Appreciate yourself!
ASI holds Love Yoúf Body event
BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday October 29
during university hour, men
and women alike visited the
Library Plaza and participated
in "Love Your Body Day." The
plaza was f ull of booths, giveaways, and activities encouraging students to love their bodies.
The ASI Women's Center put on
this event for the fourth year in a
row, but the National Organization for Women (NOW) started
this event 12 years ago.
Jessica Castro, a Women's
Center peer educator and the
coordinator of "Love Your Body
D ay" described it as "an event
about positive body image."
The NOW website descepáis it
as a day encouraging wqújga*tó
"fight b ack" against cosmetic,
fashion, and diet industries
which "work hard to make each
of us believe that our bodies are
unacceptable and need constant
improvement" in order to sell
their products.
The event on campus included
tables by organizations f rom on
and o ff campus promoting positive body image, health, and
athletics. Clif Bar gave out f ree
samples of the LUNA bar which
they market towards women, and
Froyo Love gave f ree yogurt to
anyone who got a card stamped
to prove he or she had checked
i | n at every booth.
§^Sttident Health and Counseling Services representatives
Cathy Nguyen, a health educator, and Shannon Starnater, an
intern, talked to students about
healthy habits and remind them
that they have access to nutritional counselors.
One popular table at t he event
was one at which people could
color drawings of a vagina with
crayons. Melissa R odriguez of
t he Women's Center explained
that t he coloring sheets were
" for the inner child in all of
u s t o get more f amiliar with
their vagina and to not t hink
of them as ugly or scary," and
explained that children o ften
Photos by Maeve Camplisson
learn t hrough coloring books
and worksheets.
The Women's Center had
another booth selling pink
shirts, which read, " Start a revolution. Stop hating your body."
They also gave away buttons
with various empowering messages.
The LGBTA club set up a
table against domestic violence,
and J ennifer Meneray, club president, explained to visitors that
domestic violence can be committed by anyone and towards
anyone no matter their gender,
despite popular stereotypes.
The Pride Center gave away
f ree bracelets and supplies while
visitors had the o pportunity t o
write and draw positive messages inside a traced body.

Way,
Watch out the Tea Party Express is abouti
Money Management
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride S taff Writer
Depending on whom you are and
how much you keep track ofthe news
and politics, you may have heard that
the Tea Party Express arrived in San
Diego last Sunday at Tuna Harbor
Park. The movement hits 38 cities
in 17 different states, starting in San
Diego, California and eventually
ending u pjn Orlando, Florida three
weeks later. Other states being visited include Alabama, Louisiana and
most notably Texas, which has the
most stops on the schedule with 7.
As t heJgsy|8B was in S p Diego
I fektisfe^v^inldeal opportunity to
invest^gate j ust w ^at the Tea jfearty
Express supportirs were actually
protesting a bout Upon arriving I
sdw ffaeq? was j£&rowd gathering,
m ^ y holding t iigns expressing
their views. "Just Say No to the O,"
"Socialists are just thieves with an
education," "Obama don't attack
our freedom of Xpression, What are
you afraid of, the truth?" I decided
to interview a few local residents
about why they were at the protest
and what they thought of their President of the United States. One man
said, "I stood up against communism when I was in the Navy and
now they're in the White House."
Ha^was worried about his grandchildren and their future ifthe country continued the way he thought
it was going. He also talked about
his views on health care, he said,
"It's not about giving health care,
it's about controlling the people."
_
Another protestor shared similar views, she said, "It's a move
towards socialism, taking over
the health care system, appointing tsars. We need to reform the
health care system, not replace i t"
When asked about their
thoughts on Obama they seem to
respond negatively towards the
President, one man said, "He's
pathetic. He's put all the tsars in
the white house, he starting out
with socialism. If he gets a second
term the country will be in a hell
of a situation." Other pvrotestors
went further, "He's completely
t akingthe country in the wrong
direction. He's not done anything.
He's j us|a PR figmen^a persona,
a celeBnty ^ i d e n t " % said onewoman. One protestor had a difr;
ferent insight O Obama, he said,
Q
"Would you I k your 16 year old
daughter learn to drive in your
$100,000 Mercedes?" I replied
no, he then said* "Well that is like
what Obama is doing with this
country; he?s learning to drive
with this country.- That had t o Be
the best quote that I got during the
day. He also said, ¿"He's buying
people, buying the public, with
peanuts."
As a writer and an exchange student I am trying to remain impartial, but you, the reader, can look at
the protestors' comments and form
your own opinion. Do you think
these people have a point? Or are
they completely wrong? Do you
think that Obama is taking America into a brighter future?

Sigur Ros
a
IiI
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
I've always held firm to the
belief that a song is made good by
its lyrics. Best-case scenario: recitation of the lyrics could pass as a
poem (a well-crafted poem, specifically). Granted, there are plenty
of artists out there whose real talent
is musical composition. Call me
biased, call me crazy, but I'll get
defensive if you call me wrong.
Of course, this is a bit of an irrational claim. Considering a lot of
the most popular musicians don't
even write their lyrics (a la Britney Spears, anyone?), I'm sure my
feeble views aren't the consensus of the listening world. After I
realized that, I figured a little selfreflection was in order.
There are 62 Sigur Ros tracks in
my music library. I know there are
more to be had, but I'd say a collection of that many songs provides
a decent knowledge of the band.
Something that just happened to
get past me for a time is that the
song lyrics are in Icelandic.
Ok, big deal. I don't understand
the meaning of the words, but
they sure sound nice. And Jonsi
Birgisso, lead singer and lyricist, is
so creative that he crafted an entire
album without actual lyrics. Guitarist Goggi Holm makes strange,
howling noises by dragging a cello
bow across his strings, while Kjarri
Sveinsson and Orri Pall Dyrason
add more interest with keyboards
and percussion.
Now is the point of no return. I

actually think I may need to rework
my claim a little bit. The album ( )
is easily the band's most inventive
work. In Sigur Ros's 2006 documentary, Heima, Birgisso said the
human voice is too separate from
the music it accompanies. In other
words, the nonexistent lyrics of ( )
are the most refined gibberish on
the planet. Birgisso calls the emotive "language" Hopelandic, or
Vonlenska in Icelandic.
Incidentally, ( ) just happens to
be my favorite Sigur Ros album.
And look at that, there are no lyrics
to speak of. Notice that it's even
a mystery how to actually say ( )
aloud.
Sigur Ros's four other studio
albums have lyrics, but the majority of them are in Icelandic. Their
meanings are only accessible
through shoddy translations from
fans on the internet, so the real
effect of the words is simply
masked by translation. On their
latest album, Med sud i eyrum
vid spilum endalaust (translation:
With a buzz in our ears we play
endlessly), there is one song in
English, called "AH Alright."
As per the norm, the song is
an instrumental beauty. But the
lyrics, some of which hardly
make sense, don't propel the song
the way the ambient sounds do.
Did you catch that? It's the music
that makes the song.
I set out writing this with the
objective of proving myself
wrong, and this unassuming
Icelandic band helped me do it.
Innovation is the name of the
game here, and if an artist can
write a successful song using all
of three words, he must be doing
something right. Sigur Ros,
you're doing it right.
