I’m extremely sorry to report that Chang-Lin Tien, beloved chancellor of Berkeley from 1990-1997 died this past Tuesday, October 29, 2002. He was the first Asian-American chancellor of a major American university, and a tireless supporter of equality and opportunity at Berkeley. More about his legacy is published here. But in addition to being a great chancellor during a really difficult time in Cal’s history, he was truly a kind and giving person who loved Berkeley and its students. Today, I told a bunch of Cal students here the news, and every one was genuinely saddened. In all my time at Berkeley, I never met a single student who didn’t love him. Goodbye, Chancellor Tien! Go Bears!

Well, it’s the start of week 3, and the temperature is plummeting. 48 degrees, and dropping fast. School’s pretty cool, but time’s precious, which paradoxically means I waste more time on stupid stuff than ever before. We’ve started the slow tedius process towards our future careers, and I must say that I haven’t gotten that far. Check back later for more details, but I’m thinking about a fireman or an astronaut right now.
The other day, we had a photo shoot at school for the upcoming Business Week rankings, where we gathered in the atrium, and took a group picture with a thousand people. It’s my pic of the day, so check it out, and see if you can find me. Hint: lower left.
