Expert panel discusses civil liberties Opinions on war, national defense emerge

By ROHIT RAVIKUMAR Aggie News Writer

Students and guests gathered at Giedt Hall for an event organized by the student libertarian organization Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) last Tuesday. There, three prominent political pundits spoke about the issues of civil liberties facing the United States.

Though the event’s press release labeled it a debate — “Liberal, Conservative and Libertarian Experts Debate Civil Liberties” — the first speaker, libertarian Jacob Hornberger, proved that statement incorrect. “Guess what?

It’s not a debate,” Hornberger said.

Hornberger was followed by Glenn Greenwald and Bruce Fein, who identified as liberal and conservative, respectively.

Both addressed the state of civil liberties in this country and indicted President Barack Obama for leaving Guantanamo Bay open, continuing America’s policy of military in-

tervention around the world and for passing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

The NDAA was spoken about at length by all of the speakers, including the moderator, pundit Jack Hunter.

“Barack Obama has given us the NDAA, which can impose indefinite detention on American citizens,” Hunter said.

In his speech, Hornberger criticized the economic sanctioning policies of the United States, often seen as a cleaner alternative to war.

“You’ve got occupations, invasions, sanctions, embargoes; you’ve got an embargo against the Cuban people that’s lasted for some 50 years ... and they squeeze the lifeblood out of the Cuban people. I’ve been to Cuba; people are suffering,” Hornberger said.

Greenwald, who spoke next, discussed the likely applications of the powers granted to the president by the Patriot Act and the NDAA.

referenced a section of the civil code that he said infringed on due process.

“Any government official in the state of California can institute any proceeding, judicial or administrative, and not be held accountable in a court of law, even if the act was with malice and without probable cause,” Li said.

The panel did not know much on this provision.

Another audience member stated that the issues of civil liberties could best be solved by increasing the number of representatives in the House of Representatives.

“There comes a point at which you have such a great number that discourse becomes impossible,” Fein said in response.

The event was the second of five stops for the panelists on a Civil Liberties College Tour.

Program offers students chance to work and travel abroad

Woman raped near Downtown Davis Last Thursday, a 20-yearold woman was raped on the sidewalk near the intersection of Fourth and I Street at around 11:50 p.m.

Sgt. Mike Munoz of the Davis Police Department (DPD) told KCRA 3 that the woman wasn’t able to provide a detailed description of the rapist due to the darkness and due to the attack occurring from behind.

The attacker smashed the woman’s cell phone to pre-

“It is always the case ... that abuses of government power extend far beyond their original application. If you look at how the Patriot Act was justified when it was enacted, it was supposed to be a temporary measure to combat terrorism, but if you look at how it’s been used over the last decade, it has been used overwhelmingly...in cases completely unrelated.”

Fein, the final speaker, referenced the power of the American military relative to its enemies toward the end of his speech.

“If you took the troop-to-enemy ratio towards Al Qaeda and Afghanistan today, and applied that ratio to World War II, fighting the Germans and Japanese, we would have fielded an armed force of three and a half billion soldiers,” Fein said.

After the three speeches, the floor was opened up to a round of questions and answers.

The first audience member to speak was former City Council candidate Jon Li, who

Camp Adventure provides students work with children internationally

By NATASHA QABAZARD Aggie News Writer

Camp Adventure Child and Youth Services presents students the opportunity to go travel to various parts of the world, while getting free airfare, housing and a daily stipend. Selected camp counselors get the chance to explore life on a military base while becoming exposed to new cultures and environments.

Camp Adventure, with its slogan “Catch the magic!” is a service program offered through the University of Northern Iowa, which provides college-aged students with summer camp counselor and leadership positions. The program has sites in 23 different countries in Europe and Asia, along with some in the United States. For assignments, counselors rank the countries from one to 23 in order of preference. While veterans are generally given priority, most participants will get to work in one of their top 10 preferred countries.

Megan Elliot, Staff Development Coordinator at UC Davis and CSU Sacramento, has attended sites in Hawaii, Italy and Iwakuni and Yokosuka in Japan.

“We look for students who enjoy working with children,” Elliot said.

“In Camp Adventure Youth Services, the children always come first.

Camp Adventure students are full of energy, are creative and are looking to create magical moments for youth that last a lifetime.”

In order for participants to be considered, they must have 40 hours of youth experience in a group setting with children between the ages of 5 to 12, a GPA of 2.5 or higher and no misdemeanors or felonies on their record.

Camp Adventure does not just help those wanting to see the world, but it also offers valuable work experience.

“After my Camp Adventure Youth Services experiences, I received a job working as the Youth Activities Director on a Naval Base,” Elliot said.

Before participating in Camp Adventure, students must attend training alternating between the UC Davis and CSU Sacramento campuses, during Winter and Spring quarters, every Tuesday from 6 to 9 p.m.

“The training process was timeconsuming but completely worth it at the end when I had all of these invaluable tools,” said Amanda Jones, a third-year psychology major who worked on the Iwakuni, Japan base this summer. “It defi-

nitely prepared me for the summer with the kids.”

Camp counselors are trained in games and first aid, as well as how to deal with the problems that many military children have due to isolation and frequent moves because of their parents’ profession.

“I would highly recommend this program to others because it is a wonderful chance to travel abroad, to work with children, to build your résumé and to meet people from all over the country who have the same interests as you,” said Lindsey Armstrong, a fourth-year managerial economics major and head of recruitment at UC Davis. Armstrong spent 10 weeks on the Zama, Japan site.

Camp Adventure is currently accepting applications. Interested students should visit their website at campadventure.com to fill out information sheets. Information Sessions are currently taking place in 114 South Hall today at noon and Tuesday, Nov. 27 at 11 a.m.

There will be interviews on campus Nov. 27. An alternate date is Dec. 8, at CSU Sacramento. These sessions are mandatory in order to participate in the program.

Students invited to think big at art museum open forum Local artists prioritize museum collections over educational art programs

By MENGSHI SHAO Aggie News Writer

Three open forums were held to gather ideas and opinions from students and community and faculty members for the building of the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, which is estimated to open in 2016.

Last Thursday, an open forum for students was held in Nelson Hall, which is the current art gallery on campus.

The estimated cost of the building is $30 million, which does not include additional funds required for the development of the museum and the outdoor spaces. The museum’s outdoor spaces will be nearly double the size of the physical building.

Unlike UCLA and UC Berkeley, which have their art museums off campus, the new museum of UC Davis will be on campus, across the Mondavi Center.

“We really want this museum to function as a community center and that’s why we are doing [these] open forums — to get people involved early. The best way to get people excited to go to the events is to let them participate in the process,” said Rachel Teagle, the direc-

tor of Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art. According to Teagle, students will not be charged to go to the museum. The maintenance fee will be covered by funds previously collected from donors such as Jan and Maria Manetti Shrem.

During the open forum, students of various majors shared their own opinions. Hands-on programs were the most frequent suggestions.

Students explained that they want more space to experience art rather than looking at pieces of art. Art workshops and graduate-led tours were also suggested.

“I’m so excited to know that twothirds of the new museum will be outdoors and we could do a lot of untraditional things like combining the idea of science and technology,” said Dylan Laufenberg, a firstyear computer science major.

As for the architectural features of the art museum, students offered new and creative ideas.

Students suggested that a dome should be built for display and the exterior of the building be used for movie nights.

The opinions from community members focused more on the art collections rather than the programs.

“I really want the museum to focus on collections. I’m a little bit disappointed in the size of the gallery and the storage space,” said Randall Goodwin, an architect, who has been living in Davis for 15 years. “... The Nelson Art Museum was constrained but they have done a good job.”

The grounds of the new art museum will be 75,000 square feet, and the building will be approximately 25,000 square feet. The rest of the 50,000 square feet will be left for outdoor space.

“I think the program is great and I think people will come,” said Stephen Giannetti, local artist and UC Davis alumnus. “Instead of taking the museum out for [public or community] events, I would like to see this space function more as an art museum.”

According to Teagle, the museum primarily aims to serve University faculty and students and then grow with time to cater to members of the community.

“We are a university art museum. It is my hope that as our staff grows, and certainly through our events programs, we will also serve our community,” she said.

Teagle said that 19 contractorarchitecture teams were compet-

The museum will be located near the main entrance of the University. Teagle estimated that they will break ground for the museum in 2014, with an exact date depending on the architecture team that is selected.

Presentations Paul Medved expressed concerns about the funding of intramural sports and the four sports that were eliminated from the university. He suggested that ASUCD help reinstate sports teams that were eliminated and that the Senate table require quarterly reports from the Intercollegiate Athletics (ICA) department that would help in discussions about budget and spending.

UC Davis Police Department (UCDPD) Police Chief Matthew Carmichael explained what actions he is implementing to improve the police department in response to the Nov. 18 pepper spray incident.

Carmichael also explained that public reports will be released online that would document each incident that required the use of force. Officers were also required to attend training on new and gentler ways to implement force when necessary. He explained that the UCDPD is looking to involve community members in officer hiring through community-based hiring panels. Additionally, he said that the department will sponsor UC Davis students to attend the police academy, and will in turn hire one student a year to the UCDPD.

Public announcements

for the Aggies.

This was the second time UC Davis fell to Stanford this season, but this time around it was a much more even match-up. Back on Oct. 5, the Aggies were handed a 5-0 beating by the Cardinal down in Stanford.

The loss drops UC Davis to 6-10 on the year with a 2-2 record in con-

ference. This was also the first loss the Aggies sustained at home this year.

UC Davis will continue its NorPac conference competition with games next week on Friday and Sunday against California and Pacific, respectively.

Kapur encouraged people to register to vote by Oct. 22.

Halloween at Wright Hall Theatre Department is campus headquarters for seasonal festivities

By ANDREW RUSSELL Aggie Arts Writer

In the next few weeks leading up to Oct. 31, Wright Hall, home of UC Davis’ theatre and dance department, will be housing several Halloween-related services and events.

First is the Enchanted Cellar, a costumerental service with an ever-growing library of diverse costumes. Although the Cellar has been providing year-round service since 2008, the Halloween season marks a temporary change in operations with special hours for viewing, trying on and renting costumes from Oct. 17 to 31.

Among the most recently offered costumes are Catwoman, Steampunk-themed costumes and both Black Widow and Thor from The Avengers.

Roxanne Femling, director of the costume shop at UC Davis, gave us an idea of just how unique and detailed these costumes are.

“Many of our costumes are from our past productions … and we add accesso-

ries to them. For the past three years we have actually started building costumes just for rentals,” Femling said. “Our costumes set us apart because they are built for quality, durability and close authenticity. When we create costumes, we research all details to make the character look like the original drawing, photo or filmstrip.”

Not only will customers be able to choose from the wide and ever-changing selection in storage – about 20,000 individual items including jewelry and hats – but there are further perks in visiting the Cellar, with a 50 percent discount offered to students, faculty, staff and affiliates of UC Davis.

Next week will also see the theatre department’s crowning seasonal event in “The Haunt at Wright Hall,” an immersive walk-through haunted house culminating in a Halloween dance party. This will be the first in what will become an annual event put on at Wright Hall.

The next possession, senior linebacker Jordan Glass made an interception, giving the Aggie possession on their opponent’s 30-yard line.

The turnover was huge, considering how Northern Arizona had not committed a turnover in 18 quarters prior to this matchup.

mixture, equal parts live performance and more conventional haunted house scares.

A good deal of preparation has gone into the scripting and direction of the event, themed on an old gothic tale called “The Handless Maiden.”

Bella Merlin, theatre professor and one of the The Haunt’s directors, explains what makes it more complex and involved than the average haunted house.

“The twisted fairy tale element means that the audience will have a narrative thread through each section and be very close to the action throughout,” Merlin said.

According to artistic director Josy Miller, the experience is broken into seven segments.

“Each space the audience moves through allows them to encounter another piece of the story,” Miller said.

“Some are scripted versus some that are mazes with more traditional haunted house elements.”

In total, the event takes 35 to 40 minutes

five minutes left in the game.

A factor in the game was the high altitude of the opposing teams stadium.

“I think personally it did and I had to get used to it after the first quarter, but once I got going it was fine, it just takes some getting used to,” Nicolis said.

Next week, the Aggies return home to take on Portland State at Aggie Stadium.

“I think that being number one in the league is outstanding,” said Shaffer. “The Big West is one of the toughest conferences in the country. It makes us proud to represent UC Davis soccer and the Athletics Department.”

UC Davis will face UC Santa Barbara on Sunday at Harder Stadium at 2 p.m.

The Aggies continued to butt heads with the Wahine, keeping afloat by making a late surge in the third set, but the balanced attack of Hawai’i proved too much to handle.

Senior Allison Whitson and junior Devon Damelio boasted impressive games with 13 kills apiece. Whitson claimed a .257 hitting percentage, while Damelio finished with .250.

Junior setter Jenny Woolway also stepped up with 36 assists and a team-high 11 digs of her own.

there is no doubt this match has established a precedent and an expectation for all forthcoming matches between these two talented squads.

Saturday - Cal State Northridge 3, UC Davis 1 Cal State Northridge’s confidence was in full force coming off a five-set win against the University of Pacific as they took on the travel-beaten Aggies on Saturday night.

Pacific came out strong with their well-balanced attack in the first set, claiming the win 25-15.

UC Davis responded well in game two as they pulled away with the resilient 23-25 win.

Coach Holmes mixed things up a bit in this match,

starting junior setter Lindsay Dowd in the place of Woolway, who was coming off a gritty match against the Wahine.

Dowd set a personal record with 32 assists in the match, but unfortunately the Aggies were not able to tack up a win to go along with her achievement.

After long flights and little sleep, it appeared the Aggies were simply unable to muster the energy to pull of a come-from-behind win on the road.

UC Davis continues their road travels next week as they match up with Cal State Fullerton and UC Riverside for their weekend series before returning home for a well-deserved rest.

UC Davis football loses to Northern Arizona 21-7

Aggies lose defensive battle to Lumberjacks

S

ince the New York Yankees lost to the Tigers, I’ve been wearing a Yankees shirt every day.

Which, I guess, means my dress code doesn’t change at all, nor has it since second grade.

I always say this is the year with them. With the Yanks, it’s a bolder prediction than it was 10 years ago.

As for UC Davis, it’s fair to say these upcoming years will be the start of their dynasty. In the world of sports, it’s a good time to be a UC Davis student — forget Berkeley and UCLA. Life at UC Davis is better than anything they’ve got up there. Look at Ariel. She thought life on land was better, but when she got there, her singing voice was stolen by a hugely overweight octopus witch. That could have happened to you at another school; you never know.

Anyways, let’s take a look at some of our sports that are showing that UC Davis can put together programs rivaling any established school.

Don’t go wishing you were part of that world.

Women’s cross country is definitely one of the top 50 teams in the nation. They just recently finished 10th in the NCAA Pre-Nationals meet, which included top-ranked Florida State.

Juniors Sarah Sumpter and Alycia Cridebring are leading the Aggies, providing the onetwo punch every single meet.

UC Davis won its first-ever Big West championship last year, with Sumpter and Cridebring leading the pack.

Of the top five Aggie finishers at the Big West meet, only one of them was a senior that year.

With Sumpter and Cridebring putting in faster times than last year’s competitions, head coach Drew Wartenburg says even the 10th place finish wasn’t quite the result they were hoping for.

Next, the golf teams. I’m guessing that there are about as many of you who have seen the golf teams play as there are people who actually understand all the crazy things I say in these columns.

Women’s golf is particularly impressive this year, as they were for the past couple seasons. Last year they won the Big West Championships for the third straight year.

Looking to four-peat will be every single player from the 2011-12 roster. The only member the Aggies lost from last year’s 23rd-ranked team was head coach Anne Walker, who took a position coaching Stanford.

Now coach Anna Temple’s job is just to let the veterans play as they know they can. Seniors Demi Runas and Amy Simanton played in U.S. women’s amateur events this summer and have been competing at an extremely high level this fall season.

You could even consider them a powerhouse. How many of you knew that the UC Davis women’s golf team is currently ranked No. 4 in the national rankings? I’m willing to guess that it was as few of you who would be willing to drink the Polyjuice Potion with my hair in it.

As for the men’s golf team, there’s really no telling what they’re going to do this year.

The Aggies surprised the golf world by winning the Big West conference last year without Tyler Raber, who redshirted and saved his senior year for this season.

Led by a triage of M’s in the sophomore pair of Matts (Seramin and Hansen) and then-freshman Mike Brockington, UC Davis pulled a conference championship out of what should have been a rebuilding year.

This was about as epic and surprising to see as Luke finding out that Darth Vader was his father.

Football

By JASON MIN

Aggie Sports Writer

Coming off a week where the UC Davis offense racked up over

50 points against Idaho State, the Aggie offense struggled to score and lost to Northern Arizona 21-7.

The loss dropped the Aggies to 3-5 overall and 2-3 in the Big Sky while the Lumberjacks improved to 6-1 and maintained their perfect record of 4-0 against Big Sky

opponents.

This was the first time that the two schools ever played each other and started off the game with each offense struggling to figure out the opponent’s defense.

“I thought both teams played very hard. It was a physical game and a lot of really hard hitting out there,” said head coach Bob Biggs.

The Aggie defense did a good job limiting the Lumberjacks offense, which had scored 40 points in three of its last four games and was ranked 20th in the FCS in scoring (33.7points per game).

The focus on defense was to stop the Northern Arizona running back Zach Bauman, who was ranked number seven in the FCS in rushing and had five straight 100-yard rushing games. Bauman ended up with 122 yards on the ground while also racking up another 51 yards and a touchdown receiving.

“I thought we contained Bauman for the most part,” Biggs said.

“Besides the shovel pass and the big play before halftime I thought our defense played well.”

The game was scoreless into

the second quarter where the Lumberjacks connected on a 17 yard touchdown pass.

Both defenses held strong, leading to a copious amount of punts from both teams. Senior punter Colton Schmidt punted seven times for a 46.1 yard average while the Aggie defense forced the Lumberjacks to punt 10 times throughout the game.

“Coming out, we had a good game plan, our coaches have prepared us each week with a good game plan,” said senior linebacker Byron Gruendl. “This week I think we picked up on their tendencies and what type of plays they were running.”

Gruendl finished the game with a team high of 10 tackles as well as a sack. The Aggie defense totaled three sacks throughout the game in addition to 11.0 tackles for loss and three from redshirt freshman Walter Earnest himself.

“We knew what type of plays they were running before they even ran them, but today they were just making good plays and we were

UC Davis men’s soccer claims top spot in the Big West The Aggies stun Sacramento State 3-1 men’s soccer

By VEENA BANSAL Aggie Sports Writer

On Saturday night, the UC Davis men’s soccer team beat Sacramento State 3-1 in Sacramento to claim the top spot in the Big West Conference Championships.

The Aggies now maintain 15 points in the Big West, while Cal Poly and Sacramento State are tied for second with 13 points. UC Davis has improved to a 7-5-4 overall record and 5-2 in the Big West.

The Aggies started off slowly in the first half, but were able to regroup during halftime and pick up their energy and momentum to score three goals within a 19-minute span.

“This was the strongest performance that I can remember,” said Coach Dwayne Shaffer. “We were on fire, played perfect soccer and came away with a win.”

In the 40th minute, Isaac Ikyurav of Sacramento State fired a shot on the near post from only eight yards out. Junior goalkeeper Omar Zeenni managed to get a hand on it, but the shot deflected

off of Zeenni and soared into the top of the net.

The Aggies fired up in the second half, outshooting the Hornets 16-0. Junior forward Alex Aguiar set the tone for the offensive plays, attempting four shots in the first thirteen minutes of the second half.

Sophomore defender Brian Ford scored the equalizing goal in the 60th minute, making this his first goal of the season. Ford was able to head in junior forward Alex Henry’s corner kick.

The Aggies’ morale and confidence boosted significantly and from there they played stellar soccer to seal the victory. Freshman Eric Budniewski scored his first career goal in the 68th minute to give the team the lead.

Aguiar crossed a ball into the box and found Budniewski in the far post. Budniewski struck the ball past the Hornet goalkeeper to give UC Davis the 2-1 lead.

Senior John Joslin scored his first goal of the season to give the Aggies a total of three on the game.

Junior forward Elliott Hord passed the ball to Joslin, who then pelted the shot into the lower left corner.

From there, the Aggies played solid defense and closed out the

Aggie Digest Aggies drop two on the road Hawai’i no honeymoon for UC Davis volleyball

By PK HATTIS

Aggie Sports Writer

The Aggies’ first trip to Hawai’i began like a honeymoon, but ended in disappointment as they lost the match 23-25, 25-16, 25-21, 25-16.

UC Davis came out on Thursday with a solid punch to the gut of Hawai’i as they quickly stole a thrilling first set by a score of 23-25. But it wasn’t enough to control the dynamic attack of the Wahine.

The Aggies came into Cal State Northridge on Saturday night, hungry for a road win, but were sorely disappointed as they dropped their second match in a row 25-15, 23-25, 25-18, 25-23.

Junior Devon Damelio sported consistent quality performances in both matches over the week, tallying a total of 24 kills and a respectable .250 and .281 hitting percentage in each respective game.

The Aggies fall to 10-12 overall and 4-5 in Big West play. UC Davis

will continue with two more games on the road against Cal State Fullerton and UC Riverside before returning back to the Pavillion in early November.

The team will look to respond positively with two wins on the road and will hope to ride that wave of momentum back onto their home court.

Thursday — Hawai’i 3, UC Davis 1 For a moment, the Aggies appeared to have found a fatal hole in the University of Hawai’i’s armor — but it was one that lasted only briefly.

After hours of flying across the ocean, the Aggies arrived in Hawai’i ready to play, scoring an improbable victory in game one of their matchup with the heavily favored Warriors. But the sweet smell of paradise was short-lived and the Wahine responded with an abrupt reality check of their own, taking the next three games to win the match.

In Hawai’i, an attitude of “go big or go home” was not just a statement reserved for the local surfers. Both teams maintained an
