takes notes in class. It is now illegal to sell class notes on
the Web without a professor's permission.
A new law aimed at curbing the
online sale of lecture notes is good news
for professors who complain that these
notes violate personal copyright privileges.
Gov. Gray Davis approved Assembly Bill 1773 on Sept. 22. which prohibits businesses from using professors'
lecture notes without their consent for
the purpose of making profit. Violators
will be punished arid repeat offenders
may be cited up to $25,000.

The law applies to all 23 California
State University campuses. The University of California system and private
schools are not required to adopt the
law because those systems have constitutional separations that stop legislation from being mandated.
"This is an im ~t beginnin ,"
said James
California Fa~ty
Association officer, and San Diego State
University sociology professor.
"It's a complicated business. Copyright legislation is going to be a battleground for the next couple of years," he
said.
The law was introduced after profess<?rs at CSU campuses complained that

Aside from praising Gore during the
debate, Lieberman talked about the democratic agenda. He said the democratic plan
would help local schools hire one million
new primary and secondary school teachers in the next decade to achieve a national average of 18 students per classroom.
Lieberman also talked about global

Police said the woman was shocked, but
got up to look for help. She found two students nearby and asked them to call the

In an attempt to hide the nude images,
Carrigan blurred them using the graphic
design program Photoshop.
"Being in the rush that I was in, I did not
inspect the small pictures in the mosaic as
carefully as I should have," he wrote. "I
could tell they were people but not what
they were doing. I decided since I did not
know what they were doing, I would distort the image with a gaussian blur."
Franklin said he saw the cover before it

about peace in the Middle East. I asked
myself why people were dying. I wrote
a lot of things in that column that have
been clearly answered by actions which
have taken place since the event. In case
you need a reminder,l had written in my
prior column that I felt Ariel Sharon
going to the Temple Mount, one of the
holiest sights to the Palestinian people,
was a calculated event which instigated
the deep-rooted hatred among the Palestinians and Israelis to resurface.
I still agree that his actions were disrespectful to the Palestinian people, but
I want to make clear that I in no way
agree with the way the Palestinian people are handling this anger. Nothing is
justifiable in the death of innocent people. There is no reason for them to be
murdering Israeli soldiers or beating
them in the street. There is no legitimate
reason for them to continue stoning
innocent bystanders or burning the dead
in mass rallies.

this because the Israeli army is using
excessive force against them, but do they
leave them any choice? If they choose to
attack the Israeli people, then the Israeli
people have every right to protect themselves. They leave them no other choice.
As I see it, the Palestinian people have
the power to end this. They can stop the
violence and in return the Israeli government will have no reason to use force
against them. Ehud Barak, Israel's prime
minister, has given them the chance to
end it all, yet they still resort to harming
and killing the Israeli people.
Why is there bloodshed, as I asked
before?
Because they want it. They are using
Sharon's idiotic move to get what they
have wanted all along. If they didn't
want to fight, it could all end right now,
but recent events, from the bombing of
an American navy vessel to the murder
of the two Israeli soldiers, show otherwise. The way they have handled this is
inexcusable! They are bringing death not
only the Israeli soldiers, but to their own
people. I suppose these are commodities
that they are willing to jeopardize.
I still want peace. I still want all of this
fighting to end. I still don't understand
why they are allowing all of these people to die when only a few weeks ago the
peace talks were making progress.
Perhaps this is a calculated move by
Arafat? Perhaps he has used Sharon's
horrendous tactic as a tactic of his own.
Just as I cannot condone Sharon, I cannot condone any of the events following.
Sadly, they allow these acts of hate to
continue to spread throughout the country.
As things are changing everyday, I
can not give a final word on this, but I do
hope that when there is one it will not be
"war."

GRAPHIC BY JEREMY LYNCH
Arafat, not Israel, to blame
for violence in Middle East
In Israel, when it comes to terrorism,
the issue is always black and white.
While I understand the general principle that nothing is usually black and
white, in this case I tend to agree with
the Israeli position-because Arab terrorism has made it so.
The media like to create the illusion
of a more complicated situation than
what really exists. But it is not complicated. The situation in the Middle East
is about terrorism, plain and simple.
Last week, this conflict became red,
white and blue. Arab terrorists
bombed the USS destroyer Cole while
it patrolled off the coast of Yemen. The
death of American soldiers killed in
Yemen by a terrorist attack has
changed the focus of the US media.
After the bombing of the Cole, the
media reported the incident as Arab
terrorism. When terrorism hits home,
is directed at Americans, it becomes
terrorism.
Yet this is exactly what Israel has
been facing for years - Arab terrorism.
The American people are not stupid.
They should realize that this is all
about media spin. The American
media can choose to report the violence in Israel as a struggle for dignity
by the Arab people or it can choose to
level with its audience and tell the real
story. The bloodshed in Israel is due to
the violence perpetrated by Palestinian terrorists under the leadership of
Vasser Arafat, who can only be
described as a terrorist thug.
This most recent conflict stems from
the Camp David talks earlier this year.
Arafat backed out after Barak,
according to President Clinton, made
unprecedented compromises in the
interest of peace.
If peace, and not terrorism, was
Arafat's goal, he should have jumped
at the opportunity for such gains.
Arafat's negative reaction to Barak's
compromises surprised many people.
After all, this man had won the Nobel
Peace Prize.
It wasn't surprising to me. I never
understood why a man responsible for
countless terrorist attacks against
REED
AlBERGOTTI
civilian Israeli men, women and children would be given a peace prize.
Israel didn't come into existence
because the Jews in Europe suddenly
wanted to leave their homes and go to
an undeveloped desert in Palestine.
Jews came to what is now Israel
because they wanted peace. They had
survived the Holocaust and did not
want more violence and death.
The violence and death in Israel is
senseless. Arafat could end it if he
chose to.
Has Barak really used excessive
force against the Palestinians? Innocent Israeli citizens have been slaughtered. If the lives of American soldiers,
let alone American civilian men,
women and children were threatened
on a daily basis, America would rightfully do whatever it takes to eliminate
the threat. The actions of Israeli soldiers are actions of self-defense against
the countless acts of terrorism over the
years, epitomized recently by the brutal torture and murder of two Israeli
soldiers and the bombing of innocent
school children.
When a real and lasting effort is
made toward peace, then we can hand
out prizes.
It is ludicrous to give a Noble Peace
Prize toa terrorist. Let's end the ridiculous media spin and caU this conflict
what it is, self-defense against terrorist
attacks.

America's leader into the 21st Century
will be elected this coming November.
Two of the three presidential debates are
in the books. They were informative but
also bland. Sure, issues such as foreign
policy, capital punishment and guns
were touched on - but seeing as how
both candidates agreed on all of the
issues mentioned above, it makes me
question the whole debate part of their
little get-together.
I was not the only one who thought
these debates were quite bland. In a scientific poll conducted by The Nation magazine regarding the discussion of major
current political issues in the United
States by the two main party candidates,
an overwhelming majority of Americans
said they were upset with the candidate's
nonchalant treatment of such issues.
Of those polled, 91 percent said they
had concern for Americans without
healthcare, 74 percent showed concern
for the gap between the rich and the poor
and 81 percent said they would support
an increase in the minimum wage. Even
more impressive - 83 percent of voters
said they believe the growth of international trade should be moderated by
goals such as human rights, the environment and the protection of laborers.

We should not be celebrating Columbus Day
This past Columbus Day
brought me back to my childhood. Vista Grande school, sitting in my third grade history
lesson, hearing nothing but
praise for our hero, the man
who discovered America, Mr.
Christopher Columbus.
"Now remember," the teacher would say in her cutesy highpitched voice, "Columbus
sailed the ocean blue in fourteen-hundred and ninety-two."
Wouldn't life be wonderful if
that little rhyme was all there
was to Columbus?
Reality sinks in. Mrs. Tredenick, my feminist fifth grade
teacher, began to put other
thoughts in my head.
"Well, Columbus wasn't really here first. There were people
like Leif Erikson who came
before him," she said.
But since we were still little
children, we went back to the
thought process that Columbus
did eventually arrive in America to find spices and wealth, and
so came the tradition we call
Thanksgiving.
JACKIE
FlEISHON
OK - so a little more truth
was revealed, but our blissful
ignorance still allowed us to
enjoy a Monday off in October,
and the wonderful Thanksgiving myth.
That is until our high school
American History class began.
This is where we began to touch
on the truth.
"1 know how much you all
love to live in your perfect
world where all our American
heroes are truly wonderfu\'''
our teacher said, "but Lincoln
was a slave holder, Ben Franklin
was a womanizer, and oh, did I
mention that Columbus wasn't
really nice to Native Americans
when he got here?"
This is the point when you
gasp out of outrage and run
home to tell your parents "you
will never believe what I
learned in school today."
Enraged for the evening, you
vow you will never celebrate
this holiday again, but time goes
by, you conveniently forget the
horrific details when that everappreciated day off from school
comes around and your longawaited turkey is on the table.
That is until, you get to college. For me, it was Julie Sullivan's political science class that
I took my freshman year. We
read a history book titled "We
the People," an account of true
American history. Now, I came
into this knowing my American
heroes were not the heroes I
thought they were, but 1 never
imagined the brutality I was
about to read.
Columbus was a person who
kept native people as slaves,
raped them, beat them and
exploited them to his advantage.
Sounds like the American
dream - slavery, exploitation
of workers and good old America taking all the credit. It's all
too familiar.
So, instead of fussing over
Monty as our mascot, maybe we
should be paying a little mQre
attention to our beloved American heroes. According to The
Daily Breeze, there were 140 Hispanic and American Indian people who stood in protest at this
year's Columbus Day parade in
Denver. They preached about
him being a slave trader who
committed genocide against
their ancestors. They poured
fake blood across the parade's
path.
The police gave them the
option to protest, but as soon as
there was one small demonstration of their feelings of disgust,
people were given the choice to
be arrested or leave. This hardly seems fair.
So what, it's OK for protesters
like pro-lifers to throw fake
blood and harass doctors, but
it's not OK for these peaceful
demonstrators to throw fake
blood on the ground?
We arrest them, but let the
celebration of the death and
exploitation of their ancestors
go on. It seems as if our American values are a little off here,
doesn't it? It makes the ridiculous Monty struggle look a little
insignificant in comparison.
While we are fighting over
keeping a symbol like Monty as
part of our school pride, there
are people fighting to change
history. Just something to think
about.

Two Breedloves make for one big confusion
On Tuesday, Oct. 3, The Daily Aztec ran
a letter to the editor titled, "Dr. Laura

The letter was written by San Diego
State University student Becky Breedlove.
We should have ide,ntified her as such.
There i~ a lecturer on campus by the
. same name: Becky Breedlove. Some peo-
pIe thought the letter was written by her.
The Aztec regrets the confusion.
To avoid similar situations in the future,
The Aztec is fine-tuning its Letters to the

ThankS lor the laugh
I know the intent of your letter ("Student really, really angry," Christa Carreker, Oct. 9) was not humor (or
"hue"mor), but it sure made me laugh.
Thank you for brightening my day.
Oh, and next time you gripe about
"blacks" (with a lowercase "b"), try to
refrain from speaking of "whites" (with
a lowercase "w"). Such hypocrisy basically completely discredits your case.

sense looks like. Thank you. However, the
only answer to the debate is to simply refer

I wasn't quite sure what you meant
by the word "arbitrary" when you
described religious morality, so I
looked it up in the dictionary. The word
arbitrary is defined as determined by
chance, whim or impulse. I would hard\.y think arbitrary would be the best
word to describe christianity and the
Holy Bible. I am Christian, but religious
arguments never get you anywhere, so
I'm going to attempt to put my beliefs
aside for the sake of argument.

This letter is in response to Feather
Ives' column, "Human race should
unite to eliminate Monty" (Oct. 11).
It's very simple. Ignorance is bliss,
Feather. For crying out loud - for the
last time - Aztec is not a derogatory
word! So your aimless column which
went from Squaw to Zulu to animal
names was totally off base. You are correct; those names are derogatory. As an
American Indian (San Pascual Band in
North San Diego county) and a SDSU
graduate myself, putting the Aztec
name on par with these derogatory
names is just simply too much. It's
embarrassing. It gives a new meaning
to "higher" education.
If this was such a huge problem for
everyone who is pro-change, why did
you continue to fill out your SDSU
admission application when it had the
name Aztec on it?
"You would have received an 'F'
for a factual error."
-. Justin Quis Quls,
SDSU Class of 1997
When I went to school from 1994 to
1997, this was never brought up and I
worked for The Daily Aztec for three
semesters. Surely I would have seen at
least one lame opinion column during
my tenure.
On the other hand, I'm impressed
that you did some research on the
meaning of squaw. However, as a former Aztec sports edi tor (Spring 1997), I
wondered aloud why you didn't go to
the sports desk to get your facts
straight. Stanford's nickname is Cardinal, as in the color, not Cardinals, as in
the bird. I always thought that anybody
who was fortunate enough to get a
byline should have to take Professor
Spevak's 200-level journalism course.
You would have received an 'F' for a
factual error.
Oh yea, incidentally, Stanford's m.ascot consists of some moron runnmg
around in a tree outfit. I mean, we
shouldn't demean trees either, right?
After all, ~on't we kill enough of them?
Do we now have to mock them as well?
When will the madness end?

Editor's note: Yeah, when will the mad-
ness end? Madness being the 500 letters a
day we receive regarding the mascot issue.
Maybe we should concede and be, if not a

Striking nenes
a good thing
This letter is in response to Jason
Williams' column, "Inquisjtion 2000:
Religion vs. cloning, stem cell research"
(Oct. 12).
.
Whether designed by man or God,
whether God exists because he created
us or we created him, Christianity is a
masterfully crafted system of beliefs.
Whether Jesus was the son of God, or an
imposter, he was a very smart man who
changed the world for the best.. The
Bible is an incredible book that adjusts
to the times without its meaning getting
too warped. The morality taught in the
Bible, mainly that taught by Jesus in the
flesh; is anything but arbitrary.
Great minds have believed in Christianity, and great minds (divine minds)
have shaped its morals and beliefs.
Arbitrary is not the word.
Yes, I have studied the Bible. In
depth? No, but I am still learning: I
would ·not consider myself an authOrIty
on the Bible; however, I do not believe
it is the essence of God. I believe God
will grant us the wisdom he does for a
reason, and as we must evolve, he will
also evolve us and the scripture that
guides us.
I say go for the cloning anyways. It's
far from creating life. It's just copying it.
Anybody can make a photocopy of the
Last Judgement, but the vision and the
execution must come from a master
(God). It takes more to create life from
clay. Keep that in mind. We are not God
now that we can clone.
I do think you shouldn't blindly follow the pope. It's naive to think he's the
ultimate authority. The Catholic church
is notorious for interpreting scripture
for its benefit. It comes down to reading
the scripture they are pointing to that
denies this, researching the passage and
interpreting it for yourself in it's context. You would be surprised at how
much of the English Bible of today is not
in some of the more repable Greek
manuscripts (which are very reliable).
Hey Jason, even though you piss me
off in your columns, I like them the
most. Keep writing - the other writers
don't strike the nerves you do. Striking
up nerves is good, because it brings
things to our attention. Encourage the
other writers to write about things other
than licking butt crack (recall Jackie
Fleishon's column, "How many licks does
it take?," Sept. 26).

Columnist misleads
America
This letter is in response to the column, "Columnist learns things from the
debates," by Benjamin Abel, printed on
Oct. 9.
Please get your facts straight. You are
misleading the people of America when
you say that, "Ralph Nader was p~e­
sen ted a ticket [to the presidential
debates] but chose not to attend." In
fact, what really happened was Ralph
Nader did have a ticket and he did try
to get inside but he was barred at the
door by three uniformed police officers.
He was told his presence was not want-
ed. The truth is, Ralph Nader was
excluded not because he was a threat or
because he would cause disruptionshe was excluded on political grounds.
The ticket Ralph Nader had wasn't
even for the actual room where "Gush"
and "Bore" were in like you implied in
your column. The ticket Nader had was
for a televised room that was separate
from the presidential debate auditorium.
What a travesty it is for the American
people to be denied the right to hear
from candidates that do not belong to
the Democratic or the Republican parties. It makes sense considering the
Commission on Presidential Debatesa private organization - is sponsored
by these same Democrats and Republicans and by corporations who buy
votes err ... I mean give money to causes they "support."

hear what Ralph Nader has to say.

In defending his Mandela vote,
Cheney invokes "communism." Mandela communist? Hardly
then or
now. Why does Cheney continue denigrating Nelson Mandela? Because Nelson Mandela is black! Cheney's stance
reassures and secures the votes of the
bigots and racists of the extreme right.
Cheney creates a buffer between the
extreme right and Bush. Thus, Bush
frees himself to appeal to tiscally conservative white middle class voters
who otherwise will not tolerate bigotry.
With Cheney, Bush gets the vote of the
extreme right and finesses the vote of
otherwise sensible, kind conservatives.
The vote of both groups is essential to
his campaign success.
Perhaps the effect of this plan is what
Bush means when he talks about "Soft
Bigotry!" Except, in whose cynicallexicon is bigotry ever "Soft?" The bigotry
of the Republican party is as masterfully pernicious and present today as it
was in 1988 when Bush-the-father

A quick look at last Saturday's college
football scores proves something coaches
have been saying since Harvard first beat
Yale: Anybody can beat anybody on any
given day.
How true is that? Ask any fan of Ohio
State or Kansas State. Both of those schools
were ranked in the top six by the Associated Press before last weekend.
They were. But not anymore. Both were·
beaten at home by more than a touchdown
Saturday. You know, I feel really bad about
~ titat K-State loss. Who would have thought
playing a good team would end up so
painful?
The point I'm trying to make is no team
is a sure thing ... except maybe South Carolina.
Wail a minute, South Carolina? The
Gamecocks, right? They still have a football
program?
Yes, they do. And it's a damn good one
too. Those of you who occasionally pick up
a newspaper know this. However, those of
you with little or no contact with the outside world probably still think of the Gamecocks as a bad team.
Well, not anymore. The biggest reason?
Lou. Holtz.Aiter'taking over the-reins of a
pathetic program last season, the man has
led South Carolina to the Promised Land.
After Saturday's win over conference foe
Arkansas, the 'Cocks are sitting at 6-1 and
are ranked No. 18 by the AP
To me, that's unbelievable. To see how
far South Carolina has come in one year is
too sappy for Hollywood. Just give Holtz
his Coach of the Universe award right now.
How bad was South Carolina before this
season?
As Bill Walton would say: Hooooorrrrrible!
Last year, the 'Cocks scored only five
touchdowns in their first 10 games. Prior to
this season, South Carolina had lost 21
straight contests, last tasting victory two
seasons prior against (interestingly
enough) Ball State. The 'Cocks also had lost
18 straight conference games and 13 consecutive on the road.
Because their team was inept for so long,
it's no wonder why South Carolina's fans
were chomping at the bit once it was
assured that the 'Cocks would break their
losing streak in this season's opener.
In fact, the natives were so restless, South
Carolina coaches had to help security
remove the fans from the field after they
stoaned it with 36 seconds remaining in the
Gamecocks' 31-0 pasting of New Mexico
State.
Ittcidentally, once the waning seconds
ticked away from that game, the scene
again was absolute pandemonium. A short
time later a group of students ran by security. guards at the front gate carrying a 20foot piece of goal post.
The post-game scene that followed a
week later was nearly a carbon copy of the
first. After South Carolina's 21-10 win over
Georgia, fans ripped down both goal pOsts
quicker than they did the first week.

Thirty-two players.

The women's tennis program hosted its annual SDSU
Fall Classic this weekend, and
gave home-court advantage a
new meaning in the process.
The Aztecs claimed all but one
of the 12 spots in the various
championship games Sunday,
dominating a field that included prominent teams such as
Oregon, UC Irvine, UC Santa
Barbara and cross-town rival
USD.
The tournament consisted of
six flights, or individual brackets, each with its own champion. Four singles flights
involved eight players each;
two singles flights each included either seven or eight pairings of players. The tournament ran Friday through Sunday.
SDSU placed nine players in
the four singles flights, and

and Oregon's Monika Gieczys.
Flight Bsaw two SDSU players,
junior Katey Becker and senior

also made the next round.
Aztecs freshman Silvia

SDSU freshman Erin Polowski

"Erin won the first set, then '

"We have a chance at winning the

The wheels have fallen off.
Nearly a month ago, San Diego
State was driving on four wheels.
Now, it looks like it may not have
any.
It had won three of four games
and already tied its win total of
four the previous year. It was
"playing collectively," as freshman Carlos Menjivar said. It was
getting the balanced scoring
attack.
But all of a sudden the Aztecs
find themselves in the midst of a
four-game losing streak, their
longest of the season. During that
span they have scored just four
times - which is lower than their
season average of 1.5 per game.
In addition, all four games,
two of them in conference, have
been lost in the waning moments.
The four opponents were Drury,
Louisville, CSU Fullerton and
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. SDSU
lost in the 88th, 84th, 70th and
92nd minutes, respectively.
"It's been disappointing," said
forward Mike Klotovich. "We're
always there, but in the end we're
just not getting over that hump.
"The little extra just isn't there."
- Klotovich on SDSU's
chances of competing better in
conference
Said sophomore Ryan
Ivkovich: "We're doing everything right. We're just not coming
through in crunch time and coming up with the wins."
The Aztecs are also going into
each game with a small number
of upperclassmen as their
starters. Seniors Ralph Dartt,
Matt Williams and Brett Lasby
are the only upperclassmen to
start at least nine of SDSU's 13
games this year.
So, essentially, the Aztecs are
starting eight underclassmen
each game.
"We're still a young team,"
Ivkovich said. "But we're ready
to take it on. We can play with the
best, we just need to tighten it
up."
SDSU remains on the road this
week as it' plays conference foes
CSU Northridge Friday and
UCSB Sunday. The Aztecs have
already played CSUN this season
and won 2-1 at the SDSU Sports

When a team finishes second and third
in back-to-back tournaments, it's for real.
When a team like San Diego State wins
its first title in three tries, it becomes a
threat to look out for in the collegiate golf
world.
Jo Clingan won the Heather Fall
Memorial tournament with a four-under
par 140, and freshman Sandy Kim was
tied for third with a six-over 150. It was
the first win for the team since 1998, when
it won the SDSU Fall Classic.
"We felt really good winning thY>
thing," Kim said. "I was able to contribute
to our team winning, which felt great."
The Aztecs sealed up first place at the
Heather Fall Memorial, overcoming a sixstroke comeback by Colorado to win by
three strokes. SDSU shot a tournamentbest 299 in the first round last Tuesday for
the victory.
Mayumi Motoyama and Erin Kerr
were the other top finishers for Colorado,
finishing second and tied for third,
respectively.
"We had a big lead toward the end,"
said head coach Diana Falar. "If we didn't
lead much, they would've caught us. We
had a discussion for a good start, and it
paid off."
It paid off because the Aztecs never
trailed in the tournament. The team led
after the first round and Falar said her
team hnproved its mental sharpness.
"We had a mental alertness with a better start," Falar said. "In a 36-hole tournament, we couldn't fall behind and
expect to win."
Team captain Jo Clingan shot a 140,
leading all individual scorers. Clingan
won her first individual tiUe this fall. She
said great iron play and solid all-around
play contributed most to victory.
Clingan's first-round 69 shattered the
course record at Broomfield and also

broke an Aztecs record for the lowest 18hole score.
"Everything's fallen together for me,"
Clingan said. "My 6 to 9-irons and
wedges improved most, plus I didn't
miss any fairways or greens."

Clingan's performance occurred
despite playing with a pinched nerve in
her back, suffered in the team's last tournament. Also hindered were Heather
Rollo (flu), and Asa Jankler (wrist).
"Wedid what we could to get our players over their injuries," Falar said. 'The
weather in Colorado cooperated with us,
so things went O}( overalL"
Sandy Kim helped SDSU win while
tying for third, shooting a 150. Sophomore Claire Riley played well in her first
tournament, tying teammate Shayna
Miyajima for 22nd. Riley is another bright
young golfer, who, along with Kim and
Miyajima, scored a sweet debut.
Kim has been among the most consistent golfers this season, with two top-IS
finishes, including this one.
"We had a real good feeling we were
going to win," Kim said. "I focused better, my irons improved and the greens
were in good shape."
Kim shot four birdies and chalked up
several pars in Colorado.
"The course was in awesome shape,
and I shot much straighter," Kim said.
Another golfer who has done well for
the first time this year is Riley.
Falar said players like Riley are another reason the program has a bright future.
"Claire was an anchor for us," Falar
said. "She had a good tournament, and
it'll be fun to watch her, Sandy and our
other younger golfers grow and play
even better this year."
Depth has been a key strength for
SDSU, as five players have placed in the
top 20 in competition at least once.
"We've got the talent and potential to
become NCAA champions," Clingan
said. "It's well within our reach, and
we're finally reaping the rewards.
"We have at least seven players who
can play well enough at any given
moment to contendl9r tI:te top five spots.
That'll help us iIi the near future."

Tornier and Chidley in Flight C. Again,
the only SDSU loss was at the hands of
Nagle, who defeated Avendano in her
Flight D semifinal match, to advance to
the championship against the also-victorious Akerbrant.
That set up four championship matches on Sunday, three of which would pit
Aztec against Aztec.
"It's hard playing your teammates,"
Becker said. "Obviously, everybody
wants to win and we want to play well,
but it's hard to get motivated to really
compete."
In Flight A, Hedberg played very well
in defeating Karrento in straight sets, 6-2,
6-1. Beckerled Wells 6-3, 3-2 in the second
set of the Flight B final when Becker
sprained her right ankle attempting to
return a shot. The match was suspended.
Tornier continued her excellent play,
beating Chidley 6-3, 6-2.
Nagle was victorious over Akerbrant
in the Flight D championship, winning
easily, 6-0, 6-1. Nagle was the only nonSDSU player to beat an Aztec in the tournament. Also in Flight D, Avendano
defeated Pyne for third place and
Polowski claimed fifth place with a
straight-set triumph over USD's Anne
Seppi.
In doubles, all four SDSU teams
advanced to Saturday's semifinals, as did
the mixed-school team of Avendano and
Seppi. Karrento and Wells teamed up
and advanced to the Flight A final, where
they faced Hedberg and Tornier; Becker
and Polowski earned a spot in the championship match in Flight B, as did Chidley and Akerbrant. The latter duo defeated Avendano and Seppi to reach the final.
Tornier continued to impress as she

Both suspended matches, the singles and

And now it's happening at South Carolina.
What's also impressive about the Gamecocks
this season is that they've beat quality people.
Unlike Kansas State, who I think plays Mexico

Their only loss came at the hands of Alabama,
who was ranked No.3 by AP at the outset of the

San Diego has spawned a great many
talents in recent years - Jewel, Buck-ONine, Blink-182 and Sprung Monkey artists who have broken through
anonymity, and solidified a name for
themselves on a national level.
But for everyone of those who have
assimilated into the mainstream there are
a handful whose talents go unheralded.
The San Diego Music Awards, now in
its 10th year, recognizes those unsung
heroes, those whose music continually
redefines the San Diego music scene,
making it more a mecca of a broad catalog of impressive talent.

Are campus directors
always fair when it comes
to deciding. who is cast?
By IRENE YADAO
Tempo Editor
he Don Powell Theatre is hardly Broadway - there are no extravagant backdrops, no elaborate marquees from
which prominent names are announced.
But it's a theater nonetheless, and it is here
where, year after year, the dreams of San
Diego State University theater students are
either made or broken, where skills are showcased and tested in numerous stage productions.
It is also here where: during the first week
of each semester, the general audition is held.
Through this process, directors of the main
productions, as welLas student film directors
and directors of One Act performances, begin
casting for their forthcoming season.
It seems relatively simple; talent is, after
all, something that isn't difficult to spot. But
for both the directors and actors involved,
'picking out the cream of the crop is a rather
delicate and complex task, one that often
results in broken egos and broken dreams.
So who makes the cut? How do directors
decide who snags the coveted role and who
gets tossed back into the bin? And in distinguishing among several potential actors,
does talent always take precedence above all?
Or does it become, as has happened in Hollywood, a popularity contest?
"It's a sore point," said Peter Larlham, a
drama professor and director of the department's production of "Lysistrata," which
opens Friday. "The reality is our business is a
tough one. It's hard for those who don't get
the roles they want to not get disillusioned or
dismayed. But while they may feel overlooked and angry, you have to try to do what
you feel is right for the production."
For Professor Michael Harvey, one of the
department's three main production directors, doing what is right for the production
means taking two things into consideration:
talent and compatibility.
"The student needs to convince me that he
or she has the capability as an actor to convince the audience that they can be that person (they're pertraying)," Harvey said.
"U~der that category are vocal skills, physical skills, imagination, creativity and a
sense of being able to reach out and encompass the experiences that the character on
""""",.",,_' the page seems to suggest."
The actor's work ethic is equally
important, Harvey said. Is the actor self-disciplined, mature and supportive? More

surprise upon first listening to the band's
new album, Warning.
.
The new album marks a distinct change in
Green Day's established style. With Warning, the
East Bay band made famous on the meri t of short,
catchy pop-punk gems has produced an album
that is decidedly not punk.
The different flavor of the album should come
as no surprise to those who have been tracking
the band's career for a long time, and the change
seems very organic.
Warning is a step further in the direction away
from their earlier recordings, a journey that started with Insomniac and continued with Nimrod. In
fact, if it weren't for Billie Joe Armstrong's distinctive vocals, the casual listener could almost
mistake them for a different band than the one
that made KerpIunk.
To say that Warning is different from Green
Day's earlier outings is not to say that it is a bad
album, which it certainly isn't. Nor does it indicate that the changes Green Day has undergone
are a rejection of their roots, though the band has
faced more accusations of being sellouts with
each subsequent release.
Rather, the changes are organic, and evidence
that the band has matured, musically and otherwise, over the years (not surprising
L
considering the fact that they were teenagers
until the release of Dookie).
The album is definitely one that demands to be
played straight through, and often, as it seems to
grow on you with repeated listening. My personal favorite tracks are "Blood, Sex and Booze,"
with its driving, chunky bass
line, and "Misery," which is musically reminiscent of The Doors' "Whiskey Bar," with a bit of
flamenco flavor to it. (Told you it wasn't very
punk rock.)
While most of the tracks would probably seem
a little out of place on earlier albums, "Minority"
is a nice throw back to Green Day's older material.
Perhaps the best track on the album is the lyrical "Church on Sunday" featuring the beautiful
refrain "If I promise to go to church on Sunday /will you go out with me on Friday night? /
If you live with me, I'll die for you in this compromise," which echoes the sentiments of some
of the band's earlier love songs.
Though not as catchy as earlier efforts, Warning is a great album, and leaps and bounds above
a lot of music coming out today. From the opening chords of the radio-friendly title track to the
closing of "Macy's Day
Parade," Green Day has a winner in Warning.

material and B-sides that continue the experimental landscape of 1998's Bring It On and
last year's Liquid Skin. The
songs included in Hotline showcase Gomez's taste for delta
blues and stoney pop, heard in
the layered acoustics of "Flavors," sprawling harmonies of
"Bring Your Lovin' Back Here"
he Wilson sisters have been ridiculed throughout
their career for a number of insignificant things,
primarily singer/songwriter Ann's weight gain over
the years.
It is as if the buxom beauties were expeCted to
remain frozen in time, thin and young forever.
What many seem to bypass is the fact that they
changed the face of rock. Heart, the band the two sisters fronted for three decades, created music that
knocked down the preconceptions of what women are
supposed to be like, and what women are capable of
doing with a guitar. Their sound, which successfully
blended acoustic and electric guitars, was brilliantly
punctuated by Ann's raging vocals.
Heart's Greatest Hits album, which was released in
1997, includes songs from albums dating back to the
'70s and '80s. It opens with the spanish- guitar tinged
"Crazy On You" from their first album, Dreamboat
Annie, which also spawned the psychedelic Top 10 hit
"Magic Man."
-Marc Cuenca
Black Eyed Peas
Bridgfng tile Gap
Though many can remember
being forced to eat black-eyed
pea soup as children, this is one
pea that has yet to be forced
down any throat or ear for this
matter. Since their emergence in
1998 with Behind The Front, the
Black Eyed Peas are fast becoming a powerhouse in the ever-so
shifting world of hip-hop. In
fact, though they're certainly
not of a new breed (for the likes
of De La Soul, Jurassic 5, A Tribe
Called Quest and the Roots all
share this territory), they bring a
refreshing element to .the
always fashionable sex-andviolence state of hip-hop. And
with their sophomore effort,
Bridging The Gap, the Black Eyed
Peas, along with the help of
some other veritable forces
(Macy Gray, Mos Def, Les
nashbac:k Favorites
T
and a soulful live BBC se~sion of
"78 Stone Shuffle." On the
album's recognizable track, the
Phillips Electronics jingle "Getting Better," Gomez swirls a
percolating groove and resurrect a Lennon/McCartney classic. To sweeten the deal, the first
50,000 copies of Hotline contain
Mqchismo EP, a five-song disc
recorded at Peter Gabriel's Realworld studio.
Then there are their '80s anthems - the ethereal
"These Dreams," sung by Nancy, the angry "If Looks
Could Kill" and "Never," from their self-titled 1985
release, Going straight to No.1, it sold more than 5 million copies and earned Heart the first of four Grammy
nominations.
Another highlight is the inclusion of a bluesy acoustic version of "Straight On," taken from their acoustic
live CD, The Road Home. One of their signature songs
(arguably one of the greatest songs of all time) "Barracuda" is also taken from a live album, Rock The House
Live.
The one thing that has remained constant throughout the making of each album, as captured on this com.
pilation, is their ability to rock. This album will take
you back and is a must have for anyone who appreciates good old'rock 'n' Roll.

Nubians, Esthero, among others), continue to thrive off a cultural awareness and musical
diversity less available with
their more heavyweight-type
peers. As with Behind the Front,
in Bridging the Gap, BEP employ
elements of soul, funk, latin and
acid jazz. Standout tracks
include "Cali to New York" and
"On My Own."

Authors latest release makes social commentary
By SAIDY URIBE
Tempo Writer
Waiting can be a drag.
The kind of waiting that finds you in
line a t the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Or on the phone with the insurance company.
Or waiting to be rescued at sea, looking for that life raft, your life flashing
before your eyes. Which is exactly what
happens to the character of Monsieur
Eliot in Tom Paine's "Scar Vegas," a collection of 10 enthralling and compelling
short stories.
The story of Monsieur Eliot is one of a
transformation from a man who has
everything· to one who suddenly finds
himself lost at sea without his cushy luxuries.
"Monsieur Eliot," like many of the
other stories in "Scar Vegas," illustrates
Paine's penchant for pushing the envelope of political and social commentary.
Paine discusses issues SOCiety often
brushes under the table, such as homosexuality, cross-dressing and the elitist
mindset of America's privileged and
wealthy.
In "General Markman's Last Stand,"
Paine challenges the conventions of masculinity, centering in on a general in the
U.s. Marine Corps-a burly man whois
of the captivating type of ruggedness
that commands attention - who happens to have a fetish for women's lingerie. (In fact, he parades around his
office in matching bra and panty sets.)
Paine paints pictures clearly with
words, oftentimes utilizing Kafkaesque
undertones and an eroticism that transforms the text intoa film noirof the mind.
His writing is a conductor for the nervous system, bringing the five senses to
activity and eventually evoking a
response.
Paine does so by provoking images of
a world where the unexpected is the
norm and nothing is as it appears. He
makes the reader realize truth is a matter
of perception, tha t an image tha t has been
accepted can be shattered when another
takes precedence.
"Scar Vegas" makes for a wonderful
addition to any coffee table collection. It
could even be the focal point of some
wine drinking evenings.
Challenge your paradigm and see
how Paine makes you feel.

importantly, can he or she get
along with both the cast and the
director?
"Every 'once in a while you run
into someone who seems to be
extraordinarily talented," Harvey
said, "but there's something that
makes you shy away from them.
Either they do not relate well,
don't communicate well or there's
something that suggests bad work
habits."
Sometimes, they're cast anyway.
.
And sometimes, Harvey said,
"you wish you hadn't (cast
them}."
.
Both Harvey and Larlham said
in choosing between a brand new
actor and one who has been here
for a number of years, familiarity
can sometimes playa role.
"If an actor finds himself up
against an actor who has had a lot
of experience and a lot of training," Harvey said, "the probability is that the one who has mo~e
experience is going to. show ~elr
skills better. All thmgs bemg
equal, we will try to get the better
person the part.
"That's not to say people are not
shutout."
Ultimately, there's got to be a
something that sets you apart.
"Acting is an elusive thing,"
Larlham said, '1t is intuitive and it
comes as a package - You either
have it· or you don't. And as
painful as it can be, you must be
realistic about where you stand."
Still, it is in not taking that risk
with potential talents that a.nother
risk arises - that of continually
casting the same faces and excluding actors who may not ~d other
valid avenues through which they
can stretch their muscles.
"Nobody wants to cast a fresh
face," said theater senior Jessie
Coon. "I can understand that.
Directors may not be sure what
they're like, whether they'll bail
out on them or not show up for
rehearsals. It's happened before.
"So I do see the logic in sometimes casting the same people over
and over again. I also think it's
because when they see potential in
people, when they see that they:re
going somewhere and they re
good, they want to give them as
much practice as possible."
But for those who. aren't making
the cut and who aren't given the
chances, it can admittedly be discouraging.
"I was one of those people at
one point," said Coon, who plays
a chorus members in "Lysistrata."
"So I can understand. But you just

have to wait it out, and you have
to prove yourself. It's kind of the
only way to do it."
Coon suggests creating a rapport with the directors.
'1t takes time," she said, '1 used
to think, 'Oh, I'm going to impress
them with my first general audition,' but that's not really the way
it is.
'They need to see what you're
like."
Other students aren't as understanding as Coon, however.
'The people who are cast are
very talented," said theater senior
Kelly Andrews, who is currently
working on costuming for "Lysistrata." "But I also think that there
are other people who are just as
talented, but who maybe don't
know the directors on a personal
level.
"In that case, the director will go
with the actor they know, even
though they may not have anything against this other actor or
have a reason to believe they
wouldn't have a good work ethic.
"I know a lot of people who
stopped auditioning because they
kind of felt it had ruined their
morale regarding their profes. "
slons.
Larlham said that while there
may appear .to be favoritism, it's
one thing they try to fight against.
He said he tries to cast as diversely as possible and to seek out plays
and vehicles that allow them to do
this. "Lysistrata," for example,
allowed Larlham to cast 35 actors,
most of whom have never been in
a large-scale production. Last season's 'The Skriker" called for an
equally large cast.
"It's an elemental process,"
Harvey said. "By doing this, actors
will get better so that by the next
audition, they will be able to compete effectively with other people.
. We try to give a lot of people the
opportunity to develop those
skills."
In addition to choosing main
productions that would require
large casts, Harvey said tt:'ey provide several layers of activity for
actors to do in order to become better for the next audition. Among
other things, there are a series of
one act productions, there are
scenes which are performed
specifically for directing ~lasses
and there are portfolio presentations.
"One of the nice things is that
virtually everything students do is
seen by faculty," Harvey sai.d.
"The simplest way to become VISible as far as the faculty is concerned is to participate in the general auditions."
