Student Regents visit UC Davis, discuss impact of Prop. 30 UC students face possibility of $2,400 tuition increase should the proposition fail

By NATASHA QABAZARD Aggie News Writer

Brian Nguyen/ Aggie

Student Regent Jonathan Stein and Student Regent-designate Cinthia Flores (left to right) talk to students in the CoHo about Prop. 30’s importance and its effects on the University of California.

Student Regent Jonathan Stein and Student Regent-designate Cinthia Flores stopped by the UC Davis campus on Friday to speak about Proposition 30, a sales and income tax increase initiative on the Nov. 6 ballot.

Prop. 30 would increase taxes on individuals with earnings over $250,000 for seven years and would implement a quarter-cent increase in sales tax for four years. Should the proposition pass, UC will receive money from the state legislature that would negate a fee increase for this year. If Prop. 30 fails, the university will not receive that money and students will see a $250 million cut.

The failure of Prop. 30 will have an immediate impact on UC students, according to Jonathan Stein, Student Regent and UC Berkeley law and public policy student.

“The administration has said that if they need to find $375 million, they will need a 20 percent fee increase by January; that is roughly an additional $2,400 for every UC student by the end of January 2013,” Stein said.

Many No on 30 proponents say that the proposition is ruse by California legislators to receive more tax dollars.

“If Prop. 30 passes, we could have the worst business climate in the nation...Education should be a critical priority for California’s legislators, but Prop. 30 does nothing to advance that laudable goal, or hold our legislators accountable for responsible allocation of limited resources,” an Oct. 28 article by the San Francisco Examiner states.

UC Davis was the final stop for Stein and Flores on their annual tour of the UC campuses.

As Student Regents, Stein and Flores work to relay information gathered at meetings with the Board of Regents to students so that they know exactly what is going on with their education system. They also want to spread information about increasing state disinvestment in the UC and present students’ qualms to the Board of Regents.

Through the speaking tour, they aimed to provide a forum where students are given the opportunity to ask questions and share their perspectives about the impacts of this proposition.

Stein said that if Prop. 30 fails, it will send a signal to state lawmakers that the California public is not concerned with higher education

U.S. Green Building Council proposes LEED v4 UC Davis continues to construct LEED-certified buildings

By CLAIRE TAN Aggie City Editor

In early November 2010, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) opened the first public comment period for its fourth version of its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating program.

Currently known as LEED v4, the proposed rating system was initially named LEED 2012.

On June 4, President, CEO and Founding Chairperson of the USGBC Rick Fedrizzi said in a blog post that the council decided to push the ballot on LEED 2012 until June 1, 2013 due to the community stating they would like more time to consider and prepare for the proposed updates.

Since then, the USGBC has held four public comment periods, with a fifth one in process from Oct. 2 to Dec. 10.

According to the USGBC, the LEED rating program focuses on fostering the construction and management of green buildings.

LEED-certified buildings use less energy, save money and reduce carbon footprints.

“More than 49,000 projects are currently participating in the commercial and insti-

tutional LEED rating systems, comprising 9.1 billion square feet of construction space in all 50 states and 130 countries,” the USGBC website stated.

The current version of the LEED rating system, LEED v3, was released on April 27, 2009.

LEED v3 builds upon its predecessor and consists of three components: improvements to the LEED’s credits and points system, updates to LEED Online and a new building certification model. LEED Online manages the LEED documentation process and allows project teams to review documents and project details.

LEED v3 is on a 100-point basis for new construction and major renovations. Sustainable sites can receive 26 possible points; water efficiency, 10 possible points; energy and atmosphere, 35 possible points; materials and resources, 14 possible points; indoor environmental quality, 15 possible points; innovation in design, 6 possible points; and regional priority, 4 possible points.

LEED-certified buildings are given 40 to 49 points, LEED Silver buildings are given 50 to 59 points, LEED Gold buildings are given 60 to 79 points and LEED Platinum buildings are

USGBC said the anticipated changes of LEED v4 include new market sectors, increased technical vigor and streamlined

services.

Provost plants trees with students As part of the Fall Weekend of Service, Ralph J. Hexter, provost and executive vice chancellor, planted trees with students at Tree Davis on Saturday at 9 a.m.

The Fall Weekend of Service encourages students and faculty to volunteer for various large causes in the Davis, Woodland and Sacramento areas.

A weekend of service is held every quarter

by The Community Service Resource Center (CSRC) on campus, a branch of the Internship and Career Center (ICC). "[It’s] encouraging that someone so busy came out to help the community," said Vina Nguyen, a first-year biological sciences major.

Past volunteer locations have included Albert Einstein Residence Center, Davis Farm To School, Putah Creek Council and the Sacramento Public Library. “[You should] not just to live for yourself but live for others and impact on the future," said Kathleen Furtado, a first-year animal science major. Furtado also said she thought that Hexter was “down to earth,” and she spoke with him about the proper way to plant trees.

Tree Davis, located at Fourth and J streets, aims to expand Davis’ urban forest and inspire student and community members to plant and care for trees. According to the Tree Davis

website, over 8,000 trees have been planted since 1992.

The CSRC website provides a community service database with over 500 opportunities with nonprofit agencies and enables students to search for various community service opportunities in close proximity to them.

Students are also invited to speak with advisors about locating volunteer opportunities.

Advisors can be visited at South Hall Room 225 and more information on future weekends of service can be found on the ICC website at iccweb.ucdavis.edu/cs.

Sexual assault at Russell Park On Wednesday at 4:10 p.m., a victim was walking through Russell Park from work when a male subject on a bike rode up from behind. The victim moved out of the way to allow the biker to pass.

Feeling suspicion, the victim began to walk back to work. The male subject followed her and grabbed the victim’s butt. The victim escaped and continued to walk back to work, the suspect still following her. Once at the

front door of the victim’s workplace, the suspect turned his bike around and rode north through Russell Park.

According to the UC Davis Police, the suspect is described as a 5’11”, 140-pound black male adult in his early 20s. He has brown eyes and short black hair and is very thin. The suspect was last seen wearing a blue T-shirt, blue jeans, a blue baseball cap and a red lanyard.

Senate Bill 15, authored by Renner Burkle general manager of KDVS, would allocate $36,000 from capital reserves to fund a radio tower for the campus radio station.

The tower would enable the station to broadcast to a larger audience in Sacramento. The table discussed issuing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

The bill passed unanimously.

Public discussion Members of the public were concerned about the passage of Senate Bill 15, claiming that the KDVS radio station does not have mainstream music selections and the money that will be used to fund the radio tower could be better allocated.

leed Cont. from front page in an email that v4 is better for multiple reasons.

“It’s simple, streamlined and usable: [an] improved documentation process, more resources and tools in development,” Katz said. “[It] continues to drive energy and water efficiency while still providing a starting point for newcomers to the green building world. [There will] be more solutions for more markets, [such as] data centers, warehouses, existing schools, existing retail, hospitality and mid-rise residential.”

Katz said that most changes to the current draft of LEED v4 are minor and are based on the feedback given in the public comment periods.

“Unprecedented engagement from the green building industry resulted in a superior product,” she said.

All University of California (UC) schools will have to adhere to the new LEED rating system once it’s been formalized. The UC system began to commit to constructing green buildings in 2002. According to a UC press release, the UC system is the first American university to hit 100 LEED-certified buildings.

UC Office of the President Sustainability Manager Matt St. Clair said because there are significant changes that are planned for v4, the USGBC delayed its implementation until next year.

Clair said. “No projects will have to register with the v4, according to the USGBC, until 2015. The new one only applies to new buildings that register.”

UC Davis currently has four newly constructed buildings that are LEED Platinum: Gallagher Hall and its corresponding Conference Center; Gladys Valley Hall; Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences; and the August A. Busch III Brewing and Food Science Laboratory and the Teaching and Research Winery.

LEED Gold buildings consist of the renovated Coffee House, Cuarto Dining Commons and Robbins Hall. New constructions include the Student Health and Wellness Center, and Tercero Student Housing: Wall, Campbell and Potter Halls.

The Segundo Services Center and the Student Community Center are awaiting LEED certification. There are also seven other buildings that are either under construction or are in the process of being renovated or constructed.

In response to LEED v4, the UC Davis Design and Construction Management (DCM) team said they will evaluate the proposed changes to the rating system when the time comes.

“Just as we do with code changes, I’m sure our office will be reviewing the changes and considering how these work with our campus standards and goals,” said Julianne Nola, assistant director of project management of UC Davis DCM, in an email.

Similarly, Gary Dahl, director of project management of UC Davis DCM, said they have yet to consider the impacts of

In true Aggie fashion, the game was no giveaway. UC Davis held a lead for about half of each game before the 49ers’ balanced offensive came alive and carried them to the win.

the changes to their program since the newest LEED program will not be adopted until 2013 at the earliest.

“It is likely that a greater impact to our projects will be from significantly more stringent California energy efficiency requirements also slated to be adopted next year,” Dahl said in an email.

“Regents and campus policy require that we exceed the most current version of the California standards (“Title 24”) by 25 percent or more.”

Senior Project Manager of UC Davis DCM Susan Rainier said quantifying the costs of each green building on campus is difficult. She said achieving a platinum rating is costly since it requires the use of renewable resources, but planning ahead has cut some of those costs.

“If the team is thinking about the most sustainable building they can from the very beginning, those costs are woven in,” Rainier said. “Green buildings live longer and their facilities are affordable.”

Additionally, Rainier said the availability of water is at a critical point.

“Some scientists in Europe are saying the world will be out of water in 2050,” she said. “So we’re focused on that now.”

Rainier also said the campus has many old buildings that need repurposing.

“In the green world, the oldest buildings are the greenest. New buildings can be [built to be] sustainable,” Rainier said. “The future is really bright for sustainability.”

tory in the third. However, the 49ers pieced together an early offensive surge in the fourth game and never looked back.

UC Davis will move on to play Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara next week. Much like this past weekend, they will play a team they have done well against in the past in the

Mustangs, then turn around to face a team that has had their number all season.

The team will look to harness the power of momentum and slip back into the second-place slot in their conference.

More men’s soccer

By MATTHEW YUEN Aggie Sports Editor

Well, the comparisons between UC Davis men’s soccer and the San Francisco Giants persist.

UC Davis closed out the regular season with a strong performance against Sacramento State this past weekend, sweeping the season series with the Hornets with a second victory over the Causeway rivals.

While this is extremely exciting, it is by no means unexpected. UC Davis has been showing signs of brilliance since early last year.

The Aggies have pulled in three huge recruiting classes to stack up their roster.

Out of their roster of almost 30 players, UC Davis has graduated less than five players in each of the past two years. The Aggies are stacked to do great things in the years to come.

Although nobody really wants to hear me talk, I can talk for a very long time about why our men’s soccer team’s future is bright.

Or perhaps that’s because I have no one to talk to.

Either way, here goes.

UC Davis is 7-2 in the past nine games after a disappointing 2-4-4 start including a three-game losing streak right before the Aggies got hot. This is no accident.

First let’s start with the defense. The defense is like the different levels of protection for the Sorcerer’s Stone. Even if you get past one of the tasks, how much of a chance do you really have next time? Though hopefully, the Aggies, unlike some of the best wizards at Hogwarts, are capable of keeping three 10-year-olds from getting through.

In the goal, there’s junior Omar Zeenni. Since he was a freshman, Zeenni has spent substantial time eating up minutes in the goal.

He has gotten used to the defense around him and is incredibly bright, both of which factor into his ability to command the back line into the impenetrable barricade that it is.

The backline consists of, for a majority of the game, a combination of sophomores Brian Ford and Ramon Martin Del Campo as well as one other player. Ford and Martin Del Campo are absolute monsters. Honestly, together, they could top Sulley for the scare record.

Ford has led the defense since he arrived at UC Davis, playing the most

out of any player, including Zeenni. The reason being he has incredible judgment and perception.

Getting past Ford to even get to Zeenni should be considered a goal in itself.

Rarely will you see him out of position being beat by an offensive charge. Martin Del Campo is in for the intimidation factor. Checking in as one of the bigger players on the field, Martin Del Campo’s size and athleticism make for a tough compliment to Ford’s defensive prowess.

There isn’t quite a special mechanism that is the secret formula for the Aggies, but it seems they have many options on the forefront.

UC Davis has scored goals from 11 players this year, seven of which have multiple goals. The Aggies had trouble scoring last year, with then-freshman Matt Wiesenfarth providing most of the firepower with five goals on the year.

This year, though Wiesenfarth just scored his first two goals of the season, many of his teammates have found the back of the net, including juniors Kevin Schulte, Pat Reese and Alex Aguiar.

Any combination can work — from Wiesenfarth’s fancy footwork or Alex Henry’s southpaw boot — and UC Davis finally seems to be piecing it together.

One of the secret weapons the Aggies have is freshman Ryan Gross. It is not often that people are feared for their throwing ability in the game called “football” across the world.

But Gross’ throw-ins are essentially corner kicks, seeing that he can throw the ball from the sideline into the goal box from almost anywhere on the same half of the field. So the defense really has to be careful to think twice before it knocks the ball out of bounds.

There really is no escape.

In the end, all the strengths of the Aggies’ individual positions culminate to a unit with about the same amount of force as Brian Wilson’s beard, which has a life of its own.

There is no telling how far UC Davis can go, since they appear to be getting hot at just the right time.

Lucky for UC Davis, we will have the chance to witness the next step in UC Davis men’s soccer development, as they have earned, with the top seed in the conference, the chance to host a Big West tournament game.

Most likely, this will be against Cal State Fullerton, a team the Aggies took down on their path to this firstplace finish. Though there are no certainties, UC Davis is definitely on a path where every turn’s a surprise, with new horizons to pursue.

Aggies shut down the Hornets 2-1 in Big West Thriller

Sophomore Matt Wiesenfarth scored two goals against Sacramento State on Saturday, winning the Aggies the Big West Conference North Division title. UC Davis will host the South Division’s No. 2 seed on Wednesday.

By VEENA BANSAL Aggie Sports Writer

After 20 games, 31 goals and countless celebrations and road-trips, the UC Davis men’s soccer team find themselves in the No. 1 spot in the North Division of the Big West Championships. The Aggies officially clinched the top spot after defeating No. 2 seed Sacramento State at home in front of a season high of 1,349 fans.

“I just think it was a good battle between two good teams,” said head coach Dwayne Shaffer. “Sacramento State is a very good team and today was our day. I thought we were prepared and played well and did everything we needed to do to score the goals to win the game. I’m extremely excited for the team. We’re champions of the North and I think it is well-deserved. We’re looking forward to competing in the Big West Tournament and hosting a game on Wednesday and I hope all the Aggie supporters come on out.”

Sophomore forward Matt Wiesenfarth led the team to victory with goals in the eighth and 46th minutes of play. At the 8:06 mark, Wiesenfarth fired

Cont. from front page and that the system will continue to be defunded to the point that UC will be a private institution before the end of the decade.

“We were once a state that believed in making public investments. If Prop. 30 fails it’s a sign that the California I envision is not the California that exists,” Stein said.

Flores explained that as student representatives on the Board of Regents, they gather information on specific campuses from administrative and student leadership so that they are best informed on the problems facing specific UC campuses when they meet with other regents.

“When these propositions are presented … we speak on those props with a holistic understanding on how it will impact the system and how it will individually impact campuses,” Flores said.

Both Stein and Flores said the proposition’s failure would not decrease enrollment, but the racial and socioeconomic makeup of the university could potentially change.

“Enrollment will not decrease; however, we will get a different kind of student body, NATASHA QABAZARD can be reached at that is more wealthier stu- campus@theaggie.org.

Overall, the Aggies outshot the Hornets 9-6 in the second half.

Sophomore defender Ramon Martin Del Campo put a header on goal off a corner kick by junior forward Kevin Schulte, but a Hornet defender was in position and managed to deflect it.

Prior to the commencement of the match, seniors John Joslin, Mustafa Chopan and Ethan Shawlee were commemorated in the pregame ceremony.

“We have three very good seniors in our program and all three of them added so much to the team,” Shaffer said. “They all showed so much leadership, so much fight and determination. Those three guys have been incredible to the program and they’re seeing the fruits of their hard work over the last four or five years today with the North Division title.”

The Aggies will host a semifinal game of the Big West Conference Tournament on Wednesday at a time that is yet to be determined. UC Davis will face off with Cal State Fullerton, a team they beat this season by a score of 2-1.

dents and fewer middle-income students,” Stein said.

Additionally, the failure of this proposition would directly impact all families and their expenses.

“Personally, my sister is a high school senior and is currently applying to universities. She cannot afford anything but a state education and in a real way this proposition will impact her future and thereby the future of my family,” Flores said.

Students are also rallying behind the proposition in support.

“The short-term implications of seeing this bill fail outweighs the adverse effects of the seven-year tax life of this bill,” said Jonathan Finau, a fouth-year political science major.

Stein and Flores met with Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi after the forum and discussed maintaining the excellence of the university without having to raise tuition annually.

According to a survey by the Public Policy Institute of California, 48 percent of voters will likely support the measure, while 44 percent are opposed and 8 percent are undecided.

Prop. 30 will appear on the ballot in Tuesday’s election.

a shot of the season with a header into the top right corner.

Junior forward Alex Aguiar chipped a shot over the Hornet defense to Wiesenfarth, who managed to head the ball just over the hands of Hornet goalkeeper Bryan Oliver into the back of the net.

The Hornets responded with a goal with 36 seconds left in the first half.

Max Alvarez got a pass from Adam Rodriguez and sprinted across the field toward the goal. Alvarez proceeded to fire a shot into the bottom right corner of the goal past the range of junior goalkeeper Omar Zeenni.

Fortunately, the Aggies regrouped during the halftime period, shaking off the collapse in defense in the last few seconds of the first half. The UC Davis defense came out stronger than ever in the second half, leaving the Hornets scoreless for the duration of the game.

Just over a minute into the second half, Wiesenfarth scored the game winner. Junior forward Alex Henry slotted a pass across the goal from the left side and Wiesenfarth, unable to make a turn in the box, backheeled it behind him into the lower right corner of the goal, giving UC Davis the 2-1 lead.

Senior Allison Whitson had 19 kills against CSU Long Beach. The Aggies lost the match.

The Aggies started the weekend off with a bang, reaching a level of play that they had worked for all season in a satisfying threegame sweep of UC Irvine on Friday night.

The attack was balanced, and the serves were hard and well placed in smothering the Anteaters.

Perhaps the best part of Friday’s win was that every

player contributed to the victory. Don’t look for inflated stats or standout players here, for the Aggies are at their best when they act as one cohesive unit.

However, the smooth sailing came to an abrupt end as the waves from Long Beach State crashed hard over the Aggies’ deck.

The Aggies fell to the visiting 49ers and dropped to third in the Big West Conference with a record of 7-6 in Big West play and

13-13 overall.

With over 70 assists for the weekend, setter Jenny Woolway edged closer to UC Davis’ all-time assists record and her spot on the Aggies Wall of Fame.

UC Davis will travel to Cal Poly and Santa Barbara next week in pursuit of their first second-place finish in league since 2009, before returning to Davis for their last home stand of the season on Nov. 16.

Friday — UC Davis 3, UC Irvine 1 The Aggies completed their second three-game sweep of UC Irvine this season on the day of their annual “Dig Pink” match — a UC Davissponsored campaign to bring breast cancer awareness, research and hope to the world stage.

The event seemed to spark a fire of inspiration in the players as they displayed perhaps their most spirited effort of the year in front of a large and enthusiastic crowd.

It seems only fitting that the Aggies out-dug the Anteaters, finishing with a total of 64 digs on the night.

Senior outside hitter Allison Whitson contributed a team high of 14 digs to go along with 13 kills, while setter Jenny Woolway had 37 assists and 12 digs of her own.

Last week, coach Jamie Holmes expressed her team’s need to shut down both of Irvine’s dynamic outside hitters to pull out a victory.

While the Anteater’s freshman outside Marisa Bubica did tally a match-high 16 kills, UC Davis stepped up in key moments with a crucial block or kill in a match that featured 32 ties scores, with 17 in the final set alone.

Saturday — Long Beach State 3, UC Davis 1 And the streak continues —
