Counci l Meeting Ends in Violence

Marshall Law Officially Ends! He Was One Of Us ...

Volume 100, Issue 31, November 25, 2013

“Now is not the time to point fingers. Now is not the time to be fearful of one another. Now is the time to unite.”

– Pieter Frick, dean of the College of Engineering

This was the key sentiment expressed at the all-university memorial service yesterday afternoon in the Open Air Theatre. Hundreds of faculty, staff and students gathered to remember engineering professors Chen Liang, Preston Lowrey III and Constantinos Lyrintzis.

“We mourn them and we celebrate all that they gave us,” said Gene Lamke, university senate chairman.

The three professors were shot and killed at approximately 2:05 p.m. Aug. 15 on the third floor of the campus engineering building where they had gathered to evaluate a graduate student’s thesis.

Campus police were at the scene just two minutes after they were notified, said University Police Lt. Stephen Williams. The suspect, Frederick Martin Davidson, 36, was arrested and taken into custody.

Since then, Davidson has pled not guilty to the murders. His attorney has entered a plea of insanity. Davidson’s preliminary hearing has been set for Dec. 5 by Municipal Judge Albert Harutunian.

An overwhelming amount of support

“I have never seen the university as glued together as I have in the past 20 days – from the president of the university to the smalled person,” said Dr. Nihad Hussain, associate dean of the College of Engineering and professor of mechanical engineering.

TRAGEDY continued on P11

This week, student will be given the opportunity to vote on whether to self-impose a new student fee for facility upgrades to Aztec Center. For some students this may sound like deja-vu—in 2006 students voted on a similar measure to increase student fees by $56 throughout the course of four years; the last portion of that fee increase went into effect this semester.

The 2006 referedum promised additional facilities, such as a 24/7 “state of the art” study space with lounges, theatre-style performance space, healthy food offerings for the Aztec Center Food Court, a day spa, new fitness and recreational facilities, more meeting rooms for students, and more bowling allies and electronic games, not to mention more job opportunities for students to staff these outlets.

CAMPUS BUILDINGS continued on P5

Marshall Faulk left the San Diego State football program Tuesday afternoon the same way he entered it — unassuming, fairly emotionless, speaking with a soft voice and wearing the same sort of clothing.

Yet, when Faulk officially announced that he wouldn’t return to SDSU for his senior season at a news conference in the Stadium Club at San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium, he left behind a legacy that may never again be equaled.

As the greatest running back in school history and the all-time NCAA record holder for combined rushing and receiving yards in a three-year career, Faulk accomplished virtually everything an individual could at SDSU.

The one obstacle that eluded Faulk was a Western Athletic Conference championship, which he admitted gives him “an empty feeling.”

Faulk, who was rumored to leave after his sophomore season but elected to return, said he never regretted his decision to return this year. He said he made his final decision to forego his final year of eligibility three or four days ago.

“It was a long thought process,” Faulk said. “Me, my mom, my (high school) coach — we talked about it all through the year. ‘If I have a good year, what would I do?’ It came to a point where I thought I wanted to come back, but with the coaching changes and the year that I had, I felt like it was time for a change.”

AZTEC ATHLETES continued on P3

Six persons were injured and the bottom floor of the Administration Building left in shambles as approximately 35 persons turned a special Associated Students Council meeting into a violent demonstration which lasted over an hour yesterday.

What started out as a special Council meeting to allow various administrators to explain to interested students what they were doing about the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), the Affirmative Action Plan and other issues related to the demands made by Mecha last Friday, turned into a display of violence. Members of Chicano and white radical groups said the administrators were not giving what they considered valid answers during the meeting.

Rico Bueno, Mecha representative to the Council and another Chicano student rose at the meeting and shouted that the group must show its power then and there. Approximately 35 persones then marched to the Administration Building chanting “Chicano power, black power, white power, people power!” and began clapping and shouting in front of the building. After several secretaries the glass doors of the building members of the crowd started breaking windows and burning trashcans and copies of the Daily Aztec in front of the building. CONTROVERSY continues on P8

An SDSU alumnus is dead.

He spoke here during commencement little more than six months ago. He described himself as an “instant graduate.”

He was awarded the first honorary doctorate degree given by the California State College System.

He was met by an enthusiastic crowd of about 30,000 persons in Aztec Bowl. He had just completed a successful parade down the streets of San Diego.

He was widely identified with young Americans.

The youthful President dead and buried.

A nation and much of the world still mourn his passing.

We at SDS had more than the usual attachment with the late President. He “belonged” to this college by the fact that he made a special effort to speak here and accept a degree from us.

The students of this college have reacted greatly to the late President’s call for volunteers to his pet prokect, the Peace Corps.

He was a martyr in every sense of the word. Death came to him during his service to his country.

“Black Weekend” brought tragedy in more than the death of the president. The American-way of justice also suffered in the city of Dallas, Tex.

The murder of the accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was reminiscent of old-time lynchings. The act did nothing but deprive Oswald of his right of a fair trial, something we guard very closely in the United States.

Millions of persons were as emotionally upset after the President’s death as Jack Ruby, but the death of Oswald solved nothing.

Our judicial system would have served the purposes of this nation better than the bullet and curse of Ruby.

We have much to be sorry about – the death of a good President, the act of murder that robbed Oswald of his trial and the loss of an opportunity to decide why Oswald might have committed such heinous crime.

It was a bizarre weekend, one that should never be reinacted.

We can never forget John F. Kennedy and we can never forget the weekend in which our system of justice was ignored by the emotions of a nation.

Editors in Chief1913-2013Letter from the Editor

A good newspaper is many things. It is timely, accurate and well written. It should be informative yet entertaining. But I believe playwright Arthur Miller put it best when he said, “A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.”

In that spirit, The Daily Aztec has strived to be a good newspaper by being the San Diego State campus talking to itself. In this commemorative centennial issue we look back at how that conversation has changed in 100 years of The Daily Aztec reporting.

Working on this issue, I saw the highs and lows of SDSU reflected in the pages of the newspaper. I saw a campus at war with itself during the ’70s and ’80s triggered by racism and discrimination from the administration through Associated Students and athletics. I also saw a campus rally together after the tragic death of three engineering professors at the hands of a graduate student in 1996.

The life of SDSU is reflected on those pages. As the hopes and fears of the campus community evolved, so did the newspaper’s coverage. However, through all the changes one thing remained constant: the students who wrote, edited and published those stories.

Every year, a new staff comes in to The Daily Aztec’s offices. New students enroll and others graduate, and a new editor in chief determines his or her vision for the year to come. Whether they wrote for the original The Normal News Weekly in 1913, The Paper Lantern in the early 1920s, The Aztec or The Daily Aztec, they shared one thing: a passion and commitment to journalism at SDSU.

Looking at the names of editors in chief, it’s a unique honor and responsibility to not only recognize the past century of Aztec reporting, but to ensure it will continue for generations to come despite the troubles facing newspapers throughout the country.

This year we have monumentally adapted the newspaper to the changing times. For the first time in history the newspaper has launched a mobile app that allows members of the Aztec community to access news and information about SDSU wherever they are.

As part of our centennial celebrations we launched the Alumni Codices, in which SDSU alumni share their experiences as students and how that shaped them into the men and women they are today. You can see an example in this issue where an alumnus recalls seeing President John F.

Kennedy speak at SDSU, and the president’s subsequent assassination.

Earlier this year we also launched a new Spanish section to better connect with the significant Hispanic population on campus.

Even as we grow and improve in mobile and online content, our print schedule has also changed this year to publish twice a week. Every Monday and Thursday a more robust edition of the newspaper is published and distributed on campus.

This change allows us to focus on timelier breaking news online and on social media. For the first time in years, we’re a true daily publication, publishing new content online every single day of the week.

Being a twice-weekly publication also allows us to save in publishing costs and to reinvest that money into creating a more attractive, in-depth newspaper. With that comes another first. The newspaper has had many names throughout the years, but for the first time ever it has two at the same time: The Daily Aztec and The Aztec.

As a daily news organization online, we are proud to continue calling ourselves The Daily Aztec, with our print publication (The

Aztec) taking on our older name to reflect its new print schedule.

As we look back on Nov. 26, 1913 when the first issue of The Normal News Weekly was published, we also must consider the

future of the newspaper. Today, the newspaper is solely funded by

its own advertising revenue, although this wasn’t always the case. For years student fees, subscriptions and other funding sources were used to supplement the cost of providing news and information to the SDSU community.

In the coming years we must look back at the old models to find the key to a fiscally sound future.

It was best stated in that first issue, where an editorial titled “Support The Normal News” said: “You voted for the establishment and maintenance of a school newspaper. It is now up to every one of you, individually, to meet this responsibility. You know that a paper cannot subsist on San Diego climate and fricasseed air.”

How the newspaper is supported, and how it’s published and distributed, will surely change in the years to come. But on behalf of a century of The Normal News Weekly, The Paper Lantern, The Aztec and The Daily Aztec staffs I make this promise: We’ll be here keeping the conversation with the SDSU community alive for the next 100 years.

It’s where we eat, play, study and socialize. And for the past 42 years, AztecCenter has put a roof over generations of Aztecs doing just that. But the build-ing, which was heralded in the 1960’s as the first student union of its kind in theCSU system, is now just called “old.” The polls open tomorrow and the futureof Aztec Center is in the hands of the student voters. So read on and decide:Is SDSU ready for a new student union?

In the 1960s the Aztec Center was championed as the first of its kind in the California State University system. Next spring it will be replaced with the Aztec Student Union, the first student center in the CSU system to be recognized as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design platinum-certified and almost entirely sustainable.

In 1971, The Aztec wrote, “Aztec Center is a relief from the sameness of academic life. It is a place to relax, to be informal. As you enter this center of student life, you feel the majesty and spaciousness of the columns and arches enhanced by their special lighting.”

In January, the campus living room will return with much homage to its predecessor.

From Aztec Center to Aztec Student Union

I vividly remember the period of the Kennedy presidency and

especially, the assassination.

I graduated from high school and began college in 1960 and followed the presidential campaign with great fascination and enthusiasm. I saw both candidates give campaign addresses in San Diego and watched each of the debates. I clearly recall the excitement of the election night cliffhanger and still enjoy periodically perusing the classic account of that campaign “The Making of the President-1960” by Theodore White. I vividly recall watching the inauguration address during a college public speaking class.

My grandfather had been a 1912 classmate of Joseph P. Kennedy at Harvard University, and both families, including my father and JFK, attended the 25th class reunion in 1937. According to family lore, during that reunion my father trounced JFK in a game of pool, and one of my uncles subdued the pugnacious preadolescent Robert Kennedy in a wrestling match.

Due largely to the Kennedy influence, I decided to major in history and pursue a career in public service.

I clearly recall most of all the significant events, speeches, news conferences and actions that occurred during the Kennedy presidency including the failed invasion of Cuba, the establishment of the Peace Corps and the Alliance for Progress, the first astronaut launchings, the Vienna summit and the Berlin crisis in 1961, the successive civil rights crises in Alabama and Mississippi, the steel price hike imbroglio, the crises in Laos and Vietnam culminating in the Diem assassination, and especially, the nearly cataclysmic Soviet/Cuban missile crisis of 1962 and its aftermath including the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. For superb accounts of that crisis I highly recommend “One Minute to Midnight” by Michael Dobbs and “Khruschev’s Cold War” by Naftali and Fursenko.

On June 6, 1963 President Kennedy received an honorary Ph.D. degree and gave the commencement address in the Aztec Bowl at San Diego State College, which was attended by an estimated 30,000 people, including myself. The subject of his speech was “Our Educational Deficiencies and Their Remedy,” which highlighted

the excellence of the public higher education system in California and the need for federal aid for education in other sections of the country to enable improved educational opportunities including more affordable higher education. This speech is reprinted in “The Burden and the Glory” and is accessible via YouTube. It is a moving and compelling speech that continues to have resonance today.

At 10:45 a.m. PST on Nov. 22, 1963, I was on break between classes in the Social Sciences building at San Diego State College when I first learned of the assassination attempt from a cluster of students listening to a transistor radio in the hallway. I immediately walked over to The Daily Aztec’s office, which had a television set and saw a large group of staff and students hovered around it in a state of shock and disbelief. At about 11 a.m. we watched Walter Cronkite make the fateful announcement. I will never forget that moment. Shortly, thereafter, a public address announcement was made that all further classes that day had been cancelled. As I was walking to the parking lot I observed the flag being lowered to half-mast. I recall hundreds of students walking to their vehicles in complete silence and shock.

I recall my parents, sister and I being glued to the TV set all weekend. We watched Friday night as Air Force One taxied up to the ramp at Andrews Air Force Base. As the casket was being lowered I believe it was the NBC network that was playing the sombre second movement of Antonin Dvorak’s New World Symphony, which was overwhelmingly overpowering. I recall the first glimpses of Mrs. Kennedy and President Lyndon Johnson and Mrs. Johnson. I recall the president’s brief sensitive and reassuring remarks. My most vivid remembrance of the funeral was the long parade of top leaders from around the world led by dignified, sombre Prime Minister Harold MacMillan of Great Britain and the towering, regal Charles deGaulle of France.

Upon the return to classes the following Tuesday, I recall my 20th century American history class professor (Richard Ruetten) walking in and stating, “Thank God for Lyndon Johnson.” Referring to the recent awarding of the honorary degree, The Daily Aztec’s that day was “He Was One of Us.” I still have that paper, as well as the Nov. 22 San Diego Evening Tribune (extra seventh edition) with its 3-inch bold headline: Kennedy Dead.

With no formal collegiate education and previously serving as the California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Black was San Diego State’s inaugural president. President Samuel Black was a successful teacher and lawyer prior to his presidency. He was celebrated for his compassion and reverence for pioneering the San Diego Normal School.

Previously a San Diego High School principal, Edward Hardy oversaw two transitions that changed the course of the college by obtaining approval for the school to become a four-year college in 1921 and moving the location of the school to its current home on Montezuma Mesa. Hardy triumphed a “progressive education” philosophy, which emphasized the notion that a school’s function was to prepare students for life.

President Walker Hepner is hailed as the school’s “builder,” doubling the campus’ acreage and acquiring funds to build several buildings including the Aztec Bowl and Open Air Theatre. Similarly, he tripled student enrollment and the amount of academic programs. Hepner is celebrated for his inclusion of both faculty and students in his decision-making with his trademark noted as reliant on “collaborative education and good citizenry.”

Perhaps SDSU’s most beloved president, Malcom A. Love led the school during its exponential growth and pioneered the vision of turning the school into a leading educational force. During his tenure, enrollment grew more than 600 percent and 52 graduate degree programs were established. Previously, the president of the University of Nevada, Reno, Love is celebrated for his passion for the school and charismatic leadership.

President Brage Golding served the shortest term, yet helped distinguish SDSU from other instituted by emphasizing its academic integrity and a respect to its history. Notably, his decision to name campus buildings after prominent leaders of SDSU affirmed the distinction of SDSU among other California State University campuses. Golding is celebrated for his pragmatic leadership and passion for informal encounters with students and faculty.

Perhaps the most controversial president, Day is remembered for his bluntness and decisiveness. During his tenure, he approved tuition increases and faculty layoffs that resulted in the elimination of nine departments, but also helped turn SDSU into a major research-oriented university by acquiring grants and awards. While still regarded with conflicting opinions, Day led SDSU to become the dominant university it is today.

Hailed as “the uniter,” President StephenWeber emphasized a “shared vision” philosophy that focused on committing to academic excellence and nurturing campus diversity. Known as one to lead by example, Weber utilized an inclusive approach in his decision-making and ultimately oversaw a strong improvement in academic and diversity rankings.

Protesters burn The Daily Aztec5/4/72by Leonardo Castaneda

A Chicano Movement demonstration resulted in a showcase of violence in May 1972. Protesters burned copies of The Daily Aztec in trash cans, then moved on to smash the windows of the Administration building and finally setting bookshelves on fire inside the building. Protesters were heard to be chanting, “Chicano power, black power, yellow power, white power.” The paper reported more than 2,000 onlookers, several of whom became violent during the protest. The Daily Aztec gave a vivid and detailed report on this violent demonstration, yet did not state the reason behind the protest.

Rockwell Ruckus3/9/62 by Leonardo Castaneda

American Nazi leader George Rockwell gave a speech to SDSU students at the Open Air Theatre, inciting bigotry and hatred, marking on the Jewish, black, and LGBT communities. Rockwell received boos, jeers, and eggs were thrown at him. One Jewish student, Ed Cherry, was so angered that he jumped onto the stage and “slugged” Rockwell twice in the face, breaking his glasses. After the slugging incident, Rockwell retreated to The Daily Aztec offices where staff members interviewed him; Rockwell stated the slugging incident was part of a conspiracy to keep him off college campuses. The Daily Aztec reported that Rockwell left “his scar of racial bigotry and rabble-rousing.”

Steinmetz accused of Communism2/5/54by Leonardo Castaneda

At the height of the Red Scare, in 1953, the Luckel Act stated any state employee who would not answer questions before an investigation committee would be fired. Psychology professor Henry Steinmetz evoked the Fifth Amendment when asked whether he had ever been a member of the Communist party. Steinmetz was a known radical political activist, yet President Malcom A. Love resisted the state legislation and the pressure to remove the professor. However, Steinmetz was removed from his position at SDSU in February 1954. Fourteen years later, the Luckel Act was declared unconstitutional, yet Steinmetz was never reinstated and unfortunately, SDSU failed to protect scholastic freedom.

Chatting with SDSU’s preeminent historianKelly Hillock

Senior Staff Writer

San Diego State’s Department of Anthropology Chairman and author of SDSU’s historical book, “Hail Montezuma! The Hidden Treasure of SDSU” Seth Malios offered The Aztec his perspective on topics from the campus during wartime to the relevancy of a student newspaper for the SDSU community. Mallios offers a reflection on the continuing tradition of The Aztec during the course of a century. With his insight, he reminds us of the weight of the phrase, “Aztecs for Life” and celebrates the accomplishment of a century of student-led journalism.

The Aztec: What is the influence of war on campus?

Seth Mallios: My first semester here was during 9/11. That was one of the first moments when I thought, “Sometimes your class has nothing to do with archaeology. Get over yourself, get over your syllabus, get over your curriculum. This is about life.” And I remember thinking about the role of the military at SDSU.

During World War I, the male population dropped to zero. All the men here were fighting. And then in the ‘30s, this place was firmly against the war, like most of the U.S. it was very isolationist. There was a peace rally that President (Walter) Hepner gave everyone the day off for. The rallying cry was “scholarships not battleships.”

And then, the attack on Pearl Harbor and immediately the campus changes. That’s where this campus suddenly

becomes so pro-U.S. involvement in the war. It’s funny because it completely reflects the nation. It goes from, we were isolationists when we hadn’t been attacked on our own soil and then everything changes. Not only was this campus more active than any other campus in the war movement, but then when the war is over, more vets used the G.I. Bill to come to SDSU than any other campus, at least in California. There are these great stories of 26-year-old war vets playing on the football team with 18-year-old freshmen kids.

You can look at the history of the school through the military, through the protests around Vietnam to the Student Veteran Organization and the incredible presence that the military has here.

TA: What is the legacy The Aztec has left?

SM: I think that one of the most important things is that when the paper was founded, President (Samuel) Black insisted that it be free from faculty control. You have it in your ledger: student-run, student-controlled. That’s really important because there’s lots of puppet papers out there. Hell, most of mainstream media is in some way puppeted.

It’s not only a student-run paper, you know there is a lot of superficial praise for anything student-done, its a student-

controlled paper, and that is the spirit of this place: It’s not students being told what to do. This has been a student voice, a legitimate student voice, that at times has made fun of things, emphasized things that were

wrong, and really has been free-spirited. That’s why I think it’s absolutely essential that it continue, in whatever format. I think that’s the most important legacy.

I think you also see the creativity. Some of the papers just have hilarious commentary on what’s going on. The research I was able to do on the original mascot, the Wampus Cat, is all from the newspaper. Without the paper over the past 100 years, all of that is lost.

Quite honestly, this is a far more boring place without the newspaper to chronicle that. The reason universities are such exciting places is that you get all these people here and you have no idea what they are going to end up doing. There is more potential on a university campus

Professor

Seth Mallios

than anywhere else and that is captured in the newspaper and virtually nowhere else.

TA: What is the legacy you hope we continue to leave?

SM: I think the first thing is accuracy. There is a lot of revisionist history that goes around here, and it’s pretty disturbing. There aren’t a lot of people that know the history and a lot of times people use history for their own agenda. The pressure is on all of us to show why the past is so relevant.

Second, and this one may be obvious, but that doesn’t make it any less important, (is that) so many of you have

gone on from The Aztec to any number of current media positions. You guys have the best track records out of anybody.

Part of the legacy also is the burden of the future. I fear any institution that doesn’t have any kind of watchdog. It’s terrifying across the board, as budget cuts come, those that force a group to be honest get cut first. That’s the role you all play. That’s the power of the op-ed piece. You don’t have to worry about that disagreement because you have 100 years to back you up. You guys have the continuity that virtually no one else does. That’s powerful.

This has been a student voice, a legitimate student voice, that at times has made fun of things, emphasized things that were wrong, and really has been free-spirited.

Similar to countless other colleges in the U.S., San Diego State was home to anti-war sentiments.

In an editorial in the issue above The Daily Aztec asked students to “do more than whisper about peace.”

Tragedies

9/119/12/01by Leonardo Castaneda

The San Diego State community was as shocked by the attacks on the World Trade Center as the rest of the world.

Immediately following the tragic events in San Diego the recovery began. The Daily Aztec reported there was counseling available on campus for students.

Several opinion columns and student interviews reflected the divide that gripped the nation in coming days and weeks. Some called for moderation and warned against violent retaliation. Others called for swift and forceful retaliation against whomever was responsable for the deadly attacks of 9/11.

Almost every anniversary after 9/11 was commemorated by The Daily Aztec. The coverage changed with each subsequent year and the sense of unity that immediately followed that day always remained.

Shooting deaths at SDSU8/15/96by Leonardo Castaneda

On Aug. 15, 1996 graduate student Frederick Martin Davidson shot and killed three engineering professors on campus, Chen Liang, Constantinos Lyrintzis and Preston Lowrey III.

Davidson believed the professors, and the entire engineering department, were working against him. He came upon them when they were gathered in a classroom discussing another student’s work. Davidson opened fire and within minutes SDSU Police Department officers had arrived but it was too late.

The days and weeks that followed were filled with an overwhelming sense of community and unity by the San Diego State community. Memorials were held honoring the fallen faculty members where hundreds of students, staff and faculty members gathered.

As one faculty member put it, it was not a time for pointing fingers but for coming together.

North Park plane crash9/26/78by Leonardo Castaneda

On Sept. 25, 1978 a Pacific Southwest Airlines plane crashed into a light plane over San Diego. The crash in North Park killed 142 people, including one San Diego State student.

What was at the time the worst aviation accident in U.S. history rattled the SDSU community.

SDSU students recalled watching the plane crash and destruction that followed.

The coverage of these events eventually won The San Diego Evening Tribune a 1979 Pulitzer Prize. However, The Daily Aztec’s coverage showed a key element of college reporting.

It made a city-wide crisis relatable and understandable for SDSU’s college students.

“Tears Flow from Freshmen Eyes during Final Hours of Registration” February 9, 1967

Registration on the final day, during the final hour, is enough to make a grown man cry and a gracious girl

whisper obscenities under her breath. The last group to go through registration

at 11:30 on Friday was unhappy and frustrated.

Registration day to SDS freshmen looks like D-Day did to the Germans. it is a grand battle, featuring surprises, complicated strategy and intestinal fortitude. But the freshman is the inevitable loser.

“At this rate, I don’t know when I’ll graduate,” said freshmen Edie Stivers. Who does?
