San Jose State looks to tighten local admission BRYCE DRUZIN NEWS EDITOR

Foothill Community College’s 53 year-old student-run radio station KFJC 89.7 FM was named “Best Community College Radio Station” in the U.S. by the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System March 3 at its 2012 Student Radio Awards in New York City. In addition to the two award nominations for the station’s public affairs show Thoughtline and promotion of its Psychotronix Film Festival, KFJC also took home the award for “Best Fundraising/ Underwriting Campaign” for its fundraising and production work. According to a press release by KFJC, “KFJC’s award winning entries are indicative of the hard work and creativity of its all-volunteer and student staff.” KFJC publicity manager Jennifer Waits said that during the 2011 fundraiser, more than 150 different fundraiser spots were created by KFJC disc

jockeys and that “KFJC strives to have a creative, listenable on-air fundraiser,” she said. Waits added it was unfortunate that none of the students or staff were able to attend the awards ceremony. The mastermind behind the award winning spot was DJ Cadillac Margarita, aka Margaret Purdy, who’s fundraising spot played with the homophone “beet.” “I was sitting at home, and I really like beets, the vegetables – love ‘em. I was looking at an encyclopedia of stains and, for whatever reason, I looked at beets,” Purdy said. “I was like, ‘beet stains – music beats. OK, I’m going to run with this.’ I played some music, put on a semi-pretentious sounding accent and read the definition of what a beet is.” KFJC was also a finalist for IBS’s Abraham & Borst Award for Best Overall Radio Station in the nation. The station competed in a field comprised of both community and four-year colleges and universities.

“I love KFJC and have always been proud of the station and my fellow DJs,” Waits said. “I’m happy that we received this award and believe that it’s well-deserved recognition for all the hard work done by KFJC students and volunteers.” The award nominated special edition of Thoughtline aired Dec. 26, 2011. Special edition host Ken Patterson said the special was a “magazine style” show. It included segments on the Museum of American Heritage’s Lego exhibit and an interview with voice actor Ryan Drummond, the voice of video game character Sonic the Hedgehog, about his work in a new Star Wars game. Also included was audio from old Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood episodes. Patterson said Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood was a “nice way to end the year.” “I felt that this was a good candidate to be submitted for the ward,” Patterson said. “It also had a good mix of participants, and showcased previous entries that were still timely.” |See KFJC : Page 4|

Vietnam and Taiwan summer study abroad destinations BRYCE DRUZIN

NEWS EDITOR

De Anza College students will have the opportunity to study abroad in Taiwan and Vietnam this summer. Director of De Anza Global Education Partnerships John Swensson has been with previous study programs to Vietnam and has visited Taiwan as well. “This is the best teaching and the best learning that you ever do,” said Swensson, who helped found the Vietnam program that has run since 1998. He stressed that culture is always a focus of the trips. “You’re not spending eight hours a day in the classroom,” he said. English instructor Karen Chow will be an instructor for the Vietnam program, which will start on July 3 with classes at De Anza for two weeks before heading to Vietnam, where students will be from July 21 until Aug. 12. The program will start in Hanoi and make its way down south to Saigon, visiting attractions such as the old imperial city of Hue. The program is open to

all students, who will be able to earn up to 10 units of credit in EWRT, ELIT, or SOC. Students will meet up with former De Anza sociology instructor Vu-Duc Vuong, who now lives and teaches in Hanoi. “Professor Vuong has a lot of connections in Vietnam,” Chow said, “so we’re going to have plenty of opportunities to interact with locals, and perhaps even students.” Chow said course content will include Vietnamese and Vietnamese-American literature. While course content is still being finalized, she believes Vuong will focus his teaching on sociology related to Vietnam. The trip to Taiwan is being headed by Li Wie Sun, a Child Development and Education faculty member and Taiwan native. This will be the first time De Anza sends students to Taiwan. Students will be able to earn seven units applicable towards the child development program. Students will visit 12 child care programs. For part of the trip, De Anza’s sister college Hung Kuang University, a fouryear school, will host students. Sun also looks forward

to visiting the Waldorf School, which she said is very well regarded throughout Asia. Sun said any country’s education system is influenced by their unique culture, and students going on the trip will have an opportunity to see this. “To see the cultural influence in education … that’s what I’m hoping for them to learn,” said Sun. Highlights of the program will include a visit to a 37-story Buddhist temple in Puli that houses 1,200 monks and nuns. The Vietnam program will cost $3,800, while the Taiwan trip will cost $3,500. Both prices include plane tickets, lodging, food and transportation within the countries. Both require $500 deposits, which the programs encourage students to make as soon as possible. Financial aid is available for both. For information about the Vietnam and Taiwan programs, contact Karen Chow at chowkaren@deanza. edu and Li Wie Sun at sunliwei@deanza.edu.

LAVOZWEEKLY

Representatives from San Jose State University will hold a public hearing at Foothill College on Wednesday, March 21 to discuss a proposal to raise admissions standards for local high school graduates and transfer students. The changes would take place for students applying for fall of 2013. “We’re doing this not because we want to, but because we have to,” said Pat Harris Lopes, media relations director for San Jose State, citing state budget cuts as the reason for needing to limit enrollment. San Jose State currently has a policy of allowing local students automatic admission should they meet minimum requirements for the California State University system. Non-local students are required to meet higher standards. According to a press release, the proposed change “replaces SJSU’s longstanding ‘local area guarantee’ at the CSU minimum eligibility level with a ‘local preference’ for admission of applicants from the local service area.” According to De Anza’s website, 984 students transferred to San Jose State in 2010-11, by far representing the largest number of any school. The second most transferred to school was San Francisco State with 199. De Anza transfer counselor Trish Rios Gibson said that because of the number of students that go to San Jose State, any changes in admissions would have an impact. San Jose State briefly considered changing their admissions policy for this fall before reversing course. “We were pleasantly relieved it didn’t change (for 2012-13),” Rios Gibson said. Foothill transfer center coordinator Maureen Chenoweth sympathized with San Jose State’s proposed changes, saying they’re forced by budget cuts. She said that changes to admissions have already been significant. Four years ago students could apply to SJSU with a 2.0 GPA and apply as late May and be virtually guaranteed admission. |See SJSU : Page 4| Public hearing schedule for pro­ posed SJSU admission changes Mon., March 19, noon­2 p.m. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library Room 225/229 150 East San Fernando St. San Jose, California 95112 Wed., March 21, 12:15­2 p.m. Foothill College Appreciation Hall (Room 1500) 12345 El Monte Road Los Altos Hills, California 94022 Thurs., March 22, 7­8:30 p.m. East Side Union High School District Board Room 830 N.

Author highlights Latino “creative advantage” NEWS EDITOR

“I was not raised to be a perfect anything,” author Graciela Tiscareño-Sato told a room of Foothill College students, responding to a question on where she and the other !"#$%&'(%#)(*)(%(+),'*)&-'.(/'$%'0()' book gained their willingness to take risks. “The commonality is a childhood where they were allowed to try things and think and not be so afraid of how it looks,” she said. “The opposite of that is parents who shelter their kids.” Tiscareño-Sato was invited as part of Foothill’s Authors Series to speak on March 13 about her book “Latinnovating: Green American Jobs and the Latinos Creating Them,” which highlights 10 Latino environmental entrepreneurs. Around 25 students, mostly from Scott Lankford’s English 1A honors class, gathered in the Hearthside Lounge in the campus center to listen. “What I really liked … was the importance of giving yourself permission to be creative and to fail,” theater major Jaime Tuttle said. Before showing a slide illustrating how used socks could be repurposed to create dresses for Barbie dolls, Tiscareño-Sato pointed out a simi.")$#1'#0('*(&*.(',0('*)&-'.(/',0")(/2 “They were taught to reuse, they were taught to conserve,” she said. “They were taught to think of the second and third life to give food and objects.” Tiscareño-Sato said having discretionary income does not need

to lead to a change in behavior. A culture of reusing items is not only fun for children, but gives a creative foundation that can be used as an adult. She credited things like being allowed to draw on drywall in the basement and making mud bricks with siblings as providing a “foundation that gave me permission as an adult to create.” She gave an example from her book of Humberto Rincon, a mechanical engineer who grew up in a migrant camp with eight siblings. He used bottle caps to make toy badges and whistles.

Let’s look at the child holisti­ cally ... and let’s see the creative advantage.

Another example from her book is Sandra Artalejo, a Dallas-based fashion designer. Growing up, she saw her grandparents turn coffee cans into footrests and aluminum cans into decorations for the garden. When she started her career in fashion, she was disturbed by how the industry discarded so much unused fabric. Now Artalejo uses wine boxes, chip bags, aluminum cans and other “garbage” to create purses, headbands and other products. Tiscareño-Sato also emphasized the importance of mentors in her and the other entrepreneurs’ decisions to go to college. She said she was not expected to

go to college by her family, but a counselor encouraged her and told her how the Air Force paid for her husband’s college expenses. Tiscareño-Sato enrolled in the Air Force ROTC and went to UC Berkeley. After graduating, she was com3$,,$&%(/' ",' "' 3$.$#")1' &4-'5()' "%/' served for over nine years, including time as a navigator aboard KC-135 refueling jets. “I think that all college students … can take a few minutes out of their lives and mentor,” she said in an interview the day after her talk. “Bring their neighbor kid to an event on the campus — that’s mentoring.” Tiscareño-Sato also gave practical career advice, including a simple tip for aspiring writers. “Just start writing,” she said. “There is no someday.” She stressed the importance to “kick the editor out of the room” 60(%' -'),#' 7(##$%7' $/(",' /&6%' &%' paper and not to try to be perfect initially. “It kills the creative process,” she said. “Just write, just get it out.” Tiscareño-Sato talked of the importance of networking, telling students that they should reach out to people within their own ethnicity, gender and professions, while not allowing themselves to be restricted to any particular group. Students should also mention the networks they are part of when interviewing for jobs, she said. Scott Madera appreciated the overall message Tiscareño-Sato brought. “I liked her actually just talking about getting out there and doing

stuff instead of waiting for something to happen,” said Madera, a 19-year-old computer science major. Tiscareño-Sato talked about overhauling the image of Latinos. She said there were more than 3 million Latino-owned businesses in the United States, but that image of the community doesn’t make it into the press. She said she wanted to “reposition” how Latinos are viewed by the public. “I’m out to rebrand the word ‘Latino,’” she said. Too often, Latino kids are only seen as socio-economically disadvantaged, and the advantages their upbringing offers, such as she wrote about in her book, are not recognized, she said. “What I’m trying to say is let’s look at the child holistically,” she said. “Let’s look at these examples that you know about, and let’s see the creative advantage.” Contact BRYCE DRUZIN at lavoz@fhda.edu

Presently, she said students must apply by Nov. 30 and no lower division or mid-year transfers are allowed. Chenoweth said budget cuts at San Jose State have had repercussions beyond the number of students they can admit. She said their office of outreach has been cut. “We used to have San Jose State come every month,” she said. “Now I’m lucky if I get them once a quarter.” Chenoweth said students should have the option to go to a local school and bemoaned lack of funding for higher education. She said students may choose to go out of state, saying “it’s almost like a brain drain.” “What do you do when you get that internship and you establish a working relationship in an area?” she said. “Are you going to go “sorry, I’m going to back to California where I live,” they’re not going to do it, and that’s what the voters don’t seem to realize, it’s having a serious negative impact on the state economy.” Contact BRYCE DRUZIN at lavoz@fhda.edu

Ike’s Lair provides students with a new love affair

BRENDA NORRIE STAFF WRITER

It’s not your ordinary Subway sandwich. And it’s also a walk from campus, adjacent to Panda Express. Ike’s Lair is a new popular “non-sandwich” shop but they still do sell sandwiches. They boast top-dollar gourmet sandwiches for De Anza College students who are hungry between the hours of 11a.m. to 7p.m. The shop has a liberal feel to it, so one can detox their mind of busy schoolwork and relax with the quirky signs, loud yellow walls, and a caricature head of founder, Ike Shehadeh, wearing a military-inspired beanie. They even have stickers in four window panels with De Anza College’s name in the middle of what looks like an “all star” logo... hint, hint (they want to cater to us!). Their sandwiches run from $5-10 depending on the size you get, but if you want a drink as well, add a couple more to that (they have anything from bottled water to unique bottled sodas priced from $1-2.50). You also have veggie, meat and vegan options, as well as gluten-free bread. It comes with a tasty and unique “dirty sauce” that reminds me of a mixture of dijon mustard and ranch – very savory and flavorful. All their sandwiches not only come with that dirty sauce, but a sassy name to go with it. I had a basic miniature sandwich called “Mayoose’s BLT.” Oddly I picked that even though I’m not a bacon fan, and I actually enjoyed it so much I didn’t pick out the ba-

con or ask to knock it off! If you feel like dessert, well, you can purchase hoho-like treats in a variety of flavors like red velvet, peanut butter and cream, and pop-tart snacks, and an oreo sandwich with cream in the middle all individually wrapped goods from Cake Monkey Bakery. And as an FYI from one of the employees, there’s even a secret menu one can find online. Also, if they don’t have one on the menu that is at their other locations, you just let them know the ingredients inside the sandwich, and all is good. So far, the spot is a huge hit with students, and you can tell by the multitude of employees that they’re expecting a shop full of starving students. It’s a fun atmosphere for them too - you might even hear someone yell “Womanizer coming down, vegan, extra dirty.” There’s only a few of these shops around the Bay Area, but Ike’s Lair proves it has flair having won numerous awards including “Best of Yelp,” “San Francisco Chronicle,” “San Francisco Weekly,” “Best of the Bay,” and featured on Travel Channel’s “Man v. Food.” So what say ye? I would dine once in awhile, as the price isn’t for everybody, but it is a very delicious treat after a test or hard quarter! Contact BRENDA NORRIE at lavoz@fhda.edu

SUNBURNED ­ One of many artistic sunburned pictures by Chris McCaw.

Photographer Chris McCaw, at De Anza College BRIAN ROSE FREELANCER

“I love the simplicity. It has caused me to rethink photography just working with silhouettes,” said photographer Chris McCaw during the lecture he gave as part of the De Anza Photography lecture series. McCaw showed one of kind images from his Sunburn project and explained how the images were made on March 7. Chris McCaw is a De Anza alumnus. He discovered photography as a teenager and taught himself how to take images of his friends skateboarding and the punk rock music scene. McCaw attended De Anza from 1990-93 and praised De Anza’s photography department. He tells friends “I learned everything I needed to know at De Anza.” After De Anza he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography from the San Francisco Academy of Arts in 1995. Among the galleries that have shown McCaw’s work are the Stephen Wirtz Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Phoenix Art Museum. McCaw started with his early work. In college McCaw and his friends would go on photographic safaris throughout the southwest taking pictures. He spent a lot of time making infrared images. The infrared images he showed had a ghostly, otherworldly quality to them. The heart of McCaw’s lecture is the images he has created for the Sunburn project. McCaw started making the images by accident. In 2003 he was making large format images for direct contact printing. He set his camera up to capture the movement of stars. He planned on closing the aperture before sunrise but overslept. All he thought he had was a ruined !"#$#%&'%(%)*+%,-.%)"/#%!0&.&123!0#24% #5#2670#2#% 0#% 8#5#)&!#8% .0#% (%)*% and discovered the sun had solarized the negative and burned a path of its movement into the image. Solarization causes the negative to become positive; when printed the image comes out as a negative. Intrigued, McCaw experimented for several years with the burned images. He started using old photo-

graphic paper and exposed it to direct sunlight to capture one of a kind images. McCaw wanted to make the sun bigger so he used telephoto lenses. Through research he found lenses used in aerial reconnaissance had the correct aperture for his work. The reconnaissance lens focuses the sun and causes paper to burn vigorously. McCaw uses large format cameras 7".0% 9#))&74% .03.% $3:% #;.#:8% .&% (%5#% feet. The do-it-yourself spirit from his youth serves him well. You cannot buy a 17x24 camera off the shelf so he makes them himself. And among the features a regular camera doesn’t have is brakes and method for letting oxygen in the bellows. McCaw thinks nothing of spending all day at the shore to capture an image. With long exposures you also capture the changing of the weather in the image. McCaw said you have to take into account the weather might not cooperate and you could spend three weeks in Alaska waiting for a clear day. The focusing of the sun causes the paper to burn while it is exposed. The burn path created is an integral part of the image. The burning of the gelatin in the paper imparts frequently leaves orange burn marks in the paper. McCaw uses a wide variety of photographic paper in making his images. Each paper reacts differently when exposed to the sun, helping to create a unique image. He is always on the hunt for old photographic paper and constantly experiments to see what it will do. McCaw likes the hands-on feeling in making his images, “It’s something you can’t do in digital,” he said. McCaw concluded the lecture with images of the midnight sun he took on the Alaska North Slope in 2011. <0#% (%:3)% "*31#% 734% 3% =>?@8#12##% image of the midnight sun over 24 hours.

Recommended Music 1. Baroque classical music is said to have mind-boosting effects. Productivity writer David Allen of “Getting Things Done” has said he prefers music like Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons,” Bach’s Brandenburg “Concerto #3,” and other Baroque tunes. 2. Others say that music at 60 beats-per-minute is required to put the brain in a “bright and breezy” frame of mind. In this state your thinking and creativity are said to be heightend. Concertos for Recorder – Telemann & Vivaldi is recommended. 3. If classical music is not your thing, there are other types of music that have been shown to increase your concentration levels. Ambient music or sound is designed to keep your brain engaged at a lower, subconscious level. Waterfalls, rain, seashore - whatever your taste.

Breathing exercises for healthy living

ALICIA RIVERA STAFF WRITER

At times of emotional stress, our bodies respond with increased heart rate, perspiration, tense muscles and a speedy breath. After experiencing this process over many years, physical health becomes imbalanced. This can lead to high blood pressure, muscle pain, and inflammation, among other physical health issues. Breathing exercises can be used to directly fight these stressful moments. Below are exercises retrieved from the American Medical Student Association. Abdominal breathing can increase stamina for athletic activity and fight disease. -Place one hand on your chest and one on your abdomen. As you breathe in deeply, the hand on the abdomen should lift higher than the one on the chest. This will pull air into the base of your lungs. -Exhale through the mouth. Then take a slow deep breath in through your nose as if you are inhaling in all the air surrounding you. Hold this for no longer than seven seconds. -Exhale slowly from the mouth for eight seconds. Contract your abdominals gently to vacate any remaining air in the lungs. By com-

pletely exhaling air, respirations are deepened. -Repeat the cycle four more times at a rate of one breath every 10 seconds or 6 breaths per minute. At this rate the heart rate variability increases, a benefit to cardiac health. Stimulating breath exercises for energy boost -Sit up with your spine straight. -With mouth closed softly, breath in and out of your nose as quickly as possible. One breath cycle, an inhale and exhale, will occur two to three times per second. -During the exercise there will be pressure felt at the base of the neck, chest and abdomen. The muscles in these areas are increasing in strength. -Do this for no longer than 15 minutes as a beginner. The length may be increased by five seconds with continued practice. Do this exercise only within your comfort, and no longer than one whole minute. -If practiced too much as a beginning learner there is risk for hyperventilation and loss of consciousness. Be sure to practice this exercise on a bed or chair. Contact ALICIA RIVERA at lavoz@fhda.edu

(when you don’t have a sparring partner handy)

GREG ANDERSON MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

In martial arts and self-defense, the best defense against attackers comes down to the experience you get from sparring with a partner, forcing quick thoughts and reactions you would need in a combat situation. Having this paired with a vast catalog of the techniques from various styles can become a powerful and adaptable “lack of form” over time, cementing these techniques in your mind and needing no second thought to use the right move. To learn this system of application you’ll have to work on applying it while a sparring partner uses techniques you’re likely to encounter on the street or in another style. So when you don’t have the time or sparring partner, you’ll have to rely on unfolding every detail of every attack and defense with shadow boxing. In the action of shadow boxing,

you are imagining a facing mirror, or perhaps the form of some possible assailant, and using this as a reference to show how your movements work against an active target. For many it’s much easier to do this with their eyes closed, so find a wide open area that no one is likely to walk by and feel free to do this exercise with closed eyes. You are going to start with the basics for your imagined opponent, and picture mentally a punch being directed toward you, with a close enough distance to you to do some decent damage. Now you will take this punch and apply any technique you see fit. Depending on the type of punch you imagine, you’ll have numerous possibilities for defense or offense, many varying from style to style. Of course this does not make up for the real thing, contact sparring with a partner, but it helps with the ideal use of a technique you want to consider

a reflexive possibility. A great part of sparring is also of course the mental factor, which cannot fully be made up for in the serene fashion of shadow boxing, so preparing yourself mentally aids in effectively building that spirit. Bruce Lee himself said training should be approached with the same force you’d press against an opponent, so infusing this ideal into shadow boxing can be split into two segments. You will map out how to effectively apply a technique, and then pick up the speed, performing the action at the swiftness needed for fighting. Just remember that if you are left with no other option but to fight, you must not show any wavering expression, keep hands ready to react in front of the chest, and don’t turn your back to your opponent unless for some reason

you’ve got a backpack made of spikes. Contact GREG ANDERSON at lavoz@fhda.edu

Greasy pizza, coffee, quick microwavable meals and snacks are easy pick-me-up boosts when cramming, but can also make you feel worse. When good nutrition is added to your study session, it can actually improve memory! Among the best foods to eat for your brain is a no-brainer – fruit! Go bananas and eat up! Include blueberries to your cereal, oatmeal, or snack. It’s proven to help memory and is a high-antioxidant fruit that helps keep brain cells from damage and the immune system strong

(who wants to get sick over finals week?!). Avoid a diet high in saturated fats. Most of this comes from animalbased products like cheese, dairy, ice cream, red meats and whole milk. Unfortunately, this stuff can impair concentration and memory. Go for whole grains. Having refined carbohydrates, sugar or white bread can lead to crashing after an energy rush. Choose complex carbs can fuel you longer and help your body perform its best. You can find it in oatmeal, whole beans, brown rice, and high-fiber cereals. Lots of people are aware of fish as brain food, but even if you’re not a fish person, you can get your essential omega oils from either supplements or various nuts like walnuts, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds and soybeans. Keep hydrated! Opt for teas, water or fruit juices over soda or caffeineloaded coffee, though some are OK in moderation. If you need coffee, try limit caffeine to 450 mg or less. Don’t forget to eat breakfast before you take your test! It will help avoid thinking about that empty stomach while you’re trying to focus, and help fuel your body and brain. Choose any of the said tips from above, like cereal or oatmeal with added fruit, a smoothie, etc.

Benoit Roddier, 18, freshman was put in the midst of his own personal March Madness this winter season. Roddier, the only international student on the men’s basketball team, came all the way from Paris, France to play basketball on De Anza mens basketball team.

Roddier, who is a guard for De Anza, said it wasn’t too hard to move. He knew he wanted to play basketball and he had moved just a year before to Bayonne for the same reason of being able to play his favorite sport. Roddier said, “I came to De Anza because it is much harder in France to combine both studying and basketball. Usually people only pick one.”

For over 700 years, Persians have been practicing the traditional martial art known as Pahlevani, or more commonly referred to as Zoorkhaneh, which means “house of strength”. The exercise combines traditional bodybuilding equipment with gymnastic movements. Ten to twenty men compete in the sacred Zoorkhaneh, a domed structure with an octagonal sunken arena and audience seats. The ritual is lead by the poems and drum beat of their master, who recites poems that “transmit ethical and

“I like being part of a college team,” said Roddier about his experience on the De Anza team. “It’s like being part of one big family. The team is really close. I’ve had the opportunity to meet people from the east coast as well, because some of the other players are from there.” “I’m not sure if I will be playing with them next year,” he added, “but I do plan to play at university level.” Majoring in Kinesiology, he has career plans of being a personal trainer or basketball coach. He also hopes to be like his main inspiration, Kevin Durant who plays for Oklahoma City. “I look up to him because he is a hard worker, and he is very humble. Like him, I also give the best I can do on everything.” Contact ALIX METANAT at lavoz@fhda.edu

social teachings” of the Zoorkhaneh literature, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. A man by the name of Pouriya Vali has been credited as the first one to practice this ancient martial art and believed in the philosophy that building moral was more important than building muscle. There are currently over 500 groups across Iran that still practice this ancient art today. Contact LEILA FOROUHI at lavoz@fhda.edu

A sign that the state’s entire higher education system is running on fumes. Now, San Jose State University is preparing to change its admissions requirements for local students. No longer will SJSU accept local students with lower GPAs than those applying from other counties. La Voz supports this move by SJSU, as there is not, and has never been, a good reason to ever lower academic standards.

We do not, however, support any act that restricts access of a CSU’s local student pool to that institute of higher education.

CSUs should never see students as dollar figures, either for the financial benefit of the school or to fill budget shortfalls. We believe that CSUs have a duty to "(>6%'"$ '2"&)$ #16%#$ 010>#%'&1*$ 4)3',$ "9"*$ at the cost of other Californians and out of state/international students. No one should be forced to undertake the costly, and sometimes prohibitive, expenditures of relocation to obtain a higher

education because they were not accepted by their local CSU. To demand students from Cupertino attend San Francisco State, making the two-hour commute every day, or paying the outrageous rental prices of the city rather than bound down Interstate 280 from their home to San Jose State because equally successful students from Foster City took their spots, is unacceptable.

Raising admission standards is a great step in returning California to its education master plan and restoring the prestige and value of a bachelor’s degree. But it must not remove the incentives to educate the local population. Priority acceptance of local students, a limited number of guaranteed slots for local students or another form of incentivization should be required in conjunction with this change.

New game is example of loose ethics

Mass Effect 3’s downloadable content highlights the ethical issue of segmented sales, an issue across the entire video game industry GREG ANDERSON MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

A lot of flak has fallen on EA Games from dedicated fans this week when the third installment in the Mass Effect series was released March 5. Fans across Internet forums and gaming websites gave reviews and ratings either raving or rage-ridden. The problem most people have with the game is the additional tidbits of story that accompany the game which must be purchased separately. If you bought the game as a new copy you got some bonuses, but you had to buy a deluxe copy of this game to grab an optional piece of downloadable content. So far this really doesn’t sound so bad, but the problem lies with how important this extra little bit is to the actual game. The downloadable content includes a character belonging to, and with it the history of, the most mysterious race in the whole series. These are figures shrouded in legacy and secrets, with their very existence as an important plot point. EA has you paying $60 for a copy of the game, you’d think you have purchased the whole game. No, you have to purchase this extra content in addition to the cost of the game to have the full experience.

It’s like buying a book only to find out the second to last chapter is sold separately. It gives the impression that the DLC, titled “From Ashes” was held onto with the purpose of selling it for a more profit. BioWare, the creators of the game, has specifically said the DLC was made after much of the game was going through licensing, but how many people believe them when this content was released on the very same day the game was? It’s hard to make an excuse for this business tactic. It makes the fans of Mass Effect wonder if, even in the short time that has been this industry’s life, the corporate section of EA has the forgotten how sharp their fans are. The idea of making content exclusive material stems from an idea utilized in Mass Effect 2, where a code found on the original game box could be used once for extra content. This was a small package with a side mission and some armor and weapons that had no huge impact on the game. One could get past the gimmicky multi-player mode, which is required to be played to actually finish the game, but finding ways to break up the game into more parts that can be sold separately is an issue that merits an adjustment to the ethics of the video game industry.

EDITOR’S CORNER COLUMN BAHRAIN WHO, AGAIN?

MANAGER AILYA NAQVI One year, two days, and hundreds of casualties later, the peaceful protestors’ prodemocratic demonstrations in Manama—the capital of Bahrain—continue their struggle to gain recognition from the rest of the world, including their own government. The Bahraini people have been shouting in the dark for almost as long as the Egyptians have been dealing with the dictator Hosni Mubarak. Only difference: Egypt got worldwide coverage simply because the U.S. decided it didn’t like Mubarak anymore, someone they supported from the moment he assumed power. While many western governments have spoken out against human rights abuses allegedly carried out by the Egyptian and Libyan governments, Bahrain has been treated with kid gloves. The U.S. government is not willing to withdraw support for dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh, despite his bloody suppression of dissent. The U.S. support of the Bahrain monarchy is the latest in a long history of U.S. approved apartheid-like policies. The Shiite majority is barred from employment in the police, military and security services. The only difference between South African and Bahraini apartheid is that the divide is religious rather than racial. In the U.S., we refuse to believe anything but what the giant media corporations say. We refuse to look past the biased media and do a little bit of our own research.

Letters to the Editors: Thanks for your thoughtful but misguided March 5 piece on U.S. History education. Teachers at a Stockton school have been told that Santas, Christmas trees, and poinsettia plants are not to be displayed, though snowmen and snowflakes are acceptable. Why? There are a “myriad of religious affiliations,” says the superintendent, though after many protests he seems to have backed off: “Well-intentioned people may take a step that’s incongruous with district expectations,” whatever that means. Meanwhile in Florida, there is a shortage of multicultural Santas—and black Santas: a local community activist blared, “When Santa bears the face that kids can connect to, it can raise their self-esteem.” This is the kind of idiocy we fall into without a common purpose. The point? One central purpose of public education is assimilation into a common culture. Knowing the history of your country is a means to that end. Public education was designed not to raise self-esteem but to educate children for citizenship, to give them the tools they need to be prudent voters and community members—and for that they must know what community they live in, and its history. For that the public rightly foots the bill. Your private interest in the culture you come from? You subsidize that. ­ Elizabeth Erickson, 77, part­time P.E. student.
