LGBTQIA RESOURCE CENTER / COURTESY
LGBTQIA RESOURCE CENTER / COURTESY

LGBTQIA Resource Center continues Crafternoons every Friday.

There is something soothing about sitting and taking the time to start a project, whether it be knitting a scarf, beading a necklace or painting a masterpiece.

If you want to unleash your inner crafter or hang out with a great community of welcoming people, be sure to attend the LGBTQIA Resource Center’s Crafternoons, held every Friday from 12:30 to 2 p.m.

The tradition dates back to a time before the Student Community Center (SCC) was even built and the LGBTQIARC was housed in a small cottage near South Hall. Crafternoons have come a long way from those humble beginnings, as attendance numbers have continued to grow.

Hazel Quintanilla, a fourth-year human development major and former community intern at the center, previously served as the head of Crafternoons. Quintanilla explained that the scope of Crafternoons has changed since its inception.

“In the years before, it was more of a social justice, political [forum],” Quintanilla said. “There [were] heavy topics, but for me, the last two years I made Crafternoons more about a fun place for people to come on Fridays to hang out.”

Crafts vary each week. Past projects have included beaded bracelets, Game of Thrones themed dragon eggs and a handprint mural, which proudly hangs in the resource center.

Crafternoons is attractive to students because it is free to attend, as second-year psychology and French double major Gianna Carelli pointed out.

“There’s not a lot of places on campus that do this other than the craft center, but this one’s free as opposed to the craft center where you have to pay a lot,” Carelli said. “It’s a good outlet.”

Mat Talton, a fifth-year genetics major, is taking over as head of Crafternoons. Talton hopes that Crafternoons provides a space to de-stress and make new friends.

“Generally a lot of people don’t know each other and if they’re talking about crafts and helping each other, it provides a way to make some cool friends,” Talton said. “I hope it’s a good way to meet people. If you’re a new student here, [Crafternoons is] somewhere to come and hang out and have fun.”

Clara Malloy, a second-year neurobiology, physiology and behavior major, said she enjoys coming to Crafternoons to reconnect with friends each week in a stress-free area.

“It really does help get rid of stress for me and I also get to see people who don’t always come into the center because of classes, so it’s nice to see the people that come back each week for Crafternoons,” Malloy said.

Some people that are new to Crafternoons were drawn to the event because of the community atmosphere and central location on campus.

ASUCD Senate holds first meeting of the school year

On Oct. 1, ASUCD Vice President Gareth Smythe called to order the first senate meeting of the year at 6:14 p.m in Memorial Union’s Mee Room. All senators were present at roll call with the exception of Miguel Guerrero and Gabriel Johnson, who both arrived late.

The meeting opened with a series of appointments and confirmations.

It began with Smythe swearing in new ASUCD senator Brendan Chang, who took the seat of former senator Anabiah Syed, who resigned her position the day before.

Senator Alex Lee was re-elected as the senate pro-tempore by a 6-3-3 vote. Lee promised to increase his staff in order to further develop his platforms. Specifically, he mentioned updating the Senate Handbook and implementing a guidebook about managing units under ASUCD.

Senate confirmed the seats for two commissions. Ivon Garcia was confirmed as the chair of the Gender and Sexuality Commission. Danielle Soba, Francisco Gomez, Helia Aryan, Christian Nesbitt, Gaby Preciado and Melissa Zamora were confirmed as members of the Ethnic and Cultural Affairs Commission.

The meeting then moved into committee appointments for the senators, followed by two presentations.

One was made by Deputy University Librarian and Chief of Staff William Garrity. Garrity asked the senate for the creation of a formal sub-committee to help voice student opinions concerning the library. He hopes this committee will enhance the current assessments being made by the university to renovate libraries on campus.

Garrity has had extensive experience with upgrading several university libraries in the country, including ones at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago.

Afterwards, third-year sociology major Eddie Holzman spoke on behalf of the HeForShe campaign to propose a campus-wide discussion on gender equality. Holzman specifically suggested implementing an informative YouTube channel concerning relevant gender issues, and using Youtube to spread awareness of water conservation.

The table then introduced two new pieces of legislation. First, a bill which would benefit the Student Alumni Association by adding an optional payment system that would charge for membership fees every quarter. Additionally, the senate introduced a bill to make initiative ballot measures more accessible.

In response to ASUCD’s efforts to merge units, the senate also passed an updated version of Senate Bill #80. The new bill would formally combine the Campus Center for the Environment and Project Compost by renaming it as the Ecohub.

The meeting ended with a series of public announcements. Smythe announced the arrival of Passion Planners and Watson announced the start of ASUCD’s 100th campaign. It was adjourned at 9:30 p.m.

Aggies go through double overtime in game against CSUN

After out-shooting and drawing more corner-kicks than their competitors, the Aggies ended their 110 minute conference game without a single score.

“We have just been focusing on being tactically flexible,” Head Coach Twila Kaufman said. “It just comes down to what the other team gives us.”

Fresh off a win over conference competitor Cal Poly on Oct. 1, the UC Davis women’s soccer team faced off against California State University, Northridge (CSUN) on Sunday, Oct. 4 in their second match of conference play.

The Aggies started the first half of the match with some tight aggression. Although they held possession of the ball for the majority of the first half, CSUN was able to leverage more of their minutes into actual scoring opportunities, leading UC Davis by one more shot on goal at the end of the first half.

The second half of the match opened with some aggression on behalf of the CSUN women’s team. This aggression was a bit overzealous, as CSUN’s Lindsay Kutscher received a yellow card for a foul against freshman forward Crystal Crump. An incredible save by CSUN’s goalkeeper made sophomore Mandy McKeegan walk away from the opportunity without a goal.

The Aggies took the yellow card to heart, swiftly taking tempo of the game and getting possession of the ball.

This control of the game went on as junior midfielder Ashley Kawasaki took the ball all the way down to the outside of CSUN’s box. CSUN’s Christina Nixon only stopped Kawasaki when Nixon fouled her hard enough to earn a yellow card. The penalty shot quickly converted into a corner kick off a deflection by a CSUN defender.

With only ten minutes left on the clock, the Aggies had to make this corner matter. McKeegan blasted the ball in towards junior midfielder Andi Damian, whose shot went wide off another deflection and turned into a second round of corner kicks. CSUN’s defense yet again repulsed this scoring opportunity.

However, with Crump passing to junior forward Rachel Smith, the Aggies were able to take another run at the victory. After blocking a shot once, CSUN’s keeper was out of position, making another shot by the Aggies a sure thing — if it were not for a completely vertical high kick by a CSUN defender blocking the goal.

In a final drive by UC Davis, Crump and Smith tried to work their magic a second time, but Smith’s shot was a little off center. Regulation play ended without a score, moving both teams into a first sudden death elimination period of ten minutes.

First Overtime

In the opening movements of the first overtime period, an errant ball blasted into senior Haley Hughes face, causing her to be subbed out on account of a bloody nose. While Hughes was dealing with her minor injury, the Aggies were able to attempt their first corner-kick of the overtime period.

Unfortunately, the corner-kick was not converted and CSUN quick took control of the ball. Four minutes into overtime, CSUN presented their only scoring opportunity of the period. Their shot went high and the UC Davis counter-attack provided Smith with a third scoring opportunity.

In a heartbreaking near miss, Smith was unable to secure the goal and the game. The final three minutes of the first overtime passed without fan-fare.

Second Overtime

CSUN decided to change up their defense for the final ten minutes of play, coming off the starting whistle with a full press against the Aggies. This aggression played to CSUN’s advantage, yielding them two scoring opportunities after a failed attempt by UC Davis.

With two minutes left in the period, a drive by CSUN would have spelled defeat if it were not for an amazing leap by redshirt freshman goalkeeper Alexis Smith.

The match ended in a 0-0 tie.

The Aggies continue with their conference play leading the Big West standings, and are facing two away games at Cal State Fullerton on Oct. 9 and UC Riverside two days later.

Local programs inform the public about honeybee populations

Bees are one of the most important insects in communities all over the world; they are essential to plant growth, food production and ecosystems. Although this is mostly common knowledge, many people are still unaware that these fuzzy little yellow creatures are on the decline.

On Oct. 2, the Haagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven had their fall open house in their office on Bee Biology Road in west Davis. Open to all members of the public, the garden showcases what local foliage can do for bees around the Davis area.

“[Haagen-Dazs] had two goals,” Garden Director of the Honey Bee Haven Chris Casey said. “One was to provide forage for the bees at the research facility next door, and the second was for events just like this — to educate the public.”

The open house served as a resource for gardeners and bee supporters from all walks of life, the turnout ranging from groups of high school students to more experienced horticulturists.

“The public sees examples of plants they can have in their own gardens that will be useful for bees,” Casey said. “They can also get ideas for bee houses for cavity nesting bees, the importance of leaving bare ground for ground nesting bees and to get an appreciation for the range of crops that rely on bee pollination. We like to say here: if you like to eat, thank a bee.”

Pollinators of all different subspecies buzzed through the garden while Casey and other volunteers provided informational packets, a raffle and interactive booths for the visitors.

“We really want folks to get out here and learn about bees and take advantage of this resource,” Casey said. “It connects people with their foods in a way a lot people don’t think about.”

Casey took gardeners on a grand tour of the garden which included fall blooming flowers and shrubs native to California.

“The complete list of plants in the garden is on the website,” Casey said. “I also have shorter lists for say, someone who wants really low water use plants or plants that can grow in the shade.”

From stone fruit trees to pumpkins and daisies, each plant can attract a different species of bee. Professor Emeritus in the nematology department Robin Thorp has been conducting research on the populations of crop pollinators and native bees in the area since 1964, long before the garden was created in 2010. A significant amount of these species can now be seen in the Honey Bee Haven, thanks to the diverse planting and different modes of habitation offered there.

“If you plant flowers, you will bring in bees, but in order to keep the bees around, you’ll have to provide habitat for them to nest as well,” Thorp said. “A good bee garden is going to have bloom that lasts for a long while and some bare ground around somewhere for the bees to nest. That’s where we get back to the bee gardens and restoration plantings.”  

The recent decline of the honeybee has raised awareness of the threats to the species’ survival. This attention allows Honey Bee Haven and researchers to further inform the public over main threats to the pollinators.

“When bees are in a stressed state, their immune systems are compromised and have more of a problem dealing with these kinds of [threats]…the biggest [being] the destruction of habitat, pesticides, parasites and predators,” Thorp said. “There’s a lot more interest with a lot of people aware of the problems of the honeybee, which has been publicized heavily, [and this] has spilled out into a number of other interests, including urban gardening.”

There are over 16,000 different species of bees native to California, which may be helpful in reducing the stress of the honeybee and downsizing the threats which endanger the species, according to Thorp.

“[Almond growers and growers of other crops] are now looking at some native bees, [such as the Blue Orchard bee,] as possible alternatives or supplements to reduce the problem,” Thorp said. “That’s led to interest in restoration plantings, hedgerows, and interplanting with some of the tree crops and making actual plantings for bees to increase native bee population where agriculture is much more intensive…to bring some of the populations back.”

The Honey Bee Haven and the entomology and nematology department rely on the public’s education on bee population matters to bring more awareness and involvement in programs which aim to help “save the bees.”

“One of the most important things people can do is educate others about what’s going on with the bees, why they’re important and what we can do to help them out,” Thorp said.

Amina Harris, Director of the Honey and Pollination Center, allows the public access to research from professors like Thorp. According to the center, it’s important that people are informed if they truly want to keep honey around.

“When we started the [center], it had to include pollination,” Harris said. “We happen to like honey, but that’s not the important thing that [bees] do. The job of this institute is to inform and educate the public… [and] making sure people know what else is happening in the entymology world. We can showcase the research and try to reach out to the people who need the information.”

The Honey and Pollination Center, the entomology department and the Honey Bee Haven work together towards outreach and engagement with the university.

“Right now [the Honey and Pollination Center is] working on a new mission,” Harris said. “It [used to] be to help beekeepers, and we found out that we were doing outreach on many levels.”

These levels manifest themselves in various forms: honey tastings, honey quality wheels (available at the bookstore), the yearly Bee Symposium, Master Beekeeping classes and mead making courses. These opportunities help keep the center and honey bee awareness relevant in the city of Davis and the academic world.

“We are the only university in the country putting out courses for mead: a honey-based alcoholic beverage,” Harris said. “Right now we’re doing intro courses, but we’re beginning to start intermediate and advanced courses for people who are opening meaderies or people who have been in the mead business for a while to up their game.”

The Honey and Pollination Center would not be able to offer these opportunities without the research provided by entomology faculty on-campus.

“I don’t conduct the research, [but] I can talk about it [and] inform people about it. I think it’s really exciting because it gives us something to work with, to understand what we’re doing,” Harris said. “That’s what the Bee Symposium [in the spring] does; people who normally present papers only educator to educator, now can present to a lot of beekeepers.”

The goal of the programs associated with UC Davis is to increase awareness of the honeybees’ dire situation. According to Casey, volunteer forms are available at the Honey Bee Haven for anyone who is interested in contributing to the cause.

“I’d like more students to know what’s going on here,” Harris said. “They should be aware that [these programs are] happening.”

Aggies have yet to find a win

It was another tough day for the UC Davis Aggies as they faced a 27-13 loss against the University of Montana Grizzlies, further extending their losing streak to a whopping five games. Mistakes were abundant on both the offensive and defensive ends of the game for the Aggies, and struggles with turnovers and the inability to make tackles were the main culprits.

It was a warm and windy day as UC Davis faced conference rivals Montana for the first time this season. Desperately hoping to put a mark in the win column and score their first ever victory against the Grizzlies, the pressure was on.

Montana won the coin toss and chose to receive in the start of the game. Suffering a plethora of injuries from various players throughout the season, the defensive unit was determined to not let these setbacks faze them; the Aggie defense appeared to have things locked down early in the game.

The opening drive for the Grizzlies was stopped by UC Davis on 4th and 1, which led to a hard fought Aggie field goal. Striking first on the scoreboard after a confident defensive start was a morale boost for UC Davis. After a few back and forth drives where both teams found no ground in both the passing and running game, the team found points again in the form of another field goal. Although senior kicker Brady Stuart was doing an excellent job of executing their field goal attempts, it was clear that the Aggie offense could not find a way into the end zone as they took the first quarter with a 6-0 lead.

After a strong first quarter, the Aggie defense lost some momentum in the second following a strong drive and some clutch fourth down plays by the Grizzlies that led to a Montana touchdown. Throughout the game, the defense could not find a way to stop several strong fourth-down attempts by the Grizzlies, which heavily impacted the final score. Despite the opposing touchdown, the Aggie offense came out strong and finally found a way into the end zone to regain the lead at 13-7. The promising performance by the Aggies was short-lived, and the team would not find the end zone for the rest of the game.

Montana scored another touchdown, putting the Aggies down 14-13 as their defense desperately tried to give their offense an opportunity to score. Eventually, they forced a clutch fourth-down punt with UC Davis set to receive. Junior wide receiver Chris Martin, who has had a breakout season this year for the Aggies, was in position to return the punt but misjudged the landing location and found himself backtracking to get his hands on the ball. Making a critical mistake, Martin attempted to catch a ball he should have let drop and consequently fumbled it.  Montana recovered the ball at the UC Davis four yard line. Despite the setback, the defense came out again and caused and recovered a Montana fumble. Enthusiasm was high once again as the crowd praised the defensive efforts. The teams went into halftime with Montana leading 14-13.

The Aggies came out of the gates the third quarter with what seemed to be renewed determination. However, poor decisions by junior quarterback Ben Scott led to two interceptions, one of which resulted in a touchdown for the Grizzlies, ending the quarter 21-13.

“We had a really good game plan and 13 points was not accredited to the game plan we had,” Scott said. “The coaches put us in a good position, and I just did not execute… I was running around with my head cut off.”

It was do or die time for UC Davis as they trailed going into the fourth. An eight-point deficit was something the Aggies were determined to overcome, but determination was not enough. A tough quarter resulted in another Grizzly touchdown and the game concluded with an Aggie loss, 27-13.

A lot of construction is needed to turn the Aggies into a winning machine. Injuries have ravaged the team, but this is not an excuse for poor execution on both the offensive and defensive sides.  

“We don’t get caught up in the injuries and surgeries,” Head Coach Ron Gould said. “I’m just proud of how the kids fight and their resiliency. We play four quarters regardless of what the score is.”

Gould was disappointed in the loss and took responsibility for the performance.

“I told the team the loss is on me,” Gould said. “We have to make sure we put the guys in better situations. We’re not doing a very good job on executing on the goal line, and that’s on me, I take full responsibility. I have to put the players in a better position where they can be successful.”

It is clear that UC Davis is struggling, but it is by no means the end of the road. The team has different positive aspects of their play and they just need to figure out how to come together and start getting some wins. The Aggies have six more conference games left in the season, and they just need to take it one game at a time. They will face Northern Arizona for the highly anticipated homecoming game on Oct. 10.

The Aggies turn the table on visiting UC Irvine

Starting off slow after losing 15-25 in the first set, it looked as if the Aggies’ win from just a few days ago would be a one-time event. However, they came back with renewed vigor, taking the second set 25-22 and the third 25-23. The offensive stance they had started in the second peaked for the fourth and final set as they led the way to an 11 point win at 25-14, mirroring the result at the onset of the match.

Averaging over 15 total attempts per set, senior outside hitter Kaylin Squyres ended the match with 62, over a third of the 159 total attempts made by the Aggies throughout the game and 24 more than her closest teammate, junior outside hitter Kendall Walbrecht, who had the second most attempts.

“We need to get the middles and our right side more involved in the offense,” Head Coach Dan Conners said. “[Squyres is] a key player, she’s going to get a lot of sets. I think more balanced [offense] is going to help her and it’s going to help the team.”

JAY GELVEZON / AGGIE
JAY GELVEZON / AGGIE

Squyres also led with 25 kills, followed again by Walbrecht who ended with 13. Freshman libero Malia Bolko led her team with 17 digs.

A quick loss in the first set seemed to have little effect on the rest of the match, even fueling the team to attack the court relentlessly for the remainder of the match.

“The difference in the first set and the rest of the match was in the first set we gave them 18 of their 25 points,” Conners said. “We play a little better when we’re not giving up so many points. Less errors. Less hitting errors, less serving errors. That was the biggest thing.”

UC Davis hung on to a narrow lead for the majority of the second set, until they were overtaken by UC Irvine at 18-19. The game was tied up soon after at 20-all, with the Aggies bringing the score up to 23-20 in retaliation. The Anteaters made a last ditch effort to overturn the Aggies, gaining two in the process, and after fighting through a slew of long and exciting volleys they were silenced with the home team’s win.

“There is a time when you need to swing hard and put the ball away,” Squyres said. “I just try to have an aggressive mentality as often as I can. All the time really, I try to.”

By the end of the third,  Squyres had opened up, battering UC Irvine with shots predominantly from the left side. Her persistence at the net was a large determining factor in the set-win of 25-23.

The Anteaters took the lead to start the fourth set but relinquished their hold as the Aggies blew past them at 7-6. In an exercise of domination, UC Davis became even more aggressive and put away their competitors in the second home game win on the new court at the Pavilion.

Two more games await UC Davis in their four-game homestand with the next one taking place against UC Santa Barbara on Thursday.

Three-day men’s tennis tournament sees play from eight visiting schools

Over the weekend, the UC Davis men’s tennis team held their first home event of the 2015-2016 season in the form of the Aggie Invitational, a three-day event that brought players from eight different schools. From Oct. 2 to 4, singles and doubles teams from Stanford, Santa Clara, Pacific, Saint Mary’s, San Francisco, Berkeley, Sacramento State and Nevada all converged to play at the Marya Welch Tennis Center on-campus.

“It’s really fun for us to get some tournament wins and hopefully we can learn from our wins and losses and get better before the duel matches,” Head Coach Eric Steidlmayer said.

Day 1

The invitational started out with a bang for the home team as day one saw juniors Alec Adamson and Bryce McKelvie and sophomore Everett Maltby advance to the quarterfinals in their respective singles brackets. The UC Davis doubles teams also made an impact, with all four teams moving forward in the competition.

Second-seeded Adamson, who started off the season with a great performance in the Battle of the Bay Classic just two weeks ago, defeated Sacramento State’s Uli Vollath in the Flight “A” round of 16 with the score 6-1, 6-1. In Flight “B”, McKelvie dropped just one game for a win over Santa Clara’s Jeffery Lang in a 6-0, 6-1 match and Maltby won a pair after dispatching Pacific’s Jack LaPlante, 7-6 (3), 6-4 and Sacramento State’s Donald Hall, 7-6 (4), 6-2.

All four doubles teams ended their day in victory, securing them spots in the quarterfinals. Highlights include an upset by Adamson and junior

JAY GELVEZON / AGGIE

James Wade over the No. 2 seed in Flight “A” doubles, Trey Strobel and Anthony Tsodikov of Stanford, in a 8-3 match. Seniors Brett Bacharach and Adam Levie moved up in Flight “A” after defeating San Francisco’s Marco Barretto and Alexander Santiago, 8-6, and in Flight “B” teams juniors Jesse Ross and Eli Whittle plus freshman Tommy Lam and McKelvie advanced as well. Maltby was teamed up with Nevada’s Mile Cilic and received a first-round bye.

Day 2

After Day 2 came to a close, it was clear that McKelvie was on his way to reclaiming his Flight “B” singles championship from 2014. The singles player beat Pacific’s Bernardo Oliviera, 6-3,6-0, and Santa Clara’s Connor Garnett, 7-5, 7-5, in the semifinals and advanced to the Sunday finals to play against Maltby, who defeated Santa Clara’s Morgan Stone, 6-0, 7-6 (2), and second-seed Ryan Shen, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4.

Levie advanced to the consolation bracket after a win over Saint Mary’s Brian Lee, 6-3, 6-1, and a comeback from a first set loss against Gunther Matta of California, 1-6, 7-6 (5), 1-0 (11-9).

In Flight “A”, Adamson dispatched Saint Mary’s Jacob Lagman, 6-1, 6-4, but lost to California’s JT Nishimura, 6-3, 6-3, thus ending his run in the tournament.

Following a spectacular start for the doubles, teams McKelvie and Lam in addition to Everett and Cilic both ended with double wins. They moved on to play against each other in Sunday’s title match for the Flight “B” doubles championship.

Day 3

The first match of the game for the Aggies was the Flight “B” doubles championship of Maltby and Cilic versus McKelvie and Lam. The 8:30 a.m. start did nothing to hamper either team’s performance as they darted about the court and made quick sprints to the net. The McKelvie and Lam duo fell behind 4-6, but came back with strong serves and volleys to close the gap. From then on, the team raced ahead and won the game 8-6.

A short 30 minutes later, McKelvie and Maltby were back on the court to play for the Flight “B” singles championship. Both players often hit deep corner shots before running to the net and putting the ball away. Each point was close and often came down to who kept the ball in the court. Maltby often executed on the long rallies, but McKelvie put the game away with his serves and won 6-2, 6-2.

Following this tournament, the Aggies will be playing in the UCSB Classic the weekend of Oct. 9 to 11.

Letter to the Editor: Response to Low-Income Editorial

Opinion

Designed by Jennifer Wu
Designed by Jennifer Wu

As the chief academic officer of UC Davis, I read with interest the recent Aggie editorial “UC Davis good for low-income students, but challenges remain” (9.24.15). I appreciate its acknowledgment that recent articles in the New York Times called the UC system “The California-Upward Mobility Machine” and ranked UC Davis second in its list of “Top Colleges Doing the Most for Low-Income Students.” These accolades reflect the seriousness with which we take our responsibility to serve all Californians.

At the same time, one cannot argue against the claim in the editorial’s title that, however great our successes in making UC Davis accessible and affordable, “challenges remain.” The financial challenges of pursuing a UC Davis education are still too great for too many of our prospective and continuing students. Even as we celebrate accomplishments in student accessibility and affordability, we recognize them as steps in a longer journey.

In addressing the challenges that remain in this longer journey, the Aggie article raised concerns about the admission of an increasing number of national and international students and the impacts that this might have on California students. Chancellor Katehi and I firmly believe that the 2020 Initiative, which foresees the percentage of national and international students rising ultimately to about 20 percent of our student body, greatly benefits all of us in two critical ways: it increases the range of perspectives represented in our classrooms and everywhere else on our campus, and it augments the resources available to support our mission of teaching, research and public service in an era of significantly decreased state support for the university.

Setting us apart from some of our sister campuses, our 2020 Initiative aims to increase by 500 the number of California students on our campus, as measured against our baseline year of 2011–12. We remain steadfastly committed to that goal, though the exact number of California admits can be expected to vary somewhat from year to year. Likewise, we remain committed to increasing the diversity of our student body, along multiple parameters. We continue to show significant gains in diversity even as we strive to make greater progress.

The editorial also expresses a concern that our “poorest students suffer the brunt of tuition hikes more than anyone else.” While this sounds like it must be true, the reality is rather different. Under the Blue and Gold Opportunity plan, the entirety of base tuition and fees for this group of students is covered by gift aid. Incidentally, more than half of UC Davis’ California resident undergraduates receive enough gift aid to cover base tuition completely.

Granted, other costs of attendance are not always fully covered, and poorer students may be disproportionately discouraged by “sticker shock” even from applying to our campus, so we certainly have more work to do in this area — especially in making sure everyone understands how financial aid works at UC Davis. But tuition itself should not be the issue for our less advantaged students.

In closing, let me thank the Aggie for drawing attention to both important successes and challenges regarding accessibility and affordability at UC Davis, and for making a thoughtful contribution to our community’s larger discussion of the topic. I hope this response will further our joint conversation of this issue during the coming year.

Ralph J. Hexter is the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor of UC Davis.

garcia_opHi, my name is Jazmin García, and I am excited to say that I am one of The California Aggie’s fall quarter columnists. Given that I’m a psychology and an English double major, my train of thought sometimes tends toward the psychoanalytic and existential. My column, which will deal with such ideas, will explore the omnipresence of digital technology and its ever-evolving role in our social paradigm. It sounds like a hefty subject, but these thoughts stem from my immediate environment, which includes media outlets and pop culture. From reading Orwell to watching Avengers: Age of Ultron, I find myself faced with the question of our fate at the hands of evolving technology.

The digital revolution has altered social conventions. However, I must emphasize that this only gives part of the truth. Advancements in technology do not necessarily disturb or improve something as abstract and macroscopic as “Society.” This quarter, my goal is to minimize these misconceptions and offer a variety of lenses through which we can consider our digitalized world. Otherwise, this column will look at how the ever-expanding realm of social media influences our relationships with others and society, as well as our many identities.

The first volume of this saga discusses this terrifying thing known as online dating.

Yes, the term is dated, and, at least in my mind, triggers this image of some middle-aged person behind a desktop computer with an equally archaic computer mouse in their hand. Online dating carries a sort of stigma that dismisses it as a desperate measure or a superficial approach to developing an intimate relationship. But before we can say that social media dehumanizes relationships, we have to first identify an authentic or natural quality in them. For instance, a relationship mostly grounded on face-to-face interaction rivals an online relationship in the sense that the former is more physically intimate and that the latter has at least one degree of separation between them, like a mobile device or a computer. The variable in question, then, is proximity, which drives a distinction between the online persona and the ‘offline’ persona. You can think of the ‘degree of separation’ as being a barrier behind which you can conceal yourself. People usually take the liberty of fashioning themselves a different persona, with more exciting hobbies and slightly altered heights and weights. While a participant’s potential obscurity is part of the stigma ascribed to online dating, critics further accuse the medium of substituting a human being for a computer.

However, we can just as easily argue that the internet actually provides a bridge for communication through e-mail and social networking sites. Dr. David Ellis, a sociologist at Lincoln University in England, has spoken out against the stigma attached to the online component of these relationships.

“If people become more superficial it is not because of online dating,” Ellis said in “Digital Dating,” a documentary on the subject. “What people’s standards are might have changed and what the expectations are might have changed.”

Ellis additionally notes that, like media advertisements, online dating attempts to sell people a solution to a problem that might not actually be a problem. Dating websites have the best interest in convincing people that not being able to find a mate is a concern to them. This sort of propaganda simply reiterates the idea that finding a romantic partner in modern society is challenging. But the main selling point here is that the resources available for meeting people have evolved. Dr. Ellis has essentially addressed the stigmatized notion that online relationships are superficial, opting instead to defend the ‘online’ component that is often misconstrued as being destructive in relationships.

In a similar way, I concede that the online persona projects the offline person’s wants and needs. In this sense, comparing an ‘online’ persona with the ‘offline’ persona is meaningless. When we compare the online and offline personas, we are not talking about two classes of people, but rather, behaviors, like those that root themselves in the id (the needs) and the ego (the wants). On that same note, the Internet is an outlet with the online persona as the mediator and the offline persona as the seat of desires.

To say that the Internet dehumanizes relationships with other people and obstructs the future of society misunderstands the the principle of social media, and the Internet in general, to forge connections between human beings.

While online dating can prove to be a double-edged sword in terms of establishing and maintaining romantic relationships, the negatives are not owed to the ‘online’ component. Similarly, the successes of online dating do not see couples praising the invention of the Internet. Again, the Internet merely functions as a medium through which people can meet and interact — whether couples like, respect and communicate properly with each other will be determined by the people behind the screens and how they regulate their own ‘online’ and ‘offline’ dimensions.

In search of their first win, UC Davis prepares to confront Montana in home game

The Aggies remain in pursuit of their first win of the season as they prepare to face the Montana Grizzlies, a team that has trumped UC Davis at each of their six total encounters, without exception. Their second home game — the first since the beginning of the school quarter — is sure to bring a large audience to the stadium, and all attendees are encouraged to wear the color blue to show their support.

In four games, the football team has failed to bring home a win due to a number of factors, with little time in the pocket for junior quarterback Ben Scott perhaps being the most significant. The offensive line needs to ward off the defensive line and provide Scott with enough time to find game-winning passes, though he has made due by quickly slinging throws to find players like junior wide receiver Chris Martin, who has had 14 catches and four touchdowns this year.

Coming off a seven-point loss from the previous week, UC Davis could taste victory as they brought the score up to 31-24 with only minutes left in play, making it within game-tying distance. They struggled to recover the ball from North Dakota, who was able to keep possession for the remainder of the game and run down the clock for the win.
UC Davis will throw everything they have at Montana to upset their dominating presence on the field. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. this Saturday in the Aggie Stadium.

UCD researchers determine source of memory loss in psychosis

Researchers, counselor discuss findings and implications for schizophrenic patients

For the over three and a half million patients suffering with schizophrenia in the United States, recent groundbreaking research at UC Davis provides hope in treating the symptom of relational memory loss.

Genetics, chemistry or issues during pregnancy and birth are believed to cause schizophrenia, which typically manifests itself in patients between the ages of 16 and 30.  Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder, which means it is characterized by delusions and hallucinations. These symptoms hamper the ability of patients to differentiate between reality and unreality.

“Psychosis involves a couple of different symptoms,” said Cameron Carter, senior author and psychiatry professor. “One is hallucination, that’s hearing things or seeing things that other people can’t hear or see. The other is delusion, [which is] extreme beliefs that become stuck. There are paranoid delusions – that some enemy is after them, or other delusions where they feel that they have special powers.”

Psychotic symptoms can be caused by an overabundance of the chemical dopamine in the brain, and treated by dopamine-blocking drugs. These drugs are effective in reducing hallucinations and delusions. However, in schizophrenia, memory loss is another significant symptom. No treatment has ever been developed for memory loss – until now.

“The reason we study memory in schizophrenia is because cognitive deficits in schizophrenia are very common,” Carter said. “When you look at what limits people in the world having this illness – it’s not whether or not they are hearing voices, or whether or not they have delusions. It’s this cognitive dysfunction that gives people much more difficulty working or living independently. Memory deficit is a very prominent path of cognitive dysfunction.”

The memory dysfunction associated with schizophrenia affects working memory. While schizophrenic patients seem to perform well with itemized memory, relational memory can pose an issue.

“If you think about going to a grocery store and making a list that you’re trying to remember, you can try to remember it by individual items [or] grouping similar items together,” said John Daniel Ragland, lead author of the study and psychiatry and behavioral sciences professor. “For example, grouping dairy products or bread products. Another way you can remember items is by thinking about their relationships. For example, I want to buy ingredients for a cake. Flour, sugar and baking powder are all related to each other and that’s why I’m going to remember them.”

The researchers’ tested their hypothesis: patients with schizophrenia have more problems with relational memory, but could actually work with itemized memory quite well. The study added to an ongoing study on how schizophrenia affects learning memory. Data was collected at UC Davis and four other campuses: University of Minnesota, Washington University, University of Maryland and Rutgers University in New Jersey.

“I do see that the cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia are very devastating to patients and their family,” said Sarah Hahn, director of counseling services at UC Davis Student Health and Counseling Services. “This research holds great promise and I think people could potentially remain much higher functioning if we understand more about this memory deficit, and by working on early identification and prevention, keep the illness from being more profound.”

The study was completed with 52 schizophrenic patients and 57 controls. Participants were shown several items in itemized and relational conditions. For the itemized test, they were asked to recall whether one of two items was living. For the relational test, they were asked whether one item could fit inside the other. Some items were learned during both the conditions, while others were new.

“What this study added was that we found that patients of schizophrenia have much more difficulty with relational memories,” Ragland said. “The fMRI showed that this was due to two findings: use of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in relational memory but not in itemized memory, and activation of the hippocampus during retrieval of information, again only for relational memory.”

Researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure changes in blood flow in the brain. This allowed them to determine which parts of the brain were active during different conditions of the trials.

“In other parts of the body, when tissue increases its function, oxygenation goes down, but in the brain, when a part of the brain is working harder, it increases its oxygenation,” Carter said. “We used this scanning to compare people with healthy brains, and people with schizophrenia. We found that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is very involved in keeping you on task even during distraction, was not supporting memory function in schizophrenia in the way that it did in healthy control subjects.”

This finding clarifies both the specific type of memory issue as well as the target of improvement for patients with schizophrenia. Researchers can now focus on improving the function of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to improve relational memory.

“This tells us there is most likely a single mechanism that involves this element of cognitive circuitry in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex related to a whole range of problems patients may have in cognition,” Carter said. “If we could find a treatment to increase the function of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, we would be able to improve memory in schizophrenia.”

Based on the findings of this study, schizophrenic patients now have several options. Patients can be taught to organize memories with an itemized feature to decrease daily frustration with memory loss. Alternatively, a few brain stimulation techniques could be studied and tuned to target the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

“We can train that part of the brain, stimulate it electrically or bring it online with drugs,” Carter said. “Most importantly, we could make a big difference to these memory deficits and that is how we can make a big difference to the quality of life of people with schizophrenia.”

As previous studies at UC Davis have shown, cognitive function can be improved by computerized cognitive training. Low-intensity electrical stimulation or specialized drugs are also points of future study. Ragland and Carter hope to further research and develop such treatment options.  

“At this point, the medications out there do not target specific parts of the brain,” said Dr. Celeste Wiser, chief of psychiatry at UC Davis. “But, if they can be developed in the future, then this research could be applied to drugs and completely change everything.”

UC Davis victory over UC Riverside

Aggies defeat the Highlanders in first home match on new court.

An animated crowd spurred the Aggies to triumph in the Pavilion for a satisfying debut on their brand new court. With a massive UC Davis mustang looking up from the floor and gleaming hardwood framing the scene, the UC Riverside Highlanders were defeated in the fourth set.

“I love that we have a good floor and new big logo out there,” head coach Dan Conners said. “It feels good to be out here showing off the court and getting a win in the process.”

It was a close first two sets, as the teams battled to control the lead in the final moments of the first set. A combined effort by the UC Davis athletes gave way to a three-point comeback to take the first win 28-26. They were then prevented in the following set from converting two points into a victory by UC Riverside, who took it by the same margin of 28-26 and tied up the score.

The third set saw team-wide cohesion for UC Davis early on as the team opened up, starting with 5-0 lead in the beginning that crawled up to 16-13 before the Aggies started to batter their opponents, pinning them down and only allowing the Highlanders’ to score one of the next 10 points for a final score of 25-14.

A consistent lead by the Highlanders’ finally gave way late in the fourth set, marking the deadly tenacity of the Aggies’ outside hitters as junior Kendall Walbrecht rocketed in an ace and was swiftly followed by senior Kaylin Squyres with three consecutive kills to win the match for her team. It was a standout set for Squyres especially, who made nearly half of her 24 total kills, and also a standout match for Walbrecht, who finished with 19 total kills, a career high.

Freshman libero Malia Bolko had a game-high 25 digs, Squyres took home 13 and junior setter Sophia Marr had 12 for the match.

“We’ve worked through some issues where we’ve been a little too passive and conservative, and we had longer streaks of aggressive plays [tonight],” said Conners, as UC Davis’ conference record improves to 1-2 with its first conference win of the season.

Coming off of four straight losses, the Aggies overcame timid play that had been haunting the team for much of the year.

Despite some moments where the volleyball team seemed to falter, the Aggies ultimately had a solid inaugural showing in the new Pavilion court and will remain at home to play UC Irvine on Oct. 3.
