SU Chancellor Timothy White attended an SF State faculty function Tuesday followed by a free reception for students at the Village on Centennial Square Courtyard outside Subway for a meet and greet on campus. The Chancellor is visiting SF State this week as part of his tour of the California State University system and all of its 23 campuses. Wearing a charcoal gray pinstripe suit and a University students chatting about his previous visits to the college. “It’s a vibrant campus with a feeling of community,” said White. “You draw students from all over the world and make them feel at home. It’s a great way to learn.” Wednesday, the Chancellor’s last day on campus, will be spent conferring with students and faculty as well as listening to research presentations in the library. “It’s really been a positive experience,” said SF State President Leslie E. Wong in between photo ops with students. “It’s a chance for him to learn more about us and for us to learn more about the CSU.” University representatives sent out emails last week inviting students to the free catered reception. “We wanted to show that school organizations have school spirit as well as team spirit,” said 19-year-old sophomore Tori Cruz who brought out her Cheer at SF State team members to show their support for the Chancellor.

White was appointed last year to manage the state’s college system, which has a budget of $5 billion and employs 44,000 faculty to instruct 437,000 students. He was hired to replace retiring Chancellor Charles Reed who managed the state’s largest college system for 15 years. White immediately asked for a 10 percent pay cut to his own salary in light of the state’s budget crisis. The move eased tensions between the California Faculty Association and the CSU system.
This semester, the SF State Student Health Center is partnering with a pharmaceutical company to provide students with free GARDASIL, a vaccine that protects against the human papillomavirus, or HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection. In order to receive the vaccine for free, students must apply for the pharmaceutical company’s patient assistance program. The easiest way to apply for the program is through the SF State Student Health Center, which is helping to streamline the application process. “College is a big time of exploration for sexuality and things like that,” said Aimée Williams, lead health educator from SF State student health services. “It’s important to be aware of your health during this time and this is a great opportunity to protect your health and the health of your future partners.” The prevalence of this STI is especially sigcenter is strongly encouraging all students, male and female, to get vaccinated, said Williams.
White has also pledged to implement an alcohol awareness program throughout the CSU system run by Born in Argentina, White immigrated to Canada with his parents and later to California before earning a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to his appointment as the seventh Chancellor of the CSU system, White worked as the Chancellor of the University of California Riverside, which he grew to its largest student population in history.

URING THE FIRST FEW weeks of the semester the Quad in front of Malcolm X Plaza becomes an impromptu
Greek community’s Rush Week. These weeks are for curious students of all grades to look into joining an SF State Greek sorority or fraternity by rushing, or taking an interest in the group by attending their events and meeting its members. Fraternities and sororities set up booths around the Quad and in front of the Cesar Chavez Student Center to recruit new members into one of the 29 Greek organizations on campus. These students, known as potentials, rushees or interests while rushing. “There are activities throughout the week where we get to know the pledges,” said Jesse Hildebrant, a Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity member. “It’s about meeting lifelong friends,” he said. At the end of Rush Week potentials receive bids that invite them to join the organization’s pledge process, which can last anywhere from eight weeks to a whole year. “Sorority means sisterhood,” said Tina Ou of the Rho Delta Chi sorority. “You have people to rely on. We do everything together,” she said. The process known as Rush Week varies between Greek school.

Top 5 things to know about Greek life at SF State ayesha@mail.sfsu.edu
One of the most common ways for college students to get involved in school activities and make new friends is to join a fraternity or sorority. The idea of joining a sorority or fraternity conjures images of underage drinking, toga parties and bad behavior, but there are other positive aspects to Greek life such as community service and school spirit. The Greek community has been a part of from Greek life at other colleges, especially with the absence of chapter houses. “We are such a commuter school,” said David Zhu, member of Phi Kappa Tau and community relations chair for the Student Center Governing Board. “Everyone comes from across the Bay, sometimes even from as far as San Jose. So the sense of community isn’t as strong as other schools.” Despite this key difference, Greek life is still an exceptionally prominent part of
student life at SF State. should know about Greek life at SF State. NATIONAL VS. LOCAL There are two types of sororities and fraternities at SF State. National groups have a headquarters, national council and chapters spread across the country. Local organizations do not have a national headquarters and are run by local chapters. They’re smaller, but have lower fees and manage their own budgets, activities and charities themselves. Local organizations, like Delta Kappa Sigma, have low fees such as $175 per semester, while nationals have average fees of $500 - $800, according to the Center for Sorority and Fraternity Life at Washington State University. COMMUNITY SERVICE Community service and philanthropy
are also major components to Greek life. The Phi Kappa Tau fraternity partners with the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority to get their service hours in by volunteering at Blackies Hay Day Carnival event and the March of Dimes Parade along the Embarcadero every year, said Phi Kappa Tau member Alex Helman. NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES Another perk of being in a fraternity or sorority is the endless networking opportunities. Students in fraternities and sororities develop connections with peers that can last beyond their college years; your brother or sister could be the one to put you up for a dream job. GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING Being a part of the Greek community at SF State comes with academic requirements; some organizations have GPA minimums that often comply with or are above the school requirements. To motivate members to keep their grades up, Greek organizations sometimes enforce a restricted membership status to help them focus on studies rather than social activities. A lot of organizations have study hours to help members balance school and Greek life. HOUSING Greek life at SF State lacks one element: housing. Most other campuses boast stately mansions with big, bold Greek letters on the front door, but a walk down Font Blvd. lacks such images. Despite this fact, many members of the Greek community group up and move into their own rented houses or apartments — without the letters.

ANY students are faced with the challenge of staying healthy on a college campus — a struggle that often involves weight gain, stress and loss of sleep — but by taking advantage of on-campus resources, students can put their health woes behind them. According to a 2005 national health survey, 3 in 10 college students are overweight or obese. Students are cramming for tests, rushing to their next class, grabbing high calorie snacks and drinks and often ending up a part of this statistic. SF State offers services and programs covering student health needs from psychological support to nutritional guidance to exercise classes. According to Aimée Williams, lead health educator from SF State student health services, the general formula for staying healthy can be organized into four categories: nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress. Each of these things are dependent on and intertwined with the others. “Finding a balance is very important,”

NUTRITION A common pitfall for students and their nutrition is alcohol intake. Williams encourages students to always eat something if they are drinking, but to also remain mindful of the calories and sugar they are consuming through alcoholic drinks. Katy Yukawa, nursing major, said nutrition plays a huge role in her success. “In the past year I have revamped and tightened up my eating habits and the benand it makes me feel good knowing that I am putting clean foods in my body.

Upon an appointment students can learn how to make healthy choices with a PEACH assistant. EXERCISE According to the President’s Council on Fitness, engage in 30 minutes of physical activity each day and only one in three adults receive the recommended amount of physical activity each week. It’s recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that adults get a minimum of two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week and muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days a week that work all major muscle groups. Williams recommends that students get in their recommended exercise by taking advantage of the beautiful outdoors that surrounds them in San Francisco. “Find something that you can do each day,” said Williams. “In between classincorporate exercise each day.” The campus gymnasium and pool are open to all students with a valid ID card;

SLEEP The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults get between seven to nine hours of sleep each night — a number that many college students never come close to. Kana Thompson, 20, nursing major, said that the importance of sleep should not be discounted, as it is the bedrock for many other health related issues.
“When students don’t get enough sleep, our grades slip and we certainly don’t feel like exercising,” Thompson said. Not getting enough sleep can be directly linked to weight gain and a higher level of stress. According to Williams, “When you’re tired, you’re more likely to drink caffeinated beverages, which have a lot of sugar in them.” STRESS According to Stress & The College Student, more than 30 percent of all college freshman report feeling overwhelmed and 38 percent of college women report feelThere are many free counseling and psychological services on SF State’s campus and counselors through the Counseling and Psychological Services Center on campus. “You have all these people who are wanting to help you and see you succeed,” said Williams. “If you ask, someone will be waiting to help you.”

GARDASIL protects against four of the leading types of HPV and is given to both men and women in three doses over the course of six months. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, with more than 40 types that can infect the genitals of both men and women. Several of these HPV strains can also infect the throat and mouth. HPV is passed from partner to partner through genital contact, namely through vaginal and anal sex. Those infected often do not show any symptoms and HPV can cause cancer, most notably cervical cancer in female patients. HPV vaccines are cited by the CDC as being one of the safest, most effective ways to prevent contraction of the disease. The makers of the vaccine, Merck, created their patient assistance program to allow low income patients better access to expensive medications. “Like many pharmaceutical companies, (Merck) have expensive products that many people can’t afford,” said Carol Brewer, administrative analyst for the Student Health Center. “We are trying to help smooth out the process of getting these vaccines for free because we know how important it is for students to receive them.” The health center is helping to do so by providing students with guidance in

the other two doses at the appropriate times. Without this process, students obtaining the shot at the Student Health Center would normally pay $519 for the complete three doses at $173 per dose. Many students on campus agree that this is an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed. “There are a lot of students who can’t afford this vaccine; there are a lot of people on campus that are struggling,” said Steven Hopper, 20, BECA major. “So this is a pretty important thing, I think it’s great.” Voicing similar sentiments, Williams was quick to encourage students to apply, “If someone doesn’t have health insurance, this is a great opportunity to get this vaccine for free. Most people are being approved. Come in and get signed up.”

Campus venue preps for grand kickoff

ITH THE FALL semester underway at SF State, students are turning their easygoing summer mindsets into more studious demeanors. The Depot is looking to combine the best of both worlds, offering students the chance to dance, listen to music and have fun in an academic campus environment. The free event, which is open to students and their guests, takes place Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. The show will feature three notable up-and-coming acts in the indie rock scene: Mikal Cronin, who has also experienced success as a member of Ty Segall’s touring band, The Fresh & Onlys and Cool Ghouls. “This is a solid lineup,” said Stephanie Escoto, manager of The Depot. “It’s a show that people would pay $20 to see in the city, and you’re getting it for free on campus.” Sierra Taoatao, a design major at City College of San Francisco, echoes these sentiments. “The lineup for this show is really good. I always enjoy seeing the Cool Ghouls, supporting my friends and dancing along, but I’m also pretty excited to see The Fresh & Onlys since I haven’t seen them before,” said Taoatao. Local band Cool Ghouls’ ties to the SF State campus run deep. Not only has the band performed at The Depot before, but it is also composed of two alumni and one current student of SF State. “It’s cool playing for and with people we went to school with,” said Ryan Wong, guitarist for Cool Ghouls, who is currently in his last year as a BECA major at SF State. Because The Depot management estimates a large turnout, the Student Center’s recreation and dining level will be transformed into a concert venue to accommodate the expected crowd. Shows in the R&D level started last year when The Depot began booking

It creates a much better environment,” said Escoto. “We just try to make it so you don’t feel like you’re at school.” Support for The Depot has continued to rise in the last few years, and growing attendance for all events is giving the venue a chance to book bigger shows with increasing regularity. “Expect bigger bands,” said Escoto. “At least once a month we are going to bring one good band in whether ly started having a name. People who are in the same

scene know who we are.” While The Depot usually focuses on bands that are predominately of the rock genre, Escoto said they are working to bring diversity to the venue this year by collaborating with other SF State groups such as the Student Life Activities Board and Associated Students, Inc. to book more hip-hop artists, as well as adding an open-mic event featuring hip-hop and soul artists. The Depot will also look to add non-musical events to its calendar, such as board game nights, art socials and poetry readings.

Student services remain top priority With the merging of two student government bodies at SF State underway, questions about how they will maintain their current services have arisen. The website for the Enhanced Student Auxiliary — the term for the merging project of the Associated Students, Inc. and the Cesar Chavez Student Center — explains the “consolidation is meant to increase the cies in providing programs and services to SF State students.” Whether or not students know it, lumped into their tuition and scholastic fees are a $54 student body association fee and an $82 student body center fee. These fees cover membership into ASI along with access to its services and maintenance of the Cesar Chavez Student Center. The school has stressed that the consolidation of these two organizations will make providing student programs more effective. Within the “Enhanced Auxiliary Resolution” that outlined the reasons for merging the two groups was a
request by the Trustees of the California State University system that “each campus synergies of operations…” Understanding how the school plans is certainly a valid question. The Enhanced Student Auxiliary’s website says one of its missions is to make better use of the fees charged to students for these services, with hopes to eventually decrease the fees.
kharuta@mail.sfsu.edu
A decrease in fees is a mission many students will agree with, but not if it means a loss of essential programs or a shortstaffed auxiliary to run the services on which students depend. Students commute to SF State many distances and rely on an eclectic blend of activities, health services, moral support and sense of community from their home away from home. ASI has been a tremendous asset in offering programs that assist students, like a book loan program, peer mentorship, the Women’s Center, sexual health facilitation, legal advice and student events. The Cesar Chavez Student Center provides food options, a San Francisco and SF State-related information center, and a huge selection of student-run organizations. The more transparency displayed as these two pivotal groups come together, the better. As paying students — many who depend on the schools student-focused services — they deserve to know how their needs will be secured and met, and to have the comfort of knowing exactly what services are being provided by the fees they are charged.
