UC SYSTEM

Regents Plan for New Research Grants UC President Janet Napolitano announced a new venture capital fund for the university system last week. BY aleksandra konstantinovic

senior staff Writer Plaza Cafe is reincarnated as 64 Degrees — the newly renovated dining facility in Revelle College. The UCSD Guardian sat down for a bite at the new restaurant.

The bill has caused some people to cross ideological lines. Wall Street Analytics founder and conservative libertarian Ron Unz has called the bill a relief to taxpayers because it incentivizes those receiving public goods including welfare and food stamps to become taxpayers through increased wages. “One reason people don’t want their taxes to be increased is [that] they sense a lot of the money will be burned up in the system and will never really go to the beneficiaries,” Unz said in an interview with The Nation. “With the minimum wage, the money goes straight to the person who has a paycheck. [Therefore], many workers are no longer so poor they no longer qualify for anti-pov-

The University of California Board of Regents approved the creation of a $250 million venture capital fund called UC Ventures, which it will invest in startup companies founded on campus research. The fund will be governed by an advisory board of outside experts and spent on commercializing the UC campuses’ most potentially profitable discoveries. UC President Janet Napolitano sees the fund as a natural avenue for the research already happening on campuses. “In addition to any financial benefits, we see this fund as a potential vehicle for providing resources to support the basic research and talent — among both faculty and students — required to develop innovations that can benefit California and the world,” Napolitano said in an online post last month. In documents obtained by the UCSD Guardian, one of the new programs approved by Napolitano will allow the UC system to accept a stake in companies founded by faculty in exchange for the use of university facilities and equipment. UC Office of the President Assistant Director of Media Relations Dianne Klein says that the fund is still in its early planning stages. “We hope those investments will pay off — both for the principals and for the investors — but there is no guarantee,” Klein said. “But keep in mind that these are long-term investments; they are not envisioned as quick profit-taking exercises and will not be designed that way.” Following the announcement of UC Ventures, a press release from UCOP confirmed that the fund will not use tuition or state funding. Klein also mentioned that, should the fund provide a good return on investment, it would not be enough to mitigate a potential tuition increase. “Any one-time payout — such as might, theoretically, come from cashing out of an investment — does not provide the permanent, ongoing source of revenue that tuition does,” Klein said. “Those monies are used to fund faculty, teaching assistants and staff needed to perform our core educational mission.” Klein stated that the cash infusions from UC Ventures may help the system pay for maintenance and equipment needs, as well as other costs like faculty recruitment and graduate student support. While the venture fund itself is new, the UC system has launched hundreds of startups over the years, some of which were founded by UC

A pair of lawsuits filed by the Che Cafe, pictured above, will contest the legitimacy of 2014 university actions to shut down the co-operative. Photo by Taylor Sanderson/Guardian. The Che Cafe Co-operative currently faces two legal battles against the UC Board of Regents, both scheduled for this month. The first, a jury trial that will take place on Friday, Oct. 10 at 1:30 p.m., reviews the eviction notice that the university placed upon the Che Cafe this past summer. The second, scheduled for Oct. 31, is a preliminary injunction. According to Che Cafe core member Rene Vera, the preliminary injunction essentially asks UCSD to renegotiate and uphold the terms of the Master Space

Agreement, the lease agreement between the all campus Co-ops and the university. During Spring Quarter 2014, the University Centers Advisory Board decided not to include repairs to the Che Cafe that University Centers said were necessary to keep the space functional and safe in theirits yearly budget. Shortly afterward, the Graduate Student Association voted to decertify the Che Cafe Co-op, citing that it did not adhere to the Master Space Agreement, pay rent or serve the best interest of

students. At the beginning of the summer, the Che Cafe Co-op filed a lawsuit against the university that stated that the GSA’s decertification of the Che Cafe was unjust because the Co-op does adhere to the Master Space Agreement and that the vote was made without informing the Che Cafe or allowing for public input. This lawsuit led UCSD to place a temporary restraining order against the Co-op. However, according to Vera, the Che Cafe Co-op decided to seek new legal

CALIFORNIA

State Minimum Wage Continues to Rise Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 10, securing incremental increases until 2017. BY brian iniguez

contributing writer California’s minimum wage has increased from $8 to $9 an hour due to a law that passed the state assembly in June 2014. California state assemblyman Luis Alejo’s bill AB 10 will further increase the minimum wage to $10 an hour in January 2016 and, beginning in 2017, the minimum wage will be continue to be modified in accordance with the consumer price index. Proponents of the bill, including the National Employment Law Project, agree that placing more money in the hands of the consumer middle class will bring about eco-

nomic growth and stability as a result of increased monetary circulation in the market. Those who oppose the increase, including senior labor economic policy analyst James Sherk, express concern about the effects on business; as a company takes on increased expenditures for its labor, cuts will have to be made elsewhere, potentially in total employment. “A higher minimum wage helps only those workers who actually wind up earning that wage and further disadvantages lower-income workers, who suffer [from] fewer job opportunities and working hours,” Sherk said in a 2007 report. “Though intended to help low-income families get ahead, the minimum wage instead costs some of their jobs and others hours at work. This leaves poor families actually worse off.”

BRIEFS BY ▶ Native American Day: The Native American Day celebration at UCSD began on Friday, Oct. 3, with a traditional Kumeyaay blessing, exhibit tour and reception. The celebration became an official state holiday in 1998 and begins on the fourth Friday of every September. However, UCSD celebrated later since the university’s start date was Oct. 2 this year. Originally, the celebration lasted only one day, but in recent years, it has been extended to a year-long celebration featuring a variety of events throughout the school year, including a Native American Film Festival and a high school art and essay contest. In a statement to the UCSD News Center, Chancellor Pradeep Khosla discussed how the holiday is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate Native American history and contributions. ▶ Scripps: Scientists at the Scripps Institution

of Oceanography discovered several underwater volcanoes during their new ocean floor-mapping project. The scientists used a new approach while they conducted their research and created a map which contains double the accuracy of the previous one. It extracts data from the European Space Agnecy’s Cryosat-2 satellite and captures measurements located on the seafloor. The data revealed not only seamounts and underwater volcanoes located in the ocean depths, but also a link between the two. Seamounts are once-active volcanoes and are found near currently active tectonic plate boundaries. This provides scientists with clues about the formation of the continents. Don Rice, program director of the National Science Foundation’s Divisions of Ocean Sciences, said in a news release that the map will also allow scientists to revisit unsolved questions that relate to marine life and can be used for military operations.

representation and dropped the suit. After being served with an eviction order later in the summer, the Che Cafe Co-op filed the two upcoming lawsuits under its new attorney Bryan Pease. “The university actually hired an outside firm to evict us,” Vera said. “We feel that our position is very just and that the university has acted in bad faith. Everything they’ve done up until now has been trying to remove us from the space. They’re spending money that could have helped us to pay a private law firm. If they really wanted to help us, they could.” Vera also said that early in the summer, the Che Cafe Co-op presented a settlement to the university that involved working with professionals throughout the San

Diego small-business community. The suggested changes intended to help make the Che Cafe more in line with what the Co-op believed the university wants the Che to be. “[The settlement] involved a lot of giving up of autonomy on our end,” Vera said. “The settlement presented a list of small-business professionals who would work with the Che to get us in as top of shape as we could possibly ever get.” However, according to Vera, the university said that it would only consider the settlement if the Co-op agreed to vacate the space. “That’s not working with us; that’s strong-arming us into a position that leaves us without any power,” Vera said. “We dropped [the settlement] at that point. The university did not seem willing to work with us.” In the meantime, the Che Cafe

is still operating and has in fact expanded its hours, is in the planning stages of expanding its menu and has begun serving coffee and donuts. “We just want to stay in our space. We’re not asking for too much, we believe,” Vera said. “If we are decertified, just do it right. If we are not working in the best interest of students, then we accept that, and we want to change that.” Interview requests for University Centers Director Sharon Van Bruggen, who was involved with the conflict between the Che Cafe Co-operative and UCAB last spring, were directed to UCSD Communications Office media contact Christine Clark. Phone calls to Clark were not returned.

$50M of Imperative UC Facilities Funding Vetoed

overnor Jerry Brown recently vetoed a bill that would allot $50 million to each of the University of California and California State University systems earmarked for facilities. According to CBS Sacramento, Brown justified his decision based on a shortage in property tax revenues compared to budget estimates and the growing costs of this season’s many California wildfires. While we recognize that California incurred unexpected expenses this past summer, it is completely unacceptable that higher education should suffer as a consequence. In response to the loss of this $50 million, UC President Janet Napolitano told student reporters at a recent press conference that UC tuition will likely rise. California legislators — Governor Brown in particular — cannot continue cutting funding to higher education and turning a blind eye to the rising costs of tuition and the privatization of public institutions.

With recent Los Angeles Times polling data showing that Brown leads Republican challenger Neel Kashkari by a hefty double-digit margin, it seems likely that Brown could win the election, leaving him and his policies to affect us for the next four years. Brown’s election prospects mean than it’s safe to assume that “Governor Kashkari” won’t be able to save the state’s higher education systems. We’re concerned with this latest legislative blow to the UC system and worry that Brown may continue this detrimental spending scheme during his fourth term. Vetoing AB 1476 was not the first time that Brown has chosen not to support higher education. Most notably, in 2012, Brown held state university funding hostage in order to push his tax plan by threatening to cut $6 million from California public education See AB 1476, page 5

AB 1014

Gun Control Bill Seeks to Rectify Loopholes in Ownership Laws Last May, the Isla Vista shooting shocked the UC Santa Barbara community with its speed and senselessness. The fact that the gunman, 22-year-old Elliot Rodger, had published a 140-page manifesto and video blog detailing his intent to perform the killings several days prior to the tragedy, which left seven people dead, made the incident even more disturbing. While the shootings and Rodger’s reasons for the attack sparked a wide range of debates, including a rambling and stonewalled discussion on the nature of male privilege, the most important detail is how easily he could have been stopped. With Gov. Jerry Brown’s signing of AB 1014 we finally have an appropriate response to that infuriating and ultimately tragic situation. After a series of vetoed gun laws last year, Gov. Brown made a comeback with AB 1014. Penned by California assemblymembers Das Williams and Nancy Skinner and modeled after domestic restraining orders, the law gives immediate family members the power to seek a temporary gun violence restraining order on relatives they deem unstable or dangerous to

themselves or others. Giving that kind of power to civilians, most of who probably do not fully recognize the signs of mental illness, might seem arbitrary. The new law does state that falsifying evidence in petitioning a gun violence restraining order will be considered a misdemeanor, but perhaps there is still a danger of paranoid relatives reporting only minor suspicions and bogging down the system. On the flip side, many might not even report suspicious behavior, thus negating the potential of the law altogether. Ultimately, we have to hope that “judicial discretion” in determining whether someone is a danger or not is enough to catch the person before he or she has the chance to harm others. Opponents may protest the invasion of privacy and the fact that the bill appears to put an inordinate amount of control in the hands of family members to determine the mental state of the accused. However, in the most extreme cases, as in Isla Vista, the potential benefits of this bill and the potential lives it may save far outweighs these objections.

In the case of Isla Vista, it is clear that this law would have been the force that stopped Rodger. The signs were painfully and publicly obvious that he was disturbed, yet despite repeated warnings from his family and the publicity of his video manifesto, police were still unable to confiscate his guns. Movement of the bill through state legislature began in February of this year, but it faced debate in Sacramento and was put on hold during the aftermath of the Isla Vista tragedy. If this law had been in place then Rodger’s rampage may have been prevented, saving the lives of seven students. Though this law may seem far away from the insulated “safety” of UCSD, gun control laws will always hold relevance for us, not just as students of the University of California, but as members of the California and national communities. It may not be perfect, and it may be a few months too late for Isla Vista victims, but this law is a step in the right direction for gun control in a state with many strict limitations already in place.

s classes kick into high gear, many freshmen and first-year transfer students are still scrambling to make all of the lifelong friends promised in the university brochures and on the campus tour. But really, why bother? Friends can be expensive, annoying and can get in the way of the real reason you chose UCSD: hardcore, 24/7 studying. To keep those pesky peers from getting into the friend-zone, you’ll need to defend yourself from the three types of potential friends: classmates, suitemates and studentorganization companions. The last is the easiest type of PF to avoid — Just make sure not to join any organizations! Student organizations are friend traps and, this early in the year, social groups will be so delighted to have you on board, their leadership will employ sneaky tactics for acquiring your friendship. Be on the lookout for people who are overly nice to you or ask too many questions about your major and college. These friend-parasites don’t care about your past or study habits; they’re only after your friendship. If you are somehow coerced into joining a group, an unfortunate fate reserved for those caught accepting free pizza or tricked into filling out a SurveyMonkey with their actual email address, make it your business to alienate yourself from the get-go. If you’ve been duped into joining an honor society, make sure to complain loudly about how education is useless and boring. If you’re in an Alternative Spring Break organization, make sure everyone knows how you’ll only stay in five-star hotels with fully stocked mini-bars during the Guatemala trip. Removing any commonalities with your peers will save you from any possible friendship. To repel the unwanted friendship advances of your suitemates, never utilize the shower service in your suite bathroom. Not showering will also help keep PFs away in discussions and lectures. It is important to always keep your door closed when you’re in your room. Roommates can be very friendly and welcoming, so make sure you mess with their stuff, stink up the room and claim things as your own by licking them. In class, make sure to raise your hand often and ask if the content you’ve been covering is relevant to any upcoming exams or if there will be opportunities for you to personally receive extra credit. Asking these questions frequently is expected of students who would not like to be bogged down with friends and you will have no friends to bother you at home or in lecture halls in no time. Follow these steps, and you may be so unappealing to those around you that you may even see your number of Facebook friends dwindle and drop as well! You’ll be on your way to a friendless Fall Quarter in no time. Next time in How-To-Guru, we’ll teach you how to make sure you gain more than just the Freshman Fifteen this year.

Failing Financial Safety Net Takes Another Hit with signing of AB 1476 ▶ AB 1476, from page 4

unless voters approved Proposition 30. The proposition — which raised sales taxes to 7.5 percent and increased income taxes in four brackets exceeding $250,000 — passed, keeping state funding levels high enough to save students from immediate and dramatic tuition increases. Student mobilization for Proposition 30 ultimately helped the measure pass, but two years later, Brown’s true colors toward the UC and CSU systems have never been clearer. The governor was willing to risk the affordability of public education

in 2012 and may have just locked in the first tuition hikes for UC students since 2010. As one of only two voterchosen members of the UC Board of Regents, the other being Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Brown has a responsibility to students and affiliates of UC campuses to keep state education affordable and accessible for California residents. In truth, the funding UC schools could have received under AB 1476 might not have been enough to fend off fee hikes for another year. Higher education cuts may have been on the horizon anyway. According to the California

Budget Project, the sales tax portion of Proposition 30 expires at the end of 2016 and the personal income tax increase expires at the end of the 2018 tax year. The “safety net” was pretty flimsy to begin with, and voters may not play into Brown’s hand if and when he reintroduces referenda to maintain the Proposition 30 taxes in a couple of years. Thus, with deeper troubles for the UC system’s books brewing on the horizon, we need Brown to be on Team UC now more than ever. Whether the governor opts to save or sink the future of state education is likely beyond voter control and is solely up to him.

Un Assaggino Deli’ Estate VINOS AND VISAS Shelby Newalis snewalis@ucsd.edu

he task of recounting all the things that have happened since my last column in May in 550 words is virtually impossible. So, I’m going to try my best to give un assaggino della mia estate (a little taste of my summer). Starting with June: I packed my life into a very heavy suitcase, said arrivederci (good-bye) to my American life and departed for a year abroad in Italy. My program was eight weeks of intensive Italian, during which I had to: prepare oral presentations in Italian, write tesine (essays) and take a final oral exam. I don’t think I really took the title “intensive” seriously prior to the program, but it’s definitely titled accurately. The program was really challenging and not just because Italian is a ridiculously difficult language to learn; it’s the combination of school, adjusting to a new environment and the chronic tiredness that comes along with it that makes it so hard. Also, during summertime, the last thing I wanted to do at the end of the day was homework when I could go drink a beer with my friends, meet Italians and watch the World Cup. Before I risk sounding like a whiner, just let me say that I am not complaining about my summer in Florence, as the program helped improve my Italian immensely. I’m just letting you all know that study abroad can be a bit of an emotional rollercoaster at times. During the month of July, I spent time really getting to know Florence. At first, it was almost impossible to find any Florentines amongst the omnipresent sea of tourists, but once I crossed the Arno, the river that runs through Florence, and spent some time in the area on that side, otherwise known as the Oltrarno zone, I started actually socializing with Italians. After that discovery, my friends and I took our bottles of wine that we filled up at the Enoteca (wine bar and dispensary) and headed to Piazza Santo Spirito, the city square surrounding the Santo Spirito church. There, we joined the Italians that are always there, drinking on the church steps (which is, if you’re wondering, both legal and socially acceptable, because there are no open container laws). Before I knew it, August rolled around, and my courses ended. After my program, I had two weeks before having to report back to Bologna, so two people that I met from the Florence program and I bought cheap Eurail passes for Slovenia, Hungary and Croatia. We traveled by train, which meant long travel days because the trains in Eastern Europe don’t run frequently and are considerably outdated. We spent our long travel days meeting Europeans, who all pretty much had a similar itinerary to ours because Eastern Europe is much more affordable during a prime travel month like August. Some trip highlights were: hiking for 12 hours in a Slovenian national park, soaking in the Szechenyi thermal baths in Budapest and sunbathing on the beaches in Croatia. After traveling around to countries where I couldn’t speak the language or use my phone, getting back to Bologna felt like home. It’s nice to think that after just four months of being here, I already associate coming back “home” to being back in Italy. Even though it’s harder to travel for two weeks at a time since school has started, I’m pretty happy staying right here, enjoying my new home. That’s all for now. Alla prossima (until next time)!

Dining Hall Review: 64 degrees

PHOTO BY SIDDARTH ATRE/GUARDIAN

Location Revelle College Hours Mon. - Thu.: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m Fri. - Sun.: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. A new academic year at UCSD has begun with good news from Housing, Dining and Hospitality: Revelle’s dining hall, which underwent extensive renovation for a full school year, has finally opened. Its predecessor, Plaza Cafe, had a bad reputation. With this in mind, HDH made the decision to rebuild the dining hall. This year, Revelle’s new eatery opens its doors under the name 64 Degrees. The first question you might ask is why the dining hall is called 64

Degrees. 64 Degrees is decorated in an ocean style resembling the beaches of coastal La Jolla, where the average temperature is 64 degrees. The blue and yellow interior not only matches the colors of the La Jolla waterscape, but also the official colors of the university, making 64 Degrees a truly UCSD location. The dining hall has five food sections — a sandwich deli, salad bar and wok section in the front of the restaurant, and a burger lounge and “Revelle Cuisine” section in the back. With a deli called Vertically Crafted Deli, 64 Degrees goes for a fancier feel. The sandwiches are bigger than those offered at other dining halls and are pinned together with a

pick, which makes them look more gourmet. Like the sandwich deli, the wok station has a great variety of bases (brown rice, white rice or noodles), protein components, veggies, sauces (ginger, yellow curry, dragon, orange chili) and toppers that allow you to specially design your own wok dish. Many of these dishes are comparable to specialties offered at Pines, but the ability to choose more than just a sauce definitely improves upon them. The salad bar completes the frontal part of the restaurant with offerings similar to salad bars in other oncampus dining halls. “Revelle Cuisine” serves daily specials for both vegetarians and carnivores. Here they offer mixed

dishes such as Sauteed Broccolini, Eggplant Caponatta and Smoked BBQ Baby Back Ribs. If none of the above options matches your cravings, you can take a chance and try out the extremely popular Burger Lounge. The punny menu items entice people to wait for more than 20 minutes for Dogzilla Hot Dogs, WannaBeef Oozers (a challah bread burger) and Loozer Oozers with milkshakes. There may be in intimidating variety at each station, so don’t hesitate to ask friendly student staff members for help. When it comes to paying for your meal, the 64 Degrees system differs in that each station has its own register, which allows you to purchase your food and drink right where you

ordered them. The variety of seating is as impressive as the variety of food; it looks like HDH is compensating for last year’s absence of seating near the food truck. You are free to choose between counter seating, casual tables, cozy couches in so-called Demonstration Stations with TVs, electric fireplaces, coffee tables and outdoor patio seating. So find a seat and let the pleasant atmosphere and gourmet cuisine change the way you think about campus dining. 64 Degrees sets a new standard for UCSD dining halls.

FILM REVIEW

Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike star as the trouble married couple Nick and Amy Dunne in this fall’s most anticipated film. PHOTO COURTESY OF TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX

gone girl Fincher’s latest mystery-thriller is a dark and stylish portrait of an atypical marriage. Directed by David Fincher Starring Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Kim Dickens, Carrie Coon, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry Rated R Release Date Oct. 3 Leave all your preconceived notions at the theater entrance for “Gone Girl” because they are all about to be blown out of the water: This is not the movie you were expecting. The story is based on that of the source novel of the same name written by Gillian Flynn, who also happens to be the film’s screenwriter.

Aside from the twisted intrigue, Flynn also instills her characters’ dialogues with a pleasant cadence, although it can feel overly dramatic at times. Behind the camera, mystery-thriller phenom David Fincher (“The Social Network,” “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”), true to form, does not shy away from the stylish or the brutally graphic.

The film offers a personal view into the married life of Nick (Ben Affleck) and Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike). Now on their fifth wedding anniversary, Amy is gone, and Nick is the most obvious culprit — but why would he call in the police to search for his wife? He seems genuinely worried and befuddled by it all. Soon after, the police are taken on a treasure hunt as the whole town enters a frenzied panic, brought on by the giant media carnival having an open season on the “Find Amazing Amy” campaign — it’s great news fodder, after all. The underlying tension of every scene makes for a paranoia-filled procedural juxtaposed with the romantic journal entries of the “gone girl.” As we learn more and more about the evolution of their love affair, told concurrently through flashbacks, the evidence

begins to pile up against Nick. Nick vehemently pleads his innocence, but the case turns sour quickly and the police are done playing nice. By this point, it is insanely difficult to play catch-up with the narrative because just when one conclusion seems certain, a new wrinkle in the plot is inserted. There are no givens. Fincher’s film has one last grand ploy: It hits its climax earlier rather than later, feeding the audience one juicy twist as present day and diary overlap. Life seems strangely normal to the still-clamoring news world, but it’s not the first time that the cameras and reporters fail to see reality. It’s funny how two-and-ahalf hours can radically change your whole perspective on a seemingly everyday marriage. By the end of the film, we laugh uneasily in spite of ourselves as “Gone Girl” proves to be deliciously subversive with its

pairing of the graphic with the oddly amusing. This is one of the most intense dramas to have come out in years, and in many ways, it simultaneously functions as a thriller, a satire of the media and even a black comedy. Affleck gives a brooding performance as the troubled husband, and Pike absolutely blows the lid off of her role like never before. If she had not already hit the big time, she certainly has now. Overall, Fincher’s thriller is fidget-inducing, spine-tingling and utterly perplexing; there’s absolutely no relief. If that tickles your fancy, by all means, have at it and find out for yourself what all the ambiguity and hype is about. Until then, call 1-855-4-AMY-TIPS if you have any leads about the “gone girl.”

UCSD to Host Stanislaus and East Bay for Homecoming Weekend ▶ M. SOCCER, from page 12

After recording five assists and no goals throughout all of last season, Bauman has emerged in the new year as the Tritons’ undisputed offensive leader. Through only 11 games, the senior midfielder has already notched four goals and six assists and is tied for fourth in the CCAA for points. “He does such a great job covering so much ground for us,” Pascale said. “He’s getting some big goals.” With the pair of victories, the Tritons have now recorded five shutouts in all five of their last wins and are tied at third in the CCAA standings. They trail Humboldt State and Cal Poly Pomona, who are both a perfect 4–0 in league play.

UCSD will now return home to host Cal State Stanislaus on Friday, Oct. 10 and Cal State East Bay on Sunday, Oct. 12. Kickoff at Triton Soccer Stadium will be at 7 p.m. for

Friday’s match and 2:30 p.m. for Sunday’s match.

Club Soccer Falls in Aztec Cup Final UCSD suffers fatigue in fourth game of Aztec Cup, loses 2–0 to San Diego State. compiled BY Brittney vierra

The UCSD men’s club soccer team opened the Aztec Cup on Sept. 27 against a talented UC Berkeley team, who had defeated the Tritons in the first game of the regional playoffs last season. During this opening match, Berkeley had the majority of the ball possession. However, strong organization from the UCSD defensive line combined with spectacular saves from sophomore keeper Jared Hemann resulted in a scoreless draw. In its second game of the Aztec Cup schedule, the Tritons improved their play against UCLA, consistently pressuring the Bruins and maintaining ball possession for the majority of the match. Sophomore

Joel Witt opened the scoring early in the game with a half-volley finish from a long-ball assist via junior Jonathan Salmeron. Senior Tsuk Haroush added to the score when he forced an error on a backward pass to the UCLA goalkeeper. With the 2–0 victory, UCSD advanced to the semifinals to play Weber State University. Unintimidated by Weber’s colossal center backs, the Tritons came out strong from the beginning. Weber notched an early goal from a set piece played to the back post. However, Haroush answered the Weber goal with a fantastic free kick to tie the game. The score remained 1–1 at the conclusion of regulation time, forc-

ing the match into penalty kicks. On Weber’s seventh free kick, Hemann received a yellow card for harassing the kicker. Despite the penalty, Hemann proceeded to block Weber’s shot and win the game for UCSD. The monumental win against Weber put UCSD in the finals against San Diego State. However, the fatigue accumulated from 240 minutes of prior gameplay wore down the Tritons, who ultimately fell 2–0 in the final match. UCSD will next host Cal State Northridge on Saturday, Oct. 11. Kickoff is at noon at Warren Field East.

Perfect Weekend Against CCAA Foes FACTS The Tritons recorded two more shutout wins against CSUSB and Chico State. BY brandon yu

sports editor

Last week, the UCSD men’s soccer team continued its season of strong play, winning 4–0 at home against Cal State San Bernardino on Friday and narrowly edging Chico State on the road 1–0 on Sunday. The two victories, both against California Collegiate Athletic Association teams, puts the Tritons at 8–3 overall and 3–1 in the CCAA. On Friday afternoon, UCSD put on a show for the packed stands of Triton Soccer Stadium, dominating the Coyotes offensively and stifling their few scoring opportunities. Senior outside back Matthew McClure opened up the scoring early, connecting on senior midfielder Brandon Bauman’s free kick in the ninth minute of the match. Just before the closing of the first half, sophomore midfielder Riley Harbour headed another Triton free kick to give UCSD a 2–0 advantage. The Tritons maintained control of the match in the second frame, with another pair of goals notched from freshman midfielders Sean Pleskow (74’) and Eric Young (80’). Firing a total of 14 shots while allowing the Coyotes only three shots, UCSD appeared to have an incredibly well-rounded performance. Five of the shots came from senior forward and playmaker Alessandro Canale. Bauman would finish with two assists, while the first three goals served as the first-ever collegiate scores for their respective kickers. “We definitely won the battle

of the set pieces,” Bauman told the UCSD Guardian. “All of our goals came off either free kicks or what started from throw-ins.” Following the shutout, the Tritons traveled to Chico, where Bauman notched another heroic performance, scoring the match’s lone goal in the 85th minute of play. UCSD and Chico State have a history of hard-fought games, and Sunday was no different. “It was a typical UCSD/Chico game,” UCSD head coach Jon Pascale said. “It was a real battle and grind. Neither team gave away a whole lot.” Both squads allowed little leeway in the first half, with the Tritons recording three shots to the Wildcats’ two. Chico came out strong in the second half and appeared to dominate the tempo of the game with the help of multiple UCSD fouls. “I thought Chico had a spell early in the second half,” Pascale said. “They had some momentum going. Our guys weathered it well and kind of turned the tables toward the end of the game.” The Tritons eventually took hold of the match toward the latter half of the second period, and with little time remaining, Bauman finally broke the scoreless tie. Bauman intercepted an attempted Wildcat clearance and fired the ball into the upper left corner for what would be the game-winner.

Tritons Upset CSUSB Before Tying Against Chico Soccer gives No. 8 Cal State San Bernardino its first loss of the season, but fails to capitalize against the Wildcats. associate sports editor

Last week, the UCSD women’s soccer team recorded a clutch 1–0 home win against No. 8 Cal State San Bernardino before falling in a 1–1 tie with Chico State. With the win and draw, the women’s soccer team moves to 4–4–1 on the 2014 season and 1–2–1 in California Collegiate Athletic Association play. “I think we’re starting to turn the corner,” head coach Brian McManus told the UCSD Athletics Department. “We’re attacking teams much, much better, creating more chances and just looking more solid overall. Today’s goal came on a set piece, where we’ve been pretty good all year, and teams are not threatening much in the run of play now.” Last Friday night, the Tritons handed Cal State San Bernardino its first loss of the season with a late second-half goal from senior midfielder Cassie Callahan. While the game was scoreless through nearly 80 minutes, the two teams fielded an especially competitive and physical match with both squads drawing yellow cards. The officials, however, seemed keen on allowing the women to play through questionable exchanges as players collided throughout the gritty matchup. Junior goalie Kelcie Brodsky blocked four Coyote shots in the evening, shutting No. 8 Cal State San Bernardino down entirely. The Triton defense kept the ball on the

opposite end of the field for the majority of the game and denied Coyote standouts, including fullback Jasmine Williams and defender Jillian Seminara, key opportunities throughout the contest. Senior midfielder Cassie Callahan scored the deciding goal late off a corner kick executed by freshman midfielder Jordyn McNutt. Callahan managed to win the ball in a closequarters contest and sent it high into the net above Coyote goalie Emily Whyte. Down by one, Cal State San Bernardino tried to break out offensively, but they appeared visibly tired as the Triton squad continued to undermine efforts on the home side of the field. On Sunday, the Tritons faced Chico State on the road and came up with a draw. Senior midfielder Kiley Leshin passed to freshman Katie O’Laughlin for the first goal of the game in the 14th minute. Chico State returned the goal in the 67th minute as Halima Abdelshife scored her first goal of the 2014 season off a successful corner kick. Senior midfielder Kylie Hill, sophomore midfielder Meghan Berry and McNutt all managed to get shots off in the first overtime period, but each of their attempts failed to cross the goal line. The second overtime period produced much of the same with two shots total on the goal — one high and one blocked. Brodsky managed two saves
