UC Board of Regents considers multi-year budget plan POSSIBLE TUITION FEE INCREASE SCENARIOS Plan could take student fees and tuition over $22,000 for 2015-16 academic year

By Damian Ortellado | Staff dortellado@dailycal.org

SAN FRANCISCO — The UC Board of Regents was polarized Thursday when it confronted a proposed multi-year budget plan, as board members simultaneously accepted the need for a long-term budget and fought the possibility of additional tuition and fees, which, if state funding stagnates, could top $22,000 under the plan. The board’s members considered — and, at times, vehemently rejected — the possibility of increases, which could take tuition and fees to $22,068 for the 2015-2016 academic year. Many of the board members, expressing a need to take urgent action, formulated other solutions to the university’s looming funding problems, including increased corporate sponsorship and an ad campaign to spark public action against the state’s cuts to higher education funding. “I think I speak for all of the regents when I say that this scenario that we’re looking at is not what we want,” said board Chair Sherry Lansing. “I know what the worst case scenario

is, and I don’t want to accept it.” The plan would ideally increase fees 8 percent per year to accompany an 8 percent increase in state funding that the UC would request. In the absence of any increase in state funding, fees would increase at a rate of 16 percent per year, which would cause fees to cross the $22,000 level, according to Nathan Brostrom, UC executive vice president for business operations. But many of the members of the board advocated for seeking additional funding from outside sources, such as corporations, in lieu of further discussing the logistics of the multi-year budget plan, ­­which would depend on funding from the state government. “I have no faith in Sacramento to ever do the right thing,” said Regent Richard Blum. “Where is the money? It’s in the private sector, it’s with the corporations, it’s with the wealthy individuals.” In rejecting any potential tuition and fee increases, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that a work group, which he designed to discuss funding for students throughout California’s higher education system, would be meeting later in the day to further address solutions that would avoid putting such a burden on students. “I appreciate the need to do a multi-year

Deferred maintenance

Progress slow with vacant Telegraph Avenue lot Overdue construction

on campus buildings’ roofs is now underway By Mihir Zaveri | Senior Staff mzaveri@dailycal.org

Rasputin employees were seen cleaning the vacant lot at Haste and Telegraph. Last week, the city voted to pursue foreclosure of the lot. By Adelyn Baxter | Staff abaxter@dailycal.org A week after Berkeley City Council voted unanimously to pursue foreclosure against the owner of the vacant Telegraph Avenue lot just south of the UC Berkeley campus, little visible progress has been made. Although the city has finally decided to force local business owner Ken Sarachan to repay the nearly $641,000 outstanding lien for the lot on the corner of Haste Street and Telegraph Avenue — which has sat vacant for over 20 years — Sarachan’s next move is anyone’s guess. Rasputin Music employees were seen clearing the lot of debris briefly Wednesday afternoon, but employee TJ Hamilton denied it was in preparation for any kind of construction activities. “Whenever the owner thinks it’s getting messy, we clean it out,” Hamilton said. Although Sarachan — who owns several businesses on Telegraph, includ-

ing Rasputin — could not be reached for comment, the letter he submitted to Mayor Tom Bates before last week’s special meeting did warn that he would “spend all the resources necessary to provide a maximum defense of the contract in court.” Sarachan has maintained that repeated miscommunication and slow processing on the part of the city’s Planning and Development Department are at fault for delaying development at the site. No word has been given on whether Sarachan has responded to the city’s decision to initiate foreclosure. According to Bates, Sarachan essentially has two choices now that the city has decided to foreclose on the lien — he can either pay the $640,957.39 owed, or he can choose to fight the decision in court. “Everybody is still very concerned that things move rapidly,” Bates said. “The only thing I know for sure is that we’re moving forward with getting the money he owes.” City Attorney Zach Cowan said the process of initiating non-judicial foreclosure

begins when the city submits a notice to the owner, which has not yet been sent. The notice will also establish a deadline by which the owner must pay the lien. “The City ran out of patience,” Cowan said in an email. “In general, we like to give people ample opportunity to do what they’re supposed to do and what they promise to do. Foreclosure is a serious step.” UC Berkeley ASUC Senator Andrew Albright has been vocal in supporting the council’s decision to foreclose on the lot. Albright said he sees the vacant lot as a health and safety concern for students and hopes to see affordable student housing built on the site. At Wednesday night’s ASUC meeting, Albright submitted a bill supporting the council’s decision to foreclose on the lot and encouraging the city to continue “urging the owner to build housing” on the site. The bill passed unanimously, and ASUC President Vishalli Loomba and External Affairs Vice President Joey Freeman will co-author a letter to be sent to City Council within the next week.

As Kathryn Wayne walks between the bookshelves on the fourth floor of Doe Library, she recalls more than five years of anxiety. The roof and gutters of the library spouted leaks every year, said Wayne, the fine arts librarian and head of the art history and classics library, and seeping water threatened the fine arts library’s collection of manuscripts, folios and books. “It was heartbreaking because they were extremely valuable,” she said. Now, plastic covers the library’s shelves. Yellow and silver scaffolding clings to Doe’s exterior on two sides as construction crews work to finally repair the nearly 100-year-old library’s roof and gutters. Outside Giannini Hall and Hesse Hall, similar repairs are in progress. Orange flags on top of Evans Hall signify that its roof repair will soon be underway. In all, campus officials targeted 11 buildings’ roofs for repair as part of a new strategy to tackle UC Berkeley’s problem of deferred maintenance — maintenance that should have been performed at some point, but was postponed due to a lack of funds. Campus officials hope to have the repairs completed by December at the latest. In previous years, the campus would repair whatever main-

tenance problems were most pressing, often an assortment of elevators, roofs, fire alarm systems and heating and ventilation systems. For the latest program, paid for by funds obtained in the 2010-11 fiscal year, the focus is roofs. “The strategy was to bring a little more focus to the visibility of the program and to tackle things as broad categories instead of scattered projects that were essentially unrelated,” said Assistant Vice Chancellor for Physical Plant and Campus Services Chris Christofferson. As the oldest UC campus, UC Berkeley’s maintenance problems are unparalleled in the university system. Officials estimate more than $650 million in deferred maintenance. The UC system reports more than $2 billion. The backlog continues to grow every year. But funds to reduce that number are scarce. As state funding continues to disappear, the UC and its campuses have instituted furloughs, layoffs and tuition increases among other cost-cutting strategies, leaving funding for building maintenance relatively low in priority. Until the 2010-11 fiscal year, UC Berkeley borrowed $5 million each year to fix the highest priority maintenance problems, which have varied from loose fixtures on Sather Gate to withering tiles on the top of the Campanile. For the roof repairs, UC Berkeley borrowed $10 million,

Frustrated by Berkeley landlords refusing to return security deposits, student tenants and their Berkeley City Council representatives protested Wednesday night at a landlord lobby meeting. The protest — which took place just before the Berkeley Property Owners Association’s monthly meeting at the North Berkeley Senior Center at 5:30 p.m. — was orchestrated by Councilmember Kriss Worthington and Housing Advisory Commissioner Alejandro Soto-Vigil, who is also a legislative aide for Worthington. City Rent Board Commissioners and Councilmembers Jesse Arreguin and Max Anderson also spoke at the event. Alyson Sato, a former Berkeley tenant and UC Berkeley graduate, sued her landlord, Eula Lekas of Lekas & Associates, in small claims court after Lekas failed to return her security deposit check. Though Sato won her “security deposit back with damages by judicial decreeâ€? earlier this year, Lekas has still refused to send Sato a check for approximately $4,600, according to Worthington. “It was a little bit difficult for us ‌ the problem was trying to serve (Lekas) with the lawsuit, as we had someone try and serve her five times,â€? said Melissa Sato, Alyson’s sister. “We finally got her on a Sunday coming home from church.â€? Sato also saved text messages exchanged with Lekas throughout the day of Jan. 28, 2011, which show Lekas promising to mail Sato’s security deposit, which she never followed up on. “As far as the protest goes, hopefully it was able to generate publicity and let people know what is happening, especially since it’s been difficult for us to take the next legal steps,â€? Melissa Sato said. “What is frustrating for us is that we know she is getting rent, so it’s hard for us to understand why she won’t pay what

Notes from the Field Berkeley Art Museum unveils new building

By Damian Ortellado | Staff dortellado@dailycal.org With funding for its graduate academic students falling behind the UC’s competitor institutions, the UC Board of Regents discussed at their meeting Thursday how to increase funds for graduate students — a crucial part of the university’s academic excellence, according to faculty and administrators. Board members discussed eliminating nonresident graduate student tuition and increasing all graduate students’ stipends in order to increase the UC’s competitiveness relative to its peers, which is critical given UC surveys that indicate the university could be starting to lose its luster as a premier graduate student destination. Graduate academic students’ enrollment choices reflect the downward trend in UC graduate academic funding relative to non-UC institutions. Forty-eight percent of respondents indicated that they would attend UCs in 2010, down 4 percent from 2007, according to surveys conducted by the UC Office of the President. The board did not take action on any potential changes to graduate student tuition or funding. Several board members raised

the possibility of eliminating nonresident tuition for graduate students because it is often a barrier to the UC accepting more international students into graduate programs. Nonresident tuition is $15,102 higher than resident tuition, money which often comes out of research grants. “There are departments, there are programs that have stopped admitting international students,� said Robert Powell, vice chair of the systemwide Academic Senate at the meeting. “There are compromises that are being made as a result of the difference between nonresident and resident students.� International students comprise 20 percent of graduate students in the UC system, according to UC Provost Lawrence Pitts. In addition to discussing methods for attracting qualified students, the board also addressed the growing concern that lagging graduate student stipends reduce the university’s competitiveness in attracting the best and brightest graduate students. In 2010, the per capita average UC net stipend — which provides for a graduate academic student’s living costs — was $2,697 below the per capita average non-UC net stipend, according to the survey. In 2007, the per capita average UC net stipend was only $1,050 below the per capita

News in Brief

Man robbed at knifepoint near People’s Park Tuesday A man was robbed of $10 via knife near the People’s Park bathrooms Tuesday night. At about 9:55 p.m., a man was walking toward the men’s restroom in People’s Park when a suspect approached him out of the shadows, brandished a knife and demanded his money, according to UCPD spokesperson Lt. Marc DeCoulode. After the two exchanged some words, the suspect threatened the victim with a knife, and the victim gave him money from his pocket, according to DeCoulode. The suspect then walked away, and UCPD arrived on scene within minutes after

the incident occurred. The suspect is a 6’ 4�, mediumbuilt male and was last seen going into People’s Park wearing a black hoodie with white stripes on the arms, according to UCPD crime logs. The victim, a 32-year old male from Pleasantville, was not injured. The case is currently under investigation, and there have been no arrests made yet. DeCoulode said there have not been enough robberies in People’s Park lately to justify a trend but that safety in the park is a concern. “We want to make sure our students are careful and aware when they are out at night,� he said. “They should remember to always walk in groups, especially at night.� — Betsy Vincent

off the beat

I’m Greek — you’re weak Panel of experts

I

’m Greek. Like really Greek. Although I’m in a sorority, that’s not really what I’m talking about. You know, the “loud breeding Greek eaters” who think that every word in the English language stems from Greek, that everything in existence was invented by the Greeks and that not eating meat is a sin. Even though I don’t fit every stereotype that comes out of My Big Fat Greek Wedding — my family doesn’t own a restaurant, I have absolutely zero first cousins and I haven’t had my family ship me off to Greece to get married (yet) — I still see many similarities between my life thus far and that movie. For one, I have met maybe a handful of people who can actually pronounce my full name (Stavroula Alexandra Bidwell) correctly. Yes, I know my name is 25 letters long, with almost every letter of the alphabet, but all you have to do is sound it out. I remember being so jealous of my brother, Nick, who has such a simple name, although it is extremely common and stereotypically Greek. But much to my dismay, I experienced some of the same teasing that Toula experienced in MBFGW: I recall having little girls in kindergarten asking me why my mom couldn’t have named me something “normal.” Thank God I at least had Wonderbread sandwiches to take to school. And at school I also had the freedom to stop eating when I was full, not when I wanted to vomit. I have only met one person in my life who can out-eat my yiayia’s (grandmother’s) will to force-feed. My brother’s best friend — after clearing about four plates of food and a few pieces of pie — asked my yiayia if he could have another piece, and she said he could get it himself. That may not astonish most people, but growing up in my house — which I forgot to mention is conveniently located 50 yards from my grandparents’ house — you knew that no one would leave without at least three plates of food to take home and their pants unbuttoned. nce, my mom’s cousin Frederic asked to have corn at Thanksgiving, so my yiayia made corn especially for him and all but forced it down his throat, one gigantic lump after another being plopped on his plate. I know these things come from a place of caring and grandmotherly goodness, but I can’t help sometimes thinking that my adolescence seemed slightly like a sitcom. Dating, for example, is a dangerous topic. I have not had a boyfriend who has gained the approval of my grandparents. Perhaps that’s because I have only dated non-Greeks. My first boyfriend in my junior year of high school hugged me at a football game — a seemingly harmless gesture — and was met with a

Allie Bidwell abidwell@dailycal.org punch in the arm from my grandpa. That relationship lasted about a month. The next one shot his chances of acceptance to hell when we were spotted kissing outside my house. And my most recent boyfriend was not worthy because he was four years older than me. Oh, and the fact that at 20 years old, I was “too young” to be in a relationship. But the fact that there is a family friend in Greece five years older than me who my yiayia likes to “joke” about, saying that we should get married, is a completely different story, of course. lthough some things are exaggerated in the movie, you can still see that people from certain cultures trust “their own kind” more. It’s all about knowing the family, where they come from, who they know and how they were raised. And sharing a common heritage and language doesn’t hurt either. But I never fully grasped the language, though a large portion of my elementary school days were spent after school at the church’s Greek school. This was made crystal clear when I went to Greece for the first time at age 18 and only knew how to say efharisto (thank you), s’agapo (I love you), nai (yes) and oxi (no). But during my last semester at Cal, I’m finally taking an introductory modern Greek class. And it feels like home. Even hearing Greek reminds me of my family and all the things that I once thought — and at times still think — were embarrassing. Now I know why my mom wanted me to go to church every Sunday, why she wanted me to go to Greek school, why she wanted me to join the Greek folk dance group and make friends and why she pushed me to finally go to Greece. Overall, I consider myself lucky. Lucky to have such a close-knit family. Lucky to have a family and a home at church, aside from my biological family. Lucky to have lifelong friends who were raised the same way and who have the same values I do. I feel lucky to be unique, to have a culture, to have a story, a history and to have love in my life. Now I know why everyone who isn’t Greek wishes they were.

Will undocumented students studying at universities and colleges in California ever receive the same rights and financial aid as their legal counterparts? This was the question discussed by a panel Wednesday evening at UC Berkeley’s Free Speech Movement Cafe by three experts who approached the issue — the California DREAM Act, whose second part would grant undocumented students access to public financial aid — from historical, political and cultural angles. Lisa García Bedolla, associate professor of political studies and Chicano/ Latino studies and chair of the campus Center for Latino Policy Research, Aarti Kohli, director of immigration policy at the UC Berkeley School of Law’s Warren Institute on Law and Social Policy and Kevin Escudero, a doctoral student in the Department of Ethnic Studies, presented varying views from their respective fields to provide historical and cultural perspective on the causes and potential effects of the act. “We created this problem,” Bedolla said. “Immigrants are part of our community, part of our society. They are here because of economic and political structures that are beyond their control and the United States was complicit in.” The act has two parts, AB 130 and AB 131. AB 130, which was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown in July, allowed universities to give private financial aid to undocumented students. AB 131 awaits Brown’s signature and would grant undocumented students access to public financial aid. He has until Oct. 9 to sign the bill into law. Kohli traced the legislative history of the act to the landmark United States Supreme Court decision Plyler v. Doe, which

fees: Some board members plan to engage in forms of public outreach From front strategy, but this needs to be rejected,” Newsom said. “Because it scares the living bejesus out of folks.” Some board members also planned to engage in various forms of public outreach and mobilization, in the hope that the public would encourage action to increase state funding to the university. The suggestion created a wave of excitement among many of the board members, who said it would be more effective than lobbying the state legislature. “I love the idea of a public campaign,” Lansing said. “We can raise enough money among us to have (public service announcements) that get our message out to the public that let the public know

what is happening to our alumni, to the institute, to the love that it gave you, the life that you have.” Despite the excitement, UC President Mark Yudof tempered discussions surrounding solutions that would avoid budget cuts by addressing the long pattern of tuition increases over the past 20 years. “I’m willing to be optimistic,” Yudof said. “But we need some realism in all of us.” Although some board members discussed the possibility of taking action on the budget plan in November, it is not likely the board will vote on it until next year, according to UC Vice President for Budget Patrick Lenz.

roofs: Some say the shift in strategy by the campus may not be prudent From front twice the amount of previous years, to cut into its more than half a billion dollar backlog. Harvey Kaiser, a facilities management consultant from Syracuse, N.Y., who has been researching and writing about deferred maintenance for more than 30 years, said the campus’ shift in strategies might not be prudent. He said by focusing only on roofs, the campus would be forgoing other high priority projects. “I would have to question a strategy that is sort of motivated by bringing the public’s attention and emphasizing one category of work,” Kaiser said. But Christofferson said that out of the $10 million, the campus set aside $2 million to deal with any non-roof problems that cannot further be deferred, such as replacing a chiller in Davis Hall

and an elevator in Koshland Hall. There are also roofs that need repair that will have to wait until next year because there is not enough money, such as Gilman Hall’s roof. And the strategy still is not set in stone, Christofferson said. He said it is unclear whether the categorybased approach will continue for next year’s deferred maintenance program. “That’s what we’re going to propose at least short term,” he said. “But one of the things that we need feedback from is, is that an approach that the administration wants to continue.” For Wayne and others who use the fine arts library, however, the repair is a relief. “We’re all very happy,” she said.

— UC Regent Richard Blum during Thursday’s UC Board of Regents meeting

Op-ed | Responding to Administrators’ Remarks

Work in sync, not at odds “Out-gunned”: campus response to protest UNIVERSITY ISSUES The trend in UC campuses snatching each others’ staff is not reflective of a cohesive university system.

I

n a time of economic hardship when the entire University of California system must already fend off the advances of private schools seeking to recruit top faculty and staff members, there is no sense in UC campuses competing with one another for talented employees. But that is exactly what is happening. This trend was pronounced most recently in reports sent to the UC Board of Regents at the end of August, which revealed that UC Berkeley’s Associate Vice Chancellor for University Relations David Blinder has been “aggressively recruited” by UC Irvine, which offered him a base pay of $300,000. Our campus answered with a $40,000 raise to keep him on board. Walter Robinson, who served as UC Berkeley’s undergraduate admissions director, departed from the campus Sept. 5 for a similar position in admissions at UC Davis with higher compensation. This recruitment ­— essentially poaching — is counter-intuitive for the UC system. When one campus tries to nab an employee from another, it levies an extra cost on the system as a whole. Whether working to draw in

someone new or to maintain someone old, one campus will have to dispense additional funds. The Blinder example is especially detrimental because he works to generate millions of dollars in fundraising to the campus. His position requires the development of close relations with donors — relationships which take time to grow. To replace him would entail not only financial costs, but also transaction costs involved in searching for someone new, training his successor and establishing personal ties. While the university system as a whole is striving to pull together through tough economic times, this kind of internal recruitment is incongruous with the system’s espousal of unity. To have one campus benefit at the expense of another does not reflect a harmonious system. We understand that a professor or administrator may seek to transfer to another campus for personal reasons, and this is completely acceptable. But we do not condone one campus “aggressively” targeting another’s employees. We are a university system — separate parts working together, not against each other.

By Gregory Levine Special to the Daily Cal opinion@dailycal.org The 2011 UC Berkeley Deans and Chairs Retreat, held on Aug. 18, featured a presentation by the administration on the topic of campus activism — what the past few years have taught and what the recent tuition hike and other policy and administrative changes might augur for this academic year. This is a topic of considerable importance given recent decisions made by the state legislature, the UC Regents and on our campus that are strongly affecting the lives of students, workers, staff and faculty. This year, some may choose individually and collectively to protest these decisions and to do so on the Berkeley campus in various ways. I was not at the Deans and Chairs retreat, but in conversation with Barrie Thorne and Peter Glazer, who were present, I learned that a member of Chancellor Birgeneau’s cabinet, recalling the occupation of Wheeler Hall on Nov. 20, 2009 and other student actions, said that the administration had been “out-gunned” by students in terms of wireless technology and social media. This speaker’s choice of phrase is, at best, a regrettable metaphor. Let us remember who was “outgunned” in 2009, for it raises questions regarding how the administration and UCPD might respond to future protest events on campus. This is not to dwell upon the events of Nov. 20, but to take respon-

emorial Stadium has been called many names — for example, a stadium with one of the most scenic views in college football and an icon of UC Berkeley — but it will never be regarded as quiet. Especially now with the stadium’s ongoing renovation, the noise and activity emitted from the construction zone has fueled contention among neighbors. The campus’s plans and prior poor decisions only feed the flame. The most recent changes to the plans, approved Tuesday, include two previously rescinded items and creating Friday night games. Neighborhood groups are already up in arms. We acknowledge that the campus made imprudent decisions previously which resulted in a lawsuit with neighborhood groups. We also sympathize with the stadium’s neighbors who are subjected to the clamor and dust of the construction. But because the campus followed the proper procedures for the most recent approved changes, grumbling neighbors should simmer down their complaints. After a court ruled that the campus improperly used an addendum to add an Athletic Service

Center and simulated crowd noise during football practice to construction plans, a UC committee rejected the additions. The campus then sought a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report to cover the changes. These elements were approved Tuesday, along with the implementation of at most three Friday night games over the course of four seasons. The university has also had two public hearings regarding the construction. When the UC rescinded the two controversial items, we applauded the decision because the campus had executed inferior oversight and planning. But with the new changes, the campus adhered to procedure, and these efforts should be recognized. The complaint that Friday night games will disrupt those commuting back to Berkeley is feeble. Memorial Stadium has stood its ground for nearly 90 years — those who move to a college town, let alone close to a stadium, should realize that they are not immune from disturbances. By all means, neighbors should air their grievances going into a major construction project. But after officials took the right course of action, to continue to bemoan the detriments of living near the stadium is unfair.

sible measure of them and to act upon what we’ve learned. On Nov. 20, the administration’s decision to militarize the protest space and campus — escalated through its mutual aid call to the Alameda County Sheriff ’s Office — threatened overwhelmingly nonviolent protesters, concerned onlookers and passersby with an aggressive display of firearms by law enforcement, including FN 303s, which closely resemble machine guns, 37 mm launchers used for deploying tear gas and smoke and side arms. Students and others outside Wheeler came with anger, confusion, curiosity, dismay and fear, and the sight of such weaponry escalated tension and worry. Let’s be clear: This was not merely display. One student, allegedly pushing against a barricade, was shot in the stomach with a rubber projectile. Others, some defenseless, were severely injured by the use of police batons. The violence by law enforcement on Nov. 20 was well documented and widely condemned (see, for instance, the Nov. 22, 2009 “Open Letter from Concerned Members of the Faculty to Chancellor Robert J. Birgeneau”). It was also addressed in detail by the report issued on June 14, 2010 by the Police Review Board, then chaired by Law School Professor Wayne Brazil. The PRB report, which the Chancellor correctly requested, is sobering. It documents startling and multiple failures of communication by the administration and UCPD in the face of the Wheeler occupation as it began in the early morning, and throughout the negotiations, standoff and protest that continued until evening. The report’s authors are unambiguous in their concerns regarding the administration and UCPD’s inadequate procedures for responding to acts of civil disobedience. The June 14 report is also hopeful. It offers specific, common sense and sometimes far-reaching recommendations to the administration regarding how it should change its protocols of response to protest. Now, more than one year since the report was issued, when public higher education is facing even greater threats, the campus community is unable to judge whether or not, or how, the administration has responded to or implemented the PRB’s recommendations. The PRB acknowledges that by the time its report was issued some recommendations had already been implemented. But the administration is long overdue in providing the campus thorough explanation of the changes it has made to its procedures for

communicating with the multiple constituencies of the campus community during protest events, its oversight over law enforcement and mutual aid and its position regarding the protection of free speech and assembly on campus. The campus community has a right and a need to know what measures its leadership and law enforcement will now take in the face of possible protest, civil disobedience and even building occupation. The campus community likewise has a responsibility to understand these measures as well as the consequences of legal civil disobedience and what actions are not protected under the law. Recognition of these rights and responsibilities is imperative if we are, in such uncertain times, to take the long view of future possibilities for Berkeley and public higher education, as Professor Catherine Cole urged in her Aug 26, 2011 op-ed in The Daily Californian. As I see it, there is no justification for violent protest on the Berkeley campus or for violent crackdown on peaceful protest. Militarization of the campus as a response to civil disobedience cannot be tolerated. Moreover, the use of metaphors such as out-gunning, battlegrounds and the like is conspicuously inappropriate for a university community. According to several people who attended the recent Deans and Chairs Retreat, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost George Breslauer indicated that an announcement regarding the PRB report would be forthcoming from the administration in two months time. This is a good sign, but it comes more than a year after the report was delivered. This seems unreasonably delayed, and I cannot help but think of the zeal and rapidity with which the administration has made other major restructuring changes to the Berkeley campus, most notably in the case of Operational Excellence. I may not be alone in hoping that the administration sees the correction of dysfunctional and potentially dangerous procedures related to its response to campus protest as having as much importance as achieving managerial efficiency and cost-saving. Arguably, the implementation of the PRB’s recommendations should have priority, for reasons that pertain to the safety of the campus community and to this campus’s historic responsibility to observe and foster the rights of free speech and assembly. Gregory Levine is an associate professor in the Department of History of Art at UC Berkeley.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Sustainable butcher shop article omits important factors The article on sustainable meat leaves out critical information. While “sustainably raised� meat is better than factory farmed meat, it is hardly a “win-win-win.� Beef is the worst product for the environment, sustainably raised or not, because cows produce so much methane. The article also declines to mention where the animals are slaughtered. Industrial slaughtering causes terrible suffering for both animals and workers. People must be able to consider all of the implications of meat production before deciding how much (if any) to consume. — Katie Cantrell, UC Berkeley alumna

The realities of “sustainable meat� and environmental responsibility Regarding Mary Susman’s article about the opening of a new butchery in Berkeley outlining the supposed benefits of buying and eating meat from local “sustainable ranches� to promote environmental responsibil-

ity and stewardship, I am compelled to respond to these claims with facts about the real impacts of meat production and consumption on the environmental and moral fabric of our planet. The article quotes one of the store owners, who states that “It’s really irresponsible to eat meat that’s raised in a way that’s not responsible for the environment� and while I can appreciate their sentiments to be ecologically conscious, the fact remains that raising animals for meat production is responsible for more greenhouse gases, freshwater pollution, topsoil depletion, deforestation and habitat loss than all other human activities. Indeed, according to a 2006 United Nation’s report, “Livestock’s Long Shadow� raising animals for food contributes nearly 18% of all human induced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to this ecological devastation, even when raised under so called “humane� conditions these animals are subjected to unconscionable pain and suffering, despite the labels which suggest otherwise. Eliminating animal-products from your diet would be an integral and powerful step towards fostering ethical, sustainable and responsible relationships with animals, both human and non-human alike, and our beautiful planet. — Mansheel Singh, Berkeley resident

graduates: Board also considered increasing overall tuition From Page 2 average non-UC net stipend for graduate academic students. If this gap negatively affects the UC’s ability to attract the best graduate students, the consequences would be severe for the university, according to systemwide Academic Senate Chair Robert Anderson. “We simply could not produce the quality or quantity of research we do without the presence of graduate stu-

dents,� he said. The board also discussed increasing overall tuition to increase revenue. According to UC Vice President of Research and Graduate Studies Steven Beckwith, as tuition for academic graduate students is usually paid through research grants allotted to university graduate departments, increasing graduate academic tuition could effectively increase revenue to

the university, which could in turn go back to graduate student programs. “I think we could gain revenue by setting a rate that’s somewhere in between (resident and nonresident tuition),� he said at the meeting. “I’m confident that with (an overall) rate even higher than our resident rate, we would still be competitive.� Damian Ortellado covers higher education.

protest: Another demonstration to be held in a few months From Page 2 is due.� Lekas could not be reached for comment as of press time. “We had some good conversations with landlords,� SotoVigil said in an email. “Her actions have brought great refute to their profession — we are following up with some of them to see if they want to be public about supporting our efforts.� Soto-Vigil also said Worthington’s office will continue to suggest ways to protect tenants from security deposit fraud and landlords like Lekas. Another demonstration will be held sometime in the next few months at 1717 Euclid Ave., one of the Lekas & Associates properties. Anjuli Sastry covers housing.

City Councilmember Kriss Worthington (center) speaks at a demonstration Wednesday. Students protested against the withholding of security deposits by local landlords.

panel: Experts offer historical, cultural perspectives on the act From Page 3 allowed undocumented children to attend public schools until 12th grade. This set the stage for later state legislation regarding higher education, such as AB 540 — passed 2001, it allows undocumented students who meet certain conditions to pay in-state tuition at a state public higher education institution — and the current DREAM Act, she said. “(The act) will provide financial support for these students and relieve

psychological stress that results when they have to find ways to pay their tuition,� said third year Humberto Ortiz. Although the act has benefits for a very specific group of undocumented immigrants — the students — Kohli said that it could cast a more negative light on other segments of the undocumented population, including those students’ parents. “By saying (the students) are worthy, it makes other immigrants unworthy,�

she said. Regardless of the division it could potentially cause in the undocumented community, Kohli said that AB 130’s passage marks a new chapter in the legislative and historical story of illegal immigrants in the United States. “What California did this year is pretty amazing,� she said. “It’s the leader in the country. The legislature passed AB 130 which Gov. Brown has signed – this is a major step.�

It’s not often that you can allow 474 passing yards and still win, and it’s probably even rarer that you can do it allowing 284 receiving yards to a single wideout. Both these things happened at Colorado. That Tedford’s team gutted out its first-ever overtime road win is admirable, but it still doesn’t cover all the holes that better Pac-12 teams will stretch painfully wide. So if this game is all about what Cal can do, what exactly is it that Cal needs to do?

Tune up, and play just about everyone it has. On defense, true freshmen such as Mustafa Jalil and Viliami Moala should get plenty of burn on the line; the two have already been used off the bench, and they could use the experience heading into Pac-12 play. The game presents a great opportunity to use someone like C.J. Anderson, who picked up 33 yards and a touchdown in Boulder. The junior transfer from Laney College is built like a bowling ball and is a potential complement to Isi Sofele, who has toted all but seven of the Cal

running backs’ 51 rush attempts. As big as Sofele’s heart is, he’ll need someone to spell his 5-foot-7 frame in a long season. Tedford has said to expect more of Anderson this week, along with true freshman Brendan Bigelow. You can even include Zach Maynard in this group. Maynard is already one of the better quarterbacks Cal has seen in a while — the last Bear that was clearly ahead would be a healthy Nate Longshore, circa 2006 — and has somehow cobbled together the school’s fifth-best pass efficiency rating all-time. He has also been, however, either

Minimal pressure will come from Blue Hose

Jack Wang jwang@dailycal.org

Tedford said that was not at all a focus when evaluating Presbyterian. “It’s about us preparing and getting better,” Tedford said. “We’re going to talk about our team playing to our potential.” The big news was that Brendan Bigelow, a touted freshman tailback out of Fresno, will be guaranteed snaps this weekend now that he is near 100 percent recovered from his second ACL tear. Tedford also noted that running back C.J. Anderson would see more of the field after his strong performance at Colorado. “Physically, it looks like (Bigelow) has made the turn in terms of running full speed and cut,” Tedford said. “He’s comfortable.” With Bigelow suddenly in the mix, Cal now has four running backs

ou’ve never heard of Presbyterian College before, because — let’s be honest — very, very few people have. So let’s get some basic facts out of the way first. Location: Clinton, a town of 8,915 in northwestern South Carolina. Student population, 1,200. Nickname: Blue Hose, as in blue socks or stockings. Mascot: Scotty the Scotsman, whose new, full-bodied suit was unveiled in January. And that’s all you need to know about the Cal football team’s third opponent, which on Saturday will be the first to visit the Bears’ new digs at AT&T Park in San Francisco. What about the Blue Hose’s personnel or schemes, you might ask? Well, they aren’t exactly recruiting guys who Cal would ever take a look at, so there’s not too much to worry about there if you’re betting on a Bears victory. They’re finishing up a five-year transition into the Big South, a conference you’ve probably also never heard of. You don’t need to know any more because the Bears themselves don’t seem concerned with knowing any more. All week long, Cal head coach Jeff Tedford has stressed the usual coach-speak line of the game being only about what Cal can do.

Cal aiming for walk in the park at AT&T By Gabriel Baumgaertner Senior Staff gbaumgaertner@dailycal.org Leading off Wednesday afternoon’s press conference, one reporter asked how many snaps Cal head coach Jeff Tedford wants backup quarterback Allen Bridgford to get on Saturday against Presbyterian. This wasn’t the first type of question he had received about backups receiving extended playing time. “At any opportunity that we have depending on the flow of the game, we will want to play our guys,” Tedford said, smiling. “Is that good enough?” With a win that would make him Cal’s all-time winningest coach, Tedford enters Saturday’s game against the Blue Hose with his usual game plan in mind, but even he

NorCal Invite gives Cal first look at conference By Annie Gerlach Staff agerlach@dailycal.org This weekend at the NorCal Invitational in Stockton, Calif., the No. 2 Cal men’s water polo team will get its first look at the rest of the MPSF. There will be plenty more throughout the year. While the Bears (2-0) have something scheduled for every weekend from now until the NCAA Championships, fellow MPSF teams make up the majority of their opponents, even in nonconference play. Both this weekend and at next month’s SoCal Invite, the MPSF is heavily, if not fully, represented. Cal sees this as neither an advantage or a disadvantage, simply a product of the season. “Every team is in the same boat,” coach Kirk Everist said. “It’s just a matter of taking advantage of the opportunity we’re given. You can’t get

The Blue Hose are unlikely to present a challenge. A school in its final year of transition from Division II to the Football Championship Subdivision, Presbyterian has played Wofford and North Greenville to start the season, and after Cal it will take on the likes of Stony Brook, GardnerWebb and Charleston Southern. “We tried to find other games but we play a very tough schedule,” Tedford said. “If you look around the country there is a team like this on almost every top Division I schedule for the most part. We tried to get other games and we couldn’t. I am not apologizing for our schedule because we play a very tough schedule.” The Pac-12 has already had a slipup with an FCS team — Sacramento State defeated Oregon State, 29-28 on opening weekend in Corvallis — but

complacent because teams get to know you well.” However, playing the first of many faceoffs this weekend has an inherent benefit: after scrimmaging amongst themselves and other teams during the summer offseason and whipping lower-rung competition in its season opener, the Bears finally get the opportunity to play against high-level opponents. When it comes to NCAA rankings, the MPSF is topheavy; all nine teams occupy the top nine spots, and all nine will be at the invitational. In fact, with schools such as No. 11 UC Davis and No. 13 Concordia competing as well, 14 of the 16 teams competing at the NorCal Invitational hold NCAA rankings. “The level of play is going to go up from where we were,” Everist said. “The intensity, the focus is going to up because it’s a season game. We have to match it.” The invite isn’t set up like a traditional single-
