Concerns Raised as GSI Union President Resigns
The president of a union rep-resenting nearly 12,000 academic student employees throughout the University of California resigned Fri-day morning to pursue work with the international branch of the union, raising concerns among some union members regarding the timing of her resignation.
After almost three years serving as president of the United Auto Workers 2865 — which represents graduate student instructors, readers and tu-tors within the UC — Christine Petit resigned at a union executive board meeting in Los Angeles Friday.
Per union bylaws, Daraka Lari-more-Hall, a UC Santa Barbara grad-uate student and formerly the union’s northern vice president, was sworn in at the meeting as the new president.
According to Petit, her reasons for resigning stem from her work as a union organizer for the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America — the larger union that UAW Local 2865 falls under. Since January, she has been employed by the international union, organizing workers in a variety of countries.
“We’ve been doing some great work to support auto workers all over the world, like Korea, Mexico, India to name a few,” Petit said. “It’s really been intensifying in the last few months, so it was logical for me

More than 1,200 people, about half of whom were students, poured into Zeller-bach Auditorium Feb. 19 to hear speakers from around the country talk on this year’s TEDx-Berkeley theme: “Engaging the World.”
The all-day event — the second of its kind on campus — was an independently-organized offshoot of Technology Entertainment and Design — a series of conferences that disseminate “ideas worth spreading.”
In that vein, Walter Hoods, campus profes-

sor of landscape architecture and environmen-tal planning and urban design, explained to the audience exactly why the wilderness — not a park, not a community garden — is so important for urban neighborhoods.
“The green is not scary,” he said. “We don’t have to control it all the time. Kids need a space to play with the ants, get dirty, hide from their mom and dad.”
Other speakers included the director of ani-mation for “The Simpsons,” David Silverman, who bounced onto the stage playing a tuba, former president of Oberlin College Robert Fuller, who gave a speech on human dignity that received a standing ovation from a small group
in the audience, and sustainability advocate Lopa Brunjes, who spoke about biochar — a type of charcoal that when buried, takes car-bon with it, thereby sequestering it for at least a thousand years.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the biochar (talk) ... because it introduced me to new ideas concerning sustainability,” said UC Berkeley sophomore Sofie Garden, an integrative biol-ogy major. “This, in fact, was the reason I at-tended TEDx in the first place. As a student, it was a chance for me to take a break from my studies to hear about current social, political and global issues from intelligent, credible sources.”

to concentrate my efforts there.”The timing of Petit’s resignation
— two weeks after the union’s vacant elected positions were filled uncon-tested — has stirred some conten-tion, said Charlie Eaton, a trustee for UAW Local 2865 and a member of the union’s opposition caucus, Academic Workers for a Democratic Union. Eaton said because the res-ignation fell after vacancy elections, Larimore-Hall will appoint someone to fill the now vacant northern vice president position. Had Petit stepped down before the election, the posi-tion would have been opened up to an election, Eaton said.
“It’s really bad for our membership that our executive board is being filled through this game of musical chair ap-pointments, instead of letting mem-bers vote for change in an election for the leadership of this union,” he said.
However, Petit said increased work with the international union, not vacancy elections, determined her decision.
Larimore-Hall said he is consulting union leaders before making the deci-sion of who will fill his seat. He added that focus should be on the challenges the union is currently facing.
“As president, what I want to do is focus on the work we have before us,” he said. “We want to focus on enforc-ing our contract, informing and in-volving the membership and fighting for progressive change in California.”

Julian Martinez, a senior facing misconduct charges, confers with law student Thomas Frampton at the student conduct hearing held Feb. 18.tARyn ERhARDt/stAff
Friday’s hearing for a UC Berkeley student charged with misconduct for his involvement in the November 2009 campus protests will be pushed into a second day after the hearing was bogged down by procedural concerns.
Although the hearing — held for Ju-lian Martinez, a senior facing miscon-duct charges for his involvement in the

November 2009 Wheeler Hall occupa-tion — lasted for over five hours, neither party made opening statements. Instead, the hearing panel had to consider proce-dural issues, convening in closed session three times, which eventually resulted in some evidence being declared inadmis-sible and one hearing panel member re-cusing himself from the proceedings.
At the hearing’s start, Thomas Frampton, a law student advising Martinez and member of the Campus
Rights Project, raised seven procedural concerns, including the impartiality of panel members, the hearing’s extended timeline, inadmissibility of evidence and a lack of aid from the Center for Student Conduct and Community Standards in calling witnesses to the hearing.
The first issue Frampton raised was the impartiality of the hearing panel. Mem-bers of the panel, specifically graduate student David Fannon, had recently been

City Nonprofits Seek Funding after Proposed Cuts to Grants
Proposed cuts to federal grants that fund community service and development projects have left many nonprofit organizations in the city that rely on these funds increasingly uncertain about their financial future and in search of diversified funding streams to sustain services.
President Barack Obama’s proposed 2012 fiscal year budget outlines a 50 percent reduction for the Community Services Block Grant, which is allocat-ed to poverty alleviation services, and a 7.5 percent decrease in the Commu-nity Development Block Grant, which funds public works projects. The city of Berkeley distributes both funds — which account for about $1.44 million in development and service projects for fiscal year 2011 — to more than 50 nonprofit organizations.
Obama’s budget also proposes a 44 percent cut to the community service grant through December of this year. The city is scheduled to adopt its 2012 fiscal year budget in June — six months before the federal 2012 fiscal year be-gins — and expects to receive less than the historically granted $1.57 million.
“We get this money on a calendar year basis and we do budget on a fis-cal year basis,” said Drew King, com-munity services and administration manager for the city. “There’s a whole bunch of moving parts at the federal level. We can’t really know until the vote. There’s a lot of uncertainty.”
by Yousur AlhlouStaff Writer
In the next year, the federal com-munity service grant — of which the city currently receives about $174,000 annually — may be distributed on a competitive basis, holding benefac-tors accountable to tangible results, according to Kenneth Wolfe, spokes-person for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Admin-istration for Children and Families.
The federal government is more reluctant to reduce funding for the development grant — of which the city currently receives about $1.27 million — because it funds a much wider range of community devel-opment projects and is spent at the city’s discretion.
While decreased federal funding for these grants is debated, nonprof-its are increasingly seeking alterna-tive sources of funding to fill a poten-tial financial void.
“We’ve told every organization that there will be cuts ... It shouldn’t come as a shock,” said Vincent Casalaina, chair of the Housing Advisory Com-mission, which oversees distribution of the community development grant.
The city’s nonprofits have suffered cuts in the past, but nothing as “dras-tic and vague,” Casalaina said.
Inter-City Services Inc., a Berkeley nonprofit that provides vocational and training services, receives nearly $133,000 in community develop-ment funds annually. Mansour Id-Deen, executive director for the orga-nization, said reduced funding would

RESEARCH & IDEAS
Study: Beliefs About Global Warming Can Be Influenced
The rise in temperature is both a condition of global warming as well as a state of mind, according to a study by researchers from UC Berkeley and the University of Chicago who say that experts should consider other evidence in addition to scientific data when dis-cussing the changing climate.
Clayton Critcher, assistant profes-sor of marketing in the Haas School of Business, and Jane Risen, assistant professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, co-authored the study published Jan. 17 in the Journal of Per-sonality and Social Psychology, which found a connection between whether a person feels warmer — due to high temperatures outside or a heated room — and if they believe more in the ef-fects of global warming.
The researchers began the study after a 2010 Gallup poll revealed that although citizens have more informa-tion about climate changes, 48 percent believed the effects of global warming are exaggerated.
In the study, the researchers es-tablished the “visceral state” as a new basic judgment and decision-making principle — an instinctive feeling that influences one’s judgment under vari-ous conditions.
“People will judge a condition or ex-perience in the world based on what they are experiencing at the time,” Critcher said.
While standing outside or in a heated room, 184 Cornell University students were asked to complete a questionnaire containing social and political questions about current is-sues, including an embedded ques-tion about global warming, which they could rate on a scale of one to 10. The study revealed that in warmer condi-tions, whether inside or outside, the

3OPINION & NEWS Tuesday, February 22, 2011The Daily Californian
Today, I’m here to talk to you about a very serious condition that’s affecting the nation.
This is an affliction so terrible that it manifests doubly: in its physical form and in that of its psychological aftermath. It strikes unexpectedly and does not discriminate. Hide your kids, your sister and your wife; everyone is at risk.
And now, to reveal the delicate situation at hand. Behind curtain No. 1 lies ...
In this scene we have our protago-nist pumping away like it’s 1999, his eyes rigid with concentration. And then, of course, there’s the girl. Whether she’s laying idly, fantasizing about Food Network in between thrusts or actively participating, she’s completely unaware of what lies ahead.
This ignorance is remedied shortly, however, when suddenly, there is no more pumping. No more rattling of the shitty IKEA bed frame. No more moaning.
No more images of lemon cream meringue being flambéed.
Suddenly, everyone is upset and no one is quite sure why. The girl does her best to simultaneously comfort her man while hiding her obvious annoyance, while the guy hangs his head with shame.
Both participants are equally upset and try to work through their humiliation together. This is the best-case scenario, of course. Erectile dysfunction, though tragic indeed, is, for the most part, involuntary. Its nature, not to mention its name, prevents it from being deliberate.
But it is not the worst that can befall you.
Which brings me to the crux of the matter: the case of the minute man.
You may not be able to spot him in a crowd. He has many forms, each more elusive than the next, each equally as wicked. He keeps an eye constantly open, always on the hunt for a new adventure. He may even have an Australian accent. We know nothing for sure.
But what we do know is this. The minute man, my dear readers, is the worst kind of man that you could ever hope to encounter because his title makes it clear what he so eagerly seeks — a mad dash to the finish.
If we lived in a world where we had to wear name tags describing our
favorite sexual techniques, the minute man’s would read, “I am the cham-pion.”
Within his own mind, he very much is. His goal gives him the tunnel vision he needs to succeed in getting in and out of any sexual encounter in a minute’s time, a feat that would be impressive if it weren’t so goddamn annoying.
To fully understand the nature of my rage, we have to delve further into the minute man’s head. The goal? To come (simple enough). The means? To do it as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, this simplistic kind of thinking eliminates the pleasure of
the other participant. And if I happen to be that other participant, I will punish you. Not in the kinky way.
I will find you. You may forget, but I will hold this injustice in my heart
silently, waiting for just the right time to act upon it.
We will go on walks in the park together and I’ll smile at your from behind my ice cream cone. We’ll stay up late swapping ghost stories under a tent made of pillows and telling each other secrets. Hell, we may even buy matching charm bracelets together.
The next time we find ourselves caught up in intimacy, I’ll gaze into your face with shimmering eyes, reach down to unzip your jeans ... and then I will give you blue balls badly enough to make you cry for your mother.
Let me make it clear. I don’t care what your excuse is; the fact is, there is no excuse. Any man who won’t go longer than a minute in the bedroom deserves to be stripped of his title and called “boy-child” for the rest of his days. If you dive under the sheets with the secret intention of making this a habit, you, sir, are a despicable human being.
Now that may come off a little strong. And to the innocent bystand-er, it might be. But picture, for a minute, the situation that I feebly endured so, so many nights ago.
“Is it in yet?”“Yeah. Uh, actually I’m finished.”“ ... Excuse me?”What usually followed this dialogue
was stretching. And yawning. As if by which he wanted to give the impres-sion he’d done such a fantastic job, he’d tired himself out for the night. The vein in my forehead twitched perceptibly, as if to say, “next time, I’m going to rupture before he does.”
And it was my life. Not just for one night. But for several. You’d be amazed how much shit one person will put up with under the guise of “loving” someone. During that time, my shower head pleasured me more often than the man I was supposedly sleeping with.
Oh-ho-ho. But never again. The sexual revolution has come for me — and it never comes early.

be a “serious blow” to the organization, which he said serves over 1,000 resi-dents each year.
“This is coming at a time when people are struggling throughout our country,” Id-Deen said. “I hope those cuts do not go forward.”
Deborah Bellush, executive direc-tor for Biotech Partners — a Berkeley a nonprofit academic and vocational
training program that receives about $71,000 in community development funds — said that although reduced funding would impact support for low-income families, in-client support from companies, such as Bayer Healthcare, covers crucial costs like rent.
“We have learned long and hard how to do more with less,” Bellush said.
Bill Supports UCPD Plan to Lower Bicycle Dismount Fines
A new ASUC Senate bill supports UCPD’s plans to reduce the fine for bi-cyclists caught riding through UC Berkeley’s dismount zone and advo-cates clearer demarcation of the zone, funded by the fines.
Created in 2001 at the request of then Chancellor Robert Berdahl, the dismount zone is defined as an area spanning California Plaza, Dwinelle Plaza and Sproul Plaza where students must walk their bikes Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. — the peak hours of foot traffic. Until last se-mester, bicyclists who did not dismount in this area were susceptible to a $220 fine. UCPD now plans to lessen the consequences with a new program.
“This is something I wanted to raise an issue about this semester because I know a lot of students are pissed off about this bike fine being so high,” said Cooperative Movement Senator Elliot Goldstein, who sponsored the bill.
According to UCPD Lt. Alex Yao, UCPD was not aware of the exact price of the fine — set by the courts, which decide the base fine based on the Cali-fornia Penal Code and then add court

It’s surprising that, given the eco-nomic downturn, anyone would be resistant to the opening of a
new store to occupy two of the many vacant storefronts in the shopping district on Solano Avenue.
Even more surprising is the rea-soning the local business owners provide in arguing against Goodwill’s proposal to open a clothing-and-furniture reselling operation. Store owners have complained that Goodwill will attract homeless peo-ple and accrue piles of unwanted donations and that it would drive preexisting secondhand stores out of business.
We doubt that either of these con-cerns are warranted. There is no indication that the opening of a Goodwill would clutter up local storefronts with donated clothing or furniture — we have never seen a Goodwill that encouraged dumping at its front door. In fact, the Goodwill website explicitly forbids leaving items unattended outside donation centers.
The concern that Goodwill would drive out local businesses also seems like a stretch. Goodwill occupies a unique niche, providing high-vol-
ume, variable-quality secondhand goods at low prices — hardly compe-tition for the high-quality clothing stores or boutique used-clothes stores currently occupying Solano Avenue.
The debate over Goodwill also brings to attention shortcomings of the current permit system. Goodwill is considering combining two spaces into one, but doing so would prompt a lengthy permit process.
The Berkeley City Council should consider easing the hurdles new businesses must face — any business is good business, and vacant store-fronts and “closed” signs will never be preferable to an open store with real customers.
The only guaranteed impacts of opening a new Goodwill store on the Solano shopping district would be more jobs, more foot traffic and fewer vacant storefronts. Attempting to stop the store from moving in — whether by raising specious argu-ments about increased clutter block-ing sidewalks or forcing it to undergo a discouraging and cumbersome permit process — would be a sacri-fice that the district cannot afford.
Recent news that UC San Francisco spent $241,800 to upgrade security and renno-
vate its chancellor’s offices provides contrasting examples of what spend-ing is or isn’t appropriate given the current economic circumstances.
Since 2010, the house has under-gone three burglaries and seen 11 other crimes occur in the immediate vicinity. A land management report prepared for the campus in 2001 suggested that security was enough of a problem to merit redirecting a hiking trail. While this is not a large amount of crime, no one should have to experience a burglary every 3 years on average.
We believe that increasing the security around the house was war-ranted, but the price tag — $85,800 — seems like a large amount given the relatively low level of crime. We hope that UC San Francisco explored alternatives and found this to be the most efficient use of funds before approving the construction.
The fact that the security upgrades did not come out of campus funds — instead, they were covered by the Edward F. Searles Fund, an endow-ment specifically allocated to cover
non-state-funded expenditures like upkeep of chancellors’ properties — makes them easier to stomach.
The Searles Fund has grown to approximately $161 million, and by all accounts these types of expendi-tures are exactly what it is set aside to cover. It’s good that the university has this fund — it can cover forgot-ten expenses and preserve campus funds for academic purposes.
The spending of $156,000 of campus funds, however, to renovate the chancellor’s offices is less excus-able. Replacing furniture and removing dividing walls seems hardly necessary as the university faces a $500 million cut. If there were any immediately pressing repairs, the campus should have paid for those and saved any remain-ing work for a time when the univer-sity had more money.
UC President Mark Yudof has repeatedly called for shared sacrifice in the face of unprecedented state cuts. We aren’t asking chancellors to sacrifice their security — but we hope they’d consider living with threadbare furniture for a few more years.
Popular uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, and Jordan have been the fea-tured topic of news media as of late and while the democratic yearnings of the general populace should, in theory, be fully supported by the United States, a change in the status quo is the last thing our government wants.
Since the days of Eisenhower, our government has purportedly striven to make democracy our number one export, in the perhaps mistaken belief that any democratic country would be our ally.
Israel was the first country in the Middle East to get the official American stamp of approval and, since its inception, this tiny state the size of New Jersey has received over $100 billion, $53 billion of which was military aid. This is a symbol of America’s “special relationship” with Israel.
But what about our special rela-tionships with the dictatorships of Tunisia and Libya and the monar-chies of Morocco, Jordan and Saudi Arabia? Have we been “supporting” them to the tune of billions of dollars annually in the innocent hopes that they will voluntarily enact democracy in their countries?
Since 1987 (the year Tunisia’s Ben-Ali took power), the U.S. has autho-rized $349 million in military sales agreements to Tunisia. We gave Jordan $666 million worth of mili-tary aid between 2006 and 2007 alone, spending $80 million on an anti-terrorism training center.
All these countries are seen as hav-ing either rigged elections or no elec-tions at all and still we have propped up their governments with billions of dollars worth of military aid for decades.
by Tomi Laine Clark In fact, during the Iran-Iraq war, we provided weapons not only to Iraq, but to Iran as well, which resulted in a little scandal called Iran-Contra. And now we lambaste Iran for providing funding and weap-ons to the Lebanese resistance, Hezbollah. We call Hezbollah Iran’s proxy and say “no fair,” meanwhile we have dozens of our own proxies that we fund and equip on a fantastically larger scale.
And now that government press censorship in various countries all over the Middle East and North Africa has largely failed in the wake of several revolutions, the citizens of these countries are free to call us hypocrites and, because they were not free to do so before, we assumed that everybody liked us and appreci-ated our “crusade” for worldwide democracy.
And we have the gall to build anti-terrorism training centers that are supposed to shield us from the results of our own actions.
Once upon a time, the U.S. had a chance to become truly relevant in the Middle East by brokering a last-ing peace agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians. We said that we wanted peace, we sent our ambassadors and negotiators jaunt-ing back and forth between Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and elsewhere. But, more than ever, it seems like that was merely a display of play acting, what many political analysts refer to as “stagecraft” rather than statecraft.
And now, with the Palestinian Authority seeking recognition from UN member countries directly, with-out America’s support, it is clearer than ever that we are no longer need-ed nor are we wanted.
Even Israelis know it. In a Feb. 21, 2011 article, Yaron London wrote,
“We are relying on a sinking super-power that is abandoning its pretens-es to lead the world, educate it in line with its values, punish the rogue ele-ments and pamper those that toe the line.” The article describes the U.S. as a sinking ship, and it is certainly not the only one.
According to a May 2010 article by Amjad Atallah, “The Israeli-Arab conflict (is) still the defining lens through which most in the region saw the United States.”
The Palestinian cause is the poster child of injustice in the region. Everybody from Morocco to Qatar believes that the Palestinians are increasingly subjugated and abused in myriad ways by the U.S., who, in the 2011 fiscal year, funded the Israeli military machine at the rate that averages to about $8 million per day while expecting the citizens of our ally countries to believe that we are doing so because Israel is under threat.
If Israel were to be attacked, the chances are staggering that it would be bombed with our missiles, dropped from our planes, by soldiers whose salaries are paid by our tax dollars.
It seems as though we are financ-ing war because it is more profitable than peace, and the Middle East, at least, is tired of the status quo. It remains to be seen whether the popu-lar uprisings in the region and the changes in governance will affect how much military aid we provide or how it is used.
We, the United States, have lost our chance to be relevant. If we want a chance to survive at all, with any of our moral dignity left intact, we need a drastic change of plans.

Apple Stays Quiet on Potential Fourth Street Store
With black partitions surrounding its entire Fourth Street property, con-struction on an existing building that could house a new Apple Inc. retail store in Berkeley is de-pendent on city approval of a building permit, though Apple remains reticent about plans to open in the city.
Renovation of the 1823 Fourth St. property is pending approval of a building permit from the city, which will enable Alameda-based architec-ture firm MBH Architects to expand retail space by 2,555 square feet with the addition of a partial second story, according to city documents.
Since the property has already been zoned for retail use, the opening of a different type of retail establishment in the same location does not need to be approved by the city, according to Dave Fogarty, the city’s economic de-velopment coordinator. The building permit, which is necessary for archi-tectural changes to the store’s physi-cal structure and expansion of retail space, was filed on Nov. 18 by MBH Architects.
by Jessica GillotteStaff Writer
The building permit is currently in the “plan check” stage, awaiting approv-al from a city plan checker who must comb through the store’s construction plans and determine whether they meet California and local building codes.
“The city has a legal obligation to make sure the building is done safely according to modern building codes,” Fogarty said. “So they’re concerned with things like fire safety, building safety, seismic safety (and) disability accessibility.”
Nick Leahy, public relations man-ager for corporate communications at Apple, would not confirm any affilia-tion between Apple and MBH Archi-tects. He also declined to comment on any plans Apple may have to occupy the Fourth Street property.
“We haven’t made any announce-ments about a store in that location,” he said.
A representative from MBH Archi-tects also declined to comment on any sort of partnership they may have with Apple.
Fogarty added that it is common for building permits to be submitted by a contractor or architect rather than the business that will occupy the property.
Though construction on the build-ing has yet to be approved by the city, Apple was given permission to parti-
tion the building on Jan. 11, accord-ing to city documents. Lynne Tingle, executive director and founder of The Milo Foundation — which has been using the plaza space in front of the lo-cation to operate its weekly mobile pet adoption agency — said the partition walls were put up a month ago, enclos-ing the plaza area and sidewalk and forcing the adoption agency to move to another location down the street.
“It was a great space to be doing mo-bile adoptions,” Tingle said. “It’s sort of been a mainstay for animal adoptions on Fourth Street for 15 years.”
Despite the buzz surrounding the potential opening, Wai Lee, owner of Modern Accessories for Computers located on Shattuck Avenue, said he expects to maintain his group of loyal customers.
“It’s really hard to get an appoint-ment with anyone at Apple,” he said. “Our customers just walk in. We have enough resources to do that. We’ve been around for 26 years.”
According to Fogarty, once the city’s plan checker approves the building permit, construction at the site can begin, and could potentially be com-pleted by July 2011.
CONDUCT: Piece of Evidence Deemed Inadmissiblefrom front
involved in student disciplinary cases “that involved the exact same set of facts or a similar set of facts” as those in Mar-tinez’s case, Frampton said.
“Our concern is both with bias and the appearance of bias,” he said.
However, faculty panel chair Ronald Fearing, a professor of electrical engi-neering and computer science, dis-missed the procedural concern, saying the panel had already discussed this is-sue prior to the hearing and ruled out the possibility of impartiality.
“The panel members have assured me that they can approach this panel with a degree of impartiality that Mr. Martinez is deserving of,” Fearing said.
Frampton went on to address the issue of “extraordinary timeline viola-tions” that he alleged have occurred in the 14 months since the November 2009 protests. He said while campus officials have maintained that timeline violations have been due to difficulties
assembling hearing panels due to staff layoffs, new information revealed that this has not been the case.
Frampton said information he ob-tained through a public records re-quest shows the campus held about 25 panel hearings and resolved 29 student conduct cases since January 2010.
The panel, however, ruled that it was “outside the panel’s authority to dismiss the case based on this extra evidence.” Following the hearing, Su-san Trageser, director of the Center for Student Conduct and Community Standards, was out of the office and could not be reached as of press time.
While the panel dismissed other procedural issues raised — regarding the inadmissibility of 14-month evi-dence and a lack of assistance from the campus Center for Student Conduct and Community Standards in sum-moning witnesses — they did rule that one piece of evidence to be used in the hearing was inadmissible.
Frampton alleged that a YouTube video clip was inadmissible because it had been downloaded and placed on a CD, in violation of YouTube terms and conditions, for use in the hearing. He added that the video’s makers specifi-cally requested it not be used for gov-ernment purposes without permission, which would bar the UC from using it.
After the five-member panel con-vened privately for a third time, they returned with only four members after Fannon recused himself.
Fannon said in an e-mail that he could not comment on his recusal due to the ongoing nature of the matter and also due to “federal law, campus policy and common courtesy” regarding the protection of a student’s — Martinez’s — right to privacy. After some further discussion, the hearing was adjourned with a tenta-tive date for a second hearing slated for Feb. 28 at 5:30 p.m.

participants’ belief in global warming increased by one point.
“The experiment indicated it was the experience of heat, not informa-tion, in the survey that made people believe there is a global warming ef-fect,” Critcher said. “It is important for people in academics to consider the possibility that there may be other roots that are more intuitive that im-pact what someone believes or does not believe.”
Anthony Fisher, chairman and a professor of agricultural and resource economics in UC Berkeley’s College of Natural Resources, said the public
is confused because of contradictory claims about global warming. He said he is not sure what scientists would do with a study like Critcher’s but that he does agree that a different way of con-veying information might be helpful.
“It’s not a new scientific finding,” he said. “Anything that narrows the gap between science and the general public is bound to improve the quality of the decisions that people make.”
Several scientists said they agree that there are as many people who believe global warming is a concern as there are that believe media hype is the problem. However, they added that there is no consensus about what is the best way to give the public infor-
mation that is accurate and easier to understand.
Dr. William Patzert, a climatologist who has worked at the California Insti-tute of Technology’s NASA Jet Propul-sion Laboratory for 28 years said that not enough facts were presented in the study and that participants were influ-enced by feelings.
“I come down on the side of fact rather than the feel-great-issue of the 21st century,” Patzert said. “I am a true believer about global warming, but based on the facts.”
He added, though, that feelings and brain chemistry are factors that should be taken into consideration when dis-cussing hot-button issues.
fees — until it was brought to their at-tention by a student last semester. Un-til a new policy is in place, Yao said UCPD officers have been ordered not to issue any citations.
Although UCPD issued a base fee much less than $220, Yao said addi-tional associated administrative and court charges raised the price. UCPD’s new plan will get rid of these extra charges and allow the department to handle citations internally.
The bill’s authors said they have been in communication with UCPD officials who said the fine will be reduced to $50, though Yao said he could not con-firm the price of the fine because plans
have not yet been finalized.The bill states that under UCPD’s
plans, students would also be required to attend a bicycle education class in or-der to receive the reduced fee, which would give UCPD “an opportunity to impart a lesson with the citation rather than just impose a punishment.”
Money from the fine would be used to fund bicycle awareness efforts, and the bill states that the fine should also pay for bigger signs and more paint to designate the zone, according to Sa-mantha Strimling, author of the bill and a former employee of The Daily Californian.
Last year, the department issued 103 citations alone for dismount zone viola-tions during the four-month period be-
tween August and November.Yao said that since the beginning of
2001, UCPD has received 53 reports of bicycle-related injuries on or around campus, not all of which were in the dismount zone. He said that in the past two years, three injuries were reported.
Student Action Senator Spencer McLeod said the senate’s bill is a sym-bolic gesture that enacts no tangible change, but rather “shows the UCPD that this is where the students are.”
Goldstein said the goal of the bill is to raise awareness and endorse a more reasonable dismount zone policy.
“Honestly, I don’t know how this policy persisted for so long and people got fined so much over the years in an unjust way,” Goldstein said.

Bears thrill in Overtime Win Over Bruins As it fell into the net at the regula-
tion buzzer, Malcolm Lee’s game-tying 3-pointer carried the ghosts of LaMont “Mo Mo” Jones, Reeves Nelson, Michael Roll and others.
This story had been writ-ten before.
Losers of four straight con-tests, and seem-ingly permanent heartbreak vic-tims at the hands of the UCLA, the Bears nearly let another game slip through their hands on Sunday night at Haas Pavilion.
“I was just thinking, ‘Oh, man, we’ve been here before,’” Cal’s Brandon Smith said.
Five minutes later, he helped tear up the script.
The sophomore point guard contin-ued his surprising streak of late-game heroics by sinking the biggest shot of his career — a right-corner 3-pointer with 15 seconds left in overtime to help clinch a thrilling 76-72 victory over the Bruins.
It marked Cal’s first home win over Ben Howland’s club since 2004.
“When (Jorge Gutierrez) passed it to me, it wasn’t right in my shot pocket and there was a guy coming out,” Smith said. “I thought, ‘I am still going to stick this.’”
Just as key was the player who ulti-mately assisted Smith’s clutch shot. One game removed from a 2-for-13 shooting night, Gutierrez erupted for a career-high 34 points, including his team’s first six in overtime. He deci-mated the Bruins all evening long with a flurry of hard-nosed drives to the basket.
With time winding down in the extra period and Cal up, 71-70, Gutierrez found himself trapped by UCLA defenders and

had no choice but to kick it out.Smith did the rest.“I made sure I was ready to knock it
down,” Smith said.The game’s final minutes were filled
with much less certainly for Cal fans, who had already seen the Bears buckle two weeks earlier against Arizona.
With 6.6 seconds remaining in regu-lation and Cal (14-13, 7-8 in the Pac-10) clinging to a 60-57 edge, it must have felt like deja vu when the Bears missed two chances to put the Bruins on the free throw line.
Markhuri Sanders-Frison merely knocked the ball away from Reeves Nelson with 3.3 seconds left. And off the ensuing inbound, Lee faded away and sunk the game-tying jumper from the top of the key.
“The coaches were saying, ‘Let’s foul,’” coach Mike Montgomery said. “Actually, (Sanders-Frison) tried to foul (Nelson), they didn’t call it ... It was there, but we just fell asleep at the wheel.”
The Bears were anything but asleep early. They blitzed UCLA (19-8, 10-4) from the opening tip, forcing 10 turn-overs and never trailing en route to a 29-18 halftime lead. The Bruins shot 7-of-24 from the field in the first 20 minutes, while their imposing front-court of Nelson and Joshua Smith com-bined for just four points.
Yet by the 7:15 mark of the second half, UCLA had stormed back to take their first lead, 48-47. Sophomore for-ward Tyler Honeycutt overcame a five-point opening frame to finish with 14, drilling three big shots from beyond the arc after intermission.
As the game tightened up, Smith had a inkling of events to come.
“There was just a determination that we were going to win this game,” he said. “I just had one of those gut feelings that, ‘You know what, I know that tonight was gonna come down to a game-winning shot.’”
Freshman Allen Crabbe (right) scored eight points in his first game back from sitting out with a concussion. Crabbe played 43 minutes and also contributed seven rebounds.

Walk-off by Knapp Seals Opening Day Cal Sweep
The orange sunset light was quickly fading when Cal pinch hitter Andrew Knapp stepped into the batter’s box. Moments before, left fielder Darrel Matthews singled to tie the game 5-5 in the bottom of the ninth. But now, Evans Diamond was silent as all eyes followed Knapp.
Utah reliever Brock Duke rocked back and delivered. Knapp swung.
The ball lined past first, bouncing softly in the right field grass. Dan-ny Oh rounded third and sprinted home. The throw was high; Oh was safe.
The Cal baseball team — just a week removed from learning it would not be among the three teams reinstated by the athletic depart-ment — rushed onto the field with the raw ecstasy of World Series champions.
And in that moment, everything that mattered was on the field.
“Much like our program, I hope we never say die,” coach David Esquer said. “And our kids know that. They know they represent a lot.
“They’re a special group, and they showed that.”
With that emphatic walk-off win, the No. 17 Bears opened the 2011 sea-son, their final — at least for now — as

Cal Comes Back in the rain to Beat UBC
It was not just the pouring rain and the muddy field at the San Francisco Golden Gate Rugby Club on Treasure Island that provided unfamiliar condi-tions for the Cal rugby team on Satur-day afternoon.
For the first time this year, the Bears (15-0) trailed at halftime, down 13-7 to British Columbia (5-8). For the 10th time this season, the Bears shut out their opponents in the second half, tak-ing their first lead with six minutes re-maining en route to a 21-13 win.
“We snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, really,” flanker Tom Rooke said.
Rooke scored on a play from a lineout
by Christina JonesStaff Writer
at the 10-meter line to bring Cal within one. Rather than funnel the ball to the right side as was expected, senior Drew Hyjer caught the ball and passed to se-nior Neil Barrett, who delivered it to Rooke to cut in for the score.
While the crafty play broke Cal’s scoring drought, it set up a very dif-ficult conversion kick near the left touchline that was needed to take the lead. James Bailes got just the proper angle and just enough distance to put it through the uprights.
“I just blocked everything out,” Bailes said. “You train for those big moments and hopefully when one comes your way, you manage to do it.”
After committing numerous han-dling errors with the slick ball in the
first half, the Bears turned the tables, capitalizing on a Thunderbird turn-over near Cal’s try line. Under pressure from senior Sean Gallinger, the Thun-derbirds coughed up the ball, which set up a 77th-minute try by junior wing James McTurk.
Yet again Bailes was called on to make a tough conversion — this time from the right side of the field. He nailed it to post a perfect 3-for-3 on the day.
In an intense battle between evenly matched teams, execution late in the game made the difference.
The Bears were nearly shut out in the first half, save a converted try by wing Blaine Scully in the waning moments
The Cal rugby team launched a second-half rally at the muddy San Francisco Golden Gate Rugby Club to defeat British Columbia.

Cal Irreparably Damages Pac-10 Hopes With two losses in l.a.
Going into this weekend, the Cal women’s basketball team’s remaining Pac-10 games looked fairly predict-able.
Its Friday night loss to No. 11 UCLA was anything but unexpected, and the Bears’ mid-dle-of-the-pack conference position relative to their three remaining oppo-nents — No. 2 Stanford and the lowly Oregon schools — is indicative of the likely outcome of those contests.
The only questionable game re-maining was Sunday’s matchup with USC, whom Cal beat convincingly on Jan. 20.
Yet the outcome of Sunday’s game, and likely Cal’s season, was obvious within 10 minutes of the 80-67 loss at the Galen Center in Los Angeles. The early minutes of the game saw the Bears take a 4-3 lead. The next four consisted of a 14-0 run from the Tro-jans.
USC led by 21 points with 12 sec-onds to go in the half, and it was only the Bears’ four free throws in the time remaining that pulled them to 50-33.
Trojans’ guard Ashley Corral was re-sponsible for 18 points in the first half. While she hit a career-high 7-for-8 3-pointers, Cal (14-12, 6-9 in the Pac-10) suffered an abysmal 33.3 percent shooting effort.
“Last time, they had an amazing night, shooting like 52 percent from the field,” USC senior Kari LaPlante said. “That’s hard to copy, so we knew that tonight on our home court floor that it was going to be a different game.”
When Cal defeated the Trojans (16-9, 8-6) at Haas Pavilion on Jan. 20, the Bears held Corral, who averages 12.6

points per game, to just three points. Her offensive presence is just one indi-cator of Cal’s difficulties at Galen Center on Sunday.
“Where is our maturity and under-standing that you have to dictate?” coach Joanne Boyle asked. “Ashley Corral made seven from the three. You have to dictate. We know that.
“How much more aggressive were we in the second half running the same stuff?”
According to Boyle, the second half was something of a comeback. Freshman Lindsey Sherbert helped the Bears come back hitting three 3-pointers in the second half to lead the Bears with 19 points. Yet it was Cal’s defensive efforts that allowed the Bears to shave four points off USC’s halftime lead.
Cal upped its rebounding from 16 to 24 in the second half, allowing only five USC offensive rebounds through-out the entire game. Corral scored only eight after the break, finishing with 26 points.
The Bears outscored USC, 34-30, in the second half, not allowing the Trojans’ lead to reach 20 points again, as it did multiple times in the first pe-riod.
“We need to find a way to put it all together in one game,” Boyle said. “I liked what I saw in the second half. I know we are freshmen and sopho-mores. I think we are better than what we are showing.”
Unfortunately for the squad, a late-game effort does nothing to fix a 17-point deficit — the same way a potential sweep of the Oregon teams next week won’t fix their conference record.
