Graduating seniors suit up Administration retries Koala Students excited,

worried about what future holds By BRENT HECHT Staff Writer

As graduating seniors stand in line this week to rent traditional caps and gowns, one thing is clear: The UCSD graduating class of 2002 will need more than the artificia l flattOp afforded by their ceremonial attire to maintain balance after their lives are turned upside-down after graduation .

chances of being found not responsible in front of the board . Robert Forouzandeh, the student advocate general for Tbe Koall/ , ca lled the university's case "weak" and referred to the charges as a "complete fabrication ."

A1though smiles in the line certainly outnumber worried frowns, a definite aura of insecurity lingers among cap-and gown-renters.

The cam pus judicial board convened yestcrda y to hea r the UCSD administration's second attempt to prosecute The Karl" for aalegedly disturbing a MOVIlliento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan meeting Nov. 19, 200 I. The hear ing follows the administration 's nullification of earlier proceedings held May 22.

Prio r to the meeting, ,nelllbers of the Guardiall and the Nightcop presented their objections to the hearing being closed, but ultimately left after their motions went on the record, allowing the heari ng to

proceed .

" I e,\pect that we will be found innocent of all charges when the whole ca e is presented and the evi dence is out there," Forouzandeh said.

According to Forollz3ndeh, the Koala's evidence II1di cated that the photographer, who allegedly di -rupted MEChA officer Erncsto Martinez whil e he spoke at an o rganization meeting, is not a member of the humor publication and was not asked to attend o r

The most apprehensive were those eying the job market after four or more years of education.

"You know how everyone has a going-to-sleep ritual, like brushing your teeth? Well mine was sending out resumes," said

"Nobody's hiring right now," she said.

A.S. Council tells Watson: IBeer Me' Student government passes resolution in favor of beer gardens on campus By LAURA McGANN Staff Writer

In an effort to raise school spirit and draw older students to campus events, the A.S. Council passed a resolution last night calling for the university to allow beer gardens in regulated environments.

"We are encouraging the freedom to hold a beer garden," said Jeremy Gallagher, A.S. commissioner of services and enterprises and co-author of the resolution.

Beer gardens have become a heated issue between university administration and students. This year, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Joseph Watson has officiaJly prohibited two university-sponsored events from having beer gardens, including the winter quarter basketball game against UC Davis and Muirstock, despite student support.

"We see it as an issue of: This is legal, it can be done, it is done all over the place, why is it even an issue," Gallagher said. "If YOll are of age, if there is proper security, proper measures taken, following all regulations - federal , state, campus, why can't we do it?"

The resolution calls for UCSD administration, facuJty and students to make every attempt to allow a beer garden if held in a safe and

responsible manner. To facilitate this, Gallagher hopes to create a written agreement with the university that will set standards for students to follow.

"Right now we are meeting with Dr. Watson to talk to him about what steps we need to take to enable students to have a beer garden - to have a written criteria that we can follow," Gallagher said.

"We want something written that students can follow so that the option is available to students."

Currently, only Revelle College Council has passed a similar resolution in support of beer gardens. Gallagher said that he would like to see other college councils do the same.

Supporters of beer gardens believe that the gardens have the ability to draw a more diverse crowd to campus events.

"There is very little doubt that beer gardens are a very good way of attracting transfer students, commuter students and students who are over 21," said A.S. Vice President Internal Kevin Hsu. "It's just about expanding the range of possibiJities that there are."

This summer, Gallagher intends to work on making beer gardens an option for students,

UCSD Libraries receive grant for digital media The AndreIN W. Mellon Foundation has donated

$850,000 in grants to UCSD Libraries to support strategic digital media initiatives. For the next two years, the Mellon Foundation will fund the archiving of art images and their arrangement in digital format for educational use.

The initiatives call for the construction of a prototype Union Catalog of Art Images, which will consolidate approximately 500,000 metadata records describing art and images.

UCSD Libraries are teaming up with Harvard Universi ty's Fine Arts Library and the Ingalls library at the Cleveland Museum of Art to develop the UCAI program.

UCSD and its partners aim to approach the technical issues related to the comple)( cataloging functions of unifying and displaying the diverse range of content to be found within the catalog.

Along with the funding for the UCAI prototype, the Mellon Foundation donation will also enable UCSD Libraries to digitize its slide collection, which will be added to the ArtSTOR collections available to UCSD faculty and students.

Regents name Anastasio new diredor of LLNL

The UC Board of Regents named Dr. Michael R. Anastasio director of the UC-managed Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, replacing departing C Bruce Tarler as head of the UC-managed nuclear security laboratory.

Anastasio, who currently serves as LLN~s deputy director for strategic operations, was recommended by UC President Richard C Atkinson during a special meeting of the regents which was conducted via telephone conference call.

Atkinson's recommendation came after a considerable amount of consulting from a panel comprised of regents, research scientists and research administrators. The panel was advised by leaders from LLNL and various UC campuses.

The newly appointed director has served at LLNL for 22 years, where he has climbed the ranks from physicist to division leader to developer for the Stockpile StelNardship Program, and last year, to deputy director.

Anastasio has also served as a scientifIC adviser at the U.S. Department of Energy, where he consulted with senior department members on several SSP issues.

He received the DOE Weapons Recognition of Excellence Award for technical leadership in nuclear design in 1990.

As director, Anastasio will control LlNt:s 7,500 employees and S 1.5 billion budget. He will begin his tenn July I ,

ERe wins Student Foundation's annual fundraising drive

The UCSD Student Foundation announced that Eleanor Roosevelt College donated more money than any other undergraduate college in the 2002 edition of UCSDSF's annual Change-For-(hange Drive.

In its second year of existence, the campaign generated a total of $1,016. The money will be used to subsidize the costs of maintenance and new equipment at the Intem(!tional Cooperative Nursery School in the Intemational Center.

ICNS was chosen by UCSDSF because of the school's philosophy to include and educate a diverse student body, ICNS is also burdened by desperate finandal need because its status as a co-op hinders its funding intake.

UCLA study shows racial imbalance in prime time TV

Blacks remain overrepresented in situation comedies while other ethnic groups continue to be underrepresented, according to a UCLA study titled ·Prime Time in Black and lMlite: Making Sense of the 2001 Fall Season."

The large numbers of blacks on television tended to appear largely on Monday and Sunday nights, which accounted for 40 percent of all black characters during the 2001 season.

The study further showed that latinos represented two percent of all prime time television charac

. telS, while making up 12.5 percent of the national population.

Asian Americans comprised three percent of prime-time characters, and Native Americans made up zero percent

The study was based on an analysis of the content of 224 episodes of 85 fictional series during October and November of 2001. The networkS induded in the UCLA study were ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, UPN and the WB.

The research is an introduction to a five-year study on blacks in prime time television.

A.S. seeks to alter student bylaws Resolution is response to Koala controversy By LAURA McGANN Staff Writer

In respo nse to the UCSD admini stration 's nullification of the May 22 all-campus judicial board hearing agai nst The KOllla, the A.S. Council passed a resolution June 5 that call s for the creation of an oversigh t committee to decide upon any future allegations of procedural violation by the judicial board.

T he resolution also moves to create a judicial policy committee to review and revise the current U CSD Studen t Code of Conduct.

Both new bodies were proposed .largely in response to the A.S . Council's concern about the ambiguous language of the Student Code of Conduct.

"The problem with the conduct code is there is such vague wording, " said A.S. Commissioner of Communications Navneet Grewal. "Just because the admin-

istration has one interpretation and the j-board has another, who's to say that the administration has the right answer?"

The May n hearing was nullified last week by Director of Student Policies and Judicial Affairs Nicholas S. Aguilar, who alleged that the judicial board failed to comply with Student Conduct Code sections n. 17. 16.16a-b when members of the campus media attended the proceedings.

While the administration curren tly decides on any discrepancies in the Student Code of Conduct, the oversight committee would be comprised of both students and administrators with students in the majority to collectively decide on any such situations.

"[The: A.S. Council I wants to set up some kind of procedural oversight that is made up of students and administrators so we all have a say," Grewal said. "Because if we don't have that, who is to

stop [the administration I on another issue"·

The resolution also calls for a reform of the Student Code of Conduct, which was drafted over 20 years ago. As the code now stands, it does nO! meet the same standard as state and federal law. Proponents clai m me propuseu judicial policy committee would revi se and review the Student Conduct Code in order to clear up points of contention.

"My hope is that the review of the code will lessen the ambiguities th~ t are currently in the Student Conduct Code, therefore making proceedings more fair for students," said A.S. President J en Brown.

The A.S. Council hopes that in making tllis statement, it will become me first step in achieving change.

"Yes, this is just words," said A.S . Vice President Intern al Kevin H Sll . "But at the same time, it's giving us the ability to take action."

PROPS & FLOPS

Props to Sun God nudity - can we have more next year' Ladies, don't be shy about getting in on the act.

Flops ro the administration for Tbe Koala Dhearing shenanigans. Apparently, students are actually getting fewer rights.

Props to the amazing voter turnout during the A.S . elections - over 27 percent of students put down textbooks and turned off "Counter-Strike" to vote.

Flops to the lack of beer gardens this Ii 1 -year. We want to entice students into

coming to on-campus events ... without alcohol?

Props to increased campus discussion of free speech issues in the wake of Thr Koala controversy this year. Even if we don't all agree, at leas t we're thinking. For once.

Flops to next year's 10-minute passing Iiperiods. At least remembering class ti mes is easier now: 9:30, 11 :00, 12:30 ....

Props to Rubio's and Krispy Kreme for making mealtimes on campus a little tastier. We just hope they're bringing more Stairmasters to RIMAe.

Flops to the "Most" campaign for being Ii poorly conceived and darkly suggestive. I -Are you saying 25 percent of UCSD guys think that when a woman says "no," she really means "yes"?

Props to the passage of the athletics fee referendum. Now the Guardian doesn't have to think of a new section to replace sports.

Flops to the upcoming increases to parking fines. The reason we park illegally is because we can't afford a permit, dumtnies, let alone more expensive tickets.

Props to CUCS being open 24 hours as finals approach . Now your roommate can snore in peace while you cram for exams.

Flops to the top-down attempt to start a riva lry between UCSD and UC Davis. Besides, UC Davis is now heading to Division I.

Props to UCSD 's outstanding resea rch offerings this year, from the oral vaccination for smallpox to telling us that eight hour of sleep may in fact be too much. Apparently, screwing undergrad-uate education til favor of re earch leads to some good things.

Flops to the University of California Ij_ for trying to oust award-winning lectur-er in favor of research faculty.

Understanding history is crucial Students don't appreciate importance of the past By WILSON CHEN Staff Writer

A recent study showed that only 43 percent of U .S. high school students have an adequate grasp of the history of their own nation for their level of education.

I'm a history major, and I am mortified at this. I have studied many categories of history and, although my greatest interests do not lie in U.S. history, I was not in high school in the States, either. For people not to know the important details about the country or region they inhabit is a travesty.

Does anyone recognize how important history is? What if the Roman general Scipio's parents had never met? The military genius Hannibal might have defeated Rome, the greatest ancient empire of them all.

If Saladin, of the same mold as Hannibal, had not been an upright, honorable man - a man who once return~ King Richard's horse during the Fourth Crusade - then there would be no doubt about who controls Jerusalem today, because Saladin was the greatest commander Islam ever enlisted in its ranks.

Even seemingly little things such as Paul Revere's ride have changed and altered the course of events so drastically that the modern world as we know it was born from their seeds.

The United States may be only some 200 years old, but it already has a rich historical background. Every ethnicity has its own story to tell. This owes much to the way the nation was founded : The Spanish settled the Southwest, the English settled much of the Adantic coast, and the French in Louisiana.

From the Freedom Train to the classic debates of Washington and Du Bois to the religious fervor of the Civil Rights mOYCment in the 19605 when the names Malcolm and Martin meant hope and saving grace to blacks, American blacks have

fought for their place in this nation. Should our kids know these things? Absolutely.

Every child of every ethnicity should be taught the history of America and why the social issues and tensions existing today are important to our nation's growth. Our children cannot make this world a better place if they do not even know the reason behind people's actions.

Most often you will hear people say "history is boring." Perhaps they just don't like to read. Epic battles, cultural and political debates, little people doing big things, powerful men and women,

The low regard of history as a worthy academic subject is

revealing of people's attitude toward

learning it: 'Oh, it's just history, no big deal.'

the invention of the wheel and the invention of the Intel processor -what is boring about history?

I Ioyc to hear stories, and 1 am pretty sure most of us grew up listening to many different t:ales. History is mostly about the study of events and their causes, but it can be quite entertaining. Don't tdI me that you did not enjoy your grandmother telling you how your clad once fell face-first into the toilet, or the time he stepped into a pile of doo-doo while mesmerized by a pretty neighbor. That's f.unily history for you.

If you haven't figured it out yet, you don't necessarily need a certain degree to do certain jobs. Stop telling me I should become a teacher just because I study history. The low regard of history as a worthy academic subject is revealing of people's attitude toward learning it: ~Oh, it's just history, no big deal."

At least in a conversation, I can impress people with tons of trivia and interesting stories. What are the engineers and computer science people going to do? Are they going to whip out their Palms and show girls how to do math problems? "Show me the functions baby, show me the functions!" How adorable.

I am not just criticizing the lack of appreciation for U.S. history. I have taken it to be my right to assume that 99 percent of those who don't know anything about their own country probably do not know much about other places around the world either.

It is always a pain to hear people say things such as, "Alaska, hmm .. . igloos and Eskimos?" Study history, for heaven~ sake. Alaska is richer in oil than any other region of America, and that says it all . Geography says there is oil; history tells you how the United States claimed it when Russia owned it and Canada is the country attached to it.

If you still think knowing history will not help you, think about this: Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton squared off in a classic duel at the turn of the 19th century.

Imagine if Hamilton had not died from critical wounds. The guy created the earliest venion of the Federal Reserve Bank! Alan Greenspan is a joke compared to this guy. H Hamilton had become president, how could that have influenced politics, economics and society as a whole? We will never mow, but it is my bet that the Great Depression never would have occurred. Hamilton's economic dreams went ~ar beyond his time. A nation's leadership can change many things.

It is significant, even crucial, in my eya that people learn their history so that past mistakes and catastrophes will not occur again. After all, we are humans, not animals, .and learning is what we do best.

Tijuana experience sl10uld not shock priveleged student Editor.

I must say, I found Ryan Darby's article on his Tijuana experiences ("A visit to Tijuana exposes crooked cops," May 2 8) one of the most amusing adventures in pig-headedness I've seen in a while.

A quiclc review of the story: Outside a nightclub in one of the poorest cities in the continent, Darby loses $20 to a flower girl, cusses out a bouncer, gets punched in the gut and lives to tell the story of police brutality and the violation of his civil rights south of the border. It's very funny.

Darby's talents for humor are remarkable: As he explains how annoyed he is that this girl has stolen $18, he remarks, "I work hard for my money." Clearly any stupid flower girl - who earns

her enti re livelihood (and possibly that of a family?) in destitute po verty, $2 at a time, sell ing roses ro inebriated American teenagers during the small hours o f the night - cannot appreciate the con~pt ~ "hard work." The life of a Guardian staff writer is, I must concede, a bit more harrowing, especially when police brutality is involved.

Police brutality! This is hilarious. A country in which an unarmed citizen can be riddled with bullets 42 times by police, a country in which an entire police district can be decimated by scandals of planting evi dence, abusing confiscated drugs and brutally beating suspects - and a country in which, while all this goes on around him, a middle-class white male from La Jolla can get hit in the stomach by a nightclub security guard (whom he just called a "fucker") and call it police brutality - I say that any country in which all of this can happen is truly, as Darby puts it, "so great."

Let this wordsmith's jokes be a solemn reminder that those "civil rights" that we enjoy and flaunt as young college students are really privileges that the majority of people in this world can't even comprehend. It is a privilege to insult policemen and get away with it, a privilege to live by Lockian tenets, a privilege to sreak up when the state steals from you, and, above all, it is a fantastic luxury to say, "It wasn't about the money; it was, and still is, the principle."

Principles are the grand commodity of the well-off. Most people in this world can't afford principles; indeed, even Americans must pay a steep price, since they close their minds and deaden their hearts to the intense poverty of a nation but a short drive south of campus.

Some say a liberal is just a conservative who hasn 't been mugged, and others say that a

Ground religious article in religious understanding Editor.

I would like to comment on imone Santini 's article, "Morals hould not come from religions

alone" (May 28). I love it when atheists explain

religion to everybody. They make it so imple that even a scientist could understand. It is especially entertaining to read an attempt to take down the big "religion system" in the hopes of a happier, more logical world. A fair example is given with Santini's article.

I read the article. While I found myself consistently needi!lg my dictionary, it was interesting to see culTUral evolution as the explanation for all morality in an anthropological tone.

I n other words, basic laws such as murder and incest arose for the survival of the tribe and nation.

. ~,- .. L.' 4"",,,",,, ~ ; oheck··

Because we are just like animals, we adapt to our ecosystem. Whatever works best ends up developing as a moral code, right? This is the explanation I've been looking for! Now I can leave my church, take up fornication and whatever works best for me will become my morals, right? .

r apologize, Mr. Senior Staff Writer, bur my life is not as shallow as my pockets or this argument.

Every human being is more important than we could ever imagine. Each of us carries the capability of self-knowledge, of self-possession and of freely giving ourselves to other persons. It is unique that we can question our very existence. It adds up to make us the most important animal on this Earth (sorry, dog lovers).

Authentic morals should preserve the respect and dignity of the very important human species. How much do you respect your neighbor? Enough not to kill him? Great. Enough not to steal or cheat him' Even better. Enough to forgive him? Wait, you sound like a religious sort.

The truth is, you don't have to be religious to share in many of the morals held by world religions. You just have to know your own worth and that of others. From here all authentic morals can be derived (see the last seven commandments as an arbitrary example).

I admit I believe in God and that religious STUff. But I would prefer that religion stay our of moral debate. If you want to talk morals, let's talk philosophy. If you want to talk religion, first you need to practice it.

New proposal seeks to modify "One.-.rate" Students could gain more control over meal points By MARGARET O'NEILL Senior Staff Writer

A proposal aiming to malce residents partially exempt from the financial mandates of the "Onerate" plan was postponed for discussion by the Housing and Dining Advisory Comminee on Monday. The newest proposal aims to allow residents to withdraw 38 percent of their meal points to make food purchases elsewhere.

After an earlier proposal submitted on May 20 to exempt International House residents was rejected by the committee, A.S. representative to the Housing and Dining Advisory Committee Josh Whornnan submitted the proposa l, hoping to

cy of science in the public interest. "It is an honor to present the

prize dedicated to my father'~ interest to our most respected television man, Walter Cronkite," said award presenter Nico Nierenberg, who is the son of former SIO director William A. Nierenberg.

Cronkite has been affiliated with CBS News since 1950, when he anchored the "CBS Evening News" until his 1981 retirement. From 1952 to 1981 , he covered the national political conventions

to pay for a meal plan. "I'd like to see a mandatory

meal plan phased out, but if that is not an option, this proposal or a program similar is the minimal accommodation necessary to meet the needs of students," Wortman said.

The proposal was tabled by the committee until next year on the grounds that it was "unclear," according to Whortman.

"1 don't thinlc there's anything I could have done that would have changed their minds," Wortman said.

Another member of the committee said that the proposal came too late for implementation next year, because the budget for H&DS was already approved and sent to the Office of the President.

and elections. Cronkite is particularly remembered for his coverage of the U.S. space program.

According to Cronkite, he has been passionate about science, the oceans and space exploration since he was young.

"I just love sailing," he said. "And I do believe the ocean is a frontier that we should continue to explore without overexploiting it"

In pursuing his love of the environment, he hosted CBS' summer science series, "Walter Cronkite's Universe," in 1982; co-produced "Why in the World" in 1981 for the Public Broadcasting System; and hosted the 1991 series "Dinosaur" for Arts and Entertainment Cable Television.

Wortman argues that the dining hall facilities do not accommodate all dietary needs, such as strict Kosher, vegan or vegetarian, organic, high-protein, low-fat and Hallal. He said he believes this plan would alIow students more flexibility in their dining options.

He modeled his proposition after one ·at UC Berkeley, where students can use meal swipes to buy merchandise at a 38-centsper-dollar rate at a convenience mart-type establishment.

Under the proposal, the remaining 61 percent would still be in control of H&DS to pay overhead costs.

Wortman said he felt the need to author such a proposal after the bid to exempt I-House residents was defeated.

He lives in I-House this year - it is his first year living on campus and he has never had a meal plan.

In an e-mail to Wortman, Director of Housing and Dining Services Mark Cunningham expressed his opposition to Wortman's proposal. Cunningham argued that there would be no way to handle making payments to students.

Cunningham was unavailable for comment.

The committee will look at Wortman's proposal when they meet next fall .

"I hope that next year they consider looking at this seriously," Wortman said .

Currently, there is no plan for exemption from the mandatory meal plan in place for next year.

Worker found dead at VA Hospital Navy veteran shot himself in parked car By BRENT HECHT Staff Writer

A Veterans Affairs San Diego Hospital employee allegedly died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds in the hospital's parking lot last Friday, causing police to flood the campus and block off access to the parking lot.

The employee, hospital cook George Williams, allegedly shot himself in the head while sitting in his gray 1995 toyota pickup truck. VASDH security found his body at approximately 2:30 p.m.

VASDH is located along Gilman Drive, just south of the Eleanor Roosevelt College campus.

After recieving a call about a dead body in the VASDH parking lot from hospital security, police rushed to thc scene. Officers turned around all cars trying to enter the lot, causing a minor traffic jam on campus.

"It took us five minutes to (get out of the area)," said Shishir Ghia, a Earl Warren College sophomore.

Williams served in the U.S. Navy for nine years until 1978, when he began working for VASDH. He is survived by his wife and their yOWlg daughter.

"We are saddened by this tragic loss and extend our deepest sympathies to [William's) family, friends and coworkers," read an internal memo to VASDH employees.

The hospital announced a memorial service for Williams, but has not finalized the logistics.

said Marshall's Allison Williams, who will be attending UCSD's graduate teaching program.

Muir student Lindsay Bircham, who will attend the New England School of Law this fall, is equally thankful for the opportunity for post-graduate education, but has worries of her own.

"I will be in debt by the ti~e I am out oflaw school," she said. "I

can look forward to paying $200 a month."

Regardless of concerns about job prospects and finances, most graduating seniors feel that the caps and gowns they are renting represent real accomplishment, not simply the expected passage through yet another phase in their quest for success.

"This is definitely an accomplishment," said Ng, Williams and upcoming graduate Melissa Beckley.

Cap and gown rentals are available at the UCSD Bookstore until Sunday, June 16. Rental costs are $25.26, plus a $7.74 ceremony fee.

UCSD Delegates speak on democracy, terrorism By THOMAS A. NULEY Staff VltTiter

United States ambassadors to Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam discussed democracy, combatting global terrorism and the Southeast-Asian economies in a panel hosted by the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies on Monday evening.

The ambassadors are touring several U.S. cities as a part of the tenth arulUaI U.S. ambassadors tour. The purpose of the tour is to promote U.S. interest and investment in the ten countries of Southeast Asia. About fifty people attended.

"We believe that more Americans need to know about what's happening in this ten-coWltty region of 500 miUion people," said Ernest A. Bower, president of the U.S. Association of Southeast Asian Nations Business Council and tour organizer.

"It's a reaUy important area for the United States. It~ our thirdlargest overseas market, but it seems that knowledge of the region is not on par with what our r~l strategic and economic interests are."

The five countries represented on the panel are Brunei , Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma) and the Philippines. All five members a part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. ASEAN is a multinational group that was established to promote commerce and the international trade interests of its members.

U.S.-ASEAN is an American group based in Washington, D.C., that seeks to promote U.S. business interests and investment in the ASEAN region.

Monisha Chandanani, a senior at Thurgood Marshall College, fOWld the panel informative.

"I thought it was great," Chandanani said. "It gave a good perspective about what's going on in the area."

Ralph L. Boyce, the U.S. ambassador to Indonesia, cited examples of how democratic conditions are improving in Southeast Asia as well as the status of efforts working to hel p the region recover from the financial crisis it suffered during the mid -l990s.

"In this group of ten countries, there are widely differing economic· and political development models to look at," Boyce said. "You clearly have a first-world economy like Singapore at one extreme and then you have Laos at the other extreme, which is one of the more underdeveloped, most slowly developing COWl tries in the world."

Boyce noted that democracy is growing even in countries like Myanmar. He cited specifically the May release of National League of Democracy leader and 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest after nearly two years of confinement.

One question from a graduate student sought the ambassadors' opinions on the escalating India and Pakistan dispute over Klshmir.

"First of all, I think that the conflict between India and Pakistan would be a disaster for not only them but for the region," he said. "In terms of a direct effect on Southeast Asia, it really depends 0 11 how big and how long."

Another question addressed antiAmerican sentiment in the region following Sept. II.

"I think right now at this point in history it is useful to draw a distinction between countries that are majority Muslim, and those that are not," said U.S. Ambassador to Malaysia Marie Huhtala, who noted that Malaysia is mostly Muslim.

Huhtala also discussed how her office has been working to address these perceptions Malyasians have of U.S. foreign policy.

"They have the view that we are completely biased for no reason toward Israel," she said.

Similarly, the ambassador to Indonesia addressed misperceptions Americans have toward Indonesia , a country that is mostly Muslim.

In reference to reports in the Am~rican n~~s. qledia, he 5f1id jokingly to the audience, "Well , if you watch Tv, you know that Indonesia

is a rampant, radical Islamic antiAmerican state."

He went on to describe how limited the demonstrations were and pointed out that the demonstrations were not about being antiAmerican.

"Frankly, those demonstrations that you saw so frequendy [on 1V) were reaUy more about Indonesia's domestic politics than they were about Afghanistan or Sept. II ," Boyce said.

Vanessa Golding, the outgoing president of the IRJPS Southeast Asian Student Organization, was hoping to hear more about economic topics re lated to ASEAN.

"I thin.lc probably due to 9/11, a lot of the focus on political and terrori~m Issues seems to be somewhat of a trend," she said . "1 don't think there was enough time to move past that into the more of the business and economic issues ."

The ambassadors are also scheduled to visit Los Angeles, Seattle, Detroit, New York City and Washington, D.C., over the course of the two-week tour.

Ten swimmers have taken .their last dive into a UCSD pool Four leave men's swimming and diving team, while six Tritons leave women's By ANU KUMAR Associate Sports Editor

Both UCSD men's and women's swimming and di vi ng have a handfu l of graduating athletes. The men's side wil l be losi ng leadership in fo ur swimmers: Pat Carter, Christian Deck, Kyle Martin and Rob Raffaell i. who have all complcred their UCSD careers. The women's team will lose the steadiness and determination of Evelyn Kwok, Sandra Lopez, Molly McCorkl e, Lindsey Meeks, T ia Shimada and Elisa -Ioulson.

Carter came to the men's team during his jwlior year at UCSD and he became one of three captains for the Tritons this past season. Caner swam the I DO-yard butterfly and the 50-yard freestyle; he was recognized by his effort and hard work.

"He came in with an outstanding work ethic," said UCSD swimrl1lng and diving head coach Scott J\ lcGihon. "Sometimes he would push hirmelf past the point of

exhaustion, and that pushed everyone else."

Deck, who has been a captain for the Tritons the past two seasons, proved to be a strong relay swimmer. He participated in the 200-yard medley relay, as well as both the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle races.

"Christian was a great relay swimmer," McGihon said. "He was one of those guys that we could always count on. We knew that if he was in the race, we would have a good chance of winning it."

The third captain of the men's team was four-year swimmer Martin. He swam the 200-yard medley relay with Deck, the lOO-yard butterfly and the 200-yard butrerfly.

"Kyle was a guy that was a surprise swimmer during his freshman year, and he not only established himself as a great butrerfly swimmer on the tcam, but in the conference as well," McGihon said.

Another seni or leaving the Tritons. Raffaelli, transferred from

a community college before his junior year. He was a steady contributor for UCSD in his event: the I ,ODD-yard freestyle.

"Rob was a bright student who had to work through some personal adversity," McGihon said. "And in the pool, he was one who just put his head down and swam as hard as he could."

On the women's side, Kwok, who JUSt completed her second year as captain, was a strong swimmer on the team, but she was also influential for the younger swimmers. Kwok swam the 200-yard medley relay, the 50-yard freestyle, the I DO-yard butterfly and the 400-yard freestyle relay.

"Evelyn had a great presence on relays and we always knew she would have a big swim in her," McGihon ·said.

Lopez began swimming for the Tritons during her sophomore year. She peaked in her junior season when she set three school records and two National

Collegiate Athletic Association records. Lopez contributed in the 1 DO-yard and 200-yard breaststroke.

McGihon said of Lopez: "She was a grea t swimmer, hard worker and great inspiration for the rest of the team."

McCorkle, who also swam the I DO-yard and 200-yard backstroke and holds a school record, was a determined sWimmer for McGihon.

"She got it in her head that she was a great swimmer," McGihon said.

Meeks was also a steady swimmer and managed to motivate her teammates. She participated in the I DO-yard and 200-yard breaststroke and reached the finals at the end of each of her seasons in at least one of her events.

"Lindsey was a very, very steady breaststroker," McGihon said. "She was dedicated and did not hesita te to push others into swimming harder."

Shimada came to the women's swim team after spending four years on UCSD crew. Injuries hindered her season and prevented her from excelling in her events: the ISO-yard and 50-yard butterfly.

"Tia did not get to swim the way she wanted to, but it was really exciting to see her fulfill a dream of hers," McGihon said.

Toulson, a third-year swimmer for the Tritons, was a versatile asset to the team. She swam the 150-yard butterfly and 400-yard freestyle .

"She just would go out there and do it," McGihon said. "She was the kind of student athlete that you want on your team."

For next season, the men's team, which ended its season with a 13thplace finish at thc NCAA Division n Championships, will need to find leadership and maturity in its younger swimmers next season. Meanwhile the women's side will look for hard-working swimmers to replace its departing seniors and

Baseball to lose key athletes ' Nine athletes, including five pitchers, leave team By COURTNEY FIELD Staff Writer

Wi th a 30-23 -1 overall record and a 23 -17 record in league during he 200 1-2002 season, the UCSD baseball team worked its way through the ranks of the foreboding Division Il to prove itself as a force to be reckoned with in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.

Ll the inaugural Division n season for the Tritons last year, the team fini shed with a 7-28 record, leading many skeptics to believe that UCSD was not prepared to enter this level of competition. But this year, the Tritons proved those skeptics wrong.

Led by nine seniors, the baseball team played strongly throughout the entire season; so strong, in fact, that one game decided the final playoff spot.

"I-laving to win three out of four games on the road against UC Davis put us in the make-or-break position," said senior pitcher Keith Smith. "We love that kind of competition,"

Along with Hanau (3 -5) and Smith (5-4), senior pitchers John Beaven (7-4), Robert Peclle (1-2) and John Schultz (5-5) will be leaving the squad.

"[Beaven] is everything you would hope for in a player. He was the ace of our pi tching staff and the team captain," said head coach Dan O'Brien.

Even with his personal struggles this past year - his father, Alan, was killed on Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania on Sept. II - Beavens outlook remains optimistic. A biology major, Beaven will graduate in the fall and is currently awaiting the major league draft in the hopes of playing baseball in the minors.

Each pitcher this year played an integral part in the success of the team.

"This is the most talented pitching staff that I have seen," O'Brien said. "Peelle had some big outings for us this season, but has not received the recognition that he deserves for his hard work, and John Schultz had a tough year, but handled his job weU ."

O'Brien continued to praise his senior pitching staff.

"Andy [Hanau] was a quiet guy, but was a big-time pitcher. He really set us up for success in many of our four-game series," he said. "Smith had the biggest impact of any player, considering the time he has been on the team. He understands the game and is able to take control and perform at a high level of play."

In addition to the senior pitchers, the Tritons will lose most of their starting infield, including first baseman Chad Addison, second baseman Anthony Lococo, third baseman Ryan Larson and catcher Tyler Sullivan.

Addison, who started all 54 games for UCSD this season, is second on the 2001-2002 list for runs scored, RBIs and doubles.

"Chad just had a great career with the ball club," O'Brien said.

Fittingly, Addison will return next year as a graduate assistant coach under O'Brien for the 2002-2003 season.

"1 loved my four years here, so I guess it makes sense that I will be coming back to help out in some way next year," Addison said.

Filling out the rest of the right side of the infield, Lococo's smart play earned him a starting spot at second base this season. The communications major had the highest

on-base percentage (.449) on the team, as well as a .504 slugging percentage.

"[Lococos] leadership was great and he went about the season the way every coach would hope a player would," O'Brien said. "It was his platoon this year and he handled his role admirably. It will be great having him on the coaching staff next year."

Struggling with some personal issues in the latter half of the season, third baseman Larson still managed to top the leader board. He had the highest slugging percentage at .5 22 and also tied with designated hitter Jeff Riddle for the most home runs this season with six knocks apiece.

"Larson's ability was just incredible. His bat was strong for us through the middle of the season," O'Brien said.

Behind the plate, catcher Tyler Sullivan controlled the il1field. Sullivan played a major role in manufacturing nms for the Tritons, leading in sacrifice bunts for the year.

"He was a great asset to the team and provided leadership, as every catcher must," O'Brien said.

After finishing at UCSD, Hanau will be earning his teaching credential and hopes to begin coaching at the high school level. Smith plans on going to law school while Schultz will work for a health care consulting group in San Francisco.

Addison, Lococo and Peelle will return to UCSD on the coaching staff.

O'Brien is excited about his players returning as coaches and mentors to the younger players.

"You know your program is going in a good direction when players want to stick around," O'Brien said.

Musings: Kings' poor free throw shooting cost them Continued from page Al2

Clutch shooting and big defensive plays helped the Kings stay even with the Lakers through four quarters. But overtime was a different story when the Kings fell apart mentally and let the Lakers take the game (on some prime free throw shooting by O'Neal and Fisher). However, the overtime would not have been needed if the Kings managed to make 66 percent from the line - a poor showing on any night - but still good enough for a four-point victory for the Kings.

Then there are the Lakers. Here I am talking about how the Kings should have won, how they had all the possibilities to win -not only in the seventh game but throughout the series - and in the end, the only reason they lost is because they missed free throws. Couldn't the Lakers have done something to push the Kings towards elimination? Yes, they could have, but they didn't so much push as step our of the way whell the Kings werit for the kill.

As the game closed, the Lakers began to look ' a lot like V1ade Divac, goofy smile and all. Divac has this move he pulls on opposing centers: He lets them back him down, and then, when the man he is guarding lowers the shoulder and goes for the hoop, V1ade disappears. He just flits off across the lane while his man stumbles, falls, turns over the ball and generally looks like a fool, but it works.

V1ade does this at least once or twice a g2me; it is one of the reasons the Kings were able to contain Shaq for the first five games of the series and it is what the LaIters did in the founh quaner of game seven.

Duri ng the fourth quarter, Kobe didn't score a point, Fox cooled down and the only player who was doing anything was Superman himself: Shaq. They just slipped away and let the Kings stumble and fall (i .e., Peja and Christie getting nothing but air from beyond the arc).

This is certainly a way to win, and anything that gets the "W" is acceptable, right' But isn't there a difference between playing to win and playing not to lose, even if the results at the end of the day are the same? The Lakers played this series not to lose, while the Kings played to win. Sacramento came up short, but in their hearts they know they gave it everything they had and came up short. Hell, they probably had the same thoughts of failure flashing through their heads I did every time I lofted an ISfooter as a freshman in high school, but they still tried.

The Lakers never played to win - never tried. It took them till the fourth quarter to realize that the Kings wanted the finals so bad that their whole mind, body and soul was focused on winning and playing the best that they could. It is a testament to the strength of the Lakers that they were able to play this way and still win. But do you think the Kings are going to fall for the same disappearing act twice? Do you think they are even going to let the series get to seven games with a healthy Peja sinking his silky J from downto\m?

The Lalc.ers better stan playing with some heart, because there is no way the Kings are going to hit only 50 percent of their ftee throws again. The Lakers are probably sitting on their dairyaires right now thinking about why - when they have arguably the two best players in the game -they played not to lose. Instead, Kobe has once again smirked his way into the NBA finals.


Three Tritons have rowed last race Stringer, Wolsbom, Peerali leave crew teams ByANU KUMAR Associate Sports Editor

UCSD crew are going to miss three members who are soon graduating after steadily contributing as Tri tons . Jennifer Wolsborn, Lisa Peerali and Catherine Stringer have all rowed their final race for UCSD crew.

Although departing seniors Wolsborn and Peerali rowed for a combined three years at UCSD, their efforts have led the Tri tons to recen t success in the water.

Wolsborn rowed during her high school career in Redwood, Texas, and joined UCSD crew during her senior year. During this past season, Wolsborn moved immediately into the var-

sity eight boat, where she was usually at the front, leading her team.

"Jennifer contributed strongly to our varsity boat this year," said women's crew head coach Pattie Pinkerton. "It's a shame we only had her for one year."

Peerali began rowing for the Tritons during her junior year. She was also a varsity eight boat member and helped UCSD row to success.

At the Pacific Coast Rowing Championships May 18, Wolsborn and Peerali were in separate varsity eight boats and each finished third to earn bronze medals.

Stringer, a three-year varsity rower, will be graduating after only three years at UCSD. She has been a cOlCSwain for the men's

varsity crew team for the past two seasons.

A human development major from Sherman Oaks, Calif., Stringer coxed the varsity four boat at the 2001 Pac- IO Rowing Championships to third place.

This past season, Stringer coxed a varsity boat throughout the year. At this year's Pac-IO Rowing Championships in Lake Natoma, Calif., Stringer was the coxwin of UCSD's varsity four, which took fourth place.

The women's crew team has a strong core of rowers returning next year, but the presence of Wolsborn and Peerali will still be missed in the · varsity boats. For men's crew head coach Nlichael. Fi lippone, Stringer's experience and leadership will be hard to replace.

defense wins championships," Burger said.

After the award ceremony, the annual tournament party commenced, and while the Stanford team retreated to the confines of its house for a team meeting, UCSD was so loose that the team stayed out till the wee hours, parrying with the best of them.

The Psycaughtits had already beaten Stanford once, and they had won the Stanford tournament and made it to the finals of two other tournaments. They had only

The two worked out brilliantly together; Martinelli matched Harlan's l7-win total in the 2001 season and then went on to better it with a 20-win mark this past year. Opposing batters were consistently left shaking their heads when Martinelli blazed a rising fastball past them and notched 208 strikeouts -more than one for every inning she pitched. Although her individual numbers are outstanding, Martinelli finds her joy in the

playoRS is the same team that got swept out of the postseason countless times by the league'S biggest disgrace, the Utah Jazz. Shaq, Kobe, Derek Fisher, Roben Horry and Rick Fox, the core of the latest Lakeshow, were also the nuclei of the Lakers who completely fell apart and shriveled away when a challenge faced them.

What's the difference? It's not money, favorable referees or any other excuse that Sacramento can think of.

Shaq, Kobe and the rest of the Lakers learned that they can use each other to win . The talented squad realized that when they mixed correctly, there was no team that could beat them four times to elilninate them from the

two losses on the year and were confident that they could beat Stanford in the finals .

"We went Out and partied the night before," Goodman said. "I want it to be known that Stanford stayed at home and that even the next morning, we were dancing on the sidelines, loose and ready to play."

One of the reasons the Psycautits played so well during the tournament was their coach. Known only as Coach Pav, she has been playing ultimate for over 20 years and is one of the best players in the nation. Pav is the one who helps the team setup defensive and offensive plays, and most importantly, she taught the team to adapt to game-time situations.

UCSD beat Stanford because

work alongside a group of girls tllat I love and respect, and working as a group toward a common goal," Martinelli said.

While a few of that group will graduate this year, the accomplishments of these Triton seniors will be rerrtembered by their teammates in coming seasons while they strive to maintain the standard of excellence that has been established. That will be no easy task, however, because these seniors leave big shoes to fill and footprints that won't soon fade.

playoffs. As evidenced by this past series

against the Kings, the Lakers make you beat all five guys on the court, not just one or two. Neither Shaq nor Kobe played with the dominance they had once shown during a long; seven-game series, but the Lakers sti ll came out on top.

Say what you want about the Lakeshow and think what you will, but you will never be able to cover up the beauty and dominance of the purple and gold.

it could adapt. Stanford scored a couple quick points off of hucks downfield, but the Psycaughtits recognized this, shut-down the huck and went on the counterattack. Stanford couldn't adjust to UCSD's defense and lost the game 15-7.

"Our ability to adapt was huge. We changed our defensive strategy and, therefore, the game. In this tournament, our offense real ly flowed from our D," Goodman said.

The Psycaughtits look to return to the top of the collegiate ultimate ranks next year. Despite losing eight players, they have had stellar recruiting classes the last two years and are confident that they can malc:e another run for the national championship.

Men's and women's track part with seniors Tritons leaving the team take many records, honors with them

T he seventh game of the

Lakers-Kings senes had a special feel.

After SIX games, the teams knew each other. Al l of Lakers' head coach Phil Jackson's tricks had been u ed lip and each team played great basketba ll. For a little while, the game was in sporting nirvana.

The jerseys were secondary in imponance [Q the poetry-in-motion of the Kings' fast breaking and Kobe jump shooting. Then this heartrending sOlmd started to reverberate throughout Arco Arena: dank, clank, dank. The Kings couldn't hit a freethrow. The game's veneer broke by the Kings' inabil iry to make the easies t shot in basketball. On their home COUft, the Kings had the heartS and souls of 20,000 fans screaming "memes" behind them, and they made only 16 of 30 free throws.

How is thi s possi ble? It is unheard of for a professional team to shoot that poorly for a game. A number like that belongs to a high school team - to kid that are so tired when they get to the line, they can't shoot the rock because they ha\'e no legs left.

In contrast, the Lakers went 27-for- 33 fro m the line and haqtIille O'Neal had four of those misses. T hey outscored the Kings by 13 points from the line. There i no way a team can expect to win when they ha\'e that kind of free throw differential. It is a testament to the will and heart of the boys from Sac-town that they were able to stay in the game.

After tying for 32nd overall on the women's side and 44th on the men's side a t this year's ational C ollegiate Athl etic Association Division II Championsh ips, UCSD track and field wi ll lose several key athletes on both teams.

In all, the seniors will take with them three school records, three C alifornia Collegiate Athletic Associatio championships, three All -American honors and a handful of the top- 10 marks in school history. Also, they will take wi th them their leadershi p and the experience of helping a Division m squad transi tion to the Di vision II level.

On the men's side, the most notable loss is Rob Ewanio, the school record-holder in the shot put and a defending two-time CCAA champion in the same event. Ewanio went on a tear in the final weeks of the seaso n, breaking his school record in consecutive meets heading into nationals, where he placed sixth after taking fifth his junior year.

"You don't find athletes like that. H e's really a Division I-quali ry athlete," said head coach Tony Salerno. "He'll go down as one of the top athletes in school history, and probably the sport as well."

According to Salerno, it was E wanio's fire that enabled him to be more successful.

"Part of what he did was with his intensity," Salerno said. "He's really served notice to everyone to step it up a little bit, and they reaUy have."

al qualifier in the 1,500 and owns several of the top times in school history in the 800 meters and 1,500 meters, including the record in the 1,500. Wong also placed second in the 1,500 as a junior at the CCAA meet when he lost by .02 seconds.

"He was our top point-getter throughout the year and a real anchor for the team," Salerno said. "It's nice to have someone who's a real [competitor) like Jon in the 800 and 1,500."

Mark Gomez established himself as one of the top pole vaulters in school history. His personal record of 16 3/4 ties him for the fourth-best mark in UCSD history.

"He's been a steady and outstanding performer for four years," Salerno said. "Just a real enjoyable person to have around, [and] real positive."

Gomez narrowly missed a berth to the NCAA championships because his provisional qualification mark fell just short of where they

drew the line at the top 16 marks. "It would have been great to

see him go - he would have done real well there," Salerno said.

Another notable loss for the men is Steve Smith, who won the 800 meters at conference championships as a sophomore, a performance that ranked him in the top seven all-time school marks.

Among the other seniors leaving are Ryan Vincent, who placed third in the high jump at the CCAA meet this yea r, Phong Long, who finished third in the long jump and ninth in the triple jump, and Rui Almazon, who finished eighth in the triple jump.

The women's team will lose Megan Bergin, who qualified for her first national championship meet this season in the hammer throw. There, the 14th-seeded Bergin played the role of spoiler, finishing eighth with a mark of 166 feet to earn her All-America honors for the first time.

"We've got a little bit of a hole there in the hammer throw," Salerno said. "Its tough to find an athlete of her caliber. Certainly she was one of the athletes on the team that when competition came around, she was ready to step up, and she was doing that consistently."

Bergin's personal record of 166 II , set at this year's CCAA championships, is also a school record. The throw was good enough for third place in the confe rence and was her NCAA provisional qualifi cation mark.

Other seniors include Lynne Brinkman, who placed fourth in the javelin at conference championships this seaso n, Cather ine Nolan, who finished sixth in the same event, dista nce runner J\1ary Peate, sprinter Erin Newman and throwers Megan Steel and Katie Vater, though several of them may return next year becau e they have a year of eligibil ity left.

Salerno remains optimistic about putting a strong squad out next season despite key losses due to graduation.

"We've got a good recruiting year on the men's side - as good as we've ever had - and [I expect a) phenomenal year on the women's side," Salerno said.

Though the team remains opti mistic about next season, there is no denying that the impact this graduating class made this season was significant to both the team and to the track and field program overall.

"They've been the people who really led us into Division II," Salerno said . "And it's the mental iry of what we've been expecting of them having to line lip against Division I sc hools like UCLA. Thats going to be their legacy. II

Women's ultimate crowned Psycaughtits win national championship 8yTAITMIWI Associate Sports Editor

UCSD women's ultimate frisbee claimed a national championship by defeating Stanford, 15-7, in the culmination of a three-day tournament May 26 in Spokane, Wash.

In an awesome display of defense and offense, the Psycaughtits peaked at the right time and had little trouble dispatching their opponents. They went undefeated for the tournament and never allowed a team to score in double digits.

Starting on May 24, UCSD steamrolled through the opposition and set the tone for the rest of the tournament in its first game. The Psyca ughtits played Universiry of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, which tried to extend its sporting dominance beyond the bounds of men 's basketball and women's soccer. But UCSD would have none of it and the Psycaughtits shut down UNC's deep game, with Alicia White laying out for a couple of great catches to help UCSD to a 15-6 win.

The scores over the next three days looked much the same when no team could keep up with UCSD's stellar attack, and the Psycaughtits appeared incredibly focused Out on the field.

"We have been practicing since October," said team captain Dania Goodman. "Nationals has been a goal of ours the whole }'ear and we firmly believed that we could win. Everyone stepped up and peaked at the right time."

Last year, the Universiry of Georgia \mocked the Psycaughtits out of nationals, so when UCSD faced them in the fourth round, the smell of retribution was in the air.

UGA lost many key players to graduation last year, and this year it didn't have the legs to keep up with UCSD. The HoDawgs of Georgia fell 15-5 to the stellar UCSD counterattack.

"This was a bit of a revenge game for us after getting \mocked out last year by them, so it felt good to beat Georgia," Goodman said.

The closest game of the tournament for the Psycaughtits came in the semifinals, where they played MIT for a spot against Stanford in the championship game. The game stayed close until UCSD exploded to outscore the Smites 8-4 over the remainder of the game for a 15-9 win.

On the next night, after all the semifinal matches were finished, there was an awards ceremony. UCSO's Stacey Burger came in fifth for the Callahan, an award that goes to a player that exhibits great skill on the field, plays the game in the spirit it is intended and helps lead and improve the players around her.

Burger is a four-year player at UCSD and has witnessed the evolution of the program into a national champion.

Softball loses four athletes who raised program Anderson, Harlan, Hayes and Martinelli leave Triton careers Iy BRYCE WARWICK Staff Writer

Over the past four years, the UCSD softball team has amassed an impressive 121-69 record and has grown into one of the best teams in the region. That rise was not without the significant contributions of four seniors who will leave the program this year.

Kristina Anderson, Leea

the lineup card ever since. Anderson started in 175 of the Tritons' 190 games over her four years, and she also picked up big hits while playing a solid defensive outfield. In her senior season, she was named as an honorable mention to the All-California Collegiate Athletic Association Softball Team.

their birth into the West Region playoffs, where they received the third seed.

In her split season, Hayes has no problem picking out her favorite moment.

"Senior day," Hayes said. "We played as a team and it was a very memorable day. We came through and did a great job."

Mixing a variery of pitches with a deadly change-up, the move to Division n hardly slowed Hayes down, since she earned All-CCAA Second Team honors in both her junior and senior campaigns.

For all Hayes has given to the program, she is quick to note that the program has given back to her as well.

Harlan, Samantha Hayes and Christi Martinelli are at the end of their Triton sports careers, but they leave behind a list of accomplishments and accolades suggesting that they will be gone but not forgotten.

All the Triton players said the friendships they made on the-team are a large part of what has made their UCSD experience special. None of them would know better about the interactions between people than second baseman Hayes, who majors in human development with a minor in sociology.

On that day, Hayes had two hits, scored a run and drove in three runs, but it was another senior who grabbed the headlines when Harlan pitched a one-hitter for one of her 60 wins as a UCSD pitcher.

Harlan led the Tritons in wins for three of her four years, and she amassed an incredible 677.1 innings while holding an ERA of only 1.45. While beating up on Division III competitors her sophomore year, Harlan earned 15 victories and allowed less than one run per game.

" Part of the reason I decided to come here was that this organization is designed for making players better and making itself better. UCSD is a very special place to me," Harlan said. "I just wish everybody was as lucky as I am to have something in their life like 1 had."

Tadlock ends tennis days Women's tennis will miss her leadership By COlEY HOLMAN Staff Writer

It's difficult to lose a senior under any circumstances, but losing Lyndsey Tadlock will definitely have a dramatic impact on UCSD women's tennis.

As the team's lone senior, Tadlock is the only current member of the team to play in both Division m and Division II, and she was one of the most influential players in helping the transition two years ago.

Tadlock's career was marked by four consecutive trips to. the National Collegiate Athletic Association National Championship. A second-place finish during Tadlock's last year in Division m would mark the Tritons' highest achievement with the Thousand Oaks native on their roster.

However, it was not until the last home match of her senior year when Tadloclc would reach her defining moment as a Triton. In the NCAA Western Regional, UCSD and Grand Canyon were tied 4-4, with Tadlock's match against Christine LiWanPo serving as the deciding point. Tadlock came back from being a set down to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, in front of the largest crowd of the season.

"It was the perfect scenario," said coach Liz LaPlante of Tadlock's last home victory. -It

couldn't have been written better for a movie. All that was missing was the music in the bacltground and the slow motion."

It was the way Tadlock won the 1m much that epitomized her playing style and entire career as a Triton. Down during the first set, Tadlock changed her tactic to a more conservative approach, letting the less-experienced LiWanPo make the mistakes. The strategy worked

CourIay 01 UCSO AIIietiIs

Lenin&: Lindsey Tadbck had a dramatic v.in in her final home match

in a match marked by incredibly long rallies.

"The thing that stands out about her play is her ability to adapt to her opponent, .. LaPlante said. "We're going to miss that next year. ~

Besides her accomplishments on the court, Tadlock also served as team leader since she was the only senior.

"Since her second year, [when she became the team's oldest player), she was serving in a leadership role," LaPlante said . uShe always tries her hardest in practice and that rubs off on the rest of the team."

Tadlock is not the only member of the her family that UCSD will miss next year.

"Her parents and family were so supportive of the team," LaPlante said. "They traveled to every match - home and away - and that will be missed next year. Every girl on the team \mew them."

Tadlock's intangible qualities are the type that can't be put into words. Though not the most talented player on the team, she proved to be one of the most reliable. In every close match, it was Tadlock coming through with the big victory to give the Tritons the edge.

Tadlock was the epitome of a Triton tennis player. Her hard work and dedication -not her talent alone - were what made her so special. Her contributions will definitely be missed nellt year, and UCSD will have to worle that much harder to advance to its 17th consecutive national championship in 2003.

I t doesnlt get much better than this. Chic Hearn might have the only

job that's better than this (he has the best job in sports, actually) . Continuing a great tradition, 1 am taking over as sports editor of the Guardian.

As I begin to get slightly more comfortable in the Guardian sports office, where the television sits among rubbish and leftover food, I would like to tip my cap to former sports editor Isaac Pearlman, who ran this section of the paper quite smoothly.

Soon enough, I'm going to be attempting to inform all students here that UCSD sports are actually COI11-petitive against the stronger Division n teams in the nation. And, soon enough, I will realize how few students read even the headli nes of the Guardian.

In my first column as sports editor, I'm going to talk about one of the greatest things that the sports world has to offer: the Lakers.

The boys in purple and gold are back in the finals just like the handful of Laker faithful imagined in October. The NBAS newest dynasty has reached the final step again, which "Laker fans" wait for to bring out their jerseys and flags.

, ... 82 SPECrAL GRADUATION SECTION

being a G1UJrdian editor for the last year has, at times, felt more like a decade , I often wonder where the time has gone - my answer lies in a

little paper that comes out twice a week. A paper that entertains, draws yawns, entices smiles, causes nasty letters to the editors, enrages a few and goes somewhat unnoticed.

It is more than an all-consuming job, which at times makes me want to cli mb into a van and take up residence south of the border. Once there, I imagine I wOlud grow a beard and survive on fish and Coronas. Instead, I stayed, coordinating another issue while Ieeeping one eye on the copy, and the other on the calendar while staying updated on the Baja weather repott.

Too often we get the impression that the paper is the sum of the parts that created it and not the finished product that you mayor may not read.

The paper does not belong to the editors, writers or anybody else on staff. It is yours. You are entided to be an informed member of the UCSD community. Just don't go looking for that statement to be written down somewhere, because it isn't. Sometimes, after long hours slaving away, we don't remember that, but if we ever forget, we need you to remind us.

I hope we kept you informed and interested.

If your diversity rally went unnoticed by the news section, it was not because myself or anyone here was busy trying to get Ward Connerly to raise money for Gary Bauer's 2002 run for the presidency.

If your Students for Free Trade and Gun Rights luncheon went

uncovered, it was not because I was out cultivating a communal garden for organic vegetables to serve to immigrants crossing the border in the desert.

Sometimes things slip .through the cracks because of limited resources and the little-mown fact that we are not professionals. And then sometimes your events are just plain boring and not neW3Worthy. Regardless, this is still your newspaper and, ultimately, we need you to keep us honest. Everybody here is approachable and needs feedback; our office (second floor of the Student Center, above the co-op) is usually open. So drop by, be willing to talk and don't light that Malatlcov cocletail. If it turns out you were ignored, let me mow and r will reluctantly give you a light. But in the meantime, keep next year's staff informed and honest. You are our best eyes and ears to the outside world.

By now you have likely realized the "Senior Send-offs" may seem a bit egocentric, especiaUy coming from people you don't know, much less care about. Which is why I'm not going to waste any more of this newsprint tallcing about the paper or myself, since you have no reason to care about my favorite memories of the last four years. It's your paper, not mine. Instead, I'm writing about something that needs to be told but rarely is, and that is that you are pretty damn lucky.

We all hear the cries of, "This place sucks. It's boring no parties, no community, high rent, expensive parking, suspect administration and student government, overcrowding, student apathy, and that big damn hill in the middle of campus."

But, contrary to popular belief,

THE'UCSO'GUARDIAN , THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 2002

-------geoff dietrich---this school does not suck; you /ITt

fortunate to be going to the University of California at San Diego. Although the academics are good, that's not why you're lucky. You don't need me hailing UCSD's academics.

San Diego is a great place to live after high school and before the real world. The place has got it all, from world -class surf to a scenic back country. From the mundane concrete jungle of the Golden Triangle to the dynamic beach commWlities.

If one were confined to campus - except for jaunts to UTC or Tijuana's night clubs - one could come to the conclusion that life at

UCSD sucks, which it may. But life in San Diego doesn't need to, which is exactly why you are fortunate to have been or will continue to be in San Diego.

I first realized this as a freshman when I was visiting some family friends who were staying on the top floor of the Mission Bay Hilton. From there, on that warm. sunny, clear day I could see from Mount Soledad to downtown, with the beach and bay full of people out and about.

While the experience was not an epiphany and I definitely did not scream, "Eurelca! Lord Triton, I have found the meaning of life!" r did realize there was a lot more

important, interesting and worthwhile stuff to life at UCSD than just UCSD.

This may sound more like a "welcome to four years in San Diego" piece - that may be because in every ending there is a new beginning. So if you are going to spend this summer researching how to transfer to UC Berleeley or UCLA - like many of you are -remember: It's not UCSD that sucks, but maybe your approach to it that does.

This school may have sucked, but your life doesn't have to. Take advantage of this place and this time of your life while you still can, because it will be over far too soon.

for most of us, graduation is just another chapter in our lives. In just 10 days, we will leave behind our friends, memories and the place that

we have called home for the last four years.

Like others that will be graduating this year, I too feel sad at the prospect of leaving behind the friends that have become a second family to me, but as my friend Grace recently pointed out to me, "Life is about leaving people."

Why, then, is this so difficult' I think it is because whenever I try to think of the defining moments in Illy life over the course of tlle past four yea rs, my friends were aJways [here to su pport me along the way.

YOLI see, the most amazing thing about college is that when it is all said and done, the lessons we learn here are forever ingrained in our memories. And, while J will take away with me all the knowledge I gained through the coursework I completed, I will be the first to admit that the biggest lessons I learned have been those that were learned outside of the classroom.

Gloria Steinem once said, "This is the last period of time that will seem lengthy to you at only three or four years . From now on, time will pass without artificial academic measure. It will go by like the wind. Whatever you want to do, do it now. For life is time and time is all there is."

As I wri te this today, her words govern my thoughts, because if I have learned anything in the past four years, it is that we would be doing ourselves an injustice if, in the future, we looked back on these years with regret.

Years from now, r will loole back on my time in college and Icnow that these were some of the best years of my life. To all those that

have had an impact on my life, I thank you .

To my fellow editors at the Gllardian: You have all taught me so much in the past four years. I have a great deal of respect for all of you and I wish you luck in all of your endeavors. This is a challenging profession and I want to thank you all for constantly reaffirming my faith in our work as journalists.

Claire: It has been a pleasure to work on the features section with you this year. I have always admired your unique style of writing and I have no doubt that you will be able to work wonders as the opinion editor nex~ year l

Lindsay: You are a very gifted writer, and I know that you will do a fantastic job with the fearures section next year!

I have been lucley enough to have had a very close-kni t group of friends throughout my four years here. I will miss you all, and I will always remember the good times that we have shared.

Parvez: You were one of my first friends at UCSD and I am glad that we have remained close. You have so many amazing qualities and I mow that you will be successful in whatever you choose to do. Good luck next year, Skeelo!

Gavin: Thanks for being such a good friend during the past few years. I'll miss hanging out with you next year. It is rare that I have come across someone who is as sincere as you are - don't change!

Ashvin: I know that your ambition will lead to many successes in the years to come. Have a good time in New Yorle this summer. r mow that you won't need it, but good lucie next year!

Payal : Thank you for being such a dedicated friend during the past four years. r always knew r could depend on you, and that has been a

big comfort to me. "Ami Tomake Bishon Bhalo Bashi!"

Sawsan: I can't help but laugh whenever I think of all of the "Sawsan stories" that have entertained US for the past few years. Thanks for all the advice you've given me and for being such a good listener whenever I needed to talle to someone. Good luck next year!

Tanmai: Since I got back from D.C., things haven't really been the same with us, and I want you to know that I really miss the way things used to be. Even though we have both been preoccupied with other things, I want you to mow that our friendship means a lot to me and I will always consider you one of my closest friends.

Shefali : I do not mow what I would have done without you dur- . ing the past four years. You have always been there for me and I am so grateful for your friendship. Never doubt yourself; you are one of the most hard-working people I have ever met, and you deserve all of the successes that come your way. I mow that you are nervous about moving next year, but mow that I'll only be a phone call away if you ever need to talk. Take care of yourself in Georgia next year.

Ashwin: Four years ago, I would never have imagined that our bond would grow to be what it is today. You have brought a great deal of laughter into my life and I can't thank you enough for that. Your optimism, sincerity and compassion are all qualities that I love about you, and I feel so lucley to have you in my life. I have so many good memories of the past four years and many of them are with you. r will miss you next year when you go to Northwestern, but I am confident that we will survive the 2,OOO-mile distance. Thanle you for bringing so much happiness to my life. 1-4-),

Lastly, to the people who have provided me with unconditional love and support for the past 21 years - my family.

Pri}'2: You have grown up to be a beautiful, intelligent and talented girl, and I am sure that you will continue to excel at everything you do. Remember that [ will always be here for you and that I am very proud of you.

Ammama and Ajju: I have so much admiration for you both. Raising five children, II grandchildren and four great-grandchildren is no small feat, and I speak on behalf of all of us when I say thanle you for all that you have brought to

But the most important lesson I learned was to not take life, or the GUilrdilln, too seriously. I realized how important that lesson was when I saw a former editor taint his entire experience at the Guardian with a tirade on journalistic ethics and how he had better journalistic ethics than the rest of the staff.

Basically, his final mark as an editor was making himself seem arrogant, angry and bitter at the supposed incompetence of the Guardian staff. He toole his work too seriously and forgot to properly thank the people that defined his college life.

I vowed to try and make hianls the best section in the Guardian, but between all the hard work. I attempted to maintain a lighthearted atmosphere as well. For many of us, the GUllrdian is the last time in an office setting where we will ever have such open and politically incorrect conversations about sex, drugs, music, religion, politics, sports, theater and society.

So enjoy it When it comes down to it, I

enjoyed my time spent at the Guardian. I have met incredibly wonderful people that have changed my life and made my life brighter. My undying thanks goes to the hardworking hiatus writers who have stuck with me and my coeditor, Charlie, for the entire year. Thanks to Charlie for his dedication and his hilarious personality. I wish nothing but the best for you,

the incoming editors, especially Rinaldo, Anne and Mara.

as I rewind the la t roll of film I'll ever take as phoro editor of the GIIfJ1'dlllll, I'm still amazed at the fact that I have 36 moments in tillle caprured in this tiny canister That'~ 36 moments that will never happen

agalll. Thirty-six fractions of a second that, ro some p!!ople, may mean nothing, but to others , may mean the world.

:\ I y photo career starred our 10 years ago when [ was just a ,crawny kid With a tiny, fearure-free, compact camera. Abour 99 percent of my photos then were horrible. Now I'm 10 years older and wiser, and have a camera that consists of too many bells and whistles - and 99 percent of my photos arc still crap. But what drives me is that one percent. Those precious few images that truly astound, that truly delight and tha t truly affect. That is my passion, my love, my motivation. Strt\1ng to make a photo that will make a difference, no matter how sma ll, in someone's life.

That is why I became a photojournalist. Being a photOJo urnalist makes me see beyond a photograph; it makes me ;ca rch for not only the perfect image but to also understand the Imperfections of the elements that make up such a photo. And It is this never-ending search that has led me to so many placc~. led Ill!! to meet so many people, led me to experience ,0 much of lifc.

I remember shooo ng a happy couple exchanging vows at a slinple ceremony by the beach. [ remember kid cOllling up to me to a~k for a look through my camera at a Little League gJlIle. I remember capturing joy of the swimmers of my high ~chool swim team when they won the national title . I remember photographing the the camaraderie between players \I hen I shot m!, first major league game.

But it's not all fun and games. I remember shooti ng a grass fire I stupidly tried to get close to, landmg me three days in hed with smoke in my lungs. I remember a bastard senior AP photographer blocking my lens at a 4ger game. I remember bemg threatened by big, bad-ass dudes for attempting to take photographs of them selling cocaine to kids. I remember bcmg snubbed by Jose Can eco (Canseco! Of all people!) \I hen all I wanted was a simple photoblTaph. I remember ,hooting a rugby game where it rained so hard, m)' flash shortCIrCUited and I had to spend my food money repairing it. I remcmber crying at a friend 's (uneral I was fo rced to cover.

I ,hoot because I believe that when words fail, photograph\' still holds the power to disrurb, motivate and, most Irnporta ncly, enlighten. Good photOgraphy educates and mtnrms us about the present. It illuminates and honors the pm. It records everything and anything: goot!, bad, beautiful and ugl y. It is an impartial medium. J shoot because I want to cun,trlJct a better understanding of this complicated world . That's what photojournalism does: It pushes us to embrace our humanity, as well as to confront the inhumanity that is very real among us. It places us anud people who are struggling against tremendous odds, as well as people who affirm the triumph of the human spirit.

I was afraid that J wouldn't get a chance to carry on shootIng after high school; that I would slowly lose my drive and passion for photojournalism. But I'm glad I was wrong. I'm extremely forrunare to be able to continue as a photojournalIst here at the Glial-dian . I have photographed 50 much of UCSD. I sang along to tlle songs at concerts, pumped my fist

T hough my time as photo editor comes slowly \0 an end, my life as a photographer has barely begun . As I pocket a roll of film and start to head back to the office, I see a bov wearing a Bannan T-shirt with a cape on the field playing catch with his dad. I stOp for a minute, taking in the uninhibi ted elation that the kid has in his laughter, that unbridled joy he has in his eyes. I pullout a new roll of film, load it in my Nikon, set the proper aperture and shutter speed, lift the viewfinder to my eye, and get rcady to capture that "one" photo.

tio n is a bit different from the other graduating Guardianites in these pages because I' m not leaving the Guardill1l because I am graduating from UCSD. I 'm leaving because one of the many things I learned from my stint at the Guardian is that journalism is not for me. But I suppose I'd better start at the beginning before I get ahead of myself; once I get ahead of myself it's difficult to go forward because you leeep wanting to look back.

I came to UCSD last year, fresh out of high school and all brighteyed and bushy-tailed _ r had no previous journalism experience whatsoever - the only reason I picked up an application and went to the recruitment meeting was because the girl at the recruiting table (who would later become my boss) was cute.

But as I started writing for the GUO/'dian, I became hooked on seeing my name in the paper every week. As every writer mows, there is a euphoric rush that accompanies seei ng your wo rk displayed in any medium. It's like, "H ey, people can read my work! They could even like it! " I clipped every article I wrote from m y first year as ifI were a proud mother rather than a crack journalist .

• - -- I S a a c pearlman -----

In the GlIa,-dfllll office, intelli gence and hard work collided with deadlines, stress and a roomful of strangers to create a close-knit team. [ think the Gllardill71 office is the only place in the world where conversations of local , state and national politics would be interspersed with heated discussions of the most effective sexual position while a plane is crashing, the exact definition of a chode, the deli cate intricacies of a battle between ninjas and pirates, or the merits of being a hooker in Vegas vs. a beach bum (i t was agreed that the two be co mbined into a beach hooker) . And those are just the surface of the issues discussed at the Guardilll/ . From the donkey show in Tijuana , to the pros and cons of a major league baseball salary cap, to pretty much any si ruation regarding alcohol, I am definitely goi ng to miss the conversa tions held at the GIiO/'dlall office.

never came back to the Guardian. That was all she wrote, as they say, for at the end of the year I destroyed the other candidates (nobody) for sports editor. Those were the steps of my ascension to power. But only now, looking back, can I truly appreciate the disparity between that inexperie nced boy and the tired veteran currently writing this.

Back then, all ] had was a titl e. Now, as I leave that title behind, I have so much more. I'm not talking about the considerable experie nce I have gained, although that

So it looks like I've forgotten way too many people. But writing this is damaging to my mood, and fuck, it is my column, and I'm not into forcing myself to think about this depressing " moving on" crap. Plus, this whole thing just reads like a long high school yearbook signing, so I'm ending it here with a bigfork you to anyone who's pissed that I left them out. To cap it off for anyone who's still re~ding, here are some words of wisdom: "Memory, so sad and sweet. I'll see you soon, save me a seat."

2. The gap between that semi and fl atbed pickup that Li sa drove her Civic through was somehow smaller than the car itself.

3. I was ready for the party. I was actually surprised that

everyone in the room was just sitting around . I was also immediately aware of the fact that, of the 18 Guardian affiliates present, I was the only non-editor besides little C harlie (and Joe, but he worked for the business office). Really, the only people I even slightly knew were Alison and Jenny, who were my editors. It did not look good.

The Guardian changed after that trip, and ['m not just talking for me . Everyone could tell. Putting out UCSD's newspaper was always top priority, don't get me wrong. But the Guardian evolved into its own social scene as well .

Vince. Rain Man. To this day, 1 have no idea how you were chief for an entire year and came out so squeaky clean. You'll have to teach me that trick sometime. You're the ultimate sport and you seem to have infinite patience - even when I decide it's time for 20 questions.

Lauren, working with you this year has been a pleasure. You did the job of twO people without flinching, and you somehow managed to avoid insanity after a year in the A-No Jelly LIC management unit- Kudos.

The 2002 San Diego fair to pay tribute to the king Rock and roll sound of Elvis Presley to permiate the fairgrounds at Del Mar By KEELY HYSLOP Staff Writer

This summer, be sure to grab a "Hunk-a-Hunk-a Summer run" as the San Diego County

Fair kicks off June 15 with its 2002 theme: Elvis: A Tribute to the King of Rock & Roll.

rormerly the Del Mar Fair, the fair will run through July 7. [t will be open weekdays from II a.m. to IOp.m. and on weekends from 10 a.m . [0 11 p.m.

This year's fair promises to showcase many old favorites ,including the Innd annual exhibition of art, an open livestock competition a flower and garden competition and plenty of local craft venders. As evidenced by this year 's name change, the fair will also feature a few departures, such as the "Flying Elvi."

Calling and Lifehouse, as well as Barry Manilow, Three Dog Night, Little Richard and The Temptations.

There will also be the Steel Pulse Reggae Festival and a comedy show put on by Wayne Brady of "Mo's Line is it Anyway" fame .

The fair will , appropriately enough, open with "Elvis, The Concert," featuring Elvis, semi -live on a giant video screen, performing his greatest concert hits with music played live by his original band and singers.

Also on h~nd will be a huge selection of original Elvis memorabilia, enough to make any fan orcollector salivate.

The 2002 San Diego County fair will be the first fair to be allowed by Elvis Presley Enterprises to exhibit Presley's motorcycles, velvet furniture , golf carts, concert costumes, the suit Elvis wore when he met President Nixon and his prize collection of law enforcement badges.

First featured in the Nicolas Cage comedy "Honeymoon in Vegas," these parachuting Elvis impersonators will give an airborne performance, featuring fireworks and precision maneuvers. Upon reaching earth, will give an overthe -top stage show, free with admission at the closing day of the fair.

Interestingly enough, this event isn 't just a beloved community event. It's also a histori c tradition.

to thank all of our advertisers. Without

university funding, The Guardian relies on local,

national, and on-campus advertisers to

provide UCSD and the surrounding communities with this award-winning newspaper. Also, each

year, Guardian advertisers enable Triton students to gain valuable

work experience for post-UCSD careers_

Journalism, Webl?age management, office &

computer database maintenance,

sales & marketing, distribution, illustration &

photography are some areas wherein our student

employees can gain hands-on training. For

this, and for everything else, thanks!

Thl Koala girls go after each other not once, but twice. The Koala shortstop puking out of his window while driving off. Fortunately, the alcohol has pretty much disintegrated most of my memory of the actual game, which we lost.

Not all my Guardian memories have to do with alcohol, though . I fondly remember getting pre pared to be arrested with some other editors at the Koala trial when we protested for media access and student knowledge of the trial. I will also miss joking around with the copy hoes (Maryam , you so weren 't interested in that story I was telling you; and Carrie, your stalking skills must be top-notch, because I

Other memories include: getting slaughtered weekly in softball as a part of the Guardian Mystic Rage team (Delta Sig, you were scared for five innings), passing out with my eyes open at the Guardia'l end-ofthe-year party last year, and everyone thinking I had died.

OK, so maybe a lot of my Guardian memories do involve alcohol. But what do you expect from over-stressed college students trying to respond to the impossible expectations of the reading audience? I think being an alcoholic is required to work at the Guardian. As my time and space quickly fade, I'd like to thank my fellow Guardianites. We've shared many stories, fastfood meals, headaches, jokes, hopes, dreams, problems, drinks and memories. And I don't think there's enough alcohol in the world to erase all of those.

To ask: " What is the Con?" is a deceptively simple question . Sure, ~here are plenty of booths from almo t every comic book company in America, but this event offers so much more . The massive Convention Center complex is utilized to provide many different events simultaneously. The entire lower floor will be the

If you want to buy anything from authentic medieval weapons, to collectable figures, to rare comics, the main hall holds a plethora of purchasable goods.

As with every year, there is a spectacular array of celebrity speakers who give talks about their work. Among those making an appearance this year are Spike of pike & Mike' animation fe tivals; AI Feldstien of

awaited time: summer, when the glistening and sun-kissed gods and goddesses of Southern Ca lifornia flock to the seaside to pass away their idle hedonistic hours in revelry.

And where can these pleasurCc-seekers go to fulfill their need for sun and adventure? The answer lies in a wooden building that lies snugly in MIssion Bay Park and serves as the home for the largest instructional waterfront facility in the United States: the Mission Bay Aquatic Center.

The Mission Bay quatic Center was founded in 1971 as a joint cooperative vent\Jre by San Diego's colleges and universities, includi ng UC D and SDSU. The facility is open to all member of the collegiate comm\Jnity, staff, students, alumni and thei r families. For those unfortunate OllIs who find that they are not affiliated with a local university or college but would still like to partake in the activities, facilities and courses offered by the aquatic center, they must register with the SDSU College of E ·tended Studies.

The impressive facility boasts a lounge with a fireplace, classrooms, shops, locker rooms with howers, dock, rowing center and numerous other amenities that probably mcan little to those unfamiliar to the aquatic recreation scene.

urrounding the wooden edifice are

sunny, sandy beaches and green grassy lawns with picnic tables and barbeque areas. So if you aren't a fishing or boating aficionado, you can still enjoy the region with a picnic or gathering. In addition to these play areas, there are also sport facilities that include tennis courts, basketball courts and swimming areas.

Being partly funded by the California Department of Boating and Waterways, the Mission Bay Aquatic Center offers classes on boating safety and boating laws. For those interested in pursuing a career in cOl1lmercial boating (e.g. carrying passengers), a U.S. Coast Guard captain's licensing course is also offered, designed by the Maritime Institute, Inc.

For those novict;s wishing to experiment with water sports and recreation , the aquatic center offers numerou classes from surfing to byaking; and even fishing, all at reasonable prices that can range from $25 to $90 for UCSD students. What can be more tantalizing than being taught the art of surfing by a fetching young instructor?

Already a pro? Then fear not; rentals are offered at discount prices for students. They are available for one day (8 a.lll. until 6 p.m.) or up to a week. Equipment available for walk-in rental includes surfboards (soft and fiberglass), wetsuits, body boards, kayaks , afety devices, wakeboard and

One of the most intere ting visual events is the Masquerad e, in which people di play their larger-than-life and unquestionably spectacular cosrume designs. Each participant is given a few minutes to dazzle the audience with their presentation and the best is awarded a trophy and cash pri7.e. As one of the most widely-attended events at the Convention Center, seating is limited and a ticket is required.

Popular sci-fi is always strong in presence, receiving its fair hare of merchandise and fan support. Without fail , people attend as their favorite character, with Klingons getting the most frequent appearance. People-watching is one of the most vibrant parts of the event. The most costumed people can be seen on Saturday -the same day as the Masquerade Ball - but every day yields its own particular flavor of costumes.

For anyone interested in many different aspects of pop culture, the annual event is the place to be - the unveilings, previews, freebies and freaks make for an unforgettable time. Just be prepared to pay. Preregistration ends June 12 and full membership until then costs $55. One-day prices are considerably less, with some restrictions. For specifics about dates,

water skis. For those who are more experienced, after passing an orientation or taking a class on safety and use procedures on the equipement, more specialized equipment is available for rent, including: sabots, lasers, kayaks, windsurfers and rowing wherries.

Another facet of the aquatic center that might strike many as remarkable is that of the accessible water SpOrts. At the Mission Bay Aquatic Center, special classes in water skiing and freedom sailing have been adapted for people with disabilities so that anyone can participate in and enjoy water SpOrts. Outside of (hese two das e , which were formed pecifically for the disabled, anyone with disabilities is encouraged to register for any classes offered .

So whether you arc looking to learn how to conquer the waves or just hang out and check out the horries in their natural habir-dt, Mission Bay Park offers all the facilities you could possibly imagine to tickle your fancy and keep you busy. To register for classes or for use of the facilities, stop by the Mi sion Bay Aquatic Center at 1001 Santa Clara Place, or call (858) 488-1036.

Burning Man Festival

In earch of the fasci nating and the entertaining this summer? You needn't go far. The Burning M.an festival in Nevada's Black Rock Desert ( 120

Kenriel< leung/Guardian miles north of Reno) is one of

the nation's premiere pyrotechnic art festivals.

The festiva I is kicked off the weekend before the Labor Day and runs for about a week. Fantastic art display are provided by attending individuals, while the centerpiece of the festival is tile ever-growing Burning Man . ow standing nearly 40 feet tall, the Burning Man, which always burns the Saturday night before Labor Day, is an awesome spectacle in the desert night sky.

The event, however, is not your typical conve ntion or fair. The fact that the event is completely commerce-free is evidence. The last few years, the four-sq uare-mile festival ha s drawn party-goers, bikers and others who live on the more extreme ends of life 's grand spectrum. Raves al 0 pop uJl all over what becomes a massive campsite.

udity is a recurrent theme at the festival, which for the most part requires one type of extreme look or another. While some will rap the ir bodies in police c,1ution tape and drip different colored waxes over their hair and face, others will choose to display the more natural artwork of the unaltered human form.

But one thing is certain : Tho e at the festival do not take kindly ta students who show up wearing their favorite jeans and a college sweatshirt. I f you plan to make the trip , be su re to remember that people are no t encouraged to nttend the festival, they are encouraged to pm1icinte.

Burning Man is a favorite for pyromaniacs, photojournalists, exhibitionists and those who appreciate off-beat visual arts that our very own campus occasionally IIlcurs.

This year's theme is "The Floating World." It runs from Aug. 26 to Sept. 2. For more information, including a complete first-timers' guide to the eve nt, visit http://www.bI1171ingmnn.com.

The Bourne Identity Starnng Matt Damon, Franka Po tente and Ju lia Stiles

Plot: J ason Bourne has no memory. \\'hen his hullet-riddled bod\' washes ashore in the Mediterranean, Bourne ha s no idea W}lO he is . T he only thing to help him figure it out i, ,1

microfilm implanted und er his skin . The film leads Bourne to a hank account and a nalile that could be his own, but marks him a wanted man and hil1t~ that he is a secret ag-c nt. Determin ed to out his true idemin'. Bourne emharks on a mis~ion to find hllm~ lr. A

task that proves da~nting when armed forces would rather sec him dead.

Outlook: Thi~ is ,\1<1 tt Damon ', fir~t action film. l Ie i .. aCCOl11p,lnied through tlle fast paced lhrill ride by Franka Potente ("Run Lola

Run"), who has g iven up her neon hair to play tile role of Maric. The characte r of J ason Bourne is proficient in tile martial arts, but Damon, as Bourne, seems surpri sed every time he lets a punch fly. Potenre has retained some of her "Lola" grit and keeps up amicably with Damon 's

attempts at a tough guy. Sadly, th e ro mance that flourishes between the two character, i, forced . udience hould look for exciting ca r chases and Julia Sti les as a computer wh iz.

Minority Report Starn'1g Tom CrUise, Cohn Farrell and Samantha Mor'tof'l

Plot: In the funm.:, th ere cxi,p, the ca pabi lit} to catch criminal .. and charge them lor tTll11<:' that the), are about to cOlllmit. The system is considered perfect el'en by Chief Paul nderton (Cruise), who has made a career Out of jumping through roofs of unsuspecting funlre-criminals. But suddenly nderron himself is labeled a funlre criminal and tile hunter becomes the hunted. Suspecting foul pl ay by his colleague, conniving Danny \ Vitwer (Farrell), Anderton sets out to defend himself and prove tile system wrong.

Outlook: This latest insta llment from the Spiclberg camp looks promising. T he "isual effects alone will draw audiences to the theater. The scene where Cmise jumps from one movin g space-vehicle to anoth-er looks particularly breathtaking. The story al 0 has its attractive quali-ties. There is the question, though, of ho\\ three people, partially submerged in a large swimming pool, can ee Ihe future. Briti sh newcomer Samantha Morton plays one of rhe three clairvoyants and th e one who Cruise personali y chooses to he lp him escape life as a criminal. "Minority Report" will hopefully not be as daunting as "A. L" and just as good at "E.T." You may need a swimming pool full of psychics to tell you exactly how good, though.

ju ly 3 Men In Black II

Starring Will Smith, Tommy Lee jones and Lara Flynn Boyle

Plot: The men in black are back. This sequel to the 1997 summer hi t reunites Agenl .l (Smith) wirh retired Agenr K Oones) as members of an excl usive government agency designed to keep tabs on extraterrestrials living on Earth. When a daunting task arises in the agency, Agent K has to be taken out of retirement a a U.S. postal clerk and be reinstated in the un ique force of inter-galactic crime fighters. The team of Agents K and J find dlemselves up against (he beautiful Serleena (Boyle) , who is plotting a da ca rdly deed agai nst human kind . In order to foil Serl eena 's plan , K andJ pursue an investiga tion that brings them in contact with a host of outrageous character, all with their 0 \\11 intergalactic quirks, including some that eat subway trains.

Outlook: Will Smith should put a patent on the Jul y 4th weekend because, in th e past, h e has virtually owned it. This summer will probably be no different as audiences everywhere anxiously await the return of

dynamic duo Agents K and J. Holding fast to the t raditi on of summer fun, "Men in Black 2" promi ses nothing deep besides a good belly- laugh. Fi ve

years after the first "Men in Black," the ideas of ali ens amongst us i sti ll exciti ng. More interesting, though , is whether the chemistry between J ones and Smith still exists. Hopefully, Smith's familiarity with the role of J won't dampen his comedi c antics. Audiences will find Lara Flynn Boyle an interesting choice as an evil doer, complete with " bad mojo" and big hair. But let's face it, audiences are most exci ted to see Frank the talking pug.

july 26

Goldmember Starring: Mike Myers, Beyonce Knowles. Seth Green and Michael Caine

Plot: "Goldmember" is Mike Myers ' final Austin Powcrs movie. In "Goldmembcr," Dr. Evil and Mini-M e have escaped from prison and align with the formidablc and flexible Goldmember (Myers) to hatch a plan for, YO\J guessed it: world domination . This timc, though, Dr. Evil plans to kidnap Austin Powers' fa tllCr, igel Powers (Caine). In order to save his father,· Powers must "re-connect" with old gi rlfriend FoXX)' Cleopatra (Knowles), who is a detective . The two sleuths then make their way around the world and through various decades to save the senior Powers and tile world.

Outlook: Thi s final segment to the scries that has become internationally popular is on even par with the wackincs of the last two films. Mike Myers has decided to end the Austin Powers dynasty on a groovy nOte; no one should expcct less from the international man of mystery. However, by taking on four parts for the film, Myers may be stretching h imself thin . The laughs, though , will sti ll corne from other arenas. The cast feanlres a va ri etY of celebrities, among them Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey and Brinic)' Spears, playing themselve . Strangely enough, Katie Couric landed the part of a security guard. Audiences may be pleased to find out that Fat Bastard will re turn and Mini-M e i still played by Vern e Troyer. There will also be a ",v1.i ni Austin" incorporated into tile plot, who Troyer will also play. Despitc bringing old characters back, "Gold member" will still spark enth usiasm with new personalitics such a\ the sexy Fook M i. The finale to ustin Power, ' adventures is sure to be goldcn foo l's gold.
