Chancellor search
UCSD Names a New Chancellor Dean of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon will become the university’s eighth chancellor. K yle S zeto /G uardian
BY Javier Armstrong Staff Writer Pradeep K. Khosla, dean of Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering, will be the eighth chancellor of UCSD, UC President Mark G. Yudof announced May 3. Chancellor Marye Anne Fox, who announced her resignation on P radeep K. K hosla July 5, 2011, will continue serving until the UC Board of Regents confirms its final decision at the May 16 meeting. Yudof said that Khosla emerged as the top candidate after the international search. The search committee, comprised of faculty, Regents and students, took eight months to interview prospective chancellors. “[Pradeep Khosla is an] oft-honored researcher, an innovative educator dedicated to improving the quality of life for students, faculty and staff and an entrepreneurial leader with a global vision and proven fundraising abilities,” Yudof said in a press release. Outgoing Chancellor Marye Anne Fox’s eight years at UCSD are highlighted by the improvement of university infrastructure and increased funding and prestige of UCSD academics and research. As the Guardian reported back in October, Fox plans to return to teaching and spending time with her family. Khosla is the Philip and Marsha Dowd University Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Robotics at Carnegie Mellon, where he has initiated several undergraduate curriculum reforms. According to the press release, he implemented successful diversity efforts, multidisciplinary and multicollege research centers, multidisciplinary graduate offerings and started international programs in Japan, Korea, Portugal, China and Rwanda. Khosla’s leadership resulted in larger numbers of women and minorities See Chancellor, page 3
Ron Paul Draws Crowd of Nearly 6,000 By margaret yau • Managing Editor
R
epublican presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) spoke to approximately 5,600 spectators at Warren Mall last Friday. The group UCSD Students for Ron Paul, chaired by president Elizabeth Goodrich, brought Paul to campus on Friday, May 4. After a brief introduction, a black SUV pulled up to Warren Mall and the crowd exploded in cheers of “President Paul.” During the speech, Paul stressed the need for the country to return to
mental power and individual liberties. “Liberty doesn’t come because you are part of a group,” Paul said. “You don’t get liberty from being a hyphenated American. You have liberty because you have a right to your life, you have a right to your liberty and you have the right to keep all the fruits of your labor.” According to Goodrich, UCSD Students for Ron Paul solicited over 1,000 signatures on Library Walk this past October to bring Paul to campus.
Soon after, the campaign contacted Goodrich about including UCSD on Paul’s California campaign tour. Paul’s campaign also stopped at UCLA, UC Berkeley and several state schools this week. Goodrich said that Friday’s event, excluding the cost of transporting Paul to campus, cost approximately $4,000. According to Goodrich, Paul’s own campaign funds supported the event. Goodrich said that the event was See Paul, page 3

Israeli Diplomat Discusses Foreign Policy BY Ayan Kusari Staff Writer Israeli Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon delivered a talk on the IsraeliPalestinian conflict, nuclear proliferation and the Arab Spring movement at Price Center Theater on May 3. Ayalon has been acting as Deputy Foreign Minister, one of the most senior positions in the Israeli cabinet, since March 29, 2009. As Deputy Foreign Minister, Ayalon is responsible for promoting economic, cultural and scientific ties between Israel and other nations. Before that, he served as the Israeli ambassador to the United States. Ayalon discussed Israel’s goals in its relationships to neighboring countries. “Israel would like to have peace — a true peace — with all its neigh-

its Constitutional values. “Our job is great too, it’s a major task to change this country around because we have been drifting from our original intent of our Constitution, and the problems began a long time before you were born and unfortunately, you as a generation are inheriting it,” Paul said. “The burden will fall on you to change things.” During his speech, Paul spoke about his libertarian values. Libertarianism is a political stance that values freedom from govern-

bors,” Ayalon said. “For us, peace is not just a piece of paper. It is an act of recognition and acceptance. We have been offering that.” Ayalon asked his audience members to look to the publicly available Oslo agreements of 1993 as proof. “If you check the offers, you’ll see that [Israel] has come 95 percent of the way,” he said. “Palestine has not budged an inch.” Palestinian scholars, such as Saree Makdisi, have argued that the Oslo Accords were heavily biased in favor of Israel to begin with. Ayalon said he was optimistic about foreign relations because it was his responsibility to be as a leader. He said that it was important for Israel to focus on building other allies in the Middle East, rather than focusing on a

state “that will not, in a thousand years, recognize Israel as a nation.” “We should look for solutions,” he said. “We should not look at it as a zero-sum game.” Tritons for Israel, a campus organization that has also arranged for other Israeli speakers to speak at UCSD, coordinated the Ayalon event. TFI President Daniel Friedman said his group felt that it was necessary to sponsor speakers like Ayalon because of the divestment resolutions that have been brought before A.S. Council in recent years. The resolution asks the council to support divesting, or withdrawing money from, companies that provide war technology used by the Israeli Defense Forces in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Friedman said that reserving Price
Center Theater, where the event was held, was the most difficult aspect of event planning. Campus security, Israeli security and representatives from the State Department took care of security, scheduling and logistics. “There was a lot of coordination between the different teams involved,” Friedman said. “At UCSD, it all started four years ago when a resolution was brought to condemn Israel, and divest from a couple of Israeli companies who did business with the national military.” Friedman received day and time confirmation of the event on April 11 from Israeli security. From there, TFI had three-and-a-half weeks to prepare the event, and began planning

The campaign used federal government, foundation and alumni resources to construct an energy institute and raise $90 million for a new biotech, energy and nanotech engineering building. Khosla is an active member of the Pittsburgh community, where he serves on the board of several non-profits, including The Children’s Institute, IIT Foundation and the Pittsburgh Technology Council. “UC San Diego’s astounding growth and success are due in large part to its history of partnership with and support from the San Diego community,” Yudof said in the press release. “Pradeep understands the importance of these connections and will foster and expand them.”

successful. “I honestly believe that it was one of the most successful rallies we’ve had,” Goodrich said. “We had 400 new Republican registrations last night, which is many, many more than they typically get at these types of rallies.” A coalition that included students, the Public Education Coalition and members of the public protested Paul’s speech. The students organized through a Facebook event called “Protest Ron Paul Speech at UCSD.” According to Public Education Coalition member Nikolai Smith, about 30 students showed up in protest. “I think it is important to challenge anybody that comes who is trying to advocate the privatization of universities,” Smith said. “Our university has seen its fees go up, as our university is becoming privatized, so we are there to fight back.” The coalition handed out pamphlets detailing their disagreements with Paul’s beliefs. The pamphlets also stated the PEC’s efforts to prevent the University of California from becoming a privatized system. “Just being out there, having many faculty and staff members approach us and thank us for being there, for providing sort of an alternate presence — that was very good,” Smith said. Paul currently has 83 delegates. He would need 1,144 delegates to secure the Republican nomination.

The lack of religious diversity at Acts2Fellowship’s intellectual lecture event called “Coexist” indicates a need for educational religious dialogue at UCSD.

By Ayan Kusari • Staff Writer
n Friday, April 4, Christian student group Acts2Fellowship held a lecture on using logic when approaching religion, titled “Coexist?” in Center Hall. Despite its confusing advertising, the talk was a polite appeal for students to be thoughtful and logical rather than an attempt to preach the supremacy of a single religion. This event brings up the overarching need for UCSD to facilitate more discussion of religion in a scholarly way, since it is such an integral part of students’ lives. The way it was designed, the advertising for the event likely confused students about its intent. Posters
depicted the word “COEXIST” written out in religious symbols and the provocative question “Are all religions equally true?” This can be easily interpreted as a promotion of Christianity as the truest religion. Such a suggestion would be enough to make students of other faiths uncomfortable — especially since Christians constitute the single largest religious group on campus. In order avoid confusions like this, A2F could team up with other religious orgs next time to reach a broader audience and convey an unbiased view. Despite these misconceptions, Kim did not argue for or against any particular religion in his speech. Rather, he argued that belief in multiple religions

was a logical impossibility. He pointed out that one could not believe in both Christianity and Buddhism, because Christianity’s tenets are theism, afterlife, and involvement, whereas the tenets of Buddhism are atheism, reincarnation, and detachment — exact opposites. Kim said it was not his place to judge which religion was absolutely correct. Rather, his purpose in pointing out the incompatibility of various religions was to guard against what he calls “buffetline religion” which means you can’t create a god as an image of yourself because then you won’t grow spiritually. Kim’s reasoned, intellectual consideration of the issues leading to his dismissal of religious syncretism is admirable,

QUICK TAKES
Beginning Fall 2012, Plaza Cafe and Ocean view terrace will close on weekends in an effort to save money, but both Dining halls along with Foodworx will have extended weekday hours.
Students Will Need Weekend Options
Time to Stop Opening New Food Places
Closures are Smart Financial Move
Beginning Fall 2012, Ocean View Terrace and Plaza will be closed on weekends in order to extend their weekday hours without raising prices on food. Though slightly inconvenient for students living in Revelle and Marshall, there are still quality options available to them as long as the dining halls and markets nearby are able to compensate for the extra influx of students they will receive on weekends. Marshall students are most opportunely located for next year’s closure. Not only are they positioned between two full-service dining halls, Pines and Café Ventanas, but they will also still have the luxury of the open-late Goody’s within the boundaries of their own college. Unfortunately, it’s mostly Revelle students who will get the short end of the stick in Housing, Dining and Hospitality’s new plan. Besides Roger’s Place and Market (which doesn’t serve hot items), the only dining hall close to them is Pines. The weekend closures will not be a big deal as long as the remaining dining halls, especially the ever-popular Pines, make accommodations to handle the increased numbers of students over the weekends. More staff will need to be scheduled for the weekend to make sure lines stay short, and fresh food remains readily available. It’s common knowledge that because dining halls have less traffic on the weekends, food can end up sitting under heat lamps for longer than they should have to be. An effort to improve the quality of food options on weekends must happen. As long as accommodations are made, walking a little extra to the next closest dining hall will only be a minor inconvenience to most students.
Housing, Dining and Hospitality Services (HDH) will soon close two dining halls on weekends, while extending weekday hours. Closing Plaza and Ocean View Terrace during slow hours may be fiscally favorable, but the creation of new inconvenient “specialty” dining locations is counterproductive. Recently, various dining locations like Roots, The Bistro, Club Med and the brand new Café 88 have opened across campus, featuring modern architecture and unique dishes — but limited hours of service. These places aren’t as useful to students as the main dining halls. Roots, for example, serves vegan food that only appeals to a certain portion of the campus population. And while the Bistro is a nice luxury, it is also an unnecessary one. Furthermore, none of these sites are open on weekends, and all close in the early afternoon on Fridays. These sites are inconvenient for students because of their minimal hours and locations on the outskirts of the main campus. Constructing specialty dining locations has cost HDH thousands of dollars — Roots itself cost over $790,000 to build. If HDH is at such a loss that it must resort to closing a couple of dining halls completely on the weekends, it should not be investing money into new, limited dining ventures. Specialty dining halls are not vital and are viewed by students as only a substitute to the main campus dining halls. HDH may be in a strap for cash, but it needs to reevaluate how it is allocating its funds. Refraining from building specialty dining locations is a lot wiser than cutting funds from the dining halls that already exist.
In an ongoing struggle to balance dining hall hours and its budget, the Housing, Dining and Hospitality (HDH) staff and the Undergraduate On-Campus Housing and Dining Advisory Committee decided on Feb. 27 to close down Ocean View Terrace (OVT) and Plaza on the weekends starting Fall 2012. Closing a couple dining halls is a strong financial move (fewer total operating hours in the school year), considering a small minority of students eat there on the weekends anyway. These two dining halls will also open 30 minutes earlier and close an hour later on weekdays. However, 39 percent of students eat at Pines on the weekends according to HDH Executive Director Mark Cunningham, implying that a majority of students from Revelle already choose to eat at a dining hall other than Plaza. This is an apt financial move for the school because most students have options to go to other dining halls other than the one in their college, which they apparently often enjoy more. This move will allow HDH to cut down on the costs of extra electricity, staff and surpluses of food by opening for fewer total hours. The closures also will not affect demand on the weekdays. Students will still be able to go to these two dining halls during the week, and since the demand is far less on the weekends, HDH will reap many benefits from their decision. Ultimately, the benefits of more hours during the week for OVT and Plaza Cafe outweigh the costs of them closing down on the weekends.

A lot of people don’t like hoppy or dark beers because of their strong, bitter or roasty taste. Instead, they prefer generic sissy lagers that taste like water. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that. I can appreciate a good light beer. But there’s something in these rich, robust flavored brews that you should really know about. Within these carefully crafted microbrews is a compound derived from flowering hops, Xanthohumol (XN), that is chemoprotective, antiinflammatory and anti-carcinogenic. Almost 200 scientific papers have been published on this compound and how it is a natural therapeutic for breast cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, leukemia, neuroprotection, liver inflammation, etc. Many of the pioneering studies came out of Germany, one of the major beer countries of the world. Originally, hops were added to beer as a preservative. The India Pale Ale (IPA) had a significantly larger amount of hops to prevent beer spoilage while on the ocean voyage from England to India. Now, brewers just add hops for the taste and stabilization. Because of the brewing process, you can’t drink enough XN in a regular beer for it to be therapeutic. When the grains and hops are boiled, the most therapeutic form, XN, is converted into a less therapeutic form, isoXN. What a waste. In 2005, a German scientist took a break from his regular biochemical and biomedical research to develop a method to brew a beer with 20 times greater XN than regular beer. What he figured out was that the hoppiest beers don’t actually contain the most XN. Instead, dark beers that contain roasted barley, such as stouts and porters, actually had the highest amount of XN in them. It’s believed that the roasted malt extracts uniquely contain “heavier” compounds that bind XN and protect it from the conversion to isoXN during boiling. The literature states that dark beers (like the Imperial Russian Stout) can get up to roughly 20 percent as much XN as the beer that Wunderlich (the German scientist) created. But if you want to make a beer with as much XN as he did, you’re going to have to make it yourself. Obviously there are homebrew kits available online, and YouTube is an excellent resource. But keep in mind that you are at UCSD. Porter’s pub at UCSD hosts a home brew club that meets and brews a couple times a month. Within our community, we should have all the tools necessary to brew the most potent cancer-fighting beer possible.

Open Discussion of Religion Can Improve Tolerance ▶ tolerance, from page 4
not offensive. Indeed, lively intellectual discussion of the religious issues that bind members of the campus of all faiths is exactly what UCSD needs to promote greater understanding among the different ethnic and religious groups on campus. A 2011 cross-sectional study by John White and Patrick Lowenthal on academic discourse and religion published in the Review of Higher Education found that religious discourse is essential for campus unity, especially in campuses that are ethnically and culturally diverse. More Kim-style lectures are exactly what this campus needs. Our campus — 24 percent white, 49 percent Asian, 14 percent Latino, with 61 individual ethnic clubs and 83
individual religious organizations — is incredibly diverse. But there is a real risk of insularism on a campus with so many small groups. It is perfectly possible to go through four years here without interacting with anyone too differently-minded. Talks like Kim’s may even have a quantifiably positive effect on the student body, if implemented more widely. According to the 2009 study, “Teenagers’ Perspectives on the Role of Religion in Their Lives” conducted by researcher Pille Vilk, college students who have learned about religious diversity as a part of their education are more tolerant, and more open to dialogue on religious issues. To this end, more speaker events like Kim’s should be paired with more opportunities for students to learn
about religions on campus. There are no fewer than 176 courses offered by the Religion Department at UCSD focused on Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Taoism, as well as smaller traditions — there should be something for students of all backgrounds and interests. To prevent misunderstandings and increase unity among students, campus religious organizations should take steps to educate people of all belief systems. If it does, it will have something truly incredible on its hands — a means for UCSD students to learn to approach religion in a reasonable, logical way.

Dear Editor, For-profit colleges account for 10 percent of students but 45 percent of defaults on loan repayment; first, separate the criminal, the merely bogus, the inadequate... or if that can’t be done...just stop giving out money upfront to CEOs of educational corporations. Stop student aid to students at religious institutions. Two, do something bad to those on-line entrepreneurs who make money hand over fist from GIs and their dependents under robust and transferable Post-9/11 education benefits. Criminalize campaign donations to elected officials from CEOs at for-profit colleges who take millions in stock options and/ or pay for Super Bowl TV ads.

Public Desire to Retaliate Needs to be Reevaluated Dear Editor, I sympathize with Mr. Ashton Cohen’s recent issues involving a picture posted on Facebook. It sucks that some people misinterpreted the photo of him. After all, I’m sure he had good (if still unexplained) reasons for thinking that the clothes he bought in Dubai were a great costume choice. But it also sucks that there are lots of racist caricatures of Arabs out there that might lead some to jump to conclusions. It sucks that we often hold public figures, even those just in student government, under scrutiny
and that his name got dragged through the mud. But it also sucks that less privileged individuals often feel like public officials and let them down. It sucks that his Muslim friend who posted the photo was shocked at its reception. But it also sucks that others’ Muslim friends were shocked at its content. It sucks that people who disagree with him on the topic of Israel politicized a presumably honest mistake. But it also sucks that, for many of the less privileged, daily life is highly political. And it sucks that he was intimidated by the checkpoint simulation on Library Walk. But it also sucks that some people have to live in a police state. I am reminded of the aftermath of 9/11. I think the first reaction of the majority of the American people, anger, was natural and reasonable. The second response, the desire to retaliate, while perhaps still natural, was far less reasonable. It has led to a never-ending “War on Terror,” far more deaths and the monstrosity of Guantanamo. Might a more reasonable second response have been to ask ourselves what we have done to provoke the enmity of much of the Middle East? Perhaps they also feel like they must retaliate for something? Maybe we should try to understand why that is before continuing the cycle of violence. —Rene Patnode Ph.D., Department of Sociology ▶ The Guardian welcomes letters from its readers.

LAW OF THE LAND The disciplinary process is hardly over after you get written up— it’s a good idea to know what happens behind the scenes. By Mina Nilchian • Focus Editor | Illustration by Rebekah Hwang
S
un God Festival is a time when UCSD’s notoriously well-behaved student population participates in the rowdy behavior typical of the average college campus. So it’s in preparation of all the write-ups that will inevitably come with this celebration that the A.S. Office of Student Advocacy and the A.S. Judicial board will spend Week 7 distributing pamphlets titled, “Know Your Rights & UCSD Student Conduct Code.” The pamphlet gives advice to students in situations involving law enforcement, advising students “don’t lie,” “do show ID” and “do make sure an officer knows you do not agree to be searched,” instructing that even if you still get searched, that “you make your opposition known.” Bryce Farrington, Eleanor Roosevelt College student and vice president of student advocacy, works with 12 other student advocates under the Associated Students Office
of the President to represent students in disciplinary hearings and other issues relating to the UCSD Student Conduct Code, which is currently under revision. When a student feels they have the grounds to protest the sanctions held against them by administration, student advocacy is one place they can go. “If the student doesn’t want to accept responsibility, they go through a formal hearing process and that’s in front of a judicial board or an administrative review,” Farrington said. “Normally the director of student conduct and that process will decide whether or not they’re responsible.” Throughout the year, the Office of Student Advocacy handles both academic cases, in which a student has been accused of breaking the Student Code of Academic Integrity, as well as non-academic cases that include violations of the Student Code of Conduct, the comprehensive set of
rules that govern student behavior at UCSD. Among the non-academic cases, Farrington estimates that about nine out of 10 of the ones the office of student advocacy works with are alcohol-related. In cases in which a student is accused of breaking the Student Conduct Code, the residential dean of the college that student attends then issues a set of sanctions for the student in question, such as being put on academic probation, or attending a seminar. According to Farrington, many students aren’t aware of the fact that they don’t always have to accept the dean’s sanctions. Farrington says that this year, however, has had an especially high number of non-academic cases reaching the advocacy board — this could be attributed to recent efforts by the See advocacy, page 5

Economics major Sean Couey is on a quest to find students with style.
M
arshall transfer student Sean Couey always has his camera on hand. Since the onset of his street-style website, showmeUCSD, Couey has been ready at any time to capture the fashion that spruces up the reputably dull campus of UCSD. Launched about two weeks ago, his website already documents a growing collection of the diverse styles and trends that are being sported across campus — from the aisles of Geisel to the forest of Eucalyptus trees. So far, 25 students have been featured in snapshots with brief captions detailing their outfits, some wearing unique thrift store finds and accessories with others dressed in vibrant colors and patterns. Couey, an economics major from Cupertino, was inspired by the streetstyle blogs that he frequents daily, like The Sartorialist, and thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool if we had one for UCSD?” But before that, it was his study abroad trip to Milan in 2009 that first triggered his eye for fashion. “People there just take a lot of
time and put a lot of effort into what they’re wearing and how they present themselves, so it really shows,” Couey said. “Walking down the street, you can tell everyone purposefully dresses a certain way, and everything in their look is just so. Even the little details are really planned out.” From his exposure to Milan’s notorious fashion scene, Couey developed his personal take on fashion as a deliberate form of self-expression, or in his own words, a visual resume. “It’s a good way to let people know who you are because a lot of times, you don’t have the chance to meet people and have a face-to-face conversation with them; the only thing you have is that you see them visually passing by,” Couey said. He noted how anyone can simply throw on sweatpants and a sweatshirt (admittedly a culprit of this himself), which is why he appreciates those who put forth the effort to express themselves through a certain aesthetic style, whatever style that may be. “There isn’t a particular style that
I really gravitate to; it’s just whenever I see something that I find interesting,” Couey said. “I’m always looking for new styles, and I love people who are already confident in the way that they’re dressing. It really shows in the pictures.” With his previous experience of keeping personal blogs, including one about the mechanics of mopeds, Couey claimed that it wasn’t too difficult to get his website started. But he acknowledges the input of fellow UCSD students, such as his roommate, Sixth College junior and computer science major Dennis Chen, who helped him put together the website. Couey hopes that showmeUCSD will soon catch on. “I told my friend the other day that my dream is to be in class, sitting in the back row, and I look down to see someone’s computer open and they’re looking at my website,” Couey said. — Stacey Chien Staff Writer

Administration seeks uniformity in on-campus law enforcement
▶ advocacy, from page 6
office of Student Conduct in directing students to the Office of Advocacy when they feel that they have grounds to contest their sanctions. “A majority of our cases are still academic,” Farrington said. “It used to be probably 80 percent academic and 20 percent non-academic and now that’s getting a little bit close to even. There’s been a four or five fold increase in non-academic cases this year.” The administration has also tried to implement more training to ensure more uniformity throughout campus law enforcement, but according to Farrington, the experience you have with law enforcement will still differ significantly depending on the college you live in. According to Farrington, the current director of student conduct, Ben White, is working to centralize the disciplinary process, and gets along pretty well with the current board of advocates — something he said “is not always the case.” “Our perspective is very different from the perspective of the administration and it has often been very much at odds with the administration,” Farrington said. One of the issues is the highly bureaucratic nature of the entire process, which includes administrators from multiple departments. A large part of the job of a student advocate is simply to decipher the tricky protocol
behind disciplinary action, as well as the Student Code of Conduct, which outlines rights for students. “There’s just multiple layers from the first notification. If you are an 18- or 19-year-old student and this is your first encounter with discipline at an institutional level, you have to go meet your dean [and] there’s multiple pages of email that are going to go back and forth in the process,” Farrington said. “It might not be clear to you as the student what your options are. A lot of students don’t realize that when they meet with the dean they don’t have to accept responsibility.” Farrington also notes a lack of accountability from the administration. “We find it very problematic when we have a student that was written up by an RSO and we go through the entire process of the judicial board hearing and when we go to the hearing, the RSO who reported the violation doesn’t even show up,” Farrington said. “The hearing still goes forward, even though we had questions for the RSO if the RSO’s story didn’t make any sense. That happens a lot actually.” Even among the different colleges, Farrington explained, implementation of discipline varies greatly, as certain deans and RSOs are more inclined to exercise disciplinary action than others. “The administration has a huge
amount of power to sanction students. You want to see that be treated with a lot of responsibility,” he said. Students can, and are urged to by the Office of Student Advocacy, to understand their rights and the rules of residential life by reading the conduct code at revisedcode.ucsd.edu. While the rules of student conduct are administrative regulations and are separate from state and federal laws, Farrington says that constitutional rights still apply to on-campus situations. For example, search and seizure is not allowed without reason — but any evidence of alcohol consumption or an “unsafe” living condition can warrant such search and seizure. The Office of Student Advocacy is limited to issues regarding the code itself. Often, non-academic cases will entail violations of state and federal law, which would fall under the jurisdiction of Student Legal Services. “Student legal services does a ton of great stuff about rent, parking and fines,” Farrington said. No residential deans, representatives from the Office of Student Conduct, or from the department of Residential Security could be reached for comment. Students can reach A.S. Student Advocacy at asadvocacy@ucsd.edu or (858) 534-5920. Readers can contact Mina Nilchian at mnilchia@ucsd.edu.

'TASTY TUESDAY' FREE WEEKLY COOKING DEMO - THE ZONE
What is the relationship between security and immigration to the U.S? How have security objectives factored into U.S. immigration policy? This talk will address present the strategic logic for U.S. immigration policy by identifying three general categories of security objectives that American officials have attempted to reach with immigration from the colonial era to the present-day: (1) foreign relations, (2) material and military interests, and (3) domestic security (prevent crime, espionage, and terrorism; epidemics; and ethnic violence). For more info, contact Peggy Chang at pechang@ucsd.edu or 858-822-0526. Presented by the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at UC San Diego.

Ultimately Gibbs shows and proves with his rhymes, which demonstrate the promise of a legend in the making. His skills, wit, and street credibility establish Freddie Gibbs as a true artist. He represents the Midwest, and anyone who relates to the struggle of inner city life.

NOLAN THOMAS/G uardian file
Tritons Advance to NCAA Super Regional ▶ softball, from page 12 allowing only four hits. UCSD went up 1–0 in the first inning, but collected three more runs in the fourth inning to secure the win. With Portugal on third and sophomore Emily McQuaid on second, Lesovsky singled for one RBI. McQuaid and Lesovsky were both brought home off a single by sophomore cleanup hitter Charly Swanberg.
game 3
Stuck in a win-or-go-home situation, the No. 24 Tritons knocked second-seed CSU Monterey Bay out of the national tournament on their home field, in the semifinal game. Sophomore All-CCAA second team selection Caitlin Brown recorded two solo home runs, while Lesovsky went yard in the top of the fifth inning for two RBI to cement a 5–0 win. UCSD first got on the board in the third inning, as McQuaid scored on a throwing error and Brown collected her first home run off of Monterey
pitcher Kylie Linnane. In the top of the fifth inning, with one out and one on, Lesovsky homered down the leftfield line to put the Tritons up 4–0. Brown’s homer in her third at bat secured the win for the Tritons.
game 4
UCSD took an early 2–0 lead in the top of the second inning, as Dixie State pitcher Mattie Snow walked the Tritons’ next two batters. Snow was relieved in favor of pitcher Lauren Folta, who allowed the Tritons only two hits in her subsequent five innings. With the score still 2–0, Brown came up big with a solo home run in the seventh inning to go up 3–0. The run was enough to stave off the Red Storm, who tallied two runs in their last turn at the plate.
game 5
The Tritons took the West Regional championship in five innings against the Red Storm in the second game of the double header.
Lesovsky collected an RBI in the top of the second inning to give UCSD a 1–0 lead. With Sykes on second and McQuaid on first, Lesovsky singled down the leftfield line to bring Sykes into score. McQuaid was moved over on a throwing error, and stole home to put the Tritons up 2–0. Red Storm pitcher Michelle Duncan found herself in a tight spot with bases loaded — Lesovsky on third, hitting Willmon with a pitch to put her on second and walking Brown—the right-hander gave up another run on a single by Swanberg. The Tritons loaded the bases in the fourth inning, picking up two runs as Duncan walked Romero and Sykes. With the 5–0 advantage, Portugal was brought up to bat. The freshman notched her first career home run and grand slam to put the Tritons up 9–0. UCSD picked up another run in the fifth inning to end the game on the mercy rule.

Grand Canyon went up 6-1 in the fifth inning off a double for one RBI. With one out and men on third and first, junior Richard Kilbury came in to relieve sophomore Justin Rahn.

fter taking the CCAA title to claim an automatic bid for the NCAA Division II West Regionals, UCSD has punched their ticket to the Super Regional round to be held this weekend May 11 to May 12 on the campus of CSU Dominguez Hills. Going into the tournament with the sixth-seed, the Tritons topped CCAA regular season champions second-seed CSU Monterey Bay as well as third-seed Dixie State en route to the West Region crown.
“We felt strong going in even against the teams we hadn’t seen this year,” UCSD head coach Patti Gerckens said. “All three teams were very difficult, but we believed that we would come out.” The No. 24 Tritons will be one of 16 teams to advance to the Super Regional competition, where UCSD will face CCAA squad No. 10 CSU Dominguez Hills. The Tritons took down the firstseeded Toros 1–0 in the opening game of the conference tournament on April 27. “The postseason brings out a different animal in everybody,”
Gerckens said. “For us right now I think that we’re playing really well. We’re trying to focus on doing the little things right, and at this point in the season, the teams that do that are going to be the teams that come out on top.”
game 1
Dixie State went up 1–0 in the bottom of the first inning, scoring an unearned run off a Triton error. UCSD came back in the fourth inning, as sophomore Mya Romero and freshmen Maria Sykes and Monique Portugal all singled to load the bases. Back at the top of the batting order with two outs, senior
Kris Lesovsky singled to centerfield to score Romero and Sykes. Dixie State tied the score with a homer from designated hitter Anna Cue in the fourth. The game remained tied until the sixth inning, as the Red Storm collected the winning run off another Triton error.
game 2
Senior pitcher Camille Gaito kept seventh-seed Montana State Billings scoreless in the second leg of the West Regionals. The ace recorded seven strikeouts in her seven innings, while See Softball, page 11

MEN’S SOCCER — Nearing the end of their spring season, the UCSD Men’s Soccer team topped Division-I UC Santa Barbara last Friday, 4–0 in Oxnard, Calif. The 4–0 rout featured scoring from around the roster. Sophomore 6-foot-5 forward Tsuk Haroush collected the first goal midway into the first half. The second goal came from sophomore Ian MacAuley. Junior forward Evan Walker tallied the third goal, while sophomore defender Alec Arsht capped off the
win with a penalty kick opportunity. The (10–0–8) Tritons failed to qualify for the CCAA conference tournament last season. However, the Tritons will return to the pitch next season with their entire roster intact, as the fully-manned UCSD squad outgunned a short-handed UCSB. “We came out very strong, and we proved to ourselves and everybody else that we can play with the best and beat the best,” sophomore goalkeeper Josh Cohen said. “If we can take the way we played yesterday and keep building on that for next Fall, we’ll definitely be going places.”
