State Supreme Court Demands Inmates Released California has until Nov. 10 to reduce prison crowding from 149 to 137 percent capacity. BY aleksandra konstantinovic

associate news editor

California’s Supreme Court has refused to consider Gov. Jerry Brown’s appeal of an order to reduce prison populations in the state. Brown will have until Jan. 27 to meet a court-ordered population cap mandating the release of over 9,000 additional prisoners. The state’s push for prison reform began in 2011, when a federal court demanded that California improve prison health conditions. In April 2013, the Supreme Court of California gave Brown 20 days to come up with a plan to reduce the number of inmates or be held in contempt of the court. Brown’s initial plan included releasing certain inmates and sending others to county prisons in order to lessen the pressure on state prisons, which currently hold inmates at up to 149 percent of capacity. Releasing the additional prisoners will bring state prison overcrowding to 137 percent of capacity. Brown’s plans may not add up to the mandated 9,600 prisoners that need to be released, and the court can order the release of more prisoners on top of its first mandate. Brown petitioned the initial order to release inmates by December of this year, asking for an additional three years to meet the court’s requirements.

UCSD Surgeons Perform Filner Pleads Guilty on Battery Charges former mayor ended his political career Tuesday in a plea deal for his false 3,000th Heart Surgery The imprisonment and misdemeanor charges and will not serve any jail time.

The pulmonary thromboendarterectomy procedure was developed at UCSD in 1970. BY Andrew Huang

Contributing Writer As of Oct. 16, surgeons at the UCSD Health System performed their 3,000th pulmonary thromboendarterectomy, a life-saving surgery developed by the UCSD Medical Center in 1970. This is an important milestone for UCSD doctors because patients who require PTE surgery suffer from severe pulmonary embolism, which are small blood clots that form in the lungs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it

typically affects 300,000 to 600,000 Americans annually, but a small minority may further develop scar tissue and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. The condition leads to shortness of breath and, eventually, heart failure. PTE is a procedure established by Doctor Kenneth Moser and a team of UCSD cardiothoracic surgeons to successfully clear this scar tissue. Over the course of several hours, the patient is put on a cardiopulmonary bypass machine to clear the lungs of blood, allowing surgeons to work on the arteries. Additionally, the patient’s body is chilled to 18 degrees Celsius to protect major organs during the main part of the surgery, which places the patient under cardiac arrest.

contributing writer Former San Diego Mayor, Bob Filner pleaded guilty to a felony charge for false imprisonment and two misdemeanor battery charges on Tues., Oct. 15, reaching a plea deal with the city. He was accused of forcibly restraining or making sexual advances toward three women against their will. His sentence included mandatory mental health treatment, three months home confinement and three years probation during which he cannot vote, serve on a jury or possess firearms. In addition, he cannot run for office again and will lose his mayoral pensions from the date of the first accusation until his resignation. If he violates these sentences, he could serve up to six months in prison.

Filner, 71, resigned in late August after 18 accusations of sexual harassment were made against him. However, he agreed to resign under the condition that the city pay for his legal fees in civil cases. His former fiance, Bronwyn Ingram, left him in July due to his sexual advances on other women. The women he committed false imprisonment and battery against were identified as “Jane Doe 1, 2 and 3” in reports. Filner violently held back Jane Doe 1 with what is now referred to as the “Filner headlock” on March 6 at a fundraiser. The first misdemeanor occurred on April 6, when the former mayor kissed Jane Doe 2 against her will at a “Meet the Mayor” event. On May 26, Filner allegedly grabbed the buttocks of Jane Doe 3 at a Fiesta Island rally.

The former Freedom Rider served as mayor for nine months and was San Diego’s first democratic mayor in 20 years. During his resignation speech, Filner called himself the victim of a “lynch mob,” explicitly stating that he was never a perpetrator of sexual harassment. A mere six weeks later he pleaded guilty to the charges. The guilty plea comes a month before the special election for Filner’s replacement. Former UCSD professor Nathan Fletcher leads the polls with 4 points over Kevin Faulconer, with David Alvarez and Mike Aguirre at 20 percent and 8 percent of the vote, respectively, according to U-T San Diego.

▶ UCSD Welcomes Albert P. Pisano as Dean of Jacobs School of Engineering On Sept. 1, UCSD welcomed Albert P. Pisano, a noted mechanical engineer, educator, entrepreneur and administrator as the new dean of Jacobs School of Engineering. Pisano previously served 30 years at UC Berkeley as professor of mechanical systems and director of the Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center. He received the school’s highest honor, the Berkeley Citation, for his contributions to science and technology. During his time at UCSD, Pisano hopes to expand undergraduate programs that give students the opportunity to gain practical experience in the engineering field. “I’m working with everybody — the community, the companies, the faculty and the students — to really take this up a notch and really make an engineering degree from the UCSD Jacobs School not only a degree of deep engineering fun-

damentals but also of strong engineering application,” Pisano said in an interview with Jacobs School of Engineering. ▶ UCSD hosts National Engineering Forum On Oct. 10, UCSD partnered with the National Engineering Forum to hold collaborative discussions where engineers could address persistent problems in their field. The forum brought together industry, government, media and academic leaders to San Diego to evaluate how the United States’ engineering programs compete with those of other nations. “UC San Diego is working to ensure our next-generation leaders have the knowledge, skills and visionary leadership to tackle complex global challenges and increase our competitiveness on the world stage,” UCSD Chancellor, Pradeep Khosla said. In the upcoming months the NEF will continue to meet in top schools around the nation to dis-

cuss the solutions to problems that modern engineers face. ▶ Chancellor Khosla reassures students of the affordability of college Last week, UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla visited Clairemont and Mission Bay high schools in an effort to reassure students of the affordability of college. His visit was part of the second annual “Achieve UC” event, a program that encourages students from lower income backgrounds to attend UC schools. During his speech Khosla told students that UCSD provides about $350 million to those who are in need of financial assistance. Khosla hopes to encourage more students to attend college throughout the year by expanding the Chancellor’s Associates Scholar Program, a program that provides needy students with up to $40,000 over four years. “We should be sending every qualified kid to college, period,

regardless of which family they come from,” Khosla told U-T San Diego on Oct. 17. ▶ William Ogdon, founding chair of the music department dies at the age of 92 Composer William Ogdon, the founding chair of UCSD’s department of music died at the age of 92 on Oct. 6. Ogdon often encouraged students to deviate from earlier 20th century music and explore their own ideas. Under his direction, the department received an international reputation for being a center for experimental music. His legacy continues to thrive as former students distinguish themselves in their educational and compositional careers. He is survived by his wife Beverly, daughters Bethany and Erica and son Benjamin. In honor of professor Ogdon’s memory, UCSD will hold a memorial concert on Nov. 2 at 3 p.m. at the Conrad Prebys Music Center.

instead extended to mid-January 2014. The governor had previously petitioned to eliminate federal oversight of California’s prisons, and stated in a Jan. 2013 press conference that the state should be allowed to run its own system. “The prison emergency is over in California,� Brown said. “We’ve reduced over 43,000 [inmates]. People act like nothing happened. Billions and billions have been spent. We’ve shaped up; we’re standing at attention; we’re ready to go forward. I’ve taken their own expert, and I’ve made him head of corrections.

for students accused of willful defiance. The UCSA website calls willful defiance an overly broad and arbitrary rationale that results in suspensions and expulsions. The court that ordered the prison population cap said in April that Brown and his administration blatantly defied the mandate. “California still houses far more prisoners than its system is designed to house,� the judges said. “At no point over the past several months have defendants indicated any willingness to comply, or made any attempt to comply, with the orders of this court.� If Brown’s administration fails to comply, the court has threatened to release thousands of prisoners early next year.

Federal judges have blocked Brown from sending prisoners to private prisons outside of the state. Michael Bien is the lead counsel for mental health in Coleman v. Brown, one of two cases aimed to compel Brown to comply with the court’s orders. “This is an extremely significant ruling, in that Governor Brown and California have been fighting the order of the three-judge court to reduce the prison population,� Bien said. “The prison system and California are not complying with the people.� The University of California Student Administration has offered its own solution regarding California’s prison problems.

Dr. Nick Kim, head of the PTE and pulmonary critical care programs, oversees the diagnosis, evaluation and aftercare of patients that come in, as well as clinical trials for improving CTEPH treatments. “Patients can come in very short of breath, almost dying from their condition,� Kim said. “And within two weeks, they can have a new life.� People suffering from CTEPH, as well as practitioners from Germany, France and the UK, come to learn

from UCSD’s globally renowned staff. “[The job] has its challenges, but it’s very gratifying to see these patients, who are nearly dead, come and get life-saving treatments,� Kim said. “Also, we’re very fortunate to be in an educator position where we’re actually out there teaching other programs how to diagnose and treat these patients.� Only a few places in the world successfully carry out the difficult PTE surgery. Furthermore, as a leading expert in the field, the UCSD Medical Center reported a postoperative mortality risk of only 1 to 2 percent with its procedure, as opposed to the typical 5 to 7 percent, depending on a center’s experience. This is attributed to the high volume of patients that our doctors see,

UCSD is responsible for the vast majority of the total PTE surgeries ever performed, often taking in sicker, more challenging patients that were turned down by other centers. UCSD’s PTE program was th e first to be a nationally designated Center of Excellence by the American College of Chest Physicians. “UCSD should take great pride because this is a surgery that was pioneered here in our backyard,� Kim said. “There’s a lot of local prestige and reputation that comes with being leaders in this disease.�

The Post 9/11 G.I. Bill needs to be revised to prevent for-profit institutions from further exploiting our returning war heroes.

W

hen the war ended in both Iraq and Afghanistan, American veterans were finally able to return home and reunite with their family and friends. After many years on the battlefield, many war veterans are seeking higher education and living a civilian life. Over the past year, more than 1 million veterans have enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities, and in 2012 alone, 600,000 veterans spent $9 billion in federal education funding. For many returning veterans, for-profit universities like Kaplan University, Keiser University and the University of Phoenix seem like great options. Many veterans are either struggling to re-integrate themselves into society or having financial responsibilities to support their family. With the overcrowding of community colleges, for-profit schools seem to be the next best alternative. With aggressive marketing techniques and an easy 15-minute application process, forprofit schools have already received $32 billion in federal grants and loans and $7.5 billion in Federal Pell Grants from students with federal aid money. However, for-profit schools should not qualify for government education funding, because our veterans deserve more than the second-class education that these institutions provide. Because for-profit schools are governed by profit-driven businessmen and the private sector, they exploit war veterans through a loophole in the Post-9/11 GI Bill, in order to see profits and pay less attention to quality education. Many for-profit schools target veterans to boost enrollment rates due to the high flow of funding in the Post-9/11

QUICK TAKES

G.I. Bill. The Post-9/11 G.I. Bill awards honorably discharged veterans with up to 36 months of education benefits, including full coverage of in-state tuition and fees, a monthly housing allowance and up to $1,000 of financial aid for school-related supplies. These benefits are due to revisions of the original G.I. Bill that put thousands of veterans in school after World War II and fueled America’s postwar economy. However, in these revisions, legislators introduced a rule that for-profits use to exploit veterans. The 90/10 Rule, under the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, prevents these institutions from taking more than 90 percent of their funding from federal student aid, but gives for-profit universities the incentive to accept veterans under the G.I. Bill. Because they are classified separately from traditional federal student aid, veterans are manipulated by for-profits, robbed of the educational benefits they earned and left with large amounts of student debt. The core of the problem is that for-profit schools uphold a “quantity over quality” policy because they profit based on the number of student enrollments, rather than high standards of education. Many for-profit schools are run by publicly traded education companies such as Education Management Corporation and the Apollo Group, who value profits over student success. Despite gains of $210 million from the Post9/11 GI Bill, for-profit schools still devote less than one-third of what public universities spend on students. However, it is not hard to understand why our veterans See VETERANS, page 5

RECENT COLLEGE GRAD ROB RHINEHART’S NEW INVENTION “SOYLENT” IS A CHEAP, CONVENIENT FOOD SUBSTITUTE THAT CLAIMS TO HAVE “ALL THE NECESSARY NUTRIENTS” IN A FLAVORLESS POWDER.

Soylent Should Be Utilized as an -NÅKQMV\ )QL NWZ 0]VOMZ :MTQMN

Emphasis on Convenience Marks a Shift in Food’s Former Role in Society

Bland Substance Can’t Replace the Cultural Value Behind Real Food

Although the original purpose of nutritional drink Soylent as a product is quick appetite satiation, its true value lies in its applications for the needy — as a tool to provide an emergency food source. While the product is not designed to be a full-time substitute to meals, it could serve as a viable option for times when there is no other choice. Soylent’s nature as a cheaper, supposedly balanced food substitute could help bring food security and crucial nutrition to struggling individuals and families. In 2011, one in six Americans faced hunger, and 17.9 million households faced food insecurity, which means that they lived in hunger or had the fear of starvation. In a wealthy country of approximately 300 million people, these numbers are far too high. Additionally, Soylent can be relied upon as a tool for emergency relief. In developing nations that lack the social or physical infrastructure to handle large natural disasters or famine, this product could prove incredibly valuable. Unlike other emergency rations that are meant to provide only basic sustenance, Soylent would also maintain proper levels of nutrition in those using it. Because it doesn’t spoil like regular food, it could be stored for long periods of time. The money saved by using Soylent instead of traditional relief food could be put towards addressing other consequences of a disaster. In short, Soylent’s founders have a real gem on their hands. But instead of trying to radically change the way well-to-do people perceive food and nutrition, their main focus should be geared towards people in poverty or governments seeking alternative solutions in emergency relief.

As college students, thrift and convenience often guide our eating habits. Founder Rob Rhinehart experienced this type of diet in college and invented Soylent for our busy demographic. With over 10,000 backers contributing $1 million to the start-up company, Soylent’s emphasis on convenience over taste illustrates food’s shifting role in our lives. Rather than the time-consuming process of preparing and savoring meals, consumers now seek low-effort, low-cost food that refuels their bodies with utmost efficiency. Journalist Eric Schlosser notes in his book “Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal” that the fast food industry grew 1000-fold in less than three decades for exactly this reason; people value their time and money more than eating 21 quality meals per week. Soylent and fast food both capitalize on this shift toward convenience over culinary artistry, but Soylent takes this idea to its logical extreme. In a society where the International Food Information Council has to report 56 percent of Americans skipping breakfast, even fast food isn’t fast enough. Soylent seeks to fill these gaps, occupying a new niche even fast food cannot satisfy. Unlike fast food manufacturers, Rhinehart tailored Soylent to contain a balance of all human caloric and nutritional needs in a day, making it more appealing than fast food on the health front as well. Foods of the future, like Soylent, will reflect the public’s demand for even more efficient ways to refuel without personal investment in each meal. This is a grand departure from traditional dining, which emphasized putting time and energy into each meal for a quality gustatory experience.

The creators of Soylent have labeled their new experimental form of sustenance — better described as questionably nutritious goo — as a sort of miracle food. The only thing miraculous about it, however, is that it has somehow managed to acquire over $1 million of investment funds from online enthusiasts. Asking college students, Soylent’s target consumers, to surrender the savory taste of their Chipotle burritos and In-N-Out burgers for a tasteless, gloppy substance seems to be a stretch. In a first-impression article, Lee Hutchinson of Ars Technica describes his first taste of Soylent as “chalky,” and like “leftover sediment.” Furthermore, in an online poll asking which of their senses users would rather forfeit, less than 30 percent of users chose taste. This is because taste is not so much a biological necessity as it is a biological gift. In an online article regarding cravings, University of Leeds’ Dr. Andrew Hill explains that tastier foods release chemicals such as dopamine into the bloodstream, which triggers pleasurable feelings. So while this wonder food-wannabe boasts an ostensibly outstanding variety of nutrients, the paucity of pleasure to the palate renders it as unrealistic as any other “wholesome” meal. There are other healthy foods already available, and those are inevitably trumped by less nutritious options primarily due to taste. Although Soylent possesses nourishment necessary for survival, it neglects food’s role in culture. Flavors bring more meaning to food than a mere caloric value. Eliminating this avenue of enjoyment would be a very tasteless decision indeed.

ith the release of WikiLeaks’ documentary “Mediastan” on Oct. 11, I thought it necessary to reiterate the importance of WikiLeaks in a free society. The film raises pressing questions about the regulation of global media and the importance of freedom of information. WikiLeaks and affiliated whistleblowers have recently been getting considerable flak from federal governments. Cases such as that of Army Private Chelsea Elizabeth Manning, born Bradley Edward Manning — a U.S. soldier convicted to 35 years in prison and dishonorably discharged for releasing classified documents to WikiLeaks — and the Edward Snowden scandal have drawn intense government scrutiny. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for example, claimed that WikiLeaks’ releases are an “attack on U.S. foreign policy interests.” However, WikiLeaks is important because it exposes deception in government and holds it accountable for its actions. WikiLeaks exposed PRISM, a National Security Agency program designed to collect personal information from major companies like Google, Facebook, Skype, Youtube, Microsoft and Apple. Most of the information about PRISM, including court proceedings, is kept confidential, so it’s hard to question its constitutionality. Additionally, the U.S. House and Senate intelligence committees are only exposed to a onesided argument due to the secrecy of the program. The existence of WikiLeaks brought this information to public knowledge so that it could be acknowledged in the first place: a major win for democracy. Those who support mass surveillance and media censorship believe that these actions should be permitted so that a nation can protect its citizens. They claim that if the government’s actions are transparent, we’ll be in danger. However, while national security should be a concern, it should not take priority over inalienable rights. Without a check, like free press and WikiLeaks, the government has little to stop it from breaching our Fourth Amendment rights. The Fourth Amendment protects American citizens from unreasonable search and seizure: the reason why police can’t just walk into your house and search for stuff. By actively collecting and storing one’s personal information, the government assumes that everyone is potentially guilty of a crime and should have information collected about them. There is a reason we are assumed innocent until we are proven guilty: It’s so the burden of proof doesn’t lie on citizens to justify why they are innocent. Freedom of information is important because we should be able to observe and judge the actions and deliberations of our governments through what WikiLeaks calls “principled leaking” — when a citizen leaks confidential documents that he/she feels is a breach of inalienable rights. As WikiLeaks puts it as, “Open governance is the most effective method of promoting good governance.” Unfettered information is necessary so those in power don’t abuse it, and WikiLeaks offers an unprecedented opportunity to check authoritarian tendencies and expose government misdeeds.

Unlike traditional colleges, for-profit schools aggressively advertise their flexible hours, online classes and convenient locations as a main selling point to appeal to veterans. These firms spend approximately 20 percent of their total net revenue of $1.3 billion for one fiscal quarter on advertising and promoting alone. Yet for-profit universities set up veterans to fail, leaving them with few options and a significant amount of debt. Veterans who want to transfer out of for-profit schools to a traditional college often face difficulties due to their non-transferable units, resulting in course completion rates as

low as 30 percent. What’s worse is that according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the G.I. Bill does not fully cover for-profit university tuition or expenses for incomplete coursework. Ultimately, as these students fall out of school, they fall into increased amounts of debt. Essentially, for-profit schools are exploiting war veterans for their financial aid package instead of dedicating resources to improve the standard of education. Thus, it is imperative for legislatures to stop speculating and actually take action. The Obama administration increased awareness on the exploitation of veterans due to the G.I. Bill, but the U.S. Department of Education needs to implement legislations that will limit federal aid

money flowing into for-profit schools and non-vocational programs. Even though the structure of for-profit schools have more flexible hours and appeal to veterans with prior commitments, high standard education must be placed as top priority. For-profit schools taking federal aid money while not providing quality education are essentially scamming and cheating our war heroes. While the U.S. government cannot interfere with for-profit schools’ policies, the least they can do is to limit and monitor federal money is going to and ensure high quality education for our veterans.

he prospect of traveling to a foreign country in lieu of being stuck on campus year-round — and earning course credit while you’re at it — may seem like an enticing, yet far-fetched opportunity. If the thought of forking up all that money to cover the steep expenses of the trip or the idea of spending all that time applying to different programs is disheartening, you may want to reconsider your options. Each year, numerous students study abroad in various countries, most notably the U.K., France, Italy, Spain and China. Though the cost of these global excursions range anywhere from $8,000 for a summer program to $30,000 for a full year abroad, financial aid and scholarships can help fund your trip. To give students a head start, the Guardian has gathered some practical information from the UCSD Programs Abroad Office.

LONDON

`

IRELAND

BY KATHERYN WANG STAFF WRITER

The nice thing about studying in London is that you’ve already nailed the language requirement. All you have to do now is worry about making the best of your experience abroad and learning the local slang. By simply traveling on foot, students can explore many unique attractions in this vast city — everything from national landmarks, such as the Buckingham Palace, to quaint cafes. Of course, with the fast-paced life, it’s necessary to find a good balance so that you won’t fall behind in your studies. Students can visit London via EAP or through the five-week long global seminar for MMW 15, “History and Culture in London.” Participating schools include London School of Economics, Sotheby’s Institute of Art and UC Center London. The GPA requirement for EAP spans anywhere from 2.0 to 3.3, and the programs offered tend to focus on art, economics and politics. The MMW 15 global seminar allows students to visit historical landmarks, such as the City of Cambridge, and attractions like The British Museum. This year, Professor Babak Rahimi, an associate professor of communication, culture and religion in the department of literature, is leading the seminar. The first information session will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 22 at 5 p.m. in the International Center Oceanids Pavilion.

Colors, sounds, spices and people. You could be exploring the Ajanta Caves, which harbors history as old as 200 B.C., or visiting the Konark Sun Temple and learning about India’s own Sun god, Surya. With UCSD’s extensive selection of programs, there are a variety of ways you can study in India. International Studies Abroad and the American Institute for Foreign Study both offer chances to study Indian language and culture in Hyderabad. Also, EAP boasts three separate programs in Hyderabad, Pune and the country’s capital — one of the oldest cities in the world — New Delhi. Hyderabad, known as the City of Pearls, is home to centuriesold bazaars as well as modern research institutions. In Pune, students have the opportunity to do research or complete an internship following a seminar on social and historical India. In a country that integrates both the ancient and the modern world, a study abroad experience in India is a gem of an opportunity.

One interesting fact about Spain is its daily nap period, known as “siesta” in Spanish, during which everyone is allowed to return home for a short nap. So for those students who experience waves of overwhelming drowsiness after lunch, Spain is the place for you. This summer, UCSD students can study in Spain via the five-week global seminar, “Crusaders and Conquistadors in Spain,” led by Professor Paul Goldstein, associate professor in the department of anthropology. It will focus on the complex history of Medieval Spain around the 1490s. The seminar will take place in the oldest historical site in Spain, Toledo — also know as the City of Three Cultures due to the coexistence of Christianity, Islam and Judaism within its walls. Outside of the the four hours of class each week, students can peruse the bustling streets filled with family-owned shops selling different food or trinkets. In addition, students can choose to explore the various areas of Spain outside Toledo, like the famous Madrid, with the extensive bus system. The seminar offers two upper-division courses for a small class of 15 to 25 students to allow students to better connect with their peers and the professor. Information sessions will be held on Oct. 14 at 5 p.m. in the International Center Oceanids Pavilion and on Oct. 23 at 5 p.m. in the International Center Lounge.

For many people, leprechauns and alcohol are all that come to mind when considering Ireland. While one of these definitely has a strong presence in Irish culture, the academic opportunities that exist there are even more notable. Most UCSD students study in Ireland through EAP, which offers four options. First is an Irish immersion program, where students can study in Dublin, Cork or Galway — an especially relevant pick for students interested in literature, as they can learn about the heavy influence of Irish writers on world literature. For the politician and businessman, two internships in the Irish Parliament and the Quinn School of Business allow students to apply their knowledge in an international work setting, respectively. Finally, a summer program in Dublin specifically emphasizes science and engineering, so the science majors can also experience Ireland’s verdant beauty while earning 12 UC quarter units. And of course, you can kick back with a world-class Guinness and Jameson every now and then, too.

JAPAN

BY KATHERYN WANG STAFF WRITER

For those looking for a perfect blend of fast-paced city life and the peace of rich, traditional culture, Japan is the place for you. The convenient part is that you don’t have to know Japanese to go to Japan. Most of the things there are printed in English as well as in Japanese, and its citizens have a basic command of the English language. In addition to having one of the most reliable train transportation systems in the world, Japan is known for its active nightlife. Students will find anything from ordinary clubs to “Bunny Cafes,” where customers can enjoy tea while petting rabbits. Students looking to study abroad in Japan using financial aid are encouraged to go through EAP. Participating schools include University of Tokyo, Osaka University, Keio University and more. There are no language requirements for Japan through EAP, but students are encouraged to study basic Japanese before they head off across the Pacific Ocean.

AUSTRALIA

BY CHANELLE WANG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Welcome to the “land Down Under,” where you can take a morning class about the principles of computer programming languages and explore the Great Barrier Reef in the afternoon. Study abroad in Australia through EAP or OAP in the coming year, and you’ll have the chance to do just that. Through EAP, you’ll have the opportunity to study and receive UC credit at many of Australia’s renowned institutions, including the University of Melbourne, the University of Queensland and the University of Sydney, in subjects ranging from business administration to religious studies. OAP offers just as many opportunities, and you’ll be able to earn transfer UCSD credit at top-notch Aussie universities, such as the University of New South Wales, Australian National University and the University of Western Australia, where courses offered vary from computer science to archeology. Who knows, maybe you’ll even pick up the accent and come back 10 times cooler. ILLUSTRATION BY JENNY PARK /GUARDIAN, DESIGNED BY AMBER SHROYER

before Edwards took over and later became the first female president of the NCAA. “Having a Hall of Fame is long overdue. It’s massive for the school, and it’s going to bring great credibility to the school when people see the kind of athletes and personnel that we have,” UCSD women’s soccer coach Brian McManus said. Banners honoring each inductee will be hung in RIMAC Arena. Hall of Fame members were also given plaques — The Triton Award — to commemorate the achievement. PHOTO BY BRIAN MONROE /GUARDIAN

“I think having the banners up in RIMAC Arena are going to be a great touch for our student-athletes. To kind of see the names and accomplishments of some of the people that came before them is a great step for us,” UCSD cross country coach Nate Garcia said. Any UCSD student-athlete is eligible for consideration 10 years after they’ve completed NCAA competition, and any former coach or administrator can be nominated three years after working at UCSD.

win after trailing 19–20. Both teams fought in impressive rallies with only small margins deciding the winner. “That was pretty crazy,” sophomore outside hitter Sophie Rowe said following the fifth set. “My team fought really hard at the end of this set. These games can go either way. Everyone on our side played really well; we were fired up and into it. Unfortunately, it didn’t go our way tonight, but I’m really proud of my team.” Rowe stayed aggressive down the stretch and shined throughout the last games, recording 21.5 points, seven digs and a pair of blocks. Together with sophomore outside hitter Danielle Dahle, Rowe led the team this weekend with 30 and 34 kills, respectively.

Sophomore setter Heidi Sierks also had a great weekend, with 105 assists and 32 digs for the Tritons. Senior libero Brittany Lombardi led the defense with 47 digs. The bitter loss to Cal State Los Angeles broke the Tritons’ sevengame win streak, but UCSD (16–3 overall, 8–3 in conference) remains in third place for the California Collegiate Athletic Association. The Tritons are one game behind second-place Sonoma State and three games behind first-place Cal State San Bernardino. UCSD is back in action next weekend, hosting Sonoma State on Friday, Oct. 25, and San Francisco State on Saturday, Oct. 26 to open the second half of the CCAA season.

My Hall of Fame: Carlisle, McManus, Gaito, Howe, Arsht ▶ HURWITZ, from page 12

decided, in honor of the launch of the new department, to present my own Triton Hall of Fame inductees from the modern era: Chelsea Carlisle, Women’s Basketball: When I came up with the idea to do this list, Carlisle popped into my head immediately as my number one nomination. A four-year starter, Carlisle holds the all-time school record for points in a single game (46), led the team in scoring for three consecutive years and was at the forefront of a 26-win start to the season in 2011–12. Carlisle’s teams were my first glimpse at Triton greatness, and now, as an assistant coach, I imagine it won’t be long before she takes home a Triton Award of her own. Brian McManus, Women’s Soccer: McManus is in his 27th

year of coaching. If that’s not reason enough to put him on my short list, he’s also a five-time NCAA championship winner, the winningest D-II soccer coach (of those coaching 10-plus years) and wields a winning percentage of over .800 (through last year). Camille Gaito, Softball: The Triton pitcher who won 35 games in 2011 has got it all. The winner of UCSD’s most recent team championship had a 0.94 ERA in the 2011 playoffs, fanned 617 batters over four years and finished with 98 wins in four seasons to become the alltime Triton leader in the category. Nick Howe, Track and Field: A former co-worker at the Guardian, Howe spent little time in the office. Instead, he racked up a resume chock-full of championships and records, including back-to-back national championships in javelin.

Howe’s picture was in the Guardian so frequently that we worried about a conflict of interest. Now training for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Howe should easily make a future list of Hall of Famers. Alec Arsht, men’s soccer: Finally, I would be remiss if I did not include my Jewish contemporary Alec Arsht. My only truly personally biased pick for this list, Arsht still has most of this year to score what I predict will be 250 goals, log 10,000 more minutes and lead UCSD to another soccer title. Arsht started all 36 games for the Tritons his first two years on campus and was a starter on Team USA’s delegation to the Maccabiah games in Israel this summer. If he can surpass my very conservative estimates of his abilities, then he, too, will receive a Triton Award.

One-One Weekend

y popular demand (mainly from my mother), Warming the Bench is back for another year of exciting Triton sports commentary. The timing is perfect, in light of yesterday’s inaugural class of the Triton Hall of Fame ceremony. Eight Triton elites, including former Athletic Director Judy Sweet, received custom-made “Triton Awards” at the event (a regulationtime, two-hour ceremony, which extended well into extra innings). Sweet was honored for her accomplishments overseeing the first 26 of 30 Triton National championships and her 25 years of service (between 1975 and 2000) saw the program grow from a NAIA baby to an NCAA Division II competitor. On an unrelated note, I believe that I will be inducted into the Hall of Fame for my record consumption of complimentary orange juice at a Triton Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The Hall of Fame, announced in June of last year, marks a time of change for the department — transitioning from a few scattered smaller sports teams as an obligatory afterthought at a research university to the storied athletic program by the sea. (I swore to my editor I would not write another “I want D-I” column, but this is where I say that.) Some of the names on the ceremony’s program included coaches and players for volleyball, soccer, swimming and water polo — though all the inductees were, understandably, contributors to the Triton dynasty pre-21st century. However, because not all of us were fortunate (or old) enough to idolize Triton tennis star Christine BehrensAlmeida or soccer All-American Ele Johnson-Jones while growing up, I

Women’s Volleyball Tops Cal State Dominguez Hills on the Road, Falls to Cal State Los Angeles at RIMAC in Five Sets.

T

he UCSD women’s volleyball team had mixed results this week, beating Cal State Dominguez Hills last Friday, before dropping a heartbreaker to Cal State Los Angeles in a five-set marathon the following night at RIMAC. “It’s hard to say that I’m not disappointed,” UCSD head coach Ricci Luyties said of the weekend. “But for every match we play, we get better, so we just have to keep going”. On Friday, the Tritons traveled to Carson, Calif. to battle conference opponent Cal State Dominguez Hills. The Tritons played consistently and were dominant on the attack in the match, which ended 3–1. “It was a pretty good game,” Luyties said. “Everyone played well, and we had a good hitting percentage.” The win was the 45th for UCSD in the all-time series. The Toros have won just twice, first in 1992 and

not again until last season. With a solid home crowd to cheer them on, the Tritons were ready Saturday to take on the Golden Eagles at RIMAC Arena. Cal State Los Angeles came out strong to win the first set with efficient back-row attacks and solid blocking, but UCSD answered the call in the next set with impressive digs and good hitting, winning 25–17. Both of the teams battled each other during the next two sets, alternating wins until the fifth game. The Tritons had the better start in the fifth set, pressuring the Eagles’ serve-receive game. Leading the whole set until CSULA tied the game at 13–13, the Tritons battled for match point back and forth with the Eagles. Victory slipped through UCSD’s fingers when the Golden Eagles stole three consecutive points for the

The UCSD Athletics Program inducted its first inaugural class into the UCSD Hall of Fame in a ceremony in Price Center East Ballroom Sunday, Oct. 20. A panel of UCSD athletics administrators, former UCSD student-athletes and coaches picked the eight-member class beginning in June. The first class of inductees was announced near the end of August. “Today is a special day in the

history and development of UC San Diego athletics,” UCSD Athletic Director Earl Edwards said. “We are here to celebrate another milestone in the growth of our athletics program.” Six former student athletes, one head coach and a former athletics director were chosen as part of the first inaugural class. The former student-athletes — all competing in the ‘80s and ‘90s — have 30 national titles among them and include: Christine Behrens (women’s tennis),

Ele Johnson (women’s soccer), Bill Kazmierowicz (water polo), Diana Klintworth (women’s volleyball), Travis Miller (swimming and diving) and Julie Swail (water polo). Former UCSD women’s and men’s volleyball coach, serving between 1979 and 1995, Doug Dannevik also earned the Hall of Fame distinction, along with former Athletic Director Judy Sweet. Sweet served as the Athletics Director for 24 years See HALL OF FAME, page 11
