UC Davis welcomes most competitive class to date Class of 2017 holds lowest admittance rate in UC Davis history

Jason Pham Aggie News Writer

Approximately 5,150 first-years are expected to attend UC Davis this Fall Quarter, hitting just above the enrollment target of 5,100 set by UC Davis Undergraduate Admissions.

Of this pool, the incoming class boasts an average SAT score of 1796 and an average weighted grade-point average (GPA) of 3.99, according to Walter Robinson, executive director of Undergraduate Admissions at UC Davis.

“I took seven AP courses and had a solid ACT score and everything was above the average and I was actually waitlisted. And I knew a bunch of really qualified people that did not get in,” said Katie Murry, a first-year biology major.

The incoming class holds an estimated admittance rate of 39 percent. This

Several university buildings, cars vandalized during summer UC Davis Police continue their investigation Jordyn May Aggie News Writer

The UC Davis Police Department is looking into the vandalism of several University buildings, including Sproul Hall, Arboretum, TB 009, South Hall, Dutton Hall, Educational Opportunity, Aggie Village, the School of Education and the University House, that happened early in the morning on Aug. 25. Additionally, a racial slur targeting the black community was written in chalk on a blackboard in Dutton Hall.

Damage was inflicted upon several cars, and more than 30 windows were broken. There was damage to the inside of the buildings, but no private information was stolen.

“The vandalism happened late at night and in early morning so no work was disrupted,” said Martin Ling, Assistant Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs.

According to Donald Dudley, the building coordinator for Dutton Hall, the racial slur was written in one of the Student Academic Success Center classrooms on the second floor of Dutton Hall.

UC Davis Police Chief Matt Carmichael confirmed the epithet was written in graffiti style in a conference room.

According to Carmichael, the crimes could have been committed by a single person or a group of people, but there are no suspects in the case as of yet.

The racial slur and vandalism appear to be connected as both crimes were committed at the same time, according to Ling. It is unknown if

Dutton Hall was targeted specifically for the racial slur, as the perpetrators and their motivations are unknown.

“It is interesting that these incidents occurred the same week as the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement,” Ling said.

Although there are cameras in Dutton Hall, the perpetrator was not caught on camera.

“Campus patrol officers walk the affected buildings daily and the buildings are given greater attention at night,” Carmichael said. “It helps to give the people a sense of safety to know that the police are watching and care.”

In response to these crimes, UC Davis Police have increased patrols.

According to Carmichael, the police hope to make changes in the next few weeks that include a more structured way of patrol and a better use of resources.

“With a grant we were given we are hoping to purchase new technology and equipment,” Carmichael said.

According to Andy Fell, UC Davis News Spokesperson, there has been a general increase in security and patrols on campus. Volunteers and students assist the police with these patrols.

The Aggie Escort Service is an example of student patrol, hired to check critical buildings seven nights a week as an additional resource to the campus police.

“Students should not be concerned about safety. University of California, Davis is a safe campus overall,” Ling said.“It is important to make people aware and alert of what is happening. People can report any suspicions to the police to help bring the perpetrators to justice.”

is a six percent drop from the 45 percent admit rate of last year’s incoming class and nine percent lower than the 48 percent admit rate from two years ago. According to Robinson, dropping admit rates aren’t expected to stop over upcoming years.

“I believe we are continually going to be more selective as we will generate more applications. We probably won’t be altering many more freshman spaces.

There is some growth that’s protected that might keep a little stability in the admit rate. But I think still by some fraction, it will continue to drop,” Robinson said.

According to Robinson, the lower admit rate means UC Davis is becoming more competitive. However, he claims the withstanding reason is the number of applications the admission PROFILE on 11

Janet Napolitano elected as new UC president Students, University executives vocalize support, uncertainty Melissa Ditrich Aggie News Writer

NE W S I N B RI E F Marsh faces trial for Davis double homicide case At a preliminary hearing on Sept.

13, it was revealed that Daniel William Marsh confessed to the double homicide of elderly Davis residents.

After an hour-long hearing in the Yolo County Superior Court, Marsh was ordered to stand trial for the April 13 murders of Oliver Northup, 87, and Claudia Maupin, 76.

At Marsh’s arraignment on Tuesday, defense attorney Deputy Public Defender Ronald Johnson said he would seek to have some of the charges against his client dismissed, but declined to comment further on the motion.

Judge Timothy Fall set Nov. 1 as the date for the hearing regarding the motion and Johnson has until Oct. 18 to file the motion.

During the preliminary hearing, details emerged about the night the victims were found. Officer Mark Hermann, who was on patrol the night of April 14, found a cut window screen where Marsh had entered the couple’s Cowell Boulevard home.

Hermann first saw the couple’s bodies through their bedroom window.

According to The Davis Enterprise, Yolo County Chief Deputy Coroner Gina Moya testified at the preliminary hearing that both victims MARSH on 13

UC announce pay cuts for service workers

On July 18, Janet Napolitano was elected by UC Regents as the first woman president of the University of California (UC) system. Napolitano follows previous UC president Mark Yudof, who worked at the position for five years. Napolitano formerly worked as President Barack Obama’s U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security.

In her statement addressing Napolitano’s nomination for UC president, UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi showed support for the nomination.

“I am very pleased and excited with the nomination of Janet Napolitano as the next president of the University of California. Secretary Napolitano has a distinguished record of public service and leadership,” Katehi said in a statement.

Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Ralph Hexter shared similar thoughts to Katehi’s on Napolitano becoming the UC president. Hexter said that he has not worked with Napolitano previously but is looking forward to meeting her.

“I am positive and optimistic about what she will bring to the University,” Hexter said.

Napolitano will receive an annual salary of $570,000, a $21,000 decrease from her predecessor.

This salary will fall in the bottom 25th percentile of presidents of similar academic institutions.

Napolitano will also receive a one-time relocation fee of $142,000 and $8,916 per year for car expenses.

In parts of California, there have been protests and anger focused toward Napolitano’s experience in working as the Homeland Security secretary. Her work with the Secure Communities program, which enforces U.S. immigration laws, has been a concern for many UC students.

ASUCD Vice President Bradley Bottoms addressed Napolitano’s previous experience.

“Although I am sure that President Napolitano’s experiences will allow her to effectively manage the PRESIDENT on 11

On Sept. 24, UC administrators announced pay cuts and health benefits from more than 8,000 employees. According to a press release from AFSCME 3299, this cut would amount to a 1.5 percent decrease in take home pay for workers making an average of $35,000 per year.

This cut is another in a series of confrontation between the UC and AFSCME 3299, the largest service union that represents 22,000 UC employees, who have been bargaining for higher wage and better benefits for over a year. Negotiations have reached a standstill several times, and many workers’ demands have been met with cuts in wage. Earlier in September, a similar standstill between patient care workers and the UC resulted in another cut in pay.

UC employees affected by the pay cut will include custodians, gardeners, food service workers and facilities maintenance staff. Many of these workers are eligible for public assistance.

Over 2,000 upper level management will retire on six-figure retirement packages.

AFSCME 3299 stated that the UC has attempted to intimidate employees out of their collective bargaining rights.

The Aggie was unable to reach UCOP for a comment.

EDITORIALS FROM THE BOARD

Letter from the editor

ELIZABETH ORPINA Editor in Chief CLAIRE TAN Managing Editor

Believe it or not, The Aggie used to publish five times a week. About four years ago, the newspaper ceased to print on Fridays in order to save money. Last year, the Editor in Chief had the difficult task of making an even bigger change: cutting production down to one day a week, again, to save money.

With each transition to a new production schedule, The Aggie was able to concentrate its focus on bigger projects: elongating investigative pieces, opening up time for design and multimedia projects and allowing for higher-quality writing.

However, what is a great paper without the knowledge of a stable future?

It’s no secret that The Aggie has struggled to keep up with the changing news industry, with production costs rising and advertising revenue decreasing. Not many people seem to reach for a newspaper for information when

a piece of technology is right in front of them.

We’re not alone in this struggle.

College newspapers nationwide have had problems maintaining readership, staying in print and securing advertisers. So, no, this isn’t something that The Aggie did to itself. We’re one of the remaining college newspapers that is still financially independent. We’re proud, but we’re also realistic.

With no journalism program at Davis, it’s imperative that this almost 100-year-old newspaper exists for the community that reads it and the students that depend on it for employment, experience and the joy of print.

And so comes my task as Editor in Chief: saving The Aggie.

The plan so far is to embrace the changes that were made last quarter, amping up our visual and design content, putting together longform journalistic pieces and increasing transparency within our

staff as well as with the public. But this year, we have no choice but to approach business from a different angle, increase awareness of our needs and ask for help.

We want to continue being an outlet for our opinionated colleagues, the place to go for breaking news, the full-page spreads of entertainment and science articles, the spot to read inspiring stories and the location for your weekly sports recaps.

So if you want to get the best hands-on journalism experience on this campus, apply now. If you have ideas or connections that you believe can help us, please share.

We’re all ears, because we are your paper. We hope you depend on us, because believe it or not, we depend on you too. Welcome back to school, Aggies.

Please send all questions, concerns, thoughts and sympathies to ELIZABETH ORPINA at editor@theaggie.org.

Questions and expectations

UCOP On Jan. 18, President of the University of California Mark Yudof announced that he was stepping down, and six months later it was announced that former governor of Arizona and Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano would be taking the reins.

On Sept. 30, Napolitano will move into her Oakland office and begin her term in the University of California Office of the President (UCOP), and we are both excited and apprehensive for her new presence.

The change highlights ways in which the UC system is becoming more progressive, such as how Napolitano is the first female president since the UC’s inception 145 years ago. She is also getting paid a $570,000 base salary, which is $21,000 less than Yudof ’s and 75

less than the salaries of comparable university presidents, indicating slightly more sensible spending on the UC’s part.

However, Napolitano’s professional background gives us reason to question whether she’s the right choice for the UC system. She has no experience with university education; rather, her current job experience includes political administration and national protection. While this may have nothing to with higher education, Napolitano’s experience may help her with the political aspects of this job.

Regardless of whether Napolitano’s reign will bring good or bad change, we want to make sure that, above all, she keeps the students’ interests in mind.Yudof more than doubled UC tuition during his term — we demand this doesn’t happen with Napolitano.

Furthermore, as long as Californians are paying the taxes, Californians ought to be the ones enrolled in the classes. Although we appreciate everything out-of-state and international students have done for our community, California students should be the focus of admissions.

We understand that the UC is in need of money, but we believe there are better ways of financing the campuses.

We’re not the only ones unsure of Napolitano’s new seat at the top of the UC hierarchy — both UC Berkeley and UC Irvine’s student governments have recently passed “no confidence” bills against Napolitano, accompanied by a list of demands and deadlines.

We hope Janet Napolitano has a successful term prioritizing student needs. But we’ll be keeping an eye on her.

On Flashers with TANYA AZARI

W

hen I was 10, my primary definition for the word “flash” was the Pokémon technique used to blind an opponent or light up a cave. By the next year, I was more inclined to think of my newly-learned definition — a (typically male) pants-dropping or coatopening technique used to lewdly reveal oneself in public.

And then, five months ago, at 11 p.m. outside of the Gap in the Davis Commons, it happened to me.

I will create soapboxes instead of silences. I will try my hardest to get everyone’s voice heard.

No, not the former flash — Pokémon aren’t real (still bummed about that one). The latter, in all its crime-logged, high-school-hallwaywhispered, true-urban-legend glory. A public penis.

A friend and I were merely trying to enjoy our Thursday night, stuff strewn across several chairs in the

Commons, having a very pleasant conversation about dating and sexuality, when a strange guy decided to interrupt us. With his penis.

He had been stretching against the wall a few stores down, wearing a plain white T-shirt and curiously tight running pants. After observing the pants, I thought nothing more of his presence until I looked up and saw him, pants riding about 6 inches lower on his hips, brandishing his erection in our direction while attempting to make an intense level of eye contact with us that could only be described as “Edward Cullenesque.”

I paused in our conversation only to let out an irate “Oh HELL no!”, subsequently followed by a “Put that thing back in your fucking pants before I call the cops on your ass.”

He turned the corner at a slow pace, strolling away cockily (pun intended) as my eyes burned holes into his white T-shirt and ridiculously tight running pants.

After he disappeared into the dimlit shelter of the bike path, I let out a few more choice curse words and shook my head a bit, pissed off but

mostly unshaken, intending to let the incident pass. I couldn’t say the same for my friend.

She took a nervous drag of her cigarette, stubbed it out on the table, and proclaimed, “I feel sick.”

It soon dawned on me that although I wasn’t affected too much by this encounter, my flashee-in-arms most certainly was. She told me she felt angry, worried and unsafe.

So I called the cops on his ass.

As the new opinion editor of The California Aggie, I promise to treat every contentious article or event that presents itself to me as if it has whipped its dick out in public. I will get pissed off, I will lecture, and if it specifically targets a person or group of people so as to make them feel unsafe, I will shut that shit down.

At the same time, I will hold no tongues, mine or otherwise. I want dialogue and discussion, not diatribes and suppression.

I will create soapboxes instead of silences. I will try my hardest to get everyone’s voice heard.

I may or may not run frantically around the Quad once a quarter asking

people for their opinions, and then for permission to publish them.

I will also not hold back belly laughs, bad puns and “That’s what she said” jokes (or “That’s what he/ze/they said” jokes. Women aren’t the only ones who “want you to put it in”).

But this desk isn’t about me, the juvenile humor in my hands and the dicks in my public presence. It’s about you: the reader, the writer and the community member. It’s about the columnists, the guest columnists, the cartoonists and the avid practitioners of letters to the editor.

The school newspaper is one of the greatest tools that a student can wield, and The California Aggie is no less than Excalibur. It’s just waiting for the right warrior to wield it.

So apply to be a writer at the opinion desk (or any other, for that matter), have 911 on speed dial in case of strange men stretching at midnight outside of the Gap, and don’t hold back.

Tell TANYA AZARI what you think (about anything) by flagging her down during her frenzy in the Quad, or at opinion@theaggie.org.

THE CALIFORNIA AGGIE

Watt’s Legal with DANIEL WATTS

Cut out this column and post it on your refrigerator. Every week, I’ll answer legal questions involving students and student-related issues. If you’ve got a legal question, I’ve got a legal answer; I’m a lawyer, after all. I’m also a graduate of UC Davis School of Law, so I’m especially committed to helping out Davis students.

Let’s get things started with a few questions that come up a lot. If you’ve got your own questions, email me at governorwatts@gmail.com or tweet @ governorwatts and I’ll answer them in a future column.

Ladies’ nights are absolutely illegal in California. And yes, you can sue them...

Question There’s a bar in Sacramento that turns into a nightclub on weekends. On “ladies’ night,” women get in free but guys still have to pay $15. Is this legal?

Answer Ladies’ nights are absolutely illegal in California. And yes, you can sue them — for $4,000 in automatic damages.

California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act prohibits California’s businesses from discriminating against people on the basis of sex, among other things. A person who suffers discrimination in violation of the Unruh Act is entitled to $4,000 in statutory minimum damages. These damages are the minimum that a court can award.

While $4,000 might seem excessive

for something like a ladies’ night, there’s a good reason for statutory damages. Acts of discrimination often fail to cause any harm that’s easy to calculate in terms of money.

Why does this apply to ladies’ nights?

Ladies’ nights are discriminatory if they give discounts to women but not men (or men but not women).

Question Does our landlord need to give us a few days notice if he brings people over to look at our apartment, or can he just call last minute and say, “By the way, I’m showing the place in less than an hour?”

Answer The landlord has to give you “reasonable” notice — in writing — before entering your apartment to show it to a new tenant. The written notice must include the date, approximate time and purpose of the entry. Twenty-four hours is usually “reasonable,” unless there’s evidence to the contrary. He should enter only during normal business hours — no 4:00 a.m. surprise visits.

A landlord can’t abuse his right of access or use it to harass or repeatedly disturb the tenants, according to California Civil Code Section 1954(c). He can’t keep intentionally violating these access rules to influence you to move out, either. If you can show a court that he’s repeatedly entering your apartment to harass you or influence you to move out, you can sue the landlord in small claims court for $2,000 for each violation.

Question My lease ended on January 1st. My

landlord is refusing to return my security deposit. He says I need to collect it from the new tenant who’s replacing me. I don’t want to have to deal with whoever the new person is. Can the landlord make me do this?

Answer No, your landlord can’t make you chase after the new tenants for the security deposit. That’s illegal.

Within 21 days of you vacating the apartment, the landlord must refund your security deposit — to you. If he doesn’t, or he refunds only part of it, he has to tell you why he did that. He needs to mail or personally hand to you an itemized list of the amounts of any deductions and the reasons for the deductions.

He should also include copies of documents showing the charges incurred to restore the apartment to the condition it was in when you first moved in.

The portion of the security deposit that wasn’t necessary to return the apartment to its original condition must be returned to you by the landlord.

Why can’t the landlord tell you to get this from the new tenant?

Because you don’t have a contract with the new tenant.You’ve probably never met the new tenant. The new tenant has no idea how clean the apartment was when you first moved in, so he has no way of refunding you the correct amount.

Question It costs 50 cents to use a credit card at the coffee shop near my house. Arco

charges 50 cents to use a debit card, but refuses to take credit cards. Mishka’s says they’re offering a “cash discount” that disappears when I use a credit card. Are these things legal?

Answer Mishka’s, yes. Unnamed coffee shop, no. Arco, yes.

Debit fees are okay, but credit card fees are not.

Merchants can’t charge a fee when you use a credit card — it violates California Civil Code section 1748.1. If they charge you a fee to use a credit card, keep your receipt. Then write them a letter — using certified mail — and demand a refund of the fee. Include a copy of the receipt in your letter. If they don’t give you a refund within a few weeks, you can sue them for a triple refund plus attorney fees.

Merchants can offer a discount to customers paying with cash. Not many merchants set this up correctly, though.

But there are very few published court opinions on this topic because the potential payout is only a couple bucks.

The dearth of controlling cases makes it difficult to say with certainty whether a “cash discount” sign is legal. Signs that say “50-cent fee for credit card” are definitely illegal.

GUEST OPINION

Cutting out meat President Clinton, once known for his love of fast-food, has been making headlines for his recent dietary change. He’s swapped the Big Macs, chicken nuggets and fried shrimp for veggie burgers, beans and fresh fruits and vegetables.

After years of battling heart problems and even undergoing quadruple bypass surgery, Clinton took his doctor’s advice to reduce his meat consumption and increase his intake of plant-based foods. He reports that the results have been tremendous: losing 24 pounds, feeling more energetic, and seeing a welcome drop in cholesterol levels.

President Clinton isn’t the only one turning over a new leaf; from Usher, to Oprah Winfrey, to Ellen DeGeneres, to Kristen Bell, people everywhere are eating less meat. Even Mike Tyson, once known for biting off a human ear, is now limiting his ear consumption to those of the corn variety.

The movement toward more plant-based meals is also taking root on college campuses, with more than 200 universities, including the University of California, Davis, leading the charge with “Meatless Monday” campaigns in their dining halls.

Nationally acclaimed food writers, such as The New York Times’ Mark Bittman and The Washington Post’s Joe Yonan, are helping the nation discover meat-free dishes that will leave you impatient for the next meal.

Eating your vegetables? If you don’t know the possibilities that phrase encompasses in 2013, you are missing out.

There has never been a more exciting time to expand our dining horizons. Skipping meat one day a week is not a sacrifice but an adventure. And this is reflected in the choices students are making. According to a study conducted by Technomic, over 20 percent of college students are reducing their meat consumption, and for good reasons.

One of those reasons is concern for the

nine billion chickens, pigs and other animals raised for food each year, most of whom suffer in factory farms.

For example, mother pigs in the pork industry are typically confined in tiny crates barely larger than their own bodies for virtually their entire lives. Unable to even turn around, these sensitive, intelligent animals — all of whom have their own personalities and preferences — experience tremendous physical and psychological pain.

Most egg-laying hens suffer a similar fate, as they’re crammed into tiny cages, each bird granted less space than the screen of an iPad in which to live for her entire life.

By choosing meat-free options just one day a week, we can all help prevent an enormous amount of cruelty to animals.

Human health and the health of the planet also benefit. A report issued by Environmental Working Group put it simply: “Producing all this meat and dairy requires large amounts of pesticides, chemical fertilizer, fuel, feed and water. It also generates greenhouse gases and large amounts of toxic manure and wastewater that pollute groundwater, rivers, streams and, ultimately, the ocean.”

Increasing numbers of family farmers are also voicing their support for Meatless Monday as a means to achieve a more sustainable, community-based agricultural system before it’s too late.

Our current rate of meat consumption is simply unsustainable. By reducing the total number of animals raised for food, we place greater value on humane sustainable agriculture in which animal welfare is a priority.

Thankfully, eating meatless doesn’t mean “less” at all. It means “more,” as in more choices. It means “better” as in better living — both for us and for animals. From chain restaurants like Chipotle and Denny’s serving up hearty vegetarian fare, to Indian, Thai, Chinese and Mexican cuisine which regularly incorporate delicious meat-free items, the options are endless.

Bon appetit!

After a summer of road detours and students biking beside bulldozers, the question of construction progress has been up in the air with the rubble and dirt.

Several core projects are still underway but many of the renovations have just been completed in time for Fall Quarter.

Building Maintenance Services were occupied these past few months as they were highly involved in building modifications of ten chemistry labs in the Sciences Laboratory Building, updating them to meet campus standards. Some of the renovations included fume hood and countertop rod replacement, drawers and hardware repair, and deep utility cleaning.

The major changes among lecture halls include necessary restroom renovations. Eight bathrooms in Young Hall, Everson Hall, Hutchison Hall and the Music Building had to be updated

to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance regulations for accessibility.

Psychology and anthropology students will enjoy a greener change during the school year.

“We’re trying an experiment in Young Hall in the restrooms. We’re putting in hand dryers to see how that goes to save on paper towels,” said Cynthia Kranc, director of Building Maintenance Services.

These projects, along with summerlong preparation for animal law inspections, cost nearly $700,000.

The Arboretum is also to see improvements, including a new garden on the east end, south of Aggie Village and the Davis Commons shopping center.

According to Dateline UC Davis, “The garden is part of the ‘urban greening’ of a key connection between the campus and the city — where the Arboretum connects with downtown Davis, and where the arboretum and

downtown connect with the Putah Creek Parkway.”

Until this $1.3 million project is completed, students cannot bike to the Davis Commons by means of the waterway lower paths. However, the tunnels underneath Interstate 80 and the railroad tracks are accessible.

The California Native Plant GATEway Garden is set to be completed by November.

UC Davis Design and Construction Management are making ways with their three-year student housing project, Tercero Phase 3. Site preparation began in July 2011 and is scheduled to open in 2014 by Fall Quarter.

With exactly a year left until opening,Tercero Phase 3 is estimated to cost $71 million.

Seven new four-story buildings are being added to the Tercero residence hall area, housing 1,200 more students.

A lecture hall and staff offices will be joining the dorms as well.

New restaurants open in Davis this fall

There are more perks to attending UC Davis than a Shields Library account.

While most of the cost associated with tuition goes toward campus and academic operation, two fees are purely to provide amenities for students.

Campus-based fees and the Student Services Fee go toward facilities and programs, such as the Memorial Union renovation and health and recreational services.

The key to making the most of the undergraduate $13,878 annual bill ($36,756, for out-of-state students) is understanding what is already paid for.

The Benefits of Campus Based Fees According to the UC Davis Student Fee and Tuition Overview, a little over $1,500 from each student’s tuition goes to campus-based fees. This funds groups responsible for everything from renewal projects, to Unitrans, to the Student Academic Success Center (SASC) and the Memorial Union (MU).

Many of these groups offer free services to students. Undergraduates with a student ID can ride Unitrans buses for free, while the SASC offers free academic workshops to all students in Dutton Hall Monday through Friday and weekly small group tutoring in South Hall.

CREAM, standing for “Cookies Rule Everything Around Me,” is a famous ice cream and cookie shop originally located in Berkeley. The hours are noon to midnight on Mondays through Wednesdays, noon to 2 a.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays and noon to 11 p.m. on Sundays.

The Davis CREAM had its grand opening on Sept. 21 and handed out free CREAM ice cream sandwiches from noon to 8 p.m.

There are 18 ice cream flavors and 10 different types of cookies in order to make an ice cream sandwich of one’s choosing.

“I believe the triple chocolate chip cookie with mint chip ice cream will be a popular menu item,” said manager Eric Tu. CREAM is located downtown on F Street, right across from Regal Cinemas Davis Holiday 6.

The Melt sells sandwiches, soups and desserts. Known to be a grilled cheese sandwich shop, this will be a place where people can sit and eat in or order their food to-go via an account online.The Melt will be opening in November in the Davis Commons next to The Habit Burger and Jamba Juice.

James Kim / Aggie

All over the City of Davis, renovations aiming to improve roadways are taking place. First Street, Fifth Street, B Street, Third Street, Drexel Bike Boulevard and the east end of the Arboretum are among the important downtown pathways impacted by this construction.

“In 2011, we applied for a grant from the state,” said Jennifer Border, associate civil engineer of the City of Davis. “After surveying the streets, we saw that there was a need for repair.”

The city administration took on these projects so they could increase the visual appeal of the roads and ensure the roads remained both practical and functional.

“Some of the projects are done with an eye to facilitate cycling and other types of alternative transportation. Others are done because maintenance on the roads dictates that the roads need to be repaved, crowned or smoothed out,” said Kelly Stachowicz, deputy city manager. “All of the projects are done with an eye towards improving traffic flow of several different types.”

The road construction in the downtown grid is specifically taking place on B Street between Fifth and 14th streets, Fifth Street between A and L streets, First Street between A and L streets and Third Street between A and B streets.

“There may be inconveniences, but through communication and [the] traffic plans that each of the projects has, we hope to minimize any disruption,” Stachowicz said.

The Fifth Street/Russell Boulevard Corridor construction will start in early to mid October, according to a press release from the City of Davis city manager’s office.

The City Council awarded the contract to Vanguard Construction Services of Livermore and funding is mostly from grants from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, Highway Safety Improvement Program and Community Development block grants, with some local funds. Construction work will begin at A Street, working toward L Street.

The city has taken an initiative to give vehicles and pedestrians simple and manageable alternatives to these routes so that any inconvenience is hardly noticeable.

“The traffic flow in Davis is getting worse, so the construction is being done to fix current problems and to improve traffic flow,” said Michael Mitchell, principal engineer for the City of Davis.

A major issue for the people in Davis is bicycle transportation and the on-road interaction between bicyclists and motorized vehicles. As a result, the roads are being constructed to maximize spacing for both types of travel.

According to Dave Kemp, active transportation coordinator for the City of Davis, the city is currently building a dualbuffered bike lane to protect cyclists from the door zone in the

Davis mural team takes public art to new levels

By JOHN KESLER Aggie Arts Writer Wandering into downtown Davis, many notice the many murals on the sides of buildings or sculptures on corners.

Downtown Davis possesses the first interactive transmedia art walk in the world.

AGGIE ARCADE

By ANTHONY LABELLA Aggie Arts Writer

The downtown Davis area has at least 40 works of art.

Many of these works have a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip, which allows the viewer to watch a video of the work’s creation on their smartphone and leave a message for the artist.

“We have the first interactive transmedia art walk in the world,” said John Natsoulas, owner of the Natsoulas Gallery

and a member of the Davis Mural Team. “The technology was patented by my old friend and partner Monto Kumagai and his company XtremeSignPost. He’s working on another transmedia art walk in San Francisco right now.”

Despite the large amount of art, many of the works were created in 2012. In fact, Natsoulas claimed that there were only “three or four” pieces downtown in 2011.

Natsoulas formed the Davis Mural Team, which received a grant from the city and the cooperation of building owners.

Swan Songs The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One come out in November, and to say I’m excited about the impending console generation would be an understatement. But optimistic visions of the future don’t account for the brilliant library of games that audiences have been treated to in 2013. We can’t forget about the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 quite yet.

Obviously, new releases will still be multi-platform for the foreseeable future while developers work out technical kinks and establish familiarity with the new consoles, but we’re getting into swan song territory. This year marks the time when game designers make their last, sweeping artistic statements with current technology, while the video game community sits back and enjoys.

The prime examples come in the form of BioShock Infinite and The Last of Us, two big-name releases that received plenty of acclaim. I discussed the merits of BioShock Infinite in an earlier edition of the Aggie Arcade, including the product’s value as an educational experience with its emphasis on American history and complex ethical dilemmas. Such themes are not often explored in video games, but the team at Irrational Games took that kind of risk with the original BioShock in 2007 and pushed the envelope even further with Infinite.

The Last of Us addresses a far more traditional set-up with its post-apocalyptic/ infected storyline, but the characters and relationships forged in the game highlight its status as a landmark release for the current generation of video games. Just in those first 20 minutes or so, the player is hit with an emotionally exhausting moment that cements the game’s bleak and dour tone.

By LARISSA MURRAY Aggie Arts Writer

MARK ALLINDER | AGGIE The Mondavi Center hosts many events throughout the year, including concerts by artists like MGMT and Carly Rae Jepson.

The Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts is a state-of-the-art performance facility located at One Shields Avenue in Davis. Well known for its highly acclaimed music, dance, theater and spoken word performances, the Mondavi Center is one of Davis’ best venues for arts events while also offering special resources to UC Davis students.

This summer, the Mondavi Center hosted psychedelic rock band MGMT and pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen.

Concert-goers can look forward to indie rock artist Andrew Bird’s forthcoming show in November, in addition to any other shows announced throughout the year.

From classical to modern, their music performers are thoughtfully chosen, aiming to appeal to an assortment of different tastes.With its eclectic selection of performers in all fields, Don Roth, executive director of the Mondavi Center, described the variety of performances as “undefinable” in an email interview.

“In the Vanderhoef Studio Theater (VST), our small theater, we are both

intimate and edgy — a jazz singer from Norway singing christmas carols? Actors from Scotland serving whiskey and dancing on the tables? … All in a venue where no matter where you sit, the performers are there in your space!” Roth said. “We keep re-defining ourselves with the guarantee that whatever you see will leave you changed when you exit!”

The center hosts events ranging from scholarly presentations to artistic performances that all coincide with UC Davis’ mission.

“First of all, we align with the university’s vision of excellence — it is our goal that everything we bring be among the very best, whether it is the New York Philharmonic or Emmylou Harris!” Roth said. “We also promote the university’s goal to be recognized worldwide for its excellence … [and] … to be international in scope with a program that brings great artists from Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa.”

In addition to the shows, the Mondavi Center also provides various educational programs and resources for students. All throughout the year, they have artists in residence who provide master See MONDAVI on 14.

Local radio station to expand broadcast

By AKIRA OLIVIA KUMAMOTO Aggie Arts Writer Davis’ student-run radio station KDVS recently installed a new transmitter in the Yolo County landfill. The transmitter is the end product of 10 years of planning and fundraising by workers and volunteers of KDVS, UC Davis and UCOP. The decision to replace the station’s old tower came when other stations began to interfere with KDVS’s signal on their independent airwave (otherwise known as “sig-

nal encroachment”). People in areas as far as Woodland, Dixon and West Sacramento were unable to tune into the station and large numbers of listeners were lost.

KDVS’s General Manager and student Cameron Cairns began his work with the station during the planning years for the new transmitter. He saw the debilitating effects the loss of listeners had on the station. Fewer businesses purchased advertisement time, causing KDVS’s running budget to decline.

“We were starting to see people encroaching on our station in the late 2000s,” See KDVS on 13.

Students evacuate Cairo after Egyptian military ousts president UC Davis Study Abroad students experience Egypt’s tumultuous summer

By NAOMI NISHIHARA Features Editor UC Davis Study Abroad students were evacuated from Egypt this July when General Abdul Fattah alSisi and the Egyptian military removed President Mohamed Morsi from office and suspended the Egyptian constitution.

The study abroad program in Cairo, Egypt, titled “Something Old, Something New,” was first approved in 2011, when Hosni Mubarak’s 29-year rule in Egypt was ended and Morsi became the country’s first democratically elected president. This past summer, the “Something Old, Something New” students witnessed the protests leading up to and on the oneyear anniversary of Morsi’s election. The students also witnessed the sudden end of Morsi’s presidency.

“It seemed like the Fourth of July. Everyone was in the streets just celebrating the whole time I was there,” said Jonny Goh, a fourth-year history major with a minor in Middle East/South Asia studies (ME/SA).

Goh participated in the Egyptian study abroad program this past summer, and described the protests in June as having a demographic not unlike the Occupy movement back home.

“The Egyptian protest was more of a coalition of people who had issues with Morsi, and that included a lot of pro-Mubarak protesters too,” Goh said.

“There were protesters marching alongside the police and the military. Everyone was chanting anti-Morsi slogans, but everyone was also chanting very patriotic slogans.”

Goh’s classmate Caity Tremblay, a third-year comparative literature major with an emphasis in Middle Eastern studies, agreed that there was a noticeable political energy in Cairo throughout their stay.

“There was a feeling in the city that politics were happening,” Tremblay said. “You could feel that people were anxious and were talking about it, and there were flags everywhere.”

UC Davis’ comparative literature and ME/SA professor Noha Radwan, who created and led the “Something Old, Something New” program, was able to carry out their scheduled plans with only minor adjustments for the first two weeks.

“The students went to the pyramids, the museum and the center of the Islamic city,” Radwan said. “We stayed in a particularly safe residential neighborhood, so the students were neither bored nor out on their own where

they might face unsafe or difficult situations.”

Though Goh was familiar with the political events in Egypt in 2011, he stated that he wasn’t expecting the magnitude of events that occurred during his own stay.

“I started to realize it on the plane ride over when I was talking to an Egyptian woman,” Goh said. “I’d heard about the protests but I didn’t realize what they were going to become.”

On June 30, nearly two weeks into the program, and the one-year anniversary of Morsi’s election, millions of protesters reportedly took to Egypt’s streets.

Tens of thousands were in Tahrir Square, not far from the UC Davis students, who were housed in Zamalek, an island connected to Tahrir by a bridge.

Both Goh and Tremblay stated that Zamalek’s streets that day were unusually quiet.

“It was interesting, because there always seemed like there was a life to Cairo — as soon as you landed you could tell that it was different. There was noise, there was honking and there was chatter,” Goh said.

Tremblay agreed that the silence was strange, and said that many of the shops were locked up and people were staying inside.

The next day, according to Goh, was a celebration.

“People were offering each other tea on the streets,” Goh said. “There was no hint of violence that I could see.”

After checking Western news however, Goh felt like the media inaccurately portrayed Egypt as a country on fire with violence.

On July 3, when General al-Sisi removed President Morsi from power and suspended the Egyptian constitution, plans were already underway to evacuate to UC Davis students.

Professor Radwan and the staff back in California decided it was time to terminate the program after President Morsi gave a speech on July 2 refusing to step down.

“I could see that there was going to be a confrontation and a potential for violence,” Radwan said.

“Travel plans were made in less than 12 hours and the students were notified early on the morning of July 3.”

Despite the tension in the city at that time, Radwan said that they arranged to be safely driven to their last field trip.

“We visited the Citadel of Saladin and the 19th century mosques of Mohamed Ali. That night we all

had dinner together and stayed up until it was time to go to the airport,” Radwan said.

The airport was on the other side of Cairo, and Tremblay recounted that when they got on the bus to leave on July 4 at 2 a.m., there were people on the streets celebrating.

“I think there were more fireworks on July 4 in Cairo than there were in California,” Tremblay said.

Though the students said, in program evaluations, that they never felt like they were in danger, Radwan maintains that their evacuation was a wise decision.

When Radwan’s proposal for a study abroad program in Egypt was first approved in January 2011, Egypt had just started its revolutionary uprisings against Mubarak’s regime.

“Rather than detracting from my wish to lead a summer program in a country undergoing such political turmoil, I felt that this was an especially valuable opportunity for the students to witness historical events and to gain an in-depth understanding of what was going on in Egypt,” Radwan said.

Though she made many contingency plans with the staff at UC Davis and the UC Education Abroad Program, she and the students were able to complete all of their field trips and talk to authors, activists and journalists.

Though it was cut short, Radwan said that this year was academically similar in some ways.

“The students were able to see the preparation of a massive wave of protests. This allowed for long discussions on the course of political developments and the reasons for the protests,” Radwan said.

Tremblay said that the protests made her more aware of and more interested in the political events, and that after they left, Professor Radwan stayed and they were able to keep in touch with her.

“I felt sad because even though I know a lot of people felt that [Morsi] was oppressive, he was a president and he was elected,” Tremblay said. “I’m afraid that this is going to become the old regime.”

Goh similarly felt like the protest and its protesters had been hijacked.

“I’ve started to feel like it’s back to square one, because who’s really calling the shots now? It’s the military and the police. It’s the pro-Mubarak regime,” Goh said. “These are the same pro-Mubarak people in power now that the Egyptians got rid of back in 2011.”

Q&A with Mayor Joe Krovoza Krovoza discusses his campaign for California State Assembly

By PAAYAL ZAVERI City News Editor Mayor Joe Krovoza will vacate his position as Mayor of the City of Davis in June 2014 and will run for the California State Assembly, representing the fourth assembly district. Krovoza was elected in 2010 and he now wants to transition to state level politics. The Aggie asked Krovoza a few questions about his campaign and his plans if he were to be elected.

Q: What motivated you to run for the California State Assembly?

Krovoza: I have been volunteering for over 20 years in Davis and I believe I’ve got a wealth of information and experience on the issues that face the local city, higher education and education in general.

I want to bring that to the state house in Sacramento. Through my day job at UC Davis, I’m right at the heart of clean transportation and energy conservation and those are issues that are front and center for the state of California with respect to climate change, mitigation and adaptation.

As an employee of an institution of higher education I understand exactly what’s going on in limiting access to students. I’m 50 years old, so it would be a wonderful transition to go from citizen mayor and university employee to assemblyperson.

Q: What does your campaign schedule look like? What’s going to come next?

I announced [my campaign] on May 11.

The first reporting deadline for fundraising was June 30 and I raised $118,000 from only my friends and family, not from any Sacramento lobbyists or special interests. It was by far the most money that any of the five candidates raised.

Dan Wolk, running against me, raised less than $50,000. He had more expenses and a significant amount of his money was from his mother’s campaign account and the campaign accounts of other politicians in Sacramento. I think I had 340 contributors to my campaign. The foundation of my campaign is externally strong and that’s what [I] need to use to get the message out as we get into the spring and June primaries.

COURTESY

Q: What are some fundraising and outreach efforts you have already undertaken?

I had a wonderful day in August where I went all around the district starting at 7 in the morning with friends. We visited Gypsum American Canyon, Napa, Calistoga, Lakeport, Williams, Woodland and Davis. I’ve been traveling the district and meeting people and getting out to Democratic groups throughout the district and kind of listening to what the common problems are that I faced as the mayor of Davis and what some unique challenges are of other places in the district. I’m very excited representing the fourth assembly district.

Q: What areas does the fourth assembly district represent?

100 percent of Napa, all of Yolo County except West Sacramento, Gypsum, Sonoma County and Williams in Colusa County, so six counties. I could not be more excited about representing a district that is so huge because even though it’s large in size, it’s actually quite united in its interest in [the] agricultural economy of California. All the cities seem to have a great interest in livable communities and KROVOZA on 12

To UC Davis and beyond Recent alumni reflect on career choices and academic strategy Nick Frederici Aggie Features Writer Daily classes and too much reading may set a college student’s shortterm assignments above long-term goals. For many, however, graduation looms in a few short years and academic cohesion should not be a matter of hindsight.

Reflecting on their college years, former UC Davis students discuss how both classroom and work experience shaped their career paths, and urge current students to remember that classroom experience alone may not be enough to find

the right field.

Shanon Astley, a UC Davis transfer student who graduated in summer 2013, stressed that opportunities outside of campus hold as much importance as academics within.

“You owe it to yourself as a student to challenge your fears, your compassion, your drive — because when you do, what you discover is worth so much more than what you find in a textbook,” Astley said.

Astley started college with the aspiration to become a teacher. Her interests immediately shifted toward science, eventually directing her path away from general teaching to research.

By the time she transferred to UC Davis she was majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology.

Only a lack of room in her sched-

ule stopped her from also pursuing a minor in sociology.

Having started school with the intention to help others as a teacher, she continues to pursue public service. She narrowed her focus toward helping communities suffering from HIV and poverty.

“I realized I wanted to personally be involved in the lives of HIV patients,” Astley said.

She has connected herself with Oak Park Outreach in Sacramento, a service that educates the local community on safe sex, HIV, hepatitis C and B and offers a free needle exchange and free clinic on Saturdays.

She has also involved herself with various projects while volunteering in South Africa and Kenya.

“When you volunteer abroad, you don't have to start your own pro-

ject and you don't have to go there with a big plan.You just need to go there, invest your whole heart, and I guarantee you will help someone,” Astley said.

She is currently applying to medical school and in the meantime works as a medical technician in an assisted living and memory care facility in Auburn, Calif.

Alice Phun, a UC Davis June 2012 graduate who completed degrees in history and Asian American studies, agreed with Astley, stressing that extracurriculars are important.

“I didn’t think networking was that important in college, but after college I realized the importance of a good network,” Phun said.

Phun has spent the past year after her graduation searching for jobs in state government work and nonprofit organizations. She attributes part of the need for such a long search to a lack of networking while ALUMNI on 13

TUITION Cont. from page 4 activities, CRU is also entering the final stages in planning the major Memorial Union (MU) renovation which will be completed in 2015.

“In the upcoming renewal project, the Games Area, Bookstore, ASUCD retail area and North and South Quads will be renovated and remodeled. We are updating the area to the current standards that students request and expect.

We’re tearing down walls and opening up the MU,” Campbell said.

The renovations will be paid for only using the reserves that tuition has fed into for years.

“The Memorial Union fee [within the campus based fees] was enacted in 1987 and stayed the same, never subject to increase. It was $85.50 a year then, and it is now,” Schmidl said.

While tuition-funded activities, renovations, and programs provide fun and ambiance, other significant services are also covered by tuition.

The Benefits of the Student Services Fee According to the 2012-13 Undergraduate Student Tu-

PREZ Cont. from page 1 UC, I am concerned that her duties at the Department of Homeland Security will make students, especially AB 540 students, uncomfortable at the [U]niversity,” Bottoms said in an email interview. “The UC is a place that is intended to educate all, and having a president that is responsible for massive deportations is certainly disheartening.”

According to AB 540, undocumented students must have attended a California high school for at least three full academic years; graduated from a California high school or attained a G.E.D.; registered to attend a California accredited institution of public higher education; and file or plan to file for legal residency as soon as possible.

Chancellor Katehi said Napolitano’s former position would bring positive light to immigration reform.

“These issues are important to us as a university and as a nation, as they enable us to attract the best and the brightest from around the world, and have them contribute to our society and economy,” Katehi said. “She has been an advocate for the federal Dream Act and implemented policies to prevent deportations of young people who are pursuing a college education.”

The Dream Act, which did not pass, would have allowed undocumented migrants who wished to pursue higher education able to do so and become legal residents of the country.

Academic Senate Chair Robert Powell doesn’t believe her federal background will influence her treatment of Hispanic students in the UC.

CONSTRUCTION Cont. from page 4 A village-style design forms two neighborhoods to encourage community.

The housing project’s objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to be LEED Platinum certified, the highest rating from the U.S. Green Building Council.

“The goal of the university when we first started was to have a LEED goal and Sundt and EHDD Architecture came up with a plan to really maximize the mechanical systems and get it to LEED Platinum,” said Angela Tombolini, employee owner of Sundt Construction, Inc. The school’s heritage trees remain uncut

RESTAURANTS Cont. from page 4 Commons. The old location is now a pet store.

“Due to the community’s support we were able to move back in,” Chong said. “First and foremost, thank you for bringing us back here.”

Common Grounds has upgraded its menu by incorporating grilled cheese sandwiches, panini sandwiches, soups and cookies from Cookie Connection. They will now be able to take orders for larger groups such as clubs, fraternities and other organizations for events. Pour-over coffees and highend teas will be available as well. “[There is] a similar menu except bigger,” Chong said. “We will incorporate more things into it, and the prices will be affordable.”

ition and Fees Fact Sheet, the $972 Student Services Fee allows for access to a number of free or discounted physical and mental health services.

“All registered students are eligible to receive medical and mental health services on campus at the Student Health and Wellness Center and at North Hall,” said Dr. Michelle Famula, executive director of Health and Wellness in an email interview.

Free services include mental health counseling consultation, individual and group counseling services, alcohol, tobacco and drug education interventions, smoking cessation programs, a call-in advice nurse consultation and free anonymous HIV testing for any registered student, regardless of a student’s enrollment in the UC Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP).

In addition, the Health Education Program (HEP) provides information and materials at numerous student clubs and at organizations’ events throughout the year.

Invaluable HEP information is supplied to students on the third floor of the Student Health and Wellness Center, the Women’s Resources and Research Center, the Student Community Center, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Resource Center and the Cross Cultural Center. “[HEP provides tips and resources for] safe partying, fitness and nutrition, sexual health and mental wellness,” Famula said.

Additionally, HEP’s Love Lab travels to common student

“We have to remember that this is a policy of the President, not her policy,” Powell said.

Napolitano focused on education from pre-kindergarten through higher public education during her time as governor of Arizona. She did not work with higher education during her time in President Obama’s Cabinet.

“The selection of Napolitano as president came to me as a surprise, as most people would presume she would come from the education field,” Hexter said.

It is currently unclear what to expect from the UC’s new president at this point in time .

“I think she’s going to be very interested in transfers and making sure we have a good pathway for transfer students … I think she’ll be a big supporter of diversity in terms of faculty and in terms of the students,” Powell said.

Many believe her political background will aid in her success as a highly public and influential leader.

“I think she’s going to be much more in tune with the politics in Sacramento than past presidents have been,” Powell said.

Napolitano’s election may not deeply affect the UC Davis campus’s current functions and protocol. Her decisions will affect the UC system as a whole, and her role will be to back every university together.

“Chancellors know how to run the university system itself,” Hexter said. “We look to the Office of the President to advocate for the whole university as a state.

We don’t want campuses fighting over who gets what.”

Common Grounds aims to reopen in late September but its grand opening will be toward the end of October.

areas and provides condoms and sexual education materials for free.

For students concerned about their mental wellness, there are a variety of free services available.

“Many student medical and mental health self-help services are free and provided by student peers, including the Stress and Wellness services on the second floor [of North Hall] and the Mind Body Gym managed by The House,” Famula said.

The House, which is normally located in north campus near the co-ops, will be undergoing structural renovations and will be relocated to the first floor of North Hall until the building is able to reopen next year.

At The House, students can talk to a peer counselor or participate in the Mind Body Gym which offers massage chairs and relaxation space for all students. Drop-in counselling sessions with a professional are also available at the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) office in North Hall.

Understanding the finer points of where tuition goes at Davis can help students get the most out of their enrollment and take advantage of the services that they are funding.

“All of our activities and services are available because of student fees,” Campbell said.

PROFILE Cont. from page 1 office received the previous year.

“I feel as though getting accepted into UC Davis seemed harder this year because of the number of people I know with high GPAs who did not gain admittance,” said Sonya Vyas, a first-year chemistry major.

California residents make up 85 percent of the incoming class, while outof-state students make up four percent and international students make up 11 percent.

A common rumor is UC Davis favors out-of-state and international students over California residents.

“If someone were to ask me about the whole idea of bringing in more non-resident students, I would respond first by saying global diversity is a value added to the educational experience of all undergraduate students,” Robinson said.

Along with being a source of global diversity, according to Robinson, nonresident students also provide an additional revenue stream to support all students at UC Davis.

“There was a time when we received a tremendously larger allocation of funds from the state to support California students,” Robinson said. “The only way we can stabilize, and perhaps even grow the number of undergraduate enrollment at UC Davis is by having new sources of revenue.”

Of the incoming first-years, three percent identify as African American, one percent identify as American Indian, 21 percent identify as Chicano/ Latino, 42 percent identify as Asian and 31 percent identify as white, leaving two percent of students who did not provide a racial report.

“I feel that it’s highly devastating that there’s only three percent African American students. I feel like there should be more effort from both students and administration to outreach,” said Ndidi Okwelogu, Black Student Union President.

“I feel we’re underrepresented and I wish it could be a bigger community.

We all have something to offer to make it a bigger community,” said Da’shon Carr, President of Leaders of Tomorrow, on the percentage of African American students enrolled in the class of 2017.

“Latinos/Hispanics are the largest minority group in the US and in California, for that reason the percentage of Latinos enrolled in the class of 2017 at Davis can be seen as either an accomplishment or disappointment. Ultimately, the 21% of Latino freshman students enrolled this year at Davis shows an increase within the past years and even though it should be higher, any increase should always be seen as an accomplishment. If 1/5 of our incoming freshmen are Latinos, it is now our duty as their fellow Aggies to show them support and help them as they begin their college career,” said Angela Munoz, co-chair of Hermanas Unidas de UC Davis.

While the enrollment target for this year’s incoming class exceeded the 2020 Initiative, UC Davis expects to increase the undergraduate population over the next seven years.

The 2020 Initiative is a new campus plan to admit 5,000 students, primarily international, in the next 17 years. The plan also includes hiring 300 additional faculty members and further expansion to campus infrastructure.

KROVOZA Cont. from page 9 respecting the [agricultural] land near them.

For UC Davis and making sure students have access to education, that will be a top priority for me. The district represents Sonoma State and also four community colleges throughout the district. I’m a former student leader and I’ve been working very hand in glove with the Davis school district. I also think that affordable housing is terribly important throughout the district. To support workers being able to live close to where they work. We need jobs but we also need housing that [is] approximate to those jobs.

Q: What are some of the main issues you would focus on if elected?

I think addressing climate change is the moral imperative of our time and $1 that we spend on mitigating climate change saves us $4 in having to adapt to climate change. This district in particular, given its dependence on agriculture and its environmental values, has got to be paying attention to reducing climate change and keeping our atmosphere stable. I also think that higher education is front and center for the district.

ALUMNI Cont. from page 10 in college. She’s done everything else seemingly right.

“One of the things I did my freshman year was [try] to plan out my entire four years as much as possible,” Phun said.

This planning ensured she could finish her double major after switching from environmental horticulture and urban forestry.

Kao-May Saeteurn, also a 2012 UC Davis graduate, had almost the opposite experience.

“I joined the Marines straight from high school in 2003. After four years of service I was selected for an officer commissioning program where the military sent me to college to get a degree,” Saeteurn said.

Saeteurn majored in exercise biology and minored in education, completing his degree before returning to duty.

Rather than picking a career to match his education, his prior experiences directly impacted his choices as a student.

“With a military background, fitness has always been one of the most important aspects of my career and life. I started and ended with this major,” Saeteurn said.

Aided by his education, Saeteurn plans to stay fit and continue his service in the Marines for another 10 years.

Unlike Saeteurn, Jonathan Tung, who graduated from UC Davis in June

2013 with a degree in chemical engineering, directed his career path based on his classes.

“I wasn’t sure what industry I wanted to go into, so I chose chemical engineering because it was so broad and versatile. As I took more classes, I started to get an idea of where my interests lie,” Tung said.

Tung currently works in the pharmaceutical processing and technology development department at Genentech, a biotechnology organization headquartered in California. His path was shaped by his college experience, and his interests were discovered during his education; however, his education is not quite complete.

“I would suggest freshmen to keep an open mind to everything and anything that’s out there. Even though I’m out of school, I need to learn now and continue to do so for the rest of my career,” Tung said.

Tung plans to continue his career at Genentech, possibly changing departments as he learns more and his interests change.

To current students, Astley also stressed that experience teaches you and can change your career.

“Invest your time wisely, chase what drives you, and do it. You won’t regret it,” Astley said.

NICK FREDERICI can be reached at features@theaggie.org.

KDVS Cont. from page 6 Cairns said. “We lost an audience and business support, but when we put up this new transmitter we got a lot of emails saying people could finally listen to us again.”

KDVS saw a lot of support from the community in their pursuit to install the transmitter. Volunteers for the cause included dozens of UC Davis students and citizens of Davis. Many spoke at public hearings regarding the tower’s installment, helped move equipment and performed engineering work.

Many UC Davis administrators and UCOP representatives also supported the setup of the new transmitter, hoping it would benefit the community at large.

Justin Kable, a former general manager of KDVS, was a volunteer of this project and worked closely with many student and community volunteers. He felt the project garnered much of its potential from ASUCD. “We definitely felt supported, especially by Anne Reynolds Myler, who was the interim business manager at ASUCD,” Kable said. “There are a lot of rules to follow when performing a project like this through a public agency, and Anne and others helped guide us through them.”

The transmitter is better able to reach audiences with an alteration in the power of the signal and adjustment of the antenna. The signal has strengthened, increasing its power from nine kilowatts (kW) to 13 kW. With this upgrade, the antenna was raised an additional 100 feet on the tower, allowing it to broaden broadcast.

Tim Parish, who oversaw the installation of the transmitter, has seen a big improvement in the clarity of KDVS’s signal.

RUSH Cont. from page 16 involved in the chapter. I went to a fraternity event and met two alumni who said that they would at the very least set up job interviews with me once I graduated, because of the [Greek] connection,” Benson said.

Richomme reported a similar experience, stating that being part of her sorority has opened up a world of opportunity.

“We have an alumni page on Facebook, and that way there is always someone to reach out to, whether you need a job or somewhere to stay,” Richomme said.

“I know someone who got a job through our sorority’s networking.”

Going Greek is not a decision that you have to make when you first start at UC Davis. Richomme did not join Alpha Chi Omega until she was a second-year student, and doesn’t regret it at all. “[I think that] it would be more stressful to join as a freshman, because you’re already going through so many changes,” Richomme said.

“I also think that it’s important to have friends other than sorority friends, and to have other things going on in your life.”

Unlike Richomme, Benson doesn’t see any reason not to “Go Greek” your first year at UC Davis.

MARSH Cont. from page 1 suffered dozens of stab wounds, 67 for Maupin and 61 for Northup, in addition to being eviscerated.

Detective Ariel Pineda, who carried out Marsh’s interrogation, said Marsh was questioned by the police on June 17 — he initially denied involvement with the murders.

However, after Pineda played a recording of a phone call between two other people that implicated Marsh in the crime, the teenager’s denials ended. Marsh also revealed that he had years of homicidal urges.

Pineda said Marsh admitted that the killings gave him a “high” for a few days, and that Marsh admitted to trying to kill again.

Northup and Maupin’s friends and relatives filled the courtroom during the preliminary hearing.

According to The Davis Enterprise, Marsh’s attorney did not cross-examine any of the

HATE Cont. from page 1 According to Carmichael, the email sent out to the community by Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi on Aug. 27 was helpful because it helped facilitate communication between the community and the police in finding new information.

Although this is not the first time a hate crime has been committed on cam-

“The new transmitter has a better audio processor which has made KDVS sound a lot better,” Parish said. “The coverage in the downtown area and West Sacramento is greatly improved. I’ve received reports that Folsom and Roseville are also very good.”

The tower has lifted financial and maintenance burdens from the station. Unlike the old transmitter, the new one needs little to no maintenance. The old tower, installed in 1996, cost about $3,000 a year to remain operational and was draining much of KDVS’s funds.

The new tower can be monitored by Parish and Cairns through their smartphones and personal computers without having to be frequently checked onsite.

The transmitter can even alert the station via email if there’s a mechanical problem in need of repair.

These new adjustments not only cut costs and garner profit from business advertisements in new regions, but they help students communicate their talents and passions to an extended public.

“We’re going to have a lot more community outreach to Sacramento. It will become a more powerful tool for students to use if they choose to join the radio station,” Cairns said.

Many of the volunteers from this project hope students will use the improvements to their advantage. “[The project] gives UC Davis students a great resource to volunteer in media and the arts where their contributions can be heard by a wide audience,” Kable said.

You can tune into KDVS’s live broadcast 24/7 on station 90.3 FM. If you’d like to volunteer at KDVS, you can inquire about any openings at kdvsoffice@ kdvs.org.

Benson didn’t join Alpha Sigma Chi until he was a third-year, and wishes that he had a full four years in the organization.

Both agree, however, that there is a lot more to Greek life than the stereotypical scene that college movies show.

“We have philanthropy events for groups that we support as well,” Richomme said. “Alpha Chi Omega supports victims of domestic violence as our main philanthropy.”

Benson made a point to counter any negative assumptions about hazing as well, stating that Alpha Sigma Chi is a strictly no-hazing fraternity.

“We’re here to be [new members’] friends. As soon as they are offered bids, they’re treated like brothers,” Benson said.

Fourth-year animal science and management major and former Alpha Sigma Phi social director Samuel Sabo agreed that hazing isn’t common at UC Davis.

“In other schools and across the country, hazing can get really out of control,” Sabo said. “We have a no hazing policy at our fraternity.

Hazing to any extent is a really big deal [to us].”

Sabo had a unique experience going Greek. He joined Alpha Sigma Phi during Spring Quarter of his freshman year, after a friend was contacted by the national headquarters and asked if he would be

willing to start an Alpha Sigma Phi chapter at UC Davis.

Once he decided to join, Sabo and his friends used the opportunity to turn the UC Davis chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi into exactly what they wanted — a big group of people to be there for each other.

“We wanted to create a fraternity that wasn’t just people drinking, and that wasn’t super ‘bro,’” Sabo said. “It’s a great support system.

You’re part of an organization with people that care about you and everyone else in the fraternity.”

As for recruitment, Alpha Sigma Phi goes beyond partying in order to allow pledges to really get a feel for the fraternity.

One of Sabo’s favorite memories from Greek life is when a group of brothers went to cheer up a member who had recently gone through a breakup.

“We went to his house and sang him our fraternity songs for 20 minutes, then hung out with him because we knew he was upset,” Sabo said.

four witnesses or call any of his own witnesses during the preliminary hearing.

Before the preliminary hearing, Johnson filed a motion to exclude the public from and prevent media coverage of Marsh’s preliminary hearing. A Yolo County judge denied the motion on Aug. 29.

“The media surrounding Mr. Marsh has been extensive and sensational,” Johnson said in the motion.“The media coverage has made a spectacle out of this case, and the potential jurors in Yolo County are unlikely to forget the assumptions and statements publicized by the news media before Mr. Marsh’s trial.”

Marsh pleaded not guilty on June 19 to two counts of first-degree murder with enhancements for using a knife and special circumstances including multiple murders, lying in wait and torture. He is currently in custody at Yolo County Juvenile Hall. Additionally, Marsh is being tried as an adult and faces life in prison if he is convicted.

AGGIEARCADE Cont. from page 7 Perhaps it’s a knee-jerk reaction considering both games came out just months ago, and I am sometimes prone to hyperbole, but BioShock Infinite and The Last of Us stand out as some of my all-time favorite games and also represent the best the current generation of consoles has to offer. It shows us that the end of a generation can be a great thing — sure, innovation has fallen by the wayside in recent years with new technology looming on the horizon, but there are still fantastic ideas out there that emerge near the end of a console’s lifespan.

Oh, and I haven’t even mentioned Grand Theft Auto V, a game I have not yet played as of this writing (though it did come out in September). As a fan of the series, I’d be shocked if I don’t absolutely love that game, and I imagine plenty of gamers are in the same boat as me. Once again, we have a final current-gen product from a landmark developer — Rockstar Games — and it also satisfies a far different niche than BioShock Infinite and The Last of Us. Rockstar’s goal is to create a living, breathing world with plenty of memorable characters and witty writing. If the early previews are any indication, the company has done just that.

The unifying theme of all these great games is that they represent a final statement on what has been a fantastic generation of video games. As developers become more familiar with the hardware, the games get better, so this year we see what the medium can truly offer players. So before you boot up those new consoles in November, take some time to appreciate how great the past eight years have been and how that’s led us to games like BioShock Infinite, Grand Theft Auto V and The Last of Us.

COLUMN Cont. from page 6 situation creatively. Once you have that creative lens and once you’ve mastered the art of ass-kissing, you’re set.

I gained this wisdom on the job. I found myself flirting with the customers.

I found myself throwing extra scoops of ice cream into the root beer floats — anything to make a little more in tips. I said yes and only yes. I’d come back to a table like a magical fairy and grant their every wish, forcing a smile. What sort of educated, maturing young adult, almostcollege-graduate had I become?

But suddenly, between bringing out hot plates of food and decorating the desserts with lumps of whipped cream, I began to see the beauty in everything that was going on. In my quest for finding how my day-to-day life could be an art, I came to realize that this little summer job had more artistic value than met the eye.

The desserts I prepared (by which I mean put in the microwave and doused with whipped cream and chocolate sauce) can be an art: in their presentation, the creativity involved in formulating the perfect combination of ingredients and the dexterity of the preparation of the meal.

But so can serving a customer.

What do you do when a customer wants something? You give them more, people — because if I’ve learned anything, it’s that people always want more. Chocolate cake? The bigger, the better. What’s that? You’re in a rush?

If it wasn’t completely obnoxious and slightly dangerous, I’d have thrown desserts across the room at customers as soon as they’d pop out of the microwave if that would have meant they’d tip me better.

Now, something I’ve learned in the past three years of taking most of my classes in the humanities is that money should never be the object of your academic or professional focus. I’ve taken

drawing classes full of students who do it for the sake of creating something beautiful out of nothing — a satisfaction that cannot be measured with dollar signs. I proudly carry my English major badge with the fervor of a Shakespearean love sonnet. Like all artists or those interested in working in the arts, I’m not doing this for the money.

But with this summer job, I’ve found that art can actually help you make a little dough. With all the tips I was getting from my adoring customers, I could have probably flown to Europe and back before my friends working at startups could have gotten their first paychecks. Ass-kissing, a true art form, can and will help you succeed.

What I can take away most from this strange little art called bussing is not the money, but the idea that if you figure out how to do something right, perhaps with help from a creative lens to keep your morale high, then you will be happy. Taking it with levity and finding the few little pleasures of the experience (like flirting or eating cake) will make whatever you’re doing less miserable, maybe even fulfilling in some strange way.

Now that school is starting and I’ve put most of my money into my savings, except for a few hundred I blew on Outside Lands tickets and snacks, I can start being that responsible college student who kisses everyone’s ass in order to get the grades. At least now I know how to do this artfully and with tact.

In addition to sending restless e-mails and spending sleepless nights writing the papers I believe my professors will adore, I’ll throw in some delicious desserts and hope for the best. Maybe wink at the TA. I say you do the same.

If you have any recommendations on how to kiss a professor’s ass, or if you’d like CRIS� TINA FRIES to kiss yours, contact her at arts@theaggie.org.

MONDAVI Cont. from page 6 classes and clinics for students, including those in the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra, such as fourth-year religious studies major Frankie Ortega.

“I have been in the UC Davis Symphony all four years of my enrollment here at Davis and I must say it is both an honor and an amazing experience being able to perform at the Mondavi Center,” Ortega said in an email interview. “It is a really nice payoff after the hard work that goes into learning the pieces performed.”

The Mondavi Center also offers its Aggie Arts internship program.The internship provides a unique way to explore the world of arts administration and management.The four students accepted into the program are granted the opportunity of learning every aspect of running a performance venue, followed by a free show that they get to put on all on their own for other students.

STREETART Cont. from page 7 art throughout the town, which really transformed it,” Natsoulas said.

The first mural placed by the Mural Team is “It Can Happen NOW...TO YOU” by member William Haul. Haul said that the Mural Team completed 11 or 12 murals during the summer of 2012.

“Each artist was given a site and chose their own image to do.We cooperated with each other and got to the point where all we needed was a weekend to finish a mural,” Haul said.

This summer, Haul and two other members of the mural team, Kerry Rowland-Averch and Myron Stevens, were commissioned by the Davis Odd Fellows Lodge to do a giant mural on the side of that building, located on Second Street between C and D streets.

Dody Black, the marketing director for the Odd Fellows Lodge, and Dave Rosenberg, the Grand Warden, commissioned the mural.

“Dave and I noticed the murals going up around town but the Mural Team’s grant from the city ran out before we could commission the mural,” Black said.

“In the end, Dave donated the money for

chance to get exposed to a wide variety of artists,” Roth said.

Third-year textiles and clothing major and Mondavi Center ticket office employee Karen Saelee also appreciates the professional and artistic opportunities the Mondavi Center offers.

“I’ve worked here for about a year, and I have got to say that this job has really introduced me to a lot of connections within the business. I definitely have a great appreciation for the communication I have every day with people in the performing arts world,” Saelee said.

The Mondavi Center offers several other academic resources to UC Davis students, including a free ticket for every firstyear student for their first show. Additionally, if any performance relates to a student’s academic course, the class can sign up for Curriculum Connections, which allows students to attend the show for $5. In order to provide students with a study environment during finals, the Mondavi Center also has classical music study sessions.

the mural.”

The final mural consists of three panels: the left panel depicts the farmers market, the middle panel depicts the now-demolished Davis Archway and the right panel shows a family cycling in front of the Odd Fellows Lodge.

Haul found this mural to be more challenging than usual.

“There were [fewer] of us working on this mural and it was four or five times larger than anything we’ve ever done,” Haul said. “It took us three weeks of painting every day during long, hot days.”

Haul and Natsoulas both noticed that artists unaffiliated with the Mural Team would create murals and sculptures, such as the Compassion Bench on the corner of Third Street and C Street and the mural behind the Pence Gallery.

“I’ve been surrounded by the best people in the world,” Natsoulas said. “I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to work with these people and I feel fortunate. It’s been a great journey.”

iOS 7, a fresh slice of Apple Inc. A new look with new features to match

If there’s one thing we know Apple for, it’s creating nearly unbearable suspense between the preview and release of a product, but you can rest easy now, iPhone and iPad users — the touted iOS 7 operating system you’ve all been waiting for is now available.

In June of this year, Apple CEO Tim Cook made an announcement regarding the update, and what he said was nothing short of the truth. iOS 7, or operating system 7, is “The biggest change to iOS since the introduction of the iPhone.” Considering that the bulk of changes we’ve seen to the iPhone to date have been made primarily to its hardware and shape, iOS 7 is a pretty significant departure from the chrome lines, high-definition app icons and super-intuitive operations of iOS 6 and before. Saying that, this update has drawn about as many critics as it has enthusiasts.

LOOK / FEEL The new iOS 7 features icons unlike any other seen on Apple devices — instead of representative, bijou images for each app, iOS 7 features simpler, vibrantly colored, block-like app icons that function at breakneck speed and precision. iOS 7 gives prominence to clean white text that is pervasive throughout the device and makes the iPhone feel even more pristine and elegant than the previous operating systems ever did.

OPERATIONS iOS 7, however, is also a bit less

Emily Seferovich, Aggie Science Writer

intuitive than previous operating systems, and for a good reason. Since its inception in 2007, over six years have passed since iPhones, or really any smartphone, have become essential to the lifestyle of people worldwide. The idea behind the augmented sophistication of iOS 7 stems from the reality that most of us already know how to use a smartphone. With iOS 7, Apple capitalized on the reality that we no longer need them to hold our hands as we navigate their devices.

UPDATES Along with significant modifications to the notification shade (the drop-down screen of the iPhone that displays general updates), an entirely new iTunes layout (including the new iTunes Radio, which operates similarly to Pandora and conveniently connects directly to the iTunes Music Store), some of the most awesome and significant updates can be found in the new Camera app.

The iPhone Camera now offers different virtual lenses through which a picture can be taken. Similar to, yet slightly less comprehensive than the Instagram app, which allows a user to place a filter over an image, the new camera updates allow you to take and edit photos with one of nine different filters.

NEW FEATURES If there’s a good note to end on regarding iOS 7, it’s the introduction of the Control Center and the new, more human Siri.

Apple isolated some of the

most managed iPhone settings and consolidated them into the Control Center for the convenience of the user. Control Center consists of a smart dock that can be swiped up from the bottom of any screen. It allows the user to access Flashlight, Clock, Calculator, and Camera; change iPhone settings and manage iTunes and Wi-Fi/connectivity settings all in one place.

Additionally, Siri has become a new woman (or man, totally up to you). Smarter, quicker and much better at communicating like a human being than in preiOS 7 operating systems, Siri is quickly becoming something out of science fiction — and hopefully he/she doesn’t try to take over the planet someday.

When all is said and done, Apple has “done it again.”

They’ve remade and remodeled their own system in such a way that resets the expectation for the smartphone and tablet industry. While some of us may loathe the changes and others may prance with joy over them, Apple has done what it does best with iOS 7: set the industry standard for the next generation of handheld devices.

Apple iOS 7 is an easy download — open the Settings app, tap General, then tap Software Update and the iPhone offers education about all of the iOS 7 perks in addition to a download option. Enjoy!

NO HANDS The physics behind riding a bike with with no hands

Scientists find target for possible cancer cure AGPS enzyme can be deactivated to suppress cancer growth Jasbir Kaur, Aggie Science Writer According to the American Cancer Society, one out of every three people you know will face cancer at some point in their life. Luckily, a recent study performed at UC Berkeley and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows some promise of a possible cure. Daniel Nomura, a professor of the Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology Department and the main investigator of the study, sheds new light on the importance of lipids in the development of cancer.

Although previous research studies have helped scientists to understand that lipids metabolize differently in cancer cells than in normal cells, the degree of such variation and its ramifications were unexplored.

“While it’s been known since the 1950s that a particular class of lipids called ‘ether lipids’ were heightened in levels in human tumors, it wasn’t known whether these ether lipids were just associated with, or were drivers of cancer aggressiveness,” Nomura said in an email.

The study focused on AGPS, the major enzyme involved in making ether lipids. Nomura and his team injected two groups of mice with cancerous cells. In one group, the AGPS enzyme remained active and in the other, the enzyme was inactivated. In the group with the active enzyme, cancer cells remained aggressive, while in the inactive group tumors were practically non-existent. In doing so, it helped to prove that lipid membranes can be responsible for signaling and fueling cancer growth in other cells.

Daniel Benjamin, a fourth-year graduate student in Nomura’s lab, is responsible for designing and implementing projects for studies such as this one. “What I found to be extremely challenging was trying to fully understand the extent to which one small change to a cancer cell (in this case, disabling an enzyme (AGPS) that synthesizes ether lipids) could have such extensive and widespread effects on many different aspects of cancer cell metabolism,” Benjamin said.

“As an analogy, you can think of the metabolism of a cancer cell as an unimaginably complex chain of dominoes. What we essentially did in this study was remove one of those dominoes,” Benjamin said. The results of the study confirmed that when AGPS levels were high in the mice, the cells turned cancerous.

They also found that the inactivation of the AGPS made the cancer cells less viable.

It is no secret that cancer continues to impact the lives of many individuals. When discussing her father’s brain cancer diagnosis, Stephanie Bonham, a secondyear political science major at UC Davis, gave the following statement. “Watching my dad die of cancer forced me to come to terms with mortality at a young age. His death also caused my family members to distance themselves from one another. It wasn’t until our family bonded with my stepdad, who had experienced the same tragedy, that we finally came together again.”

Research like this promises to help make such tragedies a thing of the past. Unfortunately, according to Benjamin, AGPS inhibitors are not a magic bullet to cure all types of cancer, but when used in combination with chemotherapy, they represent a significant step forward in the battle with this disease.

keep you riding smoothly.

“Gyroscopic motion occurs as a result of the law of conservation of angular momentum: Once an object has been made to rotate, it will continue to rotate around the same axis with the same speed indefinitely, unless it is acted on by an external torque,” says Dustin Burns, a physics graduate student and teaching assistant for the Physics 7 series at UC Davis.

Put simply, this means that once your wheel starts spinning, not only does it want to keep spinning, but it wants to keep spinning with the same orientation (i.e. perpendicular to the ground). You actually need to exert force in order to fall over.

This is why Braun considers it so important to keep your speed up. Since momentum is a function of velocity, the more velocity you have, the more momentum you have, and the more momentum you have, the more torque you will need to topple.

Unfortunately, since your COM will be above the point on which you are balancing, torque will be in no short supply, so don’t be too adventurous. Put in the time and get comfortable on your bike before you try to get creative.

“CONFIDENCE IS KEY...”

Biking is an inextricable part of daily life at UC Davis. Unfortunately, as incoming freshmen, many of us haven’t been on a bike for years before dusting off the cobwebs and loading it up for move-in day. This leads to some shaky first rides around campus and more than our fair share of bike accidents.

As the year progresses, however, we gain confidence.We take turns faster than we probably should. We shoot through the bike circles without braking. Finally, we start taking hands off the handle bars.

Riding one hand down is pretty simple to master. Especially with the added motivation of that urgent text vibrating in your pocket. The real challenge comes from trying to remove the second hand.

“Confidence is key,” says Colin Braun, a third-year civil engineering major at UC Davis, “You’ve got to have your head up, your back straight, and — most importantly — you’ve got to keep your speed up.”

Although it may seem intimidating at first, Braun brings up a lot of good points.

Riding with no hands boils down to two main physical principles: center of mass (COM) and gyroscopic motion.

“The center of mass is the average

location of weight in a given object.That is to say, it’s the average point where all forces act,” says Garrett Levy, a recent UC Davis graduate with a degree in civil engineering.

In an object with uniform density and a fixed shape, the COM is at the very center. However, one tricky thing about COM is that it is not necessarily at a fixed point for manipulable objects.

Objects that are highly variable in shape, such as the human body, can move their center of gravity to many different positions based on posture. By changing an object’s shape, you can even move the center of gravity outside of its physical boundaries.

When the COM moves below the point on which an object is sitting, it makes the object’s balance very stable.

This is is how those balancing birds we all used to play with as kids work. Unfortunately, the average person on an average bike won’t be able to achieve that level of stability.

Having your back straight and your head up allows you to move your COM to inside your torso. Doing so prevents small changes in body position from having as great an effect on your overall balance. Also, since most bikes have the back wheel at least partially under the seat, it moves your center of gravity to be more directly over the wheel, which helps a lot.

COM works in concert with the second principle, gyroscopic motion, to help

audionote

The UC Davis Mobile app is a must-have for every student with a smartphone. It contains features that include course listings by quarter, a searchable map of campus, links to the UC Davis email and several others. Any student, new or old, can benefit from having all of this information at their fingertips.

Let’s face it, although the friends and the freedom are great, the whole reason we are at this school is to learn. Thus, every student needs a good app to help them take fantastic notes and get the most out of their classes. With AudioNote, students have the ability to record lectures as they’re writing everything down, giving them peace of mind if they are struggling to keep up with a fast-talking professor.

It also has a pen utility built in, making it easy to switch between writing down what the professor is saying and drawing any important figures from the board. Finally, during playback, the app will highlight where the user was in their notes in relation to where they are in the lecture, making it nearly impossible to get lost.

selfcontrol

One does not simply ride through a roundabout A five-step guide to bike circles

SelfControl is a free app available for Mac OS that is designed to take the “self” out of the equation. All the user has to do is make a list of the websites that eat away at their precious studying time and this app will prevent them from going there (for the amount of time that you choose) no matter what you do. Deleting the app won’t unblock the sites until the timer has expired. This way, there will be hours of distraction-free studying whenever something needs to get done.

This free mobile app by Pocket Bus provides a real-time view of every Unitrans bus line in Davis. Although the information can be found in several other locations, the app presents it in a stopby-stop format with a live-updating estimate for how long it will be until the next bus arrives. It also includes a feature that uses your current location to shows all the bus stops that are closest, as well as a route map.

1. Make an entrance

2. go with the flow

3. plan of action

Enter the roundabout as you would a wild party: with caution.

Turn right and bike around the circle counterclockwise.

If you’re biking a long way around the circle, stick to the inside of the loop.

Don't push and shove, bikers inside the roundabout have the right of way.

In the Age of Instant Gratification, you’ll be tempted to bike through the circle.

Don’t.

Be aware that other bikers may try to exit the circle after you enter.

There’s no place for a rebel in a roundabout. Definitely do not turn left.

Agg S ta d i e ium

If you’re exiting soon, ride on the outside.

4. remember that A roundabout is Not a merry-go-round

Exiting will help you avoid riding in endless circles.

Make sure you are on the outer edge of the circle and that there is no one to your right. Turn right and exit.

NOVEMBER

5. no u-turns If you miss your exit, bike in endless circles until you don’t.
