Dr. Bruce Beutler shares the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology. By Laira Martin News Editor Revelle College alumnus and chair of the Department of Genetics at the Scripps Research Institute Dr. Bruce Beutler, 53, is sharing the 2011 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for his recent discoveries of how the immune system innately works. Beutler is currently in the process of leaving La Jolla to work at the University of Bruce Beutler Texas. Nobel Laureate “I noticed that I had a new email message,” Beutler said in an interview with Nobel Media. “And, I squinted at it and I saw that the title line was ‘Nobel Prize,’ so I thought I should give close attention to that. And, I opened it and it was from Goran Hansson, and it said that I had won the Nobel Prize, and so I was thrilled.” Beutler earned his share of the award for his contribution in the discovery of receptor proteins that recognize bacterial microorganisms which then activate immunity. Beutler shares one half of the prize with Jules Hoffmann of the University See nobel, page 3

Liquor law violations and burglaries sweep annual campus crime report. By John Baldwin Contributing Writer

T

he UC Police Department’s Annual Security Report for 2011 revealed there were 41 recorded instances of burglary on the UCSD campus and its affiliated areas in 2010.

first recorded murder on the UCSD campus in recent history. In addition, there were 57 liquor law arrests in 2010 from 86 in 2009, and 16 drug arrests in 2010 from 40. This is largely due to changes in policing outlook for major events such as the Sun God Festival. “Enforcement of alcohol laws [arrests] were down, due largely to a change in tactics and philosophy at the Sun God Festival – with greater emphasis on keeping officers in the field to ensure public safety rather than focusing on arrests,” King said. “Enforcement actions were used more

“Theft of unsecured property, [including] laptops, continues to be an issue.” Police Chief Orville King said in an email. King emphasized the importance of using locks and keeping one’s property safe to prevent burglary. The University has successfully reduced annual motor vehicle thefts on campus, which dropped from 54 to 24 since 2008. The report indicates one instance of murder on the UCSD campus on Oct. 29, when the dead body of Carlsbad resident Lorena Gonzalez was found in a burning van in Lot 701. This is the

The report’s counts for liquor laws discipline rose from five to 1,050 and the counts for drug laws discipline from 17 to 94 over the past year due to the inclusion of new disciplinary data from the See Crime, page 3

UCSD PD Deems Replica Guns a Campus Threat

By Aimly Sirisarnsombat Staff Writer The UCSD Police Department recently faced two incidents involving student possession and misuse of replica guns on campus, both violations of the Student Conduct Code. The first case was reported to have occurred at 2:10 a.m. on Sept. 17. Allegedly, the student pointed a replica toy firearm at a Residential Security Officer who was investigating an unrelated incident in a residence hall. The second case, which occurred at 1:07 a.m. on Sept. 20, involved three students walking around campus carrying replica toy guns. The students were later caught and the replica weapons were surrendered. Members of the UCSD PD have been trained to respond defensively and with deadly force if campus safety is threatened by a student’s posses-

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Scent Could Enhance Television Viewing By Kashi Khorasani Staff Writer The future of television entertainment may be upon us. In partnership with Samsung, a UCSD research team published an article in the international edition of Angewandte Chemie, a German scientific journal, proving that smell can realistically be added to visual entertainment systems such as television and cellular phones. Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Sungho Jin’s research brings us one step closer to an

odor-enhanced television experience. In April, Jin and his team completed a two-year research experiment on a system that can give off specific odors on command. Jin does not expect any difficulty programming this system to give off scents in synchronization with images on a television. Jin’s system utilizes a number of isolated elastic polymer-based chambers containing different liquids. These odorous solutions go through electrically induced heating and are subsequently released in gaseous form. Jin — a nanoengineering professor

— has placed a great deal of scrutiny upon the materials and the methods used to shape them. The chambers are made of a silicone elastomer, which is a rubberlike polymer that offers a variety of benefits to the user. These perks include mechanical elasticity, proper circuit isolation between divergent components and resistance in extreme temperatures. The latter attribute is particularly advantageous considering the liquids must essentially be boiled in See Sci/tech, page 3

Much Ado About Hullabaloo — A.S. Revamps Fall Fest This Year A.S. Council had a wonderful bonding moment at the beginning of the meeting when A.S. Graphics Studio Senior Designer Alfredo Vilano gathered everyone around the table for the first A.S. family photo of the year. While everyone could agree, I’m sure, that the moment was Natalie Covate adorable, many ncovate@ucsd.edu of the council members were caught off-guard – there had been heavy rain falling right before the meeting. Don’t worry, A.S. Council, the picture probably looks great, and all that hair ruffling truly made you guys shine. Next, A.S. Council continued with everyone’s favorite A.S. segment, Council Member of the Week. “Today, I will be bestowing the all-too-glittery sash to our AVP of Athletic Relations, Aurora Lopez,” Vice President of Student Life Meredith Madnick said. Lopez received her award shortly after announcing that after next Friday’s Bear Garden, A.S. Council will be handing out free swim caps to students attending the Men’s Water Polo game. Let’s face it: All sports fans need an official swim cap. Like all loving families, there was a lot of bickering last night, especially with regards to the new election bylaws. A.S. Council was faced with some philosophical questions: How do you define loitering? How do you separate Student Organizations and Slates? Is uniform wording necessary to uniform understanding with phrases like “may be,” “shall be,” or “could be?” So many hard decisions were made that night. The pressure was just too much for a lot of council members. Many

even had to excuse themselves during the discussion. Over an hour later, the new bylaws were set in stone and the Price Center Forum erupted in applause. Then, keeping the excitement alive, A.S. President Alyssa Wing and A.S. Vice President of Finance Kevin Hoang gave an informational budget presentation. Hoang described the A.S. budget as a big cloud of money, meaning that it’s all one budget instead of an allocated amount for each department. “So it’s like a cloud, and we make it rain,” Wing said. “I just thought of that just now.” Sophomores, juniors and seniors might be wondering when the details of Fall Fest will be released. Today, A.S. Associated Vice President of Concerts and Events Oliver Zhang announced that Fall Fest is going to be replaced by a new event called Hullabaloo. “[A hullabaloo is] a loud noise or clamor,” Zhang explained. “I don’t know [why we chose it], it’s just cute.” Unlike Fall Fest, which consists of three acts on one stage, Hullabaloo will have a main stage, student organization booths, food trucks and free carnival rides. So, it’s basically like a mini Sun God mixed with Bear Garden and the fair. Hullabaloo indeed. “[Fall Fest] is an event that needed a new life,” Zheng said. The teaser trailer for the event will be released this Friday. The meeting closed shortly after a round of pats on the back for conducting a short, productive meeting. Congratulations, A.S. Council. We are all very proud of you.

Alumnus and Nobel Laureate Leaves Scripps for New Job in Texas ▶ nobel, from page 1 of Strasbourg in France — the other half was awarded to Ralph Steinman of Rockefeller University in New York, who died on Sept. 30, three days before receiving the Nobel Prize on Oct. 3. Beutler is leaving the Scripps Research Institute to accept the position of professor and director of the Center for the Genetics of Host Defense at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Beutler’s position at UT will begin in Nov. 2011.

“I will certainly miss Scripps, but the opportunity at UT Southwestern is enormous,” Beutler said in the Oct. 3 article “Scripps Geneticist Wins Nobel Prize” in The San Diego Union Tribune.” There are new challenges ahead that I just couldn’t turn down.” Beutler graduated from UCSD at age 18 in 1976 and then attended University of Chicago for medical school. His father is Scripps Research hematologist Ernest Beutler, who spent time in La Jolla researching treatments

for rare forms of cancer prior to dying in Oct. 2008 from lymphoma. Beutler and Hoffmann will travel to Stockholm on Dec. 10 to accept the prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences which includes a cash prize of about $1 million dollars — some of which will go to the Steinman’s estate. Beutler could not be reached for comment. Readers can contact Laira Martin at lmm002@ucsd.edu

Burglary Rates Remain Stagnant while Liquor Law Arrests Drop ▶ crime, from page 1 Student Conduct Office and UC Police Department officials. “These changes reflect a more effective, efficient and thorough way of reporting these violations,” King said. King added that the sample size and crime statistics made it difficult to estimate long-term crime trends. “Numbers of crimes in other categories [besides burglary] were relatively unchanged in 2011 from previous years,” King said. The report contains statistics

describing counts of crimes at UCSD for 2008, 2009 and 2010 using information compiled from the UCSD Police Department, the Campus Security Authorities, the Student Conduct Office and other campus areas. The statistics are separated into 15 categories, from less severe crimes such as liquor law arrests to the severe crimes such as homicide, and are organized by the location of the crime. The reports only take into account crimes reported to the campus police and security authorities and do not

take account for unreported crimes or those reported to other agencies. The UCSD police department is legally required to release the annual report as part of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act, a federal law passed in 1990. Reports of liquor law arrests dropped from 86 to 57 since 2009 and drug law arrests dropped from 40 to 16 since 2009. Readers can contact John Baldwin at jcbaldwi@ucsd.edu

order to be released as gasses. The polymer-based material is produced via a cross-linked technique, which prevents solvents from entering or damaging the chambers. Plotting the controller system design on a Cartesian coordinate system allows researchers to fit more switches on a smaller surface area. The efficiency of this method requires far less controllers than a system in which there is a single dedicated switch for each odor. In future research, Jin plans to explore a 3D matrix which would depend on less controllers, further minimizing the size of the device.

“This is a very good way for companies to market their products during commercials,” Jin said. Whether the masses have actually displayed a large demand for an olfactory-enriched entertainment experience, innovators have worked on similar projects for some time now. Osmologist Hans Luabe worked alongside a film crew in 1960 to create Smell-O-Vision, one of the first ever such systems. However, this creation could only release 30 scents and did not function properly. A few other attempts made since then have failed, until now. “It is quite doable,” said Jin.

The apparatus developed at UCSD, with financial support from Samsung Electronics, is considered to be a conceptual research model. After further research, all that is left to do is to create a realistic concept that can be attached to a television set. Jin addressed how the collaboration between he and his fellow researchers made a big impact on smell-based technology. “When you get together and share ideas, things just click,” Jin said.

OPINION ON THE RECORD

Given the generally more stable career opportunities available to students graduating with science and tech degrees, what is the value of obtaining a degree in the humanities and social sciences?

Social Sciences Provide a Wider Perspective

The Humanities Teach Personal Discovery

C President Mark Yudof ’s question last year, “Our businesses are doing well, but who is going to pay the salary of the English department?”, created a dustup across the 10 UC campuses. His backpedaling about the product of a liberal arts education and the obvious importance of the humanities and social sciences only raised more doubt about the extent to which a UC education was about to be high-cost vocational training and the UC system a series of private corporations. Moreover, students and their families, faced with rising fees and the inevitability of post-graduation debt, logically asked themselves about the value of pursuing a major that could not return a decent income. This is a logical response to bleak economic forecasts. But it should not be forgotten that those disciplines and majors that do not “generate revenue” in terms of federal and private funding generate something of equal importance: the ability to understand how societies and cultures came to be, how they work and how they can be transformed. The hanging of a noose in Geisel library during Winter 2010 produced a number of reactions. Those students who understood the historical significance of the noose were understandably outraged. Because they lacked sufficient knowledge in the history of race relations in the United States, other students were clueless. “Why are the African American students overacting?” they asked. “Just get over it,” they advised. This latter group of students was in dire need of humanities and social science courses. Our historical past is never really completely past. Its remnants reappear in our present and will resurface in our collective future. Former UCSD professor of philosophy Herbert Marcuse once wrote: “For if ‘education’ is more than training and preparing for the existing society, it means not only enabling students to know and understand the facts which make up reality but also to know and understand the factors that establish the facts so that they can change the existing inhuman reality.” Today, there is a real danger that students enter higher education as trainees for predetermined majors and careers. They are fitted with disciplinary blinders and become indifferent to the pressing issues of the day and the historical legacies that created them. But many young people sense strongly that many aspects of existing reality are unjust. They feel the need for spaces where they can learn to understand those injustices, debate their causes with their peers and chart a course to a more equitable future. This is precisely why the humanities and social sciences continue to matter. — Jorge Mariscal Professor of Literature and Co-Director of DOC

t’s not difficult for a student with a humanities or social science degree to understand the real question that’s being asked: “can I get a stable job with a degree in history or ethnic studies?” Coming out of an elite public university like UCSD, I would say: yes. I got a humanities degree, and now I have a job. But that question (and my answer) doesn’t have much to do with the greater value of the humanities and social sciences, as I see it. First of all, you should know that from the beginning, the “specialization” of the humanities as a source of knowledge wasn’t intended to create a specialized profession in the Matrix. It was designed to help people figure out ways to break out of the Matrix: to go about bringing its destruction, or allowing it to work in the service of the Human Project — a project to ceaselessly re-imagine what it means to be human, and to figure out what we have to do in order to make self-determining cultures and communities possible in a world of mass destruction, genocide, overproduction, profit-for-profit’s-sake, religious fundamentalism, environmental catastrophe, and all the psychological, political and social cancers that arise from these. Some people get to that project through the sociological study on the use of cell phones for education in India; some get to it through the set design of a play by Wole Soyinka. So, although my students in the social sciences and humanities end up entering all kinds of professions — from medicine and law to web content management, from journalism and advocacy to business entrepreneur or community service, from public health to education, and of course, the creative arts — my ultimate goal is not to “teach to the profession” but to give students the intelligence and courage to discover their vocation on their own terms. Have the courage to use your own reason. See something of yourself in others, and others in you. Think globally, act locally. You need certain skills to do these: critical thinking, historical method, foreign language competency, reading analysis, communication, the power of rhetorical and artistic self-expression, and intellectual empathy. That’s pretty much what we teach. The rest is up to you. — John D. Blanco Professor of Literature

EDITORIAL

Drafting Equality Senate Bill 185 would allow colleges to recieve racial information on college applicants, but ignores a critical disadvantage for students — socioeconomic status.

A

full 15 years after the state banned affirmative action with Proposition 209, Gov. Jerry Brown has the chance to overturn the controversial statute with a new bill. The bill’s proponents are careful to emphasize that Senate Bill 185 will not completely overturn Proposition 209 — the wording of the bill allows the University of California and California State universities to merely “receive” data on an applicant’s racial background as long as no preference is given. But, as the UC Berkeley College Republicans were quick to point out in their controversial bake sale protest, it is hogwash. Universities, once they receive

this information, will likely use it to strengthen the ethnic diversity of their incoming freshmen classes. Whether using race in admissions is a good move or not is still up for debate. In the debate on equal opportunity, our Editorial Board falls on the side of equal opportunity. We believe that leveling the playing field for disadvantaged students is crucial to extending a shot at higher education for greater numbers of students. But this is not to say that our board unequivocally backs SB 185. While the bill has its merits — the bill’s See Senate Bill, page 5

The Steaks are High When It’s All You Can Eat

A

t some point between zero and first week, I became disillusioned with the process behind campus free food. Don’t get me wrong — I was still subscribed to that free food Facebook group. But my tolerance for awkward pleasantries with strangers was weakening — as was my ability to stomach tepid pieces of Round Table pizza.

Free

for All Margaret yau m1yau@ucsd.edu

After polling my coworker’s suggestions, I was ready to spend money on the exact opposite of free food. More specifically, I was ready to drop twenty-something dollars on the gluttonous meat-orgy known as all-youcan-eat Korean BBQ. There are no tricks in all you can eat Korean BBQ. Well, except sometimes, with the meat. Seriously, choose a decent restaurant. Our choice of Manna Korean BBQ in Convoy revealed no food secrets, thankfully. But between cooking and ordering and waving over a waitress for more, the strategy behind a Korean meat buffet is to eat your money’s worth. As an avid buffet-fearer, I did not feel ready to ingest $20 worth of meat and pickles. My friends obviously did not feel the same way. One had been fasting for a full day. Another had a bottomless pit for a stomach. And yet another was male. Ten plates of meat later, it was obvious who had won the game of eating your money’s worth. I’ll give you a hint: it wasn’t me. I clutching my stomach in between delicate sips of barley tea, recoiling in horror as my friends contemplated ordering their 11th plate of meat. As we bemoaned the state of our stomachs (#firstworldproblems), my friends and I reflected on lessons learned from that night: First, red meat is the most expensive thing on the menu — don’t go too heavy on the chicken. If you want your money’s worth, order expensive cuts like sirloin steak and pork belly. Second, that being said, the included side dishes are usually phenomenal. Try the egg custard, try the tofu stew, but remember to not fill up on rice. Third, don’t try to screw with the restaurant. They have clearly seen every trick in the book and their rules are clearly laid on their menu. Stocking your meat freezer at home by ordering extra take-home plates of meat will land you a fat surcharge. Everybody at your table has to order the same option — all meat or the pricier seafood version — in case the splurger with the shrimp shares. Fourth, don’t wear clothes that are too restrictive. That’s pretty much a given for any buffet, and unless you want to make a show of loosening your belt one notch, stick to the elastic waistband. Jackets can also be used to hide burgeoning food babies. These lessons are secondary to the actual experience of all you can eat Korean BBQ. I may have spent an excessive amount of time there worrying about actually eating $20 worth of food (I probably didn’t), but in the end, being there with good company, good food and endless amounts of meat and pickles was worth any price. Kind of.

background of a student can adversely affect their SAT scores, according to “Colleges urged to use socioeconomic affirmative action,” a June 16 article in USA Today. The gap can be as great as 784 SAT points between the wealthiest and the most disadvantaged students. Colleges can offer all the financial aid they want, but until they actively admit lower-income students on a broader admissions matrix, socially and economically disadvantaged students will continue to be concentrated in the least-selective schools. Undoubtedly, Senate Bill 185 is a contentious issue, if the Sept. 27 Berkeley College Republican bake sale is any indication. Still, no matter what the main defining factor in college admissions ends up being, equal opportunity must be provided to level the playing field for disadvantaged students. The bill’s author ought to reconsider the bill’s focus to center around a student’s economic background — not just their race, ethnicity or gender.

writers recognized that after Prop. 209 passed, admissions for black and Latino students dipped — its exclusive focus on race, ethnicity and gender ignore an equally important category: socioeconomic background. The effects of Proposition 209 have been mixed. Consequential changes in the racial makeup on University of California campuses have varied — while the Asian population has dramatically risen, the black and Latino populations have dropped. Fierce opponents of the bill have denounced the systemwide admission process of judging each student by the same admission bar, no matter the economic background, because it allegedly perpetuates a racially tiered society. We agree. Different backgrounds shape opportunities. Socioeconomic background is especially important — more importantly, it is not necessarily dependent on race. Considered alone, the economic

Dealing with a Bipolar Environmental Crisis

Dear Editor, We are currently facing devastating environmental crises, and these are due to: (1) human overpopulation and (2) over-consumption with consequent waste. In October, our population will reach 7 billion and it continues to grow at a rate of 3.2 people (births

over deaths) per second,140 people/ min, 200,000/day, 80 million/year. Worldwide, an estimated 850 million people suffer from malnutrition or are starving; the world food surplus would last only two months if we share the resources equally, the lowest in decades. 50,000 people die from starvation every day; 16 million per year. Thus, 12 percent of the world population is lacking the nutrition it needs. Yet we Americans (and others) suffer from obesity and overeating; we use a million plastic bottles/min, a million plastic bags/min, 100,000 aluminum cans/min and retire (lose, break or throw away) 500,000 cell phones/day. In San Diego, we generate 1.4 million tons of waste per year. The 6,400,000 car accidents/year in the U.S. kill 45,000 people, injure 3 million and cost $230 billion. Californians use 100 billion gallons of gas/year; SUVs and pick-ups are two times more likely to kill another driver, four times more likely to roll over and 20 percent more likely to kill a kid. Auto crashes are the leading cause of death for the age group 6-27 years. Almost all bike fatalities result from car accidents. Do we really need to consume and waste like this? —Milton Saier Professor of Molecular Biology ▶ The Guardian welcomes letters from its readers.

PLAY REVIEW

t’s back. It’s finally back. The cast and producers of Arrested Development are in talks with Showtime and Netflix about shooting and airing a short season of the cultclassic television show leading up to

Jumping the

the release of a feature-length film. I very nearly blue myself in excitement. I’m sure somewhere out there, Tobias did too. It’s widely agreed upon that FOX’s cancellation of the show was the biggest little mistake the network has ever made (other notable victims include most things Joss Whedon-related.) After the show’s second season, grassroots campaigns — with one aptly titled SOB (Save Our Bluths) — sprung up in an attempt to save the show. Their success in getting a third season sadly ended there — the show was cancelled after a short season. Since then, co-creator Mitchell Hurwitz dropped hints about a movie, and the show’s stars expressed interest from time to time. Showtime even had plans to save the show in 2006. But while this sent fans all atwitter, nothing ever happened — until now. From the outside, it may seem difficult to understand why fans adore a show about prickly, self-absorbed characters who end up doing incredibly stupid, self-possessed things. But part of the show’s charm is its sheer and utter absurdity. It’s like being the sole sober person in a room full of increasingly drunk crazies. It’s funny, it’s kind of weird and sometimes you don’t even catch the joke the first time around. And the inside jokes — those are references that only devout viewers can understand. By devout viewers, I mean everybody from the man who dropped $350 on one of Buster’s prosthetic hands, to the less crazy but equally devoted fans who have seen every season on Netflix. Or the ones who attended the New Yorker Festival’s “Bluth Family Reunion” and watched as the cast did the infamous “chicken dance.” Among the most notable quotes are “Who would want to R her?”, “Get rid of the Seaward” and “She was his cousin, Maeby.” These recurring inside jokes and the consequential feeling of community amongst the show’s fans created a solid base that has carried on even today. After all, who else would be reposting the announcement on Tumblr or retweeting the Entertainment Weekly article that started it all. As for the actual proposed eightor nine-episode run, each episode is expected to serve as a catch-up for an individual character. Hurwitz apparently realized while writing the script that after he had adequately caught up with every single character, the movie was halfway over. This way, the television series would act as a backstory to the proposed movie sequel. It’s a solid plan — one that I hope will happen. The cast has even announced the fact that they are keeping their schedules free for production. Optimism activated.

Somewhere Out There

Dancing, Drama and lofty dreams take center stage at the old globe. by Tanner cook • staff writer

D

ancing across family values and the importance of dreams, Matthew Lopez’s semiautobiographical “Somewhere” follows the Candelarias, a showbiz-obsessed Puerto RicanAmerican family living in 1960 New York City. As the Candelarias grow restless with fantasies of stardom, the looming threat of eviction and their apartment’s demolition hangs (literally) overhead. At the helm of the quixotic chaos is headstrong matriarch Inez Candelaria (Tony Award-winner Priscilla Lopez) who, despite her insistence on tap lessons, her impromptu dining room dance numbers and a slew of creative Spanish

obscenities, cannot seem to convert her stubbornly pragmatic, yet most artistically gifted, middle-son Alejandro (Jon Rua). But the family’s luck begins to turn as youngest Rebecca (Benita Robledo) lands a role in the film version of “West Side Story” (which, incidentally, is being filmed outside the Candelaria home) and Alejandro begins secretly writing a screenplay chronicling the outlandish stories of his mysterious and absent father. But the plot borders on the saccharine, combining family sentimentalism with Broadway dreams like a cross between “7th Heaven” and “Fame.” When Alejandro inevitably learns to embrace his suppressed talents, it’s like a scene from a long-forgotten sitcom. Not that the emotion isn’t well executed. Beautifully incorporating the arena-style architecture of the Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, designer Campbell Baird’s set, subtly accented with quaint, retro furniture, checkered linoleum floors and warm fill lights, places the audience directly in the cozy living room scene. It’s a near-perfect environment for the play’s naive and lovable characters, many of whom carry out conversations on the stairwells, creating a uniquely intimate experience for the viewer. Around the stage, the iconic winding fire escapes from “West Side Story” tower over the daydreaming Candelarias, monumentalizing both the setting of the play and the thrilling climb to the top of Broadway fame. Hailing from a variety of theatrical backgrounds, each actor of the five-person cast makes evident his or her preferred style, sadly See somewhere page 8

S

cience-themed Biophilia is being marketed as the “future of music.” Recorded on an iPad, the album uses invented instruments and comes with interactive apps for every song. But the techno-gimmicks ultimately distract from the music itself — tracks which have Björk going back to basics and crafting soundscapes that, while gorgeous, aren’t anything we haven’t heard from the Icelandic singer before. Each song on the album is related to a scientific concept (tectonic plates, viruses, moon phases), and they fit seamlessly, blending together in a parade of tinny electronics and flute sounds

strongly reminiscent of 2001’s Vespertine. Opener “Moon” sets the scene with harp-like strings (à la Joanna Newsom) and breathy vocals that repeat throughout the 10 tracks. These IDM influences continue on tracks like “Solstice” and “Cosmogony,” the latter of which comes off as a love ballad, with straightforward vocals that are a far cry from the shrieks and vocal acrobatics Björk is known for. Instead, we have quiet, layered voices combining over the eternal plinking. “Sacrifice”’s dark, discordant synth makes it a highlight, but only “Crystalline” and “Mutual Core” evolve into a hard-edged electronic racket. These songs stand out from the mellow beauty of an album that is, despite its sci-fi theme, full of the tiny rhythms and minimalism we already know instead of the clanging invitations to a mysterious future we’d hoped for. — Angela Chen Senior Staff Writer

some of Cymbals’ most concise and straightforward rock songs to date, with most clocking in at under three minutes. The result is a sampler platter of musical influences. Songs like piano-driven “Shore Points” and riff-heavy “Keep Me Waiting” exhibit the quaint, lo-fi bedroom rock of Cymbals Eat Guitars Built to Spill and the Shins, while Lenses Alien barsuk records “Wavelengths” successfully dons a pleasant, alt-country twang.

Dance Shines in “Somewhere” ▶ somewhere from page 6 highlighting “Somewhere”’s inconsistency more than its diversity. Seasoned Broadway vet Priscilla Lopez (“In the Heights,” “A Day in Hollywood/A Night in Ukraine”) too often seems claustrophobic — her excessive gesturing and Vaudevillian over-acting proving awkwardly distracting in such close quarters. Lopez’s cartoonishness is further amplified when paired with Rua’s downplayed realism — the duo’s conversations consequently exude unintended surrealism in nearly every scene. But Matthew Lopez’s breezy script and likable, uncomplicated characters make these snags easy to overlook. Juan Javier Cardenas’ Brando-loving Francisco Candelaria is consistently hilarious, from his straight-faced delivery during the opening scene’s mock gun battle to

his extended slapstick routine while miming Alejandro’s freshly-penned script. Leo Ash Evens’ confusing but nevertheless entertaining role as family friend Jamie MacRae (the only non-Candelaria in the play) provides the apparently necessary token white guy/tap dancing, as well as some of the production’s more impressive choreography. In fact, the dancing almost always overshadows the plot. Choreographer Greg Graham’s intricate numbers interrupt “Somewhere”’s soap opera sentimentalism, transporting us to an impressionistic dream wherein characters reveal their emotions through raw movement. Though the gorgeous production and memorable characters point to an undeniable heart at its core, “Somewhere”’s harmless, generic storytelling prevents the play from ever transcending a pleasant two-step down memory lane.

Tritons String Together Third Straight Win ▶ M. SOCCER, from page 12

into the penalty area, which arguably could have led to penalty kick opportunities. Defensively, the Triton backline — junior Harris Rabin and sophomores Josh Van de Vrugt and Lamming, sitting in front of redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Jesse Brennan — did well to keep the net clean. In his last four games, Brennan allowed only one goal and tallied 16 saves. When asked about the effectiveness of the Triton defense in the past few matches, Lamming attributes the success to the work ethic of the team as a whole. "The whole team's playing defense, it's not just the back line," Lamming said. "Starting from the forwards, everyone's working together, everyone's playing well, everyone's trying as hard as they can to get the ball back as soon as they lose it." On Sunday, the Tritons posted another shutout, beating CSU East Bay by their largest margin of the season so far, 3-0.

The first goal came just 57 seconds in, when Wolfrom played a lofted ball into the front post for Ball, who struck the ball into the net for his first goal of the season. “The early goal really helped to swing the momentum in our favor,” Walker said. “It was great for three of our players to get their first goals of the season.” In the 30th minute, freshman midfielder Franco Cruz sliced his way through the midfield to find Portela on the left flank. Portela let fly a cross that deflected off the crossbar, landing at the feet of junior midfielder Kian Malek, who headed the ball past the Pioneer goalkeeper. Walker capped the game by putting the Tritons up 3-0. Arsht found Walker in the 57th minute, who positioned himself one-onone with the keeper. Walker, who worked himself back into the starting eleven after sustaining an injury last season, pushed the ball into the net to score his first goal of the season. “I was really happy to get my first goal of the year, and I hope I

can add to that tally this weekend,” Walker said. With the pair of shutouts the Tritons take six points in the CCAA standings. And with the three straight wins, UCSD has pulled themselves above .500, with a 6-4 overall record and a 5-3 record in the CCAA. “It was really important for us to get our first six point weekend of the year,” Walker said. “Hopefully we can carry this win streak into the coming weekend against Chico and Stanislaus.” The Tritons will head up North for their next batch of games. On Friday Oct. 7, UCSD is set to face off against 4-2-2 Chico State. The Wildcats hold the second spot in the CCAA North division and, like the Tritons, have put together shutouts in their last three matches. On Sunday, UCSD will head to Turlock for a test against CSU Stanislaus. Readers can contact Rachel Uda at ruda@ucsd.edu.

The Tritons will continue to play against the CCAA North Division by taking a trip up north to face off against two of the strongest teams in the conference. On Friday Oct. 7, UCSD will kick off against 5-2-1 Chico State in Chico. The Wildcats are currently the topranked team in the North Division, and have collected wins in three out of their past four matches. On Sunday Oct. 9, the Tritons will face off against CSU Stanislaus in Turlock. “The games against Chico and Stanislaus are going to be really important, because both teams are at the top of the North Division,” Armstrong said. “And also because we only have a chance to play the teams up North once in conference play.”

MEN’S SOCCER PLAYER RATINGS: UCSD vs. CSUMB cory wolfrom 4 Wolfrom had a slow start and a few tough touches, but his play definitely improved after he was put back onto the pitch in the second half. Harris rabin 6 One of the most consistent performers for the Tritons, Rabin worked hard up and down the flanks and shut down his mark in the back. gavin lamming 7 The sophomore sweeper was composed on the ball and did well to marshal his back line. alec arsht 5 The normally solid midfielder had a little trouble controlling the ball in the center, but had some good runs going forward. alex portela 5 Portela had a few tough touches, and early in the match had a hard time finding frame, but in the end was in the right place at the right time to put the game away. evan walker 4 Walker worked hard up and down the flanks, but had a difficult time making an impact in the run of play. sam ball 8 Always active in the final third for the Tritons, the forward’s frenetic play caused trouble for the CSUMB defense. taylor wirth 5 Wirth put in the work, but at times seemed lost in the middle of the pitch and had trouble dealing with the physicality of the match. josh van de vrugt 5 Van de Vrugt was solid in the backline. He did well against his mark, but did little to advance the play forward. andrew keimach 8 Keimach was an enforcer in the back, and coming off the bench, brought energy on both ends of the pitch. kian malek 4 Defenses usually have a tough time dealing with Malek’s speed, but coming off the bench, Malek had a difficult time working himself into the game. jesse brennan 7 CSUMB only tallied one shot on goal for the game, but Brennan was solid in the back, and made a diving save late in the game to record the shutout.

T

he Triton women tallied 10 goals in their past two games, going 5-0 against CSU Monterey Bay in their home opener Friday, Sept. 30 and 5-1 against CSU East Bay on Sunday. The team is currently No. 2 nationally and sits undefeated at the top of the California Collegiate Association, with an 8-0-2 overall record and a 7-0-1 CCAA record. Opening their weekend at home against bottom of the conference CSU Monterey Bay on Friday, the Tritons got off to a quick start. In the 11th minute, junior defender Hayley Johnson lined up for one of the Tritons' nine corner kicks of the night. Johnson — who’s tied for first in the nation for assists

per game, having racked up 10 assists in 10 appearances — sent the ball to senior forward Sarah McTigue, who tapped the ball in to score. Outshooting the Otters 20 shots to three, UCSD quickly doubled their lead in the 15th minute, when junior midfielder Danielle Dixon collected the ball on the right side of the field. Sitting far up the field in an attempt to pull an offside trap, the Otter defense failed to cover the left midfielder, senior Shelby Wong. Dixon sent a lofted ball to the feet of Wong, who easily put it away to score her second goal of the season. With a comfortable 2-0 lead, head coach Brian McManus showcased the depth of his squad by going into his bench, bringing seniors Courtney

n Friday, deep into the second half of a game still drawn 0-0, the Tritons continued to chip away at a crumbling Monterey Bay back line. With just 10 minutes left to play, sophomore midfielder Cory Wolfrom collected a deflected shot from junior forward Evan Walker. Within a crowded 18-yard box, Wolfrom found sophomore midfielder Alec Arsht who was just able to thread a pass through to junior midfielder Alex Portela. With his third shot of the game, Portela fired a ball low and hard to the mouth of the goal, which slipped through the hands of the Monterey Bay keeper, put-

ting the Tritons up 1-0. "It's a big win for us," sophomore defender Gavin Lamming said. "It was a tough game, we had to grind it out. I thought our team stuck together really well. We had a lot of early opportunities that we didn't put away, but we stuck together, played the best that we could and had to grind it out until we scored at the end." The goal proved to be the game winner, but UCSD battled for the 1-0 advantage up and down the pitch. The two teams tallied 16 fouls and four yellow cards — three of which were issued to UCSD. On two occasions, sophomore forward Sam Ball was shouldered
