Reed, Vaughn headed to MLB
The California State University sys-tem recently prohibited school-related travel to Tijuana, Mexico,causing a backlash of studentprotests and non-compliance.
Students have taken to the Webto organize, creating the Facebookpage “We Wanna Tijuana - Studentsand Faculty United Against theCSU’s Tijuana Ban.”
The website contains links tovarious news articles written aboutthe ban on travel.
On May 22, approximately 40members of the Facebook groupwent to Tijuana to display their dis-approval of the travel ban.
While there, the group visitedart galleries, sat leisurely in parksand watched street-performingclowns. These images are a starkcontrast to the violence which hasbeen linked with Tijuana.
“What we are trying to illustratethere was a huge disconnectbetween the reality of Tijuana,which is one of families playing andof people going about their dailylives, versus chancellor (Charles)Reed’s version of it, which is one ofviolence,” co-creator of the groupJason Fritz said.
Fritz, a resident of Tijuana,makes the trip between Tijuana andSan Diego several times a week.
“Like other cities of that size itdoes have its problems, but it’snothing that places like Baltimoreor Oakland don’t have,” Fritz said.“I live there every day and I see peo-ple go about their daily lives.”
The travel warnings for the areahave been issued because of vio-lence caused by the activity of drugcartels in Mexico.
According to the U.S.Department of State’s website,Mexican authorities and drug car-tels have had fights resemblingsmall-unit combat in certain cities.Tijuana was on the list of citieswhere these firefights occur.
This violence hit home withAmericans when earlier this year,three people linked to the U.S.Consulate in Juarez, Mexicowere killed.
However, Director ofInternational Business James Gerbersaid this violence is not really indica-tive of the way Tijuana actually is.
“It’s pretty clear in my view thechancellor’s office doesn’t under-stand what they’re doing or whythey’re doing it,” Gerber said.“They’re responding to the messageof lawyers who are making a legaldecision which is completely irrele-vant to what’s happening.”
According to Gerber, violence inTijuana has decreased in the pasttwo years.
Gerber was researching deporteesat the time the ban was placed, and
has not been able to send students toTijuana to collect research for him.
“What’s bothersome to me indi-vidually, as a faculty member, is thatyou have the chancellor of one ofthe largest university systems in theworld making uninformed deci-sions which affect the quality of edu-cations,” Gerber said. “We all knowTijuana has a bad image. It is a dan-gerous unsavory place in many peo-ples’ minds and I think that’s part ofwhat they are reacting to.”
According to Gerber, SDSUhas sent Chancellor Reed a pack-et of information in hopes ofmaking SDSU exempt from the
travel ban, but nothing has hap-pened as a result.
Because of its proximity to SanDiego — the border is about twentymiles from downtown — Tijuana wasa very accessible place for studentslooking for international experience.
For classes requiring interna-tional travel, Tijuana provided aplace to fulfill that obligation with-out forcing students to buy expen-sive plane tickets. Now, studentswill have to exclude Tijuana frominternational travel in light of theCSU’s ban on student-related travelto the border town.

Running store does more than sell shoes
Pheidippides, the herald fabled to have runfrom Marathon, Greece to Athens toannounce the defeat of Persia probablywasn’t sporting the latest Nikes. He mayhave even been barefoot, although thereare some runners today who think thatmay be the best way to run.
Whatever footwear theories runners sub-scribe to, there is a staggering amount ofshoe choices available and finding the prop-er pair can be daunting. Many stores offerlittle advice or help, and people who orderonline are even more detached.
Road Runner Sports is the hands-onsolution. Since 1983, Road Runner Sportshas been offering runners knowledgeableand detailed advice as to what sneakers towear for optimal performance.
Eric Sablan, a sales associate who hasbeen working at Road Runner for morethan two years, said that Road Runner’smission is to help everybody feel greatwith their running and their working out— just to make everyone as comfortable aspossible in their running shoes.
To ensure customers receive the correctshoe, Road Runner offers Shoe Dog, anintricate process by which trained runningspecialists analyze how each customer runs.
“We look at how your arch and anklesflex,” Sablan said. “We look at your footposition when you strike and how youstrike. And then we try and figure outwhat is the best support for you.”
The Shoe Dog process begins with cus-tomers removing their shoes while a spe-cialist asks customers about their runninghabits: what surface they run on, distance,current shoe, injuries and if they wearorthotics. Following the questionnaire, a
specialist will measure a customers’ feet,something many shoe retailers no longerdo, according to Sablan.
Next, customers are told to stand on asquare, cushioned pad. The pad measurescustomers’ balance, arch height and howpressure and weight are distributedthroughout the feet. These measurementsare displayed on a television screen andexplained to customers by the specialist.
Once the stationary part of the assess-ment is complete, customers, still barefoot,mount a treadmill for a brief run. As cus-tomers run, a camera positioned behind themachine records each step. After the run,the representative plays the video back inslow motion and analyzes each step, meas-uring gait, foot position and foot flexibility.
All of this information is explained to cus-tomers and recorded by the specialist on aform. The form contains recommendationsfor a few shoes to try along with recom-mended inserts and socks.
Customers bring this form to a salesassociate who then retrieves the shoes andother equipment. They are encouraged totest the shoes either on the treadmill oreven outside to ensure a good fit.
The Shoe Dog process comes at no extracost to customers and does not affect theretail price of shoes or other items in thestore. A limited version of the Shoe Dogassessment is available on the Road Runnerwebsite, but the in-store analysis is moreinvolved and thorough.
The Road Runner website also allowsshoppers to purchase shoes and otheritems. Visit www.roadrunnersports.com formore information.
Road Runner Sports caters to all levels ofrunner and exercise enthusiasts.
“Surprisingly, it’s not the hardcore run-ner,” Sablan said when asked who the
store’s typical customer was. “It’s a lot ofjust your everyday person looking to getstarted. And when they start with us, a lotof times they stay here because they knowthey’re going to get the correct service.”
Road Runner Sports has many locationsthroughout the country. The San Diegostore is open seven days a week and is a 15-
minute drive from San Diego State, nearClairemont Mesa Boulevard at 5553 Copley Dr.
Even with the right shoe runners willnot be instantly transformed into UsainBolt. However, Road Runner Sports hopesthat with their help, customers will enjoytheir workouts more and have a better run-ning experience.

Cory Vaughn has taken the first bigstep toward his dream.
The San Diego State junior out-fielder signed with the New York Metsafter they selected him in the fourthround of the MLB Draft, 122 overall.
When asked if he had any hesi-t at ion in s igning so quickly,Vaughn laughed.
“Nope, not at all,” he said. “With-out a doubt, (I’m) gone.”
Vaughn told The Daily Aztec lastmonth he would leave SDSU if he wasdrafted, and said finding out hisfuture team was a surprising andexciting experience.
“I can’t ask for much better,” hesaid, still energized a day after hearingthe big news. “There are a lot of peo-ple that don’t get the opportunity toget picked up – I’m fortunate to getdrafted by any team.”
The Aztec heard the news early,but played a little prank on his fami-ly so they could find out with the restof the nation.
“I was in my gym and I got a phonecall from the Mets’ guy in the thirdround,” Vaughn said. “He said, ‘If wedraft you in the fourth would you belikely to sign?’ And I said ‘Yeah.’ So hetold me they’d take me.
“So when the fourth roundcomes up I was playing dumbaround my family like I didn’t knowif I was going to get drafted or not.My mom was sitting there panicking
and then my name pops up andeveryone started screaming.”
The experience hit a little deeperfor the Vaughn family Tuesday morn-ing than some other familiesinvolved in the draft. A slight sense ofdejà vu struck Vaughn’s father, GregVaughn, who was drafted in the firstround of the 1986 MLB Draft andwent on to have a successful 14-yearcareer in the majors.
“Dad was super happy for me,”Vaughn said of his father’s reac-tion. “He started crying. The onething he said was, ‘Now all the hardwork begins.’”
The next step, after some briefnegotiations with the scouting direc-tor, will be for the former SDSU super-star to report to training with the
Brooklyn Cyclones, the Mets’ high A-level squad.
Aztec head coach Tony Gwynncould not be contacted for commentafter the draft, but he spoke withwww.619Sports.net earlier this monthand had this to say about potentiallylosing Vaughn from his roster:
“In Cory’s case I think he feelslike he’s ready to take that nextstep. We try and emphasize threeyears of college first and (Vaughnand junior pitcher Addison Reed)have done that.
“Money’s going to be on the table,”Gwynn added with a laugh. “I cancompete with instruction and educa-tion for the next level, but I can’t com-pete with cash.”

The MWC expands, thenshrinksThe Mountain WestConference added Boise Stateto its institution earlier thismonth, but shrunk down toits normal size a few dayslater when Utah bolted forthe Pac-10, keeping the MWCat nine teams.
“The addition of BoiseState to the Mountain WestConference in 2011 was madewith the possibility of Utahmoving on to the Pac-10 inmind,” San Diego State athlet-ic director Jim Sterk said in astatement. “(The addition ofBoise State) puts the MWC ina stronger position to achieveBCS status than a week ago.Utah will be missed, but theleague will move forward,stronger than before.”
Both teams will join theirnew conferences in 2011.
Reed goes in third roundSDSU junior ace AddisonReed was selected by theChicago White Sox in thethird round of the 2010 MLBDraft this month. In his firstseason as a collegiate starterthis year, he posted an 8-2record with a 2.50 earnedrun average.
“Speechless,” Reed toldwww.mlb.com after he wasdrafted. “Still, people are ask-ing me, and it’s still so surreal.
It’s been a dream of minesince I was born. Baseball’sthe only thing I’ve ever playedand obviously what I’ve beenworking my whole life for,and now the day it comes,it’s just awesome, (an) indescribable feeling.”

Look out: Everyone’s favorite Saturday morn-ing puppets have grown up and moved fromSesame Street to Avenue Q — a road whereknowing your ABCs isn’t enough to survive.
The play “Avenue Q” focuses on the life ofPrinceton, a twenty-something searching for hispurpose in life on the street Avenue Q in NewYork City. It is here he meets a colorful cast ofcharacters including Kate Monster, ChristmasEve, Lucy the Slut and Gary Coleman, all ofwhom are dealing with the real world.
Even though most of the puppets are basedon “Sesame Street” characters, these multicol-ored residents are intended for a more matureaudience. The cast still sings and dances, butthis time it’s songs such as “Everyone’s A LittleBit Racist” and “The Internet Is For Porn” thatwill have toes tapping.
Recently, The Daily Aztec was able to inter-view Princeton about his life on Avenue Q.
TThhee DDaaiillyy AAzztteecc:: What’s it like living onAvenue Q?PPrriinncceettoonn:: Everyone is always singing, andwe all live in harmony; living on Avenue Q isexciting because you learn something newand exciting every day.
DDAA:: Do you visit other areas of New York a lot?What is your favorite tourist attraction?PP:: Sometimes I have a hard time getting outof my apartment, but I have great friends
who get me out to explore the city with them.I think my favorite place in the city is theEmpire State Building – just don’t ever throwanything off the top!
DDAA:: What is playing on your iPod right now?PP:: The Beatles, some TV theme songs, andone of my favorites right now, “I Have to SayI Love You in a Song.”
DDAA:: What do you like to do in your free time?PP:: Look for jobs. I try to date and I like justspending time alone in my apartment, too.
DDAA:: Can you give some advice for anyone who isstruggling right now?PP:: Always be yourself, don’t be afraid to takea risk or two. Remember that even if you gotyour BA in something as stupid as English,being you doesn’t have to suck!
DDAA:: What is your favorite quote and why?PP:: “Everything in life is only for now.” Thisquote has been very important to me in myquest to find my purpose.

AALLLLIIEE DDAAUUGGHHEERRTTYYM A N A G I N G E D I T O R
Willingly watching a film starring JoanRivers, a woman who sounds like she smokestwo packs a day, is an accomplishment. Aninitial reaction to the documentary “JoanRivers: A Piece of Work” may be that the filmwill be a haphazardly obnoxious depiction ofRivers’ obsession with plastic surgery. But thefilm is surprisingly delightful and those whoare fans of trashy reality television shows willespecially enjoy it. The film is a perfect lengthat 84 minutes because the directors realizedthey needed to keep it short; any longer andit is doubtful viewers could take much moreof Rivers’ rasping. By the time the movie isover, however, people will find themselvesrooting for Rivers in her quest for stardom.
In the beginning, Rivers acts exactly howone would expect her to. She is crass, over-botoxed and angry at the world for misun-derstanding her atypical humor. Her desper-ate attempt for media approval is overwhelm-ingly obvious and, at times, cringe-worthy.Rivers’ frozen face displays little to no emo-tion whenever she speaks to the camera, butshe eventually warms up to viewers with herHollywood tales of woe.
The first odd thing Rivers reveals is thatshe takes absolutely everything personally,regardless of being in an industry that is inthe business of knocking people down.Despite her fear of being made fun of, shewants people to laugh with her, even thoughshe is laughing at herself.
Rivers demonstrates an excellent workethic by taping shows daily across thecountry, which allows her to afford suchluxuries as a marble telephone and an
apartment in New York City that looks asthough it belongs to a French royal. Shemay be past her prime, but still believes shehasn’t yet hit her big break and will contin-ue working until she does.
A nice surprise appearance is made byKathy Griffin, whom Rivers is overwhelm-ingly envious of because of her “youth.”Griffin shows her more serious side by com-menting on how Rivers opened the door forfemale comedians. It is one of the moretouching moments of the film as it dawns onthe audience how much of an impact Rivershas made for comediennes.
This realization is encouraged by thefootage shown of a younger, more vibrantRivers. For those born after 1980, it is a sur-prise to see Rivers’ natural face — one that wasby no means ugly. She glowed in the limelighton “The Tonight Show” with host JohnnyCarson, where now her plastic face merelysheens when the occasional spotlightshines down on her. It begs the question,where did that woman who was once socheerful and witty go?
If the film’s mission is for viewers to takeRivers’ side, it succeeds. It is the story of anunderdog, fighting her way to the top only tobe met by a bundle of obstacles. Hopefullythis film will give Rivers what she needs — aboost of fame to keep her calendar busy andher appetite for fame satisfied.

TOADSTOOL CHRONICLES
’ve got a date thisThursday. First time in awhile. I’m supposed tomeet her at Pacific Beachand ask her questions and
listen to her stupid answers. Thenmaybe at the end of the date I’llmake a move on her to prove I’mnot gay. Maybe she accepts,maybe she doesn’t. If she doesn’tshe’ll probably conjure up someexcuse like, “I’m sorry, I neverkiss on the first date.” I’ll respondby saying something along thelines of, “Oh, that’s admirable,”and play the sensitive d-bag whileon the inside I’ll seethe with rage.
Maybe down the line she’llsoften up to me and surrender tomy advances. Maybe we’ll take ita step further and consummate aserious relationship. Maybe we’llmove in together, buy a dog andname it Scooter. Maybe we’ll getmarried and find a picket fenceand build a house behind it.
Did you notice what just hap-pened? See, this is the problemwith guys. We insanely envisionthe spectacle way before itunfolds. We get so excited when agirl actually likes us because ithappens once every solar eclipse,whereas women constantly havemen orbiting around them like
the moons of Saturn. It’s customary for me to write
these columns in intervals. Forexample, I wrote what you justread three days ago, and sincethen I’ve experienced the mostexcruciating writer’s block. It’s 2a.m. right now on Friday, June 18and today has been one hell of acrappy day. I missed game sevenof the NBA Championships andmy fat, obnoxious neighbor ishaving fat, obnoxious sex down-stairs as I type these words. I canbarely hear myself think with thethumping in the background.And to top it all off, the girl I’mgoing out with Thursday just putup a status on Facebook saying,in very sneaky terms, how muchshe misses her ex-boyfriend.
So allow me to switch gears.To stand her up, or not to
stand her up? That is the ques-tion. It’s a fact that people whowear their Facebook pages ontheir sleeves are bores, and shejust had to share with the worldher innermost feelings on somepetty social networking site. Inthe end, if things do happenbetween us, I’d hate to be materi-
al for her little whimsical updates.Doesn’t the act of reducing yourmost personal feelings into a fewwords demean and discredit youremotions? The answer is yes. I’vecome to the conclusion that thisgirl is as deep as a puddle, and Iwill not see her Thursday.
Snap! I rule. It feels good to choose
not to be one of Saturn’s moonsfor once. But “Def Jam’s How tobe a Player” taught me it’s alsonot good to be Saturn either. Sowhere do I go from here?
Well, after careful deliberation,I’ve decided I’m going to watchUSA murder Slovenia in a coupleof hours and carry on with my day.
It’s about 5 a.m. now and thethumping downstairs has dieddown. The withering anger ofmissing the championship haspassed and the anticipation for anew day is upon me. I’m feelinggood. And about the girl situation— well, scientists are saying thenext solar eclipse is 2017, so it’slooking up for me.
