Students, Senator Oppose Regent Appointed by Gov. Schwarzenegger

By Nicole ChanAssociate News Editor

Students could be charged an $8 quarterly fee if a referendum to save the Center for Library and Instructional Computing Services — known by most as CLICS — is put on the Spring 2012 A.S. Elections ballot.

Muir College Council Chair Jessie Rosales is heading a task-force committee with representatives from the six college councils and members of A.S. Council to examine the feasibility of saving CLICS, or maintaining it as a study space for students.   About 15 people from various college councils and A.S. Council have expressed interest in the task-force committee, Rosales said.

According to Rosales, the annual budget to sustain CLICS — including its ACMS computer lab — is approximately $600,000. Rosales believes this revenue can be created with a new, $8-per-quarter student fee. If A.S. Council approves Rosales’ proposal, it will be placed on the Spring 2012 A.S. Elections ballot. If passed, it would go into place — and CLICS would reopen —  during the 2012-13 academic year.  

Currently, CLICS is scheduled to close after finals in June 2011.

Rosales said the task-force committee plans to submit a CLICS proposal —  which will cover maintenance, security, rental and budgeting factors —  to the Department of Academic Affairs by the end of the summer. According to Rosales, the Academic Affairs Department already has four proposals to use CLICS for office spaces.

“The referendum is my idea right now,” Rosales said. “The point of the task force is to come up with other ideas.”

Rosales explained that alternatives to the referendum are being considered. One option is to turn the library into a student-run study space, similar to a co-op. He said that operating CLICS without the ACMS computers costs $370,000 annually.

“I want to make sure the administration knows that [the issue is] not dead,” he said. “Students are still really concerned about this issue. It seems that the administration is taking the students’ voices for granted.”

According to Rosales, Acting Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Planning and Resources David Miller said it is doubtful the

administration would consider a student fee proposal.

“I consider it as a slap in the face because it’s just shutting down the student voice,” Rosales said. “We really want this force to be known so that [it] pressures the administration and tells them they shouldn’t be the ones making the sole decisions.”

Current library committee undergraduate representative and former A.S. Campuswide Senator Anish Bhayani said he doubts the administration would approve such a referendum.

“The administration won’t just hand it to the students just because they have the money to support it,” Bhayani said. “The percentage of students who use CLICS does not suffice a full referendum.”

Bhayani said he is concerned the referendum would require A.S. to deal with issues they are not prepared to address such as legal issues, worker training, workers’ compensation, benefits among other areas of managing a business.

Task Force Proposes $8-Per-Quarter Student-Fee Referendum to Save CLICS

Suspect Attempts to Kidnap StudentU CSD police are conducting an

investigation after a suspect — who has yet to be found — attempted to kidnap

a UCSD student just west of Geisel Library on Friday, May 20 around 8 p.m.

According to an all-campus emergency alert from UCSD police, the student-aged male approached the female victim from behind, placed a paper bag over her head and attempted to drag her off the pathway between the bushes on the side of the library closest to Thurgood Marshall College.

The unidentified victim was able to break free from the assailant and escape.

The suspect is approximately 5’9”, medium-

built, light-skinned with curly brown hair and was last seen wearing blue jeans. The suspect fled on foot.

Multiple alerts were sent to students through the Triton Alert System around 10 p.m. the same night.

According to UCSD spokesperson Rex Graham, no new developments have been made since Friday.

The UCSD police department could not be reached for comment. No arrests have been made.

State Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) and the UC Student Association are calling for the UC Board of Regents to reject the appointment of prospective UC Regent David Crane.

Crane was appointed by former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in December 2010. If confirmed by the state senate, David Crane will hold his position as regent until March 1, 2012. Being a regent is an unpaid, volunteer position. According to the San Jose Mercury News, Crane’s confirmation hearing has not been scheduled.

Crane said he became interested in the position due to his interest in improving California higher education.

“It’s the most important thing someone can do if they want to improve the lives of Californians, to make sure we have the highest education available,” Crane said.

Since his appointment, Crane has faced disapproval from UCSA due to his political ties with the former governor — Crane was a special adviser for jobs and economic growth since 2004   — and statements he has made against collective bargaining.

UCSA and Yee — who is leading the charge to prevent Crane’s confirmation —  have expressed concerns that Crane does not appreciate collective bargaining rights for university and public employees due to a Feb. 27 op-ed he wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle.

“Collective bargaining is a good thing when it’s needed to equalize power, but when public employees already have that equality because of civil service protections, collective bargaining in the public sector serves to reduce benefits for citizens and to raise costs for taxpayers,” Crane wrote.

According to a UCSA press release, the organization was not informed of Crane’s appointment.

“It is deeply troubling that we were not

Discovery of Sex Hormone Yields Clues Into Disease TreatmentsSCIENCE AnD TECHNOLOGY

By Regina IpSenior Staff Writer

School of Medicine researchers have discovered a sex hormone that prevents inflammation in the brain. According to cellular and molecular medicine professor Christopher Glass, this newly identified hormone, called ADIOL, can uncover how inflammatory responses work in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, HIV-associated dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

“We were interested in trying to discover new ways to inhibit inflammation in the brain [so we] looked into whether the drugs were mimicking activities of natural hormones that might be in the brain,” Glass said. “We went searching and we ended up finding a natural steroid called ADIOL that has many properties of drugs we tested.”

Cells of the sex hormones androgen and estrogen eventually mature into these newly discovered

ADIOL cells, which regulate inflammation caused by microglia cells that help the central nervous system respond to infections and injuries.  

Microglia cells in the nervous system are watchdogs that look out for invading microbes or tissue damage. When they find something, these cells start up an inflammatory response in the immune system and begin to repair tissues. However, if the inflammatory response is not controlled or continues for a long period, neurons can be damaged or die.

Researchers found that this microglia inflammation is regulated by the production of ADIOL, which tells supporting cells to ease up and return to their resting state. The hormone works by binding to estrogen receptor beta to generate an anti-inflammatory response to the two cell types in the nervous system. As a result, estrogen cannot bind and can get in the way of ADIOL

“[We] tested a large series of synthetic molecules that can bind to this estrogen receptor beta and we found that some of them were blocking inflammation,” Glass said.

This discovery can indicate that women are more prone to inflammatory diseases like multiple sclerosis because they have more estrogen in their bodies. In addition, it can explain some of the severe effects of administering estrogen to the brain for post-menopausal women.

“Many aspects of inflammation one can observe in multiple sclerosis are also see in other types of neurodegenerative diseases,” Glass said. “People are beginning to see that inflammation is contributing to the severity of the disease, so an idea — and it’s not just our idea, lots of people have this idea — is that by inhibiting inflammation in the brain, we might be able to slow down the development of these very debilitating degenerative diseases.”

Levels of the hormone in the body can be helpful in predicting responses to drugs that mimic its actions.

Glass and his team of researchers will continue to study ADIOL further, such as finding out how much is naturally produced in each individual and discerning the relationship between brain inflammation and neurodegenerative disease.

informed about this decision,” UC Santa Cruz student Nelson Cortez wrote in the press release.

According to Yee, writing on the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees website, hundreds of UC employees, community members, and other public employees protested against Crane on March 4 in San Francisco.

Crane said that many of the criticisms are unfounded.

“I graduated from UC Hastings [and] started working at $5 an hour 30 years ago,” he said. “I don’t see why a person that started at a UC, went through this, and was financially successful is a bad thing [for the Regents board]. I am saying that since the state is reducing funding to the UCs, we need to take steps to ensure the affordability and accessibility of higher education.”

Despite UCSA comments, Crane said he still believes students should be involved in the bureaucratic

aspect of the UC system.“Why is more of California’s

money being spent on prison guards than for the UC system?” Crane said.

UCSA President and UC Santa Cruz junior Claudia Magaña could not be reached for comment.

UCSA Organizing and Communications Director Christine Byon refused to comment.

Do You feeL SAfe WALKInG ALone on cAMPuS At nIGHt? VOTE ONLINE.

√ Yes, this is a safe campus√ No, better safe than sorry√ I did until this incident

By now, it’s hopefully safe to say that I survived Judgment Day 2011. It isn’t much of a

shock: the Book of Wikipedia clearly outlines the history of Apocalypse predictions, which far predates minister Harold Camping’s own $100-million premonition (and, somewhat remarkably, the 92-year-old minister himself). Camping wasn’t the first to cry “rapture!” — an abridged history includes a Baptist minister proclaiming the end in 1844 and a “Korean group” call-ing it in 1992. Sir Isaac Newton’s still holding out for 2060.

I’m not one of the untold thousands who prepared for the worst on Saturday. Some maxed out credit cards to embark on the cross-country road trip they’d long put off; others, like New York City transit worker Robert Fitzpatrick, depleted over $100,000 in savings to help spread Camping’s word. I didn’t even bother to set my iPhone to Britney Spears’s “Till the World Ends.”

All the billboards on the I-5 advertising Judgment Day (many of which boast a gold seal that reads: “The Bible Guarantees It”!) did, however, get me thinking about what I might do were the end actu-ally imminent. Would I head north to say a final goodbye to my family in the Bay Area? The option’s prob-ably the most honorable. Like a solider heading to battle, I could kiss my baby siblings a tearful goodbye and tell my mother to be brave for me — we’d be better off on the other side. (Or she would: I might tip at Starbucks and help the occasional old lady with her groceries, but I can’t claim innocence of some of the kookier parts of Leviticus. Whoever authored that bit about shellfish probably never had a lobster bur-rito.)

But Camping, before going into hiding on the big day, was adamant that 6 p.m. local time would mark the end everywhere, and there’s never any telling how long it might take to get through L.A. I wouldn’t want to chance traffic on the drive north: The thought of meeting my maker at the Kettleman City Jack in the Box isn’t my idea of a graceful way out; I wouldn’t consider curly fries and a diet coke the last supper of dreams, either.

So home’s out. And there may be a handful of cameraphone worthy natural sights in San Diego, but no slice of coastline — no matter how calm the breeze or memory-searing the public nudity — has really col-ored my time here as much as a handful of rabblerousing coeds in the second-grimiest corner of the Old Student Center. They’re the ones who have initiated a thousand spontaneous dance parties and as many 2 a.m. burrito runs, and who, rapture or not, I won’t be seeing much of after this quarter. Given the circumstances, I can’t imagine a happier ending than dancing ‘til the world ends with them. (And if, as Newton predicted, I’ve got another five decades of bad pop and good company ahead of me, I’m not com-plaining, either.)

School Bench CensorshipQUICKTAKES

The American Civil Liberties Union is accus-ing La Jolla High School officials of violat-

ing the California Education Code’s free speech policy by removing student-painted messages that were supportive of the Iranian anti-govern-ment movement — but it was completely within the school’s jurisdiction to do so.

Federal judicial decree states that each school may “establish reasonable time, place and man-ner regulations regarding oral and/or written expression of ideas.” LJHS has clearly established that non-campus related student expression belongs on the bulletin boards located adjacent to the benches.

The school also states that all written matter should identify the student group responsible for the posting, as well as display the date of post-ing. The students of the Persian Club — who were responsible for the postings — violated all of these rules and should not attack the removal as an infringement upon their rights.

According to the LJHS Student Behavior Contract that each student must read and sign during registration, the school has every right to set free speech parameters.

Students have the right to not sign the con-tract, but this will forfeit their right to attend La Jolla High School.

It is important that the school takes these cautionary measures to ban controversial poli-tics so that students feel safe from any aggressive political behavior or strongly opposing opinions. By removing the postings, school officials were merely following the established rules and pro-moting a non-hostile learning environment for students.

—Hilary Lee Staff Writer

Free Speech Rightfully Curtailed

The latest controversy to occur in our neigh-borhood comes from La Jolla High School,

where the administration censored the messages “Freedom for Iran” and “Down with Dictator” that students painted on a bench. The ACLU is suing the San Diego Union School District, demanding that it surrender its authority to eradicate any message it deems too inappropriate, as this violates the students’ right to be heard. ACLU activism aside, this is a prime educational opportunity. If students care enough to paint these opin-ions, the administration has the obligation to utilize the students’ freedom of expression as an opportunity to teach.

According to the LHJS conduct code, the senior benches are intended for messages of school spirit and birthday wishes. Because of these established rules and federal law, the school is within its rights to censor the benches. But some impassioned stu-dents wanted their impact to extend beyond peppy school-spirited messages. These attempts at peer education shouldn’t simply be eradicated when they obviously concern an issue that students care about. Yasamin Elahi, the senior who painted the messages, said, “I never did any of this to get atten-tion or hurt my school… I wrote the messages so kids would realize that there is a lot going on out-side the world [of] La Jolla that they live in.”

The benches could have easily highlighted the controversy and provided an ideal point to start a real discussion about current events. When stu-dents so publicly displayed their need to show their peers what’s happening outside of campus halls, the administration at LJHS should have taken advantage of the opportunity to educate.

—Chelsey Davis Contributing Writer

The American Civil Liberties Union has once again gone too far by suing a school for

upholding its rules regarding political expression. As important as it is to preserve our rights and liberties, it is also essential not to be overly accu-satory when it comes to pointing out free speech violations.

At La Jolla High School, students painted mes-sages criticizing the Iranian government on school benches, which were quickly removed by admin-istrators. The ACLU filed a lawsuit last Monday against the school district, fighting for the mes-sages to remain painted on the benches.

This isn’t the first time the ACLU has been the subject of controversy. In the past, the organiza-tion defended groups such as North American Man/Boy Love Association, a pedophile advocacy group, as well as a church group that picketed military funerals with inflammatory signs. The ACLU defends so many questionably appropriate free speech cases that it is hard to take this recent case seriously.

The group’s most recent claim that Principal Dana Shelburne’s decision to remove the political messages violates students’ free speech is outright misguided. In cases such as Bethel School District v. Fraser (1986), the Supreme Court has clearly established that school officials can stifle student speech if it violates school rules.

According to the La Jolla High School’s code of conduct, the school’s “senior benches” are designed for non-political purposes, while other spaces on campus are available to voice political opinions. And as long as there are specific places for political expression at the school, there’s little chance the ACLU will win its newest lawsuit.

Messages Shouldn’t Be Dismissed Latest Lawsuit is a Wrong Move

Cracking the CodeA student work group shortens and simplifies UCSD’s Student Conduct Code for the first

time in three years to enhance readership and awareness.

It’s been three years since the Student Conduct Code was last revised, and a whopping 33 years since anyone

actually read it. The Student Conduct Code Revision Workgroup is betting that the widely ignored page-turner needed student authors to get student readers, and they just might be onto something. By truncating half the code and gathering input from 27 on-campus groups, the members have finally gotten the student body to give a damn about what’s expected of them.

The workgroup was formed in May 2009 by Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Penny Rue, to confront negative findings by the Undergraduate Student Experience and Satisfaction Committee. The 2005 report lists 16 campus issues to tackle and — surprise, surprise — half pertain to UCSD’s perpetually dormant social scene. One reason for this is illus-trated in No. 2: a “too controlled, overly regulated” residential life.

Tenants think Residential Security Officers only want to bust up extracur-riculars and ruin Triton spirit. One survey even described the job of the Residential Security Officers as to prac-tically “put their ears on the outside of the door to see if there is a party going on.” To combat this authoritative, detached view of administration, the 23-person workgroup is enlisting the help of student organizations, councils, and the general student body so they could better understand the standards to which they are held. Administrators

won’t ever totally “get” the student body, but it’s nice to see they at least want us on the same page.

And with this more accessible, stripped-down treatment, students will actually be on that page. No longer is an LSAT study guide required to decipher the once legally minded code. It now flows in an outline better suited for those seeking a particular paragraph. Sanctions and the appeals process are now clearly labeled brochure-style instead of buried in clauses that more closely resembled the California penal code. As a trade-off for not speaking in legal jargon, the draft defines key terminology at the beginning to keep everyone on the same page — or rather, 15 pages. This simpler lexicon effectively halved the old, legally verbose 30-page code that was likely the greatest deter-rent to student readership and, in turn, knowing the regulations RSOs so enthu-siastically enforce.

But the drastic shortening goes too far when it comes to the good stuff: sex, drugs and porn. Instead of explicitly stating each possible violation, the new code refers the reader to other policies (e.g. Sexual Harassment, Alcohol Policy 14.16, Academic Computing & Media Services Acceptable Use Policy, etc.). Fragmenting this information across multiple sources was intended to omit reiterated points, but students shouldn’t

Conduct Code Needs Facelift Beyond Changing Legal Jargon

Dear Editor,I am writing to protest the UCSD

Guardian’s decision to reject our ad titled “The Palestinians’ Case Against Israel is Based on a Genocidal Lie,” which also appeared last week in the New York Times. This ad exposes the Palestinian case against Israel for what it is. 

Israel is not “occupied Palestine.” Israel cannot be occu-pying “Palestine” because Israel was created out of the ruins of the Turkish empire. The Turks are not Arabs. There never was a political entity, state or nation called Palestine in the Middle East. The nations of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq were also created out of the land that had been controlled by the Turks for 400 years, but no one protests that they are illegally occupying the land.

The Guardian’s censorship of our ad is unconscionable for a uni-versity paper. The purpose of this suppression of our free speech is to appease the campus enemies of the only democracy in the Middle East. Shame on the Guardian for this betrayal of the most basic principles of a free press.

 —Sarah Dogan

National Campus Director, Students for Academic Freedom

Dear Editor,I tried to read the Guardian’s

“Censorship Wrong Way to Protect Kids” while sitting at a computer terminal at the Point Loma Branch of the San Diego Public Library, but a program installed by the branch librarian froze it up.

I asked that the desk clerk to lift the program.

He did so but asked my name first. He said it was the policy. I gave him my name; but when I asked for his in turn he gave me only his first name — Steven — and then thrust his nametag into his pocket.

The supervisor walked away when I asked to speak with her.

LETTER TO THE EDITORAd Censorship Betrayed Freedom of Press

ThE liTTlE rinTrAh By Eileen Shi

be forced into a scavenger hunt to piece together how they broke the code, what policy they breached and back to the code to determine the next step. All of the loose articles can ultimately be consolidated into one exhaustive piece while still avoiding the Moby Dick-length that discour-aged students from reading it.

This isn’t the first time the Student Conduct Code has been pared down for the sake of simplic-ity. In a 2001 review, a similar work group decided the use of lawyers for administrative hearings was not constitutionally protected and consequently nixed it. Even then-director of Student Legal Services Nick Aguilar admitted that attor-

neys “tend to be ineffective in the administrative setting.” The right to student advocates (now called advis-ers) was maintained, letting students enlist the help of peers in proceed-ings without giving them extra-constitutional rights. With each of these modifications, the code erases a sense of formality that did noth-ing but complicate legal affairs that students felt were already working against them.

Apart from the much-needed Cliffs-Notes makeover, the appeals process has been slightly modified. Previously, the choice to uphold or dismiss a challenged decision would be left up to the relevant college’s provost, and the entire council of six provosts would only gather to hear

an appeal concerning more than one college. The new draft would enlist the council of provosts for all appeals, not just intercollegiate disputes. While we could observe a longer turnaround time for pro-ceedings, it’s outweighed by the new pressure for provosts to find consen-sus on issues that impact students directly. Any time administrators from the six colleges convene is an opportunity to get in touch with issues that affect the greater campus. For students, this means preventing violations from being repeated and a closer relationship with those pro-vosts whom most of us never meet.

We all know how La Jolla residents can be, and many of the city’s more upscale restaurants (like Whisknladle or Azul) are pretentious enough to deter even the most determined of college students.

If you’ve ever felt this way, Prepkitchen’s got your back.Envisioned as a more laid-back (but still delicious) alternative to Chef

Ryan Johnston’s original restaurant, Whisknladle, Prepkitchen is located within an unassuming cluster of buildings on Fay Avenue, 10 minutes away from campus in downtown La Jolla.

Prepkitchen’s menu — inspired by Julia Child’s assertion that cooking “good food from fresh ingredients” should be valued above all else — is a remarkable balance of wholesome comfort food and daring, forward-focused cuisine.

A prime example is their Asparagus Tagliatelle ($16.50). Though the dish’s combination of house-made ricotta cheese, roasted garlic tagliatelle, asparagus and cream sauce is nothing groundbreaking, Prepkitchen’s atten-tion to ingredients and freshness makes the dish a surprisingly delightful update of a traditional Italian meal. Similarly striking is the restaurant’s

Spinach, Bacon and Apple Salad ($11.25), served with blue cheese and walnuts. Though this com-bination of flavors is far from new (McDonald’s serves something similar), Prepkitchen’s carefully-sourced ingredients (most vegetables are only served when in season, and both of Johnston’s restau-rants make use of farm-to-table produce) make for a salad that’s both marvelously crisp and a potent combination of the savory and sweet.

This approach is evident in almost every aspect of Prepkitchen. Their bread tastes unbelievably fresh, and upon being seated, guests are served a glass of delicately seasoned cucumber water and a plate containing a wide variety of olives. Furthermore, the staff is relentlessly friendly and unusually knowledgeable about the (often baffling) variety of unique ingredients on Prepkitchen’s menu.

There’s a reason this place sounds like a marijuana dispensary. Located 20 minutes away in downtown San Diego, Hash House a go go is every stoner’s dream: the por-tions are giant, the recipes are unique and the food is just plain amazing.

The restaurant describes itself as “twisted farm food” — a motto reflected in their best meals, their “House Hashes” and meat scrambles: With hearty, rustic dishes that are new takes on the traditional breakfast fare, Hash House’s grub is perfect for the

foodie farmhand or gourmand lum-berjack.

From roasted chicken with garlic, asparagus and rose-mary to hardwood smoked bacon, avocado, onion and Swiss scrambles, their breakfast menu items don’t sound all that, well, breakfast-y, but they’re filling and gut-satisfying.

Though they have lighter and sweeter options, like French toast or sundried tomato, basil and goat cheese scrambles, the meat-heavy meals are the most popular items on the menu. Plus, in case that wasn’t

enough, almost everything comes with potatoes and a side of bis-

cuits, with several canteens of fresh strawberry pre-serves per table.

The Hillcrest space is clean, open and modern, but you won’t be looking around much when the gargantuan meals are set in front of you. Meals are a bit pricey, as break-fast meals range from $8 to $17, but stay mostly in the $12 to $15 range. However, you’re sure to have a ton of leftovers that are still tasty post-microwave — giving you two-meals-in-one, unless you really are a lumberjack.

And if you somehow still haven’t had enough, take comfort in the fact that Hash House serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.

It may look like the seafood section of your local Ralphs, but El Pescador Fish Market — located in downtown La Jolla, a short 10-minute drive from campus — can dish out the most amazing fresh seafood salads and sandwiches.

Despite its popularity, the restaurant only has five tables, so plan on take-out to avoid waiting awkwardly with your food for a place to sit. Though El Pescador is an order-at-the-counter joint, its menu is vast. The laundry list of choices come from a wide variety of seafood ingredients (thresher shark, yellowtail, swordfish and Alaskan salmon, to name a few) plucked from the display case in front of you.

Definitely try the local char-grilled halibut sandwich ($9.95). The halibut, far from being the overcooked, rubbery mess it can so often be, shatters into a billion buttery, fishy shards when you take your first bite. It’s paired with a light torta roll, crisp vegetables and fresh, ripe avocado ($1.00 extra, but absolutely essential) that complement the fish well. The only improvement would be a fresher, toasted roll — ciabbata, perhaps.

If you are looking for lighter fare, go for their combo seafood salad ($9.50). A crisp, crunchy blend of lettuce, tomatoes and red onions, the salad is topped with fresh, sweet chunks of crabmeat and bay shrimp. Finished off with the better half of a ripe avocado (again, an extra charge) and your choice of vinaigrette, it just might become your favorite salad.

Another favorite is their oysters ($1.50 each), which are briny and sweet — as they should be. Whether it is your first or hundredth, slurp it down either by itself or topped with a dash of the in-house lemon, hot sauce and onion-vinegar mignonette.

If you’re not too lazy to drive roughly 15 minutes to Convoy when Pho La Jolla beckons from around the corner, Phuong Trang offers Pho La Jolla prices with a classier atmosphere — and without our nearby joint’s mediocre broth and signature clumpy noodles.

The restaurant, located near an Asian bakery in one of Convoy’s endless strip malls, is deceptively advertised as Vietnamese and Chinese food, but its 200+-item menu provides almost exclusively Vietnamese options, and the place is best known for its eggrolls, vermicelli and pho.

The aforementioned eggrolls are the best option from the appetizer menu. The noodles and vegetables are fresh, the outside is flaky and the fish sauce complements the mix of pork, mint and cilantro. In contrast, the spring rolls aren’t hugely different from the pre-packaged kind you can get at TapEx, and don’t bother getting the Vietnamese crepe; the “crisp rice flower crepe” with shrimp, pork and vegetables might sound appealing, but it turns out to be an enormous, hollow and fried egg sculpture with the odd-looking piece of pork or mung bean embedded inside.

But while the crepe is a disappointment, Phuong Trang’s vermicelli noodle bowls are a high point of the menu and one of the most affordable options available (around $8), and portions are enormous. The noodles are a bit stickier than usual, but they’re well done with a strong flavor of lemongrass and stir-fried vegetables that doesn’t need fish sauce to be flavorful. The bowls come with chicken, beef or shrimp, but the servers don’t charge extra for adding another meat onto your order.

The trend of big portions extends to the pho, which has flavorful broth and comes with chicken and beef meatball options. The more adventurous (and more wealthy) can also choose the seven-course beef dish, or opt to make their own spring rolls. The servers will

bring a mini-stove with plates of raw meat, vegetables and rice paper, all of which you cook or assemble yourself at the table. Aside from being great fun, it also ensures that the ingredients are done exactly to your liking and/or level of culinary skill.

Phuong Trang isn’t noted for its service, but the waiters are usually prompt, even if they don’t look overjoyed to take your order. And the state of the bathrooms can strike fear into a patron’s heart, but it’s only little worse than similar dives, and the food is much, much better.

Save for all the tables and chairs, RA sushi, located 20 minutes from campus in downtown San Diego, is basically a hip nightclub. With bold black and red décor, loud top-40 jams and an exceptional

happy hour every Monday through Saturday from 3 p.m. - 7 p.m. ($2 hot sake and $3 - $4 for well drinks and most beers), you’re pretty much guaranteed to get sloshed (or run into another

patron who is). But RA is, first and foremost, a sushi joint (three cheers for high-class drunchies!) — and an excellent one at that.

A house favorite is the filling and spicy Hot Mess ($13.50, but only $7 during happy hour) — crunchy rice balls, topped off with a mix of tender spicy king

crab, baked and finished with a dash of jalapeno, cilantro and spicy sauce. The Viva Las Vegas Roll ($7) — Kani kama crab and cream cheese rolled

in rice and seaweed, battered in a light coat of tempura and topped with smooth spicy tuna and drizzle of sweet eel sauce — is also a huge

seller.If that’s still too pricey, don’t fret — happy hour food starts

at $2 with edamame (steamed soybeans dusted with salt and served with soy sauce), and sushi staples like California

rolls ($4) and nigiri ($3 — slices of raw sushi on top of clumps of rice), as well as more unusual items

like the Pineapple Cheese Wontons ($4 — crispy, lightly fried wontons filled with cream cheese,

scallions and pineapple and served with a pineapple dipping sauce) and Tootsky

Maki ($5 — a roll stuffed with Kani kama crab mix, shrimp, cucum-

ber and topped with crunchy tempura flakes and sweet eel

sauce) come cheap.

THE ASIAN BISTRO

It’s 2 a.m. on Monday during finals week. You’re cracked out on Red Bull, you’ve just finished your paper on lit. theory and you’re starving. You’re also out of luck — In-N-Out closed its plastic neon-covered doors over an hour ago, and the thought of stomaching Burger King for the third time this week is, at best, nauseating.

Seeing how competition for the 3-a.m. crowd is pretty minimal, the Asian Bistro (formerly known as Jimmy Wong’s), could dish out roadkill and expect the residents of greater San Diego to stomach it, but they don’t. Though you’ll frequently find yourself barging into the restaurant at odd hours, the place is anything but a grimy dive — glass and cloth-covered tables line up in neat rows beside ornate red walls, decorated to match the Bistro’s Thai theme. The joint is small, but reservations (except during peak rush hours) are superfluous.

The Asian Bistro offers a spicy (adjustable to your taste), traditional, smooth and full-bodied red-chili-infused yellow curry, with a healthy helping of meat (your choice of beef, chicken, pork, tofu, mixed veg-etables, duck, shrimp or mixed seafood), potatoes, carrots, onions and a side of rice (all for $9.95, add $2 for duck, shrimp or mixed seafood.) Pair it with the Hedwig ($8.50) — six pieces of marinated shrimp wrapped in delicate, thin and crunchy fried egg noodles served with the sweet house special sauce — for a filling meal.

Best of all, the Bistro’s late-night specials will ensure you don’t break the bank satisfying your munchies (or drunchies); Mondays through Wednesdays, select entrees are $6.95 to $7.95 (this includes the aforemen-tioned yellow curry) and certain starters are a cheap $3.95 for those who opt to dine in at the restaurant.

A Café, as its too-obvious name implies, is deceptively incon-spicuous: Though it’s tucked away in a drab Kearny Mesa strip mall (approximately 15 minutes away from campus), the restau-rant offers a pocket-friendly alternative to the dreaded crispy chicken snack at the neighboring Tapioca Express.

Entrees at the Hong Kong-style café range from $5 to $13, although the menu is small, and parking (within the same lot as Yogurt World and the aforementioned TapEx) is sometimes hard to find.

The joint — one of the very few like it in town — does best with Hong Kong café staples: Dishes that blend Cantonese

cuisine with Western, Japanese and Southeast Asian influences, like pork chop with spaghetti ($8) and ham and egg with macaroni in soup ($5).

Go for the moist and tender pork chop meal ($8) — the chef ’s special is well-seasoned with salt and pepper, a good complement with the side of rice and steamed soft vegetables.

A favorite is shrimp with pineap-ple in mayonnaise ($9) with a side of steamed rice. Mayonnaise might not sound appealing on anything but a sandwich, but the sauce is a standard that’s subtly used for a thick cover over the shrimp. To top it off, the dish mixes

deliciously with the sweet pineapple.If you’re a vegetarian, get rice with pan-fried Chinese broccoli

with wine sauce dish ($7) or bean curd with brown sauce ($7). Ditch the nearby boba and quench your thirst with a cold

cup of the honey and lemon beverage ($3.50) instead, which combines water, honey, lemon and sugar.

A Café even has a great desert option (that isn’t a pound of flavorless froyo) if your stomach has room: shaved ice with red bean and vanilla ice cream ($5). For an alternative, go with a waffle topped with strawberry, kiwis and mango to eat with ice cream ($7).

LOOK FOR US 9th WEEK!

field, but it wasn’t enough.With the win, Triton pitcher

Camille Gaito (30-4) became the first pitcher in UCSD history to win 30 games in a single season. Gaito, along with teammate Kris Lesovsky, was named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-West Region First Team on Thursday, May 19. Gaito had eight strikeouts, while allowing only five hits in the win against CSUSB.

“I would have liked to have script-ed it with a few more runs on the board, but we took advantage of a few of the errors that they made, and so I was happy with it,” head coach Patti Gerckens said.

Standing one win away from the national championships, UCSD put the Coyotes away in another 3-1 win on Saturday with a three-run seventh inning.

Having recorded only one hit in the opening six innings, UCSD went into the seventh down 1-0. Leading off with the top of the batting order, Lesovsky was walked. She was fol-lowed by Sepulveda, who reached first with her 16th bunt of the season.

“I was just trying to lead off any way I could,” Lesovsky said. “I was looking for the hit, but I’ll take the walk any day.”

Woofter grounded out to sec-ond base but advanced Lesovsky and Sepulveda to second and third on a hit-and-run play. With one out, Gerckens called on junior Tess Granath to pinch hit. Granath sin-gled through the right side to score

Lesovsky easily, while Sepulveda slid home beneath the tag to put the Tritons up 2-1.

“[CSUSB pitcher Cassidy Lee] was just pitching me outside all day yes-terday, and I was just fouling it off, and not making too solid contact,” Granath said. “So I just got up to the plate and I knew it was coming.”

Senior Jennifer De Fazio cemented the Triton win with a single to right field, batting in Granath to record her fifth RBI of the NCAA tournament.

“They kept their composure,” Gerckens said of the seventh inning. “[Lesovsky] did a great job of just being patient at the plate. Taylor [Sepulveda] laid a perfect bunt down. Woofter does exactly what I ask in a hit-and-run, and Tess Granath doesn’t get any bigger than that. [De Fazio] finally made the adjustment, and that was a great third run right there.”

The Tritons will head into the NCAA Division II Softball Championship on May 26-30 in Salem, Virginia as the winner of the West Region. Along with UCSD, the eight team tournament will fea-ture Saginaw Valley State, Indiana (Pa.), Minnesota State-Mankato, Alabama-Huntsville, North Georgia, Midwestern State and the Triton’s first round opponents C.W. Post — the winner of the East Region. C.W. Post boasts a 41-14 record and entered the NCAA tournament ranked 25th.

UCSD’s first game is slated for Thursday at 12:00 p.m., 9:00 a.m. PST.

Readers can contact Rachel Uda at ruda@ucsd.edu.

Tritons Crash Out of NCAA TournamentBy Liam RoseSenior Staff Writer

BASEBALL—The Tritons were top-ranked, hosts and favorites, but this weekend it was not enough as the UCSD baseball team fell in the NCAA West Regional Championships and will not advance to the Division II College World Series for the first time since 2008.

The Tritons fell 6-5 to conference rival Cal Poly Pomona on Saturday and were eliminated from the double elimination tournament. The Tritons lost the first game of the tournament 4-0 to Sonoma State on Thursday and beat Western Oregon 6-3 on Friday.

UCSD hosted regionals for the first time this year, thanks in part to a fundraising effort that put sta-dium lights up at Triton Ballpark. The Tritons would have hosted last year, but were ineligible because of the lack of lights.

With the loss to Sonoma, the Tritons had their backs against the wall in the loser’s bracket, and had to win four straight games to take the regional title. After getting past Western Oregon, Pomona proved too much for the Tritons in a tight game.

The Tritons got on the board first, with an RBI single from designated hitter Michael Benton in the second inning. Triton starter Greg Selarz was roughed up in the early going, yield-ing four runs on a pair of doubles in the fourth inning. Selarz was pulled after 3 2/3 innings pitched and Elias Tuma — most often used as the Triton’s closer — was brought in.

UCSD tied the game in the sev-enth, as Evan Kehoe and Kellen Lee lead off the inning with back-to-back hits. Garrett Tuck had an RBI single to score Kehoe, and Danny Susdorf hit a sacrifice fly to plate Lee. A Danny Susdorf single brought in Tuck before the inning was over.

Pomona came right back in its half of the inning, as Humberto Tovalin scored from third on a field-ing error by Triton first baseman Blake Tagmyer. Daniel Simmons came into relieve and got the Tritons out of a bases loaded jam, but still trailed 5-4.

UCSD responded in the eighth inning, with the duo of Kehoe and Lee once again leading the way.

Kehoe produced a one-out single, and Lee doubled in the next at bat to bring him in.

Pomona once again responded in its half of the inning, as Chris Miller hit a double and was advanced to third on a wild pitch from Simmons. Designated hitter Tyson Edwards hit a shallow fly to center, but it was deep enough to score the run and the Broncos took a 6-5 lead.

Down to the wire, Kyle Saul hit a one-out single to bring the go-ahead run to the plate. But Aaron Bauman grounded into a game-ending double play and the Tritons’ season was over.

“It was an incredible season,” head coach Dan O’Brien said. “These guys had it tough early in that everyone was gunning for them. They faced a lot of adversity and put themselves in a position where they could back up what they’ve done in the last couple years.”

The Tritons finished the season 42-15 overall.

“I’m really just feeling for our senior class today,” O’Brien said. “Their career is coming to an end, but they have a lot to be proud of. I know we didn’t reach our ultimate goal, but I’ll tell you what, these guys are winners.”

The Tritons had won two con-secutive regional titles and fell in the national championship game last season.

“This senior class took the pro-gram to the next level, and took it to a national status,” O’Brien said. “Some of the guys are fifth-year seniors, so you’ve been to five regionals in a row, and those are the only five region-als in the program’s history at the Division II level. You’ve been to two college world series and you’ve been to the national championship game. These guys are going to be incredibly disappointed in the short term but as time goes on they’ll realize just how special they are and how much they did for this program.”

Against Sonoma State in the opening game of the tournament, the Tritons fell as Seawolf starter Kenny Arnerich tossed a complete-game shutout.

“We didn’t play very well,” O’Brien said. “That’s the bottom line, we didn’t play well tonight. Surprisingly, the guys felt pressure today. We haven’t

played like that in a couple months.” Tim Shibuya struck out 10 in

eight innings of work, but gave up four runs. The Tritons were 0-5 with runners in scoring position and had a runner picked off at third. UCSD loaded the bases with one out in the ninth, but Arnerich got out of the jam by inducing the Tritons into two straight pop flys.

On Friday against Western Oregon, Triton starter Guido Knudson threw an efficient complete game by allowing three runs on six hits, but none after the third inning.

“I was just determined to get it done and give this team a quality start,” Knudson said. “I was locked in, I was ready to finish this thing and get us to tomorrow.”

Aaron Bauman was three-for-four with two RBI and a solo home run to lead the Triton offense.

The Tritons had a rough start to the season, going 14-11 in the first two months. But the squad caught fire and recorded 17 straight wins to close out the regular season. The Tritons also won their third straight CCAA Tournament this year.

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES

UCSD is set to make its first ever appearance in the Division II College World Series as West Region Champions.

For the first time in program history, the UCSD softball team has advanced to the NCAA Division II Championship tournament after taking two games from No. 7 CSU San Bernardino last week in the best-of-three Super Regional series.

On Friday, the top-ranked Tritons capitalized on two CSUSB errors, scoring three runs in the third to claim a 3-1 win over the Coyotes in the series opener.

With two outs, senior Kris Lesovsky advanced to second base on a passed ball after being hit by a pitch to get to first. Freshman Taylor Sepulveda — who leads the team with 15 sacrifice bunts this season — chopped one toward third baseman Alex Mitchell. Mitchell, who had been play-ing close along

the left field line to defend against the bunt, bobbled the ball and overthrew to first, giving Sepulveda enough time to reach second and for Lesovsky to reach home.

Next at bat, senior Sarah Woofter popped up to right fielder Jamie Leffingwell in what should have been a routine out. But Leffingwell mis-

played the ball, allowing Woofter to make her way to second and for Sepulveda to score. Freshman Charly Swanberg singled through the left side — recording the Tritons’ only hit in the inning — to bring Woofter in to score.

The Coyotes had no response to the 3-0 Triton lead until the sixth inning, when

designated hitter Stefanie Pace knocked a solo home run to left
