A.S. Election Manager Claire Maniti announced on Friday evening that Lauren Roberts won the A.S. Vice President of External Affairs race by a margin of 2,317 to 2,179. Daniel Juarez and Sabrina Ekdahl, who ran unopposed, will be next year’s A.S. President and A.S. VP of Campus Affairs, respectively. This year, 5,882 students — 23 percent of the student body — voted on TritonLink.

In the campuswide senator race, students voted to elect Kenny Jones, Rachel Adams, Desiree Johnson, Morgan Kuwashima and Dharla Torres.

Also, Golan Khorshidi and Azze Ngo won the OffCampus Senator seats while Rubab Rizvi won Transfer Senator. In addition, Alexis Eubank, Christy Olds, Denasia Gaines, Emily Globe and Angie Aguilar won the races for Arts and Humanities Senator, Biological Sciences Senator, Social Sciences Senator, Engineering Senator and Physical Sciences Senator, respectively.

The Students Determined slate — which included Juarez, Roberts, Jones, Adams, Ngo, Rizvi, Eubank, Olds, Gaines and Torres — won 10 of the 16 A.S. Council positions that students can vote on. Ekdahl, Johnson, Kuwashima, Globe, Aguilar and Khorshidi of Tritons United won the remaining six.

The newly elected A.S. Council members will assume their positions during Week 8 of this quarter. Juarez will replace current A.S. President Dominick Suvonnasupa while Roberts and Ekdahl will take over for Krystl Fabella and Taylor Valdivia, respectively.

The student body also approved the A.S. Campus Activity Fee Referendum by a margin of 3,172 in favor to 1,922 against. The referendum increases the fee by $14.92 per student per quarter and will be allocated toward student events, organizations and services.

Following the announcements, Daniel Juarez told the UCSD Guardian that she is looking forward to serving the student population and pursuing initiatives such as improving student housing.

“I think that we really need to start focusing on the material realities that students face,” Juarez said. “And if we’re not doing that then I don’t think we’re doing anything good for the students.”

In response to the victory of her slate, A.S. VP of External Affairs-elect Lauren Roberts told the Guardian that she is honored to have been a part of their campaign.

“They represent so much more than names, pictures and candidate statements,” Roberts said. “These people, to

UC SYSTEM

Campuses Increase In-State Admission Offers The 15-percent boost puts the UC system on track to enrolling 5,000 additional Californians.

BY jacky to and josh lefler

NEWS EDitors The UC Office of the President announced last Monday that the nine undergraduate UC campuses accepted 8,488 more California residents than the previous academic year — an approximate 15-percent increase.

According to an April 4 press release, these numbers put the UC system as a whole on track to meet its goal of enrolling 5,000 additional California undergraduates for the 2016-2017 school year and 2,500 students for each of the following two years. UCSD will admit approximately 750 additional California-resident students, UCSD Communications Manager Christine

Clark told the UCSD Guardian.

To cover the costs associated with enrolling more students, the state of California will provide the UC system with $25 million to supplement the $25 million that UCOP will provide.

This, according to UC President Janet Napolitano, reaffirms the University of California’s dedication to educating in-state residents.

“We’ve intensified our efforts to boost enrollment of Californians at the University, and all indications are that these efforts are working,” Napolitano stated in the press release.

“Our commitment to California and California students has never wavered, even through the worst financial downturn since the Great Depression. Now, with additional state funding, we are able to bring in

even more California students.”

UCOP has received criticism over the past few weeks after state auditor Elaine Howle concluded in her report that the UC system lowered admission standards for out-of-state students in order to profit off of the higher tuition rates that nonresidents pay. UCOP admitted in the press release that it voluntarily increased out-of-state enrollment for financial reasons.

“Nonresident tuition at the University is an important component of UC’s fiscal stability, which was severely stressed by a $1 billion cut in state funding, a third of the University’s core educational budget,” the press release stated.

See ADMISSIONS, page 3

associate news editor Members of the Black Student Union hosted an overnight program for admitted black students last week in conjunction with a quarterlong social media campaign, titled #BlackAtUCSD, to “[raise] awareness of the black experience at UC San Diego.”

According to the Facebook event page, #BlackAtUCSD is a hashtag meant to “chronicle different events, programs, and protests on campus,” and “serve as an archive of Black life [and] Black experiences … at UCSD.” Andre Thompson, student intern at UCSD’s Black Student Union and one of the organizers of the event, explained to the UCSD Guardian what the origins of the hashtag are in an email.

“The hashtag #BlackAtUCSD has been used since my first year as a way to chronicle the life and experiences of Black and Afrikan [sic] students at UC San Diego,” Thompson said.

“Since my second year it has exploded in use and has been an archive of Black life at UCSD to address the anti-Blackness that prevails here.”

Over the course of 10 weeks, students are encouraged to share their stories with the hashtag through Twitter, Instagram and Facebook in the context of weekly themes including “Black Appropriation,” “Black in the Classroom” and others.

These anecdotes, according to Thompson, are meant to highlight and point out the overt and more often subtle ways in which black students experience racism on campus and in their daily lives.

“Usually the conversation of Blackness is only brought up when racist events come up across the country and people quickly forget the reality of being Black on an everyday basis,” Thompson said.

Thompson introduced a Google Form to the event page in which students could submit their #BlackAtUCSD stories anonymously, citing the concern that “students might feel more comfortable posting to the hashtag through an anonymous platform.” Thompson also stated that non-black students can support the campaign by discussing incidents of racism they have observed on campus.

“Non-Black students can show solidarity by telling their own stories of anti-blackness … and how it affects them,” Thompson said. “The biggest See BLACK, page 3

Scientists Engineer Most Pressure-Resistant Steel to Date The steel alloy, called SAM2X5-630, can be used as external armor for human bodies or objects such as satellites.

By LAUREN HOLT

STAFF WRITER UCSD researchers announced that they have engineered a type of steel that now holds the highest recorded elastic limit, which determines the amount of pressure that can be applied to a material without it experiencing permanent deformation, in an April 5 press release. The project began in 2012 and involved researchers from the University of Southern California, California Institute of Technology and Alfred University.

The steel, called SAM2X5-630, is an alloy that differs from other steel materials by its amorphous matrix and “very small” amounts of crystalline regions. According to the researchers, the crystalline regions are what allowed the material to break the elastic limit record, meaning the steel can withstand more pressure than almost any other material without being permanently deformed. Diamond still holds a higher elastic limit, but it is impractical for real-world use as a material.

The goal of the research was to alter the mechanical properties

of the steel in order to make the material less brittle, mechanical engineering professor Olivia Graeve told the UCSD Guardian. However, Graeve stated that participating in the project was also a matter of personal interest.

“These types of materials, which are amorphous materials, [have so many] questions about them; there are so many unknowns,” Graeve said. “[Joining the research] was really just [out of] curiosity.”

Graeve developed the steel alloy through a number of steps that took the material from a mixture of powdered elements to a solid that could endure impact testing. The metal powders were first mixed in a graphite mold. Then, Graeve and her team pressurized the powders at 100 mega-pascals and applied a current of 10,000 amperes at 1165 degrees Fahrenheit, which consolidated the components into a solid piece of material, through a time-and energy-saving process called “spark plasma sintering.”

After Graeve completed the material, it was passed along to assistant professor Veronica Elaisson, who specializes in shock waves at USC. She tested the steel

to determine its elastic limit by shooting samples of the steel with copper plates from a gas gun at speeds ranging from 500 to 1300 meters per second.

Researchers were shocked at how well the steel alloy resisted permanent deformation during the tests, Elaisson explained to the Guardian.

“It was surprising because none of the previous results that we had seen pointed that this would ever happen,” Elaisson stated. “A lot of the previous people had said that, if anything, [the elastic limit of the material] just stays the same as if you have a fully amorphous sample, and if you have a sample with a tiny crystalline region, [the limit] is not going to change that much.”

The steel alloy received an elastic limit score of 11.76 plus or minus 1.26 giga-pascals when at a thickness of 1.5 to 1.8 millimeters, completely dwarfing stainless steel’s 0.2 giga-pascal elastic limit.

According to Graeve, because its elastic limit is so high, SAM2X5-630 can serve as an external shield that protects internal objects.

“If you have something that is delicate or you don’t want it to get

damaged, you can use this material for the outside as shielding or protection,” Graeve said. “Using it as shielding in satellites and things like this is a very good example.”

Graeve also noted that the project was important from an educational point of view because it contributed to the academic growth of student scientists involved.

“The students that were involved were very interested [in the project], so we now have a new generation of scientists that find this area of research compelling and want to continue working on it,” Graeve stated. “Besides from the science, we have the development of new young people [in this area of engineering and science], so that’s also very rewarding.”

Elaisson believes this project will have notable ramifications for future research, although she is unsure of what that research will be.

“It opens up a whole new venue of the interesting research that can be done,” Elaisson said. “I see good things happening in the future for these types of materials.”

Incoming A.S. VP of Student Affairs Sabrina Ekdahl told the Guardian that one of her main platforms is increasing the sense of

community at UCSD and she hopes to do so through avenues including UCSD athletics.

“I’m strongly pushing for that [Division-I] referendum so hopefully that passes,” Ekdahl said.

“With that, what I want to do is get students more engaged in athletics and just school spirit it general. I think athletics is a great platform for

students to get involved.

Students will vote on the whether or not to shift UCSD athletics to NCAA Division I during Week 8 of this quarter.

Out-of-State Students Pay $24,708 More Than Residents for Tuition ▶ ADMISSIONS, from page 1

“Nonresident enrollment at UC [universities] grew in direct response to this decline in state funds, which remain below prerecession levels.”

According to the UC admissions website, nonresident students pay an average of $24,708 more than what California residents pay for tuition.

A.S. Vice President of External Affairs Krystl Fabella told the Guardian in November, when UCOP’s plan was announced, that the proposed influx of new students

would overwhelm the infrastructure of the university.

“Any student on the ground dealing with these daily struggles will know that our campus is not ready to take on [the additional students],” Fabella said. “It’s not just new dorm beds and classes that would need to be factored in. It’s literally everything that will be aggravated even more with the enrollment: student-toteacher ratio, overwhelmed TAs, housing, parking, etc. This will prove to be way more costly, with all the elements that would go into it.”

In addition to accepting more California residents, the UC campuses also admitted more California freshmen of Chicano or Latino and African-American descent, which comprise 37.2 percent of all admitted students. Further, the proportions of the admission pool that are firstgeneration college students and students from low-income families also rose to 42.8 percent and 37.4 percent, respectively. josh lefler

source of support would be to learn and make sure the people around them learn as well.”

UCSD has a history of racist incidents on campus. In 2010, one of the campus’ fraternities hosted a “Compton Cookout,” which encouraged students to dress “ghetto” and eat watermelon as a means of mocking Black History Month, prompting backlash from the black student population and its allies. That same year, a student was suspended

after she admitted to hanging a noose on the seventh floor of Geisel without understanding the racial implications of the symbol.

Just recently, the self-proclaimed satirical newspaper The Koala released an issue containing racial epithets and mocking the use of safe spaces. The BSU staged protests against The Koala last November.

But Thompson argues that it is the non-antagonistic and appropriative forms of racism that this initiative is meant to target.

“This campaign is necessary to

open up the eyes of UCSD and bring together the REAL story of Blackness at this campus and to dispel many harmful stereotypes perpetuated by the student body,” Thompson said. “The racial exclusion here is of commodity. People only want to consume Blackness without caring who it hurts or affects” According to UCSD admission statistics, black students comprise less than 2 percent of the school’s undergraduate student body. jOSH LEFLER

WHINE AND DINE

With all-time high costs of college and limited access to healthy foods, students who are required to buy meal plans at least deserve full autonomy over them.

With Spring Quarter ushering in a panic of scrambling students either selling their unused dining dollars or desperately trying to purchase dining dollars, it seems proper to address Housing, Dining and Hospitality and its rather unsavory policies and regulations. In the best interest of the students, HDH should cease to limit the transfer of dining dollars among students, and improve the overcharging, insufficient operating times, and unhealthy options faced by students desperate to make use of mandatory dining plans.

First, dining dollar transactions between students should not be limited to Spring Quarter and sellers of dining dollars should not be forced to keep the HDH “recommended” amount. Forcing students to keep a certain amount each week only increases the risk that the dining dollars won’t be sold at the end of the quarter. Limiting the amounts students can transfer makes it difficult, if not impossible, to sell large amounts of dining dollars, which is vastly more convenient than selling small amounts of dining dollars weekly. Students who have already paid for dining dollars deserve full autonomy over spending and selling their dining dollars in any way they see fit.

The mandated purchase of dining dollars is one the most prominent downsides to living on campus in residential halls. The smallest plans for

those living in the residence halls is the Triton Lite plan at $3,255, and — since students are forced to buy dining dollars — HDH can, and does, overcharge on numerous items. For example, the markets charge $1.79 for an individual cup of cereal while Amazon sells a pack of 60 for about 78 cents per cup, Target for $1.07, and CVS for $1.00. Students, forced to spend dining dollars at HDH markets, are compelled to make such absurd uneconomical purchases to spend money they had to buy. Mandating the purchase of dining dollars with oncampus residence no longer subjects either the HDH markets or dining halls to the level of competition faced by other markets and restaurants. Competition drives better food at lower prices, as restaurants and markets are forced to compete for consumers so they are constantly improving.

The hours of the dining halls are similarly problematic for college students.

With most dining halls closing at 9:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, many students have to resort to microwavable food or quick noodles — both unhealthy options — from the markets to fit their eating schedule. Other UC campuses such as UC Berkeley have late-night initiatives with dinings halls open until 2:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, according to Berkeley.edu. While HDH does attempt to make accommodations for those with food allergies,

A TRUMP-SUPPORTING GROUP — ONE OF MAN WHO HAVE BEEN FORMING ACROSS AMERICAN COLLEGE CAMPUSES — LEFT XENOPHOBIC REMARKS ON CAMPUS EARLIER THIS WEEK. WHAT COUNTER-ACTIONS ARE APPROPRIATE?

Top-Down Authoritative Measures to Eliminate Trump To Ensure That College is A Safe Environment, Campuses Must Take Action and Listen to Students Who Feel Targeted Protestors Will Not Address Root of National Problem For a candidate who sticks to such vague rhetoric, Donald Trump has a clear reputation in the minds of supporters and detractors alike. He repeatedly insults and scapegoats entire groups of people, including Mexicans, Muslims, women, refugees, Chinese people, disabled people, LGBT people and the poor, which altogether accounts for a majority of people on Earth. Trump’s ideas have no place on college campuses that are trying to increase diversity and empower disadvantaged groups, because his campaign consists mainly of the idea that taking and keeping power away from minorities will make America great again.

Trump’s message evidently resonates with David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the KKK, and white supremacist organizations like the American National Super PAC and the American Freedom Party, who have endorsed Trump. Trump responded only with feigned ignorance about their politics, followed eventually by lukewarm disavowal after heavy media criticism.

Supporters absolutely understand the threat a Trump presidency poses to minorities, and use his name and rhetoric to intimidate them. News outlets as varied as NBC and Breitbart have reported various high schools, especially private, predominantly white ones, chanting “Trump” and “Build a Wall” at sporting events against rival, predominantly Hispanic teams. Most of these kids cannot vote, showing it has less to do with the actual election and more with the new acceptability of racist rhetoric in the mainstream.

The sight of security escorting out protesters remains commonplace at Trump rallies. In Las Vegas, Trump stated his desire to hit protesters and has encouraged attendees to do it for him, promising to cover legal fees. An attendee in Fayetteville, North Carolina was charged for assaulting a protester on their way out, and videos at other rallies show similar responses. No other candidate’s rallies facilitate the violence, coercion, and rage that Trump’s do.

Feeling unsafe seems like a reasonable response to anonymous peer support of a man who incites violence, and when students honestly voice these feelings, calling them oversensitive does not fix the problem, it only further disenfranchises them. College is about exposure to new ideas, but bigotry and discrimination are not new ideas to any minority student, and they inevitably learn them their whole lives on campus and off. Constantly making this conversation about free speech derails the actual dialogues that happen in response, like student-organized protests.

The rise of student-led political groups supporting Donald Trump for president has led to a series of counter-protests from students who condemn Trump’s discriminatory policies, such as one at University of Illinois at Chicago that resulted in “fights inside the University of Illinois Chicago Pavilion and in the streets outside” after Trump cancelled his appearance due to safety concerns, according to The Guardian. While it is easily arguable that Trump’s policies have encouraged violence and bigotry, it would be ineffective to silence these groups since they will continue to exist in the world outside of college. If education is supposed to prepare students for the real world, then creating a safe space without Trump supporters will ultimately fail to ensure college students can adequately handle ugly truths such as racism and bigotry.

In addition, simply shutting out speech we disagree with is not an effective way to counter political groups. Denying Trump supporters the right to protest ignores the fundamental reason why freedom of speech exists. As Obama noted in a 2015 interview, “free speech is to make sure that we are forced to use argument and reason and words in making our democracy work,” according to nymag. In other words, we should be forced to think critically and rationally as to why we disagree with Trump’s views. We should not just blindly silence Trump supporters without even making an attempt to understand or comprehend them; rather, we need to refine our arguments to counter their views in a comprehensive manner.

This means creating student-led protests that peacefully and intelligently refute Trump’s views, not reacting violently or forcefully.

Instead of going to a higher authority figure and convincing them to shut down a rally we find disgusting, we as students should lead the fight in protesting against such bigotry and racism. An administrative solution (such as forbidding any pro-Trump language) would fail to convince any undecided students that pro-Trump sentiment is inherently racist and discriminatory. Furthermore, student-led solutions have consistently had longer-lasting effects, largely because students have protested and convinced many of their peers. The responsibility therefore falls to us as students, not the administration, to protest discrimination and bigotry in whatever form it may take both on and off our campus.

If there’s one thing every UCSD student was preoccupied with over the last week, it was voting for candidates in the A.S. Election. Yes, the yearly campaigns stormed the school: On Library Walk, on Tritonlink, on your Facebook feed, on Tinder, Grindr — no one turned a blind eye to this massive process. Candidates took to every public place to tell you how they want to ameliorate campus, improve inclusivity and eliminate debt, climate change, disagreement, as well as all of the bad things.

That’s why we’re here to tell you readers how to be an active voter.

Though it may seem natural to vote for who is qualified, who has tangible plans, realistic solutions and individual platforms, it’s become clear — and rightly so — that in order for the school to thrive, you really have to think about the big picture.

We’re talking one word: slates.

As Washington has proved in recent years, there’s a certain goodness to Congressional gridlock, a certain sanctity in stagnation, a certain beauty in bi-partisan politics. Why not, then, bring this American value to the college level?

As a voter, there are things that you simply must do.

First and foremost, pay attention to vibes as you research the slates.

The vibe is vital. Say someone from the slate you do not support turns out to be different than other people on the slate — again, I’m asking you to imagine — and, for that reason, attracts your attention. Do not give into temptation. You’re better than that. We all make sacrifices for the sake of polarization. And if someone dares be an Independent, well, clearly they’re just some hipster with a political agenda who doesn’t truly care about change on campus. If they did, they would gladly subscribe to the way we do things here in college politics, and we would be able to either hail them or recycle them based on the people they’re running with. It’s not rocket science. It’s efficiency.

The next step is to head into the heart of campus to check for any remnants of The Guardian’s endorsement issue. If you find any, do not hesitate to recycle all of them.

We mistakenly forgot to account for analysis of candidates on group membership rather than an individual basis, and we are so, so sorry for inhibiting any progress.

What’s more important than having candidates who are qualified and passionate about achievable goals is having candidates who kind of agree, or, like, both wear the same color of shirt when they campaign, right? We want the people representing the University of California at San Diego to look like one group, in terms of shirt color — it doesn’t matter if they have unified philosophies and values.

With many decisions, you have to weigh costs and benefits. But there are no downsides to slates. There are no tensions, no distractions, no grievances that have to be filed, no slandering. It’s pure action, legislation, progress. If you really care about facilitating change on this campus as a voter, it’s time to cut the crap, flip a coin and pick a side.

If Required to Purchase Dining Plans, Students Deserve Healthier Options ▶ DINING from page 4

often, those individuals are forced to eat the same meal on a daily basis with minimal variation.

Upon further examination of the nutrition facts of some of the food provided by HDH, many of the foods aren’t as healthy as previously thought.

Take, for example, the HDH Sausage Breakfast Burrito, which — according to UCSD’s HDH webpage — has 1428 calories, and — according to a daily 2,000 calorie diet — 161 percent of the recommended daily amount of fat, 131 percent of saturated fat, 138 percent of cholesterol and 196 percent of sodium. While McDonald’s may have a reputation for serving unhealthy

foods, their Big Mac has less than half as much fat, 50 percent of saturated fat, 26 percent of cholesterol and 40 percent of sodium. Of course, HDH does offer alternative foods at lower calorie counts. However, the fact that McDonald’s serves healthier food than UCSD dining halls raises some concerns, as does the defense of the meatless breakfast burrito item given

by HDH’s registered dietician, who suggested to “split it with a friend.”

Some of the expected larger calorie food items, such as the Buffalo Chicken Oozer and desserts, don’t have their nutritional facts listed on the HDH website and require one to inquire about the specific dish.

As one solution to the concerns

raised above, Triton Cash could replace dining dollars, as they are accepted at dining halls and markets and yield 10-percent discounts for students. HDH already has a big advantage in offering incredibly convenient locations for students, but for the sake of both healthier options and affordability, it’s time that the dining halls and markets are subjected to external market forces. While no longer requiring the purchase of dining dollars will certainly detract from HDH’s revenue, it will also push them to improve both the pricing and nutrition of the food they provide.

n the outskirts of campus, between the theater district and Revelle College, lies a small yet elaborately painted building. With artistic and colorful murals, including the portrait of the Marxist icon, Che Guevara on its wooden walls, the building almost feels misplaced, and it sticks out among the modern, concrete architecture found throughout our campus. But this is, and

photo by Cory Wong/UCSD Guardian has always been, the point of the C.H.E. Cafe, which is an enduring fixture on campus. The name of the Cafe itself is not only an homage to the Argentine revolutionary, but a backronym for “Cheap Healthy Eats.” It may be small and eccentric, but its political and artistic presence and mere existence over the last 50 years is symbolic of the spirit of inherent tensions between students and administrators.

Jaye MacAskill, president of the Save Our Heritage Organization, listed the Cafe on the 2015 Most Endangered List of Historical Resources and is currently working with the C.H.E. Cafe Collective to get historical designation for the facility. She spoke with the UCSD Guardian about the Cafe’s long history of activism.

“It’s being nominated for its cultural significance,” MacAskill told the Guardian. “It was a bastion on campus for free thought and inclusion on campus.”

The C.H.E. Cafe’s history dates back to May 6, 1966, when the Revelle Times came out with an article titled “Coffee House Donated.” It cited the relocation of three wooden buildings to the south of Revelle College.

Chancellor Galbraith used $10,000 in registration fees to pay for the foundation of the building. It was designed by university architects and built by student volunteers.

By the beginning of the following year, the coffee house opened and was shortly after named the “Coffee Hut.” It was intended as the original student union. On Feb. 13, 1970, a Triton Times advertisement read “Associated Students Presents at the Coffee Hut: ‘Groovy X-rated Trash Flicks’ + $0.15 hot dogs.”

Meanwhile, in the 1960s, the Lumumba-Zapata movement was born. Named for two South American revolutionaries, the movement riled up conservative San Diegans. It called for a new college, in addition to the current Third College, focused on recruiting black and Hispanic students. The activists also demanded new lines of study, including colonialism, ethnic studies and technology. In 1969, Chancellor McGill dubbed the demands of Lumumba-Zapata movement an “outrageous

photo by Michelle Louie/UCSD Guardian document written in the cliche ridden style favored by the Marxian ideologists of the New Left.”

Unfortunately, by May 1979, the Coffee Hut had accumulated $53,000 in debt and was shut down.

Chancellor McElroy supported turning the Coffee Hut into a Faculty Club but was stopped after student protests.

The Coffee Hut was subsequently turned over to A.S. management, which passed it onto the Student Center Board. In November of that year, the Board decided to move the UCSD Guardian into the vacant buildings in order to make room for the new General Store. Another co-op still standing strong today.

That same year, a vegetarian chain restaurant called “Fantastic Foods,” located in what is now Porter’s Pub, went out of business. The Student Center Board gave A.S. a thousand dollars to fix up the kitchen in the Coffee Hut and start a student-run vegetarian eatery. This new “Coffee Hut Kitchen with Veg Restaurant,” as the Daily Guardian wrote on Jan. 9, 1980, soon came to be known as the

C.H.E. Cafe. In 1989, the Guardian moved back to the Old Student Center, following the opening of Price Center.

“It was created as an autonomous space for students there was always tension or often tension between the students and the administration over the site,” MacAskill said. “The school and I think the greater San Diego community felt there was a lot of ‘dangerous’ ideologies being spread there, sort of communist types of socialist ideas And then it took on a complete identity and became the C.H.E. Cafe.”

Throughout the 1980s, members of the co-op hosted punk and reggae concerts at the Cafe, openly expressing their counterculture tendencies. The Cafe tackled issues that are still divisive today and became the first “Safe Space” by hosting “Non-Sexist” LGBTQ socials. By the 1990s, the Cafe had been widely recognized as a hub for the hardcore punk, post punk and indie rock scenes. The U-shaped mural covered building also harbored budding activists of the Civil Rights movements, the Anti-Vietnam War Movement, the student Co-Op Movement, gender equality, environmentalism, vegetarianism and countless others.

An attempt to close the C.H.E. Cafe was made in the spring of 2000. The UCSD administration changed the locks without members’ consent, resulting in a lock-in by members and supporters. The university then demanded that the Cafe hire security guards for every show but was unsuccessful. It was ruled that the university did not have such authority under the 1993 Memorandum of Understanding between the co-ops and the university.

Controversy struck the C.H.E. again when the Cafe chose to sponsor a web project by the BURN! Collective, a directory which linked to a variety of radical websites and mailing lists. Among the groups included was the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), which the U.S. State Department classified as a terrorist organization. UCSD administration accused members of the Che Cafe of violating the USA Patriot Act by supporting FARC, an accusation that was eventually

photo by Daniel Roberto/UCSD Guardian dismissed because the BURN! project only linked to the group’s website rather than hosting it.

The past three years have found the Cafe in constant danger of shutdown. On May 7, 2014, UCAB announced that the Cafe would close for a year to undergo renovations necessary to meet the fire marshall’s safety requirements, estimating that the repairs would cost a total of 1.5 million dollars. UCAB later removed the funds for these renovations from its budget on May 23, prompting controversy that the Collective would not be able to operate out of the building due to safety concerns.

Furthermore, student support for the Cafe appeared weak; a survey by University Centers showed that 83 percent of responders “never attended shows when they visit Price Center or University Center,” while 39 percent considered operating the Cafe as a “very low priority.”

The Graduate Student Association voted to Decertify the C.H.E. Cafe Collective on May 29, 2014, terminating the Master Space Agreement that had been established in 2006 and stripping the Collective of Co-op status.

According to the GSA, the decertification was due to the C.H.E. Cafe’s failure to comply with the Master Space Agreement by failing to pay rent. GSA recommended that the Cafe temporarily relocate to the Student Center.

In spite of the disagreement with respect to safety regulations, the C.H.E. Cafe Collective continued to use the building during Fall 2014 and Winter 2015. UCSD administration gave the C.H.E. Cafe an order to vacate the building by March 14, changed to March 17. The eviction notice sparked heated protests from the student body and, in defiance, supporters of the Cafe began an around-theclock occupation of the building. The university was legally required to enforce the eviction within 180 days of March 17, an action which it never followed through with.

The occupation continued through the hottest months of summer. In July, Chancellor Khosla became involved in negotiations marking a significant turning point for the “Save the C.H.E.” movement. Finally, in September 2015, the two groups came to an agreement to continue lease negotiations and for the university to pay for a new sprinkler system, tempered glass windows and a better evacuation path.

“A loud and overwhelming message of ‘Save the C.H.E’ from current students, alumni and community members,’

came in various forms,” the C.H.E. Collective said in a statement to the UCSD Guardian. “It included a recordbreaking 24/7 occupation of the threatened space lasting 120 days, artist and alumni boycotts of the university, marches [and] rallies.”

In response to student protests, A.S. Council and the GSA passed a resolution that demanded student inclusion on the fate of the facility and its history. According to

photo by Daniel Roberto/UCSD Guardian GSA records, the C.H.E. Collective Campus Integration Committee is designed to “assist the C.H.E Collective with the interim reintegration period, defined as starting from the beginning of Fall 2015 and concluding at the end of Spring 2016.” The committee focused on developing data about student involvement and interest in the C.H.E Cafe while facilitating events and activism of the Collective.

While negotiations continue, C4 will present the collected student metrics to A.S. Council, UCSD administration, and the GSA for each quarter.

Over the past year, the committee has focused on gathering data about student involvement and interest in the C.H.E. Cafe while facilitating events and the activism of the Collective. As negotiations continue, the Committee will continue to present the collected student metrics to A.S. Council, UCSD administration and the GSA for each quarter. The Committee report for Fall 2015 noted that “the C.H.E Collective has had a stronger community focus than student focus, with few students attending events and fewer actively participating in the collective. In the opinion of the committee, before additional money is spent on maintenance or renovation of the facility, the C.H.E Collective should demonstrate a willingness and ability to engage the student population of UCSD.” In the following months the C.H.E Collective underwent a subtle schism, forming two parts: the Collective and the C.H.E Cafe Support network. Raquel Calderon, a senior Muir College student and core member of the collective, explained the duties of the two groups to the Guardian. According to Calderon the CCSN is mainly alumni who, as the name implies, support the collective at hearings, press events, and concerts. The Collective is formed of students and is the main force on campus representing the historic cafe.

“As far as I know, there’s isn’t really a strict definition as to what makes one a collective member and I think that’s because we try to maintain openness; our weekly meetings are open to the public,” Calderon said. “The CCSN has done a good amount to be supportive, showing up to our court hearings, speaking to the media about why they support the C.H.E. Cafe, and working on Historical Site Designation for the C.H.E... There are really two different ways to participate in supporting the C.H.E.” Currently the C.H.E. Cafe and the other co-ops, whose leases expire in June, are negotiating with the administrator to renew these agreements. Andrea Carter, the current lawyer representing the Cafe, informed the Guardian that they are amicably working with administration to find a deal before the leases end for Groundwork Books, the General Store and the Food Co-Op. However, the Cafe remains without an agreement for the intervening time.

“The C.H.E. Cafe, even before negotiations began, asked for an interim agreement that would give them some security while negotiating and so far the University has been unresponsive,” Carter told the Guardian. “Despite this, we have great hope and optimism that we will finally emerge with a new and acceptable lease for all four co-ops.

The university does seem very motivated to ink a deal by or before June.”

According to Calderon, once the new lease is approved, the Collective aims to continue physical improvements to the facility over the summer such as a rehaul of the kitchen and Life Safety repairs. As mediated negotiations between administrator, A.S. Council, GSA and the co-ops struggle on, Calderon emphasizes that the C.H.E. Cafe is a vital part of not only UCSD’s history but of UCSD’s future.

“If anything, I would hope that it would come to be understood that the C.H.E. Cafe provides value to students by being the volunteer-run, empowering space that it is and on that, councils would have faith that we are representing student interests,” Calderon said.

A Different Kind of Accolade

UCSD’s Intercollegiate Athletics Department recently won an award for promoting diversity and inclusion on campus. The UCSD Guardian takes a look at the initiative the Athletics Department has taken within the last year to merit this recognition.

Although UCSD is a campus that some may see as lacking diversity, university faculty has put a lot of effort into promoting an inclusive campus environment. On Thursday, March 3, UCSD hosted its 21st Annual Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action and Diversity Awards Ceremony. Among the award recipients was the UC San Diego Intercollegiate Athletics Department, which was previously honored by the Minority Opportunities Athletic Association for its efforts in diversity and inclusion.

At the ceremony, the chancellor praised the athletics department for its commitment to creating and promoting programs of outreach both for student athletes and for faculty. Earl Edwards, director of athletics at UCSD, emphasized in a video message aired at the ceremony that the award is representative of the athletic department’s recent push toward diversity.

“The award fits in well with what we are trying to do at the athletic department. Diversity and inclusion is a big part of who we are,” Edwards said. “We will continue with our athletes to not only help with the athletic department but also with the other constituents of our campus. We want to make sure that we are the champions of diversity and inclusion.”

Katie McGann, the associate athletics director for compliance and student services, is the one behind many of these initiatives and went into more detail as to what the department does in terms of outreach to different communities, on and off campus.

“The part that I’m most proud is that as a department we’re really trying to take, as Earl Edwards mentioned, a systematic approach,” McGann told the UCSD Guardian.

“We’re really hoping that we as administrators and as leaders are modeling the type of culture we want to see with our student athletes. Also, we met with the five campus community centers’ directors and [are] really taking it to another level in terms of earning our piece of the pie and contributing in creating the culture for the campus community at large.”

McGann also highlighted the efforts made in the department to hold everyone, from directors to athletes as well as staff members, to the same standards and level of involvement in the programs. The faculty, for example, undergo a training program in order to be better prepared to apply what McGann calls the “systematic approach,” which is a way of developing a unified process to face diversity and inclusion issues. The systematic approach within the athletics department means better education of the student athletes over issues dealing with diversity and inclusion, reporting of these issues and involvement in the community.

“This being the first year of this systematic approach, we are really taking steps to make sure that the message is being conveyed with the student-athletes,” McGann said.

“We’re doing a good job of communicating that within our own athletic department administratively and coaching staff and making sure that we get it to the next step and

including student-athletes in that conversation.”

With the faculty heavily backing the initiatives, the department’s commitment has also drawn support from student-athletes who are a part of the program. The diversity and inclusion initiative led to the creation of a Diversity and Inclusion Committee, comprised of staff and student-athlete representatives. This committee includes senior fencer Drew Dickinson, junior long jumper Derek Van De Streek and senior volleyball player Heidi Sierks.

Among the issues the committee discusses is the sexual assault reporting process, which has changed in part thanks to input by student-athletes.

In order to strengthen the student community as a whole, this committee has a mission of outreach toward the five campus community centers involved in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion: LGBT Resource Center, Raza Resource Centro, Cross-Cultural Center, Black Resource Center and Women’s Center. Students also receive a course on leadership dealing with diversity, led by Dr. Rhonda Hackshaw from Counseling and Psychological Services, who teaches student-athletes about the different aspects of diversity, race and gender. Dickinson also talked about his leadership role on the Triton Athletes Council where he leads the Diversity and Inclusion committee.

“Last year the NCAA held [its] diversity conference here in La Jolla, and I was fortunate enough to attend that — I guess it really shaped me, and I really wanted to participate in this cause,” Dickinson said. “I attended two conferences: One of them was on sexual assault, and it was really eye-opening, particularly sexual assault in athletics, as well as one conference prepping African-American athletes in high school for college.”

Dickinson will no longer be on campus in the coming years to see the advancements of the initiative. But with the time that he has left, he will continue to push for further actions by the committee and student-athletes.

“The next step would be to get every single team involved in terms of having them do something to contribute to diversity whether that’s on campus or in the community as a whole,” Dickinson said. “I think we can add on to the community service that we already do during the year, like include diversity- and inclusionoriented community service. It wouldn’t just get the student leaders involved in these meetings but every single student-athlete. It would help expose UCSD.” According to McGann, the department looks to continue its outreach efforts in the greater San Diego area.

“It’s critical to what we do, and it’s a big core value for us in athletics,” McGann said. “The student athletes know that we expect them to be leaders on their teams but also in the UCSD community and the greater San Diego community as well.”

Tritons Sweep Holy Names University in Straight Sets at Home UCSD snaps eight game losing streak with win over the Hawks, look forward to the No. 4 ranked Stanford Cardinal next at RIMAC Arena.

BY dev jain

associate sports editor The UCSD men’s volleyball team faced a tough loss at RIMAC Arena this past Friday night. It hosted, and was swept in straight sets by, fifthranked Cal State Long Beach in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation men’s volleyball action.

After this loss, UCSD fell down to 5–22 overall rank and 0–21 in MPSF rankings. Cal State Long Beach, on the other hand, improved to an even better record of 22–6 overall and 16–5 in MPSF. Cal State Long Beach hosted the Tritons back in February, a match that the Tritons lost, and continued to win steadily over the past months to now be tied for third in the MPSF rankings.

They have also already clinched a MPSF tournament berth.

Friday’s match was over after the first three sets, with Cal State Long Beach not pulling any stops and winning all three initial sets. They ended in similar fashion and the final scores were 25–18, 25–16 and 25–17.

The UCSD starters put in the work despite what the final count might imply, as they were able to get all of their 27 kills. Junior outside hitter Ian Colbert and sophomore opposite Tanner Syftestad were able to bring home seven kills apiece themselves.

Syftestad was also able to produce a pair of serving aces for the team along with three solid blocks. Sophomore setter Milosh Stojcic, who hasn’t started since February, started and delivered the team 15 assists and two digs while senior libero Tanner

Howard led the team with eight digs himself. Senior outside hitter Kirill Rudenko also had a decent scoresheet for the night with four kills, an ace, five digs, a solo block, a block assist and two set assists.

The first opening set was probably the closest the Tritons got to winning a set. Initially it seemed that either team could win the set, with there being seven tie scores and two separate lead changes during the course of the set.

The set, if divided into two different stages, can be represented with the Tritons leading the opening stage and with the 49ers coming through and leading the closing stage. The Tritons couldn’t tie up the game during the second stage with the 49ers ending the set ahead.

Originally starting off the set 3–2, the Tritons were down but came off a 4–0 run to make it a 3–6 match as Syftestad scored a kill and served three straight points which gave them the advantage they wanted. The first two points were scored by a pair of Colbert kills from Stojcic. The 49ers were not to be outdone as they tied up the set once more with their own 3–0 run.

After being tied 8–8 for a while, UCSD went on a scoring spree, scoring four points and also playing great defense. This however, couldn’t stop the inevitable. The 49ers slowly but steadily caught back up to the Tritons and eventually took the reins of the set and won in entirety.

The next set didn’t start off any better for the Tritons, as they had to take an early timeout in the face of a 5–0 run from the 49ers. Though this

timeout rejuvenated the team and they scored the next five points out the total six, the 49ers just wouldn’t let their lead go as they scored four more points to distance themselves to 10–5. The Tritons weren’t able to tie the score and eventually lost the set as well.

The third set started off very heated as the Tritons felt a primal need to win, knowing that if they didn’t they would lose the game overall; it was a fight for survival.

They held on until it became a 4–4 tie match. However, they just couldn’t hold back the 49ers, who

went on multiple scoring streaks to eventually win it all.

The Tritons ended their regularseason campaign this weekend and will be looking forward to the next season.

A

select few athletes from the UCSD Track and Field team traveled to the home of their Pac-12 conference affiliate, Arizona State University, this past weekend to compete in the two-day Sun Angel Classic.

The competition proved to be a tough task throughout the events with the likes of Air Force, Notre Dame, BYU and Texas A&M among other Division-I schools competing.

Day One Junior Chrissi Carr was the sole member of the UCSD Track and Field team participating in the first day of the competition, finishing tied for 10th place in the open pole vault competition.

Carr had a positive start to the event when she cleared the opening height of 11’9.75.” However, she found it difficult to get over the next height of 12’3.75” in the three attempts allotted to her.

Day Two The 4x100 relay team made up of Andrew Dirks, Justin

Hunter, Emmanuel Elijah and Paul Doan had the best UCSD performance on the day with a second-place finish in 41.09.

While in the men’s javelin, the three Triton representatives, Anthony Capitulo (204’3”), Travis Vandegriff (200’5”) and Dan Golubovic (200’5”) finished seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively. Vandegriff and Golubovic both performed their best throws as they continue to improve their own provisional qualifiers.

In the triple jump event, Matt Bowen had to settle with eighth place as he produced a jump of 48’.

Doan, in his second event of the day, ran a 21.68 to take 12th place in the 200m even.

Jared Senese took 12th place while running a seasonalbest time of 1:53.19 in the 800m race.

“We took a select group to the (Sun Angel Classic),” Head Coach Tony Salerno told UCSD Athletics. “They competed well against some of the top [Division-I] programs in the nation.”

Softball Splits CCAA Four-Game Series Against San Francisco State.

Tritons push season record to 15–11, losing first game 0–2 and clinching the second game at a hard-earned 5–6 against the Gators.

BY Anthony Tzeng

sTAFF WRITER UCSD’s softball team took to the road and split a doubleheader against San Francisco State on Friday afternoon. As part of a fourgame series in the California Collegiate Athletic Association, the Tritons, now 15–11, put up a hard fight against an equally challenging Gators team, now 16–10. UCSD lost game one on a score of 2–0 but demonstrated its prowess when it rallied back in game two for a 6–5 win.

Game One — San Francisco State 2, UCSD 0 UCSD’s offense was unable to get the ball rolling in the opening series game against San Francisco State. The Tritons could not capitalize on several runners in scoring position and the Gators’ few errors.

Senior starting pitcher Lexi Edwards took the loss while exhibiting solid pitching that spanned six innings. While facing a total of 24 batters, Edwards gave up two runs and struck out three.

Gators’ junior pitcher Megan Clark got the complete game shutout win. She struck out four while only allowing two hits and a walk.

The Tritons had their first opportunity to score in the third inning. With two outs, freshman utility player Darian Van Der Maaten reached base on an error and then stole second.

Sophomore outfielder Kelsi Maday then walked. Together, Van Der Maaten and Maday made a double steal and put two runners on second and third in scoring position. Senior outfielder Taylor Abeyta, with a batting average of 0.296, then struck out and ended the inning.

A similar situation arose during the fifth inning. With runners on second and third, Maday couldn’t bring home Van Der Maaten or sophomore second-baseman Kendall Baker.

Gators’ junior infielder Kayli Shaw hit a solo home run in

the fourth inning to give San Francisco State its first run while redshirt freshman outfielder Alexis Mattos scored from first on senior infielder Jennifer Lewis’s one-out double at the bottom of the fifth.

With only two hits coming from Abeyta and Baker, UCSD ended the game with its fourth shutout of the season.

Game Two — UCSD 6, San Francisco State 5 UCSD bounced back to life in the second game after being previously shut out against San Francisco State. Although the team spent most of its time catching up after the Gators started with a 4–1 lead, the Tritons’ efforts were not in vain.

UCSD came out aggressively and fired first with Maday doubling and then scoring off of sophomore catcher Lauren Sanders’ one out single.

Unfortunately, UCSD’s freshman starting pitcher Lauren Brown then gave the opposing San Francisco State an early lead. After allowing an RBI single, a three-run homer and a solo shot, Brown was replaced in the second inning by senior pitcher Hannah Duarte. By then, the Gators had a comfortable 5–1 lead.

The Tritons responded in the third inning with two runs.

After Maday took first from a hit by pitch, she advanced to second from Abeyta’s sacrifice bunt. The next batter, freshman shortstop Maddy Lewis, doubled and brought home Maday.

Lewis then scored off of senior shortstop McKenna Clewett’s one out single.

In the fifth inning, UCSD tied the game through aggressive hits, sacrifices and errors. Abeyta hit a single and advanced to second via Lewis’ sacrifice bunt. Sanders would then single and bring runners at the corners. Speedy sophomore outfielder Kendall Woken pinch ran for Sanders and stole second while sophomore first-basemen Sam Glantz hit a sacrifice fly and brought home Abeyta. With Clewett at bat, Woken stole third and scored home on a wild pitch. The score was now tied at five-all.

The Tritons took the lead 6–5 in the seventh inning, after Lewis singled and the Gators committed several crucial errors.

Their win was solidified after the last Gators’ batter lined out to pitcher Edwards.

UCSD took game two under its control through aggressive appearances at bat and taking advantage of Gator errors. Pitchers Duarte and Edwards also demonstrated tremendous command by keeping the Gators to five runs throughout the rest of the game, getting the come-from-behind win for the Tritons.
