A hundred and fifty dollars worth of groceries.

That’s all it took for then-sen ior l i nebacker Don n ie Edwards to be slapped with a one-game suspension right in the heart of UCLA’s 1995 football season.

A few days earlier, Edwards, an eventual NFL Pro Bowler and the team’s star defensive player, had done a radio interview in which he talked about how lim-ited stipends for athletes left him and others with very little money for food after accounting for rent expense.

Shortly thereafter, the gro-ceries appeared on his doorstep. Edwards claimed to have no knowledge of the groceries’ ori-gins, but it was later found they came out of an agent’s pocket, and thus were termed an illegal benefit.

Then-f resh ma n Ra mog i Huma took notice. Edwards’ fellow linebacker had dropped weight upon arriving at UCLA – as it turned out, three meal swipes a day didn’t match his calorie intake from the five to six meals a day he used to have as a high school football play-

er, and he and his teammates became even more frustrated with Edwards’ suspension for a seemingly petty offense.

That summer, after new-ly h ired coach Bob Toledo informed his team that the NCAA prohibited UCLA and oth-er schools from covering sum-mer workout medical expenses, Huma knew something had to change.

“That was kind of the last straw,” Huma said. “That’s when I started talking to my team-mates and also players from other schools that I had gone to

high school with, and . . . that’s how it all began.”

What was to come, first in the form of a registered student group on UCLA’s campus in 1997 and later a 501c3 nonprofit orga-nization, was the National Col-lege Players Association, which today has student-athlete mem-

bers from roughly 150 Division I college campuses.

At UCLA, the advocacy group has had a powerful lineage of representation for the Bruin football program, from former cornerback Alterraun Verner, to former punter Jeff Locke, to current quarterback Brett

Hundley. As an active member in the NCPA’s Players Council, Hundley participates in a weekly conference call with Huma that covers a broad range of topics related to student-athlete well-being.

The NCPA also has several key victories to its name of late,

i n c l u d i n g the September 2012 passage of SB 1525, commonly known as the Student-athlete Bill of Rights, which guarantees schol-arships and medical coverage for student-athletes at Califor-nia’s higher-profile athletic insti-

Baseball should be a bigger hit with students

Organization advocates for student-athletes’ benefits

BY JACOB RUFFMAN

If a college base-ball program makes the

College World Series two of the past three years, averages over 44 wins a season and has 27 players drafted over that span, but no one is there to see it, does it really happen?

I couldn’t help but sit in awe asking myself that question on a gorgeous Tuesday evening when UCLA baseball faced UC Santa Barbara in the Bruins’ regular season home finale.

At the first pitch, there were maybe 100 people pres-ent; and while the final atten-dance number settled at 653, I don’t know if more than 450 were there at any one time.

Even more disappointing was that maybe 25 students were there with no designated student section for them to congregate.

“We joke sometimes that we’d rather play on the intramural field so students would go to our games,” said sophomore closer David Berg, who was recently named Pac-12 pitcher of the year. “It’s hard to play off campus, but we understand that it’s diffi-cult for students to get out to Jackie (Robinson Stadium).”

While Berg seems to understand the chronic low attendance numbers, I simply

cannot.Most students provide me

with the same excuse. They say Jackie Robinson Stadium, which is located off Sepul-veda, about a mile and a half from the Hill, is too far from campus and there is no easy way to get to the games.

I understand that concern and even share that senti-ment. As a student, I only attended two games when I wasn’t going as a media member, and I consider myself a big baseball fan.

So if the biggest issue is getting people to the games, then why doesn’t the athletic department have a shuttle system to take students to the games?

UCLA athletics provides more than 100 buses per season for seven football games at a cost of $450 per bus, so why not send one bus to every baseball game?

Just like most business-based decisions, the answer is simple – money.

Baseball, unlike football and basketball, loses a substantial amount of money for the athletics department. Last season, the baseball team had a net loss of over a million dollars, and UCLA would like to avoid adding to that deficit.

“We’ve tried buses in the past (for baseball) but it didn’t go over very well,” said

The NCPA has continued to fight for players’ well-being since its conception at UCLA in 1997

Anthony Barr lined up split out wide in the red zone dur-ing a spring practice, creating a sense of déjà vu. But this time, everyone noticed.

His first time on the offensive side of the ball at UCLA wasn’t so memorable relative to his first season on the defensive side of the ball.

As an F-back in the pistol offense, the then-sophomore amassed a total of 41 yards. This past season as a junior, starting as an outside lineback-er, the cumulative yards lost from Barr’s tackles for loss and sacks more than quadrupled the numbers he gained last sea-son.

“You just have to be selfless,” Barr said. “I was an offensive-minded guy. That’s all I wanted to do. But as time went on, I realized maybe my future is best suited somewhere else.”

Once barely a blip on the radar, Barr ’s name blared nationwide as he had the sec-ond-most sacks in the country with 13.5.

But the process of transition proved to be much more than just the mind-set of being self-less.

“The first few games of last season, I was kind of running around out there not under-standing what I was supposed to do,” said Barr.

“It’s just about transferring what you learn in the meeting room and in film and transfer-ring that to the football field. I think that’s where a lot of peo-ple struggle. I definitely strug-gled with that my first couple years but as you mature and get older you get more comfortable with it.”

A s h e ’ s m a t u r e d , h i s demeanor remains the same – always soft-spoken and deflect-ing attention to others.

Humility is at the crux of his personality, accepting the suc-cess he’s had in stride – always first and foremost thanking his teammates, coaches and family.

“If you lose (that humility), you kind of lose a sense of who you are and what you’re try-ing to attain and how you got there,” he said. “If you keep your focus, keep your head down and work hard, things will pay off.”

But while he tries to take the attention off himself, opposing offenses won’t as they scheme against one of the nation’s best players. But once again, he’s confident his teammates will seize the opportunity.

“When teams focus on me it’s going to leave a lot of guys one-on-one,” Barr said. “We have some great defensive players on our side of the ball. Some guys are going to have some breakout years, some guys you might not have known about, so I’m really excited for that.”

Not only will Barr provide an

opportunity for his teammates to perform, but also to improve.

Barr often goes head-to-head in practice with another potential first-round draft pick in junior offensive l ineman Xavier Su’a-Filo.

“I love (the competition),” Su’a-Fi lo said. “Anthony’s a great player and he brings it every day. I would be doing him

a disservice and he would be doing the same thing to me if we didn’t bring it. And so we learn it from each other. And I love going against him and it’s fun.”

Although it may seem as though Barr shies away from the spotlight, he’s ready for the biggest stage, and to embrace impending glory – the possi-

bility of winning the Heisman Trophy.

“UCLA needs to promote him, and I’m going to promote him. And he needs to go out and promote himself by going out and playing great and help-ing his team win,” said coach Jim Mora.

And while Mora is lending a helping hand to the Heisman

campaign, Barr knows the most important attribute a Heisman Trophy-w inner can have – being a winner.

“I just want to see some wins – as many wins as you can get,” Barr said. “You’re not going to win any awards if you’re not

As an 11-year-old, B.B. Bates sat in the stands at Easton Stadium to wit-ness her first collegiate softball game and watch future Olympic gold med-alist Natasha Watley play shortstop for the Bruins. Right then and there, Bates knew that she wanted to play softball for UCLA.

She even attempted to pattern her game after Watley’s, which included a failed attempt at playing shortstop in high school. But now, 11 years later, the senior outfielder is wrapping up the achievement of her dream.

“To be able to actually say that and actually be here, it’s a blessing,” Bates said. “It was the biggest goal of my life to come here, and I did it.”

While living out her dream, she was able to put her name in the UCLA record books.

Bates entered the season with 30 career home runs and a career high of 48 runs batted in for a single sea-son.

She then proceeded to post the second-best single-season numbers in UCLA history for home runs and RBIs this season by hitting 25 homers and knocking in 74 runs.

Bates also led the team in bat-ting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, runs scored,

doubles, multi-hit games, multi-RBI games and total bases.

“If you really look at B.B. closely from her freshman year to her senior year, every year she got better,” said coach Kelly Inouye-Perez. “Every year her numbers got better.”

For her career, Bates is tied for third all-time in UCLA history for homers, fourth for RBI, tied for fourth in total bases, and fifth in slugging percentage and runs scored.

“This is a D-1 school and to be able to be in UCLA history, it’s a great honor,” Bates said.

Her performance racked up some hardware as she was named a Second Team National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-American and earned First Team NFCA All-West Region and Al l-Pac-12 accolades. At the team’s end of the season award ban-quet, she was named the team MVP and Co-Offensive MVP.

Despite Bates’ success this season, the Bruins, for the third straight year, were unable to advance to the College World Series.

“My plan this year was I can take them there, because I’ve been there,” Bates said. “Consistency kicked us in the butt, but of course we wanted to go back, I believed that we were going to go back. It just didn’t happen that way.”

In Bates’ freshman year in 2010, the Bruins went to the College World

Series and she played a key role in helping them win the national cham-pionship.

“When I was there, I forgot it was a TV game. I didn’t think about it as being the College World Series, I

just thought it was like a fun tourna-ment,” Bates said. “(The older play-ers) didn’t make it seem bigger for the freshmen or anybody else.”

Bates and the only other senior on the team, outfielder Devon Lind-

vall, tried to use their championship experience to help teach the team’s 15 underclassmen what it takes to reach that stage.

After watching UCLA softball as an 11-year-old, senior outfielder B.B. Bates dreamed of playing for UCLA. Now, a decade later, Bates caps off her career with UCLA as the Female Athlete of the Year.

BATES | Page 7

Senior B.B. Bates has not only lived her dream of playing for UCLA, but also set records and won awards as a Bruin

going to win any games. I think f irst and foremost with the team and then all those person-al awards and accolades those will all fall in place at the end of the year.”

Offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone is getting involved too, designing plays in which Barr can f lex his exceptional ath-leticism on the offensive side of the ball.

Barr isn’t afraid to put the ball in his hands either, and it’ll help his Heisman chances. Only one other defensive player has won the award – Charles Wood-son, who doubled as a punt returner and occasionally wide receiver.

Last season, then-redshirt senior defense end Datone Jones was able to haul in a touchdown grab in the red zone and Barr is ready to fill that role.

“You get a big, good-looking guy with long arms like Antho-ny or a guy that’s athletic like Cassius (Marsh), those size mismatches – you’re going to try and utilize them,” said Mora.

Barr agreed with Mora, say-ing, “The more you can do the more useful you are, so if I can get us six points here or there I’m all for that.”

But despite how far Barr has climbed up draft boards and Heisman watch lists, he understands how much he can improve, continually staying humble and working hardest when no one sees.

When asked how much time he still spends learning about the position this offseason, in meetings and on film, Barr said, “Just as much if not more than on the practice field. You go home and you’re just chilling, you just turn on some film just to keep your mind refreshed and to keep that in the back of your head. I was watching Nebraska just the other day just to get your feet wet a little bit and to get ready for that first game coming up.”

That game coming up he’s referring to is 12 weeks away. And that Nebraska rematch? Not for another 14.

But as much as he’s prepar-ing for the future season, he knows where he stands on his future career. After a breakout season, Barr was widely consid-ered as one of the top picks in the entire NFL draft.

He thought over the deci-sion to turn pro, but decided to return to school for his senior season.

“It was pretty tough,” Barr said. “I took my time with that. When you’re 20,21 years old, you just see all these zeros at the end of a check – it kind of entices you to turn pro.

But I think you need to sit down and think what’s going to be best long-term. Definitely a degree from UCLA is pretty decent and that’ll pay off in the long run. I also had to grow and mature as a football player and a person, and I don’t know if I was ready to be completely on my own yet. So I think it was best for me to come back and further develop myself.”

And with Barr’s mind off that decision, his focus can shift to the future.

Johnathan Frankl in came to UCLA widely con s idered to be no more than the second- or third-best running back of UCLA’s 2008 recruit-ing class. Five years lat-er, Franklin finished his career as arguably the top running back in UCLA history.

After redshirting his f i rst year on campus, Franklin quickly stepped into a starting role. As a redshirt freshman, he ran for 566 yards before breaking out for 1,127 yards as a redshirt soph-omore. Franklin failed to reach the 1,000 yard mark as a redshirt junior, but more than made up for it in his final year.

As a redshirt senior Frankl in exploded for 1,734 r ush i n g yards, pushing his career total to 4,403 yards, breaking

Gaston Green’s 25-year-old record for career rushing yards. Adding to the impressive stat line, Franklin scored 13 rushing touchdowns and amassed nine 100-yard games, six of which were over 160 yards.

F r a n k l i n’s per for-mance earned him a spot as a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, given to the nation’s top running back.

Senior utility Josh Samuels has known nothing but success as a member of UCLA’s men’s water polo team. In each of his four years at UCLA, Samuels and his team have reached the Mountain Pacific Sports Fed-eration championships, total-ling two conference and three NCAA title game appearances during his career. While al l three NCAA finals resulted in UCLA losses, the team’s suc-cess w ith Samuels play ing can’t be ignored.

During his time at UCLA, Samuels proved to be an inte-gral part to the Bruins’ suc-cess. Despite starting just six out of 30 games as a fresh-man, Samuels was the Bruins’ fourth-highest goal-scorer. As a sophomore, he was recog-nized as an honorable men-tion All-American. That honor got bumped up to first-team A l l -A mer ica i n h i s ju n ior and senior years, as Samuels asserted himself as one of the team’s best players. Samuels

was far and away the Bruins’ best goal-scorer in his senior year, as his 65 goals, the high-est season total of his career, were 23 more than the next closest Bruin.

While UCLA was unable to come away from the NCAAs w ith any hardware dur ing Samuels’ tenure, h is talent helped make UCLA a peren-nial title contender.

Senior StandoutsRachael Kidder

Rachael Kidder wil l be remembered for being the best player on a national championship-winning team. In 2011, her junior year, she led the UCLA women’s vol-leyball team to its first NCA A Cha mpionsh ip s i nce 19 91 a nd w a s named Most Outstand-ing Player of the tourna-ment. After a productive first two years in which Kidder showed consis-tent improvement, she

emerged in 2011 as one of the best outside hitters in the country during the regular season and was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Asso-ciation All-America, All-Pacific Region and All-Pac-12 First Teams. She averaged 4.7 kills per set that year, which earned her ninth in the nation.

Although 2012 was a down year statistically for Kidder, it was not for a lack of improvement on her end. While still stel-lar, her 3.98 kills/set was down from her jun ior year output largely due to the emergence of fel-low senior Tabi Love, who took some of the work-load off Kidder’s shoul-ders. Ultimately, Kidder still went on to be recog-nized in 2012 as an AVCA Honorable Mention All-American.

These top senior athletes helped carry their teams during their time in their respective programs.

“She’s been fantastic. All year, obvi-ously. You don’t become a First Team All-American by luck. But I think it’s gone to a whole new level since the play-offs started.” – UCLA women’s volleyball coach Michael Sealy

Zakiya BywatersZakiya Bywaters was a

top recruit coming out of h igh school, ranked No. 17 by ESPN and No. 21 as a four-star recruit by Top Drawer Soccer, and more than lived up to the hype wh i le a member of the UC L A women’s s o ccer team. As a senior, the for-ward starred right out of the gate, starting 23 of the 25 games and earning Pac-10 All-Freshman honors.

W h i le By w aters w a s successful her first three years, she took her game to a new level during her senior season. After scoring eight total goals over her first three seasons, Bywa-ters almost doubled that number, scoring 15 goals in her final season. Those goals did more than just fill out an impressive stat line – six of her 15 goals were game-winners.

Bywaters’ improvement in goal-scoring earned her multiple honors. She was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year, a First Team

All-American and earned a spot on the Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Season first team.

Bywaters capped off her UCLA career by moving on to a professional one, earn-ing yet another honor by being drafted No. 1 overall in the 2013 National Wom-en’s Soccer League draft by the Chicago Red Stars.


“I think ... her confidence has grown this year to know that she can be a goal scorer and that she’s always had it in her. I don’t think that her success for us has been a whole lot different this year versus last year. It’s only that she’s being recognized for it and she deserves to be recog-nized for it with the Pac-12 Player of the Year. ... She’s a tremendous soccer player.” – Former UCLA women’s soccer coach B.J. Snow.

Markel WalkerSenior guard/forward

Markel Walker arrived at UCLA as one of the high-est-ranked women’s bas-ketball recruits to come to Westwood in recent memory, and left as one of the program’s lead-ers in wins over the last decade.

In her freshman sea-son, Walker jumped in and made an immediate impact, leading the Bru-ins to an NCAA tourna-ment appearance – the program’s first in over three years – while earn-ing All-Pac-10 honors. In her sophomore year, she pushed her team to even further heights. Walker spurred UCLA to tie both its program’s season wins record and its highest NCAA tourna-ment seeding. The next year, however, the then-junior Walker struggled through injuries early in the season and her team stumbled to a sub-.500 record. However, Walker still managed to make the All-Pac-12 team. But the

versatile guard/forward saved her best for last – her senior campaign.

T h i s p a s t se a son , Walker led the Bruins to a 26-8 record and a No. 3 seed, once again tying the school record for wins in a season and highest NCAA tourna-ment seed, and the Bru-ins finished ranked No. 11 in the nation. Walker led the Pac-12 in assists, made the All-Pac-12 team for the third time in four years and was named an AP honorable mention All-American.

“There’s not many players in the entire country who can affect the game the way Markel can. She’s got to be one of the nation’s best players.” – Coach Cori Close

Senior Vanessa Zamarripa has been a pivotal member of UCLA gymnastics since her first year of competition. As a freshman, she placed third in the all-around at the NCAA Championships and earned All-American honors in the all-around, vault, balance beam, floor and uneven bars.

I n her sophomore yea r Zamarripa earned a spot on the US National Team, won the NCAA vault championship and earned All-American honors in the all-around, vault, f loor and bars.

After recovering from an injury to her Achilles tendon in 2011, Zamarripa returned for her third year of competition in 2012 for another standout season, earning All-American honors on bars, floor, and vault and the Pac-12 conference title on vault.

This year, Zamarripa fin-ished her UCLA gymnastics career with additional honors. She won the 2013 American Athletic, Inc. Award as the top senior gymnast in the nation and was also the West Region and Pac-12 Gymnast of the

Year. Zamarripa earned All-Amer-

ican honors on vault, floor and all-around, bringing her All-America honors to a school record, 19.

Za ma r r ipa’s i mpress ive performances earned her two Pac-12 records: nine Gymnast of the Week awards and eight Special Performance of the Week awards. Zamarripa was also named to the Pac-12’s All-Academic team.

Ryan Hollingshead

“I think Ryan’s a really hardworking, honest individual, and he was a great captain for us this year. He set the bar really high for us and really he was a strong leader on our team that everyone looked up to, and he leaves a gap next year that we’re going to have to fill on and off the field.” – Teammate Joe Sofia

Ryan Holl ingshead’s suc-cess on the field was matched by his success in the class-room.

For his sophomore, junior and senior seasons, he was named to both the All-Pac-12 team, as well as the Pac-12 All-Academic team, earning first team in each in his final season.

On top of that, UCLA’s team captain was also named the Pac-12 Player of the Year after scor ing a team-high seven goals and assisting on eight more.

UCLA men’s soccer expe-rienced a wealth of success with Hollingshead playing for the team.

I n Hol l i n g she a d’s fou r years, the Bruins won three Pac-12 titles, including one this past season.

His abi l ities were on ful l display his senior year, as he had to step into a leading role after the departure of mid-

fielder Kelyn Rowe and for-ward Chandler Hoffman, who were both top picks in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft.

Hollingshead himself was picked in the second round of the MLS SuperDraft by FC Dallas, but elected to help his brother build a church instead of turning pro immediately. His future in the MLS is still uncertain.

A f t er p l ay i n g i n 55 games and hitting .302 last season, junior infielder Kevin Williams’ numbers dropped this season – he played in just 36 games and hit .231. Williams has spent most of his time at des-ignated hitter.

Allen, who has played in 38 of UCLA’s 60 games, is batting .247 with two home runs and 13 RBI on the year. After playing in a combined 25 games in his first two seasons, Allen finally got a chance to prove himself th is year.

Junior pitcher Adam P l u t k o , w h o m a n y expected to be the Bru-ins’ top prospect, went undrafted on Friday, but he didn’t have to wait long on Saturday. Plutko (8-3, 2.35 ERA) has been UCLA’s ace for the past two seasons.

Valaika, a junior short-stop, hit .257 with five home runs and 44 RBI this season. He was also named the Pac-12 Defen-sive Player of the Year.

A redshirt junior pitch-er, Ryan Deeter has had 21 relief appearances this season, post ing a 4.24 ERA and a 2-0 record. Deeter had a 0.89 ERA last season in 36 appear-ances, but has had fewer opportunities because of the emergence of young relievers.

Junior pitcher Zack Weiss is second on the tea m w ith 40 rel ief appearances and sports a 2-1 record with a 2.37 ERA this season.

UCLA IN THE 2013 MLB DRAFT

After a 4.43 earned run average last season, junior pitcher Nick Va nder Tuig (11-4, 2.51 ERA) i mproved to become UCLA’s team leader in wins this season.


Associate Athletic Director Scott Mitchell. “It’s something that we could revisit but there hasn’t been an outcry from the student population (for it).”

The Undergraduate Students Association Council’s General Representative 1 Office attempted to run a bus from campus to Jackie Robin-son Stadium a few weeks back, but the turnout was vastly underwhelming.

Given it was a Tuesday night game during USAC elections week, the low attendance was somewhat expected, but the event itself was considered a success from those who went.

“We received great feed-back from everyone who went,” said General Represen-tative Michael Starr, whose office ran the event. “If (the athletics department) picked a few games to highlight on Saturday games where they bus people out, I think it’d be a success.”

While a larger commit-ment to baseball could help generate revenue and ease

the financial burden of the program, there is still a major cultural issue with UCLA’s students when it comes to attending UCLA sporting events.

Last year, the athletics program sold more than 10,000 Den Sports Passes to students, setting a record high for season passes in the process, yet it was a struggle to fill the student section at times.

On average, just around 2,000 students would attend a men’s basketball game at brand new Pauley Pavilion this past season, meaning four-fifths of students chose not to attend a game they already paid to watch.

“We have tried to give students the opportunity to attend games, like this past April when we provided free buses to football’s Spring Game, but only about 100 kids went,” Mitchell said. “You have to ask yourself what kind of return are you going to get, and realistically, how many people can you really get to go to a Tuesday night game?”

To confirm this suspicion of apathy toward UCLA athletics from the student population, I went on BruinWalk and asked 40 UCLA students if they could direct me toward Jackie Robinson Stadium.

26 of the students had no idea what I was talking about, seven knew generally that the stadium existed and seven could tell me exactly where to go.

I find it sad that UCLA has a gorgeous baseball stadium that’s almost the exact same walking distance from campus to Westwood Brewing Company, yet only seven out of 40 people can tell me where it is.

UCLA baseball has one of the best recruiting coaches in John Savage, had the No. 1 and No. 3 overall picks of the MLB draft taken in 2011 and just last weekend, junior center fielder Brian Carroll had the top play on ESPN SportsCenter – why wouldn’t you want to see this?

Fortunately for the Bruins, they just won their Super Regional, placing them in the College World Series, which is the equivalent to the Bowl Championship Series for football or Elite Eight for basketball.

Each game in the CWS is nationally televised, mean-ing that after a yet another tremendous 44-win season for the Bruins, someone will finally be watching.

“(We) were able to lead because we were the only ones who knew what it takes to get to Oklahoma,” Lindvall said. “We’ve been able to experi-ence it and we did our best to try and get the program back to that place that we were in 2010.”

Bates said she gained the confidence to be a leader this season and enjoys being a role model and mentor for the younger players.

“She’s a very vocal leader and she also leads by exam-ple,” Lindvall said. “The girl knows how to execute on the field and she knows how to motivate. When she speaks, people listen.”

Of a l l of Bates’ sk i l l s , Inouye-Perez said that she

would miss Bates’ leadership the most next season due to her ability to instill confidence in the underclassmen.

After having time to reflect on the season since their loss in the NCAA Regionals, Bates was disappointed with fail-ing to reach the College World Series, but l ikes the team’s chances for next year.

“Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be right now,” Bates said.

“I want them to go there, because it’s a lot of fun. That’s where the Bruins perform, and I think they’re going to

Julian Wruck continued his successful season, bringing home his second career national championship in discus.

Discus thrower wins NCAA championship

BY DERREK LIBruin Sports [email protected]

Com i n g i nto the NCA A championships, Julian Wruck held all 25 of the longest colle-giate discus throws this season. With such an impressive track record, the expectations and pressure were higher than one of his record-setting throws.

The redshirt junior was one of ten UCLA Bruins to qualify for the NCAA championships in Eugene, Ore. this week, with Wruck carrying some of the largest expectations of any Bruin.

“I said to my friends and family a few days ago that all I want to do is win it,” Wruck said. “I don’t care how far I throw; I just wanted to walk away with the win, and that’s exactly what I did so I couldn’t be happier.”

The road to a second nation-al championship was not easy for Wruck, who had won two years ago before redshirting last year, losing his eligibility for the year. Going into the sec-ond to last round, Wruck found himself in second place behind last year’s national champion, Nebraska junior Chad Wright.

But when his season came down to just two throws, Wruck showed why he has been one of the top competitors all year, as he out-threw the reigning champ to reclaim the crown.

“I did feel pressure and I did feel nervous, but I’m just glad I was able to relax a little bit and overtake him,” Wruck said.

Other Bruins did not enter the championships with nearly the same expectations. Junior

decathlete Marcus Nilsson did not expect to finish within the top ten, but after a huge per-sonal record, Nilsson found his name in third place on the lea-derboard.

“I was not sure how I felt going into the competition because of all the strong ath-letes, but I knew I was in good shape and my body felt great,” Nilsson said. “I just had a great few days.”

Joining Nilsson as a third place finisher was senior Tur-quoise Thompson. Having fin-ished second in the 400-meter hurdles in each of the last two years of the NCAA champi-onships, Thompson entered with expectations that rivaled Wruck’s.

Despite setting a personal record, Thompson ended a suc-cessful UCLA career without winning a national champion-ship.

While Thompson ran her last race as a Bruin, sophomore Kylie Price showed off what a young pair of legs can do. The only Bruin to have qualified for the NCAA championships in two events, Price finished sixth in the long jump and 13th in the 100 meter.

As was a common theme among the Bruin competi-tors, Price said she was happy with how the season ended but was already looking forward to improving and coming back stronger next year.

“I had a wonderful season this year; I improved in all my marks and all my events,” Price said. “But I’m only a sophomore so I have two more years to win a NCAA championship, so I’m looking forward to that.”

Losing only twice this season, men’s tennis had a memorable year BY REECE FOSTERBruin Sports [email protected]

A 26-4 tennis season in 2011-2012 that ended with a 4-1 semi-final loss to USC in the NCAA championships would have been deemed a success for almost any other team. But for a UCLA men’s tennis team that has won

16 national championships, there was a natural expectation to do more this year.

A 29-2 record for the 2012-2013 season highlighted by win-ning the Pac-12 regular season title, Pac-12 tournament, an ascension to the No. 1 ranking, and a runner-up finish at the national championships were a testament to this team’s success

this year. “We had great depth, espe-

cially singles-wise. Everybody stayed relatively healthy, that is always a key thing. The team bonded, we al l were excited about the year, we had a good year before,” said coach Billy Martin. “It wasn’t the exact end-ing we wanted, but certainly a great year. And it comes down

to hard work. The guys worked really hard from day one.”

The team’s ending to the sea-son was one of heartbreak for the Bruins after junior Adrien Puget held a match point to win the national championship, but sub-sequently lost the match in what was a 4-3 loss to Virginia.

Despite the loss, the team had a stellar year, winning 20

consecutive matches spanning from February 22nd to May 20th. Puget said he is already looking forward to next season and how the team can learn from their experience this season to have another standout year.

“We want to at least do the same, maybe even better next season. To do better we just need to win the NCAAs. But I

think next year we really want to have a high focus on the indoors, which is also a great title to have and would give us confidence at the beginning of the season,” Puget said. “And I think that we will have the same expecta-tions, and now that we’ve had a bitter taste of what the title is

tutions who have been injured.In recent months, however,

the NCPA’s focus has shifted slightly to the hotly debated issue of player compensation and what defines an athletic scholarship.

Huma and the NCPA teamed up with Dr. Ellen Staurowsky, a sport management professor at Drexel University, to produce “The $6 Billion Dollar Heist,” a study released in March 2013 that attempted to estimate, based on revenue percent-ages for athletes in the NBA and NFL, the fair market value of Division I athletes in reve-nue-earning sports, as well as determine observed shortfalls of full-ride scholarships given to student-athletes.

“I think we’ve created a sys-

tem that has presented ath-letes with situations that are very, very difficult for them to accept,” Staurowsky said of the NCAA. “Whether it’s endorse-ments or trust fund (student-athlete compensation), I think we need to be looking at this from a labor perspective, and really envisioning this as a system that has systematically denied athletes’ statuses as employees.”

The study found that UCLA, which brought in slightly more than $25 million in football rev-enues, and a little more than $8 million in men’s basketball revenues during the 2011-2012 school year, carried student-athlete fair market values of $109,510 and $293,946 per play-er, respectively. After factoring in cost of living for the aver-age UCLA student, the study also found an average full-ride scholarship shortfall, or a dif-ference between scholarship

payouts and actual cost of attendance of nearly $3,400 per student-athlete per year.

Hundley claims the shortfall among athletes on scholarship stems from a high cost of living in Westwood, particularly with rent and parking, that isn’t paid entirely by stipend money.

“If you live on campus, you don’t get a stipend,” Hundley said. “If you live off campus, you get a stipend, but you’ve got to understand that rent is (high), so you may be left with $200 or $300 to buy groceries and do other things.”

The rising redshirt sopho-more quarterback, while grate-ful for the scholarship money he receives, held that the short-fall has had a real impact on the lives of some of his team-mates from low-income back-grounds, especially when part-time employment is not feasible given the day-to-day time con-straints of football.

“Some players are running around here where they can’t do anything but stay on cam-pus,” Hundley said. “Their par-ents may not have enough to give them, or if they are get-ting Pell Grants or anything like that, they have to give it to their parents to help them out in the first place.”

Shortfalls for UCLA athletes, though, could be eliminated sooner rather than later, after California Assemblywoman Cheryl R. Brown amended AB 475 in March. The bill, which was co-sponsored by the NCPA and now sits in the Commit-tee on Higher Education, would grant student-athletes at Cali-fornia universities earning over $20 million or more in media and licensing revenues – name-ly Cal, Stanford, UCLA and USC – a yearly participation stipend of $3,600.

The NCAA, which could not be reached for comment after

multiple phone calls and emails from The Bruin, attempted, unsuccessfully, to implement an annual per-athlete stipend of $2,000 last year.

While battles over player compensation and publicity rights wage on, and while the NCPA’s support on a campus whose average graduating senior was $18,000 in debt in 2011 remains unclear, Huma insists that regardless of the outcome, the aesthetics and atmosphere of collegiate sports will be left untouched.

“Everything would change, but nothing would change,” Huma said. “Everything would change in terms of fair treat-ment of college athletes, but nothing would change because the Rose Bowl’s still going to fill up on home games, Pauley Pavilion’s still going to fill up on home games and people will still be rooting for their favorite teams.”

like, I’m sure we will work hard to come back and actually win (the NCAAs).”

With the loss of just two play-ers, seniors Alex Brigham and Maxime Tabatroung, heading into next year, much of this squad will remain the same. Sophomore Marcos Giron believes that the team chemistry that they have built over the last couple of years was vital in their success, and will continue to be a key factor leading into next season.

“We have a really good group of guys on the team right now, we all push each other really hard and are inspired to do well. We all have that mutual goal of holding the trophy at the end of the year,” Giron said. “We all get along great,” he added.

“Obviously the coaching staff has been wonderful. We were still a young team this year; we know how to push each other and can coach each other to our fullest potential.”

The current singles squad, composed of Giron, Puget, sophomores Dennis Novikov and Dennis Mkrtchian, junior Clay Thompson and redshirt fresh-man Karue Sell will all be return-ing for next season. While the expectations may be as high as ever, the players will be looking to continue to grow as a team next season.

“It’s a yearlong process, we start and have to make every day at practice count and get in really good shape. And not just look for-ward to the NCAAs, the indoors or the Pac-12 tournament, but look forward to each day of prac-tice and getting better,” Martin said.

Pauley Pavilion reopens after renovationNov. 9, 2012

After 30 months of renovation and more than 600 days since the last basket was scored in the arena, the new Pauley Pavilion opened up to a sellout crowd as the UCLA men’s basketball team squared off against Indiana State in its season opener. Junior forward Travis Wear notched the first UCLA points in the revamped arena, and freshman guard Jordan Adams posted a game-high 21 points as the Bruins went on to rout the visiting Sycamores 86-59.

Softball downed by major underdogFeb. 26, 2013

After winning the Pac-12 championship and earning the nation’s sixth seed, the Bruins looked poised to make a deep run in the playoffs. Instead, UCLA came out of their first-round bye and suf-fered a tough 5-2 defeat against an unseeded University of San Diego team. The five goals sur-rendered in the upset were the most scored against the Bruins all season and the three-run loss was their largest margin of defeat. With the worst loss of the year in their most important game of the season, the men’s soccer team’s season came to an abrupt end.


Not even a week after suffering a 35-17 loss at the hands of Stanford in their regu-lar season finale, UCLA football would get its chance at redemption just six days later in Palo Alto.

With a trip to the Rose Bowl on the line, the Bruins gave the Cardinal all they could handle in the Pac-12 Championship game. UCLA struck first on senior running back Johnathan Franklin’s 51-yard touchdown run. Stanford would respond with a touch-down run of its own by redshirt freshman Kevin Hogan to tie the game.

The Bruins and Cardinal traded scores over the next four quarters in a back-and-forth battle that went down to the wire. Stanford took a 27-24 lead on sophomore Jordan Williamson’s 36-yard field goal with a little less then seven minutes remaining in the game. UCLA had its chance to tie the game and send it into overtime, but fresh-man kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn’s 51-yard field goal went wide left, and with it went UCLA’s Pac-12 title hopes.


The UCLA men’s tennis team fell in a tense NCAA tournament final after the match-winning serve and game-winning hit seemed inevitable. Team captain junior Adrien Puget was up 5-3 in the deciding set and 40-30 in the match point game. He hit a high backhand volley into the corner, and the Bruins thought they had the title before Puget’s foot hit the net and the chair umpire called him for a violation. From that point on, Puget struggled and lost his third set 7-5, and Virginia fought back to win the match 4-3.

UCLA men’s golf entered the NCAA championship ranked No. 3 in the country and had hopes of captur-ing a national championship. However, the Bruins failed to live up to their ranking as they finished 26th, and were unable even to qualify for match play.

UCLA would finish 18 strokes over par, well behind leader California, and 16 shots from the cut line for match play. For a team that figured to be serious contenders for a national championship, the men’s tennis made an earlier-than-expected exit from the NCAA championship.


Entering its contest against a sub-.500 Cal State Fullerton squad, UCLA softball was ranked 10th in the nation and had won 10 straight games. Despite appear-ing to be the superior team on paper, the Bruins were upset by the Titans with a final score of 11-5, in a game which UCLA never led. Sophomore pitcher Ally Carda, who entered the game with an 8-0 record, had her share of troubles in the circle, giving up seven earned runs and 11 hits in earning her first loss of the year. The Titans’ 11 runs would be the most runs that the Bruins surrendered to any team all year.

Men’s basketball wins at the buzzer Feb. 7, 2013

Already on its way to one of the best seasons in program history, the UCLA women’s basketball team played its best basketball in the Pac-12 tour-nament. A three-seed, the Bruins started soundly by defeating the Utah Utes 54-43, before knocking off then-No. 5 ranked California – a team that had beaten them by 28 points earlier in the season – 70-58 in the semifinals.

In the title game, UCLA pushed then-No. 4 ranked Stanford to the brink of defeat, but missed a potential game-tying shot at the buzzer to lose by just two points, 51-49. It was a gritty tourna-ment run by the Bruins that nearly prevented the Cardinal from winning their seventh straight Pac-12 tournament championship. Despite the loss, the Bruins proved they could compete with some of the nation’s top teams.

Men’s water polo falls in nail-biting NCAA title gameDec. 2, 2012

The expectations for the defending national champions and seventh-seeded UCLA women’s vol-leyball team were high rolling into the NCAA tour-nament. But the billing didn’t quite fit the team’s play as UCLA was ousted by unseeded Michigan State at home in just the second round.

The upstart Spartans ran out to a 2-0 sets lead. The Bruins then awoke to cruise to a third-set vic-tory. However, their slow start – a trend all season – proved to be insurmountable as Michigan State eked out a fourth-set win to cap off the upset. Spartan players proceeded to jump up and down at center court, leaving the Bruins in shock and ensuring they would not repeat as champions.

The USC men’s water polo team was perfect going into its final matchup of the season with UCLA. Though the Bruins offered some resistance, it was the Trojans who emerged with no blemishes on their record.

Leading for the majority of the game, and as late as with 2:47 left to play in the fourth quarter, the Bruins looked as though they had a legitimate shot at winning their first NCAA title since 2004.

Instead, the relentless Trojans scored with 47 seconds left to solidify the final score at 11-10, and the Bruins looked on in shock as their crosstown adversaries plunged into the pool and hoisted their fifth consecutive national title.

Football takes down USCNov. 17, 2012

On a cold, rainy day in November, the UCLA football team would do what no squad had done since 2006, defeat-ing cross-town rival USC 38-28 in front of more than 80,000 fans at the Rose Bowl. Senior running back Johnathan Franklin paced the Bruins on offense, racking up 177 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, while redshirt freshman quarterback Brett Hundley added two rushing scores of his own, in addition to throwing for 234 yards and another score through the air. After jumping out to an early 24-0 lead, the Bruins withstood a furious Trojans comeback to clinch their second Pac-12 South Division title in as many years.


Johnathan Franklin breaks UCLA rushing record Nov. 3, 2012

Just a little less than three minutes into the opening quarter of UCLA football’s home contest against Arizona, ranked No. 24 at the time, redshirt senior running back Johnathan Franklin took a handoff from redshirt freshman quarterback Brett Hundley and dashed 37 yards downfield for the score. The run would give Franklin the school’s career rushing record, moving him past Gaston Green, who held the previous record with 3,731 career yards rushing, which had stood since 1987. The run was also part of a 162-yard performance for Franklin, as the Bruins went on to rout the Wildcats 66-10. Franklin finished his UCLA career with 4,403 yards rushing, more than 600 yards ahead of the second-place Green.


Men’s soccer defeats Stanford in 2OTNov. 1, 2012

Ninety minutes against Stanford just weren’t enough. Instead, it took UCLA 103 minutes to fend off Stanford and grab the double-overtime win. The Bruins jumped out to an early lead with a goal in the 16th minute, but surrendered a late equalizer to the Cardinal that forced overtime. In overtime, the Bruins failed to capitalize on several quality opportunities, but in the 103rd minute redshirt senior Chris Cummings launched a long pass to redshirt senior midfielder/forward Fernando Monge whose shot hit off the crossbar and bounced in for the game-winning goal.


UCLA women’s track and field record fallsApril 20, 2013

After nine years, the UCLA record for wom-en’s hammer throw finally fell.

Although junior Ida Storm hails from Nybro, Sweden, she was determined to make her mark here in Los Angeles. On April 20, at the final day of the Mt. SAC relays, she did just that by hurling the hammer 223 feet and 3 inches. That throw brought Storm to the top of the list of all-time Bruin women hammer throwers, displacing Jessica Cosby, whose distance of 219 feet and 5 inches reigned supreme since 2004.

Storm capped off a successful season with a fifth-place finish in the hammer throw at her third-straight NCAA championships.

Men’s volleyball upsets BYUApril 6, 2013

The UCLA men’s volleyball team picked apart top-ranked BYU in a shocking sweep that established the Bruins as legitimate contenders for the national championship. It was one of those games where everything seemed to go the Bruins’ way, but the result was far from lucky. Coach John Speraw’s game plan was executed to perfection as the Cougars had no answer for the Bruins’ outside hitters and towering middle blockers. The victory boosted UCLA’s confidence for the rest of the season and showed that they could compete with any team in the country.

Compiled by Leonardo Villalobos, Bruin Sports reporter.

In a back-and-forth contest against Wash-ington, in which no team led by more than six points, senior guard Larry Drew II found the ball in his hands with the score knotted at 57 and 10.5 seconds remaining on the clock. The ball would not leave Drew’s hands until he had taken the game’s final shot. Drew took the in-bounds pass from freshman guard Kyle Anderson and advanced the ball up the court. With the clock winding down, Drew received a screen from junior forward Travis Wear, allowing the Bruins’ lone senior to find some room in the left elbow. Drew then launched a fade-away jumper as time expired that found the bottom of the net, sending Pauley Pavilion into pandemonium and UCLA into the locker room with a 59-57 victory.


FALL WINTER SPRING

Up by 18 points midway through the second half, No. 11 UCLA men’s basket-ball appeared to be in complete control of their matchup against and unheralded Cal Poly team.

However, despite the lead, the Bruins failed to put the Mustangs away. Cal Poly stormed back, going on a 35-14 run to take a 68-65 lead with less than a minute remaining. UCLA tied the game at 68, but sophomore guard Norman Powell’s foul with 11 seconds remaining put Cal Poly junior guard Kyle Odister to the line. Odister made both free throws, giving the heavy underdog Mustangs the lead.

Freshman guard Jordan Adams had a chance to win the game, but his 3-pointer bounced off the rim as time expired, and the nationally ranked Bruins were upset on their home court.

Blessed with sight, student to see thesis become film

BY TONY HUANGA&E [email protected]

Dallas King’s home office overflows with cinema. In his work space quarantined off in the corner, three foundational posters – “Zulu,” “Jason and the Argonauts,” “Clash of the Titans” – hang proudly. The top shelf of his desk is littered with awards, most noticeably the Directors Guild of America West Region Jury Award for his short, “Most Wanted.”

But most prominent are posters of his film in progress: “Hozon,” the first-ever feature-length film approved by the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television as a thesis proj-ect.

Born into a family with an incurable hereditary retinal d isease, K ing had a 50 /50 chance of going bl ind. He didn’t, but the disease formed the basis for “Hozon,” a horror film about a cure gone wrong.

“I was blessed with sight,” King, a fourth-year graduate student in film, said. “But I wondered how a family would cope with an incurable disease – a powerful, affluent family – and how far they would go.”

King mixed fact with fic-tion and wrote a screenplay using epilepsy as the disease. He shot a three-minute trailer for $5,000 and was determined to make the feature-length film his thesis project.

But the problem is that “Hozon” is huge. Unconven-tional for a film school proj-ect, the film is a genre flick, a mixture of science fiction and horror that required cos-tumes and effects – and money. King had prepared a 240-page packet in February to try and get “Hozon” approved, approxi-mating the cost of the film at $500,000 to $700,000.

After crash, instructor finds bliss in yoga

BY ASHLEY VERHINESA&E [email protected]

Glancing at the Intramural Field on their way to school, past the pick-up soccer games, golf carts and powder puff football games taking place, students will see yoga classes in full ses-sion. Fifth-year philosophy stu-dent Marc Nguyen teaches the classes four to five days a week.

Nguyen originally got his start with yoga shortly after he was injured in a motorcycle acci-dent in September 2010. The exercise was suggested to him as a calming physical practice, he said, but ended up doing wonders for his shoulder. Now he is sharing his knowledge with fellow students as a pro bono yoga instructor on the Intramu-ral Field.

A couple years ago, Nguyen began taking classes at the John Wooden Center and later at YogaWorks, a popular yoga studio across Los Angeles. Yoga quickly became more than a

mere means of rehabilitation, as Nguyen soon adopted it as a lifestyle.

“The day that I decided to do yoga forever, it was after a class. I was walking and I didn’t have any thoughts for 30 sec-onds,” he said. “I was just this walking thing with the universe. And I (thought), ‘What is this? What am I feeling? What am I experiencing?’ It’s that sort of awareness, that sort of bliss that brings me back to practice every day.”

Nguyen began immersing himself in the practice of yoga and realized he wanted to teach others as well. In order to do so, he completed a 200-hour course from YogaWorks, certifying him to teach at gyms or privately.

“(YogaWorks) is so compre-hensive in (its) teaching,” he said. “And this is when I explod-ed as a person. It was like anoth-er chapter of life.”

Nguyen started volunteering with Yoga for Flexible Futures, a program that teaches yoga classes for kids in Los Ange-

les. He also began holding free classes in racquetball courts at the John Wooden Center to share his passion for the prac-tice with others. His classes grew by word of mouth and he soon had a handful of attendees at each of his hour-and-a-half-long classes.

However, his classes were repeatedly either relocated by racquetball players who had

first priority over the courts or broken up by gym staff for liabil-ity reasons.

“After about a month of doing that, I got the second warning,” he said. “I kept getting moved rooms, sometimes twice in one day. So I said, ‘That’s it, that’s the last straw. This is ruining the environment.’”

It’s hard enough for some people to pick out their own outfits in the morning,

yet UCLA’s costume designers have to pick out the outfits for an entire cast.UCLA graduate students in costume design

Jacqueline Martinez and Rebecca Guzzi turned the psychology of clothing into an art form in their

design theses presented at the annual Design Show-case West held in the Freud Playhouse on June 8. The showcase aims to give graduate design students from

different theater, film and television schools a chance to showcase their work to potential employers.

Each of the designers was given an 8-foot-long table to showcase their best work, or in the case of UCLA School of

Theater, Film and Television designers, their thesis projects. The designers were allowed to pick their own plays to design.

Martinez decided to choose a stage adaptation of “Pan’s Laby-rinth” for her thesis.“I wanted it to be pretty dark because I wanted to make sure there

was a correlation between the real world and fantasy world,” Martinez said. “It’s from the viewpoint of Ofelia’s dark mind, and my theory is that

some people’s imaginations are always based off of reality. If she’s always been involved with the disparity of war and desolation, she can only take her imagination so far.”

When reimagining the film version of “Pan’s Labyrinth” as a theatrical version, Martinez put a big emphasis on researching the political and regional influences during the period of the story to bring elements of historical accuracy into her designs. This approach was also prevalent in Martinez’s work when she designed the costumes for UCLA’s theater department’s musical “Spring Awakening” this year.

“That was one of the things she wanted to do when she first started designing the project,” said Caitlin Doolittle, a graduate student in

gave me a timeout. They shut it down and went through a month of consideration,” King said. “It looked crazy. The last time someone did this here was in 2002 with Justin Lin’s ‘Bet-ter Luck Tomorrow,’ and that was $250,000.”

UCLA has long i mp o se d len g t h r e s t r i c t i o n s o n thesis films. It was mostly out of neces-sity, as the cost of f i l m stock itsel f would have made most features finan-cial ly impossible. But w ith d ig ita l technology, times are changing, and King is blazing the trail for more ambi-tious student films.

“I’m always trying to break the rules; I was very transpar-ent about what I was trying to do from the moment I stepped into this school,” King said. “My vice chair told me that I was going to be the sacrificial lamb – the first through the fire.”

Fabian Wagmister, vice chair

of the production/directing program at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, was responsible for bringing about the policy change. He said that King’s proposal at the time was too ambitious.

Feasibility is the core to the change in policy, Wagmister said, not simply length.

“Before, there was a str ict time l imitation, which we simply el imi-nated,” Wagmister said. “Now students have to prove to us that their film is fea-sible and that it can be made, whether it’s five minutes or five hours.

K ing’s project, along with a num-ber of other propos-

als, contributed to this year’s more focused reconsideration of the rule, Wagmister said.

Gerren Crochet, who is co-producing “Hozon” and grad-uating from the production/directing program this year, is excited about the change.

“I think UCLA’s really show-ing its support for its students,” Crochet said. “It shows that our

school is staying on the cutting edge.”

King expresses the same excitement – he even cre-ated his own letter jacket for UCLA Film, to wear on set and express pride.

“Like I was telling Gerren, it makes for a good story,” King said. “It wasn’t a lot of yeses – it was a lot of nos. But in the end I can say that UCLA supported our film, and I can be proud to raise the UCLA Film flag high.”

One of the ways King is making good on UCLA’s sup-port is getting his film seen. Fiorela Canaj, a co-producer of the film who recently signed on, is helping with future dis-tribution.

With more than 15,000 likes on its Facebook page, there’s cer ta in ly an aud ience for “Hozon.” Leveraging recent sponsorships by ARRI and Panavision, the team is also launching a Kickstarter in order to cast genre actors that would please the fanbase.

“Dallas is very passionate and gets you excited about the work,” Canaj said. “Whether it’s limited release or video on demand, we want the film to be seen.”

Nguyen’s students suggested he move classes outside. How-ever, he initially refused because this conflicted with his training, which told him practicing out-side would distract the ability to meditate because of the expo-sure to bugs and other elements. But his inability to teach inside the Wooden Center made this the next best option.

“Now, (teaching) outdoors is my favorite thing to do in the world,” Nguyen said.

Many students have been inspired by Nguyen, said fifth-year philosophy student Radhali-la Reinhofer, who was so taken by his teaching that she has consid-ered the possibility of teaching yoga in the future.

“I never really thought of may-be one day trying to learn more (yoga) and then teaching it, but he makes it so fun-looking, that I’ve thought about it now,” she said.

Nguyen’s yoga sessions begin with asana, meaning “posture” or simply the practice of sitting still. Asana is the first step to achieving mental calm, Nguyen said. He then transitions into pranayama, or breath work. His ultimate goal is for his students to develop a sort of automatic meditation practice.

“His energy is very fresh,” Reinhofer said. “The way he talks and the way he walks around, he tries to make you comfort-able. He tells you, ‘You can do the awkward pose. It’s fine. It’s awkward; everyone knows. You don’t have to pretend like you’re some cool person doing the awk-ward pose.’”

Unfortunately for his stu-dents, Nguyen’s classes will soon come to an end. In August, he will travel to Can Tho, Vietnam, with a program called Volunteers in Asia. There, he’ll be teach-ing English to facilitate cultural exchange, another one of his pas-sions. He said he also hopes to teach yoga there.

Looking ahead to next June, when he returns to the U.S., Nguyen said he is unsure about his plans.

“People ask me, ‘Where do you see yourself in five years?’ and I really dislike this question,” Nguyen said. “But I know I’ll be doing yoga. It’s something I can do forever.”

Feeling of sharing work drives film-loving director

BY ALLISON GILVEZANA&E [email protected]

June 14 will be a busy day for filmmaker Jeremy White.

First, he has a directors’ lun-cheon to attend, then he has to make his way back to Westwood to receive his master’s degree from the UCLA School of Film and Television. Then, assuming there’s time, he’ll make his way over to the Los Angeles Film Festival, where his movie “The First Hope” is premiering.

It’s not every day a student creates and directs a film that is both opening the UCLA Film Festival and featured at the prestigious Los Angeles Film Festival.

For White, “The First Hope” is the culmination of a lifetime of sincere love of film. The short embodies this love in the story it tells, focusing on Johnny, a young boy watching “Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back” and fixating on the infa-mous kiss between Luke and Leia which leads Johnny to look at his sister with new eyes.

“This generation grew up learning social graces from the media they consumed and what results is a communal awkward-ness that connects us to each other,” White said.

According to White, the con-fusion that results from taking l ife cues from the movies we watch and forming our per-sonalities around these shared experiences of cinema is what

inspired “The First Hope.” For White, it’s all about connecting with the audience.

“Nothing compares to sitting in a theater for a movie you’ve made, not watching the movie but watching everybody else to see them react,” White said. “That’s a really special feeling, and it’s one of those intense drugs that you strive for but you can only get once in a while.”

Now, at 25, White is gradu-ating with his masters, hav-ing directed several films that have received awards or been featured in festivals, including one that was spotlighted by the Cannes Short Film Corner.

He’s already working on his next projects, which include “The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards,” a feature-length film produced by James Franco, and a companion short that he’s working on over the summer. It’s a career that White has been heading toward since chi ld-hood.

“I knew where I was going. I knew I wanted to go to film school. I’m a pretty stubborn dude; talking me out of it wasn’t an option,” White said. “It’s the high of getting to entertain people.”

Screenwriter Austin Reyn-olds, White’s close friend and col laborator who shares h is love for nostalgic film, noticed his friend’s drive and love for film early on. The two naturally gravitated toward each other and a partnership was born.

“He has these grand goals,

and (White’s) never not met his goals,” Reynolds said. “He was like, ‘I’m going to UCLA for grad school,’ and he only applied to UCLA. He put al l his eggs in one basket, and he nailed it. He wanted to do a movie; he did. He wanted to go to UCLA, and he’s here. He’s always able to finish what he starts.”

For White, nothing compares to storytelling, which he said is like solving puzzles and con-stantly trying new combinations until the work comes together and fits.

The communal feel ing of sharing his work with an audi-ence makes the long days of work worth it to him.

“The day that I wake up and I’m too exhausted to do this, that’s the day I should quit. Because it’s a privilege, to get to do this, to be at UCLA film school and make movies,” White said. “I take it very seriously.”

Cinematographer Phil Kluc-sarits, who was the director of photography for “The First Hope” and is a UCLA alumnus, said working with White as a director was a pleasure because he was always sure about what he wanted. White was always incredibly prepared for shoot-ing, which allowed Klucsarits and the rest of the crew to do their best work.

“He’s going to make mov-ies. I really don’t think there’s anything that could stop him. He’s so talented at crafting sto-ries; not to be cliche but the sky really is the limit for him,” Kluc-sarits said. “He knows exactly what he wants out of his career, and it’s only a matter of time before it’s accomplished.”

Masters student in the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, filmmaker Jeremy White is the director of the film “The First Hope,” which opens the UCLA Film Festival on June 7.

BUZZCLICKEJECT

Jeremy White’s short film, “The First Hope,” focuses on a boy, watching “Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back,” who fixates on Luke and Leia’s kiss and begins to look at his own sister differently.

In 2011, School of Theater, Film and Television student Tobit Raphael stood among a sea of students, ready to graduate and step into the real world. Now, Raphael will be seen all over the world with his role as nerdy Google intern Yo-Yo Santos in the summer blockbuster “The Intern-ship” alongside Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Aasif Mandvi and B.J. Novak.

Raphael sat down with Daily Bru-in’s Aalhad Patankar to talk about making it in Hollywood, working with the “Wedding Crashers” team, and his advice for graduating Bruins looking to follow their dreams.

Daily Bruin: Who is Yo-Yo Santos, and where did you get the inspiration to play him?

Tobit Raphael: My character, Yo-Yo, is a programmer. He is nervous, kind of socially awkward, and he has a lot of pressure from his family to suc-ceed, and he takes it out on himself a lot. As for my inspiration, I actu-ally used a lot of my theater training here because I knew he would need a lot of characterization. His physical-ity needed to be a little bit different than mine, so I kind of drew from other actors too that I really enjoyed. I really enjoyed Jesse Eisenberg’s style in “The Social Network,” and Mindy Kaling I think has a great sense of humor. That’s where I pulled from.

DB: Now you’re in a big-budget Hollywood movie. How did you get here? How did you land a role in “The Internship” as your first major film?

TR: I know, I know, it’s crazy because normally people would have to wait decades for an opportunity like this to come by, but I was lucky enough to get the audition through my manager. ... I believe they were trying to see everybody for the role, so they opened it up to a lot of new-comers. This was to my advantage because I had very few credits, actual-ly no credits, to my name. And things just started coming together. I audi-tioned about three times for the role, and I improved with Vince Vaughn. He was great, he was nice. And of course the program at UCLA helped me a lot for this role.

DB: What was the most unexpect-ed moment working with Vaughn and Wilson?

TR: What real ly surpr ised me about them was how nice they were, and how great of dads they are. They both brought their l ittle babies to set, who are so adorable, and they’re in love with their kids. It’s the most precious thing because in “Wedding Crashers” you see them as these play-boys who are smooth and cool, but when you see them with their kids it’s adorable.

DB: Let’s take it to back to UCLA. What were you involved in besides acting during your time here?

TR: I got to join Samahang Pilipino

at UCLA, which was great to meet friends, because I come from a very rich Filipino background and com-munity. I got to perform for culture night in Royce Hall, which is some-thing; it’s such a gorgeous venue, and I was a part of the theater and improv group of UCLA. ... My life revolved around performing, so I did mostly those kind of clubs. I also did Dance Marathon my sophomore, junior and senior year, and I still have all the shirts. ... There’s nothing like your first Dance Marathon, when you’re at “Power Hour,” you’ve been dancing for 25 hours and you’ve got one hour to go, and the whole Ackerman Grand Ballroom is together, dancing; it was so much fun.

DB: Just two years ago, you were a fresh graduate, and now you’re living your dream. What advice do you have for our graduating Bruins this year?

TR: I think keep your head up, and don’t compare yourself to anyone else, everyone’s different. Be good to your-self, be good to others, and do what you love. ... The entertainment indus-try is as difficult as they say it is, and it can be very frustrating. ... Just enjoy yourself, and know when to recognize those moments when you can let go of worrying, because I do believe it’s such a great privilege to have gradu-ated from such a great university. I do believe that everything is OK, and everything will be OK, if you keep a kind of optimism and positivity.

FAST president balances dual interests in fashion and science

BY REGINA NAPOLITANOA&E [email protected]

Jenni fer Lee was in the library when she found out she got an internship at Teen Vogue, so she and her best friend tried to celebrate as quietly as they could.

“We started silently freak-ing out and jumping all over (Young Research Library),” said Lee’s best friend and third-year global studies student Brigette Bleicher.

While at UCLA, Lee, a fourth-year computational and systems biology student, said she has worked hard to balance her dual interests in fashion and science.

She has interned at both The Reformation, an ecologically friendly clothing store that also has its own L.A. factory, and Amgen, a top biotech firm. How-ever, when Lee decided to go to New York this summer to take an unpaid internship at Teen Vogue, it also meant turning down a job offer from Amgen.

Lee said her scientific back-ground influences the way she designs. Lee said that unlike most designers, she likes to think logically and analytically

about how the lines and colors of her garments flow together and she always has a story line in her collections.

Lee recently started working on the preliminaries of a collec-tion that directly incorporates motifs like neurons and use of immunostaining.

Lee said the collection is based on the neon colors and electric feelings in the images in Life Sciences 3 and some biol-ogy lab work.

“(Lee’s) rare in that she’s extremely ta lented in two things. She’s a really smart girl who’s good at science, but she’s also a really creative, passionate person who has an eye for fash-ion and design,” Bleicher said.

Lee landed her internship at Teen Vogue in an unconven-tional manner. In the fall, Lee attended Teen Vogue Fashion University, an annual three-day conference in New York that fea-tures top fashion designers.

While there, she asked Teen Vogue’s editors if they consid-ered hiring people in the sci-ences. As a biology student, Lee said it has been difficult to get a fashion internship because people doubt her commitment to the trade.

After the panel, Lee ran up to Elaine Welteroth, Teen Vogue’s

beauty and health director who had answered Lee’s question, and told her how much she wanted an internship at the magazine. They stayed in touch after the meeting, and through the connection, she was eventu-ally offered the internship.

“I sprinted over there. I die after running the perimeter (of UCLA), but I think I ran faster when I was running to Elaine Welteroth,” Lee said.

Lee said that despite her affinity for fashion, she decided to pursue a degree in biology because she felt pressured by her parents to go into the sci-ences for the promise of a stable income.

However, while at UCLA, Lee said her love of fashion has grown. Lee created and taught a seminar this spring quarter to give students an opportunity to learn about fashion. Debo-rah Landis, a costume design professor at UCLA, helped Lee come up with her course’s cur-riculum.

“(Lee is) incredibly engaged, focused, enthusiastic, curious, she’s just exactly the kind of person I want to spend time with,” Landis said. “I think it’s amazing that (Lee) single-handedly brought this fashion class to campus, and its success is a great testimony to (Lee’s) imagination.”

Lee is also the president of the club Fashion and Student

Trends at UCLA and has pro-duced over six collections for their various shows.

With FAST at UCLA, Lee organized a sample sale at her sorority, Alpha Delta Pi, and an editorial photo shoot at the Los Angeles Zoo. In the last show, Lee made 11 pieces and got very little sleep in the process.

“They call me the one-wom-an sweatshop at my sorority. I post up in the kitchen at (Alpha

Delta Pi) and I wil l sew for hours on end,” Lee said. “I think this year I probably slept eight hours in eight days. As a biology major I know that’s definitely not good for you because you need to build ATP while you’re sleeping.”

Lee said she hopes she can combine her two passions in her future career and is con-sidering working with textiles in the creation of new fabrics

to combine her two passions. After Lee’s Teen Vogue intern-ship this summer, she plans to apply to graduate schools for fashion design and science.

“I love science, and it’s some-thing I hold very close to my heart, but I definitely need to try out this fashion thing because it’s this itch I’ve had since I was 6,” Lee said. “If I didn’t try it, I think I’d always look back and regret it.”

Experiences in choreography, teaching inform each other

BY NATALIE CHUDNOVSKYA&E [email protected]

Shortly after walking across the stage this June, Jacob Campbell will be packing his bags to move 5,834 miles around the globe.

In September, fourth-year world arts and cultures student Jacob Campbell will be moving to Madrid, Spain to fulfill a nine-month teaching assistant contract, while also pursu-ing dance and choreography. Camp-bell will be placed in public schools as a North American language and cultural aid to English teachers.

Campbel l said his passion for teaching and choreographing inform each other in ways that will be useful to him in a setting where language is a barrier.

“Choreography is a really men-tal process. It’s organizing bodies in space and time. And as far as class-room management, it’s a strong skill to get a group of people to do some-thing together,” he said. “Body lan-guage is going to be really key in the first couple weeks when I’m new to Spain and the students are still new to English and to me.”

Campbell said he hopes to per-form in Spain in a routine by Michel Kouakou, a world arts and cultures choreographer whom Campbell has worked with in the past. Campbell danced in Kouakou’s show last fall quarter when they toured the Ivory Coast, Germany and New York.

In Germany, Campbell and two fellow UCLA dancers choreographed and performed a piece alongside four

German students.“Even though we didn’t speak the

same language, we were still able to create this dance piece together. It was hard because communication is crucial so we had to be really patient with each other and find common ground.”

Although he doesn’t know much Spanish, Campbell does have signifi-cant experience teaching.

As a junior, Campbell designed and taught a unit on music video analysis at the UCLA Community School in Koreatown, a high school in an a community that doesn’t have regular access to arts education.

“We looked at what devices were used in the editing and the imagery – from there we had conversations about gender, race and sexuality,” Campbell said. “I really think what’s important about arts education is not that I’m going in to fix people, but that we’re talking about our lives and experiences and turn it into art, and through that medium we can all con-nect our stories.”

Barbara Drucker, director of arts education, associate dean of academ-ic affairs for the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture, and instruc-tor of records for Jacob’s teaching sequence, said she and the entire class started crying one day when Campbell discussed his experience in the classroom.

“He started crying because he was so moved by the openness, gratitude and responsiveness of the children – and therefore the importance of being an arts educator,” she said.

In Spain, Campbell will be working

16 hours a week, which will leave him time to pursue his other passions: choreography and dance.

“It’s important for me to pursue the art-making part of my career so that when I am teaching I have real experiences to draw from,” Campbell said.

First-year dance student Sean Santhon, who has performed Camp-bell’s choreography for the world arts and cultures/dance department’s senior project exhibit “Moving/Still,”

describes Campbell as an interdisci-plinary artist.

“His choreography is different from what the audience is used to because he always incorporates an extra element,” Santhon said. “He’s able to think beyond the stage and the dancers. He always brings in pro-jections or multimedia aspects.”

Campbell said he applies this mul-timedia approach to his teaching as well, which makes material relevant and keeps students engaged. He used

YouTube clips as well as iMovie while teaching his music video unit.

However, Campbell said ultimately it’s the human element of learning and teaching that is most rewarding.

“It’s so easy to let tech do every-thing, and that’s where dance and performing elements come in. I like to have the students moving and inter-acting with each other,” he said. “I think my art knowledge and multime-dia interest will definitely intersect in the Spanish-English environment.”

Songwriter mixes jazz training with pop passion for success

BY SHREYA AIYARA&E [email protected]

Filled with the sounds of guitar twangs and strums, Guitar Center is a hub of musical activity. It is also where Andrew Cedar caught the interest of Artist Publishing Group producer DJ Frank E, turning the casual hangout into a publishing deal.

“(When DJ Frank E and I went to Guitar Center) nobody knew I could play,” Cedar said. “I was introduced to DJ Frank E and he found out about my talent, so he took me in.”

Cedar, a fourth-year ethnomusi-cology student with an emphasis in jazz studies, writes Top 40 tracks for artists such as Flo Rida and B.o.B in collaboration with DJ Frank E.

Cedar combines his formal jazz training with his love of pop music to explore two different genres of music in a studio setting. With a formal training in jazz piano, Cedar enrolled in UCLA as a student in the ethnomu-sicology department to learn more about jazz and further his passion in music.

Under the tutelage of Kenny

Burrell, director of jazz studies at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, Cedar joined the Ellingtonia Orches-tra, a group named in honor of the renowned jazz musician Duke Elling-ton.

“(Cedar is) one of our outstanding students. ... I’ve known him for a few years now, and I’m very pleased (with his work),” Burrell said. “I know he’s going to have a really great future in music, and I’m glad to have him in the (Ellingtonia) Orchestra.”

During his fourth year at UCLA, Cedar began an internship at Atlantic Records and was introduced to art-ists and producers at Artist Publish-ing Group, which is affiliated with Atlantic Records. Cedar then signed a publishing deal with APG and is now writing pop tracks with DJ Frank E. The tracks will be used in the songs of artists such as Lupe Fiasco and Pitbull.

Fascinated by pop music and cul-ture, Cedar has constantly looked to new music to inspire him in his song-writing and to learn new things from different producers.

In order to learn as much as possi-ble, Cedar is not picky about the music he listens to and appreciates every artist’s contribution to pop music.

“I’ve always listened to the radio and have always listened to pop music, so even though I’m a jazz student I

always knew pop was what I wanted to do,” Cedar said. “Everything I listen to inspires me in some way or another.”

In writing his tracks, Cedar incor-porates themes and motifs from notable songs heard on the radio and borrows ideas from other producers. Even so, the writing process can be challenging, Cedar said.

“You never know when a track is finished. ... You can go back and forth and say, ‘This needs to be a little stronger,’ or just leave it as is until everyone’s satisfied,” Cedar said. “It can be a very long process or some-times it can be really quick.”

DJ Frank E said Cedar’s exten-sive music knowledge has helped the young musician learn the way the music business works and create a sophisticated and technically pol-ished sound.

“In jazz, it’s all about the tension and release. The same goes for pop music,” DJ Frank E said. “(Cedar is) over-prepared for what we’re doing, but he understands everything that’s going on just by listening to it.”

As director of the El l ingtonia Orchestra, Burrell said Cedar’s will-ingness to learn and drive to succeed in a group setting will ensure his suc-cess in the professional world among experienced musicians.

“(Cedar is) an example of how we’re trying to fulfill our mission. I

think he’s ready to go out into the real world and make a name for himself,” Burrell said. “He’s got all the musical equipment that will put him in good stead. We all still have to learn and we all still have to get better, but I think he’s ready to get on the launch-ing pad.”

Although Cedar said he still finds it difficult to believe that he is able to work with professionals and sign

under an official record label, his pas-sion for performing and working with people from all professions has helped him mature as an artist and person.

“I’m real ly grateful for al l the opportunities I’ve been given, and I couldn’t have gotten this far without the help of everyone at APG and DJ Frank E,” Cedar said. “But, in reality, getting signed is just an opportunity, so the real work is just starting now.”

BY BRENDAN HORNBOSTELA&E senior [email protected]

For a school that contains thou-sands of talented musicians yearn-ing for a space to perform, UCLA nightlife is characterized by Greek shindigs and apartment parties col-ored by Top 40 radio singles and electronic remixes from an iPod-connected speaker.

From time to t ime, however, nights at UCLA are much different.

Beginning with early jam ses-sions between music students, the

underground music scene at UCLA grew to host live music concerts that lasted deep into the night. Bands rounded up their friends and follow-ers and played to crowds of more than a hundred people.

Amplified by PA systems, drum sets and guitars, student bands developed their sounds and follow-ings through numerous open-mics and performances in apartments and courtyards on the weekends.

But as quickly as the scene began to attract students in large numbers, the music fizzled and the amps and drums were packed away.

Bands began to move out of West-wood to perform in larger Los Ange-les venues.

Stil l, they remember the noise and energy of their Westwood per-formances.

Most of these bands, including Alto, The Ten Thousand and Free Food, are graduating the last of their members this year and will be pursuing music careers, leaving behind only traces and memories of their Westwood concerts and the UCLA music scene, which is docu-mented in the compilation record, “DO U C L A!? Vol. 1.”

The beginnings of a UCLA music scene took place in the fall of 2010, when members of the student a cappella group Scattertones decided that stu-dent musicians needed a place to showcase their talents to the UCLA audience.

By January of 2011, Midvale Sessions, the brainchi ld of alumni Taylor Fugit and Aaron Rabkin, was presented at 447 1/2 Midvale Avenue.

“ T he ca l l that M idva le Sessions was attempting to answer was related to the fact that there wasn’t an intuitive and socially engaging music scene (at UCLA),” said alum-nus Russell Angelico, a former member of Scattertones. “It was about supporting original and new music, but in a way that takes it really seriously.”

M i d v a l e S e s s i o n s w a s scheduled every other Friday night from the end of Janu-ary to October 2011. Each night began with a short magic show by Rabkin, followed by a 45-minute set from a student band, and closed with another student band or covers by the Haus Band, a group composed of the apartment’s residents, Angelico said.

Many of the 11 concerts held at Midvale Sessions featured new bands at the time. These bands are stil l active today, recording music and playing shows all over Los Angeles.

“We inspired (the bands) to perform well, but not neces-sarily become super-polished,” Angelico said. “People were paying attention to the music. They were rav ing over the music. It was like a moment of being a celebrity for the bands.”

One of the bands that got its start at Midvale Sessions is the

indie-rock band Manzanita, who played under the name The Internship. The band was one of many that formed that year and began performing for energetic and packed crowds in the Midvale apartment.

“Being in (Midvale Ses-sions) ... it really felt l ike it captured that quintessential youthfulness of being in a col-lege band and playing a col-lege apartment,” said alumnus Moses Sumney, formerly a copy editor at the Daily Bruin. “We were still learning what it was to play music, what it was to interact with a crowd, but it was done in the most relaxed, fun environment possible.”

Like many that played at the venue, The Ten Thousand, a rock ‘n’ roll band that began by playing shows at Midvale Ses-sions, said their performances at the small Westwood apart-ment pushed them to become serious about performing in a band.

The intimate and approach-able atmosphere of Midvale Sessions fostered the birth of many UCLA student bands, along with an appreciation for live music from the audience, said alumnus Matthew Fle-sock, who helped found Mid-vale Sessions.

For the first time, student bands were able to organically perform in front of engaged audiences, he said.

By October of 2011, howev-er, Midvale Sessions had seen the end of its reign. Ceilings had been cracked, PA systems broken and police-attracting noise levels had shaken the music of the Westwood night-life.

“It gave me a lot of faith in disorganized, young, inexpe-rienced people,” Angelico said.

Soon after Midvale Sessions began holding live music, the Westwood music scene began to spread to other venues.

The first of these was The Treehouse, an apartment complex on Strathmore Avenue that began holding open-mic concerts in April 2011.

The indie-folk group Alto – then a duo made up of now-fourth-year ethno-musicology student Nicolette Yarbrough and fourth-year music performance and education student Jessica Jones – first played at The Treehouse in 2011.

“We had a really good experience,” Yarbrough said about Alto’s performance at The Treehouse. “It was the end of the night, and all these people were on the floor sitting around. It was the only time that’s ever happened in there. People responded well, and it was the first vali-

dation of what we were doing.” The artist community of The Tree-

house welcomed a range of genres and styles that promoted live music, said Oliver Brown, lead vocalist of the funk-rap group Free Food. With the addition of The Treehouse and other venues in Westwood, music adopted its communal roots and spread through the formation of numerous student bands at UCLA.

“People really wanted it,” Jones said. “They wanted something to go to. For us, it built a community. We’re all in very different bands with different types of music, but we’re all buddies. And I think that is a result of that type of thing.”

By May 2011, UCLA Radio had begun hosting concerts at the University Coop-erative Housing Association apartment building, packing the outdoor courtyard

with amplified guitars, roaring drums and plenty of screams from the bands as well as the audience.

With the variety of venues surround-ing Westwood growing, bands sharp-ened their skills and used the shows as launching pads for shows in West Los Angeles and further out into Los Angeles.

“We grew up in front of crowds,” said Braeden Henderson, fourth-year ethno-musicology student and frontman for the garage-rock band Owl Fly South. “We had a lot of shows at the beginning where we went up and sucked, but it benefited us in terms of the larger L.A. scene and the Echo Park scene, because we played so many shows by all the opportunities at UCLA that by the time we were good, we were ready to tackle the bigger scene.”

Branching Out

Drummer immersed in music world through his bands, internship

BY ANDREA SEIKALYA&E [email protected]

Sometimes, being in the right place at the right time can make all the difference. For fourth-year ethnomusicol-ogy student Forrest Mitchell, it helped him land an internship at Atlantic Records.

“The internship was sort of a tip from a friend who’s actu-ally doing really well there,” Mitchell said. “He put me in touch with the woman who deals with all the internships there. I turned in my resume and she got promoted. It was a right place, right time connec-tion-based sort of thing.”

Mitchell started his intern-sh ip at the start of spr ing quarter and said it has been a great opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of the music industry. Beyond making copies and logging data, Mitchell said he has also learned about the f inancial and business aspects of Atlan-tic Records by working with his boss, Charles Bergmann, who is the studio manager and

assistant to the company’s president of worldwide artists and repertoire.

“(Bergmann) basically man-ages the whole studio in Holly-wood, so he’s being exposed to all facets of the music industry at a major record label,” Mitch-ell said. “I’m able to see what he’s doing and learn from him directly, because I’m basically his assistant.”

A l o n g w i t h a c a d e m i c demands and intern ing at the record label, he has also remained a faithful member of UCLA-based band Free Food and the group he has played drums in since high school – The Thirstbusters.

Mitchell said his immedi-ate plan is to stay at Atlantic Records as long as he can, and he enjoys working and learning about the artists and repertoire side of the music industry.

A typical day on the job can be fairly unpredictable, depending on what the compa-ny’s needs are and what Berg-mann asks him to do. Mitch-ell’s responsibilities range from clerical tasks to answering calls and interacting with vis-

iting artists. Within the realm of A&R,

Mitchell is often responsible for looking for new talent for the label, which can be a daunt-ing task. As a musician, Mitch-ell said it is often difficult to decide which types of music gets presented to the label and which artists are turned down.

“It’s really funny because in a lot of ways I’m like the bad guy to my former self,” Mitch-ell said. “I’ve already been in situations where I’m deciding whether or not we even look at various artists that get sent in. I’m on the other side of the table.”

Mitchell also said there are a variety of factors that he must consider when evaluating prospective artists, including their marketability and what is trending in the music world.

“It’s a lot of hypothesizing, and then just using my own ear and my own experience with music. We’re mainly look-ing at vocalists right now, and I can tell what a certain per-son’s experience level is or how much training they’ve had by watching their videos and lis-tening to their recordings,” Mitchell said.

Mitchell said that this A&R

experience has helped him and his band resolve debates and figure out how to spend their time and get noticed.

“So many of those questions are being answered just from me being in the studio,” Mitch-ell said. “Of course, it’s just one label’s take on it, but it gives you a pretty good idea of what people are looking for right now, so that’s been huge.”

Mitchel l and h is Th irst-busters bandmates, including four th-year ethnomusicol-ogy student Ryan Thomas and childhood friend Chase Jack-son, will perform at The Roxy Theatre on June 20 and also hope to record an EP over the summer.

Jackson said he and Mitchell first played together in their middle school jazz band. He said Mitchell’s goal has always been to pursue music and learn as much as possible about the industry.

Thomas, who met Mitchell as a member of the Berkeley High School jazz ensemble, said he understands Mitchell’s time constraints.

“He’s learning a bunch of stuff over there, and he relates it back to us,” Thomas said. “It’s constant work. ... We try

to make the most of it and whenever we have a spare sec-ond we’re working on original songs or doing business stuff or working on our social media.”

Although he is still passion-ate about performing and cre-ating original music, Mitchell said this internship has also helped him develop other inter-ests related to the music indus-try. Mitchell plans to continue his A&R duties with Atlantic Records through the summer,

and said he hopes to secure a permanent position with the record company.

“I real ly was super hard-set on being a performer, and that’s still the No. 1 goal, but since I am graduating and it’s kind of now or never, I’m try-ing to cultivate an industry-business side as well and make connections so I have multi-ple options,” Mitchell said. “I wouldn’t have thought to do A&R before.”

Sounds like WESTWOOD

Manzanita(formerly The Internship)

October 2012By 2012, Midvale Sessions

had closed and shows at The Treehouse and the Co-op had become irregular. The bands that had sprouted up around Midvale needed new territories to explore and began to move toward play-ing shows in Si lver Lake, Echo Park and central Los Angeles.

A f ter w inn ing Spr ing Sing in 2012, Alto took to touring in the fall, taking the sounds of Westwood to new audiences. The Ten Thousand also began per-forming outside Westwood, playing in Santa Barbara in May 2012 and securing a residency at the Los Globos club in Silver Lake in Janu-ary.

In May, Owl Fly South played at The Echo, and Moses Sumney, a former Daily Bruin copy editor, of Manzanita will be perform-ing a residency at Bootleg Theater this month.

As bands branch out to play larger venues, record thei r music and expand their fan bases, the years they played in Westwood remain some of the fond-est memories of their music careers, said Dylan Robin,

fourth-year psychology stu-dent and lead guitarist for The Ten Thousand.

For Robin, the differenc-es between playing at a for-mal venue such as Bootleg Theater in East Los Angeles and a makeshift venue in the North Village are noticeable.

“It’s really fun to play a show at the Bootleg,” Robin said. “Even i f you have a bunch of people come and it’s a great show at a real venue, but even that doesn’t compare to blowing the Co-op open and just having it be a crazy rager.”

In order to document the sound of the Westwood music scene of the past years, The Ten Thousand recently assembled a compi-lation album, “DO U C L A!? Vol. 1,” that featured Free Food, Owl Fly South and Alto, among many others.

By cementing their place in the minds of students who saw them perform and new students who hear their music, the bands of the UCLA music scene graduate with countless memories, from The Internship per-forming in a parking lot to The Ten Thousand playing in front of police.

As the underground music scene that began with Midvale Sessions enters its third year and more student musicians graduate, moving into the greater L.A. music scene, band members said they are proud of the sounds and shows they leave behind.

Kevin Daye of The Ten Thousand said he hopes that the torch will be picked up by future students. Within a school of

talented musicians, the nightlife at UCLA yearns for live music.

“There is an audience for what we’re doing,” Robin said. “The thing is, before some of these venues popped up, there just wasn’t a place for us to go. It’s a really obvi-ous thing that these places popped up and they’re full all the time. ... We appreciate all different kinds of music, and that’s why I think this scene is really positive.”

With the graduating musicians leave behind a strong legacy in Westwood, the future of the music scene at UCLA remains up in the air, waiting for a new group of student musicians to take the reigns.

The audience is present and the space is there. The possibility of a second vol-ume of UCLA student-produced music will be in the drum sticks and picks of a new generation.

costume design. “She saw the Broadway production and was like, ‘That’s interesting, but it’s the 1890s. Let’s bring some historical research into it. Let’s bring some sex appeal into the girls by giving them waistlines!’”

Mar t inez, who received her undergraduate degree in costume design from Florida International University, didn’t always know she wanted to be a costume designer.

“I started off as an actor, but they always used to have us par-ticipate in all aspects of theater,” Martinez said. “Eventually they threw me into the costume shop, and when I finished building my first dress from scratch and saw

it on an actress on stage, I was more proud of that moment than any moment I was ever on stage.”

Guzzi also had a career-changing experience during her undergraduate years.

“It wasn’t really until my first year of undergrad that I took a costume design class and real-ized that one, I didn’t have to sit in a cubicle, and two, it not only incorporates theater but you have to know art history, world history and American history,” Guzzi said. “I’m a history nut too, so I went home and called my mom and was like, ‘I found out what I want to do with my life.’”

Guzzi utilized that passion for history when she decided to pick an 1850s operatic version of

“Alice’s Adventures in Wonder-land” for her thesis.

“I wanted to do a creepy tech-nology-infused version of ‘Alice in Wonderland,’” Guzzi said. “I wanted the principle characters to have technological associa-tions, like the caterpillar is asso-ciated with drug culture and opium. All the characters have their own things going on.”

Both designers had to create a series of illustrations depict-ing their designs to be used as a form of communication between themselves and a theoretical director and to help create the characters’ moods and person-alities.

Guzzi said that when people see her illustrations, they often ask why she isn’t a fashion

designer. “People are always like, ‘Oh

my god, why aren’t you a fashion designer?’ And I’m like, ‘Because I don’t want to sit in a room by myself and create clothes for a characterless person in my mind,’” Guzzi said.

Martinez said she agreed and explained that a fashion designer’s ultimate goal is to sell, whereas a costume design-er’s ultimate goal is to help tell a story.

“In costume design, unlike fashion design, you can dress people badly, and that will be fun,” Martinez said. “But you can do that because that goal is not to sell that costume; it’s to sell the story. It’s like psychology through clothing. It’s great.”

With the year coming to a close, we wanted to take the opportunity to introduce ourselves and the

direction prime magazine will take next year. As a quarterly publication, prime magazine allows us

to dig deeper and feature a wide array of cultures on campus, emphasizing the readers in hopes of

bringing the community together around a collective identity of shared experiences. It is our goal as

editors to get to know you, your friends, your interests and to tell your stories.

Food spreads, student fashion, crafts and little-known hobbies that might otherwise get lost in the
