UC-Level Classes to be Offered Online in January

By Javier Armstrong Contributing Writer

T

he UC Online Instruction Pilot Project (OIPP) — launching in January 2012 — will offer 29 interactive courses through its online program. “Digital Music Creation and Production” and “Acoustics” — which will be taught by music professor Shlomo Dubnov — are UCSD’s only planned online course offerings at this time.

In April, a 10-member review committee composed of nine UC faculty members and UC Office of the President (UCOP) Provost Lawrence Pitts selected 29 out of 70 UC faculty proposed classes. The 29 selected course proposals are now in the implementation phase of the OIPP. The courses are designed to be interactive rather than podcast and text-based and will utilize various online chat features to maintain interaction between teaching assistants and students.

“A lot of the faculty is testing the effectiveness of different approaches to online teaching,” said Vice Provost of Academic Planning, Programs and

Coordination Daniel Greenstein.

According to the program’s website, the online classes will be available for registration alongside regular classes. The program is being referred to as a ‘research project.’ Its initial stage — starting from its inception in January until around June 2013 — will serve as a research tool to gauge its success. If faculty members, students and administrators determine the program to be a success, it may be made available to more undergraduates and potentially to community college students and high school students.

A course catalog for the online program has not been released yet. According to the program’s website, only some of the 29 classes will be available across campuses.

Vice Chair of the UC Academic Senate Robert Anderson says that while the Academic Senate supports the 29 faculty members who are developing the courses, there have been concerns about the intended scope of the project.

The Academic Senate originally received a proposal in 2010 for an eleventh UC cyber campus that would be entirely electronic. That plan has been scaled down due to funding and planning issues.

“We have had concerns about the planning that has gone in to this,” Anderson said.

The cost of the classes has yet to be finalized. UC students taking online courses will receive the same amount of financial aid as if they were taking regular courses. No financial aid is planned for non-UC students at this time.

The Academic Senate backed the proposal for the program based on the claim that the program would raise $30 million from private funds. However, the program has only raised $780,000 — courtesy of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation — at which point the UCOP offered the project an interest-free $6.9 million loan.

“I’m not sure that we should be in the business of offering online courses to large numbers of non-UC students,” Anderson said. “It’s something that needs to be thought through carefully.”

UC intends to repay the loan by reserving online classes for non-UC students and international students, Greenstein said.

A business minor is now available to all undergraduate students through the Rady School of Management.

An information session on the business minor will be held on Oct. 5 by the Rady School and the prebusiness fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi. UCSD currently has no business major — the most comparable major is management science, which has an economic focus. Until this year, the Rady School of Management only offered an accounting minor.

Delta Sigma Pi Vice President of Professional Activities Joshua Cheng said the minor could allow students to explore aspects of business without having prerequisites in economics.

“It’s not something for only the econ majors or the management science majors,” Cheng said. “It’s something that’s universal. Everyone can be an entrepreneur. Anyone can learn these work ethics and business ethics.”

The minor is hoped to further satisfy the Rady School of Management’s goal to provide business education to UCSD students. Students can take courses in areas such as management, communication, math and psychology.

“The Rady faculty as well as faculty from at least six supporting departments believe that students from a wide range of academic pursuits can benefit from some knowledge of business principles and practices,” Jordan Clark, Assistant Dean of the Rady School of Management, said in an email.

Clark emphasized that Rady is not See Business, page 3

New Stuart Art Piece to be Installed in Fall

By Javier Armstrong Contrubting Writer UCSD’s Stuart Collection will add its 18th piece this fall — a 15-by-18-foot house called “Fallen Star” by Korean artist Do Ho Suh. The structure will be placed on top of EBU-1 in the Jacobs School of Engineering on Nov. 3.

“It’s probably the most complex

According to “UC seeks outside students to pay for cyber courses,” published Sept. 12 in the San Francisco Chronicle, Greenstein visited UC study centers in Beijing and Shanghai to recruit Chinese students. According to “UC investing millions in new cyber program,” published Sept. 12 in the San Francisco Chronicle, Greenstein is also in talks with Fidelis, a San Francisco organization that offers online courses for military personnel.

UC Berkeley political science professor and co-chair of the Berkeley Faculty Association Wendy Brown is not sure about the projected success or

the intentions of the online education program. Brown disagrees with UC Berkeley Dean of Law Christopher Edley’s (the program’s leading proponent) argument that the project will bring money into campuses.

“So far, high quality online education programs have gone bankrupt,” Brown said, pointing to examples of Columbia University and the University of Illinois, where failures in online education have been attributed to high attrition rates.

Brown is concerned that the UC program won’t be able to compete with the affordability of online courses offered at community colleges.

“I’m not against online education

or the use of technology,” Brown said. “[But Edley] is taking a different approach, a new innovative method.

This is why they weren’t able to get private funding for the project.”

Private companies have not shown interest in financially supporting the program, Anderson said.

“The foundations expressed interest in other types of online education such as courses for remedial high school education and GED completion,” Anderson said. “There was much less interest in funding large universities.”

Beebe further stated that maintenance will have to be kept on the piece of art and encouraged students to volunteer.

“I’m nervous about the experience of going up there but I think that is part of the point,” Beebe said.

According to Beebe, Suh often focuses on themes of displacement and the feeling of home in his work. Suh’s “Fallen Star” piece also explores the cultural meaning of space, especially in the context of increased globalization.

Hodges and Hodges, one of San Diego’s leading design firms, is heading

the architecture for this project.

The Stuart Collection is funding the piece solely through private donations and a $90,000 grant from the National Endowment of the Arts.

Rady Expects 600 Business Minors by 2013, 100 Already Declared ▶ BUSINESS, from page 1

planning on launching a business major in the future as it believes that business insight coupled with a nonbusiness major is the ideal combination for undergraduates.

“I like to use the example of an art student who would like to not only paint great works, but also have his or her own gallery to display and sell those works,” Clark said. “That entails knowing how to market the gallery and its works, raising and budgeting financial resources, managing operational details and knowing how to work with the public and employees just as a start. The same could be said of most other career options.”

Rady has been providing undergraduate business courses for

over four years — with over 2,500 students enrolled in classes last year.

“I have had hundreds of inquires from students over those four years asking when the business minor would be in place,” Clark said. “Strong support was also voiced by the advising groups at each of the six colleges who understand best the educational and career interests of our undergraduate population since they work directly with this group daily.”

Clark said that the business minor was only added this year because Rady had to build up faculty and administrative resources before it could take on the task, explaining that launching both minors at once would have put a strain on the department.

Plans for the business minor were

conceived of around the same time as the accounting minor. Rady launched its accounting minor two and a half years ago, and it is now the largest minor on campus with nearly 500 enrolled students.

“We had to be assured of the success of the accounting minor before we could move on to the business minor,” Clark said. “To have launched both minors at once would have put too big a strain on what was then more limited resources.”

Currently, 104 students have declared a business minor. Rady expects to have 500 to 600 business minors by the end of June 2013.

OPINION How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Twitter

An Online Education

E

very night, after Facebook stalking but before Rosetta Stone exercises, I sit in front of my laptop and try to find something meaningful to tweet about. I think about the news. I think about lunch. I think about my 26 entire followers. I stress. Then I give up.

Online coursework may be cost efficient for the UC system, but concerns about quality control and sustainability must be addressed before flipping the switch.

A

fter wading through the shallow waters of online extension courses, the University of California is ready to make the leap into the deep end, beginning with the UC Online Instruction Pilot Project in January 2012. The project plans to offer up to 29 for-credit courses with the long-term end goal of expanding online instruction, allowing students to earn a UC degree exclusively online.

The University of California’s planned large-scale entry into online education is an acknowledgement of online education’s potential merit, though its cost effectiveness is tempered by administrative fears of educational quality control and financial sustainability.

The cost-effectiveness of online programs versus traditional education is a definite plus in the eyes of the UC administration. In an interview with the Sacramento Bee, Dean of Berkeley School of Law and program creator Christopher Edley believes that the “bricks-and-mortar model” is no longer sustainable due to the decrease in state funding and the increase in demand for education — factors that make it more difficult to provide access to a UC quality education. Provost and Executive Vice President Lawrence Pitts emphasized the program’s ability to accommodate underrepresented students whose job and family roles might not allow them to be physically present and benefit from an education on a UC campus.

Overall, online courses are cheaper than traditional courses, but good online courses require significant financial resources and time, so whether the UC pilot program can succeed financially remains to be seen. Similarly priced

That kind of self-induced pressure can wear a girl down, and so for years I hated Twitter, the service that’s been suggested as a Nobel Peace Prize nominee and credited with everything from aiding the Green Revolution to rescuing an injured woman lost in the woods. I’m no social media Luddite, but I didn’t see a program that toppled regimes. I saw lots of people who love Justin Bieber too much.

Thankfully, I had Malcolm Gladwell on my side, in the guise of his muchdiscussed article “Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted.” Gladwell argues that activism of the revolution-rabbling, Arab Spring kind — in other words, real change — is high-risk and depends on networks of strong ties (your real friends). Sure, your Twitter followers will keep an eye out for your stolen iPhone, but they won’t be flanking you in front of a police squad.

Initially, this seemed about right.

But after spending a summer in Beijing, a few conversations with my language tutor made me realize that in other countries, Twitter-like services are more than their current trending topic (which, are, last time I checked, Latin Girl in Brazil and Demi Made Us Strong.)

Since Twitter is accessible only by proxy in China, there’s Weibo, which, my tutor said, is the real news source. In a country where the media is state-controlled and a woman was arrested for tweeting “Change, angry youth!,” eyewitnesses use Weibo to spread the word about everything that won’t be covered in the mainstream media. When Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Prize against the wishes of the Chinese government, all variations of his name were blocked by the censors. The Chinese turned to Twitter. In the U.S., citizens mostly leave the reporting to the papers, but in China, Twitter-like services help take the place of our free press.

Back in America, the service has been used to inaugurate a new kind of cyberactivism. Last year, feminist Sady Doyle launched a Twitter protest in response to director Michael Moore’s comments blaming the rape victim in the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s extradition. Doyle and her followers bombarded Moore with tweets, calling for him to retract his statement. She was harassed, her personal information made public and even stalked — but Moore listened, and he responded.

Digital evangelists heralding Twitter as a dictator-killer aren’t all correct, but neither are the people (read: myself) who hate Twitter mostly because they’re not so great at using it. Gladwell may be right that Twitter didn’t directly drive protesters to the streets of Cairo’s Tahrir Square, but as a new mode of communication, it could create a domino effect that may, eventually, turn to the real change he is so skeptical of seeing.

By ALEKS LEVIN • STAFF WRITER ventures have proven unfruitful in the past. Inside Higher Education described how the University of Illinois Global Campus “crashed and burned” in 2009 after it failed to attract a global audience — becoming a proverbial “cash cow.”

Though the University of California Office of the President has shown support by giving a $6.9-million interest-free loan to the project, private investors and grants have only contributed a single $748,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation — far short of an expected $6 million in private revenue.

There is also the question of whether students will be interested in UC online courses, considering the plethora of cheaper, readily available online classes in community colleges. According to Vice-Provost Daniel Greenstein, the program plans to pay back the UCOP loan and increase student interest by selling 5,000 of the 7,000 projected spots to out-of-state students and students in China. A heavy reliance on financial support from non-Californian students begs the question of whether this will be utilized for California students or will end up being just another budget stopgap.

Additionally, there was a poor show of support for an online program among UC faculty. Only 70 UC professors out of thousands submitted proposals by December 2010 to teach a course, even with a promise of $30,000 in development funds for each course. UC Davis law professor and Vice Chair of the statewide Academic Senate Dan Simmons questioned the notion that educational quality would remain uncompromising in the move to online education. Simmons flatly stated that, “People have created a set of expectations

QUICK TAKES

Racist Protest Crosses Satirical Line

Satire is Meant to Push Buttons

Speech is Free but Cupcakes Are Not

ollege Republicans at the University of California at Berkeley held an inherently racist bake sale last Tuesday, where priced baked goods were sold at different prices for different ethnicities. The primary purpose was to mock Senate Bill 185, a bill that would allow California’s university systems to consider gender, race and ethnicity in admission decisions. While the bill is undoubtedly contentious, the bake sale’s intended racism went over the top, muddling the organizer’s intended message of promoting critical thought.

SB 185’s attempt to increase diversity in California’s university systems is an obvious subject of debate. But simplifying the concept of affirmative action into a bake sale with differential pricing is not comparable to the issue at hand. The mission of SB 185 — which is surely debatable — is to make the student bodies of California state universities more representative of the state’s population in terms of gender, race and ethnicity — not to charge students varying tuition prices or to impose value judgments on others.

A cupcake is not an apt comparison to an entire university campus — the entire community benefits from a diverse peer group while the price of a dessert only affects one person.

Therefore, the bake sale seems to eliminate the most important aspect of the bill — it’s not about individuals.

There’s a thin line between comedy and bigotry when it comes to satire, and Berkeley’s College Republican Club crossed it with the bake sale.

— Arik Burakovsky Senior Staff Writer

olitical controversy is once more cooking up at UC Berkeley — this time as a result of a College Republican Club bake sale that offers discounted prices to women and minorities.

However, the group’s actions were not in poor taste — their primary motive was to satirize parts of Senate Bill 185.

SB 185 calls for the UC and CSU systems to consider race, gender, ethnicity, national origin and other relevant factors in their undergraduate and graduate admissions. If passed, the bill would create gray areas that arguably allow for abuse in admissions selectivity without liability.

The bill does not connect these factors to the college applicant’s socioeconomic status. In theory, it only authorizes the universities to use race alone as a factor. The cupcake prices — higher for Caucasians and lower for minorities — mock the bill’s intentions to demonstrate that race cannot be used in substitution for socioeconomic status.

President of Berkeley’s College Republicans, Shawn Lewis stated the group was aware that the public display was inherently racist. Their main point was that if everyone is to be treated as equals, scholarships and admission tickets should not be offered at different “prices” for different races.

It’s political satire, it’s button-pushing and it’s intentionally racist to drive a point home. If a group of college students can fashion a display that attracts notice within an endless stream of demonstrations, then it has succeeded in its purpose.

— Hilary Lee Staff Writer

C Berkeley College Republican Club recently held a satirical “Increase Diversity Bake Sale” to discourage the signing of Senate Bill 185, which supports the inclusion of race as a factor in the California college admissions process.

Baked goods were controversially sold to individuals at varying prices based on race and gender to illustrate the unfair nature of the bill.

Regardless of how radical and offensive the bake sale may have been, the club was still entitled to its first amendment right of free speech.

The Supreme Court has recognized that free speech rights may only be limited where speech “may cause a breach of the peace or cause violence.”

According to the Cal republican president and various participants, the bake sale was peaceful and stirred up discussion amongst students without leading to violence. These students had every right to legally voice their opinions and peacefully make a statement about the way the state functions.

Furthermore, protests of this nature are not uncommon on the UC Berkeley campus. The free speech movement was started at Berkeley nearly 5 decades ago featuring nearly 10,000 students and police car damage. The selling of baked goods pales in comparison to the security-filled protests of the university’s past.

This bake sale at UC Berkeley is justified purely on the basis of free speech and the media is simply over-publicizing insignificant news.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

It’s Time for an Educational Revolution

Hybrid Classes Worthy Alternative to Purely Online Classes ▶ ONLINE, from page 4

about the potential for online education that is not really there.” The UC system needs to win its faculty over with the program, lest it go the way of the Global Campus.

While these problems do exist, there is definite demand for online classes. Enrollment for online classes increased from 700,000 in 1998 to 5 million in 2007. On the other hand, the success rate for students in online courses is about 50 percent, while the success rate for face-to-face classes is 70- to- 75-percent. Reasons for the low success rate should be addressed by the Pilot Program, as should issues such as a lack of physical presence, accountability and even instructors.

Some of these issues are solved by hybrid classes, which use components of in-person and online classes and maintain steady success rates. Part of the reason for stability in hybrid courses is a face-to-face factor — students can attend office hours and interact in discussions.

To address the high failure rates, some professors such

as Associate Professor at Georgia Perimeter College Rob Jenkins believe that schools should put students through an online compatibility test before enrollment to see if they would work well under such an environment.

It is arguable that some majors are better suited for an online forum than others. For instance, science classes and classes in the humanities are markedly different in both structure and testing. While there have been technological measures created to combat cheating for papers in humanities classes, no one has fully taken on the challenge of addressing potential cheating on science and math-based exams. A lack of student oversight could be detrimental to the learning process and degrade the quality of instruction.

There is no denying the potential usefulness of an online component in education if done properly. All that remains to be seen is if the UC system is indeed able to address many concerns surrounding online education this coming January.

Dear Editor, We are in a revolutionary time.

Mass occupations in Tunisia and Egypt led to the fall of U.S.-supported decades-long dictators.

In nine months, these actions have swept through the Arab world to Europe to Madison and Wall Street and now. 117 other U.S. Cities, including 16 cities in California and back across the world to Tijuana, Tokyo and throughout Europe.

The fightback is global because the cutbacks are global.

Following an economic crisis that created the greatest transfer of wealth from the 99 percent to the richest 1 percent in history, UCSD students and working-class Americans are told we need to “share the cuts” or what the ruling class calls “austerity.”

Enough is enough! Make Wall Street pay for their crisis, not the students and workers! Let’s fight together this fall for future students, staff and ourselves!

Every Monday at 8 p.m. in SSB 101, UCSD’s Public Education Coalition will meet. We call on all community members, faculty, students, workers and their unions and organizations to join us.

We’re building solidarity for actions from Occupy San Diego on Oct. 7 to the International Day of Action Against Austerity on the 10th Anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan on Oct. 15 where people will take the streets to express outrage at how our rights are being undermined by the alliance between politicians and big corporations, and their commitment to make workers pay for their wars and the economic crisis they created.

The global fightback does not happen in a vacuum, so we combine

analysis, theory and history at our meetings and at a Nov. 12 Regional Conference on “Marxism and the Fight Against Austerity: Why the Working Class Can Change Society.”

As record numbers of Americans are struggling to find work, housing and healthcare, the largest corporations are experiencing record-breaking profits and CEOs are receiving record-breaking bonuses. As public education is slashed, the U.S. military has spent over 1.2 trillion in Iraq and Afghanistan, 3 billion is going annually to military aid for Israel and its illegal occupation of Palestine and predator drones (designed at UCSD with public subsidies) are being used to terrorize Pakistanis, Somalis, and a host of other countries, including U.S. citizens abroad.

All of this while the Regents has a multi-year plan for tuition increases that will have irreversible impact for the UC’s public mission.

Undergraduate and graduate tuition increased 67 percent since 2009, raising the price of a UC undergraduate education above $12,000. With the new plan, undergraduate tuition could reach $22,000 in 2016!

Both the California legislature and the UC Regents want to balance the budget. on the backs of students, instead of increasing the taxes on the rich and slashing the thick layers of high-paid UC administrators.

8pm AN EVENING WITH ABIGAIL WASHBURN The Loft

If American old-time music is about taking earlier, simpler ways of life and music-making as one's model, Abigail Washburn has proven herself to be a bracing revelation to that tradition. A singing, songwriting, Illinois-born, Nashville-based clawhammer banjo player, she is every bit as interested in the present and the future as she is in the past, and every bit as attuned to the global as she is to the local. She pairs venerable folk elements with far-flung sounds, and the results feel both strangely familiar and unlike anything anybody's ever heard before. To put it another way, she changes what seems possible. theloft.ucsd.edu

Tritons Split Conference Away Matches

Doubles Wins Regionals ▶ M. Tennis, from page 12

“He made some adjustments at the end to give himself a chance to win, but it was just a little too late.”

The championship pairing of West and Sousa have earned a spot at the ITA Small College National Championships, to take place Oct. 13-16 at the Copeland-Cox Tennis Center in Mobile, Alabama.

Willing says the pair will be working hard in preparation for the tournament.

“We go to Irvine for an invitation where we will be facing extremely high competition,” Willing said. “We will get in there and try and work on some specific things, and hopefully that tough competition and a couple weeks of practice will give us a little help before we get into the tournament.”

The men’s tennis team will return to the court this weekend, Friday Oct. 7 - Oct. 9, at the UC Irvine Invitational.

UCSD Finishes Ninth ▶M. Water polo, from page 12 already beaten UCSD twice this season.

The Tritons took a 2-0 lead into the second quarter, which they extended by recording four more goals in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter Loyola went on a 3-2 run, but with a five-point lead, the Tritons secured the win.

UCSD played its last game of the tournament against No. 9 UC Davis, narrowly defeating the Aggies 11-10.

In a back-and-forth contest, the Tritons went up 4-3 in the first quarter, while the two teams remained deadlocked at the end of the first half.

With four minutes remaining in the third quarter, sophomore Josh Stiling scored his second goal of the game to put the Tritons ahead 8-6, while senior William Brown put two more away before the end of the period to push the game to 10-8.

With one last push in the fourth quarter, UC Davis’ Russell Hampton scored two consecutive goals, but UCSD held onto the lead to take the game.

The Tritons take ninth place in the 16-team tournament for the second year in a row.

The women’s volleyball team beat bottom of the conference Humboldt State in straight sets, before dropping to top of the conference Sonoma State 3-1 on Saturday, Oct. 1.

T

he women’s volleyball team kicked off its road trip up north on Friday with a game against Humboldt State.

Despite suffering its first loss of the season against Chico State last week, UCSD rebounded against the Lumberjacks beating Humboldt in straight sets.

For the sixth time this season, UCSD held opponents to under a .100 attack percentage, with Humboldt — 5-8 overall and 2-7 in the CCAA — hitting a mere .065 for the match.

UCSD middles junior Julia Freidenberg and freshman Lauren Demos both had a hand in the success of the Triton defense, with four blocks combined in the game.

The Tritons recorded 44 kills, as well as only 15 errors in 116 attempts for the match.

Senior outside hitter Katie Condon totaled 10 kills, while senior setter Roxanne Brunsting achieved her eighth double-double of the season with 16 assists and 15 digs.

“I was pleased by the way we played,” head coach Ricci Luyties said. “We were definitely focused and ready to play that match, and I think we played pretty well.”

On Saturday, the Tritons were upset 3-1 by the Sonoma State Seawolves. The loss dropped the team to 10-2 overall and 6-2 in the CCAA, where UCSD sits in fourth place.

UCSD hit a paltry .162 — their secondlowest percentage of the season — while the Seawolves hit a .275, along with 59 kills and 17 errors in 153 attacks.

“The ball control, serving and passing was won by them, and that makes a big difference in volleyball,” said Luyties. “I think that was the main difference in the match.”

The Tritons began the match with a 0.31 hitting percentage, resulting in an easy set won 25-31 by the Seawolves.

The Tritons pulled closer but narrowly dropped the second set 25-23, and then took the third set 19-25. Although the Tritons

dug themselves out of the deficit by forcing the fourth set, the Seawolves put it away at 25-18.

Condon and Brunsting posted big numbers — with Condon picking up her fourth double-double of the season with 11 kills and 12 digs and Brunsting recording a match-high of 18 digs — though it wasn’t enough to pull out the win.

The Tritons come back home this Wednesday, Oct. 5 to face undefeated 13-0 Cal State San Bernardino at 7 p.m.

“We know that we have to keep working hard and that the games are all going to be tough, and every one we’re going to play in our conference is very good. We’re just trying to get better everyday, and I think if we do that we’ll be good,” said Luyties.

Doubles Down For Win By rachel uda • sports editor Photo by nolan thomas • Guardian file

The Triton doubles pair of Austin West and Devon Sousa won the ITA Regionals this weekend, while Triton Max Jiganti took second place in singles.

A

fter defeating the Grand Canyon duo of Stephan Murray and Patrice Giraldi 8-4 in the semifinal bout, the UCSD doubles team of Austin West and Devon Sousa took down the Grand Canyon pairing of Ahmed Saleem and Bastien Tonus 8-2 to win the regional championships at the USTA/Intercollegiate Tennis Association on Saturday, Oct. 1.

Three UCSD doubles teams and four singles competitors qualified for the ITA Regionals, beginning the tournament on Wednesday, Sept. 28.

In the first round of the tournament, the Triton doubles team of Andrew Malkozsak and Maxence Dutreix were defeated 8-4 by Sonoma’s David Hutton and Greg Eckstadt, while UCSD duo Max Jiganti and Trevor Dell had a stronger showing, beating Sonoma State pair Garret Gooch and Robert Henry 8-1.

Jiganti and Dell were met with UCSD opposition in the quarterfinals, dropping the game to West and Sousa 8-5 — the pair that would take the tournament championship after beating Grand Canyon doubles teams in the semifinal and final rounds.

“[West and Sousa] just played well,” assistant coach Timmer Willing said. “We had to play backto-back against two Grand Canyon teams that are very competitive and our guys just physically played really well and were mentally just up and ready for the challenge.”

In the singles competition, the Tritons did not fair as well.

Seven Tritons qualified for the second round of singles play but were whittled down to four by the quarterfinal round, until only sophomore Max Jiganti stood in the semifinals for UCSD. Jiganti faced off against Grand Canyon’s Ahmed Saleem in a hard-fought three-set battle, winning 6-2, 4-6 and 10-8.

In the same day, Jiganti defeated Stephan Murray of Grand Canyon in straight sets, 6-2 and 7-6, to take the semifinal win.

In the tournament decider Jiganti faced Brigham Young University-Hawaii’s Yevhen Zakharov, losing in straight sets. “[Jiganti] went down early, but was able to pull out the match against Grand Canyon and did the same thing against BYU in the finals,” said Willing.

Tritons Go 3-1, Take Home Ninth Place Finish T he No. 12 UCSD men’s water polo team went away with a record 3-1 in this weekend’s SoCal Tournament, hosted by Cal State Long Beach, finishing ninth in the 16-team tournament.

The Tritons began the tournament on Saturday against UC Santa Barbara. The No. 8 Gauchos rolled off the first five goals in the match before the Tritons could muster a response. With three minutes remaining, UCSD managed to take two back before the end of the period. At the start of the second the Gauchos scored another two quick goals, but the Tritons put away two more to keep the match within four after the first half.

To start the second half, senior Graham Saber scored his fourth goal to bring the Tritons to within three, but it was the closest the Tritons would come, as the Gauchos scored the next two and held control of the game for the remainder of the quarter.

Senior Lance Curtiss scored a goal in the final quarter with just over seven minutes remaining, with the game ending 14-8 in favor of the Gauchos.

After dropping its opening match, UCSD fell into the loser’s bracket of the SoCal Tournament.

In their second match, the Tritons squared off against Air Force Academy, a team that the Tritons have already defeated 9-4 at home earlier in the year.

The Tritons stormed out to a 2-0 lead, but UCSD gave up five of the next six goals and were looking at a 5-3 deficit early in the game.

The Tritons managed to dig themselves out of the hole to tie the game at 7-7 at halftime. Air Force took a two-goal lead with a quarter left to play.

With the clock winding down, Saber scored.

The goal brought the Tritons to within one, as they mounted their comeback. With 50 seconds left junior John Butler scored to tie the match. 50 seconds later, with just five seconds left to play, Saber scored his fourth goal of the quarter to take the game.

In the second day of the tournament, the Tritons faced No. 11 Loyola Marymount – a squad that had See m. Water polo, page 11
