After last week’s sub-par perform-ance against Missouri, junior quar-terback Ryan Lindley couldn’t waitto take the field for a chance tobounce back.

Lindley did just that, throwing for362 yards and three touchdowns inSan Diego State’s 41-7 victory againstUtah State (1-3, 0-1 Western Athletic)on Saturday at Qualcomm Stadium.

“We wanted to come in and makea statement,” Lindley told reportersafter the game.

On a night where the Aggies putan extra safety in the box in anattempt to stymie the SDSU rushingattack, which came into the gameranked 17th nationally, the Aztecs(3-1) came out throwing.

And senior wide receiver VincentBrown was there to catch thosethrows. Brown had 177 receivingyards and two touchdowns in hisbreakout game of the young season.He also surpassed 2,000 careerreceiving yards in the game.

The SDSU defense was domi-nant, notching four sacks, an inter-ception and nine tackles for a lossand spent much of the game inUtah State’s backfield, shuttingdown play-making quarterbackDiondre Borel.

Freshman tailback Ronnie Hill-man, who was ranked sixth in thenation in rushing going into Sat-urday’s game, was held relativelyin check with 89 yards and atouchdown.

The Aztecs scored on their firstthree possessions to pull away early,with the first two scores coming onruns from Hillman and sophomore

Walter Kazee. The third was a littlebit more flashy.

Up 14-0, SDSU was facing a 4th-and-1 on the Aggies’ 28-yard line.Lindley faked the handoff to seniorrunning back Brandon Sullivan,who sold the run perfectly. After thefake, Lindley hid the ball behind hiship while freshman tight end BryceQuigley broke free to the right. Lind-ley fired a perfectly placed pass andQuigley ran it in for the touchdownto close the first quarter.

That’s when Vincent Brownstepped in. The wideout caught a

65-yard touchdown to put theAztecs up by 28 at halftime. In theAggies’ first series of the new half,they scored their first touchdownof the game to make the score 28-7and after an SDSU field goal, Lind-ley found Brown again for an 82-yard score.

“I cut to the outside, and saw theball in the air,” Brown said of theplay. “I don’t think the defender sawthe ball, and once he turned around,that’s when I slowed up to get it.Ryan (Lindley) put it where I couldget it, so I just had to slow up andfind the ball.”

Up 35-7, the Aztecs ran a fakefield goal on the fourth down whichwas rewarded with a 13-yard gain bysenior Doug Deakin and a firstdown. The drive ended with an AbelPerez field goal, and after anotherSDSU field goal in the fourth quar-ter, the final score was 41-7.

In the postgame press confer-ence, head coach Brady Hokesounded content with his team’seffort after the tough loss in Mis-souri last week.

“You get disappointed in yourselfafter a loss, so it’s nice to get back,”Hoke said. “We get eight more guar-

anteed opportunities, and we’reexcited about that. But we have totake advantage of all eight of thoseopportunities.”

The Aztecs beat Utah State soconvincingly Saturday night that theAggies’ head coach Gary Andersenhad to commend them.

“They are a good football team,”Andersen said. “I give them a ton ofcredit. They’re very athletic. I thinkit’s the most athletic San Diego teamI’ve seen in awhile from A to Z.”

SDSU’s next game is at BYU onOct. 9 after a bye week.

Take a look at some of the news andnotes from the beatdown.

Lindley silences doubtersRyan Lindley said critics motivatedhim on Saturday. He wouldn’t elab-orate on who they were or what theysaid, but he headed into SDSU’s

game against Utah State trying toprove something.

And he did.Lindley looked like a big-game

quarterback. He threw deep balls.Chucked lasers. And he even aver-aged 21 yards per completion.

Disarm drones topreserve war ethics

QQuueessttiioonn:: SShhoouulldd tthhee UU..SS.. ccoonnttiinnuuee ttoo uussee pprreeddaattoorr ddrroonneess ffoorr ccoommbbaatt mmiissssiioonnss iinn wwaarr??

ighting a war without pilots is anew phenomenon forhumankind. Predator droneshave revolutionized our aerialstrategy by eliminating our ene-

mies without the risk of losing U.S. pilots.Nonetheless, their use has raised somelegitimate concerns. Detractors have ques-tioned the morality of using unmanned aer-ial technology against enemies in combatand asked for their disarmament altogether.I’d like to question their morality and theimplications of their proposed “solution.”

Some are concerned this military tech-nology will drastically increase the amountof destruction and death in combat. Thiscouldn’t be further from the truth. InWorld War II, military technology wasarchaic in comparison to what we havetoday. Without accurate, effective missiletechnology, the allied forces had to resortto carpet-bombing the cities of Germany atthe climax of the war. This unfortunatelycaused a mind-boggling amount of civiliandeaths. Similar tactics were also used dur-ing the Vietnam War in the ‘60s and ‘70s.

Contrast those examples with the smartbombing campaigns of Kosovo and Bosniain the ‘90s and our past three wars in theMiddle East. Because of an increase in tech-nology, we have been able to cut down civil-ian and troop casualties dramatically. Some410,000 German civilians died at the handsof U.S. and U.K. bombings in the end ofWWII. During the invasion of Afghanistan,there were between 3,000 and 3,400 civiliandeaths from U.S. air bombings.

Turn the clock back even farther to theage of propeller fighter planes. ImagineAmerica deciding not to use a jet enginefighter because it would make combatimpersonal thousands more feet up in theair. Imagine disarming our superior aircraftin war just because some felt it was aweapon of mass destruction. How irrespon-sible and impractical would that be? Thatwould intentionally place our nation andour military at a disadvantage.

This is the sort of illogical reasoningused in advocating the end of drone use.While it may be more impersonal in thecockpit of a fighter jet, the technology oftoday has made it possible for our pilots tobecome so accurate they can hit a coin onthe ground below them.

With drones you get the best of bothworlds. You can get a closer, more preciselook at the enemies and civilians below.Even better, you will be saving the lives ofour members of the U.S. Air Force because

they won’t be in the cockpit. Furthermore,drones are virtually silent. so the enemywon’t even know the drone is coming.Using this technology is a much more effec-tive way to eliminate the enemy, protect theinnocent and save our pilots’ lives.

President Barack Obama has spearhead-ed the drone campaign since he took office.This has effectively eliminated many topoperatives and commanders of Al-Qaeda.

Believe me, I’m not attempting to writeoff the horrors of civilian deaths or war.However, in instances where you havedozens, perhaps hundreds of enemy com-batants on target, our military still musttake action, even at the risk of causingsome civilian deaths. No matter how tech-nologically advanced we get, the brutalityand savagery of war will always remain.

We must keep our drones in the air.The U.N.’s Philip Alston asserted that“more than 40 countries have access todrone technology.” Alston included thatcountries, “including Israel, Russia, Turkey,China, India, Iran, the United Kingdom andFrance either have or are seeking dronesthat also have the capability to shoot laser-guided missiles.” He added, “terroristgroups, such as the Lebanese organizationHezbollah, have obtained drones and maybe able … to conduct surveillance (and)launch targeted attacks.” If we unilaterallydecided the U.S. would abandon the droneoperation, it would put our troops, alliesand homeland into clear danger.

It is always important to have dialogueabout the advancements of military tech-nology. More dangerous and lethalweapons are always a frightening reality toconfront. Any time a new advancedweapons system is introduced, we musttake on more responsibility and caution.We should not turn our backs on new tech-nology while our enemies embrace it andexploit us with it. We must harness it, uti-lize it and excel with it in a responsiblemanner to keep those who would do other-wise in check.

S E N I O R S TA F F C O L U M N I S TFy 2047, all U.S. warplanes aresupposed to be replaced byremote-controlled andautonomous aircraft. ApparentlyU.S. Air Force officials don’t

watch movies, because the subject ofunmanned military planes seems like thesolid first step to every science fiction robo-doomsday scenario I’ve ever heard of. Butlet’s get real, I haven’t been threatened byany killer Austrian robots from the future;I’m just concerned the introduction ofthese unmanned war machines is a seriousmistake for the U.S.

In northern San Diego, companies aremanufacturing fleets of aircraft calleddrones. These large remote-controlledplanes are used in the Middle East for sur-veillance and combat. At first, the idea ofunmanned planes was laughed at, but afterthe terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, they havebeen used extensively in the War on Terror.Because pilots sit at the controls miles awayfrom danger, drones present an alternativeway to fight wars, preserving U.S. lives.

Don’t get me wrong, I am all for pre-venting the deaths of as many soldiers aspossible. But still, we must ask ourselves,how far can we let this go? And at whatcost? While drones cost only a fraction ofthe price of traditional fighter planes, theypresent serious ethical and political issues.When the “humanity factor” is taken out ofwar and we no longer have U.S. soldiers tolose, we will be more likely to initiate com-bat rather than negotiation. Without a sol-dier’s life on the line, military tacticsbecome military economics — a comparisonof financial loss and gain. The use of dronesas military weapons compromises thealready fragile moral justifications for war.

To control a drone, its pilot sits in frontof a complex arcade-style machine and con-trols the aerial craft with a computer joy-stick. They survey what they would seefrom inside the plane on a pixilated screen.Viewing what looks like a flight simulation,these “pilots” are completely removed fromthe battlefield. This digital format of warrisks further dehumanizing the enemy andthins the line between wartime killing andartless extermination.

The rise of this new technology drivesmany to think that if our government doesnot build drones now, our enemies will.This mentality is the same outdated think-ing the U.S. and Russia used during theCold War nuclear arms race. I do notbelieve we should sit back and watch asthe next tyrannical madman gets his terror-

ist hands on drone technology, I onlyintend to present other options to stockpil-ing military robots. Rather than try to out-gun other countries developing drone tech-nology, the U.S. military should lead byexample and not use drones for anythingother than surveillance. Because they limitU.S. losses and maximize enemy casualtiesto such an unbalanced extent, using dronesin combat can be categorized in the sameleague of weapons of mass destruction. Ifdrones are not completely eliminated aswar machines, international law must pro-hibit their deployment except in the mostextreme cases.

At least 7,000 drones have beendeployed in the Middle East, and accordingto W.J. Hennigan of the Los Angeles Times,“Hundreds of unintentional civilian casual-ties have been blamed on strikes linked todrones in Afghanistan and Pakistan.” Usingdrones instead of manned aircraft compli-cates accountability. As if saying bombingaccidents are more excusable because newtechnology is being field tested, drones havebeen blamed for targeting “mix-ups” in theMiddle East. When a pilot accidentally firesa hellfire missile at a public school, account-ability can easily be transferred to the dronebecause it’s such a new weapon.

Drones save soldiers’ lives. Great, butone outstanding positive does not out-weigh the multiple negatives surroundingthe use of drones in modern warfare.Drones distance targets, both physicallyand emotionally from pilots, so far thatthey are reduced to images on a screenready to be shot at. The use of drones willlead to a heavier emphasis on monetaryprofit as an incentive to engage in war.Because losing lives in war would nolonger matter, armies could battle with noend in sight.

When the scales of power are tipped tothis extent, global conquest becomesinevitable. Drone aircraft should be usedexclusively for surveillance or disarmedand shipped off to Hollywood sets.

Getting a head start against common colds

The fall season is here, and with the beauti-fully colored leaves and nice evening breezecomes the infamous viral upper respiratorytract infection — also known as the commoncold. Although there is no cure for the com-mon cold, there is some defense against thevirus that runs through residence halls likea La Casita burrito.

There are more than 200 differentstrands of viruses that cause the commoncold, so the likelihood of having the samecold twice is nearly impossible. On average,a child will suffer a cold three to 12 timesper year, while adults will have on averagetwo to four colds per year. The common cold

is one of the most frequent illnesses in theUnited States; it’s the most common reasonfor calling in sick to work or missing school.Students in the U.S. miss 22 million days ofschool per year because of colds. Accordingto organizedwisdom.com, studies showedwashing hands at least four times a day canreduce school absences because of the com-mon cold by 50 percent.

The most basic ways to a speedy recoveryare known, but there are some methods thatactually exacerbate the virus’ symptoms.Most people know to stay hydrated during acold, but that should not include alcohol,coffee or anything with caffeine in it. Water,juices and clear liquids with a touch ofhoney are the best choice. Other suggestionsinclude gargling salt water, saline nasaldrops and chicken or kreplach soup.

Because a cold is a virus, antibiotics are inef-fective. Antibiotics are meant to kill bacteria, soagainst a virus they are useless. The overuse ofantibiotics also contributes to the serious prob-lem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Using zinc has also been purported to

hasten recovery, however this can be a dan-gerous habit that isn’t proven to work.Testing has shown no conclusive positiveeffect of zinc on colds, and ingesting toomuch can result in permanent damage tothe sense of smell according tomayoclinic.com.

One method to increase the chance of

avoiding the common cold would be tostrengthen the immune system. Lemon juice,either by itself or incorporated into cooking,can help balance the body’s internal pH levelwhich supports healthy bacteria that protectagainst viruses. Other suggestions includeplenty of rest, a protein-rich diet, plenty ofwater and avoiding coffee and chocolate.Avoiding the two is something most peopletend to be unaware of. Chocolate and coffeetake away vitamins and minerals from thebody and dehydrate it.

Refined white sugar is one thing thatshould be avoided at all costs. Many nutri-tionists consider refined white sugar to be adrug, because of the way it affects the body.Eliminating refined white sugar from a dietwill increase energy levels, balance weightdistribution and aid in the ability to thinkmore clearly. All of these are the ingredientsof a successful college student.

By following these simple health tips, stu-dents can miss less class and stay healthythroughout the winter.

The junior quarterback went 17-for-24,threw for 362 yards and three touchdowns,and led the Aztecs to a 34-point blowout win.

“There were some things that you read inthe press clippings every once in a while thatyou use as motivation,” Lindley said. “And wewent in, we didn’t think they respected us asan offense. Whether that be the receiving coreor the offensive line, and we wanted to comein and make a statement.”

Against Missouri, Lindley completed just 20of his 44 passes for 190 yards. The messageboards and fans dragged him through the mud.

“I was pretty low after last week’s game; Iwas down on myself,” Lindley said. “But I’mjust excited with the way the guys came up.”

With his three-touchdown passing per-formance, Lindley moved into fifth place inthe school record book with 45 career passingtouchdowns.

Tricky AztecsEven in a 34-point beatdown, SDSU dug deepinto its playbook on two flashy plays againstthe Aggies.

In the first quarter, the Aztecs were facinga fourth-and-one from their own 28-yard line— too far to kick a field goal, and too close topunt. So SDSU went for it.

Lindley faked a handoff to running backBrandon Sullivan, hid the ball behind his backfor a few moments, whipped around andfound a wide-open tight end Bryce Quigley fora 28-yard touchdown pass.

“I was pretty excited when we put that in,”Lindley said. “It was a cool play and it workedjust how we coached it up and how we did itin practice.”

Then, in the third quarter, the Aztecs, up35-7, lined up to kick a 38-yard field goal. Butinstead of letting kicker Abel Perez boot theball, receiver Doug Deakin grabbed the snap,found a hole and ran 13 yards for a first down.

SDSU, up by 28 points in the second half,actually ran a successful fake field goal.

“I was pretty pumped up; we had beenworking on it,” Deakin said of the fake. “Theirscheme allowed for a hole there, and my line-men did an absolutely wonderful job. And I’llprobably be hearing from them about notscoring. The hole was gigantic and they did agreat job blocking on that play.”

V.J.’s dayDefenses weren’t letting receiver VincentBrown beat them this season. Teams wouldput one man underneath him and one manover the top of him, and they just weren’tgoing to let him go off.

But on Saturday, Utah State tried some-thing different.

The Aggies tried to cover him one-on-one.And Brown made them pay.

“You get a guy one-on-one with V.J. and he’sgoing to make him miss – he’s going to getopen,” Lindley said. “There were a coupletimes I think we took advantage of them hav-ing singled-up coverage with him and he justmade plays. It was a good night for him.”

Brown ripped off 177 yards and two touch-downs on five catches. In the postgame pressconference, he seemed happy to finally be thefocal point of the offense once again.

“They were focusing a lot on the run, andcoach (Al) Borges definitely dialed up someplays tonight,” Brown said. “It’s what we hadworked on all week and it worked out for us.Whatever our job is out there, I’m out there todo. I’m out there to win.”

With his 177 yards, Brown became the12th Aztec to surpass the 2,000-yard mark ina career.

Short shotsFreshman running back Ronnie Hillmanlogged his first career start. He tallied 89 yardsand a touchdown on 23 carries.

Redshirt freshman Nat Berhe recorded hisfirst interception of the season in the fourthquarter.

SDSU (3-1) is off to its best start in 29 seasons

VOLLEYBALL

On Saturday afternoon, the San Diego Statevolleyball team finished its second MountainWest Conference game in the same fashion asits first: Victoriously. SDSU (7-7, 2-0 MWC)took down TCU in five sets en route to its first2-0 MWC start in eight years.

After the Aztecs exhibited their domi-nance in the first set, the Horned Frogsanswered with an eight-point win in the sec-ond set. TCU’s Irene Hester took charge onthe court from the beginning, eventually tal-lying 20 assists and nine digs, which weregame-leading stats for both teams. However,SDSU held its ground with a two-pointcomeback in the third set.

“Going into the game our main focus wasto be confident and aggressive,” senior mid-dle blocker Lauren Salisbury said. “Wework much better when we are aggressiveas a team.”

Salisbury contributed steadily throughoutthe game, finishing with 12 kills and threedigs. Sophomore Andrea Hannasch and jun-ior Kyley Sexton recorded 16 kills apiece.

Other notable performers were freshmenJohnna Fouch and Raegan Shelton. Fouch,

the setter, totaled 52 assists and led theAztecs in digs with 16. Shelton, who wassubstituted into the game during the secondset, finished with 13 kills.

“I was excited to play and excited to do thebest that I could for the team,” Shelton said.

Anticipation filled Peterson Gymnasiumlate in the third set as the Horned Frogslost their lead to SDSU with a 24-24 tie. Afew plays later, Sexton’s ace led the Aztecs toa one point lead, 26-25, and Shelton hit theset-winner resulting in a 27-25 victory.

“The energy on the court kept us allgoing,” sophomore libero Kristi Jackels said.“We fought for every point.”

In the game’s penultimate set, SDSU andTCU rallied back and forth. After a 15-15 tie,the Aztecs quickly moved ahead to 19-17thanks to Salisbury’s numerous kills.However, it was not enough for SDSU as theHorned Frogs won the fourth set by threepoints. Hester’s teammates, Jordan Rainesand Christy Hudson, contributed to the setwin with Raines recording 18 kills, 3 assistsand 7 digs. Hudson followed closely with atotal of 11 kills, 19 assists and 13 digs.

In the fifth and final set, the tension washigh on both sides of the net. DespiteTCU’s efforts, the Aztecs got off to a 3-0start and held their lead all the way to a 15-12 set triumph.

“I knew in the last couple of points that wecould really pull off this win,” Shelton said.

Efforts from junior right-side hitterJessica Peacock made an impact as her finalkill helped seal the deal for SDSU’s 3-2 win.

After a tough preseason schedule thatconsisted of road games across the nation,things are looking up for the Aztecs as theyfocus on their conference season. The futurelooks bright, but head coach DeitreCollins-Parker is not one to count her chick-ens before they hatch.

“Being ahead at this point in the season isexciting, but it is still early. Our goal for nowis just to win every game we can,” Collins-Parker said. “It is a great start to win at homebefore we head out on the road.”

SDSU will face off against Colorado Stateat 7 p.m. on Thursday in Fort Collins, Colo.

“We have already seen the best. We knownow that we can play with anybody,”Collins-Parker said.

Former Aztec arrested

A former San Diego State student is awaitingtrial for possible felony charges after harassinga former professor.

Alvin Fearn, 40, began harassing the SDSUprofessor last month via e-mail. The first two e-mail correspondences were reported, but notdeemed credible threats.

However, according to SDSU Police, thethird e-mail presented a credible threat, alsoreferred to as a “terrorist threat,” tipping offpolice.

After being notified of the third e-mail,police went to Fearn’s house in South Bay andarrested him. In the house, police found 20weapons, all handguns or rifles, and removedthem from the house.

Shortly after being arrested, Fearn wasreleased and is currently out on bail.

The SDSU Police Department could notcomment on how long ago Fearn attendedthe university and if he graduated.

Fearn is being charged with criminalthreats. If convicted, Fearn faces a felony sen-tence with prison time. It is also possibleFearn will have to pay a fine.

Lt. Mike Frawley of the SDSU PoliceDepartment said felony offenses have moreserious consequences.

“Felonies usually carry more time,”Frawley said. “They’re usually over a year tolife.”

When asked if Fearn might not be foundguilty, Frawley said, “Is it possible? Oh yeah.”

Currently, Fearn is awaiting his trial byjury at 8:15 a.m. on Oct. 20 at the SuperiorCourthouse downtown. He was arraigned onSept. 2, according to the San Diego SuperiorCourt’s Public Affairs Office.

After his trial, Fearn will have to return forsentencing.

According to Frawley, the fact that Fearn’scase is going to trial is notable, consideringonly about 8 percent of incidents go that far inthe system.

A campus advisory sent out Sept. 3 has arequest from police that they be notified ifFearn is seen on campus.

The advisory, along with a physicaldescription and photo of Fearn, can be foundin the News Center section of SDSU’s website.

The SBSS will orbitEarth at a distance of 392 miles.According to a U.S. Air Force official, thesatellite will be able to track space junkwithout the interference of weather oratmosphere, making the task easier.

Unsafe reporting conditionsJournalists in Mexico are requestingmore security as drug cartels are makingit difficult and life-threatening to coverstories. As the situation regarding drugtraffickers has gotten worse, the cartelshave become the “de facto authorities,”according to one Mexican newspaper.The same newspaper asked drug traf-fickers what they want in order to pre-vent further murders and attacks onjournalists in the area. Many journalistsand newspapers in Mexico have taken tocensoring themselves in order to preventviolent responses to what is reported.However, journalists will get protectionaccording to a plan by Mexico’sPresident Felipe Calderón.

Golf is the majestic, age-old sport that stereotypical-ly brings together uncoordinated athletes, constantwalking, funny-looking pants and a slow pace com-parable to a grandma with a walker. Sounds like areal “rager.” Yet to many golfers, the sport has its

moments ofp u r e

exc i te -ment and

intensity,as well asdisappoint-ment andheartbreak,which is whymany peoplef i n d t h e

game so enjoy-able.

Known bymany as asport that

caters to oldmen utilizingtheir retire-ment funds,golf has slowly

but sure lym a d e t h e

transfor -m a t i o nt o a nactivityfun forpeopleof al lages.

Even though Phil Mickel-son makes golf look like abreeze on TV, people oftenoverlook the sheer difficulty of the game. This is nota game for the impatient or easily distracted. Golfrequires a player to stay focused and emotionally incontrol. Enriched with tradition and unofficial rules,it is necessary to truly study and practice the game ofgolf so as not to be embarrassed on the course.

San Diego has suddenly become one of the fore-most golfing spots in the nation. The beautiful year-round weather offers golfers the perfect opportuni-ties to play throughout all four seasons.

San Diego and the neighboring areas offer morethan 80 golf courses to choose from. With all of thempresenting their own unique layouts and terrain, it iseasy for golfers of any skill level to find a course thatsuits their preferences. Desert courses are known to

dominate the golf scene in East County, while treesand water hazards are more prevalent along thecoastal golf courses.

While many college students do not possess theskill to tackle the Torrey Pines Golf Course, oncehome of the USGA U.S. Open (yes, it is a big deal),there are still numerous courses to conquer just a fewmiles from the San Diego State campus.

Here are several courses that are not only closeand affordable, but offer golfers a great chance tohone their skills:

Mission Trails Golf Course Adjacent to Cowles Mountain and Lake Murray, thisscenic course is a favorite for local golfers. This 18-hole Par 71 is located only minutes from campus, so

there’s no need to take a freeway to get here. Whilethe front nine seem fairly flat and straight, the backnine snake through canyons and finish with apanoramic view of Lake Murray, all while offeringgreat elevation challenges.

The 28-station driving range, clubhouse, proshop, restaurant and professional instruction

make Mission Trails Golf Course one of thebest in San Diego. Also, prices are very

reasonable at this course with 18holes costing around $25.

G o l f c a r t s e r v i c e i soptional.

Balboa Park Golf CourseOnly five minutes from the heart ofdowntown San Diego, thiscourse presents golfers with aview unlike any other. Set in themiddle of Balboa Park, golfersare able to admire the view of thedowntown skyline, Point Lomaand the Pacific Ocean in the dis-tant background.

Balboa not only offers golfersan 18-hole Par 72 course, but alsooffers a nine-hole executivecourse. Known for the quality andupkeep of the grass, Balboa ParkGolf Course prides itself on keep-ing green fees low, as to alloweveryone to enjoy this course.

Eighteen holes at this coursewill run around $30 dependingon the day and whether the play-er is a San Diego city resident(price lowers if so). Cart fees are$26 for 18 holes and club rentalsare $20 for 18 holes. A drivingrange, chipping greens and club-house are also available for use.

Sun Valley Golf ClubThis is one of the most relaxing,low-key courses found in SanDiego. This nine-hole golfcourse allows golfers to practicetheir skills before tackling themore difficult courses. Tuckedaway in the hills of La Mesa, thiscourse will not break the bank.The price for this course is $10for nine holes. This is a perfectplace for the college studentwho does not want to spend allday on the golf course, yet if 18holes are necessary, it is only$14 to play the course twice.There is also a driving range,chipping area and putt inggreens. Club rentals are $1.

7 2 OFF SUIT

here is a certain pathet-ic quality in the fact thatI have more workoutoutfits than occasionsI’ve gone to the gym

since school started. I can’t workout in public. When I exercise Itend to make disparaging remarksto the dumbbells in order to assertmy dominance. I’ve noticed thisisn’t socially acceptable.

Therefore my workouts latelyhave consisted of following aPilates DVD on my floor, where Ican yell “No, I will not hold thatstretch longer for an extra chal-lenge you spandex freak!” at thetelevised instructor without scar-ing anyone.

However, I was recentlyinformed “The concept of Pilateswas created when the instructorsgot together and said, ‘If we’regoing to charge $30 a class, wecan’t just call it Girl Push-Ups.Pilates is easy and dumb.’” Andbecause peer pressure works onadults too, I decided to ventureout and try something new.

P90XThe first time I heard someonesay “P90X” I thought they werereferring to some kind of extrememotocross or heavy metal bandor a newly discovered, San DiegoState-originated sexually transmit-ted disease. For those of you whoalso don’t watch late-nightinfomercials, P90X is the TonyHorton 90-day workout routine.

So I borrowed the DVDs andstood in front of the televisionwith my roommates, ready to geta body like P!nk during herFunhouse concert tour. A fewminutes before the end of theabdominal exercises, Tony swag-gers up, looks right in the cameraand slowly says “Ab … Ripper …X”; unadulterated testosteronedripping off every word.

That’s where I lost it. Ten minutes later we were lay-

ing on the couch throwing

Skittles at the TV while fast-for-warding to our favorite parts.

My choice segment is the “pot-stirrer cool downs” when Tonykeeps asking what kind of souphis background people are stir-ring. During Phase 2, Tony’sfriend Phil says “I’m stirring uptrouble.” You go Phil! You showthose viewers at home that you’remore than just a pretty face! ButTony is not pleased when some-one else is trying to be moremacho than he is. You can tellbecause he mocks Phil for notbeing flexible enough all throughthe stretch video. Oh, the drama.Pass the popcorn.

And also, just to make you feeleven worse about yourself, one ofthe guys in the plyometrics jumptraining part has a prosthetic leg.

The gymI believe in the gym.

By this, I mean I believe thegym exists. It’s the grey and redbuilding next to Viejas Arenathat the good-looking, fit peoplemill around like an anthill.However, I can’t actually go in tothe Aztec Recreation Center. It’stoo intimidating. Everyone thereis cracked out on endorphinsand techno music.

I almost went in last week tosign up for a membership. I wasswayed by the promise of a sauna.I had a pen and everything.

But, right at the moment I wasabout to enter through thoseglass doors, destiny intervened. Areally attractive guy (and I’m talk-ing the Ryan Reynolds as “WadeWilson” kind of cute) walked outthe doors. I’m almost positiveThe Eagles’ “Life in the FastLane” started playing as hewalked past in slow motion. Thenhe turned to his friend and said,and I quote, “Dude, cheat on your

girlfriend, not your workouts.” I went home.

RunningI ran the beach every Saturdaythis summer.

However, my definition of“running” loosely translates tojogging three miles to the DelMar ice cream stand, buying amassive vanilla cone and thenwalking back to my car while eat-ing it. What? The bigger I am, theharder I am to kidnap.

I tried running “for reals” on atrack where there aren’t distract-ing snacks. There was one otherperson there, and he took hisruns seriously. I know because hewas wearing a uniform engi-neered for aerodynamic purposes.By this I mean he took scissors toa fraternity rush T-shirt so thearm holes extended down pastchest level and his entire torsowas exposed.

Mr. My-Shirt-Has-Two-Huge-Gaping-Fabric-Flaps-Instead-of-Proper-Armholes (Mr.MSHTHGFFIOPA if you will)sighed with blatant condescen-sion every time he passed me.Finally I yelled “exercise is justthe poor man’s plastic surgery!”and stomped off the track.

I had a lollipop to cheermyself up. I’ll start running againwhen I see a runner smiling.

A fitness routine just isn’t forme. I’m going to stick to run-ning my mouth, pushing myluck and jumping to conclu-sions. Actually … no! I’m goingback to Pilates! Pilates is like life— if you think it’s easy thenyou’re just doing it wrong.
