Sexual assault may leave many with unanswered questions, but two San Diego State students are helping to provide answers. Because they both know what it feels like to be a victim of sexual assault, political science senior Breanna Piper, and television, film and new media production alumna Morgan Jenkins co-founded the Sorority Outreach and Support organization at SDSU this semester. The organization’s purpose is to focus on the prevention of sexual assault and domestic violence and to educate sororities about the proper ways of handling victims. According to the SDSU Police Department’s internal reports, a total of 40 forcible sex offenses were reported to the department between 2006 and 2008. Two years ago in the Sigma Pi fraternity, Piper was beaten and raped by her ex-boyfriend, who was a member of the fraternity. Piper said that although her ex-boyfriend’s roommates were in the room next door, none of them attempted to intervene during the incident. “It was very loud and they (his roommates) didn’t do anything to step in and stop what was happening — so I realized I needed to
get myself out of the situation and I escaped,” she said. Piper said there is currently a lack of resources and support for women who have been affected by domestic violence or sexual assault on campus. “We want to give those women the courage and the resources to go forward with prosecutions and to go forward with their life,” she said. Both Piper and Jenkins did not find the sufficient support they needed within their own sororities after their traumatic incidents of sexual assault, and they said they want to change these circumstances for other women. Piper said although her sorority refused to testify on her behalf during the prosecution, she was determined to go forward with the prosecution and hold the fraternity accountable for what happened to her. Piper obtained a restraining order against her exboyfriend and Sigma Pi was later expelled from campus. The reason Piper was able to go through with prosecuting is because she found support from Dr. Linda Smith in Counseling and Psychological Services, who is now one of SOS’s advisers, Piper said. Jenkins’ experience was similar to Piper’s. Jenkins was a victim of rape by intoxication on the night of her 21st
birthday in 2002 by a stranger, who was later identified as a male SDSU student. Jenkins’ sorority wanted to keep information of the incident on the “down low” as well, she said. “They were losing focus of the fact that I really needed support. I was suicidal, I was failing school, I couldn’t look people in the face … and no one knew how to deal with that properly,” Jenkins said. “I would love to go to sororities and teach them how to handle these situations.” Jenkins said she hates to tell women that the person that raped her was acquitted because she feels like it discourages them from reporting, but unfortunately that outcome occurs often. “I’m really working on changing (the) public’s perception about rape and rape by intoxication because even if you have too much to drink it’s not your fault,” she said. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, only six percent of rapists will ever spend a day in jail. Piper said that is mostly attributed to the fact that women are embarrassed and uncomfortable with coming forward about rape. According to RAINN, sexual assault is one of the most underreported crimes, with 60 percent left unreported. “It’s completely understandable because this society basically turns its back on these women,” Piper
said. “So we want to give women the courage and the strength to go forward and prosecute.” SOS will work with the district attorney — who is the head of the sexual assault unit in San Diego, the Center for Community Solutions, and the Sexual Assault Response Team, to have these institutions provide programs for the sororities in which information about the steps required for judicial prosecution and counseling services will be presented. In the next two to three weeks, SOS will start its Monday night walk-arounds, in which members of the organization will present their history and the objective goal of the organization to sororities. “We’re so excited to get started and help women because the victim is never at fault and we really need to spread that message,” Piper said. “We need to talk about this problem (because) it won’t go away until we start providing solutions and offering critical and constructive dialogue.” SOS’s first meeting will be held at 4 p.m. on Oct. 13 in the MultiCultural Center in Aztec Center.

FEELING TRUTH AT YOU
Water too scarce to invest in solar power
S
olar power has absolutely no business in Southern California at this time. The push for a more environmentally friendly energy alternative is simply going to have to wait until it is not in conflict with another very valuable resource: our water. It is about time the green rhetoric be put aside until we figure out how to deal with the current water crunch. It is great that the country is trying to be friendlier to the Earth. Actions such as recycling to reduce the amount of garbage in our landfills, driving hybrid vehicles that reduce our emissions into the atmosphere and utilizing solar energy are all needed to help preserve the beautiful planet we live on, but there are certain costs associated with solar power no one seems to be factoring into the equation. Renewable energy can sometimes demand a large amount of water. “Many of the proposed
T . J . BR O N S O N S TA F F C O L U M N I S T
solutions to the nation’s energy problems, from certain types of solar farms to biofuel refineries to cleaner coal plants, could consume billions of gallons of water every year,” according to The New York Times. The excessive amount of water needed to simply cool solar power plants is out of the question for Southern California. Given the current drought, residents are doing everything they can to conserve water. Entire counties have already gone as far as to implement limits on how much water residents can use. We need to consider the best uses of our water resources before we invest in new technologies. The use of these finite resources should be shaping the future, not just the newest trends in eco-friendliness. “The most water-efficient renewable technologies are not necessari-
ly the most economical, but water shortages could give them a competitive edge,” according to The New York Times. In an environment where a balance in the state budget is nowhere in sight without the use of an IOU system combined with severe water shortages in the southern half of the state, we can’t consider solar power as an option. This doesn’t seem to be stopping the state from allowing companies to plan construction of power plants that we won’t even be able to use. In California, there are talks of constructing 35 large-scale solar projects. With the estimated 1.3 billion gallons of water it would take to cool the solar power plants each year, the options are slim for construction. Companies that build solar panels, such as Abengoa Solar and NextEra Energy Resources, are planning to begin construction on power plants in the Mojave Desert and around Bakersfield. Because water is scarce in these areas, these companies are
pressing the state legislature to pass a bill that would allow them to tap freshwater wells in order to cool the plants. With slowing groundwater recharge rates that can’t keep up with regular water use by cities, wells wouldn’t be able to sustain the overwhelming amount of water solar power plants would require to simply cool it. “By allowing projects to use fresh water, the bill would remove any incentives that developers have to use technologies that minimize water use,” Terry O’Brien, deputy director for the California Energy Commission, said. The only way the solar power plants could be plausible is to construct them off of the coast where constant ocean water could be running through them for cooling. By the time all of the trouble has been gone through to build them out in the water, they might as well be tidal generators. Now is not the time to implement solutions to problems that
we had years ago, especially when they worsen the problems we have now. Solar power would be a wonderful idea if the state had the water to support the effort. I would much rather see a practical solution to problems we are having right now, such as water desalination to help with shortages and a practical way to balance the disastrous state budget. We need long-term solutions that take into account all of our finite resources, not just a few.

FAIR AND BALANCED
Solution to budget cuts is to cut furlough days
Courtesy of ISSE
Various student groups have expressed their anger and frustration about recent budget cuts to higher education. Along with increased fees, students are given fewer class hours because of state-mandated furlough days.
T
he budget cuts are here to stay. While student protests, walkouts and newspaper columns denouncing reductions in higher education are all admirable, in the end they can’t simply invent money the state does not have. There is a way to mitigate the harmful effects on our education, an option that no one has either thought of or is too afraid to bring up: putting an end to furlough days. If our professors either refused to take their furlough days or were forbidden to take lecture days off, the impact of this crisis would be diminished greatly. Last July, California faced a $26 billion budget deficit. Raising taxes earlier in the year did not cover the state’s expenses, so the only available option, unless we were fine with California continuing to pay with IOU’s, was to cut spending. Cuts were made throughout the budget, with the
T U C K E R W INCELE S TA F F C O L U M N I S T
CSU system losing $584 million in funding. In response, the California Faculty Association — the union that represents professors and lecturers — endorsed a plan to have all its members take off two days a month. Not having to pay 47,000 people several days each year saved the CSU system $275 million and ensured that the rest of the cuts wouldn’t cripple the system. What I don’t understand is why the teachers can’t work those days. The state’s economy is abysmal. The unemployment rate was 12.2 percent in August, well above the national average. More people are leaving the state than entering and everyone is suffering. Teachers should not be sheltered from the harsh realities of the economy when millions of ordinary citizens are forced to make
sacrifices. If the members of the CFA had any decency, they should accept the pay cut and continue working the same hours. Compared to the private sector, teachers have it easy. Once tenure is reached, they have unrivaled job security, generous benefits and a comparatively light work schedule. It’s about time that their salaries and benefits are indexed to the level of the taxpayers who fund the education system. Even if you disagree with this harsh assessment of the teaching profession and are unwilling to place the blame on the entire union, we could at least single out teachers who take off lecture days. The exact days taken off are entirely up to the professor, and judging by the emptiness of campus on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I’m not even sure there are many who should even be considered full time employees. With all this free time it is difficult to defend the decision to cancel the
precious few hours of lecture we, as students, are paying for. I had always thought that people were drawn to teaching to help out the next generation and make an impact. Yet for the union members to not do everything in their power to alleviate the suffering felt by students across the state smacks of naked self-interest at the expense of those the union is supposedly helping. All this isn’t to say I’m some kind of lecture-loving nerd who thinks every minute of every lecture is valuable. In fact, I’ve been taking my own personal furlough days since freshman year. But there comes a point when the reduction in instruction hours really hurts the quality of our education. Between basically not doing anything the first or last two weeks of class, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, and the almost guaranteed day or two a semester that class is cancelled for whatever reason, our education is subpar in
terms of instruction hours. Now add to this mess two days a month for furloughs and we’re really wasting our tuition money if a quality education is what we’re after. Instead of wasting energy protesting and marching, students would be better served by pressuring the CFA to end furloughs that interfere with our education. Students and taxpayers have already shouldered much of the burden — it’s high time our teachers joined in.

AGAINST ALL ODDS
Church fails to resolve sexual abuse cases
MCT Campus
The Catholic Church fails to address the issue of sexual abuse of children by priests. The church refuses to reveal number of cases.
I
t’s hard to have faith in a justice system that seems to ignore the cries for help coming from hundreds of churchgoers who claim they were the victims of sexual assault during their youth. Sexual abuse of minors in the church has gone on too long and without due punishment. It’s time we start talking about the issue and push for reform of how these cases are handled; that way dangerous priests can be rooted
ASHLIE R ODRIGUEZ S TA F F C O L U M N I S T
out before they turn more children into victims. When he was a young boy at a Roman Catholic-run institute for the deaf, Alessandro Vantini said, priests sodomized him so relentlessly he came to feel “as if I were dead,” reported www.huffingtonpost .com. “You couldn’t tell your parents because the priests would beat
you,” Vantini said to reporters. Vantini suffered depression until he was 30, Vantini. Now 59 years old, decided to go public this year. He was joined by countless other youth who were also forced to perform sex acts with priests. Almost nothing will be done for Vantini. His claim will take years to investigate and will be bogged down in the system until it’s forgotten — just like the hundreds of others who will never receive the justice they deserve.
The Catholic Church refuses to release the total number of sexual abuse cases victims have brought against them — possibly for fear of public outcry. While we can assume they’re in the hundreds, it’s hard to estimate with so many victims scared to go public. Just last year, the U.S. Roman Catholic church paid out $436 million for sex abuse cases involving clergy members, comparable with the $526 million paid in 2007, according to International News. A report, commissioned by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, showed that 803 new allegations of abuse were lodged last year, a sharp increase from the 692 in 2007. Two-thirds of the victims were male, and more than half were younger than age 18. And this is only in the U.S. Published last May, the report by Judge Sean Ryan revealed that beatings and humiliation by nuns and priests were common. A nine-year investigation found that Catholic priests and nuns terrorized thousands of boys and girls for decades, while government inspectors failed to stop the abuse. The rampant sexual abuse of minors is a worldwide phenomenon on the rise, yet we’re hearing nothing about it in the media and our political leaders aren’t doing anything about it. What’s worse, the public doesn’t seem to care — which is exactly why the problem isn’t being handled. Hidden in the murk of headlines was the case of Raymond Lahey, a 69-year-old Roman Catholic bishop in Canada, who was caught with child pornography on his computer last week. This same man recently oversaw a lawsuit brought by more than 12 victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. For a child pornography viewer to be in charge of serving justice to pedophiles is a huge hypocrisy, but this hypocrisy seems to be the theme of how the church handles sexual abuse cases. In a statement issued by the United
Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, the Vatican said “the majority of Catholic clergy who committed such acts were not pedophiles but homosexuals attracted to sex with adolescent males,” according to www.guardian.co.uk. This statement is not only ridiculous, but shocking as a man in his position should not be trying to soften the brutality of the issue, but confronting it head on. The Vatican tried to displace the blame by saying that most U.S. churches dealing with child sex abuse allegations were Protestant. The public expects the Vatican to clean up the church, but they refuse to acknowledge this as a pervasive issue. No longer can we allow the church to handle its own pedophiliac priests. Instead, let the state’s justice department investigate and convict the church. Coupled with this, justice departments, especially in the U.S., need to be proactive. They cannot wait for victims to find the courage to go public — but should investigate before any more children become victims. Most importantly, the public, media and our lawmakers need to make a point to address this issue consistently. The more it is publicly condemned, the more the Catholic Church will feel pressure to prevent it. The sexual abuse of minors in the church can’t be swept under the rug forever and it’s time we bring them to justice, regardless of how uncomfortable people may feel about condemning their church leaders. This isn’t an issue of faith, but one of security and justice.

“Should Obama be Killed?” A survey circling around Facebook last Saturday, was recently taken down from the networking site. With the choices: Yes, Yes if he cuts my health care, No, and Maybe, users were allowed to vote whether President Barack Obama should be assassinated. Facebook was not the creator of the survey, the application used allowed users to create surveys. Although the poll itself is no longer available, the U.S. Secret Service is taking this incident as serious as any other presidential assassination threat.
A $179 million budget deficit will hit San Diego next year. Although the city has managed to dodge the cutting of community services, such as libraries and recreational parks, this time around it is not the case. Layoffs are expected to increase as the year progresses. Mayor Jerry Sanders assured, “A deficit this size is so significant that we can no longer shield the public from its impacts.” Pension costs and decreasing tax revenues have led the city to this deficit.

Scientists have been studying the fossilized remains of Ardipithecus ramidus, “Ardi” for short, since its discovery in 1994 in Ethiopia. Ardi, who is more than a million years older than Lucy, is a hominid species that reveals human evolution goes back further than scientists once believed. Ardi also reveals that chimpanzees, human’s closest relative, may have actually taken a different evolutionary path from humans. Scientists are now working to find the source of where chimpanzees and humans separated in evolving from their common ancestor.

Obama’s plan to withdraw 123,000 troops from combat forces in Iraq, and leav-
ing 50,000 noncombat troops, has raised many questions about the future of the United States. “I’m not sure we will ever see anyone declare victory in Iraq, because first off, I’m not sure we’ll know for 10 years or five years,” Army Gen. Ray Odierno declared. Found weapons and ammunition provided by Iranians have led to increased security from U.S. troops. Meanwhile, the troops will continue to work toward reconstructing ties with Iraq and toward the stability of the country. Ken Lewis, Bank of America Chief Executive, will resign from his position, held for eight years, on Jan. 1, 2010. Bank of America recently merged with Merrill Lynch and almost automatically became an object of criticism and questioning. The company was asked to publish company statements including information regarding shareholders. None of the documents have been released. His retirement will not earn him a golden parachute as expected, instead he will receive $53 million dollars in pension. The CEO position has not yet been filled.

HUMOR: I’M A GIRL, YOU KNOW
Dates that put dinner Couples who make a and a movie to shame Halloween statement
O
ctober is my favorite month of the year. And while my birthday and the launch of football season are two prime reasons for this, I also believe Halloween is definitely the best holiday of the year. When it comes to Halloween, though, I’m not one to be part of a coupled duo, unless of course it involves fishnet tights, booty shorts and my scandalous best friend. I think it’s safe to say we’ve all seen our fair share of overrated couples costumes worn straight out of the Party City bag. A Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm here, a plug and a socket there. Come on people, how much more boring can we get? I think it’s about time we up the ante on the creativity scale for Halloween couples costumes. Because San Diego gets year-round 75 degree weather, most of us have probably not realized that the fall season is here and we need to start planning our costume choice. So considering the holiday is approaching, I’ve compiled a few original costumes to make sure that you and your honey are the most talked about Halloween duo this year.

Dinner dates can get costly and boring, especially when done every weekend. By exploring what San Diego has to offer, couples can take advantage of numerous fun activities such as gondola rides and kayaking in La Jolla.
AMINATA DIA F E AT U R E S E D I T O R
Going on dates in college is often predictable, overrated and sometimes a complete waste of money. For those who’ve just started dating, the stereotypical dinner and a movie gets old fairly quickly; and for those who are in long-term relationships, they often find themselves stuck in a routine lacking that initial excitement and spark from the “honeymoon stage.” So, for that special someone, why not take advantage of what San Diego has to offer and step out of the box into an uncommon, yet entertaining, date.
A taste of Italy Hopping on a flight to Italy is less than realistic for college students, but San Diego does offer a taste of the romantic country with Venetian gondola rides. The Gondola Company offers one-hour rides throughout the Coronado Cays, making for stunning views and a romantic voyage. Packages range from $25-99 per person, depending on the type of gondola cruise chosen. A complimentary appetizer or dessert is provided, as well as blankets and glasses in case you choose to bring wine or champagne. Loews Coronado Bay Resort also offers a relaxing and romantic escape with its Voga Voyage gondola rides around Coronado. This gondola package includes a couples massage, complimentary champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, but it also comes with a hefty price tag starting at $499. Reservations for The Gondola Company can be made by calling 619-429-6317. To reserve a Voga Voyage with Loews Coronado, call 1-800-81-LOEWS.
The active couple San Diego’s oceanfront playground offers numerous opportunities for active couples to get into the water and explore. La Jolla Shores as well as Mission Bay are great locations for those looking to rent kayaks, go snorkeling or bike along the scenic beaches.
Certain companies in La Jolla also offer kayak tours through the La Jolla Cove, which is perfect for active couples who want to enjoy the outdoors. San Diego Bike and Kayak Tours offers rentals and trips throughout the San Diego area and accept reservations by phone at 858-454-1010 or online at www.sandiegobikeandkayaktours.com.

that says “Merlotte’s.” Or you can use a green pen and make your own. And don’t forget that gawky Louisiana accent and incredibly ditzy personality to complete the character. For Bill, grab some reliable fangs and dress in a way that your greatgreat-grandfather would if he were attempting to live in the 21st century. After all, you would be dressing as a 174year-old vampire.
Daisy De La Hoya and London It’s tight jeans and mass amounts of liquid eyeliner all around for this reality star couple. For Daisy, I suggest you grab the most cleavage-revealing hot pink top you can find, and either head to the tattoo shop, or grab a Sharpie and start scribbling nautical stars like a scene from “The Nightmare Before Christmas” on your arm. For London, throw on a pair of skinny jeans, buy some Gorilla Glue and spike your hair eight inches above your head. Then spend the rest of your night acting like a dude with no personality to complete the look.
Ari and Lloyd from ‘Entourage’
Kanye West and Taylor Swift
“You wanna hug it out, b****?” If you’re feeling the “bromance” this Halloween, I suggest heading to Fashion Valley and going to Hermes. For Lloyd, make sure you are dressed to the nines — a flamboyant, designer tie, a BlackBerry duct-taped to your head and scurry around in a state of utter panic. For Ari, a Maserati would be a plus, but if you can’t score one of those from the bank of Mom and Dad, then a polished suit and a depreciating attitude will work just fine too.
Granted these two are as far from a couple as you can get, but I just couldn’t help myself. If you’re Taylor, you have one of two options: A) wear a shimmery nude-colored floor-length dress accompanied by a moon man statue or B) wear a short, “I’m-19-and-innocent” looking red dress. If you’re Kanye, I suggest wearing an oversized pair of sunglasses, buzz your hair into some unidentifiable design and carry a microphone with you at all times. When someone speaks to you, say “I’m going to let you finish, but I just wanted to say, damn why’d I have to be so heartless?”

Going to a movie can be cliché if done incorrectly, which is why the Dive-In Theatre at The Pearl Hotel stands out amongst typical movie theaters. The Dive-In Theatre offers a unique movie-going experience with weekly outdoor film screenings every Wednesday at 8 p.m. Films are shown poolside at the hotel, creating a vintage ambience with a mix of classic and contemporary movies. Another bonus to the Dive-In, aside from the unique theater, is the free admission to all screenings. Food and drinks are available for purchase at the hotel restaurant and bar, but entrance to the film screenings is free of cost for hotel guests and others with a drink purchase. Some upcoming showings at The Pearl Hotel include “The Wedding Singer” on Oct. 14, “Walk the Line” on Oct. 21 and “The Shining” on Oct. 28. Check out www.thepearlsd.com/divein for more details.
Double the fun Julia Roberts might have had an ulterior motive when she coaxed Cameron Diaz into performing a horrendous, yet entertaining karaoke routine in “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” But karaoke is a guaranteed good time, no matter how vocally talented someone is. It’s also perfect for a double date because the more people to join in, the merrier — and less embarrassed — everyone will be. The Lamplighter lounge in Mission Hills is the ultimate karaoke lounge with terrifically horrible, yet amusing performances during the weeknights. Showing off musical talents — or lack thereof — with a significant other and a fellow couple will make for an unforgettable time. With tons of opportunities to explore the finest activities San Diego has to offer, forget the traditional date night and try something new.

FOOTBALL
Defense and running game conquer Aggies Kazee rushes for more than 100 yards and Hemmings scores on fumble recovery 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
Glenn Connelly / Photo Editor
In Saturday’s game against New Mexico State, the San Diego State football team’s defense had one of its best performances in years. SDSU held the Aggies to 234 yards of total offense and forced four turnovers.
In Saturday’s game against New Mexico State, the San Diego State football team was not its stereotypical self. The much-maligned running game featured an inspired effort by the SDSU offensive line and 101 yards on the ground with a touchdown by freshman running back Walter Kazee. On the other side of the ball, the Aztec defense, which gave up an average of 460.8 yards per game last season, held NMSU (23) to just 234 yards of total offense while forcing three turnovers and sealing the 3417 victory for SDSU (2-3, 0-1 in Mountain West Conference play). “I thought that we had found a little bit of a rhythm, especially later in the game, running the football,” head coach Brady Hoke said. “And I thought the guys up front stayed after it, but we gave up a couple of plays defensively we don’t want to give up. Rushing the football, they had a couple of runs in there, but I thought our team stayed together.”
While the offense struggled in the first and second quarters, the biggest play of the first half came when junior defensive lineman Ernie Lawson forced a fumble by Aggie running back Seth Smith. The ball was picked up by Aztec junior defensive back Dey Juan Hemmings and returned 14 yards for SDSU’s first points of the game. That play came after he grabbed an interception in the first quarter. “Tonight felt good. We got the pressure on the quarterback for the pick and then (junior linebacker) Andrew Preston actually had the ball first and then he got tackled, so I was able to scoop the ball up for the touchdown. Actually I was running to the ball in pursuit, something we pride ourselves on. That happens and good things happen.” While Hemmings’ play in the first half set the intensity of the game, an interception by freshman defensive back Leon McFadden in the fourth quarter clinched the Aztec win. “We just wanted to finish the game strong, play the game strong,” Hemmings said. “We did get a lot of sacks and our pressure on the quarterback was something we wanted to do this game. We (saw) that the quarterback (was) really shifty so we wanted to really contain him.” SDSU will now have a week off before playing No. 18 BYU on Oct. 17 at Qualcomm Stadium.
FOOTBALL
Aztecs win despite poor showing by Lindley E D WA R D L E W I S SPORTS EDITOR
If the five-turnover performance against Air Force on Oct. 3 wasn’t sophomore quarterback Ryan Lindley’s career-worst statistical game, then Saturday’s 7-for-27 outing against New Mexico State certainly was. The San Diego State football quarterback completed just 26 percent of his passes, threw for just 123 yards and was picked off on his fourth throw of the game. At one point, Lindley was a staggering 1-for-12. “Our passing game was just horrific in the first half,” offensive coordinator Al Borges said. “It really wasn’t very good the whole game. I think we were 8-of-28, which is just terrible.” But Lindley’s bad statistical night doesn’t fall squarely on his shoulders. There were several dropped passes, several wrong routes, and the Aggies were playing a defense which Lindley struggled to adapt to. “They play that cover four and they try to keep everything in front of them and they did that,” Lindley said. “There were some where they just took some stuff away and like I said, there were others in the first half where I kind of got away from the read a little bit. You saw them do something different.” Yet on a night where Lindley played his worst, he may have also played his best. Despite the poor passing numbers, Lindley led SDSU on an eight-play, 64-yard, fourthquarter touchdown drive which broke a 17-17 tie and gave the Aztecs a 24-17 lead they would never relinquish. “He led us when we needed to be led, he strapped it on when it counted and in that regard, he won the game,” Borges said. “You can quarterback the game and lose a game real quick, we all know that, and he didn’t do that.”
Hemmings has a game He recorded his first-career touchdown, his first-career interception and his second-career fumble recovery, yet head coach Brady Hoke said junior defensive back Dey Juan Hemmings’ third-down, fourth-quarter tackle on New Mexico State receiver Marcus Allen
was by far his best play of the night. “I thought the best play Dey Juan made was on the third-down stop when they threw the underneath route and he made a good tackle on the guy,” Hoke said. “That’s what Dey Juan can bring for us. I think he’s scratching the surface and that’s an honest assessment of what he can be.” Hemmings logged six tackles, including one tackle for a loss, and was part of a defense which forced three turnovers and held an Aggie offense to just 234 total yards. “Tonight felt good,” Hemmings said. “We got the pressure on the quarterback for the pick and then Andrew Preston actually had the ball first (on the fumble) and then he got tackled so I was able to scoop the ball up for the touchdown. Actually, I was running to the ball in pursuit, something we pride ourselves on. That happens and good things happen.”
20,000 Brian Sipes Back in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, Brian Sipe was the big man on campus at SDSU. The former quarterback, who wore No. 9 from 196971, recorded 5,707 passing yards and 44 touchdowns as an Aztec. But now, he’s SDSU’s quarterbacks coach, and is also a man who was astonished to see 20,000 people wearing his jersey on Brian Sipe Jersey Giveaway night this past Saturday at Qualcomm Stadium. “I don’t know what to say about that,” Sipe said of the jerseys. “That’s an unexpected event in my life. But it will be fun for my grandkids to see Sipe jerseys around San Diego for the rest of their life probably if there are 20,000 of them out there.”
News and notes Walter Kazee became the first Aztec true freshman running back to rush for more than 100 yards in a single game since Lynell Hamilton did it in 2003. Junior wide receiver Vincent Brown recorded a touchdown in his fifth consecutive game this season against the Aggies, matching the longestever SDSU TD streak. Senior fullback Matthew Kawulok missed Saturday’s game with a shoulder injury.

SDSU comes up short in comeback against TCU B E AU B E A R D E N S E N I O R S TA F F W R I T E R
After dropping the opening two sets of Saturday’s match against TCU, the San Diego State volleyball team needed to regroup. The Horned Frogs had been in control up to this point and SDSU was on the verge of being swept. But a pep talk by head coach Deitre Collins-Parker prevented TCU 3 this, as the Aztecs came out with added motivaSDSU 1 tion and stayed alive with a 25-20 win. The next set was a different story, as SDSU was unable to hold on in a close 26-24 loss and dropped the contest by a score of 3-1 to TCU at the University Recreation Center in Fort Worth, Texas. “It was extremely frustrating because we had that game in our hand,” Collins-Parker said. “I think we all thought we were definitely going into a game five.” The first two sets didn’t go well for the Aztecs, especially the second one. The Horned Frogs completely controlled that set on their way to a 25-11 victory.

Paije Pearson had 11 kills against TCU on Saturday.
Collins-Parker kept it brief when asked about sets one and two, “We didn’t play well.” But in the third set, SDSU was a completely different team as it gained momentum with the game tied 10-10. Behind consecutive kills by freshman middle blocker Andrea Hannasch, the Aztecs went on a 5-0 run and never looked back in a 25-20 win. “All the way through game three we competed,” Collins-Parker said. “And that’s what I want.” The fourth set was a close one, but SDSU held a two-point lead for most of the contest. The Aztecs added some cushion late in the set, taking a 22-18 lead with an opportunity to knot things up at 2-2 with a 24-21 advantage. But that didn’t happen. A kill by TCU middle blocker Kourtney Edwards and three consecutive hitting errors by SDSU allowed the Horned Frogs to take a 25-24 lead. TCU (15-4, 4-1 in Mountain West Conference play) then sealed the win with a kill by Edwards, who finished the day with 16. “I thought we played really well, for the most part in game four,” Collins-Parker said. “I think we got a little too anxious, we tried to force things at the end and lost that game.” Lauren Van Orden tied her seasonhigh in digs with 12. And with 38 assists, the sophomore setter notched her third double-double of the season. Hannasch and sophomore outside hitter Paije Pearson accounted for half of the Aztec’s kills on the day, with 12 and 11 respectively. “She was really instrumental in game three,” Collins-Parker said of Pearson. “On taking some really good swings and getting some points for us.” SDSU (6-9, 1-4 in MWC play) will now prepare for Mountain West Conference co-leader Colorado State at 7 p.m. on Thursday in Peterson Gym. The Rams (12-3, 4-0 in MWC play) will come into town on an eightmatch winning streak. “We need to work on finishing games,” junior middle blocker Lauren Salisbury said. “And staying steady and consistent throughout the whole match and we will win. We are excited to be back at Montezuma Mesa to work out our kinks.”

Living the life and flunking
I
may have signed my own death certificate at the beginning of the semester. My John Hancock on the last page of a lease agreement means that I will be living within walking distance of San Diego State for the next nine months. During my precious time at SDSU, I’ve never actually resided in close proximity to the school. Still, I thought I knew what residing by SDSU entails: I’ve seen plenty of puke spackled across sidewalks and enough frat boys passed out on lawns to understand the nature of the beast. I think, for the time being, all of my academic ambitions have been derailed. For example, a week ago I was walking home on a fine, crisp evening. I intended to study all night for a test I had the next morning. Then, I heard my name being called out from far away. I turned to the direction of the noise and noticed three girls were leaning against a fence. All of them were dressed in skimpy clothing tailored for an animal-themed party and one of them was holding a handle of rum. They recognized me from a party last weekend. Apparently, they were trying to climb over the fence, but the barrier was too hard to get over, even for the girl dressed as a monkey. The

scene reminded me of a botched zoo escape. I momentarily considered feeding the one adorned in elephant apparel a peanut. Eventually I came to my senses and helped the girls dismount the wall safely onto the pavement. At this point, studying was a distant thought in my mind. Like a bug being pulled in by a tractor beam of yellow light, my fate was sealed for the night even if it signaled the beginning of my academic death. I had to attend the party with them. I have no question living close to campus is responsible for my academic suicide. At the best of times, I lived in Del Mar and La Mesa. Even when I schemed my way from couch to couch in various places throughout San Diego, those living situations were infinitely more productive than my current one. My grades will be forever doomed because of this year, and consequently, my stay at SDSU might be prolonged three extra semesters. Even if I do hold it together, at this rate, I’m going to need a wheelchair and constant access to oxygen tanks if I want to make it to the stage come graduation time in the spring. Part of the problem lies with my roommates. They are very cool, but I hate to say, all six of
them are enablers. Because three of them are international students, I’ve become acquainted with the drinking games from Italy and Australia, which are much more entertaining than American ones. The Aussies in particular are a bad influence. I’ve unwittingly been enrolled in an Australian language course. Lately, I’ve been using the word “rooting” and considered eating Vegemite. Australian culture is fueled by alcohol, so there’s no possible way to do these things soberly. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my liquor and women. I just can’t find a point of moderation because I lack the willpower. Therefore, nothing short of converting my living space into a panic room will save me — a room where I’ll be protected from cries of “C’mon man, let’s do some shots!” I was going to end this columnist with a witty anecdote, but all of the earlier mentions of alcohol should have been enough. Once again, the prospect of beer pong has won over any of my serious academic pursuits. Maybe I’ll make it to class a few times this semester.
