C President Janet Napolitano and Gov. Jerry Brown attended a two-day climate summit at UCSD that began last Monday and ended on Tuesday.

Researchers from across the University of California comprised the UC Climate Solutions group and collectively presented 10 methods to achieve carbon neutrality.

The panelists at the summit emphasized the need to act in order to prevent an overall increase in the global temperature of two degrees Celsius by 2050; this would result in an increased frequency and intensity of the symptoms of climate change, such as floods, heat waves, droughts, drinking water contaminants and food shortages. In addition, the 10 solutions presented could all be implemented immediately to support a full transition to carbon neutrality.

UCSD’s Sustainability Manager Sara McKinstry said she hopes that the comprehensive approach proposed at the summit will inspire people from different institutions and disciplines to work together to fight climate change.

“The solutions presented in the ‘Bending the Curve’

report cover everything from policy recommendations to economic incentives to new technologies to communications. We need that kind of comprehensive approach to deal with climate disruption,” McKinstry told the UCSD Guardian. “We brought people together across campuses, institutions, corporations and disciplines, and the hope is that people will be inspired to continue those kinds of cross-collaborations.”

The report covered both short and long-term solutions to become carbon neutral by 2025 and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Dr. Jane Teranes, Associate Director and Lecturer at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, said that keeping time constraints in mind will be beneficial for the people in the future.

“A lot of times in the media we focus on carbon dioxide emissions but there are other greenhouse gases — methane and black carbon — that are much easier politically to reduce,” Teranes told the UCSD Guardian.

“I liked how the report brought our attention to some easy projects upfront while still emphasizing that CO2 emissions have to be reduced globally. Having some

O’Shaughnessy said who was Ride’s life partner. “Immediately after I became CEO [about 2 years ago], I began talking to business leaders and a few nonprofits about a merger or an acquisition. About six months ago, the idea of UCSD came to mind … [and] it just seemed like a match made in heaven.”

Director of UCSD K-16 Programs and Assistant Dean for Community Engagement and Director, PreCollegiate and Career Preparation Programs Edward Abeyta told the Guardian the goals for UCSD Extension in relation to the new partnership mirror those of Sally Ride Science.

the little pink pill

The UCSD Faculty Club hosted a discussion on the legacy of Jonas Salk, inventor of the polio vaccine and founder of the Salk Institute, last Friday to commemorate the opening of the new exhibition featuring Salk’s personal documents at Geisel Library. Two of Salk’s three sons, Jonathan and Peter Salk, participated along with UCSD’s Associate Vice Chancellor of Public Programs Mary Walshok and the San Diego Union-Tribune’s science editor Gary Robbins.

The conversation, mediated by Robbins, touched on many facets of Salk’s life work and belief systems.

Robbins began the talk with a scenario describing the deadly grip that polio once had on the American consciousness 75 years ago.

“If there had been an outbreak of polio in some communities, trains would actually not stop in those towns,” Robbins said. “People were so afraid of being infected … that people stopped hugging, shaking hands … [That fear] permeated American culture, and did so for a long, long time.”

Jonas Salk removed those fears in 1955 when he and his team announced their discovery of an effective polio vaccine.

The conversation quickly moved away from Salk’s well-known triumph against polio, focusing more on his unique philosophy and how those values were incorporated into the founding of his eponymous institute.

Peter Salk described his father as a “bio-philosopher” who attempted to transcribe his thoughts on paper through a series of books and multiple dissertations.

“He wasn’t just a scientist in the sense of doing experiments … he was always thinking about the deep meaning of life, of existence and of the interactions of people,” Peter explained. “He would look to nature to give the indication as to how things function … how things move us.”

According to Peter Salk, his father attempted to instill those beliefs into a center of learning when he founded the Salk Institute, a task fraught with funding issues.

The March of Dimes foundation, originally dedicated to the eradication of polio, provided initial funding for Salk’s dream institution but quickly ran out of resources for the project.

“What he was talking about was gathering a group of people who would [not only] be highly skilled in science, but [also] be ‘broad’ people,” Peter Salk explained. “His anticipation was that as time went

UC San Diego Partners with Sally Ride Science The partnership aims to make STEM education more accessible to minority groups.

BY Julie Yip Contributing WritER

Sally Ride Science, the scientific, technological, engineering and medical education-focused San Diego corporation co-founded by the first American woman in space, became official partners with UCSD Extension, Scripps Institute of Oceanography and the San Diego Supercomputer Center on Oct. 1.

Dr. Karen Flammer, co-founder and Director of Education for Sally Ride Science and the SDSC, explained to the UCSD Guardian that the company was created with the goal of making STEM education more inclusive for adolescents, targeting

the lesser-represented females as well as young people of color and from underprivileged areas.

“Our mission and focus has always been to widen the pipeline [and] get more students, more diversity and more girls in STEM,” Flammer said. “We’ve always targeted upper-elementary and middle school-grade students.”

Co-founder and current CEO of the company Tam O’Shaughnessy described to the Guardian how what she called a “perfect partner[ship]” was born.

“We decided we wanted to find a good parent company that would help us grow and also bring in fresh insight and brain [power],”

Sally Ride Science Plans to Establish Outreach Projects for Women and People of Color ▶ RIDE, from page 1

“One [goal] is to honor Sally Ride, foremost in our overall objective because she [supported] women in general,” Abeyta said. “She was [the] first female and youngest American astronaut to go into space. [Our] second goal is to deliver and sustain a program model with Sally Ride Science. We want to inspire teachers and create the next generation of learners and girls, provide educational access to other teachers and communities … and have … a model we can showcase globally.”

Working with UCSD will not alter the company’s goals, but profits from the books and guides developed through the partnership will go to the university, according to O’Shaughnessy.

“Basically, UCSD has acquired the assets of Sally Ride Science,” O’Shaughnessy said. “What we have created over the years is around

IN BRIEF

100 science books and career books for kids in elementary and middle school. We also created comprehensive teacher guides that go with the books [in addition to] teacher training. So we have curriculum to engage girls and boys in science and math — how to make it interesting and inspiring, how to teach it based on current research.

Everything we’ve created and that we’re so proud of now belongs to UCSD.” Flammer and O’Shaughnessy discussed the importance of having outreach programs for underrepresented adolescents beyond the opportunities the company is trying to equalize as technical jobs increase into the future.

“There are not enough students right now graduating with STEM backgrounds to fill the protected jobs out there,” Flammer noted.

“Engineering companies, tech companies — they know there will be an increase in technical jobs.

There aren’t enough students in this country to fill them. Get the underrepresented minorities filled, get young girls in science.”

O’Shaughnessy explained that the demand of the job market is consistent with the disparity of gender, background and more.

“In engineering, computer science and physics, there are still way too few women and people of color involved,” O’Shaughnessy said. “What the research shows is that it’s mostly a cultural phenomenon. There is a lack of encouraging girls and people of color to be involved to be in [STEM].

I think working with our partners at UCSD, we can continue to change perceptions of who makes a good scientist and a computer scientist and an engineer. It can be anybody.”

To support this belief, Sally Ride Science has plans to collaborate with UCTV and an event with SDSC celebrating professional women

in STEM. Future projects include incorporating UCSD students into outreach programs with young girls and people of color.

O’Shaughnessy is hopeful for the future and expects such events to have results in line with what her lifelong partner Sally Ride fought to achieve before her passing in 2012.

“All kids deserve to be scientifically literate, tech literate, math literate because the jobs out there today and especially in the future demand a solid background in those areas,” O’Shaughnessy said.

“We really, as a society, want to make sure kids are prepared to have a good future. And of course, math and science are very involved in innovation. We want to make sure as a country, we’re always innovating, always doing good things.”

UC Office of the President Announces Plan to Enroll 5,000 Additional California Residents Next Academic Year UC President Janet Napolitano announced last week that the university will enroll 5,000 more Californian students next school year. Napolitano did not reveal the details of her plan but she told the LA Times it is “a really good plan” that she will discuss at this month’s UC Regents meeting.

If implemented, the State Legislature will grant the university $25 million in additional funding, as stipulated in its budget. Speaker of the California State Assembly Tony Atkins expressed her support for Napolitano’s plan for action.

“When the Assembly conducted our in-depth review of the University of California this year, it was clear that the university can and should do a better job fulfilling its mission to educate California students,” Atkins said in an Oct. 22 press release. “President Napolitano’s comments suggest [University of California] has accepted this challenge.”

A.S. Vice President of External Affairs Krystl Fabella told the UCSD

Guardian that she doesn’t believe this plan is realistic. Though she doesn’t dissent to the idea of enrolling more students from California, Fabella stated that the university currently doesn’t have the infrastructure to support 5,000 more students.

“It’s not just new dorm beds and classes that would need to be factored in,” Fabella told the Guardian. “It’s literally everything that will be aggravated even more with the enrollment: student-to-teacher ratio, overwhelmed TAs, housing, parking, etc. This will prove to be way more costly, with all the elements that would go into it.”

Furthermore, Fabella argued that the university should offset the increase in in-state enrollment with a decrease in out-of-state enrollment.

The UC Regents will convene to discuss and consider the Napolitano’s at UC San Francisco - Mission Bay on Nov. 18.

short-term solutions like targeting methane and black carbon while we try and figure out a way to target the longer term CO2 emissions is a great approach.”

Kate Moser, media specialist for the UC Office of the President, commented on how the drought has had deleterious effects on California agriculture and farmers.

“I was managing my family’s farm before I came to UCOP, and as a farmer I was witnessing firsthand what many of us are with the implications of the drought,” Moser told the Guardian. “I can see the implications of climate change and its impact on California agriculture and what that might mean for the future of family farms and California.”

Teranes also described how the University’s efforts to reduce the negative impact of climate change will affect future generations.

“Dealing with symptoms associated with climate change is one of the greatest challenges right now and it’s interesting because it has generational consequences, so what we do right now matters,”

Terranes said. “There is also a social justice implication since a lot of the countries that emit most of the greenhouse gasses aren’t necessarily the populations that are going to suffer the most serious consequences. Our country and other countries in the developed world have a responsibility to do something about it.”

In addition, Moser discussed the urgency of the environmental situation and how it is imperative that UCOP take action.

“The injustice of climate change is something that Napolitano has said, too — the implications of climate change are so severe it’s become a moral imperative to try and take action,” Moser said. “That’s why the summit and things like the Cool Campus Challenge that is going on right now on all of our campuses are helpful — they get people to take actions in their own lives and try to do something collectively to solve this problem.”

McKinstry added that students have significantly more power than they realize when it comes to changing the world.

“Students are our future voters, leaders, entrepreneurs and parents,”

McKinstry said. “Without students pushing for change, researching green technologies or doing things as simple as signing up for the Cool Campus Challenge to pledge to take action to lower their carbon footprints, we won’t successfully fight climate disruption.”

Teranes believes that the interdisciplinary studies UCSD students focus on will play a pivotal role in solving climate change in the near future.

“UCSD has produced a lot of interdisciplinary scientists, faculty and students and a lot of challenges in solving climate change lie now in what to do about it,” Teranes said.

“For that I see an increase in need for interdisciplinary problem solvers.”

The solutions were published in the “Bending the Curve” report which aims to reduce the carbon footprint of the world’s wealthiest one billion people. Additionally, this collaborative research will be brought to the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference that will be held in Paris later this month.

on, the institute would also be dealing with problems that arise from man’s relationship to man.”

Jonas Salk was eventually successful in acquiring a location after Roger Revelle, the founder of UCSD, offered Salk a plot of land that the San Diego city council had originally offered UCSD. Walshok said that Salk’s success also came in part from his ability to

rally others around his vision for the Salk Institute.

“He had that quality of making connections with people from all walks of life,” Walshok said. “Twothirds of [San Diego’s] citizens voted [in 1959] to give the 27 acres to the Salk Institute. That is amazing.”

UCSD graduate student and Thurgood Marshall College alumnus Rishan Silva said he felt the hourlong discussion “barely scratched the surface” of Salk’s endeavors.

“I knew the name [and] I knew the Salk Institute,” Silva told the Guardian. “But it felt like a sentence from each chapter of his life. There’s definitely a lot more depth. I’m going to eventually read his biography because it’s in my head now.”

Salk’s papers will be on exhibition at Geisel Library until Dec. 12.

Female Viagra ILLUSTRATION BY ELYSE YANG

After the FDA approved Flibanserin, a drug designed to increase women’s libidos, it became clear that society considers a woman without sexual desire to be broken and in need of fixing.

By HAILEY SANDEN Senior Yet another drug designed to treat sexual dysfunction hit the market a few weeks ago: Flibanserin, aka “Female Viagra.” There are 17 different drugs currently being produced to treat erectile disfunction, but with this new drug, it seems the pharmaceutical industry has finally cast its eyes over the female libido. That’s right, ladies, Flibanserin aims to treat women’s — not men’s — sexual dysfunction. Heralded as “The Female Viagra,” some believe Flibanserin is an important solution to a real problem and gives women the attention they’ve previously been denied.

But will “the little pink pill” — named in a not-so-subtle appeal to our abstract concept of “femininity” — open doors for a formerly sexually repressed group of women, or will it do more harm than good? Female sexual liberation may have come in the form of a pill with the advent of birth control in the ‘60s, but I think it’s safe to say that this pill does not have the same or even similar “liberating” qualities. In truth, the drug raises a variety of questions that are deeply mired in the complicated world of institutionalized sexism Conceptually, “Female Viagra” sends a somewhat nuanced and certainly complex message. On a positive note, it shifts the focus in the bedroom away from the notion that sex is an act geared primarily toward

achieving male pleasure. It says, “Hey, women have a sex drive too, and our sexual satisfaction is just as important as any other man’s.” On the other hand, it feeds into an already hypersexualized culture. A culture that, in one extreme, tells women having too much sex makes them a whore and, in the other extreme, inundates them with details on how to be sexier, how to give the greatest blowjob, how to get bigger breasts and a firmer butt. In short: How To Be The Perfect Sex Object.

In a sense, this drug is also suggesting that if you’re not feeling it, there’s probably something wrong with you. You don’t only need a sexy body, you also need a sexy mind. This is, in fact, exactly what the drug intends to achieve. Rather than treating an actual, physical dysfunction, it aims to treat an assumed mental/psychological “dysfunction.” In this way, Flibanserin is really nothing like Viagra at all. The BBC explains that “while a Viagra pill treats erectile dysfunction by improving blood flow to the penis, Flibanserin was developed as an antidepressant and boosts sexual desire by balancing chemicals in the brain.”

But what exactly is the dysfunction Flibanserin is medicating? Well, the FDA approved it to treat acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental

QUICK TAKES Police Must Take Responsibility For the Public’s Dissatisfaction When, according to a Gallup poll, almost half of the U.S. population mistrusts the police’s ability to enforce laws appropriately, one director voicing his negative opinions at a rally is irrelevant. This recent boycott by the NYPD and LAPD of their negative portrayal in the media is just a pathetic attempt to salvage their pride and does nothing to take actual responsibility for their public reputation.

The L.A. Police Protective League president’s remark to Entertainment Weekly magazine about how Quentin Tarantino “took irresponsibility to a new and completely unacceptable level” is laughably ironic when so little is being done to fix police methods of law enforcement. Instead of addressing the public’s concerns about racial profiling and increased militarism, the police resort to dismissing these perceptions.

With new videos being posted on social media every week showing overwhelming police brutality against people of color, local and federal institutions need to start facing the facts. The UK Guardian conducted a study showing that black Americans are more than twice as likely to be killed when unarmed than white Americans. In contrast, the Huffington Post reported that the instances of deadly violence against police are at an almost record low this year, despite the rise in “anti-cop rhetoric.”

The victims in this issue aren’t the police but the unarmed people being killed by them. Instead of crying over the tiny scratch on their image from Quentin Tarantino’s opinions, the police need to tend to the gaping wounds caused by institutional racism, sexism and classism.

— SOPHIE OSBORN Contributing Writer

IN THE AFTERMATH OF A PROTEST AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY IN WHICH FILM DIRECTOR QUENTIN TARANTINO VOCALLY PARTICIPATED, THE LAPD AND NYPD RESPONDED WITH A BOYCOTT ON HIS FILMS.

Media Boycott Promotes Culture of Silence Instead of Reform Recently, the NYPD called for the boycott of Quentin Tarantino’s films due to comments he made at a rally against police brutality, as the UK Guardian reported. The police have no right to censor negative press regarding their policies or their actions, especially when these criticisms are firmly grounded in reality. The attempt by police departments to usher in a culture of silence won’t solve the root causes of these criticisms but will instead generate more negative press for the police. Instead of attempting to silence the community, the police should be attempting to find solutions to prevent further abuses of police power.

But who can keep the police accountable?

We do, through smartphones and social media and other links that connect the police to the community. In order to improve their public image, police must be trained to reduce the number of violent encounters. A method of punishing police brutality must be established.

Body cameras are another potential solution, as they provide constant footage of the officer’s interactions with the community.

Despite a myriad of solutions to attempt to solve the issues of police brutality, most won’t see the light of day. The Washington Times cited a 2013 study by the National Criminal Justice Association that “found that Justice Department grants to local police forces had dropped 43 percent since 2010” — hardly the improvement to train violent and aggressive officers to opt for more peaceful encounters. For now, the best we can do is use the pressure of media to compel police departments to prevent future instances of abuse.

— ALEXANDER CHEN Contributing Writer

Police Are Often Frustrated with Unfair Depictions in the Media When action-film director Quentin Tarantino criticized police brutality, some police departments responded with a media boycott.

It is an undeniable fact that police brutality is a serious issue that all Americans need to face.

However, the media often sensationalizes a few isolated moments of police brutality into an allencompassing anti-police rhetoric that fails to accurately reflect the police as a whole.

Tarantino’s claims fall in line with the antipolice brutality movement. When people rant about police brutality statistics, they are hailed for assertively protesting against the corruption in government. According to the FBI, however, in 2012 the crime rate among African-Americans is disproportionately high for its population size, representing a little over 30 percent of crime in the U.S. This dismisses the notion that it’s society or the police’s fault for marginalizing minority groups. The contradiction of decrying racial profiling while at the same time criminalizing cops is overlooked if not scorned. Too often people forget that cops aren’t mindless drones or machines of violence. Most aren’t murderers.

Cops have emotions and make mistakes because in the end they are normal people.

But we don’t see cops doing their jobs. We don’t hear about cops saving two lives in one day like Nathan Ernst did. Those stories don’t make national headlines, and they certainly don’t impassion thousand-person marches brimming with righteous fury. Unfortunately, cops are often viewed as faceless authority figures to be railed against, ignoring the fact that most of them are simply doing their best with a difficult job.

’ll sleep when I die. This wise proverb, once said by an anonymous but deeply admired college student, has become an almost legendary folklore among the UCSD student population. With all of our profound ambitions and intense responsibilities — school, work, exercise, parents, friends, sex life, reality TV — we are often left with no choice but to ignore some of our more practical needs. We all know that finding time to sleep is no easy task in college. Sleep is one of those commonly neglected but fondly thought of practices that college students can only dream of.

With noisy, alcoholic suitemates, it can seem nearly impossible to sleep.

However, as young, fledgling adults, it is vital to our development that we maintain regular sleep cycles. With this handy-dandy how-to guide, you’ll never wear four-inch deep, gray bags below your eyes again.

Step 1: Take your alarm clock and chuck it out the window.

Forget daylight savings. It’s time to start flowing on your own unique schedule. Line your windows with thick velvet curtains to shut out those pesky rays of sunlight reminding you when daytime has struck. Now you can begin to take your life back.

Step 2: Skip your 8 a.m. classes.

Look, we get it. You’re on a tight four-year schedule, and you have to bust through all those major requirements with five classes a quarter. The best option is to listen to your professor’s podcast before you go to sleep each night. The quiet, monotonous voice of your professor will ensure you fall asleep in fewer than 30 seconds. You’ll absorb the entire lecture seamlessly, while catching up on a well-deserved night of sleep.

Step 3: Loosen your strict class requirements by attending lectures in a soft-focus sleepy state-of-mind, casually dressed in your onesie pajamas. When in your bedroom, only use the bed for studying so there is a direct correlation in your mental psyche between studying and sleep.

This association will allow you to immediately fall into a deep state of unconsciousness that mixes rapid eye movement with learning. Even if you don’t end up with straight As in your GPA, you’ll have a hell of a good time dreaming about it.

Step 4: Have a noisy roommate?

People will tell you to wear earplugs, but don’t waste your time with those rubbery, uncomfortable devices.

It’s much more effective to place a thick blanket over your roommate’s snoring mouth after he or she falls asleep. Better yet, wait for them to go out to a party and change the lock on your apartment door. They’ll thank you, after they learn to live somewhere else.

If none of these tips have impressed upon you the ardent need to change your sleepless lifestyle, perhaps it is time to hold that need for sleep until you die. In the meantime, begin to consume coffee religiously. Forget Starbucks and corporations, and don’t accept any of that automatic, insta-coffee crap.

Ditch the bars and save your shot glasses for pure espresso.

DID WE STRIKE A NERVE?

Flibanserin, aka the “Little Pink Pill” Treats a Socially Constructed Disorder ▶ LIBIDO PILL, from page 4

Disorders, however, has combined female HSDD — the disorder that Flibanserin claims to treat — and female arousal dysfunction into a single syndrome called sexual interest/ arousal disorder. The DSM-V also suggests that treatment of sexual interest/arousal disorder “should begin with patient education, as women often have no expectation of what is ‘normal’ or how to express themselves.” It further explains that it “is a complex and hardly understood condition … [and] may be caused by a multiplicity of biological, social, psychological, environmental and

hormonal factors.”

In short, the disorder the little pink pill is prescribed for might not even be medically treatable, depending on the specific case. It’s also relevant to note that Flibanserin was previously rejected twice by the FDA, due to a concern with side effects, including nausea and dizziness.

Clinical trials of the drug reported only one more enhanced sexual experience per month for women taking the pill compared to those in the placebo group, according to The New York Times. So, it seems what we’re really looking at here is more of a manipulation of the public by the drug-pushing pharmaceutical

industries. This time, they were able to finagle a fabricated feminist issue to line their pockets with cash. It would be a wasted opportunity not to, seeing as how profitable Viagra has been.

As Rebecca Holliman writes in her U.S. News article, “Fixing women for profit is popular. Women are expected to be impossibly thin (we have a pill for that) and should have physicsdefying large-yet-perky breasts (we have surgery for that). Now we should also feel sexy constantly.” Indeed, Flibanserin is not really a move toward female empowerment but rather an inept medical quick-fix to a problem that is in many ways as social as it is physiological.

UCSD Guardian Travel Guide: Study Abroad Looking at a map of Earth, at the innumerable cities and countries, and then deciding to study abroad is daunting. Figuring out how to fund your travels, get course credit and live in an unfamiliar country is nearly overwhelming. The UCSD Guardian gives the rundown on popular countries and programs to help with your search for the perfect location. Your adventure starts here.

Education Abroad Program

Global Seminars

With more than 380 programs in 40 countries, the Education Abroad Program is a University of California system that assists undergraduate and graduate students with planning trips abroad through advising and financial aid. The advisors at EAP guarantee that students interested in studying abroad will have the chance to do it, love it and learn from it. David Bernstein, a Peer Educator for the Study Abroad program at UCSD, recommends that students take the initiative in going abroad.

“Study abroad gives you a totally new perspective outside of UCSD. You have endless possibilities of things you can learn about, new experiences you can have, new people you can meet,” Bernstein said. “It’s just something new, something different. If that’s what you’re into, then I can’t recommend it enough.”

EAP does its utmost to ensure that students will be able to go without too much financial strain. If students are a part of the EAP, they are still eligible for the financial aid that was already being provided for them, and students who did not originally qualify for financial aid may be when studying abroad. The EAP and other programs, such as the Friends of the International Center, also offer scholarships to students.

Students who decide to study abroad have a number of choices when deciding what kind of program to choose. They can go abroad to take classes for their major, participate in internships or contribute to research projects in a specific area of study. In every program, students can gain experience abroad they could not anywhere else. “[Something students can’t gain while studying at UCSD] would be the opportunities to travel, experiencing the place where you study abroad and the places around it you can travel to,” Bernstein said. “[You can] learn about new cultures and meet different people with different perspectives, different ideas from your own.”

Need to do a summer session but want a change of scenery from UCSD? Consider doing a Global Seminar. Hosted for five weeks every summer, Global Seminars consist of two courses taught by UCSD faculty.

The courses offered during Global Seminars are UCSD classes, but they are taught much differently than their San Diego equivalents.

“Part of it is in class, but the other part is going on excursions and actually seeing things, and that’s incorporated into the classes,” Bryanna Insley from the Study Abroad Office told the UCSD Guardian.

Unlike EAP, where the courses taken simply count for transfer credits, Global Seminars courses are taken directly for UC credits, since they are taught by UCSD faculty.

However, be prepared to compete in the application process; although applications are open from November 1st to March 1st, only 15 to 28 students are accepted for each seminar, and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Those who are accepted, of course, have an excellent opportunity to interact one-on-one with their professor, as well as bond with fellow students.

Usually Global Seminars offers courses in 10 different countries every summer, with 15 programs in total. In 2016, courses will be offered in Quito, Ecuador; Paris, France and Tokyo, Japan.

Attending a Global Seminar generally costs between $4,000 and $6,000, though much of this cost can be covered through scholarships. Eleanor Roosevelt College, for instance, provides scholarships for those going abroad for MMW 15, one of the college’s general education requirements.

Instead of choosing between a summer session and a summer vacation, take a Global Seminar and do both.

England - London

France - Paris

England has always been a haven for academics, a portrait of scholars hurrying through the streets of Oxford or Cambridge to announce groundbreaking discoveries in local pubs. So, it would make sense then to study abroad in a culture that holds the same — if not more — opportunities for eager students that it’s held for intellectuals throughout history.

UCSD currently offers a Global Seminar, “Pirates in Britain,” that fulfills two courses: “HILD 2AGS: Survey of Early American History” and “HIUS 133GS: The Golden Age of Piracy.” The course spans the length of Summer Session II, offering a brief but intensive immersion in a culture sure to offer more than iconic clock towers and red telephone booths. However, studying in England doesn’t limit you to London. Immerse yourself in university life in cities like Bristol or Manchester via a personalized UCEAP program and easily explore the country by train or coach. England’s advanced transit system allows for convenient, affordable travel, transforming quick study breaks into opportunities for rich cultural experiences. You don’t have to learn a new language to appreciate what England has to offer — simply grab your umbrella and start sightseeing.

Obviously, France is an appealing location to be in a study abroad program — but not just because it and its capital have been cultural epicenters of the Western world for hundreds of years. The Opportunities Abroad Program offers several ways to stay in France, but the one that offers the most opportunities is through the Council on International Education Exchange. Its French programs are all homestay, and the GPA requirement for getting in isn’t particularly stringent at 2.75 minimum. The relative lack of rigor should also leave some time to explore, since Paris has the Louvre, the catacombs and countless other sights, while locations in more rural parts of France have castles, wineries and hiking.

The campus that might appeal most to STEM majors would be Toulouse Business School, which is located in the European center for aerospace engineering. It’s also the only location that doesn’t require any prior knowledge of French. French programs usually favor arts and humanities majors, and the Paris and Rennes programs especially cater to this. Studying the French language is central to their curricula, especially in Paris, so prior knowledge of the language is essential. If you do choose to apply, bon chance and have fun.

Australia - Sydney

Thailand - Bangkok

If you can’t choose between the city life and living with nature, instead have both by taking a safari trip to make friends with a kangaroo and enjoying the world-famous Sydney Opera House in one of Australia’s largest cities the next day. Anything you could want, Australia has. As an island country surrounded on all sides by the ocean, Australia offers all possible beach activities and a multitude of outback adventures at the same time — you won’t miss La Jolla. One will never tire of meeting the citizens of the diverse country of Australia.

This year, students have the option of studying at schools such as the University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales. Students can focus on their specific field of study, such as ecological studies, studio art or Asia-Pacific regional studies. Additionally, programs such as Pacific Island Environmental and Community Health allow students who are interested in research to gain hands-on experience. The Marine Biology and Terrestrial Ecology program at the University of Queensland’s School of Biological Sciences gives students the chance to work in first-rate labs and study natural areas such as the Great Barrier Reef, the largest living organism in the world.

Since the majority of Australian citizens speak English, students will find it easier to associate with native Australians and form global relationships. For opportunities to visit and study internationally recognized biologic sites, encounter a kangaroo and be exposed to new perspectives and cultures, Australia is a must-visit destination.

A country featuring Buddhist temples, great beaches and fantastic culture, Thailand is “a land of smiles.” You can find thick jungles, clear blue waters and mouthwatering food. From traditional Buddhist festivals such as Wisakha Bucha, commemorating the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha, to sights such as The Grand Palace, saying that there is “not much to do” would be an egregious understatement.

The Thai language may be difficult to master; while most Thai people speak English, many of the locals recommend trying to learn a new language.

Students can take classes taught in English such as business administration, economics, international relations and more at Thammasat University through EAP. In addition, classes in population and health issues of the Thai-Burma border are offered for those interested in the public health field. There, you can find everything from the Krabi province, one of the most famous beach destinations in the country, to the bustling city of Bangkok; you will find beautiful temples and incredible food during the fall or spring terms of your study. Thailand is the place for students who are both nature lovers and urban dwellers alike.

Perspective from Across the Pond

by Sam Thoburn// Guest Writer

I

come from near London, England, and I studied abroad last year at UCSD. It may seem strange, but there are those to whom even the idea of San Diego seems impossibly exotic, and the prospect of actually living there is nothing short of ideal. It did not take long after I landed, though, to find that life in California is, more or less, as turbulent as it is anywhere else. I lived off campus — against my will — in a dark Trieste apartment, and for the first three weeks in September and October I slept on the floor. This was, perhaps not surprisingly, my lowest point. But from the moment I won a mattress on a coin toss — literally — to the day I flew home in July, my time at UCSD was the best I have ever spent. It gave me a taste of how good life can be and one that I will forever be trying to regain.

I didn’t know what a burrito was before I left for California; now, I lament that we don’t yet have a Chipotle in my hometown. I had no idea of the friendliness I would encounter from just about everyone I met in America; I look for the same happiness in strangers on the London Underground, and I don’t find it. It may be that you take the things you love about UCSD for granted, but I implore you not to do so. Those are the things that, as I sit here in England, I still can’t get out of my mind.

If you are reading this on campus, I am writing to you from more than 5,000 miles away. I think that is an almost unthinkably wonderful connection, and it is made possible by one of the UCSD institutions that made my time studying abroad so fulfilling: it’s a free, studentrun newspaper. The Guardian is yet another thing that we should appreciate while we can, and while it’s truly ours.

I have recommended studying abroad to everybody who will listen to me here at home, and in doing so I have tried to keep my own experience alive for as long as I can.

Find Your Destination: Mexico - Mexico City If you thought the Mexican food in San Diego was something to boast about, wait until you try the Mexican food in Mexico.

Mexico City prides itself as being one of the largest economically metropolitan areas in the world and has become one of the most prominent cultural hubs in the Americas. The city showcases 13th-century Aztec temples, collections of museums that play host to world-class international art exhibits and, of course, the cuisine. It is known for having some of the freshest seafood in Mexico. Despite being fairly inland from the coast, it is home to the second-largest seafood market after Japan.

Students choosing to study abroad in Mexico will be given the opportunity to attend the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the largest and most-recognized university in Latin America. Alternatively, students have the opportunity of taking part in a Global Seminar, conducting field research or completing needed coursework. Whether you choose to go for the fall, spring, summer or year-long programs, the culture and diversity of Mexico City will make you wish you didn’t have to leave.

Turkey - Istanbul If you’re in search of rich history, mouth-watering food selections and a city skyline that’s bound to make your jaw drop, then Turkey is the place for you. Bogazici University, located in Istanbul, is considered one of the best universities in the entire country and is located in one of the most beautiful cities in all of Europe and Western Asia. The university offers an array of courses in the arts and sciences, as well as a Turkish language course for UCEAP students. The city truly comes to life where it straddles the Bosphorus strait, a channel of water just under two miles wide that separates Europe and Asia. It is surrounded by palaces on the water’s edge, delicious food on every corner and an abundance of architecture spanning from structures built under the Byzantine Empire to more contemporary buildings, such as the Istanbul Modern Art Museum and the Bosphorus Bridge. Being idle in the city isn’t an issue most people encounter. There’s a good chance you’ll be overwhelmed by the beauty of this remarkable city which tends to happen to most who visit.

South Africa - Cape Town Want to go abroad, but don’t feel comfortable speaking a foreign language? Cape Town, South Africa is the place for you.

Situated at the southern tip of Africa, Cape Town is a mostly English-speaking city, although the locals speak Afrikaans.

Though many Americans know about the Apartheid era, when the country was gripped by racial discrimination, few know about the new South Africa, a country defined by its multi-ethnic heritage.

“Cape Town is a cosmopolitan city in which you can eat Thai food one day and an ostrich steak the next,” said ERC junior Sean Pfeiffer, who travelled to Cape Town in Summer 2015.

To experience history, visit Robben Island, the site of Nelson Mandela’s imprisonment. Outside of the city, go on a Safari and see all of the African wildlife you’ve only seen in zoos.

Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate that is similar to that of San Diego. Being in the southern hemisphere, South Africa experiences its winter during our summer months, so be sure to pack for cooler weather.

This coming spring quarter, students can study at the University of Cape Town with EAP. The university focuses on providing an international education in humanities, commerce, health sciences and engineering.

Greece - Athens Classical sculptures. Volcanic sand and clear blue waters. Archeological structures. Mediterranean cuisine. If any of these words attract you, then Greece may be the perfect place for you. While its economic reputation has been declining, the country is still a premier destination for tourists. The culture has evolved over thousands of years through the influence of the Roman Empire and its Greek Eastern continuation. It is also the birthplace of Western culture that created an ideal of beauty that strongly influenced Western art. Greek cuisine, characteristic of a healthy Mediterranean diet, consists of local dishes such as moussaka, Greek salad and souvlaki.

This summer, UCSD offers two Global Seminars in Athens: “MMW 14: Modern Greece” and “Drugs, Behavior and the History of Neuroscience in Greece.” Both focus on the cultures of Greece, but they look at them from a historical point of view and medical perspective. The programs begin at the end of June, and last through the month of July.

Perhaps, after visiting Greece, your love for Santorini’s will grow. Or not.

Finally, what does global citizenship look like in terms of actions? We hope each of this quarter's events help our audiences approach these questions with new insights. While we are not looking to assemble a selection of 'correct' answers, we are interested in complementing and complicating the ways UCSD and San Diego communities answer these questions, and we hope our speakers keep them in mind while preparing their remarks.

First-Ever Collegiate Win UCSD Dominates Conference Rivals Clayton Yamaguchi wins the Dennis Rose Invitational. Tritons get revenge on Cal Poly Pomona before blanking Cal State Monterey Bay. UCSD’s senior Clayton Yamaguchi won his first-ever collegiate tournament at the Dennis Rose Invitational at the Waikoloa Beach Resort Kings’ Course on Hawaii’s Big Island. UCSD placed third as a team on Saturday after finishing the first day of the competition Friday in second. No. 8 Cal State Monterey Bay won it all, followed by Wilmington in second place.

Day One Yamaguchi hit a 70 to open the day on Friday on the par-72 course.

He followed that up with a 69 in the second round, bringing his total to a 5-under par (139). Yamaguchi was tied for fourth after one round of competition but took sole possession of first place at the end of the day. He was two strokes ahead of Wilmington’s junior Sam Clark (141) in second while Cal State Monterey Bay’s junior Fredrik Jullum, senior Ray Richards and senior Carr Vernon were three strokes away, all tied for third with a count of 142.

As a team, UCSD shot a 298 in the first round and moved up to second with a 293 in the second round, two strokes ahead of Saint Martin’s and Wilmington, both tied for third with a 593. UCSD’s 591 was 20 strokes over Cal State Monterey Bay’s field best 5-under 571.

Tritons senior Jeff Roseth was tied for 12th after one day (148), senior Daniel Yang tied for 33rd (152), freshman Jake Haselden tied for 38th (154) and sophomore Grant Amerson was tied for 42nd (155).

Day Two Yamaguchi shot 70 again on

Saturday in the third round to win the individual title, while UCSD finished third out of 10 after the second day of the tournament.

Yamaguchi finished with a 209 (7 under par) to earn his first collegiate win.

“I worked really hard this summer preparing for the season and was playing really well heading into the school year,” Yamaguchi told the UCSD Athletics Department. “Unfortunately, when school started, I kind of lost things and wasn’t playing very well. I really had to grind these last few weeks, and the hard work paid off.”

Cal State Monterey Bay’s Jullum finished two strokes behind Yamaguchi with a 211, 5 under par. Richards finished third with a total of 212, 4 under par.

UCSD dropped from second to third after shooting a 294 on the final day. The Tritons finished with an 885, 21-over par, as a team. Cal State Monterey Bay won with a total of 852 (-12). Wilmington finished second at 879 (+15), a strong 27 strokes behind Monterey Bay. Roseth tied for 13th (220), Yang was 28th (225), Haselden tied for 41st (233) and Amerson was 47th (236) for the Tritons.

“This week in Hawaii has been a lot of fun for the team,” Yamaguchi said. “Walking away with a victory is something I’ll never forget.”

UCSD is now done with its fall season. Next time the Tritons will see a competition is Feb. 8 to Feb. 9, at the Cougar Invitational hosted by Cal State San Marcos at Shadowridge in Vista.

UCSD women’s volleyball hosted a pair of California Collegiate Athletic Association rivals on Friday and Saturday night at RIMAC Arena. The Tritons emerged victorious in both games, defeating Cal Poly Pomona three sets to one on Friday night and blanking Cal State Monterey Bay three sets to zero on Saturday night. UCSD moved up in sole possession of third place in the CCAA with a 15–9 overall record and an 11–5 CCAA record.

Game One The UCSD women’s volleyball team defeated Cal Poly Pomona 3–1 on Friday evening at home at RIMAC Arena. The team dominated Cal Poly 25–11, 14–25, 25–14 and 25–17, winning three sets by more than eight points.

The Tritons had a hot start, posting the highest hitting number of the match in the first set, swinging at a .433 (15–2–30). The Tritons dominated right out of the gate in the first set and disposed of Pomona 25–11. It took the Broncos one set to get going offensively as they hit .026 (8–7–38) in the first set and then hit an excellent .429 (20–2– 42) in the remainder of the game. This offensive performance allowed them to take the second set 25–14 to level the game at one set each. However, UCSD continued to push and ended up out-hitting Cal Poly Pomona .280 (52–12–143) to .160 (49–23–163), taking the third and fourth sets 25–14 and 25–17.

Junior outside hitter Meagan Wright led the way for the Tritons with 19 kills and 17 digs. Wright has now

put together 15 double-doubles for the season. She hit .500 with only one error in 36 attacks.

Senior middle blocker Kameron Cooper had 13 kills for the Tritons, and senior setter Heidi Sierks had 46 assists and a team-leading 17 digs for her 15th double-double, just like Wright, tying her for the most on the team. Sophomore libero Amanda Colla had 11 digs, and freshman libero Kayla Evans pitched in 15.

Danielle Dahle, the reigning CCCA Player of the Week, added 12 digs, six kills, an assist and an ace.

“We have changed our mindset,” Cooper told the UCSD Athletics Department. “We came into this game specifically with a 4–0 record, and we just said, ‘This is our house, and we defend it.’”

Cal Poly Pomona was lead by sophomore outside hitter Deanna Blaine’s 15 kills and senior libero Zoe Herrera’s match-high 29 digs.

UCSD maintained an 8–4 advantage in blocks.

Game Two Wright had another great game as UCSD beat Cal State Monterey Bay in straight sets 25–13, 25–15 and 25–23 Saturday at RIMAC Arena. Wright had 19 kills and 17 digs to lead the Tritons.

UCSD, with their sixth-consecutive win, improved to a 15–9 overall record and an 11–5 record in the CCAA, solidly installed in third place in the league. Cal State Monterey Bay is in a slump as they suffered another loss, bringing their record to 5–16 overall and 4–12 in CCAA play.

UCSD continued its strong offensive performance from recent weeks. With the score tied at nine in the first set, UCSD went on a 15-to-

three run to close out the first set. In the second set, UCSD distanced itself from Cal State Monterey Bay early and never let them catch up, clinching a two-to-zero set lead. In the final set, the Tritons had an early 17–13 lead but could not hold on to it. The Otters battled back, even taking a 22–20 lead over the Tritons. UCSD held strong and used a five-to-one run to clinch.

Wright was strong once again , hitting .441 with only four errors in 34 attacks, along with 19 kills and 17 digs.

Wright has 16 double-doubles this season and has tallied up at least 10 kills in 22 of 24 matches played. Sierks had 30 assists and 10 digs. Senior outside hitter Jessica Malcolm led Cal State Monterey Bay with eight kills, and senior libero Rachel Cookus had a match-leading 21 digs.

UCSD hit .210 (40–15–119) to Cal State Monterey Bay’s .033 (27– 23–123). The Tritons had a 65–55 lead in digs.

It was senior night for the Tritons and their last regular season home game. Four Tritons were honored at the end of the game: Cooper, Sierks, libero Bailey Turk and Dahle, the alltime leader in kills for the Tritons.

“They are some of the friendliest people that I know, and they have some of the best team chemistry,” Wright told the UCSD Athletics Department. “It helps when the team is really playing well. I’m just trying to help my team in any way I can.”

The Tritons play their last four regular-season games on the road. Next week, they head to Cal State Stanislaus on Nov. 6 and Chico State on Nov. 7.

fter going 2–0 against Cal State San Marcos and Chico State, the UCSD women’s soccer team continued its hot streak in a rematch against California Collegiate Athletic Association rival Cal State San Marcos with a 2–0 win on Friday night. The Tritons are now 12–5–1 overall and the No. 4 seed heading into the CCAA tournament, while the Cougars fell to 3–9–5 to cap off their season.

Both teams’ defenses held strong as the game remained scoreless for the first 45 minutes. However, while the Tritons were unable to come away with any points, they kept the Cougars on their toes with nine shot attempts against the Cougars’ four.

Cal State San Marcos redshirt sophomore goalie Erica Dory was a thorn in the Tritons’ side as she held her ground with five saves in the first period.

The second period was a different story for the Tritons. At the 64-minute mark, UCSD sophomore forward Katie O’Laughlin put the team up with a shot from just outside the penalty area. The goal was her seventh of the season and was assisted by defenders Meghan Berry, a redshirt junior, and true junior Kristen Sampietro. The Tritons strengthened their lead at the 81st minute when their sophomore midfielder Taylor Ramos scored her first goal of the season on a right-footed shot into the left corner

Other than a missed header by sophomore defender Megan Randig, the Cougars could not match any of the Tritons’ aggression, as they only had four shot attempts in the second period compared to UCSD’s 10. UCSD led the shot count for the entire game, 19 to the Cougars’ eight, as the Cougars were blanked for the fifth-straight game. O’Laughlin and Ramos led the Tritons with four shots each, and the team took a season-high 12 corner kicks.

Thanks to the team’s ball control, UCSD’s senior goalie Kelcie Brodsky didn’t have much work to do; she only needed one save to notch her eighth individual shutout of the season and the 27th of her career.

“We’ve just been getting better and better as the season goes by,” Brodsky told the UCSD Athletics Department. “I see great things for this team.”

Up next, fourth-seed UCSD hosts the fifth-seed Cal Poly Pomona in the first round of the CCAA tournament on Nov. 3. Third-seed Cal State Los Angeles will host sixth-seed Cal State Stanislaus, while top-seed Sonoma State and regular season runner-up Chico State get a first-round bye.

Senior two-meter Tyler Mancuso scored threestraight goals in the third quarter to put the Tritons definitively ahead.

UCSD Pulls Off the Upset Over Santa Clara at Canyonview Pool Behind Tyler Mancuso’s three-straight goals in the third quarter, the Tritons pull away from Santa Clara in the second half on Thursday.

No. 17 UCSD men’s water polo team put away a 9–5 upset against No. 16 Santa Clara University this past Thursday, breaking through a 2–2 deadlock and outscoring the Broncos 7–3 in the second half to secure the victory. The Tritons improved to an 11–11 overall record and 4–1 in the Western Water Polo Association, while Santa Clara fell to 9–16 overall and 1–2 in the WWPA. The Broncos’ redshirt sophomore driver John Raineri hit the target first within 28 seconds of play to put his team at a one-point advantage.

UCSD’s junior driver Nick Alexander then responded with two fast goals of his own, ending the first period strongly for the Tritons.

However, the Bronco offense shut down any Triton attempts to score in the second frame. Redshirt sophomore driver DeMarco Orella fired one into the back of the cage to equalize, leaving the teams at 2–2 going into the half.

UCSD rebounded in the third quarter, putting away six shots and limiting Santa Clara to just one to take a massive five-point lead. Senior two-meter Tyler Mancuso found the back of the cage three consecutive times; senior utility Daniel Straub, junior utility Nassim Hmeidan and senior utility Chase Cockerill each put away one.

“I definitely hit some rough patches early in the season with [my] knee injury,” Mancuso told the UCSD Athletics Department. “There was definitely a lot of anxiety about that, but I just came to practice every

day and put the work in, and it feels really good to see that work pay off in the end.”

The Broncos attempted to stage a comeback in the fourth, but despite

outscoring the Tritons 2–1, Santa Clara could not overcome the deficit, leaving UCSD with a decisive 9–5 win when the final buzzer sounded.

Mancuso notched his fourth hat

trick of the season this game, leading the Triton offense with three goals.

Alexander followed close behind with two of his own. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Jack Turner held strong in the cage, amassing 11 saves in the game.

“I think we can move forward with having beaten Santa Clara,” Mancuso said. “ I think it’s going to give us that motivation to come back to practice this week and put the work in that we need to beat a solid team, [UC Davis].”

UCSD will close its conference schedule out against UC Davis on Thursday, Nov. 5. The winner of that game will go into the WWPA Championship on Nov. 20 to Nov. 22 as the top seed.
