SF STATE IS ON its way to becoming one of the many California State Universities with a full-service recre-
ation center by 2018. 6WXGHQWV�KDYH�¿QDQFHG�WKH�
Recreation Wellness Center’s planning, design and future construction since Fall 2012 through a $90 fee included in their tuition each semester.
Once the complex opens, this fee will increase to $160 per semester to provide funds for FOHDQLQJ��VWDI¿QJ�DQG�RSHUDW-ing the facility. Students will therefore be granted unlimited free access to the Recreation Wellness Center, though faculty and staff will be subject to a membership fee.
Students, faculty and staff are expected to have access to two swimming pools, a rock climb-ing wall, a spa, a cardio and weight room, a two-court gym, a running track, racquetball courts and locker rooms.
The 188,700-square-foot fa-cility is currently in the planning and design phase, but will soon replace the outdoor basketball courts at the corner of Font and Lake Merced Boulevards.
Director of Campus Recre-ation Pam Su, insists that solicita-tion for the project was not fueled by frustration with SF State’s
64-year-old gymnasium. Rather, the center will be a venue for a range of activities that supplement the gym’s existing offerings.
“Having a recreation center open from early morning to late DW�QLJKW�UHDOO\�¿WV�D�VWXGHQW¶V�lifestyle, rather than the shared facilities we have now,” said Su. The Recreation Wellness Cen-ter’s planned hours of operation are from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
A recreation center can be use-ful to college students who may EH�YXOQHUDEOH�WR�VDFUL¿FLQJ�WKHLU�health in order to provide time for studies, social life and employ-ment. The Recreation Wellness Center will be the only non-aca-demic building that is dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Staff and faculty are also encouraged to use the center. According to Su, “When faculty workout with students and are
concerned about their own KHDOWK�DQG�¿WQHVV��D�UHFUHDWLRQ�center becomes a community space where faculty, staff and students have the same goals of EHLQJ�¿W��EHLQJ�DFWLYH�DQG�WDNLQJ�care of their wellness.”
The Recreation Wellness Center’s state-of-the-art facilities are close proximity to student housing and have raised ques-tions about a possible threat to SF State’s privately owned gym, Village Fitness Center. But the center’s operations manager, Mark Penacerrada, said that it is too early to say if the gym’s business will be affected.
“As of now we’re excited,” Penacerrada said. “We will support anything that serves the health and wellness of students.”
If the Recreation Well-ness Center detracts students’ attention from Village Fitness
Center, Penacerrada said that the gym would consider joining forces with SF State’s recreation department.
“We’re all about partner-ships,” said Penacerrada. “Village Fitness will be happy to join with the new center if we need to.”

“The idea is to create a mod-ern, forward leaning building that expresses the dynamic activity of the campus,” said Mitch Fine, the project manager. “The center will be a new hub of student life, an iconic gateway that will provide identity for SF State.”
Construction is expected to begin in late 2015.

SF State recently welcomed a new Assistant Dean of Stu-dents who seeks to bring a fresh perspective this spring semester, by engaging with students on a personal level.
Brian Stuart, the new Assis-tant Dean, will manage and over-see incoming students, such as freshmen and transfers, to ensure their well-being and security.
“The position was re-purposed to provide vision and leadership for the development and enhance-PHQW�RI�WKH�¿UVW�\HDU�H[SHULHQFH�DW�SF State,” said Dean of Students Joseph Greenwell.
Returning to his Northern California roots, Stuart arrived a few weeks ago from Clemson University in South Carolina, where he earned his Masters Degree in Council Education. He continued his work there for six years, most recently as the As-sociate Director of New Student and Family Programs.
Stuart has worked closely with programs like Student Affairs and Enrollment and var-ious faculty and staff within the 2I¿FH�RI�'HDQ�RI�6WXGHQWV��+H�
VDLG�KLV�¿UVW�DQG�IRUHPRVW�SULRU-ity with his new title is creating a more interactive relationship between him and students.
“I’m really student oriented,” said Stuart. “I want to be an advo-cate for new students—a support system to help solve problems and work on one-on-ones.”
Coming in halfway through the academic year, Stuart hopes to utilize his unfamiliarity with campus life as a way to connect
with new students feeling similar anxieties. Although events and activities to kick off spring se-PHVWHU�DUH�RI�VLJQL¿FDQW�SULRULW\��Stuart said he acknowledges that students are the most important piece of the equation.
“Nothing really matters if the students aren’t involved, it starts with them,” said Stuart. “You can plan and coordinate a great event, but if the students aren’t interested and don’t want to see
it, then what’s the point?”With spring semester plans

“It is my hopes, that the impact of Welcome Days will help increase campus engagement with students and class identity,” said Stuart. “With the appropriate mix of social activities, informa-tion about academic life and cam-pus services, students begin to see themselves as active participants in the SF State community.”
Stuart said he would like to create a peer center at SF State, which could provide an anchor for new students who feel lost. +HUH��VWXGHQWV�FRXOG�¿QG�PHQWRUV�WR�FRQ¿GH�LQ�DQG�KHOS�SHRSOH�HQ-gage more with campus activities.

Dr. Stephen Kane is a collector. His obsession isn’t with coins or stamps that sit on his mantle — it’s with planets in space.
The SF State astronomy profes-sor estimates he amassed a collection of 50 planets that he’s discovered over the course of his 20-year career.
The latest addition to his collec-tion is HD 4203c, an exoplanet, or a planet located outside of the Solar System. Kane discovered that it has twice the mass of Jupiter and is lo-cated 250 light years away from our Solar System.

Since planets are often unable to be photographed, Kane and a team of researchers had to use a combination RI�LQGLUHFW�SODQHW�¿QGLQJ�WHFKQLTXHV�to determine if one of four stars they were studying contained a planet.
“You’re essentially an observer with a blindfold and occasionally you get a little glimpse here and WKHUH�´�VDLG�'U��6WHYH�+RZHOO��who helped Kane in the discovery. Howell is the project scientist on the Kepler Mission at the NASA Ames Research Center. The Kepler space telescope was launched by NASA in �����WR�GLVFRYHU�(DUWK�OLNH�SODQHWV�outside of the Solar System.
Planets near stars often trigger gravitational effects on their stars causing them to wobble. Kane and his research team saw this and deter-mined that a planet may lie in one of the four stars.

From this, WKH�UHVHDUFKHUV�ZHUH�DEOH�WR�FRQ¿UP�that a planet was orbiting one of the four stars.w
The discovery of the exoplanet may help astronomers narrow their search for what types of stars may contain planets, Kane said.

“There are a lot of students excit-ed about getting involved in exoplan-ets and I’m hoping that this will help them see that there are good opportu-nities here at SF State to pursue this NLQG�RI�VFLHQFH�´�VDLG�.DQH�
SF State has a history of studying exoplanets and Kane’s discovery will help garner funding for the Univer-sity to continue further research, according to Dr. Susan Lea, chair of the physics and astronomy depart-ment at SF State.

FRIDAY night’s “Back in the Rhythm” started the semester for Student Life’s Noise Com-plaint dance
parties with over 300 students at the Cesar Chavez Student Center.
The monthly gathering, which started in Fall 2010, began with a late night of hip-hop, top 40 and electronic dance music.
Students began trickling in
at 10 p.m., propping themselves up against the gates at Café 101 and Natural Sensations in small groups. A handful of students, clad in street wear and doused in pulsing red, blue and green stage OLJKWV��WRRN�WR�WKH�GDQFH�ÀRRU�WR�start the party. Others followed and after a while no one was immune to DJ Andre Camaisa’s trembling electronic bass drops and classic hyphy remixes.
“This crowd really goes up and down,” said Camaisa. “Sometimes you get kids that just
ZDQW�WR�¿VW�SXPS��DQG�VRPHWLPHV�you get the real ratchets who are down for the hyphy stuff. This crowd tonight wants everything.”
Camaisa has been performing at Noise Complaint since 2011. Since then, he’s won Red Bull’s College DJ Freestyle Battle at Manor West and has been dubbed the premier college DJ in the Bay Area. He has secured residencies at a handful of San Francisco’s nightclubs in the SOMA district, including the Monarch, Alibi and Manor West.
“When you play for this kind of crowd you can’t pull out all of your club game,” he said. “You’ve got to stay on top of your hits.”
Freshman Arturo Gomez ap-proved. “It’s been really fun,” he VDLG�RI�KLV�¿UVW�1RLVH�&RPSODLQW�experience. “I live on campus and its great to have something so close (to home).”
“(Noise Complaint) has been a really productive, healthy event for the kids to enjoy,” said Uni-YHUVLW\�3ROLFH�2I¿FHU�$EH�/HDO��who was one of a handful of UPD RI¿FHUV�ZRUNLQJ�VHFXULW\�IRU�WKH�event. “It’s an outlet for them to do something without getting on the bus; it’s good clean fun.”
“It’s never been the students who are the problem,” he said. “It’s been people that don’t go here, sneaking in the back that have been an issue.”
Since Noise Complaint started four years ago, there haven’t been any serious issues, according to Director of Student Involvement Sarah Bauer.
Camaisa said he is excited about the next installment of Noise Complaint, which will be held in the Annex, where Bauer said that most events would be held moving forward.
“The Annex has been under construction to become the Student Life Events Center and is almost ready,” Bauer said. However, due to the Science Building closure, there will be some limitations on using the Annex this semester, she said.

AN SF STATE cinema profes-sor’s documen-tary shows the world of LGBTQ political strug-

Director Johnny Symons is a recent recipient of a grant from the Frameline Completion Fund for his and fellow director Leo Chiang’s docu-mentary, “Out Run.” The grant received 112 submissions for its annual contest, the largest to date, and chose Symons as one of its seven recipients.
Frameline is the nation’s RQO\�QRQSUR¿W�RUJDQL]DWLRQ�WKDW�focuses on media arts in the LGBTQ community.
Since 1990, the Completion Fund has awarded thousands of GROODUV�WR�KHOS�IXQG�VXFK�¿OPV�nearing completion.
Symons and Chiang have been in production for their doc-umentary for about four years, and both directors have three SUHYLRXV�¿OPV�WR�WKHLU�QDPHV��
Chiang said he and Symons are old friends and that they both belong to New Day Films, a co-op that helps distribute their
documentaries to the educational community, so it was an easy decision to work together on “Out Run.”

said. “It’s a large project and it has an international component and we felt like it would be smart for us to partner up with someone we trust on the project.

Symons and Chiang said that translation assistance from Glenn Aquino, a Filipino and cinema student at SF State, greatly
helped with the documentary’s SURGXFWLRQ��$TXLQR�LV�ÀXHQW�LQ�multiple dialects spoken in the Philippines, which Aquino said led him to want to help with “Out Run” after hearing from an-other instructor about Symons’s documentary.
“I think (this project) really represents what Professor Symons is interested in,” Aquino said.
“He’s interested in the hard issues that we need to deal with, even KHUH�LQ�WKLV�FRXQWU\��7KH�¿OP�LV�censored in the Philippines, and WKDW�UHDOO\�UHÀHFWV�WKH�RQJRLQJ�debate about same-sex marriage, but also rights for the LGBTQ community. I think it’s a very LPSRUWDQW�¿OP�WR�EH�D�SDUW�RI�´

BY BRIAN DONOVAN _�[email protected]
In the last several months we have seen increasing hate for techies and tech companies. Last summer, “F- your start up” was tagged on a building in the Mission District.
In November, about 150 people protested outside Twitter’s headquarters the day after the company’s stock market launched on the New York Stock Exchange.
In December, protesters smashed the window of a Google bus with rocks. Just recently, two-dozen protesters blocked a bus carrying tech workers for hours because shuttle operators were allowed to use Muni stops and only charge $1 per stop.
People are praying for the dot-com bubble to burst, bring-ing down startup tech companies and the iPhone-toting hipsters who started it. However, it’s not the Bay Area’s buses or tech companies that are the problem. It’s the landlords.
Many residents see the buses as a symbol of the current prob-lems San Francisco is facing: the economic inequality is widening.
Minimum wage is hardly enough to make a living in the city, while rent continues to sky-URFNHW�DQG�JHQWUL¿FDWLRQ�IRUFHV�people out of their homes.
The changes in San Francisco are apparent and it’s heartbreak-ing. It’s always sad to see a family kicked out of their home or a mom-and-pop shop forced to shut down to make way for a luxury condo or an overpriced fusion restaurant.
The city is evolving and longtime residents are being
left behind. It’s easy to see why many residents are angry.
However, this anger is mis-placed. Where is the animosity for the real estate developers or the landlords? They are the enforcers of high rent and the ones who should be blamed — as is the Ellis Act.
It is the reason landlords can mass evict tenants and sell a EXLOGLQJ�IRU�SUR¿W�
The Ellis Act is a state law enacted by California legislature in 1986 that allows landlords to evict tenants to go out of busi-ness and remove the units from the housing market.
The law states that all tenants must be evicted simultaneously DQG�FDQQRW�EH�UH�UHQWHG�IRU�¿YH�
years after evictions, according to the San Francisco Rent Board.Fortunately, the Ellis Act contains amendments that protect tenants.
Only in San Francisco, landlords are required to pay their evicted tenants a re-loca-tion fee of $5,153 per tenant or a maximum payment of $15,460. Seniors and people with disabil-ities receive an additional fee on top of the initial fee.
Supervisor David Campos introduced legislation Tuesday for a change in the Ellis Act that would require landlords to pay the difference for the housing of the tenants they evict for the cost of renting new similar housing for two years.
This may not happen, but it
doesn’t change the fact that the Ellis Act is still being abused by landlords and shows how chang-es are sorely needed.
Not all tech workers are young billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg.
They are just trying to make use of their computer science de-gree and work for a living while the startup workers are praying for a tech God to buy their com-pany so they don’t fail horribly, like the majority of them do.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, three out of four startups are not successful.Start-up employees are just cogs in the machine.
It’s like yelling at a Starbucks employee for charging $4 a latte when they have no control of what the company does.
They, just like the techies, are trying to earn a paycheck to get by and pay their ridiculously high rent as well.
Working toward a solution LV�KDUG��EXW�¿QGLQJ�VRPHRQH�RU�something to demonize is much easier.
Facebook or Google can dive into some damage control and pay more than $1 for every bus stop they use or the Board of Directors can actually implement change in the Ellis Act so land-lords stop abusing the act.
6DQ�)UDQFLVFR�LV�LQ�ÀX[�DQG�experiencing some growing pains. The Google bus protests have caught the nation’s attention and many are waiting to see what happens next.
The city’s problems cannot be cured overnight, but a start can be to focus on the real prob-lems and shift hate to where it is deserved.
THIS YEAR’S game might have been as exhilarating as a beached whale, but it still didn’t stop many of us from
having a good time Sunday.The Super Bowl is a festive
time to talk about the strategies and plethora of mistakes, while immersing ourselves in shame-less self-indulgence, complain-ing about dumb calls the referees make and watching chronically angry coaches throw temper WDQWUXPV�RI�¿QJHU�SRLQWLQJ�DQG�browbeating because that’s clearly the most effective way to communicate in a stadium full of screaming fans.
This year was different. Attendees had to go through a ¿QDQFLDO�DQG�UHJXODWRU\�SURFWRO-ogy exam to get anywhere close to enjoying the big game.
This shouldn’t be the case because it ruins the tradition.It’s not only a time to spend with family and friends, but to leave the stresses of everyday life at
the doorstep for a day. A great feeling of comraderie
and community can manifest during this annual window of social catharsis.
This is perhaps one of the greatest contributions the Super Bowl brings to American society.
However, the people who attended the game this weekend didn’t have a chance to experi-ence any of that during their visit to the MetLife Stadium for this year’s XLVIII.
Tailgating was banned for WKH�¿UVW�WLPH��ZKLFK�DFFRUGLQJ�WR�ESPN’s Jane McManus was due to “security issues.”
Of course the NFL denies that there was an actual ban, saying instead it’s just a policy change.
“Provided you’re in the boundaries of a single parking space, you’ll be able to eat or drink right next to your car,” Superbowl Host Committee CEO Al Kelly said, according to CBS New York. We can all agree that’s not the same.
Tailgating is a vital part of
building the festive atmosphere of the Super Bowl along with the good burgers that go with it, but instead the NFL wants you to go to the stadium’s bargain bonanza for a $15 sandwich.
Walking to the event wasn’t allowed this year either. Guests weren’t even allowed get dropped off by taxi or park their own car and walk.
Instead, under the guise of promoting “public transportation” they could take New Jersey transit or a Fan Express shuttle for $51.
To show further disdain, CNN reported that of the 28,000 available parking spaces at the stadium, media and security were given 15,000. This left �������DWWHQGHHV�WR�¿JKW�IRU�WKH�13,000 available parking spots starting at $150 each.
By extorting their fans at games and zealous commer-cialization, the NFL makes more than $9 billion in annual revenues while Commissioner Roger Goodell earns nearly $30 million a year, according to the
Denver Post.All the while they’re en-
joying huge subsidies and the EHQH¿WV�RI�KDYLQJ�D�WD[�H[HPSW�VWDWXV�DV�D�QRQSUR¿W��DFFRUGLQJ�to Forbes.
It’s sad that the NFL is using a great sport as a strategy to make a KXJH�SUR¿W�RII�LWV�IDLWKIXO�IDQV��
They practically want their fans, forced by regulations of “security” and “logistical concerns,” to become facto-ry-farmed spenders where any DFWLYLW\�WKDW�FRXOG�VWLÀH�FRQ-sumption, including community itself, is banned.
We cannot allow the cultural events that we value continue to be co-opted by such political and ¿QDQFLDO�DJHQGDV�²�QRW�E\�WKH�NFL or anybody.
We should be able to cele-brate the nation’s biggest sport-ing event with a BBQ and not have to pay excessive fees just to get poked and prodded by securi-ty before we even get inside.
Just let it be the game that it once was.

@Xpre!News
w w w . g o l d e n g a t e x p r e s s . o r g
LAST WEEK THE U.N.
education agency re-
leased a report stating that
250 million school-age
children across the globe
can’t read, write or do
math. That’s out of 650
million children world-
wide and areas like the Arab states and
sub-Saharan Africa are the furthest behind.
Reading this made me think of my
eight-year-old brother. In a stark com-
parison, his elementary school provides
iPads for students in his class and several
others. He also has a Kindle Fire and iPad
at home and his classmates have even
more forms of technology than him.
His school isn’t the only one. Schools
all throughout the nation are paying
millions of dollars to provide iPads to
their students and teachers. In Kansas,
Shawnee Mission School District decided
last week to provide $20 million worth of
Apple laptops and iPads to their 27,000
students. Apple TVs will also be incor-
porated into classrooms and children in
all grades, including kindergarten, will
receive such products.
Teachers, I can understand. But stu-
dents — especially those in kindergarten
— don’t need these devices in order to
receive a proper education.
The devices are not being paid for by
parents or through fundraising, but by the
district through taxes. In Manhattan Beach,
Calif., $20,000 will be spent on iPads for
third and fourth graders. After announc-
ing last week that the purchase had been
approved by the district, their PTA intends
to pay for the majority of the iPads but the
district still has to contribute to these costs
and for the additional training teachers
will receive. In addition, Shawnee Mission
School District will be using capital outlay
bonds to fund the new devices to avoid
raising taxes in the area.
Ironically, the breaking news sur-
rounding this information is not over the
¿QDQFLDO�FRVW�RU�WKH�XVH�RI�WD[�GROODUV�IRU�the actual products, but the worries over
the Internet. Coleman Elementary School
in San Rafael, where students are using
iPads to write book reports, is pushing
for an upgrade in its bandwidth due to the
demand, according to the Marin Indepen-
dent Journal.
The concerns for going digital and up-
grading technology seem minuscule when
looking at the big picture. While thousands
of students in the U.S. are receiving extra
technology, millions of students in other
countries aren’t receiving an education
whatsoever. While it sounds like it doesn’t
affect you, the U.N. reported that having
so many children living uneducated actu-
ally costs governments around the world,
including the U.S., $129 billion annually.
How many iPads do you think gov-
ernments could buy with $129 billion?
The impact of educating children around
the world is anything but small.
It’s understandable that schools want
to upgrade and teach their youngsters
marketable skills. However, having these
electronics only in areas where taxpay-
ers can support such an upgrade shows
a huge gap in both the technology and
educational levels of students depending
on their location.
If school districts saved just a small
portion of what they spend on iPads and
sent it to a school or area in need, they
could make a huge impact; one much
larger than a single student having their
very own iPad to use during school when
they no doubt have a computer at home.
Schools and districts in the U.S. need
to stop thinking about how far they can
push their own institutions with hundreds
of iPads and start taking into consider-
DWLRQ�KRZ�WKH\�FDQ�EHQH¿W�WKH�HGXFDWLRQ�of children around the world.
