Next year, candidates running for ASUC president hope to play a leading role in what some view as a critical year for both the Univer-sity of California and the UC Berkeley campus.

As the Lower Sproul renovation project continues to play out, the campus cost-cut-ting Operational Excellence initiative enters its implementation phase and the university absorbs at least a $500 million cut from Gov. Jerry Brown, the president will have many issues to confront.

The role of the president as described in the ASUC Constitution and Bylaws leaves much room for interpretation. Student Ac-tion candidate Vishalli Loomba said she in-terprets the position as a leader who wants to make sure that the ASUC represents stu-dents in every possible way.

As a Student Action senator this year, Loomba authored a bill supporting the ath-letic teams that had been cut by the campus and met with several officials responsible for the decision, which she pointed to as evi-dence of her efforts to represent students.

Its at times like that when the ASUC really comes into play and takes a role in making sure that the student voice is being heard, Loomba said. I was able to do that as a senator.

If elected, Loomba said she would want a formal budget proposal to be sent from stu-dents to Chancellor Robert Birgeneau, out-lining students priorities.

Cuts have to be made, but we should be

the ones making the decision on whats more important, she said.

Independent candidate Stefan Montouth is no stranger to education budget cuts. When he was a senior at Encinal High School in Alameda, Montouth said, his school board eliminated funding for the entire athletics department, which immediately prompted a student walk-out and discussion with local officials that he said first introduced him to the political process.

Those types of things I saw on a wider scale at UC Berkeley because every year since Ive been here, weve seen budget cuts and fee increases, he said. The only difference is we didnt have to pay to go to high school.

To confront budgetary problems on cam-pus and within the ASUC, Montouth said he would want to hire an ASUC grants writer to solicit sustainable sources of funding for the student government.

Montouth, in his current role as a CalSERVE senator, helped establish a student review board to the UC Office of the Presi-dents hate crime reporting system work he said he hopes to continue as ASUC President.

SQUELCH! candidate and former sena-tor Emily Carlton, whose party aims to point out some of the fallacies of the student gov-ernment, said she thinks students should be able to do whatever they want and that a lack of enthusiasm for other candidates helped convince her to run.

I feel like a lot of people run, and they think that they can win just because of popularity and name recognition, so I feel like its appro-priate to make fun of them, Carlton said.

Running a campaign without much pub-licity, Carlton, who is currently the deputy of academic policy in the Office of the Academ-ic Affairs Vice President, said she hopes to win solely on the basis of name recognition and charm.

Defend Affirmative Action Party candi-date Lauren Ballard who is also running for ASUC Senate said she would want to increase the presidents role in the commu-nity by holding forums for students to dis-cuss methods of effectively opposing budget cuts and discussing important issues.

Though her campaign is now in full force, she said she was initially hesitant about run-ning for president.

I realized I really wanted a movement to happen, and if I kept waiting around, it would probably never happen, she said.

She said that although she lacks prior expe-rience with the ASUC and would have much to learn if elected, she is up to the task.

Ballards campaign is founded on her partys three main goals of opposing Browns cuts, doubling minority enrollment and passing the DREAM Act proposed federal legislation that would help pave a path to-ward citizenship for illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children.

These are long-term, big goals for the campus, but it takes a lot of little steps to get there and what I want to do is re-ally spearhead building a campus commu-nity movement for these issues, Ballard said. This is a collective struggle thats going to be going on for quite a while. J.D. Morris covers student government.

UCPDs bomb squad detonated two World War I grenades found in a San Rafael residents home Friday.

At about 12:37 p.m., the San Rafael Police Department received a call from the resident in-forming them that she had in her possession two WWI munitions a German egg grenade and a French mortar round passed down to her by her grandfather who brought them home after the war, according to UCPD Capt. Margo Ben-nett. The residents husband had recently become uncomfortable with the grenades in their home and convinced her to consult the police, accord-ing to a statement from the San Rafael Police De-partment.

Since the San Rafael police do not have a bomb squad of their own, the department has a contract with the UCPD Explosive Ordi-nance Devices team for such cases. On Friday, the UCPD squad responded with a team from the Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield and fol-lowed the protocol for disabling ammunitions by transporting them to the Marin Recycling Center where they used a counter charge to dis-arm the devices.

No arrests were made, since the items had been passed down as souvenirs from the war.

ASUC

The ASUC is now accepting pro-posals for a new marketing plan to increase summer and fall use of its mountain lodge through the Cal Lodge Case Competition, which opened March 30 and will end April 29.

Because the ASUC is currently un-able to break even on the cost of main-taining the property, the competition, which is open to everyone, is planned to help market the name of the lodge as well as to bring in fresh ideas for the ASUC to consider. The winner of the competition will receive a two-night stay for 10 guests at the lodge.

According to Executive Vice Presi-dent Nanxi Liu, the competition itself is a form of marketing because it will increase visibility of the Cal Lodge name to the public.

We realized a lot of students didnt know about this, Liu said. We want to get the word out there and get stu-dents involved.

According to Liu, this is the first time the ASUC has done any kind of marketing competition.

Liu said the Lake Tahoe property is a legacy, having been owned by the ASUC for over 90 years. Because of low use during parts of the year and maintenance costs, the ASUC loses between $20,000 and $30,000 a year on the property. The competition is one idea proposed by an ASUC Senate Cal Lodge Committee for marketing as an attempt to reduce losses.

ASUC President Noah Stern said

By Weiru Fang | Staffwfang@dailycal.org

that so far the ASUC has not done as well as it could to promote the lodge. Along with mass marketing, the ASUC should have a strategic approach on an individual basis by targeting interested student groups, he said.

Dan Borge, manager of the lodge, said he is excited for the case competi-tion because of the increased market-ing it will provide, which he said is vital to encouraging students to visit.

Every Cal student should know about Cal Lodge, but they havent known about it for years, Borge said.

Though Borge said appealing to UC Berkeley students is most important, the lodge also wants to draw in campus stu-dent groups, alumni and faculty, as well as junior colleges and other UC campuses.

Cal Lodge isnt where we want it to be in terms of popularity, Liu said. Its con-sistently the same groups that will rent the Cal Lodge, and we want to make it more apparent and visible to other groups.

Liu said she is optimistic that break-ing even on the lodge will not be a problem in the near future under the direction of Borge, who assumed his position five years ago.

Borge said he is also confident in in-creasing the popularity of Cal Lodge in upcoming years.

There will eventually be a time where its not if you want to come to Cal Lodge its if you can get in to Cal Lodge, he said.

Liu said she expects 10 to 15 submis-sions to the competition, though she said there could be more. Along with ASUC senators and Cal Lodge, Liu said she will judge the submissions and an-nounce a winner one week after the competitions deadline, on May 6.

Police officer shoots, kills dog during investigation

A Berkeley Police Department officer shot and killed a residents pet dog Saturday afternoon after responding to a 911 call from an-other concerned resident of the 3200 block of Shattuck Avenue who thought someone was firing a gun in a nearby backyard.

The gunshots were actually from a pellet gun that three men were using for target practice in the backyard of one of their homes. Upon police arrival, all three of the men complied with police requests to exit the house with their hands up, according to a statement from Berkeley police Sgt. Mary Kusmiss.

While exiting the house, the men including the homeowner, Shay ben Yishay, and two of his co-workers said they told the police officers that Yishays dog was in the home.

We stressed to the officers on numerous occasions that the dog was a friendly dog and he doesnt bite, said Michael Rhone, one of the co-workers at Yishays house. We wanted to put him on a leash, and they totally ignored what we said.

The dog a pit bull named Rock exited the home and began growling as it approached one of the officers, according to Kusmiss. It then appeared to be about to leap toward the officer, at which point the officer shot. The dog died instantly, Kusmiss said.

The officers then called animal control who arrived to take the dead dog away.

They put my dog inside a gar-bage bag, Yishay said. The gar-bage bag ripped open. This is how immature the whole thing was. The dog plummeted down and was bleeding right in front me. I was so angry.

Yishay, who owns a locksmith business in the city called Rock a Lock, of which Rock had been the mascot, said no arrests were made over the course of the incident and no charges have been brought against him for using the pellet gun.

All Use of Force incidents are thoroughly reviewed by BPD, Kusmiss said in the statement. No officer wants to be put in the position of using force, particu-larly deadly force, on animals or individuals, but sometimes must do so to protect him/herself, the safety of others and community safety.

Sex on TueSday

A bedroom masquerade

by divulging a personal secret, dem-onstrating a silly voice that only makes an appearance on special occasions or performing a dance you learned on YouTube. After all, you never know what could happen. Maybe they have their own silly voices, too, or share your fondness for eating Nutella straight out of the jar. Or maybe its something thatll end up bringing you closer together. There are few things that I can think of sexier than eating Nutella in bed together. And if you can think of anything better, let me know.

There is undoubtedly a sweet side to this kind of role-playing, but not all role-play is strictly prop-based. The act of seeing through a mask is difficult enough. Seeing through a fake person, however, can be damn near impossible. Many questions come to mind regarding the need for the mask: Who needs it, and how long is it used for? But of all of these, the most important question is the one that asks, Why?

Sex has the capacity to break down walls we never knew were possible, barriers we erected in self-defense and guarded heavily in our own ways. Deep connections between people are formed upon the destruction of these walls.

As for the man who wears an iron mask, I pity you. For those of you out there who permanently hide your true selves behind a facade for fear of discovery, Im sorry to say that you will never find intimacy behind stone walls. Though this type of mask may be successful at first, it will grow to be a tiresome thing, drawing more and more of your effort each time you call upon it, until there is noth-ing left but an empty shell. The true identity has vanished from repeated disuse.

One of the largest appeals of inti-macy is its genuine nature. And in matters of sex, where the only thing you have to offer another person is who you really are, you cant afford to be insincere. The authenticity of a person is what you strive to find, and when the masks are sheathed, you find that you can see not only your partner clearly, but yourself as well.

Everyone wears a mask to bed.Personality is multifacet-ed. It is fluid in the way that it is never exactly the same around two people, that it reveals itself only partially at best.

And yet, during the potentially great act of intimacy that is sex, we assume that we have more than just a faint idea of who the person is beneath us. We know their name, occupation, age (ideally). Some of us may have known them for years; others, for a few hours.

Either way, we never enter totally unarmed. We convince ourselves that whatever information we have about this person is sufficient, that it is compelling enough to justify having sex with them.

But what if we are really at a loss? What if, no matter how well we thought we knew someone, there was an untold abyss within them that we would never see? Suddenly, youre looking at your partner in a new light, thinking to yourself, Who are you, really?

This is where the mask comes into play. The mask is the personal-ity you know best: the jokes and flirty touches that led you in so deep, the conversations and eve-nings that may have even led to you falling in love. What you know may be nothing more than a cultivated and deliberate product of your part-ners wishes this is how they want themselves to be seen.

Until, of course, we venture into role-playing, where the figurative becomes the literal. Here, everyone, openly, is an actor. How much of the role is real and how much is acting?

The power of role-playing lies in that of anonymity. With anonymity comes a sort of fearlessness, the freedom to reveal the true self. It is really safety that accompanies the screen of another persona, because with this creation, no one is held in contempt. As creativity seizes the reins, judgment is diminished (and if thats your kind of thing, well, thats just an added perk).

And in the face of acceptance true, mutual acceptance between two people real intimacy is created. The mask helps to ease people into under-standing. Under the guise of role-playing, you can learn so much more about yourself and your partner.

If youre dying to test out your newfound French accent, slap on a maid outfit (feather duster optional). Or perhaps youre eager to see what youd look like in a fedora and some tweed. Ring your partners doorbell and arrive with newspaper in hand, pen in the other, exclaiming that the world is going to end unless you have sex, right then and there. After all, the paper never lies.

Better yet, try role-playing as yourself. Show your partner that theres more than meets the eye

Cafe owner aims to extend hours

As the city of Berkeley attempts to move forward with its long-standing plan to transform Telegraph Avenue into a 24-hour commercial zone, Caffe Mediterraneum owner Craig Becker, a major proponent of the 24/7 plan, has chosen to pursue a different route to extend his business hours.

On March 15, about two weeks after the citys Planning Commission de-cided to hold a public hearing for the proposal, Becker applied for an Ad-ministrative Use Permit requiring a review process by both the city and public due to its potential impacts on the area to operate his business 24 hours a day.

I decided not to wait, Becker said. In general, we need to revive Tele-graph at night. Not everything can happen at the same time, but we need to start the process.

He added that part of the 24/7 proposal allows businesses that serve alcohol to stay open until 3 a.m. as opposed to the current 2 a.m. closing time but that since Caffe Med does not serve alcohol, he does need not wait for the proposals approval.

At a Planning Commission meet-ing March 2, some commissioners said they did not want to extend hours for alcohol-serving businesses, pointing to concerns about students drinking in the area late at night.

But Becker said this problem could

By Karinina Cruz | Staffkcruz@dailycal.org

be solved if businesses continue to sell food throughout the night. Most alco-hol establishments stop serving food at 10 p.m., according to Becker.

(They can) stay there and be able to eat ... without having to leave, he said, adding that bar-goers have to walk up to businesses that currently serve food after 10 p.m., such as Top Dog and King Pin Donuts. It gets noisy.

In seeking an administrative use

permit, Becker said he wants to have the option of deciding when to close his business each night, though the cafe will most likely not stay open for all 24 hours.

The comments (from the public) are usually positive, he said. There is a couple of Why do you want to open 24/7? And I dont know, but I want to be able to if there are enough crowds

Caffe Mediterraneum owner Craig Becker is looking to make his business open 24 hours a day, seven days a week as part of an effort to revitalize Telegraph at night.

GRENADES: Similar case occurred recently

of four fully certified bomb technicians including one commander and two assistants who train extensively for about a year before they are certified. UCPD has agreements with over 20 police agencies in the area, including all departments in Marin County.

The squad usually receives around a dozen calls a year from local depart-ments, ranging from reports of suspi-cious items and unattended luggage to actual explosives, such as the ones found Friday.

According to Bennett, the squad received more than 100 calls in 2001 following Sept. 11. The team also trains with its own bomb-disabling robot.

The Berkeley Police Department also has a bomb squad which has col-laborated with the UCPD team.

In a similar incident last month

where UCPD was also called in for as-sistance, a man delivered two World War II gas grenades found in his de-ceased fathers shop to the San Rafael Fire Department. The streets around the station were closed temporarily as a safety precaution. The UCPD team transported the grenades to a secure location where they were detonated.

San Rafael Battalion Chief Jeff Row-an said these cases are slightly more common in San Rafael than in other cities, but added that no serious inci-dents involving injuries have resulted in recent decades.

Its an unusual occurrence, Rowan said. We do have an older commu-nity with older homes. When a fam-ily member dies, sometimes the heirs or siblings come to clean up the home and find these things forgotten in the garage.

Union members rally for solidarity

Hundreds of union members and supporters gathered in Berke-ley on Monday, declaring their soli-darity for fellow union members in other states while protesting issues closer to home, including changes to funding for benefits on the UC Berkeley campus and the confir-mation of a new nominee to the UC Board of Regents.

Approximately 300 members of several unions assembled at noon on Bancroft Way and Telegraph Avenue. Chanting slogans, they marched up the hill to the Interna-tional House, where they picketed in support of unions facing oppo-sition in Wisconsin and against a proposal to decentralize the fund-ing of benefits for graduate stu-dents on campus and the pending confirmation of David Crane to the UC Board of Regents.

The protesters included mem-bers of United Auto Worker Lo-cal 2865, which represents GSIs; University Council-American Fed-eration of Teachers, which repre-sents non-Academic Senate fac-ulty members and librarians; and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3299, which represents UC service and patient care workers.

Members of UC-AFT and UAW protested Cranes confirmation because of a Feb. 27 op-ed Crane published in the San Francisco Chronicle in which he wrote that collective bargaining is a good thing when its needed to equalize power, but when public employees already have that equality because of civil service protections, collec-tive bargaining in the public sec-tor serves to reduce benefits for citizens and to raise costs for tax-payers which many interpreted

24/7: Permit application needs review, appeal period before final approval

and its worth it.Pam Johnson, an assistant planner

for the city who will review Beckers application, said the permit process may take a couple of months since the application needs to be reviewed for 30 days in addition to a 21-day appeal period for those who express discon-tent with the application.

The citizens of the immediate area support late night businesses, said Councilmember Kriss Worthington, whose district includes the cafe. In respect for the people who live in the area near campus, that should be a possibility.

Roland Peterson, executive direc-tor of the Telegraph Business Im-provement District, said the district supports Beckers permit application,

adding that he would like to see more businesses to stay open late. However, the district is not actively promoting the idea of businesses applying for permits to extend their hours, though it would like to see changes in city poli-cies to allow them to stay open later, Peterson said.

While there is still no set date for the commissions public hearing, the com-mission has requested that the citys Planning & Development Department draft a new report restricting the pro-posal to establishments that do not sell alcohol.

It sure sounded that they will change the language (of the proposal), Peterson said. To what extent we would support or accept a compro-mise, I dont know yet. Karinina Cruz covers business.

Governor appoints two Berkeley residents to state office positions

Gov. Jerry Brown appointed two Berkeley residents to state office po-sitions Monday in a maneuver that filled 14 vacancies in the office with new appointees from around the state.

Ellen Widess, a self-employed con-sultant in the field of occupational safety and health and immigration policy, was appointed chief of the states Division of Occupational Safe-ty and Health, while Christine Baker, executive officer of the state Commis-sion on Health and Safety and Work-ers Compensation, was appointed chief deputy director of the Depart-ment of Industrial Relations, accord-ing to a statement from the governors office.

The departments goal is to im-prove working conditions for the states workers and to advance their opportunities for profitable employ-ment, according to its website.

The Governor has called upon

By Damian Ortellado | Staffdortellado@dailycal.org

the right candidate to lead the (De-partment of Industrial Relations) through the many challenges fac-ing employers and employees today, Association of California Insurance Companies President Mark Sektnan said in a statement released March 28 by the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, an affiliated trade association. Christine has the right experience and know-how to lead (the department) and help em-ployers and employees keep job sites safe and cope with these difficult eco-nomic conditions.

Before working as executive offi-cer of the Commission on Health and Safety and Workers Compensation, Barker was the acting deputy direc-tor at the state Division of Workers Compensation, according to the gov-ernors statement. Widess was previ-ously a consultant for the Centers for Disease Control on updated child la-bor standards.

She cares deeply about issues of social justice, the centers Execu-tive Director Wilda White said. I have a great deal of respect for her ... she has been able to appreciate organizations that do work that is critical to the advancement of social justice.

PROTEST: Demonstrators oppose confirmation of regent

as an attack on collective bargaining rights in the public sector.

To have somebody become a re-gent for the UC who said they dont believe in public bargaining rights is absurd for a public institution, said Mandy Cohen, head steward of UAW 2865.

Crane has denied that he disap-proved of public sector collective bar-gaining, adding that protests have not changed his view supporting increased pension payments.

UAW members also protested a pro-posal by UC Berkeley administrators calling for funding of employee bene-fits to be decentralized to departments, according to Jennifer Tucker, a GSI at

UC Berkeley and campus unit chair for UAW. The union has filed numerous grievances against the campus, stating that the proposal is a violation of the unions contract with the campus.

According to campus spokesperson Janet Gilmore, the labor relations divi-sion of the campus Human Resources Office is processing the grievances in accordance with the terms of the col-lective bargaining agreement.

The noon rally was one of a myriad of events across the Bay Area and the state. Protesters gathered early this morning at the KPFA radio station in downtown Berkeley and later at the Frank H. Oga-wa Plaza in Oakland. In the evening, many convened for a march through downtown San Francisco.

Protests were scheduled throughout the day at UC campus-es as well. At UC Davis, roughly 40 protesters held a teach-in in the campus law school, followed by a discussion panel featuring a labor attorney and the president of the graduate student assembly, according to Bill Camp, executive secretary of the Sacramento Cen-tral Labor Council.

The protests in California were all part of the international April 4 We Are One rally symbolically sched-uled for the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.s assassination which included demonstrations in cities in Afghanistan, France and Mongolia.

water bottle InItIatIve The stage was conspicuously less crowded at this years ASUC Election Candidates Forum, hosted by The Daily Californian on Friday. The audience, without the draw of either of the two major political par-ties, was full of empty seats.

This year is unique in recent history CalSERVE announced in early March that it would not be running any candidates for the executive offic-es, and Student Action abruptly reneged on its candidates commit-ments to attend the forum seven hours before the event was scheduled to begin.

The Student Action candidates had no obligation to us as editors to appear at our forum. They did, however, have an obligation to all voters to explain their platforms and detail what they would do with their offices. By refus-ing to appear at the forum, they instead chose to avoid the only opportunity for voters to see all the candidates put themselves on the same platform and engage in relevant, intelligent dis-course.

This choice ostensibly to focus on grassroots campaigning allowed Student Action candidates to avoid answering difficult questions and engaging opposing viewpoints. But

dodging this check on vague state-ments and empty promises only under-mines the democratic process.

The ASUC has incredible potential, as proven by its significant achieve-ments in the past. But it could never attain that potential with the current Student Action slate. Julia Joung, Joey Freeman, Christopher Alabastro and Vishalli Loomba are unfit to be lead-ers.

We recognize that Student Action candidates will probably win the majority, if not all, of the executive slates the party has become an effi-cient machine that is unparalleled in its ability to galvanize its base, and without CalSERVE providing a unified opposition, there is little in the way of their victory. But we also know that they are not qualified to lead and have determined our endorsements accord-ingly.

What follows are our recommenda-tions, but ultimately the choice of who to vote for is up to you. Whatever your opinion, be sure to vote today, tomor-row or Thursday and exercise your role in our democracy. Its up to you to determine the future of both your cam-pus and your student government.

Few people would disagree that the production of bottled water comes at a high environ-mental cost, especially when clean tap water is a readily available and often significant-ly cheaper alternative.

It is this line of thinking that brings about the End the Sale of Bottled Water initiative. This initiative respectfully requests the campus to con-sider ending the sale of bottled water in all non-emergency situations and to increase the number of hydration stations and working drinking foun-tains.

At the forum, we were very impressed with the speakers for both sides. Their speeches were well-researched and informative, and both present-ed compelling arguments for and against the initiative. However, the advisory nature of the initiative, combined with the admirable goal of reducing plastic waste, lead us to recom-mend a yes vote.

This initiative is an impor-tant, if flawed, step forward, and while we agree with the end goal that the sale of bottled water should be even-tually phased out were unsure that the pro campaign has adequately thought through the financial implica-tions of such a move.

With the campus enduring some of the deepest cuts it has ever faced and a contract with Coca-Cola providing a signifi-cant source of revenue, we question the timing of any move that would further reduce campus income in these diffi-cult economic times.

However, this is not a fatal flaw the passage of this ref-erendum would have no bind-ing authority, and could not on its own imperil any legal con-tracts. Its strength is in its rep-resentation of the student voice.

In collecting the necessary number of signatures to have it placed on the ballot, Rose Whitson showed that there is interest in such a move. If the proposal passes, administra-tors should definitely take action.

If the initiative passes, administrators should begin the necessary research into ending the sale of bottled water. Once the data is avail-able, they should share it with students and explain why the request is or is not practical. If the cost is too high, then it should be rejected but at least we will know it was the right decision.

Vote Yes on the End the Sale of Bottled Water initia-tive.

Student AdvocAte

Unlike the other ASUC executive positions, the student advocate is tra-ditionally an independent endorsed by the two major parties and faces opposition from third-party candi-dates only. Constitutionally, the office is obligated to provide resources to students charged with conduct viola-tions. Its also responsible for the broader mandates of educating the student body of their rights and rep-resenting students in discussions with administrators on conduct issues.

Though many things that the office does are necessarily shrouded by con-fidentiality rules, it has attained somewhat greater prominence due to

the protests of the last two years and their aftermaths. Now more than ever, the student advocate needs to be able to achieve two goals: better publicizing the services that the office provides and addressing problems within the current process.

It is for this reason that we endorse independent candidate and current chief of staff to the student advocate Samar Shah. While we were con-cerned that his experience with the office would inhibit any innovation, he showed both at the forum and in his proposal that he recognizes the structural and visibility problems that the office faces and has concrete plans to address them. Defend

Affirmative Action Party candidate Raul Sanchez had an admirable pas-sion but was so narrowly focused on representing protesters and undocu-mented students that he consistently ran out of things to say at the forum, ending early and failing to adequately answer our questions.

Furthermore, Shahs experience in the office and commitment to reform-ing the conduct process solidify him as the obvious choice. He is much more familiar with the conduct pro-cess than Sanchez, who showed mul-tiple misunderstandings of the pur-pose of the office while at the forum.

Vote Samar Shah for student advo-cate.

SAMARSHAH

AAvP

The academic affairs vice president is responsible for a litany of duties, among them communicating with the Academic Senate and appointing student repre-sentatives to administrative communi-ties. This positions importance grows every year, especially as the number of budget cuts and departmental consoli-dations rise.

Given the current financial crisis that the campus faces and the proposed solutions by all the candidates, we can-not in good faith endorse any candidate. Instead, we will provide a voters guide identifying each candidates proposals and weaknesses.

SQUELCH! candidate Rachel Horning rightly noted that many stu-dents are stressed out and spent much of her time attacking Student Action

candidate Julia Joung. Defend Affirmative Action Party candidate Brian Mosley, while passionate about increasing minority enrollment and addressing what he perceives as a rac-ist and segregated campus, had few specific plans and was unable to ade-quately answer our questions.

Joung chose not to attend our forum and instead was evaluated by the one-page proposal that she submitted to The Daily Californian. Unfortunately, her proposal is so vague and uninspired that it is impossible to adequately deter-mine her qualifications. Her plans to increase outdoor study space outside of Dwinelle and other buildings is some-what baffling is not what is already there outdoor study space? Similarly,

she fails to explain how her proposed mentorship program would be any dif-ferent from various other such pro-grams on campus.

Most importantly, she fails to explain how she would accomplish any of her proposals. How would she fund a great-er number of webcasts? How, exactly, would she empower students by demanding greater transparency of Operational Excellence especially if she wasnt at the most recent presenta-tion on OE to the ASUC Senate, as Horning pointed out. Had Joung attended the forum, she might have been able to provide greater detail on these topics.

Because of these three wholly unin-spiring choices, we are unable to endorse any candidate for AAVP.

eAvPThe external affairs vice president is

responsible for adovcating beyond the boundaries of campus by representing the ASUC at city, university and state-wide levels. Under current EAVP Ricardo Gomez, the office has shifted from a focus on lobbying to one of direct action, raising awareness among students about campus protests and days of action.

While we did not see the same enthusiasm and commitment in this years candidates that we saw in Gomez, we were nonetheless impressed enough with independent Ratha Lai to endorse him.

He is not the ideal candidate admittedly, his plans for the office strike us as incomplete, and he has much work ahead to ensure they come

to fruition. But he has a significant history of working with city leaders, and he shows a commendable famil-iarity with local issues such as the Southside Plan.

DAAP candidate Brian Mosley showed a poor understanding of the current state of the EAVPs office, puz-zling us with his assertion that Gomez who has been arrested twice since assuming the EAVP position isnt a true activist. Mosleys message that leaders must include the entire stu-dent body is a theme we agree with, but we do not see the polarizing DAAP as being able to unite the campus. If the party wants a serious chance at being elected, they need to adopt a less hostile tone and work to better under-stand local issues.

Student Action candidate Joey Freeman chose not to attend the forum and was evaluated based on his one-page proposal. Unfortunately for everyone, his proposal had many talk-ing points but few details. His history of lobbying and idea to create a system to alert students of important legisla-tion sounds promising, but he does not adequately explain how he would turn these ideas into real action. Furthermore, his most ambitious pro-posal to lobby for a city council dis-trict of students belies his experi-ence with the Los Angeles City Council and suggests a very poor understand-ing of how both redistricting and how his office work.

Vote Ratha Lai for external affairs vice president.

RATHALAI

evP

The executive vice president is the second-most important representative of the ASUC, serving as the chair of the ASUC Senate and sit-ting on the ASUC Store Operations Board. Success in this position requires not only a strong familiar-ity and understanding of the way that the senate works but also broad knowledge of ASUC finances.

Elliot Goldsteins record as a highly visible and active sen-ator, regular presence at board meetings and performance both at the forum and in the race as a whole make him the most qualified candidate weve seen in years to be executive vice president.

As the only senator who regularly goes to board meetings, Goldstein has an understanding unmatched by any of his opponents of how the board operates and the power inherent in its decisions. While we dont necessarily agree with him that the board is a usurpation of student rights it is a majority student board his opinion is based on experi-ence. His clear understanding of the boards history should be shared by every senator, and we urge him to remember it and consider the opposing perspective before denouncing the board.

Goldstein is similarly qualified to serve as senate chair. His active role as ASUC senator and long-needed propos-al to reduce superfluous laptop use reveal institutional knowledge that the EVP position requires, and his promise to fix the website shows awareness of problems that have long plagued the ASUC. We wish he had addressed more problems facing the senate, but we enthusiastically endorse him nonethe-less.

DAAP candidate Katie Gilmores recent endorsement of Goldstein effec-tively removes her from consideration, and her proposal to eliminate Roberts Rules of Order is a non-starter.

Student Action candidate Chris Alabastro, along with the rest of the Student Action slate, chose not to attend the forum. His vague one-page proposal belied the lofty goals on which his cam-paign is based. His ideas such as ensuring a smooth transition for student groups leaving Eshleman Hall and the establishment of a $150 First-Year Student Group Grant ring hollow without plans for implementation.

The truth is, we have little to say about Alabastro because he had little to say to us. Had he come to the forum, the campus community would have a better perspective of how he would compare to the other candidates.

Vote Elliot Goldstein for EVP.

STEFAN MONTOUTH

The president of the ASUC is the most powerful student execu-tive, with the potential to be the most prominent student on cam-pus. However, success is far from guaranteed. It is the most broadly defined position in the ASUC Constitution and requires confi-dence and motivation.

Over the years, we have seen multiple presidents with varying degrees of effectiveness. Student Action President Will Smelko in 2009-10 exceeded our expecta-tions to become a powerful and vocal advocate for students. Current President Noah Stern, also from Student Action, has been significantly less visible, with par-ticipants in the forum noting that his election scandal overshadowed any significant accomplishment.

This year, as budget cuts con-tinue and the number of protests continues to rise, a strong and pas-sionate leader is of paramount importance. Next years president must confidently and convincingly advocate for students while main-taining a deep grasp of the com-plex financial and social issues facing the university. This requires an experienced leader with specific goals and well thought-out plans. This requires Stefan Montouth.

As a senator with CalSERVE and also as an intern for two years in the ASUC Office of the President, Montouth has amassed consider-able experience working in differ-

ent branches of government. His familiarity with Operational Excellence would serve him well during his presidency, when he could provide administrators with the students perspective.

Other plans such as publish-ing a student-oriented midyear organizational report for the entire ASUC and hiring grant writers to facilitate the seeking of grants are inventive proposals that we would like to see implemented.

Montouth is no stranger to activism, having participated in the Blackout protest and worked with administrators during the Wheeler Hall ledge occupation. We have every confidence that he will approach student mobiliza-tion responsibly and know his experience will be beneficial for the entire campus.

Other candidates were either totally off the mark or, in the case of SQUELCH!, not running seri-ous campaigns. We were pleas-antly surprised by Emily Carlton, of SQUELCH!, who noted activ-ism is not mutually exclusive with cooperation with administrators, a message DAAP candidate Lauren Ballard would do well to heed.

Ballard showed herself to be totally unfit for office when she complained that issues such as the Store Operations Board or inter-nal ASUC structures were irrele-vant to the average student. If she

truly believes the ASUC and its financial responsibilities to be unimportant, then she should not have any say whatsoever in their administration.

Student Action candidate Vishalli Loomba, as with the rest of the Student Action executives, declined to attend the forum and instead submitted a vacuous, myo-pic proposal that failed to ade-quately address any significant issue currently facing the ASUC. An evaluation of her based on her proposal alone as she and party chair Shahriyar Bolandian believed to be sufficient makes us strong-ly doubt her ability to succeed as president.

The ineptitude of her proposal is exemplified by her only concrete idea: to require 10 percent of sav-ings from all cuts to be reinvested in scholarships and other financial aid. This idea would only hurt affected departments further by forcing administrators to make deeper cuts in order to achieve savings goals. Other proposals, such as the idea that she would create student achievement awards or facilitate artistic competitions, fail to address any of the impor-tant issues facing the campus and reveal that no thought was put into these words.

Vote Stefan Montouth for ASUC president.

Not too interested in comics or cartoons as a kid, I was never too sure of my favor-ite superhero. I went through a brief Power Rangers phase that Im sure hardly thrilled my parents; Im sure even they noticed that the black ranger enjoyed break dancing and that the yellow ranger was Asian.

I liked Batman, but his overt opulence, wise butler and pimped-out ride didnt exactly make him a working class (super)hero.

But I am happy to report that now I have a favorite superhero whose presence is changing the landscape of college basketball. The geeky glasses, the confident smile and the calm demeanor all point to one undeniable reality Butler head coach Brad Stevens is Clark Kent. Clark Kent is Superman. Thus, Brad Stevens is Superman.

Superman protected the masses and the earth from gangsters, lynch mobs and wife beaters. Stevens proves that paying players, violating sanctions and negotiating package deals can be defeated by a culture of teamwork, resilience and grit. They are both saviors, but the college basketball community still cant find Stevens kryptonite.

Though not yet a champ, Stevens has mastered the art of being unas-suming. For two straight years, hes proved that a disciplined team with decent talent can change the college hoops culture derided by so many.

A former pharmaceutical rep who looks like he should be leading your Political Science discussion, Stevens has already established himself as one of the top college basketball coaches before his 35th birthday. In fact, as crazy as it seems, he may al-ready be one of the best ever in only his fourth season as a leading man.

Too bold a claim? Butler pro-moted Stevens to head coach in 2007 after serving for six seasons as an assistant. As a head coach, Ste-vens is 117-25, has won his regular season conference championship every season and, before Mondays historically bad shooting night, had not lost an NCAA tournament game by more than five points (and one loss went to overtime). In the NCAA Tournament, Stevens is an astound-ing 11-4, has defeated two different No. 1 seeds and has already been to two national championship games.

The concept of the NCAA being minor league basketball is already well defined, but recently debates have emerged regarding the greed of the NCAA. Success in March Madness means significant payouts to the universities that succeed in the tournament. The financial al-lure of success has driven countless Division-I coaches to break all sorts of rules to improve their squads and enhance their chances. Stevens counterpart in last nights contest, Jim Calhoun, was sanctioned by the NCAA this season for the illegal recruitment of a player that never donned a UConn uniform.

Conversely, Stevens has tapped into potential that nobody thought was possible this day in age. Raised in Indiana, the state where basket-ball is king, Stevens has shown that the establishment of a program what he calls The Butler Way can overcome the demons that surround college basketball.

Butler is a team full of under-recruited, basketball-savvy indi-viduals with sterling fundamentals. The Bulldogs position themselves perfectly to rebound and can score both inside and from the perimeter.

Though the Bulldogs lost to the Huskies, Stevens has cemented his role and importance within college basketball. For Stevens, the cham-pionship will wait, but back-to-back title appearances solidifes Butler as, if not a national college basketball powerhouse, a team with a proven track record in March. Hes building a power and doing it The Butler Way. Calhoun can celebrate his title, but his bad reputation wont vanish with a third championship plaque.

It may have taken me until I was 21, but I definitely know my favorite superhero now.

renda: Infielderhas made mark on team history

confident I can, he says. Do I think anybody is better than me at the game? Yeah. Theres some people. But head-to-head, I trust that I could beat them.

Out of high school, the Dodgers drafted Renda in the 42nd round. The scout who called Renda told him the organization knew he was going to Cal, and they thought that was the right move for him.

We just wanted to say that we drafted you, he said. Just in case we dont get you again, at least we can say that we tried.

Renda appreciated the gesture, but he doesnt need anyone to tell him what he already knows: hes going to make it.

When Renda steps into the batters box, he takes his whole life with him. Some people find an escape in sports; Renda always finds his father there.

I think about him a lot when I play baseball, he says. Hes a big reason Im in baseball. Hes a huge reason why Im successful.

Renda falls silent for a long time. He seems vulnerable until he lifts his gaze up and you see his eyes burning. It keeps me going. It makes you want to play the game more. Do better.

In a year and a half at Cal, Ren-das done things that the program has never seen. He started every game last year as a true freshman and led the team with a .373 bat-ting average. He was among the Pac-10s leaders in five different offensive categories.

Coach David Esquer has seen a lot of future stars pass through Evans Diamond. In his 12 years at Cal, hes coached the likes of As reliever Tyson Ross and Mariners starter Brandon Morrow and hitters like Brett Jackson, Xavier Nady and Conor Jackson.

The best hes ever seen is a 5-foot-8 second baseman from Hillsborough.

Hes one of those players who comes along once in a career, Esquer says.

Someday, maybe, Renda will acknowledge that too. But, for now, he sees himself as a bundle of unfulfilled potential.

Renda talks about failure a lot. The word sounds so harsh, so final, but he doesnt see it that way. He uses failure like its dictionary definition: the opposite of success. Nothing more, nothing less.

If youre 0-for-4 and you dont get a hit, well, you just failed, he says. 0-for-5 and you didnt get a hit? Failed again.

These days, it feels like Renda is twice as hard on himself to make up for his fathers absence. Over the last five games, Rendas been mired in a slump, going 4-for-20 in that span. He hasnt taken it well.

Its his nature, his mother says. Hes harder on himself than anyone can be on him. I tell him all the time, Its all right ... He doesnt want to hear any of that.

On Sunday in a rubber match against USC, Renda fought off an 0-2 count, working it to 3-2. Then, with a quick flick of his wrists, he rolled a pitch toward third base. It never left the infield, but it didnt matter Renda was safe. Up in the stands, his mom stood and cheered.

Tony finally cracked a smile.

Renda will be all right, and hell figure it out on his own. He doesnt take advice from his mom, and he doesnt get much help from anyone else either. The coaches let him work through his struggles be-cause he knows himself better than they ever could. His teammates are smart enough not to impose, but that doesnt mean they dont care.

Last September, Esquer sug-gested the team attend Jog for Jill, a lung cancer fundraiser, in honor of Rendas dad. Without telling Renda, the entire team showed up to represent Team Frank. His mother cried, but Tony just stood there and smiled.

Hes one of our brothers, short-stop Marcus Semien says. Weve always got his back.

When Renda steps into the batters box, its no different. He squares himself to the plate, digs his left foot in a little. He swings his bat back and forth a few times, settles in. In that moment, its just him and the pitcher.

But if he turns back to look, he is never alone.

From Page 11m. Tennis: Getting first serves in doubles will be key for Cal

a doubles point, and the team didnt reap results until it settled on a regular lineup that placed the No. 22 duo of junior Nick Andrews and sophomore Christoffer Konigs-feldt at court No. 1.

According to Zerbini, the team has been playing lots of doubles in practice, with a focus on keeping the ball low on returns.

If we can make lots of first serves, then that makes all the difference, Zerbini said.

Wright said that at this stage in the season, longer, more all-encompassing practices have given way to more specific drills to sharpen the players competitive skills in preparation for postseason.

But regardless of the final score, the seniors will re-member this day as the culmination of their time spent at Hellman.

It shouldnt be any different in terms of play, said Zerbini. But at the same time its more special. Its been a great experience playing here the last four years. It means a lot to me. Annie Gerlach covers mens tennis.

arent hitting, (pitchers) have to pick us up and vice versa.

The Bears have also shown more versatility at the plate. The middle of the batting order struggled against the Trojans Sunday, with shortstop Marcus Semien and sec-ond baseman Tony Renda first and second on the team in RBI combining to go 2-for-9.

Instead, other bats woke up. Matthews and left fielder Austin Booker paced the bottom of the order with 2-for-4 and 2-for-3 per-formances, respectively. Not a sin-gle Cal batter struck out.

Its a sign of a great team that our big hitters dont have to always tear

it up in order for us to put up a lot of runs, catcher Chadd Krist said. Our six through nine hit-ters, everybody, every other game is stepping up.

Pacific (8-16) hasnt performed nearly as well lately. Last Friday, the Tigers were blown out 20-0 by Long Beach State before clos-ing the three-game series with two close contests.

The Bears, meanwhile, are tied for the Pac-10 lead with Arizona State and UCLA. Will they still be there in June?

Its too early to look at things like that, Esquer said. Were just taking every single win we can get. Every single win gets us closer to where we want to be. Jack Wang covers baseball.

Pedro Zerbini has amassed an 11-4 singles record on court No. 1 this season. The senior is ranked No. 17 in the country in singles.

No. 13 Bears finding groove as Pacific visits Evans

Seniors bid farewell to Hellman, for now

Like nearly every home match for the last three years, senior captain Pedro Zerbini will wage battle on the top singles court. Todays 1:30 p.m. match against San Diego is the last time it will happen at home in the regular season.

But it might not be the last time it will happen in his career.

A win today could boost the No. 6 Cal mens tennis teams chances at hosting the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament in May, giving Zerbini and fellow seniors Bozhidar Katsarov, Jonathan Dahan and Zach Gilbert an opporunity to play at the Hellman Tennis Complex even after the Senior Day celebration closes.

Theyre not a conference team, coach Peter Wright said of San Di-ego. But as far as NCAA goes, com-bined with the fact that this is our last home match, makes it critical.

The last time the two teams met was in 2005, when the Bears defeat-ed the Toreros, 4-2.

Rosters of players and coaches have changed since then this is only

Brett Masis second year as coach at USD but similar results from both teams throughout this season could lead to a similarly close final score.

After a five-match winning streak was snapped by Texas A&M on March 16, the Bears (10-5, 2-1 in the Pac-10) have traded wins and losses for the last three matches. Mean-while, the Toreros 12-match winning streak two matches short of an all-time school record came to a halt after Pepperdine handed them a 6-1 loss last Saturday.

The Toreros have played lower-profile colleges while the Bears scheduled more top-25 competition; still, both USD and Cal earned wins over Arizona, UCSB and Utah and lost to No. 2 USC.

The teams performance in dou-bles is bound to be one of the decid-ing factors of the day.

The Toreros only dropped the doubles point three times in that 12-match streak, and they field a No. 15 tandem of senior Dean Jackson and junior Patrick Pohlmann on the top court.

Cal went four matches at the be-ginning of the season before grasping

Before the season, Cal baseball coach David Esquer said that pitch-ing and defense would be his teams calling cards this year.

Turns out the No. 13 Bears have a fuller deck.

The team has been more than solid in both those facets 25 games in it ranks second in the Pac-10 in opposing batting average and in the top four in both fielding per-centage and double plays.

But when Pacific visits Evans Diamond at 2:30 p.m. today, theyll

Against USC on Sunday, pitcher Dixon Anderson wasnt his usual self as he allowed four runs in the games first 4 1/3 innings.

So the Bears looked elsewhere.They were aggressive when bat-

They showed some fire when needed, as third baseman Mitch Delfino exchanged a few choice words with the Trojans Brandon Garcia; the designated hitter had just been tagged out at second as he slid in, but had left Tony Renda crumpled in the dirt.

Not quite the usual college small ball, but now Cal (19-6, 5-1 in the Pac-10) knows it has a couple more weapons.

This team is so close-knit, said center fielder Darrel Matthews, who had three RBI against the Trojans. We know we have to pick each other up. When the hitters

SportS Cal has won nine of its last 10 as it enters a midweek game against Pacific.Tuesday, april 5, 2011 dailycal .org/sporTs

SCARtissue

By Katie Dowd | Senior Staffkdowd@dailycal.org

Frank Renda spent eight years building the house his children grew up in.He tore out walls over and over, and he fired the men who had failed to build them right the first time. Sometimes he worked alone because he was the only one he could trust.

Tony Renda was 10 years old when his family moved in, and he was 18 when he moved out. In that house, he became one of the greatest baseball players in Serra High history; he was recruited to play for the Cal baseball team; he faced accusa-tions of steroid use; he said goodbye to his father.

In that home, Tonys father taught him to be tough. Many of the lessons were filtered through baseball. From the day Tony joined his first T-ball league, Frank expected him to build each at-bat the way he did the rooms of their house: with pre-cision, care and determination. Tony rarely lasted long in any league before being promoted he hit too hard and it scared the other parents.

When he was four, he was infuriated to learn that his team got snacks after T-ball, win or lose.

He thought if they lost, they didnt deserve to have snacks, his mother Larree says. Hed get upset and cross his arms and be real disgrun-tled, because he thought they werent taking it seriously like he was.

Frank Renda has been gone less than a year now. He died of lung cancer last summer, and Tony, his youngest, skipped summer ball to spend a few more weeks by his side. When Tony took the field at Evans Diamond this spring, he looked like he hadnt missed a thing.

Summer ball, its a tremendous learning period for field players, catcher Chadd Krist says. And to see him come out here and tear it up, it shows how much mental toughness he has.

Nothing would make Frank prouder.

The summer before Tony Renda came to Cal, a rumor started going around his hometown that hed had his scholarship revoked.

They said that Im on steroids, Renda says. That I tested positive.

The lie never bothered Renda much. That people immediately assumed the real reason for his success was steroids did.

Cant anyone accept that I work hard and get the most out of myself? he said then.

Renda never has to think when he plays base-ball, because his every movement is pure muscle memory. Hes in the batting cages when he doesnt need to be, on the field begging for a few more grounders, in the gym when the weather is bad.

He got that from his father.His dad was always trying to toughen him up,

Larree says. He always told me, Dont baby him.Tony, with his soft, youthful face and slight

frame, is surprisingly hard to imagine as a boy at all. His eyes, which could be gentle blue in another face, cut like shards of glass even when

hes smiling. (My father) knew the talent that me and my

brother both had, Tony says. He got on both of us when we didnt play to our level. Parents dont do that anymore. Thats how he was raised, thats how he raised us.

As Tony grew, his athletic prowess became more and more apparent. He played with and destroyed kids twice his age. He adopted a stride-less swing that was vicious in its produc-tivity. The only screaming matches of Tonys life were between him and his father and they were usually over baseball. On days when he went 0-for-4, whether in person or by phone, Frank was always waiting for Tony after the game.

He gave me a pretty good ass-chewin, and you better believe Saturday I came out 4-for-5, Tony says.

Renda worked with hitting instructors and trainers and tore through club baseball. At Serra High, former home of Barry Bonds and Tom Bra-dy, Renda stood toe-to-toe with the two legends. His senior year, he broke former major leaguer Gregg Jefferies career record with 152 hits.

Then, a rumor started going around that Renda was juicing. The San Francisco Chronicle ran an article about Greg Anderson, a personal trainer who allegedly supplied Bonds with steroids. For years, Anderson had worked with young Bay Area baseball players. Renda was one of them.

The article used Renda as a case study to ques-tion the judgment of parents who entrusted their sons to Anderson. The public reaction was imme-diate and vitriolic. Renda still gets heated now.

I wont take back anything I said about Greg, he says. I would stand up for the guy. I would defend him. Whatever hes done, I dont care.

Thats not the only thing that bothers Renda. It burns him that the story sparked speculation that his athletic ability came out of a needle, not from his work ethic. Some people in Hillsbor-ough, Calif., still believe that.

Renda doesnt put any stake in it.I have a lot of people saying Im cocky, he

says. It takes a lot to rattle my cage. Theres only one person who could rattle me.

He flashes a rare smile: It was my dad.Criticism isnt new to Renda. Hes been called

cocky, conceited and worse. When he broke Jef-feries record, he compared himself to Bonds and Brady, and that annoyed many. Renda is the type that you either like immediately or dislike. He doesnt grow on you, because he never changes what you see that first time is exactly what you get.

So some will always think of him as an abrasive cheater, while others will respect him because, if nothing else, hes never stopped fighting.

Am I going to be a Hall of Famer someday? God, I hope so. I think I can. Im extremely
