“Lodise: I Make No Apologies”

I enjoyed reading your zesty and commendably comprehensive “Unofficial History of Isla Vista” in the recent issue of Coastlines. overall, I found it very informative.

While it’s true that I have played a “controversial” role in Isla Vista over the years, the question is “controversial to whom?” The vested interests (the County, the University and absentee landlords) for sure. And that quarrelsome clique of a dozen homeowners from I.V.’s West End that hate everything about UCSB, including its students. However, in town I was always considered a “moderate”.

What I found most problematic in your account is it gives me far too much credit for carrying too much of the major issues facing the town. I’m a big boy; I can take it. But it’s embarrassing among my peers because you portray a significant social movement as a personality cult. The perspective in your article seriously understates the contribution of literally hundreds of people that played major roles in Isla Vista’s community-building period following 1970. Many of these people today play leadership roles in government and business, both locally and across America, and credit their hands-on experience in Isla Vista as the foundation for understanding how society could work better.

Most of these overlooked builders attended UCSB and many are likely subscribers to Coastlines. In fact one of your readers wrote: “I never knew you that well but his description did not fit you.” And thanks Carmen for sticking up for us all. We DID try to create the kind of culture we wanted to live in and even if we failed, we all grew as a result and

the effects are still with us.over a hundred of these folks have

been attending Isla Vista “reunions” in recent years, something that is certainly unique. How many towns have reunions? It’s puzzling that these reunions have yet to be noticed by Coastlines, since the event last July had its banquet in the Mosher Alumni Center.

I make no apologizes that “Isla Vista: A Citizen’s History” is an account from the trenches. Prof. Bob Potter said it was written in the tradition of Howard Zinn and I’m good with that. However, you stated that the perspective of the book is “purely Lodesian”, when actually it packages the writings of several people. In fact, the examples you offer are the writings of others, not mine:

1. The chapter featuring “a photograph of the former Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Captain Joel Honey wearing a medieval sword and mace on his uniform during the Isla Vista riots,” was written by UCSB grad Malcolm Gault-Williams.

2. You state that “Lodise argues that . . . under pressure from locals, the Regents backed off [a plan] to incorporate Isla Vista into the main campus and build its student housing there . . . and allowed Isla Vista to develop with little urban infrastructure, planning or oversight.” In fact, the chapter in the book on the shenanigans of the University and County in the creation of Isla Vista has only minor changes from essays written by two other UCSB grads, IVCC rep. JoAnne Yokota and Associated Students president Abby Haight, not I. Their documentation of that era is compelling enough that even you wrote it up nearly as they told it.

In fact, well over half the book is composed of writings, speeches, and interviews of other major players in the town’s rich history.

Because I have conveyed the message, it’s often disregarded that I was reflecting the opinions of a lot of people during my 30 years of

activism in Isla Vista. For example, I was elected to the IVCC in 1972 along with Bill Wallace and Dr. Dave Bearman. There was an advisory measure on the same ballot on the subject of local government options for Isla Vista. over 80% of the 4,000-plus voters supported an independent City of Isla Vista, so I worked towards that. Eight more such elections over 15 years also supported it; I advocated on behalf of those results. I didn’t invent Isla Vista Cityhood, which is what your “unofficial history” implied.

I appreciate your comment that: “Almost 45 years later [the 1970 Trow Report’s] recommendations seem as current today as then.” Readers of your article may be surprised to find that this is also the stated conclusion of the 20-plus pages in my book dedicated to the Report’s text and analysis. You perhaps aren’t aware that the IVCC asked the UC Regents to review the findings of the Trow Report in 1984. However, Chancellor Robert Huttenback vehemently

dismissed the request as a “red herring” and prevented even a vote on undertaking such an evaluation.

Your article quotes Ed Birch saying recently that the lack of government structure is “the” problem in Isla Vista, an observation I find particularly galling. As Huttenback’s hatchet man in the community, vp Birch was in charge of the Administration’s campaign opposing I.V. cityhood in the 1980s. First they claimed it wasn’t financial feasible, then several months later hired a consultant to “document” that assertion. This was quickly followed by Birch’s ending of University funding to the IVCC in retribution for its continued pursuit of cityhood after their declared disapproval.

However, the County’s EIR, which was completed under state guidelines by two UCSB professors, concluded that the proposed city was financially feasible if each resident would be willing to pay $18-per-year to have policy control over police,

planning, transportation, etc. When these study results were announced, a front page story in the Daily nexus quoted Administration officials saying that students couldn’t afford what it would cost to run such a city. At literally the same time, the Administration was promoting a referendum in which students were being asked to assess themselves $54-per-quarter to pay for an addition to the Ucen. While it was IVCC rep. Mike Boyd, not I, who popularized the moniker of “Fast Eddie” for Birch, it was definitely well deserved.

I was properly impressed with UCSB

planner Chuck Haines vision of a more physically integrated campus and town presented in your interview with him. But as to Birch’s recommendation that “the University should partner with local investors to upgrade the housing stock . . .”, good luck. The partnership between the County and local investors through the RDA resulted in several new multi-storied apartment buildings. The Icon structure, which you properly called “ostentatious,” has 105 beds but only 17 parking places. This is hardly progress.

Finally, I found your summary statement that my activism was “often to no avail” was a bit over-the-top. Today, there are a lot of parks in a town that had only one when I arrived and I was on the park board when the first million-dollar-package was purchased. In addition, I was in the leadership of saving Perfect Park from a County-approved development and the later campaign to establish a monument there to the worldwide anti-war movement of the 1970s. Also, the issues of my weekly newspaper, the Isla Vista Free Press (1987-89), were considered important enough to have been digitalized and made available at UCSB Special Collections (http://www.library.ucsb.edu/special-collections/research/ivweb/ivFP). And then, there’s that book . . .

I only found a few points I would question for accuracy in your account:

1. “The University . . . did support Isla Vista being annexed to Goleta when that city incorporated.” I believe that the U failed to state an opinion.

2. I don’t believe the census information you provided is about the half-square mile everyone knows as Isla Vista, which is still 95%-plus renters

the last time I looked vs. the 83% you reported. Your data appears to be that of the “Isla Vista CDP,” a 1.86 sq.-mile area that includes many owner-occupied residential units along Storke Road.

3. The decision whether the RDA-owned Clinic building is to be sold hasn’t been made yet – it’s due any day now from the state Dept. of Finance. Your article didn’t mention that the community is also seeking the vacant RDA-owned building next to it as a meeting hall. Together, these buildings would become the community center that the RDA

proposed to build out on Estero Road, which also is not mentioned in your list of approved RDA

projects scuttled by the state’s financial crisis. This community center outcome is being supported by Supervisor Doreen Farr, Assemblymember Das Williams and State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson. So, it’s a substantial issue pertaining to the community, one in which I’m involved.

It’s interesting to note that Chancellor Yang signed a “treaty” to end the 1994 hunger strike by minority students that committed the U to do everything possible to help establish a community center in Isla Vista. Yet, the U hasn’t been heard from in this five-month old campaign to save the two RDA-owned buildings. In case you’re interested, I’ve been told a copy of that signed document is available in Special Collections. This failure to act doesn’t bode well for the “Promises to Pay” commitments you outline as UCSB expands enrollment to 25,000 over the next 20 years.

All in all, however, I believe your article fairly affirms the community’s shortcomings, although not its assets, and the foundation of the challenges it still faces – after all these years.

Sincerely, Carmen Lodise

PS You write that “Carmen Lodise was the irascible pot stirrer . . . .” I had to look that up:

i·ras·ci·ble adjective: having or showing a tendency to be easily angered (irritable, quick-tempered, short-tempered, hot tempered, testy, touchy, tetchy, edgy, crabby, petulant, waspish, dyspeptic, snappish)

While I admit to being quick-tempered in some instances, I don’t believe I’m petulant. But I admit to admiring your

vocabulary skills.

I.V. As Wasteland

In your in-depth article on I.V. in the current issue of Coastlines. I lived in Isla Vista during the era of the Red Lantern, the Unicorn Bookstore, and the riots. You were thorough and thoughtful--thank you.

A few comments: You omit from your history the tragic death of UCSB Student Kevin Moran on the Bank of America steps during that tumultuous period. He should never be forgotten, nor should the cost of the riots or their causes be ignored.

And yes, the views of the sea are “spectacular” from certain places in I.V.

But Isla Vista is still a slum. Just last Friday the second of two brutal gang rapes occurred there. Things may appear better than they used to--the slick new apartments and some bike and pedestrian tunnels--but things are worse for the students forced to live crammed into ticky tacky apartments.

I.V. is a cultural wasteland and offers students no within-walking distance bookstore, pharmacy, or supermarket. My son, a UCSB student, is a resident of IV and it is still a noisy, dirty, ugly, cramped environment. UCSB should be ashamed to have let the slum that is IV develop in the first place. 45 years after the riots, what is their excuse?

Money of course. Is it surprising that developers and property owners don’t want to change the great deal they have? They demand high rents on crappy apartments to thousands of students who have no where else to live. The University has failed to stop them or to show genuine concern for the dismal quality of life for students who live there, sometimes for many years because Santa Barbara rents are so high.

Shame on the current UCSB administration and those in the past. They have allowed Isla Vista to be the slum it has become without advocating for the students or without protecting their health ors safety. of course IV tarnishes the reputation of UCSB--it should.

Check the sheriff’s website and you’ll find this: “The population of Isla Vista is about 7% of the county’s population, but close to 25% of all serious crime in Santa Barbara County occurs in Isla Vista. That figure includes burglary, robbery, grand

Yet the same administration is spending 16 million on renovating the Faculty Club.

When will undergraduates become more than a revenue stream and become a genuine priority?

Before overhauling the campus, or creating long term plans for growth as the recently departed EVC did, UCSB should devote its considerable resources to making sure student have a clean, well-lighted and safe place to live.

Grand Vision Can Succeed

I appreciated your piece on IV with its focus on the political and economic issues of city planning.

There has been considerable press and hand-wringing about IV over the years, but rarely have I heard this perspective

discussed in the open. It is a breath of rational, fresh air. We need more of this dialogue.

When I arrived in 1964, the dorms were full. Housing was a real issue for graduates and undergraduates, alike. Francisco Torres had just been announced (by Prudential Insurance, I believe). I moved into Cactus Jack Curtice’s new facility (I think it was called Dos Pueblos) at 785 Camino del Sur. There were already a half dozen (or so) women-only buildings facing El Colegio; ours was the first non-fraternity, men-only facility.

We were just beginning the transition to a general campus (from UCSBC), and demolition of the cream-colored Marine buildings seemed to be underway at every turn. It seemed that no part of campus life was spared from over-crowding and -utilization. I lived in San Miguel for my sophomore year before moving to “traditional” IV housing.

So it wasn’t really until 1966 or so that I became aware of IV politics – not so much inside the community, but in its relationship to Goleta and the County. I remember the acrimonious campaigns around the supply of water (Tecolote Tunnel and the GV Water District), the alignment of various economic and political interests on each side, and the apparent absence of land-use and infrastructure planning.

I have experienced situations at Cornell and Penn where the schools are moving incrementally to encroach upon/blend with the community. To my knowledge, though, every similar attempt at a UC campus has failed. The grand vision you describe, however, seems to be a realistic approach. Your piece has done much to put these issues in perspective for me. Perhaps you could spur us (Alums) to action to take a position on the plan?

Education Dean Appointed CSULB PresidentJane Close Conoley, who has served as Dean of the Givirtz Graduate School of Education since 2006, has been named the seventh president of California State University, Long Beach. She is the first woman to hold the post and only the fourth woman who now heads one of the 23 CSU campuses. Before her appointment Conoley had been on leave as Dean to serve as interim Chancellor at UC Riverside. She was also a finalist for the provost position at the University of Oregon.

The author or co-author of 20 books, 33 book chapters, and 30 professional journal articles, Conoley’s research interests focus on school-based mental health programs, increasing school safety, and family/school partnerships. She has written widely on how to intervene effectively with disabled and seriously emotionally disturbed and aggressive children.

New Bioengineering Building Ready to GoWith the last piece of funding secured for its planned bioengineering building, UC Santa Barbara has moved one step closer to seeing the state-of-the-art research facility become a reality, anticipated to break ground this summer.

The UC Regents originally approved the project in July 2010; however, due to the downturn in the economy, the state was not able to provide its portion of the project funding. As the state’s financial picture improved in this past year, UCSB Chancellor Henry Yang reinvigorated efforts to seek state support for the project and was instrumental in securing a $26.5 million funding commitment.

“I am very pleased that the UC Office of the President gave this project the highest priority for funding this year,” Yang said. “Our existing and fast-growing strengths in bioengineering, together with the collaboration with colleagues from various disciplines on our campus and in our community, have helped us make a compelling case for this building proposal.

The new facility will be a hotbed of biomedical and bioengineering research, housing both the campus’s Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies and its Center for BioEngineering. Current plans include 15 faculty offices and several conference rooms as well as an auditorium and classroom and laboratory space for up to 110 postdocs and graduate student researchers.

Green Manufacturing Promoted with GiftA new cluster of faculty chairs has been established at UC Santa Barbara as a joint endeavor by deans Rod Alferness, Steve Gaines and Pierre Wiltzius. The new cluster of Mellichamp Chairs in Sustainable Materials and Product Design is made possible by longtime supporters Duncan and Suzanne Mellichamp.

“Sustainability in manufacturing is an important concern for society on many levels,” commented Alferness, dean of UCSB’s College of Engineering. “This newest Mellichamp cluster recognizes that UCSB is the ideal environment for researchers in chemistry, materials, environmental science and other disciplines to approach the sustainability of the chemical industry from scientific, pragmatic and conscientious perspectives.”

Professor Honored by Mexico AcademySara Poot-Herrera, professor of Spanish and Portuguese and director of UC-Mexicanistas at UC Santa Barbara, has been elected a corresponding member of the Mexican Academy of Language, a cultural organization that aims to maintain the purity of the Spanish language. She was cited for her scholarly and cultural accomplishments.One of only a few females — and the first female from California — to be elected to the academy, Poot-Herrera ranks among the most distinguished scholars in Mexico.

“Being elected to the Mexican Academy of Language is one of the highest honors to which any writer or scholar can aspire in the Hispanic world,” said Jorge Checa, professor and chair of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.

Meningitis Vaccinations Begin at UCSBImmunization of UC Santa Barbara students for meningitis bacteria began Monday Feb. 24, and by the end of the campaign more than 9,000 students had received inoculation. The immunization came after four students were diagnosed with meningitis late last year, including a student who eventually had his feet amputated. More than 20,000 students were eligible for the voluntary vaccine, which had to receive special Food and Drug Administration approval because it was not cleared for use in the U.S.

A second vaccination will occur during spring quarter. The UC Santa Barbara campus is picking up the entire cost of the vaccine.

Born to Be Shy, Or BoldBold and outgoing or shy and retiring — while many

people can shift from one to the other as circumstances warrant, in general they lean toward one disposition or the other. And that inclination changes little over the course of their lives.

Why this is the case and why it matters in a more traditional context are questions being addressed by anthropologists at UC Santa Barbara. Using fertility and child survivorship as their main measures of reproductive fitness, the researchers studied over 600 adult members of the Tsimane, an isolated indigenous population in central Bolivia, and discovered that more open, outgoing — and less anxious — personalities were associated with having more children — but only among men.

Their findings appear online in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior.

“The idea that we’re funneled into a relatively fixed way of interacting with the world is something we take for granted,” said Michael Gurven, UCSB professor of anthropology and the paper’s lead author. Gurven is also co-director of the University of New Mexico-based Tsimane Health and Life History Project. “Some people are outgoing and open, others are more quiet and introverted. But from an evolutionary standpoint, it doesn’t really make sense that our dispositions differ so much and are not more flexible.

“Wouldn’t it be great to be more extroverted at an

important party, more conscientious when you’re on the clock at work, less anxious when talking to a potential date?” Gurven continued. “Differences in personality and their relative stability are not unique to humans and have now been studied in many species, from ants to primates. How could dispositional consistency be favored by selection?”

Given the variability in personality, a question then is how that variability is maintained over time. “If personality traits, like extroversion, help you interact easily with bosses, find potential mates and make lots of friends, then why, over time, aren’t we extroverted?” Gurven asked. Successful behavioral strategies with genetic underpinnings — and behavioral genetics has demonstrated relatively high heritability for personality variation — often increase in frequency over time and, therefore, reduce variation over many generations.

One reason might be that selection pressures vary — whatever is adaptive today might not be so tomorrow, and what is adaptive in one place might not be so in another. Selection pressures can vary between sexes as well. The most advantageous personality traits for men may not always be so for women. A second reason could be the idea that too much of a good thing is bad. “Being more extroverted might also make you more prone to taking unnecessary risks, which can be dangerous,” Gurven said.

A winter storm that came at the peak of high tide caused major damage to piers and structures in and around the UC Santa Barbara campus. There was no major damage reported to the University.

At the Beachside Café adjacent to the campus, a rogue wave smashed through glass windows and swept the restaurant manager out to sea. He managed to cling to the Goleta Pier until a second wave swept him back into shore. The Café’s outdoor dining area received major damage from the waves. The Goleta Pier was temporarily shut down due to damage, as was the Gaviota Pier, which lost 50-feet of deck and pilings. on Stearn’s Wharf a wave crashed into the windows of Moby Dick restaurant, breaking glass and forcing customers to flee.

While the storm brought almost four inches of rain to the campus, it did little to relieve drought conditions on the South Coast where both voluntary and mandatory water rationing is occurring.

It was 1985 and the U.S. had arrested so many Soviet spies that news

magazines were referring to it as the “Year of the Spy.”

Mikhail Gorbachev was assuming the leadership of the Soviet Communist

Party and Ronald Reagan had just been sworn in for his second term.

The world was feeling the last frigid blasts of the Cold War and in the midst

of it, undersea explorer and U.S. navy officer Robert Ballard needed funding

for his quixotic search to find the wreckage of the Titanic. What he received

instead was a top secret mission for the U.S. navy that used as its cover the

search for the Titanic.

The Secret Mission That Discovered

The Titanic

The image that proved it was Titanic, was a ship’s boiler captured by Argo. A similar boiler (above) in the Titanic debris field was photographed during Ballard’s 2004 expedition.

outward, in a tight circle. Ballard learned from his Navy mission that a sinking ship will drop its heaviest pieces directly to the bottom of the ocean, but the rest of the ship and its contents will “blow” with ocean currents over a long stretch of the ocean floor.

The key to finding the Titanic was to go as far out as the location of the last rescued lifeboat (to calculate the prevailing current drift that night) and then criss cross the ocean floor in grid patterns looking for signs of debris. “The debris field is shaped like a comet’s tail,” Ballard explained. “You look for the debris trail and then work back to the ship.” The search was worse than looking for a needle in a haystack because the region was littered with the remains of U.S. freighters sunk by the Germans.

On Sept. 1, 1985 the undersea robot on the Knorr spotted debris, “junk” as

described by Ballard. But as the robot worked its way up the debris field something large came into sight. It was a boiler. On the wall of the control room in the Knorr’s ship was a picture of the Titanic’s boilers. They matched. The Titanic had been found.

a uc santa barbara legacy

It is the ocean that has made Ballard famous and it is the ocean that brought him to UC Santa Barbara as a first year student in 1960.

As a high school student who was fascinated with Jules Verne’s Captain Nemo and his Nautilus and who wanted to be an ocean explorer, Ballard boldly wrote to the nearby Scripps Institute in San Diego and asked for a scholarship to do ocean research. He won the scholarship and it brought him in to the area off of Santa Barbara where he met UC Santa Barbara marine biologist Robert Norris. It was Norris who convinced Ballard he should come study marine biology at UCSB.

In 1963, the U.S.S. Thresher, at the time the fastest, deepest diving, quietest submarine ever built, mysteriously sank off the coast of Massachusetts taking 129 souls to the depths below. It was the worst submarine disaster in history and shook the U.S. Navy to its boots. The Thresher was powered by a nuclear reactor.

Then, in 1968, the U.S.S. Scorpion, also a nuclear class submarine, mysteriously sank off the Azores coastline with 99 crewmen aboard. Subsequent investigations have pointed to a faulty steam pipe that failed at such a deep depth that the Thresher was unable to survive. To this day there is controversy about why the Scorpion sank, ranging from a possible onboard explosion to a malfunctioning torpedo.

In 1985 the U.S. Navy wanted to take photographs and map the wreckage of both ships and determine if their nuclear reactors were leaking or in the case of the Scorpion, whether its nuclear tipped torpedoes were intact. At the same time, the U.S. was trying to figure out what to do with its aging nuclear submarines that needed to be retired under the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT). Maybe dumping them in the ocean would work, but first, they needed to figure out what damage the two nuclear subs might have caused on the ocean floor.

This impetuous explorer and reserve naval officer named Bob Ballard might just be the person to find the answers. But he needed a cover because the Navy did not want the Soviets snooping with their ever present spy satellites.

In news articles and press releases, Ballard told the world he had been “loaned” a Navy ship, the Knorr, and was setting out to find the Titanic. Instead he extensively observed and photographed the two wreckage sites determining in both cases that both subs imploded as they sank below 2000 feet and left debris scattered across the ocean floor.

Upon completing the mission, the Navy gave Ballard 12 days to find the Titanic or turn in his “loaner” ship.

In an interview with Coastlines from his Rhode Island office, Ballard explained that the secret to finding the Titanic was what he discovered while searching for the two submarines. In the case of both submarines the Navy knew where the submarines had gone down but was not sure of their exact resting place. While searching for the debris, Ballard stumbled on a methodology that led him to the Titanic.

Numerous expeditions to find the Titanic had tried to pinpoint its place on the ocean floor based on its last known location. (As it turned out, the Titanic wreckage was more than 13 miles away from where it last reported its location.) Searchers had started at the last known location and worked

…the navy gave Ballard 12 days to find the Titanic or turn in his “loaner” ship.


It is no accident that

the name of Dr. Bob

Ballard’s research vessel

is nautilus. When Ballard

is some of the most

advanced ocean research

equipment in the world.

But what makes it unique

is that it is wired for

instant exploration and

discovery that can be

shared in real time with

some of the world’s

greatest scientists.

What Ballard has

For Ballard, the campus was like a huge buffet of intellectual, social and personal delights. When he was done four and a half years later, “there was nothing left to taste,” Ballard admitted. In a special program for undergraduates Ballard double majored in chemistry and geology, and double minored in physics and math. He joined the SAE fraternity where he has friends to this day. He played frosh football and was elected junior class president. Oh, and he was a member of the ROTC that later led him to an Army intelligence unit and then to the Navy as an oceanographic officer and second lieutenant.

“Santa Barbara poured the mold of what is Bob Ballard,” he said recently. The education he received “made me a generalist. I have an interest in just about everything because of my education at UCSB.”

the ballard tombstone

Ballard is a little wistful when he talks about his legacy. The day he returned to land from his discovery of the Titanic his mother called him. She said she felt sorry for him. Why, he asked. “It’s too bad you found that ship. Your father and I are very proud of our two boys. But now they will only remember you for finding the Titanic.”

He admitted that the day after he dies, the headline will read, “The Man Who Found the Titanic Died.”

Maybe. But based on his journey so far, there may just be one more greater discovery for Ballard’s tombstone. Of course, as an explorer, he wouldn’t know what that is. That is what discovery is all about.

built is a virtual laboratory with two

undersea vehicles that can explore

the deepest, most unknown parts

of the world, then beam images and

data back to a 24-hour command

center at the University of Rhode

Island’s Inner Space Center.

Ballard likens what happens next

to the work in a hospital emergency

room. While there are doctors

on staff to assess what crisis an

ambulance brings to the hospital,

there are specialists on call that can

be summoned on short notice.

Ballard has built a similar

network. He has a chief scientist on

board the nautilus. When a unique

find is displayed on his video screens

he or she can call on scientists from

multiple fields like archaeology

and geology, who then are

instantaneously hooked up online to

the cameras recording discoveries

in the ocean. Within minutes of one

of his submersibles

spotting a unique

ocean feature, a

specialist can be

sitting in their

home on a laptop,

determining

whether this find is worth deeper

investigation.

A network of these quick

response scientists is being built

across the U.S. and in the near

future Ballard hopes to add UC

Santa Barbara scientists to his

team. During his April visit he

plans to meet with campus faculty

and administrators to see if such a

laboratory here is feasible.

Ballard is often asked what he

plans to explore next. He has a stock

answer: “I don’t know. When you go

to where we have never been before

[on the ocean floor] you don’t know

what you are going to find.”

A Modern Captain Nemo

That makes it hard for his

research efforts to get traditional

funding. “They tell me that when

I know what I’m looking for to

come back.” But that is what a true

explorer is, Ballard asserted. They

don’t know what they will find,

but they have to be ready to learn

whether it is a meaningful discovery

or not.

As he told the Los Angeles Times,

“I’ve spent most of my life on pieces

of the Earth where I was the first

human being to be there, and I want

to share that.”

Fellow Gaucho,

Think you know UCSB? Think again! Whether you graduated last year or the last century, chances are that the 2014 version of campus has both hidden gems and bold visions waiting to be discovered. When we cast our thoughts back to our college days, we don’t get a full picture without savoring the memory of the friends we made here at one of the most beautiful schools on the planet. This year’s All Gaucho Reunion provides the perfect opportunity to rediscover friends and again relish the campus-by-the-sea.

UC Santa Barbara has come into its own in recent years. Numerous awards and the establishment of countless new programs and research units have helped transform this institution into a world class university. Our faculty is working on cutting edge research projects - everything from more efficient lighting to finding a cure for Alzheimer’s…..and all the while, our students remain among the happiest on any college campus!

We look forward to welcoming you back to UCSB this April with the hope that there are personal discoveries to be made by each and everyone of you. We extend an invitation to you and to your family (future gauchos) to participate in all fun (and educational!) events that are scheduled.

Go Gauchos!

Sincerely,

Jan Campbell ‘74 UC Santa Barbara Alumni Association Board President

With one stroke of a pen in 1983 President Ronald Reagan doubled the area

of the Earth controlled by the United States. That year

the U.S. expanded its exclusive

economic zone 200 nautical miles

out to sea from all U.S. coasts,

including Alaska, Hawaii and

Pacific Islands that the U.S. holds

in trust. At the time Reagan said

the addition of the U.S.-controlled

ocean area was for the “purpose of

exploring, exploiting, conserving and

managing natural resources.”

Yet this vast new part of America has largely been unexplored.

Bob Ballard recently wrote in national Geographic that we have

better maps of Venus and Mars, as well as the back side of the

Moon, then of the ocean floor just off our coasts.

All Gaucho Reunion Keynote Speaker, Robert Ballard ’65

Ballard’s Next Frontier:An America Never Seen

[listen] Robert Ballard will give a talk about “Exploring the New America” at Campbell Hall on Sunday, April 27 at 3 p.m., during the All Gaucho Reunion.

In 2012 Ballard set out like a modern day Meriwether

Lewis and William Clark to discover this new America. With

two research vessels, his own nautilus and the national

oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s okeanos

Explorer, both equipped with the latest in undersea sonor

equipment, Ballard began mapping both the East Coast and

Gulf of Mexico offshore features. In 2015 he plans to begin

mapping the sea floor off the coast of California and oregon,

then head to Hawaii to map the ocean around the Hawaiian

Islands.

Ballard expects this new exploration to take 10 years and

reveal major new discoveries of sea life, underwater features

and sunken ships. While doing research in the Gulf of Mexico

he discovered three sunken wrecks, including one armed in

such a way it may have been a pirate ship.

As he told National Geographic, “People say, ‘What’s your

next discovery?’ I say, I don’t think you understand the

process. I don’t know what I’m going to find, but I’m going to

go look.”

miles of waters in the Santa Barbara Channel near Coal Oil

Point. Natural oil and gas seeps leak an estimated 6,000

gallons of oil each day, as they have for thousands of years.

NATURES ILLUSIONS “Why do I get tar on my feet after a day at the beach

in Goleta?”LiLike the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, the tar results from huge, natural seeps that leak oil and gas into the Santa Barbara Channel. The natural

seepage comes up through cracks and faults caused by ancient earthquakes in the rock beneath the

ocean floor. The oil evaporates, degrades, and then eventually congeals into floating balls of sticky tar.

Tides, cuTides, currents and winds wash the tar onshore.

ANNUAL REPORT2 0 1 2 - 2 0 1 3

How was all this accomplished?

Kent and Julie, over the years, had amassed a number of highly appreciated shares of stock from Kent’s employer. Kent and Julie each decided to fund individual charitable remainder unitrusts with that stock to provide income for their lifetimes. As trustees of their trusts, Kent and Julie were free to diversify their portfolios in order to ensure their retirement nest egg. Additionally, they set up life insurance policies to replace the value of their unitrusts for their heirs.

Upon each of their deaths, their trusts will provide a generous gift to those charitable interests closest to them, including the Alumni Association, the Mosher Alumni House, and Intercollegiate Athletics.

“Julie and I were able share our success with the University and our other charitable interests during our lifetime, insure that our retirement years were well-funded, and allow for our estate to be kept whole for our heirs. Why wouldn’t anyone want to do that?”

➢ We wanted to fund our retirement while at the same time diversifying our investment

portfolio.

➢ We wanted to ensure that we had sufficient income for the remainder of our lives.

➢ We wanted a plan with significant tax benefits to allow us to utilize greatly

appreciated stock.

➢ We wanted a plan that ultimately benefited UC Santa Barbara and our other

charitable interests.

If you have similar ideas and are interested in a gift plan to meet your financial planning and

charitable giving objectives, please call: Chris Pizzinat, Deputy Director, Office of Development at

(805) 893-5126, toll-free (800) 641-1204 or email [email protected]. For more gift ideas

and examples, please visit www.plannedgiving.ucsb.edu

Kent Vining BA ’70 and Julie Ann Mock MA ’75 met these goals by creating a specific plan that:

• Took advantage of available tax benefits while diversifying their investment portfolio in retirement.

• Provided a platform for a long-term retirement income stream.

• Made a generous provision for planned gifts that will ultimately benefit the campus, as well as other charitable interests.

Fiscal situation The Alumni Association’s current fiscal situation continues to be stable and healthy. In the fiscal year ending in 2013 the Association ended with a balanced budget. Strong revenue came from membership dues, the Family Vacation Center, the All Gaucho Reunion and campus support.

mosher alumni House The Mosher Alumni House continues to be the center for campus life, with increased usage by alumni, students, faculty and staff. Pepperdine University continued to hold its MBA classes in the MAH and provided much needed revenue to meet operating expenses. The MAH is an independently financed facility and must rely on rental income to cover utilities, maintenance and janitorial services.

scholarship initiatives The Alumni Association Scholarship Fund continued to grow during the fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year the Fund contained $589,000, in only its fourth year of operation. The Senior Class Gift campaign for 2013 ended with the highest participation rate by seniors in the history of the senior class gift. The gift campaign is a joint effort of the Alumni Association and the campus Development Office and is spearheaded by the student UCSB First Committee in the Association.

Reunion The 2013 All Gaucho Reunion was the largest ever. It was headlined by world renowned chef and food visionary Alice Waters. The Association presented Waters, who attended UCSB for two years, an honorary alumni award.

technology The Association continued to upgrade and expand its efforts in the area of technology and communication. Plans were set in motion to revamp the imodules online community for alumni. There was dramatic growth in the number of alumni and students on the Association LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter sites.

Programs The Association worked more closely with Development and Athletics to expand the number of regional programs and events. The Zero Year Reunion, held for graduating seniors the night before commencement, continued to grow in participation and enthusiasm.
