DESCRIPTION
Volume 96, Issue 10TRANSCRIPT
The San Diego State women’s soc-cer team lost the game, but left thefield Sunday afternoon feelinggreat.
“We’re very happy,” senior for-ward Michaela DeJesus said. “Thatwas our best game all season.”
SDSU invited one of the mostdominant teams in college sportshistory to the SDSU Sports Deckon a hot Sunday afternoon thatbrought a record-setting atten-dance. The No. 1 North CarolinaTar Heels (6-0-1) beat the Aztecs 1-0 in a close, hard-fought game thathad SDSU feeling proud.
“I could not be happier unlesswe won the game,” head coachMike Friesen said.
The Aztecs (2-4-2) showed theirconfidence from the opening whis-tle. Immediately, SDSU mounted acharge down the right side of thefield, proving that it could competeagainst the top team in the country.The attack was stopped by theNorth Carolina defense, but theAztecs kept the pressure onthroughout the game.
The Tar Heels were able to nettheir first and only goal just 10minutes into the contest when for-
ward Kealia Ohai received a crossfrom Alyssa Rich. Ohai shot theball on her first touch and foundthe back of the net.
SDSU had its first real chance afew minutes later off a free kickfrom midfield. The ball was playedin front of the goal where itbounced as Aztec sophomore mid-fielder Marisa Fraticelli tried to get afoot on it. The North Carolinakeeper ran out and grabbed the balljust before Fraticelli could touch it.
The remainder of the half wasevenly played and highlighted bygood defense. The high-poweredTar Heel offense was held to onlythree shots while SDSU stayed com-petitive and managed two shotswithin the first 45 minutes of play.
The second half was also adefensive struggle. Neither offensehad a scoring chance until the 54thminute when the Aztecs pressedforward. Sophomore defenderRachael McGlinchy kicked the ballacross the field where she foundDeJesus uncovered. DeJesusplayed it forward with her chestbefore blasting a shot from 12yards out. The North Carolinakeeper dove and batted it out ofthe way to save a goal.
“It was a nice ball and I hit itsolid,” DeJesus said. “I just didn’t
hit a corner.”SDSU had a final opportunity
with just 15 seconds left.Freshman defender HaleyPalmer’s effort was stifled by TarHeel goalie Anna Sieloff, andNorth Carolina was able to escapewith a one-goal advantage.
The Tar Heels expect to winevery game they play. They havewon 20 of 28 national champi-onships, including the last two.The Aztecs were able to hold thedefending national champs toseven shots, their lowest totalsince 2007, and senior goalkeeperAubree Southwick credited theirimpressive play to execution.
“They are such a goodteam,” Southwick said. “But wehad a game plan and we exe-cuted it perfectly.”
SDSU has had a tough sched-ule to start the season, playingthe Nos. 1, 6 and 9 teams in thenation. Friesen believes this willbenefit his young team as theseason continues.
“We grew up today. We haveconfidence,” Friesen said. “Nomatter who is on the schedule,they’re not North Carolina. Wecan play with any team in thecountry.”

September 14, 20102 OPINION
acebook stalking has seriouslybeen updated to Peeping Tom sta-tus. While one of the major func-tions of Facebook is its seeminglyunlimited potential to share per-
sonal information, the border of commondecency was crossed without the possibilityof amnesty when Facebook unveiled itsnewest program: Facebook Places.
According to Tech Crunch, FacebookPlaces was launched on Aug. 18 and hasthree purposes: “(To) help you share whereyou are. Help you see who’saround you. And see what’sgoing on nearby.” Essentially,this application lets you knowyour friends’ physical location andvice versa. Thanks to previouslyestablished foursquare and Gowalla,one would think the GPS mobilelocation niche is so been there, donethat. While that’s true, the release ofPlaces makes headlines because themothership of social networking recog-nizes the legitimacy of mobile-locationtracking and has an audience of 500 mil-lion people now with the ability to use it.
If ever the “dislike button” was needed fora Facebook feature, your friends and yourfriends of friends should tag
Places. In fact, I’d put both thumbs down.According to the Facebook FAQs page,
here is how Places works: You access it viayour iPhone or touch.facebook.com. Click“check in” using your current location andselect the “place” you are. You can write adescription of your experience if desired andyou can “tag friends with you” at the current
place if your friends’ privacysettings allow it.
Places threatens pri-vacy and security
rights, ironically diminishes social interactionand doesn’t have the consumers’ best interest.
When privacy and security camps arealigned next to each other, they are usually inopposition. Take the Transportation SecurityAdministration’s screening process. Privacyadvocates say the excessive patting down ofpassengers is invasive and simply provides anillusion of safety. Security fans shout back it isa necessary evil and believe, myself included,a full body scan is the best option.
Concerning Places, it is a double wham-my. Both privacy and security are compro-mised. When friends, family and employ-ers know where you are, they also knowwhere you are not.
Dan Olds from Gabriel Consulting Groupasks, “Would you want a wide number ofpeople to know that there’s no one home atyour house? If you play hooky from work, orgo to the beach rather than your mom’s birth-day party, you might want to steer clear ofusing Places at least for those days.”
When you are doing something, the task,time and place are sacred. Not to preach tothe choir, but living in the moment isimportant. Even though Places is an option-al feature, the fact that it is offered infringeson this concept of alone time and thus pri-
vacy and self-security. While you would think Places
increases social information shar-ing, it actually decreases it.
No longer do you
have to call or text where you are, whatyou’re doing, or at what time you’re doingsomething. You already know Jimmy was at4.0 Deli on Montezuma Road 30 minutesago with Jack and Jill, and after reading hisdescription, that he liked “The Godfather”sandwich, no mayo. The, “Hey what’s uphomie?” text is no longer needed.
Facebook’s best interests aren’t yours.First, the privacy settings are anything butclear and that causes suspicions. As Reutersreports, “One of the criticisms of Places isthat opting out isn’t as simple as clicking on a‘no thanks’ kind of button,” and features like“Friends can check me in to Places” are bydefault enabled, requiring you to disablethem. Second, Facebook’s business modelrequires it to constantly provide more infor-mation-sharing applications. Facebook is likeWikiLeaks in this matter, more informationout there is better. Third, as Newsweekpoints out, Facebook users are productsthemselves sold to advertisers. Places FAQseven has a “How does Facebook Places bene-fit advertisers?” section.
While Places is optional, it is an exces-sive feature not needed in today’s ADD cul-ture. If I really need to know where you are,I’ll text, call, e-mail, Skype or tweet you.Sometimes not everything needs to beshared with the world.

Facebook Places threatens personal privacy

Returning students may notice a change thissemester, when passing along CampanileWalkway. Those bright green lines are part ofa yearlong bike lane trial facilitated byAssociated Students.
Dr. Geoffrey Chase, dean of undergradu-ate studies at San Diego State, said the bikelanes offer an alternative for students to getto and from campus.
“It’s a great example of what studentleadership can do when they set theirminds to initiating and follow(ing) throughon a project that really benefits the wholecampus,” Chase said.
After a year of trying, the bill to create bikelanes on the SDSU campus was passed in
March of 2008. After the bill was passedthrough the University Affairs Board andA.S. Council, A.S. appointed a landscapearchitect to assist with the construction ofthe bike lanes. According to the bill writtenby A.S., the dependence on vehicles willhopefully decrease by adding bike lanes onand around campus.
A.S. President Grant Mack has been work-ing on getting this bill passed for three years,since he was a freshman. Mack elaboratedon the benefits of having bike lanes on cam-pus and how increasingly sustainable andaccessible they are, as well as manageableand inexpensive.
“There’s a lot of students, faculty and staffthat live only a mile or two from campus thatdrive to school and I’m just like, ‘Are you kid-ding me?’ That’s so expensive. You have tobuy a parking pass, you have to get here earlyand there’s traffic,” Mack said. “If we hadviable bike lanes, you can just bike from yourhouse to here.”
The cost of the student-led initiativeincludes the paint, lockers, racks and labor. Ifthe one-year trial is successful, A.S. plans tobuild more bike lanes around campus.
Although there are only stickers on the bikelanes now, if it becomes official, a red paintedstain that will blend in with SDSU will offi-cially mark the bike lanes.
“Capital projects are not cheap,” Macksaid. “It’s not going to be a hundredbucks. It’s going to be in the thousands.Labor is the biggest expense.”
The policy for bicycles and skate-boards was that it was not permitted toride either of them throughout SDSU.Now, students can bike or skateboardfreely through the designated bike lanes.
“It’s expensive when a public safetypulls you over saying you’re not sup-posed to (be) biking or skateboarding oncampus and you can get a $150 ticket,”Mack said. “That’s ridiculous, for skate-boarding on campus? That’s not right.”
A.S. is currently working on conduct-
ing a study to test how many people are usingthe bike lanes every day.
“Up until now, I think they have beenworking fine,” Dan Zuzuarregui, a senior atSDSU, said. “People have definitely utilizedthem. The only problem I see is a lot of pedes-trian traffic in it and that causes some back upwith the actual bikes and the skateboarders.”
In accordance with the safety concerns,so far there have been no injuries and fewerthan 10 complaints.
At 10 a.m. this Wednesday, businesses willvisit SDSU to give, sell and educate studentsabout bikes and skateboards. At noon,President Stephen L. Weber will make anappearance, biking down Campanile Walkway.
For more information, students are free togo to the Bike and Skateboard Access SafetyStudy at as.sdsu.edu/greenlove.

won’t forget April 17. Or Ican’t. The pillars holdingup what I knew all fell atonce, that comfortablepattern I saw in the regu-
larity of every day.It started in an art exhibit
downtown. I walked down a hall-way toward warm light and arhythmic beat and stood in front afreestanding wall. I came to a darkroom and a repeating video.
A girl in a red dress was danc-ing alone in a club with her armsup. The people sitting at the tablesand lounge chairs talked aroundher like she wasn’t there. I crossedmy arms and leaned forward tosee her face through her darkhair. Her eyes were closed softlyand she was smiling to herselflike my sister did when she sleptagainst the car window.
The sound of wind beyondthe freestanding wall grew to adull howling when I stood in thecenter of the next room. Morevideos ran on the walls, givingoff a faint white glow in a roomwithout lighting.
I didn’t know if there was sup-posed to be a sequence, so I start-ed clockwise at nine.
The video ran a close-up of anold woman near a lake bed. Shewas a mother, holding her starebeyond the frame, against some-thing. Fear. The video cut.
The old woman now sat on abench far off in the distance. Thegirl in the red dress was standingin wetland grass by the lake inthree different places at the sametime with her arms outstretchedagainst the wind. The dress clungto the shape of her thighs and herchest. The sun broke through darkpluming clouds.
The next wall held a funeralprocession. People — no, a family— stood together in the sandholding hands as a priest readaloud from the Bible. She stoodin the middle, in her red dresslike she was really there. Farbehind the ceremony against thewaterfront there was a dab ofred. The scene cut.
Two men from the funeral werecarrying her on a stretcherthrough the sand where she sathunched forward, limp and pale.Angel wings poured out from herback, spilling over one man’s grip.
Her head was bobbing, lifeless.Sharp laughter rang out frombeyond the freestanding wall.Someone had tied a blindfold overher face and it clumped her hairover her eyes like a curtain. Thatfeeling came up into the back ofmy throat and spread to my neck.
On the third wall, an imposingtree with thick shaded boughs.There she was, two of her, strungup from the high branches by herfeet with her wings drawn tightaround her like a blanket.
The film cut. A close-up on herface. Eyes open and staring back.My God. Her wet hair dangled inthe broken light through theleaves. The frown was that samesmile, turned on itself. I lookedaway and swallowed.
The last wall. I was standing atthe calm edge of a lake lookingthrough a clearing to the stillwater and the low set clouds. Thewind screamed. She was floatingface down, drowned and nakedwith her skin bloated and herwings spread. Christ. I clenchedmy fist in my pocket and exhaled.
In the late afternoon on thepeak of a low mountain not toofar north, my roommate stoodnearby looking west. The sun hadcome through the textured under-belly of the clouds and lit up alake with the reflection. He said itwas Lake Hodges, where he’ddone some reporting on a memori-al walk for Chelsea King. It hadn’toccurred to me we were in Poway.
I brought myself back weeksbefore, to the hours I spent in myapartment writing a piece for thenewspaper about what happenedthere, about the rape and murderand the other girls.
I had looked up John AlbertGardner’s photograph before writ-ing it. His face said nothing ofwhat was done. There was a blanklook in his eyes, nothing behindthem but a departed memory ofthe killing. She was nothing.
Those events, those which onlyhe could know, were still trying tobuild themselves up and fill in thevoids left with the piece I’d writtena month and a half later. It was
unknowing, loose threads weavingthemselves together in an attemptat some makeshift resolution.
By the car, I was fixated onhow close we were to where ithappened. I didn’t want it pullingat me anymore, the bold terror ofviolence like that.
Much of the surroundings ofthe lake had been burned by a firesome years before. Dead, nakedtrees stood in the shallow wateragainst the sky. It would be darksoon and my roommate and I hadalready walked the broad path ofthe lake for some time. I wouldnever be back. I knew that.
Off the path in a knot of brushthere was a dab of orange. A bal-loon ribbon strung up. Another.They led us to a circle of sandenclosed by a chamber of talltrees tilted inward, leaving a ringof open sky. Footprints wereeverywhere in the dry lakebedbefore we stepped in.
A Ziploc bag hung on a branchat 12 clockwise across the circle. Asheet of paper, preserved: “May weresolve that our thoughts, wordsand deeds not add to the darknessin the world, for it was darknessthat took Chelsea away from us.May God give us the strength tocarry out this resolution.”
I started blinking fast and mybreath staggered. I read it again.
“Tom.” He stood through the brush
looking down. The space on theground enclosed by placed sticks.My stomach turned on itself.Crosses. A teddy bear. Flowerspouring over the plot of earthonto the branches. Her photo-graphs. Her smile. Wilted roseswere strung up from the branches.I shifted my weight. Shaking. Thesun broke through the dark plum-ing above. Oh god. I put my handover my mouth and steppedtoward the water. I was standingat the calm edge of a lake lookingthrough a clearing to the stillwater and the low set clouds. Thewind screamed. God no. God.
