Several A.S. Positions in Need of CandidatesNumbers of Early Contenders Usually SmallBy M ichael Abram son S tiff Writer___________

Associated Students Elec­tion Committee members anti­cipate a drastic increase in the number of candidates inter­ested in positions w ithin the governing body by the Thurs­day evening deadline, despite th e low num ber o f early declarations.

By Tuesday night, 13 decla­rations had been subm itted, nine of which were for execu­tive officer positions, such as president, internal and exter­nal vice presidents and exter­nal vice president for statewide affairs, formerly entitled UC Student Association vice presi­dent. As of press time, one de-

claration had been officially announced for the five rep-at- large positions and three for the 12 off-campus rep seats.

No students have declared candidacy for the three on- campus rep positions avail­able, or the single university- owned housing rep p o st

Proposed Legislation May Increase County Oil Revenue and Clearview Attractiveness

By M ichael Ball S tiff Writer

Several members of the Santa Barbara County Board of Super­visors expressed dismay w ith re­cent legislation introduced in the California state Senate call­ing for an increase in the share of county oil revenues.

The supervisors unanimously passed a resolution a t their Feb. 21 meeting calling for legislation to increase the county's revenue from all new oil developm ent The board expected its original language to be carried to Sac­ramento by 35th D istrict As­semblyman Brooks Firestone (R-Los Olivos), according to 1st D istric t S up erv iso r N aom i Schwartz.

However, on Feb. 24, state Sen. Ken Maddy (R-Fresno) in-

troduced legislation covering a much narrower scope of new oil development, specifically bene­fiting uie Mobil Oil Co.’s prop­osed Clearview drilling project, according to Mark Chaconas, aide to 3rd D istrict Supervisor BiU Wallace.

"The bill was changed,” Cha­conas sa id . "E ith e r M obil changed it or Maddy changed i t to make it a Clearview-centric bill, so that we wouldn’t get re­venue from other sources. As worded, only Clearview would be a project that would generate revenue for the county.”

Although 4th D istrict Super­visor Tim Staffel explained a lob­byist is not necessaiy to rally for the legislation, W allace believes the new legislation caters to the oil company.

"In my opinion, this whole thing is a big set-up for MobU,”

Wallace said. "I think Supervi­sor Staffel made an ass of himself tonight when he said that we’re doing fine without a lobbyist. Well, we have one, Mobil is our lobby.... If you’re into conspira­cies, this is certainly one.”

The original wording of the le­gislation passed by the supervi­sors was crucial, according to Chaconas. "The board passed a bill that was as broad a net as possible,” he said.

However, the supervisors may have been caught off-guard by the Maddy bill, according to Schwartz. "I think it’s im portant for every member of the board to be kept up-to-date on legislative action,” she said.

The bill could encourage local governments to give the go- ahead to unnecessary projects in

Supes Discuss Low-Cost Housing ProposalBy M ichael Ball Suff Writer

A low-cost housing develop­ment in Goleta was the focus of debate at the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday.

The proposed M ountain View Ranch Affordable Housing Pro­ject, to be located w est of W inchester C anyon R oad, would include 126 residential units, 63 of which will be low- cost homes, according to Marie Chaconas, aide to 3rd D istrict Supervisor Bill Wallace.

However, in its current form, the project does not meet the county's needs, according to Wallace.

"The problem is, in my opin­ion, that it’s not very compatible w ith the existing residences,” he said.

Although Wallace disagrees with the proposed development, he believes it will be difficult to deny low-cost housing at the site, due to area zoning.

"The previous board, under my predecessor Willy Chamber­lin , approved an affordable housing outlay,” WaUace said. "I don’t think you can say no at this point, but we need to find an alternative.”

The possibility of new resi­dents in the area could severely impact the Goleta Union School District, already economicallyfiressed, according to BiU Ans- ow, attorney for the d istrict

Anslow hoped the fiscal impact could be mitigated by the pas­sage of Measure B, a $28 million school bond designated for the improvement of district facili­ties, which was narrowly de­feated Tuesday.

Anslow also questioned the

county’s deuveiy of the project's updated Supplemental Environ­mental Im pact R eport The at­torney’s office received a copy of the report less than a week be­fore the board meeting.

“I would question w hether o r not this violates [m easures] which require a certain am ount of notice to affected agencies,” he said.

Possible negative side effects of the development include new projects to help m aintain adequ­ate county services to the prop­osed housing units, according to Tim MUano, Goleta resident

"I have several problems with the proposed development,” he said. "There’s a cumulative effect w ith this project due to sur­rounding proposed develop­m ent improvements.

The board moved to conduct further hearings on the project at its April 4 meeting.

HEADLINERSChief Executive Recommends Layoffs

SANTA ANA (AP) — B alancing financially s t r a p p e d O ra n g e County’s budget in the coming year will require 1,040 layoffs and elimi­nation of another 563 u n f ille d jo b s , th e county’s new chief ex­ecutive said Tuesday.

W illiam }. Popejoy, who was appointed to lead the county through bankruptcy proceedings caused by huge invest­ment failures, outlined th e cu ts an d o th e r budgetaiy recommenda­tions at an emotionally charged meeting o f die county’s supervisors.

“I wish to underscore the human costs,” Pope- joy said. "The county em­ployees who may be laid off did not cause the bankruptcy. Many have devoted their entire years to se rv in g O ra n g e County. This is not the

thanks they deserve.” The proposed job cuts

total more than 10 per­cent of the county’s labor force, now a t ab o u t 15,000.

County was plunged into financial crisis last year when its investment pool lost about $1.7 billion. The county later filed for bankruptcy.

C ities, schools and other governmental enti­ties that invested in the[>ool also suffered heavy osses, and have been

forced to make cuts in

services and personnel.Orange County offi­

cials have blamed the losses on M errill Lynch and other brokers, who they claim exploited for­mer Treasurer Robert L.

Citron by supplying him with risky investments.

“These b ru ta l cu t­backs should be laid at the feet of M errill Lynch and others who manipu­lated Mr. Citron,” Pope- joy said. “They knew full well that the financial schemes that ruined the investment pool were ex­tremely risky and could

cost the county dearly. Still, M errill Lynch con­tin u e d to s e ll th e county’s bonds. Their m otivation m ust have been pure greed to col­lect huge commissions and fees.”

M errill Lynch issued a s ta te m e n t say in g it shares concerns for the debacle’s hum an to ll. B u t i t sa id C itro n “created, directed and took full credit for” his own investment strate­gies and disregarded M errill’s warnings and offers to repurchase risky securities.

P opejo /s report to the supervisors also outlined severe cuts in services, including the closure of a t least six libraries, a large landfill and a youth center, a reduction in m ental health services and caseload increases for social workers.

Lesbian Professor’s Lecture Judge Rules Schools Cannot Instigates Harassment Claim Close to Reach Desegregation

SACRAMENTO (AP) — As he sat in class listen­ing to a psychology profes­sor give “now to” tips on m asturbation, show child­ren’s genitals and deni­grate male sex organs, C raig R ogers sa id he wanted to vom it

He stayed in class in­stead, then filed a $2.5 mil­lion sexual harassm ent complaint w ith the state of California and a separate co m p la in t w ith S ac­ramento State University.

Rogers, 33, contends the lecture by Joanne Mar­row violated a state ban on using sexually exp licit pictures.

The Board of Control, w hich h and les claim s against state agencies, re­jected his claim against the state, saying the m atter would be better handled in court. Rogers said he has not decided if he will sue.

His com plaint w ith the university remains under investigation, and Marrow

and university officials re­fused to comment.

Rogers, a father of two, said he listened to the lec­ture “wanting to vomit,” but insisted he’s not “op­posed to m asturbation, fe­male orgasm or anything

for that m atter.”He said Marrow, a te­

nured professor w ith 20 years experience, acted improperly.

“Im ag in e if a h o ­mosexual man gave the sam e lec tu re , an d he showed a bunch o f male organs, and said a bunch of derogatory things about women and a lot of bad jokes,” Rogers said of Mar­row, who is a lesbian.

OXFORD (AP) — Mis- sissip p i c a n n o t c lo se either a mostly Black uni­versity o r a mostly white w om en’s un iversity to claim it has ended its ra­cially segregated system of higher education, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

Instead, the state must establish one set of admis­sions standards for all eight of its universities, U.S. District Judge Neal Biggers ruled. They now vary from sch o o l to school, w ith less stringent requirements a t the Black institutions.

Furthermore, the state must redistribute many of its higher education prog­rams, particularly a t the graduate level, and spend about $30 million to beef up th e m ostly B lack schools.

The ruling came in a 1975 law suit accusing Mississippi of m aintaining separate higher education systems for Blacks and

whites, and seeking more money and better prog­rams for historically Black universities. The U.S. Jus­tice D ept, long critical of Mississippi’s educational system, joined the case.

Biggers ruled in 1987

that the state had done enough, but the U.S. Su­preme Court disagreed in 1992, and ordered Missis­sippi to remove all vestiges of the dual system, calling the predominantly Black institutions educationally inferior and underfunded.

Plaintiffs' lawyer Alvin Chambliss said Biggers’ ruling leaves “room for ne- g o t i a t i o n s a n d Im provement”

Concentrated Vegetable Pills Could Be Next Nutrition Fad

New York Added to List of States With Death Penalty

ALBANY, N.Y.(AP) —NEW YORK (AP) — Good news for anyone who ever choked down a pile of Brussels sprouts to earn a piece of cake: De­ssert could soon be just a pill away.

Vitamin companies are hoping to cash in on the nutritional value of veget­ables by introducing w hat could be the next rage in diet supplements, veget­able pills.

No one claims the pro­ducts will prevent cancer. Such claims could only be made for drugs, w hich undergo years of human tests.

But Leiner Health Pro­ducts Inc. and Pharmavite, both California vitam in makers, plan to m arket the pills.

Next m onth, Leiner will introduce three varieties under its Your Life label: b rocco li, sp in ach and mixed vegetables.

The products are tied to

recent studies on veget­able com ponents called phytochemicals, after the Greek word for p lan t

Phytochemicals protect plants from too much sun. Recent experiments in test tubes and animals have shown they can help curb

the growth of some cancer cells.

Leiner claims the pills contain key phytochemi­cals minus the w ater and roughage of vegetables.

"The whole thing is just a stab in the dark. That’s w hat it amounts to,” said Lee W attenberg, a Univer­sity of M innesota profes­sor of laboratory medicine and pathology.

Using the pens o f two slain p o lice o ffic e rs , G ov. George Pataki brushed aside 12 years of Mario C uom o’s v e to e s an d signed a bill Tuesday to make New York the 38th state with a death penalty.

He did so surrounded by the relatives of murder victims, law enforcement officials and politicians.

"O ur state has traveled a long and arduous road to arrive at this point in his­tory,” the Republican gov­ernor said. "That long road is now over. Justice will now be served.”

The state Legislature had approved capital pun­ish m en t b ills fo r 18 straight years, only to see them vetoed by Cuomo and his predecessor, Hugh Carey, both Democrats.

"It's a shame. Truly a shame,” Cuomo said Tues­day, acknowledging that opposition to the death

penalty may have cost him last year’s election.

The form er governor also said he hoped courts would find the new law unconstitutional.

“It’s from fear, anger, sh o rts ig h te d n e ss an d some cynicism com ing

together to overwhelm in­telligence,” Cuomo said. “It’s more than just sad, it’s frightening.”

Pataki had campaigned on a promise to restore the death penalty as one of his first acts. He signed the bill seven hours after it was passed by the state As­sembly early Tuesday.

Leg Council to Discuss Affirmative Action Bill

By M. JoUe Lash Staff Writer

In the final meeting of W inter Q uarter, A sso­ciated Students Legisla­tive Council will discuss and vote on bills address­ing Affirmative Action and a spring A.S. election bal­lot initiative.

Off-Campus Rep Bo Thoreen will present a bill which supports programs enhancing diversity, fo­cusing on the current Uni­versity section of the Cali- fom ia Affirmative Action policy. If approved, the bill will then be sent to public officials, University admi­nistrators, Gov. Pete Wil­son and President Bill Clinton.

The bill was drafted in response to the lack of di­versity a t UCSB, accord­ing to Thoreen.

"Anybody who thinks that UC Santa Barbara is sufficiently m ulticultural is wrong,” he said. “Any­body who thinks that Af­firmative Action is a moot issue has not looked a t the matter. We’re concerned that if Wilson and the boys go ahead and rescind the Affirmative Action prog­ram in California, they’ll be misleading people."

Recipients of the biU will be requested to send a letter stating their opin­ions on the issue, accord­ing to Thoreen. “We’re asking that aU the people who receive a copy of the bill to mail us a paper on their stance,” he said.

In order to allow stu­dents to voice their con­cerns regarding Affirma­tive A ction, an open-

m icrophone discussion wiU be held in Storke Plaza today a t noon, ac­cording to Thoreen.

A no ther b ill to be addressed was w ritten in opposition to an initiative passed by the council a t last week’s meeting, which would allow students to vote to eliminate the five rep-at-laige Leg Council positions.

“The main reason why I co-authored the biU is be­cause I think we should not lim it the opportunities for students who wish to be involved in their uni­versity,” said Off-Campus Rep Farsh Askari. “It’s basically taking a stance against the ballot initiative that's going to be placed on the election ballot.”

Also on the agenda, a bill concerning the Recre­ation Center will be sub­m itted by its author, Santa Ynez Rep Jennifer Brown. If the bul is passed, A.S. would be officially against allow ing non-university groups to use the athletic facility.

The bill is a follow-up to a Leg Council measure passed during Fall Quar­ter, which opposed {mow­ing intercollegiate athle­tics to use the RecCen.

“There’s going to be a late RecCen bill redefining our stance with respect to groups renting the facil­ity,” Brown said. “I’m proposing we advocate that any nonstudent or ICA group, none of them, should be able to rent the facility when the univer­sity is in session.”

Leg Council will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the UCen Fly­ing A Studios Room.

Testing can discover it before tragedy does!

What is Tay-Sachs?Tay-Sachs Disease is an inherited genetic disorder of infancy.

The affected baby develops normally until about six months old.Then, destruction of the nervous system begins and death follows by the age of four or five.

Am I a carrier?The carrier rate is 1 in 150 in the general population,

and 1 in 27 in the Jewish population. Carriers are normal and healthy, and most have no history of

Tay-Sachs Disease in their families.

Is my child at risk?If both the father and the mother carry the

gene, there is a one-in-four chance that each pregnancy will result in a child doomed with

Tay-Sachs Disease.

Can I be tested?A simple carrier detection blood test is available.

Testing is conducted at the Tay-Sachs Disease Program clinics and at outreach programs, but it is not available through physicians' offices, private laboratories,

or as part of the blood test required before marriage.

School Bond Falls by Slim MarginA bond designed to raise funds for the

improvement of Goleta Union School District facilities was narrowly defeated by voters in a special election held Tuesday.

Measure B, a $28 million bond issue intended to raise money for the upgrad­ing of classrooms, libraries and other district property, foiled to obtain the 67.7 percent required for passage. At press time, 4,468 ballots were cast in fa­vor of the measure, w ith 2,308 against— 65.9 percent to 34.1. Election officials reported all of the 41 precincts had been totaled.

Speaking before the votes were tal­lied, GUSD Superintendent Richard Shelton expressed hope that the mea­sure would pass.

"It makes sense educationally and also for property owners, since good schools can raise the property value,” he said. "The future of the district is riding on this measure.”

Shelton had predicted getting the two-thirds vote necessary for passage

would be challenging. "It will be very difficult, but it’s hopeful,” he said.

The school district will now reanalyze the election outcome and examine pos­sible solutions.

"My guess is that to solve our prob­lems, we’ll have to have another bonds issue,” Shelton added. “But it is a deci­sion made by the board of trustees.”

Included in the possible school reno­vations was a proposal for the develop­ment of an open lo t adjacent to Isla Vista Elementary School, across from Francisco Torres Residence Hall. Four to six acres of a 24-acre vacant lot would have been developed as a recreation field/children’s playground for use by both the school and community.

The future o f the playing fields is now unclear, according to Mark Chaconas, aide to 3rd D istrict Supervisor Bill Wal­lace. "As for plans for the project, we’ll have to make do with w hat funds are available,” he said.

will go toward community improvement projects, ac­cording to Off-Campus Rep Kns Cronin, the ef­fort's co-coordinator.

“It’s 50-50,” he said. “Fifty percent goes to an A.S. community improve­m ent fund, and die other 50 percent goes to die group selling the tickets.”

The organization that brings in the m ost revenue through ticket sales will receive a bonus in the form of a higher net share, ac­cording to Cronin. "There is an increase for the group that sells the m ost, it’s a 75-25 split,” he said.

While organizers con­sider the distribution suc­cessful so for, they are in the midst of increasing the number of participants.

“We’re probably up to about 20 different groups that have picked up tick­ets,” said Santa Ynez Rep Jennifer Brown, helping to o r g a n i z e t h e d r i v e . “There’s still a couple of students w e’re playing phone tag with.”

Those who enter the drawing through a ticket purchase will be eligible to win prizes donated from community businesses, ac­cording to Cronin. The top prize is a trip to Puerto Vallarta donated by Dean Travel.

The d rive’s success hinges on the num ber of tickets sold, according to Brown. “W hat we need is people to support the com m unity and buy a ticket for the drawing,” she said.

Students and members of the community who purchase tickets in volume will receive a rebate in the costs, according to Cole.

Applications Being Accepted for Overseas Study Program

T h e E d u c a t i o n Abroad Program is cur­rently encouraging stu­dents to apply to study in one of six participating Southern H em isphere countries for 1996.

BAP provides prog­rams in Australia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, New Zealand and two in Mex­ico starting in February, the beginning of their academic year.

“We are accepting ap­p lic a tio n s fo r th e se countries until May 12,” said Jennifer Ho, prog­ram assistant “We w ant to make people aware that there is still time and place to apply.”

Obtaining an educa­

tion overseas has many advantages, according to Ho.

“M arine biology is very big in Australia, and can provide opportuni­ties especially to envir­onmental studies majors and marine biology ma­jors,” she said. "There are resources there that are not available in Santa Barbara. There is also more research available and students can deve­lop contacts.”

Wake-Up CallDismissal of Wood Brings Home Sobering Message

______________Editorial______________If you were providing a needed service to the

community, and everybody voiced only positive com m ents about your performance, w ould you then expect to be let go?

Such is what unfortunately happened recently to W ill W ood, the UCSB P olice D ep t’s com m unity re­lations officer. H is w as a new position created six m onths ago, as part o f an experim ental foray by the police departm ent into preventive community out­reach. H e was put in charge o f developing and im ­plem enting educational programs in conjunction with cam pus groups and organizations. Some o f his areas of coverage included alcohol and drug aware­ness, sexual assault, personal safety and self- defense.

But because o f unexpectedly high payments accrued by officers working overtim e, budgetary pressures forced the departm ent to cut W ood’s pos­ition. W ithout the necessary funds, many o f the program s he started have b een suspended indefinitely.

UCSB P olice C hief John M acPherson acknow­ledges that the position w as added to the depart­ment on a temporary basis, and that the hinds would last for a year at m o st But it takes much lon­ger than that to see positive results from preventive educational programs. Human behavior and atti­tudes do not change overnight— it could take years for any noticeable crim e rate trends to occur. By ter­minating W ood after only six m onths, such long­term im pact w ill probably never take place, as the department now is back at square one.

The budget constraints M acPherson is working under are undoubtedly very rea l But over tim e, proactive community outreach may actually save the department m oney. O ne would hope that par­

tial funding exists w ithin the various organizations that W ood worked in conjunction w ith. This week alone, for instance, he w as to begin collaborating with Students Teaching A lcohol and Other Drug Responsibility, and give several presentations for the W omen's Center. This year, he also helped in iti­ate the neighborhood watch program at Family Stu­dent H ousing, which w ill continue despite W ood’s departure, but could no doubt benefit from his ex­pertise nonetheless. Could these and other prog­rams, including the chancellor’s discretionary fund, perhaps find and pool the necessary m onies it would take to retain W ood?

Additionally, W ood's dism issal should serve as a frightening wake-up call to students and staff on campus. By everyone's adm ission, W ood was doing an excellent job, malting an enthusiastic, positive contribution to the community, to the delight of various organizations he interacted w ith. Yet he w as nonetheless let go in the m iddle o f the year, and everything he worked so hard for is now left dan­gling in midair. The m essage sent out by this action is discouraging, to say the least, and can be best summed up as follows: N o matter how good a job you do, your position w ill still be in constant jeopardy.

But this issue goes beyond dollars and cents. Countless assaults, deaths and other tragedies which could have been avoided may now occur, as the police department’s focus shifts back to reactive measures.

Instead of looking for a short-term solution, i.e. term inating W ood, one would expect that more of an em phasis would be placed on finding long-term answers to the com plicated problem s which face our society. U ntil such action becom es com m onp­lace, w e w ill probably continue living with com ­m onplace crim e._____________________________

bate, noticing that the local chapter of Rednecks Anonymous (any group of five or more congregating males from Simi Valley) could only fight these wo­men by labeling them "feminist bitches” and lesbians and “bull dykes” — of course, by their definition, any man who was concerned with die rights of wo­men must be queer. This, however, was of no consequence. H ie righteousness of these women’s cause allowed them to prevail in the battle over sexism and gender insensitivity.

Amazingly, my last lesson (and I learn more and more every day!) came just today a t the Beachside Cafe. Two coaches, one a man and one a woman, were

eludes television and movie producers, pornography distributors and adver­tisers, not to m ention the weirdos who gawk a t women in bikinis w ith their tongues hanging out, and who see the world as though they had only one eye — tiie television screen. To these people, life is one big “Melrose Place.”

I’ve learned much about life and people since moving here to Santa Bar­bara. I’ve m et too many women who are far better people than I to ever see them as anything less than complex people with complex feelings. Woman­hood, the very power that brings even sexist male pigs into the world, should be respected in our culture above all else. I see the subjugation, I see the vio-

discussing coaching volleyball. The man said, “I was going to take the job coaching girl’s volleyball, but I didn’t think I could. I mean, I’ve always coachea boys and I’m not familiar w ith girls’ lim itations.”

The bemused female coach responded, “They have no limitations! That’s just it!”

An interesting and direct lesson, to say the least But being sensitized to the plight of women’s rights and the fight against sexism cuts deeper into my heart than sex education battles and being lacked in the nuts. Psychiatric hospitals are chock-full o f women with serious health conditions like anorexia nervosa and bulimia — women who were perhaps unable to achieve the figure and body shape that America in the 1990s demands of today’s women.

port of this? The central

argument was that graduate employees were not really real employees in need of parking. As the court decided in the case of graduate student employees attem pting to unionize in Berkeley, grad students are pri­marily students, not employees. The unstated principle leading to the conclusion being that if you are not primarily an employee (even if, as an employee, you w ork as hard or as long or as productively as a non­student employee), then you are not entitled to all the rights of non­student employees. If you w ork 50 percent-tim e and you are not a stu­dent, then you can purchase an S permit; if you work 50 percent-time and are a student, then you are not so entitled.

Need? M erit? Productivity? Effort? W hat is the justification for this allocation of resources? Frankly, the decision has the stench of unjusti­fied discrim ination to me.

Congressional Grandstanding Proves to Be Self-Defeating

John CorbettIt looks as though the 1996 presidential

campaign is in full swing. N o, I’m no t refer­ring to tiie newly declared candidacies of PhD Gramm, Lamar Alexander o r Dick Lu- gar. I’m talking about Thursday’s vote in the United States Senate, in which the highly publicized balanced budget am end­ment to tiie Constitution w ent down in de­feat, just one vote shy of clearing the two- thirds required for it to pass the Senate and head to the state legislatures for ratification (tiie House had already passed it).

In truth, the Republicans could have had the 67th vote if they had really wanted i t The dispute w ith senators like Byron Dor- gan of N orth Dakota, who otherwise sup­ported a balanced budget amendment, was over tiie Social Security trust fund. The controversy dates back to the early 1980s, when President Reagan cut marginal tax rates. Congress, though, addicted as ever to

This will come back to haunt future Social Security reci­pients, when the surplus diminishes over time and the “trust fond” will be exposed as nothing but a trillion dollars o r more of IOUs. Congress won’t pay that back — you’ll have to pick up the Social Security tab ... again.

This was w hat Senator Doigan and others were trying to put an end to by amending the am endm ent Republicans, instead of accommodating a sound fiscal and ethical policy, unloaded all their am­munition against Dorgan and other like- minded holdouts as tax-and-spend liberals who were doing anything possible to ob­struct the GOP effort to balance tiie budget Umbaugh, in a disturbing display of disregard form e facts, even w ent as for as calling them “liars.”

spending money it didn’t have, couldn’t bear the thought of losing that kind of re­venue. As a result, Social Security taxes — better known as PICA to anyone who’s ever gotten a paycheck— were hiked, and the ensuing surplus revenues, which were supposedly earmarked to go to a “trust fund,” were rerouted and spent on the budget deficit

In essence, taxes in tiie 1980s were not reduced, as Rush Umbaugh likes to em­phasize, but rather renamed. In the pro­cess, the trust fund has been gutted by irres­ponsible and unscrupulous politicians. The surpluses in Social Security revenues plundered by a deceitful Congress now total around $70 billion annually— which means our annual budget deficit is a t least

It’s just the same po­litics as usual. If our national debate doesn’t focus on substance instead of style fairly soon, we’ll never solve the problems that face this country.

OPINIONThe Reader’s Voice

Rough RoadEditor, Deify Nexus:

With America currently preoccupied imposing budget cuts and m oratona, I wish here to suggest an im portant area of government to trim . Let the Califor­nia Legislature impose a strict m orator­ium on Santa Barbara’s Cal Trims purchase and use of "Rough Road” signs.

Cal Trans in Santa Barbara would thereafter be forbidden to place these temporary signs a t each onramp of 101 as it goes through the county warning

MATT RAGLANDÆMÜ, N oua

motorists of the dangerous ride ahead should they be so bold as to attem pt to use this “freeway.” Denied use of these signs, Cal Trans would then be forced to consider two other alternatives as a ma­jor replacement strategy for highway maintenance.

First, Cal Trans supervisors might

consider the novel concept of employ­ing their crews in the process o f actually repairing the potholes in a perm anent manner. In this scenario workers clos­ing lanes of the freeway for pothole re­pair would be supplied with propane torch, hot, sticky mastic tar, not mix asphalt and a small m otor roller to engi­neer patches that could take the burden of traffic for more than a few hours. Ad­ditionally, they might undertake the work during periods of dry weather rather than m rainstorm s, which seems to be the present schedule. Gone would be the days when the same crews would close the same lanes for the same per­iods of time to scoop some loose cold mix into wet holes, relying on the speed­ing tires of loaded trucks to tam p it flat rather than knock it loose.

The second alternative approach would be to erect attractive Santa Baibara-style signs that would give per­m anent names to potholes or series of potholes, rather like the historical mo­num ent signs. Contests might be held to select the most clever alliterative labels for w hat the public might otherwise consider perm anent road hazards. Names identifying the nearest offramps, like “the Carnllo Craters,” “the Haley Holes,” “the Las Positas Pockmarks” or “the Glen Annie Gully.” Well-wrought naming would help travelers think more positively about this major north-south artery maintained with the surface char­acteristics of a Third W orld alley. An ad­ditional feature of this approach could be to paint the potholes w ith glow-in- the-dark m aterial so that drivers might at least be given some chance of avoid­ing them a t n igh t This might be done ar­tistically as well.

If the liberal use of “Rough Road” signs is here to stay w ithout any creative change, the Legislature should at least set up a fund to recompense motorists for all the blown tires, sprung suspen­sions, bent wheels and nighttime break­downs that result from the present situation.

HUGH CARROLL

Do Something!Editor, Daily Nexus:

I w ant to address all my fellow lazy students who have never gotten in­volved in anything a t school except for a few Gaucho sporting events and parties. We, the voiceless students who do not feel we should be out w ith CALPIRG* asking people to sign petitions and let­ters to our congressperson, need to get off our big, apathetic butts and do some­thing about the things that are destroy­ing our natural environm ent Projects such as Mobil’s Clearview, Arco golf course and the housing development in Ellwood need to be stopped. These can only be stopped by our actions. Yes, that’s right, we need to protest, sign those petitions and voice our opinions.

The UC regents are the ones who bas­ically rule many portions of our lives while we are here. They are taking away our fringe benefits and perics of our jobs, which is being students. We as students, employees and laborers need to voice our opinion and save w hat we have, to get the fringe benefits. O ur perks are not health insurance or a pension plan that can be bought and represented on paper. O ur health insurance is the clean, healthy air and environm ent and our pension fund is the availability and acreage of natural space.

The area next to Isla Vista, Devereux, Sands and Ellwood Shores needs our protection. We need to use the existing trails, not tread on plants or shoot ani­mals and birds with BB guns. The cliffs along Devereux and the whole area is the border of chaos and order. The na­tural area is in order, as God intended, and man is chaotic with his gridlike streets and houses. We can retreat into the natural order and enjoy the beauty of our surrounding environm ent

We must stand up and fight against the Big O il and developers who w ant to take away our fringe benefits for the sake of p ro fit We m ust strike, picket the big shots as well as our board, the UC re­

gents, when they w ant to destroy our pension fund. They are going to raise fees but we cannot let mem take this away also. I am not calling for ’60s radi­calism but a re-evaluation o f our values, motives and desires.

The cliffs in the Devereux and local beaches are beautiful, serene and hard to describe unless one has been there. We are the locals that m ust protect our

MATT RAGLAND/D.ÜJ N o i l

turf. But we are also educated, articulate and resourceful enough that we do not need to resort to violence but work within the system. We need to speak up while we are here.

I am graduating this summer and I will regret not ever have gotten to erase this from my TO DO lis t I see the great value of the land and am glad that I took the time to use most of my fringe bene­fits. We have all this right next to our campus and more beyond the hills and up the coast So all of us, quiet apathetic students who would rather sit in front of the TV: sign that petition, write that let­ter, attend those rallies, do something before they take away our health.

I love the music and the mirrored walls and the feel o f the wooden barre under my fingers and against my leg as I slide down in a long stretch. I even love the scent of leather slippers and rosin mingling with the cotton of dancer's leotards damp with perspiration.

But this quarter I decided there was just no way I could afford to give myself a dance class. It’s funny now the things I love are the first to go when I have too much to do. This happened in high school to o — when I quit bal­let for my senior year because I didn’t have the time. I fi­nally started dancing again this summer and I vowed never to quit again.

I had a strong w ork ethic theory coming into the quar­ter — I had no priorities. Everything came first the news­paper, writing news stories, my column, my four classes, my family, church, working on my book; and then came the sorority meetings, executive board meetings and events, and then came me. I figured my body would hold up and I could devote myself to getting a lot of things done.

This was effective, until I stopped giving myself even the most basic things, like time to eat and sleep. I started to think that if I got four hours o f sleep I was lucky, and if I got two or three hours that was enough. And then I storied getting depressed and wondering about even more basic things, like w hether I was going to make it all the way to class or to the office or up the stairs w ithout passing o u t I did interviews thinking, “just don’t pass o u t just concentrate on w hat they’re saying and you’ll be OK.”

I sat in front o f my computer, feeling it w ait for me to pound out some story o r paper. Soon I’d think, “It’s time to eat again. But I can’t spare the time. Maybe I’U make popcorn, but while I wait for five minutes I can’t be working on this.” So I’d w ork and w ait for the next meal to come around. And then I’d keep working. Eventually, it would be time to turn whatever it was in to whoever wanted it, so I’d stop revising and take it in. Somewhere along the way, I’d grudgingly grab something to eat. I fig­ured it was a good d ie t— since I wasn’t jogging or danc­ing anymore, I didn’t need to eat that much.

My senior quote in our high school yearbook was “I can do anything I w ant to; and if I w ant it, I will.” This quarter I think I’ve proven I can do anything anyone wants me to do, and I will, and I’ll do it as w ell as I can.

It seems like a pop psychology phrase to say, “Take care of yourself’ o r “Put yourself firs t” When people tried to tell me to do that m onths ago, I just laughed at them and said I couldn’t, and then left for my next meet­ing. But since my initial theory has nearly done me in, I have a new one: Take care of yourself o r you won’t be able to take care of anything else.

When I was in junior high school, our new neighbor came over to introduce himself while my dad and I were in the front yard washing the car. He asked w hat I was

DAVE KERMAN/D*fly Nexus

going to be when I grew up. My dad answered, “A la­wyer.” I answered, “A ballerina.”

There were the dreams of a child and the practical foresight and aspirations of an adult. I know now that I can never be a professional ballerina, but that doesn’t mean I can’t dance. I’m going to start taking classes again, and I have to keep my promise to myself never to stop. I hope.

I’ll tell you a secret I know w hat I w ant to be when I grow up. I w ant to be happy. I don’t w ant to miss out on the passion of life, the sweetness of i t I don’t w ant to be so busy getting things done that I don’t enjoy doing any o f i t life is more than a convenience or a series of events and chores. Somewhere under all the drive and determi­nation to succeed there are dreams to be followed.

coming into the office, and a lot of people have ver­bally confirmed to us that they are going to run.”

The candidate number is traditionally low until the deadline, according to A.S. Elections Chair Guil­lermo M artin. “According to chairs who have done this before and advisers, this is a lot because people procrastinate imtO die last day,” he said.

Internal Vice President Cheryl Contreras believes potential candidates delay officially declaring for a variety of reasons. While some w ait to find out the approximate total num ber of other students running for the sam e position, others work with other A.S. hopefuls to establish a tick et, according to Contreras.

“Some people m ight w ant to ru n onasla te ,” she said. “People w ait until the last minute to see if they

can get that together, to make sure that everyone w ill ru n co n sis te n tly throughout the entire elec­tion process.”

However, early candi­date declaration is useful to the Election Commit­t e e , a c c o r d i n g t o Contreras.

“From a com m ittee standpoint, it’s good to de­clare your candidacy early, ju st so the com m ittee would have an idea of how much more outreach and advertising we have to do in order to reach the stu­dent population and en­courage more students to run,” she said.

Contreras expects that most of those wno plan to declare candidacy will do so Thursday.

“W ith more people run­ning, I think we have a more interesting election,” she said. “We have a vari­ety o f issues being put out there, and it turns out to be more of a real election where people are actually accountable for w hat they are saying.”

invaluable, and encour­aged all those interested to apply.

“I f s the best experience of your life and a good grow ing experience. It forced me to be more out­going and accept change,” he said. “I initially applied for academic reasons, but I gota lot more out of it than just academics.”

Requirements to spend a year abroad includea mi­

nimum gpa of 3.0 and, when applying to a coun­try where a foreign lan­guage is spoken, students must also nave a 3.0 gpa in language courses taken, according to Ho.

An interview and a two- to three-page essay are needed to apply. Applic­ants m ust have jun io r standing at the time of departure.

Program applications are available in the EAP office in 1231 G irvetz Hall.

LIONSC ontinued from p.16

and Kathy [Peterson] got off the court in singles play and two players went into their third sets and two en­ded up losing,” the coach said. “[If we didn’t win the match] that would have been a disaster.”

The Lions thought they had a good chance to m ake th at d isaster for Santa Barbara a reality.

“We were in it really close,” LMU num ber two singles player Mara Col- aizzi said. "Three of the matches were really close

and I totally thought that we could beat them . I think they’re overrated.”

The Gauchos have had trouble playing with inten­sity against the unranked teams that they have faced this year. That has not been a problem too often because Santa Barbara has only faced five unranked teams this season, but it is something that Kirkwood is concerned about.

“I think that the team has a feeling that they don’t have to get moti­vated [against the lower- level teams],” he said. “I f s something that we can’t af­ford to do.”

U C S B D iv ers R ick A lte r an d M elissa U lm e r are____________ __ JF .m [ElNnci]IY ] pC1'ES

by M ichael Kohn

Teammate rivalries have long been a way of life in the annals of sports history. The intense competi­tion involved is often the lifeblood and driving

force between two com petitors.UCSB does not lack its share of fierce com petition.

But don’t go to the Events Center o r Campus Diamond to find i t The m ost heated rivalry looms high above Campus Pool between senior divers Rick Alter and Me­lissa Ulmer.

The story begins early in the 1993-94season, when Ul­mer first walked onto m e UCSB pool deck. She had just transferred from Palomar junior college near San Diego, where she had won die state diving championship on the one-meter board.

Ulmer took a little while to feel comfortable with Al­ter, who was entering his third season on the Santa Bar­bara squad.

"When I first came to the team, he hardly ever talked to me. Our diving team is very clique-ish, and it was hard for me to make my way into it,” she said.

After some time, the two divers’ friendship blossomed and they became the best of friends. They began to recog­nize and respect each other’s excellence in diving. They also found a sim ilar biting personality which became the spark for their relationship.

These factors sowed the seeds that eventually spr­outed into a very unique friendly rivalry. Punching arms and horsing around between dives were common when the two were not trash-talking to each other.

"Their relationship is w hat you might see between Greg and Marcia Brady, as there are some definite brother-sister overtones and a sort of sibling rivalry,” said UCSB diving Coach Jeff Stabile.

But all the big talk and razzing were simply a way to spur each other to achieve a higher level of diving perfor­mance. A nother factor in their progression was that each had a style which complemented the other. They both had certain qualities that the other desired and each in turn worked to attain these traits.

Both athletes quickly rose to the top of the Big West together. Ulmer surprised all by breaking school records in the one m eter/six dive and one m eter/11 dive events. Meanwhile, Alter was busy winning the first of two Gol­den Eagle awards, which recognized him as the top male student athlete on the team.

Not surprisingly, Alter and Ulmer finished off the sea­son by having equal success at the Big West Champion­ship m eet Both took first place on the one-meter board ana third on file three-meter.

The 1995 season proved to be even more of a test for both athletes. It started w ith a coaching change as Sta­bile took over for longtime coach and friend Mike Lewis. It was a difficult transition, particularly for Alter, who

Gaucho divers Rick Alter and M elissa Ulmer share a unique friendship and competitive spirit.

had grown extremely close to Lewis during his three years at UCSB.

Alter was so affected by the situation that he consid­ered quitting the team. Fortunately, Ulmer was there to talk him through i t

“I would have been so pissed off because he had come so far just to give up on himself, but I didn’t let him,” she said. "So I had a chitchat w ith him and told him how pissed I would have been and how I would have killed him.”

After things had settled down, the two got back on track and proceeded to tear up the Big W est competition. Many consider Ulmer to be the greatest female diver in

Gaucho history. She eclipsed her own single-season one-meter diving record and won nearly every dual meet.

Altar’s exploits were not only remarkable m his vastly improved dives, but also in his role as a team leader. He was file only four-year member on the team, and his knowledge and experience proved invaluable to the young squad.

"Rick has been a great asset to the team not only with his dives, but with his attitude,” sophomore teammate Dov Zimring said. "His presence out of the pool has helped to develop file skills of our younger divers.”

The Alter-Ulmer rivalry continued in the same way it had in the past, w ith each one failing to best the other, but having a great time while trying. Even a t this year’s Big West Championship meet, the two com petitors were an even match on both boards.

This season, however, both Gauchos were victorious not only on the one-meter, but also the three-m eter board. This marked only the second time in Big West his­tory that athletes from file same school swept the diving competition.

Through their teamwork and bizarre way of support­ing each other, Alter and Ulmer were deemed the best in the West. But the question still remains — is one better than file other?

In devising a way to possibly answer the unanswer­able, Stabile has arranged for a battle of the sexes.

The meet pits Alter vs. Ulmer in a head-to-head battle today at 3:30 p.m. a t Campus Pool. If Alter wins on both boards, Ulmer will give a speech describing her love and adm iration for him, and how he has made her the person she is today. However, if Ulmer is victorious, Alter will have to go to Seattle and compete with her in the Senior Diving Championships, a meet in which he had not wanted to participate. If they split the two events, both will have to perform the unwanted tasks.

The "Battle of the Sexes” will also serve as a fun­draiser. Stabile is hoping that donations by spectators will help Ulmer pay for the cost of getting to Seattle to compete in the am ateur event

Stabile and Lewis are predicting a split in the competi­tion, w ith Alter winning on one-meter and Ulmer taking the three-m eter event Both athletes have conceded the other’s superiority on the respective boards, but they have also indicated they will not let themselves get swept.

"She has a breath of life on the three-m eter, I will grant her that,” Alter said. "But I am going to eat her up and spit her out on the one.”

No m atter what happens today, the feet remains that the friendship and bond between these two competitors will never die until one says "uncle.”

Fat chance of that happening.

UCSB Ends Victory Drought With 6-3 Win Over Loyola Marymount

By Steven Large Stcff Writer

The UCSB women’s tennis team did something Tuesday that it hasn’t done in nearly a m onth — it won a match.

H ie Gauchos, now 3-10 for the year, beat Loyola M aiymount a t home 6-3.

"It sounds kind of conceited to say, but they’ve never been a tough team to beat, and they weren’t a tough team to beat to­day,” UCSB junior Amelia W hite said. "It was agood game, it felt good to geta win.”

White took over at the num ber two sin­gles spot for senior Lynn Coakley, who was playing a t the num ber one singles spot in place of the Gauchos’ premier ten­nis player, junior Jean Okada. Okada sat out of singles play in order to rest her sprained ankle.

She did play in her doubles m atch, however, where she and Coakley won 6-7, 6-3, 6-0. But according to UCSB

Head Coach Pete Kirkwood, Okada was only able to play a t about 60 percent be­cause of the injuiy.

It was White’s first time playing in the number two singles spot for Santa Bar­bara. Although she won her match 2-6, 6-0, 6-3, White wasn’t satisfied with her play.

“I didn’t play the best,” she said. "I was a little sluggish because I’ve been working out so much.”

The win against the unranked Lions will not give the Gauchos a large boost in the rankings because it was a game they were expected to win. Had they not won, however, Santa Barbara’s reputation as a top tennis school would have gone down even further. Basically, UCSB had no­thing to win, but a lot to lose.

The win wasn’t w ithout some nail- biting moments for Kirkwood, however.

“There was a time after Lynn [Coakley]

Gauchos Head to Sin City Hoping to Deal #5-Ranked UNLV Rebels a Pair of DefeatsBy M ichael CadiUi Stoff Writer

The Gaucho softball squad heads back into battle today as it storms into Las Vegas, hoping to shoot down the #5 Re­bels in a twin bill starting at high noon.

Although the Univer-

sity of Nevada, Las Vegas (15-3 overall, 2-0 in Big West) has dominated the overall series w ith Santa Barbara 27-13, and also sw ep t the G a u c h o s (7-11, 1-3) earlier this season in a double- header, UCSB has won three of its last four games on the strength of s o l id p i t c h i n g a n d

defense."W e’re hop ing to

come out hard and come away with a split,” so­phom ore catcher Mi­chelle Ray said. “I think the team will keep mov­ing forward. It’s impor­tant for us to play well.”

Junior pitcher Stacy Atwood (4-6) leads the squad on the m ound,

having lowered her ERA to 3.52 and raised her batting average to a team-leading .281. So­phomore hurier Megan O’Brien (3-5) will also hit the mound on a hot streak, having only given up three earned runs in her last 13 innings.

“They [Atwood and O’Brien] are definitely improving,” said Head Coach Liz Kelly. "I think we played them tough the first time we played them . We shu t them down for 11 innings be-

fore they took the game over.”

On Feb. 11, Rebel p itcher Amie Stew art (9-1) gave up only two runs in 14 innings to UCSB. She has a 2.56 ERA heading into the weekend with 57 strike­outs and 51 hits in 71 innings.

"We know we can hit her,” Kelly said. “She throws a change-up, but we’ve seen i t ”

"It’s definitely an ad­vantage having seen her before because now we

know w hat she throws,” Ray added. "I expect that we can h it the ball hard.”

The Rebels are led at the plate by 1994 second- team All-American first baseman Cyndi Paras, who continues to assault opposing pitching with her .434 batting average.

Santa Barbara will be w ithout junior infielder Wendy B aertsch ig er, who left the team last week. Kelly said Baerts­chiger wanted to concen­trate on her academics.
