The surfing team is the only team at SDSU currently supported by Red Bull. Doug Van Mierlo, marketing junior and the team’s co-captain, was most excited for the chance to snowboard. He had not boarded since middle school and all the gear he had for the day was borrowed. Even though he confessed to not being the strongest snowboarder, he brought a helmet and was not afraid to shred the slopes.

While most SDSU students were winding down their spring breaks on a lazy Sunday afternoon, the surfing team completed the high energy switchboard event around 10 p.m. Two international San Diego State students recently conducted an independent research study on campus analyzing the unequal treatment of women. The study was conducted by Dimitri Diakov, who is seeking a mas- ter’s degree in mass communication and media studies with an emphasis in public relations, and Aurelie Saiz, who is seeking a master’s degree in business with a focus on PR and mar- keting communications. Their poll presented both good and bad news. More than 90 percent of those surveyed felt the image of women has evolved positively worldwide. “A lot of our respondents, and some of the people I talked to, saw this stereotypical ‘woman in the kitchen’ not as the prevailing position for a woman and that’s why they respond- ed positively,” Diakov said . However, 50 percent of respon- dents said they have either witnessed or experienced gender discrimination. “The problem is that women may be aware of the condition, but they do not act because a lot of them think it is normal just because it has been like this for a long time,” Saiz said. One unique quality of this study is the international perspective these two students bring to the table. In Russia, for example, there’s no women in upper parliament. In that respect, (the United States) is moving along,” Diakov said. “In France, maybe because it is much smaller, we have a lot of women in our government; more and more who are involved in politics, so they talk about it,” Saiz said. “The message is more broadcasted and people are more aware and act in a way that is to change society’s condition.” “The south of Mexico still believe in machos and that women are only there to please and satisfy men and their children’s needs. But in the North, many now believe that mom and dad carry out both roles. Compared to the U.S., Mexico still had a long way in viewing women as equal to men, but it is on its way,” Mariel Hernandez, member of SDSU’s Women’s Outreach Association said. Their research shows gender stereotypes have been changed for the better, but that it might not be enough. “I feel like there’s definitely a long way to go before we can say, ‘Oh well, it’s getting better to the point where we don’t see violence against women, we don’t see sexual treat- ment or sexual innuendos; that’s going to have to change with cul- ture,” Diakov said. “When that type of mentality (women staying in the kitchen) starts to drift away, that’s when we’ll see real change and sex- ual discrimination go away.” Elisse Miller staff writer Students used to evaluate society’s treatment of women San Diego State’s top surfers were invited to surf the La Jolla Shores and ski Bear Mountain in a single day. | COURTESY OF MICHAEL GIBBS Tara Millspaugh staff writer SDSU’s surfing team clinches big sponsor at statewide event They (Red Bull) provide us foundation and infrasturcture, they give us opportunities to do things that we would never be able to do without them.Chad Dime, president of SDSUs surfing team Rebudgeting Rebudgeting hearings for Associated Students’ Finance Board began two weeks ago and will continue into the next few weeks.

Study reveals gender stereotypes

Most athletes only dream aboutsurfing and snowboarding in thesame day. But last Sunday, SanDiego State’s surfing team had thisdream come true. The team’s topeight surfers were invited to partici-pate in the Red Bull Switchboardevent this year.

“They (Red Bull) provide us foun-dation and infrastructure, they giveus opportunities to do things that wewould never be able to do withoutthem,” Dime said.

The annual Red Bull Switchboardwelcomes athletes from all across

Southern California to come togetherto surf in the morning and snowboardin the afternoon. The athletes whopartake in the event are from all agegroups and range in skill levels. Theevent allows a diverse group of ath-letes to share their passion for theseaction sports among each other.

but overcast La Jolla Shores at 7 a.m.Surfers braved the cold and foughtthe storm, all while keeping theirenergy up. Then, the surfersswitched boards and headed up toBear Mountain to ride the slopes.

The SDSU surf team’s continuousachievements have garnered sup-

port from Red Bull. Not only does theteam have the opportunity to experi-

ence the brand’s benefits, but theyalso get to meet professional RedBull athletes. The surf team had thechance to snowboard with profes-sional big wave surfer Ian Walshwhile in Big Bear.

Surfing team hits the slopes

D A I L Y A Z T E CWednesday, April 4, 2012 H E A LT H & F I T N E S S2

Dance and drill workouts such asCrossFit, P90X and Zumba haveundoubtedly become some of thehottest trends in contemporary fitness.Images of rippling abs, gallons of sweatand the tortured faces of exhaustedparticipants are mainstays on late-night television screens. These imagesare also primary sources of intimida-tion for those hoping to start regularworkout routines.

San Diego State transfer studentMark Jones has developed a solutionto inject fun and exciting atmos-phere into the mission to get inshape with his workout / dance ses-sion OneFitJam! His weekly healthand fitness program fuses aspects ofthese contemporary workouts withlive performances by local artists anddisc jockeys to create a concert envi-ronment that takes the minds of itsparticipants off the workout and intothe music.

Jones, a Statesboro, Ga. native,first developed a passion for fitnessfrom his father at a young age.

“Everything he did, I wanted todo,” Jones said. “He would run, go tothe gym and play basketball with us,and I really started to like it.”

That passion continued to developwhen Jones joined the MarineCorps. A transfer from the Marinessent Jones to San Diego, where theidea for OneFitJam! originated.

“The idea came to me while I waspraying,” Jones said. “Why not putlive artists, fitness instructors and aDJ on stage and make a workout likea concert.”

The next day, Jones pitched hisidea to officials from local gospelrecord company M.A.N.D.A.T.E.Records. Intrigued by the concept,the label put Jones on stages aroundSan Diego, opening for its artists andenergizing crowds at events. As theevents continued to grow larger,however, Jones realized that he hadone major flaw — he couldn’t dance.

“I never liked group fitness classesbecause they would expose me to

that phobia,” Jones said. “In thebeginning of OneFitJam!, I didn’thave any choreography and I onlyused pure fitness moves.”

To overcome his fear, Jonesturned to friends for help. Theyhelped choreograph moves for hissessions and improve his danceskills. Jones and his team host freeOneFitJam! sessions at 10 a.m. everySaturday at Embassy ChurchInternational in Lemon Grove.

OneFitJam! sessions are full ofenergy. Participants of all ages andbackgrounds show up to experiencethis unique way of getting in shape.Classes begin with a stretch to musicfrom one of the live performers. SDSUstudent and OneFitJam!’s house DJRaysean Liddell, a.k.a “DJ Gamma

Ray,” takes over on the turn tables towarm the crowd up as Jones beginshis routine. Liddell includes manymusic genres, giving everyone some-thing they can appreciate.

Depending on the live acts bookedfor the session, a second perform-ance usually takes place during theworkout to motivate and entertainparticipants. The event ends with acool-down stretch and a final liveperformance to smooth things out.

At the latest event, local singerand guitarist Kylle Thomasson per-formed for the opening and cool-down stretches.

“It’s fun to witness people work outto my music,” Thomasson said. “I’venever done anything like this before.”

Jones blends aspects from danceaerobics, kickboxing and plyometricsto create a challenging but easy-to-pick-up routine, even for those whoaren’t the best dancers.

“The one thing I notice about peo-ple who can’t dance is that they don’tmove their hips,” Jones said. “Ourworkouts use less hip movement andmore exercises that won’t make youfeel you are behind everybody.”

For more seasoned participants,OneFitJam! will push as hard as theycan go.

“Since I ran track, I go into a lot ofworkouts thinking ‘what is this goingto do for me?’” SDSU senior and for-mer track runner Niki Novack said.“The abdominal workout is a killerand it’s cool because there’s a live DJhere and he does the workouts withus. It brings a lot of energy and you’renot thinking about what you’redoing, just enjoying the atmosphere.”

In the future, Jones hopes to cre-ate a OneFitJam! DVD, open a studio

and develop an online gym whereusers can put together their ownworkout session based on the per-formances they want to hear.

On April 7, Jones will takeOneFitJam! to Hollywood where hewill be warming up thousands ofrunners at the annual HollywoodHalf Marathon. Overall, Jones’ mainfocus is to promote healthy lifestylesfor as many people as he can.

“I think health is best achievedthrough unity and people workingtogether to overcome their issues,”Jones said.

Those who aren’t one of the lucky12,000 people holding a ticket tothis month’s must-see event oncampus should be pleased to knowa live broadcast of His Holiness the14th Dalai Lama’s speech will bestreamed live through sdsu.edu at9:30 a.m. on April 19. His Holinesswill share views about ethics, prac-ticing forgiveness and acceptanceand coping with the challengespresented in today’s world.

After listening to the speech, thefortunate few thousand who alsohold a ticket to the next-in-linecompletely sold-out must-seeevent in April can drive their hea-then selves to the first-ever secondweekend of the Coachella ValleyMusic and Arts Festival. Hopefullythey can have fun while remember-ing to practice what was preached.

A little haven of a local music nightwill be closing out the month. LittleHurricane has been gaining nationalattention after this year’s South bySouthwest Festival and a mini-fea-ture in Rolling Stone. The dirty-indie-blues duo from San Diego’sown North Park neighborhoodreleased its debut album“Homewrecker” last spring. The duoconsists of Anthony Catalano andCeleste Spina. Little Hurricane playsSaturday, April 28, at the Casbah.River City, DJ Gonzo and MaximLudwig & The Sante Fe Seven allopen for what promises to be aruckus of a good night for localmusic. The show is 21 and older.Tickets are $14.

After four years and one failed filmadaptation courtesy of M. NightShyamalan, the highly anticipatedcontinuation of Nickelodeon’s ani-mated series par excellence “Avatar:The Last Airbender” premieresSaturday, April 14. Set 70 years afterthe previous show’s series finale, “TheLegend of Korra” follows new AvatarKorra as she attempts to continue hertraining in a newly industrializedworld divorced from any of the spiri-tualism that underpinned the previ-ous series. Benders, those with theability to conjure natural elements,are simultaneously put on display for

sport or viewed as symbols of gov-ernment oppression. These complexideas emphasize more mature story-telling that gives fans of the originalseries, now four years older, some-thing more thought-provokingamidst all the beautifully animatedaction sequences.

With a month that began particular-ly made for comedians, what betterway to end April than to see a livecomedy show? On April 22, CraigFerguson, host of the Late LateShow will be performing atHumphreys Concerts by the Bay.Ferguson’s style of comedy is enter-taining and original, yet playful andalmost childlike.

Ferguson began his run on theLate Late Show in 2005, and sincethen has solidified himself as one ofthe kings of late night, setting all-time viewer records. Other thanhosting a successful late-night com-edy show, Ferguson has performedin front of large crowds throughoutthe United States, even performingto a sold-out audience at CarnegieHall in October of 2010.

For a night of laughs and a weebit of Scottish fun, don’t missFerguson performing at Humphreysby the Bay at 8 p.m. on April 22. Formore information, visithumphreysconcerts.com.

One of the most controversial docu-mentaries in recent years is finallygoing to be released in San Diego.“Bully” is a film addressing an impor-

tant problem many American stu-dents encounter: bullying, and thedisturbing effects it has on victims.

The reason this movie hasreceived so much attention isbecause of its rating. Many support-ers of the film, including HarveyWeinstein from the WeinsteinCompany as well as a determinedMichigan student named KatyButler, attempted to get the MotionPicture Association of America tochange the rating from R to PG-13.Because it refused, “Bully” will bedistributed without a rating, whichmay hurt its chances of being a boxoffice hit. In spite of this, studentswill hopefully get the chance toview this potentially life-changingcinematic experience when itcomes out April 13.

Information about “Bully” can befound at thebullyproject.com.

Florence + the Machine joins theranks of famous and influentialartists to have taken the stage on“MTV’s Unplugged.” The set willreportedly feature several songsfrom the band’s latest album,“Ceremonials,” as well a few previ-ous hits and a cover of OtisRedding’s “Try a Little Tenderness.”

One of the few remaining musi-cally oriented shows on MTV,“Unplugged” features acoustic setsby breakout artists. Last year sawartists such as Young the Giant, 30Seconds to Mars and Lykke Li playstripped-down versions of their hitson the hour-long show.

Florence + the Machine’s sessionis set to air at 8 p.m. on Sunday. Therecorded album is expected to be inrecord stores next Tuesday.
