Plastic bag recycling ordinance extended

“24-hour room receives renovation”

ASUCD senate bill calls for new paint, artwork

Grocery stores still required to have recycling programsBy CLAIRE TAN

Aggie City Editor

On Sept. 19, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a measure that prolongs Senate Bill (SB) 1219 until Jan. 1, 2020. It was set to sunset on Jan. 1, 2013. SB 1219 by Sen. Lois Wolk (D-Davis) requires California grocery stores to have a recy-cling program for plastic bags. Besides single-use carryout bags, plastic products such as plastic bags for bread, dry clean-ing, shrink wrap and other types of plastics are accepted by the recycling programs. In 2006, Assembly Bill (AB) 2449 was passed, requiring gro-cery stores to have recycling pro-grams for single-use plastic car-ryout bags. However, it prohibit-ed California local governments

from enacting a fee on such bags, thus many local governments ended up outright banning plas-tic bags and charging for carryout paper bags. According to the bill’s analysis, the extension repeals a preemp-tion prohibiting local govern-ments from implementing their own separate plastic bag recy-cling programs, additional au-diting or reporting requirements and fees on plastic bags. In support of the bill are 1 Bag at a Time, Command Packaging, Western Plastics Association, League of California Cities, California Association of Counties and the Regional Council of Rural Counties. “One of the things that is help-ful for local governments is that it provides a source-separated stream that can be recycled or

kept out of the landfill,” said Kyra Ross, a legislative representative of the League of California Cities. “And for us, that’s a very important stream, so separate and apart from the discus-sions about ban-ning plastic bags or local or-d i n a n c e s that have been talk-ed about or done for that mat-ter, we think having this continued take-back stream is still important in and of itself.” Having plastic bag recycling programs diverts the bags from

ending up in landfills and storm drains. “We look at this bill as anoth-

er tool to deal with plastic bags because they are a

big problem,” said Cara Martinson, senior legislative

analyst for the California State

Association of Counties. “We see a

lot of these bags and remnants of

bags in storm-water drains

and causing sig-nificant issues on

that end.” SB 1219 is seen as com-

plementary to plastic bag bans.

“Even if you ban plastic bags, there’s still going to [be] a stream of plastic coming through, at least for a certain period of time,” Ross said. “Where it is used, we think this is an important part of the overall stream that keeps plas-tic bags source-separated. It’s an alternative to showing up in the grocery curbside container or showing up at the landfill.” Martinson said she considers the bill part of the solution, but not the total solution. “There are a number of cities and counties in California that have already either instituted bans on plastic bags or have im-posed fees,” Martinson said. “I know the rates or the analysis of the bill I’ve read are pretty low for recycling, but I think that coupled

After a year and a half, the 24-hour study room on campus is getting the restoration needed for a more welcoming study space for students. “It smells like sweat and defeat in that place. Maybe some plug-ins or working AC would be nice, anything to get rid of the smell,” said Krystal Gutierrez, fourth-year sociology and Chicana/o studies double major. Former ASUCD senators Andre Lee, Rebecca Sterling, Bree Rombi and Yena Bae were involved in the project to renovate the 24-hour study room. According to ASUCD Senate Bill 120, ASUCD — along with the Aggie Public Arts Committee (APAC) — began the project to beautify the 24-hour study room in fall 2010, but until now it was placed on hold due to “lack of communication.” Along with the library’s funding of $1,043, the beautification of the 24-hour study room cost ASUCD $993 — $743 from Senate Reserves and $250 from APAC — ac-cording to ASUCD senator Joyce Han, who authored the bill. “One reason behind the renovation was continuing collaboration between different groups on campus, for example ASUCD and the library. Also, so many people I know complain about the 24 hour study room. Although it isn't directly under ASUCD, it is important for us to recognize what the student body wants and needs to help improve UC Davis as a whole,” Han said in an e-mail interview.

The renovation of the 24-hour study room began after Summer Session II on Sept. 17 and was scheduled to be complet-ed Sept. 30, during which time students were not allowed to study in the room. According to Han, due to lack of proper funding, the room had not been painted in 20 years. “I am an avid user of the [24-hour study room] and think it is a great part of campus, especially when you really need to cram … it could use some sprucing up, though: The desks are old and scratched up, the chairs could use cushions and the place always smells [like] funk,” said Malisa Meemari, fifth-year exercise biology and Spanish double major. During its renovation, the 24-hour study room received a new paint job — mint green walls — along with artwork from multiple campus groups, such as APAC and Mustard Seed Ministry. “The original idea is for it to be a rotating art gallery like the art gallery in the Coho. It's another way of supporting the arts on campus and giving students the opportu-nity if they'd like to contribute to the cam-pus,” Han said. Han also said that she researched colors that are best for a study atmosphere and consulted professional painters and interi-or designers. “Although this renovation doesn't fix all problems of the 24-hour study room, it's a first step in the right direction. I want to continue to work with the library to create a better atmosphere in this room for all of us,” Han said.

Details of the settlement between the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the University of California regarding the Nov. 18 pepper spray incident were released last Wednesday on the UC Davis Quad during a press conference at which some of the settlement’s plaintiffs and attorneys spoke.

A total of $1 million was distributed between the plaintiffs, the attorneys and the ACLU.

The settlement also details an agreement between the ACLU and the UC system, and UC Davis in particular. The ACLU

will assist all UC campuses in a series of reforms that were decided on following the aftermath of the incident last November. The reforms will aim to reduce police involvement in on-campus incidents, garner increased student, faculty and university staff involvement and reexamine the UC’s Freedom of Expression guidelines. The changes will necessitate community involvement in major decisions.

“We are very, very optimistic about the upcoming year,” said Barry Shiller, executive director

of Strategic Communications. “We know there are still potential concerns based on what happened in November ... we’re going into the year well prepared to manage conflict.”

Students, including pepper spray plaintiff Ian Lee, agree that reforms must be made.

“I think the settlement is a step in the right direction, but we need to do more ... If campus police are to exist, they must be accountable to the students,” he said.

The BUZZ took place from 6 to 10 p.m. last Friday on the Quad. As one of the most anticipated and well-attended events of the Fall Welcome festivities, the night included casino games, arts

and crafts, food, raffle prizes, a mechanical bull ride, video games, inflatable games and many tables for campus groups to hand out free items. The live performances of the night included a cappella

group performances, a Cal Aggie Marching Band-uh! show as well as a miniature concert by Shwayze and MK Modern.

To all students, new and old: I’m not the best at introductions,

so in the words of Eugene Fitzherbert: “I know not who you are, nor how I came to find you, but may I just say … Hi.” Now, realistically, I’m pretty sure we can answer a couple of those questions right now. Who are you? If you’re actually reading this, you can only be either an athlete whose name de-serves to be in this pa-per, or my parents. Hi, Mom! Also, it was not I who found you, but you who picked up the newspaper and stum-bled upon this section of the paper. Now, though it’s high-ly unlikely that you were in-terested enough to ask, I’ll tell you who I am. I’m the sports editor for this publication. Yet I know I’m not the one who knows the most about UC Davis athletics. I’ve followed col-lege athletics since high school, but UC Davis wasn’t on the radar then, since I grew up in the Bay area, where you’re either a Bear or a Cardinal.

So why am I here? I’m just like all of you out there. I was indifferent to the out-come of UC Davis athlet-ics, and made it out to a to-tal of one sporting event my freshman year: the Homecoming football game. I got my Aggie Pack shirt and made it to half-time before leaving, which, I’m finding, is longer than most. One thing I’ve learned is that UC Davis sports tru-ly have something special. And I’m not saying that be-cause I have this job. I have this job because it’s true. To all you naysayers: There is an inexplicable factor that encompasses UC Davis. The Aggies don’t seem to have the same awe-inspiring sheer pow-er of big established sports powerhouses such as Cal or Stanford. Yet. If you want to be proud

of your school and your ath-letics, then you should look past the univer-

sally accepted statement that buzzes around cam-pus, the one that says UC Davis sports are as good as your high school team. That is fallacious in many ways. Don’t buy into that. Cue Admiral Ackbar’s warning. Take some time to do re-search and your school will probably surprise you. We truly have something special here, a program that is unfortunately taken for granted and does not get enough recognition for its athletic and academic in-tegrity. That itself is some-thing that most schools

cannot say. I can speak from per-sonal experience, from one who started out with absolutely no attachment to UC Davis athletics, that the Aggies have a unique feel to them, each team with its own personality and characters. So do it. Go to a game. Stay the whole time. Cheer for your school. When you start going out to athlet-ic events, you’ll get sucked in by the X-factor of UC Davis’ sports. Cue Admiral Ackbar’s warning. I know I cannot con-vince you of this any more than Hagrid would be able to convince me that blast-ended skrewts are, indeed, safe creatures; it’s some-thing you will find out on

your own. Now, this will not be one of those interesting weekly columns about pop culture, relationships or the so-cial scene here at UC Davis. Partly because I don’t think the world needs anoth-er one, but in a much more real sense, because I don’t know a single thing about any of those. I know in your mind, you’re wondering, “If he’s not going to write about those things, what else could he possibly write about?” UC Davis athlet-ics has an almost unlimit-ed amount of material to cover. What with 23 ath-letic teams and over 600 student-athletes, unless

In the first-ever Big Sky Conference game played at Aggie Stadium, the UC Davis football team captured their first victory with a 37-13 win over the Weber State Wildcats. Sophomore running back Dalton Turay led the offensive attack with three rushing touchdowns, the first Aggie to do so since 2006. UC Davis improves to 2-3 with a 1-1 conference record, while Weber State

falls to 0-5 and 0-2 in conference. “It was a team effort completely. I couldn’t have done it without the oth-er 10 guys on the field,” Turay said. Head coach Bob Biggs had good things to say about his second-year running back, not just about how he plays but also how he carries himself on and off the field. “He’s deceptively quick, he’s strong enough to break a lot of hand tackles and he’s just very determined,” Biggs said. “When it’s all said and done, he is the heart and soul of the team. I

think his personality and the way he plays dictates what type of team we are.” The Aggies’ offense wasted no time putting points on the board as the team showed off their no-huddle of-fense, marching 62 yards on a drive that took less than two minutes to open the game. The drive was capped off by an 18-yard touchdown from junior quar-terback Randy Wright to redshirt freshman wide receiver Tim Benton, who hauled in the pass with a jump-ing one-handed catch. “We had one-on-one coverage there so I just gave Ben a chance to catch it and he came up with a great play and a touchdown,” Wright said. “I thought Tim Benton’s one-hand-ed touchdown catch ignited the team and we were off and running from there,” Biggs said. The Aggies’ defense also flexed their muscles as they forced four turnovers and also had four sacks throughout the game. Senior linebacker Byron Gruendl had two picks and junior cornerback Dre Allen led the Aggies with eight tackles. “As a defense we came in just ready to play and we wanted to have our breakthrough game,” said junior de-fensive end Nick King. King led the team with 1.5 sacks in a dominating effort by the defense line that was constantly forcing the oppo-nent’s quarterback to scramble from

UC Davis has developed into quite a prominent front-runner in cross country. As the season enters full bloom, both the men and women runners have been gaining experience that will help them in the upcoming months of competition. At the Pac-12 preview hosted by UCLA, the Aggies tested their might by sending down their more experi-enced runners. Sarah Sumpter led the women by placing second overall and junior Alycia Cridebring finished fifth in the women’s 5k race. Four other UC Davis runners fin-ished in the top 30 of a strong field. As for this past weekend, the Aggies put other runners to the test at the Stanford Invitational. The women’s cross country team threw a handful of younger runners into the mix to gain some experience.

The Aggies sent four freshmen, which included Venus Shabgahi who placed 30th, the highest of the UC Davis women. Sophomore Melinda Zavala fol-lowed Shabgahi’s performance with a 22:21 in the 6k and junior Hilary Teaford finished three seconds after Zavala. The women’s runners placed 10th overall on Saturday. The UC Davis men’s cross country team showed considerable promise, de-spite sporting a less-experienced roster. Sophomore Trevor Halsted led the Aggies with a 24:37 that was good for a 12th-place finish on the 8k course. “On a day that saw the men’s course run considerably slower than in pre-vious years, Halsted cemented him-self as this team’s front-runner with his race,” said head coach Drew Wartenburg. The men’s team, which finished eighth at the Stanford Invite, is com-prised of freshmen and sophomores (10 and three, respectively) as well as

two lone juniors in Grayson Hough and Nathan Strum. UC Davis will enter the season as underdogs in most races, seeing that the freshmen have not yet established themselves on a collegiate level, but they show no signs of backing off. “Grayson did what we needed him to do, and it was good to see two freshmen step into scoring roles,” Wartenburg said. Both the men and women’s cross country teams have much to prove as they continue to plow through the year. The women will be defending their first ever Big West Conference ti-tle, while the men must make a name for themselves on the NCAA Division I level. The Aggies will split their squad into two groups on Oct. 13, one to go to the NCAA Pre-Nationals meet in Louisville, Ky. and the other much closer at the Bronco Invitational in Santa Clara, Calif.

PresentationsTwo students from the UC Davis School of Law presented their campaign to pass California Proposition 34, which would replace the death penalty with life without the possibility of parole. After public discussion and questions from Goss, Bottoms and Gilbert, an e-mail sign-up sheet circulated for further information and support.

Appointments and confirmations

Because two members of the senate were absent, Kapur moved to delay confirmations until the next meeting. After debate, the senate rejected the motion and the confirmations continued.

Aaron Hsu was confirmed as chair of the Elections Committee.

Haley Proehl was confirmed as director of Project Compost.

Jacqueline Liu was confirmed as speaker of the Outreach Assembly.

Dan Caldwell was confirmed as director of Aggie Threads.

Public discussionAll senators, chairs and executive directors welcomed each other for the start of the next year.

Romana Norton, campus counselor with Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and founder of food service unit The Pantry at UC Davis, discussed how the volunteer system of The Pantry was resulting in an under-utilization of the service.

Norton said that because the volunteers did not consist of a mixed group of gender, sexual orientation and race, many visitors to The Pantry became deterred. Goss proposed that Padgett author and introduce a bill that amends the introduction of the Pantry bill to include CAPS. The bill would aim to demonstrate that CAPS is permanently attached to The Pantry.

All senators agreed that the unit’s being underutilized and misrepresented was an issue that needed to be addressed and it was agreed that the discussion would continue outside of the meeting.

Meeting adjourned at 9:11 p.m.

Thursday’s puzzle solved

interesting. I apologize in advance for all the outlandish refer-ences to Star Wars, Disney, Pixar, Harry Potter, etc. But that’s the closest I can get to relating to society. Now, I’m not one to predict the future, but just as the Fates knew indoor plumbing was going to be big, I think the same goes for UC Davis. The Aggies have been push-ing the envelope in the recent past, and as the campus and UC Davis as an institution develops, it continues to become an attractive campus for the nation’s top stu-dents and athletes. So now we go forth into the new year, charging for-ward (“They call me Mr. Pig” battle cry optional) and on for the ride as UC Davis makes its push to the top. So much has happened this past summer, while the Aggies are in a very interesting crossroads in their de-veloping legacy. We had three athletes affiliated with UC Davis go to the Olympics, got a new Athletic Director that you may have seen at any of our NCAA sport competitions, had several coaching changes and had some shifts in the conference composition. Interested in any of these things? Well, then I guess I’ll see you in next week’s column. That should buy me enough time to think of what to say.

MATTHEW YUEN just met you and this is crazy, but here’s his email (calaggiesports@gmail.com) so e-mail him … maybe.

the pocket. “We came together in spring ball and we knew we had something special. We got a lot of young guys and we took that in,” he said. Special teams also made a huge contribution as red-shirt freshman kicker Brady Stuart booted in three field goals (44, 32 and 40 yards respectively). Sophomore line-backer Ryan Dimino also had a punt block that led to one of Turay’s touchdowns. The game was the first home game for the Aggies this year with all the students back from summer, cheering on their team. “We fed off the emotion and the energy from the crowd,” Biggs said. “We came down the tunnel and saw the stands full with all the students and that ignited the team and got everyone really excited. Yes, it’s a game, you’re playing for yourselves and your team, but you’re also playing for the student body and when you see that kind of support, it makes you want to play well. I thought they came out and entertained very well tonight.” Wright felt this performance was particularly satisfying. “[There was a] filled house tonight and it was just nice to get this win under our belt in front of our fans in our home opener in the Big Sky,” Wright said.
