The government has provided us with a false sense of security by ensuring us that our data is being UCSB, See page 5 collected for our own good, while recent events have proven to us that this is not the case. The recent tragedy became even more disturbing after the revela- tion that so many clues had been available and overlooked. Elliot Rodger had uploaded 22 videos to his YouTube account and made regular posts on social media sites that revealed his angry and threat- ening disposition. His videos often mentioned a “day of retribution,” while his activity on Puahate.com, a website for men to share advice on how to pick up women, was full of violent posts describing revenge against women. One post had even described how “satisfying” it would be if all the men in the world had died from a virus, so that Rodger could finally have his pick of beau- tiful women. There was ample time for the government to take action and legally investigate the case before it was too late. Weeks before the attack, Rodger’s parents saw sev- eral disturbing videos and alerted a therapist and the police about their concerns for the mental health of their son.

Along with returning talent, UCSD also has plans to completely renovate Triton Ballpark and estab- lish updated, polished facilities. This change will undoubtedly advance the school’s recruiting efforts, and by my prediction, the Tritons will be competing for Division II NCAA Championships before the incoming freshman class of 2018 graduates. There is no doubt that those leaving this year have left an indel- ible mark on the program. However, with so many young, talented play- ers rising to fill the ranks of those departing and new facilities to ele- vate UCSD’s national recognition, the 2015 season stands to be yet another year for the record books.

To say that our graduating seniors will be missed on the field would be an understatement. Seniors Nick La Face and Justin Rahn had incredible years, evidenced by their recent honors from the American Baseball Coaches Association. The two seniors always seemed to get Triton bats going when they were most needed and were season-long cornerstones of the team’s offensive effort. They will leave large holes that may prove difficult to fill. Blake Fassler, Spencer Frazier, David Hart, Garrett Tuck and Scott Zeman also pitched their last innings as Tritons and their leadership both on and off the field will be greatly missed. However, in spite of the bitter end and the exit of these valuable players, the Tritons’ potential in the coming years excites me.
