Occupy Davis continues to camp in Central Park Today marks one-month anniversary of occupation By CLAIRE TAN Aggie Staff Writer
Since their occupation began Oct. 15, the participants of Occupy Davis have continued to stand in solidarity. Emma Kluge, a junior economics major, was inspired by Occupy San Francisco to coordinate Occupy Davis. The Occupy Davis site maintainer, Ian Holser, said he at first questioned why they should occupy Davis since it isn’t a symbolic target like Wall Street, the Federal Reserve or the Capitol. He said he realized later that the economic issues they are protesting affect society no matter where people are, thus the protest needs to be everywhere. “It’s difficult to say how many people are participating because not everyone is there at
the same time and we rotate,” said Artem Raskin, a junior political science major, as well as a participant of Occupy Davis. “But I think during the night as it’s getting colder, there’s less people.” Raskin said during their general assemblies, the number of people varies. He said big ones go up to 100, while the small ones fluctuate a lot. “There’s a fair share of students, but it is fairly diverse,” he said. “I’m guessing over half are students. There are probably more young people, but there are people of all generations present.” According to Holser, there is an active community behind the people camping and a dedicated batch who spend most of their time at the camp. “The way Occupy Davis has conducted themselves, we have
not had to conduct any formal action,” said Lt. Paul Doroshov of the Davis Police Department (DPD). “So far, our main concerns are personal safety, property damage and anything like that.” Doroshov said the DPD decided ahead of time to adjust its response based on the actions and behaviors of the participants. He said so far the occupy protesters have been cooperative. “We’re monitoring the campsite and we work cooperatively with some of their formal leaders,” he said. “At this point, it’s their action that will be our reaction.” According to Raskin, the community has donated tents, blankets and the like. He said Occupy Davis participants tend

News iN Brief
UC Regents meeting cancelled due to safety concerns
Free showings of The Help and A Clockwork Orange tonight
The UC Regents meeting scheduled for this week was cancelled due to concerns over potential violence. Sherry Lansing, chair of the Board of Regents, Vice Chair Bruce Varner and President Mark Yudof made an announcement Monday that the meeting was to be postponed due to known “rogue elements intent on violence and confrontation.” “By rescheduling, it is our intent to allow the business of the University of California to go forward, but in a manner that will allow the public, including students, to express their views on issues related to the university without putting their personal safety in
peril,” stated the press release. UC Student Regent Alfredo Mireles and Student Regent-Designate Jonathan Stein released a statement via Facebook, which said that they oppose the cancellation of the meeting. “We would support finding a way for student attendees to exercise their constitutional and moral right to protest while excluding non-student elements that raise the specter of violence and vandalism,” they said. The meeting’s new date and time is still unknown. –– Hannah Strumwasser

The Entertainment Council showed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 last week in Sci Lec 123. Movie screenings like this usually cost the Entertainment Council around $800.
By STEPHANIE B. NGUYEN Aggie News Writer
Each quarter, several organizations on campus bring film screenings to students for little to no cost. The Entertainment Council, a branch of ASUCD, as well as the Sexual Harassment Education Program, strive to screen movies that are fun, relevant and even controversial. Both organizations have working relationships with production companies that have licenses to screen the movies be-
fore they are made available to the rental market or released on DVD. Film screenings usually cost about $800. “We like to bring relevant movies that students will enjoy,” said Anna Hossnieh, the cinema coordinator for the Entertainment Council. “Harry Potter is a good example of this. We knew the DVD was not out yet so we figured being able to see the film in a lecture hall before the DVD release would excite Harry Potter fans on campus.”

Human beings were born with hunter eyes. Our eyes evolved to catch game out in the wild, spotting potential prey and dangers at long distances with natural light to guide us. Nowadays, most of our hunting occurs on a computer screen, Facebook stalking friends and cranking out numerous papers; this mixture of close-ranged focus and artificial lighting strains and tires eyes. Looks can kill. To combat this, researchers recommend placing visual rest-spots around your work area. These can include photos,
artwork, plants — whatever puts your eyes at ease. By alternating your focus between your laptop screen and these rest-spots, you allow your eyes to take a break from the artificial lighting and colors. What if your eyes are already strained? Researchers suggest vigorously rubbing the palms of your hands together and then placing the bottom of your palms over each eye. The heat from your palms relaxes your eye muscles and encourages blood flow to the area. Finally, true eye warriors will follow the 20-2020 rule. Developed and recommended by the American Academy
of Opthamology, the rule dictates we take a visual vacation from our computer screens every 20 minutes to look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. We’re just looking out for you. The ASUCD Student Health and Wellness Committee (SHAWC) aims to promote and address important health-related issues on campus. We serve as the liaison between ASUCD and campus health organizations, clubs, and resources.

Cowboys and girls unite at Davis Rodeo Club Barrel racing, bull riding taught at club clinics By CHRISTINA NOVAKOV-RITCHEY Aggie Features Writer
Early on Saturday mornings, while the rest of Davis is sleeping, members of the Davis Rodeo Club can be found at Horsequarters in West Davis practicing different styles of riding that can be classified as “rodeo.” “The main objective is to get people who have never had any experience on a horse and tell them what rodeo is,” said Amanda Kaschube, junior animal genetics major and president of the Rodeo Club. “A lot of the riders had never been on a horse before this year.” Davis Rodeo Club began 30 years ago, but eventually was disbanded due to insufficient funding. In 2009 the club was resurrected and now holds riding clinics every other week, with focuses on rodeo events such as reining, barrel racing, pole bending, saddle bronc, bareback riding, roping and even bull riding. They also hold monthly meetings and social events. The only requirement for potential members is an interest in rodeo. The dues for be-

coming an official member are $10 per quarter and active members must attend at least three events per quarter. Members can ride horses provided by club officers and Horsequarters, where most clinics are held, free of charge. So what is it that draws these riders — some of whom have never even been on a horse — to get involved with rodeo? Kimberly Ruble, first-year animal science major, said it’s incredibly relaxing, contrary to popular belief. “[Rodeo Club] is relaxing. It is something fun to do,” Ruble said. “It’s not the stereotypical rough cowboy on the horse beating them,” Kaschube added. “It’s really relaxing while you’re there doing it.” On Nov. 5, the Rodeo Club practiced reining, a style of riding in which there is a set pattern for the rider to follow on his or her horse at a quick pace. “[Reining is] a really technical style of riding. Basic — but really technical,” Kaschube said.

You get to be around a group of other college students.” In the past, the Entertainment Council has screened such pre-released films as 500 Days of Summer and Twilight, as well as classics such as Pulp Fiction, Raiders of the Lost Ark and 10 Things I Hate About You. A free screening of the cult classic A Clockwork Orange will take place tonight. The Entertainment Council receives funding from ASUCD and is usually able to bring screenings to students free of charge.

“For movies like Harry Potter, it costs more for the screening rights, so we charge a small fee, usually around $1 to $2,” Hossnieh said. The Sexual Harassment Education Program will screen one movie per quarter through its Sex & the Cinema series. Films are chosen to be controversial and stimulate discussion. “The main purpose is to show a popular movie that has some type of gender and/or sexuality issue in order to attract a large student audience,” said Moira Delgado, the education specialist for the Sexual Harassment Education Program. “We want to get the word out that our program exists for students. We feel that students are the most vulnerable population and tend to know the least about their rights and responsibilities.” In the past, films such as Black Swan, Milk, Precious and Juno have been screened. Tonight, the Sexual Harassment Education Program will screen The Help. Following the screening, Counseling and
could remember, and then they would receive feedback from Kaschube before repeating it to see how they could improve. Despite this training, however, the Rodeo Club is actually not given permission by the university to compete as a team, due to perceptions of the dangerous nature of rodeo. Kaschube said, however, that rodeo has changed a lot from its former image. “People think [rodeo is] this rough and tough thing, but nowadays it is actually pretty gentle,” Kaschube said . Riders who do wish to compete, such as many of the Rodeo Club instructors, enter competitions as individuals and often attend
Psychological Services (CAPS) will co-facilitate a discussion on Wednesday in 325 North Hall at noon. “[The purpose is to] talk about the gender and race issues in the film, including the controversy of the race of the author,” Delgado said.

these competitions together. Whether or not they intend to compete, however, Kaschube said that her goal is to help the members to continue improving their riding skills and expanding their skill set. The Rodeo Club currently has 50 registered members, and about 15 to 25 participants for each of the riding clinics. Saturday’s reining clinic had 17, the “perfect” amount according to Kaschube, because that way there is a good horse-to-rider ratio. “They have so many different horses. There’s a draft horse here. I’d never ridden one before I got here. They’re so cool and so tall,” said junior animal science major Journey Fury.
Some of the members, including Fury and Ruble, had to sell their horses before coming to college, so Rodeo Club gives them a means by which to continue riding, training and just being around horses. Besides this benefit for former horse owners, Fury made it clear that it is a great experience for everyone interested in riding. “Every horse is a different challenge that I like to try to solve,” Fury said. “You feel like you accomplish something so big when you figure them out.” For dates of upcoming clinics and to learn how to join, visit davisrodeo.com.

Occupy cal
Stop beating students police were “forced to use their batons” to enforce a UC Berkeley policy that states that the encampment presented “safety, space and conflict issues.” Campus Police Chief Margo Bennett further justified the use of violence, saying “linking arms in a human chain when ordered to step aside is not a nonviolent protest.” Through these comments, police and administration are blurring the line between what constitutes as violence in an attempt to frame the situation in a manner that casts blame on the protesters. Under no circumstances do non-violent actions warrant a violent response. Furthermore, even if the ambiguous definition of violent protest is accepted, police are still seen in videos brutally responding to protesters who were neither linking arms nor refusing arrest. The purpose of the Occupy Cal movement is not to generate tension between police and protesters, but rather to draw attention to the state’s decreased investment in higher education. We stand in solidarity with the students of UC Berkeley who should continue to exercise their right of expression to question the current course of the public university system. We call out to UC Davis students to voice their own opinions about the pressing issues facing our university, state and country.
Last Wednesday, nine UC Berkeley protesters, after a peaceful march to Bank of America and a noontime rally on Sproul Plaza, voted to set up an encampment in front of Sproul Hall, the UC Berkeley administrative building, to begin the Occupy Cal movement. After ignoring a dispersal order by the campus police department, the peacefully-organized protesters were immediately confronted by police using brutal violence, resulting in the arrest of seven individuals. Such an aggressive response by police toward non-violent protesters is extremely deplorable and not justified under any circumstances. Widely circulated videos and photographs depict the police striking students with batons and using excessive force in making arrests. It is abundantly evident that the severe tactics used were completely unwarranted by the nature of the non-violent protest. While those participating, by ignoring the order to disperse, were all legally subject to arrest, it is expected that the police make the arrests in a non-violent manner. Instead, educated individuals passionate about drawing awareness to the troubles facing higher education were confronted with unprovoked brutality by the very group of people charged with the task of protecting them. UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert J. Birgeneau said that

Student health insurance fees unfair
Students should be aware and careful with their financial bills because the university has a slick way of making money. This is a warning for students to pay special attention of a hidden fee.

In all fairness, the university policy should be that students opt in to the insurance, not the current policy of requiring students to opt out. This is especially crucial for freshmen and transfer students who have stacks of paperwork to fill out and could easily miss the requirement that they sign a waiver in order to relieve the pain of paying unnecessary health insurance for another plan

This mandatory health insurance fee may be just another way for the university to take an unnecessary amount of money away from the students who are already overburdened by the tuition increase. Even in the event of a human or technological error, no help is provided to give the student his or her money back once the University has taken it.

Children affected by cancer find common ground at camp Camp Kesem seeks volunteers for summer By LANI CHAN
Aggie Features Writer
This week, organizers for Camp Kesem, a week-long summer camp for kids whose lives have been affected by cancer, will be holding info sessions to recruit student volunteers to help plan, fundraise and work as counselors. UC Davis is just one of 38 schools across the nation that holds a camp for kids who have or have had a parent diagnosed with cancer. The camp, which runs for six days and five nights and hosts up to 80 kids, offers a chance for kids to enjoy a funfilled week of activities they may have missed out on due to their parent’s illness. The camp, held at Camp Jones Gulch in Santa Cruz, is free to campers and funded by donations. It provides a safe space for each camper to forge muchneeded support systems. “‘Kesem’ means ‘magic’ in Hebrew,” said Kristin Horn, senior psychology major and the organization’s co-chair. “It’s kind of corny, but it’s really a perfect way to describe what happens. Campers start at age six and can continue coming to camp until they are 16, and there’s the counselors who are college students. It’s amazing to see people of such a wide age range learn from each other and grow with each other.” Since the percentage of kids who have dealt with cancer at a young age is small, many feel alienated in school and in social environments.

Arriving at camp is comfortable for each camper because they know that everyone is there for the same reason, Horn said. “I’ve had campers come up to me and say that it was nice showing up in a place where the ice was already broken,” Horn said. “They don’t have to have that initial conversation where they have to tell people, when they first meet them, what their situation is.” Kesem counselors work hard to give the kids an outlet so they can let loose and have the best time possible, providing activities such as ziplining, rock climbing, and arts and crafts. After each fun-packed day, the counselors facilitate ‘cabin talks’ in the evenings, which provide the therapeutic aspect of the camp. “The cabin chats are a chance for them to open up and share their personal experiences,” said Andrew Taverrite, senior communication and political science double major. “It’s a chance for them to relate to one another and know that they’re not the only one out there.” The nightly cabin chats can be challenging, as they remind each participant why they are there, but the Kesem counselors said that the process is definitely a rewarding one. “You can tell when some of the kids are having a harder time than others — they’ll act out because of their situation,” said Vincent Shea, sophomore biology major. “They are dealing with social problems outside of school because they feel uncomfortable. and they use Central Park’s water fountains as one of their main sources of water. “We used to have electricity in the park until the city cut it out,” Raskin said. “So since we don’t have heaters, we dress as warmly as we can, although we are trying

It’s amazing what happens when they come to camp and by the end of the week they are able to open up and talk about their situation with others.” While it may be expected that the kids might have a hard time articulating themselves, the Kesem counselors noted the maturity level demonstrated by the campers during the cabin talks. The campers are at varying stages in the process; some come to camp after a parent’s recent diagnosis, some parents have been in treatment for years, some are in remission and some have passed away. Because of the variety of experiences in dealing with cancer, there are ample opportunities
for both campers and counselors to teach and support each other. Megan Choi, sophomore biology major and a coordinator in charge of camper care, remarked on the selflessness of each camper during cabin talks. “Not all the questions are directly related to experiences with cancer. One of my favorite questions to ask the kids is, if they had three wishes, what would they be,” Choi said. “One girl wished for nobody to be sick, for nobody to be sad and for nobody to be fighting. She was around 10 years old. It was amazing.” This week is Kesem Week, where the organization’s coor-

dinators will host informational sessions for those hoping to get involved with the organization. Students can apply to be counselors for the camp that will take place in Summer 2012, from June 17 to 22. Camp Kesem is looking for counselors who are currently college students and enjoy working with kids. However, applicants do not have to have been closely affected by cancer to become Kesem counselors. “What is most important is that you are able to support kids in that situation,” Horn said. “We look for people who are funny and creative.” All students are encouraged to get involved, as it helps develop leadership and team-building skills and helps to raises cancer awareness, Taverrite said. “It’s such a good way to give back,” Taverrite said. “It’s a really great group of people that comes together for a great cause.” Horn said that one of the most valuable things she has taken from Camp Kesem is being able to see the campers’ development over the past three years, as many of the campers become regulars. “It’s great that I’ve had this since freshman year. I love it,” Horn said. “But just one year will change your life.” The first Camp Kesem info session will be held today at 11:50 a.m. in Olson 251.

SoCal heat too much for UC Davis Aggies lose three games in San Diego tournament
MEN’S BASKETBALL By Caelum Shove Aggie Sports Writer
The 2011-12 men’s basketball season got off to a rough start this weekend as the team lost all three games it played in the Basketball Traveler’s Tournament at San Diego State. But fans shouldn’t start running for the exits just yet. The three tournament games were first regular season contests under new head coach Jim Les, who came to UC Davis this past spring after nine years in charge of his alma mater, Bradley. Les led the Bradley Braves to the sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament in 2006 and was 154-140 overall in his nine years there. Now in charge of the Aggies, Les is asking the players to adapt to his system, which focuses on physical up-tempo defense, something never seen under former head coach Gary Stewart. If anything, this weekend’s slate of games showed that the Aggies have yet to fully integrate Les’s strategy. They’re starting to figure it out, though, said Les, and the execution will only get better with time. “We need to play games,” Les said. “The guys need to get used to our system and doing it live. It’s a young group [and] they’re learning a whole new way of thinking and doing things. There’s a process that you need to go through in order to eventually achieve success.” The five starters from the season opener against Southern Utah — Ryan Sypkens, Josh Ritchart, Ryan Howley, Tyrell Corbin
and Alex Tiffin — each garnered three starts this weekend, as Les never altered the opening lineup. Those five will not be the starters all season, though. Les will have key decisions to make upon the return from injury of Eddie Miller and Harrison Dupont, two presumptive starters. The coach is unwilling to risk further injury to his players by rushing them back to the court and classified their status as both “day to day.” Friday –– Southern Utah 76, UC Davis, 75 The contest against the Thunderbirds was the closest of the weekend. UC Davis was down 73-66 with 34 seconds remaining before ratcheting up backcourt pressure and scoring two baskets, cutting the lead to 74-72 with 13 seconds left. The Aggies forced a turnover and had a chance to tie the game or win, before turning it over themselves. After a UC Davis foul, Southern Utah made two free throws to extend the lead to four, and a UC Davis three as time expired did nothing to change the outcome. Despite the furious comeback, Les was displeased with his team’s physical effort, as they were out-rebounded 43-23 in the game. “I thought Friday was an aberration for who we are,” Les said. “I really got into them after the game about how they performed in particular on the defensive end and their ability to finish the defense and pay attention to personnel and how guys need to be played.” Saturday –– Bryant 70, UC Davis 63 The players took Coach
Les’s message to the court on Saturday, playing tough defense against a physical Bryant team. Seventy was the fewest points the Aggies gave up in a game this weekend, and the rebounding was there as well, with Bryant grabbing only four more boards than UC Davis. Saturday’s contest was also the clearest representation of the shooting ability of this young UC Davis team. Sypkens was 4-8 from behind the arc, Howley was 3-5 and Ritchart led the way going 5-9 from deep. “The one thing that stands out to me daily is that we’re a very good shooting team,” Les said. “What I’m convincing them about is that we’re a defensive team that can score.” Sunday –– San Diego State 89, UC Davis 74 The Aztecs, a sweet 16 team last year, provided the stiffest competition of the tournament for the Aggies. San Diego State took a 48-29 lead into halftime and then used an 18-6 run in the second half to put the game out of reach. “We missed some really good shots in the first half,” Les said. “To come back in the second half and shoot 62 percent as a team [is great]. They key for us is when we go through those stretches where shots don’t fall, we’ve got to become stingier on defense. It’s a mindset.” The Aggies have another chance to get their first win of the season tonight against the Division III Banana Slugs of UC Santa Cruz at the Pavilion at 7 p.m. CAELUM SHOVE can be reached at sports@ theaggie.org.

Aggie Digest
Aggies start with a bang UC Davis wins first two games of season deficit with only 9:37 remaining. The Aggies chipped away at the lead until they found themselves ahead 67-65 with 31 seconds to play. When the Huskies converted a three-point play to gain the lead, UC Davis had eight seconds on the clock to pull out a victory lest their 23-8 point run over the past nine minutes went to waste. The heroine would be Blair Shinoda, whose layup put the Aggies up for good. The junior ended with eight points on the night, but of the Aggies’ final seven points, Shinoda contributed six of her own. Senior Hana Asano and junior Cortney French paced UC Davis with 12 points apiece in the victory, but the win was a product of the entire Aggies’ lineup. “We really had to unite and come together as a group because we had to fight back,” Gross said. “We were extremely poised.”

“It feels great to start off the season this way,” Gross said. “We feel confident about these wins, but we know we have to keep working hard.”
With much anticipation leading up to this season, there is pressure on the UC Davis women’s basketball program to play at the same standards as last year. The Aggies more than held their own this week, as they ground out two tough road victories to open the season. With a thrilling lastsecond victory against Pac-12 University of Washington on Wednesday and a back-and-forth battle with Seattle University, UC Davis is in a good position to pick up where it left off at the end of last season. The wins mark the first two of the season for the Aggies, as well as the first with Jennifer Gross as head coach.
Friday –– UC Davis 69, University of Washington 68 UC Davis completed a comeback in the closing seconds of the game to steal a victory from University of Washington at the Huskies’ home court. The Aggies’ season debut showcased much of what Gross has predicted will be the face of the team this year. “If you look at our stats, it’s hard to pick any one player that did everything for us,” Gross said. Indeed, with a balanced attack from everywhere on the court, UC Davis found itself up 37-35 at the end of the first half. Yet, this lead vanished and the Huskies turned it into a 13-point

Sunday –– UC Davis 66, Seattle University 62 In what turned out to be an upand-down game, UC Davis built a 15-point lead by halftime. As time went by, this lead would dwindle but the Aggies held on for their second win of the season. The Redhawks brought the score back within two points on several occasions, only to have the Aggies pull away in the tug-of-war matchup. Senior Samantha Meggison scored 18 points and nabbed seven steals, both of which are career highs. “The whole team really executed down the stretch and it was a good learning experience,” Gross said. “We need to learn how to play in all different situations, whether we’re up 15 or down a couple, and we’re getting a lot of practice with that.” What had the potential to be a full-blown collapse fortunately never turned into one, and UC Davis slipped by for its second victory of the season. “I’m really excited about how our team performed, both were team wins,” Gross said. “We had a lot of people step up and contribute.” The two victories in Seattle combine to make a good start of the 2011-12 campaign for UC Davis, and the Aggies will return to the Pavilion on Wednesday for their home opener.

Men’s Water Polo UC Davis finished its regular season over the weekend with two defeats against California and Stanford. With the losses, the Aggies finished the season 20-10. The weekend started with the home finale against No. 3 Cal, as the Golden Bears proved why it is in the hunt for a National Championship with a 13-6 victory. Senior Aaron Salit netted a hat trick in his final home appearance, but the Bears were just too much, dominating the game and taking an 11-3 lead into the 4th period. UC Davis traveled to California’s rival in Palo Alto on Sunday, but the sto-
ry wasn’t much different with a 12-7 defeat. The No. 4 Cardinal held a 7-2 lead at halftime, and the Aggies’ comeback was too little, too late. Salit again scored a hat trick, plus one, bringing his season total to 75 goals, the highest total amassed by a UC Davis player since Mike Gotelli set the school-record with 115 in 1997. The Aggies hope the stiff competition will prepare them for the Western Water Polo Association Championship, which will take place next weekend. UC Davis will enter the tournament as the fourth seed. — Russell Eisenman
