Hundreds Protest on Day of ActionMovement Struggles to Unite Under Breadth of Goals Moving Forward
After another day of protest swept across the state and nation, members of UC Berkeley’s still burgeoning stu-dent movement found themselves un-able to fully define the scope of their movement or how to achieve the nu-merous goals before them.
Though hundreds of students and activists rallied on Upper Sproul Plaza, marched across the campus and staged a sit-in inside Doe Memorial Library as one body, once they began to discuss in a gen-eral assembly where to take the student movement in the future, their enthusiasm — and numbers — slowly dissipated.
With demands ranging from pass-ing the DREAM Act to guaranteeing free child care for workers and student parents, many activists said they felt the breadth of demands made it diffi-cult to unify under a common political goal, while others cited the spectrum of interests as a sign of strength.
Aaron Dankman, a UC Santa Cruz alumnus who participated in the sit-in, said he was concerned how the general assembly meeting was handled. In-stead of voting on proposals, he said

Thursday’s national day of protest in defense of affordable public higher education began in small numbers but escalated throughout the day as UC Berkeley students, fac-ulty, staff and c o m m u n i ty members came out to show their sup-port through teach-outs, sit-ins and a noon rally in front of Sproul Hall that at one point drew a crowd of over 700 people, as estimated by UCPD.
Oct. 7 began with less than 10 pick-eters at the intersection of Bancroft Way and Telegraph Avenue at about 7:00 a.m., chanting and distributing flyers and red arm bands to passersby. Protesters later delivered a list of de-mands for Chancellor Robert Birge-neau at about 10 a.m., accepted by As-sociate Chancellor Linda Williams at California Hall.
The demands included the democ-ratization of the UC Board of Regents, free public education and full funding for ethnic studies on the campus.
The number of protesters grew steadily throughout the day. Profes-sors and graduate student instructors in front of California Hall and around Moffitt Library held regular class ses-sions as well as discussions on the state of public higher education. Ashley Fer-ro-Murray, a graduate student instruc-tor of theater, dance and performance studies, said she hoped the protests would foster a discussion between the administration and students regarding higher education.
“This is another opportunity to share with the public concerns about education, have conversations with others and ask questions of the admin-istration,” she said. “We can use today to continue this movement into the future.”
At around 11:30 a.m., about 100 protesters paraded into Dwinelle Hall,

Activists at UC Campuses Stage Demonstrations, Teach-Ins Among 76 Protest Actions Nationwide
Student and faculty activists na-tionwide participated in various dem-onstrations on Oct. 7, protesting bud-get cuts and a lack of transparency in administrative decisions, though such demonstrations did not compare in volume to those at UC Berkeley.

Police Presence During Protests More Visible This Year Despite the Lack of Violence, Riots
Thursday’s demonstration at UC Berkeley in support of public education had a stronger initial police presence visible on campus than other protests that took place last academic year.
UCPD requested assistance from nearby police departments and hired private security guards in preparation for the protests. Although UCPD Lt. Alex Yao said the department has done this for previous protests and that he

Ballot Measures Propose expansion of City’s Cannabis industryIn less than a month, Berkeley vot-
ers will decide whether to pass two measures that together would repre-sent an unprecedented expansion of the city’s medical marijuana industry, allowing the city to license and tax six cultivation facilities.
If passed during the Nov. 2 elections, Measure T would license and tax six 30,000-square-foot growing facilities, allow a fourth dispensary to operate in the city and reconstitute the city’s Medi-cal Cannabis Commission. Measure S would place a 2.5 percent tax on medical cannabis and — if voters pass California state Proposition 19, legalizing marijua-na for recreational use in the state — 10 percent on nonmedical cannabis.
According to the city attorney’s anal-ysis, annual city revenue from medical
by Gianna AlbaumContributing Writer
cannabis alone would total more than $400,000.
For most, the measures represent a compromise between the city and the industry, with both offering hesitant support.
“Bringing in taxes and showing how medical cannabis ... can help community development is a good thing for patients,” said Amanda Reiman, commission member and research director for the Berkeley Patients Group, one of the city’s three dispensaries. “It’s good to move this activity into a legitimate framework.”
Though the vast majority of “canna-business” representatives support the licensing of cultivation facilities, many would prefer to shift the tax burden from dispensaries to recreational cannabis.
“Medical marijuana is quasi-pre-scribed,” said Kris Hermes, commis-sion member and spokesperson for Americans for Safe Access. “Because
of that, it should not be taxed. Over-the-counter drugs are taxed, and pre-scribed drugs are not taxed.”
The reconstitution of the commis-sion has also been a sticky issue, with Mayor Tom Bates comparing the com-mission’s current composition, in an interview in July, to a “fox guarding the henhouse,” while Hermes said the reconstitution will make it “simply ... an arm of the city.”
Industry representatives have also argued that while a diversity of voices is welcome, it is important to maintain a certain level of expertise on the com-mission.
“Some of our staunchest opponents ... are coming from neighborhood asso-ciations and people who call themselves members of the public,” Hermes said. “So do I want to exclude that voice from the table? Certainly not. However, it should be tempered by patients, physicians and
other experts that will bring a balance.”Erik Miller, manager of the Berkeley
Patient’s Care Collective, said because Measure T eliminates the requirement that future cannabis decisions go to the voters, it “puts all the power in the hands of the City Council alone.”
Others, including former Mayor Shirley Dean, oppose the measures on the grounds that they are too vague regarding energy and electricity stan-dards and allow too much space — a maximum of 200 square feet — for residential cultivation.
“That’s the kind of thing that we would like to see,” Dean said. “Not something that is so poorly written that ... people (are) able to circumvent the law ... this is very serious business.”
Though safety and environmental standards are not mandated by the measure, council and commission members have said repeatedly that
such standards will be included in the permitting process.
One question that has yet to be an-swered is whether the sites will house multiple growers “farmers market style,” Reiman said.
“Multiple growers and cultivators can occupy a single space,” she said. “So you don’t have one company that does the entire thing.”
When Councilmember Laurie Capi-telli first suggested the idea of cultiva-tors sharing one facility in July, Coun-cilmember Kriss Worthington called the idea “entertaining, but unlikely to be realistic.”
However, Reiman said the commis-sion will encourage the council to give extra consideration to applications in-volving multiple growers.

Rallies at UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, UC Riverside and UCLA were among 76 actions na-tionwide. The Davis, Irvine, Riverside and UCLA protests each involved around 50 to 60 people marching through cen-tral areas on campus, conducting teach-ins to voice their concerns and express-ing intent to carry out future actions.
The UC Irvine protests addressed a
variety of subjects, ranging from budget cuts to military spending in Afghani-stan, as people shouted chants such as “We want money for jobs and education, not for war and occupation,” according to the live blog by “The New University,” UC Irvine’s student newspaper.
“There are a lot of different student groups that are affected in different ways, but the issues are interrelated,” said John Bruning, a UC Irvine gradu-ate student involved in the protest.
One way the issues are interrelated,

POLICE: UCPD requests Additional PersonnelfroM front
did not know figures for the number of police personnel present in those cases, a particularly high number of police personnel and security guards were visible on campus prior to the be-ginning of Thursday’s events.
A total of 13 deputies from the Alame-da County Sheriff ’s Office and five offi-cers from the UCSF Police Department were present to monitor the protest, according to Yao. In addition, 10 secu-rity guards from the private company ABC Security Services, Inc. — which the campus often contracts for security functions — were hired to serve as “eyes and ears” for UCPD. Yao declined to re-lease the number of UCPD officers ad-dressing the protest Thursday.
Yao said UCPD “took to heart” recom-mendations from the July 14 report by the UC Berkeley Police Review Board that indicated the campus police department did not have adequate staff to address the Nov. 20 occupation of Wheeler Hall.
Although upward of 280 peace of-ficers were present for the occupation, almost all of the officers were dis-patched following a request for mutual aid from UCPD after the occupation started. On Thursday, UCPD had the additional officers present on campus independent of the day’s events.
On Feb. 26, UCPD did not have ad-equate staffing to keep protesters oc-cupying Durant Hall from marching off-campus in what would become an late-night riot on Southside lasting an hour and a half.
Thursday’s protests were less eventful for police as of press time, with the ex-ception of a sit-in of approximately 600 protesters at the Doe Library’s North Reading Room, which exceeded the room’s occupancy limit and led officers to regulate entry. In addition, 10 false fire alarms were activated throughout the day, including six in the 16 minutes leading up to the day’s main rally on Upper Sproul Plaza at noon.
Yao said UCPD will seek reim-bursement from the campus for the final costs associated with Thursday’s demonstrations.

PROTEST: Demonstrators Discuss nov. 1 StrikefroM front
carrying banners and shouting “Walk out now,” while marching into class-rooms to rally student support. Pro-testers, consisting mainly of students, proceeded to march into Wheeler Hall and Pimentel Hall. Fire alarms were pulled in buildings such as LeConte Hall and the Valley Life Sciences Building, forcing evacuations from both buildings.
Protesters then marched to Sproul Hall for an hour-long rally on Upper Sproul Plaza that included speeches from students, union members and faculty members.
“We have a common cause and we are here to show that,” said Ricardo Gomez, ASUC external affairs vice president and student organizer, at the rally. “In a movement, you are no longer just you. You are one of ‘us.’ Students can change the future. The power is here with the people.”
Following the rally, protesters marched throughout campus, chant-ing and attempting to rally more stu-dent support before finally swarming into Doe Library and congregating in the North Reading Room to hold a “sit-in” until Birgeneau responded to their list of demands.
Protesters, shouting “Whose univer-
sity, our university,” marched into the room, hanging banners and disrupt-ing students who were studying. Police from UCPD and the Alameda County Sheriff ’s Office blocked entrances to the room and continued to monitor the activity of the protesters.
For more than six hours, protest-ers continued to meet, hear speeches from students and community ac-tivists and hold teach-ins on topics spanning Operational Excellence, the Multicultural Center and a proposed UC online education program. At one point, students from Laney College in Oakland came to join the sit-in to show support.
The protesters held a meeting at around 4 p.m., and many offered var-ied proposals for how to proceed in the coming days, weeks and months, including a slew of protest actions and a potential academic student employee strike on Nov. 1.
The number of protesters dwindled throughout the day, and by evening only a small number remained in the library. By 7 p.m. most had dispersed, but not before drafting a response to a letter by the administration addressing protesters’ demands.

the student protesters needed to first define their political goal.
“It’s important for students to think about the issues behind these proposals — politically and structurally,” he said. “It’s good to have forums and protests, but the student movement needs to define the political trajectory of their movement.”
Others said the diversity of the body of protesters was in every respect a strength. The demands brought various groups under the same roof, including students, graduate student instructors, union workers and campus staff. UC Berkeley senior Jonathan Nunez said that without encompassing the various groups, the movement could not expand.
“Our goal is ultimately free educa-tion for all,” he said. “We can’t do it without (different groups).”
As the two-hour general assembly meeting proceeded, protesters began to drift out of the North Reading Room in the library where the sit-in was held. What started as a sit-in nearly 600 people strong at 1 p.m. dwindled to around 30 students by the fifth hour.
Others said given the constantly changing student population, the move-ment would always be rebuilding itself. Jason Schultz, who works at the library and is a member of the Student Worker Action Team, said this was a “problem-atic dynamic” for the student movement.
ASUC External Affairs Vice Presi-dent Ricardo Gomez said that like all movements, the ongoing student struggle has its ups and downs.
“Movements are always on the edge of collapse,” he said after the assembly. “It is only in hindsight that they are viewed as linear.”
By the meeting’s end, activists had decided to hold another day of action on Nov. 1 and attempt to shut down the November meeting of the UC Board of Regents. Before those two actions, activists plan to bang pots and pans together outside Chancellor Robert Birgeneau’s campus home on Oct. 14, followed by a pillow fight the next day.
Some activists remained unconvinced of the protests’ success, saying they hoped the movement would show more leader-ship and direction when they next met.
“If it isn’t going to happen at Berke-ley, it’s not going to happen anywhere else,” said junior Nate Smith. “And it’s looking pretty weak right now.”
according to Bruning, is the lack of administrative accountability in deci-sions that affect the student body.
“There is a culture where admin-istration makes decisions and we’re forced to live with them,” he said, cit-ing as an example his campus’s refusal to hire janitors directly, which would have made them eligible to unionize and gain better pay and benefits.
According to UCLA spokesperson Phil Hampton, the protest on their cam-pus was also small, especially when con-trasted with demonstrations on March 4, in which 200 to 300 people conducted a series of events throughout the day. Stu-dents on that day occupied an adminis-tration building until warned of arrest. Thursday’s protest included 50 to 60 people over a course of about three hours, with no reported confrontations.
The UC Davis protest lasted about three hours and involved about 60 par-ticipants, who conducted a teach-in at Mark Hall, an administrative building,
said campus spokesperson Julia Ann Easley. About 200 students gathered in Quarry Plaza at UC Santa Cruz for an hour-long protest, said UC Santa Cruz spokesperson Jim Burns.
Some activists made their voices heard via a virtual sit-in, a form of elec-tronic civil disobedience attempting to temporarily shut down the website for the UC Office of the President.
“It is a controversial, modern and ar-tistic manner of protesting,” said Holly Eskew, a UC San Diego senior and virtual sit-in participant. “Rather than having our real bodies outside an office or something, each individual targets a website to potentially clog it.”
Bruning said UC Irvine will devise specific follow-up plans closer to No-vember, when more information about the state budget is available.
“We really wanted to wake up the cam-pus and build up from today,” he said.

On the plane journey from New-ark to San Francisco, I experi-enced my first taste of America
— quite literally — by eating a “turkey-dog”: a venerable menagerie of a snack that was dished out hastily like pluto-nium-laden candy by the air hostesses. While I had (admittedly somewhat ambitiously for an airplane meal) hoped for good, hearty American food like that cooked from scratch by loving mothers, this musty treat was more an example of ruthless American industrial ingenuity.
You see, this ‘‘turkey-dog’’ was in quo-tation marks for a reason: it was in no way related to the traditional concept of turkey — the main difference being that it didn’t contain any turkey.
Who would have thought that one day technology would actually reach the God-like stage of being able to manufac-ture meat out of thin air? Well the wait is over now, because by utilizing such an array of ingredients as flour, salts, yeast, feathers, chemicals and scrap metals, one can alloy oneself a tasty turkey-labeled snack.
Indeed, by dubbing this sticky clump of an attempt at sustenance with the genetically ambiguous title “turkey-dog,” one can create an air of confusion that masks the questionable aspects of your product. The name throws the con-sumer to the extent that they can no lon-ger remember what turkey tastes like, how dogs smell, if sulphur counts as one of your five-a-day or whether they usu-ally feel this light-headed.
And so, like so many before me, I was fooled. After perusing this soggy warm dollop in its steamy plastic package, scanning the long list of ingredients and chuckling at the notion of “mechanically processed turkey,” and after recoiling from the putrid, intoxicating whiff of this doughy squish of beige malice, I found myself eagerly tucking in.
And I enjoyed it too, struggling to restrain myself from asking my neigh-bours if I could have theirs, which lay untouched next to their freshly micro-waved Chicken Vesuvio.
Of course, I realize that this stodgy fart of a product probably did contain some degree of turkey (although it could equally possibly have contained some dog) and maybe didn’t have toxic metals among its ingredients. But my point in describing this turkey-hound to you is that food standards are pretty dire.
The drive for lower production costs to procure greater profit margins
and wider consumer markets has resulted in some truly horrible corner-cutting recipes in the food industry. For example, in the United States, a product can be called “chocolate’’ regardless of whether or not it includes any cocoa butter. In Britain, I have heard that the right to call a product “light” is reserved not only to those that are lower fat options, but also to those that are simply lighter in color or weight.
One could argue that these regula-tions (or lack of) exist because the con-sumer market allows them to. The majority of people either don’t know or don’t care about such details.
I find this a little unsettling, particu-larly with regards to my experience of America so far, where a curious combi-nation of healthiness and apathy seems
to reign. The nation that created fast food is also the nation where Walgreens offers flu vaccinations in-store (and even recently suggested giving them as pres-ents to others). America seems to love oscillating between the unhealthy and the healthy.
Colorado is the most contradictory of the states. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average Coloradan spends $500 to $770 per capita on fast food (ranking it among the top-spending 13 states) and yet it is also the skinniest state in America (with a 12.5 to 25 per-cent obesity rate).
In California, this trend of seemingly conflicting statistics is also particularly manifest. As well as having one of the loosest wallets when it comes to splash-ing out on fast food, across the state fruit and vegetable consumption ranges from 161 to a high of 252 pounds — again, per capita, again high figures relative to the rest of the country.
America composes 10 percent of the world’s population yet accounts for
40 percent of the global pharmaceutical market. This obsession with pharma-ceuticals would suggest a health-crazed nation, yet this same nation allows its food produce to be packed with unhealthy ingredients.
This seems to me to be slightly coun-ter-productive. Perhaps if food were of a higher, healthier, more natural standard, Americans wouldn’t feel the need to spend quite so much on pharmaceuti-cals to cure and guard against illnesses.
Of course, part of the reason that America spends such an extortionate amount on both drugs and fast food is that they are harassed into doing so by the masses of adverts that haunt televi-sions, newspapers and streets.
To a large extent, pharmaceutical adverts exploit paranoia and ignorance in the public, convincing them that they need to attain a prescription of the advertised drug.
This is a major difference between Britain and America — direct-to-con-sumer advertising of pharmaceutical products is illegal in the U.K. This means that, while we are endlessly tempted by fast food, we are not subject to constant fear-mongering with regards to our medical needs. As a result, our pharmaceutical expenditures and fast food consumptions are slightly less con-tradictory than in the U.S.
Thus, when I bit into my turkey-dog, I did so in the knowledge that I wouldn’t need a pill to prevent myself from mor-phing into a farm animal.

County Prepares Voters for Ranked-Choice System
With the election season looming, the Alameda County Registrar of Vot-ers Office continues to prepare for the implementation of a ranked-choice voting system through a series of com-munity meetings, online resources and pamphlets bearing the slogan “Voting made easy.”
In order to educate voters about the new system — approved by voters in 2004 and given the green light by the Berkeley City Council this past Janu-ary — the Registrar’s Office and the Alameda County Board of Supervisors have given over 150 presentations this year in locations such as farmers mar-kets, music festivals and the Oakland Coliseum, the most recent of which was held Wednesday night at the Ala Costa Center on Rose Street.
In addition to these presentations, the Registrar’s Office has utilized multimedia including a sample-ballot iPhone application as well as video demonstrations and supplementary information on its website. Several movie theaters throughout the county have also adopted 30-second informa-tional clips during previews that out-line the new system.
The three cities using the new voting
by True ShieldsContributing Writer
system have shared the cost of these educational materials, with Oakland contributing about 64 percent, Berke-ley nearly 24 percent and San Leandro 12 percent of the funds.
By infusing existing voter education meetings with ranked-choice instruc-tional materials and programs, county officials have largely been able to “tag along” at established events and save time and money, according to Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson.
The county also hopes to integrate new ways to inform people about the system, such as a “webinar” — a live online PowerPoint presentation given by the Registrar’s Office — run through the county’s website set for Oct. 8.
The office has also focused on accom-modating underrepresented demograph-ics by providing all educational materials in English, Spanish and Chinese.
Spanish- and Chinese-speaking neighborhoods in Fruitvale and urban Oakland — where there are 10 candi-dates for mayor this election season — have been sites of particular interest for voter education services, according to Alameda County Registrar of Voters Dave Macdonald.
“The people we want to reach are the more casual voters — the ones who don’t study,” he said. “The political junkies already know about (ranked-
choice voting).”While the county also hopes to
reach out to key demographics high-lighted in voter studies by Secretary of State Debra Bowen’s office, including elderly and black communities, Berke-ley City Clerk Deanna Despain said it is important that every voter is equally prepared for the new system.
“Everyone gets the same presenta-tion focusing on what the voter has to do,” she said. “Everything we’ve been doing is part of a major push, reaching out to both large and small groups.”
Despain also said the same commu-nity meetings used to educate voters about the new system emphasize voter participation, providing registration forms and information packets to new or prospective voters at each meeting.
Education efforts will continue through election day, as an extra poll worker at each polling location will be in place solely to explain the system in the three cities that have adopted it, accord-ing to Councilmember Linda Maio.
“Our hope is that more people get a voice because there will be a greater measure of choice in the voting pro-cess,” Maio said at the Wednesday’s fo-rum. “This way it is more democratic.”

Power to the People? I Don’t Think SoRather Than Participating in Ineffective Protests, Students Should Learn About Issues and Vote

I'm a true Berkeley liberal through and through, but I am thoroughly disappointed with the plans for the Oct. 7 protest. Until UC Berkeley stu-dents can legitimately articulate a cohesive political message and coor-dinate nonviolent yet effective pro-tests that do not involve unnecessary violence and knocking down trash cans (which makes the job of the underpaid janitor you claim to be fighting for that much more difficult),
I refuse to support Berkeley's 21st century notion of activism – it is unorganized, lacks a tangible goal to unite its participant, and tarnishes the memory of the vastly better exe-cuted Free Speech Movement of the 1960s.
This protest is problematic for sev-eral reasons. First, it functions as an excuse for students to miss class, as many simply stay home instead of actively participating (by the way, that's why we attend this amazing public university — to learn).
by Nadine Levyfield Second, it provides an opportunity for ignorant people to place blame on any authority figure who is the cur-rent scapegoat. There's nothing worse than when students aim their anger at Chancellor Birgenau, in doing so ignoring the root causes of the bud-get crisis and forgetting to consider those in power who exacerbated the situation: the governor, who seems to put education last on his agenda; the California state Legislature and its 2/3 majority necessary for voting on budgets and taxes which creates mas-sive gridlock; and, of course, Proposition 13 (the 1978 ballot initia-tive that was a major setback for edu-cation funding in California and directly led to public schools ranking lowest in the nation).
Third, the hype surrounding the protest creates an inviting atmo-sphere for Berkeley crazies to get involved – these people are not stu-dents and typically rally for any left-leaning political cause. They don't go to UC Berkeley; therefore this is not their fight, yet their radical agenda
gets pursued in the end, muddling the true message of the protest.
Fourth, the lack of public forums surrounding the issues at stake pre-vents students from becoming well informed and being able to organize efficiently. Graffiti on bathroom stalls announcing “October 7 shut down” is clearly not the proper advertising to get the message across or even explain the struggle. This results in the protest being dictated by a few who preach to the masses and are ultimately unclear about what they want to gain – there is nothing less democratic than that.
So instead of getting swept up in a poorly planned cause that does not choose one concrete issue to focus on, lumps together several unrelated problems and becomes a disorga-nized venue for a variety of com-plaints, consider the historical con-text of what put us into this mess in the first place and make it a point to inform yourself.
Then, if you still really want to voice your opinion, register to vote and get your ass to the polls this Nov. 2.

Although the effects from yes-terday’s protest remain unclear, it is comforting to see
that this campus learns at least some-what from experience. Compared to events in the past year, including the occupation of Wheeler Hall and the Southside riots, we were happy with how the protest was implemented, despite the fact that it ended on an organizational whimper.
Admittedly, the focus of the protest remained scattered without a specific policy to oppose or an explicit cause to support. Communicating a clear message is always desirable to mobi-lize and educate as many students as possible. We would have liked to see a bigger emphasis on reaching state voters for the upcoming elec-tion, for example. At the very least, we hope that more students took the opportu-nity to educate themselves on the ongoing fiscal cri-sis within the university.
However, we recognize the need to act in communicating the continued importance of higher education. It would be hard to take students seri-ously if they had completely forgotten and forgiven the university’s systemic financial turmoil last year just because a new semester started.
Despite the fuzzy focus of the pro-test, we would like to acknowledge that yesterday began with a level of preparedness and organization. The teach-outs gave interested students the chance to be further educated. Fliers passed out during the noon rally communicated the situation at hand, and some volunteers walking through the crowd offered to help individuals register to vote.
The pulled fire alarms and inter-rupted classes were exceptions to mostly appropriate actions taken by protesters. We continue to denounce these disruptions; those who earnest-ly want to teach or attend class deserve to do so. No one will turn around and support the events if they are barred from completing a midterm. Protesters should realize this is not an appropriate strategy.
There was also marked improve-ment on the side of enforcement. UCPD requested in advance that offi-cers and security guards outside of the department be stationed on cam-pus for the protest. UCPD Lt. Alex Yao said that the change in prepara-tion plans was influenced by the UC
Berkeley Police Review Board report regarding the events of Nov. 20. This was a positive step forward — the 28 peace officers and security guards worked to make sure that protests remained peaceful. We are also pleased to see that the department is taking the report into account and adjusting protocol based off of past experience.
While the administration demon-strated a more conscious effort to be in tune with yesterday’s events, their issued response fell flat. The letter delivered to Doe Library from
Chancellor Robert B i r g e n e a u , Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost George Breslauer and Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Harry Le Grande did not contain any substance and did not address any of the expressed con-cerns. Yes, many of the demands issued by the pro-
testers were impossible for these indi-viduals to resolve. Nevertheless, the leadership on this campus should have explained why they could not rescind the 32 percent fee increase or the 2012 admissions policy. Administrators could have instead shared their plans to help the campus move forward.
At the end of the day, the protest-ers’ efforts also fizzled out. With impossible acoustics in the library’s North Reading Room, nobody could effectively communicate to the group. The decision to leave the room and go downstairs, one that some protesters realized only after reading The Daily Californian’s update, ended the occu-pation when participants decided to disperse. There was no damage, peo-ple left peacefully and most even picked up after themselves.
While we are glad nobody was hurt, this was a dull and uninspiring end to a supposed day of action. Organizers had the time and means to make a stronger statement while still remaining peaceful. Instead, a group of people simply stayed in the library during the hours it was open.
In the past, we have criticized more eventful protests as being too radical to garner support for higher educa-tion’s cause. Yesterday was somewhat on the other side of the spectrum. If movements continue, those in charge must keep trying to find a balance between respectful expression and displayed passion. Ultimately, it is a learning experience in and of itself.

UCs, CSUs Carry Cost of Record Budget Impasse
The California state Legislature met Thursday to vote on a budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year, hoping to end the state’s record 99-day period without an official financial plan.
The budget session began at 11 a.m. — two hours later than originally scheduled and the first in a series of delays — but as of press time SB 870, the main budget bill in the Senate, was still three votes short of passing by a two-thirds majority, though it was on call throughout the day.
“We expect the process to end either late this evening or early tomorrow,” said H.D. Palmer, deputy director of the state Department of Finance. “The Senate leaders are committed to get-ting it passed. It may take time to get there, but we fully anticipate by the end of the evening the required amount of votes to pass.”
Since July 1, the lack of a budget has immobilized traditional funding methods for several state institu-
by Kate LyonsContributing Writer
tions. Many California students have already experienced repercussions as the California Student Aid Commis-sion, responsible for distributing Cal Grants to thousands of UC and CSU students, was unable to distribute grants in the beginning of the school year.
UCs and CSUs have taken out loans and used cash reserves to fund Cal Grants, but the absence of a concrete budget continues to stall university budget and enrollment plans, accord-ing to Erik Fallis, spokesperson for the CSU system.
“An adopted state budget will help us go a long way in planning what we are doing for the rest of the year, especially for the spring quarter,” Fallis said.
Fallis also said the CSU has decided to take in up to 30,000 new students in the spring, using $106 million in federal stimulus money. If passed, the state budget would provide an additional $199 million to both CSU and UC systems to back-fill last year’s cuts.
But for now, Fallis said the CSU sys-
tem is making decisions without the guarantee of a budget.
“One of the challenges is that our calendar doesn’t line up with the state’s budget process or with what goes on in budget negotiations,” he said. “We have to make decisions now.”
According to UC spokesperson Steve Montiel, $315 million from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposal combined with $65.4 million in addi-tional funding for enrollment growth and annuitant health costs, $75 mil-lion from debt restructuring and the money from fee increases still leave a budget gap of $237 million for the year 2010-11.
“The UC has been carrying the cost of students who are not being fund-ed by the state,” he said. “We have a compact with the government that promises students will be funded by the state and the state has fiscal prob-lems. That’s why state funding isn’t here and the money has to be made up some way.”Contact Kate Lyons at [email protected].
Meeting Focuses on Improving Telegraph Avenue
As three candidates vie for the Berkeley City Council District 7 spot, discussion during a town hall meeting at Moe’s Books Wednesday evening centered around Telegraph Avenue’s revitalization as city residents, busi-ness owners and students focused their attention on issues facing the area.
Doris Moskowitz, owner of Moe’s Books and a lifelong Berkeley resident, hosted the meeting as an endorsement for District 7 candidate George Beier, calling it a forum to discuss ideas for the Telegraph area, which community members have routinely characterized as a former — and rapidly deteriorat-ing — city treasure.
District 7 includes much of the cam-pus area, including Southside, Tele-graph and People’s Park.
A panel composed of city officials as well as community and student leaders led the discussion Wednesday before a packed room on the current state of the Telegraph area and the park with a focus on business stability, safety issues and the overall Telegraph experience. Many community members not on the panel also shared their concerns and ideas for the street and larger area.
Moskowitz, a former director of the
by Hailey Parishand Sarah Springfield
Telegraph Business Improvement Dis-trict, said at the meeting that she feels she is being “dragged down” by the many obstacles facing the Telegraph community.
“As a merchant on Telegraph Av-enue, it’s hard to keep my spirits up,” she said.
A former Telegraph business owner, Beier said the meeting was motivated by a desire to address these obstacles and launch a much-needed communi-ty-based conversation and future plan of action to restore the area’s vitality.
“We have not had a meeting like that in 20 years,” he said. “There was a hunger and a need and a dream in those people.”
A large portion of the meeting was dedicated to a discussion of the dis-trict’s crime rates, which Beier said have consistently been the highest in the city at the cost of business in the area.
Roland Peterson, executive director of the Telegraph Business Improve-ment District, said potential customers are reluctant to come to Telegraph be-cause the space lacks a sense of safety.
Violent crime in the district has in fact increased 23 percent from 2004 to 2008, while property crimes have de-creased by 22 percent in the same time period, according to current District 7 Councilmember Kriss Worthington.
But Worthington said during his 14 years on the council, he has devoted himself to lowering crime rates in the Telegraph area and throughout the district, with a new, specific interest in addressing property crimes.
He did not attend the meeting. The panel and other community
members at the meeting also drew at-tention to problems that are specific to the area, often generated in nearby People’s Park, they said.
Revitalization of the park, in ad-dition to adjustments to the zoning and permit processes for the business sector, would allow the city to “come a long way to help the businesses on Telegraph,” Beier said.
Peterson additionally targeted the sector’s quota system, which limits the number of each type of business on the avenue, as breaking down the eco-nomic viability of the district.
Though no definitive plan of action was compiled at the meeting, those in attendance did seem to share the desire to continue the discussion and make changes to the district quickly.

Proposition 23: Skin-Deep Legislation, Not a Solution
Let’s face it — we've all been on a bad date or two. Each starts out decently enough; he looks good, has a job, and is relatively funny! However, it might be with the first awkward silence, or maybe the off-color joke, but inevitably you realize that you're in for a night of dodging bad breath and mind-numbing conversation.
If you went on a first date with Proposition 23 it would be a lot like this, but instead of wearing a perfect-ly tailored blazer jacket he would be wielding perfectly tailored words, deceptively designed to sweep you off your feet before you even know what's happening. So before you ven-ture out, let's sit down and I'll tell you a little more about your Match.com candidate.
Prop. 23 (or the “Jobs Initiative” as his friend's like to call him) is a piece of legis-lation that proposes to suspend AB 32, California's landmark environmen-tal policy that was created in 2006. Prop 23 claims that big businesses are spending too much money adhering to California's “strict” environmental standards — money that, according to its backers, could be better spent hiring new workers.
“So, I want to put the environmen-tal thing on hold until CA unemploy-ment rates hit below 5.5 percent for four consecutive quarters,” Prop. 23 says to you with a wink and a smile.
For a second you are wooed by his flashy words. You need a job, this ini-tiative will create jobs: a match made in heaven!
But as the date goes on, you slowly start to realize all of the things com-ing out of his mouth are complete garbage (no pun intended). A quick background check on your iPhone shows that the unemployment rate in California has been 5.5 percent or below for four consecutive quarters only three times since 1980. So, just how are all of these new jobs going to be created?
“That's easy! The businesses will use all the money they save from blowing off the environment to hire new workers.” he says.
New workers? Well, what about all the jobs in the environmental sector?
“I'm sorry?” he chokes. It’s a very basic question: How is
Prop. 23 going to create new jobs? What the legislation moves to do is destroy the 500,000 jobs already cre-ated by clean energy and, in doing so, stifle the fastest growing sector of our employment market. Since all of
by Winnie Cunningham
those people will have to be rehired eventually, isn’t it technically just moving jobs around instead of creat-ing them? Why would we want to destroy clean jobs and create more dirty ones?
As he chokes on his ice cube, it dawns on you — nothing in Prop. 23 actually makes that much sense. What is the point in derailing California’s current status as a world-wide environmental leader for just a temporary, tiny band-aid on the economy? Let’s trash the environ-ment ... so we can all work to clean it up? These realizations are ones that many Californians are having on their very own dates with Prop. 23. It makes a person wonder – how did a piece of crummy legislation like this ever make it this far in the first place?
The answer comes almost immedi-ately.
“Oh don't worry,” Prop says, as the waiter drops off the check. “Valero and Tesoro are going to foot the bill for this one.”
Oh yes, you heard me right. Prop. 23 is bankrolled by two out-of-state oil corporations. Imagine that:
wealthy companies that pollute the environment are paying tons of money so that they can continue to pol-lute the environ-ment. I don't sup-pose all that adver-tising money could be spent towards new jobs, now could it?
These companies prey upon Californians' lack of confidence in the
current economy by splattering their campaigns with words like “jobs ini-tiative” and “lower unemployment rate.” They assume that voters will only look skin-deep at the proposi-tion and simply mark yes on their ballots in hopes it might stimulate the economy enough to make a dif-ference.
So let’s just clarify — pumping 53 million more pounds of greenhouse gases into the air per year and destroying half a million current jobs is in no way going to be a boon to economic recovery.
Instead, we need to tackle climate change head on by maintaining our landmark environmental legislation and creating new jobs through clean energy.
CALPIRG, the student California Public Interest Research Group, is working to turn out students to vote down Proposition 23.
Here at UC Berkeley, CALPIRG students are going get 8,000 pledges to vote no on 23, and already have over 3,200 pledges. Statewide, CALPIRG students are going to get over 160,000 pledges to vote no on Prop. 23.
Visit www.calpirgstudents.org/berkeley to find out how you can help stop Prop 23. Let’s work together to end this oil-bankrolled terrible date with Prop. 23 once and for all.

are paying tons of money so that they can continue to pollute the

Bears Unconcerned About Perils of the Road

m. soccer
While other teams often struggle when performing outside of their home fields, the Cal men’s soccer team has appeared unfazed in road contests this season.
The No. 14 Bears (5-1-2, 1-0 in the Pac-10) have played four road contests this season. The resulting three wins and one tie garnered from its travels show that Cal is not too perplexed by a change of scenery.
“Our team has a lot of experience. We have been on the road lots of times,” senior A.J. Soares said. “We just look at it like every other game. The pressure only comes from yourself.”
Cal heads up north this weekend for a full slate of Pac-10 competition. The Bears first battle Oregon State on Fri-day, followed by a trip to Husky terri-tory in Washington on Sunday.
Oregon State (6-3-0, 1-1 in the Pac-10) defeated No. 25 San Diego State 2-1 and fell to No. 16 UCLA 4-1 last weekend. Senior forward Travis Sanchez is the Beavers’ main scoring

threat with two game-winning goals to his credit this season. Another standout forward on the squad is se-nior Brian Ramsey, who has tallied five goals this season.
Washington (6-3-1, 0-2 in the Pac-10), on the other hand, lost both of its recent games. The Bruins blanked the Huskies 1-0, followed by a 4-3 loss to the Aztecs to overtime. Stephen Fung is still a force in the net however, with a 0.781 save percentage. Junior forward Brent Richards paces his team in points with 15.
Both teams present significant chal-lenges, but Cal appears to be in a much better position standing up to their foes from the Northwest this weekend in comparison to last year’s jaunts.
After managing to score only one goal between the two contests last year, the Bears were defeated from the Bea-vers and tied the Huskies. The results of the weekend took Cal out of the race for the Pac-10 championship, a title it was picked to win.
The dismal fate of last year does not appear to be in the cards as of yet this season.

The Bears toppled Stanford from its four-game winning streak in a 3-0 shutout last weekend. This victory gathered the fifth of a five-game un-beaten streak that the Bears have un-der their belts heading into the next couple of games.
And according to Oregon State coach Steve Simmons, Cal is among the biggest contenders.
“Cal is on a hot streak right now and potentially one of the hottest teams in the country,” Simmons said in a state-ment to osubeavers.com.
Even with the numbers detailing the success of the season so far, this state-ment surprised senior defender Scot VanBuskirk.
“We have been playing so well as a team,” he said. “We have been stepping up, pushing and fighting for every game. (The fact that) other coaches are recognizing that is good to see. Hopefully we can continue to turn heads and show them what we have here at Cal.”
sports in BriefMorgan Makes Case for U.S. Team Spot With Goal
Alex Morgan, senior forward for the Cal women’s soccer team, may have put herself one step closer to a spot on the U.S., squad for the Women’s World Cup next year.
At a national team training camp in Pennsylvania, Morgan netted her first in-ternational goal to earn the U.S., a 1-1 tie against China on Oct. 6. The goal came
in the 83rd minute, just 12 minutes after Morgan was subbed into the match. This match was the final U.S. exhibi-tion prior to the CONCACAF Women’s World Cup qualifying tournament at the end of this month. The game was there-fore Morgan’s final opportunity to per-form for coach Pia Sundhage before she finalizes her roster for the tournament. Morgan will be back in Cal uniform by Sunday to play against USC, according to coach Neil McGuire. —Alex Matthews
Yevelev from baCk
Just one year removed from hav-ing the nation’s most anemic ground attack, the Bruins are firing off some absurd rushing numbers.
In five games this fall, Rick Neuheisel’s club is just 100 rushing yards away from equalling its 2009 total of 1490. Last season, eight dif-ferent backs outran the UCLA team.
During Tuesday’s media press conference, made no secret about what is behind the sudden success down south. (A hint: it's the scheme, stupid.)
“I think it’s a product of the pistol, actually, I really do,” coach Jeff Ted-ford said. “Because I think they’ve always had good running backs and it seems like they’re really gaining momentum with it.”
If this were an identification ques-tion, it'd be spot on.
UCLA spent much of 2009 alter-nating between Derrick Coleman and Johnathan Franklin as a primary runner with little consistent success, all the while trying to fruitlessly develop Kevin Prince into a pure pocket passer.
And while the team's ghastly pass-ing statistics may still give Neuhei-sel — a former Bruin signal-caller — nightmares, from time to time, he now has a trio of potent rushing threats to work with.
Over-pursue either of the tail-backs, and Prince, now healthy, has the ability to take off running — just like he did for a 38-yard touchdown rumble on the road against then-No. 7 Texas.
“It looks like they're getting much more comfortable with what's going on,” Tedford says.
The Bruins running their pistol offense? Certainly.
Cal being able to defend it? We’ll find that out on Saturday.
Take a deep breath, and relax. Your exam begins now.
right behind Murrey in the Pac-10 kill per sets leaders, while 6-foot-4 Lauren Williams follows Hawari amongst hit-ting percentage leaders.
The Bears have already played teams with the Trojans’ offensive style, which consists of high sets to the antennas, but not a team as talented as USC.
“I’m going to focus ... on getting balls up, maximum effort stopping their big hitters,” libero Robin Rostratter said.
Rostratter, who should also be fully recovered after her collision with Mur-rey last weekend, will be further tested by the serving of the L.A., schools.
According to Feller, both squads have jump spin servers. The serve, which he said is “like taking an attack from the back court,” involves a high toss and has an increased speed.
The tricky serves are even more of a reason that Cal needs to remain fo-cused throughout both matches, un-like last weekend.
If not, the Bears may have to fight off the Trojan fight song in their heads the whole journey home.

Bears Need to Be on Alert for Both Matches During L.A. Trip
Last weekend the No. 7 Cal volley-ball team could afford to have an off game against lowly Oregon State after dismantling then-No. 11 Oregon the previous night.
When the Bears (14-0, 4-0 in the Pac-10) travel to Los Angeles this weekend to face No. 12 UCLA and No. 8 USC, they won’t have that luxury.
“Unfortunately we treat teams dif-ferently,” middle hitter Shannon Ha-wari said. “That’s something we need to be better at. This weekend should be a test: show up for both (matches).”
That exam commences at Pauley Pavilion tonight at 7 p.m., against the Bruins (11-3, 1-2) and concludes to-morrow with the Trojans (13-1, 2-1) at 7 p.m., at the Galen Center.
Coach Rich Feller is not worried about his squad’s focus going into what he considers to be the most difficult road trip in the Pac-10.
“We’re the underdogs ... we’re on the road and we’re against two very highly ranked teams,” Feller said. “So

that automatically allows us to be very, very focused on both of the matches.”
When asked about L.A., where the Bears were swept last season, Feller had three memories come to mind: UCLA’s “scrappy defense,” USC’s high-lob of-fense and the Trojan fight song, played during “every minute of the match.”
The defensive-minded Bruins lead the conference in digs with 16.11 per set, almost a full dig more than the next-closest team. UCLA also fea-tures the conference’s block leader in 6-foot-4 junior Katie Camp.
The Bruins, however, have not faced an offense as prolific as the Bears’.
Junior outside hitter Tarah Murrey, who should be 100-percent after bruis-ing her thigh in a collision during Fri-day’s match, is the reigning Pac-10 Play-er of the Week. Meanwhile, Hawari has turned her thunderous spikes into an art form. Hawari’s .472 hitting percent-age is good for second in the country.
USC, though, boasts a outside hitter-middle hitter combo as lethal as Cal’s.

Fool Me Once, Shame on You. Fool Me Twice...

I t’s been getting real tense here at UC Berkeley.
Not the protests, walk-outs or pulled fire alarms.
No, I’m talking about midterm tension — the full libraries, the caffeine-consumption, the nocturnal existence, the ever-drooping eye bags.
You know, that magical couple of weeks where the student body tries its best to display what it has learned over the past month and a half (or frantically memorized over the last hour and a half.)
The Cal football team’s situation is no different. In fact, Saturday’s contest against UCLA is more like a retake midterm of sorts.
When the Bears’ defenders first took on a pistol attack against Nevada last month, the boys in all white uniforms resembled the results of an unproductive procrastination session.
In other words, lots and lots of aimless guessing.
Cal did an adequate job of holding down running back Vai Taua for much of the night. Only problem was, he was all too often a decoy for the Wolf Pack’s Colin Kaepernick, who could run a bit, as well — 148 yards and three touchdowns worth of running.
Woof. Kaepernick darted left when the
Bears guessed right, and bolted to the right when they bit left. On his one yard touchdown run, Cal simply froze and couldn’t even commit to one direction — not unlike a flummoxed student, staring at his bluebook on exam day.
This weekend’s Homecoming Game offers the team another shot, to see how much the Bears — with a full week off — have reviewed their notes on the pistol.
Tailback Shane Vereen was asked on Tuesday how the Cal football team was getting ready for its tilt against UCLA in light of the Bruins’ remarkably in-consistent season thus far.
“(They’re) a little Jekyll and Hyde,” Vereen said. “Prepare for their best.”
And hope for their worst.The game acts as the second act of
Cal’s play against the pistol offense, and the Bears (2-2, 0-1 in the Pac-10) are certainly hoping for a better ending than the first.
In their ugliest effort of the sea-son, Cal was trashed by Nevada quar-terback Colin Kaepernick, who ran, skipped and sometimes threw his way to 329 yards of offense against the hapless Bear defense. This Saturday at 12:30 p.m., UCLA (3-2, 2-1) brings its own variation of the pistol — which has been running on all cylinders of

late — to Memorial Stadium.“The only thing I think is different
is (Bruin quarterback Kevin Prince) can still make some yards with his legs, (but) it’s not Kaepernick,” Cal head coach Jeff Tedford said. “Kaepernick broke some long runs on us and hope-fully if Prince pulls it down and runs it, we can track him down for some minimal gains and not let huge plays happen on us.”
Prince, who’s averaging just 71.2 yards passing per game in spite of high-scoring wins over Houston and then-No. 7 Texas, probably shouldn’t be Cal’s primary concern. After an of-fensively anemic performance against then-No. 14 Arizona two weeks ago, it’s the Bruin defense that should be light-ing up its monitors.
In linebacker Akeem Ayers and safety Rahim Moore, the Bears face two of the best athletes on defense they’ll see all season, adding an extra challenge to what is already a pressure-filled con-
test.Cal has a lot to prove on offense
this weekend. After breezing through its first two opponents, the Bears hit a major stumbling block in the Wolf Pack and then the Wildcats, resulting in their reputation taking something of a hit as well. In order to gain back some respect, the Bears — who aver-aged four yards per carry and per pass in Arizona — will need to strike fast and often against the Bruins.
“They’re a great run-stopping team because they play fast, they play hard, they play physical,” Vereen said. “They have a great front seven, and because they play their safeties low, their safe-ties support the run very well. With their combination of the defenses they run, the blitzes, it makes it very difficult for runners to get started against them.
“Taking that into consideration, it’s going to be a tough, grinder game for us.”
Cal’s put particular emphasis on red zone efficiency this week in practice, and for good reason. Against Arizona, the Bears ventured into the red zone three times; not once did they score a touchdown. They also learned first
hand the sting of not capitalizing on those opportunities.
“Watching some of the games on Sat-urday, you could see that every game is going to be a fight, just like our game with Arizona,” Riley said. “Are you go-ing to make enough plays throughout the game at the end of the game to win those games?
“Just like those games are all close games, hard fought, and that’s what the Pac-10 is going to be like this year, every single game.”
But there’s more than redemption for the last two weeks on the line. Should Cal drop this game, it will go 0-2 to begin Pac-10 play, virtually rul-ing out any hopes of winning a confer-ence championship.
“I don’t know if it’s just urgency for the Pac-10, I think it’s urgency just for our entire season, because we’ve lost the last two,” Vereen said. “We don’t want to feel rushed, we don’t want to feel pressure, but I think we all under-stand that we need to get a win this Saturday.”

finally faces No. 2 UCLA, the only MPSF powerhouse it hasn’t crossed paths with yet this season, this Satur-day at 10 a.m., in Spieker Aquatics Complex.
“Communication is going to be re-ally important for us this weekend to beat UCLA,” coach Kirk Everist said.
Cal (10-2) seeks to continue its re-surgence on day two of last week’s SoCal Tournament into the contest with the Bruins. While the Bears were toppled by Irvine on day one, a notice-able change occurred the next day.
“The difference between their en-ergy and synchronicity from Saturday to Sunday was just night and day,” Everist said. “We’re hoping we gleaned from (last) weekend how well we can play for each other, not just with each

other.”The intense teamwork responsible
for the shift in gears led to day two stomps on Pacific and Stanford of 15-3 and 13-9, respectively. Pacific’s game against UCLA (8-2) last weekend was a much closer 13-11 loss.
While there is no transitive prop-erty in water polo that can accurately predict the outcome of games, it’s clear that Cal can conquer very capable teams if it continues to click.
“I’m hoping they saw that it’s not daunting to talk and play and com-municate at the same time, and how much easier it made the game for them,” Everist said. “They were mak-ing the offense think about multiple things which leads to mistakes and hopefully, they can continue down that road.”
Another key to Saturday’s show-down will be successfully mixing the veteran Bears with the cubs.
“UCLA’s team is generally built around good team speed,” Everist said. “When we’ve struggled with them over the last few years it’s been because of their speed, swimming our centers and getting advantages out of that.”
Cal’s offseason recruiting efforts
have taken measures to counteract that weakness. Collin Smith, Matt Golden and Hunter Gettelfinger are among the new additions who have a lot of end-to-end speed, according to Everist.
Thus far, the Bears more often than not group the veterans into one unit and the younger players into another, substituting the entire or almost the full squads for each other.
While it’s critical to have experi-enced players in the pool who may be slower, they must be balanced with the youth able to get back quickly in tran-sition.
“By chasing, you create instabilities in your defense once you get into the half court,” Everist said. “That’s going be really important that we can estab-lish defense and not be scrambling all the time.”
Both of the Bruins’ losses this sea-son have come in the championship matches of the NorCal and SoCal Tournaments and both times were by a single goal against No. 1 USC.
“It’ll be a challenge for our guys for sure,” Everist said.
