Marshall Law Officially Ends!

“Now is not the time to point fingers. Now is not the time to be fearful of one another. Now is the time to unite.”

Yet, when Faulk officially announced that he wouldn’t return to SDSU for his senior season at a news conference in the Stadium Club at San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium, he left behind a legacy that may never again be equaled.

– Pieter Frick, dean of the College of Engineering

This was the key sentiment expressed at the all-university memorial service yesterday afternoon in the Open Air Theatre. Hundreds of faculty, staff and students gathered to remember engineering professors Chen Liang, Preston Lowrey III and Constantinos Lyrintzis. “We mourn them and we celebrate all that they gave us,” said Gene Lamke, university senate chairman. The three professors were shot and killed at approximately 2:05 p.m. Aug. 15 on the third floor of the campus engineering building where they had gathered to evaluate a graduate student’s thesis. Campus police were at the scene just two minutes after they were notified, said University Police Lt. Stephen Williams. The suspect, Frederick Martin Davidson, 36, was arrested and taken into custody.

Marshall Faulk left the San Diego State football program Tuesday afternoon the same way he entered it — unassuming, fairly emotionless, speaking with a soft voice and wearing the same sort of clothing.

As the greatest running back in school history and the all-time NCAA record holder for combined rushing and receiving yards in a three-year career, Faulk accomplished virtually everything an individual could at SDSU. The one obstacle that eluded Faulk was a Western Athletic Conference championship, which he admitted gives him “an empty feeling.” Faulk, who was rumored to leave after his sophomore season but elected to return, said he never regretted his decision to return this year. He said he made his final decision to forego his final year of eligibility three or four days ago. “It was a long thought process,” Faulk said. “Me, my mom, my (high school) coach — we talked about it all through the year. ‘If I have a good year, what would I do?’ It came to a point where I thought I wanted to come back, but with the coaching changes and the year that I had, I felt like it was time for a change.” AZTEC ATHLETES continued on P3

Since then, Davidson has pled not guilty to the murders. His attorney has entered a plea of insanity. Davidson’s preliminary hearing has been set for Dec. 5 by Municipal Judge Albert Harutunian.

CAMPUS BUILDINGS continued on P5

He was awarded the first honorary doctorate degree given by the California State College System. He was met by an enthusiastic crowd of about 30,000 persons in Aztec Bowl. He had just completed a successful parade down the streets of San Diego.

A nation and much of the world still mourn his passing. We at SDS had more than the usual attachment with the late President. He “belonged” to this college by the fact that he made a special effort to speak here and accept a degree from us. The students of this college have reacted greatly to the late President’s call for volunteers to his pet prokect, the Peace Corps. He was a martyr in every sense of the word. Death came to him during his service to his country.

TRAGEDY continued on P11

The 2006 referedum promised additional facilities, such as a 24/7 “state of the art” study space with lounges, theatre-style performance space, healthy food offerings for the Aztec Center Food Court, a day spa, new fitness and recreational facilities, more meeting rooms for students, and more bowling allies and electronic games, not to mention more job opportunities for students to staff these outlets.

He spoke here during commencement little more than six months ago. He described himself as an “instant graduate.”

The youthful President dead and buried.

“I have never seen the university as glued together as I have in the past 20 days – from the president of the university to the smalled person,” said Dr. Nihad Hussain, associate dean of the College of Engineering and professor of mechanical engineering.

This week, student will be given the opportunity to vote on whether to self-impose a new student fee for facility upgrades to Aztec Center. For some students this may sound like deja-vu—in 2006 students voted on a similar measure to increase student fees by $56 throughout the course of four years; the last portion of that fee increase went into effect this semester.

An SDSU alumnus is dead.

He was widely identified with young Americans.

Cou n ci l Mee t i n g E n d s i n Viole n ce Six persons were injured and the bottom floor of the Administration Building left in shambles as approximately 35 persons turned a special Associated Students Council meeting into a violent demonstration which lasted over an hour yesterday. What started out as a special Council meeting to allow various administrators to explain to interested students what they were doing about the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), the Affirmative Action Plan and other issues related to the demands made by Mecha last Friday, turned into a display of violence. Members of Chicano and white radical groups said the administrators were not giving what they considered valid answers during the meeting. Rico Bueno, Mecha representative to the Council and another Chicano student rose at the meeting and shouted that the group must show its power then and there. Approximately 35 persones then marched to the Administration Building chanting “Chicano power, black power, white power, people power!” and began clapping and shouting in front of the building. After several secretaries the glass doors of the building members of the crowd started breaking windows and burning trashcans and copies of the Daily Aztec in front of the building. CONTROVERSY continues on P8

“Black Weekend” brought tragedy in more than the death of the president. The American-way of justice also suffered in the city of Dallas, Tex. The murder of the accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was reminiscent of old-time lynchings. The act did nothing but deprive Oswald of his right of a fair trial, something we guard very closely in the United States. Millions of persons were as emotionally upset after the President’s death as Jack Ruby, but the death of Oswald solved nothing. Our judicial system would have served the purposes of this nation better than the bullet and curse of Ruby. We have much to be sorry about – the death of a good President, the act of murder that robbed Oswald of his trial and the loss of an opportunity to decide why Oswald might have committed such heinous crime. It was a bizarre weekend, one that should never be reinacted. We can never forget John F. Kennedy and we can never forget the weekend in which our system of justice was ignored by the emotions of a nation. JFK continued on P6

Is SDSU ready for a new student union? The choice is yours.

February 26, 2009

Vol. 94, Issue 80

It’s where we eat, play, study and socialize. And for the past 42 years, Aztec Center has put a roof over generations of Aztecs doing just that. But the building, which was heralded in the 1960’s as the first student union of its kind in the CSU system, is now just called “old.” The polls open tomorrow and the future of Aztec Center is in the hands of the student voters. So read on and decide: Is SDSU ready for a new student union? C I T Y 3 F E AT U R E S 4 M O D E R N S PA C E 6 S P O R T S 9 C L A S S I F I E D S 1 1 B A C K PA G E 1 2

From Aztec Center to Aztec Student Union by Kelly Hillock In the 1960s the Aztec Center was championed as the first of its kind in the California State University system. Next spring it will be replaced with the Aztec Student Union, the first student center in the CSU system to be recognized as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design platinum-certified and almost entirely sustainable.

In 1971, The Aztec wrote, “Aztec Center is a relief from the sameness of academic life. It is a place to relax, to be informal. As you enter this center of student life, you feel the majesty and spaciousness of the columns and arches enhanced by their special lighting.” In January, the campus living room will return with much homage to its predecessor.

11/22/63:

JFK assassinated

The Presidency. The Assassination.

Ronald Moody sdsu alumnus

vividly remember the period of the Kennedy presidency and especially, the assassination.

I graduated from high school and began college in 1960 and followed the presidential campaign with great fascination and enthusiasm. I saw both candidates give campaign addresses in San Diego and watched each of the debates. I clearly recall the excitement of the election night cliffhanger and still enjoy periodically perusing the classic account of that campaign “The Making of the President-1960” by Theodore White. I vividly recall watching the inauguration address during a college public speaking class. My grandfather had been a 1912 classmate of Joseph P. Kennedy at Harvard University, and both families, including my father and JFK, attended the 25th class reunion in 1937. According to family lore, during that reunion my father trounced JFK in a game of pool, and one of my uncles subdued the pugnacious preadolescent Robert Kennedy in a wrestling match.

Due largely to the Kennedy influence, I decided to major in history and pursue a career in public service. I clearly recall most of all the significant events, speeches, news conferences and actions that occurred during the Kennedy presidency including the failed invasion of Cuba, the establishment of the Peace Corps and the Alliance for Progress, the first astronaut launchings, the Vienna summit and the Berlin crisis in 1961, the successive civil rights crises in Alabama and Mississippi, the steel price hike imbroglio, the crises in Laos and Vietnam culminating in the Diem assassination, and especially, the nearly cataclysmic Soviet/Cuban missile crisis of 1962 and its aftermath including the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. For superb accounts of that crisis I highly recommend “One Minute to Midnight” by Michael Dobbs and “Khruschev’s Cold War” by Naftali and Fursenko. On June 6, 1963 President Kennedy received an honorary Ph.D. degree and gave the commencement address in the Aztec Bowl at San Diego State College, which was attended by an estimated 30,000 people, including myself. The subject of his speech was “Our Educational Deficiencies and Their Remedy,” which highlighted

the excellence of the public higher education system in California and the need for federal aid for education in other sections of the country to enable improved educational opportunities including more affordable higher education. This speech is reprinted in “The Burden and the Glory” and is accessible via YouTube. It is a moving and compelling speech that continues to have resonance today. At 10:45 a.m. PST on Nov. 22, 1963, I was on break between classes in the Social Sciences building at San Diego State College when I first learned of the assassination attempt from a cluster of students listening to a transistor radio in the hallway. I immediately walked over to The Daily Aztec’s office, which had a television set and saw a large group of staff and students hovered around it in a state of shock and disbelief. At about 11 a.m. we watched Walter Cronkite make the fateful announcement. I will never forget that moment. Shortly, thereafter, a public address announcement was made that all further classes that day had been cancelled. As I was walking to the parking lot I observed the flag being lowered to half-mast. I recall hundreds of students walking to their vehicles in complete silence and shock.

I recall my parents, sister and I being glued to the TV set all weekend. We watched Friday night as Air Force One taxied up to the ramp at Andrews Air Force Base. As the casket was being lowered I believe it was the NBC network that was playing the sombre second movement of Antonin Dvorak’s New World Symphony, which was overwhelmingly overpowering. I recall the first glimpses of Mrs. Kennedy and President Lyndon Johnson and Mrs. Johnson. I recall the president’s brief sensitive and reassuring remarks. My most vivid remembrance of the funeral was the long parade of top leaders from around the world led by dignified, sombre Prime Minister Harold MacMillan of Great Britain and the towering, regal Charles deGaulle of France. Upon the return to classes the following Tuesday, I recall my 20th century American history class professor (Richard Ruetten) walking in and stating, “Thank God for Lyndon Johnson.” Referring to the recent awarding of the honorary degree, The Daily Aztec’s that day was “He Was One of Us.” I still have that paper, as well as the Nov. 22 San Diego Evening Tribune (extra seventh edition) with its 3-inch bold headline: Kennedy Dead.

#SDSUPresidents

President

Samuel T. Black 1898

President

Edward L. Hardy 1910

With no formal collegiate education and previously serving as the California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Black was San Diego State’s inaugural president. President Samuel Black was a successful teacher and lawyer prior to his presidency. He was celebrated for his compassion and reverence for pioneering the San Diego Normal School.

1910

President

Walter R. Hepner 1935

Previously a San Diego High School principal, Edward Hardy oversaw two transitions that changed the course of the college by obtaining approval for the school to become a four-year college in 1921 and moving the location of the school to its current home on Montezuma Mesa. Hardy triumphed a “progressive education” philosophy, which emphasized the notion that a school’s function was to prepare students for life.

1935

Malcolm A. Love 1952

President Walker Hepner is hailed as the school’s “builder,” doubling the campus’ acreage and acquiring funds to build several buildings including the Aztec Bowl and Open Air Theatre. Similarly, he tripled student enrollment and the amount of academic programs. Hepner is celebrated for his inclusion of both faculty and students in his decision-making with his trademark noted as reliant on “collaborative education and good citizenry.”

1952

1971

Perhaps SDSU’s most beloved president, Malcom A. Love led the school during its exponential growth and pioneered the vision of turning the school into a leading educational force. During his tenure, enrollment grew more than 600 percent and 52 graduate degree programs were established. Previously, the president of the University of Nevada, Reno, Love is celebrated for his passion for the school and charismatic leadership.

All info complied by Marshall Mathers sdsu alumnus

President Brage Golding served the shortest term, yet helped distinguish SDSU from other instituted by emphasizing its academic integrity and a respect to its history. Notably, his decision to name campus buildings after prominent leaders of SDSU affirmed the distinction of SDSU among other California State University campuses. Golding is celebrated for his pragmatic leadership and passion for informal encounters with students and faculty.

Perhaps the most controversial president, Day is remembered for his bluntness and decisiveness. During his tenure, he approved tuition increases and faculty layoffs that resulted in the elimination of nine departments, but also helped turn SDSU into a major research-oriented university by acquiring grants and awards. While still regarded with conflicting opinions, Day led SDSU to become the dominant university it is today.

President

Brage Golding 1972

Hailed as “the uniter,” President StephenWeber emphasized a “shared vision” philosophy that focused on committing to academic excellence and nurturing campus diversity. Known as one to lead by example, Weber utilized an inclusive approach in his decision-making and ultimately oversaw a strong improvement in academic and diversity rankings. Similarly, Weber helped transform SDSU into a global university.

President

Thomas B. Day 1977

1978

#SDSUControversy

Protesters burn The Daily Aztec

Steinmetz accused of Communism

5/4/72

2/5/54

by Leonardo Castaneda A Chicano Movement demonstration resulted in a showcase of violence in May 1972. Protesters burned copies of The Daily Aztec in trash cans, then moved on to smash the windows of the Administration building and finally setting bookshelves on fire inside the building. Protesters were heard to be chanting, “Chicano power, black power, yellow power, white power.” The paper reported more than 2,000 onlookers, several of whom became violent during the protest. The Daily Aztec gave a vivid and detailed report on this violent demonstration, yet did not state the reason behind the protest.

by Leonardo Castaneda At the height of the Red Scare, in 1953, the Luckel Act stated any state employee who would not answer questions before an investigation committee would be fired. Psychology professor Henry Steinmetz evoked the Fifth Amendment when asked whether he had ever been a member of the Communist party. Steinmetz was a known radical political activist, yet President Malcom A. Love resisted the state legislation and the pressure to remove the professor. However, Steinmetz was removed from his position at SDSU in February 1954. Fourteen years later, the Luckel Act was declared unconstitutional, yet Steinmetz was never reinstated and unfortunately, SDSU failed to protect scholastic freedom.

Rockwell Ruckus 3/9/62

by Leonardo Castaneda American Nazi leader George Rockwell gave a speech to SDSU students at the Open Air Theatre, inciting bigotry and hatred, marking on the Jewish, black, and LGBT communities. Rockwell received boos, jeers, and eggs were thrown at him. One Jewish student, Ed Cherry, was so angered that he jumped onto the stage and “slugged” Rockwell twice in the face, breaking his glasses. After the slugging incident, Rockwell retreated to The Daily Aztec offices where staff members interviewed him; Rockwell stated the slugging incident was part of a conspiracy to keep him off college campuses. The Daily Aztec reported that Rockwell left “his scar of racial bigotry and rabble-rousing.”

Not only was this campus more active than any other campus in the war movement, but then when the war is over, more vets used the G.I.

War Coverage

#WarCoverage

World War I

World War II

Vietnam

Iraq/Afghanistan

by Leonardo Castaneda

San Diego State kept going despite the outbreak of war in Europe. President Edward Hardy calmed students’ fears of direct attacks to San Diego. However, no male students were in the graduating class of 1917.

San Diego State’s campus was opposed to the war early on. That all changed after the attack on Pearl Harbor. In the issue above the newspaper warns against retaliation toward JapaneseAmericans while providing information for air raids.

Similar to countless other colleges in the U.S., San Diego State was home to anti-war sentiments. In an editorial in the issue above The Daily Aztec asked students to “do more than whisper about peace.”

The start to what would become one of the most controversial and long-lasting wars in U.S. history. The Daily Aztec had simple matter-of-fact coverage. The paper shifted its coverage to more anti-war as the two conflicts dragged on.

#tragedies

9/11

North Park plane crash

9/12/01

9/26/78

by Leonardo Castaneda The San Diego State community was as shocked by the attacks on the World Trade Center as the rest of the world. Immediately following the tragic events in San Diego the recovery began. The Daily Aztec reported there was counseling available on campus for students. Several opinion columns and student interviews reflected the divide that gripped the nation in coming days and weeks. Some called for moderation and warned against violent retaliation. Others called for swift and forceful retaliation against whomever was responsable for the deadly attacks of 9/11. Almost every anniversary after 9/11 was commemorated by The Daily Aztec. The coverage changed with each subsequent year and the sense of unity that immediately followed that day always remained.

by Leonardo Castaneda On Sept. 25, 1978 a Pacific Southwest Airlines plane crashed into a light plane over San Diego. The crash in North Park killed 142 people, including one San Diego State student. What was at the time the worst aviation accident in U.S. history rattled the SDSU community. SDSU students recalled watching the plane crash and destruction that followed. The coverage of these events eventually won The San Diego Evening Tribune a 1979 Pulitzer Prize. However, The Daily Aztec’s coverage showed a key element of college reporting. It made a city-wide crisis relatable and understandable for SDSU’s college students.

Shooting deaths at SDSU 8/15/96

by Leonardo Castaneda On Aug. 15, 1996 graduate student Frederick Martin Davidson shot and killed three engineering professors on campus, Chen Liang, Constantinos Lyrintzis and Preston Lowrey III. Davidson believed the professors, and the entire engineering department, were working against him. He came upon them when they were gathered in a classroom discussing another student’s work. Davidson opened fire and within minutes SDSU Police Department officers had arrived but it was too late. The days and weeks that followed were filled with an overwhelming sense of community and unity by the San Diego State community. Memorials were held honoring the fallen faculty members where hundreds of students, staff and faculty members gathered. As one faculty member put it, it was not a time for pointing fingers but for coming together.

“Tears Flow from Freshmen Eyes during Final Hours of Registration”

HOW IT WORKS: 10 is good, 1 is bad.

February 9, 1967

egistration on the final day, during the final hour, is enough to make a grown man cry and a gracious girl whisper obscenities under her breath. The last group to go through registration at 11:30 on Friday was unhappy and frustrated. Registration day to SDS freshmen looks like D-Day did to the Germans. it is a grand battle, featuring surprises, complicated strategy and intestinal fortitude. But the freshman is the inevitable loser. “At this rate, I don’t know when I’ll graduate,” said freshmen Edie Stivers. Who does?

Aries (March 21 - April 19) - Today is an 8 - The pace picks up. It’s easy to get distracted and miss an important point. Set up necessary structures to support the final goal and avoid unnecessary upsets. Let others share expenses. May it easy for them to contribute. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) - Today is a 7 - Continue to increase your knowledge this week. The perfect solution appears. All your care pays off, and romance blossoms. But there may be pitfalls or difficulties. Have fun in the garden. Keep nurturing and feeding the soil (and the soul). Gemini (May 21 - June 21) - Today is an 8 - Your mind moves quickly. Don’t try to slow it down, as you’re in discovery mode. Find a treasure in your own home. Clean up your space and get a surprise. Postpone dreams and get to basics. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) - Today is a 9 - Your routine and patience could be challenged. Clear clutter to free up space and possibilities. You’re capable of turning everything into a learning opportunity. Share what you figure out to save others time. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) - Today is a 9 You’ll be gaining confidence this week, naturally. New profits become available, or at least more visible to you. But don’t assume you know more than you do. A partner masks their emotions. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) - Today is a 7 - Your dedication, patience and attention to detail are a necessity right now, and they pay off sooner than later. Everything that you’re going through makes you stronger. All is not as it appears - take care. Rest up tonight. Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) - Today is an 8 - Your imagination goes wild over the next few days. Some confrontations are expected, but stay out of them anyway. You’re overly sensitive right now. Postpone a romantic interlude. Meditate. Take a bubble bath. Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) - Today is an 8 - There’s a choice ahead, and it’s not an easy one. Your friends pull through for you. Continue to decrease your outside obligations. Clean up a mess. Handle chores, and then kick back and assimilate it all. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) - Today is an 8 - Be patient with things that don’t make sense. Taking deep breaths and frequent breaks is almost mandatory. Career matters emerge for your consideration. Run a reality check, and then choose. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) Today is an 8 - Who will you be today? Choose a character and costume that fits your ideal avatar, with room for improvement. Each new advance presents new challenges. Level up and win a new belt or power. Don’t forget it’s just a game. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) - Today is a 9 - Focus on finances, and stay put. Traveling isn’t advisable right now. If you have to go, be prepared for delays. Pack an extra toothbrush. Team resources can be impacted. Plan your next move. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) - Today is a 9 - Make a romantic connection. Develop strong partnership and start a new phase in the relationship. Clear up confusion before proceeding in order to avoid backtracking. Chart your course.
