Kevin Smead staff writer Associated Students of San Diego State held a rally for higher education at the end of Campanile Walkway yesterday afternoon. The rally focused on the impact of the $650 million budget cuts approved during the summer and the subsequent $294 fee increase for all California State University students. Attendees participated in the rally in several different ways. Students were able to register to vote or change their voting address if they recently moved to California. In addition to voter registration, students were encouraged to vote in upcoming elections to make their voices heard through the democratic process. The rally also marked the beginning of “The Buck Starts Here!” campaign. Participants were given a red mock-up of a $650 million bill with the face of Gov. Jerry Brown on the center and instructed to write their personal story of how the budget cuts have affected them on the fauxcurrency. These bills were then placed in a box that will travel throughout the CSU system, collecting bills all across the state.

On March 5 of next year, a “March in March” event will be held in which all of the collected bills will be delivered to Sacramento in the form of a peaceful march on the capital. Although the politically charged currency will only travel through the CSU system, the University of California system and community colleges will also take part. A letter will also be addressed to Brown, citing grievances in regards to the state of the CSU budget. While the official box holding the bills will be leaving SDSU and going to CSU San Marcos next Monday, students are still able to submit their personal stories via the bills on campus all semester. “We’re doing this campaign to show that students aren’t going to stay silent anymore,” Nicole Ganz, Legislative Research Commissioner for A.S., said. “(Students) are seeing both budget cuts and class size increases. We want to make sure that students’ voices are being heard and that the governor and legislature know we will remain quiet no longer.” A.S. Vice President of External Affairs Krista Parker said that despite these frustrations, students can make a difference.

“We’re doing this campaign to show that students aren’t going to stay silent anymore.”

Nicole Ganz, legislative research commissioner for Associated Students “Sometimes, when you just want to scream, it’s easier to rationalize what you’re feeling by writing it down,” Parker said. “We want students to know that their voices matter.” The rally comes the same week that “trigger cuts” built into the state budget may threaten the entire California education system. If tax revenues are not approximately $4 billion more than the state budget forecast by next month, Brown and the state legislature must assess whether further cuts are needed. As of Sept. 30, the forecast is approximately $700 million behind the goal. The cuts would be enacted in a tiered structure with tier one going into effect Jan. 1 and tier two occurring Feb. 1. If the projected budget

gap for the next fiscal year reaches the first tier of $1 billion, UC and CSU budgets would be trimmed by $100 million each and community college fees would be increased by $10 per unit. If the projected gap reaches the second tier of $2 billion, the school year will be reduced by seven days. Yesterday’s rally should send a clear message to Brown about what the students want, but whether or not the tiered-system cuts go into effect will depend on many factors. Should the additional cuts not occur, which is a goal of the Rally For Higher Education, it would be the first time since the 2007-2008 fiscal year the California education system has received the entire amount of its allotted funding without a cut.

Diversity efforts brings Safe Zones Tara Millspaugh staff writer San Diego State is becoming a more friendly environment for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community because of Safe Zone training that faculty, staff and students have undergone. Volunteers from the LGBTQ community, whose mission is to ensure a campus atmosphere that is welcoming, informative and supportive, provide Safe Zone training. The program also provides information about LGBTQ issues, support groups and referrals. Once someone has completed the training, he or she receives a multicolored sticker to place on his or her

office or room window that indicates the room is a “Safe Zone.” The goal of this is to ensure a member of the LGBTQ community can feel safe and secure while talking to an ally who has been trained. “It’s like a professionalized stamp to let people who may feel oppressed, know you seriously care about what they have to say and that they can talk to you,” political science sophomore Canae Washington said. Since 2007, a core group of collaborators comprised of students, faculty and staff has devoted its time and resources to meeting the goals of on-campus Safe Zones. The President’s Office, Associated Students and Residential Education are just a few of the SDSU organiza-

tions involved in trying to make SDSU a safer LGBTQ community. Nichola Lawrence is a residence hall coordinator in Zura Residence Hall and finds Safe Zone training beneficial because it informs people of all the different resources on campus that are provided for the LGBTQ community. “The training addition educates you on oppressive attitudes that LGBTQ students face on a daily basis,” Lawrence said. “This I believe is the first step in advocacy.” According to assistant professor of women’s studies Sara Giordano, Safe Zone training provides professors with more than just the recognition of being friendly toward the LGBTQ community, but it also contributes to becoming a better listener.

“The most important part of the training is learning to be a good listener and be a good ally to anyone, and hear students out and not go into problem solving mode right away” Giordana said. As a faculty member who openly identifies herself as queer, Giordano wants to promote a safe environment for students and other faculty who do not feel comfortable or know who to talk to. It is never too late to become an ally for the LGBTQ community. Safe Zone training is offered every semester free of charge.

Cowgirls upset Bay Area win gets away Aztecs in semis Danielle Gaut staff writer Despite outshooting its opponent 126, the second-seeded San Diego State women’s soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision against third-seeded Wyoming in the semifinal round of the Mountain West Championship in Albuquerque, N.M. last Friday. SDSU was quick to take primary control of the ball in the first half. The Aztecs’ WYO 1 first scoring opportunity SDSU 0 occurred in the opening two minutes of play when freshman forward Kelsey Booth took a shot from the far left wing that went wide. The Aztecs’ backline remained solid and denied Wyoming’s offense any shots until the 20th minute in. The Aztecs frontline continued to capitalize, taking six more shots in the first half. Although dominating all aspects of the contest in the first 45 minutes, SDSU was unable to put a shot past the goalie and the game remained scoreless.

At the start of the second half, the Aztecs continued to attack offensively taking two shots in the first 10 minutes. Booth took a shot from inside the box that was blocked in the 52nd minute, while junior midfielder Megan Jurado followed up less than a minute later with a shot that went wide. As the game progressed, the second half became more evenly matched as Wyoming began applying more offensive pressure. The game remained actionless for nearly 10 minutes until the Cowgirls were able to capitalize on SDSU’s defensive mistake. In the 83rd minute of match play, a Wyoming defender crossed the ball directly to the head of an unmarked forward who placed the ball in the back of the net. The Aztecs attempted two more shots in the game’s final minutes. However, their attempt at a late game comeback was cut short as time ran out. SDSU outshot Wyoming in both periods while finishing the game with an 8-2 advantage in corner kicks. Freshman goalkeeper Rachel Boaz was awarded three saves. The Aztecs concluded their season with an overall record of 10-7-3. DUSTIN MICHELSON, STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

SDSU leaves Nothern California without a win

“It is pretty disappointing. We actually played pretty well, especially on Friday, but had some mistakes on defense ...”

W O M E N ’ S S O C C E R S TA N D I N G S The Aztecs’ hopes for a Mountain West Championship were dashed by Wyoming on Friday; here are the conference’s final standings.

The San Diego State men’s soccer team left for the Bay Area on Thursday to take on Stanford and Cal for a weekend of Pacific-12 Conference play. The Aztecs hoped to return to San Diego on Sunday night with two victories in their pocket. Instead, they returned home with none. Friday night in Palo Alto, Calif. Stanford scored three unanswered goals in the final 70 minutes of play to give the Aztecs a 4-1 defeat. Fast forward to Sunday afternoon. SDSU, ranked No. 27 in the latest College Soccer News poll, played last season’s NCAA SDSU 1 quarterfinalist, Cal, to a 1-1, CAL 1 double-overtime draw. “It is pretty disappointing,” senior co-captain Daniel Steres said. “We actually played pretty well, especially

Daniel Steres SDSU senior co-captain on Friday, but had some mistakes on defense that led to goals and just couldn’t find the back of the net on many of our chances on offense.” The tie gives the Aztecs a 10-5-3 record overall and a 4-4-1 record in Pac-12 play. SDSU also now owns a 3-1-1 record against teams that made last year’s NCAA Tournament. The Aztecs outshot Cal 18-17, including a 6-3 advantage in two overtimes, but were unable to score late. Redshirt senior midfielder Gemechu Abraham scored his first career goal as an Aztec. Redshirt sophomore midfielder John Pegg had four shots on offense to lead SDSU, while sophomore forward Miles Byass had three attempts.

Aztec seniors Abraham, Pedro Adan, Byron Boyken, Davies, and Steres will be honored in a pregame ceremony. “UCLA is always a big game for us,” redshirt junior Chance Marden said. “We always circle it on our schedule; it’s a must-win. Also, it’s senior day and we need to send our seniors out with a win.”

Explore the ‘DC Universe’ free of charge Cody Franklin staff writer A month like November, with so many game releases, can hit gamers hard in the wallet. Luckily, there’s one game this month that won’t cost a dime. Though “DC Universe Online” has been out since January, gamers have had to pay to get in on the superhero / villain action. Until now. Last Wednesday the game began transitioning to the free-to-play model. “DC Universe Online” is set in the DC comic book universe. Players control ordinary humans who have been granted superpowers by iconic bad guy Lex Luthor. After traveling back in time to prepare humanity against an attack from the villain Brainiac, Lex released special “exobytes” that grant abilities to people worldwide. Players must choose a weapon skill such as dual pistols, a travel skill such as flight and an ability power set ranging from fire to gadgets. Then players pick which character they want to control, which drastically

changes the quest lines and areas each player encounters. Want to be Joker’s pal, terrorizing the streets of Gotham? Why not run around with Wonder Woman, defending good in the heart of Metropolis? Fast-paced, action-packed combat certainly makes players feel they are a real superpowered fighting force. Hilarity results from using travel powers while fighting; each fighting style provides an experience difficult to find anywhere else. Throwing comically oversized bombs at enemies is always good for a laugh as well. Shaping a character’s appearance is of paramount importance in any superhero game and “DC Universe Online” has fantastic features. Once players create their starter appearance, every piece of gear collected in the world adds to a collection of clothing, which is changeable at the touch of a button. Likewise, changing clothing color is incredibly simple. Not having to waste time and money on overcomplicated processes like using dyes is a breath of fresh air that should be adopted in more role-playing games.

Graphically, the game isn’t state of the art, but it still looks very good, runs well on Playstation 3 and won’t break most computers. Though a locked frame rate of 30 frames-per-second might throw off some players, the smoothness of performance more than makes up for giving up a few frames. One complaint about the game is the rather limited amount of abilities to choose from, though some might call this a plus as none of them seem to be weak. Likewise, the game is rather short, with only 30 levels of content. Players can reach level 10 in just a few hours; however, the fighting and power styles are interesting enough that players will want to try out other characters. Conversion to free-to-play has not gone seamlessly. Servers have been experiencing hours-long outages since the transition. However, Sony appears to be working diligently to fix these issues. As a free-to-play game, some content is restricted. Free players will have only two character slots, a small inventory and a few other restrictions. However, if players spend at least $5 in

the item shop, they will become premium members and have some of the restrictions loosened. Pay a monthly subscription and all content is unlocked with all restrictions removed. However, even as a free player, most of the game is accessible and the restrictions are far less heavy-handed than other free-to-play games. Overall, “DC Universe Online” is a fun game for anyone seeking a more fastpaced massively multiplayer role playing game in a world of games full of

perpetual grinding. Fighting alongside comic book legends such as Catwoman and Flash makes the game worth a look simply for its comic book roots. While it may not keep players enthralled through hundreds of hours of content like some of its competitors, players will likely find themselves having much more fun in the limited content provided. With a nonexistent price tag, it’s hard to go wrong with “DC Universe Online.”

OPINION

Speed rail is runaway train of tax dollars n 2008, California voters approved Proposition 1A, The Safe, Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act for the 21st Century. According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the act’s passage approved the sale of nearly $10 billion in general obligation bonds in order to, “fund (1) pre-construction activities and construction of a high-speed passenger train system in California, and (2) capital improvements to passenger rail systems that expand capacity, improve safety or enable train riders to connect to the high-speed train system.” Thus the California bullet train was born. The high-speed train system aimed to connect numerous cities in Northern, Central and Southern California, including San Diego, Anaheim, Sacramento, San Jose and many more. It would provide service from Los Angeles to San Francisco in less than three hours, with speeds topping 220 mph. In the process it would create jobs, reduce environmental impacts of car traffic and address the growing concern of transportation within the state as the population continues to increase. The concept is appealing. The execution is not. This past Tuesday, The California High-Speed Rail Authority, the agency tasked with building the bullet train, released a business plan detailing the growing complexities of the project. The findings are grim. The current estimated cost of the project is around $98.5 billion which is more than double the original 2008 estimate of $43 billion. Equally troubling are the sources of funding. According to the plan, private investment and federal funding are the primary sources for the project. With an increasingly constrained federal budget, the reality of the federal government as a source is not guaranteed. This could mean additional public borrowing in order to complete the project. To stoke investor confidence in the project, the CHSRA sent a letter to select California legislators, saying individual investors may not be willing to back the project until it is completed and its revenues are proven. This basically amounts to the acknowledgment that the only means of completing the project may be through government money. That’s assuming completion does happen. The most recent estimate of

Brody Burns staff columnist completion, according to the CHSRA plan is 2033, 13 years later than the original projection of 2020. Finally, the generous estimates of riders are incredibly unbelievable. CHSRA projects ridership in 2040 to be between 29 and 44 million people, which would be more riders than Amtrak had nationwide last year. CHSRA recently came under fire after

and behavioral impacts the state. The original top estimate in annual ridership was 96 million by 2030. This is not a realistic future expectation. What was sold to taxpayers in 2008 is clearly not the current economic climate of the project, nor is it illustrative of recent forecasts of ridership or completion, or representative of the reticent investment future facing the bullet train. Granting another vote would provide a means of recalibrating the viability of the project.

The project is more expensive than previous ... predictions, behind schedule, lacking investors and may have fictitious data serving as justification; so where do we go from here? researchers found its forecast methods to be inconsistent and unreliable in comparison to some of its earlier projections. If the estimates are that blatantly erroneous, where is the credibility of the organization overseeing such a vast project? The project is more expensive than previous budget predictions, behind schedule, lacking investors and may have fictitious data serving as justification; so where do we go from here? Enter California State Senator Doug LaMalfa, who has had enough of the project. He introduced legislation this past week that would return the fate of the project into the hands of voters. “In three years we’ve seen the cost of this project increase 300 percent from what voters were told in 2008,” he said. “Californians deserve honesty from their government, and I will introduce legislation allowing them to finally make an informed choice that the High-Speed Rail Authority has thus far denied them.” In light of the recent findings, LaMalfa’s legislation is the exact remedy to the muddled bullet train project. This does not call for a bullet through the heart of the bullet train, but instead it is time for the voters to be granted the right to cast another vote. The initial project sold to voters was a “bill of goods,” a misleading offer of incredible financial

In an interesting related story, additional political turmoil is beginning to affect the project. Controversial routing decisions regarding the Los Angeles County High Desert area were under consideration this May, which may turn out to be a foreboding warning of the broader impact of the project. Potential land seizures attributed to the bullet train could destroy local businesses, schools, churches, factories, warehouses, banks, office buildings, homes and much more. What are the true economic costs of the bullet train? As Rich Connell and Dan Weikel wrote in the Los Angeles Times, “As officials rush to start building, they still have not resolved an array of political, financing and engineering challenges.” At a cost of $98.5 billion, everything should be decided, down to the color of the floor mats, prior to construction. The bullet train is an investment in our future, once again addressing population growth and current limitations in transportation, but these preparations cannot be made by irresponsible and outrageous spending.
