Misconduct Hearing Delays Spark Discord
For UC Berkeley graduate student Zack Norwood, the last 14 months have been difficult as he struggles to balance work toward com-pleting his degree with countless hours spent deal-ing with his pend-ing student con-duct proceedings.
Though Norwood, who is facing charges stemming from his involvement in the occupation of Wheeler Hall in No-vember 2009, initially planned to gradu-ate last fall or summer, he was forced to delay in part because of time spent deal-ing with student conduct proceedings.
“It affected my classes for sure,” Norwood said. “It’s emotionally bur-densome to deal with, even if it’s not time consuming. ... Do you know the number of hours I’ve spent in meet-ings? Days and days, weeks of time.”
Norwood has been at the campus since 2005 working on a concurrent master’s degree in mechanical engineer-ing — which he completed in 2009 — and doctorate in energy and resources. The proceedings have also had an im-pact on his ability to complete his thesis.
Norwood is one of about a dozen students still waiting for resolution of their conduct hearings for their in-volvement in the protests that shook the campus in November 2009, ac-cording to Sean Graham, a student at the UC Berkeley School of Law and a member of the Campus Rights Project — a group advising students dealing with misconduct charges.
The misconduct proceedings — which have been drawn out over the course of more than 14 months — have stirred contention since their begin-ning, with multiple allegations by stu-

dents of procedural violations and de-lays on the part of the campus, as well as two lawsuits filed by students last semester against hearing panel chairs for their involvement in the process.
In response to these allegations, of-ficials from both the campus and the Center for Student Conduct and Com-munity Standards have maintained that while they cannot comment on specific conduct cases, proceedings have followed the conduct code.
Graham said in an e-mail that the delays in the proceedings constituted an “egregious violation of students’ rights.” The UC’s Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline entitles students to hearings that are “prompt and fair,” but Graham said given the delays, students have had the threat of punishment hanging over their heads, amounting to a “de facto disciplinary probation.”
“It’s ludicrous, and I don’t know how they get away with this sort of process,” Norwood said. “At this point we’ve been punished more than we would have been had we received sanction-ing. ... Our ability to function as stu-dents has been compromised trying to navigate this ridiculous process.”
According to Christina Gonzales, the campus associate dean of students, the delays in the process are due in part to difficulty in assembling hearing panels given the large amount of schedules — of faculty, staff and students on the panels — that have to be juggled for each hear-ing to be scheduled. She added, however, that the campus is trying to “expedite the process as quickly as they can.”
“I can see and hear a little bit of the frustration because it’s taking a while, but this is the process that was out-lined in the code, and we’re following the code,” Gonzales said. “Our goal is to get this completed before the end of
City Aims to Close Refuse Fund Deficit
The city of Berkeley is struggling to decide how best to close a $1.2 million deficit in refuse funding following a report released Tuesday. Jeff Joh/Staff

>> CONDUCt: PAge 2
While the Berkeley City Council has already reduced what was a tow-ering $4 million deficit in the city’s refuse fund at the beginning of the 2011 fis-cal year, a re-port released Tuesday out-lining how the city might close the remaining $1.2 million gap has failed to persuade some council members.
In July, the city entered into a $84,000 contract with Irvine-based consulting firm Sloan Vazquez to evaluate the city’s revenue and ef-

ficacy in spending with regard to its refuse fund, according to city spokes-person Mary Kay Clunies-Ross. The firm’s findings and subsequent rec-ommendations include outsourcing the processing of recycled materials to third parties, terminating the city-funded Ecology Center, conducting audits to ensure that all city services are paid for, eliminating discounts for food waste disposal and reducing the number of workers.
Councilmember Kriss Worthington said he found issues with the method-ology and implications of the consult-ing firm’s study.
“If we spent that much money and we got a comprehensive study that was coordinated with our financial situation and which offered realistic solutions, that would be great,” he
said. “But you get a study that says, ‘You’re broke, and all you need to do is go spend $7 million and everything will be great.’ And if we had the $7 million, I’d be happy to spend it, but we don’t.”
Despite feeling that the report glossed over the complexities of alter-ing city services, Worthington said he agreed with the report’s suggestion — which he claimed he put forth several times in past years — that the city’s now-separate collection services for trash, recycling and green and food waste be consolidated. But he added that making changes to pre-existing services is the answer, and that there is no need to extradite services to com-mercial operations.
Worthington said he filed a request

President Barack Obama announced Wednesday his intent to nominate UC Berkeley Economics and Haas School of Business professor Carl Shapiro to the Council of Economic Advisers.
The council is composed of a chair-man and one member, currently Austan Goolsbee — who is on leave from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business — and Cecilia Rouse, respectively. The council’s role is to advise the president on economic decisions. Pending Senate confirma-tion, Shapiro will take over for Rouse, who will return to teach at Princeton University, from which she is currently on leave.
“Carl Shapiro has demonstrated knowledge and dedication throughout his career,” Obama said in a statement released Wednesday. “I am grate-
by Emma DriesStaff Writer
ful that he has chosen to take on this important role, and I look forward to working with him in the months and years to come.”
Shapiro is currently on leave from UC Berkeley and serves as deputy as-sistant attorney general for economic analysis at the U.S. Department of Justice in the Antitrust Division, a po-sition he also held from 1995 to 1996. From 1998 to 2008, he served as the director of UC Berkeley’s Institute of Business and Economic Research.
“Carl is one of the leading econo-mists in the field of antitrust econom-ics and has been for many years,” said Vice President at Charles River Associ-ates John Hayes, who was previously an economist for the U.S. Department of Justice. “This really is a step beyond that arena ... into a wider field of public policy.”
Shapiro said he could not comment on the nomination currently.
“He brings a unique combination of skills,” said Jonathan Baker, a profes-sor of law at American University, who collaborated with Shapiro in 2008 on a paper regarding merger analysis. “(He has) deep practical experience in crafting public-sector solutions to

Scooter Store Offers green Alternatives
While visiting China in 2007, Vassili Kokkinias, former aerospace engineer turned high school physics teacher, first realized the untapped business potential of electric scooters.
“We had nothing of that sort in America,” he said. “I was enamored al-most instantly.”
One year later, Kokkinias founded the electric scooter company Green Choice Moto in Toronto, Canada. Busi-ness was booming and after two years, he decided to franchise the company and expanded into the United States. Last October, he eventually settled on 2576 Bancroft Way.
“Berkeley was the place to be,” said Kokkinias, CEO of the company. “We really liked the atmosphere and cul-ture and felt it was friendly to what we wanted to do: green transportation.”
The first shipment of electric scoot-ers and bicycles arrived from China in December, when Green Choice Moto

opened its doors. Since then the store has served more than 200 customers.
Prices for the e-bicycles and e-scoot-ers range from $549 to $1,600. The ve-hicles are also available for rent at $10 an hour or $40 for 12 hours.
While gas scooters use only 20 percent of inputted fuel, the electric scooters and bikes use more than 95 percent of the energy from one charge. Each scooter or bike can travel 35 to

ASUC Passes Bill Sponsoring Hip-Hop Concert
In an attempt to raise funds and promote larger campus events for stu-dents, the ASUC Senate passed a bill at its Feb. 23 meeting sponsoring a spring concert tentatively scheduled to feature rap and hip-hop artists Andre Nickatina and Too $hort.
The senate has depleted its Senate Only Fund — which typically funds sen-ate training — by allocating $5,000 for the event, though officials in charge of planning expect to make it back through ticket sales and corporate sponsorships. The allocation of any extra money made will be up to the senate’s discretion.
Student Action Senator Vishalli Loomba, a co-author of the bill, said the total cost of the event has been capped at $25,000, though she added that she hopes for a lower cost.
“The budget is really fluid right now,” Loomba said. “We are negotiat-ing, and $25,000 is the cap, the high-est amount we will pay, but because this is for charity and philanthropy, the

artists understand and we will only be paying them two-thirds of that price.”
Another $2,000 from the Student Opportunity Fund and $500 from the Arts and Creativity Fund have been requested, bringing the senate’s total down payment to $7,500.
Loomba said the event, preliminar-ily scheduled for April 13 or 14, will most likely take place in Pauley Ball-room and that she is confident the sen-ate can sell the 1,000 tickets necessary to fill the space and cover event costs.
To pay for the remaining costs of the event, Loomba said she is seeking corporate sponsorship from businesses such as CampusCred and Red Bull, but she said sponsorship packets cannot be sent out until the artists’ contract is set.
According to Hedy Chen, chief of staff in the office of the executive vice presi-dent, money raised through ticket sales — which she said will likely cost between $20 and $25 — and sponsorship will be used to replenish the Senate Only Fund and also to the Senate Contingency Fund, which is used to fund student groups.
Although the bill passed with 15
votes in favor and none in opposition, there were five abstentions. CalSERVE Senator Kenny Gong, one of those who abstained, said he had issues with the nature of the artists’ music.
“I think the politics around the ways that they objectify women is problem-atic,” Gong said. “I don’t support the artists, and in the future I want to take into account the politics and potential lyrics and music artists have.”
Garrett Marker, president of UC Berke-ley’s Kappa Alpha Order and co-author of the bill, said he has been working with Loomba to plan the event because of his contacts in the music industry as well as a connection from a concert performed at his fraternity house by rapper E-40 on the day of the Big Game, Nov. 19.
“The event at my house was fun and good for all the guys, but we want it more open to campus in general, and not just a Greek system thing,” Marker said.
Now that the bill has passed, he said he hopes to officially sign the artists by Feb. 27.

School District to Establish New Attendance Board
Students who frequently skip their classes in the Berkeley Unified School District in the next school year will have to appear before a new panel specifically created to abate district truancy rates by addressing repeated offenders on a case-by-case basis.
The district’s Board of Education members voted at a meeting Wednes-day to establish a district-wide School Attendance Review Board that, start-ing this fall, will assess cases of students with recurring unexcused absences.
by Jeffery ButterfieldStaff Writer
According to a monthly school enroll-ment report, the district’s average daily attendance in December was 8,798 — 802 students short of the district’s 9,600 total enrollment.
The new review board will function less as a disciplinary body than as a fo-rum for parents or guardians — along with district officials — to help iden-tify the reasons why a student may be missing school.
“Often times when a student is tru-ant, there is some underlying reason that is on some level legitimate,” dis-trict Director of Student Services Su-san Craig said at the meeting. “That’s what usually comes out in the SARB hearing.”
According to Craig, personnel from a district school health center and men-tal health professionals will be avail-able at the hearings if factors regarding a student’s wellness are contributing to his or her deficient attendance. The board will also broach issues of safety
such as bullying or harassment and work with school officials to resolve those problems.
“At the elementary level, the focus is more on holding the parent respon-sible,” Craig said. “At the high school level, the focus is more on holding the student responsible. For middle school, it really depends. It could go either direction.”
A student will appear before the review board only after multiple in-stances of intervention fail to prevent additional truancy on his or her at-tendance record. Craig said a student will meet with the School Attendance Review Board after three truancy let-ters are sent home by the school and after attending two school-level tru-ancy meetings.
Under state law, a school must send the first truancy letter to students in grades kindergarten through 12 after

the semester.”However, at a public hearing last Fri-
day for senior Julian Martinez — a stu-dent charged with misconduct for partic-ipating in the Wheeler Hall occupation in November 2009 — Thomas Frampton, a campus law student and member of the Campus Rights Project, alleged that while campus officials have maintained that staff layoffs are part of the reason for delays, information from public records shows that this was not the case.
According to the records, since Janu-ary 2010 the campus held about 25 panel hearings and resolved around 29 cases.
According to Susan Trageser, direc-tor for the Center for Student Conduct and Community Standards, the con-duct code outlines options for a stu-dent to resolve his or her conduct case either informally through an adminis-trative disposition or formally through a hearing, and the duration of conduct cases depends on a variety of factors.
“The length of time to reach resolu-tion will vary depending on the com-plexity of the case, number of persons involved, and level of engagement by the responding student in the conduct process,” Trageser said in an e-mail.
According to Marika Iyer, a junior peace and conflict studies major facing misconduct charges for her involve-ment in the occupation of Wheeler Hall in November 2009, as a result of the delays, some students trying to gradu-ate by the end of this semester have had to settle their cases because otherwise their degrees could be withheld.
The campus Code of Student Con-duct states that “an academic degree may be deferred when disciplinary proceedings are pending.”
Iyer said that despite the delays she has faced, she will continue with the conduct proceedings.
“The biggest reason that I’m stick-ing with this process is that I still have a big sense that I didn’t do anything wrong that day,” Iyer said. “I feel like what happened that day was a con-structive process. The destruction has come from the police and the adminis-tration in their decisions that day and in the days following.”

3OPINION & NEWS Friday, February 25, 2011The Daily Californian
People are scared of many things. A Google search of strange fears will leave you with a list of
unexpected and puzzling conditions. Zemmiphobia: Fear of the great mole rat. Pteronophobia: Fear of being tickled by feathers. Aulophobia: Fear of flutes.
Although mole rats may not be on my personal list of fears, I am scared of a lot of things. These include the ordinary: murderers, rapists/creepy men, philosophy papers, bathing suit season, breaking out, pregnancy (now) and childbirth (ever).
My deepest horrors also extend to the extraordinarily unusual: the movie “Pocahontas,” newborn hamsters, man thighs, sea cucumbers, Virgin Mary figurines and talking to adults on the phone.
Another shockingly common epidemic is mageirocophobia: The fear of cooking. Over the last few months, I’ve discovered that this horrifying condition is especially widespread among college students.
Maybe the fear is caused by a general lack of experience in the kitchen, maybe it’s our nonexistent monetary funds, maybe it’s the busy schedules that leave us with virtually no time to spend messing around with dinner. After a long day, ordering a pizza just sounds so much easier.
With these factors taken into account, I understand how cooking can be intimidating, especially when you’re making food for other people and especially when it’s for someone you’re trying to impress ... like a date.
But cooking doesn’t have to be scary. I don’t care how tiny your kitchen is, how little time you have or how small of a budget you’re on, cooking can be just as easy as, and way more fun than, waiting in Chipotle’s dinner-rush line.
If it is time constraints that keep you from making magic happen in the kitchen, I am here with tips that can make 10 minutes of work taste like a full day’s worth of slaving away over a hot stove. The most important thing to do is take help where you can get it.
Although food snobs may scoff at the Pillsbury Doughboy and his sweet-as-sugar girlfriend, Betty Crocker, cake mixes, frozen cookie dough and other pre-made food products can be the perfect tools for new chefs beginning to explore the culinary world.
Using baking mixes from the grocery store can help save you time, money and the tears that come with watching the homemade cookies you slaved over for hours spread out and form one gigantic mass as soon as you put them in the oven.
These mixes practically ensure that your desserts turn out picture-perfect every time. Now, I know what you’re thinking — mixes are boring and they are not going to impress anyone. But, really, all you need to do is think of simple ways to spruce them up, and by adding just a few ingredients you can create a dessert Nestle would be proud of.
To invent your own dessert concoc-tions, think of your favorite mix,
whether it’s cake or cookies or pancakes or waffles or muffins or brownies. Then, think of a flavor combination that would be amazing with it. You can add candy,
fruit, marshmallows, peanut butter, cookie crumbs, cereal. Let your imagina-tion run wild — experimentation is greatly encouraged.
Here are a few of my favorite ideas that will allow you to become a
Chef Boyardee ... or Chef Girlardee, my first screen name.
This doctored up creation is one of my personal favorites, as it brings together two of the best foods on this earth: cake and cookies.
Make these “cookie dough cupcakes” by preparing yellow cake cupcakes according to package instructions. Just before putting them into the oven, drop a spoonful of raw chocolate chip cookie dough into each cupcake.
That’s right, put an entire gooey, unbaked cookie inside of a cupcake. Bake according to package instructions ... be careful to pay attention to the timer, this is probably the only step of the process you could actually mess up. Top with your favorite store-bought or homemade frosting and voila! Anyone lucky enough to taste these puppies will be so happily shocked by the surprise cookie they will never even think to ask if you made them from scratch.
Next on the mission to demystify the kitchen, think about all the store-bought snack foods you would never dream of making in your own home. I give you the art of deconstructing the munchies in order to identify its basic parts. Take a Pop-Tart — it’s nothing but two pieces of pie dough with jam in the middle (and icing on top if you buy the fancy ones). Am I right or am I right? How simple is it to go to the store, buy a few ingredi-ents and make these all by yourself? This way, you can put on as much icing and sprinkles as you want. What could be a better post-slumber party treat?
So next time you’re grocery shopping, maybe it won’t be quite so scary. Look for the supermarket’s ready-made products and let yourself be inspired. Rocky road cupcakes? S’mores brownies? Mint chocolate chip cookies? Oreo-peanut-butter-banana-pancakes with whipped cream and hot fudge? Chocolate peanut butter cupcakes? The possibilities are endless.
Hopefully these tips will help you to relax and let go of some of your kitchen anxieties. After all, cooking really isn’t that scary, especially when you compare it to some of the horrors that haunt the dreams of others. I, for one, would take a kitchen over a nest of great mole rats any day.

New Journal Provides Outlet For Consulting Firm’s Experts
Looking to distinguish itself from other litigation consulting firms, the Berkeley Research Group announced a new business research journal Tuesday that will provide a publication outlet for the firm’s many academic experts.
The group — an advisory and data analytics firm based in Emeryville — initially released the journal free of charge on its website in January. The journal, titled the Review, is published twice a year, and its intended reader-ship is attorneys and college profes-sors, according to Lynnie Kim, busi-ness manager for the journal.
“Our hope is to provide a medium where we can inform our clients and anyone else who’s interested,” Kim said. “It is a way to basically showcase our academic talent.”
The firm has a panel of experts who advise lawyers and other clients in busi-ness-related court cases. Additionally, ex-perts at the firm often testify at trials and depositions, according to Director David Lewin, one of the journal’s co-editors.
The journal, which will be available online and in print, features contri-butions from experts and affiliates in business, finance and accounting from the firm’s 10 worldwide offices.
“It’s similar to a law school review journal,” Kim said. “Our hope is that (finance professionals, lawyers and professors) will benefit from it.”
The decision to publish the first is-sue was put into motion over a year ago, according to Paul Wazzan, direc-
by Damien OrtelladoStaff Writer
tor of the group and journal editor in chief, who called the journal “a natural extension” of the firm’s work.
While other consulting firms publish newsletters and “thought leadership” pieces — articles that introduce inno-vative business ideas — Kim said the Berkeley Research Group hopes to dis-tinguish itself with academic talent.
Several of the firm’s affiliates are pro-fessors at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, including Laura Tyson, a member of the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board. Lewin said affiliates’ backgrounds as academics who prioritize research and publica-tion fueled the journal’s creation.
Lewin is the faculty director of the UCLA Anderson School of Manage-ment’s Advanced Program in Human Resource Management and sits on the boards of four other journals, two of which are published by UC Berkeley.
“We have an audience in the aca-demic world because (the publications) can be useful reading tools,” Lewin said. “The idea is to show how knowl-edge of these practical matters applies in decision making ... (the journal) has a practical flavor about it.”
In the firm’s first year publishing the Review, Kim said directors and affiliates hope to tackle current legal issues like subprime lending and reach out to attor-neys and professionals across the globe.
“Our firm can differentiate itself by having a journal,” Lewin said. “We dif-ferentiate ourselves by adding intellec-tual capital to the industry.”

Refuse: Reducing Waste, Raising Funds DifficultFRom FRont
with the city manager to obtain an itemized list of the data used in the consulting firm’s calculations, which he plans on distributing to the city’s Zero Waste Commission for its meet-ing Friday.
On March 22, 2005, the council approved a resolution stating its com-mitment to meet the specifications of Alameda County Measure D, which in 2000 instituted a county goal of reduc-ing waste by 75 percent by the end of 2010.
A report published by the Alameda County Source Reduction and Recy-cling Board in conjunction with the Alameda County Waste Management Authority in August included statistics that indicated Berkeley achieved an 8 percent diversion of possible recycla-bles from 2000 to 2006, though it did not include information on the city’s progress in recent years.
According to the county report, Al-bany also managed to reduce its waste by 8 percent within the same time frame, while Emeryville reached a 27 percent reduction.
However, Councilmember Gordon Wozniak said he is concerned about how the city will earn revenue from the refuse fund while simultaneously decreasing waste.
“We have a business model where basically the city’s efforts have been aimed at decreasing trash, but our rev-enue is based on how much trash we collect,” he said.
The council will discuss the firm’s report at a work session March 8.

The announcement by UCPD that it is no longer issuing citations with outrageous
fines to students who ride through the dismount zone on their bicy-cles during prohibited hours is a necessary reform that we are happy to see implemented.
Until last semester, offending stu-dents were cited according to the California Vehicle Code, which does not differentiate between bicycles and cars when determining fine amounts. Unfortunately for students, this meant a total fine of $219 — an amount not at all proportional to the significance of the offense that pro-vides no revenue to the university.
When asked last semester why the amount was so high, UCPD spokes-people said that its senior manage-ment was unaware of the total fines associated with the citation. This is not an acceptable excuse — instead it testifies to a general lack of under-standing existing between police and students.
However, the issue is more than one of simple ignorance by the com-mand staff. When asked about the fine at the ASUC’s Sept. 23, 2009 meeting, then-Sgt. Andrew Tucker, the former UCPD Liaison, correctly estimated it to be between $200 and $300, and was able to provide the exact number the following week.
We fail to see how this information was never disseminated to the senior management, or why they would not have known the same ballpark esti-mate after enforcing the citations for 10 years.
While we regret how long it has taken, we nonetheless are pleased with how UCPD has handled the issue since becoming aware of the fines. In speaking with bicycle activ-ists, honestly admitting that their senior management was unaware of the consequences and implementing a warning-first policy, UCPD has made long-due progress on an impor-tant issue — even if action required prompting from the outside.
UCPD should take this opportu-nity to fully study its bicycle policy, and identify elements where it can further improve. Dismount zone enforcement times should be shifted to better match student traffic, and any new citations policy should gen-erate revenue for the campus, rather than the state.
Bicycling is an important activity on campus, and the dismount zone is a necessary safety element. UCPD is right to revisit its policies and ensure that it continue to serve the students and encourage alternative transpor-tation — not discourage it through excessive punishment.
It would be an understatement to say that CalMail is not the best e-mail service on the Internet. It
forces you to choose between the aesthetically dull SquirrelMail and the garish Roundcube, and it has limited features compared to a more common provider like Gmail.
The ASUC passed a bill Feb. 2 that encouraged the campus to replace CalMail with Google Apps, citing its use by multiple other college cam-puses. But we see little reason for the campus to spend time and resources changing something that those con-cerned could easily change them-selves. CalMail supports both mail forwarding and the ability to sync with any other e-mail client.
Prefer Yahoo? Then have your e-mails forwarded to Yahoo. Want the added functionality Gmail pro-vides, like Google Docs or Google Calendar? Then you can have your emails imported to your Gmail account.
CalMail has the advantage of being
a known quantity. The Information Services Technology division is already familiar with it, and the cam-pus community has the benefit of prior experience. Switching to a new provider, such as Gmail, would potentially require substantial retraining for staff.
The campus should always be look-ing for the most efficient means with which to serve students and should be routinely evaluating the best pos-sible solution for students in the long term. If switching to a new e-mail provider such as Gmail would save money in the long run by outsourcing maintenance costs, then the campus should transition away from CalMail.
However, if switching would cost extra in fees or require compromis-ing the security of our information, the campus shouldn’t bother. Students or faculty members who are ardently against CalMail can stop using it themselves — the campus shouldn’t foot the bill for their per-sonal preference.
Lead the Action to Defend Public Education
Justin Cheong is a member of BAMN and a UC Berkeley alumnus. Reply to [email protected].
Education is a right, not a privilege. California’s public higher education system is the state’s greatest democrat-ic achievement.
Won out of the struggles of black, Latina/o, Asian and white working class and mid-dle class communities during the civil rights movement, California developed the greatest public college and university system in the nation and, arguably, in the world. Dozens of campuses were built and opened up the future for millions of Californians. Today, Governor Jerry Brown’s proposed bud-get cuts place that right in jeopardy. On March 2, we need to shut down California to defend the right to public higher education.
Governor Brown's propos-al would slash a whopping $1.4 billion from public high-er education, which will like-ly lead to higher tuition, campus closures, program cuts, layoffs and enrollment reductions. Our state would experience even greater inequality and segregation in all areas.
In response to last year’s cuts, Latina/o freshman enrollment at UC Berkeley dropped 12 percent. Should this trend continue, hundreds of thousands of students — especially black, Latina/o, other minority and working class students — would have nowhere to go after high school, and thousands of students would be pushed out simply because they could not afford college. We cannot hold back from fighting just because Brown is a Democrat.
California can support public edu-cation. In 2010, were California its own country, it would rank eighth in a list of the world's largest economies. The only reason we face these cuts is that the rich and powerful forces behind Brown are tired of paying for public education and view the pro-longed economic crisis as an opportu-nity to cheapen the cost of education. Brown’s regressive and inadequate tax plan, coupled with the fee hikes, shifts the responsibility for paying for edu-cation from the rich onto the backs of California’s poor, working-class and middle-class communities.
Instead, the money should come from taxing the corporations, banks and billionaires who created the eco-nomic crisis. We demand a real federal bailout for public higher education, nationwide.
An overwhelming majority of people support public education as a right and not a privilege. If we stand up to
by Justin Cheong
this attack, we can stop the cuts. Last school year, the collective action of California students sparked a new stu-dent movement. By the March 4, 2010 day of action, mass demonstrations spread to colleges and schools across the country. Our movement was suc-cessful and former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger restored more than $300 million to the University of California.
This year’s day of action, March 2, 2011, is gaining statewide and national support. However, in the face of the bipartisan attack that Governor Brown is leading, we need far more than it took a year ago to score even a modest victory. If March 2 is simply a solitary, large-but-tame day of moral protest actions, then Brown wins and the peo-ple of California lose. We need a series of sustained mass actions that are more determined, angrier and much larger in order to succeed.
Jerry Brown wants to pass the bud-get cuts by March 10. Students must lead March 2 to make it as large, mili-
tant, bold and democratic as possible to ensure that the movement is not shut down, but keeps fighting. If we do that, we can delay the vote and build momen-tum. Community college students are organizing a mass march in Sacramento on March 14. The California State University is organiz-ing a day of action on April 13. Our leadership on March 2 is critical to make sure the later actions aren’t simply protest actions after we lose, but are, instead, fighting actions that are part of a sustained move-ment.
To succeed, our move-ment must link the fight for the right to public education with the fight of oppressed and immigrant communi-ties. The fight against racism and the fight for full rights for all immigrants, docu-mented and undocumented, must be central demands of our movement. This includes passage of the
DREAM Act and restoring affirmative action pro-grams so that minority
students are no longer denied a seat at the UC. We have to ensure that our fight to defend public educa-
tion as a right extends to every Californian.
More than any other state, California
is poised to realize Dr. King’s vision for America.
The rich and powerful do not have to be the force
determining the direction of our state. The Latina/o, black, immi-grant and other oppressed communi-ties have enormous social power. But we need leaders to organize this power and place us in the position of power that is rightfully ours to make California into our California. By Any Means Necessary (BAMN) urges all those who are serious about building a new, mass, youth-led, integrated and independent civil rights and immi-grant rights movement to join us.
On March 2, UC Berkeley students should gather at noon on Sproul Plaza to take action. Already, student organi-zations and many campus faculty have signed the call to action. The Oakland and Berkeley Unified School Districts are holding official events involving their students and staff on this day. This is our moment: UC Berkeley stu-dents can and must set the model for the statewide and national movement once again.

Multiple-Vehicle Accident Hits Solano Avenue
A black BMW collided with multi-ple vehicles while driving west down Solano Avenue near the boundary between the Berkeley and Albany city limits Feb. 20, resulting in at least one totaled vehicle and multiple in-juries.
According to Sgt. Mary Kusmiss of the Berkeley Police Department, at least three vehicles were involved in collisions with a black BMW 330ci as it drove west on Solano late Sunday morning. Following a 911 call placed by a community member at 11:43 a.m., members of both the Berkeley and Al-bany police departments responded the incident.
Berkeley resident Shahram Farshchi was arrested at the scene by Berkeley police and booked on a charge of mis-demeanor non-injury hit-and-run in connection with the collisions on the Berkeley side of Solano.
Some witnesses to the scene have placed the number of affected vehicles as high as seven. Kusmiss said none

of the injuries resulting from the col-lisions currently appear life-threaten-ing, though she was unable to confirm the nature or number of the injuries.
Berkeley resident Susan McLester was driving west down Solano near the 7-Eleven located at 1540 Solano Ave. when her blue Audi was hit from be-hind by the BMW on the Albany side of the avenue. The collision sent her car spinning, totaling the vehicle and slamming her head onto the steering wheel, she said.
According to Kusmiss, a Walnut Creek woman said a BMW of the same description hit her gray Lexus as she approached Ensenada Avenue while heading west on Solano, push-ing her car into the intersection of the two streets. Kusmiss said the woman was traveling 15 to 20 mph with her 8-year-old grandson in the right rear seat. Though the woman reported no injuries, Kusmiss said the vehicle sus-tained moderate damage to its rear end.
The woman also said the BMW did not stop before continuing further west down Solano, Kusmiss said.
Solano is split between the Berkeley and Albany city limits, so the jurisdic-tion for the collisions is also divided between the two police departments.
According to Investigation Lt. Dan-iel Adams at the Albany department, Albany police have not requested any criminal charges be brought against
Farshchi. Kusmiss said Farshchi exited the BMW but remained on the scene after the collisions on the Albany side of the avenue.
Cecily Rodriguez, receptionist at Joi Nail Spa on Solano and witness to the collisions, said the BMW’s speed far exceeded the avenue’s 25 mph speed limit.
“If you could blink you couldn’t even see it,” Rodriguez said. “I don’t think anyone even saw until they saw the cars piled up.”
Because many of the details sur-rounding the collisions are still un-clear, Berkeley police have requested that Solano merchants analyze their surveillance video from Feb. 20 during the collision for any pertinent footage.
“There is an air of mystery (as) to what precipitated this (incident),” Kusmiss said.
As of press time, police had not ob-tained any footage from merchants.
“Most of the cameras aren’t focused on the street,” said Allen Cain, execu-tive director of the Solano Avenue As-sociation. “Merchants are more inter-ested that they catch the guy at the register with the gun.”
Farshchi said he sought medical tests after the incident but would not comment further. A court date for his misdemeanor charge is set for March 23, Kusmiss said.

UC Berkeley has a history of pro-fessors serving as chairmen, members and senior economists for the council. Past chairmen include business pro-fessor Laura Tyson and business pro-fessor emerita Janet Yellen. Past senior economists for the council include business professors David Levine and James Wilcox.
“Recent administrations have recog-nized the quality of the faculty here and have called upon them for government service at the highest level,” said Jona-than Leonard, George Quist Chair in Business Ethics at the business school, who served as a senior economist for the council in 1989. “The list is pretty prominent, and it’s unusual for a uni-versity to have so many people selected for this kind of service.”
Most recently, economics professor Christina Romer returned to teach at UC Berkeley after serving as chair for the council from 2009-10.
“It’s just extraordinary that one campus gets this kind of recognition,” Leonard said.

40 miles on one charge at a speed of 22 to 25 mph and at a cost of 6 cents per charge.
Under California law, electric scoot-ers and bikes are classified as power-assisted bicycles, which do not have an insurance requirement or required parking fees. Drivers are not required to have licenses and can travel within designated bike lanes.
“Customer feedback has definitely been positive,” said Vice CEO Joe Xiao, a 2010 UC Berkeley alumnus. “Most people, especially students, like that we are green and low cost.”
In the near future, Kokkinias said he hopes to expand the company into Stockton and San Francisco.
“The electric motors industry is going to be a huge opportunity,” said
CFO Tony Liu, a 2010 UC Berkeley alumnus. “Most people haven’t heard of our product yet, but that won’t stop us. Maybe we can eventually get gov-ernment support.”
Although Green Choice Moto has not yet publicized on campus, it will be attending the PLAYgreen Festival at Pauley Ballroom Friday.
UC Berkeley senior Monserrat Toro, who is interning at the compa-ny, said she is currently working with CampusCred to issue a coupon deal by the end of March.
Green Choice Moto is one of several electric scooter and bike companies in Berkeley looking to capitalize on cus-tomer demand for environmentally friendly transport.
“We have a pretty good relationship with the owner there,” said Bill Ho-gan, manager of Pacific E-Bike in West
Berkeley. “I feel like it’s pretty different from my place. He sells models differ-ent from us and vice versa. It seems like they have a good location and know what they are doing.”
The city’s 2006 Climate Action Plan — a green initiative that aims to re-duce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050 — reported that 29 percent of Berkeley’s emissions were from gasoline-powered vehicles. With more residents and students choosing greener modes of transportation, like e-scooters, that percentage may drop in the future.
“The people of Berkeley are defi-nitely in favor of green corporations,” said city spokesperson Mary Kay Clunies-Ross. “Berkeley has taken a lot of pains to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
attendance: truancy Cuts District’s State FundingFrom pAGe 2three unexcused absences.
If a student continues to be truant after coming before the review board, the student’s case will be referred to the Alameda County District Attor-ney’s office for legal consideration.
The impetus for the district to main-tain good attendance at its schools is both academic and economic. In addi-tion to the adverse effects that frequent absence from school has on a student’s
education, state funds received by the district are in part dependent on the average daily attendance recorded at schools each day. Last year, the district lost $29.66 in unearned revenue each time a student was recorded absent.
School board Director Karen Hemp-hill requested at the meeting that fur-ther discussion on truancy take place sooner rather than later. The board will address the issue again — along with other attendance and truancy policies
and programs to be implemented for the 2010-11 school year — at a meeting in March.
“Attendance and truancy is one of the items that the entire (school board) unanimously says is an important pri-ority to focus on,” she said at the meet-ing. “It’s also very much a part of our equity work that we’re trying to do, our 2020 Vision work. If you’re not in school, you’re not going to learn.”

was Georgia who defeated Cal last year in the Super Regionals to advance to the Women’s College World Series.
“I think it would be a great win for our team if we got it,” Echavarria said. “We have just been working hard on the things we need to get done to win.”
Specifically, she mentioned the team’s work on honing its small ball skills by getting ahead in pitching counts, making routine plays and stealing bases to manufacture runs.
Ziegenhirt also added that another
aspect of practice has centered on the team’s hitting.
“We get a lot of runners on base and we tend to string our hits together well, but we need more run production to back up our pitching and defense, which has been really stellar, she said. “We don’t give up that many runs, so it is our goal to score more than we have been.”
Sunday’s tilt against Cal Poly (2-8) will finish out the weekend’s festivities.

Cal Prepares for Los Angeles Powerhouses in Sojourn South
With two consecutive NCAA titles and the fourth-ranked singles player in the country in Steve Johnson, No. 9 USC is far from holding an empty hand.
Similarly, No. 5 UCLA can safely hedge its bets on the No. 17 doubles team of Nick Meister and Amit Inbar.
For some teams, such high stakes might serve as a major source of dread. For the No. 20 Cal men’s tennis team, it serves as an opportunity to battle two Pac-10 opponents.
The Bears (4-3) will compete in back-to-back matches, first against the Trojans (8-2) on Friday at 1:30 p.m. at Marks Stadium, followed by Saturday’s 1 p.m. tilt versus the Bruins (9-1) at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.
With No. 8 Stanford sojourning to play the Bruins and Trojans as well, the weekend looks packed for all four Pac-10 opponents.
“There have been some great matches back and forth over the years between the four schools,” Cal coach Peter Wright said. “It certainly means something for us to play into the Nor-Cal-SoCal rivalry.”
Cal was far from winning the pot in last year’s matches. The Bears fell twice to UCLA — once at home, once down south — in the dual season and were eliminated by the Bruins in the second round of NCAAs last May.
Although Cal only played the Trojans once last year, the latter team clinched a 6-1 victory on its home court. It hasn’t beaten USC in Los Angeles since 2006.

“We haven’t won in L.A. in quite a while,” sophomore Riki McLachlan said. “It’s not a question of not being up to the challenge. It’s just a matter of execution on that particular day.”
UCLA and USC also received cov-eted berths in the ITA Team Indoor Championship earlier this month in Seattle. Despite suffering their very first losses of the season — USC to No. 17 Duke in the first round and UCLA to No. 3 Tennessee in the quarterfinals — the tournament nonetheless provided both with valuable experience.
Throw in the fact that the Bears are on the road, away from home-court routines and fans, and this weekend becomes even more of a challenge.
“It takes a little more attention to detail to play on the road,” Wright said. “There’s less predictability. You can’t count on simple things, like getting a good night’s sleep in a hotel bed or navi-gating L.A. traffic. You have to have a little flexibility and a lot of preparation.”
The Bears will also be dealt back-to-back matches. According to Wright there isn’t much time to relax between matchups, so preparation for the second match will begin right after the first.
Still, Wright doesn’t think the cards are stacked against his team. He doesn’t dread anything about this weekend, save the potential rain that could cancel the matches.
“We’re continuing to show improve-ment every week,” he said. “From here on out there are no simple matches. And I’m excited about this particular opportunity.”

Bears Back Outdoors in Return Home Against Northwest Rivals
Mother Nature has not been kind to the No. 6 Cal women’s tennis team.
After coming back a day late from Virginia last weekend due to a snow-storm delay, the Bears (7-1) received news that rain may postpone their weekend home matches against Wash-ington State (8-2) and Oregon (6-2).
Cal, back from the ITA Team In-doors after dropping its opening round match to Northwestern, will play at its own Hellman Tennis Complex for the first time since Feb. 4. The Bears face off against the Cougars on Friday at 1:30 p.m. and against the Ducks on Saturday at noon.
The Bears left the tournament on a bittersweet note. After losing 4-1 to the Wildcats on Friday, they won the two consolation matches against No. 15 Georgia Tech and No. 16 Arkansas on Saturday and Sunday. Northwestern may have been the underdog coming into the match, but Cal coach Amanda Augustus said the Wildcats’ familiarity with indoor courts helped them offset the talent gap.
Like Northwestern, Washington State and Oregon play on indoor courts. To exploit the squads’ inexpe-rience on different terrain, the Bears have practiced outdoor court tech-niques to emphasize their strengths on their home courts.
As indoor court teams are more ac-customed to a faster tempo, Augustus has held groundstroke drills to slow the match down and to shake the op-ponents from their comfort zones.
by Seung Y. LeeStaff Writer
Although the Cougars and the Ducks both have a winning record, neither has competed against any top-20 teams this season. Considering that the majority of players on both teams are underclassmen, they have a daunt-ing task to defeat the Bears.
Augustus also emphasized the play of her first-year players. During the ITA Team Indoors Championships, the coach experimented with different lineups that included freshmen Alice Duranteau and Anett Schutting.
Schutting, who appeared in her first matches for Cal last weekend, played in all three contests. The Estonian native has played in doubles with senior Mari-na Cossou, who was impressed with her teammate’s composure and talents.
“We have been good complements to each other in doubles,” Cossou said. “I’m more of a setter, and she likes to poach nearby the net. I need a partner (like) that.”
While Schutting and Duranteau are improving their game, senior Mari Andersson was awarded as the Pac-10 Player of the Week. She was the only player to win all three matches for the Bears last weekend.
Andersson, who also received the award two years ago, is the second Cal player to receive the honor this season after fellow Swede Annie Goransson won it just two weeks ago.
“It’s a tradition on our team,” Augus-tus said. “Mari has won all the matches indoor this week. I’m happy for her to win it for Cal.”

Morrison Ready to Defend Title Despite Low Scores This Spring
Mike Morrison is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, name on the Cal track and field team. With that said, he hasn’t posted a huge score in the in-door heptathlons so far.
“Normally, you shake the rust off the first meet,” Morrison said. “That was a terrible meet for me. It was literally the first time I ran a high jump approach or had taken up a jump this year.”
This weekend’s MPSF Indoor Cham-pionships at the Dempsey Indoor Fa-cility at the University of Washington is fast approaching and it can take multi-event athletes a little longer to get up to speed.
“Since then, I’ve been honing in on all the technical events, especially the high jump, hurdles, and trying to get the rhythm with the long jump” Mor-rison said.
Perhaps the most technical event of all, as well as the one that’s been giv-ing him the most trouble, is the pole vault. With seven events indoors and 10 events outdoors, sacrifices have to be made when faced with such time limits.
When faced with the decision to choose between practicing several events, however, it may make sense to leave the hardest for last.
“There’s certainly a mental aspect to it, you’re up in the air 16, 17, 18 feet and you’re upside down, there’s an element of fear with that,” coach Tony Sandoval said. “Sometimes you can think things over too much and have difficulty get-ting off the ground.”
by Byron AtashianStaff Writer
track and field
Morrison and other pole vaulters also had to miss some valuable train-ing time in the fall with Ed Miller, the pole vaulting coach, out because of an ankle surgery until the new year.
As last year’s defending champion with a score of 5,655, there’s certainly pressure on Morrison, but it’s nothing he isn’t used to.
“One thing I know about Mike is that when his back is against the wall he’s responded very well,” Sandoval said. “I expect him to do a good job in the pole vault and get a qualifying mark for NCAAs, I think he’s made some big strides in practice (this week).”
Morrison has a simplistic approach to the event.
“I feel like that’s all the heptathlon events are is just finding the rhythm, but I think I’ve got a good mentality,” he said. “I’m getting pumped.”
Cal will also return another MPSF Indoor Champion from last year in shot putter Patrick Kowalsky, who logged a throw of 59-0.75.
Morrison will defend his title start-ing with the competition’s first piece of action today at 2:30 p.m. with fellow Bear heptathletes Kevin Kuechler and Idarre Coles.
The Bears had other champions last year, but two won’t be able to repeat this weekend. The winner of the 3000m, Mark Matusak, graduated, while Debo-rah Maier, who also won the 3000m, is redshirting due to a foot injury.
The meet resumes Saturday at 11 a.m. and ends with the women’s 4x400 relay at 3 p.m.

Cal Set to Continue Hot Streak With Indiana Rematch in Desert
It was ironic that the Cal softball team was singing, “This Little Light of Mine” at Wednesday’s practice.
With the rain that prevented the team from finishing its five-game lineup last weekend, the lyrics, “Let it shine, let it shine let it shine,” could be seen as hopes for clear skies this weekend.
After two big wins to add to their now-three game winning streak, the Bears (5-1) are confident traveling down to Palm Springs, Calif., for the Cathedral City Classic, starting tomor-row.
Last week’s wins against then-No. 8 Missouri and Santa Barbara war-ranted one step up in the rankings for the No. 14 Cal softball team. The team took advantage of the opportunity and defeated the highest-ranked squad it has seen thus far in the preseason.
“I do think that we have the poten-tial to go higher in the rankings,” cen-ter fielder Frani Echavarria said. “It is a good starting point, but we definitely don’t want to settle on that.”
by Kelly SuckowStaff Writer
One significant factor of last week’s success was Jolene Henderson’s efforts to hold down the opposition’s batting average to 0.146. Her two complete-game wins this past weekend earned her recognition as the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week for the first time in her career.
Cal hopes that Henderson will con-tinue to bring the heat during this weekend’s rematch against Indiana (5-5) in the Big League Dreams Sports Park today to open the tournament.
The Bears came away with a 3-0 win against the Hoosiers on the tail end of Cal’s opening weekend on Feb. 13.
“We have seen their No. 1 pitcher, they have seen our pitcher, so that is definitely going to be a factor,” catcher Lindsey Ziegenhirt said. “I think the batters are going to be the same, so the strategy pretty much stays the same.”
After closing out the double-header against Indiana and Massachusetts (2-3) on Friday, Saturday features only one game — against No. 20 LSU (9-3). The SEC is arguably the strongest con-ference outside of the Pac-10, and it

“You get that blood lust on the pitch,” Slug No. 8 and team president Phil Brody said. “We’ve got a lot of se-niors on the team and when you’ve got a bunch of sophomores coming at you, it becomes a little bit of a pride thing.”
But Santa Cruz is after more than pride. One of the Slugs’ coaches, Rob-bie Bellue, is a product of the Cal pro-gram, and schedules the match annu-ally to test his players and expose them to a “well-drilled team,” Brody said.
Cal has been drilling on crisper pass-ing lately, which sophomore scrumhalf Jose Peña said has yielded tangible re-sults. More importantly, however, the young squad is making strides in its ability to function as a unit.
“It’s a lot of younger guys coming in from their old systems in high school just starting to adapt to Cal systems,” Peña said. “So those last couple games we had, like against Cal Maritime, we did a lot better at bonding together and knowing exactly what we were do-
ing on the field — what’s on, what’s not on, just connecting.”
The Bears look forward to con-necting on Santa Cruz’s pitch, which Coquillard considers to be one of the finest away fields. It will be a stark contrast to the dirt patches found on other fields the team has played on this season, such as the ones found in Las Vegas two weeks ago.
“We like to play a quick style of game,” he said. “We like to run our op-position around the field. So when we know there’s a nice patch of grass out there, we can really dig our boots in and go for it.”
It may not carry the same weight as last weekend’s match, but this Sun-day’s game is important to the pro-gram’s future.
“While the other guys mark the big games on the schedule, this is one of those I circle as a big game for us, for the young boys,” Coquillard said.

anything that they’re gonna do.”The Chanticleers figure to be the big-
gest matchup in a weekend that also features North Carolina State and Kan-sas State. The team gets to play on their home park at BB&T Coastal Field. It’s also shown a penchant for the dramatic this spring, winning two games on walk-off home runs and taking a 2-1 loss to Indiana into the 16th inning.
Cal has demonstrated a similar flair, opening the season with a grand slam and a walk-off win in a doubleheader against Utah last weekend. In Tues-day’s 3-2 loss at Stanford, however, the Bears’ inability to string together runs caught up with them.
Against the Cardinal, went scoreless until starting pitcher Jordan Pries was replaced after the fourth inning. The Bears rang off two runs in the fifth, but
couldn’t muster anything else the rest of the way.
Relievers Kyle Porter and Matt Fle-mer combined for five strikeouts over the final 2.1 innings, but the offense left four runners stranded through the eighth and ninth.
“We’re looking to hit the ball a little more low and hard,” center fielder Chad Bunting said. “We were a little long that first weekend. We flew out a lot, too many times. Struck out too many times. We’re really focusing on shortening up our swing.”
The weather, though, may put a damper on Cal’s excitement to fi-nally play a full slate of games after rainouts last Friday and Saturday — thunderstorms are forecast for Friday afternoon.

Sophomore second baseman Tony Renda is leading the Bears with five hits. The All-Pac-10 first team selection is also responsible for Cal’s lone stolen base in three games.

bears can’t buy basket, Pay Dearly in Loss to Ducks
Despitetheweatherforecastnolon-gerpredictingsnowforthisweekend,therewasquiteabitoficeonthecourtatHaasPaviliononThursdaynight.
The Cal wom-en’s basketballteam simply couldnotmakeabasket,shooting an ice-cold 21.3 percentfrom the field. The Bears lost theirsixth consecutive game, this one a60-46tiltagainstOregon.
“I’m searching for answers, I’ll behonest,” Cal coach Joanne Boyle said.“We couldn’t have had any betterlooks”
It didn’t matter if it was a layup, a3-pointer or anywhere in between;the Bears (14-13, 6-10 in the Pac-10)were1-for-26frombehindthearc,andmissedmanymorefromcloserin.
Nordiditmatterwhethertheplayerwas being guarded or not. On severaloccasions, Cal broke the Ducks’ full-courtpressandhadtheadvantagebutcouldnotconvert.
At one point, late in the first half,theBearshadatwo-on-onefastbreak,with a third player trailing, and thesquadstillcouldnotputtheballinthehoop.
“Wehavetocomeoutbetteronbothends of the floor,” Boyle said. “I don’tknow why we’re not. I don’t know ifthere’salackoffocus...

half, which was a considerable im-provement from the first 20 minutes.In that period, the Bears made onlynine of their 47 attempts and missedall13oftheir3-pointers.
One reason for the low percentage,besides shoddy shooting, was Cal’sworkontheoffensiveglass.TheBearsfinishedwith26offensiverebounds—16 more than Oregon (13-13, 4-11) —andactuallyoutreboundedtheDucks,57-49.

Center Talia Caldwell grabbed acareer-high 20 rebounds, nine on theoffensiveend,togowith10points.
But even with extra opportunities,Calstillcouldn’tfindthebasket.
“We’realljustsearchingforanswersfor how to help them,” Boyle said. “Ihopethattheydon’twanttheirseasontobeover.”
It took five and a half minutes forCal to make its first field goal in thesecond half. At one point in the half,the Bears were shooting close to 16percentfromthefield.
Theteams’offensesdifferedgreatly.The average Oregon possession con-sisted of a 3-pointer, going in aboutone-thirdofthetime.TheaverageCalpossession consisted of a missed bas-ket,anoffensivereboundandanothermissedbasket.
“Ifateamgoesuponusatthebe-ginning, we tend to play a little ten-tative,” said senior guard RachelleFederico, who went scoreless in 11minutes of action. “And then every-body puts it on their shoulders to bethat person who steps up and hitsshots. That can get a team playing abit hectic. That was basically whathappenedtoustonight.”
With just over four minutes re-maining in the game, sophomorepoint guard Layshia Clarendonswung the ball to guard LindsaySherbert at the top of the key. Thefreshmanspottedupandswishedtheshot,Cal’sfirstmade3-pointerofthecontest.
