If one is Academic Senate Quarter Caps Will Obstruct Student Success By: Chris Robertson // Staf Writer On Oct. 30, the UC San Diego Academic Senate despite outcries that it will place increasingly large submitted a now-controversial amendment to the burdens on already-stressed resources. UCSD is one of campus-wide graduation requirements. The change the several campuses charged with expanding, hence imposes a 12-quarter limit on all non-transfer freshmen the ever louder whir of construction equipment and and a 6-quarter limit on all incoming transfer students. the ever-larger defcit that UCSD is running. Coupled To compensate for the restricted time limits, the Senate with the issue of over-enrollment, the new graduation also chose to strike down the 21 credit cap per quarter. requirements are yet another indication that the number While the decision intends to increase UC San Diego’s of students squeezed through the system takes priority 4-year graduation rates, it makes higher education even over the quality of the education they receive. more infexible and exclusive than it has historically Capping the number of quarters will not affect been. It fails to acknowledge the various other facets every student, but considering that the average time of life that may interfere with a speedy degree process for degree completion for UCSD undergraduates is 4.3 and encourages students to jam-pack as many courses years, the change affects much more than a tiny fraction into a quarter as need be. In recent years, UCSD has of students. The fundamental faw with the change is committed millions to construction projects meant to that it assumes students should always graduate by a improve the university, but all it seems to have done is prescribed amount of time and that the quality of their build a factory that churns out more and more graduates. education will not diminish if this time frame is overly The UC system’s desire to crank out students like short. an assembly line is hardly new. The UC Offce of the For various reasons, a 12-quarter limit is restrictively President and the UC Regents tasked any campus that could feasibly accommodate more students to do so, See CREDITS, page 5 OPINION THE UCSD GUARDIAN | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2019 | WWW.UCSDGUARDIAN.ORG 5

THE SYNDICATE

▶ CREDITS, from page 4 By Yui Kita short. Students may extend their time-to-degree because of personal commitments like work or family, sports, illness, or simply because they value courses not included in their major requirements. UCSD’s own structure may place an undue burden on students to graduate in 12 quarters. An engineering student at Roger Revelle College, with its notoriously time-consuming general education requirements, would have to ramp up their already-busy schedule with even more courses to fnish in 12 quarters. UCSD seems to believe the quick fx is to just take more courses per quarter with the credit cap gone. As if academic and mental health resources aren’t already overburdened, the stress of taking fve or more courses per quarter and the burden it would place on existing resources went over the head of the Senate’s voting bloc. That is all without mentioning how many students could not feasibly take a greater number of courses given their other commitments or how doing so would aggravate their already-precarious conditions. Students already cite everything from massive class sizes to the quarter system itself as debilitations to their education. Quarter limits are yet another source of stress to stack on top. The Academic Senate underestimates how much such stress can interfere with a student’s education, or it at least cares less about stress than student’s graduation statistics. Financially-struggling students, students with mental health issues, students of color, disabled students, and other disadvantaged groups have brought the issue up continuously for decades though. For most students, Plato takes a backseat during a mental health crisis, as does the latest robotics assignment when the student can’t pay rent. Tacking on the element of speed in education sets yet another obstacle for students, distracting them from course material and active engagement with it. To want a greater number of people to get an education and get that education effciently is not a crime. UCSD does its students a disservice, though, when it approaches education as a one-size-fts-all commodity. Education is a process complicated by a million factors besides credit count and quarter limits, so UCSD’s approach to it must have more nuance than the Academic Senate currently allows. If the Academic Senate is insistent on instituting quarter limits, it must include exemptions for students who cannot graduate in 12 or 6 quarters, greatly expand its advising and mental health resources, and face acknowledge its responsibility to guarantee a consistent quality of education.

Dungeons and Dragons: Finding community in fantasy A glimpse into the subculture of the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons within the UC San Diego student body.

By Daisy Scott Editor-in-chief

or a long time, as far as I was concerned, Dungeons & INFOGRAPHIC BY NATHISH NARASIMMAN AND LUKAS WILLIAM Dragons was that make-believe game the character Rowley Jefferson played in “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” thatF identified him as a social outcast. So when a couple of college friends asked me to join their D&D campaign in Fall Quarter 2017, I was a little surprised. It was my belief that D&D was an outdated, isolated game that was only played by die-hard fantasy enthusiasts. How wrong I was. Over the course of the next two years, my group, known as a “party” in D&D, and I met about once a week. As we played, I not only became more entranced with the fantastical worlds and characters my party explored, but also grew increasingly aware of just how many UC San Diego students play D&D in their free time. It seemed that everyone I mentioned D&D to either was currently in a campaign, had been in a campaign, or was friends with someone who played. A whole campus subculture opened up to me, contradicting the “UC Socially Dead” label that suggests students don’t know how to properly socialize beyond school-related topics. Hearing about others’ D&D experiences as well as participating in my own campaigns have led me to wonder: What is so compelling about D&D for UCSD students? After further investigating student players’ experiences, it is clear that D&D not only offers a sense of community, but is also a welcome creative respite from the pressures of academic life. D&D is a role-playing game, or RPG, typically set within a fantasy realm. It was created in 1974 by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, who were inspired by fantasy-based wargames they liked to play. Members of a campaign party create their own characters based on guidelines presented in the D&D Player’s Handbook, and then elaborate on those bases by creating backstories that will match with that campaign’s plotline and world. Some campaigns use physical statues on a tabletop grid to represent their characters, but it’s more common for players to fully role-play as their characters while playing. The players are guided by a Dungeon Master, or DM, who determines the course of the campaign’s narrative and the players’ battles and interactions with characters within the game’s world. According to the D&D official website, “the core of D&D is storytelling,” meaning that while the actual gameplay is guided by rules set forth in the handbook, each campaign’s world and story arch is a completely unique experience. What truly ensures this unpredictable, life-like element are the dice each player uses. Every major decision over the course of each session is determined via 6 dice, ranging from what is known as a d4, a four-sided die, to a d20, a twenty-sided die. Between these predominant elements of chance, open character development, and few restrictions on the type of world your DM builds, the creative opportunities for D&D campaigns are endless. When D&D began to gain popularity in the ‘70s, many comments from non-players were speculative and negative. Some socially conservative and religious groups viewed the elements of magic and demons as potentially dangerous for young people, and due to

Mug Exchange You can never have too many mugs. Have everyone come with a mug, or, if you have enough time, buy some plain mugs and hold a decorating party, where people are free to draw or write anything they wish on said mug. Then, assign a number to each mug and have each person pull a number out of a hat. You’ll all have new receptacles for hot chocolate in no time.
