Other a ltern atives studied were adopting an entirely new semester or trimester system.Trimesters last 12 1/2 weeks, compared to 10 weeks in the quarter and 15 in the semester systems.While students would remain in classes longer in the trimester calendar, they also receive more vacation days — 39 as opposed to 26 in the quarter system.“I would hope that as we think about this that we look beyond the classical quarter (and) semester systems and look at something that can fit our needs most directly,” Baker said.He said the trimester system increases the amount of instruction time, creating more educational opportunity for students.Baker said he hope the system would provide “the opportunity for the students to be more productive in getting from...entrance to graduation.”Euel Kennedy, chair of the C om m ittee to Study the Calendering System, said the trimester calendar is “extremely flexible.” But, he said, the committee also had its reservations.“I think the committee was initially concerned about why colleges and universities were shifting away from trimesters,” Kennedy said.Edgar Carnegie, agricultural See TRIMESTER, page 9ASI’s budget excursion a slap of fiscal realityBy Amy Hooper Staff WriterSACRAMENTO — Four Cal Poly student leaders took a whirlwind trip here Wednesday to show Central Coast legislators how budget cuts will impact students, but drove away mostly dismayed with their reception.ASI President Kristin Burnett, her predecessor Marquam Piros, Engineering Director Phil Eugenio and Kwame Reed, president of Alpha Phi Alpha, an African-American fraternity, left the university shortly after 8 a.m. yesterday, and were hoping to be back by midnight.The foursome made the five- hour drive in an ASI minivan, planning their strategy while passing through flat agricultural areas along Interstate 5.The students wanted to discuss the state’s commitment to financial aid, the effect of the budget cuts on the quality of their education, the charter concept and troubles with the California .State Students Association with legislators.But they came away from their appointments with Ass e m b l y w o m a n A n d r e a Seastrand (R-33rd District) and state Senator Gary Hart (D- Santa Barbara) largely dis- See ASPS TRIP, page 3Despite gay debate, ROTC is ‘just fine’Finances are on Poly recruits’ mindsBOW"By Todd Hogan Staff Writer_______Their message is “Be all you can be,” but in order to attract recruits with radio spots, slick magazine ads or fancy T.V. commercials, the United States Army must spend millions of dollars in advertising costs — money the Army no longer has.And the effect, officials said in a recent report, is the lowest number of qualified recruits in 10 years.According to a recent Associated Press report. Pentagon officials blame an advertising budget hklved since 1989, misconceptions about defense cuts and the controversy surrounding gays in the military for hindering the Armed Forces from recruiting qualified youths to fill vacancies and maintain a future- oriented force.Yet d esp ite a gen era l downward trend in Army recruitment, Cal Poly’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) will next year boast its largest class since 1988.What gives?In a nutshell — money.As Cal Poly students are being asked to foot more of their educational bill while in the midst of a depressed economy, more and more students are looking for alternate financial options.Thus, many students — especially students with prior military service — are turning to ROTC as a solution, said Maj. John Bachmann, military science department head.“We’re doing OK,” Bachmann said. “When you consider the cuts going on in the Defense Department, ROTC is doing just fine.”»mmDi^ ; t / Si iiwSHERRY GURTLER/Mustang DailyPoly ROTC students in class Tuesday: They’re not being scared away by controversial issues.According to ROTC literature.

Woo, a city councilman, is a D em ocrat and R iordan, a rich businessman, is a Republican.

He said a contract would “pK)tentially save Cal Poly from considerable damage and make the city some money.”The city would respond to on- campus emergencies from its present station houses at an annual cost of $100,000.But the city would not respond to medical calls as Cal Poly Fire has.Public Safety Services Director Joe Risser said the primary response to medical calls on campus would be the University Police, who are being trained in first aid and CPR. If further assistance were needed, San Luis Ambulance would be called.One Cal Poly student — speech communication senior Ray Hais-Doyle — told the Council the changes in medical response would endanger campus safety. He said he had four years’ experience as a Poly student firefighter, and cited an incident where quick response might have been invaluable.Hais-Doyle said a student was thrown from a horse last weekand suffered a punctured lung. The few minutes difference inresponse time between Cal Poly Fire and San Luis Ambulance may have prevented the injury from becoming critical, he said.Council member Settle, who is also a Cal Poly political science professor, had misgivings about the ability of the city to adequately protect the campus. He said his “no” vote on the measure was a protest of the closing of Cal Poly Fire.Settle said he would prefer to see Cal Poly Fire saved or preserved as a volunteer service.Risser’s said neither option was practical.“Volunteer companies sound free — they’re not,” he said.Both Settle and Mayor Peg Pinard expressed concern over campus safety conditions.“I think you’ve got major problems on your campus,” Pinard said.Pinard said the only fire service option for the university, other than the city fire department, is the San Luis Obispo County Fire Department, located to the far south.She said the city was the best option available.“(Poly is) going to shut (Cal Poly Fire) down. Who can service (the campus) better?” she asked. “The county is that much farther away.”ASPS TRIPF ro m page 1mayed by their reception in the busy capital building.In fact, Seastrand didn’t keep her 2 p.m. appointment and instead attended a Ways and Means Committee meeting.“I don’t feel particularly empowered right now,” Burnett said. “I felt like they both had very busy schedules. I felt like they were rushed.”Because Seastrand was in the meeting, the students briefly spoke with Mary Ann Coppinger, her administrative assistant.But they did talk with Hart for 20 minutes on the Assembly floor, where he was waiting to testify on a bill about electric vehicles.The general consensus of the group was that Hart was more informed about students’ concerns — and the charter concept, which could affect Cal Poly immensely — than Seastrand’s assistant.In fact, the students took exception to the way which Coppinger characterized constituents expressing their concerns.Coppinger told the group that Seastrand’s election sadly coincided with the beginning of the state’s budgetary problems.“It’s been unfortunate this year when she took office,” Coppinger said to them. “The bottom fell out under everything.”“She had to meet all these people that come in,” she continued- “And they’re all crying — everyone, every entity in the state.”That didn’t go over well with Piros, who later said Coppinger was “uninformed” and “noncommittal” about educational issues.“It seemed like their perception of us is that we just wanted to come up to get something,” he said. “And what we mainly wanted to do was try to educate them about the effects of their decisions on us.”Eugenio echoed Piros’ sentiments.“They expected us to ask for something, but we didn’t ask for anything,” he said.Instead, ASI leaders said, the trip was largely to inform the lawmakers what effect their actions have on students. And tothat extent, the trip was a success, Burnett said.“We accomplished our first goal, and that was just to communicate with them and to let them know we exist,” she said. “But we want to establish a relationship.”One successful element of the trip, Burnett said, was that they were able to impress upon lawmakers the importance of passing the state’s new budget on time. That way, she said, “i f they do establish a fee increase, we can have some prepared planning for it.”Custom PrintedG R A D U A TIO N ANNO UNCEM ENTSOn Our StationeryPrices Starting A t Only $ 2 0 fo r 2 5 AnnouncementsOGDEN’S894 Footh ill • U niversity Square Two Day Service_______ __________ 544-3303S I I í E bargian shows in (parentheses):T 'î'î'î HWY 101 BTWN OAK PARK ANDBRISCO RD.

The spitting.But there is always something I won’t know until the game starts: Will I have a good time or not?Because in-between the fast breaks and the muscling for rebounds, there are, sometimes, those people who prefer to make the game more than it is — to weigh it with a seriousness befitting game seven of the NBA finals and the feeling that millions of dollars have been wagered on the outcome.With so much on the line, some people go a little crazy trying to prove their point — dammit, in this capitalist society I’m going to win, and that means everywhere — even a 94 by 50 hunk of blacktop.The use of specific language is the first indication that things are stepped up a bit. And I’m not just referring to cursing. Playing at the courts requires a special, professional vocabulary.“Num bers” for anyone who doesn’t know, means that the fast breaking team has a man- advantage on the retreating defense. “Outlet,” refers to the guy who takes the pass off a defensive rebound.These are catch phrases adopted from watching television coverage of the professionals.Even more coded js the term, “my bad.” When I returned to school last fall, after a year’s absence, this phrase had me baffled.Then I figured out that it identifies guilt.Paralleling a recent American trend, it’s a simple way for someone to take responsibility for something done wrong. Basketball players, too, have to be sure everyone knows they’re not screwing up on purpose, thus jeopardizing victory.Sometimes, though, people just scream at the top of their lungs.“Chris, dammit, what are you doing!?” I remember a guy yelling once — hands on the side of his head — after one particularly horrific “my bad.’’But the seriousness sometimes manifests itself even more blatantly. Take, for example, one■■■The thing is, I hate jogging, and one can only swim so many laps.very bad experience I had recently*My friend Geoff and I got into a five-on-five in which we were on the same team. The opposing five towered over our squad. The guy who guarded me was a red- haired version of “The Incredible Hulk.”But we put up a great fight. Geoff hustled for rebounds underneath the basket. The others on our team sank some great shots. We played with heart.And we stayed with them. At 15 baskets — when most games usually end — we were ahead. But somehow it had been decided that the game was going to 21.“Why are you quitting?” they asked.As fate would have it, we barely lost in the end.But it was a moral victory. We were right there even though Geoffs opponent flagrantly battered him every time down the court, and “The Hulk” would complain on those occasions when Geoff called a foul:“That’s not the way we play where I come from,” the Hulk would say.The Hulk, like the others that were on his team, must come from a place where people can’t stand losing a game so much that theyll do everything in their power to prevent it from happening.Basketball, I realize, can be a physical game. But when my usually mild-mannered friend Geoff is about ready to clock someone afterward, it’s gone too far. How naive of me, I thought, to try to have fun out there.Of course, I could just stop going. But the thing is, I hate jogging, and one can swim only so many laps.And so I return. What keeps me coming back is that most people are sincere, and want to be competitive — but not mean- spirited. As in many things, though, there are those select few who have to ruin it.And when these few appear, it seems their attitude hangs around long after they’re gone, and becomes an inextricable part of the landscape.Anyone who has any lingering doubts about lagging American competitiveness need look no further than the courts behind Mott Gym.Kevin Dalrymple ia a journalism senior.

From basic physicals to life- threatening emergencies, these facilities are quiet treasures and should not be financially strangled; yet many health services are in danger of being cut.As students, we will soon be faced with a $400 to $600 transport fee for medical emergencies following the fire department’s closure this summer.A basic pre-employment physical (the idea here is to get a job, isn’t it?) is currently provided for the price of a health card at our very own Health Center. A good portion of the student body would be unable to afford the true cost of that physical, $70 to $150.We should all be very concerned that we are gradually losing many low-cost services provided by the Health Center and the campus fire department, and that these unjust “budgetary shortfalls” will continue until Cal Poly can be properly administrated by people unselfish enough to keep the student’s best interest in mind and not the best interest on a six-figure income.Stan Langland Soil ScienceLoud VoiceHas anyone seen the Voice XIII? It was definitely a strange combination of different viewpoints and unusual ideas, some of which were even well thought out.However, Paul Lancaster was back with his usual proclivity for gay bashing and other violent tendencies. I myself was not particularly enamored of Paul’s unsubstantiated claims on homosexuality being an “unnatural act,” or “biologically incorrect.” I think he was far clearer with his First Amendment rights in expressing his desire to make sure that homosexuals are denied the same because of their “biological incorrectness.” I also liked the way he asserted his right to bear arms in his desire to, how was it he put it, “beat the shit out of the Pansy.” This was all topped off with the great dysfunctional statement that if we stop acknowledging homosexuality, it will go away.My response is this: I am part of nature and my homosexual behavior reflects that. My “biological incorrectness” is based on the fact that I see sex as an extension of love for another human being, not an obligation to continue a pointless existence. I also think that history has shown time and time again that the irrational will always resort to violence when unable to justify their claims and prejudices.So remember, bigot man, when you go to thump the Pansy, society has a special place for you and I would love for you to show the world who you really are and what exactly it is you believe. The beauty of it all is that I did not need to respond in any way, because, given enough rope, you will hang yourself, in time.Ken Robins BusinessMustang Daily PoliciesCommentaries and reporter's notebooks are the opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of Mustang Daily.

Printad by UnIvarsity Graphic Systams20, 1ÇÇ3&Multimedia show airs beauty of Gothic architectureBy K nsti RampoldiStaff WriterMedieval architecture holds many hidden secrets and has a captivating beauty modem architects seem unable to discover, according to a Cal Poly architecture professor.Sandra Lakeman will be giving a presentation, “Una Bella Veduta,” describing her photography exhibition in Italy that attempted to capture the timelessness of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century architecture.Lakeman’s multimedia slide and video presentation will be held May 24 at 7 p.m. in Chumash Auditorium.The presentation will be followed by a reception in the University Union Galerie to support the event and give the audience a chance to discuss Lakeman’s work.The Italian exhibition, called “Natural Light and the Italian Piazza,” displayed Lakeman’s photogp’aphic documentation of the natural light and beauty of the Gothic civic realm.The exhibition was held at the Cortile del Podestà, Palazzo Publico, in Siena, Italy.Piazza translates to plaza, which Lakeman said is a large, open space where people like to gather and watch other people. S'he said piazzas may include a small amphitheater and small cafes.Lakeman’s photographic images are presented in an experiential walk through the medieval environment.The images begin with her arri i^ al on the shores of Italy; they move through the countryside, follow streets and end up in thepiazza.A comprehensive series of shots explain the characteristics of the light and particulars of the piazza, Lakeman said.Lakeman said her photography focused on how people respond to light and shadow in urbiin space.“I try to capture images that are timeless,” Lakeman said. “The moment is very important.”Reviews of the exhibition called it a complete success.“Cognition, c larity , and beauty, identify and express most pertinently the overall sense of an articulate exhibition presented by Lakeman,” said La Nazione, an Italian newspaper.Lakeman said she has concentrated on the study of natural light and the Italian piazza for fifteen years. “There is a premise that builders understood natural light and built urban open space in relationship to the orientation of the sun,” she said.Lakeman said she is hoping her presentation will influence the thinking of city planners, politicians, architects and the public with respect to natural light.“It’s an attempt to teach people in a subliminal way about light, so they can become more aware of light — so they can design with light,” she said.Lakeman said the United States does not have anything comparable to the Italian piazza.“We are very lacking in the U.S. in what they have there,” she said.Cal Poly’s American Institute of Architecture Students (IAS) is one of many groups sponsoring Lakeman’s presentation.The president of IAS, MikeaPhoto by Sfonna Zoom“Natural Light and the Italian Piazza” was shown at Cortile del Podestà, Palazzo Publico, in Siena, Italy.Engel, said the event is very exciting for him because there is always a push for the architecture clubs to bring in sp>eakers.“This event is to try and expose some of the research and some of the projects that people right here in our own backyardare' doing,” Engel said. “Our own professors are equal to, or at a higher level, than other architects from the outside.”Blackberry jam spreads its soulful jazz at local clubsBy Heather CrookstonStaff WriterWhat happens when seven Cal Poly musicians are mixed with a full horn section and a let of jazz?

Thisweek alone the band has scheduled five gigs at various locations.So why are they so popular?“We are a soul band with integrity,” said Dave Stark, a city and regional planning graduate student and the band’s tenor saxophone player.Blackberry Jam also includes guitar player Charles King,drummer Billy Flynn, bass player Wyeth Stiles, trombone player Dave Mayerhofer, trumpet player Terrance Hagan, and Mondo, the female vocalist of the band.Stark said the band plays mostly cover songs like “Tenderness” by Otis Redding, “Dr. Feelgood” by Aretha Franklin and “Spinning Wheel” by Blood,'if■ ■STEVE PIERCE/Mustang DallyThe seven Cal Pbly musicians who make up Blackberry Jam played their first gig together at Linnaea’s.Sweat and Tbars.“They (the covers) are not exactly like the recordings,” Stark said. “They are really cool interpretations.”Blackberry Jam’s first gig was on a Tuesday night at Linnaea’s Cafe, Stark said. He said he wasn’t expecting much of a crowd because Tuesday was one of the coffee shop’s slowest nights. Stark said he was surprised at the turnout.“It was hilarious,” he said. “Linnaea’s was packed on a Tuesday night.”The performance at Linnaea’s was not only Blackberry Jam’s first gig, it was Mondo’s first time singing in front of an audience. “I was scared as hell,” she said. “I’ve never been in a band before.”But after that first performance, Mondo said she got over her stage fright. “I can’t picture myself doing anything else,” she said. “I love to sing. It’s the love of my life.”Stark said playing at Linnaea’s was just the beginning. After the group played. Stark said he “felt like we were onto something.”“They (the crowd) grooved,” he said. “After we played, the manager came up to us and said. When would you like to play again?’”Stark said Blackberry Jam has gotten all their gigs without giving out one demo tape.“Everything’s been on reputation,” he said.“And a lot of luck,” King added.Since then. Blackberry Jam has played at T.A.’s Cantina and Sweet Springs Saloon in Los Osos.For King, the performance at T.A.’s Cantina brings back the most memories. He said the band that was scheduled to play was canceled, so Blackberry Jam was asked to take their place.“It turned out we were all able to make it,” King said. “It was a fun show.”Mondo shared King’s enthusiasm. “We were gellin’ together, and the crowd was really getting into it,” she said. “We ran out of songs, but the crowd didn’t want us to leave.”Stark said there are no other bands in the area like Blackberry Jam, and described their music as “real soul.”W e’re not an anal reten^ i^ve band. Things are a little bit looser,” Stark said. W e’re not exactly perfect, but it feels good, and that’s what soul music is all about.”Blackberry Jam is playing tonight at Sweet Springs Saloon in Los Osos at 9:30 p.m. The band plays on KCPR Saturday from 8 to 10 p.m., and Sunday at Brubeck’s Cellar from 4 to 6 p.m., and at Loco Ranchero at 10 p.m.'J fiuxicía^. y i/ lu y no. jg g s < ^ tu ita n ^ ^ a l f yLaguna Seca waves in a weekend music festivalÂm.'■1Photo by Michael HalsbandThe band Phlsh believes in making every performance different.By Kristina RockholdStaff WritorLaguna Seca Daze, a two-day festival featuring some of the hottest party bands on the road this summer, is just around the next bend.Music ranging from rock & roll and hippie m usic to mainstream alternative and folk guitar ballads will be featured May 28 and 29 at the Laguna Seca Recreation Area, on Highway 68 between Monterey and Salinas.The Allman Brothers Band, who released their first album in 1969, and just released their first official live album since Richard Nixon was in the White House,will perform as part of the Saturday concert.The seven-member band is known for its American rock & roll classics “Revival,” “Dreams,” “Melissa” and “End of the Line.”Phish, whose live shows have begun to attract a following much like that of the Grateful Dead, will also play Saturday. Phish member IVey Anastasio said in a press relecae that performing live is the band’s passion.“Every night should be different than the last one,” Anastasio said. “Sometimes we throw these beach balls out into the audience, and each one corresponds to a different band member, and each of us is jam-ming along according to what’s happening to our particular beach ball — the crowd is controlling the music.”Playing with them is Blues Traveler, a band that has performed with Lynyrd Skynrd, the Jerry Garcia Band and Carlos Santana. The band released it’s third album, “Save His Soul,” last April after a motorcycle accident forced it to take a break from its music.Bassist Bobby Sheehan said in a press release the time off was probably a blessing because it gave members a chance to redirect their musical goals and focus on the production of the new album.“The month break allowed us time to brood over what we’d done thus far,” he said. “By the time we got back together, we had studied our work and really knew what we wanted to do with this project.”Shawn Colvin, too, is part of Saturday’s lineup. Colvin, who walked away with a Grammy for “B est C ontem porary Folk Recording” in 1991 has made appearances on NBC’s “Late Night with David Letterman” and “The Tonight Show.” In a press release, Colvin said the mood and technique of her music has changed since the release of “Steady On,” her first album.“I came to my first record as kind of a budding songwriter,” she said. “My lesson for myself on that record was actually to be able to write about what I was feeling in a very simple way.The Jeff Healey Band, who also performs Saturday, is another band that has grown musically and personally, according to its press release.The Canadian trio’s vocalist and guitar player, Jeff Healey,has been blind since he was a baby and has played guitar since he was three.“The whole band has gotten a lot better than it was on earlier albums,” he said. “Fm playing with greater feel, and the more you do that, the more people canunderstand what you’re trying to do.”Sunday’s show will feature both Blues Traveler and Phish for a second time, and two other bands as well.The band 10,000 Maniacs is a unique combination of folk, reggae, country and rock.The group, known for it’s 1987 and 1989 releases “In My Tribe” and “Blind Man’s Zoo,” uses “sharp and poignant images,” according to a biography of the band.Lead vocalist Natalie Merchant said her songs are expressive because she wants her listeners to feel her message.“Musicals a direct expression of a soulful experience,” Merchant said. “We’ve always tried to create songs that move us. Otherwise, you can’t expect them to move other people.”The Samples, a band that says it survived the hardest of times by living off of supermarket “samples,” also performs Sunday. Band members say the group m i x e s mus i c and philosophy to grab listeners.“A lot of people feel they have to sell out - then there’s no integrity to their music, there’s nothing behind it,” band member Sean Kelly said in a press release. “We aren’t looking at anything in terms of industry standards — that can be the kiss of death.”Tickets fo r the fes tiva l are $26.50 fo r one day a n d $48 for two days.gáriPhoto by Michaol Halsband10,000 Maniacs is a unique mix of folk, reggae, country and rock.The Names; a band that gives covers their own spinBy Christopher Black Staff WriterIn the tradition of supergroups like The Police and Rush, the Central Coast has given birth to a three-piece band of its own, but you won’t hear it from them.The Names, featuring Michael Cerda (bass, vocals), John Chacon (guitar, vocals), and drummer J.R. Cavalli, are an unpretentious triumvirate whose first priority is the music, not the musicians.Talking about their songscomes easy for them; talking about themselves is much more difficult. Nonetheless, through their veil of modesty, a genuine respect and pride in each other’s talents is apparent as they discuss their music.“We’re a three-member band where everyone makes the most of their instrument and their voice,” said Cerda.The band, which only has been together since Christmas, plays a brand of music similar to the style of U2 or Sting.Along with their original material. The Names pull from arepertoire of covers they perform with a rhythmic cleanliness and cohesiveness that is rare for a band that’s only been together for a short time.“The band has really come a long way in five months,” said Steve Royal, The Names’ sound and equipment coordinator, “and I think that’s a tribute to their work ethic.”What seems to set The Names apart from other bands who incorporate cover songs in their shows is the creative treatment of the songs. The band goes beyond simply playing coversSTEVE PIERCE/Mustang DailyThe triumvirate performs at U.U. hour today and SLO Brew tonight at 8 p.m. — their first headlining gig.that fit a particular format by changing them to fit the personality of the band as well.“Whenever we do a cover, we try and make it our own; we reinterpret it through our feelings for the song,” Cerda said. “As individuals, each member of the band does something different ... adapting the song to their own style until it comes together into something that’s ours.”Moving cover songs in new directions is symbolic of The Names’ philosophy. The band’s main objective is to constantly change and evolve their original material with a sense of discipline and professionalism.“We’re trying to take our music to the next level, to keep developing,” said Cavalli.Cavalli attributes the band’s cohesiveness to Royal, whom he refers to as the band’s “secret weapon.”“For everything that goes onstage, you need someone who knows what’s going on offstage,” he said.“Someone has to take care of all that stuff, and Steve does it for us. He knows the band inside and out, and that’s important to make a show a little bit better.”The Names first started as Mike and John a year ago. Their first gig was on Cinco de Mayo at Tbrtilla Flats and was strictly acoustic. Chacon says the band was in the process of finding a drummer then. Royal, who was friends with Cavalli, had seen Mike and John and served as the liaison in getting the three to meet.“We jammed once, and that was it,” said Cerda.Before becoming one of The Names, Cavalli was workingsolo. “In my frustration (of not finding a group), I started working on some of my own stuff,” he said. “I was really itching to get that work going when I saw these guys had a lot of potential.”Cavalli brought to the band a variety of skills he learned from his father and acquired while playing in an extraordinary setting.“I used to play in this old- timer’s gig with guys that were 50 years my senior,” he said. “We played waltzes, foxtrots and Latin pieces; that’s where I learned to develop a real sense for music.”The group prides itself on being very collaborative, with everyone having an equal voice, including Royal. “Everybody has an established role, and nobody’s afraid to push the others in the right direction,” said Cerda.The Names are reluctant to set long-term goals, asserting that taking care of the present and evolving the music are foremost in their minds.The band agrees their current goal is to put on a great show tonight at SLO Brewing Co., their first headlining gig. The show starts at 9 p.m., with Jenn Guttler opening.The Names also will be playing today in the University Union during activity hour at 11 a.m.The Names alluded to the possibility of recording an e.p., tentatively titled “Ashley,” and performing shows down south. Currently, theyVe slated to open up for Tbo Jones in June in Santa Barbara.The N am es can be seen every o ther F riday a t T ortilla F lats d u rin g H appy Hour.¿J \/[\xúan^ ÌòaiH^ U^ Í iu i íd a i j , le at local gyms, and tickets are available at GNC, Estrada Gym, Vic’s Gym and the Weight Room Fitness Center.«**«<»#*Cuesta M aster Chorale, under the direction of^Thomas Davies, presents pa season finale this Saturd^ at 6:1 Sp.m. at the New Life Comm u n i ty Church o f the Nazarene in Pismo Beach.Tickets can be purchased by contacting the Cuesta College Music Department.»*««***KCPR is holding a "Make Our Lobby Scary* contest in celebration of the release of Monster Magnet’s new allMim.

In the years following, enrollment dropped. And this year, 64 students are enrolled.Next fall, however, 27 students will enter the Advanced Course (the final two-year stage of ROTC), which is nearly twice as many as those who entered this fall, Bachmann said.“I’m sure the increase has something to do with the economy,” Bachmann said. “That and the phenomenal number of prior service students in the program.”Currently, 33 of the 64 ROTC participants are militaryveterans, Bachmann said.In addition to financial incentives drawing students to ROTC, Bachmann attributes an increase in enrollment to a variety of options once the cadets are commissioned.“ROTC graduates don’t have to go active duty like many people believe,” Bachmann said. “As a matter of fact, it’s very competitive to win an active duty commission these days.”Alternatives for fulfilling their military obligation include an eight-year tour in the National Guard or Army Reserve.If, however, a reserve unit isn’t available, the newly-commissioned second lieutenants may fulfill their obligations in the Ready Reserve (a nonactive reserve status), Bachmann said.TRIMESTERFrom page 1engineering department head and a member of the committee, said a change to the trimester system would require “playing with” the clock.He said the 60-minute class periods required with a trimester — with 10 minute passing periods — would create “a funny hour.”“Maybe sometime around noon, we’d want to fix the clock,” he said. “We could have a common block of thirty minutes that there’d be no classes.”Baker’s support for thetrimester system also runscounter to the results of a faculty survey conducted by thecalendering committee.The survey found only 32 percent of the faculty “positive” or “very positive” about thetrimester system; 14 percent felt “indifferent” and 54 p>ercent “negative” or “very negative” about it.The calendering committee concluded that the best change would be to a semester system, followed by the modified quarter system.Also at Tuesday’s Academic Senate meeting:• The Senate briefly discussed its recommendation to reduce state funding to the athletics department by 50 percent.Andrea Brown, an associate professor of physical education, said it “seems ironic that we as faculty are trimming positions and (associate professors) are not getting our merit salary, while athletics (is) bringing in two new coaches for one program at $80,000 a piece,” she said.Brown wouldn’t name the program, but the Cal Poly Athletics Department last year brought in Brooks Johnson and 'Ibrry Crawford to head the cross country and track and field programs.“The second issue is they owe us — academic instructional programs — $350,000,” Brown added.She said the athletics department has a payment plan, but asked not to repay $6,000 this year — money they say they do not have.Free Engraving Wednesday May 26 Want- 4pm__ ^S I N C E 1 8 4 6A GIFT THAT SUITS GRADUATES JUST FINE.

Stanley Mrxire “whisked away my entire career with the stroke of a pen,” Nicholson said.He had done nothing illegal; he did not commit a crime. But Nicholson is gay and, according to him, that is intolerable behavior in the Green Beret Corp.He had earned a name for himself in the Army’s special forces division. He served in the infantry, airborne and was a special forces and field medic. He was a trained weapons specialist and was on his way to becoming a flight officer.“My record as a soldier was exemplary, flawless. I walked among the best of the best...but none of this seemed to matter to them anymore, for the image of the U.S. Army Green Berets was at stake.”After the numbness began to wear off, at the forefront of the hundreds of thoughts running through his head was: “I’m being discharged from the army for being gay, for being myself,” he said.In the five years since that December morning, Nicholson has disengaged himself from the military entirely and “assimilated” back into society, he said.Next June, he’ll graduate from Cal Poly with hopes of working for an environmental engineering firm.He was honorably discharged with the help of a good lawyer and the Army’s unwillingness to attract the public attention a court-marshal could cause, he said.But over those five years, despite his willingness to forget the “nightmare” and the dreams it stole from him, Nicholson said he has come to some conclusions.“I will admit, if they allow gay men and women in the military, there will be problems,” he said.H o m o p h o b i a an d the military’s policy of barring gays share the same roots: fear and ignorance, he said.Incidents like the one in South Carolina where Marines “intentionally “ entered a gay bar to beat up a gay soldier may increase as a consequence, Nicholson said.“It may be difficult at first, but it’s a step in the right direction for total equality,” he said.DEUUr REALITYL ondon^^ $259*Amsterdam $315*Paris $328»Milan $415*• Fares from Los Angeles and arc each way based on a rouxJtnp purchase.

John G. Strother Jr., a San Luis Obispo Army recruiter. “I mean, come on, “Be all you can be?’ How many qualified people are going to respond to that? Not many.”Strother said his best advertising comes from “prior serviceto country,” and from word of mouth.“Families usually have someone who was in the military and they talk about it," Strother said. “That attracts people.”Other attractions which help Strother sell the Army to potential recruits are financial incentives.For high school students, the Army College Fund — now up to $30,000 for a four-year tour —seems to be the big draw. For college students, practical job experience and a $55,000 college loan repayment incentive are the big sellers, Strother said.As for those fancy T.V. spots: “People don’t usually walk in and say, Hey, I saw the ad on T.V. I want to join,” said Strother, who is approaching the end of his second year as a recruiter in this area. “That’s happened just once.”SJUOO CHICKSULTAN'S A U TO M O TIVE'Spring Special'$ 1 9 . 9 5 + $ 7 . 0 0C e rlilic a le(Light Vehicles Only) . p 5 j5(FORMERLY M A R S H A R C O )2978 S.

May 20 , 1993SportsMUSTANG D a il yNielsen/Reyes reach fínalsCal Poly’s Mark Nielsen and Ricardo Reyes will be playing for the NCAA Division II Men’s Tennis Doubles Championship today in Edmond, Okla.The Mustang duo won both of their matches Wednesday to reach today’s championship match at 10:30 a.m. (CST) versus Cal Poly Pomona’s Steve Kobold and Oscar Mancisidor.The last Mustang team to win the doubles title was that of Paul Landry and Bob Zoller in 1986.Nielsen and Reyes will be looking to avenge a 5-7, 6-4, 5-7C H A M P IO N S H tP Sloss to Kobold and Mancisidor when the teams faced each other in a dual match earlier this season.On Wednesday, Nielsen and Reyes successfully avenged a loss in last year’s semifinal-round to Kyler Upkyke and Hugh Laver- diere of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.Nielsen and Reyes overcame a 1-6 first-set loss and posted 6-4 wins in the final two sets to beat Upkyke and Laverdiere in the semis Wednesday.“We barely lost to them last year and didn’t feel we played too well in that match,” Nielsen said. “Going into today’s match, we were fairly confident and thought we could take them.”In the quarterfinal-round, Nielsen and Reyes topped Billy Ball and Clifton Raviza of Hampton, 6-3, 7-5.C haw pio iw shipsLook for an extensive preview on the NCAA Division II West Regional baseball playoffs in Friday’s Mustang Daily.You’ll find:• Team previews• Up-to-date stats• Directions to SLO Stadium★ ★ ATHLETES OF THE W EEK^^ Madden director fixed raffleMALEJER R Y EDW ARDS T rack a n d F ie ldOn pace to win the NCAA Division II decathlon title at the championships next week,Edwards gained momentum by at Friday and S a t u r d a y ’ s CCAA Championships.Edwards won the 110-meter high hurdles in 14.90 and the javelin event with a throw of 190-9 en route to capturing the CCAA decathlon title with 6,767 points.The 6-2 senior finished second at nationals last year. O th er n om in ees:M ark N ie lse n (T ennis):Nielsen reached the quarterfinal-round of the singles and doubles tournaments at the NCAA championships in Oklahoma.D an C h erg ey (B aseb all): The all-time everything among Mustang pitchers added another title: CCAA pitcher of the year.FEM A1.E :ALLISON EILERTS T rack a n d F ie ldThe sophomore from San Diego was the lone Mustang woman to capture an individual title at the CCAA Championships Friday and Saturday.Eilerts threw the javelin 141 feet, 2 inches, placing her first by nearly 20 feet.The 141-2 toss was just seven inches shy of her season best, which was set at Riverside Feb. 27.O ther n om in ees:J u l i e T in g le (T r a ck a n d Field ):Tingle won the heptathlon with 4,844 points, and placed fourth in the high jump as well. J e n n ife r P e te r s (T rack and F ield ):Cal Poly's top discus thrower finished second at the CCAA meet with atoss of 160-4, which surpassed her previous season- best throw of 159-11 set April 10 at Bakersfield.The director of Cal Poly’s John Madden Celebrity Golf Classic has admitted fixing a raffle ticket and will not return to his p>osi- tion, the Telegram-Tribune reported Wednesday.Jim Sanderson, who has been involved with the golf classic for 11 years, admitted he cheated in giving away a Hawaiian vacation during the raffle held at theClassic’s auction on May 6.Sanderson recently wrote a letter to John and Virginia Madden stating he “purposely pulled” a raffle ticket to make up for a mistake at last year’s auction in which a Hawaiian trip was erroneously claimed by someone other than the actual winner, the Telegram-Tribune article states.“Oh, no question I was wrong and that I made a poor judgment,” Sanderson said in the article.Sanderson served as Cal Poly’s head football coach from 1982-86 before becoming director of the golf tournament, which raises money for the Mustang football program.CLUB CORNERW heelmen to defend titleWhile most of the Cal Poly Wheelmen are still recovering from their conference victory and trying to catch up in school, 10 elite riders have been training hard to prepare for the national championships.MIT is hosting this year’s nationals, which will take place Saturday and Sunday.Karen Steiner, Chrissy Leonard, Tbrnbrey Horn, Jennifer Hartwig, Julie Henderson, Jason Gentry, Pat Tafoya, Eddie Salgado, Es- teben Chavez and Keith Hoefer are in Boston to defend Cal Pol)r’s national championship title.Tafoya, Salgado and Hoefer were part of last year’s championship squad.It would be considered an upset if Cal Poly was to repeat as Colorado and UC Santa Barbara have very strong teams and everyonewill be gunning for the defending champs, according to Wheelmen member Mark Sisson. Several Wheelmen have good chances for individual medals and the men’s time trial team could take home honors as well.Water polo fifth in nationThe Cal Poly women’s water polo club finished fifth at the College Nationals last weekend.The Mustangs, who competed in the toughest bracket, lost their first two games before rallying to win their final three.Host UC Davis won the national title, while Slippery Rock (Penn.) was second and defending champion UC San Diego third."Nothing is often a good thing to do, and alvrays a clever thing to say.
