

Recent perennial championship contenders, teams like USC and Alabama and Florida, aren’t Cal, and I mean that in the best possible way. The Gators of the world can afford to do what they do. They’re stacked with cash, and academics don’t get in the way.

Cal is not that. It doesn’t prioritize sports. It has Nobel Prize winners and Poet Laureates — a Heisman trophy would be a footnote to those. The Crimson Tide drew over 91,000 to their spring game earlier in the year.

It’s not physically possible for the Bears to match that attendance at any game at Memorial during the regular season, let alone at a preseason intrasquad scrimmage.

The Cal athletic department has been the recipient of intense, vitriolic scrutiny in the last year, the kind you only see at a place like Berkeley. It’s been ugly and sometimes unfair, but it’s a testament to what matters on this campus.

To have sustained success, the kind that breeds dynasties, you need a culture that unabashedly puts football at or near the top of the list. Texas, Georgia, Florida, Auburn and Alabama were the top revenue-generating collegiate programs in the nation last year.

East Bay museums and bookstores, while not as well known, offer gems for those who look.

2010

The East Bay has long been a hotbed for writers of sci-fi, fantasy and horror, and though the Mission District’s Borderlands Books may boast high-profile readings and an impressive collection, Berkeley and Oakland counter with a one-two punch of great genre bookstores.

Berkeley’s beloved Other Change of Hobbit, recently relocated to south of Ashby BART, combines a great selection of books and other relevant media with expert help from the employees.

A bit further south in Rockridge, right next door to Semifreddi’s bakery, is another of the East Bay’s real hidden geek shopping treasures, Dark Carnival. The store is littered with oddities (assorted toys, vintage Doctor Who buttons), but you’ll hardly be distracted from the books. Dark Carnival is remarkably well-stocked, and it’s easy to lose track of time among the shelves, as you sift through the cyclopean assortment of Lovecraft-related lore or the latest horror bestsellers. For those less inclined to explore, Moe’s carries sci-fi, but anyone with an abiding interest in these genres would do well to hop on a bus or take a walk to these lessfrequented outposts. ­­­­­­—Sam Stander

Katie Dowd though, only two of the teams ranked in the top 10 also made U.S. News’ list of the top 50 best colleges (Texas and Georgia Tech). That’s the trade-off, and it doesn’t bother me that Cal doesn’t work that way.

This is not to say that the Bears will never win a Rose Bowl. The people who think that are fools. If we knew the outcome of every game, we’d never watch in the first place. Someday, old men will die happy after Cal wins big in Pasadena. But then the ripples on the pond will smooth out, and life will return to its usual tranquility.

College football is no longer comprises a handful of teams of uneven quality. There are too many programs that can out-spend and out-recruit Cal. Sometimes it’s done dirty, sometimes it’s done clean. Either way, modern college football is a full-time business with enough cash to always ensure that schools like Cal can only get brief glimpses of greatness.

We’re all afraid of what UC Berkeley will look like in 10 years. Will we look back at our alma mater and mourn it?

Will it be thriving but full of international students? We’ll probably find it somewhere in between — different, but still good and still worthwhile. At least, that’s what I hope.

It’s the same for football. Ten years from now, people will still be complaining about how the Bears never seem to get over the hump. But that’s OK. It’s not a sacrifice to put academics above athletics. It’s the reality that explains why Cal gets under your skin and stays there. Because it hurts to love a place like this, where idealism and reality battle every day. Just like in sports.

FALL ORIENTATION The Daily Californian

East Bay Provides Suitable Alternatives to San Francisco It’s not that there isn’t good used clothing in Berkeley, it’s just that the sheer volume of patrons on Telegraph deplete the pool of vintage clothes. Mars is a well-organized counterpart to sister store Clothes Contact (both owned by Retro City Fashions) on Valencia in SF’s Mission District. Clothes Contact sells everything by weight and has a fun “employee picks” rack. This more-fabric-equalsmore-money theory is common among the thrift stores in the East Bay. Sharks, a Berkeley vintage shop, does the same. It’s a small shop off Dwight, far enough down Telegraph that there aren’t as many annoying tourists.

There’s always Crossroads Trading Co. and Buffalo Exchange, on Shattuck and Telegraph respectively. Both chain stores also have locations on Haight Street in the city. Compared to Crossroads, Buffalo usually promises a more costly but successful shopping trip.

But one ought not to forget Goodwill. There’s a location on University, and one in Oakland. You have to dig but it’s well worth it to find that ’80s designer cocktail dress for seven dollars. Plus, their profits go to a good cause. Pay that shit forward — double thrift. ­­­­­­—Kalesa Ferrucci

When it comes to music in the Bay Area, it’s hard not to end up in San Francisco at some of its historic clubs and concert halls. But if you are trying to avoid that $7.30 BART ticket or that $6 bridge fare, there are some East Bay venues that showcase many of today’s finest musicians and buzziest new bands.

If you can’t make it out to the Great American Music Hall or The Warfield, Oakland’s Fox Theater gets some of the best acts in the Bay Area, with Bob Dylan and the Flaming Lips in their near future. Oakland also boasts the New Parish, which has Mos Def and Dave Chappelle in its 2010 guest book. And Yoshi’s in Oakland is a worthy counterpart to Yoshi’s SF. Cal Performances at Zellerbach Hall goes head-to-head with a handful of San Francisco’s more refined opera and playhouses, hosting renowned dance companies, world musicians, classical ensembles and traveling theater groups. The Freight and Salvage features bluegrass and folk, while Shattuck Down Low offers big names in hip-hop like Method Man and the GZA. Who knows, your favorite concert memories could be 10 minutes from your dorm. ­­­­­­—Hayley Hosman

Changes Loom Ahead For Cal Football Team THEN

NOW

memorial stadium

John Galen Howard designed the Campanile, the Greek Theater, Doe Library and Wheeler Hall with the aim of making Berkeley the “Athens of the West.” In 1923, he added a final structure to his vision — one that would have made the Olympians of old reel in wonder.

Memorial Stadium opened just in time for the 1923 Big Game (Cal won), and the 72,609 fans who came to see the contest set the record for the largest crowd to ever watch a football game on the West Coast. It’s been a storied and illustrious venue ever since.

Memorial’s been the stomping grounds of NFL talents, from DeSean Jackson to Steve Bartkowski, and it’s been home to legends like Pappy Waldorf and Joe Roth. It’s seen Cal teams go 1-10 and Cal teams that have gone to the Rose Bowl.

John Galen Howard himself couldn’t have guessed how much history his Colosseum in the Bay would bear witness to.

—Katie Dowd

Memorial Stadium has seen better days. And, in the future, it will see even better ones.

By now, we’ve all heard about the stadium retrofit and addition of the Student-Athlete High Performance Center. Soon, we’ll all see it. The High Performance Center promises top-flight facilities for the football team and 12 Olympic sports, all of which needed the upgrade.

The stadium retrofit itself — which will force the team to relocate to AT&T Park for its home games next year — is a true necessity. When the stadium was originally erected in 1923, it was constructed in segments connected by expansion joints to better withstand an earthquake.

Nearly 90 years later, it’s time to reinforce that technology and improve the facilities.

When it first opened, Memorial was instantly tabbed as an iconic West Coast stadium. The update will make people remember why.

—Katie Dowd Anna vignet/staff

After eight seasons of “bend but not break,” Bob Gregory broke his own tenure as the Cal defensive coordinator, departing to become a defensive assistant at Boise State. Cal fans harshly criticized Gregory’s defensive philosophy, but he enjoyed national success in the beginning of his career and was even named as a finalist for the Frank Broyles Award — given to the nation’s top assistant — in 2004.

The other departed coach is former tight ends and special teams coordinator Pete Alamar, who was fired after seven seasons on the Cal staff. One of the Bears’ most glaring weaknesses last year was kickoff coverage, and Alamar’s unit showed no signs of improvement throughout the year.

Despite churning out several successful tight ends — Craig Stevens, Cameron Morrah and Anthony Miller, to name three — Cal’s frequently terrible punt and kickoff coverage cost Alamar an eighth year at the special teams helm.

—Gabriel Baumgaertner

Coaching staff

A lot has been said about Clancy Pendergast’s defense is aggressive defense.

While the blitz-heavy tendencies of Cal’s new defensive coordinator is probably overblown, he will certainly be bringing more chance-taking schemes; he’ll need to implement them effectively to revive a secondary that was shredded a year ago — the Bears ranked 111th in pass defense.

There’s also the question of whether or not a younger linebacking corps has enough talent to sustain the 3-4 defense incorporated in 2008.

New special teams coordinator/tight ends coach Jeff Genyk hasn’t generated as much discussion, but kickers and punters have called him “passionate” and “a great motivator.” The former ESPN color analyst groomed a Lou Groza Award semifinalist at Eastern Michigan, and fans hope his experience carries over.

It’ll need to in order for him to turn around what was the Pac-10’s worst kicking unit.

—Jack Wang tim maloney/file

This past April, Cal running back Jahvid Best was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions.

Yet, Bears’ best pro prospect in 2010 was not even their highest drafted player — nor does he leave the biggest void.

Cal’s most pressing questions lie not at running back but on the defense, where the team must replace a considerable amount of experience.

Tyson Alualu was selected at 10th overall by the Jaguars after starting three consecutive years on the defensive line.

Cal must also replace three seasoned backs. For the first time in four years, Syd’Quan Thompson will not be there with his signature dreadlocks to cover the opponent’s best receiver.

And though they struggled during their senior seasons, safeties Brett Johnson and Marcus Ezeff combined with Thompson for 99 career starts — 13 of which comprised an excellent 2008 season.

—Ed Yevelev

players

Cal’s recruiting rebound in 2010 focused on upgrading two nagging needs: wide receiver and linebacker. As the season approaches, Cal’s new pass-catchers should bring the biggest impact — most notably Keenan Allen.

An elite high school safety, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound Allen converted to wideout and finishes fall camp as the starter opposite Marvin Jones.

Three other fast, athletic wideouts — Coleman Edmond, Kaelin Clay and Tevin Carter — will join him in the receiver rotation.

The Bears’ highly touted linebacker class will yield less immediate returns.

David Wilkerson and Nick Forbes are competing for playing time, but Cal lost a potential starter when five-star recruit Chris Martin transferred to Florida. Two other freshmen, Chris McCain and Cecil Whiteside, are grayshirting.

In the secondary, Steve Williams and Marc Anthony have emerged as the top new candidates.

He makes sincere confessions while flexing his satirical muscles, unrolling the details of his depression, temper-tantrums and physical ailments like musty, unwashed yoga mats. But rather than attempting to mask the unpleasant odor of past experiences, Pollack humorously and openly acknowledges his imperfections as he outlines his feats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yet my bitterness, fear, and horrible attitude persisted. I ripped off my shirt in public and emptied whiskey bottles onto my head. Why was I this angry?â&#x20AC;?

Cal Shakes Interprets ‘Macbeth’ For Modern Horror Film Fans

by Jill Cowan Contributing Writer

O

h, Hamlet, Hamlet, Hamlet, Hamlet. The vampire army has taken the city!” says Othello.

“We must check the castle tower and make sure that no vampire have gotten into our ... home base,” solemnly replies Hamlet.

So, that’s not Shakespeare. It’s from a sketch by the Whitest Kids U’ Know, a mildly offensive The violence comedy troupe, and it’s funny because, becomes a well, obviously, pastiche of vampire armies.

Also because brutality.

Shakespeare plays Banquo’s never, ever have them. Vampire murder is a armies and home bases are recent mob killing, and developments in a the battle culture that loves nothing if not scenes are action and special camo-clad effects.

The truth is, modern despite a modern warfare. audience’s supposed ability to connect with the Bard’s characters on a deep psychological level, there are usually still barriers to our immediate understanding.

By sheer virtue of time, you can’t expect to walk into a conventional Shakespeare production and actually be thrilled by the “ghosts” and “witches” when the last thing you saw was a highly realistic CGI-enhanced vampire army attacking home base ... in 3-D. There’s a reason ol’ Bill loved a good meta-joke — the dude knew the limitations of his medium.

All of these potential pitfalls serve to enhance the success of director Joel Sass’ vision of “Macbeth.” Most adaptations of “Macbeth” nowadays opt to play up the dark comedy or characters’ internal struggles, rather than risk too literal an interpretation and fail.

Sass’ “Macbeth” is both legitimately frightening and a fairly straightforward presentation of the text, though its imagery is still recognizable enough to inspire visceral reactions in even today’s audiences.

The opening scene sets the creepy tone as the three Wyrd Sisters drift noiselessly onto the stage. The set is a

dilapidated hospital with distinctive haunted, out-of-use loony bin decor, complete with broken windows and dirty tiles.

What’s truly terrifying about this scene, however, are the sisters themselves. First of all, they’re faceless, and everyone knows that faceless things are scary because you can’t see them emote. Their whispery recorded voices play over the speakers, saying things that could be kind of funny-sounding if they were being said by things with faces. Like “hurlyburly.”

On top of that, the witches are dressed as nurse-nun-things in white habits that billow eerily in the real breeze blowing through the outdoor Bruns Amphitheater, where the real moon is shrouded by real fog overhead, and real owls hoot somewhere in the night.

It’s an effective precursor to the power struggle and violence that follows, and in later scenes the violence becomes a pastiche of brutality.

Banquo’s (Nicholas Pelczar) murder is a mob killing, and the battle scenes are camo-clad modern warfare. In one scene, Ross (Delia MacDougall) is tortured in a decidedly un-Shakespearean manner, but it works because it allows the audience to experience the suspense and anguish in a way that more closely approximates the way the Bard might have intended.

The performances, on the other hand, are standard Shakespeare fare.

Aside from the aforementioned female Ross, there isn’t really much toying with gender, despite the fact that much of the dialogue is an extended penis joke.

While too much emphasis on the gender anxiety in the play might have been gimmicky, the completely straight-faced readings of the characters came off as a little uninteresting at times.

This isn’t to say that the cast was weak — it just might have been nice to see a Lady Macbeth with an inventive twist, or a Banquo who’s got something going on other than unimpeachable saintliness.

Ultimately, though, the ensemble meshes well together. The show feels like a horror movie, except with actual depth. Which means great fun for theatrical thrill-seekers.

‘Wound’ Finds Resonance in Homer’s Great Trojan Epic

by Jennafer McCabe Contributing Writer

Red-handed. The faceless Wyrd Sisters prophesize Macbeth and Banquo’s fate in Cal Shakes’ production of Shakespeare’s violent classic ‘Macbeth,’ and Lady Macbeth (Stacy Ross) and Macbeth (Jud Williford) end up with gallons of blood on their hands.

hotgun Players’ newest production, part one of “The Salt Plays,” entitled “In the Wound,” is a theatrical accomplishment: The company has aptly chosen John Hinkel Park’s outdoor amphitheater to perform the Greek tragedy, filling the venue with an extensive, energetic and talented ensemble cast. In addition to the numerous challenges that come with an open-air performance, the piece sets up other obstacles for itself by adopting a nearly exhausted subject (warfare’s spiritual, psychological and emotional repercussions) and adapting the most famous war tale ever told (“The Iliad”).

Writer/director Jon Tracy’s two-part series scrutinizes the chaos of combat through this sensitive and relevant reenactment of the infamous “epic” battle. Weaving allusions from World War II and our own nearly decadelong Iraq War, Tracy balances his political commentary with an appropriately humorous tone and skillfully preserves the integrity of “The Iliad.”

Hera, Athena and Aphrodite — the three competitive goddesses allegedly to blame for the legendary war — first appear as nurses in Red Cross uniforms. The female trio heralds the start of the production by mounting individual towers, ferociously drumming as Agamemnon sacrifices his innocent daughter to win the gods’ favor.

Providing a decidedly female narrative frame, the nurses/goddesses serve as a makeshift Chorus: Their witty banter and poignant commentary knit the production together by guiding the audience and interacting with the inconsolable soldiers throughout the prolonged war. As the story nears its predictable end, the goddesses’ collective guilt for the casualty toll acquires a universal resonance; their inability to aid the traumatized warriors becomes a lamentation for humanity’s collective futility amidst the inevitability of war.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cruelâ&#x20AC;? Odysseus of Ithaca emerges as a veritable â&#x20AC;&#x153;modernâ&#x20AC;? man, expressing existential doubt and marveling at the senseless destruction he has orchestrated. The esteemed warrior of Homerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s epic is absent from Tracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rendering, instead casting the classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;heroâ&#x20AC;? as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;social mathematicianâ&#x20AC;? and bureaucratic puppeteer. Despite his ethical crisis, he is responsible for the first innocent sacrifice and all the deaths that follow, suggesting that the vast discrepancy between a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conscience and his commission has, perhaps, always existed. Describing his vague role, Odysseus tenuously states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get things done. I change the rules, or experiment with them â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to explain.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Woundâ&#x20AC;? is a visual pastiche of warfare history, exquisitely expressed through the costuming.

Simultaneously situating the action in the not-too-distant past when technology revolutionized brutality and channeling Hellenistic attire, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Woundâ&#x20AC;? strategically circumvents direct visual references to present-day conflicts.

At times, the characters are reduced to mouth-pieces for an anti-war agenda; overall, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Woundâ&#x20AC;? brings to light the transformations â&#x20AC;&#x153;honorableâ&#x20AC;? battle has undergone since the beginning of Western civilization and creates an intimately complex, provocative portrait of the characters that have traditionally been dismissed as faceless pawns of gods, poets and men behind the destruction that they themselves will never witness.

The Daily Californian ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

SF Theater Pub Presents Boozy Local Shorts

by Hannah Jewell Daily Cal Staff Writer

Y

ou’re back at school. You’ve already locked eyes with a pretty little thing over the beer pong table at a frat party. You want to know more. Being morally above the ritual of casual anonymous hook-ups, you need an idea for a date.

Thankfully, the San Francisco Theater Pub is there to help. Their “Pint Sized Plays Festival,” showing in the crowded setting of the Cafe Royale at 800 Post Street, is just what the doctor ordered. But only the sort of doctor who gets embroiled in malpractice suits for promoting liver damage. As its title would suggest, the show consists of a series of short plays each designed, in theory, to last as long as it takes to drink a pint of beer.

What better setting for a first date?

Something that says, “I’m cultured, but want to get you liquored up before the show’s over and I actually have to talk to you.”

Wait. Let’s all stop for a minute and think about the ingenuity of this idea: Free theater, reasonably-priced beer.

It seems strange to try and critique a show or a company devoted to such a noble cause. So I won’t. The short plays are by local writers, for better or

for worse. Don’t go expecting a Tonyworthy performance, do go expecting to drink beer.

Highlights of the evening included short play “Hot or Not” by Jeremy Cole, directed by Claire Rice. A simple concept of two people arguing over the relative hotness or notness of a third rendered hilarious by the enthusiastic acting of Tea Toplak, John Caldon and Kurt Cotton.

Nearing the end of the night, “Pint Sized Plays” had descended — or perhaps ascended — into a no-holdsbarred celebration of, well, beer, reaching something of a climax in “Pigs” by Elana McKernan. Directed by Meg O’Connor, this scene consisted of actor Rob Ready stalking into the middle of the pub, spitting repeatedly, chugging a pint of beer, and marching off stage after cursing about “pigs.” Cheers shook the building.

In “Pound It” by Bennett Fisher, directed by Alex Curtis, actors Cooper Carlson and Joe Scheppers rounded off the night in an over-the-top exuberant dialogue concerning, well, beer. Things were a little fuzzy by that point.

Although talent varied between them, all actors proved their impeccable technique in chugging beer--they appear to have been trained in the rowdiest of fraternity parties. What’s

yoga styles. Going between ultra-trendy L.A. studios, a 24-hour yoga marathon and, eventually, Tibet, he becomes a participator but not a dogmatic disciple of the practice and its spiritual roots. A generation X “Alternadad,” as the title of his previous memoir proclaims, the skeptical attitude of Pollack’s narration allows the reader to observe yoga’s various incarnations without feeling like he or she’s being indoctrinated.

Despite his relentless self-mockery, Pollack becomes a yoga dilettante, eager to absorb wisdom from any studio he can find. His apprehension and initial awkwardness become the equiva-

lent of Styrofoam blocks and straps for readers who seek a gentler introduction to the discipline rather than a bombardment of hippie-dippie propaganda.

Being a carnivorous, baseball-watching stoner doesn’t warrant excluding yourself from the benefits of yoga and meditation, “Stretch” trumpets.

Last Friday, Pollack’s book tour made a stop in Berkeley at Moe’s Books. Yoga mat in tow, Pollack read plot-relevant passages straightforwardly, occasionally stopping to make self-critical asides to a receptive, chuckling audience. Rather than playing a fictional character or drunkenly burning books such as “Everything is Illuminated” as he had done on past tours, this aging party boy

more, the SF Theater Pub crew are equal-opportunity drinkers, granting equal access to their gullets for any and all brands of beer, from Red Label to Guinness.

Since the whole bar serves as a stage, seemingly random people spring up at the start of each scene and reveal themselves as actors. It’s impossible to spot them even by their stage makeup, hidden amongst those San Francisco youths who worry that people won’t be able to find their eyes unless they are solidly demarcated by a centimeter of eyeliner.

What’s more, the pub’s setup guarantees that wherever you decide to sit or stand, you will have at least one amazing view of a performance, and you will miss at least one performance entirely. Luckily the pub offers other amusements to tide you through the less visible acts.

Should you deem your liver hardy enough to attend a showing of “Pint Sized Plays” — and should you decide to try and drink a whole pint per play, as the challenge goes — make sure to arrive more than a half hour early to the Cafe Royale at 800 Post Street to secure a seat. Lord knows you’ll be needing it by the ninth act.

appears to have set his gimmicks aside.

Pollack did, however, regale the audience with three yoga poses by request, tipping his torso over into half-moon and executing a well-aligned headstand amid the bookshelves. His placated demeanor seemed to recall a passage in the book when he describes practicing the Breath of Joy with his Canadian carpool buddies: “Here I was, doing silly things in public without judging myself, without suffocating cynicism, without air quotes around everything.”

While there may be many paths to inner peace, Neal Pollack’s “Stretch” will undoubtedly inspire commiseration and laughter, if not a newfound yoga practice, in its readers.

I

hate advertising.

I hate ads in magazines and billboards on the side of the road and commercials on TV. I hate those girls who wear spandex shorts and hand out Red Bull, logos emblazoned across their breasts. Who are you? Put on some pants. Go to class.

The road between Beirut and Damascus could be fairly described as a clusterfuck of advertising. Billboards for hair replacement, pop albums and wax museums do battle for roadside space while lingerie ads next to perilous cliffs pose a very real and very slutty danger to drivers.

While traveling along this road this summer, I found myself (cleverly and hilariously) critiquing these ads to my (much-appreciative) friend on such matters as clarity of message, quality of design and hue. I realized that I was treating the roadside ads the way I’ve been treating art in my past three years as an (highly accomplished and decorated) arts critic at the Daily Cal, judging them as I would a concert or a play in Berkeley.

I cracked a window in the car, so that the wind of the Damascus Road would blow my hair about in the way an intrepid young traveler should have her hair blown about. Then I closed the window, because it smelled like goat shit.

My overall verdict was as subtle as it was groundbreaking: These ads are stupid and ugly. I hate advertising.

I wrote this down in my moleskin notebook later that day atop some Roman ruins, looking poetic.

It was all so simple. But then I saw a

recent TV ad for John Lewis, a British department store. In 90 seconds, the entire life of a beautiful, charming woman is played out from bubbling baby to stooping grandmother, all in one, fluid, continuous shot, backed by a cover of Billy Joel’s “She’s Always a Woman.” In the end, John Lewis’ motto appears: Never Knowingly Undersold.

I don’t know what that means. But I don’t care.

Something horrifying had happened. I was moved.

If something has the capacity to move, maybe it is art. And if some ads by the side of the road are worthy of criticism, maybe they, too, are a kind of art, albeit a terrible one.

And if these ads are art, they must be made by artists. You know, the classic tale of the Artist That Could Have Been But Decided To Use His/ Her Talent to Peddle Sweaters For Old Navy Instead.

What makes the John Lewis ad so beautiful? The point of an ad is to convince you that your life is missing something. To unearth a longing deep within you, a gaping hole torn in your soul omitting a river of emotion that can only be plugged by a side-by-side stainless steel refrigerator with built-in icemaker and external temperature controls, available at John Lewis. The kind that the pretty woman reaches in to at 45 seconds into her life story to satiate some crazy pregnant-lady craving, a few seconds before cradling her beautiful baby and then degenerating into a pretty old woman. I have no refrigerator, nor a beautiful baby. Take me to John Lewis.

The ad, like a work of great art, seeks to move. But instead of moving people to tears, it moves people to shop for refrigerators. In the case of the John Lewis ad, it did both. Lord knows the easiest sales target is the one hysterically sobbing in the cookery aisle.

If we must live in a world smothered by ads, it is the least we can hope that they won’t be too hideous to the eyes, grating to the ears or offensive to the nose. An artist needs to eat to be able to create masterpieces: Selling out is a fact of life.

Thus we will embark, dear reader, on a 15-week odyssey of pretending that advertising can be art and that I know what I’m talking about.

This Week: The Summer in Sports

HATE IT

The Dodgers and Angels are all but out of the playoffs but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still been one hot summer of sports for me.

I have to begin with this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest sporting event: The World Cup. Not only did my team, Spain, win, but I was in Madrid when it happened. In a sporting world of me-first athletes, it was nice to see the team-first attitude of La Furia Roja triumph.

Even non-soccer enthusiasts like myself appreciate the beautiful passing game of Xavi and his futbolista teammates. Standing in a crowd of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of passionate Spaniards watching their national team win the World Cup is definitely the way to watch a sporting event. And partying in the streets, plazas, and fountains is definitely the way to celebrate a victory.

The previous month my Lakers repeated as NBA champions. It was an exciting series overall but Game 7 was a nail-biter. There were times during that final game when I had as little faith that the Lakers would prevail as Celtics fans had in Ray Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump shot. But in the end the Celtics just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that x-factor that the Lakers had. No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not talking about Kobe Bryant; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about Ron Artestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psychiatrist.

And I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see LeBron James in the Finals.

Actually, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only place I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see LeBron. There was a silver lining to the otherwise annoying media attention to an elite, but still ringless NBA player. Yes, I did indeed watch ESPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Decision,â&#x20AC;? and I loved it. My favorite part was when he said he was taking his â&#x20AC;&#x153;talentsâ&#x20AC;? to Miami, talents that clearly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include public speaking and public relations.

But the best thing about this summer of sports is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over, because that means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for Cal football. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jonathan Kuperberg

This summer was overrated.

Yes, the World Cup produced the pulse-pounding, heart-stopping, glorious and tragic moments that it does every four years, but the officiating always seemed to take center stage. I mean, Imagine if Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is allowed to tie Germany 2-2? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know because stubborn, crotchety FIFA President Sepp Blatter is obsessed with controversy and will not even merit discussion of instant replay on goals.

Instead, English morale is devastated and they go onto lose 4-1.

Landon Donovanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dramatic counterattack strike against Algeria will forever be etched into United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer lore, but it was increasingly frustrating to watch the U.S. rely more on its guts than its pre-game preparation. Fans fondly recall the dramatic comebacks, but seem to forget about the early deficits to England, Slovenia and Ghana. The Yanks had a flare for the dramatic, but a stunning lack of consistency.

The same damn team won the NBA Championship. And judging by their splendid offseason signings, it looks like the Lakers will continue to hoist the NBA Finals trophy for years to come.

And then the Lebron drama. I just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that thrilled. And why would I be?

Lebron James might be the most physically talented player to ever set foot on a basketball court, but he has yet to win a game in the NBA Finals and has essentially proven that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great individual player.

Now, his teaming up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami may create the most dominant basketball force seen since the famed 1990s Chicago Bulls squads, but he essentially conceded that he will contribute to, not lead, the Heat, which is Wadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise. Boring, I say.

Give me some football already. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Gabriel Baumgaertner

Sydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Quan Thompson, who was drafted by the Denver Broncos this spring, started every game of his four-year career at Cal. Steve Williams has the chance to fill that void â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sans dreads.

The redshirt freshman has been one of the most talked-about newcomer on the defense during fall camp; coach Jeff Tedford said the 5-foot-10 corner was as good as any heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever seen.

With a pass defense that ranked 111th in the country last season, the team is hoping heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be as good as advertised.

A top-25 recruit at his position coming out of Skyline High in Dallas, Texas, he originally gave an oral commitment to Oklahoma. Since a strong showing during spring practices, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent most of fall camp taking reps with the first-team defense.

But sophomore Marc Anthony, who played in eight games as a reserve last year, emerged this week as a possible starter and the two could end up splitting time. As much potential as Williams has, it may not balance out his inexperience.

chris conte

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the move that we were all eagerly anticipating. The huge, lumbering guy who was lining up at cornerback the last three seasons? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chris Conte, and now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a few steps back and assume the role of starting strong safety.

Despite being a heralded recruit when he arrived in 2007, Conte has yet to establish himself as a feared defensive presence. His three years in Berkeley have been more or less plagued by inconsistency that triggered the switch to safety. This will be the most Conte has started since his freshman year when he started three games. The Los Angeles native has compiled only two starts over the 2008 and 2009 campaigns, but should be a fixture at safety in 2010.

With the departures of Brett Johnson and Marcus Ezeff, Conte will join Sean Cattouse to hopefully fortify a secondary that finished 111th in pass defense last season. Conteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size is perhaps his greatest asset; he stands 6-foot-3 and is an intimidating defensive presence, but many wonder if he will finally fulfill =82: 5A03:8= 58;4 any of the considerable hype that surrounded him when he <X]SX FX[Th [TUc P]S 7P]P 2dcdaP WPeT VaPSdPcTS [TPeX]V P e^XS Pc cWT \XSS[T first signed to play in Berkeley.

sports in Brief M. Gym: McNeill Hired to Replace Retired Weiner The Cal menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnastics team has one less thing to worry about: finding a head coach.

With cuts to the athletics department imminent, rumors swirled this summer about the possible elimination of the squad. That both head coach Barry Weiner and assistant coach Aaron Floyd following the spring season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the former to retirement and the latter to resignation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help.

The Bears didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look far to find Weinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement, turning to 2008 graduate Tim McNeill. The U.S. senior national team mainstay carved his place in Cal history with a series of superla-

tive performances. As a sophomore in 2006, he won his first NCAA title on the pommel horse. He then added on parallel bars, taking national championships in both events for the next two years.

The Falls Church, Va., native, who competed in the finals of the 2008 Olympic trials, will have Weinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large shadow looming over him. In the 19 years he spent guiding the Bears, the Thursday, May 3,of2007 two-time National Coach the Year led the team to two team NCAA titles, 14 individual champions and two undefeated seasons. He also coached 90 AllAmericans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; McNeill among them.

After taking over after a programworst 1-18 season in 1992, Weiner compiled an overall record of 266-111-1 at Cal.

Entering his senior season in the trenches, Cameron Jordan is a veteran member of the Cal defense. He doesn’t maintain the hype that past defensive stars like Zack Follett, Worrell Williams or even Syd’Quan Thompson had when they entered their senior seasons, but Jordan is key to the success of the 2010 defense.

A two-time All Pac-10 honorable mention, Jordan has emerged as one of the most sure tacklers and forces to be reckoned with on the defensive front. Jordan certainly thrived playing opposite eventual first round pick Tyson Alualu, but the Chandler, Ariz. native should succeed even with Alualu’s departure.

Jordan is one of the defense’s more consistent performers, but often plays his best when stakes are highest. In 2008 against his hometown Arizona State, Jordan racked up eight tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks.

Last year against then No. 17 Arizona, Jordan recorded seven tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks against arguably the conference’s hottest quarterback at the time, Nick Foles.

Jordan’s quickness off of the edge and quarterback pressure will be integral to new defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast’s aggressive scheme. If the past three years are any indication of what will happen, Jordan will be up to the task.

7-1. 1-4.

Yes, those are starkly different results. Th 2009 Cal football team was noticeably different with Matt Summers-Gavin on the field, and they’ll need him healthy if they expect to compete in 2010.

Summers-Gavin and the now-graduated Mike Tepper created a formidable protection of the left side last season, and those were the games where quarterback Kevin Riley was most successful. Now, Tepper is gone to the Dallas Cowboys and even more emphasis will be place on SummersGavin to hold down the blind side. Mitchell Schwartz will move from right tackle to left in hopes of improving pass protection that was, at the very best, mediocre last season. But there is more to it than just SummersGavin’s presence. Summers-Gavin has a knack for getting the best defensive tackles out of their respective elements. Last season, Stanford’s Ekom Udofia strayed from one play to pile-drive Summers-Gavin into the turf, drawing a fifteen-yard penalty that set up Cal's first touchdown. If healthy, Summers-Gavin will be an anchor of an otherwise unproven offensive line.

Former Cal standout selected as team’s new head coach for 2010.

See page 31

Even with Jahvid Best headlining the backfield for the last two years, Cal coach Jeff Tedford never considered Shane Vereen to be just a back-up. Towards the end of 2009, people saw why.

With Best’s season curtailed by a scary fall against Oregon State, Vereen did more than fill in. He took the team on his shoulders through a pair of upset wins, amassing 352 yards on a remarkable 72 carries.

After sealing a home victory over Arizona with a 61-yard touchdown scamper, Vereen guided the Bears past a surging Stanford squad with a Big Game performance for the ages. The Valencia, Calif. native ran the ball 42 times for 193 yards and three scores, outdueling the Cardinal’s Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart.

With a combination strength, balance, vision, and underrated speed, Vereen should be one of the conference’s top running backs this fall.

Cal’s goal this year is making sure its offensive leader lasts the entire season after ending 2009 a battered man. Though Vereen will have a committee of runners spelling him, expect him to pick up where he left off.

For the first time since DeSean Jackson, Cal will enter the season with a legitimate No. 1 receiver.

Marvin Jones isn’t the second coming of the current NFL Pro Bowler. He’s bigger, slower and won’t generate any Heisman hype. (He did get named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list, but so did 49 other wide receivers.) But given the Bears’ recent dearth of pass-catching talent, he’ll probably seem like a godsend.

Jones has sure hands, for one thing — “He can’t drop a pass to save his life,” quarterback Kevin Riley said.

Jones has great body control, as demonstrated by a leaping touchdown grab over UCLA cornerback Alterraun Verner last season. And after missing most of 2008 with a knee injury, he led the Cal roster in catches, reception yards, and touchdown receptions.

With touted freshman Keenan Allen on the opposite side of the field, he’ll likely be more open — something Riley no doubt looks forward to.

Jake Plummer, Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith, Joey Harrington, Carson Palmer, Kyle Boller, Derek Anderson, Willie Tuitama and Sean Canfield.

No, these quarterbacks do not share collective NFL success, but each struggled as a starter before enjoying stellar final campaigns.

Let’s be clear, this does not mean that Kevin Riley will lead the Pac-10 in touchdowns and (take) Cal to the Rose Bowl. After all, it has been a tumultuous two seasons under center for the frequently inaccurate Riley, and most have written him off as a potentially elite Pac-10 QB. At the risk of sounding like a journalistic Pollyanna, there are reasons to embrace Riley instead of shouting for Beau Sweeney once the senior throws his first interception.

For the first time in his career, Riley is not forced into learning a new offense. Offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig returns for his second season, as does his favorite target from 2009, wide receiver Marvin Jones. Add explosive freshman Keenan Allen and the reliable Shane Vereen, and Riley certainly has options at his disposal. The main question is whether or not an unproven offensive line will adequately protect him.
