China· demands U.S. apology

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -Black and Hispanic admissions to the Universiry of California increased "in the first year of a progral" guaranteeing a Spol for the top 4 percent of high school gradilates.

UC officials say they don't yet know if the new program was directly n:sponsible, although it seems li kely since the plan boosted applications from those groups.

Figun:s released Tuesday oo the Fall 2001 freshl11llll class continued a foor-ycar trend of steady increases in black and Hispanic enroll-ment. following sharp drops immediately fol-lowing the end of affirmatiw: action.

Admissions of underrepresented minori· tics -blacks. Hispanics and American Indians -for the fal l semester are up by about 17 perccn~ from 7 ,336 last year to 8,S8Q. Proportionately, underrepresented mi norities make up 18.6 percent of in.state freshman admissions, compared to 18.8 perccn\ in 1997, Jhe last year race and gen· dcr were taken into account

Body ~vered in Alaska waters· ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -A fish-

The body of one crew member from the Arctic Rose was recovered Monday. Officials did not identify the victim.

The Coast Guard planned to continue i1s search Tuesday but warned rescue effons could be hampered by forecasts of 20- 10 25·foo1 waves -and 40 kno1 winds.

"Any1ime you get a system like that it hampers 1he search effons. The winds make ii harder to find people in the water," said Coast Guard spokeSman Keith Alholm.

HAIKOU. China (AP) -Chinese Presidcnl Jiang Z.Cmin demanded an American apology for a collision be1ween a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter jct. But China's foreign minister hint· ed Wednesday at a way out of the crisis, saying Beijing wants a quick but dign ified settlement

The White House ruled out any apology, a day after Pn:sident Bush • warned that tics with Beijing could suffer unless it quickly releases the EP-3E plane. which made an emergency lancJ. ing on a Chinese island. and the 24 crew members.

Washington "shoukl bear all responsibilities for the collisioo inciden~" Jiang said, quoted by the official Xinhua News Agency. "The U.S. side should apologiu: to the Chinese people." The Chinese pilot is still missing after parachuting from his fighter °""r the South China Sea on Sunday.

Jiang demanded that lhe

United States "do something favorable to the smooth develop-ment of China·U.S. relations, rather than make remarks that confuse right and ~rong and are bannfut to the relations,'"' Xinhua said.

The Chinese president· left later Wednesday for a six~nation visit to Latin America, sticking to his official schedule despite U.S. complaints that Chinese lcadcB haw: failed to focus oo setlling the conflict. Jiang arrives Thursday in Chi1e and also is to visit Argentina, Uruguay, Cuba. Venezuela and Brazil.

U.S. officials said Wednesday that the crew indicated they man-ased to destroy at least some of the electronic intelligcnce-gather-ing equipment and data aboard the plane before !)landed. Earlier, U.S. military omcials said they believe Chinese officials had boarded the piane and examined

Among the charges leveled by Pf>Secutor Aniano · ~ Dljftno were' plunder -de.fined as illegally accumulat· ing_ more than $ I million while t in office. Plunder is a capital crime, but it is considered doubtful Est rada would get th death penalty.

The Philippines· anti·graft coun, the Sandiganbayan, must now decide whether the charges arc solid enough to issue an arrest warrant for the oncep .. hugely popular action film star. No decision was expected in the

next few days. Immigration Commissioner

Andrea Dom~ngo said she ordered round-the-clock surveil-lance at airports nationwide to ensure Estrada doesn't try to flee.

Estrada said he has no . plans to leave the coun·

British attempt to end foot-and-mouth

TEDBURN ST. MARY. England (AP) - Roger Cann does Jn: believe vaccination would have saved the 300 cattle and 100 sheep that graud his land from cootract-ing foot·and--th disease. "-

A feW. miles away along a twisting country lane, Mary Quickc says vaccination could be used to build "firewalls" around infected farms like Cann's to pro-tect healthy dairy herds like hers.

Spring Break won't stop Passover By MELANIE SCHAFFER SUNDIAL STAFF

T he Jewish holiday of P:!ssover stans #on Saturday, and CSUN's Hillel Student Jewish

Many activities have been sched-uled for this week rather than the actu-al week of l'assover, said Robyn Amster, program director of CSUN Hillel. .

To. be or not to be involved A pathy. We all have heard

the .word, but do we truly , understand its meaning?

Defined, apathy is lack of emo-tion, according to Webster's New World College Dictionary.

S1udent apathy seems to be imbedded in this campus when it comes to issues, shown in the past when only a whopping near-lhree percenl of th"e actual stu\lent pop-ulation took the time to vote. We cheer for men's basketball, but do we care about the budget? •

In this day and age, it seems as if students don •t know or eYen care about the issues. And then what makes it worse is when stu-dents get all riled up·over issues 1hey truly cannot change.

The recent Associated Students election shOuld reHect that af&umenL All of the candi-dates for president and vice pres-ident were promoting change to lireas'over which they have little or no control.

Preaching about fixing 'J"lrk-ing and class avai lability are topics A.s.. presidents can't directly affect; an they can do is sit on a committee and voice their opinions. ~

Yet those are two areas which students are concerned about. Why? We are a commuter school. hence there wilt alw.!'ys be park-ing problems. If the student pop-ula:tion · grows, . more parking problems Yfll ~nsue,

Which l'liads us into class

availability. If more students come in. how can class avail-ability improve?

We aren't discouraging student involvement by any means -heck, most students aren't involved anyway. We're saying students need IO be involved for somethfng that can create a gteilter &..~ • _

bers of Movimiento Es1udiantil Chicano/a de Aztlan rallied in protest of CSUN's lack of involvement in the alleged unfair wage practice-sand work-er abuse by a painting company working on campus.

That is something we should pay attention to. What is our

, ·school going to do about the com-plaint, and how wilf i!'hanaie:tlle' • larger issue of workers' rights 09 the many campus construction sites? No matter what side we're on, we as students should want more information on issues like this. not just gripe about gelling to class a few minutes late because of monstrous parking.

Also, if we let important social issues on our campus go unno-ticed, the school may think they can get away without answering lo the student body.

Students need 10 question choices made about our campus, but we need 10 realize the thingi; we have the power 10 change. By caring about what is important on our campus and not little things, we can entice our student leaders 10 do the same. < """-

It would be great to hear A.S . presidential candidates say 1hey will not allow non-

union workers to be employed on ca'mpus. or that if a student or faculty member is charged with a crime we will not toler-ate it and they should be dis-missed. I! would be great, in fact, if they stood for any1hing other than better parking.

We have moved ahead from the standard popu larity con,-ldt.Iha~ ei<'fuS- iilftifgli" scoob1" '' elections.

Shallow promises along 1be lines of shorter lunch lines and ice cream every Friday_ are not going 10 get candidates elected, and these promises students should not support.

Support a candidate who wants to fiX the problems, who knows the issues and cares · about the workings of the school, not empty promises ·stu-dents want to hear but can never be accomplished.

Yes, apathy is pathe1ic, but caring about issues you have no control over is tiresome.

Diabetes runs in my family. What can I do to prevent get-ting It? How often should I have my blood tested and what is a normal count?

There are two types of dia-betes: juvenile onset and adult onset diabeles. The juvenile ·onset is insulin-dependent. The adult onset can usually be con-trolled with oral medication, although insulin may need to be

added in some cases to maintain good sU:gar control. l~is the adult onset type that has a. genetic component and runs in families.

If you have jt in your family the beSt thing you can do is maintain a normal weight. and keep up with a steady exercise program. You should get a base-line fasting blood ~ugar, and by fasting we mean no food ,or drink for 12 10 14 hours before the blood test. A normal fasting

blood sugar is 7010 11 0 (mg/di). I would suggest a yearly fast-

ing blood sugar, but get one if you have increased thirst or uri· nation, especially increased night-time urination. These are symptoms of symptomatic dia-be\es. So be pro-active, exercise, keep the weight ifnder control and see your doctor.

An injectable that's 99% effective without the daily hassle. Lune/le is a combo of hormones that works continuously-all month long. Given on time each month by your doctor, prescription Lune/le gives you birth control that's 99% effective. That means you get monthly pregnancy protection without the daily hassle-without the daily worry-of taking the Pill. And if you want to get pregnant? Most women get back to ovulating about two to three months after receiving their last injection. LuneJJe.doesn't protect . agajnst HIVLAIQ:> •or .q!9er. sexuallv_lrjpsmjtl11d,,' · • ; .. :~ • • ~ '. . H'onnonal birth control isn't for everyone. Pregnant women or women with blood clots, chest pain, certain cancers, unexplained vaginal bleeding. or a history of liver disease, stroke, or heart attacks shouldn't take Lune/le. Serious risks that can be life threatening include blood clots, stroke, and heart attack. And hey no smokjngl It increases these risks esoes:jally if you're over 35 and smoke 15 or more cigarettes a day. -

During the first few months of taking Lune/le, most wpmen have a change in their periods, which may include no bleeding. irregular bleeding. or spotting. This change may continue with use in up to one third of women. In studies, while some women lost we.ight on Lune/le, the average change was an increase of 4 pounds in the first year. But you should know. some women gained 10 or more pounds in the first year.

So ask your healthcare professional about new Lune/le. Why worry about taking a daily Pill when there's monthly. Lune/le? Birth control ipspired b~ moon.

Lune/le. In sync with the moon and you.

Film filled' with moronic humor ana senseless violence By MIKE FONTANA SUNOlAL !TAFF

In the cra,..of teenage lo young adult._ films 3bout losers and men who '\hink with only one part of their anatomy. there does come a time when the genre must be shoved back in the vault and not opened for a couple of years.

Even if the film is funny. it becomes t overdone and with repetition comes 1he use of more sick jokes and vingeues.

Enter "Tomcats.'' 1he new movie from Columbia Pictures directed by Gregory P9irier. Now don' t get

. me wrong. the movie is hilarious, however, it is mornlly wrong.

In an effort tb be th~ last

The film is packed with senseless ·violence,

moronic humor ,-.... , and gratuitous ,

1 sex. standing tomcat, a guy who sleeps with as many women as possible, a group of guys make a bet that the last one to stay single gets a whole lot of money.

The catch is, lhe money is not just $ I 00 or even $1,000. but each of the them put SI 00 into the stock market for it to accumulate interest.

Flash forward to seven years later. All bot two guys are still in the running for the pot. now worth nearly half a million bucks.

While in Las Vegas, Michael Delaney (Jerry O'Connell ), one of the two who aren•t married. falls on hard times while playing craps and unfortunately drUJns up a $51,000 debt. which he cannot pay.

Bigger problem; the ca,sioo boss tells him he has 30 days to pay it off or he will feel like one of Joe Pesci's enemies in "Goodfellas:·

Enter Kyle Brenner (Jake

Busey). Delaney's best friend and the other last standing bachelor in \he group. Jf he can marry Brenner off in 30 days, he gets >the money and keeps his life.

To do this. he must try and find · the one girl Brenner ever had more than a feeling in his hip pocket for. Her name is Na tal ie Parker (Shannon Elizabeth). She and Brenner met at a wedding a few years prior.

Of course during the lime of attempting to reunite Brenner and Parker, Delaney falls in love with her. aild is torn by ... hi s feelings. _ What ~o . do? Marry off the woman he loves and get .rich, or be with her, but fort,onjy close to 30 days. · What a dile~a. •

As one can guess, crazy. outrageous and disgusting antics e~ue duri ng his pursuit for the money.

A 'Tale' of .abuse· Play deals with imagination and issues of child abuse. By CYNTHIA C. JAQUEZ SUNDIAL STAFF

Agoose. a boy arid his imagination, along y.iith a colorful pahoramic

background of reds. blues and sounds of nature , brought the chi ldhood abuse of a boy living in rural 1950s Quebec to life.

"The Talc ofTeeka," written by Michel Marc Bouchard and direc1ed' by Daniel Meilleur took place Tuesday and Wednesday at the Perfonning Arts Center with a panel diJcussion following Tuesday's performance.

. A .. classicaJ fairy 1aJe," -as described b~ f.:"eilleur, buL with a

contemporary twist tells the story of a scared and confused boy growing up in 1 a time when child abuse seeined non-existent, or at least was not considered abuse.

The role of the goose is played by Normand Daoust While Daouso has no ventri loquist abi lilies. he managed to parade up and down stage with a goose hand puppet named Teeka and convince the audience that a goose actua lly graced the stage.

Maurice, the boy who wears a red baseball cap and glasses is played by Yves Dagenais. a talented actor who uses childhood memories of his own to reenact the ability to use imagination as an escape from harsh realities.

Meilleur. Bouchard, set designer Daniel Castonguay, and music and sound by Michel ·Robidoux created the mood for the ·al.!dience to re0ec1 on abuses people face, and the humiliations of

. them. Using the goose as a symbol of fidelity and angel-like qualities, the cast of three explained the paradox ' of a friendship between

the goose and the boy. 11 also explained how the boy retaliates his anger and frustration of abuse to his beloved friend.

During the performance. the audience was brought into a world of neurosis, where Maurice escapes his red scared back from the lashes of the be lt and a broken arm by pretending he is Tarzan, and praying to Bulamutumumo, the god of lhe jungle.

The panel discussion featured women involved with different aspects of preventing violence in the home. They congratulated the perfOrmers for giving such a moving perform)mce about chiJd abuse.

Since April Is child abuse and sexual assault awareness month, the primary focus for the panel was how they related the performance to real life situations.

Pam Booth, a Deputy District Attorney and· head Deputy of the Family Violence Division said that seeing the actors perfonnance, of how the boy reflects his agger towards his pet animal is often what happens in real life situations.

In tfie age of 'spiritual Machines' A&E Calendar ,I .

The year is ~029, th!! machines. will convince us that th y are conscious that they have their own agenda worthy of our respect. They'll embody human qualities, they'll claim to be human, and we 'II believe them - Ray Kurzwei/ (R.K. Intro)

By SIMONE SCHRAMM A&:E.EDITOR

Machines have taken over our lives. From toasters· to cars to

computers, our 21st century existence is in some way, shape or fonn programmed by machines. 'Even the human mind is a machine.

"Spiritual Machines," 1he excellent new CD by Our Lady Peace embodies this existence perfectly with 15 1racks thal verbally and musically . portrays the relationship between humans and machines as if they were one entity.

Though the subject matter is nothing new lO the World of pop, or better yet, alternative music, the idea that we are somehow mentally connected to lhe worid of technology has intrigued ~umankind for a longtime.

• '- ]be words talk about the modejll-day angst mosl of us feel ~ one point or another. The haid guilar riffs along with angry and somewhat distorted vocals encoillpass a futuristic.,., and machine-like mood. .

Guitarist Mike Turner came up with the idea for the concept of this album after reading Ray Ku12weil's "The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computer. Exceed

Human Intelligence." The band's interest in the philosophy of this book penneates 1hroughout the album, most notably during strategically-placed, bizarre snippets of Kurzweil reciting passages from lhe book.

ThesC sound bytes along with unearthly background

~ music convey a sense of fear and desolation in the future. According to Kurzweil, the distinction· between humans and compu~ has become so blurred that compuier. begin to believe they arc human and

· that they are equal, if not superior " to the human race. These quotations take us through time beginning with lhe year 2029 in "R.K. 2029" ('Compu~er domination and liberation) and going back co 1949 in "R.K. 1949-97," (think aboul George Orwell's book " 1984"). They arc eerie reminders of our own society's total dependence ~>n

technology. One song lhat certainly,..

displays the fine tine between human and machine is "In Repair," a happy1"unding metallic ditty wittf\sCrious undertones. This song takes the li stener on a journey into the lhoughfl; of a friend 1elling

· a friend that when you 're hurt, lhe hurt can always be fixed (or dealt wilh).

Vocalist Raine Maida's

sorrow for his friend is passionately heard as his voitc quavers each'lyric. :..-...;,..

Because of Spring Break. Hillel will not host an actual Pasoover Seder as in pa.st years. but students li!lve the option of holding their own Seder.

''Good Friday is the holiest · of holy days," Hanson said. '1t is the day God the Soo gave his life, and through his sacrifice on the cross, he defeated sin. death and the power of the devil."

Easter's date changes yearly because it is associated with the Jewish holiday of Passover, based on the lunar Hebrew cal-endar.

Hanson said the three ancient symbols are the emp1y tomb, the butterfly and the egg.

'7he empty tomb was a cave with a stone rolled away from the entrance. with bright light emanating from the tomb."

Simonyan leads Matadors in st~ong seas~n By NATALIE SWISHE~ CONTRIBUTING WRITER J

S imp,ly put. Matador sophomore women's tennis player Tercza Simonyan is jUSl nice.

People who know Simonyan will agree she is somewhat shy and pas-sive. Her SQft voice cul her lhoughts shon, uncenain if she wants to sa.y anymore. SimonJ an's attentiveness is obvious and she shows a genuine interesf'lin what you have to Say.

But when it comes to renni s. Simonyan is completely different when she is on ttle court.

Her 21-6 singles record !ells it all. Simonyan is small in stature, but a monumeor "When it comes to tennis.

" If you 're not an :mimal on the coun. people will take advanrnge of tha1:· Simonyan said. '"Tennis players are always trying to take advantage or

you. intimidate you and beat you." "I've never met anybody that did-

n't like Tercza unless they were com-peting against her," Matador tennis coach Gary Victor said.

Simonyan grew up in Yerevan, Armenia where her fondest memories arc of the summer vacations she took with her family to the Black Sea. She has always been athletic, having been involved in gymnastics. swimming and track and field. At three-yeaJll-Old. Simonyan began to swim and found she had a natural love for water. Naturally, she excelled at swimming

.but always longed 10 play tennis. "'There were the courts right beside

1he swimming pool. so every time I was passing by the couns I was like. "Gosh, I want to play tennis';· Simonyan said. "l always used to tell my mom 10 take me to tennis but I was good in swimming so she said to just go with swimming." .

When Siinonyan was 10-year.;-old she decided' she couldn't resis< the chance to play.

''One day my friend went to play ten'nis sO I went with him and we stan-ed playin&_. tennis together," said Simonyan. _.

Simonyari first came to America when she Was 16 years old to play ten-nis in Burbank. S1udents' attitudes and the spoken English language shocked Simonyan when she came.

"I thought I knew it (the language) pretty well, but it was a bit hard to

• understand because everybody spoke so fast," Simonyan said. "Students are really different from AQ11Cnians. In Annenia. everyone is Annenian and a lot of people know each other. Here, yoo don't knot what to expect fronJ · people; there ls so many different cultures and accents. I've gotten used to it and become a pan of it."

When Simonyan went back home, Eric Mann. a friend of Matador women 's tennis head coach Gary Victor, apj>roached Simonyan.

" I didn't even know that there was college spons and college tennis: I had' no idea." said Simonyan. "It sounded fun to come here by myself and live on my own, I talkCd to Gary and he _ offered me a scholar.;hip and I came to CSUN last year."

Althoogh being able to play colle-giate tennis has fulfilled one of her passions. Simonyan h~ a variety of other hobbies. She enjoys listening to classic rock such as Led Zeppelin, the Beatles and the Doors. After Simonyan earned a Sp<)( on the dean's 1ist last semester. school seems to be one of her interests as well. Reading is also something she enjoys, especially the reading she does for her classes.

"I had so much fun with school last year;· Simooyan said. "All my classes I took were so awesome and lhey were things that I would just,.iove to read for my5elf."

Simonyan's experience at CSUN has been nothing les.• than pleasur-able. Simonyan emerged as one of the top players in the 2000 season. play-ing at the No. I and 2 ladder posi· tions. She posted an impressive 20-:l singles record and -nine straight wins in a row. Simonyan was awarded with Big Sky Conference Player of the Week honors on Marth 16.

Simonyan enjoys the coaches, the team, making friends and the persis~ tent practice that makes tennis easier e'f'eryday. CSUN's- atmosphere is what Simonyan likes bes< about col-lege. As fa,. as America, Simonyan values the ~ucation system.
