Child Care

Faculty members eligible for new Back-Up Care program starting this summerBy Katie Nelson | Senior Staffknelson@dailycal.org

UC Berkeley officials announced Wednesday that faculty members will be eligible for a new backup care program for children and adults beginning this summer, following extensive negotiations between campus officials and an interna-tional child care service.

Beginning July 1, faculty members will be eligible to use 40 total hours of care — called the Back-Up Care Advantage Pro-gram — for the year through a campus partnership with Bright Horizons Family Solutions, a center that provides backup care for both children and adults or el-ders in times when faculty need to work and regular child, adult or elder care is unavailable. The program, which partners with local child care and adult centers, also offers the option of having Bright Horizons employees come directly to the home.

A pilot program with Bright Horizons was originally launched in March 2009 for all assistant professors, and according to Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Eq-uity Angelica Stacy, due to “overwhelming positive feedback,” former Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Faculty Welfare Sheldon Zedeck negotiated with Bright Horizons to expand the program’s con-tract while Chancellor Robert Birgeneau helped to provide the funding to continue the program, which will now run through June 30, 2021.

“You can imagine when both parents are working, things can be quite stressful,” Stacy said. “Parents are trying to do it all, and while for right now (the program) is just for faculty, we do feel that we’re com-mitted to possibly offering something like this for our staff in the future.”

Stacy added that the program is unique in the sense that it allows faculty to simply sign up for the program without paying a registration fee. Instead, faculty will only have to pay for the requested care by the hour.

“Bright Horizons originally made an es-timate of how many people could use the service, and we far exceeded it,” she said. “It’s so popular, and many more people use it than predicted. The need is there.”

Currently, the program is only offered to faculty members because of issues sur-rounding how much the campus can pay to keep the program in operation. When the California Legislature made massive state cuts to child care services in October for the 2010-11 fiscal year, the campus had to implement cuts to its programs to be able to support itself financially while still being able to make the necessary utilities payments the campus requires for utiliza-tion of its seven child care centers.

While Stacy said there is a possibility of offering backup care services to staff in the future and that the UC Office of the Presi-dent is also looking to possibly incorpo-rate the program systemwide, ultimately everything comes down to money and the ability to offer the program to more people

hunger Strike

Last Monday morning, remnants of chalking efforts on the pavement in front of California Hall were the only tangible indicators in the area of the 12-day hunger strike that had concluded the evening before.

By the time of the strike’s termination on May 8, the remaining hunger strikers had not been given any of their demands, which were first stated by the original group of about 12 demonstrators who had sworn them-selves to empty stomachs on April 26 to protest the staff consolidations in UC Berkeley’s departments of gender and women’s studies, African American studies and eth-nic studies.

The strikers demanded the campus reinstate the full-time staff positions cut in the Ethnic Studies Depart-ment as a result of the Operational Excellence organiza-tional simplification initiative, end the current process of Operational Excellence, support a California legislative resolution advocating for ethnics studies in the state and “publicly (acknowledging) the unfulfilled promise of the creation of a Third World College at UC Berkeley.”

But after two groups of five representatives for the hun-ger strikers met with Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclu-sion Gibor Basri and Dean of the Division of Social Sciences Carla Hesse and failed to have any of the demands met — and only the last two being deemed by the administration to be the “most feasible” to address — hunger strikers eventu-ally tapered off in front of California Hall.

“To agree to symbolic gestures without solid actions to back up your investment in our departments is to make empty promises,” a May 3 letter from the strikers states. “We will continue striking until we see acknowledge-ment that all four demands which are both well within reach of the UC Berkeley administration and are acted upon in good faith.”

Tan Hall chemical accident resulted from experiment

CaMpuS Safety

An accident resulting from a chemical engineering experiment performed in Tan Hall last Monday morn-ing sent one student to the hospital with moderate in-juries.

The incident — which was originally reported to UCPD as a small chemical explosion — was reported at approximately 9:38 a.m. on Monday. The 23-year-old male student who sustained the injuries was soon transported to Highland General Hospital in Oakland for treatment. However, according to Michael Kumpf, director of the College of Chemistry’s Environment, Health, Safety and Security program, the reported incident was not a chemical explosion but rather a chemical overpressure in an experiment that was be-ing performed by a chemical engineering research group.

“When you use the term explosion, that implies and technically means that you initiated some chemical, usually an explosive or an explosive gas ... and that chemical actually burns, explodes, and causes usually some pretty significant collateral damage,” Kumpf said.

According to Kumpf, the chemical being used in the experiment needs to be kept at a very low temperature to keep it in a liquid state. But during the course of the experiment, the temperature approached the level at which the chemical turned into a gaseous form, which

“When that sealed glass reac-tor sees that kind of overpres-sure, it can only contain it for a certain amount of time or a cer-tain amount of pressure,” he said. “When the pressure gets too big, it can burst that glass reactor, and that’s what happened.”

According to Brandon DeFran-cisci, associate director of training, emergency response and audit pro-grams in the campus’s Office of En-vironment, Health and Safety, the injured student was released from Highland Hospital last Tuesday morning.

Kumpf said this is not the first time such an incident has occurred at UC Berkeley.

In roughly the last 50 times this experiment has been run over the course of this year, this was the first time such an accident occurred, he said.

“In a research environment, overpressures can happen,” he said. “It’s certainly not the first time in a research environment, not specifically this one, but in a research environment it can hap-pen. So I wouldn’t say it’s terribly unique.”

Hearing for hikers accused of spying delayed again

The latest scheduled hearing for three UC Berkeley alumni Iranian officials have accused of spying was again postponed last Wednesday.

Neither Shane Bauer nor Josh Fattal — who have been detained in Iran for nearly two years — was ever brought to the courtroom Wednes-day for the scheduled hearing in their ongoing trial, according to ma-jor media outlets. Though the reason for Bauer and Fattal’s absence is not ultimately known, the pair’s lawyer,

Masoud Shafie, is reported to have lodged a formal protest against the trial’s delay.

Bauer, Fattal and Bauer’s fi-ance, Sarah Shourd, were arrested by Iranian officials in 2009 for al-legedly spying while hiking along the Iran-Iraq border. Shourd was released on $500,000 bail in Sep-tember after discovering a lump in her breast. She did not appear for the last trial date that was sched-uled in February. ...

OFF THE BEAT

Apathy, a constant threat

Chris Haughchaugh@dailycal.org

an even higher premium of $25,000 per year since April.

Yet, we should all notice that most of the dialogue around the future of the university revolves around “ifs,” and “coulds.” Nothing is definitive yet. A school can bounce back from a 2 percent budget dip. Students can han-dle cramped class rooms for a few more semesters. Professors can sit on their salaries for a year longer.

But we should get active.We should follow the lead of

California’s K-12 teachers and head to Sacramento, or even Washington for that matter, and commence letter writing campaigns, teach-ins, fund-raising, etc. Maybe even an ASUC-elected Anti-Divestment Coordinator?

There is no doubt that higher edu-cation is expensive and that in

this day and age, the state cannot, and should not, pay a hundred cents on the dollar for talented students to go to college. That was a model for a bygone era. Yet if California still believes in the tenets of public educa-tion (accessibility, excellence, etc.), then we need to fight for it.

Or maybe I have it totally wrong. Maybe we just don’t know what to say. Yes, accessibility is good. Yes, it’s nice to boast the best public institution in the world. But so what? California is facing 12 percent unemployment. Money is tight and the university will just have to tighten its belt like everybody else.

Well that’s just short sighted.Last year, the California State

University system released a report which revealed California’s public school system’s “secret weapon.” The report showed that the CSU system as a whole creates $17 billion dollars for California, reduces unemployment for graduates and generates the higher taxes that they pay on the better jobs they are qualified for as a result of their education. In fact, for every $1 invested in the CSU’s, the system returns $5.43 in benefits to the state.

Call me a UC snob, but I’d assume our numbers are similar if not better. Companies like Apple and Google are flush with UC Berkeley alums.

Not only do we have an obvious witch’s brew of potential calamities to fear, but we have a message and empirical evidence that higher edu-cation pays to back it up. So what’s stopping us?

All bets are off,” that’s one phrase that should scare the heck out of all University of

California students and aspiring UC students. Especially when it comes from the one, the only, UC President Mark Yudof.

Testifying in front of the state Senate’s budget committee, Yudof uttered those foreboding words as the university absorbs a $500 million dol-lar cut which could balloon to $1 bil-lion before the year is up. Yes, that was $1 billion with a B if Gov. Jerry Brown can’t get his tax extensions through the recalcitrant state legislature.

“It took over a hundred years to build these great institutions, but they can be destroyed,” a maudlin Yudof concluded.

It seems like more and more stu-dents take a good hard look at those numbers and feel numb. Let me share a quick anecdote. It’s March 29, 2011, and the night before, Gov. Brown had announced that he had given up on getting the tax extensions on the June ballot, which means the $1 billion dol-lar cut came into sharp relief against the amorphous blob of budgetary threats. That morning I stormed onto campus expecting crowds of protest-ers, heated conversations with disap-pointed friends and brief lectures on state budgets by concerned Professors before class.

But what I found was a placid campus.

Walking through campus the last few weeks, you would think that Berkeley wasn’t teetering on the edge of a proverbial budgetary cliff, waiting to hear its fate passed down from the state legislature.

It appears as if a pervading sense of apathy has infected the campus, leav-ing us nonplussed by the never ceas-ing parade of bad news coming out of Sacramento and the President’s Office in Oakland, which is crazy to me. One day we’re ready to tear down California Hall, polished marble brick by polished marble brick, the next we’re content lounging on Memorial Glade without a care in the world. Maybe we are suffering from protest fatigue. Or maybe the seemingly unre-lenting budget bludgeoning we’ve received over the past few years has inoculated us against apocalyptic news. Or maybe it’s just been the threat of finals. But for some reason, we’ve collectively gone quiet.

Regardless, this is real. Other, more well-endowed schools are recruit-

ing away our professors. Our differed maintenance costs are backlogged in the hundreds of millions. Class sizes are grossly too big. Entire depart-ments are being cut.

But if anything will snap us out of our budget cut malaise, it’s this: Yudof has confirmed that if these cuts become reality, there is a good chance university tuition could jump to $20,000 a year. Think that’s just hyperbole? Gov. Brown has estimated

Sports bar to open on Telegraph AvenueBusiness

About three months ago, Larry Blake’s Restaurant and Bar was board-ed up after 71 years of service to the Berkeley community.

Now, a new posting stands out on the wooden facing that conceals what was once a vibrant dining establish-ment — a notice of proposed develop-ment by the site’s new vendor, Pappy’s Grill & Sports Bar.

“They’ve gutted the place,” said John Lineweaver, owner of the property. “Nothing is left of the old Blake’s at this point — it’s huge.”

Located at 2367 Telegraph Ave. near its intersection with Durant Avenue, just a little over one block away from the UC Berkeley campus, the space is currently undergoing major remod-eling efforts in preparation for the opening Pappy’s, including removal of the mezzanine that existed in the old restaurant, Lineweaver said. The new grill is set to open by mid-August.

After failing to overcome the results of business decisions that Lineweaver said caused the old establishment to “lose its focus,” as well as the ailing economy, Blake’s permanently shut its doors Feb. 4.

Since that time, Lineweaver said he received two other formal offers from

businesses seeking to fill the space and that by March, he and Pappy’s had signed the lease, which Lineweaver said will last for 10 years, with oppor-tunities for extension.

Lineweaver said the new grill will not feature live music and disc jockeys as Blake’s did. He said the grill’s deci-sion to feature such attractions were a detracting factor to both other busi-

nesses and local residents, partly by virtue of the late night crowds it drew to the Telegraph area.

“We have 44 apartments upstairs,” he said. “Music is a little disruptive.”

Of the two other offers, he said one was also for food service while the other had proposed using the space for a cloth-ing-oriented business. Lineweaver was

“The impact of further cuts would be devastating to California’s economic vitality and to current and future generations.”

—Kim Polese, Tech Net member

in the same light as other student groups on campus, it is impossi-ble to deny their strong foothold in student government.

A spending reform bill is both welcome and necessary for the advancement of accountability and transparency in the ASUC. Now that this initial bill has failed, we strongly urge the ASUC to consider amending or rewrit-ing it in the upcoming year. This will ultimately lead to better rep-resentation through a more informed student body.

It is up to the parties to extend their level of service to the stu-dents they represent in the ASUC by passing a spending reform bill. Even if some of the concerns in the original reform bill are inade-quately addressed, the parties need to find a solution and move forward. Failure to do so in the future implies that the parties pri-oritize maintaining majorities over ensuring accountability.

Transparency is absolutely nec-essary in all levels of government so that our leaders can be held responsible. It is now up to the incoming senators to accomplish what their predecessors failed to do: pass a spending reform bill in the spirit of transparency and better representation.

Running without the back-ing of a major student political party puts ASUC

candidates at a financial disad-vantage. Unsurprisingly, the authors of a defeated spending reform bill in the ASUC were third-party and independent sen-ators. The bill received just a handful of votes because the major parties stood against great-er transparency and equal access in ASUC elections.

While there are already restric-tions on campaign expenditures for individual candidates, the bill would have placed a $500 limit on party expenses. Though there may have been legitimate con-cerns over the wording of the bill, these concerns should have been discussed, debated and resolved.

More transparency in the way the parties run their respective candidates’ campaigns only ensures fairer, more democratic elections. ASUC senators and executives should prioritize open elections over party dominance. Party leaders have an obligation to make elections more transpar-ent, and failure to do so is unac-ceptable.

Although Student Action Senator Michael Bloch believes that the parties should be viewed

support for a cause. These methods are not defined by contention but by cooperative engagement aimed at finding solutions.

By immediately offering to meet with the strikers, the administrators demonstrated that they can act in good faith when dealing with protesters. We commend them for that.

But perhaps a hunger strike would not have been necessary to begin with if lines of com-munication were more open throughout the entire consoli-dation process.

Students deserve to know why budgets are being cut and departments are being consoli-dated, not simply that they are going to happen. They also deserve to have a voice in the cuts process.

The administration set the correct tone in response to this hunger strike, and we hope it will continue.

As the campus faces austerity measures, students must remember to be reasonable in their demands, and the adminis-tration should remain transpar-ent in its budgetary process to avoid future demonstrations like the hunger strike.

After 12 days, a hunger strike that began April 26 against the consoli-

dation of the gender studies, ethnic studies and African-American studies departments ended without the campus administration meeting any of the strikers’ demands. The strike should have taken less contentious forms in order to garner more public support.

Those protesting the consoli-dation should study the exam-ple set by the five athletics teams that faced termination but overcame the proposed cuts through extensive outreach programs and fundraising efforts. The athletics teams realized the difficulty of the sit-uation and proactively took measures to ensure that they would still be on campus in the years to come.

Although education is slightly different, the underlying princi-ple remains the same: support-ers of the departments should reach out to academics, alumni of the three departments and education advocates in general.

OpinionPresident Trump is a nightmareOP-ED

By Brit MollerSpecial to the Daily Calopinion@dailycal.org

So I’m sleeping peacefully one night until a dark thought pops into my mind: what if

after what seems like the 30th sea-son finale of “The Apprentice” Donald Trump wryly declares, “Barack Obama, you’re fired! Today, I am happy to officially announce that I’m running for president of the United States.” If you were wonder-ing, I did not sleep very well after that bombshell.

To be clear, the crucial problem with Donald Trump is not his hair, outright arrogance or even the fact that his business career has consist-ed of some wild ups and downs.

Those are all reasons why anyone should not be president.

But Trump is indeed a unique man with a special set of skills. He is a successful TV host and populist — which in truth are not too far apart — with little respect for the political opinions of most Americans. Yet somehow he’s still on top, leading Republican contenders in some polls.

In any case, there is a telling say-ing that “a politician’s words reveal less about what he thinks about his subject than what he thinks about his audience.” Assuming politicians indeed pander to voters by saying what they think voters want to hear, what are we to make of Trump’s interview from April 14 with Fox News conservative pundit Sean Hannity, who asked what qualities make him a “conservative person?”

In reply, Trump blithely said the following: “Well, I think I have great values. I think I really have a great solid strong value. I love this coun-try. I feel so strongly about this country. I love people that work.”

Really? Not even a single word about your stances on either social or fiscal issues when defining con-servative?

The obvious implication of his remark here is that a liberal is someone who dislikes this country and dislikes people who are employed.

Even staunch conservatives ought to find such a response as falling somewhere in between idiotic and childish.

But perhaps that’s why he is best known today for being the host of “The Apprentice.” Ironically, it’s his

job to pander to his audience. In fact, he seems to be quite adept at giving people exactly what they want to hear and see, as he will almost surely let you know. In just about every interview over the last few weeks, for instance, Trump has made a point of telling the host how high the ratings are for his show. “It’s a great show”, he repeatedly says, “and it’s got phe-nomenal ratings.”

Such showmanship points to one undeniable fact: Trump’s job has never required him to answer any serious questions with even a tinge of honesty. Instead, he gets to pick who wins and loses and critique others without ever wor-rying about such criticism being returned.

This bossy television role, in turn, is likely what made him the most fitting and outspoken “Birther.” He explicitly stated that there was good reason to believe the president was not born in this country, despite the fact that all serious politicians, regardless of party, rejected this lie long before the long version birt certificate

was released. But since such ridiculous remarks

invariably attract media attention, as the Charlie Sheen phenomenon has illustrated quite nicely, Trump is presumably under the delusional impression that people wanted to hear it.

But the truth is most Americans do not want to hear this garbage. And yet, his words and actions sug-gest that he thinks we like such populist and unfounded claims.

Simply put, Donald Trump clear-ly does not think very highly of Americans.

He apparently believes ridiculous messages, such as a conservative is somebody who really loves the country or the president may not be an American citizen, are going “to sell” and win him votes. Unfortunately for him, this marks the latest big mistake in his already tumultuous career.

One might rightly say Donald Trump is in his “happy place” when he sits comfortably behind a vintage oak desk and screams, “You’re fired.” Now let’s just hope he stays there and gets nowhere near the resolute desk in the Oval Office — alas, that would be a nightmare that trumps them all.

State bill aims for increased transparencyHigHer education

By Allie Bidwell | Senior Staffabidwell@dailycal.org

The state Senate Education Com-mittee approved legislation Wednes-day that would increase transparency and accountability in California’s public higher education institutions.

Senate Bill 8 — authored by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco — passed by a 7-1 vote and would require auxiliary organizations within the University of California, California State University and California Com-munity Colleges systems to adhere to state public records laws.

The California Public Records Act requires state and local agencies to make their records available for public inspection and to make copies available upon request and payment of a fee unless those records are ex-

empt from disclosure.The bill would extend the act to

include auxiliary organizations that receive public funds from or perform government functions on state cam-puses.

Auxiliary organizations would be required to comply with the act but would not be required to disclose in-formation obtained in the process of soliciting potential donors that have “actual or potential independent eco-nomic value because it is not gener-ally known to the public or because the individuals can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use.”

Though a previous version of the bill overwhelmingly passed through the legislature, it was vetoed by former gov-ernor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has said that it would not be an adequate remedy for ensuring that there is proper transparency in the UC system.

UC officials have agreed with Schwarzenegger’s position that the bill would inappropriately extend public oversight laws to private orga-nizations.

However, Yee said in a statement that he is confident that the bill will be signed into law, should it reach Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk.

“I am confident that unlike his pre-decessor, Governor Jerry Brown will match his action with his rhetoric and sign this bill into law,” Yee said in the statement. “Our public universities should not be allowed to hide billions of dollars without any accountabil-ity. Most of these auxiliaries are fully staffed by public employees who ad-minister public funds, yet their deci-sions are made in complete secrecy. Taxpayers and students deserve bet-ter.”

Program: Service will be only for faculty to maintain price rates

while maintaining contractual bene-fits with Bright Horizons.

The campus has decided to keep the program available to faculty only, due to concern that it would not be able to maintain the same price rates if it expanded availability to staff members.

“I spoke with (Angelica Stacy) and we think it’s best to keep the contract amount confidential,” said Wendy Nishikawa, the campus’s work/life program manager, in an email. “The reason for this being we got an in-credibly good deal for the backup care program with our vendor and we are concerned that if this amount was

made public, it might impact them negatively in their negotiations with other companies or universities.”

Still, those who have the program available to them said it has offered more flexibility in scheduling and trav-eling and that payment for care, which must be a minimum of four hours per program, is extremely inexpensive.

Chelsea Specht, an assistant pro-fessor of plant and microbial biology, has been using the program since the pilot program launched two years ago to help her coordinate work conflicts when her daughter needs care, espe-cially during Specht’s travels.

She said that while the total cost to

use the program is between $15 and $20 each time, the campus’s assis-tance in paying for the service allows her to pay only $4 — should a compa-ny employee to come to her home to watch her 2-year-old daughter — and only $2 should she take her daughter to a child care center.

“(The program) is probably the easi-est things I have ever had to deal with in my life,” she said. “I can use this in situations when traveling or other emergencies. Even if my daughter is sick, they can come to take care of her while I am at work if need be.”

strikers: Staff affected by cuts still work elsewhere on campus

that the campus made itself available for discussion with those involved in the demonstration throughout the duration of the strike.

“We were moved by the concern students have shown for the conse-quences of the current budget crisis on campus staff and staff in these academic departments in particular,” she said in the email.

Marco Amaral, a student organizer for the strike, did not respond to re-peated requests for comment. Other protesters that were contacted were not able to comment as of press time.

According to Gilmore, staff reduc-tions and “other efficiency measures” result from cuts in the state’s budget.

“Operational Excellence is designed for our campus to manage the budget challenges in a strategic way that helps us handle these cuts without destroy-ing access, excellence and core servic-es, especially those affecting students,” Gilmore said in the email.

Over the past few years, the cam-pus has faced a deteriorating bud-get, impacted by severe state cuts to higher education as well as the economic downturn. Though the campus has attempted to combat the budget crises, students have still felt the impacts of the cuts in reduced li-brary hours, reduced class offerings and increases in tuition costs for the UC system.

Most recently on March 24, Gov. Jerry Brown approved a $500 mil-lion cut each to both the UC and CSU

systems. Brown has warned that more cuts could follow if other measures are not taken to further close the state’s bud-get deficit.

Gilmore add-ed that so far, only one full-time staff in the ethnic studies d e p a r t m e n t has been laid off and that the individual had been temporar-ily placed in an-other position on campus.

A d d i t i o n -ally, there has only been one elimination of a part-time staff member, though the person still maintains an-other part-time job on campus, and there have been some positions that had their working hours reduced, Gilmore said in the email.

Overall, all those affected by the cuts are still employed on campus in other positions, according to Gilmore.

“The (UC) Berkeley campus has

one of the earliest and strongest Eth-nic Studies departments,” she said in the email. “We value that history and intend to maintain and increase its intellectual stature.”

PaPPy’s: Grill’s name reminiscent of famed Cal football coach

convinced by Pappy’s owners, who he described as “young and energetic and well-capitalized.”

“I wanted it to remain a restaurant because it’s a natural location for a restaurant,” Lineweaver said.

According to Lineweaver, the new grill’s name is reminiscent of Lynn “Pappy” Waldorf, a Cal football head coach famed for his winning record. Until being outdone by current head coach Jeff Tedford in 2010, Waldorf held the most career victories of any Cal football head coach in the mod-ern era.

Additionally, Pappy’s announced in

March that it has agreed to host the Cal men’s basketball post-game radio show.

City Councilmember Kriss Wor-thington, whose district includes the site where Pappy’s will open, said he expects the new vendor to be met with a positive reception, in part due to the positive association with its name.

“It has a cross-generational appeal that I think should be successful,” Worthington said. “It will draw a wide range of people.“

Although several storefronts on Telegraph Avenue shut down as the

economy floundered over the last few years, Worthington said he has already observed a rise in the success of local business recently, citing the opening of CREAM and the relatively short time span required for Pappy’s to fill the vacancy left by Blake’s as examples.

“There’s been a significant inter-est in people investing in Telegraph,” Worthingon said. “I’m looking for-ward to the next year or two being significantly better than the last few years.”

Professor Healey’s denial of tenure is not right

By Sarah HinesSpecial to the Daily Calopinion@dailycal.org

As the semester comes to a close, our campus is quietly losing a great scholar, teacher and men-

tor: Assistant Professor of History Mark Healey. In his eight years at Berkeley, Professor Healey has taught Latin American history to hundreds of undergraduate students, advised doz-ens of graduate students and pub-lished a remarkable book that bridges the history of politics, architecture and environmental disaster.

A scholar of twentieth-century Argentina, Professor Healey helped build a graduate program in modern Latin American history, making Berkeley’s Latin American history pro-gram one of the best in the country. He also served as a crucial resource to graduate students in other depart-ments working on Latin American topics. Many of his graduate students came to Berkeley specifically to work with him, drawn to his scholarly exper-tise as well as his reputation as a great adviser.

Last year, Professor Healey was awarded the Sarlo Distinguished Graduate Student Mentoring Award, an honor usually awarded to only two scholars university wide. Those of us who nominated him and celebrated with him last May were stunned and outraged by the decision handed down a month later to deny him ten-ure, a determination that seemingly overruled the recommendations of his colleagues in the history depart-ment, the university ad hoc tenure committee and a dozen outside eval-uators.

In response, more than 30 of Professor Healey’s students wrote to the Dean of Arts and Humanities, Janet Broughton, and other univer-sity officials urging a reconsideration of this verdict. Should it stand, we explained, this ruling would threaten the progress of his graduate students, rob the campus of an exceptional professor and essentially dismantle Berkeley’s modern Latin American history graduate program. The only response we have gotten is the failure

to reverse their decision.Last month, more than 40 current

and former students wrote to Andrew J. Szeri, Dean of the Graduate Division, and Angelica Stacy, Acting Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Faculty Welfare and Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Equity. We questioned the university leadership’s professed commitment to graduate mentorship in light of its denial of tenure to last year’s Sarlo Junior Faculty Award winner, a decision that can send the modern Latin American History program he served into hibernation. This time we did receive a response that failed to account for the administration’s actions.

I am writing on behalf of more than forty of Professor Healey’s cur-rent and former students to ensure that this situation is brought to the attention of the campus community at large.

Professor Healey’s departure is a great loss and represents a failure of the campus to uphold its commit-ment to graduate education and scholarly excellence. No one is better placed to judge a professor’s merit than his colleagues, but here the cam-pus’s participatory tenure process was seeimingly disrupted as the care-fully considered recommendations of his colleagues in the history depart-ment, on the ad hoc committee and at peer institutions — not to mention those of his students — were simply brushed aside.

Professor Healey was quickly hired by the University of Connecticut and we will continue to benefit from his mentorship to the degree possible outside the institutional structures of UC Berkeley. But current and future generations of students will be denied the opportunity to take his courses and benefit from his guid-ance, and the campus will lose a scholar who is changing the face of his discipline.

Mark Healey is a professor who demonstrates the connection between scholarship and instruction. His intelligence, wit and passion for study and teaching make him a model for the kind of personally engaged scholars and people his stu-dents endeavor to become.

football: Maynard brings an added running element at quarterback

Steelers backup Dennis Dixon as his favorite quarterback — brings more mobility to the pocket than Cal has seen in a while. The Greensboro, N.C., native started 11 of 12 games in his final season at the University of Buffalo in 2009, complet-ing 57.5 percent of his pass attempts for 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He was also the Bulls’ third-leading rusher, amassing 300 yards and a touchdown on 87 carries. Maynard decided to leave Buffalo after the departure of head coach Turner Gill, who was hired by Kansas. He had attended football camps at Cal in the past, and decided to head west to play

under Tedford. His choice to come to the Bay Area played a large part in landing Cal wide receiver Keenan Allen, Maynard’s half-brother. Allen, who originally commit-ted to Alabama, set the Bears’ single-season freshman record with 46 recep-tions in 2010. “It helps me out pretty good,” Maynard said of playing with Allen. “He’s abso-lutely a huge asset ... Having someone out there I know I can depend on, whether we’re losing by 50 or winning by 50.” The Bears open their season Sept. 3 in a neutral-site match against Fresno State at Candlestick Park.

w. tennis: Juricova’s singles match-up finishes up early due to Davis’ victory

Ramos, winning the next two sets to take the match (1-6, 6-3, 6-4). Cossou’s win pushed the Bears’ lead to 3-0, mak-ing it so Cal only had to win one of the remaining four matches to take the con-test over the Trojans. Cal’s Mari Andersson looked like she was going to end it for USC when she took three out of four games to force a tiebreak in the third set with the Trojans’ Danielle Lao. The native of Bastad, Sweden then lost her momentum, drop-ping the tiebreak, 3-7, to lose the match. Her 6-2, 3-6, 7-6(3) defeat would turn out to be Cal’s lone blemish on the after-noon. Davis’s win then sealed the match for the Bears, giving them a 4-1 win over the Trojans, and advancing them to round three. In what could have been a preview

for the upcoming NCAA singles cham-pionship, the match between top-ranked Jana Juricova and No. 2 Maria Sanchez of USC was ended early by Davis’s win. Sanchez took the first set, 7-6, in a tiebreak, but Juricova respond-ed in the second with a 6-4 win of her own. When the match was cut short, Juricova was hanging on to a 3-2 lead in the final set. On Saturday, the Bears dominated Boston University, 4-0, in the first round of the tournament. Cal opened up by winning the first two matches in the doubles portion, and continued their dominance throughout the singles matchups. In the three singles matches that went to completion, the Bears’ didn’t drop a single set, and only collective lost nine games.

McLachlan’s win helps Cal advance

CheCk onlinewww.dailycal.org

Visit our website to check out a photo slideshow of this past weekend’s Ncaa action.

Riki McLachlan wasn’t supposed to play singles in Saturday’s second round NCAA match with Fresno State; a last-minute lineup change substituted him for his freshman, brother Ben. But it was his sixth-court victory at the Hellman Tennis Complex that clinched the day’s 4-3 tilt for the No. 14 Cal men’s tennis team, which advanced to the round of 16 for the first time since 2003. The sophomore from New Zealand hadn’t played a singles match since a Feb. 20 sweep of UCSB. While he had stayed active and ready throughout the hiatus, he couldn’t ignore the fatigue on Saturday. “I got really tired in the legs,” McLachlan said in a post-match interview. “I think we both got really tired.” His opponent David Ayoun nabbed the first set, 7-5. With the two teams tied at 3-3 overall, the day’s results depended on the next set. And Ayoun had already walked away the victor from the same exact situation the day before against No. 19 Minnesota. But McLachlan “fought like a lion out there,” Cal coach Peter Wright said. McLachlan doggedly hung in, and after winning two consecutive 6-4 upsets, he shook hands across the net with Ayoun as the day’s hero. “With all the ups and downs in the match, he hung in there and really showed some muster to get through it,” Wright said. “What a wonderful end to a fantastic match.” The Bears began the match on one of the downs when the Bulldogs swept the first two singles matches. The No. 23 duo of junior Nick

Andrews and sophomore Christoffer Konigsfeldt fell to Remi Boutillier and Rikus de Villiers, while Ben McLachlan and Pedro Zerbini nar-rowly lost on the second court. “When we lost the doubles point, we knew we were in for a tough day,” Wright said. Yet, many players were able to come back throughout their matches and turn the tide in Cal’s favor. In the only singles match of the day that didn’t reach three sets, Andrews overpowered Jean-Charles Diame in an easy 6-1, 6-1 domination on court No. 3 to tie the overall score.

Konigsfeldt notched another team point on court No. 4 after coming back from a 3-6 first set loss to steal the next two, 6-1, 6-3. Zerbini put the Bears ahead, 3-1, after winning on his opponent’s serve on the top court, but the Bulldogs abruptly ended Cal’s upward climb with two back-to-back victories. Boutillier stole a second set tiebreaker and the third set from sophomore Carlos Cueto, while Nick Papac defeated senior Bozhidar Katsarov. “Bo had an ad in the third set, he had the match in his hands,” Wright said. “But then the opportunity to clinch the match slipped away.” That came before McLachlan’s cinderella story.

The Cal men’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA round of 16 for the first time since 2003 after prevailing in the final singles match-up on Saturday.

Bears fall short in first ever NCAA final

Battling furiously near the front of the cage, Stanford’s Annika Dries received a perfect entry pass — only to find herself swarmed by four Cal players. Not that it mattered. Even eight defenders may not have been enough to contain the sophomore two-meter, who shrugged off the pressure and rifled the ball in the net anyway. Despite their best efforts, the Bears’ could to little to overcome a dominant Sunday after-noon from Dries. The Laguna Beach, Calif. native poured in a game-high five goals at Michigan’s Canham Natatorium, leading the top-ranked Cardinal to a 9-5 victory — and forcing Cal to settle for runner-up in the pro-gram’s NCAA title game debut. Dries made her presence felt from the get-go in the national championship match, put-ting in the game’s first two goals — including a score on the Cardinal’s opening possession. Before the contest was one half old, she already had herself a hat trick. “She just came out ready to play ... she did a really good job,” Bears driver Breda Vosters said. “And we were prepared, but probably didn’t entirely put it all together.” Just as key as Dries’ offensive showcase was a pair of costly second-quarter miscues by Cal. After one quarter of action, the Bears found themselves in perfect striking distance, trail-ing just 2-1 and playing with renewed defen-sive intensity. But in a matter of minutes — and inches — that ideal scenario became an insur-mountable deficit. With 2:11 remaining before halftime and the shot clock winding down, the Cardinal’s Kim Krueger fired a desperation skip shot from longh range that snuck past the fingertips of goalie Stephanie Peckham. The Bears’ Emily Csikos, who tallied hat

tricks in her first two tournament games, short-armed a penalty shot — only to have Dries respond and turn the missed opportunity into a breakaway goal on the other end. That sequence gave Stanford a 4-1 edge, which later ballooned to 7-2 in the second half. “(The Cardinal) is just a team that doesn’t make a lot of mistakes,” Vosters said. “If we just stay composed and keep our heads, it makes it a very different game, but there were a couple of times where we panicked ... I think (those two plays) definitely put momen-tum in their favor, and that’s hard to come

back from.” Still, the Bears certainly put together a val-iant rally late in the second half. Vosters and Elizabeth McLaren each found the back of the net with long distance shots, closing the third-quarter gap to 7-4. Freshman two-meter Katie Monton made the score 8-5 in the fourth period, but Cal would get no closer against Stanford keeper Amber Oland. The Cardinal’s senior goal-tended turned away 11 shots on the after-noon. “It was a rough game for us today, but I am not going to let our last four quarters dampen what was otherwise outstanding season,” Cal coach Richard Corso said after the contest. “This is the best finish this program has even had and I am so proud of what we were able to accomplish. This season was a lot of fun.” Ed Yevelev covers women’s water polo.

For many Cal students, Saturday marked the end of their collegiate careers as they participated in com-mencement activities in Berkeley. Meanwhile in Glendale, Colo., the seniors of the Cal rugby team extended their playing careers by one more game with a 62-14 drubbing of Utah in the national semifinal match. The surging Utes entered Infinity Park on the heels of a 32-26 upset over Army last weekend, while Cal felt it had something to prove after a sloppy per-formance in its win over Life University. The Bears didn’t leave much doubt on Saturday, however. After holding a slim 8-7 edge in the first 15 minutes, they reeled off five unanswered tries before halftime and ran away with a convincing victory that propelled them into the national title game on May 21. “I think today we accomplished what we set out to do, and that was to play a full 80 minutes, 100 percent, and play tight and play quick,” senior co-captain Jason Law said. With Cal (26-0, 9-0 in the CPD) leading, 15-7, halfway through the first stanza, Cal junior No. 8 Danny Barrett received a yellow card for a high tackle, forcing the Bears to play a man down. Rather than taking advantage and narrowing the deficit, Utah (13-3, 6-2) only fell behind further. Match-day captain Blaine Scully recorded a short-handed try in the 29th minute that was converted by senior flyhalf James Bailes to give Cal a 22-7 edge. “I thought the forwards did a really good job keeping up with the ball and using up a lot of time on the clock,” Scully said. “That put a lot of lot of pressure on Utah and really forced them to play a lot of defense.”

The gap only widened when Barrett returned, as the Bears burned the Utes for three more converted tries before the break. The team widely considered the semifinal smackdown to be a marked improvement from its previous game against Life, which saw Cal take its foot off the gas toward the end of the game. In Saturday’s contest, however, the Bears went full throttle in the second half. While managing just three tries compared to its six from the first half, Cal effectively kept the Utes at bay while strengthening its grip on the match. “We knew that we had to give it all and we did,” said senior prop James Besser, a former Daily Cal employee. That effort in the second half was exemplified by junior left wing James McTurk, whose dogged determination prevented a breakout run from yielding points. The play resulted in a Utah turn-over, putting Cal in position to strike again. Meanwhile, Utah was held to two converted tries, one in each half. The Bears will need such persis-tence against BYU in the title match next Saturday at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. Christina Jones covers rugby.

Bears run by Utes, into the national final

Tedford picks Maynard as the Bears’ starting quarterback petition that began at the close of the coach’s first sub-.500 season last fall. “Zach showed a t r e m e n d o u s amount of upside during spring practice and is the quarterback that gives us the best opportunity to win football games,” Tedford said in a press

release. “He has the ability to both throw and run the ball effectively, giving us another dimension at that position that we haven’t had in a while.” Maynard, who heard the news from Tedford a few days ago, took every first-team rep in the Bears’ final ses-sion of spring camp at Contra Costa College two weeks ago. The transfer from Buffalo beat out senior Brock Mansion, who started the last four games of the 2010 season

after Kevin Riley’s knee injury, and sophomore Allan Bridgford. He sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. “It took me a little while,” Maynard said of his adjustment period. “Just coming off this last year, I redshirted, I hadn’t stepped on the field in a whole year ... It was kind of rough at first.” Maynard — who cites former Oregon star and current Pittsburgh

Cal dispatches Trojans, advances to round of 16

With the Cal women’s tennis team needing one more win to clinch a victory over No. 18 USC, sophomore Tayler Davis found herself on the wrong side of a 5-1 score in the third set in her match against the Trojans’ Cristala Andrews. Six games later, Davis rocketed a backhand past Andrews to win the match, 7-5, and clinch the overall contest for her team. The No. 9 seeded Bears (18-6) defeated USC, 4-1, on Sunday at Hellman Tennis Complex to advance to the third round of the NCAA team championships.

Cal’s Annie Goransson and Anett Schutting fol-lowed up the performance with an 8-4 victory over the Trojans’ Lyndsay Kinstler and Valeria Pulido. The singles portion proved to be more of the same for the Bears, as Goransson opened things up with a quick win in straight sets over Pulido (6-0, 6-2), making the overall match score 2-0.
