Obituary

Former Cal golfer dies of unknown causes at 21 By True Shields | Staff tshields@dailycal.org Diane Kwon, a former UC Berkeley women’s golf team member known for her bright personality on and off the course, died Tuesday at her Fremont home of unknown causes. She was 21 years diane old. kwon K w o n competed with the Bears for two seasons from 2008 to 2009 — during which she posted results at both Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional tournaments — and the fall semester of the 2009 to 2010 season. According to the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau, Kwon’s death is currently under investigation, but no information is known yet. Melissa Dudek, assistant media relations director at University of California Athletics, said in an email that Kwon chose to leave the team for unspecified reasons her sophomore year. Dudek said Kwon’s “enormous personality� was one of the most distinctive on the team. “The thing that everybody remembers the most about her is that she was such a friendly and outgoing person,� she said. Kwon played golf as a student at John F. Kennedy High School in Fremont, Calif., where she was the first-ranked player and MVP four years in a row. In addition to her high school accolades, Kwon was a member of the Junior Golf Association of Northern California America’s Cup team. She also earned an honorable mention All-American distinction from the American Junior Golf Association in 2007 and was the San Francisco City Women’s Division Golf Champion for both 2006 and 2007. “We are all stunned and deeply saddened by the loss of Diane,� said Nancy McDaniel, head coach of UC Berkeley’s women’s golf team, in a statement. “Over the years that Diane played for us she was a fierce competitor while still managing to be a gracious sportswoman.� During her freshman season at Cal from 2008 to 2009, Kwon posted a 13th-place finish at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational in Washington. In June 2009 Kwon shot a three-under to win the 79th Annual Long Beach City Golf Championship in southern California. But Kwon’s presence on the team extended beyond greens and fairways, according to UC Berkeley senior and teammate Emily Childs.

By Sarah Burns | Staff sburns@dailycal.org Twice as many UC Berkeley students were rushed to the hospital for alcohol intoxication in the first few weeks of the semester this year than last year, according to UCPD statistics. Between move-in weekend and Labor Day weekend last year, UCPD officers responded to seven alcohol-related casualty calls — instances in which someone is ill or unresponsive due to alcohol intoxication or a combination of alcohol and drug use — six of which were for UC Berkeley students, according to UCPD Lt. Marc DeCoulode. So far this year, that number is 14 total calls, 13 of which were students. Of the 14, all who required medical help because of intoxication — with the exception of two — were under 21. DeColoude said he could not pinpoint exactly where the majority of the actual drinking occurs. “Often they don’t remember, or they don’t disclose that to us,� he said. He did say the majority of students who are hospitalized are 18and 19-year-olds and are picked up near or at the residence halls. “They usually get back to their unit or (they get) part-way to their unit, and then they pass out in the bushes or on the street, and then someone calls them in,� he said. But according to Residential and Student Services Program Marketing Communications Director Marty Takimoto, the

perceived prevalence of extreme intoxication in the dorms partly because residence hall policy instructs resident assistants to call UCPD if a student returns to a hall “exhibiting signs of distress� from intoxication. “The UCPD has better information on resident hall students because it’s part of our reporting policy,� he said. “If someone comes home to an apartment, it’s not likely someone will report it to the police.� While a common stereotype exists about college students drinking in excess at fraternities, DeCoulode said the majority of the calls do not come from students intoxicated at the houses, attributing this to the fact that the fraternities either “take care of them or get them out of there.� Jan Stokley, executive director of the Berkeley Student Cooperative, said that in the three years she has been involved with the co-ops, she has only heard of three incidents of residents needing transportation to the hospital for alcohol intoxication, though she admitted she is not aware of everything that happens in all the housing units. She added that, unlike the residence hall policy, it is not part of co-op policy to call the UCPD and that most of the coops are not located on campus property. Consequently, data concerning alcohol illness in the co-ops is probably not included in the UCPD statistics. DeCoulode said that though the UCPD does not typically

downtown plan

Concerns arise as city reviews latest version of plan By Karinina Cruz | Staff kcruz@dailycal.org As the city of Berkeley reviews the latest version of a plan that aims to transform the Downtown area into a more welcoming place for residents, tourists and businesses, concerns continue to arise regarding zoning designations and building height limits. The city Planning Commission met Wednesday night to review proposed staff amendments to the Downtown Area Plan’s zoning ordinance and ensure that it remains consistent with Measure R — passed by voters last November. The measure language includes guidelines for the construction of new structures, improved housing services, historic preservation of architecture and environmental sustainability standards. At the meeting, commissioners discussed height restrictions and considered the measure’s maximum height limit — 60 feet for buildings in the Downtown area and 75 feet with a use permit along portions of Shattuck Avenue from Hearst Avenue to Haste Street and also along University Avenue from Oxford to Milvia streets. However, the commissioners said they wanted to hold a public hearing to gather input about allowing 75-foot build-

ings in larger areas of Downtown. The commission discussed the development of site-specific standards and boundary adjustments in some areas in the city. Among the sites discussed was the north side of Dwight Way east of Shattuck, which is currently under residential zoning R-4, a multifamily zone with a base height limit of 45 feet and 60 feet with a use permit, according to Matt Taecker, the city’s principal planner for the area. There was debate about whether the site would remain under the R-4 zone or be changed into a buffer zone, which would allow a height of 50 feet, or 60 feet with a use permit, and designate the zone’s buildings as mixed-use — permitting retail use on the ground floor and residential on the upper levels. Other options included downzoning the site under Southside Plan R-S, which would restrict the maximum height to 35 feet. Commissioner Patti Dacey said the lower height requirement would correspond better with the barracks already on that site, while also limiting population density in the area. In contrast, Commissioner Jim Novosel said that since there are commercial areas on both sides of the site, it should fall under the South Area Commercial District, which would allow a maximum

News in Brief

Police arrest one suspect in a tire-puncturing incident Berkeley police have arrested one suspect who they say is responsible for puncturing dozens of tires and spray painting a few vehicles in South Berkeley last week, police announced Thursday morning. At about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, Berkeley Police Department officers arrested Berkeley resident Mandisa Monroe, 33, near her home, according to a press release from the department. “After a thoughtful and tedious investigation, reevaluation of the cases, community support and discovery of evidence that linked her to the crimes, a BPD sergeant obtained both a Ramey Warrant for her arrest and a Search Warrant for her home,” the release reads. “During the search of the home, officers seized a number of items that connected Monroe to images on surveillance videotape. The videotape captured the suspect committing one of the crimes. During an interview after her arrest, Monroe denied puncturing the tires but did explain phrases that had been tagged on the cars.” In the morning on Aug. 31, South Berkeley residents awoke to find tires punctured on 74 of their cars on Cali-

fornia, King and Julia streets. The predominant area where the crimes occurred was between 62nd and Blake streets on California — an extent of 17 blocks. The tires were most likely damaged with a puncture tool such as a fireplace tool, a small pocket knife or an ice pick between 8 p.m. Aug. 30 and 7 a.m. Aug. 31, according to Berkeley Sgt. Mary Kusmiss. On Tuesday, the District Attorney charged Monroe with felony vandalism, the release said. — Stephanie Baer

Man is beaten unconscious outside Cal-Fresno State game A man was beaten unconscious outside of San Francisco’s Candlestick Park prior to the start of the Cal-Fresno State football game Saturday afternoon. According to the San Francisco Police Department, the incident occurred in the parking lot of Candlestick Park, when a sergeant on bicycle patrol responded to commotion coming from a group of people near a port-a-potty station around 4 p.m. The sergeant then saw a man — identified by police as Benjamin Jiang, 26, of San Francisco — jump over the crowd. The

sergeant then identified the victim, a 26-year-old resident of Manteca, Calif. Witnesses pointed at the suspect and said “that’s him.” Police apprehended the suspect at the scene, and he was booked on charges of felony battery and causing serious injuries. The victim was taken by ambulance to the hospital with “life-threatening injuries,” according to the department. The incident began when the victim got into a verbal argument with several fans of an opposing team regarding the use of port-a-potties, according to the police report. When the argument became physical, the suspect stepped in and allegedly punched the victim, who then fell to the ground and lost consciousness. Police could not determine whether the victim was a Cal or a Fresno State fan, SFPD Sgt. Michael Andraychak said. The case was discharged by the San Francisco District Attorney’s office, according to Erica Derryck, spokesperson for the office. The altercation at the park comes just two weeks after violence broke out at an Aug. 20 preseason NFL game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders, where two men were shot in the parking lot while another man was beaten unconscious in the bathroom at the stadium. — Victoria Pardini

They also have the same jersey number, giving this otherwise serious photo a comedic tone. Tell us in comments what you think Viliami and Matt are talking about.

initiate criminal proceedings for the alcohol intoxication calls, they do forward the cases to the Center for Student Conduct and Community Standards, meaning students could still face consequences on campus. UC policy prohibits student drinking that impairs “work performance, scholarly activities, or student life,” and those in violation “may be subject to corrective action, up to and including dismissal.” Beyond student conduct or legal consequences, students can also run into potential financial repercussions

because of insurance policy if they are brought to the hospital. “If you’re so toasted that you can’t function, the insurance isn’t going to kick in at all,” said Carolyn Kemp, regional manager of Public Relations for the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center. “It’s going to be ‘Oh, damn’ when your parents get the bill.” According to its website, Party Safe at Cal — a campaign run through University Health Services — aims to reduce alcohol-related risks for the campus community by increasing student

awareness about laws concerning alcohol, reducing misconceptions about drinking, increasing risk management on the part of students and supporting alcohol-free party opportunities. “The fact is that most Cal students who chose to drink (not as many as you probably estimate) don’t experience negative consequences because they take precautions,” Karen Hughes, coordinator for the Party Safe campaign, said in an email.

Journey to trash mountain Commission closes March 3 policy complaint

t’s no wonder so many religions preach against an overabundance of material goods. Not only do they distract you from whatever holy activities your soul is supposed to be partaking in (because, y’know, mine is totally doing that), but they can also be pretty annoying. I never thought of myself as a pack rat, but relocating across the Atlantic Ocean makes you realize how many objects weigh down your life. Upon returning from my semester abroad, loaded with more than my body weight of not-totallynecessary necessities, I arrived at my apartment only to be greeted by more crap I had accumulated over the years — a semi-functional chair found on the sidewalk, clothing adopted from friends, a broken hubcap intended to some day metamorphose into a sculpture. In short, some key, can’t-live-without items — or at least that must have been what I told myself when I buried them in my little nest. In a society that depends on our perpetual consumerism to keep its gears in rotation, objects contextualize the defining moments of our lives. The things in my room are charged with memory, brimming with the emotions surrounding their acquisition. Maybe I’m a pack rat by inheritance. Before coming back to Berkeley, I made a pilgrimage to my birthplace of Saint Petersburg, Russia to see family. A visit to a sort of kitsch mecca, this return-to-theorigin entailed a lot of sitting around with old people and scavenging through even older objects. very family has that one relative around whom everybody’s anecdotes revolve — or at least mine does, and that one relative is my grandmother, who never throws anything away. Ever. While her pack rat tendencies usually fall under the butt end of others’ jokes (and by “others� I really mean mine), coming back to my scraggly nest of junk made me eat my own words. I may be guilty of the same quality that makes my grandmother a laughable character, but my last visit to her junkyard paradise made me reconsider whether that is such a bad thing. A lonely woman, my grandmother invited me to her house under the guise of helping her clear out her unwanted rubbish. And by clear, I really mean inspect items like tubes of hardened super glue from the 1970s and listen to speeches about why they can’t be thrown away, while trying to save family photos and stamp collections from destruction. When you’ve spent a lot of time in trash mountain, your priorities can get screwy. You’re not sure what to dispose of, so you end up

Jokes aside, my grandmother’s collection — a collection in the purest form, a collection of everything — connects her to the different epochs of her existence. Having lived through nearly four times as many eras as I have, she has not only witnessed but also consumed what is now history. hough I have scoured her shelves again and again, this time the objects buried in her cave of kitsch shone out like cheap plastic and tin diamonds. Waist-deep in the wasteland, I began to see not only the sentimental value of my grandmother’s hoarded objects but also their historical significance. Maybe my obsessive trips to thrift stores stateside are really my motherland calling me home. Among the cacophonous clutter, I discovered Soviet treasures once mundane now wonderfully bizarre. A box once containing biscuits was weighed down by an enormous array of broaches depicting Lenins of all shapes and sizes — a bronze Lenin in profile, a black-and-white Baby Lenin, Lenin sharp-bearded and bespectacled. This box contained secrets far removed from present reality, a past spoken of only in whispers and indignant rants. A letter addressed to my grandparents in 1964 congratulated them on the birth of a new female citizen who would one day glorify and serve the USSR. A box of tooth powder emblazoned with the pitch-black caricature of an African man with glowing white teeth boasted its government factory origins. As I write in my unkempt bedroom, I silently scold myself for not having my shit under control. But maybe this chaotic room of mine will one day become the playground of a curious imagination, an anthropological record of this equally strange time in history. Or maybe, just maybe, I’m coming up with excuses not to haul myself to Goodwill — to get rid of this stuff, not to do more treasure hunting, that is.

The Berkeley Police Review Commission voted at a meeting Wednesday night to close a policy complaint raised earlier this year regarding police use of force and crowd control tactics at the protests on the UC Berkeley campus in March. The complaint — brought March 17 by Copwatch member Andrea Pritchett — raised issue with the Berkeley Police Department’s possession of less lethal munitions, like pepper spray, at the protest and asked the commission to reevaluate the department’s mutual aid agreement between BPD and UCPD. The decision made at the meeting was aligned with the conclusion reached by the commission’s investigation into the department’s crowd control tactics initiated in April. The recommendation encourages the closing of the complaint, “because there is no evidence that BPD violated its Operational Agreement with UCPD or its crowd control policies.�

Pritchett contested the recommendation at the meeting and expressed concern that the mutual aid agreement could mean that BPD must defer to orders from UCPD that violate its crowd control policies, complaining specifically about the way BPD officers forced protesters and onlookers away from the Wheeler Hall steps during the ledge sit in March. According to the recommendation, BPD acted within the constraints of its policies when dealing with that instance of crowd control. Berkeley police Sgt. Ed Spiller said at the meeting that BPD officers would not break their own department’s policies if UCPD told them to. Commission Vice-Chair Kiran Shenoy said that the language of the mutual aid pact made it “pretty clear� that officers remain subject to the policies of their departments even when assisting another department through mutual aid. Pritchett also raised issue with the fact that the department requesting mutual aid — in this case, UCPD — during an emergency situation determines whether the situation is an emergency and said that this could re-

“Diane Kwon was not only a great golfer but she was a great friend,� she said in a statement. “Her love for life was infectious and everyone who knew her could attest to that. She was not only tons of fun but Diane was also a compassionate and loyal person.� McDaniel said in the statement that Kwon’s brightness will be missed. “What struck me most about her was her vivacious personality and the friendships that she forged wherever we went,� she said. Childs — who roomed with Kwon while she was on the team — said Kwon’s lively attitude and quirks were a source of constant happiness. “I consider myself lucky to have been one of her close friends while in college,� Childs said in the statement. “A couple things you may not know about Diane was that she was a really good dancer and she put ketchup on everything. I only wish everyone could have experienced the joy she gave to me.� On her player biography, Kwon listed Tiger Woods and her father as her biggest influences and said that with one day to live, she would want to drive in a NASCAR race.

height of 60 feet with a use permit. Similarly, another site that commissioners discussed Wednesday was the area at Berkeley and Martin Luther King Jr. ways, which the commission leaned toward making into a buffer designation. Commissioners also discussed whether the northeast portion of the Golden Bear site — located at the southwest corner of Milvia Street and Berkeley Way — would be a buffer, though there were some concerns that since buffers allow for commercial as well as residential use, efforts for affordable housing in that area could be abandoned. Furthermore, the plan’s language for a uniform design based on the historical development in the area gave rise to some contention, as some commissioners and community members felt that it should include contemporary buildings. “Modern architecture is not included in the plan,� said Avram Gur Arye, a design consultant who was present at the meeting. He added that although giving deference to older buildings is reasonable, not all downtown structures need to uniformly follow those designs. The commission will meet again Sept. 21 to continue discussing design guidelines and zoning ordinances. Karinina Cruz covers city government.

Commissioner George Perezvelez emphasized the importance of mutual aid agreements for BPD as well as the departments it provides assistance for. Though the vote did close the complaint, the commission discussed the possibility of forming subcommittees to evaluate current BPD policies concerning its use of force and crowd control tactics. The meeting also marked the first meeting with UC Berkeley junior Marco Amaral, who was recently appointed to the commission by Councilmember Kriss Worthington. “It’s really critical that there be student voices and generation voices (on the commission),� Worthington said. Amaral, who has been involved in several student protests, was one of 17 protesters arrested on suspicion of trespassing after refusing to leave Wheeler Hall during the March 2 protest. He was also involved in the hunger protests during the spring of last year. Sarah Burns is the lead crime reporter.

op-ed | Remembering 9/11

An overdue foreclosure September 11: a veteran’s view CITY AFFAIRS The city’s recent action taken to reignite the development of a vacant lot on Telegraph Avenue was long overdue. After 20 years of allowing the vacant lot on the corner of Telegraph Avenue and Haste Street to sit idly — collecting trash, attracting rodents and becoming an eyesore on Southside — the Berkeley City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to foreclose the property. It’s about time. We are glad that the city has finally taken action, but officials should have intervened much sooner. Likewise, the owner should not have let the property become so disgustingly neglected. Not only did this create a virtual dump on Telegraph, but it also prevented others from developing the lot. The lot was originally home to the Berkeley Inn, but fires destroyed the building over 20 years ago. Telegraph business owner Ken Sarachan later bought the building under an agreement that the city would waive the lien attached to the property if he built affordable housing and a public toilet. That never happened. Sarachan blamed his delay in development on the city’s inability to communicate what is required of him. But because he did not take initiative, he left the lot to languish for too long. Students have walked past this property for years, marveling at its contrast

with the otherwise dense and active Telegraph business district. The lot has tremendous potential but has instead degraded into a run-down patch of grass. The city played a part in allowing for this waste of land. While Councilmember Kriss Worthington, whose district includes the lot, has recently taken steps to address the issue, we don’t understand why he allowed the property to remain in such a dilapidated state since he was first elected to the council in 1996. We urge the city to make real progress as soon as possible. We recognize that a litigation process could be lengthy, but the time and effort would be worth the cost. In deciding how to develop the land, officials should consider the original intent to use the land for affordable housing, but they should also be open to other productive and effective options. After all, 20 years have passed since initial plans were made. A public forum could gauge what the community currently wants and needs, and we urge students to contact their council member to express their priorities. Above all, we want to see the property contribute to Southside’s vibrant atmosphere.

Discussing the future HIGHER EDUCATION Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom’s new group to discuss funding for higher education shows influential potential. As often happens in politics, a new committee has popped up to address a sweeping issue in the state of California, boasting the sole end goal of submitting recommendations. The group, assembled by Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, will throw members of both the private and public sector together in a room to discuss funding for students of the state’s higher education systems, reflecting education’s shift toward more private backing, but also presenting an opportunity for change. While we are concerned that this effort could easily devolve into a fruitless and inactive endeavor — becoming simply a recommendation to a recommender — this presents a great opportunity to spark a necessary conversation, to demand the attention of high-ranking officials and to pull from perspectives of all members of the community. Newsom announced last Friday that members will include the heads of each of the state’s institutions of higher education, as well as members of the business world, such as Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs. But only one student has been included thus far,

UC Berkeley student Jeremy Pilaar. As the group evolves, we urge Newsom to include a student from each of the state’s public higher education systems in the conversation so they can provide their perspectives. In order to ensure that the goals of this body do not die with its recommendations, its members must make a sincere effort to have an impact and play a crucial role. Members of corporate California who are part of the group must recognize that many of their colleagues rose to their positions because of the education they received through the state’s education systems. If the status quo persists, future generations would not have the same opportunities that were available to them. We hope this will motivate business leaders to make efforts to convince others of the importance of preserving education for the future. This group must issue bold and unflinching statements about the state of higher education to bend the ears of state legislators and other influential individuals. This should be an opportunity to observe and assess what will capture the public’s attention and make a difference.

I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when the September 11 attacks occurred, just like every other American. I was sleeping on a couch and woke up early for no reason at all. I turned on the television and started to watch the news, since that was the only program on that early in the morning. Soon news broke about the attack. I sat there for hours absorbing the tragedy that was unfolding in front of me. I was horrified. But, as time progressed and the details of the attack were made public, I became more ambivalent about the entire situation. Since I lived just outside of Seattle, the tragedy turned into something impersonal by proximity. I was far removed from the actual destruction and death, so eventually the media coverage made it seem unreal. 9/11 just signified an event. Yes, a tragic event, but in my mind that tragedy was only a fleeting memory when

the anniversary of 9/11 arrived. I really had no interest or feelings about it. When I was 24, I decided I wanted an education, so that I could become something more than what my present path held for me. Up until this time, I had no internal compass guiding my life — I was just drifting aimlessly. I applied to film school and was accepted, but the cost of attending was astronomical, and with no parental help, I had to rely solely on financial aid. This emphasis on education changed the trajectory of my life. I made a deal with myself that if I didn’t get enough money for school, then I would join the Army and get it that way. Needless to say, my financial aid was insufficient, and within four weeks, I was off to basic training at Fort Knox. 9/11 played no part in my decision to join the Army — all I wanted was a better life. I had no illusions that it was my duty to fight because the country had been attacked, nor any notions that I wanted some sort of patriotic glory. None of these thoughts entered my mind, even when my drill sergeants were constantly reminding us that we would be deployed, we would see com-

bat, and 9/11 was the flash point to the predicament we would find ourselves in. I still never thought of 9/11 as my reason to fight — I never really thought about fighting at all. This may sound strange to some — it even sounds rather weird to me now — but I was too focused on my needs and goals. Just like me, a lot of people who join the military are looking for upward mobility, a way in which to advance themselves in society. In all of my training, basic and combat medic school, most people I met joined for education benefits, job training or to escape poverty. There were only a few who joined because of 9/11. I used to feel almost ashamed when a civilian would thank me for serving in the Army because it wasn’t me who was serving: It was the Army who was serving me. In basic training, the drill sergeants are always trying find some way to punish you through physical exertion. One day, after about eight hours of rigorous training, my drill sergeant brought us into the woods where it was cool, allowed us to sit down and

memory: Veteran finds meaning in 9/11

op-ed | Remembering 9/11

Remembering to not forget: my story By Baruch Nutovic Special to the Daily Cal opinion@dailycal.org Our school normally sent us home on buses. But on that day, the administration could not assume that we still had parents. We were kept waiting in the assembly room for hours while they contacted our parents, one at a time, asking them to pick us up. I remember Sept. 11 vividly. Most of my childhood was spent in the New Jersey suburbs a commute away from Manhattan. It was the start of my fifth grade year. After a long summer break, I was getting accustomed to school again. At the school I attended, the vast majority of the children had parents who worked in the city. The long hours I spent in the assembly room were some of the most traumatic in my life. I had no way of knowing if my father, who works in Manhattan, had been killed or not. Hundreds of other children shared that anxiety, contributing to a crazed atmosphere. The vast majority would continue to know family life as they had known it. A few of them, however, had gaping holes torn in the fabric of their existence. My mother finally arrived to rescue us from the hellish torment of the assembly room. She informed us that our father was fine, which lifted a load off our young shoulders. During the car ride home my younger brother asked about the status of the Yankee game we were supposed to be attending that night, with the sweet naivete only a child can possess. My mother informed him that it was cancelled. He was very upset ­­— more upset than he had been all day. It was as though missing that Yankee game made the events of the day real and confirmed that he was not dreaming. We still have tickets to that Yankee game. At home I watched the same television broadcast over and over again. The planes striking the towers. The towers coming down — coming down on streets I had walked — coming down in the city of my birth. I did not get my homework done that night. For that I was punished the next day. My teacher, like so many others amongst us, simply could not come to

grips with the magnitude of 9/11. The country came together in the aftermath of 9/11. Petty rivalries were put aside and our common identity as Americans took precedence. At YankeeRed Sox games in Boston’s Fenway Park, fans showed up with “I love New York” and “We love the Yankees” signs. Anyone with any knowledge of the Yankee-Red Sox rivalry can appreciate just how extraordinary that was. President Bush did a truly incredible job of uniting and inspiring the country in the dark days after Sept. 11, evidenced by the fact that his approval ratings hit ninety percent. His bullhorn speech at Ground Zero, where he famously promised that “the people who knocked these towers down will hear all of us soon,” is not one I will ever forget. Our nation was filled with righteous anger. For once there was a consensus: we were a nation at war. Entering the debate about the wisdom and propriety of the wars we have fought in the last ten years is beyond the purview of this article. But that we are engaged in a broader war against Islamic extremism cannot be doubted. That war is being fought on too many fronts for all of them to be enumerated here. Terrorist acts, however, remains a favored tactic of our enemies. Many terrorist plots have been broken up over the last ten years. Only one, at Fort Hood, was successful. We

have been very fortunate, and must be cognizant of our good fortune. Vigilance will be required in order to ensure that the next ten years are not more sanguinary than the last ten have been. There are Islamic fundamen It was as talists in our country though missplotting the ing that murder of Americans Yankee game every day — the death of made the Osama Bin events of the Laden has not changed day real and that. confirmed On this, that he was the tenth anniversary not dreamof 9/11, let us seek to ing. come together as — Brauch Nutovic we did in the immediate aftermath of the attacks. Let us remember that, despite our differences in race, religion, political views and much more, we are all Americans. What unites us is greater and more powerful than what divides us.

from page 4 proceeded to ask people why they joined the Army. This was a clever trap. The drill sergeant was waiting for someone to relax and fall. But before that eventually happened, I heard the story of a man in his mid-thirties who was from the U.S. Virgin Islands. His last name was “Smith,” and he proceeded to tell a story that humbled me and made me feel guilty for joining the Army under my selfish pretenses. “Smith” had a wife and three kids, and he used to work for a huge casino where he was head of security. He said he made over $100,000 a year doing this, but once the 9/11 attacks happened, he felt it was his duty to join the Army and do his part. I was astonished that a man with a family to support and responsibilities would have made such a dramatic decision. He had convictions, a moral code, a sense of duty and was unselfish.

This made an impact on me, and while serving, it brought 9/11 from the recesses of my mind to a place where I at least acknowledged it for what it signified. With me being a combat medic, I was always helping soldiers with their medical out-processing so they could deploy, and when I knew they were going to Afghanistan, I always thought of 9/11 as the reason this person was being sent away. I kept my ideological thoughts to myself and knew these men and women were doing what they were trained to do: fulfill their duty. So ten years later, I see 9/11 as a tragic event in our country’s history. It’s the men and women who perished on 9/11 along with those who have or are still fighting that should be remembered, and it is because of 9/11 that these people have lost something.

Solano Avenue is a local treasure with the charm of a small town and an unmatched array of restaurants and retail establishments – including professional and personal services. Where else can you find a larger collection of independently-owned “mom and popâ€? enterprises, or such a dynamic range of goods and services? Where else can you find a more culturally rich group of businesses with owners from all over the map? (Most of them live within the community.)

Colorado always plays well against teams that come in that are good ... It’s gonna be a 60-minute war.” — Ashley Ambrose, Cal defensive backs coach

Don’t be sleeping on the Buffs in Boulder

Jonathan Kuperberg jkuperberg@dailycal.org

familiar with many of the opposing players. Due to the Buffaloes’ staff overhaul, the two won’t know too much beyond that. The wave of new coaches — including former Cal offensive line coach Steve Marshall — mean plenty of new schemes in Boulder on both sides of the ball. The Bears must rely on what they saw in their opponent’s 34-17 loss to Hawaii last week. “That’s really the only true film we have,” Kiesau said. Added head coach Jeff Tedford: “There’s not a lot of history. We really have to prepare for a lot of things.” Colorado returns tailback Rodney Stewart, who struggled against Cal (80 yards on 29 carries) but rushed for at least 100 yards in six games on his way to second-team All-Big-12 honors. The 5-foot-6 senior has started at least one game every season, and totaled 1,318 yards in 2010.

We all know what happened when Cal played Colorado last year. The Bears embarrassed the Buffaloes, 52-7. Colorado quarterback Tyler Hansen threw three picks. The Buffs coughed up the ball twice. It was ugly. But that was last year, and at Memorial Stadium. And Colorado is a different team at home. Last season, the Buffaloes lost all of their road games, aside from their season opener against Colorado State in Denver. In the friendly confines of Folsom Field, however, Colorado beat the likes of Georgia, Kansas State and Iowa State. The Buffs crushed Hawaii by 18 last season at home; interestingly enough, they lost to the Warriors by 17 last week in Hawaii. Colorado’s only two home losses in 2010 were to two tough teams, Baylor and Texas Tech, by a combined nine points. Saturday’s meeting between Cal and Colorado will not be a repeat of last year. The team knows this, or rather, says it knows this. “Our thoughts aren’t really on last year at all, so we’re going into this game as ... it is a new team, really,” Bears defensive lineman Trevor Guyton said. “That was last year,” defensive lineman Ernest Owusu said. “The win last year was great and all, but this is a completely different team.” Certainly the D-line got the memo, but how can the players not think about last year’s wipe-out? There have been games in the past in which the

Senior wide receiver Marvin Jones opened the season two touchdown grabs. He caught three passes for 77 yards and a touchdown against Colorado last season.

Bears travel, brace for Colorado’s revenge bid Quick Look:

By Jack Wang | Senior Staff jwang@dailycal.org A year ago, Tyler Hansen entered Memorial Stadium and left with one of his worst statlines as a Colorado quarterback. On the first two drives, he couldn’t move past his own 12. His third fizzled with a lost fumble. And after taking six sacks from Cal’s defense in that 52-7 loss, his body might still be aching. This Saturday, the senior will have a shot at redemption in Boulder, Colo., against many of those same Bears (1-0), who hit the road for the first time this season. Like last year, the Buffaloes’ (0-1) home opener at Folsom Field is a nonconference game scheduled while the idea of the Pac-12 was still in its very nascent stages. Chances are good, though,

Then senior-wideout Scotty McKnight called the loss “the most embarrassing game of my life.” The program’s all-time leader in touchdown catches and receptions is gone now, drafted by the New York Jets in the seventh round, but the rest of the roster still remembers it well. Two of Cal’s offseason coaching hires — Ashley Ambrose (defensive backs) and Eric Kiesau (wide receivers) — were lifted from Colorado and are

Bears look to kennel Huskies, climb rankings in weekend play By Eric Lee | Staff etlee@dailycal.org Cal field hockey coach Shellie Onstead knows that earning the respect of her peers in the NCAA this season is going to be a tough task. After starting the season just outside the top-20, the Bears (3-0) are still on the outside looking in despite two upset wins over No. 16 Louisville and No. 13 Michigan State and a dominating conference victory later the following week. “I was disappointed, but sometimes you have to earn a little respect and once they start noticing you, you have a better chance,” Onstead said. “For now, we’ll just keep taking care of business.” While the Bears see themselves deserving of top-20 recognition, they still keep their season and their current performance in perspective.

Quick Look: When: Friday at 6 p.m. where: maxwell family field “I think we have to be careful about considering ourselves that great after just three wins,” the longtime coach said. “The players are self-motivated so for me I just want them to play good hockey and things will take care of themselves. We know where we stand so we’ll go and earn it.” This Friday at 6:00 p.m., Cal will once again hope to prove that it is a legitimate national contender, as the Bears face No. 18 Northeastern in their home opener at Maxwell Family Field. Like Cal, the Huskies (4-0) started the season outside the top 20 but jumped into the national spotlight

Cal to host seven home matches over next eight days By Christina Jones | Senior Staff cjones@dailycal.org In collegiate volleyball, a sevenmatch home stand usually translates to a few weekends hosting opponents in your gym. When the No. 1 Cal volleyball team welcomes University of TexasArlington, to Haas Pavilion at 1 p.m. on Friday, it will mark the first of seven straight home matches. In eight days. One of the toughest matches of the year against No. 3 Stanford takes place on Tuesday, after four games this weekend in the Hilton Garden Inn Classic and before two tilts next weekend against Colorado and Utah. “We were a little nervous about (this weekend), just because we play Stanford on Tuesday,” redshirt junior Shannon Hawari said. “Hopefully it’ll just be more experience for us going into the (next) weekend, and I’m sure the coaches will do a good job giving us enough time to rest before we play Stanford.” Coach Rich Feller doesn’t feel he has

He sees this weekend’s tournament against lesser opponents as an opportunity to get more people experience, toy with some different lineups and get his Tuesday starters an adequate balance of tune-up time on the court and rest. While the Bears (6-0) will play more matches this weekend, they’re taking it relatively easy compared to Stanford, which takes on two top-10 teams. The Bears will wrap up the preseason without having played a ranked opponent, and Georgetown (4-2) is the only team Cal will face this weekend that enters the tournament with a winning record. Thus far, Feller’s squad has yet to drop a set. “The reason we scheduled the two double-days (this weekend) was just to
