I started skateboarding when I was 8 years old. My first board was a Variflex that I received as a birthday present from my parents. Over the next 15 years, skateboarding would prove to be an integral part of my adolescent development. I met peo­ ple and skated in places around L.A. that most residents of my hometown > i n wouldn’t consider entering, not even in the daytime. I feel that, as an indirect result of growing up as a “skater,” I began to develop a sensitivity to the fact that others, coming from different situa­ tions than my own, perceived the world in a much different way than 1 did. The important thing, I realized, was that you had to respect these other ways of looking at the world, in the hope that others would respect your own. I brought both this developing awareness — and my skateboard — to UCSB. Happily enough, I’ve been able to continue the evolution of Bring Back the Wall “There are so many people Plans to Revive the Expression Wall Should Proceed— Carefully riding skateboards rom 1991 to 1994, Storke Plaza dence of a direct link between the pre­ was home to UCSB’s very own ex­ sence of an expression wall and explo­ on campus now pression wall.

By Morgan G. Williams Stiff Writer ______■______

The UC Santa Barbara women’s water polo team improved its re­ cord to 5-4 overall and 1-2 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation by splitting two games on the road over the weekend. The Gauchos lost to 1996 national champions UCLA 11-7 on Sa­ turday before defeating UC San Diego 6-4 on Sunday. Both teams came out shooting Saturday, with three balls ending up in the back of the net during a 57-second stretch in the opening quarter. UCSB Head Coach Joe O’Brien believes that a fast-paced game is not to the Gauchos’ advantage. “That team has been playing together for two years,” he said. “They have lots of experience. That’s not the kind of game you want SPORT: Baseball ACCOMPLISHMENT: to get into.” His two home runs on UCLA outscored Santa Barbara by two goals in each of the first two quarters and led 7-3 at halftime.
