hat scares youthe most aboutschool? Grades?Finding the rightinternship?

Maybe talking to the girl who sitsnext to you every day? Whateveryour fears, asbestos exposure isprobably not one of them. Butshould it be? Every year San DiegoState’s Environmental Health and

Safety Department releases a noti-fication listing the buildings onSDSU’s campus that containasbestos. The list includes morethan 40 buildings, from East andWest Commons to Love Library.Asbestos in those buildings can befound in materials such as pipeinsulation, floor tiles and roofing.

Before you reach for that gasmask you’ve been saving for this

year’s impending apocalypse, readthis: Your chances of beingexposed to asbestos, let alone get-ting sick from it, are probablyextremely small. Asbestos is a niftymineral compound that was allthe rage during most of the 20thcentury, because it’s inexpensiveyet strong and surprisingly resist-ant to fire and electricity. It’s soprevalent that any building in the

U.S. constructed prior to 1979 isusually assumed to containasbestos unless proven otherwise.Eventually, we realized exposureto airborne asbestos fibers in highenough quantities leads to grislydiseases, including malignant lungcancer and mesothelioma.

Eisenhower’s granddaughter visits

Faculty says yay or nay to strike

California State University faculty is inthe process of voting on whether ornot they will authorize a strike. If thevote is approved, the strike will takeplace if the California FacultyAssociation does not come to anagreement with the CSU Chancellorand Board of Trustees.

San Diego State faculty express dif-ferent improvements they would liketo see within the CSU system.

Joseph Thomas, a tenured profes-sor within the Department of Englishand Comparative Literature,expressed his concern about profes-sors’ salaries. Thomas currently livesin a one-bedroom apartment inHillcrest. One-third of his monthlysalary goes toward rent.

“I would hope that the CSU sys-tem would try to honor facultymembers by paying us competitivewages, that take into account cost ofliving, but I’m really not that opti-mistic,” Thomas said.

Thomas has voted yes on his bal-lot to authorize the strike, if itbecomes a necessity.

To criminal justice professor PaulKaplan, money is not the biggest con-

cern: it is the working conditions. Headvocates SDSU needs more faculty.In 2007, he had 70 students in oneclass. Now, according to Kaplan, hisclass sizes have almost tripled.

Kaplan stressed the fact the stu-dents’ educational experiences arebeing impacted. He has noticedthroughout the years professors arebogged down and tired because ofthe amount of students and sectionsthey have to teach. Kaplan has

noticed even he is feeling the strainof his workload.

“I love my job, I love the students,I’m not sitting here whining about myjob, but at the same time, to allowadministrators to make unilateraldecisions about how we are sup-posed to do things is wrong,” Kaplansaid. He voted to authorize the strike.

Africana studies professor CharlesToombs realizes professors do notnecessarily want to go on strike.

“We are mostly doing this to take thisaction to the governor or legislature toput pressure on the CSU to compro-mise and not go on strike,” he said.

According to Toombs, only CFAmembers can vote and a majority isneeded. Of the 900 members,almost 600 have confirmed theywould vote yes.

Voting will continue until April 27.After voting is complete, CFA and CSUwill return to bargaining a contractuntil an agreement is reached.

“Once you get out there in the world,you will realize the news feeds are dif-ferent from what you experience. Theworld is not so bad when you get outthere,” Mary Eisenhower, grand-daughter of the late United Statespresident Dwight D. Eisenhower, said.

This statement exemplifies herintention in meeting with San DiegoState’s University Student Chapter ofPeople to People on Monday.

Eisenhower, the president andCEO of People to PeopleInternational, applauded studentson debuting the first universitychapter on the West Coast.

The SDSU chapter, which startedlast September, focuses on bringingpeace through understanding

despite the segregation created byinternational borders and long-established prejudices.

During Monday’s meeting thechapter mentioned the importanceof educating people about issues,such as the “one-sided solution” ofthe Kony 2012 video. The SDSUchapter hopes to send students toUganda to provide direct under-standing by living and seeing thesituation as it is rather than how itis portrayed.

Eisenhower conversed with studentsabout travel experiences, insightfulanecdotes, future plans for study abroadprograms and common-thread issuesamong different cultures. This inspiredthe students launching the new chapterand helped them look forward to expe-riencing faraway destinations.

“The farther you get into traveling,the harder it will be to get out,”Eisenhower said. “It is a wonderfulworld out there and you will see thatas soon as you experience it.”

UCLA apologizes for folly

Project Nur celebrated the interfaithholiday Mimouna last Monday oncampus. The cultural organization issoon to conclude its first year at SanDiego State as a pluralistic groupdedicated to diversity.

“We’re a light on campus,” ProjectNur President Hashaw Elkins said. Nuris Arabic for light. “We’re committed topositive experiences, generating dia-logue and to connecting people.”

According to Elkins, Project Nur isa model on campus of a trulydiverse community. He added thatProject Nur is a cultural organizationdedicated to culture.

Originating in Morocco, Mimouna isthe day after Passover. During PassoverJews are not allowed to eat bread.Mimouna is the first day they can begineating it again. This is accompanied bya springtime celebration when Jewishpeople bless their orchids and vine-yards, followed by a large feast withtheir Muslim and Christian neighbors.

In commemoration of the holiday,Project Nur gifted a fig tree, a universalsymbol of peace, to the campus garden

created by campus organizationGarden Gnomes.

“We want to educate people on thefact that holidays like this exist so that itreaches the awareness of the publicand they understand that there is moreto interfaith than they previouslythought, more out there than just con-flict,” Elkins said.

The event showcased student artwith the theme of peace and diversity,provided information about the holidayand hosted a performance by localbelly dancers. A photo booth providedby Apple displayed the traditions andhistory of the event, resembling BalboaPark’s houses of hospitality.

“I feel that such artistry is preciselywhat Project Nur seeks to do ... to focuson the best that we can find in terms ofart and human expression,” professor ofreligious studies and Project Nur advis-er Khaleel Mohammed said.

According to Elkins, the event almostdidn’t happen because of fundingissues. Elkins said Cultural Arts andSpecial Events funds had already beenused for the semester. The original planhad been shelved when students urgedElkins to bring it back. The dancers andartists offered their talents for free.

The notice, sent the weekend ofApril 7, included a link to a financialaid letter informing the wait-listedstudents they were on the waitinglist. The mixed messages promptedmany confused students to call UCLAdirectly. The Monday following theemail, UCLA’s Office of Financial Aidsent out apology letters to those whohad mistakenly received the email.

While mistakes like this do nothappen often, this is not the first timeUC applicants were mistakenly toldthey had been admitted. In 2009, UCSan Diego sent admission notices to28,000 applicants who had actuallybeen rejected.

’m not sure when it hap-pened. Somewhere betweenXanga, the demise ofMyspace and the transition toTimeline on Facebook, social

networking sites became a muchbigger part of our lives than theyever needed to be. What was sup-posed to be a virtual marketplace ofsocial interaction has slowly beendevolving into an obsessive andmentally detrimental competition —a competition we rarely discusswith each other, a competition thatproduces no real victor in the end.

Similar to high school, this unspo-ken rivalry revolves primarily aroundpopularity and attractiveness (andwe thought we were past all that) —except now we have tools and tricksto make us appear more popular orattractive than we actually are.Exhibit A: a new friend request?“Hmmm … I vaguely remember thisgirl from a party. Was she the onewho trolled? I have no bloody ideawho this is. Good enough.” I seewhat you did there.

Most of us are guilty of this nextone: altering our photos. I expectmany of you to instantly protest andinsist you’re only editing your pic-tures for the “artistic value.” Nevermind that the effects you’ve appliedhave conveniently eliminated yourblemishes and dark circles. But I’mno saint. Granted, while I haven’tactually taken a Photoshop knife tomy body or face in any way, I lookedthrough my photo albums andcounted four pictures of myself I’ve

altered with cross process, or thecommon “Instagram effect,” and onepicture with black and white.

Honestly, digitally trimming the fataround your waist or blurring out thecellulite in your profile picture mayseem relatively harmless to you. But arecent survey conducted by TheCenter for Eating Disorders atSheppard Pratt revealed a possiblecorrelation between Facebook usageand negative body image. Is anyonereally surprised? Think about it.

In general, the only pictures of our-selves we upload and share are onesthat present us in a flattering light;and these days, with Photoshop and abasic knowledge of photography, it’sbecoming easier to do just that. Butby enhancing and eliminating certaindetails of our photos, we are ultimate-ly creating an illusion of perfectionthat doesn’t exist. Even worse, we areshamelessly selling this false reality toour friends without any concern forthe repercussions. If we all participatein this deceiving practice, how is any-one supposed to be able to differenti-ate between the modified, revampedversions of people and the real deal?

Let’s think of this in terms of amagazine advertisement displaying abeautiful woman and a handsomeman. When taking pictures of thesemodels, photographers modify thelighting and the angles, positions and

facial expressions of the models, notunlike what you do when you’re tak-ing pictures of yourself in your bed-room. Afterward, the photo editor willcarefully leaf through the vast array ofimages, meticulously inspecting eachone in an attempt to find the perfectphotograph. Sound familiar? Nextcomes photo editing. Blemishes areremoved. Say goodbye to fine lines,wrinkles, discoloration and stretchmarks. Let’s tone the arms, slim downthose thighs and tighten up those abs.People will just assume she works outregularly or, even better, was born thisway. Make her breasts bigger. Cansomeone get this woman a tanplease? Give him a sharper jaw line.Let’s put some muscle on his calves.Hello well-endowed compressionshorts in 3 … 2 … 1.

See, what I don’t understand ishow quick women are to criticizethis practice when fashion maga-zines do it, yet they are incrediblyunwilling to post and share picturesof themselves in a “natural” state.Hypocrisy at its finest. By continuingto portray ourselves in a deceivinglyperfect light, we’re directly contribut-ing to the repulsive and destructiveexpectations set before us by a sick-eningly superficial culture.

From making ourselves appearmore muscular or toned to tanner orskinnier, we’ve become obsessed witheliminating the existence of our“imperfections” and any evidence wepossess “flaws.” It’s like we’ve totallyabandoned our own uniqueness, in allof its imperfect splendor, and traded itin for a stencil with which we willredraw ourselves to fit the norm.

I’ll leave you with this lastthought. When you post a pictureyou’ve altered, you don’t use thecaption space to list the details ofthe photo that you’ve edited. “I’mnot really this tan. Photoshop.” Youdon’t mention that this picture wasone of 75 that you took on PhotoBooth and that you hated all therest. No, you just write somethinglike, “Bored” and you let peoplebelieve that’s how you really look.

It may not seem destructive, but it is.

Rest assured, asbestos in SDSUcurrently poses no threat to your lifeand there is a team of trained profes-sionals on campus making sure itstays that way.

The problem isn’t the imminentthreat of asbestos exposure. Theproblem is that, if you’re like me, youhad no idea there even was asbestoson campus, let alone in more than40 buildings we use every single day.SDSU has a responsibility to proac-tively inform students of the exis-tence of asbestos on campus and ofwhat is being done to minimize therisk of exposure.

The asbestos notification releasedannually by EHS is distributed to allschool employees in compliancewith California Health and SafetyCode Section 25915. This rulerequires the owners of buildings withasbestos-containing materials toinform all their employees of thepresence of asbestos in the building.This common sense requirementrecognizes employees have a right toknow of any potential health risksassociated with a particular building.

An added bonus is that it makes allemployees part of a constant moni-toring system. If employees, forexample, know roofing material in acertain building contains asbestos,and they see a broken ceiling tile onthe floor, they know to avoid disturb-ing the tile and to contact the healthdepartment to deal with the issuebefore there’s any risk of exposure.

It makes sense for faculty andstaff to be informed annually of theexistence of asbestos at SDSU, but itmakes even more sense for studentsto be informed. With more than30,000 students at SDSU, we are byfar the likeliest group to notice a sit-uation in which asbestos could beexposed. More importantly, everyyear we spend countless hours inbuildings throughout SDSU, com-pletely unaware of the existence ofasbestos all around us. No matter

how small the risk is, we have aright to know of that risk. And wehave a right to know how we arebeing protected from that risk. Theodds of dying in a plane crash areextremely small, but its passengersstill have a right to know where theemergency exits are.

Clearly, SDSU has a responsibilityto inform students about asbestoson campus. The question is how bigthat responsibility is. After all, thisinformation is freely available online.The notification is posted every yearby EHS on its site, which is in theDivision of Business and FinancialAffairs website. But unless you fre-quently navigate SDSU’s administra-tive websites, or your Googlesearches tend to look like: “SDSU +(insert toxic compound)” you proba-bly had no idea about asbestos oncampus. The school needs to domuch more to reach out to studentsand educate them about asbestoson campus. This can easily be doneat no cost to the school.

First, incoming students should beinformed of the existence ofasbestos on campus and given anoverview of how to identify andtreat a situation in which asbestosmight be exposed. A short presenta-tion could easily be incorporatedinto traditional orientation activities.Annual follow-ups, including EHS’snotifications, can be distributed tostudents by email and social media.

The effort needed to inform stu-dents is minimal. But having a stu-dent body that is fully aware ofthe campus they live and learn atis invaluable.

Scottish post-punk revival band WeWere Promised Jetpacks will be jet-ting through San Diego tonight,bringing abrasive yet calming rockto The Casbah. Formed in 2003, theband released its debut album“These Four Walls” in summer 2009,with several tracks making therounds as soundtracks to scenes intelevision shows such as“Shameless” and “Sons of Anarchy.”

The band returned with its sopho-more follow-up in October last year. “Inthe Pit of the Stomach” dabbles insound rock and post-punk realms,opening on a loud and proud notewith “Circles And Squares” and“Medicine.” The one standout track onthe album that showcases We WerePromised Jetpacks as something otherthan a punk band is “Act On Impulse.”

It starts with a simple guitar riff andsounds as if the song is waking up inthe morning, with echoing vocals thatlater infiltrate the rhythms of the intro-duction. The song is a hauntingreminder of all the dark feelings thathide inside waiting for absolution. “ActOn Impulse” marks the middle sectionof the album that has a considerablyslower tone than the bookends of thealbum. The album closes with themarathon song (it’s 6:35) “Pear Tree,”combining all the good traits of thealbum, leaving the listener on a hope-ful note. The controlled crescendo inthe last half of the song is perfect for alittle head banging.

We Were Promised Jetpacks playstoday at The Casbah, with ChasingKings and Tristen providing support.Tickets are on sale now via TheCasbah’s website for $16. Tickets willalso be available at the door. Theshow is 21 and older and doors willopen at 8:30 p.m.

99--2255 ((33--99))The roller-coaster ride continues forthe San Diego State Baseball team.The Aztecs traveled north to face theUC Irvine Anteaters Tuesday, stillriding high after a walk-off victoryagainst New Mexico on Sunday.

Sophomore right-hander PhilipWalby took the mound for SDSU,which looked to maintain its momen-

tum in the non-conference matchupin preparation for a three-game serieswith Mountain West Conference-leading TCU beginning Friday.

Walby would get off to a roughstart, though, as UCI wasted littletime putting an unearned run on theboard by way of an errant throw thatescaped freshman infielder RyanMuno, who got the start at first. Theerror allowed Irvine’s Jordan Fox toadvance to second. He was thendriven in by Connor Spencer.

The Anteaters utilized an uncon-ventional lineup strategy that sentfive consecutive right-handed hit-

ters to the plate, followed by fourstraight lefties. Because of this, SDSUalternated left and right-handedpitchers throughout the contest,eventually using a total of nine.

The score remained 1-0 in favor ofIrvine until the fifth inning, when theAnteaters tacked on three additionalruns to increase their lead. However,the Aztecs would answer with tworuns of their own in the sixth afterfreshman outfielder Greg Allendropped down a sacrifice bunt toput sophomore outfielder CodySmith and freshman infielder TannerReibenspies, who got his first start atthird base, on second and third.Reibenspies then scored on a wildpitch, and Smith was driven in bysophomore Tim Zier’s double toright-center field.

Irvine added another run in itshalf of the inning to make it 5-2, butSDSU responded by scoring a run inthe seventh. Although Zier had yetanother double to lead off theeighth, the team was unable to get arally going and the hot-hitting sec-

ond baseman was the only Aztecplayer to score.

When it seemed SDSU hadmomentum in its favor, theAnteaters blew the game open withfive runs in the bottom of the eighth.The Aztecs would score once morein the ninth, but Irvine took thegame with a 10-5 score.

“The offense has definitely beenthere,” SDSU head coach TonyGwynn said. “But there have beenmoments when we’ve really neededsome timely hitting and we’ve beenunable to get it done.”

Tuesday was seemingly one ofthose nights as the team didn’t geton the scoreboard until the sixthinning and failed to complete anear comeback.

SDSU drops to 18-21 with theloss, and the team will continueplay at 6 p.m. on Friday at TonyGwynn Stadium as TCU comes totown for the beginning of a three-game series.

When a first-year program begins com-peting in NCAA Division I athletics,immediate success is tough to achieve.

Even with a young team consistingof mostly freshmen, the San DiegoState women’s lacrosse team hadhigh standards and entered its inau-gural season with the goal of having awinning record.

SDSU ended its season on Sundayafter falling to Stanford in a back-and-forth battle; although theAztecs did not achieve their primarygoal, SDSU head coach Kylee Whitewas still pleased with how the sea-son turned out.

“I am very proud of the way thegirls played this season,” White said.

“We never treated them as a youngteam and they showed a lot of matu-rity. They fought hard every game.”

SDSU finished with a record of 5-10, including 2-5 in Mountain PacificSports Federation play. The Aztecsplaced sixth overall in the confer-ence, but did not qualify for the con-ference tournament, which takesthe top four teams.

Although other teams in the con-ference still have games remaining,SDSU is currently well representedamong the MPSF statistical leaders.

Sophomore attacker Meris Walshwas an offensive force throughout theseason, and finished third in the con-ference with 3.13 goals per game.

In addition, sophomore midfielderChristina Ricciardulli placed third inthe conference with 2.07 groundballs per game and freshman goal-

keeper Sammy Slattery finished thirdwith 8.87 saves per game.

As for the future, White is veryexcited for what lies ahead. She plansto add more talent by bringing in newrecruits and is working on finalizingthe schedule for the next season.

Two future opponents White high-lighted are USC and Marquette; twowell-known sports schools, which willbe competing in their own inaugurallacrosse seasons next year.

White also noted the possibility ofSDSU’s first-ever televised game nextseason, as the Aztecs could potential-ly be featured on NBC Sports.

“We definitely want to have awinning record next season andmake the conference tournament,”White said. “We have a lot toimprove on, but I can’t wait towatch us grow as a team.”

FICT ION

his jungle is a livingcreature. The cicadasbuzzing. The birdschirping. It’s nearimpossible to sleep at

night. The air is so humid you couldswear it’s raining. Oh wait, damn,now it’s raining. And I’m weigheddown by 30 pounds of tactical gear,on point, looking for possiblethreats. “Only two hours more ofmarching,” Lou says. Lou’s short forLieutenant. Crow has my back, eventhough he’s said, “Vallon, if you turnyour back on me I’ll bury my toma-hawk in you.” Behind him, sloshingslowly through the mud, is Lou withMarlowe bringing up the rear. Crowand I got our own deal worked outwhere we both carry each other’sdeath letters. His is to his parents,mine to my own. Lou didn’t want to,and Marlowe’s too much of a loudSouthern boy to be trusted with it.Crow was more concerned aboutthe honor a paleface could have. Healways talks about how his great-grandfather was a real Indian, onewho defended his honor and family,but how the white man had nowrobbed Crow of being like him bydrafting him into a war. Despite allhis talk, I think he has a thing forpoetry. I once caught him reading asmall book filled with ‘em ... STOP.

Right there. In the clearing. Amovement. Too quick to get agauge on it. It was there. Then itwasn’t. I stare for a full five seconds.Then the jungle explodes into aninferno. There’s gunfire everywhere,wait, actual fire now. Charlies arelearning they don’t need to shoot usto win, just burn us all to hell. Lou’sdown now, gripping his bleeding leg,Crow’s nowhere to be seen andMarlowe … oh s— Marlowe. He’s facedown in the mud, no movement.I’m running now, trying to make myway to Lou, almost there … then arifle butt blinds me from out ofnowhere. Everything’s black …

I’m alive. I wake up in a hut thatsmells like death. I try to get up, butmy wrists are tied. I turn my head.There’s Lou, beat to hell but breath-ing. No sign of Marlowe. Same forCrow. Where could they be? My uni-form’s gone. My tags and Crow’s let-ter, all gone. They see me awakeand throw a bag over my head,dragging me outside. Oh God, this isit. I hear Lou moaning and beingpushed next to me. We’re boththrown down into the dirt. Our bagsare pulled off.

Empty eyes stare back at me.Dead eyes. Marlowe. He’s beenstripped of his equipment andpropped against a wall. He lookslike he’s been dead for days. Howlong has it been? The leader mustbe thinking about this too andslaps me in the face before forcingme to turn my head at the body,no, bodies of people. He speaksaloud, in perfect English. “This iswhat happens when you come tomy country. I go to yours to learnand study in your schools, and thisis how you repay me? That’s myfamily there. You burned my villagedown so I cannot go home. Nowyou will not go home either. Youwill die here with them.”

The fires are burning now, themoon is out. Lou is standing withslumped shoulders. He gasps as theleader thrusts his knife into Lou’schest. With a quick swipe, he slashesLou’s throat and kills him. His emptyeyes look at me as he falls to theground. He cleans the knife and,with a flourish, stabs me in thechest. It burns and hurts somethingawful. I’m on the floor, looking up ashe gives the word for his men to fin-ish it. One raises his gun and aims ...but drops it. There’s a small dartsticking out of his arm. The next one

catches him in the throat . He goesdown screaming as his friend turnsto face the onslaught and catches atomahawk in his chest. There’swhooping and screaming as Crowruns from the jungle, tackling andsnapping the last one’s neck beforeturning to the leader.

The leader tosses down his knifeand utters one more curse, “Theywill do to you what they did to me!You will see.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Crow says,striding up to him, “They alreadyhave.” He plunges his knife into theman’s throat. Then black …

Crow turns around, looking at thescene. There are fires everywhereand Vallon doesn’t look too good. Afinger at his neck confirms what hefigured. Lou, Marlowe and nowVallon. And for what?

He searches the nearby huts untilhe comes up to what must havebeen the lead man’s dwelling. Asmall cot, a book with an openenvelope as a bookmark. His enve-lope. He opens it up and finds abook of poetry by Yeats. On thepage it reads:

Turning and turning in thewidening gyre / The falcon cannothear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre can-not hold / Mere anarchy is loosedupon the world;

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed,and everywhere / The ceremony ofinnocence is drowned.

He grimaces and looks at the burn-ing village. At the dead leader. At thebodies of his family. At Marlowe, Louand Vallon. At the jungle.

He stares and mutters to himself: “The blood-dimmed tide is

loosed, and everywhere the cere-mony of innocence is drowned …”
