AC Transit

May Reduce Services to Limit Deficit

The agency, which struggled this summer to balance its budget and bridge a $56 million gap, now faces additional unbudgeted expenses of $17.6 million — $15.7 million of which come from labor costs AC Transit officials had planned on reducing through a new contract with the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 192.

But because of the contract’s invalidation by the Alameda County Superior Court in August, the agency will now move forward with more than $14 million in short-term cost reduction scenarios, according to a staff report presented at a meeting of the board of directors Wednesday. Officials hope to approve the cuts by the end of the month.

Short-term solutions on the table include eliminating all “all-nighter” lines except the 800 and 801 lines, closing the agency’s paratransit unit — which

UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory will send a probe within 4 million miles of the sun’s surface to measure magnetic fields as part of NASA’s Solar Probe Plus mission.

RESEARCH & IDEAS

Space Sciences Laboratory to Probe Sun’s Atmosphere

by Nick Myers Contributing Writer

Of the few unexplored frontiers that remain for humankind, fewer still present the same allure as the infinite void of space hanging around our world, and the mysteries it, perhaps eternally, will keep. As part of NASA’s Solar Probe Plus mission, the Space Sciences Laboratory at UC Berkeley aims to unlock some of those stellar secrets.

Scheduled for launch no later than 2018, according to a statement from NASA, the mission was developed to figure out the origins of phenomena produced in the sun’s atmosphere. The lab’s “fields experiment” was selected for mission participation Thursday and will contribute components to the probe designed to gather data on elec-

tromagnetic fields, radio emissions and shock waves in the solar atmosphere, according to the statement.

“It’s an exploration of ‘where do we live — what’s the environment we live in?’” said Dick Fisher, director of NASA’s Heliophysics Division. “It’s a cultural and intellectual endeavor.”

UC Berkeley astrophysics professor Stuart Bale, director at the lab and principal investigator for the fields experiment, said the basic science behind the lab’s contribution will help understand what heats and energizes the solar atmosphere.

“Our experiment is going to measure the magnetic fields directly,” he said. “We’re measuring the turbulent processes that heat the plasma in the solar atmosphere.”

According to Fisher, everything

humans do in space is influenced by the variability in the sun’s magnetic field and the flow of charged particles around the sun.

“When you’re a modern society that pervades into space, (the sun) affects everything,” Fisher said.

The different phenomena that flow from the sun — such as the solar winds, solar energetic particles and coronal mass ejections — cause effects ranging from the aurora borealis to disruptions in telecommunications and electronics, which can cause power blackouts and affect satellites, defense capabilities and financial markets, among other things. Electronic systems used in space, as well as the human tissue of an astronaut’s body, can also be damaged by solar radiation and phenomena.

He added that understanding how real stars actually act and behave has been a goal for the space science community since NASA was founded.

Both Bale and Fisher emphasized the lab’s contribution to the mission as “fundamental” and “key,” respectively.

Bale said the lab is involved in more than just the fields experiment, too.

Students looking to pursue graduate programs will see a more “test-taker friendly” version of the general Graduate Record Examination come next August, but those who need to submit their results before November 2011 are still being encouraged to take the current test.

The new GRE will take effect Aug. 1, 2011 and will feature a new design that will allow test takers to edit or change their answers as well as skip questions.

Changes will also include eliminating antonym and analogy questions in the verbal section and emphasizing data interpretation and real-life scenarios in the quantitative reasoning section.

Students who need test results before mid-November 2011 are instructed to take the current test, according to the exam’s website.

operations on remaining lines, contracting out maintenance services, increasing fares and possibly eliminating weekend operation entirely.

These solutions will require additional study and public hearings and could be implemented in six months to a year, the report states. The first public hearing for the long-term changes is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 10.

According to Claudia Hudson, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 192 — which represents bus drivers, maintenance personnel and other AC Transit employees — some of the cost-cutting solutions under consideration are not viable and would negatively impact both employees and bus riders. “(The board) is looking straight at a dollar amount, not at the dollar amount that is needed to put service on the street that works for the people — they don’t give a damn about the people,” Hudson said. “This isn’t necessarily about employee needs — it’s about doing what’s humanly right.”

deficits of approximately $1.2 million per month, according to the report.

The weekend service reduction would cut 39 lines on weekends — including the 1R, 7 and 52 lines — and would impact approximately 32,000 riders on Saturdays and 24,000 riders on Sundays.

Peeples said the short-term reductions — tentatively scheduled for implementation in December — can be applied relatively quickly because they do not require additional, “timeconsuming” public hearings. He added that public hearings were held in May to cover all the short-term solutions currently on the table.

“When we went through the last set of cutbacks, we wanted to have flexibility, so we held public hearings on a greater level of solutions than we needed,” he said. “We never imagined that we were going to end up having to implement all of them.”

In addition to more immediate solutions, the report also addresses potential long-term reduction scenarios, including cutting additional fixed-route service, reducing weekend hours of

primarily transports disabled passengers — and reducing weekend services, according to the report.

At the Sept. 1 meeting, community members, transit workers and bus riders spoke out against these further service cuts as a cost reduction strategy, saying that the cuts were not in the best interest of the people.

“There’s really no room on (the board’s) ledger for the human cost ... and the effect it has on the people who are dependent on transit,” Oakland resident Karen Smulevitz said at the meeting. “People suffer when the bus service gets cut … Please remember us.”

At its next meeting on Sept. 22, the board hopes to decide on these measures, although given the “momentous nature” of the decision, it is possible that the vote will be pushed back a meeting, said Chris Peeples, a member of the board of directors.

But delaying the proposed shortterm solutions — whose estimated annualized savings total $14.1 million to $14.6 million — will result in further

of communications and services, Dawn Piacentino, in a statement. “We have received tremendously positive feedback from students and faculty. For college juniors and seniors heading back to school, now is a good time to experience the GRE revised General Test.”

At UC Berkeley, individual graduate programs will have to evaluate how the new test fits in with the evaluation of applications. According to the campus Graduate Division’s website, more than 90 of the 117 campus graduate programs either list the GRE general test as a requirement for the application or as an optional component.

All of the Ph.D. programs within the campus Graduate School of Education require the general GRE, according to Jenna Tower, student services and admissions assistant. Tower added that the school has not yet discussed how to weigh the new test in admission decisions, but that the current test is not the biggest factor in considerations.

“We are very comprehensive in what we look at,” she said. “(The GRE) is not the end all to everything, basically.”

UC Berkeley senior Dawn Ling, who has been preparing to take the current test in October, said it may be helpful to know about the ability to skip questions, though the change should not matter to students who are prepared for the test.

“If you know the questions well enough, it shouldn’t matter if you have to skip a question or move on,” she said. “It’s more important to know how to do those questions ... and attack a problem.”

Some components are being developed by the University of Minnesota, the University of Colorado at Boulder, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the Paris Observatory in Meudon, France and the National Center of Scientific Research laboratory in Orleans, France, said Bale.

John Lee, program executive for the Solar Probe Plus mission, said while no cost has been set for the mission, NASA is working within a range of $1 billion to $1.3 billion. Bale said all American contributions to the mission will be funded by NASA. According to Fisher, the closest a human-created spacecraft has come to the sun has been within about 25 million miles. The probe will thrust directly into the sun’s atmosphere, within 4 million miles of its surface, the statement reads.

The probe itself will be about the size of a car and will have to withstand temperatures exceeding around 2,550 degrees Fahrenheit with its “revolutionary carbon-composite” heat shielding, according to the statement.

“We’ll see these structures generated right up close in the solar atmosphere where the particles are being energized,” Bale said.

News in Brief

Avoiding Seven Evil Sexes

Yudof Resigns From Board Of Chamber of Commerce

I

f you’ve already seen the new Scott Pilgrim film, then you know what “the Seven Evil Exes” refers to, and the logical jump I am making will be easier to manage.

For those of you who haven’t, I’ll synopsize: Boy meets girl named Ramona. Boy must fight all of Ramona’s exes in order to date her.

There are seven, and they are all evil.

The idea of fighting off the demons of your significant other’s past is a resonant one in the post-therapist era we seem to be living in. Denizens of earlier decades had their psychoanalysis and the voice of Woody Allen taking them on the scenic route through their existential misery. These days, we have Wikipedia, where we can check to see if we are exhibiting the signs of daddy issues, commitment issues or Madonna-whore hang-ups. Friends pose interventions for friends, and Adderall’s pretty easy to come by sans prescription.

Let’s play house, er, ... M.D., and I’ll take you through a list of seven evil sexes — that is, acts of intimacy that are problematic in some capacity.

While distracting amid post-breakup angst, these hook-ups color your sex life to come, leaving future relationships mired in messy entanglements.

First off: Antidepressant Sex. If you’re looking for a perk-me-up because of dire straits, shitty grades or meager account balances, getting down and dirty with your favorite distraction tops the list of cheap thrills. Much like positive feedback on a paper, finishing off with flying colors can provide your sallow ego with a boost it can’t get from quotidian activities like washing dishes.

The problem, of course, is that sex, like antidepressants, becomes addictive.

Second: Revenge Sex. Your former love interest either cheated on you, or they beat you to the rebound punch post-breakup. I’m-finally-single-fuckyeah-fuck-you hook-ups can be somewhat cathartic, but if you’re thrusting and grinding as if your ex was watching through one-way glass, then your attempts at revenge will be unsatisfying and only give power to the stranglehold their memory has upon your current love life. hird: My-V-Card-is-Expiring Sex. No one wants to be Steve Carell getting his chest hair waxed off in “The 40-Year Old Virgin.” And no one wants to be the asshole left out of an inside joke. I consciously rid myself of my virginity when I was 19 because I felt it no longer reflected how I felt about myself. I had denounced god and taken off my purity ring. Why should I continue to maintain virginal abstinence? I wanted to rebel against “waiting until marriage,” marrying “someone in the church” and playing the role of some pure ideal of femininity. In retrospect, of course, this all sounds like fairly empty rhetoric.

Should I have waited for someone I actually cared about? Probably. My first few goes at “sex” were messy attempts at sowing my wild oats.

Fourth: Giving-Nice-Guys-a-Try Sex.

T

hayley HOSMAN You commiserate with your guy friends who don’t “get their bit” — of ass that is — even though they are the epitomes of chivalry and sincerity. After enough “girls only like assholes” talks, you think: I’m above this superficial, bad boy bullshit. You finally agree to try Mr. Nice Guy on for size. And it’s ... nice.

The problem with nice guys isn’t that they’re too nice. It’s often that they’re too available. Members of both sexes are attracted to people who are intriguing and slightly aloof. Doubting your own tastes for the sake of fair play doesn’t get you too far. If you’re not into it, it’s hard to change your mind. No matter how many doors he opens for you. ifth: Bifurious Sex. You equate your ex with all members of their gender, and in an attempt to move on, you write off all people with their same biological makeup. If you’ve been on the receiving end of “You made me gay” drunk texts, you know how cheap this feels.

Sixth: Ugly-Duckling-Turned-Swan Sex. Alright, so you had your awkward years in high school. Between the acne and the underdeveloped social skills, you never quite made it with all those crushes you obsessed over. But the transition to college was good to you, and all of a sudden cuties are asking for your number and buying you drinks.

You capitalize on your new good looks, but be wary of the sort you may attract amid your free-for-all celebration.

And finally: Flag-Collecting Sex. This one is prevalent here in Berkeley, despite the fact that Cal students should know better. With the surplus of foreign exchange students as well as the plethora of cultural backgrounds, there are those among us who have swapped out the notches on their bedpost with national flags. Despite the fact that this is, um, kinda racist, the impetus behind “cultural understanding” may be more indicative of underlying issues. As with bifurious sex, we avoid the familiar (i.e.

American boys) in the hopes that alternatives won’t be as emotionally painful.

You may have already indulged in the above scenarios — I’m guilty of a few m’self. If nothing else, maybe talking through these scenarios has helped us act as each other’s personal therapists. Now, go pose an “intervention” on that cutie over there.

Two of California’s top public higher education administrators relinquished their posts on the California Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, criticizing the board’s endorsement of Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman.

UC President Mark Yudof suspended his membership on the board in order to remain politically nonpartisan as a leader of a public higher education system. Chancellor of the California Community Colleges Jack Scott also suspended his membership.

According to UC spokesperson Lynn Tierney, Yudof understands “it is really important to be in touch with all the members of the chamber of commerce” and would be willing to rejoin the organization in some capacity separated from political endorsements.

The board endorsed Whitman, citing job creation and economic recovery as the most important issues facing the state’s voting populace, because she reflected “the views of those who make private sector job creation their first priority,” according to a Sept. 3 statement from the chamber.

Yudof had previously distanced himself from an advertisement funded by

the chamber attacking Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown’s political record, stating on April 7, 2006 on his Twitter account, “As member of Chamber’s Board, I was not aware of this ad and do not approve of it.”

In the 2006 state gubernatorial election race, the board had endorsed Republican candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger acknowledging a “long-standing policy” not to endorse candidates in statewide elections except in rare occasions, according to a statement from the chamber issued on Sept. 8, 2006.

Female, 19, Reports Sexual Battery Near Eshleman Hall A 19-year-old female was inappropriately touched by a male stranger in his 40s on UC Berkeley’s Lower Sproul Plaza the afternoon of Aug. 30, according to UCPD. The victim did not report the incident until nearly two days later on Wednesday afternoon.

According to UCPD Captain Margo Bennett, the victim said she was approached by an unkempt man at 3:55 p.m. while reading on a bench north of Eshleman Hall.

After saying “Excuse me, ma’am,”

and beginning to cry, the suspect sat down next to the victim and began talking to her, the victim reported.

Though she said she was unable to understand much of what the suspect said, the victim could distinguish the phrases “Look into my eyes” and “This is my heart” — the latter accompanied by a gesture of putting his hand on his heart, Bennett said.

At one point the suspect touched the victim’s face with his hand, which the victim told police made her uncomfortable. The victim then started moving away, telling the suspect to stop, at which point he touched her “inappropriately” on her chest and said “strip,” according to Bennett.

The victim immediately left and was followed briefly by the suspect, before losing sight of him on Bancroft Way. In both 2008 and 2009, there were no reported non-forcible sex offenses on campus, according to UCPD statistics. There were nine forcible sex offenses in 2008 and four in 2009.

UCPD and the Berkeley Police Department increased efforts to combat sexual assault following a series of incidents involving 20 victims, which occurred on Southside from September 2008 to January 2009. In these incidents, the suspect attempted to penetrate victims with his finger.

An Out-of-State Answer HIGHER EDUCATION

The plan to increase the number of nonresident students in the UC system trumps the differential tuition proposal.

W

ith 15,000 students in the UC system not funded by the state, it goes without saying that the university needs alternative sources of income. Yet we do not think the university should accept all means of generating revenue.

All factors considered, we are pleased that the UC Commission of the Future abandoned the proposal to charge different tuition levels for each campus. Differential tuition is not an attractive option and would have eroded the purpose of a united UC system by valuing the education at one campus over another. The plan to increase the percentage of out-of-state students will be better in the long run.

The commission is not facing an exclusive either/or choice, since other revenue-generating and cost-saving measures are on the table. We hope the university weighs every possibility to come up with the best combination of strategies.

After all, simply focusing on increasing the number of nonresident students will not solve the university’s problems — each 10 percent increase in out-of-state students gen-

erates only $9.8 million. Since the state reduced its support for the university by $637 million for 2009-10 alone, there is still a long way to go.

We also do not want to gloss over the negative effects this proposal. It has traditionally been much more competitive for non-California students to be admitted into the UC system. While this will change with the increase of out-of-state and international students, greater geographic diversity will not increase socioeconomic diversity. After all, the opportunity to attend the university is generally available only to those who can afford the significantly higher nonresident tuition. To re-emphasize accessibility for all, the university should invest some of the money from higher tuition costs into scholarships for deserving Californians.

It is regrettable that the options being considered will shift accessibility and affordability for California students, but compromises must be made in order for this university to survive. The UC system must adapt and this strategy is in the best interest for all students, regardless of their geographic origin.

Fair Speech UNIVERSITY ISSUES

A

The suspension of the Muslim Student Union at UC Irvine is a reasonable response to the disruptive acts on campus.

lthough this independent student newspaper inherently cherishes the freedom of speech, even we know when a line has been crossed. As many may remember, the disruptions by some members of the Muslim Student Union (MSU) during a guest speaker’s presentation at UC Irvine did indeed go too far.

The incident, which occurred in February, has resurfaced since the campus decided to reduce the student group’s ban from one year to one quarter on campus. This adjusted suspension is reasonable: It allows students to regroup in the spring while still holding the MSU accountable for those who systematically prevented Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren from completing his scheduled speech.

The intent to protest was not the problem. There would have been no controversy if the MSU had picketed outside the event, but their actual disruption no longer could be categorized as an act of free speech.

No student group, regardless of politics, should be allowed to infringe upon another’s ability to speak. All university campuses ideally serve as

channels of safe and open discourse.

As the UC Policy on Speech and Advocacy states, “activities must not … interfere with the University’s obligation to protect rights to teach, study, and fully exchange ideas.”

Banning the entire student union may seem harsh, especially since only a handful of students were implicated in the disruptions. However, we must point out that the MSU did not denounce the actions of their members at the ambassador’s speech.

By doing this, they chose to face the repercussions as a collective group.

While banning the MSU for a quarter is fair, the original suspension for a year indicates that campus officials were too hasty and harsh in their initial findings. The campus should be more consistent in similar situations instead of appearing to soften their stance more than two months after the first suspension.

We hope that the quarter suspension will not cause too many negative cultural effects for Muslim students who want to work as a community.

At the same time, let this incident serve as warning for all UC student protesters to be respectful and appropriate in any future efforts.

On Game Day, Just Play by the Rules The ASUC Student Advocate Warns Irresponsible Alcohol Use Can Lead to Severe Repercussions

by Kelly Fabian With the first Cal football game under our belt, moments of alcoholinduced irresponsibility that will punctuate a season otherwise full of frenzied student sections and memorable victory celebrations still lay ahead. While the vast majority of campus will enjoy typical Cal game days, some students will find their festivities cut short by an encounter with UCPD and a case with Student Conduct.

Every year, floods of alcohol-related violations occur on game day weekends casting a shadow on the otherwise revered tradition of Cal football.

A student that consumes too many drinks before the game may face a damaging Conduct record; a careless party host may soon find UCPD on its guest list; a few of the unluckiest may wake up the next morning in a holding cell.

As the campus public defender, the ASUC Student Advocate’s Office strives to help students avoid these situations.

While some alcohol consumption before football games is common, certain behaviors will immediately arouse the suspicion of game day officers.

Most students are caught showing off telltale signs while waiting in line to get into the stadium. Excessively loud talking, red eyes, and stumbling may prompt an officer to pull you aside, but makeshift remedies such as sunglasses and hats will also attract attention. If you are uncontrollably inebriated you will get caught, so we highly discourage excessive pre-gaming.

If you are asked to step aside from the line, the officer will question you about your alcohol consumption and ask for your ID. Remain calm and compliant so as not to worsen the situation. You may choose to decline a

breathalyzer test, but that leaves the determination of your drunkenness up to the officer’s perception. Even if you are over 21 you can still be cited for public drunkenness. In most situations the officer will forward your citation to Student Conduct. Typically, these cases result in a fine, an alcohol education assignment, and most importantly a seven year Conduct record that can impact graduate school prospects. Student Conduct will be treating football game violations with increasing harshness this year and the fine has been increased to $100.

Of course, game day does not end when the whistle is blown. The following tips can help party-throwers and partygoers avoid trouble at night.

This year UCPD and BPD will team up on increased game day patrols to address unsafe and unstable situations. Be a smart host by regulating your guest list and keeping your party within your walls and at a reasonable noise level. If officers do come to your door, greet them outside your door

Commemorate Labor Day With Volunteering

by Hilda Solis For many college students, Labor Day means the end of a summer job (or summer fun), the start of a new school year, and perhaps the kickoff of the college football season.

Historically, Labor Day — which unlike other American holidays does not recognize any particular group, event, individual, or battle — celebrates workers, and their contributions to our nation.

But I think Labor Day is also a time to recognize the struggles of working people. Especially now, when — despite significant gains — workers and students are feeling more anxiety than festivity.

It has taken a lot of work to get the economy headed on a path to recovery. This is not just the responsibility of the Labor Secretary or leaders in Washington. There is a role for everyone, including college students. Here are a few ways you can help: Expand Your Circle. Since President Obama has made federal student aid — including Pell Grants

— available to unemployed workers, there will be more “non-traditional” students on campus.

From the former auto worker studying to be a nurse, to the single mother who is earning a degree at night or on weekends, there is no such thing as a “typical” college student anymore, as workers re-enter academic institutions of all types to retool and retrain. That’s good for colleges, very good for workers, and even better for you! Get to know fellow students — especially those that don’t exactly look like you. You will never know how you can help each other.

Support Your Peers. You may also see more veterans of every age on campus. Student veterans groups are forming on campuses to provide peer-to-peer networks, sponsor events and activities, and make sure that veterans are successful at school, and later, at work. Learn more about how you can get involved in these efforts at studentveterans.org. And you can help yourself while helping others, too. Disabled American

Veterans (dav.org) offers a $15,000 scholarship for volunteers who provide at least 100 hours of service to local VA Hospitals in a year. This is an excellent way to get invaluable experience and build your resume in the many high-growth careers in the health care industry.

Share Your Passion. My department runs Job Corps, one of the country’s largest networks of residential educational/vocational training programs. It helps more than 100,000 young people a year learn a great career and earn a high school diploma. Many of the 123 Job Corps centers around the country have volunteer opportunities (check out serve.gov).

Find a Job Corps student who is interested in the same career as you are (our programs range form culinary arts to computers to construction) and become a mentor or tutor.

The Serve.gov site can also help you find other volunteer opportunities where the needs are greatest.

The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is more than 16 per-

cent. Hundreds of organizations that serve this important community need your help in a variety of job skills and readiness programs. This is a great way for you to put your unique talents to work, hone your own skills, sharpen your focus, and help others.

Get “Green” Now. Earn Green Later.

Get involved in the efforts to “green” your campus or community . . . community gardens, recycling initiatives, even solar and wind energy projects.

We’re making significant investments in a whole new American industry: clean energy. Our goal is to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and reenergize our manufacturing sector — creating jobs today and jobs tomorrow.

I hope that you made Labor Day 2010 a day on, instead of a day off.

There’s nothing wrong with making time for barbeques and the big game, but let’s make time for each other, too. Let’s all do the work that will get America working.

Hilda Solis is the U.S. Secretary of Labor. Reply to opinion@dailycal.org.

promptly and comply with their instructions. If you are assessed with a first response violation, subsequent violations within 120 days will result in fines starting at $750.

On the street, belligerent and uncontrolled behavior as well as open containers will draw officers’ attention to you. Remain cooperative and realize that any incidents that occur within a few blocks of campus will be addressed

by Student Conduct as well as the court system. Also, be aware that violations that occur at other UC campuses, for example at away games, can be forwarded back to our Student Conduct.

With this advice, we wish you a football season full of good memories.

Responsible Partying Is About Knowing the Risks and Using Common Sense Having a Good Time Is Possible Without the Risk of Serious Injury And Legal Trouble

by David Garber The three articles in Friday’s Daily Cal about campus and city efforts to address alcohol and safety issues clearly shows both entities are concerned about the problems. However, after four years at CAL and witnessing countless, easily avoidable mistakes due to irresponsible use of alcohol in particular, I have to say that when it’s 11 pm on Friday night, we students have to take responsibility for mitigat-

ing the many risks associated with drinking.

I completely believe in having a good time, relaxing, celebrating and enjoying oneself, but only if we don’t hurt ourselves or our community.

When we drop this belief, many negative consequences can occur. It is all about risk recognition and management.

Though most of us do not like to admit it, there’s a lot we don’t know related to alcohol laws, penalties, safety and police relations. So, we know most of the minor-level risks, e.g. the hangover, doing something that we regret, missing a class. However, the majority of students tend to either look the other way or are not aware of the more serious risks and factors associated with them. For example, any alcohol- or noise-related violations

Reach 42,000 readers, call us: 510-548-8300

around campus are now getting reported to student conduct.

Remember agreeing to uphold the student conduct code when we registered to matriculate to Berkeley? In case you’ve forgotten, the code deals with inappropriate and illegal behavior, both on and off campus. So, why is this important? Many of us are at the crossroads of our lives and are deciding what to do in the future. A lot of law schools, medical schools and most other graduate schools and state/federal employers request a student conduct file when you apply. While not the ‘be-all, end-all,’ it can have an effect on being accepted to graduate school or being hired for certain jobs.

The majority of alcohol, noise and party risks are avoidable with some management and responsibility. So what can you do?

Personally, know your limit, how you’ll keep count and how you’ll get home safely. Curb the pre-gaming, doing shots and drinking games because you can overdo it before you realize it. Pace yourself — one standard drink per hour — and alternate between alcohol and water (the tap water in Berkeley is tasty, healthy, and free).

Most importantly, watch out for each other. If you see someone has had too much, step in, talk to the host and make a plan to help the intoxicated person. Know the warning signs of alcohol poisoning (CUSP) and call for medical help if needed.

Trust me, you do not want to deal with your friends getting a misdemeanor or getting hurt or sick because you were worried about being Mr/Ms. Buzzkill. If more students took the

responsibility of doing so, then I would say a large majority of these problems would be eliminated. If the party is at your house, keep yourself sober and easy to find in case trouble arises.

Know your guests, work it out with neighbors in advance, and control the amount and flow of alcohol.

Be responsible, use common sense, and you will probably never experience any direct serious negative consequences from alcohol. The same steps reduce the negative spillover for the neighbors, campus and city too.

If you want more information on alcohol or noise laws, tips on hosting parties or general alcohol safety tips, please check out the PartySafe@Cal website.

Though the Bears led 3-0 by the 12th minute, Rice proved to be a more challenging opponent than Hawaii.

Cal Caps Off Home Invite With Dominant Victory Over Hawaii

Such periods of sloppy play have been prevalent in most of the Bears’ matches thus season. However, they have always found a way to regain their focus and rally for the win.

In the middle of the second set, Cal had another error-plagued stretch that enabled the Toreros to take the lead.

Murrey, however, made up for several errors during that lull with a crafty kill that topped off Cal’s mini-comeback.

From the middle of the floor, not the net, Murrey took Lloyd’s pass # 94and soared up for a kill. Instead of striking the ball down with full force — her usual strategy — she smartly tapped it over the hands of two defenders untouched.

Feller was impressed the Bears were able to recover from their mistakes in their first road test.

“For us, (it was a) great learning experience to play against a top team away,” Feller said. “It showed us what it’s going to be like.”

Allen Stars in Spectacular Debut; Bears Rout UC Davis Folks, We Have Ourselves Quite The Player

by Katie Dowd Daily Cal Staff Writer

Keenan Allen’s lifelong football mantra has been to go toward the green grass.

On Saturday, he found it twice.

The wide receiver nearly set a new Cal football record for receiving yards by a freshman as the Bears rolled over UC Davis 52-3 in their season opener at Memorial Stadium.

Allen electrified with his first collegiate touch. On Cal’s second possession of the first quarter, quarterback Kevin Riley tossed Allen the ball in the backfield. Allen strong-armed two Aggie defenders for 17 yards and a taste of the five-star recruit’s talent the Cal fan base has been longing to see.

His prowess was on full display all day, but he really opened eyes on a broken trick play. Early in the second quarter, Riley handed off to Allen, who dropped back to pass. When he saw his man downfield was covered, Allen took off to the right. With no blockers on that side, he almost came to a complete stop and turned left to lope into the endzone, putting the Bears up 21-0.

“That speaks not only to his athletic ability, but to his intelligence as a football player,” offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig said.

The true freshman hauled in four catches for 120 yards — 10 shy of DeSean Jackson’s single-game freshman record — and added 38 more yards on the ground.

Allen wasn’t the only receiver to impress on Saturday. Junior Marvin Jones had five receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown that came off of a gorgeous ball by Riley.

The senior quarterback threaded a pass between several defenders and hit Jones as he was inches above the ground. Jones also made a highlight reel catch for 51 yards as an Aggie defender fell all over him.

Again, though, Allen’s presence made an impact.

“Coming into this game, I knew (UC Davis) hadn’t seen Keenan, so they probably didn’t know what he could do,” junior wide receiver Marvin Jones said. “He established him-

Keenan Allen dominated the competition in his collegiate debut. The true freshman caught four balls for 120 yards and two touchdowns. self early, so having that guy on the other side of me is glorious. I can’t put into words how appreciative and happy I am.”

The man throwing to Allen and Jones was no slouch either. Much has been made of Riley’s new-found confidence over the offseason, and it appeared to pay dividends, even if it was against a diminutive opponent.

Riley completed all of his passes until 9:56 left in the second quarter and finished the day with 258 yards (14-of-20) with three touchdowns, no interceptions and no sacks.

The offense as a whole scored all six times when it was in the red zone, three times by tailback Shane Vereen who waltzed all over the Aggie defense for 70 yards on 14 carries.

“We’d like to be a little more consistent on a few drives, but for the

most part we did some good things,” Riley said. “Besides that fumble, we drove down the field, had a couple solid seven- and eight-play drives.”

The Cal defense, which has also been the subject of much offseason speculation, showed off new defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast’s blitz-heavy packages. For a moment, it didn’t look great.

UC Davis quarterback Randy Wright completed his first pass of the game to wide receiver Dean Rogers for a 14-yard gain, exploiting the gaps left by blitzing linebackers. But that was it and that was all for the Aggies.

At halftime, UC Davis still hadn’t managed another first down, and it finished the day with four total first downs and 81 yards of offense. They averaged 0.7 yards per rush.

“I’ve been in games where I’ve been

real disappointed with how we played and games were I felt we gave points away and put the ball on the ground,” Aggies coach Bob Biggs said. “But it wasn’t that kind of game. They were better.”

All of this is, of course, footnoted by the fact that UC Davis is the lowest-caliber opponent the Bears will see this season. Still, the last time Cal kept an opponent to less than 150 yards of total offense was in 1994.

“That was one our goals going in, not to give up any points,” senior linebacker Mike Mohamed said. “It hurt a little bit (to give up the field goal).

But our goal changed to no touchdowns.”

And that goal they realized.

ot exactly known for hyperbole, Jeff Tedford was true to form on Saturday afternoon.

Cal’s head coach made the postgame conference’s most obvious statement when lauding Keenan Allen.

“You saw today that he’s a very good football player,” Tedford said.

Media fodder it wasn’t. (Go to Palo Alto or Los Angeles if you want that).

Not that hyperbole was necessary.

After Allen decimated the Aggies for 176 total yards and a pair of scores — all in just over a half of work — there wasn’t much else to say.

The true freshman simply belonged on a football field.

Allen looked natural running routes and moving with the ball in his hands.

He waited for developing blocks with the patience and vision of a veteran.

Players and coaches witnessed Allen's potential throughout fall training camp, where the Greensboro, N.C. native captured a starting spot in less than a week.

“It was something you could just see,” Riley said. “You could just tell he was going to be good.”

“He could do just about anything,” Tedford said.

Bears Pull Away After Solving Bronco ‘D’ Unranked Bears Defeat Indiana, Tie Notre Dame to Win Tourney

by Byron Atashian Contributing Writer

The top-ranked Cal men’s water polo team matched its goal total from Saturday against UC Davis when it beat Santa Clara, 14-5, one day later at home.

Senior Bear Brian Dudley made a statement early on for his team, scoring on the Bears’ first possession only 30 seconds into the game. The way he emphatically fired the ball into the right bottom corner from so far out on showed that he and his team meant business.

The match was as close as 5-3 late in the second quarter before the Bears pulled away with a 6-0 run stretching through the third quarter.

“We went to a more pressure defense in the second half and became more physical with them, and that created a lot of turnovers,” Cal head coach Kirk Everist said.

Despite the switch on defense that secured the game, the Bears had room to improve on offense. They failed to capitalize on too many opportunities.

“One of the things we didn’t do very well in that game was just finish,” Everist said. “That makes it hard to get any distance on a team when you’re creating a lot of opportunities and just not putting the ball in the cage.”

The Bronco zone defense caused the Bears some trouble, which was compounded by their poor execution.

By not making Santa Clara pay from the perimeter for their choice of defense, Cal allowed them to stay comfortably in a zone.

“Most of it is just preparation, they relax at the most important part when you’re going to finish,” Everist said.

“They don’t have their legs underneath

Ivan Rackov carries the ball forward. The Belgrade, Serbia native, who is regarded as one of the nation’s top players, scored three of Cal’s 28 combined goals this weekend. them and they weren’t thinking.”

It may seem extraneous to criticize a performance that resulted in such a lopsided final score, but Cal is looking ahead to the NorCal Invitational in two weeks where some of the top teams in the nation will compete.

“We have to have some of those goals in a big game,” Everist said. “We can’t let them slip by because they’re not going to come as often as they did today.”

The NorCal Invitational will also serve as a true test for Cal’s freshmen.

“We need to really see them with some of the top teams to see how they react to a stronger center, two meter defender and perimeter players,” Everist said. “So far I think they’ve done a

pretty good job.”

The younger squad responded yet again against Santa Clara, playing a good portion of the second half that spurred the Bears on to victory.

Freshman Giacomo Cupido had five steals, in addition to an assist and a goal. Freshmen Matt Bergeson and Matt Golden had two goals apiece.

Junior Cory Nasoff led Cal with three goals and senior center Zach White pitched in two goals, despite the zone defense that denied him from getting on the scoreboard during sixon-six regular play.

After ending last season in less than desirable fashion, the Cal men’s soccer team needed a strong start to this season to erase the disappointment of 2009.

With a double-overtime, 2-1, win over No. 20 Indiana (1-1) and an exhausting scoreless tie against No. 18 Notre Dame (0-1-1) to win the Adidas/ IU Credut Classic, the Cal men’s soccer team found the start to the season that they sought.

Part of a four-team tournament with the Hoosiers, the Fighting Irish and No. 5 UCLA, the Bears (1-0-1) entered both games as underdogs, but managed to leave the state of Indiana as tournament champions.

The Bruins defeated Notre Dame, 1-0, on Friday, but were throttled by Indiana, 5-1, on Sunday.

Cal was the only unranked team in the tournament, but hardly played like one over the course of the weekend.

“It was a successful weekend,” Cal head coach Kevin Grimes told CalBears.com. “We look forward to Wednesday’s training so we can continue to improve.”

Despite being outshot in both games, the Bears thrived from strong goalkeeping from junior David Bingham and stout defense from tournament defensive MVP, A.J. Soares.

Bingham made an astonishing 16 saves over the course of the two games, earning him a spot on the all-tournament team with teammates Davis Paul, Servando Carrasco and Soares. Cal led all teams with four players named to the all-tournament team.

Soares, who entered the season with all sorts of preseason accolades, showed himself to be one of the best defensive players in the nation, weathering strong attacks from the Hoosiers and the Irish, both of whom have highly regarded offenses.

Though he scored Indiana's lone goal, the Bears managed to hold Indiana's Will Bruin, the tournament's offensive MVP, to just one goal. The junior forward would record a hat trick against UCLA two nights later.

Friday night belonged to Paul and Carrasco, who played key roles on both goals.

Paul earned a second assist on Carrasco’s goal that gave the Bears a 1-0 lead. The roles reversed in overtime when Carrasco threaded a ball through the six-yard box to ball, who drove a low liner past Indiana goalie Luis Soffner to clinch the victory.

“Davis finished the chance really well,” Grimes said.

Though Carrasco and Paul were the source of most of the Bears' offense, sophomores Tony Salciccia and John Fitzpatrick effectively spelled the starters and provided some firepower of their own.

Salciccia, a starting midfielder, led Cal with four shots, two of which were on goal, against Notre Dame. Fitzpatrick appeared as a substitute in both games and recorded two shots in both contests.

The Bears return home this weekend for their first home games of the 2010 season. against St. Mary's on Friday followed by UNLV on Sunday.
