Sarah Palin may have gotten in trouble for paying almost $33,000 for her makeup and hair over the course of her vice presidential campaign, and let’s not forget, John McCain spent $5,500 on makeup during the 2008 campaign season, John Edwards’ infamous $1,250 haircut; former British Prime Minister Tony Blair spent £1800, — $2,888, for those non-UK among us — on makeup. But before we grill our world leaders for being shallow or poke fun at them for wearing a three- inch-thick matte non-shine mask, we should remember that harsh TV studio lighting, combined with the pore magnifying effect of high defi- nition, can make any swan look like an ugly duckling. Research from the Journal of Public Economics showed that vot- ers are subconsciously swayed by better looking candidates. Subjects in the study were asked to rank the attractiveness of politicians along with their perceived intellect, com- petence, credibility and friendliness. The results showed that a point increase in a candidates’s perceived attractiveness correlated with sig- nificant increases in his or her per- ceived leadership qualities.

The UCSD Women’s Soccer team heads to Hawaii for a rematch against San Francisco State as the Tritons begin their run into the NCAA Division II Tournament. island HOPPING By Rachel Uda • S W

he women’s soccer team is headed to Hawaii, where they will play their first match in the NCAA Division-II tournament this week against No. 6 seed San Francisco State University. An NCAA selec- tionT committee announced on Monday that the Tritons, who ended their regular season with a 14-2-2 record, had clinched a place in the national tournament, falling to the No. 3 seed in the West region behind No. 1 seed Seattle Pacific University and No. 2 seed Brigham Young University- Hawaii.

With a 10-4-2 conference record, the Gators snubbed Cal State Dominguez Hills to get the last spot in the CCAA playoffs, where they beat the Tritons in the semifinal round and upset top-ranked Cal State Los Angeles to capture the conference title. Thursday’s game will mark the third meeting between the Tritons and the Gators this season. On Sept. 26, the teams played to a scoreless draw in a match that went to double overtime. Similarly, in their semifinal defeat, the Tritons sent the game into overtime, where they were defeated by the Gators 4-3 in a penalty shootout. When asked if UCSD will make any tactical adjustments in prepara- tion for the match, junior captain Annie Wethe said the Tritons are feeling confident and will look to stay the course.

The second match was in the CCAA tournament on Nov. 5, when the Gators were able to advance after penalty kicks. Thursday’s match will feature the conference’s top two goalies, UCSD’s Kristin Armstrong and SFSU’s Annicia Jones, who made the All-CCAA First and Second Team, respectively. Goals will be scarce, but the Tritons have an edge in goals per game with 1.95 against the Gator’s 1.35. One goal in regulation will most likely prove to be a winner, although penalty kicks might once again be decisive.

SECOND ROUND VS. BYU HAWAII Nov. 14, 10 p.m. at Waipio, HI

Should UCSD emerge victorious against San Francisco, hosts BYU-Hawaii await the Tritons. The Seasiders have just one loss this sea- son — against island rival Hawaii Pacific — and have played West Region No. 1 Seattle Pacific to a draw. Aside from the loss, BYU-Hawaii was dominant this season, scoring 45 goals in 17 games while allowing just eight.
