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. �TEP D H RE I Faces & Places 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?

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.

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.
