SPORTS BACKPAGE She looked older to him now, in the evening’s dying light, her tired eyelids dark enough to belong to someone else. Mosquitoes gathered in the shadows of the rain gutters and waited for them to forget their skin. 4 In 2007, The Campanile Foundation embarked upon a goal of raising $500 million during a seven-year span in the first ever university-wide fundrais- ing campaign in the school’s history. Aptly named The Campaign for SDSU was made public last Thursday and its staggering implication may affect every aspect of Aztec life on campus. “The Campanile Foundation set a goal,” Kit Sickels, chair of TCF, said. “We’ve reached the halfway point, and are now taking the effort public.” The campaign’s primary goals focus on improving the lives of stu- dents and strengthening the econo- my of the local region. According to SDSU President Elliot Hirshman, it will highlight the university by supporting staff and students, and this is a critical campaign because it will ensure SDSU’s ability to continue providing a high quality education for genera- tions to come. “These funds are necessary to sup- port our extraordinary students,” Hirshman said. “Students from diverse backgrounds; students who face finan- cial challenges; students who have special academic, artistic and athletic gifts; student veterans; and students such as our guardian scholars.” Hirshman, SDSU’s eighth president, and his wife made a $100,000 dona- tion to this campaign. The four goals highlighted in the campaign are very diverse areas that involve people from every walk of life on campus, in the community and in the region. Engaging the region By supporting a variety of existing programs, such as initiatives in K-12 education and assisting students vet- erans, the region as a whole can ben- efit from the massive pool of funds that will be streamlined into the many local programs supported by SDSU. The Campaign for SDSU is noted to be “A radical stimulus for the innovation of new, progressive policies and events,” which may include linking the community in the area even more closely with the university through philanthropic events, or by finding ways to help San Diego students in the K-12 system be more able to attend college. “One specific gift will go to fund an endowment focusing on academic enhancement,” Hirshman said. “Funds from the endowment will be used to support scholarships and academic initiatives.” Hirshman also said additional gifts made this past week include a $500,000 commitment from entre- preneur Irwin Zahn to support entre- preneurship in the College of Engineering, and another $500,000 from Sharp Healthcare for scholar- ships in nursing. This past week’s donations, as of press time, totaled $1.6 million. Another way the campaign will promote engagement in the region is through support of the Student Veteran Organization on campus, which Tess Banko, vice president of SVO, said Hirshman is committed to. “Hirshman said what we have in place is great, but that we need bet- ter,” Banko said. “A really significant way the funds could be used is to build or obtain permanent housing on campus for veterans, because the current home of SVO has a lease which will expire next year.” Leading innovation Becoming a more prominent research university is another of the primary goals for the campaign. Many educa- tion professionals, including profes- sors from other universities who are known as leaders in research, are excited for the possibilities this pro- gram may lead to. But, some profes- sors are also skeptical about how the money will be used in specific areas. “SDSU, even more so than University of California San Diego, is positioned to get students in the field, boots on the ground, solving prob- lems in the community,” Dr. Keith Pezzoli, director of field research and professor in urban studies and plan- ning at UCSD, said. According to the university, SDSU will be attempting to create addition- al endowed chairs, thereby attracting leading scholars to enrich the aca- demic life of the campus and enhanc- ing the value of a degree from SDSU. Competing globally SDSU is located in a precarious region that has many geographical attrib- utes, such as wildfires, earthquakes and unique ecological characteristics shared across a national border. According to the university, another area the campaign focuses on is increasing scholarship opportunities for students seeking to study abroad and to bring in even more interna- tionally recognized scholars. These resources could allow SDSU’s students and faculty to focus on regional problems within the com- munity, such as issues related to the watershed shared with Mexico, or to work on national issues that may bring SDSU more prominence in the global society. “If they’re using the money to get more interaction between researchers and the community, that’s a good thing,” Pezzoli said. Fueling potential Throughout the past 20 years, SDSU has averaged more than 7,200 under- graduate, graduate and doctoral degrees per year. Ensuring the univer- sity is able to continue this trend of transforming thousands of students from high school graduates into spe- cialized field professionals is of bene- fit to not only San Diego, but to the national and global economies. One way the university will continue this trend is through a part of The Campaign for SDSU called Fuel Potential Scholarship Campaign. According to the university, gifts to this specific part of the campaign will “ensure that SDSU’s most deserving students have access to the transfor- mational power of a college degree.” So far, more than $32 million has already been raised in this area. Donations Among the highlights of this cam- paign are those who contribute to it and the reasons they have done so. Many donors choose to contribute to a specific area, but all because of the benefit to SDSU. “It’s a personal decision to say ‘I’m proud of SDSU,’ period,” Craig Stevens, CEO of Mar West Real Estate and ’82 graduate of the SDSU College of Business Administration, said. Gwen Notestine, who works with TCF to bring donors in, said it is great to be a part of the campaign, and to be able to facilitate the donor’s phi- lanthropy. “It’s exciting to watch how it makes an impact and provides more resources for veterans,” Notestine said. The bottom line The campaign will, as Hirshman put it, support students, as a group, because they will be the future lead- ers of society. Even more impressive than the benefit to students though, is the resounding impact this cam- paign has the potential to make. There are many reasons why stu- dents should be excited about this new fundraiser, but Associated Students President Cody Barbo said it best at a recent conference. “The university’s new slogan is ‘Leadership starts here,’” Barbo said. “Those of us on campus, going to school, can’t become the leaders this region needs without the support of the community.” More information about The Campaign for SDSU can be found at sdsu.edu/campaign.

FOR SDSU WOMEN’S SOCCER
Dating back to last season, the SanDiego State football team has wonfive consecutive games. Yet, while
the footballteam receivesthe adorationof the SDSUc o m m u n i t y ,
there is another team on campusthat is enjoying a great season and afine winning streak of its own.
The Aztecs men’s soccer teamdefeated Houston Baptist University(0-6-1) on Sunday, 4-1, to improve toan overall record of 5-1-1 and contin-ue its winning streak of four games.
SDSU, fresh off its thrilling over-time win against Oral Roberts lastweekend, was led by senior co-cap-tain Daniel Steres, who scored twogoals and assisted on another.
Named Man of the Match for hisefforts, Steres finished the weekendwith three goals and an assist, allwhile anchoring the Aztecs defense.
“I had my fair share of chances in thefirst five games, but they just weren’tfalling,” Steres said. “I guess this week-end I just got (the shots) in better spotsand made my chances count.”
Steres’ first goal came in the 11thminute from a corner kick by juniormidfielder Jose Altamirano. In the71st minute, Steres scored his secondgoal of the match by putting the ballby the Huskies’ goalkeeper Daniel
Boyer. Junior Ata Ozbay and redshirtsophomore Jordan Ongaro alsoadded goals for SDSU.
The Aztecs outshot the Huskies16-5, including 12-2 on net. SDSU,which has scored 12 goals and onlyallowed two during the winningstreak, has now won 14 consecutivematches when leading at halftime.
“We have been playing well,”Steres said. “We are really focusingon the defensive side and being thehardest fighting team.”
Redshirt sophomore Blake Hylenrecorded the win by making twosaves, playing 76 minutes before giv-ing goalkeeper duties to redshirtfreshman Tim Peitsch, who did notrecord a save.
The Aztecs will attempt to keeptheir winning streak alive at homewhen they battle Central Arkansas at2 p.m. on Saturday. Following thegame, a free youth clinic will beoffered to all male soccer playersages 8 to 17 who wear their jersey.

Despite outshooting the opponent6-5, the San Diego State women’ssoccer team suffered a 3-1 lossagainst Seattle in the UNLV NikeInvitational on Sunday.
Things didnot look goodfrom the startfor SDSU (5-3-2) as it allowedan early
Redhawk goal in the eighth minute ofmatch play off a header in the boxfrom a free kick.
As the momentum quickly shiftedin Seattle’s favor, the Aztecs’ leadinggoal scorer, senior midfielder CatWalker shifted it back in the Aztecs’favor with a goal from eight yards outfrom a short cross from sophomoredefender Haley Palmer.
At halftime, the score was tied. SDSU started well in the second half
as its defense did an exceptional jobholding off offensive efforts in the box.
However, things quickly turnedsour for the Aztecs in the 60th minuteas Seattle regained the lead when across was played against SDSU’sdefense and into the path of aRedhawk forward who found the backof the net from 10 yards out.
From that point on, Seattle’s deter-mination to win the game was appar-
ent, as the team sealed its victory witha third goal in the 83rd minute.
Despite of the Aztec’s most recentdefeat, the team did manage to pullthrough with a 3-0 victory againstHawaii in its first game of the tour-nament.
A goal in the 25th minute by fresh-man forward Hannah Keane helpedSDSU take a quick lead in the first half.
Junior midfielder Megan Juradoincreased the Aztecs’ lead by threewith a pair of second-half goals in the46th and 58th minute of match play.
Redshirt junior Megan Allaire andredshirt freshman Rachel Boaz sharedthe shutout, with one save by Boazand two by Allaire. SDSU is now 6-0all-time vs. Hawaii.

he heated race for theRepublican nomina-tion for president isabout to reach thecritical oversaturationpoint. Within the next
two months there will be four more“debates,” four more straw polls andthousands of media appearances bycandidates. It is safe to say we arein the thick of the longest presiden-tial campaign in American history.In fact the first Republican candi-date to announce, Gary Johnson,did so an astounding 565 daysbefore the actual presidential elec-tion. In the meantime, the collec-tive media has clearly settled ontwo front runners for theRepublican nomination 14 monthsout: Mitt Romney and Rick Perry.Michele Bachmann still continues toenamor popular media and is por-trayed as having a legitimate chanceto contend, but her popularity iswaning. Other candidates such asRick Santorum and Jon Huntsmanare continually discussed as poten-tial influencers on the final outcomeof the nomination. Not to mentionthere’s the ever-lingering prospectof a Sarah Palin entry, which wouldundoubtedly send the media into anentirely unprecedented level ofspeculation on the outcome.
One major candidate has seem-ingly gone unnoticed as of late —where is Ron Paul? Paul came with-in a mere 152 votes of winning thefamed Ames Straw Poll in August,finishing second to Bachmann.Chris Wallace, the host of “FoxNews Sunday,” perpetuated thestigma that marginalizes Paul’selectoral chances: “There’s a top tiernow of Bachmann and Perry andRomney, and we haven’t men-tioned, and we should, RickSantorum who really did surprising-ly well for the amount of moneyand resources he had.”
Ames was not Paul’s only strongshowing. In addition to finishingahead of Perry, Romney and
Santorum in Ames, Paul has wonfour different straw polls this year,which is the most of anyRepublican candidate. He also hasthe largest number of cumulativevotes from the numerous strawpolls that have been conductedthroughout the country. In terms ofraising money, Paul is second onlyto the Romney empire. Despite thisfact, Paul does have the clout toraise incredible sums of money invirtually no time. Prior to the last
presidential election, Paul was partof the largest one-day politicalfundraiser in the history ofAmerican elections, when heamassed $4.2 million in campaigncontributions in a single day, onNov. 5, 2007. His grassroots organi-zation is incredibly strong as hetrails behind Romney in Facebooklikes; he has an extensive Twitterpresence with more than 60,000followers (Bachmann leads all thecandidates with more than 95,000)and Paul boasts more than 600 dis-tinct community support groupsacross the nation. Paul’s following isso passionate that despite his for-
mal withdrawal from the 2008 gen-eral election, two groups; TheConstitution Party of Montana andThe Louisiana Taxpayers Party, eachformally filed paperwork recogniz-ing Paul as their official candidate.Without his filing, Paul was officiallyon the ballot in the two states.
So Paul has an extensive supportgroup, polls well with republicans,can raise incredible sums of moneyand has a sound electoral platform,but the media is still willing to writehim off? How is it possible thatdespite these factors, and with thesweeping Tea Party / LibertarianParty sentiments reverberating
across the nation, Paul is still per-ceived as being a fringe element?
The powerful enigma of Paul is adirect threat to conventional elec-tions, as his feverish supportersshow a true devotion to their can-didate and his platforms. For manyAmericans, Paul represents the abil-ity to translate the election to anexercise of choice again, ratherthan the all-too-common lesser oftwo evils decision. Through thecourse of his electoral career, Paulhas regularly utilized truth and con-sistency in his campaigns. On threedifferent occasions he has defeatedan incumbent candidate in winninga congressional seat. Paul’s consis-tency has translated into electoralsuccess, as he never deviates fromhis message into order to attractswing votes or special interests.Throughout the George W. Bush era,Paul was the antiestablishmentRepublican. As Paul represented the14th district in Bush’s home state ofTexas, he continually voted againstaggressive federal spending and thewars in Iraq and Afghanistan. At thetime many in the media portrayedhis frank viewpoints as being brazenand absurd. Post 2008, antiestablish-ment is the vogue of the RepublicanParty, which makes it mystifyingthat Paul still gets overlooked.
Regardless of the fact Paul is con-tinually written off, ignored andmarginalized as a candidate in pop-ular media, he is a legitimate candi-date. In the quest for the Republicannomination, Ronald Reagan’s nameis often invoked as what the partyshould aspire to be once again.Reagan, the undisputed heavy-weight champion of the RepublicanParty, offered the following on Paul:“Ron Paul is one of the outstandingleaders fighting for a strongernational defense. As a former AirForce officer, he knows well theneeds of our armed forces, and healways puts them first. We need tokeep him fighting for our country.”
—Brody Burns is seeking a master’sin business administration.

FICT ION
Letting go of holding onhey drank the last bottleof wine on the roof ofher parents’ house whenshe said, “My sister andEric are done. Over.”
She took a drink and returned thebottle to him.
She looked older to him now, inthe evening’s dying light, her tiredeyelids dark enough to belong tosomeone else. Mosquitoes gatheredin the shadows of rain gutters andwaited for them to forget their skin.
“How long ago was that? Her andEric’s wedding, I mean?”
She stole the bottle from him.“You walked Kate down the aisle. Myfather was so sick he couldn’t stand,so you had to do it. You don’tremember that?”
“I do. But not how long ago itwas. What I remember is Eric kissedyou. I remember that.”
“He was drunk, Jerry. My sisterand me, we look alike. You knowhow easy it is to confuse us.”
“I never got drunk enough to con-fuse you two. Maybe I should getdrunk enough.”
She handed him the bottle. “Youdrink more often than he does. Youhold your liquor better. He had morethan he could handle. I mean, comeon, it was his wedding night. You’reallowed to get drunk on your wed-ding night.”
“And kiss the maid of honor? Inever said anything, like you asked.When people asked about the wed-ding I told them there wasn’tenough wine.”
“That was true. There’s neverenough wine.”
“Which begs the question: Howdid Eric get so —”
“Just let it go. You never have tosee him again, if that helps. That kisswas just ... It wasn’t like when youkiss me. Anyway, he’s not a threat.”
“Everyone’s a threat,” he swattedat a mosquito.
“Put that to rest. That’ll just dragyou along until you’re sore all over.”
He tipped the bottle to his lipsagain.
“Give me that,” she said andsecured the bottle in her lap. “That’sthe night you told everyone youhated my father.”
“I never said that. I said I didn’tbelieve his stories.”
“You said you hated him.”“No, I — Are you going to take a
drink of that or just let it get warm?”She didn’t reply. She sank the bot-
tle further between her thighs. “OK, maybe I did say I hated him.
Forgive me, I was drunk.” He priedthe wine away and took a long drink.
“Learn to let things go,” she said.She moved in on him. Her lipsbrushed his neck. When she backedaway again, she threw the bottle offthe roof. It smashed wetly againstthe street.
“Hey! There was still some ofthat left. And that’s dangerous.When I was a kid I fell off my bikeonce. Into glass. I never bled somuch in my life.”
“You never told me that. Tell mesomething else.”
“What else do you want to know?”“Something you’ve never told
anyone ever before.”“OK. I don’t like jazz.”“Not something like that. I want to
know a secret.”“A secret?” he said. “Well ... Kate
and I, when I walked her down theaisle, she said —”
“Tell me. What’d she say?”“I don’t know. She said, ‘I feel like
what we had is gone.’ She said, ‘Doyou think it will ever return?’”
“What? What’d you tell her?”He moved to speak. The night
flooded from the rain gutters andspilled onto the driveway below. Heheld her hand. He said nothing.
“Let it go,” she said. “Please,” shesaid, “Just let it go.” But he held onto her as long as he could.
