Senate muII.s over abundance of interim jobs

By Amaya Wiegert Daily Staff Writer

Interim President Don Kissing addressed the issue of a surplus of in-terim staff members again on Klon-day during San Jose State llniversi-ty’s Academic Senate meeting.

I ie said he told the universitv’s administrative ream in a prior :neer-ing that skeptical opinions with re-gards to interims and their tenta-tive roles were, with all due respect, a "dumb" stare of mind.

"We’re in charge of’ ourselves," Kissing said. "We’re dependent on our own power, our own experience and I feel very comfortable with the people I’ve asked to come in.

Kissing added that the universi-ty could not stand still between now and the summer 011’2006 when a new president is scheduled to come in.

During the meeting, the senate passed a resolution that called upon Kissing to work with the senate’s Executive Committee and immedi-ately fmin a tusk force to develop a set of priorities that will help reduce the division of intercollegiate athlet-ics dependence on the university’s general Mild.

According to the resolution, the Task Force’s plan should enable the division to function by the academic year 2007-OS with an allocation from the general fund that does not exceed 2 percent of the university’s general fund base budget.

Both Kissing and the Execu-tive Committee will determine the membership of the task force and a report is to he given to the commit-tee in Klay 2005, according to the

SJSU hangs up on enrolling via phone

By Michelle Ochoa Special to the Daily

Students who shy away from using the Internet to register for classes will no longer have the option of registering over the telephone starting in the Summer 2005 semester.

The Interactive Voice Response telephone registration system is be-ing closed down because of cost, lack of overall use and because the Peo-pleSoft Internet registration system offers more features for students, said Marilyn Radisch, who works in Common Management System Project Student Administration Project Management.

"First of all, there’s a cost involved with maintaining (the touchtorte telephone registration) system," Radisch said,

The cost in manpower and the dine it takes to keep the telephone registration system current with the Internet system were factors consid-ered, Radisch said. Every time an update was made within the database used for registration it had to be carried over to the telephone registra-tion system, she said.

"Only about 3 percent of the students use it exclusively," Radisch said. She also said only 5 percent of the total registration comes from these students.

"(Interactive Voice Response) can only handle a small amount of the information we make available to students via the MySJSU portal," Ra-disch said in a prepared statement. "We want to encourage students to

Hanukkah a time for festivities By Jennifer McLain

Daily Executive Editor

For some, early December repre-sents a time of frantic shopping and kitschy but contagious carols. But for those celebrating Hanukkah, this time of the year might actually be is relief

"It is a more informal holiday than the others," said Vanilla Sande’, pro-gram director of Hillel of Silicon Val-ley, explaining that Jewish holidays, such as Passover during the spring and Rosh Hashana and Tom Kippur in the

fall are more intense and formal, "(Hanukkah) is a very minor holi-

days" said Sandel, who recently’ moved to San Jose from Buenos Aires, Ar-gentina.

Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish holiday that starts on the 25th day of the Jewish month Kislev, which means that it could rim as early as November but usually starts in December.

The holiday conunemorates the historical victory of a very small -army of -Maccabees Against the Syrian army invading Palestine in 165 B.C., Sue

Alaltiel, the executive director of Hil-lel of Silicon Valley, said.

"It is a celebration of religious free-dom," she said.

Hanukkah is one of the few Jewish festivals that brings attention to the Jewish community; said Dylan Smed-er, a member of the Jewish Student Union at San Jose State University.

"It’s telling the world that we’re still here and that we’re proud to be Jewish," Sineder said.

"Hanukkah is the only Jewish hol-iday where you have people saying,

’Look at me, I’m Jewish,’ " Smother

"i’-�1,Vhile Hanukkah commemorates the victory, its rituals come out of a less historical but more miraculous story.

The miracle happened following the destruction of the Holy Temple in ’ancient Jerusalem. When the Jews re-turned to the temple, they found only enough oil to last one day, but when they lit the menorah, or holy candle-

Photography exhibit showcases emerging artists

Digital media graduate student Mike Weisert watches the video portion of Stacy Dixon’s "What Would it Matter?" project in gallery 2 of the Art building.

Art students craft photo, video and sculpture projects throughout semester for biannual show

By Leah Nakasaki Daily Staff Willer

At the end of a long semester, stu-dents frotn two photo classes titled Im-age and Idea, taught by Robin Lamer, are presenting their works of art today and on through Thursday from ’9 a.m. to. 5 p.m. � ’�

There are two galleries where the stu-dents will be displaying their work: k,tal-lery room 2 and 3, located on the first floor or the Art building.

The Image and Idea Biannual Photo Based Art Exhibition, as it is formally known, is the one project this class works on throughout the semester, said Lasser, an associate professor of art and design.

This exhibit has been taking place for approximately 10 Years, Lasser said.

"This is one of the biggest shows of the semester," she said,

Lasser, . who said she is usually the professor who teaches the course said she gave the students A lot of leeway for this assignment in order to �achieve an end re-sult of many unique pieces of Work.

Lasser said having access to the two galleries to display student’s artwork helps the artists prepare themselves for other gallery shows.

Lasser, who is also a photographer, said she would not be displaying any of her art pieces in the galleries.

"There’s no rootn.There are too many other fabulous artists," she said.

Hank Ketelsen, a senior art major with an emphasis in photography and one or the artists who has his work dis-played in gallery three, said he wanted to do something involving sequences for his piece,

For his project, Ketelsen mounted two skateboards just above a small television on the wall of gallery 3. The skateboards were positioned one under the other on the will with their undersides displayed,

Ketelsen used an adhesive to attach photos to the bottom of the board or a skateboarding sequence in which he meshed images of one male skateboarder and scanned the pictures together to form one photo.

While shooting the film for this proj-ect, he also shot live footage of the se-quence of events and displayed it on the television, sitting just beneath the boards.

"(Ketelsen’spiece) kind of reminds site of a video game," said Danny Sanchez, a senior .photographymajon- ��� � , � � � -�

YES Aforeign-born president could bring perspective to improve foreign policy.

Citizens in America are lucky to live in such a land of opportunity. But some Americans limit their opportunities because of the phobias that exist in

this country� homophobia, germophobia and the phobia of foreign-born people. That’s why when California "Governator" Arnold Schwarzenegger hinted at the

possibility of amending the U.S. constitution to allow foreign-born citizens to be President of the United States, some started questioning whether this would be a good idea.

But after looking at the candidates for the presidential election one month ago, America could use a little diversity.

After all, for such a "progressive" country, America should have a leader that has an appreciation for worldviews other than an American worldview. Imagine that in-stead of a Texas-born president, we had a president born in the Middle East. How would U.S. relations change with some of these countries? Would they improve? Probably.

A foreign-born president would have an immediate advantage with these coun-tries because it would be able to understand cultural attitudes of other regions as well.

But besides expanding America’s global framework, a foreign-born president could also make a statement about who Americans are.

Currently, a majority of our presidents have been white Protestant males. While the majority of Americans are white, this is shifting. When the time does come that America’s population is, for example, 39 percent Asian, 28 percent His-panic, 19 percent white 10 percent black and 2 percent "other," it should only be natural to have a leader that represents these numbers.

However, when it comes down to it, we should be choosing the most qualified person for the job. If this person happens to be foreign, they too should be able to lead. It could have helped in this election.

And sure, there are some things to consider. First, foreign-born leaders can already be-

come president � that is, if they were born on a military base, according to Title 8, Chapter 12.3.1, Section 1401 of the U.S. Code. That aside, America shouldn’t be afraid to have someone "foreign" lead the country. Just as Schwarzenegger was able to become governor, there would be rules. In California, a candidate running for gov-ernor is simply required to be a U.S. citizen, naturalized or by birth, and a registered voter, according to election materials from the California Secretary of State. As presi-dent, foreign-born candidates might be expected to reside in the United States, say, for 20 years.

In addition, we shouldn’t assume all foreign-born presidents would have lived in another country for most of their lives. They could have just lived there for two years and then immigrated to the United States with their parents.

And then there is always the potential that, for example, a Chinese-born presi-dent is writing policies favoring Chinese and Chinese Americans. But isn’t this what we see from some presidents anyway � catering to a certain sociaVracial/gender class for reasons including getting financial backing, getting re-elected and paying back favors.

So, at the very least, our threat is we would get a politician becoming president. There is also the concern a foreign-born president would not bras knowledgeable

about laws, the United States in general or American ideologies. But, obviously, if the person running for the highest position if the United States,

he would likely have had the necessary education, probably from America. At San Jose State University and colleges across America, students are urged by

their mentors to travel because it will expand their understanding of how the world works, expand their interests and expand their knowledge.

A foreign-born president would bring more good than bad to such an arrogant country as the United States.

"Yes. A foreigner becoming president is like saying a woman

"No. The president should have America’s best interest at heart."

NO The American president should be

someone born in the United States. Baseball, apple pie and Superman � these are all-American originals. One of the greatest testaments we have as a people is we are able to retain the

great traditions of outland. The peaceful transfer of power from administrations and political parties has

also become one of the most reliable American traditions. Just like changing the rules of a baseball game or adding experimental in-

gredients into apple pie, changing the ground rules for electing the President is something that may seem beneficial, but ultimately changes the time-tested pro-cess,

Remember, Superman wore an electric-blue leotard and sported "improved" powers for awhile, and the changes made him something he was not � the man no longer matched his message.

In this same way, the founding fathers of America, in all their wisdom, decided the American president should be someone who was born in the United States.

They understood someone of genuine American descent would be the most qualified to lead the people of our nation because their loyalties would lie primarily with American and not with some far-off motherland.

The founding fathers left us a message in the U.S. Constitution that told us, in plain and simple language, how to run our government.

This has given us the greatest society on earth complete with a leader who sways the free world.

In this day and age where people in the world look to America for leadership, it would be inappropriate to suddenly change policy to include foreign-born American citizens be-cause it would confirm what other nations would call flaws in our system.

There are many things the leader of the free world has become, but the most fundamental thing is through and through, that person is an American.

Within our nation, only a native citizen would be able to unite people from the diverse parts of our land.

Only an American-born male or female can command the respect of people in the North, the South ancl the West.

A foreign-born citizen would always draw questions from people in the nation if their administration favors the country of their birth.

We do not need yet another reason to draw lines of separation down the middle of our country, and at this time, with worries of homeland security on the minds of the majority of our people, we do not need an expensive and time-consuming leg-islative battle to change our system that already inherently works.

For any foreign-born American citizen who would like to change the way oar government works, there are many other leadership opportunities to fill to keep America working.

Influence on the government can still be achieved in numerous ways that are vital and needed to keep our system fresh.

Someday it may become important and even necessary to change our policies, but at this time, with so many more pressing matters to worry about regarding the health and safety of America, what we already have is more than good enough.

HOT DAMN

, 2004 OPINION SPARTAN DAILY

Genuine artwork requires sacrifice to be heartfelt The territory of art criticism is dangerous water, its not a

place anyone can go without at least being bumped by a shark, causing a light mist of blood to swirl around a leg and darken the surrounding sea.

The so-called artists themselves are. the ones who bite the hardest. They hide their jagged, yellow teeth behind their Paintings and books, compact discs and films. Then, when you lower their art away ti-urn their faces, they lash out,

Though artists themselves are constantly subjected to bru-tal tortures -from. executives wearing green suits glowing with the faces Of dead presidents, they are more than eager to turn against their own when they feel they have been disparaged.

The difference between ah-obbyist and a true artist is the true artist sacrifices some part of his being. It is not enough to simply play a few chords on the guitar and lament about how the hooded sweatshirt he ordered the other day had been lostin the mail. His fingers must bleed in the process, the strings sawing into the tips and leaving flakes of dead skin plastered to the fret board.

Viewers need to see the blood caked in the brushstrokes of the painting. The lines must be excruciating, every contour painful and torturous.

The film must be shown on a screen made of the artist’s skin, a show of devotion to the movie from the filmmaker.

Without such honest self-abuse, the art is no better than a novelty napkin at a birthday,, a cheap, plastic imitation of an executive’s dream to gain more money.

Cover songs and textbook-fashioned man-uscripts only perpetuate the selling power of already degenerate pop culture. This is not art, for its sole purpose is to sell itself to the VICWCI’S

and listeners. Its creators have sacrificed nothing but the capital to get it rolling.

Ernest Hemingway probably felt Isis ab-sinthe-soaked brain cells dripping out of his eye sockets to land on the paper where Ile arranged them into

JOHN MYERS

metaphoric stories. On the other hand, the books at the super-market -checkout stand are made of bubble-gum smeared across

the pages. They are useless carnival prizes worth - little more than the saliva the writer drooled on his keyboard while typing the words.

,

The true artists would not let anything .get in the way of making an excellent piece, espe-cially not the shiny, crisp dollar bill, the totem of shallow prostitution and corruption. They would sever everything � a career, a degree, a love life, a life period for that one important work. The integrity will not at all go unnoticed, for the blood will still be dripping and the skin will still glow a pale white.

Of course, such sacrifice does not need to be physical. Social sacrifices are just as deadly and painful. The artist could be cast out front the

� depths ofacceptance, dissociated from the guild and left to rot among the soggy leaves clogging the drainage

grates in the gutter. Though the artist may not have felt any pain through the

act of creating, he does receive the black eyes of social ostra-cism, and they are dark as they hover just above his cheeks. He sacrifices friends, lovers, human contact; all of these are just as painful as lopping off a limb, searing a hand with a branding iron or filling an inkwell with warm, congealing blood.

Nleanwhile, the fake artists those who whittle plastic into pieces of pop culture� are safe and secure in their man-sions, accepted by the public. They sleep on beds with golden posts, and the true artists get nothing but bruises and sores.

Letter: Schools named after cities not worse than state schools Dear editor,

I guess Michael Harold is correct, San Jose is not a state, and colleges like City College of New York, named after a city, Oxford University, named, after a city, and San Diego State, named after a smri, are not really good colleges at all. Of course, Mr. Flarold is not really a very good advocate as well, as he seems to believe our football will win games, the homeless will be fed, and everyone will have spiced cider and good hammies if we change the name of the university.

I -low about Harold State? That is bet-

ter. I mean, we have Associated Students leadership and management that cannot abide lay state laws or state constitutions; so if we change the narne to CSU, Sari Jose, Maybe they will think they are part of California and will agree to follow the same laws as all the other parts of the university have to regarding open meet-ing laws and public record acts.

How about Harold State, where we will be able to wear the same paper hats as the Go State Brigade when they insist that colleges named after cities, like the University of Milan, or the University of Paris, or the University of Chicago, are

not really good schools at all? I know, we should have elected Mr. Harold to the position of court jester, as he insists that we must abandon San. Jose as a point of prestige and walk around the maypole Singing "Gp State, Is la la."

Cart we talk about the war in Iraq, or the Michael Jackson case from now on? This CSU name change stuff is making us all ill,

check the portal regularly, especially now that fac-ulty and staff will be able to leave messages for them online."

Radisch was referring to the new feature that will be added to which would allow students to send and receive messages between faculty and staff directly through MySJSU.

Another feature that will be available is genet" al education progress tracking, Radisch said. Cur-rent features include financial aid information and grades from previous semesters, she said.

Students said they had mixed reactions to the telephone system’s closing.

"I would stick with the Internet," said Sam Ghebru, a graduate physics major. "Computers are everywhere, Internet access is everywhere now."

Rozina Kifle, a senior industrial technology major said both the PeopleSoft and the phone sys-tem had their advantages.

"I think (the Internet system is) faster," Kifle said."If you’re not at home, touchtone is easier."

Other students see no problem with eliminat-ing the telephone system.

"I find it to be easier," said Daniel Cuellar. Cuellar also said he had problems at first with

the PeopleSoft registration system. "At first I didn’t like (Internet registration) be-

cause it was kind of complicated," Cuellar said. However, he said he has been using Internet regis-tration exclusively since it became available.

"There are a lot of other things you can see," said Cuellar about the advantages of the Internet system.

"I didn’t know there was (a telephone system)," said Tristan McHenry, a freshman industrial de-sign major. He said he uses the Internet because it’s more convenient.

Katie Voegtle, a freshman environmental stud-ies major, said she believes the Internet system is good. She said she never used the telephone system and did not see a major problem with its closing.

messy to make it seem as if the dogs had written them.

Martinez said she came up with the idea for her project from her own experiences as a child.

"My dad would bring home a puppy and a couple of months lat-er would get rid of it to the pound," she said.

"The apologies stem from the rea-sons why he did it," Martinez said.

Some of the problems that she had while working on this assign-ment were working with the sheet metal and having to re-shoot her pictures.

"I had to go back to the pound three times," she said.

Martinez said the idea behind her project was to make people more aware of the issue and maybe think twice before taking their pets to the pound.

In terms of the location of the gal-leries, Martinez said, "I think this is a good location because students can come by to check it out in between their classes."

Amy Keene, a senior art major with an emphasis in photography who is also displaying her work in gallery 3, said she took pictures of a local band from Fremont called Mi-nus Vince.

For her project, she nailed a black shelf to the wall and arranged two small black speakers on either end of it along with a red, plastic com-pact disc holder displaying six com-pact discs of the bands newest work and a CD player with a Minus Vince CD in it for visitors to hear what the group sounded like.

Just above the shelf, she displayed a collage of photos and phrases in ref-erence to the band on a cork bulletin board.

The dominant photo on the board was one that she took of the band. The way it was taken makes it seem as if the viewer is looking up at the members.

The board also flaunted phrases such as "Cute Band Alert" and "Mi-nus Vince is hot."

"I wanted it to look like a teenie-hopper’s room," Keene said.

She said the reason why she de-cided on incorporating the band into her project was to show both sides of each of the member’s personali-ties, such as their lives as members of the band and their lives outside the band.

Keene said she also took the front and back pictures on each CD case. The front picture is of each of the band members outside of band prac-tice and on-stage, and the back pic-ture is of each member performing.

She said she interviewed each band member in order to get a feel for their personalities outside of their band lives.

Keene said this was fairly easy to do because her boyfriend is the bass player for the band.

"I love doing performance pho-tography," she said in reference to shooting pictures of performing art-ists.

Keene said during the semester, Lasser arranged for two critiques of each class’s projects in their progres-sive states.

"We got to see everyone’s work in progress," she said.

Sanchez was one of the proctors for gallery 3 on Monday.

Sanchez, who also had his work on display; said a lot of people have been passing through the galleries to view the student’s artwork.

For his own work, Sanchez mount-ed four pictures framed in fluorescent pink in a vertical row. In each picture, he blended images of women from magazines with images he had taken of Barbie dolls.

"Originally my idea was a com-ment on the reality based plastic sur-gery shows," Sanchez said.

Sanchez took different, up-close shots of Barbie dolls such as those emphasizing a doll’s stomach or her

’legs, making it seem as if the dolls were models posing for him.

"It felt like my dolls were trying to become real," he said.

Sanchez said he chose pink frames for his photos because the color is so closely linked to the Barbie label and package.

Gina Aveni, a junior interior de-sign major who was passing through gallery 3, said she liked the way many of the photos incorporated photog-raphy and other mediums into their work.

"I think it adds more depth to the

presentation," she said. Aveni said she comes by the gal-

leries every once in a while to check out the galleries and see the latest art on display.

Donna Daguman, a senior digital media major, said she heard about the gallery from one of her professors.

Daguman said she thought the lo-cation of the galleries was good be-cause they are easily accessible to are students. She also thought that the lo-cation was good for the artists as well because she said she has been to other galleries where heavy pieces of work were on display, making the artwork difficult to maneuver when setting up.

Siegel, who is also a senior digi-tal media major said, "It is one of the more diverse galleries I’ve seen."

In terms of the location, Siegel said, "If you don’t walk through the Art building you aren’t going to see

An official opening of the gal-lery will be held today front 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in galleries 2 and 3. Friends and family members of the artists are wel-come to come to the reception to view the artwork and have refreshments.

TUESDAY

HANUKKAH

stick, the candles lasted miraculously for eight days, Maltiel said.

For Sandel, the lights represent a very personal rotation.

"When we light the candles during the eight days, we increase the num-bers of candles that are lit," she said. "It is like you make each day shine a little bit snore as you light each candle. Each night there is more energy and more happiness."

Sandel, who will spend her first Hanukkah in the United States, said the celebration in Argentina is very different than in America, largely be-cause it is more popular here than in Argentina.

"In Argentina, it is a small holiday. We don’t emphasize giving gifts there, but we gather as a family," she said.

Sandel said because it is summer in Argentina when Hanukkah is com-memorated, many of the students are on summer vacation.

"We miss the opportunity to cele-brate with friends," she said. This Ha-nukkah she will spend the time with her friends in San Jose, she said.

Because Jews come from many dif-ferent countries, Maltiel said, just like Christmas, there is no set way to cel-ebrate Hanukkah.

She said it is common, however, for small gifts to he given each night to family members, such as chocolates or "gelt," Yiddish for money. But because of the commercialization of Christ-mas, Hanukkah in America has shift-ed, Maltiel said.

"In America, Hanukkah has be-come a big gift-giving holiday," she said.

Maltiel, who has also celebrated

resolution. After much debate over phras-

ing and word usage, the senate also passed a resolution recommending a specific strategic planning process for SJSU, including the formation of a Goals Advisory Council and Univer-sity Planning Council.

Both councils were amended to include at-large faculty members.

A budget report for the 2004-05 year was also presented at the meet-ing.

Rose Lee, interim vice president

Hanukkah while in Israel, a Jewish state, said besides not hearing Christ-mas carols, there are several differenc-es with how Hantildcah is celebrated there compared to in America.

"Most people live in apartments there, and you just see menorahs in all of the windows. It is beautiful in its simplicity," she said.

Maltiel said that she celebrates Hanukkah by lighting the meno-rah, which holds nine candles, repre-senting a candle for each day and a "shamish," or "helper candle,’ which lights the other candles, Maltiel said.

Maltiel said during the time the menorah is lit they should not do any work. She said she also shares stories with her children that touch on such issues as freedoms and commitments.

Smeder, who does not consider himself religious, celebrates the Jew-ish holiday by spending time with his friends, light the menorah and play dreidel games, a game that often in-cludes gambling with candy.

During Hanukkah, it is also tradi-tional to eat oily food such as "latke," or potato pancakes, and "sufganiyot," or Jelly donuts, he said.

"It is traditional to eat oily food to represent how the candles stayed lit for eight days," Smeder said.

At SJSU, the Jewish Student Union will host "A Hanukkah House Party" today front 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Paseo de Cesar Chavez. Smeder said the event will have a 15 -foot meno-rah and it will be open to Jewish and non-Jewish students alike. The Hillel House, located at 336 E. William St. will light else menorah each night dur-ing Hanukkah at 6 p.m., Sandel said. All members from the community are invited to come, she said.

for Administration and Finance, said the university is holding $3.7 mil-lion as a reserve against not meeting its revenue.

"On a budget of $219 million, having a budget reserve of S3.7 mil-lion is not bad," Lee said.

Lee said the athletics department had its share of a $14 million budget re-duction and that the department’s rev-enues did not meet its expenditures.

The final budget for the 2005-06 year will be passed in late June or ear-ly July of 2005, Lee said.

The next Senate meeting will be on Feb. 28, 2005.

PAGE 6 SPARTAN DAILY P Spartans make a charge at Toreros

By Kevin Yuen Daily Staff Writer

The Spas tans will face the Univer-sity of San Diego for the second time this season at 7:30 p.m. at the Event Center.

- MEN’S BASKETBALL �

IN THE

PAINT � NOTEBOOK �

In their Nov. 27 encounter, San Jose State University, whose record is 3-2, beat the Toreros, 71-70, on a shot by forward Marquin Chandler with 2:08 left in the game.

"We’re playing a confident team," said Toreros head coach Brad Hol-land. "They’ve won some close games, including our game with them. We know that they play very good de-fense."

Spartan forwards Chandler and Alex Elam combined for a total of 45 points in the Nov 27 match.

"Chandler and Elam really had their way with us in San Diego," Hol-land said. "So we’re going to need to do a better job on them."

Guard Michael McFadden said the fact the teams have faced each other already might make the match even harder.

"But it kind of makes the team a little more focused, knowing we played this team before, knowing what they are capable of offensively and defen-sively" he said. "We have to be more aware and we can’t go into this game like we already beat them."

However, Elam added that the fact the Spartans know about the Toreros’ style will help them tailor their game plan.

"We pretty much know who their go-to guy is, what they’re going to do on offense and defense," he said. "It helps is lot the second time playing, but I think we need to be even more prepared this time."

In the past, a zone defense has been problematic for the Spartans. In games against the University of the Pacif-ic and Santa Clara University, both

teams utilized a zone defense to even-tually garner wins against SjSl 1.

However, SJSI.I’s zone defense nightmares seemed to pass during the Saturday game against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, when the Mustangs needed to revert back to man -on -man coverage after being scored on multi-ple times.

"Since we’ve started, from game to

game, we’ve gotten better at handling the pressure and playing and mov-ing the ball against zone," McFadden said. "So I know as the year progress-es, we’ll continue to grow and mature as a team."

McFadden said the coaching staff is still tweaking with the starting line-up.

"They’re somewhat still fiddling

around with the offense just to see what we got, coming off the bench, and a few different guys’ performanc-es," he said.

McFadden added that the coaches modify each lineup according to each team they play

"As a coaching staff, as far as the starters go, that’s probably a game time decision," he said.

UC Davis makes trip down to San Jose

Team still distraught about Santa Clara loss

By Sara Spivey Daily Ste- Writer

After scraping by with a one-point win against the University of San Francisco on Thursday and giving up a one-point loss to the Santa Clara Uni-versity on Friday, senior guard Erica McGlaston said the Spartan women’s basketball team is hungry for a win to-night against UC Davis.

� WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

OFF THE

DRIBBLE NOTEBOOK

"We have a few goals that we set as a team, and that’s what is keeping us motivated," she said.

The Spartans will face the Ag-gies, who lost 90-42 to Santa Clara on Monday, at 5 p.m, tonight in the Event Center.

McGlaston said the Spartans had a few mental breakdowns on Friday, which gave Santa Clara the lead, but she said she the team’s energy will be high tonight, and they will be ready for UC Davis.

"We’re not going to let anyone come in our house and just take it from us," she said. "They’re going to have to play it to the last second like they did (on Friday)."

San Jose State University’, 3-2 for the season, put out a great effort against Santa Clara on Friday, and the loss was very disappointing to the team, said head coach Janice Richard.

"They’ll learn from this loss. They don’t want to feel this way" she said. "They’re going to go out and cut down on the turnovers, they’re going to get the stops when they need them."

Senior guard Jessica Kellogg said Friday’s loss came in part because of the fast defensive switch the Spartans had to put forward against Santa Clara in response to the Broncos’ strong 3-point shooting.

"It was different for us," she said. "We did adjust pretty well, but we could have done it faster."

Senior forward Lamisha Au-gustine, who scored a .season-high 21 points on Friday, and freshman center Amber Jackson have been car-rying the team so far this season, Rich-ard said.

"I’m just excited about the way they’re playing," she said. "I just see us getting better every day."

Another veteran player, Kellogg, has to cut back on her playing time be-cause of persisting knee injuries, Rich-ard said.

"(Kellogg) is definitely hurting," she said. "Her knee is bothering her and it’s hard to see her out there and not be able to go 100 percent."

Doctors have limited how much Kellogg can play, and she was on the court for just 17 minutes on Friday.

"It wasn’t because she’s playing poorly, she said. "It’s just she’s not healthy right now."

Richard said there are certain sit-uations in the game where she needs to put in Kellogg because the team needs a veteran player and leader on the court.

"Definitely her teammates have a lot of confidence in her and having her Out there kind of calms us down a little bit too," Richard said.

Finding someone to fill Kellogg’s shoes is a difficult situation, she said.

"We just have to get somebody ready to play," Richard said.

Richard is grooming freshman guard Lindsay Harris, who played 24 minutes and scored eight points in Friday’s game, to step in and eventu-ally take over for Kellogg.

"(Harris) has stepped up and she’s playing well right now," Richard sod.

Harris said she is up to the chal-lenge.

"I’m working on it," she said. "I’m having a good time doing it."
