A school where you can easily get lost in the activity — and the crowd — if you ' re not careful. Here ' s a school, so diverse, so all-encompassing of people from many walks of life, that you really cannot define the typical UCLA experience. Sure, everybody here is a student, but being a Bruin is not just being a slave to academia. in the relatively short amount of time spent here, each person has created an original story to share with the world. Each student has learned to define UCLA in his or her own unique way. Not getting lost in the bustling crowd was key. And that was what every single Bruin has succeeded in doing. ' I ■tis . 9 U o re z: I HI L l i y 1-1.(1 wmL So much to do, so little time. That has been your motto of choice as of late. After rushing from your Spring Sing meeting to a Dance Marathon fundraising at BrewCo, you realize that you don ' t remember the last time you ' ve eaten... Sound like a sad existence? No, not at all. You ' re having the time of your life contributing to just a few of the endless events happening on campus (Everyday.

Now if only you could find some food. « I I t ill i I 4 beginning the ye.7 r with 7 banp t the year with a ban; Coming to college for the first time could ha e been a daunting experience for many incoming students. With such a large campus serving as home to a sea of student groups, it would have been very easy for the weary student to get lost amongst the masses. However, Bruin Bash managed to put students ' nerves at ease as it was designed to help students realize all this diverse school had to offer. Held on the day before zero week. Bruin Bash was a place where new students could explore their options and be welcomed to their new home. The Bash was also a homecoming party for returning students, as friends were reunited after a summer of separation. The festivities included the Enormous Activities Fair, in whicii there was performances and games, including a mechanical bull. 0 er 200 student groups were present to give information to anyone who might ha e been interested in joining their organizations. Bruin Bash was a great opportunity to get our name out to the new students, said Dandan Tang, fourth-year business economics student and president of Sigma Delta Sigma community service sorority. After the fair, students were invited to enjoy a concert at the Los Angeles Tennis Center, which featured the underground hip-hop artist, Common, and the rock band. Thrice. At the concert ' s conclusion, students stayed at the LATC for a dance party with DJ E ' an, or were given an option to attend a midnight sneak of the movie In Her Shoes, starring Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette at Ackerman Grand Ballroom. This event had been in the works since spring quarter of the prior school year, as planners needed to find dates, venues, talent and groups who were willing to participate.

In its third straight year. Bruin Bash was a huge hit, with about 4,000 students in attendance. Trying to organize such an event was time consuming and difficult; howe er, the organizers of one of UCLA ' s defining events described it more of as a labor of love. I didn ' t do it for myself attested Kaminsky, I did it for the campus and if one person had fun that night, then it was worth it. | story by katherine terkanian. t j] •J Above: Taking full advantage of this once a year event, a student grabs a flyer from one of the hundreds of students groups represented at the Enormous Activities Fair.

From that year on. National Coming Out Week became instituted on college campuses across the nation as a celebration of the culture of the LGBT community. This year, Monday, October 10th marked the first day of this inspired event, as UCLA students kicked off the week ' s festivities at a barbeque at the Sunset Village Recreation Center Througiiout the week, numerous influential members of the LGBT community came to the UCLA campus to speak about a variety of pressing LGBT issues, lead workshops on how to battle heterosexism, and performed in numerous shows in Kerckhoff Hall and Bruin Plaza to display the richness of the LGBT culture. All of the week ' s events were sponsored by a wide variety of student groups, most notably, the Queer Alliance, a coalition of a number of stud ent groups with queer emphases. First-year undeclared student Jessica Morales thought of coming out week as a support system for those who are scared to come out. It was a realization that they are not alone and that they shouldn ' t feel intimidated to express who they are. As the title of the e ent indicated. Coming Out Week was meant to aid students in the coming out process and to let those who have not openly expressed their sexuality know that they would be embraced by the LGBT community. Second-year chemistry student Mee Ko viewed this event as helpful because it allowed students to band together and feel that they were united. To prolong the effect of the week ' s inspired e ' ents, the UCLA LGBT Resource Center was place where students of the queer and straight communities could go to find out more information about issues related to the LGBT community as well as information on how to become an ally to the cause. With its rainbow-colored flags proudly standing at its entrance, the center encouraged students to be proud of who they are and raise awareness about all of the issues facing the LGBT community | slory by chnstui ihdvincher. 9, u( er 9, aim to raise awareness Above: Heidi Garton and first year law student Mazy luna perform a heartfelt song in Kercklioff Grand Salon.

Queei Alliance. t riumphant I on home turf Compared to the hostile environment they were faced with the previous week, the cheers of Bruin fans and the electric atmospiiere of the Rose Bowl were a welcome sight to the team. After an impressive come-from-behind victory over Washington State, the undefeated Bruins returned to Pasadena for homecoming. However, the Bruins weren ' t the only ones celebrating a return to familiar grounds. Oregon State quarterback Matt Moore returned to the Rose Bowl for the first time since leaving the UCLA football team in hopes of receiving more playing time. After his departure during his sophomore year, Moore even considered playing Major League Baseball before eventually transferring to Oregon State. The Den readily ensured an unpleasent homecoming for Moore, as students booed and hissed from the moment he stepped onto the field. If Matt Moore really wanted to be a star, he should have just stayed here, commented second- year psychology student Kristy Ito. Not everyone shared her sentiments, as chants of Drew is better and Matt Moore sucks filled the air every time Moore touched the ball. Though Moore got off to a quick start, he became visually frustrated at the Beavers ' inability to move the ball as the game clock ticked away. The UCLA defensive line forced Moore to make errant throws into tight coverage, resulting in two, ill-fated interceptions. While most of the students ' attention was focused on Moore, a few realized that his UCLA counterpart was quietly etching his name into the record books. Drew Olson added to his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks in UCLA history by throwing a stunning six touchdowns passes against a dumbstruck Oregon State defense. After requiring last-minute nifion roTTiPS hnme tn bre k r ecord It was one of the least stressful games of the season. - Ryan Fix, electrical engineering, 4th year 20 vaults heroics to pull off victories in its previous three games, UCLA fought with purpose against an Oregon State team that had upset 18 Cal on the road the previous week. The Bruins dominated tiie Beavers due to outstanding performances from their star players. Junior tailback Maurice Drew improved his Heisman candidacy, amassing nearly 250 yards of total offense and two touchdowns. Senior Marcedes Lewis complemented Drew ' s performance with 6 receptions for 65 yards and two touchdowns. When all was said and done, UCLA routed the Beavers 51-28. At the conclusion of the game, Olson was all smiles as he embraced his friend and former teammate. Before parting ways again, Moore wished Olson luck and told him to be sure to beat use. While this hope was not to be realized, UCLA completed one of its best campaigns since the 1998 season, which ended with an appearance in the Rose Bowl. { storv b benjamin yiin.

The events led up to UCLA ' s much anticipated football game against arch nemesis USC. Beginning the festivities was the traditional car smash where UCLA students bursting with blue and gold pride took turns hammering a red vehicle painted with USC logos and symbols. The car smash helped raise friendly competition, and as long as the broken glass did not fly near me, I thought it made people more aware of school spirit, said John Li, a fourth-year economics student. Throughout the week, a massive blood drixe on campus capitalized on anti-USC sentiment by giving students an opportunity to figuratively remox ' e as much hateful ' red ' from their system to purify themselves from any soul-staining Trojan influence. ! think it ' s a good way to hype up spirit and instill morale in our football team, reflected Romano Bastianpillai, a fourth-year mathematics and applied science student. But more importantly, it is our performance on the field that will enhance school spirit the most.

After the parade, Bruins gathered at Wilson Plaza where there was a performance by the UCLA marching band and appearances by Coach Karl Dorrell and various football players. During the moti ational speeches, the crowd got restless as the anticipation of the burning of the USC pillar of doom heightened.

Reggie Bush, USC ' s junior tailback and the rest of the Trojans made sure that the bell would remain red for yet another year. Bush, the eventual Heisman winner, dominated UCLA ' s lackluster defense en route to a demoralizing 66-19 drubbing in front of a sold-out crowd at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Bush carried the ball ' 24 times for a total of 260 yards and two touchdowns. After come-from-behind ictories against California, Stanford, Washington and Washington State, the nth-ranked Bruin team hoped to pull an upset against top-ranked ' SC. With a chance to topple ' SC ' s 33-game winning streak and squash their hopes of a National Championship game, UCLA had more tJian just pride at stake. Too bad UCLA couldn ' t step up on defense, mused Michael Yim, a second-year microbiology, immunology, and molecular genetics student. But UCLA performed very well this year. UCLA was hoping for a repeat performance of last year, in which the Bruins ga e ' SC their money ' s worth. UCLA ended up losing that contest 29-24 amidst a controversial call negating an obvious SC fumble. Unfortunately for the Bruin faithful, UCLA was not able to compete with its cross-town nemesis in the 75th matchup between the two schools. by the trojans In the opening drive. Bush ' s 28-yard run on the second play from scrimmage gave UCLA a bitter taste of what was in store for them for the rest of the afternoon. The Trojans ended their first drive with a field goal. From that point forward, UCLA would not have gotten any closer. At least Bush will be in the NFL next year, said Hoa Pham, a second-year bioengineering student. Bush continued to make a case for himself for the Heisman trophy, racing through Bruin territory for 65 yards to start the second quarter. Meanwhile, the Bruin offense uncharacteristically stalled for much of the afternoon, twice getting deep in ' SC territory in the second quarter only to come up with two field goals. The second half was no different from the first. ' SC continued to pound the ball with Bush and LenDale White leading the charge, amassing 448 combined rushing yards. UCLA managed its first touchdown of the day on a 15-yard rush by junior tailback Maurice Drew with 3:45 remaining in the fourth quarter, prompting a mocking standing ovation from the ' SC crowd. Though ' SC extended its gridiron success over UCLA to seven games, ' SC itself had to endure an eight- game skid prior to their current winning streak. The series has been streaky as of late, but it certainly won ' t be long until we return that bell to its rightful color of blue and gold. | s ory by joint tang. bniins nnablp to pii11 off an u p se t Above: Members of the Bruin marching band, adorned in their finest performance uniforms, prepare to march through enemy territory at the Coliseum.

Within the past year, SAA hosted many events, including numerous senior-oriented programs that contributed to sending tiiese students off into the real world with a bang. Seniors particularly enjoyed the chance to simply flash their BruinCard to get a free In-N-Out meal right in the middle of Westwood Plaza. The waits were long but well worth it. Some students waited in excess of 45 minutes to get their freshly made meal, while others lucked out and were able to walk right up to the tables. Fourth-year physiological science student Timothy Tow waited an hour for his food but was very happy he received his long-awaited meal They should gi e free In-N- Out to seniors e ' ery day, connnented Tow. SAA also appealed to those concentrating on post-graduate life through its Senior Night program, where students were given useful information on how to make an easier transition into the job world. SAA was also responsible for Spring Sing, a talent show that brought together students who performed in front of their peers as well as celebrity guest judges. The event has proven to be one of the most popular annual student happenings on campus. Spring Sing was a wonderful time for students to get together and enjoy talents from all corners of campus, explained Weiping Yang, a fourth-year communication studies student. SAA did much more than to raise money and help create a campus identity. They provided opportunities for students to meet and network with intluential people during programs such as Dinner with 12 Strangers and various career-oriented programs.

In the past, SCA ' s efforts were invaluable in attracting headliners such as the controversial Bill Maher of the extant show, Politically Incorrect, and renowned funk musicians George Clinton and Isaac Shaft Hayes. SCA also strove to encourage student attendance of UCLA Live events by promoting discounted student tickets and coordinating post-performance discussions with the artists. UCLA Live was one of the most unique presenters and producers of performing arts in the country with a ariety of dance, music and spoken word entertainment. With more than 200 performances a year and over 150,000 audience members, UCLA Live appealed to a variety of both popular and uncommon interests. The variance in the production meant audience members were from all different backgrounds. the world of arts ranging from the cultural connoisseur to the novice newcomer. The London Philharmonic Orchestra made its first UCLA appearance through the combined efforts of SCA and UCLA Live. Led by esteemed conductor Kurt Masur, the London Philharmonic Orchestra came to Royce Hall equipped with a program ranging from Mozart ' s famed Symphony No. 9 to the lesser-known Simple Symphony bj ' Benjamin Britten. This popular ensemble established its reputation through international tours and has accumulated a number of award- winning recordings over the years. John Cleese, of Monty Python fame, headlined a show entitled. Se en Ways to Skin an Ocelot. which premiered at Royce Hall in the middle of March. The show, which Cleese personally referred to as a one man show with several people in it, ga -e the established British comedian an outlet to express his controversial crude sense of humor.

These e ents were only a small sample of the % ' ast number of offerings that SCA made available to students for a small entrance fee compared to the general ticket price. Third- year women ' s studies student Alisha Flecky, a newcomer to the committee this year, particularly enjoyed her ability to reach a crowd that otherwise might look the other way when it comes to the arts. SCA, subsequently, contributed to a movement in ending student apathy toward the arts with enticing performances by a number of the world ' s finest performers.

Ranging from a small social gathering of people of differing ethnicities to a whole night de oted to grandiose exhibitions, students enjoyed numerous exposures to the world ' s cultural richness throughout the course of the year. Cultural nights allowed students to view some of the costumes, traditional dances, and music of different countries. One very popular culture nigiit was held by Samahang Filipino, appropriately entitled, Filipino Culture Night. Third-year psychobiology student Chiara Itciion received the opportunity to learn about her culture ' s customs and history through her involvement witli a few of the night ' s productions. E en though there were a lot of long practices, reflected Itchon, you get really close with a large group of really awesome people who share the same interest in promoting a rich culture. Numerous other cultural groups, including Samahang Filipino, integrated modern dance routines into their programs. Two examples of such groups were the Nikkei Student Union ' s dance troupe, otherwise kno n as NSU Modern and the Association of Chinese American ' s Hip Hop dance group, simply known to its fans as AC A Hip Hop. Over the years, these groups ha e established reputations for performing high- caliber, fast-paced dance routines to popular hip-hop and pop songs. The Chinese Cultural Dance Club focused on the public ' s fascination with dance by producing a culturally-infused program filled with traditional Chinese dances along with martial arts. Fourth-year psychology and sociology student Fatrick Fieng, who has been involved with CCDC since his first year, particularly enjoyed the club ' s ability to provide the campus and surrounding communities with the opportunity to learn and explore the diversity of China and experieces of Chinese-Americans through dance and music. Many other culturally-focused student groups successfully planned and executed numerous illuminating events that revealed the inner nuances of the international community, such as open-mic nights and art exhibits. The lifestyles and histories of foreign lands were at the fingertips of every UCLA student, as he or she was able to take a trip to a number of countries while remaining snugly in the heart of Westwood.

A combination of five southern Californian bands, eight student performance groups and the Ataris ' Kristopher Roe and John CoUura brought five hours of blissful punk-infused music to eager Bruin ears. The event not only brought quality entertainment to campus but raised over $15,000 for Push America, a foundation that promotes awareness and provides support to those with disabilities, and CSC, a group that funded over twenty-two community service projects including high school tutorials, literacy de ' elopment and fundraisers for charity. Free Rob G, the only band with direct ties to UCLA, energetically kicked off the show with their song Sit and Remember. Many of their songs included UCLA references including the song Umbrellas, a reference to the umbrellas of UCLA ' s very own Rieber Hall. A lot of the songs we have written come from UCLA experiences, said fourth-year anthropology student Daniel Zamani, the lead singer of Free Rob G. It just felt great that we could perform in front of an audience that could relate to the songs. The numerous spectacles of the night did not just include high-energy band performances. ACA Hip-Hop was among these nonmusical groups, dazzling the crowd with their 30-man dance number. Besides dancing and music, first-year physical science student Dean Otsuka performed a fascinating Harlem Globe Trotter-like display that literally had the crowd in a state of awe. The diverse performances added a nice touch to the otherwise traditional band revelry.

As the 20th hour of Dance Marathon approached with the sun rising outside of Ackerman Grand Ballroom, it was clear that the dancers would do whatever it took to see it to the end. During Presidents ' Day weekend while many students traveled home to spend time with their families, over 700 dancers, 1,000 moralers, and 88 committee members raised $268,881.31 for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation by dancing for 26 hours straight. The theme of Dance Marathon, which began at 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 18, was ' World Tour Destination: Cure. ' With themes changing every three hours, Ackerman Grand Ballroom was transformed into exotic locales ranging from Antarctica to Sao Paolo, Brazil. Adventurous dancers donned effects that matched a particular theme, such as wreaths made of arious plants for the Athens, Greece theme. For those unable to dance the full 26 hours, moraling for at least 3 hours was a worthwhile alternative. For every theme, a fresh batch of moralers would run into the room, energizing the weary dancers and bringing surprise treats. For the Antarctica theme, moralers ran in with pillows and many dancers stood on top of the pillows to relieve the strain on their feet. [Having moralers]] was a great idea. It makes the shift much more fun and exciting, explained James Sinclair, a third- year psychology and political science student. Students did not dance the entire time and they welcomed the occasional breaks when special guests would take the stage. Performances and speeches by celebrities, people diagnosed with AIDS, and various student performers were spread throughout the night to ease the dancers ' aching feet, as well as motivate them through the vigorous event.

As Dance Marathon came to a close, dancers were finally allowed to sit and were enthusiastically applauded for their incredible feat of surpassing last year ' s total by $71,629.89. Dance Marathon, which began tl e years ago at the Bradley International Hall, outgrew both Bradley and the Covel Grand Horizon Room. This resulted in the mo e to the larger Ackerman Grand Ballroom.

Bruins. f hp - end of an era Upon first assuming the role of Chancellor in 1997, Carnesale became the eighth executi e chief in UCLA ' s history. A charismatic leader and shrewd fundraiser, Carnesale launched Campaign UCLA as one of his first tasks in Westwood. The campaign far exceeded all expectations b_y garnering almost $3 billion and transforming UCLA into the nation ' s top fundraising public university. Carnesale ' s fundraising savvy also enabled UCLA to double its support of research grants and proposals to $821 million. Also, during a turbulent budgetar} ' storm, UCLA actually saw its operating budget rise from $2.2 billion to $3.5 billion on Carnesale ' s watch. Tm especially proud that (.luring uncertain budget times, UCLA has enhanced its standing as one of the world ' s great research universities and has maintained its accessibilit} ' to qualified students, regardless of family income, enthused Chancellor Carnesale. Additionally, an Ensuring Academic Excellence initiative was set up in 2004 to realize Carnesale ' s vision of drawing the best and brightest academics to ' estwood. It has already garnered o er $100 million toward professorships, fellowships and scholarships. Recognizing the importance of fostering informed and tolerant young minds led Carnesale to launch the F ' iat Lux seminar program in response to tiie terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a program that led Carnesale back into the classroom to teach the national security seminar himself Carnesale also initiated the Chancellor ' s quarterly office hours, in w iiich fi e pri ileged Bruins were able to bring their concerns directly to the highest administrative authority, if only for 10 minutes.

Vredevoe Vice Chancellor, Academic Personnel I took the Radical Cheerleader Class and highly recommend a Fiat Lux to anyone. It was very beneficial, there was good diversity, and it was more one on one with the professor. Cynthia Ramirez, women ' s studies, 2nd year I took both the Fiat Lux on Docunnentary Filn is and the one called Mother Knows Best. Each of those classes were awesome because I did things I wasn ' t normally able to do because they were only one unit each. The best part was there wasn ' t any homework, just show up and get credit. Sarah Fernbacker, undeclared, 2nd year lighting Chem 20A, Philosophy 21, Poll Sci 10 and - Texas Hold ' em? In a world of molecular orbitals, symbolic logic and Hobbesian political theory, a seminar on Hold ' em hardly seemed like a staple of the regular college schedule. Yet, seminars such as Statistics 19: Hold ' em or Fold ' em: Poker and Probability and others in the Fiat Lux series offered students a plethora of intriguing topics that added a refreshing vibrancy to the daily ins and outs of academia. Aptly reflecting the definition of Fiat Lux, Let There be Light, the series provided students with a glimpse into the wide ariety of intellectual pursuits that a student could embrace. Professor Rick Paik Schoenberg began the Stats 19 seminar in response to the growing popularity of Texas Hold ' em among college students. Although Schoenberg insisted that Stats 19 did not actually teach poker strategy, the real life application of statistics to the highly popular game of poker certainly drew students in - even at 9am on a Monday morning, for it was, as Schoenberg stated, a good way to get students interested in statistics and probability. Freshmen had the unprecedented opportunity to interact with faculty that they woukl not normally have access to on a regular basis. The eight-week seminars departed from the traditional uni ersity class format by capping enrollment at an intimate group of 20 students. Instead of professors lecturing before a sea of unknown faces, the smaller enxironment, according to Greiner. created a closer-knit group, where students were more open to sharing ideas. The seminars also provided some career exploration opportunities. First-year physiological sciences student John Greiner enrolled in Biomed 19 because he personally wanted to know where to go with his college career. Upon taking the class, he decided to switch into the major as he found that there was a lot to learn without the stress of regular classes. Whether students were interested in digging further into the depths of a certain topic or looking to expand their educational palette, the seminars were the few rare classes that emphasized the dissemination of knowledge rather than the letter grade.

As esteemed doctors and professors flocked to Westwood to de ' elop the next Nobel Prize-worthy study, they engaged the aid of a dense population of students, defined by its abounding curiosity, enthusiasm and hunger, to take part in possibly life- changing ad%ances. From its inception in 1985, over 10,000 undergraduate students have dipped into UCLA ' s premier research resource, the Student Research Program (SRP). Through the program ' s setup, students were encouraged to step outside their comfort zones to single- handedly acquire a research position of their interest. Also, most students enjoyed the opportunity to interact and make connections with researchers and professors at the top of their respective fields. Research experience was especially beneficial to those pursuing careers within the field of medicine, such as third-year physiological science student, Cecily Chan. For the past two years, Chan ' s experience has led to her position as a research assistant for a stroke study under a highly respected M.D. Ph.D within the Department of Neurology, a position that she especially enjoyed because of the relationship she had with her research supervisor. She would let me ask endless questions about her study, remarked Chan, it really illuminated me to what exactly my part was in the big puzzle of the study.

Even though making graphs and editing papers were tedious at times, commented Chiu. I really enjoyed being exposed to various aspects of the international business world. Through their assistance in arious fields of research, students such as Chan and Chiu were able to receive valuable research skills for the future.

Ameachi Okafor, biology, 3rd year Honors [classes] gave you a lot of opportunities for future cont acts because the professors were more accessible. You weren ' t limited to just the course outline, you were encouraged to learn more about the topic at hand. Edward Mehrez, mathematics ecor)omics, 4th year thro Ugh the .looking glass Twice a week, students gathered in a darkened room to discuss the merits of Conway ' s Game of Life, to experiment with flocking simulations and to build artificial worlds that resembled modern art more than computer reiterations. It was a mix [of] ' Bill Nye the Science Guy ' and ' Fear and Loathing in Las ' Vegas ' , described fifth-year political science student, Jordan Marks. It was one big trip with lots of pretty colors and crazy futuristic robots, while learning programming at the same time. Honors Collegium 25: Artificial Life and Evolutionary Design: Theory and Practice in Multiagent Modeling, was endearingly christened by its students as ALiCE, an acronym for Artificial Life, Cultural, and E olution. This class enabled students to write C++ programs in order to demonstrate emergent phenomena through meticulous computations and simulations. Such simulations were the processes of constructing artificial worlds in order to imagine how things could be and to reconsider how things actually are, explained Professor Gessler. Through simulations, students eventually saw that global patterns arose not because of a top-down rule, but because of individual interactions on the local level, which gave reason to why the world is so complex. In fact, it could be argued that everything around us, from politics to art, is inherently computational. On some days, you might have found the students working on the Traveling Salesman problem, featuring colorful lines crisscrossing the computer screen. Other days, students were actively running Shelling ' s famous Segregation Simulation, which attempted to explain society ' s tendency to clump into defined groups. Students are always surprised [that]] they can do things they never thought they could do before, added John Bragin, a programming consultant with Complex Human Simulations who helped to teach the class. ALiCE was a class under the Human Complex Systems minor, the first undergraduate program of its kind in the world. At the forefront of innovation, ALiCE was a complex subject, but it opened up an entire new world of inquiry, which social science has yet to fully realize, acknowledged Professor Gessler. And all it took is a little patience and some powerful computing technology. | .■itory bv erica l u. ne of the best in sculpting their schedules counseling services, extended 1 1 Touted as one of the best programs in the nation, the UCLA College Honors Program presented a unique opportunity for students to challenge themselves academically, outside the realm of the usual academic fare. Participants were able to take a variety of interesting and accelerated classes that did not hinder their overall progress in any way. Instead, students were given much leeway and freedom In sculpting their schedules while fulfilling honors program requirements. Honors students were also given the opportunity to conduct research, negotiate individual honors contracts with their professors, participate in Honors Collegium classes and Fiat Lux seminars. However, the possibilities were endless. All the hard work was not without its rewards. Honors students were able to benefit from special ibrary privileges, privileged access to a hotbed of scholarships and internships, and, of course, the most sought-after perk, priority enrollment. Ultimately, participants were able to say that the Honors program provided them with a useful advantage that helped to construct an unparalleled learning experience that no title can adequately sum up.

My most effective way to study was study groups, however it was very easy to get distracted, Sam Lo, electrical engineering computer science and engineering, 5th year The best advice on studying was to use your time wisely between classes. Always carry your books everywhere, so when you have time, STUDY!! f Patrick Aghajanian, biology, - 3rd year procrastination, FWe cups of triple-strength Nescafe frothe, four nervous breakdowns, three episodes of unparalleled delirium, two untouched course readers, and a partridge in a pear tree. For a few weeks every quarter, miniskirts, make-up and basic grooming gave way to sweat pants, fresh faces and gravity-defying bed hair. In anticipated increments of time, clusters of fatigued-ridden students stumbled down Bruinwalk, modeling the extensiveness of their respectiNe collections of blue and gold athletic gear. In the residence halls, floor lounge parties transformed into havens of academic productivity as noses were crammed deep into the crisp pages of barely read course readers and textbooks. Resident Assistants tried their hardest to facilitate academic success through strict ' 22-hours of quiet ' restrictions. Students who called the cozy variety of hill residences their home were then required to be quietly friendly to their neighbors during these times of extraordinary levels of stress. As professors ended classes for the last day of fall quarter, third year microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics student Nicole Grepo began a week of studying-induced hibernation. As she imprisoned herself in her apartment with her microbiology textbook, she began to familiarize herself with every single square inch of information strewn across its gargantuan pages. Her books became her closest confidants as she began a routine of two hours of studying, then 30 minutes of one-on-one with my T.V., back to studying for another two hours with a 10 minute snack break in between. If I was true to my plan for the entire day, I ' d reward myself with a 30-minute nap, attested Grepo. With the urgency of time constantly looming o ' er their heads, weary students embarked on a search for any and every method to channel their Shakespeare, Einstein or Nietzsche within. Days of pleasant lounging around and nights of unforgettable partying gave way to the ultimate redemption of yester-year procrastination.

For the first time this fall, UCLA offered a ten-week course entitled Ethnomusicology ii5, an exploration of the new phenomenon of Global Pop. The class, taught by Professor Jack Bishop, examined the use of pop music in a ariety of cultures around the world. Professor Bishop led his students on an exploration of the historical and social contexts of music throughout the duration of the class. ' hile his fa orite genre of music was Brazilian pop music, he explained, the most enjoyable class session was when we explored Asian popidar music. Each class session consisted of listening to a sample of music that came from the particidar country untler examination. This was a ery important part of the class and allowed students to read about the music and to hear the exact type of music that was being studied. By the eighth week of class, the students had already been exposed to ! ' _ ' + musical samples and eight full-length music ideos. Students u cA the course and were thrilled to speak about it. Second-year global studies and art history student Justin Edwards stated that the class was thought-provoking, engaging and universally accessible. He continued by attesting to Ethnomusicology 25 as being definitely the best class r e taken at LICLA to date. Edwards, along with his fellow classmates, learned the importance of the critical examination of music. They learned aboLit musical meaning and the intercidtural use of sound, as well as the inner workings of the music business. Such topics piqued the interest of many students who desired a glimpse into tliis elusixe industry. The class also covered a variety of topics, including a discussion of copyright issues. Through the ten-week course. Professor Bishop was able to teach his students that pop music was deeper than Britney Spears and arious boy bands. They explored the global phenomenon of pop music and were exposed to very different forms of the o|5ulent musical genre of pop. | slory by cniily Wilson. . 0 Pr or es r Highlight As the owner and operator of Jogador Records and Lujamor Music Publishing, Jack Bishop, Professor of Ethnomusicology, has worked with renowned jazz artists of past and present generations. In his first year teaching at UCLA, he created a ten-week course entitled Global Pop. I really loved designing courses and then, actually teaching them, he stated. Despite his jazz background, he Is no stranger to world of ethnomusicology. Bishop ' s resume boasts a Ph.D in the subject and experience in teaching an introductory class in world music to fifth-graders prior to accepting a position at UCLA. His motivation for teaching the subject derives from his enjoyment of the challenge of introducing foreign cultures through music to fifth graders and from there, he developed a class designed for undergraduates ' Interest. Sinatra once :ing Come X X d. X 1 -tVny with me, let ' s tly, let ' s tly away, a lyric that many UCLA students took immediately to heart. Over the past 40 years, UCLA students have been able to do just as Sinatra suggests. Within the past year, they ha e flown to 3;3 different countries and participated in one of many programs, appealing to the ad enturer within. Studying abroad has gi ' en students an unparalleled opportunity to take a step outside of the ordinary. Students who took part in the Education Abroad Program (EAP) liad the opportunity to attend one of 140 institutions spread throughout the globe. Students chose their respective coursework from a ariety of subjects that fulfilled general education requirements in addition to classes that applied directly to one ' s major. The length of time for which they ' flew away ' depended on the specific program they selected. EAP allowed students to spend as little as a summer in their chosen country to as much as an entire year. Sarah Lipson, a third-year history student, traveled to England at the beginning of the year for one of several of EAP ' s yearlong programs. The impact of the program was oftentimes very intense, I could tell that this experience was going to round out my education in a way that I just couldn ' t get if I stayed in the States she said after only two months studying abroad. UCLA also offered travel study programs during summer. This program was ideal for students who This experience needed to take summer school but just couldn ' t bring themselves to stay on campus, could take advantage of the option of spending a month traveling about in foreign countries. Studying abroad not only ga e students the chance to immerse themselves in the culture and the history of the places they were studying, it allowed for a completely new way to experience college. I got to visit places that cannot be compared to learning in a lecture hall. ' Wandering through the streets of London, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris, I felt I was in a never ending dream of amazement, said fourth-year sociology student Vincent Luong.

Take a trip into a place where Anything Goes, where cowboys roam in Oklahoma, where the hills are ali e with The Sound of Music, and where Guys and Dolls go from the racetrack to prayer meetings. Where can all of this happen? In the land of musical theatre, of course! In Music History 60, students dehed into musicals and shows that have entertained audiences for decades to uncover a more profound understanding of the various works. The course was outlined in Professor Raymond Knapp ' s two books entitled, The American Musical and the Formation of National Identity and The American Musical and the Performance of Personal Identity. Students first embarked on an exploration of various aspects of the American musical, from the musical styles of operetta and aude ille, to the works of Gilbert and Sullivan and the de elopment of extravaganzas, to burlesque, to a stroll down Tin Pan Alley. While its name implies an examination of a particular period of time, this music history class was much more than a basic history course. Music History 60 made students scrutinize the musicals, especially how the musical numbers reflected society and portrayed America ' s unique national identity. This course surveyed individual great works of the 20th century, such as The Music Man, Westside Story, Fiddler on the Roof and Pacific Overtures. The course also analyzed the themes that demonstrated how the works approached various aspects of American culture, such as the melting pot, how the country dealt with the World War II, and America ' s fascination with exotic lands. This class not only examined the message of numerous musicals but also motivated its students to analyze the works ' societal contexts and their connections to technology, politics, film, opera and a variety of popular musical styles. For the second half of the class, the emphasis mo ed from considering themes of group identity to themes ha ing to do with personal identity, attested Professor Knapp. By listening to songs, watching ideos and examining slide show presentations, students strove to understand more about the importance of themes in musical theater and to find deeper meanings in the foot-tapping, laugh-inducing and audience-pleasing shows. | alory by mnhele phain. ?fs 59r HI ' RfTlif? Professor Raymond Knapp has been a member of the Musicology Department since 1989. With a B.A. in music from Harvard, a masters in composition from Radford Univeristy, and a Ph.D. in musicology from Duke University, Professor Knapp brought his musical expertise to UCLA where he has fulfilled roles as a scholar, teacher, mentor, and. ..member of and sometimes chair of various campus committees, working to improve undergraduate education. His penchant for musicals started as an audience member to his older siblings ' performances in high school musicals and continues to this day In his class.

They ' re very flexible and you can always go in without an appointment. Danielle Tustin, psychology, 1st year Coveling tutoring was helpful if you don ' t make it to class. They gave you personalized help for more than 5-10 minutes because office hours are too short and most of the time you can just drop in. Andrew Loecher, political science, 4th year savi ng [ grodes, student: a t a 1 1 e What could be done when the season of midterms and finals rolled around and chemical bonds and the essence of physics appeared to be rocket science disguised in French? Solutions included reading the numerous chapters that were supposed to have been read weeks ago, going to office hours, cramming for endless hours, or, arguably the best answer, having tutors to help understand massive amounts of convoluted material. At tutoring sessions pro ided by the Academics in the Commons and Academic Adxancement Programs, students tra eled to Covel Commons and Campbell Hall once a week for an hour-long session to tackle a week ' s worth of class material. Students found these tutorials to be useful, especially when complex material liecame frustratingly overwhelming or when students were too afraid to approach daunting professors during office hours. Third-year psychobiology student Samanda Thi frequently traveled to Covel Commons to receive tutoring from peers that put things in simple terms, making it a lot easier to learn and less intimidating to ask questions. Tutorials provided lessons in the sciences, such as chemistry and physics, and the humanities, from English composition to sociology. The majority of the tutors were knowledgeable upper-classmen who ha e mastered the respective classes themselves and who seemed, at times, more knowlegeable about the material than the T.A.s, according to second year economics student Ke in Chang. With these peer tutors, students were less restricted and unafraid to ask questions to their hearts galore, no matter how specific or tedious. Especially since the tutorials housed an a erage of 20 students per session, they were highly reminiscent of an optional discussion section. However, they were more flexible in terms of the hours of tutoring and variety of locations. Each tutor taught numerous sessions during the week with a wide selection of times within the day in order to accommodate their students ' busy schedules. The sessions located within Covel Commons were especially convenient for on-cainpus residents, for its location was only a few minutes away from each residence hall. AAP also pro ided students with a distance- attractive facility with its location at the heart of campus. Tutorials have become lifesavers or crash-courses for those who procrastinated too much or were in search of a helpful re iew session. | stury by mic ielle kuo. 58 I aciS; i |cs so Above: Amber Igfesias explains in detail what the students need to know to be successful in their respective classes.

Angela Wong, MCDB, 4th year and Lucy Chow, MCDB, 3rd year in the Ki mix Polymerase chain reactions, cDNA libraries, subcloning, and yeast 2-hybrid analysis may sound like science fiction to many, but to some students, it was just another day in the lab. This winter, students in Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology 104; Introduction to Methods in Molecular Biology were exposed to these techniques, giving them the tools they needed to succeed in the numerous and e er-growing opportunities in scientific research. Under the instruction of Dn Jeanne Perry, they worked directly with Escherichia fo bacteria, bacterial phage and yeast, and learned how to articulate the findings of their experiments by writing reports and giving oral presentations. Writing is so ery important for scientists to get their ideas published and to get the funding needed to carry out their research, Dr. Perry said. The hands-on nature of the class was something not many students got to enjoy in their college careers. Anyone who completed a life science course caught a glimpse of the numerous topics covered in MCDB 104; however, many of those topics were not scrutinized enough for students to fully appreciate the usefulness of such techniques. Purification of recombinant proteins, bacterial transformation, Western blot. Southern blot, preparation of non-radioactive probes and DNA hybridization were just some of the techniques that students performed, supplementing their understanding of concepts in molecular biology. Training in various laboratory techniques were necessary to prepare students for careers in fields such as genetic and medical research. Another great aspect about the course was its small size. With two teaching assistants and three to four undergraduate assistants in each of the two sections, the 48 students enrolled in the course had much opportunity to receive personal attention. This aspect was what particularly stood out to Dr. Perry in respects to teaching the course. No student leaves MCDB 104 without the teaching team, including myself, knowing their name, and after spending 100 hours together, we usually know much more! It is great to ha ' e the opportunity to know and interact with students at this level of intimacy, she said. She even insisted that her students called her by her first name. The students enjoyed socializing with everybody in the lab while waiting on their experiments. Even cookies were provided to help them stay energized during the long lab sessions. | story by kiithcrine terkania7i. roTessor lUISOf ; lestte: I As the director of the Protein Expression Technology Center in the UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics and Proteomics, Dr. Perry was very involved in research on campus. After earning a doctorate in Molecular Biology at UCLA, she worked in research and development for ten years at Genentech, a biotechnology research company. At Genentech, she helped to develop a process to configure human insulin, which had been cloned just before she joined the company. She also worked on the human growth hormone and contributed to the naming of the drug, Protropin. It was very exciting work and an excellent atmosphere for research, she said. Her lab is funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy to work with microbial proteins and focus on protein expression for structure determination using X-ray crystallography. Each! year, UCLA has attracted . intelligent, inventive, passionate professors from other universities and institutions to temporary tenures in Westwood. This year, the visiting professors were some of the finest educators in their fields and were on loan to UCLA to enlighten a new community with their specialized expertises. Hailing from some of the most prestigious and renowned institutions in the world, some professors even braved a multi-day flight from Asia or Africa to inspire a new generation of UCLA students. In past years, UCLA has welcomed educators such as Dr. Michael Dukakis. The former Democratic Party presidential candidate has been a visiting professor for the past eleven years to teach public management and to guest lecture in politics and policy, as well during winter sessions. To him, UCLA was a great university; a great place to spend the winter; and a great way for him to spend time with his children on the west coast. Dr. Elizabeth Barber has been a visiting professor for the Department of World Arts and Cultures for many quarters and the UCLA Center in Fowler Museum continues to request her to teach a class on Old Textiles. The class focused on the origin and development of spinning, weaving, and clothing in the old world.

Dalvin Tsay, iiistory classics, Srdyear UCLA may have the smallest campus of all the institutions within the University of California system, but that did not keep people from getting lost within school boundaries. This campus can be a major source of confusion, not only directionally but also regarding policies and procedures. Luckily, help was literally right around the corner. UCLA was a home to several programs that offered confused students the opportunity to talk to their peers about a variety of issues, ranging from personal stressors to academic complications. Program Leading to Undergraduate Sucess (PLUS) Peer Counselors specialized in helping undergraduate students from low income, first generation backgrounds. AAP (Academic Advancement Program) Peer Counselors appealed to a different demographic, as they aided those who were entering the university for the first time, as either a freshman or transfer student. Arguably the most well known counselors on the campus were the ASK Peer Counselors provided trained counseling for any UCLA student. With six different campus locations, ASK Peer counselors could often be found sitting behind a table with an information packet in front of them, poised and ready to answer any question an approaching student may throw at them. I got a rush when I saw the relief on a freshman ' s face remarked ASK peer counselor Ruth Dawson, a third-year international development studies and Spanish literature student. ASK Peer Counselors were available on a walk-up basis and could also be contacted via e-mail. They were well trained in administrative and university policy and procedures in order to expertly respond to the thousands of questions they received this year. ASK Peer Counselors did everything from giving directions to writing students referrals to professional academic counselors, while concurrently juggling the typical life of a full-time student. For third year pre- psychology student Esther Park, peer counseling was the next logical step, as she had been a mentor for a year and was ready to continue helping people as a peer counselor. Oftentimes, they were the easiest people to talk to, remarked Park.

I After nearly a decade of no movement on the Supreme Court bench, President George W. Bush suddenly found himself in a position to re-chart the country ' s judicial course and appoint two justices to the high court in a game of high stakes musical chairs. On September i29, 005, the confirmation of John G. Roberts, Jr proceeded without a hitch. .Although originally nominated as Sandra Day O ' Connor ' s replacement, Roberts was ultimately selected as Chief Justice after the untimely loss of Chief Justice William Rehnquist to thyroid cancer. In many ways, his succession was fitting in that he replaced the man he had once clerked for and considered his mentor. His appointment was accepted with little hoopla, as both liberals and conservatives alike recognized his legal brilliance and expertise. Many questioned Robert ' s political views due to his ambiguous stances on issues such as abortion, gay rights, affirmative action and the pivotal Roe V. fVade decision. Nobody really knows where Roberts stands on a lot of issues, pointed out Annie Yu, a second-year business economics student. Ultimately, he was a man that belie ed in the power of the Constitution and will likely make decisions based on constitutionality and As former Associate Supreme Court Justice Louise Dembitz Brandeis said, government is not an exact science. I Ptiutogr.iphed by Katherine Terkanian. precedent rather than personal opinion. Howe er, the hunt to find O ' Connor ' s replacement pro ed to be a more difficult task. Bush took the tragic misstep of appointing his own lawj ' er, Harriet Miers. Liberals and Conser ' atives alike, immediately began protesting the mo e as cronyism. Miers had no experience as a judge and there was also much doubt surrounding her knowledge of the Constitution. Faced with such (nerwhelming opposition, Miers withdrew her name less than a month after Bush ' s nomination. I think Miers was smart to withdraw due to the lack of support, reasoned second-year psychology student, Connie ' Wu. I would rather her not take part in any cases than make bad decisions, get criticized, and have to apologize. The cards ha e been dealt; the judicial landscape has been car ed. Now, only time will tell if all the dissent, frustration and pigeonholing will be futile, for newly appointed Supreme Court justices ha e always been notoriously fickle. Howe er, whatever the outcome may be, this was one Bush decision that will continue to re erberate in Washington D.C. long after his administration has left the White House. I r n ■a Zero to eight. No, it was not the Bruins ' football record, thank goodness. Rather, it was the result of the November 2005 California Special Election, and certainly no one expected the Go ernator to end up on the losing side. Voters rejected all eight initiati%es on the ballot, including four key proposals supported by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in his heralded Year of Reform agenda. Most notably. Prop 76, a key agenda item which would have limited state spending and granted the governor power to impose spending cuts in the state budget, was defeated by a strong margin of 62 percent to 38 percent. F o u r t h - y e a r political science and ecology, behavior and evolution student Greg Wannier commented that because Schwarzenegger put his face behind the referendum, many viewed it as a ote for or against the governor, rather than the actual issues at hand. Despite warnings from even his wife against holding the referendum, Schwarzenegger pushed the election forward because he wanted to get the reforms in before he is up for reelection. In October of ' 2004, Schwarzenegger enjoyed soaring appro al ratings as high as 65 percent. By spring of 2005, that figure had plummeted to 37 percent. The dwindling numbers, combined with the stunning defeat in the special Above: Former California Governor Gray Davis speaiss about the special elections in Public Policy. Davis was appointed a Distinguished Policy Fellow at the UCLA School of Public Affairs for the 2005-06 School year I Photoqi. iphed by J.Tsmin Niku election, certainly gave Schwarzenegger cause to rethink his self-proclaimed title of The People ' s Governor . In thefall of 2003, Schwarzenegger came into Sacramento promising to clean house. After two years in office, Schwarzenegger faced the first true test of his leadership, rather than riding smoothly through his tenure due to his celebrity status. Voters felt frustrated by his failure to make good on his promises of reform. Voters showed the governor, who is up for reelection in 2006, that such legislation should have been soh ' ed by the government, rather than brought before oters and circumventing the Legislature. Wannier commented, He can no longer rely on the public to force legislators to do what he wants. Stunningly though, Schwarzenegger shrugged off any notion that the election had hurt his political career. The people said, ' Initiatives are fine, but go and work it out with the legislators, ' he claimed. Like the superheroes he played on the silver screen, the Governator was supposed to gallantly march into California and vanquish all of our woes in heroic fashion. Yet the election scenario played out more like a soap opera, in which not e en the protagonist was invincible. Only time will tell whether he ' ll be back for a second term or whether oters will tell him hista la vista, baby.

I 1 1 In a year filled with fires, earthquakes and hurricanes, the outbreak of an epidemic seemed only inevitable. Like mad cow disease and the SARS virus before it, the media ' s barrage of daily warnings kept everyone on guard against the first signs of H5Nl, the strain of bird flu that scientists feared would spread to humans. As of the early months of 2006, the virus had fortunately been constrained to fewer than 200 human cases worldwide, and none within the United States. Still, we were far from immune. The first official case of H5Nl in humans caused the death of a Hong Kong child nearly eight years ago. After the child succumbed to mysterious flu-like symptoms, a series of tissue tests revealed the presence of an avian flu strain. Since then, the disease led to the culling of at least 150 million chickens and the deaths of over 70 people. While the transfer of the disease from bird to human was a rare aberration, the lack of defenses in the human body increased the potential for rapid spreading throughout the world, especially if the virus successfully mutated or combined with already easily transmittable human flu strains. According to the World Health Organization, a human strain of the Above: Molecular virologists use eggs to engineer the H5N1 bird flue vaccine strain. Such procedures brought scientists one step closer to defeating the epidemic. Photographed by Jasmin Niku. On bird flu could result in the deaths of over 7 million people, worldwide. A variant of the avian influenza virus was responsible for the Spanish flu pandemic that killed over 50 million people in 1918 and 1919 and sparked the fears of the possibility of massive fatalities. Apprehension gave way to panic, as the primarily airborne disease marked devastating effects on entire markets of poultry. As the disease spread west from China, European fears of contracting the disease has resulted in the slaughtering of over 50,000 birds even before one case was ever confirmed within the area. With birds embarking on a seasonal westward migration propounded by the crossing of Asian and Alaskan flyways, the likelihood of an American case of bird flu was a valid possibility. campus, students were relatively unaware about the specifics of this sickness. It ' s not really publicized on campus, and they don ' t really make an effort to educate people about it, explained Andrew Tran, a third-year psychobiology student. Yet many students knew the importance of learning more. Just like with the anthrax and SARS scares, America naturally feels threatened by this potential epidemic, replied Alyssa Deer, a first-year pre- business economics student. 1 3 3 2 « -.

A large and soothing choir sang as people filed past the open casket to pay their last respects. Former President Bill Clinton ga e a speech on the great effect that Rosa Parks had on his life and on the world. Her single, simple act of dignity and courage, Clinton stated, struck a lethal blow to the foundations of legal bigotry and made us see, and agree, that everyone should be free. The former president was the first of 25 speakers at the seven-hour service led by Bishop Charles Ellis III and one of many distinguished guests. She became entombed in a mausoleum along with her husband and mother, and was the first woman in history to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda. Rosa Parks sparked the civil rights mo ement 50 years ago in Montgomery, Alabama on December 1, 1955 by refusing to give up her bus seat on the sheer basis of an unjust racial hierarchy. Above: Rosa Parks smiles at her acceptance ceremony of the Congressional Gold Medal in Washington on June 15, 1999. A month before, President Bill Clinton had signed a bill to honor her with this award. 1 Photographed by Khue Bui, AP Photo. The 42-year-old tailor ' s assistant was arrested and fined ten dollars plus court fees for her brave and defiant action that triggered a 381-day boycott of the Montgomery bus system. One year later, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that segregation in city buses was unconstitutional. Parks died on October 24, 2005 at her home in Detroit of natural causes at the age of 92. It is with great fondness that we must bid farewell at the departure of such an esteemed and courageous figure in the battle against the forces that would prohibit racial unity and equality, said first-year mathematics student Yusef Shafi. Her death was a tragic loss of one who wasn ' t afraid to stand for her beliefs in equality, however skewed that equality may be today, voiced Alex Wang, a second-year computer science and engineering student. Rosa Parks was a great woman whose memory and inspiration will li ' e on long after her death. This woman ' s action and dedication towards equality for all Americans will be forever written on the tablets of time and in the hearts of all who are able to li e together in peace and equality today. | 2, -a ' Z VERVDNE ENTERING y ' ' V Monday, January 2, 2006, ■ I V an explosion rocked V_ X A the Sago Mine in West Virginia. The events that unfolded over the next 41 hours would forever alter the story of this once tranquil town. Trapped 260 feet beneath the surface, 13 miners buckled down behind their barricade with only an hour ' s supply of oxygen. As relief efforts progressed, the miners ' families and friends and Governor Joe Manchin kept vigil at a nearby church, drawing comfort and strength from each other in their darkest hour of need. A body found some hours earlier only added to the mounting dread. But 36 hours later, those congregated at the church received word that 12 of the trapped miners were confirmed alive. As the church erupted in cheers and strains of Amazing Grace, they were quickly silenced by corrected information that, in fact, 12 miners had perished, leaving only one survivor barely clinging onto the thread of life. Miscommunication between the rescue crew and command center led to a confrontation between mine officials and furious family members, which was eventually broken up by state troopers.

The sole survivor was Randy McCloy, a 26-year old miner who suffered a collapsed lung, kidney problems due to dehydration, and anoxic injuries to his brain; however, he was lucky to be alive. Rescue workers later found a note scribbled by one of the trapped miners, Martin Toler, Jr In it, he wrote Tell all I see them on the other side — It wasn ' t bad just went to sleep. The unfortunate circumstances granted the miners, at least, a painless death. In retrospect, there was much evidence to suggest that the incident was preventable. The mine, which had a drastically higher injury rate than other similarly-sized mines, had been cited 208 times for safety violations in 2005, including a failure to properly dilute coal dust, which could cause explosions, I ' m just shocked to see how people can be so careless and negligent, added Josephine Seitang, a first-year political science student, especially when dealing with people ' s lives. It will be a while before the citizens of Tallmansville will be able to come to terms with the tragedy and regain their lost faith. However, this disaster gave light to the occupational dangers that miners must face on a daily basis, impelling legislative measures to prevent a future disaster of this nature from happening again.

Samuel Alito was sworn in less than two hours after a ote on his nomination was held in the Senate and a few hours before President Bush ' s annual State of the Union address. The final tally, 38-42, showed that the majority of the Senate favored his appointment; however, the narrow margin implicitly reflected the Senate ' s division on Alito ' s candidacy for the Supreme Court. Alito gained an appointment on one of the slimmest majorities since Clarence Thomas, who as confirmed by a margin of 52-48 nearly 1 5 years ago. As with any election, reactions were mixed. Democratic Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts pushed for a filibuster, in an attempt to keep the vote from taking place. However, Kerry ' s lack of support for Alito was not met without conflicting statements, courtesy of one of Alito ' s most vocal supporters. President Bush, with the failure of Kerry ' s filibuster attempt, the ' ote officially got imderway after a fi e-day confirmation hearing. The controversy surrounding Alito ' s nomination stemmed from his stance on the pivotal issue of a woman ' s right to choose.

Howe er, Alito evaded a majority of the Democratic tug-of-war by stating his great respect of the Roe v. Wade decision, while making no remarks of his intent to uphold it in future court proceedings. Reactions were mixed among students as well. Tamika Gunter, a third-year psychology student, stated, I look forward to seeing the changes Samuel Alito implements. All I can do is cross my fingers and hope he changes a few things for the better. On the other hand, some feared the possibility of major changes in national and local governmental policy. I am pretty liberal in my way of thinking and from what I understand, Alito is pretty darn conservative, oiced Phillip Calvo, a fourth-year astrophysics student. Alito, fiercely backed by the Republican Party, was also able to win the Note of four Democratic Senators. On tlic morning of January 31, 2006, former federal appeals Judge Samuel Alito became the 1 10th Supreme Court j ustice.

He is credited with sa ing America from the stock market Black Friday crash of 1987, and keeping the United States ' economy as the largest in the world, despite considerable competition from the European Union and Asia. This influential man was none other than Alan C. Greenspan. On August 1 1, 1987, the United States Senate confirmed Ronald Reagan ' s appointment of Greenspan as Chairman of the Federal Reser e. During his 19-year tenure. Congress was often confronted with the need to understand ' Greenspeak, ' which was the name given to the coded and careful language employed by Greenspan in his discussions about economic conditions. The Chairman ' s comments left CEOs and the World ' s stock markets in a reverential awe; howe er, despite his propensity for vague language in predicting the future, Greenspan was extremely successful at his job. He oversaw a major long-term upswing in the stock market, focused on reductions Above: Money matters.

After America was wrought by economic and social de ' astation due to 9 ll, Greenspan said before Congress, As we struggle to make sense of our profound loss and its immediate consequences for the economy, we must not lose sight of our longer-run prospects, which have not been significantly diminished by these terrible events. In reference to Greenspan ' s response to the 9 11 attacks, fourth- year political science and psychology student Jen Stier said, Greenspan made somegreat decisions. Those decisions helped the U.S. bounce back to Its currently thriving economy. Greenspan never fell out of fa or with the presidents for whom he worked. He retired on January 31, 2006, and was replaced by Ben Bernanke, a member of the Board of Go erning of the Federal Reser e. Fourth-year political science and history student Jeff Da id believed, Greenspan inspired the American public to ha e confidence in their nation ' s economy, and regardless of how people feel about his exact policies, it will be the confidence he created that m in long-term interest rates, maintained becomes his greatest legacy.

Where does the time go? mm bruins find comforts of home in residence halls From the high rises of Hedrick to the suites of Sunset Village, each residence hall was as unique as the claustrophobia-inducing experience of dorm life. Living in the dorms was a learning opportunity especially for freshmen, some of who were away from their homes for the first time. It provided first year students with their first steps toward independence as many loved living in the petite rooms accented by unforgettable pieces of wooden furniture. However, the reality of independent living became a rude awakening to new students who became aware that the joys of communal showers were sparse, that a walk back to the dorms was a sport of its own, that there were no magic fairies to wash their dirty clothes, that vacuuming was a necessity at least once a month, and that taking out the trash was vital to the room ' s fragrance and one ' s well-being. With these responsibilities adding to the average student ' s busy lifestyle of hanging out with friends, sleeping, going to the occasional class, sleeping again, eating, sleeping some more, and finally, studying, it was remarkable that students on the hill found the time to immerse themselves in dorm activities. Each area, from the residence halls, to the plazas or the suites hosted many activities throughout the year, such as weekly house government meetings, Tai Chi at the Beach, Casino Night, dorm dinners, and game nights in the various lounges. This helped to foster the spirit of a dorm fraternity within the residence halls, rather than the residence facilities merely being a community of indifference. Life on the hill offered something that was irreplaceable by presenting a chance to interact with peers during all hours of the day, a chance to form study groups that turned into impromptu 80s dance parties in the quad, and a chance to establish memories that will linger in these halls for years to come. A friend was just a mere stroll away while fun activities were right around the corner. ■With a vast variety of food selections in the handful of dining halls, the center of campus abo ut a ten minute walk away, and with splendid ' Westwood a bit beyond the outskirts, a student has all he or she needs to live and enjoy life here at UCLA.

As residents trickled back to tlie dorms, they were greeted by the sight of two foreign, gleaming buildings filled with promise and possibilities, not to mention brand new fittings. Rieber Vista, affectionately known as the R ' . and Hedrick Simimit both loomed nine stories tall and consisted of unique single rooms organized into lO-person suites in addition to the regularity of double and triple-occupancy rooms. Its singles made Hedrick Summit diferent than other high rises, commented second-year world arts anti cultures student Rei Takaguka. But it also allowed for more pri% ' acy and a cleaner environment than other dorms. Also, as residential plazas, RV and the Summit boasted private bathrooms and air-conditioning. The two buildings were built as part of UCLA ' s Student Housing Master Plan to eventually guarantee four years of housing for all undergraduate students. Much to the professional staff ' s relief, the response from the residents had been mostly positive. Feedback has been great! The students really liked the building and the way it was laid out, enthused Kallen Mar iuez, the Resident Director of Rieber Vista. In addition to the distinct layout, residents found branil new fmnitLn-e in the rooms antl the heady smell of fresh newness still wafting through tlie halls. Residents were also astonished by the futuristic, talking elevators. And although RV and Summit were originally built for upperclassmen, their halls were primarily filled with an eclectic mix of freshmen, transfers and exchange students instead. The staffs adjusted to the new demographic by grouping freshmen together on particular floors, implementing new academic programs, and organizing numerous excursions into Westwood. However, all good things must carry some sort of drawback. With so many additional students and no dining hall to call their own, extensive lines at other dining halls were a norm when there were no such circumstances in the previous year. However, when it all boils down, dorm life was all about getting to know your fellow Bruins and meeting new people. This year ' s addition allowed many more residents to join the Hill and construct a new community that took advantage of their differences to create memorable friendships and unforgettable experiences. | by Erica Liu Left: Second-year English student Bethany Lilly and third-year theater student Jessical Dochle intently study in the East Lounge of Hedrick Summit as midterms approach.

Desperate times called for desperate measures tor college students who ventured for a life of independence in various apartment complexes scattered throughout Westwood and beyond. Cooking became a necessity tliat had been undiscovered territory for many students. If anything, the past years of residence hall li ing had discouraged any aspect of honing one ' s culinary skills. Even the thought of bringing a personal microwave into your dormitory room was against housing regulations. These pre ious years of dorming bliss set the scene for an eye-opening experience for many students. Livingin the apartments, however, was a chef ' s dream. The uplifting smell of a freshly baked pie, the mellow buzz of an exhaust fan, and the freedom to cook whatever your heart ' s desire on your own personal schedule was a liberating experience.

A delirious roll of out bed and a few steps to the kitchen was all that was necessary to enjoy a hot, homemade breakfast. Li ing room parties were popular activities in the apartments. With the additional space, apartment li ing allowed students to have extra room to play host to their friends, friends of friends, and various members of the greater Los Angeles community. As the stressors of setting up utilities, making rent, and maintaining a sanitary li -ing space while engaging in the activities of a full- time student challenged apartment dwellers, the trials and tribulations of apartment life instilled skills within students that were valuable for post-collegiate living. | by Emily Wilson Above: A group of students take a break from schoolwork and watch a movie in a friend ' s living room.

' itll so many options a ailable tor a ((uick bite to eat, many students met up with friends over a quick lunch in between classes, frequenting campus eateries such as Northern Lights, the Bombshelter and Ackerman Union. When students were not in the mood for campus food, tliey coidd stroll dow n to Westwood for an affordable lunch. Throughout Westwood, numerous vendors gave students wallet friendly discounts. Many students made a daily routine out of going to Buck Fitty to get a hearty burger, colossal drink, and endless amount of fries for a mere $3.50. Taking advantage of any free time, students were often found strewn about campus napping on the hills along Bruinwalk or in the library. The comfortable couches of arious study spaces gave students a well- deserved break from the challenges of a diligent lifestyle. Second-year Stephen Tran, a linguistics and computer science student, found napping an excellent use of time. On mv time off I liked to take naps on the green hillside along the Janss Steps and enjoy the beautiful southern Californian sunshine, attested Tran. Culturally inclined students utilized their free time to hone their musical skills. Fourth-year chemical engineering student David Seki enjoyed strumming his guitar in his free time during the day. I practiced guitar, stated Seki, because girls dig guys who can play guitar. With the relaxing shores and mountains of Santa Monica bordering the outskirts of campus, students took advantage of these dual enxironments from sunup to sunset. With the beaches of Santa Monica and Venice a mere 25-cent bus ride away for card-carrying UCLA students, a romantic or friendly stroll down either one of these seemingly endless coastlines was a frequent activity for transportation-challenged Bruins. Students frequently wisely utilized their free time and the sunny California weather While the habitual routine of class, studying, eating and sleeping could have become mind-numbing, students constantly remembered to relie e stress by ha ing fun in the sun. by Emily I s o n Left: A student strums his guitar out on Bruinwalk as fellow Bruins listen to his song.

Bruins were lucky to be at UCLA and to live in such a ibrant area, brimming with multitudes of interesting things to do. With all the theaters, bars, restaurants and clubs in Westwood and the Los Angeles area, there was always something entertaining to do, no matter what day or time it was. Elizabeth Rodriguez, a fourth-year linguistics student, enjoyed li ing in such a bustling city. I lo e that e crytliing is about fifteen minutes away, attested Rodriguez. I like that the city is spread out but accessible for a nightlife, and that you can do almost anything here. The night life in Los Angeles was ne er dull or boring. There was always something out there to entertain every boy and girl ' s diverse tastes. For those of us with a more limited budget, sometimes it was just best to stay at home and curl up with a good book or watch some television. A relaxing evening at home could be just what one needed to recoxer from the day, while still keeping within the limits of a college student ' s income. Staying in was always nice, but sometimes it was better to just throw a party. Whether it was a small, intimate gathering or a huge, raging shindig, a party was always an excellent way to relax and forget, at least for a little while, about all the stresses that had accumulated throughout the day. Groups of friends cavorted around the Westwood area for an opportunity to let their hair down, even just for a night. It was also a great way to get to know fellow classmates better. As Connie Charoonsrisavasd, a fourth- year psychology student, exclaimed, UCLA parties are great! I love dressing up with my friends and meeting other Bruins. As shown by the crowds outside Buck Fitty and other late night diners. Bruins enjoyed the late nights. Whatever it was that students liked to do at night, they could be sure to find it somewhere within Westwood or in the surrounding Los Angeles area. A Bruin never liad to worry about boredom in a town like this. The only problem they faced was deciding how many actixities they could do in one night. | by Katharine Terkanian l i Above: Second-year microbiology, immunology, anc) molecular genetics student Michelle Yamtoobian, second-year history and English student Sarah Hanft, second-year physiological science student Laney Chinn, second-year anthropology student Hilary Spindler and first-year economics student Roxana Mehrfar prepare for a night at Sigma Chi.

Work was a tlrcack ' d thouglit tliat many put off for post gnukiation. However, for some students, balancing a full com-se load while maintaining a part-time job or internship was a part of their tiaily routine. First-year mechanical engineering student Mike Mowry worked for the Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation as a Recreation Serxice Leader, colloquially known as a park ranger. At the Vasquez Rocks County Park, he jiarticularly enjoyed working in the lax atmospliere. Exeryone was there to ha e a good time, patrons and staff alike, commented Mowry. The area was also a popular location for shooting film and television scenes, confirming that the park ' s rocks had acquired celebrity status oxer the years. Hoxvexer, its location closer to his hometoxvn of Valencia, California, left his occupational exciu ' sions exclusixe to an occasional xveekend. Another student who exemplified an impeccable ability to balance school, xxork, and an internship xvas Shadee Giurgius. Girgius, a third-year psychobiology student, had the interesting prixilege of interning for MTVU, Machine Shop Marketing, UCLA Health Sciences Media Relations and the Alzheimer ' s Association of Los Angeles, as xvell as being an office manager for a nearby doctor ' s office. In atklition to his abounding commitments, he also serxed as an interx iexver for the Undergraduate Science Journal.

Photographed by Tushar k A i fit and active bruins take advantage of resources I nortlcr to break the monotony of endless schoolwork and a barrage of commitments, students needed to find a physical outlet for their stress. UCLA Recreation provided ideal channels for students to release some of their energy. The ■John Wooden Center, the pride of the recreation program, boasted a variety of equipment and facilities to fit any students ' needs. Racquetball courts, a rock wall, indoor basketball courts, comprehensive dancing studios, and a brand new wing housing miles of elliptical machines, treadmills and other macliines were scattered throughout its two floors of space. Almost every muscle in the human body could reach its potential through the impressive ' ariety of machines and free weights specificallj ' meant for toning and buikling muscles. Besides iiidi iilual workouts, students could enroll in specialized classes, stratified by skill le el, ranging anywhere from acting to yoga. First-year undeclared student Lily Bu thought her yogalattes class was pretty difficult for beginners but definitely relaxing and fun! Students could also take classes that de ■eloped their aquatic prowess at one of the pools located in the Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. There, students who diti not know how to swim could get lessons on the basics, wliile those who have mastered the art could frequent the 50-meter lap lanes. While on-campus classes were popular, UCLA Recreation also offered classes that took students away from campus to explore things that many would not ha e had the chance to do on their own, such as bird watching. UCLA students were given free reign to go on kayaking adventures in Marina Del Rey while receiving basic instructions on bird identification. Atypical classes such as this reqiiired only interest and enthusiasm of students wanting to expand their minds with an acti ity considered to be out of the ordinary. A rude awakening sparked first-year design | media arts student Kyle Audick to try the arious offerings of UCLA Recreation. I started going to the .lohn Wooden Center because I tried lifting the yearbook from last year and realized I needed to lift some weights, admitted Audick. Many students followed Audick ' s example by seeking some form of physical acti ity, whether it was starting a workout regime by lifting light free-weights or catching some waves with the surfinsj class.

The members of the three wings of the UCLA Bruin Battalion tested their physical and mental stamina on a daily basis. Forget West Point, Annapolis or the . ir Force Academy. Over the years, the UCLA Reserve Officer Training Corps program has provided students with some of the most intensive military training in the country. ' ith the added responsibilities of ROTC on their shoulders, Daniel Chang, a fourth-year molecular, cell and developmental biology student, and his fellow Naval cadets strode assertively throughout campus with their blindingly white uniforms. With mandatory events such as morning drills, na al science classes (geared toward those preparing for future na al careers) and formal balls, cadets were able to enjoy ample amounts of time with each other. I enjoyed the camaraderie with the students, commented Chang. There was a core group of people that I got to see e ' ery day and we got to know- each other ery well. In addition to personal connections, the leadership qualities that Chang lias acquired ha ' e strengthened his candidacy of gaining a commission w ith the United States Navy at the end of this calendar year.

Army cadets were required to adhere to strict guidelines that ranged from a fitness ethos for the maintenance of superior physical condition to upholding the highest standards of personal conduct. With a possibility of becoming personally invohed with the Iraqi conflict after graduation, members of UCLA ' s ROTC approached the issue with a heightened sense of responsibility and sensitivity.

Mf ji §: finals chance rituals provide a to release stress E ' en thougli college students liad turned cramming for exams into a finely-lioned skill, they still needed a moment of respite e ery now and then. While many frazzled Bruins organized informal ways to relie e their pre- tlnals anxiety, the most prolific tratlitioii on campus was the Undie Run. Still a relatively young tradition on campLis, the quarterly Undie Run has become a headliner and the most popular form nt stress-relief amidst an otherwise loathsome week filled with sleeplessness, bleary eyes and crumpled Redbull cans. Traditionally held on the Wednesday of finals week, the sprint featured Bruins clad only in their undergarments or some outrageous costumes, guided solely by their sense of rexelry. At midnight, as chants of Undie Run! intensified, the horde of nearly naked runners stampeded down Landfair Avenue. This unanticipated tradition, which started with just a lone, trailblazing Bruin, has seen its participation jump to o er 1,000 students. For 30 crazy minutes, runners let go of all their inhibitions as the drudgery of finals and papers were forgotten. The run did as much good for camera-wielding spectators as for the runners. I think it ' s a good way for students to relieve their stress during finals week, reflected third-year undeclared student Tallen Dersaroian. Honestly, when in your life will 3 ' ou be able to run in your underwear through the streets of LA? Other traditions, such as the Midnight Yell, haven ' t fared as well, as the administration intervened after a few unfortunate incidents in which students burned couches and threw rocks and bottles at police officers. However, the tradition unofficially persisted, kept alive by students whose scattered and anonymous shouting were heard from various windows during finals week. E en if they are inconvenient anti time-consuming, I approxe of finals rituals because they giNe us the release we sorely need during that dreaded week, voiced Ge ik Sarkissian, a second-year physics student. Unfortunately, the midnight merry- making that was the Undie Run also came under scrutiny by the UCPD and the administration after local residents made complaints of property damage, andalism and excessive noise. With many of its participants under the influence of alcohol, the safety of its runners was also an issue. Administrative concern could alter this rampage in the years to come. But for this year, at least, the Undie Run remained the weapon of choice for temporarily warding off the effects of finals. With undies on full display, papers seemed a little less immediate, finals seemed a little less daunting, and students were able to throw off the shackles of studying, t by Erica Liu Above: Scantily clad students stampede down Landfair Avenue in a rowdy swarm.

Do explained that waking up on a Saturday morning was definitely hard, but knowing that there were people waiting for you to study with and to talk to made the difficulty of waking up much easier. We were not just there as academic resources for students, but also as big brothers and sisters for them to trust and talk to. For some, these activities were predominantly weekend practices; for others, philanthropy was a part of their everyday lives. With a host of social issues needing to be addressed within the LA area, there was a great need for assistance from volunteers from all walks of life. UCLA was able to provide many dedicated student volunteers to help alleviate these problems. Whether it was mentoring a middle school student, promoting health awareness in the community, or teaching English to immigrant students, the impact that students e m I n g a d y to with help nuule was priceless. With over soo UCLA students registered, the third annual Community Service Day that took place on Saturday, November 5, 2005, was a strong indication that students were eager to make differences through their service. Students across Los Angeles volunteered in a wide ariety of capacities such as assisting in homeless shelters, renovating a drug abuse rehabilitation center, beautifying a local elementary school, and lending a helping hand at an animal shelter. Students found themselves among a community brought together by their common ideals of selfless service. Fourth- year biochemistry student Yi-Jiun Wang recounted, I joined Bruin Partners my freshman year in order to become more acquainted with the campus and in return, I was able to make a difference in my mentee ' s life as well as make some lasting friendships. Wang said that she was, not only able to motivate an underprivileged sixth grader to attend college, I will also carry with me some of the best experiences of my college career. While navigating through four years of college, the lives of students were enhanced by these extracurricular activities. All in all, many Bruins who were involved in the community swept through the Los Angeles area with open hearts and helping hands. | by Victoria Nguyen Leh: Agnes Zapata, a fourth-year English student. mingles with her mentees after spending time with more academic affairs.

I Photograph submitted by Brum Partners, students are immersed in a rich art culture In the midst of papers, quizzes and tests, it could be difficult for a Bruin to find time to experience something beyond the rigors of school. Fortunately, students at UCLA had the opportunity to explore outside the borders of classroom through the richness of art. Teeming with cultural hotspots such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Getty Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the UCLA Hammer Museum, and many others, Los Angeles could satiate any cultural appetite through exhibits that piqued a variety of students ' interests. Students ' art pieces were also available for viewing all throughout campus and just outside of its boundaries. The Perloff Gallery exhibit, Manifold Destiny II, showcased the work completed by architecture and urban design students during a seminar in Kauai, Hawaii. Additionally, the Kerckhoff Art Gallery hosted an exhibit put on by the Neuroscience Undergraduate Society, demonstrating that even south campus students could be active in art. The aim of our exhibition was to show to the rest of the UCLA community that science and art are far more similar than most would believe, said fourth-year neuroscience student Maureen Hagan. Scientific research is all about finding creative solutions to questions about the world around us. It was our aim to give exposure and recognition to this overlooked artistic community here at UCLA. UCLA was a great place to find student art; however, it was also home to many exhibits featuring artists from various parts of the world. Columbian photojournalist, Pablo Serrano was invited to display some of his work and also to speak about the people displayed in his art. Serrano remarked that his favorite part of being a photographer was using his art for teaching purposes. ' Art is a key part of learning, he said. It ' s the visual part, something more than just reading about things in books. He used photography as a tool to teach people about other communities, as well as allowing the people he has documented to see themselves and their own history. It ' s important for groups to put together events like this, commented Serrano. It ' s a way to teach about other communities. He was glad to be invited to UCLA and to take part in the education of its students. Through their work, artists such as Serrano were able to contribute to the complex diversity of the UCLA campus and, at the same time, gave students the opportunity to expose themselves to incomparable forms of visual stimulation.

It certainly wasn ' t hard for you to find student groups that suited your particular interests, especially with hundreds of registered student groups on campus. What drove you to participate in so many organizations? Perhaps it was the opportunity to support a charitable cause? Or was it the thrill of practicing and perfecting a special talent? Then there are the lifelong friends that you have made over the course of the year... Whatever the reason, all you know is that the wonderful world of student organizations was well worth diving into. i Right: During this particular meeting of the Future Business Leaders of America, a representative from a leading pharmaceutical company presented a resume writing workshop.

Students in organizations attempted in ain to make eye contact in hope.s of garnering a future member. Walking down the all too familiar insanity of Bruinwalk and avoiding flyers seemed like a challenging task, but the importance of it as a foundation for diversity was easily recognized. Looking up Bruinwalk, one saw that there was a midtitude of student organizations eager and willing to spread the word about their group. The assortment of organizations on Bruinwalk showed the ariety throughout all groups on campus. With over 45,000 students at UCLA, it was easy to get lost amidst the huge crowds. Many students got involved in student groups in order to create a closer relationship with a number of their fellow students. As darkness fell and the campus emptied, there were still those that were lured to campus by weekly scheduled meetings and the thought of connecting with fellow students with similar interests. From the Association of Chinese Americans to the Sociology Undergraduate Association to Amnesty International, there was nex ' er a shortage of groups for students to enthusiastically explore. With over 500 registered organizations, student groups truly showed that UCLA was a multi-faceted community. Student inxohement outside of the classroom gave students a sense of belonging that can often be difficult in such a large school. The many groups on campus focused on many different issues; culture, service, academics and performance. Fourth-year anthropology major. Lien Trinh, encouraged involvement in student groups on campus. Being a part of Unicamp, I ' ve met a lot of great people and by meeting them and being a part of this organization, I felt like I had actually become a part of something and that my efforts are needed. I was able to take on roles that I never thought I could, she said. Invohement in an organization on campus fostered a different aspect of students; the ability to take on leadership roles and be involved in something with a meaningful result. Even with back to back meetings for some students, the satisfaction students received outweighed the tremendous time commitment. Weaving through the four years of college (or five or more for some), participation in organizations, whether through leadership, weekly attendance at meetings or just attendance at a few select events served to enhance a student ' s college years. ! iry l)y Victoria Nguvi Above: The elected members of USA C unanimously pass a motion after intense deliberations.

Undergraduate students had their ery own go erning body, the Undergraduate Students Association, to ensure that the oices of the students were heard. The Undergraduate Students Association Council, known by the masses as USAC, consisted of thirteen elected and appointed members. The majority of the elected officers were responsible for heading a handful of commissions within the association. These commissions enriched the li es of students in a variety of capacities. The Campus Events Commission is known for putting on concerts and fdm screenings. Some of the film screenings are free sneaks in which students pick up a ticket from the campus events offices and stand in line the night of the movie which is usually not released nationwide until later on. Bands like The 88, whose song can be found on The OC soundtrack, and The Section Quartet, who performed a medley of familiar songs play in Bruin Plaza at noon. The Financial Supports Commission was responsible for the Book Lending Program, in which students were able to borrow books for a quarter with no detriment to their bank accounts. Third-year political science student and Financial Supports Commissioner Ryan Smeets vied to serve UCLA students by providing them with the resources they need to enjoy the time they spend at this university. The commission also held financial aid workshops where students were able to receive aid in filling out their FAFSA forms. The Student Welfare Commission, as its name implies, concentrated its efforts on the maintenance of student health. Their events consisted of a blood drive during Blue and Gold week and heading a number of AIDS Awareness programs, where members were able to distribute essential information about the deadly illness. In addition to directly supporting a barage of causes through its student- managed staffs, USAC indirectly contributed to its community by subsidizing a large amount of student-run clubs and organizations. One such organization was the Future Business Leaders of America, Phi Beta Lambda, which received almost one thousand dollars in a grant for administrative purposes. Through the allocation of its budget to a variety of student organizations, L ' SAC was able to surpass campus boundaries to extend its influence in more vvorldy causes. 1 by Christal Thavincher Within the bustling third floor of Kerckhoff Hall, the headquarters of the Office of the USAC President housed fifth-year international development studies and sociology student Jenny Wood and her self-appointed staff Wood strove to strengthen the council ' s influence in the retention of underrepresented students and to create awareness of pertinent issues within the realm of international social justice. Within the past five years. Wood has experienced the full scale of USAC ' s rich offerings, starting with a position with the Student Welfare Commission, eventually leading her election as one of last j ' ear ' s General Representatives.

During all hours of the day and night, members of the hardworking staff frantically typed up stories, conducted interviews by phone, watched the television for breaking news, and busily worked to make the Daily Bruin the number one collegiate newspaper in the western United States. Founded in the pixotal year of 1919, the Daily Bruin proudly boasts the title of being the third largest circulating newspaper in Los Angeles with over 15,000 copies printed everyday. The image of a student lounging around on the steps of Royce Hall with a copy of the day ' s Daily Bruin in hand was a quintessentially UCLA-an visual. In the mornings, I loxed eating breakfast and doing the crossword puzzle with my friends, stated tlrst-year molecular, cellular, and developmental biology student Anna Xu. First-year history and art student Ellen Garibaldi, on the other hand, was a dedicated reader of the Bruin for more informati e purposes. Without the Daily Bruin, I would ha e been so disconnected from the world. The Daily Bruin made sure that news was readily available for students to read and to be informed about our world. Howe er, one had to wonder how this huge st aff of o er 150 members was able to operate so smoothly. Regular editorial board meetings, with the addition of seasoned staff members helped to coordinate the efforts in producing a daily publication. The Editor-in-Chief also played a crucial part in keeping the staff members united and the publication running smoothly. Charles Proctor, the 2005- ' 2006 Editor-In-Cliief was successful in his leadership of the staff Despite the success and popularity of the Daily Bruin, Proctor described its production system as far from streamlined and, if you compared us to a professional mid-sized metro, we ' d probably look pretty archaic. In spite of these drawbacks, the Daily Bruin has pro en to pull ahead to continue to produce its award-winning publication while succeeding in meeting its goals of impro jng3 the quality of life of our community as a whole and educat[ingj the next generation of professional journalists. | by Michele Pham As the 2005-2006 Editor-In-Chief of California ' s top collegiate newspaper, fourth-year English student Charles Proctor brilliantly managed the 150+ members of the Daily Bruin to create an award-winning publication on a near-daily basis.

Prior to taking the reigns of the Daily Bruin leadership, Proctor worked his way up from humble beginnings as a news writer and soon took on additional responsibilities as news editor. He lead with a strong fist but helping hand, and devoted the majority of his college career to the daily production of the paper.

UCLAtv, a student-run cable telexision channel, was broadcasted on channel 29, reaching an exclusi e audience of those residing within on-campus housing and a select group of other nearby buildings. This channel hosted many shows, such as BruinNe vs29, Super Seniors, Tight Short, The Mike and Ben Show and many more. BruinNews29, a 30-minute show which aired e •ery Thursday at 7 p.m. throughout weeks one through nine, provided telex ' ised news for the UCLA population. The Mike and Ben Show, featuring a half-hour showing of sketch comedy pieces, was established during the fall of 1999, making it the longest-running telexision show at UCLA. The show started off as just a few guys with a camera and has really morphed into an institution over the years, explained Daniel Ricker, the show ' s producer I lox ' ed working on the show because we were a really tight-knit group; joining the show was kind of like joining a fraternity, but with no dues and more nudity. First-year history student, Cameron Lee was a fan of The Mike and Ben Show because it was, so random and hilarious. I was always surprised and was left wondering what had actually happened. The students who were involved with these various show ' s were able to develop their writing, filming, editing, acting, producing and managing skills, skills that enabled them to gain aluable experience for the future. UCLA Radio broadcasted over the internet from the URL, UCLARadio.com, and played a musical rotation of genres ranging from rap to classical music during its 12- hour shows. This organization was, as their motto stated, committed to the finest programming to inform and entertain UCLA and the world at large, and offering UCLA students and staff the opportunity to participate in the creation and delivery of this content. The programming of UCLAtx ' and Radio accurately reflected the differing lifestyles and thoughts of students at UCLA. The students of these media organizations knew how to program shows with precision while having hours upon hours of fun doing what they loved best. by Michele Pham s g Al-Talib Fern La ' . holographed by Tushar Ranjan Mission Statement Al-Talib, which means the student; ' is devoted to covering the American Muslim community.

Photograph submitted b Clothesline Project In 1998, the Clothesline Project was started by faculty members of the Office of Residential Life, but since then has flourished into a student-run organization. Taking place in spring quarter, it was an annual display of color-coordinated T-shirts in Dickson Plaza that was a visual representation of survivors ' journeys. There were over 600 shirts displayed, all products of survivors, or family and friends of those who lost their lives to sexual, domestic or gender-based violence. Not only this, but this ,3-day exhibit was paired with workshops in the past that have ranged from transgender issues to self-defense. The culminating e ' ent of this display was Taking Back the Night where there were speakers and performers, as well as a candlelight vigil and a speak-out for survivors to share their stories. After this, over 200 students marched from De Neve Plaza through Westwood. making a stance against violence by carrying drums and picket signs, chanting the whole way. According to third-year art history and marine biology student Swati Misra, We at UCLA Clothesline Project hope that it will pre ' ent sexual violence by increased education about consent, the law and resources around campus. We also aspire to provide a support .system for survivors and victims ' friends and family in order to break the silence about the prevalence and occurrence of these terrible crimes. The impact that the event had on those passing by was immense because each shirt told a different story, and through the shirts, others got a chance to see people ' s stories of sexual violence, .slorv b I ' lctoria Nguyen.

To four-time camp counselor and fourth-year sociology student Cecilia Carillo, UniCamp is about putting forth your best for the benefit of the children. UniCamp is the largest uni%ersity-based camp and one of the oldest student-organized charities in the nation. The summer was di ided into seven one-week sessions, where counselors spent a week with campers coming from all over Los Angeles, including Compton, Watts, Santa Monica and Venice. Throughout spring quarter, before the summer, counselors had weekly trainings and events such as the annual Camp-a-thon fundraiser and the UniCamp retreat. Counselors were highly moti ated by the impact that they were able to make in the lives of children that did not typically get the chance to experience a camp like this because of their low income backgrounds, while campers got an unforgettable experience.

By having a presence on campus, they wanted to spread the word about this day celebrated throughout the world. This 3 ' ear the day culminated with Daisy Day Out Loud, an added component that featured speakers, music, dance performances, activities and information on how to make a difference. Students were given the opportunity to paint pots and plant daisies to donate to local shelters, and to remind people of the issues of gender equality. Reflecting on the day, co-director for the program, Rita Qatami, said The e ' ent was a huge success and helped make many students stop and learn about what International Women ' s Rights Day was and what impact it has made.

After all, if UCLA were a country, it would have placed 14th overall in the medal count during the 2004 Olympic Games at Athens, Greece. There wasn ' t necessarily one leader, it was our team.

Third time ' s the by --..J n Yim There was nothing to suggest that the 005 Bruin football season would be anything special. Within the two-year tenure ot ' head coach Karl Dorrell, the Bruins hatln ' t recorded a single winning season, accunndating a mediocre o erall record of 1 -13. They had neither beaten a ranked team nor had they been ranked themselves since the 2002 season. Additionally, the Bruins were ineffective in successfully closing out the past two seasons, going 1-8 during the pivotal months of November and December, including a pair of embarrassing bowl losses to Fresno State and Wyoming. So, naturally, hen Dorrell announced that UCLA is ready to make that next step at the Pac-10 Media Day, the Bruin faithful was skeptical. For the first two months of the season, Dorrell was able to silence his critics by guiding UCLA to an astounding 8-0 record, incluiling ictories o er isth-rankeil Oklahoma and tenth-ranketl California. Senior quarterback Drew Olson pro ided nuich-needed leadership and poise during crucial times within the winning streak, leading the team to four come- from-behind victories. None of these were more exciting or dramatic than UCLA ' s win o ' er Stanford, in which the Bruins o ercame a 21-point deficit in less than eight and a half minutes, eventually winning the game in oxertime on Olson ' s 23-yard touchdown pass to sophomore receiver Brandon Breazell. Olson, who tore his ACL in the 2004 season finale against Wyoming, was expected by many to be replaced by heralded freshman transfer Ben Olson. These thoughts were quickly forgotten, as it became clear that Drew Olson was in tile midst of carxing out one of the greatest seasons in UCLA (juarteri)ack history. Olson elexateti his game to another lex ' el, posting a remarkable 34 touchilowns w ith only six interceptions in his final season as a Bruin. His performance placed him near the top of every statistical passing category in the UCLA record books and earned him national recognition, including an eighth place finish in the final results of the Heisman Trophy ballot. Equally important to the Bruin ' s success was junior running back Maurice Drew. Though he stood a head shorter than everyone else on the tleld, Drew ' s lightning-ciuick reflexes and blazing speed made him a threat wlieiiexer he touched the ball. Drew ' s three punt returns for touchdoxvns earned him the reputation as one of the most dangerous return men in the country. Drew ' s 299-yard offensixe performance, including an impressive fix e touchdoxvns established Drexv as one of the best running backs in UCLA history, finishing first in career all-purpose yards and fourth in touchdowns. storv continued on page 202... _i !

However, instead of folding at the end of the year as they had in previous seasons, the Bruins came back strong with a win over Arizona State. Though they suffered a loss against top-ranked use, the Bruins secured a berth in the Vitalis Sun Bowl, where they defeated Northwestern 50-38. It was a really big thing to send out all the seniors with a win, said redshirt sophomore fullback Michael Pitre, We took a lot of pride as the teammates of those graduating because this was something that they were going to remember for the rest of their lives. Finishing with a 10- record, Dorrell made good on his promise to take UCLA to the next level.

He was later selected to both the Top Drawer Soccer and the College Soccer News National Teams of the Week because of his performance.

Junior defender Kiel McClung commented on the camaraderie of his teammates by saying, We were one of the closest teams on campus; we even had e ents to just hang out w itli each other The players had se eral traditions that helped them bond on and off the field. For example, before each game, the players woukl sit down together to enjoy a pregame meal in order to bond and calm their nerves before they hit the field. Also, prior to each game, they woukl play music to raise the energy level in the locker room, often playing a song from the movie, Any Given Sunday.

Howe%er, the bitter taste of defeat reeked through the mouths of soccer enthusiasts as the Bruins were the first team in NCAA women ' s soccer history to be defeated in the national championship game by a round of penalty kicks in overtime. With memories of missed opportunities and sour defeat still fresh in their mind.s, tiie women ' s soccer team fought with unparalleled fer or throughout the regular season, amassing an impressi e l7-l- ' 2 record and its third Pac-10 ciiampionship in a row. It felt great, commented Head Coach Jillian Ellis to uclabruins.com after the team ' s last regular season game against the Arizona State Sun Devils. I don ' t think tliat ' s ever been done at UCLA and I think this put us in a position to receive a high seed in the NCAA Tournament. Indeed, Ellis ' prediction was realized when the Bruins ' impressive regular season performance led to a number one regional seed in the 2005 NCAA Tournament. In their ninth appearance in collegiate soccer ' s premier tournament, the Bruins opened by shutting out the Mississippi Valley State Buffalos in their quest for their first national championship in the 13- year history of the program. Within the following two weeks, the soccer specialists decisively dro e past all of their opponents with impressive defensive stands, outscoring their opponents by an impressive margin of 25 to zero. The team ' s amazing tournament run was highlighted by a record-setting four-goal performance by sophomore midfielder Danesha Adams in tiie quarterfinal match against the University of Virginia Cavaliers. For the second year in a row, the Bruins found themseh ' es steps away from acquiring the elusive national championship. With an air of invincibility surrounding their national championship run, the Bruins left for College Station, Texas to tie up loose ends from the previous year. However, the bleak, 50-degree weather set an ominous atmosphere for the players who had become accustomed to the friendlier environment of Southern California. Within a blink of an eye, the Bruins found themselves a goal down, with their impressive shutout run trounced in a mere 90 seconds into the game. The undefeated Pilots of Portland o erwhelmed the Bruins ' defensive arsenal.

After the title game, senior defender Jill Oakes, the captain of the squad, made an inspirational reflection on the team ' s season. I think we set a standard for UCLA soccer, commented Oakes. There ' s a UCLA national championship right around the corner and it ' s going to be somebody on this team that ' s going to bring it home. Hopefully I ' ll be right there in the stands to witness it, because I ' m a Bruin for life.

Daily Bruin, ; Mk Running I- 1 ru rL WM) by Jo After an uiisucct ' ssful bid to compute in tiie ' 2004 NCAA Di ision I cross country clianipionships ' team exent, the 2005 men ' s cross country team hoped to turn tiie corner this year witii a mixture of new talent and eteran leadership. Tiie Bruins were forced to replace its top three performers from last year ' s scjuad: Jon Rankin, Erik Emilsson and Ben Aragon, which ended up being a tall task for 6th year coach Kric Peterson. Filling those shoes were returning eterans, including senior Nick De Felice, junior Austin Ramos and sophomore Mike Haddan. However, taking the spotlight of the leadership position was none other than Ramos, who continued where he left off last year by finishing in the upper echelon in numerous e ents. I gained more and more confidence during the course of the season, said Ramos. I realized I was capable of consistently performing at a high level and that took some of the stress off UCLA started the season strong with Hatlden placing eighth with a time of i26 minutes ' 27.90 seconds in the sK run at the Cal State Fullerton Imitational followed by a 15th place finish by Senior Nick De Felice with a time of ' 26:58.80. In the Sun Dodger Invitational, UCLA finished third with Ramos capturing his first e er top place finish in a collegiate event. The Bruins placed l. ' ith and 7th in the Pre-NCAA Invitational and Pac-10 Championships respectixely, with both Ramos and Hadden running away with first-team All-Conference honors. Haddan ' s run in the Pac-10 Championships surprised many folks including some of his teammates. Haddan ' s performance . . . was definitely a huge surprise, said sophomore teammate Kyle Shackleton. We all knew that he was in shape to come up with a huge performance late in the season, but I don ' t think anybody imagined he could finish in 6tli place. At the NCAA West Regional Championships, the Bruins finished 12th overall, w ith Ramos claiming All West Regional honors, the first in his career He also secured an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Championships, also a fn-st in his career. Ramos went on to finish 4Sth and was named Ail-American, a feat achieved by only four other Bruin runners since 1986. Despite Ramos ' s efforts, the Bruin team disappointedly did not qualify for the NCAA Di ision I Championships. Their last appearance was in 1985 when the Bruins finished 12th overall. I just think that . . . we are much better than [what our results were at the end of the year, said Shackleton. It was a competitive conference and region, but I think our team has more ability to improve on conference and regional status than any other team in the western United States. Certainly with a returning All-American and the whole team pretty much still intact, the Bruins have much to look forward to next season. I Left; Members of the men ' s cross country tearr physically and mentally prepare at the start of a grueling race. This year saw the emergence of junior Austin Ramos and sophomore Mike Haddan as top runners, both of whom captured a number of top finishes and Pac-10 All-Conference honors.

Above: Sophomore Alice Bohannon, sophomore Monika Rothenburger and senior Jenna Timinsky maintain a similar pace near the beginning of a race, Proper pacing between each team member maximized team performance. I Photographed by Evan Gole. Daily Bruin, Keeping 5v 2 4 by Erica Liu This season was uncomentional in man} ' ways. With three ot ' last year ' s top runners redshirting and minierous injuries and illnesses plaguing the team, the Bruins rarely competed at their full potential. The roster laeketl depth and was inconsistent throughout the season. However, the undeterred women ' s cross-country team found a way to overcome these seti)acks and delixered a strong season in the face of adxersity. The Bruins got off to a strong start as they won the team title at the Cal State Fullerton Season Opener, with top ten t ' mishes from true fresiiman Lindsay de la Montaigne and senior Sarah West. At the Sundodger Cross Country Invitational, the Bruins once again ran in top form finishing second in the 6000 meter. Junior Ashley Caldwell led the team with a third-place performance, while sophomore Claire Rethmeier placed an impressive fifth. The Bruins suffered a brief lapse with a 13th place showing at the Roy Griak Invitational, but Caldwell provided the siher lining with one of the best performances of her career, finishing fourth o erall. The Bruins had an excellent showing in the UCSD Triton Classic in which all participating Bruins finished witiiin tiie top ' _ ' ? and were led by senior Lori Mann ' s fifth place performance. The biggest obstacle of the season came in the form of the pre-NCAA Invitation, held on the same course that would later host the NCAA Championships. This prestigious meet allowed the Bruins to compete against some of the best runners in the country and scope out their postseason competition. Cementing her position at the top of the Bruins ' roster, Caldwell ' s eighth-place finish bested her lifetime record of 20 minutes, 29 seconds by 15 seconds in the 6000 meter. The team ended up finishing 14th overall. In the postseason, the Bruins finished sixth in the Pac-10 Championships due to unfortunate illnesses and injuries. Caldwell ' s outstanding top-tl e performance earned her first-team All-American honors. I ' m really happy, it has been a really good year, stated the enthused Caldwell. Of course, you always want to finisii higher but I ' m thankful and 1 definitely hope to improve. Rethmeier also turned in a solid performance with a 24th place finish (21:54 in the 6000 meter). Two weeks later, the Bruins bounced back wit h a commendable fifth place showing in the NCAA West Regionals. At the NCAA Championships, Caldwell, once again, surpassed expectations with a 16th place finish against the fastest runners in the country. In doing so, she joined the elite echelon of Bruin cross country runners, becoming only the second woman in UCLA history to earn multiple All-American honors in her collegiate career. Like the sport itself, the Bruins must look ahead, instead of focusing on the present. I felt good about the foundation we had been building for future success, described Head Coach Eric Peterson. This was a young team and a high percentage will be back next year. ' We were not overly satisfied [about this season ' s performance], but. ..we are optimistic about the future. Left: Senior Sarah West keeps her head level and concentrates on finishing the race. Physical endurance as well as mental lortitude were both vital components for a solid runner.

The defending champions, hoping to feed off from last year ' s success opened up the season with a 30-point slaughter on lowly Chaminade. Led by senior attacker David Pietsch and junior goalkeeper Will Didinger, the Bruins started with a streak of 6 wins before falling to Stanford in a triple o ertime penalty shootout in the Southern California tournament, a rematch of last year ' s NCAA Championship finals. The Bruins went on to finish fourth, losing in overtime 7-6 to perennial powerhouse California in tlie third place match. UCLA rebounded with a 7-5 victory against 6 ' th ranked Pepperdine, a game that propelled the Bruins to another multi-game winning streak leading up to the Northern California Tournament held in Berkeley. After a tough tournament where we fell short by just one point, it was good to pick yourself up against a team like Pepperdine, said sophomore goalkeeper Matt Kellogg. In that stretch, the Bruins avenged an earlier loss to California, beating them 7-4 and topping 7ti) rank UCI in the process in a 10-8 showing. Howe er, the Bruins, reminiscent of the SoCal Tourney, suffered a similar fate in the Northern California tournament. The Bruins lost to California and Stanford by the score of 7-6 and 6-5 respecti ely, finishing in fourth place again. UCLA would set a careless precedent against top ranking teams in the latter portion of the season. With a !20 game home winning streak on the line, then 5th rank UCLA would lose to use in a heartbreaker. UCLA had the chance to win that game, but a controversial call at the end of regulation prevented a goal by Pietsch in the waning seconds, giving USC the 8-7 overtime win. In the MPSF conference championships, LICLA again suffered a devastating overtime loss to California, ending its hope of repeating as national champions. Realistically, the young Bruin team fell witiiin a few goals away from ad ancing to the Final Pom-. It was upsetting how we ended up, said redshirt freshman Miguel Cidoncha-Simnis. We all worked so hard and it all just came down to just a few key plays. itor continued on page 218.. M It was upsetting how we ended up...

Yet the Bruins did manage to beat out Long Beach State and Pacific in tlie consolation bracket. 0 ' erall tile Bruins recorded a ' 21-8 season and earned 5th place at the MPSF Championships.

Regardless of any shortcomings, the Bruins still iiad a strong siiowing from a yomig team after losing eight of last year ' s seniors. With a strong foundation of young players in place, UCLA may just be a few splashes away from another title.

Ir4 . f allovired by Emily Wilson Coming off of an undefeated season, the ' 2005 defending NCAA champion Bruins entered the 2006 campaign as the top-seeded team in the nation and with targets on their backs. With the loss of only two seniors, the Bruins retained most of their 33-0 team from last year. This year ' s Bruin squad returned fifteen letter winners from last year ' s championship campaign, including 2005 AWPCA first team Ail-American utility player Thalia Munro, who was described as one of the best all-around defenders in the country. Through excellent play at the beginning of the 2006 season, the Bruins made it clear that they intended to repeat their record setting performance in 2005. As the season waned, the Bruins were one of three teams in contention for the championship, with the other two being cross-town ri al USC and Stanford. The Trojans and the Cardinal were two perennial teams that came close last year in dethroning UCLA ' s dominance. The Bruins began the season with a major splash in the Stanford In itational, demolishing Cal State Bakersfield and Cal State Northridge, beating both teams by 18 points. The 22-goal count against Bakersfield was the highest point total for the women ' s team ever. The team then enjoyed a four-game winning streak, stretching UCLA ' s win-streak to a record 40 before succumbing to USC in the Stanford Invitational title game. The two teams were neck-and-neck for three quarters until a lack of offensive production sealed the win for the Trojans, as they out-dueled the Bruins, 10-8. As the season progressed, the team remained dominant in the pool. The Bruins scored 13 goals against Cal State San Bernardino while their stifling defense held the Coyotes to one goal. Later on the same day, the Bruins ' defensive prowess once again o erwhelmed a struggling UCSD team, holding them to a single goal. The squad continued its outstanding play by winning multiple matches in a row. I know now that it takes much more than talent and luck to win games, said junior goalkeeper Emily Feher who is in her third year studying psychology. It takes a lot of grit, heart and passion in order to win championships. Even with an 11-game winning streak heading into a rematch with USC, the team believed that they still had room to improve. In an interview with the Daily Bruin, head coach Adam Krikorian admitted that, SC is still the team to beat. They are on a similar path we were last season. But I think right now we ' re on the path to be playing our best water polo all year. The match will feature a strong USC team that defeated them earlier in the season . o story conthiiied on page 222... ...storv continued from page 221 . to claim the top-rank.

Regardless of the winning mentality that comes with UCLA men ' s basketball, not many would have expected the team to reach the championship game. In fact, not many would expect UCLA to take the Pac-10 title let alone reached the Final Four. It was perhaps expected of Coach Ben Howland within two or three seasons from now, but to everyone ' s surprise, UCLA had regained its dominance, its alor, its tradition. Howland has brought the roar back to UCLA basketball. In just his third season, UCLA climbed from a dismal 10-19 record in ' 2002 to this year ' s conference-best 32-7 record. Howland, with a knack for turning basketball programs around, got the Bruins rolling early with an ll-l start. UCLA continued its brilliant start by leading the conference every step of the way for its 24th Pac-10 Title. The last title came in 1996-97 season. The Bruins went on to win the Pac-10 Tournament in dominating fashion by beating Oregon State, Arizona, and California en route to an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. All the wins were by double-digit margins of 32, 12 and 19, respectively. Led by sophomore All-Pac-10 guards Arron Afflalo and Jordan Farmar, the Bruins overcame some earl) ' injuries to secure a second seed in the NCAA tournament by season ' s end. Winning the Pac-10 Championship has been the high point so far, said Afflalo. ' We are definitely better than last year, better defensix ' e team and more mature and experienced from last year. The experience definitely helped the young Bruins overcome the loss of sophomore forward Josh Ship who injured his hip in the off-season. Not only did the Bruins play without their third-leading scorer from last year ' s squad, nagging injuries to Farmar, senior centers Ryan Hollins and Michael Fey, and redshirt senior guard Cedric Bozeman added to the team ' s adversity. Injuries also limit playing time of sophomore center Lorenza Mata in the latter half of the season. Despite a laundry-list of injuries, Howland still kept the team focused and prepared for a brutal Pac-10 schedule. Also, thanks to the quick maturity of UCLA ' s young freshmen, guard Darren Collison and forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, UCLA was on track to win the conference ' s first title in nine years. Ben Howland has a history of being a winning coach and he has brought a winning attitude to the team. said Afflalo. story continued on page 226..

Daily Bruin. il2t ...story continued from page 224. The winning attitude certainly willed the team to win against conference foes of the likes of Arizona and Stanford, who traditionally held an advantage over the Bruins. Instead, UCLA was able to sweep both teams this season; a feat not accomplished since the 1995 championship season. Arguably, the team ' s anchor for success has been its tenacious defense. UCLA was able to hold off its opposition from scoring more than 60 points in 1 1 out of tiie last 13 games including holding Memphis and LSU to the incredible number of 45 en route to the national title game. It was defense that overcame Gonzaga in the Sweet 16, as the Bruins were pushed to the very brink of elimination until a Bozeman steal and a Farmer dish to Mbah A Moute for an ensuing lay-up sealed the win. It was defense that got the Bruins to the final, but unfortunately, it was the lack of D that unraveled its quest for their I ' ith Championship in school history. The school definitely has a lot of championships, said Aftlalo. For our era, we want to put up our own championship banner for people to look back on. Though it did not happened this year, the basketball squad got awfully close. In time, the 12th banner will make its way to Westwood, where it will hang majestically in historical Pauley Pavillion.

But the Bruins, witli the security to the NCAA Tournament berth on the line, had to claw their way back in tiie second iialfin a nail-biter. Down by two points with 49 seconds remaining, jiuiior guard Noelle Quinn drained a three-pointer giving the Bruins a delicate lead. In the subsequent procession, USC guard Allison .laskow iak was fouled dri ing to the basket and sunk two free-throws to reclaim the advantage. In a dramatic fashion with 17.5 seconds remaining, senior guard Nikki Blue in her last game in Pauley Pa ilion, faked out Jaskowiak near the top of the key to buy her just enough space for a shot that just clanged off the rim. USC would secure tlie rebound forcing the Bruins to foul. It was a good shot, said Blue, unfortunately I didn ' t make it but it was there for me to make. It ' s always hard losing a game like that especially to USC. UCLA woidd not get another chance to win, but being in a tight game lielped the team perse ere through similar situations. With only two games and the Pac-lO Toiu-nameiit left at that stage, the Bruins had much to prove to the NCAA selection committee. Following the tough loss to USC, the Bruins rebounded against Oregon State and Oregon, beating them 72-59 and 66-65, respectively, moving them one game closer to the elusive 18 win-mark - the number closely associated with being selected to the Big Dance. The season has been kind of like a roller coaster, said Blue, but in the end we were playing real good basketball. We fwere] in really good position to make it to the NCAA Tourney. The Bruins played outstanding basketball by winning the last fi e of six regular season games to place themseh ' es third in the Pac-10. We learned a lot as a team, said Ouinn. Each day we are going to play hard and come out fighting e ' ery-tinie. The Bruins climbed back into tourney contention by eliminating California in the first round by a score of 80-63 and shocking 1 1th ranked Arizona State in the Pac-10 Conference tournament semi-finals in another nail-biter. With 28.9 seconds remaining in that game, Quinn calmly hit two free-throws to lead it by one at 60-59. The Sun Devils would turn the ball over in their next possession to seal the win for the Bruins. UCLA advanced to play Stanford in the Pac-10 Conference Tournament Championship game. In tlie title game, then-I.Uli ranked Cardinals were ahead by as much as 13 before the Bruins, led by the hot-shooting Ouinn, came back strong to force overtime. Ouinn and the Bruins would continue their brilliant play in the extra session, beating last year ' s conference tourney champions 85-76 to secure an automatic bid to the Big Dance.

The BruiiLS again were led by the highly proclaimed triple-threat backcourt of Blue, Ouinn and senior guard Lisa Willis with a combined score of 51 points. Riding a 19-game winning streak, the Falcons could not hold the Bruins ' hot shooting and were ultimately defeated 74-61. This was UCLA ' s first postseason win since 1999 when they defeated Colorado State in the regional semifinals. UCLA advanced to face 4th seeded Purdue in the second round. LICLA led the Boilermakers by four with 7: ' J1 to go, but would go on a shooting slump for the rest of the game. Purdue ' s late game defense would shut out UCLA ' s triple threat, limiting Blue, Quinn and Willis to a combined shooting of 16-49 from the field. UCLA ended their season with a record of 21-1 1. Though UCLA did not make it deep into the tournament, the team felt confident that next season would be even better. The team will be really good next year, said the graduating Blue. They may even be better than this year ' s team.

Daily Bruin. Setting the Bar n_n by John Tang Eric Young The 2006 UCLA Gymnastics Team, led by lone senior and former Olympian Kate Richardson, was in pursuit of winning their fifth championship in se en years. With se en of the tliirteen gymnasts on the team being freshmen, the young squad was ready to take on the challenge. The team started out the season w ith a first-place finish in the Hawaiian Classic in the ever-so-scenic backdrop of Kailua, Hawaii. With sophomore stars Jordan Schwikert and last year ' s NCAA all-around champion Tasha Schwikert leading the way, the Bru ins finished the first meet with an impressi e all-around score of 19. ' 3.775. The following meet was against perennial powerhouse Utah. The Bruins had built their lead to .325 after the third rotation, paced by Richardson ' s all-around score of 39.275. Unfortunately, witli the anticipation of upsetting the second-ranked team in the nation, butterflies kicked in and the Bruins fluttered in the last rotation, allowing Utah to secure the ictory. Though the defeat may have been disheartening to the young Bruins, the experience against a proven team was invaluable. In the next five meets, UCLA defeated Washington, Oregon State, Cal State F illerton and California. Within that stretch, the Bruins had consistent top three all-around performances from Richardson, freshman Melissa Chan, freshman Kristina Comforte and freshmen Ariana Berlin. One of the many highlights for the Bruins was Comforte ' s perfect Yuchenko layout full on the ault to lead the team to a 197. ' )2.5-195.2 ' ictory over Cal State Fidlerton. Comforte ' s rotation was the first perfect score of the season. UCLA ' s hot streak was momentarily stopped in Athens, Georgia when they faced the defending national champions, the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs. The Bruins, who lost both Richardson and Chan to injuries, were at a heavy disad antage and fell to the Bulldogs with the final tally of 197.525 to 195.2. Although hampered by injuries, UCLA still had a chance to finish the season strong. The team has lots of potential and good work ethic inside the gym. [Injuries] happen. But, we ' re handling it really well and [we] are always there for each other, said freshman Alyssa Kitasoe. After the loss, the injury-riddled Bruins boimced back with a strong ictory over Arizona State, Cal State Fullerton and UC Da is, posting a season-best 196.675-team a ' erage.

Photograpri courtesy of Sports ir.formalior,, through the Visiter by Erica Liu The Bruins started their season in top form, garnering nine first-place finishes against UCSB and Oregon State. Junior Katie Arnold placed first three times while senior Kim Vandenberg and sophomore Nicolette Teo had two apiece. Next up, the team divided itself to compete in the Southern Methodist University and the joint USD and UCSD Inviationals. At SMU, Arnold won the 100-meter backstroke and 100-meter butterfly, while Vandenberg broke the meet record for the 200-meter tly. In La Jolla, the Bruin contingent defeated both schools with 10 first-place finishes, with two from junior Jane Imagane. The Bruins continued their domination in the pool by defeating ASU, 193.5 to 105.5. The Bruins snagged 12 of the 16 e ents and swept four e ents, including the 100- meter breaststroke and the ' 200-meter butterfly. Unfortunately, their bid for perfection was interrupted by Arizona, despite a strong showing in the 400-meter medley relay. The Bruins got a rare taste of the intense competition on the national level at the Bulldog inxitational. Placing third behind powerhouses Cal and Georgia, the team boasted three top-three finishes from their relay teams, consisting of Vandenberg, Arnold, junior Amy Thurnian, senior Eileen Seissen and freshman Anna Poteete. After a winter hiatus, the Bruins returned to the water by hosting the University of the Pacific. The Bruins amassed 22 season-best times and recorded 11 incli idual wins, including three from Vandenberg. Most importantly, this meet witnessed the emergence of several new team leaders, including Imagane and Thurman, who both had season-best outings in the 1000 and 50-meter freestyle, respectively. Late in the season, the Bruins hosted Stanford and Cal, with whom UCLA shared a three-way rivalry. They upset No.3 Stanford, an immensely storied and successful team, w inning 10 out of 16 and breaking 3 meet records. However, for a fourth-straight year, the Lady Bruins were unable to overcome the Golden Bears, as the decision came down to an agonizing 0.47 seconds in the final relay. In their final home meet of the season, the team looked ready to trounce the Trojans, but the victory was ultimately claimed by the loathed cross-town ri ' als in a 177-123 upset. My favorite part of this season has been everybody ' s willingness to work hard and yet have fun and enjoy the moment, contributed Vandenberg, I ' m going to miss our meets. ..and all the excitement that comes along with being at our homepool. ' With a second-pace finish at the Pac-10 Championships and ten qualifiers for the NCAA Championships, the team was poised to make its mark heading into the post-season. ' We have a good team that is e ol ing into a great team, affirmed Head Coach Cyndi Gallagher. The season has progressed as planned [and] we ' ve improved with every meet. If the experience and talent that had carried them thus far held out, their post-season performance could ' e only taken them to greater heights and cemented their place in the upper echelons of college swimming. | • f r I ' Left: In anticipation of ttie next race, freshman Kristen Fischer adjusts her goggles slightly as she prepares for her swim.

The UCLA Swimming and Di ing Team leapt, twisted and flipped its way toward a number-seven ranking by mid- March. By then, the Bruins had qualified to compete in the NCAA Zone E Championships in Oklahoma City, OK. There, freshman Marisa Samaniego qualified for a trip to compete in the NCAA Swim and Dive Championships in Athens, Georgia. Samaniego was one of four freshman to join the team this past season. This year, we really had a great dj ' namic going with the foiu- new freshman. All of us girls fwere]] really close and it ' s a small team so its fwasj fun and beneficial that e eryone [got]] along so well, stated di er Amanda Blong. While Samaniego was the only Bruin to come out of Oklahoma City with an NCAA bid, the performances of her teammates, juniors Sara Clark and fellow freshman Tess Schofiekl, earned the di ing tandem a pair of alternate bids. Schofield placed third in the competition with a score of 488.60. From the beginning of the diving season, Samaniego quickly established herself as one of the team ' s big stars. Early in the season, Samaniego emerged as one of the team ' s best divers with her impressive showing in the Trojan Invitational. Samaniego was the only Bruin to advance to the one-meter di e finals with her fourth-place finish in the preliminaries. The Altadena natixe followed up her stellar one-meter dive with a second- place finish in the three-meter dive. After the Zone E Championships in early March, Samaniego accompanied the swim team to the NCAA Championships, where her di e of 222.0 gave her the 38th best score in the nation. During the second day of competition, the freshman ' s strong Three-Meter dive earned her a 248.10 score from the judges, the 32nd-best score of the competition. Her clinch performances were one of the confidence boosters that the team needed to continue its success throughout the rest of the season. The team continued to show great promise and great motixation in each of their extents. ■While the Bruins had to xvork hard to do as xvell as they did, there xvere some perks to the job. Blong explained that it [was]] also cool that we got to stay tan all year round ex-en if it [wasj a one piece tan! Perfect tans aside, the talented Bruin dixers had another successful campaign as 50% of the accomplished UCLA Swim and Dixe Team.

Though their season was plagued with inconsistency, the UCLA men ' s olleyball team persisted in stri ing for the excellence that everyone had come to expect of them. After a three-year hiatus, the Bruins returned to compete in the Outrigger Inxitational at the University of Hawaii, one of the most prestigious tournaments in men ' s olleyball. After a bad loss to Ohio State in the first round, the Bruins came back in a big way by upsetting Hawaii in an exciting showdown. In addition to being incensed by this historic ri alrv. the Bruins were carried by seniors Da id Russell and Nick Scheftic, who registered 14 and 17 kills, respecti ' el3 ' . The Bruins immediately went on to host powerhouse BYU. The Bruins fell short in the first match, but were able to regroup for a five-game win. The Bruin defense notably held the Cougars to a puny .032 hitting percentage while junior Paul George led the Bruins with a hefty .417 hitting percentage. The Bruins showed no signs of letting up on their competitive instincts against Cal State Northridge. After winning the first two games, the Matadors hijacked the remaining three games, as the Bruins ' serving suffered and stalled their offense. Having arrived at the midpoint of their season and in danger of not making the playoffs, a sense of urgency propelled the Bruins to a win against Stanford, a sweep against Pacific, and a thorough salting of the UCSC Banana Slugs. Later in the season, the Bruins tra eled to Pepperdine with hopes of avenging last year ' s de%astating loss to the Waves in the championship match. Unfortunately, rexenge was not written in the stars as the ' Waves swept the Bruins in a three-game thriller. The lone bright spot of the match was junior Steve Klosterman ' s career-best 27 kills. About his performance, Klosterman admitted that sometimes it felt like the ball was the size of a basketball and the court was the size of a football field. In the game against UCI, howe er, the Anteaters strategically fed ball after ball to Klosterman and shut down the Bruins 31-29, 30- 27, and 30-23. Instead of licking their wounds, the Bruins returned to dominate over Loyola- Chicago and Lewis University. Most notabl} ' , the Bruins were able to hold Lewis to .000 in the second game. At UCLA ' s annual Kilgour Cup, the Bruins lagged in the first two games against the Trojans, but came back for an emotional and hard-fought fi e-game ictory. Against Long storv continued on page 242... K r T ...story continued from page 241 . Beach State, the Bruins successfully broke their three- match losing streak to the Beach. The win was mostly attributed to the Bruins ' season-high hitting percentage of .424 and its serving, with Scheftic contributing three consecutive aces and Russell donating two. While this squad was forced to rebuild almost completely from the ground up, the unexpected poise of heralded freshman Sean O ' Malley and Klosterman contributed greatly to the young team ' s efforts. Freshman Matt Wade filled in admirably for starting setter Dennis Gonzalez after he was sidelined due to injuries. Even though there weren ' t as many wins as in past years, reflected Scheftic, the experience we ' ve had as a close-knit team is unforgettable. Filling the sneakers of a championship-worthy team is never an easy task, but this year, the Bruins displayed streaks of brilliance that suggested that the team was well on its way to returning to championship glory. Above: Junior opposite Steve Klosterman follows through after spiking the ball over the opposing team, Loyola-Chicago.

Head Coach Andy Banachowski knew he iiad a young team awaiting him for tlie 2005 season. With the departure of five dominating seniors, Coach Banachowski had seven freshmen eager to fill the spots left open by the departures. Despite the effort put in by the team, their inexperience could be seen through their struggles during the first half of the season, as the squad lost against every ranked team they faced. Unfortunately, with only one senior, Nancy Barba, and injuries plaguing the team, pressure for junior Captain Colby Lyman and the freshmen to improve their play increased. Howe er, the scene was set for an impressive comeback; a comeback that was possible due to notewortiiy contributions from freshman outside hitter Kaitlin Sather, freshman setter Nellie Spicer, freshman outside hitter Jordan Smith, junior middle blocker Nana Merriwether and sophomore outside hitter Radell Johnson. In dramatic fashion, the Bruins recorded their first victory o •er a ranked team, in Pauley Pavilion, against the previously undefeated Washington Huskies. The Bruins clinched the first two games 34-32 and 30-27, but failed to hold on to a 16-9 lead in the third game, resulting in a 30-28 and 30-25 defeat in the third and fourth games. In a heart-pounding fifth game, the Bruins were down -i-O until junior middle blocker Katie Carter ' s kill ga e birth to a heated battle for the final win. The Bruins never led until they fought back to an 11-11 score, where they took a one point lead after a decisi e kill by Johnson. From that point on, the Bruins held on to defeat tlie Huskies. The victory over the second-ranked Huskies provided a handful of impressive statistics for the unproven team. Merriwether tied a school record with her 17-block performance, Spicer registered a career-high 71 assists, and Smith, Carter and Johnson all recorded double-digit assists as noteworthy performances gave breath to the Bruins ' winning campaign. The victory also marked Coach Banachowski ' s 1,000th win.

Early in the year, junior Benjamin Kohlloeffel became the first Bruin in history to win the IFA Indoor Championships. Tiie Bruins then split their squad to compete simultaneously in the National Collegiate Tennis Classic and the Sherwood Collegiate Cup. At the Sherwood Cup, sophomore Mathieu Dehaine pulled an upset over Baylor ' s top-seeded Lars Poerschke in a grueling quarterfinals match, but was unable to carry his success in the finals. At the NCTC, Kohlloeffel registered his third consecutive singles title, defeating Pepperdine ' s Scott Doerner. The defending national ciiampions officially opened season with decisive victories against Boise State and BYU, but was upset by Stanford, wlio snapped their iL ' -match wining streak. One of the most anticipated match-ups came against No. 4 Pepperdine, when tiie Bruins ' 28 home-game streak was dismantled by the ' Waxes. E en though the ' Waves clinched the doubles point, the Bruins were able to claw their way back with pivotal victories by Kohlloeffel and freshman Michael Look before the letdown on the number three court. In the cross-town showdown against USC, there was more at stake than school pride. The two teams were responsible for two of the last four NCAA championships and split their meetings last season. The match ultimately came down to the number two court, where freshman Haythem Abid was able to put away the ictory 7-6(4), 7-6(5). In one of the biggest college ri alries in the nation, the Bruins prepared to face a decorated Baylor squad. The Bruins upset Baylor last year to win the national championsiiip in an intense game, w iiile the year before, Baylor upset the Bruins. On the courts, Dehaine and Kohlloeffel finished their matches with 6-3, 6-4 victories, but a quick surge by Baylor put the Bruins at a 3-2 disadvantage. All eyes were on junior Chris Surapol, whose three-set win ultimately pushed the heated match into doubles play. One ictory apiece once again put the pressure on Dehaine and junior Aaron Yoxan, who lost a hard-fought battle that ga e Baylor the oxerall ictory. However, the Bruins recovered witli a crucial upset over No. 3 Duke, 6-1. The triinnph as especially sweet for Kohlloeffel, who defeated 4th-ranked Ludoxic ' Walter on the No. 1 court. In its Pac-10 openers, UCLA garnered easy victories over the Arizona schools, including a 7-0 oxer Arizona. Folloxving his performance there, Kohlloeffel became the first Bruin in ten years to secure the No. 1 national ranking. story continued on page 260... ...story continued from page 249. Losing four crucial seniors from last year ' s championship team, this season was characterized by rebuilding and dexeloping its younger talent.

Acing by Ellen Park ' iS%- ' ' As Coach Stella Sampras Webster entered her tenth year at the helm of the women ' s tennis team, the loss of her squad ' s top player cast ominous clouds o er her ability to lead her 3 ' oung, eight-member team back to the national championships. ■With last season ' s top player Daniela Bercek taking her skills to the Duke Blue Devils, the women ' s tennis team lost not only its top singles player, but also an integral contributor to the squad ' s success in doubles competition. However, the departure of one of its veterans set the stage for sophomore phenomenon Riza Zalameda to replace Bercek atop the depth chart and guide the squad back to the NCAA championships. Zalameda was no stranger to performing masterfully under pressure. With a number of respected tennis aficionados scrutinizing her every move, the freshman hushed a maddened crowd with her impressi e semifinal run in last season ' s NCAA singles championships. Expectations were high for the young leader to help keep the untested squad atop the NCAA women ' s tennis rankings. However, the 2006 season would not be etched in time as the reign of Zalameda. Instead, each match was a stage for the young team to showcase its depth, evidenced by the improved play of Laura Gordon and clinch performances by junior Alex McGoodwin and sophomore Elizabeth Lumpkin. In the season opener against Lo ' ola Marymount, Gordon, the team ' s lone senior, established her position in the number two spot behind Zalameda; howe er, after Zalameda was deactivated from play due to a mid-season ankle injury, Gordon became the team ' s go-to player. The accompanying pressure of this position didn ' t unner e the experienced senior as she led the team to a sweep of the Washington schools.. McGoodwin and Lumpkin also came through in opportune moments, highlighted by an upset of Cal where Lumpkin broke a 3-3 tie by winning her match in an enthralling three-set match. The team was cheering for her ...with real enthusiasm, saying things like ' We believe in you Liz, and ' You own this court! exclaimed junior Amber Ray. Those cheers really meant something to her. The win over Cal proxided a tourniquet for the Bruins, who were coming off of a disheartening 4-3 loss against Pepperdine and being blanked by Stanford, 6-0. The quick maturation of her young roster pro ided Coach Sampras Webster witii the most difficult coaching decision for the season: the struggle to finalize her lineup. Throughout the season.

With the Zalameda ' s recuperation, the Bruins not only continued to be competitixe in the Pac-10 but also remained undefeated in the conference for the majority of the season. With another state sweep, this time, of the Arizona schools, the Bruins ' growing confidence was essential in avenging an early-season loss against Stanford. The match ups against the Cardinals were crucial as Stanford was to ha e home-court advantage throughout the NCAA championsiiips in late May.

Photographed by Hudson Hou, Daily Bruin, of geti Ow by Thanh Mai With an infusion of young talent and newly hired assistant coach Gus Montano, the men ' s golf team deli ered a season performance worthy of one of the nation ' s elite programs. Despite a lack of senior leadership, the team was far from lacking in exemplary feats as the Bruins lit up the tournament scoreboards with nine tournament wins by early April. After a blistering array of tournament victories including the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate Championship, the Braveheart Classic, the Battle of Monarch Bay and the UCLA-hosted Corde Valle Collegiate, the Bruins rose to a fifth national ranking as well as earning several players national recognition. Freshman Erik Flores developed into the Bruin ' s top player with the highest scoring a erage, climbing as high as tenth in the national rankings. In fi e out of his first eight tournament appearances, he consistently scored in the top fi e in each of them. Sophomore Daniel Im was ranked in the top twenty, who led the team in various statistical categories. But Flores and Im were not the only individuals to earn accolades; freshman Lucas Lee also claimed a pair of tournament victories. Sophomore Craig Leslie won the Pala Mesa Invitational where the Bruins took first place honors and Junior Christ Heintz won his first collegiate title at the Braveheart Classic to add to the growing stack of Bruin boasts. Now that r e had the experience of winning, I want to do it again, Heintz said an interview with the Daily Bruin. It ' s like a disease - now that I ' xe won, I want to keep winning. And with the team ' s unrelenting work ethic and workout regimen, there appears to be no end to this winning disease which as afflicted many team members, perhaps chronically. The thing I like about the team is that the more they win, the harder they work, coach O.D. Vincent said in an interxiew with the Daily Bruin. ... We have had so much success. With the maturation of a NCAA championship-caliber team in progress, UCLA certainly looks promising this year and beyond. None of the members of the current team are graduating this year, lea ing a team with much more experience ready escalate their level of play in seasons to come. Fortunately, no cure appears in store for the Bruin winning disease. I Front Row: James Lee, Erik Floras, Joakim Renstrom. Daniel Im, Matt Marshall and Lucas Lee.

While the team recorded a number of impressive wins, its inconsistency led to numerous, gut-wrenching losses as well. In the beginning of the season, the Bruins experienced a bad case of growing pains as they shot well over par in its early outings. However, the Bruins began to turn things around at Stanford, when the team scored one under par for the first time of the season. At the UNLV Rebel Invitational in November, the Bruins continued to master the greens by setting a team scoring record of 9-under pan Their unprecedented performance in Las Vegas lifted the squad past the Rebels and built momentum for the remainder of the season. However, instead of continuing their high-caliber play, many flops and defeats followed the victory at Las Vegas. The team finished sixth in tiie Regional Challenge in Palos Verdes and tied for third in the Wildcat In itational. Competing without junior Hannah Jun left a sour aftertaste for the struggling team; however, a change of scenery provided the Bruins with a crucial mid-season victory. South of the border at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, the Bruins captured their third ictory of the season at the picturesque Guadalajara Country Club. They beat USC by a decisive 7-stroke margin and finished 10 strokes ahead of third place Duke. Both the Trojans and the Blue Devils came into the Ochoa Invitational as two of the top teams in the nation. Howe er, the undaunted Bruins played with confidence and poise against these two golfing powerhouses. Freshman Jane Park led the way to victory with an o erall second- place finish while Tiffany Joh and Amie Cochran placed third and fiifth, respectively. UCLA finished second at the 2005 NCAA Championship after winning both the NCAA West Regional and the Pac-10 Championship. The 2006 season started out rough especially without Hannah QJun]]. We grew as a team and we won in Mexico so our post season is looking really promising. We are hoping to win NCAA so it will be a storybook ending for us said Amie Cochran. As inconsistency plagued the team throughout the course of the season, the team attempted to mend its struggles by shuffling its roster and establishing new leaders. Nevertheless, the Bruins still had an enjoyable season, filled with excitement, a few bitter defeats, and a handful of pi ' otal wins. k JiINK 1 Below: Freshman high jumper Luke Barr awaits a soft landing after successfully clearing the bar.

In its first meet in the Husky In itational at Seattle, the 4x400-meter relay team ran a solid time of 3:08:84 seconds to win the event. The team, which featm-ed tlie talents of underclassmen and veterans, alike, stepped up its game as every leg was run under 48 seconds. UCLA picked up three NCAA provisional qualifying marks through senior Craig E ' erhart ' s victory in the 400 meters at a time of 47:04 and senior Erick Emilsson sixth-place finish in the mile run with a time of 4:03.76. With these impressive strides, the season was off to an incredible start. Sprinters Exerhart, freshman Elijah Wells, sophomore junior James Rhoades, and Brandon Johnson, collecti ely known as the lightning-quick members of the 4x400 relay team were the stars of the track team. With E erhart and Johnson achieving Ail-American distinctions for their ' 2003 efforts, these sprinters accounted for many of the team ' s ictories and successes. Johnson ' s 400-meter time of 46.40 was the fifth quickest in the nation. In March, they became the third-fastest relay team in the country and by June they were at the top of their game. Their quick start at the beginning of the season made Coach Tony Veney very optimistic about the team ' s potential dominance in the pivotal outdoor season. However, to his disappointment, the men ' s track team flopped at the NCAA championships. UCLA scored just two points as the athletes all performed well below expectations. At the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas, sophomore shot-putter John Caulfield was the only representati ' e for the Bruins in the field events. With a record of 62-5, he came into the championships as the 10th best shot-putter in the nation with aspirations to place in the top eight; however, he came up two feet short of his season ' s best and placed llth in the event. The mile relay team came in seventh overall with a time of 3:08.39. But despite this shortcoming, the team ' s performance was good enough to receive AIl-American honors. Many athletes on the team concentrated exclusively on the outdoor season. Senior Martell Munguia, UCLA ' s top 800-meter runner, did not compete until the outdoor season and freshman Ke in Craddok had to wait until he was in top form to be cleared for competition. Before coming to L ' CLA, Craddok had been inacti e for a year due to a serious hamstring injury. story continued on page 262... ...story continued from page 261. With a whopping score of ' 246.50 points, the Bruins dominated their competition at the Cal Nevada Championships at Fresno State. UCLA swept the top three spots in the discus, in addition to freshman Boldizsar Kocsor first-place hammer throw. UCLA reached for the stars as sophomore Dominque Easterling leaped to the second-best mark in the nation, while junior Mike Landers contributed to the Bruins ' win by taking top honors in the pole vault competition. Freshman Ke in Craddock finished second in the 400-meter hurdles. Though the team was met with defeats in the indoor season, the important outdoor season in igorated the Bruins, as the Men ' s Track and Field team enjoyed to another successful year. | Above: Sophomore thrower Greg Garza prepares to pierce the sky with a swift thrust of his arm.

The UCLA women ' s track team was one of the top competitors this past year. In one of the first out-door competitions this past season, the Bruins took the top spots in several of the individual competitions. Senior pole-vaulter Chelsea Johnson took first place for her extraordinary pole vault. At the NCAA Indoor championships, she won the individual pole vault title with a school record ault of 14-9. She went into the competition holding tiie number one mark in the nation for indoor collegiate pole vaulting and walked away from the competition with the best marks for her outdoor jump. Her teammates Jenna Timinsky and Alice Bohannon took first and second place in the 800m at this UCLA Invitational as well. For the shorter distance runners, senior Dawn Harper took first-place in the 100m and e en achieved a lifetime best running time of 11.83. The women, who make up the track and field team, were very passionate about their sport. Sophomore jumper Nicole Duhart, a psychology and philosophy student, stated that when I am on the field, all my worries disappear and I focus on what I truly love. Her love for the sport was also shared by her teammates, senior hurdler Dawn Harper and senior pole ault specialist Chelsea Joimson, both who picked up Ail-American honors at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas. While the ladies competed in indixidual e ents, they were equally essential in contributing to the team ' s overall showing to the final team score as well. Sophomore pole aulter Nicci Faires explained, You try to do your personal best, but you also ha ' e so many others [on the teanf] that support you and who you support during their e ents. In late March, the team divided itself to simultaneously compete in the Cal Nevada Championships and the Stanford Invitational. In the Cal Nevada championships, the Bruins blew their competition away by placing first in the high jump, pole ault, long jump, discus, jaxelin throw, SOO-meter, 1500-meter, 100-meter hurdles, 4xlOO-meter and the 4-400 meter relays.

K Ahead by Katherine Terkanian Waking up at the crack of dawn, running up and down an endless flight of stairs, and hauling boats down to the water ma} ' not sound too appealing to most UCLA students, but to a rower, it was a way of life. Hard work was not foreign to these women. I ' m in the best shape of my life and I got there in a really hard-core way! junior port Brittany Merchant said with a laugh. Rowing was a physically demanding sport that required discipline, stamina and a competitive spirit. Rowing at UCLA is a challenge. ..we ' re constantly competing against each other for spots in Tthel boats, but it bonds us because we all know that we ' re pulling for each other and trying to make our team better. The team ' s cohesion was certainly evident by its success. Despite losing eight seniors last year, the Bruins utilized this season as a way to hush critics who were convinced that these departures would faze the team. The freshmen did a great job maintaining the momentum from the previous season, when the Bruins were ranked as high as 15th in the nation. This year, the rowing team attempted to work off their strength and determination from the previous 3 ' ear to impro e upon their ranking, in hopes to bring a national championship to ' Westwood. This year began with an intra-squad competition in celebration of parent alumni day. The rowing team divided itself according to class standing as the squad consisting of seniors and sophomores barely out-rowed a boat of juniors, with the freshmen A and B teams following close behind. Some of the Bruin alumni took to the water for the first time in years to compete against the varsity eight, who claimed a victory o er the graduates. The Bruins opened the regular season in spectacular fashion, sweeping their rivals, the Loyola Marymount Lions, in the three categories and bringing home the Karen Hock-Hjelm Cup for the fourth year in a row. Fierce headwind and incoming tide proved to be non-factors in the meet against UCL in which the Bruins once against swept all of the events with its five boat entrants. At the San Diego Crew Classic, all three Bruin boats qualified for the Grand Finals by capturing Top 3 finishes in their respecti e heats. The crew worked hard under the direction of their coach, Amy Fuller Kearney, who returned to UCLA for her fifth year. The relationships formed o -er course of the season remained strong and withstood the tests of intense competition. When asked what it was like to be part of the team, freshman Bree Hemingway replied, We ' re all getting along really well. Freshman Megan Lightfoot corroborated by saying, Rowing has been a learning experience. I really like it. It ' s an interesting way of being part of the UCLA community. J .-= Diamonds in tiie Coming off one of its worst seasons in program history, the 2006 UCLA baseball team attempted to erase the memories of a seemingly endless 19-game losing streak and a paltry 15-49 record during the 2005 season. Coach John Savage ' s young, but talented squad ied to reestablish itself as a competitive threat within the NCAA behind some stellar pitching and a propensity to hit the long ball. Our goal is to do better than last year and just show everyone that we ' re not as bad as last year and not the eighth best team in the conference, stated junior pitcher Da id Huff in an interview with The Daily Bruin. In just his second year at the helm of a rebuilding squad. Savage managed to attract the fifth best recruiting class in the nation, gi ing hope to a possible re italization of the program. The Bruins ushered in their 2006 campaign with one of the toughest schedules in the nation, beginning with match ups against the Fresno State Bulldogs and perennial baseball power, Miami. While the squad showed signs of growing pains within the first two games against the Bulldogs, the final game of the three game series provided a taste of the team ' s potential, as a handful of first-year players contributed to the Bruins ' 12-2 trouncing of Fresno State. Junior Tyson Brummett, a transfer from Central Arizona Community College, struck out 8 batters and ga e up only two runs o er 7 full innings of pitching. Catcher Ryan Babineau and shortstop Brandon Crawford lead the freshmen ' s efforts with a home run from Babineau in the second inning and Crawford ' s three RBIs. In their series against Miami, the Bruins were tested on the mound as junior pitcher Hector Ambriz was pitted up against the Hurricanes ' ace Carlos Guttierez . Guttieriez won the pitching duel as inexperience proved to be a factor in the Bruins 3-1 loss in the series opener. However, the Bruins bounced back in next game behind the bats of Babineau and freshman center fielder Tim Murphy. Within the next few weeks, the Bruins were pitted against some of the top teams in the nation, including 2004 national champion Cal State Fullerton and 9 Pepperdine. While the Bruins were unable to come out of Fullerton with a win, the lessons learned from competing against the Titans were useful in a four-game road trip that included a win over Long Beach State and a three-game sweep of 17 North Carolina State.

Sliding LTU by aien Park After saying goodbye to only one player due to graduation, the UCLA Softball team entered the ' 2006 season with a nearly identical roster and a thirst to avenge an extra-inning loss in last 3 ' ear ' s national title game against Michigan. For the first time in many seasons, Coach Sue Enquist ' s team had the advantage of experience on its side. As a result of their familiarity with each other ' s expertise, the 19- member squad was already a close-knit unit that was prepared to tackle every opponent with unparalleled degrees of unity and proficiency. Our team is so much more bonded and concentrated on winning than ever before, stated sophomore Jennifer Schroeden The Bruins began the season with an offensive statement in San Diego at the Campbell Cartier Tournament as they amassed an unprecedented 35 runs in a double-header In the first game of the tournament against Sacramento State, the Bruins shattered a barrage of single-game records, including a football-like score of 22 runs, 14 walks, and 12 runs scored in the bottom of the fourth inning alone. However, the Bruins displayed their team ' s balance in a 2-1 victory over host San Diego State to close out the tournament. The dual defensive efforts of pitchers Lisa Dodd and Angelica Jelly Selden resulted in 12 combined strikeouts for the talented pitching duo. After losing only once in the next 22 games, the Bruins found themselves on the cusp of a rematch against the Michigan Wolverines. It was great opportunity to play Michigan again, stated junior Tara Henry. It ' s good to have another crack at them and play them at home. The game, which was nationally televised on ESPN 2 and attracted a crowd of o ' er 1,000 spectators, was also an opportunity for the Bruins to finally shut down Michigan first baseman S amantha Findlay, who crushed a two-run home run in the 7th inning to help her team capture the 2005 national championship. With all of our animosity built up, all 19 of us were trying to shut her out, stated Henry. UCLA got off to a promising start after short stop Jodie Legaspi, senior second baseman Caitlin Benyi and junior left fielder Ashley Herrera hit solo home runs throughout the first fi e innings. Howe er, after Michigan ' s Findlay blasted a two-run shot to center tleld, the Bruins found themseh ' es down by one, with their offensi e opportunities dwindling away. In the bottom of the 7th inning, junior designated hitter Whitney Holum connected on her second-career home run, which tied the game, 4-4. This set the scene for sophomore right story contented on page 276...

Despite the squad ' s proficiency in hitting the long ball, Anjelica Selden ' s consistency on the mound displayed the importance of a stealthy defense in winning games. In just her second season with the Bruins, Selden recorded her 700th career strikeout by sending Cal ' s Gina Leomiti to the bench in an April 2nd meeting between the two Pac-10 foes. With their well- rounded play and accomplished roster, the Bruins remained one of the top teams in nation in an unprecedented, record-breaking Above: Junior second baseman Ashley Herrera watches the ball sail past the infield after a powerful swing.

ASUCLA Photography. by Christal Thavincher As a constant presence along the sidelines at premier athletic events, the exuberant cheers of a talented group of men and women brought fans to their feet in a display of appreciation and adoration of some of the country ' s top athletes. A group of 37 students, specializing in majors from engineering to world arts and cultures constructed the vastly talented ' 2005-2006 UCLA Spirit Squad. Third-year economics student Scott Nash attested that the best part about being a member of the squad was the abilit} to perform in front of crowds in the thousands, demonstrating your Bruin Pride! We also got a front row seat to our amazing athletic events and became a part of a legacy. Not only did the Cheer and Dance teams help encourage our athletic teams, they also made special appearances at numerous other events, both on campus and in the greater Los Angeles community. The squads frequently recei ed arious opportunities to travel outside the city, as they jet-setted to areas all over the greater North American continent, as well as China. In addition to their supporting duties, the cheer team competed against other cheer squads across the country at various cheerleading exhibitions. Third-year sociology and political science student Vanessa Garcia viewed the duality of the teams as, what got the crowd going during the games and gave us inspiration to cheer our team on! Performing together at numerous events throughout the year strengthened their camaraderie and developed trust in their teammates, trust that was essential to executing all of their mo es effortlessly and with impeccable style. Each endless hour de oted to honing their skills was evident by each series of jaw dropping back flips, masterful pyramids and gravity-defying tosses. Through their unwavering commitment to their sport, it was easy to see how these close- knit groups were able to unite thousands of fans in a massive effort to support our athletes clad in blue and gold.

' :■■ ' •.rp.T., Bleeding and Gold by Ellen Park W ' itliiii the deepest of slumbers, tlie truiiiipliant tune of the UCLA fight song unsettles the ner es and sets the tone for a new day- After a splash of cold water on the face and a few strokes through the hair with a comb, the preparation for a new day is almost complete. A UCLx duffle bag sits beside the bed, waiting to be filled with essential items for the day: an economics textbook, a course reader for Philosophy 7, a bottle of water, and - a massive polyester bear head? Such is the life for a UCLA mascot, the master of a dual lifestyle of full-time student and part-time cheerleading bear. Over the years, Joe and Josephine Bruin have become the equi alent of Mickey and Minnie Mouse at UCLA as the cheerful ' animifications ' of school spirit and pride. As they danced the night away alongside the rest of the UCLA Spirit Squad, they continuously managed to bring smiles upon ferocious crowds aching for another win. In addition to their game duties, they also were great photo opportunities for any member of the community to commemorate their time with a alid LICLA icon. In addition to the Cheer Team, Dance Team and the mascots, the Yell Crew roiuiiled out the four-way partnership of the L ' CLA Spirit Squad. Junior Andrew Green took on the role as Brigadier General for the six-member Yell Crew, best known for synchronizing massive crowds of Bruin fans in a raucous Bruin spell out. Through their large white cones, the yell crew shouted to the heavens to incense students and alumni, alike, in a verbal support of UCLA ' s arious athletic teams. However, being one of the few members of the Yell Crew also came with its advantages. Participating in Yell Crew exposed me to the greatest aspects of school spirit attested sophomore Kareem Hammad. All of our athletic teams were incredible this year, and I was thrilled to be a part of the pride, tradition, and excitement. While being a constant presence at athletic events was a pleasure for the members of Yell Crew and the Mascots, these students helped to maintain the tradition of exceptional support that has defined UCLA fans throughout UCLA ' s rich history within the NCAA.

The Solid Gold Sound of the UCLA Marching Band reverberated through each gate of the massive stadium, bringing thousands of cheering fans to their feet. From the pre- game show featuring the George Gershwin inspired hit, Strike up the Band for UCLA, to the triumphant sounds of Mighty Bruins, and our alma mater, Hail to the Hills of Westwood, the band rang loud and true as a sound of endearment to students and alumni. Led by Director Gordon Henderson and Drum Majors Reesa Jones and Daniel Thomson, the marching band flawlessly played its tunes while marching across the field to form the cursi e letters of UCLA during every pre-game show and creating moving shapes during halftime performances. This season ' s shows included a tribute to the music of Queen, which featured sucli hits as Bicycle Race, We Will Rock You, and the crowd favorite, Bohemian Rhapsody . Diana Brugman, a 4th year chemistry student, loved playing this show. Performing in the Oueen show and playing music we really liked helped us to appreciate what we were playing, making the show more fun! said the alto saxophonist. This year, as always, the marching band had a Band Day show, in which they invited several high school bands from across the Southern Californian area to accompany them on the field. The final home game against Arizona State featured a show infused with patriotism in honor of Veterans ' Day, In addition to its musical prowess, the marching band also featured the talents of student juggler Chris Smith. Fans couldn ' t help but to be drawn to Smith ' s magnificent hand-eye coordination as his throwing and catching routine of numerous gold balls wowed halftime audiences of all ages. Smith gave credit to the marching band for pro% ' iding him with a platform to exert his entertainer within. Without the band I would ha e been some awkward lanky guy throwing things and catching them again, attested Smith. What an honor it was to be out there as ' the juggler ' with these guys! The student members, both new and returning, saw the marching band as an exciting and unique part of the UCLA experience. Marching Band had been an important part of my life ever since high school and I really loved story continued on page 285..

UCLA athletic tradition UCLA has a history of athletic excellence unrivaled by any other unixersity in the nation. 0 er 10,000 past and present student athletes contributed to the continuing athletic and academic success for which UCLA has earned world renown. UCLA led the nation with 97 NCAA team championships and 118 total national championships in sports ranging from football to gymnastics. Included among these were 10 basketball national championships won under legendary coach John Wooden and IS men ' s ' olleyball championships under current head coach Al Scates. The Bruins ' athletic success extended well beyond the collegiate field, as UCLA has produced more Olympic athletes than any other school in the country. Bruin Olympians have won 195 medals in Olympic competition: 98 of them gold. Many UCLA athletes, including recent NFL Hall of Fame inductee Troy Aikman, continued their collegiate success and led exemplary professional careers. One of the central ideals upon which the UCLA athletics program was built was that being an outstanding indi idual preceded being an outstanding athlete. The comprehensive excellence reflected in UCLA ' s 97 NCAA titles was consistent with the breadth of UCLA ' s academic distinction, acknowledged Chancellor Albert Carnesale. ' As a result, UCLA student-athletes exemplied the very best as students and as athletes. Such high standards of learning and research, combined with the discipline and morals achieved through athletics, prepared student athletes for life after college. There was no greater advocate of this principle than Coach John Wooden, who used it to build championship teams year after year in the 1950s and 1960s. What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player, Wooden said. Since its founding in 1919, UCLA has produced 91 Academic All Americans and boasts a 73% student athlete graduation rate, the third-best in the Pac-10 conference. Former athletes showed their dedication to the UCLA community by attending Bruin home games and sharing their experiences as an athlete with current players. Having an active student athlete graduate community allowed current student athletes to have a strong understanding of the rich tradition of UCLA sports while they continued to add to its legacy with their accomplishments throughout their career. | by Benjamin Yim 296 j i, jcs Left; Legendafy basketball coach )ohn Wooden intently watches one of his championship basketball teams.

Was it truly four years ago when you walked hesitantly into your dorm room, hoping it was not as small as how others described it? Was it only four years ago when you sat on your bed, twiddling your thumbs, wondering what to do with your spare time? Was it merely four years ago when you left the comforts of urban sprawl that is Los Angeles? Now that you have grown from the naive freshman to the experienced senior, you can look back on those four years with a sense of accomplishment. Take with you the confidence that you have cultivated in these four years. The world is only one step away. ■Mil graduationward looking to the future The robe was a bit heavy and the cap felt a little foreign resting on your head, but these last few days were the time to relish in the fact that you had made it. Hundreds of blue books, all-nighters and midnight snacks later, you found yourself poised to embrace the world outside UCLA. All around, your friends took a stroll down memory lane reminiscing about the endless memories made in these past few years. All around, your friends were making plans for that next great big step out of cherished and comfortable UCLA. For those making that final triumphant walk adorned in their finest robes, freshman year oddly felt like it iiappened just yesterday. I think things went by in a glance; I look back and I still remember the day I started at UCLA. I felt that the quarter system just made things pass by really quickly and all of a sudden the ten weeks flew by. Then there was the pile of work that made it seem like you didn ' t have enough time for anything! said fourth-year applied mathematics student Mindy Liao. Even though maturing and learning from your past experiences could be both painful and glorious, it was those experiences that remained key for your future successes. That meant taking not only what you learned inside the classroom, but also what you learned from your peers and other members of the UCLA community and applying that knowledge to situations you may come across later in life. For no matter what you did and where you went, you would always be a Bruin at heart. You couldn ' t fight it or deny it. UCLA was now a part of you, hammered into you with every painstaking hour spent studying for those tests, every tiring hour at practice before a big game, every tearful hour spent helping a friend in need, and every joyous hour spent sharing inside jokes with your roommates. Your journey may be coming to an end, but you will always take a piece of UCLA with you -including an aversion toward all things red. Graduation time was synonymous with moving on and focusing on the here and now, as well as whatever the future could bring. Fourth-year economics student Michael Yee put it best when he said, After some 17 continuous years of institutional education, you would think this whole learning thing would finally end already. Alas, this is only the beginning of one enormous lesson in life that only the real world can teach us. I look back in amazement, yet I look forward in complete wonder With a valuable UCLA degree in your hand, your options were endless, from continuing your education in graduate school or entering the work force. Leaving UCLA as a more educated and accomplished person, it was up to you, and only you, to decide where to go and what to do.

Hoshaw was driven by her mantra of ' thinking big. ' An adventurer, an advisor, a counselor, a tutor and a writer were just a few of the identities that were products of this mentality. In the midst of fulfilling all these roles, Hoshaw succeeded in maintaining a 3.86 GPA while analyzing English literature and creating works of her own. Hoshaw ' s athleticism, scholarship and volunteer work contributed to her distinction as one of the eight UCLA students to receive the honor of being a BruinLife Senior of the Year. As a guide for Outdoor Adventures, she led groups of students on hiking, kayaking and backpacking excursions all over southern California. While she de ' eloped strong bonds with her fellow leaders, she also learned valuable outdoor survival skills to help people avoid danger when participating in extreme sports. Her athletic accomplishments also include her player of the year award for her outstanding performance in the Bruin Strokes Tennis League. Additionally, she tested her athletic abilities by participating in the 2006 Los Angeles Marathon. Hoshaw was equally as accomplished in the academic world. Hoshaw was awarded with the best fictional short story distinction from the May Merrill Miller Foundation. When she was not writing fiction, she invested much of her time writing her undergraduate thesis, which addressed the ways in which C.S. Lewis ' Chronicle of Narnia series reflected shifting notions of femininity in traditional British society, a topic that astutely incorporated her minor of women ' s studies. Despite the fact that Hoshaw received a generous grant from the Undergraduate Research Center to fund her project, Hoshaw retained her humility. Even with all of her other noteworthy accomplishments, Hoshaw still found time to t a € 310 I senior of the year contribute to her community. She has worked extensively with battered women and shelter administrators to end gender violence as a volunteer with Project MAC. In her senior year, Hoshaw continued her activism through an internship with A Window Between Worlds, a non- profit organization teaching leaders of domestic violence shelters how to use art as a tool for healing. As a result of her involvement with these local organizations, Hoshaw became inspired to expand her humanitarianism internationally to help survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking through education and occupation. Next year, Hoshaw will serve as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar in India, where she will learn tactics to help survivors of abuse to find jobs that will facilitate their mental and physical recuperation. With a passion to seek empowerment for neglected demographics, Hoshaw will continue to utilize her strengths in her future philanthropic efforts. | inrernationptl waAei i indm ' ' ?? }ki bpf-TATppn vtfnrlds - I Christine Chang Psychology Corey Ann Chang French and Francophone Studies Studies in Literature and Culture Janet Chang Sociology Jenny Chang International Development Studies 3l2!graduates Tx.

As a Regents Scholar, she expanded her membership in the Regents Scholar Society through her position as an executive board member for the organization ' s outreach and educational programs, as well as editing the organization ' s newsletter. She has received multiple Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology aw ards for her work in the t ield and has e eii served as a panelist at UCLA ' s Parent Weekend. During her second year, Liu assumed the role as a Student Health Advocate, where she helped to foster leadership skills and spread health knowledge to the residents. As a SHA, Liu ' s responsibilities entailed providing aid and educating students of pertinent health issues. Liu quickly climbed the SHA ladder to assume the position as clinical director of the program. As a result of her SHA duties, Liu strengthened the connection between herself and her peers. Liu particuarly benefited ti ' om opjiortumties foi- undergradute research at UCLA. She worked closely w itii Dr. Harumi Kasamatsu on his Simian ' Virus 40 research, a topic which was the focus of her senior thesis. [[She is]] competent, hard-working, and responsible, commented Dr. Kasamatsu, routinely devoting more hours than required by the research programs and occasional weekend time in order to do a thorough job on her experiments. Her trustworthy data have a potential to shed light on the way the capsid protein of the DNA tumor ' irus folds. She ' s even a publishetl first author of a review. In atldition to her MCD Biology studies, Liu undertook the mastery of a completely different field, the survey of French and Francophone Studies to round out her academic tandem. Liu capitalized upon UCLA ' s encouragement of students to pursue a wide range of studies, especially because of the difficulty of do so in specialized graduate programs. Even though Liu adopted the study of two unrelated fields, she was successful in maintaining a 3.909 GPA. Liu strove to spread the wealth of her knowledge by helping new students get acclimated to their new environment. Liu ' s efforts culminated in the founding USAC Freshman Transfer Advisory Council Project, which, in future years, will provide programs for new students to help them to become aware of the possibilities offered at UCLA and help them discover their interests. There are so many things going on here that I think it ' s easier than at a small school to find your niche and create a unique niche for yourself It ' s the most alive, vibrant school I know. Being a Bruin is one of Liu ' s proudest attributes. I really like UCLA because of the people, she said, remarking that she has met some of her best friends in the past four years. The beauty of the campus served as a constant reminder of how lucky she felt to attend a university with such boundless opportunities. | story by kutlierinc leiiciniaii, photiigraphy byjasnu i iiiku. design by sunmin kim.

The loss of a fellow student was devastating to everyone. She recognized that the residential community needed a strong leader to hold the floor together. As a SUA, Lisa helped other students and her friends cope with tiie pain and sadness. It was during this period of time that Miyake truly learned tiiat life is about more than just academics. I learned the importance of simply being there for others... I did everything I could as a SUA and as a frientl. Miyake ' s great passion to iielp others made iier stand out from the field of over 4,()()() distinguislied seniors at UCLA. Serving as RA this year on tiie ninth floor of Dykstra Hall, Miyake never failed to help those in need, whether it was assisting underclassmen in selecting their courses or with questions about life in general. Her long-term goal is to, someday, instill positive change in society, and she has already started that path by helping those aroimd her Miyake, while writing a feature article for her high school joiu-nalism class on Japanese American internment, decided at an early age that she would devote her efforts in raising etjuality for Asian Americans. Her involvement inclutled conducting research on the subject matter for I ' rofessor Henry Yu, as well as an internship tor Leadership Education for Asian Pacifies. Yet her desire to create positive change was not limiteil to the Asian conmumity; she also worked with Resonance and Student Legal Serx ' ices to enhance the greater Los Angeles community. As a dual conmumication studies and Asian American stuihes student, this energetic young Bruin also possesses the intellectual (lualities tliat make even the brightest minds envious. With a near flawless CJPA of , ' ).. ' )«, Miyake was able to juggle the rigors of jiarticipating in numerous clubs and programs here at UCLA, incluthng serving as the copy editor for Pacific Ties Newsmagazine. Her excellence in academia combined with her noble character truly exemplifies the spirit of the model Bruin. For Lisa Miyake, it is the experience and tutelage she love of heljiing others. In her words, With education comes responsibility, responsibility to affect positive change in the world around you. While she may not know what the future has in store tor her, Lisa Miyake ' s education, noble spirit, and determination will prepare her for whatever endeavors siie may face after her graduation. | sim y hv julin laitij;. h!u ' ii iiii ij ' ii l ' jumii ii uiku, ili ' . ign i ' v lAJ Jij jkO q jt h: j a r ■ ' fS. m O ' :c ' ..one of my grea test personal academic accomplishments at UCLA is that I discovered my passion - a strong desire to effect positive change within minority communities through legal means _ .r -. .. .. «•! ' _ - .s y ji . .

M I For the past four years, Justin Miyamoto has been in -oi ed in a line affair of a clitfrrent iiind. It ' s so intricate and beautiful, the way the body works, re eals Miyamoto. It ' s a miracle, how it regulates and turns enzymes on and off It ' s such a |)erfect system and it ' s amazing to study it. As one of tlie many UCLA students with medical school aspirations, Miyamoto has enjoyeil a connnitted relationship with his biochemistry texts. This dynamic has been so beneficial to Miyamoto ' s academic career that after he takes his final steps as a UCLA student, he will not only ha e a co eted Ijiochemistry degree in his hands, but college honors to tiecorate his already stellar scholastic achievements. At first glance, Miyamoto ;ij)pears to be the archetyjial UCLA pre-metl student, with his nose cranmied in his physiology texts while interspersing his studies with oluntecr positions at local health facilities. However, underneath the surface of this aspiring doctor lies a profound devotion to the betterment of his community. As a participant in the LICLA Mobile Clinic Program, Miyamoto was forced outside his comfort zones into the battlegrounds of West Hollywood to provitk ' health ser ices to indigent populations. With roots in the conservatixe suburb of ' orl)a Linda, Miyamoto had ne er encountered what he refers to as stigmatized populations; however, over time, Miyamoto ch-ew in.sj)iration from the different personalities he came across, particidarly from his invohement with Chris through the Best Buddies organization. Chris suffered from developmental epiU ' psy, which immobilized him from carrying on simple tasks away from his home. While their visits were intended to |)rf) ide Chris with an escape from his challenging reality, Chris ' s refreshing mentalily was just what Miyamoto needed to relax from the pressures of his demanding schedule. Chris changed my outlook on life, attested Miyamoto. Ever since Tmeeting Chri.x], I sort of ap]ireciated lite. Chris liked to watch air])lanes and he shared with me the peace that comes from watching airplanes soaring abo e you in the night sky. ■ Miyamoto attributes his success to the encomaging people he has met in the past four years. When a fellow Resident Assistant aspired to establish a pre-health fraternity at LICLA, she encouraged Miyamoto to become one of Alpha Lpsilon Delta ' s inau ural members. faculty memf)eis and enjoyed the camaraderie that wouki be essential in bridging the gaps between students pursuing careers in a variety of While college is somelhing 3 ' ou complete, life is .something you experience, phik)sojihizes Miyamoto. Through his conmumity outreach, Miyamoto has driven himself with the motivation to rea]) every possible ijcneflt from his college experience. Theref()re, don ' t worry about the graile, he advises, or the results of your success. Success is defined in countless ways, and we will find it without a grade attached. It will come from our own internal sense of f gratification. J r!f .. f ill ' Ixy ,. UJl lough it sounds cliche, I now believe my life ' s calling is in AIDS activism...

Tiie inter-sorority Volleyball tournament succeeded in raising over .$;2(),()()() tor HookAiti, which magically turned every dollar donated into five dollars worth of books. When Haghuwanshi ' s schedule was not bombarded with plione calls anil visiting potential sites of a future altruistic venture, he worked as an emergency medical technician, student health piiarmacy assistant at the UCLA Arthur Ashe Center and studied cancer as a research assistant. On a more intimate level, Raghuwanshi was on a first-name basis with senior citizens at tlie UCLA Medical Center, where he participated in intense games of Bingo with the patients. Despite displaying his substantial interest in health through his outreach, Raghuwanshi ' s college career was atypical from the many others pursuing a career in medicine. Instead of limiting his studies to deciphering the complexities of the human body, Raghuwanshi reinforced his scientific background by concentrating on the humanitarian aspect of medicine by studying political science and economics. Raghuwanshi pursued a degree in economics after applying his keen ability to transform weaknesses into strengths to himself After foin- years, he succeeded in mastering complex economic policies and tactics despite coming into UCLA with no expertise in the subject. Despite the time constraints of his medicinal studies and programming endeavors, Raghuwanshi found time to actively partake in Greek activities throu his fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau. In terms of personal growth, he acknowledges ZBT in helping him to grow as a person and providing him with strength and support throughout his college career. Raghuwanshi gave back to the Greek community by serving on the Interfraternity Council as GAMMA representative, where he promoted alcohol awareness to battle negative presumptions of UCLA Greeks regarding this issue. Being the ultimate Bruin, he has reached out to many people whose lives he has changed for the better To aid someone before she calls for your help is charity in its most noble form. It is sympathy in action. Sympathy is the touchstone of every secret and the open sesame ' to all hearts. s nry hy ei c ydiiiiif. photogiaphy by Dwgiin nnllcti. desisn h altcc liii. 11 I 11 some Defore he ca foi iitj its most no in action ' I -ii V Yanet Melchor Sociology Faeron Meldrum-Taylor Histor Erik Mena Computer Science Marlene Mena Political Science Sociology Daris Mendez English Johnny Mendez Political Sc Annette Mendoza Neuroscience Ruby Mendoza International Development Studies 4 r ■ ' iv ; B ; ' -J ll H ' ' ' ' l Joshua Meneses Psychology Natalie Mere Communication Studies Deanna Meyer Linguistics Jonathan Mihara Political Science i 376 [graduates Ani Mikaelian Miilhi ' mcitics Armineh Mikaelian Mathematics Shuji Mikami Psychology Jeffrey Miller Mathematics Economics Kyle Miller Biochemistrx Meg Millett Anthropology Elizabeth Milton Near Eastern Languages and Cultures Katrina Miranda Political Science Psychology Husne Miraz Psychology Azadeh Mirbod Ph vs olognal Science Prashila Mistry Biology Brett Mitchell, Jr. Sociology Lesley Miyagawa ■Ishiii American Studies Yasumasa Miyahara Mathematics Economics Lisa Miyake Co mm Nil iai tio i Studies Asian American Studies Justin Miyamoto Biochemistry Megan Moen Business Economics Maryam Moforrah Sociology Chung Shing Mok Matliematics Economics Diana Molina-Ospina International Development Studies Justin Monempour Ilistorv Marc Lorenz Montecillo Biology Wendy Monteon Psycliolop 378 Igraduates Jason Moon Psycliology t Hp ' ..jjw jijj H S David Morales Joe Morales Juan Moreno Raul Moreno Classical Civilization Psychology Electrical Engineering Political Science Historv Nathaniel Morris Political Science Jasmin Morrison Physiological Science Kristin Moschetti Sociology Christina Mountanos Biology Amanda Muenzer n ' arid Arts and Cultures Connie Mun Biochemistry Sara Munger History Agustin Muralidharan Anthropology Jennifer Murphy Mathematics Economics Sean Murphy Education Sociology Nicholas Musley Theater Kenneth Myers Computer Science Niousha Nader Psxchobiology David Naish Civil and Environmental Engineering Mizuho Nakamiya Linguistics Lauren Nakasato Sociology Karla Navarrete Chicana and Clucano Studies American Literature and Culture X Jorge Negrete Sociology A ' ' ' ' - - 1 1 1 Bita Neyestani History Emily Ng J 380 1 graduates I Jacqueline Ng Biology Ka-Ying Ng Business Economics Lillian Ng Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology Sylvia Ng Economics Yan-Kam Ng Electrical Engineering Yuk Kai Ng Geography Sociology Patrick Ngai Mathematics Applied Science Management Accounting Plan Quyen Ngo Cognitive Science t Anh Nguyen Microbiology.

Schwartz arrived at UCLA with her honeil tenacity in tow. While many of her peers were struggling with adjustiiient |)ains, Schwartz loaded her scheilule with sexeral extracurricular activities, incluiling an internship witli Hruiii News 29 and a position in her residential conimiuiity ' s student government.

In less than two years, Schwartz ' s barrage of experiences had left her a changed woman. Her procliv ity towards Journalism lessened as her focus shifted from pei-soiial interests to aiti-uislic concerns. With her growing involvement in the Office of Residential Lite, in adtlition to serving as a writing composition tutor for the Academics in the Commons Program, Schwartz was able to utilize her extro erted nature and leadership skills for the betterment of her peers ' college experiences. 1 ler hiring as a Resident Assistant only added to her gratifying exposure to the realm of student affairs.

Her counseling skills were strengthenetl through an internship with The Center tor Women and Men, where she represmted the student voice when addressing concerns with professional counselors. The UCLA career of Leslie Schwartz is centered around one word: leadership. In the realm of academia, she consistently ranked at the top of her classes, leading to her astounding . ' !.;)G CrPA. Her scholastic prowess has earned Schwartz numerous awards and distinctions, inclusive of a UCLA Alumni Association Distinguislu d Senior Award, Communication Studies Departmental Honors, and a membership in UCLA ' s chapter of the Mortar Board Senior National Honors Society, an organization in which Schwartz served as President for the ' I00r,- ' 2006 academic year. y s the consummate leader, Schwartz ' s jiarting thoughts urges future Bruins to ri-cognize their gifts as a key to future success.

From maintaining a pristine 4.0 in his neuroscience studies, along with placing in the 99.7-99. 8th percentile in the MCAT, Zaghi ' s achievements have molded him into the perfect candidate for Harvard, one of tlie nation ' s top medical schools, where he will attend after UCLA. Yet there is still much more to this multidimensional Bruin, whose diverse interests range from ballroom dancing to Spanish literature. As the director of the Student Welfare Commission Blood Drive committee, Zaghi ' s efforts were responsible for accumulating a record 1722 units of blood, saving the hospital over $350,000 during the 2004-2005 year. During his tenure as Publicity Director for SWC, Zaghi masterminded ' Bloody, ' the drop-shaped blood drive mascot that has become synonymous with every SWC blood drive since its inception. Zaghi spread his passion for medicinal issues to other projects as a CPR instructor, a patient escort, and as a participant in the UCLA Mobile Clinic Program, bringing much-needed medical assistance to the homeless. In the lab, under the tutelage of Dr. Earl Homsher, Zaghi spent over ten hours a week studying the differences between heavy meromyosin and native myosin. After countless dead- ends and failed experiments, Zaghi ' s perseverance won out in the end, and his findings were submitted for publication in the Journal of Biophysiology. Outside of the lab, Zaghi expressed an equal passion for the arts by occasionally tickling the i ' ories and trading in his lab coat for his dancing shoes. Zaghi was a mainstay at various Salsa classes offered at Wooden and translated these skills into participating in the Ballroom Dance Club. Zaghi has done everything from tango to swing to the cha-cha. Within his Spanish Literature classes, Zaghi quickly impressed his professors with his enthusiasm and intensity. [ Zaghi] was one of the finest young people it has been my privilege to teach... He has a genuine respect for learning and. ..is broadly curious about life and knowledge, acknowledged Professor John Dagenais. It is often said that good physicians treat the disease, but great physicians treat the patient, forming a relationship that transcends medicine. Likewise, Zaghi is quick to point out that his success was not single-handed. It is through our relationships with others that we grow, learn, and work to achieve our dreams. While Zaghi ' s intellect is unquestionable, it was his compassion and devotion to humanitarian causes that separated him from the pack. A firm believer in self-discipline and determination as tools to success, Zaghi proved that drive and hard work could accomplish anything. | story by 422 I s e n i o r ty h; ye a r The most important things I learned (at UCLA] did not come from the classes I took, but from the meaningful activities I participated in and the diverse people met along the way.

Now is my time to say thanks to everyone for all the wonderful experiences I have gone through. This year - especially, it has been a crazy ride, but we ' re finally done! First, I ' d like SN A to say thanks to our wonderful EIC, Jennie. I ' m so glad I met you 4 years ago and got the chance to work with you because we have become such good friends. From the late nights in the office to the hours of yearbook work to hanging out outside the office, it ' s great that we are friends through all of it. You did a great job this year, and I was more than happy to be your assistant :-)! Christine and Ben, it ' s funny to think that you were once on my layout staff, and now Vou are both the layout editors. Ben, your dedication and your knowledge of computers is amazing. Christine, you ' re great person to work with and you have done so much! Ellen, I enjoy all my talks with you and I admire your great copy skills. Da ill, thanks for the paychecks :-P, and more importantly, all the Nork you do and the fun weekly emails! .leu, you have really done a great job with marketing this year considering the new change... I always enjoy working in the office with you! Chris, you ' re a funny guy! We couldn ' t have gotten all the sports photos witiiout you!

Sigh...bul 1 will miss it so much... The past four years in yearbook ha e been unforgettable. :-) Gooil iucl to next year ' s staftl | Through the chronic chaos of UCLA life, it has always been a pleasure to drop by the yearbook ' office, whether it was to put in ' eight hours of work in one sitting, or simply to get aw ' ay from class (at least until it was time for the next class). It has never ceased to amaze me that we can throw together a book in only a few short months. I ' d like to thinl that in that short time, howe er, we ha ' e created more than -v just a book, but also a wonderful V) oX experience for exeryone invohed in Vj this project. To the entire staff Thank you for all of your hard work! No matter how many times I say it, I could not possibly express how much I appreciate everyone ' s help, especially those who have gone above and beyond to make everything run that much more smoothly.

Numerous hours are dedicated to the publication of our book of memories and it took diligence on the part of each and r exery staff member S: V Jen; thank you for taking care of our finances this year.

Jennie; Our heralded leader, this little space really couldn ' t capture how grateful I am to you for support and leadership. Your leadership style of sternness with a smile should be emulated by some of our world leaders. Da id: Not only the world ' s best managing editor but moonlighting as copy deputy cop3 ' writer has definitely sa ed me from insanity more times than I care to recount. Thank you for your friendship, for being patient to my o erdramatic tendencies, for being just plain amazing.

Don ' t worry, you ' ll recover one day from my Nazi tendencies. Christal: Ma cherie amore, thank you for joining my little staff this year. Yep, that ' s it. Just joshing! I hope you ' re not still mad at me for blackmailing you to work on your articles. Katherine: Thank you so much for joining the staff!

What is to become of me?! But I couldn ' t ha e sur i ed this past crazy year without Jennie to teach me the ropes to living in Kerkaffe. I ' ll be so sad when you graduate! But spirits shall remain high with the promise of you living nearby so we can run to you for problem solving advice. hysterical laughter Victoria, I will miss you too! It ' s always comforting to have wise and seasoned veterans to turn to for answers. And the rush to ship deadlines won ' t be the same without you, ready in your car, to make it to Westwood by 5:30pm! Ellen, my psychologist and loving older sister, I ' m glad you ' re around for another year, because the world is a scary place without family to look out for you. I shall continue making you proud! Da id, Jen, Jasmin, and Chris, I am so glad you guys were on board for this crazy year, and never once abandoned us! Finally, I want to thank Benjamin Michael, for being my co-editor and valued friend. I marvel at how different we are, but how great a team we make. You, me, and tiie duck. Ducks, now, actually. I ha e made so many friends through BruinLife, which prox ' es that yearbook is not just a job, an extracurricular actix ' ity, or a source of pain, but a close-knit family, with many shoulders to lean on. You can bet on my spending many more days and nights in Kerkochopii Hall, and maybe by the end, I, and the many people who mail things to us, will learn how to spell the darn name. 1 ilirixtinc fiark. i i i hM Mark Landig if i.
