Five San Diego residents were arrested last week for the murder 13 years ago of UCSD School of Medicine professor David F. Hessler, then 30. Cold-case crime investiga- tors used an expanded fingerprint database to track down the suspects.

This concern was aggravated by the official Sun God Web site, which advised stu- dents to arrive early due event limited capacity of RIMAC Field. According to Associate Vice President of Concerts and Events Garrett Berg, there were just under 1,000 wristbands left unclaimed by the end of the night. “Everyone panicked and got there early,” Bramwell said. “People were just nervous about us run- ning out of wristbands when they really didn’t need to be. So people that showed up at 9 a.m. ended up ERIK JEPSEN/GUARDIAN waiting two or three hours, whereas if they’d showed up at 1 p.m. they would have gotten the same wrist- band and gotten to go right up to the front of the line.” The line subsided by noon, at which point students were able to retrieve their wristbands in a matter of minutes. Bramwell said that the same distribution system could be used again next year, provided that festival organizers better inform stu- dents of the abundance of wristbands. “When you have 18,000 people showing up all at once there’s only JOHN HANACEK/GUARDIAN so much you can do,” he said. “If it was properly messaged to students that they really didn’t have anything to worry about, then I think that this system would work fine, so that peo- ple would show up throughout the day when they had free time instead of all showing up at 9 a.m.” Daytime attractions on RIMAC Field included a collection of student films screened by campus venue the ERIK JEPSEN/GUARDIAN Loft, circus and dance performances under the centrally located midway tent and a set by folk-rocker Iron & Wine. After dark, audiences flocked to performances by mashup artist Girl Talk — whose hour-long set packed the dance tent to near capacity — and rock-rap trio N.E.R.D. “Even if we had made no changes to the festival format, our lineup this year was just so much more of what students were looking for,” Berg said. “The full atmosphere of the event this year was worlds better.” The day’s events weren’t limited to RIMAC Field.

n Tuesday, Californians will brave the ballot and vote in yet another special election.

Nevertheless, our state is in a serious financial crisis. If Propositions 1A-1E fail, education funding will be cut by an additional $2.3 billion, leaving the University of California with a $531 million hole to fill in the 2009-10 academic year. UC President Mark G. Yudof has already hinted at the “unpleasant” consequences, such as raising student fees, cutting academic programs and x limiting student services.
