STILL GOT IT PHOTO EDITOR DAVID J. OLENDER captured this adrenaline-filled moment at last week’s Green Day concert in Chula Vista. Read about the show on page 6.
Spring application deadline extended RUTHIE KELLY EDITOR IN CHIEF
Last week, San Diego State extended the deadline for applications to transfer to SDSU in the spring of 2011 from Aug. 31 to Sept. 22. This gives upper-division students from local community colleges an additional three weeks to apply for a possible transfer, an opportunity that has not been available at SDSU since spring of 2008. This news represents hope for local students who did not make the Fall 2010 cutoff, or who hadn’t completed enough transfer requirements by the Spring 2010 semester. However, the funding for Spring 2011 spots depends on the passage of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposed budget, which means the ability to accept transfer students is not guaranteed. Gina Jacobs, manager of media relations at SDSU, said there was no
way to tell how many spots would be available. “We don’t know if any will be available, because it all depends on the budget being passed and extra funding for enrollment being received,” Jacobs said. The university opened applications for upper-division transfer students from localarea community colleges on Aug. 1. In a press release, SDSU’s media relations team noted that “the governor’s proposed budget — which includes the restoration of $305 million, as well as an additional $60.6 million that would fund further enrollment expansion — would allow CSU campuses to reverse course offerings and to provide access in the 2010-2011 academic year to an estimated 29,000 additional students.” How many of these slots would be at SDSU specifically is difficult to determine until the funding is actually restored. Both portions of the budget need to be passed for spring slots to be available.
The proposed $305 million represents a “backfill” from last year’s budget, and the possibility of receiving this funding prompted the California State University Board of Trustees to only raise the State University Fee by 5 percent in June, instead of 10 percent. If this funding is not restored, the board will likely reassess the fee amount again this November. “If the $60 million is included with restoration, then we would be able to enroll students, but we’re not sure how many that would be. But we don’t want to have the money, but not the applications,” Jacobs said. As of Sept. 1, SDSU has received nearly 1,000 applications. This is significantly fewer than the nearly 5,000 applications from local transfer students SDSU received for this semester and the more than 2,000 applications received for the last spring cycle, which makes spring slots, if they are available, less competitive. Jacobs said SDSU will continue the practice of prioritizing students who did
all community college work at one of the local community colleges and have met all the transfer admission guarantee requirements, followed by students who have completed their requirements but only completed half of their coursework at a local community college, and so on. Currently, the focus is only on local community colleges. If the funding is not restored, all those who apply will have their application fees refunded, so if they choose, they can use the refunded fee to reapply for the Fall 2011 semester, Jacobs said. None of the currently proposed funding is slated to be used to reduce current student fees. While the likelihood of the funding being restored is speculation at this point, Jacobs said the university is “cautiously optimistic.” “The proposal has gone through a couple of committees and come out the same, which is a good sign. But we don’t know when the budget is going to be finalized,” Jacobs said.

MATT-ER OF FACT
Aztecs don’t learn much from Nicholls State
O
K, wow. Big whoop. San Diego State is so tough it can mercilessly beat an armless fat kid before squeezing him into a gutter outside Qualcomm Stadium. And this is what we’ve learned about SDSU in its thrashing of Nicholls State: it doesn’t take crap from toddlers. Big deal, neither do I. Just this past week, I’ve had two diaper-wearing wastes of sperm gargle insults at yours truly. So, if you’re one of those toddlers and you’re reading this, that’s impressive, but the next time I hear one of you talking crap, I’m stretching that diaper over your ears (that’s called a wedgie). Being a bully in real life can be fun, but is unfortunately frowned upon unless you’re a cop or wearing shoulder pads and a helmet. The Aztecs had all summer to incubate in the frustration of losing their final four games last year. And against Nicholls State, that frustration hatched in the form of 47 points, while the Colonels hatched a goose egg. SDSU kept its foot on the back of Nicholls State for the entire game, never allowing the Colonels to do what five Football Championship Subdivision schools did to Football Bowl Subdivision teams last year, and what Jacksonville State did to Ole Miss this past weekend. Ryan Lindley was spectacular, so was the pass protection and the running game.
MATT MCCLANAHAN S TA F F C O L U M N I S T
DeMarco Sampson’s hands were stickier than a situation involving Tiger Woods and a stripper, and linebacker Miles Burris spent more time in the Colonels’ backfield than the Olsen twins spend bent over a toilet after crackers, taking turns holding each other’s hair. But what does this Aztec victory really mean? That they’re good? Nicholls State opened its season against a Mountain West foe last year, too. Air Force won that one 72-0. So no, the win doesn’t mean they’re good. Other than registering a win, the game was like everything that comes out of Lee Corso’s mouth — meaningless. And that’s a good thing. Because if SDSU couldn’t move the ball against the Colonels, or couldn’t stop them on defense, that would’ve meant a lot. But at least I learned one thing this past weekend. Apparently, attempting to schlep stadium-bought booze into the press box at Qualcomm Stadium screams all sorts of injustices against journalistic integrity. The only problem is, I don’t know how else to watch a football game. And I would’ve really been out of luck had I not played a game of beer pong in the parking lot beforehand. Next week, the Aztecs will be served a sec-

SDSU ties another one Captain comes through Friesen says Aztecs lack ‘heart’ in 1-1 tie against Utah State at home ELI BALDRIDGE CONTRIBUTOR
Sunday afternoon’s game was a frustrating one for the San Diego State women’s soccer team (1-3-2). Despite dominating the game statistically, SDSU could not get a win against Utah State (2-1-2), and after two overtime periods, the Aztecs tied their second straight home game. “We’re not playing with any heart,” head coach Mike Friesen said bluntly. “It’s the little details; there’s not enough fight in them right now.” The first half was mostly spent on the Aggies’ side of the field. SDSU had an

opportunity to score in the 24th minute when senior midfielder Michaela DeJesus collected the ball just outside the penalty box. From there, she took a dribble, then blasted it, but the ball went high. The Aztecs had several opportunities in the closing minutes of the first half, recording several shots, but failed to score a goal. The game entered halftime scoreless. Just three minutes into the second half SDSU was on the offensive once again. After forcing a corner, freshman midfielder Carli Johnson crossed the ball to the far post. Sophomore forward Sarah Halverson was able to kick the ball back across the goal where junior midfielder Kim Carcich one-touched it into the back of the net for her first career goal. “Kim (Carcich) just slid and poked it in,” Friesen said. “That’s something we’ve been working on for awhile.” Utah State was able to respond 13 minutes later with a counterattack. Aggies’ midfielder Stefani Shiozaki played a ball forward to senior Lauren Hansen. She ran toward the goal where she met senior goalkeeper Aubree Southwick. Hansen shot low from seven yards out and the ball trickled past Southwick, tying the game at 1-1. The Aztecs continued to control the game as regulation came to a close, outshooting their opponents 13-6. After a scoreless first overtime, SDSU opened the second overtime strong. The Aztecs sent two crosses from the left wing within the first minute of the period. The first cross went just high and the second was corralled by the Utah State keeper. SDSU had a chance to win the game with seven minutes left, but a diving save kept freshman midfielder Zoe Carroll’s shot from scoring. The game ended in a 1-1 tie. The Aztecs tied Detroit Mercy on Friday, and after a difficult road trip to start the season, the recent lack of intensity has Friesen disappointed. “We played the No. 7 and 8 teams in the country and had no problem getting up for it,” Friesen said. “Now we just expect to win against weaker opponents because we’re San Diego State. We need more leadership.” Last year, SDSU got hot in early September, winning or tying 15 straight games on its way to an NCAA tournament berth. The Aztecs will try to turn their season around again when they play host to San Jose State and No. 1 North Carolina next weekend.
DAN PEREZ S E N I O R S TA F F W R I T E R
In order to get its first win of the season, the San Diego State men’s soccer team needed to rely on the heroics of senior tri-captain Raymundo Reza on Sunday evening. The forward netted two goals and one assist in a 3-2 win against USD. SDSU (1-10) recorded its 11th win of the series, bringing the series to an all-time record of 11-5-2 in the Aztecs’ favor. SDSU jumped out in front when senior tri-captain midfielder Khadim Diouf scored late in the first half. Diouf took a touch from Reza and buried it in the far post to put the Aztecs on the board. SDSU notched two other scoring chances in the first half, but both attempts narrowly missed when they connected with the crossbar. The Aztecs took a 1-0 lead into halftime even though USD controlled the shots by a margin of 7-3. The Toreros’ only threatening chance came early when USD sent a header just over the top of the net.
BEHIND THE NUMBERS
Only minutes into the second half, Reza continued to put pressure on the Toreros. Reza took advantage of a poorly cleared ball, fired a shot from almost 50 yards out and beat the goalkeeper to put the ball in the back of the net. Twenty minutes into the second half, USD finally got on the board as a flick header beat redshirt senior goalkeeper Brad Byrns, making the score 2-1. The left post would keep the game within reach for the Toreros, as Reza sent another chance off it later in the second half. In the 81st minute, USD evened up the match when Marcelo Carminatti scored a goal that made the game 2-2. Two minutes later, Diouf went down in the box and SDSU was awarded a penalty kick. Reza took the kick, scoring the eventual game-winning goal, putting the Aztecs up 3-2. The Toreros controlled possession and the shot advantage, outshooting SDSU 15-6, but only got three shots on goal. Reza, the team leader in points for the Aztecs last season, was involved in each goal SDSU recorded, finishing with two goals and one assist, making him the leader in points once again for the Aztecs.

Take a dive into the Devil’s Punchbowl Local falls attract those seeking danger and adventure CHRIS POCOCK S TA F F W R I T E R
To a young college student perched atop the 50-foot cliff, the swimming hole below looks a lot farther away than it did a few minutes ago. She can hear music and the sporadic laughter of the dozen or so 20-somethings lounging in the water at the base of the cliff. The summer heat – somewhere between 95 and 100 degrees on this particular day – beats down with a scorching intensity as she mentally makes amends with every person she’s ever wronged. Suddenly, she leaps. Time seems to slow until her toes finally hit the lukewarm water, and she surfaces a few seconds later, smiling from the exhilarating jump and the applause of the people all around her. Cliff-diving is the norm at the Devil’s Punchbowl, a small set of falls located only two hours away from the San Diego State campus and host to one of the county’s diveable set of cliffs. But for those adventurers who regard heights with the same affection as pop quizzes and classes in Storm Hall, have no fear. Cliff-diving is not the only attraction at Cedar Creek Falls, the site of Devil’s Punchbowl. Attached to a large tree standing near the waterfall is a solitary
rope swing often used when the days are at their hottest. Tan and bronzed visitors of the falls can often be found basking on a nearby rock or floating on an inflatable raft. Photography buffs and nature appreciators alike will surely enjoy the magnificent and picturesque scenery around the area, including the 100foot waterfall that towers above the pool of water at the far end of the falls. And for those who prefer climbing to diving, there’s even a carved out cliff devoted specifically to rock climbing.
... for those who prefer climbing to diving, there’s even a carved out cliff ... Though the falls are truly magnificent, traveling to this desert oasis does not come without some peril. The falls, accessible by two trails with entrances located in Ramona and Julian, require would-be cliff divers to hike roughly two miles, often in temperatures of more than 100 degrees. There is little shade throughout most of the trail, requiring most hikers to lather on sunscreen and carry enough water for the hike in and out of the falls, about three to four quarts of water per person. Those who forget to bring enough water can be subject to some
harsh and serious consequences such as heat stroke and dehydration. Nydia Davenport, a junior at SDSU who recently went on the hike, said she enjoyed visiting the falls but would have done a few things differently had she known about the heat. “I would have brought more water and food because I went with some people that had some trouble on the way back,” she said. “It’s important to be careful. You’ve really got to be aware of what your body’s telling you.” But more dangerous problems can also arise if visitors fail to take the right precautions. Inexperienced cliff divers occasionally find themselves in trouble after diving into a more shallow part of the water, resulting in neck, back and s p i n a l c o rd i n j u r i e s . I n r a re instances, these kinds of injuries have resulted in death. On July 8, 2005, 27-year-old Miguel Angel Cruz was discovered at the bottom of the pool after he was separated from the group he was hiking with a few hours earlier. Six years before that, Andy Betts, a young man who had been drinking alcohol before approaching the edge of the cliffs, stumbled and fell against the rocks three times and ultimately fell to his death. These tragedies serve as a reminder to be careful and stay aware of the surroundings. For those thrill-seekers hoping to break away from the school scene and go on an adventure for a day, the Devil’s Punchbowl can be a thrilling and beautiful retreat as long as visitors take the right precautions.

LIVE AND DANGEROUS
Another stellar show from Berkeley rockers DAVE OLENDER PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR
Last Thursday, legendary punk rock trio Green Day abused its guitar strings, pounced its snares and melted its mics with a searing sound, just like when it infiltrated the mainstream radio waves in the early ‘90s. Now almost 40 years old, the three members of Green Day have aged similarly to a fine bottle of scotch. AFI, the opener, played for a pithy 45 minutes as the night began at the Cricket Wireless Ampitheatre in Chula Vista. Just after the moon replaced the sun, the punk rock geniuses of Green Day came barreling out from backstage, jolting the crowd from its nonchalant posturing to an attentive focus. Hundreds of hands were aimlessly raised into the air, illuminated by the stage lights. “This is the biggest pit we’ve had so far on the tour,” Green Day’s front man, Billie Joe Armstrong announced to the roaring crowd. At the start of the second song, Armstrong pulled up a fan from the pit to sing lyrics, only to hurl himself back into the audience to catch a brief surf upon the crowd’s hands. Aside from a few new wrinkles, Green Day’s music and performance has not aged a bit; there are no creases in its energy and its seams are tight.

Green Day is notorious for interacting with its audience, and this show was no exception.
That night, Green Day played for three hours straight and appeared to simply and genuinely love playing its hits and entertaining its fans. The next tour will be taking Green Day on a journey through South America beginning next month. Its creative punk momentum has been equivalent to that of an infinite avalanche and it is doubtful this band will ever go unrecognized.
A MASTERED MUSE
Famous names dominate Balboa Park gallery SPIKE HEMANS CONTRIBUTOR In one frame, Bob Dylan kicks an old tire down a deserted New York City street. In another, Joni Mitchell sits silently at a piano, her eyes closed as she listens to music being played off in the distance. These stark images are just two of the many on display at “Taking Aim,” the newest show at San Diego’s Museum of Photographic Arts. “I wanted to show how photographers and their work helped shape the image of rock ‘n’ roll,” the show’s curator, Graham Nash, in MoPA’s promotional material said. Nash, who is one-third of the famous trio Crosby, Stills and Nash, has been taking photographs of his bandmates and friends for more than 40 years. He was approached to put together the show by the Experience Music Project, based out of Seattle. The collection of more than 50 works is a striking showcase of mostly candid shots of world-famous musicians, rehearsing in grungy hotel rooms or lounging in airport snack bars. Most shots are completely candid
and manage to capture the mystic quality of these music icons who are worshipped by millions of fans worldwide. Other shots include lesser-known musicians from countercultural bands who rebelled against traditional mainstream music, such as Black Flag and The Clash. “A lot of attitude in rock ‘n’ roll is against the status quo,” Nash said. “It’s against people that try to confine people and try to control them.” Indeed, some of the work gives the audience a view of the self-destructive lifestyles of some of these legends, such as Janis Joplin cradling a bottle of Southern Comfort or Elvis Presley sitting down to a greasy breakfast. The predominantly black and white shots are all taken before the age of digital media, so many have the classic, grainy appearance of film photography that lends itself to the overall atmosphere of the photographs. Only a few color photos make an appearance, such as a shot of the rapper Notorious B.I.G., who makes a cameo in glossy blue and purple robes. The show also features many photographs that define the popular image of a
particular rock star, such as Johnny Cash playing at Folsom Prison, gritting his teeth and flipping the bird to the cameraman. Another picture depicts Bob Marley sitting against a wall in mid-exhale, cradling a spliff between his slim fingers.
“Taking Aim” is a must-see show hanging at the Museum of Photographic Arts until Sept. 26. San Diego MoPA is open Tuesday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit MoPA’s website at mopa.org.

Trial and error made easy
D
uring my first semester at San Diego State, I had several questions that I found answers to only by trial and error. But there are questions that linger, questions such as, “How the hell do I read that sundial in front of Hepner Hall?” and, “Is it possible to maintain a relationship and my incredibly low personal hygiene standards at the same time?” These questions I might never have answers to, but there are a few I have spent time researching that might help new students.
How do I fit in on campus? It varies between men and women. If you’re a guy, you should invest in some shirts that don’t have sleeves; this of course, comes after you spend thousands of dollars on supplements to make your twig arms grow big enough to cover them in tribal tattoos. After you get your shirts, go ahead and get a longboard to carry around. It’s kind of like a penis extension, so go with something long but not freakishly big, and don’t worry if you can’t ride it; you just need to carry it around to show you’re a rebel with better things to do than learn, such as carrying your longboard around. For girls, it’s a little easier. Buy some shorts that don’t really cover your butt completely and keep your weekend options open. You can also dress in two-year-old fashion trends like gladiator sandals.
ANTHONY ARTALE S TA F F C O L U M N I S T
Should I join a sorority or fraternity? Before you decide to go Greek, ask yourself this question, “Am I capable of making friends without spending any money?” If the answer is yes, then you probably don’t need to join. If the answer is no, I’ve heard all the cool kids are in Gryffindor, and all the easy girls are in Slytherin.
