Discussion about the California StateUniversity budget continued lastweek during an informational tele-conference held by CSU PublicAffairs. With the recent victory of thesalary cap for all new CSU presidents,it was time to turn attention to thevulnerability of CSU governmentfunding. Currently, Gov. JerryBrown’s CSU budget proposal for thenew fiscal year calls for a “flat budg-et” that would decrease funding by$750 million. In addition, there is a$200 million trigger cut that can beavoided if Brown’s new tax initiativeis passed. This initiative wouldincrease the California sales tax a halfof a percentage point and theincome taxes of those earning$250,000 or more for five years.

Liz Chapin, the CSU Public Affairsrepresentative, said “The $200 mil-lion trigger cut would reduce CSUstate funding to the lowest level it’sbeen since 1996. However, today theCSU enrolls 95,000 more students.”

Students know that a lack of fundscould lead to several equally damag-ing consequences. Employment andenrollment could be reduced, whichis a grim option because San DiegoState just broke records for its num-ber of Fall 2012 applicants.

A tuition increase is another pos-sible solution. Although theincrease of $500 in the fall is nearlyguarenteed, the board said thiswould only occur if all other optionshad been exhausted.

Crucial university programs arenot the only victims in the budgetreduction; this cut would also meana cut in financial aid. In Brown’s2012-2013 budget proposal, a GPA of3.25 must be met to receive CalGrant A. The GPA is currently set at3.0. Cal Grant A is specifically desig-nated to assist students entering afour-year university, though thoseattending community college candefer the grant for two years.

Fortunately, the allotted amountfor the Pell Grant has been main-tained at $5,550. However, it is nowonly available to students for 12semesters instead of 18. Most impor-

tantly, the six-month grace periodgiven to those with student loans hasbeen temporarily eliminated; interestfees will start to accumulate immedi-ately after a student graduates.

“With all these changes, financialaid has just now become a line itemin the budget instead of being some-thing incredibly essential like it is,”Stephanie Thara, web communica-tions specialist at CSU, said.

While many students are lamentingthe foreboding decreases to the budg-et, the CSU system is teaming up withthe California State Student Associationto fight these cuts, especially thosedirectly affecting the Cal Grant.

Executive Director of CSSA MilesNevin commented on the partner-ship by stating, “We feel and we’vecome to an agreement that if wework together in representing theCSU’s needs and interests both at alocal and capital level, that we will bebetter off in the end. We have a high-er likelihood of getting what weneed from the state.”

In December, the President of CSULong Beach F. King Alexander also metwith President Barack Obama to dis-cuss the issue of college affordability.

These are just two examples of theefforts being made toward gainingback state financial support on theCSU’s road to recovery.

CSU budget continues to suffer

Israel-Iran tensions on the riseU.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta feelsconfident an Israeli attack on Iran is immi-nent and likely to happen as soon as April.

This comes after years of mountingsuspicions Iran has been developingnuclear weapons, despite increased eco-nomic sanctions imposed on Iran by theUnited Nations. However, Iran continuesto claim its nuclear program is purely togenerate energy for civilian use.

In the wake of growing suspicions,Iran’s leaders have not been what mostwould consider diplomatic. Iran’sSupreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameneirecently stated war against Iran wouldbe “detrimental” for the U.S. anddescribed Israel as “the canceroustumor of this region” that “needs to beremoved and will be removed.”

These developments have made itincreasingly difficult to convince Israelpeace talks are the best course of action indealing with Iran as a nuclear threat.

U.S. think tank Bipartisan PolicyCenter recently released a report thatsuggested the U.S begin making militarypreparations, which will make it appar-ent to Iran the U.S. is ready to take mili-tary action if needed.

US embassy in Syria closedThe U. S. embassy in Syria was shutdown yesterday amidst v io lencebetween protestors and the Syrian gov-ernment. Embassy officials and staffwere promptly evacuated.

The Associated Press reported themove as an attempt to place pressure onSyrian president Bashar Assad to end theviolence between protestors and govern-ment troops.

The embassy itself is located in theSyrian capital of Damascus. On Saturday,Assad began shelling the city of Homs.Numerous world leaders, includingPresident Barack Obama, have

expressed their disdain and absolutedisapproval with the Assad regime’shandling of the uprisings.

The embassy closure also comes asnations are stepping up pressure on Assadto step down as president. Arab Leaguemonitors were dispatched to Syria earlierthis year in order to assess the situationand evaluate the Assad regime’s positiongoing forward.

Attention is now turned on Russia andChina, as they moved to veto a U.N. reso-lution yesterday that would have imposedtougher sanctions on Syria as well asAssad’s resignation.

Arab League Chief Nabil Elaraby issueda statement saying that Russia and Chinahave lost their credit with the Arab worldin the blocking of the resolution.

SDSU wants to regroup

Having a winning streak snapped isone of the toughest obstacles anyteam can face. How players react toa loss can easily determine the restof the season. The San Diego Statewomen’s basketball team (17-5, 7-1MW) saw its milestone 13-gamestreak come to an end last Saturday,but the team already has one thingin mind. Quite simply: It’s time tostart another streak.

“We’re in first place; people wantwhat we have. TCU wanted it, Theyhad a plan, executed it and itworked,” junior guard Chelsea

Hopkins said. “But we’re still in posi-tion to win the conference.”

Although Hopkins and the Aztecsare already looking ahead, credit mustbe given to their accomplishment.

SDSU’s average margin of victoryduring the run was a dominating16.2 points per game.

Not to mention it happened at theperfect time. SDSU has establishedan “Aztec Basketball” intimidationfactor according to Hopkins.

“Our defensive intensity hasbrought us to where we are today,”Hopkins said. “We all know what wehave to do as a team to win and getback on track. The biggest factor willbe our performance in practice.”

Averaging 11.5 points, 6.4rebounds and 6.9 assists in confer-

ence play, Hopkins has led the team,doing it all with a knee that she saidis only 80 percent healthy.

Hopkins was selected as the pre-season Newcomer of the Year in theconference, but has been playing asif she’s been an Aztec for muchlonger. Technically she has, redshirt-ing last season after transferringfrom Duke University.

She was unanimously selected asthe SDSU captain at the end of lastseason even though she had neverplayed a game. The Aztecs selectedHopkins primarily because of herleadership during practice last sea-son, but lately the team has beenlacking focus.

SDSU head coach Beth Burnsmentioned the team has struggled inrecent practices from a concentra-tion standpoint. After last Saturday’sloss, the Aztecs have been humbledand practice is all the players arelooking forward to now. The teamhas a bye this Wednesday, but thatdoesn’t mean SDSU will take anydays off as UNLV will arrive thisSaturday to Viejas Arena.

“Maybe we would’ve taken a littlebreak if we didn’t lose, but since welost I have to stomach it for the entireweek. That’s the hardest part, but itwill push me to get back in the gymwith my team quick,” Hopkins said.

So now it all comes full circle.These next few strings of practicesare Hopkins’ perfect chance to proveonce again why she was selected asAztec captain.

“We have a target on our back,”Hopkins said. “We’ll be locked in andI know we’ll be ready.”

Local food vitalto urban reform

f you were one of millions ofviewers watching Sunday’sSuper Bowl game, I’d like tooffer my humblest sympathies.No, I’m not talking to you,

Patriot fans (the team in the shinywhite and blue, for those fellow non-football savvy readers), or to the poorgentlemen who indulged in toomuch Bud Light and chest-bumping.This is for those subjected to M.I.A.’smentally scarring and obscene use ofher middle finger during the SuperBowl halftime show.

Following the event, the ParentsTelevision Council — which youmight remember as the feces-flingers protesting Janet Jackson’s“show and tell” during the SuperBowl XXXVIII halftime program —published a statement denouncingNBC, the NFL and the singer herself.“M.I.A. used a middle finger shame-lessly to bring controversial atten-tion to herself, while effectivelytelling an audience filled with chil-dren, ‘f– you,’” the PTC stated.

Aside from the obviously non-hyperbolic rhetoric implying half-time shows are projected on thesides of jungle gyms in every play-ground, the PTC put forward a solidsecond point: “Instead of preventingindecent material, (NBC and theNFL) enabled it.”

No one can argue Madonna,Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. aren’t poten-tially indecent. But few popularmusicians are decent nowadays.The days of good, clean rock ‘n’ rollare dead and rotting — if they reallyever existed at all. Johnny Cashwasn’t the first musician famous forflipping the bird and M.I.A. won’t bethe last. Popular music and so-called “indecent material” are inex-tricably intertwined, and neither aregoing away any time soon.

So, you might ask, how do weprotect the innocent and easily cor-rupted minds of American childrenfrom being damaged in the future?Simple: Don’t let your children watchthe Super Bowl. Sure, it might not bea great idea to subject youngins toracy music and, well, nipples. But is itany better for children to watch 350pound men hurling themselves vio-lently against each other at brain-damaging speeds to gain possessionof a seemingly magical brown ball?Last time I checked, that wasn’t anintegral part of the kindergarten cur-riculum. Next year, hire a babysitter,throw on a particularly lengthymarathon of Pixar movies and set upthe kiddies with a Matterhorn-sizedpile of candy. Trust me, they’ll behappier anyway. Just try to take iteasy on the chest bumping.

M.I.A., flip PTC the bird

ast Tuesday’s San DiegoCity Council meetingproved to be a criticalmoment in shaping thefuture of this city. The

council voted unanimously toapprove a set of reforms to urbanagriculture regulations. The newrules now allow backyard chickens,bees and even miniature goats aturban residences. The change alsoincreases opportunities for the sale offresh produce at farmers markets,farm stands and on-site at urban gar-dens and farms.

Though these steps may seem triv-ial, they are both the culmination of along and hard-fought campaign andthe beginning of a more profoundtransformation. Organizations such asthe International Rescue Committee,the San Diego 1 in 10 Coalition andSan Diego Food Not Lawns, amongothers, have labored to increaseawareness of urban food issues andpush positive reforms for years now.Their hard work has begun to mani-fest tangible results – results that willimprove the lives of many SanDiegans in a very real way.

Urban agriculture is a nexus issue.It could potentially contribute to thesolution of many of our most press-ing issues: poverty, public health,crime, environmental degradationand the decay of our urban land-scape. Selling homegrown producecan be a source of both healthy food

and supplemental income for strug-gling low-income families. It can pro-vide more affordable, nutritious foodto a population plagued by obesityand diabetes in this age of fast foodand processed garbage. Sourcingfood from local, sustainably grownfarms and gardens also drasticallyreduces environmental impact fromagricultural chemicals, machinery andtransportation emissions.

Now that funding for urban rede-velopment has largely dried up, wecan take this opportunity to focus onurban agriculture as a means ofrenewal and transformation. Not onlydo urban gardens, small farms andfarmers markets beautify our neigh-borhoods, they make them safer,more livable and bring a sense ofcommunity currently lacking in manyareas. And the beauty of this route isit can be quite inexpensive.

As important as decisions like thecity council’s can be, this movementis more about the everyday actions ofSan Diego citizens. We must all striveto be more than just consumers.

FICT ION

The burden of watert seems these days my hoursare spent waiting for every-thing: the water to boil, myemail to load, the tomato vineto sprout.

I’ve been thinking about timelately. How pliable it all is. As a kid,you think time stretches on forever.There’s so much distance betweenyou and death. Then, when you’reolder, perspective teaches you timeaccelerates with your own acceler-ation. Even if your days are slow,the years move fast. I imaginewhen you’re really ancient, timelooks like a border. We’re all head-ed west, toward that last border. Iimagine for myself, discovering theafterlife will be like reaching thePacific, and I’ll be able to see thetrue horizon of things.

This is what I think about whilestanding in line to purchase my gro-ceries. When I’m forced to wait, I’mconsumed with impatience.

The man ahead of me putsdown a bag of birdseed. He hastrouble making a decision as towhich pack of gum he should buy.The conveyor belt moves forwardbut he stays there.

We’re all crippled by choice.There are just too many options outthere. Really, is cinnamon gum thatdifferent from the spearmint? Theregret he will feel from choosing thewrong pack might affect his entireweek. At least it seems that way ifhe’s willing to spend so much timeon a single pack of gum.

When I get home I call Calvin tosee how everything is. I can’t sleepnow that he’s out of the house. He’sgone to the university, finally. I stillremember the day he graduatedfrom kindergarten.

His timeline will be different frommine. At some point, I read in anewspaper article, humans will haveto choose to be immortal or not.Specialized nanobots will attach toour blood cells to fight infectionsand repair damaged tissue. Thatmight be a moral battle his genera-tion will face — to choose mortalityor to live forever. Me, I’d rather takemy allotted time and move on. Riskwhat else is out there.

Time estranges us from ourselves.Sometimes I look in the mirror, seemy features all scrunched up asthough being swallowed by somesinkhole beneath my nose and Idon’t recognize myself. I still seemyself as a young woman. My hair’sshort now. The older I get, theshorter I cut it. As a girl, I wore itdown to my waist, even thoughcombing it was difficult. I like toswim these days, in my old age. Mymornings are spent at the commu-nity pool. The short hair is easier todeal with. With long hair, the burden

of water lingers with me. I think tomyself, “I’ve sacrificed the comb fora bathing suit, and still my days arefilled with counting strokes.”

Calvin doesn’t answer his phone.He’s probably off enjoying himselfout there. I put a kettle on and listento talk radio while washing up fordinner. The background noisesoothes me. Something about hear-ing other people’s voices — I don’tfeel as lonely. The kettle’s ready. As Iwait for my tea to brew, I wonder ifI’ll rest well tonight. Some nights, Ifind myself thinking about just howbig space really is. All that expansion.

Some nights I think of all my regrets,and wonder if space is like that: Nomatter how close you think you areto reaching something, no matterhow much bigger it seems to you,it’s still millions of miles away, andthere’s so much open water to getthrough. That’s the thing about hori-zons. You never know when you’vereached one, and there’s always onemore to cross far, far ahead.
