For many, the idea of a pay increase in the midst of a struggling economy is hard to imagine. There is a select group, however, that has managed to stray from the trend of thinned paychecks. Information released by the Financial Aid Office about the cost of living during summer prompted Associated Students to vote on April 21 to increase the pay of its executive board members. According to the bylaw in the A.S. executive board members’ contract, which dictates compensation, members are to be paid the estimated cost of living of a single undergraduate student residing off campus — a figure estimated each year by the Financial Aid Office. Before the vote, executive board members received compensation for only the fall and spring semesters, despite a requirement to work during the summer. Next year’s execu-
tive board members were scheduled to be paid $21,490. The Financial Aid Office determined the cost of living for the upcoming summer months to be $4,947, an estimation that was reportedly unknown to the board until recently. Dan Cornthwaite, executive director of A.S., proposed that because the executive board members are required to reside at San Diego State year-round, it would be appropriate to include the summer months in their annual pay. “Over the years, observing the work ethic of the execs, it’s money well spent,” Cornthwaite said. This year’s current executive board will also be compensated the $4,731 — last summer’s cost of living — they would have been paid after the revision. A.S. will not compensate past employees and has no legal obligation to, according to Cornthwaite. “They work during the summer and deserve the money for the work they put in,” Jennifer Brooks, who is a council representative for
the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts, said. The current executive board abstained from voting, along with next year’s executive board members, and the vote passed 17-7 with 15 members abstaining.
“Over the years, observing the work ethic of the execs, it’s money well spent.” —Dan Cornthwaite, A.S. Executive Director A.S. President Pro Tempore Sean Kashanchi said it makes sense for members to get paid for the work they put in, but said the job is about more than just the money. Not everyone is happy with the outcome of the vote, however.
A.S. member Isaac Castro, LGBTSU student representative, voted against the pay increase, saying that while it’s logical to pay the members for the summer, the raise was hard to justify because of the state budget cuts and student fee increases. The Andrea O’Donnell Women’s Outreach Association representative, Natalie McKenna, said she abstained from voting because she felt uncomfortable voting on the issue among the people whose salary would be affected. She also felt the outgoing executive members should not get the additional money for last summer. While the bulk of the money going to the outgoing executives will come from savings in this year’s budget, A.S. has not determined how it will fund the incoming executives’ raise. Executive members Ignacio Prado and Tyler Boden both reported working anywhere between 30 to 45 hours each week, and in addition to their executive salary, both are currently receiving financial aid.

The San Diego St ate At hletic Department will be holding tryouts for a new character mascot today. Hopeful mascots will meet in the Peterson Gym for tr youts,
which are scheduled to last from 6 to 7 p.m. According to Associate Athletic Director Steve Schnall, the new mascot costume is based off Major League Baseball’s Phillie Phanatic. Because the mascot’s costume has already been selected, candidates are required to be between 5 feet 5 inches and 6 feet tall in order to fit into it. Both men and women can try out. Those trying out will be asked to perform a brief skit that shows
crowd interaction, and there will also be an interview portion. Although the athletic department has begun the search for a new mascot, Schnall said he thinks it is important for people to know that SDSU is not replacing the Aztec Warrior. Instead, the new mascot will work alongside cheerleaders, the dance team and the Aztec Warrior. According to Schnall, the Aztec Warrior cannot do certain tricks or
stunts because the university wants to uphold the tradition of the Aztec culture. This new mascot, however, will not have these restrictions. The athletic directors have not revealed the identity of the new character mascot. Schnall said he would like there to be some element of surprise surrounding the mascot’s revelation. The new mascot is scheduled to be unveiled at SDSU’s first home football game on Sept. 4.

Alumni pledge $4 million to library Malcolm A. Love Library will receive the pledge in the form of a bequest R O B E R T M ORENO S TA F F W R I T E R
Robin Luby’s life at San Diego State began at the library. Now, a part of her will always be there. Robin and her husband Charles Luby, both SDSU alumni, are pledging $4 million to the Malcolm A. Love Library. The pledge was announced less than two weeks ago when the Lubys were selected by Librar y & Information Access as Monty Award recipients for their contributions to the university. SDSU will receive the pledge in the form of a bequest, meaning the money will be handed to the library when they both pass away.
“For research, I spent many hours in the library when I was a student ... The library was the first building I was familiar with (at SDSU).” —Robin Luby, SDSU alumna According to Robin, the bequest comes from the evaluation of their estate, which means the amount could increase or decrease depending on the progress of the economy. The Lubys said they decided to
pledge the money to the library because of its importance to student success. “The library acts as a resource for those who want to learn,” Robin said. The pledge differs from a donation in that the money is given at a specific time, as opposed to a donation where the money is given up front. Jon Cawthorne, interim dean of Library and Information Access, said this will be the biggest pledge the library has received. Cawthorne said he and the Lubys are working together to decide how the library should spend the $4 million. Robin said the money could be spent on periodicals, the facility itself or on additional computers. Robin, an English graduate in 1961, said she frequently visited the library as a student. “For research, I spent many hours in the library when I was a student,” Robin said. “The library was the first building I was familiar with (at SDSU).” Cawthorne said this pledge will go a long way in enhancing the quality of education for the students. The library is very grateful for this pledge and for the couple, he said. “It is so humbling to have (the Lubys) think of the library and have them give a gift. It is really tremendous,” Cawthorne said. The Lubys belong to the Friends of the Library, but their involvement with SDSU doesn’t end there. They also served on the Alumni Association Board of Directors. Blake Lopez, an economics junior, said it’s “cool” to know that the Lubys want to support SDSU with this pledge. He also said this pledge is a good investment for students like him who enjoy the benefits of the library. “I spend a lot of hours in the library studying for tests and doing homework,” Lopez said. “(The library) is vital to our educational system.” Lopez said he would like to see the library spend the money on new lounge chairs, more computers and funding more exhibits. In the past, the Lubys have been involved with scholarship funds, donations and special projects.

Renting rules that help save money
Maura Ochoa / Staff Photographer
Following certain steps help to avoid legal issues.
A N T H O N Y A R TA L E S TA F F W R I T E R
The battle between tenants and landlords is one many students can relate to. From signing a lease to getting a deposit back, renting a home or apartment takes some work. But taking the right steps can save people from financial and legal problems.
such as re-paint or re-carpet, the money can come out of the deposit if the damages are outside the range of “normal wear and tear.” For example, a landlord can deduct the cost of cleaning carpet stains from a deposit, but not for normal wear in a carpet that may be seen in front of a doorway. The time it takes for a landlord to return a tenant’s deposit varies state to state. In California, it is three weeks after the lease agreement is terminated. On return, the landlord must present the entire deposit or an itemized list of what deductions were made. If the landlord has not produced either of the two, he or she can be brought to small claims court and sued for the deposit, and in some states can be sued for two to three times the amount owed.

Rent The rent for an apartment is set by the lease agreement. As long as the renter has signed the lease, a landlord may not increase the rent unless an agreement in the lease says so. However, if the lease has expired, the home or apartment may switch to a month-to-month rental. In that case, a landlord may increase rent if a 30day notice is given. Repairs related to the habitability of a rental are the responsibility of the landlord. This includes repairs such as plumbing, weatherproofing, heating and electricity. It does not include problems caused by the renter such as vermin infestation caused by careless housekeeping. Landlords might not always be required to fix minor repairs. The lease agreement usually stipulates whether these repairs need to be made along with building codes. First submit a repair request to the landlord. If the repair is not made within a reasonable time (30 days in California) a renter can repair and deduct the cost from the next month’s rent. Deductions require proof of repairs along with evidence such as photographs of whatever needed to be repaired. It can only be as much as the cost of one month’s rent and can be done twice in one year.

Signing a lease and taking care of the deposit Repairs After finding the right place, it’s time to sign the lease. The lease is a contract between a tenant and landlord and the terms of the rental agreement. Most leases range from six months to one year. When looking at the lease agreement, keep an eye out for automatic rent increases. These are increases that a landlord will make if operating costs, cost of utilities or taxes on the property increase. Some leases might have automatic renewal clauses once the lease expires. Make sure no spots are left blank on the lease, and obtain a copy of it once it’s signed. Before moving in, make sure to do a walk-through with the new landlord. Rental property inspection checklists can be found and printed online. This can help get a deposit back once the lease expires. All states legally allow a landlord to collect a deposit before a tenant rents. However, every state has different laws regarding what can be legally charged for the deposit. In California, a landlord can only charge at the most for a deposit of two months of rent for an unfurnished home or apartment and three months of rent for a furnished one. When it comes time to get a deposit back from a landlord, do a final walkthrough of the rental with the landlord. Go back to the pictures and checklist from when the lease was signed.

How to raise money through a charity website Illustrate knowledge of the business industry by creating a Web page FR ANCIS R.
D E LA
CRUZ
S TA F F W R I T E R
Because of the current state of the economy, some graduating students are having a hard time finding employment. While looking for a career, students and graduates can create a charity website or start a nonprofit organization to immerse themselves in the world of business and finance. Whether raising funds to travel to Africa, increasing awareness about the prevention of AIDS or motivating people to get involved in a political or social cause, building a charity website not only helps students apply some of their skills learned in the classroom, but also adds something to their résumé that may look good for potential employers. Some graduating students can even build a charity website to send to their parents, families and friends to help with donations for future travel plans or projects. Listed below are steps to create a charity website.
Step one: Create a domain name The process starts with the creation of a domain name. Domain names should be something easy to remember, such as the name of the organization that is collecting the funds. To register the selected domain name, visit websites such as www.godaddy.com. Remember, because it’s going to be a nonprofit organization, use the toplevel domain “.org” instead of “.com.”
Step two: Select a host company The next step is to select a host company. The site www.godaddy.com can also provide Web hosting at an affordable price. However, there is a variety of discount hosting companies available such as www.justhost.com and www.hostclear.com. Hosting companies such as www.char ityadvantage.com can design a Web page, collect donations and provide information for donors. The only drawback is that it is less customizable than a personalized website.
Step three: Writing content After completing the previous steps, the meat of the project starts here: writing the content. It is extremely important the readers clearly understand the organization’s mission statement. Make sure important information is included, such as charity or organization name, the cause, what it provides and who the recipients are. It is also helpful to include whether the charity is tax deductible, the 401(c) number and any other information that may be important for donators. The history of the charity and its financial goals should also be clearly stated on the page. It is important to set a monetary goal to give future donors a specific amount to aim for.
Step four: Design the Web page Designing the Web page is the fun part. Those with technical skills may design the page themselves. However, website building services are available through most hosting sites. There are also free classes in website-building at local community colleges and their continuing education departments. To further increase the visuals for the page, consider adding photos of the beneficiaries the sponsors will be helping, those working for the organization and its volunteers. Also, the use of social media builds awareness for a nonprofit organization, according to www.mashable.com.
David J. Olender / Assistant Photo Editor
Step five: Set up collection Now that the design is finished, it’s time to set up the donation collection. The simplest way is to create a PayPal account and place the “Donate” button somewhere easily accessible on the page. Remember to make the process as straightforward as possible. It should not require users to set up an account, but they may have to give some necessary information. Don’t forget about those who may be interested in sending anonymous donations. For those donors who may be wary about submitting online payments, be sure to provide a mailing address. Once the charity website has been created, be sure to update the page often. Remember to thank the donors and keep them updated because some may consider donating again in the near future.

The Pretty Kitty: getting rid of hair ... down there AM Y EB E R S O L E A S S I S TA N T F E AT U R E S E D I T O R
Pubic hair — everyone has it. That is, unless a person has gone through some artificial means to remove it. This tantalizing topic may be awkward for some and liberating for others to talk about: To remove or not to remove, that is the question. For some, eliminating pubic hair is just a matter of aesthetics or cleanliness. But for others, having pubic hair can be like a political statement; as if stating whether they are a republican or democrat, a conservative or hippie. Removing the hair down there is often thought to be more prevalent among the female population. Some argue against it, saying women who wax are brainwashed into attempting to live up to a set of standards where they must strive to become younger or smoother. Others may say they remove it for health reasons, because it’s more sanitary. And, of course, there are those who think the hair in this region is like a compass, leading in the right direction toward making them sexier or more mature, depending on whether they pluck, plow or just let it grow. Regardless, hair is hard to ignore. A waxing boutique called The Pretty Kitty is one place that provides steady answers to the hair issue: Wax it.
Does it hurt? Yes. Come on — hair removal isn’t a painless process. But with so many women who are waxing, it must be at least somewhat tolerable. “Keep in mind that the first time is normally the worst,” another esthetician at The Pretty Kitty, Lisa Walker, said. “You are going to notice a considerable difference in the pain, and the reason is that the first time, especially if you have been shaving or you have never been waxed before, your hair is going to be quite coarse, so you definitely feel it more when we pull the hair out.” But after a couple of times, Walker suggests that the pain decreases. “The next time your hair grows back, you actually have new hair,” Walker said. “You’ll notice that it is a lot thinner, softer and some people actually notice less hair over time.” Because the estheticians are well-trained and can practice thousands of wax jobs a year, they are able to do the job quickly, efficiently and with as little pain and discomfort as possible. “Honestly, most of my clients, after they have been waxed, say that it’s not as bad as what they imagined it would be,” Walker said. “Once they come here, they have had a better experience than they have had at any other place.”
What to watch for
Specializing in Brazilian waxing, The Pretty Kitty’s estheticians are able to remove pubic hair within 10 to 15 minutes. They sometimes do 20 to 30 waxes a day, which contributes to increased expertise and experience. Highly attuned to the common psychological and physical discomfort of removing pubic hair, this place strives to provide the utmost comfort for its customers. Tricia Hetherington opened the first one in Pacific Beach a few years ago. Upon entry, customers were offered wine, escorted into a warm, comfy, dimly lit room where Hetherington herself would wax each customer’s pubic hair. After its success in Pacific Beach, Hetherington has since expanded The Pretty Kitty to include two other locations, one in Chula Vista and another in Las Vegas.
The Pretty Kitty stands strong about avoiding any type of wax stick double-dipping, as it can possibly pass sexually transmitted diseases and infections. “There was actually an outbreak (from double-dipping) in Santa Barbara,” Andersen said. “They had the herpes virus in the waxing pot and they were just putting it on girls, and there was a horrible breakout of the virus.” According to Andersen and Walker, many people can get their esthetician license without taking any special courses an Brazilian waxing. They mentioned horror stories about women who went to non-specialized waxing salons who spent more than two hours getting a Brazilian wax. They also mentioned other stories where an unskilled esthetician used the wrong wax or where stitches had to be sewn to reattach a ripped off vulval lip. The Pretty Kitty primarily performs Brazilian waxes, so customers know these types of situations won’t happen with its estheticians.
Why people wax
When to wax
There are a variety of reasons for why people wax. “I would say that everyone has a different appeal,” esthetician at The Pretty Kitty Morgan Andersen said. “Some people do it for sanitation reasons. I have a lot of clients that surf (who) do it for cleanliness reasons. It actually helps if you get constant bladder infections and yeast infections.” Whether for aesthetic or practical purposes, waxing is a method that stalls hair growth for a longer duration when compared to shaving. Proponents of shaving can’t deny that it often has to occur on a somewhat daily basis to keep hair invisible. “If you’re waxing consistently, usually after the third or fourth (time), you have two to three weeks with minimal to no hair growth,” Andersen said. “If you are shaving, you are doing it every day and irritating the area. And it doesn’t last that long.”
It is recommended that people don’t shave or remove pubic hair at least three to four weeks before waxing. The hair has to be at least 1 / 4 of an inch.
The Pretty Kitty
Preparation Avoid caffeine and take Ibuprofen one hour before the wax to reduce the pain. “Caffeine constricts the blood levels and hair follicles, so it’s holding onto the hair tighter,” Andersen said. “If I drink coffee before, I can literally feel each individual hair being removed.” If especially nervous about pain, The Pretty Kitty sells a numbing gel to apply about an hour before the wax. Being premenstrual is not the best time to wax because of an increase in sensitivity. Do not tan before or after waxing as recently tanned skin can peel off during wax-

ing and the risk of getting burnt increases if tanning post-wax.
Aftercare After waxing, hair should stay smooth for at least two to three weeks. Customers are encouraged to avoid shaving between appointments. “Waxing slows down and reduces hair growth,” The Pretty Kitty brochure states. “Shaving just one time in between will negate all that is gained from waxing and can further irritate follicles, which can cause ingrown hair.” Hydrocortisone cream helps if skin becomes irritated or if tiny bumps become visible. To avoid ingrown hairs, shower exfoliation fights off the cellular buildup that traps hair. “Exfoliating is probably the most important thing,” Andersen said. “Because, like I said, the hair grows back finer and softer, so it might have a hard time coming through the follicle if there’s any dirt or debris.” Andersen and Walker also suggest avoiding exfoliating too intensely right away because the skin is sensitive. Recently waxed customers should also avoid the ocean or swimming for two to three days.
Further information The Pretty Kitty also provides European or express facials as well as a variety of other waxing services for the face, legs, arms, buttocks or abdomen. Costs range from $10 for the lip, chin or face sides to $60 for a full leg. The price of a Brazilian is $45, but first-timers receive $10 off. Packages can also be purchased for four Brazilians at the price of $160. Walk-ins are welcome, but making an appointment is encouraged to avoid the anticipation of waiting. For contact information and operating hours, visit www.theprettykittySD.com.
In the end, hair always grows back. The choice remains about what is best fit for each personality whether waxing, shaving, sugaring, getting laser treatment or staying natural and letting it grow. Trends fluctuate, bodies change, identities adapt, new perspectives emerge and somewhere beneath all this shifting, there are people deciding what it means to them to have hair or no hair down there.

Gwynn finds another ace up his sleeve Addison Reed shined as SDSU’s Friday night pitcher F E L I N A T A M BA KO S S TA F F W R I T E R

Life after Stephen Strasburg has been easier, thanks to Addison Reed and his 7-1 record.
Headline2
After a tough weekend homestand, the San Diego State baseball team (22-23) will get the boost of an “Addy” start tomorrow night. Junior pitcher Addison Reed, or “Addy” as head coach Tony Gwynn calls him, has stepped up as SDSU’s go-to guy this season, even though pitching wasn’t in the initial plan for the Aztecs’ ace. “I didn’t pick up Addy as a pitcher; I picked him up as our first baseman,” Gwynn said. “But he proved that he can do it.” In Reed’s first semester training with SDSU, he discovered his knees weren’t up for the challenge of batting and running on a collegiate level. “Over that Christmas break I had MRIs done, and that’s when they found out they were torn,” Reed said of his knees. “So when I got back, they didn’t want me to hit, because they wanted to eliminate as much running as they could. “Pitching was my backup thing. I didn’t start pitching until my
senior year of high school, but I started working on it and never swung a bat again.” Even though he may have been a late bloomer, the closer-turnedstarter gives the Aztecs quite the advantage when he takes the mound. He’s faced 199 batters this season, has struck out 68 of them and has left the opposition with a batting average of .176. Reed began his pitching career as a closer, but once the famous ace Stephen Strasburg left SDSU for a chance in the major leagues, the Friday night starting spot was left vacant. “Addy used to watch and learn from Strassy (Strasburg), and now (freshman pitcher Bryan) Crabb’s doing the same thing: learning from Addy,” Gwynn said earlier this season. “It’s good to have these guys learn from each other.
Addy’s going to settle in and really surprise some people this year.” In his first season as a starter, Reed has settled in. He has started eight games this season, winning seven. He pitched a season low of four innings in his only loss, and since coming back from a finger injury last month, he’s yet to lose a game. “I’m happy where I’m at right now,” Reed said. “I feel comfortable on the mound.” His 7-1 record tops every other starter on the Aztec staff, and he also leads the team with a 1.88 ERA and two complete games. This week, he was given his third Mountain West Conference Pitcher of the Week award, and at the start of this year he was named an All-American. Reed will get his next start tomorrow, when SDSU faces MWC rival Air Force.
AT A GLANCE WHEN: 6 p.m., tomorrow WHERE: Tony Gwynn Stadium
VS.
WHY TO WATCH: Associated Students will be hosting a pre-game tailgate celebration including food, games and free T-shirts to the first 1,000 students in attendance. Following the festivities, Addison Reed will get his ninth start of the season and try to help the Aztecs take an important win.

The San Diego State football and basketball teams are both in their respective offseasons, but there are still plenty of sports going on at Montezuma Mesa. Check out some this week’s headlines at SDSU: B e a s l e y p i c k s up anot h e r a wa rd For the eighth time this season, softball junior pitcher Samantha Beasley was named the Mountain West Conference Pitcher of the Week. In the Aztecs’ two 3-0 wins against UNLV last weekend, Beasley recorded two shutouts, gave up just six hits and struck out 17 batters. This season, Beasley owns a 24-7 record with a 0.81 earned run average.

POPE’S DOCTRINE
A sports writer bids farewell to sports writing
I
’m pretty good at complaining about, well, pretty much everything. In fact, I’ve made a fairly notable run at this paper doing just that every Thursday on The Back Page. But for once, I’m not writing about video games, sorority girls or my undying love for Aaron Rodgers. During my time at this newspaper, I’ve written dozens of stories no one ever read and obsessed about post-game videos that no one cared about. I woke up before sunrise on countless mornings to finish articles about teams that hated me and missed half of my precious NFL Sundays working production. But as I get ready to graduate this month and leave this paper behind, it’s all the more clear to me that this was the greatest job I will have ever had. I got paid to watch and write about sports. Let me take you back to a seemingly random day in late 2006: my freshman year at San Diego State. I was a pre-business major and had just failed yet another Stats 119 test. I hated all my classes and they hated me. I was sitting in class, perusing that day’s The Daily Aztec (which may or may not have something to do with why I was getting such terrible grades) when I saw an ad: “Ever dreamed of being a sports writer?” Why yes, yes I have. “The Daily Aztec is hiring. Call Sports Editor Devin Kunysz.” I did. And at the beginning of my second college semester I was covering the Aztec water polo team and set out to switch my major to journalism. Of course it didn’t take me long to realize I hated all those classes too — well, not so much the classes, but the hyper-annoying feminists and pseudo-activists taking the classes — so a few months later, I became an English major, where all my classmates sit quietly and avoid eye contact at all costs — my kind of people. Flash forward a year and a half, the beginning of my junior year, when I’ve been hired as Assistant Sports Editor. Who hired me? Some prick from Nor Cal who was still in high school when I started writing for the DA, yet somehow he was now my boss. His name was
D AV I D P O P E A S S I S TA N T S P O R T S E D I T O R
Edward Lewis. He was socially deficient, nerdy and absolutely insufferable to work with. He ended up becoming the best friend I made in my time at SDSU. But I didn’t respond to Devin’s ad to make friends. I did it because I really, truly, sincerely love sports. And contrary to the belief of that oversized tank top and backwardstrucker-hat-wearing dude in your communications class, this has been a great four years of sports on Montezuma Mesa. As a writer, I covered the women’s basketball team win a Mountain West Conference regularseason championship, a tournament championship and three NCAA Tournament games all in the span of two years. As a fan, I saw the men’s basketball team relegated to the NIT for three years until I finally got to watch them cut down the nets in person at the MWC Tournament in Las Vegas. As for Aztec football, I won’t lie to you; there aren’t many happy memories in the past four years of that program. The trip to UCLA this year with Edward and Photo Editor Glenn Connelly (the third member of our little posse) was pretty fun, but that’s about it. Still, the football team is on its way up. When head coach Brady Hoke has us competing for a MWC title and a BCS birth, I’ll get to say I was on campus at the lowest point in program history. That’s worth something, right? Well, either way, at least I got to sit in the Rose Bowl press box once. It’s been real, SDSU. It remains to be seen if I ever get a real job writing about sports again, but if not, as I said, this was the greatest job I have ever had and I am unimaginably lucky to have had it as long as I did.

Another ‘Juliet’ love tale This modern tale of true love is not based on the famous play H UI LING T H A M S TA F F W R I T E R
Despite the title, rest assured that “Letters to Juliet” is not a remake of the classic tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet. It does, however, feature romantic love scenes. Directed by Gar y Winick, “Letters to Juliet” takes audiences on a journey to find true love. Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), a fact checker for The New Yorker, is in Verona, Italy for her pre-wedding honeymoon with fiancé Victor (Gael Garcia Bernal). Sophie discovers a letter written 50 years previously when she spends time helping the Secretaries of Juliet respond to heartbroken letters left by women at Casa di Giulietta, Juliet’s house. Sophie decides to write a response to the letter, even though it was composed such a long time ago. That’s when everything starts to change for her. After receiving Sophie’s letter in reply, Claire, (Vanessa Redgrave), decides to travel back to Italy after 50 years in search of her true love, Lorenzo. Accompanied by her
grandson, Charlie (Christopher Egan from “Eragon”), the two end up meeting Sophie and allow her to come along on their journey. However, finding true love after so many years might not be as easy as it sounds. With no clue about where he lives and only his name to go by, the threesome inevitably embark on a seemingly never-ending journey in search for the right Lorenzo.
Not only does this romantic comedy feature the talents of many actors and actresses, it also showcases the beautiful Italian countryside.
Charlie supplies most of the comedy in “Letters to Juliet.” Even though he is willing to accompany his grandmother on this journey, he disagrees with the entire idea. He is portrayed as the sarcastic, “I don’t believe in true love” type, committed to remaining realistic
and constantly trying to persuade his grandmother to give up. His personality creates tension with Sophie, as she believes in true love and destiny. In the film, she bonds well with Claire because she supports her and continually assures her she will do whatever it takes to help find Lorenzo. Charlie and Sophie’s relationship begins to take a different turn as the journey continues. As they are given the opportunity to spend more time together, Sophie helps Charlie believe it is possible to find his grandmother’s true love. Not only does this romantic comedy feature the talents of many actors and actresses, it also showcases the beautiful Italian countryside, including sweeping shots of vineyards, plantations and communities. The scenery captured might end up convincing audiences to visit the country after watching the film. To catch the amazing sights of Italy and find out how the journey ends, be sure to catch “Letters to Juliet” opening in theaters on May 14.

Rogue Wave rolls into Belly Up Tavern for show S A N DY C H A S E S TA F F W R I T E R
The indie rockers of Rogue Wave have experienced a slow but steady build during the length of their careers, beginning with front man Zach Rogue’s sudden unemployment in the dot-com bust and continuing, notwithstanding twists and turns, to today. This current “wave” of success has carried the band to its winter / spring headlining tour, which stopped at local 21 and older hot spot Belly Up Tavern last Tuesday night. Despite the weeknight show, the five-piece outfit played to a sold-out crowd, a powerful testament to this band’s vigorous performances. Acoustic crooner JBM opened up the show. The crowd was already slightly sedated, so the man behind the music, Jesse Marchant, just could not grab the crowd’s attention away from friends and the bar. Quite frankly, it was hard to hear him because of the din. What was heard did not sound bad by any stretch of the imagination; it felt like either the timing was off or JBM would do better opening for someone equally slow-paced and groovy, such as Ray LaMontagne. Next on the stage was Man / Miracle, a quartet also from Rogue Wave’s current abode, Oakland. This band was livelier, but still couldn’t quite hit the mark to turn the tide of apathy in the audience. The lead vocalist in this band, Dylan Travis, sounded like he listened to a lot of Oingo Boingo and Tears for Fears as a kid, which did not go unnoticed by the 20 and 30 year olds in the crowd. Those who enjoy indie rock acts with dulcet harmonies such as Stellastarr or Modest Mouse will really dig these guys. A quick changeover of the stage later (drum set placed stage right rather than the back? Rock on!), Rogue Wave walked onstage to prove how rebellious it truly is.
Stefan Walters / Staff Photographer
What followed was a strong set list that started with a whimper and ended with a bang. Rogue Wave began with a snippet from the lovely song “All That Remains” from its new album “Permalight,” an odd but skillful mix of electro-influenced rock / pop and bittersweet acoustic ballads. This album is the first to come after the tragic death of former bassist Evan Farrell, which may explain the
album’s dual personality. All of its best and most well-known tracks were performed, from “Eyes” to the current single “Solitary Gun,” to its biggest hit, “Lake Michigan.” To give the highly acclaimed tune even greater due, the band preceded the song with a jam session lasting several minutes. The audience was more than happy to oblige, clapping and cheering along until the first notes
of “Lake Michigan” rang out with mountainous applause not far behind. Overall, this band has gracefully taken the loss of a friend and former bandmate, transformed those emotions into a great album and transferred that energy right to its fans.

Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers steal the show

SA RA H GR I E C O MANAGING EDITOR
Normally folk and rock music do not go well together, but last week at Belly Up Tavern, the two went hand-in-hand. Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers, a northeastern band with a loyal following, opened for tour headliner NeedToBreathe. While both bands have very different sounds, they transitioned well and provided the crowd with a much-needed pick-meup. Despite the workweek being only hours away, the Sunday night show was packed with fans wishing to end their weekends on a good note. Early in the evening, Kellogg and his crew walked onstage with a swagger that only comes with the experience of performing for years. But instead of starting with an upbeat tune from its latest album, the Sixers began with its older, soulful tune “Girlfriend as Pretty as You.” It kept the somber mood going with the next song, but once finished Kellogg spoke to the crowd in his easygoing way, giving everyone a feeling of euphoria. After a few jokes about San Diego’s perfect weather, the Sixers went on to salute the troops with the song “4th of July.” The band then danced its way through the next two songs from its newest album, “The Bear,” and guitarist Sam Getz ripped a guitar solo so powerful the rest of the band could do nothing but look at him in awe. Kellogg then took back the reins with his autobiographical tune, “Satisfied Man.” The audience stood still as he sang about significant moments from his life while
simultaneously playing the harmonica and guitar. Kellogg’s likability and talent makes it easy to understand why he is the front man — he is able to easily switch from performing with his bandmates to crooning away a solo. The last song the Sixers performed was “Days,” one of its oldest tunes. Kellogg incorporated a few cover lines during the bridge, including homage to Taylor Swift and Enrique Iglesias. After a round of applause, Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers exited the stage victorious and left the crowd wanting more. However, the audience was soon greeted by the guitar-heavy NeedToBreathe. Compared to Kellogg and his expressive voice, lead singer William Rinehart came on a little too weak vocally and too strong with his various guitars. Although Rinehart’s voice wasn’t fully appreciated, the rest of the music permeated the venue and invited audience members to dance along. After seeing these two drastically different bands at Belly Up Tavern, it’s hard to imagine a bad show there. The venue is a rare combination of an East Coast dive with a West Coast twist. The layout provides excellent acoustics and allows the audience to see from just about anywhere in the large room, which represents the hull of an old ship. This 21 and older venue also has two main bars, one of which has a great white shark replica hanging from the ceiling. Because the capacity for the building is less than 1,700 people, it’s the perfect place to see lesser-known bands such as Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers and NeedToBreathe.

‘American Idol’ singer proves he can still work a crowd Daughtry gives hardcore rock performance with special guest Lifehouse H UI LING T H A M S TA F F W R I T E R
Greeted with screaming fans as its Spring Tour stopped in San Diego, Daughtry took center stage on Saturday night at the Sports Arena. Included in the lineup were also bands Cavo and Lifehouse. Led by former “American Idol” contestant Chris Daughtry as lead vocalist, along with Joey Barnes on drums, Josh Paul on bass, Josh Steely on guitar and Brian Craddock on guitar, the band is on tour to promote its second album, “Leave This Town,” which was released last July. The band kicked off its performance loud and pumping. Its hardcore rock show gave fans something to scream about all through the night. Daughtry performed hit songs such as “Feels Like Tonight,” “Home” and “No Surprise,” which the crowd sang aloud together with his deep, soulful voice. Daughtry literally kept fans out of their seats as the show’s energy kept getting stronger as the night went on. Daughtry would sometimes use a loudspeaker to make his voice even louder as he screamed the lyrics toward the crowd. Besides performing its own songs, the band also mixed up the atmosphere by performing covers of Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight” and Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell.” Special guest Lifehouse really entertained the crowd. Led by vocalist and guitarist Jason Wade, along with bassist Bryce Soderberg, guitarist Ben Carey and drummer Rick Woolstenhulme Jr., the Los Angeles-based band was welcomed by eager fans as it took the stage.
Even though Lifehouse spent most of its time performing songs from its latest album, “Smoke & Mirrors,” the band also pleased the crowd by performing a few of its older hits, such as “Hanging By A Moment,” “Wherever You Will Go” and “First Time.” Lifehouse was able to keep the crowd excited and singing along. Fans of the band also had the opportunity to see bassist Soderberg sing lead for the first time for the song “Wrecking Ball.” Wade even spent some time offstage throughout one of the songs. He took the music to the fans as he walked up the stairs and in between rows to greet fans while still singing to them.
Daughtry literally kept fans out of their seats as the show’s energy kept getting stronger as the night went on. The opening band for the night’s performance was Cavo. The rock band hails from St. Louis and consists of vocalist Casey Walker, bassist Brian Smith, guitarist Chris Hobbs and drummer Chad La Roy. Cavo warmed up the crowd with songs from its debut album “Bright Nights * Dark Days,” such as “Champagne,” “Ghost” and “Blame,” as well as “Let It Go,” which is also featured in the soundtrack from “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” With their powerful vocals and energetic rock performances, Cavo, Lifehouse and Daughtry did not disappoint the crowd as they managed to pull off another great live performance.

BETWEEN THE COVERS
Acclaimed author Chuck Palahniuk ‘tells all’ about new book A L L I E D AU G H E R T Y E N T E R TA I N M E N T E D I T O R
In a Chuck Palahniuk book, the ending is everything. His newest novel “Tell-All” is no exception. Narrated by life-shaper and background-dweller Hazie Coogan, this new tale follows Katharine Kenton, an aging actress and veteran of multiple marriages, in a homage to old Hollywood. In this manner, the entire novel has the appearance of a gossip column, highlighting important names and words with bold font. Instead of being divided into chapters, “Tell-All” is sectioned into scenes and acts, again glorifying the world of bright lights and red carpets. If that’s not enough to hold the reader’s interest, the novel opens with the lines, “Boy meets girl. Boy gets girl. Boy kills girl?” For a Palahniuk book, nothing else would do. “Tell-All” is Palahniuk’s 11th fiction novel, following successes such as “Fight Club,” “Choke” and “Invisible Monsters.” It hit the shelves Tuesday and follows the vintage, twisted plotlines that fans of Palahniuk have come to love and expect. “Tell-All” doesn’t cease to captivate while it dips into subjects most might find taboo. Recently, The Daily Aztec was able to interview the author.
The Daily Aztec: How do you come up with the inspiration for your books? Chuck Pa l a h n i u k : The actual ideas come from people that I’m
around, usually strangers. They’ll say things that will suddenly strike me as profound. I have to find some way to collect them, to save them. But the ideas themselves have to resonate with something in my own mind … it’s really that private, secret part of me looking for somebody else to say the things that I can’t quite bring myself to say, but that I recognize in myself.
Courtesy of Double Day Publishers
DA : What is your writing process like? CP: Usually it’s finding one of these things to say, this really profound insight, and then taking that insight to other people and bouncing it off of them and seeing whether or not it resonates, whether they respond to it.
Whether that insight generates an anecdote from their own life. In that way I flush out these insights that I have. I find ways to illustrate them using incidents from the lives of a lot of people.
DA : Do you have a target audience you try to connect with using these insights? CP: No, I just do it for me. I’m looking for really effective ways to put it together in my own mind. And beyond that I’ll present it to a group of friends on Thursday night at my writer’s workshop, where I meet with the same friends who’ve been meeting together since 1990. I’ll present it to them and see if it has the same kind of spontaneous effect I was hoping it would. That’s really the litmus test. DA : Your books are about some nontraditional topics that can sometimes be uncomfortable for readers. Do your friends and family come to expect this by now, or are they still surprised when reading your books? CP: They come to my books with a kind of expectation that there is going to be something challenging there. But they’re never as shocked as they might be otherwise. I think in a way it tempers with their reaction. They’re not as shocked and they enjoy it more. The shock doesn’t get in the way of the humor. I’ve trained them for my sense of humor so now when they read things that I intend as funny, instead of being shocked by the superficial circumstances, they recognize the humor.
DA : What is your favorite book that you have written? CP: “Pygmy” was a lot of fun. The idea of inventing a language as I wrote was a blast. You got to throw away pretty much all the rules that had been taught over the years, which is a lot of fun. DA : If you could be a character from any of your books, who would you be? CP: I would be Pygmy. Pygmy is a character that everyone thinks they understand, but everyone completely misreads him. Pygmy is an outcast (but) still fights for the people around him. He still aspires to connect and be friends. DA : Did you intentionally put a bit of yourself in Pygmy when you created him? CP: I think no matter what you do, whether you’re painting a picture or singing a song, that that action is its own diary. It can’t help but be an expression of self, an aspect of self. Whether it’s through the choice of what you are doing or the way you’re exercising it. Even the way you drive. Everything is a self-expression. DA : Do you feel your books aren’t justified when aspects are changed in the movie versions of them? CP: You know, I really don’t have that kind of attachment to the results, in a way. People have given me their stories and I’ve strung those together to make a
larger story, and I’ve changed their stories to make them better together for the effect I’m after. So I can’t really complain about movie makers who change the story even further to make them better. All of us are just trying to execute something … there’s nothing malicious about it.
DA : When writing your books, do you ever envision them being turned into movies? CP: No, not really. I think there’s something books do very well that movies just are not permitted to do. It’s the nature of the subject: Movies have to be presented before a large group of people, and books have a real private nature. Books can … depict what the movie cannot touch. DA : Considering your new book “Tell-All” is your most recent, do you consider it your best work so far? CP: To some extent it is. But it … is the best that I can do. But the book always lands with the reader. There are books that I don’t consider to be my best books but they are somebody’s favorite book. And to them, those books are my best books. So in a way, it doesn’t matter whether “Tell-All” is my best book or my favorite. For somebody, it will be my best book and their favorite.
ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE
Psychedelia and rock ‘n’ roll give Shakespeare’s play a new look D R E W SCOGGINS S TA F F W R I T E R
From the second the audience members took their seats it was clear it was going to be William Shakespeare like they had never seen it. With a live band providing the musical backdrop and a giant multi-colored moon hanging in the background, the audience was quickly transported to a psychedelic vision of the ‘60s and Shakespeare was nearly forgotten. Because of brilliant performances by the cast and the fantastic composition by Thomas Hodges, the audience was entirely immersed in the action and folly of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” All elements of the production meshed together beautifully and provided ample opportunity to get past Shakespeare’s lan-
guage and instead focus on the characters’ outlandish behavior onstage. Every aspect of the play worked smoothly, from the fairies’ beautifully bizarre and slightly risqué costumes to the lighting and set design itself. The strongest part of the play was the music driving it. Although there were a few vocal hiccups early on, the songs progressively got smoother as the play continued and became an integral part of the plot structure. The way Shakespeare’s words were incorporated into the melodies of the songs was incredibly fascinating. Overall the play was a thoroughly entertaining spectacle and easily the most engaging way to appreciate Shakespeare.

DAILY HOROSCOPE
HUMOR: POPE’S DOCTRINE
Sound financial decision-making
W
ith my final column next week, I’ve been trying to reflect on all the great things that have happened for me in the past four years. But somehow, shockingly, I keep coming back to all the stupid stuff I’ve done. You see, my life is really just one questionable decision after another. For instance, as an English major, I had to take three semesters of a specific language course. I chose American Sign Language. Why? Because once I saw a deaf girl at the mall who was really hot. I figured if I learned ASL, I would be able to romance any number of attractive deaf girls.
By the way, the sound you just heard was my father’s head exploding out of pure rage as he read the last few paragraphs. In my mind, this was solid reasoning. But then I realized that I speak English pretty well; very well, in fact. And Englishspeaking women are rarely charmed by me. In the best-case scenario, I could become mediocre at carrying a conversation in sign language after a year and a half. The closest I ever came was asking out a girl in my ASL 2 class publicly via a column I wrote last semester. She seemed

flattered, but the violent e-mail threats from her boyfriend made that an ill-fated endeavor. Some of my questionable decisions have worked out well, though. As most of you know, a semester parking pass costs $135 at this school. That’s pretty steep, especially considering I skate to school half the time anyway. A parking ticket will put you back exactly $40, and nine out of 10 times you park (if you know where to do so) without a valid pass, you’ll get off free. So, allow me to get mathematical for a moment. If you occasionally park on campus throughout the semester and end up getting three tickets or fewer (meaning you racked up a max of $120), you made a very wise economic decision and saved $15 by not buying a parking pass. Now if you end up with four tickets, don’t fret, you gambled and lost and you’re out an extra $35. Nothing to be ashamed of. However, if you go beyond four tickets, well you’re just an idiot and you deserve to be putting those meter-maids’ kids through college. I’m sorry to say that last week I did get my third ticket of the semester, which means I’ll be pretty much exclusively skating to school for the remaining two weeks. I’m determined to ensure it was a wise financial decision. By the way, the sound you just heard was my father’s head exploding out of pure rage as he read the last few paragraphs. Speaking of things I’ve done to horribly disappoint my parents, I figured I should probably start deleting (or at least untagging) any pictures on Facebook that may deter any potential
future employers. Not only did this take up the better part of my Sunday, but it was quite the trip down memory lane of all my embarrassing moments. If your self-esteem is too high and you really want to bring yourself down a few notches, I highly recommend looking at pictures of you at the various theme parties from your college career. Whether it be an “‘80s Night”, “Party Like A Rockstar” or just a night you inexplicably wore a cape, it’s always a low point. Also, apparently I wore the same green Active T-shirt on St. Patrick’s Day in 2008 as I did in 2010. Though that wasn’t nearly as bad as the time last year when I was going through my eighth grade yearbook and noticed I was wearing the same shirt that I was photographed in on picture day seven years ago. In no way is that depressing. Also totally not depressing: the fact that the shirt fit just as well that day as it did in the picture. So I may still have the body of a 12-year-old boy when I graduate college in two weeks, but at least I managed to take a fair share of pictures with some exceptionally attractive girls in my time at this school. Those pictures will not be untagged. I’m banking on employers respecting that sort of thing … that and extensive Mario Kart knowledge.
