Regents Vote to Change Student Fees to Tuition
SAN FRANCISCO — In a move that has stirred debate and raised questions about California’s future financial obli-gations to its public universities, a joint committee of the UC Board of Regents voted Wednesday to change the name of university educational fees to tu-ition, acknowledging the state’s declin-ing funding for the university system.
While the wording change — which is expected to be approved by the full board today — has no impact on the university’s use and level of student charges, opponents of the proposal say the change marks an abandonment of the foundational mission of a tuition-free university. The UC states the change will improve transparency by admitting that fee revenue funds a majority of the university’s basic operations.
While the state’s 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education defines “tuition” as charges for teaching expenses and “educational fees” as charges for ser-vices not directly related to instruc-tion, during the recession of the early 1990s, systemwide fees skyrocketed to compensate for reductions in state fi-nancial support, and educational fees were increasingly used to cover in-structional and other related costs.
“Claiming to be a ‘tuition-free’ in-stitution is no longer meaningful for the University of California,” the action item for the change states. “Although financial aid has preserved the spirit of ‘tuition-free’ education for low-income students, all three higher education segments in California now charge California students for educational and instructional costs.”
While the name change acknowl-edges that student fees, rather than

state funding, are being increasingly used to cover instructional costs, the implications of the change are cause for debate. The UC’s proposal acknowl-edges that the adoption of the term tu-ition could be seen as an abandonment of the “tuition-free university.”
Kevin Woolfork, a budget policy coordinator at the California Postsec-ondary Education Commission, said the renaming should be considered a “practical change” rather than an abandonment of efforts to increase state funding for the UC, and should not be seen as a barrier to future state support in better economic times.
“This change is kind of a nod to re-ality that state support in terms of the total amount of money the UC gets has been waning,” he said. “With every budget and recession, there is a hope that the state will eventually be able to move the clock back in terms of will-ingness to pay for higher education. Right now, the UC is sober to the real-ity the money just isn’t there to do so.”
While some have stated the name change more honestly describes the cost of a public education in California, state Assemblymember Ira Ruskin, D-Redwood City, said it does so at the expense of the state’s higher education goal of providing affordable, quality education to eligible Californians.
“Ultimately, the state ... will need to establish a policy that specifies what part of education is a public investment in our state’s prosperity and what part our stu-dents will need to pay,” said Ruskin, who chaired the latest decennial review of the state’s master plan, in an e-mail.
Since the educational fee was estab-lished by the regents in 1970 to cover construction and non-instructional

Regents’ Meeting Marred by unrest
SAN FRANCISCO — As the UC Board of Regents met at UC San Francisco Wednesday, violent skirmishes broke out between police officers and students protesting an impend-ing 8 percent fee increase, resulting in 13 arrests throughout the day.
During the height of the demon-stration, police doused more than a dozen protesters with pepper spray as a crowd of 300 amassed outside the meeting. In the day’s most dra-matic moment, a UCPD officer drew his pistol and pointed it at a crowd of protesters after they swarmed him and he dropped his baton.
Eleven UC students were arrested — including seven from UC Berkeley — and one student from UC Merced was charged with a felony for allegedly striking a UCPD officer

City Sees Decrease in Crime over Past Year
In a Tuesday presentation to the Berkeley City Council, the Berkeley Po-lice Department revealed 2010 crime statistics for the first time, indicating a continuing decrease in major crime, but falling short of meeting the depart-ment’s goal.
The data — made public last Thurs-day — showed a decrease in the num-ber of major crime incidents between 2009 and 2010 for the first nine months of each year, marking at least the sixth year in a row such a decrease has occurred, according to crime re-ports issued by the department.
But the reduction was not enough to meet the department’s goal of de-
by Tomer OvadiaContributing Writer
creasing the number of major crimes — known as Part I crimes — by 10 percent, a goal set by the chief and the department’s command staff in Janu-ary, according to Berkeley police Sgt. Mary Kusmiss, a spokesperson for the department.
In an interview Wednesday, Kusmiss initially said the data indicated that “the department has met that goal.” But she later acknowledged that be-cause the number of Part 1 crimes that occurred between January and Sep-tember decreased by only 8 percent be-tween 2009 and 2010, the 10 percent goal was not met.
“So the Daily Cal is correct in that the combined Part 1 reduction is 8 per-cent,” she said. “So we have been just shy of meeting our consistent, con-
tinual 10 percent reduction goal in all Part 1 crimes.”
The crime report is the first direct disclosure of crime statistics by the de-partment since June 2009. Figures for all of 2009 were already available from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which reviews and publishes data from the department yearly. No statistics for 2010 had previously been available.
Kusmiss said the goal to decrease Part 1 crimes by 10 percent is ongoing in that it has no deadline and does not require meeting the decrease as soon as possible.
“The leadership of the department doesn’t offer it with any kind of dis-claimers, provisos,” she said. “That is the goal, and let’s constantly be figur-ing out ways to achieve that on a daily

Following more than five months of drawn-out negotiations, the University of California and a union representing nearly 12,000 academic student employ-ees reached an agreement Tuesday night, but there is still debate over whether union members will ratify the contract, as some union members assert that their leaders made unnecessary concessions.
Officials from the UC and the United Auto Workers Local 2865 — a union representing graduate student instruc-tors, readers and tutors throughout the UC system — met in Los Angeles Tues-day and were able to reach a tentative agreement on previously contentious is-sues, including fee remittances for GSIs, child care subsidies and wage increases, according to Daraka Larimore-Hall, the union’s northern vice president and a UC Santa Barbara graduate student.
The next step is to have the union members vote whether to ratify the contract, but some members have voiced opposition to the ratification.
Voting will occur Nov. 29 through Dec. 2, and a simple majority of mem-bers who vote across all 10 campuses is required for ratification. The union’s current contract has been extended — for the fifth time — through Dec. 4 to accommodate the process.
“The tentative agreement is really good, especially considering the cur-

rent budget situation,” Larimore-Hall said. “There were no giveaways or loss-es — only gains.”
The agreement includes a 2 percent wage increase for each of the three years covered by the contract, guar-antees that any changes in the termi-nology from “fees” to “tuition” will not impact GSI fee remissions and nearly triples the contract childcare subsidy, by doubling regular subsidies and in-cluding subsidies for GSIs working in the summer, according to Nick Kar-dahji, a UC Berkeley graduate student and the union’s recording secretary.
“We are very pleased to have reached what we believe is a fair agreement and one that recognizes both the contribu-tions our student employees make to UC’s teaching mission and the bud-getary challenges we face,” said Peter Chester, UC’s chief negotiator for the contract, in a statement from the UC Office of the President.
However, while some union leaders are asserting that the tentative agree-ment is a victory, there is dissent among rank-and-file members, according to Megan Wachspress, a UC Berkeley grad-uate student and union member. Three members of the bargaining team from UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz did not sign the agreement because they were not satisfied, Wachspress said.

Holy hand grenade! It’s here ... almost.
Time has melted away. Hundreds of pages lay semi-crinkled in the muddled wake of a semester’s reading assignments, papers have somehow written themselves and an analogy for the workload of UC Berkeley has formed in my brain.
Ha! Like I’m going to tell you what it is yet. Keep reading, dear friend, and maybe I’ll be generous at the end of this brief communique. After all, it’s nearly the holiday season.
And that’s what makes the end of the semester that much sweeter. As we complete the academic marathon that is a UC Berkeley fall, I feel like it’s safe to say everyone finds solace knowing that the Yul-a-rama-hana-kwanza-mas season is also upon us.
But, you might say, there’s still finals and more papers, and somehow, somewhere in some crazy program, some poor souls still have a midterm to take in the interim.
Meh. Those are just minute details at this point. Lest we forget that the end of fall means the beginning of winter, and comforting memories of the holidays of yore create a special place where we can hide from the aca-demic perils that await us after Thanksgiving.
When pumpkin spice lattes hit the hands of baristas all over the land a few weeks back, the transition began. And my olfactory glands immediately shuddered.
This response is merely one of mus-cle memory for my poor senses. The overabundance of nutmeg immedi-ately brings up one of the most har-rowing of my holiday memories.
It all began one summer afternoon. I was but a young sprout of maybe
five years. Mischief was my confidant, and we made good friends.
I remember that it was hot, and not just 80-degree, no air conditioning Berkeley hot. It was high summer, thick humidity, Louisiana swamp hot. There are many wonderful things about growing up in The Boot, but the heat certainly does not make the list.
My mother must have recently gone to the store, the refrigerator was packed with a fresh bounty befitting of a middle-class family of four. There was bread, vegetables, a couple of gal-lons of milk and eggs galore. And a bored child gazing at them.
I’m not sure where my parental units were when my master plan hit me. Like I said, I was a little kid. Some of the details are a bit fuzzy, but they matter not.
All I know is that I saw a whole lot of milk and eggs. I also know that I knew something about eggnog — mostly that it was some sort of milky egg drink that tasted pretty good — but something nonetheless.
As I stared at the open refrigerator my plan was hatched.
You see, before I joined the Army and after my discharge, I was a chef. I loved working in restaurants in Loui-siana. The culture of food there is sec-ond to none.
It is obvious to me now as I reflect on the story that I have once again
digressed from, that I was destined to be a cook at some point during my adult life.
My five-year-old self ’s ill fated plan certainly sealed the deal.
Anyways, back again to the gaping fridge.
I raised my self onto my tippy toes and grabbed a gallon of skim milk with both hands. I proceeded to lug it outside to the back porch just outside our home’s sliding glass portal.
Then, I returned to the ice box and picked up a carton of eggs, nabbed an unsuspecting whisk from the dish-washer and returned to the scene of the imminent crime.
I carefully cracked the eggs open one by one and poured their contents into a five gallon bucket, placing the empty shells back into the carton. I then added the gallon of milk and whisked with all my might.
When my potion was complete, I returned the egg carton to its
rightful place inside its chilly home. As I went back inside, I closed the door and the blinds, leaving behind the evi-dence that would damn me later.
After the now-empty eggs were back where they belonged, I summar-ily forgot about my cocktail sitting outside in the blazing sun.
I’m not sure how much time passed, but my mother eventually noticed the missing gallon of milk. She eventually caught a glimpse of it through the French blinds of the back door sitting on the porch next to the bucket.
The next thing I remember I was standing next to my concoction underneath her fiery glare, begging for clemency which I would not be awarded. Instead, my prize was to sample my new homebrew, a moment that forever destroyed my enjoyment of the comforting holiday drink called eggnog.
Fear not, faithful readers. I sur-vived, but the trauma from this expe-rience persists. The end-of-the-semes-ter brain lethargy makes me wish it was time for cookies and peppermint hot chocolate.
Alas, my brain feels like a scram-bled mess right now. For me, my first term of work here has felt like trying to sip from a fire hose.
Just like everyone here, however, I can get used to it. So long as I don’t have to drink any eggnog when it’s all over.

in the head with his own baton, ac-cording to Pamela Roskowski, UCSF’s police chief. She said given the crowd’s aggressive nature the officer “showed great restraint,” adding that he acted in self defense in the face of shouts from some demonstrators to “take his gun.”
Alejandro Lara-Briseno, an alum-nus of UC Berkeley who witnessed the event, said that in fact, the officer hit a student with his baton with such force that the baton bounced out of his hand. Facing the crowd, the officer panicked, pulled his gun and aimed it at students, according to Lara-Briseno.
“Nobody actually struck an officer,” he said. “We were, on the other hand, struck by them, for no reason other than we were linking arms, we were chanting.”
Clashes broke out between police and protesters around 9 a.m. as the two groups gathered on opposite sides of UCPD barricades on the east side of UCSF’s Mission Bay Community Cen-ter. Without warning, police officers began pepper spraying protesters after some in the crowd began pulling bar-ricades away from the officers. As the
crowd threw rocks and wooden signs at officers, police responded with more pepper spray.
“I was in the very front and there were 150 people pushing me forward,” said UC Berkeley graduate student Callie Maidhof as she rinsed her eyes after being pepper-sprayed. “I can’t walk, I got jabbed in the leg and every time I blink, it’s worse.”
Members of the American Federa-tion of State County and Municipal Employees Local 3299 and University Professional and Technical Employees unions — as well as student activists from several UC campuses — first sur-rounded the building where the regents were meeting at around 7:30 a.m. The majority of arrests occurred after the UCPD officer who was swarmed by the protesters called for back-up.
As police in riot gear ran up a short stairwell to the parking garage where the officer was located, dozens of pro-testers threw themselves on the of-ficers, pushing them back down the stairwell.
Police responded by arresting six of the protesters, including ASUC Ex-ternal Affairs Vice President Ricardo
Gomez, who was also pepper sprayed earlier. As of press time, three of the 13 arrested had been released and had re-turned to UC Berkeley.
As the protests unfolded outside, UC President Mark Yudof made an impassioned plea to the board inside, telling them proposed fee increases and pension cuts were necessary given the financial crisis the state is facing. Other university officials — includ-ing UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau and Academic Senate Chair Daniel Simmons — said they support raising fees by 8 percent to $11,124 per year for the 2011-12 academic year.
Russell Gould, chair of the board and former director of the state’s de-partment of finance, called the state’s looming two-year $25 billion budget deficit historic in its size, adding that he expects the UC to face more cuts when the state legislature meets to close a $6 billion deficit for the current fiscal year.
“This is more fundamental — this is enduring,” Gould told the board.

student services costs, it has expanded to cover instructional and other univer-sity-related costs as state funding for the UC declines. While the first educational fee in 1975 was $300, it has since grown to $10,302, a number that will increase to $11,124 next year if the regents ap-prove an 8 percent fee hike today.
The plan is an honest one, said John Vasconcellos, a retired state senator and assemblymember who chaired the first two reviews of the state’s master plan. But he added that the ideal of the tuition-free California education has been “tragically lost.”
“The idea of a tuition-free education is one that should be cherished, one that has been regrettably changed to reflect the current reality of our times and one that should not be entirely for-saken,” he said.

basis. So (the chief) never had any kind of strict framework for it.”
The number of violent crime incidents decreased by 17 percent between 2009 and 2010 for the nine-month period, while property crime decreased by 7 per-cent. The reductions include decreases in the numbers of homicides, rapes, rob-beries, aggravated assaults, larceny and auto thefts. Burglary was the only listed crime to increase, by 6 percent.
The data does not include crime that occurred on UC Berkeley property.
The department claims its major organizational restructuring — imple-mented on Sept. 19 — as well as its adoption of the CompStat model for addressing crime trends and creation of a Crime Analysis Response Strate-gies team in May have contributed to the decrease.

cern and resentment that the union leadership should have been much, much stronger in fighting for a wage increase, given the strong position we entered negotiations in,” she said.
Kardahji said the agreement reflects a growing disconnect between union leaders and other members, resulting
from a lack of inclusion of rank-and-file members in the past few years.
“The effect has been that union leaders are increasingly becoming dis-connected from people they represent, and we saw that play out in situations like this,” Kardahji said.

forget that Muniz did not create the film himself. during the shots of Mu-niz’s photo sessions at the landfill, he proves to be as adept an interviewer as a documentary filmmaker, making the workers feel at ease as they confess their hopes for the future while posing for his camera.
other times, Walker’s filmmaking appears to amplify the effect of Mu-niz’s photography. over the course of the three years the footage was col-lected, Walker construct-ed her own decidedly artistic representation of life in Jardim Grama-cho while documenting Muniz taking the workers’ portraits. the lingering close-ups of individual facial expressions and distant shots of imposing trash heaps make for a stunning visual display perhaps more evoca-tive than Muniz’s staged studio work.
“Waste land” dispels common depictions of the world’s poor as helpless masses, instead showing how individu-als can do great things if given access to the right opportunities. Muniz’s commentary emphasizes the role of circumstance in determining a person’s social status, and indeed, many of the workers featured in the film came from lower-middle class families (much like the artist himself ) but fell on hard times and were forced to choose between Jardim Gramacho and prostitution or the drug trade.
as his ideas for “Pic-tures of Garbage” grow more ambitious, Muniz collaborates with the workers in the production process of his artworks and gives each person the profit from his or her portrait. Watching these individuals transform as they realize their power to shape their destiny, it’s impossible not to be grateful for the basic conditions many take for granted in our part of the world. after all, it’s one thing to come from noth-ing, but wholly another to emerge out of a veritable “Waste land.”

Vik Muniz Studio/CouRtESY
Cynics, beware — lucy Walker’s “Waste land” will
inject even the coldest, most shriveled of hearts with a healthy dose of faith in humanity. Shot in Brazil’s Jardim Grama-cho, the world’s largest landfill, the new docu-mentary exposes one art-ist’s ambitious attempt to help the poverty-stricken workers who make their living hiking the putrid garbage mounds in search of recyclables to sell.
though it rings of a classic rags-to-riches theme, the film carefully avoids condescension by focusing on a handful of workers’ heartrending individual life struggles as photographer Vik Muniz uses his project, “Pictures of Garbage,” to inspire and financially aid them. Born in Sao Paolo, Muniz expresses many times that he, too, could have ended up a trash “picker” rather than a celebrated Brook-lyn artist. But rather than becoming a patronizing daddy Warbucks figure to the workers, Muniz’s sensitivity to Brazilian culture and awareness of his role as an outside benefactor make him a competent guide through the film’s social terrain.
one of Muniz’s photographs depicts an 18-year-old mother of two, draped in fabric with her children like tragic saints in a makeshift orthodox icon. Viewing the image alone, it would be difficult to believe that the same beautiful young woman had spent years at Jardim Gramacho before the photo was taken, enduring a never-ending smell of rotting filth while she labored amid the trash, away from her fam-ily. But as this woman, Suelem, and several fellow workers of diverse backgrounds relate their reasons for ending up at the landfill, both Muniz and the viewer become engrossed in their indi-vidual lives and invested in their personal success.
Walker’s vision as the director and Muniz’s goals for his art project seem perfectly synchronized, and at times it’s easy to

So here we have arrived at last, my brave warriors, at an examination of the quintessential sellout, as
embodied by the freecreditscore.com band.
Now, you may be shaking your head and thinking, “Oh no, Hannah, our proud leader, you have erred: It’s freecreditreport.com, not freecred-itscore.com!” To which I reply: Oh no no no, little pomegranates, things have changed. I will weave you the story.
The old band, promoting freecred-itreport.com, was 100 percent fake. Posing as scruffy twenty-somethings stuck in crappy jobs, these fellows sang of the woes of falling prey to ignorance about one’s credit score. The commer-cials were funny and, dare I say it, meta.
There they were, a group of actors, who probably wanted to be in M. Night Shyamalan movies but ended up in a commercial for a free credit checking website that’s not actually free. (Sorry to shit on your fire, but these sites actu-ally run a subscription service — the only actual FTC-sanctioned place you can receive a free credit score is annual-creditreport.com.)
The website is run by Experian, a credit bureau based in Irvine. Senior VP and chief marketing officer of Experian Chris X. Moloney explained to brandweek.com that the reason for a recent switch to a new brand, freecred-itscore.com, was not due to trouble with the FTC: “We’re diversifying our products and we haven’t eliminated a product because of regulatory reasons,”
he said, presumably before lighting a cigar and fondling his pet chinchilla.
So there’s a new brand, and with it, a new band. An actual band. After a na-tionwide search, Detroit rock band the Victorious Secrets clinched the prize of being freecreditscore.com’s official band and a bunch of corporate tools.
If I were a reporter, and if this were a news story, I would give you a thorough background of this band, and I’d get to be on the front page with an impressive headline. But here we are, children of the night, tucked away in the middle pages of this paper, lost forever, like old spoons dropped behind the refrigerator by a mother who had something else on her mind.
But the point is, freecreditwhateveri-tisnow.com is not just using rock and roll to push their brand, they are trying to equate their band with rock itself. Because nothing says rock-and-roll like personal financial responsibility. As Mick Jagger once sang, “I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes / I have to turn my head until I get my taxes done.”
We have one of two scenarios hap-pening here: Art is moving towards advertising, with greater and greater control by corporations, a process that I will term in-corporation. Or alter-natively, we have advertising moving towards art.
Neither of these cases can fully rep-resent the situation — because both are happening together. And, my cumber-some ducks, this new commercial is pretty good. I might not even mute it if I saw it on TV. It has a catchy tune. The band seems (and seeming is what is important) to be genuine, charming, funny.
Would I tap the bassist? Yes. Yes, I probably would.
The ads get better, the art gets worse. But are we really mourning the loss of a little band from Detroit?
Notreallyfreecreditscore.com is trying to subsume itself entirely in the world of art, but like a fat kid trying to hide in the shallow end, the jelly rolls of insincerity will inevitably float to the surface and give the game away. After a dozen or so weeks, I’m not yet convinced that if the intent is to plug a product, you can call something art.
I have one more column in which to change my mind.

Soares Named Pac-10 Player of the Year in Bears’ Title Run
Conference play is over for the Cal men’s soccer team.
The Bears (12-2-3, 8-1-1 in the Pac-10) are back in the postsea-son, with the sixth seed in the NCAA tournament and a Pac-10 title.
Along with the Pac-10 trophy, the Bears garnered six All-Pac-10 team spots, Coach of the Year and Player of the Year.
Part of the forward movement has come from senior A.J. Soares, the anchor in Cal’s stingy back line unit that allowed only 13 goals over the 17 games this season.
The 170-pound defender earned the distinction of Pac-10 Player of the Year, his third all-Pac-10 honor over the course of his illustrious collegiate career.
“It is an honor to be in the category with the other players who have won it in the past,” the Solano Beach, Calif. native said.
“It means our team has been suc-cessful thus far — that we have per-formed at the highest potential every game.”
When it comes to post-college plans, professional soccer is not the only thing on his mind.
“My plan is, to wherever I move, to find the best cafe and to drink all the coffee I can,” he said.
For Soares, the award was really a reflection on his coach.
by Kelly SuckowContributing Writer
“He came into the program as a very good player,” Grimes said of his co-captain. “Our goal is to improve on the already God-given talent. Our hope is to do everything we can to make him the best player that he can be.”
Along with Soares, David Bingham, Servando Carrasco, Hector Jimenez and Davis Paul represent Cal on the all-conference team.
Paul set a program single-season assist record with the 13 he collected this year. This broke previous holder Peter Woodring’s 12 during his tenure from 1986-1990.
Paul led the Pac-10 in scoring with 27 points, finishing six points ahead of second-place finisher Brent Rich-ards of Washington.
Arguably one of the best play-makers in the history of the program, Jimenez ranks second in the record books with 27 career assists. Paul is close behind him, with 20 to rank fourth for all-time.
As a team, the Bears have 43 as-sists, one away from tying the pro-gram record.
Not only are the players putting their names in the books, but head coach Kevin Grimes is as well.
This year marks Grimes’ 11th sea-son at the helm of the Bears’ program. In 2010, he earned an unprecedented fifth Pac-10 Coach of the Year title. Grimes is the first coach in the con-ference to earn the honors more than once.
“Soccer is a player’s game,” Grimes said. “(The award) is really a tribute to the players and the assistant coaches. It is a collective effort.”
According to him, the team is mov-ing closer to reaching the targeted ef-fort that the squad has been striving for throughout this year.
The five players named to the first team all-conference squad are the most of any other Pac-10 school. The recognition completes Cal’s transfor-mation from last place in the confer-ence last season to first place this year. With the exception of Bingham,
Soares, Paul, Carrasco and Jimenez are all in their final year of eligibility. All five are being scouted by profes-sional teams from both the United States and overseas.

Senior A.J. Soares also posted solid offensive numbers this season, including a career-high 11 points and five goals en route to his Pac-10 Player of the Year nod. Starting in all but one game, the co-captain was joined by four teammates on the conference First Team.

The attacker readies herself to receive the pass and sizes up the competition. She won’t try to hit through the Cal volleyball team’s block — the third best regiment in the country is just too strong.
The setter has passed the ball and it’s in mid-air, awaiting her decision. The attacker jumps and aims her kill toward the girl in the back row, thinking that the 5-foot-9 walk-on fresh-man crouching there won’t be able to complete the dig.
That attacker could be any hitter in the Pac-10, since they have all come across the defen-sive force that is Erin Freeman.
No matter where the ball is hit, the starting defensive specialist for the No. 4 Bears will complete the dig.
She’ll use her quick reflexes to snag a sharply hit ball to her side.
She’ll showcase her athleti-cism with a pancake dive.
She’ll even run into the bench to save the ball if she

has to. After all,
there was a time when she was on the bench. She never thought that she would be off it so soon.
Freeman did not expect to start or even play major
minutes this season. And at the beginning of the year, she seemed to be right.
She only played in six of 31 preseason sets, and was buried in the depth chart.
“It’s really important as a freshman to be confident in being out there and I think the beginning part of the season she was nervous and you could see it in her face,” senior setter Carli Lloyd says.
Nevertheless, Freeman kept giving her usual all-out effort in practice and knew that it was important for her to sup-port her teammates whether she was playing or not.
“I knew that practice is so crucial to our success ... if it’s by digging people so they have to work harder to get a kill and that makes them better on the court then that was important
for me,” Freeman says. “I knew that I was going to come in here and have to work as hard as I could and whatever hap-pened happens.
“I didn’t have a whole lot of expectations as far as playing.”
Yet, suddenly in Cal’s second Pac-10 game of the season, Free-man found herself playing in all three sets, and playing well.
She notched eight digs in that Sep. 26 tilt against Ari-zona State. Her performance in the straight-set win, along with her passionate play in practice, was good enough to warrant a start in the next match.
The Bears’ dismantling of the then-No. 11 Oregon had the previously undefeated Ducks quacking for mercy. It marked a critical moment for Freeman and for the team.
“I was just in the zone in that (match) and I think a big part of it was trusting that I’m capa-ble of playing at this level and knowing that my teammates trust me and that they all have
my back,” Freeman says. “I think that was a big turn-
ing point for the team, and my-self — that we’re really good.”
After the match, Cal coach Rich Feller raved about how well she played in her first start, and over six weeks later, he still references Freeman’s performance in the match.
“She came in, no fear, dug a couple of balls, made some plays, got the team excited, and we went on to score a bunch of points in a row after that,” Feller says. “She’s a little spark plug ... She’ll make a great play and it’ll fire people up and good things happen after that.”
Freeman has started every match since.
It would be another three weeks until Freeman’s most
memorable play — and the Bears’ signature win.
No. 2 Stanford won the first set of the Big Spike on Oct. 22. Cal won the second.
After the Bears came from behind to tie the third frame
at 16-16, it looked as if the Cardinal
had spiked the ball down for a kill.
Or did they?Freeman dove to save the
point, her arms extended so the ball grazed her fingers instead of the hardwood. The ball popped up to Lloyd, who passed it to Tarah Murrey. The junior outside hitter smashed the ball down with full force and Cal took the lead in the swing set.
The Bears (23-2, 13-2 in the Pac-10) went on to win the match and currently remain atop the conference standings. Freeman, though, remains modest even when her play on the court is anything but. She says the point at Maples was one of the highlights of the season so far for her, but not because of what she did.
“Tarah got the kill,” Freeman says, diverting the accolade to her star teammate. “(But) Tarah got so excited for me. Watching it on film felt so good.”
For all the accolades, for all the praise, the Sir Francis

Drake High product does not take anything for
granted, not starting — not even playing, for that matter.
“I think that to play you have to continually earn it and it’s not something that’s just given to you,” Freeman says.
Feller never knew Freeman would play such a major role when she joined the team. As a freshman and a walk-on, she was expected to be more of a practice player early on than a big match player. Feller even recalled the uncanny nature of their first meeting.
“I played volleyball with her uncle way back in the day,” Feller says. “And I remember Erin actually made a visit here with her uncle when he came to see the team and he intro-duced his 14-year-old niece at the time, ‘hey, great, way to go, keep playing.’”
“Little did we know that (a few) years later ... she’d be here on the court.”
She seems to be on the court to stay. Erin Freeman often may be the shortest girl on the floor but she stands head and shoul-ders above her competition.
