Elections committee pushes back vote counting until July meeting

campUS fIGUreS

Noah stern, the current asUC President, has seen less dramatic events this year than have occurred in the past.

carolinE mccloskEy/staff

One year ago, Noah Stern was in a very different situ-ation.

He had been accused of voting for another student during his successful campaign for president in the 2010 ASUC General Election and was therefore the subject of an investigation by the ASUC Attorney General, which eventually found Stern guilty and issued him four cen-sures for other violations — just one short of the amount required to be removed from office — while also requir-ing him to publicly apologize and amend the ASUC Con-stitution and Bylaws to bolster campaign rules.

He hadn’t even begun his term.Now, though a cursory Google search of his name will

still display evidence of that controversy, Stern is wrap-ping up a presidency, which he said remained intact de-spite its contentious start.

But throughout his year as president, the spotlight was never focused as directly on his actions. Stern him-self admitted his year was somewhat “low-key.”

However, the campus climate is also different than it was last year. Student protests have not risen to the same level, the ASUC Senate is not debating a controversial bill urging the University of California to divest from companies that supplied Israel with materials used in al-leged war crimes and Stern is not on trial.

“Last year there was a lot of drama, a lot of politics, a lot of big, big events — this year was not like that at all, and I was kind of bracing myself for that,” Stern said. “This year, there was a lot more behind the scenes work, a lot of meetings with administrators and building up those relationships.”

As president, Stern has played a pivotal role as a stu-dent representative with the Lower Sproul renovation project as well as the campus cost-cutting Operational Excellence initiative.

Last summer, Stern signed a second Memorandum of Understanding with Chancellor Robert Birgeneau regarding the project, which he said carried some “big wins” for students. In that memorandum, the campus agreed to compensate the ASUC for revenue lost during construction as well as provide space for displaced stu-dent groups. A third memorandum that Stern is working on with the campus is on its way.

Though he said he thought he could have done more at times with his role in the initiative, Stern believes the campus is now “on a path to getting students more involved in that process” as the initiative heads into its implementation phase next year.

Additionally, negotiations between the campus and the student government that Stern was a part of last

The most contested leadership elec-tion in a union representing UC academic student employees has been shrouded in another layer of controversy after two days of vote counting plagued by repeated breakdowns, partisanship and allegations of election fraud resulted in an estimated 1,500 votes not being counted.

Vote counting for the statewide tri-an-nual leadership elections for the United Auto Workers Local 2865 — which rep-resents nearly 12,000 graduate student instructors, readers and tutors — began Friday but was pushed into a second day after ballots from multiple campuses were challenged by members from both United for Social and Economic Justice and Aca-demic Workers for a Democratic Union, two competing slates in the election.

Counting resumed Saturday but ended with a vote by the union elections commit-tee to certify only a portion of the ballots and adjourn the vote counting, pushing back consideration of votes from three campuses — UCLA, UC Berkeley and UC Merced — until the union’s next Joint Council meeting in July.

According to a statement released by AWDU, there were around 3,200 votes cast in the election, with the largest turnouts at two of the uncounted campuses — UC Berkeley and UCLA. With UC Berkeley’s voter turnout estimated to be around 819 people, around 1,500 votes — a little short of half the votes cast — remain uncounted.

The vote count comes after three days of union voting across nine UC campuses that began April 26. The election is the most contentious in the union’s history, with all executive board and most campus

positions contested.A letter sent Saturday night to the union

membership from the chair of the Elec-tions Committee, Travis Knowles, said that after 48 hours “of intense heated work and deliberation with serious objections filed from both sides,” the committee voted to certify the election results that had been counted, referring the challenged ballots to the Joint Council — the governing body of the union comprised of head stewards, recording secretaries and unit chairs from each campus as well as the union’s 10-member executive board.

“Given the serious nature of some of these charges and the heated and turbu-lent atmosphere of the counting room, the elections committee referred the matter to the Joint Council,” the letter reads.

However, the decision to end the counting before votes from all campuses could be tal-lied has been met with serious controversy, with many asserting that vote counting was ended unilaterally and improperly, risking disenfranchisement of voters at three of the nine UC campuses that voted.

According to Adam Hefty, the Elections Committee member from UC Santa Cruz, there are numerous issues with the way the vote counting was ended, specifically the vote by the elections committee, which he deemed “illegitimate” because he as-serted the votes were taken so quickly that some committee members present did not understand what was going on and were unable to vote.

There has also been debate regarding the legitimacy of referring the challenged votes to the Joint Council.

“The Joint Council is able to make a de-termination of what do with the challenges and whether to certify the whole election, count existing ballots, exclude some ballots or even re-run or partially re-run elections,” said Daraka Larimore-Hall, the incumbent union president who is running for reelec-

tion. “I have no position on what is the best at this point, but I know this needs to be ad-dressed carefully to make sure to maintain the integrity of this election.”

However, Philippe Marchand, the Elec-tions Committee member from UC Berke-ley said that referring the votes to the Joint Council presents a “problematic” conflict of interest because it means many mem-bers of the Joint Council will have to rule on ballots that will potentially determine their future elected positions in the union.

“In all my experience, I don’t think I’ve ever seen elections procedures that were more dubious than the elections we’ve wit-nessed over the last few days,” Marchand said. “I’m still shocked.”

Charlie Eaton, a union trustee and UC Berkeley graduate student, said that the Joint Council will be unable to make any decision on the ballots because of that spe-cific conflict of interest, adding that provi-sions in the union’s bylaws that state that “upon the close of the polls ... the election committee shall count the ballots” bar the Joint Council from being able to make the decision, instead placing power with the elections committee.

However, Larimore-Hall asserted that under the bylaws, the Joint Council repre-sents one of the highest authorities in the union — equal to the union membership — and is enabled to overturn any decision by the elections committee.

According to Eaton, AWDU has ob-tained legal counsel and is writing a letter to the UAW International to inform them that “they need to make sure the current union officials carry out their responsibili-ties to count all the ballots.”

A rally at Sather Gate, followed by a march from campus to the union office in the Downtown is planned for 11:30 a.m. Monday to demand that the campus’s 819 votes be counted.

Presentation shows downward trend in crime rates, addresses school gun activity

Stern has ‘low- key’ year after disputed start

A presentation given by the Berke-ley Police Department at a City Coun-cil work session April 26 detailing sta-tistics compiled from 2009, 2010 and the early months of 2011 showed an overall downward trend in crime rates for Berkeley and addressed the recent rise in crime at Berkeley High School.

According to the report, the num-ber of “Part One” crimes — meaning violent crimes, property crimes and arson — decreased 9 percent between 2009 and 2010. The report also com-pared part one crime rates between January and March 2010 to January and March 2011, showing an overall 21 percent decrease, dropping from 1,777 to 1,395 crimes, respectively.

“We’re getting better crime analysis and employing different strategies to address issues,” said Berkeley Police Department Capt. Cynthia Harris. Harris declined to comment further on the exact strategies used, however.

Food rules for college life

Jack Wang jwang@dailycal.org

Off THE BEAT

are supposedly home to the best.There’s something exquisite about

the simplicity of the shredded meat neatly folded inside a sweet roll with a smattering of coleslaw. Certain places take this meat seriously, slowly barbe-cuing an entire pig split in half for something like 12 hours. Once they lift the giant metal lid, the meat pulls so cleanly off the bones you can do it with your bare hands. Orgasmic.

Turkey is my meat of choice when it comes to cold-cut deli sand-

wiches, especially peppered turkey. It has a nice, fresh taste that fits in nicely with crispy vegetables. Ham is fine too, but pastrami should be reserved for hot sandwiches.

Stay away from Subway. Don’t give in to their lackluster sandwiches just for the convenient $5 price tag. Every time you go there, you legitimize its doubled-up existence on both the Telegraph-Bancroft corner and Bear’s Lair. And I will hate you for it.

No. 4: Everything is better with meat — unless it’s dessert.

Vegetarian food can be delicious. Ethiopian and Indian food stand out as solid examples, as do various types of raviolis stuffed with squash or mushrooms. While becoming vegan is near unfathomable, I can imagine sus-taining myself on a vegetarian diet for a short while.

But as good as those meals may be, they get ramped up to another level when you add any sort of meat. Think about it. You’re enjoying a salad — boom, someone sprinkles on some bacon. You pull a freshly baked potato out of the oven — good thing you have bacon. Scallops? Wrap it in some bacon.

Leave desserts out of this though — beef cake just sounds weird.

No. 5: Finish everything on your plate.

Self-explanatory. There’s no sense in letting food go to waste. Only do this if you’re intent on insulting the chef. It doesn’t matter if you’re full; you can always get the leftovers to go.

No. 6: Wash your hands.Sometimes, I walk into the bath-

room and see people leave without making that 15-second pit stop at the sink. I know the instructional signs there are explicitly directed at employ-ees, but come on.

Get your life together.

Michael Pollan seems like a cool guy. He’s been one of the faces of the slow food

movement for the last half-decade and is also a professor at the Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley. The campus gave out free copies of “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” for their On the Same Page program not too long ago, and I figure I’ll get around to reading that one of these days.

But honestly, I’m 20 years old right now, and college life is not exactly most conducive to his advice to “eat by the grace of nature.” My metabolism is still working reasonably well, and I’m more likely to dig into a late-night pile of onion rings than shell out an extra 50 cents for that organic label.

And in that interest, here’s a more visceral, less healthy set of food rules.

No. 1: Your hands are utensils.I don’t care if you think it’s easier or

neater to eat pizza with a fork and knife — there are certain foods that are meant to leave your hands looking like you just murdered a small animal.

Just because there’s silverware sit-ting in front of you doesn’t mean you have to use them. God gave you a set of dexterous fingers and thumbs for a reason, so use them well.

As an old Carl’s Jr. commercial once said, “If it doesn’t get all over the place, it doesn’t belong in your face.”

Notable exceptions: deep dish pizza from Zachary’s and wet burri-tos from pretty much anywhere.

An addendum onto this rule is that you should never order burrito bowls at Chipotle. There’s a certain animalis-tic thrill involved with cramming a burrito into your mouth, and a burrito bowl is a bastardized abomination that completely robs the eater of that thrill. If you’re getting tortillas on the side and wrapping your own burrito, that is more acceptable. No dinky little grab-and-stuff-into-your-mouth moves though — wrap up something proper.

One more thing to remember: always have a healthy stock of napkins at hand.

No. 2: Chicken? You might as well just shrug.

Don’t just take my word for it. Anthony Bourdain once wrote: “Chicken is boring. Chefs see it as a menu item for people who don’t know what they want to eat.”

We’ve all grown up with the idea that anything weird — frogs,

those insects in “The Lion King” — tastes like chicken. The bird has become the everyman of meats, essen-tially functioning as a placeholder sponge that soaks in the flavors of the sauces around it. It has no character of its own.

Stick with beef or pork. And speak-ing of the latter ...

No. 3: Pulled pork sandwich is the best sandwich.

The pulled pork sandwich is one of the few reasons I would ever want to venture into the South — the Carolinas

STern: President hopes to stay involved with ASUC next year

semester resulted in an agreement that, while the move of the campus’s Career Center will be financed by fee revenue from the B.E.A.R.S. Initia-tive, future rent for the center will be paid for by the student service fee.

Stern’s successor, Student Action Senator Vishalli Loomba, said that aside from the fact that this year has been more about policy work for the president, Stern did not take full credit for all of his actions, including work with the Career Center negotiations.

“The amount of work he’s put into the B.E.A.R.S. Initiative alone is ridic-ulous,” Loomba said.

Kelly McDonnell, Stern’s chief of staff, attributed some of his reduced visibility to his character.

“He’s been doing a lot,” McDonnell said. “He works very hard, but he’s very humble, so I think that’s part of the reason why. He does a lot of speeches and all that kind of stuff, but he doesn’t seek recognition, really ... He’s such a humble guy, and that also makes it re-ally easy to work with him.”

Having worked with Stern since serving with him in the ASUC Senate last year, outgoing Academic Affairs

Vice President Viola Tang said she would have liked to see Stern take a more active role with his presidency.

“I don’t know exactly how he runs his office, but the sentiment I get is that he is not as visible as he could be,” Tang said. “I feel like as president, you have the re-sponsibility and the means to be visible.”

During the election last year, Stern campaigned on goals of switching the campus’s email interface to Gmail, be-ing a strong student advocate and im-proving student life.

He said he feels he accomplished the latter goals through his work with campus projects, including negotia-tions with administrators and the in-troduction of the Taste of Berkeley food fair on campus. And though the senate passed a bill in February urging the campus to switch its email inter-face to Gmail, subsequent discussions have not yet produced Stern’s desired result.

“I don’t think that’s a lost battle,” Stern said. “For this year, it hasn’t happened, but I think it’s still in the cards.”

Currently a junior, Stern said he would like to stay involved with the ASUC in

some capacity next year, citing an obliga-tion he feels to contribute to institutional memory in an organization that is not often able to attain it.

His ultimate career goals, however, remain “yet to be determined” among several ideas, which include political aspirations as well as interest in busi-ness and a desire to work with devel-oping countries. He has already done work with the UC Haiti Initiative — a project that aims to provide support to the State University of Haiti following the devastating earthquake that struck the country in January 2010. Stern vis-ited the country last summer and met with Haiti administrators at a sympo-sium in early February.

“You know, my mom always calls me the most ambitious person she’s ever met that doesn’t have a goal yet,” he said. “If something’s put in front of me that I feel like is important, like helping the school and running for senate or president, I will do it ... but I don’t necessarily know where I’m going to be in five years, spe-cifically. I haven’t found the next goal in life, for better or for worse.”

Students join march against gender violence

In an effort to raise awareness about gender violence and rape, a group of men from UC Berkeley and other California schools took the time last Saturday to walk in women’s shoes — literally.

The Hermanas Unidas and Herma-nos Unidos organizations at UC Berke-ley participated in the event — called “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” — with chapters from across the state. The an-nual event takes place internationally and involves men wearing women’s high-heeled shoes for a mile-long walk while women walk alongside them.

By Courtney Moulds | Staffcmoulds@dailycal.org

At a joint conference in January, Hermanas and Hermanos members decided to put on the walk as a commu-nity service event. Chair of Hermanas Unidas at UC Berkeley Roxana Cruz said this particular cause was chosen because her organization is dedicated to empowering women and because domestic violence is something that many Hispanic women have to face.

“It’s a fun and comfortable way for people to talk about an issue that’s dif-ficult to talk about in our society,” said UC Berkeley Hermanas Unidas Histo-rian Lilian Ledesma. “We’re trying to bring those issues up and bring aware-ness in a way that will be fun.”

Members from Hermanas and Her-manos chapters at UC Santa Barbara,

UCLA, UC Irvine, CSU Fullerton, CSU Long Beach and CSU Northridge trav-eled to Berkeley to participate in the event.

Chapters from both organizations fundraised money prior to the walk at their respective campuses to pay for transportation to Berkeley, to cover the cost of purchasing the shoes and to donate to the cause. The money raised for the event will be donated to Rain-bow Services — a nonprofit organiza-tion in Southern California dedicated to preventing family violence — and Bay Area Women Against Rape. The organizations continued to accept do-nations at the actual event as well.

Berkeley man taken into federal custody

Crime

A Berkeley man is in federal cus-tody in Sacramento after he was indicted by a federal grand jury for possessing cocaine and metham-phetamine with intent to distribute, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

U.S. Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced Thursday that Roberto Ceja Sandoval, 44, has been charged with a two-count indictment after over 11 pounds of powder cocaine and about five pounds of metham-phetamine were found in a car he was driving, according to court doc-uments. The illegal drugs are worth at least $225,000, according to U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration spokesperson Special Agent Casey McEnry.

On April 20, a Shasta County Sheriff ’s Deputy pulled Sandoval over after noticing that he was driving 71 miles per hour on Inter-state 5 near Redding, Calif. — an area with a speed limit of 65 miles per hour — according to court doc-uments. The documents allege that while the deputy was issuing San-doval a warning for the speeding infraction, another sheriff ’s deputy arrived with a drug-sniffing dog named “Darco” who then smelled drugs in the car.

In hidden compartments in the side walls of both the passenger and driver sides of the vehicle, the depu-ties found ten brick-sized packages of cocaine and five packages of a sub-stance containing crystal metham-phetamine, according to the court

The city of Berkeley’s Plan-ning Commission approved rec-ommendations last week to make amendments to the city’s zoning ordinance in order to make it easier for businesses to relocate or open and to improve the economic cli-mate in the city’s business districts.

Following a hearing at the com-mission’s meeting Wednesday, the drafted recommendations for a series of amendments to the city’s zoning ordinance were approved. These changes include suspend-ing the Solano Avenue food service quota, extending city-wide eve-ning business hours and reevalu-ating the types of permits busi-nesses must obtain before opening.

By Jessica Gillotte | Staffjgillotte@dailycal.org

At the Dec. 7 City Council meet-ing, Councilmembers Laurie Capi-telli, Susan Wengraf and Darryl Moore co-authored a request for the city’s planning department staff to identify ways to decelerate the city’s continuously downward-spiraling economic environment.

The planning department staff compiled eight proposed amend-ments to the zoning ordinance, all of which were approved by the Plan-ning Commission Wednesday. Minor changes were made following a pub-lic hearing and will be incorporated into the recommendations and then presented to the City Council in June.

Two of the proposed changes would lower the review level for permits that businesses must ob-tain before opening in the city. The three types of permits for businesses

documents.The documents allege that San-

doval told the sheriff ’s deputies he was driving from Berkeley to Ore-gon to visit his daughter and knew nothing about the drugs that were found in the car. The documents also state that Sandoval said he had borrowed the car from a man in Ontario two days prior to go visit his daughter but could not provide his daughter’s address or phone number.

Although Sandoval lives in Berkeley, he is a legal resident alien from Mexico, and he said that he works as a self-employed me-chanic, making $4,000 to $5,000 a year, according to the court docu-ments.

An arraignment in federal court in Sacramento is set for May 5 on two counts of possessing cocaine and methamphetamine with intent to distribute.

The case is a joint investigation by the Shasta County Sheriff ’s Office and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Ad-ministration.

According to U.S. Department of Justice spokesperson Lauren Hor-wood, the federal government only becomes involved in cases where drugs are suspected to be used for reasons other than personal use.

“With (Sandoval), it’s a huge amount,” she said. “With him, there was no question.”

She said there is no specific thresh-old for illegal drugs to be considered for distribution purposes, but key giveaways are possession of scales and firearms.

If convicted, Sandoval could face life in prison, according to the de-partment’s statement.

company — which the lawsuit states is the third largest theater company in the nation — offered no captioning to patrons whatsoever.

Drattell added that captioning systems in other theaters typically do not accompany new movie releases and any captioning that is offered is usually only available at unaccom-modating times.

“They are either late at night or early in the morning on a Saturday or on a weekday,” she said. “It had been really frustrating for us not to go to the movies like everybody else.”

According to the association’s statement, Cinemark’s captioning will be provided by the CaptiView Closed Caption Viewing System, a method that has patrons pick up a “bendable support arm” from the theater lobby which fits into their seat’s cup holder. The support arm contains a screen to display captions

of the film’s audio and can be used on any seat in the theater.

The system also employs a privacy visor to prevent impact on other pa-trons. Drattell said this system can be taken to any movie that has captions, meaning patrons will have access to a greater selection of films.

Though the settlement only con-cerns captioning in Cinemark’s Cali-fornia theaters, Leonard said she is optimistic the company will continue to establish captioning systems and offer similar captioning devices in its theaters in other states as well. She added that Disability Rights Advocates is not currently bringing similar suits elsewhere.

“We’re talking with other theaters, but I don’t have any plans at this mo-ment,” Drattle said. “Our intention is simply to encourage more caption-ing.”

Professor given grant for sanitation researchBy Kelsey Clark | Staffkclark@dailycal.org

UC Berkeley professor of environ-mental engineering Kara Nelson has been awarded a five-year $100,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for her unconven-tional research in sanitation and human waste management.

The foundation announced Thurs-day the 88 new recipients of the bi-annual grant, which began in 2008 through Grand Challenges Explora-tions — a program that “supports innovative research that has the po-tential to dramatically improve lives in some of the world’s poorest coun-tries.” Over 2,500 proposals were submitted from approximately 100 countries to the foundation’s sixth round of grant awards from the ini-tiative.

Nelson said she will use the grant money to treat human waste at the point where it is being produced, in an effort to eliminate the amount of contact humans have with fecal pathogens. Nelson’s previous re-search includes controlling patho-gens in waste products and also the treatment of drinking water con-tamination.

“The problem in urban areas in the developing world is that a lot of the waste is stored in pit latrines, or is discharged into open drains. The pit latrines need to be cleaned out manually and then the material is carried somewhere and discharged somewhere where there is high po-tential of human contact ... there are fecal pathogens everywhere,” Nelson said. “My proposal is to treat the waste before anyone has contact with it.”

By using ammonia that is natu-rally present in waste from urine and feces and by raising the pH of the material by adding another agent,

Nelson said harmful microorganisms in the waste can be disinfected by the ammonia germicide at the waste’s generation. She added that the grant money will allow her to further her research on ammonia disinfection while testing out the feasibility of applying this method in the field — which may include travel to possible field sites in India, Kenya or Ghana.

Nelson said she hopes to work with design partners to develop in-novative latrines that incorporate the users’ perspective, as well as waste treatment in the design.

“I’m hoping that we can develop something that can be easier to scale up so it can work for large numbers of people,” she said.

According to Nelson, the results of her funded research will be used to apply for a second grant through the foundation, which offers the pos-sibility of follow-up grants of up to $1 million for successful projects. Nel-son said further funding may allow her to expand her research beyond the disinfection of waste to include exploring the different potential use-values of waste.

“There is actually big potential to harvest the waste and use it, by di-gesting it anaerobically for biofuel, or to compost it for fertilizer,” she said.

Nelson said working at the inter-section of environmental sustain-ability and human health issues has been important to her research since her time as a graduate student. She said it was in graduate school that she recognized the potential value of waste as a resource.

“Human waste was a valuable resource, but the way that most human waste in the world is treated right now, the value of the waste isn’t being captured,” Nelson said. “Pretty much everywhere I worked in the world, even in California, there is opportunity to improve the sustain-ability of how we handle human waste.”

Walk: Event brings students together against domestic violence and rape

much on rape and assault and gen-der violence,” Cruz said. “(The event) will bring awareness that will maybe help decrease it.”

The walk began on Upper Sproul Plaza, and from there, members walked to Strawberry Creek Park, where they enjoyed music and food and listened to speeches and perfor-mances on topics related to the event.

Hermanas members read poems by Maya Angelou that celebrated women and UC Berkeley senior and Hermanos member Manuel Pastore performed a song about appreciation of women that he wrote for a previ-ous Hermanos event in November.

Though not all the men that par-ticipated in the walk wore high heels, those that did said it gave them a new perspective and awareness.

“By us wearing the heels it just in-flicts that pain to us,” said CSU Los

Angeles senior Miguel Cucue. “And we could only imagine how it would feel to get verbally and physically abused.”

Cucue also decided to shave his legs just for the event and said it gave him “a whole new respect for women.”

UC Berkeley sophomore and Her-manos member Branden Saenz said wearing the heels was not as bad as he thought it would be, though he said it was still difficult.

“It’s nothing compared to what women actually go through,” Saenz said. “It seems like a small task, but the message is something bigger.”

Though this is the first time that Hermanas Unidas and Hermanos Unidos have ever participated in this walk, members said they hope to continue working for the cause in the future and make it an annual event.

Parking and transPortation

BART gathers opinions in seat labMembers of the public gathered at the Fruitvale BART station Sunday to test out options for the next generation of public transit cars.

By Adelyn Baxter | Staffabaxter@dailycal.org

BART held the first of a series of public seat labs at its Fruitvale sta-tion Sunday in order to gather public opinion on what the next generation of public transit cars should look like.

The seat labs will be carried at vari-ous BART stations throughout the Bay Area in order for staff to hear public input on what people want to see in the new trains that will be developed in the coming years. BART currently has the oldest cars in the country — some of the trains running today were even in service when BART first opened in 1972.

After the public outreach period con-cludes, BART will search for compa-nies with which to sign a multi-billion dollar contract to build the new trains

in phases. In order to allow BART to run more trains during special events and peak hours, 775 cars would replace the current 669 cars in the fleet.

The Fleet of the Future, as BART has named the new generation of cars, will most likely not appear before 2018, al-though some pilot cars may be on the tracks by 2016.

The $3.5 billion project is set to be entirely funded by federal and state funds, although BART is required to fund a portion of the project itself, meaning that the Board of Directors will be faced with tough decisions in terms of which projects to prioritize in coming years and which to delay, ac-cording to BART Director of District 4 Robert Raburn.

Permits: Changes await city council

in the city, which include zoning certificates, administrative use per-mits and use permits issued by the city’s Zoning Adjustments Board, increase respectively in the amount of time needed to be obtained.

If the city council approves the recommendations in June, busi-nesses that will occupy a smaller lot will no longer have to apply for an administrative use permit, which can take up to two months for approval and requires an additional six-month window during which the permit is posted on the property to allow the public to appeal. Restaurants look-ing to utilize lots under 1,000 square feet will be able to get a zoning cer-tificate, which can be obtained “over the counter” and relatively quickly.

Other recommendations ap-proved by the commission include

extending nighttime operating hours to 11 p.m. and 12 a.m. in neigh-borhood commercial districts and avenue commercial districts, re-spectively, and suspending the food service quota on Solano Avenue for three years — which restricts the number of businesses in one cat-egory that can exist on the avenue.

Capitelli said there were a few peo-ple in opposition to the changes at the hearing, but the majority of those present, including several mem-bers of various business districts, were in support of the amendments.

“A lot of businesses come to Berkeley that have wanted to open in Berkeley and have found the permitting process so difficult that they move elsewhere,” she said. “We wanted to make it easier for business to open, particularly those that are locally owned and operated.”

Jessica Gillotte is the lead business reporter.

The need for upgrades has been fur-ther emphasized by incidents in recent months — a piece of trim fell off of one BART car near West Oakland on Feb. 18, causing a systemwide shutdown for over an hour during the peak after-noon rush.

“With projected population increas-es and rising gas prices, we’re going to have hundreds of thousands of more riders in future years,” said Kerry Ha-mill, department manager for govern-ment and community relations. “At the same time, we have so many different needs to balance — strollers, wheel-chairs, bikes and people.”

The seat lab consisted of three sta-tions displaying various seating fea-tures. Members of the public were encouraged to walk through the inter-active lab, try out seats and fill out a survey with any thoughts or concerns.

We support a new city ordinance that proposes to fine property owners who fail to follow exisitng state law.

CITY AFFAIRS

It’s the law

I’ve been a tenant in Berkeley for nine years, and I’ve never received a receipt with an itemization”

—Jesse Arreguin, Councilmember

The public should under-stand existing rental laws, and property owners

should act in good faith — this belief is at the core of a new city ordinance that would require compliance with existing state law.

Currently, California allows property owners to charge pro-spective tenants a screening fee, which increases annually based on the Consumer Price Index. The fee is intended to cover out-of-pocket expenses — such as the cost of obtaining an appli-cants credit history — but cur-rently cannot exceed $42.41 and must be accompanied by an itemized receipt, listing all expenses, to be given to all applicants.

The Berkeley City Council passed an ordinance, proposed by Councilmember Jesse Arreguin, on April 26 that would charge property owners a $250 fee if they fail to deliver an item-ized receipt to their applicants. If the ordinance is approved again next week, then it will become official.

While we believe that the vast majority of landlords abide by the state law, this ordinance keeps property owners honest at virtually no cost to the city and no harm to the landlords.

Because screening fees add up, especially for students, we,

as with any other tenant, deserve to know where our money is being spent.

A more transparent process involving an itemized receipt and resources regarding state law ultimately ensures mutual understanding between renter and landlord.

Our only objection to this ordinance is its date of imple-mentation: January 2013.

The Berkeley Property Owners Association claims that if the ordinance were to be imple-mented immediately, property owners would not have time to be properly educated about the issue — however, property own-ers should already understand and follow state law.

But we also understand that the immediate implementation of this ordinance would be an unfair burden on landlords, given that a lot of rental applica-tions are being processed this month.

We support pushing the implementation date back to January 2012, which would give property owners adequate time to become educated but is not so far off that it would not benefit current students.

It is essential that renters’ rights are understood and that property owners abide by state law — this ordinance accom-plishes both.

Though the current contract offers members of the consortium various amounts of funding through volume incentives, sales of Coca-Cola have been steadily decreasing on campus since the 2005-06 academic year.

We do not think that prolonging the contract for two years in the hopes that the economy will be better is necessarily the best course of action.

Rising fees will undoubtedly leave students with less disposable income, which will ultimately lead to even lower sales and make the campus a less attractive business partner, ultimately resulting in a less than ideal contract.

The negotiators must be willing to consult the student body because, above all else, the stu-dents are the consumers.

Without adequately addressing the concerns of students, it will be impossible for the campus to cre-ate a contract that is mutually beneficial for the campus and for the beverage company.

With the beverage con-tract with Coca-Cola Co. set to expire on Aug.

3, campus negotiators need to per-form a balancing act between practicing good business and rep-resenting students.

There are two viable options on the table: negotiators — represen-tatives of the four-unit campus beverage contract consortium who make up the major stakeholders in the contract, and two student offi-cials — can choose to extend the contract with Coca-Cola for up to two years or open the contract up to other bidders.

Regardless of their decision, the negotiators must use this time before the contract’s expiration to gather information on competi-tors’ prices and possible contracts, as well as to get appropriate input from the student body and the ASUC.

The negotiations must also con-sider the revenue at stake — both from the beverage company and the students’ purchasing power.

Thirsty for a sayCAMPUS ISSUESCampus leaders should consult the voice of students before accepting the terms of a new beverage contract.

OP-ED | I-House Administration

NIKK DANCE/SENIOR STAFF

I am one of a number of residents who requested and attended a forum at the International House Monday evening. Students heard from administrative staff, dining services workers and other resi-dents. In recent weeks AFSCME-represented Dining Services work-ers have leveled the following seri-ous charges against their supervi-sors and the broader I-House man-agement: a long-standing use of temporary positions to avoid hiring the career staff necessary to get the job done; relying on a staffing agen-cy which exacerbates rather than ameliorates difficulties; and foster-ing an adversarial climate in which multiple workers attest to being intimidated.

The response of the I-House administration to concerned students has been partly

conciliatory, part-ly evasive. Campus policy has been invoked to ward off i n f o r m a t i o n requests by resi-dents, and follow-up requests have

elicited informa-tion, but often not that which was requested.

At a forum early in April, Dining Services Director Gary Beitch assured residents that he had close relationships with his employees, and that they were all on the same page. But Executive Director Martin Brennan and Chief Financial Officer Shirley Spiller have repeatedly dem-onstrated that they simply can’t understand where workers are com- I-house: PAGe 5

By Jeff SchauerSpecial to the Daily Cal opinion@dailycal.org

Residents have problems with the administration of I-House and its

treatment of workers.

I-House leadership is unfriendly to workers

ing from in their frustration over the length of time and the process whereby positions are being filled.

Management literally laughed off the idea that dining services staff have experienced intimidation, exhibiting what has come to be the characteristic reluctance where not outright refusal on the part of the administration to see the problem from the other perspective — that of the workers who do the actual work of putting their plans into action from the other end of the profes-sional relationship. There is endless talk about fostering a streamlined, competitive environment, which has workers “snapping at (each oth-er’s) heels,” but little about what all of this means for the day-to-day working conditions (other than the subtext that the I-House, like the University of California as a whole, will be increasingly run along cor-porate lines).

Editorial Cartoon By Maen Mahfoud

OP-ED | David Crane

Demolition was never an option Berkeleyans may be confused and dis-

mayed, as am I, by the escalating rhetoric about demolition of the West and South Branch libraries.

I re-reviewed Measure FF to see if library branch demolition is permitted. The short answer is absolutely not and I urge readers to read the stark reality for themselves.

Voters clearly approved only renovation and improvements, the measure was sold on this basis and FF may well have failed if library demolition was an option.

The sorry conclusion I reach is there has been incompetence, deception or both on the part of library insiders and other city staff, now made much worse by vicious attacks on demolition opponents.

Incompetence. The physical condition and ultimate requirements for all the branches should have been determined prior to floating a bond measure. If there was any uncertainty, then the City Attorney should and could have added two simple words to Measure FF — “or demolish” — to allow for that possibility.

Deception. Some residents believe that there was active deception on the part of bond and demolition proponents who feared that the measure would fail if demo-lition was mentioned. At the same election, voters showed their strong support for pres-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ervation by defeating Measure LL which would have weakened historic preserva-tion rules in the City.

Cuts affect all positions Your article, “Other UC Campuses

Adopt OE Model” (The Daily Californian, April 26, 2011) quoted a UCB professor who commented on “the lack of any prog-ress in chopping from the top.”

In the last 24 months, the campus leadership has eliminated one dean-ship, one vice provostship, 2.5 assistant vice chancellorships or their functional equivalents, two associate vice chancel-lorships, have reduced by 50 percent the time of an assistant chancellor, and replaced two assistant vice provosts and one assistant vice chancellor with their deputies, without replacing the deputy position. There are also two other functional equivalents of assis-tant vice chancellors who were laid off a year ago and not (yet) replaced.

UC Berkeley is facing unprecedented financial challenges due to the contin-ued disinvestment from higher educa-tion by the State of California. The cuts we are facing on campus are difficult, but they are being applied fairly across campus and at all levels of the organi-zation. William W. Reichle

Communications Manager, Operational Excellence

I-HOUSE: Tensions detract from the original ideal of campus housing

The cavalier dismissal of the role of organized labor (one long-term mem-ber of staff had his concerns dismissed by a superior on the grounds that he was a “union man”), and of intimida-tion (one worker was told to take off a union sticker or go home), suggests a management much-removed from the day-to-day lives of its employees, and woefully uninformed about the role of unions in protecting employees’ rights and promoting their welfare.

As a three-year resident, I have cer-tainly been long-aware of a set of griev-ances and tensions that cut across many sectors of the community: whether a dodgy restructuring of RA positions, supervisors who aren’t in the least shy about bawling out employees in front of residents in a manner as unprofessional as it is borderline-abu-sive, an alleged assault on a staff mem-ber that was recently reported in the Daily Cal, the extreme sensitivity of management to criticism, or the par-ing back of residents’ ability to pur-chase flexible dining plans. Those who have been here for longer speak of see-ing even broader shifts and of a fear that I-House is deviating from its mis-sion.

Perhaps it is fitting that an institu-tion that was partially a product of early twentieth-century inter-national ideal-ism, but which grew up in an era increasingly intolerant of o r g a n i z e d labor, should find itself on the front line of labor disputes, which are at the heart of the broader re-positioning of the university as a market-place.

Not only do I-House man-agement’s hir-ing and firing practices have the potential to adversely impact residents’ daily lives by placing kitchen staff under severe pressure, the staff who work at the hall are a real part of our lives. One of the selling points of the International House — which becomes ever more exclusive as it raises rent each year — is its emphasis on community. The profound hypocrisy; the deeply un-communitarian, increasingly corpo-rate outlook; the disrespect towards staff; the occasional condescension towards residents and the tendency to gloss over conflict when it materializ-es all speak to a troubled approach to providing housing for students on campus.

Jeff Schauer is a graduate stu-

The flattering article on David Crane that appeared in the Daily Cal on April 22, “Controversy surrounds appointment of UC Regent,” gave surprisingly short shrift to those opposed to Crane’s appointment. While the reporter contacted me for information about the number of people who signed the Berkeley Faculty Association’s petition opposing Crane’s appointment (1,475), he did not ask to interview me or any other officer of the BFA, and none of our concerns about Crane made it into the article.

The article quotes Crane saying, “What I’m focused on is ... maintaining access and [the UC] remaining the finest public university system in the world.” We all support that idea. The question is whether Crane is going to get us closer to this goal. Not likely.

According to the article, “Crane considers finding alternative revenue streams — rather than focusing on organizational efficiencies — paramount if the university is to maintain its excellence, access and affordability.” Yet Crane never identifies any source of alternative funding beyond a vague reference to the Medical Schools as assets. He has no interest in reducing outsized compensation for top administra-tors. Why isn’t this kind of cost control a part of any strategy to balance the university budget? Crane advocates that pensions now provided by defined-benefit (DB) plans be converted to defined-contri-bution (DC) plans. While this would produce paper

sav-ings for UC, it would cause existing unfunded liabilities to snowball without relieving the universi-ty of its legal duty to fulfill its accrued obligation to existing and future retirees covered by its existing DB plan. Worse, it would make UC’s salary and ben-efits package less competitive, further undermining its ability to recruit and retain world-class faculty and staff.

The fact is Crane is very much like many of the other Regents in background and outlook. Eight of the eighteen publicly appointed Regents made for-tunes in the financial sector — David Crane would be the ninth. From 1979 to 2003 he was a partner in Babcock & Brown, a firm specializing in real estate derivatives that once was worth over $9 billion and went bankrupt when the real estate bubble burst in 2008. Reporter Peter Byrne recently wrote an award winning 8-part report identifying a multitude of potential financial conflicts of interests on the part current Regents who oversee the University’s invest-ments (see http://spot.us/pitches/337-investors-club-how-the-uc-regents-spin-public-funds-into-private-profit/story). Even as a Regent-designate, Crane has taken a lead in pushing the financial sec-tor’s agenda against the interests of all others. If confirmed, he will be another Regent who views the challenges facing the university through the narrow

lens of finance and priva-tization, the very approach that has helped

get us to the sorry state we are in now.

California’s Constitution foresaw that wealth and

political connections could contaminate the Board of

Regents. That is why Article 9 section 9-e defines a twelve member advisory committee that the Governor must consult when naming a candidate for Regent. This process was not followed in Governor Schwarzenegger’s 11th hour appointment of Crane.

California’s Constitution also provides that “Regents shall be able persons broadly reflective of the economic, cultural, and social diversity of the State” (Article 9 section 9-d). But there is no one on the board with experience in what the university does: higher education, research and hospitals. Where are the professors, the scien-tists, the doctors? Where are the humanists and public intellectuals?

Governor Brown should rescind Schwarzenegger’s improper appointment of David Crane and utilize the Constitutionally mandated procedure to select a better candidate. If he won’t do this, the Senate Rules committee — which by law must confirm appointed Regents — should reject Crane and demand that the Governor nominate a better candidate using the legally required method.

report: Area sees increase in arson and violent crime

Total violent crimes decreased 14 percent between 2009 and 2010 and total property crimes between 2009 and 2010 decreased 8 percent, ac-cording to the presentation. Violent crimes include murder, rape, rob-bery and aggravated assault. Prop-erty crimes include burglary, motor vehicle theft and larceny — meaning grand theft, auto burglary and petty theft.

“These numbers are really encour-aging,” said Councilmember Jesse Arreguin. “My hope is that we can see even more of a reduction in rob-beries and other violent crime next year.”

Despite overall decreases, the pre-sentation did show an increase in some types of crimes, including a bump in individual reports of arson and violent crime between January and March 2010 and January and March 2011.

The number of arson crimes that oc-curred between January and March of 2011 was 60 percent greater, compared

to the same time period in 2010. In 2010, there were five reports of arson between January and March versus eight reports of arson from January to March 2011.

According to Harris, at this point, increases did not seem statistically significant, adding that the police department does not know if some of the fires classified as arson were ac-cidental.

Arreguin said part of the reason the arson statistics could be higher may be due to a series of incidents involving people lighting garbage cans on fire throughout Berkeley.

The number of violent crimes from January to March 2011 increased by one percent compared to rates from January to March 2010, meaning one additional violent crime for the 2011 time span due primarily to a spike in the number of robbery incidents in Berkeley.

In addition to the crime reports at the meeting, the police department

also offered a list of recommendations to the Berkeley Unified School District in response to the rise in recent gun activity on the Berkeley High School campus.

The recommendations included improving the district security plan, requiring school-specific identifica-tion, adding school resource officers and making Berkeley High School a closed campus at specific times during the day.

According to a March 31 letter from police Chief Michael Meehan to Superintendent Bill Huyett, the department considers restricting ac-cess to the high school campus its “highest priority recommendation” in part because “problems occur be-cause non-students freely travel on campus and mingle with our stu-dents.”

“The recent incidents where people are bringing guns on campus really require us to re-evaluate the security measures,” Arreguin said.

Study: China’s energy consumption to level off within 20 yearsBy Anjuli Sastry | Staffasastry@dailycal.org

CheCk onlinewww.dailycal.org

Anjuli Sastry talks about the study and the stabilization in Chinese energy consumption.

China’s energy consumption is expected to stabilize within 20 years if policy developments in environmen-tal sustainability and energy efficiency are implemented, according to a new study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s China Energy Group released April 27.

Contrary to popular belief that China’s energy use and greenhouse gas emissions will continue to rise above other countries’ usage, the study takes into account the long-term impact of China’s energy im-provements and the strength of its policy changes in determining Chi-na’s energy levels’ eventual peak and levelling off around 2035.

The study is different from past macroeconomic research that solely factor in a country’s Gross Domes-tic Product to calculate energy con-sumption and instead focuses on constant appliance usage that will eventually flatten out due to de-creased demand — a process known as “saturation” — according to Mark Levine, lead author of the report and leader of the China Energy Group.

“It’s a way of looking at China’s energy in terms of current and fu-ture scenarios and the consumption versus supply side,” said Nina Zheng, co-author of the report and senior re-search associate at the China Energy Group. “It takes current policies and actions into consideration, such as how people use appliances and how lighting will effect the whole country and its consumption emissions.”

The two scenarios the study used to predict consumption were a “continued improvement scenario,” which saw energy consumption rates declining between 2030 and 2035, and an aggressive “accelerated im-provement scenario,” which required more resources and rapid policy im-plementation to level off energy rates

in 2025, according to Zheng.The likelihood of either scenario and

rate of occurrence depends on energy demand for household appliances, con-sumption of iron and steel to construct homes and railroads and overall instal-lation of renewable energy, said Nan Zhou, a co-author of the report.

“While China will put pressure on oil demand, a point will be reached when it will really be stabilized, and that could happen earlier if they had electric vehicles implemented on a larger scale,” Levine said.

Though China surpassed the United States in 2007 as the world’s top emit-ter of greenhouse gases, the country’s switch to electric cars, expansion of nuclear power and reduction in coal usage for energy production in the coming decades are just a few of the many policy changes that convince sci-entists of China’s energy consumption eventual levelling off and reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.

“Even if China were to do nothing to reduce emissions associated with the supply of energy — which is large-ly coal — China has always tried to change the fuel mix of energy supply, and it won’t be a large culprit regard-ing CO2 emissions,” Levine said.

A similar report released by the Imperial London College last month also looked at the non-fossil fuel power generation and energy-inef-ficient emissions — something that will have a significant impact on trends in China, according to mem-bers of the China Energy Group.

“There’s a common notion that China will dominate the world,” Zhou said. “Our conclusion tells us that China will not grow infinitely, they will reach a peak and plateau when their economy is developed. Until they reach their peak level, the Chinese have the right to improve their living standards.”

Bart: Changes may shorten seat width

Examples of seat widths and materi-als used in other major cities around the world were available for partici-pants to test and compare.

“We want to engage the public and get their ideas, since many people have traveled to different places and have seen other examples of public transit,” Raburn said. “Seats are what the majority of people come into con-tact with, and we know a lot of people are concerned with cleanliness.”

Presently, BART boasts the wid-est seats in the nation at 22 inches. But proposed changes to the trains include shortening the seat width in order to expand aisle space for load-

ing and unloading efficiency and adding a third door to trains.

Giovana Orozco stopped by the seat lab on her way to a Cinco de Mayo cel-ebration in Fruitvale. Orozco, a San Le-andro resident who takes BART regu-larly to get to school, said she preferred the leather seats because they would be easier to keep clean than fabric.

“When you hold onto something on BART and then smell your hand, it’s gross,” she said.

The next stop on the seat lab tour will be May 11 at the San Francisco State University campus. At least seven other events are planned over the course of the year, including a po-tential stop at UC Berkeley.

Softball: Henderson tames Bruins

Henderson’s performance was key to helping Cal hang close on Sunday, as she struck out nine batters and did not allow a single earned run in the complete-game effort.

“I felt like Jolene really kept us in,” Williams said. “She keeps us in every single game when she is on the mound.”

The three-game sweep against the Bruins marked the end of the Cal’s

home season and final push for the rest of conference play.

“This is the type of game that you can expect to be playing in the post-season,” Ninemire said of Sunday’s contest. “I hope that this will be one of the things that we can draw from going down the stretch when we need to — to know and believe that we can come through when we need to.”

Kelly Suckow covers softball.

Jill Costello would have been proud.

Dedicating this year’s Big Row to the former coxswain who passed away from lung cancer last June, the Cal men’s and women’s crew teams both emerged victorious against Stanford this past Saturday at Red-wood Shores, Calif.

The Cal women raced as “Team Jill,” wearing matching uniforms and using blades in Costello’s favorite color, aquamarine. Outside of successes and the Bay Area rivalry, every participant showed support for Costello by sport-ing ribbons in her honor.

“We all felt Jill was there with us today,” women’s head coach Dave O’Neill said. “I hope we made her proud.”

Added men’s coach Mike Teti: “To-day was really all about Jill and the inspiration that she has instilled in all of us. I think Jill would have been proud of both Cal and Stanford to-day.”

The No. 3 women’s team upset second-ranked Stanford in three out of the four races — the women have now won all but two meetings since 1997. The Bears’ varsity 8+ reclaimed the Lambert Cup after outracing the Cardinal by four seconds for the final time of 6:20.

“The V8 was fantastic, and that was their best race of the year,”

By Camellia Senemar | Staff csenemar@dailycal.org

O’Neill said. “They stayed relaxed and cool when they were down, and had the confidence to move on a very talented and fast Stanford crew.”

The varsity 4+ Bears also extended their lead with a time of 7:29.6 to the Cardinal’s 7:35.3. The freshmen 8+ boat followed after with a strong performance, clocking in at 7:10.5 against 7:29.1 for Stanford.

The team’s only defeat on the day was the junior varsity race, where the Bears were just two seconds short of Stanford’s leading time of 6:35.

“It was tough losing the 2V8, but that crew put up a great fight,” O’Neill said. “Their second 1000m was terrif-ic. Losing never feels good, but they’re heading in the right direction.”

There was that minor slip-up for the women, but the No. 2 Cal men’s team rowed to victory in all three races against No. 11 Stanford, and has now won 20 of the previous 21 encounters with its cross-bay rival. The Bears were flawless en route to securing the Schwabacher Cup for the second consecutive year.

“All the boats raced very well to-day,” Teti said. “Stanford is pretty strong, and the races were tight at the start, but we were able to open it up in the second half.

The varsity 8+ competition marked the closest race, as the Bears emerged victorious with the final time of 5:39-5:48. The freshmen 8+ boat dominated as they won 5.51.2 to Stanford’s 6:22. Camellia Senemar covers crew.
