Electoral banter ignites Politifest

local

COUNTDOWN TO VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINE:

20 DAYS

Donna P. Crilly Staff Writer

Mayoral candidates Bob Filner and Carl DeMaio squared off in a debate at Politifest 2012 on Saturday.

Politifest, hosted by Voice of San Diego, is an annual festival that focuses on civic issues and San Diego’s future. Moderated

by VOSD’s CEO Scott Lewis, the mayoral debate proved to be the main event of the festival.

DeMaio and Filner took turns bantering about who would be a stronger fit for the mayor position.

In the first round, Filner accused DeMaio and his supporters of “buying” the election, saying DeMaio is in the grip of special interests.

DeMaio, currently a Republican San Diego councilman, says his interest isn’t to make decisions along party lines, but to have a prosperous economy.

“There is no Democratic or Republican way to fill a pothole or respond to a 911 call,” DeMaio said to the crowd.

Prominent local Republicans and Democrats support DeMaio. U-T San Diego owner and conservative “Papa” Doug Manchester and Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs, a Democrat who has previously donated to VOSD, endorse DeMaio.

Filner, a Democratic congressman, reminded the audience of the

influence DeMaio’s two prominent supporters wield.

“They’re going to, in fact, buy this election, buy the City Council and buy the city and run it the way they want to do it,” Filner said.

“When Bob Filner gets elected, it’s gonna be neighborhoods, not special interests.”

Filner candidly retorted to many of DeMaio’s proposals, noting

DeMaio’s avoidance of spelling out specifics for his plans. DeMaio’s responses focused on attempting to garner bipartisan appeal, despite the numerous “boos” he received from some audience members.

Overall, Filner visibly drew more support from San Diegans who attended Politifest. The signs held by attendees supporting Filner outnumbered DeMaio by about 3-

to-1. Filner’s supporters were also noticeably louder than DeMaio’s polite clappers, especially when Filner mentioned his love for the San Diego Chargers.

When the hour-long debate was coming to a close, Lewis asked the mayoral candidates which presidential candidate would be the POLITIFEST continued on page 2

CSU Board reviews Couples debate being degree requirements ‘Facebook official’ state

Donna P. Criilly Staff Writer

Unit requirements are under review to speed up graduation The California State University Board of Trustees was scheduled to amend plans to reduce upper division general education requirements at its meeting on Sept. 18 - 19.

Instead, the board shifted its focus from upper division GEs to degree requirements.

CSU Media Relations Specialist Erik Fallis said the goal is to get more bachelor’s degrees aligned with a typical workload required for students to graduate in four years.

“The title change would be focused on getting those high unit programs down to a fouryear degree level,” Fallis said, adding that consistency among the CSUs is also a factor.

Currently, 81 percent of degrees in the CSU system require 120 units to graduate, equivalent to 15 units per semester for four years.

The challenge, however, is not in reducing requirements, it’s getting students to graduate within four years, according to San Diego State University Senate Chair Bill Eadie.

“I think what the Trustees are concerned about is there are students who are having trouble completing degrees in 120 units,” Eadie said.

“Now that’s different from having degrees that are 120 units.”

Fallis said the CSU system recognizes certain majors require more than 120 units. Some programs have professional, licensing, credential or certification requirements in addition to other degree requirements.

“In those cases, that would certainly be understood and exceptions would be made,” Fallis said. “But what we’re focused on are programs that do not need to be – because of external factors

...the goal is to get more bachelor’s degrees aligned with a typical workload required for students...

– more than 120 units.”

Fallis didn’t name any specific programs, because the Board of Trustees has not discussed a plan of action yet. More definitive plans will be discussed at the next board meeting.

Somehow you would think a musical about an AsianAmerican family forced to move to a Japanese internment camp would be an angry and emotionally draining experience, leaving theatergoers feeling as if they just got punched in the gut.

However, a big surprise about The Old Globe’s production of “Allegiance - A New American Musical” is how optimistic and uplifting the storyline plays out.

In the opening scene, Japanese World War II veteran Sam Kimura (George Takei) is living a rather quiet existence in 2001 San Francisco. When Sam suddenly learns his sister, Kei, passed away, the news inspires him to think about the experiences that drove the two of them apart.

Barlahan thinks couples should take the initiative.

“If you’re both active on Facebook, it should be official,” Barlahan said.

“With my boyfriend, I made him do it just because there are lots of girls that talk to him and don’t know that he’s in a relationship. He’s a Marine, so lots of girls try to hit on him.”

In 1978 he received his B.A. and in 1980 his M.A. at the University of Texas at Arlington and his Ph.D. in communication arts and sciences at the University of Southern California in 1981.

He has taught at SDSU since 1989 and has been a professor since 1995.

“It’s quite an honor. They only give this to one person from each college each year, so it’s something that indicates that my peers think something of the cumulative work I’ve done,” Spitzberg said.

These days, love is not only in the air but on the web too.

Whether you tag a mate in your relationship status update for show, or for some other mushy reasons best kept private, becoming Facebook official is a decision that some partners are enamored with.

DeMaio responded with “the president that gets jobs back in San Diego, plain and simple,” choosing not to publicly endorse a specific candidate.

Filner responded with unbridled support for President Barack Obama and a wisecrack toward DeMaio.

“Well I heard (DeMaio’s) endorsing President Obama, because (that’s) the one who’s gonna create jobs the best,” Filner said.

Although both candidates had much to say about the state of San Diego’s civic affairs, the clear winners of the debate were the airplanes that flew overhead every few minutes.

Spitzberg’s scholarly research leaves little time for rest.

“I want to find some time for my personal life. I’d like to sleep,” Spitzberg said concerning his goals for the near future.

Spitzberg is currently working to help complete a National Science Foundation research project. He is collaborating with two geographers, a political scientist and a computational linguist to examine how ideas spread geographically in terms of diffusion into cyberspace.

Parents in California can no longer use the pseudo-scientific “conversion therapy” in attempts to change their children’s homosexual orientation.

Gov. Jerry Brown announced that that he signed a bill banning “conversion therapy,” making California the first state to ban the practice in the U.S. Effective Jan. 1, the bill means medical practitioners cannot perform this type of therapy to anyone younger than 18 years of age.

This measure came as a large victory for gay rights advocates who want to dismiss the notion that homosexuality is a medical disorder.

Brown expressed his decision to ban the therapy on his Twitter

profile: “This bill bans non-scientific ‘therapies’ that have driven young people to depression and suicide.”

Human Rights Campaign Deputy Press Secretary Charlie Joughin published a statement on the HRC website commending Brown for his efforts.

“We are grateful to Gov. Brown for his leadership by standing with California’s children,” the statement read. “LGBT youth will now be protected from a practice that has not only been debunked as junk science, but has been proven to have drastically negative effects on their well-being.”

The group called on other states to take the same initiative as California.

Democrat Senator Ted Lieu, who sponsored the bill, said the law is in remembrance of a man who committed suicide after undergoing

conversion therapy.

During the consideration of the bill, young people who had the therapy testified how they were affected by the practice.

“As a young teen, the anti-gay practice of so-called conversion therapy destroyed my life and tore apart my family,” witness Ryan Kendall, who experienced the therapy, told legislators.

The opponents to Brown’s bill say it takes away a parent’s right to provide psychological care for their children who express gender confusion.

On the other hand, supporters, including the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association have denounced the practice.

Lieu said this measure will prevent children from psychological abuse.

Aztecs don’t slack off, they slackline instead health

Crystal Tellez-Giron Staff Writer

Slacklining is a sport for anyone willing to test new boundaries. It attracts people of all ages and is an increasingly popular practice in the balancing arts, especially for those with a background in surfing, skating and mountain climbing. But for San Diego State students Anthony “AJ” Fiorillo and Lane Masar, it’s an everyday sport to let loose while maintaining happiness and balance.

He sways slightly left to right and makes it to the center of the rope, as he slowly turns to face the opposite direction and holds a crouched “Karate Kid” pose.

In a succession of four quick and precise movements, his bare feet momentarily hit the ground and he props himself back on the rope, walks backward and holds a kneeling position.

Slacklining began in the late ‘70s in Yosemite and has since turned into a progressive tricklining sport known as “slacking,” according to Masar.

Slacklining is done with a nylon rope tensioned between two anchor points, often trees,

The purple rope hangs four feet off the ground between a red and black rope. The red line almost grazes the green grass, while the height of the black line is an intimidating challenge, even for the seasoned slackliner.

The sun is glaring on the bare back of Fiorillo, who is a kinesiology major, as he jumps on the purple line with a Tarzanlike bounce before finding immediate balance. Clearly, this isn’t the first time he’s walked the line.

“It’s all about balance and to have balance is to be happy.”

Three young boys riding bikes gather around to see what it’s all about and both Fiorillo and Masar encourage them to give it a try. After a few minutes of testing the elasticity of the ropes, they practice jumping on it as if it were a trampoline.

“It’s fun because you’re pushing the limits and exploring new territory,” Masar said. “I’m able to keep active and I get to feel like a kid again.”

Various styles of slacking have emerged throughout the years, all with different influential backgrounds, such as yoga lining, water lining and an extreme form of slacklining practiced over canyons, known as highlining.

Ever since Madonna’s halftime-show performance in this year’s Super Bowl featured slackline tricks, it’s gained more recognition in the U.S. It’s also a growing phenomenon in places such as South America, Asia and

“It’s fun to be a part of because you don’t know where it could go,” Masar said. “Who knows, maybe it could be in the X Games or the Olympics?”

But in San Diego, it’s mostly done for fun.

“Part of it is the seriousness of the relationship, and how long it has been going,” Olson said. “To me, it doesn’t really matter. I don’t use Facebook that much. But if the other person wants it, I don’t normally have a problem with it.

I’m just not the kind of person to say, ‘Oh my god, we have to be FBO.’” Being Facebook official is more than just an update to the newsfeed.

It shows which people are off the market in the dating scene, telling the occasional Facebook stalker to back off. It also puts partners on public display, which is often the desired outcome of changing relationship statuses. For some individuals, however, changing a relationship status can be a little

too public. Computer science senior Brianna Dueñas said she was tentative about making the move.

“At first I didn’t put it up for two months,” Dueñas said. “Because I feel like sometimes people are nosy and are like, ‘Who are you with?’ For me, it wasn’t a big deal, but for him it was and so we put it on Facebook.”

Other couples meet on common ground when becoming Facebook official, saying it matters equally to both parties.

“It was definitely a mutual thing,” SDSU psychology sophomore Jasmine Perez said.

“If either of us didn’t have it up, it would kind of seem like we don’t want others to know.”

There are many possible reasons why certain Facebook users place

higher value on their online relationship status, but for some SDSU students, it is a way to mark territory.

“With Greek life being such a big deal at San Diego State, everyone wants everyone to know who they’re with,” Olson said.

“It’s more of a possessive and territorial thing than anything.”

SDSU marketing sophomore Joachim Skov has his own thoughts on changing a Facebook relationship status, saying it is unnecessary.

“I’m quite against it actually.

If you want to express your love, there are ways to do that other than over Facebook. Being Facebook official is all about the status and showing people that you are occupied,” Skov said.

“But, when it goes wrong, all the

other people are going to notice as well, and that’s where the problem is.”

Going public online does have its drawbacks. Facebook is without a doubt a place where everyone is under the watch of those they are connected with, and that fact should be taken into consideration. An unfortunate side of becoming Facebook official is friends, family, coworkers and other people can scrutinize the relationship status.

Another side to the official relationship status is, of course, being lovey-dovey on each other’s profiles. You wouldn’t change your status if you didn’t want to let the rest of the world know who you’re dating. This is an accepted fact, but is there a line that needs to be drawn for online affection?

Buisness marketing sophomore Lindsey Mason, definitely thinks so, and said some couples go too far when showing their affection online.

“People will post messages all the time on each other’s walls when they could just as easily call or text the person,” Mason said.

“They just want everybody to see it, and it’s unnecessary.”

The importance of being Facebook official varies from person to person. For some, it is a matter of whether or not their significant other wants to do it. It can also depend on the individual’s amount of Facebook use. But for others, it is a mandatory move to validate a couple’s status.

“Everybody uses Facebook, it’s part of life, basically,” Perez said.

“If it’s not on Facebook, then it’s

This is war: How to handle roommate issues

dorm life

Lauren Yap Staff Writer

Many scholars believe lingering issues from World War I directly contributed to the start of World War II. What can students learn from this global battle? The connection between wartime and living with roommates may not be as obscure as you may think.

The key to success in any kind of conflict is an effective strategy.

Therefore, it’s important to resolve roommate issues the first time, or more problems will surely resurface with a vengeance.

Most major wars involve some squabble reguarding territory. Avoid this pitfall by setting boundaries early on with all roommates. Decide where everyone’s food belongs in the fridge. Determine if kitchen appliances are available to everyone or just the owner.

Perhaps no one understands sharing space more than sophomore Emily Fraczek, who grew up with a twin.

“I was used to sharing everything because of the whole twin thing so when my roommate asked to borrow my clothes I said ‘yes’ right away,” Fraczek said.

Students should realize their new roommates may not necessarily have the same perspective about sharing.

“The moment I asked to borrow

one of her shirts, she freaked out on me,” Fraczek said. “I eventually confronted her, saying that it was unfair that I let her borrow my clothes if she didn’t want to lend hers out in return.

She agreed and apologized and we ended up sharing a lot of clothes by the end of the year.”

Although Fraczek’s story had a happy ending, this is not always the case.

A diplomatic solution can diffuse a conflict before it starts.

Negotiation also remains the best policy for regulating tricky communal items in the house.

For example, is the owner of the TV allowed to hog the DVR even though other roommates split the cable cost? Should all housemates have to pay a high electric bill because one person left the air conditioner on all weekend? Is the Justin Bieber fan in the house entitled to plaster the entire family room with posters?

Many times, roommates simply do not realize their selfish ways and have no intention to act disrespectfully.

These dicey situations require diplomatic strategies. All roommates need to choose the protocol for these circumstances before they become problematic. Multiple roommates should never gang up on one person, because he or she will get defensive and may be less willing to understand.

Before World War II, major

Cleanliness can be a divisive issue between roommates. Choosing the best way to communicate frustrations is key to resolving the issue without damaging the relationship.

democracies appeased and ignored the Nazi regime and Hitler was allowed to escalate into an infamous tyrant. Clearly, an excessively passive stance is not a beneficial option for politicians or college roommates.

Clarice, the other Fraczek twin said her roommate would leave

lights on at night.

“I never really said anything because I didn’t want things to be awkward between us,” Clarice said. Many students want to avoid tension, but confrontation does not have to be uncomfortable.

Perhaps Clarice’s night-owl roommate could have used a night-light or studied in the

Physical confrontation is never the answer to a disagreement with a roommate. Before letting anything get to that point, choosing to find a new place to live is always the better choice.

residence hall. Communication major Aaron Kunst suggested being upfront when conflict arises.

“Make sure your roommate understands you are serious but not in a negative or condescending manner,” Kunst said.

Substitute accusing words such as, “you always do this” for collaborative phrases, such as, “We can decide the best way to handle this.” Often, there is a simple solution and roommates are willing to compromise to keep

the living situation pleasant.

Some students remain so terrified of conflict they resort to passive-aggressive techniques.

“Try not to leave notes, send texts, or hit them up on Facebook where messages can easily be taken the wrong way.”

Acts of valor on the battlefield are commemorated with honors and medals, which make the soldiers proud to serve their country.

Similarly, while addressing problems in the household, it is imperative taht roommates also promote positive behavior with encouraging words and gestures.

“I feel really bad when my roommates have to wash my dishes,” senior Jessica Vasquez said. “So if they do happen to clean up after me, I always thank them or try to do something nice for them like bring them a dessert from my work.”

Routinely thank your roommates for helpful tasks like taking out the trash or vacuuming the floors. Often, roommates are more willing to contribute to daily chores when they feel appreciated.

Ultimately, students must implement diplomatic tactics and strategies to prevent World War III. Roommates should form crucial alliances to foster peace and unity in the household.

Director Stafford Arima could have made the show’s plot extremely confusing because a lot of ground is covered in both acts.

Thankfully, the events are expertly handled with attention to detail, not only through the wonderfully accurate scenic design from Donyale Werle, assisted by Sean Fanning, but also through the use of projection (Darrel Maloney) and sound (Jonathan Deans) systems, creating a lively sense of time and place.

With his strong pipes, natural comedic timing and perfect onstage chemistry with the other performers, Leung is a winning presence as Sammy. Sammy’s actions throughout “Allegiance” are sometimes questionable.

Yet, even when he is harsh, he is sympathetic because Leung shows the audience why he chooses to display his patriotism.

including the powerful ballad, “Higher.”

Salonga was so extraordinary during this number in both her performance and vocals that the crowd didn’t just applaud during her rendition, but cheered enthusiastically.

It was such a treat getting to see Takei play two significant roles with wit and grace. As a grandfather who only knows a little bit of English, Ojii-san creates some of the most hilarious moments when trying to help lighten up a situation that, in reality, is quite grim.

When playing Sam, Takei displays emotional power that will surprise anyone familiar with

his role as Sulu in “Star Trek.”

During the climax of the musical, Takei gives a beautifully touching speech. Takei’s honest work during the ending, along with a bittersweet revelation, will have many people in tears.

“Allegiance” works so well because it’s a celebration of humanity. I highly recommend this piece of theater, but for added appreciation, it’s best to attend with someone you care about.

Hopefully, it will go to Broadway and “live long and prosper.”

The No. 12/17/13 San Diego State women’s soccer team opened up Mountain West Conference play against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Friday night at the SDSU Sports Deck. The Aztecs continued their winning ways, improving to 101-1 on the season after beating the Wolf Pack 3-0 in a one-sided match.

It didn’t take long for the Aztecs to notch the game-winner. Senior midfielder Tiffany Hurst netted a goal in the fourth minute, when UNLV failed to clear out a cross by sophomore forward Hannah Keane.

Hurst knocked in her second gamewinner of the season to put the Aztecs up 1-0.

But SDSU didn’t let off the gas after grabbing an early lead. Shots by sophomore forward Haley Locker and junior defender Haley

Palmer nearly had the Aztecs up 2-0. Keane had a shot hit the post before bouncing out of play. The team had already tallied six shots (two off the post) and was hungry for another goal.

The second goal finally came in the 27th minute when Keane scored on a header inside the box from senior defender Rachael McGlinchy’s cross.

Keane passed the ball out to the corner, where McGlinchy tracked it down and fired a cross to a wideopen Keane, who put it away.

“I just ran in, knowing that she would probably get a cross,” Keane said. “I jumped and kind of just closed my eyes and hoped it went in.”

After dominating the first half of the game, SDSU came out of halftime just as aggressive as in the first half with shots from Hurst and Keane coming right away. Senior forward Megan Jurado got onto the scoring sheet when she netted in the potential goal of the year in the 55th

minute. With the ball out wide near the edge of the penalty box, Jurado turned inside to set up her shot, bending it perfectly over the Nevada goalkeeper into the back of the net.

After the game, Aztec head coach Mike Friesen had nothing but good things to say about Jurado. “(Jurado) has played with an unbelievable work rate all four years,” Friesen said. “She’s a special player.

She’s so technical. She’s so dynamic on the dribble. The finishing she’s had this year has been spectacular.”

The third goal for the Aztecs would be the dagger and the UNLV squad was noticeably beaten on the field.

SDSU gets first MW victory volleyball

Fresh off a disappointing loss to Nevada in the Mountain West Conference opener, the San Diego State women’s volleyball team rallied to defeat Wyoming in Laramie, Wyo. It was a close match in all five sets, as SDSU rallied from a 2-1 deficit to come back and claim the victory.

The Cowgirls took the first set at 25-17, and led by as many as eight points before scoring the final five points to take the set. The Aztecs answered back though, winning the second set at 25-18. The score was tied at nine, but SDSU took control, scoring three consecutive points and winning the set by seven.

The San Diego State men’s soccer team lost its first conference game in heartbreaking fashion on Friday, 1-0, in double-overtime to the University of California, Berkeley.

“We were doing everything well starting from our goalie all the way up to our shot line and we were definitely executing all our coaching points,” senior forward Ata Ozbay said. “We just could not find the goal that we needed.”

SDSU dominated both halves, but could not put the ball in the back of the net. The Aztecs outshot the Golden Bears, 9-5, in the first half and 5-3 in the second half.

The Aztecs had a total of seven shots on goal, all of which were saved by California Bear sophomore goalkeeper Kevin Peach. Junior goalkeeper Blake Hylen and sophomore goalkeeper Tim Peitsch each had two saves for the Aztecs.

“We came out with a lot of energy and I think we were the better side over the first 90 minutes,” Ozbay said. “We had Cal on their heels at their stadium, which not a lot of teams are able to do.”

As the game continued into overtime, the Aztecs fought to keep UC Berkeley away from the goal.

Both teams attempted two shots in the first overtime period, but could not score.

In the fifth and final set, the Aztecs won 15-11 to record its first MW win for the season.

Junior outside hitter Raegan Shelton continued her strong, all-around play for the Aztecs, finishing with 16 kills, five blocks, six digs and two service aces for the night. Passing was not an issue, as the Aztecs worked the ball to senior middle blocker Andrea Hannasch for another 15 kills. Hannasch also tallied eight blocks, three digs and two service aces in the game.

Two other Aztecs had double figures in the kill column, as junior outside hitter Summer Nash added 10 kills, four blocks and six digs on the statistics sheet, while sophomore right side hitter Chaiymin Steel rounded out the Aztec players in double figures by recording 10 kills to go along with three blocks as SDSU showed off its well-rounded offense.

Senior libero Kristi Jackels continued her smart and quick defensive play, leading SDSU with a team-high 24 digs. Junior setter Johnna Fouch recorded her second

As a result, the game went into double-overtime and the Golden Bears slowly began to take control of the game.

In the 107th minute, sophomore forward Stefano Bonomo scored the game-winning goal, with assistance from senior midfielder Tony Salciccia and senior forward John Fitzpatrick.

During the second overtime, the California Bears outshot SDSU 6-2 for the first time in the entire game.

“I got very nervous at the end,” junior forward Jordan Ongaro said.

“The last five minutes, they started attacking more and they kept getting more and more chances, which was very frustrating.”

The battle finally came to an end and the Aztecs were defeated 1-0.

Ozbay led the Aztecs with three shots, two of which were on goal.

Ongaro also contributed two shots on goal.

On Sunday, the team continued its Pacific-12 Conference schedule in Palo Alto, losing to Stanford, 2-0.

SDSU now sits at 4-4-1 on the season and is 0-2 in conference play.

The Aztecs will continue conference play at 7 p.m. on Friday at the SDSU Sports Deck against the University of Washington. The Aztecs will take on Oregon State at 1 p.m. on Oct. 7 at home.

“We created plenty of scoring chances that we should have capitalize on, but we didn’t,” Ongaro said. “I still think we are on the right track and we are getting stronger and stronger.” straight double-double game and third of the season, adding 49 assists and 10 digs to her season totals. Jackels has recorded 214 digs so far this season and Fouch leads the Aztec offensive breakout with 347 assists. Nash, Hannasch, sophomore outside hitter Michelle Waber, Shleton and Steel all have more than 100 kills on the season.

Goalkeeper Blake Hylen is a force in the net Adriana Bush Staff Writer

The San Diego State men’s soccer team is currently 4-4-1 overall on the season. The Aztecs will look to get their first conference win of the year at 7 p.m. on Friday at the SDSU Sports Deck when the Washington Huskies come to town. Staff Writer Adriana Bush caught up with junior goalkeeper Blake Hylen to talk about life on and off the field.

Daily Aztec: How is this year’s soccer team different from past years?

Blake Hylen: I think every year, we have had a strong drive to be the best we can, but I think this year, as a group, we are so mature with our team and our roster that everyone is more driven than I’ve ever seen.

A majority of our team are juniors and sophomores who have been through this program for a while, so I think everyone is on the same page and ready to do what we have to do to win.

DA: Last year, you had four shutouts and 71 saves. What are your personal goals for this season?

BH: I don’t really have any personal goals. My goal is to help this team be the best it can and obviously win a national championship and a Pac-12 Championship. That’s our goal every year and that’s the goal

we are striving for now: to win and win everything. So that’s obviously a big personal goal of mine and a big goal for this team.

DA: Is your previous hip injury affecting your season so far?

BH: I don’t know if it’s affecting it. I don’t really think about it. I just try to do what I can and go play. This injury has been going on for about four years now, so I’ve kind of learned to deal with it and just recently, I figured out what was wrong with it. It feels good, better than it ever has and I just have to keep going forward and not think about it.

DA: How did you react when you found out you were named all-Pac-12 honorable mention in 2011?

BH: I was excited of course, but I think it doesn’t really mean anything until you accomplish what you want. It’s nice to be recognized, but that’s certainly not my goal. My goal is to help this team succeed, whether I’m mentioned or not.

DA: Have you ever played a position other than goalkeeper?

BH: I started out as a center back, so I was a defender. One game, when I was younger, we were getting beat so badly that our goalie didn’t want to go in, so I said I would go in and I played really well. I played

on and off for the next year or so and then did goalkeeping full-time and it just took off from there.

DA: Did you always want to play soccer for SDSU or was there another college that interested you?

BH: I knew when I was a freshman in high school that I wanted to play college soccer, but it wasn’t until I came to the campus, met the team and met the coaches that I was driven to play at San Diego State. It was my number one choice. There was just something about it that clicked with me and I didn’t want to go anywhere else.

DA: What fuels your passion for soccer?

BH: I love it. When you love something, you don’t really know why you do it. You just know that it makes you happy, especially going through that injury for the past four years. You’re in and out of the rehab room, but when you are out there (on the field), you realize how much you love it.

DA: Is it your choice to wear a helmet when you play?

BH: I’ve been kicked in the head so many times and had a lot of concussions that the athletic department strongly recommended it and my coach makes me wear it. I don’t choose to wear it. I’m used to it now after playing all last year with it.

adriana bush , staff writer

Junior goalkeeper Blake Hylen makes a save earlier in the season. Hylen leads the Aztecs with 35 saves this season.

I kind of like it now. It lets me know when its time to go.

DA: What is your favorite Major League Soccer team?

BH: I don’t really have one. I enjoy watching the (Los Angeles) Galaxy just because it’s a local team. I watch soccer in general, but probably my biggest pride for soccer would be the USA National Team. That’s probably my favorite team to follow.

DA: What is your favorite restaurant in San Diego?

DA: What do you like to do with your free time?

BH: When it’s not catching up on my homework, I really just hang out with my friends. We always figure out something to do, like Frisbee golf or anything to just kill time, like going to the beach.

DA: How long have you been playing soccer?

BH: Before I could remember. I don’t remember, but my parents said I started since I was three and I’ve loved soccer ever since.

BH: I love Mexican food. I love everything actually. I’m really not a picky eater. I guess Olive Garden is my favorite restaurant. We go to Olive Garden a lot on this team.

DA: Do you have any pregame rituals?

The Daily Aztec does not endorse or support and has no affiliation with the products or services offered in the Classifieds section.

BH: I just try to get in early, warm up my body and just start focusing on the game.

In life, our choices make us fiction

Max Saucedo

I

Staff Writer

finished typing the last line to the story I had just spent the last six months of my life researching. In it described a one Victor Lopez. As I leaned back in my chair, I stretched out, thinking about how I got to this point.

Six months ago...

Lopez was an up-and-coming politician, jumping from the state legislature to a possible seat in Congress within a four-year span.

“Victor Lopez for Congress 1998!

I believe in the people!” In the process of campaigning, he spurned my editor’s help through some thoughtless action. It didn’t matter to Les though. The insult would be paid back in full. He picked up his phone and dialed my number.

“Victor Lopez,” he said. “Burn it all down Q.” He only ever used my number when he was out of options, and he only used my nickname when he really wanted someone burned.

I wasn’t one of his daily rotation writers. I didn’t ever bother trying to cover boxers like Murdoch or going down to Texas and doing a write-up of that flood it had. I don’t kill people, at least not literally. One call from my editor is his version of loosing the hounds of hell. At least that’s my name down at the office: The Hound. Once I find a lead, I don’t stop until I have an answer. My value is not in my sleuthing, it’s my ability to put it all down on paper and make it readable. This was the first time however, I’d been asked to burn it all down.

My investigation required me to spend copious hours following Lopez, tailing him everywhere, learning his habits and behaviors. By the end of the first day I could tell you he liked peanut butter and bananas, only

drank at parties and that he was allergic to avocados. It’s amazing what people throw in their trash.

By the end of the first month I knew his password to his laptop and Blackberry. “Rosalie.” Was she a secret lover? Lopez was a family man, with a wife and kids, none of whom were named Rosalie. I had to find the connection. Perhaps my greatest strength was seeing the connections between two seemingly unconnected events where others only saw darkness. In the meantime I took to airing some of his dirty laundry, starting with the small things, like childhood friends, disgruntled former employees, an ex-coworker, all of whom were more than eager to share stories about the real Victor Lopez.

Lopez must have known someone was watching him. With the campaign heating up, he was beginning to look like a legitimate candidate for the House seat. Les was calling daily, demanding updates. I told him to wait, that I couldn’t be rushed. I had already sent him most of my material anyway and Les had been printing it for weeks, feeding the fire to Lopez’s burning, eroding his support and undermining his foundations. To give him credit he hadn’t broken under the strain, but this would be the coup de grace: a final blow to a flawed man’s campaign and career.

I could have easily went on my gut reaction and assumed that Rosalie was a mistress, but it was a mark of professional pride that I had evidence to back up my theories. Les could wait. One night I followed Lopez to a political fundraising event at the Sheraton. Dressed in my usual coat I normally wouldn’t be able to gain access to this black tie affair.

But these snobby upper-class yuppies would never think to look at a servant twice. I had already purchased a hotel uniform weeks ago. I grabbed a decanter of wine and proceeded to serve members of the party. I tried to find Lopez for an hour and was nearly going to give up when I saw him head upstairs, leading me to follow him.

He was looking extremely anxious, constantly checking his back for followers. He opened a door with key and moved inside. I quickened my pace, but I wasn’t going to be able to catch him before he closed it, so I “tripped” destroying the decanter. He turned and before he could stop her, a little girl came out of the room, curiously walking toward me, a dead ringer for the candidate.

“Rosalie!” he called to her, as I stared into the girl’s eyes. I saw the connection. Lopez approached, but I excused myself and left. He knew though.

Present day I finished my story and leaned back. I couldn’t help but wonder what my role was in this anymore.

As I had gotten more and more involved in his life, I could only feel pity for Lopez. Disgraced, humiliated, divorced, wounded, finished off and rejected on what should be his crowning moment.

Les called asking me to send the final write-up.

“Is this my purpose?” I thought.

I couldn’t tell anymore. The cursor wavered over the send button and moved to the delete button. I pressed it.

“I’m not your hound anymore, Les,” I said, and hung up.

We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.
