There were no pink slips in the room and graduating students were getting job interviews. An EOP student profile te/fi/ig the story of success Vox The Pride The CSUSM Career and Assessment Center presents the fair every spring. Sandy Punch, director of the Career and Assessment Center said, "I think considering the current state of the economy, this fair was a big success. [Job seekers] got quality time with the districts, and overall, districts seemed positive about hiring our candidates." 56 school districts and teacher recruitment centers throughout California and Nevada came to talk to the 412 candidates looking for jobs as teachers. These districts all had jobs for graduating students; they did not just have promises of jobs, but j obs that are available now. Sheldon Kelman will graduate this May from the CSUSM credential program, and he reported that it was a "Great job fair, [but he was] a little disappointed there wasn't more out of state school districts." Natalie Metras, also graduating in May, said that the overall fair was a "Great presentation; [recruiters] were all so helpful." She went on to say the teacher prep program was very helpful and that the College of Education taught her just what she needs to know about looking for a job. Local school districts that participated in the event included Fallbrook Union Elementary, Lake Elsinore Unified School District (USD), Murrieta Valley USD, Temecula Valley USD, and Vista USD.

Following the two-day meeting, the BOT announced their decision Thursday, March 13 at Cal State Fullerton. It seemed from an early start that Gonzalez was favored to be the new president at Sacramento. Gonzalez was the only finalist who had worked in the CSU system and he had been personally asked by Chancellor Charles B. Reed to apply for the presidency. There was further speculation that Gonzalez would not have applied if Reed would not support his candidacy. Gonzalez has denied this and believes that the other two finalists, law professor J. Clark Kelso and University of Houston President Karen Haynes, had equal opportunities for the position. Marcos.

The broken water pipes and flooded classrooms provided CSUSM an ideal opportunity for this very thing. "We handle electrical [outages] every once in a while and make contingency plans for them...but this is the first time we have had a flooding problem." The difference between an electrical problem and a flooding problem in terms of class locations is that in a power outage, the only classes truly affected are those which rely partially or entire on computers. In that case, Barsky directs classes that use computers to a number of other computer lab sites on campus with preprinted signs, while the other classes that do not rely on computers have to option to meet at the teacher's discretion.

The advisors* current CSUSM students, are nervous, anxious, and excited to set the bar for future RA's, and to blaze a trail for the future of CSUSM's 24-hour campus community. Although the residence hall will not be ready until next September, the RA's are already working in full swing to prepare for what they feel is a very exciting event. They are currently giving tours of the housing facilities, assisting the University Villages staff, and training together to create what they feel is a very important sense of community for themselves and their residents. The nine RA's for next fall will be Jimmy Barbour, Shannon Barnett, Jasen Braginton, Denise Caroj Bree Daniels, Jennifer Hauser, Chrisitina Polowsky, Carlos Quichocho, and Jesse Taylor. Being one of the first RA's at CSUSM is seen as a great honor for these nine students.

Hell's Angels also drove their motorcycles indiscriminately through the throng, injuring several people, and used full beer cans as projectiles to hurl at the gathered mass. The situation developed into a deadly crescendo when the Grateful Dead refused to go on stage due to the violence and the Rolling Stones delayed their set because they wanted to be filmed as the Sun was setting. The long delay coupled with the 30-degree temperatures in the Altamont pass seemed to ratchet up the fear and anger already present in the crowd. At this point both the concert and the documentary take on a weird surrealistic quality. As soon as the Rolling Stones take the stage and begin the intro to "Sympathy for the Devil" skirmishes begin breaking out at the edge of the stage. The band stops and starts playing several times as both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards plead with the crowd to stop fighting. The Hell's Angels beat a member of the audience unconscious and dragged him onto the Dance S tudents Portray Maids stage. A naked young woman, obviously in an advanced state of intoxication, attempts to climb onto the stage and receives similar treatment. Then, most horribly, 18-yearold Meredith Hunter is stabbed several times in full view of the documentary cameras. In spite of the hallucinatory combination of evening haze and blinding strobe lights one can clearly see the Hell's Angels identifying "colors" and the sinister glint of the knife as it enters the doomed Hunter's neck. Hunter died from the stab wounds and the horrific beating he received, as he lay helpless-on the ground. The film shows that Hunter may have been holding a gun, and the Hell's Angels have always claimed that they acted to prevent Hunter from shooting at the stage. Others say that several members of the Hell's Angels had been assaulting Hunter, an African-American, because he was with a White girl" and. that Hunter drew a pistol in self defense. To this day, no one knows exactly what happened. What everyone knows is that the youth culture of the 1960s lost its innocence, and the Rolling Stones inane Marvel Comics image of darkness came to chilling fruition while the cameras rolled in "Gimme Shelter."

Out of State & Out of Luck By AMBER ROSSLAND For The Pride As a productive member of the CSUSM student community, I reached for the stars and strived for excellence. I was on the dean's list of academic excellence during every semester of my college career. Taking five classes a semester, maxing out on credits, and putting in a 40-hour workweek, I managed to complete every course I thought I needed for graduation. Apparently, however, hone of these achievements served as a measure of my success in the jumbled graduation advisement and evaluation process at CSUSM.

When we are given more notice, we are more able to-accommodate the busy schedule of a university president and other important sources for the article. CSUSM's external affairs department, headed by Rick Moore, failed to include The Pride when "courtesy notices" were sent out to the other papers on Feb 26. Moore finally notified us on the morning of Feb. 28. But perhaps that's the point. This isn't thefirsttime that The Pride has been 'unintentionally' left out ofimportant events that are occurring on campus. Many of you may remember last fall when one of CSUSM's own students had disappeared and tragically committed suicide. Moore's office and the local media had a press conference with Alex Zingaro's parents while the search for him was still on, but The Pride was once again left out of the loop - we found out about that press conference from the local papers as well. Moore would have us believe that the reason for the delay is because, as he put it, the daily papers need more notice than The Pride, which is a weekly paper. We argue that we, the only student-run press of CSUSM, need as much notice as possible — specifically because we are a weekly paper. We don't have the luxury of a staff of full-time (paid) reporters that can drop everything and cover aritory. Furthermore, as students we are less able to arrange our schedules in order to accommodate the availability of President Gonzalez - if we are ever to hope for an You are told to trust advisors, ask them what classes to take, ask them to evaluate your graduation requirements, but when it comes down to it, you are left alone to deal with the consequences of their errors. What kind of system is CSUSM running where it takes so long for them tofigureout that you are missing a class that there is no way you can even register for it until a year after the fact? This is a small university right now, but looking into the future, what are they going to do as it grows? Will it take them a year after you're gone tofigureout you need one more class? Do they expect you to drop your entire life and move back to take one class because of their mistake? I wish I knew. Moore's actions speak louder than his words. Without allowing us access to the story, we fall behind the local papers in covering the events on our own campus. How can we ever hope to establish a successful journalism program at CSUSM i f the student newspaper is neglected so blatantly in the face of real news? We're not asking for an exclusive, but we do expect equality. Our question then to the administration is this - i f we are to prove ourselves in any capacity to be a legitimate news medium indeed the only free student press at CSUSM, how are we supposed to do so without university support? The administration tells us that we are customers of this institution of higher learning, and yet they leave us in the dark and fail to notify us when something important happens. This i s incredibly bad customer service. EDITORIAL In the past, Moore and other members of his office have been quick to tell the editors and staff writers that he is "one of us." We have listened to him tell us all about his stint with other college newspapers, and what a supporter he is of student journalism. Moore's oversight in not notifying The Pride staff of this important story, and others like it - whether it was intentional or nót - is inexcusable. We are tired of being ignored Mr. Moore, and we expect to be notified in the same way and at the same time as airy other newspaper. �C AMPUS LIFE (for 24-hour permits) will resemble the current rate of the general permits that are offered to all CSUSM students." First of all, how is the term "current rate" defined? The current rate of spring passes is less money than the raised price fall passes will be, and the residence halls are scheduled to open in the fall. So what price will the residents be paying? No matter how much the cost, student residents will have a "reserved" parking spot for the semester. At least campus residents, in all fairness, will have the privilege to park on pavement for 24 hours while many of us continue to park in the mud and be out of the lot by 5:30 or fined. Dear editors: Many students complain that there is never anything to do on campus, that we don't have an active campus life. But considering the fact that we are a commuter campus, I believe we have an active campus life; you just have to look around to see all the wonderful events that are hosted.

So on March 17-20, you will have die opportunity to support these events. If the IRA increase is passed, it will allow allocate more money to events hosted on campus. So for all of you who complain that there is no campus life, this is your opportunity to ensure that there will be. Just think, if it were not for the IRA, you would not be reading this article, since The Pride is run and published on IRA funds. Vote yes on the IRA increase on March 17-20. With much appreciation, Karin Giron Senior, Business PARKING ISSUES Dear Editors: After reading The Pride article, "CSUSM is becoming a 24-hour campus," I was relieved to find out that the university is indeed concerned with the parking issue here on campus, that is, only for the fall residents of the University Village apartments. According to the article, a 24-hour parking lot is currently under construction to accommodate the 460 students that will occupy the buildings scheduled to open in fall '03. I have yet to hear of any near future solutions to the current parking crisis on campus, but at least the University Village residents will be taken care of. According to the article, "Prices I have no doubt that fall admissions will once again exceed the parking availabilities for commuter students, but does this lack of spaces for Village residents mean that regular parking will be even more impacted during class times? During the 2002-2003 school year, Cal State San Marcos admitted more students than parking accommodations were available for. We are dreamers if we believe this will change any time soon, especially because the more students the university lets in, the more funding it will have toward the parking structure that our children who attend the university will get to use. Why didn't the University plan for population growth and facility expansion long ago? It is easy for administration to decide that parking rates will go up due to their lapse in logic while the number of available spaces will stay the same. And now, the concern of the university goes to the village residents and their parking facilities. It must be a coincidence that the students who will be contributing more to CSUSM's profit will be likewise rewarded with benefits. It is clear that Cal State is an institution for the capitalists and by the capitalists, and it is tragic that money and not education is the driving force behind the school. If I am going to be treated like a consumer at this university, then at least give me some consumer rights.

So now that you've got that money what can you do with it? Let's see, going to the movies will run you about nine bucks, add some popcorn and soda and you've pretty much spent the entire fifteen dollars. How about a concert? Well, if you wanted to see any big name band $15 might get you a toe inside the venue, but that's it. Perhaps there's a famous author speaking at an event, While the cost might befreeat the rate gas prices are going it would probably cost you your entire $15 to drive there and park.

Free movies, free worldrenowned speakers, free concerts, free art events.. all brought to you through the Arts & Lectures series which is funded directly through the IRA fee (Instructionally Related Activities fee) which you pay as part of your student fees each semester. If you're like me you probably don't pay much attention to what the heck it is that our semester fees cover, but this is one time you really should. In a nutshell, some of the major programs the IRA fee helps fund are; the Arts and Lectures Series, the Pride Newspaper, Intercollegiate Athletics, the Pow Wow, and the Intercultural Speaker Series. The IRA fee has been $5 per semester for the past 12 years and as we all know, the cost of everything has gone up. In order to bring our campus in line with the average for all CSU campuses (range is $4-$ 111 per semester), there is a referendum up for a vote March 17-20, asking for small increases over the next 3 years. The first increase would be from $5 to $20 starting this summer with subsequent $5 increases through 2006, bringing the total to $35. I realize that all of us were hit with some pretty big increases this semester (parking ring a bell?), but this is one time that I beg you to not scoff at the idea of forking over a bit more money. When you think of all the good that a measly $15 can bring to your university experience, doesn't it seem worth it to skip . a few Starbucks trips or pass up that next meal out and instead put that $15 to better use? The week of March 17-20 each and every one of you has the opportunity to H OW THE WAR IS AFFECTING M Y P OCKETBOOK Consumers, When I first arrived in Germany in September of 2002, before war with Iraq was imminent, the exchange rate between the Euro and the dollar was slightly in my favor. In general it was about a 1 to 1 ratio. This meant that I easily avoided the task of converting amounts in my head when making purchases or having to carry a pocket calculator with me at all times. A shirt costing 5 Euro was 5 dollars to me, and taking out 300 Euro was 300 Dollars. With the US on the brink of war I have watched the Euro grow to become stronger than my buck. The 10cent difference since September may not seem like a lot, but 10 cents on ever dollar means 30 lost when I take 300 out of the ATM, and it adds up. Since then, my fellow American students and I are constantly watching the rates stray from our favor. One student, enraged when she found a few hundred dollars to be missing from her bank account, realized she hadn't been calculating the exchange rate difference since it had so drastically changed. This war is affecting my pocketbook. It hasn't even begun (officially) yet, and the speculation has weakend the American dollar. My current Professor who is from Australia even remarked that the Australian dollar is the strongest its been all year in comparison to the American dollar. This is new tome. I grew up in Detroit, on the US Canadian border and fully took advantage of the great exchange rates to go shopping or go on a short vacation. When I moved to San Diego, I found the same luxuries in Mexico. As an American, I always thought exchanges would be in my favor. This is a metaphor for how I thought about cultural relationships as well. In the past, I believed that being an American meant that people around the world looked up to me. That I had the better lifestyle and cultural values. I didn't go around flaunting it or anything, but the bias existed within me, and I didn't even realize it until I ventured off US soil for more than some cross cultural shopping or a vacation. how much they love America and would like to live there, but that I have met just as many people who aren't at all thrilled with the American way. This is perfectly ok with me, in fact its wonderful. In the same way I appreciate so many things that my American lifestyle affords me, others should bask in the sunlight of their cultural values too. It is what makes the world worth experiencing. Adaptability is the key, not letting your cultural norms blind you from seeing another way and view on doing things. I only wish that I could get my 10 cents back for every time I have realized this. By Emily Commer Senior Global Business Management IP Germany POLITICS Dear Editors: A recent exchange of editorials in The Pride newspaper regarding a liberal bias on campus has deeply troubled me. The latest response, written by Sean Mattingly (junior, Business) was particularly specious. In it, he calls for liberals to "have a little respect for your country, its history, its founders, and your freedom." Although no one would argue with the ideals his statement embraces, such words do little to address the real issues that endanger freedom in our world today—nor do they encourage the kind of constructive analysis that is essential to any thinking individual. When we do take the time to study our nation's history, we learn that the struggles that have defined this country are far from simple—they can't be easily couched into a neat little package and stamped "freedom." The story of America is, in fact, the story of the struggle between classes. This is not, as Mr. Mattingly suggests, "only in (our) mind(s)." There is no liberal or conservative here, no right or wrong—just facts inherent to capitalism. Higher education is a place for questioning and reasoning, not a place for parroting half-truths and clichés. The fact that this nation was born from—and developed alongside— the class struggle is not something to ignore in the name of some larger sense of nationalism. What we get then is only an ideology of ignorance, and that is certainly not what we all agree makes America great. Today exposure to the real issues and perspectives from both sides is very hard to come by. The media system is controlled by a handful of international corporations and real investigative journalism is fast becoming a casualty of bottom-line profits. Although it is difficult to gain exposure to "both sides of the coin," this is exactly what we must strive for: a true understanding of Living in Germany I see how the motives behind the policies much the Germans appreciate which shape our country and their rules, systems, and ways of doing things. Not to say that See POLITICS, page 12 I don't meet people who tell me �POLITICS from page 1 1 determine our freedoms. We must remember that money is a very powerful motivator in the contemporary world. We must, especially as scholars, pursue all avenues of thought and make assessments of those perspectives based upon knowledge. What I am talking about here is intellectual responsibility. There is nothing more patriotic than this. It is time to start demanding of each other—and most importantly, of ourselves—a greater commitment to civic responsibility. This means we must move outside the boxes of thought that are imposed upon us when we turn on the television. We must remain skeptical—all thinking people do. Today it is more important than ever to do so, as our country prepares to engage in war, and likely without the support of the United Nations—a body politic that stands for the collective voice of the civilized world. Only through careful consideration can we become constructive participants in the noble struggle to achieve "a new birth of freedom—(so) that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" (Abraham Lincoln, 1863). Robert Woerheide Junior, LTWR MEDIA POLITICS ment of life...for all minorities..." Okay then, why not go to another country just for a few years, then come back, look us in the eye, tell us life is better somewhere else, and prove us wrong? You do that, and we'll shut up about it. In addition, you praised Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine, which showed Canada to be a "progressive, egalitarian society..." Funny I don't see Michael Moore packing up and leaving either. I did not mean to go on such a long tangent, but I felt those issues had to be addressed. In closing: this is a public institution. And therefore it is wrong to use people's tax dollars in support of one set of beliefs over another. As my father likes to say, "the only place where communism still thrives is the American University system." And you two - along with some teachers here - are living proof. Brian Dobbins Senior, Communication INALIENABLE RIGHTS Dear Editors: I am responding to the editorials in the 03.11.03 issue of the Pride. I would first like to point out that not all conservatives think like Mr.Mattingly. Mr. Mason put it succinctly that Mr. Mattingly's views "were perhaps branded at a young age." I agree that his verbiage comes across a bit terse and offensive at times and it may be due to his limited exposure to differing opinions from his own. out a way to assist Mr. Mattingly without alienating his ideas. He, too, must make an effort not to alienate the opinions that are different from his own. He should have afforded all of you the same courtesy! Everyone involved has therightto express an opinion and it is interesting to see the flow of dialogue, but it has turned into a "bash fest" more than the free exchange of ideas. regard each others as equals. So why are we living under a constitution that declares this inborn right? If we all believed we were truly equal, we would treat everyone with the respect and compassion that we desire to be treated with. We would look at a situation that places inconveniences in our 24-hour day and take it for what it is: a passing, fleeting instance. "This too will pass." Sometimes, it takes a bigger person to stand up and do what is right instead of continuing this cycle of negative debate. At some point, we need to allow "bygones to be bygones" and start over on a clean slate. In doing this, respect must be extended to everyone on both sides of the coin in order to facilitate this free exchange of ideas. We live in a very populated world. People are not going to disappear. So, why not enjoy them while we are alive. Treat the situation that stalls your day for a mere 10th of a second as a tiny instance in the large scale of your life. Smile more, whine less.

I was calmly waiting for the light to turn green. As I heard a horn honk, I glanced to my right to be faced with a woman, in a red sports car, screaming obscenities, waving her hands in the air, implying that she demanded I move my vehicle forward so that she could make a right turn. On another note I have noticed while driving to school as well that trees along interstate 15 are being cut down. While at the same time landscaping is being done at CSUSM. Why some effort can't be made to relocate these trees to CSUSM so that students can enjoy them for years to come. Even though it may not be cost effective the beautification of CSUSM is priceless!

It was held aboard the Queen Mary, where delegates represented the nations of Cuba, Serbia and Montenegro, South Africa, and Turkey. To these delegates, the conference marked the end of a grueling month-long preparation process which consisted of biweekly late night meetings and hours of research undergone by each of the members, who were responsible for learning the policies of their nations, and the issues that would be discussed during the conference. Issues ranged from the restoration of Afghanistan to peacekeeping operations.

March 15—Spring Fling, the Associated Student Incorporated sponsored event, was cut short after a guest in attendance jumped overboard. The dance, held on the San Diego Harbor Excursions "Spirit Of San Diego" yacht, began late due to a lack of cooperation from many guests in attendance. As the entrance room to board the boat crowded, secu? rity asked guests to separate in two lines: under 21 and over 21. Guests became restless the longer they had to wait. Visibly intoxicated students boarded the yacht, while one guest even vomited on several students. Once students settled on the yacht, they visited the casino tables or the dance floor. However, roughly forty-five minutes after the yacht departed, casino dealers closed their tables and security informed students the dance was over. None of the intended raffle prizes were distributed.'The yacht docked at least an hour and a half earlier, even though the original end-time for the event was 12 a.m. "I am ashamed of our school As Americans contemplate who will be the next leader of our nations, CSUSM students also must pick the new leader of the campus in the ASI elections. According to Student Life and Leadership, the department that facilitates the elections, students will again *be able to vote online. Students can cast electronic ballots on the election days, March 24-27. This year, all positions of the ASI Board are open. These include ASI President and CEO, Vice President of Operations, Vice President of Marketing, Vice President of Finance, Student at Large Representative, and Representatives from the College of A rts and Science, College of Business and Administration, and College of Education.

"I could not believe they allowed people under 21 that were visibly drunk— couldn't even walk-^-on the boat. I even saw two people having sex in the middle of the poker room, next to. the dealer. The security guards came and I heard them say, 'This tìiing is over. Everybody needs to start moving to the front. Somebody just jumped off and we're going back to shore."' See Fling, Page 4 Pizza and Politics Food for thought: Healthcare Strieker provides related articles for students to read beforehand to stimulate discussion during the event. The first article, "Arguments Mount for a National Healthcare System" by David R. Francis, discusses the health care system and the promises made by presidential hopefuls. The second article, "Coming Soon: Healthcare Debate, Fart 2" by Kevin Sack, discusses McCain's aim for tax credits for private insurance policies, Clinton's aim for universal healthcare, and Obama's aim for health insurance for children.

Safer Spring Break Week See Elections, Page 4 Dream Act forum BY VIRIDIANA PACHECOISACC Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos Sociology professor Dr. Marisol ClarkIbanez knows a special second grader, and it breaks her heart. This student, she said, studies hard, is smart and will often challenge herself to study harder ~ the prototype student that often excels in her educational career. The circumstances, however, are against her. This second grader is among the millions across the country who are illegally brought to the United States by their parents— often becoming Americanized— only to grow up t o fund their opportunities are cut shod upon high school graduation. CSUSM migrant advocate group Esiritu de Nuestro Futuro (Spirit of our Future) held a forum March 13 to bring awareness to SB 160 or the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, a legislature that would grant undocumented students who continue on to college the opportunity to apply for legal U.S. residence. The legislation has been reintroduced into the ^ Senate See Forum, gage 4 �i tiE^PjugE E d i t o r i a l ; ¡|Hvms ¡HIB I ill T oria S V V AB Getting involved isn't the easiest thing to do. It is definitely not the easiest thing to get people to do. As diverse as the college camgus may be, we all speak the same language when it comes to our money. Like it or not, with current proposals in place, each and every member of the campus community will see how these budget cuts personally affect them. Increased prices of parking permits will soon be the least of our worries. While the increased permit fees will go to use—in theory, the increase in tuition fees only serve to alleviate the cuts to the CSU system. According to Budget Options for student to get involved Central, CSUSM gets 85% of its revenue from State of California appropriation and State University fees. That same source mentions that the University Budget Committee (UBC) is in charge of deciding how CSUSM will allocate reductions. Each of the five campus divisions (President's Office, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, University Advancement, and Finance and Administrative Services) have been asked to take an 8.15% reduction from their fiscal year 2007-08 permanent revenue. As luck would have it, the state finalizes the proposed cuts during summer break. Although the Governor has to touch up his proposal in May and the finance committees have until June 1 to finalize a bill, similar situations rarely render results by the appointed deadline. If that is the case, we may not know for certain what the final budget is until early fall. The issue is not what is going on but whether anything can be done to change it. The overwhelming majority on campus agrees that this situation is awful. What does this all mean? What can I do about it? Where can I find out more? Visit www.allianceforthecsu. org and www.csusm.edu/plan/ budgetcentral for anything and everything you need to know. Candidates of the presidential primaries have sold promises of change as a theme for the campaign trail. If change is, in fact, the answer—it has to begin at the grassroots. CSU may be the solution but students are the driving force of that solution. Instead of putting the issue on the back burner until fall (when it will be too late to contest it), students need to infiltrate in full force— volunteering, making phone calls, sending letters. .. .by any means necessary. ry W V v peti ars PrideComics ILL T pride@csusm.edu III H ä ^s By Amanda Andreen • By Nick Strizver ISlCNtfWOft > < 8:30 pm A ll opimom * a nd l etters t o Tnv^sJ« -f ù w ¿fa ACs\ *.•"> é i ¡¡Mil QT mm.

I can take no more. Your incompetence has haunted me since I was a small child, and today, we settle this once and for all. There was no higher treat as a tiny person than your own box of delicious and educational animal crackers. It was like an edible National Geographic special. They also contained significantly less false advertising than those frosted circus animals (At the age of 5, I went to the circus expecting to see pink-spotted deliciousness and instead got a bunch of depressed elephants.) After years of eating your product though, I can no longer eat or sleep until I bring a problem to your attention. With every box I open, I should be able to start an entire zoo on my tabletop. Yet, as with a classic example from a box consumed on March 17,2008,1 got five sheep and only half of a hippo's hind end. To be perfectly honest, cracker people, I am no shepherd. Nor would I take anyone to a zoo that had five sheep, a couple camels, a hippo's bum, and only the trunk of an elephant. I have a walrus without a head. What do you expect me to do? Call Ripley's Believe It or Not? Open a sideshow? SETTLE FOR LESS THAN I DESERVE?!? In addition, I've had an extremely tough week. I understand that divine healing, funeral arrangements and hair straightening probably don't fall under your company's jurisdiction, but I really don't know how I'm expected to accomplish or support any of those things when all I have is one left side of a rhinoceros. Perhaps it isn't your fault as employees of the Cracker Zoological Foundation. Perhaps these are all accidents that happen during shipping. But I beg you, please consider taking a more proactive approach. If these "accidents" all happen during transit, then there is veritable massacre taking place between your holding pens and the supermarkets of this country. As responsible entrepreneurs, I would advise you to consider other methods for moving your animals. Perhaps if you put them in breathable crates, with each animal surrounded by its own silk pillows, I wouldn't have just the tail and a single rear leg of a donkey. Illustration by Amanda Andreen you re not i nt e n tionally trying to upset me, and I'm aware that no problem can be resolved until it is brought to a company's attention. But now that you know, please, I beg of you, take the necessary steps so that I, and the good people of this nation, never have to settle for headless lions again.

The next and final Pizza and Politics for this semester takes place on April 22, Earth Day, in Markstein Hall 102 during University Hour. Professor Bray will lead a discussion on the environment. A trend shows increasing attendance. Therefore, attendees should arrive as early as possible. "Maybe I would like to see Pizza and Politics as a permanent function. I think it would be interesting and effective with a few revisions," said Sophomore Social Science Major Gabriella Pruitt. Future topics for next semester include poverty and the economy, immigration, and the 2008 Presidential Election. ADP also plans to co-sponsor mock debates for students. "If you have a chance, you really should make it to one of these meetings. They are very informational, and it is not useless information. It is stuff about our lives. So at least attending one would be beneficial to each of us, I think," said Senior Literature and Writing Major Adam Lowe. Disappointed guests departed for their cars while many others waited for the Party Bus to return. "The Titanic was less of a disaster. It was basically pure insanity. Tons of drunk minors.

This isn't the case with Sandra Doller, who last month read at the San Diego Museum of Art. As an accomplished author and poet, she is an assistant professor at CSUSM. In April, Professor Doller is reading at Chapman University and hosts a monthly reading series in San Diego. She is the editor of 1913 press and she sits down in an interview to discuss performing, writing, and the next president of the United States. The Pride: So, the first thing I want to ask is what are you currently reading? Sandra Doller: Mostly I an} spending my time reading student writing from my Advanced Creative Writing graduate class. Last week, we read Joe Wenderoth's Letters to Wendy's, which are actually letters to the fast food chain in the form of prose poems but actually build up to kind of a novel. Pride: How did you come to work on poetry? Doller: I didn't do creative writing as an undergrad. I was in theater and did performance art and playwriting which has connections to poetry and I see that now. I did cinema studies for my MFA at the University of Chicago, and t hat's when I really became interested in connections to early 20th century poetry and other art forms like painting and cinema. Pride: That's how art just seems to work out, isn't it? Doller: I think so. I was writing these performance pieces as an undergrad and I was j ust doing it on the side before I even took a creative writing class. I thought I was writing stories, but then someone told me they were prose poems. Pride: Do you have.a favorite poet right now? Doller: Fanny Howe. Anytime I can see Fanny read, I will go. I also enjoy Danzy Senna, who is also a really Tuesday 3/18 -af^e^lmance wonder novelist. Pride: What can you tell people about 19131 * Doller: I founded 1913 while I was a grad student doing my MFA at University of Iowa writers' workshop. I got into my head and thought, hey, wouldn't it be great t o have a journal that publishes contemporary poetry, fiction and non-fiction essays * and visual art. Pride: (flipping through the book) There's a lot of "visual poem" type of art. Doller: Exactly, and that's something that I'm really interested in. I applied for a grant in Iowa and that's how I was able to do this. And since then, it has been a labor of love that can be a great resource for students and something that I'm interested in sharing with CSUSM students and bring them to get involved with the editing and layout and all the things that go into making a magazine. Pride: Do students have the opportunity to work with you and 1913 at this time? Doller: Absolutely. I have a list and I'm constantly collecting names of students who are interested in participating. A couple of students, who I 'll call volunteer interns, went with me to, San Diego City College in October for a book fair there and we had a table and sold a few copies. The point is to get literature and art out into the world and I'm definitely interested in getting students on that. Pride: Now, you already have one book out, Oriflamme. I hear you've also got one on the way? Doller: I do, and it's called Chora. It'p a book of poems mostly and nonfiction prose poems and things that cross genres. That should be coming out soon. Pride: Last month, you read at San Diego Museum of Art. Tell me, what it was like reading not only in front of other artists, but also a number of your students as well? Doller: (laughing) I liked that part of it actually and felt more comfortable because I see the students more often that I see anybody else! I was really glad that Cal State students got to see the event and got to see Fanny read as well. I thought I'd be more nervous having students there, but it felt really friendly. * Pride: So, as kind of a break Reception m Freedom Marry A cryfc^t'QahvaaB(s^|^||^/ement gjlp^^ nfc*htohlv.Ftee W ednesday3/i9 refreshments • 7 Ä a . m , Craven Circle » . 1 1p¡¡¡J' | § , 3 :00-f:CPp.rri.

Of special note is CSUSM Extended Learning program, which is not exclusive to students, but is open to the community as well. Extended Learning features many educational courses that can tailor to one's academic, professional, or personal interests. Extending Learning [formerly known as Extended Studies] is in fact part of the university. The Extended Learning program contributes greatly to both the university and the community by providing leadership programs, online courses, continuing education studies, and ",workshops." In partietffar, two of the leadership programs that Extended Learning offers are Leadership North County and, most recently. Leadership Quest. Leadership North County prepares developing leaders to be strong, visionary, and familiar with issues impacting communities in San Diego's North County. Leadership North County begins every year in September and carries through June. Leadership Quest is the new addition to Extended Learning's services and begins its first term on March 25,2008. Leadership Quest is designed to help aspiring leaders to discover their personal leadetship style, develop skills that are inherent in strong community leaders, and create a strong foundation for future leadership paths. Leadership Quest differentiates itself from Leadership North County by that it is aimed for the young, "budding" professional leader to find and develop a leadership style. Leadership North County appeals to those who might have more experience with leadership and exposes them to significant issues in North County. Both of these programs are valuable assets to students and community members who want to learn and grew to be more effective leaders. Another part of Extending Learning is the eLearning Center, which offers a comprehensive selection of credit, noncredit, and certificates that are available online. The eLearning Center's selection of classes is quite large— there are over 5,000 classes to choose from with prices varying course by course. These online courses encom- pass many areas including business, education, finance, healthcare, insurance, languages, personal enrichment, service and hospitality, and technology. After completion of the course, one receives proof of completion with a certificate of completion. Depending on the student's needs, one can choose courses that offer credit, noncredit, or a certificate. Additionally, the continuing education option is a useful feature of the eLearning Center. It is very common arid mandatory for professionals to continue and update their education within their career field. The eLearning Center is a great resource to fulfill those requirements and provides of variety of courses that apply to many careers. The Online Certificate Program is available year-round. Open University is another program from Extended Learning open to the community, but some restrictions can apply to currently admitted CSUSM students. Through Open University, one can access main-campus classes that count toward "resident" credit. Open University provides the means to take CSUSM credit courses without being admitted to the university and the courses taken can be applied toward degree credit. This is a helpful program, especially if one missed the main-campus university application deadline. As well as the other programs mentioned, Extended Learning offers developmental teaching workshops that can be completed online or on campus, depending on the course. Extended Learning's Teacher Education programs are designed to create distinct professional developmental opportunities for educators in North San Diego region. CSUSM's Extended Learning is an extensive institution offering many academic and professional resources for students and the community. Extended Learning serves nearly 7,000 individuals a year and is becoming well known for the programs it offers.

M&M brand capitalizes on seductive myth BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Pledging to help the earth and the economy BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer In the U.S. and in many areas of the world consumerism has become one of the main topics discussed. As people become more environmentally aware they also become aware of solutions to growing environmental problems such as waste and pollution. Many of which can be linked to consumerism. But what may be "desirable" economically may not be "desirable" environmentally. In a study held by the U.N., known as the Human Development Report, it was said that "Today's consumption is undermining the environmental resource base. It is exacerbating inequalities. And the dynamics of the consumption-poverty-inequality-environment nexus are accelerating. If the trends continue without change — not redistributing from high-income to low-income consumers, not shifting from polluting to cleaner and production technolgies, not promoting goods that empower poor producers, not shifting priority from consumption for conspicuous display to meeting basic needs — today's problems of consumption and human development will worsen." The study also reveals that the U.S. and Illustration by Nick Strizver Europe alone spend billions of dollars on products, many of which we do not need. According to the study, U.S. Citizens have spent nearly eight billion dollars on cosmetics alone and Europe has spent nearly 11 billion dollars on Ice Cream. Anup Shah, a writer for globalissues.org, said, "Because consumption is so .central to many economies, and even to the current forms of globalization, its effects therefore are also seen around the world. How we consume, and for what purposes drives how we extract resources, create products and produce pollution and waste. Issues relating to consumption hence also affect environmental degradation, poverty, hunger, and even the rise in obesity that is nearing levels similar to the "official" global poverty levels." One solution for the growing amount of consumption is known as "The Compact." "The Compact" is a growing movement. Those involved pledge to not buy anything new for a year. This means no new clothes, new cars, new anything. Only the bare essentials like food and water can be "new." People who take the pledge try to find used products either online or in local t hrift shops. Kara McGuire, a reporter for The Star Tribune said, "The Compact, started by a group of San Francisco friends as a rebellion against what they see as gluttonous consumerism and its thoughtless destruction of the environment, turn the notion of consumerism on its head." So what exactly is involved in becoming part of The Compact? Those who wish to be part of The Compact don't have to sign any papers or join any online group, although one could if one wanted to, but all a member would have to do is pledge to themselves that they will not buy anything* new for a year and resist the lure of consumerism. Members must not buy anything new other than the exceptions of medicine, underwear, cleaning products, and no limits on food. One of the founders John P e r t y said, "We never meant to start a movement." From just a few friends discussing a better way to live came a movement that now involves more than 8,700 members of online user groups today, according to Star Tribune and TreeHugger.com. There are 50 user groups on yahoo from Thailand to Australia and other sites such as feedthepig.org that also help people budget better and learn how to better spend money in areas where it is needed. Sites like TreeHugger.com have many suggestions as to how to be more environmentally aware as well as how one can help the environment personally. "What is it about the Green ones?" Even though Valentine's Day has come and gone, there is still the opportunity to feel as though you're sitting on cloud nine.. .allegedly. According to varying rumors spread through word of mouth as well as the Internet, it is believed that green M&M's will increase sexual drive. Mars Company owner of the M&M's brand, has gladly capitalized on the allegation. Although there is question as to where the rumor came about, there is no question about a Mars Co.'s campaign m ad to support this J | j apparent myth. , J flj With the increased ¿ f£|ji sales of these par¿F ticularly colored ¿Maw candies here oncampus as well as other stores, popularity for -the new romantic color has increased. But what makes the green M&M's the color of romance? Quotirig the delicious package of green M&M's that this reporter just finished eating: "What is it about the green ones?" One would think that red would be more likely color to represent romance as opposed to an earthy color like green. With an important notice on the back of every package of green M&M's, Mars Co. has warned that "consumption of The Green Ones® may' result in elevated Romance Levels." Along with the "warning," the green M&M's sexualized message is backed by the only female M&M in the bunch.. .yes, the Green one. Even though the green color is said to make one feel like they're in lqve, in actuality, all the colors have the properties to help you feel the warm & fuzzies. The color isn't the culprit—it is ^ the chocolate. Chocolate is an aphrodisiac, which is known to increase sexual desire. The word "aphrodisiac" is derived from the Greek Goddess Aphrodite (goddess of love and lust). But even though every color of these delicious candies has the properties to help increase that libido, the point is that myths like these are f un and refreshing. It may not necessarily be true that the "green ones" increase sexjual desire, but then again, there is no one out there saying that they do not. Whether or not people believe this myth to be true, it definitely doesn't hurt to experiment and find out, especially if the experiment involves delicious hard-shelled candy and the potential of fantastic feelings. Green, red, or blue M&M's—^whatever the color of choice—they definitely put a new spin on the phrase "melts in your mouth, not in your hand." �Cougar Baseball devours La Sierra See full story on page 9 Photos by Tim Moore Pitcher Chris Skaaien works his way to a winning outing in game one of the Sunday doubleheader Cougars first baseman Jackson Chapelone attempts to pick off a La Sierra runner. ••aiiiiiiiiiiiaI•••••••••••••• Flag Football ends with a bang Two players from the SAE Raiders go up for an interception in the Championship game of ASI Flag Football season.

On May 3 at 5pm, runners will make their way around the school campus in celebration of the end of the school year in the Diploma Dash. Students and runners can register online at the Athletic department's website. Early registration is $25, while it is $35 the day of the race. According to the Athletic department, all proceeds will go toward student-athlete scholarships. Rather than an early morning race, the department set the race time for 5 p.m. to avoid the heat and accommodate student's study time. This historic event in the school history will also include shirts commemorating the first annual race, awards per age group, and post race festivities to meet student-athletes and coaches. After a year of class work, the Athletic department says this is way to celebrate the end of the school year and the graduates.

So from the Sweet 16 you will have North Carolina beat Washington St. Then Tennessee takes care of Louisville to face off in the North region finals. You'll see Vanderbilt get hot from the outside and beat Kansas while Wisconsin does the same and takes care of Georgetown. On the other side of the bracket we will watch Pittsburgh play a physical game with Memphis and take it in the final seconds while Texas finds a way to control the Lopez twins and sneak by Stanford. The West region will see UCLA pounce on Connecticut and then Duke walking over Baylor. Then in the elite eight, Tennessee will find a way to control the overrated Tyler Hansbrough to advance to face Wisconsin who will continue to find ways to control the tempo of the game. While Texas will take care of business in the South region and UCLA will find a way to reach the Final Four for the third year in a row. The Championship game will then be a match up between UCLA and Tennessee, which was is what I believed from preseason. UCLA will control the game and beat Tennessee 71-65 and finally give coach, Ben Holland, what he and his players have been working so hard for.

Susanne Bier, the unaccredited director, slightly broke the rule concerning the prohibiting of spectacular events when she put a car accident in this movie. However, this incident is crucial to the film and is the moment that shakes the viewer. Lead character, Joachim, j ust proposed to his girlfriend and is prepared for an exciting vacation with his friends when a car strikes him. Though the audience sees it coming, a wonderful movie, but the car crash that links the events is spectacularly raw. It opens following Gael Garcia Bernal's character as he is trying to get his dog to the hospital. For the sake of not spoiling the film, I will not reveal more. However, the coming crash jolts viewers. It comes come out of nowhere and can cause those watching to shout "Oi! " because it is so vicious. It is p ainful to watch, but it is not predictable and happens so realistically that the movie forcefully draws in viewers. This is a perfect example of what a car crash should be like. The next a rtful car crash comes from the Danish film "Elsker dig for evigt, which translates to " Open BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer R ecently in films, there is a loss of skills when it comes to p ortraying a car crash. No longer do filmmakers use this device in an a rtful way. In current US films, crashes involve expensive vehicles slamming into each other in ways that create a disproportionate amount of flames and explosives, such as in " XXX" and "The Fast and the Furious." There was once a time in Hollywood where the vehicle meant something. Films such as "Bullitt" and "The French Connection" respected cars and created exciting chases. Nowadays, cars simply slam into each other and blow up or have giant robots run right through them. Even a movie titled "Crash" did not have exciting car accidents. Based on a number of movies and their accidents, foreign filmmakers are superior in this skill. The first example comes from the year 2000 in Alejandro González Iñárritu's film "Amores Perros." The story is broken into three arcs all surrounding a horrific car accident.

BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer �A rHE PRIDE O C l^t Tuesday, March 18, 2008 Rick Ross From America's Highways to a 'Road Trip Nation' BY JON THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer It all began in 2001 with three guys who jUst graduated college and found themselves frustrated with the output of their education and not quite ready to jump into the real world. So they bought a recreational vehicle, maxed out their credit cards, started traveling and talking to people. The outcome is Road Trip Nation (RTN.) Years later, still going strong, RTN representatives found their way to CSUSM recruiting for their upcoming New Zealand road trip. "We often find even the most successful people don't know what they want from life. Going on these trips and talking to people you realize very quickly, you are not alone. ( • J f l h ^ Other people are lost too ^Hp and we're here to help ^ ¡ ^ ^ ^ K them explore. I've J P ^ ^ H E l ! found the people ^ ¡ j j l ^ ^ ^ E u r who are lost may member Daniel Sydlik. Think being out on the open road is what you need to help you figure it all out? Is there anyone out there in the world you want to talk to - someone who has inspired you that you would like to meet? RTN provides the chance to do just that. Through one of their RV road trips with a group, or an "indie trip" with a few friends, RTN is here to help get you out there. Kelli Taylor, another member of RTN, explains "The more you think you know the less sure about it all you may be. RTN is about having genuine experiences in the world and sharing them." More information, applications and FAQs for various trips and grants are available through RoadTripNation.com. Conditions do apply, students should take care to evaluate what grants are available and what is required of them to obtain funding. Be aware that grants are paid at the completion of your trip. Before you hit the road and "max out your credit cards," as per RTN's FAQs page.

With his sophomore album Trilla releasing last Tuesday, people were curious if it would live up to the enormous hype. Others wondered if he could even create another record to top his massive smash hit "Hustlin"' which was released back in 2006. Although I believe that no track on this album compares to the sensation you get when you still sometimes hear "Hustlin"' on the radio, it does not mean Rick Ross doesn't bring his "A" game this time around. With his deep bass voice combined with even deeper and tremendous beats, this is an album you buy so you can ride around in your car and bump your sub-woofers to their mass potential. Throughout Trilla, some songs will probably not stick out a whole lot the first couple of times you listen to them. Others will immediately catch your ears and hook you in as new favorites. Songs such as "Luxury Tax," "Reppin My City," and "The Bos?" are ones that will most likely be loved from the moment you hear the first beat. Another great thing that Rick Ross has going for him are the insane collaborations that he has on many of his tracks. Rick Ross features appearances come from artists such as Jay-Z, T-Pain, Young Jeezy, Brisco, Trick Daddy, and more. Although all of these artists have amazing tracks on this album, the most memorable collaboration on Trilla goes to New Orleans rapper LiP Wayne. His guest appearance on the track "Luxury Tax" is, by far, one of the best moments on the album. Overall, Trilla is a star-studded action packed album that will most likely be bumping through speakers for years to come.

From what I saw while eating there, it is the perfect type of restaurant for everyone. It is a great place to bring the family, fancy enough to bring a date, and hip enough for young adults to mingle at the bar. From the moment you step foot into Poseidon, you notice the chic bar and eating tables that surround you. One option of dining is to have your party eat around a huge stone fire pit in the middle of the table. The environment was very impressive and it gave the impression that you were eating at a very expensive five star restaurant. Although most meals were a little expensive, it was well worth the price. Entrees ranged from delicious seafood to many different variations of succulent chicken and pork chops. When dining you have the choices of eating inside, at the bar, or outside. One of the great perks about eating outside is the fact that you are literally feet away from the beautiful shores of the Del Mar beaches. This is especially nice if you are eating during the sunset because it is truly a great way to spend a meal. The nice thing about the inside is that it is a lot warmer and the atmosphere is very nice. The bar is a great way to spend the evening drinking with your friends and even meeting new ones. No matter where you sit, the service is excellent and the food is even better. Top your dinner off with one of their signature desserts and you will have had a perfect dinner experience that you will never forget. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

But don't hold your breath waiting for such a move at CSUSM. Last year, 1,000 adjunct professors at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks formed a union and nearly 2 ,000 parttimers in New Jersey's state colleges did the same. Adjuncts at Columbia College of Chicago currently are in the process of rallying in an effort for more money (a minimum of $ 3,000 per course) and say in decision-making. CSUSM part-time professors who make up slightly more than half of the faculty are not in the process of forming a separate union. Some indeed belong to the California Faculty Association, a union representing university instructors. Few CSUSM adjunct professors volunteered to even comment on the question. Adjunct Professor Elizabeth Clark, the campus' only French instructor, said she didn't have the time to participate in a union and also would not relish paying the monthly dues. Keith Dunbar, an adjunct math instructor, said he was not interested in unionizing because his goal was in reaching a full-time teaching position. Both Dunbar and Clark said they liked teaching at CSUSM and stressed that, as adjuncts, they received positive support both from full-time faculty members and other part-time instructors. "Dr. Stella Clark, my department head, is very supportive of me and my ideas with the program," said Clark. About 225 college-level institutions around the country have unions that jointly represent full and part-time faculty members, according to the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education. The California Faculty Association represents full and part-time professors at CSUSM, but not all faculty members choose to join it. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that it is difficult to unionize part-tiinef instructor becaiis<£ "tKe^re transient, they don't haveriiuchmoney to pay dues and they are more vulnerable to firing." But other part-timers say they see no need to unionize since they aren't exploited, The Chronicle reported. CSUSM has one of the youngest faculties in the country, according to Norma Yuskos from the Public Affairs Department. Hie high ratio of part-time to full-time professors in the College of Arts and Sciences reflects CSUSM's rapid growth rate and constant academic concentration shifty she said, adding, "This will continue until the university finds its niche." There are 112 full-time faculty and 113 part-time in the College of Arts and Sciences, most of whom teach exclusively. Only one of the 10 part-time instructors in the College of Business Administration, Bahram Scherkat, teaches exclusively. The remaining nine have jobs outside the university. The College of Education has 57 parttimee and 27 full-time professors. The Chronicle reported that part-timers account for more than 4 0 percent of college faculties nationwide..

Roosevelt once said that having a dog in the White House was a sure way to snag some friends. Though a canine indeed may be the ultimate ice-breaker, there are times when people simply pay too much attention to a dog. Just ask CSUSM senior Kristin Jensen, whose dog is close to a necessity most of the time. Jensen, a political science/liberal studies major who has cerebral palsy, adopted a 2-year-old golden retriever f rom t he Canine C ompanions f or Independence's Southwest Regional Center in Oceanside. Lee Pieterse, development associate for the regional center, said one of the organization's biggest dilemmas is the frequent distraction people inadvertently provide when they pet a working dog. "People want to pet the dogs, that's why they are called pets," she said. But, she added, it takes a while for the per^ son with a disability to regain the'atT tention of the dog. CCR is a non-profit organization, funded through charitable donations, that trains service, hearing and social dogs for people with disabilities other than blindness. Jensen named her dog "Eisenmenger" (or "Eisen" for short) after a person who had made a significant donation to the Oceanside center. Now the two travel just about everywhere together. Jensen expressed frustration with the frequent interruptions she has experienced since adopting Eisen six months ago. "Sometimes people will pet her and they don't even acknowledge I'm here," she said. "Then she gets distracted and I spend anotherfiveminutes getting her attention back. They don't realize she's working. This is her job." Initially, Jensen was hesitant to adopt. "I didn't want to take the dog away from someone who really needs one," she said, adding, "I'm incredibly independent." But that's just the type of people CCI is looking for, because of the dogs' significant care requirements, Jensen said. "Eisen is like a child. I have to make sure she has water. I have to make sure she has toilet time." In return, Eisen helps Jensen with a variety of daily tasks, such as pushing elevator buttons, picking up dropped items, flipping light switches andopeniiig; doors by pull-rop|es.

County's HIV/AIDS commu JLmmJrn nity, has b een getting h elp from some CSUSM sotiology graduate students. Beginning last fait, students in Don Barrett's Social Research Process class volunteered for a research project at the Oceanside food bank to get an idea of how a non-profit agency works. They are now in the process of analyzing data taken collected during that time to analyze how effective the bank Is to its clients. "Our grad students ih^ociblogy are learning to be applied sociologists/' said Barrett. "So they are learning to work within the community and conduct research." For the first half of the fall semester, he added, the students volunteered to work at Life Source to become familiar with how the food bank operated. During their work, they interviewed a number of the clients to get a sense of how the agency was perceived. Then, they developed a questionnaire to evaluate how satisfied the clients were with the service. "We collected that data during the winter and we're analyzing it now," said Barrett. "We'll present the information to Life Source in the spring." "For the most part, the clients were receptive in helping the students complete the surveys," said Steven Copelin, director of the bank. "If there was any hesitation in not doing the survey, it was because of the length." In addition, the students learned that Life Source was an important social setting for North County residents with HIV/AIDS, Barretfsaid. "It's not only a food source, but a place where people can go and talk to other people," he added. "It also serves as a meeting ground in getting information to new treatments, doctors and how to handle the case management system." Copeland agreed. "It is a very social atmosphere," he said. "The clients don't mind talking to other people." For many in the class, it was*the first time they had been involved with an HJV/AIDS organization. "If you haven't been around AIDS, the first time you Don Barrett's Social Research Process class provides a go i nto an AIDS agency and shake solid base of understanding for future sociologists hands with somebody, there is a little concern," Barrett said.

C.S. and U.C. systems bank on new energy agreement BY R ICHARD T he P ride M AUSER T • 1 h e Cal State and UC systems, taking advantage of opportuni ties in the new deregulated electricity market, recently signed a new energy agreement that will save the two state institutions more than $15 million. The four-year agreement with Enron Energy Services of Houston, Texas, guarantees the two university systems a 5 percent discount on their annual electricity costs. This will result in estimated savings of $1.5 million a year for CSU. Under the agreement, Enron will provide electricity to all 2 2 CSU campuses arid all nine UC campuses. It is the largest direct-access electrical energy contract in the country. "It's a good deal," said Tom Blair, director of Facility Services at CSUSM. But he added that he will have to wait for more information on the campus' energy usage before he can say exactly how much CSUSM will save, CSUSM now spends nearly $ 700,000 per year on its energy costs, according to Blair. CSUSM will not have to make any major changes to facilitate the new energy provider, Blair said, adding that the only change will be in the university's main metering system. Enron will install its Interactive Metering Solution, the only nation-wide wireless metering system, on all 31 campuses. It allows constant monitoring of energy consumption, thus providing school officials with a way to control any sudden increases in energy usage. Enron also will work with CSUSM to realize even greater savings by reducing t he c onsumption of e lectricity through an extensive package of energy services. In this package, Enron will provide the university with strategic savings plans and will conduct annual workshops dedicated to energy services. Additional services such as account preparation, commodity and customer services and billing will also be included. The collaboration between the two university systems is part of an effort by CSU to increase productivity so it can channel more resources away from administrative costs and toward educational services for students. "By working together, UC and CSU have been able to leverage our size to obtain the maximum pricing advantage," said Richard West, CSU senior vice chancellor for Business and Finance. "These are the kind of collaborations we will continue to seek in the future as we address the challenge of access to quality higher education in a time of expanding enrollment and limited resources." The UC and CSU systems previously have used their combined buying power to purchase such things as furniture and scientific equipment.

Have you ever sat in class, not understanding a word the professor is saying? If so, you have something in common with Yasuko Fujita, an i nternational s tudent at CSUSM. Fujita thought she knew everything about life in America. She had an American friend, watched American television programs and movies and read books about the USA. What s he f ound o ut, t hough, w as that life in America was noth? iftg like the monies. Fujita came from Chiba, Japan, a city close t o Tokyo, 2" years ago t o study at CSUSM. Rather than follow the path of m ost international s tudents w ho begin their s tudies at a community college, she chose to jump right into the rigorous studies of CSUSM's Literature and Writing program. At 2 6 years old, she said she felt "too old" to study at a Japanese university. There, a ma- jority of students are no older than 21. Here, Fujita was pleasantly surprised to find that she was often among the youngest i n her classes. l i f e as a CSUSM student was n ot e asy. There w ere b athrooms with "peep-holes" and professors who spoke in a language she couldn't understand. She didn't know the first thing about writing papers. But she knew where to look for help. She s pent many hours in CSUSM's Writing Center. She w as there s o much that her -friends began t o wonder if she w ere l iving t here. She a lso spent many hours in the computer lab. But she found more than just academic assistance in both. She m et m any p eople and formed many friendships. "I made lots of opportunities to u se t he English language,%o s he says. Si went t o church, school and the library, instead of going to Japanese communities." But that, she said, was critical t o learning English and American culture. With persistence and the help of her professors and friends, Fujita began understanding "What the professors were saying. She became able to write papers on her own. She also learned where the best places t o eat were. Two years after beginning her career at CSUSM, she graduated with honors and earned a degree in Literature and Writing Studies. After graduating, she decided that she wanted to teach Japanese to American students. To prepare for the application process for graduate school, she completed a research project studying the language acquisition process of Japanese students learning English. She also began studying a third language ... Spanish. Her hard work paid off and she was accepted to the graduate program starting this fall at the University of Washington. When asked what advice she would give to other international students, s he replied, "Keep working, study hard, and your goal WILL b e a ccomplished." 1 ATTENTION CONTINUING STUDENTS IN M NM M COMMUNITY LIVING ADVISOR forUi^ H ui g o sn • Fall'98 • Minimum qualifications: m PPHS, suite 102) or the Caner and Assesment Center C SU t rustee Ralph Pesqueira to v isit C SUSM as t rustee in residence BY SCOTT BASS CSU Trustee Ralph Pesqueira will visit CSUSM on March 19 as part of t he u niversity's Trustee in Residence program. Carol J. Bonomo, an assistant to CSUSM President Gonzales and Director of Legislative & Civic Affairs, started the program this year as a means of getting the university more recognition at the state level. "My hope for students is that Pesqueira will carry the word for Cal State San Marcos and say why we need more buildings, why we need a library," said Bonomo. "To me a Trustee is the same as a legislator be- cause he is the one who is going t o carry my case t o the state." Bonomo is striving to get one trustee on campus eveiy spring and one legislator on campus every fall. Assemblyman Bill Morrow of Oceanside appeared last fall. Pesquira is the second trustee. "The neat thing is, sure we can talk about it (our campus), but he is going to get to see it, see it up-close," said Bonomo.

"If the kids have things going on at home, which is the case quite a bit of the time, they're not going to be focused on their academics because there's more emotional needs on their minds," he adds. "That's when I really just love getting to hang out with the kids and talk with them and work through some of their problems. As a teacher, I would get to do that, but you're most focused on the academic." Morales hopes his tutoring center will have a long-term impact on students. "Growing up, I saw how it was easy to get involved in a gang or easy to not care about academics, easy to continue the cycle of going through the motions," he says. "Like finishing high school but then just going straight into the work force in a job that really wasn't going to challenge you, and you weren't going to make a whole lot of money. "I want them to be challenged and enjoy what they're doing and maybe go on to college and get an education and do something where they really feel great about themselves." His center has become more than just a homework haven. "Most of the kids that are here are Hispanic kids," he says. "The majority of kids referred from CSUSM are Anglo kids. It's great because we don't just want to be a tutoring place. We want to be a place where some of the racial and cultural barriers are broken down. "They have t o learn t o work with someone who is not part of their same culture and break down some stereotypes from both ends." The center has four rooms: a study room with tables and bookshelves, a computer room with three computers and a p rinter, a m ain room w ith couches and more tables and a garage that serves as Morales' bedroom. It's open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and three tutors come each day. One is a former high school student whom Morales tutored. The center is completely funded by E mmanuel Faith, a church i n Escondido where Morales is also an intern. Before he began the center, Morales researched two similar sites in Los Angeles. "I'm not doing this from scratch," he says. "If someone's already doing it, why try to reinvent the wheel?" Morales says he's seen many positive things already. "A couple of girls who come were expelled from school for doing something they shouldn't have, but now they're f ired up about s chool. They're in independent study and they bring their work and they work really hard all night long. "We work with them setting goals each night. We ask them what their goals are for the day. We ask if they're realistic goals. If they are, then we encourage them t o work hard to meet those goals. "One girl's GPA jumped nearly a full p pin^frbma i .8 to a 2.6." A math teacher from San Pasqual also helps out. Recently, one of his students who hadn't performed strongly in quizzes scored 19 out of 20. One of Morales' students says he comes because he needed to raise his grades: "They help me with my work," he adds. "Hector gets good tutors to c ome in. I come by myself, but my f riends c ome, too, and we work'on things together because we have classes together. Just a another busy night in Hector Morales' Escondido home "We don't have computers at home, but we work on them when we come here. It's close enough to walk." Sometimes the center is so crowded that students have to sit on the porch steps because there isn't enough room inside. But that isn't a huge handicap, students' say.. As one girl puts it, "The tutors pay more attention to us here than at school." Only four months after opening the center, Morales says he is considering a move. "We started this knowing that it would grow but we didn't know how rapidly," h e adds. "Right now we're discussing the possibility of moving to a bigger facility to accommodate other kids." The center's program may eventually reach beyond tutoring. "My dream is also to incorporate a sports program and t o do gang prevention programs possibly," Morales says. "One of the things on my heart really is kids who get involved in gangs. Many of them are totally bright, but they feel like they want to belong to a group. Those are the kids I really want to reach out to." Morales wants the center to be around for a long while. "This is something I'm in for the long haul, not just the next five years, ten years," he adds. "If I could, I would love to do something in this capacity for the rest of my life until I can't do it anymore. If I get too old to work with young people, I'd love to train adults in how to work with young people. "I definitely want to do something for the Latino community, which I feel is very needed. My reward is the kids." Memoirs of CSUSM 'Superwomen' B Y J OHN I F RESCA t's a student. It's a mother. It's a wife. No, it's Super woman. In celebration of Women's Herstory Month, female CSUSM students read personal memoirs to com memorate the essence of womanhood. Their voices expressed the extraordinary experiences of ordinary women. The genre of memoir, as host Susan Fellows explained, "is a window in one's life." The women who shared their memoirs in March, she added, illustrated the ability of women's writings to transform seemingly unimportant details into powerfully and emotional-charged sentiments. The women who recited their memoirs allowed the audience t o truly feel the e motions behind their memories, she added. Some of the highlights included: The innocent childhood memory of being a fanatically religious Cubs fan in the 1960s in Chicago, where A TRIBUTE TO W OMEN'S H ERSTORY on Sundays praise was rejoiced with "a Hallelujah, an Amen and a Play Ball." The emotional story of another woman's "brown bomb," her jalopy of a car, that symbolized her freedom and her courageous triumph over an abusive husband. The humorous account of a mother's respect for her daughter's s tubbornness in not giving up o n a "lunchable" in the supermarket that the mother decreed was not to be bought. The narrative of a psychologist's wife who balanced the many roles she had to fulfill: wife, mother, worker and student. The laughable explanation of a woman who explained her love of "beer-drinking dachshund dogs" and "big-nose men." The nostalgic piece about a 13-year-old-girl who remembered moving away from "the purple lady, the baseball boys" and the neighborhood she called home. M ONTH The memory of friendship, of unconditional support, of a pregnant teenaged girl w ho recognized that her b est friend would be there when she gave birth. The touching remembrance of a young girl's first date. The satirical recollection of a youthful girl who encountered Catholicism, Protestantism and a rector in England in July 1966. The adventurous excerpt of a young lady who in 1960, with her family, moved from Southern California to Nigeria, landing in the midst of a civil war. And finally, the reminiscence of woman's grandmother who was just as beautiful a person on the outside as s he was on the inside. Although these memoirs, as Fellows said, were only a "small view" in the memories, they were powerful portrayals showing that Women's Herstory Month really is a celebration of all women. �-Faculty stresses that the university also is sensitive to reverse discrimination, and adds, "Ultimately, the best candidate is chosen, regardless of their race or gender." What attracts educators to CSUSM? Many factors, Cordero says, depending on the individual. Location, size and the school's growing academic reputation are some of the main reasons h e has been given by candidates for choosing San Marcos, he adds. Bud Morris, t he Communications Department's program director w ho was hired last fall, cites the composition of the student body as a reason why many want to teach here. "The large number of re-entry students who are serious about their studies make this a desirable place to teach," he adds. The Communications Department hopes to hire two new professors for next fall. High salaries, however, are not one of the university's selling points. A large gap exists between the salaries in the CSU system and other comparable institutions, according to Karas. Despite the lower pay scale, CSUSM typically will receive dozens of applications for any given position, says Karas. A search t eam c omposed of faculty members will screen letters from applicants to narrow the list for any vacancy to^approximately 15-20, '' rhbrie' ihferi^f&vvS me3kfharrow tiie field to a maximum of six applicants, who are invited t o campus. Some candidates are even invited to teach a class to gain a sense of how students will respond to them. Student reaction to potential professors plays an important role. "You get to see how a prospective faculty member engages a student," Cordero says. from page 1 "A candidate may look really good on paper, but really bomb in the classroom. All this is looked at." Stacy King, a junior communications major who watched an applicant teach a sociology class, said, Si think it's good w e get the chance to see to these people teach, as long as it's relevant to the class." Students are then given evaluation forms to rate the applicant's performance. Final hiring decisions are made by the deans of the respective colleges and the faculty, with Karas and Cordero giving feedback throughout the process. Cordero expects 12 new faculty members to be hired for the fall 1998 semester, compared to eight new positions last fall. Another six professors were hired last fall to replace departing faculty. Continuing growth of CSUSM could mean the addition of 15-17 new faculty members each year for the foreseeable future. But funding could b e a stumbling block. "Currently the university has one of the lowest student-faculty ratios in t he Cal S tate s ystem," s ays Karas. "Which is great, but it is also hard to afford. "With 535 new students expected next year,,jsome think .we should hire a certain number of faculty an& I am saying, v No, we shouldn't.'" Karas said the university needs that money for other things, like the library collection, computer labs, technicians and clerical support for faculty. The q uestion of h ow many n ew faculty should be hired is an issue that the faculty and administration continue to struggle with, he adds c o n i n u m t y service f o r t h e Ge/e/yratiofipfSewice; Nomination Forms Available from Office of Community Service Learning at California State University, San Marcos 333 Twin Oaks W e y Road Craven Hall 5316A San Marcos, CA 92096-0001 (760) 7504055 Nomination Deadline March 23,1998 Cb-sponsoredby Unplanned P regnancy?

Kissing a Fool a n e motional g auntfet BY S L ODIA O RAMAS inding love is an odyssey that captivates even the strong at heart. Moving from one rela tionship to another throughout our lives makes up the essence of who we are. The movie, "Kissing a Fool," tests the notion of how far friendship really goes. Part of the quest to find the perfect life partner, it postulates, is realizing who you are. Told through a narrator, it pits two best friends, David Schwimmer (as Max a TV sportscaster) and Jason Lee (as Jay, an author) in a test of sorts. Max falls for a successful, beautiful woman (Sam, played by Mili Avital) who also happens t o be Jay's editor. The two quickly move in together and get engaged. But Max begins to have doubts and decides that for him t o truly know whether Sam is his perfect mate, a test is in order. He asks Jay to find out if Sam really will remain faithful. The only problem is that Jay already has fallen in love with Sam. Finding love was no easy task to begin with for any of the three, but, in the end, they find that love truly does exist ... not only in relationships, but also in friendships. "Kissing a Fool" is enjoyable on different l evels. It p uts t he a udience through an emotional gauntlet that includes comedy, friendship, love and heartbreak. Though it deals with issues that everyone can relate to, the movie crosses a line that most people just wouldn't want to. In the end, though, its heartwarming twist is a pleasant and welcome relief. As Jay says to Max, "What if I missed out on the girl who is?* "Kissing a Fool" is a thought-provoking tale that shouldn't be missed out on. spa re may be 1 ^ ^ ^ p & e ^ e W ^ e i ^ ^ has worth the k # ; scen^in^ I tie I napping, J s Is '.£>ARA P ERALES on bowling had s o I make the movie c enter around afcddefiial M ^Jyltoat With a supposed kid\ H !

Dear EditorIn your last issue you published an article re: the proposed track and field facility in which President Joe Faltaous is quoted as saying that "students need to realize that they belong to this campus and that this campus belongs to them." After reading another article a few pages later I asked myself "do they really?" I am referring to the entry announcing the Eleventh Annual Cal-State San Marcos Ball - to be held "at the elegant Four Season Resort at Aviara on Saturday April 2nd." t ickets are slated at $150 each. Or $ 300 per couple!! The proceeds will be used purportedly for "the university's highest priority needs, including: student scholarships, the purchase of instructional equipment and faculty recruitment." I asked several of my friends on campus if they had heard anything about this function prior to having read the announcement in the newspaper and all said t hey had not. While many expressed an interest in attending-all thought the price of admission too expensive. What happened to furthering the s pirit of c ommunity and harmony within the campus body itself?

With the price of admission set at an exclusionary $ 300 per couple, this apparently is not high on the list of Ms. Shelley Lindstom's ('a Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist') organizing committee. Quite the contrary, the entire affair seems to be a celebration not of diversity but an elitist showcase of pomp and circumstance - one in which only the very affluent can afford to participate. In reality- it is the student-body that makes Cal-State University San Marcos work! That thought may come as a shock to the likes of Ms. Lindstrom. Without us, none of the faculty and infrastructure and million dollar exercise facilities would matter at all. And so I ask you- where is our gala? Where is our party? Where is our celebration? They are nowhere to be found-and that needs to change. Now! Clearly, the students of this university deserve to attend this event more than anyone else! I implore the organizing Committee to RECOGNIZE THIS AT ONCE! ( A b oycott could be VERY EMBARASSING!) By making tickets available to students AT A REDUCED COST - they could work to right this glaringly obvious wrong. Just as other activities offer student rates (movies, athletic games, etc.) - so too could this one at between $25 or $75. $ 300 per couple is exceptionally confiscatory considering the average student earns well under seven dollars per hour after taxes. While it is easy to pay lip-service to the prospect of including all students "in the community" while celebrating "diversity"- not every student here at this school drives an MBZ to and from the family compound in Rancho Santa Fe.- Ms. Iindstom. Most of us live in the real world. And in that real world are real responsibilities. At $ 300 per couple— this event is elitist, it is exclusionary and it is a slap in the face of'diversity.' We might as well change the name of bur beloved Tukwut back to Cougar! (Ms. Lindstrom would probably like that more anyway.) There are many hard-working students at this university who would love to attend this 'gala event' if the costs were affordable. $ 300 per couple may seem reasonable to 'a noted Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist' -but to the average student- that's just too darn much money. And it is high time that the leadership on this campus stopped paying lip-service to slogans like 'diversity' and 'together* n€ss* and started addressing the very real and glaring inconsistencies in instances like this one.

Lit-writing students are the last remaining vestige of what it really means to be a true intellectual...which is to read." • I am a retired teacher who takes literature classes at CSUSM for my own enjoyment, not for credit. I read a book a week for my current class and a book a month for my book club, which is affiliated with AAUW. I also read two newspapers a day. My husband reads the newspapers, non-fiction books, and can hardly wait for "Harpers" and "The Atlantic Monthly" to arrive in the mail. Our married daughter, the mother of a three-year old son, is a voracious reader who finds time to read one or two books/week, two daily newspapers, and numerous magazines. Almost all of our friends are readers, and the women in my book group, all of whom I would call intellectuals and lead very busy lives, find time to read on a daily basis. I think it's time for Dr. Curry to come down from her ivory tower and meet the commoners in the real world.

By EMILY KELLEY Pride Staff Writer At 12:00 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, in a room with a seat­ ing capacity of 50, between 15 and 20 Cal State San Marcos’ students gathered to watch Dr. Jean Kilboume’sground-break­ ing documentary on the exploi­ tation of women’s images in advertising, “Killing Us Softly 3.” The film, presented by the *Progressive Activist Network (PAN), in association with the Women’s Studies Department, was what PAN President Erik Roper deemed “the first in what’s hopefully a monthly event in our ‘socially relevant’ film series.” “A good turnout would be 20 people. There is a lot of apathy here, but (PAN) is trying to change that,” said PAN vice president and ASI candidate James Nguyen. Susan Cratty, of the Wom­ en’s Studies Club, stood outside before the presentation of the film, trying to entice passing students to corhe in and watch by offering them refreshments. While some seemed interested, none joined, and most walked by without a glance. Two male students responded to the invi­ tation by saying, “Can we just take the snacks and go?” Cratty said that the film, which exposes and analyzes certain trends in the represen­ tation of the female body in the media, is “important because it helps us become aware of how we are brainwashed by the media and [how the media] constructs gender.” “We need more support and awareness and political activ­ ism in the community,” Cratty added. » A rticle cont. on pg 2 Campus Identity Statement Finalized By JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor Students visiting the booths.

The Associate Vice Presi­ dent of Academic Affairs, David J. Barsky, announced to the Academic Planning and Policy (APP) committee, which deals with the university curriculum and approves new courses and policy changes, that the current policy was not in compliance with the new Executive Order given by CSU Chancellor, Charles B. Reed. The APP has created a written proposal for policy changes, and addressed the Academic Senate at CSUSM on Tuesday, Feb. 5, requesting amendment and approval. The current policy states that, on or before the add/drop dead­ line (end of the sepofcd week of the semester), a student may use the SMART system to drop a course, or may submit a sched­ ule adjustment form to Enroll­ ment Services, with no record of the course appearing on stu­ dent records and with no signa­ ture required from the professor. If a student wishes to withdraw or drop a class after the given dead­ line, these are the procedures that must be followed. After the deadline, the student must pres­ ent a serious reason for dropping the course and the dean of the college must sign the schedule adjustment form. Inadequate aca­ demic preparation for the course is sufficient justification. After receiving approval to drop, the student receives a grade of ‘W’ .(“Withdrew.”) Next semester, students will have only 13 days (including weekend days) to drop a class. The policy was also amended to read, “Withdrawals after the add/drop date and prior to the last 20 percent of instruction may be assigned only for seri­ ous and compelling reasons. Per­ mission to withdraw during this time shall be granted only with the approval of the instructor and the department chair and/or dean as described by campus policy. All requests to withdraw under these circumstances and all approvals shall state the reasons for the withdrawal. The records of such approvals shall be main­ tained in accordance with the campus record retention policy.” The proposed changes to the withdrawal policy are in response to a new Executive Order, addressed to the CSU system. “The Executive Order allows » A rticle cont. on pg. 3 After many months of dis­ cussions, the committee in charge of reshaping the iden­ tity statement for Cal State San Marcos concluded its dis­ cussions and finalized a state­ ment designed to distinguish CSUSM from other CSU cam­ puses and universities in the San Diego region. On March 7, the commit­ tee voted unanimously in favor of the newly proposed state­ ment and will now send it to the president’s cabinet for final approval on March 25. The statement reads, “The higher education leader fos­ tering quality of life through lifelong personal growth and sustainable community devel­ opment in the northern San Diego region.” “It is not a huge change,” said Rick Moore, director of communications at CSUSM. “It is merely a different way of looking at what we are already doing.” The committee has been meeting regularly to try and bring all focuses and areas of the university together in one clear aiid concise statement of purpose. “The statement doesn’t rep­ resent a change in direction, but a more full understanding of what we’re trying to do for students and the surrounding areas,” said Bud Morris, one of the co-chairs on the commit­ tee and a chairperson for the College of Arts and Sciences. Morris also said the commit­ tee “paid very close attention to the university’s vision, mis­ sion » A rticle cont. on pg. 2 CSUSM Encourages Students to “Make The Break” By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer With Spring Break two weeks away, concern for students’ safety becomes an' issue for parents, police and health officials, as well the surrounding community. Many students feel the need to let loose during their seven days of freedom. Beginning Thurs­ day, March 21, 2002 and ending Thursday, March 28, 2002, the question becomes, can you “Make the Break?” ASI, Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS), Student Health Services, Student & Residential Life, the Substance Abuse Advisory Committee, University Police, Peer Educa­ tion & Support (PEAS), North Inland Community Prevention Program, and Responsible Hos­ pitality Coalition are sponsoring this year’s “Make the Break” week. The theme behind “Make the Break” is, “Make it different, make it fun, make it safe, and make it home!” As many of us know, Spring Break is noto­ rious for irresponsible drinking and sex. Or, so the stereotype goes. Even MTV promotes the idea that getting wild is the only thing to do during this vacation. Sponsors of “Make the Break” are trying to educate people on responsible drinking behav­ iors, safer sex, date-rape drugs, dub drugs, sexual assault, and underage drinking. All groups involved will also inform stu­ dents of safer ways to have fun that won’t do any harm to their bodies. CSUSM might be small, but there are still plenty of stu­ dents who are ready, willing, and able to party irresponsibly, so it is the goal of “Make the Break” to have a high attendance rate at all of the events. Thursday, March 21, 2002, Julie Bell-Elkins, a national pre­ senter on issues of alcohol and wellness, will speak on the Dome Terrace about health, wellness and alcohol. Bell-Elkins will be doing her presentation in a game show format, allowing stu­ dents to have fun cheering on their peers while learning valu­ able information. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, from 10 a.m, to 2 p.m., the University Police and CAPS will have run a mock Alco­ hol Screening & DUI Check­ point. Armed with a Breathalyzer and vision impairment glasses, the University Police will demon­ strate what it’s like to go through the test drunk. During the alco­ hol screening, counselors will be available to discuss concerns stu­ dents have about friends who might have drinking or drug-use issues, or with personal substance abuse problems. All participants will receive a MADD ribbon, which will serve as a ticket to a free BBQ on Thursday, March 28. Monday, March 25, an Alcohol/Club Drugs Open Dis­ cussion Forum is scheduled from 12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. in the Mez­ zanine. The forum is designed to promote awareness of club drugs and alcohdl issues that affect college students. A “Books &Booze” Alcohol Workshop in ACD 302 from 1 p.m. - 2 p.m. is scheduled as well. Tuesday, March 26, there will be a “Make the Break” Booth Contest from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Founder’s Plaza, where students can gather information ^on how to have a safe spring break, get “mocktail” recipes and learn how to party responsibly from a variety of clubs and organizations . There will also be a “Let’s Talk about Sex” Safer Sex Workshop from 10 a.m. -11 a.m. in ACD 303. On Wednesday, March 27, there will be a Safe Spring Break and Rec­ reational Fair from 10:30 a.m.2 p.m., » A rticle cont. on pg. �I t’s N o t a C am era Craven Road and Twin Oaks Valley Rd. Pride Photo/Claudia Ignacio By JAMES J. SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer There have been rumors that on Twin Oaks Valley Road at the light before Craven Drive, the main entrance to the riew Ralphs shopping center, there are traf­ fic cameras. The rumor is false. Deputy Maryn of the San Marcos Sheriffs Department stated that there are no traffic cameras in the city of San Marcos. This doesn’t mean that you can run red lights or speed up at the yellow ones, however. I was at the local Starbucks coffee shop, where I encoun­ tered an off-duty sheriff. I talked to her for a little bit while we waited for our $4 ice cold frappucinos. “Yellow lights are to warn drivers that the intersec­ tion must be cleared,’’she said. The minimum fine for run­ ning a yellow light is $271. Beware, though, there are plans to install traffic cameras in the North County area. I tried to reach the city of San Marcos Engineering Department, but no one responded (I called Monday, March 11 and Tuesday, March 12.) These sneaky devices do exist in San Diego and River­ side counties, although city ordi­ nances require a sign be posted to inform traffic of the surveil­ lance. The nearest traffic cam­ eras to CSUSM are on Pomerado and Poway Roads. Look for the warning, “Photo Enforced.” It turns out that the supposed cameras on Twin Oaks are only * new-style sensors to detect emer­ gency lights atop ambulance, fire, and sheriff vehicles. So for now, if you run a red light, you’re okay, unless a cop sees you. Committee Defines N ew Campus Identity programs offered to prospective »>Article cont. from pg. Xand values.” In addition to these focal points, the statement now con­ tains a geographic locator (the northern San Diego area), which was designed to help prospec­ tive students and other interested parties or financial donors who live outside the area understand where, exactly, San Marcos is located. “If they (people unfa­ miliar with the area) hear San Diego and hear north, it gives them a connection,” said Moore. The committee also took time to address issues concern­ ing community involvement and development. As CSUSM expands and becomes a larger part of the community, the administration doesn’t want to become a burden to the sur­ rounding areas, but rather hopes to make a positive contribution to communal growth. Morris men­ tioned holding potential forums to discuss transportation needs, parking issues and traffic Con­ gestion that would address con­ cerns of both the city of San Marcos and the university itself. The statement was created as a way for the staff and adminis­ tration to promote the institution, emphasizing the strengths of the students, the balance between the growth of the university and the surrounding areas, and the goals of the university. All of these issues now are linked together in a simple phrase that explains how CSUSM chooses, as an institu­ tion, to be described. Although “for most students it will be awhile before they notice any difference . .. this statement [encapsulates] what the university is intending to accom­ plish, bringing a conclusion to a lengthy discussion on the goals of the university,” said Moore.

It would not have been the same without her.” The screening of “Killing Us Softly” is part of CSUSM’s ongoing celebration of Women’s His­ tory, or Herstory, Month, and the second event CSUSM has staged in celebration. Roper said, “One of PAN’s missions or goals is to become a hub of student activism at CSUSM - another is to educate our fellow students and surrounding com­ munity about issues we feel are important and to encourage them to become active as well. The film series should help us realize both goals, and we’ll be showing a film in collaboration with a different group or club on campus each month.” W o m e n ’s R e s o u r c e F a ir A t t r a c t s M a n y S t u d e n t s In addition, the center also helps stu­ it’s important that not only dent interested in doing research.

Despite this, Wright sent a message to all CSUSM female students: “You just take time for yourself. Take the time to go to the gym and just relax ... Something that you can give back to yourself is very important.” �U .S .

Election Coverage Note: The candidates with no information did not respond to interview requests. Compiled by Melanie Addington and Vicky Segall Jocelyn Brown Running For: President Why did you decide to run for office? I have been an ASI board member for the last three years. Over that time I have- seen ASI grow and improve tremendously. The quality of ASI and the repre­ sentation that is going on now is the best it has ever been. It can still get better though, and we can still grow to represent and pro­ vide for more students. We have set a vision this year that incor­ porates expansion, better com­ munication, building community, developing more quality pro­ grams, providing more recreation opportunities and providing more services that meet the needs of our growing, diverse population. Photo not submitted Honee Folk Running For: President Why did you decide to run for office? I believe that each person holding an elected office is a rep­ resentative of a population of stu­ dents. These populations can be grouped based on cultural iden­ tity gender, sexuality, career/job held, ability, progressive or tra­ ditional thinking, and organiza­ tion affiliations, to provide a few examples. These characteristics allow an official to connect with constituents in an extremely inti­ mate manner, giving the officer a direct insight concerning the needs of each population. Unfortunately, the majority Photo not submitted Anna Hall Running For: President Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office because I see a great need on our campus for unity and a commu­ nity life. Our school is seriously lacking unity. After speaking with many of my friends on campus, I came to the conclu­ sion that nothing will ever change unless someone does something about it. So I decided to run for president to unite my fellow stu­ dents and create a real campus community life. What do you believe you can you bring to this position, or, what can you bring to this posi­ tion that your opponents may not be able to? I believe that I can bring a fresh new change to ASI.

STUDENT FEES: Our state is in a 17 billion-dollar deficit, which means that the governor could be making cuts to the CSU system. Currently, I am involved with lobbying efforts to ensure that our tuition (state-mandated fee) does not increase. Next year I plan to continue lobbying efforts set forth this semester. In terms of campus fees, my posi­ tion would be to‘bring any and all fee increase information to the students as soon as ASI is aware of it, gather the student opinion on the fee and then advo­ cate for that collective opinion to the administration. COMMUNICATION: I would like to improve the communica­ tion between ASI and the admin­ istration, the students and the administration, ASI and the stu­ dents, and the campus and the community. I plan on institution­ alizing a “State of the Campus Address” to happen each semes­ ter with the ASI president and the university president, in which they would both give updates as to the current and future projects and issues that affect the campus. I would also like to begin pub­ lishing an ASI monthly newslet­ ter. I want to see the ASI board being more proactive in its efforts to gather and respond to the stu­ dent voice. I would also like to build more ties to our sur­ rounding community - such as making sure that every store in the Campus Market Place has a CSUSM pendant in it. CAMPUS PRIDE: Bottom line we need more of it. I want to put together an ASI committee dedi­ cated to creating and implement­ ing ideas to build campus pride. I want to help build a commu­ nity so that people feel inclined to show support for our school. What will you do away with? I want to do away with the idea that Cal State students are apathetic. I want to find ways to reach out to all students so that everyone feels supported and served by ASI. I also want to do away with the common question - what is ASI and what do they do for me? Additional Comments: I would like to add that I am running with a great slate: OPER­ ATION STUDENT VOICEYOUR VOICE, OUR MISSION and that is exactly what we stand for! of ASI elected officials has far too often been the representatives of identical populations, with only a few variations. In order for the student body to return the campus involvement and partici­ pation in events that each repre­ sentative craves, that official must create an environment where stu­ dents feel supported, like their needs will be taken care of. When representatives have a vested interest in the outcome of a decision because that decision affects a population that the offi­ cial belongs to, and there are rep­ resentatives of a vast variety of populations on the ASI Board, only then can we have expecta­ tions of the student body, because adequate representation has been provided. I am a presidential candidate because I am a multi-cultural black/white/Native-American woman, first-generational college - student, low income, bi-lingual proponent, re-entry student, pro­ gressive-minded activist, and my populations wil^finally be repre­ sented. What do you believe you can bring to this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? My incredible ability to make connections with individuals sets me apart from other candidates. I am an honest and open human being. I give so much of myself in my first interaction with a person, that it sets precedence and lays the foundation needed to have a productive relation­ ship. This is one of the most valuable qualities I can have as ASI president because so much of my success will depend on the connections I maintain with my fellow students and how I repre­ sent you. What is your political affilia­ tion? No comment. What will you improve if you are elected? I am determined to improve the enrollment and retention of underrepresented students (in every form), and I have been committed to this cause for the last two years. I recognize that this is a process and it will not be solved during my one-year appointment as president; there­ fore I have started the wheels in motion now. I am dedicated to creating, implementing, and maintaining effective communi­ cation with students. As students, we have an enormous amount of power that we don’t tap into because information is not dis­ seminated to us. It is my respon­ sibility to share information with students and ensure that our voices are not only heard, but accounted for. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am the president of the Pan African Student Alliance, member of Progressive Activist Network, supporter of MEChA, member of the ASI Programming Committee, Campus Climate Committee, and ICC representa­ tive. What is your major and when will you graduate? I am a communication major, and I hope to receive my degree in Spring 2003. and actually serve them. I have extraordinary leadership abili­ ties and many connections in the community. I see that ASI has been run very poorly in the past and currently there is virtually no communication between ASI and the student body as a whole. As it stands now, ASI is only a tool for the sororities and fra­ ternities, and not the majority of the student population. My opponents are currently involved in ASI, and' ASI is not serving the student body. If my oppo­ nents wanted a change in ASI and wanted to truly serve the student body, why have they not done it? I know that I can change ASI and make it a valuable resource for all the students at Gal State San Marcos. I will unify our campus and create a strong sense of com­ munity. I will serve the student body as a whole, not just the sororities and the fraternities. What is your major and when will you graduate? I recently decided to major in biology and I hope to graduate within the next two years. What is your political affilia­ tion? I am very active in the Republicah Party. I am currently the chairwoman for the College Republicans on campus. I am an intern for Bill Simon, the GOP nominee for governor of Cali­ fornia. My involvement in the Republican Party has shown me how big of a voice students can have in society. My involvement in the party has aided in my lead­ ership abilities and it has given me a broader view on society^ clubs on campus; I am a member of the Young Americans for Free­ dom, and I am involved with APSS. What will you improve if elected? My first goal is to unify our campus by creating a campus community. We need to have better communication between ASI and the student body. We need to have more events on campus that are student-friendly. ASI needs to lobby for the stu­ dents with the administration. ASI is supposed to be the stu­ dents’ voice, which it has not been. I will demand that Parking Services actually do something about the parking nightmare on campus. I will demand that the administration allow different restaurants on campus, such as Taco Bell, Burger King, etc. Other schools in the CSU system have them, why shouldn’t we? I will listen to the students about what they want. I will demand that the posting policy be changed on campus. And I will communicate with the stu­ dent body. Students need to know what is going on, on our campus. For instance, the teachers’ union on campus is on the verge of striking and hardly anyone knows about it. ASI has done nothing to help out our professors. They have not done anything to let the students know what’s going on. The big­ gest problem with ASI is that they do nothing. They have a $1.3 mil­ lion budget; what are they spend­ ing it on? Certainly not creating unity or a fun, student-friendly campus life. We need someone to listen to us and it needs to be ASI. Additional Comments: If I am elected president, not only will I listen to the stu­ dent body, I will act on their demands. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am involved with several on-campus clubs. I am the chair­ woman for the College Republi­ cans; I am involved in Priority, which is one of the Christian �ever, it would be great to have the Mbalaka Monololo Running For: Executive Vice university consider other meth­ ods of one’s ID number; perhaps President only using the last four digits, or Why did you decide to run for assigning random numbers like other universities in San Diego office?

I want other students to know what we are here for and I have many ideas for things I want to do. Campus pride is something we don’t have on campus. And that is something that we need.

I am involved with various campus activities, [I am] a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsi­ lon fraternity, and an officer for the College Democrats club. What will you improve if you are elected? I will improve the students’ representation on campus, and provide students with more opportunities for enjoying campus life. walk on campus and see our logo on something other than the one public phone we have in the quad area. Bottom line is, I love this school and the students here and I want them to be represented by someone who genuinely wants to help the needs of the student community on this campus. And that person is me! What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? My main strength for this position is that with me, comes knowledge and experience. I have been involved in this campus since my first semester living in student housing at The Islands. At that time, I was the National Communication Coordinator for the Student Housing Association. This position is nationally rec­ ognized; I attended conferences with students from all over the nation to deal with their student housing associations, Since then I have been actively involved in the Inter-Club Committee (ICC). I was vice-chair for two years and presently I am the chair. I have been through a lot with that* committee, and as many other students can say as well, ICC has gone through a huge transforma­ tion, and I have seen it and had a hand in it all. I have also held the position of ASI College of Arts and Science rep, in which I com­ municated with the dean of Arts and Sciences and held an open forum as an opportunity for students to get to know Dean McWilliams. I have been an active participant in the ASI Programming Committee, which was responsible for successful events like the First Annual Mas­ querade Balh I am now the exec­ utive vice president for ASI and I love my job. Since I, just started a month ago, I have been able to get students on university committees as well as on ASI committees. In addition to my experience with ASI, I have also had the opportunity to go to the state capital and lobby for student rights. In my limited amount of time being in this position, I have been able to assess students’ needs and concerns, but have not been able to fully address them in my short time in office. However, if students elect me, it would give me the opportunity to make these beneficial changes that would help the students of Cal State San Marcos in the 2002-2003 academic year. What is your major and when do you graduate? I am a sociology major wfyo will be graduating next June. What is your political affilia­ tion? No answer. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am the chair of the InterClub Council, as well as an active committee member for ASI’s Programming Committee, and I am also the student repre­ sentative on the Student Housing Advisory Committee. What will you improve if you are elected? Something that I will defi­ nitely improve is letting the stu­ dents know that we are here for them. We are an organization made up of students for the stu­ dents. I want to have, info tables out; I want to have many open forums in which we can pass on the knowledge, such as stu­ dent fees issues, to the student. I want to establish a communi­ cations committee which would basically be to inform the stu­ dents of EVERYTHING going on in ASI. I want students to know that there are so many opportunities to get involved in this campus and it is easy to do it. What will you do away with? Being a member of ASI right now, I am not sure that there are things that we can just throw out. However, there is always room for improvement. We are a cor­ poration and many students do not realize that. We have laws that we must follow just like any other business. Additional comments: I have the perseverance, ded­ ication, time, effort and knowl­ edge to do this job. I have passion for this position and I know I can represent the students of Cal State San Marcos the way they would like to be represented. Second, I feel like one person can be the difference and I want to be one of the people that makes a difference on this campus. Third, I feel like CSUSM has so much untapped potential to be so much cooler than it currently is; I want to help CSUSM be a place that its students think of as cool, and a place they’re proud to claim as their own. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? "Life experience, commitment and passion. Being 26 years old, I’ve been around longer than many CSUSM students. This gives me a different perspective that allows me to fully appreci­ ate my time here at CSUSM and make the most of it. From a tech­ nical standpoint, my time in the Army has prepared me well for the duties of ASI Corporate Sec­ retary, a job that requires some­ one to be organized and efficient. As for my commitment level, I see that as twofold. I’m commit­ ted to doing my best at every task I take on, as is evidenced by my standing on the Dean’s List and my hustle on the lacrosse field. But I’m also committed to making Cal State San Marcos a place its students can be proud of. I think my work with the Progres­ sive Activists Network (PAN) supports this claim. Most impor­ tantly though, I bring my pas­ sion to this job. I’ll put my heart and soul into this job and do it to the best of my abilities. That’s a promise. What is your major and when do you graduate? Social science with a double minor in Spanish and German; I’ll be here a while. What is your political affilia­ tion? Green Party. What other campus activities are you involved in? PAN, ASI% External Affairs Committee, ASI Men’s Lacrosse Team, the Environmental Club. What will you improve if you are elected? Well, many things specifi­ cally, but to put it in broad terms, I’d like to improve campus pride and the level of communication 'between the ASI and the stu­ dents. What will you do away with? If nothing else, I’d like to do away with the majority of stu­ dents at CSUSM not understand­ ing what ASI does. Meaning, I’d use any and all means at my dis­ posal to make sure students were kept aware of important issues that their ASI are dealing with. Additional comments: A couple ASI board meet­ ings ago, one of the executive board members submitted a pro­ posal for a new board member position to be added to the board. The position proposed was for an Environmental Affairs Represen­ tative. The position was stalled by a tied vote. I’d like to think that if I had been on that board, it would’ve passed. i I - rr |i 1 !H11 III! communities as well as being the Undergraduate and Pro­ gramming representative.

I decided to run for office because I believe in democracy. Democracy involves FREEDOM and RESPONSIBILITY. I am very interested in progressive changes; therefore, as a dem­ ocratic citizen, I want to be involved in the process here at Cal State San Marcos. I want to leave San Marcos with good memories and also with a good reputation as an active member, because I came to this academic world to be transformed by it and to transform it in ways that will benefit everyone. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? I bring to this position my experiences as team leader in the U.S. Navy, captain of my high school soccer team, president of the Catholic Youth Organi­ zation, cross-cultural exposures, and time served as president of the College Democrat Club. My strengths lie in my expo­ sure to diverse cultural back­ grounds, positive attitude toward challenges, courage to engage and commitment to progressive causes, and the ability to listen A.S.I. Election Coverage objectively to diverse ideas. What is your political affilia­ tion? I am a Social Democrat/ Liberal. I believe in conserving what is good and liberating what is biased. However, I want to clarify that ASI is a non-parti­ san organization. I will work to serve the collective interests of all students. What will you try to improve i f you are elected?

I’ve worked with stu­ dent representatives from other CSU schools: I also went to CHESS (California Higher Edu­ cation Student Summit) and experienced lobbying at the state capital. I saw how much we can do, and campus-based, I saw that there was much to be done. I also started two clubs on campus, co­ founding the Progressive Activ­ ists Network and Asian Pacific Students. I also serve on the Stu­ dent Fee Advisory Committee. I was also in the first Emerging Leadership Program at CSUSM. I had lots of training with the dean of students to cul­ tivate my leadership, and realize what leadership was. Now I can put that into action. I want to interact with' students, talk to them. I don’t want to push my agenda, instead I want to go out and see what they want us to do. I’m not afraid to go into unchar­ tered territory, and not afraid to question the status quo or the social norm. What is your major and when will you graduate? Pm a political science major, and I’ll graduate in 2005. What is your political affilia­ tion? I’m non-partisan. I don’t vote because a certain group votes that way. I vote when I think something’s right and when I get non-biased info. I want to take all perspectives into consideration. What other campus activities are you involved in? 1% vice president of the Progressive Activists Network, and president of Asian Pacific Students; I’m on the External Affairs Committee, the Student Fee Advisory Committee, and I graduated from the Emerging Leaders Program in November. I also join the present VP of Exter­ nal Affairs in monthly meetings of the California State Student Association (CSSA), which rep­ resents all 23 CSU campuses, And I also work on the multi­ cultural caucus of CSSA. What will you improve if you are elected? Again, I want to bring the student government to students. I don’t want them to have to wait. I want to make ASI more of a presence, and let students know what they can do, given that the government represents the stu­ dent body. What will you do away with? I’d want to change the Dome food and give students more of a selection. The Dome should become more student-oriented, and I’d like to see more life there. Additional Comments: I want to make the students’ visions become a reality. With my experience and my leader­ ship, I can make this their reality and make things happen. ‘ Brett Gladys Running For: Vice President of External Affairs - especially for the students. I heard the position for VP of Finance was going to be opened, and I said, ‘Hey, I’m a finance major. Here’s my chance to get in and help.’ I believe the school has a lot of potential to grow and become great. This is because we are a young campus that can still be shaped by the choices we make today. Being in office would give me the exciting chance to par­ take in designing the school for today’s and tomorrow’s students. What do you believe you can bring to this position? A definite strength I possess is my ability to satisfy the position’s requirements and qualifications. I am always nearby, so having a hand in any and/or all activities would not pose a problem. I’m a finance major, so I am positive I am very qualified to handle the position’s duties. Also, I have an outgoing personality that will be helpful gathering student sup­ port, being a leader, and voicing what we would want to happen. What is your major and when will you graduate? I am a finance major in the Col­ lege of Business Administration, with a minor in political science and I will graduate in the spring of 2004. I believe my education will compliment the position and ASI very well. What is your political affilia­ tion? I voted Democratic in the last election. I believe a Democratic environment would be best for ASI in order to serve what the students would want. (“By the students, for the students...”) What other campus activities are you involved' in? I was recently on a search com­ mittee for ASI to help picSr a person to serve as our new assis­ tant executive director. This role furthered my knowledge of ASI operations. Also, I am currently involved with a social organiza­ tion on campus. What will you improve if you are elected? The campaign slate that I am run­ ning with has come up with three main topics that we would like to push for the school. We believe it would be best for the school to protect student fees, increase communication between the stu­ dents and ASI, and increase pride for [students] attending this col­ lege. What will you do away with? Things that can be done away with would most likely be exces­ sive spending, which can be used for other things. Why did you decide to run for office? My experience on the ASI Board as the college of Arts and Sci­ ences Representative this year has been so valuable to me per­ sonally, and the students I repre­ sent. I have had the opportunity to affect some change by peti­ tioning the dean of our college on behalf of several students. I am a part of a process that has a domino effect in that it not only offers aid to the student who is currently fighting a bureau­ Crystal Folk Running For: Vice President of cratic red tape battle, but it paves the way for future students who Finance might have similar problems. The opportunity to witness change as a direct result of my actions is unique to my involvement in ASI, and it offers me the chance to leave the university a better place than when I entered. What will you improve if you are elected? I will work with all of you to improve campus life by working with our budget to bring quality programming to our campus and strengthening our CSUSM pride. I will make it one of my mis­ sions to reach out to students to decrease the apathy in our com­ munity. What are your strengths for this position? I have at least one year experi­ ence in working with the current budget as a member of the AS! Board. I am being proactive in gaining more budgetary knowl­ edge so I have asked to work with the Executive Director and the current Vice President of Finance to develop next year’s budget. I am a current member of the Co-Sponsorship Funding Com­ mittee, the body responsible for providing funds to student clubs who put on campus events. This is the committee that I will serve as chairperson, as the Vice Pres­ ident of Finance next year. My experience and desire to serve the students is a quality unique to me. What is you major and when do you graduate? I am a human development major and I will graduate in the Spring of 2003. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am the treasurer of the Pan African Student Alliance, I serve on the ASI Board, member of the ASI programming commit­ tee, and planner of the Women’s Leadership conference. What is your political affilia­ tion? Democrat Tyrell Fiduccia Running For: Vice President of Finance Why did you decide to run for office? The main reason I’m running is to help make the school better �to me so I can help enforce these thoughts. Should conflicts arise, I can keep a positive, open mind and work through any situation.

Marc DeGuzman Running For: Undergraduate Representative Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office because I want to get involved in decision-making on campus. I was inspired through the first inaugural Emerging Leadership Program last semester. Through the weekly meetings and the dif­ ferent speakers, I saw the poten­ tial of CSUSM. Also, I feel that some students have trouble voic­ ing their ideas and opinions, so that is why I decided to run for Undergraduate Representative. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? I believe my experiences in previous leadership roles would be an asset to the students and ASI. I feel I can congruently communicate with people in gen­ eral. I believe I am open-minded and impartial. Also, I have a willingness to help others and do what it takes to get the job done. What is your major and when will you graduate? My major is business admin­ istration with an emphasis in high-tech management. What is your political affilia­ tion? Conservative Democrat. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am a proud brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. I am on the Instructional Related Activities Committee (IRA) this semester. Also, I am part of the newly formed Asian Pacific Student Society. What will you improve if you are elected? I would like to see ASI reaching out to students on a more personal level. I will help rally and petition for student fees to remain the same. Also, I will try to implement and build on programs that deal with campus life. I want to increase commu­ nication between the students, ASI, and the faculty. Office: College o f Business Administration Representatives Candidate: Deanna Garcia Angi L. Hardin Undergraduate Representative Why did you decide to run for office? The best way for this campus to grow to its fullest potential is to have passionate, well-rounded individuals who are able to voice the opinions of the student body, and aid in the process. I am that type of individual. What do you believe you can bring to this position that your “opponents” may not? (What are your strengths?) I will 'focus on the progress of this campus, and not treat the position of Undergraduate Rep­ resentative as a social occasion. If there is an expressed need in a certain area, I will do all I can to satisfy that need in the best inter­ est of others. I see a large portion o f this campus not receiving the full opportunity to feel a part of the “student body”. What is your political affilia­ tion? Republican What other campus activities are you involved in? I am the publicity coordinator for the Pan African Student Alliance (PASA); Assistant to the coordi­ nator of EOP/ASPIRE, Inter Var­ sity Christian Fellowship, Invitee of the Woman’s Leadership Con­ ference, assisting with the plans for the Black Student Graduation Office: Undergraduate Representa­ tives Candidate: Jacqueline Campbell Office: College of Business Administration Representatives Candidate: Matthew Coultas Ceremony. What will you try to “improve” on campus and/or ASI if you are elected? Student awareness is key. Too many students are unaware of the opportunities available to them in order to get involved and help develop the campus. Every stu­ dent should know what and who their student government is. What will you “do away” with? Lack of student access to admin­ istrators and campus resources/ activities, along with getting rid of the habit of creating new poli­ cies without properly informing students.

What other campus activities are you involved in? I am an active member and a committee chairperson in Sigma Iota Epsilon (Honorary Business Fraternity). What will you improve if you are elected? I believe that the ASI should have a positive effect on our lives at CSUSM. I feel that the CSUSM leadership is so focused on building for the future that they have forgotten about those of us here right now. Why don’t we have anyplace to stash our heavy books (lockers)? Why do we pay $62 to park, but not have enough spots to park in? These are just a couple of the things I intend to have an effect on for you, if elected. What will you do away with? The useless route of the Parking Services’ shuttle. How about running it so that we would actu­ ally make use of it? Additional comments: Please vote!

Scott O’Hare Running For: College of Busi­ ness Representative Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run because I want to remove the feeling that stu­ dents have no effect on their own education. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? I have an ability to get things done. I want to be elected to get some things done for you, not to be included in the ASI social circle. What is your major and when do you graduate? I am an HTM major and will graduate in 2003. What is your political affilia­ tion? I have worked in the business Nina Robinson Running For: College of Busi­ ness Representative Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office so that I could create change rather than complain about the cir­ cumstances on campus. I love meeting new people and being involved. I also wanted to learn more about ASI and represent­ ing the College of Business. I believe that being a well-rounded person, I can bring positive influ­ ence to ASI. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? Having held many leadership positions in my life, I believe I can bring solid experience and motivation to the position. I try to bring enthusiasm into every­ thing I touch and this position will be no different. I love work­ ing with people and am very approachable. 1 believe this is important when you are in a position that represents the needs of others. What is your major and when will you graduate? I am a business major focusing on High Tech Management. I also minor in communication. I plan on graduating Spring of 2004. What is your political affilia­ tion? I do not have a specific political affiliation; rather, I vote on issues that represent my value system and beliefs. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am currently the secretary for the Pan African Student Alli­ ance. I am very active in campus outreach through the program SASOP. I am a volunteer in campus visits as well as the AVID conference. What will you improve if you are elected? My goal as the ASI College of Business representative is to improve involvement on this campus. As the population increases on this campus, so will the need for more activities. I believe that for all students to want to get involved there must be activities that reflect their needs, interests and wants. One way to do this is to interview students and conduct surveys. I also want to communicate the concerns of business students to the right places and make them feel as though they are being supported. What will you do away with? I hope to do away with the lack of community on campus. So many new students come here from different places, feeling alone. I know because I was one of them. If there are more social events that encourage interac­ tion and involvement, students will feel more at home here. Additional comments: If elected, I promise to be pas­ sionate about representing your views as business students as well as an advocate for the voices of all students! Kristie McMullen Running For; College of Arts and Sciences Representative Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office because I felt that I could aid in making positive changes on this campus. I’m a person with creative and outgoing ideas. I want to repre­ sent my colleagues in the best way possible. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your Maria Schroeder Running For: College of Arts and Sciences Representative Why did you decide to run for office? As a student, I wanted to be more involved on our campus 111!HIB fg g g g g Shannon Tweed Running For: College of Arts and Sciences Representative Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office when I was told that I would be able to make a difference for the stu­ dents in the College of Arts and Sciences because I am interested in improving the “college expe­ rience” for other students. What do you believe you can you bring to this position, or, and make a difference. ASI is that perfect opportunity to make a difference on our campus. CSUSM needs to become a stron­ ger campus, and I would like to take a part in making that happen. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? Positive, creative, spirited, out­ going, involved, and determined are all strengths I will bring to this position if elected. What is your major and when will you graduate? I am a communication major with a Spanish minor, graduat­ ing in the fall of 2004. What other campus activities are you involved in? On campus I am an active member in the women’s frater­ nity, Alpha Chi Omega. What will you improve if you are elected? If elected I would want to improve the issue of there not being enough courses offered in majors that fall under the Col­ lege Arts and Sciences. Hope­ fully, by having many surveys for the student body, we can see what needs to be improved in the College of Arts and.Sciences. Also, the\slate I am running with, Operation Student Voice, focuses on student fees, commu­ nication, and campus pride. I think everyone at this university would like to see some changes on this campus concerning stu­ dent involvement. what can you bring to this posi­ tion that your opponents may not be able to? As a U.S. Marine veteran, I believe that I have the discipline to know what it takes to get a job done and I have the loyalty and commitment to follow through on issues that the stu­ dents address and bring to my attention. Besides the fact that I will be asking the students for their input, I also want students to know I am a great listener and want every student to be able to come to me and let me know what I can do for them. I am an EOP peer mentor on campus, which has provided me with knowledge and experience to assist students within my col­ lege. What is your major and when will you graduate? My major is human develop­ ment with emphasis in counsel­ ing. I hope to graduate either this fall or next spring, depending on which classes are available. What is your political affilia­ tion? I have no political affiliation. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am involved in the Veterans Association, the Human Devel­ opment Club, and* I am also a peer mentor for the EOP and ESPIRE programs. What will you improve if you are elected? I will improve student involve­ ment and student awareness of upcoming and new policies for the College of Arts and Sci­ ences. What will you do away with? At this point, I am still educat­ ing myself on the policies of the campus. I have not come upon anything that we need to “do away” with, but I believe there are many areas in which we can improve upon so that each stu­ dent has a positive experience on this campus. The polls will be open from Monday, March 25 at 8am to Friday, March 29 at noon. �C ampus B e a t MICHELLE CONSTANT Pride Staff Writer W hat do you think about the changes being made to the add/drop policy? “It wouldn’t affect me because when you’re trying to stay on track to grad­ uate it, would set you behind to drop a class past the date you can add one. But, on the other hand, if the student isn’t motivated to stay with the class, they should be allowed to drop it rather than just fail it.” -Jennifer Acee Junior, sociology major “Two weeks is not enough of a time period to know for sure whether or not the class is right for you. Being able to stay in the class all the way up until midterms helps your grades because you can make a better decision with that extra time ” “I think they should keep the [policy] “I think students of CSUSM pay too much for currently instated.

No. In the Feb. 19 issue of The Pride, faculty member Susan Fellows stated in a letter to the editor, Do the classroom doors lock from both sides? Last month, many of us experienced difficulty in adding classes at a school that is considered ‘under-capacity.’ The new “Withdrawal Policy” Apparently, inad­ is either a slap in the face to equate parking doesn’t drive the professors o f this univer­ away enough stu­ sity or a huge compliment. dents to free up seats for every­ “students are to be regarded per­ one.

The university didn’t exit a course, leaving us with a even see fit to announce this paltry 13 days to withdraw.

After that Moore’s chipper ‘Tn the Loop” time, withdrawals are granted for emails. There does not seem to “serious reasons only and require have been any involvement or input from students as this plan was being .considered. If the powers that be on this campus are truly serious in their quest to offer ‘customer service,’ they should re-examine the negative impact this decision will have on students. An essential element of a quality education is broadening the learning scope to include multiple fields of study. Not only does this produce wellrounded individuals, it allows people the opportunity for dis­ covering strengths in other disci­ plines. But if students are unable to drop a course within a reason­ able time frame, what confidence will they have to try something out of their major? There needs to be a safety net in place that will keep students from fearing new challenges. The new “Withdrawal Policy” is either a slap in the face to the professors of this univer­ sity or a huge compliment. In effect, the message this approach sends is that the classes being offered here aren’t strong enough to retain students on their own merit. Or maybe this shorter deadline endorses the educators. All the classes offered at GSUSM are perfect and there should never be a need beyond the stated “seri­ ous reasons only” to drop a class. The idea of either is ridiculous, but it only highlights how inflex­ ible this revised procedure is. It definitely puts students here at a disadvantage in comparison to other colleges. CSUSM is not alone in the push for shortened drop dead­ lines, but it is in the minority. What’s wrong with having an opportunity to drop a course you’re not doing well in? It’s not some kind of scam. When you drop a course late in the semester, you lose money and you lose the time spent in a class that won’t result in any credit. It ultimately just puts off units that you must complete later. Isn’t that enough of a deterrent to excessive, friv­ olous drops? CSUSM says no. The university feels the need to crack the administrative whip by finding more ways to manipulate student behavior. This new policy, along with CSUSM’s plus/minus grading system, mandatory 2,500 word writing requirement, and the addition of all the SDSU North County rejects ensures plenty of mediocre GPAs in years to come. If this new policy is designed to give more access to full classes by pulling people out earlier, so others can take their place, then why is the last day to ADD, also the last day to DROP? Obviously, a school that prints our social security num­ bers on student ID cards has little regard for privacy. But what busi­ ness is it of the dean’s what ‘seri­ ous reason’ a student may have for dropping a course? UCSD trusts its students to make adult decisions regarding why they opt out of a course and don’t make students’ personal business school business. Not CSUSM. If you want to drop a Tuesday morn­ ing Psych class because you’re distraught because your grandma passed away, don’t forget to fax the dean a death certificate so you don’t “Fail.” At the very least, more infor­ mation should be offered about the content and nature of courses so that students have a greater understanding of what the course entails before enrolling in it, �The Mundane: The Marvelous - What About the Morose and the Forgotten Melancholy? By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN Opinion Editor The Women’s Studies pro­ gram at CSUSM kicked off Women’s Herstory Month on March 5 with a heartwarming rendition of what it means to be a woman in our society. There were four speakers from a vari­ ety of academic backgrounds and majors, many of whom told sto­ ries of mothers, motherhood, and womanhood in general. The presenters discussed dayto-day encounters, the trials and tribulations of motherhood, and revealed tales of horrific expe­ riences during the Holocaust during World War II and refugee camps during the post-Vietnam era. But there was no mention of the current plague of violence against women. Cultural theorist and art his­ torian Andrea Liss of the Visual and Performing Arts Department coordinated the event in associ­ ation with the Women’s Studies program here at CSUSM. The event was designed to recognize the thinking, artwork, creativity, and genesis involved in creating herstory. Jennifer Nowotny, a Visual and Performing Arts major and a student in Liss’ class, “Feminist Art & Motherhood,” opened the event with a presentation about the constant juggling that comes along with motherhood.

It the memorial garden she had was truly a story of a woman’s power and triumph when her par­ ents finally found each other at the refugee camp. As inspiring as some of these stories are, we’re neglecting another very real and pressing problem that plagues far too many women, too much of the time. Mothering and motherhood are important parts of women’s lives, but many women in our society have fulfilling and suc­ cessful careers without ever having or raising children. Prepubescent girls cannot be mothers, and women beyond child-bear­ ing age, although they can adopt or enjoy their time as grandmoth­ ers, can no longer bear children. The same cannot be said for sexual violence. Infant girls can be molested and elderly women can be raped. And they are. According to the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ), a woman is battered every nine seconds in this coun­ try. It is estimated that “up to fifty percent of all homeless women and children in the United States are fleeing domestic vio­ lence.” In 1992, “abuse by hus­ bands and partners was ranked* by the U.S. Surgeon General as the leading cause of injury to women aged 15 - 44.” That’s almost the exact demographic of female students at this univer­ sity. Within my closest circle of family and friends, six out of seven of us have been raped or molested, and no, I didn’t meet all of these people in any kind of support group. The Bureau of Justice statistics show that there are 500,000 rapes and sexual assaults reported every year, but only one of the same seven people I know has reported her assault, even though another of them was impregnated by her attacker. The USDOJ report addresses the fact that “estimating rates of violence against women ... con­ tinues to be a difficult task ... [because of] the private nature of the event, perceived stigma associated with one’s victimiza­ tion, and the belief that no pur­ pose will be served in reporting it.” Shouldn’t we be spending a whole lot of time and money educating each other about this? Shouldn’t this be an integral part of Women’s Herstory Month? CSUSM does have a pro­ gram, run by the campus Department of Public Safety, called Rape Aggression Defense (RAD). According to the depart­ ment website, “The Rape Aggres­ sion Defense System is a program devoted to imparting realistic, self-defense tactics and tech­ niques. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive course for women that “begins with awareness, pre­ vention, risk reduction and avoid­ ance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense train­ ing.” However, upon entering the site, one of the first statements I read was “For Women Only.” What about men? Aside frpm the need for an awareness of the multitudes of men out there who have been molested as children, and even raped, there needs to be a more general education about rape, what causes it, where the sexual violence in our society comes from, and what we as people, notjust as men or women, can do to prevent it. The lack of discussion about the violence^ against women was not a reflection on the event or on the sponsoring program, but rather a reflection on the students. We are only allowing ourselves to become silent statistics if we, as women, as students, as human beings, don’t make this an issue. http://www.csusm.edu/ public__safety/radpage.html HAVE A N OPINION?

Gibson's movie has a lot of people talking and some controversy surrounding it. CSUSM Junior Erick Pettersen, a member of Priority Christian club said, "I appreciated that while Gibson was modest in his portrayal of the brutality Christ experienced, he also effectively used dramatization to accentuate both the reality and spirituality of Christ's life." The controversy, he said, "is the same old debate that has been going on for the past 2,000 years. The problem is that people are so used to ignoring the truth that when they are slapped upside the head with it they tend to point fingers. The question isn't 'Who Dunnit?' The question is 'Oh my God, what have I done?'" CSUSM Junior Sarah Koefod said, "It was different than what I expected but it was good. For the most part Gibson did have some outside sources but everything was pretty Biblical and accurate. It was like watching the Gospels in order.

Schwarzenegger's recently proposed increase in higher education student fees, UC and CSU students are expected to experience further increases in future years by as much as 10 percent annually. In Gov. Schwarzenegger's Jan. 9, 2004-05 Budget Summary, he stated that, "to ensure sufficient flexibility to address unforeseen fiscal needs, the administration proposes that the state policy provide sufficient flexibility to increase fees annually by as much as 10 percent." In lieu of a reduction of $311 million from a CSU general f und allocation of $2.4 billion, the governor assured California residents that, "to ensure public university students are protected in the future from dramatic fee increases as a consequence of declines in general f und resources, the Administration proposes to establish a longterm fee policy to ensure future fee increases are both moderate and predictable." See EDUCATION, page 2 Other News. Features... Sports. Opinions. A & E. MARCOS pages 2&3 page 5 page 6 pages 7&8 happened 2000 years ago to real life and making it authentic, relevant and more understandable." Koefod said, " I would recommend the movie to anyone. I cried and so did my youth group." Ideally it would take four years to graduate from a university; however, some students may have to wait six or seven years to get their degree if things go as planned for the governor's 2004/2005-budget proposal. The California Faculty Associations (CFA) of all the CSU schools are currently working together to put a stop to the budget cuts that could potentially cut more lecturers. Lecturers are those who teach on campus that are not of the tenure-line faculty. Lecturers support the tenure-line faculty by providing nearly half the teaching on CSU campuses, therefore releasing tenure-line faculty to pursue research and other scholarly obligations. Of these lecturers, which make up almost 50 percent of the teaching of CSU classes, 90 percent are on a part time basis, which means that neither service nor longevity can shield them from losing See LECTURERS, page 2 Skateboard makers sending manufacturing to China By ROGER NARANJO Pride StaffWriter Made in the USA or made in China? The skateboarding industry has arrived at a very serious crossroad, and might be forced to either clash or follow a new era in overseas skateboard manufacturing in order to keep up in such a competitive market. The announcement came when Chop Chop Wood Shop, of Dwindle Distribution, under the direction of Rodney Mullen, revealed their plans to send manufacturing overseas to China in mid 2002. Chop Chop Wood Shop is supposed to be a state of the art manufacturing plant that outperforms the average deck manufacturer in the United States, with respect to quality and consistency, as well as price.

SI "Specifically the administration proposes to link future increases in undergraduate student fees to the increase in per-capita personal income, which reflects the ability of families to pay additional fees," he said. Concerning disadvantaged students, he further said that, "The administration's long-term student fee policy will have minimal effect on low-income students. Qualifying lowincome students will continue to be eligible to receive federal Pell Grants and Cal Grants, and California's higher education segments will continue to provide financial aid to needy students." Despite efforts to identify a thematic rationale concerning Schwarzenegger's budget reduction proposals, the governor's office failed to respond to recent repeated inquiries for such purpose. Such dismissal of students' pursuits of knowledge from their legislators bears significant implications with respect to the governor's regard for state education and its students. The future welfare of the democratic state as a whole may be questionable when elected officials fail to heed responsibilities, such as accountability of information, to the citizens they govern. Nonetheless, the governor's Budget Summary revealed administrative priorities and rationalizations concerning its policies. their community college fees waived," he said. Regarding his new policy governing excess units, he proposed to eliminate subsidies for UC and CSU students taking an excess of 110 percent of the total units required to earn their degree. "This change will help "Given c urrent fiscal c onstraints, u niversity ensure students graduate in a timely manner, and minimize a ccess c annot b e the cost to the state," he said. g uaranteed f or a s Such dramatic shifts in fee m any s tudents a s i n policies may come as a general t he past." r -Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger esult of the relatively large percentage of the state general The governor proposes to fund that constitutes education, reduce enrollment of new meaning that it may absorb cuts UC and CSU freshmen by 10 more readily than less resilient percent, redirecting students to areas of funding. community colleges, to transfer For fiscal year 2004-05, to a UC or CSU upon completion higher education expenditures of requisite lower-division comprise $8.7 billion, or 11.4 units. "Students entering these percent of a $76 billion general new agreements would have fund. the increased use of teaching assistance. To students this means a reduction in the number and type of classes available, the possible elimination of entire programs, prolonged graduation and less one-on-one time with professors (including office hours). In addition, if Governor Schwarzenegger's cuts take effect, students would experience a reduction in student services such as counseling, reductions in libraries, and an increase in fees with a reduction of access tofinancialaid, and reduction or possible elimination of student success programs, such as EOP. One program at CSUSM being strongly affected by the budget cuts is the Women's Studies program. Only two tenure-track faculty, with the assistance of five lecturers, operate the entire Women's Studies degree. With one tenure-track faculty out on maternity leave, Linda Pershing associate professor, is left to do a lot of the administrative work, as well as serve as an advisor to both the Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) and a new Women's Studies Honor Society (Iota, Iota, Iota). "It is ironic that the program is offering so many events for the campus, yet we receive so little institutional support," said Pershing. This upcoming fall semester, if the budget goes through after the March election, the Women Studies major will be cut from fifteen courses to five. "Budget cuts hit our department especially hard," Pershing said. "Small and interdisciplinary programs suffer especially because we don't have a number of faculty to fall back on, and we have to rely on other departments to offer classes relating to our major."

However, given current fiscal constraints, university access cannot be guaranteed for as many students as in the past." LECTURERS from page 1 their jobs. Mayra Besosa, the CFA union lecturer representative at CSUSM, summed up a LaborManagement Council meeting that took place on Feb. 3, where it was said that the University Budget Committee must work with the University Planning Committee to ensure that vertical cuts occur outside the instructional budget. Besosa explained that this would allow, "instruction and program development to receive top priority." In contrary to what was stated at the meeting, the departments are planning to apply their cuts by reducing considerably or eliminating their lecturer faculty. To the professors that this will affect, this means a loss of a job. For the remaining faculty this means an increased workload, larger class sizes, and — H£lP-- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A ¿F H P"! 277 S.

These cuts are spread over all CSU campuses; but are equal to entirely closing the three largest campuses (SDSU, CSU Long Beach, and CSU Northridge), resulting in 20,000 qualified students being turned away in the upcoming academic year. 5,000 applicants were turned away during the 2003/04 school year. Lyon's statistics show that there will be a total of $239.7 million in reduced state funding for the CSU. This causes a large increase in student fees by about 10 percent for undergraduates and 40 percent for graduate students. "All of us—students, faculty, staff and administrators—need to be responsible citizens, active members of the community, and join the campaign to save our university.

The marathon began with Genesis and ended with Revelation and the words, "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." Club members, students, staff and faculty signed up for reading slots and read from 7: 00 in the morning through 9:00 in the evening Monday through Thursday last week in front of Kellogg Library. Ruth Bran, a volunteer collegiate minister said the event was in memory of Kay Meredith, who past away last April. Meredith worked in the College of Education as a credential specialist. She headed to China with her husband for the third time but Photo by Nicole Sullivan/77ze Pride Ruby Udeh (left) and Ashle Baker, both juniors, read out of Acts on Thursday. became ill with a rare disease and passed away six weeks later, "She was an inspiration and a light, she touched lives wherever she went," said Bran. On the right hand corner of the table sat a place card in Meredith's memory. This was the club's third annual marathon. Bran said, "The purpose is to create dialogue about the Bible and for people to ask why we believe what we do. This marathon was perfect timing for the movie "The Passion.' People have come up and asked us what we think about the movie and even about Ash Wednesday and we have been able to talk to them about that." "The Bible is a best seller and the most influential historical book out there," said club officer Kimberly Lazenby. "And we want to extend that invitation to read the Bible to everyone." Throughout the event, the Bible was read in Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, Hebrew and Chinese. "Local bookstores and churches donated Bibles so the club could hand them out. We easily gave away fifty Bibles. People would just come up and ask for them," Bran said. This was the first marathon involving Priority Club President David Rollingson, who said, "We have seen nothing but positive, there has been no ridicule, just thankyou's and asking why we are doing it." Many people signed up from the College of Education. Track and Field coach Steve Scott, faculty advisor Dr. Karno Ng- Alston from Hong Kong, Virgian Hughes from the Rudy Sahagun (left) and Yoko Suzuki, of the CSUSM Priority Christian club, read their Bibles during the marathon. Sahagun read in Spanish and Suzuki in Japanese. Photo by Nicole Sallivftn/The Pride Admissions office and many others came and read in support of the event. The North County Times wrote an article about the event and the rainbow that showed up on campus after the rainstorm Monday morning. The rainbow came at the same time a student was reading the passage about Noah's Ark. Some readers said they just kept reading and the time went by so fast they did not even realize it. Rollingson said, "I read for three hours, but my focus was on the Gospels and the Bible and I pray that the voice of God is spread throughout this campus because of this event." Thursday night at 8:30 p.m., the event ended and a celebration began. Kathy Atuna, from Disabled Student Services came and danced a Messianic type worship dance while Kasandra Miller, the club's administrative president, worshiped with flags, and students sang praise and worship music. The club normally meets on Thursday nights in room 240 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and they extend the invitation to anyone who wants to check out the club. c » fs|v Silfi 1 11 ¡ B i l i l l l H Mmmmmrnrri'-' ¡mm • wL.I^V >..

These aren't your ordinary blow-up dolls. Abyss Creations have created "RealDoll," a life-like human version of any fantasy or desire; the dolls look so real, the illusion may even fool Houdini. Abyss Creations have been producing and selling RealDoll, lifelike sex dolls, since 1996. A year later, they received national attention on the Howard Stern show. Stern applauds the dolls as, "Best sex I ever had! I swear to God!" Television audience members may often spot one of the dolls in the backdrop of his show. From head to toe, customers are allowed to customize their doll, starting with the head type, body type, hair color, hairstyle, eye color and even getting as technical as make-up, fingernail color or having the doll's tongue pierced. Customers can build their ideal physical significant other. These dolls have a price tag far exceeding Barbie's, and at about six grand a pop, the pink corvette and inviting Skipper over for dinner, might be out of the question. Currently, there are nine bodies and fourteen faces for the female version of the doll. One male doll does exist, but he costs one thousand dollars more than the female model. Multiple varieties of the male doll are in expansion for later this year. "These are the Bentleys of the sex toy industry," Shelly Couture, media relations' manager of Abyss Creations said. "Each doll is fully articulated and solid, undoubtedly a piece of art." What makes RealDoll different from your average blow-up doll at F-Street is the quality. RealDolls are made of silicone rubber, for a texture that looks and feels similar to human skin. The actual silicon rubber is tasteless, odorless, and a special compilation made by Abyss Creations. In an effort to make the feminine version more realistic and authentic, RealDoll breasts are made of a special formulation of silicone that has a gelatinous consistency. Abyss Creations claim the special silicone gel gives the woman's breast a life-like look, feel, and bounce. Using cured silicone rubber, which is dry, the breast will never leak. Even the flexibility of the dolls has enough mobility to put a yoga instructor to shame. The joints are made of steel and rotate up to one hundred eighty degrees, so even at the most intangible position, the RealDoll remains firm yet flexible. Approximately one RealDoll is sold a day worldwide, and there isn't any particular type of customer. Customers range Photo by Eric Mercado/77z£? Pride RealDoll face glancing seductively before her head is placed on a body. All features of RealDolls are chosen from by the purchaser designing it. from people who appreciate art, to scientists and teachers. Some couples may choose the RealDoll as an alternative to indulge and enhance their sex lives. Abyss Creations is an independent retailer, with no affiliations, and customers must order directly from the company. Although one cannot buy these dolls at a local novelty shop, the dolls may be purchased online. The website, www.realdoll.com, provides detailed information of the RealDoll and offers information on other such novelties, such as Abyss' second biggest seller, the "Booby Ball," a.k.a. the stress ball. SKATEBOARDS from page 1 Photo by Rojer Naranjo/77*e Pride Ryan Muldowney, holds two decks at BBS Manufacturing, where he is an employee.

"You basically eliminate jobs, and the ones who benefit are the Chinese and the manufacturers." Overseas manufacturers claim the savings will be passed on to avid skaters and skate shops, however this is yet to be seen, since greed and profits tend to dictate actions in all aspects of business Ryan Muldowney, also an employee of BBS Manufacturing said, "We wouldn't be a manufacturer, we would be a broker to the Chinese." Currently, Chop Chop Wood Shop manufactures boards for Blind, Darkstar, Enjoi, Almost and World Industries. What is more deceptive is that these overseas decks will not have the "Made in China" imprint stamped on them. The two federal agencies regulating country of origin markings are the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and United States Customs (Customs). The FTC regulates all goods claiming U.S. origin, and Customs regulates all other country of origin markings. Without going into too much import export jargon, there are tests which need to be satisfied before you can proudly place the Made in the U.S.A. logo on any product The test states that goods "undergo a substantial transformation if, as a result of manufacturing and processing steps in this country (US), the imported goods lose their identity and are transformed into new goods having a new name, character; or use" so that no countryof-origin marking is required. In other words, if you receive rubber form Brazil and transform it into an American tire, the change done in the United States is substantial enough to no longer consider it foreign. This loophole allows Chinese decks to blend in with American made decks since American made decks did not need to label where they were manufactured, it was already known. This is not the case any longer. Skateboarding is an American pastime, a culture that other countries have "You basically eliminate jobs, and the ones who benefit are the Chinese and the manufacturers." adopted. All over the world in places like Brazil, London, France, Spain and even China, the demand for American manufactured decks is unequivocal. The business model still applies to this industry, and while the demand for certain brands drives sales, lowering the price of these brands will definitely increase sales volume until every skater in the park skates the same board. Shoppers are sure to find the complete deck with grip tape, trucks and wheels for a deal at $24.99. These changes in the industry could translate into skate shops becoming obsolete and ultimately being replaced with the Wal-Mart skateboard department. �Jock Talk with Josh Interview with golfer Stephanie Segura College sport scandals JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer By JOHN STUART Pride StaffWriter How long have you been playing golf, for fun, as well as competitively? I have been playing golf since I was about 10 years old (12 years now). I played in several junior golf events, but I mainly became serious about golf during high school. When I was in high school golf was not popular with girls at all. There wasn't even a girl's team at my high school. I played on a boy's team. That was an experience of its own. I always dreamed of playing on the collegiate level but I never thought I was good enough. But fortunately the title IX law with equality for female sports was issued the year I graduated, so that was the year that CSUSM decided to start a women's team. The head coach, here at CSUSM contacted me and wanted to meet me and have me come see the school. I was offered a great athletic golf scholarship and my collegiate career started. P hoto b y S arah Carlin/TZze Pride and where does CSUSM typically play or practice? As a team we practice all the time. We practice everyday. A lot of people do not understand that being on a golf team and playing collegiate sports is like working full time as well. Here at CSUSM we have one of the best practicing schedules anyone has ever heard of. Our golf coaches work hard to get us out on the golf course everyday to prepare us for our tournaments. We play four days a week. On Monday and Wednesdays we play 18 holes at 6:30 in the morning. Then we go to school in the afternoons. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we play from 1 p.m. till dark, and are expected to go to classes that morning. Every Friday we are in the gym at 7 a.m. for yoga, and then at the golf course again to practice our short game for two hours (putting and chipping).

The women's team consists of seven girls, where five girls travel for the tournaments. The men's team consists of approximately thirteen players. What do you enjoy about playing golf for CSUSM? CSUSM is a growing school, and I like the fact that the golf team is one way for people to get to know about the small university. We also get to play some of the best courses in southern California. Playing for CSUSM also means that we are chosen to represent the university at the intercollegiate athletic level. I am graduating this semester and I have been on the team for 5 years with one year of red shirting. I will be the first girl to ever enter as a freshman and graduate after playing every year on the team. I have had such a great experience with the girls on the team and all my golfing endeavors. I will never forget my amazing experience being on the women's golf team here at CSUSM. Photo courtesy ofCSUSM Women's GolfTeam Sex. Drugs. Alcohol. Scandal. These words have been all too common in topic of conversation anytime college football is brought up. Words that should not be associated with college football are now, sadly, a disgraceful part of the game. Famous head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi, is known for saying, "Winning isn't everything, it is the only thing." College football programs are taking Coach Lombardi's words to an unprecedented level. College football is a huge source of revenue for universities. Millions of dollars can be earned by universities if the school can build a competitive football program. Therefore, football programs feel the need to do whatever possible to acquire the greatest talents around the world, even if they break the rules to do so. When high school football players are being recruited by universities, the young athletes go on recruitment trips to the university. Recruitment trips are designed for prospective student athletes to get a feel for the campus and the football program. The high school athletes are paired up with current members of the football team who serve as hosts. The host is given $30 to provide entertainment for the young athlete. Typically, the two will catch a movie or just play video games throughout the night. However, movies and video games are becoming less effective recruiting tools for the most sought after athletes. In a recent issue of Sports Illustrated, current San Diego State University (SDSU) running back Lynell Hamilton told the story of his recruitment trip to the University of Oregon. Hamilton said that he was offered alcohol, marijuana, and sex at parties that he was taken to during his visit. Hamilton did not want to participate in such activities so he decided to attend SDSU. That incident shined a spotlight on the University of Oregon (OU) and their recruiting practices. The spotlight on OU can not compare to the spotlight currently on the University of Colorado (CU). Recent accusations have surfaced that many women have been raped by CU football players. Three women in specific have filed a lawsuit against CU, stating that football players and recruits raped them at a party they attended. This infor- mation was made public several months ago. No action was taken against head coach Gary Barnett or his program until two weeks ago when another story surfaced. In 1999, Katie Hnida became the first female football player in CU history when she was given the position of placekicker. Hnida stated that she was harassed on many occasions by her teammates. She stated that several players exposed themselves to her. Hnida described a time where a player even rubbed his penis against her. She also said that she was groped and endured vulgar language throughout the season. Hnida said that one night while at a teammate's house while watching television a teammate got on top of her and raped her. Hnida has been criticized for not going public with this news sooner. Hnida has reiterated that she was afraid of what might have happened to her since she was not well liked by the team. She believed that head coach Gary Barnett would have dismissed her from the team since she says he did not care for her. In recent weeks, Gary Barnett has made his opinion well known on the topic of women in men's sports. Two weeks ago at a press conference, Barnett stated, "It was obvious Katie was not very good. She was awful. Katie was not only a girl, she was terrible. OK? There's no other way to say it." Barnett was placed on paid leave for the offensive comments and he will likely lose his job. Football traditionalists question what a woman is doing playing in the sport of men. I know of a time, way back in 1947, when baseball traditionalists questioned what a black man, by the name of Jackie Robinson, was doing playing in the sport of white men. It is without a doubt that Hnida and Robinson were both trailblazers who felt like they were alone in the world. Time will only tell if Hnida has a similar effect that Robinson had. Hnida is now the plackicker on the University of New Mexico football team. Last season she became the first woman to score a point in the history of college football. Hnida says she does not want to press charges against CU or against the former teammate that raped her. She just hopes to prevent this from happening to others.

It's worth the 100 mile daily drive By KIMBERLY SCHLATTER Pride Staff Writer Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, my alarm blasts a disturbing noise. It is 6 a.m. in the morning and I am beginning to think about my day that lies ahead. Ifiguremy day might seem a little brighter if I go back to sleep for a while. After forty minutes of extra rest, I push my snooze button one last time. I get up and realize that I have to be on the road in twenty minutes to make it to my 8:30 am class on time. After my twenty-minute rush of getting ready for school; I am finally get into myfreezingcar. I can barely see out my frosty windows, however that is o.k.. I know my twenty to thirty minute wait on the Balboa/Garnet, on-ramp in Pacific Beach and my almost fiftymile drive to Cal State San Marcos will give my car plenty of time to warm up. As I wait in the morning commute traffic, I wonder what freeway would be quicker and less congestive with traffic. To be certain of my decision I tune into Jagger and Kristi on 94.1 to check the traffic report. Not to my surprise is 1-15 backed up with traffic. So this morning I will be taking 1-5 north to the 78 east. The 1-5 freeway is a longer route to school but from previous commutes to San Marcos, I know that my journey to school is usually a quicker and smoother route. As I reach Carlsbad, I notice that the 78 east is just ahead. I cross my 1 1 1 H P !

As I reach Vista, I see no signs of traffic. Oh no, coming up toward Melrose Avenue, cars appear to be slowing down. Knowing my luck this traffic will go on until Rancho Santa Fe Road, possibly making me late for my 8:30 a.m. class. I check the time on my watch; it is already 8:15 a.m. I hope I make it butfromthe looks of the traffic, I do not think I will be making it to class on time. The 78 is just so unpredictable. Suddenly, the traffic begins to pick up. Now I am almost to Twin Oaks Valley Road. I have nine minutes until myfirstclass starts. To my very own surprise, I think I am going to make it just in the nick of time. As I drive into the Cal State San Marcos, parking lot. I think to myself, how worth the long, costly, time consuming and chaotic the drive up to Cal State San Marcos is. After all, I am not the only person that travels almost one hundred miles round trip to get to school. I know a handful of students at Cal State San Marcos that drive the same, if not more of a distance that I drive twice a week. Many students at Cal State San Marcos drive the far distance four to five times a week. It just proves that sometimes people, including myself, have to go that extra mile to attend a university that offers the students, up to date resources and a great faculty that Cal State San Marcos gives us. l it e s Prick Ombudsman A good balance of both hard news and feature articles characteristic of any newspaper.

Another hot topic from the last issue came from the letter to the editor regarding President Haynes* salary and housing and car allowance. While the information in that letter might startle or upset some of yotii, please remember to think critically about what you read there. Remember that in education, title and position are rewarded» As such, the status of being a university president is not without its benefits. In other words, we should not be appalled by these numbers when we have not yet had an opportunity to quantify the work that President Haynes has barely begun. Haynes is only just a few weeks in to the role of our president I think we should take the angle of seeing if we get our money's worth before we say we are paying too much.

March 8 "Uterine Vinegar" with Pat Payne is a series of humorous performance vignettes that confront the medical industry's prejudices about mature women and their bodies. In the stories, a pair of sibling protagonists battle gynecologists, surgeons, selfhelp books, and feminist health centers, as they attempt to regain control of their reproductive organs. The sisters look at the continued pathology of natural female aging processes, and how these feminine ideals are played out in low income communities and communities of color. Although the subject matter is serious, the sisters' decidedly offbeat approach to their medical problems is delivered with a healthy dose of sarcasm and macabre imagination.

In this scene, Gibson clearly visualized for the audience how brutal and inhuman Jesus' death really was. Gibson makes the film even more authentic by having all the actors speak in the Aramaic, Hebrew or Latin. Whether you agree with the Gibson's story or not; it is undoubtedly a work of art that provokes an intense emotional feeling in anyone that views it. This movie is not anti-Semitic. I am not a theologian or an expert on Biblical Studies. At the end of film, I personally felt no negative feelings for those of the Jewish faith nor do I think the film was trying to convey that particular message. I woke up at least a dozen times last night. The constant waking up was not due to something I ate, or to go to the bathroom. The disturbance I was feeling was brought on by the film I had just seen earlier in the evening, Mel Gibson's new film, "The Passion of the Christ." The movie traces the last 12 hours of Jesus' life, starting at the beginning of his persecution and ending with his resurrection as it is portrayed in the New Testament. Unlike the previous films on this subject, the focus of Gibson's movie is Jesus' crucifixion, not his teachings. There are a few scenes in which the movie flashes back to Jesus' works; however, this is not the focus. Mel Gibson uses graphic images to guide the audience on this extremely emotional journey. There are several scenes in which Jesus is being beaten and abused. It would be an understatement to say this movie is "bloody." The photography combined with exceptional sound places the audience right there at the scene. At one point, I could feel myself twitching every time I heard the sound of a whip. I do not recommend this film to anyone under 17 without a parent or guardian present. The movie contains extremely violent and graphic images; it was hard for even me, a 27-year-old adult, to get them out of my head. After the movie concluded, I was shocked at the number of young teenagers that were walking out of the theatre. I give "The Passion of the Christ" 4stars. Gibson's passion for the movie shines through every scene. One specific part of the film, which I cannot get out of my head, Photos courtesy of Icon Distributins and New Market Films James Caviezel, a devout Catholic who refused to do a love scene in the movie "High Crimes" due to his religious beliefs, was touched from above by a lightning bolt during filming. CSUSM and The Center for the Arts host free play Photos courtesy of Larry Gus (Above and below) An all Native American cast acts out the violent history of the Cahuilla Indians. The history of the Cahuilla Indians and the extraordinary life of Tribal leader Katherine Siva Saubel on stage in Escondido. The CSUSM Arts and Lectures Series is presenting an original play written, directed and produced by Leigh Podgorski, entitled "We Are Still Here" at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido at 6:30 p.m., Thurs., Mar. 4. Admission is f ree and the event is open to the public. "We Are Still Here" is the story of Tribal Leader, Katherine Siva Saubel and the Cahuilla Indians of Southern California, told through original Cahuilla legends, narratives and scenes from Saubel's extraordinary life. Saubel is a respected tribal elder and scholar who has lectured internationally on the Cahuilla language and culture. She has served as executive director of the oldest Indian-owned and run museum and publishing house in North America and was recently inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. The Cahuilla Indians have been around more than 2,000 years. They inhabited the area from Borrego to Riverside, which is about 2,400 square miles. They are generally referred to as Mountain, Desert, and Pass Cahuillas. They are described as hunters. The men used bows and arrows, traps, throwing sticks and clubs as weapons. They hunted desert bighorn sheep, deer, antelope, rabbit, and other small mammals. The women gathered seeds, mesquite beans, pinion, acorns, cactus buds, chia, harvested the seeds of palm trees and many other plants. Not only did they gather food but they were also responsible for creating medicines and shelter. Their language of the Cahuillas is Uto-Aztecan or Shoshonean stock which is part of the same language family also shared by the Pauite. The Cahuilla located their camps near water and food. They also made baskets as well as pottery which they learned to make from their neighbors the Pueblos. There may have been as many as 10,000 Cahuillas before contact with the Europeans who in 1862 brought a small pox epidemic; after the epidemic only about 2,500 survived. Today there are about 290 registered Cahuillas as recorded by the tribal headquarters. Podgorski has written other plays, including "They Dance to the Sun," a trilogy that follows a Ute Indian family through a century of American history, and "Windstorm," a one-act play honoring Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, a champion for the rights of the dying.

XXIII N O. 5 M an arrested in connection with d isappearance of local teenage girl BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor The search for Chelsea King, a local high school girl that disappeared last week, will resume this week despite treatment of the case by local law enforcement as a homicide. King, a 17 year-old Poway resident, disappeared while on a run at Rancho Bernardo Park near Lake Hodges Thursday evening. Authorities have already identified a suspect in connection with King's disappearance. According to Bill Gore of the San Diego County Sheriffs Department, officers apprhended John Albert Gardner III Sunday afternoon outside of Hernandez Hide-A-Way, a restaurant in the small Lake Hodges community known as Del Dios. Gardner, a 30 year-old registered sex offender, now faces charges of first-degree murder and rape by force. At a press conference last evening, Sheriff Gore said, "evidence was discovered to link Gardner to Ms. King in such a manner as to warrant his arrest." Though the Sheriffs department would not elaborate, physical evidence linking Gardener to the crime has been found in the area where Chelsea King disappeared. Chelsea's mother, Kelly King, told reporters on Monday that investigators identified Gardner's elsea [858] 513-2800 5*5** 115 LBS PETITE BUILD - STRAWBERRY BLONDE HAIR LAST SEEM 2/25/10 IN RUNNING CLOTHES DNA on victim's underwear found near Lake Hodges.

Paul Levikow from the San Diego County District Attorney's office said, "There are murder cases that get tried without a body. There is one going on now." Parents Brent and Kelly King insist they will continue to search fortheir daughter, aided by friends and volunteers from around the community. Those involved in the search have relied heavily on social networking sites like Image courtesy ofthe King Family Facebook and Twitter to spread up to date information. Those interested in volunteering can go to Chelsea King Search Center located at 11858 Bernardo Plaza Court.

The Carlsbad-based company In Motion Inc. is organizing the event, which is due to start on the Mangrum Track on campus at 8am. Hugo Lecomte is director of Campus Recreation on campus, which is helping co-host the event. Lecomte said, "The running event is going to be one of the best ones because we have a very strong company helping us, a company with a lot of experience. It's a very easy event—if you don't feel like running you can walk it. It's a cheap price for this event, so it might be yourfirstopportunity as a student to participate to a running event."

It will come down to if the Academy wants to award Gabourey Sidibe, for her breakout role in "Precious," Carey Mulligan, for a well-rounded performance in the coming-of age story "An Education," or Sandra Bullock, for her years of work in Hollywood leading up to her performance in "The Blind Side." But the big winner is going to be "The Hurt Locker." This summer indie film passed more people by, but it is cleaning up at other award ceremonies. Not only will it win for its screenplay, editing, cinematography, and sound, but 1 guarantee it will win Best Picture and Director. I doubt the other likelyfilm,James Cameron's "Avatar," will top Kathryn Bigelow's story of the bomb squad in Iraq.

"The 5k, which is I think a 3.1 mile course, goes around the campus. It's mostly on campus and circles all around the campus and the start and finish will be on the track. It's an amazing event, 5k is a great distance; you can either walk, jog or run. "The other event is the Ilk. This one is more challenging. It will go to the top of the mountain that you see outside the university and there is a park called double peak. It's mostly on trails and it's a very big challenge because there is a lot of elevation gain so it's a big race for heart rate," said Lecomte. Both the races are due to start at 8 AM. However, the students running in the 11km race will be released in a series of waves and not all at once. The event also allows faculty, staff, and the outside community to take part. There is also reason for those who do not which to compete to come to the event. "Everybody can sign up to be a volunteer, also on the website, so if they don't want to register to race or to run or to walk, they can always volunteer for this event," said Lecomte.

Here at California State University of San Marcos, students who smoke take up a significant portion of the student population. In 2005, based on a new state law, from Title 8 California Code of Regulations section 5148, has affected how CSUSM views oncampus smoking. On the CSUSM campus, there are nine designated smoking areas for students, faculty, and staff to use. This law means that at CSUSM smokers can only smoke in designated areas. Students can experience many harmful affects from smoking or from exposure to second-hand smqke. Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM's health educator, said, "There are many risks associated with cigarette smoking. According to The Health Consequences of Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General, smoking causes approximately: 90% of all lung cancer deaths in men, 80% of all lung cancer deaths in women, and 90% of deaths from chronic obstructive lung disease. "The adverse health effects from cigarettes smoking accounts for an estimate of nearly one of every five deaths or 443,000 deaths in year in the US. Besides lung cancer and an increase in coronary heart disease," Nguyen said, "smoking can cause respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, and chronic airway obstruction." All of these health risks associated with smoking could affect any student here at CSUSM, whether lighting up or from exposure to second-hand smoke. Another factor as to why students light up deals students who socially smoke with peers. Nguyen also provided information about CSUSM and the students that are lighting up. She said, "According to the National College Health Association results from a survey that was administered to CSUSM students in the Spring of 2009, 64% of our student population does not smoke and has never smoked a cigarette. Of the 36% of students that have used cigarettes, only 15% of that group has smoked a cigarette within the last 30 days." This data shows that over half the student population is not lighting up. According to data only, the social aspect of smoking does not necessarily affect CSUSM students. With less than half of the student population smoking at CSUSM, it is important to understand how some of student body sees smoking on campus. Chris Rahn, CSUSM Student, said, "The designated smoke areas on campus aren't strategically placed. Every day I walk by smok- ers to and from my classes and car. As a student here at CSUSM I wish I did not have to be around smoking on such a regular basis." Another student, Tiffany Walker, had a different opinion. Walker said, "Smoking on campus doesn't bother me. As long as students are smoking outside, they can do as they please.

Taking a closer look at CSUSM's first radio station and the students inside the studio and on the airwaves, Thi Pride got the privilege of having a Q&A with the maker behind CSUSM College Radio. V=The Pride RV= Rosario Vizcaino, President of CSUSM College Radio. P: whose idèa was it to start a college radiò station? RV: "I started CSUSM College Radio in the fall of 2008 with the help of my classmate Ryan Mcelroy. It initially started as an idea for a class project, which unfortunately was dropped by our professor and a few classmates because it wouldn't meet the requirements for the assigned project at that time." i*It wasn't over for me just yet I knew there was no on my server and immediately CSUSM radio station and setup a media that we would be the first students to come up with it." P: How did the project evolve and get developed? RV: I recruited my classmate Ryan Mcelroy, who is one of the founders and the current treasurer of CSUSM College Radio. We immediately went forward with the process of forming a club, which was finalized at the end of November in 2008. With the minimal support we initially had, I had then decided that col1ege r adio w ould happen no matter what. P: How did you start a radio station from scratch? RV: "I acquired the domain name and created a web page for the radio station. I hosted it s treaming service. With the help of Ryan, I made a simple design that would be easy to use and yet it would be robust. We tested it and loved it." "With no expectations of the outcome, we then went over to Student Life and Leadership on campus and made a live demo which generated an immediate positive chain reaction. We had created the first CSUSM college radio, which by the way it has been granted full status as an organized club on campus as of February of 2010." "Yes we are new and we plan to be here for a long time!" P: What is your m ission statement? RV: "By the s tudents for the students!" P: What type of radio s t a - tion would you consider yourself? RV: "CSUSM College Radio was founded with a purpose in mind and that is to encourage and promote cultural diversity on campus. So send us your request and if you feel you have the courage to talk on the radio email us collegeradio@csusm. info." P: How can students listen in and interact with college radio? RV: "Please go to www. csusm.info and send us your request through our contact page. You can chat with us or simply call us at (760) 6704131." P: What does college radio strive for in the future? What will become of college radio? RV: "College Radio is here to stay." P: What are unique projects will our college radio host? RV: "We will cover news, sports, current events and your favorite music." CSUSM College Radio primarily runs through online streaming, their interactive website offers video shows of the most recent student organization fair and they are eager to begin offering footage and live radio casting from sporting events.

The following game will be March 6 playing Chapman again with home field advantage at 2:00 PM. located at Escondido High School. "A lot of people don't know about CSUSM's baseball team. We love our fans, but we would love it if even more CSUSM students and fans could make it to pur games," said Eric Juliennif a current Senior. With the new Softball field built for the 2010 season, athletics on campus have gained support from stúdents/staff/fácülty. Now, the baseball team awaits their turn for a home field here on campus. Even with their home fields spread out around San Diego at Escondido High School, Poway High School, and Point Loma, the team's season thus far has shown a great amount of success and dedication. "I think our team should do pretty well this season though. Hopefully, we can make it to playoffs and win," continued Julienne. On March 9, the cougars will be playing a double header facing Illinois Tech at 11:00 AM and at 6:00 PM at Escondido High School.

Craziness hits the nation The Crazies hits the nation on Feb 26, starring Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell the movie is about a small town in Iowa that becomes infected by a toxin that turns its residents in to psychopaths. All seems perfectly well for Sheriff David Dunn (Timothy Olyphant) in the town of Ogden Marsh until he is forced to shoot a citizen at a local baseball game. Suddenly the town's residents By Bill Rhein /Senior Staff Writer "BITCH SLAP" BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer JJ cial aspect to this type of film is can it create the tension and the suspense? The crazies definitely delivers on this account, there are numerous scenes constructed purely on tension that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat. The slow build up of the music and the different use of camera angles create the tension needed to keep the audience focused for the' heart in your mouth' moment. If you are the kind of person that likes movies that make you 'jump out of your seat' then this one is for you, countless scenes can make the viewer leave their chair. So if you know your partner is a bit 'jumpy' then take them to see this, they'll be holding on to you for support all the way through. However, for me some of the scenes became a little predictable, as it was clear towards the end that the 'jump out of your chair' moment was coming, and as a result I wasn't surprised when it did. I felt that the characters were quite believable for most of the movie; Timothy Olyphant plays his character quite well.

W hy can some people memorize a whole telephone book, yet not relate socially in even the most basic terms. Professor Alex Durig of CSUSM recently published a book that sheds light on these behaviors. Dung's book, Autism and the Crisis of Meaning, is the first comprehensive theory describing five core behaviors that make up autism. His book possesses a view that does not rob autistic individuals of their humanity, like many theories do. Said Durig, "Autistics have been dehumanized, when in fact they merely have a different form of perception. Autism is not a character flaw, rather it reflects an individual's ability to process social information." According to Durig, human actions have a balaiic ratio of deductive,' computerlike thinking land inductive social thinking. In the autistic, the scales are tipped! with a high amount of deductive thinking, and a low amount of inductive thinking causing them to be socially awkward j though they may be highly intelligent. The book provides insight in to the everyday behavior of autistics as well as providing individual accounts Durig will be at CSUSM's first book signing March 21, from 11:30 a.m.-l:30p.m. in the book store courtyard.

Koenig, Renee Curry, Ed Thompson, Norma Yuskos, Cheryl Evans �TTERS TO THE EDITOR Stop bagging on teachers Dear Editor, (Mary Szerpakiewicz) Insulted many people unfairly in (her) letter to The Pride. Students should not be described as a "top notch competitive product/' They are bright, intelligent people. Very few students graduate from public schools illiterate and unprepared for college or the real world. Teachers in the public school system have not been "giving a poor performance" -which teachers are you referring to? The teachers we know have been dedicated, hardworking instructors. They've implemented new programs, spent hours after school in preparation and inspired understanding and curiosity in their students. The teachers did not "threaten to harm the children.^ Their strike was to improve the quality of education the children would receive. If a few students are graduating fro public schools illiterate, you should rethinkyour blame. Very rarely is it because of the teacher. Lee Iacocca says it best: "In complete rational society, the best of us would aspire to be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have." People like you underestimate the responsibility, dedication, motivation, challenge, patience, effort and education most teachers provide for their students.

According to Women's Studies instructor/coordinator, ProfessorDawn Formo, one month was too confining for a national recognition of women. Faculty also plan for a month long series of events in conjunction with the California Center for the Arts, Escondido.

Her performances have been so powerful that they have drawn attention from Boston's club audiences to those in the record industry. With her debut album "The Liverpool Sessions," a combination of pop and punk music, she scored a hot hit single in "Dandelion."This accomplishment earned her the Boston Music Award for Best Rock Single and Best Local Female vocalistin the BostonPhoenix/WFNX best music poll. Her new pop/punk compact disk, 'The Burdens of Being Upright,w tells a biographical tale about a girl getting even with the ones who make her angry.

The event was free for students, faculty and staff. Guest speakers* games and prizes highlighted the event, which was billed as "a lighthearted approach to a serious subject." Jim Yolk, of the American Red Cross, addressed the issue of preparedness in case of a disaster. "The biggest risk we have [in southern California] is fire." Yolk acknowledged that earthquakes and floods are threats, but explained that "if you look at it from the standpoint of statistics, and history .... what are we responding to on a regular basis? We had 376 disaster responses in the last fiscal year. A vast majority of those disasters were fires, and the vast majority of those fires were preventable."

Specifically, the NLRC conducts research, trains researchers and provides information systems reflecting Latino demographics. This was the first open house for the NRLC since it moved from San Diego State University two years ago.

By: Roland Arias Jr. Pride Staff Writer "The graduation process is not really clear because it is not explained like it should be," said business student Nathan Suwarnasara, "You know the deadlines but you don't get much detail." The final steps toward a degree may be a trying time for some students, and the process of applying for graduation may also be frustrating. One issue that can confuse students is knowing when to graduate. Generally, stu- dents should apply for graduation the semester before they intend to graduate. An undergraduate student must have completed 90 units before s/he can apply. However, in addition to worrying about completing the necessary units, students must consider other issues. Walking Vs. Graduating One issue that can confuse students is "walking" in the graduation ceremony compared to the "completion of one's degree." The ceremony is considered a oncea-year celebration that recognizes graduates for the current academic year. Graduation refers to the completion of all requirements needed to complete a degree. Often times a student will walk in the graduation ceremony during the spring even if s/he still needs more units for summer graduation. Students who have completed the requirements for their degree in the fall semester will participate in the graduation ceremony for the following spring. »Article continues on page 2 Scotchgreens cMm Student WesWalsmrth plays lead guitar in popular local band* TkeScotckgreens. (Pride Pkota/Melame Addington) News Arts 1 -4 Opinion 6-7 5 Calendar 8 Please Recycle This Paper JL �D ay C are Rate H ike By: Clay Baber Pride Staff Writer By providing childcare services at a discounted rate for students, faculty, and staff, the ASI Early Learning Center has been taking a loss. "Last year we were actually losing money," said Joyce Williams, Program Director for the ELC. "We were paying out more than we were bringing in from tuition". Based on a study conducted by Williams and ASI Executive Director Darlene Willis, they determined that it costs the ELC $25 dollars per child to provide one full day of childcare. Last year the ELC charged CSUSM students $20 dollars per day for childcare; faculty and staff $23 dollars per day; and community families $25 dollars per day. With the exception of the children of community families, the ELC's costs for providing care for each child exceeded what was being charged in tuition. "The fees had not been increased in more than a year," said Williams. Last December, however, the ASI Board of Directors approved an increase in tuition for the ELC. The tuition increase applies to both full day care (for 10 hours and 45 minutes) and part day (for five hours and 45 minutes). The fee increase will take effect in two phases; the first phase began in February. The first phase involved an increase in tuition from $23 to $25 dollars per day for full day f care for the children of CSUSM faculty and staff, and an increase from $25 to $27 dollars per day for community families. There will be no change in tuition for part day care, nor will there be any change in tuition for full day care for the children of CSUSM students. When the second phase begins in July, there will be an increase in tuition from $20 to $22 dollars per day for full day care for the children of CSUSM students, but no further increase for faculty, staff, and community families. Additionally, the* tuition for part day care will be increased by $1 dollar per day for all children. This equates to an increase from $14 to $15 dollars for students, from $16 to $17 dollars for faculty and staff, and from $17 to $18 dollars for community families. In comparison, the Child Development Center at Palomar College is able to offer free childcare to students because their program is totally subsidized by the state. Currently, the only subsidies for the ELC come from ASI. CSUSM students pay $5 dollars per semester for the ELC with their student fees; however, faculty and staff do not pay. "The problem with this is that ASI was subsidizing CSUSM faculty and staff with student fees," said Williams. Williams indicated that another reason for the increase in tuition is due to the lack of state funding for the ELC. "Funding first became available in April of last year. We were not granted the funding, so we have applied again this year," explained Williams. "It comes down to who writes the best grant proposal and who has the best interview to determine who is awarded the funding." Without state funding, the ELC has no choice but to raise the tuition. "We are always looking for grants or funding so that we can achieve our ultimate goal of providing free childcare for CSUSM students," said Williams. According to Williams, the ELC Ms recently applied for a state grant that would subsidize childcare fees for students based on income and family size. A response to this application is expected by July first of this year. She also indicated that the ELC is currently in the process of applying for a second state grant that would provide part day care services for students, faculty/staff, and other community families. "We will continue to apply until we are funded." Currently any student with a child attending the ELC or another off campus childcare center is eligible to apply for the ASI Childcare Scholarship, which is available during the Spring and Fall semesters of each academic year. "This scholarship provides $200 to $900 dollars for qualifying students to use for childcare expenses," said Tammy Rodriguez, ASI Childcare Representative. Despite the current and proposed increases in tuition, Williams commented, "We are now serving more children and families than we ever have." and that able readers from outside that discipline can read with pleasure and understanding.

Given the right resources and knowing the right time to apply, the graduation process can be simple if all the necessary steps are taken. "Applying on time is the best way to avoid precarious situations," said Andres Favela, Assistant Dean of Student Relations. Often times, students apply after the graduation deadline, which delays the process of their graduation. Advisors can help students that applied late for graduation, but the paperwork is slowed down in comparison with the paperwork of students that have applied on time.

Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer "When I first heard about the shooting, I was pulling into the university parking lot and wondering if I was going to make it to my class on time," said CSUSM student Darlene Browning. "When I heard the words 'Santana High School,' I couldn't believe it. Memories came flooding back to me of my days there." Browning, an alumna of Santana High, also has a nephew, Tommy, who attends the high school. After hearing of the shooting, Browning frantically called each of her family members in East County to find out if Tommy was okay. She found out he was quite shaken up. Tommy had been in the bathroom where the killings would take place moments later. "He heard the shots echo, turned around to see what had happened and saw the security guard getting shot," said Browning. Tommy then fled the scene and caught a ride home with a friend. When he arrived home, Tommy and his mother went to Albertson's supermarket to try and help kids find their parents. "I do not think he should be tried as an adult," Browning said, referring to Andy Williams, the gunman. "From what I have read, this is his first offense and I think there is great hope for him, but not if we try him out of the juvenile court system." When asked if she thought that there should be tougher gun laws, Browning replied, "I don't think there should be harsher gun laws. What has happened here and elsewhere is a symptom of a much deeper problem." Browning went on to say that she felt young people are not being heard during adolescence, a critical point in their lives. "High schools are so crowded today," she said. "How can a teacher adequately attend to the emotional, social and academic needs of each student?" Browning continued, "All I know is, from personal experience, that if you have a troubled teen, you are very aware of it but many times do not know how to get help for him or her. You feel like a failure because our teens are not coping with everyday life. Seeking help outside of one's self takes a lot of courage and humility. Knowing where to find that help is sometimes perplexing." Tragedy Prompts CSUSM Policy Revision N ew System W ill Distinguish Between Response a nd Recovery »Article contfrom page 1 the college prepared to? Although the current crisis management policy has very specific protocol for handling "critical incidents," the college is revising its policies. While there may be nothing wrong with the current policy, Vice President of Student Affairs, Francine Martinez said, "We're broadening our policy so it's across the board for everyone." The mission statement of the current policy reads : "The purpose of this policy is to provide clear direction and consistency in responding to a campus crisis directly involving students." The revision will reorganize the team into primary and secondary teams; the primary team will deal with initial response while the secondary team will deal with recovery. Martinez said the revision aims to provide consistency for faculty and staff as well as students, and to "clearly distinguish between response and recovery." Response steps will focus , on immediate police action, sealing off the campus if necessary and securing the safety of those on campus. Recovery involves counseling, any and all steps to help heal and, according to Martinez, "taking steps to bring the community back to a sense of normalcy." These steps would include what CAPS Director David Blasband calls "debriefing or critical incident debriefing," a process of providing help and support for anyone who needs it. The Employee Assistance Program provides such services for faculty and staff. "We're trying to be more sensitive to stress," Blasband said. "Students are stressed in a variety of ways and there are different ways to act that out. We're trying to deal with problems as they develop, before they escalate." After the incident at Santana, all CSUSM students with a Santee zip code were called, as a reminder that CAPS was there and that any support or help they needed was available. Martinez said that Santana High School called in over 200 licensed psychologists for assistance after the shootings, and that CSUSM would do the same. "We would not think we could handle it ourselves, and we would bring in as much help as was needed." Although the policy revision is not based solely on the incident at Santana, it's being examined in light of what CSUSM can do to ensure the campus remains safe. "The Santana shootings speak to the increased use of violence to deal with our frustration, how we express our rage, depression and anxiety. It's becoming an increasingly 'okay' thing to do this," said Dean Jonathan Poullard. Blasband said that Counseling and Psychological Services aims to "recognize the signs (of stress, depression and anxiety) and to address them before anything happens. [We're] increasing our focus on prevention as well as intervention." Martinez said she hopes the revised policy will serve as an educational tool as well as provide protocol for crisis management. "Campus-wide training will be made available not only to faculty but students as well," she said. The training will begin this summer and will be offered at least once a semester. The revised policy will add the Associate Vice-President of Academic Affairs to the primary response team and move the positions of CAPS Director and Director of Facility Services to the secondary recovery team, which may also include Director of Student Health Services and Director of Human Resources, and any others on an "as needed" basis. Students are encouraged to contact members of Student Crisis Management with any information on suspicious or changed behavior in fellow students, and to contact CAPS for any support, resources or help they need. Student Crisis Management, a team developed specifically to prepare for and deal with similar occurrences, includes Francine Martinez, Vice-President for Student Affairs; University President, Alexander Gonzalez; University Chief of Police, Tom Schultheis; Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard; Campus Public Information Officer, Rick Moore; Risk Management Coordinator, Linda Letter; Director of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), David Blasband; and Director of Facility Services, Tom Blair. Disaster Workshop Held »Article contfrom page 1 and supplies. San Marcos Fire Department Captain Brett Vanwey and CSUSM Campus Police Chief Tom Schultheis spoke about what to do in the event of an emergency on campus. They emphasized that having a plan is the most important asset to one's survival in the event of a disaster. Vanwey suggests making yourself aware of your surroundings and to know the locations of fire extinguishers and exits. Schultheis reit- erated that it's always a good idea to have an emergency kit. Some essentials are food, water, clothes, a radio and a flashlight. Cathy Gremett, Clinical Aid II with Student Health Services, helped coordinate the event. "The campus does have an emergency plan in action," she said. "The purpose of [the workshop] is student welfare." Free dessert and prizes such as flashlights, sleeping bags and emergency kits were handed out to attendees. The event was sponsored by several businesses.

I 1 1 �T he P ride Local Bands Perform For St. Paddys Day By: Melanie Addington and Victoria Segall Pride Editors There is no better place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than a Mexican restaurant. Three bands performed at Tio Leo's on St. Patrick's Day for a 21-and-up crowd. The Creepy Creeps began the night with its performance. The four-member band dressed in black from head to toe and wore black and white face paint. Their image and musical sound may best be described as the Munsters meet the MTV generation. As she headed towards the dance floor, CSUSM student Michelle happily shouted, "The Creepy Creeps really make me move, I can really dance to this!" The second act of the evening was the Down's Family, with a punk-rock approach appropriate for the holiday. With its punk rock meets Irish pub sound, the music was much too loud for the small venue, but the crowded dance floor indicated that people were having a good time. The final performance of the night was the Scotchgreens.

Mariscal spentthe second half ofhis presentation showing videotaped footage of Chicano antiwar demonstrations. It is a little known fact that 20,000-30,000 Chicano anti-war protesters demonstrated in 1970 at Laguna Park in East Los Angeles, California. The event ended in violence. Ruben Salazar, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, was killed in the demonstration when he was struck by a tear gas projectile. Mariscal said, "We now know that the L.A. police department and the FBI infiltrated the Chicano anti-war movement" by disrupting the demonstrations. The presentation ended with the viewing of Chicano Moratorium, a documentary directed by Victor Milan. In this film, David Sanchez, founder of the "Brown Berets," addresses a crowd of protesters. He tells them that Chicanos died in Vietnam at twice the rate of Caucasians. "This is our land, not our government," shouted Sanchez, to a crowd standing in the cold rain. The video ends with a crowd of people marching in the rain down Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles. Mariscal, who served more than ten months in Vietnam, said that racial issues of thirty years ago are still present today. Mariscal also told the audience how he believes that Chicanos are under-represented in institutions such as CSUSM and UCSD, but over-represented in the Armed Forces and prisons. He ended his presentation by saying, " The working class, all races, fought disproportionately in the front lines." Slam Poet Steals Show By: Darcy Walker Pride Opinion Editor Warmed by the sun and cooled by an afternoon breeze, a small audience gathered in the Library Courtyard, Wednesday March 14, for an open-mic poetry reading. The reading was one of a series of events celebrating Women's Herstory Month, sponsored and promoted by ASI. Waiting patiently for ASI to set up, Sociology Professor Sharon Elise, who hosted the event, remained relaxed, telling the audience of less than 20 men and women that there would be "a short pause for the cause." After a 25-minute delay, Brad Schmidt and Dean Manship of ASI set up the PA equipment, and the reading got underway. Honee Folk, a student and member of ASI, read first. Her poem, "I've Been Robbed," was one she wrote while in high school. Although it was her first public reading, Folk later said that the event had a relaxed, "nopressure," feel. Folk said the only pressure came from within: "Just my own butterflies," The second poet was Jennifer Geran, who Elise introduced as co-host of San Diego Slam, a team of Slam poets who compete nationally. Geran read three poems in her first visit to the microphone, including one about the attractive and repulsive qualities of a Barbie doll, another called "Eunice Mother Betty," and one dedicated to her grandmother, called "Gladys." The last poem includes the lines, "When the mopping dissatisfies you / you beat us unmercifully / at Go Fish and Crazy Eights." Professor Elise then introduced Quincy Sultzbaugh, a Women's Studies major and CSUSM's first Ethnic Studies minor. Sultzbaugh read a poem called, "Why Did You?" about] a girl molested by a family mem ber. Full of images of anger and| sadness, the poem ended on aj hopeful, positive note. After offering the floor to any other readers, and getting no takers, Professor Elise read one of her own poems, "Ain't No Love Like." She prefaced it with, "it's a long piece, so I hope that you can bear with me on a little journey." Elise's reading used strong rhythm, call and response, and singing to carry the audience through cities and towns, rivers and villages, where "Black love" has "gone global." With no more poets coming forward, Jennifer Geran read again, to the obvious delight of the audience. She followed the poem "Bizarro Laura Petry" with the statement, "I am Very fascinated by the people I see on TV, so I've written many poems for them." Indeed, Geran's (Top) Jennifer Geran, a member of the Slam team was the highlight of the Woman's Herstory poetry event. (Top right corner) Professor Sharon Elise hosted the event. (Bottom right) CSUSM student Honee Folk read a poem she had written in high school titled "I've Been Robbed." (Pride Photos/Victor Padilla) poems examine arid attack several aspects of culture and the media. "Karen Carpenter at the Clinique Counter Getting Ready for her Date With Richard Nixon," was another example of Geran's sharp wit and talent. Geran and her Slam group, Poetry Scene Stealers, give regu- lar performances and host openmike nights at the Rendezvous Cafe at College Ave. and El Cajon Blvd. �The ____ Opinion P r i d e l f l s £ t /ie Tsyctle fairy C^fSfSBx | C ^^lor Victonaff.Scgall | Dear Psyche Fairy, Opinion Editor Wilte . • j Feature Editor ..vMathaaFM^'' I a m under a lot of stress Copy Editor | right now.

The Sentence On Friday, March 2nd a young woman in a silver car came to my aid. She practiced a "random act of kindness". You all know how frustrating it is to have a five-dollar bill and the parking ticket machine keeps rejecting it! I had only two dollars in change, so asked the kind stranger if she had change for a five. She looked at me and said, "Here, just take this dollar bill." I was very grateful since I was already running a little late, and told her that I will repay the favor to someone else down the road in her honor. We are all socially responsible for each other, and it was so nice to have her simple gesture reaffirm my convictions. Thank you for the chance to share this small CSUSM community with caring people like the young woman in the silver car. If you. are that woman, please email me at the address below. Sincerely, Shelli Douglass of a Fourteen Year Old Boy What does the life in prison sentencing of a fourteen-year-old boy say about America's belief in rehabilitation? If the courts, ideally representative of the population, come to the conclusion that a child of fourteen has no possibility of rehabilitation, how does that portray an acceptable model of human development? Think back to when you were twelve years old (Tate was 12 at the time of the incident).How much have you changed? I was never involved with the death of a fellow human, but at the same time, I'm definitely glad I'm not still held accountable or judged on what I did when I was 12! James Newell �Opinion The P ride Tuesday, March 20,2001 7 W hat Is My Ethnicity? By: Roland Arias Jr. Pride Staff Writer Recently I had a debate with one of my cousins, who lives in Quezon City, in the Philippines. In our little debate, my cousin and I discussed what truly constitutes one's cultural identity. "You can't really be a true Filipino unless you speak Tagalpg and immerse yourself in the. lifestyle here. You can't understand what it is to be Filipino unless you live in the Philippines," my> cousin told me. ^ . But what determines one's cultural identity? Is it our genetic sequences, arranged in the form of a double helix? Is it the environment one is socialized into? Is it the continent that one lives on? Is it the language one speaks at home? For many members of emmigrated, second-generation families in the United States, asking yourself what your ethnicity is can be a trying question. Because I was bora and raised exclusively in the United States and only speak English, I began to question whether or not I was a "true" Filipino. Under my cousin's criteria, my claim to Filipino heritage was almost non-existent. When I was younger* and first considered this question, I felt like a part of my identity was missing because I did not speak Tagalog Growing up, I would listen with envy as my Tagalog-speaking friends would converse in their native tongue with their parents, as if it was second nature to them. When their parents asked me if I spoke Tagalog, I would slowly shake my head no. With a look of surprise and astonishment at a Filipino boy who did not know how to speak Tagalog, some would roll their eyes as if I were totally oblivious to Filipino culture. There were other times when I would listen to my grandma singing in Tagalog and could only listen to the familiar sounding words, not knowing their full meaning or context. Everyone else knew their "native" dialect, why couldn't I? rather than Filipino, I believe that the values, customs, and traditions that I practice determine my ethnicity, not just the language I speak and where I live. One's cultural identity should not be measured by what characteristics are missing, but by the characteristics a person values and cherishes. Granted, I will never understand what it is like to live in the Philippines, but I carry the values* and customs of Filipino culture that my parents have instilled in me and I plan to carry them on to my children as well. At the cost (in opportunity) of not being bilingual, my parents made the decision to communicate with me exclusively in English. I love my parents for always having my best interests in mind and I have no regrets that they did not teach me Tagalog, or any of the many dialects that are spoken in the Philippines when I was younger. I have realized that not speaking Tagalog did not make me less Filipino than any other person of Filipino decent. Quezon City? The Philippines is one of the most beautiful places in the World, but I would never feel truly at home there. Do I consider myself a "true" Filipino? My identity is composed of many components, being Filipino will always be one of them. I feel fortunate that I have been raised in such a diverse environment where I can pride myself in being part of a collective but at the same time be recognized for When I asked my parents why they did not teach me the person that I am. in my native language, they simply said, "because we did Would l i e willing to learn Tagalog in my adult not want you to have a hard time in school. You are not life? Learning another language is an asset than can only just Filipino, you are an American:" better a person as a whole. Would I feel "at home" in For those of you who have trouble answering that question, "What is my ethnicity?" Your culture and your identity is what you make of it. No one knows your ethnicity and your own identity better than you. Although my cousin would label me "Americanized" Xjio C&iapus B ASI will be holding their annual elections for new officers at the end of April. Would you be interested in running for an office?

Javonda Franklin (Senior, Communications) (Senior, Business) D ome Vs. H igh S chool C afeterias By: Claudia Ignacio Pride Staff Writer How different is the Dome from a high school cafeteria? Well, to be honest, not at all. The fact is, the university needs to bring more variety of food to campus. I am tired of eating the same plates every week. I am frustrated by the fact that* they cannot even cook a quesadilla with white cheese. How hard can that be? So what if I am picky—I am paying for it. For a student who has been here a few years and who unfortunately has no time to go down to San Marcos Boulevard to get some real food, the Dome is the only alternative, and a nightmare at times. My appetite goes away because I am so tired of the routine food that is offered at the Dome. If other restaurants are not served as food at CSUSM, the profits would be tremendously higher than what the Dome makes right now. Students like me eat because they have to, but not necessarily because we enjoy it. Lunch at the Dome reminds me of my elementary and high school years—just when I thought I was out of them. The convenience store is as bad as the Dome. My advice to all of you when buying at the convenience store is to look at the expiration date, and for anything weird, before your appetite gets scared away. And then you wonder why we cannot eat healthy! At this campus there is nothing healthy. Finally, plan on bringing your own chair and table if you want to eat at the Dome. No. I don't have enough time to put my all into it and I'm not interested in politics. No. I don't think I have very much time in my schedule. Time is pretty much the only reason. I would have to say no because it seems very time consuming. I don't think I could give a 100% to do a good enough job. Pegah Ghannadian (Sophomore, Business) Felipe Sanchez (Sophomore, Int. Business) Lauren Seal (Freshman, Psychology) Teachers M ake A ttendance A Problem Sarah Philipps Pride Staff Writer Many students come to college with the expectation of being treated as an adult. Unfortunately many professors do not treat their students as such. I find it yery frustrating to walk into a class and have the first ten minutes wasted on a professor taking attendance. Does it really matter whether or not we show up to class? It seems to me that the only reason that a professor would think it necessary to take roll is because he/she has experienced a lack of students attending the class. Perhaps students are not attending class because their professor is boring, and they would rather stay t ome and enjoy the warmth and comfort of their own bed instead of trying to make themselves comfortable while being lulled to sleep by their professor droning on in a monotone voice. Maybe the professor has a complex about his/her teaching skills, resulting in them forcing you to come and pretend to be a captive audience. I am not exactly sure. I do know that it seems like the really boring professors are the only ones that do take attendance. Professors that have a passion for the topic that they are teaching, whose class is enjoyable because they make learning interesting and fun, do not take roll. Maybe it is because the professor has been around longer and has realized how to make something unappealing seem appealing and fun. Maybe it is because they are secure in their ability to teach, or maybe they have realized that after thirteen years of being forced to go to class, they feel that we are old enough and mature enough to make a decision for ourselves and suffer the consequences of our actions. I am not saying that we should all continually ditch class. We all know that if we don't go to class there is a bigger chance for failure or unsatisfactory grades. What I am saying is that maybe the professors at CSUSM need to recognize that we are all adults and that as adults we make choices. Some of these choices may not be what the professor would consider to be the best choice, but at least we would be given the opportunity to decide for ourselves and not have it dutifully called to everyone's attention during roll call. �Calendar 8 Tuesday, M a r c h 2 0 , 2 0 0 1 On Campus Events Tuesday, March 20 Women's Herstory Month Film Series: The Speeches of Famous Women Time: ll:45am-l :30pm Location: Commons 206 Location: Craven 4201 Meet and talk with graduation advisors from the CoAS.

As a working mother and student, she says that she doesn't have much time for anything else. When asked how she counteracts the many stressors that are in her life she said, "I shop." As a senior, Collins had some advice for new students, "Get school done with before you have a family and get support from family members if you see yourself too stressed." Max Klinock, a retired CSUSM student says that his biggest stressors are his Calculus class, a programming class and parking at CSUSM. To relax and take a break from these stressors he goes to the beach, to church and teaches Sunday school. Klinock also advises that students "too stressed to cope should see the counselors that the school provides." According to the experts, all of these are great practices in reducing stress of the working and full-time student. Campus director of CSUSM's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), Dr. David Blasband, says that in order to cope with these hectic times in a student's life, s/he should "learn time management skills" and "be able to realize what you can handle." Blasband also encourages students to get to the bottom of "what is stressing them." When asked what types of relaxation methods ease the nerves of the stressed out student, Blasband noted that it's important to "do the things you like, such as walking. Get at least a half an hour of aerobic exercise." He also said that it's very helpful to "get away from things for awhile." However, if these methods do not work and the person still has problems with overwhelming stress, Blasband suggests s/he get support from family, friends, or CSUSM's Counseling and Psychological Services.

As a result, undergraduate students will pay $252 more. Student fees increased by 14% in the 2004-05 academic year. In the 2005-06 academic year, fees increased by 8%. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger provided an additional $54.4 million for the 20062007 academic year in order to eliminate the 8% increase that was originally proposed by the Chancellor Reed and the Board of Trustees. For years, the CSU system of higher education has been looked to an example of quality education at an affordable price. With 23 campuses, the CSU is made up of 417,000 students and 46,000 faculty and staff members. It began in 1961 and annually, 84,000 students obtain degrees from the CSU. In 2004, Chancellor Reed cut the budget by $11 million.

The program includes advanced historical studies with media and technology skills as applied to the research, presentation, and preservation of history. The original deadline for the Fall 2007 semester was March 15th. However the deadline has been extended to April 23rd. Students in the history program will be required to take courses in four categories. These categories are historiography and the philosophy of history, thematic historical topics in specific world areas, critical historical media studies, and media and technology skills as applied to historical research, writing, presentation, and teaching. Students entering the program must meet all admission requirements for the Department" of History and CSUSM requirements for graduate study. In addition, the program requires a Bachelor's degree from a university i n history or in a related field with at least four upper-division courses in history. The program mandates the completion of History 301 or an equivalent. S eeGRAD, p age2 S tudents t o s upport faculty strike BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Issues such as the increase in student fees, lack of professors and class availability are telling of the CSU's current condition. These issues shadow the future California Faculty Association strike against the CSU and now Angela Stubbs, President of CSU Students for Quality Education, is letting students know what they can do about it, in what she calls, "Our Professor's Campaign." Stubbs, a CSUSM student held a meeting for students on Thursday, March 15 in Markstein Hall. CSU Students for Quality Education is a coalition led by students on every CSU campus to promote the well being of the CSU. The meeting drew about 50 students and aimed to educate See STUDENT, page 3 �««Ml T HE (^PRIDE KA «( N i v sn m a £a wTTiit ) ifiSï ttfj! astry fiAVttì ÜMWf ' gpgj P I EA 5C UME U | RD _ D$ S 5 J D ; From FEES, page 1 or have gone on to work outside of the CSU. From October 2005 to January 2007, CSU Presidents, combined, received a total salary raise of $919,270. All CSU Presidents receive compensation that includes housing, car and salary fees. From July 2005 to July 2006, CSU Presidents, combined, received a 21% compensation increase, totaling $1,312,982. Chair of the CSU Board of Trustees Roberta Achtenberg, said, "Student fees are part of the overall revenue mix that is needed to sustain our outstanding university system. The CSU receives its revenues basically from state General Funds and fee revenues. Currently, employee compensation for all employees accounts for 74 percent of the expenditure budget. The trustees are committed to bringing all salaries up to market rate in order to remain competitive. We cannot move forward on this effort without either a larger portion of the state General Fund or an increase in student fees." Dennis Armstrong of the CSU stated, "The Governor's budget assumes $174.5 million from the state General Fund and $123 million in fee revenue, based on a 10 percent increase in student fees and fee revenue associated with a 2.5 percent enrollment growth." Armstrong added, "To eliminate the fee increase, the legislature and Governor would need to provide an additional $65.2 million of state general fund revenue. If any portion of the fees are 'bought out,' the CSU Board of Trustees would rescind that portion of the fee increase," said Armstrong. history program also requires two sets of official transcripts, three letters of recommendation, a 750-word statement, and a formal writing example. The history program marks a significant step in CSUSM's history. With the arrival of this new program CSUSM becomes even more distinguished and unique for current and future Cougars. The program will be the first master's degree combining history and media in the country. The program will also be the only program outside of the east cost offering these specific studies. "Students pursuing CSUSM's Master of Arts in History will not only master a specific historical field but also acquire skills in new media and technology. Our degree allows students to tailor their coursework to their individual historical interests and technological needs. Students will have the option of completing their degree with either a traditional master's thesis or an extensive project involving technology and history. Additionally, the program will provide opportunities for internships and experience teaching history in the college classroom" states the CSUSM History Department's webpage.

It was noted that since 2002, Chancellor Reed and the Board of Trustees have raised student fees by 76%. The administration has plans to increase the fees by 10% through 2010. It was also noted that 10% of the CSU budget comes from fee increases and that 80% of the budget comes from the state. This information proved that the increases in student fees do not affect the salary budget for faculty. Although some believe that the increases in student fees add to faculty salaries, the two are unrelated. Student fees, students learned at the meeting, will increase by 91% in the nextfiveyears. Dr. Linda Pershing of the Women's Studies department discussed how the department has seen only one new professor since 2001. Dr. Pershing mentioned that the Women's Studies department will lose one more professor this spring as a result of California's cost of living and the inadequate pay. "We're losing people," Dr. Pershing said. "We can't attract new faculty." Stubbs added, "It does affect us. If teachers don't want to work for the CSU, classes will be cancelled." Stubbs emphasized that students are here to learn from professors who want to be a part of the CSU as much as students do. "60% of Cal State professors come from the CSU," Stubbs said. Upon learning that the CFA will go orf strike before the end of the semester, one student asked Stubbs, "How do we show support?" Stubbs replied, "We're not standing behind them. We're standing beside them. Sign a commitment card. Pledge to support the two day rolling strike and not cross the picket line." Evelyn Henriquez, a member of ASI's President's Cabinet, discussed. ASI's neutral position on the CFA strike. Henriquez mentioned how ASI's Board of Directors did not ask the President's Cabinet for their stance on the strike. "So they've basically silenced a vast majority of students who have power," said Henriquez. Upon hearing this, a student "We're not standing behind them. We're standing beside them." -Angela Stubbs President of CSUSQE from the crowd asked, "Is there any way to overturn this vote on ASI?" Henriquez and Stubbs agreed that there wasn't any way to overturn the strike. "On other campuses, ASI is supportive," Stubbs said. "But some are taking a neutral stance." During ASI's March 5 meeting, Vice President of External Affairs, Jeremy Mills stated ASI's resolution on the CFA and the CSU collective bargaining. Mills said, "Basically, we are taking the stance that students have no place in the collective bargaining process. There's no way for us to truly know what's going on in the collective bargaining process because they do have closed session meetings and the only information we get is when either side walks out of that meeting and spins it and so it's very hard for us to get away from the emotional pleas and get down to the nitty-gritty of what the business is all about. And so basically we're saying that we understand that [faculty] is trying to get a contract negotiation, we understand that it's going to start possibly affecting our student constituency groups. We think that [faculty] should get paid a fair and equitable rate." Mills added, "Not necessarily us on this campus so much, but on other campuses, [students] have been extremely pulled in both directions by their administration and their CFA because for both sides if they get the students on their side, they have a stronger likelihood of getting what they want. We're basically saying we're taking a position of that we don't have a position because there's no way we could have one because it's too complex for us to process." Regarding the time in which students will learn of the strike taking place, one student asked, "How much heads up will we have?" Stubbs replied, "You might have a week, you might have a day before." Regarding Chancellor Reed, another student asked, "How will this affect him?" Stubbs explained that the strike on Twin Oaks Valley Road would generate media attention, immediately resulting in politicians enforcing change. Each campus will sporadically participate in two day rolling strikes until a negotiation is reached. The strikes will not occur in the same two days. One student asked, "Why not do all the strike in two days?" An SQUE representative from CSULA answered, "Then he knows we've done it already, and it gives the other campuses the chance to see who's on strike." dent for being I minor in procession I H of alcohol io Lot N- The non-studentmm l i i l l issued a citation. • -v- Bujfglary ..'

Track Team Looks Great at Occidental Distance Classic March 16, 2007. It was another strong performance for the Cougar track team on Friday, as the squad qualified six more athletes for Nationals at the Occidental Distance Classic. On the men's side, three Cougars earned their trip to the Nationals Championships. They're the first CSUSM men to qualify since the 2005 season. Leading the way was Juan Mejia. The cross country star competed in his first 10k run of the track season, and certainly did not disappoint. He finished 2nd, posting a time of 31:0X08. Two 5,000-meter runners qualified as well for the men. Sergio Gonzalez posted a time of 14:58.70, and Mike Crouch ran 15:11.16. They finished 3rd and 5th, respectively. Finally, though Tony Guadagnini didn't qualify for Nationals, he gave a strong performance in the 1,500m,finishing5th with a time of3:57.83. Not to be outdone, three women qualified for Nationals as well on Friday. Morgan Sjogren, Emily Jones, and Whitney Patton all ran great times and will join the numerous Cougar women who have already earned their way to the Championships thus far. Competing in the 10k, Patton was tremendous. She won the meet easily, and her time of 37:44.20 was over a minute better than the top qualifying standard. Meanwhile, Patton and Jones competed in the steeplechase andfinishedfirstand second, respectively. Patton ran 11:22.24, and Jones finished right behind her with an 11:24.64. Baseball Blasts Central Christian in Double-Header March 17, 2007. Central Christian College came to San Marcos all the way from Kansas, but the Cougars proved to be unkind hosts, sweeping them in a double-header Saturday, > CSUSM came out swinging i n game one, winning4 17 6 M 7 innings; After spotting Central Christian a run in the top of the first, the Cougars exploded for their best offensive inning of the season m the bottom of the frame. Things started slow with a leadoff groundout a routine ball t o the shortstop, but an error allowed the runner to reach. CSUSM would capitalize in a big way, as Scott Shapiro knocked in the firstrun with a single* Austin Way followed that up with an RBI base hit of his own to make the score 2-0, Then Central Christian starter Greg Daugherty began to struggle, hitting Terry Moritz with a pitch to load the bases. After a pop-out, Ian Chatfield was hit by a pitch to push across a run, and Jason Hinton walked to plate another. The next run came across when Ricardo Moran was hit by a pitch. Tristan Gale then delivered a two-RBI double, knocking Daugherty out of the game. But the Cougars weren't done, as Shapiro walked, and Way delivered his second hit of the inning - this time a double that scored two more. When the dust settled, the Cougars led 10-1. CSUSM made it 134 i n the 3rd, as Gale and Way were knocked in by a Moritz groundout and Spencer Pardon single. three solid inning but hit the wall in the fourth, He was greeted with á double and a single, and after á f é^ wild pitches and a walk, a Jacob Morales dpúble madé the game 13-6 and chased Skaalén from the game.

Grant Harrell then pitched a perfect 7th to close out the game. Game two wasn't quite as flashy, but CSUSM picked up the win nonetheless by a 6-2 score. Yet again the Cougars got off to a huge start, this time scoring 6 in the first inning off Central Christian starter Sean Faulkner. Speedy Jason Hinton got the ball rolling with a leadoff single and was drove hoine by a one-out Tristan Gale triple, Shapiro was hit by a pitch for the third time on the day, and Austin Way doubled home another run. Adam Ricciardulli then plated two with a single.

The Cougar bullpen continued to shine as well, shutting down the opposing lineup to close out the game. Lance McCormick struck out two in pitching a scoreless sixth, while David Julio allowed the first two batters to reach base before striking out the side to end the contest. Overall, it was a very successful day for Cougar baseball The young squad's record is now 9-14 on the year, and they appear to be settling in to playing at San Marcos High. The team will hope to carry that over to Mission Bay High on Tuesday though, where they'll take on Westmont Mid-Season report on Cougar Baseball and Softball Photos courtesy of Cory Scoggin / www.scoggart.com BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer This first ever season of the baseball and softball programs at CSUSM are showing promise of a bright future. Head coaches Jennifer Milo, softball, and Dennis Pugh, baseball, are both encouraged by the growth of their teams. At inception, success in terms of wins is not a true indicator of potential. Both squads have improved on thefieldas this year has progressed. Cougar baseball had a terrific showing in the PLNU Spring Classic earlier this month, and the softball team has been hanging tough lately, picking up a couple wins and enduring some close losses in the past seven games. CSUSM softball picked up an early win against then #10 Concordia, but Coach Milo knew it would not be so easy. As of March 16, their record stood at 3-15. The Cougars have lost three games by one run in the last couple of weeks and have been highly competitive as the season wears on. Coach Milo stated, "At the midway point I'd hoped the won/loss record would be a little better but we're happy. After a rocky beginning with a lot of youth on defense, this team is playing much better right now." Following a hard fought game on Saturday March 10, when the Cougars lost at Division 1 opponent and local college USD, Coach Milo exclaimed, "Against a D1 opponent, we were the better team on the field." The Cougars lost that game 4-3 after leading 3-0 late in the game. Earlier this year, USD handed CSUSM an 8-0 mercy rule loss. The goal of this team in its inaugural season is to show improvement, and it has. Some pleasant surprises for the Cougar softball team are Freshmen Erica Coehlo and Elizabeth Bush. Coehlo, labeled "Miss Versatile" by Coach Milo, is hitting .306 and is third on the team in runs scored with 7. "Her main duty coming in was as a pitcher, but she can play anywhere," said Coach Milo. Elizabeth Bush is batting a robust .353 on a team that hits .239 collectively. Bush leads the team with 11 runs scored, and is tied for second in RBI with 8. The Cougar baseball team has not only grown as a unit, the results have translated into victories in the past month. After an 0-7 start, the Cougars have gone 7-7. "I feel great, the team is playing much better, but we have a lot of catching up to do," said Coach Pugh. The PLNU Spring Classic, held March 5 through 8, finished with the Cougars going 3-1. Coach Pugh stated, "We played better teams to start the season." And while they have played well against lesser competition as of late, Pugh is "looking forward to how we rebound. Over the next six or seven weeks we have a lot of tougher games. I'm excited to see how we play against them the second time around." The offense of the Cougars is the strong point, and the young pitching staff is getting more comfortable as the season progresses. SR Scott Shapiro leads the team in RBI with 19 and is batting .329. Tristan Gale is leading the team with a .347 average as a junior. Palomar CC transfer, junior Terry Moritz has been solid, hitting .324 and is tied with Shapiro and Gale for the team lead in HR with 4. As to the recent success Coach Pugh responded, "The kids are getting along. I'm really happy with their progression." Along with the 77 record the past month the Cougars have only lost one game by more than 3 runs in that span. This team is in just about every game, and with a few key hits or a couple defensive plays late in games, they could have a much better record. Coach Pugh encouraged, "Get away from the won/loss record." As for the future of this program, Coach Pugh is very optimistic saying that "recruiting is going well, but it would really help if we had our own facility." The two programs are moving in the right direction. Both head coaches have local area roots enabling them to bring in some talented kids. Getting through this first year of growing pains is a learning experience for coaches and players alike. With a year under their belt, the youth of these teams will continue to gel, while incoming talent will serve to make them a formidable match-up against anybody.

On Tuesday, March 13, Viacom, the mutli-billion dollar media corporation that houses MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Dream Works and Paramount Pictures, filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Google Inc., and its trendy video hosting website, YouTube. The purpose of the billion-dollar suit, one might ask? Viacom claims YouTube is in violation of extensive copyright infringement by hosting Unauthorized and copyrighted entertainment clips; and not only that, but also that YouTube is in violation at least 160,000 times. Additionally, since the claim was filed, Viacom has cited upwards of 50,000 more clips that fall into the same category. Plus, of the initial 160,000 clips, Viacom estimates that the clips have been viewed at least 1.5 billion times. The lawsuit, which was handed over just six weeks after Viacom requested for YouTube to take off at least 100,000 of the unauthorized clips, was filed in the U.S. District Court in New York. To date, the swelling opposition between YouTube and Viacom is the largest altercation between a key media corporation and the broadly wellliked video site purchased by Google last November for $1.65 billion. "Over the past decade, the emergence of broadband networks, Internet protocol a nd' inexpensive wireless networks has revolutionized the way Americans inform and entertain themselves," began the complaint issued by Viacom. "Entrepreneurs have made fortunes providing the networks, the tools and the creative works that have fueled this revolution. But these same innovations have also been misused to fuel an explosion of copyright infringement by exploiting the inexpensive duplication and distribution made possible by digital technology." The complaint continues, "YouTube has harnessed technology to willfully infringe copyrights on a huge scale, depriving writers, composers and performers of the rewards they are owed for effort and innovation, reducing the incentives of America's creative industries, and profiting from the illegal conduct of others as well. Using the leverage of the Internet, YouTube appropriates the value of creative content on a massive scale for YouTube's benefit without payment or license, YouTube's brazen disregard of the intellectual property laws fundamentally threatens not just [Viacom], but the economic underpinnings of one of the most important sectors of the United States economy." In response, Google issued a statement saying that it's "confident YouTube has respected the legal rights of copyright holders." Trying to fall back the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCS) of 1998* Google's lawyers are hoping the DMCA will protect them. Furthermore, even though YouTube has been Consistently plagued with unauthorized material appearing on the site, YouTube sticks to its guns in repeating that it does not control the site's content because users post the content, and have control over what they post. With*the motto of "Broadcast Yourself," and millions of users, it is no doubt that the majority of CSUSM students have visited or even fréquent YouTube and its ,variety of user-posted content. So, what does the billion-dollar lawsuit mean for students? It might mean no more 3 minute clips .of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," or clips of last week's "Colbert Report;" In fact, it very well could mean no movie trailers of clips from DreamWorks Animation favorites like "Shrek," "Sharktale," "Madagascar," and "Shrek 2;" all of which happen to be owned T hürs 22 VOTINGforASI Elections!

Even though Google and YouTube offer free accounts and free access to users, should the lawsuit stay intact even after the appeal of the DMCA, there is no guarantee that there won't be future lawsuits, and unseen costs cast onto users. While there is no statement or public talk of Google or YouTube charging users, there is no telling what the future of the Internet and the user interface of the mighty search engine and its video sharing site will resort to if push comes to shove. However, speculation aside, Google ensures users that "We will certainly not let this suit become a distraction to the continuing growth and strong performance of YouTube and its ability to attract more users, more traffic and build a stronger community." �Feeding the Meine erne on m m BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer l i m •gir Students tend to need a pick-me-up. Balancing classes, homework, exam preparation, and a social schedule is a tall order. What do you reach for when the feet are dragging and the eyes are drooping? Instant energy. Coffee drinks will never be replaced, but the energy drink craze has boomed in the last five years. Red Bull got the ball rolling, and its success has led to the invention of an array of brands and flavors. According to the official Red Bull website, "To feel its effects at best, you should drink it in times of increased mental and physical strain, for example, on long sleep-inducl ing motorways, during intensive workjj| ing days, prior to demanding athletic activities or before tests and exams. It is recommended to drink one can of Red Bull Energy Drink about 30 min before the start of a concentration task or the start of a race or game in sports." Sounds like a pretty good 'choicl W ^xolfe^-fstutKftt. There are two main on campus sites to obtain a variety of energy drinks. Tim and Sandra Sabatini own and operate the Campus Coffee Cart, which is centrally located between the Commons and Academic Hall. Resting up against Science Hall, the Campus Coffee Cart sells snacks, sandwiches, and a bevy of drinks. They carry roughly 15 different energy drinks, with the cola flavored Rockstar, and the original green label Monster, topping the list. Along with the most popular, they carry: Amp, Rockstar in guava and orange, Monster Chaos, Sobe, and sugar-free versions of most. Sabatini said, "We listen to the students and carry what they recommend. Like Amp (a Mountain Dew derivative), we had requests to carry it and now we do." Tim and Sandra expressed that they encourage student feedback and hope to provide what the student body is craving. According to Sabatini, the Campus Coffee Cart sells "a lot" of energy drinks from open at 7 a.m., to close 5:30 p.m. MTh and 12:30 p.m. on Friday. The second location for an energy drink fix is Cougar Corner. Conveniently located inside The Dome, Cougar Corner is run by Melanie Neidens. Neidens said her most popular energy drinks are original Monster, Red Bull, and newcomer Amp. Cougar Corner San Marcos West ( 760) 5 10-1997 goes through two cases of origi623 Rancho Santa Fe Rd.

Neidens said, "If they ask we try it, [and] if it doesn't move we don't bring it back." Cougar Corner carries a wide variety with the fruity versions selling slower than the originals. On the recent increase in sales of energy drinks Neidens said, "You are still getting vitamins, Taurine, B12, and other natural energy." Along with the two major outposts on campus, energy drinks can also be found in the nooks and crannys of the CSUSM campus. Most Cofcl-Cola vending machines sell Rockstar, and locations include: Commons above the bookstore, near the Office of Extended Studies near the top parking lot, the second floor of Science Hall 2, and outside the first floor of Kellogg adjacent to the flag poles. Additionally, there are a few Red Bull vending machines on campus with one tucked in the corner outside Markstein Hall with one right next to it that sells Full Throttle Blue Demon, a new up-and-comer according to Neidens. There is another Red Bull machine in the hallway of the Dome, and the Academic Hall side of Palm Court has another vending machine for Full Throttle Blue Demon. "I like the Monster Chaos," said senior Rachelle Acker, "it is fruity and it tastes good." Acker is a regular at the Campus Coffee Cart. "I like the Monster Chaos," said junior Adam Lowe. "It has a sweet citrus flavor kind of like O J." Choosing an energy drink to satisfy one's caffeine fix is becoming increasingly harder with more choices and more locations to choose from. Though energy drinks are different from coffee which can cause a feeling of being weighed down, and even a stomach ache, energy drinks do carry their own side effects. As energy drinks continue to sell fast at CSUSM, it important to keep in mind the effects energy drinks and the large amounts of caffeine they contain can have on one's health. Not only can high caffeine consumption cause brief changes in one's behavior, but it can also cause hyperactivity, increased blood pressure, irregular heart beats, and unhealthy spikes in blood sugar. Not to mention that caffeine is a highly addictive substance. Caffeine is a stimulant for the nervous system, providing the extra kick we have all come to rely on, especially during midterms. But, just like any other stimulant, its effect does wear off eventually, and putting the body into overdrive for an extended period of time will begin to take its toll. Thus, with the widespread popularity of energy drinks on campus, and the rapid rate at which students consume them, it is important to keep in mind that just because they are called "energy" drinks, it does not mean they are healthy or good for you. �Recipes for Spring Break disaster 10 Courtesy of The Pride 12 13 14 Last week's key 15 17 18 20 22 23 The three letters of most concern w hen being promiscuous.

This is how it went: Bud Black: "As the new manager, I would like to discuss our plans heading into the season. First, lets call roll. Adams, check. Bard, check. Barfield... Barfield.. Josh Barfield?" Trevor Hoffman: "IJh Skip, the boss dealt him to Cleveland for Kouzmanoff." Black: "Kouzma-who? Whatever, I guess this is an old roster. Forget roll call, lets do some introductions. You over there with the reading glasses, what's your name?" Jake Peavy: "Skip, that's Greg Maddux. He's only won four Cy Young Awards, 16 Gold Gloves, and a World Series championship." Black: "I know, Jake. I'm just messing with Mad Dawg. We go way back. I remember back on September 8, 1991 when I was with the Giants we beat Maddux and the Cubs 4-3 with a four run 7th." Cla Meredith: "Dang, Skip. How old are you two? In 1991,1 was in little league." Black: "Don't worry about it. On to other business. We have a gap in left field that we need to fill. We have a number of..." David Wells: "Hey Bud, do I really have to stick around for this? I mean, I'm a pitcher, not an outfielder. Not to mention, happy hour starts in 10 minutes." Black: "Just hang a little longer, David. We'll get you out of here soon." Terrmel Sledge: "Skip, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for the spot in left." Black: "Tell me about yourself. Which team were you with last season?" Sledge: "I was with this team. I only got into 38 games, but..." _ Marcus Giles: "Skip, Brian just gave me a wet willy." Black: "Brian, leave your brother alone." Brian Giles: "He did it first." Black: "So like I was saying. We need a left fielder since Bochy took Roberts and Klesko with him to the Bay." Russell Branyan: "I can do it. I've always wanted the chance to be an everyday player. I think I could hit 40 jacks if just given the opportunity." Black: "As good as 40 homers sounds, it's your 200 strikeouts I'm afraid of." Adrian Gonzalez: "Coach, I can play left field and first base if you need me to." Black: "Gonzo, I wish I could write your name twice in the everyday line-up, because by the looks of last year's stats, you and Piazza were the only offensive threats. Speaking of Piazza, he's late to the meeting." Hoffman: "Sorry to bring this up, Skip. But, the Boss let him go to Oakland." Black: "Well, looks like we need to fill that position too." Chris Young: "Skip, I've worked out a simple mathematical equation that will result in a World Series championship if Rob Bowen becomes our everyday catcher." Mike Cameron: "Chris, I know you went to Princeton, but that's just dumb. Where did you get this idea from?" Young: "I got it from this guy named Josh Sandoval. He seems to know what he's talking about. He can be reached at Sando026@csusm.edu." On March 13, 2007 I arrived on Campus around 8:45 that morning (the regular time I arrive for a 9 AM class). I turned on to Campus Way from Barham Dr. I continued [turning} right onto Campus View Dr. to head towards parking lot C. After waiting in a huge line of traffic for almost [ten] minutes just to turn right onto Craven Dr, the [police] officer finally let the cars move. Then while waiting to turn left into parking lot C, another officer held the cars [there] for almost [another] [four], to [five] minutes. I noticed that there are normally one or two parking [attendants] directing traffic in the morning, but on March 13, there were actual police officers. These officers may have been trying to help move traffic along better, but had actually cause me (I am sure others as well) to be late for class. While waiting in the large line of cars, I had noticed there was no pattern for the directions the officer was giving, not giving cars in each direction a change to cross the intersection. There has been less traffic without any direction in the morning than with these officers. The parking [attendant] that usually directs traffic in the morning and at [University] hour does a much better job. Please keep the officers away from traffic [direction;] it is only making more traffic! -Dan Evans 28 California Legislators address CFA strike; urge CSU (Mtfantta legislature STATE CAPITOL SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA March 12,2007 Dr. Charles Reed Chancellor California State University 401 Golden Shore Long Beach, CA 90802 Dear Chancellor Reed: As members of the California State Legislature we believe one of the most critical challenges facing the California State University this year is the impending faculty strike. We are disappointed at reports that after over 20 months of bargaining there is still no contract agreement with the California Faculty Association. As we know you are aware, CSU faculty salaries are much lower than faculty salaries at comparable universities, and the average salary for CSU tenure-track faculty is actually lower than the average salary of tenure-track faculty teaching at community colleges. While you have argued that CSU campuses are strugglingfinancially,you awarded your executives salary and benefit increases that average 23% over the last several years. Given your administration's willingness to entertain salary increases for executives, we urge you to accept the challenge of negotiating equitable increases for faculty as soon as possible and avoid any further delays. A few years ago you signed a Compact funding agreement with the Governor, hailing it as a significant breakthrough to ensure CSU funding stability - an agreement that was reached without your ever notifying the legislature of these discussions. Prior to t hat your administration ventured on a colossal information technology project - again, without the advice and oversight of the legislature - that was highly criticized in a state audit, for everything from its $660 million costs to its inoperability and closed bidding process. While we may not understand your reasons for such decisions, we view these as examples of misplaced priorities that give little appreciation for the circumstances of faculty and students in your system. We, the undersigned members, urge you to settle this contract with your faculty. Your Compact agreement was signed with the understanding that it would provide sufficient funding for CSU campus needs, including the salaries of all its employees - n ot just executives. The CSU is a teaching institution, and you must respect and nurture this mission above all else. Now is the time to settle your differences with the faculty, before a strike occurs and before we begin state budget hearings. We find a 20-month delay unacceptable. Given the number of critical challenges facing the CSU, we encourage you to prioritize your efforts in the next few weeks to focus on attending to the faculty's reasonable contract terms. We await your reply.

Idriss inquired with a grin. In any other situation this would seem to be a very odd question indeed; however, this question was posed during the run up to the Muslim holy day of Eid Al-Adhha which involves a sheep sacrifice. I was quite pleased that Idriss had brought sheep into the conversation; after aM,Twasvery curious about Muslim culture, and throughout my three day stay Idriss (a local guide) was more than happy to tell me all about it. I decided to leave Marrakesh, Morocco, to travel north to reach Fez, as I had heard a lot of good things about the city. The added allure of Fez being that I could also visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. In addition to visiting Fez, I wanted to stop off in Meknes and, time permitting, I also hoped to spend a day in Casablanca, which is almost on the way back to Marrakesh; well, not so much 'on the way' as a few hours train ride to the coast. However, first things first: I had to get from the train station to my accommodation, a 400 yr. old traditional Moroccan Riad. A wild petite taxi ride later, and I was dropped off at the Hotel Jamaiis near the ancient walls of the old town Medina. The entrance to Medina was too small for motor vehicles, so I had to make my way to the Riad through the uneven, high-walled Medina passageways by foot. Luckily, it was not hard to find, and when the large, unassuming exteripr door was opened up— i was completely blown away by what I saw. Everything was covered in small colorful mosaics, and in the center of the rectangular courtyard, a beautiful fountain bubbled away soothingly. Four high interior walls surrounded the courtyard. These walls contained all the rooms. Large mosaic-covered columns supported the roof, while spectacular wooden shutters covered the various stained glass windows of the rooms. To be honest, staying a Riad is the best way to get a feel for Moroccan life. In addition, staying in a Riad also allows one to taste the most authentic food, which is exactly what Luiza—the Riad owner—astounded me with as I settled down to dinner in the coolness of the courtyard. A huge, fragrant assortment ofMoroccan style tapas was presented to me, after my hands were washed in rose water. And, amongst the offerings was a multicolored array of locally grown olives—my favorite! I soon realized however, that this was only the first course. Subsequently, plates and plates of exoticlooking sweet and spicy smelling foods were brought out to me, along with a brief explanation of what everything was. Needless to say, I went to bed that night very satisfied, which was a good thing as I had an action packed day planned the next day. Fez is basically three cities in one: Fez el J'did, Fez el Bali— the old town in which I stayed—and the new town, "Nouvelle Ville." The sand-colored high fortress still surrounds the Medina of Fez el Bali and is one of the largest living medieval cities in the world. I decided to go on a tour with Idriss around the souqs (marketplaces) of the Medina, as I had heard that navigating through them yourself was next to impossible, and a few minutes later I was able to see why. The souqs (pronounced 'sooks'), which turned out to be right around the corner from the Riad, were incredible; a veritable maze of high-walled, narrow alleys lined with various street vendors. People were everywhere, going about their daily lives. Pungent scents leapt into the air as I walked by the assortment of stalls. After a while, Idriss and I stumbled upon a courtyard full of donkeys and bleating sheep. Inevitably, it turned out to be the place to buy sacrificial sheep along with the hay to feed them. The courtyard naturally contained a great deal of banter between the vendors and buyers and the air was a buzz with contagious energy. Indeed, it was at this point that I felt so truly electrified that I couldn't keep the smile off my face; I was completely immersed in a world that was so unbelievably different and this was only day one of my travels in Fez. The souqs of Fez were and still are today a wonderful assault on the senses and is one ^of the ^biggest draws to the area. Yet, in my opinion, there is so much else to do like a trip to the ancient city of Meknes and the stunning Roman ruins of Volublis. In all, if you are in Morocco, do not be daunted by the 10 hour train ride to get to Fez from Marrakesh as it offers a very different experience than that of Marrakesh. In fact, one thing I noticed was that everyone on the train was very friendly and very talkative; within minutes the whole car was chatting together. In fact, it was here on the train that I had some very informative conversations about Morocco and the Muslim faith. At one point I sat beside a man who worked for the King's sister! It doesn't get more culturally enriching than this, so get out there, especially those of you who are timid. Explore your senses of wonderment and treat yourself to a taste of the unknown. It will enrich you in ways you never thought possible. �CD r e v i e w : ^ ftftfttt<% . '% Sticky bubblegum pop with Sherwood BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Sherwood, the indie quartet from San Luis Obispo, Ca. credits their name inspiration to the enchanting green forest in the tale of "Robin Hood." And, although there are no tights or feather-decorated hats to be found on the guys of Sherwood, the morale in "Robin Hood" of good triumphing over evil fares well with the motto of Sherwood's latest release, "A Different Light." Previously signed to SideCho Records for their last full-length, "Sing But Keep Going" and "The Summer EP," releases the switch from SideCho to MySpace Records has unquestionably been a positive transformation for the band ofcreative twenty-somethings. Comprised of Joe Greenetz (drums), Nate Henry (vocals, bass guitar), Dan Koch (guitar, vocals), and Mike Leibovich (keys, percussion), Sherwood's makeup is all about making a difference through the causes they support: Music Saves Lives, More Important Than Music, and Save Darfur. Reflecting an optimistic outlook, "A Different Light" is uplifting and easy on the ears, not to mention fun to sing along to. Reminiscent of earlier Relient K, with a hint of Motion City Soundtrack, Sherwood's sound and style—although catchy and as poppy as bazooka bubblegum—is comparable to that of Mae and Waking Ashland. Of the 13 tracks on "A Different Light," there are quite a few standout tracks. The title track, "Middle of the Night," "Song In My Head," "Give Up," and "Never Ready to Leave" are all smashing hits on "A Different Light." Additionally, "For the Longest Time" is a snappy ditty, with plenty of "bop-bop-bahs" to croon along to. "Never Ready to Leave" is drenched in Motion City Soundtrack harmonies and could almost be the baby sister to Motion City Soundtrack's single "LG Faud." "Alive" begins with a softer Beach Boys vibe then progresses into another boppy and entertaining cut. Rightly so, there isn't one track on "A Different Light" that leads the listener astray. There is no way to go wrong with Sherwood's latest release. Furthermore, for the Sherwood fans out there, Sherwood is scheduled to make a pit stop in San Diego on their current tour at the House of Blues downtown along with Mae and Relient K on April 11. Set to play in the middle of the lively lineup, the April 11 show should be a magical and memorable gig for band members and fans alike.

Images of women from all walks of life, from various parts of the globe, spanning seven decades hang side by side, forming a surprisingly cohesive collection. "These images enrich our understanding of how women looked, were treated, or asserted themselves in various eras, from the late 19th to the early and mid-20th century," said Carol McCusker, MoPA Curator of Photog- * raphy. "Collectively, they act as a tribute to the. ageless art of portraiture and to women of energy, confidence, endurance, humor and intelligence everywhere." In Bert Hardy's "Goodbye" (1942), two women on a train platform wave. One presses a handkerchief to her mouth, her perfect suit contrasting with the fear and sadness in her eyes. It is May 23,1942 in Great Britain; three days later, Rommel would begin an offensive against British troops at Gazala. Though it is a British train platform in the picture, British women, the same scene was being played out in the United States, as American women in their smart suits were waving goodbye, praying for the safe return of their loved ones. Today the scene remains the same - different place, different time, same heartbreak. The juxtapositions and subtle connections between images make for a powerful viewing experience. A young Latina gazes rebelliously within a wreath of roses in Luis Gonzales Palma's "La Rosa" (1989), a handpainted photogravure. Nearby, "She is a Tree of Life to Them" (1950) depicts a young black mother holding her children close, in her eyes a look of distrust mingled with defiance. On the same wall, a woman dries cloth in 1970s Vietnam, a lone black figure against a sea of white cloth. On another wall, Heinrich Kuhn's "The Breeze" (c. 1904) captures two English women in Victorian dress standing upon a grassy knoll being harassed by a roguish breeze; one woman's jacket is blown open, exposing the high-collared pristine white blouse beneath. There is a large element of subjectivity when viewing any exhibition, but it seems that that element takes on a particularly powerful role in the exhibition. "I am bringing my own experience to this collection, and that you the viewer will have your own journey through it. The joy here is not just in the quality of the art, but also in the wonderment at the who, what, where, when, and how of these women," Whoopi Goldberg stated, in the forward to the exhibition's accompanying book. The viewer can't help but bring his or her own experiences — memories of loved women, cultural associations, cherished ideals of feminine beauty - into the museum. Whether the images correspond to one's beliefs and memories or whether they contradict them, "Woman: A Celebration" is an experience not to be quickly forgotten. "Woman: A Celebration" will be on view at the Museum of Photographic Arts through May 6, and those wanting to take the experience home with them may purchase the book for $22.95 at MoPA's bookstore.

Restaurant review: Local deli tastes like home BY SHAWN MCKECHNIE Pride Staff Writer Few students have ever heard of Tina's Deli, and even those that have can rarely remember where it is. This legendary San Marcos sandwich shop is located just on the other side of the freeway at 760 North Twin Oaks Valley Road. It is a small, family owned deli that likes to consider its food as "more than; a meal." % \• The atmosphere is simple 'with plenty of bench seating ¡around the counters and epctra seating in backforthose that do not like to eat on the run. The sandwiches run the gambit from the classic BLT to the always delicious Torpedo, a sandwich that cannot be explained only enjoyed. The clientele is exactly what you would expect because of its close proximity to both Palomar and CSUSM. Students make up most of the business, but it is extremely common to see administrators, teachers, police andfirefighterscatching a quick bite to eat on their lunch breaks. The service at Tina's is rivaled by few restaurants, and the staff seems to know every patron's name. How they do this is a mystery, but it adds, to the small town feel that they seem to strive for. Not only is the staff outgoing and personable, but there is a strong sense of community while taking luiiph ai the deli. It is hard to sit and eat without seeing-someone that you know from class, a teacher that you have previously had, or friends that you did not know you would meet there. This adds to the friendly community atmosphere that makes Tina's more than a deli. The price is reasonable and most sandwiches are around five dollars, with students getting an extra 10% off, which is a nice bonus. There is no such thing as a "combo meal" or "supersizing," but they do have plenty of chips and drinks to choose from if you find yourself wanting a little bit more. Service and atmosphere are both good things when considering where to eat, but what really matters is the quality of the food. Each sandwich^ made to order but tastes more like something a mother would make than a restaurant. These days it is hard to find good home cooked meals, but at Tina's a warm cup of soup and a hearty sandwich is the standard/From the thick slices of bacon to the insane amount of meat theyfiton their sandwiches, Tina's Deli doe's everything above and beyond what students have come to expect from every other San Marcos eatery.

Carolina Cardenas is the Director of ACCESS, the academic program which oversees GEAR UP, SASOP & Upward Bound. In the March 13, 2000 issue of The Pride, the edi tors would like to clarify information in Pride Staff Writer Amanda Bergara's article "The National Latino Research Center Benefits CSUSM Students, Faculty and Community". Concerning thefirstsentence ofthe article, the NLRC can only be considered "a major institution concerned with disseminating research throughout the country,'* according to Dr. Soriano, i.e. the NLRC could be considered a "hub" for providing information regarding nationwide research on Latino populations, but not for actual "nationwide research." In the first sentence of the second paragraph, the NLRC is piloting the Youth Research Center, and one of its projects is to study "the precise issues and barriers preventing studentsfromcompleting high school," but is not the Youth Research Center's sole purpose. ; Thomas Jefferson School of Law A Qreat Legal Education... and sSo Miuch We provide More We care about our tudents and t shows. an outstanding legal education in a supportive, collegial atmosphere with innovative academic programs.

XV NO. 10 Police called to calm horld of their songs, models,aairtdyes, hampusAmerican military left, ostility h c air dressers, after the event w BY JON THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Last Thursday evening, CSUSM was introduced to "One Woman's Story," a presentation by Faiz AlAraji an Iraqi woman, on her her recent experiences as an Iraqi. The evening held much more than expected, as Campus police had to be called to the scene. The event began with a brief introduction by Fredi Avalos. "Faiz has literally risked her safety to be here tonight, because she felt her message was so urgent for the American people to hear." Faiz Al-Araji began her presentation with a description ofhow she is "now able to see Iraq from the eyes of Americans, from watching your television." She explains that she understands what is presented to Americans through the media, and she understands this, clothes and furniture." Al-Araji asks, "What about the people who are dying? If you want to be ignorant and lazy, then take the American media as it is, but if you look for the truth you will find it." Al-Araji notes, "It will be hard." Those looking for contradiction in her criticism of Ameriof Mark Day can culture might Photo courtesy site an excerpt of Alrather than blaming the Ameri- Araji's personal BLOG, where can people.

Al-Araji characterized Ameri- and relatives. I miss having tea can culture as creating "ignorant, with them, laughing, and talking selfish and lazy people living in a about our kids, husbands, dresses, and all other trivia. I miss shopping and buying new clothes and shoes." Going into a bit of the history about the American Iraqi conflict, Al-Araji references Desert Storm as having "started a culture of revenge." She explains that "Americans tried to get the Shiite people to fight the Sunni because of their relations with Saddam." With a look of pride, Al-Araji then tells of how the Sunni people would not join the Americans. Her demeanor changed again to a serious, yet sympathetic tone as she described the situation as an attempt by the American administration to "send a message about the Ba'athist ... that they are monsters, and (that) the world needs to be rid of them." According to Al-Araji, Saddam's revenge killings, that occurred are also a result of this. "It's the administration that is pushing Iraq towards civil war by separating the country by ethnicity t o..." she explained with some English help from the audience, "control, divide and conquer." Americans seek to "change the structure of Iraq by letting the people group by race, and it has ruined their society by dividing them." Al-Araji then accuses the Americans of "building a false foundation," for the Iraqi government so that "it will later fall apart." "The US Administration is no longer interested in just oil; all of this is to build huge military bases in order to stay in Iraq forever." Al-Araji says the AdministraSee SPEAKER, page 2 Drag Show disrobes genderithithemselves to do something like this, and ssues w BY NATASHA HECKENDORN Pride Staff Writer More than two dozen students cheered on the second annual celebration of professional entertainers at the Drag Queen Show, sponsored by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Ally student organization, on Monday, March 20. Transfer student, Jay Franklin, has seen a number of drag competitions while growing up in Virginia, as well as a few here in San Diego, but never on a campus before. "I'm expecting a big performance aspeèt with a lot ofhumor," said Franklin. "One of our goals is to encourage reflection on the issue of gender," said LGBTA advisor, Anne René Elsbree. "For some, Drag is something funny, simply for entertainment. But most see it as validation and as a way to gain personal acceptance." Liberal Studiesfreshman,Kathleen Bartolome was eager to see a great show.

There's usually one in every class, maybe even two or three. There are some all over campus. They may be individuals, groups, organizations, and they are sometimes even invisible. They are the people and the organizations that make a difference and deserve a pat on the back and a thank you. "This is a night where we have the opportunity to recognize and acknowledge student leaders and student groups, rewarding them for all of their efforts," says Sara Gallegos, coordinator of Student Activities for the ASI. This is Gallegos' second year organizing the awards night. The Crash Awards, formally known as The Student Leadership Awards, was renamed to "jazz it up a bit, and incorporate our newly named mascot and to promote campus pride," said Gallegos. She hopes this event will give everyone something to be proud of about Cal State San Marcos. All students, staff and faculty are eligible to pick up an application to nominate student groups, individuals, events or organizations from this academic year. Applications can be obtained in the ASI Business Office located in Commons 207, the Student Life & Leadership Office in Craven 4116, or on the ASI website at www. csusm.edu/asi. All applications for nomination are due to the ASI Business Office by Friday, April 14, no later than 5 p.m. The ceremony will start at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday April 26 and is free for all members of Student Radio on campus See Sports PAGE 5 more power to them." Drag performers, Regina Styles and Kairo Reed, entertained audiences with six solo-lip-sync performances, including provocative dancemoves and engaging interactions with attendees. "The only difference between me and a woman is I take my tits off and don't bleed once a month," said Styles. "Despite that, I am all boy! If you can't capture an audience, there's no point doing drag." Photo by Natasha Heckendorn the University community and $5 for guests not affiliated with CSUSM. Attendees can expect a pasta dinner with performances from student dance groups and a highlight video made by student Garvin Ha. The evening will be hosted by Masters of Ceremonies Farshad Farzad and Elizabeth Sheets, members of the ASI Programming Board. Last year's attendance was estimated at about two hundred people. This year, Gallegos hopes to draw in a crowd of at least two hundred and fifty people. "Last year, we had a dessert buffet," said Gallegos, with hopes that thé pasta dinner may bring in larger numbers. In the past, recipients of the Crash Awards have received desk awards, trophies, andplaques. This year, Gallegos plans on awarding the recipients with plaques.

When the topic of Saddam was addressed more directly, Al-Araji, inastraightforwardmanner, stated, "Who cares about Saddam? He is the past, Iraqis want to talk about the future. Saddam is just a way for the media to confuse the issue of Iraq." Later, Al-Araji describes the fall of Saddam as "trading one thief for thousands." Looking into the origins of the "gangs and mobs" Al-Arji talked about roaming the streets, her own description was given on her 6/26/04 blog: "All of us are in doubt that these are Iraqis ... The poor Iraqis stole furniture, refrigerators, and coolers ... but they wouldn't burn the Ministries, nor rob the National Museum... these are the acts of organized gangs who came from abroad ... awaiting the chance to strike ... People are saying that many mercenaries entered the country with the Americans ... mercenaries from many nationalities." Al-Araji's mood escalated as the evening progressed, often reaching emotional heights that some could have viewed as hysteria, or associated with mass-media representations of the an Anti-American rally. Al-Araji, however, describes herself as on a mission that is "in her heart, burning and dying, like her heart," and describes the poor situation in Iraqi where "the people are dying from lack of food, where there is no water, or electricity, and the unsafe streets are filled with gangs who roam lawless and free, despite the presence of occupation forces." Al-Araji continued to emphasize the "mess" made by the media's emphasis on ethnic unrest, stating repeatedly that the "Iraqis are all one people united under one enemy, the Americans," and observing how "no one has ever asked about my ethnicity before the war, now it is all you here from people." As the time came for questions, NEWS most in the audience expressed praise and gratitude to Al-Araji's for coming to CSUSM. Asking how, with a withdrawal of all Western aid and troops, she saw the future of Iraq, Al-Araji cut the question off, yelling that she has "never seen any aid on the streets and that even the U.N. and UNICEF work against the Iraqi people." Soon laughing, Al-Araji talked about a meeting with UNICEF at the UN in Jordan, and mocks the meeting, explaining what was said to her, "We don't have any programs for Iraqi women now, but maybe you can help us institute a training course." Al-Araji continued to laugh. Rephrasing the question into how she saw Iraq getting rebuilt with a complete withdraw of western influences, Al-Araji erupted into a diatribe on how "Iraq was one of the richest nations in the Middle East. Now we have to pay millions in compensation for war to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran, so they can live their fancy lives ... don't ask me about rebuilding, because we will." Again, more calmly, she was asked, "Ok, my question was where you foresee the future of Iraq going, now that you are all united as one people, how do you plan to rebuild? Al-Araji, again yelling, said that "education in Iraq has always been free, women have always had the right to choose their husband, drive cars and work and travel freety. The Bush Administration claims to have liberated the Iraqi women. What have they done? You tell me?" After an angry exchange on conditions for women in Iraq, AlAraji explained, "Yes, there are educated patriots who can rebuild Iraq, but they need to let Iraq choose its own leaders and withdraw all the troops." When asked about the elections that took place in Iraq, whether those were Iraq's chosen Iraqi leaders, she answered, "Yes, I was happy that it was arightfirststep, but the American ambassador THE PRIDE interfered with his finger in the new government and ruined the future of Iraq. Up till now we still have no government." One might understand this resentment of the current Iraqi government, as she explained in the presentation how her son was detained by the new Interior Ministry, her blog describing him as a journalist for a magazine title translated as 'Conflict.' Al-Araji explained how she "paid a ministry official thousands to get her son released," and immediately fled to the country of Jordan. The air of hostility arose when attendant Nadia Keilani, not a student, but was seen leaving with Al-Araji, began loudly insulting a student who identified herself as Jordanian and argued with AlAraji over the nature of the military presence. The Jordanian student promptly left the room in tears as the rest of the attendants began shouting over each other. Campus police were called to the scene and Keilani was soon asked to accompany Campus police out of the room. Keilani's, only comment on the issue was that "we came here to hear Faiz, not for all this." In the aftermath, student, Kym Mckinzie, reflected that "It's understandable, the animosity she has. They think we support the actions of the administration just because they were elected." Of the event, Mckinzie says she was "Thrilled she (Al-Araji) was willing to come tell her story to a potential unwelcoming crowd." As to the shouting, Alaina Despars, student and friend of the Jordanian Student, stated that, "it's A+substitutes, aids, and S UBS P reschool t eachers.

We called the police because they need to respect us and the campus, it's not okay to put someone down or what they think". An official statement from the Campus Police is still pending. With the crowd dispersing, AlAraji responded to a suggestion that she might have come across somewhat harsh to American audiences, and might not be received well because of it. "I am this way because I want the troops to pull out, to save you from getting killed and to save Iraqis." When asked what she meant by 'killing us,' she replied, "because Iraqis are targeting and killing Americans." As to media reports of Al-Queda and other foreign : insurgents fighting allied troops, she responded with a look of strength and pride. "Yes, in the beginning, maybe there were foreigners fighting the Americans, but now it is all Iraqi patriots, united as one,fightingand killing the Americans wherever they can. The Iraqi and Muslim people are angry, the Americans' violence pushes violence." Avalos closed the evening with thanks to Ms. Al-Araji, and the statement: "This is a forum for peace and dialogue, because we are in a war. Faiz is just one voice to bring into the mix of what you learn. That's what the University is about, hearing different ideas from different cultures, not to hear one or two sides to a story, but to hear twelve.

CLIMB's purpose is to "train and teach students how to be better leaders and mentors" said senior and Alpha Kappa Psi representative Mary Miller. CLIMB offers these breakfast seminars on leadership every spring semester. Past topics have included Women's Leadership and Shared Leadership. Miller wishes to inform the campus that "these seminars are free and open to all students and faculty," and that she highly recommends them to both. Patrick J. Kuhse, International Speaker, Trainer and Consultant on Business Ethics, was the guest speaker for this seminar, bringing his presentation, "Prominence to Prison: Why Leaders Can Do Dumb Things". He shared lessons learned in his journey from being a successful stockbroker in San Diego, to his involvement in a financial fraud scheme. Students, faculty, and community members came to the seminar for many different reasons. Keisuke Manabe, Business major, came hoping "to learn the relations between boss and subordinate." Senior Mike Tompkins attended because, "Dr. Kholes mentioned that it would be an informative discussion on ethics." Community member Dr. Rick Brydges, of the Arc Leadership Group, was invited to the seminar by a few CSUSM faculty members that he met at the Kravitz Institute. Dr. Brydges expressed a great deal of gladness for deciding to attend the event. Before her giving her enthusiastic introduction of Mr. Kuhse, Dr. Raj Pillai offered thanks to those who helped make the seminar possible. Alpha Kappa Psi President Karen Haynes, and Gretchen Sampson were among those proud contributors. When Kuhse got up to speak, he said, "I am not here to teach you business ethics, but to teach you ethics in general." He then went on to explain how unethical behavior led him to become an international fugitive for four years to avoid criminal prosecution. His story taught us the "Eight Critical Thinking Errors" that lead to unethical behavior. First mentioned was "Entitlement," or believing that you deserve something for nothing. Also listed were "Super Optimism," thinking that you're better than From CRASH, page 1 The process which determines the recipient of an award includes an award selection committee that is comprised of six staff members, predetermined by Gallegos.

"Rationalizing," was mentioned alongside "Victim-it is," where those caught play the role of the victim. "Affection Disconnection," an important one to avoid, in which those we love start to drift as unethical behavior makes a person feel detached. "Lazy," speaks for itself, while "Situational Ethics," speak all too often when people pick and choose which set of ethics will serve them. If these terms weren't enough, he even offered a bonus critical thinking error: PIG, which is an acronym for "Personal Instant Gratification". Kuhse urges college students to "question things. It's a great vehicle to keep yourself out of trouble now and in the future." He also adds that, "loved ones are the victims of our unethical behavior." Following the seminar, a few attendees offered what they thought of Kuhse's presentation. Dr. Brydges confirmed, "The more we know about ethics in business and life, the better, because ethics are a fundamental key part of work, but difficult to address." Freshman Christina Ahmadpour found the event " helpful... I do have ethical values and now I am confident that I can stick to them," while sophomore Jan Peters said, "I learned from his mistakes. I realize that to be successful you have to make ethical choices." Others, like freshman Sarah Anderson, learned from Kuhse that, "money doesn't define wealth." Senior Paul Kennedy even fook Kuhse's advice to 'question things' right on the spot, asking about the speaker, "How much did we pay him?"

While most people were warm in their homes, Ana, Katrena and their instructor Lisa Bengtson were working up a sweat, pushing their fitness limits and sharpen- 1 L/A1 ing their coordination as the rain poured down outside. Bengtson's original plan was to have the class outside, but the ground was still wet from last night's rain and dark clouds hung threateningly low in the sky. "I had to improvise because of the rain," said Bengtson as she moved the drill equipment into the gymnasium. The rain came pouring down halfway through the class, tapping on the roof and echoing through the gym, adding percussion to the dance music playing over the speakers. While waiting for class to start, I asked Muslin what motivated her to come out Saturday morning for boot camp. "I want to look good for spring break," said Muslin, who is a senior at Cal State San Marcos. Like a lot of women, Muslin was motivated by a certain swimsuit. "Spring break is in two weeks and I'm going to Florida." For Muslin, fitness is just a part of life and she works out regularly not only to look good, but also to stay healthy. "I try to work out three times a week, but as a biology major, it's hard to find the time," says Muslin. Boot Camp is a somewhat misleading title for what the class actually was. The style of the class resembled boot camp drills, but Bengtson's instruction was nothing like that of a sergeant. She was an encouraging and energetic coach, and the girls responded well to her teaching methods. Even though Muslin and Robinson were clearly no strangers to strenuous exercise, Bengtson managed to put together a challenging workout that combined a variety of techniques including palates and yoga. "I'm not sore now, but I'm sure I will be by tomorrow," said Muslin after class.

"Now is the time to generate interest. Classes create a motivating environment and teach exercises that people can incorporate into their own work out," said Bengtson, who is also the fitness and wellness coordinator at Cal State San Marcos. "Now is the time to learn how to exercise safely and effectively. It's not about doing 500 sit ups; it's about having a quality work out that you enjoy. It's about progressing slowly so that you stay with it. My goal is to provide a variety of fitness activities for all levels."

For more information about upcoming events, visit the website, stop by the Field House, or call Bengtson directly at x7407. She is available Monday thru Friday and sometimes on Saturdays for any fitness or wellness concerns. She can help students put together a fitness schedule, learn how to work out a certain muscle group or answer any other fitness related questions. "If I don't know the answer, I'd be more than happy to help you find it," added Bengtson. F AMILY D ENTISTRY Dr. Marlene Thompson, D.D.S.

Being a sports freak, I jump around from the Scott & BR show on 1090AM to Dan Patrick on ESPN Radio to Jim Rome, and for a little variety, I tune into Howard Stern on Sirius Radio. Everybody has a favorite show that they listen to, but wouldn't it be awesome if your favorite show came from a CSUSM student-operated radio station? Well, I am trying my best to make that a reality. Right now I am leading a group that is researching the possibility of creating a radio station for the campus. This is an idea that has been talked about on this campus for some time now, but nothing has been done thus far. Last semester I was sitting in class when my buddy Blake Brewer asked the question, "Why don't we have a campus radio station?" My answer was that this campus is still so new that there are still a lot of things that need to be established. In recent years, CSUSM has expanded enormously. When I started here in Fall 2003, the library was a little hole in the wall located in Craven Hall because the Kellogg Libaray wasn't completed. Also, a big pile of dirt stood in place of where Markstein Hall is now located. The development that makes me the happiest, of course, is that before Dr. Stephen Nichols became athletic director, I never thought I would be able to attend a CSUSM college baseball, softball, or soccer game, but next school year I will. Those things clearly didn't just happen over night. It took a long process and I am sure this radio station project will also take some time. That is the problem that I am facing. The individuals involved in this project are all graduating within a year. My fear is that this project will die once the five of us graduate and all of the work that we have done will go by the wasyside. With that said, if there are any motivated first-year or secondyear students that are interested in participating in this project-, don't hesitate to e-mail me at sando026@csusm.edu, or stop me on campus because even if I can'tfinishthis project, I want to see it get done. Imagine what a campus radio station could do for CSUSM. Take, for example, what "The Pride" has done for the students. This paper has given the students a voice regarding a wide array of topics. It has also provided opportunity for many of the writers. Former Ombudsman and editor-in-chief, Michael Dolan, now works for the local newspaper, "Today's Local News", in San Marcos. Myself, I have been writing for the "San Diego Union-Tribune" for over two years now. Some of my buddies in the radio industry got their start at college radio stations. The new host of Jammin' Z90's morning show, Chino, got his start at Palomar College. Tre, another host at Z90, got his start at Cal State Northridge. Also, my buddy DJ Todd E. Todd from Z90 started at KCR, the SDSU radio station. A radio station would also help out other departments on campus. Imagine our sports teams having an outlet by which games could be broadcasted, or imagine campus events being recognized all around the world. The campus got notoriety during the Michael Moore situation a while back, but how often do you find yourself explaining that there is a CSU campus in North County, San Diego? I must stress the fact that I am not looking for people who want to be on air. That time will come, but there is still a ton of research that needs to be done and then implementation of that research. Two weeks ago I met with Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students, and I think he hit the nail on the head regarding this project. He says that this university provides opportunity for those that want to build and create something. Once again, e-mail me at sando026@csusm.edu if you are interested in making this dream a reality. Who knows, maybe the next Jim Rome or Howard Stern is a CSUSM student. BY DUSTIN FRANKS Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM Surf Team's A Team fought its way to a 7th place finish last Friday, March 10, at the NSSA State Championships at Churches State Beach in San Clemente, earning them a spot to compete in the coveted National Championships in June. Cold rain and wind beat down hard on the contest site Friday, making the conditions nearly impossible to deal with. The NSSA College Season, already plagued with poor surf this year, was forced to run the contest. The previous event scheduled last month for Santa Barbara's Campus Point had been called off due to poor surfing conditions. With zero swell in the water, the line-up looked fit for a waterskiing competition. While the State Championship at least had something to ride, the stormy conditions made it tough for surfers to find decent waves to ride. Unlike most sports where the playingfieldis even, with surfing, better waves offer the opportunity for higher points. Few good waves were to be found on Friday, and those who were lucky enough tofindthem usually advanced on. College teams from up and down the California coast toughed it out and made do with what they had to work with, though. Competitors and spectators alike huddled under the scaffolding and few tents that hadn't been blown away with the wind, hiding from the rain and cold. They showed how tough the sport can be and braved heats throughout the day in the jumbled up, chest-high, freezing surf. The Cougar's 7th place finish was fueled by standout performances from Sean Hastings and Lucas Dalager who advanced through heats and racked up points all the way up to the Quarter Finals. The top CSUSM placing was earned by Kevin Onizuka, who made it all the way to the finals in the Bodyboard division, placing 4th in the Final. The team will bring the heat, and compete in one more event rescheduled for Huntington Beach's Ninth Street on May 13 to determine their overall season standing. The A team's spot is now secured for Nationals, but will duke it out to try and up their overall ranking for the season. The B team's spot for the National Championships is up in the air, and could have a shot, based upon their result at the next contest. The surf team encourages Cougars to spend a day at the beach and show their school spirit by rooting the team on. Just look for the customized CSUSM tent with the surfing Cougar! The NSSA National Championship is scheduled for June 22-24 at Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point, so mark your calendars!

One student who asked a non-softball question was told by a girl behind him to "shut up." Another student, a Jordanian girl, who had spent the vast majority of her life in the Middle East, spoke out in disagreement with many of the points Al-Araji presented, noting that her experience in the region had been vastly different. Although the girl phrased her argument politely, a member of the audience behind her remarked that "she was ignorant," while another audience member similarly insulted her and forced the student to leave the auditorium. Following the exit of this student, about 10-15 fellow students got up and left, without comment. BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer Freedom of expression and intellectual discourse was stifled Thursday night, March 16, in Markstein 125, as polite debate was exchanged for insults and intolerance. The fireworks at the forum on the situation in Iraq erupted shortly after questions started being taken by the speaker and Iraqi journalist Faiz AlAraji. Although many students simply agreed with Al-Araji's position and comments, or asked for further expansion on topics she had touched upon, a few students attempted to engage Al-Araji in polite The question is: What happened on Thursday night that audience members at a Cal State San Marcos forum felt it necessary to insult their fellow peers? Why were those students who had a differing view of the situation in Iraq not allowed to speak or ask questions? Wasn't that what the forum was all about? Instead of the exodus of the 10 or 15 students that left, why didn't one of the several teachers in the room get up and ask the few audience members who were being insulting toward those asking questions of a differing view point to leave? The event ended with a round of applause, after which Al-Araji referenced back to the Jordanian student's remarks. Comparing the Jordanian girl to Iraqis who support the current U.S. occupation, Al-Araji noted that "there are people like that in every war," or in other words, calling the girl, a student at CSUSM, a traitor. The lecture on Thursday night was interesting and illuminating, yet it was also biased and one-sided. The forum was supposed to be a presentation of new ideas and differing cultural perspectives, yet because of the actions of some, the forum failed on both accounts. The question remains: what happened to respect and the free exchange of ideas March 16, in Markstein Hall? Robbins Report: 'Dude looks like a lady 9 BY JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride Okay, you're going to think that you hate me, but read the whole thing. Did you hear about the upcoming "Drag Show" event on campus? Yeah, they're describing it as a "celebration of professional and local drag stars." First off, understand that I have no clue as to what this celebration will entail and that I'm a proponent of gay rights and same-sex marriage. I have papers to prove it. "Jason, why do you complain about stuff that you're not interested in?" "Why don't you just leave people alone?" They're legitimate questions. In this case, you can bl ame someone else (at least partially). Earlier in the semester, one of my professors joked about how they shove diversity down our throats at CSUSM. This professor went on to explain that diversity is useful, noting that no single group's experience is the source of all knowledge. As much sense as the professor made, I was still shocked. This marked thefirsttime that I've ever heard a professor question the bearings of our ship.

Actually, I disagree on a technicality. Nobody forces anyone to attend events for prostitutes, communists, or drags stars. No. Students hold these events for themselves. They invite some like-minded folks, and blow enough smoke until everyone feels jolly in their bright red diversity suits—and that's cool. Returning to the "Drag Show", I'm fine with the plan (not to say they needed my permission). I'm confident that drag queens and such have something positive to contribute to one's world view. j Good for all CSUSM student and fecuMy! i # $ 3 9 j §ftW Goodforait CSUSM student and faculty! $ 49 Good for all CSUSM student and faculty!

One could argue that minority groups (like those who support drag people) hold such events in order to gain acceptance in society. That's a noble cause. Are the folks behind the "drag show" primarily driven by such a noble cause? In the online announcement for the event, it calls on one to "celebrate the breaking of gender." Is this any different from gaining acceptance in society? I think it is, What i f I'm for it seems in the former, acceptance is negligible. In any event, the "big deal" seems to be about breaking gender. The desire to "break gender" does diversify the view of gender. Although I have to wonder: Does this type of cause work to create the feeling that groups want to shove diversity down our throats? Another question: Do some of us get irritated when it appears that other folks glorify their differences with little respect for our acceptance? Would that be very moral of us?

Spring Break' in Southern California BY ANDREW RUISENO Pride Staff Writer The time of year all college students look forward to is upon us, and no, we are not talking about graduation ... it is this year's spring break! Sure, you may be graduating this May, and for many this means entering the real world, so all the more reason to have one last carefree celebration as a college student. For those of you students who will not be graduating in the spring, this is your week to forget about the trials and tribulations school seems to bring with it. However, if you do not have the airline tickets or the unlimited budget most would love to have on this down time, here are some local ways to spend your spring break in the state that many college students flock to from around the country. Spring break is upon us for the Cai State San Marcos student body and here are some options for those of you who have to stay local in a big way. San Diego is the place to be, so it is not going to be hard finding what to do but rather which event to choose. Belmont Park itself has more to offer than its Giant Dipper rollercoaster; it offers a nice day at the beach with that special someone or friends with arcades and water sport rentals. Mission Beach offers a great night life, as well, with restaurants, bars and clubs. If you happen to stop by the local 21 and up spot Plum Crazy, which pulls in a younger college age crowd, be sure to ask for the 911. The 911, according to signonsandiego.com, is the house specialty which consists of 23 ounces of seven different liquors that resembles a fruit punch. Another spot is Sea World, which is $53 per adult. It may sound terribly cliché, but who doesn't love getting splashed òr least watching people getting splashed by the 10,000-pound killer whale Shamu? Plus, it is a good way to kill an afternoon just walking around eating and making fun of the tourists while you take pictures of every event, including your kisses with dolphins (it could happen). Or if Sea World is not what you would consider a good time, there is always the San Diego Museum of Art, where walking and looking at known art works can be fulfilling and relaxing under the California sun. The San Diego Zoo also offers more attractions then one can visit in just one afternoon. With the exhibits and shows, the San Diego Zoo is truly a place to explore for $32 per adult ticket.

According to signonsadiego.com, Lestat's Coffeehouse was named after the famed brat prince vampire character from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (most notable for the novel "Interview with the Vampire"). Not only do you get gourmet coffee, but a range of gourmet desserts and salads and sandwiches. Not to mention Lestat's Coffeehouse also has a form of entertainment every nigtt, whether i tis a rock band or comedian. Soma is also a good all-ages venue to watch bands play, and this spring break be sure to catch Bleeding Through on March 31 and the punk band Subhumans on April L For those of you who are over 21, there are all the usual suspects for this spring break. The Beauty Bar, according to signonsandiego.com, is one place where it asks "the beautiful people ... the hip ones anyway ... out to play in city heights." The Beauty Bar is a chic location for the San Diego crowd who is into fashion, cocktails, and a 6 dollar manicure while you drink. In Hillcrest, Hamburger Mary's offers a good time for Gays, Lesbians and friends of the community on Sunday nights. This spring break if you are staying in San Diego, do not get disappointed; there is so much to do here, all you have to do is decide where and when, and what next.

He wasn't quite the hero that we remember, but America wasn't quite the place that he expected after 40 years. At the end of that episode, Dr. King gave an incredible speech and moved to Canada. "The Boondocks" is not the typical cartoon. It incorporates Photo courtesy of Cartoon Network Japanese anime with adult-oriented language and humor. According to Boondockstv. com, McGruder's series was originally a comic strip in an independent newspaper. The comic strip has become a huge success and is now published in over 150 newspapers and magazines. In November 2005, the cartoon premiered on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The series follows two African-American brothers, Huey and Riley Freeman, who were adopted by their Granddad. Their Granddad took the inner-city kids and moved them to white suburbia. There is no plot, just their everyday life. Many of the storylines are about race relations. Rather than completely focusing on racism, the show also touches on biracial identity, political values, and inner-city hardships. Huey, the cartoon's protagonist, wants to fix the problems with Afriean-Americans. He knows that racism exists, but not everyone around him does. Huey's younger brother Riley, on the other hand, is one of those people who are oblivious. There's nothing new about the story that many people have not heard about or experienced. But "The Boondocks" does bring something new to the table: The characters use the 'N-word' so freely. Yes, Huey, the ten-year old, uses the word on a daily basis. Yes, Granddad and his friend, Ruckus, use the word to describe every black man on the show. And yes, Dr. King used it in his incredible speech. Some people mayfindit offensive; others will say it's keeping it real. One episode of "The Boondocks" will not only make you laugh, it will make you think.

White." is not only a new show on FX, but a social experiment. Airing on Wednesday nights at 10:00p.m, executive producers R.J Cutler and Ice Cube take viewers on a journey that explores the subtleties of racism in America. "Everybody thinks of a Klan man standing with a shotgun, yelling, 'Keep it white.' Everybody is worried about the guy with the black power, leather jacket on, Afro ... worried about those kinds of people and not really knowing that racism is not just the obvious," said Ice Cube, according to the associated press. The show follows two families, both middle-class and with educated parents, but one family is black and one family is white. Thanks to Hollywood makeup artists, the families change races by air brushing, skin paint, and wigs. Then the families switch roles for the six weeks of produc- tion, immersing themselves in each other's culture. For example, Rose, the 18 year old daughter of the white family, joins a young black poetry group, and Brian, the father of the black family, gets a job as a b artender at a bar that consists of predominately white c ustomers. The family lives in the same household with Photo courtesy of FX networks each other for the whole process, which gives both families an opportunity to discuss their experiences in each other's skin. According to Latimes.com, Oprah Winfrey was quoted as saying that 'Black. White.' was a "groundbreaking documentary series." Some may agree that the show has potential to open dialogue about the issues of race that still persist today, but others may take the show as not such a great idea. "Black. White." has been criticized as being an unscripted reality show rather than a documentary. According to Latimes.com, journalist and cultural critic Nelson George believes the series could potentially aggravate racial tensions, particularly in L.A., rather than leading to more understanding. Tensions have run high at times in the families' household as the black parents do not feel as though the white parents are getting what the experience is trying to show them while the white parents feel at times that the black parents are waiting for them, to say or do something wrong. It seems, so far anyway, that the children are learning the most from the experiment. According to an article by Chip Crews from Washingtonpost.com, "Nick (son of the black family) and Rose (daughter of the white family) suggest that people their age tend to base their opinions of others on the individual rather than on skin color. Unlike their fathers, they're neither smug nor mired in anger, and they're far quicker to learn." Like any controversial topic, the show has come with mixed reviews. Regardless of criticisms, the show is stirring up dialogue, which is a start at accomplishing what the creators set out to do. According to AllHipHop.com, Ice Cube said," 'Black. White.' will force people to challenge themselves and really examine where we stand in terms of race in this country." Amanda Bynes is 'The Man' <f§. » m BY RACHEL CARRIE WANN Pride Staff Writer While the works of William Shakespeare have been presented on the big screen many times over for the young adult and teen audience in recent years, never before has the gender-bending comedy of "Twelfth Night" been given such an innocent yet comedie modern twist. While the tragic "O", and teen comedy "Ten Things I Hate About You" helped introduce a younger audience to some of Shakespeare's finest, those remakes of "Othello" and "Taming of The Shrew" lack the endearing nature of She's The Man. The plot here brings the protagonist, aptly named Viola after "Twelfth Night's" leading lady, to assume the role of her look-a-like brother Sebastian, in order to continue her high school Photos courtesy of Dreamworks soccer career at a new school after her girls' soccer program is cancelled. The resemblance to "Bend It Like Beckham" ends there, and the familiar Mean Girls-esque high school mentality prevails as a complicated love triangle ensues. However, this exceptionally twisted knot of unrequited love hilariously features the beautiful Olivia who finds herself attracted to Sebastian, who really is Viola posing as Sebastian, who has already fallen for the devastatingly attractive Duke (yes, named after Duke Orsino of the original) who loves Olivia... and then we're back to Sebastian, who neither Duke or Olivia knows is really Viola. Phew! Amanda Bynes shines here as both the adorable Viola and the chubby-cheeked Sebastian, playing up her faux masculinity. While not entirely convincing as a boy, the slapstick humor that comes into play whenever genders are swapped is predictable, yet still likeable enough to keep an audience pleasantly amused. Certainly not on<e of the finest films of 2006, "She's The Man" can at least promise a handful of laughs from the lighthearted, if not goofy, humor from Amanda Bynes. This should come as no surprise to those who are familiar with Bynes' comedic beginnings on Nickelodeon. Bynes prevails in her dual roles, captivating almost every scene, and her dorky cuteness practically overshadows the lackluster of her supporting cast of unknowns, enough so as to keep those at least moderately familiar with Shakespeare's original works sufficiently entertained.. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

SIMON Pride Staff Writers Donna Frye San Diego City Council member, former mayoral candidate and political activist Donna Frye has a message for CSUSM students: "Get involved. I would say... not just involving poli- tics, but just involving life in general." Frye came to campus on March 16 to help celebrate Women's History month at the Clark Field House. Dressed in a suit and tennis shoes, Frye set the tone between herself and the audience of students and community members. She began by sharing a personal story about the spousal abuse she endured for a number of years, which she said made her a stronger woman in the long run. Then Frye talked about how her 1988 marriage to professional surfer Skip Frye started her political involvement writing legislation about water quality issues. Frye spoke about being elected to the city council in June 2001 with no intention of furthering her political career. "Becoming an elected official never appealed to me," said Frye. She said that the lack of integrity of the elected officials in San Diego at the time Fulbright scholarship representative visits campus BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer University Police were on hand St. Patrick's Day evening to assist law enforcement agencies from San Marcos, Palomar College and Escondido at the San Marcos Marketplace sobriety checkpoint on San Marcos Boulevard.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, individuals can apply for grants to study or conduct research internationally. According to Director of University Global Affairs Dr. Peter Zwick, there are currently two students from Cal "State San Marcos who have applied to the Fulbright program. Both students have passed the first of three rounds in the selection process. Zwick said that these are the only students from the campus to ever apply to the program that he is aware. Claudino told the students that attended the informational meeting that the Fulbright program is an important opportunity for them. "It really opens doors, and the networks are amazing," said Claudino. He said his mission for coming to the campus was to increase diversity in the Fulbright program and encourage students to apply who are minorities.

"Since the ones around were doing a bad job, I thought I would do a better job," said Frye.

The HE and Zwick are beginning a Development Initiative which would target campuses like Cal State San Marcos who currently are not very involved with the Fulbright program. Zwick will receive professional training about the program, which will enable h im to disseminate information to more students on campus. Claudino also discussed the background of the Fulbright program, and tips on how to apply. The program was started in 1946 by f ormer Sen. J. William Fulbright of A rkansas to enhance the relationships between the U.S. and other countries a fter W WII. Now, in a time when the need for global communication is pertinent, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program is way for students to experience other cultures. The program o ffers locations of study including A frica, Asia and the Western hemisphere. The Fulbright study abroad program is also unique in that it is a binational program. Grants are f unded by the U.S. government and the host country covering travel and study for up to 12 months. Projects vary according to individual's i nterests and may include university coursework, independent library research, special projects in the sciences, or a combination of these aspects.

Sara Long, coordinator for Student Activities at ASI r affled o ff p rizes that included hats, t-shirts and g ift certificates. Student reaction to the St. Patrick's Day event was positive as the c olorful dancers seemed to brighten u p the day for all who attended. "It was appropriate for the day. Good times. It was a great presentation and a good show," said student Brandon Brown. ASI, f rom page 1 "ASI is supposed to b e the student voice," said Marc D eGuzman, who is also r unning for president.

The candidates proposed ways of getting students more involved on campus by t aking interest in both political and social events. Some thought communication between ASI and students was in need o f a makeover. " There is a lack of communication between ASÍ and the students at Cal State San Marcos," said Heidi Doyle, candidate for the College .of A rts and Sciences Representative. All of the candidates addressed student concerns regarding the cost of getting an education. "We need tuition to b e down. We need financial aid to b e up. We need students' rights to b e a priority for our legislators," said Cheyenne Barr, V P of external a ffairs candidate. "Lobby C orp has been working to make sure that budget cuts don't a ffect the tuition here at school, particularly with financial aid," said Jeremy Mills, VP of external a ffairs candidate. CSUSM Athletic Director Steve Nichols also spoke at the event to answer student questions and concerns about the proposed Athletics f ee referendum. " What we are seeking is forty dollars per student, per semester. If we get that, we will be able to build t eams in men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, women's Softball, and men's baseball," said Nichols. "I'm not saying I'm gonna make college cheaper for you . ..I'm saying that this is gonna add value t o the campus."

On Wednesday, March 17, all 21 members and some Sigma Alpha Epsilon alumni set up a table outside the library and sold pizza for two dollars a slice, to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Walk. The MS walk will take place Saturday April 9 and Sunday April 10 at Legoland in Carlsbad. "Last year we donated about $850," said Sigma Alpha Epsilon President Jason Mossuto. "We expect to donate over $1000 this year." "One of the girls in one of the sororities has MS and last year we donated in her name. This year we will be donating in her name again," said Mossuto. Mossuto remarked it didn't take any convincing to get these frat boys onto campus for this cause. "They know that it's for a really good cause and it's really important to our fraternity that we give back to the community and do our philanthropy," said Mossuto, "We stand for 'true gentlemen.'" Mossuto encourages other students to get involved in the fight against MS. "You can donate if you go to the MS website, through team Sigma Alpha Epsilon if you like, and you'll know where your money is going," said Mossuto. More information about the MS Walk can be found at: http:// w ww.kintera.org/faf/home/ default.asp?ievent=72124 for intoxicated drivers. In total, University Police recorded two DUI arrests for the night. No CSUSM students were arrested at the checkpoint. The first arrest came around 9 p.m. when University Police sergeant Marlon Estepa, patrolling near campus, observed a white late model Toyota Tacoma swerving on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Estepa said that while questioning the driver he detected the scent of alcohol and learned that both the driver and passenger were under age. Estepa said he discovered two open beer containers during his visual sweep of the vehicle. University Police sergeants Dan Koehler and Jessie Flores arrived to back up Estepa. Koehler issued the 20-year-old passenger of the vehicle a citation for minor in possession of alcohol. If convicted, he may face a fine and his driver license could be revoked for one year. The driver waited on the curb just in front of his vehicle with his hands in his pockets rocking back and forth. As Flores observed, Estepa furthered the investigation by asking the driver to stand so he could conduct a sobriety test. After completing the test, the driver agreed to blow FRYE, from page 1 business behind closed doors to avoid controversy is cowardly and wrong. Talking about how she boycotted closed council sessions Frye said, "I do not shy away from controversy." Discussing her efforts to change the way government business is conducted, she said that she didn't expect so much support from voters during her 2004 mayoral campaign. "I was almost in tears I was so amazed," said Frye about the overwhelming amount of people who signed a petition qualifying her to run as a write-in candidate. Frye said Mayor Dick Murphy and Ron Roberts, the opposing candidates during the campaign, didn't even contest her participation in the mayoral debates. "They looked like bookends (during the debate) as I stood in the middle. There were Mr. Status and Mr. Quo," said Frye describing the visual of the may- into a breathalyzer. The breathalyzer indicated the driver had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.14 percent which is almost twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent. The driver was handcuffed, placed in the back of a squad car where he later urinated on himself, and his truck was towed and impounded. "We make these stops off of the campus because it can still effect our still our students," said Koehler. "If we overlook it, it grows into a much bigger problem." Koehler says it's important that people under age know the serious risks and consequences associated with drinking and drunk driving. The minor arrested for DUI, for example, will likely receive fines up to $5,000 and not be eligible to drive until the age of 22. There is also a possibility of jail time. The second DUI arrest was made at approximately 10:30 p.m. by University Police officer Courtney Bronson at the sobriety checkpoint. Bronson said she noticed that a male in his 20s driving a red Pontiac Grand Prix smelled of alcohol during his checkpoint inspection. Bronson alerted other officers and they surrounded the vehicle with a special device known as the "Sniffer" flashlight, which can pick up the scent of alcohol. After oral debate. Frye said she lost the election due to the voters forgetting to fill in the corresponding bubble after writing her name on the ballot (Mayor Dick Murphy won). She ended her talk with the current actions being taken in response to the outcome. Lawsuits have been filed on behalf of Frye to count the votes thrown out, but in speaking she was adamant in letting the public know that she isn't personally involved. "Donna Frye hasfiledzero lawsuits (to turn the vote around)," said Frye. Frye opened up the floor by answering a question about her the flashlight indicated the presence of alcohol, Bronson ordered the driver out of the vehicle and a volunteer officer took the driver's place and parked the car. Bronson said that not only was the smell of alcohol present, but the driver's eyes were extremely red, however, the driver's answers to all of Bronson's questions were clear. Bronson opted to proceed with her investigation by conducting a sobriety test. She concluded the test by using a breathalyzer which indicated the driver had a BAC of 0.18 percent, over twice the legal limit. The driver was handcuffed and his car was placed on the back of a truck to later be impounded. "This guy (DUI driver) was just an average good guy like me and now he will suffer like a criminal for a bad choice," said Koehler remarking on how a DUI and the penalties that result can be prevented by drivers being responsible. All law enforcement agencies involved in the night's checkpoint are part of the North County Law Enforcement Traffic Safety Council. The DUI prevention efforts were a result of funding from the state distributed to each agency specifically for enforcing and preventing drunk driving. feelings regarding speaking on college campuses. "I feel at home," said Frye Cal State San Marcos student Karlene Wiegand was excited about Frye's arrival on campus. "She is a woman who doesn't conform to others," said Wiegand adding that she relates to Frye because of her work with water quality issues. "Being a surfer myself, that was very important to me." Palomar College student Rachel Gilstrop shared similar thoughts. "Frye is a strong female figure, and she gives me a sense of feeling more empowered as a woman," said Gilstrop WftflfîTii : ni i&lMuiuJ; nBBnS: « m * ~ * IS § ilflll 1 i !§§!

WEDNESDAY MARCH 23, 5:30PM COMMONS 206 What if I'm ence is going to have to pay attention because there are a lot of underlying meanings," Davis said about his film. Davis, who is an A rts and Technology major, was at one point a p ro-surfer before he began p ursuing his film career. Davis met Matt Forsyth and Neal Lett in CSUSM's a rt department and the trio forged Brokenline Productions. They wanted t o create an independent film company that supports local artists and promotes industry change. Davis said filmmaking "should be about the a rt and the project." Each member of the company brought something unique and vital to the table. They m ade their own studio in which they paid for themselves. Davis w rote and directed the 35-minute short film. Forsyth created their logos, website and designed the sets for the film. Lett directed the cinematography and worked his magic with the camera. From start to finish, the project took about a year to come to f ruition. Davis wrote the screenplay in three months. The entire film was shot in f our days, and the final editing took five months to complete. All t hree are current students with 18 or more units who put in over 300 hours to put this film together.

Depending on the performance of each of the male surfers at tryouts, they were put on either the A team or the B team. CSUSM's surf team has been around for several seasons now. The team is supported by some of the surfer's family members and also many private sponsors. Tryouts for the 2005-2006 season will be held sometime in September. The team is always looking for new recruits, as each year a few key surfers are lost after graduation. "This whole thing is pretty much for f un and I encourage anyone with the least bit of competitive drive to come out, tryout and support us," Cannon. For more information regarding the team, tryouts, and the upcoming Nationals competition contact Jeremy Cannon at canno010@csusm.edu. It's March, and CSUSM's surf team is getting ready to make some waves this year at Nationals. A fter taking fourth place at Nationals last June, the men's A-team is hoping to go back and maintain their top five status. According to surf team captain Jeremy Cannon, this season didn't go as smoothly as they would have hoped with many competitions being delayed and even a few being cancelled altogether. Jeremy explained that they had a lot of talent on their teams this year, but lacked the competition experience. For the 2004-2005 season, CSUSM had a large enough turnout at tryouts to put together three teams. The teams were broken down into two men's surfing teams and one special team.

A fter spending the semester worrying about papers and exams, spring break is the t ime to take a breather and go out with your f riends. Of course, you always say y ou'll spend some time studying and getting a head start on last-minute school projects, but let's f ace it, during spring break, most people j ust want to have f un. So grab your f riends, I.D. and designated driver, and get ready to p arty—you deserve it! Whether you plan to spend t he day lounging in the sand ™ or the night dancing on the tables at a club, the most important thing to remember when going out with f riends is to pick a designated driver beforehand. Play rock-paper-scissors, flip a coin, draw straws, or p ull a name f rom a h at It doesn't m atter how you pick one, j ust pick one. Ify ou are the designated driver, it doesn't mean you can't have a good time. Take the responsibility seriously. You don't have t o b e d runk to have a good time. You can always amuse yourself by watching your d runken f riends make fools out of themselves, while you, the Saintly Sober One, take pictures with your digital camera. The best p art is that you and back, you can get into a celebratory mood before you've even left the house! But don't overdo it. There's nothing sexy about throwing u p in the bathroom of your favorite bar while your best f riend holds your hair back and your designated driver takes pictures. The best p art about going out to bars or nightclubs, par™ ticularly if you're female, is getting, f ree drinks. Sorry, boys, but girls always get f ree drinks, especially if they know the bartender. So, next time you're at your favorite pub, chat u p the guy behind the counter. If he knows you, h e'll b e more likely to comp your d rinks.

With spring break quickly approaching, many students vow to stay at home and study while their friends booze it up in Cancun and Day tona Beach. While hitting the books may seem like a dreadful way to spend your vacation, returning to school prepared and ahead of the game sure does have its perks. So, this spring break, consider drowning yourself in your studies instead of drowning yourself in a Mai Tai on the beautiful, enticing beaches of paradise. Replace that muscular, suntanned cabana boy with that exhaustingly wordy Dickens' novel that has been smashed, unopened, at the bottom of your backpack all semester. Don't hit the beach—hit the books! When your friends come back from vacation, sure they'll have a suntan, some wild stories, and a few more notches in their belts, but they'll also have a ton of work to catch up on. With only five more weeks of school remaining, they will be stressed, sleep deprived, and worn out. Won't it be nice to smile, take a deep breath, and feel in control of your academic destiny? Resist the temptation to party right now and remember that "good things come to those who wait." Summer is just around the corner, and the day you ace that last final, you'll be "livin' la vida loca." It is important to reward yourself for a j ob well done, so don't forget to give yourself treats along the way. For every hour you spend typing that 10 page paper on the mating rituals of West A frican bees, reward yourself with 15 minutes of laying out in the sunshine. If you have fast metabolism, eat one piece of your favorite candy every time you read five pages of that book you've been ignoring all semester. If you don't have the metabolism of an 11year-old boy, don't try this one at home. Remember that you are not alone. There are plenty of other students just like you who plan to use their spring break as a time to both catch up and get ahead. Find out if any of these self-loathing individuals would like to form study groups with you. Invite them over for a movie night so that you guys can watch the six hour movie version of "Bleak House." Your teacher didn't really expect you to read that novel anyway. If you feel the need to get out of your house, take your lap top over to your nearest coffee shop and study there. Suck down one of those overpriced, frothy, creamy concoctions and enjoy the buzz. For those of you that don't live at home, make a trip to your parents' house and study there. They'll be glad to know that their money isn't being wasted on your education and reward you with yummy home cooked meals and a pat on the back for all of your hard work. In the wise words of Aristotle, "It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way." You may feel like you are giving up well-earned party time by studying over the break, but when you look back on the semester, you will be proud of the results of your hard work and dedication. That said—what are you waiting for? Get to work! �8 Tuesday, March 22, 2Ö05 OPINION THE PRIDE Hey! Quit violating MySpace Pride staffer relates a tale of horror and deceit with the popular Internet friend network BY HEATHER ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer I am taking this opportunity to share my experience to warn all of you that although you hear many success stories due to meeting people online, there are also many stories of situations going dreadfully wrong. Take my word for it when I say this cliché line: "it can happen to you." As I browsed over the faces of many others like myself that had been sucked into this myspace craze I came across one face that seemed to catch my eye. I clicked on the picture and this lead me to his page where I was able to read small blurbs about his life, interests, and whatever else he felt inclined to tell others via the Internet. Wow! A cute surfer boy from San Diego that shared many common interests! I went ahead and sent him a message, not knowing in the slightest what I had just gotten myself into. I have never been the type to even consider meeting anyone from online, but the more I kept up conversation with this mysterious surfer boy, Jake* ('"indicates names have been changed), slowly my thoughts began to change. Our emails through our myspace accounts lead to talking over the wonderful world of AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). As much as I hated to admit it at first, there was a definite "spark" so to speak between Jake and myself. The more we talked, the more we realized that we truly did enjoy each others company. Our late night chats went on for days and eventually weeks, which only increased my interest in meeting this guy that now knew so much about me. Some of my friends were concerned by the fact that I had not even spoken to Jake over the phone, this didn't seem all that odd to me. I mean, the whole idea of meeting people online was new to me anyway! When Jake told me that he wasn't a phone person, I j ust went along with it and we planned a weekend where we would meet up in person. Shortly a fter our plan to meet was set, strange things started to occur. It began with phone calls to my work f rom a girl that kept asking my co-workers when I was working next, but she would never leave a message or a name. I found this odd seeing as though I had never given out my work number. Then only a few days later I began receiving calls to my apartment phone. I was getting messages on my answering machine from a girl that would call and repeat my name over and over. I was me that Sara and Jake had dated for years slightly concerned about this, and knew (as I already knew) but the kicker was that that these calls were not coming f rom they had never met! The two of them had anyone I knew. I told Jake about the calls "online dated" for years, and had never and he immediately traced them to his actually met in person. Jake had been ex-girlfriend, Sara*. He said it sounded messing with Sara for years, leading her exactly like something she would do, to believe they were in love and that when and that she had done it in the past. He the right time came along they would meet claimed she was jealous, and just trying to up, but Sara had gotten to the point where get under my skin. Well, it was working. she wasn't even sure if Jake really existed. I couldfi't believe that Sara had actuI was Sara's only hope in finding an ally tracked me answer to her down and got a " " " many years of hold of my work confusion.

I talked Sara. to Jake and all Sarah immehe could tell me diately called me was that Sara was a fter I hung up crazy, and that he couldn't control her. with her best friend. She then began to Now, only a few days before Jake and I enlighten me on a whole other twist to this had planned to meet, another call came to already crazy story. She said that due to my apartment. This time the girl on the the fact that I hadn't met Jake or talked to other end was actually trying to get infor- him on the phoney she was now convinced mation from me. By this time the phone that Jake was not a real person and on top calls had become borderline harassment of that she was convinced that the person and I had no intentions of giving this girl posing as Jake was in reality a girl named any of my time. As it turned out, all she Nikki*. was trying to find out was if Jake and I had I sat and listened in complete shock actually met.

She was Sara's Sara had met a best friend and had been for guy online and years. She told found out a few months later that it turned out to be this girl Nikki posing as him. Nikki admitted this to Sara, and told her she felt horrible for letting the situation go on as long | as it did. For some reason, Sara felt bad for Nikki and ended up befriending her. Not long a fter the two of them "/ learned the hard way that you certainly must be more cautious than you think with people you come in contact with over the Internet You never really know just who lies behind the screen..." became friends, Sara went online and came across another guy that caught her interest. This time it was Jake. Due to the fact that Sara was now friends with Nikki, the idea that this new guy might be j ust another figment of Nikki's imagination never even crossed Sara's mind. Sara confided in Nikki about her and Jake's online relationship. She explained to me that as time went on, she became more and more skeptical of Nikki, and even confronted her a few times about the possibility of her being Jake. Nikki always denied this and Jake always had a way of drawing Sara back to him. Therefore, the relationship continued .up until about four months ago when Jake once again failed to meet up with Sara. Sara then had an overwhelming gut feeling that Jake truly was Nikki, and that she had done this to her again. She stopped all conversations with Nikki and Jake for her own sanity and decided she should see a therapist. Only recently, when Sara happened to fall back in touch with Jake through myspace did she begin to have second thoughts about ridding him from her life. When she saw that Jake had now been talking with a new girl through myspace, this feeing myself, the idea that maybe Jake was a real person was almost too much for her to handle. Sara had assumed from conversations with Jake that he and I had met up. It was then her goal to get a hold of me and find out if it was true. Being the self proclaimed "professional detective" that she was, she tracked down my phone number and told me she knew my address as well. She said that was what years of trying to find out if Jake existed had done to her. She knew all the tricks. A bit frightened by the whole situation, I gave her as much information about Jake and me as possible. I informed her of how we had not even talked on the phone and had planned on meeting up, but hadn't yet. She thanked me for helping her get to the bottom of things, and told me that she knew for a fact at this point that indeed this was Nikki posing as Jake once again. Apparently Nikki got her kicks out of living a life through these boys of her imagination and preying on girls like us. Sick and twisted, I know. I immediately went to Jake and told him that I would no longer be in contact with him. I tried to cut the ties as calmly as possible, but things did not go as planned, Jake became incredibly upset that I trusted his "crazy ex-girlfriend" over him. I told him that if he wanted to clear things up then all he needed to do was call me and prove to me I was wrong. He refused to call, therefore, f urther proving everything was true in my mind. I then blocked him online and a fter doing so, my phone began to blow up with text message a fter text message f rom his AIM name. The text messages became increasingly obscene, and wouldn't stop. I realized I was going to have to change my cell number in order to get rid of Jake once and for all and this is exactly what I did. A fter changing my cell number I also went ahead and changed my apartment number and made it unlisted as a f urther precaution. The more I thought about the situation, and the fact that I had been in contact with a girl the entire time, the more I almost felt like I had been brainwashed, and somewhat violated. Thinking back over some of the conversations we had, it made me sick....I need not say more. Ironically, when I went on myspace the following day Jake's page was mysteriously gone. I guess I learned the hard way that you certainly must be more cautious than you think with people you come in contact with over the Internet.

CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATION CORRECTIONS Vol. XIII No.8 In the article "CSUSM farfromNCAA," by Patrick B. Long and edited by Elizabeth Baldwin, the IRA funds for the Athletic Department was incorrect. The annual IRA funds for Athletics are $12,000 - $31,000. Also, the article suggests that the NAIA is a community college league, which it is not. In the article, "The Pride responds to recent criticism," by Phoenix Lindgren, states, "President Haynes brought Steve Nichols to campus for the sole purpose of creating more sports teams at CSUSM." This is incorrect; Steve Nichols has been at CSUSM since 1995. CLARIFICATION The opinions expressed by Phoenix Lindgren in the above mentioned article were proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing the trope of hyperbole; her opinions were not meant to be interpreted literally.

MARCH Joan Allen plays Terry Wolfmeyer, a neurotic, alcoholic, single mother to four beautiful and independent daughters. Terry is single because her husband disappears mysteriously one day> so of course she assumes he left her and their family for his secretary. She doesn't bother trying to look for him or contact him, or if she does, the movie never shows us. Everyone behaves as if this is perfectly normal and they adjust pretty well to their new life without dad. Even when he fails to show up at important family events, like the eldest daughter's graduation and wedding, the girls seem fine. Terry quickly hooks up with her equally alcoholic neighbor, Denny (Kevin Costner, in yet another baseball-themed role), a washed-up, former baseball player turned radio DJ, and together they help each other heal from the tough breaks life has given them. Thç movie is semi-narrated by Popeye (Evan Rachel Wood), the youngest daughter, through a film that she is making on her computer. The audience is never told why she's making the film or, for that matter, why she's nicknamed Popeye. These are just a few of many unanswered questions in the movie. The problem with "The Upside of Anger" is that it doesn't know what kind of a movie it wants to be and it tries too hard to be both comedy and drama. The acting is decent, particularly Joan Allen's icy portrayal of the stunned matriarch, but the only thing that resonates after you've left thé theater are all the questions that are left unanswered. y JOHNNY V E VODKA LOVES FLAVORED VODKA LAUNCH PARTY Posted Bar 8pm-11pm for Johnny Loves Flavored Vodka Products Go Global!

SIMON Pride Staff Writer When asked to evaluate four of the top "men's magazines" I thought for a moment-maybe half--that they might be related to sports or getting rich. Instant relief, then, when they all turned out to be about masturbation. Truly, what better companions for the guy who can't afford the monetary or emotional cost of the nearest beach-flesh-fest? We begin at the ' top' with "Maxim" and, as usual, a cover model most have already seen on TV enough to construct a fantasy f rom. This type of skin-mag is perfect for people who don't want to be caught with ' porn' yet can't bring themselves to say "the articles." The ads range f rom cars to the stuffyou grimace at in those weird European things lounging in the 'barbershop.' As for genuine variety, though, this isn't for anyone who still refuses to believe that good sex requires an attention span. The girls are all photographed with the same lights arid the articles are mostly lists. Conclusion: Pick up, flip through, flick off, next. The next step in our descent brings us to what "Maxim" could never be, even with real nudity. Of course, I use the term ' real' the way I use women: not at all, hardly. Playboy has received a lot of criticism lately for favoring excesses of photo and cosmetic manipulation. Personally,* if she's going to look like a j cartoon she may as J well be a cartoon, but at least Playboy still helps artists replace rather than chase their models. Even without the i imagination for j icons, there's enough variation to pick a favorite, thus a more lasting distraction. As a bonus, the respectable article quality might even give you some kind of fetish for communication. Now "Penthouse" is supposed to be a dirtier type of "Playboy," so this may be a good time for our modernminded female readers to switch f rom 'laugh at the boys' to 'spit on the boys' mode. But alas, you'll all be sigh and dry when you realize it's nearly identical, save for a certain barely subtle emphasis on, well, vagina. Ironically enough, I'd swear that Penthouse actually has fewer nude photos, if more nude advertisements, and j ust as many breaks for self-promotion. I enjoyed "The People vs. Larry Flynt," I have only faint memories of skimming "Hustler," but it's all coming back now. This, my fellow Americans, is smutty stuff, essentially porno still shots. Whatever your opinion of that, you'll find hilariously depraved cartoons and strikingly unreserved political critiques. To feminists who hate smut: rejoice, for "Hustler" hates Bush too. That joke would be highbrow in these pages, but f ar fewer ads and more genuine creativity seems like a more 'sophisticated' buy to me. BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Want to lower your self-esteem in 5.6 seconds? Just pick up one of these glossy magazines at your local supermarket check-out counter. First up is Cosmopolitan, (referred to as The Bible by Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blond") which actually should be illegal reading material. The April 2005 issue tackles such serious subjects as "Sex Treats for Him" and "What His Start-the-Day Ritual Reveals about Him." Wow. I never knew that my value as a woman in a relationship rests upon the knowledge that men like to have their balls messaged during, not after, fellatio. Next on the list to improve your worth to society is Glamour. The feature article about how to tell if you're "Girl Hot" or "Guy Hot," which juxtaposes Nicole Kidman (girl hot) to Angelina Jolie (guy hot) as the two different types of women in the world. Unfortunately I am neither. Hmmm, could I be an alien? However, Glamour is good pick for the woman that wants to save some cash. Practically every other page is an advertiseH ment with a coupon H to cut out. Glamour jm also features top name H designer fashions W (the clothes nobody m can afford) along with where to purchase the knock-off. The fashion magazine, f Elle, is a bit better than the previously mentioned self-esteem blockers. There are no lame advice columns that make you feel like a moron. If beauitffcVRA tifid models are what you v aBnR want to look at, this is the rag for you. Elle is an endless series of advertisements with beautiful people. Whoa, what's that? 'Small breasts are in this season." Never mind, Elle sucks too. Hallelujah! God bless Bitch. Bitch—the magazine defines itself as the feminist response to pop culture—is a shining light at the end of the magazine rack. The magazine focuses on women's issues that are interesting and educational. No models, no fashion statements, no make-up tips—just articles about women, for women. The winter 2005 issue answers the neverasked-but-always-wondered question to the popular reality show, "Survivor;" what do the women do when they have their period? Answer: tampons are provided. The article, "The Lack of Cultural Language about Women in Prison," reveals the misrepresentation of women by the mass media. Unlike the advertisements in Elle, Cosmopolitan and Glamour, Bitch magazine features advertisements about stuff I do care about: alternative menstrual products. Sea Sponge tampons? Good for the environment and good for me. I highly recommend Bitch as your reading choice. Unfortunately, it is only published quarterly, but well worth the wait. r � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), provides about $106,000 to support the preschool's proposed $324,000 annual budget, according to Honey Folk, ASI executive president and CEO. Each CSUSM student pays $50 per semester to ASI. Lura Poggi, ASI executive director, said that currently 13 percent of the $50 student fee pays for the Early Learning Center and that ASI revenues might fall between 10 to 12 percent next year with the budget cuts that are currently taking place.

Photo Illustration by Sarah Carlin /The Pride Blendin ati imagination, dungeon masters, fantasy Photo by Kyle Otto /The Pride By KYLE OTTO Pride StaffWriter Deep in the heart of the chaotic medieval age are the tales forged of the dungeon master, mythic gods, powerful arcane magic, valiant knight lords, radiant princesses and shadowy secrets of the stealthy assassin lurking in the black of night outside a raucous tavern. The dungeon master, ruler of his domain and keeper of Dungeons & Dragons, is the first realm among the legacy of the mystical tradition of roleplaying games. Its truth, however, need not be shrouded in mystery, for the excitement of its adventure, the intrigue of its legends, lie in the imagination, the wondrous gift of human nature, to be wielded by each, if one should dare. Here, at CSUSM, dwells a subculture of roleplayers, each member embarking on a boundless journey of danger and glory amid the vast worlds of the mind. The dungeon master The essence of the role-playing game is found in the heart and mind of any player who joins the "campaign," an ongoing story created and mediated by the Dungeon Master (DM), or game master (GM). The DM acts as the characters in the realm he has created, narrating the events that set the stage for player interaction. As the DM tells the story, player characters (PCs) are free to interact with their imaginary environment and its inhabitants as they choose, confined only by their own characters' abilities. Players adopt the roles of characters such as warriors, wizards, rogues and druids, assigning them personal traits such as strength and intelligence, equipping them with weapons, armor, spellbooks, lockpicks, etc., and breath life into them with backgrounds and personalities, to be played accordingly. Role-players use extensive rulebooks that inform DM's and players as to how their game should be run, various multifaceted dice that arbitrate the uncertainties of game experiences, "character sheets" that record the statistics of their characters and sometimes maps of the lands they explore. No board, no pieces, no start orfinish,no winners or losers inspire the role-playing universe, only the thrill of evolving into the hero you have always dreamed you could become. Players gather in pizza parlors, game shops or living rooms to experience the pinnacle of their creativity. For avid Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) enthusiast Chuck Buchwald, it is an experience of total immersion. A student teacher in CSUSM's graduate mathematics program, Buchwald and his gaming companion and master's colleague, Tim Eddo, apply their mathematical expertise, employing formulas to recreate the quantitative game mechanics. "We're math dorks," said Buchwald, attesting to his zeal for the potential mathematical complexity of D&D. Buchwald and his group of "adventurers," tread their treacherous underworld of "The Dungeon," a garage adorned with black and grey sheets mimicking dungeon walls, murals, mounted swords and armor, and a dragon water fountain that breathes See GAMERS, page 4 �Time to Vote Editorial Staff Staff Writers Editors-in-Chief Natalie Barham Chad Spinks Danielle Boldt Kevin Brabec Lydia Crescioni Brett Davis Chelsea George Nicole Sullivan Jennifer Jones Eric Merc ado Roger Naranjo Kyle Otto David Werth Laura Whitaker Karen Graham Ashley Renzy Jason Robbins Eileen Roque Loriann Samano Joshua Sandoval Allison Sansbury Kim Schlatter Zelynda Smith John Stuart Mark Ferrera Michelle Velarde Elizabeth Baldwin Jonathan Rodley D esigni Photo Editor Doug Lasater News Editor Tom Pilngsten Features Editor Sarah Carlin A&E Editor Melissa Rodriguez Ombudsman Mike Dolan Business Manager Danika Qulnones Online Editor Kimberiy Oliver Distribution Adrian Cundiff Adviser Jenifer Woodring By ERIC MERCADO Pride StaffWriter SWIM The ASI election polls will open at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, March 22 and will close at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 25.

Four of seven planned CSSA/CSSC presenters were afforded voice before the board, including Tylor Middlestadt of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (SLO), Daniel Scheppler of Cal State Fullerton, Roper, and Pablo Pastor of Cal Poly, SLO. Remaining unheard CSSA/CSSC members included Rachel Aljilani of Cal Poly, SLO, Zachary Mermel of Humboldt State University, and Shakti Maisen of Cal State Northridge. The CSSA organizes around students' needs and interests throughout the CSU, and has worked on sustainability as a policy agenda item over the past three years. The CSSC, an organization created by UC students in 2003, offering admittance to CSU students in February 2004, successfully lobbied UC Regents to adopt a "strong sustainability policy" in 2003. Roper presented his policy as lone dissenter and student representative member of the CSU Committee for the Development of Sustainability Design Policy (CDSDP), whose overseer, Asst. Vice Chancellor Vi San Juan recently presented the committees' policy before the Board of Trustees. In his February Environmental Affairs Officer Report, Roper highlighted what he identified as weaknesses in the CDSDP's Feb. 6 resolution, including: No commitment to any specific percent of renewable energy to be used in the future. No commitment to any building efficiency/sustainability standards. In a March 18 press release, Roper stated goals on behalf of the CSSC's "Renew CSU" campaign, including: Clean energy: universities should make a commitment to obtain at least 25 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2014 and 50 percent by 2024. Green buildings: renovated and newly constructed buildings should be designed using green building guidelines developed by the U.S. Green Buildings Council (USGBC). Energy efficiency: energy use per student should be reduced by 20 percent by 2014 and 40 percent by 2024. Over a 60-year life cycle, The USGBC's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver sustainable buildings would cost half as much to design, construct, operate, and maintain as a conventional structure, according to CSSC figures. Aljilani cited that over 140 LEED buildings exist in California as of August 2003. "Green buildings are 25-30 percent more energy efficient," she said. Roper estimated that a long-term sustainability policy would eventually save the universities hundreds of millions of dollars, saying, "Especially in light of current budget cuts - what better time for students to be active and try to save us money?" hour c all ( 7 6 0 ) 7 4 4 - S W l M • . -> AT * from page 1 INSTRUCTORS!!! i $10,tì^$16.0®Ìper students simply ne6d to use their smart W^b authorization c ^ e to access the vote online.

"I think that is because ASI has always been aware that to meet their needs, they needed to have a daycare center," Barker said. "Currently 22 out of the 25 CSU schools have daycare," Barker added, "This is because those schools have ASI members who are in tune with the importance of meeting basic needs for their students." Parents that spoke on Friday were students at CSUSM who concluded that without the ELC they would have to give up their education due to the lack of daycare. One parent, Sabrina Wistain, said that she only has four classes left, which makes next semester her last. If ASI decides to close down the ELC she will have to quit before her last semester. "There is no other childcare that I trust," Wistain said. "Do I quit my education after coming this far? To give up a career that will provide a good future for my child." Another parent, Christine Focosi-Mckelvey, went line by line through ASI's cost of items budget. "I noticed that only two items have gone up (in price), since 1998, while all other items have gone down," Christine said. Folk explained that the problem is not that prices per item are going up, but rather, that "revenue is drastically dropping." In addition that $112,000 of cuts has already been made and that with all of the cuts, including cutting all food costs for the ELC, there is still a deficit of $57,000. ASI is currently working to get grants to build a new early learning center that would be affiliated with the College of Education. Which, Poggi says would still not be able to open until at least 2007. To seek more options, Poggi is negotiating with an organization who may decide to help out and run the ELC. Poggi explained that they seemed interested and that they were scheduled to tour ELC later that day to talk in more detail about taking over the preschool. Questions were brought up as to whether or not the ELC would keep their staff, and if the program would stay the same or change. Poggi said that she would need more information before having the answers to those questions. Before voting unanimously to table the issue of ELC to a later date, ASI board members promised the parents another chance to have a meeting solely on the sub- ject of ELC before making a decision. Folk explained that this date will be discussed by ASI and will be available 72 hours before the scheduled meeting. The Early Learning Center is one of the few options for childcare in the area surrounding CSUSM. According to a handout supplied by ASI, the ELC charges CSUSM students $23 per day for full-time care and $16 per day for part-time care. Faculty, staff and community members pay $30 per day for full-time care and $20 per day for part-time care. If ELC is closed the nearest childcare facility is Discovery Isle, which is located behind Ralph's shopping center across from campus. A representative from Discovery Isle said childcare at Discover Isle is on a fulltime attendance basis, meeting a minimum of 5.5 hours per day. They accept children between the ages of 6 weeks to first grade and charge $686 per month with a 10 percent discount for a second child.

GAMERS such as fighters and magic users, to be cast into an established environment, conquering foes in order to complete quests. Michael Nguyen, computer science major, and Chris Miranda, biochemistry major, play Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, in which they travel from their home village, which they named "CSUSM," to a multitude of others, protecting them from "The Mist," which mysteriously threatens them. Nguyen plays in some online groups and with Lounge Krew members regularly. "I notice if I don't play games, I kind of do badly in school, with nothing to relieve stress," Nguyen said. A small society of sorts, LK is a group of about 50 friends, each bearing a "Krew name," such as "Profe," Erik Sager, psychology sophomore, "SCM," Nguyen, and Dr. K. One member, "Beau," freestyle raps a routine incorporating all 54 "official" LK names, representing on karaoke days featured in the lounge, provided by ASI. On a near-daily basis, one of the Krew brings in a game system of some kind, such as the Playstation 2, Gamecube, or X-Box. The Lounge Krew said they no longer take advantage of the outdated arcades in the lounge, as one LK member, who preferred to remain anonymous, asked, "Why? We've got the games that we wish they had, that we want to play. If they had the right video games, they'd make money." LKisoutsiderinclusive,however communal their membership may be. "Everybody's accepted in here, cause we're all different and crazy," said the same student. "It's kind of like a fraternity or sorority, where you get to meet people.

Well, ESPN had the vision. ESPN annually broadcasts the world series of poker which showed last years champion winning a pot of over $2.5 million. TV stations take you into the game by allowing you to see everyone's cards and by having commentators call the play by play on the action. Recently Bravo hosted a celebrity tournament called "no limit Texas hold'em poker tournament" that had participants such as Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Coolio, and eventual champion Nicole Sullivan. Each contestant was playing for charity which resulted in winners taking home a share of the $250,000 pot. To capitalize on the recent craze of poker, Bravo will host another celebrity hold'em tourney later in the year. Anyone, even celebrities, can learn to play poker well. What most people do not realize is that poker is actually a game of skill and not just complete luck. Professional poker players have cashed in on their success by writing books such as "The Theory of Poker" and "Super System." Those books can give some insight on what to do in certain situations of poker games, rather than just going with gut feelings. The interest in poker on TV is questionable to many people because many just see it as playing cards. However, watching or playing poker is more like reality TV than "survivor" or "the real world." The human element is an enjoyable part of the game. In poker, there is lying, deceiving, slipups, risks, rewards, and hope; all of which are a huge part of everyday life. Every poker player experiences those words while playing poker and it is quite exciting to see what happens next. So, if you are just looking for something to do that is entertaining or if you are looking to make some extra money just shuffle up and deal.

Programs like Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) depend on that money to keep running. With the lack of cash, ASI had to make cuts to their $1.2 million budget. Even after ASI's board members made cuts, their budget was still over by $350,000. Their solution: cut funding to the Early Learning Center (ELC), where 55 families send their children every week. At the ELC young children, ages two to six, learn the values of love, compassion, and etiquette. The Early Learning Center is cheaper than most preschools, and more flexible with schedules. The ELC also provides opportunities for education students with valuable work experience. Students and teachers both depend on the Early Learning Center. And the ELC depends on Cal State students to help them with funding. Of the $324,000 it will cost to run the ELC next year, students would pay about $106,374. the 54 per semester That equals out to about 6.4 percent of their $50 student fee, or about $6.75 per semester. To keep the ELC alive next semester it would take another $3.75 a semester per student. That's a cheap price to help raise more than 55 children. It is a matter of weighing the options setting our priorities, and making decisions. ASI makes those decisions. Losing the ELC should not be an option. The issue of the ELC is a mirror of what's happening in the Cal State system. the shutdown of Educational Opportunity Programs. ASI vehemently protested against this. Now it's their turn. With the vitality of the Early Learning Center in their hold, will they follow the governor and just cut it, or will they accept their responsibility to provide for their students? ASI needs tofinda way to keep the Early Learning Center alive. Hold a special election for a $4 fee referendum. Rom the pump, or from the utter? By JASON ROBBINS Pride StaffWriter For $2.17 per gallon you should be able to swim in the gasoline before it spews into your pollution-monster on wheels. Butterfly stroke or no, that painful number represents the average price of gas in North County as reported by the North County Times. An initial reaction to this situation may be to wonder why prices are so high. Through a calm investigation of the Internet, I uncovered three possible factors: A rising cost of crude oil, uncertainty about crises in the Middle East and Venezuela, and the fact that an unusual amount of oil B EER N UTS refineries have been shutdown for repair. Sounds good to me. But unfortunately, it probably doesn't matter how legitimate the explanation for high gas prices sounds; for we just have to keep on pumping. Right? So instead of grieving over high prices, I wish compare gasoline to milk. More specifically I want to determine which product is the more cost-efficient fuel. Both goods are primarily sold by the gallon, and lately, both hover around the same price. But which one prevails in a cost/benefit analysis? Let'sfindout. A North County buyer can purchase one gallon of gasoline for an average price of $2.17. Now let's select an average car to fuel up. I think a 2000 Honda Civic is suitable. Honda reports that this model gets 38 miles per gallon. A pride Photo Illustration by Jon Rodley¡The Pride Running on a gallon of milk or driving on a gallon of gas; a mathematical examination reveals which of the two is the most fuel-efficient. simple mathematical computation reveals that for every $2.17 we spend on gas, we get to travel 38 miles. Not bad.4 A North County buyer can purchase a gallon of milk for about $3.50. The label on back of a one-gallon milk container (one percent milk) reveals that there are 120 calories in each serving. Since a gallon-sized container contains 16 servings, drinking a gallon of this type of milk would dump a total of 1920 calories into your body. Now let's select an average person to fuel up with milk. According to an online Activity Calorie Calculator, a 150-pound person running 6 MPH (10 minute mile) will burn 720 calories in one hour. Thus one gallon of milk (1920 calories) would enable this person to run at a positive-calorie count for about 2 and % hours. During this amount of time, our average person (running 6MPH) would travel 16 miles. These calculations mean that for every $3.50 we spend on a gallon of milk, we get nearly 16 miles out of our hypothetical person. Luckily we do not need to perform any more mathematical computations to conclude which product is the more cost-efficient fuel. A gallon of gasoline is cheaper than milk and it enables us to travel further. I suggest reminding yourself of this comparative advantage before cringing at the pump. The results decree that gasoline deserves our unconditional support. It is so affirmed. By: Chad TWO SAM MARCOS LOCATIONS CLOSE TO CAMPUS! fcfe—_ 1 Sim» 985 "A V» ¥ 304 W. Mission Rd.

However* a student refused a copy of the paper based on the observation, in her own words, that Hie Pride is "too slanted/' This made me think. If the definition of the word "slanted" is intending to affiliate us with a certain political distinction, then, I think, The Pride is not "slanted/* I feel we could remove any doubt by engaging in a more in depth reporting style. For example, if we are reporting a storywith any political overtones, then the reporter must interview both sides of the issue: a simple task considering such groups as the Progressive Activist Network and the College Republicans are both on campus and both represent the contrasting sides of most political issues. Something as simple as that would balance any perceived slant in our political coverage. There is, however, another component here that may be mis- interpreted by some. That is the as journalists.

I've been waiting very patiently the past few weeks to see the information posted and cannot believe that the information is not posted yet. Granted that there isn't any opposition for the board positions, but don't you think it is adding insult to injury by not having the information up at this point? I would really appreciate it if you could get that information up ASAP. It just doesn't make any sense otherwise. Also, I'd like to address the reason why this week's issue of The Pride did not contain the candidate's campaign statements. Again, adding insult to injury, it merely contains an article that talks about the elections being uncontested. This surely will only exacerbate the likelihood of a low voter turnout. I apologize if I seem a little harsh here. But I surely don't think I'm out of line in bringing this issues to light. ASI still needs to at least run this election and get all the information out to the students. I hope that we can at least reach out to as many students as possible in the coming week. Please let me know when and if you'll be doing anything further, as I hope that the elections committee will take some initiative. cans only send three of ours to mourn with them.

Meanwhile the human sense of sight is inadequate; seven eyes may be enough to watch everything that is going on through the various levels of the stage. There are flying people being lowered down from the sky, others popping up from under the stage, a whole circus act happening on front stage, and lots of background acts happening in various levels in the back of the stage on huge 15-20 feet steel poles, as others are dancing in cat walks above your head. The sense of touch is also overwhelmed, experiencing another level of ecstasy as bodies shake with the vibration of the simultaneous claps of the crowd. The audience sat speechless, yet involved, in awe at the premier show of Cirque du Soleil this last Thursday at the Qualcomm Stadium. The show, entitled "Varekai" began its run there Mar. 18 and will continue until Apr. 4. The story of "Varekai" takes place deep within a forest where an extraordinary world exists. A world called Varekai. In Roman the word "Varekai" means "whatever" and this show lives up to that meaning. Anything can happen, whatever and whenever, things beyond wildest imagination occur, in this mesmerizing world of Varekai. The story begins with a lizard moving to the sounds of a chime. Other mystical creatures slowly begin coming out, including a cave man character that is always trying to invent things. Within a few moments of setting the scene, the music changes, and a solitary angel falls from the sky landing softly in the forest of these fantastical creatures. The angel is inspected by the creatures who consider A crobats f rom all o ver t he w orld a maze a udiences w ith t heir g race a nd a gility.

He is lifted into the air wrapped in a net, and begins his acrobatic act in mid-air with the net as his partner. There is also a lady creature, with whom the angel falls in love, as he tries to adjust to this new life in the world of Varekai. Both the angel and the creature have an attraction and curiosity about one another but there are obstacles which will not let them be together. The next several acts that follow are both amazing and unbelievable. There is never a dull moment as people are dancing all around in extravagant costumes with intrinsic make-up detail. Performers are catapulted from one another's legs; they place themselves in strange and uncomfortable positions on top of one another; they swing from the sky either solo or with partners; they fall into holes on stage; they bal- ance themselves on canes; they juggle up to eight different sized items at a time. The female creature turns into a human as she is lowered from the sky and does a routine both in a hoop in the sky and on hand-balancing canes on the stage. She is the most capable contortionist in the show. The audience was in awe, as she made beautiful, mesmerizing art with her body. Finally the lovers are united as king and queen while the final act of "Russian Swings" takes place. There are men swinging from giant swings, being catapulted onto huge white sheets where they land on the shoulders of another man, on one leg or arm. Their costumes are bright red and orange and the music is very upbeat and loud. The audience gets really into the show as little red pieces of paper fly down throughout the entire audience.

CSUSM leads this year's competition, which finishes on March 27, since week one, according to Carl Hanson, an Administrative Analyst at CSUSM. "We're doing well/' said Hanson, coordinator for the recycling campaign. "We started out in the lead and the lead has shrunk a little bit but were still up by good seven, seven and a half points, and we're hopeful that we'll continue to do well enough to come in ahead." -^ , V* Íííi&.í « sBllliillliiil llSllllllii II* t Photo by James Seabring The results of the competition are announced in mid-April, once all the participants have sent in their data, according to recyclemania.org. Universities and colleges compete against each other over a 10-week period to see which has the best recycling program. RecycleMania ranks participants according to which category they entef. These categories include most recyclables per capita, the highest amount of recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita, Image courtesy of CSUSM.edu and who has achieved the highest recycling rate. For more information about the event go to www. recyclemania.org. CSUSM enters the highest recycle rate category and holds the title of Grand Champion for the past five years in a row. Hanson said the reason he feels the campus has done so well over the years is down to good planning. "First of all, when this university was established, we began the recycling program at the same time. So when everybody got their trash containers they got blue ones. So from the very beginning in the offices and the classrooms everybody saw that you can recycle and it was just a given. "It was like putting your seatbelt on. You just do it," Hanson saidv Recycle bins are located all over the campus and are placed next to trash containers. They are color coded and labeled to avoid confusion between the twoT Support has also been an important part of the success. "We have had great support from the See Recycle, Page 3 ASI makes safety a priority for Spring Break fun BY MALLANE DRESSEL Pride Staff Writer Arts & Entertainment 3 D Experience On Thursday, March 18 during U-Hour, ASI held an event to promote the concept that students can have fun during spring break while still keeping their safety in mind. Booths supplied information about alcohol consumption, sexual protection, transportation, and activities associated with spring break. At the event the mock-tails of Screwdrivers, and Shirley Temples, gave the students not only a refreshment to enjoy with their Chick-Fil-A but informative facts about alcohol's effects on the body. Students who pledged not to drink and drive during spring break received free chicken sandwiches. Those who pledged also wore a bracelet, showing other students through out the day that they had made the pledge. When student Stevie Perez was asked about the pledge he made, he said, "It's a great reminder. I will keep the pledge bracelet on to remind me not to drink and drive, and to remember to not let my own friends drink and drive." At the mock-tail booth, volunteers supplied pamphlets on alcohol poisoning, and information about designated drivers. The booth also promoted the RADD program, where designated drivers supplying the pledge card with the RADD logo would receive free non-alcoholic beverages at the 23 participating bars in the Pacific Beach and Mission Beach area. If students are staying local, the event promoted the Breeze Sprinter as a transportation alternative to driving. The Sprinter can transport drinking students safely to the popular areas by the beach, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. Unfortunately, the Sprinter's last pick up from Oceanside is an early See ASI, Page 3 Photo by Mollane Dressel Looking to get involved with school, experience to add to your resume, or an extra j ob?

The site, found at chatroulette.com, incorporates one-onone instant messaging and video chat in a new way that could re-revolutionize online interaction. Chatroulette, which launched in late 2009, is now generating high traffic in the US and around the world, according to the tracking company Alexa. I think part of this newfound interest can be attributed to the press it received about the some users exploit the video feature for sexual purposes. The website could easily launch itself among the ranks of Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace by changing its anonymous, instant action set up t o a site that requires users to create ,a profile, like the aforementioned network sites. This addition of profiles would have two radical consequences. First, it would allow users to stay connected and chat with friends, similar to Skype or AIM, but still let them meet new people, who could be àdded as friends. This would result in a personal touch for users to enjoy. Second, it would decrease the amount of sexual deviants that lurk the website. Website moderators could ban and block profiles of users who act explicitly and expose themselves on camera. I have estimated it is roughly ten percent of users who do explicit acts to give the website a bad reputation, and if moderators eliminated them, Chatroulette would flourish. Facebook and Twitter and Facebook MySpace have already proven that people enjoy staying connected with friends using profile systems. By also allowing users to connect with strangers, Chatroulette could be part of the movement that earned the Internet a nomination for the Noble Peace Prize, The committee cited the openness of Internet communication around the world has allowed for ideas to be shared in a way that could bring global unity. Since using Chatroulette, I have met people f rom Sweden, Korea, South A frica, and China, j ust to n ame a few countries. This experience humanizes people f rom d ifferent countries, and it reemphasizes the sentiment that we are not that different, despite what country we live in. Lastly, I have a hunch that Facebook w ill soon have a similar video interaction feature. Facebook, which managed to keep Twitter f rom overtaking it by the changing t he the set up f or status u pdates, might add a Chatroulette-clone f eature as a application.

Tuesday, March 23, 2 0 1 0 The competition started in 2001 with just two schools, Ohio University and Miami University, and it now covers over 600^schools, including international participants in Canada and Qatar. The growth of RecycleMania can be further illustrated since such large corporations as Coca Cola now sponsor it. CSUSM also recycles construction materials like metals, tiles and wood as well as green waste and hazardous waste like lamps. The next step for the university is to create a composting program to deal with the food service areas. This extra work will not affect the results of the competition, said Hanson. Many students at the event believed that the purpose of the event, safety while having fun, was great to have right before spring break, but some students thought that the purpose of the event was not being fully repre- sented. Student Akeisa Abercrombie commented about how influential the event was actually on students. "They are giving awareness, it's not enough, but at least they're taking the initiative to help people make smart decisions." The event may not be enough to guarantee that every student will have a safe Spring Break, but it definitely was presented to enough students to make a difference. House of Representatives approves sweeping health care overhaul BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor A year long debate on health care in America has come to an end as House Democrats passed legislation this last weekend to fundamentally overhaul the nation's health care system in the coming decades. President Obama is expected to sign the legislation on Tuesday, marking the end of a drawn out and polarizing public debate that has divided Republicans and Democrats across the country. The overhaul is expected to provide coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans by 2019. The reform legislation is comprised of two separate bills, the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3950). Both bills passed with a vote of 219-212, a narrow victory buoyed by a majority coalition of House Democrats. The House Republicans unanimously opposed the legislation, an indicator of a lasting partisan divide on the issue that has come to dominate the debate. To secure support from wavering Democrats, advocates of the legislation were forced to make some key concessions, abandoning ambitions for a governmentrun insurance program and prohibiting the use of federal funds for abortions. Republicans unanimously opposed the legislation, indicating the partisan nature of the health care overhaul debate. Under the new legislation, Insurance companies will no longer be allowed to deny coverage to individuals based on pre-existing conditions and will eventually be barred from charging higher premiums or canceling services for these individuals. The overhaul also also includes requirements for workers to insure their employees and citizens to obtain insurance, instituting steep fines for failures to comply. LastThursdaytheCongressional Budget Office (CBO) placed the cost of the overhaul at $940 billion in the first ten years, with a $138 billion reduction in the deficit during that time. The CBO also projected a potential reduction of the deficit by as much as one half percent of the GDP in the subsequent decade. President Obama Image courtesy of childlifehope.org Solidarity vs. Ignorance: Uniting Against Anti-Indian Assignments at CSUSM commented on the passage of the reforms, saying, "Congress finally declared that America's workers, America's families, and America's small businesses deserve the security of knowing that here in this country, neither illness nor accident should endanger the dreams they've worked a lifetime to achieve." House Minority leader, Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio), expressed his frustration with the bill just before it went to a vote, saying, "In this economy, with this, unemployment, with our desperate for jobs and economic growth, is this really the time to raise taxes, create bureaucracies and, and burden every job creator in our land? The answer is no."

Most major airlines charge a fee to check only one bag. Public transportation is a potential nightmare when you're lugging 50 extra pounds of stuff around with you. "Backpackfag" is redefined when your pack is too big to carry on your back. With some planning and paring down, your pack and mood will improve. The first failure of persistent over-packers is that they do not plan ahead. Making lists isn't just for the obsessive compulsive anymore. Lists help you prioritize what items __ you need verses what items are most used. Student Katie Freligh combats common problems when she packs her bags. "I always want to pack too much," Frelighsaid, "because I never know what to packjust to cover the basics." Think about the type of trip you're planning and pack for it. For example, most hotels have blow dryers, saving you the extra five pounds of weight a blow dryer would add. Opt for versatile casual shoes or sneakers instead of shoes for every occasion. Do you need that giant North Face coat? Pack your warmest sweatshirt and sacrifice some shivers. Remember to consider whether you will have access to laundry services or Laundromats. Besides remembering to pack plenty of quarters, think about the number of each item you should bring. Instead of three jeans and two shorts, pack one pair of each, and alternate your items until you get a chance to wash your clothes. Senior Shannon Brogan suggested an alternative to the traditional trifold for clothes. "Roll your shirts and pants, and sit on [the bag] if you have to," she said, "I'm pretty good;at getting everything in a carry-on." The kind of bag you use is as important as what goes in it Doug Dyment, "The Go Light Guru," offers three aspects to take into account when choosing luggage: quality, transportability, and airline carry-on limits. Dyment said, "you want a bag that's no laiger than carry-on size with soft sides and sturdy construction. "Soft-sided luggage is much to be preferred over the hard^shelled variety. Hard bags are heavier and do not cope with therigorsof extended travel nearly as well as their more yielding counterparts." If you are flying and decide to carry on, remember to check your airline's prohibited list Adhering to the rules will ensure a quicker checkin and help avoid being forced to throw anything out because it violates the Transportation Security Administration's rules.

Nearest to CSUSM, Mexico is a popular travel destination with cheaper hotel costs than other vacation spots and is known for a high tolerance of underage drinking, great beaches and fun activities. Although a spring break get-a-away to Mexico sounds like the perfect adventure, this popular student vacation spot is also known for dangerous drug activity and caution must be taken when traveling aboard. The U.S State Department, Bureau of Consular Affairs have issued a recent travel alert expressing that a number of locations along the U.S Mexico border are experiencing rapid growth in the rates of robberies, homicides, carjackings and petty of our local theme parks. Students can head to SeaWorld or the Wild Animal Park for a day of fun with friends. The Wild Animal Park offers a butterfly jungle March 27- April 18, this butterfly jungle allows guests to walk through and enjoy a simulated South American rain forest with a variety of butterflies available to see and interact with. Sea World celebrates spring nights with a firework show and special late night sea lion show. For information about SeaWorld, please visit www. seaworid.com Image courtesy of Cracked.com travel thefts, notably in Tijuana and northern Baja California within the last year. "Mexican drug cartels are engaged in violent conflict, both among themselves and with Mexican security services, for control of narcotics trafficking routes along the U.S.-Mexico border. To combat violence, the government of Mexico has deployed military troops throughout the country. U.S. citizens should cooperate fully with official checkpoints when traveling on Mexican highways,1" said the travel alert. "Common-sense precautions such as visiting only legitimate business and tourist areas during daylight hours, and avoiding areas where prostitution and drug dealing might occur, can help ensure that travel to Mexico is safe and enjoyable," continued the advisory. More safety tips for traveling include always taking the main roads and traveling during the daylight hours, travel in a group, do not travel alone, and never dis- play expensive watches, purses or even jewelry as these items can viewed as easy targets for crimes. Another precaution when traveling is to check with your cellular provider for international cell phone reception and service. Many carriers offer this service for a limited amount of days, not a long-term contract, and for a sensible price. For convenience and safety, a cell phone can be used in case of an emergency. U.S citizens can contact the nearest U.S consulates or the U.S Embassy in case of any trouble. Contact numbers are listed on the travel.state.gov website. �Tuesday March 2 3, 2 070 Sports THE PRIDE III i i Baseball wins double-header, completes three game-sweep of C SULA BY KYLE TREMBLEY Strong, timely hitting and resilient pitching were keys for Cougar baseball on Saturday, as the squad took both ends of a double-header at Cai State Los Angeles, 10-8 in game one and 9-4 in game two. CSUSM completes the threegame road sweep of the Golden Eagles, members of NCAA Division II and the CCAA Conference. The Cougars improve to 17-7 this season, while CSULA drops to 12-13. In game one, the Cougars got down early, battled back to take a commanding lead, then held on for dear life at thè end. Starting pitcher Travis McCracken gave another strong effort, allowing four runs in six innings of work. All those runs were scored in the third inning, and McCracken was able to bounce back and shut out CSULA for the rest of his outing. The win improves him to 5-1 this season. A Matt Jenkins solo home run put CSUSM up 1-0, but the team found itself down 4-1 after CSULA's big third inning. The Cou- gars would cut into that lead in the fourth and fifth innings, with Mike Pena driving in Josh Miller in the former, and Miller driving in Kevin Silvett in the latter. CSUSM's patience at the plate played a huge role in the win. The Cougars drew 11 walks in the contest, and they played a key role in a six-run sixth inning that ultimately decided the game. Pena and Omar Manzanarez led off the frame by drawing walks, and Ricardo Moran drove in the inning's first run with a base hit. Secciani, Silvett, and Miller all walked, pushing home two more runs, and a Ryle Parks base hit brought two more runs home. Finally, Pena earned his second walk to extend the inning, and an error pushed the Cougar lead to 9-4. CSUSM stayed patient in the seventh, as Moran, Secciani, Silvett, and Miller were walked in order to lead of the inning, making it 10-4. The Cougars got a taste of their own medicine in the eighth; however, as the bullpen walked three men to start the inning and CSULA took advantage, scoring four runs to cut it to 10-8. But closer Spencer Pardon was able to work out of it, getting all three outs in the eighth and working a relatively easy ninth to pick up the save. Game two would play out much the same way, minus the late comeback attempt by the Golden Eagles. Starting pitcher Johnny Holtman earned his first win of the year, striking out two and walking none in four innings of work. He gave up four runs in the third inning, but like McCracken, was flawless in the rest of his work. Silvett got things started for CSUSM in the first, belting a solo home run to, but once again the Cougar offense didn't really kick in until they were down 4-1. In the top of the fourth, Johnny Omahen singled in Mitch Ferguson to make it 4-2, and the Cougars would go on to take their first lead the following inning. Moran led off the fifth with a single, and with two outs, Miller reached on an error, and Parks made the defense pay with a huge three-run home run to put his team up 5-4. After reliever Ricky Chavarria worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the inning, Miller. doubled home Secciani to put CSUSM up 6-4. CSULA threatened in the bottom of the sixth, putting two on with no outs, but Julienne entered the game and put out the fire, inducing a double-play and fly out to get out of the jam unscathed. In the top of the seventh and final inning, the Cougar offense put it out of reach. Ferguson and Omahen led off with singles, and after a failed sacrifice bunt, Manzanarez drew a walk to load the bases for Moran. Moran would put the cherry on top of what has been a brilliant series at the plate for virtually the entire Cougar lineup, ripping a triple down the right field line to clear the bases. Julienne struck out the side in the seventh to earn his first save of the season, secure the 9-4 win, and finish off the huge sweep. The Cougars are off to a great start to their tour of the CCAA conference, but things won't get easier at #2 UC San Diego on the road on Monday at 2:00 PM.

CSUSM defeated Kenyon College 11-0, then the U. of Puget Sound 10-1. The wins push CSUSM's win streak to 8 games, and improve the team to 16-6 this season. Sandberg improves to 15-3 this season. Against Kenyon, the Cougar offense powered the team to three runs in the first, one in the second, two in the third, and finallyfivein the fifth to close the game out via the mercy rule. Shanti Poston led all batters with three hits, and teammates Elizabeth Bush, Alicia Ingram, Alyssa Dronenburg, and Erica Coelho all tallied a pair of hits. Coelho and Lauren Nelson drove in two runs each in what was a very balanced effort at the plate. On the mound, Sandberg cruised to the victory, tossing four innings of three-hit, zerowalk shutout ball. She struck out five hitters before Ciera Ashman came in to close out the game. It was much of the same in the second half of the double-header, as CSUSM jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the second and never looked back. Ingram, the speedster, and power-hitting Dronenburg led the way, with the former going 4-for-4 with J runs and 2 RBI, and the latter going 3-for-5 with her ninth home run of the season and 5 RBI. Sandberg survived a seasonhigh 7 walks by striking out a season-high 14 in six innings of work. She allowed just three hits and one run before giving way to Chanel Rose, who threw a perfect seventh to cap the victory. CSUSM will continue play at the Sun West Tournament on Saturday when they face St. Mary's and host school Chapman.

NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com ? 511 �4 Tuesday Mardi 24, Faces & Places 2009 THE PRIDE Keep SPF on hand this spring break Skin cancer is more common than you think BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer For many students, Spring Break is synonymous with fun in the sun. It is a chance to get out of class for a week to do what they want, be it surfing, beach going, skating, hiking, or some other outdoor activity. In the rush to get out, however, many people fail to adequately protect their skin from the harmful rays of the sun. While at the time, this does not seem like much harm, a lifetime of sun damage can lead to serious health problems. According to the National Cancer Institute, there are 1 million new cases of skin cancer in America every year and over a thousand deaths as a direct result. Along with smoking and obesity, it is one of the largest causes of preventable death in the U.S. Skin cancer comes in several different forms, which affect unique areas and parts of the skin. According to the National Cancer Institute's website, www. cancer.gov, melanoma, one of the most common types, forms in melanocytesm, or the skin cells that make pigment. Skin cancer that forms in basal cells, the small, round cells in the base of the outer layer of skin, is called basal cell carcinoma. When cancer forms in squamous cells (flat cells that form the surface of the skin) it is called squamous ceil carcinoma. Skin cancer that forms in neuroendocrine cells (cells that release hormones in response to signals from the ner- vous system) is called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. Dr. Steven Bates, who practices at the Student Health and Counseling center, outlined the symptoms of skin cancer. "The main thing is to keep an eye on moles or any other unusual or new skin growth," Bates said. "For instance, if the skin growth is growing rapidly, changing color, bleeding, changes in texture (becomes scaly or itchy) or becomes asymmetrical, it should definitely be looked at by a doctor ASAP. Ideally, you should do regular selfchecks on the moles you have and have a dermatologist check your skin once a year." The risk factors of skin cancer include excessive exposure to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation, like tanning booths. While normal exposure to sunlight is an important source of Vitamin D, too much sun without adequate protection causes major skin damage. "The best protection you have is sunscreen" said Jennifer Rummins, a local registered nurse. "If you are going to be out in the sun for a while, use at least an SPF of 30 that protects against both UVA and UVB rays." In addition, Dr. Bates warned that those who have fair skin tones, freckles, or have a family history of melanoma are most at risk. Both Rummins and Dr. Bates also recommended limiting your time in the sun and wearing loose protective clothing. So when heading out the door this Spring Break, b e smart and remember to pack the sunscreen—it could end up saving your life. M Hü ü¡¡ Hl M alignant B enign S nwnt p r t ci Am tn * r ai e !

Player's Sports Bar is in the process of buying the recently revamped local restaurant. As business dwindled over the years, Grappa's split into two restaurants sharing one roof. The bar and restaurant served customers until there was no more food or alcohol. "It wasn't fun. It was really rough trying to keep the doors open," said Grappa's and Legend's restaurant manager John Medina. After the recent renovation that added Legend's, a sports baroriented atmosphere, it seemed that the business was headed for greener pastures. However, from the recent closing, the remodel came too late to salvage the flailing Cougar hangout. "The owners banked on the sports bar bringing in more students from [California State University San Marcos] and keeping it alive. There was a big increase, but it didn't happen," said Grappa's and Legend's bartender and former CSUSM student Tyler Barr. Although there are various reasons why Grappa's and Legend's ultimately folded, some reasons point toward legal issues and marketing. "The City of San Marcos wouldn't let us do a lot of things because of the license we had. It wasihe higgestfighk We couldn't have any live entertainment, and we couldn't change our liquor license. We had to close at midnight Sunday through Wednesday, even if it included a holiday like New Year's Eve You tell me how you are supposed to be a bar and close at midnight," said Barr. "We weren't quick enough to respond to all of the issues. Without advertising money or promotions, we couldn't really do much," said Medina.

Southern California, San Diego County in particular, is home to some of the most temperate yearround coastline i njthe world. Be it surfing, bgogie board- ing, sunbathing, or hanging out with friends, the beaches of San Diego are perfect for almost any activity (besides drinking, that is). Everyone has a favorite beach for their own reasons, and CSUSM students in particular have their fair share of favorite spots.

Continuous emails were sent out to the entire student body and faculty advising to take extreme necessary precautions in making any trips to Mexico. Pat Worden, Vice President of Student A ffairs, on behalf of the O ffice of Communications forwarded the advisory along with a link to the U.S. Department of State travel alert implemented on Feb. 20, 2009. "Recently our O ffice of Communications sent out a State Department Travel Alert to the CSUSM community that reports an increase in crime and violence, i n Mexico„i The, purpose of such a Travel Alert is to warn prospective travelers of security risks and dangerous conditions," Worden stated in the e-mail. "I urge you tp review the State Department information as you consider whether to travel across the border during Spring Break. We want you to have a relaxing, refreshing, and safe Spring Break." The U.S. State Department, Bureau of Consular A ffairs, travel alert expresses that a number of locations along the U.S./Mexico border are Experiencing rapid growth in the rates of robberies, homicides, carjackings and petty t hefts, notably in Tijuana and northern Baja California within the last year. "In recent years, dozens of nUJSL citizens have been kidnapped across Mexico, many of these cases remain unresolved," the travel alert stated. Safety tips for traveling include always taking the main roads and traveling during the daylight hours, travel in a group, do not travel alone, and never display expensive watches, purses or even jewelry as these items can viewed as easy targets for crimes. "Mexican drug cartels are engaged in an increasingly violent conflict both among themselves and with Mexican security services, for control of narcotics t rafficking routes along the U.S. Mexico border. In order to combat violence, the government of Mexico has deployed troops in www.csusm.edu ^ ^ ^ and vote in the I VOTE A.S.I. Elections I V OTE I VOTE march 23-26. t I canned food drive begins march 23. various parts of the country. U:&v ^citizens should cooperate fully with official checkpoints when traveling on Mexican highways," according to the travel alert. Another precaution when traveling is to check with your cellular provider for international cell phone reception and service. Many carriers offer this service for a limited amount of days, not a longterm contract, and for a sensible price. For convenience and safety, a cell phone can be used in case of an emergency. U.S. citizens can contact the nearest U.S. consulates or the U.S. Embassy in case of any trouble. Contact numbers are listed on the travel.state.gov website. "Mexico is a popular destination and we want students to exercise caution and avoid dangerous situations i f they decide to travel south of the border," said Margaret Lutz, CSUSM's Public Information Officer. "It is important for students to take this alert seriously as there has been an increase in documented violence in Mexico. This violence is indiscriminate and innocent people have been victimized. Students should take common sense precautions and be aware of their surroundings." "Students should drink responsibly, especially with people they don't know, and keep passports and credit cards with them at all times.

"Run Fatboy Run," stars Simon Pegg as Dennis Doyle, a man who so underestimates his own self worth that he runs away from all the fabulous things life has put before him as he abandons his beautiful, pregnant bride, alone and utterly distraught, at the altar. Five years lata:, he works as a security guard at a women's clothing store in London, and that is perhaps the pinnacle of his life's achievements after running from his destiny. Thandie Newton, who recently played Condi Rice in the film "W", portrays Libby, Dennis' "almost wife." Libby is the balance in this film. Newton's smooth performance allows others, in the film to test the outer limits of control. Hank Azaria, a comic mastermind, fills the role of Whit, Libby's love interest In this role he plays a crafty foil to Dennis.

The I premise of the show revolves around a group of young socialites in Manhattan's Upper East Side. The show is ripe with clichés, but excels as a beacon of impeccable fashion taste. Below we will examine the styles of two of the main characters: Blair Waldorf Blair is one of the main characters of the series, she was raised to be the premier socialite of Manhattan and her style mirrors her polished personality. Blair is very classic and preppy. Her fashion 5 aesthetic is typical of the Upper East Side: £ it is one that reflects^ power, privilege, and upper-class. To get ^ the "Blair" look follow ^ these simple rules. 1. Classic: Blair's style is very classic. Look for traditional silhouettes and tai- A Neverending Story I wrapped myself tighter against Evan as we stood as quietly as possible, straining to see what might be in the bush ahead of us. I found myself breathing with short shallow breaths as I strained not only with my eyes, but also with my ears to determine what might be infrontof us. Aswe stood still, the sounds of the forest seemed to grow around us, and the dark seemed almost palpable. The bush began to move again and there seemed to be a darkening shadow moving awayfromthe bush and down the trail toward us. In the dim light of the moon it was hard to see any detail It seemed like a dark shadow without any mass. It just kept coming closer... and closer. I was tempted to breakfreeof Evan's grip and run as fast as I could, but lored pieces that accentuate your body. Blair attends an upscale school, so to achieve the preppy look, stick with white oxfords and dark navy blue skirts. 2. Feminine Details: Blair is very feminine. Look for details with hints of delicacy such as lace in order to achieve understated elegance. 3. Color Accents: Blair uses color to modernize her look. To keep things fresh and exciting, look for accessories that have bold colors. Limit the accents to one or two pieces or risk being a visual overload. Dan Humphrey Dan lives in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a place that reflects a culture that values liberal sensibilities and artistic expression. Dan's style is less formal than Blair's, and Dan tends to lean toward a more relaxed look. Here are a few rules to achieve the "Dan" § look. 1. Layers: Dan | likes to layer with cardigans and vests. So layer your favorite ^ shirt with a car- f i digan or vest to achieve effortless style. 2. Military: Dan wears a lot of masculine military-esque apparel. Think of military jackets and safari jackets as a replacement to blazers. 3. Down to Earth: Dan wears a very neutral palette. Keep things understated by staying with muted tones that compliment a relaxed look.

Naked Juice products can be found at numerous locations such as grocery stores and even some convenient stores. Henry's Farmers Market retails the juice for $3.29 and sometimes offers two for $5.

Sarika Thai Kitchen Authentic and fresh Thai cuisine with great prices BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer In San Marcos, there are a handful of Thai food restaurants to choose from. One of these options is the Sarika Thai Kitchen, a small family-owned restaurant in San Marcos. I qame across the Sarika Thai Kitchen one day when I was looking for a different Thai restaurant in the area. Since the banner outside of the small restaurant read "Grand Opening," I was curious to taste their food. Since then, the Sarika Thai Kitchen has been my generation in their family to run a Thai restaurant The other location, Emerald Thai by Sarika, is located minutes away in Vista. According to the Sarika Thai Kitchen's website, their slogan is "North County's Best Thai Food" I have to agree that the Sarika Thai Kitchen is the best Thai cuisine that I have tasted in North County that also has the best prices. To get the most variety for your buck, the best deals are during the day. With 15 traditional Thai dishes to choosefromfor the lunch specials, each is a deal that is hard tofindfor the quality and amount of food that this restaurant serves.

The chefs use natural and fresh ingredients with exotic spices and they use vegetable oil and no MSG. The dishes are traditionally spicy; however, one does have the option to choose the level of spice by indicating from a range of 'Very mild" that begins at 1, to "fire hot" ending in number 10. If it is too spicy, you can always quench your thirst with one of their cold Thai Iced Teas, a great treat! The Thai Iced Tea has a strong black tea tastesweetened with their delicious coconut milk. Coconut milk is a key ingredient in the many dishes used in Thai cuisine. For those who enjoy thick sauces like curry, I recommend any of the curry dishes. My favorites are the panang curry and yellow curry. All lunch and dinner choices include the main entree and steamed rice with a hint of jasmine flavor. If you do no take advantage of the lunch spe- cials, be prepared to get less variety for a higher dinner price. The dinner entrees do not include the soup, salad, fried spring roll and fried wonton. Instead, you receive a larger portion of the entree and rice. Whether your visit takes place during the day or evening, the wide array of choices of appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks will be tasty and reasonable in price. The small, quiet atmosphere of the restaurant and thefriendlyand quick service will only add to your enjoyable experience at the Sarika Thai Kitchen. WHAT: Sarika Thai Kitchen WHERE: 1001 W.

About 75 students learned which fork to use, to keep their napkin on their lap during the entire meal and how the salt and pepper are treated as a married couple. The Career and Assessment Center (CAC) and Associated Students Inc. (ASI) joined together to put on the "First Annual Business Etiquette Dinner" at the Lake San Marcos Country Club.

"Many people thought I wasn't tough enough to be a D.A because I am a woman," said Dumanis. She continued to comment on the nature of men and women in law enforcement, noting that men and women simply respond differently, but provided no examples. Professor Garcia of the Women's Studies department disagreed slightly with Dumanis' assumptions of the innate differences between men and women. Garcia asserts that gender "is socially constructed, not biologically determined." Women respond differently than men because "this is how they were socialized to 'do gender' and not because it is something biologically innate." Fortunately for Dumanis' campaign, she is an experienced county clerk, assistant D.A, felony prosecutor, criminal trial judge, and seasoned law enforcement manager. "My whole career has been in law enforcement," states Dumanis. She admitted to have gone through some changes because of her gender to make her more palatable to the masses. She got a haircut, began to wear make-up and obtained a consultant to help with her wardrobe. This issue of needing to look feminine and fulfill a stereotype in f rom p age i community, but to no avail. "I believe in personal freedom, fiscal responsibility and accountability. These are the corner stones of the Republican party...I have to be true to myself," Dumanis said. are women," Tierney said, "and I think it worked to our advantage...and people just love Bonnie." Dumanis and Tierney also attribute the victory to San Diego's changing demographics and a series of defeated obstacles, such as negative perceptions of her gender and personal lifestyle. Historically, as maintained by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters since 1991, San Diego County is a more conservative region, meaning that the majority of its populous votes conservatively, so it was a big deal when voters designated a gay Republican woman as their new D.A by a margin of only 3,500 votes in the closest election in Southern California history. "We were very underestimated because we Because of the obstacles relating to gender and sexual orientation, Dumanis and Tierney had to change the nature of the campaign so that it, according to Tierney, focused not only on "why to choose Bonnie, but why not the other guy;" this in reference to the borderline smear campaign necessary to win the election.

"I thought things had changed," said Farmer in reference to feminine acceptance based on a compliance with an imposed cultural standard, "but obviously they haven't." Besides the negative cultural perception of her gender, Dumanis didn't get the support of her own political party because of her gay lifestyle, according to her close friend and political consultant Jennifer Tierney. Many friends and colleagues tried to get Dumanis to switch political parties because Democrats are perceived as being more friendly to the homosexual Keith Speers from page 1 Speers was responsible for working with the ASI board of directors and overseeing that ASI staff implements the board's goals. The executive director serves as a member on the division of student affairs senior management team and directs the financial, risk management and developmental aspects of ASI. ASI staff has refused to disclose Speers' salary. However, in a copy of the Fall 2002 ASI budget obtained by The Pride, it was acknowledged that $201,517 was allotted for the salaries of the part-time and fulltime professional staff, who included Speers as executive director; Poggi, who was then the assistant executive director; Marilyn McWilliams as administrative assistant; and Helen Hinton, program director for the Early Learning Center. Hinton is no longer on staff with ASI. The board appointed Poggi as Interim Executive Director at the Mar. 14 meeting. This position, as determined by the board, will last for one year. Poggi has been with ASI since Mar. 11, 2002. She said that she "wants to become the ASI attorney Richard Bromley refused to comment on the Speers' situation, explaining that because he is counsel for ASI, it is "inappropriate" for him to discuss any aspect of it. Brown wanted to clarify that the departure of Speers Union Tribune," Dumanis said, then Tierney added, "but he didn't have the support of San Diego lawyers, and that helped a lot." Paul Pfingst, the incumbent, earned a vote of no confidence from the county prosecutors' union after a series of events that called Pfingst's ethics into question. Dumanis capitalized on the scandals, which according to the North County Times included two "gender discrimination lawsuits that cost the county more than 1.25 million dollars," as well as a history of marijuana use. "Everything was truthful," Tierney said, "but we just didn't show the incumbent in the best light." and installment of Poggi as interim should be a smooth one, which should not result in any "break of business." Both Brown and Poggi believe that the student population will not notice the change in leadership. The approval of the official copy of the minutes from the Mar. 14 meeting is on the agenda of the next meeting of the ASI board, which is scheduled for Mar. 28, in Commons 206 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Once approved, these minutes are available upon request. However, it is possible that the released minutes will continue to questions unanswered about Speers' sudden departure. bl By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The 75th annual Academy Awards were held on schedule this year, but it was a slightly more subdued, and shorter,, c eremony than in previous years. Chicago won the most awards, a total of six, and the Holocaust drama, The Pianist, won three. S The increased likelihood of ^ war led many to believe that the ceremony would be altered in some way. While there were cutaways to news updates once every hour, the ceremony largely went without any mention of the war until the last two hours. Attending stars were heavily conflicted as to appropriate behavior. Stars had reportedly asked their designers to set aside a dark suit in addition to the gowns they had already chosen. Some decided to go ahead with * traditional glamour, including Halle Berry, who claimed her gown would inspire the troops. Nicole Kidman said in Entertainment Weekly that she was "in two minds" about attending the event during a war. "There are two arguments, aren't there, where they say you need to continue on with things and not be stopped, and then there's the other thing where you just say, of course, it would feel very strange to show up," she said. A few stars eventually decided not to attend, including presenter Will Smith, whose publicist said he "felt uncomfortable attending." Many of the stars felt it inappropriate to speak out directly against the war, instead silently protesting by wearing small golden dove pins, symbolizing a desire for world peace. away by the LAPD.

A few winners and presenters used the stage to speak about the war. The first person to speak out on the stage was presenter Gael Garcia, who mentioned that if Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, the subject of a film nominated for several awards, was alive she would be protesting against the war. Michael Moore, the winner for best documentary, proclaimed during his speech, "We live in fictional times. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Shame on you, Mr. Bush!" His remarks led to scattered applause and some boos. Later, best actor winner Adrien Brody received a standing ovation for his "prayer for a peaceful and swift resolution." He dedicated his award to a friend serving overseas. After the show, he was reported as saying it was difficult "to celebrate when there is sadness and conflict in the world, but our achievements are valid and we deserve to celebrate that." Nicole Kidman defended the decision to hold the Oscars during wartime in her best actress acceptance speech, saying, "Art is important, because you believe in what you do, and there's a tradition that needs to be upheld." When asked his views about whether holding the awards on Sunday was appropriate, Honorary Oscar winner Peter O'Toole said, "If we civilians can't go on properly, what are they fighting for?" Best original screenplay winner Pedro Almodovar dedicated his award to the peace movement.

While traditional pain treatments may no longer be effective, some have found one that is. The problem is that its use is against the law. People suffering from illnesses as varied as anorexia, migraines, chronic pain, AIDS, and cancer have found relief by smoking marijuana, and the federal government is taking action against them. The Proposition Proposition 215, The Compassionate Use Act of 1996, passed by a small majority of California voters, provides for the growing and possession of small quantities of marijuana. State police have been instructed about how to handle citizens who are found with small amounts of marijuana for medical use, since patients and their caregivers may grow and possess marijuana any amount of marijuana. for medical purposes in the This conflict among State of California. governmental agencies, and the question of state Prop. 215 added a section sovereignty versus federal to the California Health and jurisdiction, is more than Safety code providing that academic.

These guidelines went into effect The guidelines adopted immediately, and will be by the San Diego City reviewed after two years. Council seem generous, since marijuana is still Federal law, on the other- considered an illegal drug hand, forbids possession of by the federal government. However, McWilliams considers them restrictive, unnecessary, and in violation of the will of the voters as expressed in the passage of Prop. 215. McWilliams smokes marijuana in order to alleviate the pain he suffers from a motorcycle accident. He and his housemate cultivate the drug for their own medical use. "We considered ourselves an information resource center," said McWilliams, and clarifies that they never sell or distribute marijuana. "We are very strict," he says. He continues that "for protection under the law," he requires the patients who approached him to have a letter from their physician, stating that the patient would be helped by using marijuana. McWilliams would then teach the patient how to cultivate their own plants. McWilliams uses his home garden as a model for how to successfully cultivate the plants, which The Church of the SubGenius Making no pretense to sincerity, the church of the SubGenius claims that by using their techniques of "BULLDADA" and "MOREALISM" and, perhaps most importantly, sending in money, one ; can "MIRACULOUSLY !

These claims and many others may be found in SubGenius pamphlet No.l: The World Ends Tomorrow and You May Die. Outrageous claims are one of the documented characteristics of cult societies. erature is very difficult, and some would q uestion whether the gest that proffering sacred literature that reads like s cript "Praise Bob" from Monty Python's Flying Circus is a way of jarring religious aspirants into an that inhaling marijuana through a vaporizer delivers therapeutic benefits without the risks inherent in smoking the plants' leaves. McWilliams now faces a possible prison term of six months. After his case is resolved and he has served any possible sentence, he will be leaving the area. "San Diego is a police state," he said. He plans to move to northern California, where medical marijuana laws are more liberal. "I believe in democracy. I believe in America," said McWilliams, but he added, "today, sick and dying people have the right to this medication." According to McWilliams, there are a number of countries investigating therapeutic marijuana, including New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain. Locally, UCSD is conducting a similar study on marijuana.

U.S. have determined Battling Pinky Boys and Promoting Sacred Slack By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer The Church of the SubGenius is an unabashed cult. It is among a group of "new" religions that many may not be familiar with. The movement was conceived and designed using academic studies of cults and cult phenomena. Religious cults typically provide their members with an all-consuming imperative goal to pursue, which if examined rationally will often make no logical sense at all. For the sub genii, this goal is the pursuit of slack. are notoriously difficult, time-consuming to grow, and plagued with problems, including pests. According to McWilliams, it takes about four months for a plant to fully mature from seedlings. He has invited patients, police officers, and city council members to his home to view the garden. Although it is behind a protective fence, he says that he has been very open about his activities. Another ubiquitous characteristic of religious cults is the veneration of a leader whom followers view as having a special connection to the divine. J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, "The Living Slack Master and High Eptot," fulfills this role for the altered state Church of the SubGenius. of consciousness. The church of the The actual theology of the SubGenius is happy to church of the SubGenius is embrace this interpretabased on the writings of J.R. tion as well as almost Dobbs, which are contained any other that might be in various tracts and books. offered. The sub genii will be happy to sell these publications to Distilling a cohesive anyone with the cash and theology from sub genii litthe will to buy. Some sug- organization is genuine in the beliefs they do espouse. Nonetheless, a careful and repeated reading of their l iterature reveals some consistent ideas. They believe that the planet Earth is under the control of an immensely powerful extra terrestrial being, Jehovah 1, who is an essentially selfish entity but one that can be placated in order to achieve "slack" for humanity. "Slack" can be defined as getting something for nothing, or as having more than enough time to do everything one wants to do. Slack is a state of being very similar to the Christian notion of living under Grace. The sub genii have been involved in working with Jehovah 1 for millennia, with the goal of creating a paradise on Earth. These sub genii have been consistently thwarted by sinister "Pink Boys" who insist on perpetuating false notions such as economic scarcity and the law of preservation of energy. The pink boys seem to be some kind of malignant cabal dedicated to keeping humanity enslaved to capitalism and conventional morality. They are responsible for our modern systems of ethics, religion, and economics that deprive individuals of their Jehovah 1-given right to slack. Year in and year out, the sub genii predict a cataclysmic apocalypse to occur on July 5, and the church celebrates accordingly each year on that date. The failure of such an apocalypse to actually occur has led some to suggest that sub genii merely use this supposed day of reckoning as an excuse to hold riotous parties, though the church denies this. Those interested in a religion that can be used to justify almost any kind of hedonistic excess and not opposed to exposing themselves to further spiritual confusion as well as to possible police surveillance can contact the church of the SubGenius at www.subgenius.com. For $30.00 one can become an ordained minister in the church of the SubGenius and receive a "Doktorate of the Forbidden Sciences." �Movie Marketingtothe Masses An inside look at the system of movie production By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer a few months.

Women Performers Dance the Middle East and Mexico UCLA shows world cultures through dance By DIANA K. CABUTO Pride Staff Writer In celebration of Women's History month, culture, dance, and tradition was what the Cal State San Marcos audience, students, and teachers experienced with the UCLA performers on Tuesday, March 18th in the Arts Building.

They danced some Middle Eastern moves like the rump 'shaking shimmy' that characterizes Middle Eastern folk dance. They also enjoyed dancing with partners in some of the traditional dances that have originated in Oaxaca. Both the audience and the performers were happy to interact with each other. When Rabb was asked about her experience with the students at Cal State San Marcos, she responded, "Speaking for my entire group I can say that interacting with the students at CSUSM was an absolute pleasure, and most of us in the folklore graduate program at UCLA hope to become teachers one day and Maria Gonzalez, a sophomore so the classroom experience for pre-business student at CSUSM, us is invaluable." said, "I am happy to see this type of presentation, in which the The presentation and perforaudience interacts more with the mance lasted two hours, and the performers, and actually learns audience was delighted.

In its first year and a half the site has seen some 335,940 visitors and is now celebrating its 25,000th individual evaluation and its 10,000th different professor evaluated. The site's traffic rating has made them one of the largest college sites in the world. Upon browsing the site I found it to be informative as well as entertaining. First, at the top of every page is the Quote of the Moment, in which amusing quotes from Homer Simpson to George Carlin to Dan Quayle are shown. Then in the evaluation section is the A+ Club where the best-rated professors are showcased. Another section is titled Q&A with Ross, where questions are posed and Ross attempts to respond in a humorous manner, and is oftentimes successful. Kasey on College is yet another section of the site that attempts to offer advice to issues of college life in general.

Some of them are absolutely ingenious, and I recommend at least visiting that particular part of the site. Out of simple curiosity I decided to check and see if any of my professors had been evaluated and was disappointed to find out that although one of my instructors was evaluated, there was only one other evaluation of a professor f rom CSUSM.

In an effort to gather information and get student feedback regarding the Union, the university put together many focus groups of students who met facility planners and architects on Tues. March 18. The meetings were designed to acquire student feedback and gather information in regards to As enrollment at CSUSM is increasing, the university is looking to expand campus life and resources with talks of adding a new Student Union. Currently, the process is in its first phase, which consists of gathering information students wants and needs in a Student Union. In attendance to conduct the research were Brailsord & Dunlavey Facility Planners and the HGA Architecture Firm. The first question addressed to students in attendance was why they chose to come to Cal State San Marcos. Student responses varied but mostly had to do with small class sizes and location. Consistent with the focus on student wants and needs; the meeting proceeded .with discussion surrounding what students would like to see in a Student Union on campus. James Carruthers of Braiisford & Dunlavey made it apparent that they were listening to what students had to say when he stated, GRADFEST 2008 Gas prices skyrocket nationwide Price per gallon could rise to $4 this summer BY JONATHAN E.

The vote was 5-2, the minimum needed to pass it. The ban includes locations like La Jolla Cove, Mission * Beach and Ocean Beach. Banning alcohol on beaches has come up with the city council in the past. In 1994, the city council voted for the same type of one-year trial ban, but opponents gathered enough signatures for a referendum, and the council was forced to repeal the ban. In 2002, the ballot included voting on an 18-month alcohol in parts of Pacific Beach and Mission Beach, which was rejected by a narrow margin. About 30,209, or 5% of registered city voters, would be needed to force a referendum in the same manner at 1994.

In the first game, No. 12 Western Kentucky watched their lead dwindle as io piiöt: ' No. 5 Drake came back to tie the game. Then Western KenK V W tucky took care of business in overtime when Tv Rodgers hit a : three point buzzer beater. Then No. 13 San Diego was able to hold on and win in overtime against No. 4 Connecticut. Later in the a fternoon, No. 13 Siena took care of business and beat the struggling No. 4 Vanderbilt by winning by 21 points. Then the final upset of the first round took place when No. 12 Villanova was able to control the flow of the game and beat ' ' i / 1 ^ No. 5 Clemson. Then add No. 10 Davidson, Western Kentucky, Villanova, and No. 7 West Virginia to the sweet sixteen creating mayhem with the brackets. The Bad ¿il ^ ^ Three of my five brackets I have playing i n money pools. Seeing Clemson and Vanderbilt getting eliminated, took out two teams that I had beating Kansas in the Sweet 16 and advancing to the Elite Eight. But despite losing a lot of the one point games in the first round, I am happy to say I have all my final four teams and the loss of certain teams does help my final standings in my brackets. The Ugly This one is easy: Duke! No. 15 Belmont knew what they needed to do to beat No. 2 Duke. Belmont tasted their first tournament victory in history with 11.9 seconds remaining in the game. But there best wasn't enough as they fell 71-70. But it was West Virginia who was able to get the ball down low and take care of O uke 73-67 in the second round. Duke, like others, were over exposed and overrated. Unable to do what they needed to do to advance, there now going get to watch the rest of the madness with the rest of us on the television.

Blood, Sweat, Tears, Turtles ûéFS, BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer "You do realize you have a reptile in your house then?" Ok, in all fairness, it's not so much a reptile as a turtle. Before you get all taxonomy and point out that a turtle is a reptile, it's not really. It's a turtle. Reptiles freak you out if they escape from their cages, and they do things like slither, and make your grandmother faint. A turtle just kind of galumphs along. But wait. There's more. This turtle is much more than a turtle. This, my friends, is war with a shell. Well, more like a passive aggressive battle of wits between my significant other and myself. You see, this is relationship rehab. Recovering addicts, depending on the program, are taught to ease back into responsibility. Try a plant. Then a fish. Then a dog or a cat. Thenfinally,you can move onto people. I didn't go to rehab, but I've been in a buttload of unhealthy relationships. I did things a little backwards though. I got the guy first. Then followed it up with no plant, and now a turtle. So really, I think we're both just making sure ^we can keep the turtle alive before we make a bigger commitment. I mean, would you marry a turtle killer? No, I wouldn't either. So, here's a little view of how my morning went. Get up too early. Check and make sure turtle's still alive. He's still alive. (Sidenote: we don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet. People have been asking me how you check the sex. Answer: Play soft music and buy it flowers and candy until it rolls over for you.) Text significant other to say that I'm worried Mr. Turtle doesn't have enough room to swim and he seems unhappy. Significant other's response: "He'll be fine, babe. Take him on a field trip to the bathtub." Um, my boyfriend's ex-roommate used to go shopping. At bars. For men. Every night. I'm way more worried about the bath tub giving Mr. Turtle the clap than I am about catching salmonella from him. I'm pretty sure if the turtle catches syphilis on my watch, I lose the battle. So, perhaps you too are in a serious relationship but afraid to take that next step. But I bet if you knew the next step could eat goldfish, like mine can, you'd be all over that and walking down the aisle (or having a commitment ceremony in the Bahamas.. .or being hitched at a drive-thru chapel in Vegas by Elvis) i n no time. - �Voice Can it "Country Pop" BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer W hen I t hink of c ountry m usic, I t hink of one of t wo t hings.

T he p eople in t he music industry could c larify t his by labeling m odern music of t his n ature as " country p op." One d ifference I find between the two eras.of country music is the popularization of t he new breed. Today p erformers have replaced the dated ' twang' sound with synthesized vocals and electric guitar. Like all genres, it seems it is more about the money t han the music. If this were not t rue, there would not be an entire television station devoted to c ountry music, and in f act, there are two. T his changeover, with singers such as Shania Twain, is an i nformal selling out. A nother reason f or t his clarification is the ability for lyrics t o be change into other genres. Carrie Underwood's t une "Before He C heats" could j ust as easily become a p op or R&B song. On the other hand, Cash's " Ring of F ire" and Daniel's " The Devil Went Down to Georgia" do not sound right p erformed any other way, such as in Guitar Hero III. Yet most songs by groups such as the Dixie Chicks or Rascal Flatts have a popularized lyrics and tempos: t he n ail in t he c offin f or t his involved e xamination of another g enre. Rock widely encompasses m any styles and t ypes of music. C ountry is l arge as well, but people do not b reak it into subgenres.

Some g enres when blended receive a ppropriate t itular s tatus, yet c ountry is u nwilling t o budge. People place a rtists like Molly Hatchet and Lynyrd Skynyrd into " southern r ock," t hough t here are definite c ountry influences in t he music. There is more t o the f acets of country music the j ust country western.

Students go to college, ideally, to manifest their education towards a successful career. Leading up to graduation, seniors face the challenge of finding the right job. "I'm nervous about searching for a career and not just any job. I hope that cougar jobs can help me out. I 'm, the problems last Labor Day in Pacific Beach, in which the arrest of one reveler turned into a major clash between beach goers armed with rocks and glass beer bottles and police officers in riot gear, which ended with the arrests of 16 people. The police department has been accused of using excessive force in the situation. For afirsttime offense, the maximum fine is $250. However, repeat offenses could bring up to $1000 infines,and may include up to a six-month jail sentence. The ban covers beaches up to the Del Mar city limits, leaving residents of North County in the middle of a checkerboard of beaches covered by alcohol laws. A full list of areas where alcohol is banned by the new law can be found at www.sandiego.gov/city-clerk. From BAN, page 1 Responsibility, collected 45,000 signatures. However, when the city clerk's office randomly sampled 3% of the peti* tion, they found only 680 of 1,367 signatures to be valid. As a result, the petition was declared to haye an insufficient number of signatures. The question remains over whether random sampling is fair. However, it is more economical. According to a press release from the city clerk's office, "The cost of a signature-by-signature verification of the petition has been estimated at $70,000 - $147,000. Therefore, any person who desires to challenge the determination of insufficiency by random sampling method must post.. .a certified check for $70,000 to initially cover that cost." The law might not have passed before P f ^ f S ' : ; .|/8/Ö8^:30p.® From PREVIEW, page 1 handing out pledge kits on Thursday encouraging students not to drink and drive and will be giving free pizza with it for a safer spring break. "While spring offers a f un and enjoyable week away from school, college students need to be aware of safe and responsible activities " said Tracey Armold. "Just because we have the capability to drink alcohol, doesn't actually make us adults, it's how we conduct ourselves and how we are held accountable as well." For years, spring break has been notorious for its high levels of excess drinking and sexuality. However, recent studies have shown a change in trends. A Nielsen Media study shows 84% of college students drank responsibly and 90% think providing community service projects to college students is a good way to spend their spring break. Some of the more infamous destinations for student retreats include Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale, Rosarito, and Cabo San Lucas. From GAS, page 1 sees sharp gas price increases as summertime approaches. People o ften travel more during the summer as they vacation across the nation. The increased demand lowers the available supply, thus in6reasing the cost of gas. Gas prices are an u nfortunate p art of CSUSM. CSUSM currently holds the label as a commuter school. Most Cougars commute to campus. This inherent phenomenon is evident in the parking lots. Increasing gas prices are not enough to thwart o ff an education, therefore forcing students to shell out the extra bucks at the pump. Junior Business Major Kyle McClellan seemed to have a lot to say when asked about his opinion on gas prices. "Soon gas prices will be higher than the Empire State Building. It's so expensive I will have to mortgage my house j ust to buy another gallon. I t hink I will have to invest in a bicycle to ride everywhere. If Gandhi were alive, he would agree with me, gas is too expensive. Gas already costs an arm Sarj Marcos Over the past weekend, police arrested three young men in Daytona Beach, Florida for detonating an explosion at local hotel terrace. The blast mildly injured a nearby family, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal. On March 15, authorities halted the Spring Fling event hosted by Associated Students Incorporated abruptly due to rambunctious activities by many. of attendees. Reports onboard the San Diego yacht of underage drinking and detrimental behavior by a number of underage students surfaced and forced the event back to shore. Locally, San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre specifically addressed students and warned them of the alcohol ban on all San Diego beaches. "San Diego city beaches are now alcohol free," Aguirre said in a letter sent out to 20 nearby universities in California, Arizona, and Colorado. "Violating this law can put a real damper on your entire spring break." First time offenders could be fined up to $250 and repeat offenders as much as $1000. and a leg, what body p art comes next," McClellan said. The trend seems to show no mercy. Gas prices have been increasing for years, granted there are few decreases along the way. Unfortunately, these decreases are minuscule and short lived. Make preparations now and plan for $4 per gallon of gas this summer.

One of the most notable and skilled unconventional artists is Phil Hansen. Though his works reflect the same skill as most drawings and sculptures, Hansen uses several unique tactics to create his art. In one of his works, "Influence," he only uses paint and his own body as a canvas. However, he has also used pinecones, other parts of nature, a blowtorch, and his own hands and feet as paintbrushes. "Influence" is a video of Hansen painting thirty pictures on his own stomach—most of which are of people that influenced him. Not only is being able to point on one's own chest a skill, he does it thirty times and with incredible skill. Hansen paints each picture A video of inspiration over the one before it. He reveals his clever thought process in the end when he peels the entire work off and cuts it into two faces opposite each other. The skill of his work comes from the material he chooses to use and/or how he makes it. There are instances where his piece is made of eggs, Starbuck's cups, or matches, in which he cannot create an outline, and most times, he does not have the final picture before him. The project wraps around him and he can imagine the entire work in his mind without physically seeing it. There is more to his work than just "Influence." He has created over a dozen works of art, most of which become destroyed in the process and only exist in online videos. His videos are on YouTube, but his main website is www.philinthecircle.com, where viewers can watch the production, completion, and destruction of his art. Photo courtesy philinthecircle.com 0 - Team's Spoon Wars BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Has anyone else seen random students around campus carrying bright green spoons in their hands? It's more than likely that the answer is yes, so this brings about the question of why? Why are students carrying around bright green Kermit spoons, to be exact? Well, it looks like the answer can be found at Student Life and Leadership, where many campus inquiries can be answered. For its second year, the Orientation Team from Student Life and Leadership—also known as the O-Team—is in the middle of a war: a spoon war. What initially began as a way for the O-Team to grow and learn about one another, has quickly evolved into a new tradition here at CSUSM that is integrated within the entire campus community. Implemented by Jennie Goldman, the director of New Student Programs, and O-Team Director John Hall, this new tradition is an adaptation of the game "Assassins." "Each person on O-Team was given a bright green Kermit plastic spoon," said O-Team member Angela Ortiz. "We are to carry the spoons everywhere. They need to be in our hand and if we let go of the spoon, it must be able to fall." Throughout the war, each participant has an assigned "target" they are watching. If they catch their target without their spoon, their target is out—or technically speaking, "spooned," by their hunter, and then the target's target becomes the hunter's new target. Everyone on the O-Team is a hunter and a target during the spoon war. "We cannot tag a person while they are working or if there is a presentation going on during one of our O-team meetings. Other than that, you can tag a person anytime, anywhere," said Stepha- eventually become the foundation for Seeqpod.

BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer Beware of the spoon nie Michaels of the O-Team. "This is a team building exercise that teaches you to keep your friends close, and your spoons even closer," said O-Team member Kevin Chatham. "The spoon war can last for a really long time or a really short time," said Ortiz. "This game can go on for months..." said Hall. Last year Ortiz got spooned at home by her own sister who was also on the O-Team only an hour after the war started, and Michaels lost at last year's Spring Fling while dancing without holding her spoon. "I wanted a truce so I didn't have to dance with my spoon but my friends wouldn't do it," said Michaels. Chatham, commenting last year's war said, ""I can't believe I got out! I thought she was just giving me a hug but she spooned me!" "Ifyou see someone holding a plastic green spoon, then you know who O-Team is and you know the Spoon War is on. The Spoon War is all about bonding with your target," said Ortiz. "You get to know where they hang out, whether it's the library, C3, SLL or in some random classroom. You try to scope out who others have, and attempt to build alliances. No one is safe, not at any Spring Fling dance, lunch outing, O-Team meeting or before class." "The spoon wars are a great way for our organization to 1oe visible, have fun, and further build community in our organization," added Hall. "Whether in orientations or in the classroom, O-Team will be there to show school spirit, even if it means holding a little green spoon with the image of Kermit the Frog all over it," said Ortiz.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer In a world briefing released by the New York Times on Feb. 28, the Associated Press announced that South A frica's government said it would end a 13-year mor• atorium on killing elephants beginning in May to reduce the overgrown population of South A frican elephants in hopes of protecting the ecosystem and impacted wildlife parks. The brief stated that at the t urn of the 20th century, there were only 200 elephants in South A frica. Now, there are between 18 and 20 thousand, according to varying sources. A 11 s ources a gree though, that the number of elephants currently in South A frica is expected to double by the year 2020—merely 12 years f rom now. Interestingly enough, there is another population of elephants that is undergoing population problems. However, t his p opulation's problem i sn't overgrowth, it is extinction. 5,853 miles across the Indian Ocean, in Laos, once heralded for i t's numerous herds and once dubbed the "Land of a million elephants," only has what is believed to be 700 Asian elephants l eft in the wild. In a c ountry lush with forest and vegetation, i t's a harsh % contrast f rom the scene in South A frica where n atural vegetation is t aking a b eating f eeding the some 20,000 .elephants there, that can each eat 5% of t heir weight a day. According to the World Wide Fund for N ature, it is estimated that there are only 25,000 wild Asian elephant^ l eft and 15,0.00 captive Asian elephants. A hundred years ago however, Thailand is thought to have had upwards of 100,000 Asian elephants. So why are there so few Asian elephants l eft in Laos? T hanks to f armers, p oachers, loggers, and dam builders (who all use elephants as t heir labor), i t's becoming harder for the endangered elephants to survive the t hreats and demands of man. Naturally, the f irst thought one might have is to j ust ship some—or in t his case thousands—of the South A frican elephants to the lush and under-populated Laos. However, the two species of elephants are vastly d ifferent. And now, t hrough DNA test- 1 H ü ing, it is believed that there is a ctually a t hird species of elephant. The t hird species comes j ust f rom the distinction b etween the A frican forest elephants and the A frican s avanna elephants. The A frican forest elephant is slightly smaller t han the more o ften seen Savanna elephant (Loxodonta A fricana), which is the species most commonly seen by the world in zoos, s afarigoers, and tourists to A frica.

The Associated Press conducted a five-month long investigation that revealed pharmaceutical drugs in the drinking water supplies of 24 large metropolitan areas. Trace concentrations ofiheart medicine, infection fighters, estrogen hormones, anti-convulsarits, mood stabilizers, and tranquilizers were found in areas including southern California, New Jersey, [Michigan, and Kentucky. Similar drugs were found in upstate New York and in Philadelphia, other medicines such as asthma, high cholesterol, and epilepsy were found. In southern California, anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medications were revealed in treated drinking water that 18.5 million people consume. The article reports that over the past couple of years, Americans' intake of prescription and nonprescription drugs has increased. The i contamination of water could conceivably be traced back to metabolized use (drugs do not just "stay" in our bodies and are "flushed out" and back into the water supply) or simply unused by humans. Additionally, there is the issue of contaminants, such pesticides and lead that have been focused on and regulated because higher concentrations presented a clear health risk. In regards to pharmaceutical drugs, some officials note that human safety may not be jeopardized because of studies done with larger amounts of trace concentrations and lab animals. Other officials are concerned because humans consume water every day consistently and in respectable amounts. Another point of view on the subject is that pharmaceuticals, contrasting to other contaminants, are designed for the humans. With a compounding consumption, these trace amounts could especially affect and be more devastating to those more in more sensitive conditions—the elderly, pregnant women, and significantly ill people. Currently, the federal government does not have any required testing for cle mentions that some studies have found trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals in Asia, Australia, Canada, and Europe. There are also documented health issues with wildlife that are being further investigated. It is also important to address that based on what the pharmaceutical industry knows, they justify that there is little effect on human health by these trace contaminants. While this is important news, the AP did not conduct a comprehensive, scientific study to examine the full effects of this on humans, so these discoveries cannot conclude a specific causeand-effect relationship on humans. Many scientists emphasize that research is limited on this subject matter and a lot of information is unknown.

The AP article also notes that some water providers that do screen for drugs only screen for a small number, which overlooks the prospects of other drugs. Another concern is the addition of chlorine in water can exacerbate the toxicity of drugs. Furthermore, another matter is bottled water and home filtration systems, which do not remove these impurities. Bottled water is often the same tap water repackaged and is not treated for pharmaceutical contamination. The article also explains that the only known technology to remove pharmaceutical contaminants is reverse osmosis, but the drawbacks of this procedure is its expense for mass production and it also produces large amounts of contaminated water for every small amount that is clean of pollutants. So, unless a home filiation system specifically features a reverse osmosis capability, the water may still contain harmful pharmaceutical pollutants.

Playing against an extremely talented #2 Azusa Pacific team, the Cougars surged late but could not complete the comeback. Azusa Pacific started strong scoring six runs in the first two innings, knocking out SP Steve Triolo after just 1 1/3 IP. Down 6-0, the Cougars got on the board as 3b Austin Coleman hit a solo homerun in the bottom of the 2nd, and would tack on two more in the third to be down 7-4. In the bottom of the 7th, DH Austin Way hit his second home run of the game to start the comeback, but Azusa Pacific would come right back with three runs in the top of the 8th to put them up 11-6. The game would end 11-8 in a victory for Azusa Pacific University. CSUSM does not have a football team, but by looking at the score of the second game of the week for the Cougars, some may make think otherwise. Scoring at least one run in every inning, the Cougars beat Principia 24-3 in complete domination. Principia lead the game off with two runs to take the lead. The Cougars blew the game open in the bottom of the 2nd, lead by a grand slam by 3b Coleman. Scoring eight runs in the 2nd, the Cougars were up 10-2 already. SP Chris Skaalen would pick up his second win of the year going 4 innings giving up two earned runs on four hits while striking out four. In the bottom of the fourth, Way continued his hot streak with a grand slam which was the second of the game for the Cougars. The Cougars' record improves to 11-14-1 on the season. The Cougars travel t o Point Loma today, before playing host to Bethany University this weekend.

ELáfis i t M M i Photo by Tim Moore / The Pride perfect internet streaming BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer In this vast world of technological advancement, the live streaming of sporting events is a task not to be taken lightly. It is an undertaking that requires mass amounts of bandwidth and a dedicated repair staff. Rarely is the art of making sports available to the masses done right. NCAA.com, in association with CBS has done it right. Throughout the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, NCAA.com is streaming games live and 100% free. The concept is great, and the execution is even better. The service caters primarily to those in professional environments, locked away from access to a television during one of the best times on the snorting calendar. The interface features the fabled "boss button" for the paranoid employee. The "boss button" transforms the interface into a mock-spreadsheet, instantly giving office-wandering superiors the security of productivity, or so they . think. The service also comes in handy when more than one game is in play. CBS choses what games they will show region by region. For instance* in Sunday's secoiid-round matchups, San Diego's CBS affiliate KFMB showed nearly exclusive coverage of USD's game with Western Kentucky. Near the end of the game, USD was trailing by double-digits with under 30-seconds left on the clock. The game was clearly out of reach for the Toreros, however, because of geographic restrictions KFMB aired the game to the final buzzer, which lasted around five minutes because of timeouts and fouls. During this time, #10 seed Davidson was in the process of upsetting the #2 seed Georgetown. A few clicks was all it took for viewers to have access to the Georgetown, Davidson game online. Before, accessing the online coverage, users must first log in with a CBSSports.com, CBSNews.com, CBS.com, CBSGames: com, TheShowBuzz.com, or NCAAsports.com username and password. The interface of the service is simple and responsive. A pre-roll short advertisement plays before the user's initial selection, and after that, the only additional advertisements are the normal commercial breaks. The video quality in full-screen mode is comparable to that of the television broadcast. The only drawback to the service is a buffer delay (around one minute) from the actual live game. NCAA .com and CBS have offered the services for f ree that other leagues charge premiums for. The service is giving people what they want, and it is a win-win for all parties involved. CBS is projecting advertising revenues of at least $21 million, some $10 million more than 2007's tournament. �What happens on spring break doesn't stay on spring break Wcfcr urges youth to consider sta:s BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Spring Break '08 is a home stretch away and with that comes the necessary proactive safety advice from the campus, family and friends. Many just looking to "don't worry be happy" for a week may mistake concern for annoyance, believe rules aré meant to be broken, and consider those cautious as 'square.' Warnings can only go so far—in one ear and out the other, but the truth doesn't lie. Jennifer Wider, M.D., author of The Doctor's Complete College Girls' Health Guide: From Sex to Drugs to the Freshman 15, warns college girls of the possible repercussions of activities that ensue during a stereotypical college Spring Break vacation. Alcohol, drug use, and promiscuous sexual activity can leád to sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, overdose, and serious health problems. "An American Medical Association survey of college students found that 83 percent agree that Spring Break trips involve more or heavier drinking than typical college life," says Wider, M.D. "Almost threequarters of the surveyed students acknowledged that increased sexual activity takes place on these trips—70 percent know friends who were sexually active with more than one partner on Spring Break. STDs and pregnancy are two very real risks of spontaneous sex that have lasting consequences after the trip ends." Information mentioned by Wider originated from an online survey of 644 women age 17-35 conducted from Feb. 27-March 1, 2006. Wider adds that the only 100 percent preventative measure against an STD or unplanned pregnancy is abstinence; how- it later, and be aware of surroundings at all ever, youth should prepare themselves in the time. event they do have sex during Spring Break.

How San Diego is getting overlooked BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Have you ever heard of a movie called "Blindsight"? No. What about one called "The Band's Visit"? Still nothing? How about "Contempt"? All right, so you haven't heard of any of these movies, that's fine - neither have I, to be honest. They are only the top rated movies on www.rottentomatoes.com, so why should we have heard of them? Well that is why we should have , heard of them. If they are the most popular recently released movies - wouldn't you think they'd be in all the major cities across California? Wrong. These "popular" movies, even though they are currently dubbed the most popular movies in the nation, NONE of them have found their way down to the San Diego area. I am a big fan of going to the moyie$, and I'm an even bigger fan of road trips - but I am NOT a fan of having to go on a road trip just to see a movie, which is exactly what I'd have to do if I wanted to see these . "popular" films. Some of these movies look quite entertaining and I would absolutely love to see them, but I don't want to drive for a few hours j ust so that 1 can sit and watch a movie for 2 hours. Now, I live in Orange County - and going to La-L.A.land is a drive for me, so I completely understand how much worse it is for everyone down here in San Diego County. So I guess if we want to see "Blindsight", " The Band's Visit", "Contempt", "Jar City", or "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly", we are j ust going to have to plan a road trip. We'd have*to head up to L.A. to see most of these. For some, however, we'd have to drive all the way up to the glorious misty air of the San Francisco Bay area. But for even some others - we would have to enjoy a delightful flight all the way to good old New York City. So why aren't these " great" movies playing in our major cities? I don't know, perhaps someone should write a letter to the Motion Picture Association of America. We could say that we aren't upset. We could tell them that we are JUST DISAPPOINTED - that will zing 'em! �w on't put y ou to s leep BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer A s I w alked u p t o t he d oorman/ b ouncer and p aid my $5 t o get i n, he a sked w ho I w as t here t o s ee.

Images cmrtesyofg^apyn^com Photo by Ross Lichtman / The Pride �Pride Staff Writer Don't be fooled. A movie with the promised antics of Jack Black may sound tempting, but this is one comedy that doesn't fulfill its intended purpose. Jerry (Jack Black) is a junkyard worker who attempts to destroy an electrical plant that he believes is reading his mind. But when his plan goes sour, his magne tized body ends up erasing all the tapes in his friend Mike's (Dante 'Mos D ef Smith) video store, conveniently named Be Kind Rewind. With a store full of blank videotapes, Jerry and-Mike embark on a not-so adventurous journey to remake some of the most memorable movies of our time. The ironic idea in this disappointing movie is that some of the best and most memorable movies are being remade, which just begs you to ask yourself the question: Why aren't I watching those movies right now? Considering this is a comedy, I found myself NOT laughing 90% of the time. Don't get me wrong, the remakes that the protagonists made were amateurishly comedic, but the entire movie just failed to move the audience emotionally. The remade movies, although humorous, failed to be consistent and plentiful enough to act as a driving force in the film. While Jack Black's performance was usual Jack Black as always, Mos Def came across as a little slow and boring, and that is definitely something that comedies are not about. With somewhat bland characters and an even duller story, "Be Kind Rewind" fails to hook the audience with its scarcity of laughter. Chances are you'd be better off staying at home and listening to your Tenacious D CDs. Photos courtesy Photo courtesy Abbot Genser/New Line Cinema Stone Imperial Russian Stout BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Stone Brewery brews and bottles Stone Imperial Russian Stout in Escondido, California. The brewery originally opened in San Marcos in 1996. In 2006, the company moved to a new facility in Escondido to better meet product demand. The current facility is capable of producing of up to 250,000 barrels. Stone Brewery should be in Escondido for an extended amount of time. The brown glass bottle holds 22 fluid ^ ^ H ounces. A gargoyle wearing a ^ ^ ^ f ur cap ad or n e d with a star, no d oubt a throwback to Imperial Russia, squats holding a mug of stout. The bottle has a bright blue outline while a foggy white outlines the gargoyle. A shiny gold glazed bottle cap, featuring the company's logo in black stencil, caps a bottle with an alcohol by volume of 10.8%. The double than average AVB is characteristic of Imperial Russian Stouts, which often have ABVs of 10-11% The stout retails for $5.99 at BevMo. The stout pours chunky — a rich black liquid fills the glass. A thin head forms and disappears quickly. The stout radiates a gothic blackish-purplish color. Coffeelike aromas seep into the surrounding air. The murky stout first attacks the tongue. A subtle tingling sensation spreads throughout the taste buds. The stout gathers intensity during the peak of consumption and finishes off the rest of the oral cavity like a Jackie Chan fight scene. The stout leaves a powerful rolling wave of energy as the stout descends below. The lips smack in joy and demand more. Stone Imperial Russian Stout should be consumed leisurely in a relaxing environment to fully experience the adventure.Unwind during spring break with this week's stout. If considering the stout, visit a local BevMo quickly as the stout is scheduled to disappear after spring. Have a f un and safe spring break, Cougars! OneRepublic "Dreaming Out Loud" BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Thirteen tracks of juicy vocals and teasing guitar—OneRepublic's "Dreaming Out Loud" is sizzling. A scintillating blend of what falls easily on the ears as a mixture of The Fray, Maroon 5, Keane, and Snow Patrol, "Dreaming Out Loud", off Interscope Records, is heating up the charts and the airwaves across the nation. "Dreaming Out Loud," moved from slot 45 last week, to slot 20 this week on Billboard's Hot 200 albums. The single "Apologize" featuring Timbaland is #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart, and "Stop and Stare" is up three spots to the #9 song on Billboard's Pop chart, and is also #9 on iTunes' Top 100 Songs. Not only that, but "Apologize" is the #17 most downloaded ring tone in the nation this week, falling in between "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band and "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. The album opener, "Say (All I Need)," is a scenic ballad with a techno flare, promptly followed up by "Mercy" which was most recently featured on the March 13 episode of "Smallville," along with "Apologize" and "Stop and Stare." Following "Mercy" is "Stop and Stare"—which stops me in my tracks everytime I hear it. It's that good. Then comes "Apologize," and there really isn't that much to say about this track other than it's amazing and catchy. "Goodbye Apathy" which falls directly after "Stop and Stare" and "Apologize", mirrors The Fray's sound so closely, it could most definitely be mistaken for a track like "Little House" off their last album, "How to Save A Life." Track 7, "Tyrant," brings to mind "Erlkonig" by Franz Shubert with it's pounding one note intro, and it definitely isn't the strongest track on the album, but it is apparent they were trying something different, as this track has a little more of a U2 and Bon Jovi vibe. "Prodigal" starts out slower, and leads in with creeping vocals that could be compared to Snow Patrol and Keane as the song slowly builds into a full-blown pacing rock song with a hint of the Beatles, circa "I am the Walrus" era. * "Won't Stop" has a bit more of a Nashville feel to it, with violins and percussive elements accompanied by a confident steel guitar and curious piano interludes. "Someone to Save You" and "All We Are" sound pretty much the same, except for the really lame sounding drum intro on "Someone to Save You." Except for those two tracks and "Tyrant," the rest of the album is solid, and even though the "Timbaland featuring OneRepublic" version of "Apologize" rocks, I have no doubt they could have made it to the top without his help.

Now Cal State San Marcos will dedicate a statue in his honor. A fter his death in 1993, students and faculty at CSUSM began a signature campaign to recognize and honor Chavez by renaming the Academic Hall in his honor. San Fransisco State University's request to rename its student union building in Chavez's honor was granted first. The California State University system prevents two campuses from naming a building after the same person. The signature campaign was revived at Cal State San Marcos to dedicate another part of the campus to commemorate Chavez's contributions to-national and state life. After a competition, two local artists — T.J. Dixon and James Nelson — were selected and commissioned to design and create a bronze statue of Chavez. The statue will be unveiled and dedicated on March 31, 1997 from 11 a .m.to 1:30 p.m. Local dignitaries, university officials, and members of Chavez's family will be in attendance. A week-long festival of celebratory events has been planned beginning March 31 and ending April 4. The winner of a po- etry and essay contest will read his work during the dedication. Chavez's single-minded d edication t o t ransform t he l ives of C alifornia's migrant agricultural workers touched the hearts and minds of the nation as well as those of his home state, California. At the age of 10, a bank foreclosed on his family's farm, and his life as migrant farm worker began. When he reached the eighth grade, he had to leave school to help support his family. From 1945 to 1948, he served in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific.

So what happens when humans gain the power to clone other humans? On Feb. 23, Ian Wilmut, a Scottish scientist, announced his successful cloning of a Finn Dorset sheep. Once the news about the cloning of a m onkey b ecame p ublic, P resident Clinton addressed the nation on television, stating that the government would not fund further research on human cloning. The question now: Can we keep the human-cloning genie in the bottle? Some CSUSM professors don't believe that the United States government can resist the temptation to experiment. From the English Department, Pro- Pride staff writer Pamela Sivula asked students and staff around campus for their opinion on the ethics of cloning. Here are some of the responses. "I think cloning should be allowed. I w ould l ove t o b e cloned, especially if I would live forever — or if my clone would live forever. Cloning shouldn't be regulated [by the government]. I w ould w ant t o b e c loned a t my b est times, get rid of me, and keep the clone. I am not aware of how much it would cost to be cloned. But if there is any advantage, you have to make it available to everybody, regardless of what their economic status is."

Pride Staff Writer What does searching the grass f or red and green toothpicks have to d o with science? Students in the teaching credential program are designing activities that involve elementary s chool s tudents with s cience and f amiliarize themselves with materials b efore they discover how those objects relate to s cientific concepts. The activity allows students to be active first, to do somethiqg hands-on, without first having t o be passive and listen to the teacher explain concepts. A fter discovering on their own t hat the red toothpicks are easier to find, elementary school students learn about c amouflage in nature. Credential candidates in the Science Education in the Elementary School course design such activities t o get e lementary-school s tudents i nvolved in science and develop a curiosity about s cientific concepts. "The children a re given the hands-on material first so that they can play with it and f amiliarize themselves with it," student Lisa Bennet explained. " After they have a while to experiment and discover it f or themselves, the teacher then tells them what it is they are doing, and why they are doing i t." In this process, o r learning cycle, elementary-school children build a knowledge of the materials b efore the cpncepts are explained. "Learning cycle modes of instruction are in line with the Science Framework f or C alifornia Public Schools, and with the National Science Education S tandards," said L isa Van Veen, another participant in the program.

As way of an introduction, you should know that these patrol members share a common gummy bond. They are students and faculty who have been stuck on campus, not due to a transportation problem, but be cause they have stepped on a wad of d iscarded c hewing gum, leaving them hopelessly glued on a stair or sidewalk. After studying gum littered areas such as Craven Hall's stairs and the area in front of the men's and women's restrooms on the first floor of the ACD building, the patrol's finding suggests that most gum chewers tend to be social in nature, as evidenced by the many wads of colors discarded in the same vicinity. It is for this reason that some of the victims have been attacked by more than one wad at a time. For victims of multiple attacks, you can hear their mournful wailing echoing f rom the walls of Craven Hall as they struggle to unglue their shoe. Or you may notice people emerging from Craven Hall, w earing o nly o ne s hoe, c lipping and clopping along, eyes focused on the ground as they try to avoid any more of the fresh, juicy pink, gray or black blobs indiscriminately displayed oft the concrete. Observe carefully and you might see the gummed shoe held in the owner's hand displaying the same ugly art. I t's t acky—people s ticking to the ground, especially since two custodians devote almost 15 percent of their work day scraping gum remains, sweeping up cigarette butts, and wiping up coffee and soda spills . CSUSM also hires eight students from Sierra Vista School to help keep our campus as clean as possible. Supervisors need to cruise the campus searching for victims and wad zones. You can almost feel their frustration because it's a never-ending process. While students and faculty enjoy semester breaks, the Facilities Department breaks out the high pressure water equipment and power washes the offending areas as best they can. It's not a commercial— gum and stains don't all magically disappear—and scraping off old, soggy gum is yucky. The Gum Shoe Patrol participants acknowledge that not all gum chewers dispose of their gum improperly. For some, all it takes is a reminder that the laige, green containers dotting CSUSM sidewalks are for trash-—including gum. Sometimes people just need to realize that they are guests on CSUSM's campus and that they have a responsibility to the school, community and taxpayers to be good citizens. Be responsible and pick up after yourself. After all, it is your school, be proud of it. Pride Staff Writer The University provides support to 25 to 30 students certified with various learning disabilities (LD), accordong to Joh Segoria, director of Disabled Student Services. Unlike the physically handicapping conditions, LD is not visible, even to the effected person. Most of the students are served by Disabled Student Services. 4 The problem is getting Freshmen to come in," said Segoria. His office attempts to reach incoming students through various media including the Student Affairs Council, the Educational Opportunities Program and letters included in the campus orientation package. According to a pamphlet on the subject from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), students with LD often hear statements like "you seem so intelligent" and "you don't look handicapped." Such statements typify pervasive attitudes that make getting help for "hidden handicaps" so difficult LD leaves no disfigurement As such, it invites little understanding and few offers^of support.

And though many of us here may have expected a downhill slide to normality this semester, we have yet to be delivered such. I for one was ready for a semester of recovery from the blatant racist stuff. But the Fairs drama spilled over into this semester with racist leaflets strewn across the parking lot during the audit from the Chancellor's office, which was designed specifically to m easure the university's effectiveness in dealing with such things. It was a prefect opportunity for the administration to show its grit, with eyes from Long Beach alongside. More graffiti and swastika printed flyers have shown up here and there since then. I wonder if many even take the time to notice anymore. While such blatant acts should not be ignored, it is time that the campus began focusing on other topics. A large bronze statue of Cesar Chavez will be presented next week in its permanent standing ground atop the stairs from the new student parking lot. A week-long celebration will accompany its dedication — perhaps the campus can rejoice in what it has achieved for a little while. W hile r acist e vents of t he p ast f ew months may have tarnished Cal State San Marcos' image, such an event demonstrates this campus-community's solidity. Associated Students Inc. elections, coming off a horrid voter and candidate turnout from last year, are set for April 21 and 22. The Pride will be interviewing candidates and detailing a fee increase that will be on the ballot. The students' interest in improving this campus will be evident one election day. Free dialup internet access may soon be a thing of the past. Proposals have already been made to begin charging students for use, while further limiting access. Such things may be necessary to deal with an increasing student population. And an increased student population makes classrooms all the plumper. It is time that this campus puts the past months behind us. Remember what has happened and focus on this campus' future. West Coast Community Newspapers Letters to the editor are welcome.

Thuxsday, Munch 27, 1997 Group needs to drop the Aryan not, change your name; condemn the actions of the feebleminded in your group who will only continue to embarrass you and renounce your connections with the fascist traditions of Nazism. When you understand how glorious our history is, perhaps you will think twice before desecrating it by associating yourselves with such institutions. It is not Adolf Hitler and the Aryan Student Union that I look u p to, but Winston Churchill and the great traditions of the British Empire. I trust that the great majority of other whites here in the United States and around the world feel the same way. We will regard you with scorn and contempt for dishonoring and besmirching the reputation of this institution if you continue with your present course of action. "Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice ofjustice when it mattered most that made it possible for evil to triumph," said Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie before the United Nations General Assembly, 1963. Are you prepared to join the ranks of those cowardlyfiguresin history who just sat back while evil acts were committed against the weak and defenseless? Indeed the hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who refuse to take sides. We who sit here today are the beneficiaries of the millions ofAmericans who have fought and died and lived to make this country what it is. The question today is: "Where are all of us students at this university and citizens of this country going to be when we are asked to step out and say what we stand for?" I am writing this letter in response to one published in 2/27 issue by the president and vice president of the Aryan Student Union. In it, they expressed concern that: "While nonAryan persons have been allowed to show pride and solidarity on issues affecting their race and culture, we are excluded from all forms of expression on our campus and were even smeared openly." The letter said that they were forced to "use illegal symbolisms to redress their grievances" due to their inhibited expression, though the group's leadership "did not condone the acts of those who might be connected to us." The president and vice president of the Aryan Student Union have missed the point entirely. While they are proud of their "white heritage," they congregate under a name which conjures the images ofAdolf Hitler and the Nazi Third Reich. Is it any wonder why they are not given the opportunity to participate in educated and professional discourse? Does the Asian Student Association identify with the imperialist Japanese government that slaughtered thousands of Americans at Pearl Harbor? Does the Mexican-American Student Alliance celebrate the Spanish conquerors who destroyed civilizations in Central-America? Of course not. They focus only on the positive contributions their groups have made in years since. And they should be recognized, as this is what diversity is all about.

Garcia also commented that she "can' t see any benefit to cloning humans at this point in time." On the opposite end of the spectrum is Professor Durig, a sociologist strongly opposed to the idea. "Who is in charge, who decides right from wrong?" Durig expressed his fear at the possibility of human cloning. "It is scary when people in power create the functions for everyone else in society." Durig asked "Why do it? Who is it going to serve?" Durig touched on the possibility of a creation of a dominant race. Who could stop those in power from creating more like them? The idea of cloning and its impact on humankind will not be fully understood until it becomes a part of histoiy. "I am against cloning. Animals should have a right to breed on their own and like they naturally would. If they do not breed [naturally], they could be artificially inseminated. Cloning would be taking away their individualism, and animals are individuals.

"As far as humans go, I don't think [cloning] is an ethical way to go because you run into all kinds of issues: Why would you want to clone humans?

When he could not convince the CSO to organize farm workers, he gave up his first full-time paid job to devote all of his efforts to building a nucleus of farm workers. In 1962, he founded the National Farm Workers Association in Delano.

He also emphasized how impressed he was that the administrators were so courteous to them. However, Jauregui thought that he would b e fine, so he returned t o classes shortly after the incident. The Pressure Builds In the beginning of November, Jauregui decided to take President Gonzalez up on his offer because he said he "was shaking, breaking out in sweats" and could not go any further. Jauregui claims he went to see Kuchler, who sent him to Martinez, who sent him to, at the time of the events, Assistant Dean of Students Mary Wordell to take incompletes in his classes. Jauregui emphasized that Wordell was "very nice, said how can she help, and was very nurturing." When he explained his situation and mentioned that President Gonzalez had said it would be taken care of, Jauregui claims that Wordell said, "That's not policy." When Jauregui responded that the withdrawal policy was in the 1998-99 CSUSM General Catalog, Wordell told him to speak to his professors to get permission to take incompletes. Two of Jauregui's professors agreed to give him incompletes. Sociology professor, John Schneider, did not. According to Jauregui, Wordell told him that if all the teachers would not agree, he would be unable to take any incompletes for that semester. According to the General Catalog for 2000-01, an incomplete grade "signifies that a portion of required coursework has not been completed and evaluated in the prescribed time period due to unforeseen, but fully justified reasons and that there is still a possibility of earning credit. It is the responsibility of the student to bring pertinent information to the instructor and to reach agreement on the means by which the remaining course requirements will be satisfied." The catalog does not state that all teaphers must agree. Within a week of his meeting with Wordell, Jauregui went back to speak with his professors. Professor Schneider again refused to give him any incompletes. During the same week, his girlfriend had spinal surgery in order to f use her spine so she could walk again. "I was a wreck, crying, praying every day in my non-religious way to let the poor girl walk." Jauregui said that he was so upset over the events that he gave in and told Wordell he would take all withdrawals instead of incompletes on his transcript.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Poullard replaced the late Kuchler as Dean of Students so Jauregui met with him. Jauregui said that Poullard told him nothing could be done about his problem. Dean Poullard declined an interview with The Pride, stating it was unethical for him to discuss any student's issues. J auregui T akes C ase t o D epartment o f E ducation In thp fall of 2000, Jauregui reenrolled and began taking classes. However, due to his clinical depression, he said he became physically ill whenever he stepped foot on campus. Having spent two years trying to resolve his issue, Jauregui decided to take his case to the Department of Education. On November 20, 2000, Jauregui explained his situation to Mary Ann Hollins, a financial aid investigator for the Department of Education O ffice of Civil Rights. After hearing his argument, Jauregui said that Hollins explained that the situation was considered a hostile environment and that CSUSM had failed to accommodate him. An attorney for the Department of Education, Lynda Galloway explained to Jauregui that for his case he has "to prove »Article continues on page 4 New Sidewalks in Place >>Article cont. from pg. 1 you think about people's physical safety at night," said Segoria. Segoria explained that some of the funding for the sidewalks came from the Minor Capital Improvement budget. Twenty to twenty-five percent of this budget serves to fund greater accessibility in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Some of that ADA funding was used for the construction of the sidewalks. The Minor Capital Improvement budget and ADA funding also financed the power doors on campus. Segoria said that these accessibility improvements benefit everyone on campus. "Look who i^ses the power doors, not just disabled students, but individuals in computing wheeling around computers, faculty, facilities staff, parents with their children, students with lots of books," said Segoria. Building codes, given the dimensions and incline of the. path, required the handrails and flat regions along the sidewalk. "It was ideally supposed to be done before the semester began, but on account of how wet it has been, there was a bit of a setback," explained Seward. "It should be completed in a matter of days."

There are informative articles as well, such as "How much sick leave does Dick Cheney get?" These articles respond to readers' questions and address issues that other periodicals may not generally cover, such as Vice President Cheney's health. The layout of the site is pretty simple: the major explained that the company is also constructing the additional staff parking lot and the below ground water storage tank for the campus simultaneously. The importance of the sidewalk project for Segoria was not limited to the increase of general campus accessibility. "One concern that I had was that students would be walking in the streets or the bike lane, or in the dirt when it was muddy and wet," said Segoria. "Having a sidewalk is not only much safer; it is actually much more visually appealing for visitors to the campus. For donors who come to campus, it just looks better." articles of the day are headlines with pictures in the center of the page, more detail categorizations of articles are listed below, and there are pull-down menus for past articles.

Medea B enjamin also spoke Thursday evening. Benjamin, who ran for U.S. Senate last year representing the Green Party, is also the " founding member of the San Franciscobased h uman rights organization Global Exchange," according to the UCSD College Greens. The topic of the event was the energy crisis in California and the means t o r ectify the situation. The College Greens proposed solutions that included using renewable energy sources such as solar power. A fter the opening presentations were over, Ralph Nader according to Nader, is to change the state of a ffairs in the realm of energy consumption and cost by voting and exercising your "civic self." W hen asked about solar-powered energy, Nader responded that it had been around for a long time, "So w hat's the h old-up?" When asked about his opinion on the place of minorities in the Green Party, Nader said, "We'd love t o have minorities r un f or o ffice, they should stop playing the role of the victim.

Throughout h is speech, Nader made references to "civic self-respect and civic selfconfidence." He defined these t erms as a person's civic responsibility to take control of his/her community by the rights of the civic-self. " When you go home t onight... stand by your bed and say 'civic motivation' ten times," Nader told the audience. He also told the audience to tell themselves, " Fm gonna pick it [civicself] u p ...

The way t o achieve t rue democracy in California, Second High School Shooting Encourages More Campus Security By N ATHAN FIELDS Pride Feature Editor Last Thursday, 18-year-old G ranite Hills High School senior, Jason H offman, opened fire in f ront of h is school administration o ffice. H offman wounded f our students before being shot in the f ace and b uttocks by Richard A gundez, Jr., a n ELCajon police o fficer on campus. T he incident o ccurred less t han t hree weeks a fter a student at Santana High School, six miles away f rom G ranite Hills, shot and killed t wo students and wounded t hirteen students and f aculty on March 5. I n a w ritten message t o police o fficers, H offman admitted that h is target w as vice principal Dan Barnes. H e blamed B arnes for t he school's attendance policy that H offman thought prevented h im f rom being admitted t o the Navy. Jiovani Guerrero, a f ormer Granite Hills student who knew H offman, suspected that he might have targeted Barnes because "he [ Hoffman] w as m ad . .. h e w asn't getting all the credits h e needed t o g raduate.'" H offman had reportedly attended special education classes in the past due to a learning disability. Barnes said that he had directed H offman towards anger management classes the previous two years. O fficer A gundez' presence on campus was a result of the high school's increased security following the Santana incident. Police officials report that officers will r emain on area high school campuses indefinitely. Although Agundez is considered to b e a hero by many students, parents and school officials, he is still under police investigation in accordance with t he policy for an o fficer's involvement in any shooting. T hursday's shootings were not f atal, and school and law e nforcement o fficials say they w ere more prepared for such occurrences because of the Santana High School shootings. Despite greater awareness and preparedness, many individuals c an't help feeling more exposed. " I feel even more vulnerable t his time with it happening so close again, and I 'm sure the students do, too," said Rich Alderson, principal at Rancho Buena Vista High School, as quoted in the N orth County Times. G ranite Hills High School protected its students by using its newly implemented "lock-down" program, created a fter t he recent shootings at Santana High School. The "lock-down" requires that students b e locked in classrooms in case of a violent incident at the school until a police force evaluates that the campus is safe. N orth county high schools similarly responded to Thursday's shootings by heightening security on their campuses to prevent any immediate "copycat" shootings. Various schools, including elementary, middle and high schools, closed t emporarily or suspended students for m aking violent threats towards their campus. Additionally, area school districts are intensifying their violence prevention programs. AH school districts in San Diego County and many in Riverside County w ho are not already using such precautionary measures are considering implementing surveillance cameras, a greater police presence on campuses and cell phone or e-mail alert systems for students and a dministrators. Grossmont Union High School District Superintendent Granger Ward said, "All options are being considered t o bolster campus safety in the wake of The Host of Alternative and Traditional Healthcare Dr. Andrea Cole-Raub Board Certified Family Practice Board Certified Anti-Aging Medicine "Schools are a reflection of our society... everything bleeds into everything else." -Robert Paul English Teacher at RBVHS Thursday's attack." Those options could include metal detectors, a stronger police presence, more guidance counselors and closing campuses to visitors. San Diego County District Attorney Paul P fingst said at a news conference Friday that "any threats, whether verbal or written, will b e prosecuted to the f ull extent of the law." Every high school in San Diego County has adopted this "zero-tolerance" policy. However not everyone agrees these measures are the answer. " I don't t hink we should have fences because i t'll feel like a prison," said 16-year-old Granite Hills HS sophomore April Keifer. " I j ust t hink we need t o b e more cautious a bout how we talk t o people and make more f riends than enemies." Carlsbad High School sophomore, Teresa Culchen, though acknowledging the importance of "tight security," was concerned that " the policing of students might go t oo far." Culchen said that events like these "might have happened as a result of k ids not feeling f ree somehow... and I t hink a lot of these reactionary measures might make that feeling worse f or some people." Robert Paul, an English teacher at Rancho Buena Vista High School, recognized that t his isn't a new phenomenon. " Minority k ids have b een shooting each other for years, but now when white kids start doing it more, people really take notice " Paul agreed with statements made by o fficials that school campuses.are still the safest plac. es f or groups of kids t o be, but added that "Schools a re a r eflection of our society - anything that happens at school happens all around us.

Martinez sent him a letter denying his request for paperwork on March 21,2001. Jauregui states that the letter includes a statement saying "that Gonzalez claims to have never visited the hospital, but is aware that others have." Jauregui notes that he "has several witnesses to his visitation. They can and will testify that he [Gonzalez] on three occasions made the same comments." Patty Bailey stayed by her daughter's side the entire time she was in the hospital and remembers the day President Gonzalez and others visited. "I remember he visited with three ladies right before my daughter was going into surgery," said Bailey, "They were supportive and felt really bad about everything that had happened. They offered to help us with anything that we needed." President Gonzalez was unavailable to be reached for comment. > At the meeting between Martinez arid Jauregui on March 15, Martinez advised Jauregui to speak with Cherine Heckman of Enrollment Services. According to Jauregui, nothing was resolved at- the March 21meeting with Heckman, but she promised in writing that she would perform "an investigation of classes and contact [Jauregui] with the information [she] gathers." Heckman will then provide him with the options available to him. As of March 27, Jauregui is still waiting to find out what will happen with his class credits. Jauregui is no longer taking classes at Cal State San Marcos but continues to work on his case with the Department of Education and hopes to find a resolution.

But, by the time Spearling finished her presentation, several of the listeners said that the issues that she had spoken on had affected their lives. The emphasis of Spearling's presentation was tolerance. Rather than being close minded to people that have different sexual preferences than oneself, she told the audience to become more aware of how hurtful a person's words, actions and attitudes can be, and how much of an impact they can have on someone's life. Spearling also touched on the prejudices that people have, not only with LGBTQs, but also with sorority women, fraternity men and other minority groups. Spearling encouraged the listeners to overcome their fears, attempt to accept people for who they are, look past their prejudices, and to think before they speak. "We need to be aware of others around us, and celebrate their differences," said Spearling.

The all-day conference included- a keynote address by Sandra McBrayer. Ninety-four potential students crammed into r oom 102 of Academic Hall t o hear McBrayer speak about the importance of education. McBrayer holds the position as the Executive Director of the Children's Initiative of San Diego and was the 1994 National Teacher of the Year.

She stressed the importance of using all t he resources necessary to graduate. Presentations f rom Student Support Services and Academic Advising also demonstrated t o the visiting students how CSUSM could help them accomplish their goals of receiving their degrees. Lorena Meza, chairperson of the event and also the Associate Director of the Educational Achievement and Retention Services, developed the conference in 1998.

Pride Staff Writer �6 Tuesday, Match 27, 2001 Slide into Liquid American C ulture Pitt and Roberts Star in Mediocre Film By LISA LIPSEY Pride Staff Writer The best thing about " The Mexican" is that the plot, f illed with humor, light romance and violence, h as potential. The f ilm stars Brad Pitt (Jerry Welbach) and Julia Roberts (Samantha Barzel). J erry's mob boss sends h im down t o Mexico, where he must f ind a g un called "The Mexican." Meanwhile, h is g irlfriend, Samantha, ends their relationship because of h is mob ties. On her way to Las Vegas, however, mobster Leroy (played by James Galdofini) takes Samantha hostage in order t o scare J erry into r eturning the pistol. W hile t rying t o r eturn over the border, Jerry r uns into trouble, possibly caused by the curse that is believed to travel with t he g un. The story j umps back and f orth f rom Las Vegas t o Mexico, and to the past and the present, all at the expense of the viewer's understanding. "The Mexican" h as several major disappointments. Stereotypes plague the dialogue, such as the idiot traveler who doesn't speak a word of Spanish. The high mortiality rate f rom all the g unfire was over-kill, and the audience could care less about Jerry because of the weak character development in this f ilm. The movie had its moments, such as the Vegas scenes and the relationship between Samantha and Leroy, but screenwriter J.H. Wyman should f ind himself a better editor. The movie is shot with lots of close-ups and c areful attention to background images. Director Gore Verbinski should b e proud of the casting; a fter all, Roberts and Pitt were cute, and f or half of the audience that was what seeing " The Mexican" was all about. " The Mexican" is rated R violence and language. ATB Kicks Off First U.S. Tour (Courtesy Photo/DJ ATB) By M ARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer Unpredictable, versatile, yet melodic are three words that describe the p erformance of the U K's own ATB as he kicked o ff his first United States t our for more t han 3 00 enthusiastic spectators at E St. Alley last Thursday night in downtown San Diego. " I cannot describe how h is music makes me feel right now," said J ennifer Hughes, a Communication m ajor at CSUSM and a f an of ATB. "He has this guitar sound that j ust takes me to another level." ATB, who is better known a s A ndre Tanneberger, i s a talented producer, artist and DJ f rom Germany. Tanneberger sold close t o 100,000 u nits f or his first album, Movin' Melodies since its release in October 1999, and has delivered t hree hit singles, " 9pm (Till I Come)," " Don't Stop," and " Killer/' Although recognized as a trance DJ, h is skills have brought h im the versatility to play all f orms o f dance music. "Sometimes I 'll play hard for a little groovy house and sometimes when I do my sets I 'll only play two of my songs because I enjoy t he work of other artists as well," said Tanneberger. A fter over a year of establishing a very strong following among t rance f ans all over the world, ATB's $econd album, Two Worlds, along with his first single, "The Fields of Love." His second album brought h im to the US on a three-week tour, which started here in San Diego and will end in New York City. " I will b e p erforming in Tucson on Friday, Denver on Saturday, and Seattle on Sunday," said Tanneberger. "I can tell it will be very exciting and very tiring. W hen the tour is done, I might b e able to get some sleep." While reflecting on past performances, Tanneberger commented that p erforming in f ront of hundreds of people can give an individual a great feeling and that he had never planned for his success. A fter seeing thfe j umping and screaming f ans at E St. Alley during his p erformance, Tanneberger's response seemed most appropriate.

So far, the local band has h a4 receptive audiences, playing at venues such as the Bob Marley Festival, Blind Melons, and Winston's. A group of seven musicians, Liquid American Culture h as been playing together since last April. "Eclectic" is the t erm that the b and's d rummer, CSUSM stu- dent Joe Vento, uses to describe their music. Vento explained that their sources of musical i nfluences include "electronic, j azz, f unk, Latin, p unk rock and hip-hop." Liquid American C ulture certainly has traces of these genres on the f ifteen tracks in its new CD, In a Life aLive. The track, "Blind," r eflects the b and's disdain for A merican culture. The song includes the lyrics, "And I was lost in w ants and needs/As are many Superhighway speed with soul descending/Over stressed in this city l ife f renzy." This lyrical style, which can b e described as f ree f orm, is reminiscent of the b eatnik p oetry of the 1960s, Several i nstruments are played, such as the keyboards, d rums, saxophone, upright b ass and f retless b ass, o ften accompanied b y spoken words. The saxophone and slow d rumming give the songs a laid-back, surreal feel. I f ound t he songs relaxing and m eaningful. "Thursday," one of my f avorite songs, is poignant and provocative. With strong j azz appeal, t he keyboard notes on the track sound like a m isty xainfall. I also liked the track "Restless," which f eatures lyrics of a tortured soul, " I've b een tossing, turning, g rinding m y t eeth, I c an't get no sleep, I c an't let you go." Liquid A merican Culture sold out its C Ds d uring the C D release and show at W inston's on March 18. By t he end of the month, its second C D w ill b e released in music stores such as Lou's Records, Music Trader and selected stores in San Diego. Student Discovers the Many Uses of the Library By DI A NNE H IRNING for The Pride A s a literature and writing student, my passion h as always been books. My view of the library system was limited; I simply found the books I needed a nd checked them out f rom the librarian behind the desk. I assumed that the sole j ob f unction of the librarian was to check books in and out of the library all day. A fter visiting with Marion Reid, the Dean of the CSUSM Library, I was astounded at my own naivete. According to Reid, libraries are no longer limited to providing books, now they are "information services." The library collection and the delivery of those collections become information science because of t he different formats involved. Information for one title may have multiple formats such as book, audiotape, computer data or video. The three most significant issues related to information services are the budget allotment between technology and books, information literacy among chil- xl-v dren and adults, and providing to seek i nformation. services for students.

Among the most joyous w inners was Best Actress Julia Roberts for her starring role in "Erin Brokovich" Her acceptance speech was long, f unny and spastic as ever.

"The tut6r made me realize different aspects of sentence structure, passive constructions and how to improve the style of my writing during the revision process. I thought my session was very helpful." The Writing Center, which opened February 19 for this spring semester, supports the campus-wide writing requirement. Many students have been making appointments at the center for 30-minute sessions to get help for their writing projects. A friend had advised Biology major Natalie Voehl to visit the Writing Center. "I had a wonderful experience. I needed someone else to look at my writing and point things put," says Voehl. "It's nice to have another set of eyes look at my paper. I am not an English major and the grammar check on my computer can only do so much. The tutor pointed out reyision tricks that I know will strengthen my paper and improve the final grade. I will be back " The tutors at the Writing Center are adept at helping students who may not know where to begin with their writing projects. Rachel Acfalle says that, "The tutors are very helpful during the brainstorming phase. They helped me with the analysis of the theme for my assignment. I think the most important thing is the personal attention you get at the Writing Center. Now I realize I am not alone during the writing process. And it's good to have my writing looked at by someone who is not my instructor," - , The Writing Center also encourages stu- dents whose primary language is not English to make appointments. Oliva Chavez, an ESL (English as a Second Language) student working on a sociology paper at the center says, "If there were no writing center I might be failing. The tutor helped to revise my paper. He helped me with vocabulary, analysis, grammar and syntax. I couldn't do it by myself. The tutors are friendly and helpful. They make me feel welcome. My visits to the Writing Center have been very positive and the tutors help me become a better writer, and that's the basic thing. I have to come more often." The tutors can also help students with writer's block. Robyn Tucknott, a GEW student and steady visitor to the Writing Center, says she had w riters block before she came to the writing center. Now she says that has changed. "It's good and relieves writer's block. I got to bounce ideas with my tutor and I don't feel like I'm alone iri the writing process," said Tucknott. She adds, "Sometimes, it feels like a drag to go to the appointment, but after the tutoring session, you realize you got a lot done. The tutor helped me expand my own thoughts about the assignment and also helped me with the revision process—helped me move things around to strengthen my paper. The tutors know the ins and outs of the revision process and know how to help you get started." Angela LuMaye, a GEW student, says that the variety of instruction provided by the tutors is important. "The tutors are helpful. Every tutor I've had so far has helped me in different ways than the other tutors I've seen. I find my tutoring sessions at the Writing Center very helpful because there are a lot of little questions I have about my writing and the tutors help answer those questions. It has been a really helpful experience."

By AMY BOLASKI Pride Staff Writer "The writing r equirement (at CSUSM) prepared me very well for graduate work; I knew I wouldn't have a difficult time because of CSUSM's emphasis on writing in an interdisciplinary fashion." While working on her doctorate, Keehn was an assistant teacher for creative writing and technical writing at UCSD, and she taught several English and literature courses for Palomar College. She was also the original director for the ASPIRE program at CSUSM, taught for the EOPS bridge program and continued her work in the Writing Center, in addition to having a baby. Her daughter Mikayla is now six, and her husband, Jeff Keehn, is also a graduate of CSUSM. This semester he is teaching Introduction to Literature at CSUSM. In 1998, she defended her dissertation, and returned to CSUSM in January 1999 to teach. She continues to direct the Writing Center and is also director for the General Education Writing (GEW) program, and teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses, including LTWR 525, a course designed to instruct students in college writing theory and practice. Those students tutor in the Writing Center each week as part of the course curriculum. "CSUSM has given me great opportunities to grow professionally * because I've had opportunities to direct these programs, and I hope to have a long, satisfying career here. I love interacting with the student body; they're here to do the same things I did while I was a student." FERPA Explained »Article cont.from page 5 required to sign an agreement that they understand the FERPA polices on campus. Grades in particular are a primary concern of faculty* Under FERPA policies, graded examinations and papers are not to be left outside professors' offices nor are student's grades to be posted outside a professor's office. Anything left out in the open and unattended with a student's grade, name and social security is a violation of FERPA regu- lation. Students are, for the most part, in control of their academic records. Challenges of educational records are also a right utider FERPA policies. As students are protected from unauthorized use of their records, FERPA also allows students to challenge aspects of their educational record as well. "Students havethe right to challenge any record they feel is incorrect," said Dean Poullard. If students feel that any part of their educa- tional record is incorrect or that the proper parties are not accurately informed of their records, students have the right to challenge their concerns through the proper channels. While most challenges and concerns are handled in the Office of Student Affairs on campus, the most severe of circumstances can be addressed to the U.S. Department of Education in Family Education and Privacy Act Office in Washington D C. �Sports Cougars Break School Records CSUSM Track Members (Courtesy Photo/Athletics) By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride S taff Writer "Overall, w e did well, t he weather w as decent a nd t his w as j ust the t hird meet.

Runners Face a Variety of Challenges O ff the Field By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride S taff Writer Most Saturdays, Cal State San Marcos athletes leave early in t he m orning and come back late at night, a fter competing in long, intensive races. T he track and field t eam practices every day, Monday t hru Thursday at 3 p.m. and Friday at 12:30 p.m. Saturdays a re race days a na Sundays they have recovery,runs at their own times. In addition to r unning and attending school to become f uture sports broadcasters, teachers and coaches, many of these student-athletes work. However these are the sacrifices that these athletes must m ake everyday. One of the many challenges they deal with is the shortage of facilities on campus. "We have t o change in Craven and people look at u s as if w e're weird," said sophomore Anthony Blacksher. "We have t o u se it as a locker room, since i t's closer t o the t rack," added sophomore Vanta Morrow, "It m akes those who see u s u ncomfortable and we also feel uncomfortable." A possible solution t o the lack of athletic facilities on campus is t he Clarke Field House scheduled f or completion in 2004. Although most of these (Top) Leslie Akers and Coach Keating (Right) Student Running (Pride Photos/Victoria Segall) athletes will graduate before that time, Assistant Track Coach Wes Williams Jr. said, " The Clark Field House will be a result of the success of the kids we have here." According to Head Coach Steve Scott, "One of the problems we face when we travel long distances is transportation. Although some athletes can drive themselves, when we t ry t o f eed fifty athletes in the school vans we j ust c an't, there are not enough. There is a big risk factor, since sometimes we have to rent a b us or find other ways to get there. Overall, we invest a lot of money in transportation." Aside from the challenges the track and field teams must overcome, Coach Scott said, "These challenges do not interfere with our eagerness to go out there and win." Although the athletics program is young and challenging, some of the r unners found this beneficial. "It is nice t o b e p art of this team because coaches pay more attention to athletes. Since CSUSM has a small team compared to other schools, there is more interaction among t he athletes and coaches, which is always good f or the athletes," said sophomore Lucinda Downey.

Lincoln kept the .: m f k ^ ^ y e ^ p f m m t the. opinions ' Tim Wise is a Nashville-based writer and activist. (Courtesy Photo/Tim Wise) By TIM WISE I can think of no other way to say this, so here goes: white people need to pull our heads out of our collective ass. Two more white children are dead and thirteen are injured, and another "nice" community is scratching its blonde head, utterly perplexed at how a school shooting the likes of the one yesterday in Santee, California could happen. A fter all, as the Mayor of the town said in an interview with CNN: "We're a solid town, a good town, with good kids, a good church-going town an Ail-American town." Yeah, well maybe that's the problem. I said this a fter Columbine and no one listened so I 'll say it again: white people live in an utter state of self-delusion. We think danger is black, brown and poor, and if we can j ust move f ar enough away f rom "those people" in the cities w e'll b e safe. If w e can just f ind an "AllAmerican" town, life will b e better, because "things like t his j ust doia't happen here." Well bullshit on that. In case you hadn't noticed, "here" is about the only place these kinds of things d o happen. Oh sure, there is plenty of violende in urban communities and schools. But mass murder; wholesale slaughter; take-a-gun-and-seehow-many-you can-kill kinda plishments, but they weren't uncommon. Unions have been started throughout history^ and we don't make a big deal about it. We don't celebrate Jimmy H offa day, so what's so important about Chavez that we would place him above Washington and Lincoln? The difference with Chavez is his ethnicity. Because he was Hispanic many have raised him up to the status of a saint. He is an icon* portrayed as a strong, peace-loving man. Try questioning this and you're liable to start a riot. In case you haven't noticed, he seems to be the patron saint of our small school. It's sacrilegious to speak ill of him here, and his granddaughter almost received a scholarship based on who her grandfather was. His bronzed image adorns our campus, students are staging a candlelight vigil on Wednesday, and some of our teachers have, put together a "lesson plan" t o teach us about h is life. Perhaps CSUSM should be changed to CSCC - Cal State Cesar Chavez. It's sad, and patronizing even, that we base greatness on ethnicity. If Chavez had been a white union leader we wouldn't bat an eyelash at him. But because he was Hispanic and he did something many others have done before, we celebrate him. The bar of greatness should be set at the same height for everyone - white, black or Hispanic. This kind of politically correct holiday making also cheap- ens the greatness of past leaders. What does it mean when an average accomplishment is put on the same scale as something great? Or when the great accomplishment isn't included at all? Consider that we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jrf every January. King was a great man. We don't celebrate him because he was black, but because he changed our society and the way we view ourselves. He did something beyond average - something that was never done before - and he changed the country. That is evidenced by how many people in this nation are able to quote him, and remember his leadership. He is a national hero. You can't say the same for Chavez - he shrinks in the shadow of King. Ask people living in Minnesota what they know about Cesar Chavez and the answer will be nothing. Kermit the Frog has made more of an impact on their lives. Of course, Chavez is a hero to the California f arming community, and if our state wants to have a holiday in his honor, f ine. But it's a stretch to put his contribution over Washington's and Lincoln's, and it's a disgrace that we don't mark these men when such hoopla is made of Chavez. If we are going to celebrate Chavez, and have h is image plastered everywhere, then we should do the same for the truly great Americans like Washington and Lincoln. It would do us well to celebrate Washington and Lincoln, to realize their impact on the world, and their contribution t o our way of life. A fter all, without their efforts Chavez would not have enjoyed the freedom to start his union and stand for California f arm workers. School Shootings and W hite Denial craziness seems made for those safe places: the white suburbs or rural communities. And yet once again, we hear the FBI insist there is no "profile" of a school shooter. Come again? White boy a fter white boy a fter white boy, with very few exceptions to that rule (and none in the mass shooting category), decides to use their classmates for target practice, and yet there is no profile? Imagine if all these killers had been black: would we still hesitate to put a racial face on the perpetrators? Doubtful. Indeed, if any black child in America—especially in the mostly white suburbs of Littleton, or Santee—were to openly discuss their plans to murder fellow students, as happened both at Columbine and now Santana High, you can bet your ass that somebody would have turned them in, and the cops would have beat a path t o their doorstep. But when whites discuss their murderous intentions, our stereotypes of what danger looks like cause us t o ignore it—they're j ust " talking" and won't really do anything. How many kids have to die before we rethink that nonsense? How many dazed and confused parents, mayors and sheriffs do we have to listen to, describing how "normal" and safe their community is, and how they j ust can't understand what went wrong? I 'll tell you what went wrong and it's not TV, rap music, video games or a lack of prayer in school. What went wrong is that white Americans decided t o ignore dysfunction and violence when it only affected other communities, and thereby blinded themselves to the inevitable creeping of chaos which never remains isolated too long. What affects the urban "ghetto" today will be coming to a Wal-Mart near you tomorrow, and unless you address the emptiness, pain, isolation and lack of hope felt by children of color and the poor, then don't be shocked when the support systems aren't there for your kids either. What went wrong is that we allowed ourselves to be lulled into a false sense of security by media representations of crime and violence that portray both as the province of those who are anything but white like us. We ignore the warning signs, because in our minds the warning signs don't live in our neigh- borhood, but across town, in that place where we lock our car doors on the rare occasion we have t o drive there. That false sense of security—the result of racist and classist stereotypes— then gets people killed. And still we act amazed.

A quick read through the mission statement found on the CSUSM website reveals that the creation of an academic community dedicated to excellence is a lofty goal. A goal that easily could be dismissed as a cliche, were it not for the combined effort of people united in vision. As a transfer student I viewed the university's state of the art, NCAA certified track and soccer field, and its price tag of 1.6 million, as superfluous spending that ought to have gone toward the construction of the new library. It was a sentiment, I might add, that is shared by many of my classmates. I remember that during student orientation the student L representative (mis)informed us that the reason we didn't have a library was due to a referendum. According to him, the student body voted to push the construction of the track ahead of the library. As a fledgling report- er who understands that everyone loves a scandal, it was with this unsubstantiated claim that I decided to investigate into the apparent misappropriation of funds needed for the fulfillment of my San Marcos Experience. A fter interviewing several people about the track vs. library situation, I quickly (and humbly) realized two things: (1) there has never been a c o n f 1 i c tf between the two building projects, (2) in no way has the CSUSM mission statement been betrayed by apathetic administrators. The fact of the matter is that the track and the new library are essential (i.e. mind and body) components of the San Marcos Experience. Though it is easy to see how the two can be confused and pitted against each other in a battle of priorities, the two are linked only in the holistic sense. The track/sports program was not state f unded/ All salaries for coaches, equipment, and the track itself came from generous donations and diligent fund raising. Trrmressive as the monev raised »Article cont. from page 10 else. Dysfunction is all around you, whether you choose to recognize it or not. According to the Centers for Disease Control, and Department of Health and Human Services, it is your children, and not those of the urban ghetto, „ wl%o are most likely to use drugs. That's right: white high school students are seven times more likely than blacks to have used cocaine; eight times more likely to have smoked crack; ten times more likely to have used LSD and seven times more likely to have used heroin. In fact, there are more white high school students who have used crystal methamphetamine (the most addictive drug on the streets) than there are black students who smoke cigarettes. What's more, white youth ages 12-17 are more likely to sell drugs: 34% more likely, in fact than their black counterparts. And it is white youth who are twice as likely to binge drink, and nearly twice as likely as blacks to drive drunk. And white males are twice as likely to bring a weapon to school as are black males. And yet I would bet a valued body part that there aren't 100 white people in Santee, California, or most any other "nice" community who have ever heard a single one of the statistics above. Even though they were collected by government agencies using these folks' tax money for the purpose. Because the media doesn't report on white dysfunction. A few years ago, U.S. News ran a story entitled: "A Shocking Look at Blacks and Crime." Yet never have they or any other news outlet discussed the "shocking" whiteness of these shoot-em-ups. Indeed, every time m^dia commentators discuss the similarities in these crimes they mention that the shooters were boys, they were loners, they got picked on, but never do they seem to notice a certain highly visible melanin deficiency. Color-blind, I guess. White-blind i s more like it, as I figure these folks would spot color mighty damn quick were some of it to stroll into their community. Santee's whiteness is so taken for granted by its residents that the Mayor, in that CNN interview, thought nothing of saying on the one hand that the town was 82 percent white, but on the other hand that "this is America." Well that isn't America, ; and it especially isn't California, where whites are only half of the population. This is a town that is removed from America, and yet its Mayor thinks they are the normal ones—-so much so that when asked about racial diversity, he replied that there weren't many of different "ethni-tis-tities." Not a word. Not even close. I'd like to think that after this one, people would wake up. Take note. Rethink their stereotypes of who the dangerous ones are. But deep down, I know better. The folks hitting the snooze button on this none-too-subtle alarm are my own people, after all, and I know their blindness like the back of my hand.

If the Letter to the Editors The library, on the other hand, has run a rockier course. The first obstacle came in 1992 when a bond measure was sent out to the California voters concerning the construction of future projects. The new library (worth $49 million) was just one of m any projects projposed in the measure. It unfortunately lacked voter support, and thus failed. In 1994 it met with the same disappointment. Since then the temporary library in Craven hall has taken many steps including the purchasing of online journals and academic publications in order to meet the growing need of students and faculty. During these years the administration was incessant in their lobbying for the new library despite comments from the Chancellor and legislative offices negating the need for a library in its traditional sense. collectively was, student involvement was needed to achieve the needed goal. Hence, a vote was put before the students concerning the track, however it had nothing to do with the library. The referendum (circa 1998), which passed with an overwhelming majority, was to increase student fees in order to support the CSUSM sports program. funnels down from the corners to the narrowness of the sidewalk. It reminds me of how fences narrow to a walkway and plank for loading cattle into trucks to ship them off to slaughter. This serves as an excellent reminder of the fact that CSUSM students are mindless sheep in need of the protection of CSUSM's benevolent administrators. Thank you, David Ludwig Such idealistic remarks concerning "the library of the future" (or in other words, everything being available online) were quickly dismissed by the CSUSM administration as unacceptable. Thanks to their tenacity, and a generous donation of two million dollars by Keith and Jean Kellog, the vision of a functional library to compliment the San Marcos Experience was never lost. 1998 brought the passing of a bond measure that provided monies for the construction of the library and other projects on this and other campuses, although the money wasn't turned over until the year 2000. The construction of the library is set to break ground right after graduation this spring and will be completed in 2003. Though I may never step foot in the building and benefit from its incredible technological design, I find consolation in knowing that at no point were my educational expectations higher than those of the administration.

Through understanding, education, compassion and communication we can meet at a place where we both take a step forward for our cause . . . Nah, forget it. It's much easier my way. I am right - you are wrong. Often we are so blinded by our own values, morals, and social perspective that we fail to see another's point of view clearly. More importantly, we may become so wrapped up in our cause that we often fail to see where we truly stand. We can become so devoted to a cause or idea that we do not realize that we have become extreme in our thinking. We slowly turn into "Extremist Bastards" without knowing about it. For many years, I failed to see^things clearly because I "knew" that "I was right." Only after carefully considering my perspective did I truly understand that I was building walls instead of bridges. It is tempting to return to that line of thinking, because requires much less work to see things from only one angle.

SEE, PARENTHOOD, P. 2 < Â0 �EDITORIAL STAFF Editors-in-Chief Amy Salisbury Sandra Chalmers csusmpride@ gmail .com News Editor Philip Mykel Flores newseditor.pride@gmail.com FROM, PARENTHOOD, P.l Opponents disagree, and according to www.theblaze.com, the bill's supporters are ultimately trying to deny women the reproductive health services they need. In a statement to NPR, Sarah Stoesz of Planned Parenthood Minnesota informed listeners that the majority of the company's services are for reproductive health, family planning and cancer screening. She added, "We're here to support women, to offer the health services and information that they need, and then to allow them to make the best choice for them." The Blaze article quoted Planned Parenthood president, Cecile Richards responding to the bill. "We've been here for the past 95 years, and we'll be here for the next 95." The article went on the add that the bill would make it harder for private sexual health organizations, like the one across "Not only are we compliant with all state and federal laws, but we are also in compliance with [state and federal health laws] as well." She went on to say that "students can feel confident that everything is kept confidential," adding, "We provide the same services as Planned Parenthood." from Cal State San Marcos, to provide sexual health services. In an interview with The Pride, Cathy Nguyen, a health educator at Student Health and Counseling Services, said that CSUSM student's fees and funding from the state of California would enable the organization to assist students in reproductive health should Planned Parenthood not be able. She added that students could feel comfortable that SHCS operates legally.

Secone in four Americans will end ond, drivers should move along up paying $5 or more per gallon smooth and easy, with no quick accelerations or stops. The DMV stated that "the faster you accelerate, the more gas you gorge." A driver should pay close attention to the flow of traffic and anticipate how much to accelerate. Although it maybe getting hotter outside, drivers should think twice before turning on the AC, because when in use, it increases gas consumption by 10 percent. Also, looking to roll down the windows to deal with the heat can actually be even worse than using the AC. According to the DMV, once a vehicle is going over 55 mph, the wind drag decreases fuel efficiency more than the AC. The vehicle's maintenance greatly affects fuel efficiency. A certified mechanic stated that cor-. rect tire pressure is essential for fuel efficiency, because the loss of 10 pounds of pressure equals a three to four percent drop in efficiency, Neglecting regular factory maintenance, such as oil and fuel filter changes, can also decrease efficiency up to 20 percent. How, when and where drivers gas up can greatly affect their ability to get the best usage and price for gas. Surprisingly, the early morning or nighttime hours are better times tofillthe tank because in cooler temperatures, gas is denser. This allows drivers to get more "bang for their buck" since gas stations measure by volume. The driver can also get the most out of their gas money by scouting out the cheapest gas prices.

Luckily, San Diego's beaches are not far from San Marcos, though none can compare to Rarotonga's picturesque coastline. With a newly acquired taste for fresh coconut milk, and the dis- covery of enjoyment in relaxing in town barefoot, Rarotonga inspired me. Delving into the culture and being a part of a royal wedding made me realize how truly fortunate I have been to see such interesting and beautiful sights. Photo courtesy of greenweetz £om R E L A X IN R A R O T O N G A Enjoy bare feet, exotic waters LEXI POLLARD PRIDE STAFF W RITER Never in my wildest traveling dreams did I imagine a weeklong trip to an island with a circumference of only 20 miles. This island, Rarotonga, captured my interest with not only its unique name but with its intriguing culture and landscape. Located in the Central-Southern Pacific Ocean, Rarotonga is an archipelago in the Cook Islands. My family and I happened to be on this remote island through an invitation to a special event: a wedding between my second cousin and the princess of Rarotonga. In November of 2002, my pre-teen American self met the laid-back nature of Rarotonga. Upon landing on the island, I thought the landscape to be similar to New Zealand with tropical trees and views of a crystal clear ocean. However, a tour in a Ze- bra-striped painted van proved me wrong. Green, luscious plantations covered the island, and I couldn't help but notice the locals walking along the side of the road. Every casually dressed Rarotongan lacked the same article of clothing: shoes. Later, I realized the barefoot trend revealed the island's relaxed atmosphere. Servers at the restaurant at our hotel were barefoot'as well, and what did I do? I indulged in this cultural phenomenon and walked around town barefoot, too. The most vivid image I carry is the pool at our hotel. I remember spending hours in the pool one day, which looked out over the vast ocean. The outskirts of the hotel were dotted with chickens and wild birds that begged for scraps of food. One of the most interesting sights was an abandoned hotel, with windows shattered and crumbling architecture. Its unkempt appearance stood testament to the island's gleefully disheveled personality. During one of the last days of my Rarotongan experience, my family and I attended the wedding of my second cousin and the princess of the island. The wedding, held on a scorching hot day on the white sands of a gorgeous beach, exemplified the culture's relaxed nature. The bride wore delicate sandals, and a flowing gown and presented herself with poise and grace. At the reception, the coconut trees intrigued my cousin and me. The groom helped us retrieve a single tropical seed from the tops of one of the towering trees. Although I attended a wedding on one of the most exotic places on Earth and found adventure on every corner of the island, I most enjoyed the time I spent relaxing. My cousin and I received pedicures at a local spa, lounged by the pool and casually walked around markets.

CAMP offers students from migrant laborer and farm worker backgrounds the opportunity to succeed in college. According to csusm.edu/camp, the national program has helped thousands of students accomplish their educational goals in a span of over thirty years. Ever since CSUSM was awarded the CAMP grant in 2002, the program has "offered students pre-college transition and first-year support services to help develop the skills needed to stay in school and successfully graduate from college." Many students have gone through CAMP and succeeded in obtaining a college degree. The spirit of Chavez's motto, "si se puede," rings true for these students as well as a ir CSUSM students who overcome challenges to improve their futures.

The highlight of my week, aside from avoiding any moving injuries, was the interesting afternoon I spent riding the Sprinter train. By midweek, I had settled in to my new place in Vista, leaving behind thefirsthalf of the semester and the long commute from Fallbrook to campus. Now I am less than a mile from the Vista Transit Center and about nine miles from campus. My main motivation for the move from Fallbrook to Vista was to save time commuting, gas, money, and^to avoid the stresses of driving in heavy traffic. What used to take a tank of gas per week will now take about one third of that. My new place is very convenient to everything I need. I can walk a half block to the nearest bus stop, less than a mile to the Sprinter, a light rail train running a span of 22 miles between Escondido and Oceanside, and back again, seven days a week with newly extended weekend hours. A single ride, one-way trip, costs $2 or $1 for seniors and disabled persons. A regional day pass is $5, entitling passengers the use of Sprinter, Breeze, Trolley and MTS regular buses all day long. CSUSM students can purchase a monthly pass for $29, valid on Sprinter and Breeze. Other discounts are also available. See the complete schedule of station locations, departure/arrival times, and ticket prices at www.GoNCTD.com. Most CSUSM students use the Sprinter to travel to and from campus, but I decided to explore my new surroundings by taking in all the stops and sights along the Sprinter rails. My excursion began with my parents at the Vista Transit Center at Santa Fe and East Vista Way, just off the 78 freeway, where we found plenty of parking and easily located the user-friendly Ticket Vending Machine (TVM). Free parking and TVMs are available at most Sprinter stations. We had no problems inserting our $15 cash for three tickets, but the machines do accept major credit cards and most debit cards. Passengers can also purchase a Compass Card: a refillable account card. Since the Vista station is about halfway down the line, we decided to head east to the end of the track in Escondido then turn around and ride the entire length of the track to Oceanside for lunch. The eastbound Sprinter departed on time at 10:56 a.m. I found the online schedule very comprehensive since the trains run about every half hour in both directions. It took 20 minutes to get to the CSUSM station, five stops away from Vista, which is exactly how long it takes me to drive it in good traffic. The walk from the Sprinter station to campus is about the same as walking from the X parking lot. Going East past CSUSM, there is only one stop before arriving at the Escondido Transit Center. Once we arrived in Escondido, the Sprinter switched over to the westbound track and we headed back toward Oceanside. The interior of the Sprinter was clean, and there was plenty of room for bikes, strollers, and luggage. The seats were comfortable with lots of legroom, and the windows provided a nice panoramic view of the springtime scenery. Passengers consisted of all age groups. Even the ticket taker was friendly. The stations were well maintained and seemed secure. We just sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed the 53-minute ride from Escondido to Oceanside with 15 stops along the way. The ride was so quiet we thought the Sprinter's power source must be electrical, especially given the name "light rail." It surprised me to find that a clean burning diesel engine powers the train. The Oceanside Transit Center is a major hub with connections to the Breeze, Coaster, AmTrak, Metrolink, and Greyhound. Passengers can travel on to popular destinations in San Diego County such as Balboa Park, PETCO Park, the zoo, Old Town, the airport or the far-reaching transit lines of AmTrak and Greyhound. There are also plenty of sights right in Oceanside including museums and restaurants within walking distance of the station, not to mention the Oceanside pier only four-blocks away. Since the weather was on the chilly side, we chose the closest place we could find: a little burger place near the Transit Store. The next time you need to be somewhere, whether commuting to campus, work, sightseeing, or spending a day at the beach, bring along your bike, your buddies, and enjoy the ride. You never know what can happen on a train!

GOLF TEAMS SETTLE FOR 7TH CSUSM men's golf has furiously outpaced expectations this year, racing to a #23 ranking behind captain and star Adam Loran. When they needed it most at the CBU Spring Break Intercollegiate, Loran came through once more—only this time his teammates kept pace. The loaded tournament's third and last round proved invaluable for the Cougars, who collectively shot 7 over par on the day, a fantastic result. Led by Loran's 71 (-1) and Robert Nicanor's 72 (E), the Cougars placed 7th in the field of 16, eight of whom were also ranked in the top 25. The women's team faced an even tougher challenge last week, traveling to San Luis Obispo to take part in the Lamkin Grip/Cal Poly Challenge. Coming off the high of winning their home tournament, the Lady CÖügar Invitational, and finishing 8th at the women's CBU Spring Break Intercollegiate, the LG/CPC allowed CSUSM to face off against NCAA-level golfers. The Lady Cougars could only muster a two-day score of 678, good for 7th out of nine. Lisa Copeland led the way with a second-day 79 to place 21st.

RODGERS SHINES AT SURF CHAMPIONSHIP ASHLEY DAY A&JE E DITOR Saturday, March 12 and Sunday, March 13, CSUSM's surf team traveled to Huntington Beach and competed in the National Scholastic' Surfing Association's (NSSA) Interscholastic State Championships. The A team came in 6th of 16, while the B team finished 13th, their best ranking of the season. The competition held a number of categories including, college men's, college women'^ and college longboard. A team longboarder and surf team treasurer, Mick Rodgers, excelled in the competition. He finished as the Runner-Up State Champion to SDSU's Jon Hoover. "[Rodgers] has been a contributor in many ways since day one of his involvement," Dr. Amber Puha, professor in the department of mathematics and surf team faculty advisor said. Rodgers, a senior, is finishing hisreignonCSUSM'steamstrong. He has been a member of the surf team since his freshman year. ' The A team shortboard women, Kaitlin Maguii^and Annie Howe, also had excépfipnal performances," Dr. Puha said. Maguire and Howe finished fourth and fifth , in the college womens round. CSUSM's surf team .started in January 2002. In 2009, our team won thè National Championship. Since its inception, the CSUSM surf team benefited from a steady flow of strong longboard competitors. Past surfers Dystin Franks, Chris Smith and Christian Clark contributed to putting CSUSM's surf team on, the map. Franks competed on the very first team and scored at least one State Championship. Smith earned the 2007 State Champion and Runner-Up National Champion and Clark seized the 2008 National Championship. "It's a really interesting phenomenon that's happened since the inception of the team. The longboarders really contribute a lot to the team points " Dr. Puha said. The surf team competes in three competitions in the fall and one in early January. To get involved with the surf team, you may tryout in early fall, approximately three weeks into the semester. There's a chance to make it onto either the A team, composed of the strongest surfers or the B team, consisting of surfers at all levels. Participating on the surf team is an excellent way to contribute to CSUSM and live up to the rich beach life San Diego offers. In addition, the surf team helps build bonds with other students. 'These students bond on the beach, and they create what seems to be lasting friendships that will go beyond their years at CSUSM," Dr. Puha said. Next season, MiraCosta College transfer student Ashley Aronson will be the next surf team captain. He will bring his surfing skills to CSUSM and hopefully can lead the surf team to another National Championship. Dr. Puha is excited to see what next season brings. CSUSM will send the A team to the National Championships in June. The NSSA National College Surfing Championships air on CBS Saturday, June 25 at 2 p.m. eastern time. Watch to see a representation of the CSUSM team fight for victory.

If anything, the experience of playing these games changes as one grows older, from that of imaginative fun to careful planning and strategy building. Pokémon is not the only franchise that caters to fans of all ages and certainly will not be the last. The wide distribution of merchandise, especially video games, opens the doors for connections amongst friends, fans and players from all over the world. The range of elements the games cater to, like tactics and strategy skills, meshes in an environment mixed with fun and social connectivity. These features make the Pokémon games worthwhile entertainment for kids and college students alike. "All in all, Pokémon has been something dear to everyone's hearts," Renteria continued. "Whether you play competitively or just for the fun of it, it's nice to see the inner-geek in everyone." 3 8 2 1 4 9 98 1 15 6 86 5 2 43 8 2 5 4 6 4 7 SEE ANSWERS ONLINE AT CSUSMPRIDE.COM Photo courtesy of buffcorp jcom U NIVERSITY OF S T .

ERIC O RDER U SED F J§ MANNEQUIN SICKEST KIDS Photo courtesy offlickr.com RADIOHEAD AMY SALISBURY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF I've had a very long, happy relationship with Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, and Phil Selway. And my boyfriend is usually okay with it. Years and years of faithfulness fueled my love for everything those aforementioned men of Radiohead created, but I don't know how I feel right now. People change. So do bands. In fact, a few years ago, Radiohead broke from their record label and announced they would pursue self-released work. They maintain that their work is entirely selfproduced as well, although the American record label TBD will soon be the parent who released two Radiohead albums stateside: "In Rainbows" in 2007 and "The King of Limbs" May 9, 2011. "The King of Limbs" is already out there, though. More thafi a month ago, "Limbs" songs started appearing all over the Internet as Radiohead made the album available for download on their merch website, radiohead.com/deadairspace, and kingoflimbs.com. After learning that I could listen to this album at my leisure, I sort of chose not to. The gossip surrounding this "different" incarnation of Radiohead and its reception was disheartening to say the least. I imagined "The King of Limbs" was a modern incarnation of when Bob Dylan went electric; some people loved it, and some people hated it. I also imaged that "The King of Limbs" wouldn't be as impressive as "Kid A" or "Hail to the Thief," but I can't pin down what made me think that. Perhaps that thought had something to do with the Radiohead heresy floating around the minds of (current and And guess what: I dug it. I can't former) band devotees.

The owners named El Dorado for the enchanted and mythical "Lost City of Gold" and this bar plays a similar role in San Diego as it's a little hard to find, but once you do, it's like striking gold in the rush of downtown. El Dorado hosts an array of live musical performances, ranging from bluegrass to electro, and has a dance floor packed with goofy and groovy 20-somethings who seem to care more about having a good time and less about getting in your pants. The crowd seems like an Urban Outfitters catalogue came to life, threw a dance party and everybody's invited. This Thursday, March 31 the bar hosts a "Mustache Party" featuring live bands, and Friday, April 1 is '90s night. The bar offers Happy Hour specials (including $5 cocktails and discounted draft beers) every night until 9 p.m. El Dorado serves its cus- tomers a selection o f^^^geasonal cockdrinks, |>eer on tap in the ottle nd -x* LOUNGE clubs. The bartenders dress a little bit like grown-up newsboys, but their get-ups only contribute more to the eccentric atmosphere of El Dorado with its retro booths, funky chandeliers and unusual wall hangings.

BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Ouch, tough question. There are so many temptations out there during, and especially a fter, a relationship is over. Maybe you have a thing for that one girl with the brown eyes in your Human Sexuality class (yes, ironic, I know), . or that boy with the spiky hair in your American Literature course, or that girl with the hump back or third nipple in your Anthropology class (not really, but could you imagine?). D isclaimer: Ivan Garcia does not condone the violation or the use of visual, physical, or informational exploration in or out of class to obtain visual, physical, or informational proof as to the existence of a third nipple. As I 'm sure you read about in my last article (you read it right? I mean, you'd really hurt me if you didn't read it), recovering f rom a relationship is your first priority. Never are you to put yourself or your potential p artner at risk of getting hurt or in a position to not receive your f ull commitment. Make sure you're ready to commit again, don't j ust go f or a " booty call," otherwise I 'll find you and kick you in the face. Make sure to b e r espectful, take your time, but also understand that you can't wait too long. You never know when something amazing might pass you by. Obviously if you j ust got out of a 2 or 3 year relationship (for example), take the appropriate time you need to get things straightened out with your ex, establish a support network or f riends and family, then move on. If you do so happen to find that special someone again, make sure that person knows and understands your past relationship and how you're feeling about it now. Please don't tell them that you're t otally ready to "do it" when in reality all you do when you get home is crawl in your bed, f orm a fetal position, and cry. Number 1, I 'm sure that'd b e a little creepy and sad. A nd 2, w ell... you must have been dating Legolas or Chuck Norris or something for you to b e that depressed. Let me set up a scenario, you (yes, you) j ust got out of a 3-year relationship. Your partner was the one that initiated the break-up and you still love them. Staying at home and looking at old vacation photos in which you both visited the world's largest ball of y arn isn't your cup of tea. On a side note, if you do do that, then be happy that y'all broke up because that sounds REALLY boring. A nyways, so what is l eft to do when you c an't forget about her/him? C ommunicate with people, learn their personalities, m ake a real connection, and h opefully something f antastic can flourish. Just r emember that that recovery solution sure as hell i sn't going out and having v arying sexual encounters with many d ifferent people. Sex should b e a connection between t wo people that love each other, so something tells me that yelling out C had's name while violently humping Tyler might b e a problem, t here's no recovering f rom that. I t's like p utting your dick into a bucket of ice cream, you can spend all day t rying to convince someone that it's still p erfectly good ice c ream, but i t's not going t o m atter BECAUSE YOU STUCK YOUR DICK I N IT!

Belligerence, b ooze, blondes BY KAT BRANDT Pride Staff Writer Every night at 10 o'clock at the University Village Apartments, two resident advisors suit up with a blue binder and do two sets of rounds. Rounds consists of checking every door in the dorms to see if it's locked, reminding hyperactive Freshmen that quiet hours commence at 10 p.m., and hoping that the nightly rounds will be without incident. On one such innocent night, David Skora and I were walking the halls at the UVA. Not two floors in we come up to a door that is reverberating with voices and music. Skora and I look at each other and knock, but to no surprise, there is no answer. We ring the doorbell repeatedly, and suddenly the place goes dead quiet. I kid you not, from inside we hear, "Shhhhh! It's the RAs!" * Bathroom doors open and close (hide!). Cabinets shudder as they are slammed shut (hide the booze!). The front door is barely cracked opened, and one sheepish guy tries telling us that there isn't a problem. After a quick head count, we find that there are twenty-three guests—and all for one resident. The guests filed out the door, but one blonde, drunken guest came back for the phone that she had left behind. Her bulg- ing purse clanked with cans, and Skora asks her to please take out all the beer (eighteen cans). Curse words flowed out of her mouth as seamlessly as the Coors Light flowed into the sink. Our resident director asked me to call UPD, and while I was doing so the belligerent blonde ran off and crouched in some bushes. She was chased by UPD, caught, questioned, and then handed over to a friend. After all the excitement and verbal abuse, Skora and I go on to find five more parties, filled with under-aged drinkers, cursing their being found out. Being a resident advisor doesn't mean that we're out to bust residents—we're looking out for their best interest, their health and safety. We take on this position to make sure that residents get the most out of their college experience, and in the process, we accumulate some hilarious stories. Making an impact C SUSM students reach out to Escondido youth t o work w ith a real l ife situation, instead of the 'what i f scenarios that are created by a text book or a professor that involves a simple Google search. We are interacting and working with real life people and real life situations. Overall its great because we are making a difference in the community while we get a great education." Dr. Sun says the semester project will help the creation and deployment of multimedia to achieve business goals via marketing and communication that requires proficiency in computer graphics, digital audio, digital video, and tools which allows the integration of a variety of file types into a coherent presentation experience. This course will also teach CSUSM students how to work in teams and complete complex projects. The program's overall purpose is to bring out awareness and make a difference in our community. MIS students are making a video to help out, but anyone can get involved. Escondido Impact needs volunteers to help coach and organize events. If students are interested, they can contact Dave Luevanos, at escondidoimpact@ yahoo.com or 760-219-5594. "The announcement regarding today's request for input at the Academic Affairs Town Hall was sent out by the Academic Senate Study Group which is comprised of four faculty members, a student, a student affairs staff member, and an administrator. The Academic Senate Study Group is seeking feedback and input from students, staff and faculty at the Academic Affairs Town Hall." Since other campuses in San Diego like SDSU and USD have ROTC programs, some people find it surprising that a North County campus has not offered this option. "I find it hard to believe, considering the amount of Marines who come through here," said Michael Dominick, who works at the Veteran's Service office at Palomar College. "You would think that with the proximity to the base in Oceanside, one of [the campuses] would have a program set up by now. It confused me when I applied here just coming out of the Marine Corp." So far, not even Mira Costa College, which is located in Oceanside, has offered ROTC courses for any branch of service. The introduction of these courses offers a lot of choices to the Cal State San Marcos campus. If introduced, it could mean a lot of money and funding, for both the physical structures and the academic curriculum. Many more students looking to apply to college could consider Cal State as a wellrounded campus. On the other hand, the conflict between policies cannot be ignored. It also presents a chance for our students to make an impact on the real world. This dispute could act as a microcosm, and whichever way we solve it, will have applications in the real world. CSUSM students are helping students who are less fortunate. Dr. Yi Sun's Multimedia in Business (MIS 427) students are creating a benefit video for Mission School's Soccer Academy. The Mission Soccer Academy, now in its second year, is becoming the Escondido Impact. Escondido Impact is hoping to reach out to less fortunate students and to the entire Mission Park Community with the help of CSUSM's According to Escondido Impact volunteers, the program's main purpose is to help students discover the road to success. Dr. Sun said, "Some of my students have expressed to me that they grew up in a similar environment. I think it's a very noble project. I think what our students are doing is noble, volunteering their free time to help these kids." The program has made an enormous impact on the lives of many kids already. By proving academic support and mentoring, all of the student's involved in the program All of the students have a GPA of a 3.0 or higher. These students had less than a 2.0 average before the program's introduction. Now they cannot wait to get to high school and continue on to college. The benefit video's creation is free of charge. Dr. Sun explains that the program does not receive enough funding to be able to pay for a project like this. "We don't charge. We provide a service and at the same time our students learn from this experience." Carlos Reyes, one of the participating students, said, "It's exciting M IS students. n ow h ave t he m eans t o s ucceed.

The Academic Senate, who will use student feedback from both the meeting and comments submitted online, will address these concerns as they make their decision. "The Academic Senate's Curriculum Committee will make a recommendation whether or not ROTC courses should be offered at CSUSM, and their recommendation goes to the Academic Senate for a vote," said Cathy Baur, Associate Vice President of the Communication department, where the Academic Senate is located. BY GABRIELA MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer R OTC controversy draws to a close Feb. 24, 2009 - A public forum was held in Markstein Hall during U-hour to take student comments on the ROTC issue on campus. Last week, the Pride featured a story outlining CSUSM's proposal to include ROTC courses along with the standard curriculum. The proposal to add ROTC courses was originally created by the Academic Senate's Curriculum Committee. The issue with this proposal is that the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy con- UniversityVoice Photos by Priscilla George/Pride Staff Writer // How do you feel about the preacher here on campus?"

"I have my own beliefs but I would hear them out at least» I think they would be good for someone looking for something to believe in or maybe are unsure." "Personally I avoided him because he made me feel a bit uncomfortable. The way he delivers [his message] should be nicer to people, less intimidating." "I think its cool that in college, people of all difference beliefs can come together. However» I think [he] has not been going about informing people of his religion the right way."

For creating such a staple in American pop c ulture, most c ouldn't even recall the f ull name of the man behind these iconic c haracters and children's books. Even Google changed its faceplate this past Monday, March 2, to honor the b irthday and legacy of the late Theodor ' Ted" Seuss Geisel, more commonly known as Dr. Seuss. The Random House website dedicated to all things Seuss related, Seussville.com, contains a c olorful biography on the author. Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Geisel credited his mother f or his famous rhyming technique. His mother, who worked in a pie bakery in her youth, used to chant the pie names to customers and in t urn, would use the same chants like nursery rhymes to calm Geisel when he had trouble sleeping.

Geisel then confessed that Oxford denied his fellowship and his f ather had to round up his savings to send to Oxford anyways. While attending Oxford with intentions to become a professor, classmate Helen Palmer noticed Geisel doodling during class. She told him that he should become an artist instead of a professor. Geisel took the advise to heart and pursued his career in art and w hen he was caught t hrowing a party created cartoon style t raining f ilms for the U.S. Army. A fter the war, Geisel continued publishing his cartoons in various magazines but he also had a desire to write as well. His f irst few attempts were met with rejection or little acclaim. " The Cat in the H at" gave Geisel notability and skyrocketed his career as a children's book writer and illustrator. Some of his other famous books include "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish," "Hop on Pop," and "Horton Hears a W ho!" Geisel died in San Diego, CA on September 24, 1991. In 1995, UCSD renamed its University Library Building, Geisel Library in his honor. This past December, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver inducted Geisel in the California Hall of Fame located at The California Museum for History, Women, and the A rts in Sacramento.

The Programming Council includes departments such as Associated Students, Inc., Athletics, The Clarke Field House/University Student Union, Student Health & Counseling Services, Student Life & Leadership, University Village Apartments, among others. One of the main purposes of the Programming Council is to come together to develop a calendar showcasing student events that connect to the campus. Recently, three students, Emily Rehm, Nicholas Stein and Sean Richards started to collaborate with the Programming Council to feature a brand new student news show that presents campus events. Cougar News Network (CNN) is CSUSM's student news show. Rehm, Stein, and Richards currently work for CNN. Rehm and Stein both anchor the news show under the personalities of Locksley Choz and Dusty Butterworks. While Richards, as Jet Michaels, mainly reports on campus events. CNN is currently doing a monthly episode featuring highlights around campus life. The Pride had the opportunity to interview two of CNN stars, Dusty Butterworks and Jet Michaels. Diana: What does CNN stand for? Dusty: CNN stands for Cougar Jet: News Dusty: Network Diana: How do you come up with the idea? Dusty: Well actually Nick Stein is in the Orientation Team and they did a video on the Orientation Team where they were newscasters and it kind of sprouted off that with someone that works down in the studio at the library he kind of had a good idea for us to start a student news show.

The graphic novel inspired film "Watchmen" hits theaters this week and is the only film going to wide release. It appears other films makers Arts & Entertainment are not willing to challenge this film that the media has publicized for the past several months. Originally, movie makers-thought "Watchmen" tq be "un-filmable" because of its darker elements, yet fans of the comic books, which debuted in the mid-1980s, will get to see the film adaptation. The movie is a film adaptation of the tales of comic book super heroes. Unlike the typical Batman or Spiderman film version, "Watchmen" is dark and filled with violence and sex. Director Zach Snyder is responsible for other films based on graphic novels, such as "300." With him behind the reigns, I Tuesday; March 0 3, 2 009 expect a bloody, action-packed, and visually stunning film. The film promises to be entertaining for those who have not read the comic book as well. The story is about a group of superheroes seeking revenge for the death of a colleague set in a different version of society in 1985. Other than that, there is ntft much to say about the h andful of limited release films debuting this week. There are two foreign films, "12" and "Tokyo!," which might appeal to the artloving crowd. "12" has earned awards and acclaim, but may be too serious for the average filmgoer. The huge comic book fan base and slick advertising campaign will put "Watchmen" on top of 7 the box office. It has the potential to make a tremendous amount of money. Image courtesy of Warner Bros. W hat to see on DVD A post Valentine's D ay hangover BY BLAINE MOGIL Pride Staff Writer It is strange how t hings work out. On the week celebrating St. Valentines, no movies were in the queue that r eflected the h eart of the moment. T his week delivers broken h earts and broken people. Well, mostly j ust broken men. A fter watching these f ilms, I began to wonder, 'Are we men as a species truly so d efective?' While most women would likely answer yes, Tmly a t ruly h onest man would answer the same. So let's take a deeper look at this week's DVD selections f eaturing love and men at their worst. "My Name Is Bruce." This film stars cult movie star Bruce Campbell. Bruce does pretty much anything other than mainstream Hollywood fare. Bruce is the glue that holds together campy productions. His work ranges from the "Evil D ead" trilogy to cult classic television with "Xena: Warrior Princess," "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and h is own spin off of these shows "Jack of All Trades." He then he goes back to the big screen fighting mummies as Elvis Presley in "Bubba-HoTep." In this film Bruce portrays himself. J eff, one of Bruce's biggest fans, removes , a talisman f rom a m ineshaft entrance and in the process releases the dreaded Bean Curd Demon. Taylor Sharpe in his first movie role plays J eff, and fills the role j ust fine. With no idea where to t urn, or who to t urn to, Jeff kidnaps Bruce and drives him back to his small town in the middle of nowhere. J eff's mother Grace, played right in tune with the production by Grace Thorsen, is Bruce's foil and love interest. She exposes whatever flaw's there are in Bruce that he didn't already expose. As lightweight as this film is, the overall experience is a f un time. If you are a Bruce Campbell fan, you will have f un. If not, you'll probably have a good time too. What to See *** "My Best Friend's Girl." This f ilm opens in such a vile and o ffensive m anner that it openly dares you to t urn it o ff. Watching Dane Cook as the cretin lead character Sherman " Tank" Turner, you have to wonder how m ankind has survived. Tank is the foulest, r udest, boisterously s elf-centered, egotist to walk the f ace of the E arth. The f ilm dares you to stick it out, and I took the dare. The s ofter side of this f ilm was captured by the lovely Kate Hudson, in the role of Alexis. Alexis is not p erfect, she is not looking for love, and she is (over)actively being pursued by Dustin, played by Jason Biggs, Tank's cousin and roommate. Alexis has no romantic interest in Dustin at all. Although Dustin pursues heavily, it is to n o avail. It is time to call in Tank, the AntiHitch.Where Witt Smith would train men to be b etter men to win the girl, Tank is the t rain wreck that shows the girl how good her no good b oyfriend is. Nicely done is the typecasting of Alec Baldwin as Tank's father, who is a Professor of Women's Studies at the University. A well played ironic twist. This movie j ust happens to be a rollercoaster ride that delivers a rewarding experience. What to See, if you dare *** "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People," s tarring Simon Pegg.

BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer When the word "guerilla" is heard, it often conjures up images of war, violence, and sabotage. To use it to describe art and performance is not typically what springs to people's minds. However, a student run organization on campus called Dagnabit Productions is looking to change that. This organization is comprised of students who participate in Photos courtesy ofAriette Rosenbaum improvisational presentations. In these showings, they exhibit performance art and illustrations on campus. Their first performance, which took place last Tuesday in the dome, involved the members freezing in place for five f ull minutes at 12:30. Exactly five minutes later, they all began their normal routines once again. While impromptu performances like this may be interesting to watch and also create conversation, why would students do this? "Our goal is to promote performance, art and creativity on campus and to create a sense of community amongst the art students" said Arielle Rosenbaum, the organizer of the group. "We welcome all ideas about how to f urther the arts at CSUSM, from performance and art installations to political statements. Our group is mostly made up of art students, but we welcome students from all majors". With so many students walking around campus Photos courtesy ofArielle Rosenbaum with tunnel vision, why shouldn't things be shaken up a bit? This past Thursday, the group had her baby.

She felt herself shaking, small tremors encasing her body with an overwhelming sense of fear and anticipation. One trembling hand glided down the curve of her back and she arched back into its touch with an equally uneasy sigh. She moaned again as it settled on her hip, Edward's ghostly touch holding her steady. She heard herself moan Edwards name as he pushed into her, hips rising after the sensation, there was no discomfort just a rapid spreading glow. Bella felt the mattress shift as Edward climbed up behind her. Both of Edward's hands gripped Bella's hips, Bella felt the tremors running through Edward's body as he aligned himself. Bella felt an answering shudder in her own as Edward entered her. Bella felt the heat rise in the swell of her back as she pushed to meet Edward, eager and wanting, each met need only igniting a further desire. I've yet to determine whether it is of greater benefit for me to plug unknown musicians or just talk about who I want, famous or otherwise. Should I feel a moral inclination to promote starving artists with indiscernible smidgens of talent to equally starving college students? Well, probably, but what do I care if an album sells? I know I don't need to worry about Ane Brun's album selling. An impromptu trip to Lou's Records in Encinitas delivered a rack promising her latest album, Changing of the Seasons. I should mention that the rack was empty. Ane Brunvoll, better known as Ane Brun, is a Norwegian singer/songwriter and co-founder of DetErMine Records with The Tiny's Ellekari Larsson. She didn't take up music until she was about 21 years old, and she released her debut album, Spending Time with Morgan,fiveyears later in 2003. The album catapulted Brun into the European spotlight, garnering speed as it crossed the Atlantic and landed in America. Not until her third studio release, Changing of the Seasons, in 2008, did eyebrows truly raise across the pond. Photo courtesy ofJosephArthur.com I should be surprised to have seen this bare rack, but I'm not. I know exactly why this independently pressed album's allotment sold out in this little corner of the world. Ane Brun is appealing. She exudes candor like you might see in faces of green musi- cians on the streets playing for anyone who will* listen. But she's good. Think Nick Drake plus Bjork minus the depression and eccentricity. The album'sfirsttrack, "The Treehouse Song," is made of organic acoustics with a tempo guaranteed to induce some head nods. Shallow drums are the foundation for a reserved strum and bassline. Her clean soprano is rich with vibrato and layered harmonies, breathing a story of a lost lover's dream. As simple as Brun's compositions are, they haunt whatever minds they visit until their otherworldly business is finished. I should label Ane Brun as an Indie musician, the kind of musician you casually mention at a show in the hopes of collecting some street cred. I should wonder who bought those albums at Lou's, and if they realized what they bought. So, is she famous? Maybe not, but she should be.

"No Edward, don't stop," Bella forced her muscles to relax, pushed back a little, moaning again as she pressed herself against Edward. Bella smiled and rocked forward onto her knees a little, letting Edward slide from her body before slamming back against her, both of them moaning in tandem. "Don't need gentle," she breathed, arching her back intensifying each slide and thrust. She picked up the pace, rocking herself onto Edward until she felt his hand return to her hip, holding her in place as Edward took over. Edward's other hand stroked up Bella's spine tracing the lines of her back and intertwining themselves in a net of tangled locks. Bella felt her legs buckling as her climax built, low in her pelvis, a warm sensuous flame rising driven on by each relentless thrust inside her, lifting her to greater heights. She heard herself screaming, the headboard snapped under Edward's strength. They collapsed to the bed together and Bella turned in Edward's arms to lay her head in the crook of his neck.

North answered the question, "Why are some nations wealthier than others?" as part of the CSUSM Arts & Lecture Series. According to the official website of the Nobel Foundation, in 1993, North and fellow Economist Robert W. Fogle were co-recipients for the Nobel Prize. They won it "for having renewed research in economic history by applying economic theory and quantitative methods in order to explain economic and institutional change." Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, North was accepted to go to Harvard but opted to attend the University of California at Berkeley because his family had moved to San Francisco. In his college years he was actively involved in student liberal activities and was opposed to US involvement in World War II, until Hitler invaded the communist Soviet Union. His acceptance of Marxism in his college years helped North to build the argument about the importance of legal institutions, but he saw flaws in the ideology itself. Ideologies and belief systems can significantly slow down economies, according to North. He also reasons that governments don't always think rationally, and that many times their way of thinking affects the decisions they make about economic policy. North compared an economy to a football game. For example, in a football game there are formal and informal rules and the referees serve as enforcers of these rules, said North.

According to the documentary, the African American community admitted that they could have tried to better educate the voters about the possibility of being turned away at the polls. Following the movie, Rolison, using data obtained from the website of the American Civil Liberties Union, gave a brief overview of the 2000 election, explaining that 14.4 percent of the votes that were rejected came from African American voters, while only 1.6 percent were nonBlack. Byron added that according to www.gregpalast.com, voting precincts in Black areas were lacking in high quality voting technology, while in many white communities the technology was available and untouched. Advanced voting equipment ranges from the form of the voting ballot itself to new machines that are used to interpret or read/count the votes. from lectures, the floor was opened to questions. There were many questions from students, ranging in topic from the voting procedures, African Americans, and the current political situation in America, particularly with the ensuing war in Iraq. Rolison and Byron, as well as PAN member Erik Roper, were happy to give their opinions. This event was a unique opportunity to have two campus clubs join together, and to inform CSUSM students about an important aspect of recent American history. PAN can be reached via their website, www.csusm.edu/PAN, or at their weekly meetings on campus in ACD 308, every Tuesday at 4 p.m. The BSU holds weekly meetings at ACD 405 on Tuesdays from 3-4 p.m., and has a website at www.csusm.edu/bsu..

The reference to yelling and rowdiness is not an accidental interpolation. This is a quote from Nichole Jester, student leader for the IVCF, describing the fellowship's projected activities during their upcoming trip to Catalina. Jester took care to create an image of the IVCF and their mostly evangelical Christian members as friendly and outgoing and to deliberately smash the stereotype of Christians as dour and repressed zealots. to Jester, the IVCF is a vehicle through which Christians can socialize and support one another. IVCF student leader Darlene Rodriguez described the IVCF as a "place to be noticed," then went on to detail an informal grapevine that has grown up within the fellowship. "If a member has a problem, other members know and respond with help and encouragement". Rodriguez was* quick to distinguish this network from and ordinary gossip pipeline saying "members care about each other like a family." The concert will feature the wellknown Christian rock band Eso. The event is entitled "The Edge" and will also feature popular evangelist Ryan Pfeiffer and an unnamed opening act for Eso. During the upcoming spring break, the IVCF is sponsoring the aforementioned "rowdy" trip to Catalina. According to Jester and Rodriguez, the IVCF has their own private section of the island where they will stage, a week of activities centered on a study of the Gospel of Mark. Jester made it clear that the IVCF's activities are open to non-members and non-Christians. The IVCF wants to provide a drug and alcohol free environment in which all students can socialize. To the end of providing members with opportunities to socialize, the IVCF supports many activities. Last semester the fellowship sponsored a game night bonfire and a movie night, among other activities. On The upcoming Billy Graham March 7, the IVCF will sponsor crusade on May 8, 9, and 10 is Friendship and accessibility are recurrent themes within the a Christian music concert at another focus of the IVCF. The IVCF. At its core, according Calvary Chapel, San Marcos. IVCF is providing evangelism training for members in order to coincide with the event, as well as helping with event publicity and set-up. During the summer months some IVCF members will participate in mission trips that can take them to foreign nations such as China and Ethiopia. These mission trips also can include service in urban areas of the United States. Though theologically committed to Orthodox Pauline Christianity, the IVCF encourages anyone interested in the Bible and Christianity to attend their meetings and Bible studies. Jester welcomed members of other faiths to check out the IVCF. Both Jester and Rodriguez emphasized that the IVCF is an egalitarian organization where all members are encouraged to participate in leadership. The IVCF's membership contains both those who were raised in religious households and new converts. The group also cultivates ethnic and racial diversity. The IVCF fellowship meets on the Cal State San Marcos campus Mondays l-2pm, Tuesdays both 12-lpm and l-2pm. These meetings are held on the grass triangle between Craven Hall and University Hall on thefirstfloor. Wednesday meetings are held in University Hall 442 l-2pm. Meetings start with an informal social period, followed by a Bible study in which eveiyone present is encouraged to participate.

Red Cross Performs Emergency Services for Armed Forces By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer The recent deployment of service personnel from San Diegobased military bases has resulted in the simultaneous mobilization of another service, the Armed Forces Emergency' " Services" (AFES) at the San Diego/Imperial Counties chapter of the American Red Cross. Life goes on at home for the families of service people - spouses, sons, daughters, and other relatives - while they are stationed ¡overseas or in parts of the United States remote from their families. Life at home sometimes involves emergencies such as births, deaths, and other medical and legal emergencies, when it is critical that a family member in the armed services be notified.

The apartments are scheduled to open their doors in September, when 460 resident students will be invited to transform a once small commuter college into a 24-hour campus community. "The campus community will change greatly as a result of having students on campus all day and all year/' stated the director of Student Residential Life (SRL), Bridget Blansnshan. The University Village staff is working in connection with SRL and other departments of CSUSM, such as The Dome and parking services, J n order to prepare for this transition. When completed, the new student-housing complex will consist of three apartment buildings. Each building will house approximately 52 students on each of its three floors. Students will have the choice to live in either a two or four bedroom home, which they will share with three other roommates. Each apartment includes its own kitchen, two bathrooms, and a dining/living area. There are also laundry facilities located on each floor. eminent of campus housing will be responsible for looking out for the well being of the student residents at University Villages. In continued efforts to create a strong community among the residents, University Village plans to have specific programs that target new residents, which aim to ease their transition into college life and to living on their own. "We'll have a lot of incoming freshmen," explained Singer, as she discussed the programs that are planned for giving students instruction on simple things, such as laundry and cooking In conjunction with the three a nutritious meal.

The tedious act of leaving your home and paying $15 for a compact disk has been replaced by a few simple clicks of the mouse.

Full-Figured Diva Gets Booted in American Idol 2 By GERALD JONES Pride Staff Writer Just before the airing of the Feb. 11 show, Fox Television announced Franchelle "Frenchie" Davis was being kicked off of the contestant's list for American Idol 2. It had been revealed that the woman, now 23 years old, had posed nude at the age of 18 for an interactive childpornography website. From FrenchieY initial audition, she was said to be one of America's favorites and had a very good chance of being crowned "American Idol," despite not having the 'American Idol' look. th Before she was selected as a participant, she told the producers of the show about her past and made no secret about what she had been involved in. When background checks were done on each of the contestants, her short-lived career in pornography never showed up. At the time, the producers warned her that if media became aware of this, they would deal with it accordingly. Never did they make any mention of eliminating her from the show. No information was given on how they were going to deal with the issue if it was made public. Ms. Davis, who is currently a senior theater arts student at Howard University, stated, "I was 18 years old at the time and 3,000 miles away from home. But I simply refused to go back home without a college degree, and at the time it seemed like the best way to earn the money. I needed to continue my one of last year's finalists, education.

Many men and women define themselves by the definitions of one political ideal or another, and yet when the day of reckoning comes for their beliefs, they so quickly and radically change them. I'll be honest. I usually vote Republican. I also believe that affirmative action, in principle, is a good thing. I believe strongly in the importance and significance of the women's movement, and no, I did not vote for Bill Simon in the last election. So don't try to label me. It won't work. I lean far left of center on some issues, but I also have guns in my house. Maybe this allows me the freedom to be reasonable about politics. I recently asked someone (a liberal by most definitions) whose opinions I respect why there was so much opposition to President Bush's policy about Iraq. When Former President Clinton sent troops storming into Kosovo to take down Milosevic, no one complained. When Clinton ordered troops deployed to Somalia to try and end the oppression by vicious warlords, no one objected. So why is it that now there is so much resistance? Saddam Hussein slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people when he invaded Iran and Kuwait. He murdered a hundred thousand of his own people in order tofieldtest his chemical weapons. He destroyed his own ecosystem when he set the oil fields ablaze ten years ago, and he openly admits to wanting to occupy the entire gulf region and hold, single handedly, the world's largest supply of oil. We know he's a tyrant. Who cares about propaganda from either side at this point? Does the past mean nothing? Are Hussein's own words meaningless? Surely the global community did not give so much consideration to Milosevic and the Somali warlords! Her answer to me was that there is a certain level of anxiety, because of the current administration, that this proposed war with Iraq could be because of the oil. There is a suspicion about holdings in oil companies and ulterior motives on behalf of our current leaders. That doesn't necessarily mean that the left thinks it IS over the oil, but that it might be. I honestly don't under- So how is Hussein different stand the militant scrutiny and from Milosevic? For that matter, suspicion, but I can accept that. ' how is he different from a young Hitler? Before I came to CSUSM, I served in the US Navy. I didn't Why is it that the loudest like Clinton.

The solidarity of our nation and its people were more important to me. T heism in a n E volutionary S ociety By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride Staff Writer In another period, the belief that humans naturally evolved from a puddle of primordial ooze would have been absurd. The mere notion that once immaterial and purposeless ooze becoming a material and purpose-driven person would have been incongruous. However, in previous years the notion has survived and 'evolved' into the primary view of science. Science by definition is the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanations of phenomena. Science excludes everything but the material and the natural. You cannot study anything that is outside of natural processes. By means of science, you cannot study spirits or God because they are outside of the material and the natural. One would then objectively presume that through the venue of science alone, we could not know everything. According to the dominant view of science, this statement would be uneducated and short of thought. What is outside of science is outside of reality. The scientific processes are the only way we can really know anything. With this view, so engrained into the realm of Academia, it almost seems impossible to look at it any other way. Yet "more thari 47% of Americans believe in a Creator as well as 40% of Americans believing in God-Guided Evolutionary science," according to a January 1993 First Things article. You might ask: how is it that so many believe in a theistic evolution? Is it hard to distinguish between evolution and what it accepts to be fully naturalistic and outside the reach of a Creator? How are words used to transform the way we see the subject at hand? I believe much of it has to do with our unfamiliarity of the subject matter and the ambiguity of the terms' implication to society. Evolution: According to modern science, Natural Evolution is the random sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a species or taxonomic group of organisms; it fundamentally assumes that the foires , I of nature alone are adequate to explain everything that exists. It does not accept creation in a theistic sense. It only involves blind and purposeless processes. It cannot be a process in which God employed, due to employed purposeless matter. Random mutation and natural selection produce everything. Creation is an effort to give scientific support for the truth of the account of creation given in the Book of Genesis. It is the divine act, which, according to various religious and philosophical traditions, brought the world into existence. Theistic Evolution is an attempt to bridge the gap of Evolution and Creation; Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially the belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world and interpreting "scientific" discovery as God's pre-determiriing process. Why would this be so disturbing to the theist? Well, because it rules them out of the circle of the Intelligentsia since science can't explain God. What is inadequate evidence becomes evolutionary fact. So it is not that God does not exist, but that we wouldn't be able to know throughout scientific investigation. Following the guidelines of scientific investigation, God might as well not exist. Now that we have ruled God out of the question of origin, it can only be through random genetic changes and natural selection that we have come to exist. It is not because anybody has seen these changes, but that there is no other option available to science. God then becomes a cultural and moral icon. God becomes a subjective idea based on our personal feelings and not an objective authority based on the way God created human nature. One of the leading proponents, of evolution; Stephen J. Gould writes in Science magazine: "I regard the both religion and evolution as of equal dignity and limitless contracts. They don't conflict because science treats the factual reality while religion struggles with human morality." He quotes science and religion as SEPARATE but EQUAL. Yet the undeniable fact is: someone is left sitting in the back of the bus. I MTO H IGH G EAR!

A quick check on the US Department of Justice website reveals that, contrary to what is indicated in the article, "...an ability to read, write, and speak English" is, in fact, a prerequisite for becoming a naturalized citizen. Here are links to relevant websites: http://www.ins.usdoj .gov/graphics/ services/natz/ http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/ services/natz/general.htm The U.S. has also subsidized the war efforts of Israeli terrorists who commit atrocious acts against Palestinians. The U.S. supplies Columbian paramilitary forces that have subsequently eliminated thirty thousand dissidents. Supporting terrorism in the name of democracy is reprehensible. Furthermore, Saddam never kicked the U.N. inspectors out of Iraq, as it was actually the U.S. who asked the inspectors to leave Iraq in 1998 when our extensive bombing raids , eradicated a schoolhouse full of 400 children. screwing over veterans like Mr. Dobbins on their "guaranteed" benefits, and an administration full of chicken-hawks clamoring for war that are intent on world domination, he has convinced the people to support his unnecessary, unjustifiable, unprecedented "war on terrorism," which magically shifts its boundaries to encompass all those he deems terrorists. Containment has worked thus far and worked to topple the Soviet Union, a far more dangerous enemy. We need to step up the inspection process and lift some of the economic and medical sanctions that have already caused half a million deaths in Iraq. Is a war that will surely destabilize the region, increasing the likelihood of more wars and terrorist attacks upon our nation really the best option? I think not. In a sense we as a nation are as guilty of terrorism as any other. So much for going out of our way to avoid killing innocent people. Bush has duped the American people.

We are not CSUSM's and ASI representatives have understood broadly representative of student interest. public relations but rather just CSUSM this. Since we are doing our best to become a legitimate source of news to the students, faculty, staff, and surrounding community at CSUSM, our efforts to teach our staff writers about the folkways of journalism must be respected. Don't put pressure on them to print your picture or run your story, just because you have them in class, or because they are your friends. And don't ask to see things before they are printed. It's unprofessional. We are doing the very best we can, with what we have, to be professional to the best of our capacity, and when members of the faculty and staff undermine that professionalism with favoritism, it messes with the whole process. So next time you think that The Pride doesn't cover things that are relevant to the campus, or you have a complaint that something is not being covered, why not send us a letter and tell us? Or better yet, join the staff and help to institute a change? Or if you have sent letters to our advisor or to the CSUSM director of communications, complaining about what's published in The Pride, you should send it to us, because after all, we are the editors. There are too many people on this campus —as in life— who like to complain about the 'way things are,' who are also unwilling to step up and accept the challenge to become part of the solution. Don't be one of them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

XIX NO. 7 Campus community unifies to oppose C SU budget cut BY ALEX HAND Pride Staff Writer The latest proposed cut of $386 million to the California State University budget has CSU students, faculty, and staff across California in an uproar. Approved by the CSU Board of Trustees for the 2008/2009 fiscal year, the cuts would force universities to t urn away more than 10,000 students statewide. The lack of funding would also force the system to once more increase student fees, lay off teachers, eliminate classes, and do away with many programs. Sprinter Light Rail launches this Sunday The entire CSU community has come together to fight for a common goal against the proposed budget cuts. Each of the 23 CSU campuses has launched a unified campaign that will begin in on March 3 at CSU Dominguez Hills. The following week, Mon. March 10, the second forum will take place at CSU San Marcos. CSUSM will hold its all-campus meeting on 1:00-2:00 p.m. in Arts 111. There will be media availability 30 minutes prior to each event. In hopes of "protecting the future of California" the cam- paign expects to prove the importance that CSU plays in the economy of California. Faculty, staff, and students alike will demonstrate that cuts to the CSU system would actually further damage the economy.

Built along the Escondido track of the San Diego Northern Railroad, the new service will be the f irst along the. tracks s ince the JSante Fe Railroad stopped passenger service in the area in 1946. The 22-mile long track, along the 78 freeway, will go through the cities of Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido, and includes stops near Palomar College and CSUSM. While the North County Transit District has discount passes available to students of Palomar and MiraCosta colleges, there is no such agreement for CSUSM students. Service from various locations starts between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Of particular interest to students: the last evening train westbound from CSUSM is at 7:41 p.m., while the last eastbound t rain departs at 9:16 p.m. Monthly passes are $54, or $2 for a day pass. With the current high price of gas, the Sprinter may help students save money.

C SUSM customer satisfaction results Survey responses show opinions of available facilities and services BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer Earlier this semester, Finance and Administrative Services conducted an online customer service survey on various departments around the university. The survey asked various students, staff, and faculty about their level of satisfaction and netted interesting figures. Anyone interested viewing the results in full can visit www.csusm.edu/bsc/0708sat. htm. The figures from the academic 2007/2008 annual survey had a wide number of categories ranging from topics such as facilities, maintenance, university police, financial aid, housing, and parking services. The idea behind conducting Tuesday, Mar. 4 31 Women in 31 Days Forum Plaza the survey was to have different departments meet and identify areas for improvement around university services. Departments put together action plans that outline some overall performances and upcoming plans to improve certain areas as well. Some of the more interesting results came specifically from University Village Apartments (UVA) and University Police. From a study done with 331 participants, 55% answered "don't know" concerning campus crime prevention presentations. To go along with Crime Prevention Programs such as "Cougar Watch," University Police Department (UPD) has been producing videos which are available at the UPD website. A University Police and Liaison Program will also be implemented to provide additional avenues for communication with campus committees, students, staff, and police. The survey also determined that the UVA staff is invested and helpful toward the students there. Of the approximate 160 participants of the survey, 80.1% believe that they are doing exceptional services in addressing personal and social growth. 70.6% of those surveyed agreed or strongly agreed that resident advisors demonstrated an honest commitment to student welfare and activities. According to UVA Director Brian Dawson, "When you treat people like adults, you are given choices to act freely. Some people thrive on that and based off the customer survey, the majority feel that way." 7:30 p.m. ASi and UVA Texas Hold'em Tournament SSiliiiiÄllI Thursday, Mar. 6 12:00 p.m. a* Women's HERstory in San ö tego UCI hosts forum for graduate education BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer On Sat. April 5, University of California, Irvine will host the California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education. There will be a bus departing from CSUSM to UCI available to students signedup to attend the event. Although the forum is f ree, the Career Center requires a [checks only] $20 deposit to reserve a spot on the bus. The bus will leave promptly at 7 a.m. and return at approximately 6:00 p.m. The forum is held twice yearly - once in Southern California, and once in Northern California. It is designed to provide students from underrepresented groups with the tools and information to help them apply and be accepted to graduate schools. Some benefits of attend- ing the forum include meeting representatives from over 100 of the nation's elite graduate schools and getting f ree access to the Princeton Review's online prep course for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). There are also many workshops designed to cater to specific areas of study, a few include: nursing, physical sciences and mathematics, and fine and performing arts. There will also be workshops designed to provide more general information about topics such as selecting and applying to graduate schools. Another important subject that will be covered is the issue of securing funding for graduate school.

With big name players such as M arian Hossa, Brad Richards, and Brian Campbell finding new homes, other big name players Olli J okinen and Mats Sundin stayed put, leaving questions for the o ff-season. 25 t rades later, it is t ime to discuss the t rades that went down and how t his can impact a t eam's f uture. L et's start with the Atlanta Thrashers who t raded Hossa and Pascal Dupuis for Erik Christensen, Colby Armstrong, prospect Angleo Esposito and 2008 d raft pick. Despite losing Hossa, the Thrashers added young talent that could bolster a talented f uture. The Pittsburgh Penguins on the other hand added help for Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Hossa will now be able to play wingman to "Sid the K id" while raising the expectations for a long playoff r un. I am expecting them to be playing for the cup. The Dallas Stars were able to pick up Richards and Johan Holmqvist for Mike Smith, Jussi Jokinen, J eff Halpren and a 2009 first round d raft pick. The addition of Richards gives the Stars contending power against the Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim Ducks. The Tampa Bay Lightning added an upgrade in goaltending with Smith, while adding t hree young players and two d raft picks. This gives the Lightning an opportunity to rebuild a struggling team that had star power but lacked depth and goaltending. The Philadelphia Flyers added Jarslov Modry on Feb. 19 and Vaclav Prospel on Feb. 25. Modry gives the Flyers depth on the blue line while Prospel gives the Flyers some much needed scoring power with the loss of Simon Gagne for the season and while waiting for J offery Lupul to r eturn f rom a high ankle sprain. The last winner f rom the t rade deadline was the Anaheim Ducks who once again didn't make a trade. They kept their core of players and traded for a role player. One reason for not making dramatic trades was that they have watched the r eturn of last years Conn Smyth winner (playoff MVP) Scott Niedermayer and more importantly the r eturn of Teemu Selanne who has sparked some much needed offense. The r eturn of Selanne and Niedermayer make the Ducks the team to beat once again. But not all teams were winners this year. The Florida Panthers were lucky enough to find a buyer wanting Ruslan Salei. But they failed to trade Jokinen. The next question for Florida is who is going to be leaving. Jokinen or will coach/general manger Jacques M artin, I believe both will be gone. And the bigger loser of the two was the Toronto Maple Leafs, who watched all five players with no trade clauses use them to stay with the team. In the end, they were only able to t rade for a few low d raft picks, instead of gaining a h andful of first round picks. A team that looked like they were going to be able to be the biggest sellers got shut down by poor negotiating of contracts. No team should give five players a no-movement or trade clause, let alone to that many players with expiring contracts in the same year. The playoffs are near and teams are finally set for the final 20 games of the season. The question is who will be the winner, who made the right decision at the deadline and who will be the 29 losers who didn't make the right decision. No matter what, the playoffs are coming and I for one can't wait. Any comments or questions can be sent to churc009@ csusm.edu or pride@csusm. edu. Tuesday, March 4, 2008 Blood, Sweat Tears, Gas BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer So, I just bartered my firstborn this morning in exchange for a tank of gas. Luckily, we've already discussed my feelings about children, so it was actually a win-win deal. The guy even threw in a Diet Coke. Kidding aside, not that I've been kidding so far, a lot of people complain about the cost of gas. But I'm not hearing a lot of these whining lame-cakes coming up with solutions. I have the answer though: We should go to war with a country that has oil and take theirs. Wait. That could backfire. Ok, I have a better solution. We genetically engineer more dinosaurs a la Jurassic Park. Once we're done teaching them tricks and studying them, bonding with our large new reptilian friends, we slaughter them mercilessly, and boom, more fossil fuel. No, I'm sure I can do better. We can just find ways to work without gas. I've heard a lot about these hybrid-electric vehicles. New plan: feral catelectric vehicles. People still aren't following that whole "spay and neuter your pets" thing. Answer to rising feral cat population problem? Teach them to pull cars. It'll be like running an Iditerod every day just to get to work or the grocery store. Since BST doesn't approve of whipping your sled cats though, I recommend that you train them to work on positive reinforcement. For every mile your 500 feral cats pull you, give them a bag of Skittles. Actually, I have a less messy idea. You could just carpool. Then you can split the gas cost between yourself and someone that you liked in the beginning but have slowly began to hate, a person whose inability to throw away empty pudding cups that somehow end up under your seat and snorting giggle you come to consider death-penalty worth offenses. Carpooling is delightful. You could just make sure you recycle your grocery store bags. In 60 years, if you recycle every single one, you'll have probably 50 mile worth of gas. Or better yet, just recycle all your beer bottles, and use the money to buy more Skittles for your feral cat mobile.

In game two, the Cougars had one of the more impressive pitching outings of the season f rom freshman, Brenna Sandberg, who gave u p only two hits, leading CSUSM to a 4 -0 win.

In particular, probiotic yogurt has taken the yogurt industry by storm, touting benefits of increased immunity, regulating digestion, and being a source of daily calcium. According to Lifeway Foods Incorporated, probiotics ("beneficial to life") are live cultures that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Pat Kendall, a food science and human nutrition specialist at Colorado State University Extension, has also defined these bacteria as probiotic because they survive through the stomach to the gastrointestinal tract. Once in the GI tract, they function as favorable bacteria to maintain a healthy relationship between the 200+ kinds of bacteria that inhabit the GI tract. Researchers have f ound _ anfa, § ll 0ÊSm WÊÊt substantial evidence denoting that there are several strains of essential "good-for-you" bacteria that have the ability to promote healthy gastrointestinal functions, increase immunity and help prevent the development of cancer-causing toxins throughout the body. Currently, there are several selections of probiotics to choose from which include dairy sources [yogurt and kefir (a yogurtesque, dairy beverage with roots in the Middle East)], capsule formulas, liquid formulas, powder or tablets, and fermented foods such as sauerkraut. Kefir beverages usually contain ten cultures including the following: Lactobacillus lactis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Streptococcus diacetylactis, Leuconostoc cremoris, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, Saccharomyces florentinus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Conventional yogurts without additional probiotic supplement u su- ^mÈ^^ m ally contain Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Streptococcus thermophilus. Dannon's Activia yogurt has become quite popular and well known for its probiotic qualities. Activia is usually the introduction into the "culture" of probiotics. Student Michelle Bartolome is familiar with the probiotic yogurt from Activia and has tried Activia , noting that it tasted similar to conventional yogurt. Taylor Linkins, another student familiar with probiotics, commented that Activia tasted different from typical yogurt. Being a skeptical consumer is a natural response when bombarded with these amazing claims about yogurt. So what exactly makes probiotic yogurt so special? Most traditional yogurts on the market usually only contain one to two live and active bacterial cultures (usually Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Ifc, thermophilus). "I" iW Many dairy and yogurt companies have launched probiotic products promising improved immunity and digestive health. Voice Probiotic yogurt differs from this by containing many more cultures (including Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus healthy digestive performance. Another point to address is the convenience of probiotic yogurt — one does not have to go about selecting probiotic supplements. Similarly, most probiotic yogurts promote healthy digestion and gastrointestinal functions with the addition of more bacteria cultures. Research is also being conducted to determine effectiveness of strengthened immunity and cancer prevention. So, how can one reap the benefits? Being a careful consumer is essential — be sure to check the labels and make sure it actually contains live and active cultures because the number of live cultures differs among products from processing methods. Another important point to casei, Lactobacillus reuteri, and be conscientious of is to avoid Bifidobacterium bifidum) and yogurt that has "heat treated this is important as they continue after culturing" on the label through the digestive system to (which means after the bacteria was added in the yogurt, it was the GI pasteurized.

Also look for the addition of insulin, which is a prebiotic culture that increases the activity of Lactobacillus acidophilus, calcium absorption, and is a good source of dietary fiber. The amount of time before one receives the benefits of consuming probiotic cultures is dependent on the probiotic strains, amount consumed, and present health status.

March is here, and that means this is the month that college students across the nation are in the spotlight with the all media eyes watching college basketball, spring breaks, relentless mid-terms and the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War, which significantly affects a great number of students and their families. This month, however, mtvU, MTV's Emmy award-winning college network, in conjunction with The Jed Foundation, which is the nation's foremost suicide prevention nonprofit organization, are heavily promoting mtvU's "Half of Us" campaign. According to the website, the " 'Half of Us' campaign derives its name from research showing that nearly half of all college students have felt so depressed they could not function, and addresses the reality that suicide is the second leading killer of college students." Though the "Half of Us" campaign is not new, in light of recent events nationwide, "Half of Us" is sponsoring new programs this month that are focused on stress and other emotional effects that this March in particular could have on students. "March is a month when the nation celebrates college culture, and this year we aim to use the moment to spark a dialogue about the serious mental health issues going unaddressed on college campuses - claiming the lives of countless students each year," said Stephen Friedman, GM, mtvU. "Our special 'Half of Us' March programming is part of a year-round commitment to chipping away at the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health, as well as connecting students to the necessary resources." The new programming offered at halfofus.com includes a feature special with Billy Corgan, the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins, who speaks out on how his success caused memories of an abusive childhood to surface, and how accepting those issues and seeking help and available resources can help students. Also debuting on the website on March 17, will be a discussion for Iraqi War Student Veterans, in which student soldiers from coast to coast talk about life after the war, getting back into the routine of college life and how they are coping with the challenges it brings. For this discussion, there will also be an acclaimed expert on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), who will offer advice to student soldiers and student veterans on what resources are available to them and how to get a hold of such resources. According to the press release for this month's programs, halfofus.com is also starting an mtvU and The Associated Press Mental Health Poll. The poll specifically aims to be "an in-depth look at the impact stress and depression are having on the national college audience—particularly at this pivotal point of the semester." The poll also hopes to supply a valuable look "into how the war, starting a career, campus safety, technology, substance abuse and other factors affect college students' stress levels and mental health today—and where they are, or are not, turning for help."

A new study led by C oBA Professor William Burns BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer In the Fall semester of2007, California and its residents experienced the tragedies, panic, and potential consequences of the wildfires that plagued the state for weeks. Since the events of the California wildfires and even as far back as the events of 9/11, there have been numerous studies on the reaction of humans to these types of events. Dr. William Burns, a professor in the College of Business Administration here at California State University San Marcos, now has the privilege of studying the effects of these types of disasters with the assistance of some prominent professionals and distinguished organizations. "It's a myth that people panic in disasters. Research simply doesn't support it," states Burns. But adverse effects are not limited to panic, and the reactions that victims of these events have is the main idea of this study. Assisting Dr. Burns is the team of psychologist, Paul Slovak of Decision Research, Adam Rose and Garrett Asaey, economists at USC. As Decision Analyst of this study, Burns says he wishes to "examine and better understand the connection between people's responses to disasters, including terrorism." The process of surveying and presenting different scenarios to a multitude of people on varying levels of categories (income, ethnicity, location, etc.) will help this team of educated individuals determine the responses that many people might have to various disastrous events. Various people are asked multiple questions about how traumatic events would effect their psyches, economic standing, and personal decisions. These findings will help set a procedure for how we evaluate the different effects of an incident. This can include not only a person's reaction, but also media coverage, responses of the masses, and proce- dures to help community leaders and the public. This study can vary depending on the surveys. Many factors will be taken into account when it comes to this study. Factors like location, the individual, dialect, and the type of disaster will all drastically influence the reaction of the media, government, and public support. Panic would not be the first response to disaster, according to Burns. During 9/11 as well as the California wildfires, the support of the public was orderly and helpful as opposed to hysteria. Burns also mentions that if we all looked back at the news coverage during 9/11, a majority of the people in the towers got out safely using the stair case, meaning that the task of evacuation could never have worked if there was a majority of people climbing over others and watching out for only themselves. When asked how this study came into fruition, Dr. Burns said that "It really has its origins back in 2003...but mostly inspired by 9/11, we understand a lot about how the public responds to technological disasters and things. We might be able to use our expertise to get a better understanding on how people by respond to larger, natural disasters, and especially terrorism." Funded by the National Science Foundation, this will be a three-year long study with an almost $750,000 budget. The process of writing up, presenting, and reviewing this proposal to this wellknown foundation is a competitive and very selective process. With the potential that a disaster can occur at anytime, the outcome of this study will also affect students. "College graduates in particular will find their way into leadership roles and have the responsibility to help communities pull together to face the disasters of the future because they will be,, more than likely, in leadership roles. And our study will speak to those, and help them better understand how to do that," said Burns. Considering a Career in Physical Therapy?

Photo courtesy Steve Jacob BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer the plot and the Directed by Wes Anderson, "The Darjeeling Limited" is a breath-taking, introspective film that follows three American brothers along a spiritual quest throughout India. Out of touch, and out of their minds, the Whitman brothers—portrayed by Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman—set out on a journey of self-discovery to rekindle their brotherly bond while mourning the death of their father. Making their way through India on a train, specifically the Darjeeling Limited railway, their plan is quickly dissembled, as they encounter unexpected challenges and settings. Eventually they find themselves lost, stranded, and out of luck on a new and uncharted route. Toting eleven of their father's suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine, the Whitman brothers allow viewers to grow along with them as they experience each bump in the road and new scenario. According to The Onion's A.V. Club, it is theorized that there 16 films to which Anderson's style was most heavily influenced. Number 7 on the list is "The River." Anderson himself has mentioned that this film was the single greatest film influence on "The Darjeeling Limited." A1951 film directed by Jean Renoir and written by Rumer Godden is a dramatic romance about three teenage girls living in Bengal, India (all of English decent), coming of age and falling in love with the same man. In both films, this foreign country, India, is the core landscape for the fruition of It also becomes a place of healing ^fck | § ^^^^^^^^^^ DarjeelingLimited" * is not a romantic film in any sense of traditional ^ ^ ^ conventions, there is romance in the film between the characters and the scenery. There are also hints of romance threaded through the film as it ideally is a fully conceptualized after-thought to the previously released "Hotel Chavelier", which also starred Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman. As both "The River" and "The Darjeeling Limited" take their characters on a voyage through an unfamiliar land, both Renoir and Anderson recognize through their visual interpretations, that their stories veer more towards a location transforming the main characters than it is about interpreting the cultural identity of India for their audiences. That said, however, "The Darjeeling Limited" is all about Indian culture. It is the weird and wonderful things in India which the Whitman brothers encounter that change them and unite them. Along with the incredible acting on behalf of Brody, Schwartzman, and Wilson, together with the likes of Bill Murray and Angelica Houston, "The Darjeeling Limited" is a succulent DVD treat for any viewer or Wes Anderson fan, full of incredible actors, beautiful mis-en-scene, and a transcendental timeless story. this semester?

The dark brown glass bottle holds 22-fluid ounces of ale - a bit more than average. The labeling contains an image of a shadowy earth smiling down upon a turquoise tented moon surface. Psychedelic colors comprise the rest of the label. A black bottle cap with a shiny silver outline and the company's yellow logo of a smiley face caps the bottle with an alcohol by volume of 5.6%. It retails for $3.19 at BevMo. The ale pours thickly, creating a chunky and massive one inch thick head. A demonic black tenor fills the glass. The head resides for several moments before decreasing in size. However, a solid head remains for the duration of consumption. A distinct aroma arises from the evil mixture. Shockingly and disappointingly, the ale enters smooth and finishes mildly. The aromas and textures seemed to ensure a more Indiana Jones-like adventure. Instead, the ale's calmness projects Barney-like characteristics.

Uninformed viewers unfairly stereotype sci-fi films and television shows as "nerdy" or "geeky." This is not true, however, because not every "Star Trek" fan has abnormal acne, buckteeth, and a thick pair of glasses. If you desire to see what the buzz is all about, I have a few suggestions to expand your horizons. One does not have to be obsessive to enjoy these fine pieces of entertainment. A recent movie one could use to "cut their teeth" on is Danny Boyle's "Sunshine", released last year. Boyle who directed films such as "28 Days Later" and "Trainspotting," gives an impressive story about humankind on a mission to save the Earth. Years in the future, the sun is dying and a select crew is set to deliver a payload to reinvigorate it. Along the way, they receive a distress signal, which they answer and disaster ensues. It is an exciting and terrifying movie in space similar to "Alien" and "Event Horizon" and is well worth a watch. One does not have to worry about techno-babble that may turn people off, because as long as viewers pay attention, the movie explains everything. It is a story about testing humanity that just happens to take place in space. Along those lines, I am going to recommend a film that may make one shudder to consider. "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" is an extraordinary film with action and excitement. People stigmatized this film as a program for geeks, which is unfair. For some reason, "Star Wars" has escaped the majority of the criticism, yet these two films are on the same level. It is a clever and engrossing from the very beginning. Not only does it deserve to have everyone watch it, but also earns the right to have the vicious labels removed from it. I have limited experience with "Star Trek" but I was able to pick this up and enjoy its many fine qualities. Finally, I recommend the works from the mind of Joss Whedon: "Firefly," and the subsequent film "Serenity." "Firefly" is the story of ship and its crew that roam the galaxy looking to get by years after humankind branched out from Earth and a civil war erupted. This television show ran for one season on FOX, who cut it, not knowing what a goldmine they had on their hands. Fans still fight for the show to come back and were delighted when NBC/Universal offered a deal to Whedon and made "Serenity." This follows the same crew on its ventures, where Whedon mixes the right amount of humor and explosions. The structure of these works is similar to a Western set in space and is engrossing and addictive to even first time sci-fi goers. I sincerely hope people will give sci-fi another chance and examine its fine achievements. It can be just as exciting and entertaining as any other genre. Also, do not judge addicted sci-fi fans. People consider a football fan cool for knowing every statistic about every player on every team from every year, but sci-fi fans are "nerds" for knowing about what interests them. Other movies, like gangster or crime films have their own lingo — science fiction should have the same rights.

The Academic Support Program for Intellectual Rewards and Enhancement (ASPIRE) recently teamed up with College of Arts and Sciences and the Center for Student Involvement to offer The College Success Workshop, a series of programs targeting special problems students encounter throughout the academic school year. Upcoming workshops include one on how t o conduct r esearch, March 19 from 1 to 2 PM; one on time management, April 1 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. by Carlene Smith; and one on goal-setting April 13 from 10 to 11:30 AM. There will other workshops in May. The workshops series is "designed to increase student participation and involvement in university-sponsored events," said Alex Cuatok, ASPIRE coordinator. The workshops are designed to help students improve their skills in study, leadershig a^d^est^preparatipn, as.well* as how to use the university's resources. ASPIRE has 20 tutors actively involved in helping students, along with personnel from various university academic programs. The workshops are free.

Computer Lab Students are encouraged to bring their writing assignments to the sessions t o help tutors understand the requirements.

Last summer, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing accredited CSUSM's Single Subject Preparation Program in English. The program prepares students for the one-year credential program by offering combinations of courses that in essence replace the tests. The Praxis and the SSAT are twohour tests, costing $200 each. Susie Lan Cassel, coordinator of the Single Subject Preparation Program in English, described them as "incredibly difficult." Indeed, last October, 49 percent of the students who took the SSAT failed. The preparation program is divided into three phases. First, all waiver students must complete the core classes. Second, similar to the bachelor's degree program, students choose an emphasis either in writing or literature. They must complete 15 units from that emphasis with a minimum GPA of 2.7 in all waiver classes. Third, a portfolio documenting a student's academic growth must be compiled at the end of the program. The program is approximately 15 units more than the baqhelors degree, Field depending on the courses taken. But, unlike the bachelor's program, junior college c redits c ount t owards t he waiver. Once 8 0 percent of the waiver classes are completed, students are eligible to apply to the credential program. Academic Advisor Lora Coad and Cassel encourage t hose t hinking of teaching careers to have an evaluation t o determine t heir eligibility for the waiver. Bring an appointment letter to Leslie Zomalt in CRVN 6203. She will s end u niversity t ranscript f iles t o Cassel, and a walk-in meeting can be set u p f or t he f ollowing week d uring Cassel's office hours (3-4:30 p.m. Mondays; 2-3 p.m. Tuesdays or by appointment). Those interested in the waiver program should first contact their advisors. More information on the program can be found on the CSUSM home page http://www.csusm.edu/A_S/ lit_writing/waiver.html). A literature and writing advisement board will soon be posted outside Craven 6 220. The catalog h as changed drastically from 1996-97. from page 1 MJM nors for additional projects, h e said. After developing the recreation field, CSUSM could initiate soccer, golf, and track and field programs, helping t o lead to eventual membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Gonzalez said a t t he t ime. Lynch said defeat of the proposal would show t he community "we d on't care about having recreation facilities." Since student fees will be reduced by 5 percent next year, she added, students would pay about $5 less than this year even if the $35 increase is approved. CSUSM students already enjoy the lowest tuition and AS fees in the statewide system, Faltaous said. Gonzalez told the North County Times previously that an anonymous donor offered the university $150,000 to start the project two years ago. Since that time, $50,000 has been spent on studies to determine the cost of t he project, estimated at about $1 million, he adcled. Faltaous said he hopes students will support the proposal not just because a recreation center is needed, but also because a viable sports program might help to decrease the apathy many students have for the university in general. While the academic life on campus is extraordinary, he added; development of more clubs, organizations and student g overnment is d efinitely still needed. "Students need to realize they belong to the campus and the campus belongs to them," he added. The fee increase proposal has generated mixed feelings on campus, however. AS Secretary Erik Dawson said he probably would not s upport it as it stands because AS would not have control over the account. "Since students would ultimately pay for the recreation facility, s tudents shquld control t he funds," he added. Dawson pointed out that AS and the University Foundation have differed in the past on a few key issues, including the perceived monopolies held by Duplication Services and Aztec Shops on campus. Student control of the athletic account, he argued, "would give the AS more cards to play with when we sit down and negotiate something." Dawson also said he would not support the proposal without some form of t ermination clause, a dding t hat h e would h ate to see the fee still in place 20 years from now, with generated revenue going toward such things as watering grass on campus. Lynch said students could vote out the $35 increase after six years. Several students said they liked the proposal. Daniel Huey, a transfer student from Mira Costa Community College, said he would support the increase, adding, "In college, there's a time for study and a time for other recreation. A track would be a place to exercise the body, not just the mind." Huey said h e t hought t he track would be good for the community in general, and would give parents somewhere to take their children that didn't cost money. Though junior Zuri Williams conceded that "we need some sort of athletic (facility) on campus," she said she wouldn't support the mandatory fee. It would be better, she added, to raise. the funds through donations. One senior said she thought the idea of a new t rack a nd f ield s ounded g reat, b ut a§ked, "Why is it coming out of t he student's pocket? I don't think students need to be burdened with more fees." Brittney Leavitt, a 16-year-old San Marcos High School student who intends to enter CSUSM after graduation, said she would support the proposed fee as a university student. "I think it would get t he school m ore involved," s he added. "I would use it." SEE WHAT TAKES SHAPE. EXERCISE.

Parking woes still affect most students my B Y JAMES GATES Finding parking on campus is no f un. But getting a parking ticket is even less f un. But that's,what may be in store for a number of students. CSUSM's Parking Services h as laid down t he law: There is n o "grace period" for parking violations. Some 165 students got that message the hard way, by being issued tickets i n t he f irst two weeks of classes, 110 in the f irst week, 75 in t he second. T hat's a p er^week r ate of r dughly d ouble t he a verage week in the previous semester. Parking coordinator Dora K noblock c ited " continued abuse" as the reason for the nononsense approach and added, "This is not an exception, it will be the rule." Half of those ticketed had n ot d isplayed .valid p arking permits. "If (ticketing) gets students to purchase parking permits", s aid Knoblock, " then what we are doing is working." The other half, with permits, simply were parked in u nau- thorized places or lots. When asked if such tickets is a symptom of t he problem or t he solution, Knoblock paused a nd replied, "I'm inclined to say it's a solution." Parking tickets cost the recipients $20. A late payment, after 21 days, adds another $10. A p arking p ermit costs $54. Checks (made out t o "CSUSM parking") are acceptable payment. University officials know spaces are still at a premium, b ut some 100 new spots were o pened t his s emester in t he P alomar-Pomerado H ealth Systems Center, across Twin Oaks Valley Road f rom t he c ampus. By a nd l arge, Knoblock says, these spaces are still n ot b eing fully utilized. Shuttle service from that lot is available Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Knoblock says the shuttles, too, are underutilized. In addition to that and the main Student lot, a t hird one (Lot 3) is available j ust past t he c onstruction of Building 15, n ear t he Chavez s tatue, f or both students and staff. Knoblock insisted t hat "students have sufficient parking," b ut h er s tatement d rew a m ixed r esponse. M any s tudents said they were aware of t he a dded l ots, b ut s tressed t hat t hey w ere t oo f ar away from classes to be helpful. "I usually plan to be here an hoiir early t o find good parking for morning classes," said one, J ames Harris. H elping a b it is t hat CSUSM's e nrollment f or t he spring semester is down from slightly from last fall. Though final enrollment figures were not complete, Richard Riehl, executive d irector of e nrollment services, said h e did not "expect an increase over fall enrollment." CSUSM also h as plans for a nother new lot, a djacent t o Lot 3, which will add 590 new spaces. Some 4 6 new spaces also will b e added to the upper staff lot. Both should be available by next fall. �Library Calander B Y J O H N F RESCA tarting this week, CSUSM will be presenting a n umber of a rts and lectures on campus for Women's History Month.

Among the many features of the new system is the San Diego Library Circuit, through which s tudents can r equest from over 4 million books collected at the libraries of UCSD, SDSU and t he University of San Diego. Once requested, the books will arrive at the CSUSM library by t he next b usiness day. Reid called the system "wonderful" and a "real bargain," considering the increased access offered to students. "This system does not exist many places in the United States," she added. » Reid said the library staff is also working to provide more electronic access, while continuing to add more volumes on site. The library stores over half of its collection offsite, in the Foundation Building (the annex), which is aceessible only t hrough c ourier. S tudents/ h owever, c annot b rowse through this part of the collection; they must request a particular book, then wait one day for delivery. ^ e library piaps t oadd onsite shelving in the near future, but finding a location has become a problem. Structurally, only certain p arts of Craven Hall can handle the weight of the books. The central part of the "U" in the building can accommodate it, b ut no open space exists for shelves. The back area of the third floor in the library remains available, and t he staff is studying t he possibility of immediate expansion. The amount of library space available for students has also become an issue.

Dot.Comm comes to town B Y LODIA ORAMAS How many times have you had a complaint about a program or a club not being available at CSUSM? How many times have you done something about it? One communications major, Quito Washington did do something. His thoughts and concerns about the communications program at CSUSM led to action, the formation of a new club called Dot. Comm. He's present secretary of the newest group on campus to liave a voice. President Brian Frye, who also is majoring in communications, and Washington thought the name Dot. Comm. would fit the club perfectly. Both are also specialists in utilizing the Internet. The club will have its next meeting on March 6. Dot. Comm., which Frye says has 60 people "already interested," was organized in the middle of the fall semester. Its goals include focus groups in which small groups can target an area of interest, a book-share program, internships, scholarships and networking with San Diego State University's Communications Club. Frye and Washington shared the sentiment that communications majors virtually were without a voice on campus. As one junior put it, "CSUSM just doesn't offer very much to communication majors." Dot. Comm. seeks to change that. Fiye said the club is looking for members, particularly ones interested in serving on its various committees. Interested students can visit Dot.

San Marcos CA �Reading Thomas E. Kennedy B Y D UFF BRENNA A /• /I ward-winning novelist a nd short story writer Thomas # Kennedy published f M % two works in 1997, V^ v. The Book of Angels, a novel about a contest of wills between an artist a nd a magician, a nd a story collection entitled, Drive Dive Dance & Fight Kennedy was p rompted t o write Angels when a f riend of h is became involved with Satan worshippers. In order t o u nderstand w hat was happening t o his f riend, Kennedy read books on t he occult, a nd h e f ound them "pretty chilling stuff, b ut i t occurred t o m e t hat a contest of wills between a n artist a nd a magician could make for a n exciting novel." The "angels" in t he story a re emblematic of t hose angels who "in dubious battle" warred in Heaven. The artist becomes a kind of good angel trying t o hold o n t o h is sanity a s h e is drawn toward a n abyss of evil f rom whieh4here4s * » r eturn.

I t is nip a nd tuck, a profoundly intellectual wrestling match t hat is a s exciting t o read as any first-rate, page-turning thriller. In Drive Dive, Kennedy describes m en and women weakened by t heir loss of religious faith, t he guilt of extramarital affairs, t he fear of aging, t he h orror of dying, and t he limits of t he mind's ability t o grasp its raison d'etat I n t he first story, "Bonner's Women," Bonner watches t he "gathering darkness of unimpeachable December" descend on t he city a nd realizes t hat t he only antidote for t he depression h e feels "is a n Oak Bar martini." I n Kennedy's work t he use of alcohol becomes at times t he equivalent of prayer, a way t o find a n alternate reality and, occasionally, a m eans t o a n epiphany. J ohnny Fry in t he story, "Kansas City," is o n a mission t o m end h is life. We watch h im wandering f rom San Francisco t o Kansas City, drinking martinis a nd searching through t he labyrinth of t he past f or clues t o where h e went wrong.

In "The Severed Garden," t he main character, B, steals t he grave b ust of J im Morrison, takes it home, sets it u p as a shrine in t he basement and drunkenly dances before it, "a balding aging fleshy m an dancing alone in t he candlelight." The images described are religious, and I asked Kennedy if B, in effect, was worshipping a n alternate god. "We all need something t o alleviate t he emptiness t hat pours into u s in unguarded moments. Morrison a nd t he other images in t he b asement represent B's temple of saints, their eyes upon him. Through t hem h e creates his own religious rituals. Religion is a means of easing t he awful anxiety of a world r un by chance." Chance? I asked Kennedy. No planned destiny? No gods deciding o ur fate? "Once I saw a big-headed boy bouncing a ball o n t he sidewalk. H ie ball hit t he kid in t he head a nd fluked crazily away, him chasing it. Some- times I see t hat as a reflection of the whole thing—a ball bounced by an idiot, a life of infinite possible t urns fluking u s through f rom birth to death. Maybe o ur lives are nothing b ut a series of rocket stages, our p arents fire us off, we fly, we fire kids off, they fly. It's all a kind of celebration of t he crazy meaninglessness we encounter. And yet-" And yet what? "And yet maybe not without meaning. And yet t here are consequences t o our choices, sometimes serious ones. And yet there is something in t he rhythm of t he h uman h eart t hat makes u s want t o seek t he good—and p erhaps something t hat makes u s want t o seek darkness as well. Perhaps t he Zoroastrians were right: p erhaps o ur task on earth is t o help Light in its battle with Darkness. 'Sing t he songs of light,' they told us." Light a nd darkness, h umor a nd love a nd a great compassion inform Kennedy's rhythms in Angels a nd Drive Dive, Both books are filled with mesmerizing lives, strange, alluring a nd intimately, satisfyingly, familiar.

( Now, m ultimedal-winning Olympian diver Greg Louganis has turned the video camera on himself with "Looking to t he Light," a b ehind-the-scenes glimpse of his personal life since his ground-breaking biography, "Breaking the Siirface." "So many people asked me if I was doing another book after "Breaking the Surface,' and I just didn't want to go through t hat w hole p rocess," s aid Louganis f rom h is h ome in Malibu. "So when the director of the film version (produced by the USA Network) approached me a bout doing t he video I thought it was a perfect compromise." A n ative of San Diego, Louganis has been a competiIIW^I C ^ I I W tive diver since the age of 10. Still in his teens, he won a silver medal in the 1976 Olympics and by the age , of 30 had won four Olympic gold m edals. In " Breaking t he S urface," Louganis traced his rise to diving stardom, an ascent filled with several obstacles. He was taunted by schoolmates because of his brown skin (he was put up for adoption by his biological mother, a Caucasian, and Samoan father) and dyslexia which went unnoticed until his teens. He grew up with an abusive father, battled substance-abuse p roblems, a ttempted suicide and eventually came to terms with being gay. When "Looking to the Light" premiered at t he West Hollywood Pacific Design Center last fall as a benefit for the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AMFAR), many in at- New gay soccer team now recruiting Players Contact: Scott Trevor Morre (619)226-1676 A n ew r ecreational soccer team for gay men named the San Diego Breakers Soccer Club is now recruiting players of all ages and skill levels for its roster, with Monday evening, practices set to begin March 9. The club is being 6rganized by two San Diego area men, Kelly Sieben* M.D., a family practice physician at Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group, who lives in Scripps Ranch, and J ohn B aril, a H uman Resources computer professional for Scripps Clinic and resident of La Jolla. 1 Baril and Sieben both a re l ongtime soccer players. Baril started playing with t he San Diego Sparks gay soccer team 11 years ago and contin- tendance were moved by what u nfolded on t he video. The emotions ran the gamut from laughter to tears. "That's one of the things that was m issing f rom t he TV movie," said Louganis. "It wasn't a very realistic view of people living with AIDS on a day-to-day basis. The video is more honest and candid."' And it is. Throughout "Looking t o t he Light," we see Louganis deal with the cost of expensive and complicated new AIDS treatments as well as returning to old habits that would interfere with his HIV. But t here are lighter moments, too. Much of the last few years has seen Louganis traveling cross-country speaking on college campuses and appearing at countless book signings. Another highlight is a video diary of Louganis achieving a recent goal: completing the 1997 California AIDS Ride, a 500-mile plus bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Like other documentaries of its genre, the video takes an unflinching look at a man still coming to terms with his evolution into a role modeLforth$ gay and HIV/AIDS communities. "I'm not comfortable being seen as a role model. I don't t hink I'll ever b e," said Louganis. "Everybody is human u es t o p lay w ith t he t eam. Sieben played five years with the Sparks, until last year. Their goal is f or t he Breakers to join the San Diego County Soccer League by the time main season competition begins next October. The team also plans to play in the Black M ountain 7 on 7 s ummer league and possibly ongoing indoor play at Folsom's sports facility in North Park. " We're o pen t o gay male players of all skill levels," said Sieben. "All ages are eligible, and experience is not necessarily required. Willingness to play and a good attitude are what's important." M ore e xperienced skilled players looking for a serious competitive team will be referred to the Sparks. Initially, the Breakers is soliciting players for its 18man roster. "If there are more people interested, we wouldn't turn them away. Anyone is welcome to come to practice and other club social get4ogethers," Sieben said, noting t hat first practice is at 6 p.m. on March 9. The B reakers would complement the Sparks, which recently announced plans to become more competitive. "We hope both teams will benefit f rom our recruiting efforts," said Sieben. He e xplained t hat, "Well differ from them in that our playing time will be preferentially f or gay guys, a nd t here will b e more equitable p laying t ime r egardless of skill." While anyone may attend practice, those who are selected for the team roster will pay monthly dues, although the amount hasn't been determined, Sieben added. Baril and Sieben say they plan to secure a lit practice field. For more information or to j oin t he club, call 6875600 or e -mail t hem a t gaysokrsd@aol.com.

Every skier/ snowboarder would. Carving t he first tracks through fresh powder is t he highlight of any winter season. • i But what if you only have a da3Ktb'&kii: > o fride? You knbw t he situation: test on Monday in history^ p resentation in literature on Tuesday, and so o n. But you still want to experience t he snow. In that case, local mountains are your only choice. And when you think local mountains Big Bear immediately comes to mind. But t hat might not b e the best choice. Mountain High is located about 2" h ours n orth o n I nterstate 15 i n Wrightwood in t he San B ernardino N ational F orest. C omprised of two separate resorts, an east and west, it offers varied terrain for both beginner and advanced skiers/snowboarders. The west resort has long and widegroomed trails serviced by a high-speed, quad chairlift. It is the most popular of the two resorts for skiers because of its wide and clean runs. The east resort features Fault Line, a full-sized, snowboard terrain park with a series of man-made launches and a good-sized half pipe for both beginning and advanced riders. But what makes Mountain High a good day-trip choice is t hat it requires no mountain driving. That's right, no winding roads. While the slopes t hemselves are snow-covered, the roads are usually not. This convenience comes at a cost, t hough. "Most of t he snow is m anmade. It doesn't have the same feel as real powder," says Chris Sorensen, an avid skier for 14 years. Adds intermediate snowboarder Josh Waters, "The slopes are crowded on the weekends. Sometimes they even sell out of rental equipment." At $35 for an eight-hour l ift ticket, it's not t he best value either. * However, Mountain High's closeness can make the difference between ^ et- r Flicks f rom p a g e 9 ting to t he slopes and staying home, especially in the middle of a semester. You can avoid the crowds by showing u p early. The resorts open at 8 a.m. daily. Arriving early also will guarantee that you can rent whatever equipment you need. An a lternative would b e t o visit Mountain High at night when it is less crowded. The east resort offers night skiing on 75 percent of its runs, including all of the Fault Line terrain park. It may not be what winter vacation d reams a re m ade of. But M ountain High is a compromise between that sixpage research paper due on a Monday and having a little winter f un. as any teenager does however, as with t he characters in Drugstore Cowboy, Dr. Curry points out, "These are people o ur society, h as d eemed d ifficult t o love, difficult to care a bout.. . a film director can get an audience to take a look at these folks and spark a germ inside of us t hat says, 'I feel compassion here', 1 can love the most unlovable". River's Edge will certainly spark some serious conversation regarding difficult decisions and the people we love. Discussing two of h er favorite films arid their appeal, Dr. Curry posed a v ery r eal arid r eflective q uestion, "What about those among us that are so difficult to love? What happens if through art, you can find a speck of yourself inside these people, can you then see something human, a connection to humanity?" Both D rugstore Cowboy a nd R iver's Edge will p rovide f ood f or thought.

Released on Feb. 20, the study examined changes in the amount and type of work being conducted by faculty. Compared to a similar study conducted in 1990, the amount of time spent teaching and stu­ dent advising has not increased, but the amount pf time* spent on activities outside the class­ room has added approximately two hours per week to faculty workload. As quoted in the North County Times, George Diehr, California Faculty Association (CFA) chapter president and CSUSM College of Business Administration faculty, said the findings may be a way for fac­ ulty to receive more time off for research and that CSUSM now what more research-oriented fac­ ulty.” The study attributed the increase in scholarly activities' and research to the expansion of the faculty’s knowledge base and the addition of younger faculty members. In addition, the CSU now has a larger, more complex student body, new technology, and a broader social spectrum, which Contributes to more diverse and challenging work for fac­ ulty. “CSU faculty members are hard-working, committed to their students, engaged in a wide range of scholarly and creative activ­ ities, and [they are] energetic in reaching into their communi­ ties,” said David Spence, CSU executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer, in a uni­ versity press release. The study, conducted in 2001, included 2,547 faculty members at 22 CSU campuses. Tenuffed two-thirds of the contributing participants. In addition to this study, Ana­ lytic Studies designed a survey to find out how students rate their college experience. Find­ ings indicated that professors at CSUSM spend a lower than , average amount of time inter­ acting with students outside the classroom. The disproportionate amount of time was attributed to the fact that CSUSM is a com­ muter campus, students don’t stick around to talk, and they go to work. The CSU is now in the pro­ cess of conducting a similar survey of tenured and tenuretrack faculty at other universities around the nation that are com­ parable to the CSU. The results will be available in the fall and will show similarities and differ­ ences between CSU faculty and national faculty. R e m e m b e r in g D r. L in loved his daughters very much.

During my four years at Cal State San Marcos, I have been actively involved in represent­ ing the student voice, advocating for student’s rights and improv­ ing and enriching campus life. I have three years experience in ASI and currently serve as your ASI vice president of External Affairs. At this last year I initiated, coordinated and participated in many ASI events and programs. In my capacity as vice president of External Affairs, I am one of two representatives from our campus that sits on the California State Student Association(CSSA), which is a statewide student asso­ ciation that represents the voice of 380,000 CSU students to the board of trustees.

Aside from my role as vice president, I am also the vice chair for the University Stu­ dent Union Advisory Board and an active member in the Envi­ ronmental Club. From my involvement, I have gained a vast knowledge of ASI and the university at large.

Students and faculty alike were left without electricity from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. CSUSM student Jessica Smith said, “I had to take two of my exams in the dark. All of the students gathered by the win­ dows or sat under the emergency hallway lights to take the test. Out of all the buildings Univer­ sity Hall was the worst because there are hardly any windows.” “It was total chaos, I had to let my class go and just after the students left the power came back on,” said Tom Menden­ hall, a teacher’s assistant in the Literature and Writing Studies Department. According to San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), “The outage prevented a potential, uncontrollable blackout in the San Diego area. The California Independent System Operator (Cal-ISO) ordered SDG&E to drop 300 MW of power imme­ diately. The resulting outage affected 101 circuits at 11 sub­ stations that serve portions of the following communities: Blos­ som Valley, Bonita, Carlsbad, Chula Vista, City Heights, El Cajon, Escondido, Fletcher Hills, Highland Valley, La Mesa, Lake­ side, Lemon Grove, Mission Hills, Mission Valley, down­ town San Diego, National City, North Park, Paradise Hills, Poway, Ramona, Rancho Ber­ nardo, Rancho Del Rey, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos and Sweet­ water.” Even though CSUSM has a generator it only provides light to some elevators and emergency halls. The Dome, Cougar Store and many other offices had to close due to the power outage. K iller S en ten ced »A rticle cont, from pg. 1 Anza-Borrego but each attempt was unsuccessful. Hamilton changed his plea in November to guilty while at the same time promising to find Vasseur’s body. No reason was given for Hamilton’s attempt to change his plea, as stated in the North County Times. “We can’t do much without him telling us the truth,” Hendren said. The suspicion fell to Hamil­ ton early due to his never return­ ing to work after Sept. 22, fleeing from police five days after Vas­ seur’s disappearance and a previ­ ous incident in which Hamilton blocked Vasseur from leaving his home until she hit him. At the preliminary hearing, witnesses testified that Hamilton said he killed Vasseur by acci­ dent during a fight with her and dumped her body in the desert, according to the North County Times. Prosecutors said Hamilton killed Vasseur when she tried to break off an affair with him, as reported previously. According to court papers, Hamilton had a history of vio­ lence toward women. A Wild Animal Park co-worker alleged that Hamilton sexually harassed her while in a primate exhibit in 1985. Hamilton also allegedly punched another woman with a closed fist and gave her a black eye. Vasseur’ husband, Charles, ^ said to the North County Times that he now has little hope his wife’s remains will ever be found. “I usually go out every once in awhile and look,” said Charles Vasseur last November. Financial Aid Director »>Article cont. from pg. 1. The advice Rizvi gives to students is to research schol­ arships and their requirements, understand deadlines and state requirements, and notify the office of any changes. According to Rizvi, the financial aid office has more reg­ ulations than the bank industry. He said, “While we give the money or checks to students, there are a lot of things going on in the back room. We have to keep in compliance with state standards.” All the CSU system finan­ cial aid offices would eventu­ ally move to a new system, as instructed by the chancellor, but Rizvi’s current concentration is on utilizing all the capabilities of the current system. Rizvi has a programming diploma and a master’s degree in Educational Counseling from National University in San Diego. He learned about the opening at financial md through his membership in California Association of Financial Aid Administrators (CASFA), which provides a list of job postings. Rizvi said he was not looking for a job, but he saw the open­ ing and became interested. He researched the position and became increasingly interested in the position when he was exposed to the technology and student-friendly service offered by the office. Rizvi replaced Paul Phillips, the former director of Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. Phil­ lips left the position last Decem­ ber, which he had held since the establishment of CSUSM in 1989. Before coming to CSUSM, Rizvi worked for USA Funds, the biggest national student loan company. He held the position of national director for two years, which ran a program with about a $5 million budget. Rizvi said that he was chosen out of 120 candidates and conducted 39 focus groups to help parents of college students deal with loan debts and to help students them­ selves deal with college debt. �C an d id ates’ Statem ents for A SI’s Spring 2002 E lectio n s »A rticle cont. from pg. 2 and that with a great ASI team, we could take ASI and this campus to new, great places! I promise to do my very best in representing the voice of all students at Cal State San Marcos, I promise to bring information to the students on all university issues that affect them, and I promise to make big, positive changes on this campus. Vote Jocelyn Brown for ASI presi­ dent. Honee J. Folk The task of a leader is to get people from where they are to where they have never been before. My name is Honee J. Folk, and Lam running for ASI presi­ dent. With my proven leadership skills and consistent advocacy bn behalf of the student commu. nity at CSUSM, I plan to be the force that takes our community to where it has never been before. The college is quickly expanding and our community is expanding as well. We need a leader who is not afraid of change, welcomes expansion, and will be the voice of the entire community, not just a select few. I am that leader, your leader! A vote for me is an assurance that your voice will be heard. “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stum­ bles ... the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood ... “ Put me in the arena for you. Vote for Honee J. Folk for ASI president. Anna Hall Pm running for the position of ASI president. I just recently decided on biology as my major because I want to be a high school biology teacher. If I am elected ASI president, I will do my best to bring unity to our very diverse campus. It is my belief and the belief of others at Cal State San Marcos that we have very little student campus life at our univer­ sity. I believe that I can unite our campus and give the students an active and vibrant campus life. I am the chairwoman of the Col­ lege Republicans on our campus and am involved with several other clubs. In working with the College Republicans, I have attained good leadership qual­ ities. I believe the best leader serves the people and that is my goal, to serve the students of Cal State San Marcos to the best of my abilities. ASI Undergraduate Represen­ tative Alan Avery-Medina I’m a full time first year stu­ dent with a major in business. I am running for ASI undergradu­ ate representative. I am currently the undergraduate representative and have served on the search committee for the ASI assistant executive director. I am a member of MEChA and also the Raza Graduation Representative. Fur­ thermore, I am the student leader­ ship advocate for the Educational Achievement and Retention Ser­ vices (EARS), which has been essential in building connections with my constituents. As under­ graduate representative, I will keep you informed of all news that affects your academic life by posting flyers, having infor­ mation on Cougar Channel, and open forums. I will strive to inform and motivate students to increase campus pride and social gatherings. I am a determined, motivated, and inspired student who will strive to make this a student-centered community. So vote for me, Alan AveryMedina. Shannon Barnett “How can I get involved on this campus?” was the first question I asked when I arrived last semester as an incoming freshman. My name is Shannon Barnett, and I am running for undergraduate representative. My major is liberal studies. Since asking my first question about getting involved, I have found a. variety of answers. First semes­ ter, I was in the Emerging Lead­ ers Program. Currently, I am chair of the ASI Programming Committee, an orientation teamlLeader, co-captain of the ASI Women’s Club lacrosse team, and philanthropy chair and assistant rush of Alpha Chi Omega. These activities have enhanced my leadership abilities while keeping me organized and well rounded. On a new campus where involvement is scarce and many students are unaware of what really goes on in ASI, I realize the importance of a great undergraduate representa­ tive. This campus lacks commu­ nity; I plan to take my knowledge and experiences and build upon them to establish goals we need to bring the student body, ASI and the faculty together. I will facilitate student needs by listen­ ing to the concerns and ideas of the entire student body. We need to voice our opinions and have them heard. I urge you to take a stand for your future. Vote for me, Shannon Barnett, for undergrad­ uate representative. Help make this campus a place for you. Jacqueline Campbell I’m a biology major cur­ rently working on my undergrad­ uate degree. I am running for undergraduate representative. As a member of Alpha Xi Delta, I have learned leadership skills, participated in community ser­ vice, as well as campus activities, and I know what it tak§s to repre­ sent a community of students. A representative speaks on behalf of the students he or she represents. I want to add more sports, activ­ ities, and clubs to this campus. I am the voice that will make these things happen, and I will do all in my power to make this campus great and a campus each and every student hopes for. Marc DeGuzman Leadership can be defined as creating a positive social change in a person’s life. As a freshman majoring in business administration with an emphasis in high-tech management, I see the potential this college pos­ sesses to transform from a com­ muter school into a place where active college life flourishes. Col­ lege life is not just going to dif­ ferent classes. It is a journey that students choose to embark on, filled with life long lessons and outlets to the “real world.” I want to help expand the pro­ grams and activities already pres­ ent, increase student involvement, voice student opinions and con­ cerns, and bring their ideas out in the open. I believe that I am qualified to be an under­ graduate representative because I posses leadership qualities and have applied them in past experi­ ences. By joining a fraternity on campus, I have learned to interact with other students on a deeper level. Through many leadership conventions and programs, I have learned different types of lead­ ership styles and have developed my own. I feel I am dedicated, responsible, and capable of taking the initiative to accomplish tasks successfully. Finally, I possess the desire to impact other peo­ ple’s lives in a positive manner. Angineen Lynnae Hardin As a recent graduate of the class of2001 from Mount Carmel High School, let me introduce myself. I am Angineen (Angi) L. Hardin and am currently a second semester freshman majoring in psychology. Throughout high school I was heavily involved in several clubs, organizations and sports..I participated in tennis, basketball and track. I was an active member in Key Club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a peer advocate and academic tutor. I held leadership positions in our African American Student Alliance such as historian, vice president and president. I was also honored with “Who’s Who Among American High School Students” award for two consec­ utive years. I have given the same dedication to my college career. I am currently the publicity coor­ dinator for the Pan African Stu­ dent Alliance here on campus and the assistant to the coordi­ nator of Academic Assistance of EOP/ASPIRE, Josephine Jones. I’m very excited about attend­ ing a new university. I believe becoming ASI undergraduate representative will be the perfect opportunity to learn more about CSUSM and give me the oppor­ tunity to be a part of several groundbreaking projects as the expansion and development of this university continues. I am a passionate student who is will­ ing and ready to accept the responsibility of representing my fellow undergrads as we develop CSUSM into our home. College of Arts & Sciences Representative Kristie McMullen I’m running for the represen­ tative of the College of Arts & Sciences from the Education Col­ lege perspective. I am a liberal studies major with a sociology minor. I have attended CSUSM for the past three years. In this time of being a cougar, I have seen many things improve and change for the better. Change and improvement is what I am all about. I have been sitting on the ASI Board of Directors as the under­ graduate representative for the past five months. In this time, I have learned what it is to be a representative of the students. I know that you all want a dedi­ cated individual who is willing to stand up for your wants and needs. For example, the parking permit-zoning situation was pre­ sented to me at a board meeting, and I made sure many of you were able to voice your opinions and thoughts. In doing this we, the student body, shut the pro­ posal down. I want to be able to serve each individual at CSUSM with as much voice as I can. Maria F. Schroeder I am applying for the posi­ tion of the College of Arts and Sciences representative. I want to be your voice, and voice your concerns to the leadership of CSUSM. As a communication major with a Spanish minor, I am more than qualified to accom­ plish this mission. Throughout my three years at Cal Stat San Marcos, I have been active on campus, primarily by being active in my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. In this organization I have held various elected positions. Of these positions, one of the most impor­ tant was as Alpha Chi Omega’s representative to the Women’s Greek Council. As a delegate on the council, I voted on various issues important to the Women’s Greek community. This experi­ ence has prepared me to be your College of Arts and Sciences rep­ resentative. I believe a student representative should have an open mind, be proactive in voic­ ing student concerns to the lead­ ership of CSUSM, and always maintain an open door policy. If elected, I promise to respect every student concern that comes to my attention, and to deal with those concerns in an expeditious, prudent, and unbiased manner. If you want a College of Arts and Sciences representative that is dedicated to hearing your ideas, being your voice, and making sure that your voice gets heard, then vote for me, Maria Fernanda Schroeder. Shannon Tweed I’m a full time junior with a major in human development. I am running for the position of College of Arts & Sciences representative for ASI. I am an active student member in the Human Development and Vet­ eran’s Association clubs. I am also an EOP peer mentor on campus, which has provided me with knowledge and experience to assist students within my col­ lege while they navigate through this bureaucratic system. I am the best choice for Col­ lege of Arts & Sciences represen­ tative because as a U.S. Marine Veteran, I have the discipline, loy­ alty, and commitment to address the interests, needs and concerns of the student body in the Col­ lege of Arts &1Sciences. So vote for me, Shannon Tweed. College of Business Representative Matthew E. Coultas My intention, and overall responsibility, is to bring the opin­ ions of the students enrolled in the College of Business Admin­ istration (CoBA) program to the attention of the ASI governing board. In doing so, I will voice an accurate and forthcoming rep­ resentation of the wishes and concerns of those in the CoBA program. I will be responsible and dependable in the course of carrying out the requirements of the college of business represen­ tative position. By performing my duties in an honest and faith­ ful manner, I intend to become an asset to both ASI as well as the general student population. Deanna C. Garcia I am running for College of Business representative. This is my sixth semester at Cal State San Marcos, and I am work­ ing on my bachelor’s degree in business administration-service sector management. Currently, I am involved in a club on campus and have held two executive posi­ tions, one minor position, and have served on two committees within the organization. These positions has given me the oppor­ tunity to work closely with the executive board to make deci­ sions that benefit the group as a whole. I will bring many ideas, suggestions, an unbiased opinion and a good attitude to ASI. I plan to address all interests, needs and concerns of the student body of the College of Business as well as insure that the mission state­ ment of Cal. State San Marcos is upheld in the College of Business Administration. Terra Nelson I’m running for the position of ASI representative for the Col­ lege of Business Administration. If elected, I will be a new face to ASI; however, I am an old one here at CSUSM. I have been attending CSUSM since 1998, and I intend to graduate with a business degree in the spring of 2003. As I enter my eighth semester here at CSUSM, I have decided to join ASI because I want to bring freshness to the team and allow different voices and concerns on campus to be heard. I would be proud to serve in ASI because I believe in the values of intellectual engagement, community, integrity, innovation, and inclusiveness at CSUSM. Implementing these values will help me fulfill the vision of CSUSM becoming a distinctive public university in all facets of academic excellence, service to the community, and improving learning by new innovative meth­ ods. Since our college is so young, I hope to be a part of a team that will lay a strong foundation not only for today’s students, but also for the students of tomor­ row. I’m asking for the opportu­ nity to build and share the vision of CSUSM and develop a distinc­ tive school that we are proud to call our own.

How­ ever, I do realize tlie importance of what was written. Personally, I do not allow family or friends to extinguish cigarettes at my home by snuffing them out wher­ ever they like, but my home is not an institution. The staff writer who wrote this article could have better facilitated effective communication by mentioning how well our campus looks and how, in the effort to maintain its beauty, students could make an active effort to dispose of their cigarettes in their proper place. Furthermore, I find the imag­ ery used to get the point across ludicrous: “I catch myself dodg­ ing them as I walk to and fro.” The better approach to a mes­ sage such as this is by using positive powers of persuasion, not trying to heap upon smokers an insurmountable level of guilt. Reading The Pride, I believe, is for the purpose of assessing the progress and development of its staff and students, measuring how much we have achieved and discussing our future ambitions.

I would like to thank Mar- * * lino Bitanga for touching on the issue of identity theft in his article “Is Your Identity Safe?” in the February 26 edition of The Pride. Identity theft is an increasingly dangerous prob­ lem today. The Federal Trade Commission maintains a web­ site (http://www.consumer.gov/ idtheft/), which addresses this issue at length, as well as coun­ termeasures one can take to minimize risk (See the publi­ cation: ID Theft: When Bad Things Happen To Your Good Name ). Certainly moving toward an ID that is not based on social security numbers would be a good move for CSUSM to consider. I would also take care at public terminals, like the web lookup for book lists at the bookstore, where social security numbers are cached in the browser.

Deadline for submissions: May 2,2001. Dear Pride Readers, the weekend. In fact, I’m probably one of the few who have seen how des­ olate our campus can be by 6 p.m. on a Sunday. Still, I am writing this brief letter in hopes that some reader out there has the power to change the lounge hours. I am known for writing opinion articles of a human­ itarian nature, but not this time. This time I am writing to complain for my own personal benefit. As one of the editors for The Pride, I faithfully spend every Sunday in the newspaper office. I recently had this great idea. I could go to the student lounge, pop some popcorn and take a newsbreak (no pun intended, I am an avid news watcher). Unfortunately, Sunday is the only day our student lounge is closed. I realize that campus is not teeming with students on Hopeful, LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor Compiled by JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep, the vortex of their minds ensconsed within the murky deep. The infirmity of man is brought on by his selfish core. So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end, and we're the only ones who can perceive it. But others sing of beauty and the story that has unfolded as one that deserves praise and ritual. My pessimistic lines, your superstitious lives, and the modem age's lies won't absolve you.

Culture was the seed of proliferation, but it has gotten melded into an inharmonic whole. Consciousness has plagued us and we can not shake it - though we think we're in control. The person sitting next to you is dismal and deranged on the bus ride home from work to end your day. And the food on your table is more plastic than protein, and you intellect depends on your TV.

For those of you to whom this is groundbreaking news, WAKE UP! Yes, Cal State San Marcos has a surf team and has had four com­ petitions during the regular season. ASI added surfing to its list of approved club sports on January 25. The team is small at the moment, but has all the potential to become lively and popular within the next year and beyond. The surf team joined 23 teams at the Seaside Reef competition over President’s Day weekend and took sixth place. Shortboarder Jeff Fairbanks earned 20 points for the team, longboarder Dustin Franks earned 18 and after winning three consecutive heats, also took first place in the College Longboard Division. Fairbanks was a key player in this competition; shredding through five rounds and just missing advancement to the college men’s final. He took sev­ enth place overall. George Demarino, the team’s bodyboarder, had a strong supporting role, earning 13 points for the team and taking sixth place overall. Check out next week’s edition of The Pride for the results of their final regular season competi­ tion held on Feb. 24 in Huntington Beach. For more information about the team contact coach Amber Puha at apuha@csusm.edu. Until next time —pray for surf, warm sunny days and even sweeter swells.

Sports Paralympics Light Up Olympic Flame Again A Preview of What Is to Come By MELANIE ADDINGTON Arts Editor Beginning Saturday, March 9, Olympic fans can turn their TVs to A&E and watch the Paralympic Games. The Olympic flame will be relit and the world’s disabled athletes will compete in Alpine and‘Nordic skiing, and sledge hockey. In addition to competitive events, Canada and the U.S. will play an exhibition game of ice hockey. Over 36 countries and 1,000 athletes (The U.S. has 57 ath­ letes, 41 men and 16 women) will compete in the 2002 Games. The opening ceremony on Thursday, March 7 will include entertainment from Stevie Wonder, country singers Wynonna and Billy Gilman, pop perfomer Donny Osmond, and pop-classical violinist VanessaMae. NBC will air the one-hour program on Saturday, March 9th at 2 p.m. EST. What is the difference between the Olympics and Para­ lympics? Unlike the Olympics, the Paralympics use a classification system that enables athletes to compete on an equal level: all athletes compete with a pre­ determined degree of disability. Athletes are divided into three categories: LW classes (competitors with _ locomotive disabil­ ities), sitting LW classes, and B classes (competitors with visual impairment). was introduced by athletes at the Innsbruck 1984 Paralympic Winter Games. Since then, cross­ country skiing events have been split into two separate races: clas­ sical and free technique, accord­ ing to the Paralympics 2002 web site. Alpine Skiing Men and women will com­ pete in four alpine skiing dis­ ciplines during the Salt Lake 2002 Paralympic Winter Games: downhill, super-G, giant slalom and slalom. Courses differ in length, ver­ tical drop and number of gates, all of which dictate the skier’s technique and speed, according to the Paralympics 2002 web site. Giant slalom and slalom skiing events have been medal events since the first Paralympic Games. Downhill was added at the Innsbruck 1984‘Paralympic Winter Games, and super-G at the Lillehammer 1994 Paralym­ pic Winter Games. Ice Sledge Hockey Ice sledge hockey became an official event during the Lille­ hammer 1994 Paralympic Winter Games.

The athletes use a modified metal frame sled with two regu­ lar-sized ice hockey skate blades that allow the puck to pass under­ neath.

Families large and small will be able to afford tickets - prices range from $5 to The Sports: Nordic Skiing Nordic skiing consists of two events - cross-country and biathlon. Cross-coun­ try skiing began at the 1976 inaugural Para­ lympic Winter Games in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden. How­ ever, biathlon did not become a medal sport until the Lillehammer 1994 Paralympic Winter games. The classical technique of cross-country was used by men and women athletes, until skat­ ing, (six to 10 percent faster), Keith Barney is goingfor the gold during Nordic Skiing.

I am very motivated to work along­ side the school and ASI and make changes for the better while serv­ ing the students at Cal State San Marcos. My major emphasizes finance, so I believe I am quali­ fied to handle the responsibilities of this position. I am a dedicated worker and a team player, and I believe these skills will help me contribute to ASI. Crystal Folk I am running for the ASI posi­ tion, vice president of finance. I am committed to student involve­ ment, as I am currently the repre­ sentative for the College of Arts & Sciences. I serve on the ASI Programming Committee, which is responsible for the many suc­ cessful events here on campus. I am a member of the Women’s Leadership Committee, which focuses on outreach to disad­ vantaged high-school students, which provides them with pos­ itive encouragement. The pro­ gram encourages each young person to utilize the other as a beneficial resource and means of support. I am treasurer of the Pan African Student Alliance, and I am responsible for keeping accu­ rate records of our accounts. I update our statements and main­ tain open communication with the officers and members of our organization concerning budget­ ary matters. With the help of the network I have established here on campus with students, faculty, and staff, I will achieve each goal set forth this coming year. My dedication to student involvement and student life will be reflected in my work on the ASI budget, so vote me, Crys­ tal Folk, your vice president of finance.

If elected, I will communicate to the business community, through my associ­ ation with Sigma Iota Epsilon, the excellence of our school, its programs, and its students.

I currently work in the computing labs and also par­ ticipate with SASOP in early out­ reach programs here on campus. I also hold the office of secretary in the Pan African Student Alliance. I am very enthusiastic about the business program at this school and hope to see it achieve fur­ ther accreditation. My participa­ tion on campus has allowed me to meet many different people and build my own vision for the future of CSUSM. A big com­ plaint on campus is that there is no college culture, and little student involvement. I too com­ plained about this and decided if I wanted a good college experi­ ence, I would have to create it myself. My goals as the College of Business representative are not only to represent the students of the College of Business, but also to create memorable and creative activities for this campus. The university can continue to con­ struct new buildings; however, someone must build the spirit within the campus first, and it will start with me.

ASI Vice President of External Affairs Brett Gladys The time has come for us to take hold of our university and mold it into ‘our’ university! The time has come for change! The division that exists between stu­ dent government and the stu­ dents of Cal State San Marcos is wrong, and serves no one. I, Brett Gladys, am running for the posi­ tion of vice president of External The Pride Affairs so that I can work to rec­ tify this situation. In this posi­ tion, I will be able to work with students to promote change at Cal State San Marcos and to work on a statewide level with every Cal State University to fight for student interests. Cal State San Marcos needs leadership that is in touch with the needs and con­ cerns of students and is willing to work diligently for those inter­ ests. As vice president of External Affairs, I will communicate with students and speak for them at ASI and CSSA conferences. I will work to enrich the lives of stu­ dents and to see involvement on campus grow. Through campus pride initiatives and increased student involvement in the stu­ dent government, we can improve this university! There are great things on the horizon for Cal State San Marcos, and it is my wish that every student be a part of them. Glay Eyiinah Glay I am a full-time senior major­ ing in political science, with a minor in economics. I am run­ ning for the ASI position of vice president of External Affairs of ASI. As your ASI vice president of External Affairs, I will fight for issues that are important to CSUSM students: Low fees and tuition, smaller class sizes, increased funding for more diverse student activities and keeping you informed of policy changes that affect us. I am a veteran of the US Navy. I served in student lead­ ership positions in high school and military training school. I presently volunteer for MAMA’s Kitchen, serving hot meals to our unfortunate brothers and sisters in the greater San Diego area. I have the experience, commit­ ment, devotion, and loyalty nec­ essary to represent the voices and interests of Cal State San Marcos students in our effort to make this university a home away from home. So please vote for me. Thank you for choosing me. James Nguyen I am a political science major applying for the position of ASI vice president of External Affairs. I am currently an active Exter­ nal Affairs Committee member, a Student Fee Advisory Commit­ tee member, the vice president of the Progressive Activist Net­ work, and the president of the Asian Pacific Student Society. I was also in the inaugural class of the Emerging Leader Program at Cal State San Marcos. My experience in the Exter­ Workshops Thinking About Quitting Wednesdays, 1:15- 2:30 p.m. Free Student Services CRA 4110 Writing Center CRA 3106 Candidates’ Statements Continue skills and qualifications that are required for the position of vice president of External Affairs. Being a well-known indi­ vidual by many students, staff and faculty, my involvement on campus stretches well beyond the area of student government. I am a devoted student advocate actively involved with student life and student issues. My dedica­ tion to student life is a key con­ tribution I bring to ASI. In conclusion, what I have to offer the student body of CSUSM is broad experience in student government and student life that will help me effectively and effi­ ciently carry out the duties of vice president of External Affairs to its full potential. ASI Executive Vice President Arti A. Patel I am running for the position of executive vice president. I am a sociology major who will be graduating next June. The reason I am running is simple: there is a need to increase student involve­ ment on campus, and I feel I am the most qualified to handle that job. As the current executive vice president of ASI, I am in charge of placing students who want to get involved either through com­ mittees, focus groups or other activities/events in need of a stu­ dent voice. As a student who has been involved in many aspects of student life on this campus, I have observed the increasing need for student involvement and student voice. In my first week as the newly appointed execu­ tive vice president, I was able to recruit three students to fill cur­ rently vacant board of director positions, as well as place sev­ eral students on committees with openings. If elected as executive vice president for the 2002-2003 school year, I plan to implement programs such as a campus pride initiative, as well as other ini­ tiatives, that will help to build campus community.

Part of my job in the U.S. Army Finance Corps was to be the debt man­ ager for over 10,000 soldiers from two bases in Germany and also for the camps I was deployed to in Bosnia and Kosovo. This job required a lot of organization and efficiency. Coincidentally, these . very same skills are needed to be an effective ASI corporate secre­ tary. Being away from college for so long has helped me to appre­ ciate the opportunity I have to get involved and make a differ­ ence. To that end, when I came to CSUSM last semester, I hit the ground running. Instantly, I joined the lacrosse team, began sitting on the ASI External Affairs Committee, and started up the Progressive Activists Net­ work (PAN), of which I am the current president. One of the things I found striking about CSUSM when I came here was the lack of community, identity, and school pride. Through PAN, I have been trying to change that by collaborating and communi­ cating with several other student organizations and bring events to campus that will foster feel­ ings of community, identity, and school pride. For example, PAN’s monthly Socially Relevant Film Series (started this semester) has arranged to show films with PASA, the Women’s Studies Stu­ dent Association, APSS, and the Environmental Club. Right now, this campus is quiet and lacks a conspicuous identity, but it does not have to be like that. We have so much potential, to make this place fun, to make this place rock, and most importantly, to make this place ours. There have been times this year when student voices were not heard by the leadership of OSUSM, and sometimes that has been disastrous (i.e. the Com­ mencement controversy). As ASI corporate secretary, it would be my job to keep the information student leaders need to make informed decisions on past, cur­ rent, and future issues. But I do not feel that is enough. If elected, I promise to be a proactive secretary who is dedicated to keeping students abreast of cur­ rent issues, finding out how stu­ dents feel about those issues, and making sure that the leadership of CSUSM know how students feel about issues. If you want an ASI corporate secretary ded­ icated to keeping you informed, hearing your ideas, being your voice, and making CSUSM a place we can all be proud of, vote for me, Erik Roper. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

B y Andrew Bailey Trustees enact remedial plan By Carrie Tyler Staff Writer A remedial education policy that will help prepare incoming freshmen for university-level course work was approved by the CSU Board of Trustees. Under this policy remedial classes will be phased out over an 11-year period. By the year 2007, only 10 percent of the entering freshmen will require these remedial classes. Adopted after approximately two years of study and numerous meetings and hearings, this policy sets a series of timeliness beginning in the year 2001 that seek to 'Pieade reduce the need for remedial education. By the year 2001 there will be a 10 percent reduction in the number of students who will actually need remedial course work. Then by 2004, the number will be reduced by 50 percent and by 2007, only 10 percent of enteringfreshmenwill be allowed to enter that need remedial work. T he goal is not to eliminate remedial education," said Chancellor Barry Munitz.

These statistics prompted the trustees to examine issues on studied preparation. Itwasoriginally recommended by a subcommittee of the board's Education Policy Committee that all remedial classes by eliminated by 2001. Afterhearingcommentsonthe unrealistic time line and public hearings, the committee decided to give K-12 more time to assist students in preparing them for college classes. State Superintendent of public interaction and CSU trustee, Delaine Eastin, complimented the committee and its trustees for listening to the "concern of the people of California, (This policy) assures access and excellence." She said, "for too long each system has thought itself apart from each other. (The CSU system) crashes and burns if we don't strengthen K-12." "We will talk publicly about the failures," Chancellor Barry Munitz said at a press conference after the board meeting, mentioning that it could be the public schools or the CSU that could be singled outfor correction. Lt. Gov. Gray Davis, a trustee, offered an amendment to the policy, stating that the 2001,2004,and2007timeliness could be accelerated if progress See REMEDIAL, page 12 �Students active in health advisory ances, and asses needs.

From cruising cars, long telephone calls, TV shows, and just hangingout—however, none of the voices were as loud as the voice of the future or, the voiceof success, orofachievementthrough the Upward Bound Program at CSUSM— alias Stairmaster U. Typical of one of the sixty-one students in the UB program, was Jonathan B. Rasmussen, a twelfth grade student from Oceanside High School. Instead of playing volleyball, his favorite sport, he was giving an informational speech, in Jennifer Kissick's speech communication class, on the intricacies and strategies of the sport. According to Rasmussen, UB has kept him on the right scholastic track by continually providing him with opportunities to interact with staff, instructors, and students who share his of dream of overcoming many obstacles and graduating from college. Though both parents work and have other children who need their time, they still manage to support Rasmussen in his quest to get through college. Said Rasmussen, "UB has been one of the most positive forces in my life." A life in the ministry, helping others, is one of his goals, after achieving his dream of graduating. James Hatter,fromthe Hupa Nation in Northern California, would have enjoyed "hanging out" with friends he has met through UB,fromPauma Valley. Thanks toUB, he wants to help Native Americans with the many legal problems that beset them today. Hatter plans to "finishing high school with honors and then getting a masters degree in law." Hatter complemented his family for their strong support of his efforts and told about his "role model Father* who started at the bottom in the construction industry and through hard work has worked his wayup.

The new classroom building will add much needed space, and will hold the campus community over until building 15 becomes a reality in 1998, if Prop. 203 passes. The Pride would like to thank the CSUSM Foundation for it's contribution of funds to the construction of the new building. It will be nice to see a visible example of what the Foundation's purpose is and has been: to support the University. Scholarships and gifts have been pleasant, but a building will be a lasting example to future generations of what the Foundaion has helped to accomplish.

Their company, NetRiders, covers internet consulting and page design. Their emphasis is in presenting seminars to companies on setting up the net. Hernandez and Nonrudi teach business how to get on line and how to use the internet. Then they hook them up. Net Riders clients are mostly in San Diego, but they have a few out of state. Using their computer engineering skills, combined with their business skills, they created the business they wanted. Initiating the Net Riders was not a one step job. Hernandez and Nonrudi started a different business with the same name in 1994. Thefirstbusinessventure was screen printing and embroidery. They created everything from T-shirts and jackets to bumper stickers and pencils. The sole purpose in selling those items was to earn enough profit to start the company they now have. Hernandez and Nonrudi can be contacted by e-mail at nonrudi@mailhostl.csusm.edu or by phone at (619) 967-1130.

On the night of Feb. 23, her son, along with three other pedestrians, was killed after being run down by an 18-year-old male suspected of driving under the influence. Divis, a sophomore at UCSB and a graduate of Rancho Buena Vista High School, was 20 years old. Though his life may have been brief, he affected people in a way that will not be forgotten. "I had him in my class for all four years," said Jim Livingston, a German teacher at RBVHS. Livingston recalled Divis as "a very good student in class...a questioner." Livingston added, "It breaks your heart. You always think that your students will outlive you and you never think of the other possibility." Many relatives, long-time friends, acquaintances and teachers attended a memorial service for Divis, Tield at the Oceanside Harbor on Friday, March 2. The mood was somber, with tears and laughter, as people shared their favorite memories of Divis. Pictures, artwork and flowers adorned the beach memorial while a harpist played and sang to the crowd. Friends and family thanked the crowd for all of their support and for cherishing Divis' memory. The three other victims were Nicholas Shaw Bourdakis, 20, UCSB student; Ruth Dasha Golda Levy, 20, a Santa Barbara City College student; and Elie Israel, 27, of San Francisco.

The Festival String Quartet's program is part of the "Classical Women's Series," sponsored by the Spring Arts & Lecture Series. Although the concert was planned in part to celebrate women's achievements, University Arts & Lecture Coordinator Bonnie Biggs said, "We make a point of featuring women artists and scholars all year long, not just in March. Our student body is between 65 and 70 percent female, and we have one of the most diverse faculty gender-wise in the CSU system." Biggs mentioned there had been numerous requests to have a quartet perform at Cal State San Marcos, and she was very pleased to host the concert. The Festival String Quartet's two-hour performance featured pieces from the Romantic and Classical periods, including quartets by Joseph Haydn, Dmitri Shostakovich and W.A. Mozart. Viola player Mary Gerard introduced each piece to the audience, and the quartet demonstrated different .notes and specific combinations distinctive to each composer. She also shared personal anecdotes about the composers and spoke about the social and political issues that influenced the music composed during the Classical and Romantic Eras.

Gerard urged the audience to "experience the tragedy of human existence," and to listen with an open ear. "Haydn, and Mozart especially, capture the feel, spirit and smell of all the ages," she said, "and this is the thread that knits together the music we will perform for you tonight." In 1971, violinist Mary Karo founded what was originally the Festival String Trio, which has grown to include second violinist Robie Evans and cellist Jennifer Holson. All four women have played professionally for organizations that include the San Diego Opera, the San Diego Symphony, the San Diego Chamber Orchestra, the Starlight Opera and the San Diego Comic Opera. Performing at Cal State San Marcos was important for the quartet because the advent of the all-woman quartet is a very recent one. "If you look at professional quartets, most of them have been men; all the principle quartets have been men," Holson said. "It's great to play with all women and with friends/* Campus Isfews Local News One StMfenfi Concern Over Construction SiteRunoff Opinion Article Page 11 Opinion This Paper �Tim Bills Is the New Assistant Dean of Students By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer Students wanting to withdraw from Cal State San Marcos will first have to get past Tim Bills. CSUSM's new Assistant Dean of Students is serious about keeping students in school. "I think I can have a very positive impact on a student who is considering withdrawing from the university. I'm one of the first stops in that process." Bills describes himself as "a bluercollar, roll up my sleeves, not necessarily high profile kind of person." Making the recent transition from his position as associate director of GEAR-UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) at Grant Middle School in Escondido to that of Assistant Dean of Students, Bills explains that "the impact of these outreach programs is a little bigger here than at other schools because we're such a new university and don't have in place a lot of the things that have been proven to increase retention of students." "Students who live on campus at least their first year are much more likely to be retained due to developing support groups, establishing autonomy with parents," says Bills. "Some of those things are not built into the CSUSM experience, so these programs are very critical to establish a balance of challenge and support, without creating stagnancy." Rather than seeing this new position as a shift in his career, Bills feels that being the assistant dean is something for which his previous work has been preparatory. "With more than 10 years of experience in various aspects of student development, in many ways I'm in my element here," explains Bills. "This position pulls together a lot of the responsibilities that I have been preparing for in my educational background as well as in my experiential background. Since 1986, I've been working in Residential Life, Orientation, College Success Programs, and Greek Life." Hired on Jan. 13 as Assistant Dean of Students, Bills began working immediately on putting together a proposal for activities surrounding the upcoming Cesar Chavez holiday; a program he hopes will see participation from all areas of the campus community. "For someone who has spent their entire professional life on a college campus, this is a unique opportunity to s£e a community develop," says Bills. >>Article cont. on page 8 Professor Survives 7.6 Earthquake Glub S upport Brings D onations to Salvadorian S tudents By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor Dr. Rosario Diaz-Greenberg didn't expect to survive an earthquake or to watch the devastation of her homeland when she returned to El Salvador in January. A CSUSM professor for the College of Education, Diaz-Greenberg teaches Education for Cultural Diversity. Over the winter break, she had returned home to El Salvador to teach "Curriculum Design and Implementation" to 25 members of the National Curriculum Writing Unit who are in charge of developing and writing the curriculum for the country. She had planned to return home on January 17, but the earthquake caused damage to the airport and her return flight was canceled until the airport reopened on January 24. At 11:30 am on Jan. 13, an earthquake toppled part of "La Cordillera del Balsamo" (the Balsam Mountain), in Santa Tecla, killing over eight hundred people. The housing development where the people died is called "Las Colinas," which means hills, according to Diaz-Greenberg. A 7.6 on the Richter scale, the earthquake lasted for 45 seconds. Since Fransisca Vides, age 68, sits observing the destruction in Santa Maria Ostuma, La Paz. Many people were affected by the Feb. 13 earthquake in El Salvador (www.elsalvador.com/Courtesy Photo) that day, there have been more than 2,000 aftershocks. Because of repeated aftershocks, structural damage to the buildings continues. El Salvador is the smallest nation in Central America, but also the most densely populated. Only 21,000 kilometers long, El Salvador has close to six million people within its borders. It is the same size as the San Diego and Imperial counties put together, or the size of the state of Massachusetts. El Salvador's National Emergency Committee reports that 283 people have died; 2,937 people have been injured; 173,356 people have been affected; and 32,148 homes have been destroyed. On Feb. 13, at 8:22 am, a second large earthquake hit with a 6.6 on the Richter scale. Over 1,566 schools were damaged or destroyed, and more than 1.5 million students were affected. The Candelari^ Elementary School fell with the second earthquake. Many students died during the earthquake. Ann Elizabeth De Chicas, the kindergarten teacher at the school, succeeded in helping most of her class out of the building before she was killed by a collapsing wall. Six children remained in the classroom where De Chicas died, and only one boy survived. Tobins Navidad, a boy who was late to school because he had to guide his blind grandfather to his aunt's house that morning, watched his teacher and best friend die in the collapse of his school. Dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, he calmly explained in Spanish how "some of my friends, a beam fell on their head." , According to Greenberg, 19 students died at Candelaria, including Tobias' kindergarten class. Greenberg noted that physically, most of the children are unharmed, but "mentally and emotionally, the earthquake was a horrible ordeal." The cost of the repairs for all of the schools is over $28 million in U.S. dollars. "Even though the government would like to give priority to schools, at this point there is not enough food or water for the almost two million people who were affected," said DiazGreenberg. »Article cont on page 8 C SUSM Participates in College Awareness M onth By: Amber Zinsky Pride Staff Writer ship.

The workshop also Barbara. The web site reported that classmates said Attias "seemed disturbed and has acted strangely in recent months." Lieutenant Michael Burridge, Public Information Officer for the Santa Barbara Police Department, said, "We do not believe that the suspect knew any of the victims." A California Highway Patrol report included details of how "five victims were thrown forward, some being knocked out of their shoes and socks." No motive for the incident is known at this time. "The California Highway Patrol estimated that he was going 55 to 60 mph, much faster than the 25 mph posted speed limit," Burridge said. He also said that a full blood panel test would be returned sometime next week. This test will reveal the level of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both that may have been in Attias's body. The Daily Nexus reported that "Attias is being charged with four counts of murder, four counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, and five counts of felony driving under the influence with injuries." His arraignment is scheduled for March 6. Dr. Miriam Schustack, acting dean for the College of Arts & Sciences, is asking the college community to offer Sally Divis and her family "sympathy, support and prayers." Dr. Schustack also urged students to visit the Counseling and Psychological Services if they are "in distress over this loss to Sally," and faculty and staff can call the Employee Assistance Program at 1-800-342-8111. Christopher Divis, one of the UCSB students that was killed by a suspected DUI driver. (NBC7/Courtesy Photo) Students Mourn Loss of Divis included basic motions, voting and formal meeting procedures. Many clubs announced their upcoming events, including Circle K International's El Salvador school-supply drive, the Future Educators Club's plans for a Teacher's Fair, the Peer Education and Support programs (PEAS) plans of hosting a Health Fair and other workshops, and the PreLaw Society's plans for a Future Lawyer's Day. Old business was discussed, including scheduled events for Women's Herstory Month for March and plans for a week-long Cesar Chavez celebration. With the hope that more clubs will attend all ICC meetings and become more involved, the new business of the afternoon was the discussion of the possibility of establishing a President's Council in place of the Inter-Club Committee for fall 2001. Brad Schmidt, Club Services Technician, said that some ICC representatives may not report back to their clubs and the ICC meeting information may not get back to all the club members. Some club members argued that it was too much to ask for all the club presidents to come to monthly meetings; they said that the clubs' designated representatives should be enough. To encourage clubs to attend to the ICC meetings, ICC now has a raffle for a $5 discount from the coffee cart. Clubs that attend all ICC meetings will receive a table, free-of-charge, at the Annual Club Recognition Night scheduled for May. I.C.C meetings are held every other Friday.

Bush, in a nationally televised speech to the joint session of Congress, unveiled his new budget plan, including a $1.6 trillion dollar tax cut. Bush began with jokes about the close presidential race, then outlined changes in education, focusing on literacy, Social Security reform, new restraints on federal spending, the restructuring of Medicare and his proposed $1.6 trillion dollar tax cut over the next 10 years. "Let the American people spend their own money to meet their own needs," said Bush. Bush wants to boost the economy with tax cuts based on a projected government surplus over the next 10 years. "The surplus is not the government's money," Bush said, "the surplus is the people's money." He said that by concentrating on giving back to the taxpayers, people would have more money, spend more, and consume more, and stimulate the economy. "The people of America have been overcharged, and on their behalf I'm here asking for a refund," said Bush. This was one of many statements that brought standing ovations and some 85 pauses for applause. Not everyone readily accepted his plans.

Li-Young Lee Stages Poetry for Carlsbad Audience • By: Jayne Braman Pride Grad Intern "I think that all art, all true art, provides a very specific service and that service is the service of disillusionment. If it adds to our illusion, then it's not art... If it takes away our illusion in order to uncover sacred reality, which is better off to me, then it's art," said nationally-renown poet, Li-Young Lee. He continued, "Art clears you so that you have no more illusions, you see reality, but reality is so big, so mysterious and manifold, and scary, and beyond understanding that sometimes we would rather have the illusion. In this way, all art is apocalypse; the moment you put your pen to a paper, it's apocalyptic, something is revealed. It is my hunger for reality that makes me write poetry." Award-winning poet, Li-Young Lee, educated and enthused an audience at the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Center on Friday, March 2. Lee read requested selections of his published poetry, and then he treated his audience to selections from his yet unpublished book of lullabies.

Napster Inc. stated that it would officially begin screening copyrighted materials from being traded on its server. The Court of Appeals' revision is only a modification of the original injunction that would force Napster to shut down all free "peer-to-peer" sharing of music files. The injunction is one of several landmark events that have transpired within the music-sharing controversy. Last month, Napster had proposed to pay $1 billion dollars in licensing fees to the major recording labels and charge its users membership fees, but the Recording Industry Association of America promptly turned down the offer. Under the proposed business model, Napster would have paid $150 million dollars per year to BMG, Sony, Universal, EMI, Warner and $50 million to smaller independent recording firms. The amount paid to each company would be relative to the amount of songs traded under the Napster server.

But charging membership fees and screening song titles are not the only alternatives available to avid traders of MP3s and music files over the Internet. Alternate servers and web sites are readily available, whether or not Napster shuts down or begins charging its members. When students were asked about the idea of paying a membership fees for Napster, several Cal State San Marcos students had mixed reactions. When asked about the possibility of paying a membership fee for Napster services sophomore student and Computer Science major Chaflermyod Sakulterdkiat said, "No one will pay for mp3s. If Napster starts charging, people will look for another web site to get mp3s. Originally MP3s were free and people won't pay for music they could get elsewhere " Whether the Napster community is forced to stop trading music files or a service fee is eventually charged, there will always be different methods of electronically sharing MP3s. While one site dies, another web site or trading program emerges to take its place.

If you have ever been to the local north county beaches, such as Stone Steps and Beacons in Leucadia, you have probably seen the intricate sand art of the Circle Man. A resident of Leucadia for over thirty years, Vanallyn has been performing his sand art for the last four years. He used to contrive most of his work at Beacons, but because of the loss of beach sand, Vanallyn had to move to Stone Steps Beach. When asked why he chose sand art as his means for expression, Vanallyn said, "I love to be in nature and this is a great way to interact with people.. .the children love it." Vanallyn believes in what he calls sacred geometry, the idea that all things have a natural harmony and interconnectedness. He works from a central contour and then builds off each consecutive outline to form the final piece. "I enjoy the meditative ritual The Pride Arts & Entertainment By: Angela Oesterle Pride Staff Writer Kirk Vanallyn does geometric art on the beach. (Cristine Averill/Pride Photo) of perfecting the designs and feeling how the shapes fit together," said Vanallyn. He uses an "artistrial compass," a tool that he made from an old cross-country machine and other spare parts. He also controls the burm (perimeter) of the lines with a stylus and uses different rake heads to create a variety of lines and shapes. On one occasion, Vanallyn started his piece before sunrise, using headlamps, which only provided minimal light. When the sun finally peaked over the horizon he had completed a gigantesque labyrinth in the sand. Vanallyn has also done largescale artwork for the Golden Door and Rancho La Puerta, where, for their sixty-year celebration, CSUSM welcomed acclaimed poet and author Marge Piercy on Monday, February 26. After minor technical difficulties, Piercy delivered her poetry to the diverse crowd of literature and writing majors, women studies students and interested individuals gathered in ACD 102. Piercy's visit to the campus was the second stop on her busy 2001 calendar and proved to be a memorable one. After raving introductions from Sociology professor Dr. Sharon Elise and Creative Writing professor Brandon Cesmat, Piercy began her reading with a poem from her collection, The Moon is Always Female. "This is aimed to any of you that are apprenticing in the he decorated their Olympic-size arts," said Piercy. soccer field with 2700 pounds of During the hour-long poetry gravel.

She responded, "Poems for. college students would address various age groups from about nineteen and up." Piercy, who has published more than a dozen poetry books and novels, began writing when she was 15 years old. Although Piercy has published several of her works, she found that being recognized in the literary field was difficult, especially since she was woman. Then in 1980 she emerged with a book of poetry, The Moon is Always Female. Since the publication of that collection of poems, Piercy has not stopped creating remarkable works of fiction and poetry. Marge Piercy's next poetry reading will be March 23 at the University of Arizona in TUcson.

Zapatistas on the Move: Film Presented bv M EChA By: Nathan Fields Feature Editor More than thirty students were transported to the mountains of the Mexican southeast Wednesday and Thursday nighte when MEChA presented Zapatista/. This film documents the struggle of the indigenous people in the Mexican state of Chiapas for government recognition and land rights. MEChA chose to show the film twice; Wednesdays' showing was for Spanish speakers, and Thursday's was for English. With its well-respected celebrity figures, hip-hop beats and crisp and colorfully vibrant cinematography, the film wields a hard-hitting and captivating modern edge. The film features narration from Mumia Abu-Jamal, Edward James Olmos, Geronimo Pratt, Zach de la Rocha, and interviews with Medea Benjamin, Noam Chomsky, Subcomandante Marcos and various leaders of the revolutionary army. "Without land, they can only sell their labor anymore;" said Zach de la Rocha, lead singer of Rage Against the Machine referring to the marginalization of Mexico's indigenous population. The Zapatistas, taking their name from the hero of the Mexican revolution, Emiliano Zapata, are a revolutionary army composed of Mexican Indians. They have been training in the jungles of southern Mexico for over three decades before rising up and speaking out against the neo-liberal policies of the Mexican government which turned over indigenous lands to private, and sometimes foreign companies. Ricardo Favela, president of MEChA, explained that the group chose to show the film now in order to support an extensive march to Mexico City begun last week by the Zapatistas to lobby Mexico's Congress for the passage of an indigenous rights bill that seeks to protect the rights of Mexico's various Indian populations. The march, attended by the top leaders of the Zapatista army, marks the first time these officials have left the state of Chiapas since the uprising in opposition to NAFTA and the Mexican government on January 1, 1994. By allowing multinational corporations to take advantage of Mexico's impoverished and large labor force, NAFTA may be increasing the poverty of the marginalized poor in Mexico. For the Zapatistas, there is the hope that the new PAN government, under Mexican president Vicente Fox, will be more receptive to the Zapatistas than the previous PRI party, which held power for more than 70 years. The film was preceded by a short discussion about Emiliano Zapata, and followed by an energetic bilingual discussion on topics ranging from international politics and economics to reforming the governments both north and south of the U.S.-Mexican border. "With so much corruption in the Mexican government on all levels, what can we do about this? What can be done?" asked Guadalupe Canseco, a Spanish Literature Major and native of Southern Mexico. "In Mexico, people see the Indians, yes, as part of our roots, as part of our history, but they see them as less than us. We want Mexico to be this more modern nation instead of embracing them." Despite much popular international support of the Zapatistas since their uprising in 1994, international political response has focused on economic implications of the human rights movement. U.S. government and business officials responded by urging the Mexican government to eradicate the Zapatista communities in order to preserve the country's economic credibility. More than half of Mexico's army and various bands of pro-government para-military groups now surround the communities. The Mexican Government, Subcomandante Marcos (Big Noise/Courtesy Photo) according to Noam Chomsky, finds itself facing communities with more highly developed forms of democracy in place and a revolutionary army that acts defensively, with passive resistance. The film reports that the Zapatistas haven't fired a shot since Dec 12, 1994. "We don't want to overthrow the government and put ourselves in its place," asserted Subcomandante Marcos, the first leader of the revolutionary army, "we want to create and open space for democracy and dialogue." The rebels left Chiapas Feb. 25 and will travel through nine states before reaching the capital on March 6. They expect to be joined by sympathizers along the way; the rebels will march in the ski masks that have become their movement's symbol. �Steal This Movie: The Only Film that Can Declare "Sacred Cow Makes the Best Hamburger." By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor. "Once you have their attention, they never, ever forget you," announced actor Vincent D'Onfrio while starring as Abbie Hoffman. From the All-American Jimi Hendrix song in the opening credits to the end at Hoffman's suicide, the newly released rental Steal This Movie dares to piece together the jagged edges of Hoffman's life. A revolutionary leftist leader in the 1960s, Hoffman and the Chicago Seven shook up America m protest of the Vietnam War. Beginning in 1977 with Hoffman pitching his story to a reporter, Steal This Movie sends the viewer down a strange trip through time. Most of the film is a flashback, yet the editing remains flawless in transitioning between the different times. D'Onfrio captures the personal side of Hoffman but loses some of the zeal in public. Yet, his acting is stunning the second half of the film as Hoffman begins to lose control of his manic depression. Director Robert Greenwald credited Abbie and Anita Hoffman as the writers of Steal This Movie and, indeed, the film carries the emphasis of many exact quotes from moments in Hoffman's life. Somewhat Casablanca-like in its approach, the viewer gets a rare treat of romance, intrigue, scandal, politics and true history wrapped into one real-life revolutionary figure. The film takes a slanted look through the eyes of Anita and others in his life as they proceed to tell a reporter their version of the true Abbie Hoffman. The film is also based off of Marty Jezer's novel, Abbie Hoffman: American Rebel. Both the film and the novel claim Hoffman as "one of the most inventive community organizers in American History." Anita, played by Janeane Garafalo, was Hoffman's wife and mother to his one child, America. Although she is incredible in every role she takes on, playing Anita has brought new merit to Garafalo's acting career. Much like Meg Ryan did for Pamela Morrison in Oliver Stone's film The Doors, Garafalo seizes her opportunity to show to the world, not only the courage and strength but also the individuality of the wife of a controversial man in the spotlight. Although Steal This Movie frames the events of 1960s and '70s around Abbie Hoffman, the the film doesn't leave enough room for his charm, and his great presence on screen distracts from the focus upon Hoffman (D'Onfrio). Rubin was a journalist before helping to lead many of the riots alongside Hoffman. Often described as the P.T. Barnum of the Revolution by media, Rubin was a master at manipulating media attention. He often pulled ingenious and obnoxious antics, such as tossing money from the balcony of the New York Stock draft. Rubin died in 1994 after being hit by a car while jaywalking. In addition to the disappointing directorial choice, another disappointment of the film is the dismissal of Hoffman's ties to the Black Panthers. One of the Chicago Seven, Bobby Seale was one of the major leaders of the Black Panthers and was the only one ball-gagged and tied down during the trial. Although the film never explores the connections between the two radical Vincent D'Onfrio (playing Abbie), Janeane Garafalo (playing Anita) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (playing Johanna), all stars in thefilm,Steal This Movie. (www.imdb.com/CourtesyPhoto) Chicago Seven made their impact together. Each of the members was a powerful key player in the protests of this ,time. Disappointingly, through directorial choice, the film loses touch with the relationships between the seven. Leaving the viewer wanting to know more about why Jerry Rubin and Hoffman went from good friends to bitter enemies, too many gaps are left for us to be able to fill in the spaces. Kevin Cofrigan, best known as Eliot in 1998's Slums of Beverly Hills, play Jerry Rubin. Corrigan is witty, charming and just a fantastic actor. The problem is that Exchange. Although what he and Hoffman did was only considered a prank, their point was driven home when the stockbrokers scrambled to gather as much of the money as they could. The point? Greed drives our commercial culture. The film shoots through the point of view of news broadcast to bring this image to life. The effect manages to clarify the absurdity of the prank, stockbrokers and media. The real Rubin had a cameo role in the 1989 hit, Rude Awakenings, about two hippies that come back from the woods after twenty years of dodging the groups, the viewer learns that Hoffman generously donates all the profits from his novel, Steal This Book, to the Black Panther Party. The Chicago Seven were arrested in 1968 for disrupting the Democratic National Convention by inciting a riot. On film, the famous trial for the riot in 1968 of the Chicago Seven in 1970 takes place exactly as it did in the real world. Almost word for word, Hoffman delivers his speech, but the most eloquent prose from Hayden and Rubin are edited and drowned out by the movie soundtrack written by Mader. Released during the Democratic Convention of 2000, timing of the film's release could not have been more perfect. Last summer the Democratic Convention watched rioters tear apart the streets of Los Angeles, Abbie Hoffmann style. Music, partying and chants survived despite continual attacks from police. The beauty of the film is how D'Onfrio stops addressing the courtroom scene actors when giving his final speech about youth and revolution, but shifts his focus to the camera's eye, attempting to reach out to the unseen and unknown viewers. The film's final message ties into a quote from Hoffman to young people in every generation, "Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit" , Before nis suicide in 1989, Hoffman was known for his quick wit and one-liners, such as "Sacred cow makes the best hamburger." The film tries to show that as his depression took over his life, the zealous Hoffman was soon lost in the violent paranoia of a manic-depressive. Yet, Anita suggests and proves by the end of the film, that Hoffman had good reason for his fright. When Hoffman resurfaced after five years of hiding, the wear and tear of running from the F.B.I, showed greatly upon him. Still, he managed to continue spreading his message until the end of his life. Although Hoffman declared, "no one can imagine any of this unless they've lived it," Steal This Movie allows for a more insightful glimpse into the Yippie (Youth International Party) Movement and the counter-culture revolutionary movement of the 1960s. The film is rated R by MPAA and is 107 minutes long and available for rental at most video stores. An Intimate Evening with Gregory Page By: Tim Farmer Pride Staff Writer "This is how music was meant to be played. Friends sitting around in a living room, no amplifiers, no noisy coffee makers^ just music," said Gregory Page while singing in the home of local poet, Lizzie Wann. As part of the Meeting Grace concert series on Thursday, February 15, guitarist Gregory Page played a flawless acoustical performance for an audienge of thirty-five. The first highlight of the evening was his performance of "Goodnight, Saturday Night," a comical song about a Saturday night in which he gets drunk and getslaid(byahooker)andreminisces about his ex-girlfriend, who is now a lesbian because of him. The second highlight was when Page granted my personal song requiest, "Diamonds and Gold." Between every song, Page told humorous and interesting anecdotes. Page explained how he came to San Diego from London in 1976, when he was 16, and that he used to play classical guitar. He broke out the nylon string classical guitar and played a piece he used to perform for his family in their living room while he was growing up. Page's classical roots were evident when he played "Kensington Rag," a very melodic instrumental song that he wrote while sitting in Kensington Park. "How You Came To Me" was a song about Page finding his long lost father over the Internet and their very first encounter. "Roses in the Sand" was written by Page and Sally Taylor, the daughter of legendary folk musician, James Taylor. James Taylor had asked Sally to cover one of Page's songs in a concert; Page told the audience that he was flattered that a great musician, such as James Taylor, even thought of him. Before playing "Walking in the Park," Page informed us that the song was downloaded over 20,000 times on the local based web site, MP3, for Valentine's Day. During intermission, the audience ate homemade brownies and cookies in Lizzie Wann's kitchen and rubbed elbows with G r e g o r y p a g e Page, asking him questions about his start in San Diego. While his performance was fantastic, the most amazing thing about Gregory Page was his Gregory Page is a local musician. He often performs for Meeting Grace Concert Series.

Dean of Students »Article cont. from pg 2 He adds, "That's just very exciting to me. There's so much opportunity for student life to really define itself when the university is so young." Bills felt drawn to San Diego for. some time. "I grew up on a 100-acre farm in Oil City, Pennsylvania, not far from where the first oil well was discovered in this country. I am a first generation college student. My dad graduated high school and worked in the coal industry. My mom didn't graduate high school. I was the first in my family to go to college, and have inspired my bothers and sister to do so. I feel a kinship with students who are first generation college students, and I want to support them in getting the most out of their college experiences." He came to Cal State San Marcos in the fall of 1998. "I initially came here to be the coordinator of orientation and Greek affairs here on campus. I thought it would be a great way to help develop the campus community at CSUSM."

"I am here for students to turn to in order to make full use of what we have here both on a personal basis and on an organizational basis. I am looking at much more than a student's in-class experience and academic success. I am concerned with a student's total experience and personal development, and in helping shape that environment and those experiences." Bills' own unique college experiences greatly determined his career in institutional academics. "I took computer science for two years and did very well, but it was a major that would get me a job, and I realized I needed to find a major that fit who I was. So I made a very conscious decision to be a psych major, though I'd never taken any psychology courses. And later, I made a conscious decision to work on college campuses." Bills encourages every student to take the time in school to consider what they really want out of their college experience. With his master's degree in College Student Personnel, Bills explains, "I was preparing directly for student development and student affairs.

Asked what his plans for the next few years might be, Bills spoke immediately of completing his Ph.D. "Working on my dissertation in higher education has probably been the biggest frustration of my life, to tell you the truth. I was the type of doctoral student who extended himself too far, and I left my doctoral program before I completed it, which everyone will tell you not to do. Don't leave before you're finished. But this position is one that really motivates me to complete my Ph.D. The more professionals we have here on campus, the more academic an environment it can become and the more partnerships that can be initiated." He hopes to schedule time this summer to work on his dissertation. Focused and diligent in this new position, soft-spokeil Bills also speaks fondly of his home life on a mountainside in Ramona with his wife and 5-month-old son. Bills is also the legal guardian of his 19-year-old brother, ja senior in high school, and says laughingly, "I'm sure he'll be going to college, maybe even Cal State San Marcos." Bills turned 37 two weeks ago and insists that, "working on a college campus keeps me young, and having a child gives me the opportunity to explore so many new things." T ribal Libraries H ope t o Recieve G rant »Article cont. from page 2 the state grant includes a developmental program that would involve professionals from the university and elsewhere to teach library skills, such as research and cataloging, to the reservation library staff. In the federal grant, Biggs' proposal goes a step further and attempts to establish CSUSM as a research and training center for San Diego county Native American tribes. The proposed center would be a place where tribal leaders could seek out and create an open exchange among professional linguists, anthropologists and librarians that work on campus. She believes that the state grant will be approved sometime towards the end of March; however, the federal grant is still in the processing stage and final acceptance is pending. Another aspect of Biggs' proposals is to facilitate the integration of technology within the libraries. She hopes to get com- puters with Internet access for children at the reservations since most of them attend schools off of the reservation and have no place to study and research when they come home. Biggs hopes that the computer technology will develop simultaneously with the reorganization of tribal libraries. This will provide not only a place to research, but also a station where computersavvy children can interactively learn about their own past and language.

Some web sites are intended to promote the sale of a product, some intend to be entertaining, and some are artistic self-expressions. The intent of some web sites, such as www.bonsaikitten.com, however, is not immediately obvious. Bonsai Kitten contains background on the art of Bonsai and explains the application of Bonsai on kittens. The site goes into some detail explaining the process and the different shape jars in which to mold the kitten. Photographs of the process are also contained on the Gallery page. More careful evaluation of the Bonsai Kitten site reveals that it is all a parody. The pictures do not include any "final" versions of the supposed Bonsai animal shaping, nor does the page purport to sell the paraphernalia. There are no prices or means of ordering. The site is intended to amuse and irritate people, and from the letters posted on the guest book, it certainly does an effective job. Whether or not the Bonsai Kitten web site was intended to test the limits of freedom of speech is unclear; nevertheless, that is what is happening. According to the Electronic Freedom Foundation, www.eff.org, "The 'Bonsai Kitten' parody site that lampoons hypersensitivity gets bitten by precisely that—FBI launches bogus criminal investigation and attacks parodist's anonymity, while multiple organizations attack the satirists' Internet access in a startling display of hysteria, intolerance and lack of sense of humor." The Internet provides an opportunity for free speech. Today anyone can publish a web page and use it for just about anything. The outcome of government investigations of sites such as Bonsai Kitten, and people calling for legal action against such sites, will have important effects on free speech on the Internet.

Let's look at this in a less than usual way. Imagine America as a giant volcanic island, the summit of the volcano shining bright, high above the dingy plains below. Now look close to the region where the parched land meets the battering sea. Here you see those in the lowest rung of the socioeconomic ladder. Here you see people living in such poverty that the tattered and worn clothes they wear are among their most prized possessions. They struggle to find food of any kind. They rarely look towards the volcano, for a moment of distraction may result in a wave throwing them into the sea. Looking just past the sea-spray soaked soil, you see a group of people that manage to barely feed and clothe themselves. They toil every day to just survive. They possess very few personal items. Occasionally, these people find the strength to wonder what it must be like to live where the thunderous surf cannot be heard. Walking inland you see people that feed and clothe their families. Shelters are built to keep the spring rains off their heads. You walk along the poorly maintained roads, peering into the faces of children that know sorrow. Walking on further, you encounter a group of people that appear fairly well nourished. Their houses are built of sturdier materials. They have some luxury items, such as radios and televisions. You recognize that the language you hear is slowly changing from that spoken near the water. As you begin to enter the foothills of the giant volcano you see organized homesteads. The people here are well fed and possess many luxury items. The houses now have skirts of lawn. You see phone and cable lines attached to every house. You can also detect the slight curve of the base of the volcano. There is slightly less room here for a population as large as that on the plains near the sea. You begin to climb the gentle sides of the volcano. Here you encounter several vehicles per dwelling. The homes are large enough to shelter many families, but you can only detect three or four inhabitants in each. The people appear to throw away slightly used luxury items as well as an incredible amount of edible food. Higher up the slopes, there is a definite grade that impedes your progress. The curvature of the volcano is readily apparent. There is very little space for many people here, yet the few people that are present seem to spend a majority of their time lounging around. These people seem to have somehow temporarily borrowed individuals from the lower parts of the island. These borrowed people are completing all the labor-intensive work. Strangely enough, you notice that the borrowed people are only allowed to be at certain places at specific times up here. Additionally, the higher altitude must have some how caused the pigmentation in their skins to fade as few people here have the dark tan color of those by the sea. Almost to the pinnacle now, you are amazed at the manicured flora adjacent to the well-kept roads. You know that these trees and plants normally grow nearer the sea, but have been magically transplanted up here in the thinning air. The few houses present are so vast that you wonder if they are factories. The materials the homes are made of are not indigenous to this island. The altitude here has so bleached the skin that the people hide under layers of the most wondrous cloth you have ever seen. At the peak now, you pause. Before seeing who lives up here, you turn and look below. You can clearly see the glimmering houses immediately below you. Slightly beyond you can barely make out the work force of borrowed people. The further down you look, the hazier the images appear. You cannot see the simple houses close to the shoreline. Those living at the surf line are obliterated by the glare of the sun on the water. The island, contrary to what you know, seems like a wonderful place to live. It seems that everyone has beautiful houses and people to maintain the grounds. You close your eyes and turn around. Opening them, you see coming out of the mist a huge White House. Now imagine watching someone trying to leave the zone in which they where WAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO born. A figure struggles to escape the thrashing of the waves. If lucky enough to scramble up the rocks without being thrown in to the sea, the figure finds itself in a strange new world. Although the people here are very similar, they speak a slightly different dialect. What is worse, they seem to resent the intrusion. Their curiosity quickly turns to anger as the figure attempts to eat some of their food. The intruder either is pushed back, killed, or escapes to an area of poorer resources in the sea-spray zone. Fastforward several zones. You now see a figure trying to drive its SUV higher up the volcano. Immediately the SUV has trouble with the steeper grade. Increasing amounts of gas are used to maintain the climb. Soon, the SUV is out of fuel, but the figure cannot afford the price for even a single gallon of gas up here. Additionally, those that live up here are resentful of the "crappy" car the figure has brought to their neighborhood. Although, they claim that they would never chase someone away (or worse yet - kill them), they exert pressure in the form of ostracizing and defacing any trespasser. I think you get the idea. Now, what can be done? I have come up with 5 solutions. First, destroy the volcano (Marxism?). Second, build a rapid transit system through different volcanic zones (education?). Third, create zonal mountains (Capitalism?). Fourth, ignore the s ummit (Zen Buddhism?). 5th, u nify all those in the zone and advance up the volcano (Coup de Grace?).

Skovgard �Something Very Wrong with Erosion Campus Construction Floods Parking Lot By : Nathan Fields Pride Feature Editor Amanda and Kai of the Environmental Club watch as water drains past the sandbags placed to stop the water and silt. (Nathan Fields/Pride Photo/) O n M eeting M arge Piercy By: Darcy Walker Pride Opinion Editor A few years ago, my brother recommended I read Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy. I found the novel fascinating, inspiring, and truly unique. I sought out Piercy's poetry, and read the collection, Woman on the Edge of Time, which moved me deeply after my own mother's death. So when I received the Arts and Lectures brochure announcing Marge Piercy's visit, I quickly emailed my Pride editor and claimed the story. During the weeks before Piercy's reading, I prepared. By reading more of her poetry and studying her website, I hoped to get the most out of her talk and to ask her some intelligent questions for The Pride. In one of my classes, we have been studying the writing process in detail, and I added a question about the subject to my short list. On Monday, I sat in the full auditorium listening with ravenous attention, devouring the words like a hungry child. Marge Piercy's poetry was n a disappointment. Her demeanor during the question and answer period, however, left me quite dissatisfied. Tasked Piercy to tell us about her writing process, what rituals she uses, and what inspires her. Slumping across the podium, she replied, "Look. I'm a professional writer. I go to the computer. I write. If I don't write, I don't get paid." The crowd laughed. My face burned, a matchstick flash in the dim auditorium. Piercy's lengthy, albeit offthe-mark answer went on: "The things that are difficult in an art or a sport are things you don't even have to think about five years later."Obviously empathy joins those forgotten things. She went on to mention her new book on how to write, and then wrapped up her answer with, "The simple things, like getting yourself to work, aren't difficult." I had not asked for a magic pill, or the secret recipe for a spell that would not only force an unwilling hand to write, but also make it miraculously produce great literature. I simply wanted a tidbit of insight into the unique writing process of an accomplished author. D oes she drink coffee when she works? Sit in the garden with her cats? What do her first drafts look like? Does she visit the local library for research? Any such crumb would have sufficed. Her apparent assumption that I was just another lazy student looking for an easy solution insulted and embarrassed me. Perhaps I expected too much. Perhaps Marge Piercy has been asked so many lame questions in her time that she expects no more from people. Maybe she has evolved to the point that she no longer sees her writing as a process. She sits down at the computer and it just happens, automatic as breathing. Whatever the case, I did not enter that auditorium expecting to be blessed with the inspiration to go out and claim the Pulitzer. If, however, I am someday successful and lucky enough to share my knowledge with eager, engaged listeners, I hope I remember to treat them with kindness and respect. As a public institution we want to be environmentally friendly, don't we? I asked myself this question Friday morning when I walked down to the west end of parking lot C to find it flooded with mud and water. A friend in the Environmental Club had informed me that the new parking, lot construction area was causing major erosion on campus. A wide and steady current of dark water and mud was flowing down out of the construction site, flooding over the curbs into the natural unpaved gullies, and into the parking lot where it was mudcaking the tires of an entire row of cars. Stepping carefully around the sandbags and onto the curb, mud swallowed my boot up to the ankle. Speaking with Kai and Amanda, members of the CSUSM Environmental club helped me to realize that the problem with such runoff goes far beyond muddy boots and dirty car tires. Run-off leaves our cemented-in world and flows into our man-made storm drains which normally run directly into creeks, lagoons and the ocean. Since Cal State San Marcos is at a higher elevation than much of the surrounding area, anything natural or unnatural leaving in the water flowing off campus seeps into our surrounding environment. Kai explained that "by the look of the water you can see that we have clay, and if there were fish in a nearby creek this would be very unhealthy for them because they need to have free oxygen circulation around their gills. This sediment clogs them." When I asked a construction worker to explain the erosion, I was told, "it's gotta go somewhere." Not that I'm criticizing the construction crew. It seems they were making efforts to combat the problem. When I got to the parking lot, a campus facilities vehicle was laying out rows of sandbags to filter and slow the runoff. I later learned that the bags were being placed in response to Kai's concerned calls to various campus offices. Unfortunately, sandbags are designed to hold back and trap only the heaviest sediment, and some of the worst siltation to have in our streams, creeks and ocean is the very fine particles that sand bags do not stop. Preventing sedimentation of rivers should be a concern of anyone who wants to maintain a healthy natural environment as it increases erosion and compromises the integrity of riverbeds and the health of the surrounding plant and animal life. Of course sediment naturally flows down hills and mountains when it rains, but the runoff at Cal State San Marcos is excessively muddy because of the construction and mining processing of the soil. From a construction worker I learned that there are regulations on stopping sedimentation from construction sites, but he explained that they are rarely enforced. He also mentioned that desilting basins, specifically designed to catch sediment from spreading into natural aqueducts, are usually only built after a problem becomes obvious. He didn't think our campus had a desilting basin. But, he did acknowledge that "there should really be no silt out here", even though there was. The construction crew also graded the dirt in attempts of stemming the tide of the water. However, the rain knocked down the flimsy plastic barriers placed to prevent the sediment from running off. No one reinforced them and, in the meantime, the water continued to flow. To add to the runoff problem, I witnessed a large water tanker spraying the ground in order to force any remaining sediment down into the parking lot. This was considered a remedy! The tanker continued on to spray the students' cars that the runoff muddied. A construction crewmember said it was "technically" called "street-washing", but I d on'tassume to understand terms so "technical." To me it just looked dirty. Imagining all of that runoff carrying sediment and clay into the nearby San Marcos Creek and Batiquitos Lagoon, and eventually the ocean, makes me feel a guilty about supporting this construction with my student fees. As a public institution, we want to be environmentally friendly, don't we? Perhaps I shouldn't assume such things so readily. Nathan Fields rinses his muddy boot. (Melanie Addington/Pride Photo) Eyes on the Road—Hands on the Steering Wheel By: Daniel Huey Pride Staff Writer Modern technology gives new kinds of distractions to motorists, and hand held cellular telephones represent an unnecessary distraction. Back in the days of stagecoach drivers, the only distraction coach drivers faced were ruts in the road or some grungy banditos looking to rob their Wells Fargo satchel. The coachman drove their rig under the open sky through wide-open spaces. If they were lucky, they might see one or two other coaches, and in those days meeting someone on the open road could save their life. However, now the roadways are packed, and everyone is in a hurry. Time is money. We spend a vast amount of time in traffic waiting: waiting for the light to change, waiting for traffic to loosen up so we can drive the freeway speed limit, and waiting for other drivers to give enough space to make a lane change. Accidents happen when drivers quit paying attention to their driving. People using hand held cellular phones cause most of the close calls I experience while driving. Ever have someone almost broadside you while making an illegal left turn while yakking to someone on their cell phone? People who use hand held cellular phones while driving give more attention to their conversation than to their driving. If these people cause an accident, then they affect not only my life but also my family's lives. I think there should be a law banning the use of hand held cellular telephones while driving. There is already a law against using stereo headphones while driving. It is against the law to drive while wearing stereo headphones because drivers who wear them cannot hear the traffic around them—such as an ambulance or someone honking their horn. My peeve is that I do not think that people who use hand held cell phones while driving really pay attention. I think they pay more attention to their conversation than they do to traffic. Their eyes drop from the road to pay attention to dialing the phone and then they pay more attention to their conversation than to what happens on the roadway. Not everyone will agree with what I say, but it will draw a line and open a conversation. Because cell phone users cause most of my close calls in traffic, I think there are other motorists who have similar experiences. I hope this missive alerts people who do use a hand held cellular phone in their car that it is an unsafe driving practice and makes them think about the impact they cause other drivers by unsafe driving. �On Campus Events Tuesday, March 6 Organizing an Academic Essay Time: 12pm-lpm Location: ACD 420 This workshop introduces you to university writing by discussing academic expectations and will help you move beyond the five-paragraph essay.

X V I I N O. 7 Historic Tukwut courtyard dedication BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, March 2, without a cloud in the sky, occasional cool breezes, and the sun shining warmly and brightly, the courtyard near Cougar Central was officially dedicated as Tukwut Courtyard. The beautiful day marked not only a new beginning, but also a continuation of Luiseno Tribal relations that began with the University's first class in 1990. Bonnie Biggs, professor emeritus and tribal liaison to Cal State San Marcos, said, 'Today represents the closing of the circle." She said that the University decided to honor the Luiseno people by seeking out a Native word to serve as an unofficial mascot After Tukwut, the Luiseno word for mountain lion, (pronounced "took-woot") was given to Cal State San Marcos, it was only used intermittently and inconsistently. "Today," Biggs continued, "the student leaders of2006 and 2007 also choose to honor the indigenous people of this land as evidenced by their successful advocacy to rename this courtyard." The dedication ceremony included a dedication prayer from Pauma Band Chairman Chris Devers, who also sang a traditional Luiseno song with his son, Chris Devers Jr. and nephew Gene Dixon.

One of the things that's different about law enforcement is, is that you need to have those qualities in your off duty life as well as your on duty life. This isn't a job where you come to work for eight hours." He added, "We call ourselves public Monday March 5, 2007, the CSUSM Writing Center begins offering assistance through online tutoring. The new program is available to all CSUSM students, and works similar to the in person appointments offered. Like all WC services, the online tutoring is free as well. The center is located in Kellogg 1103, and is open from Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. I n response to the question, what inspired this program, the director of the writing center since 2005, Erin Goldin responded, "Many university writing centers already offer online tutoring. This campus is mostly known as a commuter campus, so many students can't make their way to the writing center for tutoring. This way, busy students can still get help." Now easier than ever, asking for advice about any class paper is achievable in four simple steps through online tutoring. Access the Writing Center website, answer a few simple questions about the assignment like when is it due, what class is it for, and the instructions for the assignment. Next, attach your document, and wait for a response. Writing consultants suggest putting "as much information as possible in response to the questions when submitting online for optimum feedback." Most responses will take three to four business days depending on how busy the consultants are. Goldin still recommends making an appointment to come in whenever possible because it can be "more productive to come in arid spend thirty minutes. The more interaction there is, the more information and feedback the student receives." Students can make appointments online of walk-in anytime to check for available time slots. The center also offers workshops on a variety of different topics every Tuesday during university hour in University Hall? room 440.

Wayne Nelson and two others from the La Jolla Reservation also sang a traditional Luiseno song to commemorate the occasion. About ten Indian speakers spoke during the ceremony which around 100 students, faculty, administration and Luiseno people, including students from a nearby tribal charter school, attended. Each speaker was thankful for the acknowledg- ment and recognition extended to them by the renaming of the courtyard. Chris Devers said, "This is traditional Luiseno territory, and with the name ofthe Tukwut, I commend the student body for continuing to acknowledge that" Patty Duro, Rincon Band Member, said, "Ifs a pleasure to be here and to have our people and our language recognized here." Hunwut Turner, Rincon Band Member and Director of the Rincon Education Center, spoke specifically to the younger Indian students and current students of CSUSM saying, "When they do think about this courtyard, the Tukwut courtyard, they [should] say it loud and strong and proud, and that's what we should all be— proud to be Luiseno."

' I $M From WORKERS, page 1 . One group of students carpooled to a grassy hill on the corner of Manchester and Rancho Santa Fe in Encinitas. The other group of students arrived at the Home Depot on the corner of Luecadia and El Camino Real. At both sites, migrant workers are known to stand on the sidewalk and wait for strangers to hire them for work. Before the students left to meet the workers, A nne Skidmore of Intervarsity said, " They'll tell you about people who will hire them for work and t hey'll paint their house all day long and then t hey'll say, they don't pay us and will drop u s o ff." Skidmore encouraged the students to be open with the workers. " They're not u sedtd being treated well by the community. These guys have amazing stories. Most of them are open to share and t alk." . When the students l eft Commons, ASI's Director of Community Service Sherry Brideau loaded her white Honda with plastic bags f ull of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, bananas, apple juice, orange j uice, nature valley bars and water. Brideau arrived at the Home Depot site with about 20 students to meet Intervarsity's Ramiro Marchena and the workers. But once the students parked and gathered, a security guard approached them. The security guard told Brideau that she would have to park her car across the street, in the Encinitas Ranch Town Center because her car contained the food for the workers. Once Brideau parked across the street, students met her t o carry the plastic bags f ull of food and the gallons of orange juice. In the time it took for students t o walk across the street, a Sheriff arrived at the Home Depot. The Sheriff had arrested one of the workers. If any of the men are to step beyond the unmarked line that separates the sidewalk f rom the parking lot, they could be immediately arrested. Marchena suggested that the students tell the Sheriff what they were h ere t o do. Once the Sheriff knew, students walked u p to the migrant workers, let them know that they were students f rom CSUSM and asked if they wanted anything to eat or d rink. One student said to a worker whom he had j ust given a sandwich to, "Poco Espanol." The man replied, "Poco English." At this, each young man shrugged and smiled. The Spanish speakers of the group were able t o hold longer conversations with the men, which o ften resulted in both parties bursting into friendly laughter. Freshman Katelyn Aceves said, "I thought it was really rewarding to come catch them o ff guard and they let u s in and told u s about their stories." Freshman Jenna Spada said, "I liked it because I can speak a little Spanish and I could understand a little of what they were saying. They were really f un and easy t o talk to." One of the men told Spada that when a local bank across the street had been robbed, the police immediately questioned the men. Spada said that the man she was speaking to said, "They might have thought it looked like me but I would have never done something like that." Students also gave flyers to the workers that Intervarsity provided with information on a tutoring center in San Marcos where their children could be tutored. The flyer also included information of a church in Solana Beach that holds Spanish masses. Most of the workers the students interacted with were f rom Oaxaca. Junior Leo Carillo said, "They were saying that i t's tough to get a j ob— sometimes you get work, sometimes you don't. They come here for food; they're very impoverished. They cross the border in harsh conditions. They make a living and leave their families behind. So many people blame migrants for coming here j ust for the benefits. But how can they [get] benefits like health care, if citizens can't even get i t?" Carillo added, " In reality they are people who want t o help." I n j ust 40 minutes, a fter most students had enough time t o talk with the men, the border patrol showed u p for the man who had been arrested. Some of the men, however, sprinted into the street in spite of the opposing t raffic t o avoid the border patrol. Sophomore Herminia Ramirez said, "One particular thing that stood out t o me is that as the men saw the other guy being arrested and they were telling me that it made them angry because the action of one guy reflects on the others." Ramirez added, "I asked them if they were treated well, and they said for the most p art it is very p eaceful except when the minute men are there. The minute men t ry t o pull them over a certain line so that they will get arrested. They also told me that there was one time where three gangsters came and stole their valuables, and the security guard did nothing." The event itself inspired ASI and Intervarsity t o recruit more students t o serve these men more o ften. Marchena said, "There's a Catholic organization t hatreaches out t o migrant workers and the homeless. We need t o see how we can fit in with t hem— how we can do this more consistently, at least once a month. You kinda get Top: C SUSM student Thomas Colby pours orange juice for an appreciative migrant worker from Oaxaca. Above: Students witness the location where migrant workers live in North County.

A nd then it impacts us." Briedeau said, "Community service in general is very important because it enhances you as a person, and your college experience. You are putting yourself aside and serving others, which we tend to forget in today's society." R amirez a dded, " I loved participating in t his event b ecause their stories are a mazing.

They begin with looking at the overall goals ofthe paper, and not so much on sentence structure and spelling errors. The website states, "Our goal is to help you become a better writer, and we try to focus our sessions on tools or strategies that will help you on future papers." Usually they address the larger issues in a paper, such as the thesis and whether or not the student has met the requirements of the teacher's prompt. Although, from time to time, they mention things like, are you sure this is a complete sentence?" Goldin said. "Rather than making the correction for the student, students still do the work, but receive help through feedback." Consultants are ready and waiting for a positive response to the new program. Goldin shares, "We expect the pace to pick up once people get used to the idea." Goldin and others in the writing center spent the last six months researching what other online tutoring services are like, in order to develop the best program suited for CSUSM California Lottery grants provide the grant funding that makes this program available. From TUKWUT, page 1 come in Luiseno. President Haynes, in addition to supporting the renaming of Tukwut Courtyard, has also formed the Native Advisory Council, one of only two throughout the Cal State University system. President Haynes said, "Today, thanks to our student leadership, and continued help and assistance from our neighbor elders, we are ready to commit this naming gift to a permanent name for a special part of our student life, our newly named Tukwut Courtyard." President Haynes also spoke of plans to raise funds to build a memorial statue in the courtyard. "The memorial will demonstrate the proud impact and influence the Luiseno people have had on this From CHIEF, page 1 servants. We really are." Chief Hackenberg said, "In the 30 years that I've been in this profession, things have really changed. Officers find they must serve the communities they are in. In no place is that more important than a university campus. We truly are a community." Chief Hackenberg came to CSUSM from San Jose State University where he was the Special Operations Lieutenant. For 25 years, Chief Hackenberg worked for the Pennsylvania State Police Department. In all its history, he was the youngest person to be promoted University," Haynes said. Roy Lee, president of Associated Students Inc., wore a shirt that said "With the mind of a Tukwut and heartofaCougar."When addressing the audience he said, "It is a beautiful day, not just the weather, but a beautiful day to be able to reclaim ourselves as not just a Cougar, but a Tukwut." He urged those listening to contemplate the meaning of being a Tukwut for themselves. The naming of the courtyard marks the first permanent presence of Tukwut at CSUSM. Lee said, "Tukwut is here, and it is not going away." About the ceremony, Biggs said, "It was a wonderful day for Luiseno people and for the university— one I will hold in my heart forever."

When three young Americans (Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Lauren Poole) equipped with a camera, sought out for excitement in Africa— the only excitement they found were the sounds of children being captured during the night, and forced into the life of a child soldier. According to Jason, Bobby and Lauren, this nightmare was not their initial idea of a filmmaking adventure, but the three friends found themselves "stranded in Northern Uganda" and dedicated their time in there to "exposing this tragic and amazingly untold story." Whilst the majority of 8 year-olds in the United States are gluing macaroni to a piece of construction paper and sprinkling glitter across the page, children as young as 8 in Uganda are systematically being kidnapped from their homes by a rebel group called the "Lord's Resistance Army"(LRA). A gun or rifle replaces what should be a book or a pen, and according to the website, the children are "then desensitized to the horror of brutal violence and killing, as they themselves are turned into vicious fighters." A few number of children are able to escape, however, the majority of the children [m/lÚblt remain in LRA for the remainder of their lives, only experiencing life through fighting in guerilla warfare. The film "Invisible Children: Rough Cut," follows what the community has named "night commuters" as children "commute" during the night, from their villages to different towns in fear of being kidnapped. The film concentrates on 4 boys: Jacob, Thomas, Tony, and Boni, according the website, "through their eyes, we relive the terror of abduction, courage of survival, the heartbreak of losing a brother, and the innate joy— found only in a child." Because of their time in Uganda, the filmmakers decided to share this film and "inspire others, as it did them"; thus began the movement that is called Invisible Children. Due to the LRA, 250,000 boys and girls receive no education in Northern Uganda; only 30% of the schools are still functioning, but are overcrowded. Invisible Children offers a program called "The Education Program," where "Visible Child Scholarship provides fullride scholarships and full-time Ugandan mentors for war-affected children." In the ICEP (Invisible Children Education Program), each child is provided with a mentor who aids the child not solely for academic reasons, but to provide "careeroriented guidance, encourage success, and foster leadership success." There are currently 436 ICEP scholarship beneficiaries and 15 mentors. The "Schools for Schools" is a program that is much more like a competition, for schools across the United States to raise money to help build schools in Northern Uganda. Schools are urged to come up with different fund-raising ideas and compete with other schools for the grand prize - a trip to Uganda to help build a school with the money that was raised. According to the website, "the entire area of Northern Uganda has been ravaged by this 20-year-long war. Roughly 95% of the people in Northern Ugandan districts forced to evacuate their homes are now living in camps, earning no monetary income, and living in absolute poverty." Invisible Children also started the "Bracelet Campaign," which allows Famous scientist Carl Sagan once said, "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." Cal State San Marcos requires students to know at least a little about technology. It is called the computer competency requirement, and all baccalaureate students, irrespective of major, must fulfill this requirement before their third semester here at San Marcos or their records will be placed on hold, and they will be unable to register. The computer competency requirement, or CCR, can now be fulfilled in a couple of ways: either by taking a class that satisfies the requirement, or by taking the test. However, beginning in Fall 2008, classes will no longer be an acceptable means of satisfying the requirement. Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator, said, "This was a policy change approved by the Faculty Senate on the recommendation of the General Education Committee's Computer Competency Requirement subcommittee." The CCR website goes into more detail about the test, which classes satisfy the requirement, and provides study material and the exam schedule. It can be found here: www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr. The CCR test is divided into four different sections: computer ethics, the Internet, basic word processing proficiency, and basic spreadsheet concepts proficiency. The computer ethics section tests individuals' understanding of software copyright, Northern Ugandans living in camps a way to earn money. The bracelets are hand-made from reed and recycled wire, and sold in the United States; the money that is raised from the campaign goes back into the Invisible Children Education Program. These programs function in a self-supporting manner and support themselves because of the numerous movements that have been set up to support each other and raise awareness to help the people of Northern Uganda in their struggle to survive.

The Internet section tests students on using the Internet to obtain information. The word processing proficiency section discovers if students can use basic features within Microsoft Word. The spreadsheet section tests students on using basic features in Microsoft Excel. Students may take the CCR test as many times as it takes to pass it. Atkins said, "There is no penalty for taking the exam multiple times." The exam itself can take anywhere from 2-3 hours. Students may take the exam on Mondays and Wednesdays 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in University Hall room 273, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 or 10:30 a.m. until 2:00 or 2:30 p.m. (respectively) in Academic Hall room 202. Students need to bring a picture ID, a print/copy card with approximately $2 on it and something to write with. Print/copy cards are available to purchase in Kellogg Library. There is no time limit on the test, and there is no need for students to complete all four sections at the same time. Students must score 75% or better to pass the test. The sections are graded separately, that way if a student fails one section, he or she needs only to retake that section, instead of the entire test. No appointment is needed. Scores are posted on SMART Web within each student's profile.

With a record tying 25 trades at the deadline involving 44 players and 26 draft picks being exchanged between 27 of the 30 NHL teams. The trade deadline also makes the playoff picture become clearer. With six teams in the Eastern Conference pretty much guaranteed in the playoffs come April, four of them were active at the deadline. The Eastern Conference leader, Buffalo Sabres traded backup goalie Martin Biron to the Philadelphia Flyers, putting the weight on 2nd year goalie Ryan Miller to carry the remaining load and team through the playoffs. The Sabres also acquired Danius Zubrus from the Washington Capitals in a move that gives the team depth to a long list of injured forwards. The Southeast Division leader, Tampa Bay Lightning made several silent moves acquiring Shane O'Brien, Jason Ward and Karl Stewart. These additions give Tampa Bay depth in their defense and much needed toughness. The Pittsburgh Penguins added veteran Gary Roberts from Florida, which will give this young team a talented veteran forward who will be able impact the team's top two lines. The Penguins also acquired tough guy Georges Laroque from the Phoenix Coyotes. Laroque adds lots of toughness to the team that needs to protect their young sensations in Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Stall. The Atlanta Thrashers made a bold move acquiring veteran forward Keith Tkachuk in hopes to rejuvenate a struggling offense. Tkachuk will give the Thrashers another talented player who will join a team that already has a list of great players. With only two spots remaining out of the eight-playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, these four teams made adjustments in hopes of giving their team the advantage over the other. The New York Islanders brought a shock to the hockey world as they received Edmonton Oilers fan favorite, Ryan Smyth. Smyth gave the Oiler fans a tearful goodbye, which brought flashbacks to 1988 in Edmonton, when the Oilers traded the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, to LA. This move gives the Islanders the upper hand over the other three teams. The defending Stanley Cup Champions, Carolina Hurricanes added Anson Carter in hopes of Carter regaining the 33-goal touch that he had the previous season in Vancouver. The Toronto Maple Leafs added center Yanic Perreault to the team who will provide a gritty, strong face-off man. The last team in the race would be the Montreal Canadians who appeared to pull themselves out of the race as they traded veteran defensemen Josh Gorges for a d raft pick and a prospective player who cojild help the team later down the road when he makes the pros. In the Western Conference, the Nashville Predators acquired Flyers captain Peter Forsberg. Forsberg was looked at as the biggest name on the market at the deadline, and it cost the Predators two young talented prospects and a first and third round pick. Forsberg finishes the miss- ing pieces needed in the Nashville lineup, as they were looking for a talented forward who could make an impact on their team, and Forsberg should do that as long as he stays healthy. Not far behind the Predators in the standings is the Detroit Red Wings who acquired Todd Bertuzzi from the Florida Panthers. Bertuzzi is currently hurt but should be joining the Red Wings prior to the playoffs. Bertuzzi could give the Red Wings that extra edge in a playoff series with his scoring and playmaking ability. The San Jose Sharks added veteran forward Bill Guerin from the St. Louis Blues. Guerin gives the Sharks another scorer who should fit right in with last years MVP Joe Thornton. The Blues gained three prospects, two first round picks, and one second and third round pick by trading both Tkachuk and Guerin. And if both these players return to St. Louis at the end of the season, St. Louis will be looking at this deadline as a great way to rebuilding a team that once made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs 25 times in a row. The Dallas Stars were able to add long time Kings captain Mattis Norstrom. Norstrom give the Stars a talented veteran blue liner who has great leadership. Also added prior to the deadline was forward Ladislav Nagy. Nagy could be a great pick for the Stars if Nagy can regain the scoring capability he had in past seasons. The biggest shock of them all was how the Pacific Division leader, Anaheim Ducks failed to acquire a steady defense and a big named forward for the Cory Perry and Ryan Getzlaf line. The Ducks failure to acquire a big name player allows the other Western Conference teams to strengthen themselves and better prepare themselves for when they face the Ducks in the playoffs. For the teams that knew they were going to the playoffs, they choose to buy while those who were already out decided to sell their players for their futures. There can only be one Stanley Cup Champion, which means 29 losers who will be rebuilding for next year. One thing is for sure; it is anyone's game. m ake i nformed, h ealthy c onfident c hoices Itium 277 S.

Luckily enough my destination, The Oliver St. John Gogarty hostel, was situated in the Temple Bar - one of the most celebrated (or detested) and pub congested areas of Dublin. Temple Bar is truly a sight to wander into. It is an area of narrow, cobblestone streets, packed with people virtually twenty four hours a day, albeit mostly of the tourist variety. It is not just a festival of pubs, there are eating establishments aplenty, and it is f ull of art galleries, theatres and children's entertainment. It is easy to find, lying between the Bank of Ireland and Decades ago, James Joyce Christ Church Cathedral, and wrote that "A good puzzle, would it has a very energetic, friendly be to cross Dublin without pass- atmosphere.

Starting out from Temple Bar, the heavily trafficked Ha'Penny Bridge takes you across the river Liffey to the bustling shopping areas streets of the north, and O'Connell Street, Dublin's main thoroughfare. O'Connell St. is a busy street lined with department stores, magnificent statues and, if you are feeling too lazy to walk, you can grab a local bus or sightseeing tour. However, my suggestion is that you walk, walk, and walk! Dublin is a very compact city and you can reach many attractions by foot. One place that is worth a visit, on, is Trinity College. The illuminated manuscript "Book of Kells" is housed here, and is truly breathtaking, as is the extensive library. Ireland is famous for its contributions to literature: indeed both the Dublin writers and James Joyce Museums are superb. How- i ever, as a big Oscar 1 Wilde fan, I was keen A to see the Wilde house. The house itself is part of the American College of Dublin campus and it is an interesting, if small, exhibit.

It was a big exhibition with an even bigger merchandise section, yet the highlight was definitely having a complimentary pint in the pub at the top of the factory. The pub has a panoramic view of the city and serves only two drinks'normaP Guinness (room temperature) and cold Guinness. It would have been easy to spend a lot of time at the storehouse, but I still had a lot I wanted to see: Dublin Castle, Dublinia the Viking exhibition and the infamous Kilmainham Gaol. These are all excellent places to visit in that you can learn a great deal about Irish culture, both ancient and more contemporary. Dublin is a great place to visit and, due to it being compact, even a short visit will not disappoint. Do. not wait to visit this part of Ireland, it is changing a lot.

Here is the situation first. Vladimir Radmanovic of the Los Angeles Lakers is making 5.2 million dollars this season. He loves to snowboard, which can be a dangerous sport. So the Lakers put it into his contract that he isn't allowed to snowboard while under contract with the team. Turns out, the Lakers were right about Radmanovic because he separated his shoulder while snowboarding during the all-star break. He initially lied about it, because he knew he would face punishment if the team found out. Shortly after living the lie he made like George Washington and told the Lakers what happened. They quickly answered back with a 500,000 dollar fine because he violated his contract and will miss two months. My question, is it right for the Lakers to say he can't do a certain thing that he's passionate about? I mean, in what other industry do you see it written into a contract that you aren't allowed to do certain types of extra curricular activities? Radmanovic could've just as easily separated his shoulder taking the trash to the bottom of the driveway. I know the team is just trying to cover its butt from having to pay an injured player who (August 22 - September c a œ isn't contributing to a team, but what's 500,000 thousand to a multi-million dollar franchise. It may seem a lot to you and me, but Lakers owner Jerry Buss cleans his hands with 100 dollar bills. It gets to the point where athletes are no longer looked at as regular human beings because they make millions of dollars. I for one know that when I'm a millionaire one day I'm still probably going to be the same goofball that I am now and will partake in the same activities that I do now. What if someone told you that you couldn't do one of your favorite activities anymore? I can just imagine someone telling me one day that I shouldn't play basketball anymore because I may sprain a wrist and wouldn't be able to type. The way that I look at it is that you make your own decisions and you should live with them. You may think Radmanovic is stupid for snowboarding when he was specifically told not to, but I think he's bad and not bad as in bad, but bad as in good. He is living his life, doing the things that he wants to do. Here's another question for you? Would you have lied like Radmanovic originally did or would you have come clean right away like he eventually did? I don't know what I would do. It's-hard to say unless you're in the actual situation, but I have a feeling I probably would have done what he did. I know most people think the exact opposite of what I've said so far, but I commend Radmanovic. His soul can't be completely bought just because he can shoot a basketball.

Though there are dozens of custom made rolls available only at Matsuo's, there are a select few of my favorite rolls that j ust melt in your mouth. The first roll I started with is my all-time favorite, the MC roll. The MC roll is comprised of a California roll baked with a special sauce and cream cheese on top. Nothing else dissolves so b eautifully upon the first bite as the MC roll. Next up was the Monkey Stick roll. The Monkey Stick is made up of spicy t una, crab, cucumber, avocado, carrots, cooked tempura style with a spicy sauce drizzled over it, and* garnished atop a small salad.

Beer of the Week Karl Strauss Amber Lager BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "Evil Blue Thing," my friend said as I resumed my seat next to her at the bar. "Yeah, but what's it called," I responded, pointing to the brilliant blue libation in her hand. She j ust giggled, and I realized that The Evil Blue Thing was already working its malevolent magic. The beverage seemed to glow with impish potential. Sinfully sweet, but not saccharinely so, the Evil Blue Thing goes down smooth, feels warm and creamy on the tongue, and leaves a pleasant aftertaste in one's mouth. Like many mixed drinks, the pure enjoyment of drinking distracts from the fact that one is consuming generous amounts of alcohol, so the Evil Blue Thing can easily live up to its name if the drinker is innocent and allows him or herself to get tricked by the Thing's wicked charms. That said, the Evil Blue Thing can be a pleasurable companion if one is savvy and enjoys sweet (shocking blue) cocktails. To make your very own Evil Blue Thing, combine 1 1/2 ounce creme de cacao, 1 ounce Blue Curacao liqueur, and 1/2 ounce white rum in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir, serve, and enjoy! BY KENNY KING Pride Staff Writer Not far from our campus is one of San Diego's gems, a Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant. Karl Strauss Brewing Company has grown to become the largest distributing microbrewery company based in Southern California. The company's first Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant, in Downtown San Diego, opened to the public on February 2,1989. In 1999, the company installed new brewery equipment, which more than tripled the brewing capacity at their downtown location. In addition, the company opened a new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad. Karl Strauss brews eight types of beer year-round. The Amber Lager was their featured beer while my friends and I were at the brewery. A few weeks ago a good friend of mine was turning 23, and my # friends and I were contemplating where to celebrate such an occasion. We sat around throwing out ideas. Then, I looked down at the beer in my hand and read "Karl Strauss." I knew at that moment where we would be feasting that evening. Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurants are a perfect combination for a f un night out. Not only were we served delicious food, but we also had a variety of delicious beers that were brewed in the restaurant. By the end of the evening my memory was not functioning at f ull capacity, but there was one beer that stuck in my memory; it was the Amber Lager. This beer is copper in color with a slight sweetness that Cascade hops provide. It is a lager, so it is fermented at cold temperatures, which provides for a very smooth finish. The amber lager complements almost any food. We enjoyed an array of their appetizers, which were all delicious with the Amber Lager. The Amber Lager is Master Brewer Karl Strauss's favorite beer and is available yearround on draught, sixpack or case. You can find it almost everywhere locally in San Diego. Most restaurants and bars will have it on tap. Also, most grocery stores and Beverages and More carry it. But I recommend head- ing up to the brewery. If you are with your friends or on a date, it is good spot to have a good time and enjoy great beer.

"I was really interested in this movie initially because "of Sandra Bullock, and then I was interested in the movie because I read the script, and then I was interested in it because I had seen the director's first film, and I just thought it was wonderful." Jim Hanson is the loving husband of Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock). Together they have two darling daughters and live in a beautiful home. One day Linda receives news that Jim has died in a car crash. Yet, when she wakes up the next morning, Jim is alive and well. She dismisses what seemed like the previous day's events as a .nightmare. The next day, however, Linda awakens to find herself a widow. Somehow the natural progression of things has gone awry, and Linda is experiencing the days of one fateful week out of order. Commenting on the fragmented nature of the story, McMahon explained the filming process, "For me, because I come in and out of it consistently, I had to kind of monitor - say the movie goes over a week, I play Thursday before the movie's even got to it, and then later on, I'd come to the Tuesday after that. It was a little tricky, but the thing was it did span over a week so you could kind of contain it a little bit. It definitely posed its own challenges." McMahon clarified that his role in "Premonition" is indeed a departure f rom the roles he normally plays. "This is a very normal guy. He's a very Middle American family, Middle American values - j u s t a guy who loves his girlfriend, got married, had kids, had a family." McMahon, known for more larger-than-life roles - demon Cole Turner in the supernatural TV series "Charmed," Victor Von Doom in "Fantastic Four" (2005), and Dr. Christian Troy in the FX series "Nip/ Tuck" - revealed, ."I'm always attracted to something t hat's a little skewed," said I m a g e courtcsy of Sony pictures McMahon, "a little o ff, sometimes, you Julian McMahon and Sandra Bullock in "Premonition". know, extremely off.

Movie Review: BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer Picture "Gladiator" meets "The Matrix" set in the dreamlike cinematography of "Sin City." A fresh attempt to stretch the barriers of visual cinema, "300" is a fist flying, sword wielding, historical adventure. Miller, who wrote the novel that became the film, is best known for 2005's "Sin City." "300" is based on the story of the Spartans of Greece, a fierce group of elite warriors, standing up to the self proclaimed GodKing Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) of Persia in 480 B.C. Zach Snyder, of "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) fame, directs "300" with a Bottom: A panel from Frank Miller's graphic novel "300". Top: The corresponding scene a s it appears in Warner Bros. Pictures', Legendary Pictures' and Virtual Studios' action drama "300," distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The acting in this movie is well done. Gerard Butler does a stellar job as the courageous King Leonidas. He dominates the screen with a booming voice and wicked fighting style. His wife, Queen Gorgo (Lena Heady), is an equal partner to her sure hand, telling a rock solid tale of honor king. She is loyal to the cause of her people and valor in a time of desperation.

The Persians hide behind bizarre masks while the Spartans are in the traditional crimson and armor of their culture. This film is a new fresh way to tell a tale. The power and intensity ooze from the screen and the suspense is breathtaking. The film "300" is a comic book look at an actual historical event. The current Hollywood fad of taking a slice of history and creatively manipulating the plot for entertainment value is exemplary in this case. "300" fails to fall short in any category. It's a guarantee that fellow movie goers will clap and cheer for the heroic Spartans. The beauty of this movie is that you are left wishing for more. "Is it really over already?"

Amanda Bergara PRIDE STAFF WRITER The rain stopped and the sun peeked through the clouds for CSUSM's 1st Annual Black History Month Breakfast. The catered event, which included poetry, song, and inspirational speeches, was sponsored by Associated Students Inc., outside at Forum Plaza at 8:00am, Feb. 28,2000. CSUSM student Roger Frazier started off the event by singing the Black National Anthem, a song about liberty and learning from the past. Then ASI President Waleed Delawari and CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez welcomed students, faculty, staff and administrators in attendance. Gonzalez stated that CSUSM is a "campus of firsts" and hopefully the event would be a continual program.

Izabel's father. The officers were looking for a suspect who had no relation to Mr. Solis. The officers coerced Solis into letting them enter the house. After the officers entered the house, they proceeded to interrogate Solis and four of his young children, asking, "Are you hiding someone under the bed?" and "Is this man your father, or are you lying?" The children are 11, 6, 5, and 2 years of age. After confirming Solis's identity, the officers took Solis into custody to deport him on the grounds of Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRAIRA). Mr. Solis has a prior conviction and served 181 days in jail and 90 days probation for attempted arson—Solis had thrown a bottle of perfume (combustable material) on to the roof of a neighbors home, and had called the fire department himself. Solis was allowed to remain in the US after serving his sentence.The 1996 law, however, requires the deportation of immigrants with criminal convictions, even those who have already served their sentence and were allowed at the time of their release law, at least 13 federal district courts have ruled that INS! has greater flexibility in implementing the law's mandatory detention requirements than we had thought. As a result, INS will conduct a case-by-case review and exercise discretion on those individuals who completed their criminal sentences prior to Oct. 9, 1998, do not pose a danger to the community, and demonstrate a strong likelihood to appear for their hearing." According to Izabel Solis, it has been extremely difficult to acquire any information about her father, either from the INS, or from Mr. Solis's Immigration attorney, Thomas A. Mix. On February 4th, immigration officer Robles claimed Solis's bail would be $7,500, and later when a friend, Dan Leonard, tried to pay the bail, he was informed that there was no information about Mr. Solis. Dan was not able to find information until February 7th when an INS judge informed him and the Solis family that Mr. Solis could not be allowed bail. Even the attorney hired by the Solis family proved ineffective at answering questions. When Izabel's sister, Patricia, requested Mix to explain her father's case, he told her that she would not be able to understand. Since Mr. Solis is a residential alien, not a citizen of the US, he was not entitled to the same rights that protect US citizens. Upon his arrest, he was not entitled to an attorney and had to find and pay for an attorney on his own in order not to be deported without a trial. In addition to this, Mr. Solis claims that he and other INS detainees are under immense pressure to choose to be deported rather than go through the lengthy and expensive trial process. According to Ricardo Favela, vice president of MEChA at CSUSM, this problem facing the Solis family is not an isolated case. "It is only US policy towards Mexican and Latin American people. . This type of Gestapo tactic is policy towards Mexican and other Latin American people here in the U.S. It is a fact that Mexican and other indigenous-looking Latin American people are the only people in this nation who have a special police force specifically working to watch over us." their knowledge and prepared- and complete college.

Sonia Gutierrez & Trevor Knudsen PRIDE STAFF WRITERS Izabel Splis withdrew from her classes at CSUSM in order to support her family in a time of need. She is currently working three parttime jobs to pay for the family's rent, utilities, and legal costs, because her father has been incarcerated since February 3. Felipe Solis Villaruel is at Camp Barrett, a county jail where Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) houses non-citizens awaiting deportation hearings. Izabel was beginning her junior year at California State University San Marcos pursuing a BS in sociology with plans to continue college for her MA in forensic psychology. She had hoped to become a profiler for the police department after she completes her studies. Now Izabel, the eldest Solis child at 20 years, works at San Marcos Middle School in the Gear-Up program, and as a tutor at two North-County high schools, to provide for the family of eight. On February 3rd, five INS officers arrested Felipe Solis Villaruel, to stay in the country. According to information on the web site for the Law Offices of Manulkin, Glaser & Bennett, Immigration Attorneys: "Immigrants convicted of a crime defined by immigration law (not by criminal law) as an 'aggravated felony' are deportable. Under IIRAIRA, crimes as minor as shoplifting now constitute aggravated felonies. Furthermore, the new expanded definition is retroactive. Thus, legal immigrants today may be placed into deportation proceedings for minor offenses they committed 25 years ago. This is true even if the offense was not defined at the time as an aggravated felony (and therefore may not have been a deportable offense), and the immigrant at that time was punished in the criminal law system." INS has apparently made an amendment to the ruling in a press release dated July 12, 1999, allowing some of those who have served their sentence by October 9, 1998 to be eligible for release.

Dear Fellow CSUSM Students: I am writing in response to ASI Executive Vice President, Robert Radovich's letter where he called my ideas "ignorant". My opinion was correct and I will show you why. ASI is now saying that the Christmas bonuses that ASI approved with our money last semester is okay because no students received the bonuses, just staff members. This makes it okright? NO! It was still our elected ASI members who voted in favor of the bonuses. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, ASI voted for the bonuses behind closed doors with no student access permitted. J wonder why? What did ASI fear? After having to request them two different times and waiting over three months, I finally obtained a copy of the November 12, 1999 ASI Board of Director meeting minutes. The minutes show that the board went into closed session to vote on this issue. What is this! They lock out their fellow students, discuss an important issue and then open the doors and say, we vote yes on what we talked about while you couldn't come in? This is wrong and by NO definition FOR THE STUDENTS. In addition, I feel that Robert Radovich may not be the best ASI member to address this issue because according to the minutes, Radovich failed to attend this important meeting. The students needed Radovich's moneysaving "NO" vote but, he let us down. In 1998, ASI asked the students to raise their fees so that they could better promote campus life activities. I reluctantly voted yes on the raise as I thought it would help better CSUSM. I did not vote to raise my tuition so ASI could give our money away to certain staff members for Christmas bonuses. Heck! We all work very hard all year long and we don't expect Christmas bonuses. I say to Robert Susan S.

Some examples of "hidden disabilities" would be asthma, heart problems, back problems, and others. One thing that could be done to help alleviate the problem would be to place "wheelchair preferred" signs on the spaces that have wheelchair access. Another option that should be thought about is having the University Police randomly verify disabled permits. This would effectively stop any problems of abuse. We share in Professor Von Son's hopes that this problem will be alleviated quickly. Sincerely, Rita Reynolds President The Victorious Club Stacey Helton Treasurer The Victorious Club �C I) e $ t i b t Tuesday, March 0 7,2000 5 OPINION MEChA Statement on Prop. 21 Proposition 21 is an initiative known as the "anti-gang violence" initiative which w ill be on the ballot on March 7. Many organizations throughout California, including churches, stand against this inhumane proposition due to its cruel nature. It will allow for 14 year old children to be tried as adults for certain crimes and w ill mix children as young as 14 years old into the adult penal system. These children will be Mexican, African, or any other brown youth that the police illegally label as "gang members". We know that white children will not be targeted as much by this law. If it goes into effect, Proposition 21 w ill strip many black and brown youth of their constitutional rights, including their right to privacy. The initiative will allow for wire-tapping of "gang members" phones. This initiative is another great idea from Pete Wilson. The following w ill put the Proposition into its historical context and what this law represents to the Chicano/Mexicano Movement. We must understand that Prop. 21 has nothing to do with crime and everything to do with social and population control. In the "Voter Information Guide" which contains the complete text of the initiative, the proposed law refers to the prospective increase in the population of people of color in California: "The problem o f youth and gang violence w ill, without active intervention, increase, because the juvenile population is projected to grow substantially by the next decade" (119). Legislation which incarcerates youth more easily and for longer periods of time are the State o f California's strategy in dealing with the increase of black and brown people. We must understand that the term "gang" and "gang member" are labels put on Mexican/Chicano youth as an attempt to divide our people, to criminalize and to dehumanize those of us who resist white North American culture. This label also allows the state to take away the constitutional rights of youth. The historical origin o f today's so called "gang members" are rooted in our culture of resistance to white supremacy. The first warriors who resisted U.S. colonialism such as Joaquin Murrieta and the "Pachucos" have always been outcast as bandits and gangsters by the media and the court system of California. Today, since we ate not taught our history, most of us are ignorant of these facts, and play the part of being "gang members" instead of being warriors for our people. We say we are warriors, not gangsters. We must understand that the legislation o f Proposition 21 is used to expand the Prison Indus- trial Complex. It goes hand in hand with Prop. 227, denying our youth the right to an adequate education, and Prop. 209, which limits the number of Chicano/Mexicano professionals who could defend la Raza, and Prop. 184 which makes it easier for the state of California to lock up as many Mexicans and Africans as possible. Prop. 21 is part of California's legacy of keeping brown and black people poor, uneducated, incarcerated and powerless. Just as Prop. 187 created hysteria about "illegal aliens", Prop. 21 will create more racism against Chicano/Mexicano youth and further divide our people. For example, the labeling of our brothers and sisters as "gang members" separates them from the rest of our gente and even the term itself connotes violence, drug-dealing, and criminal activity. Thus many of our own people will say that this is what these "gang members" deserve. This is an attempt by the state o f California to weaken or destroy the strong sense of carnalismo that is a part of our culture. Carnalismo is the idea that we are all brothers and sisters and we all have a responsibility to take care of each other. Thus Prop. 21 is also an attack on our culture. M.E.Ch.A. says Chale con Prop, 21, and an attack on one is an attack on all. Prop. 21 is also an attempt to blame the victim for his or her own problems. It should be well known by now that the C.I.A. and the U.S. Government are responsible for the majority of the drugs and guns in our communities. Finally, there is an important lesson to be learned from this proposition and other racist/genocidal legislative attacks that have been handed down to our people ever since we were conquered and colonized by the U.S. 152 years ago. Until we develop our organizations, there will always be Prop. 21's, Prop. 187's, Prop. 209's, and we will always be a powerless and exploited people; even i f we become the majority in our own land once again. We demand that 1. The full constitutional rights of youth to be protected and guaranteed. 2. The media and court system to stop labeling and documenting our youth as "gang members". 3. The C.I. A ./U.S. government to stop importing drugs and guns to our communities. 4. Full prosecutions of police who participate in conspiracy, drug dealing, murder, and promotion of barrio violence. We ask that Mexican/Chicano youth stop calling themselves "gang members", and to take on the responsibility of defending their gente. D ear E ditors: D ear E ditors: I was so pleased to read Mike Sanella's letter in the Feb. 21 issue of The Pride. It is great that students are speaking out about their experiences with student government here at CSUSM. The ICC meeting on Feb. 11 was indeed a very frustrating experience. The rules guiding the ICC budget ARE EXTREMELY vague and unclear. It is a pity that our student government maintains such a bureaucratic mess. At our last BOD (ASI) meeting, we discussed the possibilities o f trying to simplify/clarify the mess. I sincerely hope that there will be action behind those words. Student clubs should not have to waste time and energy trying to fight the system. I, too, was very shocked that HUNDREDS o f dollars could be spent on flyers that will be trashed, while not a single penny could be spent on T-shirts (for Student Parent Alliance club events) that were to be used over and over. A s for the experiences I've had with our student government, I'd have to say that I probably share a lot in the same feelings of frustration as Mike. That is what motivated me to speak out and write this letter. Our ASI is a bureacracy...a BUSINESS, as it is often said, and it seems that most decisions and policies are made with business sense in mind...not student needs. Students can't always come first in a business and that is what causes our ASI to be so lacking. I know that there are only a couple months left in this semester, but I really feel that changes can be made. I got into ASI and on to the BOD as the Post-Bacc. Representative. I have been in office for about a month now. The reason I got into ASI was because I was not happy with how our government was serving us. The office was vacant and so I put in my application. There is room on the board for others who want to try to change how things are done. A s o f our last BOD meeting, there were at least 2 positions open. Please come and get an application from the ASI office and start changing things for the better. If being on the BOD is not your thing, then at least come to our meetings and tell us i f we are doing things right, wrong, or whatever. Our next meeting is Friday, March 10 and there will be items on the agenda that affect ICC (inter club council). ASI is YOUR government. Our budget is over 1,000,000 dollars!!! If you don't like something, come and tell us. Leave notes in our boxes at the ASI office. Email us. Write it up and send it to the Pride so your voice can be heard! Tell us how you want that million bucks spent.

The University Student Union facility is being developed for the benefit of students, faculty, stajff and alumni to promote and assist the educational program of the In fall 1999, the University Student Union Advisory Board is in the process of designing ^ O i l - - . Phase One of the Union facility in conjunction with the Clarke Field House. The Phase One facility will be small but will provide the first conference facilities on campus and will be located adjacent to the first exercise and athletic facilities on campus. Several subcommittees of the University Student Union Advisory Board are currently seeking additional student members. If you would like more information about the Finance, Facilities, Programming and Relations, or Personnel Committees, please contact the chair of the Personnel Committee, Kara Kornher, at 750-4905 or kkomher@maiihostl xsusm.edu. I am concerned about the shabby disrespect that the ASI and the ICC board have for the Brown Act. To date, they have violated it left and right. The ASI board, on November 12, 1999, violated it by going into closed session without 24 hour written notice prior to the session. Under the Brown Act, what they discussed is not even one of the items of an agenda that is permitted to be discussed in closed session. Both of these offenses are only misdemeanors, but do we want lawbreakers to govern us? What other laws are they breaking? I do not know what the rest o f my fellow students feel, but I do not want criminals representing me on the student government. We need to elect some new and honest blood to ASI. How many of you are aware that the ICC chair is only an appointed official? In my opinion, this needs to be raised to the level o f an elected official, rather than being a puppet o f ASI. If more students were actively interested in the actions o f the ASI, change would come about more quickly in the interests of the students, rather than the ASI. If you don't feel comfortable going to the meetings, write to the paper and let your voice be heard! Don't forget that those ASI elections for next year will be held in April. This is a concrete way to let your voice be heard. Thank you for your time and patience, Rita Reynolds FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: $20,000 CASH BONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

C olonialism Mexican and Latin American people's human rights are violated on a daily basis. 152 years and two days after the U.S. forced Mexico to sign away almost half of her land, her gold, her resources, and her people, the U.S. continues to violate Mexican people's human rights. On the night of February 4th, Felipe Solis respectfully allowed five Border Gestapo agents to enter his home. The agents were looking for a man by the name of "Rodriguez", an alleged "illegal" resident. Thinking all Mexicans look alike and that all Mexicans lie, the Border Pigs began to accuse CSUSM student Izabel Solis' father of being this man. These pigs even accused the children in the home of lying about their own father's identity. The Border Gestapo then kidnapped Izabel's father, and I say kidnapped because he was taken against his will, with no warrant for his arrest. Although he is a legal resident, he is considered "deportable" due to a past conviction. Thus, he and his family are now being punished for a crime for which-Felipe had already served time. Can anyone tell me if these incidents happen in a white neighborhood? By Joni Miller As many of you may know, February was Black History Month. Our campus, as well as many other organizations and institutions celebrated the contributions African-Americans have made to the world through art, music, and literature. One such event was scheduled to take place at the "101 Artists Colony" in Encinitas on Saturday, February 19. The event, a superb night of music, poetry and fellowship, and including wonderful local talent, among them CSU San Marcos Professor Sharon Elise, was abruptly cancelled the night before it was to take place. On Friday, February 18th, an article appeared in the "Preview" section of the North County Slime (oops) Times. It hailed the event as a celebration of Black History Month. The article also included interviews with local artists Jihmye Collins, Professor Elise, and Artist's Colony board member Robert Walker. The last paragraph of the article read: "This month celebrates Black History, and we are dedicating the event on Saturday to Mumia Abu-Jamal, the ex-Black Panther on death row for the 1982 slaying of a white Philadelphia police officer." (Mumia is a black man who many feel has been unjustly accused, tried, and sentenced to It was also reported a few weeks die for a crime he did not commit). ago in Fallbrook that a 17 year old MexAs soon as this news hit the street, three ican youth, labeled as a "gang member," Encinitas City Council members and the San was beaten in front of witnesses by a Diego County Sheriffs department contacted Fallbrook Sheriff (a supposed grown the Downtown Encinitas Main Street Associaman).

It should also be noted that between 1998-1999, in a period of 15 months, five males have been shot and killed by police and sheriffs throughout towns and cities in North County. Four of these males were Mexican and one was Natiye American. Yet these killings have been swept under the rug. The recent uncovering of the LAPD officers involved in drug-dealing, conspiracy, false incriminations, and frame-ups only serve to affirm African-American and Mexican people's mistrust of police in our communities. Instead of feeling protected by the law, these cases give evidence to the rumors in our communities about the role of police in keeping our people drugged-up, divided and living in fear of the law. It should be clear that these incidents are not isolated. Much like the murders, beatings and kidnappings, these criminal and terrorist acts being carried out by the state are only public policy towards Africans, Mexicans, Latinos, and Asians. The only purpose of the police is to maintain the inequality between the rich and the poor, and police will do all that is necessary (or what they are told to do) to make sure that we stay in our places as poor, exploited and powerless people. This is the reason why the police and the FBI militarily revised that directly influence Student Life and Academics. The CSUSM student body, not just the ASI should determine the need and validity of CSUSM policies before being submitted to President Gonzalez and his administrative staff for approval. In addition, the same open forum format regarding new university policies should be provided for all CSUSM Faculty and staff. The way CSUSM administrators are running this university needs to change. However, it is up to us, the students, to actively speak out to these CSUSM administrators who consistently attempt to create policies that are not beneficial to the academic success and personal growth of those who pay good money to attend California State University, San Marcos. It is very unfortunate to witness a large group of CSUSM students taking the time to debate with a street preacher. Yet, no one but myself can attend an ASI open student forum occurring at the same time to discuss concerns related to unfair university policies involving computer use, parking services, etc. It is no wonder the CSUSM administration is less concerned with current student life issues and more concerned with the physical development of campus buildings and the recruitment o f future students. Shame on you, CSUSM students, for not taking enough initiative to actively speak out more on issues that have a direct negative impact on our academic and personal experiences at this university. Sincerely, Eddie Goan attacked the Black Power and Chicano Power movements. These movements were aimed at eliminating the gap between the rich and the poor, which is a direct threat to the rich. Thus, it should be clear that the brutality, drug-dealing, kidnappings, frame-ups and promotion of gang-violence on the part of the police and I.N.S. is only policy towards Mexicans, Latinos, and African-Americans, and are not isolated incidents. On top of all this, racist laws and legislation legalize and institutionalize these inhumane policies. The case of Izabel's father is a result of stricter immigration laws, which only allows for the Border Gestapo to enter into people's homes and kidnap family members with no justified reason at all. Also, 3-Strikes and Prop. 21, which will be on your ballot this week, allow for the state to fill California's prisons with black and brown people. The state of California has reinstated slavery through the 13th amendment by allowing for the privatization of California's prisons. This literally means that private businesses and corporations can literally buy or build prisons, which will be used as a source of cheap labor and massive profits. This is California's response to the projected increase of people of color. Lock them up and throw away the key. is carried out in our public schools and universities and is the teaching of individualistic and capitalistic ethics and values. These principles teach us to cafe more about our individual selves and our bank accounts than our people, our neighbors, our brothers, and sisters here and across the world. They teach us how to fit in this corrupt and rotten society instead of teaching us how to transform it. Education should be more than job skills. A true education will teach people how to take control of their own lives and how to create their own destiny (Keep in mind, Manifest Destiny was once an idea in some white supremacist's head). Colonialism has stolen our people's dreams of creating a just and equal society and has told us to get-in where wefit-in.A true education will teach us how to have respect for our people and ourselves. A true education will instill a sense of dignity in our people so we know when to say, "enough is enough." A true education will allow us to figure out how to end poverty, how to end police brutality, and will teach us to respect each other as human beings. A true education will take away all of our fears of standing up for what is right, because if you are afraid of dying, then you are afraid of living. A true education will liberate us once and for all. Despite all that I have mentioned, there still remains the worst crime that Ricardo Favela probably affects us most and is carried MEChA Vice-President out on a daily basis as well. This crime Dear fellow CSUSM students: chapter, and where the member intends to deprive the public of information to which the member knows or has reason to know the public is entitled under this chapter, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

XV N0.8 T o beds are better than one w T University Village Apartments plan to double occupancy in single-rooms by Fall 2006 BY KATIE ROWE Pride Staff Writer University Village Apartments are expected to double the occupancy in single-bedroom dormitories, accommodating eight students in some of the apartments, beginning in the fall semester of 2006. University Village currently consists of three buildings that offer two kinds of apartmentstyle floor-plans available to students. Both floor-plan apartments were initially arranged to accommodate four students, giving students the choice between two double occupancy bedrooms with two baths, or four singlebedrooms with two baths. How- ever, this fall, all students will be sharing a roommate in the four bedroom floor-plans, increasing occupancy at UVA to accommodate an additional 100 students. According to Lt. Doug Miller, there are 497 students currently living on campus in the University Village Apartments. The additional student residency will increase to house nearly 600 tenants. The plan for University Village in fall 2006 is to expand the occupation in two of its three buildings, according to Bridget Blansha, the director of Student Life and Leadership. The four bedroom apartments in the two buildings will be converted to support six students each. Each Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride apartment will have two single rooms and two double rooms. The bedrooms that will be converted into shared rooms are just a little more than half the size of the bedroonTs shared in the two bedroom floor-plan apartments.

Campus hosts Japanese business students BY LORA PAINTER Pride Staff Writer AU opitlWhs and tetters to the ^ Jfa; ^^^lisfc^d Pride, represent the opinions of the author, Bnd tofcStejfc • views Sandra Punch, event coordinator for the Etiquette Dinner. The Etiquette Dinner first started because of requests made» by students. "It is very common for employers to invite prospective employees out for a meal during the recruiting process, just so they can see the applicant in a different environment, to see how they handle themselves," Punch said. "We found that in having this dinner, students can go through the entire dining experience from start to finish." Besides finally learning the use of "that extra fork," the dinner focuses on mannerisms and posture. This event has been organized for five years with excellent reviews by students, Nineteen international Japanese students from the American Language and Culture Institute are enjoying the campus life at California State University San Marcost through a month-long, all-expense-paid scholarship focused on refining English language skills and experiencing American culture. To celebrate the conclusion of their visit and receive participation certificates, the students will be performing a traditional Japanese dance in Commons 206 on Friday, March 10, from 2:00 to 2:30 p.m. The students attend Osaka Gaigo Yumiuri College of International Business in Japan, and their participation in this program, CSUSM's American Culture Experience, is an educational requirement for Japanese students while enrolled in their second year of college. The program "prepares international students for study in a U.S university or college," according to the ALCI website. Visiting CSUSM provides students with the resources to enhance their English skills. During their stay, students are able to take advantage of the many resources offered on campus, including the opportunity to use facilities, such as the Kellogg Library, the Clarke Field House and the University Village Apartments. In addition to these facilities, ALCI students work with helpful and friendly instructors, most of which hold advanced degrees and have extensive experience in English language education, to enhance language skills. While academic study and language proficiency is highly stressed, the students participating in the American Culture Experience also attend various activities outside the classroom. Recently, the students have been to Disneyland, Sea World and Dixon Lake Park. Their monthlong visit and study in San Marcos will conclude this Friday with a certificate ceremony and performance. Many students participating in the program agreed that the campus experience has been positive and educational. Several students commented that direct contact with native English speakers has improved their own language abilities and provided opportunities to gain new friendships. And naturally, many students spoke of the region's exceptional South- era California weather and about meeting friendly people. "This experience is my treasure!" said Aya Tomita. One of Tomita's favorite stops during her visit was the Carlsbad outlet. "There were many shops. I think I will never be tired of them, even if I walk around a whole day!" While most of their experiences during their visit have been positive, some students expressed some feelings of culture shock. Many agreed that American cuisine has been difficult for them to adjust to. Lack of personal transportation^ such as having a car, also posed some challenges. "I noticed that it's difficult to make myself understood," said Photo courtesy of ACLI Manabu Yamane. "I expected that I could speak more fluently." Their month-long visit and study at Cal State San Marcos has definitely been filled with learning experiences. The students expressed feelings of reaffirmed values, personal growth and formulation of future goals. Because of their time here, many have learned the value of good communication, friendship, and family. Some students have also decided that they want to study abroad in other countries as well. "The most important thing that I have learned so far is to be flexible, and try everything I'm interested in," said Aya Okada. "Time flies unbelievably fast." •ÄBrsPub •^MMÄf A+ S U B S P reschool s ubstitutes, a ids, a nd t eachers.

This workshop has been one of the most popular events each year, and this year is expected to be no different. The Sex Toys Workshop is free for students and the general public. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, March 7, and will be held in Commons 206 at 7 p.m. "Sex Toys was packed during the last year's workshop," explained Cheyenne Bany director of Women's Issues. "We couldn't get a bigger room this year, so come early." The workshop is not just any ordinary presentation, but an enticing sexual education lesson, complete with props. The night will begin with a lecture on sexual anatomy with Dr. G and Passion Party expert, Crystal Folk. "Students will learn more about themselves, and find alternative views for their bodies," said Barr. The second part of the night will be a Tupperware party, except there's no Tupperware, mentioned Barr. The audience will get to preview some sex toys and learn how to use them. Then, at the end of the night, there will be a free raffle to win a few of the toys and a chance to buy the items that were showcased. Following the workshop, the next Women's HER-story event will be the movie, "North County," detailing the major Sexual Harassment case: Jenson vs. Eveleth Mines. The event will be at 8 p.m. at the "The Clarke." Women's HER-Story Month has a variety of other events to offer students this year. Although there are many returning popular previous events, such as Sex Toys Workshop and a performance from Slam poet Bridget Gray, the month-long celebration will feature new events and have a different focus this year. "This year is focused on race and cultural issues," said Barr. "Over half of the events are of women from a different culture, different country, or different faith." However, this wasn't preplanned for the theme. This year, there has been an increase of support for Women's HER-Story Month from different departments and student organizations who wanted to bring their per- UVA,frompage 1 lived in University Village. However, Blansha assures, "If you look at the size of the personal space, it is still much larger than the average size, compared with other universities." While some students are concerned that doubling up will increase conflict arid other problems in University Village, campus officials aren't worried. "Statistically, 100 more people will have a minimal affect on safety in the dorms. Sixty-six percent of the students on campus are female, and females are statistically less violent," said Lt. Miller. According to Blansha, the task group working to increase the number of students has analyzed the effect that this increase may have. After lengthy discussions and talking to other universities that have implemented similar changes, the task group concluded that the change will spectives to the table. Arts and Lectures and ASI will also be presenting LUNAFEST 2006, an event showcasing a national film festival with short films by, for, and about women. LUNAFEST will be held on Thursday, March 9, in ARTS 240 at 2:30 p.m. On Friday, March 10, the new fundraiser for ASI Women's Center is the LUNAFEST Anniversary Fundraiser. This event is the five-year anniversary edition of LUNAFEST and is sponsored by the USUAB, Arts and Lectures, ASI, the Women's Studies Program, and the Student Life and Leadership Multicultural Program. "I hope that this will become an annual tradition as ihe fundraiser for the ASI Women's Center," said Barr. Before the films start, there will be an auction and a wine and cheese reception. This fundraiser is the only event that's not free to the public. The entrance donation for Cal State San Marcos students is $15. Other attendees are required to pay $25. Attendees must purchase in advance, at Commons 207. This event will be held in "The Clarke" Grand Salon at 6 p.m. On Tuesday, March 14, Giovanna Chesler will show her have an overall positive affect and that steps will be taken to avoid conflicts. As the number of students living on campus increases, the number of staff for the housing will also increase. There will be more Resident Assistants to help students avoid and resolve conflict and to help them adjust. The RAs will also be focused on getting students involved with campus life. The reason for doubling-up room occupancy is due to University President Karen Haynes' mission of making increased enrollment and student life a key priority for her administration. This past fall and spring, Cal State San Marcos exceeded its target enrollment and is anticipating a growth of more than six percent in Fall 2006. At this point, the only option to accommodate more students is to double-up occupancy until 2010, when more student-housing is scheduled to be available, according to Blansha. documentary: "Period: The End of Menstruation?" He will be addressing the issues of birth control which allow women and young girls to stop their periods for great lengths at a time. This presentation will be held in, ARTS 240 at 6 p.m. On Wednesday, March 15, there will be a lecture by Ibtesam A1 Atiyat on women, Islam, and politics in the Arab world. This event will be held in UNIV 370 at 11:30 a.m. On Thursday, March 16, there will be a performance from Linda Pershing's class, presenting their projects through dance, spoken word and artwork on their experiences of oppression in sexism and racism. This event will be held in ACD 304 at 11:30 a.m. On Monday, March 20, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Student Organization (LGBTSO) will be presenting "Inside Out-LGBTSO's Drag Show." This will be a celebration of breaking out of gender roles with professional and local ¡drag stars. This event will be held in "The Clarke," Grand Salon at 12 p.m. One of the most important events, according to Barr, will be "In Your Face," an awareness event that brings education about violence against women, hosted Diane Malone, associate director of Planning Design and Construction, explained that the state does not pay for student housing, so it must to be self-sufficient. The process to build more housing on campus is not an easy one, according to Blansha. The process begins by conducting market studies, which analyzes things such as the need for housing and what kind of housing would be best. The study also takes student opinion into account. This step of conducting a market study is currently taking place. After a plan is formed, it needs to go through a lengthy approval process through the Chairman's Office. Phase two of student housing won't necessarily be apartment complexes. On campus housing is one major way to get students involved with the campus, and Blansha agrees that the increase in residency at UVA is one of the approaches to increasing the campus's major goals to enhancing student involvement. on Tuesday, March 21. The day is divided into four features. At 10 a.m. in the Library Plaza, many organizations and programs will present global issues of violence against women. At 11:30 a.m. in ACD 102, a panel of representatives from different faiths will discuss women's contributions from different religions. At 4 p.m. in "The Clarke," Grand Salon, Katherine DeGrow will speak about women's place in Christianity. To close, "The Clarke," Grand Salon will feature the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha," at 8 p.m. Women's HER-Story Month will conclude its festivities on Thursday, March 23, with Dr. Lorraine Bayard de Volo lecture on how war and peace are implicated for women. This event will be held in the "The Clarke," Grand Salon at 11 a.m. "I really hope that we get more turnouts to give more awareness," said Barr. Although Women's HERStory Month is only celebrated in March, ASI Women's Center is hoping that the celebration will b e year-round, "It's been a year-round support for women's issues and gender related issues," said Barr. "I hope to make HER-Story Month into HER-Story Year." POLICE,frompage 1 beverages. It is only upon the sale of alcohol to the minor that police officers are able to make an arrest. "The program gives CSO's the chance to participate in something new, making the job more exciting," said Miller. In addition to providing more opportunity for CSO students, the program is another outlet through which campus police can work to alleviate problems with alcohol on and around campus. Last week, CSUSM police made two DUI arrests; both incidents involved the drivers exceeding the legal blood alcohol limit by nearly three times the amount. With St. Patrick's Day approaching, campus police strive to ensure student safety by educating the campus on the effects of alcohol, and eliminating sales to minors by local vendors.

With her fist in the air, Slam Poet Bridget Gray closed the night with a performance dedicated to her gender. This was Gray's fourth year performing at Cal State San Marcos, now before a full audience, half familiar with her work, half just getting ready to meet her. The night began with a small introduction, where Gray emphasized her last name, taken from her mother's second husband and kept not merely for her half mons presents Def Jam Poetry," but most black, half white heritage, but to inspire of her pieces required greater interactions thought about mixed opposites.

Her Slam poetry style is reminiscent of "I had mixed feelings because the stanmany featured on HBO's "Russell Sim- dards were very rigid," explained Gray. Photo by Rachell Reyes / The Pride "They had an outline instead of letting me write in my own voice." She then remembered one of her Communications teachers. While she was reciting a poem, the teacher had made a racial comment about how black people spoke. When Gray had said the word "earth," the teacher mentioned that black people said "urf." "It was a stereotype," said Gray. "How could a teacher say something like that? This was supposed to be higher education. I've always had good articulation." After that experience, school wasn't quite the same. "School didn't necessarily feel like a safe place to put my guts on paper for a teacher to grade," commented Gray. "Which is ironic, because I do Slam." One of her most memorable pieces that night was her "Letter to Hip-Hop." This poem had actually landed her a stint on Simmons's show, but she was urged not to perform that piece. She went ahead and performed it anyway. Unfortunately, the episode did not air, but she will never forget the audiences' intense reaction. And even though the performance did not earn her any money, Gray surely grew spiritually from the experience. Students at this latest performance heard several pieces from both her albums, "Shades of Gray" and her most recent, "Self-Love." A fter wrapping up her last performance, Gray received a standing ovation. "I loved it. I was shocked how much I loved it," said Mary Rice, a graduating senior. "She has an amazing presence and it's definitely an example of how poetry is made to be read out loud." Although many students admitted to attending the event for extra credit, Ngan Tran and Dulce Santana, both freshmen and majoring in Women's Studies, were glad that they came. "It was very powerful and I think she could relate to Cal State San Marcos because sixty five percent are women," said Santana. "I'm upset that I never knew her before." Gray is hopeful about her future, and a one-woman show is in the works. "The sky's the limit. I don't want to put a ceiling on my potential," said Gray.

Even though sex-related topics are discussed more today than any other time, there is still a hush-hush nature about the distribution and use of sex toys. Nonetheless, Associated Students Inc. is breaking the silencing with this year's Sex Toy Workshop. On March 7, in Commons 206 at 7pm, alumnus and former ASI Executive Crystal Folk will be presenting her company's (Passion Parties) best toys, tricks and tantalizers while Dr. Jayant Ghiara (otherwise known as "Dr. G"), who teaches Human Reproduction, will give us insider information on sexual responses and how to push all the right buttons. The fun begins when "Dr. G" gives a half hour presentation on our sexual response areas. Crystal will then break out her gear and give us the interactive pass around of Passion Party toys, each on sale at the event. In the end, "everyone who wants something to bring home will be able to with some free gift bags and the opportunity to win larger prizes in the free raffle," said Cheyenne Barr, Director of Women's Issues. There will also be insightful and educational pamphlets covering topics as the history of sex toys, and information on the different types of material used to make sex toys and what's best for each individual. One interesting fact is that the oldest sex toy, discovered, made of stone, dates back to 25,000 B.C.E. Yet, if sex toys have been around so long, why is the topic still taboo? According to "The Invention of Heterosexuality," by Jonathan Katz, in the Victorian era, Women's sexuality was only permitted for procreation. They were to be "temples of purity against the monster masturbator." Then in 1860-1892, doctors began to tell men and women that eroticism was essential. Our society has come a long way since then, and having sex toy workshops on campuses, celebrating in public the freedom of sexuality for women and men, is a definite milestone. In the book "Feminism is for Everybody," author bell hooks explains that "many heterosexual men embraced feminist thinking precisely because they were unfulfilled sexually in relationships with their partners, who were not interested in sex because they had been taught virtuous women were not sexually active." The workshop helps women realize that their bodies aren't just for the pleasure of men, but that it is ok to pleasure yourself by shedding a positive light on women's sexuality. "Talking about sex toys, their different functions and applications, is a great way to talk about different ways of sex that deviate from our traditional heteronormative intercourse," says Josh Harris, last year's women's history month coordinator. The goal of the workshop, according to Cheyenne Barr, is "for students to feel comfortable with their sexual experiences and get to know the part that our general sex education always leaves put." The great thing about workshops like the one being held on campus, according to Passionparties.com, is that the fun environment helps women feel comfortable discussing their sexual health, dispelling some E gg D onors N eeded I mmediately D el D ios Bar & Grill §¡¡¡¡1 •fc through ? % 11:30 am Closed Tuesdays i ll ' Help Make Dreams C o m e True and E a r n $5,000 a n d Up 760-489-4800 Please visit our W e w b at www.extraconceptioris.com or : call .(oil-free j l l t W «7Ô«t837 for more details of the age-old myths surrounding sexuality, and learning ways to improve communication and build stronger relationships with their partners. The growing popularity of this modern twist of a Tupperware Party' is evident, as it has filled nearly to capacity the last three years. To explain why these sex toy workshops are making such an impact, Josh Harris said, "Personally, I was amazed at how comfortable the audience was with the subject matter. We had about 250 people in Arts 240, and when it came time for the Q & A portion, people were asking the most personal and private questions in front of 200 or so fellow students. Yet, no one seemed awkward about it. I think people enjoy being able to discuss these ideas when they feel they are in an encouraging, sex-positive environment." �On Campus: Renowned underground filmmaker An evening lost with George Kuchar BY JON THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Underground filmmaker, George Kuchar, held a brief seminar last Wed night in arts 242. Kuchar took the opportunity to screen some examples of his recent work as well as to confuse students with his abnormal wit. At least 50 films and hundreds of short videos bear Kuchar's name, earning him fame in America's "Underground" film movement, a genre some say Kuchar founded in the early 50's, along with artists like Andy Warhol and Jack Smith. Further investigation reveals an extensive account of George and his brother Mike Kuchar's work online at the "Bright Lights Film Journal" in an article by Jack Stevenson, "The Day the Bronx Invaded Earth, The Life and Cinema of the Kuchar Brothers." In this article, Stevenson describes the underground movement of t he 50s to date as "not a genre but an anti-genre. Underground was an image-negative term that refuted, denied, and disowned definition rather than encouraged it. A thing underground was a thing unseen, something ominously other happening in the darkness. The underground film movement was never more than a collection of individuals who never quite collected." Before the presentation began, Kuchar sat outside, fumbling through his bag of FREE mm f m jgmi gs miniDv tapes, reminiscent of a 94-yearold grandmother, absentmindedly shaking through a milk crate filled with old family pictures. Despite organizer Jonathon Behnan's concerns of "burning out his speaker before he hits thé stage," the average person might have wondered if perhaps Berman should worry more how 'burnt out' his speaker was. Kuchar began rambling out short explanations of the films he was considering screening andfinallydecided that he would "get a feel for the audience and then decide what films they would most enjoy/' When asked how he felt about the progression of cinematic production technology, and if perhaps elements of the audience, or the art form, were lost in the transition from his early works on 8mm film to his latest works done with modern editing and special effects, the answer had very little to do with the question, and was recited word for word about halfway through his seminar. Kuchar responded with a lengthy timeline of the equipment he worked with over the years: "I started out with an 8mm camera and had to do all on-camera editing." Soon, Kuchar says, he received a second 8mm camera and a tape deck. While this made editing a lot easier, and he no longer had to edit the films while he shot, he FIVE 39Days FIVE ! fgpi fg m # § p §$ B UY 1 M YSTIC I I e g T a n s I A N GET 1 F REE] » I jf% fps® mm jr I Unfiminted Level 1 i M YSTIC T ANS or I Premium Beds ULTRA T ANS i l#$25 J 00$39 ¡ 0#$49 J G o forall CUM od SS rI Im* G o fora8 CUM od SS student and faculty G o for ail CUM od SS sftidtent and fcetigy! mostly describes this step in technology as "a web of wires that went everywhere." Kuchar now works in the "computer age," where all editing and special effects are done on the computer. Kuchar's perspectives on technology were soon evident as he described the advancement of film technology as "learning how to push a different button." His personal choice in minDv cameras is a Sony 1 chip, which he selected because "a Japanese student told me those were good, and I figured they know what they're talking about with that stuff." Included in the showcase of his most recent films, Kuchar included his annual holiday film. This year's entry, entitled "Holiday Hang ups," stared Kuchar as himself, taking a trip back to his home in the Bronx to "visit his mother and friends." One audience memeber described Kuchar as "the homeless old guy in the park, who has lost his mind and falls off the park bench as he yells at you walking by," later adding, "what really confused me is why Berman invited this guy here when half the things he is describing and showcasing are things Berman teaches never to do with regard to film." The audience also watched "Heavenly Feature," Kuchar's yearly tribute to the weather of the Oklahoma southern plains. Kuchar describes this film as bringing him both recognition and controversy. The most recent entry features breathtaking footage of the sky and clouds, visions quite foreign to residents of southern California. These heavenly images where accompanied by appropriately scene-setting music, allowing the viewer to get lost in the clouds, if only for a brief time. The film concluded, as it had started, with Kuchar talking with his toy clown puppet, likely leaving many to wonder, as with the rest of his films, just what was missed as Kuchar went from the brilliances of the sky to his toy clown and his displays ofjuvenile schizophrenia. The overall message to be learned from Kuchar, as he puts it, is that "anyone with $12 and a camera can make a video or film." Perhaps the additional message is that, just because you have $12 and a camera, doesn't necessarily mean you should make a movie.

She will be expected to appear at different functions in and around the city for the coming year as a representative of San Marcos. With midterms approaching, and the city expecting her to appear at eight to ten events each month, most students would find it hard to juggle the two roles, student and representative. Ms. Sanchez; however, seems to have her priorities clear. "This [pageant] is what I'm doing now; school, that's for the rest of my life." When asked if her new obligations as Miss San Marcos interfered with her student obligations, she replied definitively that, "it interferes with getting a job, but not with school ... if I have to study I just call and cancel with [the city of San Marcos]." While she may now be dedicated to getting her education, that was not always the case for this student. "I just went to college because it's the 'thing you do' after highschool," Ms. Sanchez said, while discussing her reasons for attending CSU San Marcos. She also admits that, before attend- ing college, she was not an especially motivated learner in high school, "I visited the vice principal several times... that's where you go when you get in trouble." But once at CSU San Marcos, her outlook towards school changed drastically. While many students start with the basic sciences, then migrate towards seemingly easier majors later in their educational career, Pilar took the opposite approach. • During her Freshman year she found her niche in the biology department, after a brief stint as a Communication major, drawn to both pharmacology and molecular biology. When asked about the difficulty of her classes, her eyes lit up, "I like my classes... I enjoy my labs. "I love being able to know things [other] people don't know", she explained excitedly. She attributed some of her success as a student to CSUSM Experience, a program designed to help incoming freshmen adjust to the rigors of college life. "It was like training wheels for college ... I needed a helping hand." Now that she's also found a voice in the community, she wants to encourage others to follow her example. "I'm more motivated than I ever was before in my life... and I want to motivate others," she explains, "I wish people would appreciate what We have here more. We have Photo by David Bauer / The Pride a good business school, good professors, and the biology department is getting better." Besides feeling that the campus benefits students, she also believes that the school is great for the community. "It's great to see a younger group in San Marcos... younger and more si cz scholarly," which, in her opinion, is a great asset to the area. Two weeks after winning the pageant, with midterms lurking, many students would be overwhelmed by the responsibility of being the representative of a city, as well as a student. Pilar explains that she doesn't feel "under pressure from both" sides, but concedes that "maybe it hasn't hit me yet?' If she does feel overburdened, she shows no signs of it, seeming both confident and excited about her roles as both newly crowned Miss San Marcos and as a promising student at CSUSM.

My first column appeared on Feb. 17, 2004, and I have given my opinion on numerous topics. I have rarely used this outlet to facilitate arguments or comment on previous columns; however, today I feel it is necessary. In the past 10 days I have received an unusual amount of email accusing me of being sexist and homophobic. These accusations are because of the article published two weeks ago in which I wrote about the Winter Olympics. Much of the controversy has come about from this statement, "Anything that involves dressing up in a sequined one-piece outfit while dancing on ice to a song called, "The Swan", is not a sport. The biggest figure skating star is Johhny Weir, who should just add a "D" to his last name and call it a day." Interestingly enough, these accusations have all been made by women. Here are a few of my favorite statements. Jane Sanchez wrote this in a letter to the editor, "Figure skating is a sport. The outfits that the athletes wear and the songs they choose to skate to do not determine if it is a sport. Homophobia is implied with the comment about Johnny Wier. He is a male figure skater and he is an athlete in a sport that people may see feminine, yes, but it does not mean he is weird." Elke Mcfarlane seconded the comment from Sanchez, when she said, "Your remark about figure skating, in particular about Johnny Weir, could imply that you are homophobic." Frankly, people who take homophobia from my statement about Weir are the ones who are perpetuating the stereotype that all male ice skaters are homosexual. I didn't write anywhere in my article that I see ice skating as feminine. Sanchez and Mcfarlane are putting words in my mouth. I didn't say he was weird because he is a figure skater. Go read some of his statements about ice skating and tell me those aren't weird things to say about ice skating. If you got homophobia from my statement, then I suggest examining your own viewpoint. Sanchez continued to say, "Sport as defined in the book Sports in Society, by Jay Goakley, is 'an institutionalized competitive activity that involves rigorous physical exertion or the use of relatively complex physical skills by participants motivated by internal and external rewards.'" Sanchez tried to prove her point, but she is helping me prove my point. What I wrote was my opinion on what a sport is and isn't. The key word from the previous sentence is, "my opinion." What Sanchez stated from that book is also an opinion. What is a sport is completely up to each individual interpretation. This comment comes from Stefanie Zeltner who said, "Having never read any of your articles before, I certainly hope that your other articles are much better than this last one. You need to learn that you need to back up your articles with some thing called fact. Sexism and opinions on gender certainly don't count. Since when do journalists have a right to make f un of athletes?" Well Stefanie, if you had read some of the previous 47 columns that I have written for "The Pride," then you might not be calling me a sexist. On April 13, 2004,1 wrote an article advocating more recognition for female athletes and on Nov. 1,2005,1 stated this in an article, "It boggles my mind that people actually care whether or not a person. is gay." Also, regarding your concerns about sports journalists mocking athletes, go read T.J. Simers from the "LA Times" or go listen to Jim Rome on 1090 AM and your question will be answered. Also, regarding backing up my article with fact. I believe I did so when I said these Olympics were not a success in America since American Idol kicked the Olympics' butt in viewership. While you're at it, go look at the drop off in viewership from past Winter Olympics. I also received some comments regarding my feelings about events that are based on the opinion of judges. Zeltner. said, "You also said that ice skating should be considered a competition because the results are determined by the opinion of a judge. Hmmm ... sounds familiar ... who that has ever gone to a football game realized that the opinion of a judge (aka Referee) impacts the result of the game?" Melinda Hansen added this to Zeltner's argument, "These judges know the sport down to every detail. They have to fulfill a certain criteria prior to becoming a judge. They follow strict guidelines and are knowledgeable about technical maneuvers that often go unnoticed to viewers." Diane Nematbakhsh added this about judges, "The judging of sports in the Olympics is highly technical. Judges must go through training and certification before they can step on the Olympic Judging board." Zeltner's statement makes me think she has never seen a football game. Referees in football facilitate the game. They don't hand out 10 points for one type of touchdown and five points for a different type of touchdown, whereas ice skating judges do exactly that, solely based on their opinion. That is why different judges watching the same ice skater give different scores, because it's based on opinion. As for Hansen and Nematbakhsh statement's about judges, I know judges have an extensive knowledge of ice skating, but they still dish points out based on opinion and the event is solely in their hands to determine who wins. Don't you remember the ice skating judging controversy in the previous Olympics where some of the judges were found to be fixing the event? Let's take a short break with a bit of a brain teaser. You can find the answer at the bottom of this column once you're done reading. Do you know what you get if you take away the skates from ice skaters? I have just a few more points before you find that answer. To all the readers who took offense to my Winter Olympics column, learn to laugh and take enjoyment in life because life is way too short to take things seriously 24/7/365.1 mean, I started that column off with, "Dear NBC." Did you honestly think that was a real letter I sent to NBC? It's called being satirical. Finally, I will not continue this conversation through this newspaper. I have always told emailers that they can meet me in person to discuss issues they have with me. To this day, no one has taken me up on that offer. I won't continue the argument in future columns because there is no way you can beat me in the paper because I have a column and you don't ... neener, neener, neener. That was a joke. Apparently I have to say that after every joke I make because some people take everything literally. 0nceagain,myemailissando026@csusm. edu and you probably realize now that I will print what you say so you might want to think twice. Here is the answer to the brain teaser: You get, "Dancing with the Stars" when you take the skates away from the ice skaters. Don't dare tell me that you consider that a sport. That was a joke so please don't send an email saying I have a phobia of celebrities who like to dance. shoe rental, pizza and prizes forfirstand second place b o w l e r s .

BY NATASHA HECKENDORN Pride Staff Writer Ron Pulvers expects superior performance New CSUSM soccer coach brings impressive resume BY ALEX GARIN Pride Staff Writer Ron Pulvers, the coach of Cal State San Marcos premiere soccer team, is accustomed to winning. Pulvers galvanized his reputation as a winning coach at Baker University and led the Wildcats to five conference championships, three conference tournament championships, and also claimed two regional championships. In addition, he has coached fourteen players who went on to become "AllAmericans," and was named conference coach of the year four times and regional coach of the year in 2002. Pulvers has won over 100 games in his career in the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and has never experienced a sub .500 season. This impressive record enabled him to scramble above a very competitive applicant pool, to become Cal State San Marcos first ever soccer coach. "Ron rose to the top of a highly competitive applicant pool. He brings with him an impressive coaching resume," said athletic director Dr. Terry Nichols, in a written statement. His career began humbly at Midwestern University in Wichita Falls Texas. However, his enthusiastic approach to the game of soccer enabled him to quickly ascend to a position as Head Coach of Baker University's soccer program in Baldwin, Kan. in 1996. Pulvers looks at his days at Baker University fondly. "I can not say enough great things about Eastern Kansas," says Pulvers. "The people of Kansas are top class, the cities are resourceful, and the overall quality of life is very high." However, he looks forward to coaching in his native Southern Californian atmosphere. Pulvers' new move will mark a transitional point in his career as a soccer coach and his life in general. He is relo- eating from a well-established soccer program to one in its infancy. Nevertheless, Pulvers is optimistic about the climate of the Cal State San Marcos athletic department and sees great potential. "The talent level is greater and the student-athlete pool is deeper in Southern California," Pulvers says. Despite his optimism, Pulvers recognizes that he will run into some initiatory problems. "The biggest task is to get the facilities established for the whole athletic department." Pulvers further stated, "The winning culture and the environment at CSU San Marcos are going to have to be established." The Cal State San Marcos inaugural soccer season will not start until the fall, however, Pulvers keeps himself occupied by recruiting and training candidates for the new soccer teams. He has never had a losing season before and plans to keep his reputation as a winning soccer coach intact here at Cal State. Pulvers is spending his first preseason scouting and recruiting players on an invitational basis, but will hold an open tryout for inspiring athletes at a yet to be determined date. In a written statement regarding his move, Pulvers says, "I share the excitement of the university in the growth and development of a new era in athletics. It is my goal to develop an exciting brand of soccer that will produce student-athletes who represent the university with class, character and spirit." He hopes to add some new additions to his trophy shelf in upcoming years and displays an uncanny enthusiasm for the sport. Pulvers will coach against Paul Caligiuri's Cal Poly Pomona teams during his first time on the Cal State sideline. Caligiuri has played in for the United States in two World Cups and was inducted into the soccer Hall of Fame. The highly anticipated season opener will be held on Friday, August 25 at 5:30 p.m. �Golf team misses previous coach BY BRITTANY GOEHRING Special to The Pride The CSUSM Cougar's golf teams lost Coach Hanover two days before the 2005 fall semester began. He was placed on administrative leave, according to President Haynes, at the request of Athletics. When the teams met for the f irst time last semester at a mandatory meeting, we were instructed by the Athletic Director NOT to have any contact with Coach Hanover. We were told that he was not under suspension for sexual harassment or misappropriation of f unds, but rather had been placed on leave due to a personnel conflict in the Physical Education Department. This conflict placed the Women's Golf team in jeopardy, and we were directly and negatively affected by his removal. Several players have considered leaving the team due to conflicting coaching strategies that have more or less found the team scrambling for leadership. The ladies have been kept in the dark pertaining to the allegations against Coach Hanover. Letters have been sent to the President's Office in his behalf. We as a team have collectively attempted to meet with President Haynes' office since last semester, to no avail. We were told that the president is very busy and not always available to speak with students regarding their concerns. Even parents have tried contacting the President's Office, only to have their questions referred to the Athletic Director's (A.D.) office. It just seems like nothing is being done to keep the program together the way it was prior to Coach Hanover's removal. Finally, a fter repeated requests, we have now been granted an appointment with the president to express our concerns. But all along the A.D.'s office, which is in charge of this investigation, has attempted to p acify us with statements of support for Coach Segura, and to d iffuse our support for Coach Hanover. These actions by the A.D. have caused the team to be split, and any type of comradery which we had in the past has been undermined by this conflict. We will continue our efforts to get Coach Hanover back until justice is done. Last month the first days of Coach Hanover's arbitration hearing were held and the A.D. gave his side of the story. The A.D. who is in charge of filing this discipline against our coach is also the Cougar's liaison to the President's Office. We , • as students and athletes, are concerned over this procedure. How can that be possible? Isn't that a conflict of interest? What code of ethics is the Athletic Department operating under? Are we the only ones to see that the A.D. representing the president at the hearing is not right? The plight of our team is serious, and our season is at great risk. Coach Hanover needs our support and we need his expertise in running a successful golf program. This is why we are requesting an end to the deliberation, a decision be made, and the program facilitators bring back Fred Hanover. We will fight to the end to make our voices heard and to let everyone know what is really going on here. We do appreciate CSUSM as an outstanding institution of higher education, but what's happening in the golf program these days teaches all of us the wrong lesson. Bumper Oars: College Edition BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer The student population at CSUSM is split into two main categories, the day students and the evening students. Between the hours of 4 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., the two crowds collide into a chaotic dance I've entitled, "The Parking Lot War." There are three basic characters in this dance. The "Hunter" stalks prey with their vehicle, hoping to swoop in on the prey's parking spot. If the prey wanders too far from the Hunter's desired parking range, the Hunter speeds off in search of new prey to creep up on and leaves the old prey inhaling exhaust fumes. The "Chicken King" parks his or her car at the beginning of the desired parking aisle. The Chicken King claims the aisle by refusing to move until a car pulls out of a parking spot he or she deems desirable. If other cars in search of parking spots pull up behind the Chicken King, or if a car parks at the end of the parking aisle, the Chicken King will hold his or her ground and refuse to budge. If the car at the end of the aisle refuses to budge as well, the game of "chicken" commences. Once a car pulls out of a spot that the Chicken King and the challenger would like to park in, engines rev and it's a mad dash to get to the parking spot first, pull in, and park. Lastly, there's the "Snake" parker. This person scavenges the parking lot in search of another parker waiting patiently for a car to pull out of a spot. As soon as the person pulls out, the Snake pulls into the stall from the other direction, nonchalantly parks his or her car and walks to class, ignoring the words of f ury the patient parker hurls at him or her. The various prey have learned methods to try and distract or avoid the Hunter, Chicken King, and Snake. They can weave in and out of parked vehicles to confuse parkers or pretend to be near a vehicle that is their own then, as a parker approaches, walk away towards either another pretend vehicle or to their actual vehicle. Prey can also sit in their vehicle for fifteen minutes or however long it takes the waiting parker to give up, and then pull out of the parking spot as the parker impatiently speeds off. Each parking aisle is probably 10 feet in distance from the next aisle. There are about six aisles in any given campus parking lot. Is it really more strenuous having to walk 20 more feet to get a parking spot rather than driving around for 30 minutes trying to find one "closer"? Of course there are exceptions, and I understand not everyone is in the best condition to walk more than necessary. If everyone parks at the first stall they see instead of "cherry picking" for stalls 10 feet closer to the campus, there would be more spots available for the exceptions that really do need to park closer, and there'd be less parking lot anxiety build up. So if you're a Hunter, Chicken King, or Snake, maybe you need to re-evaluate why parking 10 feet closer is more important than getting to class on time.

The lighting is dim to keep a serene feeling and the chance to relax while enticing aromas permeate every corner of the restaurant. While the food cooks the server creates an oil-based dressing for the fresh bread right at the table. Entrées come steaming fresh while the servers wait nearby to offer fresh pepper and grated parmesan. The Manager, Denise Arthur, encourages customers to try new dishes with the foreknowledge that one can order a new dish if the former wasn't to their liking. That afternoon I was there with a friend, and Ms. Arthur urged her to be adventurous and try a new dish. My friend, being a picky eater, obliged, only to find that after one bite she'd rather stick with plain alfredo. Arthur BY KATRENA ROBINSON Pride Staff Writer Just as Italian is the language of love, Italian cuisine is the food of romance. Well, maybe not officially, but it's definitely scrumptious. Luckily, there's a little bit of Italy right down the street on San Marcos Blvd. and Grand, called Johnny Carino's. Upon entering, I noticed the seating was plentiful and diverse with options such as comfy bar seats, four cornered tables, open booth tables, and curtains that can be pulled for privacy. As I enjoyed my cuisine, bubbly waiters and waitresses stoppeci by to ensure that everything was well. Soft music drifted out of the overhead speakers to set the mood, yet if you listened closely you'd notice it wasn't Italian music. laughed, happy that she tried it, and brought her a new dish. The manager's lighthearted and animated presence created an enjoyable experience as she hustled from table to table, joking and making sure everyone was taken care of. As busy as the restaurant gets, it manages to remain spotless in the dining room and bathroom. The heavy wooden doors and wicker baskets gave the restaurant a cozy atmosphere. Johnny Carino's effortlessly promotes an experience of being not in a restaurant, but over at a friend's house. The customer can feel comfortable and relaxed, with prices ranging from only about $10 for main courses and about $7 for appetizers. The food is amazing, customer service is excellent, and the atmosphere brings it all together. Photo by Erin Young / The Pride C D or see it: Student concert guide BY SUMMER CONNERY Pride Staff Writer For less than the price of an average CD, kids can bring their live-band-loving friends to San Diego for a smorgasbord of punk shows; besides, who buys their music these days? On Sunday, March 12, New Jersey band " Saves Day" will be playing the House of Blues, along with Circa Survive, Moneen, and Pistolita. For $15 you can see this amazing set of musicians play, previewing their new album, due out in April. Their soft sound and distinct acoustic melodies have been around since 1998, and their music varies and improves with time. If you are a secret emo fanatic, you will gladly be a part of this crowd. Closer to Saint Paddy's Day, you will find something a little darker at Soma. "Black Dahlia Murder," named after the 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short, the "Black Dahlia" has a sound to match their name. Those in desperate need of a good scream need to show up at the main stage at 7 p.m. to witness this "melodic death metal" in person. Their show also includes Throwdown, The Red Chord, and The Agony Scene. The event is on Friday and will cost you $13, a small price to pay to bring the morbid and deliciously dark side of you out to play. If you are looking for a place where you can find an addictive chorus, genuinely sentimental lyrics, amazingly fresh riffs, with just the hint of a good scream, then Soma will also be the place for you on Wednesday, March 22. Emery, a band full of "Southern Carolina boys," wanting nothing more than to pour their hearts out on stage, will be playing this venue -with Anberlin, Far Less, The Classic Crime, and Jonezetta. For $13 you can hear songs such as Ponytail Parade, Walls, and The Secret on the main stage. Scrounging up the $8 would be worth it to catch The Higher along with Lydia, Those Green Eyes, and Killing Moon, on Thursday March 30. Their instantly likable sound will pull you in and k eep Their sound takes on an emo feel, yet something is different. Their bassist Jason Centero has a background in hip-hop and R&B, so they bring a whole new backbeat to the typical emo sound. They also touch slightly on a techno sound, which fits surprisingly well into their set. If you want to hear some music you can relax to, this is the perfect way for you to end your week. Those nights of boredom this March don't have to mean logging on to myspace anymore. Live shows are the perfect cheap and accessible night out. If you are interested in any of the shows mentioned, you can find more information at both hob.com and Somasd.com.

Advising appointments took months to get The economy finally started to recover this year, but instead of putting new resources in the classrooms, the Trustees spent $1.2 million on huge raises for top administrators. They could have used that money to offer 262 more sections that would enroll 10,000 students. After all, the housing allowance for presidents Is more than the yearly pay of many professors! To top It all off, after raising student fees every year since 2002, the Trustees want to raise them a gain-10% per year for the next four years. The C SU is getting so expensive that enrollments are starting to decline! Meanwhile, faculty and staff unions are negotiating new contracts, and the C SU administration is pushing hard for cutbacks in compensation and job security. They want to get rid of reliable cost-of-living raises for faculty who are already underpaid. They want to dump three-year contracts for lecturers, making them scramble for work every semester. And they want to gut the F ERP program that lets retired faculty keep teaching the courses students need. l itiTIS M R OFF! THAT'S RIGHT, FREE.

Rated PG-13, Running time 105 minutes. How To... Satisfy lato night cravings BY SUMMER CONNERY Pride Staff Writer After a long night out dancing, socializing, drinking or heaven forbid, studying, there is nothing better then seeking out your neon sign of choice. That's right, the infamous 2 a.m. food run. There's nothing more satisfying then finding your own personal brand of solitude in a paper wrapper. We are all guilty of giving i n to our growling stomachs, regardless of what time it is, and heading out to our favorite eatery for greasy foods we all adore. Sorry, but peanut butter and jelly on white, you just don't cut it when it comes to a late night cravings. So where do you go when the clock strikes 2 and the bar is closing? Well, the students here at Cal State San Marcos had their own ideas about their late night oasis. However their tastes didn't stray far from one student to the next. The places we absolutely cannot live without in the middle of the night are taco shops (what would we do without them?) and Denny's. Now, everyone has his or her favorite taco shop. Alberto's, Albertacos, Antonio's. What is not to like? Burritos that weigh as much as your head, long lines of college students eagerly awaiting their fix of choice, menus that are bright enough to burn your retinas for a good ten minutes, and the voice behind the box that never, ok almost never, gets your order right. It is pure heaven. So why do we endure the conditions of the ever-busy taco shop? Where else can you show up with a dollar and a smile and leave completely happy? After speaking with a few of our midnight munching males and females here on campus, I found that I was not the only one involved in a romantic liaison with the California burrito from Santana's Mexican Grill on San Marcos and Pacific. "Santana's fulfills every void in your stomach at the wee hours of the morning," said Adam Bishop. "The California burrito rocks my socks." There is also the famous known green and yellow sign which we have all searched desperately for in the middle of the night. The nearest Denny's to campus, on San Marcos Blvd., can provide any gung-ho breakfast fanatic with a greasy slice of heaven they Photos by Erin Young / The Pride desire. "Denny's $3.99 Grand Slam, you get everything on one plate," said Jeremy Decker. The Grand Slam includes two buttermilk pancakes, two eggs any style, toast, and two pieces of bacon and sausage. Denny's has something to offer for everyone, including meat lovers, traditional country biscuits and gravy, and don't forget the Fabulous French Toast Platter. From the 24hr drive thru at the McDonald's at Knoll and San Marcos, to the Winchell's Donuts on Valley Parkway in Escondido, we all have our own recipe for the gut-bomb we so desire. So, the next time you need to kill that craving, keep these fine late night dining establishments in mind. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We've all heard the conversations bashing the food quality, the prices and the look, but the conversations might just come to an end.

The multi-colored banners and chutes attracted the attention of many passers-by. According to deGhetaldi, budget cuts in public education have caused a lack of formal physical education in elementary schools. As part of her class, Dr. deGhetaldi is instructing student teachers fun and innovative ways to incorporate physical education back into the elementary school system. "It's critical for us to continue teaching physical education at the elementary school level," said deGhetaldi. Students in the class seemed to enjoy learning the activities. "It's a f un class, a lot better than normal PE," said Carrie Wade, a student in the class. Students will vote for their new ASI representatives March 21-24. Candidates have now started their campaigning process to vie for your vote. To be an informed voter, students can read statements from the candidates in this issue of The Pride.

As Cal State San Marcos grows into the campus that it is destined to be, I feel excited and motivated to have the opportunity in shaping the future of this school. As the current Undergraduate Representative, I will continue to battle for inclusiveness and shared governance for the proud students of our campus. Nicholas J. Bonomi Business Major, emphasis in Service Sector Management College of Business Representative Hello everyone, I am running for ASI College of Business Rep. I would appreciate your vote for the following reasons. The Annual 04-05 ASI Projected budget was nearly 1.1 million dollars. Many students don't know what ASI stands for. If a student can identify ASI he/she is unlikely able to explain the organizations purpose. Most of the budget is spent on 150-200 students. 40.6% of the U million is spent on Administration, 17.7% is spent on the board of directors, and 15.3% goes to the ELC (Early Learning Center). This adds to 73.6%; if elected I will push to have funds allocated towards the campus population as a whole. I hope I get your vote to make ASI an efficient organization. Have a good semester. Ashley Nichole Dunn Bio-Chemestry Major V.P. of Finance I believe our purpose as executive members of ASI is to serve the students. One of the main things that I would do as V.R of Finance, is listen to the things that you as students would like to see at CSUSM. A few things that are important to me is keeping the cost of tuition and parking down, increasing class availability, and increasing advising availability. So vote for me, Ashley Dunn as V.R of Finance. "GET ER' DUNN!" "Exec Team 2006" Remember the name- I'm a WRITE IN!!! L. A. I. S. N. E. It's pronounced "La-nay" Please vote for me!

According to Romero, getting students and faculty to work together and promote a better campus environment for learning and relaxing is a big part of Wellness Month. During Wellness Month, coordinators like Devon will be promoting the six dimensions of wellness. The six dimensions of wellness are physical wellness, intellectual wellness, emotional wellness, spiritual wellness, social wellness and occupational wellness. Each of the six dimensions of wellness will be represented through different events pertaining to a particular dimension. Organizers are planning many different events that students can come and take place in, such as yoga, self-defense classes, and a seminar entitled Chicken Soup for the Cougar Soul. Each Monday during Wellness Month will be known as Blue Monday, and different events such as yoga, progressive relaxation, and guided imagery will accompany the morning's events. Each blue Monday will try and undertake one of the six dimensions of personal wellbeing.

She said she struggled because of lack of funds, however was able to incorporate events suited for all. "We put together events that will accommodate all women. We wanted to create an array of events to accommodate any kind of person whether it is through culture or music to name a few," said Hitson. Women's studies was given a grant through CSUSM last year; however, this year Hitson was on her own to find funds to put together these events. Through various proposals written by Hitson some money did come through. "I didn't know coming into this position that I was going to have to put so much effort in finding the funds because last year Women's Studies had funds straight from CSUSM. I was disappointed at the lack of help from CSUSM since 63 percent of our campus is made up of women," said Hitson.

He is aiming to tackle the short term goals during the summer of 2005. P hoto by A dia B ess / The Pride Wood has lots of ideas that he is ready to begin working on. "I love working in a University environment, but I wish I could just go, go, go! There is a radical sense of urgency," said Wood. Short term plans include mirrors to make the Dome look bigger, painting with neon or bright colors, and an upgrade to the look and names of the five eateries currently in the Dome. In addition the food will also have a new taste. The salad bar will offer more choices, we will be introduced to new pizza flavors such as b-b-q chicken and four cheese, the sub station will adopt a new superhero theme, the quick serve grill will incorporate a blue plate special and the House of Tsang (half Asian and half Italian) will transform into a bigger Mexican food concept. Long term goals include picking up square footage to make the Dome bigger, and possibly bringing branded units into the new area. This wouldn't be the first extensive renovation in the Dome's history. In September of 2002, the Cal State San Marcos Foundation spent more than $575,000 to design and outfit a new kitchen which included professional ovens, stoves, steamers, fryers, a stainless steel food prep area, pass-through refrigerators, and separate areas for dishwashing, food storage, and offices. Wood said he is very excited about implementing new menus that keep pace with the changing tastes of students. "Years ago it was ok to serve grilled cheese and tomato soup; now campuses have to offer as many choices as possible," he said. Wood said that even with changes in the menu he wants to, "maintain foods that will be affordable to the masses."

So, the smart student will plan ahead. Spring Break vacation can be enhanced with the right tools of knowledge. Before planning a getaway, knowing where to go is a key point and several web sites list the most popular destinations for f un in the sun. The Travel Channel web site has its own list, including Cancun, Mexico as the second most popular destination. Since international destinations come with some much needed precautions, students should arm themselves with knowledge of health concerns within a certain region. Fear not, help is as easy as the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC's traveler's health site contains information regarding health risks in regions throughout the world. Our own CSUSM web site has travel tips located on the University Global Affairs site at http://www.csusm. edu/UGA/Travelresources.htm. This site has links for traveler's health, currency converters and airport guides. There is also great information on problem areas that students should avoid traveling to. For international travel, students have many concerns to consider and should be aware of organizations like International Students Travel Confederation (ISTC). ISTC will help students to get organized for travel and offers student discounts around the world with the aide of an international student I.D. card. The group also provides company information for travel agents that deal discount fares for full time students. They can keep students informed and safe while traveling and list approved travel agencies that students can use in conjunction with ISTC. STA Travel is one of Itch's approved travel agencies and they have offices on the SDSU campus and one in the Pacific Beach area.

Poet and performance artist Bridget Gray will be making her third appearance at CSUSM in honor of Women's History Month. Sponsored by Student Residential Life, Gray will perform in Arts 240 at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 14. Regarded as one of the most refreshing spoken word artists, Gray is not afraid to tackle the issues in life that others tend to avoid. Her signature piece, "Shades of Gray," was released in 2001, and her second CD, "Self Love," will be issued this year. Gray has won many poetry slam competitions and has recently been the host of a nationally syndicated radio show called "Electric Moyo." Her dynamic stage presence and the relevance of her words will ~ surely make an entertaining evening for those who attend the performance. Gray will also be conducting a question and answer period after the performance and read- Photo courtesy of www.totalescape.com Above: Take time out to enjoy the outdoor scenery of Cabo.

STA Travel offers package deals to students traveling and is already booking for summer vacation. Local all inclusive travel companies, such as Summer Winter Action Tours (S.W.A.T.), offer full packages and group tours. For one price, they include transportation, accommodations and free S.W.A.T events. They have trips to Mexico that include Rosarito and San Felipe. The tour is for members only and gives a safe way to travel in a large group. The company has EMT's on site and corresponds with the local law enforcement to ensure cooperation.

A central focus of the article is a search for some rationale for this decision. Several are considered - perhaps President Haynes values athletics more than the newspaper? Or is it a bit of revenge for The Pride's coverage of the Michael Moore situation? Was the fee proposal not good enough? Don't people see how much improved the paper would be with twelve pages and color? Who could object to only $2.50, none of it going to salaries? As the author of the athletics fee proposal, I would like to share my experienced in the long process of developing the proposal - because what I learned as I went through the process sheds a lot of light on why my fee is on the ballot, while the newspaper fee is not. And not to give away the punch line, but...it has nothing to do with any of the above. When I took the position as Athletics Director, my first task was (is!) to address the funding problems we face. Despite a record of excellence that might surprise you if you haven't been following our golf, cross-country and track teams ~ eight Far West Regional Championships, 15 finishes the Top Twenty in year-end national rankings, 44 NAIA AllAmericans, a national champion in the women's marathon - our department was on the verge of being shut down due to lack of funding. I quickly learned why. I contacted every other AD in the CSU system and discovered that we are the only campus in the entire CSU that has no student fee funding for intercollegiate athletics! At every other CSU campus - in fact, as one AD told me, at virtually every other public university in the country - students pay a set fee to f und the athletics program. State money supplements that fee revenue, but no athletics program exists on general fund money alone, as we had been trying to do. So the problem was clear; the solution, though, was not so simple. Several of the Athletics Directors I spoke with over the summer shared something else with me: the CSU Chancellor's Office had imposed a "soft moratorium" on campus-based fees. What's a soft moratorium, you ask? I had to ask, too - and so began a series of conversations with some pretty important people in the CSU hierarchy: Patrick Lenz, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Budget Development, and Chris Canfield, the CSU's Lead Budget Analyst. QTT ONZOMV Here's what I learned from them: the Chancellor is concerned that, in this era of budget cuts to the campuses, individual CSU schools might be too quick to turn to campus-based student fees to make up the difference. Hence the moratorium: no offsetting the declines in funding by imposing new campus fees; no asking students to foot the bill for things that were once funded by other sources, because you worry that those other funding sources might be dry up. This is where the " soft" part of the fee moratorium comes into play. The CSU recognizes that not all proposals for new fees will fall into the category just described, and thus an absolute ban on any and all fees is too extreme. So the Chancellor's Office will consider allowing a new student fee under certain circumstances - but the proposer has to make the case for it. That is exactly what I did with the athletics fee proposal. I made the case that we are the only CSU in the system that does not have an athletics fee - that this is a standard fee, found at all CSUs (and all public universities); we just don't have it here because we are a relatively new campus, and our athletics program is newer still. The folks at the Chancellor's Office accepted that reasoning and indicated they would allow our fee to go forward. The Pride finds itself in a very yvirji different situation. As I understand it, it is very rare in the CSU for a student paper to be supported by its own student fee. It may be, in fact, that only Sacramento State has such an arrangement. This puts The Pride at a real disadvantage: not only is such a fee not commonly found throughout the CSU, the fact is that almost nobody else does it that way. That being the case, I can tell you, based on my own conversations with the people who make these decision in the Chancellor's office, that there is virtually no way the Chancellor would have approved The Pride fee. A novel, new fee that exists at very few other campuses is simply not something the CSU administration will support now. President Haynes, well aware of all this, made the tough decision: since there is no chance it will be approved by the CSU, there is no sense spending campus time, money and energy campaigning for it and voting on it. So the fact that the newspaper fee is not on the ballot has nothing to do with anyone placing greater value on The Pride than on athletics; it's not "athletics versus The Pride" in any sense. Both are good for this campus, and just as campus life will benefit from more vibrant athletics offerings, especially spectator sports, so too woujd it have been great for the newspaper to be longer talking and in color. It has nothing to do with Michael Moore; if you think President Haynes is so petty and vindictive as to operate that way, you don't know her very well. It has nothing to do with the quality of the proposal (members of the Student Fee Advisory Committee have told me it was very good), and no, $2.50 is not too much to ask. But none of that is the point; rather, the point is that the newspaper fee, even had students passed it overwhelmingly, would have fallen victim to the Chancellor's soft moratorium. I'll conclude with a wish and a hope. I wish someone had alerted those who worked on The Pride fee proposal of this reality long ago, before they spent considerable time and energy on their fee proposal; it is a long, arduous process, and I'm sorry to see anyone go through it for naught. And the hope? The athletics department is not even going to apply for any funds from the Instructionally Related Activity fund this year (if the athletics fee passes, we won't need it; if it fails, the IRA funds won't save us). I sincerely hope The Pride gets a nice share of what we might have gotten; twelve color pages would be nice.

BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writer This may seem like an extension of what is now looking to be a regular feature of The Pride, but "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" is definitely a guilty pleasure. If you have kids or a younger sibling, you might be able to get away with renting or buying this movie without getting too much slack from the cashier. The rest of you may just have to wear dark sunglasses and a scarf for fear of recognition. But the movie is just so funny you can't help but giggle. Like when Patrick asks the princess if she wants to see his underwear. Or when Spongebob gets killed off. Wait. Did I just say that? Yes, Spongebob does get killed off in the movie.

And I must say he has the strongest pecks I have ever seen. The premise of the story involves the Krusty Krab burger competitor, who is jealous of the burger joint's success. He steals King Neptune's crown and frames the restaurant owner. Spongebob tries to recover the crown so that he can save his boss and prove that he is a loyal employee. The result is a comical adventure that amuses both young and old. The DVD is packed with a few great features too. For animation buffs, there are two featurettes exploring the making of the movie, including one that focuses on the creator of Spongebob, Stephen Hillenburg, and the writers of the movie. For Spongebob fans, there is an extra short clip called "Case of the Spongebob." You won't be seeing that on the Nickelodeon channel anytime soon. Then, for video game buffs, there a small preview of the video game that also branched out from the TV show and movie. It's just a lot of fun and laughs, but if you're too embarrassed to be spending somewhere around $20 to own this movie, at least go out and rent it so you too can join in the fun.

Richard Move and What is a six-foot tall man doing dressed up like a woman leaping across the stage? Why pretending to be Martha Graham of course! The independent film, "Ghostlight," starring Richard Move is the story of legendary dancer and choreographer, Martha Graham, told through the eyes of a fictitious filmmaker. Move plays the part of Martha, which in itself is ironic because he is over six feet tall and she barely measuredfivefeet. As he towers over the other dancers, he delivers his words of advice to them in a controlled, alto voice, teaching them the moves as well as infusing Martha's philosophies. Time in the movie is non-linear; it bounces backward and forward with fake historical film clips to help the viewer gain perspective into her life. Martha's famous "I thought it was inspiring,"-student Katie Summers friends, like the designer Halston, Liza Minelli, Helen Keller, and Deborah Harry (who appears in thefilm)also add an interesting dynamic to the movie. It is difficult to put a specific label on this movie. It seems like a biopic, but is delivered in a campy manner that has the audience trying to work out if they should take it seriously or not. In the end though, it felt like it was a heartfelt tribute to an icon of modern dance. The preview of "Ghostlight" was sponsored by the La Jolla Music Society and shown last Monday in Arts 240. The star of the movie, Richard Move, introduced the film and was available afterwards to answer questions. He said that thefilmwas started around 1998 and took four or five years tofinish.He also stars in a live show about Graham called, "Martha that has played in New York and has toured around the world. He laughingly said, "Martha is finally being represented by a body that is able to live up to her stature." "I thought it was inspiring," said CSUSM student Katie Summers. "I was really amazed." Another student, Isabel Gonzalez said, "It teaches you about the arts and how the creative process comes about." There is a tradition that dictates that a stage should never be completely dark after a show, and that is why a single lightbulb is left on all night. Richard Move's impersonation of Martha Graham has embraced the legend and he has become her own personal "ghostlight," keeping her memory alive in the hearts of her fans.

Now there's Franky G in Jonny Zero. Jonny Calvo (Franky G) was just released from prison after doing four years for beating a guy to death. He really wants to turn his life around (no drugs, no guns, no 'hos), but his world (which is, naturally, full of drugs, guns, and 4hos) makes it hard for Jonny to be a stand-up kinda guy. Jonny has a low-paying, legit job in a boxing gym, a high-paying job with the same boss/crime lord that helped him get into trouble in the first place (only this time Jonny is being forced to find some dirt on the guy for the cops), and he moon- Photo courtesy of Warner Bros. Television lights as a do-good, private investigator, helping folks in the 'hood with assorted problems, generally caused by drugs, guns, and ' hos. There's lots of opportunity for moral dilemmas and chase scenes involving his cherry muscle car~ a red and white Chevy SS—but all that really matters is that Jonny has plenty of opportunity to remove his shirt—the guiltiest pleasure on network television this season. Opening with its now trademark poppy bass beat, the 1990s sitcom "Seinfeld" has brought me joy through all their kooky and crazy adventures. Jerry struck gold with this ground-breaking sitcom that followed the lives of four friends in New York just living out their lives; it was dry, cynical humor that was an antidote to the 1980s; it was the comedy—the witty and sarcastic eccentricities of each episode—that "Seinfeld" fans fell in love with. No matter how many times I've seen the same episode, you'll still see a smile on my face after every Kramer entrance or Elaine's "GET OUT" shove. Be it the physical comedy of Michael Richards (Cosmo Kramer), or the neurotic ramblings of Jason Alexander (George Costanza), "Seinfeld" has kept me ecstatic since my first episode. It is the simple human interactions that make this show my guilty pleasure. And with the release of the first three seasons on DVD you'll be sure to find me.. .well, actually you won't find me because I'll be bundled up in my room watching "Seinfeld" reruns. Tour de France BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer It all started quite innocently six years ago. Flipping through the channels, I landed on the Outdoor Life channel that was covering the Tour de France. Boring.. .but wait.. .these guys are pretty buff in their neon spandex! I started watching and next thing I knew I was hooked. For the next 21 days, I was compelled to w atchtwo to three hours of coverage a day—while learning useful French words like "maillot jaune" and "peloton." I was fascinated by the picturesque French countryside rolling by and the obligatory shot of the local cathedral. But it's not about the scenery, it's about the drama! Why is Lance chasing down the Italian hot shot? Is perpetual bridesmaid Jan fat again? Is Tyler on drugs? Will Robin do his comedy routine? Will the cameraman give us a good shot of a streaker? I know I'm not alone in my secret obsession, there are many more out there. You know those people you see wearing Lance's yellow rubber bracelets? They'll tell you it's about cancer awareness, but don't let them kid you: they x^ spend hours watching the XTDF, too. \ And we are all counting down the days until July 2. Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures Television Wifeswap Image courtesy of www.abc.com BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Jon Marsh / www.velophoto.com When a wealthy Southern Republican swaps lives with a liberal middle class lesbian, they don't exactly blend in to their new lives and the result is a fascinating reality show. I knew I was hooked from the beginning. Every week "Wife Swap" takes two extremely opposite people forces them to trade families for two weeks. For the first week they agree to live by the already established household rules and in the second week they are allowed to change the rules, forcing their new family to live by their rules. When the rules change the drama begins. Children resent being punished by someone other than their parents, clean houses become messy, messy houses clean up, boring people have fun, and it's great. At the end of the two weeks all the spouses are reunited and they sit down to talk. This gives people the chance to tell someone to their face what they think of their family, which often ends in a shouting match, or tears-many lessons go unlearned. There is no cash prize on this show, only the opportunity to learn from the experience. Unfortunately most of the people are too unwilling to change or accept the world from a different perspective. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

So if you have not planned your spring break trip yet, you'd better hurry. Most CSUSM students are looking to vacation in a warm, exciting, and cheap spring break spot. So here are five that are exciting and reasonable. Mazatlan is known as the city of perpetual summers. With the longest uninterrupted beaches in all of Mexico, Mazatlan offers exciting water sports, great beaches, awesome parties, all night dance clubs, great shopping and great restaurants such as the Shrimp Factory and Shrimp Bucket. Mazatlan offers low cost shuttles, tour guides and taxicabs so you can check out some of the highlights of Mazatlan such as: the c liff divers, the Corona and Pacifico Breweries and Old Mazatlan where the old Mazatlan Cathedral is located. Mazatlan is an unforgettable spring break experience. When people hear about Cancun they automatically think of non-stop partying. Cancun is fourteen miles of beautiful coastline* with clear turquoise water and fabulous white sandy beaches. During the day you can enjoy the sights and sports that Cancun has to offer. Explore the Mayan ruins, snorkel, tour the jungles, swim with the dolphins, golf and enjoy exciting water sports like parasailing. There is also great shopping and restaurants in Cancun, and if you just want to relax, you can do so on the beach all day. The night life in Cancun is out of control. There are clubs and bars everywhere to ensure a vacation you will never forget. Get ready to kick up your feet and relax to some reggae music, because we are going to Jamaica man. Jamaica is a tourist paradise. Due to the overpopulated and poverty-ridden country, the best and safest resorts to vacation at are those like The Sandals and Beaches resorts. These resorts ensure a relaxing and exciting vacation. Plus, there is all you can eat buffets and bottomless drinks. For daytime excitement, these resorts offer snorkeling, parasailing, boating, booze cruises and c liff jumping. While in Jamaica, kick back, relax, and soak up the sun. For those students that wish to drive to a spring break destination here are two hot spots that are fun, cheap and only, a couple hours away from San Diego.

We will take you to all these beautiful countries and explain the benefits and fun of venturing abroad this coming year. Photos by Sarah Carlin, Tor Freed & Elizabeth Bal<dwin/77ze Pride Pack right before you leave home ByCHADSHNKS £ride StaffWriter * - Whether you're planning to go back home to see the family, or planning to go to Beirut for the international marble players competition for spring break, chances are you need to pack. Don't worry, because packing for a trip is as fun as a toaster in the bath. Wait a minute, that's not fun—who am I kidding—packing sucks. But still, you need to be prepared. Let's go over some tricks of the trade. I heard that some of these tips have been passed down from ancient boy scout lore. But who cares, I never wanted to be a boy scout anyway. First o ff, bring a toothbrush. If you bring nothing but the clothes on your back and a toothbrush, you should be okay. When traveling, it's hard to receive help from someone if you are in their face with rotten breath, asking them where the nearest Motel 6 is. Along with a toothbrush, bring a razor If you like to pack heavier, however, you will need a bag. Anything with wheels is a plus. If traveling through airports, it's a must. If using a duffle bag, you can use duct tape to attach a skateboard to the bottom of the bag. It makes walking through the airport easier. You can attach a rope to the handle and pull it, or you can ride your bag like a sled (be careful of running in to the ankles of elderly people. This will often create an unwanted dramatic scene.) If you don't have a skateboard, it should be easy to acquire from a little brother or a friend's sibling. Maximizing space in your bag is a helpful practice. Rolling your clothes instead of folding them is a great way to save room and minimize wrinkles. Black colored shirts and pants go a long way on trips. You can get away with wearing a dirty black shirt for a couple days with no one noticing. White clothing will instantly become a magnet for coffee, See PACKING TIPS, page 2 �MY JOURNEY TO ISRAEL Editorial Staff Staff Writers Editors-in-Chief Elizabeth Baldwin Jonathan Rodley News Editor Tom Pfingsten features Editor Sarah Carlin A&E Editor Natalie Barham ChadSpinks Danielle Boldt Ombudsman Mike Dolan Business Manager Danika Quinones CÌi0W Editor Kimberly Oliver Distribution Adrian Cméìff .;,.....

Michelle Velarde Photos by Tor Freed/The Pride ByTORFREED Pride StaffWriter In a post 9-11 world, travel to the Middle East is not the way most Americans want to spend their vacation. Mention Israel and images of burned out buses, bombed restaurants and Merkava tanks rolling through the West Bank permeate our minds, it is a wonder anyone would go at all. It is a shame because, Israel, a country smaller than New Jersey, has more to see and do than most European destinations. Jerusalem is a great starting point and aside from how utterly beautiful it is one of its striking features is that every building is made of stone. In ancient times, it was believed Jerusalem was in heaven because it was always in the clouds and the long, steep ride from Tel-Aviv helps one tp understand this. Standing I n the old city, the view in any direction is breathtaking. Valleys and hills abound with neighborhoods and forests and it does not take too much to imagine you are back i n biblical times. Jerusalem has so much history and religious significance, it can be almost overwhelming. To avoid this, simply get lost in the old city and wander through the Armenian, Arab, Christian, and Jewish quarters. Take in the smell of aromatic spices and strong Turkish coffee that can be found everywhere. At some point, you will want to see the Wailing Wall, Judaism's third holiest site. It was the retaining wall to the second temple before the Romans burnt it down in A.D. 70. It is fascinating because on top of it lies the Temple Mount and the Al-Aqusa; Mosque, Islam's third holiest site. The Holy Church of the Sepulcher is right down the road; it was built at the spot where Jesus was nailed to the cross. The Brave traveler can also venture out to Yad Vashem, Israel's holocaust museum that is enormous and at times difficult. It's also where all visiting heads of state are brought. Tel-Aviv is completely different from Jerusalem. In this hundred-year-old city, you will feel like you are in Miami. There are modern high rises, fancy restaurants and very chic young people talking on cell phones wherever they go. There is a very long promenade on the beach where TelAviv sits and it is lined with restaurants, bars, and clubs where if you do not look good enough, you do not get in. Jerusalem feels like history and religion, Tel-Aviv screams party, which they do until seven in the a.m. There are tons of art galleries and historical museums. It's a fast paced town and the best way to see it is to just wander around and get lost. After all the history, museums and ancient ruins, it's time to just relax and head out to the port city o f Eilat. Only five miles wide, it sits in the red sea between Egypt and Jordan. Eliat is about beach bars and Vegas style hotels. The desert is right at its doorstep and riding a camel can be an interesting if not smelly adventure. Eilat also offers submarine tours and has an interactive dolphin park. The reefs in the Red Sea are some of the best in the world for diving and the water is warm and inviting with lots of tropical fish. Nightlife, it doesn't matter where you go, is cranking. This is a city of guilty pleasures. Israel doesn't require a visa for Americans and if booked in advance, round trip tickets can be around six hundred dollars. It is not the most popular destination but the exchange rate is good and there is a lot to do.

T U IA CHOICE from p a g e 1 TP • ' O F S A N M ARCOS salsa, ketchup, wine and numerous other staining agents once it leaves for vacation. Stick to black or dark clothing whenever possible. If flying, I advise anyone to avoid checking luggage on a flight unless they have to. A good trick to provide more carry-on room is to wear the bulkiest clothes on the plane. You spare valuable baggage room, and if you wear a large jacket with many pockets, you can stuff them with books, CDs, or more clothes. (Warning: you will have to empty out all contents of your pockets at the security checkpoint. Putting underwear i n your pockets might be embarrassing, but if you have an unusually amusing taste in underwear, go for it.) Know your clothes. Bring your most versatile outfits. Pack clothing that you can be comfortable wearing in hot or cold climates. Always check the weather of your destination. This can save a lot of hassle, but as we all know, weather forecasts can be wrong. Bring along at least one pair of clothes that would accommodate weather opposite of what the forecast says. Most importantly, have fun and be safe. --£AN HUP-- N 277 S. Rancho Santa Fe Road, Sulte S 3 blocks south of 78 -- I MPORTANT !

Unfortunately, that means most people only spend a day there and miss much Of what this exciting island has to offer. Everyone likes a tropical destination and Puerto Rico will not fail in that regard, but it also has a lot of history, a vibrant culture and all the modern amenities that people love. Puerto Rico has lots of mountains iathe center of the Island for hiking, world-class surfing in Rincón and even horseback riding. There are also excellent golf courses for those wanting a more 'Hawaiian' vacation. Whether you want a rugged, adventurous holiday, being a beach bum or clubbing in San Juan, it's all there. San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico, is really two parts. The main city has been built up, is very modern and serves as the banking center of the Caribbean. Here you'llfindtrendy cafés, fine restaurants and trend-setting clubs with some of the most beautiful people in the world. It's easy to take it all in, lounging on the beach, and then go clubbing at night. The old city was revamped in the early 90's to retain its traditional Spanish architecture. Here you'll find old buildings in bright colors and cobblestone streets—remnants of Spanish settlers who tried to make it like home. This is the place to be: most of the tourists don't frequent the bars here and you'll run into some really wonderful locals. At the end of the city is Old Fort Morro, a sprawling park that used to house cannons to protect the Island from invasion. Leaving the city and driving through the countryside is quite interesting, Things stop being so modern and become much more cultural.

It's not unusual to see roosters roaming about or wild yaks in someone's yard. The people are very laid back and the town is quiet, perfect for some rest and relaxation. Puerto Rico also boasts the highest point in the Caribbean, the Arecibo observatory. It's a bit of a drive to get there but the view is breathtaking and y o u can see much of the Caribbean for miles. While you're there, for those that like hiking there's a really interesting hike down into San Cristobal Canyon. it's literally a chasm in the middle of the Island that you can follow to an old quarry with great swimming. The vegetation is lush, and the waterfall at the end of the quarry is not to be missed, Puerto Rico has a few other interesting attractions as well. The Sea of Mayaguez has phosphorescent water. There are tour boats that go out at night and anything that touches the water sets off a natural light show because of all the algae. It's a f U n ride and unlike anything you'll ever see. The Luquillo beaches, a little east of San Juan, are some of the nicest anywhere. Long strips of clean white sand with public bathrooms and cafeterias make it very popular, since Puerto Rico is under the jurisdiction of the U.S., travel i s easy and the currency is the U.S. dollar. You'll find everything inviting: the culture, the people and the food are all top-notch. OMBUDSMAN'S i i f e S S ^ P P i ^ ^ I ff?

The cheap answer is at the same tiijje the most honest: "I can't." In a quaint college town in the south of Germany was where I lived for an entire year. A s sleepy as the town felt most of the time, never have I felt as awake as I did living my life somewhere completely different to what I had known up to that point in my life. I could write about the endless churches and castles I saw during those twelve months, but the memory of the grocery store is what permeates most strongly. I can smell the fresh baked pretzels and the cheese. I remember my walk through the snow, down the bike path, past the yellow phone booth and the geese that would honk at passers by. The grocery store closest to my east-German-esque style living situation was the HL-Markt. This grocery store was unlike any major American grocery store; not SlB OUBlSCtt? only was hot, spicy food sometimes difficult to find, only: three check-out stands and a myriad of sausages, but a number of other things I had to become accustomed to. Take for. instance, when in the German grocery store, or farmer's market, one must not touch, feel or squeeze to test the ripeness of any fruit or vegetable. I found this out the hard way one morning while examining avocados at the market. "Was machen Sie!?!" said an older German frau. I was confused, dropped the avocado in the bin, and walked away a bit perplexed. Germans have a very stern language at times, and the approximate English translation of my encounter would be, "What the hell are you doing!?!" My grandmother, who is originally from Berlin, and currently lives in the Los Angeles area, just as she has for the past forty years, explained to me when she came to visit that Germans do not feel fruits or vegetables at the grocery store. She also explained to me that this was a benefit as she sees it to living in America: testing your produce prior to purchase. Another thing I could never get used to was the idea of standing in line at the store. There is no personal bubble, that space you own wherever you go, like there is here in America, that everyone else is keenly aware of. People breathe on you in line. You feel every exhale of the guy standing behind you on the back of your neck. After much aggravation I adapted. I couldn't change the people standing in the line, but I could change the way I was standing in line. I began placing the basket on the floor between my legs and standing over it sideways. I was happy not to be breathed on, and no one really noticed my change in position. Here, in America at the major market chains, consumers choose from ten different checkout stands at any given time, whether it's 4 a.m. or 12 p.m. If the line is three or more people long a new check stand opens and customers will ask the person next in line to go ahead. It took me a long time to get used to the German system of check stand lines. There was never, in my experience, a time when I was asked to go ahead because I would be the next person to be checked out. Instead, whoever could run, push or shove his or her way through the quickest was the winner. Photo by Sarah Carün/The Pride Cafe's line up the sidewalks in Germany. It took a very long time to get used to this. I thought everyone was just rude. I should have caught on sooner, but didn't really feel comfortable with the idea of bulldozing through shopping carts and baskets just to pay for my items first. A s time passed, after spending too much time in line, there was the revelation that I had been living in the country long enough that I should really attempt to fit in better. On one particular frosty December morning, the line was at least ten people long and there was only one check-out stand open. I saw from the corner of my eye a teenager, Fanta and chocolate in hand, waiting on the side for the new check-out stand to open. I slyly left the second to last spot in line and pretended to examine the chocolates. I watched the woman from the corner o f my eye take her seat at her cash register, and then swooped in with my basket of goods. I felt a little- guilty, like cutting in a line of cars by using the freeway shoulder—not that I would ever do that. I looked around as I placed my items on the conveyor belt to see the faces of my fellow shoppers, but there weren't any angry expressions on the faces of anyone in line. I had successfully made them think I was German. After this turning point, living in my cute college town was different. Instead of pin-pointing all of the similarities, or the differences between Tubingen and my hometown, I started living where I was, and stopped living somewhere in between the two. The shock & awe of a Spanish Bullfight By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter The best part about traveling is the unexpected events that happen to you. I like to refer to these as "blessings in disguise" because these are the moments that will stay with you forever. On my way to Barcelona, Spain I got stuck in Seville. Getting stuck was really me not knowing I had to book a reservation and then finding out the trains were all filled up for the next three days. Seville is one of the best places I found in Europe. The people are extremely warm and friendly; the weather is a perfect 75 degrees; and the streets are clean and safe for walking around at all hours. On one of my walks around the city I came across an advertisement for a bullfight that would be taking place that day. I thought this would be a great opportunity for some cheap entertainment. Well it was definitely cheap, but way beyond entertaining. I had never been to a bullfight before and was so excited to see what one actually is like. m I found out quite soon that yes, the matadors do dress in the traditional costume that is depicted in movies. But one new detail that struck me in the heart was that the bulls are stabbed in the back before they even enter the ring. And to make the fight even less fair; there are about 4 -6 "helpers" out in the ring protecting the matador from the bull. A s I watched the battle from my ringside seat, I was shocked and amazed at the brutality of this popular Spanish sport. After the matador stabs the bull so much that the animal can barely move, he then makes a sort of flourish movement with his arm and finishes the bull o ff by sticking a sword Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/77ie Pride A bull gets led away f rom t he ring a fter being stabbed between the eyes by a victorious matador. the bull's eyes. At this point the whole stadium stands up cheering.. .for what I'm not sure. The "unforgettable" moment that I experienced at this event was when the fifth bull came out and during the socalled "battle", the bull skewered the matador with his horns. This was the most surreal image I have ever witnessed. I saw the bull literally stick his horns into the matador's right thigh and lower stomach...then lift the man entirely o ff the ground. I am not sure I can say that the bull won this fight...as soon as the man was taken away about six men came out and killed the bull. This seems very unfair to the bull. It was rough to watch a man get hurt, but it just seems so wrong to kill the bull if he wins the fight. I tried to find out the next day if the matador had died, but all the newspapers were in Spanish. I do not think I will ever go see another bullfight, but I will never forget the one that I saw. THF, PDTIÌF rKILIE Weputoutevery ��THE PRIDE SPECIAL EDITION What is it like to be an international student at CSUSM? Yoko Suzuki and Emily Ng explain what it is like to be a student so farfrom home By JASON ROBBINS Pride Staff Writer By CLAUDE SAYF Pride Staff Writer Being far from home is quite an experience. Being far from home in another country and not speaking the language can be terrifying. Yoko Suzuki is a 23-year-old senior from Kanagawa, Japan. She started her college career three and a half years ago at San Diego State University's English program. This program was for new students in the United States who needed to learn English quickly in order to begin college. Moving to a new country for school is a very adventurous thing to do. She felt only excitement when she got here. Living in San Marcos, she started at Palomar College getting her general education requirements out of the way. At that time she didn't have a motorized form of transportation, so she bought a bicycle and got around on it instead. Suzuki says that her bike became her best friend for the next year and a half as she rode it everywhere. After completing her general education requirements at Palomar. College she transferred to Cal State San Marcos. Her major is Sociology and she plans on using her degree to help children in need alt around the world. She aspires to work for organizations like UNICEF that help children. Suzuki believes -that because children are the future of the world, they must be cared for and provided with the same kind of education that she feels, so fortunate to have. Yoko appreciates her sociology professors because they have been so kind to her. They never have any quams about staying after class to help her or making extra time for her, she says. That type of concern and care is what she wants to share with others after college. And given the right opportunities, she will. It's not easy being away from her family, who own a sushi restaurant in Japan called Shige Zushi. Shige is her dad's first name and Zushi means sushi. It's a family-run business that her mom, dad, and grandfather work at . Suzuki's older sister is also away from Japan, working as a hairdresser in Sydney, Australia. Yoko had the opprtunity to spend last New Years with her in Australia. They had a wonderful time enjoying the ceremonies andfireworkstogether, she says. For Yoko, the experience of a college education in a far away land made her see how precious her life in Japan really was. She is able to look at her country from the outside in and see the good and the bad that Japan has to offer. When, asked what she thought about being away from her country she answered, "You don't know what you've got until it's gone." • How many ocean waves do you think break between Hong Kong and North America in a day? My estimate is about nine million; plus or minus ten million. While nine million is plenty, do these waves alone serve to propel dreams across the Pacific Ocean? Or does it take something else? In some cases all it takes is a degree from a California university and a messy serving of the English language. These are the incentives that guided the 21 year old, international student, Emily Ng to CSUSM. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Emily left her homeland to finish high school in Canada. Upon graduation, Ng then left Canada for a college she had heard about during a college fair. This college was Cal State University San Marcos. "English is an international language," said Ng in explaining why she chose to attend an American school. Acting congruent with her reasoning; she selected Global Business Management as her major. As her travels and studies reveal, Ng is a truly international student. When Ng is able to ignore the wailing pleas of her text books, she enjoys partying, dancing, and time with her friends. While a lack of confidence once inhibited her personality, Ng says she has established friendly relationships through the International Club. Despite the radness of San Marcos and the new Starbucks in the library, Emily and her friends prefer downtown San Diego for social activities. In comparing San Marcos to her birthplace, Ng said "Hong Kong is more fun." There is no doubt. Sometimes it is difficult to have fun inside the classroom too. Emily understands most simple English words but has trouble with the more complex ones. Fortunately professors have acknowledged her limited English in a positive manner. She says that instructors have exhibited patience and effort in dealing with her situation. When it comes to the more concrete components of our campus, Ng has mixed feelings. "I expected a bigger school." This international student, who essentially traveled thousands of miles to learn English and attend college, had no clue as to how small the CSUSM campus was. She said she expected the community to be more populated and for there to be more sports teams. It is indeed hard to recognize our campus as small without the aid of blue prints or a visit. But it is easy to imagine some of the lumbering difficulties that may subdue even the most spirited of international students. Ms. Ng includes the language barrier, financial issues, and self-reliance on her list. She has a part time job on campus to help nurture her finances and must rely on herself for every other challenge. Yet it is clear that being^away from home has its benefits. "I enjoy being alone sometimes." Ng said there was too much pressure at home. This comes from a working student from Hong Kong up against a language barrier and the doldrums of San Marcos. ' For Emily Ng, waves were not what propelled her dreams across the vast Pacific. It was not several soulenriching, will extracting, ocean sunsets that forced her to reach past the horizon. It was education and English. And it was the resolve to be truly international. Emily's best experience at CSUSM: "Meeting new people." TUesday, March 9,2004 5 Lit S tudies g ets an I nternational p rospective f rom Professor Moukhlis ByTOM PFINGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Salah Moukhlis is clicking through a photo album on his computer of pictures he took the last time he went home to Morocco. Little black-haired nephews, dusty roads and colorful marketplaces fill the screen. "By the way," he says, pausing on a photo of an ornate brick building, "that's the oldest university in the world." The irony is not lost on Moukhlis, whose education has taken him from Morocco to England and Long Island. He teaches literary theory at CSUSM—one of the youngest universities in the world—while in Fes, Morocco, his counterparts have been instructing students since A.D. 859. During his time as an undergraduate in Morocco— and then during later work on his M. Lit in Victorian Studies in England—Moukhlis focused exclusively on British literature. But after having a drink with a colleague in Morocco, where he taught college classes for 12 years, Moukhlis decided that he needed to study literature from "The Maghreb." After awakening to the world of African writing, Moukhlis says he remembers thinking, "Hey, I want to read something about myself, about my people." With that in mind, he began working on his PhD in Comparative Studies at Stony Brook University in New York, with a focus on the Maghreb, "Maghreb" is the Arabic word for "west," but serves as the name for the country of Morocco, situated on the north-west corner of Africa. Maghreb literature, written mostly in Arabic, has been heavily influenced by the years that Morocco spent as a French Protectorate (1912-1956). The diversity Moukhlis has experienced in his education makes for an interesting take on literature: British traditionalism with an African postcolonial twist. While Moukhlis has studied British literature extensively, he makes no apologies for European colonialists. "It's good to see things in perspective," he says. "They literally carved Africa." Moukhlis also notes that British colonial texts played a large part in sparking his interest in Maghreb literature, much of which exists as an answer to colonialism. "When you read what these people have to say about you, all of a sudden you're not a neutral reader," he says. Speaking with an accent that is neither wholly French nor wholly Moroccan, Moukhlis explains that English is his fourth language, preceded by Arabic, French and Moroccan Arabic, a barely-distinguishable Arabic dialect. He is known by his students for that accent, as well as for his quirky style of teaching and his former "addiction" to breath mints. They also know him for his unusual passion for subjects widely regarded as dry and difficult to teach. It's not rare to find Moukhlis energetically teaching the details of Russian Formalism or New Historicism, .pacing the classroom with his coffee cup in hand and drawing pictures on the blackboard. How does he explain his excitement? Turning back to his computer, Moukhlis admits with a guilty smile, "I just love literary theory." �H2LIDAY F2fc HUmMITY If vacationing at the beach isn'tfor you, try one of these alternative breaks and help others at the same time Photo courtesy of Partick Bonz By TOR FREED Pride Staff Writer (from left to right) Melissa Holliday, Brian Reed, and Brock Winstead, students from NC State, work on the roof of a Habitat house. If you are strapped for cash and cannot afford to go to your regular hot spots such as Cancun, Hawaii, or Daytona Beach alternative spring breaks may be an interesting option. You will miss the party vibe but the payoff of alternative spring breaks may be rewarding. Alternative Spring break programs enable students to participate in helping and learning more about the epidemic of homelessness in this area. Students Photo courtesy of Steffan Hacker Becky Sutter and Jamie Smith work on the framing of the Habitat house. '!'Alternative Spring Break programs enable students to participate in helping and learning more about the epidemic homelessness work with organizations such as the YMCA, Habitat for Humanity, and other community based organizations. The goal is to educate students and open minds, while giving them handson experiences toward the issues of homelessness. If San Diego is a little too close to home to be spring break worthy, then you might want to head a little north and spend a week in Santa Cruz and • San Francisco. In these cities, alternative spring breaks offer a closer look and understanding of people with disabilities. Join and meet other fellow Cal State students as they learn the rights and laws affecting disabled of populations, mental-physical-cultural awareness, and a survey of different organiza- tions such as people with cerebral palsy and mental retardation. These may not be your typical spring break ideas however, alternative spring breaks offer something more rewarding. They offer an opportunity to help your local community while educating and experiencing critical issues close to home. If you are looking to do something during spring break with a little more substance than cheap drinks and easy hook-ups then alternative spring breaks may leave your heart singing rather than heart broken.

Spring Break rip-offs By EIJKABEra BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter California Student Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG) released a report citing that students pay on average 62 percent more for travel. The report found that travel companies included hidden, fees along with deceptive marketing practices in their Spring Break travel packages. "Spring Break is supposed to be a chance for students to relax and recuperate. Instead, travel companies are using it as a chance to fleece students," said Merriah Fairchild, CALPIRG higher education advocate. Students are encouraged to research a travel agency before booking a package deal. Also, beware of any company that requires you to sign a contract waiving or limiting your legal rights to file a dispute or receive a refund.

Expires 03/31/04 �TiavdTips w / C hdseaGeags By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer As spring break grows closer many students are getting ready to jet off to exotic locations. But before you pack your bag, here are a few helpful travel tips. Choose your traveling companions wisely. Nothing is worse than taking a trip with someone and hating them at the end of it. Pick people that you know are out to have a good time. If your group is happy and ready to find fun things to do in your new locale, chances are you will be too. Plus, if it's one of those friends that you love to death but who drives you nuts after being around them for a few hours just imagine how you'll feel after a few days. Check the weather and pack for it. You don't want to drag around a bunch if unwanted baggage so pack the essentials and try to leave everything else at home. If you already know most of your itinerary pack by outfit not by piece and try to pick outfits that can go with the same accessories. If you're going somewhere warm, however, you should pack at least one warm outfit because even deserts get cold at night. If you're going somewhere that requires you to be in your bikini or trunks the whole time, work on your tan beforehand to try to prevent burning. You don't want to have to stay in the hotel after the first day because the skin is peeling off your back. Another way t o avoid burning is to pack your sunscreen. One that you might want to try is Bullfrog: it comes as strong as SPF45 and lasts extremely well in water, though it is a little greasy. For those traveling to foreign countries, you can check regional recommendations on vaccinations, food and water-borne illnesses at www.cdc.gov/travel or call toll free 877-FYI-TRIP. It gives you helpful ways to avoid illnesses in any destination. For instance, those of you going to Mexico should bring bottled water even to brush your teeth with and not drink any beverages with ice. Another thing travelers should consider is trip insurance. The best policies cover trip cancellation, trip interruption, baggage and trip delay, accidental medical expenses, in-hospital indemnity, lost or stolen baggage, rental car collision damage waiver and rental car personal accident insurance. Call your insurance company to verify that you have medical coverage overseas. If you have a AAA membership, you may already be covered. If you're taking a road trip make sure you have a fully-inflated spare tire. Bring a flashlight, a cell phone and your A AA card in case you have any problems and end up on the side of the road somewhere. Try to drive during the day and if you do drive at night avoid truck stops and scary neighborhoods. For all those flying to their vacation spot, you can avoid flight delays by flying in the morning, the later the day goes the more air traffic has built up and don't even attempt to fly on a Friday. Try to get a nonstop flight but if you have to take a lay-over try to avoid airports known for bad weather or traffic. Also, when packing for a plane trip make sure to pack electronics, jewelry, documents, medicine or any necessary valuable items in a carry-on bag. If you're traveling with a friend split your luggage between the two bags so if one is lost you still have some clean clothes to change into. Once you get to your destination you're most likely going to need some cash. There are three options: converting all your cash to foreign currency, using traveler's checks or using credit cards. The problem with carrying your cash around the whole trip is that you probably won't get a very good exchange rate and if something happens to it you're^ stuck. With travelers checks you can cash them out as you need throughout your trip and if they end up lost or stolen you can have them replaced. Meanwhile, no one else can use your traveler's checks because they require matching signatures and a photo ID. When cashing traveler's checks or exchanging your cash for foreign currency, try to go to a bank—they usually give the best exchange rate, so you won't be losing some of your hard earned cash during the exchange. Another way to get a good exchange rate is to use your credit card. If you have a card and plan to pay the balance responsibly, use it when you travel overseas to get you a better exchange rate that you'll get almost anywhere. Credit card companies can get better rates than you can, so if you charge your hotel and restaurant bills instead of converting travelers checks and paying cash, it will end up costing you less. Probably the most important piece of travel advice for everyone is, have fun. After all, that is what vacations are all about. L ETTERS F ROM A BROAD Two csusm students write in from overseas about their experience in the United Kingdom If you had the opportunity to change your life would you take it or let, it pass you by? Imagine travelling the world on your weekends, having friends from all over and gaining the experience of a lifetime! You can have all of this just by studying abroad. My name is Stacy Goldstein and I didn't know why I wanted to study abroad at first, I just knew I had to do it. I had no expectations, just the curiosity- of wondering what it would be like to live and attend a university in the UK. Now, after one semester, I have travelled through most of Europe and have friends in Spain, Finland, France, Germany, and Australia and of course in England. I am also involved in the International Society and play for the University of Central Lancashire's Women's Basketball Team. I liked being here so much that I decided to extend my stay for another semester. It definitely wasn't the cold, "rainy weather that kept me here; instead it was the people, the culture, and the opportunity to gain a new set of eyes that allowed me to see America in another light. Living in another country has helped me gain a better perspective on America and the world. Don't get me wrong, I still love America and I miss the beach and eating carne asada burritos, but overall, studying and living in another country is unlike anything else I've ever experienced, and it's something you would have to try for yourself to fully understand. It's so refreshing to wake up every day and be faced with decisions like: do I want to travel to London or Paris today? It's so easy to travel because the transportation system here is so amazing and it makes me forget all about my car at home. The social life is also thrilling and ongoing, sometimes I find myself going out every night: I mean going t o pubs is a part of the British culture and I'm just doing my part to understand it. The going to school part is also great; I like the fact that you are encouraged to call your professors by their first names, and also that we are not given homework or tests! At the university I'm attending, class only meets once a week and your grades are based on two essays. Sometimes it can be difficult to balance school, clubs, sports, travelling and a social life but then again.. .it's all a part of the experience. All I know is that coming here was the best decision of my life and has changed me forever. So, whatever your reasons are for studying abroad, whether it be to travel, pick up a British accent, meet new people or no reason at all; just stop by Global Affairs and look into it, because it could be the best thing you ever did too! Hiya from Preston, UK I found out why European cars have such heavy frames, 'parking spaces" are half on the curb and half on the street; those cobblestone streets don't help either. I have yet to drive on what us Americans would call the 'wrong' side of the road but would like to try. On the other hand, never have I felt so liberated from my car, or walked so much in my life. It feels great. The streets in town are busy with people, unlike America's deserted main streets. It's pleasant to drop into a pastry shop on your way to class or slip into the small shop tucked away down an alley. I think my friend had the best advice: "Be a sponge and absorb everything around you." I feel invigorated being in a different country and participating in other cultures. It's easy to pick out the Brits standing in a queue (line) for the club, they are the ones without a coat on whether it's freezing or raining. In addition to the British culture, I live with two Polish, one German and another American. It's fun to compare our languages, food and other idiosyncrasies. So . ...everyone was right, the food has something to be desired, but when I get desperate there is always Subway, KFC, or McDonalds. Globalization couldn't be more obvious. Starbucks is also a hot spot but I have yet to find one in my university library. In addition to the few familiar restaurants, the entertainment industry is very alive with American films and music. In other words, it's hard to get homesick. I have to be honest, there are a few things I miss - like regular size kitchen appliances, service at restaurants and toilets that flush. The Brits would say, "Yeah, the toilets are dodgy." I never knew it was a luxury. Since the tip is included on the bill the food servers are very inattentive. If you get their attention you have to be ready to order or else you sit around for another twenty minutes. This is something that I need to adapt to, I am usually eating on the go.. Traveling or 'going on holiday' couldn't be easier here. I have already explored London and ventured to Liverpool (home of the Beatles), Manchester (home of the famous football or soccer team), York (you don't know York, c'mon), Edinburgh, Scotland (to see the castle and men in kilts), Conwy castle in Northern Wales, and this weekend, who knows where the train will drop me. If only the U.S. was smaller, I would ride the train over flying any day. On a more serious note, university, or uni to the locals, is structured a lot differently. It only takes three years to earn a bachelor degree because they don't take any general education courses. Your chosen major is 4 much more indepth study; hence, students are more specialized in their field. One of the most intriguing lessons that I have learned thus far is others perspectives of the United States and 'our land of opportunity.' I never appreciated being an American until others brought it to my attention. Don't miss your chance; travel while you are young and don't have as many responsibilities! Open your mind!

Gunderson took 54.5% of the vote to defeat rival Jack Burke, who finished with 42.2%. Gunderson plans to make good on her campaign statement, by utilizing A.S. as the liaison between the student body and university. "We're here to stand up for ourselves," said Gunderson. "We can't let people walk all over us. The student body needs to know that people are standing upforthem. Gunderson pointed toward the transformation A.S. has undergone in becoming incorporation and an independent entity as an important phase in the student body's development. "What we do right now will affect the student body for the rest of the time to come," she said. Gunderson is getting a head start on next semester by scheduling fund-raising over the summer for programming and recreation. She also plans to stick behind childcare developments and supports the new childcare representative position. Polling in order to clearly represent student opinion is another item slated on Gunderson to-do list for next year "I want to give students an idea of what's going on. It's really important that the board members are out there and are friendly with students," Gunderson said.

"Some students are thinking that we are ignoring the problem. We're not It's a dollars and cents issue. It's a $3,000 investment every time we put on a fair," said Career Center Director Sandra L. Punch. "There has been a lack of supporter interest." Donations have been asked for, and employers are charged to take part in the fair to raise more* money. The Career Center has put in a request to hire another full-time counselor to allow for "split duties" in order to provide two fairs during the school year. "Donations have dried up in the last five years," said Punch. Punch urged students to utilize the Career Center (CRA 4201) , which offers 40-50 new job listings a day as an alternative to the fair. "Come in and use the resources on hand," she said. "We encourage students to come in early, to take part in the workshops and use the resource services. We can only do so much. They have to walk in the door." Career Center representatives have been stationed in front of the Dome on Tuesday or Wednesdayfrom11:30a.m. to 1 p.m. to increase student accessibility. The center is open from 8:30a.m. to 12p.m., Mon-Thurs. and 9a.m. to 12p.m. Fri. Call 7504900 for more information.

While these two letters were more than satisfactory, asthey represented student views, they were the only two received during the Associated Students elections, while students were protesting the variety of classes being offered next Fall, and after an editorial by Tony Barton, Editor-in-Chief of The Pride openly attacked Affirmative Action in the last issue of The Pride, among other things. Affirmative Action promotes diversity, which is a main point of Cal State San Marcos' mission statement. The fact that an editorial blatantly down-talking a pillar upon which campus diversity has been founded did not provoke a response is quite alarming. Last Fall, The Pride received numerous letters over the expanse of the semester on the chalking of the student parking lot by the Greek organizations during Rush week. This semester, chalk was again used to promote the week, yet not one letter was received by The Pride. The Pride is designed to be the voice of the students. It maintains a policy of printing all letters the editor it receives that do not violate the boundaries of good taste. Members of the Cal State San Marcos faculty and staff read The Pride. It is an open forum for students to have their opinions heard by them and by others of the student body. If you have an opinion, a misgiving or whatnot, The Pride will print your opinion in letter to the editor form. The Pride has a mailbox in student activities, e-mail address listed on this page and an office in ACD 324.

Many of the people who are critical of The Pride have no idea how The Pride operates, and what goes into the creation of The Pride.

They generally receive no credit or monetary compensation, other than in individual circumstances. A couple of staff writers have worked out independent study credit. At this point, neither myself or Backlund are receiving credit for a work on The Pride. Backlund and myself are, however, receiving stipends. $1,000 goes to me, and $500plus a cut of ad sales goes to Backlund. It's nice to have a form of compensation.

There is also a standard of quality coverage and design that I have for the 9KL ONY I\RTON Pride. At this point in time, I am not satisfied, based on my idea of this student newspaper's purposes. The Pride needs to improve dramatically. Yet, despite thisfact, I cannot put more hours in than I currently am (let's see, I do recall spending too straight 12 hour days in the newspaper office, over-satisfying the projected number of hours I was told it would take per week by at least 9 hours. And that was only Mon. and Tues.). This operation needs to change. Next semester, we need a journalism class on campus. We need training for staff writers and editors to enable the staff to put out a periodical with more comprehensive coverage, better deadlines, and improved style. This school deservers it.

I asked, "when are you going to leave me alone?" The dog just stared me down. I asked this Black Eyed Dog,with his question-mark tail, "aren't there leash laws in this town?" His black eyes held me like an otter in Prince William Sound, and without a blink, he sprayed my shoe yellow.

Think Pee Shy, one of the most unique bands around. Pee Shy has an appetizing mix of guitars, bass, drums, but throw in tunes from accordians and clarinet. Jenny Juristo has an amazingly sweet voice, and with it sings about alien children and LSD-laced mayonaise. Between the songs are intellectually moving pieces of poetry. This group is definatly going places. I f anything, just go listen to "Jason" or "Little Dudes." You won't regret it. D rill D rill This is one chick that you definatly don't want to mess with. Lucia Cifarelli, vocalist, has one demented, warped mind. Her songs are depressing and are about teasing, tempting, refusing, and amusing. Wild, dark beats put you in the slums of any city. Dan Harnett (guitarist) met Cifarelli through a tiny classified ad in the Villiage Voice, i n New York. They jammed together for months, developing a unique style that will push your m ind t 6 a T new level of thinking. The best song on the CD is "Go To Hell." The singer just goes off on a guy who likes her. Fear this band, because they want to drill a hole into your soul. L ustre " Lustre" They call their music "muscle pop." I feel that it's an unoriginal mesh of almost every trendy alternative band on the radio; Musically, they're good, but they really need someone new to step i n and write songs for them. They have the potential to stand out, but lack creativity.

The seminars will be sponsored by the International Institute Entrepeneurs. The first class will be an introduction to home base business. It will consist of three segments, each an hour long. The first segment will define home base businesses. The second will go over types including network, tax preparation, desk top publishing, and insurance. Specific businesses covered will be "Interactive Distribution" and "Horizon Quest." The third hour will inform on how to get started. "(Home base businesses are) the consept that we called the cottage industry 20 years ago," said Vern *Cook,who will be teaching the segment on Interactive Distribution. Those interested will then have the opportunity to follow up with employees of the different businesses off campus. Cook stressed the importance of having a secondary income as the purpose behind the seminars. "There's no job security these days. 20 years ago, you could plan on staying with one company for 10 years. Students graduating these days may work 10 jobs in 10 years," said Cook. "Having a secondary form of income to fall back on is very important." In addition to utilizing a secondary income as a safety net, Cook suggested that they may be used to supplement college funds for children, and creating a savings. The target start date for the seminars is September 21. The seminars are not directly linked to the University. The University Jias agreed to allot classroom space to the International Institute for Entrepeneurs in order to provide this service to the students and community. H ie seminars are not reserved to Cal State San Marcos students, but are open to all interested individuals. sn it comes to protecting your country, there are T he U. S.

You can meet John and laugh with him (if he's not on tour) working at the Aztec Shop or doing what he does best, and has been doing since age four, drumming. John Harris was born and raised in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and he was drumming on the furniture at a young age. His father, walking through a department store with him at Christmas Time* failed to notice young John hook his finger through a drum, in a pyramid of 29, and when they all came tumblinag down his Dad had to buy all of them. With a twenty-nine drum start he gave his first drum recital at age nine. He continued playing at school until he reached high school and then football and working after school took over. He resumed his music career at the University of Bridgeport, but quit to go on the road where he says, played a lot, learned a lot, and enjoyed it a lot." In 1959 he was drafted into the Army and served three years— most of the time playing in a band that traveled all over Germany. When the tour was over he went to New York and toured with the Horace Silver Quintet. He has played with, and been influenced by, some of the Jazz Greats such as: Carmen MaCrae, Phineas Newborn, Seahawk w/Bob Boss, Marshall Hawkens, Kamal Kenyatta, and many others. At the present time he plays with the Jimmy & Jeannie Cheatham's— John Harris, who works in the CSUSM bookstore, has drummed for bands such as theHorace Silver Quintet. Sweet Baby Blues Band. In 1972, on one of his many tours he fell in love with California and settled in Vista, a nice place halfway between the music scene in Los Angeles and the music places in San Diego. Since both cities have an active Music audience, who enjoy good jazz, he has had his share of the work, which he calls fun. "I get to work for the fun of it and get paid too," he said with a pleasing laugh, "and the Aztec Shops have been very considerate and generous in allowing me to take time to tour." I listened to John's subtle but distinctive "anchoring" of the Sweet Baby Blues Band's renditions of Basket Full of Blues; Luv In The Afternoon; and BackToThe Neighbor Hood. The laugh, the love, and the longing to communicate to others his joy of life through his music becomes very apparent in these three CD's. These CD's are available for the listening pleasure of the CSUSM community in the Visual and Audio Center on the 4th floor. There are songs for all moods. If you need a lift from a broken romance try, "Rock Me In Your Arms Tonight." Feelhappy try, 'Take The Wrinkles Out of Your Birthday Suit." Need a little dancing try, "Don't Cha Boogie With Your Black Drawers Off." And Photo by Trish Nagy/ Staff Photographer if you want to study for finals—and blunt the misery—try all of the songs. The Sweet Baby Blues Band members not only play—they also teach at many of their "gigs." Passing on to younger musicians some of the musical knowledge that has been passed onto them by the Musical legends they have played with and learned from. John considers teaching both a duty and a pleasure. 'Teaching others to play is as much fun as playing," he said. And ended with the way he began—a pleasing pleasurable laugh. �Gut the Cholesterol?

Segall Vol VIII No. 27/Tuesday, May 1,2001 1 Candidate Forum Held By AMY BOLASKI Pride Staff Writer1 An open forum, held Thursday and Monday, gave candidates in the ASI elections a chance to introduce themselves and field questions from students about campus issues and ASI's role and involvement in student life. One of the topics addressed was the ASI budget and the amount of money appropriated to help subsidize the cost of the Early Learning Center (ELC). Incumbent president Dean Manship said the ELC was one of the ASI's biggest costs* and addressed questions posed about the lack of funding for student clubs. "It's a difficult situation/' Manship said. "[The ASI] is a finalist for a $250,000 grant, and if we get it, we won't have to subsidize the ELC at all. If we don't get.it, we'll have to move money out of the ELC and the first place it will go is to student clubs and groups." Manship said the ASI budget is "a confusing document, and it's a difficult situation. Our only option to keep everyone happy is to continue looking for grants." Several of the candidates were asked what they could do to get students involved, and why they thought apathy was a problem on campus. Dustin Naylor, running for Undergraduate Representative, said, "Students aren't aware of what's available to them, what programs are available." Naylor mentioned that ASI-sponsored events are always well-publicized, "which is always a goal for us [ASI]"and that he'd "like to support the school more, and get in touch with the school by meeting new people." "ASI must go to great lengths to inform students," said Josh Associated Students Inc. candidates, Vinnie Williams, Tammy Rodriguez, Dustin Naylor, Artie Patel, Josh Heers and Dean Manship, sat outside of the Dome to answer student questions on Thursday, April 26. A secondforum was held on Monday, April 30. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) Heers, the unopposed candidate for Vice President of Finance. Vinnie Williams, who is running for Executive Vice President, said, "Students don't know what ASI is doing and they don't care, but I know everyone on this campus has; an opinion." Naylor also brought up the lack of student housing on campus, which he sees as one of the reasons for lack of student involvement. Williarrfls stressed the importance of getting out there and "really getting die message across to students, even if we have to be outlandish." Tammy Rodriguez, the unopposed candidate for Corporate Secretary, said she's "really f rying to institute a monthly newsletter to inform students " "It's not going to happen overnight," said Artie Patel, who is running for the position of College of Arts and Science Representative. "Hopefully, we'll see a lot of improvement next year." The candidates were asked to describe, in one word, the stance ASI needs to take to improve student involvement and campus life. Williams said the ASI needed to be "loud." Naylor said ASI should be "comfortable." Patel used the word "accessible," and Rodriguez said it should be "committed." "We need to envision where this organization is going to go in the future," said Manship. "It's not just a stop and go, but something we really need to carry o n" The ASI elections will be held May 1-2 from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. oh Founders Plaza.

By KEVIN FRISK Pride Staff Writer Bargaining Process Begins for Faculty »Article cont. from page 1 resolution to the contract bargaining." Diehr commented that, historically and considering the last contract negotiations, this process will not be without conflict. Ken Swisher commented that CSU administration "sincerely hopes to arrive at a quick and orderly renewal of the contract by June 30." In the event the union and CSU administration teams do not come to agreement on a contract by June 30, there could possibly be a declaration of impasse; meaning that both sides declare no progress has been made. After a declaration of impasse, mediation begins with a state representative from the Public Employees Relations Board to mediate the bargaining process. At this point, a period of "fact finding" begins with a team of three individuals, one from the CFA team, one from the CSU administration team, and one from a neutral party by mutual agreement. This factfinding team then issues a recommendation to the two parties who use the report to come to an agreement. "If necessary, such a process would hopefully be completed by the end of summer or surely by the end of September," said Diehr. "If this process doesn't work," he continued, "then job actions such as letter writing or e-mailing campaigns or teachins would begin." CFA hopes that these actions will get the attention of the state government who would then put pressure on both parties to come to an agreement. "It's very early in the process, and mostly what's happening at these early meetings is agreeing on the itinerary," said S S i H ^L '/tl/l //« >> # /w/iiu n> *> / </ 1 Swisher. Swisher continued by saying that, "This process is very normal. This year's contract negotiations are not extraordinary in any way."

Of course this costs the administration less," continued Diehr, "but adjuncts suffer because they have no employment assurance! Students also suffer in terms of quality of their education." Swisher explained that the CSU system administration had a very different view on the adjunct policy. "Our main use of adjuncts is to ensure our ability to adapt to a changing student — . X1 _ Weekly Web Site J. body. We want to be able to respond to increases pf students in particular classes, as well as situations where there are decreases in enrollment. Having adjuncts at our disposal allows us to be more flexible." Swisher also explained that, since the economy has improved, the CSU system is greatly increasing its level of adjuncts. "This was something we couldn't afford to do when the economy was bad," said Swisher. In reference to the quality of teaching provided by adjuncts, Swisher explained that, "It is (the administration's) view that adjuncts have the ability of bringing a new, fresh perspective into the classroom. For that reason, we think adjuncts are beneficial for students." Swisher said that the administration's main concern about the adjunct policy focused on FERP, the Faculty Early Retirement Plan. FERP allows faculty to teach part-time for half-pay while receiving about two-thirds of their retirement money. Swisher said that this necessitates the hire of "at least two additional professors to take their place, and that (FERP) is a program that administrators wish to make efficiency changes to." Diehr summarized the CFA's intentions for the bargaining process in renewing their contract saying, "Overall, we will be trying to reduce the rising student/ faculty ratio as well as the ratio of students to tenure track faculty, We'll be asking for more tenure track faculty and less adjunct positions. We want to encourage the administration to bargain in better faith and to reach early tentative agreements that can serve to expedite this bargaining process." By JAFO_WAC for The Pride Many traditionally printed newspapers have also developed online versions. This combination of printed and online edition, when done well, increases the newspaper's circulation, advertising and provides a broader range of services to readers. For example, the San Diego Union Tribune has an online edition that is found at http:// www.signonsandiego.com, and not too surprisingly, The Washington Post's online edition can be found at http://www.wasWngt9npost.com. The student newspaper at SDSU is The Daily Aztec, and it can be found at http://www.dailyaztec.com. The Pride also has an online edition, which can be found at http:// www.csusmpride.com. Online editions generally do not mimic their printed counterparts. Not all articles and advertisements make it into the online edition. The Pride's online edition is no different; not all articles are found on The Pride's online version, such as last week's web site review, and there is very little advertising on the site. Other online editions have features that make it worthwhile to visit the sites. Some features may be the newspaper's outstanding reputation, and viewing them online allows them to be globally accessible. For local papers, online displays of information such as traffic, weather and movie times provide incentives for readers to visit the web site. These features make online edition work. The Pride Online fails in these regards. Also, online editions often include features that allow for reader feedback that may not be found in printed versions, such as the online surveys found on The Pride site. Online surveys seem to be a standard component of newspapers and magazines web sites. Online surveys, however, are worthless from a statistical point-of-view as there is no way to tell how the people who take the surveys are distributed in the general population; and accordingly, the results are often skewed. One of the most useful features that can be incorporated into online newspaper editions is an archive of past issues. Archived issues of The Pride are not available on the web site. The site also has a "search" button, but it is a broken link, and the "contact" and "about us" links also do not work. None of the other online editions of newspapers I mentioned before feature non-functioning hyperlinks. The "LTWR 316/COMM 316" link works; however, I do not understand why it is included in the online edition of the paper, since the link is only for students in that class and not for general readers. The basic design of http:// www.csusmpride.com is logical and follows the standard formula for most web sites. The San Diego Union Tribune uses a similar formula. Basically, both sites consist of links on the right and left hand side of the page and a main story down the center. The Pride Online is easy to use, at least the functional parts of it, mostly because there is so little information on the web site. But their online edition also commits the faux pas of using the same underlined font and color for things that are both links and non-links. does not compose a useful a rnplimait to the printed edition because there is absolutely no reason to visit t te web site unless you don't pick up a printed version. �Local News Protest at the Border Free Trade Area of the Americas By ZACHARY PUGH Pride Staff Writer Protestors and activists marched through the streets of Southern California and into Mexico on Saturday, April 21. The rally began at Larson Field in San Diego where protestors began their march in hopes to stop the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), a proposed expansion of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). FTAA would "integrate the economies of the Western Hemisphere into a single free trade arrangement," according to the official FTAA web site (http:// www.alca-ftaa.org), and "barriers to trade and investment will be progressively eliminated." Proponents of the FTAA, such as the Stop the FTAA Coalition, however, argue that, "the goal of the FTAA is to impose the failed NAFTA model of increased privatization and deregulation hemisphere-wide. Imposition of these rules would empower corporations to constrain governments from setting standards for public health and safety ... and enhance corporate control at the expense of citizens throughout the America's. FTAA would deepen the negative effects of NAFTA that we've seen in Canada, Mexico and the U.S." Guest speakers for the rally included Medea Benjamin, a political activist and U.S. senate candidate, and Tom Morello, a guitarist for Rage Against the Machine. "We are part of a movement that is not just around the FTAA, but stopping the whole corporate globalization agenda," said Benjamin, co-director of the San Francisco based human rights organization, Global Exchange. Morello told the crowd, "After looking at the FTAA's predecessor, NAFTA, it only makes sense to oppose it. NAFTA was a failure and destroyed the lives of millions. More people live in poverty today thanks to NAFTA, more people are landless and homeless thanks to NAFTA, and more people are working in sweatshops, are uninsured and are unemployed thanks to NAFTA." Although he did not attend this protest, student Ricardo Favela, president of the CSUSM chapter of MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) said he felt very strongly for the resistance against the FTAA. When asked about his personal opinions on the resistance to FTAA, Ricardo said that he was "in agreement with it" and that that we need "to try to internationalize the struggle and take a stand across the borders." T he Environmental C lub Hosts Beach Clean U p By NATHAN FIELDS Pride Feature Editor Despite gray skies and intermittent drizzle, CSUSM's Environmental Club pulled together a group of environmentally concerned citizens in its Saturday, April 28 beach clean up. Over twenty individuals, including students from Cal State San Marcos, Palomar College, North County high schools, local citizens and their children, arrived at South Carlsbad State Beach to join in a 9 a.m. effort to collect garbage and support the club's efforts to raise environmental awareness. Pleased by the turnout, Club President Alicia Saunders explained that this was the club's first independent activity in two years. "I contacted everyone I possibly could and encouraged them to come out and help " said Saunders, a liberal studies and Spanish major and long-time volunteer with f the Surfrider Foundation. The club's previous president, Robert Nanninga, who - ran for Encinitas City Council with the Green Party last year, encouraged the re-chartering of the club after leaving the university two years ago. "The guiding psychology of the club is to encourage people to care for and feel a connectedness and commitment to the environment," said Environmental Club Treasurer Kai Palenscar.

Kelly Comte, a Palomar College student, explained that she and her friends came to the event partially because they were offered extra credit in their Biology 100 class. "It's only ten points, so we mostly came because we wanted to help out and be at the beach." The club was successful in procuring donations of t-shirts, calendars and surfing videos from various surf companies that were used in a voluntary drawing. "We're using the money from the drawing to create a club banner to display on campus," said Amanda Wolfe, the club's vice president. "The rest of the money will be donated to the Surfrider Foundation."

An ensemble of college instructors, they performed free of charge at Escondido's California Center for the Arts, on April 23, at an auditorium filled almost to capacity. A self-described "performance a rt" trio, Drought Buoy is comprised of bass player Gunnar Biggs, poet Brandon Cesmat and dancer Terry Sprague. -What makes Drought Buoy performances so unique is that they are never performed quite the same way. Cesmat described it as a "passion for making something that is new every time." The impromptu part of the performance also adds a lot of creativity. Attendants were asked by student helpers to think of a random word, which was written down on paper and put in a box. During the performance, the group took the box, sprawled out the papers around the stage and selected a few at random. The group did an impromptu, freestyle on the word "flirting," about a couple that is flirting and waiting for their baby to fall asleep. Throughout much of the 45-minute performance, Cesmat talked or sang through song, Biggs coordinated the music, and Sprague performed interpretive dance. The songs that the group performed ranged from somber to funny to lively. Biggs played a surf-like melody on his bass for the song "California Town" while Cesmat spoke about the surrounding cities of Valley Center, Escondido and Vista. The song "Body Engineering" was about the design of body parts, which Sprague interpreted in a playful Wes Craven Visits CSU Campus: Discussion at Cal State Fullerton From there Craven went on to make "The Hills Have Eyes, followed by "A Nightmare on Elm Street," which has produced six sequels.

Cesmat spoke about how the legs and hips were designed "by gravity, or shall I say, a protest thereof." During the song "River Murmurs," the background changed to blue, reflecting a water-like setting. The silhouettes of the group were illuminated in an interesting way, with shadows of Sprague dancing and Biggs moving his fingers along the bass. The song, "Jitters/' was a crowd-pleaser and was written from the perspective of a person who has consumed massive amounts of coffee. Dancing in pseudo-African style, Sprague conveyed the feeling of someone who has caffeine jitters while Biggs kept increasing the tempo. "My favorite part was a song called 'Jitters,' the dance resembled the jitters," said CSUSM student John Wiskowsky. When asked about the whole performance, he said, "it was definite- Drought Buoy members (L-R) Gunnar Biggs, Terry Sprague and Brandon Cesmat.

"Elated confusion" was how Cesmat described the reaction that ihost people have to their performances. He added, "People like it and have difficulty explaining to their friends and family what they've just seen." Future Drought Buoy performances will take place at Dizzy's and the Berkeley Watershed Festival. Salsa Fresca: A CSUSM Student Recipe * I ts Fresh and I Made It Myself > By DANIEL HUEY Pride Staff Writer Guests come to our homes for numbers of reasons: to talk, to watch sports on TV, and to share 'meals. Be prepared to entertain with this simple, easy to prepare and delicious Salsa Fresca. Be sure to make plenty because this delicious stuff doesn't last long once the guests have tasted a sample. Preparation time is 10 minutes with a food processor or 20 minutes if done by hand. Ingredients: 10 roma or other variety of tomatoes 1 nice onion — red; white or yellow 1 bunch of green onions 5 firm, crisp, robust jalapeno chilies — never use canned chilies 1 bunch of cilantro Salt—I prefer margarita salt but any kind will do 2 juicy limes or ljuicy lemon White vinegar Okay, lets get cooking. Rinse the chilies, tomatoes, green onion and cilantro. I like using "Fit" to remove the wax that is used on these types of vegetables. First, dice the tomatoes and place in serving bowl, a large one is necessary. Next, mince half the onion and chop the green onion and place in the serving bowl. Split the jalapeno chilies in half and remove the seeds and the white part that holds the seeds. If you like your salsa very spicy (nuclear), leave the seeds and white part in a couple of the chilies. Mince the chilies and a good amount of the cilantro and place them in the serving bowl. With a wooden or plastic spoon, mix all the ingredients — "salsify" the salsa. A fter the salsa is mixed, squeeze on the lime or lemon juice, lime juice is preferred, and add about three tablespoons of the white vinegar—a good splash—and add salt to taste, then mix a little more. If you have the time, give the ingredients a half an hour rest in the refrigerator, this will allow the distinct flavors to meld together. Serve Salsa Fresca with tortilla chips as a finger food or as a condiment with tacos, eggs or fish. For a different flavor, try substituting some diced mango for part of the tomatoes (mango salsa is a delightful condiment for chicken and fish). Now when guests arrive they will ask, "Did you make any of your famous salsa? " Or they may ask, "How did you make this delicious salsa?" Shhhhhhh, it's a secret. Crocodile D undee in L os Angeles By TIM FARMER Pride Staff Writer Sequels tend to rely on their forerunning movies to captivate the audience. Although "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" is no exception, it is as funny and as "good as the past Dundee movies. Paul Hogan again stars as Mick "Crocodile" Dundee, a tour guide from the Australian outback. Mick's longtime girlfriend, Sue Charlton, is still played by Linda Kozlowski after 13 years since the last Crocodile Dundee movie. In this sequel, Dundee and Sue have a child together but are not married. Mick can hardly tell Sue, "I love you," and the couple is rarely seen together which makes their relationship seem a bit unbelievable. Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski star in the third Crocodile Dundee film. ' (Courtesy Photo/www. imdb. com) Shortly into the film, the Dundee family travels to Los Angeles because Sue takes over a press position. She soon realizes that the man whose position she takes over was researching a movie production studio before he died. While Sue takes over his research, Mick takes a job as an animal caretaker, snoops around Los Angeles and finds some strange practices taking place. Like the other movies before, Mick always seems to find a way to use his outback skills to his advantage in fighting and capturing the "bad guys." Although this movie was hilarious, it was dependent on the ignorance of Mick living the city life and captivating everyone, including his son's teacher who has a crush on him. The movie *also had some spoofs to keep it interesting such as the Dundees driving an Isuzu Outback (in real life Paul Hogan endorses the Isuzu vehicle). In order to enjoy a movie like this, you need to let go of reason and thought.. "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" is funny and entertaining, and that's the aim of this film. And you never know, you might walk around saying, "G'day mate" to everyone f rom now on. This film is rated PG by the MPAA for language. �Student Competes in Ironman Competition (Left) Brian Underhill during the biking competition. (Above) At the end of the race.

We all get along and our different personalities make it a unique experience," says long-distance runner Cara Rumble. "I can't wait for the field house to be open and for more sports on campus. In comparison with Concordia University, Cal State San Marcos is mostly a commuter school, nevertheless, I still like it the way it is." Rumble, a psychology major, transferred to Cal State San Marcos from Concordia University last fall. She plans to be a high school counselor. She does not work at the moment, "It is hard enough right now with a full-time load and running," says Rumble. Her expectations for this track season are to go to the nationals and become an AllAmerican. "All I have to do is to work hard*" says Rumble, "on April 20 I will be running my first 10K in which I need to get at least a 38:45 to qualify for nationals and then a minute less to become an All-American," said Rumble. She also runs two hours every day. Rumble, who hopes to compete in the triathlon, adds, "It is nice to be at home and have Steve Scott for a coach." She believes she can accomplish her goals and thanks Coach Steve Scott for being there for her, "Coach really helps me. He is someone I can approach, and I am thankful for his emotional support." Rumble began running her freshman year in high school. Before she ran, she was a swimmer, which she says, "was very helpful for running." Surf and Ski in the J iame Day By TIM FARMER Pride Staff Writer With the ski season coming to an end, the options for ski and snowboard locations are also lessening. As of April 27, Bear Mountain, Snow Summit and Snow Valley are all closed for the season. Locally, Mountain High is the only remaining resort still in operation for skiing and snowboarding. They expect to be open at least through May 6, so time is running out. They have a 12-24" base and have spring conditions. The runs are pretty thin with snow, but individuals can still ride them. Mammoth, however, doesn't appear to be closing any time soon. Although they have spring conditions, they have a 5-7 foot snow base and just about every run is open. The trip can be rewarding if you are craving to get that last trip in before the season is over, and the roads are completely clear, so it won't take you forever to get through the snow. As for the surf conditions, the water isn't exactly warm yet. The terfiperatures have been ranging from 57-61 degrees, and the wave conditions have been fair.at best, but don't let that stop the summer surf urge from creeping into your blood a little early. The waves are still fun if you have a longboard, but they can be a bit frustrating if you are short boarding it. Get the M BA that keeps ori giving!

By ROLAND ARIAS JR. Pride Staff Writer Putting papers off until the last minute is something of a standard for students in college. Staying up until three in the morning, scrambling for additional sources, and finally printing an essay 15 minutes before class is nothing new to the average student. Many students can say that they are guilty of procrastination. But when an academic paper's length is the concern, a common tactic used is adjusting the fonts and margins. Throughout my academic life, professors have always told me to use a "standard font" and one-inch margins on all papers. As all of my papers have always been in Times New Roman, I find it disturbing that other people in my class would submit papers in the ever popular font, Courier New, that would magically increase the size of their papers by at least two pages. While some professors want students to type in Courier New for certain classes, most professors state that they want papers submitted in standard font normally in the size of 10 or 12. In most academic writing, professors request and average of five pages for a regular paper. While five pages is not a lot to ask for, many students will take the short cut of Courier New. Even when looking at a paper that is typed in Courier New compared to a paper typed in Times New Roman, there are glaring differences in the size and appearance of the text. For students who turn in their papers iri standard fonts, it can be disturbing to know that other students in their class submitted papers in a larger font, which is essentially less writing. While using Courier New and other fonts are popular methods of increasing paper length, another is adjusting the margins. As the. standard for academic papers is one inch, changing the margins even slightly increases the white space in a paper. Even as minuscule as changing a oneinch margin to 1.1 seems to work wonders when typing a paper 20 minutes before it is due. Changing the margins of a paper may increase the paper length, but just like changing the font size, it takes away from more intellectual writing that could have been in the paper instead. Given these tactics and other ways of trying to make a paper longer without actually typing more text and ideas, one must consider if using these shortcuts are worth the effort. The tradeoff for using these methods is including more analysis and more writing that could only better a student's paper. The content of writing, not filling white space on an essay, should be the concern in academic writing. Thoughts from the Cynic's Corner Compiled By : M .

De acuerdo un cuestionarios Algunos estudiantes han distribuido a un total de treinta optado por usar otros metodos para adquirir sus libros mas baratos, por ejemplo se los venden, prestan e intercambian entre ellos. El 45% de los estudiantes afirmaron que debido al poco reembolso que la libreria paga por los libros, los estudiantes obtan por no venderlos. Es por eso que; no es una sorpresa encontrar tan pequeiio porcentaje de los estudiantes, 21%, que si venden sus libros a la libreria. Cuando se les pregunto a los estudiantes que cual era la mejor alternativa para resolver este problema, ef 23% de ellos dijeron que deberia de haber una protesta entre los estudiantes para corregir esta injusticia de los precios altos. Otras soluciones son; vender los libros a otros estudiantes o aun mejor, comprarlos en otros lugares donde el precio sea mas bajo. Al preguntarle a la libreria sobre su opini6n, se negaron a dar permiso para que esta informacion fuese publicada. Para continuar la investigation relacionada con la libreria, se busco datos en la fundacion y se nos informo que la unica informacion que se pudiera dar seria generalizada y no espetificamente a esta universidad. Los estudiantes son afectados por los altos precios de la libreria y muchos estudiantes expresan su disgusto por los precios altos. Al mismo tiempo, los estudiantes tienen una esperanza de que la libreria cambie su politica de compra y venta de libros haciendola mas al alcance de los estudiantes. Esto no solo ayudaria a los estudiantes si no tambien a la HAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO libreria porque atraeria mas clientes e hiciera mas ganancias. La libreria de esta universidad deberia de tener una politica mas abierta y dar a conocer a los estudiantes sobre esta. La censura de su politica hace que los estudiantes consideren la compra y venta de libros como injusto. Tambien hace que los estudiantes se pregunten porque la libreria no da a conocer su politica. Si es que la libreria esta haciendo algo bueno para los estudiantes, entonces porque no dar a conocer esa informacion que podria cambiar la opinion de los estudiantes sobre la libreria. Al hacer esto, la libreria ayudaria a los estudiantes a formular una mejor opinion basada en la realidad de los hechos.

Tim Ton God Bless You! �College Changes You: Senior Experiences on Spring Break By JEREMY ZAGARELLA f or The Pride College changes you. I had always been told it but never believed it until recently. Being a senior at CSUSM, and with my graduation quickly approaching, I have recently been reflecting on some of the more important things that I have learned during my short time of study. As Spring Break approached I like everyone else I know was imagining myself lounging around somewhere—anywhere—waiting for the next hour to pass and trying to think of anything but school. While I was getting used to the idea of just laying around the house for a week-due to my low funds—I received a call that some could only dream of. The phone rang; I picked it up. It was an old friend of my brother's whom I hadn't talked to in years. What Dave proceeded to ask floored me. After the expected small talk, he commenced to ask me if I would be interested in going on a trip with him (expenses paid) during my Spring Break. "Where to?" I asked. "How does South America strike you?" "South America!" In less than 24 hours from that phone call, I was on an American Airlines 747 on my way to Chile thinking this is the stuff movies are made of. The scoop was that Dave was taking a whirlwind trip to a remote tribe in the mountains of southern Chile in order to drop off needed medical supplies for a humanitarian organization. Surreal is the only expression to describe my feelings of disbelief. Three days into the trip, Dave and I found ourselves the guests at a cultural ceremony of the tribe that we were assisting. I was better prepared for what was to come than Dave. Dave had grown up in a very ethnocentric home where he had seen very little of other cultures. He differed from me in that he saw the South American tribe we were with as ^others" instead of members of a unique and varied culture with its own history and heritage. For years I have been involved in varying ethnic/ cultural activities at CSUSM including helping to organize Pow-Wows with the Native American Club, Aztec dancing festivals, and even some native African cultural displays that took place on the campus. The respect and knowledge of diverse cultures that I have gained through this experience could never have been received at another institution. During that Wednesday morning, I saw the difference in Dave, who did not have the privi- lege of a CSUSM education. As we sat on the far side of a natural amphitheater in which the ceremony was* to be held, the sun was just coming up and the condensation could be seen emanating from hundreds of mouths in the gray morning light. The amphitheater stretched about the course of a football field, with a small hill at the base acting as a backdrop for both sound and light. As the ceremony began, we gazed intently. I was getting a chance so few would ever get. About 100 women came out dancing a soft and gentle dance while holding young babies in their arms. The women wore no coverings at all and neither did the infants they held. At this instant I noticed a distinct difference between Dave and I—it would be one of many through out the ceremony. As the women danced holding the babies, Dave got a bitflushedin the face and started to laugh. I asked Dave what was wrong, and he began to make fun of the women's nudity. Dave was unable to look beyond his Westerri-American, social-economic, culturally constructed taboos to see the beauty of the women's dance. Dave's insensitivity only mounted as the ceremony moved on. The women would dance in a vague circle as the onfookers sang a gentle melody. One by one the women began to move toward a man tied to a horizontal log at the far end of the amphitheater. I hadn't noticed the man before the dance moved his direction in a lovely beat. Dave finally turned to me and suggested that he had seen enough. I could tell he was disturbed by the natives' comfort with being seen nude on stage. I mentioned that his problem was that he was seeing these people through his own culture. If I learned one thing in my two years of Study, it is the foolishness of judging any cultural practice by my own culturally produced taboos. I encouraged Dave to stay but he insisted on leaving. Knowing I would be a fool to leave, I stayed. It is impossible to explain the way I felt at that moment, and sometimes it all feels like a dream. As theflrstrwomenmoved toward the man on the log, she straddled the man and began to have sex with him while still holding the infant in her arms. The act signified an open social outlook on sex and rebirth that, while it probably would have shocked a more uneducated mind, was refreshing to me. There was no shame for these women as, one by one, they all commenced to straddle the man on the log and have sex. I was reminded of one of my professors who had just weeks ago lectured on different cultural constructs as it related to sex. In his lecture he had mentioned how one culture could not judge another's practice, as all of our taboos are constructed by our social and cultural concepts. I noticed the singing in the crowd got louder as the first woman began to dance more and more enthusiastically lifting the infant above her head. I was taken with the sheer grace the dancer's moves. She moved quickly from side to side in front of a large triangular stone and all at once thrust the infant's head down upon the point of the rock. One by one the women would execute this rite after dismounting the man on the log. Of all the ceremonies of the tribe, this was its most sacred. I thought how glad I was to have been through my years of study at CSUSM before coming on this once-in-alifetime trip. I thought how disturbed Dave would have been had he stayed for the rest of the ceremony, and how insensitive Americans like Dave could be toward other cultures. At that moment I knew what all those people had meant when they said, "College changes you." *****Photos courtesy of www. dddb. simple net. com A re S tudents T hat Lazy? By JAMES NEWELL Pride Staff Writer When I was walking out of my class the other day, I witnessed an act that needs to be addressed. As I approached the double doors by the elevators in University Hall, I reached out to grab the handle and open the door. To my amazement, the doors swung open automatically. I stepped back just in time to see an able-bodied guy with . his step-out-of-my-way gait slip agilely into the hallway. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a handicap logo on the buttons that control the automatic doors? I was just wondering, because I thought they were provided to help individuals with different needs gain easy access to all areas of the university. Let me touch on some aspects Then there is the factor of of this ridiculous behavior. How our planet, everyone should try money.

For example, if everyone decided to disregard the energy crisis and leave one extra light on in their house all of the time, we would all be left in the dark. Instead keep the extra light on in your head. Don't waste. Lead everyone into the light. Why would you even use the automatic doors in the first place? It doesn't take more time to open the doors with your hands; most likely it takes less. Why not use a bit more of your own energy, rather than wasting natural gas, oil or nuclear energy, which are so very limited? Are you that cool or just that lazy? Now there is a closed question. No need to think, you can just pick the answer that sounds best. I'll even help you along if you are still confused.

According to North County Times, fellow student, Lorena, was lost in a fatal collision on April 21, 2007. Saturday shortly after midnight, she was driving with a male friend whose name was not released, west on the 76 highway during the recent rain storm. Barraza's Toyota veered into oncoming traffic and into a Early Learning Center's future questioned BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer CSUSM's Early Learning Center has provided help for the moms and dads on campus for nearly three years and in the fall, the Early Learning Center will move into a new facility, The Center for Children and Families. The ELC was made to fit the needs of children and their parents who are struggling to get along with college life and a family. The ELC offers a place for volunteer students to work and to become close to the children and their families. But now the bonds that have been made between the employees and children and their families might be broken. Since the Early Learning Center is moving into its new building, the current working staff has not been guaranteed a job at the Center for Children and Families. The Center for Children and Families will open early 2007. The center was funded on tax revenue that came from tobacco smokers which was approved by the First 5 Commission. The Center for Children and Families is licensed to serve 190 children from infants to pre-kindergartners. The total number of families served is expected to be 300. Programs will focus on preparing children for success in many areas of school including: parent education, language, speech and literacy development. Mosetta Rodrigues, an employee of the ELC, said that the center will not be run by ASI any longer, but it will be run by the university instead. "The ELC is separate from the organizations on campus," Rodrigues said. "None of the workers are students here with the exception of three paid student assistants. The foundation will oversee the running for children and families. The ELC will no longer be existing; the new place will be subsidized by funding and run by the Cal State." Rodrigues added, "We are not guaranteed our jobs. We are given a proSee E.L.C., page 3 TUESDAY, M AY 1, 2 007 head on collision. Barraza and her passenger were pronounced dead on the scene. According to Celia Martinez, Barraza held a teller position with Bank of America, majored in accounting, and was, "Deeply involved with the campus community. In 2005-2006 she held the position of MEChA Vice President." Barraza was involved with this year's MEChA High School Conference, and in previous years the Cesar E. Chavez Celebration, Raza Recognition, and other fundraisers. Martinez stated, "She currently had plans with VOL. XVII NO. 14 the preparation of the annual Guelaguetza, held at CSUSM. She was everywhere all the time willing to volunteer her time not only with MEChA, but also with other organizations on campus." On Thurs. April 26, students held a candlelight vigil in her memory.

Newto fcenterGay,or studentsQuestioning, Intersexor A2008 f Bisexual, Transgendered, slated f and lly center ASI seeks und Lesbian, BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Associated Students Inc. is looking to build another branch of services for CSUSM students. By the fall of 2008, ASI hopes to complete the construction of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex and Ally Center. The center is still in its early stages, but with a recently appointed committee, ASI will examine the LGBTQIA centers on other campuses and look to other models for CSUSM's center. Former ASI President, Roy Lee said, "It has always been a goal for this university to have this center. Whether it be University operated or ASI, the intent, to my knowledge has always been there. As ASI has grown, questions about the third center being started, seeing as the Women's Center and Cross Cultural Center have been established, the goal for this center's construction and formation began. The ASI BOD has voted unanimously to research and strategically open the LGBTQIA Center by 2008." . ASI Arts and Sciences Representative, Joshua Lovelace .and Bryce Manning, President of LGBTA, have been appointed as the co-chairs for the LGBTQIA Center planning committee. "Our job is to create a proposal for the ASI Board of Directors to review and approve," Lovelace said. "This coming Friday w6 are planning to have a brainstorming session. All students are welcome. We will discuss ideas for a mission statement, programming etc. on May 4 and go from there."

S., it's even a smaller percentage, so I want you to get clear of not only the privilege but of the responsibility you have." Rev. Dr. Washington asked each student to partner up with someone he or she did not know. Each student then discussed in partners, how they felt about difference and real conversation about diversity. Rev. Dr. Washington discussed the terms authenticity and honesty and expressed his hope for students to engage in authentic conversation. "Because we all know that we can be honest, without being authentic," he said. When Rev. Dr. Washington asked the crowd what the students' hopes for the evening were, one student said, "I just hope that we don't have to all come together in order for us to open our eyes to say that we need this. Why do we have to come together? Why can't we just do this on our own? Why do we have to come together and say, 'Oh? Yeah, huh.' We should already be doing this." During the next part of the evening, Rev. Dr. Washington asked students to examine the dynamics of his or her own existence. "What does it mean when there's a woman CEO or a woman vice president where there's never been a woman vice president and now all the people who report to her are men? What does that mean? What are the dynamics that show up when that's the difference?" Rev. Dr. Washington asked. When speaking on race, Rev. Dr. Washington said, "How many folks have ever had a conversation with somebody who didn't want to have it? Does that need for that conversation go away? I have been saying in sessions, we've been talking about talking about race for fifty years but we've not had a real conversation about it." In groups of four, students sat in chairs, knee to knee and engaged in conversation with students they had never met prior to the evening. Each student was given five minutes to identify his or herself through: race, religion, nationality, orientation, ability, gender, class and age. Next, each student answered questions stating what category he or she was most conscious of and why. Students also had to tell their peers of a time when he or she treated others less than- because of who they were. Some students found that they could relate to each other in more than one way. Once the session finished, Rev. Dr. Washington divided the room into two sections. Students sat in rows of chairs, facing each other. Rev. Dr. Washington paced back and forth down the middle and told students that if they felt comfortable, he or she could stand when he asked questions students found to be true to him or her, but students were not allowed to speak. In the act of standing up, Rev. Dr. Washington said that by answering to the questions asked, each student would be a representative of a particular group. With some humor, Rev. Dr. Washington shared with the students, "When they see me, they see big black man. One word. Bigblackman. They say, 'Oh! bigblackman!' They say, 'stay far away.' Now I can't control any of that. But it does matter that I know that." Rev. Dr. Washington proceeded, "If you are a first generation college student, please stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said. "Notice who's with you. Notice who's not." At this, each student who stood, scanned the room, and each student who sat, looked up. "If you ever feared for your safety because of your gender please stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said, "Notice who's with you. Notice who's not." Most of the women in the room stood, and most men sat looking up. Some questions spurred more emotional responses than others. From the experience as a whole, Freshman Bill Rhein said that he would "not take anything for granted anymore." Junior Angela Stubbs, said, "I can't understand why everyone couldn't attend and students had to R.S.V.P? You only find this stuff in college. It's symbolic of what our country feels about it. People are talking about it, but they're not really talking about it." The event was co-sponsored by Advisor Academy and Student Affairs Professional Development Team and included representatives of Student Development Services, ASI and University Village. From BARRAZA, page 1 T HE^PRIDg From SPEAKER, page 1 fortune of being on a diverse campus. We have the amazing good fortune of being in a room with folks who don't look like us, who do look like us, who think like us and who don't think like us. Who come from cultures and histories and families and communities that are like ours and they're not like ours, and that's an amazing world to be in. It's the world that we're in, but often we actually don't look at each other and say, I see you, I hear you, and let's learn from each other. You all, are the future. You're my hope. You're why I do what I do. You have an amazing ability to shape the future. And to shape it in a way that sees difference, embraces difference, and works together in a way that we actually create communities where we see and respect each other." This, Blanshan said, was the reason why each person gathered for an evening with Rev. Dr. Jaime Washington. Rev. Dr. Washington began the evening's conversation by speaking on leadership. "Much of the change that has happened around the world has been done by folks who look like you. Student leaders. On college campuses, and in the world. No major social change movement has ever happened without your influence and your power. I want you to recognize the importance of your role as student leaders today." When Rev. Dr. Washington told students that only 16% of citizens in the United States have advanced degrees, he said, "You will go out for the community." Like most 21 year old college students, Lorena's Myspace is filled with pictures, and personal phrases describing herself. Currently, her Myspace page is filled with postings by friends expressing loss, condolences, and grief. Lorena had just celebrated her 21st birthday on April 6 . Celia Martinez shared, "She managed to fit in with everyone even though she was doing her own thing and being herself. She did not need to pretend to be someone else to feel that shefitin. She just did. Although she is gone, those of us who knew her and cared about her can still hear her distinctive voice, laughter in the air. It is still impossible to accept that we will no longer see her walking towards us on campus, or that we will no longer get those silly text messages from her when she thought about us. She reminded all of us...about some important lessons, to take time and appreciate friendships and to remind people of how much they mean to us because you never know when it will be the last time you get to give them a hug or tell them that you love them. We were all given the opportunity to see her one last time the week before she left us, yet none of us knew it would be the last."

Samara White, a current senior at CSUSM majoring in Visual and Performing Arts, said that since working with the kids and families at the ELC, she has created bonds with all of them. "Professors send kids here and are very pleased with what we have going on. We really teach the kids," White said. When the ELC moves, it will have a great impact on the teachers who work at the ELC because they have gained close bonds with the children. White added, "The teachers go out of their way to be here and do things for the kids. They [the directors in charge] have not asked what we need for the center. It's distressing that they ignored us in the vision for the new center. It's inexcusable. The kids are being transferred up there. The parents don't know anyone up there. How can parents trust people they don't know anything about with their kids? It's a disappointment. You'd think as a Cal State they would want people experienced, who have been here. Some teachers feel forgotten. As a student I'm disappointed with how they neglected staff here. Staff has always had open dialogue with the directors. They have never given us a meeting with them or shown up at our events." A meeting regarding the ELC and the future of its employees will take place on Tues. May 1 at 5 p.m. at the ELC. From CAMPUS READ, page 1 hand. Kite enthusiasts stretch out the string, mold it with glass, and sand it down with sandpaper to smooth it out. When the kites are soaring in the sky they can reach up to three miles high. There are tricks for dipping and wrapping around the opponents' kites in hopes of snapping their string, retrieving their kite, and achieving ultimate bragging rights. Kabir explained that he could wear gloves for kite fighting, but that it ruins all the pleasurefull satisfaction from the sport. As Kabir demonstrated the sharpness of the string, he stated, "These cuts and stitches are from this. Sometimes my hand is bleeding all over. It [the string] is sharp, but strong at the same time." The kites are made by hand with thin paper, and moist bamboo forms into the desired shape. Kabir has been participating in the sport since he was about five years old, and he now owns over 2000 kites. Professors Sherri Douglass and Pamela Strieker collaborated on the event which was in synch with the campus read and a GEL 101 class. Funding was sponsored by the American Democracy Project and the First Year program. Part of ADP's mission is to enhance civic engagement within our campus community, and in the larger community. After the kite flying demonstration, a book discussion was held for the campus read, "The Kite Runner," a story of a young kite fighter in Afghanistan with immense cultural insights. Professor Pamela Strieker responded with her reaction of the event, "I think the book discussion went well and those present learned a great deal about Afghanistan and Afghani culture and they also learned that in the end, we are all not so different from one another." A few copies of the campus read are still available. Contact either Professor Pamela Strieker, at stricker@csusm. edu or the Office of Community Service Learning located in the Faculty Center in Kellogg Library. From LGBTQIA, page 1 Felipe Robinson-Zanartu said, "The committee will visit different centers and see how they were structured so we have an idea of what to look for and what to model it as. That's exactly how we modeled our Women's Center. We didn't start by making stuff up." Felipe said that the center could potentially provide counseling services or offer a place for students to hang out. "It goes with ASI's core value of diversity, bringing in all types of values, opinions, and serving 100 percent of students," RobinsonZanartu said. Lee said, "I see the center being an inclusive and educational venue where students, any student, may come in. In regard to programming, I think the opportunity that lies ahead is the ability to educate our North County San Diego community about these issues and provide any support and ser, vices." When speaking of the LBGTA club on campus, Robinson-Zanartu said, "They're a very big club on campus that's done a lot of programming with Student Life and Leadership. And with the C3 and with ASI's goals of fostering awareness and education and student life. That's what we want to with the LBGTQIA Center." As of now, Robinson-Zanartu said, "We do have a really tight budget. We have no money allocated toward the center." In order to fund the center, ASI will first look outside of CSUSM. To do so, ASI has hired Rodger D'Andreas as an advisor for the LGBTQIA Center. D'Andreas will also serve as the advisor to the Women's Center. "He's going to look for all the different funding possibilities," Robinson-Zanartu. "This will be via grants and from supplemental funding wherever we can find it. But because he's so good at doing that, that's one of the reasons we hired him. We're looking to have it funded from the outside. Then once we have the budget situation under control, then we could have money put into it." With two centers on campus including the Women's Center, the Cross Cultural Center, and the upcoming LGBTQIA Center, ASI recognized the need for representation among an additional slew of clubs and organizations. At a recent board meeting, ASI's Aamara Ysrael introduced a new position— a Social Justice Officer. "He or she is in charge of creating a Multicultural Committee of all different clubs, whether it be the German Club, the French Club, MEChA, we have a whole list of clubs and organizations, to try to incorporate everyone into ASI and have the multicultural perspective," Robinson-Zanartu said. The position of the Social Justice Officer is appointed by ASI President Caitlin Gelrud and must be approved by ASI's Board of Directors. The position is currently open to any student who would be willing to serve CSUSM as the Social Justice Officer. —i UNITED STATES ARMY HEALTH CARE SEROEAKT FIRST C lASS (S3PC) W AUD $ 58) 4 954598~-Wotk # 77) 722-23 l (*-Citt Timothy.W«u<J@us atec.acrmy.mil OT/PT/R NURSE CORPS ADN RNs for Army Reserves Cash bonus Financing for BSN Local Employment Advanced nurse training available: CRNA, LTHET, C C.

The virtual tours not only allow users to zoom into any place around the world, but it also provides information pertaining to the chosen location. The website claims to provide a multitude of multimedia information "from the web community and popular sources like National Geographic"; users are also provided with "Geographic Web and Featured Content layers as well as layers for 3D buildings, parks, schools, hospitals, airports, shops and more," states the website. For those whom need practical local information, the website also provides driving directions and makes it easy to "layer multiple searches, save results to folders, and share placemarks with others." Book marking or rather, "placemarking" locations, permits users to save the places they have visited along with customized additional information added to the "placemark." It is clear that Google Earth provides a plethora of resources to users around the globe, but perhaps more importantly, it exposes the devastation taking place in Darfur. When the fiveletter word, "S-u-d-a-n", is typed into the search bar, the website displays a world of its own - far from any location one would "placemark" as a vacation spot. The screen shows two types of fire icons: one orange and red, the other completely red. The orange/red fire represents damaged villages and the completely red fire represents destroyed vil- lages. As the destroyed and damaged villages are homes to many, those homes are represented by light and dark blue icons labeling them as either "refugees" or "internally displaced" individuals. Where one would be excited to click on the multimedia icons in any other given location, these icons only unfold the tragedy that has befallen the men, women and children of Darfur. Videos and pictures give testimonies of the people who have been afflicted by the genocide sweeping across Sudan. Upon reading testimonials, seeing pictures and watching movies - the website provides a link to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), where users can find out more information about the crisis in Darfur, how to help, and "bear witness" to the achingly horrible violence that is occurring everyday. The entire world is now able to witness mass genocide - however it is up to users to seek the knowledge.

BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer The Arthritis Foundation invites the community to par- ticipate in its? annual San Diego Arthritis Walk. To be held at Embarcadero Park North on Sunday, May 20, the Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to help the 46 million people with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Arthritis affects men, women, and children of every race and ethnic group and is America's leading cause of disability. Over 700,000 residents of San Diego and Imperial Counties live with arthritis, nearly 3,500 of them children. The Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to honor and to help improve the lives of friends, loved ones, and community members afflicted with the debilitating condition. Funds generated by the event will be used by the Arthritis Foundation in its ongoing effort to "help individuals take control of arthritis by providing public health education; pursuing public policy and legisla- tion; and conducting evidencebased programs to improve the quality of life for those living with arthritis," according to the foundation's website (www. arthritis.org). Those who wish to participate in the San Diego Arthritis Walk can register online to form or join a team. Once registered, participants can set up their own personal Web page and begin raising funds using the online fundraising tools provided by the foundation. At the event, according to the 2007 San Diego Arthritis Walk homepage, participants may choose from a three-mile or one-mile walk route; write an inspirational message on the Wall of Heroes; wear a blue "hero" hat if they have arthritis; and enjoy the f un, festivities and f ree health information. There is no fee to register, but a participant must raise a minimum of $100 in order to receive an Arthritis Walk tshirt. The event schedule is as follows: May 18 @ 5 p.m.: Online registration closes. May 20 @ 7 a.m. - 8:15 a.m.: Registration and t-shirt pick up . 8:15 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.: Warm up and announcements 8:30 a.m. - 10 a.m.: 5K Arthritis Walk at the Embarcadero Park North May 30 @ 5 p.m.: Online donations close. Get ready for the 2008 Walk! BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer Going the extra mile: Local Arthritis Walk Image courtesy the Arthritis Foundation Getting a summer job BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Summer is fast approaching. During summer, some Cougars go back to their home dens, some stay here at CSUSM, and some vacation around the world. Regardless of the destination, all Cougars need money during the summer. One way to ensure a supply of money consists of working during the summer. All Cougars should be aware of the basics when applying for a job. Despite the current lack of seriousness in today's college culture, first appearances matter the most. When applying for a job make sure to groom neatly meaning no crazy hair dyes, no overrun sideburns, and no just woke up before coming to interview hairdos. Dress professionally even if the job of interest is the local donut shop. Dressing professionally consist of a dress shirt, tie, dress shoes and slacks for male Cougars, and non-revealing blouses, skirts or slacks, and dress shoes for female Cougars. Keep eye contact, shake hands firmly, and formally introduce yourself to all personnel. CSUSM's Career Center website (www. csusm.edu/careers) offers loads of information regarding summer jobs and internships. One summer job opportunity provided through a link on the website is a job involving "campaigns to stop global warming pollution and promote clean, renewable energy alternatives." Another links offers a job in painting residential and commercial for the summer/The web- site also offers aid in creating resumes and an online interview practice program with over 1,500 mock interview questions. Another website offering advice for job-hunting Cougars is Monster (www. monster.com). Monster has over 75 million registered users. Monster users post their resumes at no charge, allowing interested companies to view them. Interviews are highly important when applying for a job. In addition, Monster recommends further involvement in job hunting outside of just posting a resume. Wendy S. Enelow, a Monster Contributing Writer, explains, "Writing powerful thank-you letters is not just a formality. Thank-you letters are marketing tools that can have tremendous value in moving your candidacy forward and positioning you above the competition." James Gonyea, another Monster Contributing Writer, proclaims "Discover the Work You Were Born to Do" in his article on how tofinda job you will enjoy by answering a set of 20 questions. Career Builder (www.careerbuilder. com) also provides information on jobs and is similar to Monster. A quick search in sales in San Marcos, CA resulted in 13 hits. The 13 job listings offered jobs from selling furniture, toflowers,and even cell phones. Like Monster, the website allows users to upload resumes quickly and free. Post Resume (www.postresume.com), similar to Career Builder and Monster, also allows the postirig of resumes at no charge. The website suggests "Rewrite/update/rework your resume to reflect your current career objectives. Remember that your resume speaks volumes about you, particularly if you're looking to shift gears into a new field in which you have no directly applicable experience. Be sure to note your skills and capabilities, the personal qualifications that you will bring to a job rather than industry-specific experience. And, emphasize transferable skills such as leadership, flexibility, teamwork, and problem-solving. Also, be sure to highlight prior measurable/demonstrable accomplishments." The upcoming 2007 San Diego County Fair "Salute to Heroes" (www.sdfair. com) begins June 8th and ends July 4th. The event creates numerous opportunities for employment. Such job opportunities include shuttle drivers, stagehands, ticket sellers, and even security positions. The excitement and proximity of the San Diego County Fair smells like a perfect catch for any Cougar. If finding a job seems traumatic and stressful, take into account a real experience from a fellow Cougar. "I was once hired because I looked preppy and had no friends. I rolled in wearing flip-flops, a Volcom short sleeve t-shirt, board shorts and sunglasses. My boss felt sorry for me and hired me," said Business Administration Major Kyle McClellan. So, as the few weeks left of school come to a close, begin the job search now to ensure afinanciallyburden free summer. �Halfofus.com Website of the Week: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer reaches those young people who need help the m ost" Halfofus.com aims to join, support and inform college students about mental health issues, while also allowing students to guide the direction of the site with their personal testimonials and feedback. The website offers students exclusivity by linking students to their own school's specific programs on mental health and depression, and provides students with national resources as well. Topics addressed on the site include: depression, suicide, bipolar disease, eating disorders, anxiety, stress, alcohol use and drugs. One particular service offered through the site is an anonymous screening tool for students to help them understand, cope with and take further action should they feel they have an emotional disorder. Halfofus.com is a "safe space" that provides students with the opportunity to explore their feelings and emotions through useful resources, and presenting advice on how to reach out to a friend, as well as ways to combat depression. . Featured tools on the website include: an action center to facilitate students who wish to get more involved in mental health awareness, with information on how to start an "Active Minds student advocacy chapter" on their campus; an anonymous self-evaluation screening tool that was developed by the Medical Center of Duke University, giving students individualized feedback; "Through Half of Us, mtvU and The Jed Foundation want to initiate a public dialogue to raise awareness about the prevalence of mental health issues on campus and connect students to the appropriate resources to get help," states halfofus. com. Halfofus.com is just one of the many resources available through The Jed Foundation (an organization leading the nation in suicide prevention and helping to educate college students about mental health and mental health services) and ULifeline (a program run by The Jed Foundation). Launched in November of 2006, the Jed Foundation paired with mtvU to create a campaign to heighten awareness about mental health issues and their prevalence on college campuses across the nation by linking students to the right resources. In a press announcement released by mtvU, Half Of Us "represents the reality that nearly half of all college students have felt so depressed they could not function. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students, and the number one cause of suicide is depression. In an effort to reverse these trends, Half of Us will initiate a public dialogue that begins to de-stigmatize mental health, encourages more young people to seek out ways to improve their state of mind, and m Mv ass » Tiies •'1 W ed Cilmb in the • • French Grammar ' - Executive's Chair Workshop , "Developing Your .:• lOto 11:50 a.m. Markstein 125 •• Use of Articles & • Negatives* • ' ; .

As one of the most visited places in Morocco, it comes as no surprise that it offers a real sumptuous shopping experience; of course you are expected to haggle hard! In a city full of talented artists of llVilV «MUÍ many disciplines— especially leather working, wood and metals, there is no shortage of venders to try out your negotiating skills and it really is a fun thing to do. Marrakesh is also known as the "Red City," possibly due to the abundance of its ochre colored buildings, and it was the capital of Morocco off and on for a few hundred years. The first thing that a visitor to the place will notice when disembarking the plane, l^il^i is the stunning snow-capped High Atlas Mountains that surround the area; however, the awe does not end there. Beyond the city walls, resides such an unfamiliar collision of smells, sights and noise that it can be tricky to maintain your sense of direction, not good when you are trying to find your accommodations! Donkeys and carts are a major form of transportation, as are diesel powered mini motorbikes, so it is inevitable that extremely potent fumes hit the nose as you meander through the narrow streets. Venders in tiny shops line the streets as do countless motorbike repair shops and you really have to be careful in navigating your way around; people and animals are everywhere and there seems to be no rules with regard to slaloming a motorbike at high speed through the throngs of walkers.* Most streets seem to lead to the famous Djemaa el-Fna, a huge central square full of activity. Here you will find performers of every kind, from snake charmers to story tellers/Animals are everywhere too, donkeys and mules tirelessly haul THE PRIDE their cargo and performing monkeys hop around their owners shoulders. Naturally pick pockets abound and you may encounter a few solicitations for henna hand painting or merchandise, so it is important that you do not become too mesmerized by the fantastical scenes around you. Also overlooking the hive of activity is the ancient 253-ft tall Prayer tower or minaret, of the Koutoubia mosque, a. beautiful structure complete with huge stork nests at the top. Five times a day there is a call to prayer from the minaret which adds to the feeling of wonderment of the place; there really is nothing more beautiful than hearing the first cali just before dawn. Linked to the Djemaa el-Fna is the extensive network of the souqs an absolute must to explore. Everything you could possibly imagine is sold here, including things you would probably not like to imagine, such as leopard skins that you will find in some of the apothecary stalls. However, I believe that it is important to keep an open mind and, above all, be respectful to the Moroccans right to practice what they believe in, you are after all a visitor in their culture. Aside from shopping, I really recommend soaking in other things. Take in the museums and the gorgeous Yves St. Laurent gardens. Wonder at the Moroccan Saadian architecture amidst the Saadian Dynasty tombs and, for the ultimate in relaxation, pay a visit to one of the numerous steam baths or Hammans for an olive soap scrub down or simply sit and people watch whilst sipping delicious mint tea at a café in the Djemaa el-Fna. In all, Marrakesh will provide memories of a timeless place and you will no doubt be keen to return, it really can be a wonderful immersion into an enchanting and exhilarating culture. �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday; May 1, 2007 Jock Talk With Josh: Yankees vs Rod Sox BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer I am so sick of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. The sports world loves this rivalry, but I am completely over it. The last straw for me came last Thursday. I was sitting in my COMM 440 class with, Dr. Bud Morris. Every week at that time I'm usually struggling tofinda topic to write about, and last week was no different. My next step at that point is to ask my buddy Mike Millburn for a topic. I respect his suggestions since he's also in the sports business, but I could tell it was a slow sports news day when he told me the biggest story was about a sock. That's right, a sock. Not just a regular white gym sock, but a bloody sock that was worn in 2004. The significance of a bloody sock, you ask? It was worn by Curt Schilling in the 2004 playoffs when the Red Sox came from behind from a three games to nothing deficit against the Yankees before going on to win the World Series. Schilling showed great courage at the time for pitching with a torn tendon in his ankle. The blood on the sock came from his sutured ankle that the training staff did up for him twice during the playoffs. The reason this * sock has emerged almost three years later? Because Gary Thorne, a baseball announcer said that one of Schilling's teammates told him that it was red paint, and not blood on the sock. That was the lead story on the 3PM Sportscenter last Thursday. ESPN spent seven minutes discussing a red sock from the Red Sox. What may be most disturbing is that red sock sits in Cooperstown at the Baseball Hall of Fame. When the museum closes at night I can imagine all the baseball head plaques wondering where 3 snnam..Mrm 9 8 6 1 5 the nasty smell is coming from. I can imagine the plaques of Reggie Jackson and Lou Gehrig looking at one another and accusing Babe Ruth as the source of the smell. Then Ted Williams' plaque jumping in and explaining that there's a bloody sock from the Red Sox World Series Championship. I can imagine all of that because the sports world would like you to believe that even the Red Sox and Yanked Hall of Fame plaques don't like each other. Seriously, though. The Red Sox and Yankees played a three game series two weeks ago and all three were on national telecasts, ESPN broadcasted the Friday and Sunday night games while Fox 6 7 2 T he o bjective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the c orrect numbers.

The season is only a month old and both teams have already made more appearances on national television than most other teams will have all season long. Back to the red sock. Thorne actually held an impromptu news conference to discuss the "controversy" once Mirabelli denied ever saying that it was paint, and not blood. A press conference over a bloody sock. I think that may be a sign of the Apocalypse or hopefully the downfall of this played out rivalry.

A native to North County and a UCSD graduate, Martin Storrow preaches a peachy blend of acoustic folk and poppy jams. "I think in college when everyone is so focused on the outcome, so focused on the piece of paper, the result, the grade— [it's important to] just find a fulfillment in the process. Find the fulfillment in every step along the way, and don't worry too much about the outcome," said Storrow. "If you really want it, it will happen," he continued, addressing the challenges of following one's dream and career aspirations. After a long haul oftouring last winter - "150 days on the road," claimed Storrow - he's back in town for a bout of relaxation and regeneration to finish his first ^olo full-length album with producers Peter Spragu6 and Daniel Diaz. "It's been really nice to just be home," said Storrow, "and I think it also helps the art too. Being homfe and connecting with these old relationships that I've had and being in this emotional space of familiarity—that really breeds good art, I think." Anticipated to be released later this summer, some of the highlights awaiting listeners on the yet to be named new album are tracks like "Angel of the Moment," "Midnight Daydreams," and "Ugly." "Everything from songs I wrote six years ago, to songs that I wrote yesterday are going to be on this album," said Storrow. "The songs stem from the same place, which is a very honest place." One of the featured tracks that .will be on the new album is "Angel of the Moment." "For me," explained Storrow, "that song is about all of us in our own capacity to be someone's angel, which I think is such a powerful thought, so I'm excited about that song and what it says." Formerly the frontmanforThe Storrow Band, Martin Storrow is no stranger to the local or even national music scene and his music is as honest and captivating as ever. "I'm sure you've listened to a song and thought: 'that song is about me, that's what I wanted to say, and this person said it.' As a [song-writer] when I hear that, there's a part [of me] that's like 'oh crap, what now?' [Thinking] that now I can't write that song because someone else already said it," said Storrow. "But to be able to do that—to be able to connect—it's not just a destination as much as it is a process, and that's where my fulfillment comes from, from that process...there's no point that I'll reach where I'll say 'I'm done being a song-writer.'" Admitting to having played over 350 shows within the past few years on the road, when asked how he keeps his performances fresh and unique, he replied, "I think the trick to keeping it fresh is a) remembering exactly why I do this, and b) playing stuff that I like and enjoying myself." Entertaining a cozy and intimate listening experience, Martin Storrow's "show slash workshop" is fun and memorable, complete with Storrow's special touch of humor and charm. Catch Martin Storrow at "It's a Grind Coffee House" off of Rancho Sante Fe in San Marcos, every Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. through May.

JMthJhe^anticipationof M ay-4-nearing, audiences across the world are getting tickets for the showing of "Spider-Man 3" in the hopes of seeing Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) square off against the New Goblin (James Franco), Venom (Topher Grace) and the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) in what may be considered the best "Spider-Man" yet. At the start of the film, Peter Parker (Maguire) is at the top of his class in school while, Spider-Man is receiving approval from the entire city of New York. Mary sour concoction is also the perfect decoration for any well-manicured hand on any given occasion. This juicy spin on a classic martini could have originated from one of three scenarios in my opinion; the first of which is in the spirit of the evil queen in Snow White, who, as the fairly tale says, tricked Snow White into eating the poisoned apple. The second of which is the telltale biblical story of the temptation of the Eve with apple in the Garden of Eden. Perhaps the creator of the Appletini felt tempted to mess with a good thing (the original martmi). Although none of these possibilities a?e very likely, this sinful indulgence is a sugary twist on the timeless martini, bound to delight and satisfy. Jane Watson (Kristen Dunst) is living her childhood dream and is a star of a Broadway show, while Harry Osborn (Franco) is stilWooking to avenge his father's death. With everything going so well, it only seems right that outside forces would begin to play a role and bring in a lot of drama. When a strange black creature from out of this world takes over the Spider-Man suit, Peter Parker becomes a whole new character. At the same time, a new freelance photographer, Eddie Brock, (Grace) competes with Peter Parker in taking SpiderMan's photo. With the addition of Grace, the audience receives a well-balanced cast. Photo by Amanda Andreen I The Pride .With many subtle variations of the newly found classic floating around, my . favorite version of the smashingly appetizing Appletini is as follows: 1 1/2 ounce Smirnoff Green Apple Twist Vodka 1 ounce DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker schnapps Pour all ingredients into a shaker. Fill with ice. Shake well and then pour the mix into a martini glass and garnish with an apple slice or a maraschino cherry, Ah yes,: the Appletini, one of my favorites and soon to be yoursi; Johnny Appleseed sure had the right idea; it is just too bad it took the rest of us so long to catch on. As things begin to settle down in the movie and the storylines are slowly immerging, Maguire and Franco are able to have fim with4heif-eharaeters-by over emphasizing their emotions, which brings humor to the film. With things slowly going back to normal, the audience gets sucked into the heavy dosages of drama instead of the action packed movie viewers would expect. With the longevity of the drama, the film's humor passes the time as well as the scattered battle scenes throughout the film. The best parts of thisfilmare the action scenes - from the spectacular animation Movie Review Image courtesy of Sony Pictures of Spider-Man saving the innocent, to Peter dancing up a storm, to the very well choreographed battles between the good ""guys and the not-so-evil bad guys. The action scenes allow the audience to forget that the story moves slowly. With some amazing one-on-one battles, the finale is what makes the movie what it is, another blockbuster smash. With all the story lines coming to a close, the movie tries to pull tears from the audience as the emotional rollercoaster of Spider-Man and friends comes to an end. And this very well could be thefinalchapter of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. house in reference to a popular BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Jpride Staff Writer * ¡ gggj on Qhxgda oV southern s We. ¡ ¡¡¡I ¡ g j m i | rn I H P | g tass bottles are tinted dark green and : | Friday, night, books in a, mountainous adorned with red and gold bottle caps, stack on the left, bundles of pens and pencils The bottle caps crown a beer with an alcool the right, and a computer screen in the hoi by volume of 4.8 percent.

Why are we flinging ourselves into lava pits? Well, it's not a leap; it's a fall down a tunnel. What other options do we have as we exit high school? We are conditioned from our youth to believe in the importance of going to college. But, now that I'm weeks from graduation, I have but one question: Now what? In his 2011 State oLthe Union Address, President Obama remarked that nearly half of the new jobs in the next 10 years will require a college degree (Whitehouse.gov). And we've all been told before that the best thing to do in an economic recession is to attend school so that when the economy "bounces back" we'll get some magical high- Photo courtesy of Melanie Slocum ¿ ( e J J o s i J (ejzAn£jct ¿/i C o l l i A e FAREWELL ADVICE FROM THE EDITOR-IN-rfllEF S A N D R A C HALMERS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF As I take my last walks up and down the cliffs of stairs that compose most of this campus, I think back 'on all the things that as a freshman I wish I knew and the most important lessons that my education has armed me with. So to benefit the student population I will be leaving behind as I graduate this May, I offer some honest truths about college life. Professors want to hear more than your stomach growling in class: Professors want students to ask questions in class, I learned in my Communication 200 course, debate and persuasion , the essential step in thinking critically is to ask questions, and if there are no questions being asked in class then critical thinking could quite possibly be absent. Professors aim to fuel your understanding, your thought process on the material and if the content is too difficult to follow, tuning out and thinking about a Mr. Taco breakfast burrito will not help you engage in the material, I know, its hard, but reading the material prior to class helps reinforce your true understanding. Getting questions answered as the class progresses keeps you from getting stuck at midterm, review with 25 topics you can't find on Wikipedia. If you're going to buy the text. book, make sure to read it: We all know the familiar heart- break of paying $136 for a textbook that was never opened and then got denied buy back. That slap in the face happens all to often, so invest ig your investments, make your textbooks your best friends, after all we know they have the right answers in them to guarantee you a perfect grade. n ^ ¿ ï T o r ' What's even worse is that nobody cares; at least, not enough do. Why aren't more students angered by this? The economy is something we have little control over, but our voices are something we do. While there have been significant efforts to raise awareness and protest tuition increases on this campus, the amount of student turnout at these events is negligible, and embarrassing. This issue affects all of us students, yet nobody can seem to envision anything beyond final exams. Wake up CSUSM. As I leave this university, I've been slapped in the face with a bleak reality beyond the Utopia of undergraduate education. Know that doom's day is coming, and know that as students, you can change this, and should. Of all environments to speak your mind in, college is probably the most accommodating you will experience. Speak up for your education, speak up for yourself. Take advantage of your own voice, stop expecting others to do it for you, and know that if you don't, your investment into a lie will s a & v ) e j i " Time w ell s p e n t " i s a r elative t erm 1 I j 1 I I | 1 Cell phone in class, means l sing your ringtone in class: I will never forget the time I sang the chorus for the song "Tipsy" by J-Kwon in front of my sociology class after my phone rang. The rules of the land were, "phone rings, then you must sing." My unfortunate taste in ringtone denied me the chance slip by humming a simple tune, but my impromptu performance branded me to never allow phone interruptions during any class again, or you may never know what embarrassing consequences there maybe. If you're on time, you're already late: My favorite class, at the early hour of 10 a.m, became a phenomenon for my time keeping abilities. Arriving right at 10 a.m meant a lengthy search for a chair or possibly sitting at the uneven desk in the corner that squawked with every movement of a pencil . My professor seemed to understand this phenomenon and would stop at mid sentence to cheerfully invite me to class with a "Oh hi there, great that you made it." Her genuine invitation felt like daggers to my embarrassment, a perfect cure to understanding that being on time is already too late. paying job. But what about us in-betweeners? What are we supposed to do for the next 9 years? I 'd like to enjoy my 20s, not eat ramen noodles until I'm over 30. Not only do more than 11 percent of college students graduate unemployed, but they do so with excessive debt. Our parents and teachers indoctrinated us to believe that getting a Bachelor's degree is an investment in our future, so 53 percent of full-time students take out loans (National Center for Education Statistics). But what happens when that future holds no promise? We have invested into a lie. Not only do unemployed-tobe students already graduate with massive debt, but state governments are making it increasingly more difficult for students to afford a public education. In 2011 alone, the cost of tuition for a CSU undergraduate rose an additional 10 percent (calstate. edu), making the amount of debt students graduate with even higher, while creating an inverse relationship with the success in finding a job after we graduate. forget what I should care more about. Relationships with friends, family and loved ones are lasting and real, and the best part is, you don't get graded on them.

With summer coming up, I am going to want to see them since we are all go. ing back home. I feel like my boyfriend and I have all these plans for summer— we hope to enjoy time together without the stress of school. I don't know how to tell him that I want to make sure I have time for my friends. Help? Friends are an extremely important factor in any romantic relationship. Aside from sharing a friendship between the two of you, you both need to maintain relationships with your mutual and separate friends. These friendship ties can he difficult to keep while attending separate colleges during the school year; summer is a perfect opportunity to reconnect with the people who have known you for years. If you are worried that your boyfriend's plans will encroach on your time with your friends, all you can do is talk to him about this matter. Let him know that you want to enjoy time with him, but you also need time for your friends. Friends are the support you can cling to when your love life is rocky; don't abandon them! A couple should not monopolize one another—if he has trouble understanding this concept, maybe he is not worth your time. I am studying abroad this summer. How can I make friends with and/or date foreign students? Studying in a different country is a great educational opportunity—new cultures, landscapes, languages, and people can greatly enhance your overall life experience. If you are looking to connect with others while studying abroad, be cautious. Use street smarts and be wary of those who could potentially take advantage of your money, your information, or your heart. I would advise keeping relationships on the lighter side—falling headover-heels for someone while studying in a foreign country can have a heavy effect on your educational plans as well as your emotions. If you are looking for romance, look for it in the history and art of the culture. Chances are, you will discover likeminded people who you can connect with as you explore the country. Use email or social networking to stay in touch upon return—you individual experience will determine to what extent you continue any friendships or relationships. Be smart, be yourself, and enjoy your time abroad.

Broadcasting live from campus, CSUSM College Radio is gaining a reputation as one of the leading media and entertainment sources for CSUSM students. The organization was recently recognized as the Best New Student Org for 2011 at the Tukwut Leadership awards night. CSUSM College Radio began in Spring 2010 as a student project in Dr. Youwen Ouyang's software engineering class. Rosario Vizcaino was the mastermind behind this idea, founding the radio program in spite of the obstacles involved in taking on such a large project. "I had proposed the idea of starting a web-based radio since there was no radio on campus. My classmates thought the project was very difficult to do, so they opted for another project and the group dropped the idea. I then proceeded on my own and within about two weeks the radio was created," Vizcaino stated. In a year's time, CSUSM Col- RADI ° V O T E D BEST N E W lege Radio has evolved from inPoHin •; £ spiration to reality. In 2010, Student Life and Leadership formally recognized the radio program as a student organization. The Student Media Advisory Council (SMAC) now recognizes the program as an official student media outlet. CSUSM College Radio is a web based radio station that is run "by students for the students" according to its website, www. csusm.info. Students can tune in to several different shows, view a schedule of show content and air times, and contact the radio program via chat or messages. The station features a variety of music to suit any taste, so there is something for every CSUSM student. Campus news and events are also broadcast through the CSUSM radio ether; the program often makes an appearance at various CSUSM happenings to give entertainment and live coverage. Because of its primary focus on student interests, CSUSM College Radio strives to show appreciation for its audience. "Currently, we support all campus orgs through live performances and by advertising their events on the web based radio page as well as Facebook. We also host radio shows where any interested student can participate. We promote STUDENT ORG 2011 diversity and encourage campus involvement," Vizcaino said. A positive, fast-paced future is in store for CSUSM College Radio. Vizcaino assured students and faculty that "interest for the radio program is growing very rapidly. I hope that soon we can have our own official studio. Currently we use the services provided by the library such as the music studios to broadcast live on our page. We are currently in the development of creating a training to show students how to DJ. We find there to be a demand for DJ's and we certainly would encourage those who have a passion for music to participate, we'll train you and guide you. Currently, we have a radio class taught by Joan Anderson. The class covers broadcast and journalism for radio, print, and web. It's a very good class for those interested in radio broadcasting. This class helps us with our different shows, as we have to write scripts and agenda's that prepare us for our live shows."

CougarApps allows all students and faculty to download software available on campus computers from the comfort of their homes. Through CougarApps, users can gain access to programs such as SPSS, Maple, MatLab, Crystal Ball, MiniTab, NVIVO, and Adobe CS5. This service is available for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Droid and any device with an Internet browser. To access CougarApps, students and faculty can use their Internet browsers to access https:// cougarapps.csusm.edu. From there, users log in with their CSUSM user-name and password to download a browser plug-in. Once the plug-in is installed, students can utilize any of the programs available from the list to continue the work they started at school. Many of the programs offered are used in the labs on campus, so any projects students begin using school computers can continue from anywhere a student has Internet access. In the fall, all instructor stations and lab computers will come equipped with CougarApps. Unfortunately, not all campus programs are available on CougarApps. Software licensing issues prevent CSUSM to make every campus program available for home use. CougarApps will be available for free to all students and faculty next semester.

Over the course of the competition, we recycled an average of 20 pounds of paper, 15 pounds of cardboard, and surprisingly only 13 pounds of bottles and cans per person. Questions arose regarding whether or not CSUSM may have had a slight advantage over the other colleges that participated. Do we use more paper, so we recycle it more? With there being over 20 vending machines, a cafeteria and a market, do we sell and then recycle more plastic bottles and cans? An unproven rumor has been floating around campus implying the main reason why we win each year is that our campus janitorial staff is specifically trained to separate the recyclable materials out from the trash. According the rules of RecycleMania, "The competition's goal is to increase student awareness and involvement in campus recycling through collaboration and partnership with participating schools," and says nothing about the legality of janitorial help within the competition. If the main goal of the competition is get student to participate in recycling and we are having the hard-working janitorial staff do most of the work for us, then what are we the students really learning about recycling? With the many recycle bins that stand next to each trash can on campus, students are more than capable of recycling by choosing where to toss their waste Information about what can be recycled is a v a i l a b l e at csusm. edu/sustainability/recyclables. # 1 Cai State San Marcos, 79.96% M # 3 Stetson University, 70.31 % # 4 Loyola Marymount University, 67.32% # 5 New Mexico State University, 66.87% # 6 CUNY College of Staten Island, 66.39% # 7 Barton College, 64.62% # 8 Norwalk Community College, 63.92% # 9 University of Scranton, 62.36% # 10 Massachusetts Maritime Academy, 61.78% Cardboard Bottles/Cans Recycled Pounds Per Student at Cal State San Marcos Artwork By M organ Hal! �FEATURES THE PRIDE MAY 10TH, 2011 CAMPUS CALLS FOR STUDENT INTERNS GET CREDIT, GET PAID, GET EXPERIENCE S ANDRA C HALMERS E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Resumes, cover letters, interviews and business suits all ring the familiar bell of the rigorous race for employment and as the weather heats up, so does the competition for internships. Though finding internships relevant to your job field may seem impossible, many opportunities actually exist closer than students may think. Our campus features a variety of internship opportunities available to students in many disciplines all geared to provide valued work experience. Specialized internships available on campus include disciplines such as health education, multimedia, Sociology, and Kinesiology, just to name a few. Using our university resources makes finding and applying for these internships a simple hasslefreeprocess. Some internships are unpaid, while others may offer course credit. The most rewarding element of internships is the priceless in-action experience. The H.O.P.E (Health, Outreach, Promotion, Education) and Wellness Center in connection with Student Health and Counseling Services offer an internship opportunity composed of students working to educate peers by leading group discussions, marketing campus awareness events and aiding in the planning and facilitating health workshops. This internship requires about six to eight hours of work per week. Those interested in this internship opportunity can contact Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM's Health Educator, at cnguyen@csusm.edu. Those with experience in website development, multimedia and HTML can apply for an internship to maintain a website for Kamp Katrina. Kamp Katrina is a camp that provides shelter to city street musicians in New Orleans and is in need of an intern that can assist in updating the website regularly. Those interested can also receive internship units for Visual and Performing Arts or Literature and Writing Studies. Interested applicants can contact lead supervisor for the project, Dr. Dawn Formo, Associate Dean for Instruction and Academic Programs, at dformo@csusm.edu. Internships available exclusively to Kinesiology majors at the Clarke Field House present opportunity for work in personal training, ASI recreation and in athletic training. Research opportunities within Kinesiology offer a wide range of concentration topics and can also receive internship units within the major. For more details and contact information, visit www.csusm. e du/kinesiology/interships. Sociology internships present a unique chance to "shadow" an expert in the field of your choice at a local agency; students may present their suggestions for expert and agency prior to registering for internship credit and must seek department approval. This internship opportunity ranks high among Sociology and Criminal Justice majors as it is a required capstone course need for graduation. Approval instructions and a list of local agencies can be found at www.csusm.edu/sociology/internship, deadline for Fall 2011 enrolled is quickly approaching, CSUSM'S INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPA www.csusmpride.com C O M E TO OUR WEEKLY MEETINGS EVERY TUESDAY D URING U-HOUR IN C RAVEN HALL 3 500, NEXT SEMESTER CONTACT: csusmpride@gmail.com all paper work must be signed and submitted by May 27, 2011.

THE PRIDE PAR FOR THE COURSES EXPERIENCE SAN DIEGO GOLFING O WEN HEMSATH PRIDE STAFF W RITER The golf course may not be the first place a college student turns to for hot summer fun, but an afternoon at the green could turn out to be the best decision you make this summer. Filled with fresh grass, clear water ponds, ducks and funny shoes, golf courses in San Marcos offer a great and relaxing way to enjoy the summer sun without exhausting your wallet or your patience. Golf courses typically offer beverage services with products ranging from a classic Coke to bitter brews, and carry all the excitement and fun associated with an afternoon around friends minus the crowds and the costs. Golfing also provides its participants with a variety of sporting options, and courses in the North County area typically offer accommodations for beginners. For example, while 18 holes may be a bit much for newbie (as this may take three to four hours of play time), playing.the front or "back 9" holes could be an awesome way to spend some time with goodfriendsin good conversation and practice that swing you've been meaning to improve. No clubs — no worries. Golf courses offer rental clubs for daily use or individual clubs for purchase in case you'd like to build up your set, and most courses offer drink services along the way. Tee times can range from $20 to $40 depending on your course and cart. If a round is not your thing, try the putting greens. Like a mini-golf course without the 2-year olds (or the windmillshey, you can't have it all) the putting greens allow a slower pace for practicing putts while still providing the same sunlight and bar service you have come to expect from a golf course. While the greens only require a putter and don't cost a thing, it's wise to respect the tranquil environment known of sport while in this arena. If chatter and laughs are more your game the perhaps the driving range could be your thing. The driving range is a place where you can release the stress of finals without any concern for property. Golf courses provide hundreds of square yards of grass (and sometimes water) where you can whack those golf balls as hard as you want. There are even times when a man drives through the field in a protected vehicle to collect the various golf balls — pretend he's a teacher or an unruly student or that seriously tough exam and do your worst. The driving range is a great place to release some energy, practice your swing, and chat with some friends. Plus, it's not to far from the drink service and a small bucket of balls can cost anywhere from $4 to $6. So don't knock it before you try it. Golfing could be the unlikely hero of your next outing with friends. Try something new, and get out to the greens this summer. If you don't have the balls, you can buy some there. Four players earn A ll honors Sandberg pitcher, Williams Coach of Year Softball pitcher Brenna Sandberg has been named the Association of Independent Institutions Pitcher of the Year for the second straight season, and this year three Cougars join her on the All-Conference Team. Head Coach Dave Williams receivedhis second straight Conference Coach of the Year award. Junior first baseman Alyssa Dronenburg, freshman second baseman Alex Miller, and freshman outfielder Derrisha Lacey all earned spots on the A i l . All-Conference Team, which was announced at Wednesday night's conference awards banquet in Carlsbad. Sandberg, a 2010 NAIA Second Team All-American, led the NAIA with 35 wins and 255.2 innings pitched. She ranks nationally in the top 10 in strikeouts (322) and earned run average (1.10). Dronenburg, who led the team with 9 home runs, earned her third straight All-Conference appearance. Expect the exceptional Miller and'Lacey to do the same. A J J .

Although I am far from a successful bowler, and do not bowl often, I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of the activity. Bowling is a versatile sport, because it appeals to both competitive participants and easygoing newcomers. "Granny" style throws, spin throws and approaches to the lane all bring amusement to the game. At the end of the day, I learned how to properly throw a bowling ball down a lane [without bumpers], lost a bet of who would win, and dis- covered a new victory dance.

Not far away, at Westfield's North County Fair in Escondido, the newly opened North County Tavern & Bowl serves up great pub grub and pints of cold beer for those over 21. Get your goofy bowling shoes on, grab good friends, and spend a couple hours of a summer day rediscovering the joy in the game.

While the CSUSM baseball team rose to unprecedented heights on Saturday, the Softball team, without warning, suddenly fell to earth. The baseball team reigns as A.I.I. (American Independent Institutions) champion. The Softball team is champion of the couch. Last week, the Softball team soared to #2 in the national rankings, with a 39-7 record. The baseball team, meanwhile, won nine of their last 10, which still left them#at 32-17, and out of the top 25 altogether. Baseball received 4 points in the May 3 poll. Softball got 648. Last week, the A.I.I. named Brenna Sandberg pitcher of the year, and named Dave Williams coach of the year. The baseball team was still named the Cougars. Last month, baseball entered April looking pedestrian, with a record of 18-12. The softball team entered April looking like Godzilla eating pedestrians, with a record of 29-5. Last year, baseball feebly bowed out of the All. championship, losing both of their games. Softball, led by perfect pitching from Brenna Sandberg, swept their side of the A.I.I. championship. Then they won a few games in the national championship tournament for good measure. But last week, the baseball team boarded a plane bound for Thomasville, GA, ready to take their place as the #1 seed in the conference tournament, cool and full of confidence. The softball team traveled only in a procession of cars, down Highway 78 to the CarlsbadMarriottoacceptawards. In fairness, the other softball squads traveled long distances to get to San Marcos. Most were as tough as hour-old ballgame gum, and they were ready. As usual, hardly anyone touched Sandberg, who allowed 4 runs in 3 games. But the pitching dominance of the opposition — for once — would be the Cougars's downfall, as the powerful San Marcos lineup managed only 1 run in both of their shocking losses to Simon Fraser and Houston-Victoria. Back in Georgia, pitchers might have well been replaced with pitching machines. The big bats of Johnny Omahen and Austin Coleman led the Cougars to 10, 21, and 10 runs in their three victories, but they never looked like sure winners. Yet victorious they were, escaping in a week- end firelight reminiscent of that last scene in Scarface, entering an unfamiliar field and gunning down Thomas University and Houston-Victoria (twice) to automatically advance to the NAIA national championships. Softball, meanwhile, was Tony Montana, powerful and prominent, landing shots and scoring a victory, but ultimately getting gunned down in thenown home. How could this happen? A t. the CSUSM baseball field on Saturday, there were no celebrations, no interviews, no answered questions. The hosts had left the premises. The championship field will be announced this week, but the golden girls must sit at home in suspense and wait for a phone call from the NAIA, wondering if the committee will choose them as , a at-large bid for the national tournament in Alabama. Any team ranked #2 nationally just a week before the decision should expect to be selected. But there are only 4 spots to fill. With this collapse, who knows? CSUSM baseball players will wake up this week and worry about the finals they must study for and the papers they will research and write, trying to maintain their focus in the midst of their excitement. Softball players will try to overcome the anxiety of the unknown, hoping to get one last shot. If their fortunes turn better than Tony Montana's, and they are given new life, expect nothing less than a championship effort. This was an accident. Coach Williams's team can beat anyone, and given another chance, it just might beat them all.

Originally, the tour featured many bands pertaining to the punk rock genre. Over the last few years though, the music scene of the tour has changed along with the constantly changing generation of attendees and the tour has night and each band plays about a 30 minute set that usually intertwines or shares the times of other bands on separate stages, giving visitors the opportunity to set up their own schedule of who they want to see. Some of the artists featured on this year's main stage are Gym Class Heroes, Paramore, The Devil Wears Prada, Jack's Mannequin and many more. Booths are set up on the tour's grounds where attendees tors could even meet up with the bands after their sets). The event has also taken opportunities to conserve and recycle with the Warped Tour Initiative, by saving on fuel for buses, encouraging guests to recycle for prizes and even using a solar-powered stage.

Screening their work at this year's National G.I Film Festival in Washington, D.C, "Blood We Shed," surrounds the lives of three injured Marines that recall their experiences in Iraq and expose truths about life on and «off the battle field. The Pride: What/who inspired you to create this film? Sebastian Maselli: I was inspired by the stories of the Marines that I have served with, they are the definition of toughness and determination.

"Thor" and "Fast Five" are already tearing up the box office, but The Pride provides a guide to the many other soon-to-be blockbusters that everybody's looking forward to this summer. "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" (May 20) The fourth film in the incredibly lucrative "Pirates" franchise doesn't star Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightley or any of the million subplots that plague the last two films, but it does see Johnny Depp's long-awaited return as good old Captain Jack. Even better, the beautiful Penelope Cruz joins Jack on his search for the fountain of youth, and the return of his frequently-lost ship, the Black Pearl. "The Hangover Part II" f (May 26) While it may seem hard to Fun Facts- " Autobots, roll O ptimus Prime voicecFb; top the comedic genius of the first film, "the wolfpack" is back for more, this time on a journey to find the younger brother of Stu's (Ed Helms) fiancée, who they lose in the middle of Bangkok after yet another night of drug-induced madness. A monkey, a Mike-Tyson face tattoo and a rumored celebrity cameo all factor into the mystery. "Green Lantern'' (June 17) "Green Lantern" has been hotly anticipated by comic geeks the world over, partially because the titular hero is the first DCcomics character beside Superman and Batman to get his own film. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, a playboy test pilot who becomes a superhero when he is given a powerful ring by an extraterrestrial and must use his newfound powers to protect Earth from the forces of evil. "Cars 2" (June 24) The first direct Pixar sequel since the Toy Story movies, "Cars 2 " sees Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) on a cros^-qpuntîy, toyp* to |he prestigious World Grand Prix, while his best pal Mater (Larry, the Cable Guy) gets caught up in a world of espionage and intrigue when he is recruited as a spy. "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" (July 1) While a worldwide success, the second "Transformers" film wasn't incredibly popular with critics, or Megan Fox for that matter, who left the production's third installment. However, the trailer promises some epic action that few will be able to resist, as the Autobots race to reach an important artifact on the moon before the evil Decepticons do. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" (July 15) To call the eighth Harry Potter film the most anticipated film of the summer would be an understatement, the most anticipated film of the past decade would be a more reasonable label. The final installment of the most successful film franchise, in history, picks up where the last film left off and promises to tie up all the loose ends, with lots of typically great performances and nonstop 4ctiony,ail in glojjous 3D. �C OUGAR G AMES 1 4 73 6 5 9 7 289 42 1 7 4 38 6 7 1 9 6 5 35 2 9 293 8 6 S UDOKU 5 3 I i AND CROSSWORD Is N p DPR AL 1 1U V |S B N sEE 0A0 McR H1 WsA uNp DME NRH 0UT SNU S A A 0 A R B p U S R L N 0 D p N S 1 C S U U R L A S M T 0 A s s E A R H L R X U P S M 0 F c c A T E 1 U 1 N F K N L R L 1 S W 1 M 1 N G T R U N K S 1 P U R 0 M G L G A V S P S S P 0 N R N U A S P 0 L F P 1 L F R S U N S C R E E N 0 S U 0 L T E A S B E N 0 A P U E R 0 0 0 T E S T U N 0 C 0 C M R p p H S R A D A L 0 C A N 1 P S H Mj T W B 1 K 1 N 1 E U 1 C H U S ummer Sun S ets B each f lip f lop Sun S creen Sun G lasses SPF F lip F lops T ropics R elaxing O utdoors V acation ""f ! i** * T he F air P ools H ot W ater P arks T an S un B urn Ice C ream S plash S and A loe C oconuts S wiming T runks B ikini P ina C olada 1 - �18 MAY 10TH, 2011 T HE PRIDE A&E "OFFCENTRE" DANCERS OWN THE STAGE C OMMUNITY, G LOBAL T HEMES R EPRESENT T HE T ENTH A N N U A L D A N C E C ONCERT N ANCY, R OSSIGNOL P RIDE STAFF W RITER to a medley of Western, Hawaiian and Latino music followed in "Jump!

T he. student-run stage production featured 11 works created by dance students and faculty. Participants chose their own genre, theme, costumes and music using elements and techniques learned in Choreography, „ Contemporary Technique, Global Modern Dance and Theatre Production and Design classes. Genres included a mix of ballet, jazz, street, hip-hop and global modern daiice, beginning with an emotive, contemporary piece called "Jar of Hearts." Dancers performed to the disjointed rhythms of Beats Antique in "UNO," a street dance with an urban flare. An energetic performance matic portrayal of a modern love triangle in "Bitter Sweet." Two impeccably timed, lively dances picked up the pace just before intermission in "Le Jazz Hot" and "Creature of the Night," a sexy burlesque combination of works to music by Cher, Queen Latifah, Marilyn Monroe and Christina Aguilera. The mood turned somber after inter mission in "The Red C," a work dedicated to thousands of dolphins slaughtered in Taiji, Japan, by a group of six choreographers and dancers. With a video running in the background from the 2009 docu- mentary "The Cove," dancers moved fluidly about the stage like a community of dolphins ending in agonizing death. In "Tribute to Tagore," Dance 320 students performed pieces to a collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). Born in Calcut- ta, India, Tagore was the first Asian to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 as a poet, novelist, playwright and visual artist. Tagore challenged traditional Indian dances, according to the "OffCentre" program, by focusing on "naturalistic expression of human emotional experience." In the first dance recognizing a collection of ppems by Tagore, dancers moved around the stage with tea lights in their hands, forming two symmetrical circles center stage, then merging together in a spectacular natural light show. A t raditional Indian harvest dance followed, inspired by Bengali folk music r epresenting seasons ; and village life, including traditional hand movements such as the "bird" and the "locust," dancer Chanel Bradley said. Two groups choreographed and _ performed beautifully in "Reflection" and "Trouble is a Friend" to music by Lenka. An ensemble of five energetic hip hop numbers with music by Rihanna, Sucka Free CJ, Ke$ha, Usher, and Pink completed the evening in the crowd-pleasing finale "World War You." �A&E THE PRIDE !?8®S®§B sat ® M 1 u M U2 MAY 10TH, 2011 • N EWS E DITOR When: Saturday, June 18 Where: Angel Stadium of Anaheim Time- 7 p.m. Etc: This Irish rock band, originally from Dublin, launches the -360" tour as a support of the highly successfully album "No Line on the Horizon."

One pivotal college experience is quite simple, not that expensive, and can (potentially) reveal a lot about you and the personalities of those you travel with: road trip. My limited knowledge of long-term travel has led me to one conclusive thought: road trips are made or broken by the music that accompanies them. You might get stuck with the annoying guy who hogs the chips or the relative who snores, but strategically placed tunes tend to fix most anything within the square footage of a sedan. Some songs beg for the road. I don't know what it is about me and Cameron Crowe films, but "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John as utilized in "Almost Famous" is practically anthemic in the context of a highway. Another Crowe movie, "Elizabethtown," with its indulgent use of the mix tape, uses John's "My Father's Gun" as another powerful tune with a resonating chorus. For some reason, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are the best representation of '70s music I can come up with. Along with Jackson Browne and James Taylor, road trip playlists will have that special bit of nostalgia combined with just damn good lyrics. Key tracks: "Helpless," "Sky Blue and Black," "Running on Empty" and "Fire and Rain " With every classic, there must be something modern for balance. Kings of Convenience, an electro-folk pop band, bring that special mix of composition and jive to playlists with songs like "I'd Rather Dance with You" and "Know How " Icelandic artist Bjork has a track called "All is Full of Love" that has as much electrónica as it does emotion. As for a playlist's requisite rock, Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You" is a must. [For the best vibe, use the live version off "How the West Was Won." All the imperfections make it sound fresh.] Although incomparable, The Black Keys have some purely rocking songs that are easy to listen to and almost pop-driven. Some of the band's road-ready tracks include "Do the Rump," "Everlasting Light" and "Thickfreakness." A few tunes for good measure: "Dress Looks Nice on You" by Sufjan Stevens, "All I Need" by Radiohead, "Ragged Wood" by Fleet Foxes, "Gray Stables" by Iron & Wine, "Natural Anthem" by the Postal Service, "Saturday Sun" by Nick Drake, "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young and "Hold Music" by Architecture in Helsinki. Of course, these are just my personal playlist standbys. Humor me. Although I know (and you can surely tell) that I haven't included all that I want to, there's one song I just couldn't feel right about leaving off a road trip playlist: "America" by Simon and Garfunkel. The lyrics portray the innocence of youth in an epic way, I'd recommend beginning the road trip with this track. I guarantee it will make you feel free. Good playlists have variety and feeling. They must be tailored to fit individual tastes but familiar enough to have the right energy. Enjoy the trip and absorb the music. No matter - how many miles you travel, it will go quicker than you think. �oto Courtesey of: Wikipedia II Paramount Pictures A NOTHER M M : SERIES HITS T HE B IG SCREEN " THOR" S UREfb BE T HUNDEROUS IN THE BOX OFFICE M ORGAN HALE^ip?

Money? Fame? Beauty ? No, it's information. For educators and future pedagogues, Jim Konugres, a master's program student at CSUSM, has created a new way to get that kind of power on the "Information Highway." Called the "Administrators World Wide Web Resource Site," it offers hyperlinks to top-notch educational homepages. It can be reached at h ttp:// coyote.csusm.edu/COE/admin~resource/index.html .The page offers 12 categories to browse in: "Reference & Research Sites," "Online Journals & Periodicals," Professional Organizations," "Special Education Resources," "Technology Resources," "ESL Resources," "Government Resources," "Unions & Associations," "Curriculum & Instruction," "Business Services," "Human Resources" and "Legal Resources." "Don't let the title of my web site fool you," says Konugres. "It's not just for educators. It's for anyone who wants to find excellent resources devoted to educational issues." Konugres got the idea to develop the homepage from his project in his Educational Administrative Master's Program. "It seemed like the most appropriate thing to do," he says. "The use of technology in our society is inescapable. You can't deny the fact that technology has become a prominent research and resource tool in the global 20th century society." Knougres gathered the 100-plus links for the page by receiving input from a broad range of educational practitioners. "The practitioners surveyed consisted of administrators from urban school districts, rural school districts, school districts of varying sizes, public and pri- vate schools, as well as districts with large, second-language populations," he adds. The page, which was recently hyperlinked on CSUSM's College of Education Homepage ( http:// www.csusm.edu/COE/), has received enthusiastic responses. Assistant Professor Mark Baldwin, a program co-coordinator who teaches Educational Administration, says Konugres has "bookmarked it for future reference." Konugres says he hopes visitors to his page will find it useful. "Because education is so important, I want people to have an easily accessible way to get information on it," he says.

By next semester, students should be able to kick back in an "outer" Dome complete with awning protecting an e xpanded c ement p atio and groundbreaking for a track and field facility paid for mostly by students will begin this summer. Both will help make the campus more than a place to simply attend classes. And this year's graduation activities have changed as well. Gonzalez directed the commencement committee to assess the annual event and devise methods for greater student participation, according to the vice president of Student Affairs, Francine Martinez, who also chairs the commencement program development committee. This year's commencement will certainly benefit from the committee's decision to open up the singer's spot to CSUSM s tudents, as w ell as f rom Gonzalez's clout, which helped to secure actor Edward James Olmos as the key speaker, f 1 p. \ * i 1P But, in its quest to improve the sendoff for the seventh and largest graduating CSUSM class to date, the committee also managed to stifle the students' most representative voice, that of the president of Associated Students Inc. (ASI), Joe Faltaous. In January, Gonzalez approved the committee's suggestion to replace the slot held for the past three years by the ASI president with that of a student speaker chosen by a panel made up of one administrator (Martinez), two faculty members, one alumnus and four students. Faltaous met with Gonzalez hoping to dissuade him from approving the s uggestion but t o no avail, Martinez said. (Faltaous had clashed with the university during the previous year on several issues, including the monopoly he believed Aztec shops held on campus, and CSUSM blocked his attempt to hire an outside vendor to provide a copy service for students.) The panel judged the prospective speakers on "delivery, clarity, and organization of content,'' Martinez said,, and read texts beforehand, not to stifle students' comments, but to determine if their words would^apply to all students.'' Faltaous auditioned for the slot but was not among the two students selected to speak. Instead, he will be allotted two minutes to introduce each speaker at the individual ceremonies, Martinez said. If the committee genuinely wanted to increase ^udsrit p artieip*^ event, why would it not allow Faltaous the opportunity to speak as well as the selected two student speakers? Tacking a 5 - to 10-minute speech onto the ceremony hardly^ would make it too long, considering that at less than 2 hours, it runs considerably shorter than the commencements at larger universities. Martinez said Faltaous' actions in December had nothing to do with the decision, and that she did not view him as an "extremist." "We're going to keep the ASI president in a prominent role," she said, adding that Faltaous would serve as second grand marshal. But by not allowing the ASI president, who is elected by students, sufficient time to deliver a thoughtful message, the university in effect has sequestered the voice of the student body, albeit in a discreet and diplomatic manner. Perhaps more intolerable is the idea that administrators and faculty play such a large role in selecting the student speaker, existing on a panel that should be filled only by students. The committee's notion that any speech might apply t o all students is ludicrous, and smells an awful lot like censorship. Political correctness taken to the extreme is not politically correct. The panel should not insist on deeming the speeches relevant for the same reason it wouldn't edit the speech of Olmos on May 23. UCSD officials have beejn under fire *on campus recently for invitmg House • Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has vowed to reference the alleged sexual misconduct of President Clinton in each of his speeches, to be the keynote speaker. But they certainly did not insist on an advance copy of Gingrich's speech. CSUSM officials should take a lesson from that and not insist on screening the speeches of its own students.

Yolanda Barraza, internal vice president-elect, said ASI needed t o create more representation, for a broader range of majors, than in the past year. According to current ASI President Joe Faltaous, ASI achieved several important goals in the past year, the most tangible of which was the Jan. 12 opening of the Early Learning Center, which offers childcare to CSUSM students. Other achievements he cited were the boycott of Aztec Shops, extended laboratory and library hours prior to finals and the establishment of a more professional working relationship between ASI and the university administration. Faltaous said the outgoing ASI board had to be "rebellious" and "activist," since the university administration was not student-friendly at the beginning of the year. But, during the year, groundwork was laid for a more professional relationship in the future, he added. But some ASI members expressed skepticism at FaltaoJus, prediction. "The administration wants you to fix things, but they don't give you the power," said ASI Secretary Erik Dawson. "To them, students are just window dressing." According to Alimi, the new ASI board plans to create a smoother working relationship with the university and focus itself more towards meeting student needs in the upcoming year. "We have organizations fighting when they should be working together," he added. "I want to make sure board members concentrate on students and not on the organization itself." ASI Executive Director Darlene Willis echoed this sentiment. "Our goal is to empower students," she said. �Student S ummit provides valuable insights into education and politics BY JOSE CLEMENTE Last week, ASI President Joe Faltaous and I attended the California Higher Education Student Summit in Sacramento. The third annual meeting was a way in which students from the California State University system could get together and d iscuss i ssues t hat are relavent to students. It was three days of intense meetings, but also a time for student leaders to learn a lot from guest speakers. The first day, we heard presentations from our California State Student Association leaders and then went on to discuss the issue of CETI, the program that would create a private partnership between the CSU and companies such as GE and Fujitsu. Its main goal would be to have at least 25 percent of classes taught through the Internet by 2010. There was a lot of heated debate about whether students could learn more, or even the same, from a computer that they could from interaction with a professor. After that session, we broke into workshops that ranged from "How to Lobby," t o "Media Skills'' t o "Why Should You Vote No on Prop 227.*Our keynote speaker of the day was California Secretary of State Bill Jones, who spoke about the importance of voting and of an education. He said students were the "vision of the future" and that we must align ourselves with that vision to be successful in the next century. The next day, we started by participating in a discussion of Social Security. We l istened t o s peakers w ho warned that unless we reform the system, it will go broke and not be there for us when we retire. All the students took this very seriously, as this is an issue that will no doubt figure prominently in upcoming elections. The main event of the day was the speeches of California gubernatorial candidates. Although all had been in- vited, three of the leading contenders did not attend: Democrats A1 Checci and Gray D avis and Republican Dan Lungren. D emocratic Rep. J ane Harman spoke about the need to f inance education and the need to existing problems of the CSUs, among Qther topics. The debate heated up when it was announced that Harman would not take questions from students because of a prior engagement but would take them from the press, in the media room of the Sacramento Convention Center. After c hants of "Power t o t he s tudents," Harman finally agreed to take some questions from students; She was grilled relentlessly about her hiring of an illegal immigrant and about the purpose of her visit. Though many criticized her as doing the latter only to push her political agenda, she won others over because of her competence in handling the situation. Overall, the CSUSM delegation was impressed by Harman and the ideas she brought with her to Sacramento. The absence of Checci, Davis and Lungren did not improve their candidacies in the eyes of students. The third day gave students a chance to lobby their state assemblymen and their senators. The CSUSM delegation lobbied the politicians on behalf of the education bond, which is so important to our school. We also touched subjects such as Proposition 227, Operation Gatekeeper and the current CSU budget. All the politicians were receptive to the delegation. Overall, the trip proved to be a way in which student leaders from throughout the CSU system could discuss issues that can help out all students. Next year, the summit will be held at San Luis Obispo and I would encourage any student who is interested to attend. The experience is invaluable and the cost is low as Associated Students Inc. will cover the majority of it.

The people running the Student Housing Department at CSUSM may learn this soon. Take two young men, Harry and Shane, for example. They both live in The Islands apartment complex in San Marcos, part of which is set aside for CSUSM Student Housing. Harry lives in student housing; Shane does not.

Particularly when you're cramming for an exam. But, as few students may realize, some experts are now reporting that if you haven't had a good night's sleep, it's a lot harder for you to recall what you studied the previous day. Sleepy people, according to a recent report on CNN, are accidents waiting to happen, particularly behind the wheel of a car. When you get less than six hours of sleep a night, the experts said, you can expect headaches and mood changes at best. In addition, reaction times slow down and concentration is severely limited. Some sleep experts interviewed recently on television insisted that from the body requires nine hours of sleep a night, not eight, as had been recommended for years. But, in this age of 24-hour supermarkets, health clubs and drug stores, it is becoming a sleep-deprived society, the experts say, making it a dangerous society. In an informal survey on campus five students interviewed said they had driven while tired at least once recently. Four of them said they tried to stay awake by opening their windows or singing along to the radio.

The weather was beautiful that day — finally a really warm day, the semester starting to wind down — what better a day for having a drive to give life to others? How could that possibly create sadness? The sadness sprang from the odd juxtaposition that many were going tofindthemselves forced into that day. The fact that a noble cause was, yet again, going to remind some people that a simple fact of their lives leaves them in an awkward, and frequently stigmatized, position. The problem with the bone marrow drive is relatively simple. Bone marrow drives, like blood drives, have to be sure that transfers of marrow or blood are not going to result in infection of the recipient with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. To insure this, such drrves juse relatively simplistic biit cost-effective procedures to screen out members of social groups where AIDS occurs relatively frequently. Though protection or other strategies may result in no HIV infection for many members of these groups, anyone who is a member of the following three groups are specifically excluded from blood or bone marrow donation: 1) any male who has been sexually active with another male, 2) anyone who has ever used a needle to take recreational drugs, and 3) any female who has had sexual activity with a male who falls into one of the two previous groups. While no solid estimates are available, these three excluded groups could easily represent 1 out of every 10 people on campus Thus, for a sizeable number of students, staff, and faculty, such drives put them in an awkward and discomforting position, Signs all over campus suggest 'do the civic Super Single: thing, be tested for giving marrow'. And, wellmeaningfriends,professors, and campus staff personally push them to get tested. What do people falling into one of the excluded groups do? It sounds easy to simply say 'no', but how easy it is to say W in the face of a push for doing your 'civic duty? As an openly gay male and a professor, I am comfortable with the awkward situations that I faced that day when people asked why I wasn't wearing one of the stickers indicating that I had been tested. I simply said "I'm not allowed to give", and on one occasion used it as a point for education about public health and stigma. A student that I know, however, reported much more discomfort with feeling excluded simply based on the fact of having once had a sexual partner who turned out to have used a needle for taking drugs. Unfortunately, many are left in a position like hers of either having to 'come out' and possibly educate their friends (and maybe lose some), or of appearing to be not mindful of their civicduties. Possibly even more damaging is what happens to the few who walk in with their friends to be tested, not knowing that their membership in one of the three groups means they are not allowed to give. What do they go through when handed the questionnaire and find that they must leave, without showing any signs of having given? The civic responsibility of the bone marrow drive is a good and noble cause, and I strongly support the campus for being involved in such things. But, I also feel that such drives should be prepared for, and attempt to address, the likelihood of unintended but emotionally harmful consequences. Not only would this ease the situation for members of the groups mentioned above, but would also be helpful for those who do not give for other personal, physical, or religious reasons.

"1916" is a portrait of the Irish struggle for independence in the early years of the twentieth century. The novel opens with its central character, fifteen-year-old Ned Halloran, aboard the doomed Titanic on its way to America, where Ned and his parents plan to attend the wedding of Ned's older sister. The parents go down with the ship, but Ned survives and goes back to Ireland, a boy who now knows that existence has "treacherous and shifty borders." In Dublin, Ned comes under the influence of the Irish poet and destined martyr Padraic Pearse, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Provisional Government during the Easter Rebellion of April 24, 1916, when the Irish nationalists, calling for severance of all ties with Great Britain, fought a doomed but gallant battle against their far-stronger, foes. Llywelyn keeps Ned close to the action in the same way that Herman Wouk used Pug Henry in "The Winds of War" and Leo Tolstoy used Prince Andre in "War and Peace," placing their main characters alongside men who were instrumental in making history, Llywelyn drops names that will be familiar to anyone who has followed the Irish struggle—James Connolly, Michael Collins, Joseph Plurikett, Thomas MacDonagh, Emmett Smith, and many others, a virtual who's who of Irish pugnacity, patriotism and rebellion. The narrative moves slowly, taking Ned through a rite of passage from 1912 to the cataclysmic 1916 Easter Rising battle, which doesn't occur until the final chapters. The last 2 0 chapters (of 60) contain Llywelyn's best writing and alone are worth the price of the book. In the early chapters, Ned becomes part of the gathering storm, while his sister Kathleen, living in New York City, is cut off from the action and becomes a symbol of Irish impotence. Kathleen is married t o a man s he doesn't love. She is depicted as an "unawakened" woman, whose passions would better serve the Irish struggle than the role of wife to an overbearing husband. When Kathleen rebels she is beaten down (figuratively) and forced to stay with her conqueror. She eventually falls in love with a priest named CSUSM Father Paul. The Kathleen and Father Paul sections are authentically rendered by a novelist who understands the demands of the heart and the rationalizations people give in order that they may possess "forbidden fruit." Father Paul finds himself losing his "lonely struggle" for celibacy, while Kathleen continues a rebellious war against her husband and against a religious moral code that insists on sex for procreative purposes only." These segments parallel Ned's own conflicted love affairs and his increasing involvement with the rebel movement in Dublin. Further in the story, Llywelyn recounts numerous British atrocities and the depressing lot of a people struggling for subsistence in a country they cannot call their own. Llywelyn's historical lessons outlining British outrages from the twelfth-century to the twentieth create a lingering distaste for the way the conquerors, in effect, either slaughtered or enslaved the Irish, believing that only brute force could civilize them. By the eighteenth-century Irish beggary, homelessness, infant mortality, malnutrition and death-dealing diseases were epidetoiic, prompting Jonathan Swift's satirical essay, "A Modest Proposal," suggesting that Irish babies were dying in a useless fashion, and it would sbe much better for the British to buy them and eat them, "a delicious, nourishing and wholesome food" purchased for as little as ten shillings. To be sure, Llywelyn's Ireland is not as harrowing a place as Swift described, but it is profoundly abused nonetheless and the Irish plight is rendered effectively enough that most readers will sympathize with them and want them to repay the iron-handed, parasitical Brits in kind. There is no attempt at understanding the British point of view, which may be a flaw in Llywelyn's account. She tells us herself that life is not a black and white affair, but rather filled with shades of gray, "And are there not men oil the other side . . . is not their version of truth as real to them?" "1916" is fighting a war with its need to plot events as they happened and also portray compelling figures that can carry the weight of the history they are experiencing. Llywelyn's strength as a writer is not to be found so much in creating complicated, three-dimensional ' S human beings as in her ability to follow a course, sewing it seamlessly into what must have been a daunting array of historical notes. Occasionally the existence of her copious research calls attention to itself as when she insists on bringing up the nineteenth-century Irish famine which sent millions of Irish to early graves and millions more to American shores. The discussion of this sad history is given in a dialogue between Ned and another fifteen-year-old boy and the conversation is a conversation of notes, rather than of teenagers telling each other what they know. For such a s easoned writer Llywelyn can be curiously flawed at times, writing lines that are jarringly formulaic—"He understood what she was feeling and opened his arms. She folded herself into his embrace like a bird settling into its nest. They stood holding each other, letting their bodies do the talking." But she can also write lines that are immaculate—"The other Lancers lay dead at the foot of Nelson's Pillar. High above them the admiral stood impervious, though his nose was freshly nicked by a rifle B ullet.... [A woman] seated herself on the shoulder of a dead horse and patted it solicitously, then burst into raucous song." To Llywelyn's credit the latter descriptions are more prevalent than the former. She weaves the tapestry of her story with intelligence and skill and gives us access to a period when the bullets flew and patriots gave their lives for the ideal of freedom, not knowing thatfromthe ashes of their martyrdom "the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland" would be acknowledged and an Irish Republic born. �A rts & E ntertainment I n G od's H ands" a p icturesque t ale a bout n othing B Y SCOTT BASS Recently, I convinced my wife to in- end up in Hawaii for the mother-of-allterrupt her daily work schedule and swells.

Myfirststep landed directly on a putting green; that is, an artificial putting green, complete with several holes andflags,putters and balls supplied. Here, would-be golfers can practice their putting stroke while waiting for lunch or dinner. On one side, tables line a brick patio around the s id§ of the green for those who just want to watch. On the other, there's a quaint, naturalwood room that resembles a clubhouse. I almost looked for a starter instead of a waiter. Old golf clubs line the walls, a niblick (pitching wedge) with a hickory shaft and a Stenectady putter from 1913, along with a variety of golf memorabilia. There are pictures of the legends of the past to today's legends in the making. St. Andrews Golf Grill was the concept of owner Jim Ileitis, a former golf professional and teaching pro. Feltis adopted the name from the Royal & Ancient St. Andrews Golf Course in Scotland, considered the Mecca of the sport. Unfortunately, though the atmosphere is birdie quality, the food is a bogey at best. The "scratch player" entree consisted of grilled turkey breast covered with jack c heese b etween t wo s lices of toasted wheat bread. It was bland and was served without lettuce or tomato. The "Babe Chips" on the side looked and tasted somewhere between a thin steak fry and a thick potato chip. I washed them down with a cold iced tea. The starter, uh, server, brought me my check, which totaled $7.91. That wasn't too bad, but considering the plainness of the meal, I felt I overpaid. All the items on the menu have names pertaining to golf. There was the "Caddy Shack" burger, char-grilled on a wheat bun for $5.95. On the dinner menu, there was the "Torrey Pines" primavera, fresh vegetables served on pasta, with a salad and "Babe Chips" on the side for $9.95. The appetizers were named after famous g olfers, i ncluding t he "Lee" (Trevino) c hili-pepper p oppers for $5.95 and the "Tiger" (Woods) chicken tenders for $6.95. A variety of beers are offered on tap, including Guinness and Sierra Nevada. Pints are $ 3 during happy hour (4-7 p.m.). Basically, St. Andrews is a sports bar, complete with pool table in the back, several TVs and, of course, a video golf game. Overall, it's as a fun experience. But don't go for the food, go for the green!

Fifteen Cougars qualified for the NAIA Nationals out of a forty-person team roster. Junior Kris Houghton qual­ ified for the Nationals in the Men’s 5000 Meter Run with a personal best and school record of 14:26. Katherine Niblett, a Soph­ omore, ranks 9th in the NAIA and received her qualifying mark for Nationals by four seconds and her personal best in the Women’s 5000 Meter Run by over 40 sec­ onds. Head Coach and former Olympian Steve Scott set a goal in the beginning of the season to have at least seven team individ­ ual qualifiers for the nationals, yet an astounding fifteen quali­ fied. “If you set the bar high, people respond,” Coach Scott insists. “Everyone that is going has a legitimate shot at being an All-American. If we bring back seven All-Americans, it would be T he E uro and You: Im plem entation o f E urope’s N ew M onetary System a tremendous feat for our Univer­ sity,” Scott said. There will be one last oppor­ tunity for additional runners (who have not qualified) to meet the standards for the Nationals at the Claremont Classic on the week­ end of May 11. In order for a runner to qual­ ify, they must achieve a certain standard. An “A” is a score that automatically qualifies the runner for the NAIA Nationals and a “B” is a provisional qualifier. “There are still five people that are capa­ ble of qualifying and have a good chance, “ Scott explained. In previous years, Coach Scott would have taken three men and three women who made the B provisional standard to the Nationals, consequently “with budget cut backs we decided to only take the automatic qualifiers and no provisional,” Scott said. Robbie McClendon is a pro­ visional qualifier for the Nation­ als in the Men’s 1500 Meter Run and 3000 Meter Steeple Chase as a junior. “This weekend I have a good chance qualifying,” said McClendon. “Most people don’t know that we have one of the best teams in San Diego. It would be good for people to cheer on some good competition and come out and watch. (The team) has a lot of different people that make it fun and exciting. We have a good time out on the track. Having a good time makes it so much better to go out and run.” NAIA qualifiers are Renee Mac Donald, a senior; juniors Omar Zavala, Anthony Blacksher, Amy Cutshaw, Lucy Downey, Kris Houghton, Jason Williams, Brian Sullivan, Jes­ sica Walker; sophomores Andrea Jackson, Abril Jimenez, Kath­ erine Nibblet, and freshmen Tiffany Lowrey and Autumn Wright. Resource Fair Brings Community Together Before and After By EMILY KELLEY Pride Staff Writer By SYBILLE HERWIG Pride Staff Writer More than 50 students and commu­ nity members flooded the Dome when the German Club presented special guest speaker Dr. Michael Wolff, Coun­ cil for Press Affairs of the German Consulate General in Los Angeles last Monday. Wolff lectured and discussed Europe’s new currency the Euro, and its economical and political implications, as well as social changes that followed the implementation of the new money. Welcomed by Astrid Ronke, German Studies professor and faculty advisor for the German Club and Dean Wil­ liams from department of Arts and Sci-. ences, Wolff introduced the Euro by handing out some banknotes and coins, so the audience could have an initial ‘hands-on’ experience with the new cash, its design and security features. 2>Article cont. on page 2 Top to Bottom: View f rom Science Hall Photo Alyssa Finkelstein and the concep­ tual image o f the new library - scheduled completion date - July I 18, 2003.

' Grape Day Park hosted a community resource faire Saturday presented by vari­ ous local establishments that provided infor­ mation and resources on childcare available to North County parents. With clubs, busi­ nesses, and organizations as diverse as Carl’s Junior and Habitat for Humanity rep­ resented, there was a veritable smorgasbord of information. Escondido Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler and Cal State San Marcos President Alexander Gonzalez officiated. Upon walking onto the downtown Escondido park grounds, one Of the first things North County residents noticed was that the local homeless population had been temporarily replaced by festive booths and a D.J. stand blaring the eerie strains of the “Teletubbies” theme song. By walking just a bit further into the scene, it became appar­ ent that happy, well-loved children were the theme of the day.

Later in the week, I received a telephone call inquir­ ing if I was free for lunch and if I was free, the president would like to take me to lunch. He had an appointment cancellation and thought lunch would provide a better, more relaxing atmosphere to talk rather than squeezing a bunch of questions into a timecondensed half hour in a formal office interview. I still had a few days to prepare and since I am a reporter and a student, I put a bit of time and thought into different questions I would like to ask President Gonzalez. At the same time, I tried to think about what aspects of his job and person are neglected or pushed aside due to other more so-called “important” issues. I wanted to take a different angle because I realized that Alexander Gonzalez is the head of the university we attend, I am an integral part of the student media (if I like it or not), and not only have I never met him but the univer­ sity is Changing rapidly, and we (the press) had not talked to Mr. Gonzalez yet this semester. I apologize for the digres$ion; I do not want to back pedal too much, and I don’t want to get bogged down in all the explain­ ing; I just want to tell my story. Anyway, I decided to not get stuck on the political and busi­ ness aspects of the job as presi­ dent of a university and rather focus on a person to person or a James to Alexander level. university to place trust in each I pushed politics and business person to make the appropriate choices given specific circum­ stances.

The banknotes and coins of the single Cur­ rency of the European Monetary Union entered circulation on January 1, 2002.” Although, since Jan. 1,1999, the Euro has been an institutional currency for banks and other financial institutions with a fixed exchange rate. Wolff said what an enormous task it was for the banks to exchange the money and that “funny enough, luxury goods like boats and big cars were suddenly all paid in cash in December” to avoid the exchange hustle. Every European, who did not exchange old currency until Feb. 28, 2002, now has to address the politi­ cally independent European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Germany to do so. He also addressed the amazing amount of 14.24 billion notes that had to be printed. “ If placed end to end the notes would reach to the moon 5 times forth and back,” said Wolff. He also gave the historical background of the Euro. He said, “The launch of the Euro was a combination o f a decades long process.” With the establishment of the European Monetary System in 1979, European currencies were from Grant Middle School, a professional juggler, dancers from Georgia’s school of dance, and a demonstration by representa­ tives from the Escondido skate park. “It’s just so nice to see people getting involved, the kids love seeing all these people their age doing cool stuff,” said one mother. “I get a chance to put a face on the word ‘community.’” linked together and by 1986 the Single European Act implemented a single Euro­ pean market, meaning one trade zone. Wolff said that Europe eventually achieved the ambitious goals set by a Treaty in 1992, which “called for full economic and monetary union by 1999.” To express the Euro’s global influence on economics, Wolff cited the Chief Econ­ omist of the L.A. Times James Flanagan, who analyzed the recent rise of the Euro and fall of the dollar as a signal for “global transition and a decline in global depen­ dence of the U.S. economy.” He said the Euro’s ambition is to create “the largest, most powerful economic area’’ in which political unification and one big trade zone will benefit European price stability and budgetary discipline. The design of the Euro was determined by a competition launched in 1996, He said the winner was an Austrian, whose work was selected in a public survey. This is the second time Wolff has come to speak at Cal State San Marcos. “We [the German Consulate] always like to come here and give students the oppor­ tunity to learn more about what is going on in Europe,” said Wolff. His enthusi­ asm about communicating the matter was shown by his ability to engage the audi­ ence in a lively discussion. T hom as Jefferso n Sm nnt T .x « r C ongratulations 2002 Graduates!

What Is Global Warming Anyway? By CHAD MITCHAM For The Pride Solar energy (sunlight) is responsible for all life on earth. This energy comes to earth in the form of visible light that penetrates the atmosphere easily. Once in the atmosphere, clouds and the earth’s surface absorb some of this energy. The rest of the energy is re-radiated by the earth’s surface as infrared energy. It is this re-radiated energy being trapped by molecules in the lower atmosphere that gives rise to the warming of surface temperatures on the planet, also known as the “greenhouse effect”. Without the greenhouse effect, much of life as we know it could not exist on this planet, including our life. Certain molecules are better at trapping heat energy than others. Most of the molecules responsible for the greenhouse effect occur naturally in our atmosphere in the form of gases such as water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, and ozone. For millions of years these gases have been formed, removed by natural processes, and reformed in a del­ icate balance, giving us the cli­ mate of our planet. The gases regulate the ratio of solar energy that reaches the earth’s surface to the amount that leaves the earth’s near-surface atmosphere (or troposphere) on its way back out to space. Humans disrupt this process by creating new greenhouse gases and producing, in too great of quantity, greenhouse gases that already exist. These gases add to the amount of radiated energy being trapped on its way back out. Most of the gases responsible for trapping heat occur as a result of the combustion (burning) of organic compounds, most impor­ tant to us, fossil fuels. When these fuels are burned they release (among other things) carbon diox­ ide and water vapor, both green­ house gases. Water vapor is regulated by the hydrologic cycle of the planet and is therefore mostly out of human control (unless we consider the human effects due to deforestation, etc.). Carbon dioxide only constitutes 0.036 percent of troposphere gases naturally, but because of our ability to generate large amounts globally by using automobiles as ing to try and reduce the global emissions of carbon dioxide. The ways in which this will be done and who will do what to reduce rampant carbon dioxide emis­ sions and blatant disregard for the effects still lies buried in contro­ versy. Some countries agree that developed nations should fund developing nations in their effort to curb emissions during devel­ opment. Other countries agree that each nation should take care of itself. If developing countries are i left to fend for | | | themselves, it is argued that they have no choice but to follow in the footsteps of developed nations who themselves An argument surrounding global warming is whether the are responsi­ addition o f large amounts o f carbon dioxide will lead ble for most to significant climate alterations, and how the altera­ tions could affect the global population.

The existing forests need to be preserved as carbon “sinks” to trap C02 before it can trap heat. Most of these forests lands are tropical and are being burned (releasing C02 in the process) for farmland and pastures, and the wood being used as fuel for cook­ ing and heating. Those large for­ ests need to be preserved and new ones need to be planted world­ wide. New technologies need to be encouraged that reduce the dependency on fossil fuels for energy. And finally, yes finally, the inhabitants of the earth need to recognize their vital role in their own future and become involved in the process of conser­ vation and sustainability.

By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer “Corey” - B- . By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writqr As adolescent artists such as Lil Bow Wow, Lil Romeo, and Sammie continue to pave the way for young artists into the main­ stream, Corey may have captured the formula to follow in their footsteps. Corey’s debut album consists of 13-tracks utilizing the typical, radio/commercial, and R&B for­ mula, comparable to the work of Another Bad Creation or Imma­ ture. Some of the standouts were songs like “What?” “All I Do,” “MVP,” and “Ghetto Superstar.” The mes­ sages contained in his music talk about the percep­ tions of reality as an adolescent and romance issues such as love. In general he’s just having fun. In addition, cameo appearances by Lil Romeo, Lil Reena, Shaq, and Michael Jackson add flavor to his production. remy/hone You might want to turn the lights down low, get the hot bubble bath ready, and make sure you have enough candles before you pop in Remy Shand’s debut album “The Way I Feel.” The twisted collaboration of jazz, soul, and funk in this 11-track CD has critics pointing sim­ ilarities and influ­ ences to the works of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. However, the musical talents of Shand, exemplified in his work, show that he may not only have rec­ reated the wheel, but made it better. What makes Shand’s music go beyond original is the fact that he wrote all the songs, performed them, and played the fender bass, acoustic and electric guitar, a Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric piano, acoustic piano, clavinet, organ, alto and tenor saxophones, and all percussions to make what Although Corey’s material you hear on this phenomenal CD.

Newspaper Subscription Sales (619) 299-8368 �Students Speak Out about German Professor’s Departure Five years ago, Astrid Ronke came to Gal State San Marcos, as a part time professor, and started the German program here. German isn’t a popular language to learn in San Diego or at CSUSM. Why would a student take a language that doesn’t guarantee it will allow you to complete the lan­ guage requirement for gradua-r tion? The answer is the innova­ tive teaching methods and vibrant persona of Frau (as she is affec­ tionately referred to by her stu­ dents). Astrid Ronke has built a program to be proud of. Small as it may be, the German program has had as many as 70 students and 4 courses. Frau acts as faculty advisor of the German club, one of the more active clubs at CSUSM. She also wrote the proposal for the newly passed German minor. Her per­ sistence is why students take her class, and her style is why they stay. Students can easily tell between professors who care and those who don’t; she is one who cares, and we appreciate that. Her students nominated her for the Brakebill Distinguished Profes­ sor award. Some have asked her to write their recommenda­ tions because she is the one who knows them best, and others have asked her .to hand them their diploma because she is the one who inspires them most. We will miss you Frau. Your departure is hard for us, because it wasn’t on the best of terms. It left us wondering, how could someone we respect so much be so disrespected? That is the life of a part time professor without a PhD, even if you have built a program from the ground U P* Frau fought for classes all along the way, in order to make the program grow, to allow stu­ dents to continue their studies, and in hopes that she would some­ day see one of her students gradu­ ate with that German minor. I have had the pleasure of “Students can easily tell between professors who care and those who don’t; she is one who cares, and we appreciate that.” working with Frau Ronke as VP and President of the German Club. Through her efforts, CSUSM has been brought a little bit of the German culture. We have seen BWW, Bratwurst, and German cinema hits. We have heard the sounds of traditional German car­ nival bands, and DJs spinning German rap and techno. The German consulate general has come to campus twice to speak, once on the 10-year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and during Europe’s historic change­ over to the Euro. Frau, we will miss you. A PhD you have not, but our hearts you most certainly do. Thank you for you passion and dedication to teaching. Most of all, thank you for giving us the gift of German. Frau, I cannot say it enough; you will be missed.

I was not at the event, so perhaps I don’t have a complete picture of what happened, but it seems to me like the reporter could be guilty of doing exactly what she wrote out against. Thank you for giving stu­ dents a place to voice their opin­ ions. A. Nick Roest, Student Professor Ronke will remain in my memory as one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Her enthu­ siasm, her involvement with her students and her incredible gift of teaching are unsurpassed in my academic experience. In my opin­ ion, Professor Ronke was a far superior teacher to any of the pro­ fessors I’ve had with Doctorates. And after all, being an effective teacher is what really counts. I know she’ll find a better place than Cal State San Marcos, one that will give her the respect, To the Editors: regard and rewards she deserves.

No decision comes from individ­ uals or targets individuals. • In making decisions, the Department acts out of con­ sensus and has as its par­ amount concern the highest quality education for our stu­ dents. • A terminal degree is a required basis for tenureline positions at Cal State San Marcos (not a departmen­ tal requirement). In the case of the Dept, of World Lan­ guages, the degree is a Ph.D. This requirement guarantees that Cal State San Marcos students get top-of-the-line instruction by experts who, unlike adjunct faculty, are consistently and systemati­ cally reviewed by peers on their teaching, plus their schol­ arship, research and/or cre­ ative activity, and service to the University and the com­ munity. Tenure and promotion is not guaranteed for tenureline faculty but an end-result of a rigorous review process that demands excellence in all performance areas. • Since its inception, the Department of World Lan­ guages and Hispanic Lit­ eratures has endeavored to hire tenure-line faculty for all the languages it offers. It has recently completed the search for a tenure-line fac­ ulty member who will ensure the permanence and growth of German on our campus at a time that German programs are on a decline in enroll­ ments and institutional sup­ port nationwide. » L e tte r cont. on page 7 �io Possible Solutions for io Complaints By GEORGE BURGESS JR. Pride Staff Writer 1. The Computer Lab The computer lab and class­ rooms smell like feet, that includes my feet. Please, can we get some fresh air around here? I understand there are safety and maintenance hurdles to overcome with the windows, yet I fail to see how opening a window is enabling suicide. Can we try sui­ cide prevention classes; maybe increase our awareness of the signs that indicate suicidal thoughts? Does locking win­ dows, which creates hot and stuffy classrooms, eliminate the fifty other places on campus one could commit suicide? Preven­ tive education might serve to be more beneficial both on and off campus, while creating a more bearable and less conta­ gious environment. As for the computer printing system let’s cut our losses and move on. It is slow, unreliable and inefficient. There are only two possible reasons why it’s still in existence. One, the people with the authority to make pos­ itive change don’t realize what a disaster printing is, or two, they don’t care about the massive inconvenience it is to CSUSM’s students. The solution? EZ print. Track our printing and send us one easy bill at the end of each semester. At the bare minimum, install a change machine in the computer lab and freshen it up. Is that really so much to ask? 2. Parking I’ll give three to one odds that sometime over the next two years an expensive new parking proposal is implemented. It will most likely be slipped in for a vote right after a break or summer recess, before we can rattle our cages in protest. This is exactly what took place over winter break and came dangerously close to happening. The solution? Hold dear to the fact that future construction costs are not our responsibility and demand University interven­ tion. Parldng Services is a pri­ vate organization that can’t match the University’s growth without blowing the cost of parking into the stratosphere.

There are only two Jedi left when the first Star Wars starts, Obi-Wan and Yoda. Unless the rest of us went on vacation, we’re dead. I just hope I have a great death scene. That’s what acting’s all about —dying great!” “George has told me nothing. Absolutely nothing,” said Hayden to entertainment reporters at Skywalker Ranch, Lucas’ home. “I’ll have more mechanical parts in the next one for sure. I’m told I might get to sport the dark helmet. I’d like to kill Mace Windu. I love Sam. He’s supposed to be one of the most powerful Jedi.” But for the fans that fell for Padme and the romance of EPII, prepare for quite a difference in EPIII. “I’m going to be with child,” said Portman. “The next one, according to George, is going to be a trag­ edy., It’s going to be sad, but I’m looking forward to having more to do.” Yet, EPII was no stranger to tragedy what with death and destructioq sent out by villains to for the parking dilemma. 3. Smoking Many of us love debating about this one, but it really shouldn’t be such a big deal. Someone, whether it is a student group or staff member, please revamp the locations of the smoking areas. We should give equal consideration to the rights and convenience of smok­ ers and non-smokers. Currently, there appears to be a lot of gray area regarding where it’s accept­ able to smoke. The solution? Mark the smoking areas as clearly as non­ smoking areas and hopefully we can put this issue behind us. 4. Attitude How many times have we heard that we as students aren’t getting involved and are apa­ thetic? Personally, I don’t believe this. Just because the actions of our organizations and individu­ als don’t make the cover of the USA Today does not mean, they are nonexistent. There are some true activists in our community who spend countless hours orga­ nizing and participating in a plethora of events.

In a beautiful dis­ play of seamless CGI (computer animation recently used in Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings} spe­ cial effects, viewers are treated to an incredible sight, a classic Star Wars duel between the evil Darth Tyranus and the Jedi Master Yoda. Yoda’s movements are so fast they almost become a blur as he jumps and fights in circles around Tyra­ nus. Never before have Star Wars fans seen a fight quite like this one. As viewers walk away from this film, they will begin to under­ stand how everything fits together. Episode II does a remarkable job of setting things up for how they will be in the later films. We start to see how the old republic will be defeated, how the empire begins to form, and how a young man named Anakin Skywalker starts on his path towards the Dark Side of the force that will ultimately turn him into Darth Vader.

This CD allows you to capture the old school, under­ ground hip hop joints that you probably didn’t pick up on vinyl or could find in the stores over a decade ago. The production work of DJ Fingaz uses a col­ laboration of blends, scratches and slams to hold this compi­ lation together. Likewise, the programming and music selec­ tion of songs keep you tuned in and attentive to see what he’ll play next. “Freestyle Session Mixtape Volume 2” is a good choice for the hip hop lovers out there or for music enthusi­ asts that want to take a musical trip into history. I’m sure that Volume 3 will be out soon. Graduation Blues So, there I was, sitting at my computer at home, working on several projects like all good little students at this point in the semester, especially when it is the last semester: three papers and a group presentation; fig­ uring out exactly who to send graduation announcements to* holding three different IM con­ versations at the same time with friends from local areas to Paki­ stan, and what should arrive in the mail today but something in what appeared suspiciously like an invitation envelope from our beloved alma mater. So, I’m thinking as I open this, “Who would be inviting me to something?” as if I was someone special at the univer­ sity. After opening this mis­ sive, a surprise beyond measure awaited me ! Did I say beyond measure? Well, I guess so, because I’ll never be able to figure out the cost of printing this item, includ­ ing the RSVP card, envelope, invitation and special insert, and who paid for it (was it the raised student fees or some special fund the president keeps stashed in his suit coat or something? I don’t know!). Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot to say what it was. Well, there in black and white (I think the official invitation was in offwhite eggshell, but what do I know? I’m colorblind) was an official invitation to the Com­ mencement Open House in honor of all of us soon-to-be graduates at Cal State San Marcos. Wasn’t this great? An official invite to bring my family and friends and show them around the campus where I have spent so much time and blood, sweat and tears (well, it sure seemed like it some of the time!) for the last few years. I would be proud to do that, especially since it was going to be an bpen house, which I understand to mean that there will be faculty and staff all around the campus with exhibits that my friends and family can talk to and all that kind of staff! Maybe even some refresh­ ments or something. Well, at least the Dome might be open. And then came the “oops!” I read the times and date of this wonderful event. Of course, I’m sure that ALL of you graduat­ ing seniors and post-graduates received one of these, so you don’t need to be told. But, for the sake of everyone, since we want to make sure that everyone is included as per the mission statement of good ol’ CSUSM, I’ll let everyone else know. The event is scheduled for Saturday, June 1, 2002, from 10 AM to 3 PM. Okay, okay. Hold on, now! Many of you out there in reader land will think that this is a good time for the graduates. And in years past, it just might have been. Of course, that was when graduation ceremonies were held on campus. Ah, and there’s the rub this year. Graduation is not on campus or anywhere close to campus this year. I would have to say that whoever planned this wonderful event didn’t quite think it all the way through. Be patient, dear reader, for I will explain. First, the gradua­ tion ceremonies for this year are being held in Del Mar, approx­ imately 30 miles away from campus. Has anybody traveled on 78 and Interstate 5 on a Sat­ urday lately, especially to Del Mar? While not as bad traffic-wise as a weekday, there is the perma­ nent slowdown when you reach La Costa, to say nothing of the delay at the 78/1-5 merge, or any accidents that might cause additional slowdown. And even though there is a minimal amount of surface street travel, there are still the delays caused by traffic and traffic lights. So, comfortably* one might expect at least an hour or more to make the transit from CSUSM to Del Mar. Oh, I need to wait for my friends and relatives also, hoping they don’t get lost. Since some of them may be from out of the area and not familiar with the freeway system in our area, it would be good to make sure they can keep up with me. A further delay, you say? Possibly. See, I’m trying to plan this whole event down to the last detail. So, keep in mind that 10 AM to 3 PM time frame. I would lik§ for everyone to attend this open house. Since I happen to be a Liberal Arts major that means that I am going to have to be at the Del Mar Fairgrounds at least 30-45 min­ utes before my ceremony begins, which is at 1 PM. Of course, that means giving myself (and family and friends, so we’ll stip­ ulate that they are all with me the whole time) extra time to find a parking place, after paying for it, of course, and then time to walk in from the parking lot and find out exactly where I am sup­ posed to be and to ensure that my guests get seated. Oh, did I mention that CjSUSM is a com­ muter campus, and that we all have to drive from some dis­ tance to the campus from some­ place? Now, I live in Fallbrook, and the fastest route I have found to the campus from my house takes an average 45 minutes to drive safely within limits that my guests can also follow. I have friends that drive in from up in Riverside County and down from Ramona and other distant places. And I want to leave time for my guests to get the full benefit of the open house. That would make the most sense, wouldn’t it? C’mon, admit it, you know how you hate being rushed around on a tour and how rude it is to only spend a minute or two talking to someone, like maybe your favorite professors who just might be at the campus. Won’t they? Sure they will! Unless they are required to be at the graduation ceremony. Gee, I wonder if the facili­ ties folks and police are going to be the only ones at the open house? Think they’ll just unlock everything and leave it that way? No? Guess not. Gotta pay that » O p im o n cont. on page 7 �Opinions The Pride Poor Journalistic Practices » L e tte r cont. from page 5 • When the Department offers a pro­ gram off campus, it requires that the instruction be of the same quality that students expect to get on campus, during the regular academic year. I hope that by considering the above, your readers will reach conclusions that were obviously not available to them by the poor journalistic practices of your Graduation Blues » O p m ion cont. from page 6 overtime. So, since I graduate at 1 PM, and I should leave the campus at approxi­ mately 11 AM, or no later than 11:15 to insure there is enough time to get through the traffic, find parking, walk in, locate everything, get the cap and gown on, check in, get anything else like an honors stole to put on your gown for the cer­ emony, and be ready to file into the cor­ rect spot (phew!), that leaves us about 1 hour for our leisurely enjoyment of the campus. Now, l ean do this, as can my guests. But, they won’t see much, nor enjoy some­ thing that the administration is hopefully going to make meaningful for the gradu­ ates and their guests. And don’t forget the seniors graduating at 9 AM.* They’ll be able to enjoy about an hour and a half of the open house if they rush right out after their ceremony ends to dash up the free­ way to the campus. Right? Actually, it looks like the ones who will be able to enjoy the open house the most are the Master’s candidates and those receiving their teaching credential since their ceremony doesn’t start until 4:30 PM. I salute you! You’ve put in more time at CSUSM than I have, so you deserve it! But, the invitation is to all of us. Gee, now that presents a problem. So, how can we rectify this? Maybe extend the hours of the open house? Start earlier and end later? Maybe. Hold it another day? Probably not. We know how things get etched in stone sometimes, especially something like this. Maybe we could writers. More importantly, as the paper of the university where I have taught since it opened to students, that The Pride will stay true to its name and set a better example as to what it means to exercise free speech responsibly and judiciously. Stella T. Clark, Ph.D., Professor of Spanish and founding member of the Department of World Languages and Hispanic Literatures change the location of the graduation cer­ emonies to someplace on campus, or at least close? I could suggest the football field, or even the soccer field. And they have the additional advantage of having free parking! Probably not. * We have discussed and protested, and presented and all that concerning having the graduation at the campus, and we all know the answers. Del Mar here we come! Well, maybe in the future there could be a little better planning for something like this. Maybe those of you who are going to graduate from CSUSM in the future can start planning now for better logistics, can start campaigning for more use of logic and common sense. Of course. I’m only a Liberal Arts major, with a minor in History, so that doesn’t quite qualify me, I guess, to make all those busi­ ness decisions that set things like this up that don’t make sense, and that waste tax­ payer dollars, and people’s precious time. Oh, didn’t I mention that I was a taxpayer? But that is another issue altogether. So, those of you that are going to be able to attend the Open House, I wish you well. Honest! Enjoy ! And those of you in the administration and facilities and faculty and staff, enjoy the small atten­ dance. It will make your job easier. Oh, and thank you for this wonderful invita­ tion to this spectacularly well-conceived event. Again. Unfortunately, like so many others, I’ll miss this last event, too. Ronald D. Hawkins Sr., Student 10 Possible Solutions for 10 Complaints »O p im on cont. from page 6 minority of people who have their hands in everything, while the majority of students bolt to their cars the moment class is over. Is that really so bad? Over­ all morale and school spirit are better than we give ourselves credit for. How many CSUSM shirts did you see today? The solution? Let’s stop the deprecating comments regard­ ing student involvement; they are inaccurate and counterproductive. If we/are currently involved in something, maybe we could try inviting a stranger to join us. Sounds cheesy right? The truth is I wouldn’t be writing for The Pride if someone hadn’t invited me to take LTWR 316. 5. The Book Store If you feel robbed after you sell your books back at the end of the semester, you’re not alone. I’m as broke as the next person and twenty bucks buys a lot of Top Ramen, however, I would rather eat my books than con­ tribute to a system which clearly cares more about profits than its students. The solution? Boycott the bookstore until it offers fair prices for book returns. Even better, let’s have our first CSUSM pep rally; in our bonfire we can bum our books in protest of the unfair sellback prices. If that’s too much for you because you’re strapped for cash, try Adams Ave. Book Row in San Diego. You may get a much better deal. 6.Class Schedule The only thing worse then opening a schedule and finding that the class you need isn’t being offered is having to pay two dollars to find this informa­ tion out. You may have guessed; I’m the cheapskate who accesses the schedule online. Charging for class schedules is an unwarranted slap in the face to students. It is just another way to nickel and dime students to death. The solution? Refuse to buy a schedule until they are free. Use the Internet instead. At least bury the schedule printing fees in our tuition. It’s a sad thing, but I’ve seen people hqve to borrow money for a schedule. 7. Graduate Students/Teachers Technically considered “adjunct staff members,” there are a number of graduate stu­ dents who teach General Educa­ tion classes at the University. In my experience, they are gener­ ally fresh, enthusiastic and very in touch with student issues, which is ironic considering they are paid poorly and don’t receive any med­ ical, or dental benefits. These unappreciated teachers can’t even get a staff parking spot. Tuesday, May 14,2002 7 CAMPUS SEAT “How do you feel about this year’s commencement b eing held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds?” By KATERI RODGERS Responses from some of our graduating seniors: “I think it’s great because the race track is nicer. There’s better parking. People will be coming from out of town and it will be good to see that area.” - Janet Shick, Psychology “No problems: There’s going to be a reception. My only concern is that J wanted my family to see the campus.” - Kami Tebyani, Business Graduate students who also teach generally work double the amount of hours they get paid for and have no union representation. Congratulations to the staff and the CFA on your new contract settlement, now let’s take care of your future colleagues. There is an old saying, which seems appropriate here, “personnel is your most valuable asset.” The solution? Increase their pay and get them some benefits, it won’t break the bank. At the bare minimum let them park with the rest of the staff. 8. Federal Holidays Honoring Caesar Chavez’s birthday is progressive but not when we disregard other federal holidays. This year’s calendar managed to avoid a major con­ flict, yet a new year is on the hori­ zon. Veterans Day, according to the 2002-2003 academic calendar approved on February 13, will be ignored along with Washington’s Birthday and Columbus Day. Lets face it, federal holidays are out­ dated, Christmas and Easter are religious holidays, Columbus was no saint and George Washington was a slave owner. Still, I would rather try my luck with die fed­ eral government than leave the holiday calendar up to any Uni­ versity’s staff. After all, in 1994 Martin Luther King’s Birthday was declared a federal holiday and I would imagine in time “At first I was disappointed when I heard it was going to be at Palomar because you won’t get the full expe­ rience. They’re going to do what they have to do. I just accepted it and moved on.” - Cleto Cortez, Human Development “I was fairly disappointed it can’t' be at a school where my family can see where I went. But I wasn’t going to go if it was going to be at Palomar.” - Amanda Kellogg, Finance Columbus Day will be removed from the list. To me that is prog­ ress. Meanwhile, the University is attempting to erase the 872,969 lives, which were sacrificed in the name of freedom and democ­ racy, between the Revolutionary War and the Gulf War. The Uni­ versity’s substitution is appar­ ently the lone fruit farmer and activist Caesar Chavez. Veterans are males and females represent­ ing every race, as opposed to one. Right now there are as many as 25,000 young American men and women deployed throughout the “Central Region” or Middle East, some who we know, will never return. Much like the hundreds of thousands of veterans before them, who for no better reason than wanting to serve their coun­ try, made the ultimate sacrifice. According to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs the veteran population was estimated at 25.6 million, as of July 1,1997. Nearly 80 of every 100 living veterans served during defined periods of armed hostilities. At the time, this number represented one third of the total U S population, and many are working on degrees here at CSUSM. Columbus Day; no! Thanks­ giving Day; yes. Does that mean that Spanish colonization was a bad thing and English coloni­ zation is something we should celebrate? Really, is our aca­ demic calendar any more socially enlightened than the federal holi­ day calendar? Disregarding federal holidays destroys the only established guidelines we have to go by; without them we transfer unbri­ dled authority to individuals who wifi naturally favor their individ­ ual race or organizations while disregarding others. How danger­ ous has that become in the past? The solution? Honor all the federal holidays. There is time and justification to do so. 9. Religious Tolerance We aren’t there yet folks, not racially, sexually and not even close religiously. I never thought I would see the day when the free speech area on campus would be suddenly changed in the middle of a demonstration. Religious intol­ erance is our biggest and most volatile problem. The solution? Everyday we might remind ourselves to seek objectivity and practice tolerance towards other religious groups. Regardless, of how wrong or dif­ ferent they may appear to us, we should try harder if we truly desire to evolve. 10.

SEGALL Pride Editor Student leaders from Cal State San Marcos were recognized Thursday, May 10, during the annual Student Leadership Awards Night at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. The host of the evening was comedian Carlos Oscar, who entertained more than 200 guests, including staff, their families, and students. The evening began with opening words from Dean Manship, ASI President. The first award presented was the On the Spot Recognition Award to Hedy Price. Vice President of Finance Stephen Garcia announced Michael Harrod as the winner of the award for the University Student Union Advisory Board Student Leader. Club leaders were also awarded, including Circle K's Olga Ramirez, the History Club's Stacey Helton, Parent Teacher's Tammy Rodriguez, The Pride's Claudia Ignacio, and the Victorious Club's Rita Reynolds. Awards were also presented to the American Indian Student Alliance's Ronnie Whitehorse, Anime Project Alliance's Penny Lanese* ~ Ballet Folklorico's Margarita Preciado, the French Club's Anna Gabriele, the German Club's Janet Williams, and M.E.Ch.A.'s Izabel Solis. Solis was one of few students who gave an acceptance speech for the evening, directing her words to her club members: "I'm not going to say, 'Si se puede,' because we know we made all of our goals a reality. Instead I'm going to say, 'Hasta la victoria siempre.'" The audience, who dined on a dinner of salad, rolls, and chicken and pasta, welcomed "joke" breaks from comedian Oscar during the two-hour long awards ceremony. A video presentation also showed highlights from past campus events, including Cesar Chavez Day and SpringFest. More leaders were recognized during the evening, including awards to the Accounting Society's Jennifer Weishaup, (Above) Claudia Ignacio won an awardfor her workfor The Pride.

Tutors are placed in the schools to assist the students with their studies and with college preparation. Currently the SASOP has 60 tutors/interns who work in 20 different elementary, middle, and high schools in North County. All of the tutors are CSUSM students, and Perez added, "We are always looking for more help." ^ One of the newest programs that the SASOP is participating in is the North County Outreach Symposium, or NCOS. According to Perez, the NCOS "brings all outreach services in North County together to discuss the types of programs currently being implemented, to which schools they are being offered, and to explore potential collaborative efforts." Another new program being offered by the SASOP is the LEAP program, which stands for "Lets Encourage Academic Performance." According to Perez, this program is a collaborative effort with Fallbrook Unified School District that entails summer coursework taught on campus by CSUSM professors, in addition to that taught in Fallbrook. "The goal of this program is to get the students to enter a rigorous course of study," said Perez. Some of you may have noticed the large groups of elementary students touring the CSUSM campus recently. They are part of the "I'm Going To College" program offered by the Student Academic Services Outreach Program, or SASOP, located off-campus in the medical plaza. "The goal of our program is to help underrepresented populations gain access to higher education," said Dilcie Perez, Assistant Director of the SASOP.

R YAN S ANDAHL Pride S taff W riter Cal State San Marcos recognized the community service efforts o f more than 75 i ndividuals and 20 organizations i n N orth County on Tuesday night before a packed house at the C alifornia Center for the A rts i n EscondidQ. A mong those receiving recognition d uring the seventh annual Celebration o f Service was 12-year-old Gidget Schulz, a sixth-grader at Park Dale E le• mentary i n Encinitas, who was honored f or distinguished service. For the past t wo years, Gidget has been helping homeless c hildren through a charity foundation called "Gidget's W ay" Using donated money she receives f rom the foundation, Gidget gives teddy bears to the homeless c hildren i n N orth County. " I used t o go d own to San Diego and I w ould see the homeless people there and I w ould c ry," said Gidget. " I thought I w ould give away teddy bears because teddy bears make me feel secure and I thought i t w ould give the homeless people security." To help raise money, Gidget made flowerpot pens and sold them. She now gets money through advertisements and donations to her foundation. She also has some o f her friends help i n her efforts. " I t hink this has made me a better person," Gidget said. "One o f m y missions is to help other kids do the same things I do." Other distinguished students included Jessica M ichalkiewicz o f V ista and C arli Zavaleta, a CSUSM student. Jessica aids kindergarten kids d uring recess and shows students around campus. Zavaleta is the director o f Precious C hildren's M inistry i n San Diego, a volunteer-based, nonprofit program designed for children that have been i n foster homes or that have drug-addicted parents. " I want to give back to God's children " Zavaleta said. " I learn f rom the kids. They are so f ull o f energy and joy. Here they develop s kills to help them cope w ith what they are going through." Zavaleta encourages people to do what they l ike to do and to serve others. " When you give to others, you receive more than what y ou have given them," she said. To a crowd o f honorees, friends, and f amily members, several presenters distributed plaques that recognized students i n a ll age groups for their community service. K GTV Channel 10's Leonard V illarreal was the master o f ceremonies for the event. A lso i n attendance was D r.

She just got out of a long relationship, and I'm not sure if she's ready to date again. Also, I'm not very sure that she is in any way attracted to me. I would like to ask her out, but I'm afraid that if she says no, it will make our friendship uncomfortable. What should I do? Sincerely, Conf us e d Dear Confused, If you're worried about your friend not being ready to date again, the best thing to do is not rush her or push anything on her. She'll need time to get over whatever happened in her last relationship. If you are nature will take it's course, and whatever will happen will happen. Just be patient. But if you can't handle the waiting, and you really need to know, then ask her out. See what happens. Whether the answer is yes or no, at least you will have the answer you've been stressing over. The worst that can happen is that you will get turned down. If she's a true friend, she won't let something like that make your friendship uncomfortable. You shouldn't either. Don't worry about it so much, and just ask. You never know what will happen. Good luck. S in c ere1y, The Psyche Fairy Have a problem? Write the Psyche Fairy at psychefairy@hotmail.com Letter to the Editors It seems ASI is a mock setting for students to get experience in business administration, except that they get to play with real money that real people worked hard to earn. Although the money is real, ASI can invent its investors because nobody is involved. A total of 245 students voted in this year's elections. Therefore, it is possible for ASI to interpret that 287,750 of the dollars they get to play with next year come from nowhere, because students don't care about who spends their money and how. If anyone has more of this extra money, and would like to give it away with no strings attached, it sure would make my life easier, You can contact me through The Pride at pride@csusm.edu.

Writing Studies By JEREMY ZAGARELA While Queer Theory, Gender Studies, Deconstructionism, Marxism, and Cultural Relativism are all subjects you will find discussed daily in the classroom at CSUSM, it's obvious that satire is not. Literature students can wax intelligent on the nebulous theories of Foucault and the incoherent ramblings of Derrida but fail to notice formal literary genres and historical facts. This fact was driven home to me after the response I got to my article, "College Changes You." Anita Brookner wrote, "Satire is dependent on strong beliefs, and on strong beliefs wounded." I have a radical proposition. Perhaps the hours and hours of theory you have been reading have really sunk in. If Jim doesn't have strong beliefs, then his beliefs can't be wounded and satire can't exist. Satire takes place when a small breach in ethics is taken and pushed to the extreme, making it both hysterical and horrifying, and if the murdering of innocent infants by the hundreds doesn't make you think, nothing will. My story was fiction, but the cultural sensitivity indoctrination of CSUSM made it impossible for most to see that. So join John Lennon and imagine a world. Go ahead: imagine a worfd with right and wrong, objective morality, personal responsibility - go against the flow and imagine a world where language actually means something and everything the theorists have been telling you actually means nothing. Most literary and cultural theories don't last five seconds "in the world", but they thrive in the university—ever wonder why this isn't the case over in the Biology Department?

Now that I am here, I see the problem is not getting any better. Last week, we had our student elections t nd our annual SpringFest. The SpringFest drew just a few Hundred students, and the elections only saw three percent of students vote. Unfortunately, I did not participate in either activity, and I really don't have many reasons. One thing I suggest could be a problem is insufficient advertising. The only way I found out about SpringFest was by reading a "Battle of the Bands" bulletin. It stated that the bands would be playing at SpringFest. Of course, the original date was rained out, but I didn't realize that until the next week's issue of The Pride came out. The elections were almost the same way. Every one running for office had their "Vote (name) for President," or "(name) is your best choice." Two problems were that there was little talk about when the elections were being held, and there was almost no competition between candidates. If there are two students running for the same position, there should be bright, colorful signs with catch phrases. It sounds very much like high school campaigning, but gimmicks do work. The least it will do is draw attention, which is the first step toward getting students to vote. The main problem is that students didn't vote or go to SpringFest. This lack of school pride makes me feel like I am attending an extension school. I am as much to blame, because I did not participate in either event. But I know that I should have helped to redirect our school's spirit. So on May 21st, at the Battle of the Bands, I will be there supporting our school. Cougar Pride.

The Rancho Bernardo Inn graciously hosted approximately 200 CSUSM students, faculty, and staff—serving them a dinner of chicken and poached salmon. Students were encouraged to attend the extravagant "suit and tie" affair at a cost of $15 dollars per student. Many of the club members in attendance were also given invitations for friends and family to attend the event. University President Alexander Gonzalez; Executive Vice President, Dr. Ernie Zomalt; Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Richard Karas; and ASI Executive Director, Darlene Willis, were also in attendance. Waleed Delawari, ASI President, master of ceremonies, commented that the awards event was "truly for the students." The first hour of the event awarded members of the Board of Trustees, members of the current administration, and past ASI presidents who also gave speeches that evening. Delawari honored the former ASI Presidents, Charles Ragland and David Alimi, Joseph Faultous, and President Elect, Dean Manship. Numerous plaques and statuettes were also handed out in honor of student government leadership. The keynote speaker, Dr. Ernie Zomalt, was among the honorees that received awards for his role in establishing CSUSM student government. The last half-hour of the event honored a majority of campus clubs, including Greek institutions, Dance and Arts, MEChA, and the Victorious Club. The event seemed to go off without a hitch, until ASI went to award a member of the Victorious Club--a student organization that works to achieve equal rights and privileges for the physically challenged. However, it appeared that ASI overlooked wheelchair access to the stage, unknowingly preventing Penny Lanese from receiving her award in a timely manner. Prior to this incident, Delawari had jokingly remarked to the audience, "If you don't claim your awards, we get to scratch the names out and keep them." After the award ceremony ended, congratulations and photo opportunities began. Students were able to shake hands with President Gonzalez, Dr. Zomalt, Dr. Karas, and Darlene Willis. Students also danced to the music provided by a DJ and guests mingled as the event drew to a close around midnight.

Cal State San Marcos Goes Caribbean Victor Mireles PRIDE STAFF WRITER The end of the spring semester was given a rousing sendoff with the 1st Annual Caribbean Carnival that took place Wednesday, May 10 outside the Dome. 95 students and volunteers dressed in elaborate costumes in the style of a Trinidad Carnival, and danced and paraded to the beat of a number of Caribbean style tunes in two groups, "Ecstasy" and "Fantasy." Murray Moran a member of the Ecstasy group said, "We tried to recreate the celebration on a miniature scale. The real one has thousands of people."

SCVLPTVRE TRIGGERS CJLMPVS CURIOSITY PRIDE STAFF WRITER Sonia Gutierrez ''Nobu in a Dream" is expected to be on display until the end of this semester. On Wednesday, May 10, an anonymous plastered sculpture magically appeared overnight on Founder's Plaza Courtyard. The physical anatomy of the nude piece suggests it is male. The faceless figure stands in a rigid position with clenched fists and is approximately 5'9" in height. Although the sculpture may not resemble a Rodin or a Michaelangelo, it definitely captivated the attention of many CSUSM students. On Thursday night, from afar, an unidentified student screamed, "Look! It's the naked white man!" It turns out that the "naked white man" is a creation by CSUSM student, Hironobu Shimomura. The piece, titled "Nobu in a Dream," is a project for VSAR 320: Public Expression in the Arts. Hironobu bases his project on his unforgettable recurring dreams. "This dream was situated at public places, such as school ground, classroom, and town streets," recounts Hironobu. Even though he wore clothing in the beginning of his dreams, by the end of them, he was naked and feeling intense emotion. "I would like to make this dream sequence come alive at this campus" writes Hironobu. Nails, newspaper, plaster, wire, and wood hold the piece together and a wooden skeleeton lies underneath the plaster. However, based on Hironobu's sketches, the piece remains incomplete. Hironobu's project proposal and sketches are on display in the hallway on the second floor of ACD. In his proposal, Hironobu explains he will use sandpaper and a wood carving tool for the sculpture's detail. Plastered clothing, such as pants, shirt, and shoes, will also accompany the piece. Hironobu will also use a slide projector to project images onto the statue for his class presentation. The VSAR 320 course, taught by Professor Kristine Diekman, examines public art, government funding for the arts, First Amendment and censorship, and historical and social context through various case studies. "Nobu in a Dream" By Hironobu Shimomura Here Comes The Sun: Be Informed about Skin Protection for the Upcoming Summer Months Kimberly Valentini and Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITERS The sun has peeked through the clouds during the last few weeks of classes and many students have taken the opportunity to sit outside the Dome and absorb the rays. Stephanie Dail, a CSUSM junior and sunbather commented, "I know I'm at risk for skin cancer, but I just love being in the sun." It is evident from the great amount of sunbathers outside the Dome, that Stephanie is not alone in her opinion. May is Skin Cancer Awareness month. However, many students may be unaware of the damaging effects the sun can have on their skin and unaware of how to protect themselves. Skin cancer appears in the form of moles on the skin. Moles that change in size, shape, and/or color should be checked by a doctor right away. The American Cancer Society suggests to check for any changes in mole patterns, freckles, and other marks on your skin. Signs of skin cancer include: a difference in the edges of mole possibly ragged or notched,, one half of the mole may look different than the other, also watch out for mixed colors in moles such as shades of black, tan, or brown, and sometimes spots of white, red, or blue. Protection from the Sun Rays What is Skin Cancer? According to Heath Net, one out of every seven Americans will develop skin cancer during his or her lifetime. The American Cancer Society reports that basal cell cancers account for 75% of skin cancers and melanoma accounts for 4%. According to the American Cancer Society there are two types of skin cancer: nonmelanoma and melanoma. Nonmelanoma skin cancer is broken up into two classifications: basal cell cancer, which can be found on the head and neck, and squamous cell cancer which can found on the face, ear, neck, lips, and backs of the hands. Melanoma mainly appears on t he upper body of fairskin men and on fair-skin women's lower legs. However, melanoma can appear in other places of the body. Melanoma cancer is much less common than the basal cell cancer, and is almost always curable in its early stages. running to the tanning salon is not the solution. The best defense against skin cancer is to protect yourself and know the facts on cancer. Listed below are some guidelines from Health Net for protecting yourself from skin cancer: •Avoid being in the sun during peak time, between 10:00am and 2:00pm. •Be sure to use sunscreen or sunblock with a SPF of 15 or greater every time you're outdoors; even when it is cloudy outside, the sun's UV rays can pass through the clouds. •Cover every part of your exposed body with sunscreen, reapplying every two hours and each time you get out of the water. •Take a break from the sun every 20 minutes if it is possible. •Stay in the shade or wear protective clothing when you're not physically active. For more information on skin cancer, contact The American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 orwww.cancer.org; the American Academy of Dermatology at 1-847-330-0230, 888-462-DERM (3376), or www.aad.org; the National Cancer Institute at 1-800-4-CANCER or www.nci.nih.gov; or the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship at 1-888650-9127 or www.cansearch.org. Malignant Melanoma UV radiation from sunlight and tanning booths is the source that puts people at a greater risk for all types of skin cancer. Being exposed to the sun without protection puts everyone at risk for getting skin cancer. Cathy Grenett, Clinic Aid II, from CSUSM Student Health Services said, "We encourage all of our students to use sunscreen and to have dermatology test done frequently." The American Cancer Society predicts that in the year So when you are out in the sun the rule of thumb should 2000, there will be 47,700 new cases of melanoma in the always be to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the United States and about 7,700 people will die of this cancer. sun.

A lively atmosphere was apparent as Candye Kane and her band, The Swingin' Armadillos, performed a mix of big-band, blues, jazz, and swing music outside the Dome Stage. Kane, who is said to "encourage her audiences to shatter stereotypes, celebrate their sexuality, and live their dreams," took a moment in-between songs to comment on her opposition to Proposition 22 and encouraged the CSUSM audience to "embrace all the love" regardless of race, gender, and sexual orientation. Kane, who appeared on talk shows like Donnie & Marie, Queen Latifah, Roseanne, and Pen and Teller's Sin City Spectacular in 1999, is also an award-winning musician.

Just recently, a j udge r uled t hat N apster, a m usic-downloading p rogram, must stand t rial f or a suit by the R ecording I ndustry A ssociation of A merica ( RIAA). The suit supposedly claims that N apster e ncourages u sers to download copyrighted music without the consent of the r ecording companies.

CSUSM held its f irst public recognition of Yom HaShoa'h last Tuesday, when Dr. Andrea Liss discussed her book Trespassing Through Shadows: Memory, Photography, and the Holocaust. and artistic representations of the Holocaust. In her lecture, she discussed the graphic and disturbing images of the camps seen in photographs, and noted in an interview that the "direct documentary approach is not that respectful of the people being pictured." Liss, who will teach a class entitled "Holocaust Art, Photography, and Film" in Spring 2001, said she hopes that by learning more about the events of the Holocaust, people will be more willing to confront intolerance when it occurs around them. "We need to be concerned about racism at a local level and not be afraid to Liss does not argue that graphic documentary pho- speak out," Liss said. tographs don't have a place in our understanding of the Holocaust.

"It's a matter of how they can work together," she said. "It was considered an extreme imperative to set aside a day of remembrance," Liss said. "There can't be static remembering" of the Holocaust, she said. "That's called forgetting." Yom HaShoa'h, which began in 1951, was set to coincide with the 1943 uprising of Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, Liss said, in an attempt "to wed this commemorative day with those events." Artistic representations such as comics draw in the "post-Auschwitz" generation, Liss said. In her book and in her lecture, she discussed Art Spiegelman's Maus books as one example of nontraditional media that seeks to bridge the gap between those who experienced the Holocaust and those who seek to understand it. Spiegelman serves as a "liaison between the world of the presLiss described Yom HaShoa'h as it occurs in Israel, ent and the world of the trauma," Liss said. where it is a national day of remembrance.

The scenery was split in two sections of the apartment to account for outside and inside scenes. Once I adjusted to hearing the familiar lines repeated so often in Tennessee William's play, sung, I relaxed into the moment and enjoyed Streetcar for all it was worth. In act one, Blanche Dubois has come to New Orleans to visit her sister, Stella. Stella's husband, Stanley, "infuriated by Blanche's artificial airs, her suggestive behavior, and what he regards as her loss of his wife's birthright, is determined to expose the lies about her past," according to the San Diego Performing Arts magazine. That night, Blanche meets Stanley's poker buddy, Mitch. Flirtation ensues between the two, and Stanley angrily breaks up the party. Streetcar Named Desire is the sixth opera to be part of the North American Voices Program, which is intended to showcase a series of operas with subjects relevant to North American experience. North American Voices project continues the 2000-01 season with the premiere of Carlisle Floyd's Cold Sassy Tree. A bittersweet love story based on the novel by Olive Ann Season. Academy award winner and film director Bruce Beresford will direct. The San Diego Opera runs yearly from January through May at the San Diego Civic Center in downtown San Diego. Ticket prices range from $31 to $118. Rush tickets are available the day of the performance for $20. To purchase tickets or find out more about rush tickets, contact San Diego Opera online at: www.sdopera.com or call (619) 232-7636. Unfortunately, the first ninety minutes of the first act were abysmal. The songs were drawn out, overdramatic, and senseless. "It made me wish I had stayed home," commented an audience member during the first intermission. In act two, Stanley tells Stella of the tragic rumors circulating about Blanche. On a date with Mitch, Blanche reveals her innermost secrets. In act three, Stanley cruelly ruins Blanche by revealing her secrets to Mitch and buying her a one way ticket back to where she came from. This begins the deterioration of Blanche's mind. After a whirlwind of catastrophe, Stella is forced to send Blanche to an asylum. Thinking she is leaving to visit an old admirer, Blanche unwittingly takes the doctors hand, informing him she, "has always relied on the kindness of strangers." The score was still jarring at times but would instantly come together beautifully in a heart rending operatic duet. Anthony Dean Griffey, portraying the insecure but Mitch, a moralistic suitor, brings new depth to his character when he and Sheryl Woods, as Blanche, reveal the depths of their characters souls in the act's final song. As a fan of Tennessee Williams, I was pleasantly surprised at how s uitable Streetcar Named Desire w as f or o pera.

As the show went on, much of the audience was captivated by the stellar performances by the cast.

First of all, I am sorry to see that you did not stay for the whole event. The event consisted ofmore than one controversial speaker. We had beautiful cultural performances by Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan. We had Cesar Chavez's grandson as the keynote speaker, free food for all (regardless or race, religion, or sexual preference), and Aztec Dancers to close the event. It is unfortunate that you made a criticism of the entire event based on the 10-20 minutes that you witnessed. cation for "Mexican-American" high school students, has worked with Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan in delivering food and clothes to local farm workers and orphans in Tijuana, and has influenced other college students to transfer to CSU San Marcos solely to get involved with the MEChA here. From .what I have mentioned above, what exactly do you consider "worthless" and where were you when we were making the calls for people to support us? I believe that it was the work (and not the talking which you call complaining) that we have done for the past year which was the basis for ASI to elect us as the "Club of the Year".

Also, while we are on the subj ect ofChe and Cuba (and I hope this doesn't start another debatefrompeople who have learned everything they know on Cuba from the corporate media), you need to get your facts straight. Che helped turn Cuba into the Latin American country that has the highest literacy rate, free health care for all (Cuba's health system serves as an example for most underdeveloped nations and even some developed countries) and one of the most, if not the most industrialized Latin American nation. Though it may be true that Cuba's government may be repressive (this is a law of political science: states in all their forms, capitalist or socialist, are repressive), Cuba is not sponsoring terrorism within its borders or anywhere else. The main state or government that sponsors terrorism in Cuba and throughout the majority ofcountries throughout the world is the United States. TheU.S. sponsored the Bay ofPigs invasion as well as many assassination attempts of Fidel Castro (no government has the right to assassinate a nation's leader). Also the U.S. is responsible for a 30 year trade embargo on Cuba which has been condemned repeatedly by the United Nations and does not allow food and medical supplies into Cuba (how much more inhumane can you get?). ?). Plus I could add the fact that the U.S. is currently selling arms to a 70 year old illegitimate, terrorist Mexican government that is keeping its people living in poverty and misery. I could go on and on to prove my point of the U.S.'s role in sponsoring terrorism and terrorist states throughout the world, but I won't.1 could go on and on to prove my point ofthe U.S.'s role in sponsoring terrorism and terrorist states throughout the world, but I won't. I'll just mention a few, and hope you'll take the time to do some studying. Try studying Chile's history, specifically Pinochet and the overthrow of Allende, plus Guatemala. the school president decides to leave and can not or does not stay for the day. Hector Muro criticized President Gonzalez's weak stance on the Che issue while he was there. Like I said, it may hurt you to be reminded of your history (when you mentioned that you "happen" to have roots in Mexico, you say it as if it is a curse or afreakaccident of nature), but we are not about to let Cinco de Mayo be just another day to party. We are not about to let Budweiser, Marlboro, Doritos, or Taco Bell pimp off our history and culture. As Mexicans/ Chicanas/os in the United States, Cinco de Mayo is especially important to us today for many reasons. Cinco de Mayo for us is the David and Goliath story of Mexican history.

Finally, you have every right to say that MEChA does not speak for you, because we do not try to speak for all Mexicans or Mexican-Americans. As Hector Muro said, those of us in the universities represent a small percentage of our people. "Less than 1% of our people graduate from a university". Thus, as students, we try not to be selfish and speak for only 1% of our people. At the beginning of the year, we made a conscious decision to address the issues that affect the masses of our people. We understood that there are more of us in prisons than in the universities and we understand that most of our people are working class people. Most of us are being exploited somewhere i n' afield,in a factory, or in hotels and Country clubs. And we understand that it is our right and responsibility to be proud of where we come from so that we may have the dignity and courage to struggle for a just and brighter future for all. Keep in mind, you called yourself a "Twinkie", don't criticize us for something we never said. Ricardo Favela; MEChA Vice-President considered by White society to be 'Mexican first'. 4. Finally, [Cuba is a] "repressive terrorist-sponsoring state"? This is the pot calling the kettle black, which everyone would understand if we paid more attention to history and brought the criminals deeds into the light for everyone to see). Are our sanctions on Cuba not 'repressive' to Cuba? Does the Bay of Pigs ring any bells? Terrorist is a relative term, the British considered George Washing ton a terrorist and the Nazis considered the French resistance terrorists. Che Guevara fought for the liberation of his people from the foreign oppressors and their internal collaborators.

'This is just one employee" who feels he has been treated unfairly, he said. Concerns about unequal treatment for African American staff members have grown because of a perceived lack of responsefromthe administration, according to African American Advisory Council Chair Reginald Owens. 'These issues have gained in strength because they have not been addressed," he said. Gonzalez has made several proposals in response to the perceived inequity among staff members. The administration has approached a consulting group to discuss ways to improve the situation. Gonzalez has agred with the council's call for increased training for managers, and said there needs to be more accountability in enforcing and upholding policies that require equal treatment of all employees. 'It's my responsibility to try and ferret out [disparities] and make this a place where people want to be," Gonzalez said. Owens also had some suggestions to increase diversity on campus. "Look at the hiring process," he said. The university needs to devise ways to increase the diversity of the applicant pool, according to Owens. "If the pool isn't mixed, no by the lack of dormitories and affordone goes swimming," he said. Another able housing.

At this same meeting, Stacy recognized that CSUSM had failed to achieve the goals of the campus mission in regard to diversity. At an African American Advisory Committee meeting, both faculty and students stated they felt endangered because of the racial tension on campus, according to a Union Tribune article dated Oct. 11,1996, written by Lisa Petrillo and L. Erik Bratt. Faculty members felt racial problems had been escalating at CSUSM for two years. According to Stacy, campus police had investigated reports of a white supremacist group on campus but did not turn up evidence. For the next two years, more racist incidents occurred. Swastikas were painted on campus, one with a threatening message directed specifically toward a female African American professor. Security measures were taken to ensure her safety. In Feb. 1997, hate leaflets with threats of shooting African Americans and hanging their white associates were placed on car windshields. A juvenile was apprehended by university police for distributing the leaflets who claimed that he was a member of Tom Metzger's White Aryan Resistance (WAR). Metzger applauded the distribution, according to an article written by Michael Miller for the Feb. 13, 1997 issue of The Pride. According to Miller, Metzger had been held accountable in a civil judgement in 1990 after the beating death of an Ethiopian student in Portland, OR, Metzger was tentatively scheduled for distributing hate messages at CSUSM. At Curtis' arraignment, Metzger acknowledged that he and Curtis had communicated via the Internet and through e-mail, according to a Sept. 4, 1997 editorial in the Union Tribune. Curtis was not a CSUSM student. Consistently, more racist flyers were found on campus. In the Feb. 27, 1997 issue of The Pride, the president and vice president of the Aryan Student Union wrote a letter to the editor announcing the swastika as their symbol and professing their desire to "show pride and solidarity . .. affecting their race and culture." In Apr. 1997, there were bomb threats sent anonymously by white supremacists via e-mail threatening a unity celebration on campus. According to a former African American student who attended CSUSM from 1996-1997, the situation on campus "was somewhat tense, but for the most part, business went on as usual. [As an African American on campus] You paid attention to what was going on around you." These are some of the events behind Smith's allegation in her complaint that CSUSM did not respond appropriately to stop the distribution and dissemination of racist posters, signs and caricatures of bigoted illustrations prevalent on campus, thus creating a hostile working environment. After the 1834 Emancipation, the French, who were the colonizers at the time, lost control of the carnival and so former slaves rushed to the streets by the thousands bringing African ideas to the festivities. Today, all citizens of Trinidad venture out of their houses three days before Lent to celebrate carnival. All the nationalities that populate Trinidad come together and intermingle. The carnival helps combat the racial, social, and political hostilities that exist in the country. For the CSUSM student, the carnival is a great break before the dreaded week of finals, which start two weeks after this big and entertaining event. There will be food and drinks to go along with the music, prizes, and performances. All the students performing in the carnival will be wearing elaboorate costumes made with their own hands. A great deal of money has been donated to make sure this carnival is a success. According to John McKay, a student in the class, "With the help of ASI and the Pride Alliance we have already received $2000, plus an additional $2000 has been raised by the students in our class."

Cloning cuts down on the time spent t roubleshooting p roblem machines and hardware issues. Essentially, all the PC Computers in Academic Hall are exactly the same, made directly f rom one machine, which is copied, to each computer over our school network. Students were unable to use the Academic Computer Lab that Tuesday because of a small problem during the cloning process. A few of the machines had a problem " understanding" that they were to be cloned. Since all the machines are cloned over the school network, only a few machines can clone at one time. Some machines had slow or bad network cablefs, which caused the computers to download the cloned image more slowly than others did. Since it took more time for some machines to download the image, the rest of the computers in the Academic Computer Lab were waiting to accept the new image. This process can take several hours, which is why it is done at night. The slower machines took upwards of 2 to 3 hours each, which delayed the process /of cloning the entire Academic Computer Lab.

XV NO. 15 BY RACHELL REYES & CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writers Five freshmen students coordinated a community-wide rally on campus in protest of the antiimmigration bill HR 4437, on Monday, May 1. The rally, in conjunction with the national Great American Boycott, served to give students the opportunity to have their voices héard about social policies and issues regarding immigration. "We just talked about it, and never did anything about it," said Herminia Ramirez, lead organizer, about her f rustrations with socially conscientious courses. "Our problem was that we needed to take action." Ramirez, with the support of four fellow WMST 101 students, Marisol Marquina, Kathie Alvizo, Karen Leon, and Carmen Contreras, organized the rally attracting over 300 participants and 11 guest speakers. "I am very humbled to be a part of this movement," said Josh Harris, guest speaker and ^ S P S M «t»ff rm*TnH*r "T thinV i t's important to recognize all those who won't be here today." Harris expressed how many immigrants, legal and illegal, aren't often visible in our society. "The public doesn't see them. Today, part of getting our word out is making them visible. We will not be invisible anymore." Lori Walkington, a Women's Studies major and volunteer at the rally, was disappointed with the lack of diversity in student involvement.

The nearly 88,000 square-foot building and plaza named in honor of Ken and Carole Markstein, who donated $5 million to provide technology and furnishing upgrades for the facility.

Each new project is designed to better serve the campus community as well as increase the department's visibility and connections with students and faculty. The campus will be stocking a new property-marking product, Data Dots, for sale this Fall. Data Dots is a kit containing microscopic dots that can be painted onto mp3 players, cellular phones, laptops, books, and other valuables for identification purposes. In the event that these items are stolen, they can be tracked by University Police and San Diego County S heriffs departments. The Data individuals in the community who Dots kit comes with adhesive and hold restraining orders. a serial number for the user that is "The program is meant to attached to each of the kit's 500 allow us to make early intervendots.

Each officer Police department to connect with will be assigned a campus build- ing during the semester and will be responsible for developing plans for emergency responses, dealing with potential hazards, and disability safety for the structure. The program was inspired by the department's need for making themselves more visible on campus, not only to students but to the faculty as well. Along with familiarizing themselves with the building's structure, officers will also be in charge of connecting with faculty and staff working in the building. Lastly, campus police will be developing an acquaintance rape program to be implemented this fall. The program is still in the works, but Lt. Miller describes this new service as a strategy for rape prevention. "The best time to set up inter- vention to prevent acquaintance rape is in the fall with incoming freshmen and sophomores during the first two weeks of the fall semester," said Miller. Campus police will be making door-to-door visits at University Village to educate tenants on the facts of acquaintance rape. Male tenants will receive information about the facts of consent whereas female tenants will receive information about how to avoid becoming victims of rape. The program targets mainly UVA tenants, but information on rape prevention is available to all students. The University Police Department hopes to extend its services to all incoming and existing students at the start of the academic year to reinforce its presence on campus.

It is a model for others; it signifies the belief in not only today, but in the future of this institution." One of the elements each successful campus needs is community partnership, said Murray Galinson, chairman of the CSU Board of Trustees. "It takes community leaders to embrace the campus and help it reach its goals." "We appreciate what a university does for its students and surrounding communities," said Donor Ken Markstein. "Since it's becoming impossible for the state to finance the complete needs of its universities, it's imperative for the community to be involved not only in moral support, but in financial support as well." National and local government entities presented the Markstein Family and the campus with honorary recognition plaques and proclamations. Awards were presented on behalf of Congressman Darrell Issa, Cruz Bustamante, Senator Bill Morrow and the California Legislator, State Assemblyman Mark Wyland, the San Diego County Supervisor's Office, the City of Oceanside, the City of Escondido, the City of Carlsbad, the City of San Marcos, the City of Vista, and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Through working together and partnering together," said Guseman, "We can accomplish many great things." rnoto oy cnristine vaugnan / i ne r riae Interview with Roy lee ASI President Elect BY DAVID GATLEY Pride Staff Writer The Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) President Elect Roy Lee for 2006/2007 offered his first open speech at The Crash Awards Ceremony, on Wednesday, April 26. Lee's speech came under fire from one of the editors at the Pride Newspaper based on the fact she found it unprofessional. According to the opinion article, the writer felt that Lee was not as polished or as professional as the current ASI president, Marc DeGuzman. "There are all kinds of leadership styles, you cannot compare me and Marc DeGuzman," said Lee in response to the article. "Neither one of us is better than the other, just different." "Leadership is a case sensitive and is based on the individual." Though he did read the article prior to going to print, Lee was informed of the opinion piece and was given a chance to respond. "I could have been more polished that evening, but I chose not. I wanted to present myself to my peers," commented Lee about the speech overall. Lee wanted to convey that he respects anyone's opinion on his leadership style and would be willing to discuss it with anyone. "There is more to school than classes, there is campus life and it plays a significant role," said From RALLY page 1 F AMILY D ENTISTRY Dr. Marlene Thompson, D.D.S.

"What I see happening with this bill is the intent to enforce slavery once again, but upon a different people." "I would encourage students to view the events of May 1 in a historical context," said Scott Greenwood, assistant professor of Political Science. "We have a long history of integrating immigrants, both legal and illegal, into our soci- Lee in response to a comment in regards to his speech. Lee, a current business and marketing major at Cal State San Marcos, could not comment on next year's ASI board but did say that he hopes to deliver a strong University Hour. "Overall it will benefit students," said Lee. ety, and the events of May 1,2006, are simply another stage in this long historical process." Dr. Jorge Riquelme, professor of Liberal Studies, was among the speakers at the rally. Riquelme discussed how the United States is demonstrating conflicting messages regarding immigration. One such conflict centers on the Mexican flag debate, arguing between images of Mexican-nationalism versus patriotism to America. "I do not perceive the flags from different countries as an insult to America," said Riquelme. Flags are not symbols of allegiance, Riquelme went on to say, they are symbols of our heritage and culture. The rally served as a plat- form, and as a reminder, to urge students to vote in the November primary elections. In November, voters will have the opportunity to elect, or reelect, members of the Congress, the political entity responsible for passing legislative bills, such as HR 4437. "When you vote, that is when you show your true colors," said Riquelme. "For the next election in November, remember who voted yay and who voted nay for HR4437." "I think they did a fabulous job," said Professor Linda Pershing. "These young women have never done a rally before, and I applaud their efforts to voice their concerns about an issue that personally affects them."

With graduation around the corner, many graduates are excited, but may be f earful of what to expect after the completion of undergrad school. Literature & Writing Studies professor, Dr. Moukhalis, shared his experience as a graduate as well as words of encouragement for the class o f2006. Moukhalis was a first generation college student, like many who will be graduating this semester. "My father never had a chance to go to school. Living under French colonial rule, it was very difficult for him or his single mom to afford the expenses of school. At a very early age he had to support his mother. My mother had an elementary education, but never made it to college. So, I am first-generation college student." Dr. Moukhalis attended and graduated from Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco, with a degree in "English Language and Literature". Having studied in Morocco, Moukhalis's experience was different than that of an undergraduate here. "In terms of opportunities, college education in Morocco is subsidized by the government and is free. In some schools it is an open admission policy. Once students graduate from high school, their choice of college is limited to their major. The programs are very carefully designed to ensure a much focused education and at the same time to introduce students to a global perspective. I remember in high school, for example, I had to learn about the literature, history, geography, and economy of so many countries, including, for example, Germany, Brazil, Japan, and the United States," shared Moukhalis. What is common is the challenge "It was very challenging but I enjoyed it so much." There was no formal commencement ceremony, however, he did have "the privilege of receiving an invitation to the King's palace," but like many students who won't attend their commencement, he never made it. The class of 2006 is said to have a good job market available to them. Many students will have to end their college careers (or put them on hold) to enter the job market. Numerous others will continue on to graduate school. Advice from others may be helpful, but follow your own instinct. Contrary to the current job market for graduates, when Moukhalis was graduating, "the job market was really tight and there were few opportunities for graduates," so, "against the advice of all to get a job," he opted for graduate school to further pursue his dreams of being a college professor. Some students will not get accepted to their first choice graduate school, but Moukhalis did, eventually earning a masters degree, " from Keele University in England." He later went on to earn a Ph.D. from Sate University of New York at Stony Brook; "I'm glad I followed my own instinct then." Along with hard work, Moukhalis attributes his success to his father, "My dad actually is my role model. Even though he never had any formal education; he had to struggle all his life to spare us that hardship. I always heeded his advice about the importance of getting an education." To the graduating class of 2006, fear not, because from Moukhalis's perspective, "I would like to remind students that graduation is not the end; it is the beginning of hopefully a life f ull of more challenges, hard work, and most importantly more achievements." Tuesday, May 2, 2006 (MvApl "Was Cai State San Marcos yourfirstcollege choice and are you proud that you go here?" "This was actually my only choice because of my parents. They pretty much decided everything for me. I am proud, I guess, it's better than I thought."

Suzie Mantz Sophomore History Major Tips for students tor finals week: 1. "Here I Study" Dedicate a space strictly to studying where you have the right lighting and environment, freefromdistractions such as your cell phone. 2. Stick to a routine, efficient study schedule. Take into account what your personal energy levels are at certain times of the day. 3. Focus Summarize your objectives, gather what you need, and have a plan of attack. 4. Incentives Reward yourself after finishing a task. Eat something naughty, take a walk, or call a friend and chat for a bit. 5. Change Topics Variety can be key in your success. To stay engaged, switch every couple of hours. 6. Vary your study activities Do some reading, and switch to an active learning exercise, or join a study group. 7. Take regular, scheduled breaks that fit you Change what you have been doing, and where you have been sitting for a change of pace. 8 Rewards Reward yourself after completing your studying for the evening. v »Tips assembled by Summer Connery aï Wtmm r SOLARIUMS • • • MHfft V i M M ... $ "lAjByiiiBarw y'jpo •> >»** •SUPER CLEAN * Smart Tan Certified {Tanning Beds or MYSTIC Tanj * Exclusive anti-aging Mystic Solution * Our Mystic is not sticky & odor-free!j Buy one § reg. price- get one FREE!

Not all legislation is covered in this timeline on U.S. immigration policy: 1882—The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 banned Chinese laborers from entering for 10 years. 1891—The Immigration Act of 1891 was the first comprehensive law for national control of immigration. Established the Bureau of Immigration within the Treasury Department, it restricted immigration by certain classes of persons, and directed the deportation of anyone entering the U.S. illegally. 1924—The Immigration Act of 1924 was the first permanent limitation on immigration which established the "national origins quota system" which set annual immigration quotas at 2 percent of the number of persons of a given nationality to reside in the U.S. This act, along with the Immigration Act of 1917, governed American immigration policy until 1952. It established a preference quota for those unmarried children under 21;parents; spouse of U.S. citizens; and those immigrants aged 21 and older who were skilled in agriculture, along with their wives and dependent children. 1940—The Alien Registration Act required registration of all aliens. 1942—Executive Order 9066—Evacuation and Internment of Japanese and JapaneseAmerican citizens from the West Coast. 1942—The United States and Mexico signed the Mexican Farm Labor Program Agreement, which set up the Bracero system that legally brought 4.6 million Mexican migrant workers to the U.S. over the next 24 years. 1952—The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 became the comprehensive law governing immigration and nationalization. It gave preference to skilled workers, those who had relatives that were U.S. citizens and legal aliens. 1965—-The Amendment to the Act of 1952 abolished the national origins quota system, visas were given on first come, first served basis, and gave preference to relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens and those with special skills. 1986—The Immigration Reform and Control Act autho- rized temporary and then permanent resident status for aliens residing in the U.S. illegally since 1982 and created sanctions for employers who knowingly hire aliens not authorized to work in the U.S. 1990—The Immigration Act of 1990 increased the total immigration amount. Refugees were excluded from limitations. 1996—The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 increased criminal penalties for immigration-related offenses. The majority of the legislation during the 1900's was intended to restrict the immigration of those from European countries. For example, based on nationality, the quota system would allow more Germans to immigrate in comparison to Italians. Fast forward to 2006. HR4437 is a proposed as Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005. Immigrants' rights groups are calling for a nationwide boycott of school, work and to not spend money in opposition to this bill. Several students here at Cal State San Marcos were asked to share their thoughts on the boycott and the bill and immigration all together. The answers immerged as varied here as they areacross the country. For some students the issue is that all Hispanics/Latinos need to ban together and support the immigrants. Some students believe the boycott is a complete waste of time, while others fear a backlash against all Hispanics. There are some students that believe that these boycotts and protests merely make the Hispanic and Mexican communities look like victims. "If an illegal wants citizenship, they should have to go about it just like everyone else in this world . .. stop making Mexicans look like they are victims; the problem is with illegals, not Mexicans," voiced student Daniel Perez. Student Maribel Baltadano supports the boycott "It is the way many civil rights movements began their fight against racial discrimination." Amy Chacon points out that those protesting are not just Hispanic or Mexican. "People are uniting all over the U.S to protest . .. Not just Mexicanos but people of all descent are supporting this cause." Others believe it is not about race, but about breaking the law and not following the proper procedures. Student Jose Cruz believes the issue is legitimate but that "it's the wrong way to send a message. If you want to send a message, do exactly that, send a message, talk, protest, be vocal, write to newspapers, etc. People will listen. People will not listen if you throw a tantrum and stay at home by skipping school." Some students also believe that identifying this as primarily "Hispanic or Chicano" related may alienate other immigrants and possible supporters of this cause. "I think, we ALL want to achieve the same goals with the Boycott, but we have to somehow agree on how to relate the message to all people in a way that includes and invites support and does not exclude or invites identities," said Juana Molina. Conversely, Student Anthony Hutchinson was quoted asking "Why stop with one day??? Why not make this a 'permanent' boycott, vatos? Really make it worth while, and just don't ever come back." No matter the perspective, students are encouraged to educate themselves so that they may speak intelligently on the topic, and to take the necessary and proactive steps to make their position known.

That was the only issue that I had with him and I tease him about it whenever I get the chance. He always backed my words, which is exactly what an editor should do. During Patrick's term it seemed as though everything he accomplished came with a struggle. A struggle to find someone to write a story, a struggle with personalities that didn't want to learn proper AP style and even a struggle to find a new editor-inchief for next school year. Somehow he always found a way to get things done. Before I discuss the future, I have a couple more good-byes to some more graduates. Antoinette Johnson was one of the best staff writers that the newspaper has seen. Her stories graced the front page on nearly every issue. She also had my back around campus when I was being accused of sexism. Christine Vaughan was a great News Editor and College Life: What the U.S. Marines did not prepare me for BY KARIN REYES Pride Staff Writer thought k ^ in the park, I was so very wrong. At the time I started my college career I had already been on active duty for 6 and a half years in the Marine Corps. So I figured four years of college should be a breeze. However I forgot one thing; how to handle adjusting from the structured and disciplined life of the military to a very unstructured, undisciplined civilian life. Military life is not as bad as it sounds. Aside from bootcamp (which the Marines have the hardest—we are proud to brag about that) life in the Corps, for some, tends to settle into a routine that gets comfortable after awhile. I was in that comfortable routine when I applied for and got accepted to the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program— MECEP. This program allowed me to stay on active duty, receive full pay and benefits and attend CSUSM as a full time student. Sounds too good to be true I know, but that's where the greatness ends. When I started classes here back in 2002 I was dealt a tremendous culture shock. I joined the Marine Corps when I was barely nineteen years old, so I did my growing up in the military unlike my fellow classmates. This is where I had the most difficulty adjusting—interacting with other students who the majority were younger than myself and tended to be immature in my eyes. My biggest and most difficult lesson to learn here was to relax. Easier said than done. Anytime a student whined or complained to the professor about anything, whether the syllabus or an assignment, I would sit in my chair and fume. Anytime a professor lost control of a class or seemed to have no clear direction, or if students would have conversation and not pay attention, I would sit there and force myself not to jump up and start barking orders to everyone. Now not every student or professor was like this. In fact, I am positive that it was only a select few that have stood out in my memory. Of course take into consideration that I have a Type A personality combined with being a control freak and anal retentive, I'm sure those factored into how I viewed events at the time, making them totally exaggerated. The Marines never taught me how to deal with this. Sure we learned about being respectful and tactful when dealing with each other—but it's easier when everyone has the same expectations of how things are supposed to be. I didn't have to worry about hurting people's feelings because I would tell them to be quiet during a class or meeting, but in college that is just not happening. Add to that having to drive to San Diego at least two times a week for "military training", along with being a parent and a spouse and college has definitely taught me a thing or two about multi-tasking. Try getting up at 3:30 in the morning to be in San Diego by 5:30 a.m. for military classes and training, then driving the 45 minutes or so back to Oceanside to pick up kids from school, then make dinner for the family, help with homework, try and squeeze in my homework, then drive another 45 minutes to get to San Marcos (yeah, 45 mins. From Oceanside, traffic nightmare) to sit in class from 5 p.m. until 8:30, then try and be home by 9 p.m. to see husband for 15 minutes, then end up falling asleep on the couch. I don't care how much training you have, that schedule never gets easy. I can't wait to get back to regular old military life! All complaining and venting aside, I wouldn't change my experience because without it I wouldn't have met some truly interesting and special people. I've learned to relax—a little bit, and I've learned that all of us can learn something from others even if we don't see it at first. Congratulations to those who are graduating in a few weeks, I'll see you at graduation. And for those that are not: ha ha ha ha, you still have to go to school! she seemed to be in the office no matter what time I walked in. I thank both of them for being great contributors to this paper. Last week I met the new editorin-chief, David Gatley. I look forward to working with him because he seems like a good guy and he already has many new things that he wants to do with the paper. It also seems like he is set for the challenges that he will face. He is actually going to have to find writers, rather than having a class provide them for him. Because of that, I am assuming that the paper will be small to start off, but will grow in time. As for the sports section, I really see it changing. The new Soccer, Softball and Baseball programs will make it so that actual stories are written about campus athletics. Nothing against golf, cross country and track and field because I do know many of the athletes on the teams and they are great people, but those aren't spectator sports and there hasn't been much to write about. Along with the sports section, I hope to have the student radio station up and running. Dr. Anthony Hurst and I will be doing some work this summer to make that happen. I want to send a special thanks to Laura Wilson, Chris Hecklinger, Michelle Jules and Matt Mull for working with me on the project in Dr. Katherine Brown's COMM 355 class. We created the CSUSM Radio Club, which will be available for students to join in the Fall. We are going to start with pod-casting, and hopefully in the not too distant future we will be doing web-casting. Next year should be my last one on campus and I can't wait to continue this column in the fall for what will be my fifth semester involved with the paper. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu.

Spring is here. Our common colds and minimal rains are neither withstanding, nor less arbitrary, than the calendar marking the seasonal transition. In this desert, this artificial oasis, so many of us live without an appreciation for the true cold of winter, thus without an appreciation for Spring's return. What all of us do have is the oldest and most enduring icon of the selfsame cure and virus for Spring Fever. We, as college students, are surrounded by fresh and freshlyarrived beautiful women. So, women of CSUSM, let me speak to you: Envy, like stratification, is natural. Luckily, so is Beauty, and like Nature it requires only health: nutritious food, physical exertion and a joyful Will to be alive. Worthy partners do not require physical perfection any more than those who 'have it' know it, or keep it. Worthy partners will remember the parts of you they most favor, not the parts you cannot change. Worthy partners do not seek conquest over contact, that is for ill-adolescents, and they are only their parents' concern. Be alive and open to these worthy partners, for they are willing and eager to remind you how beautiful you are. I am eager to remind you how beautiful you are. And I don't need a class on 'romantic' poetry, or a history of our malignant patriarchy, to do it . .. though the blessing of my own partner probably wouldn't hurt. Back to the theme, then. There are many empty but intoxicating fortunes to be made in making you obsessed with your allure and ashamed of your desires. There are many crippled spirits driven mad with the fear of you, determined to enslave your (and thus all) Lust through confusion, through dividing debate over an archaic procedure that, oh so curiously, has not yet been made obsolete. The fortune-seekers need you more than you need them; beauty can be supplemented, but never sold, thus all merchants serve Beauty, and you owe nothing to servants who forget their place. The crippled spirits need many things, but deserve nothing so much as the sight of you coming to love the sight of you as you have made yourself. For you ARE beautiful, and may you by your Will stay beautiful, as you would remain beautiful, even were you to die before knowing love. No beauty is so rare as the beauty fully realized, but no beauties are lost but those that are wasted, and none that recognize themselves are ever wasted. Do not give Lust, holy Desire, the blood of your beauty, to that alluring confidence and affluence that you already possess. Do not hoard swords, less they make your cup an ever-empty sieve. Do not lord yourself above those that would raise you from irresistible to invaluable. They will love you, if you give them the chance, because you are beautiful, and you are beautiful because you Are. You are your experiences, your inspired explorations and your delicious tastes. You are, each and every one of you, beautiful, not by imitating representations, but by existing as whole, and real, and sovereign in yourself. You have, and must cultivate, a Name and a Consciousness that makes you 'an object' only so much as a living, bleeding deity is an object. Were all of civilization to rot down from its art, to its religion, to its magic, to the end of names and back into linguistic zero, there would still be enough left enough for them to lose themselves and gain eternity in the unassuming sway of your hips, the pronouncing contortions of your mouth, the softness of your warming touch. Your symmetries and tones are your own, and they are beautiful because the world is beautiful and the world is beautiful because it varies. Do not chase bleached hair and silicone breasts as an ideal any more than you'd chase a single dress or set of jewelry as the one and only ornament you'd need for the rest of your life. The worthy partner will reach out their hands to touch YOU, not your 'things'. Lust, as any essential element to life, can be poorly managed, but your beauty makes it too invaluable to be forever suppressed by winters, storms, ill-children or crippled spirits. Go now, and be adored. Make the eye contact then make it again; the smile, the first hello and casual question. The smallest, yet clearest invitation will turn shy awe into confident dedication. Their unbridled Lust will bind them to you for however so long as you would give them here, as you would have them there. You are beautiful, make the same of the Spring and its Fevers. - Zachary Simon CSUSM student's thoughts about 'breaking the silence' Today April 26th at noon, six members of the LGBTQ including myself stood and broke the silence. Silence we had been keeping in recognition for the voices that are hushed each day because they were not of the heterosexual orientation. Voices silenced from fear. Fear of retri- bution . . . fear for something outside of our control. . Being a 21 year old gay male I have grown up to except and love myself.

I learned that what I am is not a mistake and that no one should grow thinking otherwise. People other than the hetero-normative frame are people just the same. Today we tried to get that back. Some of us placed tape on our mouths others wore white, and others simply did not speak. Fleers were passed out up until noon. TheseTflyers said, "Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. People who are silent today believe that laws and attitudes should be inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Think about the voices you are not hearing. What can you do to end the silence?" For us to live in a society that does not allow people of the same sex to marry and share love what morality are we spreading? That certain types of love weigh more then others? What does it say about our society that a person that is not heterosexual cannot live and die for this country? Is this a country that is so obvious that there is no separation between church and state? For people who do not follow the mold of heterosexuality why should they have to look around before they know it is safe to hold each other's hand? Why should any people be segregated into certain parts of the city for a somewhat sense of security. So we protested. In protest we silenced ourselves along with "An estimated 500,000 students at 4,000 schools nationwide" according to dayofsilence.org, but with one difference, at twelve we broke our silence. We broke the silence that our society is to use too. Names like Mathew Shepard and Brandon Teena maybe somewhat familiar of victims of hate crimes but there are many others that have gone without the representation of the media. Others that had to be recognized like Danny Overstreet, Billy Jack Gaither, Tyra Hunter for starters. These people were just that people and did not deserve the deaths they received. Today we broke the silence and for me personally I am tired of being quite I want to be heard and not ignored. I am gay I am real, see me, recognize me, and know that I am more then just my sexuality. As we prepared are mouths were taped and as we removed the bondage of this society we began to speak. We began to speak of events that outside of Mathew Sheppard many people are unaware of. According to gsanetwork.org "The project consists of a vow of silence for the entire school day, or however long your school wishes to have it, where participants pass out cards that state their reasons for not speaking (see below). At the end of the silence, participants can host a series of follow up events to educate their communities on how to keep the silence from continuing." -Andrew M. Ruisenor �letters to the Editor: I read Phil Hoffman's "Response to the Letter to the Editor" in last week's Pride. Phil had commented that forcing gay and transgender issues is actually "impeding on our rights." Phil, this is a false statement. He also argued that gay and transgender events are "completely anti-America[n]." Phil, this is also a false statement. I don't view ASI nor LBGTA's events (such as the fashion show, gay wedding, etc.) as impeding on our rights. You may not agree with their views, Phil, but asking them to stop such events is impeding on students' rights, and that would be truly anti-American. As a student I will also do my duty by asking ASI, LBGTA and other student organizations to continue such events. We need one another to open our minds. Isn't that what our university should ultimately promote? -Vicky Segall LTWR In last week's edition of the Pride, Karen Perez asked the question, "Did you know that this bill (House Resolution 4437) makes illegal people criminals?" I would like to respond to her question by saying, Karen, aren't immigration laws, laws that if violated make a person criminal? These protests planned for May 1st are not about immigrant's rights as Ms. Perez's letter suggests, it is about fighting for 11 million criminals to be granted amnesty from punishment for breaking the law, as well as for promoting the idea of continuing to turn a blind eye to the crimes that occur everyday when someone enters this country illegally. However in the end, I feel that the United States as a whole should walk hand in hand with those that are wishing to immigrate into the United States and say, "Si Se Puede legalmante." I do not speak for all of those in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender community. I am one gay person with my own story. Other gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individualsLimvjsuiic^^ there are similarities among the stories, they are different. I have been criticized for being discriminatory toward Christians and Catholics by a fellow student in the campus paper. I have not denounced Catholicism, I am still Catholic. Nowhere in my fetter to the editor did I single out ALL Christians or Catholics. I do not discriminate against Christians or have any ill will towards them. I simply described my own personal experiences as they happened to me. • Some might ask, ' Then why focus so much of your conversation on Christians?" As I described in my first letter, my experience within the Christian community is where I was met with the most discrimination. I do not hate Christians for this, nor do I believe all Christians act the same way. Rather, my response is to educate people that Christianity does not mean anti-gay. Christianmeans,"Christ-like" Christ would not spew hate or discrimi- Phil: I read your letter in response to Cheyenne, regarding the importance of a gay wedding on campus. Yes, same-sex marriage is illegal in this country. Do you know what else used to be illegal, up until 1961? Interracial marriage! Check this out: In the case ofLoving vs. Virginia (1961), a black man and his white wife were prosecuted for their marriage, the judge defending the verdict by saying, "Almighty God created the races of White, Black, Yellow; Malay, and Red, and He placed them on separate continents „.And but for the interference with His arrange- ment there would be no cause for such marriages. Thefact that He separated the races shows that he did not intendfor the races to mix" Tell me Phil, do you agree with this statement? If interracial marriage were illegal today, would you oppose an "interracial wedding event"? The law is not always right, so sometimes you must stand up for what you believe is r ight This is what the LGBTA is doing. You don't have to agree with them. I also disagree with your statement saying that ASI and the LBGTA are "forcing these issues down our throats." I don't feel forced at all. Hey, ifyou don't want to attend a fashion show or a gay wedding, DON'T! The LGBTA hasn't hurt anybody, or violated anybody's rights, as you say. How dare you try to impede on the right of these people to defend themselves as human beings who deserve human rights? As for Anti-America, how do you define "American"? A white mommy and daddy, with 2.5 kids, living in the suburbs driving a Ford Explorer? Please. If you have some important issues to promote, I encourage you to do so, but please don't get in anybody else's way. Sincerely, Jennifer Ho An Unruly Faction The campus is abuzz with talk of the 1 May boycott, and the desired affect upon and against the US economy. I am not only disconcerted by the open discussion of the premeditated sabotage, I am thoroughly convinced that such behavior does not constitute the cut or character of one worthy to reside within the borders of this fine nation. Those who would undermine our systems of governmental and economic policy have no place or business amongst our elite countrymen. Such people do not deserve to partake with me, a citizen of this country. Such treacherous individuals should not be afforded the liberties for which so many men have died to protect. Let those that boycott receive the full recompense for their malefaction and disrespectful sedition perpetrating upon the country to which they would, not for the betterment of their state, but for opportunities which they would exploit. It would be better, were they to not only abide for the duration of the day in their homes, but that selfrepatriate (those that are illegal), saving the national treasury the cost. I am whole-heartedly behind any repercussive actions taken against those who participate, including their loss of employment, failing of classes, or any disciplinary action that against them may be taken. - Lee Mitchell I wanted to write and convey one student's perspective on the illegal immigration issue as to hopefully prompt further political discourse. During the past couple of weeks it has been remarkable to see my peers rallying around a political cause. The right to peaceably assemble is one of those rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution (to American citizens) that is rarely exercised by college students, so to hear about the event planned for May 1st regarding a political cause is extremely encouraging. However I am torn because while it is nice to see my peers standing up for a political cause, it is disheartening that it has to be regarding the issue of illegal immigration, because I am completely dumfounded as to how anyone could make an intelligent argument as to how violating the laws of this country is a noble cause that should be rewarded. I understand a lot of you are sitting there saying, well Bryan, because illegal immigrants do the jobs no one else will do, and to that I disagree because illegal immigrants that accept below minimum wage positions (that may be undesirable) are not taking a job that someone else would not do, they are merely undercutting the federal and state minimum wage laws and accepting positions for less pay than is mandated by law to American citizens. ble to try to either incarcerate or repatriate 12 million people.

Incoming ASI president, Roy Lee, delivered his first "formal" speech at the Crash Awards Night, commemorating and recognizing student leadership and involvement on campus, at the honorary ceremony on Wednesday, April 26. It is understood that when introducing a new Board of Directors for ASI, certain liberties are taken by the student population to scrutinize elected officials. One such liberty involves judging the competency of its representatives and, if need be, expose inadequacies. Having said that, it is my desire that you be sufficiently informed as to how our new "president" is representing the student voice of Cal State San Marcos. It is my opinion that, after reading the following speech, I doubt students will take much, if any, comfort in knowing that Roy Lee will be our representative. As president, Lee will be expected to deliver countless speeches to high-end executives, politicians, and community leaders. If Wednesday night's speech is any indicator as to his pptential as ASI President, I fear that the student body, not to mention Cal State San Marcos as a whole, will be viewed as a mockery to academia. The following is Roy Lee's speech in its entirety - verbatim. It has not been taken out of con- text in any way, nor has it been edited for grammatical errors. Let yourself be the judge: "First o f f , I would like to thank all of you who votedfor me, and for those that have not, um, no just joking. Now moving, so, I came here guys to Cal State San Marcos, you know, like all of you guys to get my higher education. But I came here really with a different mindset. Um, you see when I graduated high school I told myself 'all right buddy just chill. You know, you don't know, just don't get involved, k. Don't get involved, don't don't get yourself too crazy out there, you know. Forget clubs, forget sports, forget studying.' I mean, honestly, though, but. I told myself, you know, 4just take it easy, don't get involved, you don't know how hard college will be compared to high school.' I'm sure some of you can relate that, right, ok. So, four years pass by, five, whatever, and now I'm your guys ASI President. Good job... that's awesome, but I don't regret it you guys, don't regret it at all. Um, being in ASI has taught me so many things that a classroom could never teach me. Um, which is really good because seeing that I don't really pay attention in class all that often, it's a good thing that I've been out of the classroom structure, um, but being in ASI at San Marcos has been my continuing drive to get my degree.

I want to commend you all for making my experience at Cal State Marcos a memorable one. And I hope, that ASI will make it just as memorable for you guys as, you guys have done it for us. Thanks." While I have no personal vendetta towards Lee, I perceive his speech as a prime example of student apathy. Although uncontested in the elections, 388 students, out of 578, voted for Lee to represent them as the voice of Cal State San Marcos. Had more students engaged in running for the presidency, I believe a more competent-sounding candidate would be serving our campus. ASI would be wise to splurge a little of their $1.4 million dollar budget on protecting the integrity and image of the student voice. I urge students to demand higher standards of such representatives and, perhaps, advise Lee to consider hiring a speech consultant. - Christine Vaughan News Editor for The Pride F 1500+ spaces behind Lot E * PARKI NG FEE INCREASE STUDENT UVA CREDENTIAL Hpp'5 $248 $315 $ 124 DAILY PERMITS $7 Parking ajnd Transportation Services Sem. Sent. Sem. Month Day �16 A &E Tuesday, May 2,2006 THE PRIDE What is female beauty? BY ANDREW RUISENOR & ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writers What is female beauty? By society's standards, beauty might be considered as a white skinned, blonde-haired, blue eyed, smallwaisted (and by small this means a size 2) and somewhat petty bombshell. In reality, the woman we just described is a waif. She's frail, she's dependent, her body is unrealistic and unhealthy. In terms of her personality, she's as exciting as a dial-tone. With this standard set, where do the rest of us fall? Are we not to be considered beautiful? What about mahogany-skinned, dark-haired, brown-eyed, amplefigured, intellectual bombshells from the rural south, the inner city, the upper echelons, and the underclass? These women do exist, and many of them are reading this now. All women everywhere should realize how truly beautiful they are. The flesh of a person is sacred and individualized through past generations. According to the Dove Self Esteem Study "92 % of young women (ages 15-17) experience negative body image and want to change." This obsession with the flesh comes with a heavy toll. The difference between healthy and idealized is large. According to inch-aweigh.com the average American woman is 5'4" and 140 lbs. In tills same study the average American model is five 5'11 and 117 lbs. There is a large discrepancy between the average, and what the industry calls for. For all the women who do not fit into this category such as comedian Mo'Nique Imes, embracing your flesh is imperative. As Oil of Olay advertises "Love the skin you're in," it is beautiful. Intellectualism is also an asset that society tends to do away with in its regard for females. The thoughts of women should no longer be threatening, but accepted as beautiful. Women like Maya Angelou represent a beauty that transcends the flesh and its fleeting youth. Through her writing she breathes life into the minds and spirits of women around the world. The artist Alecia Moore, otherwise known as Pink, also presents positive messages through her lyrical works that are sending messages to women. These messages reinforce the idea that you do not have be another body, but a mind as well, capable of making decisions for yourself. Through the mind is also you, the reader, who might identify as a woman who has made the step forward in your education process challenging your system of beliefs and getting the grade on your own accord. Your mind is beautiful. Identity is beautiful. Many women, who fall outside of the narrow formula for beauty, are overcome with images of women who appear tcrbc like themselves living and reinforcing counterproductive models for what racial group x's women should be like. ative. This in turn creates a battle An unfortunate side effect of this between a woman's self and her is that women begin to translate identity as it is assigned to her by their self worth as not stretch- the media's outlook."

Such a double negative should have made it easier to move on, but I ended up staring at it even longer each time the other members of my party sent me back for more souvenirs ... so that they wouldn't lose their place at the guard rail.

Her inspiration for the song was a crazy relationship she was but wasn't in.

A fter the wide-eyed revelers made their way home (most under the general consensus that they'd been given more blood through the performance than ever could be leached from an autograph mob) and before I had their new album in my hand, I could tell you with absolute certainty that The Dresden Dolls will blow your mind, kick your ass, and break your heart with hardly more than an electric piano and a drum kit between them. The new album builds on everything that was great about the first, with that musical and vocal passion carried by genuine lyrical wit through every chide and confession. Moving seamlessly from the unpredictable avant-garde to classic nursery rhyme and power-ballad standards, they stir every aloof and abandoned preconception. On the song, "Mrs. O," whose lyrics give us the new album's title "Yes, Virginia," we get a journey through the nature and implications of truth aMHbelief ... or another clever bit of word play. It's my personal favorite thus far, and the Dresden Dolls have renewed my faith in this new century's capacity. Naturally, this sets both fellow listeners and the band itself up for disappointment, which is all the more reason to give them a chance, or even a second one (it took a third for me) to show the world how worthwhile a genuinely unusual thing can be, and how much we both deserve a f uture that doesn't leave us running in place, or improving a memory.

Overdose on popular television shows Television of the 1990s catered to audiences of all ages in new ways than previously done.

Shows such as the Simpsons, The Critic, and South Park embraced the political contexts and satirical j nature that adult audiences everywhere were starving w for. As a fortunate byproduct to cartoons laced with adult humor was the ever-popular trend of Anime. It was during the 1990s that the like-ability f \ of shows like Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, and the Dragonball series resonated with audiences. While adults were taking in Family Guy, younger | | ¡ ¡ audiences were viewing shows like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rugrats, and the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. 4. Shake well and garnish with memorable events and trends Encompassed within the decade of the 90s are a host of milestones that continue to influence the culture of today. Headlines explained of Bradley NowelPs heroin overdose, Left-Eye's arsenal, the death of Princess Diana, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and the tragic shootings at Columbine High School. Teenagers sported artistry on the smalls of their backs, chests, and biceps as well as an array of body piercings hung from various orifices and lobes as symbols of rebellion. Michael Jackson rose in popularity only to fall victim to charges on his integrity. Meanwhile, his sister Janet came out of the era looking younger somehow. The decade was a constant reminder that yes, the 80s were over and the end of the world was near. Once compiled, place all ingredients in a large pot, douse with experiences and bring to a simmer.

The panel was hosted by Liter­ ature and Writing Studies pro­ fessor Dr. Susie Lan Cassel Tuesday, May 14. The six guest panel speak­ ers were all contributed to a recently published collection of professional essays called “The Chinese in America: A His­ tory from Gold Mountain to the New Millennium.” The book consists of 24 essays that survey 150 years of Chinese immigration to North Amer­ ica. “These essays contribute new knowledge about the Chi­ nese experience in America,” Cassel said. After some discussion, the panel presented a short slide show demonstrating the stereommIf; | |||;; lI Panelists P ride Photo/Jessica Krone typical messages of derogatory Chinese drawings of laborers in the 19th century. Other slides included one of the now infa­ mous, controversial Abercrom­ bie and Fitch T- shirt designs, featuring two Chinese laundry workers with pointed hats and the slogan, “Wong Brothers Laundry Service: Two Wongs Can Make It White.” Accord-, ing to the Korea Herald, the shirts were pulled from stores a month ago after the Organi­ zation of Chinese Americans complained that the designs are racially insensitive. “After 150 years, how much has changed?” Cassel asked the audience. Preceding the slide show, panel members discussed the contributions they made to the book, their experiences, beliefs, accomplishments and current projects.

But this year, San Marcos can expect another summertime treat. Cal State San Marcos senior Zach­ ary Pugh will release his new literary magazine for North County with help from Chi­ cago Internet marketer Michael D. Redikop on July 1.

Many Cal State San Marcos’ students attended, included those enrolled in Dr. Robin Keehn’s Literature and Writing 525 class, which is geared toward the theory and practice of teaching college-level writing. CAPI isr a partnership between CSUSM and area high schools. The focus of this partner­ ship, effectively CAPI’s mission statement, is “to strengthen the mathematics and English prep­ aration of college-bound highschool students.” The conference was divided •between English workshops and and mathematics workshops. Both disciplines held workshops separately and the entire group only reconvened during lunch­ time. Dr. Dawn M. Formo, a CSUSM associate professor of Literature and Writing Studies and an associate CAPI director, said, “It’s a way to strengthen the gap between middle schools to college.” She added, “It’s just another piece of that puzzle to- fill those gaps.” The conference, which is held at least once every year, is dif­ ferent each time. Last year’s con­ ference included students from three different levels of educa­ tion, but this time only faculty members from the middle and secondary schools were part of the conference, with student representation limited to under­ grad and graduate students of CSUSM. “For this conference, we invited faculty high school and we have now broadened it to middle school, community col­ leges and the UC, everyone in our service area.

Some students chose more personal publishing projects, like putting together a family cookbook. “Through Small Press, I met the not-for-profit world, and I like it* After graduation, I hope to work as a grant writer for a non­ profit organization,” said Susie Shattuck, a Literature major who took the course for the second time. Small Press students have the option of taking the course for two semesters and a total of six credits. Literature 318, Small Press Publishing, is a practical course in developing, writing, soliciting copy for, editing, designing and printing a variety of publications (including journals, newsletters, and manuals) for print and the Web, according to 318’s profes­ sor, Dr. Madeleine Marshall. “In my experience, realworld writing is very different from academic writing. It’s always relational, usually col­ laborative, and generally highpressure. Academic writing is a gentler species, essentially per­ sonal, reflective, controlled. We do real-world writing in 318,” Marshall said. “The rewards are different, too.

Many people have told us that the name is con­ fusing at first, but then after contemplation of it, they are pleasantly satisfied. The name a r t i s t i c [w] r i g h t [e] s combines both phonetic and visual representation in order to convey a dual meaning, much like the nature of the submis­ sions and context of the publi­ cation. It boils down to: artistic rights vs. artistic writes. Q: And, who are you? Do you have a background in this or did you just wake up one day and decide to create a maga­ zine? A: I [Pugh] am currently a Literature & Writing Studies major and a second semester senior here at CSUSM. I have always been interested in graphic design and layout. At Fallbrook High, I was into graphic design and completed the Regional Occupation Pro­ gram.

Maybe you persuade some­ body to care or to help or to enlist other people to care or to help,” Marshall said. At the publications fair, stu­ dents and non-profit organiza­ tions mingled while looking over the final projects. “Small Press Publishing was , one of the most enjoyable and useful classes I took at the Uni­ versity. OK, it was a lot of work tQo! But I learned so much, including the practical skills of writing for different audiences, editing on the fly, and designing eye-catching layouts for publica­ tions. I also acquired less tangible abilities, such as how to help non­ profit organizations with their serious time, talent, and budget restrictions,” Shattuck said. During the semester, guest specialists spoke on a variety of topics, including software options, font design, principles of layout and grant writing for non­ profit organizations. One such specialist was CSUSM alumnus, Roman Koenig, who spoke about “Design and the Real World,” particularly in relation to his now defunct newspaper, The North County Current. Koenig began his design work as a student at CSUSM when he was editor of The Pride. ‘T focused on how students Story play versus photos, the use .of headlines, the importance of The idea of helping a non-profit chposing and designing the name organization and designing bro­ of a publication, are just a few chures, newsletters, and manuals elements needed for a good, and to help them out was pretty cool, easyto read publication” Especially since I’m a Literature , “Design is usually much and-Writing major and this is the more important in practical writ­ kind of stuff I love to do.

The Planning Design and Construction department is involved in this project and one of its visions is to be committed to managing and monitoring construction efforts in a timely and efficient manner. “There is one person devoted to the library construction budget,” said Dr. Stephen Garcia, chief financial officer and Vice president for Finance and Administrative Services at CSUSM. The base bid for con­ struction costs is $34,781,000, according to Garcia. Two alter­ nate amounts for additions to the library have been added, which includes costs for extra reading rooms and balconies, resulting in a total approximate budget of $35,240,000 accord­ ing to Garcia. Cal State San Marcos receives the majority of its fund­ ing from the State of California, not to mention a minimal por­ tion that comes from donations. The state has already paid approximately $13,861,000 and further payments are commit­ ted to Morley Construction, as each separate phase is com­ pleted, according to Garcia. The budget also includes a contingency budget for unfore­ seen emergencies and issues that might occur. “We have always maintained an adequate contin­ gency and are not over spent by any means,” said Garcia. “The budget is monitored very closely. We try not to put ourselves in the position to overspend.” Like any construction proj­ ect, obstacles have arisen, but they have been minimal. “There were concerns with the final design and details related to the structural framework, which will require a little more time,” said Dave Dennis, assistant director of construction. According to the Library March 2002 update, “the project is considered eight weeks behind schedule because of the delays to structural steel related to the final resolution of the seismic peer review com­ ments. Options to improve the schedule are being assessed and may include Saturday work for field erection.” As a result, the scheduled construction comple­ tion date is July of 2003, having originally been slated for com­ pletion in May of 2003. The scheduled opening date “has not been changed and is still within the schedule timeline,” Dennis said.

ACE presented its findings on college students last week in a report entitled, ‘Access & Per­ sistence.” ACE based its report on sev­ eral federal research projects tracking students for the past decade. The study differs from previous information-gathering studies, because it takes “student persistence” into account by fol­ lowing the roughly 20 percent of students who transfer from their original institution and complete their degrees elsewhere. Most students, who leave college for financial, personal, or educa­ tional reasons, return sometime in the following six years. Those who stay enrolled at the school where they began and earn a degree within five years make up less than half of students. Other research findings from the ACE study: —Traditional students who come straight from high school and attend full-time, with their parents paying tuition costs, make up 40 percent of under­ graduates. — College students are diverse: 55 percent are women, 30 percent are minorities and 20 percent are foreign-born or children of immigrants. Students who grew up speaking a lan­ guage other than English make up li percent. — challenging high-school A curriculum increases a student’s likelihood of attending college, as does having parents* with higher levels of education. —Regardless of family back­ ground, employment prospects for those who earn four-year degrees are about the same. The extra time most students are taking to graduate may limit the enrollment of new, incom­ ing students. Many colleges have responded to slower graduation rates by offering more counsel­ ing and tuition discounts. News Briefs Compiled by CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor Today at 10 a.m. on Lot “O,” the groundbreaking celebration for student housing took place. The $28-million project will house 460 students, with additional accommodations for resident assis­ tants, faculty and a facility manager. Each unit is built as an apartment, with its own dining area and kitchen and between 1,000 and 1,100 square feet. Each building has community meeting rooms and lounge areas. Each room will have high-speed Internet connections, and each unit will have a telephone and cable television. There will also be a commons building with a classroom, a student lounge with a catering kitchen and an outdoor amphitheatre. The project is scheduled for completion and occupancy in Fall 2003. Three Cal State San Marcos students won top honors at the 16th annual California State Uni­ versity Student Research Competition, hosted May 3 and 4 by CSU Long Beach. More than 150 students from 22 campuses participated. Kathleen Warmoth, a second-year graduate student in psy­ chology, took first place among graduate- students in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (Psychology) category for her research project titled “Potential role for NMDA receptors in opiate induced behavioral plasticity.” Ian Mendez placed second in the same category as Warmoth with his project, “The NMDA receptor antagonist MK-uOl inhibits tolerance to morphine-induced analgesia.” Mendez is in his first year of the psychology master’s program. Chris Shriver, a senior, placed first among undergraduates in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (Psychology) category, for her research project titled “Implicit connections with nature.” Shriver, who lives in Valley Center, has been working with faculty advisor Wesley Schultz, professor of psychology, to develop implicit measures for examining people’s attitudes about the environment. The winners were recognized at a banquet in Long Beach on May 4 and Will receive cash awards at a later date. Cal State San Marcos Adjusts Summer Work Hours in order to save energy.

She was bom in Brooklyn, New York, and explained how sometimes people comment on how clear she speaks English (without an accent.) Dr. Yuan Yuan, depart­ ment chair of Literature and Writing at CSUSM, discussed how to get acupuncture into the mainstream. He firmly believes in Chinese medicine and also questioned “why Chinese food is called ‘Chinese food,’ not ‘alternative food,’ but ‘Chinese medicine’ is known as ‘altemativemedicine.’” Curator of Chinese-American History at the San Diego Historical Society, Murray'Lee, discussed Ah Quin’s Diary. Quin was a Chinese immi­ grant who worked as cook in 1877-1879 for coal miners in Alaska, then later moved to San Francisco in 1880 and worked as a servant and cook for U.S. military officers. Four years later, he moved to San Diego and became a recruiter for the railroads and, over time, became a wealthy entrepreneur. Cassel worked with Murray on transcribing Quin’s diary. “Ah Quin broke every major stereo­ type,” Cassel commented.

The English department faculty group was given sev­ eral worksheets that addressed how students approach writing and the writing process. Fac­ ulty from middle and secondary schools, as well as university professors and students, were able to compare their responses in an effort to fill the educa­ tional gaps that exist in cur­ riculum. At the end of the conference, they were given a handout with the responses gathered during their discus­ sion, which will hopefully begin the process of filling those edu­ cational gaps.

Reed Chancellor The California State University 400 Golden Shore Long Beach, CA 90802-4275 Re: THE TRUTH Good Morning Chancellor Reed: As previously stated, I went to my alleged supervisor in late 1992, concerning a very serious problem in the warehouse. Without leaving his chair, and refusing eye contact, he denied there was a problem, I repeatedly went to him for help with this very serious problem and he repeatedly denied (always without eye contact), that there was a problem as the problem grew worse. I went to other management-type staff members and without a full investigation, they also denied that the problem existed, as said problem increased. Each denial implied that I was lying, Chancellor Reed. I feel now is the time to find out who is and who isn’t lying. Therefore, I respectfully request that you arrange a group polygraph exam for each of us involved in this very preventable brouhaha. Said exam to be given at the Escondido Center for the Arts, with the public and especially the video press invited, also as many non-management staff members as can be released. There will be no back-stabbing as was done to me on 8/17/92. No sucker punches as was given to me on a daily basis starting on 8/20/92 to present, until I was given them to myself. No, Chancellor Reed, the questions have already been asked, the facts (ie - the truth) have already been stated and denied. Now let the POLYGRAPH DECIDE. My alleged supervisor, in late 1992, ordered me to make a list. In other words, spy on another employee. This list will not be a few items, Chancellor Reed, nor a few dozen, but rather hundreds of items to which I will attest under full polygraph exam, in full public view. I would like to put closure to this very preventable brouhaha and at the same time get my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), caused by work-related stress, under control, and look forward to working with you on the same.

APSS is a newly charted group on this campus that chose to introduce itself to the campus community in style - literally. On Wednesday, APSS held a fashion show and art expo in the mezzanine level of the Cal State San Marcos Uni­ versity campus, which displayed fashions influenced by different cultures within the Asian com­ munity, as well as a few noted fash­ ions from the African commu­ nity. This was a fun-filled event equipped with friendly gimmicks for crowd participation, includ­ ing prizes and giveaways. The prizes ranged from three pairs of AMC movie tickets, golf.balls and flashlights, to red roses with silk thongs wrapped around the stems. The fashion shows featured original dress designs from tradi­ tional Korean Dress, Philippine Dress, and Chinese traditional style, exposing the campus com­ munity to the different flavor of Asian history and culture through style. And the message was well received. The beauty of the tra­ ditional garment styles was over­ whelming, but they did not stop there. In the second half of the show, APSS featured a new Asian-American female clothing designer, whose designs are known as Tuff Girl. Tuff Girl sashayed her sexy street designs, like basic Capris, or chino-style pants with lace and eccentric pat­ terns. “What is fashion without entertainment?” I thought, And boy, was I in for a delightful surprise. Aside from the groovy sounds of DJ Marlino and DJ Showtime, from Just 4 Fun Entertainment, mastering the melodic sounds in the back- COMMENTARY ground, making heads bob from right to left, the audience was entertained by guest vocalist Leslie Roister, who is a senior at Chula Vista High School. When asked about her aspi­ rations, Roister said, “Whitney Houston and the late Aaliyah Houghton inspire me to want to sing. I have been singing since I was three and it is the only thing that I have ever wanted to do since.” Spoken like a true star. Also in attendance was Evolution, a dance team from the UC Riv­ erside Chinese Student Asso­ ciation, and Down Low, a local hip-hop band that has recently been awarded the San Diego Music Award for the best hip-hop band in San Diego. W a i t . .. t h e r e ’s m ore...Weekend anchor, Lee Ann Kim from San Diego KGTV Channel 10 News was the key­ note speaker. Her speech addressed the elements of selfawareness, cultural responsibility, selflove, culture appreci­ ation, and lastly, the need for increased motivation in self and culture. Kim waited after her speech to discuss internships being offered by her network and answered any questions students had about journalism, c om mu nic at ion s, and/or media in general. “I left feeling really encouraged, because she told it like it is. She is so real,” said Chris Strong, a junior majoring in Liberal Stud­ ies. When asked why one should celebrate Asian History Month, Kim said, “Asian Americans cel­ ebrate to find themselves and learn more about self. Self-aware­ ness is crucial to the development Asian Pacific Student Society Models Display Traditional Clothing Photo courtesy o f Cathy Nguyen and strength of our community. Also, self-awareness [helps one] define who they are. Lastly, cel­ ebrating Asian History Month makes others aware of the many different cultures and languages within the Asian American com­ munity.” This was APSS’s first event on our campus. “The Asian Pacific Student Society (APSS) is a cultural organization at Cal State San Marcos. The purpose of APSS is to promote Asian Pacific American awareness, unity and diversity among the entire stu­ dent body. APSS is a voice in which students of all ethnicity and creeds may express their views, thoughts, and ideas about any matter pertaining to the stu­ dents at CSUSM,” said James Nguyen, president of APSS.

What you can expect from this album are several head bobbing party anthems, like their debut single “It Feels Good,” which features 3LW and their current single, “What You Gonna Do” featuring Pink. In addition, with cameo appearances by Redman, Method Man, Queen Latifah, Lil Jon, Carl Thomas, and more, this album allows you to explore a twisted collaboration of hip hop smoothed out on an R&B tip with a dirty south bounce appeal to it. Some highlights to take note of are “What You Wanna Do,” featuring Pink, “Swing Swang,” and “Red Light” featuring Queen Latifah. Remember, Naughty By Nature is no stranger to the music game. They’ve survived hip hop’s dishon­ orable stereotypes for short-lived careers, big singles, and one-hit wonders by producing over six chart-topping party anthems over a decade-long period, which helped mark and shape hip hop at the floor front. Thus, this album is no excep­ tion and will prove that they are truly “ICONS”: a person or thing that is uncritically adored, revered or admired, or is regarded as a symbol of a particular cul­ ture or sphere, an idol.

She is being replaced. And while that, in and of itself, is a situation worthy of public outcry (because she is commonly thought of by her stu­ dents as an outstanding and inspi­ rational instructor) it was not the main reason I was upset enough to write an article about it. What I was most annoyed by was the unprofessional manner with which she is being let go. (..J feel like I’m going to have to explain the situation all over again to make people under­ stand - which sucks because I hate to repeat myself - but unfor­ tunately it seems that’s what I’m going to have to do because it seems some people still just don’t get it...) This is how it went down . . . I was sitting in my German 102 class one day shortly after the Summer/Fall 2002 schedules came out. It was a few minutes until class was supposed to start* Frau Ronke was getting herself organized at the table up front. A student walked in with aforesaid schedule in hand and basically asked Ronke who was the person that was listed in the schedule as being the German instructor for fall, because it was the only name listed as teaching the two German classes offered in the fall. The name of the person listed as teaching German next semes­ ter is,Hughes. Ronke had no idea who Hughes was (FACT.) No one from the World Languages Dept, (read: her supervisors) had talked to her about being replaced by anyone named Hughes (FACT and until yesterday, May 15, there had still been no official contact with Ronke on this issue from CSUSM’s Dept, of World Languages.) Instead, she learned this sensitive information (I’ll wager that losing your job is a sensitive subject with most folks) from her students. How @#$%ed up is that? Please, just stop for a second and consider this. CSUSM class schedules are not developed arid printed overnight. From the time the course schedule planners start planning away our future classes, it takes weeks of planning and revisions (I’m assuming this based on how slowly most large bureaucracies typically function), not to mention the completion of the printing and shipping pro­ cesses, before those schedules are available to us in the student store. What this all means with regard to Ronke’s situation is that her supervisors in the Dept, of World Languages must have known, for a significant amount of time, that they had already decided to replace her with this Hughes person, and they simply chose not to tell her about it. In other words, Ronke got DISSED (I use, DISSED, instead of disre­ spected, intentionally because I feel the latter word is too polite and doesn’t adequately convey the true level of, for lack of a better word, disrespect involved). Although it’s apecdotal infor­ mation, it’s a FACT that every, person I’ve talked with about this situation agrees that Ronke got brutally DISSED. Those same people also agree that regardless of the FACT that she’s being canned, there’s a certain way people should be treated in pro­ fessional working relationships. If someone is going to be let go from a job, however ill-advised that dismissal may be, it is a generally accepted aspect of the unwritten social contract of civ­ ilized conduct that we all are obliged to adhere to, that this soon-to-be-unemployed person should be notified beforehand by their employer as soon as that employer knows for sure that they are going to fire that person. Nobody told Ronke what was in store for her. And still, to this day, there has been no official com­ munication with Ronke about her impending release. Unless one counts having the humilia­ tion of Ronke’s dismissal being announced to her entire class of students out of the course sched­ ule as official communication. If one can accept that, then there’s really very little for me to pro­ test. But, public sentiment tells me otherwise. Public sentiment tells me to protest this injustice. Public sentiment agrees that what has happened is unacceptable. But apparently there is a small minority of people who still don’t understand this simple truth and who still, simply, just don’t get it. Professor Stella T. Clark has distinguished herself as one of these people. In last week’s edi­ tion of The Pride, Prof. Clark wrote a rebuttal.that seemed to be directed toward my earlier opinion piece, German Instruc­ tor (and students) DISSED. But I can’t be exactly sure because she didn’t address my piece spe­ cifically. Instead she wrote, “...I must express my disappointment at The Pride's publication and placement of two recent pieces regarding the Dept, of World Languages and Hispanic Litera­ tures.” She went on to say, “...I do not wish to respond to the indi­ Just D o n ’ t G et vidual pieces but merely to point out a few facts, especially for your student readers:” Then, like an ardent defender of the status quo, Clark spent four paragraphs regurgitating the institutional policy regarding what kind of degree one needs to have, to attain a tenured position in the Dept, of World Languages (Ph.D.) and that the reason such a degree is required by the Dept, of World Languages is because its “..par­ amount concern [is] the highest quality education for our stu­ dents” (Ronke only has a master’s - but is going to be working on earning her Ph.D. this summer in Germany). Apparently, instruc­ tors with Ph.D.s offer a higher quality education to their stu­ dents because, “...unlike adjunct faculty* [they] are consistently and systematically reviewed by peers on their teaching, plus their scholarship, research and/or cre­ ative activity, and service to the university and the community.” OOOOHHH, OK, now I get it. So, let me get this straight, we’re firing Ronke because she doesn’t have a Ph D, right? Right. And we’re hiring a PhD. to replace her, right? Right. OK, so far I’m trackin’. But wait, I must be a little slow because I can’t seem to understand how this offi-. cial policy-based justification of Ronke’s release makes any sense when one considers that the Dept, of World Languages is planning to allow T.A.s (read: grad stu­ dents) to teach lower-level Span­ ish courses next Fall (FACT public knowledge); especially in light of the fact that next semester the only German classes being offered are 101 & 20L Maybe I don’t understand this because my brain isn’t getting enough oxygen. Maybe my brain isn’t getting enough oxygen because I’m drowning in the hypocrisy disseminated by Prof. Clark and the Dept, of World Languages. Please, someone, throw me a life preserver! I would not object to Ronke’s being let go if the Dept.’s selfproclaimed policy of being dedi­ cated to hiring Ph.D.s was strictly adhered to. Obviously that is a policy that is adhered to only when it suits the Dept, of World Languages. BUT! Regardless of this hypocrisy, inequity and injustice, Prof. Clark’s rebuttal still com­ pletely failed to address the crit­ ical element of this fiasco. That being, why wasn’t Ronke noti­ fied of her impending dismissal through official channels? I hate to use this word, but what has been done to Ronke is truly scan­ dalous. Clark objected to these two opinion pieces because in her opinion, these two pieces (if someone knows the other recent opinion piece she’s ^referring to, please, let me know) were placed in The Pride to facilitate, “..the dissemination of gossip and insulting remarks.” Yet, she doesn’t see fit to point out exactly what language in either of these two pieces should be considered gossip and/or insulting remarks. If my telling of the truth hurts someone’s feelings, or if my tell­ ing the truth is deemed by some­ one as gossip-mongering, or if someone feels insulted by the truth I’ve told, then they should speak up and tell everyone at CSUSM exactly what was said in my article that was not true, what was gossip, and/or what was insulting. By failing to document the basis of her grievances, Prof. Clark has engaged in “poor jour­ nalistic practices,” has failed to best serve her own interests in establishing the validity 6f her assertions, or the best interests of readers of The Pride. Fur­ thermore, I feel her refusal to openly challenge anyone specifi­ cally is unseemly and smacks of condescension. Condescension, because, by not acknowledging whom she’s directing her retort toward, she implies that the indi­ viduals who wrote the opinion pieces she’s rebutting are not worthy of her esteemed recog­ nition. Apparently, the. opinions of a professor inherently carry more weight than those of obvi­ ously misinformed students (who only saw Ronke get DISSED with their own eyes) and so don’t need to be supported by sound, “jour­ nalistic practices,” as Prof. Clark herself likes to say. Indeed, Prof. Clark is so adatnant that The Pride adhere to strictly sound journalistic prac­ tices that she said, “The opinion page is a forum for the paper’s views but I assume that the latter are founded on a thoughtful, fair process based on facts and research.” Actually, this would be an incorrect assumption. The opinion page is a forum for the views of the readers of The Pride, and to a lesser extent, its staff. It is also incorrect of Prof. Clark to assume that sound “journalistic practices” (i.e., researching what is being written about) are neces­ sary to any piece submitted to the opinion page of The Pride. That’s why it’s called an opinion page. Prof. Clark went on to decry the”... poor journalistic practices of your (read: The Pride’ ) writ­ s ers. More importantly, as the paper of the university where I have taught since it opened to students, [I hope] that The Pride will stay true to its name and set a better example as to what it means to exercise free speech responsibly and judiciously.” , For the record, I am not a writer for The Pride on a regular basis. Even if I were, though, it would be absurd of Prof. Clark to assert that what I’ve said is not true, and that what I’ve said is merely gossip and baseless It insults, if she wasn’t prepared to offer up her own contrary facts that spoke to the main point of the matter. Secondly, Prof. Clark’s rebuttal was a baseless, toothless, and largely irrelevant attempt to defend the indefensible wrong that has been committed against Ronke. She attempted to do this by distracting readers of The Pride by skirting around the main issue (the FACT that not one of her supervisors ever told Ronke she was being replaced), and only attempted to deal with the secondary issue of Ronke’s dismissal by hiding behind some policy that reveals itself to be hypocritical upon closer scrutiny (as in the FACT that T.A.S will teach lower-level Spanish next Fall). So please Prof. Clark, tell us, how can you advocate that The Pride exercise free speech more responsibly and judiciously when you yourself haven’t writ­ ten a Very responsible and judi­ cious opinion piece? The students forced to suffer the whims of the Dept, of World Languages may not have Ph.D.s, hut we are not fools who can be so easily hoodwinked by nonsensical patronizing dogma like the letter that was submitted by Prof.- Clark. We can read between the lines. We can rec­ ognize bureaucratic doublespeak when we see it. When we ask, “Why wasn’t Ronke notified of her impending dismissal?” and all we get in response is something akin to what Prof. Clark wrote, which doesn’t even attempt to answer that very important question, immediately we smell something rotten in the state of the Dept, of World Languages. As long as the supervisors of the Dept, of* World Languages insist on not being completely honest with the students of CSUSM and Ronke, I’ll continue to harbor just as much contempt for them as they’ve demonstrated towards Ronke, her students, and all the students of CSUSM. If this means I won’t be able to take German and Spanish classes here any­ more, then so be it. The amount of courses offered in these spe­ cialties is an insult to the students of CSUSM, anyway. Before you leave for sumirier, if you’re so inclined, please feel free to tell me how right or wrong I am by-sending an email to, toper004@csusm.edu. Also, if you’ve ever taken German with Frau Ronke and you see her walk­ ing by, let her know she’s got your moral support. I know she’ll appreciate it, as will all the stu­ dents in her German classes.

It’s been a long, strange ride. Taking Initiative: CSUSM Students Will Go Far By AMANDA WOLFE For The Pride Today was an amazing day. I realized for the first time, I mean really realized, like down to my toes, that one person CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Now, of course, like every one of you I have heard this saying many times before. I have heard it from primary school teachers, history books, counselors and the pro­ fessors at this university, but not until today has it meant so much to ine. Today it rang clear in my world that people who put their minds toward a purpose CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I went ,to the Environmental Club meeting this afternoon, the last meeting of the semester, my last meeting. I will be graduat­ ing this semester. Today, we got a report from a girl who had come to the club meeting a couple of weeks ago to ask for advice in solving a problem she had with her work. When she came in she was still in shock from her last work experience, relaying to us that the bar where she worked did not recycle. In fact, they had discouraged her from recycling when she made a personal effort. We, just being students, did not know the quick and easy answer to her problem. Obviously, she did not want to lose her job over the matter, but the dissidence in her mind was growing. We all sat together and talked the issue over, trying to find some possible solutions. We deduced it down to a simple point of reason that if all of the employees felt that it was important that the company recy­ cled, the employees as a whole, could pressure the company to do so. We promised to support her in any way we could with infor­ mation from some of our class reports. She was grateful, and said she would keep us updated. Two weeks later, she told one of our members that the staff was in agreement that the com­ pany should recycle, and they collectively chose a representa­ tive to speak at the next mana­ gerial meeting, and he would not take no for an answer. This was an inspiring moment for me. You never know what people are really capable of doing until they step up to the plate.

As the former president and CEO of a company in which I was a major stockholder, my perspec­ tive on the controversy surround­ ing the dismissal / departure of Frau Ronke from her teaching position at Cal State San Marcos is different from the average stu­ dent’s. I was very supportive of the establishment of a state uni­ versity in the North San Diego County and pleased when it finally received approval. I am taking my third semes­ ter of German through the Open University program for people over 65. These are the first lan­ guage courses I’ve taken since high school, 55 years ago, and my first college courses in about 40 years. In general, my expe­ rience has been a very positive one. I have found my instructor, Astrid Ronke, to be enthusiastic in her presentation of the class work, and the students in my class to be responsive to her. It’s my understanding that many of the students in the first two semesters were taking the classes to fulfill a mandatory lan­ guage requirement. That still did not seem to result in a lack of interest in our class, and I believe that was due largely to Ms. Ronke’s stimulus, in the way she involved students in the course work and in the extracurricular activities of the German Club. As a former company executive, I must agree that any company and in this case, the communication with employees and for supervisory personnel to keep everyone ‘in the loop’ as to what is going on in the organiza- of 2002.

Beginning its third official season in Septem­ ber, the team has high hopes. “We took third last year and this year we’re hoping to take it all,” said Coach Khalid AlShafie. The team had a record of 5-5-1 last year and is hoping that this year its record will improve. According to coach AlShafie, “We’d like to have at least 18-20 players this year.” When asked what they’re looking for in players, Antonio Zepeda Jr, founder of the club, said. “Expe­ rience.”^Coach Al-Shafie added, “We’re looking for a high level of experience. Hopefully club level or even college level.” One thing that was added as a necessity for the new players was, “Disci­ pline.” The team is looking to play a minimum of 12 games for the upcoming season, and is hoping for at least eight of the games to be at home. The team practices on Fri­ days from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. with the next three practices con­ sisting of tryouts. “We want to see what [the newcomers] are made of. It’ll give us a chance to see the skill level,” said coach AlShafie. The team will continue to practice on Friday throughout the summer, with an additional day of practice still undecided. The team has six seniors who will be graduating next year. Once they graduate, the new­ comers to the team will have to keep the team solid for the coming years. The team, now a club, will hopefully become an official “sport” soon. With the building of The Clark Field House, the team will have the proper facilities and by then, they hope to have the commitment of the college. For more information, con­ tact the Associated Student Inc. office, Commons 203, or call 760-750-4990.

One venue option is Palomar College. Francine Martinez, Vice President for Student Affairs, said, "We are committed to doing whatever we can in order to make the Palomar Athletic Field feel like CSUSM." She added, "The Del Mar Fairgrounds had been another venue option, but unfortunately those plans fell through." Martinez says she is optimistic that the students will embrace this idea. Mandy Tester, a CSUSM student said, "As a graduating senior, I cannot imagine my commencement ceremony taking place at a college I have never attended." Another student, Holly Sheets added, "I will be disappointed if my commencement ceremony takes place at Palomar because I feel as though all of my college memories have been made at Cal State." Richard Riehl, Director of Enrollment Services said, "We' are looking beyond 2003, and the University will be focused in finding a permanent place to hold the commencement ceremony." This year's graduation, however, will be held at CSUSM's Forum Plaza June 2-3.

"My main goal will be to maintain and enhance the strong and capable faculty, high quality academic programs, and the emphasis on close interaction with students, while facilitating the continuing development and growth of the college," said McWilliams. "That will require that I devote a good deal of time and attention to getting to know the various programs and learning about the needs of the faculty and the students. Thus, my immediate goal will be to listen and learn." McWilliams comes to CSUSM from the University of Houston, Clear Lake, where he was Dean of the School of Human Sciences and Humanities.

SEGALL Pride Editor Three CSUSM students played "astronauts" for 10 days when they performed zero-gravity experiments at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Don Bennett, Jon Campbell and James Garcia returned from the center on April 11 after testing two emergency airway devices in zero gravity as part of the Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunity Program of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). In order to take part in the NASA program, the Cal State students were required to create an original experiment that could be tested in zero gravity. They competed against 300 schools and were one of 14 teams chosen to take part in the program that allowed them to f ly in zero gravity 30 times in a Boeing KC 135 j et, which Bennett fondly referred to as the t4vomit comet." Campbell and Garcia, biology students, and Bennett, a paramedic who is fulfilling his premed requirement at Cal State, chose an experiment that would determine what emergency airway device would work best in zero gravity. They tested the standard Endotracheal Tube and the new Combi Tube. Bennett explained that the Combi Tube is a breathing apparatus that can be inserted "blindly," without a paramedic or doctor having to look while he/she inserts the device. When asked which of the tubes worked better in zero gravity, Bennett responded, "It doesn't look like there's much of a difference." The students hope to publish their research, but their findings must be peer-reviewed before they can release more information.

At one point they took sobriety tests that required them to take off their oxygen masks for a brief period of time to see how the lack of oxygen would effect their bodies. _ The team also toured NASA, including mission control and the Neutral Buoyancy Lab, which is a large pool used for pre-space mission training. "It's a great experience," commented Bennett. "How ofteir do people go up to NASA and do research? It gives you the opportunity to do the whole scientific process in a few months rather than a few years." The students prepared for their experiment last semester after they heard about the program from their friend, Michelle Inzunza, a SDSU student and paramedic. Biology professor, Dr. Vicki Fabry, advised the team, which also included Inzunza, and Laura Elliott and Gerhardt Koing, both SDSU students. "This is a program that students at Cal State can do at any time, and they [NASA] want to see more people going," said Bennett. "I want to encourage people to look me up if they want to do something like this." Bennett can be e-mailed at don-bennett@home.com. Holocaust Survivor Mel M ermelstein T ells H i s S tory By LINDSAY BRADY Pride Staff Writer Mel Mermelstein, a Holocaust survivor and Director of the Auschwitz Study Foundation, was a featured speaker on Wednesday, May 9, for Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall's History 202 class. Before introducing Mermelstein, Sepinwall asked the audience to close their eyes and imagine all the people they loved. Then she asked the' class to imagine their family "and friends all killed. "Imagine you were left all alone, the sole survivor left to ponder why you were saved," said Sepinwall. "Then to have people say you imagined it all and that you had to prove the Holocaust happened or be convicted as a liar internationally." Mermelstein wrote "By Bread Alone," a metfioir of his survival of the Holocaust and a tribute to his family. In 1991 his story was made into the film, "Never Forget," starring Leonard Nimoy. "I could talk for weeks, months, even years, and I could never tell of the barbarism and horror of the Holocaust," said Mermelstein, a native o f Czechoslovakia. In 1944, 17-year old Mermelstein, along with his parents, brother and two sisters, were taken from their home and sent to Auschwitz-Birkeriau, a death camp. The words on the entrance of the camp gates read: "Work will make you free." He told the audience about some of the men, women and children that died from the mass genocide. "I could talk for weeksf months, even years, and I could never tell of the barbarism and horror of the Holocaust - Mel Mermelstein After working as a slave laborer until January 1945, a malnourished Mermelstein and 2,000 other Jewish prisoners were evacuated as the United States army advanced through Europe. The rest of his family was killed. While in the death camps, Mermelstein made a promise to C ollege S tudents D onate E g g s By AMBER ZINSKY Pride Staff Writer In recent decades, science has made it possible for infertile couples to conceive, at least in part, biological children. One of the ways in which this is possible is by egg donation. The donor's egg is fertilized with the intended father's sperm outside of the body. It is then implanted in the womb of the woman who is unable to produce her own eggs. Some of the most popular places to recruit donors are college newspapers, and CSUSM's The Pride is no exception. For over a year, The Pride has been running an egg donation advertisement that offers $4,000 compensation in exchange for the eggs of female students ages 20-30. Susan Hernandez, Program Director of the Procreative Egg Donor Program (the program advertised in The Pride), recently increased the compensation from $3,500 to $4,000. "There's a lot of competition," said Hernandez. Some students, however, said they feel uncomfortable about the advertisement. "I feel a little uneasy about it being in the school paper," said Rebecca Silva, a student at CSUSM. Student Health Services, a medical resource for students at CSUSM, has no information on egg donations. "No one has ever asked us about egg donations. I'm not surprised that students would know that [egg donation] is not something in our scope of practice," said Dr. Karen Nicholson, Director of Student Health Services. Some of the students' options for understanding the medical risks and side effects include consulting a physician, soliciting information from the egg donor program, and/or talking to someone who has gone through the process. Quincy Sultzbaugh, a 32-year-old student at CSUSM, has donated eggs a total of five times, but not for the company that advertises in the school newspaper. She donated for the Center for Surrogate Parenting (CSP). The fertility drugs of CSP are administered orally or by injection, include Lupron, Pergonal and/or Metrodin. These drugs are intended to increase the production of viable eggs a woman yields per month. According to Sultzbaugh, the medications also cause a weight gain of four to seven pounds, fatigue, soreness, bloating and an increased risk of osteoporosis and ovarian cancer. "It feels like my ovaries are balloons-full and bloated," said Sultzbaugh about the side effects. When asked about the longterm effects of egg donation, Sultzbaugh said, "We won't know for several years. I don't care when I see how much happiness I can bring to [infertile] couples." Aside from physical effects of donating eggs, behavioral changes must be made. "It's just like you're pregnant," Sultzbaugh said, "No smoking, no drinking, you can't have sex and you have to sign a contract. If you violate the contract, oh my God, I don't even want to know what happens-it would not be good." Since the fertility medication is paid for, either by the fertility company or by the infertile couple, if the donor becomes pregnant before the eggs are harvested or otherwise violates the contract, she must reimburse the company for the price *of the medication in addition to other penalties. The medication costs anywhere from $75-100 per ampule daily, some days requiring up to three ampules (a unit of measurement roughly equivalent to a milliliter). his father that he would be a witness to the world of what happened if he survived. Since then, Mermelstein has educated and reminded people of the Holocaust. The f ilm, "Never Forget," was based on Mermelstein's battle against the Institute for Historical Review (IHR). In 1978, the IHR had offered a cash reward for proof that "Jews were gassed in gas chambers at Auschwitz" and to prove that there was a Holocaust. Mermelstein said he was shocked by the IHR, especially when the organization said that his parents and siblings didn't really die and that they were living somewhere in Europe. On August 5, 1985, Mel Mermelstein received monetary compensation from The Historical Review and an apology for his "pain, anguish and suffering." Professor Andrea Liss of the Holocaust Art class became tearful while watching the film. "Mermelstein is an incredible human being," she said. "My thanks and my admiration for his stamina to stand up to such perverse actions of mass genocide. The extermination of family and to deal with it straightforEgg donation is also a fairly lengthy process. Although each program varies, the general procedure includes completing an application, which contains photos of the donor as a child and photos of the donor's children, if she has them. "Idon't care when I see how much happiness I can bring to [infertile] couples yj - Egg donor Quincy Sultzbaugh when asked about the consequences of egg donation "They like to see what they look like-your own flesh and blood," said Sultzbaugh. The application also includes a questionnaire about the donor's likes and dislikes, educational background and medical history. The doiior profile is placed in a donor album from which potential couples choose from a variety of donors. Once selected, the donor undergoes a battery of psychological tests. If cleared by the psychologist, a physical examination is done, including pelvic ultrasound, drug testing, genetic testing and an STD screen. If everything goes well, the donor will start on Lupron, which sends her body into a pseudomenopausal state so that her ovaries may be stimulated with fertil- Mel Mermelstein was a featured speaker at CSUSMfor Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall 's history class.

I'm getting my doctorate in WWII, so any information is great." Mermelstein described Holocaust survivors as no different than other people. One question he said that they might all ask, however, is whether or not this genocide could happen again. He commented, "This took place in a civilized world, with people like us." The Arts & Lectures for Instruction co-sponsored this visit. ity medications when the timing is right. The donor then begins an ovarian stimulation drug, typically Pergonal or Metrodin, which tells the body to mature more than one egg. The eggs are then retrieved vaginally via ultrasound-guided aspiration and placed in a sterile dish with the intended father's sperm for fertilization. This marks the end of the donor's responsibilities, and what happens from here is up to the recipient couple. According to the Center for Disease Control's National Summary and Fertility Clinic Reports of 1998, the "Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Success Rates," donor eggs were used in 7,756 cycles, about 10 percent of all ART cycles. ART deals with fertility treatments, namely the handling of the egg and sperm combination from a woman or her donor in the laboratory and the return of the sperm-egg combination to the woman's body or her donor. "A cycle starts when a woman begins taking fertility drugs or having her ovaries monitored for follicle production," according to ART. Five percent of the cycles reported were donor eggs. The 1998 report states that "of the approximately 60 million women of reproductive age in 1995, about 1.2 million, or two percent, had had an infertility related medical appointment within the previous year . and an additional 13 percent had received infertility services at some time in their lives." �Campus News The Pride Tuesday, May 2 2,20013 Plagiarism Amongst CSUSM Students By ROLAND A RIAS JR. Pride Staff Writer One of the pressures that students face during college is t he temptation to cheat. Like all other college campuses, Cal State San Marcos has its share of plagiarism problems. According to the Title 5 California Code of Regulations Section 41301 and the University catalog, p lagiarism is d efined as, "Intentionally or knowingly representing the words, ideas, or work of another as one's own in any academic exercise." Plagiarism has many forms and the use of technology has made it more of a challenge for students t o overcome. Small class sizes and a relatively low faculty-to-student ratio do not necessarily prevent plagiarism f rom happening. " Our campus faces the same amount of challenges combating plagiarism that other universities do," said Assistant Dean of Students Tim Bills. Statistics on plagiarism have b een compiled regarding plagiarism on college campuses. Front Lines >>Article continued from pg. 1 U.S. imperialism on notice that we will no longer stand by in silence while they create barriers to divide us." Ricardo Favela, MEChA President for the San Marcos campus, says he looks forward t o more student involvement in spite o f CSUSM's "conservative" atmosphere. Favela said, " There's a lot of things happening that, even though we're at a university, we don't know about. It's been said that students are the ones that promote social change. But t hat's not happening here. I can't explain why, but the community is taking care of itself." Lupe Canseco, a junior, said that as former MEChA President at San Dieguito Academy, she was not exposed t o the common, highly political issues faced by A frican Americans and Filipinos. " In prisons and in schools, if we attack each other, we're ignoring that we share a common struggle, and we create a space where the system can continue to control u s," Canseco said. The coalition is made up of five member organizations. The first t o report at the conference was Mexicanos Unidos en Defensa del Pueblo, represented by Hector Muro. He described the genesis of his group eight years ago a fter a community activist was "beaten and arrested by the Fallbrook S heriff s Department." According to http://www.plagiarism.org: • Almost 80 percent of college students admit to cheating at least once • Thirty-six percent of undergraduates admit to plagiarizing written material at least once • Ninety-percent of students believe that cheaters are never caught or have never been appropriately disciplined While there are some minor instances of plagiarism that can be addressed and f ixed with proper citation of sources and more knowledge of MLA and APA format, the more severe forms of plagiarism such as use of the Internet and using other students' papers are met with severe academic discipline. In most cases, incidents of plagiarism and academic dishonesty are handled when the faculty report the incident; the reports and are also handled by Assistant Dean Bills. Bills said that there are many reasons why students feel that they need t o cheat. A mong the many factors that drive students to plagiarize are low self-esteem, poor time management, poor attendance, stress management, looking for an easy way out, avoiding academic or personal challenges, and maintaining a certain GPA for financial aid or admittance to a graduate program. Among these factors, however, Bills says that most students that cheat are the B students who are trying t o get an A, or A students who feel the need to maintain high standards. Students that are failing the course are not as likely to cheat, according to Bills. The use of the Internet and technology has only made plagiarism easier. Web pages such as http://www.cheater.com, http:/ /www.ezwrite.com, and h ttp:/ Avww.essaydepQt.com are j ust some of the many websites that provide papers for students. Complete with footnotes and bibliographies, students have access to these entire papers at the click of a mouse. The u se of these websites however is heavily monitored by the university and are easily picked off by faculty and the O ffice of the Dean of Students. The university is not oblivious to the mediums of cheating that are available online. "Keeping track of Internet sites that provides essays online of the same concerns were expressed by all of the groups at the conference.

Depending on what level of plagiarism that a student is caught, academic discipline can range f rom failing a paper, failing a course, probation, to suspension f rom the university. Other consequences that result f rom plagiarism are lost trust of a faculty member and a written record in a student's academic file. Bills handles most of the cases regarding plagiarism and takes more serious cases to a committee for a formal hearing should the situation warrant it. According to Bills, t here have been instances where cases of plagiarism have b een handled between the student and the faculty member, but there have been occasions when the university has had to suspend and expel students f or plagiarism. "All instances of plagiarism are a big deal," Bills said. Most students think that the university's low tolerance of plagiarism is effective in deterring academic honesty. "I think that the university's policy on pla- giarism is good. People need to either create their own ideas or give the credit where it is deserved," said junior and Spanish major Estay Paulsen. Even with the university's policy on plagiarism, many students see incidents of plagiarism around them on campus. "I think the school makes a large issue about plagiarism happening l eft and right," said junior and literature and sociology major Jeff Cudmore. "As far as the students paying for their education goes, they should have sense enough to incorporate their own beliefs and thoughts into their work than t o steal someone else's and not give credit unto them." As plagiarism is a part of campus life, there are many things that students can do t o deter the need to cheat. "Before thinking of cheating, t hink of the factors that are leading you t o cheat. Attack those problems f irst before making a decision that could have more repercussions that are serious," advised Bills. "Be t rue to yourself, be t rue to your values, and b e t rue to your university. University life is a time of moral and academic development."

You got to have a good time, not thinking of money, but playing music that means something to you." I've heard Pollak perform, and his vocal style can be described as the style of Bob Marley. The Dealers send out an optimistic, energetic vibe as they play, and I was entranced by their passion in music that flowed through them. Pollak adds that The Dealers are up to caliber instrumentally and there are "amazing vibes" between all the members. He says his passion to sing began when his father cranked up Motown and oldies music when he was a child. When he was 15, the root sounds of Bob Marley, Jacob Miller and Lee Perry were added to Pollak's musical taste. "There is something about music that everyone can relate Arts & Entertainment to; there are chemicals inside us that make us feel," he commented. Pollak, who is both lead singer and rhythm guitarist for The Dealers, also plays with drummer Dan Bradley; bass guitar, Scott Peterson; lead guitarist Chris Lavigne; organist arid clarinet player Brian Teal; and percussionist Christian Mills. The Dealers say they would love to be able to get their message out and expand. They also agreed that it would be incredible to meet new people. Pollak says he wouldn't mind making a living at his true passion: singing reggae. For the time being, however, Pollak attends Cal State San Marcos and says, he hopes to graduate in the next semester or two in sociology. He chose Cal State because he said SDSU was too crowded and because he just wanted to f inish school. When asked about this musician's opinion of the art on campus, Pollak responded, "I like the Cesar Chavez statue, but I live 45 minutes away, so I don't spend much time on campus." To find out more about The Dealers, e-mail them at iredealealers @hotmail.com. Pollak also said that he hopes people will check out The Reader for more information on his band and encourages everyone to come see them perform. Local Band Square Go Square Go performing at Chain Reaction. (Courtesy Photo/Square Go) By LISA LIPSEY Pride Staff Writer Square Go is San Marcos' most recent European invasion. The local British pop band features the talents of four Palomar College students: Scott Mitchell and Scottish brothers Martin, Gerald and Paul Coughlin. "A Square Go is a oneon-one fist fight," Martin said. The band has been together for almost four years, so they have done some growing up. Martin explained, "When we were younger, the name really fit, we used to be a rowdy bunch, but now we've mellowed out." With their creative talent, it's clear that all four guys, before birth, snuck out of the womb to play guitar. Square Go began rehearsing together in March 1997. They chose the name Square Go from the Scottish film, "Trainspotting." The band is especially proud that they have strong bass lines and three songwriters/singers. The sound of Square Go varies depending on which Coughlin brother is singing lead vocals. They are real, everyday guys who are out there having a good time. They primarily sing from three genres: rock, pop and hip-hop. Some of their inspiration comes from bands like the Beatles, Rage Against the Machine, Limp Bizkit and Matchbox 20. "Being in a band is often times like a circus with all the flashy lights, girls, parties and music," said singer and co-song The Pride A Knight's Tale Heath Ledger, the knight in shining armor in the newfilm,"A Knight's Tale." (Courtesy Photo/Imdb.com) ByZACHARYPUGH Pride Staff Writer If high drama, lost love, and gruesome battles of yesteryear in an epic tradition are your expectations of "A Knight's Tale," then this movie is not for you. However, if action, f un and lightheartedness in a passable storyline with a good-looking cast suit your tastes, then I encourage you to see this film. Upon arriving at the theatre with a pocket of overflowing grocery store candy, I prepared for a not-so-exciting film with an Australian heartthrob playing a fresh-faced dim-witted youth; this was not the case with , "A Knight's Tale," which stars Heath Ledger as the pauper-turnedknight William Thatcher. writer Martin Coughlin. "Make the most of life because it won't last." The members of Square* Go are definitely entertainers. Mitchell, in particular, stands out in concerts with his trademark shoeless performance and crazy energy displayed between his intricate bass playing. "The three front guys are by the microphones, so they're limited in their movement and the drummer is stuck behind his kit, so I have to be more of the energy," said Mitchell. In, between classes and jobs, Square Go has made a name for itself. With about 300 shows to date, the band has performed throughout California and in Phoenix/ Arizona. They have also self-released three CDs; Different Skies and Sunshine were recorded in the studio, but their latest album, LIVE, has a bunch of new, unreleased live tracks that were recorded over the past year. Fans can hear some of their songs or purchase their CDs on MP3.com or by e-mailing Square Go at squarego@hotmail.com: Square Go is taking some time off to write songs. They will return to the studio later this year to record a new CD. Watch for Square Go this summer, they plan to do several local gigs. Thatcher, a knight's squire, steals the identity of his boss who dies during a jousting match. A wayward writer, Geoffrey Chaucer (played by Paul Bettany) forges papers of nobility for Thatcher in exchange for food, clothes and adventure. Together Thatcher and Chaucer create Ulrich von Liechtenstein, Thatcher's new knight persona. Thatcher uses the disguise of the fictitious Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein of Guilderland and new armor to compete in the famous jousting games of the nobility. After a series of successful jousts, the youthful would-be knight strives to win the heart of the beautiful maiden Jocelyn (played by newcomer Shannyn Sossamon) and to become the jousting knight champion. Accompanied by Chaucer and his two haphazardly comedic squires, Roland (Mark Addy) and Wat (Alan Tudyk), Thatcher, or rather Sir Ulrich, becomes the best jousting knight. Well, almost the best. There is one opponent that stands in his way of completing his trek to knighthood and the heart of Jocelyn: Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell). The musical score in this film is the most interesting part. The opening scene is a medieval stadium scene filled with peasants shaking their fists to Queen's "We Will Rock You." Other tunes that follow Queen's anthem throughout the movie are songs like David Bowie's "Golden Years," Thin Lizzy's "The Boys are Back in Town," and what better music to get pumped for a jousting match than War's "Low Rider." Although this type of music is not typical in this genre of film, it blends quite well and puts a relatively strong youthful spin on an otherwise dreary era. And as Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein says, "Welcome to the new world." "A Knight's Tale" wasn't meant to be a f ilm dealing with social issues or anything of a serious nature. The heart of this movie appears to be light and f un, with a little cheesy humor. It made this viewer walk out into the bright light with a smile. This movie is 132 minutes and rated PG-13 by the MPAA for action violence, some nudity and brief sex-related dialogue. Shannyn Sossamon, playing Jocelyn, stars with Ledger.

If you answered yes, then you should have attended my Japanese class on April 30. Students Serena Cohenour and Mark Sablan revealed the secrets on how to make delicious California Rolls during their class presentation. "My favorite part of the presentation was when I actually got to eat the food," said student Joel Wiggington. When asked how it tasted, he said, "It was definitely one of the best California Rolls I've had in awhile." Student Jason Ubalde added, "The process is quite f un and short." If you didn't already know, the California Roll consists of crab, avocado, cucumber, seaweed, fish eggs (sometimes) and rice. The rolls can b e served as a dinner or as an appetizer. California Roll Ingredients: Japanese Cucumber Bamboo mat Salt Rice Sugar Avocado Vinegar Seaweed Sesame Seeds Kewpie Mayonnaise (optional) Smelt Roe (optional) The first thing you must do is wash and cook the white rice. When the rice is done cooking, mix in the vinegar, sugar and salt into a bowl. If you like smelt roe and mayonnaise you can mix them with imitation crab. Slice the cucumbers and avocado. Next, lay the seaweed f lat and apply a layer of rice covering the entire seaweed. The layer should be a quarter of an inch thick. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on the rice, and f lip it over. ' Place a little bit of the crab mixture in the middle of the seaweed then apply the slices of avocado and cucumber on opposite sides of the crab mixture. Next, it is ready to be rolled. You can do this either by hand or preferably with a bamboo mat. Now it is ready to eat. You can dip it with soy sauce and wasabi if that is your preference. It may take you a couple tries to master the California Roll, but once you've mastered this recipe, you will be the envy of all your friends. �The Pride Arts & Entertainment Tuesday, May 22,2001 5 N oontime B rown B ag Concert Series Randy Graves plays the Australian didjeridu outside the Dome. (Pride Photo/Amy Bolaski) Didjeridu P erformance Brings Sounds o f A ustralia a n d I ndia t o C ampus By CLAY BABER Pride Staff Writer Almost every seat w as taken outside The Dome last Tuesday as students and faculty gathered to h ear the sounds of the Australian didjeridu played by Randy Graves. Graves and h is band were invited t o play in this concert series by Visual and P erforming A rts Professor Merryl Goldberg, and introduced to t he audience by P rofessor Bonnie Biggs. Mellow sounds filled the air as Graves and h is band played an hour-long set that combined the unique sound of t he didjer- idu with melodies created by other world music instruments. Glenn Goodwin accompanied Graves on the bass guitar, while Tony Lazzaro played a variety o f d rums and other percussion instruments. Tony Karasek added an unusual sound to the p erformance as he played various instruments of India, including the sitar, t he tabla, the ghatam, and the dumbek. Graves indicated that he h as b een playing the dijeridu for eight years and also gives lessons. The didjeridu is what he refers to as "a drone i nstrument" that is m ade f rom the t runk of a eucalyptus tree t hat has b een hollowed out by termites. Graves played t hree d ifferent t ypes of these instruments. He explained, "each didjeridu plays one note and has its own unique characteristics." L azarro said, " While we have played together for years, t his group h as only been performing together for three days." Despite their limited experience playing as a group, the band performed flawlessly for the duration of the performance. The music ranged f rom' relaxing, instrumental melodies, to more upbeat, rhythmic selections that featured f unky bass lines and heavier d rum beats. O ne of the more creative segments of the p erformance was what Graves refers t o as "Story Time." D uring this segment, which he normally performs for elementary school students, h e told a story with hand gestures while utilizing the didjeridu to create the sounds of d ifferent Australian animals. Following the p erformance, Graves and his band expressed their gratitude for being invited to play on the CSUSM campus and took the time to display their unique instruments t o curious audience members.

Valle described the band's style a s a "combination of A fro-Caribbean music and j azz, which creates a blend of Latin j azz." Valle and Equinox played selections f rom several of their albums, including some f rom their most recent release, Third Voyagef which won the SDMA's award for best blues or j azz album in 1998. Jazz writer and critic Jim Merod has called the CD something that "hits artistic course to avoid cliche and stereotype of any sort." Their exotic, 6-string blend of Latino j azz had several members of the audience dancing and inquiring as to where and when the band would be playing next. W hile Valle and Equinox have never played for a school before, Valle said, "We're here because we know Bonnie Biggs. It's been a pleasure to come and play up here - and we hope we get called again." Valle, who hails f rom Chiapas, Mexico, said, " I've b een a musician all my life. We all have. All these guys grew up playing music." Equinox includes Venezuelan pianist Allan Phillips, P uerto Rican percussionist Gene Perry, Czech bassist Peter Skrabak and Mexican d rummer Cesar Lozano. Holocaust Art Class Pays Tribute to Holocaust Victims and Survivors By LISA L IPSEt Pride Staff Writer Students f rom the Holocaust A rt, Photography and Film course have displayed artwork in the CSUSM Library. A fter spending a semester exploring Holocaust representation, the students were asked to design their own memorial or create an art p roject. Instructor Dr. Andrea Liss explained the class' focus, "We are talking about strategies f or respectfully representing the people who were so horrifically killed by the Nazis and those who survived, the ^millions of people who were disgraced and disrespected in the past." Students from the Holocaust Art class prepare their artwork for display in the library. (Pride Photo/Lisa Lipsey) This is the first year the class has b een o ffered at CSUSM, " The class c onfronts tough and o ften despairing realities. But it is not despair that I want my students t o c arry with them throughout and a fter the class," said Liss. " It's an awareness of our blessings, in tandem with the strength to reach out to others d ifferent from ourselves, t o fight racism globally and locally, and to question misguided authority. To b e aware that visual a rt is a p owerful cultural, political and spiritual force." Along with viewing d ifferent a rtists' works and watching films representative of the Holocaust, students attended the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles and also met 92-year old survivor Cecila Silverstern. Student A nne Carriker commented, " I highly recommend that everyone go t o the Museum of Tolerance. It is deeply moving and well worth your time." Their artwork will b e on display all this week at the CSUSM Library. G erman P rogram P resents a n E vening of T heater By K EVIN FRISK Pride Staff Writer The G erman Program presented the first G erman TheaterEvening on Wednesday, May 16. Students f rom G erman 101, 102 and 201 classes p erformed live skits, sang ballads, and presented v ideo projects t o the audience gathered in ACD 102. Even though the skits Were recited in G erman, anyone would have been able t o enjoy the humorous videos and skits without having k nown a word of the language. All skits were introduced in both G erman and English. T he most incredible p art of t he evening w as that 101 and 102 G erman students p erformed many of the skits. A number of these students h ad never spoken a word of G erman b efore the •HI Studentsfrom the German Program perform for the crowd.

German professor Astrid Ronke attributes this to the misconception that surrounds the German language. "Students believe that studying G erman is difficult and not practical," said Ronke. "Tonight, even b eginning students proved this to b e untrue." The G erman Theater-Evening showed students how f un and interesting a foreign language course can be, and h opefully dispelled certain myths about the difficulty of the German language. While the German TheaterEvening was great entertainment, I found strong messages sent to the audience and actors alike: t he G erman language is very much alive, and the knowledge of another language is an important skill to acquire. Professor Ronke has proposed to establish a German minor at Cal State. The University's German program, founded in 1997, has grown considerably, according to Ronke, ,who also says she feels it is important for students to have the option to minor in German.

Actually a couple travesties, both of immense proportions guaranteed to effect the lives of each student. Colossal, to say the least. If you are a liberal arts major, business major, chemistry, biology, or anything else like that, you can stop here. If you are a computer science major, please, read on. You are about to lose one of your own. Stanley Wang, known humorously as the "Terminator," would blend well with the backdrop of the computer science industry.

Of course, growth is also part of the picture." Dr. McWilliams' position at Cal State will also include a wider range of responsibility than his UHCL role. "The School of Human Sciences and Humanities at UHCL comprises fewer than 30 percent of the faculty, students, and credit hour production of the University, while the COAS at CSUSM is at about 70 percent." CEO? He is my teacher. Which brings me to travesty number one. Everyone in the department knows t hat Dr. Wang can do anything—anything technical, anything high-paying. But he selected teaching. While he's leaving because of departmental reasons, his 12-minute speech brought attention to how little computer science teachers get paid. I mean, according to a recent study, computer science and engineering majors are the highest paid in the industry. However, our computer science teachers are paid only half of what they are paid at CSU Fullerton. While I hate to say it, it's as if San Marcos has become a school where teachers who have unsuc- cessfully looked everywhere else for a j ob have to settle for. Travesty number two introduces another party to the picture, While I will refrain from discussing who this person is, I will let you in on the actions of this certain individual. He wrote a letter, one that has no truth. He alleges in this letter that Wang will only help if you pay him; that Wang enjoys failing the majority of his class. While it is true that Wang has a reputation of being a tough instructor, he is fair and equitable to all students; he realizes the importance of a good education so we can compete with those rich yuppies from the Ivy League. Let me tell you, Wang spent, from his own pocket, $500 per class per semester to help his students. F-i-v-e h-u-n-d-re-d d-o-l-l-a-r-s per class. Wang accepts no payment for help. None. But the allegations weren't the worst part. This student sent the letter to the governor of California, the President of CSUSM, and the Chancellor of CSU schools. All this, without even talking to Wang about his problems. Once more, I emphasis that none of the allegations were true. This is along the same lines as accusing an innocent man of rape. While there is no truth to this, the victim is the accused, and will forever carry this shadow. Thanks, unnamed person.

Two hours of lab time to go through all my notes and start writing the first draft of one of my research papers. Welcome to the Open Access Computer Lab in Academic Hall (the only one on campus). It has approximately 80 computers on a campus with 65 times that many students. Before his current position at the University of Houston Clear Lake, Dr. McWilliams also held faculty and administrative roles. "This experience has given me the opportunity to develop a comprehensive view of higher education," he said. McWilliams has also served as the acting dean for Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina and worked as Vice President for Academic Affairs in two small, independent colleges, Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina and Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. McWilliams was born in Oakland, California and raised in Greenly, Colorado. A line. Great, no problem, I'm patient. I only begin to seethe when half the people are writing e-mail and three guys gather around one or two of the computers to check out chicks in swimsuits and lingerie at the Victoria's Secret website, Couldn't they at least search for cheap entertainment on the computers in the new student lounge? Oh wait, those are not up and running yet! I noticed the three computers in the student lounge during the first week of the semester. Is ASI trying to show-off that they have loads of student money to throw around by ordering computers and leaving them to decorate the room? It's a real shame. We have advanced technology and all types of awesome programs to work with, but the basic need for computer access is lacking. I complained to a lab monitor and he told me that I could use any empty lab room. After hiking around the campus, I found one and typed up 10 minutes of text before the next CS 301 class began to filter into the room. CSUSM needs another Open Access Computer Lab. When it comes to computer access, this school bytes. After getting his associates degree at Otero Junior College in Colorado, he attended California Western University in San Diego his junior year and worked as a clinical psychologist in the county juvenile hall. A fter serving as a counselor- in a residential home for adolescents, Dr. McWilliams worked as a research assistant on a navy project studying behavior under stress and proceeded to attain his BA from Cal State Long Beach.

Clinical Psychology, Dr. McWilliams interned in Veterans Administration hospitals and did his dissertation research on the role of paraprofessional mental health workers in the schools. While Dr. McWilliams states that his first task as new Dean "will be to listen and learn," he has plans for the College of Arts and Sciences. "I see a multiple vision for the College of Arts and Sciences. The College should also meet the personal and professional needs of students and the local community by offering degree programs that provide students with the education and skills that they will need to f ulfill their goals, both in terms of employment and personal development. In these and many other ways, I see the College of Arts and Sciences as playing a major leadership role in the life of the University and the North County community." McWilliams' wife, Mary, has a Ph.D. in English Literature and currently holds a faculty position at Lee College in Baytown, Texas. They enjoy visual and performing arts, ethnic food, and have traveled to places such as India, France, Germany, Puerto Rico, Honduras and Jamaica. In his spare time, Dr. McWilliams enjoys hiking, bicycle riding, motor vehicles, and is an amateur photographer. �The Pride Sports Tuesday, May 22,2001 7 I nternship W omen's Golf F lies t o N AIA C hampionships E ffie R engpian N amed First Ail-American Woman's Golfer for University The women s golf team placedfifth in this year's NAIA National Golf Tournament in London, Kentucky.

If the union, the California Faculty Association, does not think the final contract is fair, then students at CSUSM face the possibility of losing their instructors ifi a union strike. Such a strike would remove from the classroom the approximately 374 part-time and full-time faculties represented by the union at Cal State San Marcos. According to the North County Times in its May 24 article, the executive board of CSUSM's chapter of the union authorized the use ofjob actions, including strikes, in a resolution adopted May 15. Although there are still five weeks remaining in the bargaining process, and the union may Consultants Needed for High School Program pursue alternative job actions before striking, some students are still concerned about being able to take the classes they need during summer session. "If the professors strike and I can't get the credits I need in summer, this is going to push my whole graduation back," said Tracy Kappan, an education major. The president of Cal State San Marcos' union chapter, George Diehr, said in April * :' A . By DARCY WALKER Pride Opinion Editor University students interested in teaching middle or high school are needed as consultants to work with area students under the Collaborative Academic Preparation Initiative, also known as CAPI. Dr. Dawn Formo, the program's Associate Director for Literature and Writing Studies, said at least 10 consulting positions are available, paying $9 per hour. The number of openings could double with the approval of a pending grant proposal. Academic credit is also available. "The project is a great way to develop teaching and writing skills. In addition, you'll build your resume," Formo said. According to Dr. Madeleine Marshall, a facilitator for the program, the statewide project is designed to "improve interface between high schools and colleges." Consultants work with students in six area high schools to help them improve English and math skills. One of the goals of the program is to increase scores on the Entry Level Math and English Placement tests. At the 4 semi-annual CAPI conference held Friday May 18, Mayra Gutierrez, an administrator from Sweetwater Union High School District, said that in one of the district's high schools only 12 students passed both CSU entry exams. Program consultants will work either in an online writing center or face to face with students in neighboring high schools. Applicants should have strong writing skills although their teaching interest can be in any subject. Contact Dawn Formo at dform0@csusm.edu for more information. th that, "if this [bargaining] process doesn't work, job actions such as letter writing or e-mailing campaigns or teach-ins would begin."

Rodriguez will receive the degree durmg Sunday's 4 p.m. ceremony in Forum Plaza. When asked how he felt about receiving the honor, Rodriguez said, "I sure am nervous {about getting the award]. It's quite an honor. I am so surprised and I don't know how to react, I just hope I can do what I am supposed to do in front of a crowd. When asked what you are supposed to do, Rodriguez said that he wanted to acknowledge that "you don't do anything alone. It takes people to get you where you are at and where you are not at, good or bad." According to Bonnie Biggs, a Library and Information Services Assistant to the Dean, Henry Rodriguez is the first Native American to be honored from the San Marcos campus. Information was not available in time for this article on whether any other Native Americans have ever received an honorary doctorate from the CSU system or any other California State campus. Bonnie Biggs, a friend of "Uncle Henry's" since 1981, gathered the background information for the Board of Trustees in order to nominate him, and Professor Bonnie Bade made the actual nomination. Bonnie Bade was unavailable for comment. Rodriguez, a Luiseno tribal elder will receive the honor because "Henry has been very, very active and been a leader both politically and socially in the community for years. At 81 years old, [he has had] a long history of activism, and worked for the betterment of not only Native Americans but also everyone in ment. Ken Swisher, a representative for the Cal State system, said that no work actions would occur until a declaration of impasse is officially declared.

Rodriguez has served as one of the community consultants to Cal State San Marcos since the university's inception. He helped organize the University's annual Pow Wow blessed the commencement ceremonies, and has participated in Indian graduation ceremonies, and in the university's time capsule celebration* Since the 1940s, Rodriguez has been a major contributor to California Indian politics and is a national authority on Indian water rights. One of the founders of the San Luis Rey Water Authority, he served as president and currently serves on the Board of Directors. He continues to work with California and United States federal authorities on environmental protection, repatriation, and health legislation, and was instrumental in bringing Indian healthcare to California reservations. Rodriguez has served as an important elder, helping to preserve indigenous California culture. In reel-to-reel tapes beginning in the 1940s, Rodriguez captured traditional Luiseno songs that Grossmont College is currently preserving. He has served as chairman of the La Jolla Band of Mission Indians and was instrumental in establishing the Southern California Intertribal Council, now the California Tribal Chairmen's Association. Rodriguez has been an active proponent of Native American Indian education. He helped to bring Head Start to a number of reservations and has served as a board member and consultant to a number of school districts, assisting to develop curriculum with more accurate representation of local Indian people.

SEGALL Pride Editor Spanish students shared their poetry and short stories on Thursday, May 24, during the University's celebration of the fourth release of "Garabatos." The publication, Garabatos, is a collec* tion of student essays, stories and poems written in Spanish. "It's a good, open literary space where people can reflect on culture," said Professor Carlos von Son. Professor von Son, along with Drs. Stella Clark and Mayra Besosa and other professors in the World Languages and Literature Department also held two talleres literarios, or literary workshops, that enabled students to put their creative writing to work. "Some students may not feel like they only fit in one culture, Mexican or American," said von Son-. "These workshops help them reading some of the works and reflect on their there's so much talent.

At this point, a period of "fact finding" begins with a team of three individuals, one from the CFA team, one from the CSU administration team, and one from a neutral party by mutual agreement. This factfinding team then issues a recommendation to the two parties who use the report to come to an agreement. Diehr told the North County Times that, "the chances are more than 50 percent that there will be some sort of job action." The union began bargaining for a new three-year contract on April 17. The union seeks to lower the student-tofaculty ratio, and increase the percentage of full-time tenuretrack instructors per student. Union officials say they feel that, thus far, administration proposals for the new contract are unsatisfactory. According to the North County Times, "The union is arguing that the behavior of the administration at the bargaining table has diminished the quality of education in the CSU system." The implications of a strike for the California State University system as a whole involve far greater numbers of faculty. The statewide union represents over 22,000 faculty members on 22 campuses, and all union chapters have authorized similar work actions on their campuses. Swisher told the North County Times that, "We feel confident that our faculty won't abandon the students." By VICTORIA SEGALL Pride Editor Each graduate in attendance may also give thank you speeches during the ceremony. "Five minutes long, if they wish," said Balcazar. She added, "And it's not strictly for Latino students." This year, the number of participants for the ceremony has increased. "We're very excited about this year," said Balcazar. "In the past we've only had 10 to 15 students taking part, but this time we will have 39 students." La Raza Graduation Ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, June 3 from 5;30-10 p.m. at the Dome Plaza. "We will have dinner, a mariachi band, and a dance," said Balcazar. The Latino Association of Faculty and Students (LAFS) first organized the ceremony about four years ago, according to Balcazar. This year Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) has collaborated with LAFS to host the event. La Raza Graduation Ceremony In addition to the Cal State San Marcos' traditional commencement ceremonies scheduled for Saturday and Sunday will be La Raza Graduation Ceremony on Sunday, June 3. "It's more like a family celebration," said Yesenia Balcazar, one of the coordinators for the event. "It will give students the opportunity to thank their family, with a reception afterwards." The purpose of the African American graduation ceremony is to recognize students of African American descent for accomplishing their goal of graduating. The Thursday afternoon event will feature an inspirational speaker and reception with music and food, but the focus will be on the graduates. At least 42 undergraduates and 10 teaching credential candidates will receive honors at the ceremony. Cheryl Le Gras, Director of College Success Services, has been serving on the committee for African American graduation since 1997. She was unsure if the tradition at Cal State San "Marcos dates back prior to that year. Tiaca Carter,'a graduating senior, expressed . the event's significance to her graduation experience. "I feel it is a special ceremony because it specifically addresses black students as opposed to a ceremony that addresses all grads generally. Blacks are going to face different obstacles than other races and need unique words of encouragement." Black students who participate in the African American graduations will still attend the university's traditional commencement; the special ceremony is not intended to replace commencement or separate students, according to Le Gras. According to Le Gras, the ceremony will open with the singing of the Black National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Dr. Phillip Rafael, head of San Diego State's Community Based Block, a Master's program that trains people to become counselors in multiethnic schools and communities, will be the guest speaker. A faculty member will read a short biography for each graduate, then present him or her with a certificate and a Kente cloth stole, draping it over the robe. The Kente is a traditional African ceremonial cloth worn by many African Americans during important social and religious events in order to remember their heritage. Kente is woven in a variety of patterns, each expressing combinations of significant values including leadership, spirituality, responsibility and exceptional achievement. In some cases, a faculty member will purchase a special pattern of cloth to present to a favored student in appreciation for his or her unique qualities and accomplishments, according to Le Gras. Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard will assist in presenting the Kente cloths. "I wish for all black graduates happiness as they step out into the world," said Poullard. "I wish for them direction and a strong sense of purpose. I hope that they recognize their accomplishment as just one of many that will follow, and I wish for them a desire to always strive for excellence and equity in all that they do." The African American graduation ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 31 at the Dome Terrace. Special graduation ceremonies will also be held to honor Latino fy Latina students as well as Native Americans. �Campus News The Pridtf Tuesday, May 29,2001 3 Environmental Student Working to Preserve Box Canyon By KEVIN FRISK Pride Staff Writer Many CSUSM students are involved in activities outside of university life.

RYAN SANDAHL Pride Staff Writer The Hollywood duo, Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay, are back with their latest epic, "Pearl Harbor," but this time, it is not all about huge action and mindless entertainment, Executive producer Bruckheimer and producer/director Bay have managed to pull of this year's stunning, must-see epic with incredible skill and beauty that I found myself wondering how in the world these two could have been the creators of the last film, "Armageddon." Filmed mostly on location in Hawaii (at Pearl Harbor) and in Rosarito, Mexico, "Pearl Harbor" offers an array of visual and computer-generated mastery. Often times it is difficult to pick out what is shot live and what is computer generated. Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, and Kate Beckinsale give strong performances and let's not forget Cuba Gooding Jr., whose small roll as cook Dorie Miller is played with amazing passion. The film opens with two best friends, Danny and Rafe, pretending to fly a crop-duster. Some time goes by and now Rafe (played by Ben Affleck) and Danny (played by Josh Hartnett) are fighter pilots. While getting approved for their wings, Rafe meets Evelyn Johnson (played by Kate Beckinsale), a strong and determined nurse that makes Rafe's courting attempts difficult. Rafe ends up flying to England where he volunteers to ing terror.

Running over three hours, the play is a long, winding, and emotionally altering sojourn into, but not out of, one family's dark night of the soul. The comfortably small theatre space, as well as a Spartan use of music, lighting, and costume, promises viewers a unique intimacy and inclusion with the cast. Set entirely in one room of gression of the four-scene work chronicles the changing light of one day and one night in the lives of its characters. Situated in 1912, the play autobiographically encapsulates the life of the O'Neill family into one intense August day. Not only do these intricate personas transcend the flatness of the printed text by physically representing the complexities of O'Neill himself (Edmund), his parents (James and Mary), and his brother (Jamie), but also the archetypal timelessness of the characters, representative of the unchanging human condition, arguably makes them fourdimensional. The immediate living-breathing element of the production is a perfect example of what a well-done dramatic interpretation adds to the printed text. Ironically, after seeing the play, one may wish to read it in order to further explore the dense poetry and thought that flows so quickly from the performers' mouths. With excellent performances by the actors, an intriguing plot, and genius moments of levity in the midst of hopelessness, this play is entertaining on any level even if one doesn't catch all of the allusions to Shakespeare, Nietzsche, or the Bible. O'Neill's laborious insight into such themes as familial love and hate, drug-addiction, death, religion, self-delusion, and selfawareness acts as a catalyst for personal reflection and reckoning. The Tyrone family also makes disturbing commentary on a state of the American family, which seems highly relevant even 62 years after the play was written. Rich in dramatic, philosophical, and literary expertise, this play is a must-add to any university student's repertoire. You should, however, bring an extra supply of energy and attentiveness, and prepare to be somewhat exhausted by the end. The play runs until June 10. By ZACHARY PUGH Pride Staff Writer Something refreshing is coming to your radio stations and portable disc-mans very soon. This rejuvenation will^ come in the form of a new local band called Myliye. Imagine combining the musical talent of old roots, zydeco, or folk players with the crisp sound of groups like The Dave Matthews B andthe end result would be Myliye. Front man Donny Fausner describes Myliye as a "kind of a mellow roots-rock sound/' This, definition becomes clear with the sound and lyrics of "Disappear," the f ifth track on their self-titled album. Other tracks include titles such as "Time," "Free," "All I Need," and "Don't Fade" deliver immaculately tight transitions this listener has ever heard. Myliye.. includes five very talented musicians who bring mellowness to a new level. Catapulting a new spin on the San Diego music scene, they are: Donny Fausner (singer, acoustic guitar), Mike Fausner (electric, lead guitar), Brian Jirka (bass guitar), Max Hickman (drums), and Anthony Fausner (percussion). Myliye has played in numerous shows in San Diego, including the Pacific Beach Block Party. Myliye is currently working on another album; however, the release date is not yet known. So, students, keep your eyes and ears open for the smooth sounds of Myliye. New PThisillYrint ear!

While the music may be old in its origins, Gamelan is still performed today in Java and around the world by music students and musical troupes. A Gamelan is a wonderfully diverse group of instruments that includes drums, gongs, and xylophones with metal keys called sarons, rows of covered bell chimes, and a bamboo flute. The set is beautifully crafted in dark stained wood, and decorated with golden dragons and gold leafing. The gong set contains 15 gongs of varying size and depth, each capable of producing a reverberating sound that would fill the entire classroom. Wednesday night's performance began with a brief introduction of the two different mM musical scales that exist in a Gamelan ensemble. One scale, roughly equivalent to a major scale, is the'"Slendro" and the "Pelog" is equivalent to the minor scale. Professor Randy Griswold, who teaches Gamelan, first explained that the rhythm of the music was very cyclical and that a pattern would be easily distinguishable. The beginning and end of each score is marked by a large gong, which Griswold explained is the way Javanese tradition pays tribute to the importance of the gong instrument in their music. The first song the ensemble performed was "Jiro " from western Java. This song repeated over and over in a very hypnotic way, sometimes slowing or increasing in pace, but always maintaining a beat. The second song, "Wilujeng," was from central Java and began in a similar manner as "Jiro." For this song, however, some of the students sang a very melodic Students perform traditionalJavanese music. (Pride Photos/Victoria Segall) chant-like song. Another difference in this song was that the various instruments- began to take turns dominating the sounds in the room. After awhile the only sound that remained constant in "Wilujeng." The songs continued on for more then an hour, and a mystical mood pervaded the classroom, silencing even the crying babies brought by some members of the audience. For just one hour, listeners were transported back through time and culture. CSUSM's Gamelan musical program began back in 1998 after the school purchased a Gamelan set directly from Javanese importers, and hired Professor Griswold to teach the art to students, Griswold began his own journey with Javanese music in 1991 while he attended UC Berkeley as an undergraduate. After graduation he traveled to the island of Java several times to intensely study Gamelan music and-tradition. After several trips to Java, Scotchgreens was the second band that performed at the Battle of the Bands. The event was held on campus on May 21. ' (Pride Photo/Victor Padilla) , Battle of the Bands Draws Small Crowd We did it again. Another Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) event, the "Battle of the Bands," was poorly attended last Monday, May 21. The performance, along with an end-of-the-year barbeque, was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. at the Dome Plaza, but at that time the barbeque grill had just been set up, the two bands were nowhere to be seen, artd only 10 students were in the audience. I decided to be patient, walked around the campus for a while and then came back at 11:30 a.m. By that time the first band, Hornswaggled, was just about ready to play. The barbeque was attracting many passers-by, who just ate and ran, such as one unidentified student who said, "You can't .pass up free food!" He left as soon as he finished his burger. Unfortunately, they all missed a great show. Sitting in the middle of the patio, I felt sorry for Hornswaggled as they played a seven-song set for an audience of 30-40 students. Hornswaggled has a raprock influence that is very popular today and reminded me of the sounds of Papa Roach. When they played some of their older songs, their punk influence showed. Their lyrics touched on subjects, from the high school shootings at Santana to depression. Afteir about 45 minutes of pulsating riffs, it was time to turn the stage over to the Scotchgreens. Unfortunately, they were running a bit late so their set started a little behind schedule. The Scotchgreens played a brilliant repertoire^ of their "spaghetti-western," rock-a-billy music. They sound like they mixed Johnny Cash with Social Distortion, and it rocked. Unfortunately, there were more audience members for Hornswaggled than there were for the Scotchgreens. The most I Saw in the Plaza for the Scotchgreens at one time was 27 students—and that was including the judges, the members of Hornswaggled and their roadies. The crowd seemed a bit taken by surprise with Scotchgreen's style, and many made fun of it. Subjected to a unique style of music, the audience was caught off guard, but the band continued playing enthusiastically. When it was all over, ASI voted on which band would receive the cash prize of $400 and a future booking at an ASI event. Hornswaggled easily won due to the crowd factor and set-up time. The Scotchgreens walked away with $100 and consideration for a future event. Griswold went back to school, this time at San Diego State University, where he received his master's degree and a job offer. He was hired by SDSU to teach Gamelan at the school and is currently teaching at both SDSU and CSUSM. According to Professor Griswold, the Music 395 class is still open for next semester.. "Because of the variety of instruments, students from all levels of advancement can participate/* said Griswold. Video Students Show Work By J. RYAN SANDAHL Pride Staff Writer By TIM FARMER Pride Staff Writer Tuesday, May 29,2001 5 Kristine Diekman's Visual and Performing Arts students (VSAR 303 and 304) held their end-of-the-year video show last Monday night in CSUSM's Visual and Performing Arts Annex. Students showcased videos, music and streaming video to a group of 60 faculty, students arid guests. From narrative to documentary videos, the show was very broad in the range and diversity of pieces. Ricardo Favela performed a rap song titled "Manifesto," which was an "expression of Chicano culture and what is going on in their communities," according to Favela. "I think it's great that teach- ers are so enthusiastic about the work," said Jay Trussel, a VSAR student. "It's not like an essay you turn in, it's more work than that and it is very rewarding when the semester is over." Trussel showed excerpts from his full-length feature narrative, "The Night Life," which premieres Tuesday, May 29, in ACD 102 at 7 p.m. "The Night Life" is a part biographical, part fictionalized story about Trussel's life. Other entertaining narratives included "Night of the Bloodsuckers, Part 2" by Albert Rascon, and "Ordinary Horror" by Jesssica Sowa. "This has been a fun class to work with," said Kristine Diekman. "I am very proud of their work." Class of 2001 Grads Wanted Start P /T now & go F /T after graduation. Gain valuable experience in the Internet industry.

Like Mandy Tester said, "As a graduating senior, I cannot imagine my commencement ceremony taking place at a college I have never attended." We, students, have worked too long and too hard and come very far to be bumped to a community college venue for graduation. The whole point of going to a four-year university was to graduate from a fouryear university. If I wanted to graduate from a community college, I would have stayed at Mesa College. I understand the concerns of the growing student population and not being able to accommodate everyone, but I can assure you that if CSUSM decides to hold the graduation ceremonies they won't have to worry about having too many students to deal with. %heBrade Co-Editor Co*fefitor Opinion Editor Feature Editor Copy Editor Graduate Intern FWS Student Adviser Melanie Addington Victoria B. Segail Darcy Walker Nathan Fields Amy Bolaskl Jayne Braman Victor Padilla Madeleine Marshall If they intend on us holding our commencement ceremonies on an athletic field, then why can't we hold it on our own track field. Many other universities do i t and even many high schools. Why should we go all the way to Palomar's Athletic Field when we have one of our own? I'm sure many students would be willing to make some sort of contribution to a fund if that meant that we could graduate from our own university. The university can also consider selling extra tickets to the ceremonies if students want more than the pre-given amount. I think that before any decisions are finalized, the students need to be given the chance to at least offer up some suggestions. I hope every option will be taken into consideration about keeping the commencement ceremonies here on campus before shipping us off to other "venues". Sincerely, Adrienne Gazan By: JAMES NEWELL Pride Staff Writer Looking back on the opinion section of The Pride for this semester, I see it was filled with rambling complaints and students attempting to undermine the University's reputation. Aside from a few satiric pieces about campus life and mild attention to ethics, the opinion section was a forum for student bitching; I myself among the contributing authors. As I left class on Tuesday night, the stress of my final assignments and the pressure of the impending semester's end all weighing on my mind, I paused for brief moment of reflection. I took a deep breath and sat down on the west side of University Hall. Through the slightly hazy evening sky, I watched the sun drop beneath the hillside out toward the ocean. At this point I realized that no matter what problems exist at this university they can all be rectified, but it takes student involvement. It is very easy to point out flaws, but progress takes action and agreement. The community members need to open their minds, because the events we experience today will eventually become the topics of tomorrow's class syllabi, "No matter what problems exist at this university they can all be rectified, but it takes student involvement." Many things have changed in the few short months of this semester. We saw a major change in the powers that govern at the presidential level. We saw students in local high schools Is Segregation Politically Correct at Cal State? By TIM FARMER Pride Staff Writer students shot and killed. We sa\# young children sentenced to life in prison. We saw the conclusion and the effects of the 2000 census. And we saw ourselves grow in accordance with our personal interpretation of these events. Now we should realize the privilege and responsibility that are bestowed on each and every one of us: the privilege of attending an institute of higher education, and the responsibility to get involved with the issues and decisions that effect us all. Perfection is something to strive for, not something to expect. Cal State San Marcos is in the beginning stages of becoming a great university, but it takes support from all factions of the community to achieve such a goal. At some point in the near future, take a few moments out of your busy schedule to realize that we get to attend a quality, state funded university in beautifully sunny and warm San Diego County, a place where most students can only dream of living.

Due to lack of funds, the soccer team is currently unable to play at the NAIA level (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), the current level of such teams as track and field and golf. Every student athlete playing an intramural sport pays $100, which pays for the coaches, facilities, equipment, travel expenses and uniforms. All student athletes also need their own accidental insurance. . "I never expected it to be so much work, it takes so much time and dedication," said Antonio Zepeda, former captain and founder of the team. Student Randy Erman, who tried to start a soccer team four years ago, said he wondered why the University has had a "freeze in sports." Erman said that President Gonzalez had promised to incorporate more sports and Erman wonders why there is no N A I A recognized soccer team. "It is a very interesting case because soccer is one of Southern California's most popular sports and there are many students who are interested and have great talent," said Zepeda. "I know of students who have chosen other colleges because of our lack of a soccer program. Last season the team said they faced some problems and misunderstandings with the university, such as being unable to place field goals on the track. This year, however, the field goals are on Mangrum Track and the team says there may be the opportunity for home games to take place this year. "I am really excited about this upcoming season," said student and soccer player Manuel Maldonado. "I hope that we can have home games so that people can come see us play and the university can take us more seriously." As of now, ASI serves as the connection between the soccer team and the university. "They have been helpful, but they are limited on what they can do," said Zepeda. Recruitment plays an important role in intramural sports. The Softball team, for example, needed 12 people in order to be established. They had 12 players at the beginning of the semester however, a couple people dropped, so they were unable to meet the intramural requirements. The soccer team, as of May 18, had 14 members, but they need more players. "I recruit members one-byone in classes, hallways, anywhere I go," said Zepeda. Zepeda also recruited Coach Khaled-al-Shafie who has been with the team since its inception. Coach has volunteered his time, since 1999, but now he gets a small stipend for his coaching. "He does not do it for the money," said Erman. "He has coached at San Pasqual High School, Vista, and other places, and he is climbing the ladder for the USSF (United States Soccer Federation)." "We still need more players," said Coach Khaled-al-Shafie. "This season has a lot to o ffer" Soccer season begins in the middle of August and ends in November. The. team meets every Friday at 11:00 a.m. for practice. Those who would like more information on the team are asked to contact Susana Gonzalez in the ASI Office at (760) 750-4990.

XIII NO. 14 Spring 2005 grad details Task force outlines areas for improvement in campus policing practices W hat upcoming graduates need to know BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer University Police vehicles are a regular sight in front of the campus. BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer The Task Force on Campus Policing released their "Final Report, First Combined D raft" on Friday, April 28 to Interim Chief of Police Aaron Woodard and Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Neal R. Hoss for review. The report contains 31 specific and often multi-provisional recommendations for change within police department as well as other related areas in the campus community. According to the Task Force's report, Woodard and Hoss are to, "develop a calendar to address each of the recommendations," Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride and create, "a report concerning any recommendations that will not be acted upon." Using the "concept of community oriented policing" as a model for recommendations to the CSUSM Police, the report concludes that while community oriented policing, "is a philosophy that the University Police of Cal State San Marcos has adopted in its mission, vision, and values statement," there are, "many ways in which the University Police could strengthen how it carries out community oriented policing in its general practices, its staffing, its communication strategies and educational functions." Recommendations of the report include implementing diversity and profiling training for officers, increasing foot patrols of the campus, establishing regular patrol areas for specific officers, using informal sanctions when at all possible, increasing community outreach programs, creating an ongoing review board for policing practices and exploring the use of cameras in police vehicles. The task force formed in January 2005 with the goal of, * "preparing a report for the Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services that would be Commencement 2005 will be Saturday May 14 with one ceremony at 9:00 a.m. and another at 3:00 p.m. at the Del Mar Fair Grandstands. There will be around 800 people graduating at each ceremony, and around 10,000-12,000 guests are expected to attend. The graduation committee has been busy figuring out all of the logistics for the day and has formulated some helpful advice to get you through the day as smoothly as possible. The first thing to know, before you plan any sort of celebration, is that the ceremony will last around 2-2 hours, and you will not be allowed to leave early. Plan your lunch or dinner reservations accordingly, and allow for all the picture taking, hugging grandmas and traffic. Graduates must check in one hour before the ceremony to begin lining up. You have to say goodbye to your family and friends at the Plaza de Mexico and check in at the Paddock entrance with your cap and gown. At the entrance you will receive your name card and cords if you are graduating with honors. (There will be a list posted in the hallway by Registration and Records with the names of students eligible for honors.) Seating is not assigned; the faculty will file in first, followed by the speakers, mas- See TASK FORCE, page 2 See GRADUATION, page 2 Campus study aids suicide prevention BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer Preliminary findings from a study of CSUSM freshman students who reside on campus revealed that, "About one in five students indicated that either they or someone they knew seriously considered suicide or attempted suicide in the last six months." The freshman and their parents were part of a survey conducted by Community Health Improvement Partners' (CHIP) designed to ultimately improve current suicide prevention programs. According to a CHIP press release, sui- cide has become a growing concern to the community because it is the second leading cause of death among younger college students and the suicide rate among this group has been rising in San Diego County. A magnet prepared with information on how to detect signs and symptoms of depression and telephone numbers for suicide prevention hotlines was the centerpiece of the study. The magnets were given to both students and parents. The groups were surveyed once at the beginning of the fall 2004 semester and again in spring 2004. The study was meant to determine the reaction of students and parents when someone close to them showed signs or appeared to be at risk of suicide. According to the study, over half the students kept the magnet in visible location (such as a refrigerator); almost 40 per cent did so "all or most of the time" and over 80 per cent of parents who received the magnet also kept the magnet visible. In addition the study showed that students were somewhat more likely, after having received the magnet, to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression in a friend and encourage the friend to call See STUDY, page 2 What do you think about your professors?

In addition the task force "was to document current use of best national practices at Cal State San Marcos, and where appropriate and in compliance with state law and system policy, recommend improvements in the existing policing model." The task force was formed due to campus community concerns regarding policing practices in the wake of the arrest of student Jason Williams. The 11 member panel consists of Chair Terry Allison, Associate Vice President of Human Relations & Campus Enterprises Linda Leiter, Director of Student and Residential Life Bridget Blanshan, Academic Senate Executive Committee member and Professor of Sociology Valerie Callanan, Faculty subject expert and Professor of Sociology Edwardo Portillos, staff member Charles Guthrie, student and ASI Childcare Representative Edith Zarza, student and ASI College of Arts and Sciences Representative Sarah C. Leonard, community member Tim Dong, CSU Fullerton Chief of Police Judi King, and Interim Chief of CSUSM Police Aaron Woodard. "Overall I think that funding (for the recommendations) is going to be an issue," said Leonard, "I hope that they (Woodard and Hoss) look at this as top priority." She said she felt that the creatjon of an ongoing review board for policing practices on campus was the single most important recommendation contained in the report.

"CHIP'S Suicide Prevention Committee wanted to develop a simple strategy or tool that would help raise awareness and prevent suicide among college students," said CHIP committee member and Scripps Mercy Hospital trauma nurse Beth Sise. Sise said that the idea developed from an editorial in Newsweek. The author, a mother who lost her own son to suicide, thought that a magnet, similar to the one used in the study, could GRADUATION, from page 1 ters' candidates, teacher candidates, and finally those receiving bachelor's degrees.

Graduates are being asked to please leave inflatables Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Changes in policing practices are unlikely to mean less regular patrol interactions with University Police such as the questioning of Mike Rostami in front of the Dome on May 2. Rostami later said he was asked to leave campus and threatened with arrest. Touting a handful of forms, he said he was on campus to get information about the requirements for the Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) program. Rostami said that the police told him he, "looked suspicious" and that someone reported him digging through the trash (which is illegal in San Marcos). He produced a Volkswagen throttle body that he said he found sitting on top of a recycling bin, arid guessed that this was the reason for someone reporting him to police. Rostami promptly left campus. about specific recommendations contained in the report until he and Hoss had time for review, and the Policing Task Force Report was finalized. help prevent suicides. "The causes of depression are complex," said Sise. "Depression is often the result of a combination of inherited, personal-psychological, and environmental factors. And at times depression occurs for no apparent reason. But whatever the cause, depression is nearly always treatable." In college, stress arising from the environment can play a part in the development of a depressive episode. Common sources of stress in the life of college students, especially freshman, include: greater academic demands, being on one's own in and air horns at home. Wasn't that a high school thing? If you show up and have been "celebrating" early, you will be asked to leave. After the ceremony the graduates will be excused row by row in a formal recessional, and will have the opportunity to accept congratulations from the faculty who will line up in the Paddock area. The best piece of advice, from a former graduate, is to prearrange where you are going to meet your family and friends after the ceremony. Do not choose the Paddock area because it will be very crowded. If you need help choosing a spot, look on the Commencement 2005 link on the CSUSM home page, where you will find a nice aerial photo, maps to Del Mar and lots of other helpful information.

The forms allow students to anonymously evaluate the instructor and the course on different scales, ranging from how enthusiastic the instructor was to how prepared they were in class. It's an opportunity for students to have their voices heard and to offer advicp and critique to help teachers in f uture courses. The evaluation form consists of a series of questions compiled by the Faculty A ffairs Committee. There are different types of evaluation forms for different types of instructors, but all the forms were designed in order to get the most appropriate feedback f rom students regarding course instructors. One of the most important things about the Student Evaluation of Course Instruction forms is the way in which they are distributed. The procedure is designed to give students f ull anonymity so that they are completely candid in their evaluations. The course instructor is asked to leave the room and two student volunteers read the instructions and distribute the evaluations to the class. "The process that's outlined on the front of that envelope is really important for the students to follow," said Associate Dean of the College of Education Dr. Peggy Kelly. "Some students, in their zeal, they may really love a professor, hand it to the professor, which invalidates it. It has to come from the students to Institutional Research, not pass through a faculty member's hands." This process guarantees that there is no opportunity for a professor to see or change the evaluations before they reach Institutional Research. Students are usually given 15 minutes at the end of class to complete the forms and place them in a manila envelope. A fter the forms are completed, they are taken to Institutional Research and copies are then sent to the appropriate departments. "Faculty are not allowed to see any of the evaluation forms 756 So. Rancho Santa Fe Rd. Sav-on Center San Marcos, CA 92069 before grades are posted," said Kelly. "That's for the student's protection in the event that some students feel like there might be retribution because of a poor evaluation. This is to avoid any of that sort of conflict." If a student writes something accusatory on the evaluation form, certain steps are taken by the administration. "When you're talking about student evaluations, a comment by one student is not significant enough," said Kelly. There needs to be more data because it's not uncommon for a student to feel that they're getting a bad grade in class, therefore, they try to get back at the teacher " In this case, more data would include specific dates, times and reactions to inappropriate classroom behavior, as well as more than one student making the claim. "There is a cause for concern when it's more than one student and it's very specific about what the issues are," said Kelly. "The more specific a student can be about what the incidence or behavior was, the more administrators have to work with. When that's corroborated by others in the classroom, we have a conver- (760)727-5085 (760)727-8136 Quality Fish Everyday Resonable Price Good Service The Engraving Place Sushi Station S an Marcos Bivd # 120 S an Marcos, C A 92069 ( in Albertson's Shopping Mall) Plaques • Trophies • Corporate Awards Money Clips • Key Chains • Baby Items Kevin W.

In the end, it's important to know that the evaluation forms do make a difference. They can play a vital part in an instructor's academic career. If an instructor is going through the retention, tenure and promotion process, student evaluations are used to measure whether they have addressed certain problem areas in their teaching and improved upon them. Getting student feedback can only improve the quality of courses and instructors at CSUSM. "We want to know the students opinion on how the courses were from their perspectives. The faculty members have their perspectives and have put their best efforts into the course, but were they successful?" said Kelly. "If it weren't for the students, why would we be here?" One student remarked about the student evaluation process. "When I fill out the forms, I do try to fill them out honestly," said Randie Chance, a sophomore psychology major. "I think good teachers care what students think about their classes and their teaching styles."

If you're looking to get away f rom it all and travel, but money is tight, don't worry there are plenty of ways to travel cheaply. Here are a few ideas: First, if you're a student, there are places that specialize in cheap student travel, such as www.statravel.com. You may have seen this travel company on "The Real World," this is a cool company because they specialize in getting students great deals. Their website is very user friendly - you can plan your whole trip there and even come up with better ideas than you started with. They have information on places to stay, as well as transportation once you get there. Some of the current roundtrip deals featured include Los Angeles t o Costa Rica for $208, Los Angeles to London f or $328, and San Diego to New York for $268. Take advantage of student travel deals while you can, you have the rest of your life t o work. Second, if you're searching for cheap airfares, t ry the airlines' websites. O ften they have better deals then elsewhere. Right now on Hawaiian Airlines website (www.hawaiianairlines.com) you can fly Los Angeles to Hawaii for $358 round-trip if you travel before June 9, 2005. Airlines frequently o ffer better deals than other travel websites because they want you to book your flight directly. Southwest Airlines (www. southwestairlnes.com) o ffers summer rates as low as $49 oneway. Southwest comes out with Internet specials every Tuesday that will keep you flying cheap. Jet Blue (www.jetblue.com) is another airline that frequently o ffers low fares. Currently they're o ffering $39 one-way tickets f rom Long Beach to Las Vegas. With the high cost of gas it might actually save you money to drive to Long Beach and then fly to Vegas. Jet Blue doesn't fly everywhere, but it is definitely worth checking out. Third, b e flexible. If you are flexible on your travel dates you can find good deals, you j ust have to look for them. If you can travel during the week, do it. You're going to save on a irfare and hotel rooms during the week. Fourth, take a drive. If flying isn't your thing, take a road trip. Road trips are awesome and can be where you make some of the best memories with your f riends. The price of gas is high right now, but if you can get your buddies t o chip in, a road t rip is a great idea for a cheap summer trip. Find something you like - baseball for example - and go watch your team play in another city. You will have more f un exploring a new city i f you're doing something you enjoy. F ifth, get lost. We are lucky enough to live in an amazing city that is close to the beach, the mountains, and the desert. Have a vacation close to home. You don't have t o travel f ar to have an amazing trip. If you're looking to get away, book a hotel Earn Your Master's or Doctorate at Alliant!

So did I BY PHOENIX LINDGREN Pride Staff Writer One year ago I was much like you, reading the last issue of The Pride and thinking, ' I could do better.' So I added that hideous 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday section to my class schedule, and showed up all fresh-faced and eager in the fall, certain that I would b e The Pride's tipping point - the one person they needed to take the paper from flawed to fabulous. Thank God the writers and editors from Spring ' 04 had already put together most of the material for the "Welcome B ack" issue, because as soon as Co-editorsin-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Mike Dolan began trying to make story assignments I was lost in a sea of inverted pyramids, compelling ledes, and the t errifying realization that if I interviewed someone for a news or features story I would have to actually quote them. Accurately. I learned quickly that the place for someone with no news writing experience is Opinions — where the asshole analogy lives on quite comfortably - and thus I began to make my mark (and reputation - be that as it may) on The Pride. I also volunteered to act as Copy Editor and spent my Monday afternoons trying desperately to ferret out those insidious typos, punctuation, and grammatical errors that plague every writer of English, and seem particularly unique to those MLA aficionados (reborn as Pride journalists) who find themselves having to apply the 'and now for some- thing completely d ifferent' A P style - where dashes are to have a space placed fore and a ft, and titles are always placed in quotations - never underlined - among others. (Editor Lesson One: no matter how many times anyone reads through the paper before it goes to the printer, there will be mistakes.) I eventually learned how to conduct an interview and take accurate quotes (the secret is in the sound bite - it works for print as well as TV), what the hell a compelling lede is, and the secret of the mysterious inverted pyramid (put the important stuff up front, j ust in case your editor needs to lob o ff the end of your story to make it fit the "news hole" - another of those charming journalist jargon bits.) I wrote stories and opinions I was proud of, and cleaned up the copy as much as was humanly possible, but I knew I could do more to improve The Pride. This spring I took the leap f rom Staff Writer and Copy Editor to A rts & Entertainment Editor. Finally The Pride would give priority to more of the artsy-fartsy stuff that happens on and around our campus and less to the blockbuster entertainment that hardly needs another marketing boost f rom the puny Pride (see how far my vision has fallen on pages 1720.) Huge props to Yvonne Brett and Zachary J. Simon who covered a lot of those types of events, but as we got f urther into the semester even they began to feel the need to explore other types of writing. (Editor Lesson Two: Pride writers write what they Black and Tan, it's not lust a drink BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer A troubling comment f rom March has had me thinking about the mistaken idea behind the drink "Black and Tan." It is has troubled me for some time and taking the time, j ust weeks before my trip to Ireland for the summer, to set the story straight. During one of my sessions of eavesdropping j ust before St. Patrick's Day, I heard a young student commenting on his recent sampling of a beer concoction called "Black and Tan." For some, taking the delicious stout Guinness and mixing it with any lighter beer is considered "Black and Tan." This is not the case. Why would I be concerned with this drink? Well, it has a dark history that many bartenders and patrons may not know about. "Black and Tan" beer alludes to a faction of under trained and violent English police occupying Ireland. Their u niforms were thrown together and consisted of dark tunics and tan pants, giving the nickname "Black and Tans." There violent occupation attempted to stop the Irish Republican Army (I.R.A.) and the freedom of Ireland. Their bloody occupation included killing a dozen spectators at a football match during the Bloody Sunday in 1920. The drink is originated in Ireland, of course, and must be combined with Bass Ale. The misconception is that it is mixed with Harp, another beer by Guinness. Simply, Guinness is Irish and Bass is English, when mixed Guinness is on top. Two forms of thought are concerned with the mixing of these beers. One theory states that since the Irish beer is on top and suppressing the English, it is a good thing. Second, the beer should not be mixed with any beer f rom England and it should be enjoyed unadulterated. For me, this is the best route to go. Photo courtesy of Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride want, not what you want.) The Pride generally consists of about twenty staff writers maybe half of those consistently submit stories on a weekly basis. The editorial staff has learned that the easiest... no, most efficient... no, likeliest way of getting writers to submit by deadline is to get them to write what they're interested in writing. Being part of The Pride staff is a kind of weird quasi-job-that'sreally-a-class, where you have the A students who work really hard (the ones you'd promote to the good staff writer positions if this were a real job) and the D students who slack off all semester and then stuff your email box last minute with stories for points to try and pass the class (the ones who'd be fired for missed deadlines if this were a real job.) As much as I have come to love my writers who have struggled to take their writing to the next level over the course of the semester (you know who you are), the camaraderie with the other editors has been the highlight of the job; nothing brings people together like having to show up on campus for meetings at all hours of the night and weekends, with the common vision of making The Pride something better than it was the week before. Which brings me back to the original reason for writing this piece: there is not a single one of you or us who will ever be The Pride's tipping point. The Pride is a team effort. The only way it will get better is when enough of you lay down your critic's pen and pick up a staff writer's or editor's pen. This has been an extraordinary year for The Pride: Liz and Mike have developed a dedicated staff, most of who will not be here next semester. If The Pride was a traditional publication, it would have the benefit of staffers who spend years developing it into an award-winner. But The Pride has to rely on students showing up every semester who are willing to put in the hours necessary each week (lots and lots of hours) to put something worth reading in those newsstands around campus.

Williams was known only by his child-given moniker, Elm Street, on Sunday May 1 when he was center-stage at Anaheim's House of Blues, With the poetic interpolation of former CSUSM student Anthony Blackshir, a /k/ a Ant Black, Elm passionately swept the crowd with sledgehammer-like delivery through arguably the best tracks on his album titled "Tha Hurdlez." It was evident that fiis riveting truths acted as a beacon for the connecting audience. Hands were above heads in motion, and people roared with every rhyme. Elm's live performance was an explosive treat. "We shut em' down," said Williams. "People were telling me that they haven't seen someone move the crowd like that in a long time." Hands down, the CD is great, but, as it is supposed to be, it can't touch the raw quality of a live performance. Once the MC made his way offstage, he was flooded with compliments, hugs, and handshakes f rom a variety of fens. The album chronicles times good and bad, experiences with women, a dab of sex-life, and most importantly, the primary message: stand up and do something about the daily hardships and struggles of African-Americans and-minorities in modern America. From start to finish, Elm puts you on an emotional roller coaster evoking smiles, deep thought, angst, and plenty of anger. Make no assumptions. Elm is neither tetchy about oppression of the past or simply pointing his finger at White America here, but rather, presents inequities that he has felt as an African-American man headed^ in a positive direction. On one exceptional track "This Is Me," Elm spits raspy fire in a verse to make people aware of his harassment f rom crooked police while attending a community college in Riverside. Out he raps: "Po Po (police) run up on me point their gats, screaming freeze while I 'm facing their straps, one false move a nTll viciously react, I hate cops but not cause of the that, let me freeze time, allow me to take you back, I was walking home, pigs say boy what's going Z ERO C L O S I N G C O S T S p,p — -' on, asked to see my ID, I act like Ice-Cube. no let me see yours, wrong move he opened the door start swinging like M ike..." "Being a Black man in America is a struggle everyday" said Williams, "I want to be the next Malcolm X and I want to set a p'ositive example for black people, especially young kids who are up and coming." Surprisingly, the album's Y O U W A N T ONE H OME. soundscape is pretty nice considering a limited budget and the fact the he worked five jobs and attended school full-time while putting this piece together. Elm's changing lyrical tone throughout the album brilliantly meshes with his clever metaphors and humor. His beats are h is very own west coast sound better known as "Thunder Funk." The tracks range from smooth with "Circles" to head-banging rugged with "Westcoast Slide." "I call it thunder f unk because it's just thunderous.. .its j ust Riverside's very own sound," said Williams It is clear why he kept the unchosen name that he hated as a boy, Elm Street. Williams got this name because of his Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Freddy Krueger-like behavior when in school. Last semester, a r un i n with police cost him graduation and a track scholarship f rom which he depended on financially. Elm Street is fitting for all the dark times Williams has had throughout his life. Get the album. It's pure talent and it is real as it comes.

Copeland, hailing f rom Florida and other parts of the East Coast, Copeland's lead singer Aaron Marsh has been enveloped in the Florida music scene for quite some time. As well as being the lead singer, Marsh also plays over half of the bands instruments, including the guitar, piano, mellotron, and organ. The new CD is filled with quiet and subtle tones that are all too real when coupled with Marsh's soft serenading voice. With tracks such as "Sleep" which is very heavy in piano to tracks like "No One Really Wins" a nonstop rock song, it seems that listeners can get a wide variety of songs, from one extremely talented group. Even when you finish the ten song LP, you'll be waiting for more, but sadly to say there is none, at least not for now. The diversity in the CD will simply amaze you as you skip from track to track, each time finding a new and ever evolving array of songs. After signing with the independent label The Militia Group, Copeland has been touring nonstop all around the U.S. The band's CD is good, but if you get a chance to see them live, jump at it, it will be one of the best shows you've gone to in awhile.

Navy Seal teammate, agent Gibbons XXX is placed at the center of a conspiracy on American soil. His mission is to utilize his virtually unlimited resources to uncover and foil conspirator George Derkert's (William Dafoe) plans to forcefully take the presidency. Duh! Along the way, he gets help from Zeke (Xzibit), a chop shop boss - go figure - and Lola (Nona Gaye), who quite simply adds the frivolous sexual innuendo - and a ridiculous wig. What else? There's a bunch a cool rides that Xzibit and his buds from West Coast Customs probably pimped out with lots of chrome. One more thing: plenty of females exuding mountainous cleavage. Needless sequels typically suck. They suck even more when they try too hard to be cool and they're James Bond rip-off action flicks. But if you're entertained by gunfire, explosions, and the first ever thug-style tank-jacking, then you should consider "XXX State of the Union." While Vin Diesel (the original XXX) desperately explores for more "grounded roles" such as Disney's "The Pacifier," Ice Cube has assumed the rofe of Darius Stone, the new XXX: more dangerous, rugged, and fearless, according to NSA superman Augustus Gibbons (still played by Samuel L. Jackson). Amazingly, director Lee Tamahori - while possibly smoking a new brand crack - does a splendid job of making all that insipid dialogue accurate. Yes, the plot is so horrible it's laughable. And yes, at any particular point of this 122 minute formulaic bonanza, you may realize that the movie is going nowhere. That is of course until Stone maneuvers a tank on an aircraft carrier like it's a formula one racecar, and then ditches it by converting it into a projectile with a jet catapult. That sequence was definitely worth an instant replay with that cool ESPN sports center melody. A fter being recruited by a former Let's talk about the dialogue one more time. Why is it necessary for writers of action movies to include the lame one-liners to encapsulate every action sequence? Simon Kinberg, who wrote the upcoming "Fantastic 4," can certainly write some hilarious racial humor, but his characters sound too dumb to achieve the impossible goals set by the plot. Maybe that's why Tamahori flooded this flick with computer generated car chases and explosions. When is Hollywood going to realize that they could market these motion pictures in an innovative way by just referring to them as "action" without the misleading trailing term "movie?"

In a phone interview, Thornton said the movie - a remake of the 1976 classic starring Walter Matthau - is "funny as hell. We hope that we are just going to entertain people with it." Thornton, seen recently in "Bad Santa," and "Friday Night Lights," reprises Matthau's role as Coach Buttermaker, a former minor league baseball player and heavy drinker, who takes money to coach the Bears, a team of untalented little leaguers. The movie follows the team through the season as they struggle to win. Although they may not be the most talented little league team, the Bears have heart and that proves to be enough to get them to the championship game that will be played against their rivals the Yankees. '"Bad News Bears' is pretty much the same movie in terms of tone as the original movie with Walter Matthau," Thornton said. "It is a comedy that is a family comedy but still kind of pushes it to the edge in terms of the humor Image courtesy of Paramount Pictures and the language and things like that." "It is not like a movie that is going to change the world or anything," said Thornton, "but a movie that might make people kind of think about themselves and their kids a bit more and realize that not every kid can be the best at something, but if you try hard maybe you will be better than you thought you were." When asked how he felt about playing Matthau's character, Thornton said, "It always makes you a little nervous when you are reprising someone's role. He (Matthau) was one of my favorites. I always loved Walter Matthau and I actually knew him," said Thornton. "I just wish he had been around to see what we did here because I think we tried to update it and modernize it a little bit but we tried to keep the integrity of the original movie," said Thornton. "I think he (Matthau) would have been pretty proud." This isn't the first time Thornton has played a coach. He also played Coach Gary Gaines in 2004's "Friday Night Lights." "I don't mind playing a coach," TUTORS NEEDED! •Excellent Pay •Flexible Hours •Great Location We are looking for talented tutors for Math, Chemistry or Physics.

"I always wanted to be a teacher so this gives me an opportunity to do that." Thornton was attracted to Buttermaker because, "I like characters who seem to be sort of on the edge of life and kind of learn something along the way to improve their lives somehow," he said. "He (Buttermaker) was kind of a loser who hooks up with some other losers and together they kind of feel a little bit more like winners." Playing a coach gave Thornton a chance to work with kids. "I always have f un with kids," he said. "They (the kids) were perfectly cast and really good kids." "They were pretty wild and they needed to be for the movie," said Thornton. "They also were not great baseball players - which we also needed - but they were all good enough to where as the movie went along they got better at it, which is the way it happens in the movie." "Bad News Bears" is directed by Richard (Rick) Linklater who also directed "School of Rock." "Rick was really determined to keep the original vibe of his movie and I think he did a great job," said Thornton. "Rick tried to keep it a little down low because the original movie in a lot of ways, kind of had an independent film feel to it," said Thornton. This film was written by Glen Ficarra and John Requa who wrote "Bad Santa," which also starred Thornton. This film also stars Greg Kinnear ("Stuck on You") and Marcia Gay Harden ("Mystic River") and many other new young stars. "Bad News Bears" is scheduled for release on July 22.

San M arcos mit mir new website mvwJanatthehlimds.com �m Alfred Chu interviews Tom Cruise BY ALFRED CHU For The Pride And so it b egins...the summer blockbuster movies. With a bigger audience in the summer come bigger movies. In an effort to promote one of those movies, Tom Cruise granted a conference call interview with several college newspapers f rom around the country to discuss the highly anticipated remake "War of the Worlds." Cruise is working with the master and possible pioneer of special effects, director Steven Spielberg once again to tell the story based on the H.G. Well's novel. "War of the Worlds" is about Ray Ferrier (Cruise), a working class family man who shelters himself f rom his family. When the unexpected and unthinkable attack and invasion by aliens happens, he must save his family and fight for survival. Also starring is Dakota Fanning and Tim Robbins. "Fanning is great," said Cruise. "She is a very talented actress. Just personally, a sweetheart and funny. We laughed a lot." 7 "Ray is a guy who is the total opposite of who I am. He doesn't t ake responsibility for his children. He is not taking responsibility for his family or the f uture. But I understand Ray because I have lived in those kinds of blue collar areas growing up. I went to many different schools," said Cruise. It was the sudden delay of Spielberg's and Cruise's other f uture projects that caused this film to be greenlighted. Similar to their past films, "War of the Worlds" contains all the genres of film and there- image courtesy of Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks SKG fore welcomes all types of audiences. "I most definitely enjoy communicating to audiences," said Cruise. " I make movies for audiences. I definitely want them to see it. But I do believe that films have different audiences. A picture such as "Collateral" is not going to have the same kind of broad audience as a picture of "War of the Worlds" or "Mission Impossible" or "Magnolia." But I do believe it is important to try to get that film out to that audience that is going to appreciate it and wants to see a movie like that," said Cruise. With two of Hollywood's talented artists teaming up yet again (the last project Spielberg and Cruise worked on together was "Minority Report"), an estimated budget of $128 million, plus the score of John Williams and the screenplay of David Koepp (Jurassic Park), a critical and financial success is sure to follow.

Hollywood's decadelong (give or take) creative drought likely had more to do with HGG being m ade now than any noble patience in the vein of ' let's not do it till we can do it right.' The author o f the original book was a key figure in production, which is good, most o ften essential, ESPECIALLY when the book is considered a staple of nerd culture. I 'm not sure how many copies this s eries'(that's right, series, a big pungent $ word) has sold thus f ar or whether the number will justifiably double before the y ear's out, but I do know that I 've been recommended it for a decade, and t hat's a fter seeing it on T-shirts. A nd if a book on a t-shirt w asn't enough of an anomaly, we now have a great film of that book"that values props over CGI. T hat's right, with hardly t he slightest taint of nostalgia, H GG shows that first rate r ubber molds beat second rate silicon chips any day, not that any of the e ffects are second rate. Another r efreshing aspect is that it is truly, though likely not by design, one for pupae and fossil alike. Randyness is minimal, but noisy larvae will j ust make you miss what isn't already muted by lingering laughter. I enjoy probably more than my f air share of glorified violence and hyper sexuality, but if there ever was a chance to reach out to someone who enjoys nothing else, the shared misanthropic core might j ust b e the ticket. Sure there's some mushy corn toward the end, and the sleazy nonhero has b een overdone, but geeks and grotesque alien monsters need love too, right? Providing any k ind of synopsis would r uin a film so defined by its surprises, but I will tell you not to get too caught upr in t he s tunning e ffects as the wit and insights hit j untas Jiard, � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On May ! , students joined hundreds of their fellow community members for a 24-hour long walkathon on Mangrum Field with the sole aim of raising awareness for cancer related issues. Participants in Relay for Life formed teams that were responsible for seeking donations and keeping at least one member walking the track at all times. The event was just one of many events like it to take place across the nation. The 55 teams that registered for the event comprised a broad spectrum of interests, bringing together CSUSM student organizations, community groups, local businesses, families, and interested individuals from nearby neighborhoods for a single cause. Though all teams were involved in fundraising efforts, members of The Defending Circle distinguished themselves from the rest by raising $11, 320. Soaring past their goal of $2,400, The Defending Photo by Blake Morse Circle says, "Fighting cancer groups across the country have is a team effort.

In this, my final piece, I want to share what I learned from writing and living because I have figured out the secret of life and the point of our existence. I have heard the question of our existence asked in books, movies, songs, and daily life. I think I figured out the answer to this divine question. The secret to a happy and whole life is love. This might sound like a cheesy or naive answer, but I think I need to spell it out because so many people are missing it. A human being has roughly 70 to 80 years to live, and that is all. Aware of my mortality, I try not to waste any of the time I have. I direct my effort to doing what I like. Going to school might not be the funnest thing, but it is only as bad as you make it. It is tough now, but I am excited for the job I will have once I finish. At my part time job now, sometimes it feels like I'm watching the clock counting down the hours until I can go home. This is counter productive though, because I am just counting down the hours of my life, which are limited. This is where love comes in.

If you cannot find some pleasure in your job, quit. There is no point to wasting your time on something you do not like, even for a paycheck. In the end, it does not matter how much money you have, because whether you believe in heaven or not, you cannot take your earnings with you. Spend as much time with your family and friends and I promise you will be happier. It is a simple answer, but it is the best one I have found. Capitalism, consumerism, and petty differences distract people from this truth. The Beatles had it right decades ago. All you need is love.

Windows 7 will grant quicker access t o. files, allow users to manage open windows easier and connect to wireless networks better. System sleep and resume is faster as well as a longer battery life and improved security, according to Instructional & Information Technology Seryices (IITS). For more information on Windows 7 and how to use it, visit http://www.csusm.edu/iits/ support/win7/. IITS has tested Windows 7 with all the applications that the campus uses. Some faculty and staff are currently testing Windows 7 to give more feedback in order to make sure the system is reliable for the whole campus to use. CSUSM switched from Windows XP to Windows Vista last year due to the declining support from Microsoft for XP. By moving to Windows Vista, IITS was able to test whether the transition to Windows 7 was achievable. IITS has said that the Windows 7 user interface will be intuitive and easy to use as it is very similar to Windows Vista.

G oodbye America Experiences of Studying Abroad BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer Coming to America is something that I think most people outside of this country dream of doing one day and for most people they can only spend around two weeks here. I have been fortunate enough to live in Southern California for a full academic year and this has been an amazing experience. Over the course of the year I have noticed many differences, many similarities, taught people a few things about the UK and learnt a lot about America as well. Unless someone comes here, it is hard to imagine how spread out and big everything is out here, America could fit the UK in its back pocket and carry it around. The reliance on a car is a major aspect of living here that I noticed; in the UK, people can just about get away with not having a car due to the public transport system. In the US, the public transport system is not as developed and structured, which makes the car a necessity to get anywhere. I have felt limited sometimes with the lack of access to a car but many people have driven me places over the year, which I appreciate. I think Americans and British people will always have some sort of connection, because of our history together and through the language we speak, to only mention two examples. I have yet to hear a good fake British accent while I have been out here and believe me I've heard many attempts at it. I still believe that we are not supposed to do each other's accents, I can't do an American accent and many people have convinced me to try and do so. Studying abroad makes you feel unique, there is only one other British person here at CSUSM and it is nice to think that other people find where you come from interesting. Many people have asked me all about the UK, from the place itself to the people and I have enjoyed answering those questions. It took me a while to adapt to the different style of education here, there is a lot more work to do over here I think. There is a constant amount of work as the semesters are so short whereas in England, the course spreads itself out over the year and for me personally there were less little assignments to do every week. I found it strange the system used here to apply for classes, the waiting for the registration date to come and the stress of hoping the classes don't fill up and I have only done a year here. I do not think group work should be done on this campus, people have too many different schedules and live far away from each other and also have jobs as well. If a group is given class time to complete an assignment or each member can individually work on a part at home then it can be done but I don't think it should be done here. The quality of education has been high from my point of view, especially since the teachers have had to deal with wholefiascowith the furlough days. I have met some great people while I have been out here, many people that I will remain in contact with for a long time to come. One of the great things about studying abroad is I have developed connections and that will allow me to come back here many more times. Although I am looking forward to going back home and seeing my family and friends, I will definitely miss this place, the experience, the people and the place are something I will never forget. If there is one thing anyone reading this article should take away it is to try and study abroad somewhere because it will literally change your life for the better. Goodbye America and thanks for having me. CALLING ALL W RITERS !

After two years as your Business Manager, it is time for me t o pass the torch on to someone else (still looking for someone to take that honor). It really has been an amazing experience and I can't tell you how much real world experience it has given me, not to mention I've gotten to know some really great people that I would have otherwise probably never met since they are outside my major. Shamelessly promoting? Yes. But it's all true. It seems like it took me forever to get to this point, six years, a major change, transfers from two community colleges, moving, a last name change (thanks Rudy), and over 200 credits later, I've arrived. Graduation is less than two weeks away and then I am moving on into the unknown. It took me six years to graduate, even with college credits before I started thanks to AP exams, going to school full-time (12 units), and never having to retake a course. My point for sharing this with you all? To not allow yourselves to get discouraged from reaching your goal, no matter the path or how long it takes you to get there. I can't even begin to put into the words the joy that I feel and how great it feels to be the first one in my family to graduate from college. The truth is that when I started at California State University San Marcos back in Fall of 2007,1 was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of "catching up" I had to do since I changed my major to Business. I remember thinking, "Wow, another three years of college. Am I ever going to graduate?" But now, looking back I am glad that I was able to spend three years here. Not only did I make some really great friends, but I also got to know many faculty and staff (thanks to Starbucks), and I have learned far more than I could have dreamed (thanks to my amazing professors). So enjoy your time here, because in aflashyou will be sitting here in this same place about to graduate and reminiscing of your time spent here. My first advice? Get involved. I know it is cliché and you hear it a lot from the moment you step foot in orientation (thanks to O-team), but it really does make the experience you have here. An added bonus? You will get to know some pretty amazing people along the way and with so many different ways to get involved there really is no excuse not to. My second advice? Find a mentor. It really makes all the difference in the world to have someone to talk to and give you advice, especially when that person is someone you admire and respect. Third advice? Write at least one article for The Pride Student Newspaper. Even if it is just an opinion piece about something you are passionate about. It feels good to see your name attached to a piece of published work. Fourth advice? If you have room for it in your schedule, take a class to learn something you have always wanted to learn. It's very rewarding when you finally are able to do something that you maybe thought you would never be able to do. For me, it was Photoshop. Fifth advice? Every day I read a quote that hangs on my wall by Sally Hass, "Dream Big. Work Hard. Smile Often. And Good Things will Happen." The truth is, college is not designed to be easy. If you shortcut your classes, in the end you are only shortcutting yourself. Last but not least... find some time for mental breaks. For me, it was my Disneyland Annual Pass and my favorite TV shows. They are essential in keeping yourself from becoming overwhelmed or burned out. Without my grandparents, my boyfriend turned fiancé turned husband Rudy (who will walk by my side at Graduation), my best friend Jackie, my professors, and my faculty mentor, I might not have Photo by Mari Hinojosa reached this point with as much success as I have. Thank you, I will be eternally grateful for the rest of my life. To the rest of you, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and I leave you with one last thought.. ."Life is made up of moments, thank you for being a part of mine." Class of 2010, we did it. G oodbye from the Layout Editor BY RUDY MARTINEZ Layout Editor "Two f ish are in a t ank, one t urns to the other and says 'how do you drive this t hing?'" I 've been in college for the better p art of a decade. I 've been through six d ifferent j obs, three degree changes, moved three d ifferent places, obtained an AAS in Psychology, and re-met the woman who would end up my wife (who knew?). Last semester alone I took 18 u nits, worked two j obs, and helped plan my wedding. This semester my team and I have worked tirelessly on our Senior Experience project, which consumed my l ife, on top of classes and work. However, without the help and support of some awesome people that I have surrounded myself with, I probably would never have been able to get through it all. The time has come for me to say "so long and thanks for all the sleepless nights CSUSM." It may be cliché to say that I thought the day would never come. But now graduation is slapping me in the face, and I cannot wait. If I had the opportunity to do it all over again at ^ different university, I would respectfully decline. Cai State San Marcos has some of the best professors I 've had the pleasure of learning from. I can honestly say that my stay here at CSUSM has f ully prepared me to enter the "real world," and I don't mean the horrible show on MTV. From the job experience I've gained f rom working in IITS to the Career Development class taught by David Bennett, I feel confident in taking the leap f rom student to professional. My advice, f ind your passion and stick with it. It doesn't feel like a job if you love what you're doing. I can honestly say that I love both my jobs that I have had here on campus. I was lucky enough to hear several top executives speak in the In The Executives Chair course, most of which talked about how they are passionate about their job. Networking is also very important, with the help of my wife, K ristina, she helped me get my j ob in IITS. Her best f riend, Jackie Carbajal, who was the prior Editor-in-Chief, was a writer when she referred me to help out with the layout. Today, who you know plays j ust as important of a role as what you know. It may have been a long road, but the experiences that I have gained f rom it are priceless. Without my wife Kristina, my peers, faculty, s taff, and everyone who has helped me along the way, I could not have made it through without the support of everyone, and I thank each and every one of you.

Playing on Primm Valley Golf course in Primm, NV, the Cougars are up against some of the best in the NAIA. Along with fellow Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) powerhouses #3 University of British Columbia and #13 University of Victoria, the 11-team grouping also includes #4 Cal Baptist from the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC) and #5 Concordia UniversityOregon from the Cascade Conference. After one of two rounds, CSUSM is solidly in the mix with a team score of 308. Cal Baptist leads at 294, British Columbia is in second at 301, and Concordia (OR) is in third at 305. Victoria is in f ifth, four shots behind CSUSM at 312. Individually, Ellyse Siu shot a fantastic even-par 72 for the Cougars, and Roxanne Mejia wasn't far behind at +1 (73). Linnel DeVilla shot a 79, and Megan Pechner and Stephanie Cole both shot 84. Despite just one automatic bid available for this packed region, CSUSM Head Coach Fred Hanover is optimistic about his team's chances to continue its season.

Danny Leiner, most recognized for d irecting comedy f ilms such as Dude, Where's My Car? (2000) and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (2004) as well as directing episodes of Felicity, Sopranos and the series Arrested Development. X iener's gave the students an i nsightful straightforward look into the media business, while also entertaining his audience. "I wanted to see how he found his way through the media business, and to learn about directing f ilms," said student Nicholas Espinoza. The lecture started with a presentation of a clip from Leiner's work, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, a scene where Kumar experiences a dream sequence with a bag of Marijuana, that then becomes his g irlfriend. This scene opened up questions about storyboarding, a f rameby-frame depiction of what the director will shoot. "That sequence I did not storyboard, I t ry to save the story boarding for complicated action sequences," said Leiner, but he also conveyed to the students how helpful storyboards can be when on location. The next presentation was of several commercials, which included clips of the popular Free Credit Report.com musical commercials and the Jack Links Jerky commercials about messing with Sasquatch. These commercials by Leiner display his comedic talents in different mediums of media. Leiner went on to state that throwing a lot of money into a project helps develop and tell stories, especially concerning commercials he continued to explain that a lack of money restricts the ability to formulate stories ideas into action. Inspired student, Espinoza was impressed on how Leiner could easily add humor to everyday living. "How he f inds a way to make a simple idea into something hilarious and funny." Since this portion of the industry is so popular, Leiner went into great detail about how the industry is supper competitive, and how a director must create opportunity for themselves. While discussing his transition from movies to commercials and sitcoms, Leiner commented on how changing to d ifferent media's allows him to stay artistically f resh. When doing an episode for Sopranos, he articulated the intricacies involved in expressing a director's style while still honoring the specifics already put into place. "I always hope that a little of my style comes through, I keep within the frame, but then visually bring in something a little comedy wise," said Leiner. In a scene from Dude, Where's My Car? the main characters played by Ashton Kutcher, and Seann William Scott discover that they both got tattoos a fter drinking heavily the night before was presented to show Leiner's comedic delivery. Image courtesy of Cinemarx The scene goes back and forth between the characters repeating most of the same words, "dude" and "sweet." Leiner expressed how scenes like these are d ifficult to execute, but to insure success he takes a lot of takes and is very involved in the editing process because he believes "comedies live or die in editing." Liener revealed a sneak peek of his most recent work movie "Backwash," written by and staring Josh Malina. The movie follows the journey of three oddball losers in an ice cream truck in the format of a thirteen web episodes.

Crowds of diejoin the cast adaptation, but this film's slick hard fans that made the earlier films box office hits will return to the cinemas for the continuation ofthe story about a girl torn between vampirelike and werewolf-like groups. The Last Airbender James Cameron forced this adaptation of the Cartoon Network show "Avatar" to change it's name. This story about warriors with elemental powers is a departure for the thriller-sawy director M. Night Shyamalan. After flopping with consecutive films, including "The Happening," this might be a major career change. July 9th Despicable Me DreamWorks, who already had success with "How to Train Your Dragon" this year, is releasing another film, in addition to the fourth S Shrekfilm,to compete the with the DisneyPixar hit machine. This animated story features the voice of Steve Carell and his quest to become the most notorious criminal caper.

July 16th Inception Director Christopher Nolan's last film was also a summer release. It was called "The Dark Knight," and it did pretty well at the box office. This reality-bending thriller appears to be a return to the style he executed in his earlier work, such as "Memento." July 23rd Dinner for Schmucks This comedy starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd will be this summer's equivalent to "The Hangover." In this remake of "The Dinner Game," Rudd plays a whitecollar worker who brings the dimwitted Carell to a dinner party where his sadistic co-workers play games with their guests. August 6th The Other Guys Though another buddy cop film, "Cop Out,"floppedthis year, Will Ferrel and Mark Wahlberg hope to reel in laughs in this comedy. The duo a play a mismatched pair of less-than-heroic cops who create havoc when they take a chance to step up on a case. August 13th The Expendables The most important part of this final summer action romp is the cast. This film stars Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Steve Austin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, as well as Sylvester Stallone, who wrote and directed it, so it should not be hard to guess this is an all out festival of guns and explosions. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Edgar Wright, director of "Shaun ofthe Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," takes a stab at adapting the "Scott Pilgrim" graphic novel series. This film stars Michael Cera, Chris Evans, and Anna Kendrick, rather then Wright's usual troupe, and the trailers make thisfilmlook like a shcker version of older "Batman" movies. August 20th The Switch This date movie begins with a wild premise. Jennifer Aniston plays a woman whose best friend, played by Jason Bateman, accidentally switches the sample for her artificial insemination with some of his own specimen. Seven years later, they reunite and discover what happened.

Yes, indeed my favorite movie in all it's ass kicking glory. Unfortunately, it's not what I 'm talking about today. In a relationship, there are going to b e rough waters in a sea of love. But thankfully, you have a lifeboat with multiple relationship shipwreck survival kits (ok, this shipwreck analogy has gone f ar enough). Long story short, if a relationship is going to last, you're both going to r un into some snags that will get on each other's nerves. The point is to address these issues to each other before they become much bigger problems than they already are. For example, let's j ust p retend you and your partner are in a pretty decent relationship and have been happy for a good couple of months. Everything is great but the only problem continues to persist is your p artner's consistent use of a word you might not like (example, go with it). Slowly but surely, they're going to continue t o u se it while you stay quiet, hence they're going to t hink it's perfectly fine to use it because he has yet to r un into a confrontation about it. Eventually, i t'll start to eat away at you until finally the only to stop it is to break up because it has grown into such an ingrained reflex. The point is to stop this and address it before it destroys your relationship, it's like some kind of Batman complex. Christian Bale thought it'd be great to speak in a g ruff, low tone when he ran around in his black leather and cape (...wow, I j ust made a weird connection) and Katie Holmes (Rachel) didn't seem t o much care for it. A nd (I would assume), that is the reason why Katie Holmes was replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Chances are she d idn't like it much either, and look what happened. She got blown up. You see, the power of not addressing problems could lead to consequences that might not b e too favorable to the partners. It probably won't cause your partner to be blown u p by a clown, but it's an analogy (ok, maybe the Batman reference was a little over the top, but the power of not addressing issues might suck eventually). The point is to address concerns for the betterment of you and yours. D on't use " you" statements. Example: Well you never take out the trash! If you're going to address an issue that you have, own u p to it. Don't blame the other person, talk to them and work together to start a solution and b e open to critiques yourself as well. Remember that it's ok to fight. It's not an unhealthy relationship if y'all have discrepancies once and awhile. Make sure you both are comfortable, happy, and able to express yourselves respectfully. Now, if you'll excuse me, I t hink I 'm o ff to go cuddle up with a girl I like and watch everyone's favorite billionaire r un around in a tight black crime fighting outfit (It has gadgets! Ok, I 'm done with the sexual innuendos). THE PRIDE "Up" will be the best movie of the summer BY BILL R HEIN Senior Staff Writer The Disney/Pixar powerhouse has done it again. Once again, the studio pair is serving a triumphant piece of animation. " Up" looks stunningly beautiful and appears to have a story to match. I have no doubt that "Up" will b e the best film this summer. Last summer, Disney/Pixar's "Wall-E" went toe-to-toe with "The Dark Knight" and "Ironman," and I think it bested every other piece that summer. This year, a slew of other films will be competing for the top spot, yet "Up" looks so sharp, I know it will be the best. I get excited every time I see a new trailer for "Up." First, the animation is beautiful. The characters and scenes are beautifully brought to life, and I cannot wait to see it in 3-D. The art department of Disney/Pixar embarrasses other studios such as DreamWorks. "Up" looks beautiful and the story and characters look memorable and impressive. It is an original story about a man who uses thousands of balloons to fly away in his house and savor his last days. It is silly and simple, but also appears to be genuinely h eartwarming. I do not fall for sappy films, but I trust that this one will be subtle and meaningful. Amidst all the blockbusters, "Up" will possess the right blend of character development, plot, action, art, and entertainment. I cannot see "Wolverine," "Star Trek," or "Harry Potter" matching this film's power. I am looking forward to seeing many movies this summer, but none more than "Up." I already know " Up" will outdo "Coraline," "Monsters vs. Aliens," "Battle of Terra" and " 9" for the 2010 Academy Award for Best Animated Picture. If the Academy Awards were not so prejudiced against animated films, I would go as far to say they might nominate " Up" for Best Picture. Yet, that is not until next March.

C 44W / �THE PRIDE Faces & Places Tuesday; May 05> 2009 Students love/hate relationship with group projects Fall enrollment update What doesn't kill you makes you stronger BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer The popularity of working in groups is a growing feature to many classes, though students may express that group projects o ften add more stress to a class, CSUSM professors argue that the benefits outweigh the groans. Finding t ime t o meet up, sending emails that never get answered, stressing out the day before the project is due and o ften picking up the slack of that one person that d idn't do any work is seen as the common group project scenario, but gaining experience in working with others sooner than later can benefit students in the long r un. "The ability to work well in groups is a highly sought a fter and prized skill. Proving you have the experience and skills to do group work will be an asset to students' portfolio of j ob skills and talents," said Professor Jerry Breckon of the Political Science department. Breckon most often assigns group projects in his classes and believes that the interpersonal skills, coordination between group members and the diverse ideas presented t o meet the project's requirements are skills that students will most likely need in their f uture careers. " I can remember group work in my college days. It brings me a great deal of satisfaction to start out in a group where no one knows each other, but by working and striving together the group can produce a quality end product." Working with strangers can be the hard- est part of the projects, especially when teachers decided that the whole group gets one grade. " I've had a pretty good experience working with groups," said Business major, Kristina Maniquis. "The hardest thing was trying to find a time the whole group could meet, with work and everyone having different schedules and other engagements." Other problems can make group work difficult. "Granted, you always run in to those who don't want to do the work, but that is part of the challenge to motivate them to join the team and be productive," continued Breckon. Working in a group isn't all stress. It offers other perks that just can't be produced in individual work. "Four minds work better than one. Getting different perspectives and ideas really help in a group e nvironment," said Maniquis. "I do believe that a successfully r un group can produce a superior product over that of a single individual work- BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer ing on a project. The simple fact is in a group you have more than one person contributing ideas, concepts, solutions, time, and e ffort. Those are all positive aspects of having more than one person work on the project," said Breckon. Allison Carr, the Social Sciences Librarian at our Kellogg Library, often works with students on group assignments and views group work as a valuable part of school and work. "Group work in college will help you get used to working with diverse personalities and strengths. I absolutely think that group work is helpful to prepare for f uture careers," said Carr.

September 16 is M exico's a ctual I ndependence Day and its s ignificance is f ar more i mportant t han Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo m arks the v ictory of the M exican A rmy over the French at the Battle of Puebla. The French a rmy was in Mexico w ith the intention to c reate an Empire u nder Napoleon I II. In 1862, when t he French a rmy r efused to leave Mexico, G eneral I gnacio Z aragoza o rdered about 4 ,500 M exican soldiers to d efeat the French army. T he M exican soldiers were o utnumbered t wo to one and were still able to d efeat the French. In the U.S., the Battle of Puebla canie^to be k nown as Cinco de Mayo and many people c onfuse it as M exico's I ndependence Day. Over t ime, Cinco de Mayo has b ecome much c ommercialized and m any p eople see t his holiday as a t ime f or f un, d anse^anck c hinking. U nfortunately, Cinco de Mayo is h ighly advertised t o m ainly b ring in m oney t o p roducts. A round t he t ime, e ndless a dvertisements of alcohol are seen and the f ocused e ffort h as s erved the i ndustry well. A lcohol-industry spokesmen say t heir a dvertising is t argeted at r esponsible, legal-age d rinkers, but t hat's not the message seen f rom the p romotional blitz that h as led up to t oday's Mexican-American holiday, Cinco de Mayo. W hen images of f ive a ttractive young L atinas, b eers in h and, f lirting w ith "a guy n amed Mayo," or an o ffer by Sol b eer to " taste the Sol of Cinco," the image p ictured is of e thnic p ride being used as a m arketing prop to e ncourage d rinking among L atino and C hicano youth. Cinco de Mayo should be celebrated f or the v ictory and s trength the people had d uring that b attle and not b e m isconstrued f or Mexico's i ndependence. It also s houldn't b e t aken advantage of to p romote alcohol. M exico's I ndependence Day o ccurred on September 16 when in 1810, Miguel H idalgo y Costilla, a local p riest, led h is people to r ise up a gainst the Spanish Crown. Since the early 1500s, Spanish c onquistadors came to Mexico t aking oveggfae, local r ulers and claiming the land f or Spain. They enslaved Image courtesy ofSaberone many and looted what t hey could of Mexico's t reasures. For over 300 y ears, Mexico, then called New Spain, was a p art of S pain's empire. W hen Miguel H idalgo y Costilla s tarted a revolt a gainst the Spanish r ule in 1810, he and h is u ntrained I ndian followers f ought a gainst the Spanish. H is revolt w as u nsuccessful and Father H idalgo was executed. Soon a fter H idalgo's execution, Father Jose M aria Morelos led the revolutionaries. U nfortunately, Father Morelos f ailed and w as a lso executed. In 1821, a fter the M exican-born Spanish and the Catholic C hurch j oined the revolution, Spain w as f inally d efeated. Mexico celebrates t heir I ndependence Day on S eptember 16 e very year, the a nniversary of t he s tart of Father H idalgo's revolt. Even t hough M iguel H idalgo y Castillo and Jose Maria Morelos f ailed in t heir a ttempt to f ree Mexico, they still a re symbols of liberty and p atriotism.

Sombrero's offers your standard Mexican food restaurant menu at reasonable prices. However, Sombrero's portions are enough to have lunch and leftovers for dinner. A favorite is the beef chimichanga plate that consists of a hefty deep fried burrito of deliciousness filled with strictly shredded beef, topped with guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream,rice,and beans are served on the side of this heavy weight. Currently, Sombreros is having a Cinco de Mayo special, where select combos are $5 (+tax) each. (^^rlopked^ b i ^ t o hot i ggp is" Albertaccfc, ;lydden iiv the Home Depot shopping center off San Marcos Blvd., it is a late night (or anytime of the day) awesome place for some killer carne asada french fries or an out of this world California burrito. Albertaco's guacamole is really what sets this establishment apart from any other Mexican food restaurant. Most places, it is rather t he bland and somewhat blends in with Photo by Rudy Martinez the food. However, theflavorin their batch enhances every element in any dish it is served with. Another bonus that Albertacos has is that it is open 24/7, which is awesome for those late night study breaks (or to further your procrastination) from finals. , Other honorable m otions include Taco Pablos, Santanas, Jilbertos, and Taco Bell. Taco Pablos, off San Marcos Blvd. and Grand Ave., offers more of a half-service dining experience, where they bring your order, and on actual plates too! The place has less of a casual restaurant feel^ but not quite the full-service, sit downrestaurant Pablos offers restaurant style food ^and prices. It's good, but if you're looking for a quick bite, you might want to try another place. Santana's, hidden behind Arbys off San Marcos Blvd. just past Las Posas Rd., is a hidden gem, but unless you are a die hard fan, live close to it, or just want to try it for the heck of it, Santana's is rather out of the way. However, it is open 24/7 and has superb came asada nachos and rolled tacos (taquitos). Jilbertos, located within the AM/ PM off the Nordahl exit, is a relative of the Alberto's chain and has a similar menu. I'm just not too crazy on going to a gas station for a burrito. However, if you are ever in the Temecula area, there is another J ik bertos located off the 79/Temecula Pkwy exit, that I know is outstanding. I have to mention Taco bell even though its not ' 'rear' Mexican food. I do rather enjoy their double-decker tacos. T h & you have it—an unofficial gpid^ t s theibutfitp hot sj>ots around campus. Whether the ¿laving hits you as you read this£ or at 2:00 a.m. when the letters on your computer screen start doing the Mexican hat dance in the final paper you're writing, you have options' Happy Cinco de Mayo, good luck during finals, and have a great summer!

Floating images of every imaginable color radiated with an intensely soft brightness. I was in a state of feathery consciousness. My head felt like an effervescent mid-summer dream But this was not a dream, rather a reality that sees the Earth's core through a tree house window. A blue pillow tingled my hands with an oceanic breeze, a sensation felt by a sense of knowing, rather than a nerve signal White plastic bonfires fumed up toy pirate ships. Queenbed frames carried European Porsches. A cabin spew vapors, bleeding the sky with moonlit cherry red paint. Wispy wind, bird chirps, chlorine waves, young boy and giii screamsfilledmy eardrum As soon as peace iced my weightless body, the surroundings rushed away. The spiraling color waves vanished into tight space. My eyes popped open, pain that needled my backribcage. Bryan stood atop a massive boulder, peering with concern, as Tim lay flat on the ground The soft crashing of the lake's waves seemed to be the only sound in the air. The small sea of pebbles along the shore gave support to the paramedic's black boots. Bryan rushed over to Tim in hopes to see hisfriend'sconditioa Bryan noticed Tim's relaxed cheek muscles. Each pound to Tim's chest did not seem to affect him. Tim's face did not portray any sharp cuts or dirty bruises. At the moment Bryan noticed Tim's peaceful face, Bryan backed away from the scene, but still hoped to see any movement that Tim might make. One of the paramedics yelled, "We got him." Bryan slowed his jog to a crunching stop, wishing to see Tim's blue eyes open. Tim opened his eyes, but did not make eye contact with Bryan. Tim kept blinking his eyes in irritation. Tim turned his head to the right slowly, recognizing Bryan's presence. Tim managed to raiseathumb. Bryan gave a thumbs up back, allowing his body to feel a reassuring emotion for his friend. Four paramedics lifted the stretcher in unison, as Tim's body rocked slightly with each heave. Bryan dropped his butt onto the bed of shoreline pebbles. He experienced nothing but complete disbelief. The lake view half-registered into his eyesight, as he pondered what just happened. Tim's heart had stopped beating. The paramedics tried to resuscitate him back to life for nearly two minutes. The relentless pounding ofTim's chest seemed like an endless wave. The wave of desperation and hope swilled in the nature mist Bryan took a few steps back again and dropped to his knees. He prayed without saying any words. Paige, Cole, Evan, Amy, and Kimberly came running out of the forest with shock. Paige asked, "What happened Bryan? We heard the ambulance THE PRIDE sirens. Oh my gosh, what happened to Tim, is he ok? Bryan responded, "It looks like Tim will be ok now. His heart stopped beating, but they were able to bring him bade to life. Everybody in the group posed expressionless feces. Paige broke the silence and asked "how were you able to contactthe paramedics? Bryan said With a smile, "I didn't contact anybody. A moose attacked Tim and me and wefelloffthe canoe. We drifted apart, deep into the lake, but I was able to swim back to the shore. I completely lost sight of Tim when he drifted away. Iranalongthe shore and eventually found Tim lying onthebeaclL Once I found Tim, the ambulance just happened to be driving along thisroad,it's only a hundred yards from here, and they must have seen Tim's motionless body. Evanreplied,"Oh my G od" Bryan simply said, "Yeah, I know." Evan said, "Well, this has definitely been a f un trip, let's go to Tim's hospital before we head back home, ok guys? Paige responded, "Yeah, I don't really Jmow how toreactto this. Ijust hope Tim is going to be ok." Bryan reassured her, 'Trust me, I know Tim, he will befine,everything will be fine." As the group slowly walked up toward the forest road, Cole sarcastically said, ' 1 think Tim will be the first one to say that this was a realty fun trip."

Put on Asher Roth's "I Love College" and just vibe with me for a few paragraphs. "I'm nice right now, I feel good. If you have a drink, would you please put it in the air..." The salty solution running down my cheeks might blur my vision but it won't blur my thoughts. For my last "EF," I'd like to introduce my favorite beer, Heineken Light. With only 99 calories and a mouthful of flavors, it's a well-rounded beer. How does it taste? Like my last column, it's bittersweet. I'm also drinking it in my favorite glass. It has a bell and a four-leaf clover engraved on the top. I love college. It's been a blast. The journey began in seventh grade. Rewind. One night, I saw my mum burst into tears as she often did upon reading her son's grade reports. Both of her sons were performing poorly in school, again, my brother in high school, and myself in middle school. I'd had enough. I made a promise to myself that I would never cause my mum grief over grades again. I went from 2.0s to 4.0s in the span of one summer. Being the first one in my family to pursue a four-year degree, I knew I had set upon a challenging yet rewarding path. Thank you to all of those who guided me when I was lost, as I finally found myself accepted into CSUSM. You know who you are. Fast forward. After switching to the College of Business from a Literature and Writing major, I found I still longed to write. However, I had no channel, no medium to transfer my thoughts to text. I used to scan "The Pride." I loved the Ombudsman columns. Then I saw an advertisement one day from "The Pride" asking for writers. Little did I know that attending a quick information session on how the school paper works would change my life forever. Fast forward. I've now written for "The Pride" for three years. I've had around 120 articles published. Writing for the paper enhanced my experience at San Marcos. I felt more in tune with my environment. The different assignments forced me to discover some unique and exciting aspects at CSUSM. As soon as my training wheels were off, I shot-gunned for the "Beer of the Week" column. David Bauer mentored me through thefirstfewcolumns before I found my niche. Thank you. I wrote under several Editors-inChief: David Gatley, Jason Encabo, Viridiana Pacheco-Isaac, and lastly Jackie Carbajal. I'm sure I wasn't their favorite writer. I consistently turned my articles in on Friday nights instead of the set deadline of Thursday nights. They have each allowed me to grow as a writer. Thank you all. Pause. I'd like to dedicate this paragraph to Joan Anderson. She supervises the paper. THE PRIDE M ay the T UKWUT spirit live on forever She is a devoted and caring professor. She is always there to ensure the paper runs efficiently and properly. Without her influence, I don't know where "The Pride" would be. She even helped me when I applied to a magazine called "Honda Tuning." She directed me through the process and with her guidance, I can proudly say that I have published 15 articles in 9 issues with "Honda Tuning." Thank you. Play. My writing career with "The Pride" is ending in a few keystrokes. I am thankful I've had the opportunity to write for the paper. It made me grow from a person who liked to write, into a professional writer. This will be my last column. I'm officially signing out. I should be attending the MBA program at CSUSM Starting in the fall, but I've yet to receive the official acceptance. My Nana always told me as a kid to count the chickens after they hatch. Even if I get accepted, I will not be writing for the paper. The time has come to pass the torch. I look forward to read- ing future "Exclusively Fluid" columns. And this last paragraph is for all of you, my readers, my fellow Cougars, my professors, my CSUSM staff, and my people. It's been one crazy trip, hasn't it? A hh.. .man.. .1 love college. So raise your glasses, raise 'em high toward the sky, and keep 'em raised. I'd like to make a toast. "The pleasure was all mine. May the Tukwut spirit live in all of us forever." ^ ^ ^ ^ C heers mates! And I'm out like a faded and torn pair of c orduroys. It's not goodbye, it's next time. Peace.

Holmes Contributing Writer T I 1 he federal government claims it supports expanded and alterna J L tive communications with pronouncements by Vice President Gore advocating government programs to advance the "Information Highway," but the behavior of the federal government behind the scenes is quite the opposite. Conflicting policies, outdated regulations, sluggish approval process and insensitive Washington bureaucrats are hampering efforts to build the information highway. Telecommunication companies, according to the Wall Street Journal, are concerned that government is setting up road blocks with a penchant for control. The FCC can accelerate or delay its approval to achieve whatever effect it wants. By controlling who can set prices and how much they can charge, the FCC determines who wins and who loses in the competition to widen the information highway. Consequently, of "2.9 million homes scheduled to be wired for video services, only 2.5% will actually get two-way services." Instead of facilitating the information highway, the FCC, FAA, ICC and other New Deal leftovers, act like sea anchors. The economy suffers accordingly. The FCC is not alone in its obstruction ofthe information highway. Thebeliefthat government can manage markets for the benefit of all is at the heart of the problem. The reality has always been that government involvement has the opposite effect Benefactors are usually the limited few who mean the most to there-election6f a congressperson. The latest excuse for government involvement, according to the June issue of MacUser Magazine, "is the ability to eavesdrop on your telephone calls, read your e- mail, and browse through your database files." The Clinton administration has declared that all electronic communications with federal agencies, must use a National Security Agency (NSA) data security technology called Escrowed Encryption Standard—the "Clipper chip." It allegedly safeguards data from hackers and industrial spies, but it has a "back door" that permits the government to engage in surveillance and detection. The Clipper chip has chilling ramifications and litde justification. The government claims to need the back door "to catch criminals and thwart terrorists," but how many of them are naive enough to use a phone or computer system they know the government can monitor, when they can use any of a number offreeor commercial encryption programs? Government surveillance via the Clipper Chip, many contend, violates the Fourth Amendment's guarantee to privacy. Yet the Clinton administration is encouraging businesses (particularly phone companies) to install the chip in their communications equipment. The big question, asks MacUser Magazine, "will the government eventually move from encouraging compliance to mandating it, essentially giving itself a key to yourfrontdoor—atleastyour digital front door T If the Clipper chip is intended to catch criminals, then it should be named PSP (Pretty Stupid People) after those who buy into i t If it is intended for domestic surveillance, that might explain govenment obstruction of the information highway until the only way you can get to it is through the Clipper chip. �Student Leaders University Ball Charge the Capital Sacramento, CA. The California State Student Association (CSSA) held its Student Lobbying Conference April 16-18. Students representing the 21 CSUs met to discuss the 1994 legislative agenda and how specific actions may affect the students. Leaders were given a quick review on thefinerpoints of lobbying by Dan Faulk, a professor at Humboldt State University. Students lobbied for several actions including student fee increases, trustee reform, and financial aid. "If the public does not fight hard enough to ensure an affordable education for students, fees will go up 24 percent and will push a lot of students out of the university system," said Andrea Wagner, CSSA rep from San Jose State University. Approximately 50 students were in attendance at the conference with Cal State University Northridge driving up six students to Sacramento. Humboldt State University has been making regular trips to Sacramento and has kept the student voice alive at the Capital. Raises versus Student Fees Assembly Bill 2714, authored by Assemblywoman Karnette, prohibits an increase in UC or CSU executive salaries, benefits, or perquisites in a year when student fees are increased at the respective university. Salaries for the top university executives rose an average of 160 percent at the UCs and 90 percentattheCSUsfrom 1982 to 1992. From 1982 to 1992, student fees have risen 135 percent at UCs and 190 percent at CSUs. Since 1908, fees have increased in every year except 1984—regardless of the state's fiscal condition. Had this bill been in effect, no executive increases would have been permitted for at least the past decade! You can help this bill get passed by contacting your local legislature or campus CSSA representative through your Associated Student government office. Get Involved! Students Support New Campus A resolution giving support to the opening of CSU, Monterey Bay was passed by the California State Student Association on April 17. It was unknown whether the student organization would pass this resolution because of the concerns the students have with current and future budget cuts. The sixteen member board voted \manimously to support this new campus. raises $32,000 Approximately 300 friends and supporters attended CSUSM's seventh annual University Ball. The black-tie dinner-dance and silent auction were held at the Sheraton Grande Torrey Pines in La Jolla on April 9. The Ball raised over $32,000 to support the educational mission of the university. These funds are allocated by the Foundation Board of Directors to support important projects and activities which are not State-funded, such as: seed money for emerging programs, special curriculum development work, academic grant development, community activities and lectures, annual community/campus events such as the Pow Wow and the International Festival. Among the distinguished guests were Senator William A. "Bill" Craven, Assemblyman Robert Frazee, Senator David Kelly, City of San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau, and City of Carlsbad Mayor Bud Lewis. As part of the evening's festivities, CSUSM President Bill Stacy presented Bill Daniels as the 1994 honoree for his many contributions to the world of business, community, government, and philanthropic organizations. Connie L. Anderson of San Marcos, chair of the event, stated, "The ball was an unqualified success. This was due to the hard work of the executive committee and the generous support of many individuals and corporations. In addition, to an elegant evening, these people helped provide CSUSM with additionalfinancialsupport, a margin of excellence, needed to move the new university forward." There were many large supporters of the Ball. Corporations or individuals who purchased $2,000-Star Tables included: H.F. Ahmanson, Connie L. Anderson, Senator William A. " Bill" Craven, Daniels Cablevision, Dudek & Associates, Inc., Hillman Properties, Dr. Byong Kim, KPMG Peat Marwick/David and Patti Down, Northern Telecom, Palomar Pomerado Health System, Rancho Coronado/Rancho Coronado Properties LP, San Diego Gas & Electric, San Diego Union-Tribune, Sharp Mission Park Medical Group, and Bill and Sue Stacy. In addition several individuals and companies donated $1000 or more for underwriting the Ball expenses. These included: Koll Company, Thornes Bartolotta McGuire & Padilla (attorneys), Robert Spanjian, Ralphs Grocery Company, Connie Anderson and Bob and Ruth Mangrum. Also contributing to the success of the evening were the efforts of Lucia Misiolek who coordinated the ticket sales and Marcia .Schaefer who coordinated the silent auction. fl.S.

The Student Health Advisory Board (SHAB) is considering this issue. An Open Forum on this issue was held on Tuesday, May 3. We are aware that many students may not have been able to attend this forum for many reasons. The Student Health Advisory Board is still eliciting comments and ideas concerning this important student issue. Information concerning the Mandatory Student Health Fee is available at Student Health Services or by contacting me or members of the board. The final meeting of the SHAB this semester will be Tuesday, May 10, at 11 AM. Please, try to respond by this meeting since a recommendation will be developed that will be effective for the fall, 1994 semester. Along with the ongoing provision of primary and preventive health care as well as special augmented services, Student Health Services has a daily impact on your health and safety at CSUSM. Student Health Services insures the immunization status on all CSUSM students and administers vaccinations, protecting CSUSM students and staff from Measles, Rubella, Hepatitis, and a variety of other infectious diseases. Student Health Services keeps your classmates healthy, so they don't spread diseases to you. And when your classmate is too sick to attend class, we can work with the student and the instructor to excuse the absence for medical reasons in order to encourage the students to stay home and get well. Also, pharmacy services are available providing low cost prescription medications and, in the near future, selected over-thecounter products. We offer first aid and urgent care to call CSUSM students, staff and visitors. We will be involved in the campuswide emergency plan and will be at the center of any response to earthquake, fire or other major disasters. We provide medical support to major campus events, such as graduation. Health and Wellness information, materials and health education programs are provided to the campus as a whole.

But thousands die on our highways each year because of one bad habit. So getintoagoodhabitand buckle your safety belt. It could change your life. Children depend on us to keep them safe from harm. One of the easiest ways to do this is always buckle them into a child safety seat. Buckle, em up! Those of you who know first hand and have witnessed the effectiveness of safety belts, pass on the experience to a friend. Fun facts : Women are more safety conscious than men, with 63% always buckling up, versus 51% of the men. Drivers of silver cars are more likely to buckle up. Those who drive blue, black, and maroon cars are least likely to wear safety belts. BUCKLE UP FOR LIFE!

Teaching Diversity Through Racism Roy Latas StaffWriter According to the CSUSM Mission Statement attending this university, "provides an atmosphere in which students c an experience a challenging education in a supportive environment, preparing them to live cooperatively and competitively in a world of cultural and ethnic diversity " Exposing students to cultural diversity and global perspectives can present an enormous task for educators when our traditions have traditionally brought a different relevance to education. Oddly enough, an exceptional opportunity to study the African American viewpoint came this semester, but not as part of the Upper-Division General Education requirement. The educational opportunity lies in English400H: Major Authors-Ishmael Reed. Do not feel badly if you have not heard of Reed; he was hailed almost 20 years ago as a dynamic voice of the African American community and was nominated for two Pulitzer prizes in 1969. Yet recently, Reed has fallen out of his avant garde favor by displeasing feminists and segments of the African American scholastic community. The class has been taughtduring the Spring semester by Dr. Kenneth Mendoza who has exceptional foresight by bringing Ishmael Reed's work to light This Major Authors course has studied novels with the descriptive titles of Terrible Twos, Yellow Back Radio-Broke Down, Airing Dirty Laundry, Writing is Fighting and Mumbo Jumbo, to name a few. The class discussions revolve around the topics of misogyny, oral traditions in literature, blasphemy, rhetorical style, intraintercultural relations, and the accuracy of accepted historical facts. A female Liberal Studies major states, "Perhaps things you don't want to see or hear may be beneficial when trying to understand the nature of ethnic problems." Reed's dynamic voice challenges the faint of heart and the culturally biased reader with the frank and graphic language of a scholar gup E 2gS Sfl who has battled racism throughout his life. English major Greg Marre commends Reed's literary style as being "straightforward and not worried about who he will offend." Reed's accounts of the African American community seeking dignity in American society provide this reader with a cultural immersion that I have not found in other classes on this campus. Ishmael Reed's unique heritage encompasses the African, French, Irish, and Cherokee cultures which highlight some of the most seriously repressed cultural groups within our society over the last 100 years. Reed's novels approach racism through a satirical vein that questions economic policies, religious dogma, and outdated cultural biases. English majors find Reed's novels challenging because of an oral style of writing that neglects formal punctuation in several of the novels under study, yet the orality of the texts gives a conversational flavor that draws any reader into a personal involvement with the characters. English major Jeff Keehn comments, "As Reed reflects the complex composition of the modern human sensibility, he questions monolithic and monocultural biases." The novels of Ishmael Reed explain both the ideology of the oppressors and the oppressed in a way that the readers can place their opinions while realizing the implications of those opinions. The diversity pledged by CSUSM will evolve as our campus matures; however, the vehicles used to approach human unity through understanding diversity need to create an attitude of solidarity among humanity instead of the currently accepted separatebut-useful cultural recognition that pervades our society. Reed shows the complicated network of racism in America, and by understanding the conventions that produce racism, students deliberate on the vehicles to eliminate it. CSUSM's aggressive waste reduction program has received enthusiastic response from the campus community. Since the program has been in effect for a significant period of time, a survey of the population serviced will be taken in order to evaluate the program and make improvements where necessary. You are encouraged to take a few minutes of your time to complete the brief survey which has been mailed to you. Your completed survey may be dropped off at: Admissions and Records, Associated Students Office, Duplication Center, Library Circulation Desk, or University Store Customer Service Window. Completing the survey will assist the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee in developing an even more effective program. �CSUSM's Presidential Service Award Winners Leticia Iglesias with family members and other student award recipients.

And forcing citizens to look at each other and treat one another as Lawrence M. Ludlow K Franklin members of this group or that group, only hurts us all in the end. Yes, we may look different and speak different and even act different. But for government to solidify and galvanize those differences, only perpetuates the problem. All the feel-good programs lawmakers have passed, have failed to acknowledge the smallest unit of society, the individual. It is because of individual effort, that we are living longer, healthier and more comfortable lives. It was individuals using their minds—not because this race or that ethnic group or that gender caused it to happen. It was the individual, the enterprising, thinking individual. You want to protect endangered species? A private individual in Kenya is already doing it. Where once a dying population of elephants was nearing extinction, it is now flourishing because the elephants are owned and protected as private property by an "individual," with no cost to the taxpayer. Why the insistence on government to care for us? Is it because we don't trust one another anymore? Government has made us paranoid focusing its efforts on our differences, that we have forgotten we are all members of the same species—human. Can you trust a government that subsidizes tobacco and alcohol, and conducts radiation experiments on its own citizens, to care for your health, your welfare, or your child's education? Some of us have lost faith that man, acting freely, and on his or her own behalf, willdowhatisbestforhimselforherself. It's only through voluntary cooperation between individuals, not force, that we will achieve what is in each person's self-interest. We know this as thefreemarket. By dispersing power onto each individual, the free market provides a safety valve against the concentration of power. To give away our right to govern ourselves to a small band of thugs and think that they have our interests at heart, is as naive as it is a sure recipe for tyranny (and a lot less freedom). Someone once said that justice is blind. I choose to stay blind when it comes to humanity. When I look at people, I do not see members of aminority, ethnic, or racial group. All I see are faces of individuals. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Morality in the Classroom Setting Our Sights Too High Dear Editor: Dear Editor: Concerning the article, "Cliche in the Classroom": Mr. Huntington asserts, that "the future of our children depends upon" the removal of the three conservative Christian school board members in Vista. The atrocity these board members have committed is a recent move to focus sex education curriculum on abstinence rather than a "detailed discussion of methods of birth control at a time when the proper use of a condom could very easily mean the difference between life and death." It seems that Mr. Huntington finds such a move "morally repugnant." Mr. Huntington, your belief that birth control should be emphasized is morally repugnant. It is a fact that condom failure ratings are, at best 11 percent. Should we then teach "children" that it is perfectly allright to have sex using a condom when the chances of failed protection is 11 percent or higher? Would you, Mr. Huntington, send your child to school if there was an 11 percent chance she would contract a deadly disease? No, you would not. You, like any other sensible parent, would make your child abstain from putting themsetves lii such a deadly position, i , and many other people, can testify that abstinence is not an unrealistic "cliche." Furthermore, abstinence is the only foolproof way of avoiding STDs. Moral repugnance occurs when moral recluses deceive children about the real facts of STD prevention. David Michael Bruno I do believe we are setting our sights too , high heape on our CSUSM campus. I t's time -fof Ml of us to lower our sights, at least temporarily, to see the mess that is under our feet. The concrete plazas, walkways, decks and stairways, are showing signs of the worst disregard for civility, manners and aesthetics that any college campus, especially such a new one, should be forced to exhibit. I t's not only smokers, and spitters, but the gum chewers as well. Is it just another way to be"COOL" or "RAD"? I'll bet your parents said that we all have a responsibility "not to foul our nest." Or perhaps you had to be too neat at home, so now you're rebelling. Do you throw lit cigarettes from your car windows (a fine if you're caught, maybe a destructive fire if you're not)? Do you drop gum and gum wrappers wherever you travel (a sign of adolescence, not adulthood)? Come on, people, we are 8ffeaStcollege juniors here at San Marcos. Do we need to translate this message into Japanese or Spanish, fifth-grade English or "valley-girl" and put it on :si^fts '2ilI ovdf campus? Or can you al make a conscious, adult decision to snuff out the cigs in sand or use some other safe disposal method. And throw the damn gum in the trash, not the recyling bins, the trash!

However, Merryl Goldberg, assistant professor at California State University, San Marcos found that using poetry as an educational tool dramatically improved students' reading and writing abilities, attention, comprehension, and most importantly, enthusiasm about learning and expressing knowledge. In researching the uses of poetry in a 4th grade classroom in Southern California, Goldberg found that using poetry in the classroom resulted in students doing far more writing and reading, and showing a higher level of comprehension on what they are reading. flower -Like aKeezefloatiiiJ ronger p et^s'tebsq f^iw fit l IptilMy a stemi^j lill f | l S S i l l ! I I weak tl "When the rules of grammar and syntax are eliminated, as they can be in poetry, writing becomes playful. This can set the stage for children who are developing their English skills to work with words and ideas. Students learn best when they are engaged and are having fun, and there is no question that is exactly what is going on when students are doing poetry," explained Goldberg. Writing poetry led naturally to reading poetry. "Children in the class are devouring books on poems," Goldberg explained. The project improved selfesteem and helped shy students overcome their reluctance to speak in front of others. It enabled a student with behavioral problems to blossom, and it was a source of inspiration for students who were learning to read." Goldberg further found that writing poetry helps students gain understandings of subject matter, such as science. "Writing poetry requires action and attention on the part of the student, so they get a deeper understanding of the subject," said Goldberg. One student composed a poem on meteors after a science lesson: Meteors fly like a fly. Maybe it's a butterfly with its wings spread high in the sky. Goldberg's students have written poems on numerous subjects including sharks, family, oceanography, and holidays around the world.

Congratulations! VOLUNTEER COUNSELORS NEEDED FOR SPECIAL SUMMER CAMP Counselors are needed for Camp-ALot, a residential summer camp program at Palomar Mountain that is operated by ARC-San Diego (Association for Retarded Citizens). The camp provides children and adults who have developmental disabilities with the opportunity to participate in regular summer camp activities such as hiking, swimming, arts and crafts. Ordinarily some 100 campers, from ages 6 through adult, attend each of the four sessions. "Our ratio of counselors to campers is much higher than you would find in a regular camp situation," said Lin Taylor, camp director. "If we don't have enough counselors, we have to turn away campers and they do not get this wonderful opportunity to learn about nature." Counselors are needed for sessions runningfromJuly 5 through Aug. 16. A children-only session will run Aug. 1115. Volunteer counselors must be 18 or older and make a commitment to complete at least one camp session. No experience is necessary and orientation will be provided. Counselors receive room, board, transportation to and from the camp, Taylor said. • Room available to serious, mature student on ranch in Escondido. References required. Call 745-6506.

Senior By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride Staff Writer Executives Charged With From gas-guzzling SUV's to penny-pinching economy cars, CSU San Marcos students journey from far off places in an attempt to receive their college education. Many mothers, fathers, sons and daughters struggle to get to campus in hopes that their education will one day increase their status on the economic ladder. With this in view, many students have wondered why San Marcos doesn't have a vanpool for students. Unethical Activities A large sample of the academic leaders in the community of Cal State San Marcos were asked what social issue they care about most. The following are the responses of those professors interested enough to formulate a reply. By JARED THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer In March 2003, the California State Auditor: Bureau of State Audits, released an audit report on the California State University system's procurement of Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft). Among the findings of the report are potential conflicts-of-interest and criminal activities, security issues that could possibly lead to the electronic identity theft of CSU staff, faculty and students, as well as an inappropriate handling of funds that may have negative effects on the CSUSM students and faculty. "I am most concerned about the narrow focus on the individual - to the detriment of the community - in the United States these days. Too many people who enjoy the benefits of living in the US — the standard and quality of living, the civil liberties, the wide open opportunities - appear to be interested only in getting more for themselves, without recognizing that in doing so, they may be depriving others in this country - and certainly many folks in other countries - of access to the fundamental needs for survival We do not \get it' that our lives are inextricably linked to the lives of people in virtually every country in the world - we need them as much as they need us (it's called complex interdependence) - and we should be civil and considerate of their needs" -Vicki L. Golich, Department of Political Science Conflict of Interest The report, initiated last spring by State Senator Richard Alarcon (D-Campbell) and State Assembly member Manny Diaz (D-San Jose) at the request of the California Faculty Association (CFA), asserts that the CSU "did not do enough to prevent conflicts of interest by decision makers for CMSrelated procurements." The report states that the lack of effort to prevent conflicts of interest resulted in two CSU system senior executives, involved with the decision making process in acquiring technological supplies and services for the entire CSU system, engaging in potentially unethical behavior, some of which is unlawful. ees to disclose their personal assets and income. According to the report, the CSU system and some CMS management personnel did not disclose their personal information, casting a duplicitous shadow over the relationship between CMS and the CSU system. California State Auditor Elaine Howie, discovered that two CSU system executives in particular engaged in incompatible activities as defined by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)'s eight-step analysis to determine whether an individual has a conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act of 1974. According to the eight-step analysis, any public official, including all employees of the CSU system, may not make, participate in making, use or attempt to use their position in order to influence a government decision, such as the procurement of CMS/ PeopleSoft, in which "they know, or have reason to know, that the decision will have a reasonably foreseeable material, financial effect on their economic interests." One senior executive, Vice-Chancellor David Ernst, who participated in the CMS procurement, which occurred in April of 1997, received income and compensation from CMS of up to $11,000 per month from years 1996 through 1998 for facilitating meetings prior to the procurement, and for consultation fees after the procurement.

Vanpools leave and arrive at various times allowing students to get to class early and leave as late as 5 or 6 p.m. Although none of the university vanpools are f ree of charge ($50 a month), they provide students with economical and practical alternative methods of transportation. A high percentage of CSU San Marcos students are commuters. Traveling from as far as Temecula and Costa Mesa, Chula Vista and San Ysidro can be a strenuous process. Sociology senior Shana Lewis said, "It is an atrocity that CSU San Marcos doesn't have a vanpool. They probably aren't doing it because it would affect parking sales." Liberal Studies major and Temecula resident Matt Mestas expressed this same frustration with the J&e RIDE SHARING, page 5 �P eopleSoft E ditorial Staff E ditors-in-chief Alyssa Finkelstein 8c M artha Sarabia D esign 8c P hoto E ditor Desmond Barca N ews E ditor Gail Tarantino F eature E ditor Jennifer Acee A rts E ditor Chris Martin O pinion 8c A ssistant D esign E ditor Jason Padilla S panish E ditor ^ M artha Sarabia S ports E ditor Jessica G raduate I ntern 1 S taff W riters J ared Thompson, Jeff Brownlee, Jeanne ft« Sapp, Jennifer Rhodus, Gabriel M artin, Dave Werth, Erik Roper, Gerald Jones, Meg Eppel, Julie Myres, Jamal Scarlett, Adrian Ciindifi; Diana K.

By SARA COLBRESE Pride Staff Writer What Students Are Saying After years of hard work, stress, and mind throbbing yet gratifying accomplishments, many graduating seniors are required one last tedious duty: the graduation portfolio. Faculty and students have different opinions; both are left with the same question regarding how both the administration's expectations for the portfolio, as well as the expectations of students, can be successfully achieVed. The graduate portfolio is required for six different majors at CSUSM, including the multiple subject, liberal arts, and single subject waiver program in social science, history, literature and writing studies. (LTWR), math, and science. These are the degrees a student would obtain if s/he chooses to apply to a credential program. A portfolio consists of four original papers, complete with faculty comments from various semesters throughout CSUSM studies, as well as a 3-4-page reflection for each of the four entries. The final bound product is required to be turned in no less then one month before graduation. A flurry of chit-chat regarding this portfolio can be heard in many upper division classes on campus. These are the voices of angry seniors who feel that the portfolio requirement is just one more set of hoops they must jump through in order to satisfy the administration. Many feel that they were not warned about the graduation portfolio, and therefore had not felt the need to save their original papers. LTWR senior Nichole Jester said, "I just found out about them last semester and have not saved nearly enough work to represent my true challenges and intellect. Liberal studies major Gail Tarantino shares this concern as she "found out about the portfolio by word of mouth and by the liberal Studies blue sheet." Tarantino says that not once had any counselor or advisor mentioned it to her. The lack of communication between the faculty portfolio advisors and the students does not stop there; students are also expressing their frustration with its overall effectiveness. "I think it's pointless - the papers we turn in are already According to Susie Cassel, graded. If I turn in papers the original purpose if of that received an 'A' from my this portfolio was to act as an professor, whoever looks at the evaluative and reflective tool portfolio isn't going to fail my from which a student may portfolio," argued Tarantino. track their growth. It seems, Along with the "pointlessness" however, that the students on of the requirement, some campus have a slightly different students feel that it fails to act as testimony to opinion about its purpose. their accomplishments.

With an audience of approximately twenty students, faculty and administrators, Paige Jennings from the CSUSM office of communications mediated a panel of three in a discussion about the embedded journalists who were used in the recent war with Iraq. The panel included Kent Davy, editor in chief of The North County Times, Dr. Sam Hamod, an Arab and Islam expert and editor of Alteraativenews.org, and Major General Claude Rienke, a retired officer and publisher of The Californian, the Riverside counterpart to The North County Times. In his opening statement, Davy referred to the embedded rules that journalists were expected to follow. Only two journalists violated these rules and were asked to leave; one being Geraldo Rivera. An audience member questioned, "[After] Vietnam, the military learned to control the media, to have certain agendas put forth. Was there a plan to spyfold information? Were correspondents taken out of line if they didn't act correctly?" Rienke answered, "Reporters did not have the time to think of other messages unlike in Vietnam."

By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM university police department is offering new student identification cards to students who currently have their social security on their school ID. This change was made by administration in the middle of the fall 2003 semester. Thus, any student who has gotten an ID after that time should have a randomly selected number in place of the social security number. This change is in response to only one known person's request, made by a student with concern for the privacy of students' social security numbers. The change was quickly put in place in response HIGH GEAR!

According to an article published in The Pride during the fall 2003 semester, Jonathan Poullard, dean of students at CSUSM, was quoted as saying, "We are working to immediately phase out the use of SSNs on student IDs." Students can stop by parking services during their regular business hours in order to be issued a new student ID with a randomly selected student number, which will be printed on the card instead of the student's social security number.

C ourtesy Photo. Danny " Slapjazz" Barber and Leland "Spoonful" Collings. Photo by Adrian Cundiff. By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The X-men sequel is one of the best adventure movies of recent years, better than the first, if not quite as much fun as last years' Spiderman. As an action movie, it delivers the requisite effects and action sequences, which are very impressive. Fine acting and attention to character make the movie unique and more memorable than most comic book movies. The characters are all greatly expanded from both their comic counterparts and the first movie, actually giving an emotional feeling to the action. It is definitely worth seeing, but possibly a little confusing to non-fans. While the first movie suffered from a pretty threadbare plot, this one may have a little too much. The film does an outstanding job of juggling the several storylines, even managing to tie them all together in a logical way. However, there are an awful lot of characters here- nearly everyone from the first movie returns, and every one of them evolves in some way. There are also several new characters, whom are also given an awful lot of plot and character burden. The best moments are of character interaction. Unfortunately, these moments are too often lost in the big action set pieces. material condescendingly. Not here. Nearly every returning character improves. On a particular note, the X-women- Berry, Famke Janssen and Rebecca Romijn Stamos all have a lot more screen time, and all make the most of it. However, Hugh Jackman makes the deepest impression as Wolverine. He is a natural at showing all sides of Wolverine's personality and it's hard to imagine anyone else in the role. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart both bring classical acting skills to elder mutants Magneto and Professor X respectively. Among the new actors, Cummings has a very bad German accent, but he is good when it counts, as in his scenes with Storm. Brian Cox, as the hammy villain Stryker, was pretty annoying, though. The special effects and set pieces don't disappoint. From the opening scene of Nightcrawler attacking the White House to the duel between Wolverine and the similarly clawed Yuriko, the action is exciting and very well directed. The mutant's powers look realistic most of the time. The familiar settings that the mutants move through make their powers both unreal and strangely believable. Also impressive is the movie's depiction of telepathy, which is sorely underused as a superpower in film. The cacophony of voices Jean Grey is forced to hear give Jannsen one of her best moments. The It's not that you lose track of anyone. makeup on some characters is jarring, but But- well, take one of the new characters, impressive, and helps visualize the themes Alan Cummings' Nightcrawler.

This provides very betrayals of the human world. The scenes emotional undercurrents, particularly in a between them are fascinating, with some "coming out" scene, where young Iceman very strong romantic undertones, and you reveals his mutant abilities to his family. start to wonder where their relationship Magneto represents the oppressed that could lead.

MacDonald's "Travis McGee" Series Is Still A Landmark in Popular Fiction By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer In 1964 author John D. MacDonald brought one of fiction's most imposing characters into existence. MacDonald's "Travis McGee" to this day represents perhaps the most interesting and compelling character to inhabit the world of paperbacks. McGee first makes his appearance in MacDonald's "The Deep Blue Goodbye." MacDonald describes his creation as, "That big loose-jointed boat bum, that slayer of small savage fish, that beachwalker, gin-drinker, quip-maker-that man named Travis McGee." Throughout the Travis McGee series MacDonald does a wonderful job with his descriptions of McGee as well as the other characters and situations that populate McGee's world. McGee is a harmless rogue who lives At one level McGee is the ultimate male aboard a large houseboat the "Busted fantasy character, a competent and indeFlush", which he won in a poker game. pendent non-conformist who lives entirely Our hero earns his living by retriev- by his wits and answers to no one.

The novels themselves are fast-paced and compelling. John D. MacDonald brought a wealth of experience to the Travis McGee series, having been a writer of suspense and science fiction for many years. MacDonald had earned his chops in both the short story and novel mediums, and it shows. His writing is tight and economical and he can bring startling plot twists seemingly out of nowhere without the appearance of their being forced or contrived. During and immediately after WWII MacDonald served as an officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) the precursor agency to the CIA. This may be the source of the detail and realism that pervades the "Travis McGee" series. The "Travis McGee" series is a classic in the detective novel genre and proof that the late John D. MacDonald was one of the twentieth century's master novelists. o CLASSIFIEDS 760-724-9423 EGG DONORS NEEDED Ages 19-29, $4,000 Compensation Call Melissa @ Building Families 800-790-7633 PILLOWTOP MATTRESS SETS - BRAND NEW Orthopedic Mattress+Box.

While the efforts of The Pride may seem disjointed to some, the fact remains that students are free to write, rant, vent, or criticize anything that they choose. It's th^t freedom that the administration has sought to squelch. They cut the funding for the graduate intern, without whom the class cannot run. They cut it after the instructor applied for the funding for next year. That round goes to the administration. Without a free press, the game is lost. There is no question that our institution of higher education has ecome an institution of higher Ifees. Larger classes with fewer lass offerings are promised for the all semester.

Jorge Riquelme, a Liberal Studies Department teacher at CSUSM said, "Unfortunately, much of the emphasis in education reform efforts is narrowly placed in improving schooling practices (e.g., instruction and curriculum) and not in addressing simultaneously the social context of education (e.g., poverty and exclusion)." I disagree. Unfortunately, not enough emphasis is placed on the educational fundamentals of instruction and curriculum. Too much emphasis is placed on tolerance, diversity, and a host of other social and political issues which become irrelevant in a society that can't read, write, add, or think critically. Comments like Mr. Riquelme's cause me to despair for this generation of high school and college students. They are becoming less and less qualified to compete in the world because they have been shortchanged in their education. The teachers and professors who love learning and teaching are leaving the public school system. They'll make less money in the private school system, but they will be free t o teach academic subjects to* students who want to be there, and be paid by parents who appreciate their talents. The disintegration of the grounds, the poor planning displayed by the administration in where l o hold which class, the lack of interest in what the students need, and the devaluation of the diploma, indicate a deep chasm in the academic ideology of CSUSM. Without a strong teaching staff, respect for students' time and money, and a newspaper that is free to print whatever is news, diversity and social issues are moot. It's too bad we can't all just take a semester off, and let the administration deal with that cash flow problem. 2003 CSVSM graduation May tT, 2003 May t?, 2006 Consolidation* At&l ! !

"Now is the time to raise awareness and ramp up support for the Alliance for the CSU," said Lillian Taiz, President of CFA and a professor of history at CSU Los Angeles. "We must rally together and organize ourselves while school is in session to fight of these staggering cuts because we will have more limited resources during the summer."

Moreover, f rom the 'ìÀmàtm looks of the promotional material, "Wall-E" will not disappoint. $0 S l ^ ^ t e ^ Ö ^ i ^ ^ S l It is hard to make a prediciiiiifipIBi tion based on a movie I have not seen, but I can only t hink positively of t his f ilm based on the material online. The t railer is very impressive and I shows how this f ilm will appeal t o people with its humor and storyline. The creativity in the plot is also a clever idea. Also, the screenshots ensure this f ilm will be visually spectacular. Even if I am wrong about the quality of t his movie, it will look incredible, guaranteed. I realize I am being bold picking "Wall-E" as the best, especially considering some of. the other f ilms coming out. I am sure " The Dark K night" and others will be spectacular. In addition, some f ilms I believe will be all f lash and no bang, meaning they may have a great amount of hype, but they will let down in the quality department. "Wall-E" gives the impression that it will be a strong film and have appeal to all moviegoers. I have thought about for a long time, and I have no doubt Disney-Pixar will not disappoint t his summer. Recently they have been on a strong streak, which I do not see ending soon. The potential for this f ilm is high and I can say with complete honesty that it will get next y ear's Oscar for Best A nimated. Nevertheless, I will t ake it one-step f urther and predict it to pick up a nomination for Best Picture. " Ratatouille" deserved one and my gut is telling me t his will be j ust as good, if jiot better. I wish you happy viewing t his summer! B lood, S weat, Tears, a nd t ime t o relax BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer The end to another successful school year. And by "successful", I mean we're all still alive with most of our limbs intact The phrase "intact" is, of course, negotiatable, since my grandfather has a hole in his leg that goes straight through to China, but we'll just try to think positive. How could you head into summer though without some timeless advice from your favorite columnist? And now that you've read their words of wisdom, you can have mine. My Tips for Surviving Summer with Style, Grace, and Minimum Collateral Damage 1. Designate a driver. I'm not talking about for when you drink. I mean, in general. You're going be much too busy with suntans and classy internships or vacations to worry about ridiculous things like speed limits and pedestrians. 2. There's always YouTube. Before you try to make your own Studio 54 in your living room, be aware that EVERYTHING ends up on the internet, particularly on YouTube. So even though you are with one intimate partner, or you're only going to do whatever it is this once, or you heard it's all the rage in the wilds ofMinnesota, know that somehow, whatever it is, it's going to be immortalized. And you will never be able to run for public office. Unless you're rich. 3. Today's tan is tomorrow's skin cancer. Yeah, my grandmother spent her summer days at the beach and her nights working at the telephone company. As a result, she still fondly remembers switchboards, and has to have a cancerous spot burned off her face every three months or so. And they had an ozone layer back then. So put on some sunscreen already. 4. He'll still be there in the morning. Before you cheapen yourself because it's just summer, and it's just one night, and you're just having so much fun, just think: what if he's still there in the morning? Are you gonna feel cheap or used, or just plain annoyed? What if he wants breakfast, or worse yet, a full-on romance? Just because it's summer doesn't mean everyone knows you're "no drama before morning coffee" clause. Your decisions will still haunt you (perhaps on YouTube), even if you made them in the hazy July heat 5. Have some fun. For a lot ofyou, nothing will change, except that your job that was part-time during the school year will become fuUtime. Or you'll have to find a job at all in a massive hurry. But around the hustle and bustle, make some time for yourself We live in a place most people go to on vacation. Try to sit back and enjoy it just like they do, minus getting lost and thinking Sea World is worth the admission cost i v I 1 S it E include aa address, telephone j Ì tioa.

Buying the vote: Suspending the gas tax BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer The electoral winds haven't shifted. They've died, and now we're in the political doldrums. The flurry of exciting primaries in February has passed, leaving the candidates with idle hands over the past few weeks. It is with these idle hands that some of the candidates have made the devil's work, or at the very least, cheapened electoral politics beyond recovery. The biggest news in April revolved around Obama's relationship to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. As some continue to beat that dead horse, the candidates have finally given us some politics, however second rate, to grab onto with the debate over suspending the federal gas tax this summer. Clinton's proposal would suspend the 18.4 cent per gallon gas tax for the summer travel season and replace it with a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. Similarly, McCain's proposal would suspend the federal tax over summer as well, although his proposal would not tax the oil companies, instead replacing the lost revenue with funds diverted from other programs. To the economically frustrated American, it's difficult not to embrace a politician offering salvation from staggering gas prices. Far from a saving grace, Clinton and McCain's proposed gas tax suspension offers trivial financial relief. But with the political advantages of supporting such a proposal so evident, Clinton and McCain just couldn't resist. To put it into perspective, a sav- ings of 18.4 cents a gallon for a 15 gallon gas tank puts $2.76 back into the drivers pocket every time they go to the pump. Filling up once a week for 3 months saves the average driver somewhere between $30-$35. This is the big fix Clinton and McCain offer. Of these two proposals floating around between Clinton and McCain, both have a distinctly common air of political maneuvering about them. Clinton, who has been known to manipulate truth for political gain, is looking for something with which she can draw a sharp policy distinction from Obama. Even after her victories in March and April, Clinton is struggling to put together anything close to a come back. In her interview with George Stephanopoulos, Clinton dismissed the "elitist" views of a wide body of economists that argue her proposal would offer little financial relief to Americans. It seems that it is much easier to offer financial relief than it is to actually provide it. Her support of this hollow proT posal is ill informed and nearly indefensible. But at least McCain has an excuse: he's a Republican. Cutting taxes with complete disregard to budgetary consequences is a ritual sacred to the Republican candidate, especially as the electoral moons align. Taking it easy on the oil companies and showing fiscal irresponsibility is McCain's idea of showing strong leadership. Sound familiar? The only admirable aspect of either pitch is the reintroduction of a windfall profits tax on oil companies proposed by Clinton. Taxing the oil companies for profiting off of high oil prices is something we should already be doing as we have done in the past, but by no means should it be a substitution for the gas tax. Obama has been quick to criticize McCain and Clinton, but despite his fervent opposition, even he isn't without sin. During his tenure as in the Illinois Senate, Obama voted for a suspension of the state gas tax for summer travel similar. Without dismissing his past support of similar policies, it is important to note that Obama isn't buying into these foolish gestures anymore. If this feeble exercise in political pandering has proven anything, it's that smoke and mirrors don't always fool American voters. A CBS/NY Times poll released May 5 found that only 44% of voters thought the gas tax suspension was a good idea compared to the 51% that thought it was a bad idea Even more embarrassing for McCain and Clinton, the survey also found that 70% of voters thought the candidates supported the tax suspension because it would help them politically. Where the public is too often fooled by empty policy, the people's dismissal of this shameful proposal speaks to the transparency of Clinton and McCain's underlying motives. It is all too easy to toss around tax cuts to gamer public support, but be prepared to back your words up. Rather than play blindly into this cheap manipulation, voters should be questioning to what extent they would allow their economic desperation t o be taken advantage of for political gain.

The CSUSM nursing program shared the enthusiasm toward the partnership. "We are very g rateful that Kaiser Permanente has selected California State University San Marcos as the first CSU to benefit f rom this unique program," said Judith Papenhausen, director of the CSUSM School of Nursing. "It will ease the financial burden of some of our students and help address the critical shortage of nurses throughout San Diego, Riverside and Los Angeles counties." The school of nursing started in 2006 with 44 students and today has since grown to 164 students.

However, a recent grant from the National Institutes of Health to a CSUSM professor may shed light on this complex medical enigma. The NIH offered Dr. Bianca Mothe a four-year, $440,000 grant to research the reasons behind this puzzle. She, along with CSUSM students, will look at diseases in groups, and the body's use of its built-in defenses. The research conducted by Dr. Mothe and students will look into cells called "helper cells." They will be looking into how these may offer natural resistance to diseases. The reason some people may not be prone to illness is that they have prolific "helper cells" to keep them safe. For those that do not have these defense cells, disease is more likely to affect them. Therefore, the research will involve looking into how doctors can implement or encourage these cells in order to protect a person. According to a press release, hopes for this project also includes being closer in determining a cure or vaccine for terrible afflictions such as Hepatitis C. One of the reasons the NIH chose Dr. Mothe was because of her strong interest in the biological field of illness. In her post-graduate work, she studied the AIDS virus on monkeys, which initially sparked her concern. During this work, she noticed how some creatures had a natural resistance. She cited the immune system for this because the "helper- cells" prevented the virus from reproducing and taking over the species. In some instances^ these cells were able to destroy the virus all together. Her previous work with tnonkeys creates optimism. She has shown th^t monkeys with natural resistance perform better than those who scientists treat with the cur- You survived: Preview BY ALEXANDER HAND Pride Staff Writer First year students looking to t ake a break from studying should attend Student Life And Leadership's (SLL) last "Survival Series" workshop today, Tues. May 6 during U-hour at the Clark Field House in room 110. ' The last workshop of the year, entitled "You Survived" is a celebration for first year students sur- viving their first year at CSUSM. . The event is sponsored by Student Life and Leadership and New Student Programs, and will feature free lunch and free giveaways to participating students. Jenny McDonald, a student that attended last year's event stated, "it's a good way to relax and have f un before finals." This workshop will be the eighth and final event of the year for the "Survival Series." Event coordinator, Eric Rowe, stated the each event features, "tips on how to get students involved, how to be successful, and how to enjoy their experience at CSUSM." The event is open but not restricted to all first year students at CSUSM. Students not able to make it to this event should look forward to the "Survival Series" making a return in the fall with all new events. rent vaccine. The National Institutes of Health, the group who finance this project have headquarters in Maryland and are a federal establishment under the U.S. Department of Health and Human services. According to their mission statement, their goal is "pursuit of fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to extend healthy life." They are the head of twenty institute branches that research afflictions and the human body. They study specific conditions, such as aging and blindness, as well as afflictions in certain parts of the body, such as skin and lungs. By financing Dr. Mothé, they hope to increase understanding on the body's defenses. Dr. Mothé came to CSUSM in 2003 in order, to maintain her work on understanding the importance of "helper cells." Her previous studies include working with mice to observe the immune system, which was possible through a three-year grant. She will continue to work at CSUSM because of her appreciation of the unique environment where undergraduate students can conduct research with her. According to, Dr. Motilé, " I think we're a good combination of research and teaching by bringing them into our lab." SAE Basketball Fundraiser BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSMs Sigma Alpha Epislon Fraternity will be hosting a charity basketball game in honor of Mission Hills High School student, Scott Eveland, who was critically injured in a football game last September.

Risk Management is responsible for communicating with the campus on how to effectively m inimize the repercussions of liabilities involved on campus. All state employees (including s taff and faculty at CSUSM) are classifiedias disaster service workers. .Thus, t W brochure clearly outlines expectations and areas of concern p ertaining to safety that faculty are supposed to provide for students. It is essential that all faculty members are familiar with Risk Management's policies, so the brochure that was created is á helpful reference. The brochure first addresses classroom safety so faculty can effectively provide a safe learning environment. Classroom safety is broken down into i nforming students throughout class meetings about the hazards to be encountered and consequent safety precautions, emergency reporting (dial 911 on a university phone to contact the University Police), and laboratory safety. There is also a classroom emergency-preparedness video at http:// www.csusm.edu/ep/Video/. There are specific concerns explained p ertaining to disabled students, so pre-planning is advised or a second option is a University Marshall, who is experienced and has t raining in dealing with student disabilities. Another important point the brochure emphasizes is to not use elevators in a case of any emergency. A second issue that the brochure focuses on is out-of-classroom safety. This can include a range of activities including study abroad programs, field trips, and internships. Regarding study abroad programs, faculty are required to provide the mandatory information to insure a safe e xperience/With field trips or other out-of-class activities, faculty members must convey, to students compliance with university policies, a specific example of a policy being alcohol use during the class activity. The Classroom Safety procedure is also applicable in this category for reporting risks for students and proper precautions. A final point is that waivers and other permission forms must be completed and submitted before the event takes place and that there must be a contact person in case of an emergency. A third category of the brochure is internships. The Out-of-Classroom Safety is also relevant in this category. Added responsibilities entail the following: coordinating the student's off-campus experience with appropriate groups, m aking obvious possible risks to students and other individuals and the university's insurance coverage, having the student's emergency contact information, and promoting the student(s) to "follow-up" with the faculty member of any concerns. If a student becomes injured, faculty are required to report the incident t o University Police (and assist the University Police in completing an I njury Report), recommending students to seek medical attention (from the Student Health Center), and contact the Dean of Students for serious injuries. If the i njury is grave, emergency personnel will cover procedures for medical treatment. For f urther information and i nquiries/Risk Manage^ ment is located in Craven Hall 4700.

The video appears to be an experiment where men and women in white lab coats and gloves roll six different tires down a ski jump and measure how far they launch. The tires used comefroma minivan, a sedan, a sports car, a garbage truck, an F-l, and a bulldozer. If the video were just of the tires rolling and seeing how fast and far they go it would be Leave the Sprinting to us. North County's ttew SPRINTER tight rail train lias arrived.

It's important to make a distinction. It is a film that has been based on a comic book. To me, 'comic book movies' are those complete wastes of production costs with ridiculous premises, easily despised heroes, and an ending so contrived and expected that they make "Winnie the Pooh" seem like a shocking thriller. No, this is a film. There's a plot. There's acting. There is an honest attempt to entertain without insulting the intelligence of the audience, which is something I haven't seen in a long time in a blockbuster film. And make no mistake: "Iron Man" will be a blockbuster, perhaps the first that I would recommend you see in a while, and definitely the first of the superhero films I would cofisider seeing a second time. Unlike other films, in which the hero is submersed in toxic goo and gains magic strength, or gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gains superpowers, the premise of this flick is, if not highly believable, at least has a somewhat logical progression. A man invents a suit that enables him to fly and do other amazing things (and I don't want to give anything away so I'll keep it general). But said man is already a wunderkind, a genius son of an atomic scientist, who graduated top of his class at MIT. He doesn't gain his knowledge in a ridiculous manner, suddenly, from a prophesied eclipse or an extremely convenient nuclear a supporting cast that includes Terrence accident.

The newest Mexican food haven is located tight up the street from campus, with perfect hours for early morning and late night burrito fixes. They are open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday to Saturday and offer fairly cheap prices, especially for burrito-starved students. Upon entering, the sizzle of the grill and the sound of mariachi music are quite inviting. Sombrero's menu is a sea of burritos, tacos, combination plates, and other mouthwatering deliciousness. " For burrito critics, the carne asada burritos are fit for kings (and queens... and everyone else in the court). The standard carne asada is filled with guacamole, pico de gallo (tomatos, onion, cilantro), ajid of course, carne asada.

Wilson Creek's Almond Champagne BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Karl Strauss Brewing Company brews Endless Summer Light, a throwback to the 1964 movie "The Endless Sumpier," by filmmaker Bruce Brown, in San Diego, California. Karl Strauss operates six brewery restaurants in Southern California. The Carlsbad location sits closest to CSUSM. The company began in 1989 with Karl Strauss, his cousin, C EO and co-founder Chris Cramer, and Cramer's college comrade and the company's president, Matt Retner. Karl Strauss was born in Minden, Germany; He was actually born on the land of his father's brewery. He grew up on the brewery and left when he was 18. He earned a degree in Science of Malting and Brewing from the Technical University Munich at Weihenstephan, Germany. He person to receive Award of Honor Award of Merit Master Brewer's ation of the Ameri- tainer holds six 12 fluid ounce d^Bf brown glass bottles and retails for $7.99 at BevMo. A simple scene most likely taken from the movie "The Endless Summer" identifies as the centerpiece of the packaging. Sandy tan and sun burned orange hues color the packaging. The bottles adoring yellow bottle caps, share the same imaging. The beer pours smooth, like running water from a garden hose on a lawn on a hot summer day. No head forms but a thin brim of suds ensure that the rising carbonated bubbles do not release any flavoring of hops and malts. The beverage embodies a crisp amber color similar to the rays rising off the waves at local San Diego County beaches in summer time.

The Wilson family Cheers! purchased 20 acres of land in the Temecula Valley Wine Country in 1996 with intentions of operating a winery. Twelve years later, the winery has grown in popularity and magnitude. The winery is a favorite amongst local residents and year-round tourists. Champagne, France owns exclusive rights to uSe the term champagne for their sparkling wine. The U.S. recognizes these rights in respect to President Carter's signature in the Treaty of Versailles. However, the U.S. Senate never ratified the treaty. Therefore, the U.S. legally allows U.S. manufacturers of sparkling wine to name their product "champagne" if the manufacturer clearly •indicates the geographical location in which the sparkling wine originates on their bottles. Essentially, champagne and sparkling wine are synonymous in the product they describe, regardless of the lingo. Wilson Creek Almond Flavored California Champagne retails for $10.99 at BevMo. The 750 ML bottle has an 11% alcohol by volume and arrives from Woodbridge, CA. The champagne displays a faint blonde shade when poured into a glass generating bitter and sugary scents. The beverage begins smooth with flavors similar to marshmallows and almonds while finishing with a slight kick of bitterness. The quick transition from sweet to bitter creates a delightful treat for the taste buds. • To celebrate the many festivities and ' �A&E THE PRIDE Tuesday; May 6, 2005 15 Coldplay releases new single English rockers climb "Violet Hill" BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer Alternative British exports Coldplay have set their sights on June 17 as the official release date for their fourth album, Viva La Vida or Death AndAll His Friends. Though fans of the band have awhile to wait, they can delight in the generous unveiling of Viva's first single, "Violet Hill." Generosity may well be an understatement. On April 27, Coldplay revealed that they would release "Violet Hill" from the band's website entirely free of charge beginning on April 29 at 12:l3PM (4:15AM Pacific Time) for exactly one week. Unfortunately, the surprise announcement came too late for the Pride to inform our favorite Brit-pop-loving classmates of this fabulous freebie. Without any publicity, "Violet H iir is already receiving massive amounts of air- play worldwide. If you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing this morsel of musical bliss, you are in the right place to satiate your hunger before Viva hits iTunes. The song begins in a relatively expected way. Moody ambient guitar swims through a seemingly empty space in a rather lengthy 40-second intro. Suddenly, frontman Chris Martin's voice pierces through the foggy synth, "Was a long and dark December," not to be -confused with the Counting Crows song. The verse seems to settle into Coldplay's trademark heavyhanded piano only for a time, then a hairpin turn ensues in the form of Johnny Buckland's guitar coming down hard in the style of A Rush of Blood to the Head's "Politik." No real chorus exists but Martin's longing plea to a seemingly absent lover, "If you love me/Won't you let me know?" The verse to follow bears lyrics alluding to a war of sorts, "Priests clutched onto Bibles/ All rode out to fit theirrifles,"with sentiments concerning the fight akin to Keane's "A Bad Dream." Just past the halfway point, Buckland's guitar solo utilizes a sound that I, personally, have never heard out of these musicians. A simple vibe wins out in the end, conjuring a sight of Martin sitting solemnly alone calling out to his lost love. The single ultimately delivers a song structure like that of X&Y's "Square One:" a hushed intro, commanding verses, and a lullaby of a wrap-up. If Coldplay isn't your scene, Viva may just be the turning point. Rumored album elements include Middle Eastern percussion, Latininfluenced rhythms, looped electronic riffs, and Martin's newfound deeper vocals. Judging by Viva's free sample single, no one truly knows what to expect from the dynamic genius of Coldplay. Photo courtesyofAmazon.com review: Flobots M usicar f usion on y our s tereo BY ROSS LICHTMAN Pride Staff Writer BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer On televisions nationwide, the people can hear the perpetual sound of police sirens as "Grand Theft Auto IV" hit shelves April 29. Just in time to divert students during finals week, this offers addicting game play, similar to the previous titles in the series. Also similar to the previous games, the gamer plays as a criminal diving deep into the world of crime. GTAIV takes place in Liberty City, similar to New York City, and follows a character named Niko, a Serbian immigrant who is looking for success. His past as a soldier in the Bosnian War defines his actions as he is air unforgiving person who uses violence to climb the crime ladder. Though he cares about his cousin Roman, his true motivation is money. The objectives of the game are to steal cafs, avoid the police, and do nefarious deeds for money, much like the other games in the series. The first feature .that sets this, game apart is the depth of the map. The game is set on the islands of Liberty City, where the creators heightened the detail as compared to other games. The environment is much more interactive and more buildings are accessible, adding to the realism. Images courtesy ofgamedaily.com The game has a slightly cartoon look, but the graphics are smooth and it is a visual treat. Tactics are also a new part of the game, as the "rush-in, shoot 'em up" style will get the character killed. Players must use cover and the right weapon per situation to complete a mission. The game is available for Playstation 3, but it is oh the XBOX 360 where this game shines. Players can enjoy the numerous achievements to build their gamer score on XBOX Live. As well, there is a new multi-player element to the game. Online play can range from cooperative campaign play, racing through the city streets, to an all out urban brawl. This offers gamers more for their money. However, one could not address this game without a word of warning. GTA IV is an incredibly violent game and is not meant for children. Though young ones should not be playing M-Rated games such as Halg or Assassin's Creed anyway, this one is different because it is so realistically violent and contains strong adult themes including sex and drugs. Players should remember that it is just a game, and should contemplate if the lack of morals in the game makes it worthwhile. GTA IV is certainly a wellmade game and it has raised the bar for video game potential. Yet due to the content, players must think before they play. As I drove down the freeway, I listened to the radio and flipped through local rock stations trying to find anything worth listening to. I stopped on 91X because I heard the radio host saying that he was about to play new music. The song he played was called "Handlebars" by Flobots. As the song started all that was playing was a week plucking of a violin and a guy singing about how he can ride a bike without holding on the handlebars. The song didn't sound very promising, but I am very glad that I did not change the station. As the song went oh it exploded into a combination of a very impressive rap song combined with a rock feel to it. When it was over I literally sat in my car with goosebumps. I was instantly hooked. The second I got home, I looked up their album titled, "Fight With Tools," and listened to every track on iTunes. Each song hit me, and I realized that this would be the new album that I fall in love with. I instantly bought it and have not stopped playing it since. Flobots is made up of 7 very talented musicians: two emcees, base guitarists, a drummer, viola, and trumpet player. They doavery goodjob at combining the feel of a rock song with the steady flow of a hip-hop song. Throughout their album the soft horns and violins compliment their use'of steady heavy beats in the background. I am usually not into political music but pretty much every song talks about an important issue that takes place in our world. Their lyrics, which talk about such issues as 9/11, Katrina, or the war in Iraq, not only criticize these issues but also talk about positive things that can be done to improve our way of life. I was a little hesitant when I found out their album preached ' about some of these events because many times hip-hop artists can stray from the real meaning of these issues in their songs, but Flobots do no such thing. I believe the track "Handlebars" is the best overall track with its exceptional blend of eerie lyrics and massive back-' ground drums, guitar, and violin. Other great tracks on the album include "Same Thing," "Rise," and "Mayday!!!" Flobots' perfect blend of rock, hip-hop, and instrumental genius, makes this an album that you definitely need to check . out. v ^ �Tuesday; May 6, 2008 THE PRIDE By Tim Moore f Pride Stcgf Writer AIKEN by album sales, brings youtosfifthstudio release eek* off of their 1998 album "Stuà The dbum'sfirstsingle is the 6He track, *0n My Way Here. first children's' album.

Winners of the leadership awards were given a plaque to com­ memorate their achievement. ASI sponsored the event. According to Arti Patel, ASI executive vice president, “Every­ thing went perfectly.” The event began with a dinner followed by speeches from ASI President Dustin Naylor and University President Alexander Gonzalez prior to the distribu­ tion of awards. The American Indian Stu­ dent Alliance (AISA) recognized Rita Reynolds as “Member of the Year,” while the CSUSM MeCha organization chose Lorenza Lopez as “Mechista of the Year.” The Latin World Understanding Student Associ­ ation’s team player of the year award went to Martha Sarabia, who also received The Pride’ s “Editor of the Year” award during Friday night’s celebra­ tions. Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan recognized Margarita Preciado, and the CSUSM Victorious Club honored its advisor, Tim Bills, as “Member of the Year.” The clubs themselves pre­ sented the second group of awards.

The cost of the lecture was approximately $30,000. After a brief introduction from CSUSM president Alex­ ander Gonzalez, Safire, a self-proclaimed “Libertarian/ Republican . . . iconoclast,” covered everything from the Palestinian/Israeli conflict to National Security Advisor Com daleesa Rice’s chance at the vice-presidency to his close relationship with Israeli presi­ dent Ariel Sharon to the relative unimportance of global warm­ ing during his “What’s Going on in Washington” speech a speech he himself called a “harangue.” While some of his statements gained Safire audi­ ence approval, others provoked several attendees. “The guy’s a snake,” said PAN president. Erik Roper. “How could he pos­ sibly decide that no one’s con­ cerned with global warming? I’m dumbstruck.” Several audience members reacted with obvious distaste to Safire’s answer to an audience member’s question.

Williams placed a respectable second place in the 400-meter hurdle at the 74th annual Mount Sac Invitational in Walnut, California. Only the top 25 runners in the entire county are invited to race on the second day of (Sunday, April 21) this American classic. His mark of 52.5 was the fastest time of any sophomore that competed. “I didn’t do as well as I should have; it’s still a good time but not for me,” said Williams. There is not an athlete in history that has been absolutely immune to the threat of being hurt or injured. Unfortunately, the same can be said for track and field star Williams. Last Saturday at the UCSD Open Meet, Williams pulled a ham­ string, which has been hurting him for some time. “Its all part of the sport; I was running very fast and the weather was very cold,” Williams said. Williams trains at the San Marcos High School gym and is seeking assistance from a phys­ ical therapist off-campus to ice and perform ultrasounds treat­ ments on his pulled hamstring. “Just like the engine of a car that shows signs of needing to be fixed, my hamstring was showing signs, and then my engine finally blew out,” said Williams. Nevertheless, this has not stopped him from attending practice to give moral support to the rest of the team. “I have to remain positive and not going to quit even though I’m hurt.” Williams still plans to compete in the National Associ­ ation of Intercollegiate Athletics Nationals in Kansas at the end of May. “I have worked too hard to stop now,” Williams insists.

Sheath gave a presentation entitled “The Scum of the Earth: The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Algae” on Thursday as part of CSUSM’s Arts & Lectures series. “Since I studied algae, I became very interested in the subject and my main goal of the presentation was to allow others to take on the same inter­ est,” said Sheath. Many profes­ sors from CSUSM attended the lecture with an open mind to learn more about its uses and effects. Sheath is an esteemed psy­ chologist who obtained his Ph.D. in Botany at the Univer­ sity of Toronto in 1977. He has served as dean, professor and chair at numerous universities. Sheath received the Darbaker Prize from the Botanical Soci­ ety of America in 1997 and was nominated for the Teaching Excellence Award at the Uni­ versity of Rhode Island.

Stu­ dents who participated were free to write on anything historical, and papers that were selected for theTcompetition were presented at Loyola Marymount in a setup similar to a professional histori­ cal conference. “Except that it’s for students,” said Burgos. In his paper, “What to Do, Where to Go? Decisions for the White People of Santo Domingo After the Insurrection of the Blacks,” Eichperger delved into the aftermath of the revolutions against European colonizers in Santo Domingo (the former name of Haiti). “He showed how one group that had all this power and under­ went all these transitions dealt with losing power after the slaves revolted and gained power,” said Sepinwall. Eichperger had writ­ ten the paper in Sepinwall’s His­ tory 301 class last fall, in which students focused on relations between the U.S. and Haiti at the end of the 18th century. “Both papers were very well researched and well written, and they presented with a lot of poise,” said Sepinwall. “It was a great experience for us, and especially for those fieds SW IM INSTRUCTO RS $10 $16 per hour 760-744-7946 Fraternities ~ Sororities ~ C lubs ~ Sports Teams - Stu­ dent Groups E arn $1000 - $2000 w ith the easy Cam pus Fundraiser three hour fundraising event.

When asked to describe the type of music they play, Bill Swan, gui­ tarist, trumpet player and one of the singers of the band, said, “I would definitely classify us as rock n’ roll, but you’ll have to make up your own mind on the matter.” The band is definitely the Beatles of the 21st century, with its upbeat rhythms mixed with fun, sixties-like lyrics. But the intense guitar overlay, synthe­ sizer and the awesome trumpet action make it feel like a defi­ nite solid part of our generation hot to mention the hundred or so, bouneing, lively, twenty-some­ things that crowded the small dance floor. Despite the annoying feed­ back that occurred a few times during the show, the band gave a spectacular performance and kept everyone excited. When fin­ ished, the band was encored and played a few more songs, ending at close to two in the morning, a stan­ dard at t he REVIEW Casbah. When asked how the band started, Swan stated, “It was actually an accident. It was a side project that somehow worked.” The band slowly came together in the fall of 1997, but got off the floor in 1999. Beulah has toured the U.S., Europe and Canada and is on a coast-to-coast tour of the U.S. The tour, entitled “The Coast is Never Clear,” started in Denver, CO., sold out in L.A., and is ending on May 4 in its hometown of San Francisco. On April 16, Beulah made a guest appearance on The Conan O’Brien Show, a sign that they are quickly moving their way up. Beulah is a band that will definitely leave its mark on the music industry. CSUSM Play Performed at Vista Playhouse By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor “Dona Criba,”: a Cal State San Marcos school play, which premiered last December, was performed at Vista’s AVO Play­ house on Friday and Saturday. What started as a school play has now become a play for the community of the North County area, especially for the Spanish speaking community. Almost all of the actors and actresses in this play are CSUSM students who have formed a theater group called Dionysus. According to Carlos von Son, CSUSM professor of Spanish, the group decided to name the group after the Greek god, Dionysus, who was the god of theater. Besides stu­ dents whose first language is Spanish, this theater group also includes students whose first lan­ guage is English, as well as other languages. Actresses of two of the tnain characters expressed their enthu­ siasm at being part of this play. Lucinda Bernardino, a Liberal Studies and Spanish major, added, “We’re very happy to be in this play with Mr. Von Son.” Soledad Acuna, a Spanish major, said, “I feel very proud, some­ thing that makes me feel very important even though I don’t make anything financially. It is something that makes me feel proud; it’s going to be forever, for me, for my family, and for the rest of my descendants.” Although the students are not receiving any credit for doing this, many are happy to just be a part of it. Bernardino said, “It’s been a great experience ... None of us are getting any credi^for school, none of us have been forced to do it, we just do it have Spanish entertainment,” Bernardino said. Von Son also said, “With the large population of Spanish-speaking immigrants; it’s really a need for this type of event.” Due to the interest of stu­ dents in theater, von Son said, “We’re in the process of draft- A Scene from “ Dona Criba ” Pride Photo/Martha Sarabia because we like it a lot.” Acuna added, “We really enjoy it.” Von Son said, “I feel so proud of my students. They have done a beautiful job. They are volun­ teering their time and so much work and effort.” Both also said that they never thought that after performing “Dona Criba” for CSUSM they would perform it to the outside community. How­ ever, von Son was asked to bring this play to the community by Vista’s AVO Playhouse. “It’s also to contribute to our own people who don’t really Respected. ing a proposal needed to offer a Spanish theater minor. Hope­ fully, one day we can have a minor in theater in Spanish ... It would be aligned with the goals of the university, with our mis­ sion statement. It would be a cel­ ebration of diversity.” About 130 and 145 people went to see the play on Friday and Saturday respectively. Dona Criba, written by von Son, is about the impact of technology in a small town in Mexico, and how this affects the lives of its people. mm Innovative. w w m * II M I 11 I m i s MBE Compassionate.

Sulte 107 San Marcos, C A 92078 the Ralphs Shopping Center *':' �S top Com plaining and Look in the Mirror By Erik Roper For The Pride This past semester, the stu­ dents of Cal State San Marcos elected me to be ASI Corporate Secretary for next year. It was highly encouraging to know that out of the 6600+ students here at CSUSM, there were at least 633 who thought I’d do a good job. To those of you who voted, I say, “much respect, and thank you for supporting democracy (no doubt it was all those people.with flags on their cars down in the parking lot.”) But that’s not why I’m writ­ ing this piece. After the election, one of my colleagues, who also ran for office, told me something that made my jaw drop. Apparently, there were more than a few stu­ dents that had talked to this other prospective student leader during the campaigning period before the election, about me, and said that they didn’t want to see me elected because they felt I rep­ resented an undesirable element. An undesirable element that they felt there was already too much of around here and that they didn’t want to see more of on this campus. My colleague told me that some students who talked to him felt that I seemed too radi­ cally liberal, and they were also worried that my election might trigger a fundamental shift in the political climate of the student body. He said some students were saying (with obvious dismay in their voices) things like, “. . .next thing you know this place is going to be crazy and crawling with student activists, like Berke­ ley.” When I heard that, I had to laugh. Believe me; the last thing I would ever want is for CSUSM to turn into another Berkeley. Just think about how horrible that would be. Who wants to be surrounded by a bunch of socially conscious students dis­ satisfied with the status quo who passionately care about the world they live in and who actually do stuff to try and make it better? Not me, that’s for sure. No really, I’m serious, I think it’s so much better that we are on a campus that is the exact opposite. For me, there’s nothing more amus­ ing than to hear many o f my fellow students bitch and moan about how this place sucks so bad and then watch the vast majority of them do absolutely nothing to try and make it better. You know, lately the weather’s been kind of chilly, but that’s no prob­ lem because with all the hot air that blows out of many stu­ dents’ mouths, I can wear shorts and T-shirts 24-7. But actually, I shouldn’t be so hard on my fellow students because sometimes, just for kicks, I blow hot air myself. For instance, I recently sent an e-mail to the Inter-Club Council(ICC) list-serve in which I ripped on The Pride in brutal fashion saying, “(The Pride) was boring, lame, and worst of all, highly irrelevant.” This statement angered some people, especially in light of the fact that, at the time, I’d done absolutely nothing this semester to try and make The Pride better. Since then I’ve talked with one of the edi­ tors, become educated about the myriad of difficulties faced by publishing a student paper (one of the biggest problems being that they simply just need more quality student input), commit­ ted myself to submitting pieces to The Pride, and began urging those I know to do likewise. So, I guess you could say I’ve learned a lesson. The lesson being (how­ ever cliche) that action speaks louder (and is a helluva lot more effective) than words. A wise person once said, “Accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruit­ ful.” In other words, if you see something around CSUSM that’s wrong, stupid, inefficient, or just plain sucks, don’t just complain about it, DO SOMETHING. It seems that in our society (and especially here at CSUSM) a majority of us have bought into the notion that we are passive powerless victims who have to accept whatever THEY have in store for us, as if our lives were meant to be lived as nothing more than mindless, easily-manipu­ lated consumers who have no choice but to take whatever it is THEY’re shovelin’. Mindless Passive Powerless Easily-Manip­ ulated Victim Consumers - Is that how you see yourself? One of these days I’m going to make myself a t-shirt that says, “YOU ARE THEY.” I often hear fellow students (and I’ve been guilty of this myself) saying, “THEY should offer better food in the Dome.” or “THEY should provide us with more fun activities/events on campus.” or “THEY should make this place more colorful.” or “The Pride sucks; THEY should make it cooler.” or “THEY shouldn’t make our social security num­ bers be our student ID numbers.” or “THEY should ________ (fill in the blank).” Wow! THEY sure seem to have a lot of responsi­ bilities. Maybe the reason THEY weren’t able to attend to all these suggestions is because THEY were busy with all their other obligations. In the meantime, what were you doing? Yeah, I know the story; you’ve got a family, a job, your sanity to maintain, and somehow you still have to make time to get some of this school nonsense done. So, you ask, “When would I possibly have time to do some­ thing about these things I see that need changing?” I don’t know. That’s something you’re going to have to answer for yourself. What I can tell you is that you’re not powerless and you don’t have to settle for the status quo if you don’t want to. Another wise person said, “Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.” Think The Pride sucks? Start contributing to the publication. Think the food in the Dome sucks? Go talk to the manager Melanie and ask her what you have to do to get some changes rolling. Think there should be more cool events for students on campus? Go talk to the people in SRL and ASI and ask how you can help out (What do you REALLY think about the new logo THEY’re proposing to adopt without student input). Think CSUSM shouldn’t use your SSN as your student ID number? Go ask someone in the admissions office (right next to the rectangle of trees in Founders’ Plaza) for the form you have to fill out to get a new and improved, random, computer-generated student ID number, which should take you all of five minutes. Think smok­ ers shouldn’t smoke in the U-Hall stairwell? Go talk to facilities and ask if they’ll move the ashtrays and put up no smoking signs in the stairwell, and if they refuse you might consider getting a peti­ tion started or getting the sup­ port of the student health center. No one student can fix every­ thing that needs fixin’ here at CSUSM. There are a handful of students around here who try. But the sad truth of the matter is that we won’t accomplish much unless more students contribute. Every time you complain but don’t do anything to try and make whatever it is you’re complaining about better, not only are you not helping, but you’re actually part of the problem. If you want -to be even more honest with your­ self, you’ll realize that every time you say, “THEY suck . . with­ out any action, what you’re really saying is that, “I suck . . . ” because we all have the power to change the world we live in (especially here in the CSUSM microcosm). So, next time you feel like going off on one of those THEY this and THEY that rants, remember YOU ARE THEY. Inside The Mind of a Conservationist, Clarity While Surfing By Ray Hines For The Pride The environment has a finite amount to give to support life. The same water that I surfed in this morning could have been the water that Cleopatra bathed in centuries ago. I believe I am connected to all other things on Earth because I am made up of the same substances. Very few elements make up a living being, and the fact that we consider the living to have power oyer the non-living assumes that we are more important. That assump­ tion couldn’t be further from the truth. All living, or biotic, compo­ nents of this planet depend on the non-living, or abiotic, com­ ponents to provide vitamins and minerals to sustain life. I think of the wolves walking around in Northern Minnesota looking for a place to deliver their spring pups deserve the same right to a home as a Seattle e-commerce executive. I feel my role on this planet is to do as little harm as I can to my living counterparts and try to use as little of my non-living counterparts as le a n to ensure future generations the same necessities. I also feel that mankind is an important and exceptional creature. We have the capacity and intelligence to destroy and create. I think it is man’s job to figure out how to become self-sufficient and in this day of technology and organi­ zation, this ability is going to come through hardship and force. I have confidence that man can procure his own future, but he has to be willing to accept the responsibility and challenge of doing so. Living things can either defend themselves or they cannot. As it says in the Bible, “What you do to the least of your broth­ ers that you do unto me.” It is linked to the Native American belief, “Mother Earth, Sister Sky, Brother Eagle, and Father Moon.” Each of these things is considered whole and by giving them names, we have given them recognition. This relates to both relationships between people and relationships between things, I have studied a lot of science, and it even falls true in chemical reactions, there is always a factor that is limiting and that key factor decides the fate of the overall reaction. I take time to think of ways to behave in an environmentally friendly way. I carry a Vi liter water bottle and fill it as many as eight times a day. This assures me that I am drinking enough water as well as reducing eight cups worth of litter from the land­ fill or eight containers worth of recycling. I drink water because it is easiest for my body to digest. Also, it can be consumed with­ out much packaging, commer­ cials, or excessive transportation. I know it’s just water we’re talk­ ing about, but a lot of thought can go into such a simple thing. I try to buy nature-friendly, wellbuilt products (even if they cost a little more) to comply with the “reduce, reuse, recycle” strategy. Quality products last longer (or stay out of the landfill longer, however you look at it) and need to be replaced less. I have taken* several courses in the past few semesters that are related directly to environ­ mental studies. I have looked for­ ward to political science courses to help me (a biology student) understand how our government policies are formed. Also, I have taken voting very seriously since I turned 18. I try to research thoroughly before I vote. I have become a member of KPBS public radio and listen daily in an effort to stay in tune with what is going on politically in my world. I don’t really like the cur­ rent political system, but I under­ stand nothing is easy when a lot of people are involved and that allows me to have patience and hope for our future. I don’t watch television at home. I have a VCR that I use to watch videos and documenta­ ries I can get from the library on topics I am interested,in. I haven’t watched regular TV or cable for over 10 years on a reg­ ular basis. This has allowed me more time to be outside, enjoying the planet that I try to consider in my daily actions. It gives my friends and I time to enjoy each other and discover our many tal­ ents, namely playing music and sports. I think it is important to know that you are a special person and to recognize why you are that way. When it rains and runoff pollutes the ocean where I surf, it affects my whole person. When I hear about some environ­ mental catastrophe somewhere that too leaves me unsettled. I feel like we are all con­ nected, so a problem in one geographic location doesn’t just affect the people there, it affects everybody. I, too, affect the envi­ ronment with everything I do. I breathe out carbon dioxide. I eat of the biomass that makes up resources for other, more effi­ cient animals. I am a poor heat conserver. I have to eat from a higher tropic level to gain energy to keep myself warm. I drive a car like everyone else, and our exhaust emits tons of pollutants into the air. I demand light when it’s dark outside, burning coal for my electricity. I buy things that come in non-renewable, nondegradable packaging because they “just come that way.” I flush my self-generated waste down the toilet and off to some energy intensive treatment plant before it ends up in the very water I am swimming in. I can’t think of very many things I do that don’t affect the environment, except perhaps sitting in a quiet place and enjoying it. I traded my gas guzzling, machine-oriented sports in for nature friendly ones. I used to dirt bike, water-ski, snowmobile, street bike, and those sorts of things, but now I cross-country ski, snowboard, bicycle, kayak, windsurf, sail, and surf for excite­ ment. I also teach adults to sail and windsurf. In my lectures, I point out the environmental ben­ efits of them choosing a winddriven sport for their recreation. I encourage them to turn other people on to the sport and request that they all complete a Cal Boat­ ing test. This test is actually a way of sending a message to Sac­ ramento that people in Southern California are concerned about their safety and the condition of their bays and waterways. Each time a test is sent to the capitol, to the Department of Boating and Waterways, it says one more person is concerned. I feel that these small changes in myself and the way that my position as a teacher can influence people’s decisions has helped to better the environment in some small way.

You can help yourself, the environment, and me. You can save energy, produce money, and reduce the trash that is dumped into our landfills. Your con­ science has been nagging you: “Environment, environment, I know there’s some kind of crisis. What can I do?” Start here, where you eat. Here are a few suggestions: How many napkins do you need? A big pile or one? When you take a pile, they fall on the floor and then are disposed of, unused. Also, in the Dome’s out­ side area, the wind blows the unused napkins all over, making an unsightly mess - not a fun place for you and your guests to dine. What a waste of money and of the trees that the napkins are made from. What can you do? Take ONE napkin. Yes, you can recycle, right here. We are fortunate that Cal State San Marcos has placed recycling containers inside and outside the Dome, within easy reach.

Before cooking, put something on top of the food, like that one napkin you are going to use later. Did I say leave the food tightly enclosed in its original wrapper or container? No, you need to open it and then cover it, that is unless you’re enrolled in “Explo­ sions 101.” HA VE A N OPINION?

I have read many articles in The North County Times about Cal State San Marcos’ high-up people dis­ criminating against other lower staff members. It saddens me, and makes me ashamed to go to this school. This school has a great mission statement and pushes all students to be accept­ ing, tolerant, and open-minded. I wonder if the chancellor and the administration believe in the mission statement and act accordingly. I have also noticed that To the Editors: *Editor’s Note* This is a response to a letter in last week’s Pride. Excuse me, I do go to a real university; Cal State San Marcos is a real university. For ydur information, CSUSM is a step above junior college. Many stu­ dents go to Mira Costa or Palomar junior college in order to transfer to a four-year univer­ sity, like CSUSM. Some will go to UCSD or UCLA, and many will come to CSUSM. You don’t have to question our intellect; if he takes Saturday off, he has to take Sunday off as well. That’s a whole week of his pay lost because the school doesn’t know how to schedule its finals properly. When looking at a classes to take, I would think the final would be sometime around when that class meets, or at least the days that class is scheduled during the semester. What were CSUSM MOST, ’not all, of the admin/ staff/and faculty here at CSUSM do not have the students’ best interest in mind. They are not helpful, not courteous, and give wrong information. CSUSM is unlike other more established schools because our school has very few good or useful depart­ ments to help students succeed and have a good college experi­ ence. Can I contact anyone about how I feel? Will my opinion make a difference? Or do these people pay little attention to the students? Jessica Bliss - Student it sounds like a personal issue. Maybe you, like your pompous family and friends, should go somewhere else. And I enjoyed reading tfye writer’s article. It is good to find something happy to read about in the paper. Not all of us are preoccupied with the bad. So to the author of “Spring Break Packs Action in Rosarito,” keep writing those fun stories; some us do enjoy them. And, if I ever read something I don’t like, I won’t read it again. Katie A. - Student class schedulers thinking when they did this? What about the professors; how come they aren’t making any noise about having to come in on Saturday? The professors may just send in a TA to give us the final and be relax­ ing at home, or maybe they are just unaware of this as I found many students to be. Noah Smith - Student To The Editors: I have a possible solution to the recent debate over cig­ arette smoke. Place Breath-alizers, similar to the ones used to detect alcohol, in front of classrooms to check people’s nicotine level. Cigarette packs could include specially treated little straws that people could use to blow into the tester. The results would appear on a scale of 1 to 3: one cough - proceed to class, two coughs - retest, and at non-stop coughing - he or she would have to proceed to a referee station consisting of a cage of pigeons. If the offend­ ing party cannot recite his or her A, B, C’s without making the little guys gag, he or she would be in violation. In keep­ ing with the school’s writing requirement, I suggest having them write an essay titled, “Smoke, Choke, and Croak” or something to that effect.

You don’t do to Muslim-Americans what we did to Japanese Americans in World War II.” Sapphire then followed this statement by jokingly stat­ ing, “You don’t racially profile, of course, unless someone with a beard and turban happens to be standing near you at an airport.” Safire had begun his lecture with less incendiary topics, dis­ cussing his history as a lexicog­ rapher and his 20-year stint as a Times columnist, relating per­ sonal anecdotes about his rela­ tionships with Barbara Walters, President Bush, Rice, Sharon and Powell. He then spent a good part of his lecture ruminating about the state of the nation and the Middle East after September 11. “What’s developing now is the president deciding that he’s got to do some­ thing to work with the Saudis and get them to moderate Arafat, as he would moderate Sharon.

ASI gave its “Board Member of the Year” award to Corporate Secretary Tammy Rodriguez. The “Best New or Revived Student Organization” award went to the Pan African Student Alli­ ance, the “Outstanding Collabora­ tive Event” award was presented for the “Cougar Club Mixer,” sponsored by Sigma Iota Epsilon, Alpha Chi Omega, Priority, Latin World USA, and the Accounting Society. The “Best Program of the Year” designation was given for the 9th Annual CSUSM Pow Wow, sponsored by AISA and the “Most Outstanding Student Orga­ nization 2002” was presented to the Alpha Xi Delta Sorority. Sharon is being made out to look like a monster,” Safire said, “but he’s trying to make a deal. Most Americans say, well, if someone attacks you, you attack back. The same goes for Israel. The general feeling is that the Palestinians are under attack by Israel, but that’s only what we see here.” An audience member asked Safire if the public’will support placing troops without a “real” declaration of war. Safire said, “[Declarations of war] are appar­ TWIN V m i m Ik ently out. There hasn’t been one since World War II. I ’m with you - we should ask for a declaration of war before going into Iraq to do what we did in Germany and Japan - to introduce democracy to Iraq. Who knows what might happen?” In addition to discussing the ongoing tension in the Middle East, Safire openly acknowledged the need to attend to domestic policy as well. “Who knew his [Bush’s] presidency would be a foreign-policy presidency?” he said. “We have a president who came in relatively uninformed about foreign policy. [Bush] is a president who’s becoming inun­ dated with info from his capital. The best thing is that he has not resented that he is being coun­ seled by people smarter than he is.” William Safire’s column appears regularly in the op/ed pages of the New York Times. ■ Guaranteed Auto Service ProfessionaiTechnicians Tune-up & Brakes Full Service Car Care!

By Tina Leary Pride Staff Writer Four Cal State San Marcos students took first place last month in a regional mock United Nations competition in Buena Park, Calif. The four—Jeff Burleson, Flo Williams, Candice Kordis and Merrill Tyler—all political science or social science majors—represented Cambodia at the Western Model United Nations competition. They were awarded Outstanding Delegation honors. A second CSUSM team representing Vietnam— Teanna Brand, Paul Coridie, Steven Jester and Travis Lodahl—received recognition f or performing admirablyand professionally. CSUSM political science professor Kent Bolton and Carol Vanderwoude, who participated in the competition for the university last year, advised the eight delegates in areliamentary procedures and assisted them in learnbing the backgrounds of their respective countries. Subjects in the competition— which featured nearly 30 universities, including UCLA, UC-Davis and Washington State—dealt with East Timor, Southeast Turkey, illegal drugs, land mines, trade and ballistic missile technology. Three of the CSUSM delegates, lyier, Kordis and Lodahl, were chosen to return and participate in next year's competition. EARN UP TO 15 UNITS THIS SUMMER SDSU S UMMER 97 SESSIONS .

Complications and demands create sheer panic in an already hectic world. So where's peace, tranquillity and timefor-me hiding? Better be close because, I, f or one, d on't have time to drive for hours, nor do I have extra money for gas, entrance fees or parking. One place that fits the above criteria is D^ley Ranch i nEscondido. It offers an opportunity to shed the institutional environment with its harsh fluorescent lights, recycled air and distractions. Forget computers, air-conditioning and deadlines. Relax for just an hour with nature to inspire the spirit and kickstart the creative flow.

On Saturday April 26, six Cal State San Marcos students had the opportunity to do just that as they tried out for the nationally televised Wheel of Fortune show. The process is not as simple as one might think. Only one CSUSM student went on to the final round. Approximately sixty students entered the conference room at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in San Diego at J ! am. Only fifteen students were left for consideration at 1:30 pm. This was only the first set of contestants. The next group arrived at 3 pm, leaving with same outcome. Students received encouraging words from Pat Sajak and Vanna White via video tape. They suggested, "Be decisive in choice of letters, d on't forget vowels, have a good time, and be yourself — it is only a game." One of the contestant coordinators advised, "stay away from long phrasing." He also said they should "Find a good balance between spinning the wheel and calling vowels." The goal is to keep the game moving along. Students first played a mock game as a group. They were able to spin, buy a vowel, or solve the puzzle. Cal State student, Mark Logan, solved the event, "hitting the snooze button." He followed up his performance with a back flip in front of the room. Contestants then had to take a test. They were given a short time to fill in as many puzzles as possible. During the entire process contestant coordinators, and producers took notes and evaluated each individual. They took all information f rom the previous few hours and chose the fifteen people who would move on to the next round. Those who did not make it were dismissed. The top fifteen were then interviewed in front of the group. They also Photo by Chrissy Wright/ The Pride Cal State San Marcos student Mark Logan was one of fifteen finalists atWheel of Fortune's San Diego audition April 26. Logan advanced as one of 15 finalists, but was not chosen to go on the taping. played another, more~realistic, mock round of "Wheel of Fortune." At the end, nobody knew who would make it through the final cut. Individuals only knew that every move they made and word they spoke was carefully scrutinized. Mark Logan, who left that day knowing only that he had made it into the top fifteen students, found out Monday that he was not selected to appear on Wheel of Fortune. Several students from San Diego State University were chosen, however. College week, which is scheduled to air in early May, will include eight San Diego students and four students from all over the rest of the country. the number somewhere, and have something just spit out a measurement we're familiar with, like pounds, miles and Fahrenheit. Well, at "The Measurements Converter Page," located at http://www.mplik.ru/~sg/ transl/length.html you can do all this, and much, much more. Not only can you convert some strange distance like meters (that is, if you're an American), into feet, but you can literally plug in a number, say 1 meter, andfindthe equivalent distance in fathoms, leagues, parsees, light years, light minutes, picas, vershoks, sea sazhens and versts, to name but a few. If you want to know how many seconds are in a century, simply type in the number 1 in the centuryfield,and in less than a quarter of a second you are given the equivalent in seconds, minutes, hours, days, we$ks, lu- nar months and years. The page has nine measurements available for conversion: Weight, capacity and volume, length, area, speed, pressure, ten& perature, circular measure and time. And, believe me, you could spend hours at this site just plugging in numbers. For instance, I now know that I am exactly 1 fathom, 0.00909090 furlongs, 4.572 ells, 2.5714286 arshins and 0.00000000001222350404442383 astronomical units tall. I also know that, on the freeway, I travel at an average of0.0000001 the speed of light. If you have a hankering for enlightenment or just a cool place to waste your valuable time, this is the place to be. And, even if you could care less that 30 degrees equals .5235987711485907 radians, you might have a trig teacher who thinks otherwise. Measurement site is down-right useful W e b S tuFF Y our C yber G uide If you believe in the adage that form must always follow function, you might want to give "The Measurements Converter Page" site a spin. In fact, you'll be glad you did. Because what it lacks in aesthetic pleasantries and gizmos, it more than makes up for in practicality and down-right usefulness. How many times have you been confronted with some strange measurement that for some reason you weren't able to convert?

Playing politics is not the way to unite this campus. Extremist speakers such as Wise and Buchanan, do not promote unity. They push people to extremes. Those who share their views sit and cheer. Others go home. If unity is truly to be promoted, moderation is the key. Not excluding extremism. This campus' community needs to ask itself what it truly desires — a unified body, or one separated by politics. One thing is for certain: Inviting far right or far left speakers is not the way to be inclusive. Diversity is important, of course. But let us not forget that we are a unified body.

Once again there seems to be a double standard on this campus when it comes to offensive and racist remarks. Apparently the campus "climate" will tolerate targeting particular groups turning a blind eye to printed materials at CSUSM that should be called into question. How is it okay to assume that anyone not ascribing to what one group has determined to be right should be considered a "Redneck"? In a recent "Pen and Sword" publication, "California Girl" stated she d idn't want o ur c ampus to turn i nto "Redneck U". What does that mean? Everyone f rom t he S outh i s a Redneck? P eople that d on't agree with her are "Rednecks"? Cowboys, farmers and the Midwestern working class are "Rednecks" so they obviously are racist? I don't get it. Why is it OK to generalize and stereotype crediting particular beliefs and actions to a segment of society? Isn't that what we're trying to get away from? California Girl has pre-judged a laige group of people based on negative off-color and off-hand remarks she has obviously heard and believes herself. Wait a minute! Aren't those the actions of a racist? If Pen and Sword is dedicated to fighting the injtfstice ^ d unfmr- * ness of racism, then perhaps they should look to their own first and understand that you can't selectively discriminate: it's all or none. The same can be said for an article in "Guts", the publication producted by the Literary Society. A male writer has determined that if you wish to park in the upper parking lot and circle waiting for an available spot, you obviously need "to use the treadmill most of all." He doesn't take into consideration women walking alone at night to their cars, students with heavy books and materials, pregnant women, etc. Apparently according to this author, if you do not fit his predetermined physical standards, then you better get yourself to a stairmaster and become his idealized version of attractive and therefore worthy of a closer parking spot. We are not all identical physically and thankfully so. Why should those who are not California anorexic be subject to scorn and derision? Again, someone has attempted to attach negative connotations to a particular segment of society and doesn't see the similarity in judging someone by looks alone — as is typical in a racist. While these types of derogatory remarks aren't as widespread as others, it doesn't mean they should be ignored. Prejudging someone through stereotypes, generalities and bias is still unfair, unjust and uncalled for, especially within an educational atmosphere such as that at CSUSM. Perhaps we need to be reminded that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. We all need to play nice and be nice to everyone.

T H E PRIDE SERVING C AL STATE S AN M ARCOS SINCE 1993 �ENTERTAINMENT The Pmde, Thursday, May 8, 1997 'Breakdown' is good action, suspense By Jennifer Talak Pride Staff Writer If you like movies that keep you on the edge of your seat, gripping the armrest, holding your breath, then see "Breakdown," staring Kurt Russell. This is one of his best action films. Moving from Boston to San Diego, he and his wife run into some bad luck when they encounter car trouble in the middle of Beautiful, Nowhere, Utah. . While they are standing there contemplating the empty vastness around them, wondering what to do next, the music begins to sound a little like Jaws and you find yourself tensely waiting for what's to come - and you know it isn't going to be good. This scene is a good beginning and sets you up for the anxiety awaiting you the rest of the movie. Russell plays Jeff Taylor, a rather mild-mannered Bostonian who turns into a madman in an attempt to find his wife, who seems to have disappeared without a trace. J.T. Walsh plays the villain and looks the part, dressed all in black, black mustache, almost like something out of the silent mov- ies. He looks and plays his role to perfection. Although the story is not new, "Breakdown" is dressed up enough to meet audiences's expectations of non-stop action with Russell delivering as good as he did in "Backdraft" and "Escape from L.A." In "Escape from L.A." he plays the action hero, the unwavering tough guy, but in "Breakdown" we see the softer side, the everyday man sort of guy who learns to survive while fighting the bad guys on their own turf. Russell says this was a much more complex role, having to act vulnerable and not too competent and, at the same time, be an action hero. Having to do a lot of his own close-up stunts for this movie, Russell portrays a very realistic look of fear in some of the more tension-filled sequences, prompting audible sighs from the audience at many points. "Breakdown" is rated R. Released by Paramount Pictures. Directed by Jonathan Mostow. Staring: Kurt Russell, J.T. Walsh and Kathleen Quinlan. Music Composer: Basil Poledouris. Pennywise dedicates album to late bassist By Jill Cook Pride Staff Writer Pennywise dedicated its new album 'Full Circle1 to the band's late bass player, who took his life last year. MAKE A GAME PLAN Punk band Pennywise speaks the words of Abraham Lincoln.

V This quote by Lincoln e ncompasses the d epth of v alue the band m embers p lace on f riendship as t he sole d iagnosis f or a worthwhile e xistence. It a lso a ccounts f or t he inspiration of every breath and pitch that the m usicians e xude in Full Circle. Unfortunately, the q uote a lso r eveals the t empestuous and o verbearing sorrow the band m embers e ncapsulate f rom the loss of a d ear f riend. P ennywise bassist Jason Matthew Thirsk committed suicide last year, and the band lost much more than a bassist. The everlasting image and memory of Thirsk d ominates t he " Full C ircle," which was dedicated t o t he d early b eloved band member. T he m otivation behind the making of Full Circle proved to p roduce a p owerful compilation of elegy-like songs that inspire rather than depress. " Bro H ymn", a previous Penny wise song off of their f irst album, was a tribute to three other brother-like f riends of the b and that also lost their lives at young ages . This same s ong was rewritten and re-released in Full Circle as a tribute t o this time, Jason Thirsk. The song starts with, " to our best f riend—present, past and beyond; even though you w eren't with us t oo long, your l ife is the most precious thing we could lose. While you were here f un was never ending, laugh a m inute o nly t he b eginning... J ason my b rother M atthew T hirsk—this o ne's f or y ou." T he song glides into a c horus of male voices h umming in sync t o a tune that ignites a fire inside everyone who hears it. At the same time as being tragic, the song catalyzes a reaction of f ervent elation f or the g ift of brotherhood itself and f or the f ervent and accessible m emories associated with loved ones. T he new " Bro H ymn" c ontinues like the other with verses like: "if y ou're e ver in a t ough s ituation, w e'll b e t here w ith n o h e s i t a t i o n brotherhood's our rule we cannot b end." P ennywise c onfronts death in several other songs in Full Circle, f or instance the song " Date With D estiny" that s ays: "in a fall f rom a burning tower what would you do with j ust one more hour? Live that hour every day, like it was y our last. Y ou'll live much better that way." The central themes of this album would be to a ppreciate the true bond of f riendship in l ife, and to live l ife u nreservedly in f ull measure. With these f orces of inspiration as the drive f or this album, it is an inevitable success that will surpass few scrutinizing eyes without approval. -Music Review- FOR T AKE A S EMESTER-LENGTH Q L&SS I N ONLY SIX OR E IGHT W EEKS Most courses are transferable. Jeff Taylor (Kurt Russel) and his wife talk in front of their brokendown car in 'Breakdown.' =31 �The Pmde, Thrnsday, May 8, 1997 Repetitiveness sucks life from Live's latest By S taffer's N ame Pride S taff W riter Everybody's here... puke stinks like beer," sings Edward Kowalczyk ofthe band Live in their new album "Secret SairiadhL" It's not much of a secret now that tfiis album's hit single "Lakini's Juice" can be heard consistently on MTV and radio stations. Will this single carry the album to further glory like that of Live's previous album Throwing Copper? Only if Secret Samadhi's somber tone can sustain the acuity still clenched to the astounding performance of the last album. Secret Samadhi seems to lack the spirited vivacity of the last album. Although Throwing Copper projected a deep melancholy nature in some of the songs as well, its songs seemed to carry more soul and sensuality than the new songs. Live communicates quite differently through their music than many other comparable bands. They create a more intellectual, sub-textual variety of lyrics that is drawn out in an exclusively poetic fashion. The words reflect lyric poetry in the way that they portray irresponsibility in the face of societal reality. Live's lyrics seem driven solely by emotion and the subconscious. Instead of belting out the shortcomings of the world, Live emphasizes the beauty of language and the abstract. The song "Heropsychodreamer" says, "the subculture of my dreams is waiting for me to fall asleep...I know y ou're scared, you should be; hero, dreamer. This attic of my mind, these Do Y o u H a v e W h a t i t t a k e s ? WE WANT YOU! feelings I can't hide... I can't share. I feel alone, ah yeah. The subconscious keeps me here, I fell in love with a balladeer. I saw your tongue, it licked my hpart. They called you queer." This song perfectly exemplifies Secret Samadhi's poetic and introspective manner. The music matches this form with its mirthless and melancholic tone. Repetition of phrases and whole verses is also characteristic of Secret Samadhi. In "Lakini's Juice" Kowalczyk repeats "let me ride" several times and in "Graze" he starts each verse with "people should not be afraid." This type of amphora mingled with the tristful bleakness of melody and poetic verse makes the album considerably languid and lifeless. However, with the hit single already in flight, the album's pathway either to success or failure is yet undiscovered. =BAKERT Call businesses t o l ocate surplus e quipment.

Cinco de M ayo Celebration Held on C ampus M ay 2 nd By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Staff Writer For the third year in a row, Cal State San Marcos celebrated Cinco de Mayo. The event, however, was celebrated,on May 2 in collaboration with Associated Students Inc., MEChA, Assistant Dean of Students Tim Bills, and Ballet Folkl6rico Mixtlan. "Since Cinco de Mayo was on a Saturday, we decided to have the event on Wednesday so that it would attract more students," said Yesenia Balcazar, current dance instructor for Ballet Folklorico. The event attracted approximately 80 students, faculty and staff. "It was a very colorful, beautiful representation of the culture," said senior Mary Bernard. The program included singing by El Chute, Balcazar's dad, and her sister, Norma Balcazar. "I have been singing professionally for five years," said Mario Balacazar, El Chute. "I introduced my daughters to this environment when they were little. Now I am very happy to see them perform." Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan, a dance troupe, performed dances such as La Bruja, La Bamba from Veracruz, and the well known Jarabe Tapatio, el Sol de la Negra and Los Machetes. B a 11e t Folk6rico Mixtlan is made up of nine members; half of them are Cal State San Marcos students and the other half from the community. A main speaker for the event was Ricardo Favela, president of MEChA. He told his personal story of how his parents bought a mariachi suit for him when he was in elementary school. "When Cinco de Mayo came around they told me to put on the mariachi suit." He was expected to wear it to school and was the only one of his classmates who celebrated the day at his school. "I was very ashamed that I was the only one . .. but today I stand here very proud to celebrate Cinco de Mayo," said Favela. Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's independence day, which is celebrated on September 16. "Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of a battle in which the French army was attempting to invade Mexico/It's a day in which Mexicanos united and organized to defeat the most powerful, foreign enemy. This is why it's such a significant date for Mexico and for our people," said Favela. "It is a very important event to remember, being that we are so close to Mexico. We need to appreciate the significance that it has to the Mexican community," said junior Angela Magana. "It is also a good way to preserve culture." Sophomore Ana Gabriela added, "I was glad that they clarified why we acknowledged Cinco de Mayo. Furthermore it is also a great cultural experience for our campus, it shows the awareness of the struggle of the Mexican people." Students celebrated "It takes time to prepare such Cinco de Mayo an event as Cinco de Mayo, but last week with since it is celebrated in May, it dancing, singing gives us more time to prepare for and speeches by it, as opposed to Mexico's indetheir fellow pendence, which is on September students. 16.

(Pride Photos/ Victoria Segall) ' �The Pride Tuesday, May 8 ,20013 CSUSM Welcomes New Director of Registration & Records By MARCY RIVERA Pride Staff Writer inei nermai energy storage tank (TES) is the newest addition to Cal State San Marcos, The tank holds chilled water that will be used by air conditioning units on campus. (Pride Photo/Nathan Fields) New Water Tank Saves Energy By CLAY BABER Pride Staff Writer While walking to your car, you may have noticed the new water tank being constructed near the parking lot. According to Russell Decker, CSUSM's Director of Planning Design and Construction, the tank is called a "Thermal Energy Storage or TES tank." This TES tank is designed to hold a large capacity of chilled water that will be used by the air conditioning units on campus. The construction of the TES tank is in response to the current energy crisis in California. "The tank adds capacity to our cooling system; therefore, we do not have to r^n our chillers during the day when electricity is most costly," said Decker. According to Dave Dennis, Assistant Director of Planning, Design and Construction, "once the tank is completed, over one million gallons of chilled water can be stored." This water is chilled at night when the electricity rates are lower, thus providing an alternative to the current process of operating the chillers during the day. "CSUSM has received $875,000 dollars from San Diego Gas & Electric to offset the $2 million dollar construction costs for the TES tank," said Decker. This grant is provided because CSUSM is taking steps to reduce the demand for energy during the peak mid-day hours. According to Decker, "the remaining con- struction costs will quickly be made up in saved energy costs." Decker also added, "The stored water could also be useful in the event of an emergency such as an earthquake or fire." "Construction was initially scheduled for earlier this year," explained Dennis, "but the heavy rains delayed everything for about two months." Chicago Bridge and Iron, of Clairemont, began construction of the 80by 40-foot tank three weeks ago. Foreman Paul Tackett said that the structural work should be completed within a week. According to Dennis, additional work such as insulation, piping and painting the TES tank pushed the projected completion date into early August. Enthusiasm, energy, and a customer-service background are key traits that Martha Ann Haney brings to her new job as Director of Registration and Records. One of the main goals in her position, Haney said, is to serve the students. "The school is growing so fast and has some wonderful goals," said Haney about her impression of the university. Haney added, "I'm so excited to be a part of it." She said her transition to CSUSM, which began May 1, has been incredibly smooth since everyone has been very helpful towards her.

Last month, a morning storm brought hail and rain out to the SpringFest, originally scheduled for April 21. Last minute cancellations hurt ASFs budget for the festival. "Trying to be prepared, we had [the] Facilities [department] set up everything the night before. We had a huge stage, a canopy and all the bathrooms set up already," said Brad Schmidt, ASI's club services technician. When rain struck, CSUSM facilities staff and ASI members scrambled to bring the valuable sound equipment indoors, Although the total bill for rentals and labor has not yet come in, Schmidt said, "It was a pretty good hit." With a little adjustment, including a smaller stage setup, ASI was able to reschedule the event, keeping the original line-up of events nearly intact, "We are working with student funds, so we try to be as thrifty as possible," Schmidt said. One feature, the Battle of the Bands, had to be rescheduled for May 21 because many of the performers were unavailable on Saturday, Probably the most anticipated attraction was the Caribbean Carnival. The Trinidad-style carnival reenactment was researched, produced and performed by Professor Loni Berry's theater arts class. Groups of students wore elaborate costumes and danced and competed for best carnival band. Kings and queens also competed, with winners chosen based on costume and performance.

Professor Anibal YanezChavez introduced the presentation, explaining that the Chiapas Media Project "is a bi-national, US-Mexico partnership that provides video equipment, computers and training, enabling indigenous communities in southern Mexico to create their own media and tell their stories from their own perspective." Before and after the showing of the three films, "Sacred Land," "Silence of the Zapatistas" and "Defending the Forests," Halkin ' and Vazquez spoke on the work of the media project that began in 1998. The films document, respectively, the plight of the landless indigenous farmers in Chiapas, the Zapatista's negotiations with the Mexican government, and deforestation in the state of Guerrero by transnational corporations dating back to the 1950s. Halkin, a native of Chicago who has a background as a video producer, said, "We did not create these films. These films came directly from the indigenous communities. We only provided them the equipment and taught them how to express themselves through it." She explained that the idea for the project first occurred to her when working on a documentary in Chiapas in 1995. Finding herself working repeatedly in areas with hundreds of news camera crews, she noted that she "could see that the indigenous people were very conscious that their images were being recorded and taken away." "I realized that this has been the most documented indigenous movement in the history of the world," said Halkin, "and it amazed me to think that these people had no, access to the necessary equipment to tell their own stories. And they need to tell their own stories because we cannot just depend on white people to go down and represent these indigenous communities accurately." Halkin began speaking with numerous groups and organizations, including the US-Mexico Fund for Culture, that supported her first efforts for indigenous self-representation in a 1998 media project involving youth from Chicago, Mexico City and Oaxaca. The project documented 14 days within the community of On May 3, students gathered in ACD 102 to watch a film presentation by the Chiapas Media Project. (Pride Photo/Nathan Fields) Morelia, Chiapas. "The capacity to produce videos in Morelia empowered the indigenous community to present their own view of themselves both nationally and internationally," said Halkin. Vazquez, a native of Mexico City, met Halkin during the 1998 Chiapas Media Youth Project and moved to Chiapas two years ago. He explained how the process of making the films begins and ends within the communities' governing assemblies and mirrors the highly democratic forms of consensus governing that Zapatista communities are respected for. Subject matter for the films is generated within the assemblies and the finished films are offered to the communities for review and possible alteration before they are distributed or shown publicly. Singleton Bridget Jones Decides to Take a Turn at Living Life By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor I rarely get the chance to rave about a f ilm, primarily because most films nowadays are just mediocre. One thing is for certain: "Bridget Jones's Diary" is splendid. From a fantastic script, to impressive actors, this film easily could have turned into another mushy romance, but escapes mediocrity because of the brilliant wit that exudes from all of the characters. What one might notice first abut . this spectacular film is Renee Zellweger's stunning performance as Bridget Jones. She not only pulls off a convincing British accent, something that other Americans (such as Kevin Costner) fail at miserably, but also her character is not perfect. Bridget Jones smokes too much, drinks too much and babbles incoherently under pressure; yet, Zellweger charms not only the audience but also, two very attractive bachelors, played by Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. What is refreshing about Grant's character, Daniel Cleaver, is that he is a jerk. Women always fall in love with Grant's characters because he always plays a sweet, lovable man. In "Four Weddings and a Funeral," he played a commitment-phobic man but managed to make the audience love him for i t In a reversal of emotion, in "Bridget Jones's Diary" we easily resist Grant's charms knowing that he not only shies away from commitment but also hurts our beloved Bridget Jones. Then there is Darcy, played by Firth. Not unlike the hard-tolove Mr. Darcy of "Pride and Prejudice," Mark Darcy is a brooding, quiet man. The first time I saw the film, I almost wished that Cleaver would become a nicer guy and get the girl because Darcy just seemed too much of a prude. The second time I saw the film, however, I began to fall in love with Darcy's soft-spoken eloquence and kind generosity that he showers onto Bridget Jones. Jim Broadbent plays the sad sack dad of Bridget, and is soon to star in the upcoming film "Moulin Rouge." Between Broadbent and Gemma Jones (Jones's mother) it becomes apparent why Bridget is so odd yet wonderful. Both Broadbent and Jones breathe new life into what easily could have turned into a generic storyline. Her parents, being Bridget's role model for relationships, are frightening at first, but then when they are able to work their own problems out, it becomes clear that, at least in this film, love wins. The group* including Tim Bevan that produced "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Notting Hill," also produced "Bridget Jones's Diary." When I first heard that, I almost turned away from watching this film because I could not handle another perfect romance with Hugh Grant as the gorgeous dream man who elegantly stumbles over his words. Luckily, this film shies away from the romantic comedy norm and embraces its own feminist style while being a unique version of "Pride and Prejudice." According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), "aside from bearing a resemblance to Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice,' the film also features a number of veterans of Austen film adaptations." Screenwriter Andrew Davies also, wrote the screenplay for the 1995 film "Pride and Prejudice." Hugh Grant and Gemma Jones both appeared in "Sense and Sensibility." Colin Firth, who plays Mark Darcy, played Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice." Also according to IMDB, in the film "Daniel Cleaver (Grant) and Bridget Jones (Zellweger) work for Pemberley Press. Pemberley is the name of Fitzwilliam Darcy's estate in "Pride and Prejudice." Helen Fielding, executive producer and co-writer of the screenplay, also wrote the original novel about a 32-year-old woman who discovers that being herself—is the true path to romance. Vazquez continued by saying that, "These people have to work as farmers during the day and fit time in to create films after their crops are tended to. For this reason, we end up with a self-representation which is really authentic and very unique." Vazquez explained that the media project was crucial because "the way in which the mainstream media is presenting the lives of these people is full of misunderstandings and lack of information. This is because the corporate media is not interested in what is really happening; they are interested in profit. That's why it's important for the indigenous to be able to tell their own stories, and for us to make an equal effort in reaching audiences. Otherwise their efforts would be useless." "It is our duty to help get this technology and training to these people specifically because they are unrepresented," said Halkin. "In order to have real democracy and discussion in this world, everyone has to have access to this technology. We should all be represented and be on a level playing field," she continued. The project remains financially challenged explained Halkin, who passed around a donation bag at the presentation and displayed videos, indigenous handicrafts and clothing for sale. "I mean, no foundation will give me funding to give cameras to Zapatistas." Since 1998, Halkin reports that the Chiapas Media Project has provided countless hours of training, 50 digital video cameras, three VHS linear editing systems and a fully-outfitted media center in San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas to the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The presentation of the Chiapas Media Project and their films was sponsored by CSUSM's Center for Border and Regional Affairs and was made possible in part by the university's Global Affairs Committee and the Visual and Performing Arts Department. X ! f f i f e m i t o lott MyWpte ^ m W f t f m e t f w /K / S t t What is wonderful about films is how you can relate to the main character. As a single woman, this film refreshes my spirit because Bridget Jones is a regular person. Unlike the perfect archetypal female in most romantic comedies, she screws up a lot. This gives me hope that I too can find someone like Darcy who, after reading in Bridget's diary that she hates him, goes out and buys her a new diary to start their relationship over. "Bridget Jones's Diary" is playing now in theaters and is rated R by the MPAA for language and some strong sexuality. t h e Web Site Films rarely come out these days without some package deal. "Bridget Jones's Diary" is no exception. On the official web site at http://entertainment.msn.com/ bridget, those singletons who cannot get enough of the movie can enjoy trailers, sound bites, pictures, biographies and all the generic rubbish that goes into a film web site. However, the c&gwf standard was not quite enough for our Ms. Jones, so included in the site are a list of quotes from famous single women, and a fun personality quiz that answers "How Bridget Jones are You?" There are also "Bridget's Britishisms" explained, which was quite useful since I still had no idea what a "tarts and vicars" party really meant after seeing the film twice. t h e Soundtrack I am a soundtrack junkie. I will buy soundtracks of films I hate because the music is so good, and I often make the mistake of buying a soundtrack to a film I love, only to discover I do not love the soundtrack. Right after the first time I saw the film, I bought the music. The soundtrack is just okay. It does have some great covers from Sheryl Crow and others, but just does not have the energy to keep up with the great memory of the hilarious film. However, it is good music but doesn't quite capture the true essence of Bridget Jones. �The Pride SpOltS Weekly Web Site: Men's Golf Team Wins NAIA Western Regional Tournament and Heads to Nationals .com By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Staff Writer JAFO_WAC for The Pride In sunny Southern California many people participate in outdoor sports and activities. Sailing is just one of the many sports available in San Diego, but it is perhaps the only place where it is possible to compete against some of the best sailors in the world every week. San Diego is home to several people who compete and win nationally and internationally, and who regularly race the local fleet races. Sailing is also a sport where inexperienced sailors are always welcome, as long as they are enthusiastic and willing to learn.

The main page is a little crowded with links, but the rest of the site is a well-organized collection of links and information regarding local sailing. This main page consists of links to the sub-pages across the top of the page and a picture of a boat. Around the boat are links on information of upcoming events and results from past events. Tuesday, May 8,2001 5 After a long season, the men's golf team showed some cougar power, t he men's golf team won the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) Western Regional tournament on April 26 at the Black Horse Golf Course in Seaside, a 54-hole event on a 6,593-yard, 72-par course. "Last year, we won the NAIA regional," said head golf coach Fred Hanover, "This year, I look for my team to play at or near their potential." Prior to the regional, NAIA ranked the men's golf team sixth in the nation. The team said that every tournament that they played prepared them for the challenges and competition they faced at the regional. Now, as they prepare for the nationals, they will work as a team to bring home the trophy. "We have an excellent chance to win, if we play well," said Brett Dolch, who led his team as the top individual player (223). Dolch, who has played golf since he was eight years old, came from Orange County to play golf and to get his degree The subsections include boat and crew lists where owners can tell the community that they are looking for people to sail on their boats, and people can indicate their sailing experience and what kind of boats they would like to sail.

Overall, this site is the best place to learn more about sailing in San Diego. in business. "Coach has a lot of experience," said Dolch, "He knows how we feel since he has played the game. He continuously assists me with my mental focus on the game." Cougar teammate Rob Keller, who tied for second place (225) at the regional added, "Coach Hanover has helped me with my mental game and to get focused once I'm on the golf course." Keller started playing golf when he was seven years old. When asked about the team's expectations at the nationals, Dolch said, "As long as my teammates and I play well, I will be okay. For me each game is a 'confidence builder.'" Keller added, "I really have a good feeling about the nationals." The players headed to the NAIA western Regionals are: Brett Dolch, sophomore; Rob Keller, sophomore; Joe Rathburn, sophomore; Cory Scoggin, sophomore; and Tony Sellers, junior. The Cougars will compete in the NAIA Nationals scheduled for May 22-25 at the Isleta Eagle Golf Course in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Team standings for the regionals: 1.

Z a g a r e11 a described the performance of a tribal ceremony in splendid detail, but he doesn't provide a description of what the ceremony symbolizes. His stated significance of "an open social outlook on sex and rebirth" was a bit generic. The beauty comes in understanding not what they do, but why they do it. While I also find beauty in cultural practices between consenting adults, I do, however, have difficulty in accepting acts of violence against the innocent, which in this case are the children. As a witness to the "most sacred" ceremony of the tribal community, Zagarella depicts an act where women "thrust the infant's head down upon the point of the rock." He credits his educational experience at CSUSM for enlightening his mind to be able to watch this scene, repeated approximately one hundred times according to his statistics. I, however, don't believe that I can suspend my "insensitive American" beliefs in human rights without more of an understanding as to what makes this act "sacred." Asking me to shelve my compassion to view this act as beautiful is like asking me to accept acts of mutilation or even genocide in the name of cultural ceremony or rites of passage. Even though I understand the controversy surrounding the fact that we impose judgment on other cultures according to our standards, my experience in crit- Through my own observations as well as through conversations with faculty, I am struck this semester by an alarming absenteeism rate on this campus. I can't help but wonder, where is it stated in the catalog, the Bible of any college community, that attending class is optional? Granted, many people have the impression that part of the college experience does indeed include the freedom of knowing that if they do not attend class, no one is going to call their parents. By not attending class, students miss out on the opportunity to experience the intellectual growth through shared ideas. A few weeks ago, The Pride ran an article about student apathy. Zagarella's article supports the idea that there are plenty of activities oh campus for students who are willing t o get involved. Students complain that there is not enough to do on this campus, and, in response, a Campus Climate Committee has been formed to address the needs of the students. But, if we cannot get students to come to campus to attend class, why do we think students will attend anything else? Campus events are meant to enrich the college experience, not be the college experience. So, if you complain that you are not getting anything out of your educational experience, perhaps you need to examine how much you have invested in the experience in order to expect any returns. "It is i n the classroom where intellectual growth takes place as we open our m inds..." ical analysis enables me to question the validity of such rites. The main point of Zagarella's article, however, is not lost on me. I appreciate his sharing of what the educational experience at CSUSM has to offer to the individual who is willing to open his or her mind. Since I have taken a course with Zagarella, I am aware that he attends classes regularly and that he comes prepared and willing to participate in an intellectual discussion. As students, we can read books on our own, but it is in the classroom where intellectual growth takes place as we open our minds to the opinions of not only our instructors, but our classmates as well. As a graduate student, I am fortunate .enough to be teaching while also taking courses. ^ h e Pride Co-Editor Co-Editor Feature Editor Opinion Editor Copy Editor Graduate intern Melanie Addmgton Victoria B.

When the situation warrants, we . occasionally help students by making exceptions to the rules. Those happy endings, of course, don't usually make it into the newspapers. Sometimes there are cases that cannot be resolved to the student's satisfaction, no matter how hard we try or how much we are able to "bend" the rules. The rules, after all, are not made to get in the way of students, but to assure that the University stays true to its academic mission, which is what gives value to our diplomas.

Riehl Ekecutive Director Enrollment Services Common Sense Is Needed: A Response to Several Problems on Campus By Abelardo Torres f or The Pride In the time I've been here, I've seen some and pardon my French, whacked-up people who for some unknown reason don't realize what they have on of their shoulders is a head and inside that is " brain—you know, a the thing that helps you, oh I dunno.. .think? And I'm not just talking about students either, cuz I've seen some PhD's do weird stuff, but that's another article. Allow me to illustrate some of my points. Example number 1: the library. Any one who has been trying to study often thinks: "library!" So you get there and head upstairs looking for an empty cubicle and, depending on the time of day and how far along the way you are in the semester, you eventually find one. But it's only a matter of minutes before you start to hear candy wrappers, drinks being opened and let's not forget whispers. So you pretend to cough. It all dies down only to be resurrected by loud chewing from someone in a cubicle eating—of all things—chips! Hello? Common sense being used? I think not! So after a while, the bag of chips run out and you fall to your knees and thank the lord. But it's going to take more than a prayer because there's a group of god knows what, friends? Classmates? Group members? Old acquaintances, perhaps, who have decided to have a ^mall conference in the quiet study area! Oh sure, there's conference rooms on first floor of library, but who needs that when you can go annoy those in the quiet study area upstairs trying to, oh I dunno.. .study? Here's the kicker—cell phones! You'd think that the library, of all places, would be a place where you'd at least have the brain cells to turn your cell phone into vibrate mode (if not o ff) or smart enough as to put 2 and 2 together and say uhmm... library?... uhmm.. .cell phone. *ping!a idea* e Volume down. But no! Some people seem to have their cell phones full blast, because once that thing goes off, it scares the heck out of not only the owner but also the neighbors. Sometimes I think that if they hadn't integrated those annoying songs into the ringers, we could probably use one of them as the fire alarm. But enough about library. Let's walk around the buildings and their doors, as well as the hallways and stairs. In a previous article I read something to the effect of 'don't use the electric handicapped door opener' And in response I'd like to pose a few simple questions: Have you worked on campus? If so, have you ever had to take a box from your work place to your car? Have you ever had both of your hands busy at the same time? Sure, there's an energy crisis and you should save electricity but if your hands are busy and there's no one t o open the door for you, then what? Stare at the door and hope that it reads your mind and opens by itself? C'mon! Interestingly enough, there are some doors that should just be kept open all the time. Try going from the dome to the library, the door just before the narrow stairs start leading down. What the heck were they thinking by installing a door that you pretty much have to slam your self against to open it? I'm surprised a lawsuit hasn't landed on the letsmakethisplaceahandicappedfriendly committee. I guess your usage of common sense on this one is a judgment call. To use or not to use your hands: that is the question. Check out example number 2: Hallways and stairs. Most of us get to our classroom a few minutes early and in most cases have to wait a few more for the current class to wrap up. While waiting we often lean against the wall, read a newspaper, or open a book. But some people decide to sit (or as I've seen it, lay down) and extend their legs into the middle of the hallway. You are forced to step over their feet in a last attempt to not fall on top of them. Then you get a tti : tude by this individual because they fail to get up and pull their feet together. Most often they call you "rude." The most outrageous lack of common sense is displayed on the stairs. Perhaps you've experienced it, seen it, done it, or tried to avoid i t It's when person X meets person Y and they decide to catch up on childhood memo- ries on the stairs. Both individuals are talking and blocking traffic, and they get mad at you for saying, "excuse me" as if you were the one causing the problem. To wrap up, I'd just like to ask that you use common sense before you do anything. Sure, it shouldn't be a big deal you talking on your cell phone, but it is when you decide to use it in the quiet study area in the library. And of course, there's nothing wrong with talking and catching up with old friends you haven't seen in the last 24 hours, don't do it in the stairs when fellow students need to get to classes. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with sitting down and stretching your legs, it's just that the hallway isn't the best place for it. ^ By no means would I ask you not to jump online, go on a chat channel, play an online game if you so desire but use common sense as to not to do it in the computers in the" library because people might want to do research. Just pointing out the obvious. �Opinion Sexual Assault Consciousness Needs to Be Raised The Pride By LISA LIPSEY Pride Staff Writer Not enough students are taking the initiative to learn about sexual assault or enroll i n selfdefense classes.

On Saturdays Palomar College is open from 9am-lpm to complement our lpm-5pm hours.

We encourage you to ask us for any assistance with copying you might need. I was reading reserve materials in the library and a group was putting up an art exhibit, hammering and making loud noises. Shouldn't studying take priority over art in the library? Please limit loud activities to times when the library is closed. We apologize for the noisy situation you experienced. We will work with all those installing art exhibits in the future to ask them to be as quiet as possible. I think we need to find a more effective system for the media reserves process. We do work to encourage faculty to only put media on reserve for as long as it is really needed. We ask that faculty do not put media on reserve just to hold it for an in-class showing. Even if Media is on reserve for one class it may be checked out to the instructor of a different class for an in-class showing. Please check with the Media Services desk if a video you need is on reserve for a different class. *For a full list of comments, please contact The Pride. HAVE AN OPINION?

DEVLIN M PRÎDE^ÂpS^SUSMBDU DîSTRI&tJTIOM MANAGER KATIE BRUGGEMAN | J^FÉ&fdKâs Eb'ïTÔRriH : AMANDA ANDREÌIN " In the fall of 2006 when two students enrolled in a women's studies course titled "Women in Performance," a course that focused on the body image and the female form, Professor, Karen Schaffman, assigned her students an assignment that would propel Jennifer Schouwe and Alexis Macias to create a campus organization named, IntHERnational. IntHERnational will become a part of CSUSM next fall, and it will aim to educate students in global issues surrounding the violations of women's human rights. IntHERnational will have a set focus on women without voices and women who are suppressed, abused, murdered or forgotten. Professor Schaffman asked to her class to create a zine. Macias and Schouwe created a zine titled IntHERnational with Barbara Whalen, Randi Leyva and Celeste Lampro. "The assignment was designed to artfully address any women's issues or a topic concerning women," Schouwe and Macias said. The zine focused on women from Afghanistan, Guatemala, Kenya, India and the United States. Each section of the zine informs its readers on women of various regions.

"The importance of having a club like IntHERnational that raises awareness and discussion about women's issues is clear," Schouwe and Macias said. "As IntHERnational relates to greater San Diego, establishing a grassroots connection on campus breeds a more lasting and honest beginning for larger community connections." Schouwe and Macias plan on hosting events including art exhibits and performances by dance and acting groups. In order to help local women and their families, Schouwe and Macias also plan on volunteering with CSUSM students for local nonprofit organizations. "In all honesty, we encourage students, faculty, and any community member to offer suggestions or input as to how we can be most effective as an organization in encouraging people to become more involved in our cause," said Schouwe and Macias. For more information on getting involved with IntHERnational, contact Jennifer Schouwe atschou001@csusm.eduor Alexis Macias at macia005@csusm. edu. Afghanistan section speaks of girls as young as 11 or 12 who have been given away in marriage to repay a debt. The zine also offers information for readers to donate to RAWA, the oldest socio-political organization of Afghan women. The zine also provides information on female genital mutilation in the Maasai community of Kenya. The zine describes how the 5,000 year old practice of removing the entire clitoris and labia is unwanted among women but the practice is the only means of acceptance of women in the community. The zine also features information on women of Guatemala, India and the United States. Following the zine project, each student took part in a performance that included a vigil and an art interpretation of each zine. After the performance, Schouwe and Macias said, "Karen offered her enthusiasm in suggesting we conduct our performance for the entire school. Alexis and I then thought more about the impact our message would have, but on a more lasting level, such as starting a club." an actual weapon loaded with blanks, so there will be noise.

Currently, the Cougars are ranked 19th in the nation out of 65 teams for Class AA and are hoping Outreach and Lissa Lim, Operations Coordinator. "It seems unfair that the four of us get credit when really it's been a team effort. We have come far this year. Look at us. This is our family. We are here together. We are here because we all beliçve in the same things," Lim said. Cheyenne Barr gave a solo a-cappella performance of a tune that she wrote to honor several volunteers. The ditty was a spin on the Inez and Charlie Foxx version of "Mockingbird." Barr asked guests to stand as their names popped up in the lyrics. The Women's Center distributed 25 certificates of appreciation to student leaders of CSUSM, along with earth toned t-shirts decorated with the image of the growing tree displaying many of the participant's names. About sixty-five invitations were sent out for the ceremony. A slide show featuring volunteers brought the event to a close on a cheerful note and left participants laughing away at all the good memories they had shared while working together. Out of all the events the Women's Center hosted in the past year, Hoodenpyle said, "The most popular event of the semester was the singer, songwriter Ellis, who is a lesbian performer." Following the slide show, guests were asked to check underneath their seats for a purple ribbon, and winners possessing the ribbons received bonsai trees for a prize. Lim closed her speech with a quote, "Margaret Mead was right when she said, 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed that's the only thing that ever has.'" have, it has been somewhere else." With high hopes of gaining support of fellow students, Guevana and fellow students passed a petition around the room to gain signatures in hopes of imposing the importance of courses on Asian-American culture on President Karen Haynes and the rest of the CSUSM community. But having courses placed on the agenda is only a starting point. Students also hope to give future students an opportunity to minor in AsianAmerican studies, and potentially even major in it. But the support of fellow classmates might not be enough to gain these courses. Liberal Studies professor Robert Yamashita said, "We can fill the schedule with as many courses as possible, but we cannot teach AsianAmerican courses if the students don't enroll for them." The professors emphasized the slow procedure that would take place to gain courses and the responsibility of those students who want to register for the classes. "It would be a huge step back for all of us if we were to make an approach at adding courses for Asian-American studies and then have three or four students register for the class. They would then take that course off the schedule and add another course at the time slot and we it would be heavy blow to what we are trying to accomplish today," Yamashita said. With high hopes of achieving a course for next fall, the staff members in attendance were able to get a better of picture of how many students are interested in taking a course on AsianAmerican studies. to improve their overall standing. Paintball is ranked the 3rd most popular extreme sport in the United States with over 10 million participants, according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association. In the past 20 years, paintball has blossomed from a 'war game' played in the woods to a legitimized tournament sport. "People think we wear camouflage and play pretend war out in the forest... it's nothing like that. We play on a regulation sized field, with rules, penalties, referees, spectators, and media. Tournament style play is fast and fierce," said team member Andrew Craig. The Cougars play in a format known as 45-man', two teams consisting of five members each play with a five minute time limit with one flag in the center.

With each proceeding year Cougars paw out more and more money each semester as not only tuition increases but other items such as parking costs increase. Unfortunately, the inflation within the cost of pursuing a higher education does not equal the amount of money Cougars earn. Thus, student loans offer a much-needed band-Aid for the situation. The majority of student loans start with Free Application for Federal Student Aid. FAFSA applications are due before July 2. FAFSA determines eligibility for student loans. Student loans are subsidized and/or unsubsidized. Subsidized loans allow students to take out loans from the federal government without having to pay interest or make payments while attending school at least part-time. Subsidized loans remain interest free and payment free until the student has not attended school at least part-time status within a six-month period. Unsubsidized loans acquire interest and require the student to make monthly payments while attending school. CSUSM requires all first time student loan students to complete two items. First, students must complete Loan Entrance Counseling through the internet. Then students must electronically sign a loan promissory note. Aside from the FAFSA, there are other student loan oppor- UNITED STATES ARMY HEALTH CARE SERGEANT FIRST ClASS <^FC) WAUD W m Wk - —u Q $77) 7330 CU 2- 1— « 2 Titscthy.W«ud@us4fec. »ray.nul NURSE CORPS~ ADNRNs for Army Reserves Cash bonus Financing for BSN Local Employment Advanced nurse trai ning available; CRNA, LTHET.CC.

The Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students PLUS allows parents of dependent-students to take out student loans. Parents qualify for the loan based on a credit check. A monthly payment of at least 50 dollars is required within 60 days of disbursement. The loan amount is due within ten years. The Federal Perkins Loan o ffers a loan primarily for teaching credential students. The loan focuses on certain groups due to limited funding. The loan requires outstanding financial need. Similar to a subsidized l6an, payments are required 9 months a fter the student has stopped attending school with at least part-time status. As long as the student remains in school part-time, the loan remains interest f ree as well. The Cal State San Marcos Spicer loan allows students to take out up to $4,000 in student loans. Also similar to a subsidized loan, students make payments a fter they have stopped attending school parttime within six months. The Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships determines eligibility. The Cal State San Marcos Emergency Loan quickly allows students to take out $500. The loan is interest free. The loan amount is also due at the end of the semester. The loan becomes available two days after processing. Curious or confused Cougars should visit Cougar Central, which is located in the Tukwut courtyard on the third floor of Craven Hall.

BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Scotland is a country often passed oyer in lieu of its cousin, Ireland. But for the life of me I cannot understand why. It is a land of hauntingly beautiful landscapes, friendly peoples and amazing history. Vast mountain ranges scrape the ceiling of billowing clouds and the sparkling Lochs and rivers burst with life. Indeed, there is such an amazing expanse of unspoiled countryside just waiting to be explored. Scotland holds a host of relics and secrets and it is not uncommon for a visitor to stumble upon such forgotten and hidden treasures, be it the ruins of a castle, ancient Celtic carvings or rare spectacular wildlife- such as the secretive sea otter or pine martin. Scotland is a land of contradiction - of warriors and artists, peace and chaos; and she has something to offer everyone. From the outdoor enthusiast, the gastronomy or the history buff - she has it all. For me, on a trip to the Kyle of Lochalsh; the image of a red, twelve-pointer stage thundering alongside an old steam train, dragon-like with clouds of steamy breath hitting the cool highland air is firmly imprinted into my brain. In case you didn't realize it yet - 1 love Scotland; it is the land of my birth, and my home. As an unofficial ambassador to my homeland, I often hear the plans of future tourists and, more often than not, they present such an unrealistic itinerary that I cringe - yes it is a small country but do not be fooled! We have some of the wildest terrain imaginable and the canny traveler must be prepared for amazingly winding roads, this also means that a longer amount of time must be factored into a journey through a mountain range, along with other considerations, such as holdups caused by free ranging livestock and inclement weather. In fact, stormy weather may descend at a moments notice and the winds and rain can carry with them the same fervor as the magnificent landscape itself. All of that information digested, the next thing to realize is that there are different and distinct cultures in Scotland, a major divider being the highlands and the lowlands respectively. Needless to say, there is a vastly different experience to be gained from time spent in either of these regions. A trip to the constantly mispronounced Capital city of Edinburgh is a must. The correct pronunciation is Edin-bur-UHH, as in 'huh'. It is NOT EdinBURG (so please do not call it that!). Apart from the Castle, which contains the crown jewels, there are so many places to explore in the city, far too many to list here! Other cities worth a peek aré Glasgow, for its amazing nightlife and art; St. Andrews - the birthplace of golf, Fort William with rugged Glencoe nearby and the highest mountain in the highlands — Ben Nevis. Inverness with its close proximity to Loch Ness and Dingwall, has so many highland attractions within easy reach. An often missed region of Scotland is the Trossachs; this is Rob Roy Macgregór country and it encompasses the stunning Loch Lomond, the tranquil village of Balquhidder and breathtaking countryside. Stirling, a really underappreciated city in my opinion, is nearby and it is here that you will find the Wallace monument. It contains exhibits, a spectacular panoramic view from the top of the monument and the huge sword of Wallace himself! Getting to the mainland however is mandatory to fully appreciate the culture of Scotland as her scores of islands have different stories to tell. So next time you are thinking of heading overseas, consider Scotland, not only Ireland! Just make sure you allocated enough time and try to visit the Highland and Islands too, for a real taste of life there, why not visit all the distilleries - become a genuine whisky connoisseur! Such a trip to Scotland will reveal that there is much more than bagpipes, kilts, haggis and 'Braveheart' to enjoy...want a real surprise? - Visit the lovely village of Plockton - we have naturally growing palm trees there! But don't just take my word for i t... �Jock Talk With Josh: Sinning off BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer When I was in 8th grade I went on a field trip t o CSUSM. I don't remember what for. That was back in 1999 when I was 13 years old. I remember standing at the top of the stairs that lead t o Science Hall, j ust watching the students walk around campus. I remember at the end of the day saying I wasn't interested in going t o that University. It didn't have sports. I remember a Saturday in April of 2003 when I came to CSUSM to take my placement tests. I was mad because I was missing the opening of the NBA playoffs. I remember a day in Summer 2003 when I had orientation and signed up for Fall 2003 courses. I remember sitting in Arts 240, wondering how this group of people called the O-Team could be so damn happy at 8AM. I remember the tour around campus. I remember arriving at Commons 201, just past die ASI offices, above the University store, and t o the l eft of the elevator. The guide said this was where the student newspaper had its office. It seemed like he was looking directly at me when he said t hat I remember the first Tuesday of Spring 2004. It was 5PM and I was waiting in the hallway of 2007 University Hall to attend my first newspaper class. I remember these two women introducing themselves, asking why I was interested in the newspaper. I remember saying, " I want t o be a sports journalist when I grow up? One of those women was Sarah Carlin. I remember her calling me on Wednesday February 11th, telling me t o come t o campus. She asked i f l wanted t o write a sports column every week. I asked what we would call i t I remember Michael Dolan, the Ombudsman and future editor-in-chief, sitting in a chair, helping u s come up with a title. Sarah thought up "Jock Talk," and I added "With Josh." I remember Tuesday February 17th, 2004 when the first "Jock Talk With Josh" came o ut It was about the dangers of ephedra based drugs and how they were affecting the world of sports. Since I'm graduating this semester, this is the final "Jock Talk." I have learned and experienced so much because of this column. This helped turn me into a working journalist with the "San Diego Union-Tribune" on April 29th 2004. It gave me a voice to influence. If l wanted to talk about something, I wrote it here. I 'll never forget when a current staff writer told me she joined the paper because of the article I wrote in opposition t o the University Hour. This also got me into a lot of trouble. I got my share of hate mail when I lambasted the Winter Olympics and when I commented on the media's hypocrisy in the Michael Richards incident When my picture first accompanied the column, April 13th 2004, I found out that people actually read this. To this day I 'm still shocked when someone tells me they read this. Earlier this semester on a Friday night I was at a restaurant in Solana Beach when a woman came up to me, asking if I was Josh Sandoval. I didn't know her, and was wondering how she knew me. She told me she loves my column and reads it every week. It meant a lot t o me any time someone came up t o me on campus and told me they read this. I could fill this final column with just names of people and places that meant something to me, so here are a few. I've worked with three faculty advisors: Jennifer Woodring, Anthony Hurst, and Joan Anderson. I've worked in three newspaper rooms: Commons 201, ACD 301, and Craven 3500. I've worked with five editorin-chiefs: Elizabeth Baldwin, Jon Rodley, Michael Dolan, Patrick B. Long, and David Galley. I also have t o mention Jason Encabo, the current Managing Editor and future editor-in-chief, because I've been on the paper with him the longest There wasn't a Sports section until my column came around. My dream came true this year when my column got pushed t o the Opinion section because others joined t o cover sports. Thank you Jeremy Albers, Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn, David Church, Richard Esperti and Kyle Trembley. I'm going t o miss this newspaper. I invested four years and 90 columns, so I know I 'll shed a tear in F ait2007 when this is no longer part of my life. I don't know where I 'll be in 10 years. I could be a sports writer, an MLB General Manager, a national radio host, or a best selling author. Who the heck knows? One thing I do know is I have this column t o thank for getting me started. For the last time, comments can be sent to me at Sando026@csusm.edu and the paper at jnide@csusm.edu. •Siili Mmbriit'htesä I« I^^HBHB nimonitnisaal BBaBPWgBSBi^iaiigieaveiyiD •MMMÉDL • IR • Xj S M MAROOS W « t ( 7 6 0 ) 5 1 0 - 1 9 9 7 Santa F«Rd.

He's got a knack for cracking us up and a taste for music that's won him a Grammy. He's got a dog named Roscoe, and in his spare time, he likes to hang out with his Mends, watch movies and read. In his fourth film, "The Ex," B raff plays Tom Reilly, a character struggling t o call a handicapped person a, shall we say, an asshole? "One of things the movie addresses," Braff said, "is how do you deal with someone who's an asshole, they happened t o b e in a wheelchair, but they're an asshole? You feel so sorry for this guy because he's had to deal with all this adversity in his life, but he's an asshole. This guy's trying to ruin my life, and no one will side with me because everyone feels sorry for him." Directed by Jesse Peretz, "The E x" stars "Arrested Development"'s Jason Bateman as Chip Sanders who is paraplegic and still has a thing for Sofia Kowalski (Amanda Peet). Sofia, a lawyer, is a new mother and happily married to Tom. When Sofia chooses to become a stay-at-home mom, Tom finds it challenging to step up to the demands of providing for his family, especially when faced with working alongside Bateman's character, Chip. Off camera, the two comedians hammed it up, and according to Braff, Bateman's jokes left him giggling like a schoolgirl. "Mostly it's him making f un of me and laughing at my expense. He's one of those people, he can be making f un of you and you're just cracking up because he's so freakin' funny." Growing up in New Jersey, Braff was exposed to Manhattan's performing art scene early on. He has memories of his parents commuting into Manhattan to see performances at art house theaters well before independent films were the thing to see. At home in New Jersey, B rafFs father would host dinner parties for friends and project 16-millimeter films on the wall. Most of those movies were Woody Allen films. "Even at a young age, before I could possibly understand a Woody Allen movie or anything else, I have memories of my father celebrating the art of movies and filmmaking." The art of filmmaking turned into a dis- cipline for Zach. He graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Film and a minor in Musical Theatre. From there he landed a role in Woody Allen's "Manhattan Murder Mysteries," where Braff said, "If you look at my face closely for the forty five seconds I'm on screen, you'll notice that I looked terrified. I was in a little bit over my head." In 2001, Braff became Dr. John "JD" Dorian on "Scrubs." Next season's future of "Scrubs" is uncertain. "My gut is that it will be on, but it won't be decided until May 15, and particularly which network. It will either be on NBC or ABC." As a writer, director and soundtrack producer for "Garden State," Braff has a thing or two to say about making films for the aspiring film makers. "You can't talk about it," Braff said, "No amount of taking classes or talking about it is going to make any difference. You have to get out there and make films. And I think, really, really Earn 3 credits more info: pricie@csusiiLedu "So my idea is to have all these different artists I really love, from Imogen Heap to Paul Simon to Chris Martin, to write original songs that, in the movie, we'll pretend are her songs and then she'll sing them in the movie. On the soundtrack, the artist who wrote the song will sing the song they wrote. That's my rough concept of an idea and I'm going to see if I can get people to do that." As far as music, Braff is currently into Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michaelson. "I think everyone should go on MySpace. There's this girl Schuyler Fisk. She doesn't have an album out, but you can hear her on MySpace. She is incredible. I think that she's going to be a big talent." And speaking of Myspace, Braff said, "I really love the MySpace thing. For me, it's such a cool invention that you can have a dialogue with your fans."

Anyone with a video camera can go out there and make a video and put it on YouTube. What sets the certain ones apart is someone took the time and wrote a really good script." Although Braff frequently chooses the music for "Scrubs,'* and has won a Grammy for his selection of music for "Garden State," and has directed three music videos, Braff said, "I really don't know anything about music, other than I know what I like. If I can be a catalyst for some amazing musician to help get exposure then I feel honored. I'm sure you've seen an artist in any art form that you love, and you j ust can't believe that no one knows about them." Braff is looking forward to directing "Open Hearts," a dark drama. His excitement for "Open Heart's" soundtrack is already bubbling up. "The lead girl in the ; movie is an aspiring singer," Braff said. m ' I Ä ' JJ . Write for The Pride!

I want to say thanks for doing such an Farewell from the Editor In Chief: David Gatley First off, I had no idea I was graduating at &e onset. of this semester. ; After one spends six years in college the light at the end of the tunnel looks more like a microscopfc, translucent, blurry, mirage more than anything else; seriously, no exaggeration whatsoever. Looking back it occurs to me that this little publication we call The Pride is hard to define. The lack of a college of Journalism and the prevalence of Uterature^id Writing studetrts t end^f make Hie Pride m f e a i^gasa^r and creative writing forum than a being 3^>u {tfa^ to unite the entire campus community and forever capture the spirit of being young. They also let you print stories about sex, alcohol, drugs, rebellion, rock and roll, abortion and anything else controversial, underground and altogether morally sound and righteously awesome ;) ei In all seriousness however, I've been lucky enough to utilize The Pride as a voice of the students, at least those who spoke U p, to take on ««^trovdrsy and concàii ; on campus such as the new Stu* dent Conduct Policy and issues like PedesWan Safety R's real^ reffeshingfÉr s ^ a mwJIiun such newspaper.

BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, May 3, during university hour, the library courtyard was rocked with the sounds of Afro-Cuban drum and music. Paul Huggins, a musician and educator at Yale University since 1969 who has played A froCuban drums for five decades, performed with Agogo, the resident drum and dance ensemble of Palomar College. A fter singing, performers Silfredo La O Vigo and Patrice-ann Mead showed off their dancing skills, while the drum ensemble laid down some contagious beats. Dozens of students gathered to hear the distinctive drum songs and to watch the high-energy dancing. Performers played congas, bongos, and other percussion instruments including a box-shaped drum. They played all during university hour, which is quite a feat considering some drum players played with only their bare hands. As a former percussionist, I can attest that this is truly amazing. Even playing for Photo by Kim Anderson / The Pride Cai State San Marcos students while 10 minutes can make an average drummer's hands numb from all of that drum slapping. At the end, the band had interested students come up and learn how to meringue. Students' skill levels varied from the very beginning stages to those who clearly were not dancing for their first time. It was amazing to see how much f un it was for students to learn and dance. The instructors were both very skillful dancers whose infectious attitudes made learning dancing a joy, and for us observers, entertaining to watch. "It's Beer. Hooray Beer." If you have not already guessed, this week's Beer of the week is Red Stripe. Not only is Red Stripe brewed and bottled in Jamaica but the Ambassador of Jamaica is also the spokesman for Red Stripe. Obviously Jamaica is very proud of their beer, and they have the right to be. Red Stripe is not only a delicious brew, but it also complements Jamaican cuisine. I was digging through my refrigerator hoping to find a home cooked meal when my roommate mentioned he had discovered a new restaurant just down the street. I looked at him and said, "Let's Go." Next thing I know we are pulling up to Jamrock on the 101 in Encinitas. "Jamaican cuisine: this will be a first." But I was in store for much more. When we sat down the first thing I ordered was a Red Stripe. When the waitress returned with our beers in hand I was happy to see that these were no ordinary Red Stripes; these were at least 32 ounces of delicious beer. While I was enjoying the first couple sips of beer, the waitress filled us in on some of the history of Red Stripe. To my surprise Red Stripe is still brewed and bottled in Jamaica. A soda company brewed the first Red Stripe in 1928. Americans first discovered Red Stripe during World War II when some of our troops were sent to Jamaica. But it wasn't until the 1960s, when Jamaica became independent from Britain, that the company could go public and really start producing beer. I enjoyed my Red Stripe with and Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich. It was delicious, and washing it down with Red Stripe finished it off perfectly. "It's beer. Hooray beer."

This time they face what may be their most challenging task yet - finding a new King for Far Far Away after King Harold (shall we pun?) croaks. (Well, he was a frog after all.) Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas return as the incomparable vocal cast. It all began in 1930 with the debut of a teen super-sleuth named Nancy Drew. Conceived by Edward Stratemeyer, whose brainchildren include such well-known favorites as the Bobbsey Twins and the Hardy Boys, the "Nancy Drew" series was published under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene though a number of writers actually worked on the series. In the soon-to-be-released film adaptation, Emma Roberts plays the winsome teen detective who relocates from the fictional town of River Heights to Hollywood, California, and promptly finds a mystery to solve. "Ocean's Thirteen June 8 99 Ellen Barkin and Al Pacino join in on the fun in the sequel to the sequel to the remake of "Ocean's Eleven." In | "Ocean's Thirteen," Danny Ocean | must get the gang together for one | more heist. This time, casino owner Willy Bank (Pacino) has it in for Reuben (Elliott Gould). And as the ; tagline goes, "What are the odds of | getting even? 13 to one." ¡Sum Update your playlist wit "Transformers" July 4 The "robots in disguise" make it to the big screen this summer when the Autobots and the Décepticons bring their battle to Earth. Which side will you choose? "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" July 13 Harry enters his fifth year at Hogwarts in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which hits theaters just eight days before J.K. Rowling's newest Harry Potter hits the shelves. This film adaptation of the fifth book in J.K. Rowling's widely popular series catches up with Harry after his encounter with Lord Voldemort, whose return the leaders of the wizarding community refuse to acknowledge. Troubled by disturbing dreams, Harry must prepare for battle against the Dark Arts while struggling with the pains of adolescence as the girl of his dreams begins to take an interest in him.

W ho can argue with Maroon 5 's latest single, "Makes Me Wonder"? There is n o doubt about it t hat t he guys are back and back with an attitude, along with some seriously slick songs. It w on't b e long before t he album "It Won't Be Soon B efore Long," is in stores May 22. D are I say it—Hanson is m aking a comeback. Though t he brotherly t rio h as b een o ut of t he limelight for quite some t ime now, t he once adolescent " MmmBoppers" are now all grown up. Seeing t hat I w as once a seventh g rade teenie-bopper obsessed w ith t he t hree " Mmm-Boppers," I w as quite s urprised t o h ear about t heir new album " The W alk" being released on 3CG Records May 22. Hanson, having traveled t o South A frica and Mozambique, h as centered t he t heme of t heir new album and single " The Great D ivide" on t he devastating A IDS epidemic in A frica. It would b e h ard for Paul M cCartney t o go wrong on His upcoming release, especially since it is r umored that h e is producing and compiling old audio t racks f rom h is Beatles days to create t he last ever m ade new Beatles song with a little help f rom h is good friend R ingo Starr. " Memory A lmost F ull" is due out J une 5. A h, E nrique Iglesias. We have m issed o ur " hero." E nrique's latest single " Do You K now" is upbeat even t hough its tone b ehind t he lyrics is slightly forlorn. E nrique looks and sounds b etter t han ever; h is b reak from t he niusic scene h as w orn on h im well. Only 36 more sleepless nights u ntil E nrique's album, " Insomniac" debuts June 12. Lastly, R ufus Wainwright, t he p oetic d reamer h e is, h as a new album entitled "Release t he Stars," which w ill b e on store shelves May 15.

Nothin' but Love for the ILOVEYOU Worm Attack: ...8 Though the infamous ILOVEYOU "worm" spread like the plague throughout computer systems around the world, shutting down government agencies, corporate networks, and even entire nations early Thursday morning, May 4, 2000, CSUSM contained the attack on campus computers by noon the same day. ILOVEYOU was the subject line on e-mails containing an attachment that opened what some reports mistakenly called a "virus". According to the Symantec Antivirus Research Center viruses and worms differ in how they spread. Symantec is the provider of Norton Anti Virus software. Worms are designed to propagate cyber violence throughout a network with little or no help from humans (i.e. grabbing addresses and mailing itself). Alternatively, a virus is designed to hide out and allow itself to be sent to a recipient where it can wreck havoc on a machine. The ILOVEYOU attachment contained a Visual Basic Script (.vbs file) that, once opened, would mail itself to everyone listed in the address book, then begin corrupting specific files number of projects I hope to pursue and through them, I intend to continue contributing to the campus and the communities we serve/ Thanks for the support and commitment you've shown over the past four years. Together, we've made a lot of progress. In a memorandum to the Cal State San Marcos Campus Community dated May 3,2000 and released following the Academic Senate meeting, CSUSM's President Dr. Alexander Gonzalez notes that "[o]n Monday, May 1, Dr. Richard Karas resigned his position as Vice President for Academic Affairs. I respect his decision as well as his request for reassignment to a faculty position in the College of Arts and Sciences. With the fall semester, Dr. Karas will become a Professor of Physics at Cal on the local machine. "It's impressive code.. Clean...

The worm created what an Information Technology Consultant in HelpDesk Support, Carlos Arciniega, called a "panic" among campus computer users. When David Medeiros, Operating Systems Analyst for the campus Computing and Telecommunications department opened his e-mail at about 7:15am to more than 50 expressions of affection, he realized he was either more popular than he ever imagined or that a cyber attack had been unleashed on the campus e-mail system. "I opened the first arjd saw that the file extension on the attachment was .vbs," Medeiros stated. Knowing that most attachments are more common file types like .txt, .doc, or .jpg, Medeiros went to look for the latest updates for the Virus Scan program that catches and cleans Infected files. Medeiros said that they employed a 3-tiered defense, "Stop it, contain it, and fix it." Medeiros said that CSUSM faired better than many other organizations in the face of the worm because Computing and Telecommunications were prepared to react to the threat quickly. "When something like this happens, it's a big team effort," Medeiros said in praise of his coworkers. Computing shut down the campus e-mail servers almost immediately to quarantine the worm and began the process of cleaning the attachments for the campus e-mail servers.

In the same memorandum Gonzalez states that he will shortly "make a decision about an interim appointment and [begin] the search to replace Dr. Karas." Dr. Karas' resignation comes on the heels of the resignation of the both the Dean of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Victor Rocha, who will be taking a position as a professor of Psychology in the fall, and the Dean of the College of Business Administration, Dr. Newton Margulies who resigned his position in the fall of 1998 citing personal reasons.

"Its all pretty straight forward, we are drilling to find the depth of the granite layer underneath the compacted e arth," stated Paul Dunster, Project Geologist of Geocon, who headed the p roject. Paul also states, "The granite layer will serve as a foundation for the new library." Due to previous blasting and grading, some of the granite was found in large fragments. The fragments are not capable of supporting heavy structures such as the library. Granite stability was the m ajor problem Geocon "drilled i nto" while determining the granite depth. "Sometimes i t's d ifficult to tell if the granite is s table," stated Dunster. Dunster said that he o ften had to get into "the cage" and was lowered down into holes to determine granite stability.

He also served as Chair of Sonoma State's physics and astronomy department, and as a manager in a computer company doing business in China.

Trying to establish a Greek sorority on campus is a continual process that takes f rom one to three years, Dr. Francine M. Martinez, Vice President of Student A ffairs, explained at the meeting. "The group can start as a club; however, it does not mean the club will be a recognized Greek organization," said Dr. Martinez. She outlined the process of establishing a Greek sorority f rom a club. The recognized club organization moves to a provisional status, and finally becomes an o fficially recognized chapter. Currently, there are two Greek social organization f raternities and two sororities on campus. The two Greek f raternities are Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Sororities on campus include Alpha Chi Raving Ecstasy Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER Instead of buying alcohol at clubs, it is now trendy to buy drugs at Raves. Raves are becoming increasingly popular f or people under 21 because all ages are allowed inside. A Rave usually consists of music and endless dancing. "Club drugs" are gaining popularity because they help people sustain their energy, which allows a person to dance f or longer hours, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). One of the most popular drugs is MDMA (Ecstasy), which has been illegal in the United States since 1985. CSUSM: A Message f rom Stu- he changed his mind. "Maybe.

One major problem of MDMA is that users may start having intense memories f rom the past that they are not able to deal with psychologically. MDMA takes anywhere f rom 30 minutes to two hours b efore it begins to work. When it does begin to work, the user reaches the peak e ffect in only a few minutes and the user may start to f eel out of control until the plateau. The e ffects of the drug last f rom three to six hours. Unfavorable side e ffects that may occur include, dehydration ( from dancing f or long hours and not drinking enough water), nausea, vomiting, j aw clenching, eye twitching, and dizziness. It is also possible for the user to have an altered state in their mood for up to two weeks a fter taking MDMA. MDMA is in such high demand at Rave parties that the MDMA may produce "strong supply w on't last through the feelings of c omfort, empathy, evening, leaving sellers to pedand connection to o thers," dling Ecstasy pills that do not have the contents of MDMA. According to The Vaults of Erowid "the functional d efinition of Ecstasy is a pill represented as MDMA on the s treet." This leaves the user not knowing what exactly is in the pill they are buying. Way- Off Broadway at Cal State San Marcos MDMA pills can look very d ifferent because it is an " art" putting d ifferent engravings on the tablet. For example there may be a sun engraved on the top or a smiley face. The pills also range in color. Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER According to N BC's Dateline, MDMA is the most popular drug at Raves. However, there are several other drugs that are being used increasingly in the club scene. Examples include GHB, Rohypnol, Ketamine, and LSD. All of these drugs are even more dangerous when combined with alcohol use. Raves are usually held on the weekends in San Diego County and most commonly will feature " techno" music with plenty of dancing. Students of Professor Loni B erry's Theatre Arts class (TA 300) will perform in a play of their own creation. Tentatively titled "Decisions, D ecisions,"the theatre experience will take place in the CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts Annex on Tuesday, May 16, 2000. The crew and 11-member cast are made up entirely of CSUSM students* many of whom have never b efore been involved with a theatre production. Some actors a re nervously calling the production " Off-off Broadway... Way-off Broadway." " It's not about the production, "said Professor Berry, " it's about the m aterial." The play f ollows San Diego television reporter, Mike Anderson as he p ieces together the events s urrounding a fictitious Proposition 33, a proposition that bans same-sex marriages in C alifornia. Mike uncovers startling evidence on election night about the p roposition's author, a never-seen Senator Bob Daye. Students researched topics relevant to C alifornia society, and then write and produce a play based on the research results. The p erformances are the culmination of the semesterlong assignment f or the class. The general public is invited, but the production does entail adult language and content. Admission is f ree and seating will be on a first-come, first-served b asis. Those wishing to attend should plan to arrive at the VPAA on La Moree Road at 7 :30pm. �Heading East: Asian Pacific American History Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER " Heading E ast," t he t raveling e xhibit t hat w as o n d isplay i n t he C SUSM L ibrary, g raced t he c ampus c ommunity w ith i mages a nd h istory of A sian-Americans.

BE ALL YOU CAN B E www.goarmy.com �Dear Editors, better yet, Dear Students who voted NO on the Health Services Referendum: (Fallbrook, CA). Dear Editors: I wanted to thank all the students who attended the child development workshops. Your registration benefited the ASI Early Learning Center. For those who do not know about the child development workshops, let me fill you in. Every month this semester, speakers from t}ie San Diego County Family Child Care Association have been giving workshops on child issues and education. The I would like to think that your Student Health Services is important to you and is taking sessions included: care of your needs. Dr. Nicholson did say, regarding the compromising of staffing because "Storytelling" by Cheron Yusko - co-sponof the NO vote, they "will not be able to accommodate students..." and it will be "...difficult sored by John C.

Just take a good look at the health care system in this country! (I Yusko gave a wide range of ideas on how to would love to see it on the ballot; vote no on HMO's and go back to the old way—I'd never tell stories to children of all ages. leave the voting booth). "Stress ant the Young Child" by Bobby Kilbourne - co-sponsored by Fallbrook PharThe Student Health Services has had a positive impact on this campus in taking care of the student's health care needs. It has been a one-on-one healthcare practice, including the macy. Kilbourne reminded us that so many pharmacy department, which is extremely important to any individual.

The door prizes health care (on the outside). So believe me, students who voted NO on the referendum, it was poor judgment on your part, because the last thing you want here is an understaffed were great and all donated by local businesses. Be sure to thank the following contributors healthcare facility. Understaffing means less or poor quality care. when you see them: Pizza Hut for donating pizza certificates; Someone once told me, "Because of the advancement of the medical technology in these changing times, we have to change with it and welcome these new practices of healthcare" Angel's Landing Resort - A free night; Solid (this was their way to describe poor quality care and understaffing). I replied, "Tell that to Rock Gym Indoor Rock Climbing - Free your heart patients and your AIDS patients, and your sexually transmitted disease patients, passes; North County Gymnastics & The the elderly, the small children who are told they have a 24 hour bug, but die a few days later, Gyminny Kids - Certificate; Hair Attitudes and those who find Out at the last minute that their cancer is too far gone, and last but not - a certificate for the works; Albertson's & least, your everyday patient who just wants that check-up because he or she needs to know Edwards - Certificates; Bobbi Kilbourne Gifts; Kaitlynn Miller - Gift certificate for that the body is functioning okay!"

I wish you could vote again saying that thefirstone did not count --it was just for practice. I am very curious to know why you students who voted NO did so. I realize that you all can't possibly just tell me, and probably do not want to be bothered in doing so, but please, I urge you to respond to this little write up of mine and offer your input, your insights, your reasons behind the negative vote. I almost want to dare you. I can't help to wonder why you would not want more and better services from Student Health Services. Was the vote an issue of money; say, $35.00? I bet you spend way more on junk food all semester! Soda and candy is not cheap. All supported child development and the CSU San Marcos ASI Early Learning Center by giving incentives for people to attend these educational workshops. It's not too late to win one of these exciting door prizes! We still have one more workshop this semester - Thursday, May 11, 2000 at 7:15pm, with Ruthie Hewitt - "Math and Science Can Be Fun". Join us, learn and win! Also, after talking with many, it has been decided that scheduling the trainings for the afternoon rather than evenings is best. Therefore, the workshops next semester will be once a month, on a weekday afternoon, for your convenience. Keep in mind that Ellen Flanagan will visit next semester and talk about "Sensitivity to Child Rearing Values": The date is not yet decided, so watch for announcements in the Pride Calendar of Events and campus posting. Again, thank you to all that have supported and attended the ASI Early Learning Center trainings. Together we're making our community a more knowledgeable place about our developing children! Hope to see you in May! Sincerely, Debbie Nation ASI Childcare Representative Violence Against Women Act Needs Five More Years Darcy Walker Cesar Chavez Day Victor Mireles In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), a landmark piece of legislation that works at the federal, state and community levels to protect women and childrenfromdomestic violence and sexual assault. Funding provided under this law allowed five years of federal support for programs such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline, which receives more than 8,000 calls per month. Shelters for battered women and rape crisis centers are among the many services made possible by this legislation. I attended the Cesar Chavez and Cinco de Mayo event put on by the CSUSM MEChA club. The event took place at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to the free speech area, and had the support of ASI and the University. Both the ASI and university presidents spoke briefly on the importance of having diversity on campus. Yet, after they left, the event showed its true colors and became a hybrid political and cultural rally. With training also granted by the VAWA, police, judges and court personnel are learning how best to respond to the unique dynamics of domestic and sexually violent crimes. Countless lives have been improved and saved by the programs supported by this legislation. But five years is not enough time to end violence against women, and lives are at risk daily. We cannot afford to close down shelters and hotlines. Thefirstspeaker talked about the suffering that Chicanos have faced for centuries. He said that the defacement of the Che Guevara banner last year was a hate crime because "he was a greatfigurein the struggle forfreedom."The speaker also made a thinly disguised accusation of racism saying that the people complaining about the volume of the music might be doing so because, "they don't like Chicanos expressing themselves." He finally said that his views spoke for all Hispanics. I quickly left the event and wondered what this all meant. Congress is considering a bill to extend funding for the Violence Against Women Act for anotherfiveyears. Since its introduction last year, 171 members of the House have cosponsored H.R. 1248, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Bill. Locally, Representative Brian Bilbray of the 49th district has shown his support by signing on as a cosponsor in October of last year. However, Reps. Randy Cunningham (51st district) and Ron Packard of the 48th district have yet to make this important commitment. As residents of North County, we rely on these men to speak for us in Congress. Call on them to stand up for women, children, and families. Ask your representative to sponsor and support HR 1248. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, 51st District: Phone: 760-737-8438 Fax: 737-9132 613 W, Valley Pkwy. Ste. 320 Escondidio, 92025 Ron Packard, 48th District: Phone:760-631-1364 Fax:631-1367 22l E.Vista Way Ste. 205 Vista, 92084 Additional district and representative information is located in the blue government section in the yellow pages. Complete information about HR 1248 and any legislation, current or otherwise, can be found on the Internet at http://thomas.loc.gov The sad reality is that MEChA and other groups that proclaim themselves to be victims are worthless organizations. I am a Mexican-American but I am also one who knows that living in the past isfruitless.MEChA claims to support and speak for Chicano views, but I am one Mexican-American who would like to say that they don't speak for me. My family has been living in the United States for over a century. My ancestors came to the U.S. legally around the 1890s and have been productive members of the nation since. My late grandfather fought in the Second World War. We have always regarded ourselves as loyal and proud Americans. Although I respect where I came from I am American first. Mexico happens to be the place where my ethnic group came from. MEChA and other organizations that dwell on past injustices from the U.S. and Europe are doomed because they cannot see that those who move on do succeed/It is easy to complain, but have you done anything tangible to improve the lives of Mexican-Americans? MEChA would be well advised to celebrate Cesar Chayez but not to praise people like Che Guevara. How can a group that wants justice support a man who helped turn Cuba into a repressive, terrorist-sponsoring state? I probably will be called a Twinkie because I do not support MEChA, and I accept that. It will only show how intolerant and shallow they truly are. I hope that when the next Cesar Chavez day rolls around we make it a truly diverse event with dances of all races and ethnic groups and keep the politics out. I think Cesar would have wanted it that way.

According to officials, several UCSD students researched the issue two years ago and found that UCSD admissions was using a system which made it mandatory for students to use Social Security numbers as identification. A few UCSD students complained about the policy, stating that it was against the law. This integrated student information system was implemented prior to the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 and therefore was not declared illegal. The usage of Social Security numbers for general ID purposes increases chances of the number being used fraudulently. One official in the registrar's offices at UCSD said, "A student came up to me and said that someone had gotten a hold of her Social Security number, and then used it to access her grades and tamper with her class schedule." In the proposal, the UCSD Associated Students quoted a US CourtofAppealscase (Greidinger vs. Davis)from1993which stated, "Armed with one's Social Security number, an unscrupulous person could obtain a person's welfare b enefits...order new checks at a new address on that person's checking account, obtain credit cards, or even obtain a person's paycheck." The Associated Students at UCSD were forced to make a "Student Privacy Proposal" to the registrar's office. The proposal allows students to change their Social Security numbers to nine digit random computer-generated ID numbers. The AS suggested implementing the new program at UCSD, giving random ID numbers to all new incoming students. The program was accepted and will begin in the fall of 1997 with the freshman class being the first at UCSD to be issued random ID numbers. A gradual "phase-in" of random ID numbers will be opted for continuing students in October 1996. According to Associated Students officials at UCSD, the proposed policy initially caused some problems. Registrar officials were worried about costs and said "the proposal was needed in order to cut down cost for making new ID cards." See ID, page 3 �Registration enters touch-tone era By Tone Barton News Editor Registration via telephone will be available for the first time at Cal State San Marcos for the s pring of '96 s emester. T he SMART system, which currently providesfinancialaid information over the phone, will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, excluding Sunday mornings, in place of a mail in registration form, which makes students wait up to five weeks for a response. C urrent s tudents will b e mailed a date and time after which they may register by phone. Telephone registration begins Nov. 15, with continuing students having priority registration times, and ends on Dec. 1. "(The SMART system) is convenient. You can call from home or the local bar or wherever, as long as you have a touch tone phone,w said Kathleen Fanella, the Associate Director of Admissions and Records. "Students are our clients. We want registration to be easy and convenient." • The system has been planned for for the last year primarily by Fanella, who was the project leader for touch tone registration at SDSU prior to coming to CSUSM, and Michael Yee, who dealt with the programming. Fanella plans to listen to student feedback after the first runthrough of the system this semester to search for possible improvements. "We want to make sure students get the classes they need," said Fanella. "(A voice response system) is something that most campuses have." Besides registration and finan- cial aid information, SMART also provides grades to students and will eventually make available admissions information, including status of applications. The SMART system can be reached by calling 750-FONE on a touch tone phone. Students having problems using the system can see admissions and records for assistance. First basketball season begins By Andrew Bailey Staff Writer The long awaited Cal State San Marcos intramural basket ball season kicked off Oct. 23 at Palomar College with eight teams in action. H ie games were played at the Palomar College Dome gymnasium and featured tight competition between the teams involved. The opening night of games was a success, according to Charles Ragland, Associated Students president. "We were very pleased with how the games turned out and our Director of Recreation K m Glaser and our Recreation Assistant Gabbi MacKenzie did a wonderful job oforganizing the event," he said. In thefirstnight's action, Team X defeated TKE, Team Green knocked off The Bulls, Team Dave got the win over H ie Hoopa-holics and SAE outlasted The Islanders. T he g ames went smoothly and everything was well organized, according to participants. "It was a lot of fun because I got to meet new people and I thought they did a good job organizing the games and everything. It looks like it will be a lot of fun," said participant Jon Dease. More good news is on the horizon for the intramural sports program at CSUSM. Arie de Jong of Hollandia Dairy agreed to donate funds for three-row bleachers to be used for events taking place out on the CSUSM field. He also is donating money to pay forfieldline markers, soccer goals with nets and the outdoor volleyball poles. The total donation comes to over $4,000. Basketball action resumes this Monday, Nov. 6 at the Palomar College Dome at 6 p.m. The Islanders take on TTie Hoop-aholiks, Team X battles Team Green, SAE challenges Dave and in the nightcap TKE faces The Dreamers and Bulls. League play will continue until Dec. 4, which is the conclusion of the regular season. This will be followed by the playoffs which start Dec. 11. Still more hoops on the way... Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) is holding its Three-on-Three Basketball Tournament Nov. 5, and more than 30 teams are expected to participate. Local businesses will sponsor teams for the tournament, and the event will take place at the San Marcos Gymnasium.

Photos by Trish Nagy ID Continued from page 1 "Someone once got a hold of my Social Security number, and tried to get some of my financial records using it," said one UCSD student who wished to remain annonymous. After that incident last year, she said she opted for a random ID number. Social Security numbers, if entrusted into the wrong hands, can be used to access credit card data, bank account data and other private information, and in the age of computer technology, concern about invasion of private information is a prevalent f ear. "People are becoming more cautious when giving out private information about themselves," said another UCSD s tudent While UCSD's student government has taken action concerning the use of Social Security numbers as identification, Cal State San Marcos AS President Charles Ragland indicated h e sees no need for a similar policy here. "Using Social Security numbers as identification numbers is not a major concern to students h ere a t CSU San M arcos," Ragland stated. "CSUSM offers students the option of changing their ID numbers to random ninedigit numbers, and very few students use this service. Replacing Social Security numbers with random numbers for IDs would not eliminate access to students' Social Security numbers because it is legally required on so many other documents. The AS will continue to aim its energy toward the major concerns of the student body. At this point, this is not one of them." Such an alteration of policy also is not needed since the campus is so new, according to an Admissions and Records official. Besides, CSUSM enrollment policies follow state law as it is, she explained. "CSUSM policies are in accordance with state law, and all 22 schools in the Cal State system follow the Title V Code, which is like the Bible for state education r equirements," a ccording to K athleen Fanella, a ssistant direcor for CSUSM Admissions and Records. "Some students feel that, for privacy's sake, they need to confidentialize their Social Security numbers, and that is an option that they can choose. All they have to do is come in to the Admissions and Records office and state that they would like to change their ID number to a random number." Scholarship available The Asian and Pacific Americans in H igher E ducation (APAHE) is offering a $500 dollar scholarship to an undergraduate or graduate student (enrolled at least half-time during the fall of 1996 semester).

This program is unique in that it does not focus on specific areas of exper- tise, but covers a wide range of business and management skills, according to program officials. According to officials, the new program puts a great deal of emphasis on the essential skills of 21st century business discipline. Diversity, ethics, intellectual cu- riosity, self-direction and technology skills are just some of the things taught in the program. Dr. Robert Black, the associate dean of the College of Business and head of the MBA program, said he feels the program is among the finest in preparing 1/31/961 ^ScTURiSlcoypoN ashes out In sharrp&os) - ^SSBSSSA • <p* "a*™"01 £< ' ^ JX tBoreas «SN- Center, P.O.

There are two options available in the program, Business Management pr Government Management. The Business Management option is designed for working professionals with several years of work experience and the Government Management option is targeted at entryto mid-level government managers with several years work experience. To e nter t he p rogram, a bachelor's degree is needed along with a GMATor GRE score, three professional recommendations and an application. Completion of the required 30 "option course" units and six Masters Project units are needed to graduate.

"The marketplace is showing that what employers want is people with broad educational and experiential backgrounds," h e explained. "We are providing just that to our students in the MBA program." With the constantfluxof technology and the global economy, the most important skill taught in the program would have to be the ability to adapt to change, he added. Black said the response from students towardstheprogramhas been substantial. "We had hoped for about 50 or 60 students," he said. The fledgling program now holds about 90 students. The program is rigorous but may be completed within 18 months. Classes are held every other week on Fridays and Saturdaysfrom8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. A number of different methods of approach to teaching the program will be administered by a staff of very high caliber, Black said.

"We are trying to provide a fundamental background in business and government manage- �Don't tread on us Fire is nothing DITORIAL One of the most important elements of American democracy is the freedom of the press. While government my not S S I always likewhatthe press has to report, the press's position as an additional "check" on government is extremely important Some members of the Associated Students government on campus seem to think otherwise. In the last two weeks, two members of the government body have made disturbing requests and unfair remarks concerning the relationship between The Pride and the AS. The first incident occurred when one member told Editor-inChief Roman S. Koenig that the student newspaper was essentially an "arm" of the student government because it provides some of the publication's funding. Thus, the AS has the right to demand a certain level of coverage in exchange for that support. Secondly, this officer hinted that Pride reporters were subjective in their articles and utilized "one-sided" sources. The second incident came a week later, when yet another officer left a phone message telling the staff that the AS had arranged to place a free advertisement by a local business in the newspaper as a "thank you" for their support of Make A Difference Day. Advertising space in this newspaper, of course, is the sole concern of The Pride's staff. While both incidents were diplomatically resolved last week with the addition of a page of news from the Associated Students, written by its officers, and provided as a public service of The Pride, the underlying attitudes that have surfaced are very disturbing. "Loyal opposition" is a pillar of democracy. No newspaper has an obligation to publish only the "happy news" of government If government officials are acting in a way that conflicts with democratic ideals, the press has a right and obligation to call them on it, just as The Pride is doing in this editorial. . Tradingfreead space in this newspaper without consulting its editorial staff is unacceptable. Accusations that The Pride is one-sided in its all-around coverage are unfounded. The editors and writers work their fingers to the bone to provide readers with a balanced and unbiased news report Opinions are reserved for the Opinion page. The only place where the press is an "arm" of government is in a totalitarian regime. This is 1995, not George Orwell's "1984." If elected student officials honestly believe that their support of a free press means they have the right to control it, and these people intend to be the future leaders of the United States, then the future looks very bleak indeed.

As a reporter, I have covered such events, and always I left the scene saddened and depressed. Fire. Just a few doors downfrommy home, a family lost their home to fire Oct. 30. They did not just lose a room, a quarter of the house, or even half. The building was a total loss, according to fire fighters on the scene — an empty, burned out shell. I stood in amazement that Monday afternoon as flames gutted the interior of the house. The faces of neighbors were grim. As much as we were in awe, we knew that the family who lived in the house, our fellow neighbors, would have to face a tragedy of the worst kind. As I watched the house burn, I thought of the fires my family had been through. My step-grandmother's garage. My aunt and uncle's apartment In both cases, the structures were total losses. It was nothing to smile about As the fire progressed that day, however, a different caliber of spectator joined the rest of us concerned onlookers. Those who brought their young children to marvel at the sight of tragedy. The parents came smiling, pointing out the smoke and flames as their children giggled. Would they be smiling when their house burned down? Would they want others to do so? Needless to say I was appalled, and that feeling was compounded when a woman with two children in a stroiler walked up and started shooting home video. What was she going to do with it? Would she sell it to a local television station? Was she the wife of one of the fire fighters, and taping the tragedy as a personal career memoir? It did not matter to me. I was upset enough at the destruction I was witnessing.

I was there that day as a concerned neighbor and not as a reporter, and I realized I felt the same way in either position. I hated covering such stories when I worked as a staff writer for The North County Blade-Citizen in 1991 because I felt the pain the families felt. I am not sure I can say the same thing for the smilers, the gigglers or the videotapers.

We feel that this illustrates a grossly unfair bias against the Greek organizations that undermine the integrity of the efforts of many fine young women and men who have made great sacrifice and took great care in setting the foundations for a successful Greek system at CSUSM. Since the university and Public Safety granted TKE permission to chalk the pavement, we feel confident that TKE did not participate in any activity that was in blatant defiance of university TTERS policy. TKE and the members of the CSUSM Greek community vehemently reject the author's comparison of the chalked letters of TKE, attributed to all of the Greek groups, to gang graffiti. In addition, we hardly feel it appropriate to liken the proud display of letters to, as the letter reads, "Christians paintinga huge cross and a bleeding Christ hanging on it as if the Ku Klux Klan had written anti-Semitic slogans on the blacktop." This comparison is an outrage and is a rather poor choice of words directed unfairly at an entire Greek system that combats negative stereotyping and anti-Greek sentiment on the CSUSM campus on a daily basis. To suggest that the chalking of the pavement illustrates favoritism towards TKE is both misguided and wrong. I am wondering if the author even bothered to check to see if CSUSM had granted TKE permission to display its letters.

While to the author of this letter the chalk represented "gang-style exhibition of machismo,w to many others it was a colorful addition to a bland campus that at first glance appears to have nothing going on. If the display of letters was so embarrassing to the author and the school, why did he choose to attack the Greek groupsafter the PowWow, which he seems to indicate was damaged by the display of letters? TKE certainly never intended to offend the campus community in proud display of letters and has willingly cleaned up the chalk. If anything, we feel it represents the pride the Greek system's members have taken in CSUSM becoming the university of the 21st century. The author has suggested that we do not care about the way in which the university is viewed by the community, students and faculty. It is tragically funny to me that the members of the Greek system at CSUSM, who are found guilty of disgracing the university in this letter, are never given credit for the hours of community service that each Greek organization enthusiastically performs in hope of changing the negative images and stereotypes levied against us routinely at GSUSM.

Dear Editor: There is a fine line that separates ideas and opinions. Formulated thoughts expressed as ideas border closely on personal views expressed as opinions. But there is a difference, often subtle, often a problem. The distinction is of extreme significance in the classroom. In a general sense the classroom is a marketplace of ideas and not a polling place for opinions. In the classroom the professor should have the same limitations in expressing those opinions as the students. Herein lies the problem. The teacher is in control of the classroom. There is a strong temptation for the one in charge to transgress thefineline between ideas opinions. It is easy to move from generally-held views to pre? conceived notions, to personal prejudices, favoritism, intolerance, even bigotry. Such biases can be rationalized as part of the educational process. They can be hidden within required reading assignments and class assignments which are graded. Biases expressed unilaterally by the instructor may become an unfair infringement upon s tudents' rightly-held beliefs. A guiding principle in teacher classroom performance is thatthe s tudent never knows t he instructor's personal opinion.

By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer Imagine what it must be like to come to a foreign country to study. You may or may not speak the same language, and if you do, it is with an accent In addition, the customs and ways of thinking are different, and blending in becomes quite a task. But there are advantages to such programs. The foreign student gets to experience a culture differentfromhis own, and he is able to go home with more knowledge of the outside world than he had before. Cal State San marcos offers such a program which brings students here from around the world, and from countries as diverse as the United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, Sweden and the Ivory Coast. Though the International Students program is small (14 students), Adviser Janice Bronson is confidentthatrecruitingwillpickupsteam, especially now that the university is a fouryear school. Before this semester, only international students transferred here from the local community colleges. "Beforehand, the international students (at CSUSM) had transferred here from local community colleges, so they already had a year or two to adjust," she Bronson. Martin Backlund is an international studentfromSweden who has been in the US since 1990 and at CSUSM since 1993. Backlundrecently graduated fromCSUSM with a double major in business and economics, and is now back for a master's program. Martin has an on-campus job and is very active on campus. Though he doesn't have much contactwith other international students, he helped to write The International Students Handbook in his first semester at CSUSM. Onfirstintroduction, one would be surprised to learn that he is from a nation halfway across the world. But after much discussion Backlund offers many insights on the similarities and differences between life in Sweden and life in California. For example, Sweden is a much more socialized country than the US, he said. While Swedes pay more in taxes, they feel the difference is made up in receiving Foreign exchange student shares insights more government services.

On the other hand, Backlund said, "There is more of a group mentality [in Sweden!. The motto is 'everything in moderation.' People are more accepting of the status quo. "In the United States, the individual is considered most important. Nothing is impossible here, and everything is a challenge." Backlund also enjoys the "customer service mentality in the United States," and the free rein students are given to pursue their studies and interests. Backlund said h e isn't sure if he and his wife (who is also Swedish) are going to stay in California, or return to Sweden after completion of his education. Either way, he says his life experiences here have 'In the United States, the individual is considered most important.

The purpose of the board is to act as patient advocates for the student population, to hear grievances, assess student needs and make recommendations regarding services offered and fees that may be charged. Board members also take an active role in promoting health education and participating in activities and events on campus and in the local community. Through various fund raising activities, the board sponsors selected member representatives to attend national health conferences. Last year, the board sent one member to the Pacific Coast College Health Association Conference (PCCHA) and sponsored one member to attend the American College Health Association Conference in Atlanta.

"We've been able to use music to share our faith and beliefs, and share our experiences through music," added James. Furler, who writes most of the band's music, collaborated with fellow Christian rocker SteveTaylor in writing lyrics to the album "Take Me to Your Leader." The title track is about how Christians should do more than use rhetoric. "I think a lot of times, people judge us by the way we lead our lives. If people can see a difference in us without having to open our mouths, I hope that will inspire people to come up to us and ask questions."

When he speaks and talks on stage and shares from his heart, that's the way h e is offstage," said James. In the course of the band's current tour, which has lasted for almost a year, the band visited the home of Rev. Billy Graham. "Itfreaked my brainsoutthatthis 'was just a normal guy who made himself available to help t he world, and encourage and inspire people with the gospel," said James, who fondly recalled the meeting. But for the Newsboys, James said he wants the band to be remembered for "being honest and true to what were called to do. Second, that people remember us as a band that was psycho— that we liked to have a good time on stage. Third, for people to enjoy our music and say we wrote good songs." Far from recording the group's last album, James said, "We've got a lot to say and I think we've got a few more albums in us yet." /^m -1 IKS Newsboys drummer Peter Fuller humorously plays to the audience. �SHAB Continued from page 9 Bob Rivera/Photo courtesy Tom Weir of Facility Services played Santa Clause at last year's candy hand-out. Season of sharing is coming Organizations come together to make holiday special Even though Halloween just passed us by, the winter holiday season is coming ever closer, and with it comes a Cal State San Marcos tradition. From 3 to 8 p.m. Dec. 18, members of Circle K club and Public Safety will hand outfreecandy to children living in apartment complexes on Autumn Drive in San Marcos. Thisyear will be the third for the event, according to Public Safety Officer Bob Rivera. Public Safety Chief Arnie Trujillo is responsible for getting the event started, Rivera said. Along with Circle K adviser Susan Buck of the CSUSM Testing Office, Circle K club and Rivera, the San Marcos Kiwanis Club is also helping out with the event After receiving candy donations from the campus commu- nity, members of the project (one dressed up as Santa Clause) go to the apartment complexes and hand out the candy to the children. This year s goal is to reach 2,000 children, explained Rivera. "When you see the faces of these kids, they come out of the woodwork," Rivera said. "We has a few mothers who were shedding some tears." Many of the families in the apartment complexes are single-parent households, mostly single mothers, he said. As part of the project, a Circle K-sponsored "AngelTree" will be placed in the Dome with 50 angels hanging from it, Rivera continued. Faculty and staff members will each pull an angel off the tree, and on the back side of the angel will be the name of a local child. Those who take angels will buy a gift for the children named on the other side. Three building complexes on campus will also adopt one family each for the holiday season, explained Rivera, who played Santa Clause for the first candy handout. Tom Weir of Facility Services played Santa last year. The three buildings charged with this task are Craven Hall, Facility Services and the complex on Rancheros Drive. Right now, candy donations are being s ought For information on donating candy or any other information regarding the event, call Rivera at7504562, Susan Buck at 7504966, or Amy Parsloe at 7504990.

Off campus events included the San Marcos Community Health Fair and the San Marcos Day of the Family. Currently the Student Health Fees Continued from page 5 "We're really conscious about students getting their money's worth," Ragland continued. There was also an additional $1,000dollars raised for programming at the Vendors Fair held in October. The vendors, different banks and businesses, each paid $175 for a spot in the fair. That money went to programming, according to Ragland. Board meets every Monday at noon in the Student Health Center library. All students are welcome to attend. The board consists of seven student members, two faculty advisors, one staff advisor and one medical advisor. The board executives are Leslie Joyce, chairwoman; Andy Greene, secretary; and Kris Johnson Scott, treasurer. Voting members include Holly Richmond, C raig C ostello, Sharolyn Goff, Ericha Ackerman and Daniel Arroyo. Dr. Fritz Kreisler and Professor Alex Durig serve as faculty advisors.

Woodward A self-audit of Parking Services conducted last spring along with a crowded upper faculty lot (Lot E) reveal much needed changes for CSUSM parking this year. The first group to feel these adjustments has been the "Special Medical" students of Lot E. Parking Services has changed their policy and will only issue two-week permits for students with minor injuries, for example. For anything more than two weeks, the student must have their doctor's approval to obtain a special or permanent permit from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). "We used to receive over 100 applications. But since we changed our policy, w e've only had about 8-10 requests," notes Robert Williams, Parking Services Office Manager. Both Williams and Parking Coordinator Dora Knoblock acknowledge that this response indicates that there may have been. some abuses of the system in the past. The Roger Hedgecock radio program aired live from the CSUSM Dome patio on Wednesday, October 27, from 3 to 6 pm. Approximately 50 students, faculty, and staff members gathered on the patio to listen to and to take part in the 3-hour broadcast. Roger Hedgecock, KOGO AM 600 radio show host, and former mayor of San Diego, interviewed several notable people from the San Marcos campus and community. PRIDE EDITOR Vendors for the university like copy repair services do not pay for the parking in the upper faculty/staff lot. The one exception, Aztec Shops, will retain their parking privileges in Lot E because they are the only vendors who do pay for parking permits. Of the 16 teaching associates on campus, 7 have faculty/staff permits, 6 have student permits, and 4 have none, as of Oct. 28. In response to the recent GEW faculty parking grievances, Knoblock noted, "If we extend parking privileges in Lot E towards the GEW faculty, we would have to do the same for all 16 teaching associates, and not just those seven." (Other research by Parking Services points directly to the State Controller iji the Chancellor's Office where teaching associates are not considered nor recognized as "faculty") Williams and Knoblock also spoke of the future of Parking Services in terms of more lots. Parking Services hopes to relieve some of the strain by opening a new lot behind Lot E by Fall 2000. The area behind .FCB will hopefully be leveled, quarried down by the aggregates company to the level of the current upper faculty lot.

What started as a halfhour time slot between 5:00pm 5:30pm was extended to the show's end at 6pm as Dean of Education, Steve Lilly relinquished his scheduled interview in favor of the students.

Marks called the student newspaper a "tabloid," and stated that The Pride reports campus events unfairly. He claimed that he had "a petition against the Pride" filled with 200 signatures. Naholowaa and Cahill responded by encouraging Marks to write letters to the Editors or articles for the paper. Marks refused, stating that he "wouldn't write for a tabloid" and would rather submit to a better paper like the North County Times. A member of the audience, Juniata Greenlee, took the microphone and said that YAF was encouraging students to sign a petition without properly explaining what the petition was for. She also said, "You can call the Star a tabloid, but I 've looked through the paper, and it isn't a tabloid." College Republican Michael Sannella had also wanted to know why student clubs must pay high ad rates for space in the See Hedgecock pg. 4 A crowd quickly gathered around the stage as soon as the 5:00pm newsbreak concluded and Hedgecock was back on the air.

"Hey, blondie," one of the men said, provocatively, touching her hair. "We're going to take you home with us," the other one said, moving closer. "Get away from me," she yelled, before one of the men grabbed her from behind, and she began to defend herself. This scenario could have ended tragically in sexual assault or murder, except that the two men were CSUSM police officer Mario Sainz and SDSU Police Captain Steve Williams, and the woman was a student in the Rape Aggression Defense, or R.A.D., class. At the R.A.D. graduation on October 22, the students demonstrated their skills against their instructors in three progressively more intense scenarios designed to simulate possible real-life situations. ous situations, she said.

"It took you out of a controlled environment and tested your skills," he said, and their skills were equal to the task. Watching the women demonstrate their new skills, it was clear that they had become formidable opponents for any potential attacker. One person watching the simulations commented as she watched the mother-daughter duo successfully defend themselves, "I feel sorry for the guy who breaks into their house." �OPINION 2 Monday, November 1, 1999 Parking and the CSUSM Mission Statement. I have no doubt that the group of grad students who TEACH GEW classes are in fact TEACHers. The two letters to the editors from GEW teachers provide more than sufficient evidence that they in fact teach. However, I do not agree with the logic used for stating that they should have the ability to park in the staff lot. The logic given is that they have a great deal of material to carry, and should be able to park closer to their classes* so they do not have to carry their heavy load very far. If this is the reason for having special parking privileges; permits to the upper parking lot should be given out by backpack weight, not status as a teacher or student. Furthermore, as teachers, they have access to offices, where they may leave their belongings and class materials, significantly reducing the amount that they must carry; students do not have that luxury, which suggests that students should have the upper lot, and teachers should be relegated to the furthest parking spaces. Certainly as college teachers they are smart enough to figure how to manage the loads they must carry through; multiple trips to their car, using a luggage cart like many students have already figured out to do, or using their office as storage units, and the staging grounds for preparing for class that they are intended to be. Clearly the reason for separate parking for staff and students is not due to the distance from parking lot to classroom or the weight of class materials, but to provide faculty and staff with special privilege and status not afforded to students. This is in direct violation of CSUSM's mission statement (http://www.csusm.edu DEAR EDITORS: DEAR EDITORS: /mission statement.html). The mission statement states, "CSU, San Marcos promotes a collegia! relationship between students and faculty. . The word collegial means to be "characterized by equal sharing of authority" and the separation of students and staff into the privileged and unprivileged in terms of something as simple as parking contributes to inequality and therefore an unequal relationship. Either the parking lots at CSUSM should be open to everyone regardless of their status as student, staff, faculty, visitor; or the mission statement should be revised to reflect the administration's preferential treatment of staff, rather than the students for which the campus exists to serve. d jl Gonzalez for President Alexander Gonzalez has what it takes to be President of the United States. As reported by Samantha Cahill in The Pride's October 18th issue; Gonzalez, on October 11th, indicated that it could not be determined if the vandalism of Science Hall was aimed at the poster of Che Guevara. Then when questioned further, he stated that he did not know if the paint and egg would have been on the building had the poster not been there. Gonzalez is right, there is no way for him to know if the vandalism of Science Hall was related to the poster being there, or if it simply was a coincidence that the poster was there when the vandalism took place, in the location the vandalism took place. Furthermore the fact that a poster of a man who represents an unpopular and hated ideology was vandalized at the same time as Science Hall does not necessarily .mean that the poster was the cause of the vandalism. It simply may have been in the way of the intended vandalism, and it is a coincidence that the vandalism took place on a part of the building where there was a poster hanging. Gonzalez clearly has demonstrated the ability to be technically accurate when questioned about controversial current events, just as Bill Clinton did when questioned by Kenneth Starr in regards to his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Bill Clinton's popularity has increased since that event, and I 'm sure that Gonzalez would be at least as successful and popular given his similarities to President Clinton.

Unlike most films dealing with the relationship between man and nature, Mononoke Hime does not oversimplify nature-destroying humans as one-dimensionally evil.

Craig's own wife, Lotte (Cameron Diaz), views him as little more than a pet sitter, while in the meantime Maxine (Catherine Keener), his obsession-at-first-sight, turns "using" a man into a fine art. Then one day, as it must, Craig's luck begins to change. He discovers a mysterious door that leads directly to a portal into the mind and body of John Malkovich. With a little practice, Craig learns to manipulate Malkovich as he would a puppet. For the first time in his life, Craig nibbles on the edges of success, only to find that its sweetness lingers for a moment, then is gone. Though flawed with gaps, the film is both funny and grotesque, and it is filled with surprising performances, especially John Malkovich's brilliant portrayal of himself. Not quite Science Fiction nor Fantasy, the film works best when it doesn't try to explain itself. Of course the viewer must suspend reality to accept that a portal into another human being's body and mind can exist, and I had no problem with that. I did have a problem with the distracting, second-rate-science-fiction explanation for the portal given towards the end of the movie. The final quarter almost ruins the film, but not quite. I recommend Being John Malkovich, but with a wince. Rated R.

There are about fifty members between the cross-country teams and track combined, and their ages range from 17 to 26. The team is guided by Head coach Steve Scott, CrossCountry coach Joe Keating, and Track coach Wess Williams. Only in its first year of existence, CSUSM has the best college track and cross-country teams in San Diego County, according to Scott. At the recent Stanford Invite, the women's team finished 15 out of 31 schools, and the men finished 8 out of 25. Scott commented: "there was a lot of competition there, and it was a difficult course. There were a lot of top^ teams competing." Right now, CSUSM is ranked 13 in NAIA competition. Scott says that in the future the school Simon Frasier is "our competition" because they will compete in Regionals against CSUSM. Scott says that the men have a really good chance of making Nationals this year. The Imani Rupert CSUSM men's soccer team is finally here. Khled Al-shafie coaches the team and captains Tony Zepeda and Fernando Diaz. Al-shafie also coaches for the Vista Storm (a youth soccer league) and the San Pasqual High School team. Team member Randy Erman, is also the ASI Arts and Sciences representative, and had helped start the soccer team. When asked about the soccer team, Erman said, "They're a great group of guys.

He argued that lower-priced text books could be available by requiring professors to submit book requests earlier, reducing rush fees and back-orders, and DeGuzman noted that many state governments do not place sales tax on student books, an initiative that would save students some money if California would ever consider such a policy. The panel, introduced by DeGuzman, consisted of President Karen Haynes, University Provost Robert Sheath, Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Neal Hoss, Interim Vice President of Student Affairs Pat Worden and CSU Student Trustee Corey Jackson. The purpose of the event was intended to inform students, faculty and staff of the current conditions of campus life and its forecast for upcoming years.

These reports give information on crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off campus buildings, or property owned or controlled by Cal State San Marcos, and on public property within. According to Woodward, the report also includes institutional poli- ADDRESS,frompage 1 her speech promoting academic excellence, student life, campus atmosphere, partnerships and fairness at Cal State San Marcos. Reflecting on short and long term campus goals, President Haynes hopes that "Cal State San Marcos will be known for its retention of graduation rates and student satisfaction." CSUSM has already implemented a reduced degree requirement to 120 units to be eligible for graduation, and plans to further adopt pro-retention rate polices by encouraging students to declare their major earlier on in a student's academic career^ providing detailed academic roadmaps and improving counseling services to students. President Haynes focused most of her time to issues surrounding the enhancement of student life on campus through expanding residence halls, athletic programs and creating a one-stop shop for students in Craven Hall. The third floor of Craven Hall is being converted into a one-stop shop, with admissions, cashier office, enrollment, The Pride staff office and other student services, all located in one general area. The courtyard located on the third floor, formerly known as the Library Plaza, will be renamed 'Cougar Courtyard' and be a designated area to host events and festivities on campus.

Our legacy will and should be built on the student satisfaction experience here on our campus," concluded President Haynes. Academic Blueprint "We are now planning for a new college," said Robert Sheath, university provost. New degree programs are being introduced in upcoming semesters at CSUSM. Kinesociology and Biotechnology are among the new degree programs that were initiated in Spring and Fall 2005. Occupational Therapy, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Mass Media and Broader Studies, Environmental Studies and a Speech Therapy degree will be offered in Fall 2006 through the College of Education and Business Administration will soon offer two areas of emphasis in either Finance or Marketing. 'Cranovations' and campus services Neal Hoss, vice president of Finance and Administrative Services, asked for campus "patience in moving a lot ofpeople around," in response to the so-called !cranovations\ (craven renovations). In development of this student one-stop shop, mentioned early by President Haynes, Hoss explained how a website is being I'm constructed to help students familiarize themselves with the Craven changes. "We are reworking how we interact with students," said Hoss. Cranovations will allow students to easily access fundamental university services without having to refer to directories or weave through Craven Hall. In addition, Parking Services has recently opened Lot H welcoming in 111 spaces, and in Fall 2006, Lot F is scheduled t o open with 1200 to 1600 spaces. In the year 2010-2011 a parking structure will be built to accommodate 2000-2700 vehicles. These expansions are funded solely on a past-student approved initiative to* increase parking fees to develop more parking spaces. The second installment of that prior student vote, will be implemented in Spring 2006, affecting parking permit costs going from $35 a month to $75 a month, mentioned Hoss. Such fee increases are a result of how parking funding is only supported through student fees and no other funds can be diverted to subsidized parking costs. Touching base on Police issues, Hoss reported that the University Police, Department is working on' communicative strategies focusing on addressing and implementing the services outlined by the investigative Task Force. Escort services are now available through the police department, and soon a new crime tips sex crimes are violations of criminal and civil law, and never tolerated.

Student Code of Conduct Pat Worden, interim vice president of Student Affairs, discussed the changes to Title V dealing with Student Code of Conduct. Title V has not been updated in ten years, but with new definitions of misconduct the original 14 categories have been expanded to 20 categories detailing student misconduct policies. Worden explained how the definition of dishonesty was broadened to include cheating, academic plagiarism, falsification of information, misrepresentation and falsifying documents. All of these topics are mentioned in the terms of the new Title V. Hazing has been clarified to differentiate 'customary athletic events' from true acts of hazing. The new policy precludes defense ofwillful participation, apathy or failure to intervene as charges of student misconduct. Title V also includes the misuse of computers from unauthorized use,filetransfers, violation of copyright laws and use of equipment to transmit abusive messages or hatemail as all being classified as student C SU Student Trustee at C SUSM Corey Jackson, California State University student trustee, drove 104 miles to address the many issues in CSU, primarily the current issue of funding. "It's important to understand we're under-funded due to state budget troubles," Jackson said. "Higher education needs to be a priority in our state. Higher education relies on how much we're willing to sacrifice to ensure that our voices are being heard. Aré we going to give more for a greater good, or maintain status quo?" Final Words The State of the Campus Address happens annually with the focus being to educate and inform students, faculty and staff on the current policies, services and planning for the campus.

Sgt. Flores, officer in charge of the ride along program, showed me around the station upon arrival. We toured their locker and break rooms, and even took a look at the infamous breathalyzer. Officer Hernandez of the University Police showed me how the device operated, as well as how to perform the state-required routine testing of the machine itself. After a look at some of the numerous types of forms and paperwork, I went with Sgt. Flores toward the squad cars. The particular car we looked at came equipped with plastic backseats, which Sgt. Flores said "eliminates the possibilities of suspects hiding contraband in the cushions of the seats." Along with the numerous safety and road objects in the trunk of the car, the dashboard and center console had been turned into a huge radio, in which the U.P. was able to obtain signals from all over the greater San Diego Region. By seven o'clock I met the officer I'd be riding with. Officer Troy Holmes greeted me in the lobby of the building and we quickly went to his squad car to prepare for the night shift. At the beginning of each shift Officer Holmes inspects the vehicle to ensure that all lights and functions perform properly, this includes unloading, inspecting, and reloading the shotgun. After contacting dispatch, Holmes explained that we were going to "check the campus, the beat check, and make sure nothing is out of the ordinary." We patrolled the campus, and unlocked a door for a student in need of a late night recording room. Back on the streets, we made our first stop, pulling over a truck that made an illegal Uturn on Twin Oaks Valley Rd. After approaching the vehicle and talking with the driver, Holmes returned to the squad car to retrieve his Citation book. He issued the man a citation, who had confessed that he had seen the sign. Later Holmes noted that it was a "posted sign and he didn't obey it," that it is "our job is to provide a safe environment for the community" and when the driver veered across lanes it was clearly a risk to fellow motorists. The second stop was rather amusing. After seeing two men standing in the road, we noticed a San Marcos Sheriff parked up the street, watching them.

Long / The Pride drove up and asked what the deal was. Apparently the men had run their car off the road, and it had required a tow. Before it was taken, however, the two men had scrambled to grab boxes full of pornography out of the back. After the towing service left the men then spilled the box of pornography while attempting -to carry it across the street. Pornography was scattered across the streets of San Marcos as the two men raced to pick it up. We exited the scene leaving any further involvement up to the discretion of the San Marcos Sheriffs. Two more routine stops were made throughout the rest of the ride along, both for broken tail lights. Holmes said "it's a slow night tonight, you should have been here Thursday, we had our hands full." Afterwards, Holmes dropped me off to continue the rest of his twelve hour shift. Overall it was a great experience. The University Police are doing their best to enforce the law in a safe and fair manner, not simply issuing tickets. Officer Holmes, Sgt. Flores and the rest of the staff of the University Police are helping to create a safe and positive campus for us to attend, and help spur the growth and development of the school as a whole. I'd encourage students to help them by being safe and understanding the law.

Cal State San Marcos was the only university that the trailer set up during the four day "On the Way to the Cure" tour. The Komen Foundation local San Diego affiliate is wrapping up a four day tour in southern California according to Katie Parker, community outreach director. The foundation handed outflyersand postcards. In the trailer there were laptops set up for people to view instructional videos on how to detect breast cancer. "Early detection of breast cancer saves lives and is not a death sentence," said Parker. The trailer had an estimated 150 visitors in a three hour time period. Parker went on to explain how signing up on their Web site will keep students up to date on issues in Congress that concern breast cancer funding. The trailer was set up with laptop computers that played videos on how to detect early signs of breast cancer. The videopBSE Brest SelfExam, can be found at the main website for the Komen Foundation, www.komen.org. The video covers the basics of self exam and ways to Photo by Patrick B. Long / The Pride feel for lumps during an exam. It states that women should perform monthly exams starting at the age of 20. The exams should be done the same time every month and preferably right after the menstrual cycle. "Most people know us from Komen Race for the Cure®. But, since we began in 1982, the Foundation and its Affiliates have raised more than $300 million for breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. It is credited as the nation's leading catalyst in the fight against breast cancer," said the San Diego Komen Foundation Web site, www.sdkomen.org. Nationally, the Komen Foundation sponsors annual walks and a fundraiser to help raise awareness and funding for breast cancer. Seventy-five percent of money raised in San Diego stays here, according to the Web site. There is a "Race for the Cure" event scheduled for Nov. 6.

Tennis player Martina Navratilova is probably the most notable female athlete to say she likes women. I am just waiting for the first male athlete to say he likes dudes so that this topic can soon go away, because I am sick of discussing it. If you can ball on the court I don't care if you do or don't play with another dude's balls at home. And, for those of you who have already started to write an angry e-mail, even if you can't ball I don't care what your orientation is. CSUSM Women's Golf Places 11th at Monterey Bay The women's golf team landed in 11th place October 25,2005, at the Golf Mart/Lady Otter Invitational, hosted by Cal State Monterey Bay at the Fort Ord Golf Course in Seaside. The course is 73-par, 5,957-yards. The Cougars had a two-round score of689 (346343). Twenty teams competed. Anyways, the one thing that does interest me about this whole topic is that Swoopes brings up the whole debate about whether or not people are born gay or turned gay. Swoopes said that she was not born gay but, rather, became gay. She was married to a man at one point and has a child. This fascinates me because as a straight guy I have no perspective on this and I always hear different takes on it. I guess it's one of those questions that will never be answered, like what came first, the chicken or the egg? The one thing that I don't want to se8 happen as a result of this is to see Swoopes with a book and movie deal. I wouldn't be surprised, because others have capitalized after their announcements.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer One thing we know about the Big Seven, apart from all leading to physical, mental or emotional satisfaction, is that after Avarice and Gluttony prove too costly, Pride and Wrath too timely, and Lust and Envy too likely to be guilty virtues; an idle hand remains the favored tool. And who can blame Old Scratch for letting the nails pound themselves in? And goodness knows there can be counted, among the faithful and dead, plenty who envision Paradise as a place free of toil, with hardly anyone on their feet, hardly anyone at all. We can't draw our dualism pistols just yet though, not till we've truly examined the thrice-saluted snooze button, the reclined request, and the time killed, butchered every which way to get out of kitchen duty. We have to dig the root of one tree before we can jam the fruit of the other, and what better vantage point to start than the hammock swaying serene between addictive personalities, and personal medication. Let's start with me, I'll subject myself to your stares. After all, it's been said (usually by those spoiled by their own good looks) that 'shy' people are merely selfish, Indeed, couldn't the same be said, and with greater ease to boot, of those 'slackers', those lie-abouts, those lethargic leisure leeches? The power in the term 'Lazy' is really not so passive-aggressive, nor so counterproductive as one might think. I've used it on myself countless times, both as a way to turn a subscription into an ailment, and to preserve my Avarice with a little prodded Pride. Sometimes, it works, others, I don't. Make no mistake; I like being productive, I like the rush of achievement and the glow of study. The danger and the problem and the life of it is: Sloth isn't the denouncement of work, but the avoidance, the replacement of work. And the best way to do that is with other work. Study a page or screen other than the one assigned. Improve the high score rather than balance the budget. The danger is that wolfish indulgence can become sheepish diversion, a soothing white wash till you smell the clean bleach burn-away, till you realize how easily, how Easy for how Quick and Strong, how something from almost no effort becomes something with absolutely no interest, and seemingly no escape. You're still in the game, but you've left the zone You've reached Nirvana ...but you're still in your rotting body. This gentle slothe is a deadly decline, not because it's slippery, but because we're either water seeking the path of least resistance, or fire dying to consume-propagate everything, all the while fancying ourselves as rising steam. The trick is not to get caught up contemplating womb re-creation retreats," or buying poverty as a symptom of laziness like affluence as a symptom of nobility. Ask yourselves why most people want money so that they can not worry about it, while those who have it want it so that they can get more of it. Ask yourself, when next someone slaps your idle hand, if they're more worried you'll forget the value of their employment, or that you'll realize the value of your time. There's no great mystery behind our unmotivated-epidemic. In fact, it likely has more to do with efficiency than lethargy. Even ifthe average American is reading, voting, and generally thinking less, they're realizing that they're still working more, but that half the effort often gets the same results. One by one we're noticing that, despite loving our bootstraps so much more than the rest of the world (that place where we get our stuff and citizens), 'self-made fortune' still sounds like an oxymoron. Little by little people, who need less money to retire than their boss needs to feel like the boss, are realizing that "I don't want to" isn't half so scary as "why should I". To everyone understandably insulted, or otherwise threatened by my lack of regard for their ambition, their awesome and oh so rare desire to special, I've an offer you can't refuse. Take a moment to wonder if you're half the boss you think you are, another moment for the opposite implication of that question, and yet another to thank the masses for not being 'hard-working' enough to have made your ascent that much more unlikely. The only trick now is to make them feel indebted to you, more interested in your sadly limited money rather than their currently limited time. That's right. Currently. You see, the more time we 'kill' the more valuable time becomes, the less satisfied we are with 80 years to spend when it seems we need at least 20 to waste. Perhaps, on an ambitious note, if doctors cured our lifespan first, they'd have the time to cure the rest. Naturally, there's no end in sight to the majority held by those who want to live, but mostly die, supernaturally. But surely they must realize that pious knees can also benefit from more time allotted to lazy asses and big heads. I believe it was the "Screwtape Letters" in which a Demon instructed his nephew on how to bring about a man's fall by convincing him that his time was his own. Give credit where you will for what you Will, but ask yourself: does the signature on your paycheck appear on all your waking hours? Perhaps we'll never see the day when everyone takes pride and sometimes money in all the work and play they do. Maybe we don't deserve to. It's equally possible, however, that instead of taking vacations from our 925s and GPAs, we might give our toil some time in the numbbubble, and be hurt rather than herded by the spectacle of those who would long for the days when they could live like a slaves^ officially. Even if it costs us our love affair with the Last Minute or our dream of having enough to be afraid that someone higher will give it to someone lesser, try taking the carrot off the stick, impaling it with the pin on your easy chair, and take stock of how much of you has been made under your terms, on your time. We're all afraid of a wasted investment, but the roots of your boredom and unsatisfying exhaustion need your water a lot more than your need their fruit. Student voices opinion on ASI I must say that on behalf of all of the prudish conservatives on campus, I laugh in the face of ASI and the campus in general. First, we've got the University Hour. I understand that ASI wants us to live on a commune, but for those of us that have to work for a living, a big chunk out of my time doesn't exactly work for me. Why not let us be pro-choice? If I want to get involved, I will. Why force me to do something I don't want to? Don't push your beliefs on me, ASI! It's hard enough getting by, but having to rearrange everything just so I can build some relationships with people that I don't really get along with isn't all that appealing to me. Second, for a campus that promotes diversity, I again must laugh; Michael Moore, Chariot the Harlot, and coming soon, Peter Camejo. Why is it that when conservatives come, there is a panel discussion, yet when it's a liberal pushing their ideals, they just get to "lecture"? Honestly, I have no problems with lunatics like Michael Moore speaking; he only embarrasses himself. However, when my fees go to pay for these loonies like Camejo, I should at least get someone from the other side. In a case like this, I must ask: "Where's Ann Coulter, Michael Medved, Dick Morris, Sean Hannity?" Where is ASI to raise thousands of dollars to bring one of them to speak? Answer: no where. I understand college kids are supposed to be bleedingheart liberals, but I'm more coldhearted. I don't support the values of ASI, and I don't support the foolish decisions they push. For those of you reading this and find me crazy, just remember that when you are mugged by reality, I told you so.

Yet through ibis odd a rcane-: 'Bewfi,*: m-COMM 316, One student's experience in the Katrina aftermath So one of my professors told me I was an enigma . . . I'm not sure exactly what he meant - am I a completely puzzling person to him? Quite possibly, after all, my mother's spent a great deal of her life trying to figure me out, unsuccessfully (one day she will give up). The latest puzzle piece was a trip I t ook... to a disaster site, in Slidell, LA. I don't find it that puzzling, but I guess many people do. For me, sleeping in a condemned hotel; on the floor in a ballroom with 60 complete strangers (many of whom snored) and sharing one shower... well, what can I say? It was an awesome use of my vacation time. I took this trip because I could; I had the necessary support from my bosses, co-workers, professors, family, friends, and neighbors. T also had vacation time on the books and a free round trip airline ticket in pocket. What I did was volunteer,my time in support of an organization that is central to the relief efforts going on in Slidell, LA. That organization is Noah's Wish. Noah's Wish is a unique animal welfare organization dedicated exclusively to rescuing and sheltering animals in .disasters. I became affiliated t with Noah's Wish three years ago and am a "trained volunteer". In some disasters the shear size of the disaster warrants bringing on board what we call Convergent Volunteers: Individuals who are not already trained. In Slidell the ratio of convergent volunteers per trained volunteers was perhaps , 10 to 1. After the initial 24-hours I was suddenly a leader (you learn fast!) then 2-days later I was in charge of a whole area; rSbbits and birds, a total of 47 animals. When I went (Oct 5-15) the volunteer pool was constantly changing, one day there were 60 of us, the next 30, (The animal count hovered around 950) and that's how things work in a disaster. One day everything's great - lots of volunteers, some- one finds ice available for sale, the temperature stays below 90, no one gets injured and all the cleaning is done by early afternoon. I experienced about 4 of those day& On other dayp the temperature kept climbing, the convergent volunteers had to go back to their lives, there were no cold drinks . . and people got injured. But through it all are the animals - that's why I went. There were families coming in looking for lost p ets... and finding them, there were people visiting their pets daily (their homes were destroyed), and there were still animals coming in. Few were actual rescues, many were strays found by neighbors and citizens, and some even came from other operations that were shutting down. Noah's Wish has been onsite since August 31 and currently plans to remain until midNovember. In the next week the 60-day hold on animals will be lifted (this was set to allow owners adequate time to reclaim their animals) and they will be available for adoption. Some will be placed into long-term foster care with approved foster homes These animals belong to people who will not be able to return to their homes any time soon. Many more have, sadly, been abandoned. These animals will be adopted. Already adoption applications are on file for many of them. Most of the animals that were surrendered by residents have already been adopted.* In fact, I adopted a kitten and brought her home with me. I've named her KC Squeaks . . . it's short for Katrina Gat and well, she doesn't meow, she squeaks. She will be my daily reminder of how lucky I have it here! The sights of devastation, the tired expressions on resident's faces and the smell will be with me for a long-time. But so will the feelings of joy as people and animals were reunited. I made some new friends while volunteering in Slidell; there is a common bond between animal advocates. And my final thoughts on the matter? Going into the disaster was filled with frustrations, fear, and challenge but the rewards for me would be unobtainable in any comfortable situation. If you have a compassion for animals and think you might want to assist Noah's Wish in the future check out the website and attend a Volunteer In-Field Training. If, after camping out for 3days and wrestling with goats, geese, cats, dogs, bunnies, and or snakes etc . . . you still think you have what it takes, .then go for it! Your perspective will change - you will grow - and you never know, maybe you'll meet your husband/wife/significant other there, not that I did, but you might!

You're with us or against us! These two statements may sound like hyperbole that President Bush said concerning terrorism or perhaps hyperbole from 2004 Presidential candidate John Kerry during the 2004 Presidential campaign: however, these statements are not from this ^decade. The two statements were said in one-way or another during Franklin Roosevelt's tenure as President revealed by the exposé, FDR: The Other Side of the Coin by Former New York Senator Hamilton Fish III. The book chronicles Fish's numerous disagreements with the Roosevelt administration, chief among them, the refusal to prevent Hitler's invasion of Poland during the Danzig Crisis. What, if any, connection does this have with the lives of CSUSM students?- The book invites its readers to closely examine preconceived notions about FDR's presidency and his effectiveness as well as preconceived notions about cxirrent administration policies. Using these same principles of reexamining past events and historical figures, we can apply the same to the present administra- tion. The only difference being that in FDR's time, the Internet and 24-hour news channels didn't exist in its current form. Following both the Sept. 11 attacks and the War on Iraq, several informational sources, books, and documentaries have called into question the prevailing wisdom about the administration's policies, event timeline, and various political figures. Fish provides evidence that following the attack on Pearl Harbor; he had come to find out that the Japanese repeatedly asked the United States and Roosevelt to accept Japanese surrender in the months leading to Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt refused their surrender and essentially forced the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor on December 7 ,, 1941. In relation to present day, several reports including the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's report on Weapons of Mass Destruction reporting during the lead-up to the Iraq Invasion and the 9-11 Commission's report surfaced that contradicts evidence table: History is not completely given during and immediately written in stone, it must be scrufollowing Pearl Harbor, Septem- pulously verified, checked, and This book ber 11 and the War on Iraq.

Pride Staff Writer /Capote' is the telling of how Four members of the Clutter Capote researched and developed family were shot to death Nov. 14, his novel. The murders and trial 1959, in their home in Holcomb, took Capote 6 years to capture in Kansas. The murders brought his book. The ordeal drained him attention to the small town and emotionally and physically. a nation wide man hunt for the Famous for his novels, which killers of this well-liked Midwest included 'Breakfast at Tiffany's, family. he used his fame to move about From New York City came Holcomb and into the lives of the Truman Capote, an author and small town citizens. columnist for 'The New Yorker' When the two murderers, Perry magazine.

In his opinion, are caught, Capote involves himthere was a human interest story self in their trial and their senin the lives turned upside down tence. from the murders. Eventually, the The movie is character-based Images courtesy of Sony Classics i nc o l d b l o o d and follows Phillip Seymour Hnd follows CPhillip in eymour a offman as apote Sa well acted role. He doesn't just play Capote, he becomes him. Capote was a flamboyant character who flaunted his dandy character, even in the small town of Holcomb. He is soft spoken but speaks his mind and is direct in everything he says and asks for. Clifton Collins Jr. does an excellent job playing Perry Smith, a well spoken criminal who captivates Capote. Smith seems to pull Capote in with charm and grace to give the appearance of not-guilty. His endless charm pulls Capote's personal life apart and drove him to drink. Chris Cooper plays Kansas Bureau of Investigation Agent' Alvin Dewey. Dewey was a personal friend of the murdered Mr. Clutter and has a personal grudge against the men who committed the heinous crimes. After Capote helps find better lawyers for the two, Dewey tells him that if they get off, he will hunt him down. The direction was the second finest attribute of the film. It felt like a Norman Rockwell painting with everybody seemingly enjoying the Americana lifestyle of the Midwest and big city. This backdrop gives more impact to the bloody scenes of the murdered family and how uncommon it was in the late 1950s of the Midwest.in the late 1950s of the Midwas The only trouble with the movie is the genre. I expected a true crime movie, but it was a nonfiction based on Capote's point of view of the murders and trial. Smith's eloquence and charm, as portrayed by Capote, is questionable. Capote seems to begin a romantic relationship with Smith as he visits him in prison and listens to Smith's personal history. This relationship almost seems to be a part of Capote's imagination and it is unclear if Smith is manipulating him. I have read that the book 'In Cold Blood' was to serve two purposes. One was to show the lives of the town in the wake of the murders and to stand against capital punishment. If the movie had the same agenda, it didn't succeed for me. As scenes of violence against the family were flashed on the screen in memory fragments, I felt no sympathy for the two sentenced men. This movie is not for everybody and is probably why it is showing in a limited number of theaters. Iin a ou enjoyumber of theatc f y limited n character-based movies with little action but great acting, then this is your movie. If you only see blockbuster actions movies on the big screen, then wait for video to see "Capote". I expect that Hoffman will at least be nominated for Best Actor, if not win it. Then the movie will probably be released wide. It has a tendency to be slow and Capote is a hard character to listen to for two hours but Hoffman delivers it with style. f or t h e h olidays'?

This holds true in "The Legend of Zorro." You will remember in the original, "The Mask of Zorro", we were embraced with romance, revenge and goofball humor. Now everything has been replaced with a farfetched plot, dumb characters and never ending fight sequences that by the 100thflip,punch, kick and thrust of the sword that I yawned. The farfetched plot: Don Alejandro de La Vega a.k.a. Zorro (Antonio Banderas) saves the voting ballot for California to enter the Union as a free state from tampering by Jacob McGivens(Nick Chinlund) and his goons. He returns home where his wife Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and son Joaquin (Adrian Alonso) expect him to fulfill his promise to retire. Alejandro refuses. Elena divorces him and confides in Armand (Rufus Sewell), a French vineyard owner. Apparently, Armand is apart of a secret knighthood that has developed a powerful explosive to use against the US. Image courtesy of Sony Pictures Alejandro salvages his relationship with his son while trying to win back his wife and uncovering Armand's agenda. Wow he's a busy guy! The dumb characters: Elena, once attracted to Alejandro's charm, has become demanding. What does she want from him? She never says. We're left clueless. Joaquin admires Zorro for his bravery but despises his father. He mimics Zorro and even helps uncover the plot. Whats confusing is that a small boy, with that much intelligence, isn't able to determine that Zorro is his father. He has seen both men up-close and heard their voices but still doesn't realize the truth. The villains, Jacob and Armand, look and act like villains, do nothing out of the ordinary and therefore are not interesting. The never ending fight sequences: they take place on/in trains, mountains, cliffs, farms, mansions, horseback, town square, etc. By the looks of it, they've exploited every location in the old west. I will admit the fight sequences are impressive. Stunt Coordinator Gary Powell has out done himself. The fight sequences are just too long and too much. It's like ordering another double when you're past legal limit. Cut down half the fight sequences and develop the relationship between Alejandro and Joaquin, then you have a better movie. Thefilmcuts away every time Alejandro and Joaquin sits down and have a father and son conversation. I felt cheated. By the end, they do have a meaningful conversation but I didn't care anymore and just wanted to leave.

Spice up the night BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Are you tired of eating foods that just end up making you feel bloated and sleepy and dinners that leave you and your partner lying on the couch with no energy for romance? If so, it's time to change the .menu. There are lots of foods out there that are aphrodisiacs that help boost sexual stimulation and add a little spice to an otherwise dull night. For starters, wine is an easy way to set the mood. A couple of glasses help to relax and stimulate the senses, but be careful because one glass to many can leave you drowsy and not up for any physical activities. For dinner try serving up or going out for oysters, which are high in protein and said to bring out passion. : Try feeding your lover asparagus to bring out that sensuous side. The Vegetarian Society recommended eating asparagus for three days for best results. Sweet Basil stimulates sex drive and enhances fertility. Carrots are thought be most stimulating to males. Carrots are high in vitamins and betacarotene and were used by early Middle Eastern royalty to aid in the art of seduction. Garlic, though you may need a breath mint, stirs up sexual desires. By adding a little garlic to your pasta sauce, you're adding a little spice to your bedroom as well. This may seem a little odd, but mustard is believed to stimulate the sexual glands and boost sexual longing. Try eating a filet mignon with a mustard and peppercorn sauce. Now on to deserts; fruits are a great place to start. Bananas are rich in potassium and vitamin B which are essential for sex hormone production. Raspberries and Strawberries, known as tfie fruit nipples, are not only loaded with vitamin C, but they are a great treat to feed your lover in front of some soft candle light. %•• If fruits not your thing then try some chocolate. Chocolate actually contains chemicals which effect neurotransmitters in the brain and a caffeine like substance cailed theobromine. In other words, it makes you feel great. Vanilla, the scent alone stimulates the senses, but the taste increases lust. Almonds are a great dfesert served, as Marzipan (almond paste), because the aroma is said to provoke passion in a woman. If you're looking for something a little warmer to heat things up try good olid ( ^ffeerCoflee contains caffeine which is a stimulant, which is a great start for an all-nighter, But justlike the wine it's better served in small douses, because to much caffeine can act as a depressant.

Faces & Places Registration delays have students and faculty worried ieet the Professor mfalMÄWMi BY MATT LEWIS Faces & Places Editor I Sports Cross-Country I Champs ts & Entertainment Hits of Sunshine Last week, over 1,000 students participated in the " human 2 0" photograph as p art of the celebration for CSUSM's 20th anniversary. Despite the proverbial cloud looming over CSUSM and other Cal State campuses throughout California, t his event shows signs of a s hift in morale across the campus. Unfortunately, celebrating twenty years may not be enough of a momentous occasion to overshadow the continuing e ffects of the diminishing budget for higher education. Many students at CSUSM expressed concern when the beginning of November came and went t his last week without a sign, or even a whisper, regarding registration for next year. Typically, the students who are guaranteed early registration, such as f reshmen, athletes, and orientation team members, receive a generated e-mail f rom the O ffice of the Registrar when midterms roll around n otifying them of upcoming registration dates. As that time has clearly come and gone, students may have another thing to add t o the long list of stressors related to the higher education budget crunch. Like "recession" or "swine f lu," the budget cuts are becoming the d e-facto phrase that practically every branch of the university h as using to explain anything delayed, closed, or rescheduled. "Most of the time, the planning for next semester is done before October," said Joan Anderson, a CSUSM writing professor. "But this year, [the Registration Committee] didn't f inish until the middle of October." Budget cuts or not, CSUSM o fficials cannot simply delay the spring semester, leaving students and f aculty alike uneasy about the limited time to plan and schedule. At t his point, the details surrounding the scheduling delay are f uzzy, but the ever-present excuse of "budget c uts" r emains. Now the students at CSUSM will have to make even more of a mad dash than usual to get the coveted seats in the classes they need. This delay is even a ffecting those who a ren't even students here yet. "My f riend who goes to CSUSM told me to expect a registration e-mail before November," said Brian Aragon, and incoming t ransfer student f rom Colorado. "When I didn't get anything at the beginning of the month, I got worried because the classes I want f ill up pretty quick. Plus, I have to make sure all the housing plans go through as well [...] but w hat's the point of making the move if I c an't get into the right classes? Basically I have a lot riding on it." Unfortunately, the Pride could not reach the O ffice of the Registrar for comment in time for t his article to go t o p rint. In reality, the Committee is not at f ault here. Rather, they ai:e as a ffected by t his changing university environment as faculty and students are. It is important to remember how budget cuts a ffect every facet of university life; f urloughs, dropped classes, limited library hours* and semester unit caps are all results. How much more can the school cut back before it starts to a ffect the quality of our education? Who's t o say that it has not, already?

IVAN G ARCIA FRJSTE MAEVE CAMPLISSON : Viewpoint THE PRIDE M y shrink's column In case you haven't noticed, we passed the middle of the semester and are heading into crunch time. You should know by now where you actually stand in your classes. The opportunities to improve your grades are dwindling. Once Thanksgiving comes, it's a steep downhill r un to finals. I assume that stress is becoming noticeable. It's a normal response to demands that the world is making on us. It kicks us into a higher gear, gets the juices flowing, forces our minds into mpdes of worrying, planning, and problem solving. Many students say they work best under pressure, and this makes sense. Stress triggers the body's "fight or flight" mechanism, and the way to "fight" upcoming assignments is to get to work on them now. But for some, stress can be too much, and this is certainly not helpful. When we have too much stress, it interferes with our lives and makes it harder to take care of business. Our minds become so jumbled with worries that we can't concentrate. Our normal eating and sleeping patterns are disrupted. Some people lose their appetites almost completely, while others start to binge, perhaps in an effort to settle themselves down. Some find it very hard to fall asleep, or stay asleep, so pressured are they with the feeling that there is so much that needs to be done. Others are so overwhelmed that they might sleep more than normal, out of the exhaustion that chronic stress has on the body and out of a sense of hopelessness in the face of all that undone work. This syndrome of being under too much stress often gets worse before it gets better. Each part of it (its effects on concentration, mood, sleep, and appetite) tends to lead to making the problems worse rather than solving them. If 1 can't concentrate, I fall f urther behind or write papers that are of lousy quality. If I've not slept or eaten properly, my body is not at its best and cannot cope effectively with the challenges hurled at it. And as the problems worsen, the grades sink, and the assignments pile up, the stress increases and the cycle can get out of hand. So let me offer two pieces of advice for this moment in the semester. First, because you are not hopelessly behind yet (you're not, are you!?), this is the critical moment to get organized. Take a calendar and enter every assignment t hat's due from now until finals week. Make sure that you see all the tests, quizzes, and papers coming well in advance. Make sure you find time just about every day to make some progress on your schoolwork. The amount of time you spend in leisure activities may have to be temporarily reduced to ensure that you stay on top of your work now. Your reward will be play-time later, with decent grades behind you. Make a firm resolve to get organized and disciplined now, for the rest of the semester. Second, if you feel that your stress level is out of control in the ways I described, get some assistance. Talk to your professors. Go to review sessions. And, if it would help, give us a call at Counseling Services to make an appointment. Our staff is very familiar with treating student stress and can give you some tools to s often the blows of all that pressure. To do so, call or drop by Student Health & Counseling Services (750-4910; location is Suite 100 in the SMACC building).

But this past Friday, I wanted to go out for dinner and a movie with my better half. Since we got out of dinner earlier than expected, we got to the show very early. That gave us enough time to see t he j ungle t hat in Friday night at the cinema. Usually, the amount of flashing lights and advertisements on a normal night is overwhelming. But when we went, it was startling to see all that was going on inside the lobby. We were attacked by men in black shirts asking u s to take surveys about television. And people f rom H P were begging us to t ry their new printers. Both o ffering p rizes wanting personal information. Since we were early, we humored them and checked them out. On one hand, it gave us something t o do while we waited t o get in to our theater. But I can imagine it would be frustrating to work past this crowd of advertisers to get to your seat. And in a way, it made me sad to see the cinema "pimping" out its lobby space. In the big picture, I know it is not a big deal. It is j ust a little unsettling to consider how these people have the audacity to be so in-you-face, and how susceptible the general population is to this media. I understand the cinema is not f ree f rom advertising and product placement, but this seemed really out of place. This was j ust one of those moments I stepped back to see that I have been affected by advertising. N o matter how much we like to think we are above it, advertising has changed our world, and continues to invade. Classifieds Hey$tiysi Do you enjoy raunch humor?

With the passing of Halloween, so passes the spirit of shoveling mounds of sweet, sugary treats into our gobs and dressing up in outfits that leave nothing to the imagination. Now that the holidays are upon us, being abroad just seems to help further the fact that we might not be with our loved ones during these times of family and unity. Obviously, it's November, a time of cool weather, falling leaves, and capitalism in the face of an impending Christmas. Ah, 'tis the season. So between the time of being away in England and coming back home (more or less about 1 month), what's a guy like me to do without the long held tradition of munching on varying-Thanksgiving meals? This is the first time I'll be away from family this Thanksgiving, and while it may be liberating, it's also an odd change without the giant Butterball turkey, mashed potatoes, or corn (ah, corn). It's times like these when the hidden emotions start to emerge and you just realize, as great as this abroad experience may be, I miss home. During these times, the best cure would be to connect with those you love back home. Not through email or Facebook, but through handwritten postcards or letters. It's these little extra steps that will show you, as well as the people back home, that they're/you are missed. And who doesn't like receiving something in the mail? It's exciting! You feel like an adult with mortgages or j unk mail, which only encourages you to put on some fake glasses and reply humorously with, "Ah, I see the electric bill has come in. Let's see what the damage is." I'm not sure what it is but just reading small notes from friends and family shows the care they put into packing a box f ull of tortillas and coffee mix (thanks, mom) or writing a few words letting you know that you're missed. Yeah, it sucks being away, especially if you know your sister is going to get the giant turkey leg this year and not you. But this is the time to be out on your own and create your own traditions and celebrations. Do something during Thanksgiving that will be memorable, whether it be going away on a trip or sharing this American tradition with those not familiar with it. As terrible as it may be to retell the actual stories (not the happy go lucky, what we're taught in elementary school story) of the terrible things done to the true founders of this land (you know who you are), maybe now is time to start a tradition of bringing people together under a banner of cultural differences and just enjoying each other's company. And maybe a trip to KFC would be cool too (turkey, fried chicken, what's the difference?)

Cheered on by a raucous home crowd, Beressa prevailed, crossing the finish line with a time of 24:14. Friesen would finish one second behind at 24:15. Beressa's time breaks the CSUSM school record, previously set by Juan Mejia in 2007, by one second as well. Edwards cruised to a third place finish in the meet at 24:42. Simon Fraser's Ryan Brockerville took fourth at 24:53, and British Columbia runners Kerry Kazuta and Ben Thistlewood placed fifth and sixth, running 24:54 and 25:06, respectively. CSUSM's top-5 runners all finished in the top-17 at the meet. Chris Capeau placed 8th at 25:20, Pat Fitzgerald 10th at 25:23, and Chris Strasheim 2Th at 26:27. Simon Fraser saw Keir Forester take 7th at 25:18, David Wambui place 12th at 25:28, and Mitchell Culley take 16th at 26:14. CSUSM's team time was a mere two seconds faster than Simon Fraser's, 2:06:06 to 2:06:08. British Columbia had Jordan Smith take 9th at 25:23, Nigel Hole place 11th with a 25:27, and Eric Cameron finish 13th at 25:45. Following the completion of the race, there were tense moments as the results were calculated. When the underdog Cougars were announced the winner, both the crowd and team exploded in cheers. CSU San Marcos coach Steve Scott was named A.I.L Coach of the Year following the race, and the top-10 individual finishers were named to the All-Conference Team.

They sample music, patch together bits and pieces to make tracks two hours long, and have pretty cool names. The point is, a DJ's status as an "artist" just isn't warranted the way a songwriter's is. I've already thought heavily about sampling: artists taking "pieces" of songs and more or less recycling them as parts of a new whole. Most songwriters will just take a riff or a break (percussion) to loop while they compose on top of it. Most DJs rely on the entirety of a song to produce material, sometimes in the form of remixes. So, titles aside, there are definitely varying degrees of talent among DJs. On the lower end, we have the guy who DJed your Junior Prom. And on the upper echelon of DJ glory, we have DJ Shadow. DJ Shadow, born Joshua Davis, warrants the designation of artist. His collaborations with musicians span genres and trends, and his solo work retains mass appeal among listeners, critics, and fellow artists. With a career exceeding two decades, DJ Shadow's hold on the future of hip hop is as strong as it has ever been. Big names outside of hip hop call upon Shadow for his fresh spin on music (yes, the pun was intended). In 1998, he worked with U.N.K.L.E. to produce a few tracks for their second debut album, Psyence Fiction. Long story short, Shadow became a temporary member of U.N.K.L.E. The current members, James Lavelle and Pablo Clements, discarded all old material, and the three went on create a hew sound. The list of guests on that album grew to include members of Radiohead, Beastie Boys, The Verve, and Metallica. Don't forget about Shadow's multitude of remixes.

The Bay Area hyphy movement also owes much of its initial construction to Shadow. His home base of San Jose put him at the center of development in the early 90s. When hyphy came to national attention in the mid 2000s, a documentary featured Shadow along with several other musicians supportive of the movement, including founder, Keak Da Sneak. Shadow's debut album, Endtroducing..., remains a stepping-stone within his niche. Released in 1996, Guinness World Records recognized it as the first album created solely from music sampling in 2001. Innovative and daring, Endtroducing... includes an overwhelming amount of artists to create an entirely new sound and feeling unique to Shadow. Rumors purport that a shift in Shadow's work will be apparent with the release of new work. With that, the DJing world will inevitably shift with it.

Come stare at the Men Who Stare at Goats in a theater near you! BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer "The Men Who Stare at Goats," which opened Nov. 6, 2009, starred Ewan McGregor as a very different type of Jedi than viewers have seen him portray before. McGregor plays Bob Wilton, a down oii his luck journalist who travels to Kuwait to sniff out a story. While there, he runs into Lin "Skip" Cassidy, played by George Clooney, who introduces him to "The New Earth Army" which is a unit of the army aimed to find alternative and non-violent forms of combat such as psychic power and Jedi-like mental manipulation. In flashbacks, the camouflaged soldiers practiced yoga, grew out long hair, exchanged flowers, and danced to Billy Idol as part of their training. Skip explains the history, fall, and rebuilding of this program to Bob as they head through sand dunes and war zones on what seems to be a wild goose chase, or more literally, a wild goat chase. The most enjoyable part of this film is the healthy mixture of dry satire and slapstick humor. The dialogue is simply phenomenal, and the chemistry between McGregor as a serious journalist and Clooney as a whimsical, yet serious "Jedi Warrior" is spot on. Surprisingly, McGregor never breaks the fourth wall with quite a few instances of quoting lines from "Star Wars" movies in which he played the young Obi Wan Kenobi. The humor comes from the context and delivery of lines, and it is never self-referen- tial. George Clooney is always very entertaining to watch, and although many of his fast-talking alpha-male characters tend to be somewhat static, this film really delves into Skip's memories, ethical conflicts, beliefs, and his growth over time. Flashbacks make up a large portion of this movie, and they range from heart touching to sidesplitting, but some of them drag on too long for the pacing of the plot. At times, the flashback goes on for so long that the viewer may forget where the characters are in the present. The opening scenes, a title screen claims "more of this is true than you'd believe." This may seem laughable in that it is basically a movie about men staring so hard at goats that their hearts actually stop. However, when it comes to issues such as maturity, disappointment, budding friendships, and personal ethics, the movie is indeed very true to life. This movie is completely hilari- ous from the wacky visuals to the sly writing, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a few hearty belly laughs complete wijh a side of emotion and inspiration. flow like few other films. At least it did for me. I went in well warned and still it hit hard. The film has very much to recommend, like "Yesterday" on all levels. In this film, there is not only great cinematography but also some scenes that will take your breath awayfromtheir fairytale surrealism. The scenes take the viewers back in time of simple summer love that grows into something extraordinary. The one potentially weak aspect of the film was the slow and, what I felt, plodding start. Most great films don't seem to risk potentially losing viewers early on, but the risk pays off handsomely in this film. Irffect, the emotion builds steadily throughout the entire film like a locomotive, and then unloads on you all at once. This is a knockout piece. If you know love, then this film is a must see. If you don't know love, then watch this film and you will. What to See***** "Thelma and Louise" is a galpal movie starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis. Yes, as a movie reviewer (of age), I should have seen this film long before now, but being married assures that no chick flick goes unviewed. Chick Flick is not a derogatory term, it just delineates that die film is geared to a female audience, just as Jackie Chan films are aimed afguys. Once again, this is a top-flight production with great performances by the leading ladies, and great support from Harvey Keitel. It seems that this film has developed not only a cult following, but has grown to reach nearly mythological proportions as a tour de force for empowering women. It runs the range of emotions from serious to giddy, and even ventures into campy waters at times. Perhaps the one thing that does tie these three films tightly together is the impression they will each emblazon on your memory. So take your friends' hands and take a fly at these three greatfilms.What to See **** Image courtesy of Overture Films W hat to see on DVD BY BLAINE HMOGIL Pride Staff Writer How does one present movies filled with sadness and make them desirable to see? Perhaps by trying to lode at the silver lining and these films contain that silver lining, but I'll leave it to you to find them This wedi, these threefilmswould be difficult to categorize other than to say they are excellent. Although they share sadness, they diverge in many other ways. Some believe that to truly appreciate joy one must truly experience sorrow. So if you want to watch some movies to get you happy, here we go. "Yesterday" is a story about the title character, a South African woman, and her struggles to get by in a remote village.

The story takes a hard look at AIDS and HIV in South Africa and provides what seems an honest, albeit harsh, look at the problem.

The CSU System wide Internal Partnership (SIP) has recently selected Team GTE as a business partner in an effort to improve its information technology infrastructure: Team GTE, also known as California Education Technology Initiative Corporation (CETI), consists of GTE, Fujitsu, Hughes, and Microsoft corporations. The proposed CETI plan points out that because of today's rapidly changing technology, the CSU system can no longer count on irregular sources of money including grants, gifts and "entrepreneurial-efforts" to keep technology current. Richard Karas, CSUSM's vice president of Academic Affairs, said the plan would enable the CSU system "to provide a higher level of technology." He added that it will bring technology of all the CSU campuses up to a reasonable level. CSUSM's executive director of Computers and T elecommunications, Norm Nicolson, said it will "benefit students enormously" through a better infrastructure, higher-speed access within the computer labs arid a better variety of dial-up access off campus. With the implementation of CETI, Nicolson also anticipates more innovative 1 t hat i taulH ssi ASI S ternal Nov. 20, "The Great American Smokeout," could be the day for some students if CSUSM's Health Services has its way. Its staff is doing its best to raise student awareness that, as the American Cancer Society puts it, "Smoking WILL kill you; it's just a matter of how." Student smokers confess that they know the risks, yet a number continue to smoke. "I enjoy the habit because it's relaxing. It's an oral fixation," said a CSUSM woman junior who i s majoring in English and Spanish. "I want to quit. I 'm a closet smoker, and I don't smoke at school because it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Will you be one of them? m quit smoking, I would do it." What kind* of program would she like best? "I prefer hypnotism," she answered. Each of 10 CSUSM student smokers, six women and four men, said they, too, would like to quit. They had several rationalizations for why they continue to smoke, mainly "It's relaxing" and "I'm worried about gaining weight." Several said Nov. 20 was just another day to them. "It takes more than a day of propaganda to help someone quit smoking," said Mark, a junior majoring in computer science. "They have to want to quit, and then really do it. There is no halfway point." But, he agreed, the day at least helps promote awareness of the dangers of smoking. According to the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society, and the World Health Organization, 390,000 Americans die each year from the effects of smoking. Tobacco use now causes 3 million deaths a year worldwide. Half a billion people now alive will be killed due to tobacco use. Citing statistics showing that worldwide sales of cigarettes reached 295.8 billion last year, the World Health Organization calls tobacco use "a global epidemic." CSUSM student smokers tended to rationalize these numbers. "We're all going to die somehow," said Mark. "I know I shouldn't smoke, but I don't want to quit right now." Four of the other nine smokers interviewed shared that attitude. But some students have managed to kick the habit recently. Pam, a 34-year-old CSUSM student, said she began smoking while working as a waitress. "It was the sociable thing to do," she said. "It seemed like everyone was really enjoying it." She added that she, too, enjoyed the habit, though it was expensive and she hated the way her sister would that she "reeked of smoke." So why did she quit? "Because it was impossible to tell my son not to smoke when interest of the students, just for the university and the companies." He added that he fears CSUSM students ultimately will have to pay for many services they are currently receiving for free. But both Karas and Nicolson said they don't anticipate such a development. Students will only pay for services above what they are currently getting, Karas said. While students currently are rationed in their Internet access, under CETI they will have the option to purchase additional amounts at a discounted student rate, Karas said. The proposed, fee-based career counseling will provide extra help, he added. The percentage of revenue generated for the CSU system is being negotiated, Nicholson said. Karas said he anticipates it would be "in the high tens of millions of dollars per year." Ramos said he hoped the money generated would go for improvements on campus, such as more buildings, a parking structure and a better library. "There is a lpt we could do with the money, but it's still coming out of the students'pockety'* he added. "The university is getting the break." Ramos said he also was concerned about the trend at CSUSM to contract services out, pointing to the pay-per-print deal with IKON. Under the contract, students must now pay 15 cents to print each page. Of that, the university only receives a one and a half cents per page. I still did," she said, adding that it was a powerful motive. "When you smoke, it's like second-nature. You don't even realize you're doing it," she said. "It's hard to recognize the danger of something that is so ingrained in you." Pam said she used an older, but dependable method for quitting. First, she switched brands to one she didn't like. Then, gradually, she cut back in number of the cigarettes. To avoid triggering her urge to smoke, she did her best to avoid frequenting the places and company where she would be most tempted to light up. Finally, she threw away all her cigarettes, ashtrays and lighters, and had her teeth cleaned to get the tobacco stains off and provide further motivation. To take the place of smoking, she found a new habit: She squeezed a rubber ball every time she wanted a cigarette. Sometimes, she said, she'd have to just take a walk AND squeeze the ball because she wanted a cigarette so badly. According to "Quitting Times" magazine, Pam did everything right. She developed a see S MOKE-OUT page 3 �Smoke-Out continued from PAGE 2 prove. You'll breathe easier, and your smoker's hack will begin to disappear. And you'll be free from the mess, smell, inconvenience, expense and dependence of cigarette smoking." When your body is dependent on nicotine, you feel more relaxed, health experts say. It's like using coffee to wake up. But, ironically, nicotine is a stimulant: It increases your levels of nervousness, but the action of smoking helps calm you down. The experts also say that it would take a weight gain of more than 60 pounds to offset the benefit from being smoke-free. CSUSM Health Service officials say they are developing a program to help students quit and it could be ready by next semester. In the meantime, if you need help, several organizations have such programs, including the local American Red Cross (phone: 619-291-2620), the National Cancer Institute, (1-800-4-CANCER) and the American Cancer Society (1-800-ACS-2345).

If i l s o , the new snack cart that opened last week in Founders Plaza outside the Science Building, may be a welcome sight. It offers a variety of items that are ideal for a meal on the run, including pretzels, chips, a variety of hot dogs (the College Dog, the Smart Dog and the Studious Dog, for example) and Italian sausages. For $1.10, you can get a deliciously soft pretzel. The highest priced item on the menu is the Italian sausage ($3.25) and a number of students said it is well worth the price. The snack cart is owned and operated by Premier Espresso Company. Mike Reid, coowner of the company, said it was set up at the request of the school. He hopes to add a more items to the menu soon. "This is so convenient, and the price is right," said literature major Dawn Knepper.

The semester is more than half over, and I'm still holding my own. I haven't learned to laugh at math yet, but, more importantly, it's not laughing at me. I attribute some of this to my teacher's weird sense of humor, which he incorporates into his teaching. Best of all, he uses language I understand: "This is really stupid." "Doesn't this seem ridiculous?" "This is kind of dumb." "There's five times too much garbage here." Yes! A math teacher with a sense of humor! In addition to the colorful language, this teacher gives us about five or six examples on the topics of the night. He makes it look and sound so easy and repeats it enough times that it sinks in, even though the class is 7:30-8:45 p.m., and I've already put in a full day at work. Really strange, but he makes it all work out. I seem to be able to absorb double the garbage, even if it is stupid. Last class, I asked when in my life would I want to reduce algebraic fractions. (As yet, I haven't had the opportunity, and I've been around for many years.) "I hate that question," the teacher responded. "You won't use this unless you're going on to higher math." Great. I am going on, but it's the next remedial class and has nothing to do with algebra. Looking on the bright side, attending class isn't the dreaded experience it once was. Even better news is that according to my health newsletter, this counts as the mental challenge I need to avoid advanced mental aging. This is good, but what will my children think when I sit calculating how far I didn't go. Life celebrated on Day of the Dead B Y JOHN M . RODRIGUEZ M y grandmother doted on my sisters and I when we were children. On Hallow een, over the protests of my then teen-aged uncle and aunt, she would empty her candy dish into our trick-or-treat sacks. During Christmas, she would put up a cardboard fireplace in her tiny house so we could hang our stockings. It has been more than 30 years since she died, but I shared these memories of her before lighting a votive candle and placing a marigold on an altar in her honor during Day of the Dead festivities last week on campus. Contrary to its somber name, Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a celebration of life and remembrance that takes place throughout Latin America. It is actually a two-day event, according to Linda Amador who helped coordinate the campus event. Nov. 1 honors children who have died, while Nov. 2, commemorates the adults. Since both days landed on a weekend this year, the altar display and presentation were held Nov. 3 at CSUSM for the benefit of students who wished to participate. The elaborate altars were sponsored by individuals and campus organizations, including Counseling and Psychological Services. Two altars were available for students who wished to commemorate a loved one. Each reflected the characteristics and personality of the deceased honoree. The traditional altar built by Amador for her grandmother contains many of the items found on most Day of the Dead altars. The votive candles, flowers, images of the Virgin of Guadalupe, candies, and pan dulce (sweet bread) are typical. Amador personalized hers with cooked bowls of rice and beans and kitchen implements to emphasize her grandmother's love of cooking. Additional items, including a rosary, bible, mantilla (veil), a childhood doll and Photographs, completed the display. In some cases, groups of people were remembered. For instance, the altar sponsored by Carlos von Son's Spanish 250 class memorializes the roughly 1,200 illegal immigrants who died while crossing the border over the last four years. It also depicted a diorama of the desert with tiny cacti and sugar skulls with a border edge of flattened tin. The desert represented the dangerous border badlands most immigrants must cross while the skulls commemorated the victims, according to student Veronica Munoz who was instrumental in developing the altar. She added that the flattened tin border represented the metal border fence running between the United States and Mexico. A bowl with burning copal combined with flowers was used to simulate the odor of burning bones. Atfirstglance, the altar constructed by Career Assessment office manager Lily Martinez Gonzalez and her husband, Psychology professor Gerardo M. Gonzalez, to remember Chicano activist Cesar Chavez seemed almost political in nature with its prominent United see RODRIGUEZ page 6 �Rodriguez continuedfromPAGE 5 Farm Workers emblems and photos. But the connection between the Gonzalezes and the late UFW leader is a very personal one. The couple first met Chavez during the early '80s when both were students at Fresno State. Lily Gonzalez recalls with great warmth the personality of a man who gave entirely of himself to his cause and his people, but always found time to listen to his volunteers. "The thing that I remember most about Cesar Chavez is that he once told me that if you were consistent and had integrity, those were the things that were really important. He recognized people no matter who they were.,,,, she said. Chavez, who often shunned politicians and businessmen, would always find time to speak with farm workers, university students and children, she added. The couple's tribute to Chavez included elements of the UFW, but also items revealing the personal side of the man. For instance, the myriad of vegetables revealed the vegetarian diet of a man who struggled with the tempting meat dishes of his native land. Day of the Dead altars were not restricted to Latino themes. Many other cultures also view death as cyclical of life, so the adoption of Dia de los Muertos became a natural crossover for other campus groups. Psychology professor Carlene Smith prepared an altar commemorating the African slaves who either died en-route to America or on plantations. "We don't just set aside one day for the dead," she said. "It's an everyday occurrence in African culture." Professor Smith combined traditional African items such as masks, clothing, gourds, musical instruments, books on African culture and illustrations of slave scenes to complete her altar. The essence of celebrating Day of the Dead is to remember something special about a deceased loved one, and then share that memory with someone, according to Amador. She encouraged the gathering to place lighted candles and marigolds on the altar. Following her presentation, von Son read a poem he wrote for the event in Spanish followed by an English translation. Liberal Arts professor Bonnie L. Baden concluded the festivities with a slide presentation on Mexican tradition regarding Dia de los Muertos. D ISCOVER I His. goals go beyond Friday night b lowouts.

It's a new thriller starring Morgan Freeman ("Glory," "Outbreak," "The Shawshank Redemption"), who plays a forensic psychologist hot on the trail of a serial kidnapper/murderer. The movie's villain, whose face is never shown, is a kidnaper first and murderer second because killing is not his main motive. All of his victims are young, attractive women with something extraordinary about them. One is a violin virtuoso, another an aspiring doctor. The villain abducts these niece is one of the abductees. Freeman, as always, does a marvelous job. His character is extremely sharp-witted and professional, yet also compassionate and vulnerable. You sympathize with his frustration at not being able to rescue his niece. Even the scenes showing only Freeman as he studies clues are fascinating. Each time, you know, he'll manage to come up with something that puts him a little closer to his quarry. He certainly doesn't get a lot of help from local authorities, who tolerate him with thinly veiled hostility and racism. Only the head investigator, played by Cary Elwes ("Princess Bride," "Robin Hood: Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd hunt down a serial killer in "Kiss The Girls.

Though the sound of The Freddy Jones Band's new set album, "Lucid," is clear and produced well, the music elicits little in the way of emotional sensations. Why listen to the monotony of another generic group? Echoing original sounds such as Toad the Wet Sprocket, Dave Matthew's Band and even Pearl Jam, The Freddy Jones Band lacks personal style. "Woke up on the wrong side of my self this morning/wish I could have stayed in bed..." should have been the songwriter's intent, for he may have dreamt of a sound solely belonging to him. But the mimic of his music prevails only in the initial impression and is quickly lost. The album's melodies are boring and its instrumental talent is lacking, allowing lots of time to reflect on truer talents such as the bands listed previously. "Mystic Buzz" is the only song worth listening to more than once, but that's because of its similarity to Toad the Wet Sprocket's "Walk on the Ocean." These guys make an effort, four albums now, but the pop-rock sounds do not enlighten the ears or intrigue the soul, so why bother listening? It's studio stuff, a l ifetime of f inancial g oals.

Due to the North County fires, the structured activities for Equity Week were postponed. A campus lunch rally is scheduled Wednesday, Nov. 12 from 11: 30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Equity Week is an international movement led by The Coalition of Contingent Academic Labor (COCAL), California, a multicampus coalition of California State University lecturers, faculty, and community. From rallies to regional hearings, equity film festivals and public testimonies, more than 400 schools speak out across the United States, Canada and Mexico, including 23 CSU schools. In support of "equity for contingent faculty" Elizabeth Hoffman, the California Faculty Associa- President of the University of HoustonVictoria (UHV) Karen Haynes, who once managed an institute for national planning in Cairo, broke the ice with CSUSM students and faculty last Wednesday.

During his 45 minute debut, faculty and staff quizzed Smith on a series of questions, one of which hitting his shift of allegiance from Cal State Fullerton to San Marcos. Smith, vice president for Academic Affairs at CSUF, said that he is not switching allegiance; it is about the mission of higher education and working on the master plan of the California State University system.

"Actually, almost everyone I know calls me Cali." At 6'4" he towers above nearly everyone who walks by, but his hazel eyes are inviting, his tone is friendly. It becomes hard to imagine this person in the midst of the recent war. Louis Caliendo, a third semester business major, transferred from Palomar Community College to CSUSM in the spring semester of2002. More recently however, he's just transferred back to the United States after spending six months serving as Sergeant Caliendo in the dusty deserts of northern and southern Iraq. A Brooklyn native, Cali moved to California when he joined the Marines in 1993. "I like it here. It's something new," he says. After spending four years on active duty in the Marines, Cali decided to serve part time in the reserves in order to attend college and pursue a career in business.

Many students breathe with a sigh of relief, but are shocked at the degrading value given to their work. Unfortunately, even for students with a genuine argument for receiving an unfair grade, the grade appeal procedure seems to be a lengthy, tedious, and frightening path, an avenue in which few venture down. Students at Cal State San Marcos hold the right to file an appeal for their grade. Confidential hearings take place in front of a small board within the Academic Senate named the Student Grade Appeals Committee. "The committee is a right (for) students to have recourse when they feel they've been wronged," said Iain Gould, a graduate student serving on this board. As currently written, the grade appeal process begins with a student seeking to resolve the issue informally, through discussion between the professor and the student. If no agreement is reached, the student consults various administrative officials from the department and eventually the dean or another director. If the student cannot resolve the conflict, he or she mustfilea formal appeal. This process begins March 15 for courses from the previous fall or Oct. 15 for summer of spring courses. Last year, the Student Grade Appeals Committee received 10 appeals. All were rejected. According to the annual report, three cases were discarded on technical grounds, the committee did not find the evidence to be adequate enough for a grade change with the other seven cases. In past years, the success rate for grade appeals has rarely been over 25 percent. Various difficulties cause the low success rate. The Student Grade Appeal Procedures states that "the burden of proof is on the student." "A difficult task," said Richard Karas, Chair of the Grade Appeals Committee. Another obstacle students face is that they often do not understand the policy and their appeals are rejected because they do not effectively argue and document their claims. "Traditionally students that have a strong case have not had their appeal granted because of procedural flaws on their part," Gould argued. According to Gould, students have been unable to change their grades because of their lack of knowledge of the specific steps needed to take for the grade appeal. Students overlook two essential components: for what reason an appeal can be granted and the deadline in which to file. Students are often skeptical of Administration committees due to the lack of student voice in those groups. For the Grade Appeals Committee, it is not a question of fairness because three students and four faculty members serve on the committee, an almost balanced ratio. Associated Students, Inc. Executive Vice President John Gehris, who is in charge of finding students to work on committees, recalled that having the student influence and vote is essential, especially for grade appeals. "The student voice and concerns are heard because students sit on the committee," Gehris said. "Students who want to change their grade feel much more comfortable appealing in front of a committee that has student members." Another obstacle with the process is the policy language is vague creating difficulties for students. "Certain language in the procedures can be written so as to be clearer and more compelling.. .the forms used to appeal a grade can be amended so that they guide students through the process of writing an effective appeal," Karas said. With the burden of the proof lying on the student and ambiguous language discouraging efforts^ students find it difficult to appeal a grade. A proposal is currently being submitted to the Academic Senate to review the language of the documents. The committee is continuing its efforts to improve the effectiveness of the policy. 83% U J /U EGG DONORS NEEDED Age 19 - 29 Excellent Compensation Call Melissa @ Building Families (800)790-7633 eggdonation@bldgfams.com ^ MfANTEDiS || $1Ö|00-$16.00 per hour call ( 7 6 0 ) 7 4 4 - S W I M / * o f C al S t a t e S an M arcos S tudents D O N OT b elieve t h a t d rinking a lcohol w ill m ake w omen s exier. > § r%m 89% U Zt /U o f C al S t a t e S an M arcos S tudents D O N OT b elieve t h a t d rinking a lcohol w ill m ake m en s exier.

Administration's excuse for this unforgivable disregard to free speech is that they want the campus to continue looking clean and tidy. The infamous Posting Informational Material Policy "provides an avenue... (in which students can) publicize events, activities, and services while retaining an environment of order and cleanliness on the campus." This necessity for cleanliness includes restrictions on everything from the leafleting of cars to the material of banners. This anal policy goes so far as to dictate what type of tape to use when posting - masking tape only, of course. Basically if an innocent student wishes to post wisdom from a fortune cookie without approving the fortune with administration, he or she has some bad luck coming. The student risks having the posting removed, a fine imposed, posting privileges denied (whatever those are), and disciplinary action initiated - all this just for trying tô improve the karma on campus. The Pride exists as the only medium in which students may exercise their First Amendment rights without penalty or censorship by the administration. Even in this setting, student editors reserve the right to place or not to place letters in the opinion section. With administration censoring flyers posted on campus and the lack of free speech areas, students are unable to truly immerse themselves in the exchange of ideas that defines a university.

O mbudsman's N otes By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride StaffWriter This week, we try to return to normalcy on campus. After a disaster closely intertwined with our community and our campus, is it possible to return to a normal school life at this point in the semester? As I walked around campus over the past week, there was a prevalent feeling of exhaustion. Although a feeling of exhaustion is common at week 11, it seemed that perhaps this feeling was more than usual mental fatigue. After all, in the relative scheme of things at this particular time, it is hard to focus on education when there is still so much activity on the periphery. Last week's edition of The Pride focused on the fires and their effect on Cal State San Marcos. I have received positive feedback on the coverage provided in that special edition. However, I would have liked to receive much more. In addition, I would like to know your thoughts on trying to get back into semester for the remaining few weeks. Please e-mail me with any lingering thoughts that you might have on that special edition as well as thoughts on the current edition. My e-mail is dolan005@csusm.edu.

N « Ö �Never give up cross-country By TIM JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Cross-country is a sport with athletes who never give up, no matter what the circumstances are. Cara Rumble is one of those cross-country athletes who did not give up on the sport. Rumble is a senior at Cal State San Marcos and an All-American cross-country runner. She was forced to take a year off from cross-country to have a baby. Rumble did not give up; she returned and is now a possible national titlist, placing second in the Vanguard Invitational with a time of 18:26 for the 5-k event. "I had to get back into shape, I was in pretty bad shape, but the coach did not make me try out again," Rumble said. She got right back to where she let off. "I feel about the same, but you could always get stronger," she said. Steve Scott, head coach of the cross-country team, said that Cara is stronger. "Cara improved dramatically," Scott said. "She ran an 18:26, a lifetime best in the last crosscountry race. She came back stronger physically and mentally because she used to have a distraction with boys, and now she is totally focused on school and running." Rumble said, "I had one season that I red-shirted the first year and trained, and did not train during the second year while I was pregnant." Scott said: "She was running with us last year and during the season I was telling her she was doing great. She ran o.k. times and I said 'Cara, you're doing fine."' With the hard work Rumble has put into cross-country runner makes and the encouragement from her coach, she has succeeded in running and met the high expectations from her coach. "The future is for Cara to win the individual title," Scptt said. "There are four girls that have a good opportunity to win the individual title. Women are second in the (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes) NAIA and Cara will really help her team." The NAIA Regional was held on Saturday in Fresno, and the NAIA Nationals will be Nov. 22 at Tom Sawyer Park in Louisville, Kentucky. With these meets, Rumble's hard work to get back into shape will hopefully pay off. "I wanted to do it again because I missed it and it felt like it was something I needed to do," Rumble said.

CSUSM Surf team crashes down on the competition ByALEXROSALINO Pride StaffWriter As the waves crashed on the beach Saturday, Oct. 4, 16 students would realize they made the Associated Students, Inc. surf team while the other 14 would go home in hopes of competing next year. The ASI CSUSM surf team has grown in its third season from nine to 18 students. The team consists of ten shortboard men, two shortboard women, two longboarders and two bodyboarders. Spots were reserved for the Team Captain, Thomas Gorman and Player Representative Martin Muench. This year, Hansen's Boardroom, Etnies shoes, Da Kine surf and snowboard accessories and Transworld Surf magazine gave out freebies to the contestants. Jeremy Cannon and Conrad Scouton were the highlights in the men's shortboard competition. Each won all three of their heats credibly to take a seat on the team. Alex Freitas, Lucas Dalager and Sean Hastings were viewed favorably all day long because they pulled such high marks in their heats. Trailing them but making the team were: Brent Varga, Chris Parrinelo, Bob Hoste, Alex Burst, and Jon Graves. Jamie Tomei and Analia Carlsson maintained the women's shortboard competition. When it came to the longboards, runner up State Champion Dustin Franks won hands down. Ryan James and Michael Connolly had to battle it out for second place. In the end, James pulled through as the most favored. Eric Warner made the A-team in the bodyboard rounds, while Don Nguyen and Jeff Koval went head to head for the second placement. Because of its popularity, unyielding competitive results and maintained participation, Gorman was able to persuade ASI into doubling the size of the team this year despite the cost of try outs. ASI CSUSM Dream Team surfers, Martin Muench and Jon Graves blazed through the competition of schools including CSULB, USD, UCSD, and UCSB who were among the 22 teams competing this past Sunday, Oct. 25 in Ventura. Although they did ifot have a strong backing from their team members, their final score was 10th place with 61 points. Faculty Advisor Puha said: "The ASI CSUSM Surf Team has the talent to be competitive, but suffered from first event jitters and off season injuries. The team must take the positives from performances of Muench and Graves and start preparing for the next event." CSUSM students can watch the surf team Saturday, Nov. 22 when they compete at Black's Beach in San Diego. Jamie Tomei drops in with speed and style to secure a place on the ASI surf team Oct. 4. Tomei is one of two women shortboarders on the team.

M m Photo Courtesy of Landmark Pictures By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaflfWriter Tibet is a wondrous place; so inspiring is its beauty that it has been called the "altar of the world." Tibet's remote location, mysterious and colorful culture, and its people's search for enlightenment through the Buddhist religion all combine to give it a magical unearthly quality. Tom Peosay's moving documentary film, "Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion," brings Tibet out from behind the mystique and teaches the reality of the political and religious oppression the Tibetan people endured due to the Chinese occupation of their land. Beautifully captured images include a full spectrum of the Tibetan experience. Images span from jubilant festival celebrations and reverent religious rituals to the horrific destruction of Tibet's holiest places and violence against the Tibetan people. This sad story is told by the people who know it best. His- torians, professors, politicians, ambassadors, resistance leaders, monks, and nuns were interviewed for this film. The most shocking accounts are those of torture experienced by former prisoners of the Chinese. The historical details of Tibet's hardships would be unbearable if it wasn't for the inspiration the exiled religious leader, the Dalai Lama, brings to the table. His belief in non-violence and forgiveness averts anger and cynicism and brings hope to his people that someday they will be free. Students interested in becoming more aware of what is happening in the world can take the time to see this film. Films like this one can open sheltered American eyes to the big picture. It can bring some insight into the experience of people who live in occupied lands which has relevance far beyond the situation in Tibet.

Trujillo, who has headed campus security since 1992, was replaced on an interim basis by Capt. Tom Schultheis, second in command of the police department at San Diego State University. As part of the public safety shakeup, Lt. Alicia Smith was reassigned to another position. Trujillo's resignation came on the heels of a report in the North County Times that California State University officials had launched an investigation into the department.

At least, that's what the CSUSM Foundation is hoping. The foundation, a non-profit organization administered separately from the university, is constructing a new outdoor terrace at the southwest corner of the Dome. The Dome Terrace, as it's called, is being built in direct response to the popularity of the Dome as a study/social area. "The Dome is the most popular hangout on campus, said Marti Gray, executive director of the CSUSM Foundation. "The expansion meets the need for more dining and study space." The new patio will include 3,325 square feet—of which more than 2,000 will be shaded, according to Gray. The roof of the terrace will be made of a sturdy canvas-like material similar to that atop the San Di- ego Convention Center. The awning, green in color, was designed to meld into the campus decor. "We worked closely with the university p lanning c ommittee t o make sure t he design c omplemented, rather than contrasted with, the design of the existing buildings on campus," said Gray.

It's not all that difficult to spot. It's white with a CSUSM parking services emblem on the side and is usually parked in a convenient location on campus. Sometimes, its side sliding door is propped open, beckoning you to enter. Originally, the van was introduced to help alleviate parking congestion caused by limited parking. But, although the shuttle service will continue, the parking woes have eased, according to Dora Knoblock, CSUSM parking coordinator. Dome outside the Dome. There will be seating for approximately 180, with 60 new tables, according to Gray. Since the area is a magnet for strong cold winds in the winter, Gray said, it will be equipped with a wind screen. "It will be 75 feet in length and made up of brick and tempered glass," Gray added. Though no heaters are planned for the Dome Terrace at present, Gray said, some can be rented from party supply companies easily. The CSUSM Foundation operates the bookstore, as well as the food concession inside the Dome. Funds for the project came "The new student lot, No. 4, has not filled to capacity this fall semester," she said. "There has been sufficient parking on campus." But that doesn't mean the shuttle service is unnecessary. Initially, the program offered pickup and delivery to and from the Palomar/Pomerado Health Services facility, across Twin Oaks Valley Road from the university. But it was expanded last spring to include pick-up points at Chavez Circle, Student Lot No. 10 and Craven Circle. Knoblock, who said her department is doing an analysis to determine if the service is cost-effective, said the shuttle has helped the parking situation simply by encouraging students to use more distant spots. It will remain in effect at least until the analysis is completed, she added. According to Tom Weir of Facility Services, using data provided by the van drivers, the number of people who use the service has varied during the semester. Peak usage occurred during the second and third week of school, 541 and 338 passengers respectively. Since then, weekly ridership has averaged 202students. Student reaction to the service has been mixed. While some students say they'd rather walk, others say they enjoy the shuttle, particularly since it is still not all that easy to find a parking space. Jose Perez, a history major, said, "If I'm running late, I need to use it because professors take points off for being late to class. Sometimes if I'm running late, I'll purposely park where I know the shuttle will be." Ian Malone, a history/Spanish major who says he never uses the service, suggested that the only people who should use it are those with illnesses, injuries or disabilities. According to Knoblock, student comments range from "Thank you for providing us this service," to "I have been waiting for over five minutes and you guys are always late." She adds that the parking service is a "self-supporting operation" which does not receive any money from the state. Revenues from the sale of parking permits must cover its operating expenses along with the repayment of revenue bonds sold to construct parking facilities. As a future goal Parking Services plans to build an information kiosk next spring to assist students and guests. continued from page 1 from within the foundation's own coffers.

Danny Martinez, head of the program, concedes, that "intramural sports programs at CSUSM are still in the developing stages," and adds that the lack of attendance has made "creating a base" for the program a challenging task. Cost of the program is $12 for basketball, with Monday games starting at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Palomar College gymnasium; $10 for soccer with Tuesday and Thursday pick-up games from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the grass area by the campus parking lot; and $5 for dance, which is.held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the student lounge. The intramural staff has advertised the programs withflyersand signs, but they have drawn little student response. There are only four teams in the basketball league, and an average of 12 participants in the soccer program, and only six or seven dancers. Martinez, who came t o t he program at t he beginning of t he fall semester, says h e will introduce more sports programs next semester, including volleyball, Softball, flag football, salsa dancing and golf.

Although periods of gloom strike everybody from time to time, it doesn't have to be a debilitating illness that leads to suicide, said John Segoria, interim director of CSUSM's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). The key to preventing incidents like the one Oct. 26 is identifying depression and providing help before a student reaches thefinalstage of depression, he added. "If someone sees a student is more withdrawn in class, or if they are exhibiting this type of behavior, call CAPS," Segoria said, adding that a counselor should also be alerted to the student's signs.

She initially approached CSUSM an<J asked why there wasn't a German program. The answer, "We don't have requests for German," wasn't a good enough excuse for her to accept. So she collected 540 signatures from high school students and high school teachers in the area requesting that the language be taught and, with the support of the German Goethe Institute and the German Consulate, made a presentation to CSUSM's Foreign Language Department. Though the department heads were impressed, it still took almost a year before the German program was started. In spring 1997, though, Ronke taught her first class, German 201.

"I believe in dynamic and motivating classes with student-centered activities," she adds. Her classes are filled with role-playing, projects and dramatic language exercises. Ronke believes her students must be involved. She wants talk, input and dialogue. In Hawaii, Ronke, whose father was in the entertainment business, worked on a number of theater productions. Her hobbies include sports and photography. In 1993, Ronke moved to California with her husband, a marine biologist, and son Benjamin. She has worked as a coordinator for the German Department at University of Southern California, and has taught at East LA College. She also spent a year at Pepperdine College's International Business Department where she taught intensive German to business managers. Ronke t aught ESL at San Diego State University's American Language Institute before taking on the German program at CSUSM.

Professor measures communication on a different scale By John Cedres Pride staff writer T var A ntonsen is a s uccessful com poser and music w riter. But his J L mission at this moment is to help CSUSM students develop an understanding of, and appreciation for, a wide variety of music. A native of northern Norway, Antonsen — who was inspired by the sounds of an accordion played by a neighboring farmer — migrated to the United States in 1985. A successful pianist who has appeared on broadcasts throughout the world, Antonsen taught at San Diego Community College for four years before going on to compose for, and performing with, several local bands. After performing at CSUSM two years ago with one of his bands, Stereo Dogs, he says, a teaching position here practically fell into his lap. For the last year and a half, he has been on the university faculty. "Many musicians don't teach and many teachers don't play," he says. "It is important to communicate in many ways the phenomenon of music." Even though he is an experienced composer and writer, he still considers himself an "eternal student" who lends an ear to peers, colleagues and anyone else who can enhance his ability. In his music class at CSUSM, a substantial part of the curriculum is based on studying the music of different times and different cultures. Antonsen admits that some of the music may be a little difficult for some students to understand, but stresses that it's important to learn to appreciate the "uniqueness" of all music. "Good music is good music, wherever and whenever it's comingfrom,"he says. Antonsen's six-year study in composition and piano at the Norwegian State Academy of Music earned him scholarly and professional recognition. While teaching in several European conservatories and universities, he made countless appearances on radio and television broadcasts, performing with such musicians as Art Farmer, Jimmy Heitch and Joe Morello. Ivar Antonsen, performer and instructor, strikes up a chord with CSUSM students �Book Review Novel reveals Eastern tradition By Amber Lewnes Pride staff writer With only two CSUSM classes on the culture of Japan, most students have limited exposure to this Eastern society. "Memoirs of A Geisha" by Arthur Golden is a tale that reveals much about this foreign culture. The story takes place before, during, and after World War II in a prosperous town called Gion. Gion was once famed for its successful geishas. The book exposes the world of geisha that most people, even most Japanese people, never knew. The story begins when Chiyo-chan is sold by her father to an okiya (a geisha house). Her mother falls deathly ill and the aging father does not believe he can take care of Chiyo-chan and her sister. Ripped from everything she had ever known, Chiyochan is forced to face life as a servant to a temperamental geisha named Hatsumomo. Just when she is resigned to face an unhappy life of servitude, Chiyochan finds a way out and becomes a geisha herself. Arthur Golden spent years in Japan researching life at an okiya. After interviewing former geisha of that time he began writing this historical novel. This story not only includes psychological issues facing a young woman, but it informs the reader of the political and economical system the geishas developed. Geisha were entertainers, but they were also business-women and political diplomats. Golden titillates his audience with vivid descriptions of the beauty and wealth geisha were accustomed to before World War II. Both conservatives and feminists may be disturbed by the social and economic structure of geisha. Most geisha would sell their virginity to the highest bidder. Later in life, they would be financially supported in exchange for a sexual relationship with a married man. Golden does examine this conflict of Eastern and Western values when the heroine finds herself being shunned by socialites in New York at the end of her life. They see her as nothing but a kept woman. Men may have a hard time identifying with the main character, but the political and economical overtones will interest those who couldn't care less about a woman trying to find herself.

Though television explores such angles weekly, it Director Brad Silberling does a good job of mixing usually lacks the credibility of Meg Ryan or Nicolas different thoughts about life, death and eternity, and an excellent job of making the actors convey intense emotions without uttering a word. His camera angles are worth watching. Dennis Franz ("NYPD Blue") gives a fun and memorable performance as a "fallen" angel, and Andre Braugher ("Homicide") rounds out the supporting cast with a solid performance. "City of Angels" is a film that promotes conversations other than "What did you do last night?" or "How about that game!" It is a film that both genders can appreciate. It is rated PG-13 so the language and nudity aren't intense. Fast-forward through the love scene if there are children or pre-teens around.

SDPD Wages War on Racial Profiling By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Sergeant Robert Lewis of the San Diego Police Department gave a symposium on the problems surrounding racial profiling in San Diego County at 1:00 p.m. last Thursday in Academic Hall, room 402. Lewis, who has been on the force for 17 years, is the department's expert on racial profiling and works as a community relations officer liaison to Chief of Police David Bejarano. According to Lewis and the SDPD, "Any officer who targets a citizen based solely on their race and for no other reason, that officer is guilty of racial profiling." Even during a time in this nation's history when people have seen a dramatic reduction in crime in virtually every major city in America over the last 10 years, the subject of racial profiling has remained a veritable hotbed of controversy. What makes this issue so controversial is not only the fact that it is almost impossible to prove that a person has been a victim of racial profiling, but that it is, at times, even more difficult to discern whether or not people have actually been racially profiled in the first place. From Jan. to Dec. 2000, the SDPD participated in a "vehicle stop study" in order to provide the community with a comprehensive view of vehicle stops conducted by its officers. According to Lewis, the desired outcome of this study was to help the police and the surrounding communities achieve a better understanding of police practices and to ensure fairness. The SDPD believes that by instituting the study, they can allay public perception of racial profiling by officers, strengthen police/community partnership, and retain trust and credibility with citizens. The department was also confident that the results of the data would prove that they honor their claim that they do not practice racial profiling. . Contrary to department claims, the results of the study showed that Hispanics and African Americans were overrepresented in vehicle stops in comparison to San Diego's driving-age resident population. Hispanics represent 20.2 percent of the population in San Diego, but they represented 29 percent of all vehicle stops. Similarly, African Americans represent 8 percent of the population of San Diego, but they represented 11.7 percent of two-pronged attack. First, they vehicle stops in 2000. intend to participate in more in-depth analyses to clarify and Furthermore, the study shows explain apparent patterns in that once stopped, Hispanics and the vehicle stop data.

These ensembles tended to be much livelier tunes and Lamond encouraged the audience to freely engage in clapping and foot tapping. Macisaac performed several lively solo songs on her violin as well. Many of these songs had an aspect of familiarity about them, probably due to the influence of Scottish and Irish folk music on America's own folk music tradition.

Faces of America Confronts Race Relations By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Fran de Leon performed in the play Faces of America Friday, October 25, at Miramar College in San Diego. The unorthodox one-performer show is a commentary on race relations and racial and ethnic stereotypes in the United States. Faces of America was coproduced by Colin Cox and Fran de Leon. Cox wrote the script based on interviews with approximately 100 individuals from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. In addition t a de Leon, four other actors perform the show at alternate times as it tours the country. De Leon gave an amazing performance, portraying seven different characters from seven different racial/ethnic groups during the one-hour show. Using facial expressions, gestures, accents, posture, various idioms, and superficial costume changes de Leon presented the audience with seven vivid char- acters and seven different angles on race relations in the United States. Co-producer Cox's script is bursting with nuance and insightfulness. The characters dialogue captures their feelings and internal thought processes with a precision and economy that is startling, and de Leon executes the script so effortlessly that the show appears almost improvised. generation American. Along the same lines, a PhilippineAmerican doctor recounts her experiences with the tenacious assumption that as a female of Philippine ancestry she must be a nurse. Significantly, many of the characters are of mixed racial and ethnic backgrounds and their struggles to come up with precise linear definitions of their race and ethnicity provides both an element of humor and a key to The structure of Faces of one of the themes of the show.

An African-American man who has earned a PhD and achieved economic prosperity reflects that, in spite of his hard work, many Caucasians assume that he has stolen his BMW and is using his cell phone to conduct drug deals. The message of the show is built into its very structure. As mentioned earlier, many of the characters are of mixed ancestry and strain at identifying themselves along racial or ethnic lines. This situation makes clear that defining individuals in terms of race and ethnicity is intrinsically racist and unworkable. Modern changes in demographics will ultimately render such distinctions obsolete. The inexorable tide of travel, immigration, and intermarriage will sweep away the older views of race and ethnicity. The fact that one Asian woman can so deftly portray people from several different racial and ethnic groups is a credit to Fran de Leon's acting ability; however, it is also and indication of how superficial the perceived differences between these groups really are. Some of the characters in Faces of America dwell on their disadvantages almost to the point of becoming caricatures. The melancholic descriptions they give of their wounded lives border on masochism. Yet, this overstatement is not merely an incidental flaw in the show. By taking stereotypes to the breaking point of credibility the show damages the validity of those Faces of America receives its same stereotypes. funding from the colleges and other organizations who sponsor Faces of America works its performance for their students because it shows rather than tells and other members. the audience the inaccuracy and futility of racial stereotyping. �Treasure Today, Trash Tomorrow the design of garbage should become the great public design of our age. I am talking about the whole picture: recycling facilities, transfer stations, trucks, landfills, receptacles, water treatment plants, and rivers. They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age." Mierlè Laderman Ukeles is the first artist in residence at the New York Landfill on Stanton Island. By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer As the saying goes, one person's trash is another person's treasure. This is definitely true when it comes to environmental artist, Mierle Laderman Ukeles. She is the only artist in residence at the New York City Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island. About 100 people showed up last Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2002, for Ukeles' fascinating presentation on Maintenance Art. She began with her work in the 1970s, where she struggled to make known to the public the importance of maintenance workers from housewives to sanitation workers. One of Ukeles' earliest works involved the need for appreciation of security guards. Her point of view was that these security guards are in effect gatekeepers; they decide who gets in and who gets locked out. To prove her point to the public, she took over an art museum by selectively locking the doors, entrances, and exits to the different exhibits and the building itself. This re-enactment, on her part, of what security guards performed on a daily basis provided a strong connection between freedom and maintenance workers. Autumn in New York Perhaps one of the best-known displays of her artistry began on Nov. 7, 1974, on an east coast college campus. The exhibit was broken up into three installments as she took on the duties of a lawn maintenance worker. As this performance took place during autumn in New York, the changing of color and consequent death of leaves occurred all around throughout the display on the lawn. Her first challenge was to rake and keep clear a perfect rectangle on the lawn, without allowing a leaf to fall within the rectangle; this rectangle was the chosen portion of the lawn that would be saved from the suffocation by falling and dying leaves. Her next installment consisted of engineering a 50-foot long sanitary napkin for the 100- year old tree, which she metaphorically saw as being on its period. appreciation. California in a Jar In California, Ukeles is known for her work in providing closure for Los Angeles area residents after the riots of 1992. Since the riots involved so much fire and rage, Ukeles worked with the sanitation department to set up an exhibit of unburnings. People were invited to create unburnings in glass jars. Although, they were never told what an unburning was to look like, it was very much a process art in which the creation of the piece allowed for each person to release emotions brought on by the riots After the giant sanitary napkin and put them in a jar. was built at the base of the tree, she read aloud to the passing people, One high school boy built a small "O Tree, you are having your bed within his unburning jar, his period, everyone is saying how point being that now everyone in beautiful it is." the world can have a bed to dream in, even if it is only within a jar.

It is this process of death which After the exhibit was set up displays one of the most beautiful within the museum for people to sights in autumn.

Her work with the New York sanitation department allowed more freedom for its employees. Trash and the Future These workers were once treated as if they were the same as the garUkeles feels very strongly about bage they worked with, but Ukeles' her art, "Trash is a social sculppublic exposure allowed for public ture. The design of garbage should become the great public design of our age. I am talking about the whole picture: recycling facilities, transfer stations, trucks, landfills, receptacles, water treatment plants, and rivers. They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age that tell the time and the health of the air, the earth, and the water. They will be utterly ambitious - our public cathedrals. For if we are to survive, they will be our symbols for survival." After her presentation, she allowed for questions from the audience and offered advice to students. "Pile all of your dreams into here and mangle the boundaries while you are at it! As Chavez is a symbol for this university, this is the university of a chance for everyone. And if you believe in what you are doing, hang in there. When you get turned down, you keep trying because the jury will be different next time and they may love you. You keep going until they realize that you aren't going to leave," urged Ukeles. She ended her discussion with a photo of a gas field in the Fresh Kills Landfill, the final resting place of the World Trade Center that was destroyed nearly a year ago; making the truth well-known, what is considered a treasure today, may be considered trash tomorrow. Ukeles dedicated her presentation to her father, Rabbi Laderman of Denver, Co., as her presentation took place on the anniversary of his death. �ByRIA CUSTODIO Arts Editor Colors - an intrinsic, phenomenal, plethora of colors. Seussical the Musical toasts an acid trip specifically geared towards children and adults that revel in the sweet, seduction of childhood innocence. The loosely based, Seussical the Musical offered the message Dr. Seuss conveys in his books. Dr. Seuss directed messages to adults about political injustices and the simple fairness of treating people the way you want to be treated, if not better. The musical, conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flahery and Eric Idle, opened with an interpretation of people's situations and how these situations in turn affect other people. Seussical the Musical opened at the San Diego Concourse on Tuesday, Oct. 29 to an audience of whimsical children and adults alike. Magic filled the air as the curtain opened to past gymnast and actress, Cathy Rigby, as "the Cat in the Hat." Children stood mesmerized by the multitude of colors and the rhythm and rhyme of the musical. Seussical the Musical told a tale of simplicity.

It was raining last Saturday, the dirt bike trip was cancelled and the suggestion of wanting to go to a movie seemed appropriate. We went to the movie Ghost Ship, which was okay but definitely not as scary as Stephen King would have made it, but before leaving the theatre came the question, "Want to try and sneak into Jackass: The MovieV' I had no intention of paying to see this movie but the idea of sneaking in sounded like a good proposal. Please acknowledge that I am not suggesting anyone should sneak in. The problem is I am in my forties and so is my date and the idea of sneaking into movies should have ended a long time ago. We headed down the hall to the other side of the theatre and there was a manager checking tickets outside the entrance! I had never seen this before. The movie was sold out and there were kids under age trying to sneak in. "Can I help you, folks?" he asked politely. "Uhh, theatre 8?" "Down the other side of the theatre?" he says. "Thanks!" we say politely back and head back the other way. Darn are plans has been smashed. We decide to try for Barber Shop but we had to wait till the theatre was cleaned. While we waited, I was thirsty so we decided to get a drink and pos- idea of Jackass came from trying to get into "Funniest Home Video" although I found out later that they were trying to get on Howard Stern but Stern thought they were nuts and MTV picked them up. Knoxville and his buddies have succeeded in making a multi-million dollar movie by doing exactly what I am having trouble doing, growing up. So one might walk out of the movie thinking why didn't I think of that?

While waiting in line my date scoped out the situation. I noticed that we were not the only individuals trying to sneak into the movie. There were lots of disappointed, t-shirted guys in their twenties walking through the hallways saying, "Well, which movie do you want to go to then?" While waiting in line for the coke, my date said, "Okay he's moving away from the door, he's coming this way. Are you ready? Come on, come on, lets go!" We briskly start walking avoiding eye contact as we pass by the manager. Soon as we passed the manager we brpke into a full-blown sprint, at exactly the same time, two adolescent kids jump off the bench and break out into a run in front of us. I am so embarrassed and laughing my The question is would I have eventually paid money to go to this movie. Being an older woman probably not, but I am glad to say I did laugh a lot, all of you guys should definitely go, and girls go ahead, too. It is very amusing to see how dumb men can be. Guys like to watch women do mud wrestling but we, woman like watching how stupid men can be. And I feel it was very important for me to sneak in but I am not suggesting you try it.

Punch Drunk Love is labeled a romantic comedy, but is unlike your normal run of the mill love story. It plays on your emotions giving you a full array of feelings from beginning to end.

His successful scheme to get f requent flyer miles from the purchase of "Healthy Choice;" food items {which is something a reallife person did) and his struggles with being an introverted social misfit and having a nervous disposition are things which did not keep Lena Leonard from wanting to be iii his life. Barry's inability jto function normally and have normal relationships with the opposite sex come under direct and blunt scrutiny from his sisters. Barry then meets a woman who has a unique interest in him, despite having been friends with his sister who doesn't speak kindly of him. Emily Watson is the mysterious love interest in the film as Lena Leonard. Watson is also known for her performances in Breaking the Waves and Angela's Ashes. Lena wanders into Barry's life at a most unusual time, but she definitely gives him direction and hope. She helps Barry to face some of his darkest fears and emotions that in his past have pushed him to the point of raged fits of anger and physical aggression towards objects like a restaurant bathroom and windows at his sister's house. Lena brings warmth and love to his life that no one has ever The story is like a Monet, from afar I thought it was just a simple love story, but as I continued to watch it unfold and got closer to the heart of the s tory,! realized the true complexity to which the. characters were built on and Sandler and Watson so perfectly brought to life. ,J r The film will without a doubt leave audiences feeling differently about Sandler's acting abilities as well as satisfied with another spectacularly directed film by P.T.

To some, the idea of a California State University playing within the constructs of a men's adult baseball league, in a season the consists of a mere 14 games, may appear to be a rather humble beginning. This may very well be true, but a beginning is a beginning nonetheless. When asked about the longThe pressure is on for students hoping to join CSUSM's baseball team.

A P CUM SurfTeam Straggles jhraighlMWater SS SS By Joy Whitman For The Pride The ASI CSUSM surf team has been having a more difficult time earning points this season to become a top ten competitor in the national standings. Although the depth of the entire team has thickened, in comparison to their first season the new depth does not seem to be immediately paying off in their end results. Volunteer coach, Amber Puha, attributes these struggles to a lack of improvement from last season and levels of misfortune. In each of the past two events, there have been three out of six players that have advanced out of round one. Newcomer Grayson Adams was the sole survivor in round three at a Ventura event: The special teams unit seemed to be the teams' survival guide for these past two events. Longboarder Dustin Franks took one win at the first event in Ventura and a second place at event two, held at Blacks Beach on Nov. 2 and 3. Bodyboarder George Demarino and women shortboarder each helped keep the team afloat by clinching points and earning a second and fifth place at Blacks upon rebounding from the rough spots in the first few rounds. in thefinalround. In comparison to last years Ponto event held in Carlsbad, the team is down from 74 points with 6 out of 9 competitors and a sixth place finish. In Huntington last year, the team had scored 68 points with a 7th place finish gained by its 7 out of 9 competitors. Puha also recognizes the improvement by returning players, especially The team earned a total of 60 in the men's shortboard division points at Ventura and 69 points specifically from UCSD, SDSU at Blacks and earned a 10th place and USD. The question now remains a matter of how the CSUSM team will respond to this increased talent pool. They have two or more events remaining, not including state championships that will be their final chances to qualify them for nationals and to also prove themselves worthy of a shot at the national title.

By JESSICA A. KRONE Sports Editor California State University San Marcos won the men's cross country competition and the women's team came in as the runners-up at the Titan Invitational at Carbon Canyon Park in Brea on Friday Oct. 25th. The Cougar men were led by sophomore Rene Reyes, who dominated the men's individual 8K race with his first place finish. The CSUSM women were once again paced by the fabulous frosh, Anne Marie Byrne, who finished seventh in the women's 5K. The CSUSM men's team won the team championship with 24 points, ahead of second-place UCLA. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) ranked the men's team 4th nationwide. There were 76 runners and seven teams who participated in the tournament. "Overall, the whole group ran personal best times for the season. The course was prettyflat,but the grass was pretty mushy and slippery, which made it a bit difficult to run in," described Camille Wilborn, a CSUSM senior from Rancho Buena Vista High School in Oceanside. Reyes finished first overall with impressive time of 25: 36.1. Junior Robby McClendon improved his personal best by about 28 seconds with his third place time of 25:56.6. "I am hoping to PR (personal record) at regionals by at least another 20 seconds," McClendon, a business major out of Truckee, CA, insisted. He was followed by fifth place runner, junior Mike Shannon who earned a new personal record time of 26:03.7. Senior Brian Sullivan came in with a sixth place finish and time of 26:08.7.

This will allow them to be well-rested and to have fresh, strong legs when it matters most. "We run about 75 miles per week, but will soon be cutting it down to 40.

X-Country Team Forms Blockade, Refuses Parking for Students By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer . In light of the recent discontinuation of curb parking, and despite the temporary lot, parking is still a major issue at CSUSM. Even if you decide that you will park in the temporary lot, as there are no other spaces, your car must be moved prior to 4 pm. Whoever thought of this brilliant plan was just a genius, because you know, here at CSUSM we only hold classes until 3:45 pm just like elementary schools, right? Wrong! Some people attend class from 9am until 7pm, so this means that students have-to take their breaks, assuming they have one long enough to walk to the lot and try to find another parking space in a paved lot. Plus, did this genius think of what is going to happen to the dirt parking lot when it starts raining? What about that dirt walkway on the slope to get out of the lot? As we enter our wettest time of the year, this may be something that the administration should have considered. then quickly gathered back up to make it impossible to drive down the row. They rudely shouted at passing cars that "this row is closed" and "no parking here." I decided that they were wrong; this was a parking lot, not a workout facility and I pulled into As if it weren't bad enough the spot despite their actions to that there are more cars than try keeping me out of it. suitable parking spaces as it is, the Cross Country team decided When I exited my vehicle, to hold their morning stretch in I inquired the team, coach the parking lot during rush hour included, as to why they were oh campus.

Then another After stalking my prey for member replied that the field parking, he told me that he was was in use by a physical educaparked right where the team tion class and thus they were was blocking his spot. They unable to stretch there. allowed for him to pull out but I decided that this was definitely a problem, not just for me, but also for the numerous vehicles stuck in the traffic jam caused by the obnoxious bunch. As I walked down to the field, I saw not a single person on the field or track, meaning no class was there at all. In response to their lie, I speculated that the cause for the Cross Country team's takeover in the parking lot was not due to a crowded field, which let's face it wouldn't be crowded if the school population stood on it, but due to the fact that the grass was cold and wet that morning and they didn't H opf want to get their shorts wet. Unfortunately, I think this is a horrible excuse for causing an early morning traffic jam, and I believe that disciplinary action should have been taken. Rather than an apology from the team, I received a sarcastic note on my windshield when I returned from class. The note stated, "Hope you have a better day." In response to the note, I would like to say on behalf of the student population, get out of our parking spaces and go where you belong and we would all have a much better day! y 0 u WAye A P.ETT ETL DAY . �Rock Your Own Vote Don't get me wrong.

Tristan Nickey The Pride / Photographer Fragmentation and the Cries of the Coyote By JAMES J. SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer V * Do you hear the cries of the coyotes as you leave your last class of the night? Or do you see them in the morning as they scatter across Twin Oaks? These top predators that dominate the coastal sage shrub and the chaparral ecosystems of Southern California are being pushed from their natural habitats due to fragmentation. The urban development rips free spaces from natural inhabitants like the coyote and other creatures. The recent real estate boom has put a big demand for new housing. Acre after acre animals like the coyote are driven closer to suburbia. Many domestic cats and dogs are found missing and yes it is possible that a coyote is responsible. But do you blame them? Not only are they affected by fragmentation but also so are many other animals like skunks, . squirrels, opossums and raccoons. Smaller creatures like reptiles suffer, too. Governing predators like the coyote, who dramatically change the consistency of the ecological communities will cause the decline in one species and the incline in another or vice-a-versa. Are humans so selfish that they have no regard for nature?

Unlike many other pageants, however, the scores of onlookers and the contestants themselves are not the only ones who benefit from a little eye-candy. "[The pageant] is an Alpha Chi tradition that does not just happen at our chapter," said Mr. Alpha Chi Chair Heather Grofik. "It is a fundraising event, part of our philanthropy." The pageant INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER consists of men from many different campus organizations competing for the title while raising money for the sorority's cause. This year, the proceeds will go directly to CSUSM and Alpha Chi Omega alumna Lauren Park, who was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

"Secondly, we will be conducting a test of our campus emergency notification systems at the end of University Hour. This will involve classroom announcements, tests of exterior loud-speakers, and telephone, email, and text message alerts." The event aims to "inspire Southern Californians to get ready for big earthquakes and to prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes," according to the Earthquake Country Alliance. A massive earthquake estimated at a magnitude 7.8 struck San Francisco in 1906 killing over 700 people. The fire that ensued resulted in the deaths an estimated 2,700 people. Many Californians easily recall the magnitude 6.7 Northridge earthquake in 1994 that killed 57 people and injured over 9,000.

"It's hard to get guys to compete in a pageant, so we have to have the girls go out and find them," she said. "Guys are a bit more nervous about the talent part of the show but everyone should realize that this is about having fun and being involved." Last year's Mr. Alpha Chi winner Francis Yambao admits at first he was not too sure he would compete, but said he is glad he decided to do it.

What to see around the Alps Germany> Austria and Northern Italy provide a mix of amazing scenery and historical landmarks BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor The area surrounding the Swiss Alps is alive with amazing architecture, a rich history and beautiful sceneryThe alps arc visiblefromGermany Austria and Northern Italy. The close proximity of these small but fascinating countries allows tourists to easily visit various locations of great historical significance datingfromthe twelfth century to just a few decades ago. Reifenstein Castle Construction on Reifenstein Castle began in 1170. This twelfth century casde is the best originally preserved medieval castle in Italy. The countess who owns, and lives in, the castle offers tours to the public for a small price. The casde is most famous for the green hall, that makes medieval life look comfortable, and for the collection of period weapons that it contains. Visitors are also able to see the period-style kitchen, the knights sleeping quarters, the living quarters and all the aspects ofmedieval castles that make them unique. The castle is complete with an outer wall, a garden on the inside grounds, a drawbridge, and a dun- geon. Located on the second story, the dungeon is a small hole in die floor through which prisoners where dropped in to pitch blackness with no food and very little water for the duration of their imprisonment. The castle is located in a scenic area with lush, green landscape that is untouched by humans, save only the nearby sister casde Sprechenstein, for as far as the eye can see. The Residence at Innsbruck Marie Antoinette is perhaps the most famous queen in history. Born an archduchess of Austria in 1755, Marie Antoinette spent most of her young life at the residence in Innsbruck before she left for France to marry King Louis XVI at the tender age of 14 . Spoiled by luxury her entire life, Marie Antoinette became infamous for her lavishness while her people were starved in poverty. Walking through the halls of the Residence at Innsbruck it is easy to see why she expected extravagance. From the gold trimmed family tree hall to the lavish living quarters to the abundance ofdining and entertaining halls the home left nothing to be desired. Visitors will enjoy living the high life while walking through the childhood home of the woman who became victim of the guillotine, by the hands of her own people, during the French Revolutioa The Castles of Mad King Ludwig King Ludwig II is one of the most mysterious and fascinating characters in the history of Germany. Born in 1845, King Ludwig II became king of Bavaria at the age of 18 when his father passed away. The young king quickly became obsessed with building castles, and drained the Bavarian treasury making them as elaborate as possible. His most elaborate castle was Neuschwanstein, the castle Walt Disney modeled Sleeping Beauties Casde after. The casde is set on a mountain in the Bavarian Alps. Visitors to the magnificent edifice are able to visit the king's quarters, the kitchen, servants quarters, the throne room and various other completed rooms. After spending a fortune on the castle, Ludwig only spent 11 nights in his beloved masterpiece of a • home before he was found dead in ariverunder mysterious circumstances. Though little is known of Ludwig and his life and death, his magnificent casdes will forever pay tribute to his name. Munich and the Holocaust Germany is most infamous for a history it has spent decades trying to overcome, Hider and the Holocaust. Visitors to Munich, Germany can walk the streets Hider walked, stand where he gave speeches to histhrongs of followers and even visit concentration camps. The city offers various tours of Munich, including a Third Reich tour that takes visitors on a tour of places of historical significance to the life of Adolph Hitler. Dachau, one of Munich's suburbs, is home to the Dachau Concentration Camp, the first concentration camp in Nazi Germany that was used as a prototype and model for the camps that followed. Dachau was a work camp, meaning it only housed men and was not used for genocide, though it does contain a gas chamber and a crematorium. Visitors are able to tour the holding cells, the bunks of the prisoners, a museum and the gas chamber and crematorium. The camp is placed in a small, scenic town with nice middle-class homes placedjust feetfromthe wall of the camp. The iron gates leading into the camp read "Arbeit macht ftei," meaning work will make you free, the irony of which is disturbing.

Jenkins, the legendary sportswriter and novelist, at 79-years-old, has released what will likely be his last work offiction.The Franchise Babe is full of hilarious moments as it chronicles the life and times of Ginger Clayton, a burgeoning young talent on the LPGA Tour who, at 18-years-old, is finding stardom, and many obstacles on the way. Her great looks and prodigious talent make her the proverbial "Franchise Babe." Other main players in the novel are Jack Brannon, a magazine writer who has left his comfort zone covering the PGA Tour in favor of the LPGA, and Thurlene Clayton, Ginger's mother. These two have a goofy courtship while trying to maintain their professional and parental roles, with Jack trying to remain an objective journalist, and Thurlene aprotective parent Along the way, Ginger is hounded by what has become all too common in professional sports today: sleazy hangers-on and greedy sports agents. As the novel winds through, it pokes fun at how ridiculous the commercialization of sports has become. For instance, in the closing chapters, the name of a major LPGA event is called the "Colgate-Dinah Shore Kraft Nabisco Le Grand Cheval Championship." Jenkins uses this as an exaggeration to be sure, but it points out how the names of sporting events just keep getting longer and longer due to corporate sponsoring. The work further satirizes how image has become more important than talent when it comes to endorsements and how crazy people can get when large sums of money are thrown their way. Among the other things the novel contains: drunken CEOs making a mockery of black tie events, competitors being paid by overzealous sports moms to injure fellow competitors, and boozy caddies disappearing with their player's belongings. With regard to the three main characters, the novel has a rather predictable ending but the bumps in the road they all find on the way leave one laughing and unable to put the book down. "The Franchise Babe" is not quite as good as some of Jenkins' past works such as "Dead Solid Perfect" and "You Gotta Play Hurt" but it is still contains his trademark semilowbrow-but-always-funny style. For a light and easy read that will make you laugh, "The Franchise Babe" is a winner mm Image courtesy of amazon.com BY eB Some people think its love they keep holding on to Literature and W riting students h ost student r eading BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER A & E Editor Creative writing students from CSUM gathered in Markstien 125 at 7 p.m. for the second Creative Writing Community and Workshop reading. Participants from the creative writing community at CSUSM read from a variety of genres including memoir, poetry, short fiction, science fiction/ fantasy, and a pantoUm. Some students read multiple pieces and other's read a single large piece. Readings covered topics on family, immigration, racial equality, relationships, and personal experiences. Presenters included Molly Dale, April Gigliottie, Jerrica Escoto, Lori Greenstone, Jayrd Weiss, Melissa Haklitch, Jaclynn Carbajal, Andrew Garai, t.d. rust, Stefanie Lamkin, Ellie Yambrach, Jeannine Clark, and Joseph Iraggi. Ellie Yambrach, a Literature and Writing student, has been writing poetry since her teen years, ând gave her f irst reading this Thursday. Yambrach read two of her poems entitled, Don't Tell Me and Not Yet. Yambrach says of her experience, "I wasn't sure how my poetry would be accepted by the audience. I hoped that thé meanings of the poems and they way I presented them were clear enough." Yambrach adds that she would "absolutely"^ give another reading if the opportunity presents itself again. Poetry is i m p o r tant to Yamas a method of expression through "economy of words." She uses the Creative Writing Community and Workshop club as tool for peer evaluation saying of her fellow creative writing students, "I respect their opinions and suggestions and wouldn't hesitate to have them go over my work and as always, I love to see theirs in progress." Jeannine Clark, a Literature and Writing student, read three of her poems on Thursday night. Clark read Peter's San Diego inspired by her mechanic, You Inspire Me, and Jungle Garden which was written in her own garden. Clark expresses why creative writing is important to her saying, "It allows me to have a voice, to discover what's going on inside of me and to work out what's going on outside of me. I feel creative expression is so valuable it takes a lot of courage to do. Writers are some of the braves people on the planet; the pen is mightier than the sword!" Another student reading is tentatively scheduled for the beginning of December. Students who wish to participate in the reading should submit their work to csusmcreativewritingcommunity@gamil. com Poetry P rose- sometimes is something you find yourself stuck to like a tissue to a shoe after coming out of the restroom.

Thompson /The Pride Cougars find hidden gem in Mama Kat's Restaurant & Pie Shop BY KRISTINA LAWLER Business Manager Hidden in a run down s hopping center on San Marcos Blvd is Mama Kat's Restaurant & Pie Shop. At first glance, you wouldn't think that it was something worthy of your time, but I assure you that it is something you don't want to miss out on. Walking into the restaurant you feel as if you are magically transported into a small town in the mountains, with the homelike atmosphere of your mother's kitchen. The staff is extremely friendly and as some regulars come in, they greet them by name. The motto around these parts is "Comfort food at it'sfinest,"and I would whole-heartedly agree. I myself have had two different meals here. My first trip consisted of a half of a turkey and ham sandwich with avocado on wheat and a side of fries. It was, simply put, the best deli sandwich I have ever had. My fiance and I spoke little if no words during our lunch there, because the food was that good. Other things they offer for lunch include: hamburgers, griddle sandwiches, salads, dogs, and chili. Of course I couldn't just judge a place on one meal there so I returned to have breakfast. Their breakfast menu has so many good choices that I didn't know what to order. These choices included: The Great American Breakfast, their signature cream sausage gravy, homemade benedicts including their signature overdone feeling, but rather the it better. So, before you drive all the way out to Julian for those holihollandaise sauce, pancakes, French happy content feeling. Of course, I had to try their day pies, look no further than right toast & waffles, specialty omelettes, skillets, breakfast burritos, and pie—it is, after all, a Pie Shop.

Nothing happened. Plenty of times before, to be naked was a necessity for the continuation of romance beginning a fter sunset to sunrise. For several minutes I stared at her sleeping f ace and came to the decision to test my luck this morning because I want t o start my day off good rather than boring like yesterday and the day before. I am f ully rested and she's not. The a fternoon was sneaking up and she is still in the deepest slumber. I suddenly started to remember some stories she told me of when she was a child. She was never the one to complain when it was naptime; when bedtime came around she reminded her mother that it was time. I thought for sure she would not only hear me whisper "I love you" but feel my lips say it well as I placed my hand between her legs. Nothing happened. Not even tickled. She's dead to the world. Today is not the day for a fternoon delight. I 've got things to do. I rritated I rolled over, t urning my back on her like I did yesterday and the day before yesterday. Reaching over the side of the bed, I grazed the f loor with my palm for any T-shirt or any undergarment to cover all that ¿was covered by sheets. My moving caused her to move closer to me. Grabbing my waist, she kissed my neck and held me; we looked like two spoons in a utensil drawer. I got goose bumps like I did the f irst night that we were together when the tension to get close was building. I licked my lips and took the kiss as a sign of great things to come. I rolled over and found myself in the same predicament a few moments before. "I love you." But nothing happened. Her limbs lay as heavy on my. skin like the thoughts of intimacy on my mind on a morning slowly t urning into a fternoon like yesterday and the day before. Her eyes remained clojsed and the little movement she-made a moment before went forgotten. I could only dwell on sound of her shallow, comfortable breathing and the thoughts of how long this would continue. Would she sleep until one, two, or three t hirty? My speculation was driving me mad. I knew I wasn't going to win. The alarm sounded; her eyes opened and it was time for me to stop t rying to f igure out why we d idn't start our day with sexual heart attacks a fter my attempts to feel up her thigh. I had a slight attitude when I rose up out of bed. "What happened?" she asked. "NOTHING...like u sual" "Don't you remember last n ight?" she asked. I couldn't really. I d idn't even remember getting home—let alone getting naked. Good point. "Last night was awesome!" she said. And then I saw the bottle at the foot of the bed and remains of what once was a m arijuana cigarette. Something did happen. I c ouldn't remember. The holidays are here.

What, exactly, is a Head End Room you may ask, and you should. The Head End Room is the Master Control Center for CSUSM's satellite and Closed Circuit TV System (CCTV). This advanced technology will allow professors to show videos, 16mm films, laser discs, and slides with the aid of computerized remote control on the TV monitors currently provided in all classrooms in Academic Hall. Through the use of this equipment, professors will have the "capability to simulcast the same program in more than one room at a time, e.g. General Education courses" said Steve Wiener, Media Production Specialist and coordinator for the Head End Room. Instructors can select media applicable to their subject well in advance of the lecture date and with the flick of a switch, bring the world into the classroom. The system also provides f or the d ownlinking of s atellite b roadcasts supplementing current Daniels Cable programming which can then be relayed to designated classrooms and/or conference rooms on campus.

By Kathy Simpson Pride Staff Writer More than a few students are hoping that the two new buildings behind ACD and the science building will contain some rooms suitable f or large classes. Reason: The few lecture rooms we do have on campus aren't enough to accommodate all the large classes. Biology 201, for example, has about 90 students enrolled. On exam days, some students are forced to sit on the floor because there aren't enough desks. "No student should ever have to take an exam sitting on the floor," said Biology 201 student Martin Kazoka. "Enrollment shouldn't exceed the number of desks." The room is so crowded that biology students who do not arrive early must sit in the back of the room where they cannot see the board clearly, forcing them to track down students in the front later in order to copy their notes. Woman film maker to speak By Paul Hilker Pride Staff Writer Julie Dash, a nationally acclaimed film maker and writer, will comment on her film "Daughters of the Dust" and discuss women in film making at 6 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 18. "Daughters of the Dust" won first prize for cinematography at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Dash has attended a myriad of national and international film festivals while working for the Motion Picture Association of America, including the Cannes International Film Festival in France, and has studied at the National Film Theater of London and the British Commonwealth Institute. Dash focuses on her own experiences growing up in New York City as well as the experiences of other black women peers. "My films are about women at pivotal moSee Dash, pg. 8 "We practice survival of the fittest in this class," said Biology 201 student Craig Currie. aOnly the strong get a desk up front. I always get there 15 minutes early." Kathy Dauphine takes Chemistry 150 right before the Biology 201 class in the same room. "Biology people try to get there so early to get a good seat, they sometimes disturb the chemistry class while it's still in session," she said. Dauphine considers herself lucky, though: She's enrolled in both the chemistry and biology classes. Since she's already in the room, she d oesn't have to worry about getting a seat for biology. None of the students blame their instructors. Indeed, despite the crowded classroom, they say the quality of instruction is good. But they do point out that i t's a lot more difficult to learn when they have trouble seeing and hearing everything that is going on.

At the time, I was trying to figure out something to observe and write about, which was an assignment in one of my classes, and as observing and writing are what I do for this column as well, I saw the opportunity to kill two birds and decided to go f or it. Anyway, some of these people I was e avesdrop..! mean, observing, were talking about becoming accountants, a couple wanted to be teachers, and one wanted to do something that had to do with owning a big company and making lots of money. Although she was still uncertain as to what kind of company it was she wanted to own, she felt certain that the education she was getting at CSUSM would somehow help her reach her goal, which led the others to furiously nod in agreement. Suddenly, a voice, timid and wavering, broke though the rustle of nodding heads, causing me to stop sipping my Fruita Granita and lean closer in order to better accidentally overhear. Earlier, this same voice had proclaimed a burning desire to keep books and manage investment portfolios, and I wondered now, as did the table full of future CEOs, if my ears, admittedly damaged by years of exposure to rock and roll music played at levels approximating a j et plane's roar directly overhead, had overheard correctly. It repeated itself, though, and confirmed the groups deepest fears. The voice said, "Actually, if I had my choice, I 'd really rather be a writer." The group of managerial wannabes froze in mid-nod. They looked around the table, eyes darting back and forth between the voice and the rest of their f lock. Finally, another voice cleared itself and declared, "I always wanted to be a photographer." The tension in the group was felt as far away as where I was sitting and the division that took place between them was as obvious as if they had moved to separate tables. Clearly, these two individuals had struck a resounding chord with their proclamations and the rest of the group was either unable or unwilling to discuss them further. Then, I watched as the two tried to backtrack, almost apologetic in their explanations that, of course, hardly anyone really made a living from doing these things, and that it was important to get a good education so that you would have something to fall back on when you d idn't make it. The photographer also noted that although he had been taking pictures since he was 6 years old and had even won some awards for his pictures in high school, he did know that to actually be a photographer was only a fantasy and that those who became successful at it j ust happened to be in the right place at the right time or had some other " in" that made their career possible. About this time it dawned on me that I could have been watching myself 20 years o r so ago when I, too, had a burning desire to be a writer but felt that I needed a "real" j ob if I were to be truly successful in life. So, I started my own company, made lots of money and got up every single morning wishing I d idn't have to get out of bed and go to work. But, I was successful, all right, and so will they be, my friends in the Dome. What I wonder, though, is why we are brought up to ignore our dreams, why, when we discover in ourselves a love for something, we push it aside if it does not fill some societal standard as to what it is to be successful. While it's true that we have to be able to make a living while gaining success with our chosen crafts, why does a would-be writer study accounting, or a photographer, business administration? Wouldn't it make more sense to learn the craft that you love, inside out, backward and forward, so that maybe you j ust might be so good at what you do that you find a way to make your own " in" and take yourself to the right place at the right time? A fter all, the worst case scenario would be a "real" j ob doing some facsimile of something you love, giving you all the more experience and expertise f or when the right time P lease s ee Rambler, p . 8 Can you find romance by studying abroad? Jennifer Elbert-Rasmussen did. Romance was not the objective of the International Relations major when she left for a year in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was just a happy side benefit. She met Lars Rasmussen five years earlier while she was studying in Mexico. They became friends, but did not see each other again until her family went on a trip to Scandinavia. She called and asked Lars to meet her in Copenhagen the next day. He did and romance blossomed. They visited back and forth from then on. The coupled married last Aug. 10, and returned to the United States two weeks later. "Lars is really stoked about the surfing," Jennifer said. "He likes it here, but I think adapting to any culture takes time, even if it is sunny California." While in Denmark, Jennifer took classes for her major as well as learning Danish and traveling to other countries, including a trip to Russia aboard an Aeroflot plane with broken seat belts and an emergency door handle that broke o ff. She visited Estonia and St. Petersburg. Although she enjoyed the trip to Russia, when she returned to Denmark, it was like coming home. "That's what happens when you stay a year," she said.

Contents©1996, JUe PuidE. Please recycle this newspaper Blind eye turned to real issue KEN VAN HORN I'm sure I'm not the only person who has been jconfused by what seems to be a double standard at CSUSM. The Associated Students of California State University at San Marcos began by declaring that Proposition 209 was, if I may paraphrase, penned by Satan and was a paranoid attempt to undermine equal opportunity and diversity in the work place, a.k.a. Affirmative Action. The wave of tolerance and diversity then moved on to what became known as the 'Teach In." On Oct. 21, the campus came together to affirm that racism and hate crimes would not be tolerated. Finally, a rally on Oct. 24, restated the universities position against 209. All of this action that had been taking place gave the outward impression of a system concerned with its stand on diversity. What bothers me is the conflict in defining the fine line between equal opportunity and that ugly little concept of quota-based hiring. It seems to me that all the authors of 209 wanted to eliminate was the pressure put on employers to hire based on race or gender. Basically, the intent of 209 was to do away with discrimination in hiring by eliminating point systems and preferences based on the quota sys- tem. It intends to level the playing field and give jobs to those who are most capable of filling the requirements. The proponents and opponents of 209 have been battling over the issue and the various speculations that it will open loopholes for discrimination. This seems ludicrous to me. Why is it that when we begin to speak about discrimination and equal opportunity, the concept of "may the best person win" is never understood? I don't believe that I 'm the only person who has had the rational to believe in the self preservation concept of business. Simply put, if I 'm an employer or manager and I have to hire someone, I 'm going to hire the most capable person. It's not an issue of fairness, but rather a rational equation that ends with me realizing either either profit or geting more production. Don't get me wrong on this issue. It has nothing to do with morals or political conscience. I 'd give my mom the boot if I knew Joe Schmoe was capable of increasing my account balance. All of that said, I feel the blind eye the university and students turned to the real issue of 209, the initiative to increase equality, really proved that bandwagon politics are in effect here. Maybe we need to review Marc Antony's strategy in Shakespeare's "Julius Ceasar." Specifically his views on mob mentality and how easily we're swayed. We don't give thanks enough PAUL HILKER Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between things that we want and things that we need. I know that I'd like to see some integrity in politics for once. I'd also like a job that pays well and is flexible around my school schedule. And, there are many other things I want that are not truly necessary, so many that I can't even list them all on this page. But what do I really need? Sure, we all need a few bare necessities to survive in today's society; a job, transportation, friends, education and, of course, food, shelter and clothing. But how many people do you know who have maintained a lasting sense of happiness with only these "bare necessities?" Society seems to dictate that we must constantly compare what we have to some exclusive standard of wealth. If you think that you are just scraping by, while complaining about rising gas prices, inflation or the general economy, try to reevaluate those thoughts for a moment. I have a friend who frequently says, T m bored. What do you want to do?" He has the luxury of not having to worry about working for a living. His father, a building contractor, owns three houses in Northern California, leases a place at the North-Star ski resort in Lake Tahoe and makes (in a good year) more than $750,000. My friend, who is 19, lives by himself in a house that has surrounding property valued well over $1 million. Thanks to his family's wealth, he can entertain himself whenever and however he wants. Yet he's "bored." He is wealthy, but happiness seems to avoid his family like the plague. Many of us don't have time to feel bored because we're so busy making money, educating ourselves so that we eventually can make money, or both. Does money equal happiness? Maybe for a while. But what about perpetual happiness? And, yes, there is such a thing. When I consider the opportunities and the wealth that my friend has, and observe what he does with those opportunities, it forces me to take a second look at my own attitude towards life. I see time spent with loved ones and friends consumed by individual wants and needs, and what's left is a few hours on weekends or during holidays to truly enjoy life. We tend to spend so much of our time in the acquisition of time and money that we don't take time to relax and think about the things that we already have. Indeed, we take them for granted. And then, striving in our own "pursuit of happiness," .we begin to treat others like they're contestants in a rat race; a never-ending competition for happiness. The cliche, "The more you have, the more you want," seems to be more and more prevalent as we become callous and indifferent to each other's needs and focus more on our own wants. Try to step back for a moment and take a look at the things you already have and realize something: They are only to be had for a very short time. Is that paycheck so vital that we're cheating ourselves out of time that should be spent on more valuable things? Instead of spending so much time acquiring, we should be spending more time appreciating. Try it. You may find that life can be much richer, and that your pursuit of happiness doesn't lie anywhere near banks, credit cards or checkbooks �The Pmde, Wednesday, Novea&eK 1 3,1996 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teach-in a success, Applaud those who clean up the mess censored student I found Oct 21 to be informative and interesting. I am amazed to see the amount of effort put into it. I do have a major complaint, however. There is tape leftover from flyers and posters sticking to the walls and windows and railings all over the school. The chalk on the ground is acceptable, but on the walls? There is chalk writing on the pillar near the snack machines (5th floor/outside/ Craven Hall), and it ain't comin' off! The mess left by the advertising for Oct 21 is dissapointing, and I hope other activity oiganizers will not see it fit leave such a mess. I am proud to attend CSUSM, and would love to see a bit more respect for the buildings. Sincerely, Jens Knuefken S enior/HTM Major Defending Vegan/ Animal Rights club In the October 16, 1996 issue of The Pride Joseph Sedlmeyer wrote that he is "sick of extreme animals rights activists who will put their lives on the line to save a sewer rat, yet scream and cuss in the face of pro-lifers who hold an opposing viewpoint." I'd like to ask Mr. Sedlmeyer who he is referring to because there is no Animal Rights activist on our campus who fits that description and as the CSUSM Vegan & Animal Rights president I would know. Since Mr. Sedlemeyer's letter was aimed at "Cal State San Marcos in particular," his attacks on Animal Rights Activists smacked of the result of faulty assumptions and value judgments. Also, since Mr. Sedlmeyer's letter came from such a strong Christian perspective, he should probably know that many Biblical scholars believe that Jesus was a member of the Essenes, a Jewish religious sect that followed a strict vegetarian diet and rejected animal sacrifices. The New Testament—written more than a century after Jesus' death—probably referred to Jesus as a fish- or meat-eater because of mistranslations from the Greek or to appeal to meat-eating Christians in Rome CAnimal Times_ Sept./Oct. 1995).

J ust b efore the Fall '96 s emester started, several students showed interest in Peter Rauch joining the V&AR club in order to learn (AKA Animal) more about the benefits of a vegan diet. At the time Ms. Ballard, apparently speaking on behalf of the club, and in direct opposition to the academic advisor, stated several times that no one would be allowed to join the V&AR club who didn't agree with everything the club stands for. Although the academic advisor assured students that anyone would be allowed to join, Ms. Ballard In the Oct. 16,1996 issue of The Pride, remained adamant on the point claiming if Denise Ord asked me how I could possishe were forced to allow such people to bly know "if the animal experiments conjoin, she would not include them in club ducted on campus are 'cruel.'"

(Imagine such a cruel and viscous professor!) However, the real uproar occurred when Ms. Ballard suggested boycotting the CSUSM Pow Wow. She said, "Did you know that the Pow Wow is full of people wearing dead furry creatures such as mink in their hair? Fur is not fashionable in any culture. Do not stand for it." Although there is nothing wrong with boycotting an event which somehow violates personal beliefs, many people seemed deeply offended at her flippantly suggesting students should not stand for other cultures who practice religious ceremonies which she finds offensive. After several posts confronted the racist nature of her original post, Ms. Ballard became verbally abusive to everyone who confronted her. This included name calling, abusive and offensive language and Treat animals as you would like to be treated and if so how are they different from animals in laboratories? Is it ok to dominate beings of another species, but not of another religion/race/ethnicity/gender/sexual orientation/etc?

Find out how legs are amputated off of live frogs, how lobsters are mutilated, and what exactly a stereotaxic device is doing on our campus. In M s. O rd's f inal p aragraph she praised CSUSM for "offering comprehensive research opportunities to its students by using modern techniques." I'd like to know what "techniques" Ms. Ord finds so rewardingly "modern." It certainly couldn't be the old conditioned behavior experiment. It couldn't be probing animals either. A "modern technique" would be a c omputer p rogram, something that is widely available, quite suitable for your educational needs, and something that your teacher is not utilizing as an alternative to animal experiments. In Ms. Ord's final comment she called the animal lab a "necessary addition." Necessary for what? Necessary for you to treat living beings as expendable? What have you learned from first hand animal experiments that you could not have learned from a computer program, video, or model besides how to lack compassion? Goodnight and thank you!

C heck out T HE P RIDE'S re-designed w eb p age out the following address: http://iijuiiii.csusm.edu/pride �ENTERTAINMENT TheTmde, Wednesday, NovewktK 13, 1996 X-Files: the albums Jordan's new film educates, Big name artists entertains By Gabe Lundeen Pride Staff Writer Director Neil Jordan has always directed artistic and controversial films, from the gender-bending "The Crying Game" to the sensual and supernatural "Interview With The Vampire." Jordan's latest film, " Michael C ollins," f ollows t his t rack record. "Michael Collins" is a historical epic based on an Irish revolutionary leader who led his followers to revolt against the British, and the trials and betrayals he faced in doing so. Instead of portraying a lengthy, overdone piece of history that gives a blunt, one-sided vision of the facts, Jordan sticks to the factual while still allowing the audience to form its own opinion of the title character. Collins, the courageous, determined leader is played by Liam Neeson, who, after duds like "Before and After," gives his best performance since his Oscar-nominated one in "Schindler's List." Neeson gives the movie a center, as all characters seem to be only shadows behind his powerful acting j ob. One of the most interesting things Neeson does with Collins is show the duality of the man. While on one hand he is bent on liberating Ireland f rom English oppression, he also debates with himself as to whether the means he uses, guerrilla warfare, are justified by his cause. Unlike the steadfast confidence we saw in figures l ike W illiam Wallace f rom t he m ovie "Braveheart," Collins is at times unsure of his actions. T he supporting cast is also superb. Aidan Quinn and Alan Rickman give fine performances, and Julia Roberts shows us that she really can act, that she has been fooling all of us with her past few dreadful movie appearances. Integrated into the story is a deadly love triangle between Collins, C ollins' friend Harry Boland, played by Quinn, and Kitty Kiernan, played by Roberts. This gives the film a more human element to it, as historical epics like this one can often be bogged down by cartoon-like characters and an overabundance of violence. Jordan paints an accurate picture of history, and he has acknowledged where he took creative license, which was rare. "Michael Collins" both educates and entertains, and Jordan lets us blissfully forget we are learning. record new tracks Composer captures T.V. show's mood "The Truth and the Light" is the quintessential "X-Files" al"Songs in the Key of X" is something of an oddity in the bum on the market.

He titled his lec­ ture, “What I Found in Europe in the Wake of WWII.” Born in New York City in 1925, Ashe lived through the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was during his elementary school years that he learned of the begin­ nings of World War II and Adolf Hitler’s orders to send troops into the Rhineland in 1936. When he turned 11 years old, Ashe said he knew he wanted to enter the armed forces, but he feared that the war would be over before he was old enough to fight. In June of 1940, when he was 15 years old, Ashe graduated from high school, and entered college, enrolling in the ROTC program. He later joined the U.S. Army, and was sent to Fort Benning in Georgia for his training, which he referred to as “90 days of hell.” Ashe had been told that he should never volunteer for any­ thing in the Army. However when the 5th Army of General Mark Clark began searching for soldiers who spoke other languages, Ashe, who spoke French, Qerman, and Spanish, volunteered his services. Ashe, and other multilingual sol­ diers worked together to find con­ fidential war information from the German prisoners of war. He said he enjoyed the volunteer work, and felt “always a little behind the lines.” The Army later asked him to learn Russian and Japanese, which he learned in six weeks. While in Germany, Ashe aided in liberating concentration camps. Upon freeing the first camp, Ashe said he was “appalled at man’s inhumanity to man.” Ashe witnessed the emaciated, starving, and lice-ridden victims of the concentration camps, and said he realized how blessed he was to be an American citizen. He also witnessed the joy of the liber­ ation, including two Jewish men walking out of the camp, arguing about whether they should go to the U.S. or Israel. In 1945, Ashe also helped liberate other camps in Bavaria. While in Munich, Ashe became involved with the Dis­ placed Person’s Commission, which brought 350,000 people to the US. Ashe was one of the men in charge of deciding who could come to the U.S. and those who could not; those who came to the U.S. could not havea crimi­ nal record, could not have tuber­ culosis, and had to prove that they were displaced because of the war. >»Article Cont on page 2 Students Don Masks in Celebration of ASI’s 10th Anniversary Students pose fo r a photo in front o f a Masquerade backdrop. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) By LISA LIPSEY Pride Opinion Editor Friday night, approximately 220 students filled the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, for Associated Students, Inc.’s first masquerade ball celebrat­ ing ASI’s 10th anniversary. The evening featured a full spread of hors d’oeuvres and desserts, a cash bar, a disc jockey, danc­ ing, and a raffle for Mardi Gras masks and party favors. Litera­ ture and writing studies major Katrina Richert said, “This is so much fun, butl wish they would have told us there would be food. We went out to dinner before coming, and we could have saved a lot of money.”CSUSM students were admitted free of charge, and non-students paid $10 to attend the ball. The masquerade began at 7 p.m., and guests dressed in tuxedos, suits, and ball gowns. The last guests left around 12:15 a.m. “We decided on a masquerade theme because the original date was closer to Halloween time. When the date changed, advertising was already out,” said Chris Smith, ASI Afternoon Activities Chair­ man. “I would like to have seen more Latinos at the dance, but other than that, it was a lot of fun to be with the campus commu­ nity,” said Caty Angeles, a staff member for college of arts and science advising. Most of the masqueraders arrived by 9:30 p.m. “The turn­ out could be better,” said Smith, *but then again, if I wasn’t help­ ing with organizing the event, I wouldn’t be here yet; more people will start to show up around 10 p.m.” Throughout the evening, ASI photographers took pictures of friends and couples, apd guests either dined at tables or danced on the dance floor. These pictures will be available for purchase online at the CSUSM website. Kids o f all ages enjoyed dancing.

Frady, and Cecilia Boze, are the newest CSUSM employees filing lawsuits alleg­ ing racial and/or sexual discrimination. Ferguson filed charges against CSUSM at Superior Court in Vista on Oct. 31. Some of the charges Ferguson alleges in her lawsuit include racial and gender discrimina­ tion, retaliation, defamation, negligence, and assault and battery. Thomas Blair, director of Facilities; Chuck Walden, associate director of Facilities; Mike Rivera, lead carpenter of Facility Services; Tim Shine, building systems engineer of Facility Services; Rick Fish, lead locksmith of Facilities, and CSUSM are the defen­ dants in this case. Ferguson declined com­ ment about her lawsuit, saying, “I have been advised by my lawyer to make no comments.” Her attorney was unavailable to make any comments before press time. In her lawsuit files, Fer­ guson claims that she was denied wage increases, pro­ motion, job training and edu­ cational career opportunities afforded to Caucasian employ­ ees. She also claims that, because she is African Ameri­ can, she was continuously sub­ jected to different regulation, rules, and standards than her Caucasian counterparts. Ferguson also alleges that she'was forced to use a Porta-Potty instead of an indoor bathroom facility made avail­ able to male co-workers. Fur­ thermore, she claims to believe that her sex was a substantial factor, if not the sole factor, in CSUSM’s discriminatory treatment, according to court files. Thomas Blair, director of Facilities, could not be reached for comment after The Pride left messages at his office and via e-mail. Chuck Walden, another, defendant in Ferguson’s law­ suit, told The Pride to contact Rick Moore and declined to make any comment. »A rticle cont on page 3 �Coverage Enviromental Fair Showcases MEChA’s Film Questions Media reform. Students, like Shawn Harris, financial By JOY WHITMAN Another student suggested Ways to Preserves the Earth Pride Staff Writer had strong opinions about how looking outside of the college By CHRIS ING Pride Staff Writer The 22nd District Agricul­ tural Asspciation hosted Enviro Fair 2001 at the Del Mar Fair­ grounds Friday. The event show­ cased environmental, recycling and sustainable resource exhibi­ tors along with such well known associations as Surf Rider, Sierra Club, and I Love a Clean San Diego. “This is a great oppor­ tunity to meet professionals in various fields and to learn about things we can all do to improve the place we live in,” said Nancy Strauss, resource coordinator for the Agricultural Association; She added, “this event is about gath­ ering and sharing information education is part of our mission statement.” One of the more interesting exhibits featured a project from Greg Quirin’s auto shop class at James Madison High School in Clairemont. Quirin, with the help of assistant Dan McKinley, and student leader Jeannette Greary converted a 1983 diesel Volvo sedan to run entirely on used vegetable oil. “It may smell like french fries”, Quirin said, “but we’re getting 25 miles to the gallon,” The aptly named ‘Veggie Volvo’ has emissions drastically lower than any regular gas or diesel-powered auto, making it a much more environmentally responsible alternative. The veg­ etable oil, when mixed with lye and methanol, forms biodiesel, a fuel whose only by-product is glycerin and consequently emits 40 to 60 percent lower emissions than-common pollutants such as carbon monoxide. “Since most restaurants pay significant disposal fees, to have their cooking oil periodically removed,” Quirin said, “they are happy to have us take it away for free.” He noted the cost of biodiesel is “just over 50 cents a gallon.” Quirin explained ‘hat a t large restaurant will use 500 gal­ lons of oil a month, 90 percent of which can be used to make biodiesel. With the success of the Veggie Volvo, Quirin is now at work on converting a smaller Volkswagen Rabbit hoping it will achieve 45 to 50 miles per gallon. More than 30 companies and organizations, including both the city and county of San Diego, took part in the one-day fair, which also held a recycled art contest for San Diego artists. Strange and fascinating creations assembled entirely from recycled products greeted fairgoers upon arrival. A Using materials ranging from the commonplace: bottles, cans, wood, stained glass, screens, cardboard, and newspapers, to the quirky: bicycle and car parts, chicken and turkey bones, and even animal hair, artists con­ structed a wide range of pro­ vocative pieces. One artist had crocheted hundreds of recycled plastic shopping bags into a large abstract form, while another fash­ ioned a life-size cactus out of wine corks. CSUSM student Desmond Barca entered the art contest with an interpretive self-sculpture. He attached a plaster mold of his own face to a multitude of » A rticle cont. on page 4 A small group of students came together to question what war looks like following a film showing at the Visual and Per­ forming Arts Annex on Nov. 7. MEChA and Mexicanos tjnidos en Defensa del,Pueblo (M.U.D.P,) showed the film “The Panama Deception.” Prior to the presen­ tation Ricardo Favela, a member of MEChA and M.U.D.P. spoke briefly about the content of the film and introduced a speaker from M.U.D.P., Hector Muro. . Following the presentation, a dozen students discussed the film and related it to the present war in Afghanistan. Many stu­ dents discussed the idea that the media and the government may be imposing more anti-Ameri­ can biases with new stories on the anthrax wave and the possi­ ble connection with terrorism. WWII Veteran Speaks »A rticle cont. from page 1 After seeing the devastation of inhumanity in the concentration camps and the destruction of Munich, Ashe said, “My hatred of everything German was quite intense.” It wasn’t until decades later that he questioned his hatred when he saw German student tour­ ists on a bus in New York. He said he realized that he could not hate the younger generations that had nothing to do with WWII. Ashe returned to the U.S. in 1952, and now lives in San Diego with his wife, Bernice. Ashe briefly discussed America’s current war against terrorism, saying, “like now, WWII was a unifying event.” He ended his lecture, by asking the students whether or not this gener­ ation is ready for war. Take A Chance on Getting Published Submit to The Pride Literary Supplement truthful the government actually is and what citizens may or may not know. “Honestly I think it’s a really pissed-off white guy,” said Harris, in regards to the recent anthrax attacks. Students also discussed the idea that students need to be very critical of what they are reading in newspapers and mag­ azines and what they hear on the radio. “You need to be critical of what is going on around you and now more than ever attempt to discover the truth through other sources,” said Muro. One student suggested rais­ ing awareness by joining groups, both on and off college cam­ puses, that work to improve social conditions. One such group on campus is the Progres­ sive Activists’ Network, started by Erik Roper in an attempt to educate students about campaign clubs, and to the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice, another organization that is cur-: rently attempting to educate everyone about today’s events and to look at all sides of the war. According to a student, these groups by no means wish to demean events such as the trage­ dies of Sept. 11, but want people^ to see that there are more sides and to question all establish­ ments involved, and their pur­ poses for their involvements. M.U.D.P. is an organization whose efforts include the housing campaign in Fallbrook. M.U.D.P. is currently looking for donations for the Fallbrook Housing Proj­ ect in ways of materials, money, or time, and may be contacted by e-mailing MUDP1993@hotmail.com. Technology Comes > to Campus By KIMBERLY BOYARSKY Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, the campus will be flooded with the newest and latest of the high-tech world, courtesy of CSUSM’s annual Technology Fair. For those who are still having problems with minor things like turning on the computer, or tuning in to sta­ tions on the radio, there will be plenty of techies who can explain exactly how everything works. The event aims to pro­ vide students, faculty and staff with a view and insight to the technological services and appa­ ratuses available at CSUSM. The Technology Fair is open to anyone who is interested in attending, and guests are wel­ come to come and get a firsthand look at the newest advances offered in the world of edu­ cation; this technology assists those in positions of adminis­ tration and teaching, and assists students with the learning pro­ cess. Professors and faculty mem­ bers will demonstrate how web-based classes are working successfully for a variety of stu­ dents. The faculty members are also expected to show all of the course development tools used in the web-based courses offered to CSUSM students. One of the new and exciting additions to the fair is desktop videoconferencing. Demonstra­ tions of desktop videoconfer­ encing and how it works, and how it is being used on campus to create virtual meetings, are scheduled. The technology aims to make life at CSUSM more enjoyable and convenient. Students will experience, firsthand, the most recent tech­ nological advancements, and the inventions and outbreaks of tech­ nology that were created by members of the campus.

Those in attendance included the oldest and youngest marines and sailors at CSUSM. According to Lee, CSUSM Chief of Police Tom Schultheis is the oldest marine at Cal State San Marcos. Many are students. The Veterans’ Day celebra­ tion at CSUSM has evolved over the years. Last year, veterans on campus celebrated Veterans’ Day with a cake-cutting cere­ mony, and at the beginning of this semester, veterans held a Veterans’ Barbeque at the Dome Plaza. Associated Student, Inc. (ASI) and the CSUSM Veter­ ans’ Association sponsored the event. The Veterans’ Associa­ tion began organizing for Mon­ day’s celebration two weeks ago, which is also the same time the association began. “It’s amaz­ ing that all of this has come together in such a short period of time,” said Lee. The associa-. tion, whose mission is to “unify all past, present, or future veter­ ans,’* includes retired veterans, active duty, reservists, military dependents, and students inter­ ested in the advocacy of veter­ ans’ affairs on a campus, local, state, and/or national level. Lee added that the association would get together to critique the celebration, and prepare for future events on campus.

The history of this Chinese immi­ grant is brought to life on the pages of Ah Quin’s Diary. Literature and Writing Pro­ fessor, Dr. Susie Cassel, who won the Distinguished Professor of the Year Award for 2000-2001, took on the challenge of tran­ scribing these diaries. Cassel worked on the project with Murray Lee, curator of ChineseAmerican History at the San Diego Historical Society. ^ “The message these diaries reveal,” said Cassel, “begins as a travel ledger/book of growth unfolding into a story of a selfmade man turned entrepreneur, assimilating in America.” Ah Quin’s Diary covers three distinct phases of his life, includ­ ing his life in Alaska, where he worked as a cook for coal miners from 1877-1879, his time in San Francisco, where he worked as a servant and cook for U S. mili­ tary officers 1880, and his life in San Diego. 4 In San Diego, from 1884 until 1902, Quin worked as a recruiter for the railroad and eventually became a successful entrepreneur, community leader and patriarch who bridged the gap between the Chinese and the white establishment of his day, according to Cassel. Quin immigrated to the U.S. in 1863 when he was 15 years old. With his knowledge of English, which he learned through a mis­ sionary school in China, Quin began a daily record of his life for 25 years. During these years, he produced 10 volumes and 1,200 pages of valuable information, which he methodically devel­ oped. He included the Roman Calendar, as well as the Chinese date, making sure he never forgot to include his Chinese origins. The diaries appeared to be small enough to fit into a shirt pocket, some on lined paper and some on blank paper. Aspects of the diary include copied Biblical verses and a daily recording of the weather, along with journal entries. He also wrote with both his left and right hand. Cassel’s interest peaked when she was told of this 19th century diary written by a Chinese immi­ grant in the English language. She was aware that nothing like this existed in the current AsianAmerican literary cannon. She received permission to publish a critical edition, in which other researchers could access to this work. * “The interdisciplinary (indepth view of document to attain valuable information) diaries have value in a number of dif­ ferent academic fields because of the information regarding Quin and his society at that moment in time,” said Cassel. Historians are interested in confirming some of the details concerning work on the Central Pacific Railroad. Linguists are interested in Quin’s grammatical and syntactical use of the Eng­ lish language and the evidence of code switching in Chinese. Soci­ ologists are interested in the life­ style of a man in the Chinese bachelor community during the Chinese Exclusion Era of 1882. “As editor of the critical edi­ tion and one of the first inter­ preters of the Work, I see more clearly that the context in which I situate the diary, the excerpts I choose, the interpretations I render here at the start, are sig­ nificantly influencing the ways others receive and respond to this Ah Quin, photo courtesy o f the San Diego Historical Society. text,” said Cassel. When asked how this project has affected her, Cassel said, “I think that working with Ah Quin’s Diary has given me a greater appreciation for the importance and value of primary texts. “ “If anything, it makes me see Professor Speaks on Latin-American Literature MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer This is not the first time pro­ fessor Bruce Novoa from the Uni­ versity of California, Irvine, has visited our campus. “I was here last. spring ^>n a U.S Latino literature culture' conference, where a book called Double Crossing was the result of the conference,” he said. This "time, Novoa visited a team-taught class of Humanities 101. Last Wednesday in ACD 102, he explained the significance and the context of the novel, Aura, by Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes. The lecture brought three Humanities sections together, with a total of 100 students. According to Dr. Carlos von Son, Novoa’s themes of discussion included the context, dominant intellectual models, mid-century crisis, Latin American models, parodic sources, and the meaning beyond the text of Aura. Von Son said he invited Novoa “because of his expertise on Mexican culture and because it is a very multilevel novel.” “The presentation was inter­ esting and helpful. I learned valu­ able information related to the material that we are working in the class, which helped me to understand the book better,” said Bonfilio Celaya, a sophomore majoring in computer science and a student in the humanities class. Celaya also said, “It is useful tp bring a guest speaker to the class because it allows you to see a different point of view of issues from a person that has better knowledge in that particu­ lar issue.

The motto of many lives including my own. Most of my friends and family would describe me as an eccentric person. I have many different tastes in fashion, film, and clothes. But my most favorite eccentric style is that in my choice of food. I love to eat and cook! I would like to share an exciting new recipe for all of you who are not afraid to experience the blend of various foods that will have the pallet of your tongue beg­ ging for more. The following recipe is my own cre­ ation. It was inspired by my love of Thai cuisine. It is a salad that contains ingredients from all of the major food groups, with a dressing that makes it an eccentric delight! Mia’s Thai salad calls for a grilled boneless chicken breast, fresh greens (your choice), carrots, bean sprouts (optional), noodles (they don’t have to be Thai, they can even be spa­ ghetti), cilantro, peanut butter, rice vinegar, milk, lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar (or sugar substitute), ginger, and sesame seeds (optional). You will need: V cup noodles 2 It is best to already have the noodles cooked and chilled 1 1/2 cup mixed greens 1 carrot V cup bean sprouts 2 1 boneless grilled (plain) chicken breast ( we all know how to grill a chicken breast, right?) Spread the fresh chopped greens on a plate, cut the chicken in a desired fashion and lay it on top the greens, arrange julienne (sliced thin) carrots and bean sprouts in mounds at four sides of the plate, build the noodles on top of the chicken and put the dish aside to make the dressing. 2 tbsp.- peanut butter (reduced fat if your “skinny” jeans aren’t fitting) 1 tbsp, milk 2 tbsp. rice vinegar 1 tsp. lemon juice 1 tbsp. sugar ( or l a packet of sugar substi­ A tute) Vi tsp. soy sauce 1 tsp. ginger (it is best to grate a fresh ginger root) Briskly whisk these ingredients together in a bowl. Taste buds always make the best judgment in any needed altejations, so finger dip and lick to adjust the sweetness of this dressing. After your dressing is whisked smooth, drizzle its contents over your plated salad. Add desired amount of fresh chopped cilantro; also, it’s quite good if you add chopped peanuts and/or sesame seeds. The ingredients sound as if they don’t mix, but to my lucky taste testing victims of the past, they do! So give it a try, and remember - cook at your own risk.

Bubble Tea is a teahouse that offers hundreds of different drinks, includ­ ing fruit slush drinks, cappuccinos, and tapioca drinks. I have tried all the San Diego teahouses, but none of them can surpass the taste available at San Marcos’ Bubble Tea, where they have turned tea into a work of art. The tapioca drink is unique. Many Asian people refer to the drink as boba, which is smooth and soft - the consistency actually resembles soft, plastic bubbles. The tapioca drink is a combination of gelatin and a special type of flour with sugar. It’s very chewy and tasty, and adds a unique twist to all the types of drinks that Bubble Tea offers. Although Bubble Tea is quite unique to this area, there are many type of businesses like this around the world. However, they originated in several Asian countries, where tea is popular among young people. The San Marcos business started three months ago, and draws about 300 customers each week. According to owner James Wu, the number of customers multiplies by three every week. He also said that he has never advertised, and that people hear of his business by word of mouth. The next time you want an alternative to Starbucks and are thinking of trying something less costly, try Bubble Tea’s variety drinks. Most people are afraid of change, but believe me, this type of change will open up a whole new avenue for you. Bubble Tea is located in front of San Marcos High School, in the Vons shopping center.

Don’t Be Afraid of Virginia Woolf” By CHRIS ING Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Repertory Theatre’s choice of cast for Edward Albee’s classic “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” brings a feeling of deja vu. Just as Director Mike Nichols cast Richard Burton against wife Elizabeth Taylor in his 1962 film version of the play (an event which would ultimately lead to their first divorce), so too do we find Ellen Crawford playing opposite her own husband, Mike Genovese, in the lead roles of the San Diego Rep’s recent incarna­ tion. For those among us who have grown weary of the lack­ luster performances of the talk­ ing head actors who dominate the televised spheres of politics and war these days, “Virginia Woolf’ provides a refreshingly welcome reprieve. Albee named his play after seeing those words scrawled across a wall in a graffiti-covered bathroom - the title itself becomes a sing-song refrain of the lead characters. Set on a small campus in middle America, the story revolves around an older couple, Martha (Crawford),* the brash, seductive, devil-tongued daugh­ ter of the local university’s presi­ dent and George (Genovese), a weary but willing history pro- Fraternrty House, Inc. Keepingtave Aitve fessor who Counters Martha’s invectives with witty retorts of his own. Following a liquor-soaked faculty party, Martha invites the handsome and eager Nick (Peter Friedrich), a fledging biology professor and newcom­ er to the school, and his pleas­ antly dim-witted wife Honey (Carla Harting), back to her and George’s house for an unforget­ table evening of education. In her role as the dynamo Martha, Crawford, best known as Nurse Lydia Wright from TV’s “ER”, exudes energy and vigor, whether snarling menac­ ingly at George or sensually coo­ ing at Nick. She does not toss any line away but instead plumbs the subtleties in the depths of Martha’s persona. Genovese, having stepped up as George late in the game after a bicycle accident displaced the original actor, does an admirable job toeing the fine line between love and hate that seems to char­ acterize George’s marriage to Martha. The air often bristles with electricity between the two as their rapid-fire jabs move the play quickly along. George and Martha, married for 23 years, reveal the complex­ ities and vagaries inherent in a long-term relationship. On the surface, their remarks to each other are coyly antagonist, care­ fully constructed for maximum damage, at tirfies hurtful. Yet beneath that barbed veneer, their love for one another is evident. Their words carry the weight of dreams unrealized, each holding the other responsible, but know­ ing ultimately they have found their mate. In her understated treatment of the tipsy and blissfully igno­ rant Honey, UCSD graduate Carla Harting provides a per­ petual comic backdrop to the tension of Martha and George. Her open-mouthed looks of dis­ belief and awe create a hilarious vision of a drunken woman we all have known. While Martha toys with the jocular Nick, who hopes to curry favor with the president’s daugh­ ter, George plots his next move in ‘the game’ with no help from the comically inept (and increas­ ingly drunken) Honey. As night slowly turns to day, the char­ acters reveal more about them­ selves and more about the human condition. Out in the audience we learn about love, relationships, life. And you can’t get that on CNN. “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’ plays at the San Diego Repertory Theatre, Lyceum Stage, Horton Plaza, downtown through Nov. 25. or by calling (619) 544-1000. For about an hour and a half, “The Panama Deception,” a doc­ umentary film, showed students several sides of the invasion of Panama by United States troops at midnight of Dec. 20,1989. What students learned about was more than just three warfilled days in history. The students that attended the film learned that the attack also served to test new stealth fight­ ers and laser-guided missiles as preparation for future wars, like the Gulf War that began in 1991. They also saw that there are still questions to this day in regards to exactly why it hap­ pened and why the government has supposedly lied about the major details and kept them from the Amer- ican people. T he supposed reasoning behind the attack was to uphold the safety of Americans by attempting to capture dictator Manuel Noriega. The U.S. media portrayed Noriega as a drug traf­ ficker and a forceful and oppres­ sive ruler. In 1989, the U.S. government claimed it was pro­ tecting the people of Panama from him. However, the film also showed that the presence of our military in the country was more about maintaining control over the Panama Canal and to force our government upon them. According to a 1903 treaty, the U.S. was supposed to have vacated all military bases in the country, and Panama was supposed to regain control ,of the Canal by 2000. The treaty changed after the 1989 invasion to allow the U.S. government more freedom in Panama. According to the movie, American troops invaded lowerclass communities like El Churjllo, Colon and San Miguelito because ‘ they were less likely to have any way of retaliating. From some of the citizens’ perspective, the attack was unex­ pected, uncalled for, and a highly illegal act of genocide. They had no idea why this was happening to them, and many of them were forced out of their homes by troops, sent to the Balboa con­ centration camp, and detained. Eyewitnesses have made claims that innocent citizens, many of them men from the ages of 15 to 22, were taken to mass graves and executed. According to other eyewitnesses, the U.S. military at the front entrance of the camp gunned down about eight citizens. The number of deaths from the Panama attack is still thought to be anywhere from 2,500 to 4,000. The government and media claimed only 2 5 0 casualties to American people. Others that had been detained were given refugee numbers and placed under intense interrogation. The mili­ tary also took control of hospi­ tals and morgues, and doctors were detained. Troops controlled access to the media, and press pools were only granted access to military bases four hours following the attack. “It is worse now, now the media is self-censoring,” com­ plained one student during the discussion after the film. In the film, photojournalist Julio Guerra .managed to infil­ trate the barricades to other sites to capture some of the footage that is available today. Manuel Becker was a cameraman who had been stopped by troops, forced to hand over his tapes, and arrested until the bombing was over. Other media personnel were shot and killed. In the film, new suggestions from the filmmakers forced stu­ dents to question the attack and the leaders of the countries.

The play is entirely in Span­ ish and was written by von Son. “This play is a metaphor for me, the playwright, and contains ele­ ments of social criticism through comedy,” said von Son. To accommodate non-Span­ ish speakers in the audience, the students will provide writ­ ten translations, as well as a recorded narrative in English, which some of the audience may hear using headphones. Students have also been working to raise money to fund the costs for costumes, setting construction, and other produc­ tion costs. For many of the stu­ dents, this is the first time they will act in front of a live audi­ ence. Lydia Contreras, a Spanish major cast in the role of Prudencia, said, “I hope that we will do a good job, because I feel a little rushed. But I know we will do well and that we will have a full house on both nights of the play” The students will perform “Dona Criba” Thursday, Dec. 7 and Friday, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. at the Visual and Performing Arts Annex on La Moree Road. The play is free and open to the public. Drew Barrymore Shines in “R iding in Cars” Drew Barrymore and Steve Zahn star in “Riding in Cars with Boys. Barrymore's production company produced the film. Thefilm was promoted as a comedy but deals with dramatic issues, such as drug abuse. (Courtesy Photo.Imdb.com) By LISA LIPSEY Pride Opinion Editor With only four other people in the theatre (not including two friends and myself) it seems that “Riding in Cars with Boys” was not the best choice out of the films we could have sj& en. However, my friend Kelly raved about it for days and insisted on taking us with her for her second look at the film. Based on the autobiography with the same^itle, “Riding in Cars with Boys,” stars Drew Barrymore. Barrymore’s perfor­ mance immediately drew me into the film (no pun intended), proving that she is awesome at her craft, but far too often takes on crummy roles. Barrymore plays Beverly, who as a teenager, dreams of becoming a writer (. .. this is part of why I liked the film so much) only to find her dreams tom apart by an accidental preg­ nancy. (The baby was conceived in the backseat of her boyfriend’s car). As she grows up and is somewhat raised by her son, she tries to come to terms with her life and how to become a mother. The film begins with a look at Barrymore at age 35 and her 20-year-old son, and then flashes back to her in eighth grade (in the 1960s). It then follows her life up through her son’s eighth birthday. Truthfully, there is one hole in the plot: as the film switches back and forth from past to present, we find out that Beverly has finally succeeded as a writer, and has written an autobiography. The problem is that audience never actually sees Barrymore’s character working on her book, nor do we learn what happened with her son from age eight to age 20. Directed by Penny Marshall, “Riding in Cars with Boys” is labeled as a comedy. Still, Mar­ shall, who is an expert in conveyinghuman emotions in her films, carefully crafted a delicate bal­ ance between comedyand trag­ edy. The film will leave viewers with laughter to the point of a side ache and tears. Viewer Hooked on Fox’s “24” Dennis Haysbert stars as Senator Palmer in “24, '-(Courtesy Photo/Fox) By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor What can be done in the space of 24 hours? For one show, it will take an entire season to find out. “24” premiered on Fox last Tuesday. The title is indic­ ative of the major plot device for each show; it’s shot in real time, one hour of 24 each Tues­ day night. The idea behind “24” was simple; take a terrorist squad and focus on the events that unfold over the course of a 24-hour period. The excitement picks up early in the show, as we are introduced to the main charac­ ters, both the good guys and bad guys. However, the most appeal­ ing character is good guy Kiefer Sutherland as lead, Jack Bauer. Bauer is a family man dealing with Kimberly’s (his teenage daughter) rebellion and the recent restoration (they had been separated) of his marriage to Teri (Leslie Hope of the upcom­ ing film, “Dragonfly”), At work, Bauer struggles with his ex-affair Nina Myers (Sarah Clarke of “Ed”) and the threat of terrorist attack (most recently, the threat against Sen­ ator David Palmer, a presiden­ tial candidate in Los Angeles.) Dennis Haysbert, best known for his mad science cre­ ator role in “Now and Again”, plays Palmer. Haysbert has been in countless films and is extraor­ dinarily gifted and a pleasure to watch on the screen. The senator is hardly seen the first hour but is presented as a good guy with his wife by his side. He works hard with his speech writer at midnight to put together the next day’s words, but then receives a mysterious phone call. A reporter asks him something that outrages him, but when, asked by his wife, he refuses to tell. What is it that he is hiding and how does it tie into the ter­ rorist plot? In the first show, Suther­ land’s character manages to play chess with his daughter (played by Elisha Cuthbert of Nick­ elodeon’s “Are You Afraid of the Dark”), catches her running away, goes into work, reveals that he was having an affair, shoots a man with a tranquilizer gun, calls his wife a few times, and solves part of a crime com­ mitted by a CIA co-worker. Not bad for one hour. Nevertheless, can the shows creators keep up the pace or will interest begin to wane somewhere in the twelfth hour? Many of the shots were grainy and in odd angles to show a more realistic look, while cam­ eras shot the same scene from two to .four angles to give the audience the upper hand. But Television REVIEW will the realistic look continue? How realistic will it seem when Bauer is up for 24 hours and still looks refreshed? Will Suther­ land want to spend half a season looking haggard? Will one show be the “nap show” where we watch Sutherland and his wife in slumber? Can the realistic look go too far? Will it end up as annoying as “Survivor?” Meanwhile, I await tonight’s second show, knowing that no matter what the answers to my many questions, I am hooked and am sure you will be if you watch. Why am I hobked? For the same reason the shows’ premiere was postponed until now. The opening sequence showed twin towers in Asia, where a terror­ ist is planning an assassination plot on the first black presiden­ tial candidate in America. Ter* rorism and twin towers as your opening sequence is quite risky for a show, but “24” risks even more. JVith a plane explosion in the last ten minutes of the show, the appeal for many Amer­ icans may have been lost. How­ ever, the smart ones will stick around. If you want to find out more, the web site, www.fox.com/24 sticks •with the format of the tv show and allows viewers a way to interact with the characters and the CIA files. Information on the characters, plot and back­ ground can be found; for exam­ ple, on the CIA files link: “What is a Tranquilizer Gun.” “24” can be seen on Fox on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. �ffea ftn pirtM rt Opinion _ _ _ Au Xr* Student Outraged About Change in Payment Plan Served By CONSTANCE CHUA Pride Staff Writer Picture courtesy o f Department Affairs Dear Veterans, It is not often enough that we come together To say our thanks to each of you, So it is with great respect that I address this letter: Thank you for your courage: For courage is not the opposite of fear, Courage is taking action despite fear.

Sincerely, Safe and Free By LISA LIPSEY Pride Opinion Editor Editors’ Note: The needed information was sent to the pride e-mail by Rick Moore and then forwarded to Constance Chua three weeks ago. This semester I encountered multiple problems with the new payment plan option that our school executed. I have encoun­ tered and interviewed some people who had experienced the same grief and stress that I have. However this semester, the com­ mittee responsible for the payment plan implementation has made yet another amendment to the pre­ viously set payment option plan; four weeks ago, The Pride was informed of the new changes. I was very curious about the changes the administration was going to make, so I decided to take on an article, hoping to share this new information to all of the students here at CSUSM. How­ ever on Oct. 16 when I spoke to Paul Tiglao, an employee in the Cashier’s Office, regarding these changes, he told me that he knew Response to “Humanitarian Aid Kills” I would like to start out by saying that decreasing the world’s population will not increase our food supply.. We already have more than enough food to feed every single person on this planet comfortably. The problem is not scarcity of food, but how the food is being distributed. The global economy has one primary motive, and that is profit. Many countries cannot increase their food supply because of inefficient ownership of resources. There are centralized political author­ ities that have control over resources like food. The use and production of these resources are taken out of the hands of the local people and into the hands of these authorities. World ^hunger also comes from impersonal market forces. The market demand for export crops increases to satisfy the needs of far-off consum­ ers, rather than the local needs. For example, it is more lucrative to pro­ duce chocolate than to produce grains in a country that depends economi­ cally on exports. An article from Food First called “The Myth - Scarcity, The Reality There is Enough Food,” goes into great detail about our global food supply. The Pride Co-Editor Melanie Addington Co-Editor Victoria B. Segall Opinion Editor Lisa Lipsey* Feature Editor Claudia Ignacio* Graduate Intern Amy Bolaski Assistant Editor James Newell Business Manager Victor Padilla Adviser Madeleine Marshall All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University Sah Marcos, Unsigned editorials represent the majority opinion of The Pride editorial board. Letters to the editors should include an address, telephone number, e-mail and identification. Letters may be edited for grammar and length. Letters should be submitted via electronic mail to The Pride elec­ tronic mail account, rather than the individual editors. The authors report that, “according to the Food and Agriculture Organiza­ tion of the United Nations, gains in food production since 1950 have kept ahead of population growth in every region except Africa. The American Association for the Advancement of Science found in a 1997 study that 78 percent of all malnourished children under five in the developing world live in countries with food surpluses.” In Africa, the food producers are cut out of the economic decisions affecting their survival. As far as supplying aid to countries, it does come at a price. A lot of aid programs are not free, the government pays for it, or there are conditions that the countries have to meet in order to receive aid. In conclusion, it really does not make sense to correlate food consump­ tion with increased populations. The argument that, with increased popula­ tions the food supply decreases, does not hold true. In developed countries we see a decrease in birth rates and with increased resources we see the opposite, more deaths than birth rates. Sincerely, Marianna Davis S tudent the changes, but refused to tell me what they were because Rick Moore, of External Affairs, had to finalize everything. Tiglao also said, “Call me back sometime next week. Maybe Rick Moore is done reviewing it, and then I can give you the informa­ tion.” And I responded, “Sure, but keep in mind some students need to be informed of the new pay­ ment plan because the registration is fairly soon.” And Mr. Tiglao responded, “Sure, but I cannot tell you anything because Mr. Moore has to take a look at the changes first, o.k.” I e-mailed Rick Moore that week, but received no response from him either. I don’t know about you guys, but it seems to me that the school administration could care less about the paying customers they have, the students. As a student here, I have the right to know about these changes whether I write for The Pride or not. But the admin­ istration that is involved in these changes is certainly just taking its sweet time and refusing to provide pertinent information for everyone else. Last week our schedule was available at the bookstore, so pay attention to your payment plan changes. Do you think it’s much better than last semester? Say something - don’t just look at it and ignore the problem. I have been attending this uni­ versity since 1997, and I was in most of your shoes thinking that I would never have any problems but I did this semester. We need to be united and peti­ tion to get a system that can take care of us. We negd to have an ombudsman, who will be our medi­ ator between the school system and ourselves, or simply a group of students that will fight for our rights as students and paying cus­ tomers. The administration needs to communicate properly so that it can better serve us. Sure, we under­ stand that our school is on its way to becoming more diverse and expanding the institution to pro­ vide excellence in our education, but do it the right way with little or no grief to the students. The bottom line is to pay close atten­ tion to where your money goes.

I didn’t realize the rami­ fications of such tawdry fun until I was driving down the 78 freeway, idly thinking (yes, I can do two things at once). I wondered why and how a column in the opinion (we all have one) page could cause such distress in some readers, when I came to a red light. I apologize; I mean a stoplight - I don’t want to bring color into this. No, actually let’s just call it a traf­ fic light because stop would exclude the “go” component, and I don’t want to offend anyone (Oh, and let me apolo­ gize if my anthropomorphiz­ ing is offensive). Anyway, back to the issue concerning the “Battle of the Sexes,” which brings me to the question of audience. “Writers work, I suspect, on the basis of intuitions about the range of what most readers are likely to know,” wrote Douglas Br Park, an > educator in the field of Eng­ lish. I suspect this quote encompasses the many diverse values readers bring to what they know, which adds more complexity to ana­ lyzing audience.

The ELP is designed to help first-time freshman explore their individual capabilities and prepare them for leadership posi­ tions on campus and in the community. Hopeful leaders are taught that, through exploring self-definition and personal development strategies, they can gain the knowledge and insight that will carry them as leaders throughout the rest of their lives. The program is co-coordinated by Jonathan Poullard, dean of students, and Cara Appel-Silbaugh, coordinator of New Stu­ dent Programs and Greek Life. The voluntary program, in its first year, is offered to freshman and meets in 2-hour sessions, 12 weeks out of the semester. ELP has 12 members. Poullard describes the focus of the program as an effort to “move students from the con­ sciousness of the selfto global cit­ izenship, while maintaining the core values of the institution. We’re using the seven C’s leader­ ship model, based on a program developed by colleagues across the nation and which runs out of UCLA.” Both facilitators have taught similar classes; Poullard at Occidental College and Penn State, and Silbaugh at Pitt and Bowling Green University. ELP freshman engage in leadership activities and are taught to focus on goal plans Battle of the Sexes: Female World Domination cycle. At first, war would be a daily occurrence as female world leaders bickered about the global shortage of the pot puree used to freshen their county’s landfills of burned bras, shoes, and cosmetics. Then, as the world leaders spend countless hours together trying to come to a closure on their issues, their periods begin to synchronize; thus sending men (because women are lousy soldiers) on war game errands in minivan­ shaped tanks to, supposedly, protect the country’s freedom on a monthly basis. By the time all the 200-foot tall statues of each world leader are reduced to rubble, elections will be held, starting the whole process over again.

The game was confirmed by me the Thursday before I left town [the week of the scheduled game}.” Schmidt also added that one of the reasons that USC failed to contact CSUSM about the cancellation may have been USC’s new coach, who is both a-student and a player. “It was an unfortunate occurrence because our CSUSM soccer team was ready to play,” 'said Schmidt. “It could have concluded the season as a win­ ning one at 5-4-1 instead of 4-4-1.” Schmidt said he believed the soccer team’s season was successful. “They won four hard battles and lost two by the slightest of margins against some pretty decent collegiate com­ petition,” said Schmidt. Al-shafie added, “We are very excited about our prospects going into next year with a high number of returning players, and the continued support of ASL” Schmidt projects that the team’s final, overall placement will be third out of the five or six teams in the league. The official league standings were not available by press time.

In the event, held Oct. 28, CSUSM’s Julie Russel, a shortboarder, placed fourth for the college women’s division, and Dustin Franks placed fifth in the longboard. The team includes team captain Chris Darrah, shortboarders Scott Chebegia, Colin Hanel,* Dave Kincannon, Ryan Leonardy, Ryan McHenry, and bodyboarder Chris Erdos. The team held tryouts Oct. 13 at the Carlsbad State Beach. The tryouts attracted a total of 14 students, and nine surfers were chosen. Currently the team practices by playing scrimmages against Miracosta College. Competition is nothing new to the majority of the members. “We are very fortunate to have a teafti headed by players who have been in several NSSA competi­ tions,” said Professor Amber Puha of the mathematics department. Puha created the team with the help of Associated Students, Inc. this past summer. As soon as the team gets a larger budget, Puha said she will organize a second team that will serve as a developmental program to foster new surfing talent. Stu* dent Erik Runsvold will be the captain of that team, and the women’s shortboarder will be Jamie Tomei, who placed second in the tryouts. The actual competitions are similar to track and field because both have “heats.” One heat includes six players, and only three may advance to the next round. Each player has 15 minutes to catch 12 waves, and the top three scores are used for final scoring. Scoring is subjective and will include both the indi­ vidual and team score. An athlete can either advance or not, without penalizing the team. The team receives points based on the placement of the athlete. The person in first place receives six points; second place receives five points, and so on.. In CSUSM’s com: petition at the Ventura Street Pipes, the team earned 96 points. The first-place team, UC Santa Barbara, earned 162 points. CSUSM’s next surf competitions will be held at Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Ventura, and the next NSSA college event wilLbe held Dec. 22 at Black’s Beach. Most of the team’s competitions have taken place at local beaches. “If they wanted to travel to some place like Costa Rica, as a surf club, they could through fund­ raisers, support and enthusiasm,” said Puha. Those who would like more information about the surf team are asked to contact Amber Puha at apuha@csusm.edu.

X VIII NO. 12 CSUSM cross country teams seek first N AIA National Championship Writers Guild of America on Strike ' W Chasing victory The recent debate over the Cal State University executive compensation controversy received its first official governmental examination on Nov. 9, 2007. The California Bureau of State Audits weighed in last week, releasing its findings of an audit on the executive compensation practices of the CSU. The report, titled California State University: It Needs to Strengthen Its Oversight and Establish Stricter Policies for Compensating Current and Former Employees, comes at the request of the Assembly Speaker Fabian Nufiez, Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, State Senator Leland Yee, and the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. At a weighty 115 pages, the audit reveals various "questionable" practices in CSU executive compensation policy.

Though it was a running joke that he and Jon Stewart would run for the presidency, there was no seriousness in this idea. That is, until Oct.16, when Colbert announced he would run for president on the Democratic ballot in South Carolina. A few weeks later, the South Carolina Democratic Executive Council rejected his candidacy in a 13-3 vote. Given the nature of his show on Comedy Central, The Colbert Report, many felt he would not be a serious candidate. "The general sense of the council was that he wasn't a serious candidate and that was why he wasn't selected to be on the ballot," said Joe Werner, director of the S.C. Democratic Party. Colbert's brief candidacy raises important questions as to whether or not someone with no official government experience could become president. His candidacy has also drawn comparisons to both Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, both actors turned government leaders. In less than a month the "1,000,000 Strong for Stephan T Colbert" Facebook group gained almost 1.5 million members, and continues to grow. But, he certainly has had more appeal to the youth of the country than other possible candidates. This has not gained just the interest of the online community, but See COLBERT, page 2 President Haynes honored by Business Journal BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Business Journal recently honored Cal State San Marcos President, Karen Haynes, one of the "Women Who Mean Business in San Diego County."

The government officials had when I requested the audit in the first place. CSU clearly needs opposed to the CSU executive to establish vigorous standards compensation practices have also been early authors of legislation directed at regulating the very practices addressed in the report. Senator Yee's SB 190 passed through Governor Schwarzenegger's office with a signature of approval last month, requiring all executive compensation packages to be voted in open session. On Nov. 12, the California Faculty Association released its analysis of the findings in a report titled, Weak Oversight & Poor CSU Policies Favor Executive Perks: An analysis of the state audit of CSU compensation policies and practices. CFA President Lillian Taiz cites a "large expenditure of foundation funds to further compensate already well-paid executives" as yet another faulty executive compensation practice. Despite these proclamations, CSU officials rendered a much more optimistic analysis of the findings of the audit. In a message to all CSU employees issued Nov. 6, Chancellor Reed maintains "the findings show that no policies were violated, and concludes that none of the actions taken by the CSU were inappropriate." According to the Chancellor, "the CSU is open to having audits because I believe that audits give us the opportunity to examine our policies and our processes and improve them. The CSU's official response to the report states, "the CSU agrees in nearly all cases with the auditor's recommendations." * The marked polarity of these responses suggests the debate over executive compensation practices in the CSU system will endure for some time to come. Given criticism of growing executive salaries amidst gaping budget shortfalls, this issue could very well prove to be a point of contention at the upcoming CSU Board of Trustees Meeting. The Trustees will meet this week to discuss and vote on the CSU's budget request. Among their considerations, the Trustees will be forced to reckon with Governor Schwarzenegger's recent warning that the State budget shortfall will increase by $2 billion. He also cautioned all State departments to anticipate budget cuts upwards of 10 percent. Although CSU indicated they "will be acting on some recommendations immediately and on the others as soon as feasible," the meeting schedule released on the CSU website does not indicate the Trustees will address the findings and recommendations of the audit report at the meeting this week. However, the Trustees have made official plans to discuss the matter when they meet again in January. sen poll placed Colbert ahead of Republican candidate Ron Paul and Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich. A similar poll placing Colbert against Rudy Guiliani and Hillary Clinton showed Colbert at 12% support, mainly in the 18-29 age bracket. It started as a joke, but it was serious enough for South Carolina to take action. Though not made public, another reason against letting him run is the fact that, should he win, it would take away elec- toral votes from other candidates. This would be similar to the situation in pre-civil war times when Republican Abraham Lincoln won as president because the Democrats were split between their north and south candidates.

Originally known as Armistice Day, the 11th of November is what we now call Veteran's day in the United States. It is dedicated to remembering those who have served in any of the five branches of the armed forces. At CSUSM, an event was held Thursday during University Hour to commemorate the holiday. However, for some CSUSM students the day is just another reminder of the struggles our men and women are facing, both at home and abroad. With Camp Pendleton—one of the largest military bases in the United States—just west of campus, the population of military personnel and their families at the university is strikingly high. CSUSM Psychology major Bianca Reynoso said she finds her husband's deployments hard to deal with, especially on top of having to deal with the stress of being a student. She said she has been through four deployments—three of which have been to Iraq and one to Korea, and insisted it is important to see the holiday as more than just a day off from school and work. "They sacrifice a lot," she said. "In other countries it is mandatory to be in the military, but here it is optional." Reynoso said that when her husband, a Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corps, is deployed it just adds to her stress because "When he's gone I'm all alone, there is no one to come home to, not to vent to about my day," she said. While CSUSM offers services for veterans at Craven Hall where Vets can come for assistance with GI Bills and various application processes, Reynoso said she wished there was some sort of support group for the families of those who have someone fighting overseas. "It would be cool if they had a group of spouses," she said. "That way when your husband is gone you can find support from other people who are going through the same thing." November is Native American Month. American Indian Student Alliance's CSUSM chapter is hosting several events to honor the occasion. Several Speakers have been arranged to speak on Native American culture. Speakers include Earl Sisto and Mel Vernon. Earl Sisto's discussion will focus on urban and reservation life for Native Americans at noon in the Forum Plaza. Mel Vernon will be speaking on protecting and preserving Native American culture on Nov. 27. Movies, produced by natives such as "Smoke Signals, In the Light of Reverence," and "We are Still Here" are showing throughout the month. The two-time Sundance award winning movie "Smoke Signals" is playing at 4 p.m. in Markstein Hall. "In the Light of Reverence," afilmillustrating the struggles of Natives to preserve sacred rights is showing in Clarke 131 at 6 p.m. "We are Still Here," a film exploring the Cahuilla Natives from Southern California is playing in Arts 240 at 4 p.m. A discussion panel will follow the viewing of "In the Light of Reverence and We are Still Here." A basket weaving demonstration hosted by Yvonne Trottier, will be held on Nov. 15 and the Texcatlipoca Dancers are performing on Nov. 29 at noon in the Forum Plaza. Claudia McCrane, president of the AISA, said the purposes of these events are to "honor Native American culture and tradition as well as giving students an opportunity to learn about their origins and ancestry." AISA is working together with the Tribal Task force to help native families who have been affected by the recent fires. They are putting together a drive for food, blankets, clothes, and bedding. In addition, AISA and the Tribal Task force will provide a dinner for the 29 La Jolla families who lost their homes in the fires. For students who are interested in getting involved throughout the year look at AISA's web site: www.csusm.edu/aisa/ for more information. iPhone Killer? The Googleverse is about to get a whole lot bigger BY ELBERT'ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer Apparently Google has borrowed a step Microsoft - conquering the Internet just wasn't enough for them. Though there is not an actual, physical phone as of yet, the confirmation of Google's step into the mobile market has been met with both immense anticipation and speculation. The hope is that consumers utilize their software to add new appli- cations and upgrades to already existing phones and future smartphones beginning sometime next year. Some of the early feedback on the project has already dubbed it the iPhone killer because of Google's almost limitless innovations in software design and advancement. "You will be able to do amazing things with your mobile device that you had never thought of before,", said Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt. "This announcement is more ambitious than any single Google Phone that the press has been speculating about over the past few weeks. Our vision is that the powerful p latform w e're u nveiling w ill p ower thousands of different phone models." Among the companies that have thrown their support include some of the big mobile companies like LG Electronics, Samsung, and Motorola. If these companies decide to implement the Google software, then that would get rid of the Windows Mobile Media which they have paid to use. Google's platform would be free. This platform is being tentatively called Android and hardware and software support from over 30 companies. Qualcomm Inc., the local telecommunications devel- In today 's technology oper based out of Sorrento Valley, is also included. Local providers Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint-Nextel also are building upon negotiations with Google to use their services with their phones, a contrast to the exclusive contract that AT&T Wireless and Apple has had to market their iPhone. As the anticipation continues to build, there has also been a share of detractors who are also eager to call it a failure before it even hits the market. "When all is said and done, Google is actually not a charismatic company that can make this new platform happen in a big way," commented John C. Dvorak, a PC Magazine writer. "The most successful [phone] looks to be the iPhone, but much of that enthusiasm has to do with the mystique of Apple and the promotion of the phone's "uniqueness." And the phone is indeed unique." With already 3 billion cell phones out in the market, such diversity could also open new doors for Google as they want people to use phones as easy as their other software. The first phone should be out sometime in the middle of 2008. C SUSM S tudents with a valid School ID receive an extra 1 5 % off Tanning and Salon products A ZUSA PACIFIC ZACH MILLER, B.S.

Digg.com combines aspects of social bookmarking, blogging, and syndication to create one of the best sources of news on the web; for the people, by the people. The premise of Digg, is that after users submit links to news stories, the stories are voted on (dugg) by other users for content, relevance, and interest. If a story receives enough votes, it will be displayed on the front page of the site. This method offers a variation from the standard editorial system of major news websites. Digg categorizes submissions under a number of categories, all of which include sub-categores that delve deeper into the specifics of an article. The Main categories include: News, Technplogy, Science, World and Business, Sports, Entertainment, and Gaming. There fare also sections for Videos and Podcast^. ¿ D iggcovers a hugely broad range of headlines, from "Linux wins Nigerian school desktops back from Microsoft" to "Mark Wahlberg will star in Max Payne movie!" Digg has been subject to a number of complaints, mainly centered around the idea that the users have too much control over content, thus harvesting potential misinformation. In early May, Digg came under fire after a user posted an encryption key for cracking the HD DVD and Blu-ray formats. Digg took action on the advice of lawyers and took down the story. The Digg community revolted after what was the site's first major sign of editorial, censorship, and banded together to include the encryption key in numerous front page submissions and comments. The actions of the users prompted this statement from digg founder Kevin Rose: "After seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you've made it clear. You'd rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company." Digg takes out the middle man and allows the readers themselves to decide what is interesting. Digg.com is revolutionizing the way news is delivered, read, and perceived. I Wä^^ng* ^TtüfFic* and High Gums Príccs?

JPhqto courtesy ofKyle Trembley, Sports Information Director Chargers move intofirstplace with big win over Colts BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday night's game with a record of 4-4, looking to capitalize on the Indianapolis Colts loss of momentum. The Colts received their first loss of the season in week nine against the New England Patriots, in the most highly touted game of the season. The Chargers struck quick and held the lead, relying on their superb pass protection, in front of a packed and soggy Qualcomm Stadium. The Chargers came right out of the gate with a bang, as Darren Sproles returned the opening kickoff for 89 yards and a touchdown. Seven plays into the ensuing Colts possession, Quarterback Peyton Manning threw an interception to Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie. Cromarte has made a name for himself in the past four weeks, intercepting six passes; three of which were in Sunday night's game. Just under three minutes later another Manning pass was intercepted, this time by linebacker, Shaun Phillips. Chargers kicker, Nate Kaeding nailed a 33-yard field goal at the 7:14 mark in the first quarter, bringing the Chargers lead to 1 0-0. After a three-and-out drive by Indianapolis, Darren Sproles returned yet another kick or a touchdown, this time a punt for 4 5 y ards. Later in the first, yet another Manning pass was intercepted, again by Antonio Cromartie. Through only 15 minutes of play Manning had already thrown three interceptions. 22 seconds into the second quarter, another Manning pass was picked off by Cromartie, making it Cromartie's third interception of the game, tying his season total in just under 16 minutes of play. The Chargers scored again with 8:47 to go in the second quarter, on a LaDainian Tomlinson four yard rush, pushing the lead to 23-0. The Colts finally got on the board late in the second, as Manning passed to wide receiver* Reggie Wayne for eight yards.

The Chargers took a 23-7 lead into half time, providing some cushion for the unpredictable Colts offense lead by Manning. Manning's unpredictability continued into the third quarter, as he threw his fifth interception, this time picked off by linebacker Matt Wilhelm. The Colts comeback push started early in the fourth quarter as Manning passed to reserve running back, Kenton Keith for a seven yard touchdown, then converted the two point attempt on a pass to tight end, Bryan Fletcher. On the ensuing possession, Chargers quarterback, Philip Rivers fumbled. The ball was recovered by Colt's linebacker, Gary Bracket in the end zone for a touchdown. The Colts failed the two point attempt, keeping the score at 23-21, Chargers. The Colts, down by just two points had an opportunity to take the lead with 1:30 left in the game, and kicker, Adam Vinatieri missed his second field goal of the night. This kick was an easier 29-yard shot, and this time, costing the Colts the lead, and potentially the victory. The Chargers narrowly escaped the Colts after scoring no second half points, on the way to one of their biggest wins of the season. The loss brings the Colts record to 7-2. The Chargers are now 5 -4 v and have sole possession of first place. The Chargers travel to Florida next Sunday to face the Jacksonville Jaguars at 10:00 a.m. on CBS.

But the looks could be deceiving as the Ducks have played two more games than the Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks who trail the Ducks by one point. But with only seven wins in 18 games, the Ducks need help. Niedermayer's free agent replacement, Mathieu Schneider recently returned from the injured reserve and has helped spark the team to a 3-1-1 record over five games where he has two goals and five assist in that span. But if the Ducks want to make a push in the playoffs, they will need to find out what Niedermayer's plans are. Is he going to retire, or is he going to return. So they can make moves to improve the team. But the main hope is that he will return to the team next month, where he will earn near $4 million of his $6.75 million contract, saving the Ducks $2.75 million in salary cap room and having a possibility to make a move towards acquiring a possible star forward who will become a free agent towards the trade deadline.

Broadway has done this well with ABBA and Billy Joel in "Mamma Mia!" and "Movin' Out", respectively. However, there have been limited voyages into the film medium. For the longest time, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" has been the only entry to speak of in this sub-genre. But thanks to the work of director Julie Taymor, a fitting musical tribute has been made to the Beatles in "Across the Universe". "Across the Universe" is the story of Jude, a 20-something British man, who travels to America to meet his father. In the process, he meets Max, a college student, and they become friends after some 'American hospitality' and 'a little help from his friends'. When Jude goes to Max's home for Thanksgiving, he meets his sister Lucy, with whom he falls in love. Then begins the main plot as the three travel to New York City to see what life is all about. Along the way they meet Sadie, a middle aged club singer, Jo Jo, a guitarist who suffered through the Detroit City Riots, and Prudence, a young women who discovers Image courtesy ofInterscope.com she is different from other girls. These characters share experiences in turbulent 1970s America. All the while, 30 Beatles songs are masterfully splashed into the plot. Plus, the cameos by Bono, Eddie Izzard, Selma Hayek, Joe Cocker, and others pack a musical punch. But unlike recent celluloid musicals, "Chicago", "Moulin Rouge", "Hairspray", the main characters in this movie are likely to be performers you are not familiar with. The difference is they do not go 'over the top' in their performances and can flat out sing. For Beatles fans, this movie has some surprises as songs lyrics are woven into the dialogue and as you may have guessed, the characters names. When you take the music from the greatest group of all time and put it in a musical, it is no surprise that it would also be great. This movie caused me to fall in love all over again with some of my favorite songs, and I now have the soundtrack on my iPod constantly. Despite a few scenes of weak dialogue, this movie is awesome. It opened in select cities a while back, but now is coming to local theaters, so check your local listing. All you need is love, and to see this movie. Pub & Grill BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Abita Brewing Company brews Purple Haze in Abita Springs, Louisiana. Abita Springs sits 30 miles north of New Orleans. Currently, the company brews over 62,000 barrels of beer and 3,000 barrels of root beer. Unlike most root beer companies, the brewery uses sugar cane as the source of sugar for their root beer. The brewery has a diverse line of brews including Turbodog which earned number one beer in America by "Stuff Magazine" in August, 2005. The brewery proudly uses Abita pure spring water that has been tested free of manmade contaminants. The brewery solely utilizes spring water, malted bare1 e y, hops, and yeast in all of their recipes. The brewery does not use preservatives. They also focus on being an environmental efficient company. The brewery uses 70% less energy than traditional brewing methods. They also maintain a wastewater treatment plant and use a specific packaging technique to ensure the lowest usage of recycled paper as possible. The depleted grain and hops employed in the manufacturing process feeds cattle for local Abita farmers. Naturally, purple hues dominate the cardboard packaging containing six 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The design of the content printed on the packaging remains simplistic and elementary. The labels on the bottles contain the same format. However, a shiny silver line adds charisma to the shades of purple. A silver bottle cap with the word "Abita!" stamped onto it caps a beer with 4.75% alcohol by volume. The raspberry wheat beer pours smooth with almost no head. Aromas similar to raspberry champagne occupy the surrounding atmosphere. The beer also mimics the bright golden rays comparable to most champagne. The beer sends tingling sensations to the tongue and cheeks upon entry. A mellow sensation follows after the beer descends onward. The beer has a more biscuit flavor than raspberry flavor. Only briefly between sip and swallow can traces of raspberry be found. The brewers recommend enjoying the beer with salads or light f ruit desserts. They even recommend enjoying the beer as a dessert after dinner by itself. For another delicious f ruit oriented brew, consider sampling Pyramid's Apricot Hefeweizen. Cheers!

"At this point, I don't care who the president is, but I want somebody in there soon. I don't like the way it's effecting the stock market," said CSUSM business major Danica Howard in reference to the delayed results of the presidential election.. San Marcos student, Bennett Hope, wants to see Bush emerge as the victor. "If Gore gets elected, it's very likely this world will go down the. tubes. I think I may have voted for Bush out of fear that this country is becoming, far too liberal." Emphatically non-partisan, the rally was originally designed for those demanding a re-vote, or hand re-count, but it soon became the locus for all facets of political opinion, creating a local microcosm of American electoral debate. An organizer of the event, Bob Jellison remarked that the event is important for "making sure people get a chance to vote fairly." . Republicans, Democrats, Greens, Socialists, and Independents were all present and well armed with bullhorns, and cardboard signs. With their catchy rhyming slogans, they created an audible spectacle for news media, local police, cars and pedestrians, and later marched around downtown. Why the protest? Due to this being only the fourth time in the history of the United States that the electoral vote has disagreed with the popular vote, compounded with the atmosphere of ballot confusion and litigation in Florida, the election has led to mass confusion and outrage from citizens across the country.

Photo courtesyofDarcy Walker CSUSM German Club R emembers the Wall Ten years after German Unification By: Darcy Walker Pride Staff Writer To commemorate the opening of the Berlin Wall and the 10th anniversary of the unification of Germany, CSUSM's German Club constructed a replica of the wall and hosted a discussion with a German Consul. The Berlin Wall exhibition was on display in Palm Court last week. Led by German Club Vice President Jennifer Nowotny and faculty advisor Astrid Ronke, students from the club constructed and painted the wall over a period of several weeks. From a distance, German graffiti and brightly colored designs drew attention to the wall. A closer look revealed political cartoons, quotes from German citizens and startling facts. The names of the 80 people who died trying to cross into the West during the years of the wall, 1961 to 1989 were posted. East German soldiers shot many of these people. One died while trying to sail over the wall in a hot air balloon. The sad yet amazing history of a people divided kept Jennifer Nowotny engaged in the project. " I have a greater respect for residents who grew up with the wall in Berlin/' said Nowotny. She added, "I hope others who came to see the wall walked away knowing something they didn't know before." On Monday evening, November 6, the public was iavited t o a discussion led by Dr. Michael Wolff of the German Consulate in Los Angeles. Dr. Wolff talked about the challenges of the unification, which have taken longer to meet than citizens first expected. "In Germany we now have a new capitol, a new government and a new currency. What else can you change in a country?" said Wolff. He explained that population growth, unemployment and a new singlemarket economy based on the Euro have proven to be big adjustments for Germans over the last ten years. With new income from the sale of wireless phone licenses and many foreign investments, the economy is now strengthening, according to Wolff. Once occupied by internal problems, Germany was mostly uninvolved in European or global matters, explained Dr. Wolff. "After this process of political decocooning," he said, "Germany is taking on more political and military responsibility, like participation in Bosnia and Herzegovina " Taking place on the eve of our elections, the discussion naturally turned to politics. Dr. Wolff and Professor Ronke talked with guests about German politics and how they compare with our own. Some of the differences they pointed out were that Germany has five major parties and averages 80-90% voter turnout. Dr ! §i§ h i Electoral Process Student Pag&2 11 111 Wolff mentioned that the Green Party, whose style was the brainchild of Americans in the 1970's, has becbme one of the strongest parties in Germany. Gabrielle Luebeck, a member of the German Club, brought a chunk of the Berlin Wall that she and her husband auspiciously acquired on a 1990 visit to Germany. The concrete slab is plastered with a notice, which Dr. Wolff translated. It is a warning from the East German border patrol telling people to stay away from the wall. The German Club is planning a traditional. German Christmas celebration. Anyone interested should contact Jennifer Nowotny at jnowotny@csusm.edu. If you want information about joining the German Club, please email Professor Ronke at aronke@csusm.edu. v.' - V :• . ...... . W 'i A piece of the original Berlin Wall Photo courtesy ofDarcy Walker % Not many people have taken advantage of the services of security escorts. A CSO security shuttle van is provided every night to escort students to their cars. From 5:30pm to 10:30pm a Community Service Officer (CSO) uses a van as an escort vehicle to give students rides directly to their cars. Prior to beginning operations of this nightly security shuttle van, security escorts have always been available 24 hours a day. Last semester during a routine meeting between CSOs, one officer questioned why more people were not using the security escort services. It was suggested that the escort vehicle that was being used could only safely hold three people and was not big enough for escorting students to their vehicles. Shortly after that, a van was used in place of the car. The van used for the nightly security shuttle is the same van used for the daytime shuttle. It has three bench seats and a passenger seat, which all together can hold ten people. In addition to the security shuttle van holding more people, it is also wheelchair "Once students are made aware of it, they'll use it," says Officer Bill McCullough. accessible. The van is also more visible than a car and gives the feeling that you are only being escorted to your car, rather than being driven to the station for questioning. Since the security shuttle van came into use, the amount of students that have begun to use it as an escort has increased. Statistics from the CSUSM Department of Public Safety show that last fall semester, from August 1999 to November 1999, there were only 53 total responses to escort incidents before the presence of the CSO shuttle van service. This semester, August 2000 to November 2000, there have been 124 total responses to escorts responded by a combination of officers and CSOs. Despite the increase of escort incidents, the fact that not many people know about the availability of the nightly shuttle still concerns some CSOs and campus police officers. »Article continues on page 2 | ^ Fjitcrtainmcnt Opinion Page 6-7 ?

Political Rally ^ l i t l l l l l l l l P l i U ^ l i n n the actual ballot paper is being blamed for thousands of miscast votes, as the design appears to have confused many people into voting for the wrong candidate, voting for two candidates, or casting no vote at all. For these reasons, an estimated 19,000 votes were disregarded because the computers that counted the votes deemed them invalid. The design of the Palm Beach ballot was not used anywhere else in Florida. Floridians claim other election difficulties that potentially skewed the vote. "I think the electoral process y/as very unorganized, and I don't rule out corruption in Florida's case," said Effie Rengpian, CSUSM business major, The irregularities can be significant to the outcome of the election. Some Democratic Party supporters are calling for a fresh presidential ballot in Palm Beach County because of what they describe as a "major breakdown in the electoral process." It is possible that a judge could call for a revote in the most disputed precincts. Alternatively, those who did vote might be called in to recast their ballot. Electoral College v. The People Some experts have suggested that the Electoral College might not elect the presidential candidate who actually receives the most votes. This is because 48 states award all their electoral votes to the winner, regardless of a narrow margin of victory. Only two states—Nebraska and Maine—allocate electoral votes proportionately. This raises the possibility that a candidate could narrowly win a number of big states and get the most electoral votes and yet lose the popular vote. For instance, Texas Gov. George W. Bush enjoys a huge 30% lead in his native state. That would benefit him if the president were elected by a popular vote, i made? toral vote, since whoever receives the most votes in Texas will win all of that state's 32 electoral votes. A1 Gore, on the other hand, has relatively narrow leads in several big states, including California. As long as he gets more votes than Bush in California, Gore will take all of that state's 54 electoral votes. It does not matter whether the margin of victory was one vote or one million votes. Three times in election history a candidate has won the popular vote but lost the election. In 1824, Andrew Jackson won both the popular and the electoral vote. But, no one in the four-man race won a majority, or more than 50%, in the Electoral College, so the House of Representatives decided the outcome. The House picked John Quincy Adams, who had come in second in the popular and electoral votes. In 1876, Samuel J. Tilden won 51% of the popular vote, while Rutherford B. Hayes captured 48%. Hayes, however, won 185 electoral votes, while Tilden got 184. A special electoral commission picked Hayes to be president. In 1888, Benjamin Harrison became president by winning 233 electoral votes, even though he received only 47.8% of the popular vote. His opponent, GrOver Cleveland, garnered 48.6% of the popular vote, yet received only 168 electoral votes. There are a total of 538 electors. In December, the electors meet in each state's capital to formally elect the president. While electors are supposed to vote in accordance with their state's voters, they do not always do so. Current events show these electors can thwart the popular will, and it has in the past. Each time the Electoral College loser has been a democrat. With the margin of victory so narrow, the votes of an estimated 2,300 non-resident voters could be crucial. Army personnel and Americans living overseas are entitled to vote. Their ballot papers have to be date stamped on Election Day, 7 November, and have up to ten days to be sent from all over the world. The federal case presented by George W. Bush's campaign is scheduled to be heard Monday, November 13, at 9:30am Eastern time in Miami by U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks, a Democrat appointed to the bench for life four years ago by President Clinton. Regardless of Middlebrook's ruling, the decision could be appealed, possibly all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. With legal challenges pending and postal votes still in transit, a final result of the Florida ballot is highly unlikely to be declared before November 17. Many officials, urging a hurried decision, are concerned that the electoral delay appears as a black mark on American democracy, or is decreasing the authority of the eventual victor. But many San Marcos students, as well as an estimated three quarters of Americans, agree with student Rachel Crouthamel: "I don't think Gore is being a whiner. Gore has every right to make sure that whoever won, did so legitimately. It's a really tough situation, but one that is necessary to the process of democracy, and I don't think .we should rush into things." A CSUSM study-abroad student from Japan, Yukari Tamura, called the process "exciting. I've never seen an election so close. In Japan, citizens have no part in the election of the executive, so people have less interest in politics. But here, everyone is interested in the movement of government; everyone knows about politics and has their own ideas When will a decision be and opinion^'.

Although it would take much more than a few words in an article to sum up the courage, bravery, and true sportsmanship that persisted throughout these games, I would like to attempt to do so by telling the story of one courageous woman athlete. At twenty-three years old, Paralympic silver medallist Melanie Benn has survived a lifethreatening illness and has been an inspiration to everyone who meets her. was really low, and then the next thing I knew I had three and four IV's coming out from everywhere and doctors surrounding me. And that's when I knew something was really wrong."* According to a 1996 issue of the Humboldt Lumberjack, meningcoccus "affects one in 100,000 of the general population. For those people who become infected, only about 20 percent get as sick as Benn did." Meningcoccus is contagious and spreads through close contact, like coughing, sneezing, kissing, or sharing a cigarette. It is quite rare, however, to have more than 350-400 cases in California / a year. In a 1996 San Diego Union-Tribune article, Melanie's doctor, Dr. Hansbrough was quoted as saying, "Nobody understands why initially these patients are just a little bit sick and then suddenly they're almost dead. It's incomprehensible." Within a couple of months, Melanie contracted gangrene and lost a part of all four of her limbs, had severe kidney failure, and then had more operations to replace patches of skin. She was released from UCSD hospital on March 8,1996, and transferred to a rehabilitation center for therapy and kidney dialysis. Melanie was readmitted four times for seizures, sepsis, and pancreatitis. With medication, gall bladder surgery, and after her father donated his kidney to her, Melanie's health improved. Due to the severity of Melanie's illness, however, she will always have to control her health through medication. The long road to recovery Melanie braves meningcoccal meningitis After Melanie began to recover, she transferred her Humboldt College credits to SDSU, worked overtime and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She then took a year off from school to practice walking on her prosthetic legs. Every fall season Melanie competes in the La Jolla Challenged Athletes competition. She uses the muscles in her upper back and shoulders, deltoids and stomach to propel herself forward, gracefully gliding through the water. Her coach, Alan Voisard, swims along side her to support and cheer her on. Above: Melanie Benn moments after helping the USA relay team win the silver medal. Left: Melanie on her first set of prosthetic legs after the illness. Below: Melanie's last school photo before she became ill. All photos courtesy ofMelanie Addington A t a pool in Kearny Mesa where she practices, Melanie met Joe McCarthy, a quadriplegic swimmer and student at Mesa College. Joe had crashed into a sandbar while surfing in 1996. While in the hospital, the doctor turned on the television and showed him the Paralympic games. "McCarthy couldn't believe it, at that moment he realized that he to swim c ompetitively and pledged to himself that he was going to be on the 2000 P a r a ! ym p i c team," according to the Paralympic Athlete profile website. Joe convinced Melanie to compete with him in a swimming meet in April to try to qualify for the nationals. She reluctantly went and they both qualified. "He then talked me into going to Indiana [nationals]," said Melanie. At the national swimming trials held in June, both Melanie and Joe qualified for the Paralympic swim team. Melanie Benn was a freshman at Humboldt College when she almost died. She had just arrived home to Rancho Penasquitos for winter break when she started feeling ill. "I had a headache, and I felt like I had theflu,"said Melanie in a 20/20 broadcast report. As a rash appeared! on Melanie's arm, her mother, Candie, became quite worried. Candie, Melanie, and her sister, Jessica, rushed to the emergency room just in time. Melanie had contracted a rare form of meningcoccal bacterial infection. "By the time we got there she Swimming in Sydney was going into shock," Candie said, "Her blood pressure was In the Paralympics, athletes dropping, her veins were receive classifications for their collapsing, she could no longer range of disabilities.

According to grasp how sick I was until they Melanie, it is the "broadest cattook my temperature," said Joe McCarthy smiles after a good swim egory.. .because so many differMelanie, "and my temperature at the Paralympic games in Sydney. ent disabilities are in it." The 2000 Paralympics was Melanie's first international competition. As an advocate for the meningitis vaccination, especially for college students, Aventis Pharmaceutical Company gave her enough money to take all of her friends and family to Sydney, Australia to support her. A group of ten family members five competitions, the 50 freestyle, 100 free-style, 50 backstroke and two relay races. In all five competitions, Melanie did well enough in the morning heat to qualify for the evening's medal race. The relay competition included four swimmers from four different classifications. The American swimmers worked together and won the silver medal. Although Melanie did not medal in the rest of her competitions, she was able to leave Australia knowing that she was one of the top eight Paralympic swimmers for her classification. Melanie returned home in time for the Challenged Athletes on Sunday, November 5, but rather than competing, showed her support this year by cheering on other swimmers. What does the future hold for Melanie? Aside from being a strong, courageous, independent female, Melanie is also a twenty-three year old who sneaks M&M's and pizza when she is supposed to be in training. She is a daughter who, although divorced* stand side by side cheering her on in everything she does. She is a big sister that loves her sister Jessica more than anything else. She is godmother who wheels her godson around in her chair, and provides him with more wisdom and understanding than most kids have a chance to experience. She is a friend to those of who are lucky enough to have her in their lives. Melanie is currently attending UCLA Graduate School to get her master's in Social Welfare. Eventually, she plans to work in the social sciences, as either a counselor or therapist for disabled children. When asked what she hopes to do after graduation, she jokes, "sit on the beach and do nothing." For Melanie, like so many others that competed in the Paralympics this year, the future is a bright one. *From abcnews.com The Unknown Killer: What is Meningitis and who is at risk? �Taco Shop Poets and Professor David Avalos A Word to the Educators By: Marianne Goyette Contributing Writer Southwestern Community College put on a show Halloween night with CSUSM professor David Avalos and the Taco Shop Poets. David Avalos' work as an artist has inspired many more people that exist beyond this academic setting, and his involvement in education is not solely defined by the standards of traditional methods of learning. He says he is a "Johnnycome-lately to Chicano/a Art." Avalos was invited by Salvador Barajas and Arturo Roman to hang out at the Centro Cultural de la Raza in San Diego during the summer of 1974. Avalos also served an apprenticeship with Guillermo Aranda and Antonia Perez. By 1990 Avalos no longer considered himself a Chicano artist and, instead, described himself to one newspaper art critic as "a Chicano doing an impersonation of ail artist." Avalos' work is varied and he has created "psychocatholic Chicano fetishes" and received the CAC Fellowship for his poems and meditations on "life events ecstatic or otherwise." For example, Avalos' "Birth of Xima" evokes his first child's passage through her mother's birth canal and the significance of the birth for him. His life and work have also inspired the Taco Shop Poets. The members of the Taco Shop Poets are Adrian Arancibia, M i c h a el Fig g i n s , Benny Heron, Skip Howlitt, Gabr i el Nunez , Tomas .Riley and Miguel Angel Seria. When I attended the show at the Mayan Hall, I felt as if I entered a lecture space that was more free and diverse than what I normally encounter at Cal State San Marcos. The audience was very interactive with the poets. The Taco Shop Poets were able to pull out the ideas and feelings of the audience about such issues as race and education. The poets did this by making the audience join in and create their own style of poetry and voice. The poets' method is based on music and a kind of stream of consciousness. In this state of creativity, the poets addressed emotions and feelings about what it is to be hidden within the framework of society. The reasoning is based on the theories expressed by Taco Shop Poet member Adrian Arancibia in his work "Notes on Educational Prax." Here a rea few excerpts from his writing. "Ifeel we must continue to be critical of the mechanisms of the upper class here in the United States, but at the same time be Critical of the poor working class. Are Chicano/Latinos and African-Americans complacent in their existence? We see that ignorance is not bliss because this person's ufreedom" comes at a price; someone else's oppression. This does not mean that a critical thinker looks solely outside her/his reality. Insteadcritical thinkers must also constantly be critical of themselves while understanding that actingfor survival does not mean one has to act complicity and be co-opted by her/his oppressor Arancibia addressed the rea- A Look Around San Marcos: son for using art to create personal change. He believes that if you write out your feelings then you begin to gain access to your identity. For the Taco Shop Poets and David Avalos, this identity is intertwined with the role of teacher and activist, "In thinking back at how I write my poetry, I find that the subtle quality of writing no longer. exists. It becomes the framework for who I am," stated Arancibia. "This is why writing and reading my work is so empowering. Every human being must have this power." Arancibia is also a teacher who believes that "every educator should understand that they have the power to enact real change and end oppression. He questioned whether the community leaders and intellectuals are moving away from their cultural community by becoming academics. He said, "We as intellectuals within oppressed communities understand the lack of 'negative dialectic' (as Marcuse calls it). We see there are too few people questioning issues and problems that directly affect our community." During the session of spo- ken word I noticed a sense of community among the audience and the performers. It was a union not based upon race, education or social status. It was a collective spirit that was interested in exploring the freedom that is possible from diversity and individualism. That seems to sound like a paradox but it becomes apparent when one looks at art as both a personal and public interaction. Another poet named Tomas Riley explored this dichotomy in his poem, "Movement: Freestyles for the Dying Sun": Movement finds a moment in repose a mass unanswered prayer of signs and sirens break beats booming off a red sun caught between the upkeep and the downstroke moving mementos on a 45 waxing oh-no-myth-opaeic when the needle hits the groove old heads bouncing to the bank close to the real estate For more information on the poets, visit www.tacoshoppoets .org. This site offers an array of information about the Taco Shop Poets. If you have interest in learning more about this method of education and art, you can enroll in any of David Avalos's classes during the spring semester. Self Releases Toy CD "Gizmodgery" Part in World Ensemble By: Chelsea Louro Pride Staff Writer The Palomar World and Drum Ensemble gave an amazing performance at Palomar College on the nights of November 3 and 4. Both shows sold out and were standing room only. The Palomar World and Drum ensemble consists of 20 dancers and ten percussionists who are directed by dance professor PatriceAnn Mead and drum instructor Mark Lamson. The entire night was full of excitement, energy and emotion, and I found it very educational to learn about the traditions and customs of other cultures. There were ten performances throughout the night. The first half of the show focused on traditional and interpretational representations of AfroCuban dance. One performance was called "Festival" and was an interpretation of Afro-Cuban and Caribbean movement. This piece was choreographed to the traditional rhythm of "macuta" from Cuba. The second half of the show focused on music and dance of Afro-Brazilian origin. One of my favorite performances was called "Their Voices," a modern piece with an ethnic flair. PatriceAnn Mead choreographed this piece to bring awareness of the millions of starving and homeless children in the favellas of Brazil. The dancers portrayed the pain that these children endure everyday. Other dances performed throughout the night included the samba, originally from Brazil; capoeira, a dance that is an AfroBrazilian martial art; and the gaga, a traditional dance from Cuba. The gaga dance showed how African slaves were brought to Cuba to work in the sugar cane fields. CSUSM student Erin Reyes has participated in these dance classes for four years. Reyes says she has become very educated in these customs and traditions and loves learning about these cultures. If you ever have the chance to see the World and Drum ensemble perform again, take a chance on it. I was really impressed by the hard work of these students and how enjoyable it was to be part of something culturally different. These classes are available at Palomar College. The ethnic class, an introduction to Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian movement is class 1230, and the performance class for the World and Drum dance is class 430.

Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer Strong acting performances are the only highlights of Men of Honor, the latest film by George Tillman, Jr. Like Soul Food, Tillman's first film, Men of Honor is not much to brag about. Starring Cuba Gooding Jr. as Carl Brashear, Men of Honor deals with the son of a sharecropper who takes his father's words, "Be the best", to heart and does not let him down. Brashear joins the navy and is originally assigned to cooking detail aboard a navy ship. On a particularly hot day, Brashear, who is AfricanAmerican, decides to take a swim with the "white" sailors. Fighting against racial torment inflicted by the sailors, Brashear swims to a buoy leaving one of the sailors far behind. The captain sees this and puts Brashear on the rescue team since he is the fastest swimmer on the ship. After a stint on the rescue team, Brashear decides to go to diving school. Master Chief Billy Sunday (played by Robert De Niro) is Brashear's training officer and a mean-spirited man that chews and smokes his corncob pipe far too much throughout the film. Sunday has a drinking problem in the film (it seems more like a smoking problem, however, because he is always smoking that pipe and he is hardly seen with a drink in his hand). Yet, De Niro gives a strong a performance, despite the far lessthan-perfect script. After passing diving school and surviving racial torment (rac- ism is a major theme in the film), Brashear becomes a fulltime diver for the navy. While he searches for a missing nuclear bomb under water, Brashear is severely injured and his leg is amputated. The higher-ranking sailors do not think Brashear will dive again because of his injury. Billy Sunday* however, joins forces with Brashear (just to piss people off), and Brashear stands up and begins the twelve steps towards honor. You can tell from the determination in his face that Cuba Gooding Jr., as Brashear, tries to truly move the audience to some new emotional understanding about overcoming racism and what one man will do for honor. Yet, a shallow script makes this a mild B-movie. To put it simply, the film was good but not great. I would not bet on many Oscar nominations for this one. Men of Honor is rated R for language and is two hours and eight minutes long. �"A Campus View" Part Two By: Bryan Clark Pride Staff Writer In walking around our University Campus, I see some wonderful and unflattering sights on campus. Once again, I feel it's time to back my impressions up with pictures. The Library Courtyard is a relaxing place to sit down, read, and listen to the sound of running water. The small fountain near the middle of the stairways makes a great centerpiece. The shelter that the tree rows provide gives you a chance to enjoy the surroundings without too much sunlight. Here is one of those awkward objects you see on campus. It looks like a broken piece of furniture. Why is it there? I guess it's either postmodern art expression or it's used to hold doors open. Maybe broken furniture is all the school can afford. I've also noticed that people place their drinks here and forget about them. It's a good thing that someone remembered to clean this one up. The big green machine. It's big, green, and it makes noise. This is one of those power stations that regulate energy to Academic Hall, behind which it sits. If you have ever had to walk between Science Hall and Academic Hall you will see it on your Way to FCB, I guess this is a good place for it, but what will happen when our campus expands? Won't people need to walk around Academic Hall to access other places behind it? If it looks unsightly now, won't it look even worse in a few more years? Looking down from the 5th floor of Craven Hall, I spotted an attractive place on campus. The spotlight area in front of University Hall and next to the Academic Hall stairway has small trees, a nice bench, and a green carpet of grass. I even liked the recycling bins that were surrounded by a small fence. The area has plenty of space with the nearby walkways. It looks like a pleasant place to sit and wait for friends t o walk by. I think the big green machine could take a lesson from the recycling bins. All photos courtesy of Bryan Clark Winning at all costs By: Victor Mireles Pride Staff Writer The 2000 Presidential Election has become one of the most controversial in American history. In fact, they may be the nastiest. What is certain is that we will have a president. Yet I find myself torn by all of the charges and countercharges coming from both campaigns. At this moment, the world's attention is placed solely on Florida. The recount may come down to a few hundred votes in favor of one candidate or another. Imagine that—-your vote does count. Regarding the closeness of the election, A1 Gore seems to be climbing the walls. He has sent a team of lawyers and political hacks to raise hell in Florida because it looks he might lose by only a handful of votes. I don't know about you, but when I play a game, and my opponent has more Dear Opinion Editor: If the Palm Beach County ballot was irregular or illegal, then Democrats, who designed the ballot, made it public, published it in the newspaper, are to blame. If there were any objections to this supposed "illegal" ballot, they should have been made BEFORE the election. Democrats are purposely points than I do, I know I lost. I do not go around screaming about it saying that I was cheated or didn't understand the rules. A1 Gore's camp is asking for our support because they say that some people didn't understand the ballot and voted for someone else. To that, I say tough! If you are too stupid to follow an arrow that points to a specific point for you to punch in your choice for President or Dog Catcher, then maybe you should stick to shuffleboard or bingo. As for the re-vote, maybe when we were kids playing flag football we got to have a do-over, but not in voting. If those people in Palm Beach get to vote again, then why have elections? There is a lot more to say about this, but I would advise everyone who is passionate about politics or their party to sit back and wait for the final outcome. If either candidate wins by a small margin, then we should respect the result. distorting and politicizing this issue because they did not like the result, but in reality, they are admitting they failed to offer their voters a LEGAL ballot! The failure to do so should is the fault of Democrats, not Republicans. Florida statistics show that in the 1996 election, 15,000 ballots in Palm Beach County were discounted, and more than 143,000 were discounted and thrown out, statewide. Given the larger turn- out this election, the 19,000 ballots which were discounted is approximately the same that were discounted 4 years ago. Nobody complained then? A1 Gore and his Democrats are clearly showing they are sore losers. Should we now allow every county in every state to redo the election, so as to eliminate all discounted ballots and voter ballot irregularities? Mary Szterpakiewicz The Rainy Bus Stop By: Brian Lewis Contributing Writer It was 9:20pm and the 309 bus to Encinitas was very late. It was the last bus of the night and the straggling passengers anxiously awaiting its arrival were becoming increasingly forlorn. Then the rain started down, first in a sprinkle and then becoming torrential. I opened my umbrella. Under the soft lights of the Plaza Camino Real Mall entryway, I caught the silhouette of another passenger. Her small lithe figure was made practically non-existent by her wet clothes clinging to her skin. Eyes, dark and well-lit, large and round, were determined and vigilant. "I would have offered you my umbrella," I said, "but I have a fever of 103 and I do not want to get any sicker." She gave me a warm smile from under her black dripping locks. I thought back to a peculiar incident that had occurred at Cal State: Coming off the bus on Craven Circle one day, I made a dash to the restroom. Upon arriving in the stall, I noticed that someone had urinated on the toilet seat. I thought this was odd. Why soil the toilet with plentiful urinals? Not having a mind to dwell on such trivialities, I cleaned up the mess. A few days later, one possible answer came to me. There was a well-dressed, dignified man using the urinal. Minding his own business, he relieved himself at the wrong time and was reminded of something we all would just soon forget. There was a tall blond-haired, blue eyed man letting loose in the stall. It was a Norman Rockwell painting, if Rockwell had chosen the seedier side of the American psyche: the one in the stall did not want to piss next to the one at the urinal. Discrimination is a euphemism for unbridled arrogance. If the blue-eyed man could see, he would be horrified at his own reflection. Self-righteousness plucks out the eyes. There is no justification for life's little acts of unkindness. Our lives are filled with small things that we do on a daily basis. It is so easy to be courteous. Back to the bus stop, it may have been a twinge of guilt that made me offer that girl my umbrella. Perhaps sometimes I am ashamed to be white. HAVE AN OPINION?

The brewing allegations of voter fraud in close states are taking away from t he. exhilaration of the closest election in nearly f ifty years. Some in the established media would call this a "Constitutional Crisis" in hopes you stay glued to your television. Now that November 7 has come and gone we still do not know who pur next president will be. The country and stock market eagerly await the turmoil of uncertainty to pass and bring closure to the first election of the twenty-first century. Even though the race of races does not want to end, most candidates knew how their races faired by the end of the night. At a local level, our school's first alumnus to run for public office Mike Sannella gave a good showing at the polls but did not win his bid for San Marcos City Council. On a state level the Democrats picked up three seats in the State Assembly and one in the State Senate but could not get their #1 target Assemblyman Tony Strickland (R-Newbury Park). The Congress stayed under the GOP control even as the Democrats picked up key seats in Los Angeles with Adam Schiff unseated House Manager Jim Rogan (R-Glendale) and Susan Davis ousted the Brian Bilbray (R-San Diego). Congressmen Steven Horn (R-Long Beach) barely held off challenger Gerrie Schipske, as Rep. Steve Kuykendall (R-Marina Del Ray) defeated former Congresswoman turned losing Gubernatorial candidate Jane Harmon. US Senate races throughout the country have redefined the term "you have gotta be kidding me." The Little Rock from Arkansas put a dent in the Big Apple as the carpet bagging First Lady declared victory over New York Congressman and resident Rick Lazio in the New York Senate race. Being a New Yorker, I felt almost compelled to join a union for the ability to vote twice against Mrs. Clinton, although we have no fear that Hillary would be gone in a few years. According to Atlantic City bookies, Mrs. Hillary will soon leave the Senate either in the pursuit of higher office, or by one of those cabbies who refuse to take the "Run, Hillary, Run" stickers off the front of their cabs. In Missouri, the campaign of Governor Mel Carnahan slightly outlived the candidate and beat out Republican Senator John Ashcroft. In our litigious society we can rest assure the probability of lawsuits out the kazoo The P ride Co-Edifot Co-Editor Opinion Editor * Graduate Intern Faculty Advisor challenging the Constitutionality ! of his widow assuming the role of Senator since Carnahan was never sworn into the seat of Senator. While Democrats have a good history of turning out dead voters on Election Day, it might be a slightly greater challenge t o resurrect the dead governor and have him sworn in especially since Carnahan was never fully recovered from the wreckage. Stealing the show from the Senate races could only have been done by the presidential race. After all, this is the only race that every voter has the ability to vote for, although only thirty-some percentage of voters even bothered to vote. The campaigns of Nader, Buchannan, Bush, and Gore carried the appeal of alcohol free beer, and the substance level of the Betty Ford Center. Is it no wonder that the Some of the answers on Why not? include: campaigns based on five-second sound bites spoon fed to anyone who cares to listen has come "It should be kept because it helps students to develop both writing and down to A1 Gore kvetching about critical thinking skills.'' 19,000 voters who could not handle the simple task of punching the right hole on the ballot? "It should be kept, we are university students so let's start acting like it." Supposedly a small contingency of Palm Beach County voters could not handle the simple task of punching the corresponding hole on the ballot for their candidate amidst explicit instruction, diagrams and the ability to use a new ballot of they made a mistake. Still some managed to vote for Buchanan rather than Gore. Gore's campaign is determined to fight for these Floridians to be covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act under the grounds that his lawyer's interpretation of the ADA includes blatant acts of stupidity, and maybe the lack of common sense. Our country is the last standing super power. We posses the ability to send a man to the moon, automate the can opener, and give deviants the means to feed their fetishes conveniently by turning on their home PC, but we cannot handle the simple task of voting.

In 1993 a single officer from the Coronado Police Department loaded his police car with 12 brand new teddy bears and drove to what was known as Children's Hospital to deliver the teddy bears to the sick and injured children. Since then, the Children's Hospital has changed its name to Rady Children's Hos- I pital and now, the Teddy Bear Drive is a year-long event which will end on December 12. Instead of one single officer, a caravan of 100 police vehicles filled with stuffed animals travel to the Coronado Community Center. From there, the teddy bears are delivered to Rady Children's Hospital. As tradition, the officers will walk inside the hospital in full uniform with teddy bears in hand, awaiting the smiling faces of children as they hand out the bears. Last year, CSUSM helped to donate 430 bears. A large sum of money was also donated to the Campus Police which made it possible for the hospital to buy more Ü S See TEDDYBEAR, page 2 IIS!ISy^ffv^Ä i Tue. Nov 14 71/59 F F Partly cloudy Wed.

Through Paloma Elementary School and The Early Learning Center, ASI has contacted 16 families in need and on Thanksgiving, these families will enjoy a pleasant meal. This year will mark the sixth year ASI has taken part in the Turkey Basket Drive. According to ASI's Student Coordinator of Activities, Sara Gallegos, "It gives the CSUSM community a chance to give back to the families in need around the area," she says. When ASI assigned each student a family, they included the age and gender make-up of each family member. Each student signed up is expected to cover the cost of a turkey in the form of a gift card, as well as other non perishables that would add to a nice Thanksgiving meal. On November 21, ASI will collect the baskets and deliver them to the Early Learning Center where an ELC employee will deliver the baskets to the families.

Coach Ron Pulvers, who before the season believed his squad would be very competitive from day one, saw them struggle to get off the starting block. The Cougars were outscored 14-3 in those first seven games, and clearly were having trouble buying into the system and playing together. But with their backs against the wall, the Cougar women refused to fold. Seemingly from nowhere, they started playing much better in all phases of the game. The first evidence of this came in the eighth game of the season, where the Cougars outplayed La Sierra University but still found themselves headed into overtime with the game knotted at 2. While the squad might have been discouraged by this earlier in the year, the Cougars came together to get the result they believed they deserved. Off the overtime kickoff, Courtney Drummond, who had scored the squad's first two goals of the match, volleyed a pass from Kelly Wherry into the net, putting an official end to the Cougars' sluggish start to the season. After "turning the corner" in that game, the women would continue to build momentum. They went 62-1 in their final nine games, finishing the year with a respectable 7-8-1 record; which, as Coach Pulvers points out, could have easily been much better without some late blown leads. What was the turning point? According to the players, it was not a single event, but rather the collective realization that they could indeed trust and rely on each other, and that being a true "team" was key to success. They began hanging out more outside of soccer, genuinely enjoying each others' .company and bonding with one another. In the words of Drummond, "it all clicked" as this was happening. Coach Pulvers wholeheartedly agrees: "It took the girls a while to come out of their shells and get along," he says. "Midway through the season they caught on. That's when we started playing better." 2006 was indeed a tale of two teams for Pulvers. As the squad developed, early-season frustration was replaced with pride, as well as optimism about the team's potential for next year. Players grew into their roles, leaders began to emerge, and the team became a lot of fun to watch. Indeed, the joy of following the Cougars this year was in watching a group of individual players come together as a team. Of the many Cougars that made and defense. She also contributed count on.

Men's Soccer 2006 Season Review: Roaring past expectations R u l fvlp TrAmKlpif By Kyle Trembley It's easy to look back on the 2006 men's soccer season and play the "what if" game. After all, while the squad was a sparkling 12-3-1 on the year and undeniably one of the best in the region, when the time came to announce the playoffs, the Cougars were left on the outside looking in. What if the team had won in just once in those three losses? What if they hadn't tied Chapman College late in the season? What if the playoffs weren't structured in a way that allotted a maximum of one slot to independent teams? But focusing on those questions unfairly draws attention away from the fact that it was truly an amazingfirstseason for men's soccer at Cal State San Marcos. Coach Ron Pulvers sums it up: "If you would've made a deal with me before the season saying that we'd go 12-3-1 but miss the playoffs, I would've taken it in a second." That's because going into the year, nobody knew what to expect. Aided by Assistant Coaches Bobby Renneisen and Davy Phillips, Coach Pulvers recruited a group of guys - mostly freshmen - during last spring, in the hopes that they'd come together by the season's beginning. But in training camp and preseason, the squad's performance was decidedly underwhelming. They were fast, yes, but didn't appear to be playing with enough passion or toughness to compete at a high level Then, after a hard-fought road loss at Cal Baptist in their first game, the Cougars came home to i. participate in the f£ X irst-ever i•ntercollegiate sporting event held at Cal State San Marcos. On August 25th, the squad entered Mangrum Field to take on heavily-favored Cal Poly Pomona. An unexpectedly large and rowdy crowd of fans came down from the University Village to cheer on the Cougars, and President Karen S. Haynes as well as other key CSUSM figures were in attendance. What they saw was a Cougar squad that came together in front of their eyes. With the game tied at l-l in thefinalminute, freshman forward Michael Nuovo outran the Pomona defense to a loose ball, and tucked it under the keeper to give the Cougars a very dramatic first win in the program's history. They'd never look back. Following the Pomona victory, the squad rattled off six straight wins, outscoring their opponents by a total of 2l-l. Thefinalgame in that stretch was a 1-0 win against Point Loma Nazerene, a nationally-ranked school in the NAIA. Though the Cougars fell in overtime to Vanguard the following match, they wonfiveof theirfinalseven games to close out the season. But the question remains: How did the team gofrommoderate expectations (at best) right before the season to a 12-3-1 record on the year? Accoring to Coach Pulvers, it was all about team chemistry. "The season is a sprint, not a marathon," says Pulvers. "Ï underestimated how quickly the guys would get along. They genuinely liked each other and bought in to our system." In trying to find the major cata- 1f . „ lyst for it1 • cihemistry, one need not his look further than Ben Crouse. For thefirstthree years of his collegiate playing career, Crouse competed at the University of Notre Dame, starting on their defense for most of his junior season. His arrival at CSUSM gave the program instant credibility; and more importantly, gave the young squad a leader. "Benny [Crouse] was the key," remarked Pulvers. "His experience and personality brought the team together." Crouse anchored the group both on and off the field, and his vocal leadership combined with his willingness to buy into the coaches' system set the tone early for the younger members of the squad. Crouse, a senior, was appointed captain early on by Coach Pulvers, because (in Pulvers' words) "it was a no-brainef." On the season, Crouse recorded 5 goals and 2 assists, and was named to the All-Region team - no small feat, given that CSUSM is not even in a conference. While Crouse brought leadership and rock-solid play, it was up to the freshmen to provide the flare - and they delivered. Forwards Michael Nuovo and Curtis Marcikic drove opposing defenses crazy with their speed and creativity. Nuovo, whose ability to weave through defenders produced some of the squad's most impressive plays of the year, finished second on the team with 9 goals. He also recorded the program'sfirst-everhat trick in a loss to Santa Cruz. Marcikic, who provided the attack with muchneeded size, tacked on 6 more goals as well as 6 assists.

Delicious.com refers to itself as a "social bookmarking website." Joshua Schachter created the website in 2003. The website started out as a way to share online bookmarks with friends and eventually grew into del.icio. us.com Inc. in 2005. Also in 2005 Yahoo became a financial contributor to further the success of the website. r The website consists of bookmarks that are available to all Users. Users can create personalized lists of their favorite links. Other users can view and copy lists from other users. The website also hosts a "what's hot" category on the homepage for always replenishing and refreshing lists of the latest hot links. From ELECTION, page 1 adopt more socially conservative views than they did in the past. "[The election] reminded me of the World Series", said Bill Maher on Larry King Live on November 9th. Maher continues, "The St. Louis Cardinals didn't really win, the Detroit Tigers lost... That's sort of where the Democrats are. Let's see if you can win an election against a party that hasn't disgraced itself so horribly iri every single way a party could disgrace itself." The Democratic Party did not lose any incumbents in either The website requires users to create an account and install two buttons on their internet tool bar. These buttons allow for the swiftness and ease of adding new bookmarks to their lists. Users then tag bookmarks by assigning words that comprise the bookmark. For example, csusm.edu could be assigned tags such as Cougar, The Pride, San Marcos, The Dome, etc. Tim O'Riley is credited with creating the phrase, "Web 2.0". The term began when O'Riley used Web 2.0 as the title for a series of conferences held during 2004. Web 2.0 generally refers to a second generation of websites. The new era for the internet consists of social networking sites and communication tools. Web 2.0 focuses on the user of the internet as the contributor of information. Together users form a type of informational network that other users benefit from. Web 2.0 seems to be a community on the internet. Other examples of Web 2.0 are wikipedia.com, myspace.com, youtube.com, and amazon.com. These sites all have one thing in common: that users can contribute to the website, enriching, the content that other users can potentially benefit from. Although Web 2.0 is the common term used for the new breed of websites, many people and technological companies are skeptical of the phrase for numerous reasons. Some people argue that by labeling these new web sites 2.0 implies that the new era is merely un update version of original or common websites such AOL 9.0 and AOL 10.0. They argue that Web 2.0 should be labeled entirely different. Others have labeled Web 2.0 as a buzzword that has negative the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate. The election of a Democratic majority prompted the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Editors of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine times called for this resignation in a November 4th editorial. This editorial stated that "Donald Rumsfeld m ust go. ..Rutiisfeld has lost credibility with the uniformed leadership, with the troops, with Congress and with the public at large... [Rumsfeld's] strategy," says the Army times, "has failed, and his ability to lead is compro- mised. And although the blame for our failures in Iraq rests with the secretary, it will be the troops who bear its brunt." Some conservatives argue that Rumsfeld's departure will do nothing to fix the stalemate. "The issue isn't Rumsfeld, it's Bush and the prosecution of this war," said conservative talk show host and former San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock during an election night interview.

Some people accuse websites of labeling themselves 2.0 to generate hype and in return produce more money. Others are also accused of labeling their website 2.0 in hopes of creating, enough capital to induce a buyout from a larger company. The combination of the new era of websites and highly lucrative opportunities have led some economists to label this situation the new bubble, or Bubble 2.0, the second boom in the internet world. They are referring to the dot com boom and bust of the late nineties. Despite the controversies, Web 2.0 remains the official unofficial term for the new era of websites.

Voters also approved Proposition 83, to increase criminal sanctions against violent and habitual sex offenders. Every other state proposition failed to gain voter approval.

Last Tuesday, I covered the San Diego General Elections for "The Associated Press." It was the second time I covered an election day, and this time I learned a lot more than the first time. I also had a lot more fun since I got to cover it with my friend, Chantai Pasag, whose experience about the night is also detailed. I covered the Primary Élections in June for the "AP" and it was a terrifying experience, because I was so concerned with not screwing up. This time I had an idea of what was expected, so I was able to learn a lot about the behind the scenes type stuff involved with elections. I had the opportunity to ven- * ture into some rooms that many will never see, and meet some very interesting people. Around 2 AM, we were taken into the wherehouse where all the ballots and machines are taken from trucks and transported down an assembly line of people, eventually leading to the tabulation room. I felt like I was miniaturized, placed into some sort of a machine, witnessing gears operate and function like nothing I had seen before. I met David Morten when I covered the Primaries. I am not quite sure what his official title is, but he is good at his job. He passed the time with us past 3AM. He made the wee hours of the morning much more enjoyable as he provided someone to crack jokes with. I have never been comfortable around police officers or sheriffs, so you can imagine my discomfort when we spent most of the night around five sheriffs. I think they could see my discomfort, but by the end of the night we were all buddies. The security at the registrar of voter's building is quite intense. Even the lowest people in the bureaucracy question who you are, which led to me getting in some arguments, as you can imagine me with my "don't take crap" personality. Chantal and I have been members of the media for some time now, but this provided an opportunity to meet some new people in our profession. I met Sasha Foo from KUSI, a co-worker of Chantal's, who was very nice. I also met Carlo Cecchetto from KFMB News eight, who is a fellow Lakers fan, and had a lot of advice to offer about the T.V. media business. Since voting is a right and responsibility that people often times take for granted, it was great to feel like an important part of the process. Build your Resume more info; pride@csusm.edu BY CHANTAL PASAG Special to The Pride I have to admit I was "riding the high horse" this past Election Day as I had the privilege to work for one of the most prominent news sources in the nation, "The Associated Press." That night, the polls were about to close, and the line was still around the building. Unfortunately, for some last minute voters, they were cut off from trying to perform their civic duty. The way that some people react under stress is the way a voting machine reacts when being tampered with... they go ballistic. Under the pressures of voting, one woman proclaimed that "voting is not a right, it's a responsibility!" Recalling what she said post Election Day provoked the thought of the media's responsibility to report the number of voting machine glitches county wide, statewide, and nation wide. Fortunatelyrthe resignation of Donald Rumsfeld and the democratic take over of the house and senate saturated headlines. Of course it should, because that's huge! But what about the glitches? Apparently there were some problems at a polling location of a CSUSM professor. She says her husband got to vote twice because of technical difficulties with the machines. The "San Diego Union Tribune" reported on the matter saying glitches were reported in dozens of precincts earlier that day. Apparently, voters became frustrated as they were unable to use computerized voting machines and were "forced to use paper ballots instead." The role that I played election night, a reporter for the AP San Diego division, was pertinent to the entire election process. Just as the media, particularly television plays a pertinent role as an information outlet to our society. Most people look for convenience when it comes to information, but convenience lacks relevant information. So, not only is it our civic responsibility to vote, but it's our responsibility to seek out various news sources rather than relying on one. I've come down from my high horse since that night. The entire experience was very interesting. I got to converse with sheriff investigators about taser guns and I-pods, which was an unusual mix of small talk. Also, some cronies from my everyday job at KUSI stopped by for their live shots at the registrar of voter's office. I also had the chance to briefly chat with Carlo Cecchetto from KFMB channel eight. It's a nice dose of reality to know that most of the professionals I talked with had a good sense of humor. For the people in this industry, having a sense of humor is what keeps them sane, as the news can sometimes disconnect them from human suffering. As former comedian Victor Borge said, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."

I'm past my kegger days, and at restaurants when everyone else orders a beer, I order a pop. So you could imagine my surprise last week, when I tasted the Lightning Kolsch and actually liked it. A beer!? That I like! Lightning Kolsch doesn't leave that aftertaste in your mouth that leads you to wonder, "Why am I drinking this?" It tastes sweet, but not too sweet like a frou-frou fruity mixed drink. Also, it's locally brewed, so you'll be supporting the community! So if you're still searching for a beer that you enjoy the taste of, Lightning Kolsch is a great choice. BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride StaffWriter Housed with authentic German-styled brewing machinery, the beers Lightning Brewery makes are tasty and cheerful. Gearing up to celebrate their annual 'Lightning Fest'. at Churchills this Thursday, November 16, there will be plenty of Lighting Kolsch to go around. Coming in at a low 4.6% alcohol by volume, this beer is a delightful and sweet addition to any meal; so good, I just couldn't get enough of the citrus-flavored treat when I paired it with a scrumptious French dip. Designed to be a lighter beer that consumers can enjoy one round after the other, Lightning Kolsch will tantalize your taste buds and paint a warm glow on your cheeks; that is after two or three pints of course. I've tasted many a beer since turning 21, but this one might just take the cake as the sweetest, most spectacular beer I've ever4 had; heck, it's so sweet it could be a cake in itself. Drink of the Week B O N D M ARTINI BY DAVID-BAUER Pride StaffWriter martini that was shaken rather than stirred as a 'Bond martini'. Martinis are traditionally made with gin rather than vodka, and shaking vodka is generally avoided. When vodka, or any alcohol, is shaken it creates tiny air bubbles making it appear cloudy. These air bubbles prevent the alcohol from reaching all of the taste buds when it's drunk. Some vodka martini enthusiasts claim that makes the Bond martini the perfect palate cleanser. As Bond says in Casino Royale, "I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large, I confess that I'm not a big beer fancier. I much prefer sampling from the vast array of pleasures that make up the cocktail cosmos. Lightning Kolsch, however, has nudged the door to a new realm of possibilities slightly ajar. Brewed by local Lightning Brewery, the Lightning Kolsch is a light, German-style beer meant for easy drinking. Light-golden in hue, this beer is low in alcohol but infinitely flavorful. The flavor, however, is a subtle one. The sweet malt flavor, combined with the fruity, floral aroma combine for a truly delightful drinking experience. From champagne to bourbon to Raki, throughout Ian Fleming's novels, James Bond tried a number of drinks. In Fleming's first novel "Casino Royale" though, James Bond laid out the ingredients to what would become his trademark drink: a vodka martini—shaken not stirred. Later in the same novel, Bond would name his drink "The Vesper" after the sensuous Vesper Lynd. For decades afterwards though, people would refer to any vodka and very strong, and very cold, and very well-made." And the drink is well made; the exact ingredients are given in the beginning of the novel, "a dry martini... in a deep champagne goblet... three measures of Gordon's [gin], one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet [vermouth]. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, and then add a large thin slice^of lemon-peel." Set off by the sharp citrus of the lemon, this martini is cool and refreshing and cleanses the palate. "Bruising" the gin by shaking it with ice, also adds additional water to the mixture as the ice is broken apart lightening the taste. This of course means that the Bond martini does not have much personality in itself and is not much of a stand alone beverage. As an Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride aperitif it does quite well, however, unlike its namesake Vesper Lynd, it lacks personality, complexity and body. CD Review: Secret Apollo, "Homemade Time Machine" 9 # # ^ BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride StaffWriter As bizarre as they are, I can't help but love Secret Apollo. They are so inexplicable, and so weird that I found myself laughing more than I found myself cursing their repetitious chorus lines and crazy 18 tracks of noise on "Homemade Time Machine."

They have expressed outrage over his pale, blonde, blue-eyed visage. They've started webbased campaigns. They've even threatened to boycott. I say, go ahead. I do so hate an over-crowded theater. To be fair, however, I must admit my uncertainty over the decision to cast Craig as the larger-than-life super-agent. 1 have my favorite Bond, as Vm sure most of you James Bond f ans do. How would this newcomer stack up against my ideal 007? With somewhat jaded anticipation I awaited his debut. I've seen Bonds come and go. I'm used to the routine. Yet, when Daniel Craig uttered his first line as the famous spy, my cool composure started to melt. There's a new Bond in town, thought 1, and he's packing heat, all right. As the first of Ian Fleming's novels, "Casino Royale" seems the perfect vehicle for Craig's new Bond. It introduces the hero just as he is attaining "00" status. The audience witnesses his first two kills and, perhaps more importantly, his reaction to them. A rugged; ruthless Bond, Craig takes up the challenge begun by Timothy Dalton to humanize a character that had become, under Roger Moore's watch, a parody of itself to another level. With his electric blue eyes, perpetual pout, and painfully athletic approach to fight scenes, Craig's Bond seems the right combination of charm and grit. His is a bloody Bond, a fallible Bond, and, dare I say it, a vulnerable Bond. After a mission goes horribly wrong, Bond runs off to the Bahamas - to follow the trail of a poker genius, a banker by the name of Le M Qj\SINO ROYALE C hiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) whose client list includes infamous terrorist organizations. The stunning Eva Green (who starred in Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom) plays Vesper Lvnd, a British Treasury official with a sharp mind and a ready w it whose job is to provide and watch over Bond's stake in a poker game the outcome of which may bring terrorist operations crashing down. Judi Dench reprises her role as M, the no-nonsense head of M16, whose presence onscreen always adds a silvery highlight of pure class and whose feelings towards Bond seem as complex as ever. If her role in "Casino Royale" has a flaw, it is only that there is not enough of M in the film. Overall, "Casino Royale" is a delicate balance between blood and wit, which in itself is not Unusual; however, it is the gritty, engaging manner in which this new Bond alternately engages in fight scenes and delivers cheeky one-liners that wins my approval and hope that Daniel Craig will return as James, Bond in future films. "Casino Royale" will be in theaters 17 November.

Last Thursday, Dr. Merino gave a lecture b efore an audience of approximately 30 students, faculty, and staff, in University Hall. Dr. Merino reflected on her childhood and how little girls were not permitted to have interests in literature then. She described growing up during the Franquismo period when Spain was under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. She explained that Spain was, and f or the most part, still is, a Machismo dominated society where women are often held back by men. She stated that women could not do anything in earlier generations, but times are changing. Women have come a long way in Spain. Spain is a more liberal society now, Dr. Merino claimed. Women take advantage of their leisure time; they are for the most part domestic and have plenty of time to pursue hobbies. Dr. Merino mentioned that the highest numbers of college graduates in Spain are women. Women are now contributing more books for publication. Dr. Merino recalled a couple of scary moments in her life. One See MERINO Pg. 7 IN THIS ISSUE Opinion/................. 2-3 Psyche Fairy.....

Cahill P RIDE EDITOR CSUSM's Academic Senate passed two new resolutions in their November 10th meeting in response to the September 30th, 1999 d raft revision of the CSUSM values, mission and vision statement, and toVice President of Academic Affairs Karas' July 6, 1999 memo addressing faculty workload. The resolutions affirmed the importance of research and creative activity as an essential element of faculty work, and the benefit of intensive faculty-student ioteraction as an avenue for continued excellence for the university. Background information provided on the resolution notes that "[t]he September 30th, 1999 d raft revision of the CSUSM values, mission, and vision does not mention scholarship and creative activity", nor does it "mention high quality teachei>student interaction," both of which have been central to the university in the past decade. The background information also states that the Vice President of Academic Affairs Karas' July 6, 1999 memo "appears to retract his support for scholarship/creative activities on campus," and "appears to retract his support for high quality teacher-student interaction on campus." Resolution affirming intensive faculty-student interaction as an avenue for continued excellence as a university. Bud Morris, Academic Senator, COAS The faculty resolutions call for a recognition of "the importance of scholarship/creative activity" and "the importance of intensive, high quality faculty student interaction;" and "urges the President and Vice President of Academic Affairs to propose a model of workload accounting that properly registers the significance of these and related activities that comprise bona fide faculty work and upon which the continued excellence of our university depends." Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction is one way CSUSM is able to personalize its instruction f or individuals, and Whereas high-quality facultystudent interaction engages students in learning opportunities and mentoring that enrich students' academic lives, and Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction stimulates students to develop professional interests in their areas of study and, Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction serves the goal of attracting and retaining intellectually engaged students and faculty, Be it Resolved: That the Academic Senate of California State University San Marcos calls upon the President and Vice President f or Academic Affairs to clearly and unequivocally acknowledge the centrality of intensive, high quality faculty-student interaction to the university mission. Further, the Senate urges the CSUSM administration to propose a comprehensive and valid means of accounting for faculty workload that encompasses the f ull range of critical contributions faculty make to the institution, including participation in such activities as independent studies, supervised instruction, thesis supervision, internships, service learning courses, advising, colSee SENATE Pg. 7 Sociology Club AKD "Brown Bag" Voicing Politics on College Campuses Samantha M. Cahill Andrea Cavanaugh P RIDE EDITOR P RIDE STAFF WRITER Members of C SUSM's Sociology Club and Alpha Kappa Delta International Sociology Honor Society co-sponsored a "Brown Bag Luncheon" for sociology students and faculty on campus last Thursday afternoon. The catered event drew approximately thirty attendees including CSUSM students and faculty, as well as students and faculty f rom local community colleges. Sociology Club and AKD member Barbara McCune, passed out brown bags for note-taking to diners as she explained that the original organizing principle of both AKD and the Sociology Club was to provide a "brown b ag" atmosphere where faculty and students could come together and share their research and ideas. In line with this principle the CSUSM AKD and the Sociology Club co-sponsored t he luncheon and invited students and faculty from local community colleges in hopes of fostering academic t ies with other Sociology students and faculty i nthe area. Sociology Club and AKD member Donnamari Cruickshank introduced various CSUSM faculty members who shared their current research interests with the group. The event provided an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students and faculty to share their research interests. Should students be forced through mandatory student fees to fund groups and viewpoints they find morally objectionable? The U.S. Supreme Court was asked to consider this issue on November 9th in a case where both sides are invoking the First Amendment to support their point of view. Funding for campus clubs at public colleges and universities across the country may change next year if the Court decides in favor of Scott Southworth, a conservative Christian student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Jordan Lorence, a lawyer representing Southworth and other students who objected to the fees, referred to the students' forced financial support of the groups they ideologically disagreed with as "compelled speech." He said that the students have "a First Amendment right not to speak," on issues with which they disagree. However, attorney Susan K. Ullman, representing the university, said the students benefit from their First Amendment right to hear from a "diversity of voices." Ullman and others have argued that campuses represented by a variety of viewpoints make an invaluable contribution to higher education: "It furthers the university's mission," Ullman said. Student government leaders at the University of Wisconsin support the current system and said that the lawsuit is an attack against racial minorities and homosexuals. ' This is part of a larger strategy to shut down the voices the Christian right disagrees with," said Adam Klaus, chair of the Associated Students of Madison (ASM) at the University of Wisconsin. The conservative students objected to paying fees to support such groups as the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Campus Center. If the court agrees with Southworth, student associations may be prohibited from dispersing funds derived from student fees to groups that engage in "political or ideological advocacy." The case is being watched closely by colleges and universities across the country. If the justices decide in favor of the conservative students, observers predict that the outcome will have an effect on most public colleges and universities. How the ruling might affect funding of student groups at CSUSM is unclear. "The ASI would get a legal interpretation before taking any action," said Darlene Willis, Executive Director of the ASI. "But I would say it would definitely have an impact." Funds are currently dispersed by the Inter-Club Council, or ICC, a group made up of one representative f rom each o fficially recognized campus club. Willis pointed out that the ICC funds activities, not organizations, a distinction she said is critical in differentiating CSUSM from the University of Wisconsin, where the court case originated. So far in the 1999-2000 school year, the ICC has voted to give funds to groups as diverse as the Soccer Club, the German Club, MEChA, and the Computing Society. Willis declined t o say whether she thought that any of these groups engaged in political or ideological advocacy. As to what constitutes political or ideological advocacy, Willis said that would be difficult to define. She said, "If they [the Supreme Court] make this decision, I hope they spell that out." ASI President Waleed Delawari was more direct. "A typical activity funded by the ICC is movie and pizza night. How that could be considered political?" �An Open Letter to Anyone Who Smokes June Hodges Nov. 15, 1999 is the Great American Smoke Out. I hope that many of you will read the literature being distributed on campus on that day and decide to quit smoking. It w on't j ust benefit your own future health, but will also benefit all the friends and family who love and care about you. I lost my favorite cousin to lung cancer in the spring of 1996. Her name was Wiloda, and we had grown up like sisters back in the farm country of Southern Illinois. As kids, we climbed the leafy branches of old apple trees with a salt shaker in hand and ate the forbidden (unripe) green fruit, gathered freshly laid eggs from the hen house, picked buckets of sunripened cherries while standing on top of a high ladder, waded in creeks where water moccasins (snakes) sometimes lurked, cooked tomatoes from the garden in a tin can over our own campfire (and became deathly ill), rode horses and donkeys bareback, and shared secrets, giggled, and laughed at bedtime until we were told to hush. I remember the sadness and loss I felt on the day she got married and moved away with her young Air Force husband. My best friend was gone and I knew things would never again be the same between us. After my marriage, I moved from Nebraska to Kansas and eventually settled in California. Wiloda and her husband, Marion, always remained in Illinois, close to their parents and brothers and sisters. We kept in touch through letters, phone calls, and sum- mer visits and I attended their 50th wedding anniversary. In the spring of 1994, Wiloda called to tell me that she and her husband had been diagnosed with lung cancer that day. They had smoked for a long time, but Marion had quit several years before. Wiloda had not. Her favorite part of the day was to get up early, jump in the car, and join two of her long-time women friends at the village cafe for coffee, gossip* and the first cigarette of the day. Marion died before the New Year rolled around and Wiloda was undergoing extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments. In the next two years, she would go in and out of remission and continue the debilitating therapy, each time hoping that it would be the last. We talked on the phone, and we prayed together. We rejoiced if the cancer was in remission, and cried if it w asn't. Just before I saw her for the last time, she told me that her chest was so burned and scarred that she would never consent to undergo radiation again. She was in remission when she came to spend her 70th birthday with me. When I picked her up from the airport, I could hardly believe this was my 'Dode.' She was delivered to the waiting room in a wheelchair. Her hair was snow white, her voice came out in gasps and whispers, and her appearance showed the ravages of a very destructive and unrelenting disease. I lowered my tear-filled eyes as I handed her a bouquet of flowers and kissed her. When I hugged her, I could feel the bones protruding through her lightweight summer dress. See SMOKERS Cont. Pg. 7 DEAR EDITORS: Throughout my three years as a student here at CSUSM, I have noticed many changes on our campus. These changes were sometimes thought to be in the best interest of the students, nonetheless the students were never asked for their opinions or suggestions. I often ask my self when I hear about new decisions made on campus, "Isn't it for us the students that this University is here, to educate and serve?" DEAR FELLOW CSUSM STUDENTS: I am writing in response to inquiries regarding the CSUSM College Republicans that I have received in recent days. As I am sure you all have noticed, the College Republicans have been mentioned in one form or another in The Pride paper numerous times m recent weeks. Such attention has raised some questions from the student body and as Chairman of the College Republicans I feel that it is my responsibility to clear some of the misconceptions and inform the CSUSM community o f what the College Republicans are all about. I want to begin by saying that I am not happy about the recent happenings that have been taking place on campus between the College Republicans and The Pride as I believe that I have allowed our organization to slip off track from our originally set goals and focus. Although I do pledge to drop this issue after today, I think it i s important that the CSUSM community at least know why the College Republicans were upset with The Pride paper. On October 7th 1999, the College Republicans brought a California State Assembly candidate onto campus to spend an evening with us discussing political issues and current events. The event was open to everyone and the College Republicans encouraged all students, faculty, friends, and family to attend. To inform the CSUSM community of this event, the College Republicans issued a press release flyer to The Pride paper and also spoke with one of The Pride's reporters. The reporter returned a couple of days later and informed me that her editor was not going to put anything in the paper about events for the College Republicans and that if we wanted advertising for our events we would have to pay for it. The College Republicans did not believe that an article informing the school of the upcoming event was an advertisement. The event was news and the paper should report the campus news. As we all know CSUSM is a California State school and I think the people of our school would have been interested to know what the front-runner candidate f or the California State Assembly would have to say about the future of education. If elected, the way our guest votes in the Assembly could affect every student, faculty, and staff member on this campus. If that is not news, I am not sure what is. This was a clear example of biased reporting or lack of reporting. There are two misconceptions about the College Republicans that I quickly would like to address. First, the College Republicans have been referred to as the Young Republicans on numerous occasions in The Pride. The College Republicans are the only Republican student organization on campus. The Young Republicans are a fine grassroots organization consisting of members between the ages of 18 and 40 but they do not have a charter on the CSUSM campus. Second, the College Republicans and the Young Americans for Freedom are not the same clubs. These two clubs are two totally different organizations and although the two organizations may share some similar beliefs, the College Republicans do not condone all of the activities that YAF conducts. As I mentioned earlier in this letter, I intend to return the College Republicans to our original goals and focus of getting students more involved in the political process. Currently people between the ages of 18 and 24 do not participate in the political process in any significant percentages. We hope to make a difference with that by offering our members opportunities to get involved. This is what the College Republicans do. This is why we were founded and this is what we will continue to do for years to come. We are here to help enhance the campus life at CSUSM. You may have noticed that I often refer to our school as a community. I honestly consider our little school to be its own little community and I love the fact that CSUSM is that way. Our school is unique in that we all benefit from small class sizes and close relationships/friendships with our professors. You just won't find those benefits at other schools. Everybody knows everybody here. This is awesome and the friendships made while here at CSUSM will last us all a lifetime. I love o ur school and plan to be an active part of CSUSM as a proud alumnus, long after I graduate. If you have any questions o r concerns please feel free to contact me at mike sann@yahoo.com. See you in the halls! Thank you for your time, Mike Sannella Chairman CSUSM College Republicans EDITORS' RESPONSE It deeply disturbs me to see that someone on campus such as Phyllis has taken initiative to correct something she saw wrong on her own, and was immediately shunned for what she did (which we all know was the right thing to do) in the following Pride article with the retraction. It is because of people like Phyllis and the many others Tom Weir, Jim Carr, etc...(whom the University is LUCKY to have as employees) who take initiative and fix things they see wrong on their own or go out of their way to help us students, that I love going to this University. The thing I hate is that some members of our Administration don't know how to react when they make bad moves and try to make those who fix them look bad. These Administrators should be able to recognize when they make a mistake and get over it as well as give credit to those who DESERVE it. It is obvious by what the retraction article said that the person who was in charge of correcting this problem at the time was not doing his job, therefore someone else had to come in and correct the problem. Hopefully in the future the Administrators of this University will make better decisions based on input from the students, learn to deal with their mistakes, and move on. News, by definition is something which is duly reported upon after it has occurred; and is not pre-event publicity. The Pride does* not do free advance publicity f or any campus clubs or organizations. The Pride will, if space permits include information about club or organizational events in the Calendar of Events. However, due to lack of time (and inclination) The Pride cannot, and will not retype flyers, letters, or any other form of paper based communications. All submissions to The Pride must be sent in electronic copy. This both explains the lack of pre-event publication for Mason Weaver, and his position on the front page after his talk on campus. Contrary to your statement that there has been a problem between The Pride and the College Republicans, The Pride has never considered itself as having a problem with the your organization (m fact we sought out contributions from your members). However The Pride does take offense to the derogatory comments leveled by the YAF who denounced The Pride as a 'tabloid,'' and undermined the hard work of the contributing students (a number of whom are Republicans). The Pride notes that you distinguish yourself as separate from the YAF, however, the fact that you were, until recently, listed as the membership chairman of the YAF has also been duly noted. The Pride commends the College Republicans, a fully recognized on-campus organization, in their return to their goal and focus of getting students more involved in the political process.

Imagine my surprise as a new CSUSM student only to find out that our program has not been given even one tenured faculty position in the ten years of its existence. Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the experiences and issues of women past and present, from diverse race, class and cultural backgrounds. As a program it epitomizes the commitment to diversity that the University considers a cornerstone. The most important benefits of a tenured faculty member would be in providing a liaison between the University and the Women's Studies majors and the necessary program development required to insure that the program continues to address the issues facing women in a dynamic global environment. Currently sharing these duties are Co-Chairs, Dr. Linda Shaw and Dr. Jill Watts, who have the added responsibilities of being faculty in other programs. The University's failure t o provide a tenured faculty member f or the Women's Studies program reflects poorly on CSUSM's credibility in its commitment to this program. It is time for CSUSM Hiring Priority Committee to dignify the Women's Studies program by establishing a tenured faculty position. Randi Jerrell V0 • t ' • *' i. % % % * \ . V k v* i: * m % • *V t^ Veterans Day, a federal holiday, saw a high number of children on campus because they had no school but their parents did. I realize this letter may make me an unpopular person on campus, but I believe having minors in a college classroom compromises the learning environment for the entire class. A discussion about children on campus must be initiated. According to CSUSM Policy as listed on the web (http://ww2.csusm.edu/business_serv/206p__Depend_Children_on_Campus.htm), "As a growing campus, CSU San Marcos' facilities are fully utilized, and as a result, it is necessary to limit access to the campus by dependent children who are not currently enrolled CSU San Marcos students." The policy then outlines conditions when students are permitted on campus. One passage states that children shall be "under the direct supervision of their parent or legal guardian who is attending class or work, and is unable to obtain child care for the day. Prior approval by Instructor's or employee's supervisor, or both, is required.'' I empathize with the child-care dilemma of parent-students, but I feel their situation,is no less fair than the situation instructors and fellow classmates are asked to endure when the children become uninvited visitors to the classroom. The "prior approval by Instructor" may often be granted, if asked for at all, in a split-second decision that the instructor is asked to make before taking the final step across the threshold and into t he classroom. The instructor can be placed in the unenviable position of having to choose whether or not to exclude the parent-student and child from class. If allowed in the classroom the child-visitor may adversely affect that day's lecture, or stifle candid classroom discussion, because of attempts to avoid exposing the child-visitor to adult or otherwise sensitive material. I don't have the answer, but I do challenge readers of The Pride to discuss child-care options openly. Perhaps CSUSM's own ASI ("by students f or students") could investigate the feasibility of opening up an hourly day-care service (in addition to the already full ASI Early Learning Center), either on or off campus. Maybe ASI could use one of the vacant o ffice spaces of the Palomar Pomerado Health Services building that sits adjacent to the campus. No one, a parent, a child, instructor, or classmate, should have to "just deal with it." The University Store is very concerned about the conditions under which any product for resale on campus is manufactured or assembled. Therefore, we make every effort to "Buy American" whenever possible. Unfortunately, buying exclusively American is becoming increasingly difficult to do, as ever-increasing numbers of manufacturers go offshore to remain competitive. The University Store, therefore requires every manufacturer to comply with a written code of conduct requiring adherence to minimum employment standards regarding wages, benefits, working hours, overtime, child labor, forced labor, health and safety, nondiscrimination, harassment and abuse, and collective bargaining. Using these guidelines allows us to work with a variety of vendors t o insure that customers are offered the necessary assortment of quality products at competitive prices. We realize that a code of conduct is not a panacea for international labor problems, but we also believe that a code of conduct can be a positive factor toward the ultimate goal of elimination of child labor, sweatshop conditions, and other labor problems. We at the University Store are working diligently to do our part in confronting this very significant human rights issue.

Woodward P RIDE STAFF W RITER By Mark Zornes P RIDE STAFF WRITER Three Kings is definitely a bizarre film but also one of the y ear's b est This movie has some really great action mixed with some weird political humor. The movie takes place at the end of the Gulf War of 1991 Operation Desert Storm. "Are we shooting?" the movie's first words set the pace. The w ar's truce confuses the soldiers that a guy waving a white flag gets his head shot off in the misunderstanding. Later, three U.S. soldiers find an Iraqi with a piece of paper embedded in an orifice of the bottom. An officer issues a rubber glove and tells a private to pull it out. The map shows the location of gold bullion looted f rom Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's troops and buried in a secret bunker. The three soldiers are Sgt. Troy Barlow (Mark Wahlberg), Chief Elgin (Ice Cube) and Pvt. Conrad Vig (Spike Jonze). Sgt. Maj. Archie Gates (George Clooney), a Special Forces veteran who stumbles onto the three soldiers decides on the spot to lead them on an unauthorized mission to steal the treasure. This embarks the movie on a wild extraordinary ride through the desert in search of the gold. Meanwhile, Adriana Cruz, played by Nora Dunn as a driven journalist who just wants a story at any cost follows the men on their escapade. She adds a lot of the parody comedy that the film seems to embellish. Most movies show bodies being hit by bullets and blood splattering out of them, but this one sends the camera inside to show a bullet cavity filling up with bile. It is a great piece of work and is just one reason why this movie is so incredible. Also, cameraman Newton Thomas Sigel uses a grainy, bleached style that gives this movie its identity and is like nothing most viewers have seen on film. A political undertone thrives all through the film. It is pure irony that while Iraqis kill Iraqis the American gold thieves prosper from their anguish. Getting the gold was easy and getting it out of Kuwait posed some troublesome problems f or the sol- "It was better than the first one.

Toy Story 2 also Rated R lacks the story development of the original movie. Toy Story offered the viewer insight into the imaginary worlds of two young boys, the emotionally healthy Andy, and the emotionally twisted Sid. The implied horror of Sid's psyche was far scarier, and far more real, than a toy kidnapping can ever hope to be. There are few surprises in Toy Story 2. You can pretty much predict the plot every step of the way. But what is tedious for me can be fabulous f or a 10-year-old child. My son loved the movie. The computer-generated animation is still impressive, and there are lively moments sprinkled throughout—like when a bevy of Barbie dolls dance to music a la Beach Blanket Bingo. The characters are still lovable, and hip enough to coax lots of laughs. Compared to many movies targeted for children, Toy Story 2 didn't bore me, at least. I recommend you go, but take a child. Opens Thanksgiving, Rated PG �CSUSM Swansea, Wales GSUSM London, England Immunization Adrienne Lopez Lisa Morgan Student Health Services (SHS) is holding free MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) Shot Clinics for students born after January 1, 1957 and who need to satisfy the CSU-wide immunization requirement before the beginning of their second term. Students who have not provided proof of prior immunization to SHS will have an "I-hold" placed on their record and will not be able to register for Spring classes until satisfying the CSU requirement. I am attending the University of Wales at Swansea, which is a campus that holds about 11,000. The academic system here varies a bit from what I 've been used to at CSUSM. Here, they require 3 years of study and the fourth year is considered graduate work. I am taking four* classes that extend throughout the year. This system is exciting for me because it allows me an opportunity to study a few subjects in depth. The classes do cover a lot of material, but the material is more focused. I get to learn more about my field of study, instead of a little about everything. Although you can take classes outside your major, in Wales there is really no such thing as general education. Also, the whole atmosphere is a bit more relaxed. There is a lot of competition to get into universities, so the students seem to take their positions and studying a bit more seriously. D on't get me wrong, people still want to have f un, however they d on't take their roles f or granted. Students are expected to do a great deal of independent study. For example, f or one literature class I have a suggested reading list of 10 to 20 books. I am not expected to read them all, but they are available to me when I go to write my papers. In most departments two papers are due—one at Christmas break and one at the end of the year in May. Most visiting students d on't have to sit for exams in June, but are graded by merit of their two essays. EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM: The educational system here surprised me, but not because it is so difficult. What surprised me was that I only spend six hours per week in class. I have three classes this semester, which is the equivalent of 17 U.S. units. Most of my time is spent on independent reading. Since I am here studying British Literature, my classes require me to read at least one novel per week. The grading procedures are tough getting used to, too. There are no tests and* no quizzes in these classes. My grades will be based on a single essay ttfat is due on the last day of each class. Sometimes a group presentation or smaller essay will make up 20% of the grade, but that situation is very rare. Talking about breaks, we get a month off f or Christmas and a month off for Easter!!!! Can you imagine. That is a nice chunk of time. One drawback, though— papers are due as soon as you arrive back f rom the Christmas holiday. There is great deal to do and see, not only in Southern Wales but in all of Europe. Southern Wales boasts the largest number of Castles in Britain, and the most beautiful rugged coastlines. Wales also has two major national parks featuring green countryside and breathtaking mountain top views. You can get away for a weekend or longer if you wish. As a Southern California girl, I must say I have been adjusting fairly well to my new surroundings. I have even begun watching Rugby, which is a big pastime here in the pubs. Even if beer drinking is not your f avorite, hobby, there is an overwhelming number of activities and clubs to choose from. The Welsh people are incredibly nice, as are many of my fellow international students. There are visiting students f rom all over the world: Africa, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, India, and Japan. TRAVEL: Travelling around Europe is something I had always dreamed about but never had the opportunity to do. This program has given me a chance to see not only the major sights that everyone knows, but the less well-known places that are just as beautiful. My first day trip was to York, where I saw the moors and the ancient city that includes the oldest cathedral in Europe. Last weekend I took a 2-day trip to Liverpool f or my birthday. Although most of the tourists were there f or all the Beatles tours and museums, the city of Liverpool i s an architect's dream—it is a beautiful city. I have a f ew more trips planned, including visits to Edinburgh and Amsterdam. Many people have asked me why I came here. They cannot understand why I chose to study literature when I am a liberal studies major planning to be an elementary school teacher. Well, my answer is that since the educational systems are so different, I decided to study in my special field- Literature and Writing Studies. I chose England, not because I already knew the language, but because there is no better place to learn about British literature. Also, it was the least expensive program available to me. SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AMERICA: As soon as I stepped off the train and met the girl f rom the university who picked me up, I noticed she was eating a Snickers bar, drinking bottled water, and wearing a t-shirt printed with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" on it. When we got into the car, the radio was playing songs by all American bands. It was as if I had never l eft California. But eventually I saw the big differences and I 'm learning to live with them, Now t hat you've gotten into c ollege By Mike Spangler P RIDE STAFF W RITER Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (German Measles) are commonly known as childhood diseases that can be spread from person to person through the air. When viewed as a group these diseases can cause anything from a runny nose to meningitis to birth defects and, in rare instances, death. Literature from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services suggests children should get two doses of the MMR vaccine after they have reached one year of age. The doses need to be separated by at least 28 days but are preferably given three to five years apart. The official Vaccine Information Statement also states that people "who have ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to gelatin, the antibiotic neomycin, or a previous dose of MMR vaccine" should not get MMR vaccine. Students claiming exemption for medical reasons must provide a letter from a physician to SHS. Student exemption from immunization is also allowed for religious or personal beliefs. By choosing to sign the exemption document and removing their I-hold from their record, students acknowledge "that in case of an outbreak of measles [the student] may be temporarily excluded from classes."

The Great American Smokeout Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER Are you one of those students who can't wait for class to end so you can smoke a cigarette? Have you ever wished you could quit smoking? Those smokers who want to quit will find support on Thursday, November 18, when the Great American Smokeout takes place nationwide. The Great American Smokeout, sponsored by the American Cancer Society since 1977, is intended to help people to quit by encouraging them to stop smoking for just one day. The Peer Education and Support Program at CSUSM will stage an event at Founder's Plaza from 9:00am - 2:00pm which will include giveaways, smoking cessation ideas, and a video presentation. Although a great deal of support will be available for the Smokeout, CSUSM Health Services o ffers help to people who want to quit smoking at any time. Health Educator Susan Pool Carman offers suggestions to help people give up tobacco. In addition to using nicotine substitutes such as patches or gum to ease the transition, Carman suggests getting plenty of exercise and drinking lots of fluids. Finding something to keep the hands busy can help to break the habit, she said. Finally, forming a support system of non-smokers and temporarily avoiding people who smoke can help a person successfully quit smoking, she said. Smoking is actually on the rise among teenagers and young adults, according to the American Cancer Society, even though the evidence continues to mount that Carman suggests that choosing an optimum time to quit can increase chances for success. Trying to quit during times of extreme stress can be difficult, she said. Keep in mind, however, that "there's no perfect time to quit smoking." Choosing a time of transition, for example, when acquiring a new car or a new apartment, can actually help to break the habit, she said. "Sometimes a new environment can make a difference." ' Whether to quit gradually or abruptly depends on the smoker and the extent of the habit, Carman said. Those with heavy smoking habits may want to consider the gradual approach. For anyone planning to quit "cold turkey," Carman suggests selecting a "quit date" in advance and using the interim time to cut down and plan strategies to deal with the stress of giving up tobacco. smoking is a deadly habit. "People think they're immortal," said Lisa Kunschick, Chair of the Great American Smokeout event at CSUSM. Cigarettes kill more Americans than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, suicides, drugs, and fires combined, according to the ACS. Nevertheless, more than one mil- lion children will start smoking this year, and one-third of them will die as a direct result of their addiction. Besides the health risk, another incentive to quit smoking is the cost of cigarettes, which are becoming prohibitively expensive. The California Department of Health Services tries to encourage people to quit by showing them what they could buy if the money spent on cigarettes were available for other things. Going without cigarettes for one week will buy a new CD, and going without cigarettes f or one month will buy two concert tickets. A person who quits smoking for one year could purchase a trip for two to Hawaii! Many people begin smoking in the military, Carman said, or as the result of peer pressure from friends. Whether a person starts smoking in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, for whatever reason, no one plans on becoming addicted. Few people envision themselves the victim of a pack-aday habit, either. Carman shakes her head. "Somewhere between one and twenty cigarettes it becomes an addiction." For those people struggling with the desire to quit smoking, and for anyone dealing with the stress of upcoming finals and the holiday season, the Peer Education and Support Program is presenting a workshop on stress management called " Don't Let Your Holidays Be a Turkey." The workshop takes place on Monday, November 22 f rom Noon 1:00pm in UH 237. In addition to offering techniques f or stress management and relaxation, refreshments will be served, and there will be a drawing to win a gift certificate for a f ree turkey dinner or other groceries. Students can enter the drawing during the Great American Smokeout event or at the workshop. Another opportunity for relaxation and stress relief exists at Student Health Services. The "Alpha Chair" is a comfortable egg-shaped chair in a private room where the student can view relaxing videos or listen to music. The Alpha Chair is available by appointment only - call 750-4910 to schedule. �SENATE Cont.

Pain, fear and love filled my whole being for this cousin who had endured, so much suffering in the past year. During her short visit, she taught me a new version of Canasta and we laughed and reminisced about all the good times we had shared. We looked at family pictures and reconstructed the day and where the photo was taken. We remembered the family reunions when her parents and all of the numerous aunts and uncles were still alive. I cooked my favorite recipes for her but she would take a few bites and say she couldn't eat anymore. She lived on cans of a high protein, whole food drink. She rested several times a day. I gave her my 'positive thinking bear' that would say "I love you" and "You are a good person" when she pushed a button in its back. I kept my bedroom door open at night so I could s ee her across the hallway. One night I saw her hold the bear up and I heard her say, "I love you, too." Soon it was time for her to f ly to Phoenix to visit her two sisters. She told me that she still had hope f or recovery, but if the cancer returned, she would not go through any more treatment. She told me, "Everything is in order. I 'm ready, June." The cancer did return and she passed away several months later. There are times when I come across a great recipe and think, " I'll send this to Dode." She loved to cook and eat. She was a God-fearing woman who loved life, but she also loved smoking. She paid for that love with her life. I miss you, Dode. If you' ve thought about giving up cigarettes, please try it today. It won't be easy, but the reward will be great. MERINO Cont.

The ceremony consisted of nearly a dozen Cal State San Marcos active duty Marines in Dress Blues. The ceremony included a speech from the master of ceremonies, Staff Sgt. Karin Reyes, a recital of a speech from President G.W. Bush, a color guard ceremony, and a cake cutting for the Marine Corps birthday, which was Nov. 10.

Hosted at the Oceanside Elks Lodge 1561, the observance was sponsored by the Combined Veterans and Fraternal Organizations of North County, in the Tri-Cities area, welcoming local political and military personnel as honorable guests to thank veterans for their service, commitment and role in helping the next generation understand why our nation celebrates this national holiday. The Marine Corps Junior ROTC Cadets from El Camino High School opened the ceremony with presentation of the colors, including the National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance.

"It's for the youth too," noted Bob Neal, exalted ruler of the Oceanside Elks Lodge, about the reasons behind why we celebrate Veterans Day. "They're the future, and why we do this."* City councilman, Rocky Chavez, former Marine Corps colonel, speaking on behalf of Oceanside Major Jim Wood, offered a brief speech commenting how "the best thing about Oceanside is our relationship with the military. Not just the Marine Corps, but all services. Veterans fight for freedom not just for our nation, but for all nations." Congressman Darrell Issa, a key speaker at the ceremony, highlighted the expanding benefits for veterans and focused on the leadership experience that the military gives service men and women. A former United See CELEBRATION, page 3 Successful Student See Features PAGE 4 States Army Captain, Issa credited his military experience as the foundation for his leadership capabilities. "We are trained to be leaders. The military taught us leadership," Issa said proudly. "I've carried with me the training to be a leader.

The teddy bear delivery starts on Dec. 13 in Balboa Park where representatives from each participating police department will speak at a press conference about the results of the event. These officers will then take part in a motorcade from Balboa Park to Children's Hospital located in the Kearny Mesa area of San Diego County. Since this is the season for multiple donation drives, and only our campus' second year of involvement, the Teddy Bear Drive could end up to be less publicized. "Students can get involved by getting the word out," said Panza, about ways that students can participate beyond just donating teddy bears. All donated bears must be in new condition; therefore, the drive cannot accept hand-me-downs as to comply with Children's Hospital's policies for infection control. Participants may also donate money, making checks payable to Children's Hospital. "It is with great respect and with a heavy heart," we pay respect, said Reyes about the tribute for those who served and those who've died. Veterans Day began in 1919 as Armistice Day attributing to the cease fire from World War L President Wilson proclaimed that Nov. 11 will be set aside to remember all of those who have served. President Eisenhower changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954 in order to pay tribute to all veterans of all wars. A speech by President George G.W. Bush was read by Staff Sgt. Louis Caliendo. The speech urged all Americans to recognize Nov. 6 through Nov. 12 as "National Veterans Week" and called on Americans to participate in patriotic activities. Bush's speech, read by Caliendo, also paid tribute to those who are serving overseas at this time. The ceremony also recognized the 230th birthday of the Marine Corps.

President, Shelly Monroe, "there has never been an off-campus garage/bake sale done by any student organization. I felt it was important to get the community involved and recognize that Cal State has a Child Care facility while fundraising all in one. Our student organization is different because we deal with children and parents. Not many people know that Cal State offers childcare to students at a more reduced rate than all the surrounding centers. Getting the community involved will make this event successful." In-kind donations are needed for the garage sale that are in good condition like clothes, dishes, and small furniture. Pick-ups are available till Nov. 18. There are two drop-off locations on campus in the Student Life and Leadership Office Craven 4116, and the ASI Office located in the Commons Building. Volunteers are also needed to help price items on Nov. 18, and to set up, sell and sweep up on the day of the sale, Nov. 19. The ASI Early Learning Center is a childcare facility run by ASI that offers lower tuition to students and faculty of the university. It is offered to the community as well, but students and faculty have priority. Students benefit from the center because it allows them to go to school and have lower cost childcare to help them complete their degree. It offers childcare to ages 2-4 years old and offers CLASSIFIEDS a camp in the summertime when the university is closed. ASI Early Learning Center is a non-profit organization, which means it relies on the P. A.T. club to help fundraise for any extra items not in the budget. Last spring, P.A.T. members raised funds through events such as a fashion show where the young children were dressed up according to themes. However, funds and in-kind donations are still needed. One of the biggest expenses they are saving up for is a childcare van. Their wish list also includes: outside play equipment, shade equipment, bicycles, balls, and computers. Volunteers are always needed to help assist with the children, and act as drivers to and from the Center. For any information on this event, donations and/or volunteering, please contact: Shelly Monroe, Parent and Teacher president at monro011@csusm. edu or 760-481-8240. CELEBRATION, from page 1 to support, defend and serve our nation. "Whether we are Republicans or Democrats, we are all veterans," said Issa. "Politics end when our nation needs us. There are no political stripes in the service." Following Issa's speech, Assemblyman Mark Wyland, for the 74th District, shared some inspirational thoughts about his feelings toward the role Veterans have in securing our nation's freedom. "This country has more freedom, more hope, and more opportunity than any other in history," said Wyland. "We may be imperfect, but now we are trying to bring these freedoms to another part of the world." Lt. Colonel Brian Kerl, of the United States Marine Corps, captured much attention in the opening of his speech when he joked about how "others (Chavez and Issa) may have excused themselves" due to other engagements, however; "the Marines are still here!" His comment was well received with laughter and applause. Emphasizing and reporting on current active duty veteran efforts, Kerl detailed the training procedures implemented at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in Photo courtesy of Robert L. Watson Mr. and Mrs. Watson in 1943, after his draft into the Navy. San Diego. "Our commitment to one another remains unquestionable," said Kerl. "We are proud to have served in difficult circumstances. And thank you for your service to this great nation." In an effort to help local youths develop a positive sense of patriotism, the Combined Veterans and Fraternal Organizations of North County sponsored an essay contest "to make them aware about what Veterans Day is, and why those wars were fought to maintain our nation's freedom," said retired Marine Corps Captain, Donald Greenlaw. Chosen winners were awarded at the end of the ceremony. Three winners were selected from each participating school, awarding first place writers with a $100 bond, and second and third place winners with $50 bonds each. Six school divisions participated in the contest including: Faith Lutheran, Martin Luther King Elementary, Roosevelt Middle, Oceanside High, El Camino High and one recipient f rom the homeschool division. "It was a good experience for everyone involved" mentioned Jeanne Evans, CVFO co-chairperson, who congratulated the students on their wonderful words of inspiration. Eight students were present at the ceremony and honored with a certificate of excellence. In closing remarks, Rev. Steve Chappell offered a prayer for departed veterans, encouraging all attendees to keep in mind the "memory of all military members who have given their lives for us all. May they rest in peace.

Have you ever watched late night television and sat mesmerized as people retell their get rich quick tricks? They promise to send you a six disc set with all their instructions so you can do it too! And if you act now, they will throw in a free solar powered pocket financial calculator; all for three easy payments of only $33.33, plus shipping of course. Ever walked through a store's magazine and newspaper racks? The Wall Street Journal, Baron's, Kiplinger's, Smart Money, Forbes, Financial Times, and then of course the personal finance articles in magazines like Mens' Health, Cosmopolitan, and the thousands of other monthly publications, all offer up their words of wisdom on the issue that hits home every time: money, dinero, cash, bread, dough, cake, moola, etc... People are hungry for the tidbits of information that will set us free and let us retire early in a small Italian villa. Unfortunately, college graduates tend to leave their institutions of higher learning with a degree in whatever, a mountain of debt, and no real knowledge of how to get out of the hole. We put our faith in walking with our class on graduation day and then walking into our new office the next week. After all, you posted your resume on Monster and this new job you know you are going to get will finally pay enough money for you to live comfortably, pay off all your debt, retire early, and live happily ever after, right? Maybe, but I would not count on it. A friend of mine, a very intelligent guy with a degree in business management emphasizing industrial psychology from the highly regarded Pepperdine University, looked for three months to find a job only to be offered a $32,000 a year job as a very low man on the corporate totem pole. With that, he could live in an apartment with at least one roommate, drive the same car he drove through college, and maybe be able to save a little money at the end of the month. Unfortunately, his student loan debt exceeds $30,000 and any leftover money goes right into paying that off. Do not count on a well paying job straight out of college. Do not rack up the student loan debt (not too much anyway), credit card debt, auto loan debt, home mortgage debt, and any other kind of debt while hoping to make $70,000 a year, when you finally escape the college classroom and go out into the "real world." Instead, start your personal finance education now and start planning today. This winter break, go to a bookstore and find a book (that you will need to read) on personal finance. This column will attempt to tackle a lot of the issues facing college kids today with their finances. We will discuss important topics such as your FICO score, how to consolidate and eliminate debt, how to make a big ticket purchase like a car or a home, and we will try to give you the basics, like creating a budget, how much credit one should have, which kind of credit cards to use, and how to make the most of the money you do have. Hopefully, this will give you a better understanding of your personal finances. 5 t í you mom Bothered 6y massive or 6y a änßCe death on the Sat ñon teCeviswn side ii^asigtt iiiittiiilB-m^ f'M w e've "seefdecmfwh ° lrea in WmS i ovfes so •, it's not as^monaL When if's onWmM of §e road, it:) becdKBmnme IBB ¡jjlpsh r eofcfic,* • . 1 1 it < 5 ,, - ^' ^ <' V fllllll fS"On wiliiiiiii i E .

SIMON Pride Staff Writer LTWR graduate Robert Woerheide walked in May of 04, but not before establishing an especially sleek and professional online art magazine "Perigee", as seen through www.perigee-art. com. Directly after graduating from high school in '96, Woerheide attended Virginia Tech as a physics major. He didn't stay long, however, before moving out to San Diego. A fter some time working retail, and some more resuming undergraduate credits at Mesa College, he came to CSUSM and all it had to offer an aspiring writer. During one of Woerhide's campus visits an ensuing debate imitated conversation and conversation in turn imitated interview as Pride set one wordsmith editor against another. What do you recall about the education you received here at that time, do any teachers stand out, any program you found especially good or bad? I think I had a really good experience with the LTWR department. Brandon Cesmat, he was instrumental in helping me to find my voice as a poet. I never considered myself a poet, but he guided me through the process. And certainly professor Susan Fellows was critical in my development as a writer, and she stood out in my experiences. Newman and Yuan as well. It seems you remember more the professors themselves rather than any kind of structure within the college, the teacher more than the class. Yeah, I think so. Yes. You said that you transferred from Science into Literature. Have you talked with other people who have made what seems like such a drastic change? No, not really. I always hear stories of people 'changing their majors' and that sort of thing. When I went, I wanted to study Astrophysics and the math just killed me. So, in my first semester, I switched over to English, so it was a quick thing. I had an opportunity to go to the University of Iowa, and I.. .sorta wish I had, maybe. It's certainly more of an English-oriented school but my experiences at Virginia Tech instilled the seed for the online magazine, Many students might be in a similar situation, pursuing something in the more tangible sciences, where the arithmetic might seem a real drudgery, do you think it's a mater of whether you're 'capable' or more a matter of...'compatibility'? And if you'd had more compatibility might it have put you on an entirely different path, might you have continued with writing but in a lesser capacity? I think I would have eventually gone back to English, to writing; it was my passion since I was 1314 years old. I got fired up about astrophysics, but I have a feeling I was meant to be a writer is some form, or an editor.4 Working with words'; I think I would have eventually swung back to that. <?bc.

So when people make the decision it should have more to do with the more driving passion rather than what comes easiest, necessarily? I would say, yes. Certainly speaking for myself, I'm a passionate person, so it would make sense that I would be driven more by passion. Some people are more driven by wanting a better life for their family which might lead them to more profitable endeavors than writing, but for me I'd definitely be inclined to follow my passion. That brings us to a larger, and hopefully deeper question, in the sense that often people in the arts, particularly in literature, are viewed as 'reclusive' or otherwise selfish people, and yet so often explain their work in terms of how it can help other people. Do you think it's difficult to reconcile these two? No, I don't think it's difficult to reconcile them. Art needs to be an intimate and often private 'act'. Yet, in the end, I think art achieves what it needs to achieve by being sent to a broader audience, by engaging with the world. h ttp://www.perigee-art.com See INTERVIEW, page 6 FIVE 39Days FIVE I f kff T a i l S BUY 1 MYSTIC TAN GET 1 FREE I Unliminted Level 1 f MYSTIC TANS o r j Premium Beds ULTRA TANS pif $ 2 5 j p#$3§ 1 p#l$49 G o fcrail CUM od SS G o for ai CUM od SS fealty! < « "stuti^wdfceuityf M ?

There are many theories to explain this, but how would That's a legitimate concern. I think that's one of the benefits of the internet, though, that it's very democratic in that respect. If you can get your work published, more power to you. I think there's enough space to accommodate that at this point. I suppose we'll eventually see that chafe removed, the lesser works will fall by the wayside. As online publication develops word will spread as with anything else in life. It seems you're hoping for a natural process, that the hacks will lose interest, and yet so often we see that the big jobs in television and cinema are often going to the 'hacks'. How do you reconcile this? That's easy for me to answer: I think that in the modern world nice guys finish last, and I think it's a shame. I mean nice as in someone who has artistic integrity, who takes the long road. That's not to say that if you work for CNN you're a worthless human being, but in general I think the things that are rewarded in our modern system aren't necessarily conducive to good writing, to a sense of artistic integrity (not to use that term again). That's what I mean by nice guys finish last.

Can you blame the system when the system is designed to serve the masses while the masses generally don't become good writers? I think there is definitely a level of personal responsibility, and with writers, with all artists in general, you're perhaps more likely to find people who aren't so concerned with publishing something to further a career as with simply writing a good sentence. And you'll find this in otherfieldsas well. Do you think there's anything to be done, whether in large classes or one on one, to 'make' good writers, and if not do you think maybe teachers should focus instead on making more voracious readers? I think both go hand in hand; you have to be a voracious reader to be a good writer. Don't you think, though, with regards to what you said earlier about too many writers... Yeah, if you have to pick one or the other, pick reading, we need more readers, then maybe, once they've read a heck of a lot, maybe they can become good writers, but in the meantime definitely pick reading.

But in terms of how to discern between worthy and unworthy submissions? Online publications are still fairly new, so I've simply had to do what makes sense to me and to the other editors. We have to trust our own sense for that but also have to be objective at the same time. In that sense we don't really have much in terms of 'models' to go off of, we're really just kind of doing what makes sense from an artistic standpoint. Being able to use your own taste and standards is something that a lot of people in the publishing and entertainment industry have as the highest goal Do you think that's a luxury that only obscure or independent publishers can afford, or is it a model that maybe the bigger distributors should follow more often? printing costs, that there will be so many independent publishers that writing will become a hobby simply because there is literally NO money to be made? Or is there a model or mission statement that the literati in all stations and fields could encourage to make writing a more lucrative pursuit? Tuesday, November 15, 2005 Perhaps. I think that's a legitimate concern, monetary concerns are part of the world, and they can be beneficial to the artistic process, and perhaps those that can't afford to be publishing shouldn't be publishing.

They don't know if they are a good or bad team. Do bad teams lose the close games or do good teams stay in contention until the last minute of the game. I guess it depends if you are a half full or half empty kind of person. Lucky for you Chargers fans, I am a half full kind of guy. If you play Monday morning quarterback like me, then you realize that the Chargers should be undefeated at this point, but they're actually 5-4. With those four losses coming by a total of 12 points, the Chargers have made their route to the playoffs much tougher. I think it is going to take 10 wins to make the playoffs, which mean the Chargers need to win five out of the final seven games. As hard as that may sound, I see it happening. The next game is against the Bills at home. That is win number six, because the Bills really only have one offensive threat in Willis McGahee, their running back, and the Chargers are superb at stopping the run. The following week the Chargers travel to Washington to take on the Redskins. I think that game is a toss up against a much improved Redskins team, but since it is in Washington I will give it to the Redskins. After the Redskins, the Raiders come to town for a Sunday Night Football match-up. The Chargers will easily take that game for win number seven, because the Raiders couldn't stop most Pop Warner teams from scoring.

Secondly, Drew Brees needs to call some audibles at the line. Since Marty Schottenheimer and Cameron are more conservative than President Bush, Brees needs to offset his coaches by calling his own plays at the line. Finally, the Chargers need LT to touch the ball at least 25 times per game. I don't care if LT runs the ball, is thrown to, passes it, or kicks it; he is going to find a way to get into the end zone. If those three things don't happen over the next seven games, then the Chargers will be sitting at home watching the Colts and Panthers work their way to the super bowl.

I was unable to attend this year, but last year I was able to hear Carol Leigh (Sluts Unite speaker) and I learned a great deal about many issues surrounding sex workers and I was in no way as you suggested influenced to become one myself. Second, just to clarify, ASI money is not state money it is student fee money. ASI events are not Visit 1 11 Pride online a t funded by tax dollars, or the public as, you had claimed in your article. Lastly, why the influence of censorship, just because the issue is not your own personal favorite? Do you really mean for ASI to censor speakers simply because they are controversial? We are in college! Why are students not encouraged and given the credibility to think critically and make decisions for themselves by being actively engaged in ALL sorts of classes, topics, conversations, and events? Do you really think that women are going to "engage in random sexual acts" because of a speaker? Carol Leigh does not share her experience to influence students to become sex workers. Had you attended the event you may have had these facts. I find your lack of faith in students and especially women (since that is where most of your comments were directed) very disheartening. When our constitutional right to freedom of speech has been in jeopardy several times the last few years, such as the attempted censorship of Michael Moore and the fight against Senator Morrow's SB5, I would hope that students would defend their right to academic freedom and encourage each other to critically think about issues. This does not mean agree or disagree with them but to have the freedom , to make that choice on their own! Sometimes when we step outside our own comfort box, we learn the most. I recommend this sort of engagement to your opposition suggesting that you have all the answers.

On Tuesday, the folks of White Settlement, Texas, voted not to rename the city to West Settlement, Texas.

I would reference the residents of White Settlement, and argue that city names that merely reflect an area's history are cool. And then we'd have Brown Settlement, CA.

Texas Hold'Em is the latest craze in poker, especially on college campuses, due to the popularity of TV shows covering poker tournaments, like the World Series of Poker and Celebrity Poker. In Texas Hold'Em, each player is dealt two cards face down, which is followed by the first round of betting. A fter the dealer "burns" a card, a "flop" of three cards is turned face up on the table. The dealer then reveal the fourth andfifthcards known as the " turn" and the "river", with a round of betting and folding in between each.

According to a press release, Stone CEO Greg Koch said, "Stone fans will find the quality and character of our menu to match that of our beers, and for those that are not fully up to speed on just what that means, it means that people can expect to find a lot of quality and a lot of character." Koch says this will be reflected in a menu that will lean heavily towards items that are locally fresh and naturally raised, tossed liberally with spices, unique sauces and influences from around the world. Stone Brewing Co. was started in 1996 by two beer lovers, Greg Koch and Steve Wagner. The two met up after a class at UC Davis entitled "Sensory Evaluation of Beer." They found out that they had similar ideas in brewing and both shared the same passion for beer. After keeping in touch for a few years and brainstorming ideas for opening their own brewery, they made it a reality. The San Diego Union Tribune said "Calling Koch and Wagner beer experts may be an understatement." With the incredible success the brewery has had in the past nine years, this statement is undoubtedly true. While the new brewery is being built, tours and beer tasting are Images courtesy ofwww.stonebrew.com available at the San Marcos locaruns from the restaurant through a glass wall and into the beer garden outside.

In fact, she one day hopes to be the first woman president. "My favorite song is 'First Woman President' because it's the first song I ever wrote, during one of my CSUSM lectures. And, it's what I want to be, the first woman president, it embodies who I am," said Liberty. She has two main sources of inspirationr the inequalities she sees in the world and other artists that she respects. Her biggest musical influences are Missy Elliot and Nas. She is inspired by Missy Elliot because "She helps new artists. The media shunned her because of her weight, but she went against that. It's what I want to do. I'm not perfect, I'm not what society sees as beautiful, but I'm happy and I wouldn't change a thing," said Liberty. She respects Nas because he stays true to himself and his fans. "He doesn't have to sell out to gain a great audience. He's unique and I admire that. He hasn't gone down to anyone else's level; they all try to rise to his. He's on top of his game," said Liberty. At the end of Miz Liberty's last show, she went up on stage and battled a black, male rapper. A female audience member standing next to me turned to me and said, "Damn, that girl has guts.

Koenig No amount of protests against Proposition 187 could stop its passage by voters Nov. 8. As of last week, statewide voter support of the initiative was 63 percent, with 37 percent voting no, according to^newspaper reports. Protests against t he measure were intense state-wide, including a protest march that occurred in San Marcos Nov. 2. The march started at Palomar College and made stops at Cal State San Marcos and the San Marcos city hall. One protester was injured when she was hit by a car, and a bystander stopped an American flag from being burned. The issue caught fire at the same time as a controversy concerning reported comments by state Sen. William Craven (R-Oceanside) occurred at CSUSM, in which the San Diego Union-Tribune quoted the senator as saying t hat Latinos should carry identification cards to prove citizenship. Incumbent Craven won his seat again Nov. 8, receiving 64 percent of t he vote according to the office of the San Diego County Registrar of Voters. Now t hat the initiative has passed, and now that Craven will continue to serve his local district, CSUSM leaders are looking to the future. "It's like crying over spilled milk. It's done, and I can't change the will of the See PASSAGE, page 2 Students from across north San Diego County attended an anti-Proposition 187 protest before the election. The procession began at Palomar College, and from there marched to San Marcos City Hall and then to Cal State San Marcos. The protest, like many others like it across the state, did not sway voters from supporting the measure. Photo by Roman S . Koenig C SUSM student government election produces dismal returns Associated Students (AS) President Michelle Sadova expressed disappointment over voting figures for an on-campus special election held Oct. 17 and 18, in which only 5 percent of the eligible student population cast ballots. "It does alarm me," she said Nov. 15. "We're such a small campus you'd think it would matter more.... It's just apathy. That's the bottom line." Figures released by the Student Activities Office showed t hat for the College of Arts and Sciences, out of 1,672 eligible voters only 86 voted — 5 percent, according to Gezai Berhane, student activities adviser. For the College of Business Administration, 6 percent of eligible voters (37) turned out for the election out of 615 total. For post-baccalaureate students, 16 percent voted — six voters out of 41 who were eligible. For the College of Education, only one student voted out of 347 eligible voters, .3 percent. "That was disastrous," said Berhane concerning the low figure. The 5 percent across-the-board turnout is "not bad compared to some other institutions where they have a turnout of 2 or 3 percent," however. Sadova said it bothered her t hat students often come to the AS to talk about campus issues but never vote when given the chance. She said that pressing course work could be a reason for the low number of voters, however. "I think ofcourse we could do more," Sadova said o fthe AS's efforts to get the word out to vote. Currently, the AS is working with campus officials to erect a central posting area where information can be more easily obtained. The AS recently installed a posting area in the Commons building study lounge, she said. "These things are happening," she added. "It just takes time" to get momentum going to t he projects done. In t he election, Kris Cristensen and Edward Calvillo were elected to serve as postbaccalaureate representatives to the AS council. Kimberly Ambriz was elected as undergraduate representative. A vote to ratify AS bylaws also passed 89 percent to 11 percent. ft �2 THE PRIDE NEWS Wednesday, November 1 6,1994 P ASSAGE, Clifford Briggs named service learning director continued from front page Senate. "We had Troject Wetback' in the 1950s. I gave t hat project an 'F.' Now we have come up with a solution which is only marginally more civilized t han what we did 40-plus years ago. I give 187 a 'DI guess I should be happy we are making progress." "The passage of Proposition 187 is an attempt to shift the blame of an economic recession onto t he backs of immigrant workers, specifically L atino i mmigrants," added Dr. Marcos Martinez, a visual and performing a rts faculty member. "(It) reflects an attempt to create an available target for frustration and anger among t he population of California and to compound confusion about how our economy functions. ... The problem with its enforcement is t hat it gives license to resentment and racism towards Latinos in generaL Take t he shooting of Mexican workers last week i n Rancho Penasquitos by an angry white male. If people choose to h ate t hat will have its consequences." Associated Students (AS) President Michelle Sadova said she believed the vote in support ofProposition ,187 indicated the inability of people to adequately address t he problems of immigration. "I was, and am, against Proposition 187 because it enforces t he idea t hat there is a segment of our population which is not entitled t o b asic : h uman r ights, a nd whether you agree or disagree t hat education is a basic human right, t he underlining issue is t hat of rights," she said. "Our narcissistic tendencies will casually undermine the rights of others, and voting for Proposition 187 did j ust this. What will happen from here? I can't say, and (I) try not to specu- late. I tend to think t hat it will only cause more tension than ever before as well as a separation of t he races." As for t he issue of removing Sen. Craven's name from the campus building t hat bears i t, opinions are still split. In fact, the Associated Students council reversed a previous decision on the issue Nov. 11. Originally, the council voted not to support the Academic Senate's call for his name's removal, b ut they chose to support t he Academic Senate in a 5-3 vote a fter a number of students asked t hat t he issue be looked at again, explained AS President Sadova. University President Stacy said his support of Craven has not changed, however. "Nothing's changed. It continues to be a m atter t hat has been very punishing to the people on campus and to t he senator," he said. "We have a great deal of pain flowing. ... It seemed to me that t he proposed cure was out of sync with t he problem." The University Council, a body made up of local community members that acts in lieu of t he CSU Board of Trustees, voted to support Craven as well, according to Stacy. "It is u nfortunate t hat one of our (CSUSM's) staunchest supporters in Sacramento and a pillar of this community would say something t hat could so easily be interpreted as blatantly racist," countered Martinez. "After these statements were made I am left with t he impression t hat he does not w ant t o r epresent Latino people in his district." Diehr simply stated t hat the next step is u p to Craven.

The conference will focus on the sweeping changes that are transforming the social geography of North America, with particular emphasis on the United States-Mexico border region. Conference participants will present and discuss their research in pairs — one scholar will focus on Mexico, the other on the United States. This parallel format is intended to reflect the parallel interaction that occurs with international migration. Noted American and Mexican scholars will address such general themes as growth and crisis in Mexico and the United States, immigration and emigration, and the transformation of local economies and communities. Specific topics include "Immigrants as Benefactors and Scapegoats in California's Cycles of Growth," "The Changing Context ofMexican Immigration to the United States," "NAFTA and Mexican Migration to the United States," "Immigrants in High Tech Economy: an Ethnographic Study of a Mexican Enclave in San Jose" and "Americans View Their Immigration: Past, Present and Future." All papers submitted at the conference will appear in a bilingual collection to be published in early 1995. Also included in the conference is an art exhibit and entertainment by a Mexteco-Zapoteca dance group. The conference is open to the public. Fees range from $2 for students to $15 for general admission. Fee waivers are available for non-profit community service organizations. For registration forms or further information, call 752-4017.

Dean Twenty participants took part in the first Intensive Spanish Weekend recently hosted by the Cal State San Marcos College of Arts & Sciences/Program in Foreign Languages under the direction of professors Dr. Francisco Martin and Dr. Darci Strother. The objective of the weekend was to provide participants with an affordable opportunity to learn and experience Spanish full-time for the duration of the weekend. From the time participants arrived on Friday to the time they left on Sunday, they were expected to speak only Spanish. Unlike similar programs, this program was held locally at the San Clemente Youth Hostel, thereby eliminating costly travel time and expenses. The accommodations included two large sleeping areas with bunk beds along with large dining and living : areas*, The cost of the weekend was $60, which included meals and accommodations. Activities of the weekend included music, dancing, games, discussion groups, Spanish workshops and participant presentations. At the San Clemente beach, frisbee, a water balloon catch and other activities were held along with a bonfire and shish kebab. Participants also hat the option to attend Spanish mass at a local church. Photo courtesy of Matthew J. Dean Students involved in Cal State San Marcos's first Intensive Spanish Weekend participate in a balloon toss at San Clemente beach. Students who took part in the weekend gave special recognition to Martin and Strother for the success of the program. "The intensive Spanish weekend was fantastic," noted student Patricia Hubbs. "Professor Martin and Professor Strother were extremely well-organized and worked very hard. There was a wonderful combination of work and play." "Professor Martin and Professor Strother did an outstanding job," added Cheryl Viertel, another participant. "Not only was the weekend highly organized and tremendously helpful with my com- munication skills, it wasjust plain fun." Each participant received a certificate of completion from the professors at the end of the weekend. "The weekend was great. We all had fun cooking, playing games and working together," said Cori Gustine. "I learned a lot and look forward to the next one."

System-wide enrollment encouraging California State University (CSU) officials have expressed optimism that they can come close to meeting their goal ofincreasing enrollment by 2,500 full-time equivalent students (FTES) for the year, after fall figures showed a stabilization of the system's enrollment picture for thefirsttime since massive budget reductions began in 1991. Overall, total enrollment for t he system stands at 319,394, down from 325,639 (1.9 percent) in fall 1993. Total FTES for the system stands at 244,812, down from 247,513 (1.1 percent) last fall. The major portion of the decline — over 70 percent — occurred at Cal State Northridge, which is still attempting to recover from January's devastating e arthquake. Fall FTES, with Northridge excluded, is down by 802 (.3 percent). "Although enrollment is down very slightly, the patterns of enrollment reveal a healthier bal- ance between enteringand graduating classes. We expect CSU campuses will be in a strong position for spring admissions," said Executive Vice Chancellor Molly Corbett Broad. Several campuses showed notable increases over fall 1993: San Francisco State (up 507 FTES), Cal State Los Angeles (up 456 FTES), San Diego State (up 400 FTES) and Cal State San Marcos (up 314 FTES). Particularly good news in the enrollment picture is t hat for the first time since fall 1988, the CSU system enrolled a first-time freshmen class that was larger than the previous fall's. The fall 1994 CSU first-time freshman class should finalize its count at j ust over 25,000, some 2,000 to 3,000 more students than fall 1993 figures. This year 43,000 s tudents graduated in the spring and summer (representing approximately 14 percent of all the students enrolled last spring). This is the largest percentage of spring semester students to graduate in some time, and more than campuses had originally anticipated. This made room to open CSU doors to more Californians for fall 1994. In addition to the increase in first-time freshmen, just under 37,000 new undergraduate transfers enrolled, some 1,000 more than in fall 1993. "We have accomplished our goals for readjusting enrollment in light of the drastic budget cuts we sustained and are now recovering our momentum," added Broad. "We are optimistic about our ability to serve qualified applicants to the CSU. We are offering more classes and students are responding and graduating. That should signal good news for potential students, their families and ultimately the state's employers, since the CSU is the major provider of the state's college-educated work force." �4 THE PRIDE C AMPUS NETWORK Wednesday, November 16y 1994 Some hints on how to look for a job Left toright:New Alpha Xi Delta members Gina Bellandi, Pamela Szot, Maureen Foster and Talitha Ward. Alpha Xi Delta colonizes CSUSM The founding members of the Cal State San Marcos colony of Alpha Xi Delta (a national women's sorority) were officially pledged into the national organization Nov. 5. On campus, t he members were formerly known as Key College Opportunities. Collegiate members from the Alpha Xi Delta chapter at Cal State Northridge were present along with alumnae from the North County Alumnae Association. The colony will be officially installed as a chapter early next semester. The first official function of the CSUSM colony was National Philanthropy Day held on Nov. 15. Alpha Xi Delta's national Each year hundreds of articles are written expressing t he seriousness and the reality of job availability to college graduates, such as "Just How Welcome is the Job Market to College Grads?" in BusinessWeek magazine (Koretz, Nov. 9,1992) or "More College Graduates Maybe Chasing Fewer Jobs" in the Occupational Outlook Quarterly (Shelley, summer 1992). These articles help validate the fact t hat having a degree does not guarantee employment. So what can you do to increase your chances for success in the job search process? Many college students think about their ideal job, but only a few students know how to successfully look for one. Listed below are a few helpful hints for obtaining t hat ideal job. •Begin your job search three to six months in sfdvance or up to 12 months for government jobs. • Know yourself and your options. How does your education and/or experience qualify you for t he job? •Know what is important to you, like the type of work, your responsibilities, the work environment, your title, money, security, work schedule, advancement, opportunities, interaction with others, etc. • Do your homework. How much do you know about t he position and/or the company where you are applying? Find out as much as possible through research and networking. • Know your resources to find a job. The Career Center, library, publications, or networking with faculty, professors, family and friends are options. • Prepare your paperwork. Create a targeted resumS, cover letter, portfolio and contact references. Many of t he above suggestions seem r ather simple, but they can prove to be helpful. To improve on your success in finding ajob, stop by t he Career Center and talk to one of t he counselors. The Career Center is a valuable resource and services are free to enrolled students.

In 1992, the voters elected Bill Clinton president, on t he promise t hat he would bring change. Two years later, after realizing t hat his was not t he kind of change they wanted, t he people then overhauled t he Congress, whose House had been Democrat occupied since 1954, and whose Senate had been controlled by said party for 48 of t he last 60 years. This time around, t he voters wanted change from t he long-time one party domination, so they went out and got it; and in doing so, they took some pretty big names down with them: potential Democratic Senate leader Jim Sasser, governors M ario Cuomo a nd Ann Richards, House Speaker Tom Foley, former Ways and Means Chairman Dan Rostenkowski, and Mike Synar, who lost in the primary. When certain politicians let it be known t hat they were too corrupt for their own good, they got the boot. Rostenkowski, seekinghis 19th term, was up to his neck in t he House bank scandal, and had taken tax dollars for personal needs, was promptly removed from office by his constituents. Foley's state, Washington, had put term limits on him in 1992. In the height of arrogance, he sued his own bosses over this. So for the first time since 1860, a sitting House Speaker was voted out of office. So much for term limits. At a town hall meeting in his Oklahoma district a few months ago, Synar actually told his constituents, "You just don't get it," to which someone in the audience replied, "No, you don't get it." GREG HOADLEY He then lost his primary to a 71-year old, whose campaign headquarters were in his basement. So, politically speaking, these recent elections could not have gone more perfectly for the GOP, who didn't lose a single gubernatorial or congressional incumbent. They also won the Senate without the help of their two most controversial candidates, Michael Huffington and Oliver North. Granted, both cam very close to winning, but in our system, it's winner take all, so close doesn't count. To add icing to t he cake of new majority leader Bob Dole, t he conservative Democrat Richard Shelby switched parties. This is fitting for Shelby, who voted t he Republican line more often anyway. It was becoming too apparent to him t hat the Democrats didn't have a place for him in their party. Critics of t he Republicans will say t hat they promised too much to get elected (i.e., balance t he budget, but raise military spending and cut taxes). So what should we do about this? Well, over the next two years, let's hold the members of t he Republican controlled Congress' feet to t he fire, but at the same time give them the benefit of the doubt. If they don't produce, they they should probably get the boot we just gave the Democrats. This will show our government, once again, who really owns the country.

Dear Editor: In my opinion,San Diego's trash problem is a terrible crisis and to think that any landfill project could do more than prolong the inevitable dilemma is folly. The Campo Band of Mission Indians cannot help San Diego citizens, though their desire to do so is meritorious. We residents of San Diego, and many other quickly growing communities like our own, must change the very way t hat we view "waste." We need to implement new programs t hat will treat our waste so t hat it may be reduced, reused and recycled and we must not fall into the t rap of calling upon our kind neighbors to store our garbage on their already diminished lands. Truly, I wonder at t he wisdom of t he tribal elders t hat would invite San Diego County waste management crews to allow the tidal wave of our garbage to flood onto their reservation. Haven't t he Federal and State governments taken enough from t he tribes; must we reduce their remaining lands to trash heaps as well? I fear for the young of this tribe. What will happen when San Diego's waste seeps into their drinking water? Will this landfill amount to another gift of pestilent blankets t hat we use to further weaken t he tribes? Their brochure promises me t hat my joining with will not cost me a thing; I PUBLIC FORUM respond, with my belief, t hat it would cost the tribe their health and would cost me my good conscience. As to your argument t hat this landfill will assure the tribe jobs and financial stability, I would invite you and your tribe to look to the works of your brothers and sisters who enjoy the receipts of their casinos. I encourage you to use your guile to secure a future for your children and their children rather t han expending your last and finest resource, t he Earth, in a gamble t hat will, most likely, end in the poisoning of your people, physically and spiritually. This landfill is not t he answer to your bright f uture but a deadly t rap t hat has been wrongfully sold to you and which you, now, are tryingto sell to me. I wish you and your tribe health and a long life of peace in this world. And I do not wish to store my garbage on or in our sacred Earth. Garrett Collins Literature and Writing Studies Wonders of ginseng are misleading A recent Pride article on the Health and Fitness page about the "magical powers" of ginseng caught my eye (November2,1994). Although I am not familiar with scientific studies of ginseng and its components, l am suspicious and somewhat worried about the claims made for it in the article, especially as no evidence for the various claims was presented. Controversy surrounds many drugs whose efficacy and safety have been tested extensively by pharmaceutical companies and medical schools under the watchful eye of the Food and Drug Administration. I would therefore be very surprised if there did not also exist much controversy about the safety or beneficial effects of ginseng, a complex natural product which has not gone through such thorough study. I am disappointed t hat neither opposing views nor scientific evidence about t he safety or beneficial effects of ginseng was presented i n the article. I encourage consumers to be highly skeptical oft he claims made by t he manufactur- ers, distributors and sellers of "traditional medicines" and "health foods," and to accept such claims only when sound evidence for their safety and benefits is presented. Although it is true t hat many valuable medications have been derived from "traditional medicines," these are most safe and effective when t he active ingredients are isolated, studied and prescribed in controlled dosages by a physician who understands their physiological effects. Many of the'"natural" products on the market do no good; a few do no good and are later found to do harm, as well. Perhaps the greatest harm is done when people with a real medical problem choose to treat their problem with an ineffective "traditional" or "natural" remedy instead of getting effective help from a qualified medical professional.

With winter comes the first round of respiratory viruses and eventually true influenza commonly call the "flu". True influenza is a viral respiratory infection that strikes suddenly with high fever, bodyaches, frequently severe headache (especially around the eyes) dry hacking cotigh and ofter respiratory symptoms. Most young healthy adults will be able to recover from the infection without much problem except missing a few days of classes or work. For others who are considered "high risk", the illness can be very serious with pneumonia and a long recovery being prominent. To prevent this potentially serious illness each year an Influenza "Flu" vaccine is developed. It changes each year because although the clinical illness doesn't change the virus does. Viruses are very sneaky microbes. By the way, there are two (2) significant influenzaviruses,A&B. Type A causes the most severe illness. The vaccine this year protects against 2 viruses of the A type and one of the B type. The best time to get the vaccine is essentially now through November because it often takes a few weeks to develop antibodies after vaccination. The immunity then lasts at its highest level for approximately three (3) months. As with many preventive health practices people don't avail themselves to their benefits. One reason frequently given is that influenza is a nuisance illness. As previously stated it is very serious for high risk people and can strike even healthy people quicklycausing pneumonia. Also, it is a major factor in loss of school and work days. Secondly, people all too often have heard stories about reactions that mostly are not true and frequently greatly exaggerated. Studies have demonstrated almost the same reported effects with vaccine or placebo (placebo being not an active vaccine). Also, the newer vaccines are purer and more sophisticated. The only true // // $ m / contraindication not to receive the vaccine is a serious allergy to eggs because the viruses used to create the vaccine are grown in egg cell-culture. Who should d efinitely receive t he v accine i.e. t he high-risk groups? T hey are as follows: 1. People with chronic lung or heart disease. This includes persons with asthma-which includes many collegeage students. 2. People with chronic metabolic disease such as diabetes, kidney disease or people who are immunosuppressed. 3. People over the age of 60. 4. People who are capable of transmitting flu to high-risk patients such as a. Health care workers - including non professionals who work with or provide services to high-risk patients b. Persons living in the same household with high-risk patients Also, although not considered highrisk, people who provide essential community services should contemplate vaccination. In my mind this would include teachers, teachers' aids, preschool teachers, counselors, etc. Many college-age students work in these areas. Student Health Services will be offering the Influenza Vaccine through November to both high-risk and other patients until supplies run out. They are offered free to students.

Protestors demand change BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer Protests on campus erupted as students sought to give voice to ongoing issues they feel are being ignored by CSUSM administrators and staff. Student Claude Sayf rallied a group of students on November 9 who were upset about remarks university spokesperson Paige Jennings made regarding the arrest of Jason Williams and larger issues of racial profiling. Jennings is quoted in the November 5 edition of the North County Times saying, "William's race was not a factor in the incident," About 30 students walked to Jennings's office to confront her. "You released a statement to the North County Times talkSee PROTESTS * page 3 Financial Aid woes Problems getting financial assistance plague some students BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Students joined together to have their voices heard when they marched to CSUSM President Karen Haynes' office on November 10, and remained there until they could see the president. Approximately 24 students waited in the boardroom adjacent to the president's office and when Haynes arrived the group presented her with a letter expressing their concerns. The letter was presented to Haynes by Progressive Activist Network (PAN) President, Julie Bennington, and it expressed frustration regarding Haynes' inaccessibility and lack of support for students. Students chose to stand quietly around the President Haynes listens to student concerns. VOL. XII NO. 12 As if juggling school, work, homework, and family isn't hard enough, many CSUSM students also worry how they'll pay for tuition next semester. The financial aid office in Craven Hall 4204 is set up to help students getfinancialassistance, but for some students it actually provides more headaches than money. Financial aid paperwork is extensive and once it's complete there is no guarantee financial aid will be provided. If a student is granted financial aid there is no guarantee the funding will sustain them until graduation. "I was supposed to graduate next December. A month ago I got a letter from Cal Grant saying this was my last year on financial aid," said student Diane Gallego. Gallego, taking 12 units each semester, has made the dean's list while working part time to support her family. In terms of completed units, she currently stands somewhere between a junior and a senior. The Cal Grant is only good for four years, but Gallago has about another year until graduation. "I don't know what I'm going to do next semester," said Gallago. Augusta Fruzyna has a different problem with financial aid. She takes advantage of a veteran's grant, however she lost her grant because she made too much money at work. "It's a lose/win situation. I don't make enough money to live comfortably, but then if I make enough See AID, page 3 INSIDE News Photo by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Campus groups gather for peace BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Peace was celebrated at CSUSM—in spite of several obstacles—when PAN and the College Democrats hosted the first annual Peace Picnic on the lawn in front of the library on November 10. Student groups such as, College Democrats, PAN, Woman's Studies Student Association (WSSA), Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender Alliance (L.G.B.T), and the College Republicans.all set up tables at the eVent àlòng with community groups such as Code Pink and San Diego Coalition of Peace and Justice to provide students with more information on ways to promote peace. The groups also provided speakers. "The picnic was an effort to embrace peace and equality in our diversity," said Sarah Leonard of PAN.

The letter also addressed students' concerns about the forum held regarding policing practices on campus held on November 4, which Haynes was scheduled to attend. Haynes stated that the "circumstances of the forum President Haynes changed" switching from a forum, to a discussion of an "incident-specific event" and that is why she could not attend. The students said that Haynes' staff gave them several contradictory reasons why Haynes wasn't there. They said that someone representing Haynes should have attended. "If you support my experience, then you need to listen to my experience and that is not what's happening," said Honey Folk, student and former ASI President. "My concerns are to be concerned about the issues and safety of students, and to also protect their rights and protect the rights of all employees. [Campus] Police are employees in the University and I have to guard against them being prejudged," said Haynes. Another issue the letter C 4 i l K I * !trit\0<k fM ^"Kiiiiiii» ^«iriP*» NOW addressed was that students have a hard time successfully booking appointments with the President. "Students realize that we don't have to sit back and take it. We don't have to wait around for her to decide it's a good time to meet," said Bennington. "We have valid questions." The students and Haynes discussed several ways to fix the problem, one of which was a form students can fill out to help schedule meetings more effectively. The students and the Haynes agreed to have a meeting about how to meet, and then to meet on the issues. When the discussion was finished Haynes thanked everyone for sharing before leaving for another appointment. "I think what we had to say was effective in that we were heard, but not so effective in the sense that we didn't get a good answer" said Bennington. "We will definitely follow up." HIRING!!!

Having over 300 veterans that attend CSUSM, and many more eligible for veterans' grants through family members, Fruzyna isn't the only one who struggles to balance personal income and qualifying for government aid. Student Elsie Solis is frustrated with the process. Despite being financially independent of her family, she still finds it difficult to get grants. "I signed up early but still didn't get the grant because my parents made too much money. But I'm 23 and I'm not a part of [dependent on] them anymore. But they (financial aid) said until your 24 you're still a part of [dependent on] them," said Solis. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) considers students dependants of their families until they are 24, or married, or are working on their masters/doctoral, or they have a child that they support. "It's not something we get kicks out of either, it's a Congress thing. Write to your Congress. They feel it's the family's responsibility until the student is that specific age," said Cynthia Silman of the financial aid office in response to Solis' concerns. "If a student feels they have special circumstances to their dependency level they can check on the dependency override," said Silman. Dependency override is determined at the campus level. "We need to look at the specific situation. There are only a few grants and scholarships that are specifically four years," said Silman in response to student concerns about four-year loans. Solis said that loans are readily available, citing the fact that the government gives CSUSM students about, "$22 million a year in loans." More information about loans, grants or other financial aid can be found at the Financial Aid Office website at: http:// www.csusm.edu/finaid/ or at the FAFSA website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. ing about how there is no racial profiling going on," said Sayf. "Yes they quoted me. The comment I made was that according to the police officers I talked with, this was not a case of racial profiling," Jennings said to the group. Student Honey Folk asked Jennings if the university was asking the newspaper to run a correction. In response, Jennings said that she wasn't misquoted. "It was part of a quote. I did say yes, this was not...," said Jennings stopping mid-sentence. After a brief pause, Jennings reiterated that her quote was based on information she received from the Cal State San Marcos Police Department. "The President [Haynes] sent out an email saying we should not make judgments about what happened without all the information. You represented to the Spring registration i n progress Tuesday, November 16 2004 newspaper that there is no problem here. That is not true," said Sayf. According to Sayf, who compared student demographic information obtained from the CSUSM website along with demographic arrest information obtained from the CSUSM Police Department website, "twice the percentage of black and twice the percentage of Latinos" were arrested by Campus Police than the percentage of these students on campus. CSUSM Director of Communications Rick Moore said that comparing arrest and demographic data doesn't account for "a lot of people who come to campus that are not students." Several students said that campus visitors were not numerous enough to account for the statistics. "The people who read the story are now getting the impression that his [Williams] race did not enter into the picture, and we know that to be false," said Folk. "And let the record show brothers and sisters, we will not stand for it any longer," added Sayf. The group left Jennings office. Outside of Craven Hall Sayf said, "There is only one way we can all make a difference and that's together." On November 11 a group of students gathered in ACD 402 to write letters to CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis demanding an investigation into campus police practices, and that charges against Jason Williams be dropped. Shortly after noon some 30 students marched from the classroom to the police department to deliver the letters chanting, "Investigate the campus police. Stop the harassment. Bring the peace," briefly along the way. The marchers gathered single-file outside the police department and delivered their letters one-by-one to police dispatcher John Frawley who said he would niake sure the chief got them. PEACE, from page 1 could come." The picnic was originally scheduled to happen before the election, but because organizers invited congressional candidates to speak, it was seen as political and too high risk. Risk management asked the student organizations to obtain special event insurance (at a cost of about $400) which they attempted to get, but were denied because the event was seen as high risk. The administration then gave the organizers another option; hire a campus police officer to guard the event. "Walls-were put up in front of us when we tried to plan this event," said Mark Web of the College Democrats. "The administration is doing the students on this campus a disservice when they try to stop student originations from trying to have a platform to discuss different ideas." "It sends a message to the students when we have to have a police officer with a gun at our peace picnic," said Sarah Leonard. Rain also delayed the event but Thursday the weather cooperated and the picnic went on as planned. There was BBQ to feed hungry students and plenty of guest speakers all spreading the same message: peace. "This is unbelievable, awesome. I am so excited to see our little university doing Photo by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Lanysha Adams addresses the crowd at the Peace Picnic. something," said Communication major Brandi Feston. "I wish more people were here, this event really opens your eyes." Francine Busby, former congressional candidate, spoke about peace and gave students ideas on how they could become peacemakers. "Each one of us is a peacemaker, and each one of us has to smile at someone everyday.. .peace is something we have to work for," said Busby. Communication major Jason Williams shared a personal story and then told students, "We are not here to be closedminded individuals...we as students have the power to change the country." Executive Director of the College Republicans, Nick Bonomi, offered a different perspective when he spoke on peace as a Republican JZju^^ "The Republican party fights for peace too," he said "they just don't go about it the way you do." Members of the International Club spoke and read definitions of peace from around the world. "Peace is to live in harmony among differences," read the definition from Argentina. A1 Howard from the K23 orchestra preformed spoken word poetry, and Julie Bennington, PAN's President, sang a song she wrote. "I feel learning is just not enough, learning about peace is a great start, but what are we going to do after that," said Heidi Doyle of WSSA. "I am grateful for PAN and WSSA for getting students to be activists."

Turns out your water bottle is headed for one hell of a journey. The journey begins when CSUSM's Blue Team is responsible for emptying and sorting of the campus recycling bins. According to the CSIJSM Recycling Green Team's Mui Sullivan, "Blue Team members (from CSUSM's facilities department) haul the larger wheeled bins to the recycling sorting area located behind the Science II building." The Blue Team corrects any errors students might make while recycling—such as accidentally putting a glass bottle into the plastic recycling bin, or vice v e r s a removing garbage from the recycling containers and preparing the recyclables for pick up by EDCO whenever the bins are filled. "EDCO is on an on-call basis," said Sullivan. "Since the campus population varies throughout the year, it makes more sense for us than having a regular pick up schedule." When asked if trash in the recycling bins was a big problem for the Blue Team, Sullivan didn't think so. "Once in a while we find a napkin or something in a recycling bin, but I think the percentage of garbage found in the recycling bins is very small," said Sulli- van. EDCO hauls the recyclables to its Escondido sorting facility, where plastic bottles are separated from the aluminum, and each other. EDCO spokesperson George Peterson said, "Each bin picked up from CSUSM is spread across a large conveyor belt where it is manually sorted." Each type of plastic follows a different path to be recycled: PET from water bottles will be remanufactured into assorted polyester products such as fiberfill, clothing, carpet, and HDPE from milk jugs will become plastic lumber products, recycling and compost bins. EDCO compresses the PET plastic water and soda bottles into pallet-size bundles, which are sold on the open market to manufacturers like Mohawk Industries in Summerville, Georgia. Mohawk spokesperson Roone Gable was proud of his company's achievements in PET plastic recycling. "Mohawk Industries is the world's largest floor covering company, and our polyester division is the largest user of postconsumer recycled PET plastics in the world," said Gable. Gable went on to say that Mohawk uses 220 million pounds of post-consumer recycled PET plastic per year. "It takes fifteen bottles to make one pound of carpet; you can imagine how many billions of bottles we're responsible for recycling each year," Gable continued. When asked whether Mohawk was able to acquire as many recyclable bottles as needed, Gable was pensive. "There is defi- i Photo illustrations by Jason Encabo / The Pride nitely a greater demand than supply, which is going to make continuing the manufacture of products like ours difficult; prices for post-consumer recycled PET plastic are at the high end right now," Gable said. Currently US consumers recycle approximately 36 percent of PET plastic beverage containers. Thefinalstop for thisincarnation of your plastic water bottle may be the carpet under your feet. San Marcos carpet retailer West Coast Flooring sells all of Mohawk Industries 100 percent post-consumer recycled PET plastic polyester carpets, which can be ordered through their showroom. According to the EPA, carpets made of recycled PET plastic tend to be more stainresistant than other fibers. If you thought your plastic water bottle came back as a plastic water bottle, you're not alone. In fact plastic water bottles can't be made from plastic water bottles. It's too costly to disinfect the plastic for that purpose; Coca-Cola tried for two years and it wasn't cost effective. So next time you shove your bottle through that rubber slot, be nice. Your bottle has a long, long way to go. PCSD PSYCHIATRIC CENTERS AT SAN DIEGO Depressed? Sad? Holiday Blues? Help is just down the street...

What if I'm If students don't know where to start looking for an internship that fulfills their needs, not a problem - students can receive assistance from Career and Transfer Student Services (CATSS), located at Craven 4201, in obtaining information and direction of finding the proper internship relevant to a student's field of interest, "If you need help, a career counselor will gladly help students get situated with information and explore how to go about various avenues in finding the proper internship," said Brenda Dumas, CATSS employer relations coordinator, Current and past students of CSUSM agree that internships give them an advantage over graduates or students looking for a job. "There is nothing like hands-on experience and applying what I have learned at CSUSM with real life situations," said Teri Renner, human development senior. "Plus an internship looks fantastic on your resume." Randi Delenela, CSUSM sociology alumnus said, "On my quest for looking for a job, all employers that I have talked to want information on my experience. So I tell them about my duties and responsibilities at my internship. So far, the results of my job hunt look promising." The only down side of taking on an internship is that students have to work a minimum of 15 hours a week and the internship must be non-paid to receive academic credit. Yet, after it is all said and done, the attractiveness of an internship may give students that extra umph needed to impress employers.

Artest has become so consumed with the promotion of his album that he has caused himself extreme exhaustion. He has been so exhausted that he requested a month off from the team so he could rest up. When I heard the news of his request I thought to myself, "Who does this guy think he is?" I mean the NBA season just started and he wants to take time off from his job that he has for only 7 months out of the year so that he can go participate in an extra curricular activity. The Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle didn't take to kindly to the request of Artest and Carlisle benched Artest for 2 games and told him he had to come back and play after the punishment. As I use my magical sports mind and look into the future I can tell you right now that none of his songs will be Grammy worthy because there is a reason why he shoots baskets and not flows. I mean how many athletes have platinum selling records? He won't be the first athlete to be a bust when trying a ng ture.

I am also a student here at Cal State San Marcos on the brink of graduating with my bachelor's degree in History, specifically American History with an emphasis on the American Indian experience. I am not of Native blood; in fact, I am of Irish, English, German, and Norwegian descent. I attended Palomar College after high school to pursue a career in fashion design. The classes I wanted were unavailable and so on a whim I took a class in archaeology and a class in American Indian studies. My life, who I am today and who I will become, began that semester. While working toward my associate's degree in archaeology^ met many wonderful people of American Indian descent. They were kind enough to share their experiences, beliefs, opinions, and laughter with me, giving me a perspective of the Native American community that could never be gleaned from the pages of academia. Upon transferring to Cal State San Marcos, I heard of the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA). I met some students who were members of this club in one of my American Indian History classes and thought that it would be interesting t a join and meet people of American Indian descent who were my own age so that we could discuss contemporary Indian issues. I thought that maybe I could help bridge the gap between archaeologists and Native Americans by answering questions that they may have had regarding archaeology, and by asking questions regarding their feelings of archaeology. The gift I received by joining AISA was much more than I could have ever realized. I was honored to assist in the hosting of the Cal State San Marcos Tukwut Powwow for two years, an event that was hosted by AISA in association with CSUSM faculty and staff for 11 years. A powwow is a traditional gathering of people from many diverse American Indian nations to celebrate life and pray for the sick or the deceased. Drum groups and bird singers give the gift of music, dancers in regalia dance for prayer or for competition, modern traditional Native American food such as fry bread is available for sampling, and arts and crafts by Native American vendors can be purchased. The powwow at Cal State San Marcos was a spiritual as well as an educational gathering. It brought the campus community (comprised mostly of non-native students, faculty, and staff) together with the American Indian community. The Cal State San Marcos powwow had become so renowned through the years that Native people from all over the United States also participated in the event. Atfirst,I thought I would simply help pick up trash at the event, but mostly just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere of the powwow. However, it became evident quite quickly that this event was one of the most difficult campus events to host, and a 110% participation of all members of AISA and the powwow committee was vital. The bureaucratic red-tape necessary to host this event was enough to drown a nuclear-powered submarine. The cultural intricacies needed to be practiced in order to invite members of the Native American community were intimidating and conflicted with the bureaucratic methods employed by the university. There was never enough money, there were never enough volunteers, and there was a lot of sweat and a lot of tears. The stress was nauseating. The powwow would get started sometime around 10 am on Saturday, the first weekend of October, and fingers would be crossed. The host southern drum group would begin to sing blessing songs as people of all ethnicities started to gather on the soccer field turned powwow arena. Small problems would arise, but with so many brilliant minds gathered in one place a solution would be found promptly and to the liking of all parties involved. Burning sage and fry bread could be smelled, smiles could be seen, laughter could be heard, and tears of pride and tears for those unable to share in this event because of war or death could be f elt People caught up on each other's recent activities, gossip was exchanged, and American Indian culture was taught and discussed to those who had never experienced a powwow before. By the end of the weekend, the exhausted, aching bodies of the volunteers, the dancers, and the vendors were of no significance; for the hearts of all powwow participants had beenfilledto capacity with beautiful memories, new understandings, and pride. These were the gifts that AISA gave to me. I take these gifts of knowledge, of friendship and community, of strength and pride, and of laughter with me as I get ready to leave this university. I know that my life is wealthier from the experiences I have been honored to share with the members of AISA, the members of the powwow committees, and the powwow participants. I have hope that the campus community, namely students of both Native and nonnative descent, and the local Native American community will work together to gather on campus again for the education and the preservation of the American Indian experience. A couple of weeks ago I read something that said, "Why do we terrorize people to show people that terrorizing people is wrong?" Think about it. Here we are as Americans, being the huge hypocrites we all are, justifying the war in Iraq for our security and for our benefit. How nonsensical is that? To begin with, we are going to ask the age old question: Why Iraq? Weren't we targeting Osamafirst?When and why did our attention shift to Iraq? What gives us the right to go and strip another country of their weapons if they've never possessed a threat to us? How would we feel if another country came to the U.S. and started bombing us and saying that they were getting rid of our weapons because we used an ATOMIC BOMB (twice!) in Japan? How do we justify killing innocent women and children just so America remains omnipotent? How many lives is the United States responsible for when we go to war and when we use our weapons of mass destruction? Think about this thoroughly people... what is really the reason for this war? Is it really to secure ourfreedom,well being and our homeland security... or is it just an excuse to have our current President finish off something his daddy couldn't at Desert Storm? Tell me once when Saddam came to this country and started killing us like we are killing Iraqis. I am not siding with Saddam here, don't get me wrong. I am simply trying to state the truth in what most of us refuse to see. If Saddam is really as horrible as he appears to be, aren't we Americans just as bad? Do we not kill people for power? Do we not do the unthinkable to defend what we stand for? Did we not torture Iraqis just for our own sick pleasure? You all know we did. Then why is it that we bitch and moan when they decapitate a soldier when we already starved, raped, sodomized and killed many Iraqis? What is OUR justification? And if we are justifying the Iraq invasion by saying that Saddam was a threat, well then, isn't Fidel Castro a threat? Isn't North Korea's uncontested ruler Kim-Sung a threat too? And back to my point... why did we just let Osama slide by? The truth is he slid by because we lost our "main focus" and targeted Hussein, not because he is a smart and clever little man who knows how to hide well. I mean, if we found Saddam stashed in a hole in the middle of nowhere, why haven't we found Osama since he is constantly parading around sending us videotapes? How can you all sleep at night knowing what's going on. The worse kind of person is the one who refuses to see the truth. Well, then I guess we all must be blind... It's not a question of "God Bless America" anymore. That saying changed a long time ago to "God Forgive America." Myriam Santos santo024@csusm.edu I have always stood by Karen Haynes side even when I did not agree with the way she handled certain situations. Even while Michael Moore ridiculed Karen Haynes on stage I remember telling her I still thought she was a great President. Face it people can be faced with hard decisions and sometimes they chose the wrong path to take. BUT I can no longer stand by her side while she ignores the racial profiling taken place on our campus by our own police! I am saddened by the fact that a President I stood by could be so blind and heartless. What has been happening on this campus is wrong and the fact that she can not see what injustice practices our HORRIBLE CAMPUS POLICE officers are committing makes me question her ability to preside over this University. I hope she makes positive strides to fixes these injustices that have occurred. But then again I might be asking for to much.

You'll shoot your eye out." This caveat echoes through out the film "A Christmas Story." The statement is the recurring logic that places a seemingly immovable obstacle in the path of young Ralphie's quest to obtain a "Genuine Red Ryder Carbine Action Two Hundred Shot Lighting Loader Range Model Air Rifle" for Christmas. The story of Ralphie, his dream of holding that B.B. gun and factors that influence his reality (his parents, his younger brother, his friends, the neighborhood bullies and Santa himself) create a connection with the young as well as the young at heart. Ralphie reminds us that the desire for that one g ift can build to such fervor that the want becomes the passion. Ralphie is undeterred from pursuing this gift although his parents are unwilling to entertain it. He fails to convince his teacher in an essay that he is deserving of the gift. Even Santa casts a dark cloud over Ralphie's desire by repeating the impeding mantra. _ Mixed in with Ralphie's hopes are the overtones the BY KATIE POWERS Pride Staff Writer "Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?" " Elf' is the newest addition to my holiday classics list. Where else can you see a f ull grown, semigood-looking man wearing green tights? The beginning of " Elf' has a strangely familiar claymation feel to it, but once you get beyond that it's definitely a winner. My favorite part of " Elf' is also (probably) the stupidest. I love the part where Buddy goes to work with his dad. Buddy runs around and around in the revolving door until he pukes (how many times have you so wanted to do that?). And affect some families during the holidays: the search for a Christmas tree, the repercussions of youth profanity and the struggle to salvage Christmas dinner from jaws of the neighbor's dogs. Despite the chaos and opposition, Ralphie's dad comes through with the gun. And, true to the warnings, Ralphie promptly "shoots" his eye out. The legacy of "A Christmas Story" is not one of personal injury. This film represents how the holidays, although nostalgic, are often mired with realities that are not so fond at the time. From that, we can all relate. then there's the part in the office when Buddy (for no apparent reason) is sitting in the corner on top of a stuffed polar bear. Who comes up with this s tuff? " Elf' brings out the wound-up holiday kid in us all. G et " Scrooged" "Christmas V acation" a nd the phrases that keep us watching every year BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Instead of reviewing this awesome film, let's just reminisce the fabulous phrases that we enjoy every year. "Merry Christmas! The shitter was full," said Cousin Eddie while emptying out a septic tank while wearing a woman's bathrobe that barely covered the family jewels and drinking a beer as well. "Hallelujah holy shit where's the Tylenol," yells Clark Griswold after receiving his certificate to the jelly of the month club. "Every time Catherine turns on the microwave, I piss my pants and forget who I am for a half an hour," jokes Cousin Eddie in the living room wearing a white v-neck sweater with a brown mock turtleneck BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer visible underneath. "Honey, why don't you run and get the kid's things, and don't forget the rubber sheets and the gerbils," said Cousin Eddie to Catherine after turning up unexpectedly at the Griswold's. "It wouldn't be the Christmas season if the stores were anymore hooter, I mean hotter than they are...you can't see the line, can you Russ," said Clark trying to hit on a young saleswoman. And my personal favorite from the yuppie neighbors next door, "Why is the carpet wet Todd? I DON'T KNOW MARGO!" I remember watching 'Scrooged" in the theater with my Mom and my sister when it first came out. Ever since, I watch it every year from Thanksgiving to New Years at least 10 times. I can honestly say "Scrooged" is the best holiday movie ever made. What makes this movie a holiday classic is that it takes a well known Christmas tale gives it a modern spin and adds Bill Murray as nasty Mr. Francis Xavier Cross. Who, by the way, has no qualms about firing an employee and cutting the holiday bonus for his faithful secretary, all in the name of saving a few bucks. My favorite scene is with the Ghost of Christmas Present who is dressed like a fairy ballerina with great big sparkly wings. She prances around Frank with her high pitched squeaky voice and beats the crap out of him. The best thing about "Scrooged" is that it teaches us that the holiday spirit should not come just once a year. We need to put a little love in our hearts throughout the whole year. �holiday movies "Planes, Trains a nd Automobiles" 11/16 Psi Chi Meeting 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. UNIV 444 BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer PAN Weekly Meeting 1 p.m, to 5 p.m. UNIV 444 College Republican Meeting 2 p.m* to 6 p.m. UNIV 442 l am Control Meeting 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ACD 101 11/17 Association of Computing Machinery Re-Introduction of ACM BBQ 11 a.m. to 3 p.m, Library Plaza "Santa Clause" is coming down the chimney A L L E T he M 1:1% SANTA clause IdST'ata MM! •rat.

Tim Allen becomes the new Santa after the current Santa accidentally falls off of his roof. What a great story idea! For the next 330 days after Santa kicks the bucket, Allen totally forgets his holiday obligation to the entire world and goes about his merry way. December rolls around (literally) and I love watching Allen gain 100 pounds and try to explain to his doctor why he's put on so much weight. It must be all the sweets and milk he's been eating the past month. The elves are great. They are actually little kids playing elves instead of "little people" who are normally cast for those roles. It's clever, quirky and a little cheesy, but good clean holiday fun. Potty humor for the holidays When the holiday season comes around, one reason I get excited is because Ifinallyget to watch the shows with bad words and crude humor that have characters like "Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo" as opposed to the Yogibear specials I was subjected to as a child. Now, instead of fighting with my little brother over who gets to light the menorah candles or sleep on the big couch while we wait for Santa to come, I can have fun laughing out loud watching funny shows like "A Very Crappy Christmas." South Park's Christmas specials with BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer BY ALLISON SANDSBURY Pride Staff Writer Mr. Hanky are great because Mr. Hanky is a walking, talking, and crapping piece of dung. Mr. Hanky visits all of the children in South Park, despite their religion. In Season Four of South Park, the audience finally gets to meet Mr. Hanky's family; his wife who always has a martini in her hand, and his three kids. A Comedy Central interview with Trey Parker and Matt Stone said that Parker created Mr. Hanky because of an old story his mom used to tell him to increase the rate of the potty training process. She used to try and scare Parker by saying, "if you don't flush the toilet Mr. Hanky will come out and get you!" If that doesn't put you in the holiday spirit, I don't know what will.

This angel has no Halo H alo 2 n ow i n stores BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer "Halo" players have been chomping at the bit for more than a year to play "Halo 2," and their chance has finally arrived. When I discovered my roommate had plans to go to the Game Stop in San Marcos at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday morning November 9th to pick up his reserved copy of "Halo 2," I was convinced he was out of his mind. It turns out, I was wrong. We arrived to a line that spanned -the entire length of the shopping center. It was apparent the expectations for this game were enormous. In fact, the expectations of the gaming industry continue to grow. This forces game creators to pump out new games that are incomplete or inadequate renditions of dreams. With the holidays quickly approaching, it is no surprise that "Halo 2 " was finally released in an attempt to reap the benefits of the holiday economic boom. In the defense of Bungie, the creators of "Halo 2," the long awaited release of the game has paid o ff yielding a t computer Images courtesy of Bungie Studios. Illustration by Jared Devore graphics masterpiece. I don't think many people would have been satisfied with much less. You can now customize your characters appearance, play with a character from the opposition, and rampage through enemy forces in the warthog. Picture your mom's Hummer with a powerful cannon mounted on top that decimates other vehicles with ease. Another attack vessel that reappears in "Halo 2 " considerably revamped is the ghost. A combination motorcycle/hovercraft, the ghost now sports a tuibd boost function similar .to a nitrous oxide boost on a car. This feature can be used effectively in escaping dangerous life or death situations. The levels are more challenging and far greater in size than the original version. The characters are more intelligent, quicker, and pack far more heat in "Halo 2." The most important, and exciting upgrade is the ability to wield two weapons. Now you can charge the opponent like Rambo taking no prisoners. According to IGN.com, Xbox's gaming website, "every h it of hype "Halo 2 " receives is deserved, and once you play it, you'll be pressed to agree." The hype is real! "Halo 2 " picks up right where Halo left off, adding some interesting plot twists. The most appealing aspect of the game is the immense carnage that you control. I am confident that there is enough fire power in "Halo 2 " to blow President Bush right out of office. This game is a masterful rendition of the original version. A fter playing almost non-stop, with the exception of the classes I was forced to attend last week, I can honestly say, "you may be inissing class." In fact, I plan to call in sick to work this weekend and continue my journey through the seemingly endless virtual worlds in an attempt to save the human race. The fate of mankind is in my hands; I am sure my place of work will understand this perilous dilemma. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

FIND OUT ON P. 8 FILL YOURSELF IN ON THE AWESOME CONCERTS TAKING PLACE IN SAN DIEGO ON P. 12 ast Wednesday, Nov. 10, the California State J —^University Board df Trustees approved a two-step tuition increase for the Cal State system. According to a press release by csu.edu, the increase will sustain enrollment, classes, and services for current students. The first tuition increase will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2011 as a five percent addition of $105. A 10 percent increase, $444, will become effective for fall 2011, according to the CSU. The addition to already inflated tuition and student fees have many students wondering where their money goes. " I'd want to see more improvements made to c ampus" said Rachel Hernandez, a senior majoring in Kinesiology. "It's rough for students paying out of their own pockets, but as tuition increases, financial aid increases, too." Students who have been in the CSU system for several years, like Monica Rodriguez, a M.A. student in Literature and Writing, who also received her B.A. from CSUSM, have experienced the brunt of many fee increases in the last few years. "I feel angry considering the CSU system started out free, and its purpose was to bring higher education to people who couldn't afford college," Rodriguez said. Dr. Don Barrett, associate professor of Sociology, is the president of the CSUSM chapter of the California Faculty Association. The Pride approached him for a comment regarding the CSU fee increases, and he prepared a statement on behalf of the CFA. "In general, CFA has opposed the fee increases for many of the same reasons that various student groups oppose thè fee increases. We are concerned about the increased debt faced by many students for attending college, the very high likelihood that higher fees will discourage some students from getting -the education that would benefit them, and that fee increases will further reduce access to education for students from social groups that have his- • torically been under-represented in education. While the CSU system has been very good at reserving a portion of the fee increases to address exactly these sorts of concerns, the fee increases do become a hard fact of life for a large portion of students. Given the current state of the economy, this is not a good time to be saddling students with significantly higher educational debt. "On a broader level, we are concerned that the fee increases reflect the state legislature's continued inability to find a way to adequately support higher education. It is this broader concern that motivates much of CFA's legislative actions, including our efforts to encourage students to contact their legislatures about education costs. A related question that comes up with such fee increases is whether the CSU administration might, itself, find other means to save money (e.g., reducing administrative costs) that would reduce CSUSM TUITION TIMELINE 2006-2007 $1260 2007-2008 $1386 2008-2009 $1524 the size of the increases needed. Along these same lines, CFA has regularly supported a bill to increase transparency in accounting for the funding of university auxiliaries, but the governor has now twice vetoed that bill. "Whether the fee increases are going to come down to the individual campuses and result in an increased number of [class] sections is something that the administration will decide. Logically, however, it is important to note that the fee increases do not necessarily mean an increase in overall budget for the CSU. Though the legislature, this year, returned some of CSU's budget to levels that were higher than last year, the state has a new budget crisis as of [last] week. If this new crisis results in less money from the state for the CSU than was promised, then the fee increase is going to have to make up for some of that deficit. Clearly, the answer to keep us from having additional needs for fee increases in the future is political pressure on the legislature." �WHO IS MR. ALPHA CHI?

Then, the contestants of Mr. Alpha Chi danced Media onto the stage to DJ $crilla's Management "Alpha Chi Omega Rap." The Jenna Jauregui men represented ten countries and continents around the world: Distribution Manager Italy, Scotland, U.S.A., AustraLewis Dillard lia, Iceland, Mexico, Ireland, Pride Staff Photographer Aaron Jaffe Jamaica, Africa and Brazil. A few technical difficulties started before the event could proceed. The contestants were judged on three rounds. Round one consisted of introducing the contestants and their Alpha Chi coaches. Enrique Iglesias's song " I Like I t" played during Mr. Italy's (Brandon Barnes) intro. Some of the .highlights of the introduction round were Mr. U.S.A's (Garrett Yack) introduction with Miley Cyrus's "Party in the U.S.A.," Mr. Ireland's (Nick Bowser) j ig and Mr. A frica's (Ashton Harvey) backdrop photo. During round two of the competition, the contestants presented themselves in their best "formal wear." Alpha Chi emcees asked the participants numerous questions and the boys were graded on their responses. Cameron Mclaws (Mr. Scotland) was asked what he would do if he won the lottery. He answered, " I would give most of the money to my parents, since they are great supporters of mine and travel with the rest." Justin Mon- tes (Mr. Jamaica) was asked to use three adjectives to describe himself to which he responded, "Short, dark and handsome." Mr. Australia (Ken Lalonde) presented himself in his military attire and responded to the question, "What is the biggest goal you have accomplished?" Round three displayed each person's talent. The contestants proved to be stiff competition to each other. Each talent was a mixture of funny and sweet. Many of the talents consisted of dancing and singing. Daniel Mason (Mr. Iceland) replicated Napoleon Dynamite's "Vote f or Pedro" dance, Yack danced to Vanilla I ce's, "Ice Ice Baby," Harvey brought back 90s memories with C isqo's, "Thong Song" and Paolo Leveratto (Mr. Mexico) sang along with Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Brian Buttacavoli (Mr. Brazil) presented a self-penned song and piano composition to the Alpha Chi girls. Buttacovoli dedicated the song to his mom. While the judges deliber- ated on the winner, the Alpha Chi women raffled away gift baskets including a CSUSM g ift basket, San Diego Chargers and Padres g ift baskets and a holiday g ift basket donated by the sorority Alpha Xi Delta. Leveratto (Mr. Mexico) placed as contestant with most supporters. Harvey (Mr. Africa) came in third place, while Bowser (Mr. Ireland) placed second. The big winner of the night ended u p being the contestant who "joined a week before the competition," Brian Buttacavoli (Mr. Brazil). Mr. Alpha Chi 2009 crowned Buttacavoli "Mr. Alpha Chi 2010." Buttacavoli said it felt "Absolutely, phenomenally amazing" to be crowned Mr. Alpha Chi 2010. He hopes to be "the best representation f or Alpha Chi Omega that he can be."

LOTER stands f or Language Other Than English Requirement and it is necessary f or graduation. CSUSM wants its students to be "prepared f or the demands of a diverse and globalizing world. So every student must demonstrate a proficiency in a language other than English." What does this mean though? What determines proficiency? Well the Language learning center answers that questibn with seven choices to fulfill the requirement.

However, after names of individuals under the age of 18 my experiences with the LOTER, or those victimized by a sex crime. my views have begun to shift.

If I passed both portions then I would satisfy the LOTER If I failed, then I would need to re-pay the f ee f or each subsequent test until I pass or give up. In the entire 23-campus California State University system, only seven require foreign language f or graduation. Out of those seven, CSUSM and CSU Monterey Bay have the most stringent requirements. Out of those seven campuses the proficiency testing costs f rom nothing to $10 everywhere except CSUSM. The Language Learning Center (LLC) states that the "exam is looking f or proficiency - not fluency - at the standard CSUSM 201-level" and goes on to state that "if you are testing- in a language taught on campus, you are welcome to come to the LLC to review the 201-level textbook, to ensure that you comfortable with that level." But if the language is not offered on campus they have dictionaries available. I am not sure how much help "the dictionaries are though f or level-specific exams. Since CSUSM does not offer my language, the LOTER can be satisfied by attending classes at another school, which sounds great at first.

But I o ften find myself in a bit of a pickle. While I may hold a deep-seated hatred f or commercials, I have an even more p owerful love of television. For instance, take The Office. I have been a loyal f an since its inception. But I find it hard to j ustify allocating half an hour of my night to watch a 20-minute show with 10 minutes of commercials. So herein lies the dilemma: H ow can I watch my favorite shows without having to sit through all the advertisements? Luckily, we all live in a society f ull of technology that can help us avoid the over-saturation of commercials in our popular media. I feel it would be prudent to state at this point I will only be examining the legal ways to get around commercials, though I still acknowledge that there are alternative methods to access these shows f ree of advertising that are not strictly legal. You will j ust have to discover those on your own. The first method I would highly suggest trying out is a digital video recorder (DVR), or Tivo device that is becoming standard equipment included in cable television packages.

With a wealth of apps and f unctions, the iPhone's r ole in the student l ife has become an extension of the laptop f or some and a mere device to text friends f or others. While making the most of the device's social capabilities is important, the iPhone o ffers so many apps that the most u seful ones f or students o ften get overlooked. The price of these apps ranges f rom f ree to a round$10. Although most professors w on't allow the use of phones in class, these apps can be u seful outside the classroom to further enhance a student's learning habits or change and email a text document when a laptop has been left at home. H ere's a list of the most useful apps f or students on campus. Evernote- Find yourself needing an easier way to organize, short memos? Evernote is a popular app that allows the user to make a quick text note, attach a web page, record a voice memo, take a photo, or take a screenshot.

The Smokeout is a nationwide event for smokers that aims to inform and encourage people to stop smoking and live a healthier life. There are many Great American Smokeout events held throughout California. CSUSM is one of many Californian universities to host an event and CSUSM is also one of many smoke-free universities, where smoking is limited to designated areas. With more than 12 million deaths since 1974 and an estimated 400,000 deaths a year, tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of death in the country. According to The American Cancer Society, 30 percent of all cancer deaths are related to smoking. Their statistics also claim that 3,400 nonsmokers die each year f rom being exposed to smoke, known as secondhand smoking. The Great American Smokeout became a nationwide event in 1977 and has since brought forward many tobacco related issues and helped start a revolution against tobacco and smoking. The annual event started in 1971 when Arthur P. Mullaney suggested people stop smoking for one day and give the money they would have spent on cigarettes to a high school fund. The second event f uelling the development of today's Great American Smokeout was in 1974 when Lynn R. Smith started the first "Don't Smoke Day" in Minnesota. Today, smoking is banned in many public places, and there is raised awareness of how harmful smoking can be. Anti-tobacco organizations and individuals have helped the fight against tobacco use in many ways. One of the latest big changes in the market is the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which was signed into law in 2009. That gave the FDA regulatory control over the tobacco industry's marketing practices, in hopes of keeping tobacco related products and commercials away from children. To participate in the event on campus, all you need is a commitment to quit or to give up smoking for a day. If you are a nonsmoker, you can sign up to be a grassroots advocate and help create a smoke-free environment and smoke-free communities. Gabriel Pena, a student at CSUSM, said of the Smokeout, "I have never heard of the event before, but I think it sounds cool that they help people quit smoking. It is so bad for you." If you are ready for the challenge to put out your last cigarette, the American Cancer Society has self-help guides and support for those wanting to quit on their website. If you are not there yet and not totally ready, the event supports smokers to at least think about the consequences and try to not smoke for the day the event is held.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CSUSM.EDU, OPEN.AC.UK, AND READCWBOOKS.COM �THE PRIDE'S GLIDE TO FOOTBALL FOR THOSE WHO JUST DON'T KNOW PHOTO COURTESY OF PHOTOBLOG.STATESMAN.COM BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR Here at C SUSM, we have no football team. Y ou've probably noticed. T here's no doubt that we have some great sports teams dedicated soccer players, neversay-"die" track and field people, even a champion surf team. We j ust d on't happen to have an organized football department. But woe unto you if you think that means there's no football on campus. The yearly CSUSM Intramural Football Championships j ust barely came to a conclusion. There was m ud. There was glory. At, least a couple people got kicked in the shins. All in all, that's a great sporting event. But what about football f or people who are n ot, shall we say, football-inclined? I admit, when I watch the commentators on TV do all those " X"s and " 0"s to explain strategy, it looks to me like Salvador Dali playing tic-tac-toe. How do you follow the game when all you see are people running back and forth and occasionally hitting each other? Good news. What follows is a guide to football f or people who d on't understand fdbtball. Teams are on a field. I 'll save you the in-depth description of this since I 'm sure y ou've seen one in person or in the movies. The field is divided into five-yard sections by lines. Those big numbers you see indicate how close said line is to the goal post on each end. On one side, we have the o ffense. You can tell who they are because one of them has the ball. The guy who throws the ball is the quarterback. The football position naming folks were big fans of the word "back": quarterbacks, halfbacks, fullbacks, etc. In f act, it would appear t hey're big fans of fractions as well. Anyway, let's not get too caught up in the names. The main point: a center throws the ball between his legs backwards to the quarterback. I 'm not making this up. The quarterback then throws the ball to a halfback or a wide receiver. Maybe some other players, too. Honestly, it could be anybody. I c an't really tell, and I 'm writing f rom personal observation and Google. Hopefully, the "somebody" is on the quarterback's team. If h e's not, i t's called an interception, meaning someone f rom the other side intercepted the ball. You can tell when an interception happens, because there will usually be a lot of angry people on and off the field, and the coach of the offense team will appear to be cussing. He may appear to be cussing quite a i nt. ^MKÈKKttM spill I III H Ii ¡¡¡¡É '*» ¡ ^ ig! H mkMwM v I h J À Opposite the offense, you have the defense. You can tell when t hey're playing because usually two members of the crowd will hold up a letter " D" and a cardboard f ence. I 'm not making this u p, either. Also, the defense is easy to spot since they d on't have the ball, and they d on't look too happy about it. Everyone on this side is trying to stop the offense f rom moving the ball towards the defense's goal post. One could even say t hey're defending it, har har har. This can involve several types of shenanigans, including knocking over the guy who catches the ball, knocking over the guy who throws the ball, and trying to keep guys f rom catching the ball by entrapping them in bear hugs. Football seems to me a pretty loving sport, all in all, with the amount of hugging. So what's the point? mm With the hugging and knocking down, or "tack- 1 wmEBBm ling" f or terminology f undamentalists, and running around? Players are trying to score. Which could be said of any sleazy club on a Saturday night, but in this case, the offense is trying to run with the ball to the end of the field the defense is trying to protect. When thev reach this end, thev have made a touchdown. They will then throw the ball down, which seems kind of rude since some poor schmuck will have to pick it u p, and then they dance around. I think the game could be spiced up by randomly dancing on other parts of the field, but so far, no team has taken my suggestion. A fter the touchdown, they can score another few points by either running the ball through the touchdown area again, or kicking it through the goal post (the thing that looks like a square-ish Y at the end of the field). I guess this part is so that the kicker on the team will have something to contribute to the scoring system, instead of feeling unimportant and developing low self-esteem. I should probably include a short note about a complex concept I h aven't mentioned yet. If you ever find yourself stuck with a football f an, and you have nothing to talk about, j ust mention special teams. I found myself once on a date with a gentleman who loved football. Conversation died out, so I iust said. "How about the Chargers' special teams, e h?" I d idn't have to say a thing f or the rest of the evening . Jn fact, if you ever want to please a football f an in your l ife, just give them a piece of paper that says " ONE FREE COUPON FOR LETTING YOU TALK ABOUT SPECIAL T EAMS." Depending on the man or lady, this may even b e better than an engagement ring. So t hat's it. Sure, there are tons of subtle nuances, and there may be a lot of people who d on't agree with me about the hugging part. But this should be enough to help you follow a game if you suddenly look u p and find yourself in the middle of a football stadium.

Think again. The newest team is M en's Lacrosse, and even though i t's only a club, it plans to be as competitive as our NAIA-sanctioned sports. Yes, lacrosse is more popular on the east coast, but hey, so are popped collars. Just d on't try telling club President Chase Allvord people in North County d on't care about the sport. "West coast lacrosse is growing at an incredible rate, and Cal State San Marcos lacrosse will be a strong contributor to the quality of the game at the college level f or years to come," he said in an email. M en's Lacrosse joins a diverse group of already established club sports on campus, including soccer and surfing. Yes, there is a soccer team and a soccer club. Club sports borrow elements f rom both official sports teams and intramural sports. Like intra- murals, they are non-sanctioned and student-organized. Like sanctioned sports, they hold tryouts, practice, play games against other schools, and usually even belong to an organized league, which f or the lacrosse club is the Southwestern Lacrosse Conference. Lacrosse became an official club in September, but according to Allvord, "the wheels started turning as f ar as getting everything together back in April. Tryouts f or the team were held between Sept 1 4 - 1 8 , and Allvord said they were wildly successful. "We had 22 guys come out. It was great to see the enthusiasm everyone had f or lacrosse. We are going to have another week of tryouts following the start of the spring semester. "There were a lot of guys who did not know about the team in September and want to play, so w e're going to give them the opportunity to play in the spring." Other clubs in the conference include large schools, small schools, private schools and public schools. So far the schedule includes UC San Diego, Marymount College, Occidental College, Concordia University, and Cal State Long Beach. Some schools f rom the conference have had club lacrosse f or years, but Allvord thinks his squad is ready. "Everyone on the team is ready f or the responsibility of representing CSUSM," he said. "We are committed to playing high-quality lacrosse against high-quality competition."

California S tate University www.csusm.edu/el CELEBRATING 20 YEARS M H H H H N 8S H H M M H HS I �SPORTS THE PRIDE SEIDENGLANZ SENDS CSUSM MEN'S SOCCER INTO A.I.I. SEMIFINALS BY KYLE TREMBLEY CSUSM M en's Soccer came within inches of its 2010 season coming to an end on Tuesday, but the resilient Cougars battled b ack, defeating Thomas University (GA) 3-2 in overtime to advance to the AJJL Tournament Semifinals. Fifth-seeded C SUSM improves to 12-3-2 on the season. Fourth-seeded T homas's season ends with a 9 -6-3 record. Whether it was the long bus ride to Arizona or the t eam's general youth and inexperience, CSUSM did not come out playing their best soccer on Tuesday. T he Cougars conceded a goal in the second minute, getting into an early 1 -0 hole. CSUSM would equalize about h alfway through the first half, as Jake Kaiser corner f ound Erik Mueller, who converted the opportunity to make it 1 -1. The Cougars would take their first lead in the second h alf, thanks to one of Alex Rodriguez's trademark throw-ins. H e's created numerous dangerous chances throughout the season with his long throw-ins f rom deep in opponents' territory, and struck again, as his throw-in was inadvertently headed into the net by a Thomas player. That 2-1 score held f or most of the second h alf, but Thomas equalized with seven minutes l eft to play, sending the contest into overtime. A minute and a half into overtime, a Thomas player found himself alone in the box with a near sure-thing chance to end the Cougars' season. However, he drove his shot into the bottom of the crossbar, and it bounced on the goal line before being cleared o ff. Finally, CSUSM captain Bradley Seidenglanz would take matters into his own hands and end the game. In the 107th minute, Seidenglanz received the ball on the right side of the b ox, dribbled across the top of the box, and drove a left-footed shot past the very strong Thomas goalkeeper and into the back of the net, giving Coach Ron Pulvers' squad the 3-2 win and advancing them to the semifinals. "We were not the better team today, but our guys willed their way to win," noted Pulvers following the match.

Telling the remarkably true story of Aron Ralston, Boyle blends heartbreaking fantasy with an excruciatingly painful reality in a film that has visual and emotional resonance. Pulsating with energy, "127 Hours" traps you beneath a boulder and keeps you there in the sweetest of agony as you feel the crushing weight of desperation and the sharp sting of hope. Danny Boyle ("Trainspot- ting," "28 Days Later," and Academy Award winning "Slumdog Millionaire") and Simon Beaufoy adapted Aron Ralston's autobiography, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place," bringing Ralston's amazing experience to the big screen. Ralston was made a household name when, while hiking alone in 2003, he found his arm trapped beneath a large boulder, forcing him to amputate his own forearm with a short, dull blade. "127 Hours" beautifully brings those long excruciating days Ralston spent trapped, with limited food and water, to audiences around the world as the ultimate survival story. The way Boyle makes use of the human senses will linger with you long after the movie has ended, showcasing his unarguable talent. Danny Boyle is proof that long-lasting filmmaking, which will inspire for decades, is possible within the Hollywood bubble. By the time the film ends you will feel like you survived with Ralston and that, together, you both just accomplished something no one else in the world ever has. With your chest constricted from a feeling you have no name for, Aron Ralston's story will bury its way into your mind, acting as a constant reminder of human potential and the overwhelming beauty of the world around us.

Jazz explained foryou Cal State San Marcos suffersfirst serious crime By Roman S . Koenig Editor-in-Chief SORSf iPOEMBlllilIf It is the end of an era at Cal State San Marcos. After nearly seven years in existence, the university has experienced itsfirstserious on-campus crime, an assault and robbery of a female student on the evening of Oct 30 in the upper faculty parking lot While the event is a tragedy in itself for a university with the lowest crime rate in the CSU system, the real tragedy might be that the student did not use one of the nearby emergency phones placed in the parking lot "The calls that I've gotten from faculty and students that get my attention are (the ones) that say they didn't know what the emergency phones w eresaid Public Affairs Director Norma Yuskos. The student, who has chosen to remain anonymous, opted not to use the emergency phone and did not report the crime until four hours after the assault, according to Alicia Smith, lieutenant assistant director for Public Safety. "If she would have (used the phone) we had an officer in the next parking lot below (who) would have been there in a minute," Smith said. Yuskos added that campus officials want to quell rumors that the student had been sexually assaulted. This is not she case, she said. For Smith, the focus now shifts to preventing such crimes in the future. Public Safety has handed out flyers to evening students and staff asking for any information about the Oct 30 assault, she explained. Public Safety also wants to get the word out about safety seminars and programs available to students.

The Oaxacan secretary of tourism visited the campus for the exhibit's opening reception on Nov. 3. The Oaxacan altar/which is no longer on display, included fresh foods and flowers as well as pictures of the deceased including recently deceased Grateful Dead member Jerry Garcia and Eric Prado, a CSUSM library assistant who died Oct. 13. Traditional masks and artwork were created by North County residents Victor Hugo and Torres Morales as part of the altar display also. "The Oaxacan Day of the Dead has particularly beautiful deeply rooted tradition," said Arts & Lectures director Bonnie Biggs. "They sent artisans to build the traditional altar." Also included in the exhibit are traditional Oaxacan art objects and two models representing a marketplace in Tlacoluna and the region between Monte Alban and Mitla, an area of major archeological importance. The picture exhibit, created by Tonny Zwollo, was sponsored by Groupo Genesis, Cal State San Marcos Arts & Lectures, the Latino Association of Faculty and Staff at CSUSM, SER/Jobs for Progress and the Oaxaca Secretary of Tourism. The Nov. 3 reception also marked the opening of "100 Portraits," a photo exhibit honoring the accomplishments of San Diego Latinos. "Once upon a Paradise" will be on display until Nov. 29.

VISA �is GregHoadley Powell wouldVe been 'DITORIAL a great candidate Cal State San Marcos needs to rethink its policy regarding the j painting of campus parking lots by • student organizations. The Pride editorial staff has no problem with a campus group wanting to express pride in itself, but chalking the group's letters all over the parking lots like an animal that marks its territory is unacceptable. Posting banners on campus isfine.Holding rallies and events on campus isfine.Serving the needs of the community by doing volunteer work isfine.Allfraternitiesand sororities on this campus have shown a strong commitment to that But graffiti is graffiti. There is nothing aesthetically pleasing about huge pink and green letters plastered on the pavement for all to see, welcoming students and visitors to this campus. In order to be recognized, student organizations must endeavor to make a name for themselves, not force that name on others where one has no choice but to see i t CSUSM officials should not have allowed Tau Kappa Epsilon to chalk its name on the pavement The Pride editorial staff asks campus officials to rethink the policy. This young university has a reputation and image to uphold, a reputation now recently tainted by its first serious assault crime. Graffiti-like slogans drawn on pavement do not help, either. Freedom of speech is not of issue here. The choice of how that speech is made is what is important. The Pride believes TKE President Robert Brack when he stated in his letter to the editor Nov. 1 that his organization did not mean to offend anyone. Indeed, spirit and confidence are nothing to take offense a t The ways in which that spirit and confidence are shown is another matter. TKE made a bad judgement call by deciding to chalk the campus parking lots. CSUSM officials made a bad judgement call by having a policy allowing student groups to do such a thing in thefirstplace.

Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolb NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR TyCarss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Jill Ballard, TECH EDITOR ToddFederman PHOTO EDITOR David Taylor Until very recently, most mainstream American voters thoughtthey had a candidate to fit their overall criteria: someone who was fiscally conservative, socially moderate, a leader who displayed maturity and was above the partisan bickering that is so commonplace in Washington D.C. Joe Six-Pack thought he had his man with Colin Powell, the retired chairman of the Joint Chiefsof Staffwho worked under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush and, for a short while, Bill Clinton. Powell would have offered plenty to a Republican ticket, especially by what he lacked: the age and political career of Bob Dole, the pessimism of Pat Buchanan and the brashnessofBob Dornan. So what happened to "Powell for President," the candidacy that never was, and whatdoesthismeanforthe 1996presidential elections? It had seemed obvious to so many of us that Colin Powell would run for president, and very likely be elected next year. His memoirs have been selling like hotcakes and his book signing tour has been a success. There is the argument that fringe Republicans drove Powellfromrunning as a Republican. Staunch conservatives were afraid that he might squelch the Republican revolution which started last November when, for thefirsttime in 40 years, the GOP won both branches of Congress. James CarviHe, who ran Clinton's successful campaign in 1992, saidflatiythata(T)his completes the take-over of the Republican Party by the 'radical r ight'" With this statement, Carville ignores three major points.

GET THE VOTE OUT YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE �World-class jazz musicians perform at GSUSM By JHI Ballard Entertainment Editor The jazzduo of Holly Hoffman, flute, and Mike Wofford, piano, played Nov. 7 in ACD-102 at Cal State San Marcos. It was thefifthpresentation of the CSUSM fall Arts and Lectures Series. Both musicians are Concord recording artists. They started the show off with a blues piece. Not only did they perfom jazz, but they also talked to the audience in between songs explaining the origins of jazz and the problems the general public has listening to the music genre. Wofford played the James Brown number "I Feel Good" to illustrate the use of blues in early rock 'n roll. Hoffman explained that a way jazz originated was by, "embellishment of the melodies. Very simple melodies can be used and then you can take it through a bunch of tempo changes, (like) grooves changes, the drummer could say do something different to add a different beat to i t So really embellishment of t he melody is one of the ways that early jazz started in addition to the blues which actually came out of slavery and before." Hoffman played "Amazing Grace" as an example of embel- David Taylor/Staff Photos Holly Hoffman, above playing the flute, and Mike Wofford, on piano below, performed and explained jazz music to an audience of students, faculty and staff Nov. 7. lishing the melodies. "That's really a big part of jazz also, i fs taking a melody and working from i t I fs filling in the bars in between and changing the tempos." Wofford explained why the once-popular jazz became unpopular. "The improvising is based on the chordal changes and the harmonic structure and that starts getting a little more complicated and I think that's when jazz left the general public to a large extent," Hoffman said, adding that jazz was once considered revolu- tionary just as was rock 'n roll and current alternative music. Hoffman and Wofford also played "Sweet Georgia Brown," the theme song of the Harlem Globe Trotters, to illustrate how jazzevolved in the 1930s. Wofford played some stride piano in that number to illustrate how ragtime evolved into jazz music. He also played another stride piano piece to show how jazz is more adventurous than pop music, but "as soon as the music becomes more adventurous you begin to shrink your listening audience." They also discussed jazz solos because, as brought up by a student in Gunner Biggs's Music 427 class, some people reject jazz because it sounds too "self indulgent" 'We're trying to show you instead of this all sounding like a bunch of notes when we solo, we're trying to show you that there is a format that we use so that there is a melody underneath all that, there is a groove underneath all that," Hoffman explained. "So there are some elements here that you can relate to as a listener." The theme song to the Flintstones was then played to further illustrate improvisation over the melody. Jazz audience etiquette was also brought up. Hoffman feels that applause after solos is well deserved because "we're playing See JAZZ, page 8 �Album review New Eric Mathews album monotonous By Jdl Ballard Entertainment Editor Plus tax they're usually just so ambiguous that I find them inaccessible.

She has 24 years of law enforcement experience with such police departments as Ingelwood and Rialto, Smith added. "From a positive aspect, to me it's a learning experience," she continued. "Hopefully, this won't happen again, and we are a community. We have to police our own community, and that means staff, faculty and students." Public Safety offers escort services for students and Smith is in the process of developing a whistle program, where students can purchase whistles and use them if they are in trouble. "This campus at this particular time is small enough to where people would still hear (the whistle)," she said. Emergency phones are located in all parking lots on campus, and can be found by looking for the blue siren light on top each phone location. Even if the phone is off the hook, a Public Safety officer will check the situation out, Smith said. Information about seminars and other Public Safety programs can be obtained by calling their dispatch line, 750-3111. Even with the recent assault, Cal State San Marcos still has the lowest crime rate in the CSU system, Smith concluded. "It's still the case now and we intend to keep it that way," she said. Powell Continued from page 4 being a Democrat in disguise. Some of these Republicans, if elected, would make very good presidents. But on the whole, theylackwhatColinPowellwould have brought to the party and to America: unity. While I am conservative, a more liberalfriendof mine and I agreed we could both support a ticket with Colin Powell and, say, Jack Kemp. While Kemp is conservative on most issues, he has taken heat from fellow Republicans for opposing last year's Proposition 187, and supporting Affirmative Action. Given this, the potential of him being on a national Republican ticket is very slight Still, it would have been nice. It is very likely that Powell cut a deal with one or more Republicans to bow out. While he may still be a candidate for vice president, or even secretary of state, his aura has already been diminished. One thing is certain: many unsold copies of "My American Journey" will now be collecting dust at Barnes & Noble. Jazz Continued from page 6 and trying to create over those chord changes and over that melody something unique and original and still in that style. That's a pretty tough thing to do." Wofford, on the other hand, finds after-solo applause to be distractive. "A lot of times I don't think it's appropriate. I think it interferes from the flow of the music." Campus forums to be held Campus forums on student grievance policy & procedures will be heldfrom12 to 1 p.m. Nov. 20 & 21 in Commons 206.

XXII NO. 9 H 1 N 1 vaccine supply less than demand Questions regarding benefits, risks, and availibility of vaccine emerge AT'S IDE . . X-mas Child See Page 6 See Page 7 See Page 9 BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 4, 2009, Director of Student Health and Counseling Services, Dr. Karen Nicholson, released a statement regarding the RINI vaccine. As CSUSM is a campus community serving thousands of people, containing the HlNl virus is a high prior­ity. Throughout the semester, CSUSM's Office of Communi­cations has issued releases as a way to keep the community edu­cated and aware of any updates related to the outbreak of the HlNl virus, or swine flu. "As you may have heard, San Diego County has begun receiv­ing HlNl vaccines. The initial doses have been in very limited supplies, with the majority of it going to local hospitals," the statement begins, later advising students that, "Once we [Student Health and Counseling Services] receive the vaccine, we will make announcements regarding where and when the vaccine will be distributed." For the many who have yet to receive the vaccine, the release offers little solace. As men­tioned, the vaccines are coming in small shipments, forcing medical facilities to turn away patients anxious to get the vaccination. Since it has spread from North dates to non-preg­ica to other con­tinents, the World Health Organiza­tion (WHO) and the Center for D i sease Control and Preven• tion (CDC) updated the virus's status to pandemic Image courtesy ofNovava.x last June. According to the WHO, there have been over 500,000 con­firmed cases in the world and at least 6,260 deaths as of Nov. 8, 2009. On the bright side, a vaccine to the virus is available. According to the CDC, over 4 million doses arrived in California, which is at least one million more than any other state has received. The new vaccine sounds hopeful, but it raises many questions about risks, benefits, and to whom it will be available. The San Diego Immunization Branch (www.sdiz.org) says that the best places locally to get the vaccine are from medical care providers, county public health centers, county mass vaccina­tion clinics, community clinics, and school-located vaccination clinics. CSUSM Health and Services will be having a flu vaccination clinic during the. week of Nov. 16, however this will only be for the seasonal flu, not the swine flu, and SHCS says that the vac­cines are taking longer than expected to be shipped. According to CDC recom­mendations, medical provid­ers give priority to children and adults ages 6 months to 24 years, pregnant women, caretak­ers of infants, and healthcare work­ ers. Unfortu­ nately, the county only to the has access nasal spray which the candi­ healthy children and adults between 2 and 24 years of age, and healthy caretak­ers under the age of fifty. D r . Steven Bates from campus' Stu­dent Health and Counseling Ser­vices explained the difference between the nasal vaccine and the injection is the nasal option contains a live but attenuated virus, meaning that the virus has been mutated enough to remove components that make recipients sick, but still similar enough to cause immunity to the HINl flu in its harmful state. He also said that immune-compromised and at-risk patients still have a chance of developing HlNl even from its attenuated state. Other risks of the vaccine arise from egg allergies. Children and adults who are allergic to eggs should not receive the vaccine, but the CDC notes, "Because children with severe asthma are at high risk of serious compli­ / cations from influenza, ,-l-"0 1-"' a regimen ,l~ has been devel­ o p e d f o r gi v ing infl u - e n z a vaccine to chi l­ dren with severe asthma and egg hypersen­sitivity." The CDC also says that some people who think they are covered, such as people who have had flu-like symptoms in 2009 or people who were vacci­nated against the 1976 Swine Flu, may still be susceptible to the par­ticular strain of HIN! and should still get vacci­nated. S a n Diego Immu­rizain branch warns about potential risks, "Vaccines, like all medi­cines, do h a v e pos­sible s i de effects. Most s i d e effects are such as pain or tender­ness where the• shot is given. Serious reactions ,t are rare, but they can / happen. Your doctor or ,.$ nurse will discuss these ~t with you before giving the shots." However, their web­ site also claims that the benefits of vaccination generally out­weigh the risks involved. If you are part the groups eligible to receive the vaccine and you choose to do so, check www.sdcounty.ca.gov to find out where and when to get your shot. If you want the vaccine, but are not eligible to receive it at this time, the CDC says, "It is expected that there will be enough 2009 HlNl flu vaccine for anyone who chooses to get vaccinated. Limited amounts of 2009 HlNl vaccine became available in early October, and more will continue to become available over the upcom­n g weeks."

This time I thought I would comment on the differences in how people get from A to B in Britain and America. The first, probably most obvious point I think you would agree is that here in America you need a car. This is noticeable to everyone. Ifyou don't have a car you think how much you need one, and ifyou do have a car you pray that nothing happens to it. Being an exchange student, I don't have a car, so it can sometimes make me feel restricted in what I want to do. Itcan be quite frustrat­ing when you think ofsomething good to do, but you can't do it, as there is no way of getting to that place. If you're lucky, you know someone that has a car and can take you places. Fortunately, my girlfriend does and she takes me anywhere I want to go! Here at CSUSM, there is the Sprinter train that helps people get around. It can help you get aJI the way from Oceanside to Escon­dido, which means easy access to the beach! It only costs $2 to ride and the longer you're on it, the more you can get for your money. The train system here seems good. I have only used it a couple of times so I can't really pass a clear judgement on it. I think the main difference between CSUSM and my university back home (UCLAN) is that this university is acommuter school, so the major­ity of people live off campus, whereas at my university in Brit­ain the majority of students live on campus. Back in Preston, UK, there is no need for a car. Every­thing students need is within lO minutes walking distance: pubs, clubs, shops, you name it. The train station is also within walk­ing distance and you can get to any part of the country quite easily (although I am aware of the fact that Britain is a lot smaller). The public transport system is not perfect in Britain. It can be expensive, especially if you wait until the last minute and they're not always on time. One thing I have noticed here in America is the sheer size of the cars: they're huge. Some people have told me that they have small cars and when I've seen them, I've said that would be a decent sized car in Britain. If the people that owned these cars came to Britain and went to buy a car the first question they would ask is where the rest of the car was. It remains a mystery how some ofthese big cars fit into Study abroad • BY IVAN GARCIA the magic carpet flight (which I Pride StaffWriter hear I bear an uncanny resem­blance too [possible job candi­ Yes, soul searching.

But I do know that most likely because you are being away has given me a time comfortable with it and this is and place to really think about what you know. But being away life, myself, and those around from that opens an entire world me. Gaining some insight into of possibilities, new frontiers what I want from myself, from of emotion and social behavior others, future goals, what I that you might have never expe­want out of life and love, all rienced before. At the expense these things come to the fore­ofsounding like Aladdin during front of the mind when I'm the UK feeling truly alone. Search­ing the mind and reflecting on these memories is something that I can't help but do. Liter­ally, even to the point where I stay cooped up in my room and just think. Think about home, life, love, and whatever else may be on the menu at the local self-reflection bar and grill. The point I'm trying to make is that taking time for self­reflection can happen anywhere. But when you are away from your expected social behaviors, actions, and responsibilities, it allows you to hopefully see who you really are or if you're just playing some role that many simply expect from you. Take this time to think ahead, reflect on your past actions, and come to terms with them or set them right. I know that this week's edition of Abroad in the UK was a little different and off such small garages. I have also noticed the size of the freeways are a lot bigger here, 6 or 7 lanes is the average width. It may or may not be bard to believe but Britain's motorways (freeways) are only 3 lanes wide. From my point of view you don't necessarily need a car in Britain, especially ifyou're a stu­dent, and the transport system can be good enough to get you around. However, you definitely need a car here in America to get around, mostly due to the biggest overrid­ing factor: the place is just so big. the beaten path, but then again, change happens. I'm sure I'll be back to my normal style of spewing out the literary equiva­lent ofhitting two bricks against each other for three hours, but then again, this just shows a range that can be gained by reading and interpreting the metaphorical newspaper of self (Ok I'll stop now, all these met­aphors are hardly substantiated to this extent, it's like I pasted them on with 3 year glue-stick).

"It's worth it to see the smiles on their faces." It has not always been simple to find everything needed to complete the shoeboxes for the children. According to Bran, one of the hardest elements of the gifts to find is the empty shoeboxes needed to pack the gifts in. However, several local shoe stores were able to donate empty boxes for the cause, and there were more than enough to give the gifts to the children. It is also difficult to get the word out that this program is available for CSUSM students looking for a way to donate their time to a worthy cause. This year, there was also a con­cern that not too many students would not be able to afford to donate gifts to fill the shoebox. Still, Bran was happy to share that even though everyone is feeling the economic crunch, both teachers and students came together to give for the less for­tunate. "We had a great turnout," said Bran. While students might not see the full impact of their gift has on the children, the effects are immeasurable. A great example of some­one being impacted is Huda, a female dietitian student from Cal State San Bernardino, a Jordanian international student. When she was a child in Jordan, Huda and her family received shoeboxes. Upon coming to the United States, Huda started the Christian Club at CSUSB and initiated Operation Christmas Child last year. Now CSUSM and CSUSB are competing to see which campus' program will bring in more boxes for the program. While it's too late to get involved this year with Operation Christmas Child, students who would like to get involved for next year, or be a part of nonprofit activities, can help by getting in contact with Ruth Bran at r22Bran@ yahoo.com, or call her at (760) 583-2381.

Conference Championship on Saturday. The game was tied 1-l at the end of regulation and two overtimes, but the third-seeded Cougars pre­ vailed over top-seed Ohio Domini­can when in the ensuing shootout, the latter's fifth shot was stopped by the crossbar. CSUSM won the shootout 4-3. With the win, Coach Ron Pul­vers' Cougars are now headed to their second straight NAIA National Championship appear­ance. "The team was fantastic," said Pulvers. "They were n't at their best after last night's tough match, but they really battled to get through. I am super proud of what they've overcome this year." A scoreless deadlock was broken in the 55th minute, as Lucia Asbury got the Cougars on the board first. But Ohio Domini­can, whose play absolutely lived up to their seeding, got the equal­izer in the 75th minute. The 1-1 score would persist through regulation and overtime, putting the Cougars in a familiar situation. Facing Simon Fraser in last year's A.I.I. Champion ship game, CSUSM earned the Confer­ence Ch ampionship by winning a shootout. This time around, Ohio Domini­can would take an early 2-1 lead after their keeper stopped Breanna Brenton's shot. But Cougar keeper Kaycee Gunion would come right back with a save of her own, and with Kelly W herry, Lauren John­son, and Arielle Cohen scoring goals, the shootout would be tied 3-3 heading into the fifth and final round. Up first, CSUSM senior captain Courtney Drummond tucked her shot away, and when the final Ohio Dominican shooter missed, the championship celebration began for the Cougars. The NAIA National Champion­ship pairings will be made avail­able this coming week, and CSUSM will learn who and where they are playing in the opening round. •Arts & Entertainment Tuesday, November 17, 2009 9 Honoring our Veterans: Operation Art BY SANDRA CHALMERS ans proudly displayed appre-and collages art pieces by Arts Pacific. express their feelings of grati­Arts & Entertainment Editor ciation for our troops at the Association students, students The free art exhibit was tude and respect to our troops Clarke Field house.

I saw the first Twilight movie and didn't read any ofthe books, and never had any intent to see New Moon. Still, I had the idea that Twilight was for weird 14-year-olds and weirder people with vampire fetishes. I do realize that there are legitimate fans who enjoy the writing immensely, but that generaliza­tion remains among non-fans ofthe series (i.e., most males and the oddball girl). But this record had some serious music on it. Things just didn't add up, and nothing explained it. The real shock here is that Thom Yorke's track, "Hearing Damage," is exclusive to the soundtrack. Yorke, along with his band Radiohead, left their record label and have essentially released works on their own terms since. So speculation might lead the listener to believe Yorke thought New Moon was relevant enough to be the vehicle BY SANDRA CHALMERS Arts & Entertainment Editor Enjoy a good lunch with some good music Students can enjoy live music at the Big Cat Food Court this Wednesday from 12-lpm outside under the patio shade. CalJed "Radical Tunes," the Big Cat Food Court and Cougar Shops have started a new tradition to offer live music for students to enjoy while eating their lunch. "We want to further develop a fun and exciting atmosphere at the Big Cat Food Court and support "Student Life" on campus," said Tipper Philips, marketing specialist for the University Auxiliary and Research Services Corporations (UARSC). ''Having good music with good food and drink is an out­standing opportunity to improve the envi­ronment in the Big Cat Food Court." Having two prior performances, Phil­ips says it's a new tradition that is still in its early stages of development. "We just started this and are feeling out the interest level." With the office of Global studies offer­ing international week at CSUSM Nov 16-19, the Big Cat Food Court celebrates it its own way by featuring a different inter­national menu item each day. Flavors from around the world are offered to students for a chance to taste recipes from overseas and other foreign lands. The new menu items are only for a lim­ ited time and end on Thursday, Nov. 19. Menu items prices will vary. Musical groups performing vary in genres and performance opportunities are available if any students interested in per­ forming with their band are able to contact Tipper Phillips at tphillip@csusm.edu or by phone 760-750-4718. They will need to provide a recording/CD ofwhat they would like to perform. "Our goal is to try and have musical per­formances most Wednesdays but we have a limited budget and are not able to com­pensate everyone for their efforts," contin­ued Philips. "We are excited about this and hope to be able to support new student life experiences here at Cal State Sao Marcos." Limited Time International Menu Items: Monday: Thai Thai Peanut Chicken Satay. Tuesday: Mediterranean Lemon Chicken with Tabouli and Medi­terranean Salsa. Wednesday: Indian Chickpea and Sweet Potato Curry and Basmati Rice. Thursday: Italian Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich with Pomodoro Sauce, Spinach and Mozzarella on toasted Focaccia. Image courtesy ofamazon.com for his individual track release. Boo Iver, one of the newest staples to indie music, appears with an achingly beautiful track called "Rosyln." End­lessly successful band The Killers offer "A White Demon Lover," a song reflect­ing more of their first album's style that took them so far. Even Lupe Fiasco makes an appearance with "Solar Midnite," an unusual song befitting the general tone of the soundtrack. I figure you can make one of two conclusions about this: all these artists subjected themselves to the world of the Twilight cultural phenomenon "just because they could, or they took advan­tage of Twilight's success to get their music heard by people outside their fan­base. Or, music editors Charles Martin Inouye and Gerard McCann just liked these songs as much as I did and found they fit great with the cinematography. Whatever the case, the soundtrack is a serious success, exactly the complement expected for New Moon.

(ASI) to bring to him a clear business plan for a new building, tentatively called "The Center for Children and Families," which will house the Early Learning Center (ELC). The ELC is a daycare center run by ASI providing inexpensive and easily accessible childcare for CSUSM students and members of the community. New buildings added to the campus like the Clarke Field House/University Student Union, the University Village apartments and the Kellogg Library, changed the landscape and have expanded campus life. The plan for "The Center for Children and Families" will be compiled before the end of the semester so that it will be available to the new president when he or she takes office. The ELC is currently located offcampus at 233 S. Twin Oaks Valley Road, in abuilding leased from the city of San Marcos. "Our lease is up July 31,2004 and so we have been having discussions with the university about finding a place on campus. We recently have been told that there will be space (available) here on campus," said Lura Poggi, executive director of the ASI. According to Russell Decker, executive dean of planning design and construction, two possible locations are under consideration. The first consideration is near the University Services building where the University Police are located, and the second consideration is behind the Science I building. Plans for the new facility include longer business hours, to better accommodate student schedules, and an expansion of services, to include children in infancy to after school programs for older children. At present the ELC is licensed for only 48 children and provides Spring schedules only offered online ByMKEDOLAN Pride Ombudsman The Spring 2004 Class Schedule is available, but is now only accessible online.

Campus Equity week raises educational awareness By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StafFWriter In the spirit of Campus Equity Week, Wednesday, Nov. 12, faculty, staff and students came together to voice their concerns at a campus rally. In effort to raise awareness about higher education, Coalition of Contingent Academic Labor and the California Faculty Association (CFA) organized a petition-signing to "Save classes/Save our teachers." The aftermath of 2003-04 legislative reductions to the California State University (CSU) system has negatively impacted higher education. The CSU administration has failed to meet the guidelines of the Supplemental Report Language (SRL), that the CSU will "ensure the quality and availability of CSU class offerings, student services, and libraries," (as outlined in Education Code Section 66010.4). Because the integrity of education has been threatened, particularly harming non-contingent faculty and students, the Cal State See CFA, page 2 "The decision not to print the schedule was not ours," said University Bookstore manager, Melinda Martens. Students who come to the bookstore in hopes of purchasing a class schedule will be told of the change. Students are told to direct any comments on the new accepted format for the class schedules to the Office ofAcademic Programs in Craven Hall 5201. Although there is no printed schedule available for purchase for the spring semester, there is a Registration Guide and Catalog Addendum available at the bookstore. The addendum only includes new classes and their description, not their scheduled times or days.

The hope is that Gov. Schwarzenegger will endorse the petition, with the need to "Save our classes/save our teachers." "We are here, on behalf of the students," said Tasha Iglesias, education major and CFA intern for fall 2003. Iglesias has helped lead the student voice concerning the petition. Iglesias shared her concern that many students are ignorant to what they are signing. With music and free food available (at the rally), most students are willing to sign anything. At the same time, it came "as a comfort that "some students were skeptical, and asked lots of questions about the petition." The petition expresses the concern over the manner in which CSU administration has implemented budget cuts. By laying-off hundreds of contingent faculty (statewide), and in turn, directly affecting the students' education, the outcome has not gone unnoticed. From crowded and unavailable classes to the limited office hours of faculty, students are faced with limitations, making it more difficult to graduate on time. "This pin says it clearly, 'Teachers working conditions are student learning conditions,'" said Elizabeth Hoffman, English lecturer and CFA representative for Cal State Long Beach. It is the hope that a week of campus equity will reap enough signatures and support from the CSU community to send the petition to legislature. Iglesias said that over the past several weeks the CFA, student organizations such as Lobby Corps, ASI, PAN, Mecha, and WSSN (Women's Studies) have worked to achieve their goal. Iglesias said, "We have sent out bundles of invitations, crashed classes, and handed out information regarding campus equity week and the petition signing." "That's why we are here," Hoffman said, "a profound change is needed (at the University). The faculty needs to nourish students, and in turn, the university needs to support the faculty."

The new facility could allow potentially hundreds of children to register. ASI has been working in conjunction with the College of Education to plan the programs to be implemented in the new facility. The intention of both groups is to provide not only childcare for students, but also a learning laboratory where future teachers could attain in class experience right here on campus. "We are thinking holistically about student needs," said Dr. Peggy Kelly, Interim Associate Dean in the College of Education. "I believe that providing affordable childcare to students gives students access to education and that is the primary mission of CSU," said ASI President, Honey Folk. In the university's mission statement the promise to meet the needs of its students is explicit, "CSUSM provides a range of services that responds to the needs of a student body with diverse backgrounds expanding student access to an excellent and affordable education." In this time of financial crisis the issue of funding is looming. "ASI and CSU cannot afford the debt. The key for us is that it all has to be externally funded," said Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs. Dr. Martinez provided a rough timeline outlining projections for each step; Fall 2003, complete fundraising plan; fall 2004, secure funding and complete an architectural plan; fall 2006, building complete. This timeline allows one year in raising the millions of dollars it will take to build the proposed facility; however, Qr. Kelly added, "There is a high level of enthusiasm and interest from donors." Barsky refers to the addendum as a valuable tool with useful information, "It is all the information that was in the schedule without the actual class listings." "We hope that students will see their advisers to answer questions on classes," said Barsky. After students become comfortable with using the schedule online, Barsky hopes that it will increase communication on campus. An increase in student-adviser communication will decrease a lot of the uncertainty in degree requirements and reaffirm that the students are on the right course for graduation.

The good-bye offered a special panel discussion with faculty, staff, and students discussing topics including: what motivated the students in deciding to study overseas, what they learned while overseas, and cultural differences they had to adapt. Yoko Suzuki, a junior and Japanese native is majoring in sociology. She spoke of her positive experiences with the educational system. "It's the best system compared to the rest of the world. America is the only place where no matter what your age group you can still go to school and get a degree. In other parts of the world, this is not possible." When - Suzki was in Japan she took her traditions for granted. Now in the United States, she is more aware of her customs, which allows her to feel more independent and selfconfident as she must make decisions without close guidance from her family. She loves the support her family gives her as well as her fellow classmates and professors. Samson Manickarej, from India, agreed with Suzuki about the high quality of United States education system. Manickarej, a computer science major is very in tune with his culture and smiles when he discusses how his stay in America enabled him to see his homeland differently. He compared America to a melting pot or "internationalmarket where everyone is welcomed." His classmates, loved ones, arid professors support him. His one wish is that more students travel abroad to experience a world different from their own and get a perspective of what it is like to be in a foreign country. Kim Quinney is a history professor and of ItalianAmerican ancestry. Her passion for world travel is to research her family roots. Scott Greenwood, a professor of political science visibly enjoyed his discussion about his time spent in Jordan studying Arabic. Terry Allison discussed his experience while in France. He said the younger generation loves everything about the western culture from its fashion to hip-hop. The older generation does not approve of this trend and find that the youth are displacing their rich heritage. Students and professors alike had a wealth of information to share with faculty, staff, and students. The quality of the United States education system continued to resurface. Having the opportunity to study abroad changed their lives from an educational standpoint and touched and changed their personal lives.

The Upper Chisolm, Lower Chisolm, and Cruiser contain up to 12" of snow with some obstacles on the way down. The runs are equipped with fun boxes and rails for snowboarders and skiers to challenge on their way down the slope. The snow is thin, but it's only November. There is plenty of winter for snow to build up on the ground. Mountain High is open from 8:30am to 4:00pm on weekdays, 8: 00-4:00pm on weekends, and night riding everyday from 5:00-10:00pm. Big Bear, now two resorts with Bear and Snow Summit merging, has also begun the winter season. Big Bear has between 6"-18" of snow on the mountain. The park known as "Claim Jumper," has 6 jumps and 19 jibs for riders to hit during their day on the mountain. Bear has also opened Big Bear Express for the snowboarder or skier seeking to test their carving or cutting abilities on the snow. The season should bring more snow to the mountain to help keep your board or ski's free from dings and scratches. Bear is open Monday through Friday from 8: 30am-4:00pm and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00-4:00pm. If you are planning to spend less time on the slopes, Bear also has half-day sessions from 12:30-4:00pm. If you are willing to take a longer drive, Mammoth is also open. Mammoth, the largest resort in Southern California, is a thrill seeker's backyard. Mammoth has 2-3 feet of snow and expecting a whole lot more to fall. They have 5 lifts open and the Gondola has opened as of Friday, November 14. Mammoth has the "Unbound" Terrain Park featuring multiple 60'-80' jumps and jibs that will put your stomach in your throat. The park is also equipped with the super-duper pipe that is not opened yet, but will open soon to give the greatest riding experience. For the new snowboarder or skier that does not understand the above language, it's time to learn. Check out one of the local resorts: Mt. High or Bear and learn the extreme before advancing on to Mammoth. Both resorts offer lessons seven days a week and private lessons. They also have complete ski and snowboard rentals so you can try it before you buy it. WANTED E GG D ONORS N EEDED SWIM I N^TRUGTOBSy!

CFALecturerRepresentative �THE PRIDE Kaleidoscope of Sound By LISA GEORGE Pride StafifWriter Passion. Climactic energy and dissipating strains of melody. The power and driving force behind 80 trained musicians directed by a seasoned and energetic conductor is what makes a symphony a memorable experience. The South Coast Symphony directed by seasoned virtuoso Barry Silverman pushes the expectations of what is expected from a symphony. Proclaimed "the unstuffy symphony for Orange County," this finely tuned group of musical magicians compliment a variety of composers. Their powerful renditions of "Apollo 13" selections, "Mission: Impossible," and "A Night on Bald Mountain," a brief sampling of the works presented at the Coast Hills Church in Aliso Viejo Friday, Nov. 14. The resonant minor chords were backed by thunderous timpani and other percussive instruments, supported by the reverberating brass section. The musical battles and celebrations throughout the night seemed to burst through the four walls and into the surrounding city. The setting at the Coast Hills church provided two big screens through which a camera man was projecting up close views of the musicians and conductor throughout the concert. This particular visual style allowed for a big and little picture of the energy evoked by the musicians through their finely honed skills of musical creation. Caught in the frenzy of "Night on Bald Mountain," the cellos played pizzicato, while a mallet beat a unique cylindrical steel instrument producing a blended, yet pronounced sound that added to the full resonance created by the horns and violin sections. The selection of this night's performance A&E Tuesday, November 18, 2003 7 Listen spread throughout three centuries and dipped into cinematic highlights including "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets."

The PG rating makes it family oriented. The jokes are still amusing to adults. Will Ferrell stars as Buddy the elf and his appearance alone can generate laughter. He is a gifted comic and he definitely "makes" the movie. Ferrell seems to take the character Buddy so seriously, and then wham, he'll hit you with another hilarity filled Elf-esque outburst.

It is an entertaining, holiday-themed choice that facilitates getting in the spirit of the Photo Courtesy of New Line Cinema York to find out who or what he really is and get in touch with his alienated father. Ferrell's humor comes in often as Buddy makes his way through the city spreading holiday cheer. It's corny, predictable and sappy, just how feel good Christmas movies should be. Ferrell keeps the movie afloat with his pokerfaced delivery of jokes and overall nutty demeanor. The only thing that I really didn't like about " Elf' was the fact that the movie wasn't balanced. Most of the movie isfilledwith jokes and is enjoyably funny until the second half approaches, and at that point, it seems like a hurried Favreau was just trying to get the project finished. The latter half of the film quickly pours on the feel-good holiday vibe that is so cliché in films like this. That is the only place that " Elf' really went wrong. The movie was cast well. It was slapstick style funny and other than the seemingly hurried second half of the film, Favreau should be thrilled that he took such a kooky storyline and turned it into a future family favorite. I give "Elf" a rating of B -. T h e V e r d i c t i s t it— Runaway Jury ^ = The suspenseful psychological thriller, based on courtroom novelist John Grisham's narrative, contains an A-list cast and an explosive plot with enough doublecrossing and secret motives to make this one of the best films of the year. This box-office success begins with a bang — literally. Gun-toting killers shoot up an office building, creating a massacre, which leaves 11 dead. The widowed wife of a businessman brings a major civil suit against the gun manufacturer she feels is responsible for her husband's death. With the increasingly hostile public opinion on guns, the powerful firearm conglomerate worries this multimillion dollar case may cripple the industry. Wendall Rohr, Dustin Hoffman, a chivalrous lawyer who fuels the case with his honest passion, represents the widow. His opponent speaks for the arrogant gun corporation, behind which stands a brilliant veteran jury consultant, Rankin Fitch, Gene Hackman, who will stop at nothing to ensure a verdict favoring the firm. Fitch stations his surveillance team at a high tech center disguised as a warehouse where they inspect potential jurors in order to strategically control the selection of the jury. However, the moralizing plaintiff attorney and the ruthless Fitch soon realize more is at stake when one juror, Nick Easter, John Cusack, and his accomplice Marlee, Rachel Weisz, inform both attorneys that the jury's for sale- for $10 million. A dangerous game of cat and mouse set in the French Quarter of New Orleans proceeds. Making up for the implausible story is the extraordinary cast, which works together in creating a heated courtroom melodrama beneath a background of controversial issues. The film is the first coupling of screen legends Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman, who form a climax for the movie when the two veterans battle it out in a tense scene. The movie struggles to overcome major changes from the novel all the while keeping the character development and plot twists distinctive of Grisham. The film needlessly replaces the original scenario targeting the tobacco industry with a political debate on gun manufacturers. Although the characters' motives are more transparent in the film, it maintains the high level ofsuspense from the tense courtroom novel. Viewers unfamiliar with the book will not predict director Gary Fleder's ("Kiss the Girls" and "Don't Say a Word") perfectly timed plot twists. Fleder produces a tightly wound thriller with his natural ability to know exactly what audiences will expect from the film, the cast's impressive performance, and the unique camera-like cinematographic techniques. The confrontation scenes and equally heated political outcome are enough to keep any moviegoer on the edge of their seat. m oto Courtesy of The 20th Century Fox Rachel Weisz, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, and John Cusak face-off in "Runaway Jury."

T HOMPSON Countless essays and theses have b een written about Orson Wells' "Citizen Kane." Many filmmakers and critics consider it the best movie ever made. Yet, at almost 70-years-old, one may wonder if it still has the same potency. I find that many people have not seen the film, even though they are aware of its reputation. This raises the question of if it has lost impact since aging. Before people p ass judgment on the film, they should at least first see the film. Sadly, p art of the reason people hesitate to see "Citizen K ane" is because they are hung up on the fact that it is so old and in black and white. O ur generation is miss- OPINION Potency of Citizen Kane KjruyiKJiy ing brilliant films because they cannot get around the f act that they are in black and white. "Citizen K ane" has lost appeal to most youth, besides those passionate about films. This is because they may not understand the art and significance of the film. Director Orson Wells revolutionized the industry with this film. First, the storyline of the film advanced the uses of narrative elements in a film. The non-linear story has bearings on all the films before it. Examples of movies using such intelligent narrative elements are rare. A s well, cinematography was highly influenced by Wells. This film did for movies what The Beatles did for popular music. "Citizen K ane" took the daring first step and masterfully used specially angled shots, f raming, and r eframing. T H E PRIDE The only way t o appreciate f ully the film is to consider and see movies made before and a fter it. Wells was ahead of his t ime and the repercussions his work are seen in modern films. Yet, now most people fail t o notice his contribution and see "Citizen K ane " Viewers should forget that it is black and white, old, and h as a great amount of pretension attached to it. It is highly engaging in both narrative and style. Everyone should see t his film. Image courtesy of einestages. Spiegel, de I 'll take it as a challenge This isn't political g roups.

The scenery with the limestone karsts or "jade hairpin mountains" as the Chinese call them are only p art of the mystical nature of this area. For along with the magnificent scenery, there is a subversive sense of calm. And while in Guilin this past June I experienced a feeling, rather a necessity to quiet myself so as not disturb the underlying reverent spirit of the region. Located in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi, about a three hour flight from Shanghai, Guilin is one of China's most prosperous cities and is considered one of China's star attractions. Driving around the area of Guilin is like taking a step into the past. Villages consist of homes that appear to be centuries old, water buffalo roam the area and often walk in herds on the road blocking traffic. Rice farmers out on the paddies plowing through the mud behind a water b uffalo have an eerily historical feature to them as their image mimics the exact posture in the thousands of p aintings c re- ated in the past of farmers performing the same task centuries ago. The mystical awe of Guilin is not j ust a personal feeling. There is truly a sense of the spiritual here on a social level. At the Reed Flute Cave, outside the city of Guilin, our guide told us a story about how men used to carve the reeds growing in the area into flutes and played songs to call out the fairies from the cave. The cave itself is an attraction that cannot be missed. Not only do the Chinese strategically light the inside of the cave to highlight the fantastic stone creations in brilliant colors, they also provide creative names to each stone feature, such as the Crystal Palace, Dragon Pagoda, the Lion, and the Turtle and include fairy tales as well. The lighting, the names and the stories all add to the mystery §f the cave. An underground lake in the cave spurred a western story in my mind. The still lake reflecting the ceiling of the cave like a mirror in the near dark, took my mind to the scene in J.R.R. Tolkien's book "The Hobbit" where Bilbo Baggins meets Golum and finds Golum's lost ring. At any moment I expected Golum to creep out of the shadows looking for his "precioussss." Of course the main attraction in Guilin is the Li River cruise. The cruise allows visi- karsts closer and view life along the river with roaming water buffalo, fishing cormorants lined up on bamboo docks, fisherman and river vendors rowing around on bamboo rafts. Lasting a total of four hours, the cruise departs Guilin, arrives in Yangshou. Visitors enjoy a view of the karsts which the Chinese have named appropriately for their remarkable images, such as the Elephant Trunk Rock, Snail, Hill, Yearning for Husband Rock as well as the view of the Li River which is on the back of the 20 Yuan bill. A buffet is served on the cruise; however, the crowing point of lunch was the snake wine which waitresses offered guests. In bottles of clear alcohol lay two or three floating, coiled snakes, much like the worm in Mexican tequila. A regional traditional drink after meals, snake wine supposedly also maintains a medicinal quality as well. Those who tried the wine said it tasted like tequila with scales. A fter the cruise we had a short time in Yangshou at the market. Yangshou is a delightful little townsurrounded by equisite scenery and busy streets. I'd that visitors can take bicycle tours of Yangshou, which would provide a wonderful way to connect and appreciate the area. We were given a chance to the Guilin Teacher's University which is one of the foremost art this university to purchase such pieces. The prices are reasonable Photos courtesy ofEllie Yambrach academies of China. A professor demonstrated the creation of a charcoal painting and we were then allowed to view artworks being worked on by students. Afterwards we went to the gallery where we could purchase artworks created by students who graduated and are now considered as artists in their own rite and works painted by the university professors. Anyone interested in traditional Chinese paintings and calligraphy, should consider and visitors purchases f und the university directly. Guilin cannot be missed on a trip to China. Although you feel as though you are in Dr. Seussland amongst the fantastic scenery, the tranquil setting inspires visitors to slow down and appreciate their surroundings with a reverence. Note: take an extra battery for your camera while on the cruise, I used mine up within two hours as I could not stop taking photos of everything.

FEATURES THE PRIDE The worst things on the Web From inmate personals to dancing hamsters, the Web has host of thigns that never should have been created BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor Hampsterdance.com Hamsterdance.com is a spinoff of "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and the Web site is home to music by Hampton Hamster and his three friends and band mates. The site features profiles of the four hamsters in the band and has music videos featuring dozens of dancing hamsters. Probably the most disturbing part of this Web site, other than the fact that it exists at all, is the number of people who actually have discussions on the discussion board, which includes discussion threads on various topics including the music, the four hamsters and gossip surrounding Animated dancing and singing hamsters create a website you'll want to forget the band. How is it even possible to have gossip on a band com- prised of animated hamsters? Other features of the Web site include e-cards featuring the hamsters that visitors can send to one another, hamster games and hamster polls where fans can vote on which hamster is their favorite. The site also features a hamster heroes section. The site recognizes John Kerrey as a hamster hero for saving his daughters hamster when it fell into the ocean. It also recognizes firefighter Bob Putney, Jr., not for saving nine people from a blaze in Napa Valley, but for saving the families pet hamster, which required mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. In all, the site is little more than a joke, which only serves to entertain the very young. Be warned, if you decide to visit this site don't forget your earplugs. Ikissyou.org Ikissyou.org is Mahir Cagri's personal Web site. He designed the Web site in 1999 and it became a quick success that, for some unknown reason, still exists.

Women's Soccer, ranked #2, blew out #4 Embry-Riddle 6-0 and then defeated first-seeded Simon-Fraser in a 0-0 tie that would be won 7-6 in penalty kicks to win the championship. 1 "It's playofftime," said CSUSM Head Coach Ron Pulvers, after their most dominant victory of the season over Embry-Riddle.

This piece h as become a tradition in the Bond f ranchise and a film icon. Filmmakers have played with this before, but never outright removed it. This is the first of a few grieves with the average new Bond film. A fter the incredible success of "Casino Royale" in 2006, expectations were high for the next James Bond film. " Quantum of Solace" takes place right a fter the end of "Casino Royale," but there is a definitive drop in the quality between the two. " Quantum" is c ertainly a watchable and e ntertaining action movie. Daniel Craig r eturns as James Bond, whose mission is to track down members of an international organization responsible f or the death of his love, Vesper Lynd, in the previous movie. He walks the fine line of doing h is j ob and exacting revenge. A fter an opening car chase, the action leads to a global race around the world. Along the way, Bond meets Camille, a Bolivian secret agent, played by Olga R urylenko, who has a vengeance plan of her own. Both find they are chasing an environmentalist named Dominic Greene, played by Mathieu A malric, to get what they want. They j oin up to get what they want and stop Greene's devious plan involving oil supplies. There are several inspired moments of this film. First time Bond director, Marc Foster, did a f air j ob. There are two shots involving f alling o ff a bell tower and the other of a motorcycle j ump onto a boat that are awesome. Yet, along the way, the story s tarts tripping over itself. For a very simple story of revenge, the plot is harder to follow than necessary. Viewers can get it the first t ime t hrough if they pay attention, otherwise some may need a second to u nderstand it. The story also s uffered because it was fighting with itself over direction. It kept fighting b etween being a spy drama and an action movie. W hile being an e ntertaining film, it is disappointing " Quantum" did not meet up to the standards of " Casino Royale." It did have the same g ritty intensity and unpredictability. This p erpetuates a tradition in the Bond f ranchise s tarted by Roger Moore. A fter a good first film with a new actor as Bond, the following film is always weaker. " Quantum" missed the mark, but is worth watching. Image courtesy of007.com Winterbraun A cool treat for the ending summer BY JONATHAN E.

Student Spotlight: Grace Riehman CSUSM Visual Performing Arts student photographer BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER A&E Editor Grace Riehman is a Visual and Performing Arts student at CSUM. Her emphasis in the VPA major is on Visual A rt focusing on photography. As a child, Riehman observed the world "differently" and expressed her vision through drawing and writing. Last year when her father gave her an old manual camera, she transitioned her focus to photography. Riehman's uses extreme close up photography to, "entice the viewer to really look at each element in the photograph." The closer the image, the more abstract it appears and to Riehman, that is the goal. She says, "I like for people to really think about what it is I'm doing, keep them trying to figure out what they are seeing or witnessing." She is currently scheduled to graduate in the spring of 2009. A fter graduation, Riehman hopes to earn a living through her art and eventually start a non-profit art center for children. In a time where most public schools do not offer art programs Riehman hopes to b e able to establish art centers for young people. Rieh- man says, "My main goal is to give back to the community." Riehman believes that art is important because of its ingenuity and variety. Riehman says, "Nothing is the same for each artist has their own perspective, their own point of view." She shies away f rom using methods to produce her work and looks at photography as a way to, "document her point of view." For Riehman, art is an evolutionary process. It is constantly transforming expression continuing to open up opportunities for new mediums of articulation. She anticipates having a website functioning in the near f uture for people to view her work. Riehman's goal for her artwork is to inspire people to, "slow down and enjoy" her work hoping her viewers will "keep thinking." �A&E Self-Serve frozen yogurt takes over San Marcos THE PRIDE . .. _ In 2 008, f our s elf-serve f rozen y ogurt shops opened w ithin f ive m iles of CSU San M arcos.

Nov. 13,2008 - A very special free screening of the Invisible Children documentary "GO" was open to CSUSM students and the public at the Clark Field house. Sponsored by University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB), Invisible Children was created by three young filmmakers in 2003 that were inspired to tell the story of the unseen war of northern Uganda and its lethal effects on the children living in the midst of danger and tragedy through film media. The documentary was screened twice throughout the evening and the room was full both times. "Approximately 60 people showed up to the first screening," said David McFarland, a sophomore at CSUSM. McFarland, organized the event and made comfortable accommodations for the students in attendance by providing popcorn and drinks. The documentary "GO" is considered a sequel to the original Invisible Children documentary. "GO" was a reaction of what has happened since the first documentary was produced: it follows the Invisible Children movement that has touched America and shows what is now being done to help the children of northern Uganda. Through the organization called Schools for Schools, "GO" showed how high school teenagers across the country have been raising money and awareness for the Invisible Children cause. Three high school kids, who displayed exceptional leadership for the Invisible Children cause, were given the chance to travel to northern Uganda to help build schools that were lost from the devastating effects of war. "GO" follows the experiences of these teenager on their trip to northern Uganda and how deeply influenced they were by the children they met. "GO" shows the importance of donations and help the children in northern Uganda need, and how much they appreciate the help that they have already received. The Invisible Children sponsors were four full-time volunteers that have been on a 10-week tour across Calif, and parts of Hawaii to visit other college campuses to screen the documentary. By Bill Rhein /Pride Staff Writer "TROPIC THUNDER55 of the four v olunteers. "We are just wrapping up our tour, this is week 10," he continued. The . passion and dedication these young volunteers have for Invisible Children was clearly genuine and seemed to be easily contagious to the audience after viewing the documentary. "What we want for you to get from the film is to believe that you can change the things you want for the world, not just to feel sorry for the kids you see in the movie," said Timmy Harris, another volunteer. The documentary screening not only attracted CSUSM students but also Caileen Brandt, a freshman from Palomar College. "I have such a heart for Africa and I have wanted to go there and help since I was little," said Brandt. She also mentioned that her sister is a resident advisor at the University Village Apartments at CSUSM and has gone to Africa twice. "I would love to be a teacher in eastern Africa, and teach children that really want to learn," said Brandt. Invisible Children has also gained exposure from the help of the Oprah Winfrey show, where the original three filmmakers were guests. Popular bands such as Thrice, Circa Survive and Switchfoot have sponsored Invisible Children's cause. "WALL-E55 GRADE: A ¡This was the best film of the summer of 2008.

All of these needs are answered when you become an Adventure Team Leader with Los Caballeros de Aventura, an non-profit organization whose mission it is to divert at-risk youth away from gangs and gang activity. They do this by scheduling a continual series of high adventures such as hiking, camping, fishing, scuba diving, mountain climbing, and many, many other activities. With this type of program, Los Caballeros has become part of a successful community effort to reduce drive-by shootings in Escondido by 54% in the past year. Los Caballeros is looking for young adults for the Adventures themselves as well as to work in the elementary, middle, and high school classrooms, and/ or in the home outreach program. Great leadership training is provided and participation results in great companionship and great new friendships. Most of all volunteers will receive a great sense of accomplishment.

Mr. George Carlson, Director of Facility Services, will monitor the performance of the new contractor. Please let Mr. Carlson know (at 752-4600) of any comments you have. 4. Are we moving away from the Mission Statement: there were questions about whether multiculturalism, writing in all courses and the role of a second language. The second language discussion has its roots in both the international emphasis and in the acquisition of an understanding of another culture. The students suggested another University Mission Statement Day (UMSD) type activity which deals specifically with these issues. We will talk with the student and faculty leadership about another UMSD to see if there is interest in pursuing this event. 5. How will we communicate the discussions of this Forum to the University Community and especially the students? Through the PRIDE is one way (and the reason for this article). 6. What is the policy on students getting e mail accounts and to whom should we go to get accounts? When a student wants an e-mail account, they should contact Teresa Macklin in Computing Services (7524787). She will then set them up with their own e-mail account. 7. What can be done about increasing student participation in campus events? Attending students complained about the posting policy and the lack of available space in very public areas for posting. We will need to revisit this issue this semester. I would suggest a draft by Associated Students after discussions with Sandy Kuchler, Associate Dean of Student Affairs and Bridget BaileyMeier, Director Student Activities and Alumni Services 8. There is not enough time between Final Exams and there can be too many in one day. The finals schedule is set, as a policy matter, by committee. I will ask Ms. Eugenia Villamarin to review the situation and check into the number of conflicts or multiple exams in one day which are in the fall schedule. . To extend the final exam schedule to five or more days from four would require action on the part of Academic r i i i i i i i i i i L, Senate. If you have any comments about the final exam schedule, please contact Ms. Villamarin at752-4326. Remember that once the exam is over, the faculty member's work on thefinalstarts. The earlier that the exams are finished, the faster they can be graded. 9. Why aren't parking regulations changed for weekends? Why can't students park in the "upper lots" on Saturday, Sunday and after 5 pm on weekdays? Per Mr. Arnold Trujillo, Director of Public Safety, students with a current semester parking permit are allowed to park in the faculty/ staff parking lot on Saturdays and Sundays. Effective immediately (see related article elsewhere in this issue of The Pride), evening students currently enrolled at CSUSM who hold a current semester parking permit may exchange that permit for a Special "PM" Parking Permit at Public Safety Services in the University Services Building. The Special "PM" Parking Permit allows students to park in the faculty/staff parking lot after 5 PM and in the student parking lots any time. There is no charge for the permit exchange. Enrollment in evening classes will be verified before a "PM" Parking Permit is issued. Public Safety business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 10 PM. 10. When will athletics come and will it change the academic climate around here? At present, especially in light of the budget difficulties there is no motion towards intercollegiate athletics. We will be moving toward recreational sports (and hope to have some on campus) in the near future. There has been talk of beach volleyball, some informal soccerfieldsand so on but there is are no formal plans yet. 11. There is difficulty with the writing requirement as there are many ways to write formally and students get confused between the styles of MLA, APA, and that which the College of Business Administration wants. I will bring this issue up to the deans of the College and to Dr. Ken Mendoza who is director of the Writing Center. If anyone has specific comments about the writing requirement, please call Richard Molloy (752-4900), Dr. Mendoza (752-4076) or Richard Millman (752-4050) so that we can include them into the discussions. Once we understand all of the issues, we will bring them to the appropriate faculty groups for policy decisions.

Do you have any curiousity about West African political systems or how computers fit into plans of a developing country? In January 1993, a group of 13 CSU San Marcos students, faculty and related community members answered some of these questions for themselves in a three-week visit to Ghana. Initial meetings to organize a similar trip for December 1994-January 1995 are currently being held by the Ghana Project, a campus organization established by previous Ghana exchange participants and other interested people. Whether you are serious or curious, whether your interest is Africa or Mexico, whether you are an experienced world traveler or have never made it beyond Poway, you are encouraged to learn more about this extraordinaiy opportunity. If you were not able to attend Professor Jennie Spencer Green's presentation on Nov. 18, more information about the Ghana Trip and the Ghana Project can be obtained at the Peer Advising Center in Arts and Sciences or in the campus Student Activities Office.

D esigned t o C hallenge S tudents In-Course Honors work at CSUSM is designed to serve academically motivated undergraduate students, who desire to meet and feel prepared to meet expanded intellectual demands, and who are committed to the highest standards of rigorous academic performance. In-Course Honors work occurs in currently scheduled courses and is based on a contract between the student and the eligible faculty instructor for enriched academic work that extends the subject matter of the course. The CSUSM University Honors Program is designed to serve eligible students who wish a sustained Honors experience ineluding student/faculty camaraderie and community involvement and who wish to graduate with University Honors. University Honors is distinct from Latin Honors which is based soley on grade point averae 8Students involved in all Honors work at CSUSM will be challenged to demonstate excellent academic performance, extending beyond standard course demands, to achieve growth of intellectual independence and initiative, and toicontribute to the scholarly environment of the institution. Honors work is offerred as part of the Mission Statement of CSUSM to "uphold a high level of academic scholarship in research and teaching" with the ultimate goal "to enable students to realize their potentialities as enlightened individuals and productive members of society in a world of change." Students, may self-select to participate in In-Course Honors work at any stage of their academic career by pursuing an Honors contract in any currently scheduled course taught by a permanent faculty member. Any student, regardless of test scores and grade point average, may decide that a particular course, in any semester, provides the opportunity to apply for Honors ' participation. A preliminary list of preapproved courses in which Honors contracts are encouraged appears in the Class Schedule each semester. The Honors contract enables students to participate in the regular class while doing additional Honors work. The interested student should contactthepermanentfaculty member who will teach the course in order to develop jointly an Honors contract. Alternatively, students interested. in a specific course listed in the current Class Schedule and taught by a permanent faculty member may contact the Director of the University Honors Program in 6227 Craven Hall. Recognition of successful completion of each in-Course Honors contract is made on the student's official transcript and on the student's semester grade report, T h e student and permanent faculty member will collaborate on the work that will constitute the Honors portion of the course, T h e University Honors Committee must app r o v e both the In-Course Honors portion of t h e course and the specific contract work, Honors Contract forms will be available from participating faculty, from the Director of the University Honors Program in 6227 Craven Hall, or from the Office of Curriculum Serv i c e s i n 5 2 i o Craven Hall. All approvals m u s t be obtained prior to the end of the second week of classes, Students may become members of the University Honors Program by completing at least two Honors Courses with grades B or better and holding a CSUSM grade point average of 3.2 or better. Continuation requires Honors credit in at least one course for every other semester of enrollment as a CSUSM student and maintenance of a CSUSM grade point average of 3.2 6r better, Completion of the University Honors Prog r a m requires 12 units of In-Course Honors w o r k, the 3-unit Honors Seminar University 400, documentation of at least 40 hours of meaningful community service, and a CSUSM grade point average of at least 3.2. University 400 is an all-University Honcourse restricted to students in the University Honors Program. It is based on a seminar model, and it will entail a high level Df student preparation and intellectual engagement between students and professor, This seminar is the capstone course, the culm i na tion of an academically challenging and rewarding Honors experience, shared by all University Honors Program students. The community service requirement may be satisfied by a very broad spectrum of qualifying activity intended to help to instill a sense of concerned citizenship. Each Honors Program participant Collaborates with the University Honors Committee in order to define t h e i r qualifying service activity.

Responses ranged from "I could write a book about my volunteering experiences" to " I've always wanted to volunteer but haven't had time yet - but when I do, I would like t o . . . " and they continued by describing the type of involvement they would most enjoy. These volunteering experiences and desires were gathered in interviews on the spot or written by students on a short questionnaire. Information about CSUSM's students' past, present and future (desired) volunteer activities, reflections and comments were gathered by some of the students, staff, and faculty serving on the Outreach Service-Learning Sub-Committee, as well as some of the Circle K members. November 8th was the first day of "Service Week" for this club that is dedicated to serving the community. Students' experiences on volunteering provide information so that these endeavors can be recognized and shared with others. Sharen Wahl, a Liberal Studies major, stated that, "Volunteering is a great way to explore the working/career world while one is at the decision-making stage. It provides the opportunity to experience without full commitment." Sharen had first volunteered in a veterinary hospital which led to later volunteer work for Project Wildlife. More recently, she had volunteered in a 5th grade class, and now in the 4th grade as part of the requirements for ED 350. During the past two years she has been a Liberal Studies Peer Advisor volunteer here on campus. Sharen, like many others, balances her commitments while prioritizing school studies and family obligations. Many commented that volunteering was rewarding and fulfilling. Naomi Fink, aLiberal Studies major from Temecula, commented, "Little things that happen make volunteering all worth it. I love to help people and volunteering allows you to meet a lot of special people also. There's so many benefits to volunteering that won't all fit here." Naomi promises to share a nonfiction story she wrote about her experiences in a future issue. : P ROiEillilii: «] g i l l i e Students Opportunity to Care P roject H ero, a v olunteer m entoring f i r o ^ r t ^ y outh i n 1 E sporidido n e e d s c ollege s t u d e n t s t o w ork w ith j unior h igh a nd h igh s chool; s t u d e n t s t o 1 o ptions.

The playwright has strung together a series of character monologues with a thread of female consciousness running through them all, an ode to the alienation of black women in America. Herjazzbased prose style reminds us of such writers as Xam Wilson Cartier and Ralph Ellison; her characters deliver their many colored break-away riffs directly to the audience like flute, violin, or even tenor sax solos. Shange simply names her players the Lady in Yellow, Lady in Purple, Lady in Red, Lady in Orange, Lady in Green, Lady in Blue, and Lady in Brown—seven characters in search of their true identities as mothers, wives, lovers or daughters, spanning various levels of the American social class structure. The play's director, Arajeje, has adroitly guided the entire company of actresses into unselfish performances with an approach which has almost entirely eliminated the selfconsciousness and stiffness usually witnessed in amateur productions. All of the actresses adequately take stage when their moment to shine comes; some sing their songs energetically and bravely, while others sing their songs more modestly. Nonetheless, every actress performs like a natural woman: Dilcie D. Perez, Lady in Blue, distinguishes herself by speaking Shange's prose with great confidence, truth and passion; DorindaMcCombs,Lady in Green, understands what it takes to make Shange come alive, openly playing her monologues with a city-smart abandonment; Denise Hollis, Lady in Orange, brings a straightforward, blues thing to her stories; Karen Walker, Lady in Brown, holds her own as the most experienced actress in the company; Ramona De Sanchez, Lady in Purple, brings a quiet, sexy, sophistication to her performance; Tricia Henlon, Lady in Red, demonstrates enormous inner life, economy and intensity for a young actress; and Deborah Davis, Lady in Yellow, says her words with great truth, simplicity and honesty. This labor of love transcends the dimly lit, sadly inadequate confines of what passes for a theater in ACD 102. Wisely, the set and costumes were kept simple, focusing the audiences attention on the high degree of naturalness and, for the most part, energy that these women bring to the stage, again, highly unusual for beginning actresses. Frank Bailey-Meier's original funky, blues-based music contributed just the right back- Cast Members include (L-R): Denise Hollis, Dorinda McCombs, Karen Walker, Deborah Davis, Dilcie Perez and Center, Ramona de Sanchez THEATER REVIEW ground for the actresses to play off of, blending nicely with the sound and movement that the company has brought to Shange's words. Bridget Bailey-Meier is to be commended for her vision in getting this production presented, exactly the kind of grass-roots, cultural events which should be encouraged and nurtured here on campus. I t's regrettable that this production ran for only two performances. It would be great if it could be resurrected at some point so that more students might have the opportunity to appreciate it.

Full-time, professional musicians, the SMSJB features hot soloists, great showmanship and stylistic versatility. Almost everyone in the band plays more than one instrument, allowing the SMSJB to cover the gamut from traditional to swing to modern. For more than 25 years, the band members have combined their worldclass playing at shows and festivals across the country, with performances with big name entertainment such as Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Sarah Vaughn, and others. The South Market Street Jazz Band will perform at CSUSM on Sunday, Nov. 21 at 3 PM in Academic Hall Room 102. Ticket prices are $3.00 for CSUSM students and $5.00 for General Admission. Tickets may be purchased at the CSUSM bookstore or by phone (752-4730). For more information about the South Market Street Jazz Band, call the Arts and Lectures office at 752-4945. A CSUSM Quilt? A University seal, a University mascot—OK! But a University quilt? "Why not," said a group of students, faculty and staff who were part of the first years of CSUSM. Quilts are traditional ways to record important events. Quilts are also traditional ways to build friendships and a sense of community. For all these reasons, plus a desire to break the routine of hard work which goes with building a new university, the Quilting Bees came together in the summer of 1992 to design a signature quilt to memorialize the first two years at CSUSM. In choosing a design, the quilters looked for a simple pattern which would incorporate a wide variety of donated fabric. They decided on Roman Square which allowed them to include a white "signature block" in each of the squares. Signatures for the quilt were solicited in Founders Plaza on a hot October day. For a $2 donation, anyone could sign. $300 was collected for donation to the Carol Cox Scholarship for re-entry students. Now the quilt top sits in a frame about half quilted. Beginning on Tuesday, Nov. 23, the Quilting Bees will display the quilt in the Dome, demonstrate quilting techniques and share quilting stories. The quilters hope to finish this project soon so they can start on another. Experienced or not, everyone is invited to participate. If Tuesday is not your day but you are still interested in quilting, see Pat Worden or Leslie Zomalt in the College of Arts and Sciences for further information.

It is every American's right to choose to embrace the dangers of drug abuse once he or she has been presented with all the facts. When druginduced actions become a threat to the safety of others, of course, punitive action is certainly warranted. And, as with alcohol, drugs must remain unavailable to children unable to fully comprehend the negative effects of their actions. Civil rights have long been subject to restriction in the American political system.

The A.S. would like to stress to all students that the alcohol policy in place at the present time is an interim policy. Until the policy is approved by both the Associated Students and Academic Senate, it will not have permanence. However, once the policy is voted upon and approved it will be difficult to change or replace. This fact remains important since at present, the policy remains a temporary one and as such is still open to input and change from all students, faculty and staff. If you have any questions, comments, or recommendations regarding the policy, the Associated Students urges you t o make your voice heard as soon as possible by calling the Associated Students' o ffice at752-4990, or by stopping in at Commons 205. Once this policy is in place it will be extremely burdensome to change. Please do not wait until it is too late to be heard. Suzanne Clark A.S.

I found their work so compelling that I decided to review them separately. In the last issue, I concentrated on the work of Linda Connor. In this issue I discuss Ruth Thorne-Thomsen's fantastical exhibition, "Within this Garden." Thomsen builds her images around themes from historical eras, movements in literature, and mythology. By blending separate images normally linked to diverse times and places, she achieves what may best be described as New Age Surrealism: her photos effectively transcend time and space, capturing dream states neither from the past, the present, nor the future, but somewhere we can not exactly identify. Her romantic, avant-garde images pay homage to such painters as Dali and Magrite but possess enough originality to stand on their own. Thomsen stimulates our imaginations by using symbol, metaphor and irony ; the veiy existence jofthis cutting edge work shoots down unimaginative critics who have suggested that photography has limitations as a viable and versatile artistic medium. Thomsen rejects the conventional camera, resorting to a pinhole camera which may be constructed out of any light-tight chamber simply by drilling a minute hole in the front of it. By ^creating a camera out of something as simple as cal treat on many levels. The extreme depth-of-field produced by the tiny pin hole create optical illusions related to object sizes from the foreground to the background of the image. Playing with this allows Thomsen to create some of her paradoxes and ironies. For example, sometimes a person standing in the background seems dwarfed by a seemingly huge object in the foreground, actually a small facsimile of a classical statue, pyramid, or monolith. In using these simple techniques, Thomsen make sophisticated statements about our preconceptions and expectations of what we expect from an image made by a camera— usually a safe and conventional reaffirmation of our own lies and myths. She cleverly uses her camera to make these didactic images which challenge our images of the truth, thereby making us question those safe realities which we cling to. Thomsen clearly shows us that the camera lies, and that it allows us to use it as both a rhetorical and artistic medium. In this regard, she also makes a Clear philosophical allusion to the skepticism created when discoveries and events challenge our perception of the truth, an homage to the atmosphere which has spawned past golden ages. a shoe box or an empty cylindrical oat meal box, Thomsen creates a metaphor for her own images. Her work is a true paradox—photographs which are dif- ferent from the way we usually think of them, made by art unconventional camera. This makes her entire exhibit a phenomenal, whimsi- Ruth Thorne-Thomsen now has a book of her adventurous work which may be purchased at the Museum of Photographic Art's bookstore.

The group was formed by Don Funes, a visual and performing arts professor; composer, conductor; recording engineer; chamber and orchestral performer, musicologist and ethnomusicologist. Funes received his doctorate in musical arts from the University of Oregon. Dr. Funes1 interest in music and culture led him to conduct and intensive study of Andean music. He began in 1986, and in 1991 received an NEH Fellowship to study Latin American music and culture. CHASQUI plays music from the Andean region of South America on over 20 different instruments unique to the peoples of this area. The guitar is the only European instrument that the ensemble uses. Although they favor the music of Bolivia and Peru, they also play music from Ecuador; Chile and Argentina, the countries that were part of the Inca Empire. They also sing in Spanish and Quecha. CHASQUI features Dr. Don Funes, Fermin Sanchez and Eduardo Garcia (originally from Mexico), Raul Ay lion from Bolivia and Gunnar Biggs. The group is dedicated to bringing appreciation of Andean music and culture to America. You can hear CHASQUI perform Wednesday, December 1, at 12 Noon, in ACD 102.

The other red dress lands you your new job. Sports cars speed through the night. Flashy, heated moments stir powerful emotions. The power you feel when you attend a board meeting in red socks. Reflections of light glistening as the sun sets beyond the horizon. A Porsche speeds through Malibu, leaving a mere red trace. Illicit remarks painted on slashed canvas. Soft spoken words on steamy phone lines. Red chiffon scarves and straw hats worn opening day at the races. Heated passions engorge the imagination when lipstick smoothes warm, wet lips. Pursed red lips leave no room for kissing. The mark a woman leaves on a m an's face. The mark mother leaves on her litde angel. A hint of suspicion—smeared red lipstick all over her face. Consequently, days later, lipstick found on his collar. Strawberry creams atop a torte. Strawberry shortcake, a freckled-face doll. Juicy red raspberries, awaiting their digestion in the pit of a red-walled stomach. Fornication at night; sex in the day; a quick frolic in the hay? Ruby red grapefruit, cherries the color of blood. Childhood memories of that bicycle spill, an open wound, and that gash in your knee, your father in a rage. Bloodshot eyes, suspicions arise. Drunkards, d ruggies... lover's quarrels, heated discussions, Othello's rage of jealousy. Lucille Ball. Red heads. Charred remains of smoldering pains brand memories in our heads. Red roses brought on a warm summer n ight Red roses flung with all her might. A bloody fingers erupts from the broken vase. A scorpion sting when influenced by fiery mars.

Red wine devoured at dusk. Dracula dripping with tonight's dessert. A library tailored in dark, rich wood, filled with lingering cigar smoke, and the smoking jacket for tonight's entanglements. Red flags represent Russian revolution, Chinese communism. Oppression equates bloodshed. Red, white and blue mean freedom for me and you. Red signifies death to the Crips, and life for the Bloods. Evoking violence, betrayal of life, and death to the innocent, red portrays bleak pictures in the neighborhood, el barrio, as the Mexican, Chicanos, and Latinos say. Redrum, murder. Maraschino cherries full of infamous red dye #5. RedM&Ms disappear and reappear. Cancer-causing agents disappoint unwitting children. Santa Claus brings happy thoughts and stockings stuffed with lollipops. Red ribbons, red bows, merry Christmas with the fire aglow. Firemen to the rescue. Heroes of children, saviors of us all. Sirens shouting, alarms alerting us to get out of the way of the help on its way. Fire hydrants. Fire dogs—Dalmatians with red collars. Brake lights, traffic jams, stop signs. Inevitable red lights flash when late and in a rush. Congestion. Confusions. Frustration. In cartoons, heads turn red, and release steam via blood-filled ears. We go straight down in a blaze of glory. Conversely, we go up to the flashy red lights of heaven, or the deepest pits of hell, depending on our own subjective views. Red bricks provide meals for bricklayers, and shelter for their families. Red roofs insulate tiled homes and furnish the Baja Coast with aesthetic delights. Roll out the red carpet; the queen arrives today. Observing her royal red throne, we all obey. i Sl.Tf.

Ceremony Events Taylor spoke briefly about the origin of Veterans' Day including how, in 1921, it was originally called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of WWI arid to pay tribute to the Unknown Soldier. In 1954, in order to honor all those whov served in American wars, then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11th as Veterans' Day. Throughout the ceremony, two protestors sat off to one side. CSUSM student and army veteran Shawn Harris was protesting the ceremony and had upset some audience members, Harris was holding a sign that said, "rebuild America, not the military'^on one side and "read the foreign press" on the other side. When asked Harris said, "this university should not be allowed to become a forum to promote military activities." "This is a campus," he said, "not a military base."

More than 800 veterans attend classes at CSUSM and there are approximately 30 veterans on the faculty and staff.

Escondido Mayor Hosts MBA Alumni Dinner e rffized Energized event e rJinses clipses recent scandal By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer The MBA Chapter of the CSUSM Alumni Association held a dinner Nov. 6, featuring speeches by former Congressman Ron Packard and Escondido Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler, who is herself a CSUSM MBA program alumnus. The dinner was the first event to be staged by what the association's Director of Events, George Overman, described as the "revitalized" MBA alumni association. The MBA chapter of the association is a separate sec- tion within the broader CSTTSM Mativ of the alumni pointed out SUSM tion any n Alumni Association. that press coverage was especially important in lieu of recent Overman explained that the negative press the CSUSM MBA previous attempt at an MBA program has received, regarding alumni association had fallen to an unauthorized commingling inertia and disinterest until it was of state and private funds in the revamped with the institution of program's management. new by-laws and committees in late 2001.

According unspoken themes of this event. to Overman, the association has o ™oi oil« a goal of eventually staging one event per month. After saying that the MBA chapter of the Alumni Association "allowed alumni to stay in touch with each other and Cal State San Marcos", Heather Manley, CSUSM's Director of Alumni Relations explained that CSUSM's MBA program produced itsfirstgraduate in 1996 and has been growing ever since. Manley further said that CSUSM's undergraduate business program has the largest enrollment of any program on campus and that these factors bode well for the future of both CSUSM's MBA program and the corresponding alumni associa- tion. President Ken Green, who was also the founding member of CSUSM's MBA Students Association, spoke earnestly about the goals of the alumni association. These goals included "serving as a conduit between MBA alumni and the university, and facilitating career growth for the alumni" Green, like all the association's officers, eagerly emphasized the association's desire to recruit new members. Vice-President Brick Longford said "We would like to get current MBA program students involved in the MBA student's association in anticipation of See MBA, page 2 �Free H igher E ducation Free higher education modeled after the G.I. Bill higher education. ByRIA CUSTODIO Arts Editor Dr. Reed began his presentation by emphasizing, "Every resident should have access to higher education with out financial constraint...It's a basic social right." On Wednesday, Nov. 13, at Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) Dr. Adolph Reed Jr., professor of political science at New School University and award winner of the "Scholar of Vision," spoke of a call to action that could provide no-cost access to higher education for eligible students. This was a call to ignite the grassroots campaign sponsored by the Labor Party at the Labor Party Convention and Conference in Washington, DC in July 2002. Spring 2003 enrollment opened this November, and large student loans and debt accumulate within each class credit. A college degree can offer stability by securing more choices. Government education statistics prove that higher education gives people a chance to build a better life for themselves^ Therefore by following the Labor Party's guidelines, higher education at no-cost greatly increases social opportunities. CSUSM is one of many campuses that Dr. Reed will visit in his attempts to spark enthusiasm for developing a significant consensus for the Labor Party issues on "Free Higher Education." He wants students, faculty, and the community to gain an increased awareness of the need for no-cost mere pennies at over $23 billion compared to the massive annual federal budget. Allocation of government funds, without the increase of taxes, allows the government to divert corporate tax breaks to support the growing need for free post-secondary institutions. Dr. Reed implied that the free tuition policy covers two percent of the annual federal budget and is easily incorporated into the trillions of dollars going to corporations, airline bailouts, and government spending. As a staunch supporter of the Labor Party, Dr. Reed spoke of the imperativeness for residents to access higher education while revitalizing public institutions with marginal, implemental costs. "Free higher education doesn't cost a lot of money and The campaign on "Free you get a big bang for your Higher Education" assessed a buck!" proclaimed Dr. Reed. higher economic return leading to increased skills and income Within the statement of the gains. Nominal cost of tuition Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute could be consolidated into the (DJDI), the design for free higher government's largefiscalbudget. education starts with a plan modThe total cost of tuition, as eled by the United States G.I. explained by Dr. Reed, remains Bill. The G.I. Bill supported v eterans w ith full tuition. The DJDI quoted, "...report also found that each dollar spent educating that 40 percent alone produced a $6.90 return in national output due to extra education and increased Federal tax revenues for the extra income the beneficiaries earned." The free tuition campaign applies similar, progressive strategies as the military G.I. Bill, also known as the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944. After World War I, the G.I. Bill allowed veterans coming back from the war to attend college. The Federal Veteran's Administration (VA) said that this bill has had more impact on the American way of life than any law. The VA also said that President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the bill in order to motivate a desire to "spare the veteran and the nation the economic hardships that accompanied the return." The free higher education campaign is similar to the G.I. Bill because it establishes the same fundamental principle in a broader sense. Free higher education allocates funds to the larger population rather than small segment. Free higher education provides access to post-secondary institutions and affects the need for a higher level of education offered. The campaign stresses people taking local initiative to build solidarity for success through word of mouth and understanding the urgency to create a system for social reform of the polarization of higher education. By slowly building relationships with action, a diverse activism is created by revealing the need to depolarize colleges and Universities said Reed. To close the campaign, Dr. Reed, who heads Debs-JonesDouglass Institute in New York, implored, "Nothing is more effective than building personal relationships.. .building fundamental solidarities...Like you say.. .share the vision."

A c hance forworthy f aciütyan^ By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer Academic excellence in the area of teaching is something hopefully strived for by all professors and instructors and is a task definitely worthy of reward and praise. Because of this, all California State Universities reward their outstanding faculty with the Wang Award. The Wang (pronounced wong) award was estab- lished in the fall of 1998 when Trustee Stanley T. Wang gave the CSU system $1 million to reward outstanding faculty and administrators. The award is designed to celebrate those CSU faculty and administrators who through extraordinary commitment and dedication have distinguished themselves by exemplary contributions and achievements in their academic disciplines and areas of assignment. campus may nominate one faculty member from each of the following four categories: visual and performing arts and letters; natural sciences, mathematical and computer sciences and engineering; social and behavioral sciences and public services; and education and the professional and applied science fields. mwoolf@csusm.edu.

This is the chance for students to recognize faculty and staff for their Local School District Searching for Mentors Mentoring: A Possitive Experience for College Students By STEVEN ZAMORA Opinion Editor To be a mentor is to have an opportunity to impact various students who are neèd of academic help. Joan Helms, associate under the Wellness Department within the Poway Unified School District, along with the Poway Unified School District itself, will argue for more mentors, in order to positively impact their students as much as possible. They are looking for college students to be the mentors for their students. General Colin L. Powell (Ret.), Chairman of America's Promise and Secretary of State, talks about "Commitment makers," which are some individuals or organizations trying to make a difference by pledging their time, treasures, and resources towards helping our youth, is referencing, through Helm's interpretation, the role that mentors plays in the education process. Mentors are "commitment makers," says Helms. They pledge their time, treasures, being their education, and resources, college and experience, to help the nation's youth succeed in school. Helms is offering college students who can spend an hour every week throughout the remainder of the school year a chance to be "commitment makers." Mentoring is a positive process that allows the mentors, as well as their protégés, a chance to gain from their experience together. Helms commented, "Over 98 percent of mentored students said they have benefitedfromthe program by increased academic achievement, improved self- confidence, increased attendance at school, improved attitudes and improved self-control. In addition, mentors are sometimes credited with helping students to stay away from drugs and alcohol."

My mother discovered this recipe years ago on a Bisquick box. It has become a cherished favorite of our family for years and it can be yours, too.

That makes the pie not only less filling, but also lower in fat than a typical pumpkin pie. You know what that means, ladies? No more post holiday starving and binge workouts!

Take my mother's advice and try out this recipe. You will not regret it and neither will your waist line. Happy holidays and enjoy our family's piece of pie. A Tastey Appetizer: Artichoke Heart Dip By MELISSA BUTTRELL For The Pride As everyone knows, Thanksgiving is a time to spend with your family but it is also a time for food. Everyone always stresses over what they are going to make for Thanksgiving dinner, but this is the trick. Here is a recipe for an appetizer to start your day off right. It is for Artichoke Heart Dip; it is simple and tastes great. And no one has all the time in the world to cook so this is good for everyone. But before you can start you will first need to get some ingredients from the store. 2 Large jars of marinated artichoke hearts 1 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 cup mayonnaise After you # have collected all your ingredients you are ready to begin. The first thing you will need to do is set your oven to 350 degrees. Drain and chop all artichoke hearts. Then put all your ingredients in a 9" by 13" glass pan and mix. Bake at 350 degrees for a good 20 to 25 minutes. Pull the pan out and allow it to cool. Do not forget to turn your oven off. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. If you are taking it on the road or to a house nearby, store it in something that will keep it warm. A nice carrying bag with a heating pad will work just fine. Your guests will be so impressed by the dish that they will think you slaved over the stove for hours, but I guess what they don't know won't kill them. Andrew's Apple Pumpkin Pie By ANDREW BEHNEMAN Vox The Pride The Best of Both Worlds here we are, the holiday season is on its way whether we like it or not. Thanksgiving is going to be here in aflashand then Christmas will be here before we know it. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves with the joy of Christmas let's not skip over all the incredible food that comes along with Thanksgiving. The aroma of the turkey is overwhelming. The moist stuffing and the buttery mashed potatoes sit heaped up in bowls on the table filled with cranberry sauce, biscuits, yams, and countless other sides. A must have for everyone's Thanksgiving is a pie of some sort. The most popular pies seem to be apple and pumpkin. Wouldn't it be great to combine both of those flavors into one pie? Well, we are going to do just that, and for all you cheap in Valley Center that makes the skates out there, we won't spend spread. The piecrust and yogurt over 10 dollars. can be picked up at any grocery store.

It will serve 7 to 8 people and is the final touch to any Thanksgiving Day dinner. The left over apple pumpkin spread has countless other uses. It tastes great on toast in the morning. It also goes well over oatmeal. My personal favorite is to pour it over a nice bowl of vanilla ice cream. �Get 2 FREE music C Ds and a $ 25 Bill Credit! J fepm togejfter.-^ Rock fogtìrtier.

Each competitor was given 45 seconds to prove him or herself as the most clever and wittiest rapper. Curtis Hansen, the genius behind the critically acclaimed LA Confidential, directed this film. Last Friday, Nov. 9, the controversial rapper, Eminem debuted in hisfirstcinematic role. Marshall Mathers plays Jimmy, a young white rapper living on "the other side" of 8 Mile in Chicago. 8 Mile is a reference Kim Basinger portrayed to a street that divides the social Rabbit's mom who lived in a classes in the city. "Rabbit," as trailer home with her daughter Jimmy is more casually called, and a man that Rabbit happened to go to the same high school with. Rabbit's mom takes him "I found it hard to get past back into her home after he and my own adoration and lust his girlfriend break up. However, her character is not emotionally for the star, Eminem" stable and finds means to shoot herself and Rabbit down. Mekhi and his friends, a group of young black men, frequent a particular Pfiefer plays Proof who is club in the less upscale area of Rabbit's closest confidant and town offering "battles," rapping Master of Ceremonies (MC) of competitions between two these battles. Another known people. The objective is to rap name would be Britney Murphey more eloquently than the other who plays Rabbit's love interest by means of mocking the other's Alex throughout the film. Although she is a background character, her role is essential in that she encourages Rabbit to go for his dreams and offers her beliefs that he has all the skill and talent to make those dreams a possibility. The audience later learns Alex has dreams of her own and does whatever she feels necessary to open a door to these dreams. Basinger, Pfiefer and Murphey offer solid co-star performances that complement the talent offered by Eminem. Personally, I thought the transition Eminem makes from a white rapper that many people hate, love or love to hate was smooth and honest He offers a character that struggles to get by working somewhere he would rather not be just to make ends meet, but also struggled with his own insecurities about whether or not he is good enough to make it in the competitive world of the music industry. Thisfilmdisplays inner conflict, conflict between enemies of the underground rap scene, and triumphs within personal relationships. this film and the fact that both the film and the soundtrack were number one on the charts this past weekend. I think the movie is over acclaimed by critics and I honestly have to assess that I would give the film anywhere from two-and-a-half stars to three stars for its attempts to meet the requirements of a satisfactory and complete film.

For fact, some of the later scenes those who have seen What Lies of the film are comical and not Beneath or The Others, a similar fitted for the die-hard scary eerie effect awaits viewers in movie fans of America. Origi- The Ring Plainly stating, the plot of the film alone is strange enough make you lean back in your chair and hug your stomach. Even after watching the American release, it was still interesting to see the differences in the original. The Japanese version uses much more spiritual and religious imagery than its renewal. Variant plot elements and an infusion of Japanese culture redeem the lack of horror accumulated in the original. Now you ask, is the original subtitled? Yes, and it does not distract the reader enough to make the movie unlikable. So yes, it is worth a look if you don't plan on being scared. If the opposite is true, you might want to check out The Ring showing in a theater near you.

Over two decades later, an entirely different crowd would be there two see an altogether different phenomenon. On Saturday, Nov. 2, 2002,1 was part of a sold out crowd at the Greek, but I wasn't there to see Neil. I was there to see one of rock-n-rolls most talked about bands - the Strokes 7- Julian, Albert, Nick, Nikolai, and Fab.

Mi maleta desapareció de la faz de la tierra en el aeropuerto de Tijuana y hasta la fecha, 5 meses después, no ha aparecido y dudo mucho que vaya a aparecer. Me quedé sin maleta y con una gran decepción para querer volver a México con esta aerolínea. Pero dicha aerolínea se quedo sin 4 fieles pasajeros y con muchos trabajadores ineptos que laboran en ella.

Si viajan por Aerocalifornia o por cualquier otra aerolínea, tengan mucho cuidado por que desgraciadamente esto les puede pasar a ustedes también/Y debido a tanta burocracia en México y a la falta de justicia, es imposible hacer algo para evitar que esto siga sucediendo. Así que extrememos nuestras precauciones al viajar con este tipo de aerolíneas irresponsables. Espero que este comentario les sirva de algo cuando salgan de vacaciones en estas épocas festivas.

These are just a few of some viewer's reactions likely to be generated by watching the film Dreamworlds: Gender/Sex/Power in Rock Video. The effects of viewing this 55 -minute film are far-reaching and long lasting. Dreamworlds, a 'simple' media criticism focusing on music videos, promises to be the most disturbing film you have ever seen. MTV actually threatened to sue the producer and narrator of the film, Sut Jhally. A letter was sent to Jhally ordering him to 'cease and desist' promoting and using the video. In a crafty altercation, Jhally was able to frame the matter such that MTV received bad press on the issue, and so immediately ceased all pressure from MTV. (You know you're doing something right ALLENDE de la página 10 varios de los asistentes. .El evento que anunció la librería Martínez con mucho más de dos meses de anticipación, estaba programado para las 7 p.m., sin embargo, sin previo aviso y sólo porque la escritora se presentó mucho más temprano, a las 6 p.m., se dio inicio al tal sin siquiera tomar en cuenta al público que llegaría a la hora establecida.

Martínez se preocupó por motivar a la gente que estaba formada a que compraran los libros de la escritora, diciéndoles, "gracias por venir y por comprar los libros, la línea va a avanzar rápido porque nosotros ya sabemos como hacerlo." Esto sólo me hace pensar que Martínez planeó todo junto con la escritora para que soíamente se realizaran las ventas.

The college did recognize Veteran's Day. The Veteran's Club and ASI sponsored an event outside the Dome. The Marine Band was here playing wonderful patriotic music. They also had the color guard and presentations for the oldest and youngest Marines that attend CSUSM. The club served cake, punch and water. Because of the Veteran's Club and ASI, I was able to observe Veteran's Day, especially when they handed out small American flags we could wave. After the Marines were done performing, I was able to meet and speak to some of thè Marines that attend our campus. So you cannot say CSUSM did not observe the holiday, the tears in my eyes say yes and thank you. Dorothy Bruno LTWR Senior Today's Freshman, Tomorrow's Leaders: CSUSM's ELP Program How many times have we heard the phrase "Get Involved"? The Associate Vice-President and Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard and Coordinator for New Student Programs and Greek Affairs Julie Wright head the Emerging Leaders Program. According to the syllabus, the objective of the group is to explore, better understand, define and/or articulate the personal leadership process while increasing knowledge of University resources and how to [flippy Well John, , ~ Bfly^ it looks like the deadline for W^submissions to The Pride's L iterary S upplement' ' (the PLS) is almost upon us.

The Subject box should message say PLS, and the message box should contain the work's title Land the student's, name as well as his or her major and grade. The A ctualj work should be in the form of an a ttachment. The attachment should include the work's title but not the student's name, that way the judging will be fair. and beyond. Emerging Leaders is aimed at first year students to take part in a small, leadershiporiented class. It is very simple to join, sign up at orientation and show up at the first class. The class is voluntary and will hopefully be offered for credits in years to come. It consists of meeting one night a week for two hours and a weekly typed journal on a suggested topic. Poullard refers to this years group as the "dynamic dozen" and feels that "it is at the GORE of what they do in Student Affairs which is to 'empower students and to help them find their own voice. The program offers unique opportunities such as having a student/professor panel come and share their leadership experiences, joining private receptions like Jonathan Kozol's before his informative lecture at the California Center for the Arts of Escondido, and serving as a "base of support with other members," said Matt Curran. When talking with the group members about what ELP is, Colleen Lee quickly replied: "ELP is an awesome program that builds great leadership skills in freshmen. It helps us to learn who we are an^ how effective we can be as leaders." In addition to learning leadership skills, Caroline Rizk makes the point that "ELP is a way f or freshmen to get involved and build new friendships but it is also a means of discovering who we are and how the way we believe affects the way we live," Purpose, Controversy with Civility, and Citizenship. Students challenge each other in a highly supportive class that culminates with students developing their own Leadership Action Plan." People must be congruent with themselves before they can lead others. This class takes self-definition seriously by participating in many activities, journals, discussions and analyzing real life situations. The students involved will be much more aware of who they are and what they believe in by the time this class is over. "Most importantly though, the ELP is about helping students learn how they lead, and about assisting students in making positive s ociar change within their community," said Poullard. These youiig adults have had much experience on the basics of how to become a leader. The next step is to take action and make a difference on campus such as Orientation Team as many of these young leaders have applied and been accepted to. As freshmen, these students are given the opportunity to meet other freshmen and make the transition to college easier by meeting others with the same interests. The advantage of having a small group is that everyone knows each other by name, Stephanie Gaul jokingly added that "it's group therapy, when you need it" because there is mutual trust and respect at all times. Emerging Leaders Program is a positive atmosphere for students to further their leadership abilities and learn about different leadership roles on campus. Although it is fairly small this year, it will hopefully continue to expand in years to come. Jennifer Hauser enthusiastically stated: "This program is definitely an invaluable vehicle to obtain my future goals and endeavors. I would recommend this to absolutely everyone." This group appears close-knit and is "the beginning to a great circle of friendships and relationships. I learned a great deal of respect and love for people. It has strengthened my morals and self-realization," said Tiffany To.

Annual Tukwut Powwow cancelled On Thursday November 4, an open forum will be held regarding the CSUSM Police Department's procedures amid recent concerns following the arrest of a student. The forum will be from 4-6. p.m. in ACD 102. According to the event's organizer, Professor Sharon Elise, the purpose of the forum is, "to find out what kind of special training the campus officers have so that we do not replicate the problems of racial profiling and harassment that those in my discipline have documented among police generally in this country." The forum is being held in response to the October 20 arrest of African-American student Jason Williams on Campus Drive. According to Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard, Williams was pulled over by officers shortly after midnight for failure to stop at a stop sign. As a result of the traffic stcTp, Williams was arrested on felony suspicion of violation of penal code 626.10 which prohibits "any dirk, dagger* ice pick, or knife having afixedblade longer than twoand-one-half inches upon the grounds of, or within, the California State University." "I and several of my colleagues are upset by what we have heard regarding the details of the officers' conduct and the charges, based on our own very positive experiences with the student whose academic career stands threatened by this incident," said Elise regarding the arrest. CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis and Assistant Chief Woodard were unavailable for comment by press time. Citing legal reasons Williams declined comment at this time. University President Karen Haynes is scheduled to attend the forum. Professor Elise is hopeful that representatives from the NAACP and ACLU will also appear. According to Elise, CSUSM Police Chief Schultheis has been invited to the event but has yet to confirm.

Reasons for the cancellation of this year's event include lack of money and participation. The time change going into winter forces the sun to go down aroundfiveor six o'clock, so generators are almost necessary to have a true powwow. There wasn't enough money to power generators for this year's powwow. "The total amount of members has decreased by an estimated 50percent over the past couple years," said AISA faculty advisor E.A Schwartz. Student participation in the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA), the organization on campus that sponsors the event, Variety Photo courtesy of American Indian Studies Association. Illustration by Jason Encabo / The Pride Photo of Tukwut Powwow 2003. has also been declining in recent years. Schwartz says that the students who are still involved with AISA regret the Tukwut powwow cancellation this year, but that it was not a feasible task this year with the amount of people participating. A similar type of situation has been occurring at Palomar College. Recently they have had to cancel their powwow due to a lack of student participation. Cal State San Marcos Faculty mem- bers David Whitehorse, Bonnie Biggs and Schwartz were the originators of this festival in the early 1990's; the first official powwow was heid in 1992.

Initially, the Tukwut Powwow was a group of people sharing stories, thoughts, and ideas. It was originally called "American Indian Story-Telling." The powwows were prepared and presented by the foculty until 1999. This is when the students created the American Indian Student Alliance. The Native Studies program at CSUSM was recently developed in 2002. Biggs said that in the past these events were willed to happen, "because of love". She said it typically took about four to six months of preparing and planning to make past powwows go off without a hitch. More information about the American Indian Student Alliance or the powwow can be found at the AISA homepage at http://www.csusm.edu/ powwow/aisa/. it's going to change anyway. Sulpizio said that it is always important to stay honest with oneself and to make sure one trusts the company they work for whole heartedly, or start looking elsewhere for a job. Sulpizio emphasized that he "puts on his pants one leg at a time" just like everyone else. He said giving back to his community has always been at a priority for him. Sulpizio pointed to the $1 million donation Qualcomm made six years ago for the CSUSM library as an example. The contribution helped speed up the completion of the library for students. Students in the class seemed to enjoy Sulpizio as a speaker. "It was cool to see someone so humble and down to earth in that kind of position," said business major Lucas Dalager. Dalager said he felt that Sulpizio was the best speaker yet. Sulpizio started working for Qualcomm in 1991 and he retired from his position as CEO in 2001. Since retirement Sulpizio has served as a board member for Qualcomm where he recently hired international presidents of Qualcomm in China and parts of Europe. leadership breakfast held Professors Pillai and Kohles speak about presidential leadership BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writer Today as students head to the polls to decide who will be our president, leadership ability is one of the qualities they will be looking for in the candidates. Presidential leadership was the topic under discussion at the breakfast seminar titled "Charisma Under Crisis: Presidential Leadership Before and After 9/1" that was held on October 27 at 7:30 a.m. in the Field House. Rain could not keep 50 student, faculty, and community members from participating in the fourth breakfast seminar put on by the College of Business Administration and the Center for Leadership Innovation and Mentorship Building (CLIMB). This topic was discussed by the Executive Director of CLIMB Rajnandini Pillai as well as Director and CLIMB founding member Jeffrey C. Kohles.

Information presented was based upon student surveys, analysis of presidential speeches, and analysis of media coverage. Those in attendance seemed to enjoy the event. "I thought both speakers were charismatic, though Pillai's usage of comedy made her a little more charismatic on a student level," said CSUSM student and President of the Accounting Society Daniel Dollar. The seminar enticed a few local community members to get involved since it was advertised in local newspapers. "I've always been interested in the subject of leadership," said Marine Corps soldier Michael Taylor. "This is just another venue I've come to see the matter discussed. One of the first things you learn in the service is what it means to lead. But honestly, leadership is common to other areas. There are common principles that can be applied to any situation." Pillai was pleased to see members of both the university and community attending the seminar. "In a nutshell, we are trying to reach our internal and external community," said Pillai. "We are trying to accommodate their needs by getting good speakers and identifying student leadership. We're trying to offer training leadership programs to local businesses and we hope to have mentoring opportunities for students." CLIMB began offering the seminars last year. "What we would like to do is have one or two a semester," said Dean of the College of Business Administration Dennis Guseman. "They're really targeted for the local businesses, current students, and the overall community. We're very excited about CLIMB as a vehicle to reach out to the community as well as the university. I expect many great things to happen under the leadership of Dr. Pillai," said Guseman Guseman encourages the public to contact him with ideas about topics they would like to see addressed at upcoming seminars. He is also interested in getting more local businesses connected with the program and the college. Guseman can be reached by phone at (760) 750-4242 or via email at dguseman@csusm.edu.

It is something that many students do not consider because it is perceived as expensive and/or time consuming for those who are on strict graduation schedules. Cal State San Marcos sends about 13 - 15 students per year to several countries such as China, Spain and United Kingdom. Despite the costs there are benefits for students who participate in the program. "It sets you apart on your resume," said Study Abroad advisor Jan Stockey during last Wednesday's Study Abroad informational meeting. One of the most prominent programs offered on campus is CSU's International Program which offers a variety of 100 academic majors at 70 different universities spread throughout 18 countries. It is offered throughout the CSU system to give students the opportunity to experience learning in a different educational setting as well as learning a new culture. The program is a year long program that truly enables students to immerse themselves into a different culture. Often students will live on campus for one semester in order to familiarize themselves with different people and the different customs; then live off campus next semester. "People get nervous, 'Oh, I don't want to get an apartment,' but it's really simple," said former Study Abroad student Lily Chu who studied in China in 2003-2004. Several other study abroad programs are offered on campus such as the Exchange Program which allows students to "trade places" with other students from host countries such as France, Japan and the United Kingdom. Students of different countries are given a chance to switch places to learn about each other's countries. They have a choice as to whether or not they will stay for a semester or the whole academic year. Cal State San Marcos also offers summer study programs, which are short-term programs of four weeks. Students are also able to apply to other study abroad programs offered at other CSU programs as well as non-CSU sponsored programs. However, the program must be preapproved by CSUSM. Students studying abroad under an approved program receive full credit for the work. The application process for studying abroad is intensely competitive requiring a panel interview, 2.75 GPA (some may require a 3.0), specific course work, as well as an essay. Fewer than 1000 students from all 23 CSU campuses apply for these programs each year. CSUSM study abroad advisors offer a helping hand to guide students thorough the process. "We try to prepare you for the interview. We try to give you information in advance," said Stockey. Financial resources are available for students who are interested in participating. Most students who study abroad really enjoy the experience. "It's so much fun, I want to go back," said Chu* For more information on study abroad programs on campus visit www.csusm.edu/uga/studyabroad. htm. DEBATE, from page 1 President Bush's polices on Iraq, the economy, and the environment. "George Bush is an incompetent president and he needs to be voted out of office. He's misled this country into an illegal war. He's run up the largest deficit in the history of the world. He's got us on an ecological policy that has us on the road to disaster," he said. Bunch urged the audience to vote for Kerry by touting the senator's education and record of public service. "John Kerry is a career public servant. John Kerry is a deep thinker. He's openminded. A vote for John Kerry is a vote for the future," said Bunch Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Larry Greenfield, argued for the reelection of President George Bush. "The Bush doctrine said 'You're with us or against us in the war on terror.' Clinton knew we were going to need regime change in Iraq. You can't keep kicking the can down the street forever," said Greenfield about President Bush's foreign policy. He disputed assertions made by Bunch about the war College Democrats, College Republicans and PAN urge students to vote Three clubs, one election. No matter how much the views of the CSUSM political clubs differ, they all are promoting voter awareness and participation in this year's election. The three political clubs on campus are the College Republicans, the College Democrats and the Progressive Activist Network (PAN). Each club has done their part to increase the number of voters from the 18-26 age group by handling out flyers and setting up tables where students can register to vote. " "No matter what side you're voting for, my hope is that people our age will stop being apathetic. Because I think we're underrepresented and it's statistically shown," said Progressive Activist Network President Julie Bennington. Executive Director of the CSUSM College Republicans Nick Bonomi is optimistic about the results of recent efforts to increase voter turnout. "I definitely believe we (young voters) will be voting more in this election and it's mainly from Sept 11. If I had to guess, it's possible a 20 percent increase just from our generation," said Bonomi. The clubs have also promoted their political views about current issues to inform student voters. PAN and the College Republicans have been the most active clubs this year, sponsoring two debates on campus as well as the showing of politicalfilms. The College Democrats club is rather new on campus and is growing with the increasing number of student Democrats on campus. "I was approached by a few people this semester willing to actively participate in the club and really wanting to get out the main message to the students of the Democratic Party. We've taken a very public role this semester within the campus because of the need to really inform and educate the campus community of the election and what could happen with the outcome of this election," said President of the CSUSM College Democrats Dustin Lacasse in Iraq. "You're wrong, my friend, about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We found sarin and anthrax, and we found the missiles which could deliver it," said Greenfield. Greenfield also levied criticisms of Senator Kerry's activism during the Vietnam War as well as of his Iraq policy. "While our troops were being tortured, he (Kerry) met with the enemy not once but twice in Paris. Then he came and testified on thefloorof the US Senate and said that we were the army of the Genghis Khan," said Greenfield. "He now says he'll lead us to victory in a war he doesn't even believe in. I don't trust Senator Kerry." At 11:15 a.m. when the debate began, there were approximately 50 people who Students observe the debate. Clubs promote voter awareness BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Photos by Daniel Lowe / The Pride When asked which presidential candidate each club was supporting, responses primarily went along party lines. "Our club (College Democrats) supports Senator John Kerry because he supports more equality within the states and has more distinctive plans on the outcome of Iraq," said Lacasse Most members of PAN also support Kerry in the election. "Our club doesn't really support any candidate. We're comprised of a lot of different views. PAN doesn't endorse any political party/But in this year's election, the majority of our members support Senator John Kerry," said Bennington. The College Republicans are advocating the re-election of President Bush. "Our club obviously supports President George W. Bush because of his tax policy which would help the lower, middle and upper class people, he's rock hard as in he does what he says and he's a very compassionate person because he's a pro-life candidate," said Bonomi. showed up to watch. By the time the event ended around 1 p.m. the crowd had grown as many on campus stopped to watch the debate as they were walking by. The debate showed not only how divided Greenfield and Bunch were on the issue, but also how divided the audience was. Some audience members clapped enthusiastically for Greenfield, while others rallied for Bunch. A few in the audience had a hard time containing their response to speakers' statements. As Larry Greenfield was speaking a person from the crowd yelled, "You trust Bush? You're nuts." The heckler later identified himself as Mark Evereklian, an alumnus of Cal State San Marcos. "Some say it is wrong to interrupt a speaker while he is speaking, but I disagree. I feel it is wrong to sit idly by and listen to what both the speaker and myself know are lies. Anyone who dares stand at a podium should have a story that at least comes close enough to the truth that the audience will be able to stomach his rhetoric without having uncontrollable outbreak of unwanted rage," said Evereklian WANTED my* l l f 1 mh ! l# fill INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00 -$17.00 per hour Call.

For the love of dance and hip-hop, Jam Control offers a student club experience and as free dance lessons with a taste of soul all at the same time. Dance routines range from jazz to hip hop depending on the choreographers' styles. Thus far, the group has learned one routine per week, six routines since the beginning of this semester. The group was originally started by a couple of students looking for an outlet on campus. With their shared love for dancing, the group originally went by the acronym J.A.M. C.O.N.T.R.O.L (Justifying Artistic Movement Collaboration of New Talent Realizing Our Love) was given birth to in the spring semester of 2003. Now simply called Jam Control, the name represents the very essence of the group. Dancers from every step joined Jam Control to showcase the talent that existed on campus. Yet, like almost any other club on campus, the atten- Pfaoto courtesy of Jam Control Edgar Agapay, Phil Hunyh and other Jam Control participants work on a dance routine. dance just wasn't there. Luckily, the group was revived by RJ Omabtang, Phil Hunyh and Edgar (Doodz) Agapay who have taken the group to higher heights with their continuous support and enthusiasm. For some apparent reason, regardless of how exhausted they are, the dancers and choreographers still are able to cheer when they learn new routines. It's just amazing to see at least 25 individuals share such passion and desire to learn fresh steps. Yet, the routines can be a little intimidating, especially if you've never been in a dance troupe or your high school airband. "You can be a person who can't dance or you can be a pro, everyone gets love here," Agapay said. Regardless, the atmosphere is still welcoming. The sessions are always open for instruction and questions. The choreographers are willing to go over the routine to make sure each person is caught up. Eventually, the group hopes to kick it up a notch and perform or join dance competitions.

These are just a few facts to describe the devastation of the fires that took place last year, October 25-31,2003. The San Diego Natyral History Museum has put together an outstanding exhibit called "Earth, Wind & Wildfire." The exhibit utilizes objects, videos, photographs and interactive displays with the intent of educating people about the responsibility of living in a fire-dependent place. The importance of fire knowledge and fire safety was escalated last year. The curator of the exhibit, Dr. Anne Fege, has done a wonderful job creating an exhibit that is effective for all ages. There are interactive exhibits where children can put on costumes of native animals, a mural of the fire cycle, and an exhibit that adults and children alike can learn how to build a fire-wise home and even rate their own homes for fire safety based on the materials used in construction. Stunning images of our natural surrounding habitat line Photo by Jared Devore / The Pride the walls of the exhibit. It is reported that more than 2200 plant species and 490 bird species have been recorded in these diverse natural habitats affected by the fires. The exhibit gives us the opportunity to learn more about these affected species and knowledge about living in coexistence with nature where wildfires are a threat. Moving images display the sheer power and destruction of these fires. Images of communities burnt to the ground, breathtaking images from high above the burn areas and even original melted glass out of people's homes made into sculptures in remembrance of this event are a few things that you can expect to see at the exhibit. A main feature of the exhibit contains an enormous projection screen that puts the power of the fires into perspective. The quickness with which the wildfires spread last year is testament to the importance of this exhibit. Many students at CSUSM were directly affected by the fires and some indirectly affected by the fires with the cancellation of classes and the terrible smoke that permeated the sky. There is really something for everyone at the "Earth, Wind & Wildfire" exhibit which opened on the anniversary of Firestorm 2003, October 26,2004 and will run through October 2005. Three CSUSM students have taken the initiative to make a difference within our campus community. Julie Bennington, Sarah Leonard and Mark Weber are putting together a peace picnic for students, staff, faculty, and the community. "The peace picnic is an effort to increase peace and equality in our diversity," said Sarah Leonard. "With all the built up controversy our campus has undertaken, bringing back a sense of "With all the built up controversy our campus has undertaken, bringing back a sense of % serenity is just what we need" said Leonard serenity is just what we need. We want to promote peace and raise issues of equality, health care, gay marriages and genocides to inform and engage everyone's opinions." The peace picnic will feature speakers from different clubs here on campus. Each club will be speaking about current topics that are affecting our community. Because people interpret peace differently, getting a glimpse of what others see will broaden our horizons. "The goal is promote peace, and to understand the different interpretations of peace for different cultures," Leonard said. The International Club, Black Student Union, Progressive Activist Network, College of Democrats and Republicans, Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender and Women's Studies Student Association are a few clubs and organizations that will be speaking about different aspects of diversity, equality and peace. "We really want to break the barrier of being commuter school. We really want to reach out to the campus community," Bennington said. The peace picnic was originally scheduled on October 27 but due to rain it will now take place on November 10 in front of the Kellogg library grass field. Free food will also be offered during this picnic. This event is open to all students, staff, faculty and the rest of the community. CLASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30.

If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting him, his classes are very interesting. Schneider was born in Argentina, while his parents were on a missionary expedition. He spent his childhood in Billings, Montana. He lived in Montana until he attended Colorado State University to get his bachelor's degree and then master's degree in Sociology. After receiving his master's, Schneider made the journey to southern California to go after his Ph.D. at the University of Southern California. It wasn't always sociology in Schneider's educational path. He actually started as a pre-veterinarian student. He took an Introduction to Sociology class as an elective and knew right then that this was the field he wanted to study. He changed majors the next semester, even though this meant going against his family's wishes. Schneider has been teaching college students since 1980. While getting his master's at Colorado State, hefinancedhis studies by becoming a teacher's assistant. This is what sparked his passion for teaching. When he made the move to USC, he taught courses like Introduction to Sociology and Sociology of Sport as a medical student. After receiving his doctorate in sociology he began to teach at CSU Los Angeles. It was in 1993 that Schneider first became aware of CSU San Marcos. - After leaving USC, he remained in contact with the head chair of the sociology department. She told him that a newer campus was underway in a small community in San Diego. Schneider called Teresa Baker, a former chair of the San Marcos sociology department, to schedule an interview. The rest is history. Since his first day on the job, Schneider has remained in love with this campus. He has always believed in the CSUSM sociology department while sharing the same vision as the three chairs that he has worked with in his eleven years of service. The quality of students on campus has always impressed him because of intellect here on campus. He has taught at different UC's and CSU's, but believes that the intelligence on campus is as strong as any place he has seen. He loves teaching all of the sociology classes because they all satisfy a different niche. However, he feels that Sociology of Sport, Sociology of Violence and Death and Dying are unique to him. Besides Sociology, Schneider has other interests. He is extremely zealous when it comes to his Denver Broncos. He and his wife are very much into equestrian activities. Schneider likes jumping horses, which is called the Hunter-Jumper discipline. Upon his unplanned retirement, he hopes that he and his wife can spend even more time on equestrian. Being married to a vet, it is also no surprise that he has four horses, three dogs, two cats, one guinea pig and an assortment of fish. Another hobby that he really enjoys is cooking. What makes Schneider so likeable? Professor Schneider adds humor to his lecture. It's the fact that Schneider narrows the gap between professor-student relationships. How many teachers do you know who offer their home telephone number in case of school emergencies or just to talk about sports? Something he is very proud of is his continuing relationships with San Marcos students after they graduate. He What if likes to see how CSU San Marcos has shaped their lives and how the university has helped them become successful. Tm ?

BY KARLENE WIEGAND Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM's Cougar Athletic Program competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NAIA provides athletic programs for 57,000 studentathletes that represent 333 institutions. Cougar participation marks a national arena for CSUSM athletes. CSUSM anticipates fielding competitive athletic teams for years to come. The athletics program at CSUSM has various club teams, but currently CSUSM offers three intercollegiate sports with both men's and women's teams: golf in the fall and spring, cross country in the fall and track and field in the spring. Student-athletes will compete in golf and track and field, traveling to competitions throughout the region and hoping to repeat and improve upon national successes from last year. Last year, the men's golf team received fifth place nationally and the women's team received tenth place nationally. Track andfieldis doing just as well with many athletes being named Ail-American at NAIA nationals. CSUSM offer scholarships for these intercollegiate athletes and hopes by expanding the athletic program, more scholarships will be offered attracting student's athletics to CSUSM. At this time, a decision has not been made on which sport will be added next to CSUSM's intercollegiate athletics program (NAIA), but several are being considered. However, the expansion of sports programs revolves around many key factors including sustainable funding and availability of onsite facilities. The athletics program is committed to offering lifetime sports to students and offers club team sports for equal participation. The following club sports are being offered from expansion: soccer, swimming, tennis and volleyball. The NAIA league selects schools with high commitment to academics as well as competitive athletics. CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR DRINKING? ¡f^HH ì fit MUSIC HOUSE Are you 21 - 65 years old?

Bush BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer BY HEATHER HOFFMAN Pride Staff Writer can't even imagine what our world would be like if Bush is re-elected and nothing changes. We have made a mess in Iraq. I don't expect things to get better immediately but I feel that Kerry will begin to clean things up. Kerry will start fighting the war on terror as it was intended to be fought; against terrorists, not oilrich countries. He has promised to change the way the rest of the world views America and rebuild relationships with allies that Bush has destroyed. We are living in an industrialized country that doesn't even provide basic health care for its citizens. I believe health care is a right every American is entitled to and that it is possible to keep quality health care and still make it accessible. Kerry has a way to cut the costs of premiums and prescription drugs and developed a healthcare plan that will be available to everyone. As a woman, I feel choosing Kerry was important, because he supports women's issues as well as the right to choose. Although I may never choose to exercise most of my rights, I don't think it is the government's responsibility to take them away from me. Kerry also believes in protecting woman's health rights and closing the pay gap. It's been forty years since the civil rights movement and I think the current administration is working hard to undo many of the things the movement accomplished. For example, Bush ended affirmative action which not only benefited minorities, but also women. Kerry understands the benefits of affirmative action and will most likely reinstate it so that everybody is given a fair chance. Bush is also trying to instate a constitutional amendment that will prohibit gay couples from having any rights. We cannot allow an amendment to be added that would promote discrimination and intolerance. Kerry supports domestic partnership which would allow gay couples, rights similar to that of a married couple. The Social Security system is in trouble, and although Bush has a plan fix it, Kerry wants to change the system and develop something that will actually exist when I need it. I feel that Kerry is aware of the problem and will insure that I will benefit from a system I've been paying into my whole working life. Kerry also has a unique approach to the 'war on drugs' that will change the way non-violent drug offenders are punished. The current punishment is jail, but Kerry believes that prevention and treatment are a much more effective way to stop drug use. By treating drug offenders first, prisons will be less crowded and there will be a decrease in the number of repeat offenders. I believe that voting makes a difference, which is why I voted for Kerry because I believe he will change things. for the foreseeable future. I believe that Bush and his cabinet have much more experience in dealing with the Middle East, and have a much better chance of sons. This is not to say I creating a sovereign counam a diehard Bush sup- try and democracy in Iraq. porter, rather it is my feel- I don't feel that Kerry has ing that Bush edged out a strong enough commitKerry for the following ment or character to handle reasons.

Bush has proposed an energy program that if passed by Congress will lower our future need for oil. Also by making energy an issue, Bush is addressing the Corporate A verage Fuel Economy ( CAFE) to improve gas mileage in SUV's, vans and trucks. Republican or Democrat, nobody could have predicted the September 11 tragedy that killed thousands of people and crashed our economy. It's been a long and tedious job to improve our economy, and if you look at the numbers, we are improving. In the past year, our gross domestic product (GDP) has grown almost 5 percent. In just over a year, 1.5 million jobs have been created, and the national unemployment rate is at 5.4 percent which is below the average of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. When it comes to Vice President Cheney, I feel he is very intelligent and has more experience in business and foreign affairs than Kerry or Edwards. The Bush cabinet as a whole, in my opinion is strong and I feel they will provide excellent counsel to Bush in this very stressful and dangerous time in our history. In particular, I feel Bush and his cabinet are more capable of protecting America's homeland, and have more potential to resolve the problems in Afghanistan and Iraq. In writing this, I know that the majority of students on campus are probably for Kerry. I think that's fine as long as you vote. What I don't like is when people regurgitate Michael Moore or Fahrenheit 9/11 and can't come up with other reasons to vote for Kerry. The year 2004 has definitely been the year of bashing Bush, and bash away, as long as you have solid reasoning as to why Kerry would be better.

With what sensational media may dub as "Rainstorm 2004" underway, I was stuck in my room. Soon, I was stuck in my head. I was cleaning out the old memories, cobwebs of ideas that I started and gave up on, dissecting old boyfriends, and soon enough, I stumbled onto the pile of pet peeves that I swore I would never drudge up again. As far as the rain goes, I've no complaints, except that people tend to "wear" the weather. It's raining, yes, so I suppose the scowl is all apart of the galoshes and scarf ensemble, no? Whatever happened to splashing and enjoying what is a southern Californian rarity? One rainy morning, I decided that I had to go somewhere, regardless of the weather and I came across another pet peeve I have: people who lose their keys. My friend, a CSUSM graduate who is, in many respects brilliant and responsible, loses her keys as if every time she does, Brad Pitt kisses her and an angel gets their wings. It happens so much that I do believe I black out a little bit. I feel as if I'm Richard Gere in the movie Unfaithful. I say nothing the first time I hear the faint whinny of "Where are my keys?" as she sifts through her purse, shaking it, moving change from one side to the other. I mumble the words, "I'm not feeling well." I just hope that there are no snow globes around because. I dislike people losing their keys every time just that much.

Our two Editors-in-chief don't trust the writers to do research, sniff around and find letter from the editors Dear fellow students, faculty and administration, The Pride would like to thank each and every one of you for voting today. No matter what party you subscribe to, Republican, Democrat, Independent, etc., or no matter how flawed you believe our election system is we are still very fortunate to have the opportunity to vote. Whether you cast your vote f or the incumbent's certainty, or the candidate that claims "Help is on the w ay" or f or Nader, your vote does count. So now that the votes our votes are cast, we can start the clean u p process; ie. Removing stickers from our vehicles; taking signs off our front lawns; and washing away the chalk. Let's all get back to normal. Please give your hippie-liberal or your rightwing-Hummer-owner neighbor a big hug. So thank you, f or participating our wonderfully free election, The Pride Editors. Election worthwhile stuff to write upon. They don't trust them to be journalists. I suppose I don't blame 'em, I wouldn't trust anyone to find a worthwhile story by Thursday afternoon that's gonna be relevant on Tuesday's print. Hold on a tick! Maybe, that's the problem. Why oh why do our writers get less than 48 hours to turn up a story, and our editors get 64 hours to put the paper together? That's counting lA of Thursday, all of Friday through Sunday, and a sliver of Monday. Don't get me wrong, I know splicing this puppy and gettin' her ready for print is a tough job. Jason Encabo is our only layout designer (and he kicks ass), but there's gotta be something we can do. When we end up with beam signing, I don't blame the people on the frontline, unlike the former Mayor of New York. I blame the Generals. Mike and Elizabeth need to get off the horses and ask the writers what can be done? A brainstorming session might help, or a more inclusive atmosphere for writers' ideas.

Too bad, so sad I've only had one of the discontents write to the Pride, and after asking him to print his letter in this paper (I was very nice about it), he chickened out.

As proof positive of the irrelevance of the 'news,' I was informed in my evaluation that "some readers say [the] Ombudsman column is the first thing they read." I'm flattered, and saddened. All I do is write about this newspaper, I ain't one of the people who make this a newspaper. The heroes that are subjected to carpal-tunnel are the names under the heading 'Staff Writers.' My name ain't amongst 'em. And they should be the first ones to be read every time. But, even with good writers, who wants to read about events that have less people show up than are in some classes? Please mon'generals, do something. Make the news newsworthy. On a side note, in that same evaluation I was informed that my "use of slang, colloquialisms, and aggressive criticism" are what some people don't jive with.

Case in point - the manipulation of public opinion by Fox News. If these lies were spread by the CRs and they go unpunished, what is to stop them from lying again? And what's more loving, the parent who never punishes a child's transgressions, or the parent who disciplines a child to teach them that intentionally lying for political gain is not within the parameters of acceptable social conduct? Whether or not the CRs spread these lies, the important thing to remember on Election Day is that these lies were spread by Republicans. Think about this! All we've been hearing from Republicans this year is that Kerry is a liar who will say anything to get elected. Apparently two can play that game. This begs the question, "Who's telling the truth?" Obviously not Bush propagandists at CSUSM. Here's another thing to chew on. Who owns the organizations feeding you, "objective news?" Liberals? I wish. No, very rich, very white, very conservative men (www.fair.org). What's their agenda? To perpetually increase profits. How? By sticking to just the facts and talking about policy specifics? No. By employing hyperbolist spin doctors who tell you what to think in between commercials by reiterating trivialities like how likeable Bush is ad infinitum until everyone stops thinking about real news like the growing deficit, environmental destruction or how corporations are dictating government policy to their benefit and the average citizen's detriment. If you want to live your life as a dupe keep believing the talking heads. If you believe truth matters - think for yourself. And when you vote, remember one other important piece of news. Bush lied - and people died (and are still dying)! Erik Roper (eroper@owl. csusm.edu) Alumni, Class of 2004 Dear Pride, Students, and Faculty, In the last few weeks we have had a problem with what I call the vandalization of our school by the right. Bush supporters and anti-student organization activists have been plastering and chalking up the school with bogus messages in a desperate attempt to win your vote. By the time most of you will be reading this however, most of you will have voted. This action taken by the Republicans to spread their message is weak, immature, destructive and out right nasty. I respect people's right to their freedom of speech, especially when questioning school policy, but tagging the school is unacceptable. When PAN, WSSA, College Democrats, faculty and students had a problem with the Michael Moore issue we didn't vandalize the school. We spoke out using the only platform of free speech we had left in this school. (Free Speech Area) I see a deep political slant in this school when action like these remains unpunished and there is little effort to clean up the mess. I thank Mother Nature for the help in cleaning this mess made by the "W street team." Unfortunately we the people are always forced to clean up the mess the right makes, whether its foreign policy, the economy, values, almost anything. We as mature adults must speck out against these types of actions. The action taken by these the "W-street team" is illegal. There are certain ways and means to get permission to chalk or put up flyers. All one has to do is go to Student and Residential Life (SRL) and fill out some paper work. It's one thing that this action is vandalizing the school; however the serious violation is that this action is illegal. If we don't catch these vandals what's to say they wouldn't tag the school like gangs. As mature adults we are better than that, and I hope the College Republicans denounce this behavior. If they know who did this, I plead that they please give the information to the proper authorities. I call on all students,' faculty, and administration to condemn this action. Some student Republicans have gone on record calling actions like these satire, jokes, or politics. "Get over it!" Say what you want, this is vandalism and it cost the school money. Money that can be used to help you the students get better classes and achieve a higher learning. I will not stand by while other groups get punished similar behavior that is minimal compared to last Mondays attack. What ever you, as readers' think of my option, don't forget to Vote November 2nd if you haven't already. Felipe Robinson Zañartu Internal VP, Historian, PANews Progressive Activist Network I just wanted to comment and respond to the "Vote Bush" graffiti that was all over the school this past week. I personally can not stand President Bush and to be truthful I actually look down on the people who want to vote for this moron but I want to commend these people, whoever they maybe, for taking the actions that they did. I know the school must investigate and prosecute to set an example for futures occurrences like this but I do not agree. Did the people really graffiti anything permanent? It looks like this week's rain might be enough to clean it up. Is it wrong to have a real passionate protest at campus? We know the school won't allow anything real or inspired. They put a square around an area and say you can do this there and do that thing here and if you do it this way we can't allow it and on and on. It made me happy to see this protest.. .this flamboyant attack on the democrats of our school. At least there was some fire in the hearts of some of the students that attend this school. We are the living dead around here. There is no real excitement anywhere at anytime. I know, I know, what is there really to be excited about on a campus where the buildings are as colorful as milk, the people leave as soon as class is done, and the most exciting thing we have is a stupid clock that has the wrong Roman numeral on it? Well I like to blame the school for making sure that everything is safe and boring. Everything is not meant to be ok and I think everyone should start to realize that. People are different and have different views so let them express them. We should have stuff like this week's graffiti and school pranks. We need life to breathe into this campus of ours. I want to give congratulations to the people who wrote the Bush statements and I hope you get away with it (but I hope he still loses). Finally I want to urge students to take a stand against the bland and act out sometimes. Sincerely, Weston Rogers free speech zone). The College Republicans (headed by Nicholas "W" Bonomi) organized the rally. That is calm compared to what just happened a day before the debate between Commander Gerald Bunch (of Veterans for Peace) and Larry Greenfield (of the Republican Jewish Coalition) started. When I walked around campus on Tuesday morning, I saw proBush chalk graffiti etched around Chavez Plaza. I was told that there were pro-Bush signs littered around campus, some on the LGBT poster by Founders Plaza. It was offensive to PAN, the College Democrats, M.E.Ch.A. (they will go ballistic when they see what happened to Chavez Plaza) and the LGBT club. When PAN did the anti-police brutality protest with chalk drawings, they were erased in thirty minutes. Nobody did anything about the pro-Bush graffiti. Also, the pro-Bush graffiti was scattered around campus, having invalid statements like "ASI for Bush". As a man of respect, I cannot point the finger on the College Republicans. It could probably be some pro-Bush splinter group that has more zeal than the CR. Who knows? We'll see what Bonomi has to say about this. Ken Lux CSUSM Senior, Visual Arts Major & PAN supporter Some have suggested these lies were the work of the College Republicans To The Students, (CRs).

Man, I tell ya it would be the best seller" -Jay Z That quote sums up the experience of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" perfectly. The latest installment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise has hit shelves all across America and has given people, like yours truly, another excuse not to go to class for a few days. Anticipation was at an all time high in the months prior to its release, heck I even had to go to a couple of different stores just to get a copy (thank the lord for Target!). Normally within the video gaming subculture, when a game is highly publicized and anticipated, it usually tends to suck. The good people at Rockstar Games and Rockstar North have created what could possibly be one of the greatest games ever. "San Andreas" is roughly five times the size of the last game, "Vice City", and has three cities to roam instead of just one. There is the San Francisco based city of San Fierro, Las Venturas is a clone of Las Vegas, and Los Santos is modeled after the city of Los Angeles. The game is set in the early 1990s in the California based state of San Andreas. You play the game as Carl "CJ" Johnson, a former gang member that headed to the East Coast five years prior to escape death and gang life in San Andreas. You are forced to return to your home city of Los Santos when you receive word that your mother has been killed. From that point, mayhem is only a press of a button away from your fingertips. Your first order of business is not to bury and grieve for your mother (what kind of game experience would that be?), but instead to meet up with your brothers and re-establish The Grove Street Families as the premier gang in Los Santos. You would think that all that is required of you is to shoot this or steal that, oh no grass hopper, there are more wrinkles in this game than an 87 year- old man. For the first time in the GTA franchise, your main character is almost human. In the game you will need to eat to survive. Big deal you say? Well if you decide to chow down on burgers all the time then Carl will get fat, and I mean noticeably fat with a bloated face and body. So how do you remedy that? Just like in real life: you head on down to the gym and work it on out. Not just one workout in the gym is going cut it either. Depending on how big you are, it could take you three of four visits to the gym before you turn into a thug complete with prison muscles. Another twist put in the game is the addition of purchasing full wardrobes and hairstyles. Buying different clothes, getting different hairstyles, and working out, all contribute to your Stamina, Power, and Sex Appeal bars. The game is so packed with objectives that I can't possibly name them all, so you will just have go get a copy (if you can find one) and experience all the things that your parents told you not to do. universities all over the country.

After fifteen years of trying to be a normal family, Mr. Incredible is summoned to duty by a mysterious source. Itching for action, Mr. Incredible takes the dangerous assignment to try to regain the superhero life he misses so much. This secret assignment sends Mr. Incredible to a remote island where he realizes that his life and his family's lives are in great danger. Back at home, Mrs. Incredible is not very happy that her husband has gone on a dangerous mission without ___ her consent. She goes after him, and then realizes that her two kids have come along for a dangerous ride. After the family reunites, they must work together as a superhero family and rediscover their true powers to save their own lives and the fate of the world.

Over the past five years, tuition has increased in the CSU and UC system by 94 percent and 84 percent, respectively. For lower, working, and now even middle class California students, a college education is quickly becoming afleetingaspiration, as many are being priced out of college. A new "groundbreaking" student movement could change all of that. California students made legislative history on Nov. 14, filing the first-ever student-led ballot initiative to freeze tuition in the CSU and UC systems. If passed, the initiative would suppress any further tuition increases for the next five years and would not permit subsequent tuition increases to surpass the rate of inflation.

During the brief plenary meeting on Nov. 13, the Trustees implemented an ad hoc committee to review last week's state audit issues on CSU executive compensation. The temporary committee will report to the Trustees during their Jan. 22-23 meeting in Long Beach. The Trustees also established a budget request asking Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for state funding for the 2008/09 school year. The governor will announce his proposed budget for the state of California by Jan. 10.

According to Valeria Fike-Rosales, a lead organizer for the group, Tuition Relief Now has compiled a database of over 1500 interested on-campus organizations, "creating a large volunteer base throughout the UC and C SU" "Because this campaign is volunteer-driven, we have really been trying to increase student organizing on each of these campuses in addition to reaching out to community colleges, high school students, parent organizations, and other community organizations that would have a vested interest in this campaign," said Rosales. Although the group has made an effort to reach out to the UC and CSU faculty unions, according to Vaeth, "they haven't taken a position." However, Vaeth maintained that there have been discussions with the two groups on the matter. "I think once this initiative is filed, it will start to shake out... where people place themselves in support of the initiative and then what they put towards it in terms of volunteers and resources. While the advantages to students are clear, Vaeth asserted that there is also a "corollary benefit" offered by the initiative. Anyone who signs the petition for the initiative must be a registered voter, a challenge that the group will meet by offering on-the-spot voter registration. As a result, Vaeth claims, "we anticipate registering at least 100,000 new, young voters. les, addressed the Committee on Finance saying "Faculty live Garamendi was quick to point with the consequences on our stuout the political underlying of such dents of your decisions.

Under the Higher Education Compact, CSU should see enrollment growth of 2.5 percent, which translates to approximately 445,000 students. However, CSU is expecting an additional 4,000 students in the 2008/09 year. So far, those 4,000 students are not funded in the budget, spelling out more financial trouble if universities do not receive additional funding from the state. The budget also calls for a three percent ($91.1 million) compensation increase for faculty and staff as well as a 2.83 percent increase ($86 million) to address faculty and staff salary lags. According to the California Postsecondary Education Commission, the CSU faculty salary lag is at 12.9 percent. "This budget request positions the CSU to maintaining access and academic quality," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "We are asking the state to fund enrollment growth, provide revenue to avoid an increase in student fees, and support compensation increases that will help the system make progress toward its goal of paying market-competitive salaries for faculty and staff."

Last Sunday, despite having a horrific second half, the Chargers managed to defeat the then 7-1 Indianapolis Colts in a brisk and soggy night at Qualcomm. The Chargers fortunes were not the same on Sunday, as they traveled to the east coast to take on the injury prone Jaguars in a game that had playoff implications for both teams. Jaguars quarterback, David Garrard started his first game in nearly a month, after coming back from a high ankle sprain suffered in their October 22nd game against Indianapolis. Garrard pleased the home crowd, completing 15 of 24 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns. The Jaguars put up the first points of the game thanks to a 48-yard Josh Scobee field goal. Jacksonville scored again with 40 seconds remaining in the first quarter as running back, Maurice Jones-Drew rushed for a one-yard touchdown. The Chargers scored their first points at Tuesday; November 20, 2007 begins with a question... ... and ends with discovery the ten minute point in the second quarter, on a-23-yard Nate Kaeding field goal. Jacksonville quarterback, David Garrard passed to wide receiver, Reggie Brown through the middle for a 36-yard touchdown, bringing the Jaguars lead to 17-3 at halftime. LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for six yards to the right for a touchdown at the beginning of third quarter, bringing the Chargers within seven points, only for Jacksonville to strike again, this time on a David Garrard to Marcedes Lewis oneyard touchdown pass. The Chargers got their only passing touchdown with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Philip Rivers passed to Antonio Gates through the middle for 24 yards. Jacksonville's defense held the Chargers through the rest of game, resulting in a 24-17 victory, knocking the Chargers off track, and leaving them questioning their future in the playoffs. The Jaguars are now 7-3 on the season. The loss brings the Chargers to a record of 5-5, however, they still remain in first place in the AFC West. The Chargers come back home next Sunday to face the 4-6 Baltimore Ravens at 1:15 p.m. on CBS. The 2008 CSUSM Student Research Competition!

O nline sales t his holiday s eason are expected to total between $45 billion to $50 billion, t his is a considerable increase in sales f rom 2006, in which totals reached $34 billion. The holiday shopping season spans f rom the middle of November, up u ntil C hristmas day. Shoppers are d rawn to online shopping mainly through the benefits of f ree shipping and the ability to locate the cheapest price on an item in a relatively short amount of time. Among the f rontrunners f or this holiday season's shopping websites are eBay.com, A mazon, com, Overstock.com, and Shopzilla.com. One of the most recognizable names on the internet is eBay. Since its inception in 1995, eBay, com has become a top ten website in A merica based on hits, eBay is unique to many of the other e -commerce sites, d ueto its use of online auctions that amass the m ajority of sales on the website. eBay is also unique in that the basis is for their service is to serve as the middle-man, connecting sellers to buyers, rather than directly selling products. Founded in 1994, Amazon, com was one of the first companies to sell goods on the web. Dependability and longevity o ffers A mazon users a sense of security. A mazon began as an online bookstore, and has since evolved to f eature a nything f rom music, to clothing, to b ulk g roceries. O verstock.com f eatures some of t he lowest p rices on t he web. Overstock sells s urplus, u sed and new items, and calls itself " your o nline outlet." Overstock's new items have b een said to set p rice s tandards, and are t ypically t he c heapest of any of t he m ajor o nline shopping websites. Shopzilla.com is one of the most u seful tools when it comes to shopping on the internet. Shopzilla, formerly BizRate, aggregates items f rom thousands of online stores to create one comprehensive search that allows users to find the best price available. Shopzilla c laims to "enable shoppers to quickly and easily find, compare, and buy anything, sold by v irtually anyone, anywhere." For some, there is no bigger t hrill than to physically hunt f or deals and fend o ff savage b argain hunters on Black Friday, but the f acts still r emain, e -commerce is on the rise, and it is showing no signs of slowing down.

Under the leadership of Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Associate Professor of Music, the two ensembles are looking to fill in their r anks with willing and able musicians. "We want to get as many musicians to come out and try-out as possible," said Dr. Imara. However, he also maintained, " "we want musicians who do have some experience." With the Jazz ensemble in particular, Dr. Imara emphasized, "although improvisation is a big part of [Jazz], but we do want people who can read music as well." Like any music group, interested candidates must t ry out and validate themselves in order to j oin either ensemble. Dr. Imara also noted, "it is a competitive t hing...it's not unlike the track team or the baseball team." While the group does demand a solid musical background, they are also looking to embrace a diverse instrumental arrangement. "We're looking for all instrumental musicians. It doesn't have to be a traditional Jazz ensemble, it can b e strings, it can be violin, it can b e any k ind of orchestral instrument." According to Dr. Imara, they plan to play at various j azz festivals, schools, churches, and two unspecified venues in San Diego. Students can also look forward to seeing the two ensembles playing in and around campus next semester. Interested students can contact Dr. Imara by telephone at (760) 750-8007 to arrange a try-out. The Jazz Ensemble meets in ARTS 116 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and the Vocal Ensemble meets in ARTS 111 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Dr. Imara urges those interested to contact him as soon as possible so they can begin practicing for next semester. �FEATURES THE PRIDE November is Native American Month CSUSM's Native population has a place to congregate and give back BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer The American Indian Students Association (AISA) is a CSUSM organization where students are involved in this months' celebration of Native Americans, as well a s activities throughout the year that celebrate and honor Natives in our community. As a part of CSUSM, AISA strives to educate students about Native culture and facilitate leadership opportunities for Native American students. The AISA is involved in cultural events and conferences at high schools and colleges within the community. AISA participates in Intertribal Alliances and organizes fundraisers for Native and non-native communities. The purpose statement for AISA is to "increase awareness and acceptance of American Indian Culture and to promote the educational experience of American Indians on campus by fostering a positive multicultural interaction both in and outside of the classroom." AISA provides spiritual leadership and spiritual events for Natives on campus. They have both a male and female spiritual advisor that students are welcome to contact for guidance. Most recently, AISA is organizing a fundraiser for a plaque to name Tukwut courtyard. The courtyard was renamed from Craven Courtyard to Tukwut Courtyard ear- lier this year and the AISA would like to provide a plaque to signify the name change. In cooperation with the Tribal task force, AISA is accepting donations of household items for the 29 La Jolla families that Jost their home in the recent fires. XlSA is also hosting a Thanksgiving Dinner for those families at Pauma Casino. People who are interested in making cash or household donations are encouraged to contact Claudia McCraine at mccra009@csusm.edu to make their donations. Check out the AISA's web site http://www.csusm.edu/aisa/ for more information on activities throughout the year to get involved in. The AISA is participating in are a sweat lodge and potluck ceremony in Alpine ori Dec 1. The potluck is a celebration of the Cherokee winter ceremony to "honor the long night's sleep of the bear." The ceremony starts at 3 p.m. and the sweat lodge at 4 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring a side dish or beverage and a stuffed bear to donate to local children. AISA will be joining in a drum circle in Norco on Nov 24. The AISA has many opportunities for students who would like to understand more about their own native culture or become knowledgeable of Native culture.

Major League Baseball announced a profit of over $6 billion and for fans outside of San Francisco, the baseball gods have spoken and the federal grand j ury indicted Bonds on one count of obstruction of justice and four counts of perjury based on 19 lies. The lies range from not knowingly taking steroids and lying about being injected with steroids by longtime friend and trainer Greg Anderson. Anderson, who has been in prison since Dec. 7, 2006 for refusing to testify to a grand j ury about Bonds, was released Thursday. Which brings up the question, is he finally going to speak? Being the conspiracy theorist I am, the first question I asked myself was if there was a reason why Anderson was finally released the day after Bonds was indicted? I feel that since the All-Star game was being played in San Francisco and Bonds on the verge of breaking the homerun record this past season.

The Bank credits Mexican food as an Old Town favorite BY JACKIE CARBA JAL Pride Staff Writer Choosing the right dining locale should never be a stressful event. If you're in the mood for traditional Mexican food and are looking for a little history with your meal, look no further than The Bank of Mexican Food in Temecula. Don't let the name fool you. This doesn't involve the exchange of chimichangas for burritos and food, albeit good food, is not considered currency in Temecula. The Bank is simply your typical 'hole in the wall' nestled deep in the heart of Temecula's Old Town Front Street. The building, constructed in 1914, served originally as The First National Bank of Temecula. After enduring a foiled robbery attempt in 1930, closure during WWII, and a short run as an antique shop, The Bank was refurbished into a Mexican style restaurant in 1978. Priding itself as the second oldest restaurant in Temecula, the newly remodeled eatery still maintains t he ambiance of the Old West. Guests receive nothing short of attentive service upon walking through the double paneled doorway of the quaint building with its high ceilings and Mexican art adorned walls. On a warm day, patio seating is available with the view of not only other Old Town buildings, but also a fountain waterfall. Upon seating, the server will bring out tortilla chips and dipping salsa. As tasty as it may be, take caution in filling up on this complimentary appetizer. Meals range in price from $3.45 quesadillas to $11.95 carnitas or carne asada. The menu offers combination platters of up to three traditional Mexican entrees for $8.95. If you consider ordering the El Banco burrito, I suggest requesting the salsa to a minimum unless you prefer soup in your burrito. The carne asada burrito is a great choice. If you prefer your burritos packed with goodness, make sure you fill it Photo by Jackie Carbajal / The Pride up with the beans and rice that come with the plate. Drinks offered include Old Town Bottled Root beer, Horchata and Margaritas. Each entrée comes with rice and beans and select entrees include The Bank's signature guacamole in a decadent miniature tortilla shell. The Bank's historical significance and one of a kind featuresguests have the option of dining in the exclusive bank vault-will stay with you long after the fullness in your tummy subsides. If you remember to limit your chip and salsa intake and keep your combination plate to a minimum, you may still have room for one of the three dessert options offered. Aside from the choices of flan and deep fried ice cream, the $2.25 churro definitely takes the cake(so to speak). Filled inside with custard and served with whipped cream, The Bank's churro is a far cry from your typical amusement park treat. With this restaurant as a destination choice, you needn't stop there. Old Town Street itself boasts numerous attractions such as old time photography, live entertainment, and nearby wineries. On weekends, The Bank offers an alluring breakfast menu with some entrees served all day. For a dining experience that matches food quality, The Bank proves to be the perfect investment. BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Kona Brewing Company brews Pipeline Porter in Kona, Hawaii. Father Cameron Healy and son Spoon Khalsa founded the brewery in spring of 1994. The brewery has three main brews: Big Wave Golden Ale; Longboard Islander Lager; and Fire Rock Pale Ale. The brewery brews other specialty beers and limited edition releases, such as Pipeline Porter. The brewery mainly sells in Hawaii but also sells to other regions in the United States, Japan, and China. The brewery also operates two pubs. Kona released their limited e dition Pipeline Porter on October 1st. 100% Kona Coffee comprises the porter along with chocolate and caramel malts. The porter won a silver medal under the "Other Beer" category in this year's Australian International Beer Awards. The porter's label contains a surfer with a longboard making his way to the ocean to ride some pipelines. Dark brown, light blue and dark orange comprise the colors utilized for the scene. The porter's orange bottle cap caps a beer with an alcohol by volume of 5.4%. The porter pours smooth creating a small tan head. Naturally, coffee aroma dominates the lovely scent rising from the glass. The porter has a rich black composition. The porter enters the mouth calmly. Upon entry, gentle waves of sweet chocolate and soothing coffee wash all corners of the mouth. The porter continues down the throat leaving the mouth, tongue, and taste buds in state of comatose. The brewery recommends paring the porter with hearty soups and stews, roast beef sandwiches, pot roast and mashed potatoes, especially on a cold day. Skip Starbucks on Thanksgiving and stroll over to Beverages and More for a delicious coffee flavored treat. Pipeline Porter's smooth chocolate and coffee flavors clearly make this brew the best beer of the week for this semester thus far.

Professors Jodi Lawston and Sharon Elise are leaders of the coalition and will be spearheading the event. The coalition is still in its beginning stages on campus and it aims to expose the inequality of prisoners in women's prisons. In 1995 the California Coalition for Women's Prisons began in the Bay Area when a lawsuit titled Wilson vs. Shumate sparked attention toward the inadequacies of the healthcare system for women in prison. Since 1999, Lawston has been involved with prison activism. Lawston is currently in the midst of researching women in prison, social justice movements, and resistance to oppression within the prison system. According to Lawston, nine women died in 2000 from wrongful deaths in a six week time span. Most of the women were in their 30s or 40s and died from such illnesses as asthma attacks, Hepatitis C and AIDS. Each of these women lived and suffered with the illnesses without knowing they were ill. After their deaths, officials found that the illnesses were explicitly stated in their files and that they had been denied of proper medical treatment. Following this situation, the legislator decided that something had to be done, but until this day, nothing has been accomplished in forwarding a better health system for women in prison. When asked why prisoners are mistreated, Lawston replied, "Prisoners are an isolated group of people, they're not heard about in the media, they're invisible in the population of people. The idea is that people in prison did something wrong so they deserved to be punished." Lawston added, "An average of 65 prisoners have been dying every year due to poor medical care." The improper treatment of women in Prison led Lawston and Professor Sharon Elise to lead the CSUSM chapter for the California Coalition for Women Prisons. Lawston says, "We are striving to raise awareness of the major problems and human rights violations that occur in the criminal justice system everyday; from racial profiling to the lack of adequate medical care. Like the mission statement of the main chapter of CCWP in the Bay Area, we want to raise public consciousness about the cruel and inhumane conditions under which women in prison live, and advocate for positive changes." Recently, a young woman, whose identity is being withheld in respect to her family, died in the Vista Detention Center. According to Lawston, "On September 19, she was pulled over for reasons that are still unknown." She was arrested and sent to the Vista Detention Center. Once in jail, she communicated with her family and told them she was receiving a blood test because she was suspected of driving under the influence of a drug. Due to her poor health, she was confined to a medical cell. The guard on watch could see her through the window in the door. Two days later, she began to hyperventilate. A few hours later, it appeared that she was sleeping in her bed. A few hours before she was pronounced dead, she was seen lying on thefloorof her cell. When her family met with the medical examiner, the examiner told the family that the result of her death would have to wait, pending the results from toxicology. To this date, her family still does not know the cause of her death. In remembrance for her death, the CSUSM chapter of CCWP will hold the vigil on December 2 at noon in front of the Vista Detention Center. Lawston says, "This made us realize that little work was being done in North County around prison abuse, and we have Vista and The California Institute for Women right in our backyards. We also have many students who have family or friends in prison. We wanted to raise awareness of this recent death, and on a larger scale, the abuses that go on in the prison system all the time." During the vigil, CSUSM's CCWP will be handing outflowersand lighting candles in her honor, and they will also present her family with flowers. Guest speakers will discuss the healthcare crisis in California's prisons and jails. Lawston says, "The knowledge that will be gained from this vigil is important because the degradation of human dignity in prisons, of our fellow citizens, reflects who we are as a society." !"

From PILOT PROJECT, page 1 "I agree personally that this specific executive order from the Chancellor's Office is something that benefits us in terms of our education for both students and administration." From CIA SEMINAR, page 1 stitutes a large number of CIA employees. This massive shortage in the CIA has lead to a hiring campaign that has also created new opportunities for the CIA. The CIA travels to campuses across the nation in hopes of hiring young, mature college students. The speakers for the seminar were Joe Dorcy, who recruits for the Clandestine Service of the CIA, and Michael Mow, who is head of the West Coast Recruiting Office for the CIA. "The primary mission of the CIA is to collect, evaluate, and disseminate foreign intelligence to assist the President and Senior U.S. government policymakers in making decisions for national security. The CIA is not a law enforcement agency and the CIA does not make foreign policy," stated Dorcy who wanted to clearly communicate the purpose of the CIA. Throughout the seminar a few key points were stressed by both Dorcy and Mow: the CIA is looking for students with integrity, maturity, motivation, the willingness to live outside of the U.S. or in Langley Virginia where the CIA Headquarters are located, and they are looking for students with traveling experience and fluency in foreign languages, especially Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Dari, and Pashto. The CIA offers a summer internship for third year college students. To enter the CIA Professional Trainee Program, students must apply nine months prior to entering the program and must be at least 21 years of age. Students who currently want to enter the internship have already passed the November 1 Coordinator at Cal Poly Pomona's Counseling and Psychological Services, Herzog 4s also highly trained in addressing sensitive awareness about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. An advocate for LGBT persons, Dr. Herzog's latest book is entitled, "GET OUT!" which deals with the sensitivity of the coming out process. In addition to the Human Development Research Conference, there will be a free preconference Mock-GRE event happening on December 2, sponsored by Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions. The Mock-GRE will be held in Commons 206. Checkin time is 9:45 a.m., testing from 10:00 a.m;-12:00 p.m. and the results will be given back at the Human Development Research Conference during the Kaplan session.

Pozner is a widely published journalist and media critic whose essays have appeared in anthologies such as "What Do We Do Now?" and "The W Effect: Bush's War on Womenl" She founded Women In Media & News in 2001 and is the organizer of the National Feminist Coalition on Public Broadcasting. Pozrier is also involved in many other feminist organizations and acts as a media critic regularly. Jennifer Pozner came to CSUSM with a mission to reveal what she felt may have been hidden from the citizens of our nation as established by a bias media. The discussion that she brought at hand was centered on media's reaction to Hurricane Katrina during its occurrence, as well as its affect one year later. She opened the discussion with a reference to the New York Times headline on the day of Katrina's one year anniversary, which read "A Year After Katrina, Bush Still Fights for 9/11 Image." Her fighting position about a bias media deadline and will have to wait until next fall semester to apply. The internship pays a proportional salary equal to that of an entering CIA agent. To enter the program, all students must apply online at the CIA website. A phone interview or a possible sit down interview will then be conducted. If the interview is a success then the CIA will send out a packet to the student. The packet includes SF-86 security clearance forms, financial forms and health documents. If the CIA approves the information in the packet, then the CIA will then conduct a polygraph test along with a physical and psychological evaluation. Mow said, "You must not have tried an illegal drug within one year and not have a history of financial irresponsibility," Mow suggested a few things for the is first recognized in her concern of those ultimately victimized by such a tragedy but were so easily disregarded due to a priority in the seemingly more important affect in politics. "Notice, there's no word from the times, by the way, as to whether the victims have yet to recover." claimed Pozner, as she further stated her case that the victims of Katrina have not received due recognition for their suffering. Further on into the discussion, listeners were reminded of the infamous racial controversy that our society has always seemed to return to under any circumstance. Pozner quoted captions of pictures from past articles during the hurricane;' questioning why "Blacks were said to have 'stolen food' from abandoned places whereas whites were said to have 'found food,' though it was the same'concept." She also quoted and criticized "The O'Reilly Factor's" Bill O'Reilly, and his comments, not only on race, but gender and politics as well. She then concluded her message with possible solutions that should, or can be taken, with high hopes that someday these solutions may just be put to the test; if only media would serve what she felt was proper and adequate information to the people at large. Pozner commented that CSUSM was one of the first campuses in a year to be willing to hold a discussion of such a controversial topic as is the media's take on Hurricane Katrina and politics in America. online application. "Take your time when filling out the application, copy and save your information because you will not be able to edit your information later on. The objective box which we read first is the last question on the application so make sure you fill this out thoroughly. Mention that you attended the CSUSM CIA seminar. Explain why you want to work for the CIA and why you feel you are competitive," said Mow. A career in the CIA has great benefits such as a 401K savings plan, a credit union, a work and family center, a child care center, annual and sick leave, life insurance, alternative retirement system, and great travel opportunities. Entering CIA agents can earn between $47,000—70,000 a year. Sign on bonuses can be up to $30,000 for people with specific foreign languages such as Arabic. All relocation costs are paid for by the CIA. Dorcy has two college educated children and a wife. He and his family have spent 60-70 percent of his 25-year career with the CIA outside the U.S., moving every three to four years. When asked by a student if CIA agents were allowed to have families, Dorcy answered, "Of course, 80% of the CIA has married; your family will be moved with you, your children will always attend the best schools, and your housing and living costs will always be paid for." Another student asked when they should start the application process. Both Dorcy and Mow responded simultaneously, "Now!"

A picture consisting of two UVA residents holding an open bottle of champagne in what is questionably University Village Apartments was submitted to UVA staff. This picture would later find those in it in violation of UVA's alcohol paraphernalia code. According to the involved parties, on the night they were drinking at the UVA, no incident report was made by any resident advisor, nor was there any form of complaint or notice of violation given to any party member. Twelve days later, the involved parties all received a strike from UVA Resident Director Ryan McRae after the Facebook pictures had been posted and turned in anonymously. With two more strikes, residents can be permanently evicted from the UVA. Also according to the parties involved, on October 13 each received a neon pink flyer stating that "they had received a package" at the front desk. The same flyer all UVA residents receive when they have a package in the mail that is too large to fit in their mail box informing them that in order to receive the package they must go to the front desk and sign for it. However, after arriving at the front desk to receive the package, they were informed there was no package and were all given a strike notice instead. When asked why residents received this particular flyer before they received the strike notice, McRae said, u We want to make sure the residents receive the notice." McRae described how last year the UVA staff would deliver the strike notices to the residents' apartments but when that particular resident wasn't home, the strike notice would never leave the hands of his or her roommate. "On the back of my letter was a black and white picture of me and my roommate and our friend holding a bottle of champagne. We weren't drinking [from] it; my friend was just holding it in [their] hand. My roommates a ll. Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride A SI board members discuss Prominence Pilot Project. got different pictures." Shortly after receiving the strike notices, a meeting with the UVA Resident Director was scheduled. Each of the residents held pending strikes against them and were told that they needed to schedule a one-on-one appointment with McRae. During the meeting, they were told that the source of the printed photographs was anonymous. "At the meeting, we all admitted that we had been drinking and we each received one alcohol strike." McRae said, "Sometimes we get envelopes in our box marked UVA and we won't know what it is till we open it. It's always from residents who choose to remain anonymous." McRae described that especially last year, the UVA directors experienced a huge influx of anonymous residents turning in other resident's photographs found on Myspace or Facebook accounts. " I would hate for students to lose an opportunity with a career to pictures on their Myspace or Facebook, pictures they wouldn't want to see out there." The undisclosed resident received a strike because they were underage and drank alcohol on UVA property. McRae says, "When the photograph captures a resident breaking UVA policy, then they will receive a strike. It works the same way if we see a picture of someone climbing out of the third story window. Basically, anything that could kill them." All resident's who receive a strike regarding alcohol must attend one alcohol class. The parties in mention received a strike because they were underage and they broke the policy stated in the UVA handbook. Under the Alcohol, Drugs, and Paraphernalia section of the UVA handbook, it reads, "We do not search for images of residents drinking, but digital images or photographs are useable for proof of consumption if it occurs on UVA property." The undisclosed resident also received a flyer addressing the alcohol class. The flyer is titled Alcohol Class and reads, "Location: Community Building. Bring a piece of paper and a pen. Good times. If you can't make it, you will need to write a 6 page paper on "The Dangers of Binge Drinking on College Campuses. See you there!" Below the text is an image of what looks to be an intoxicated man holding a bottle of alcohol. "This letter was not appropriate and it basically made fun of our situation," said the resident. When asked . about the flyer, McRae said, "I want to be fun about it. I know college kids drink. I get that. But this class isn't like traffic school. It's about being successful in school, it's about making healthy choices that won't have a negative impact on education. During the alcohol meetings^? residents share their experiences with each other. McRae says, "Students will learn from each other more than they'll learn from me." The resident also commented that "This doesn't make me want to live in the UVA again because I feel that instead of understanding that we are all at college and experiencing new things, I feel like I'm being babysat and every single thing we do is subject to punishment in any way possible. With this in mind it's obvious with the amount of freshmen and other students going to Prominence every weekend, that the students don't feel comfortable drinking at the dorms so they resort to going somewhere else where they feel they won't get in trouble." What i of protestors Armed with signs reading "Reed, Reed, give the people what they need" for example, the large gathering of CSU members took to the streets of Long Beach as a smaller group of enthusiasts entered the meeting itself to present a pledge called "Pledge for the Future of CSU" to the trustees. The pledge calls for lower tuition, the cut of all 'perks' for CSU executives and the allocation of that money specifically for student instruction, as well as compiling fair compensation contracts for all faculty and CSU staff in the future. Without being able to carry out their meeting, trustees waited in silence with the ensuing presentation of the pledge unfolding in the meeting chambers with protests still ringing loud outside. Unable to coerce the protestors to leave, the trustees surrendered and signed the proposed pledge and exited the building. Located on the CSUSM California Faculty Association's website, the President of CFA, John Travis saysi "Faculty members at every campus can describe the impact the bad decisions and misplaced priorities of this CSU administration has had on them and on their students: They are cutting campus budgets at Humboldt, Sacramento, L.A., Dominguez Hills, and East Bay, while they pay former executives millions for nothing long after they have left the CSU," further explaining, "It's not our nature as academics to disrupt meetings. But we have our responsibility to fight for our students, for the university and for ourselves and our families. That responsibility is what moved us today to send the Trustees running." Many faculty and students on campus at CSUSM shared this sentiment as 40 CSUSM professors and 25 CSUSM students participated in the protest. The impact of the spending made by CSU Trustees is great as the California State University system is the largest state school system in the nation. Enrolling more than 400,000 students each year and employing roughly 40,000 faculty and staff, the CSU system has and continues to educate Californians with its 23 campuses located all over the state.

The challenge was filed by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and asked the state courts to stop the state from enforcing Prop. 215: the proposition permitting the use of marijuana for medical purposes. In 1996, 55% San Diegans voted to support the Compassionate Use Act, Proposition 215, for the use of marijuana for medical purposes. The law requires counties in California to issue identification cards to medical marijuana users and also maintain a registry of people who apply for them. The law allows patients with AIDS, anorexia, arthritis, cancer, chronic pain, migraine and "any other illness for which marijuana provides r elief' to possess or grow marijuana in small amounts with the recommendation of a doctor. Since its passing 10 states have created similar laws to allow for the use of marijuana by patients and protection for them against prosecution. And recently, a poll taken by the Marijuana Policy Project, a pro-medical marijuana organization, found that 78% of voters polled in the county opposed the law- suit. However, one state, South Dakota, rejected a ballot measure last week that would have permitted medical marijuana use. San Diego County is one of only three counties in California that have opposed the proposition. San Bernardino and Merced County's Boards of Supervisors in January filed similar suits which were consolidated with the suitfiledby San Diego. The lawsuit argues that in accordance with the supremacy clause of the United States' Constitution, federal law is supreme therefore the existing federal laws prohibiting the use of marijuana for any purpose overrides any state law California has passed. Last June, in a case on a related topic, the Supreme Court ruled that federal authorities could prosecute crimes even in states like California. Nonetheless, the ruling passed down by San Diego Superior Court Judge William R. Nevitt Jr. took the matter under submission. This ruling tentatively struck down the County's suit after the initial arguments. After the tentative ruling, the County's lawyers gave oral arguments later that day, but again did not succeed in changing the mind of the court. The argument, given by San Diego lawyer Thomas Bunton, focused mainly on states' requirements to fully enforce federal laws. The California Department of Justice's ruling indicates that in the view of the court, they were not. The court's final ruling, which will most likely remain against the suit, is expected sometime in December. While county voters do not appear to favor the lawsuit, there is a good chance the County Supervisors may appeal the courts decision. San Diego County receives $4.3 billion dollars from the government, most of which are federal dollars. By not complying with federal law, the cash strapped county could potentially be denied that money. Lawyers for Merced County announced in front of the judge that the county would appeal the decision and would be requesting a stay for the duration of the litigation. San Diego County lawyers have not yet announced whether they will appeal the decision or not, and may wait on issuing a statement hoping that the court will change its mind for the final ruling. I Mfi* f JL . & - Hawaii mm * States allowing medicinal use �New doors opened by Gates W ith Donald Rumsfield's resignation, a new foreign policy is in place BY MARTIN GALA Pride Staff Writer The elections on November 7 proved that Americans are eager for change. Democrats reclaimed power over the House of Representatives by a comfortable margin, and managed to take back the Senate by only one seat. The Republicans loss of Congress allegedly led to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's resignation. While some students may be unaware of his resignation, it could potentially cause major changes in the lives of many students. Rumsfeld was a principal member of a small group called the National Security Council whose purpose is formulating the goals and objectives of United States foreign policy, and creating the means in which to obtain those goals. As Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld was in charge of managing the Pentagon which controls all military branches including the Marines, Army, Air Force and Navy. This means that his decisions affected the deployment of troops, including units stationed at Camp Pendleton, Miramar Air Station and other surrounding bases that many students and students' families are stationed at. In recent days, there has been controversy as to whether Rumsfeld personally resigned, or if he was forced out of the Bush Administration. The White House refused to comment about any actual details pertaining to the buildup of Rumsfeld's dismissal, but recent speculation amongst analysts indicates that the preparations have been on the minds of many high ranking officials within the Bush administration for quite some time. There were numerous advocates of the former defense secretary's resignation; First Lady Laura Bush, former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, and not to mention numerous high ranking Generals that publicly announced their dissatisfaction of Rumsfeld's leadership within the Pentagon. According to numerous political analysts, President Bush had been reluctant to oust Rumsfeld earlier because of their close relationship. The President's loyalty to the former Secretary of Defense held strong despite the growing amount of public criticism over the past few Photo courtesy of www.dod.gov years over his mishandling of the war in Iraq. Soon after Donald Rumsfeld was forced to resign, the White House announced that they had selected a promising replacement. On November 8, 2006 President George W. Bush nominated Dr. Robert M. Gates to be the next Secretary of Defense. Recently Dr. Gates was a member of the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan group co-chaired by former Secretary of State James Baker, and Lee Hamilton, a former chair of the House Committee on International Relations. The group was formed to help make recommen- dations to Bush on how to proceed in Iraq. These include decisions of whether to send additional troops, adjust deployment lengths or—even though highly unlikely—institute a draft. Robert Gates comes to the table with a vast understanding on international relations; he has served under six presidents, of both Republican and Democratic parties, and has years of experience on both the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency. Dr. Gates is currently the 22nd President of Texas A&M University, and will remain so, until he passes his upcoming Senate confirmation hearings. Many analysts speculate that Dr. Gates will bring a fresh perspective to the Bush National Security Council. After three years of combat, the Iraq war has cost the lives of a number of American troops, including family and friends of CSUSM students as well as members of the North County community. As the new Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates will be in charge of making decisions for the United States in Iraq, and try to prevent any further losses.

Many professors are excited for the new upper and lower division classes and what they will offer to students. This will increase the breadth of many of the language majors and minors and increase the level of understanding of the languages and the cultures behind them. In these courses, teachers get to watch students grow and develop specific language skills, perhaps utilizing their skills later on to travel the world. Through the Study Abroad Program on campus too, CSUSM students have the opportunity to enter language programs and travel to places like Japan and live there while continuing their study in school, furthering their grasp of the foreign language. For those students who are not interested in pursuing a degree or minoring in one of the offered languages, it is still beneficial to all students to be aware that many of the lower-level language classes can be used to fulfill the language requirement that is necessary to graduate. Students must complete a course or a test for the course in a language other than English to graduate. Every language major and minor has different professors. Each is also split up by last name so that someone with the last name beginning with 'A' will not have the same advisor as someone with the last name of 'Z.' Lucy Higuera, the Foreign Language Proficiency Assessor, is available to students who need more information about wanting to test out of the language requirement. More information on this and the language course completions can be found at http://lynx.csusm. edu/llc/graduationrequirement. asp.

I, one out of many other voices here at Cal State, would like to say that I love University Hour. I love the chances it has given me to meet new people and get involved with clubs around campus. It is my only free hour between class and work that I get where I can rest, be entertained, and/or meet with friends. Being a freshmen, I came here knowing no one and unfamiliar to the campus and what it had to offer. I was delighted to find I am a student attending your University, here at Cal State San Marcos. The reason why I'm sending you this e-mail is because I have heard that there are some disputes regarding maintaining in the future University Hour. Since I have been attending classes at this university from the year 2002,1 am very much aware that the presence of University Hour has been creating a better life on campus, as well as giving a chance to students to observe performance events, while taking advantage of free food opportunities. Furthermore, University Hour has been able to permit and people and groups available at a time where most people weren't in a rush. I find college to be a busy place, full of people hustling about to go on with their own business, and I feel that University hour gives life to the campus and a chance for students settle down for an hour. I think by eliminating Universtiy hour our school would loose a lot of life and connection. Thank you for listening to my concern. Christy Curtis allow students to participate more freely to club events (since I also participate to the Global Connections Org.), as well as encourage more social interaction among students. For these reasons, I hope that you will listen to this e-mail in which I endorse fully the presence of university hour on campus, and I hope that it will continue to be a part of my campus life (as well as of other students). Thank you for your time. Roxana Righetti University Hour provides oppurtunity to students for inclusion in campus community COMMUNITY: it's one of five of the Cal State San Marcos core values. One that LGBTA works to fulfill through our shared commitments to service, teamwork, and partnership. Some people have stated that they don't need University Hour, which is fine. What I find troubling is the assumption that everyone can do without it. It seems as though some of the privileged members of the student body take for granted what it involves to build community. In order to facilitate the benefits of "community," time must be set aside and collaborations nurtured in order to make "teamwork and partnership" successful. Some of us aren't born into positions of privilege. I have seen this privilege lead to a selfcenteredness that contradicts community. Be it the color of our skin, ethnicity, our age, a disability, our gender, or sexual orientation, those without privilege may not know of the resources readily available to support them. LGBTA's role is to educate the student body, especially those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allies, about how to find and use these resources. So, LGBTA will take full advantage of the opportunity to work with other student organizations on campus and create new partnerI II ships. I would like to thank ASI for their action on the behalf of student body for University Hour - without it some of us wouldn't know the benefits and advantages of being in a community. Each student I know on campus has a busy schedule and finds it challenging to manage the demands of learning, socializing, networking and planning for the future. Rather than saying "University * I Hour" is a waste of time or that it has interrupted the norm, consider what that one hour does for everyone. How unfortunate that some students simply attend class and leave campus. That single hour provides a new opportunity to most of the student body so they will not b e isolated from the communal experience that defines CSUSM.

He is on pace to break the NFL regular B season touchdown record, and countless other records by the end of his career. What you may not know, however, is that this humble man is capable of a number of other things that he refuses to brag about, so let me do the boasting for him. LaDainian is a magician. He could actually start a play at quarterback, drop back, throw the ball down field, and somehow catch his own pass for a touchdown. He might even be able to snap the ball and kick his own extra point LaDainian is an asset to team chemistry. He has certainly made Phillip Rivers' job a lot easier. He could probably even save Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's marriage, but I am sure he is like the rest of us and doesn't want the world to be inhibited by any more offspring than the two they already created. LaDainian is actually a multi-talented athlete. He is thinking about entering the Tour De France next year. He didn't consider entering while Lance Armstrong was still active, because he didn't want to beat Lance and cause any downslide in Lance's efforts towards curing cancer. LaDainian is a great scavenger. He knows how to find even the smallest holes in an opposing defense and then exploit it. Give him a flash light and a compass and he could find Osama Bin Laden before you could say Tal in Taliban. LaDainian is a conservationist. He knows that the mo^t important part of the game is in the second half, so he saves the majority of his touchdowns for crunch time. You know that hole in the O-zone? Well, he could fix it if he wanted to, but then A1 Gore wouldn't have a job, and L.T. is pretty sure Gore can't fill in for him at running back. LaDainian is also a politician. He knows that if one of his teammates screws up, he shouldn't throw him under the bus because he will likely need him in the future. In 2008, LaDainian would run for president, but he doesn't want the Democrats and Republicans to fight over which party he should belong to. So, rather than creating a further divide between the two parties, he has chosen not to pull a Tiki Barber, and has decided to continue dominating the rest of the NFL. LaDainian is an explorer. Jacques Cousteau had nothing on L.T. He is going places that no other running back has ever gone before. He has discovered a way for humans to build a civilization on Mars, but he also knows that aliens exist, and he doesn't want to start an intergalactic war. LaDainian is a detective in his spare time" as well. He has solved even the toughest defensive schemes in the NFL. He could even rid the United States of all crime, but then thousands of police officers would be out of jobs. LaDainian is a scientist on his off-days. Photo illustration by David Gatley / The Pride He has cooked up plays on how to score by catching, running, and throwing the ball. He» has also perfected cloning on human beings, but the government wont allow him to make it public, for fear that if L.T. cloned himself then the world may implode upon his greatness. The only thing left for him to do is to bring a Super Bowl championship to San Diego, which from my experiences may be the one thing thai no one can accomplish.

Program Coordinator Marsha Gable, Fallbrook High School student Stephanie Opatik, her parents, and UB alumnus/CSUSM undergraduate student Anthony Lastrape, spoke on behalf of the Upward Bound program for the discussion. Radio host and interviewer Ken Leighton was described by Gable as "very supportive, interested, and excited about the work we do for 55 kids in North County." Although the UB segment was broadcast on a Sunday, the actual interview was pre-recorded on Thursday night, November 11. Peter Miranda, a s tudent at El Camino High School, arrived too late f or the "North County at Large" show but just in time for a spontaneous live broadcast. At 8:00pm, the Upward Bound troupe were recorded live for ten minutes on AM 1000 (KCEO). Gable said she was "nervous," but the experience was "fun and successful."

Phantom of the Opera Film: James Bond Dogma PRIDE EDITOR The Great American Smokeout, an event that encourages smokers to quit for the day (and permanently), was celebrated at CSU San Marcos on Thursday, November 18 in Founder's Plaza. Peer Education and Support (PEAS), an official d ub on campus, had coordinated the event and invited Kaiser Permanente, Palomar Pomerado Hospital, and UCSD to the cam-' pus. The organization of nine students, which includes PEAS Peer Educator Karyn Harmon, oversaw the organization of tables and distribution of information and literature. "We've had a lot of people stop by - a lot of smokers and a few people who have quit for the day," stated Karyn. The American Cancer Society provided pamphlets, flyers, and banners for the Smokeout. Their videotape "Advertising: How Does it Rate?" played on a television monitor and showed 14 different no smoking commercials and ads that were funded by the state of California. Although unable to attend the event, UCSD Medical Center supplied CSUSM with "You Can Take Charge" cards that offered a I-8OO-NO-BUTTS smoker's helpline. A giant cigarette constructed by the PEAS members blew a stream of smoke to crowds of passing students while smokers and volunteers alike met face to face over help materials. During their free noontime barbecue in front of the Dome, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) sent students to the Smokeout event by advertising signs for free drinks up at the Smokeout table.

Hasta la victoria siempre (Until victory, always)," last Saturday, November 13th, CSUSM MEChA held its 2nd High School Youth Conference. Students from San Diego State University and over 50 students from high schools came from' all over the North County of San Diego, including San Marcos, Poway, Fallbrook, and Vista. The conference, first held two years ago, focused on education and.political/community activism as a means to motivate students to continue in their studies in the university. This objective was promoted by student speaker Flora Aguina, as well as keynote speaker and community activist, Ismael Avilez, who is currently heading an organization of parents struggling to get a bilingual and adequate education for their children in the school districts. Along with motivational speakers, the event provided workshops for the students such as "The Chicano Movement" (which covered the Chicano Movement of the past and what it is today); "Raza in college" (a workshop that allowed f or the high school students to learn about college life from See MEChA Pg.

The teams sorted paper goods, recyclable plastics, and aluminum cans into large piles for future recycling. True trash, like "icky" food waste or unrecyclable plastic, was disposed of in trash cans located to the side of the event. For the most part, however, the trash collected from the university was made up of recyclable items. The half-hour long event resulted in a visual reminder to recycle, rather than throw away.

Participants in the Dumpster Dive fueled up before the event with a free pizza lunch, provided by Facilities.

It is time for someone to voice dissatisfaction with the administration of CSUSM, The Pride, and the entire Cal State college system. This past Thursday 11-11-99 was Veteran's Day. There was nothing about it in the newspaper. There were no planned activities by the administration. There wasn't even an acknowledgment by the school in any way to honor the veterans except for the appearance of a few students wearing items that identified them as veterans. It is disgraceful that the Cal State college system has as its policy one that refuses to acknowledge the most multi-cultural organization in this country- the United States military. This is especially true f or CSUSM, which prides itself on being founded on multi-cultural principles. Nowhere in this country is there an organization more integrated in gender, ethnicity, and wide-ranging belief systems. There are three flag poles in front of the campus, two are always flying a flag. Hie third stands empty the majority of the time, Would it have been a harmful gesture of respect for the administration to have flown a POW-MIA flag from this standard in recognition of the service of veterans? There are a number of veterans at CSUSM who are students. I 'm sure there are a number of faculty that are veterans, though for some reason they don't wish to acknowledge it. While most other groups have their special celebrations and designated awareness days, weeks and months, and the system ensures that these are advertised and supported, the veteran has one day a year designated to honor her/him. It is shameful that the CSUSM administration is so blatantly neglectful. Remember, without the veterans, none of you would have this campus, your educational opportunities, nor your job. I was very happy to see the prompt response by the University Store. I think this demonstrates how our administration seems to have a genuine concern about this important issue of labor rights, However, I was hoping that the response would have been more specific. Respectfully, R. D. Hawkins Dear Editors: In response to your Editors' Response in the last issue of The Pride, I believe it is important to clarify some errors that your staff had made while addressing the College Republicans. h The Pride said: "Contrary to your statement that there has been a problem between The Pride and the College Republicans..." My statement never included the word problem as I, like you, do not consider the College Republicans as having a problem with The Pride paper. I did say, "I aip not happy about the recent happenings that have been taking place..." Happenings do not necessarily equate to problems. 2. The Pride said: "you were, until recently, listed as the Membership Chairman of the YAF..." I was the Membership Director, not Chairman. Minor mistake, but nevertheless could be easily misconstrued as me being the Chairman. Thank you for taking note in that I am no longer a member of YAF. 3. As the Chairman of the College Republicans, I respectfully ask that when The Pride Editors are handling disputes in which they have with other student organizations, that they do not attempt to refute their problems in the same Editors' Response that is directed to the College Republicans. It would be greatly appreciated if you would handle your disputes in separate articles. Thank you for your time, MikeSannella Chairman CSUSM College Republicans r 1 Consider Your Pride! gj Enroll in LTWR 316/COMM316 6:00pm - 8:50pm Tuesday 7:00pm - 8:50pm Thursday Be A Pride Staff Writer k In order for students to be sure we are not buying sweatshop garments in our bookstore, we need to know what code of conduct is required. Not only do we need the details of that code, but we also need to know who monitors and enforces the code, In addition, we need to know the factory locations of the companies who supply our University Store. There are good reasons why those last few details are important/First of all, there are companies who create codes of conduct which are not acceptable. In El Salvador, for instance, a one day "living wage" (which determined how much sweatshop employees were going to be paid) was based on calculating half the price of food for one day. That's it. No clothing. No shelter. No transportation. No toys for kids. No money for educating kids or adults in the family. Just half of the cost of food. The second reason 'specifics' are important is because whoever monitors and enforces the code is very powerful in this industry. Companies who oversee their own codes are not objective. It is too hard for them to see the injustices that they bring upon the laborers. To them it is just business as usual. Also, it is often the case that managers and supervisors are merely doing what they can to keep4 up with the demands that come down from headquarters in corporate America. The third request of naming factory locations is important because we need to know which American companies truly do their business in America/ Recently, because of pressure being put on by students, companies such as Nike and GAP(Gap, Baby Gap, and Old Navy) have started naming where their factories are located. Of course, most of their manufacturing is done overseas in sweatshops. The millionaire and billionaire managers and owners of these companies gave the excuse that the responsibility was "out of their hands" because they couldn't be in all places at once to monitor labor conditions. This is no excuse. I can't believe it is impossible to set up a monitoring system to make sure workers are not suffering and starving in their factories. They just'don't Want to 'waste' their profits on such a monitoring system. At the "Students Against Sweatshops" conference, we had women who were former sweatshop employees speak to us. They spent many hard years slaving over clothing made for colleges. When these women tried to organize labor rights movements, they were fired, their families were threatened, and also the women were followed and told they would be killed. This is why it is important to make sure that we truly are doing all we can to bring about equality. We need to stop the horrible practices of sweatshops by making sure the people in corporate America realize it is of utmost importance to the consumers that they give all laborers a living wage and treat them with dignity. I am happy that our University Store requires manufacturers to follow a code of conduct. However, I hope that the details of this code are made public so that the students can decide if it is the code that we want our clothing manufacturers to follow. This is a very complicated issue. However, one detail is very simple: The people who make billions of dollars from sweatshops are going to continue their abusive practices until the consumers demand otherwise. Michelle Jacob In regards to Joe's letter to the editor that appeared in the November 8 issue: Joe, my gosh you spent a whole semester and a half at CSU San Marcos and just now realizing you're bored? One would have to question why yoti didn't think of this BEFORE you enrolled here. It seems to me there are a 'cazillion' colleges you could have picked from. Perhaps you should question why you picked CSU San Marcos to begin with? Was it the price tag? The ease of which you got accepted? Is it possibly the location to your home, etc.? Did your parents have say in the matter? Wow, I could go on. I 'm just very curious why you DID choose CSU San Marcos—surely there had to be a good reason for choosing a commuter college. Also you mentioned that the average age of the students here is 28. I 've been brought up to think that people at any age can enrich and add to an environment, rather than take away from it. You mention a lot of factors that contribute to this school being a bore. If you are so interested in sports, then why didn't you pick Notre Dame or some other school? If your friends are all "having the time of their lives" living in dorms, then why don't you change schools so you can be with them? If you choose to stay at CSU San Marcos, then why don't you try joining one of the many successful clubs on campus, call the Associated Students Office, and just get yourself involved? However, remember that CSU San Marcos has a writing requirement in all classes and that may limit the amount of time you have to party. The bottom line i s that you have to decide what is important—a party life or graduating on time, before you become "28" years of age.

Pg. 1 Chalk Marks By Victor Mireles As the days of optimism fade from view and the cold hard reality of school work finally sets one into a routine of study and sleep, there are some things on campus that "remind us that tiiiie truly flies while you're alive. There are the leaves that have turned a wonderful shade of brown, the mountain behind the Science Hall that has shrunk to the size of a foothill, and the term papers that seem to come all at one time, even though they were assigned two months ago. Yet, as I walk the mile from my car to the campus on top of the hill I notice the once proud graffiti of rush week refuses to let go of the year and wash away. Why am I mentioning this to you? The reason is simple. Life moves much too fast for all of us. In a world where news is old in three minutes, every stcflre looks like a box, and houses are made of cheap white stucco, one should take a moment once in a while to look out from on top of the hill on campus. the North County San Diego area. It is a federally funded TRIO program f or low-income and firstgeneration high school students who are motivated to attend and succeed in college. Because the Upward Bound program at CSUSM was rated in the top 2% in the nation, they are currently operating in their "bonus" fifth year (grants are typically funded for 4 years only). Their new grant comes into effect in 2000. Students dance during ASI's Monthly Free Student Barbecue. Upaward Bound Students interviewed on AM 1000 KCEO Look out and see the horizon and notice how at sundown all the colors of nature come out and reveal to all below the beauty of the sky. Take time and notice that many seem locked in a permanent gaze downward, as if in anticipation of the assignment to be soon given by the faculty. Take time and notice that there is more to life than school and work and the daily grind. Notice that we should learn not only from books but also from the world around us. Not even the best machine can produce the good feelings of warmth that the sun gives to all. I thought that before the start of finals week and the ever-present holiday season, that I should share a thought rather than a rant. I hope that, whatever else you do in the next two weeks, that you look around and notice the chalk marks on the street.

For many smokers, the immediate incentives are health benefits while for others, it is money. After one year of quitting smoking, the "heart disease death rate is halfway back to that of a nonsmoker" while saving $1,080, the cost per year for a single pack smoked per day, according to the literature provided. Helen Lindner, Health Educator for Palomar Pomerado Hospital, noted the combination of pharmacological aids with behavioral modification types of programs. Lindner recognizes the need to match the psychological and physical components of quitting, "The nicotine 'patch' will eventually lessen symptoms of withdrawal. For a lot of people, this can be really helpful." Amidst the excitement of the life-affirming event was the story of one student who had approached the Peer Educators and Health representatives. The student had quit smoking for good at a Great American Smokeout in 1983. For more information on Peer and Support Education (PEAS) - contact CAPS at 750-4910.

The World Is Not Enough- the 19th, I think, James Bond filmlives up to the 007 legacy in- a serious way. Supersaturated action, shameless sexual innuendo, most excellent gadgets and vehicles, and an entertaining spy plot pull the movie together. Pierce Brosnan continues proving he's the best 007 since, Connery. He puts in a great performance (The man straightens his tie while speeding underwater in an open topped boat!), as the "decadent agent of a corrupt Western power," although I 'm still angry that James Bond does not smoke in the films any more. Although The World Is Not Enough is not as good as Tomorrow Never Dies (How could it be, without Michelle Yeoh?), I thought it was still Bond in full effect. v I won't give it away because it's worth the surprise, but the person Q is grooming as his replacement is an insane choice, but a good one. ; I hate Garbage, but they did a "Dogma-- one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time." Dogma is a grand satire of the structure and practice of religions. In this case, Catholicism happens to be the example. The movie brings up controversial questions about the interpretation of God and Jesus the Messiah. As an example, Cardinal Glick thinks the crucified Jesus is too "depressing" for people, and resorts to a cartoon-like buddy Jesus giving the thumbs-up sign. Dogma exposes other controversial ideas such as God as a female, Jesus not being white, and Mary and Joseph having children after the virgin birth of Jesus, The movie asks the questions: If these were the cases, would the religion change? Would the people take the religion the same way? Would it make any difference to the overall message of the religion? After a blatant disclaimer to "cover one's ass," Dogma opens with the Cardinal Glick (George Carlin) announcing the rededication of his New Jersey church as part of his "Catholicism WOW!" campaign. Meanwhile, in a Wisconsin airport two fallen angels, Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck), receive an anonymous letter informing them of the rededication and a church decree that anyone who enters the church arches comes out cleaned from sin. For disobedience, God sent Loki and Bartleby to live with the humans until the end of time. After the end of life, the fallen angels are condemned to sit in front of the gates of heaven. Getting a "clean slate" ensures the fallen angels a way back into heaven, so Loki and Bartleby make their way toward the east coast. At the same time, Bethany (Lindo Fiorentino), a doubtful Catholic working in an abortion clinic, is visited by the voice of God Metetron (Alan Rickman). Metetron tells Bethany of the news and sends her on a mission to prevent the angels from entering thechurch. On the way to New Jersey, Bethany teams up with the prophets Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Dogma Director Kevin Smith), the 13th apostle Rufus (Chris Rock), and the muse Serendipity (Salma Hayek) to achieve the will of God. This is a must-see movie for any person not easily offended by the questioning of the structure of religion. The movie is classified as a comedy, but the moments where comedy and theology intertwine may make the deeply devout or narrow minded miss the overall message of the movie: Why do we believe in what to do? Why can't we have ideas instead of believing anything? good generic 007 song, "The World Is Not Enough."... The (Whatever happened to SPECTOR?) PHANTOM m i V ML.

If you have never been to a theatrical production then the Phantom of the Opera is an excellent opportunity to indulge your senses. An elaborate recreation of the Paris Opera House sets the mystical mood for Andrew Lloyd Webber's renowned musical. The plot goes back in time to the Opera House in 1881 and relates the story of Christine Daae, played by Rebecca Pitcher, who struggles with fate, fear, and love. The Phantom, portrayed with emotion by Brad Little, is lustfully entranced with Christine and pushes her career to the top through Opera House hauntings.

More importantly, they lack the understanding that "it could happen to me." For many years, we have been fed information on HIV and AIDS. The need for prevention and awareness has literally been shoved down our throats. Information overload may distance ourselves from the disease. Thus, we continually forget how important it is to acknowledge that HIV is still alive; we fail to realize that we are responsible for controlling its spread. More importantly, it is essential that we remind ourselves that HIV can affect our lives, and/or those we love. Many are unaware that North County is the home for the only two licensed care facilities for men and women who are living with AIDS in all of San Diego County: Fraternity House, which is located in Escondido, and Michaelle House, which is located in Vista. Recently, another Peer Educator and myself visited Michaelle House to learn more about people who are suffering from AIDS .

It is well-being." The recently formed Health, Counseling and Disability Services (HCDS) publicized their first newsletter, The Mind Body Connection, last week to introduce themselves to the campus community. The publication is the first in a planned series of four for the academic year, and is funded by a grant from the State Lottery Commission, the California Lottery. This year students on our campus are having the pleasure of studying under guest professor Christian Ferrer from the Marne-La-Vallee in Paris, France. Professor Ferrer began teaching in 1968, and has instructed in many schools around the globe. For Ferrer's first visit to the U.S. he chose to take the opportunity to teach at CSUSM. Ferrer prefers to work wherever h e travels, rather than to visit as a tourist. He says, "I learn much more about America at CSUSM than I would at Disneyland." Ferrer is currently teaching two courses here. They are "Death in Contemporary French Literature" and "British Romance Poetry," and work with such authors as Camus, Ionesco, Coleridge, and Shelley. Professor Ferrer earned his first Masters of English at La Sorbonne Paris, and then continued his education in England at Manchester and Lancaster where he earned his Masters in English Linguistics. Only four years after beginning his career he entered "l'Agregation" in English Linguistics, a competitive: "exam" taken by 2,000 candidates, and ranked fifth amongst all. Unfortunately, Professor Ferrer must depart for France at the end Of the semester, but he hopes to soon return. "I am a very, very happy CSUSM t eacher... and I am hooked on California sunsets." One example of collaboration under the HCDS banner was the "Great American Smoke Out" display in Founder's Plaza on Thursday, November 18. Peer facilitators from CAPS and the Student Health Advisory Board members joined forces to promote a smoke-free day and lifestyle. HCDS has also finalized plans to promote "HIV/AIDS Awareness Day" on becember I, and has tentative plans for a pre-holiday "Alcohol Awareness Day," said Nicholson. The publication is dedicated to the late Sandra R. Kuchler, who is noted as "one of the pioneers of CSUSM's student services programs." Students who would like a copy of The Mind Body Connection should contact Student Affairs located on the 5th floor of Craven Hall. Leiana Naholowaa P RIDE EDITOR On Monday, November 15, President Sun Zhong Qing and Zhang Ting Guo, Director of International Relations, made a special visit to Cal State San Marcos on behalf of Yantai University in the People's Republic of China. The distinguished guests were welcomed by the President's Cabinet, given a tour of the campus with Russ Decker, spoke with Chinese students, and met with various department faculties. Yantai's enrollment of 6,700 full-time and 3,000 part-time students make it very similar to CSUSM, although their university is several years older. Zhang noted the many fields of study that are offered at Yantai which include science, engineering, literature, art, international business, and marine studies.

Some projects in the works include the possibility of . Yantai sending over a faculty member for training in Computer Science and CSUSM B.A's and M.A.'s teaching English in China for a year. Yantai University President Sun and International Relations Directbr Zhang conversed with Colleges of Business, Language, and Literature faculty. Literature and Writing Studies department chair Dr. Yuan noted that currently there is no Chinese Studies program at CSUSM, but there may be the possibility of a cultural immersion program with universities like Yantai in the future* Dr. Yuan had visited Yantai University with Peter Zwick, Sheldon Lou, and President Bill Stacy in October of 1996. Located in the Shandong Province of China, Dr. Yuan states that Yantai University is at "at the edge of the sea" and describes it as "very pretty and right near the beach." Since the signing of a formal agreement at theinitial meeting of the two universities, two CSUSM students have traveled to Yantai University to teach English between 1996-1998.

If you were watching ESPN on Tuesday, you may have gotten a warm feeling after seeing your school on television. Cal State San Marcos was broadcast on television last Tuesday, November 16. Steve Scott, the head coach for the cross-country team, commented on Arturo Barrio's Invitational in Chula Vista. During a brief hiatus between the races, Sieve Scott was interviewed and a few runners of the cross-country team were shown. When asked about his first time as a coach, Scott informed ESPN viewers that since his retirement, it is the second most amazing thing in his life (the first being the marriage to his wife). Also, if you missed it last week, the runners left for Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Thursday, November 18 to compete in Nationals and the team will return to California on Sunday. Steve Scott and CSUSM's cross-country team can be seen again on Thursday, November 25, at 1:00am on ESPN. New Biotech Certificate Offered at CSUSM By Joni Miller PRIDE STAFF WRITER A new certificate program will be offered at CSUSM in February 2000 to provide practical, hands-on training in Biotechnology. Ten courses offered in the spring will focus on ensuring marketable skills in the biotech field. * Loan programs are available. Each course carries 1.5 continuing education units. Successful completion of six of the courses is required to qualify for the certificate. The five-week classes are open to anyone, and are priced at $325.00 each. In response to a growing need for workers ready for employment, the program will enhance the skills and knowledge of science students. Craig Halverson, Director of Regulatory Affairs with Gen-Probe, Inc. helped plan the idea and will be an instructor of the program. "There are not enough candidates applying for jqjbs that support laboratory research - jobs that are ancillary to the laboratories," Halverson said.

The $30,000 to $60,000 and car salary increase is set in place for allowances raised to $1000 a five years, giving 23 of our CSU month. Our current President Photo by Patrick B. Long / The Pride Karen S. Haynes salary was $203,376, but with the salary increase she now brings home $230,232, not including her $60,000 dollar annual housing allowance and a $1,000 monthly car allowance. As a result, many campus presidents now get a housing allowance that's larger than the starting salary of most assistant professors. "Realistically, this won't have much effect on students financially. For example, at CSUSM, our President got a raise of $27,000. If you divide that by approximately 7000 students that means that it cost each student about $4. So it's likely to have a greater effect on students' morale than their pocketbooks," says Dr. Linda Holt, chairperson for Academic Senate. . The trustees recognize compensation for presidents and system executives as a key element in the California State University's success. The Board of Trustees say that the ability to offer a competitive salary increase is critical to the CSU's ability to recruit and retain key executives who are competent and visionary leaders. Higher education in California shares in a national system that has a very limited pool of qualified executives, and not only do we compete with these key institutions for new executives, but CSU executives are under pressure to consider highly competitive offers from these same institutions. The executive salary increase for campus presidents and system executives has the objective of maintaining a competitive market position.

Dr. Holt says, "On the one hand, it's important that we pay our pres- first. This includes examining the police report to see what descriptions the victims gave versus the evidence uncovered by the police department's investigation. This also includes using the responses given in an interview with the suspect of both cases and comparing his claims to those of the other two women involved. The suspect has denied any involvement in acts of sexual battery at University Village, but has been made aware that he is considered a strong suspect in the matter. The suspect's name and descriptors are available, for anyone who seeks it, at the University Police Department. According to the Public Records Act sections 6250-6270 of the Government Code, such details about a person can become public record if the information will not endanger the safety of a person or endanger successful completion of an investigation. Information can also be released if factual circumstances surround the crime or incident. "University Police has completed its investigation of this matter and offered up all substantial evidence to the District Attorney for review. Therefore, releasing the suspect's name will not interfere with our efforts," said Chief of Police Aaron Woodard, To obtain more information about these cases, contact University Police at 760-750-4567.

But on the other hand, the timing of this increase is unfortunate - we are giving large raises to presidents at the same time as we are asking students to tighten their belts." At the same time they boosted the President salary increases, the Board of Trustees raised student fees another eight percent, and proposed that their fees increase ten percent each year for the nextfiveyears. "Twenty-seven of the Board's implemented a housing allowance for CSU executives. Some university presidents are required to live in official university provided residences. CSU provides official residences at Dominguez Hills, Fresno, Fullerton, Long Beach, Maritime Academy, Monterey Bay, Northridge, Pomona, San Diego and San Jose. Where official CSU residences are not available, the Board of Trustees provides CSU presidents assistance with their housing. The presidents' residences are used for university business including an executive office, university meetings, university-related entertainment, social functions and fundraising. "It is clear to everyone that housing costs in California are much higher than in other parts of the country. Ifpresidential salaries are 49.5 percent less than at comparable institutions, and there is, on top of that, no adjustment for the high cost of housing, we're asking a lot for someone to accept leadership positions on our campuses. Also, keep in mind the demands that are placed on presidents for opening up their personal homes to the campus and the community. Offering different amounts to presidents in different parts of the state allows the CSU to adjust the payment to local needs within the state." says Neal Hoss, vice president offinanceand administrative services. The last comprehensive change was made in the summer of2000. Housing assistance has been reassessed this year in view of equity, housing maintenance costs and services, real estate market changes and housing market relationships. In addition to the housing assistance, the Board of Trustees' adopted a resolution that provides presidents the option of receiving a $750-1,000 per month automobile allowance in lieu of a University vehicle, to support university related business travel requirements. Students, staff, and faculty members have been deeply disturbed by the direction the Trustees are taking the people's university. On the one hand, they are making the system increasingly unaffordable to eligible students. On the other hand, they are failing to pay its faculty and staff enough to survive in this high cost of living state. For more information please see the California Faculty website at http:// www.calfac.org. executive friends must b e v ery happy today. They walked out with big raises as well as hefty housing and car allowances. But 40,000 faculty and staff, and 400,000 students have nothing to celebrate about.

As stated in The Pride article titled Sexual Battery at UVA, printed on Nov. 8, it was through the investigation of this incident that a second victim was found who gave descriptions of a suspect that matched those of the first victim, further implicating the case's suspect. Because the incidents of last month are identified as sexual battery cases, and sexual battery is a misdemeanor, the process for prosecution requires that the University Police Department identify all elements of the incident, but does not necessarily mean that arrests must be made 887 W.

The courses Professor O'Halloran will be offering are: The Politics of Irish Nationalism, Politics and Society in Ireland, Conflict Resolution in Northern Ireland, and The Politics of European Union Integration. Course information and class schedules are available on the web through the SMART system. According to Cynthia Chavez Metoyer, professor, department chair and internship coordinator f or the political science department, " The courses are open to students of all majors. However, students will want to check with their f aculty advisor if they are u nsure how the courses might count toward t he University or m ajor requirements." Currently, the politi- cal science department does not have a tenure-track faculty member who teaches eastern, western or central European politics, said Metoyer. "Students will have the opportunity to learn about three important cases, namely Ireland, Northern Ireland and/or the European Union. Each case study raises interesting questions and offers important lessons—economic, social and political—that are relevant for citizens in a global society," said Metoyer. "Approximately 50 million Americans claim some Irish ancestry so students can gain more knowledge about their Irish roots and ancestral homeland," stated Patty Seleski, professor and department chair of the history department. "Given his experience and expertise, and add this to his background as an international scholar, O'Halloran can o ffer students a global view of the world and an opportunity to look at issues f rom a completely different perspective," said Seleski. O'Halloran has taught in the United States, Ireland, and the Ukraine, among other countries, so he is aware of the differences between the Irish and U.S. university systems. He has a great sense of humor and is dedicated to his students and interested in creating courses that will be interesting to American students, according to Seleski. O'Halloran mentioned that his courses will provide students with a sense of past and present Ireland and will be a unique opportunity to study Irish politics and history, taught directly from an Irishman. "The concepts of change and transformation will be central to both my Irish politics and history courses. Ireland is quite simply a fascinating country to study. The past fifteen years have been ones of profound transformation," said O'Halloran. "Politically, socially and economically, the Ireland of 2005 bears little resemblance to the Ireland of 1985. Ireland has one of the best performing econo- mies in the world. The authority of the Catholic Church has collapsed. As such, modern Ireland is becoming quite secular. This compares with the 1950s, for example, when the Church was a major social and political actor and when Irish society was fragmenting because of emigration. Whilst contemporary Ireland is a very dynamic country, there is also a great sense of unease. Many commentators argue that citizens have become too selfish. We are, it is suggested, a nation of self regarding consumers rather than other regarding citizens," commented O'Halloran, about the ample information behind what can be gained through studying Irish politics. "My focus in the Northern Irish politics course will be on conflict resolution in a deeply divided society. A fter thousands of deaths and injuries, Northern Ireland is currently at peace. The course will trace the historical origins of the conflict. It will emphasize that the Graduate student shares study College invite Assemblyman te speak on campus BY SHELLY MONROE Pride Staff Writer Educating students, faculty and campus guests about fetishes and 'culturally poetic sexual expression', guest speaker and Cal State San Marcos graduate student, Chuck Bailey, explored Chuck Bailey the psychological and socio-cultural dimensions of sexual arousal and e gression, on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Fetishes are defined as something, such as a material object or a nonsexual part of the body that arouses sexual desire and may become necessary for sexual gratification. Bailey says, "I think there is a certain stigma associated with fetishes. A fetish always implies a dysfunction, and not every fetish is a dysfunction. Fetish then becomes a j unk work." Fetishes can often be defined by culture. According to Bailey's presentation, the U.S. has popularized sex and fetishism. Body modification was one of the topics discussed in the forum. The U.S. is well-known for practicing body modifications including breast implants, body piercing, bras and corsets. The idea expressed by Chuck Bailey was to understand that all cultures have different practices regarding body modifications. The Chinese had a tradition called feet binding, practiced for over 1,000 years. Feet binding usually began when-the girl was four and took about five years to complete. If the process was started too late, the feet would be too large and not supple enough to bend, but starting too soon would carry the danger that the girl would be crippled for life and possibly b e unable to walk. Bound feet was a mark of the Han Chinese considered in that culture to be the mark of belonging to a more civilized echelon of people. Those who did not participate in this process were considered barbarians. There were sexual reasons behind bind- conflict must always b e understood as a human tragedy," said O'Halloran. O'Halloran promotes class participation because he sees teaching as a dialogue, and he is not traveling from Ireland to merely deliver monologues, stated O'Halloran. Ideally, students will finish the courses having gained new perspectives with a desire to learn more about the course topics and will have also developed their critical analytical faculties. According to O'Halloran, he loves his job and the classroom interaction it provides and feels students and teachers are privileged to be given the opportunity to study and learn. He is excited about his first visit to California and hopes to learn more about Californian politics, culture and history. "So if you see a lost Irishman on campus please point him in the right direction...to the nearest blue ocean where the sand is warm and the sun shines," said O'Halloran. BY PATRICK B.LONG Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of Chuck Bailey ing feet; it was the longest-lived fetish in the world. After binding the feet, the lower legs atrophied. The woman would use her hip muscles to move relying less on leg muscles resulting in enlargement of the hip muscles and also of the perineum muscle. The perineum is the small area between the anus and vagina. Binding did increase the shrinkage power of the vagina, which was an appeal of this process. In 1895, foot binding was outlawed in China and is no longer practiced. Other topics discussed in the forum were paraphilias, which are recurrent intense sexuality arousing fantasies, urges, behaviors, generally involving non-humans, objects, or the suffering or humiliation of oneself or partner. Some of the paraphilias focused on clinical fetishism. Clinical fetishism is when the fetish becomes a problem with fantasy, such as Transvestism, S & M, and Bondage. An example of paraphilias is bondage, where someone, usually persons of power, is put into a more subjective role, to fulfill their fantasies. Some of the treatments discussed about clinical paraphilias are psychoanalysis and behavior modification. The intended purposes of the forum were to project cultural difference of various fetishes and provide a better understanding of 'culturally poetic sexual expression*. The idea, presented by Bailey, was to try to withhold judgment and understand the context presented. Bailey has offered this forum before and it has gained great interest by students, faculty, and guests. Bailey is a graduate student working towards his Masters at Cal State San Marcos. If you would like more information, please contact Chuck Baileyatcb999@cox.net. Assemblyman Ray Haynes (R) held an open forum on Wednesday Nov. 16 at the Mezzanine on Cal State San Marcos, sponsored by the College Republicans. The Assemblyman for district 66 was promoting his initiative for a state run border patrol and his "Board of Equalization." The initiative, known as the "California Border Police Act," would set into place a state police department whose main purpose would be to assist the federal Border Patrol. It would also enforce state wide immigration laws. Such laws would include employer enforcement of these laws. "We have about three quarters of the signatures we need for this initiative," said Assemblyman Haynes, during the open forum. "The Board of Equalization", "A quasi-judicial office, the BOE hears the appeals of taxpayers (both individuals and businesses) who feel state taxing authorities have ruled incorrectly," reads the Web site supporting the initiative. "I was happy with the turn out," said Haynes about the crowd. He stated that there was an open flow of people coming and going.

Or that 58.4 percent of freshmen come from North San Diego County? The average student at CSUSM most likely does not know the basics of our campus. There is now no excuse because interesting facts about the demographics of our campus are readily available in the pocket-sized handbook, Quickstats 2006. According to publications manager, George Cagala, "It's an economical way of presenting a clear, concise profile of the campus as it relates to students (age, gender, ethnicity, etc.); faculty, budgets, financial aid and other info." The fingertip facts and figures booklet contains a map of the campus and phone numbers from the various departments at CSUSM. It also provides a brief history of the campus. For instance, of the 210 tenured and tenure-track faculty members, 209 have a doctorate or the highest degree in their field. The annual payroll for CSUSM employees is included in Quickstats, as well as the most popular major, which is business administration, followed by liberal studies. Of the 7,500 students who attend Cal State San Marcos, approximately 3,954 received financial aid for the 2004-2005 school year. This handy booklet was funded by the University Advancement publications budget, and is an informative and f un resource for anyone who may be interested in the campus. Quickstats is perfect for student orientations, community events and chamber of commerce meetings. Prospective employees and students will find the booklet very convenient in learning more about their future campus. Parents of students as well as donors and volunteers will also find this compendium of campus facts and figures useful. The basic statistical information was gathered from various departments at CSUSM and compiled into one pocket-sized booklet.

Everything from the fixings to the volunteer labor force to the floral department trimmings was donated by south Orange County Albertsons stores in conjunction with the Irvine distribution center. "This is what we do; we're in the food business," remarked Shuit. "Sometimes, people take freedom for granted. We are trying to make the situation better for them before they deploy. Our freedoms are a direct result of the service of these men and women." Like any true holiday celebration, there was food, family, games, music and prizes. "We'll be raffling off TVs, DVDs, and all the way down to oil changes. We'll even be offering a weekend package to a resort for four," said Lt. Col Kozenisky proudly* "It's unreal how much support we've gotten. Albertson's especially," mentioned Sgt. Stephen Ferguson. "This event is giving the Marines a Thanksgiving and Christmas with families since they won't be here to celebrate with them." Jackie Ferguson, the mother of Sgt. Stephen Ferguson, spearheaded the event acknowledging the connection she feels with the service men and women. "When you see them, your heart gets all warm and you can't stand to help think what theses guys are missing," said Jackie. "I'm just trying to give them a little piece of home before they leave." environment encourages students (and staff and faculty) to NOT talk about race and racism with one another and as long as we maintain that silence, justice cannot happen. This course takes a racial group called "whites" as worry about how they will be skinny like her. Girls of color can never look like her (as far as being white), which sends a message that they are not as important." Studies have been conducted on nonwhite Barbie, and statistically kids of all ethnicities for the most part have chosen the white Barbie as more beautiful and more desirable than nonwhite dolls. White is desired in this country because white equals power and privilege. Mattel Public Relations Michelle Llorin says, "Mattel was the first company to have ethnic Barbie dolls plus Barbie's first best friend was Christine and African American Barbie doll." Mattel introduced Barbie's first friend Christie, and A frican-American Barbie in 1968. Mattel is the first toy company to have produced ethnic Barbie's and carries them all year round. Currently, Barbie comes in Hispanic, African American and Asian versions all around the world. Mattel states three Barbie dolls are sold every second somewhere in the world. With more than $3 billion in retail, Barbie is the number one girl's brand worldwide. The Barbie Doll continues to be a top seller for the toy company Mattel. The forum will discuss Barbie and the impacts it holds on girls in today's society. The student will share what they know and offer support to student activism. Professor Liliana Rossmann said, " I've attended the forum in the past and I have learned a lot. Growing up in Mexico, I had an entirely different perspective on Whiteness. In Mexico, I am considered " white" because my ancestors (some of them, anyway) came f rom Spain. In the U.S., the categories are different, so I_am supposed to check a different box: Hispanic, which is a cultural category, not a racial or. ethnic category. This boxchecking reminds me of how these categories are socially c onstructed, as are our interpretations thereof." The forum will be a provocative, interactive, experiential space in which students, faculty, and guests can explore assumptions and misconceptions about race and whiteness. Students, faculty, and guests will leave with a better understanding of the concepts of whiteness and be motivated to learn more. The forum will be held from 11:15-12:45 p.m. in Commons 206 on Thursday, Dec. 1. MARINES, from page 1 according to Diconti. With the gracious support of Albertsons, the early holiday picnic and celebration had all the necessary ingredients for a deliciotis assortment of meal options. "We'll have turkey, ham, prime rib, and all the fixings. It's a complete holiday meal," said Fred Shuit, senior vice president of Albertsons grocery stores. Over a hundred Albertson's associates were on site unloading WHITENESS, from page 1 Laura Hansen says, "Whiteness is not easy to explain; I believe whiteness means power and privilege at the expense of others' disadvantage. Most whites would say I am not a racist and I would say maybe not aggressively, but passively, we are because of the stereotypes we are fed daily through the media, laws and institutions." COMM 454 was first offered in Fall 2003 and was the result of an independent study that Professor Dreama Moon conducted with a small group of communication students. Given her research in whiteness studies and the response that she received from students when she presented information about her research, it was decided by the department to develop this course. "I felt that this course was imperative in terms of my goal of social and racial justice. It is important to talk about whites and white supremacy in a conscious and critical way that help students understand both the history of race, racism, and white supremacy in the U.S. and its historical legacy and present day manifestation. The old conservative politically correct a critical object, w hich i s gener- ally not done in most academic forums," said Professor Moon. Students in Moon's class have been preparing for this forum by looking in depth into topics such as Barbie, beauty products and political cartoons. In the Whiteness class, the students read and discuss all aspects of whiteness. Moon mentioned that, "It is important that young people learn that they can effect change and that they have important insights about the world to share. The forum will allow my students to realize and utilize their expertise in the area of whiteness." Students are looking in depth at how whiteness effects the topic they are studying. Hansen, a student in COMM 454 is studying Barbie dolls and how whiteness ties in with Barbie. Barbie is one of the biggest icons in the world produced by Mattel. She represents what is considered beautiful in this country, which is represented as white.

I must admit that last Thanksgiving, while bundled-up in a mountain cabin at Lake Arrowhead with the "love of my life", I would've never envisioned this year's solo trek to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Then again, life is f ull of surprises. [I suppose many aspects of life could be taken in with great dread and horror, like the unexpected end of a highly romantic relationship, or they could be embraced as a part of our greater individual growth, and welcomed in with new adventures.] The woman I was last Thanksgiving no longer exists. She was a solid, levelheaded professional investigating the possibilities of a personal life aside from college and the boardroom. She snuggled a handsome French gentleman beside a roaring fire, drank hot chocolate and reflected with calm joy on the mundane artifacts in that simple mountain cabin, as snow fell gently against the icy windows. She danced in the kitchen, as she hadn't done in years, and lingered on his every breath as he whispered sweet fantasies into her ear. She wanted very much to be swept away, but I think that woman was very afraid, and wanted desperately to believe in something beyond her deeply guarded inner world. Yes, that woman went away, but she made room for the bolder one sitting here today, carefully packing her ruck sack for four days in the great outdoors. This will be my first "Thinks"giving. I am a bit apprehensive, but I thought this might be a solid and rewarding way to face my fear of isolation, to even admit to it, as I often consider myself the world's biggest loner. I'm expecting a true adventure, even a bit of a vision quest, a way to get back in touch with my own power and gentle thoughts. I will begin Thanksgiving morning on the South Rim, and gradually make my way twelve miles below to Supai Village in the Havasupai lands. Havasupai means "people of the bluegreen water," and I too grew up around blue-green water, near Lake Tahoe in the High Sierras. Back then I was a bold mountain girl, bursting with hopes and dreams. So, as I hike down the windy paths, I will watch the sky and listen for whispers in the wind. Somewhere there might be signs of what is in store for me, or of what I now seek from without and within. The main goal of this quest is to grab onto some new dreams, or perhaps ask the Earth to return Photos c ourtesy of L izz O sbourne / The Pride some of my old ones, as I must have set them down somewhere. I hope t o return to finish this semester at Cal State San Marcos with a renewed sense of spirit and "thanksgiving." Happy Trails, and Happy Thanksgiving to all! A holiday reflections, a Thanksgiving pledge BY BRIAN MASON Pride Staff Writer When I think of Thanksgiving I usually think of drunken relatives watching football after stuffing themselves with turkey. This Thanksgiving will be slightly different. Instead of many relatives, there will only be immediate family i.e. my brother, me, my father and mother. In retrospect, I look back at Thanksgivings when my grandmother would come over bearing apple pie, stumbling from her car because carpel tunnel and a weary spirit hindered her movement.

I mering sunlight, naturally blinding everything around. This is the first time she has been gone since I was born, and the impact has taken a heavy toll on my family's spirits. Nonetheless, this Thanksgiving will be spent in best of spirits as alcohol flows and the memory of family members warms our minds. Thanksgiving is about giving. It says it in the name. We are not a religious family, but all our thoughts go to a member thousands of miles away, as we stuff turkey and wine into our gluttonous bellies. Thanksgiving is a remembrance of good times past and of great times to come. The social anxiety that grips the human spirit is sent elsewhere as we remember the ones we love and give thanks and praise to those we care most for. This Thanksgiving I will be drunk, remembering all that life has offered me, and all that life has taken from me. I will spend Thanksgiving with friends and family that comfort me through the unnecessary pitfalls that we encounter on a daily basis. This Thanksgiving I will be thankful. This Thanksgiving I will be remembering. This Thanksgiving I will be honoring. This Thanksgiving I will be loved.

Junior literature and Writing Major Curry Mitchell Toy drive re-ignites holiday flame BY MONIQUE NIESLEY Special to The Pride With Thanksgiving almost here, students may be starting to feel the Grinch-like effects of too much holiday commercialism: Christmas décor went up in most stores right after Halloween, the Christmas-themed commercials began soon after, and the pre-Christmas sales have already started. Even in the midst of a nice turkey coma, many still have to figure out a way to juggle shopping with their finals schedule. None of this does much good for fostering "peace on earth" or "good will towards men." If you'd like a quick, sure-fire way to change all that, the CSUSM Pre-Health Society (PHS) has the remedy: make a donation to their annual toy-clothing-food drive. "I had a magical experience when I donated toys and helped give them out to needy kids in Escondido," said Phoenix Lindgren, PHS President. "It was a Christmas morning I'll never forget." Lindgren hopes to spread the magic to her fellow students, staff, and faculty through the PHS toy drive. "In past years, the Pre-Health Society has just accepted donations of used clothing—and we want to continue that tradition— but we also wanted to expand our effort to reach out to more people that arc part o f o ur c ommunity," i smo^check"speciar " 1 I I | t est only / test all* CtQi 7C vDO I .

"The Interfaith Council serves the needs of the poorest people living here in the North County—we are hoping to not only gather clothing for their homeless clients, but toys for the kids this year, too." According to the Interfaith web site (www.interfaithservices.org), their clients need everything from baby formula to bus passes, from school supplies to toothpaste. "If you can't afford to donate a toy you can probably afford to donate a couple of toothbrushes or a stick of deodorant—everything helps." That said, Lindgren went on to show that helping the children is what really motivates her. "The kids started lining up outside the Interfaith Council building at 3a.m.," recalls Lindgren. "They were each allowed to choose one 'big' toy and one stuffed animal. They took such care to make their choices, older kids would pick out something for a younger sister or brother rather than something for themselves; the kids were so loving and thankful and generous... I can't wait to go back this Christmas, even if I do have to be there at 5a.m. What else am I gonna be doing at 5a.m. Christmas morning?"

With Thanksgiving and Winter Break quickly approaching, I only hope that my fellow CSUSM students can learn from my mistakes. When it comes to holiday travel plans, be wary of deceptive student discounts. When planning a trip to Boston this October, I searched for deals on Expedia, Priceline, Orbitz, Hotwire, and Cheaptickets, but the plane ticket prices were astronomical, and the hotel packages they offered were equally outrageous. I had seen a student travel office in PB and was curious to see what kinds of fares they offered. The travel agent at STA Travel was friendly and seemed interested in my travel plans. She immediately found tickets for $150 less than I had been able to find on my own. When I explained to her that my friend and I were both racing at "Head of the Charles," a competitive regatta in Boston, she offered to find us a hotel nearby as well. She found us lodging a mere 10 minutes from the racecourse and, to my surprise, it was only $80 per night. All of the hotels I had searched for on my own were at least $300,1 was delighted by the good news. In fact, I was so pleased with my initial experience that I emailed the travel agent, thanked her for her assistance and requested contact information so I could write an article about STA Travel upon returning from Boston. I hoped to title my article something like, "STA Travel: Good Deals and Great Service for Students." Two weeks before our trip I contacted our hotel, The Battlefield Inn, and requested a non-smoking room, as my travel companion and I are both allergic to smoke, and needed to be in peak-condition for our races. The front desk assured me that our room would be non-smoking. Our hotel seemed mòre like an apartment complex as we checked in at one building before walking back outside under artificial awnings. On the way to our room, we both noticed the thick and overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Immediately upon opening the door the same intense smell flooded toward us, this time obviously masked by the sting of disinfectant. We immediately returned to the front desk, requested a new room, and were taken by the manager to smell three other rooms, all of which were intolerable. Finally, we arrived at a room on the second floor and decided that we had better take it, as we only detected a relatively faint amount of smoke. We awoke to ourfirstmorning in Boston with sinus headaches, which later turned into migraines. Our voices were faint and throats scratchy, hindering communication with our rowers. Another unwelcome surprise was the fact that it took two busses and a subway car 90 minutes to get us from F E I FIVE RE FIVE 1 |39Daysf BUY 1 MYSTIC I I A T "fans i Unliminted Lewi 11 MYSTIC TANS or I UY C B 1„ u Tr » I» : 1 I T D A TANS TAN/ GET< 1 r REE I| L e ' g• I I Premium D eds I IULTRA T A K I C i Fn r r 0 » W * 2 5 I 0 nW $ 3 9 WU'àiìimìgMDDms a trip to Mexico, also through STA Travel, I might have avoided another near-disaster. My boyfriend and I had wanted to take a vacation to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, and found a very affordable package using the STA Travel website. After looking at pictures of many different hotels, we settled on the Marbella Suites, which featured beautiful rooms, a clear pristine swimming pool, and looked like a pictureperfect paradise. We were greeted at the front of our hotel by a starving stray puppy, covered with mange and dragging an injured leg. It lied down on the tile stairs amid piles of dead ants. Being an animal lover, I cried each and every time we passed it, and we ended up spending $150 and a majority of our time helping the dog. Although the staff at Marbella Suites was friendly and accommodating, our room was nothing like the one featured in the pictures. We had no television, no blow dryer, no closet, and our bathroom was in neglected condition. The beautiful swimming pool we had seen online was choked with leaves, dirt and other debris. "With hotels, you get what you pay for," says Cooper. I guess I should have known when the description featured only three stars. Although we are able to look back and laugh about our terribly unromantic vacation in Cabo, we didn't see the humor in it at the time. Once again, it's possible that we could have salvaged our romantic getaway by simply picking up the phone, but I guess we'll never know. "We have STA Travel affiliates all over t hrough t heir a gency a nd arc n ot s atisfied the world." So if students aren't happy with their lodgings, they should call the with their lodgings, Cooper advises that nearest office and ask what their options they "go to the nearest office, call the affilare. iate office, or call the 1-800-number.

On the bus ride back from the race course, the driver asked "you do know that the upper floors of the Battlefield Inn are lower income housing?" This explained the babies crying and cats wandering around. From that point on, we lovingly referred to our hotel as "The Minefield Inn," and knew that we had to get out of there. Fortunately, a friend of ours had an extra room at the Holiday Inn Select in Cambridge and let us stay there for free. After what we'd been through it seemed like The Ritz Carlton. Thanks to a good night's sleep, my friend and I both went on to have great races. Anticipating a lot of return traffic at the airport, we were careful to get there two hours before our flight. When we arrived at the airport, however, we were unable to check in at the electronic travel kiosk, and couldn't find our flight on the information board. An airline agent informed us that our flight had been cancelled in August. "Your travel agent should have let you know," he explained. The agent was able to get us on another flight, but now we had to endure a 4 hour layover in Atlanta. We spent all four hours cursing STA Travel's incompetence, swearing never to use their services again. After speaking with Adam Cooper, STA Travel's District Manager of San Diego, it is now clear to me that instead of complaining to each other, we should have been complaining to STA Travel. "If you get to a destination and it's bad, you can give us a call," said Cooper. He explained that if students book a trip «¡H $ 49 l Reservations Not Required.

I really like Kentucky. I think they could go all the way. They remind me a lot of Illinois from last year. They have three guards who can light up the scoreboard in Rajon Rondo, Patrick Sparks, and Joe Crawford. However, their inside game worries me a little bit; when you have three guys who like to shoot, you need someone in thè paint to pick up the rebounds when those guys miss. I think Boston College can have a decent season behind Craig Smith, and my former elementary school classmate, Jared Dudley. However, they don't have any perimeter shooting and just like last year, they will fall short in the post season. I think the biggest bust this year will be Texas Tech. I don't see why so many people have them ranked in the top 20. They have way too many freshmen on one team to be successful. They have no star power, and not to mention, Bobby Knight hasn't won jack since 1987. The two saddest teams to watch this season will be North Carolina and Illinois. North Carolina lost everyone. If they win 10-games I will be impressed. Illinois still has Dee Brown and James Augustine, but I don't expect them to be in the top 25 at seasons end. Now for the sleepers. Maryland is going to be very impressive this year. D.J. Strawberry is back and healthy. James Gist will become a star and a force to be reckoned with. Nik CanerMedley.and Ekene Ibekwe will fill nice complimentary roles. I honestly, see them making at least the sweet 16. I may look like a fool now for saying this, but I think San Diego State could be a sleeper this year. Brandon Heath does crazy things with the basketball. Marcus Slaughter kills his opponents under the basket. A SDSU team with two future NBA quality players is something that I can't remember seeing in my lifetime. Not to mention they play in a weak Mountain West Conference. I can see the Aztecs winning a game in the NCAA tourney. However, I think the true sleeper of them all will be UCLA. Jordan Farmar Arron Afflao, arid Cedric Bozeman provide the young star power. Luc Mbah a Moute could be one of those rare freshmen that have a huge impact on a team's success. The Bruins do have some tough competition in the Pac10, with Arizona and Stanford there to challenge them in the regular season. That challenge will prepare the young team for the NCAA tourney, and don't be surprised if you see UCLA in the elite 8 in March. My original final four picks never make it so don't go bet you college tuition, but here they are: I like Gonzaga, Kentucky, Michigan State, and Arizona.

BY JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride Clarifications regarding Ms. Sarah Leonard's rebuttal: As it concerns your insinuation that I tried to deceive readers into thinking that I attended the event, if one actually reads the article it should become clear that my knowledge of the event was based on my reading about it in "The Pride" She said: "First I would like to comment on the fact that for one to accurately report on an event, students should be able to assume that the writer actually attended the event." Clarification: If you want to argue that folks have to attend events in order to be able to provide commentary about them, then there is heaps of literature that you may want to avoid. She said: "Do you really mean for ASI to censor speakers simply because they are controversial?" I say: No, I mean for ASI to be more reasonable in serving the needs of the student body, for ASI claims to be the "officially recognized voice of the students." And I simplyfindit hard to believe that the student body is best served by events like "Sluts Unite". Now, on to this week's topic: Fee increases at the CSU. So here's the deal: On October 27, The California State University Board of Trustees (folks in the clouds twirling wands and wearing crowns) agreed on a budget request that would increase funding for the CSU at a level consistent with the Compact for Higher Education. Oh, and the budget request is also designed to increase undergraduate tuition to an average total of $3,368 per year for California residents. This figure includes average campus-based fees. So our fees are going up. Are you interested? Does this news upset you? I reckon that it should, for losing money is painful. And as one of my professors told me, people like pleasure and dislike pain. . I have the privilege (a privilege above all other privileges) to work with some of the folks in ASI, and they seem quite miffed. But I guess they should be quite miffed. I mean, if they were merely indifferent (as opposed to quite miffed) I'd probably be quite miffed at them for not accu- rately representing students who should be miffed about losing money. Stay with me people. The point is that I know ASI is upset, and I think that other students should probably be upset as well. The question is, while it's natural to be upset about losing money, are we really being burdened that much? I conducted a little research and discovered that even after the forthcoming fee increase, CSU students (residents) will pay less than students (residents) at state schools in New York ($4350) and Pennsylvania ($4906), and almost the same as students at state schools in Hawaii ($3352). According to the Trends in College Pricing 2005 report published by CollegeBoard, "Average total tuition and fees at four-year public colleges and universities in 2005-06 are $5,491." So on paper it appears that, relative to students at public schools in other states, we aren't facing that oppressive of a burden. But then I would be a jerk to ignore the folks who argue that students in Southern California are burdened by a high cost of living. This corner claims that an increasing tuition, combined with said high cost of living, makes it hard to survive. Your political commentator would like to respond to this claim: Bologna. When I look around campus and talk to my peers, I don't get the impression that most CSUSM students are barely surviving. I see spiffy cars in the parking lot, expensive surf shop clothes, and iPods; I hear stories about folks killing heaps of beers, and going out for sushi. I don't think that this sort of consumption pattern is bad, but I also don't think this sort of consumption pattern is reflective of students that can barely survive. And if students that consume like this can barely survive, I would argue that it is their own fault. I would argue that students ought to live more modestly. It's my view that being a student doesn't entitle you to a four year vacation. And for the students who live modestly and still struggle to survive under these fee increases, I feel your pain. My point is this: Access to higher education should be affordable; I think that it basically is; and I think that when financial crises cause fees to rise to levels that are not relatively burdensome, students ought to try to endure the burden that exists by living more modestly. I have holes in my sandals.

What, and you all thought that was my job? Right? Well it is, but lest we all forget that I control this little Ombudsman box I'm just going to say that there were some problems with last week's edition and there was some good stuff too (i.e. three big glasses of beer on the back page). There, that about sums it all up — no more in-depth Ombudsman's, just bad summaries that don't explain anything. No, actually, I want to talk about politics this week, the Robbins Report just isn't getting it done (just kidding Jason). Seriously, though, the question that I want to tackle is a very real one: Does The Pride have a political bias? Last week's issue had the question in there, whether it was apparent or not. Between the Letter to the Editor accusing Jason of improperly assessing the political atmosphere at CSUSM and Jason's own column the week before, the question was subtle but there, as to whether or not The Pride is biased. Now I'm going to admit right off the bat that I'm biased on this topic; I like the Robbins Report and I agree with most of what Jason writes in it.

But one thing I will tell you is that for The Pride, it appears to be taking lately I've been hearing that The Pride the balanced news approach seriously, is looking a little more conservative or at least trying to. Like I said, everybody has their own biases when it than it used to. Personally I don't see it. I mean how comes to politics; so maybe I'm right biased is The Pride?

TofurkyPPP BY JOELLE FRANKEL Special To The Pride More than 40 million turkeys are killed each Thanksgiving. This year CSUSM students—be radical, be revolutionary, challenge tradition—give turkeys the opportunity to be thankful too. Before these beautiful birds arrive at your dinner table, they face unimaginable pain and suffering. The majority of turkeys spend the last 5-6 six months of their lives crammed into 3.5 square feet of space. PETA's website explains that "To keep the overcrowded birds from scratching and pecking each other to death, workers cut off portions of the birds' toes and upper beaks with hot blades...no pain killers are used during any of these procedures." Aside from terrible living conditions, the slaughtering practices of turkeys are inhumane and inexcusable. Also, according to PETA, the turkeys are hung upside down by one leg and their dangling heads are dipped ing: "Who is this crazy, rabbitinto an "electrified 'stunning food eating hippy trying to guilttank,' which immobilizes them trip me, and ruin my Thanksgivbut does not kill t hem" After ing...and how the hell does she the lucky ones get electrified, the know what I'm thinking?" turkeys' throats are slit by a blade Not too long ago, I was just like attached to a machine (although you. the blade many times misses its I used to show vegetarians my target), and finally the birds are pointy teeth and say, "If I'm not submerged in scalding hot water. supposed to eat meat, what are Due to genetic engineering, these for?" poor conditions, and a constant For a long time I lived in feed of antibiotics, another orga- denial, until I took a philosophy nization, Advocates for Animals, class here at CSUSM.

You can eat "free-range" if you want, but those turkeys usually go to the same kinds of slaughterhouses. For more information see http://www.peta.org or http:// www.advocatesforanimals.org.

Arguments for cougars to ponder during thanksgiving BY JEANNE SAPP Pride Staff Writer There is a point-counterpoint being argued in various arenas in our nation - government, church, and schools. This unmediated debate centers on the question of national integrity. The real question is do we have any? And whose ethics, which political party, worldview, or economic demographic, will stand for those of the nation? The arguments are many and passionate and often contradictory: We are a Christian nation. But there is a constitutional separation of church and state. There is a constitutional right to privacy, upon which grounds the highest court in the land based its ruling that unborn children may be killed. But' capital punishment is, by definition, cruel and inhumane. Torturing prisoners is unethical, and as an ethical nation, we mustn't sanction it. But that part of the Geneva Convention is void because terrorists don't fight fair - they hide behind women, and in churches, and they dress like civilians. We are a democratic republic; it works well for us, and will therefore work for other nations. But who are we to say that the Middle East should, or can, follow our form of government? And if they choose to remain a despotic theocracy, do we still send them aid? Do we vaccinate the children who are then inculcated with the religion of hating Americans? If they despise everything we stand for, and we stand for healthy children and helping old people and capitalism, do we continue to aid them? It is interesting that many people are not at all uncomfortable being of two minds on any debate. The most popular spin the past few years? "I support the troops but I'm against the war." The men and woman who comprise the troops have sworn to defend and protect the Constitution, and if the nation over which that Constitution rests sends them to war, they go. If you support the military, doesn't it follow that you support the nation that military protects? Perhaps we just want to avoid that quagmire that society found itself in when our men and women of the armed forces returned from Vietnam - exhausted, injured, sick, and demonized. The United States of America was once the moral voice of the* world. Those in disagreement with our current administration will howl at that statement, because it offends their sensibilities that any nation should hold itself above others in moral or ethical behavior. Yet those same people would say we are morally obligated to take this stand or that stand in the world. Some might base those obligations on faith: I'm a Christian, and Christians are supposed to feed and clothe the poor. Or a political viewpoint - I'm a Democrat, and we believe in social equality for all. I'm a Republican and we need to provide jobs for everyone who wants one. I'm an atheist, but you don't kill another person because it's just wrong. Either we do maintain a strong moral and ethical national identity, even as we argue, sometimes in court, about what exactly is moral and ethical. Or we crawl off into a corner under the guise of some false humility and ask who are we to say what is right or wrong. �THE PRIDE 1 A 1 TH ^ Tuesday, November 22, 2005 lj Thanksgiving out on the BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and fun.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Don't feel guilty if this item seems unfamiliar. Deprived, maybe, but not guilty. It's one thing to be ignored by TV, two more by radio, but this isn't even a matter for most any given sect of the under-the-radar faithful, for most of them have yet to bear Witness to the Lord of Lard, also known as Raymond Watts, also heard as "PIG". In fact, this latest release was initially only available overseas under the moniker of 'WATTS', but we can save marketing details for later, perhaps when "Pigmata" is actually made available through the average music store. First, let's get down to the gritty gristle of classification, of genre. No, I don't like to think of my music as predictable any more than you like yours dismissed as 'weird'. Nonetheless, this time there's really no getting around one of the most reviled labels in modern music history. "Industrial." Not since 'Rock' and 'Metal' began acknowledging their many illegitimate children (and parasitic twins) has there been a more nebulous sonic-flag. Some make it a family quilt, others a diaper and still others simply use it like a hanky...then there's the issue of what pocket they keep it in. And like so many things we wished we'd discovered, 'Industrial' was probably born before you were, during the dawn of electronic music and the twilight of free-love music. A coincidence? Nevermind. Two of the more often acknowledged forefathers were "Psychic TV" and "Throbbing Gristle". More performance art ventures than bands, their 'industrial music' might best be described as a liaison between punk, jazz and disco wherein all parties are as profoundly intoxicated as they are ugly.

It's almost as if people preferred electronic music for dancing rather than tearing the world apart. Many might credit the 'band' (Industrial acts often revolve around one or two core musicians) "Ministry" with establishing the 'electro-metal' favored by fans of "Static-X" and "Rammstein" or the 'industrial-pop/rock' of "nine inch nails/Trent Reznor" and "Marilyn Manson". Indeed, other two-decades-and-counting outfits like "Skinny Puppy" and "KMFDM" have become more like unusually-diverserock than ugly-techno. Raymond Watts, among the few who know the name, is best known for-his contributions to KMFDM (an acronym of the German saying 'No Pity for the Masses'), but tp truly prepare someone for PIG, they'd need to imagine every rocker or metal-head who ever used keyboards, synthesizers, programming etc. having a big party together. Now imagine a lanky yet rugged Brit in the alley behind them, getting creative with their garbage and kinky with their girlfriends. It took a week's worth of machismo to say that, but one of the best things about the mighty swine is that he's too much of a lecher to be a chauvinist, too violent to be a Neanderthal, and too unmarketabley creative to be a punk. Almost a decade ago, when "Sinsation" was released on Trent Reznor's now defunct record label, I learned something that I still hold as a personal creative philosophy: Every single negative thing about humanity can be turned into astoundingly beautiful 3 rt. PIG, like the best of Industrial MassDestructions, and the best of Punk's intentions, puts you in what I call the 'Dance Pit'. Don't cut a rug; disembowel it. The interchange and interplay of seemingly polarized elements marks each and every track of "Pigmata" like a salad tossed with gravy. Watts has a guttural roar and a sinister croon that even the most jaded listener couldn't dismiss as a mere shock-affectation. Though I admit it might be hard to say the same thing about song titles like "God Rod" or "On the Slaughterfront". In some places the guitar crush splits the world, only to lay the tracks that bring you down, down, down into leisurely grooves and BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Images courtesy of Metropolis Records epic duets with divas, sirens, and the filthy whores we know as 'samples'. Unlike his previous albums, "Pigmata" is not only noticeably more guitar-driven, yet lacking in darkly serene instrumentals, but the production is far less polished, maintaining 'live' rather than futuristic textures. It's not uncommon for artists to harness the height of technology, only to return to something comparatively organic. In this case Watts also seems to favor clunkier analog electronics, but his use of orchestral catgut, big band brass, and even mambo drums remains crisp and uncanny. One drawback to this 'natural' production, however, is that Watts' aforementioned filthy mouth is even harder to decipher. There are some damn catchy melodies here, but damned again if I can sing along with more than half the chorus. Music fans might question whether PIG is Better for people who prefer their music ugly, yet are curious about the other side (or vice versa), and I could list off all the music I absolutely love that could pass in the old folks home, but I think there's a place that Industrial has all to itself. There might still be some space available for a few of these garage punks pretending they have the skill or puberty to play metal. In the end, it's often a feeling of wretched boredom with the lion's portion of music that leads to animals like PIG, who stare through stray hair and veins as the whole mess is slopped out, stirred with copper wire, and offered, to the lucky ones, as a way to fertilize all that mud in their ears.

Trolley bells ring and shrubbery lights flicker as skaters glide and fall on this unfamiliar ground. The ice skating rink known as "Fantasy on Ice" sits directly in front of the Horton Plaza mall. The main appeal of the rink is its outdoor location. While the typical ice rink is surrounded by smelly hockey bags and abandoned Gatorade bottles, Fantasy is surrounded with balloons and trees. Though it is roughly half the size of the Iceoplex rinks, Fantasy's lack of rowdy hockey players and penalty buzzers makes it preferable for those who aren't voraciously athletic. Skate into the holiday season with your family and friends and enjoy San Diego's only outdoor skating rink. Fantasy on Ice is open until Jan. 2006 and daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Cost is ten dollars for persons over twelve and eight dollars for anyone younger. All skating fees and sponsor proceeds benefit Children's Hospital and Health Center San Diego. This community event has become a tradition since 1997 and will remain a f un family * getaway every winter. Don't forget to bring money for parking.

If the plot, performances, directing, etc is up to par, it obviously only helps the film. Knowing ahead of time that Shane Black wrote "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang", I knew the two leading actors, Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer, would not only have chemistry but develop a hilarious love/hate relationship. Harry Lockhart (Downey Jr.), a petty thief from New York, escapes from the police after a robbery gone wrong. He stumbles into an audition of a casting call and gives an over the top spontaneous performance. Dabney Shaw (Larry Miller), a big time producer sees him as the next big thing and invites him out to Los Angeles. At a party, Harry meets Gay Perry (Kilmer), a gay detective, hence, his name. Also at the party, Harry runs into his childhood crush Harmony Lane (Michelle Monaghan), an aspiring actress. Gay agrees to coach Harry, who does not how to act like a real cop, by taking him to solve a murder of a young woman. During a series of adventures where people turn up dead and clues are found, Gay becomes more irritated by Harry's absent mindedness. Also, Harry is prone to accidents and loses his own finger, not once, but twice. I knew Downey Jr. and Kilmer would have chemistry, because Black has written Hollywood's funniest action comedies (e.g. the Lethal Weapon Trilogy and The Last Boy Scout) where the chemistry between the two leading actors would carry the movie. Also, in his directorial debut, Black's use of cinematography shows that he is competent behind the camera as well as writing. He captured action scenes with the ease of a seasoned director. The next best thing of "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" is the screenplay. Word by word, line by line, you can't help but to chuckle, and at times, burst out laughing. I know I did. For example, during an argument, Gay says, "If you looked in the dictionary next to the word 'idiot', you know what you'll find?" Harry cheerfully replies "A picture of me?" Typical Hollywood discourse would respond with "Yes". Kiss Kiss Bang Bang defies that logic by having Harry up the banter between the two characters by saying, "No, the definition of the word'idiot'." Black, knowing Hollywood's clichés and movie standards, embraces them and insults them simultaneously. For example, when Harry is about to interrogate a suspect by using the Russian roulette method (he empties a revolver, leaving one bullet in the chamber and spins it). Other films would have Harry ask his questions while pulling the trigger with no bullet being fired. But in this film, the bullet isfiredon the first try, killing the Images courtesy of Warner Brothers Pictures suspect. To top it off, Harry is shocked and ponders the question, "Don't I have like an eight percent chance of the gun being fired?" Another great line by Black, while insulting Hollywood, comes towards the end when Harry says "Don't worry, I saw Lord of the Rings. I'm not going to end this 17 times."

Spend time during a rainy day BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer W ith winter weather just around the corner, outdoor activities are soon to be put on the self. To avoid getting cabin fever, here are some f un activities that can be done inside. For the adventurous type, Solid Rock Climbing Gym in San Marcos is the place, .because it's indoors, so even if it's raining outside, one can still be active without getting drenched. If water is your thing, but cold, windy weather isn't, then gyms with indoor pools, like YMCA or L. A Fitness, may meet your satisfaction. If you're looking to add a little more punch to your day, Dave and Busters is an exciting restaurant with a shooting arcade equipped with service call that would make anyone forget about the stormy weather outside. Spend your time eating yummy food like Philly cheese steak sandwiches, and nachos while playing simulated golf, baseball, basketball, surfing and any other activity that is typically meant for outdoor recreation. If the mere fact of going outside to drive to any of these places is a turn off, then stock up now on activities that keep you busy in the comfort of your home. First off, to take advantage of a day indoors, have a comfy pair of pajamas on hand. Movies are a great place to start, thanks to places like Blockbuster who, for a small monthly fee, allows unlimited movie rentals so you don't have to worry about late fees. Sometimes being cooped up indoors allows one to discover his or her creative side. Make sure to have plenty of paint, brushes, an art book and you just might find your inner artist. Bad weather also makes for a great excuse to get organized. Go through old pictures that were stuffed under the bed and make a scrapbook, look around your home for spare buttons, ribbon, colored paper and have at it. When the weathers cold and rainy, sometimes it's just nice to curl up next to the fireplace with a good book and escape mentally. The fact is, just because the weather may hinder outdoor hobbies, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the day. Give yourself a day to catch up on some long lost hobbies or take a much needed nap from the stress of everyday life. Just like squirrels stock up on nuts for the long winter ahead, start accumulating things that will keep you busy indoors while the weather keeps you from the outdoors. c iliS! "Wal-Mart: T he High Cost of Low Price' BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer The documentary "WAL*MART: The High Cost of Low Price" reveals thefinancialdestruction of having a corporation in the neighborhood. Created by Robert Greenwald, the Wal-Mart film travels through the United States, talking with small business owners who are now out of business. The story of Wal-Mart's impact is similar across the .country: Family-owned businesses can't compete with Wal-Mart's low prices. Though small businesses provide better wages, healthcare, and vacation time than Wal-Mart corporations, the cheap price of the corporation's merchandise ultimately attracts the most customers. As the supercenter steals shoppers away from smaller stores, those stores go out of business. In Middlefield, Ohio H&H Hardware founder Don Hunter tells how his little country store was overtaken by a Wal-Mart. In Hearne, Texas the town is described as looking hit by a neutron bomb, due to the now empty buildings and desolate streets. Cathedral City, California is short on police officers and fire fighters, due to city subsidies given to a new Wal-Mart. "I've seen a lot of companies crucified just because of one entity...commissioners do nothing but lay down the red carpet for Wal-Mart," said Hunter. Another man likens Wal-Mart to a Chinese company with American Board members. One person calls the store a monopoly that is going on a rampage through the American economy. At one point during the film, booklets entitled "How Wal-Mart is destroying the World" are distributed in Hunter's store. In China, Wal-Mart factory workers are paid less than three dollars a day. They are instructed to lie to inspectors about hours worked and the cleanliness of the factory. If the workers tell the truth about their mistreatment, their employers fire them. The factories in China have no air conditioning. One girl, referred to as "Princess" says she sits in her own sweat the entire day because her boss won't allow her to have a fan. At Wal-Mart factories in Bangladesh, workers are paid between 13 and 17 cents per hour. One woman brushes her teeth using her finger and ash from the fire. She does this because she can't afford a toothbrush or toothpaste with the wages she receives from working at the factory. Such instances explain why Wal-Mart can afford its 'everyday low prices', complete with a personified yellow blob. Lee Scott, CEO of Wal-Mart, calls the company "career and family-orientated" and "vital to the community". At the same time, Wal-Mart employees talk of working off the clock, unaffordable healthcare, and not having enough money for food. Wal-Mart is facing legal battles in three states regarding wage and hour abuses. Managers have reportedly BY LIZZ OSBORNE Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy ofwww.walmartmovie.com gone into computers under false IDs and moved workers' overtime hours to the following week's check. One employee has to choose between buying food and buying medicine when her children are ill, because she can't afford the health plan Wal-Mart offers. Another man gets in trouble for offering co-workers money to buy lunch when he sees they aren't eating during lunch breaks. Wal-mart encourages its employees to seek help from the government, via Welfare or Medicaid, instead of paying for healthcare with company money. A male employee explains, "You go to work knowing you aren't making enough money to make it, and yet you gotta fake it and put a smile on your face." In addition to financial lawsuits, Wal-Marts in Texas, Okla., and Mass. were fined for Clean Water Act violations. These stores kept pallets of pesticides and herbicides in their parking lots, where many of the products tore open and leaked onto the asphalt. When it rained, the chemicals washed into nearby rivers-sources of drinking water for many homes in the area. When a river keeper in Bentonville, AR reported environmental violations to Wal-Mart management, they didn't seem to care. Then she got a lawyer. In response to the corporate takeover in his city, Reverend James Lawson said, "It is written in the new testament 'the love of money is the root of all evil.'" He does not approve of the way in which Wal-Mart treats its employees and feels corporate greed is to blame. Lee Scott says a job at Wal-Mart is the path to the American dream. Lee Scott made 27,207,799 dollars last year. The average Wal-Mart employee made 13,861. It seems Scott does not understand the nightmare of minimum wage. Producer/Director Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films are taking viewers on an extraordinary journey that will change the way they think, feel - and shop, as thousands of free screenings of "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" debut in households across the nation. Have you ever wondered how the low cost of purchasing your underwear at Wal-Mart affects individual workers, consumers, small business owners and communities across the nation, and the entire world? If so, I highly recommend watching this movie. Although one-sided, Greenwald sheds light on how retail giant Wal-Mart mistreats employees, lowers property values, puts small businesses out of business, exploits factory workers over seas, fails to provide secure parking areas, pollutes the environment and picks up perks and subsidies all in the name of making a quick profit. In all fairness, Wal-Mart is not the only major organization guilty of the violations highlighted in this film, but it is certainly a grand example of a recent global trend of excessive greed in the name of fair-market value. This point is made quite clear near the beginning as the film centers on a series of shots of abandoned Main Streets, empty store after empty store, with Bruce Springsteen's version of "This Land Is Your Land." From there, it only gets worse. In China, a young factory employee talks about working conditions. "I'm sitting there, dripping with sweat all day long," she says. Employees in China say they are housed in dismal dormitories; they may choose to live elsewhere, but still have to pay the dorm rent. In a recent press release, when asked why he decided to make this film, Greenwald states, "A neighbor of mine, who had some health issues, was hired at Wal-Mart. As we were talking about it, I expressed my relief that he would now have health insurance. He replied that no, unfortunately the coverage offered at Wal-Mart was so expensive and had so many requirements; he couldn't afford it and might not qualify even if he could pay. He let me know that the really nice managers at the store had told him how to apply for state-subsidized health coverage available to low-income residents of California, paid for by tax dollars. Impossible, I thought. No way was a corporation the size of Wal-Mart using public programs for its employees, and so I started to research, read and investigate. The more I learned, the larger the scope of the Wal-Mart story became. And the bigger and more complex the story became, the more clear it was that the only way to tell this story was to go small, human and deeply personal." I agree with his tactics, and indeed found the movie to be human, deeply personal, and even downright disturbing at times. So much so, in fact, I will not even stop at Wal-Mart to browse, despite my natural inclination as a starving student to-go after bargains whenever possible.

University officials anticipate the latest tuition increase will be the last for the 2012-2013 school year - even though the state may cut the CSU budget by another $100 million if year-end tax rev- • Average undergraduate student basic fee (in dollars) '01 s potted on campus '02 enues come up short. "If they cut another $100 million from the budget, our portion would be $2.5 million," said Cal State San Marcos spokeswoman Margaret Lutz. "We have some ideas on how to keep those cuts from negatively impacting students or instruction." She said this may include shift- cuts, growing class sizes and a wage freeze caused by statewide budget cuts. Don Barrett, CFA chapter president at Cal State San Marcos, said the protest drew a small crowd of students, including a few who joined in. Last week, faculty at the CSU East Bay and Domínguez Hills campuses held a one-day strike, the first in CFA history, Barrett said. "We've never struck before," he said. "In the past, we had to threaten to strike to get the chancellor's office moving and this time we felt we needed to go qn strike. I want to be clear, the strike was not over the lack of a contract but over salary issues that happened over the previous contract. The strike reflected the chancellor's decision to not treat the faculty fairly."

The teachers did a flash mob to the Aretha Franklin song "Think" ("you better think about what you're trying to do to me"), marched .around campus and chanted about their desire for a new contract. The protestors hoped to raise awareness about contract issues between the California State University system and the California Faculty Association, which represents 23,000 teachers and support staff at 23 CSU campuses statewide. The teachers have been working without a contract since June of last year, when the previous three-year agreement expired. The teachers and support staff are upset about university funding " Volume XXXVIII '10 ing some carryover funds from last year and revenue from selfsupporting operations on campus as well as using extra money that accumulated when CSUSM exceeded its fall enrollment goals.

Native American H eritage Month celebrated with new facility Kristin Melody Pride Staff Writer CSUSM opened the California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center (CICSC), Nov. 17, in the Social and Behavioral Science Building to facilitate Native American activities on campus and collaborate with California tribes. "There is simply no other place in California like this one," President Karen Haynes said at the opening speech. November is Native American Heritage month and the CICSC is open to all California tribes including the 18 tribes in southern California. It is a meeting place for American Indian Student Association (AISA) and many other outreach and development programs. "With the opening of this center we are creating a brighter future... and creating history once again at Cal State San Marcos," President Haynes continued. The CICSC addresses Native Americans face a unique challenge in attending college as they most often are leaving a reservation for the first time. This is the first center dedicated to Native Americans in the CSU system. There are more than 10 student members of AISA and they aim to "create solidarity among Indian students...and to meet other American Indians," Tommy Devers, a CSUSM Masters of Sociology student and member of the Pauma Indian Tribe said. "Native American peopled dreams are just as important as anybody else's," Chairman James Ramos said, the first Native American to be appointed to the California Board of Education. Dr. Joely Proudfit is the CICSC director and collaborates with local tribes and tribal leaders to run the Native American Advisory A mountain lion was spotted on campus Wednesday night. It was the fourth time in five years that the big cats have been seen on university property. About 10 p.m. Nov. 16, campus police got a call from an emergency kiosk in student Lot F at the south end of campus. When they responded, police spotted the mountain lion, or cougar, heading back up into the hills near Lot F, according to university spokeswoman, Margaret Lutz. Lutz said it was the first time a mountain lion had been seen on campus since October of last year (lions were also spotted several times at the south end of campus in 2007 and 2008) . 'With so much open space in the area, we have a lot of wildlife that comes on campus at nights looking for food. People say they've spotted deer. The moun^ tain lions always seem to show up in the fall months and they usually always hunt alone," Lutz said. Cougars are native to the area and CSUSM's official mascot. The campus is built on Luiseno Indian laud. The university's original mascot was Tukwut, cougar, in Luiseno. Although there's never been a dangerous encounter between a mountain lion and students or faculty, Lutz said the California Department of Fish and Game is advising students to avoid walking alone on campus at night. If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run (because it will trigger the cat's instinct to chase) but stand your ground, wave your arms and make noise to scare it off. If a lion is spotted, call campus police from a kiosk or from a cell phone at 760-750-4567. Council, the only one of its kind in the CSU system. In six months, the CICSC and its partners developed a Luiseno language learning program for the Nintendo DSI. The center has resources including workstations, offices and research capabilities to focus on concerns and issues regarding tribes or Native American students. "I joined to help out the youth and reach out," CSUSM student Tommy Cooper of the San Pasqual tribe said.

Over 1,200 fans at MiraCosta College cheered on the team and saw guard Tim Steed throw down a thunderous dunk in the first minutes of thè game. Saturday, Nov. 12 At 2 p.m., the day began with CSUSM Volleyball competing at the A.I.I. Conference Tournament in Phoenix, AZ. Having already won their first two matches, the second-seeded Cougars easily blew by Mayville State in straight sets, setting up a championship game rematch with top seed La Sierra. CSUSM Volleyball played again that night at 10 p.m. At 4 p.m., across the country, Cal State San Marcos women's soccer kicked off the A i i . Cham- pionship game. Despite playing in hostile territory, the 13th ranked and top seeded Cougars persevered to take a 1-0 decision with a Kaleigh Dodson goal in the first half.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer Poet Clayton Eshleman was featured as the last part of the fall semester's Community and World Literary Series (CWLS) on Thursday. Professor Mark Wallace introduced Eshleman with much praise as having been at the heart of American poetry since the early 1960s. Eshleman has contributed to the literary world through his own poetic production and the trans- lating of poems from poets Cesar Vallejo, Pablo Neruda and Henri Michaux. Eshleman took the stage and announced that he would be reading nine poems from his book "Anticline," thefirstpoem a recounting of an experience he and his wife had in Italy. Following the first poem, he shared that he has been translating poetry as long as he has been reading and writing it. Between poems, Eshleman would often share anecdotes and personal trivia which gave the audience a perspective into his nature as a writer. "I write a lot of poems about art or artists," he said, sharing how if he had been turned to the left or right, he would have been a painter. Eshleman's reading of his poetry often felt conversational, especially in the literal sense during his last reading, a dialogue between himself and the artist Max Ernst. His imagery, at times graphic, led to much laughter in F eatures the audience, as well as the occasional audible "Wow!" Even Eshleman laughed through some his own words as he read. During the Questions and Answers portion, topics approached included when Eshleman started writing, his view of surrealism, thoughts on the future of publishing houses in the internet age and the importance and influence of travel. Dr. Wallace, who headed the series, felt that this semester's CWLS was beneficial for students because he brought in writers normal literary exposure. The CWLS will begin again in who are challenging for students, the spring semester. pushing students away from their No Shave November for a c ause P rofessor S potlight Helps raise money for cancer research Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer Ever wondered why men seem to neglect their beards during the winter? Maybe as their way of staying warm or in honor of a tradition called No Shave November. On Oct. 31, dedicated men shaved their beards for the last time to grow out for the duration of November. Most men decide to grow out their facial hair to support prostate cancer awareness month. The goal is to embrace hair and let it grow to unimaginable lengths. Since most cancer patients lose their hair to chemotherapy treatments, non-shavers can donate the money they would normally spend to maintain their hair to cancer research. No Shave November is less expensive than shaving every couple of days and is tax deductible. According to the National Cancer Institute website,. prostate cancer is "cancer that forms in tissues of the prostate, usu- ally occurring in older men." In the United States, there were approximately 240,890 new cases and 33,720 deaths in 2011. There are many organizations funding research to cure prostate cancer, such as "ZERO—The Project to End Prostate Cancer." ZERO is a charity that not only wants to reduce prostate cancer, but end the disease entirely. Their main goal is to lengthen the lives of men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer by providing them with treatment to cure their cancer, manage their illness and have a life that doesn't involve constant treatment to try and end their suffering. This particular organization offers ways to help raise prostate cancer awareness as well as promote early diagnosis by offering free testing. It also gives patrons a chance to support organizations such as "The Great Prostate Cancer Challenge & DASH FOR DAD," a national race series.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer Websites such as idosing.org, idoser.com and i-dose.us are selling audio tracks which provide the listener with similar side effects of taking specific drugs. These listening experiences are known as "sonic drugs" and "idosing." According to nbclosangeles. com, "Sonic drugs work through binaural beats ~ the playing of two slightly different tones and frequencies into both ears simultaneously/' Many sites, including i-dose.us, provide online shoppers with the ability to purchase audio tracks appropriately titled to the effects they have on the listener. Some tracks offered on the site include "Deep Sleep" which is said to help wijth sleep-related disorders, "Quit Smoking" which helps the listener to quit smoking and "Stop Alcohol Abuse" which helps the listener treat alcoholism. While some tracks assist in treating disorders and addictions, there are also other websites which offer audio experiences that provide the effects of stimulants, both legal and illegal. Experts are advising caution when approaching these audio tracks . "It's not like you listen to an i-dose for crack cocaine and the next day you're smoking a crack pipe [...] But I do think that if you have an impressionable 13 - 14-year-old kid that does an idose, it may drop their inhibition if they're presented with the real drug to try it," addictions specialist Dr. Gregory Smith said in an interview with Colleen Williams of NBCLA. One website that offers this legal listening experience is i-doser.com. Some of the MP3 tracks sold on the site provide the listener with the effects of anti-depressants, inspiration and confidence. However, some tracks are named after and provide the listener with the effects of illegal substances including marijuana, cocaine and LSD.

Well, that poll was conducted in 1981. Sorry if that mislead you. However, I feel a little mislead by inferred holiday statistics, too. Apparently, 100 percent of Americans begin celebrating Christmas before Halloween. At least, that's what retailers seem to claim. Some stores' Christmas layaway began in October; so of course, the deals begin by then. Of course, your family has a large Christmas list, so you'd better get a head start.

What have I got to be thankful for?" Unlike Sally, it's not hard for me to think about what I 'm thankful for. I'm grateful for my family, my friends, etc. I 'm thankful for the things I have. And the times when I'm not cramming on multiple papers due in the same week, I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to be in college. Being thankful isn't the only thing people do on Thanksgiving though (not to say that we shouldn't be thankful any other day of the year). It is also a time for people take part in nationwide traditions and more personal traditions that transcend generations. -Let's face it. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of food. Needless to say, food is a big deal - or rather, it becomes a big deal, especially once the holiday season rolls around. Foodconsumer.org weighs some statistics: practically two-thirds of turkey from the U.S. last year originate from just six states (with Minnesota as the winner at 47 million) and 735 million pounds of cranberries were produced in the U.S. in the same year. Food consuming aside, Thanksgiving's traditions differ from household to household, but many remain almost universal in the U.S. If there is a football fan present within the house, that television will be on for the game. If you aren't watching football and you aren't able to attend in person, you're probably watching the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, held in New York City, on NBC or CBS. Some people are just anxious for Christmas tofinallyarrive. Others are just too stuffed to do anything. Thanksgiving has come a long way since the 1600s, and I for one am glad that so many people have made it unique to.their own personal traditions and meanings. It doesn't matter what you do for Thanksgiving or who you do it with. So don't worry if you don't have an actual turkey, if you can't stand football, if you forgot about the parade or if none of these apply to what you do. The heart of the matter is to make memories that will stick for years.to come and to take time to appreciate your life*. You. don't have to think hard to answer Sally Brown's question. There is always something to be thankful for. — ;J|pi CASH for your t extbooks, a t Rebekah Green Pride Staff Writer November makes m e nostalgic, but not just for music of my distant past.

A rcade Fire's "Rebellion (ties)" depicts how sleep c an b e a n excuse to get a way from the realities of our lives. It fits well with the themes that I get from their album Funeral - the dramatic a nd often sad switch from childhood to adulthood a nd how the w ay w e see things b ack then seem to twist around completely as w e get older.

Feist's " 12 3 4" manages to sound happy a nd almost playful while dealing with issues of time a nd how fickle the heart c an b e w hen it remembers love. "A Thread Cut with a Carving Knife" by Stars tells the stories of four different people in three different situations (romantic, troubling, etc.) a nd shows how no matter w ho you are or w hat y ou've b een through, life is indeed unpredictable a nd as fragile as a thread. Coldplay's "Paradise" sparks a sense of escaping the harshness of reality a nd finding comfort in your own paradise. It definitely makes you feel as though you are being lifted out of your life a nd you a re given four minutes a nd 39 seconds to hide a way in a paradise of your own.

"There is evidence that the combinations of caffeine and alcohol in these products pose a public health concern," Sharfstein continued. An article featured in NYdailynews.com declared that Four Loko, another caffeinated, alcoholic drink, allegedly caused the death of a 21-year-old fe- male who drove her car into a telephone pole in Maryland. Many states have already placed bans on caffeine-alcohol combination drinks including Washington, Utah, Michigan and Oklahoma. "We are aware of the concerns expressed by various regulators and will ensure that all JOOSE products meet both state and national health and safety guidelines," continued Michail. "As the creator of this category of products, United Brands has always taken pride in the high quality of our products, and we will continue to lead in the development of JOOSE products." The FDA requires that these manufacturers amend their products, or the FDA will take appropriate action to "ensure that the products are removed from the marketplace." Changes for some companies have already begun while others, such as JOOSE, are still in the works. Phusion Projects, the makers of Four Loko, announced on Nov. 16 the intent to remove caffeine from its drinks. Other caffeine-alcohol combination drink makers, Miller and Anheuser-Busch, agreed to discontinue beverages such as Sparks, Tilt, and Bu4 Extra within past ypara. To date, the only approved caffeine by the FDA is as an additive for use in soft drinks in concentrations of no greater than 200 parts per million (ppm). The FDA has not approved caffeine for use at any level in alcoholic beverages.

TURN TO P. 10 FOR A REVIEW "n a college student's life, convenience is important. I .A credit card makes life a bit easier. With one swipe, the bank electronically sends your money to pay for what you need or want. Collegeboard (www.collegboard.com/) and the Federal Trade Commission give some tips to students about what to do before signing up for a credit card. The truth about a credit card is that you, the spender, are using money that they, the credit card companies, are just loaning you money. It is a common fact that some users forget. The credit card has a preset limit on how much one can spend, but it brings severe consequences if payments are not met. Depending on the card, there is a minimum amount allowed as the monthly payment. The problem is that if you only pay the minimum, you need to send rest of the payment in next month's bill plus what you owe from that bill. In the case that a user misses a payment, the bank or credit card company adds a harsh fine to the bill. Sometimes thefineprint of the contract hides unwanted fees. In the end, it becomes a snowball of debt. Gloria Diaz, a third year Anthropology and Women's Studies double major, gave her thought on the usage of credit cards.

Without proper care, convenient things become a hassle. Mainly, save the credit card as a last resort. Only use it if you know you have the money to pay off the balance. Do read and understand all the fine print. Some cards have hidden charges glow on us daily, and the cloudless open sky barrages us with very cold air (particularly if you arrive at campus early or leave later at night). Meteorologists predict sunny skies for the beginning of the week, but those skies will be cloudless and cold with highs within the 60s. Most days during winter, I still see people going about their day in shorts, flip-flops and t-shirts. To each his own, I suppose, but there are solutions to preparing for the multi-temperature-filled days ahead. As the so-called San Diego County "winter" looms in the distance, it is safe to say that layering is the best method to prepare for the weather. If you are not up for relying on just the sun to warm you, arrive at school bundled up (especially recommended to those early risers), then layer down as the day wears on. Now along with books, you can lug around that large coat that hid in the back of your closet for the past three hot seasons. For being someone who has never experienced snow, but can barely dress right for this weather, I am glad that it does not occur here. One can only imagine the unprepared mayhem that would bring. Many say that the four seasons do not exist in southern California. I really cannot disagree with that statement. Often, it feels as though the weather here is either hot or cold. The hot days usually seem to dominate the cold, and it would not be surprising to find flip-flops and sunny day beach shirts in the wardrobes of San Diegans. Some days we receive a much needed, sympathy-driven cold spell, with strong winds and the occasional random rain clouds (that always seems to follow you wherever you go). What residents of Southern California are used to, but are never quite prepared for, are the unpredictable weather patterns. Southern California is in for a La Niña this winter. Be prepared for dry weather, according to KPBS. org. Due to the coming dry climates, this upcoming winter season should experience little to no rain, which is certainly a relief from the on again off again showers that tend to hit students during the rush hour drive home. These dry spells stir trouble following winter though, with fire as the main adversary of the south.

The trip was organized by Sheryl Lutjens, director of the Women's Studies program, who has academic ties to Cuba going back over 30 years. She made her first journey to Cuba in 1979 - a two-week trip to study Cuban health programs. Since then, she has organized 14 trips to Cuba, the largest for a group of over 50 participants. The last three have been organized specifically as research trips, since conferences are not allowed by US regulations banning travel to Cuba. The trip in October was entitled "Busquedas Investigativas: Exploring Cuban Educational Practices." In this case, Lutjens gathered 17 educators from around the US. Each submitted an in-depth research plan, as well as their curriculum vitae, in order to be approved for a travel visa to Cuba. While the trip focused on education, each participant had his or her own more specific area of interest. Dawn Formo, the associate dean of instruction and academic programs for the College of Arts and Sciences, went to study literacy in Cuba. "Literacy rate in Cuba is amazing - nearly 100%. I went knowing what their literacy rate [was] and within a year of the revolution, they had eradicated illiteracy. We had an opportunity to visit several kinds of campuses... to see what's happening in the pre-schools up to the universities, so I was just very interested in what they are doing, because this is amazing. I mean, how" many countries can say this?" Jodie Lawston, an assistant professor in sociology, was focused on a completely different topic, studying the effect of edu- PHOTO COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA.ORG cation on incarceration rates. "As you see, every year, there's a 'get tough on crime' emphasis and less funding [for] education in the US," she said. "[I wondered] what criminal justice would look like in a society with high funding for education, whether they focus on rehabilitations versus punishment." The group spent roughly a week in Cuba, visiting Havana and various locations in the Villa Clara Province and touring various sites covering everything from pre-school education to Afrocuban studies to a special school for blind and deaf children. Certain days were dedicated specifically to working with Cuban educational partners on their research topics. According to the trip participants, some of the most interesting cultural exchanges happened outside the educational setting. "I didn't know what to expect, but the people we met were the most gracious I've met. Kind, and gen- erous... in every way," Formo said. "I mean, to experience a culture that has made it clear in so many ways that there are two main priorities, healthcare and education. To feel what it is to walk the streets in a culture where those are the two priorities, and with limited resources, you can't do everything. You make sacrifices... People are not starving, but there wasn't a lot. I mean, nobody wastes. They know how to make thoughtful, careful use of their resources. That was kind of 'wow.'" Lawston also feels that her viewpoint has been heavily influenced by the experience. "Since I've gotten back, I'll tell you that not a day that goes by that I haven't thought about Cuba. One of those most influential trips that I've had," she said. "I didn't expect that to happen." She was also surprised by something unexpectedly missing in Cuba. "I keep telling all my students this, there were no advertisements... There weren't scantily clad women in everything. All billboards were political or educational. It really brought it into light when we landed in Cancun, and the first billboard I saw was [for] Hooters." Lutjens said she is already planning another trip - her fifteenth, based on interest from colleagues who couldn't make it this time. "We may make the gathering a biannual event, rather than an annual one," she said. "Many people who went this year or in past years are interested in returning to continue their research." She does state that undergraduate students cannot attend, though it may be possible for graduate students if they get special permission from the US government. That may not always be the case, though. "I also went to begin conversations about establishing faculty and student exchanges," Dean Formo said, "so that Cal State faculty and students, if interested, could study in Cuba." ¡•I LGBTQ Pride C enter S afe s pace a nd fun p lace BY FAITH ORCINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER . to store their food, the study room also has a refrigerator and a microwave.

The Red Bull Barmaster Competition is a collegiate battle between CSUSM, SDSU, USD and UCSD where college students are chosen to represent their university and compete at bartending. Before the competition, Steven Greene cheerfully said he only had two aims: "To make sure everyone has a great time," and, "to win the Red Bull Barmaster title for CSUSM." Greene did his best to take home the title for CSUSM but came second to Ryan Neville from SDSU. Greene did have a large fan club cheering him on through the night. The CSUSM crowd had green bracelets representing our university and many were dressed in t-shirts with Greene's face on them. Greene and'his friends, in particular, liatf matching m ustaches. The competing barmasters served Red Bull-vodka cocktails to the many college students at the local pub where the competition was held. Most of the crowd was there to cheer for their university, and booze flowed through out the night until the competition ended at midnight.

I N C AIRN« MIM From average ioe to IV chef BY MAYA LIFTON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Sam Zien, better known as "Sam the Cooking Guy," came to San Diego on Nov. 16 and spoke at the Jewish Community Center. The talk covered his life, his background, his experience being on television, and how he reached his current level of success. At first, he was very unsure of his life path. "I never knew what I wanted to do," Zien said. As a result, he followed in the footsteps of his older brother, picked the same major, and went to the same school. After graduating, he found himself working at a job he hated and, For applications and information: he knew he wanted to change careers.

Zien wanted to cook things that other people would also be able to learn quickly and cook themselves. Soon after getting the idea, he made a demo tape and sent it out to five experts in the business. "Not one liked it," he said. As a result, he sent it to local San Diego stations, and finally his demo landed in the right hands. The show first started off as a segment a few minutes long that was played twice a week. Eventually, it grew into a half hour episode. Since then, Zien has experienced an incredibly high level of success with the format. He's won 12 Emmys, produced three books, and his show has become a national series on Discovery's Health channel.

While we are just around the corner from our much-needed Winter Break, the Thanksgiving holiday is a relaxing breather right beforefinalsweek. Thanksgiving is a time to spend with family and close friends. It is also a time where we should recognize all that we have in our lives. However, as poor college students, it can be difficult toflyback and forth to see family for the holidays. That doesn't mean that those who are here for Thanksgiving can't enjoy in all the holiday's festivities. On the day of Thanksgiving, Nov. 25, there will be two separate run/walk events. The Everything from charity events to yumpkinyie feasts for students annual Run for the Hungry event is held in downtown San Diego at Petco Park East. You can choose to participate in a 10K run, which begins at 7:10 a jn., or a 5K run/walk, which beings at 8:15 a.m. The organizations that will benefit from this race are the San Diego Food Bank, Foodmobile, and Jewish Family Services. These nonprofit organizations are dedicated to helping anyone who cannot afford food. The event will also collect food that these organizations can distribute on Thanksgiving. If you can't personally make a donation, there are other ways you can contribute. You can volunteer at the event, which may include tasks such as setting up tables with food for the runners and walkers pnee the race is over, or serving them water throughout the run/ walk. The second option is to ask friends or neighbors if they would be willing to donate canned food for the event. If you are interested in participating in the actual race, you need to sign up ahead of time. To find more information, you can visit the site at www. kathylopere vents .com/hungry/ . In Oceanside, Pacific Marine Credit Union will be celebrating their fifth annual O'side Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day, an event that benefits the Oceanside schools, the Move Your Feet Before You Eat! Foundation, and the Virginia Ann Scheunemann Memorial Fund. The Turkey Trot has several events, including a five mile run/walk, as well as an open 5K run/walk and a "locals only" 5K run/walk, as well as kids' events. The event has raised over $46,000 in the last three years and continues to honor their commitment to fundraising again this year. Whether you wish to participate or just to check it out, you can find more information on www.osideturkeytrot.com But what if you find yourself unable to leave campus? Start the week's festivities early. The American Language and Culture Institute (ALCI) will be hosting a Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie Feast on Tuesday, Nov. 23, from 2:30. - 3:45 p.m. in Commons 206.

Azusa Pacific placed 6th. By finishing in the top-30 overall (including individuals), CSUSM's top-three runners earned All-American status. Leading the way was Cady Villarreal. An Ail-American last season, the junior had not finished first on the team in any race this season. That changed at Nationals, with Villarreal running 18:18 to place 8th in the field. Second on the team was Kelly Thompson who placed 15th at 18:30. Thompson, a sophomore who led CSUSM to a win at its Conference Championship earlier this month, has proven time and again that she will come through at big meets, and she did so on Saturday. In 2009, Thompson was the wild card that keyed CSUSM's national championship. In 2010, that honor belongs to Carol Schryver, who ran a fantastic 18:33 to finish 17th in the field. While Schryver was expected to be in the team's top-five runners, for hei* to finish third on the team and in the overall top-20 was a huge boost to Coach Scott's team. Fourth was reliable Jessica Sandoval, who has been the team's most consistent runner throughout the season. Sandoval finished 19th at 18:36. Finally, newcomer Suzanne Cornwall sealed thé victory for the Cougars. Coming to CSUSM all the way from Maryland, Cornwell took 29th in the field, and when she crossed the finish line at 18:47, the team victory was secured. Also competing for the Cougars were Jen Albright (79th; 19:26) and Chelsey Cortez (84th; 19:29). "In professional sports, the hardest thing to do is repeat. The next hardest thing is to be ranked first and win," commented Coach Scott. ' The girls overcame a lot, and lived up to all the expectations. I can't be prouder of them."

PHOTO COURTESY OF APPLE.COM (RIGHT) AND GOMONEWS.COM (BOTTOM) HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1 BY MILA PANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" is well-paced and will keep you mostly interested and engaged for the 146 minutes of its entirety. Maybe the reason why it is so engaging is because the entire film functions as a great big tease. You wait over two hours for a payoff, enjoying the ride that teasing generally brings, but are ultimately cut short by the credits, receiving no relief. You also may want to refresh your memory on what happened in the last couple films but once you remember, the movie continues on a straight path, leading up to the film's end that will having you sighing over the eight month wait for the climax promised in the final installment, released in July in 3D. Without Hogwarts to protect him, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), with the help from Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), is on the run from the various bad guys who are hunting him on behalf of Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), who takes lessons of tyranny from Hitler with his own style of racial cleansing. Predictably, love triangle drama threatens to break the three friends up as they are stranded in the woods, searching for the four Horcruxes (pieces of Voldemort's soul, remember?). With the film dragging in the middle, it absolutely soars in an animated sequence illustrating the origins of the Deathly Hallows, waking you instantly from the monotony of the film's middle. Also of note is an all too brief dance scene between Harry and Hermione to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "O, Children," which is fascinating in its awkwardly sweet placement. The film briefly pulls in some new faces (Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, and John Hurt), giving the film more artistic credibility, but never uses the actors' full talent (Hurt is only near the end and barely noticed as background). The film also fails to take advantage of some of the other original characters; Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) and the Aryan Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) are merely onscreen for the sake of being onscreen. Their characters aren't used to their full extent, putting their usually sinister doings on hold for the sake of their forced appearances. However, there are saving graces. Rupert Grint, clearly no longer a child, shines as the jealous Ron and little Dobby the elf makes his return in a chorus of "awwwws" and you can't help but join in. James Andrew Eric Phelps and Oliver Martyn John Phelps are comedic scene stealers as the twins, Fred and George Weasley, Ron's brothers. Finally, there's Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. Fiennes, looking like the illicit lovechild of Nosferatu and a vampire bat with an eerie sweetness that reminds one of Martha Stewart on a bender, delivers a sickly disturbing onscreen presence that has you longing to see his fascinating face in every single frame. Was it truly necessary to break the final film up into two parts? Probably not. Much of Part I consists of the three friends bouncing from place to place, looking to be in a real dire hurry, without discovering much of anything to make it worth their, and our, while. However, the real test will be the final film (in which Gary Oldman makes a long-awaited return as Sirius Black). With six previous films and 146 minutes of drawn-out teasing in Part 1, the payoff better be worth it.

Other Native American leaders on our campus include Dr. Joely Proudfit, part of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. Dr. Proudfit is also a member of the California Indian Sovereignty Center and The Native American Advisory Council. The student-based American Indian Student Alliance (AISA) is an active student organization based on increasing awareness and acceptance of Native Americans. Dr. Proudfit encourages people to come visit the California Indian Sovereignty Center and AISA to become engaged and involved in Native American culture. Any student may join AISA, whether they are Native American or not. Dr. Proudfit said, "If students would like to get engaged in the Native American community, here on campus, they should enroll in some Native American based courses." She went on to say the courses really brought students closer to thè communities around campus. Typically, in the spring, students get to take field trips to local reservations and speak with community members about tribal life. In the fall, community leaders come to CSUSM to talk about the challenges faced by Native Americans. Also, a Native American Studies minor may be taken. Recently, our campus recognized National Native American Heritage Month by showcasing the Native American film, "Older than America." The presentation drew a full house and some audience members had to sit on the floor. The film was the first to be entirely directed and produced by a female Native American named Georgina Lightning.

In the case of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," the language barrier between Swedish and English becomes a problem if the original were to make its way to American theaters. Foreign films struggle with American audiences, so releasing them here becomes less desirable. Remakes are also made on the small screen, with shows like "Battlestar Galactica," "The Office," and "V." These shows have their differences from the original material; however, they are still based on the same premise. As remade television shows are given the green light, Hollywood chooses not to support original content. Though some remakes are successful, for example "The Office," most seem to fall short of surpassing the original material. Until Hollywood considers this, audiences can expect to see more recycled movies and shows.

"Therefore, it is critical that the CSU receives adequate state support and continues its initiatives in the areas of technology use, new public and private partnerships and r evaluation of educational outcomes and assessment so we can continue to provide access to quality higher education for the people of California." Tidal Wave II refers to the antici8pated 500,000 additional students expected to seek higher education in California over the next decade, including nearly 100,000 at the CSU. Opening day enrollment increased this fall on 18 of the 22 CSU campuses, and six campuses - Bakersfield, Dominguez Hills, Monterey Bay, San Bernardino, San Marcos and Stanislaus - reached their highest enrollment figures since the early 1990's. As expected, the CSU's newest campus, Monterey Bay, experienced the highest percentage growth at 26 percent with a 330-student increase to 1,586. The next largest increase in percentage of students was 9 percent at San Bernardino with a 1,134 gain. San Marcos grew by 6 percent adding 275 students this fall and increasing from 448 to 4,684 since opening in 1990. Other campuses with large gains were San Jose with 1,022, Fresno with 900 and Fullerton with 866. The full-time equivalency enrollment figure, which counts students based on percentage of credits they take toward a full 15-credit load, also increased about 2 percent from 260,927 to 266,536, considerably higher than the level at which the CSU is funded by the state. San Diego continues to have the largest enrollment with 30,593, followed by Long Beach at 27,810, Northridge at 127,652, San Francisco at 26,983 and San Jose at 26,896. The CSU has the largest enrollment of any senior higher education system in the country. Although about 95 percent of CSU students are from California, the CSU enrollment also includes students from every state in the country and from at least 137 different countries. Minority groups represent more than half of the CSU student body. �Teachers continued from page 1 Among the recommendations is a proposal that teacher education courses begin as early as the f reshman or s ophomore, year. Currently, students who want to be teachers complete their four-year degrees and then "walk over to the School of Education and say, " 'I want to be a teacher,"' said CSU Long Beach President Robert Maxson, chair of the Presidents' Group. T his p roposal w ould i dentify s tudents i nterested in teaching at an earlier age, begin teacher training earlier, and possibly encourage more students to consider a career in teaching.

There's no reason to produce more teachers if they c an't teach." The Presidents' Group was divided into three subcommittees to research issues and to develop recommendations in the areas of curriculum and assessment standards; rewards and resources; and market share and CSU collaboration. The subcommittees included local urban school superintendents and other K-12 representatives, members of the business community, administrators from the California C ommunity C olleges, members of the Academic Senate of the CSU and vice presidents, d eans, c hairs and faculty from various CSU campuses.

D " W"n the mid-nineteenth century the taking of nude im I ages, sold under the counter, helped create the photo I graph industry. One can be reasonably assured that M the first obscene telephone call occurred soon after the Bell Telephone Company began its network service to homes. When silent pictures came of age, the "stag file" was invented for the male audience. Later, adult oriented theaters originated to provide entertainment on the big screen. Sexually explicit films released to theaters were later replaced by VCR's hawking titles such as "Deep Throat," "The Devil in Miss Jones," and "Behind the Green Door." One could watch these "classics" in the privacy of their own home. In the 1980'$ the mass distribution of small, compact video cameras inaugurated amateur sex movies. A new industry was created where nearly anyone could direct his or her own adult film. Adult entertainment is the driving force behind the explo— sive popularity of the Internet. As an example, iyixxxen.com, one of the largest adult oriented web pi sites, features over 1,000,000 free pictures. The adult1 oriented web sites have paved the way for all types of commercial ventures on the Net. To understand how they make money, one needs to survey adult entertainment, since all businesses follow one or more of .their models to generate income on the web. The vast majority of sites attempt to generate income in one of six ways: B anner ads—Vixxxen.com is one of the few free adult sites generating the heaviest traffic. This web address contains over 1 million stored pictures, and advertisers pay $10,000 to place a banner on the site. In this model, advertisers receive a large number of visitors and the consumer, in return, receives pictures free of charge. Pay p er month—Only one-hundredth of 1 % of viewers sign up for this type of service, which is understandable because of all the free adult picA student I I; l l l l i I S III M ill ! 1 I tures already on the Net, according to Rick Ferguson, Webmaster at Vixxxen.com. Advertising by female models—although not to prevalent, a few models and agencies have established sites in order to augment their business. Ferguson stated, "by increasing their visibility through a high hit rate they hope to capitalize on modeling contracts." Aligning with a n a dult verification service—if an adult wants access to such sites, they have to pay a .« mm « « « ililiii ^ " 8t! < 1 - yearly fee and receive an access code that allows entry at any web address that signed with the firm. The stated purpose is to protect the underage viewers from getting into the adult sites. Ferguson of Fixxxen.com mentioned, "the verification service shares a percentage of the fees with the sites that initially signs up the consumer." To date, this has only attracted a minority of the adult web sites. F ree sites contracting with pay sites on a p er click basis—a pay site will pay (7usually $.02-.03 per click) to a free site for consumers who arrive at their business through links or banners. A prodigious amount of traffic has to be generated before significant income can be made. Then too, the burden of effective advertising is on the host site rather than the advertiser, as the adult site has no control over the flow of income. Pay p er service—these are sites offering live (or simulated sex), chat lines, phone sex, video streaming, and CD's. These firms pay for banner ads on free sites, such as Vixxxen.com, keeping them in business. As a consumer, you are paying for the technology to have anonymous, safe sex in the p rivacy of y our h ome. F erguson of Fixxxen.com affirmed, "with charges ranging from $2 (chat lines) up to $240 per hour, this segment of the adult entertainment industry can offer extremely high profits to the owner. Behind computer products and travel, the adult entertainment industry is the third largest in total sales. It is first among all industries in terms of the number of visitors on a daily basis. In review, only a handful of sites are generating tremendous profits and receiving notice, such as Vixxxen.com. Those on the leading edge of technology are paving the way for other industries in the scramble for market share and high profits on the Internet. In the next installment, we will look at commerce and technology on the web. «£ii«!

Money: Is winter session a good deal? First o ff, you may be sacrificing a badly needed break X f rom classes. Secondly, you may be paying too much, particularly if y ou're on financial aid. Indeed, some advisers suggest skipping CSUSM's winter session, which starts Jan. 5. " It's not an economically sound decision to spend almost 50 percent of your financial aid for the year on winter and summer sessions," says Gerrie Hatten, assistant financial aid director at CSUSM. "It d oesn't leave students with enough money for the regular fall and spring semesters." Winter courses cost $105 per unit, $39 more than fall and spring semesters f or full-time CSUSM students. Even at that, though, it may be a good buy, according to Janet Jubran, assistant dean f or extended studies. "We made the decision to keep the cost at $105, even though other schools, including SDSU, are charging $115 per unit," she added. "We know it's a lot f or students to pay and we d idn't want to charge them a nymore." irmm&j^ m Financial aid for j ust the winter or summer session is not an option. "It is our decision to not o ffer loans specifically f or summer and winter s ession," H atten s ays. r "The reasons why we made §li this choice are we d on't have enough staff to handle the a dditional w orkload, and t here i sn't e nough t urn around time. "Winter and summer are s hort s essions. A lso, t he penalty and refund structure IlK IMP Hi H is set up in such a severe way there is no way we could keep up." During fall and spring semesters, a student has two weeks after classes begin to decide if they want to drop any course. If they do so within that span, their tuition money is refunded in full. Conversely, winter students have but 12 hours to decide if they want to remain in a course in order to get a full tuition refund. That puts a heavy burden on them, many students say. L et's say a student decides to drop a winter course after the first class. But, if i t's a class that lasts until after 5 p.m., 3 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., f or example, i t's impossible to get a full refund because the cashier's office is closed. By the next morning, when it reopens, the grace period has expired. Does this logic seem skewed? Senior Summer Tebbs, a liberal studies major, thinks so. "What if y ou're sick or your car breaks down and you c an't make it to the cashier's o ffice on Jan. 5 to get a r efund?" she asks. " It's not right that they only give you that one day and after that, you lose." A fter Jan. 5, students dropping a course can get only a 65 percent refund of the original tuition . .. and, then, only if they act before the end of Jan. 6. After that, there's no refund at all. Hatten says there are ways to beat the system. One is to attend a commuriity college such as Palomar or Mira Costa and take a comparable, lower-division course. Another is to set aside money for winter session when you get your fall financial aid disbursement. "Most students d on't fealize that there is no state subsidy f or winter and summer sessions," Hatten says. "We want to help students as much as possible, so we suggest that if students h ave eligibility left, that they apply for a student loan to cover the cost of winter session." "Even though there are no specific loans for winter session, they can pay the fees with their credit card and then be reimbursed by us when they get their loan disbursement in the spring." Jubran says the extended studies program was set up primarily to allow students to take one course. Faculty members generally discourage heavier winter loads, since t he session ljkonly t hree^ee&s long. When asked why tHe"winter'cost is so high, Jurban explained, "Taking one three-unit class during winter at $330 is a better deal than taking one class during a regular semester, when the cost for a three-unit class is $459. "It is,a better deal, however, to take t wo c lasses during the regular semester, because, for the same $459, you can take two classes, whereas during winter, it will cost you $630 to take 11111 IIH i * $ H two classes." Jurban added that the possibility of helping students cover the cost of winter session by allotting funds from the university is under consideration. For those students to whom winter session is imperative, there is another alternative. The TERI Company (1800-255-TERI) offers student loans at an interest rate of 8.5 percent. There is no payment required as long as a student is enrolled in six or more units or until six months after graduation. "You can borrow from $500 up to the cost of your education," said a customer representative at TERI. "To qualify, you have to be working full-time. If you aren't working full-time, you have to have a co-signer, regardless of your age or credit history." Winter session tuition must pay for everything from the use of the class room and the teacher's salary to the salaries of extended studies personnel. Both the federal and state governments consider the academic year to consist of only two semesters. In the future, however, thanks to on-line classes, year-round school will be a more attainable, and possibly less expensive reality, officials say. * s not an economic sound deeision to spend almost SO^percent of We® summer laBEBN J® ; I mmmmmmmi S A N D I E G O ; C A ^ o u s a n d s of lights representing the special memory of loved ones f or many Sam Diegans w iltiliuittiii^ a t u>pay e n d u r i n g San .

Yet the new bands generally refuse to admit that most of their creativity comes from somewhere else. That is why god street wine is such a refreshing change. It draws its inspiration from people and bands such as the AUman Brothers, Black Crowes, Bob Dylan and Mojo Nixon. And it freely admits it. The beauty of its music is that it takes little pieces from many that have gone before and combines them into something new and enjoyable. The music has a twangy, bluesy, comfortable feel to it that makes you want to grab a beer and kick back with some friends. The lyrics are poetically impressive with a cynical, slightly jaded overtone.

It is, or tries to, reflect the bitter truth of television's craving f or sensation in the '90s. But it actually turns out to be a some-" what vague remake of the 1951 Billy Wilder film, Ace in the Hole, the story of a journalist who keeps a man trapped in a collapsed cave while he, hypes the story until it's too late to save the victim. Mad City has heart and makes us feel both the media frenzy and our dislike for it, but lacks insight into the soul, the real cost for the betrayal and inhumanity of the exploitative media. Dustin Hoffman plays a TV network journalist (Max Brackett) who loses his j ob after going ballistic on camera and is transferred to a meaningless little affiliated station in Madeline, Calif. In an effort to revive his career and status, he maneuvers a hostage situation into a national news event. While doing a story on the town's natural history museum by interviewing its director (Blythe Dancer), a recently fired security guard (John Travolta) turns up with a gun and explosives to demand his j ob back after taking his former boss and several visiting schoolchildren hostage. He also inadvertently shoots a friend, a black security guard, thus setting the stage for the public to perceive him as a racist in addition to a kidnaper. Max, however, anticipates the forthcoming deluge of television cameras and reporters and begins to control and maneuver the situation for maximum emotional impact. He wins the guard's trust, restricts media access to him and builds a sympathetic image of him as an average American working man, a regular guy who couldn't take the shame of not being able to support his family. hall we dance?

Finally, place it before audiences and watch them marvel at another J cinema success. *, , ^ x. It's The Rainmaker.1 Francis Ford Coppola's screenplay, based on John Grisham's best-seller, has all the ingredients for box office success. Situated in Memphis, the story surrounds a naive, yet passionate, law school graduate, Rudy Baylor (Matt Damon), who finds himself swallowed into a sleazy pocket of the legal profession, the office of attorney J. Lyman Stone (Mickey Rourke). There, with the help of Stone's right hand man, Deck Shifflet (Danny DeVito), Baylor is acclimated to the finer talents of the legal profession: ambulance chasing. The primary plot, however, is one in which Baylor finds himself representing the family of a young man who is dying because an his health cafe. Not only does Baylor bond with the young man and his family (a family that abounds with unique character), but he crosses paths with a young battered wife, Kelly Liken, played by Claire Danes {Romeo <£ Juliet, U-Turn). Damon is poignantly perfect in his deliverance of an all-American, idealistic, young attorney. He radiates with a kindheartedness that is predominantly absent from his chosen profession. Jon Voight also gives a brilliant performance as the lead defense attorney for the insurance company, whose practice is to take premiums from the poor and then automatically deny all claims. Like David taking on Goliath, Baylor takes on the arrogant and self-righteous defense in a courtroom battle that is obviously unbalanced. DeVito as an ex-insurance employee, who has the chronic problem of failing the bar exam, balances the serious nature of the legal issues with his charm and candor. More often than not, the audience will find themselves chuckling at his likable character. W hile s imilar in p lot and s tyle to Grisham's The Client, The Firm and A Time To Kill, The Rainmaker also resembles another classic film, The Verdict What separates it from the rest, however, is the star-studded quality it possesses, some of its well-known actors' appearances are uncharacteristically small. For anyone who enjoyed the drama and justice in The Firm and The Verdict, The Rainmaker is a must-see.

Crossing the threshold of the India Princess in San Marcos is to be transformed to a different world. The fragrance of cumin, cinnamon, curry and coriander, along with the music and the art work, place you seemingly in the middle of India. The food is authentic Indian as well. From vegetable samosas as an appetizer to kulfi as a dessert, it's a unique .dining experience. The restaurant's vegetarian menu has more than 10 dishes, from malai kofta to gobhi makhani. Each is served with frasee INDIA p age 12 �INDIA continued from page 11 grant, cooked basmati rice. If you like a delicate yet delicious dish, palak paneer may be for you. Its fresh spinach and homemade cottage cheese are lightly seasoned with herbs and spices to create an unusual, but fabulous taste* But if you prefer a richer taste, the charbroiled eggplant dish, baingnan bharta, should serve you well. The cooked tomatoes and onions give it a creamy texture but stronger taste. But the aloo gobhi, a cauliflower and potatoes dish, is a bit too heavy to eat with rice. Although India Princess is a vegetarian's paradise, it can keep meat-eaters happy, too. It has a large variety of lamb, chicken and seafood dishes which are all served with fragrant basmati rice. Beer-drinkers may want to try Flying Horse, a light and tasty Indian beer that comes in a bottle big enough for two people. All the vegetarian dishes cost $8.95 except the lentil dish, 4 dal\ which is $6.95. The non-vegetarian dishes range from $6.95 to $12.95. Appetizers and desserts generally run $2.50. India Princess also offers an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet and an a-la-carte dinner every day. On Sundays, it features a champagne brunch. India Princess is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. for dinner. There is no need for reservations. It is located at 1020-100 W.

Born in Vietnam, Quynh moved to San Francisco and worked as a waitress where she met her future husband, native San Diegan John Pack. The couple married and moved to a small cabin off Wildcat Canyon Road. Chau had been" a full time senior finishing her degree at Cal State San Quynh Yen Chau Marcos and was interested in continuing her education in a graduate program. "Quynh was very friendly, very cheerful... she was always focused on her work, a conscientious student," said family member Henry Duong. "Each year the family has big Thanksgiving dinner [where she would] always talk about school; she was a very determined student." Chau's family in Vietnam own and operate a plastics company. Chau was interested in working with them to expand their business. Her older brother, Sinh Chau had discussed overseas business ventures, and Quynh had wanted to help him bring their business to the U.S. On the day of thefire,a neighbor awoke Quynh and her husband around 1 am to warn them to evacuate. Quynh started the car while John rescued their two large dogs. They managed to drive away but were somehow stopped on the dirt road, perhaps due to engine failure or lack of visibility. Fire officials found the couple inside their car, their arms wrapped around the bodies of their beloved dogs. Quynh Pack's ashes were returned to Vietnam by her older brother, Sinh Chau. She is survived by her four brothers and sisters and her mother, To Ha, all currently reside in Vietnam. — * 7 i i ' f t / I1 Ill" I ! Did Emma make it in this issue? Find out... Foom PAGE ?

THANKSGIVING reality that affects our community as the holidays approach is the impact of our country's war. Similar to previous generation afflicted with sustained American conflicts, our generation is also masked under the dark cloud of warfare. With San Diego being a community intertwined with the United States military and Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton so near to our campus, the constant conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan will make this Thanksgiving a difficult holiday for the families of those All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of the author, and do riot necessarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University San Marcos.

OMBUDSMAN'S N OTES By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman The Pride has decided to change the format a bit for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Therefore, the stories in this edition will focus exclusively on the Thanksgiving holiday and our community. The news stories we are working on will come in following issues. In terms of the school year, the Thanksgiving break often represents that last chance to take a breath before the final push to the end of the semester; often times that is just what is needed to get to the end of this race.

In a statement, BFO said, "Deeply embedded institutional racism has contributed to the creation of a hostile working environment" at CSUSM. The O ct. 21 "Teach-in" was created to bring the campus community together and address these allegations in the open. It was a day-long event featuring guest speakers, workshops and entertainment aimed at addressing the issue of racism.

Student shows slides of revolutionist army study By Paul Hilker Pride S taff Writer Loud bursts of gun-fire punctuated the dense tropical air, but the jungle humidity muffled the ensuing cries of Mexican peasants. *This was the scene near Aguas Blancas, a small town in the state of Guerrero, Mexico where 17 people were massacred on June 18, 1995. Christine Powell, a student of Mexican history from Cal State San Marcos, visited the site this summer to investigate and report on the turmoil of political and public relations in Guerrero. She traveled to a town near Acapulco to report on political processes and the up-rise of the EPR rebel army (the Popular Revolutionary Army). Backed by a human rights organization called Global Exchange, her group consisted of a few college students and two members of the Global Exchange program. Since her return, Powell has given eight presentations, including slides in classes at C SUSM. They r eveal social a gitation steadily increasing because of unstable relations between the lower classes and the Mexican government. The root of the conflict lies in the division between campesinos, or peasants, and the wealthy upper-class. The government perpetuates this agitation through neglecting the needs of much of Guerreros population by focusing exclusively on favoring the wealthy, according to Powell. In actuality, the entire Mexican political systems stability is threatened by the rise of EPR. Mexican politics are fashioned after the U.S. system of government. Though the country operates on democratic ideals, Mexican politicians show favor to their sources of financial support-wealthy land and corporation owners.

Statewide committees need students Program teaches special s tudents f unctional skills By Kathy Simpson Pride Staff Writer Have you e ver thought of the entire university as your classroom? F or one group of students, every aspect of c ampus life o ffers an chance t o learn. You've probably seen them. Waiting f or the elevator, eating lunch in the cafeteria, or in the restrooms. They are college-aged students enrolled in a special education class at Sierra Vista High School. They provide janitorial services on the CSUSM campus f our days a week—but, at the same time they use the c ampus as a classroom and learning envirorment. T he program, started by John Hull, gives these students the opportunity to learn, side by side with their non-disabled peers. They learn what Hull calls "critical skills." Each student has his o r her individual curriculum, based on their strengths and weaknesses. T he goal is to prepare them f or l ife a fter school. Part of this program includes developing vocational skills, since they enter the j ob market a fter they graduate. Currently, they provide custodial services to CSUSM, f or which they are paid. They work about nine hours a week. Another part of the program is teaching the students how to e njoy their money and leisure time. On their day o ff, they o ften take the bus to San Marcos to do some shopping, have lunch, or j ust hang out. They practice accessing the community. "This program i sn't f or all the students at Sierra Vista," said Hull. "Not all students would benefit f rom the prdg&fftt;" :c r i v sizlzztti: i Those chosen f or the class are the ones j udged most likely to benefit f rom this experience. T he instructors are specially trained to deal with these students. "We d on't teach this class in a classroom because a classroom i sn't the same as the way things are in the real world," says Hull. "The program focuses on skills that are functional. U seful stuff f or the real world. How to shop. How to use the bus. Getting around safely. Work skills. Appropriate behavior." Hull and his assistant, Kathy DeLar feel itfs important that the students be exposed to their non-disabled peers. "We learn more f rom our peers than anyone else. CSUSM students model the behavior of non-disabled young adults. T he types of behaviors we want our students to learn,i says DeLar. By being out in the community, the students can o bserve how p eople their o wn age act, interact, and behave.

TZe&ecca as hate actions hurt the victims, so they hurt the community at large. Such actions say to all of us that differences based on ethnicity, gender, disability, or sexual orientation are not acceptable, and that it may even be dangerous to b e d ifferent. Such behaviors drive us all to stick to our own kind, to be suspicious, to f eel unwelcome. What can I d o if I see or hear such expressions of hatred? Whether we are witnesses to hate actions or targets of them, the most important thing that each of us can and must do is report the incident to CSUSM Public Safety (750-3111). Even if the incident is small and you are unsure if it "counts" as a crime, report it. Let Public Safety decide whether it is a crime—they are trained to make these judgments. Moreover, the Public Safety o ffice is the one place where A LL information can b e centrally gathered, and therefore serves the campus by taking the pulse of the frequency and severity of such actions. What will happen to m e if I report it? T he Public Safety o fficer will simply interview you and try to get as much factual information as possible about the event. In most cases, nothing else will occur. In some cases, where an actual crime has happened, you may b e asked to testify at some later time. T he Public Safety o ffice will be extremely supportive towards anyone who f eels at risk in such a situation. What else can I do? In recent weeks, the campus f ocus has been on hate crimes and incidents that are based upon race. We are aware of other incidents that target lesbian, gay, and bisexual students. Please remember that expressions of hostility based on sexual orientation are similarly hateful. T here is a c ampus G ay/Lesbian/Bisexual Support Team comprised of students, faculty, and s taff. This group aims t o support G/L/B members of our campus c ommunity and to make the campus a s afe place f or all, a place f ree of hatred targeted towards sexual orientation. The G / L/B Support Team recommends that if anyone witnesses o r is the victim of hate incidents or crimes directed towards the G/L/B population, that they report it to the team in addition to reporting to Public Safety. T he team will compile information on hate activities based on sexual orientation, and will work with Public Safety towards providing safety f or all students. Let the team know of such hate activities by contacting P rofessor Don Barrett (Sociology, x 4161), Fritz Kreisler (CAPS, x4910), Linda Shaw (Sociology, x8026) or Henry Aronson (EOP, x4861). You may d o so by phone, note o r e-mail, and the team will accept anonymous reports. Fritz Kreisler is the Coordinator of Counseling & Psychological Services. ^tanc/uvuL 0f p UCf TZtiei&len, What ever happened to the good old days when teachers taught and students, well, d idn't? Those days when the teachers stood at the f ront of the room and talked while the students stared straight ahead and tried to stay awake. Everybody understood their roles and it is a premise upon During the October 21 Teach-in, Counseling & Psywhich this great country of ours was founded. So why is chological Services (CAPS) did a workshop on how to everybody trying to screw it u p? I 'm talking, of course, about peer groups. You know, cope with hate that i s directed at someone because of their those ridiculous little groups that we are forced to take race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. An important part in so that our teachers d on't have to d o any work issue that came up in our discussions was: what d o you d o themselves. W e're thrown together with f our or f ive other when you witness a hate crime or are the victim of o ne? students (we d on't even get to choose who they are) and Everyone agreed that such acts are deplorable, but how should we react to t hem? then told to critique each o ther's work. Some students f elt that the perpetrator should be conNow, on t he s urface, this all may sound innocent fronted on the spot, that the targeted person or group should enough. A fter all, it's probably true that all of us can learn something f rom every person we encounter. But, when it be defended and fought f or immediately. Others underc omes to my education, I 'd j ust feel better if an experi- standably felt frightened at this prospect. They d idn't want enced p rofessor, trained in the subject matter, taught m e to put their own safety in jeopardy, yet they also d idn't what I needed to learn. T hat's why they get the big bucks, want to sit idly by and let it happen. While the f ocus of our workshop was on coping with hate that is directed at and t hat's why I pay them. I 've been in groups with people who d idn't bother to racial groups, the same rules apply to hate crimes and inwrite a p aper, but asked the rest of the group to cover f or cidents directed towards lesbians, gay, and bisexuals, or them if t he t eacher w alked by.

For the victims, there are not only threats to right t o show them my work as I see f it. Brainstorming with a g roup of p eople whose work I admire is one of my personal safety or property, but also clear messages that favorite things to d o and o ften brings to the surface some their lives and comfort are consistently endangered.

I mean, come on, it is the 90's. When campus members began coming forward with testimony of their own perseverances of racial hate, it was very easy to question the validity of what seemed such outlandish claims; especially at a university taking such pride in its mission of promoting ethnic diversity. Mission or no, there is a problem on campus. Graffiti on bathroom walls can be called isolated incidents, attributed to single, unassociated delinquents. Perhaps other attention depraved, maturity lacking persons could have added a swastika here or there, just to see if their malformed "art" would land a spot in the local papers the following morning. Some may be able to rationalize a student's vocal lashing of a professor in racial terms. I have heard people portray what might almost be called sympathy for the student in question, deeming that the professor's teaching was somehow provocative. But how can one explain threatening phone calls made to a student? I met with a student last month who confessed to being threatened over the phone. He also knew of at least two other students who had been threatened for their views on Affirmative Action programs. I do not question the presence of racism on this campus any longer. You can question the presence of institutionalized racism in the administrative ranks. It is, even those who believe it exists at Cal State San Marcos agree, hard to pinpoint. Are blatant acts so easy to grasp that they cannot be taken seriously? Perhaps many of us have seen too much graffiti to take seriously personal threats taking a similar form on bathroom walls. This situation is not limited to ju veniles spray painting swastikas on stall doors. Students and faculty are being threatened. The views of those being threatened are really unimportant. This university is designed to be a place where varying opinions can come together to create a better environment for all to learn and prosper. The emergence of racism needs to be taken seriously by every person on campus, whether we are dealing with three or 30 racist individuals.

Please recycle this newspaper To the Editor: * - Tam writing in response to the article written; about me in the November 13th edition of the Pride. When interviewing for this article I was very excited about sharing some of the incredible learning experiences involved in studying abroad through a recognized international program. After reading the article, I was disappointed by the slant that Ms. Gonzales puts on my experience abroad. This casts a poor image upon the program, generally, and me, specifically. I would like to highlight just a few of the important experiences that I emphasized in my interview, but were short changed in print. First, what were described as "side trips," were actually field studies for which I had extensively prepared. The Russia and Estonian trip was an extension of two classes: Russian Politics and Society and Nationalism and Minorities in Europe. In Russia we visited the University in Moscow and met with students where we partook in a round table discussion of stereotypes that each nationality had grown up with about each other. In Moscow we also visited the editor of an arts magazine and learned about the enforced propaganda and censoring of the past and present. Visiting Estonia, one of thefirstcountries that broke away from the Soviet Union, was amazing. This was especially interesting to me because of the research that I had been doing right before on the relations between Estonians and the Russian minority. Just being in Estonia and taking part in the programs involved in our trip really brought my research to life. The trip we took to northern Germany focused on the Danish minority that was established officially at the end of W.W.II. Included in the northern Germany trip was a visit to the NATO base in Jutland(the main part of Denmark). The day that we were there some Danish soldiers that had died while participating in NATO maneuvers were brought home, making it a day that I will always remember. Studying abroad is a complete experience, it is full of good and bad times, new friends and unfamiliar surroundings. After having studied 'abroad through many programs I have come to appreciate the year abroad program offered through the Cal State system. Cal State wants you to go f or a whole year because the principle is that you will get much more out of a year experience than just a semester. I can vouch for this concept. By the time November came around and it was pitch dark at 3 pm, I wasn't so excited about making it through the whole winter. But the experience was invaluable. I didn't give up and go home or hate Denmark. By staying the whole year I finally understood what the fever was about spring, I could understand what the check-out clerk at the grocery store had been yelling at me all year(it wasn't that she didn't like me, there was a pasta special on isle four)and most importantly through the Danish friendships that I developed I realized It would be wrong to go home with any negative stereotypes. Studying abroad is definitely more than fun and games. My experience last year gave me a new outlook on life academically, politically and personally. Learning to live in a new culture is exciting, challenging and rewarding. That is why the article written by Ms. Gonzales disappointed me. The experiences that I shared with her in my interview were taken too lightly and my year looks empty of all the hard work that went along with those good times. I d on't want students to read the article and think that studying abroad is an excuse to party and travel for a year and then get over there and be shocked with the realities. Cal State Offers year long programs in sixteen countries around the globe, from Australia to Zimbabwe. Majors are endless and in many countries like Denmark a language prerequisite is not required. I support these programs fully and encourage all students to study abroad.

P erhaps your readers would like to hear the other side of the story. Jill Ballard had gained a reputation in the c susm.flame war newsgroup, of being arrogant, rude, and intolerant of anybody w ho's views d iffered even slightly f rom h er's. B ased u pon my o bservations and dealings with M s. Ballard, i t's a well d eserved reputation. In her letter, she makes comments about being accused of "racism, d iscrimination, a nd d ictatorship". L et's look at these charges, shall we ? T he posting that led to her access being restricted was one that she posted in her role as president of the "Vegan & Animal Rights c lub", calling f or a boycott of the GSUSM Pow Wow, d ue to the f act that, in her words, " Some of the people there wear f ur in their hair". W hen it was pointed out that the Native American garb in question was based upon traditional designs and customs, her c omment w as that " no culture is primitive enough to deserve wearing f ur." W hile this might not b e racism per se, it certainly does show a incredible amount of arrogance regarding her views & ideas, and a incredible amount of intolerance and disrespect of the culture, history, and traditions oTahbther group.

But in reality, I could care less about what people want to identify themselves with—such trivial concerns have nothing to d o with the issues the V &AR Club stands for. I merely e xpressed an opinion on c susm.flamewar, excuse m e Rauch, it was not an invitation f or you (a LTWR graduate student) to misinterpret and grossly misquote my words. Did anyone notice how Rauch foiled to cite his sources of my supposedly discriminatory claims? So then Rauch claimed that I claimed that if I "were forced to allow such people to j oin," I "would not include them in club mailers, meetings, or activities." Lie number three! BALD faced lie. I NEVER EVER made such a claim nor have I ever, or even had the desire to d iscriminate a nyone w ho w anted t hem f rom receiving the club's announcements. There are 30 people on the club's e mailing list, all of whom have different diets and beliefs. Even one of them is an a dvocate of vivisection, but d o I m ind? Why should I? A s long as nobody tries to hinder the club f rom carrying out its f unctions then all people are welcome. A fter all these lies Rauch, a self admitted practicing speciesist, had the nerve to conclude his ietter by equating my "behavior" (according to his lies and value j udgments) to something he hoped students understood on "Oct. 21st." Please see False, Pg. 8 Carriovore agrees animal are different M s. Ballard, While sitting in the D ome, I read your letter t o the editor, R emember a nimals (The Pride, 10/30)." Dinning on a most delightful cheeseburger, I pondered your points with grease and ketchup-smeared fingers. " Animals a re d ifferentia1 d ifferent species," you claimed. I agree animal species are d ifferent. Cow meat does taste much d ifferent f rom chicken, and is certainly d ifferent in taste f rom deer. I have, h owever, f ound that liberal a mounts of ketchup will usually solve most of these taste-related d ifferences (see above). As to your statement, "Violence is violence no matter how you slice, dice, chop, o r cut i t," I must object. Watching my f ather artfully cutting slices of turkey b efore the a dmiring e yes of my f amily d uring Thanksgiving dinner is enough to bring m e t o tears. How could p lacing a p iece of breast meat, o r perhaps a bit of dark m eat, on the plate of a wide-eyed child b e c on- strued as violence? And how could the resulting t urkey l eftovers—turkey s andwiches, turkey noodle s oup, and turkey jerkey—all made by my m other's loving hands, be deemed the outcomes of violence? Even though I disagreed with your letter on one or two points, I hope you know that I 'll miss your thought-provoking letters and flyers-—seemingly posted everywhere here at CSUSM—when you graduate in December, and I pray that you w on't try to put Heinz out of business a lso—I need the ketchup. Herman Jones Junior Liberal Studies Is The Pride's staff chocked by success of a woman? Dear Editor, While reading the November 13th issue of T he Pride, I f ound the title of the article "Woman film maker t o speak" by Paul Hilker to be particularly interesting. Is it such a surprise to have a woman m aking f ilms that the fact was required in the title of the article? Or d o w e j ust assume that all film makers are men unless specifically identifies otherwise? I noticed she was African-American as well, so m aybe you should Have pointed out that an " African-American Woman film m aker" w as giving a speech. A f ew pages later, an article discussed how "Jordan's new film educates, entertains" did not require gender identification in t he title. N or was Jordan's ethnic background mentioned in the article. Likewise, t he article a nnouncing R udolfo A naya's reading lacked specific mention of his gender or ethnicity, despite the f act that writes o n t he "cultural heritage of New Mexico." Personally, I f ound myself m ore interested in which specific cultural heritage h e was writing about, and I consider such information to be f ar m ore relevant than the information imparted about Julie Dash's film m aking. I find D ash's s uccess f ar m ore worthy of announcement than her gender o r ethnicity. I hope in the f uture the staff of T he Pride will c ease to be so shocked by the success of a woman that they feel the need t o point out such things in the title of articles. Christine M . W.

It isn't the stuff of legend, but it was popular, and sold a lot of albums. O n h is n ew a lbum, " Mr. H appy G o L ucky," Mellencamp creates a more layered album than any of his previous efforts, while still maintaining the small town mentality that d efines him. Mellencamp pooled his talents with New York dance club mixer Junior Vasquez, who co-produced the album, giving it a strange mix between rock and roll and disco. I t's a subtle mix, as the synthetic beat d oesn't intrude with the conventional drumming or the jangly guitars. T he album is very deceptive f rom the beginning. T he title "Mr. Happy G o L ucky" seems to suggest a little cynicism and irony, as this is Mellencamp's first album since his fairly recent heart attack. At first glance, the title seems to express the j oy of surviving a serious health problem, but there is something much deeper. T he album's ten songs are also peppy and happygo-lucky on t he s urface. They b ear t he M idwestern storytelling and simplicity of life that most Mellencamp songs possess, but in a more edgy fashion. One of the most deceptive songs on the album i s "Full Catastrophe." While its chorus, " I'm glad to say I 've e njoyed everyday of the f ull catastrophe of l ife," may sound triumphant, it also doubles as a reflection on Mellencamp's brush with death. He keeps his music f rom becoming weepy or tragic, disregarding the meaning of a lyric f or the sake of rock and roll. Also suggestive of death is the a lbum's cover, which features Mellencamp and two young children sitting in f ront of what appear to be Jesus Christ and the Devil. Aside f rom being very a interesting photograph, it,too, has a double meaning. Mellencamp may reflect on his scars, but he does not dwell on them. His mid-life diary, no matter how you dissect it* still sounds like good rock and roll. His music continues to i mprove on each album. "Mr. Happy G o L ucky" is not without its flaws, but the f laws go thoroughly unnoticed.

'First Contact' is most accessable Trek Earn MP, experience By Gabe Lundeen Pride S taff Writer As any "Star Trek" fan can attest to, not every "Star Trek" movie has heid cinematic merit, or even been semi-entertaining. It almost seems that i t's done on purpose; the best "Trek" movies have all been the even-numbered ones. "Star Trek: First Contact," the eighth movie in the "Star Trek" series, continues this tradition. It is the first movie to f eature the cast of "Star Trek: T he Next Generation" alone, and it upholds the high standards of the award-winning television series. T he movie features the B org, one of " Star T rekis" most popular (and one-dimensional) villains. T he Borg are a race b ent on d estruction and assimilation of other cultures, with the motto, "Resistance is f utile." In "First Contact," the Borg travel to the past to destroy Earth and assimilate it, and the crew of the USS Enterprise must stop them and save humanity. "First C ontact" is extraordinarily violent f or a "Star Trek" movie. T his is some- what of an exception f or the "Next G eneration" cast who normally rely on diplomacy and peace to resolve their problems, and only use firepower as a last resort. Although the plot calls f or violence, it is not graiuiious, and is d one in an exciting f ashion. The trend of violence also is evident in the n ew s hip, t he U SS E nterprise-E. While the Enterprise-D (the ship used in the television show and destroyed at the end of "Star Trek: Generations") was larger, swan-like and representative of peace, the n ew m odel i s s mall, a erodynamic and streamlined f or war. T he new ship looks and acts m ore like a weapon and less like an envoy, c ontradicting the central idea behind "Star Trek: T he Next Generation." B ut o ther t han t he v iolence i ssue, " First C ontact" i s a g reat " Star T rek" movie. People often d o not give "Star Trek" its due, because of its large f an base and its science fiction slant. It really d oesn't get the respect it deserves. The cast is, o nce again, intact f rom the s eries a nd f ull o f f ine a ctors. P atrick S tewart, w ho p lays C aptain J ean-Luc P icard* i s a c lassically-trained Shakespearean actor, and provides another stellar performance that holds the movie together. Brent Spiner, as Data, is an e xcellent character actor, and really gets to display this talent throughput the movie. Making appearances in f ront of and behind the camera is Jonathan Frakes, who plays First Commander William Riker and also directs "First Contact." Frakes directed a number of episodes f rom the series, and c ontinues Leonard N imoy's tradition of starring in and directing "Star T rek" movies quite well. Of course, if y ou're a Trekkie, you are bound to e njoy the movie more. Fans will appreciate the restored elements f rom the show, such as the deadpan humor of Worf or Captain P icard's affectation f or hardboiled detective stories. But being a f an is not necessarily a prerequisite. Any action movie aficionado will enjoy "First Contact," because on the surface, i t's a good action movie. But "Star T rek" fans will enjoy it even more, as the demand f or a "Next Generation" movie has been high. "Star Trek: First C ontact" might b e the most accessible "Star T rek" movie yet, and it is certainly o ne of the best. Workingfor The Pride!

Cancelling winter session is a step toward the implementa­ tion of YRO, which utilizes reg­ ular state funding to reduce stu­ dent costs, which are less expen­ sive than the Extended Studies Program. “More students will benefit by the new summer semester than will be hurt by the loss of winter session,” said Pat Worden, Students Celebrate Japanese Culture By JENNIFER HOLMES Pride Staff Writer Students commemorated the first day of the second annual Japanese Culture Week (Tuesday, Nov. 13 through Thursday, Nov. 15) by adorning Founders’ Plaza with traditional Japanese paper lanterns. The Japanese Club, students and professors in the Japanese Program, Anime Project Alliance, the Victorious Club, and the American Language and Culture Institute organized and presented cultur­ al activities and displays during the three-day celebration. They organized the event to share var­ ious aspects of Japanese culture with those on campus. “Our goal is to expose people to Japanese culture, to something they wouldn’t typically get being here (in the U.S.),” said Marc Townsend, founder and presi­ dent of the Japanese Club. “In Japan, Nov. 3 is culture day, and everyone celebrates with exhibitions, performances, and food,” said Mikiko Imamura Seyller, professor of world lan­ guages and Hispanic literature, and an adviser in the Japanese program. Although this event did not take place on Nov. 3, like the one in Japan, Seyller said the motivation behind these^events is the same —to promote cultural awareness. On Tuesday, the Japanese Club held a food sale in Found­ ers’ Plaza featuring traditional Japanese favorites including yakisoba (noodles), goyza (Japa­ nese dumplings), and okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pancakes). There was also a Japanese mar­ ketplace in Commons 206, which offered students an interactive video game demonstration set up by Anime Project Alliance. Handcrafted origami arts were available for purchase, as well as video games, laser discs, comic books, and Pocky, which are chocolate-covered biscuit sticks, a popular snack in Japan.

Edwards, an African-Amer­ ican female, filed the lawsuit at Vista’s Superior Court on Nov. 13, 2000. Her charges included race, color and/or national origin discrimination; gender harass­ ment and discrimination; retali­ ation; invasion of privacy; negli­ gent and/or intentional infliction of emotional distress; defama­ tion, and violation of the Califor­ nia Family Rights Act, according to court files. In her settlement agreement dated Jan. 26 and released by the university at the request of the North County Times on Nov. 8, Edwards agreed to drop any actions against the university per­ sonnel she had named as defen­ dants in the complaint. She also agreed to state in her records that she voluntarily resigned from her job at the university Jan. 31, 2000. According to court files, however, Edwards states that she received a letter from the director of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity Office in January 2000 informing her that she would be discharged from employment. Edwards and her attorney, and the defendants from Fiscal Operations, Human Resources, and the Equal Opportunity offices were unable to comment before press time. “We can only comment that the matter has been amicably resolved,” said Rick Moore, a university spokesperson. “It was negotiated with the plaintiff and her attorneys. The payment of $210,000 settles a claim for worker’s compensation, based on stress. The payment of $5,000 settles a separate, civil claim for emotional distress. The settle­ ment is not an admission of any wrongdoing.” A law signed by California Gov. Gray Davis on Oct. 5 requires all sex offenders enrolling or working on col­ lege campuses to register with the campus police, beginning next year. The assembly bill states that any person convicted of a sex crime, including students, faculty, and all others working on campus, must notify campus police of their address within five working days. The same applies if the person is disenrolling from the campus, chang­ ing employment, or changing his/her address. If an individual violates the law, he/she will receive a mis­ demeanor, depending on the number of violations the per­ son has or commits. In the past, campus police had no way of knowing if sex offenders were on campus, because they were allowed to live in one area and attend school in another. Now campus police will know who is on their campus. “The database is a valuable tool,” said Tom Shultheis, CSUSM’s chief of police. He added, “it certainly doesn’t mean that every single person who is registered is automatically a suspect.” Federal law forces colleges to let students know who is a sex offender on their campus. Supports of the law said they believe it will be easier for campus police to investigate sex crimes committed on cam­ pus. On the other hand, those who are opposed to the new law say that the right to pri­ vacy is being taken from sex offenders *North County Times contributed to this article. �Student Government Starts Readership Program Free N ew York Times Newspapers Available Next Semester By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Students may have a few more opportunities to read the hews next semester. The Associated Students Inc. exec­ utive committee approved the New York Times readership pro­ gram Friday, Nov. 16. The program, which brings free newspapers to students on campus, will last for four weeks, on a trial basis. “The decision to try the program was easy,” said ASI President Dean Manship. After the trial is up, ASI will assess whether they should begin the paid program, based on how many students pick up the papers. According to Manship, the board had to look at how useful the program is for students and how the program will affect the readership of The Pride student newspaper. “It is really not about the cost. As long as it useful to students then we can deal with the cost,” said Manship, Kathleen O’Connell, a New York Times representative, pre­ sented the readership program to the board on Friday, Oct. 26. Jocelyn Brown, the California State Student Association (CSSA) representative for Cal State San said she asked O’Connell to present the program to the ASI Board of Directors after Brown heard her speak at the CSSA meeting at San Diego State University. “I thought the program was good because it increases news­ CSU and UC Systems to Provide Joint Doctoral Programs in Education By JUSTIN ANDREWS Pride Staff Writer CSU students will soon have easier and more affordable access to doctoral degrees in education. CSU Chancellor Charles Reed and UC President Richard Atkin­ son reached a tentative agree­ ment, in which each system, Uni­ versity of California and Cali­ fornia State* University, will put up $2 million to organize pro­ grams among various campuses. Colleen Bentley-Adler, a spokes­ person for the CSU chancellor’s office, said that the joint pro­ gram may be offered as soon as August. The joint program aims to provide many future teachers with a thorough, in-depth edu­ cation designed to raise the over­ all quality of education for both students and teachers. “I wouldn’t say right now whether that can be done by August, but I wouldn’t rule it out,” said CSUSM’s Dean of Education, Steve Lilly. “This is really important for us, and important to public school peo­ ple around here in general, to have better access to this doc­ toral of education program,” he said. Seventeen percent of Cal State San Marcos students are here for degrees in education. Sixty percent of California’s teachers graduated from the CSU system, all with little or no access to a doctoral degree in education. “We invest a high­ er percentage of our resources in education training than any other Cal State University,” Lilly . said, noting that UC Riverside is a nearby school that offers educational doctorates. In I960, the California Master Plan for Education assigned the UC system to be the sole provider for a doctoral degree in an education pro­ gram. Bentley-Adler said, how­ ever, that the UC system is not meeting the demands of future teachers. Eighty percent of these degrees are obtained at expensive private schools, which deprives the majority of California’s teachers of a higher level of education. . Some may wondef whether future educators f^m flie CSU system are ready for a doctoral program. A study conducted by the CSU system shows that more than 25 percent of students grad­ uating with teaching degrees feel unprepared to teach English and math, while 60 percent said they were not prepared to teach science,, history, or social sci­ ence. Buddhism Discussion P art o f Event »A rticle cont. from pg 1 student Miwa King. Wednesday’s activities also included a lecture and demon­ stration on Hayashi, Japanese kabuki percussion, by Katada Kikusa in University Hall 237. The demonstration featured Hayashi’s main instruments as well as the koto, the oldest tra­ ditional Japanese string instru­ ment, which dates back 1,300 years. Ken Saragosa, a leader of the Buddhist organization, Soka Gakkai International-USA, spoke about Buddhism’s prin­ ciple belief in humanity and the empowerment of people. “A great revolution of character in just a single man will help achieve a change in the destiny of a nation and, further, will cause a change in the destiny of all mankind.” About 45 people attended the lecture.

The California Faculty Association (CFA) organized the Nov. 14 teach-in to present the Board of Trustees with a unified front of support. The morning of the teach-in began with vocal protests, and the crowd organized a picket line outside the CSU trustees meeting, held at the chancellor’s office. The rally began with an introduction and welcome from Gonzalo Santos, CFA president and a professor from CSU Bakersfield. Speakers included Assemblywoman Judy Chu, State Assemblyman Alan Lowenthal, and Miguel Contreras of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. State Sen. Gloria Romero also attended the event. The speakers addressed issues including the corporatization of higher educa­ tion, the decrease in money the universities spend per student, and the lack of sufficient new tenure-track faculty positions. Student Sadot Chavez, of CSU Dominguez Hills, spoke out in support of CSU professors, and the “Meta” acting group from Cal State Los Angeles performed a satirical theatre presentation called “Mac State University.” Finally, Susan Meisenhelder, another leader for the CFA, came outside from the chancellor’s office to tell the crowd that the petitions from every Cal State campus had successfully been delivered to the trustees, despite alleged skirmishes between the police and the protestors when the petitions were delivered. Trustees, however, came out to retrieve the petitions. Those who attended the teach-in enjoyed a catered lunch and live musical entertainment. Founder of University s Research Center Resigns By VICTORIA B. SEGALL Pride Editor After founding the universi­ ty’s ^National Latino Research Center (NLRC) in 1997 and serv­ ing as its director, Dr. Fernando Soriano has resigned as NLRC director. “I’m both happy and sad about the departure —happy for the center and myself, but also sad to be apart from it,” said Soriano, who officially resigned from the position Nov. 1. The NLRC, Soriano explained, provides and pro­ motes informational research and databases that focus on the Latino population. “But with the recent growth and the number of staff at the center, it becomes difficult to be an effective direc­ tor and to do what I do,” said Soriano. Dr. Pat Worden, the uni­ versity’s associate vice presi­ dent of Academic Affairs for Research, and the dean of gradu­ ate studies, will serve temporar­ ily as director. “The center was Fernando Soriano last year at Open House. (Pride Photo/Victoria Segall) meant to be my contribution,” said Soriano. “At some point, I had planned to release it to the university to let them help it grow.” Before he resigned, however, Soriano asked university presi­ dent Alexander Gonzalez to seek advice for future NLRC projects from consultants and experts of Latino research. “I’m really excited about the university tak­ ing a greater role with the NLRC,” said Soriano. “It will require them to take a greater amount of responsibility with the center.” Soriano will continue in his position as the director of the human development pro­ gram at Cal State San Marcos, and he will continue to teach as an associate professor at the university. This past year, he was appointed a member of the U.S. Census Bureau, and he also serves on the Race and Ethnic Affiliation Committee. Soriano also plans to focus more on his research on youth violence. “With all of the concern we’ve had over the year or so with school violence, it becomes more important for me to work on these issues,” he said. Before he joined Cal State San Marcos, Soriano taught at the University of Missouri. He received his bachelor’s degree in psychology from the UC Riverside, and his psychology master’s and doctorate from the University of Colorado, Boulder. �Peter Jennings and Local Media Interviewed by Public By VICTORIA B. SEGALL Pride Editor Roles were reversed when the San Diego public interviewed local media about news coverage, particularly of September 11, on Nov. 17 at “Ask the Media,” a live televised panel discussion with Peter Jennings, news anchor and senior editor for ABC’s “World News Tonight.” “We’re trying to get some appreciation of what’s on your mind, and honest answers from the panelists on what we report and how we do it,” Jennings told the audience of 800 that gathered at the University of San Diego’s Shiley Theater. “This will not only be a national, but a truly international experience. We’ll try to understand our role in this current phase of American natural life.” The subjects of questions posed ranged from media cover­ age of the war and hate crimes to the presence of minorities in news anchor positions. Featured panelists included news anchor Hal Clement from KGTV-10 News, editor Kent Davy from the North County Times, radio host Roger Hedgecock from KOGO Radio, news anchor Kimberly Hunt from KGTV-10, news director Lourdes Sandoval from KBNT Univision, and staff writer Kelly Thornton from the San Diego UnionTribune. One of the first ques­ tion^ from the audience (which included college students, teach­ ers, retired military personnel, and members from the Muslim and Sikh community) was, “How does the media determine what they tell, like military opera­ tions?” Hal Clement said that some news stations are selective of the news they present. “For example, we wouldn’t tell about a mission beforehand,” he said. “We would be devastated to find out that anything we would report on would cause the death of any serviceperson.” “We do know how to wait,” said Kimberly. Hunt^ who revealed that KGTV and other news stations knew about the plans for the U.S. attack on Afghanistan 24 hours prior to their reporting of it. Jennings added, “They [the media] do have access to people in the defense department will­ ing to leak information.” Some of the panelists dis­ agreed with one another when they discussed the decision of sending reporters into war zones. “I don’t believe that report­ ers should be in the war zones,” said Roger Hedgecock. “It would be like inserting an ally of the Taliban.” “It’s the right of the people,” disagreed Lourdes Sandoval. “Otherwise, why are we journal­ ists?” Audience members ques­ tioned whether or not the media was covering news or creating news, especially since the war in Afghanistan and the anthrax scares. “This isn’t abofit sowing fear, it’s about keeping you informed,” said Clement. “We don’t want to alarm you, we want to inform you.” Kent Davy referred to the North County Times1 coverage on the safety of the San Onofre nuclear power plant since the Sept. 11 attacks. “We believe the press is playing a useful role to keep you well-informed,” said Davy. “I feel it’s better to have more information than less.” As the evening went on, the audience discussed more Sept. 11-related issues, notably the dis­ cussion of local hate crimes. One individual, who identified him­ self as a member of the San Diego Chapter of the Muslim American Society, said, “We have found ourselves victimized by hate mongers and people putting out messages that are anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim, especially by people like Roger Hedgecock ... what is your moti- that hijackers who were on the. planes who ran into the World Trade Center, lived in Clairemont, worshipped at the mosques, and were taken in by local Muslims at their homes. I think it would be unnatural to say we shouldn’t have a conver­ sation about how many are loyal to the U.S. and how many are here to murder Americans.” His statement also brought applause are no rules,” it is dependent on the news and radio station’s individual decisions. A student from Mount Carmel High School, who said she hoped to become a broadcast journalist someday, asked how the panelists stay calm and ratio­ nal when they report the news.” “We have a job to do,” said Hunt. “We focus on what we need to do when we strap in that chair and focus on the news information.” Hedgecock said that talking about it helped everyone when they discussed the terrorist attacks. “The focus helps,’’ said Jennings. “I was so focused on what was happening, that two weeks after (Sept. 11) I felt ter­ rible.” An audience member, who identified himself as a member of the Sikh community, comment­ Hundreds of San Diegans gatheredfor the “ the Media ” event with Peter ed that there was minimal local Ask media coverage on the attacks Jennings, nexys anchorfor ABC s “World News Tonight. ” on Sikhs.

Everyone has their favorite holiday foods whether they are traditional, like turkey and cran­ berry sauce, or not so traditional, like chicken enchilada pie or tofu turkey. But does anyone have a favorite holiday drink? Eggnog is the typical, tradi­ tional drink of choice, but there are other festive drinks for the winter holiday season. Here are some tradi­ tional holiday drinks, Eggnog and Wassail, and one with a Californian spin: Sunny Holiday Punch. Also, there are three drinks the Snowball, Peppermint Stick, and Angel Face -- that will put you in the holiday spirit even after your mom bums the turkey.

Although it doesn’t have a “holi­ day” theme, there is one deli­ cious treat that works well for any occasion: “Better than Sex Cake.” Yes, you read that cor­ rectly. To prevent shocking and embarrassing your relatives and friends at those holiday gather­ ings, you may want to change the name, or refuse to tell them. Ingredients: 1 box of devil’s food cake mix 1 can of sweetened condensed milk 1 jar of Mrs. Richardson’s cara­ mel topping (or any brand you choose) 2 Skor bars (gee, what an appro­ priate addition) - Heath bars work just as well. Preparation: Make the devil’s food cake by following the directions on the box (most likely it will call for eggs and vegetable oil, so you may want to add these items to the grocery list if you don’t already have them). Let the cake cool for about 20 minutes, and poke holes in it with the end of a wooden spoon. Next, pour the sweetened condensed milk into the holes you’ve made. Use as much of the milk as you want, depend­ ing on how sweet you want it. Then, pour in the caramel top­ ping. Cover and refrigerate the cake for about one hour. Top the cake with crushed Skor or Heath bars, and serve. Since this cake is extremely rich, I would advise getting a tall glass of cold milk to wash it down. Note: Whether or not the name of this delightful treat is deserving of its name is up to you to find out. Cheers.

(Courtesy Photos/HarryPotter. com) By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor The strangest thing about “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” is its length. The film is 2 Vi hours long, but its target audience has a half-hour atten­ tion span. Perhaps I am wrong. Maybe the target audience was never children, but rather their parents. At the theater, some preteens and younger were inter­ spersed with a much larger crowd of adults —many adults without a kid in sight. Although this is great for the industry — selling to a wide variety of customers — children under eight or nine won’t be able to appreciate the film, if not for the length, then for the dark scenes and night­ marish creatures. But for fami­ lies with pre-teens and up, Potter is worth seeing at least once, but maybe not twice. The hero of this story, Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe), is an 11-year-old boy, and the storyline is meant for children (whether or not they should bother is up to you). Radcliffe is new to the film business —his first screen role was playing the young David Copperfield in a made-for-TV movie. But Radcliffe already has star power. When he is onscreen, you can’t take your eyes off of him. Yet, why wouldn’t he become a star? Chris Colombus, a director who is an expert in telling a good family story, directed Radcliffe. Colombus’ previous credits include “Home Alone,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Nine Months,” “Stepmom,” and his directorial debut, “Adventures in Babysitting.” Colombus has a way of finding the cutest aspect of kids and selling the audience on their appeal -- even when the story line is mediocre. Potter also has some out­ standing special effects, but also some mediocre ones. During the Quidditch game (a Warlock sport), athletes are supposed to fly on their brooms, but the imag­ es are cartoonish at best, fake at worst. The images do manage to look similar to the drawing on the cover of the novel, which may be a good thing if it were not so irritating to the eye. The good effects include Hagrid as a giant (the scenes where he looks gigantic do not look fake in any way), and the paintings in Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In one scene, Potter rests at the nurse’s station while a walllength painting hangs above his head. Although nothing moves near Potter, in the painting a nurse walks to a patient’s bed­ side and blows out a candle. Yes, it is hauntingly similar to the Disneyland Haunted House ride, but it is such a neat effect that it doesn’t matter how small a world it is. For those who have read the Harry Potter series, you know that the story takes you on a mag­ ical adventure. The film parallels the novel, but somehow loses that mysterious charm in some scenes. For example, the alley­ way where Hagrid takes Potter to buy his warlock school materi­ als looks very unique, but is Soficitamos tra6ajos originates para nuestro ntmiem a pubGcarse en (a primavera def2002. <Emrienpoemas, cnentos, ensayos, critka, via correo etectronkoa t <D Caribs von Son, r. cvonson@csusm. edu oath (Prof. <3esosa, m6esosa@cstism.edu. not what my imagination had conjured up while reading the book. When the images onscreen broke away from what I had imagined, the film lost its magic. But I suppose if you haven’t read the book, then this film is just a family treat and nothing more. But for those of us who expected just a bit more, there are some disappointments. Yet, when Radcliffe smiles (for he does have the most charm­ ing smile) you again believe in the magic. Any 11-year-old girl that sees this film will absolutely fall in love with Radcliffe, for he is adorable. And, for adults, Radcliffe’s childlike fascination with the world around Mm draws reminded me of the bratty Veruca Salt from “Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory” that made me grit my teeth throughout the film. Yes, part of her annoyance was just her character, but the tooth-grinding loudness also car­ ries over to real life. What is refreshing about the film is the adventure, action and mystery, but there’s no love story* Even in “Toy Story” (another popular children’s film) there is a love story between toys. Hollywood has pushed love sto­ ries into every action/adventure film to attempt to pull in all possible audiences, but no love story exists in “Harry Potter.” you into the story. There are annoying things about the film, such as the Quidditch game effects, and especially the lead girl, Hermione Granger, played by Emma Watson. Her character is sup­ posed to be a Ms. Know-it-all, but that is not the annoying thing about her. Instead, it was her loud-mouthed acting,which Just good old adventure. Very refreshing. “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” is rated PG for some scary moments and mild language. If the child in your life can handle the occasional dark and scary scene and can sit still for a long period, I would still recommend taking him/her along.

Soul indeed. The Los Angeles Staples Center was transformed into a church on Monday, Nov. 12, as Irish rock group U2 proved that rock n’ roll can be a spiri­ tual experience. U2’s congrega­ tion alternated between trans­ fixion and frenzy as the band performed a two-hour set filled with some of their biggest hits. With the house lights still on, Bono, guitarist Edge, drum­ mer Larry Mullin Jr., and bass­ ist Adam Clayton took the stage in an understated fashion not seen since the early 1980s. The band opened with “Elevation,” followed by “Beautiful Day,” both from their most recent album, the Grammy-winning “All That You Can’t Leave Behind.” The stage featured a heartshaped catwalk that allowed Bono to strut into the crowd, pas­ sionately singing into the adoring faces of fans only inches away. The elaborate sets and costumes from “Zoo TV” and “Popmart” were gone. Left behind were the bare essentials, the inspirational music from the four lads from Dublin that’s made them one of the most influential bands of our time. Songs such as “New Year’s Day” and “Where the Streets Have No Name” brought the audience to their feet. Early in the show the crowd heard “Out of Control,” U2’s first single from 1979. An acoustic version of “Please” was also an unex­ pected treat. Gwen Stefani, lead singer of No Doubt (the opening act for the evening), joined the band for a rendition of Marvin Gaye’s classic, “What’s Going On?” Other favorites, such as “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” took (Above) Gwen Stefani of the band No Doubt sangWith U2. (Below) U2 performs for Los Angeles audience. (Pride Photos/Erika Fihch-McCaffrey) proud to be playing in America right now.” Bono dedicated “Kite” to his father, who passed away a few months ago. In a further attempt to connect with the audience, a dazed female fan was brought onstage to play guitar for the Curtis Mayfield tune, “People --------Get Ready.” C N E TR V W O C R E IE Tp h* e gnant moment of the show came during the final encore. “Something about the words ‘rock ‘n roll’ and ‘freedom’ feel like the same thing,” said Bono as he held up his index finger, introducing U2’s most powerful song, “One.” During the song, hundreds of Sept. 11 victim’s names appeared on video screens onstage and were projected onto the walls of the arena and the faces of fans; this reminded us that we are all “one, but not the same.” The names surrounded the audience like spirits, and brought many to tears as Bono changed the lyrics on a whole new meaning for the audience and the band in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. During the anti-war anthem, Bono snatched an American flag from the outstretched hand of a fan and cradled it iti his arms like a child. He pressed the flag to his cheek, and then handed it back to the overwhelmed fan, pas­ sionately crooning, “Wipe Your Tears Away.” Bono later told the audience, “Growing up in Ireland, I was not fond of flags. Until a few weeks ago I would not have felt the way I do about that flag either. We are very humble and of the song and sang, “These are my sisters/These are my broth­ ers” The concert ended with the uplifting “Walk On,” a song about prevailing and healing through struggle.

Instead of letting us escape our fear and uncertainty for a few hours, U2 did something even better: helped us heal.

And we’re also starting to think about whether or not we’re really prepared for the real world. The last few weeks, we’ve been applying for jobs so that after graduating this winter, we’ll be able to enter the ranks of professionals. But it turns out that the real world may not be as excited about our bachelors’ degrees as we are. A few individuals in The Pride office want to become journalists. However the jour­ nalism field is telling them that they’re not quite prepared. Their heads are swimming with, “Do you have any real world experi­ ence? Any full-time experience? Have you done anything besides work at a school paper? School papers are just extracurricular activities, you know.” We have our internships, and we joined our clubs. We did whatever we could to create a great resume for the time when we would be ready to step out into the real world. Well, that time’s coming up. Our “extra­ curricular activ­ ities” are looking great on our resumes, but why aren’t we get­ ting hired? Were we not pre­ pared after all? Take our literature and writ­ ing students, for example. We love studying literature. But then we realize that when we have to find some necessary filing job to pay the bills, Chaucer and Nietzche haven’t prepared most of us for the real world. Sure, reciting a fantastic William Blake poem while we serve fries at McDonald’s may comfort us, but will it help us sleep at night? We’re not so sure. So, what’s a college graduate to do? We’re graduating at a time of great economic uncertainty, a time when those who have graduated years before us are being let go so that companies can make ends meet. Many of the jobs we dreamed of while we crammed for finals may be fading away. Are there answers? We guess that perhaps studying more realworld applications would help. Will visiting the Career and Assessment Center really help? Maybe for some of us, we’ll finally learn how to sell our- Ready to Register By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer When students were able to register for the spring semester, many rushed to the bookstore to get a copy of the spring class schedule. But some students only had two days before their registration date to look over the schedule and decide what classes to take. This brought not only con­ troversy, but many discussions between CSUSM students who were disappointed about this disorganization; however, this was not all. While flipping through the schedule’s pages, guess what? The classes that many of us want or need are only offered once, so we need to make ourselves available for those classes and reschedule our personal schedules. The lack of varying class times is unfair for many seniors hoping to gradu­ ate, because if they can’t take the class, this delays their grad­ uation plans; this is the experi­ ence that many CSUSM stu­ dents are going through right now. Not only do we get a small variety of classes, butthey are only offered once, or only have one section. I am in this situa­ tion, and many students I know are also complaining about this fact. This is a popular complaint discussed among CSUSM stu­ dents. I have discussed this with friends, and heard it as a topic of conversation between others in the Dome and in classes. However, this is not a new issue at this university. For almost three years now, since I first came to this campus, I have heard the same complaint from students. Furthermore, there are dif­ ferent classes that are required for a major, but some of those are offered at the same times. This is the case for some Spanish majors, where two classes are offered at the same time, which doesn’t allow students to regis­ ter for both classes. Is this done on purpose? I prefer to believe in the good will of people and hope that it will be fixed soon, facili­ tating students with their regis­ tration process for the upcom­ ing semester. Not only will this facilitate registration, but also the entire CSUSM experience, because trying to register for a class in the beginning of the semester or “crashing” can be a very unpleasant experience for students. I hope that school officials involved in organizing the class schedules take this advice into consideration. They should lis­ ten to students to know their feelings about the current sched­ ule system and listen to stu­ dents’ suggestions; after all, we are the ones paying for and tak­ ing the classes. As a student, I would like to see a change for the better, where not only do we have the opportunity to choose what classes we want to take, but also have an opportunity to choose the times that would work better for us. College life is already hard as it is, and we do not need a new problem to make it worse. Furthermore, an improve­ ment in the schedules would help the students and also the school in general, which may help enrollment and improve the quality of student life. selves to a potential boss. Or we could always take one of those tests at the CAC. Some of the editors took the “what’s-the-best-career-for-you” test our freshman year at Cal State San Marcos. We don’t nec­ essarily trust the results though. Particularly since it turns out that, according to one the test one of the editor’s should have become a nun. Well, at least if she became a nun she’d have free food and room and board. That may be a step ahead of some of us ready to graduate. For the most part, though, the majority of us are opting for graduate school, because the real world is just a bit too uncer­ tain right now.

Services provided by mental health, education, and juvenile justice agencies often have little impact on the down­ ward trajectory of aggressive children” (Timothy A. Cavell, ‘Working with Parents of Aggres­ sive Children’, page 19). I found an effective intervention with exceptionally aggressive ninth graders to be telling these stu­ dents, still in their formative years, the serious consequences of their current behavioral course (“a life of crime and a life in jail”) but was told that saying such things is “taboo in public education.” By the time it is not taboo, it is too late. The con­ sequences affect suburbanites as well as urban communities. Current policies are worse than ineffective. I have found that the vast majority of ninthgrade mathematics students in an urban school cannot do simple addition and subtraction that they were supposed to have learned in grade school. I was told to observe the class of another teacher, held out to me as a model, and found him telling the students he will give them “100 percent credit” if, in solving a LETTER simple equation, they just show him the steps, even if their addi­ tion, subtraction, multiplication and division are wrong, regard­ less of their answers. This is fraud upon the public. I have found that the main reason the students do not know simple addition and subtraction or the steps in solving a simple equation is their refusal to learn, which is part of their aggressive behavior (above). Satish Chandra Maryland Get Involved on Campus By DUSTIN NAYLOR Pride Staff Writer Did you know there are almost a hundred ways for you to get involved on campus? Cal State San Marcos hosts and spon­ sors student clubs, organizations, honor societies, fraternities and sororities, and the campus com­ munity as a whole, which leaves an entire window of opportunity open for involvement on campus. Not interested? Then get involved in student-based committees. The university makes important decisions involving you, your education, and your campus through means of student-based committees. Both the univer­ sity and Associated Students Inc. sponsor these student/ faculty/administration groups in attempts to get the student voice heard on campus. What if the university want­ ed to increase your tuition pay­ ment by $50? I believe many students would be upset over a student fee increase, don’t you? What about graduation? Do you have a voice or opinion on grad­ uation this year, the next, and the following years to come? Do you have concerns about the ceremo­ ny, the distinguished speakers, or coordination of this sacred event? You probably do. Are you interested in club funding and sponsorship? Did you know there are student funds available to clubs and organizations to help campus climate, academic, and social life here at CSUSM? Committees address a vast array of issues that affect every stu­ dent, every day. The committee serves as a catalyst for all these issues; not by some university executive, but by the undergrad­ uates and faculty that educate you. If commencement prepara­ tions or clubs don’t interest you, there are a variety of other committees to choose from. University committees entail a wide spectrum of campus issues concerning the academic sen­ ate, university student, and glob­ al affairs, and academic plan­ ning and policy. Also, ASI hosts its own committees involved in programming, communications, fundraising, and finance. Now the word “committee” may seem kind of ugly to you. Students regard these commit­ tees as “a lot of work” and “time-consuming.” The biggest reason students give for not get­ ting involved is that they “don’t have enough time for this type of involvement. I have work school, a social life, kids and parents, etc.” These are all legiti­ mate reasons; however, did you know committee membership can be placed and recognized on your transcripts and resumes, give you insight into your own education and the education of those to follow, and serve as an instructional guide to the innerworkings of the university? The committee experience is great for all majors. Whether you’re majoring in business, arts and sciences, or education, the com­ mittee is an excellent way to meet people, gain valuable group skills, and actually make the decisions that govern how we are educated. This involvement is also an excellent networking strategy. The time commitments undergraduates will sacrifice within the committee complete­ ly outweigh the limitations that some students face. It is simple to get involved at CSUSM. First, come to the ASI office (Commons 203) and fill out an application. You will then be given a list of different and dynamic committees to choose from. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call Dustin Naylor, Executive Vice President for ASI at (760) 750-4990. �Students React to “Humanitarian Aid Kills People” Opinion Article Student’s Insight into Issue a Problem To the Editors: In response to the artiele, “Humanitarian Aid Kills People,” written by David Ludwig, I have a few concerns regarding this article’s insight about the under­ lying problem. It seems that the author of this article was clearly influenced by his background in biology, espe­ cially about his assertion regard­ ing population growth and food production. This theory, examined by British economist Thomas Mai-, thus, argued that if unchecked, human population has the natural capacity to expand exponentially, while food production could only be expected to increase at a linear rate. Well, this theory seems to be outdated. , We must look at this type of problem from a cultural perspec­ tive, as noted by John H. Boldley, author of Anthropology and Contemporary Human Problems. Boldley stated that, “It is a mis­ take to assume that natural limits, such as overpopulation, is the pri­ mary cause of hunger. It is the structural aspects of society, par­ ticularly inequalities of wealth and power in cultures* that make food a commercial commodity that the poor cannot afford,” This seems to make more sense than the comparison that Mr. Ludwig made with humans and squir­ rels. So with that in mind, the statement in the article that says “people will starve in greater numbers than would have been possible without the humanitar­ ian aid” is clearly a blind state­ ment that does not address the root of the problem. People do not die because of humanitarian aid, but instead it seems to be because of ruling elite’s stronghold on the food world’s market system. These major corporations make it impossible for the poor to have access to means of basic needs for survival. However, Mr. Ludwig did make one good point that I must agree on which was, “Death is the inevitable reality of life, and it is wrong to think that this can be changed.” I leave you with a quote from Frances Moore Lappe and Joseph Collins, authors of Food First, Beyond the Myth o f Scarcity: “As long as food is something bought and sold in a society with great income differences, the degrees of hunger tells us nothing about the density of the population.” actually export more grains than their imports. And they have the carrying capacity to support their population, not even mentioning that many of the farmlands have not yet developed. The true causes of the hunger in those nations are human-made and can be reversed. It is com­ pletely due to the unequal distri­ bution of agricultural resource in those nations. Also, even though there is plenty of food, there are many people who cannot afford to buy it. Taking African coun­ tries as examples, the elite’s con­ trol good farmlands and other resources to produce money-mak­ Robert Avila ing erops to be exported instead Student of producing food crops for the population need in their coun­ tries.

That’s why humanitarian aid will help, not The erroneous conclu­ “kill.” sion drawn by “Humanitarian Aid Kills People” of your Oct. 30 Tina Schenk publication prompts me to write Student this response. Author David J. Lud­ wig’s argument was that the pop­ ulation in poor countries needing c c humanitarian aid is beyond those countries’ carrying capacity. As such, humanitarian aid will now make the population grow arti­ ficially, and when the aid sud­ denly stops there will be more people dying due to the already poor carrying capacity in those countries. The big myth behind his con­ clusion is that the earth can'no longer support the population. To the Editors: The surprising fact is that the world today produces more food In regards to your article, Mr. than humans need. Scarcity is Ludwig, I have a better idea. not the cause of hunger.

Or did you just happen to read a Charles Darwin book or Conclusions in Error Survival of the Fittest” some other science or statistics book, and figure it all out? In your article you said that by us being humanitarians we are only prolonging their suffering. You are wrong. Helping one person can make a difference. Helping many will make a bigger difference. Being a humanitarian does not only mean feeding people. It is a way life concerned with the inter­ ests of all mankind. The truth is that there is enough food to go around. Today the world produces enough grain to provide the entire pop­ ulation with 3,500 calories of energy a day. That’s more cal­ ories Ilian a lot of Americans today wish to consume. (This is just grain products ; there are still plenty' of other foods to be dis­ tributed). Along with the popula­ tion growth, so has the increase in food production grown even more so. Helping people will not kill people. The problem is the people that think like you. The reasons food seems to be so scarce is due to inequality and messed up governments. A lot of times it is more profitable for countries to export their edibles than to share them amongst their people. It is always the poor that seem to suffer so much. And it is sad that these people who help produce the food are the same people who lack it. Mr. Ludwig is right about the population increase. Something must be done, but “tough love” is not the answer. The answer is education and basic human rights. James J. Simmonds Student Student Holds O ut­ dated Belief To the Editors: Personally, I disagree with the article regarding the potential devastation caused from human­ itarian aid, as such a belief is based on an outdated Malthusian naturalistic dilemma. The belief that, in a natu­ rally occurring society, popula­ tion levels will grow to such large numbers that food produc­ tion deficiencies will lead to death from starvation is a rational yet archaic notion. A more contem­ porary approach should focus on the understanding that we live in a commercially-driven world where particular cultures increase food production for profit, by the use of fertilizer, pesticide use, etc. To illustrate this point, an article printed in Food First, the institute for food and develop­ ment policy, claims that, “many of the countries where hunger is rampant export more in agricul­ tural goods than they import’’ Therefore, such faminerinduced countries (i.e. Africa, Brazil, India* etc.) export more agricul­ turally harvested goods than they import which proves that scarcity is not the cause of starvation. So, you may then ask what is the cause of malnutrition, human­ itarian dependence, and/or star­ vation? Well, it’s simple; causes of hunger are from inequality and an ineffective democracy. Social and economic inequalities interfere with the inability for individuals to feed themselves. Economic inequalities include the desire to increase food pro­ duction, thus supporting both political elites and commerciallydriven market forces while ensur­ ing famine. Altruistic policy methods are established by these political elites in which knowl­ edge is shared at their costs, while coincidently increasing agricul­ tural production (i.e. govemmentally controlled USAID). Secondly, an example of social inequalities may be the increase of birth rates by restrict­ ing women’s rights. For instance, such countries that have managed to lower their birth rates include those that have established wom­ en’s rights and, coincidently, better access to education and health care. Therefore, humans are not like the so-called squir­ rels you compared us to, in that we have the ability to change using such knowledge. Moreover, since we live in a world where food is a commodity, scarcity is not, nor will be, the issue; rather it is inequalities of social power and food production limitations in hunger-stricken countries that needs to be assessed.

Why do we live in a society where a price of an egg can reach $4,000, but the price of an abortion is free to most? Where did the problem begin? We are all guilty, all of us. If we have not partaken in one of these acts we have done some­ thing else against our neighbor. As a country that was founded as one nation under God, we have been blessed. Now we see how much we need his Grace, his undeserved favor. We have been pushing him out of our lives, our homes, our work places and our schools for the last 40 years. Sept. 11 is an example of what happens when a loving God takes his hand from us for forty minutes. You may see this as Gods judgment.. You may ask yourself how could a loving God allow this to happen? I say that is exactly why he allowed this to happen. He is a loving God. What happened on the 11th is a travesty of the most heinous kind. It happened because we live in a world that has the abil­ ity to choose between good and evil, right and wrong. Osama bin Laden chooses evil and we chose wrong. We were wrong when we shoved the name of God, which is Jesus, out of our schools, homes, and lives. The God of the Bible promises that if we repent and turn our hearts back to him, he will rise up and protect us. If we will return to him he will make his enemies perish. He says you are either for him, or against him. God did not make this happen, but he allowed it to happen. In his mercy he pre­ vented the rest of the terrorists’ plan to fail. It is my hope that all men know the love of God, and recognize this as a very loud knock. How loud and how long are we going to make him knock before we let him back into the heart of our nation? TristaMoon CSUSM Student Word Choice in Poor Taste Staff Letter Dear Editors: Referencing the article “Amputate President Gonzalez” in the Oct. 23 issue of The Pride, I understand the author’s point of view but the use of the word “Amputate” was in poor taste and is very inappropriate in this case. In today’s jittery and uneasy environment with the anthrax scare and all, one should be careful in his/her use of words, especially those that sound threat­ ening. Remember Ms. Braun’s (San Diego Unified School District) threatening comments towards a couple of board mem­ bers? I’m no scholastic, but the word amputate means to severe or to cut, as in amputate a limb. Amputation could very well cause someone serious physical harm. I believe there are better choices of words which are equally effec­ tive to prove a point. Don Soriano Facility Services Staff �Cross Country Ends Season at National Championships SCOREBOARD By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor The men’s cross country team ends the fall season by placing fif­ teenth at NAIA National Cham­ pionships. The NAIA National Cham­ pionships were in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Twenty-eight teams participated in an 8-kilometer race on November 17. Out of the seven San Marcos athletes, only one returned from last year. Throughout the season the Cougar men, led by fresh­ man Rene “Billy” Reyes, were at least 25 seconds away from each other. “It was my best year ever, we ran as a team and we qualify as a team,” said Reyes. Reyes hopes to be an All-American.

Kunc, a family therapist and educational consultant, is a published author and a disability rights advocate with degrees from both York University and the University of Guelph. According to Kunc, every pulture in history has had people that were disabled. Modern soci- ety uses the labels of normal and abnormal for the purposes of social control. Kunc also discussed how the philosopher, Foucault, observed that society begins with diversity. Through discourse, however, conditions of abnormality are decided and what is left over must be normal. The definition of abnormality changes in time and culture, says Kunc There are "set" ideas of normalcy for weight and size, sexuality, and gender, just to give a few examples. Kunc asks how people can always stay in that "normal" range. His answer: We can't. A highly dangerous yet preventable bacterial infection is singling out susceptible college students, especially freshmen living in dorms. Recently nicknamed "The Deadly College Dorm Disease", bacterial meningitis progresses so rapidly that even if one survives it, permanent effects may include blindness, hearing loss, permanent brain damage, learning disabilities, and amputated limbs. The infection often causes swelling of the brain, resulting in the restriction of blood flow and a paralysis similar to that caused by stroke. Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos is a young campus that offers opportunities for creating new clubs and organizations. You can make this campus what you want it to be, which is one of the selling points for many students that choose CSUSM as their destination for education. The level of commitment and planning it takes to actually get a club recognized by the university, however, can be daunting.

Photo courtesy ofAthletics lowing tips for safety around By: Steve Compian Pride Staff Writer At the beginning of the crosscountry season, a Pride reporter asked Head Coach Steve Scott if his teams could repeat last year's success. Scott responded by saying "yes," if his runners matured quickly, avoided injury, and ran their best races of the season at the nationals. After the Cougars dominated the NAIA Region II Championships at the Del Mar Race Track, Coach Scott had reason to be optimistic. Both the men's and women's squads limped onto the Del Mar track on November 4, with a combination of illnesses and injuries, and won the regional competition. The NAIA Nationals in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on November 18, however, gave Scott's runners a much chillier challenge. The women's team, braving 32-degree temperature and 10-15 miles per hour winds, finished twelfth at the national finals. Cara Rumble led the women's team with a 25 place finish out of 248 runners in the 5k race. Diversity is the key. "No one else can experience someone else's experience exactly the same," says Kunc. He expressed the importance for everyone to remember and practice diversity with one another. By valuing diversity, diversity becomes normal. We can place a high value on diversity through respect, understanding, acceptance, appreciation, equal worth, mutual benefit, and belonging.

Written Proposal The first item required of someone trying to establish a club is a written proposal. The club proposal is a short description of the club's intended focus on campus, possible club events, and the people the club hopes to attract. The club proposal is given to ASI for approval. Once the proposal is received and approved, there is die task of compiling data for the club. There are more official forms that provide guidelines for the entrepreneur.

Opinion Calendar j ag^.^llljp^SSii^ llllillil mmr mm m i w �2 Tuesday, November 28, 2000 Meningitis Vaccination Available for College Students1 »Article cont. from page Additional attention has been drawn to the vaccine due to the increasing occurrences of meningitis in the United States, especially among 17-22 year-olds. In a recent interview with Family Magazine, Dr. Lon Dubey, an infectious disease consultant with Kaiser Permanente, explained, ' The risk of meningitis remains highest in the first year of life, then begins to fall off, only to 'blip' up again at the 17-to-22year age range." "Meningitis is different because it is one of the few diseases where someone can be completely well and within hours be dead," says Nancy Rosenstein of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Over the last ten years, cases of bacterial meningitis infection have more than doubled among college students. The American College Health Association reports that bacterial meningitis struck about 3,000 Americans last year. Around sixty-five percent of the cases occur to people from ages 15-22. There are 125 cases on college campuses annually, causing around fifteen student deaths per year. Victims of the infection often seek medical help when it is too late to protect them from its phys- ically ravaging effects. * One such college student was Melanie Benn. In December 1996, the eighteen-year-old San Diego resident dealt with the devastating consequences of the insidious bacterial infection. After arriving honje from her dorm at Humboldt College, Benn felt she had the flu, but her concerned mother still took her to the emergency room in time to save her life. Within a week of the onset of symptoms, Benn suffered amputation of all four limbs and the destruction of her kidneys as a result of meningitis. What is Meningitis? The term meningitis suggests an inflammation of the meninges, the protective covering surrounding the complex central function of the brain and spinal cord. If the immune system becomes weak enough to allow infection either from pre-existing viruses in the body or the presence of specific bacterium in the blood, this protective coating is compromised, allowing infection to attack one of the most vital systems in our body. The resulting inflammation may swell the brain and disrupt the complex messaging network of the central nervous system and control of vital organs. Severe headache, muscle ache, and vomiting are direct physical responses to the infection's attack. Bacterial meningitis is far more serious than the more common viral meningitis. Viral meningitis occurs when any random, pre-existing virus in the body overcomes the body's resistance and infects the meninges. Viral meningitis is not contagious and, if proper care and rest is taken, usually clears up in a week or tem would normally be able to two without medical attention. fight off the bacteria before any Bacterial meningitis, on the noticeable symptoms occurred. other hand, is highly contagious The same social behaviors that and caused by a group of sjpe- contribute to the spread of the cific bacterium encountered in bacteria also compromise the the environment.

The shuttle has been available since the 1998 fall semester. A parking officer who gave ridesto students parked in remote lots initiated the shuttle service. Parking Services decided to use this idea as an alternative mode of transportation. It proved to be more convenient than walking and students arrived from the parking lots to campus much faster. The Parking Shuttle can hold up to seven people and is wheelchair accessible!. This semester the shuttle has averaged 110 riders a day and, as of yet, there have been no complaints. For more shuttle information, visit Parking Services located in FCB 107 Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. »Article cont. from page 1 You may want to impose a small membership fee, like $5, in order to raise initial funds for the club. When you recruit members for the club, it is important to understand that these campus organizations are limited in their advertising capacities unless they have completed all the requirements set forth by ASI and have been recognized as an official club. (The process o f' official recognition happens once at the beginning of each semester). Students can use word of mouth or hand out fliers to recruit members for a new club. There are also three designated areas, or corkboards, for advertisements that are not linked with the university. Student and Residential Life in Craven Hall 4116 must approve advertisements. At least five people are required to commit to a club before it can be recognized; the five students must be currently enrolled at CSUSM. Three of the five members must be officers: a president, vice president, and treasurer. The president and treasurer will later be required to attend a two-hour training meeting with the club's advisor, a faculty member who will sign off on your club-idea. An advisor The CSUSM Parking Shuttle Is Here for You By: Tiaca Carter Pride Staff Writer Are you tired of walking seven billion miles from your car to campus? Then get with it and take the shuttle. Parking Services has a shuttle that runs Monday through Thursday from 8:30am to 3pm for those of us that don't feel like making that grueling trek from our cars to campus. The Parking Shuttle runs every fifteen minutes throughout the campus, rotating fromGraven Circle, Chavez Circle, the VPA Annex and Lot B. It also picks up and drops off students at the Student Health Services' (SHS) Building. Parking Services also encourages students to take advantage of SHS' 160 parking On Campus The Pride lege students, especially those planning to live in dorms or residence halls, get the bacterial meningitis vaccine. The vaccine provides strong protection (three to five years) against the four most common of the five infection-causing bacteria. The vaccine, which usually costs $65, is not covered by most health care plans, but is offered free at many colleges across the country. Cal State San Marcos does not offer the vaccine. A false sense of security could also be dangerous to students who think themselves immune to infection because they do not currently live in a dorm or residence hall. With friends and family members living in dorm situations visiting for holidays, or the chances of coming into contact with the bacteria in other ways, it can help to be aware of the symptoms and the ease with which the bacteria are transmitted. Overcoming the debilitating effects of the infection, Melanie Benn has since become somewhat of a local and national hero after winning a silver medal as a swimmer in the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney. Her positive attitude, strength of spirit, and public exposure has turned more attention lately to the dangerous risks of the bacterial infection. In a recent interview with Glamour Magazine, Melanie Benn gave a very realistic portrayal of the importance of the growing dangers of meningitis: "The numbers [of infections] are low, and I don't want a frenzy about this. I just want people to know that the infection is out there, and that the vaccine is an easy way to prevent it."

The difference, Shelton insists, is that troops in the military still regard the former officers as though they were on active duty and that should be reason enough to maintain low profiles during the elections., Why did the who's who of retired military veterans favor George Bush over A1 Gore? Neither candidate has the kind of military career that normally attracts the favor of the armed forces' elite. In the war for voter appeal, however, Bush may be benefiting from his lack of exposure to the nation's military leaders. He may be seen as an unknown commodity, whose only by more than $50 billion dollars did not sway the former generals. thiring the third presidential debate Gore said, "I propose $100 billion dollars for this purpose [military spending], the governor proposes $45 billion dollars." According to an October 28 Washington Post article, A1 Gore's foreign policies would be seen as an extension of Bill Clinton's; instead of allocating money for purchasing new hardware, Gore will spend the extra dollars by placing the military in relief missions like Somalia. Rebuilding the military has been Bush's favorite campaign promise during the 2000 elec- While fighting over ballots became a hot issue in Florida, many people believe that the Republicans had already scored major victories in the trenches of Quantico, Virginia and West Point, New York. George Bush may have fired the first round in winning the war for the military vote by flaunting the support of several notable retired generals. Gulf War heroes, Norman Schwarzkopf and Colin Powell, who commanded the force that defeated Sadam Hussein's army in Kuwait, head a list of former generals, who see Bush as America's best chance to rebuild a military they believe has been over committed, misused, and dangerously under funded. The number of former generals who lined up behind Bush raised eyebrows in the Pentagon where senior officers like General Henry Shelton, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have voiced disapproval of retired generals using their military clout to stump for candidates. Shelton publicly questioned the former officers for stepping outside the military's traditional role of not engaging George W. Bush and Al Gore. in political fanfare.

Plan to Save Local Toads By: Benjamin Wayne Pride Staff Writer The U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) recently announced the jcompletion of a recovery plan for the arroyo southwestern toad (Bufo californicus). FWS is the regulatory agency responsible for the conservation of wildlife and their habitats. The FWS's recovery plan purports to protect the toad by conserving and acquiring additional habitat. The plan, which renews the agencies efforts to monitor and study the arroyo toad population, is now available for public comment at local Fish and Wildlife offices. The arroyo southwestern toads were listed as an endangered species in December of 1994. Because of their recent listing, few major steps have been taken to preserve and protect the arroyo toads. The objective of the FWS's new recovery plan is to provide a framework for federal, state and local agencies, and private entities, for the long-term recovery of the arroyo toads. If successful, the FWS hopes to reclassify the arroyo toads, changing their status on the endangered species list from endangered to threatened. Environmentalists, however, do not share the same enthusiasm for the recovery plan. Watchdog groups have pointed out that the plan does not obligate the expenditure of public money nor does it mandate any specific action by the FWS or any other agency to protect the toads. Furthermore, activists have accused the FWS of rushing the downgrading effort, claiming that the arroyo toads' numbers do not warrant reclassification. The arroyo southwestern toads were once found throughout central and southern California. Mainly due to human encroachment, the toads can now be found in only 22 drainages (wetland areas), including the Agua Hedionda valley in San Marcos. The arroyo southwestern toads are small (three to five inches), buff-colored creatures. The lifecycles of the toads are directly linked to the health and volume of the coastal rivers and streams where the toads breed. When these toads lay their eggs in streams and rivers, they require shallow pools with minimal current. The toad population has suffered as watersheds in California are dammed and polluted by silt from nearby development. Additional threats to the arroyo toad include predation by exotic fish and other wildlife, road construction, mining, off-road vehicles, and trampling by humans. �4 Tuesday, November 28, 2000 j ^ g & Entertainment The Pride Giving Birth to a Stone Is a Peach By: Jared E. Young Pride Staff Writer Peach is not Tool. Yes, they both have one-word band names, they both have a vocalist who sings softly over heavy riffs, and they are both bassdriven bands, but that is where the comparisons stop. Tool bassist Justin Chancellor was the bassist for Peach before joining Tool on the band's "most recent album, Aenima, and he rejoined Peach to produce their second album, Giving Birth to a Stone. Peach follows Tool's formula of heavy bass lines and crushing guitar riffs, but the result is nothing like that of Tool. Peach's guitarist falls short generating the art that Tool's guitarist Adam Jones has created as a model, and Peach's vocalist does not hold a candle to vocalist Maynard James Keenan of Tool. The vocals in Giving Birth to a Stone seem uninspired and monotonous at best while the lyrics also lack inspiration. The third track, "Catfood," is an example of a lyrical low point on the album. This album succeeds in producing bass-heavy riffs that build up a tension in the listener that is never truly released. Perhaps the best example of this is the song "Velvet." "Velvet" begins with an eerie guitar riff and moaning vocals followed by the strike of powerful chords and a distorted sound. This pattern is repeated throughout the song, creating a tension that you expect to be released by some sort of scream from the singer—but the screams never come and the song ends leaving the listener seemingly unfulfilled. This, however, is not always a bad thing; the tension continues to build with each song on the album, further drawing the listener in (or the listener becomes frustrated and throws the CD away, either one). The music may seem good, beginning with the album's first and only truly good song, "Spasm," but it becomes plainly obvious that Peach ran out of musical ideas before their first album was complete (and this is only their second album). After "Velvet," the songs begin to blend together and one cannot help but beg for the end of the album (or for Keenan to fill in and add life to the monotony). Sadly, though, this does not happen. Ten songs and 45 minutes later the CD changer skips to the next disc and another singer's voice breathes life back into bored ears. In all, the CD lacks the life to ever make Peach a huge success. This second album is not highly recommended to anyone other than Justin Chancellor fans who merely want to hear hinr display his talents with another band, and a slightly different style of music. For now, listeners will primarily be die-hard Tool fans that wish to own everything that has anything remotely to do with the band (in which case, the album may be worth having). Perhaps, however, it is unfair to compare Peach to the musically and lyrically superior Tool, in which casq Giving Birth to a Stone is not all that bad, but it still falls far shy of being a classic. Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow star in the romanticfilm,Bounce. Photo courtesy ofMiramax Pictures Affleck and Paltrow Provide a Realistic Love Affair in Bounce Unbreakable Won't Break Sixth Sense By: J. Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer It will not live up to The Sixth Sense, but will any movie this guy makes during the rest of his career be able to? With Unbreakable, M. Night Shamylan has created another dark t hriller—this time dealing with comic books instead of dead people. Bruce Willis plays David Dunn, a security guard at a football stadium who is the sole survivor of a horrific train wreck. To make things more compelling, he survives without a scratch on him. Samuel L. Jackson plays Elijah Price, who believes he has the answer as to why Dunn survived. Dunn goes to Price and Price tells him his theory on why he was the sole survivor. Price has a genetic bone disorder which makes his bones very fragile. As a child, Price was tormented by .kids that called him the glass man because he was so fragile. His theory is that Jackson is very fragile and "breakable" and there must be someone on the opposite side of the spectrum who's bones are stronger and "Unbreakable". In this case, Dunn is that man. After all, he did survive the train wreck. Later Dunn is lifting weights in his basement. Much this contact allows Dunn to see what horrible atrocity that person has committed. Dunn never sees people doing good things* only bad. Of course all heroes have a weakness, right? Dunn's weakness is water. As a child, he to Dunn's surprise, Dunn is able to lift up to about 350 pouq^s. Could Jackson's theory be true? Is Dunn a "superhero" with special powers? Dunn finds that his special power is being able to see the dark side of human nature. At the stadium, Dunn is able to simply stand in the middle of an aisle and, as people walk past him and occasionally bump into him, nearly drowned in a swimming pool and caught pneumonia and almost died. Even though his bones may not Jbreak, Dunn can still be killed, in this case by drowning. The ending is very chilling and satisfying, but it won't require you to see the film twice to make sure you got it. Unbreakable is rated PG-13 and has a running time of 120 minutes.

Her presentation explored art outside the context of a museum setting. Jacobs showed slides of her previous exhibits and programs to an audience of more than 50 students. Jacobs' slide show included a program based in Charleston, South Carolina, where art was found in peculiar historical areas. In one exhibit, titled, "Culture in Action," Jacobs, along with other artists, engaged citizens with their local history by turning their ordinary plantation houses into impressive works of art. One plantation had a lawn littered with Civil War cannonballs. The can- nonballs also spilled out to the bedrooms in the plantation. Cannonballs were also placed in the bedrooms of the manor house to symbolize how the war not only invaded the land, but also invaded the private homes and lives of many families. Since 1990, Jacobs has organized groundbreaking exhibitions that test the boundaries of public space and the relationship of audiences to contemporary art. Jacobs, who is a curator and author, also teaches at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Mary Jane Jacobs lectures and contributes to museum catalogues and books. She travels extensively to visit areas in need of artistic renovation. Along with projects within the Chicago area, Jacobs is currently working with artists in San Jose, California. Her extensive training and experience is widely respected from all facets of the art world. Jacobs received a B.F.A. from the University of Florida, Gainesville, and a M.A. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She received professional fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts. Jacobs also received a visiting research fellowship under the Getty Residency Program at Bard College. Kristine Diekman, from CSUSM's visual and performing arts program, coordinates the "Under the Grid" series. "I chose 'Under the Grid' as a title for the series because I felt that it expressed the idea that there are things like play spaces in cyberspace, murals and graffiti under the freeway overpasses, community gardens and grass roots movements which can occasionally break through the grid of laws and structures," says Diekman. By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer About 30 CSUSM students exited ACD 201 enlightened and transformed after nearly an hour of uplifting piano virtuosity^ on Friday, November 17. As they skipped and frolicked toward the parking lots, beaming radiant smiles, they began humming assorted motifs from the complex and beautiful compositions they had just enjoyed in silent and suspenseful audition. This gift of music was given by world renown Norwegian pianist, Tori Stoedle, who performed a rich repertoire made up entirely of Norwegian composers, with the exception of Johann Sebastian Bach's 1 and 2 movements from "Partita No. 2", played in commemoration of the 250 year of the composer's death. As her body swayed above the dark, earth-bound instrument like a moisture-laden cloud, her swift, dexterous fingertips fell rapidly upon the keys with the tinkling sound of wintry raindrops in Norway. Stoedle played a 19 century work by Edvard Grieg ("Homesickness"), and 20 century pieces by Kentil Vea ("Stallogargo"); Folke Stroemholm ("Three Sami Joiks"), David Monrad Johansen ("Scenes From Nordland": "The Portrait of a Woman", "The Little Stone God", "Reindeer", "Towards The Mountain of My Forefathers"), ang Arne Nordheim ("Listen"). Stoedle also prefaced the composers' works with interesting information concerning their lives, their impact on Norwegian music and the inspirational sources and meaning of their compositions. Two fascinating aspects of the program were Stroemholm's "Three Sami Joiks", and Nordheim's "Listen". The first piece was inspired by the composer's anthropological study of some of Norway's indigenous population, the Samis. The work is fashioned after a musical aspect of traditional Sami culture, called a Joik, a unique song identifying each individual Sami that would be sung or played to announce his/her identity while traveling between villages. Arne Nordheim's "Listen", his only w ork composed for solo piano, was written to express the f rustration and loneliness of a h ousehold piano whose e xpressive keys are n eglected and is utilizedas mere f urniture.

Ending her performance amid long periods of clapping, Stoedle smilingly acknowledged the clear appreciation of Cal State San Marcos' small audience. Tori Stoedle is long-time friend of CSUSM music professor Ivar Antonsen, who dedicated his first published work to Stoedle and her husband, Hakon Stoedle, a famous clarinet player who was performing in Brazil the same day.

In past elections, the military voted 9:1 in favor of Republicans. Thousands of non-US Citizens who cannot legally vote were sent letters by President Bill Clinton just days before the election informing them they had registered, and even providing them with Voter Identification Cards to sign and use when voting! These mailings were sent to states with large Latino populations such as California, possibly allowing enough non-citizens to vote and sway the election.

This premature Sharon Feldman "call" of Florida by the media By: David Ludwig for The Pride The payment deadline for registration for classes for the Spring 2001 semester at California State University San Marcos has been changed with no advance notification. For most students it is a significant surprise in the registration process. The payment deadline for the Spring 2001 semester is December 19 . For the Spring 2000 semester it was January 21 , and for Spring 1999 it was January 23 . College students are a notoriously tight-budgeted group. Moving the payment of $853.00 to one month sooner than the approximately 6000 students at CSUSM case. It also says, however, that, "You will not be sent a billing statement." This is a change from previous semesters. Not only is the payment due a month sooner, there will be no notification. The Grinch is smiling, I am sure. Furthermore, the new deadline of December 19 is the last day of the fall semester. Payment is now required at a time when most students are concerned with final exams, not scraping together nearly nine hundred bucks. In the October 24 , 2000 issue, of The Pride, Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard stated, "The University is moving toward a student-centered philosophy." I believe that moving towards a student-centered philosophy at CSUSM is very important, and I appreciate Dean Poullard's admission that CSUSM has not been student friendly. Admission of a problem, however, is not enough. It is necessary tofixthe problem. Schools exist, not for the purpose of collecting fees and providing jobs for administrators, but rather for serving and educating students. This fact seems to be lost on the administration at CSUSM. I do not understand how moving the payment deadline without advance notification from late January, when it has traditionally been, to immediately before Christmas, could be u Erin Miller Geerinch ADlive aMovedWeforeaWtinterSUSM nd Bell C Break F Payment eadline th st rd had any reason to expect will definitely strain budgets, perhaps even making school unaffordable. The traditional payment deadline in late January comes after students have had the opportunity to work during the .winter break and save money. The new deadline comes right before Christmas. This is a change only the Grinch could appreciate. Additionally, it says on the registration portion of the CSUSM web page, "Your class reservations will be cancelled if payment is not received by the deadline date." This is no surprise, as payment is required to attend CSUSM, and has always be;en the th HAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO th considered part of a student-centered philosophy. It appears to be a continuation of the standard anti-student philosophy, which is demonstrated at CSUSM in actions such as removing reference to equality between teachers and students from the mission statement, and pushing student parking further away from school by converting the closest spaces into staff/faculty parking. In the interest of serving and educating students at CSUSM, it is necessary for this Grinch of an administration at CSUSM to actually act in the interest of the students and adopt policies that are student-centered.

Koenig/Staff Photographer Associated Students President makes a statement last week against restrictions on student food-selling during a bake sale and voter registraion drive.. H H H O'.s.. ^O&fti: Bill1 m s ' "ss ^v-^ V- Associated Students protests food policy By Tony Barton News Editor Dancing to a joint venture In supposed violation of school policy, the Associated Students, Inc. sold food on campus to promote a voter registration drive Nov. 15. Corn dogs, cupcakes and ice cream were sold in front of Academic Hall and beverages were sold in front of the vending machines in the commons area. "Students are upset about not being able to sell food on campus to make money," said CSSA Representative Lisa Lopez. 'They've had to take fund raising off campus." Talks were already underway as to the updating of current school policy relating to the selling of food on campus prior to the AS protest The current policy is an agreement between the Foundation and Aztec Shops, the company who supplies The Dome's foodstuffs. The agreement provides the notion that other groups may not compete with Aztec Shops in the CSUSM food market. See FOOD, page 12 �Student turns misfortune into fighting chance One Cal State San Marcos student has found a way to turn misfortune into a fighting chance for life — twice. Gina Erickson of Vista was an aspiring ballerina until an accident in 1992 put Erickson in a wheelchair. Not one to give in to selfpity or to give up, she fought back and worked at her physical therapy and was determined to walk again. She also enrolled at CSUSM and channeled her energies into the Visual and Performing Arts program. Earlier this year another tragedy occurred, however. Erickson was diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), a side effectfromher previous injury. RSD, though it has been known since the Civil War, is still not fully understood. A painful, neurogenic disease that afflicts millions of people, RSD can be treated if detected early. In Erickson's case, it was nearlyfatal.In the last flare up, even though her heartwas healthy, RSD caused messages to be sentto heart to stop beating. Realizing the closeness of her own mortality, Erickson has started the Wings of Joy Foundation. "The only way I can make sense from all this suffering and pain, is that it gives me a chance to make a difference. Early detection is important in the successful treatment of RSD," Erickson explained. "Through the Wings of Joy Foundation, I hope to raise money to increase awareness of the disease and to educate people aboutits*symptams." T he Wings of Joy Foundation's first fundraiser is a fashion show and luncheon from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 9 at LaCosta Resort and Spa. Donations are $40.

Koenig/Staff Photographer An expanded campus access road and a new bus depot are part of recent campus construction. Construction projects nearing completion By Tony Barton News Editor Surrounding construction is a reminder that Cal State San Marcos is a growing campus. Signs of construction are visible on the side of Twin Oaks Valley Road opposing CSUSM's main entrance and the area in between Barham Drive and Craven Hall. On Twin Oaks Valley Road, new Student Health Services buildings are under construction in an approximately 50,000 sq. f t lot in conjunction with Palomar/ Pomerado Health System. The Health Services offices will utilize an area of roughly 11,500 sq. f t, according to Campus Physical Planning Director Russell Decker. The buildings should be occupied in the summer of 1996. Fromtheleftoftheturnaround infrontof Craven Hall to Barham Drive, grading, tunneling and landscaping have been under way, as well as the construction of a new roadway approaching Craven HallfromBarham Drive.

Koenig Editor-in-Chief Students andfacultyhave expressed dismay this week over what they see as a case of "blaming the victim" by campus officialsafterthelate-October assault of a female student "I have to say that I ended up feelingfrustratedaboutthe whole thing," said Donna Peters, a Sociology graduate student Peters said she was concerned about two major things. First, lights in the parking lot have either been off at night and are too dim. Secondly, there should be more patrols In campus parking lots. There is a sentiment among students she s ad she talked to that itappeareditwas the victim's foultfor being assaulted since she did not use a nearby emergency phone. "It just seems like in so many things the focus is on what the victim did wrong," added Liberal Studies major Denise Gilliland. "She probably was so beaten up she didn't know what to do."

The current confusion and regulation concerning food-selling on this campus not only needs to be addressed, it needs to be clarified and reworked to allow student organizations the ability to sell food items as part of fundraising. The Pride supports the efforts of the Associated Students and student organizations to change current policy restricting such food sales. As frivolous an issue as this may seem, it is an important one. Fundraising is the life blood of many organizations on this campus. This added money-maker is not only necessary for the survival of some clubs, it can give students more choices in the kinds of food they can buy on campus. The D ome Cafe and University Store have nothing to fear from student food vendors. The call for free enterprise may be a tired argument, b ut it is valid nonetheless. A stronger argument is that students and clubs deserve to have these options open to them as a simple part of campus life. A bake sale will not put The D ome Cafe out of business. H i e obscurity of current policy, as Student Activities Director Cheryl Evans has pointed out, harkens to a time three years ago when university food services sought to end deliveries from offcampus restaurants to people ordering on campus. O ne deli that advertised in Pioneer, The Pride's predecessor, made such a complaint That deli is n o longer in business, by the way. The policy must be clarified, i tmustbe fair and, most importantly, it must offer student organizations the right to sell food items whenever fundraising is necessary. The times are changing I read with sorrow last July about the merger of North County's two local daily newspapers. Indeed, I held much affection for both. I served as a staff writer/intern at The North County Blade-Citizen in 1991. The editor and publisher of the Times Advocate have supported the PaTomar College journalism department, my alma mater, since I was a student there. Even more so, I have fond memories of watching my grandparents read the "TA" at the breakfast table when I was a child. The newspaperwarsofthe 1980s were waged between old Citizen in Encinitas and the Coast Dispatch. T he Coast Dispatch is now known as the Encinitas Sun. The Citizen was merged with the Blade-Tribune. It was hard enough as a journalist to watch the near-closure of the Vista Press and San Marcos Courier. Now, the biggest change of all comes on Sunday, when the Blade-Citizen and the Times Advocate make their union official under the new name North County Times. The papers announced the name change Nov. 26. I didn't just fear this change for sentimental reasons. The merged paper would mean one less daily newspaper to find OMANS. §ENIG work at once I graduated from Cal State San Marcos. Yet while I have watched the merger slowly occur over the last several months, I have been impressed with the strong commitment that has been made to expand North County news coverage in a time of shrinking newspaper quality on the weekly level. The Sun has gone tabloid, along with the Vista Press and San Marcos Courier. T he News-Chronicle didn't last more than two years. Perhaps what is needed to bring serious journalism back to North County is this merger. I look forward to Sunday's debut of the North County Times, and admittedly I hope their expansion leaves some room for a student newspaper editor who will be out of work as of December. But then again, I wish the same thing at the San Diego Union-Tribune and any other newspaper that will take me. 7U Pride,feott-#w/ The Pride student newspaper now has an on-line edition available on the World Wide Web.

Here are a few suggestions for future Pride issues which are far more worthy of investigating and printing. I have overheard others discussing these topics and I have engaged in these topics myself. Please address: 1) The reasons behind scheduling almost all of the winter session classes at the exact same time so student cannot take two classes. 2) Why the Dome Cafe has no ventilation. 3) What the other clubs and groups on campus are doing and contributing. 4) More promotion of upcoming events instead of only reporting after the fact on the events we missed. 5) Timeline of the construction on campus and what added features we canlookforward to in 1996-97. 6) Finally and most importantly, how CSUSM will expand their curriculum and full-time staff to offer more classes and a wider selection of class times. I write that this is thr most important because the topic of conversation over the entire campus is nottheTKEsbutthe sparse spring class schedule. K CSUSM wants to grow and prosper, a healthy Greek system is great, a safe campus essential, but a wide class selection which rivals others in Southern California is vital.

DW Schneider Baton Rough, LA Wage peace in war of sexes This incident reminds me of a woman (or should I say girl?) who called a radio station to reprimand the DJ on the air for stating his positive attitudes about women in the work place. She was distraught over his inference of the working environment being a gender issue. Hopefully, the absurdity of this woman's complaint can go unexplained. So my advice is this: Watch and enjoy your talk shows at home, but please do not bring their negativity, insignificance or twisted views of reality into the real world. The negative energy that I see controlling and consuming people's lives everyday is a tragedy. I believe both men and women alike should expand their energy onto the more important and positive aspects of life such as work, school and family rather than on what words people use.

Whether Psychology �DORMS THEY ARE I M V P • it Kinks in system, community spirit found at student housing complex By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer When Cal State San Marcosfirstgot off the ground, enrollment was low, as should be expected for afledglinguniversity. But one big reason why enrollment quotas were notbeing met was thatthe university did not have a housing program. Since last May, housing has become one of the many services provided to students at CSUSM. Unfortunately, when one hears "student housing^ they might think "dorms, (i.e., living in a cramped space with three other people and sharing a bathroom with about 20 more)" and recoil in fear. No need to fret Dorms at CSUSM are a long way off, if ever, according to Housing Coordinator Tanis Brown, as the Cal State system no longer funds housing. Students in the program currently reside at nearby Island Apartments, thanks to a special agreement worked out between this facility iind the university. "When t he housing program got started," Brown explained, "there were certain criteria we wanted to m eet how can we set this up so it is affordable for students, maintain a stable relationship with the local community, and we wanted to find suitable apartments close to the university." The program offers many benefits to the students. They are provided with a furnished apartment, they have a choice between single or two-bedroom apartments, their utilities are paid for and living advisors, who live in the apartment complex, are also on hand. Students sign a lease for the school year, say,fromAugust 1995 to May 1996. When the semester ends, they have the option of staying in their apartment over the summer while paying on a month-by-month basis. Prices rangefrom$270 to $420 a month, depending upon whether they are a one or two Oliver Hepp/Staff Photographer Several Cal State San Marcos students live at the Islands apartment complex in San Marcos as part of the university's off-campus housing program. bedroom apartment The CSUSM housing program also offers assistance to students in the housing programs. a Some have made the adjustment (moving awayfromhome to auniversity) pretty well," Brown said. "But in student housing, there are always problems that need to be dealt with, such as roommate and landlord problems." One of the biggest problems students and landlords have is lack of communication/Brown continued. "Before signing a lease, students and landlords often don't put certain things down in writing." This includes living conditions and the manner in which households are kept While the housing program is done specifically for the benefit of the students, it is notwithout its problems. Students in the program cite some rules they consider "ridiculous," such as no pets, no overnight guests (particularly of the opposite sex) and no smoking indoors. Also, some students complain that they are housed right next to families, some with young children. Given that college students are nocturnal by nature, such a condition is a recipe for disaster, as well as complaints from the families. Tanis Brown responds to these criticisms by saying that the guidelines were set up by input from parents as well as from other campuses in the Cal State system. As far as location of student apartments, the housing department did try to place the students in a central area. As far as giving students a single building of apartments justfor them,- "That was out of our control," she said. Doing so would have brought up potential legal problems, as nonstudents applyingfor an apartment at Island Apartments would have had grounds for claiming they were discriminated against. "Chances are, if & student was renting an apartment on his own, he would end up next to some families anyway," Brown added The apartments themselves are not exactly suites at the Hilton, as the furniture is somewhat used, and though they are larger than dorms (which one student referred to as "little prison cells"), the apartments are not as spacious as home was. Even still, students consider it their own community. As student-residents in one apartment were interviewed, their friendsfreelycame and went. One came in asking for help with a Halloween costume, another asked around for some milk, which is of course essential to make the meal which college students everywhere are accustomed: macaroni and cheese. Though they do have their problems (as mentioned earlier), some consider the student housing a good opportunity to make friends. "This is a good place to get to know people, and to socialize. Other than the Greeks, there's no real community at school," said Casey Woodie. Indeed, two of the students in the program interviewed were also in Greekfraternities. Oliver Hepp is in Tau Kappa Epsilon, while Brandon Demamiel is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The housing community seems a fairly loose one. Some joked that they "live on bread and crackers," and as Demamiel kidded, "Ifs really close to midnight golf." "The main goal of the program," Brown concluded, "is to enhance the academic program, and toconnect the students with on-campus clubs; to get them involved." One student, for example, has started a recycling program, and some have gotten involved in a local basketball league. There are currently 39 students in the housing program and there is a waiting list for next semester. Letters are sent out to new and transfer students, as they are the group with the largest potential for taking advantage of the program. �Consider alternative medicine with care While I am always tempted to write about the health and fitness benefits of exercise or recent developments with sexually transmitted diseases or AIDS, some factsfroma recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine need to be known. Alternative health care is increasingly being used. By this I mean acupuncture, herbal medications, chiropractic, homeopathy, massage, relaxation techniques, biofeedback, nutritional counseling, etc. In fact, $11 billion are spent out-of-pocket annually on alternative medicine or, as Oft. some would call it, "complementary medicine". I guess it is an alternative to western medicine or complementary to western medicine. In the study, 34 percent of patients reported seeking the advice of one or more alternative health practitioners. The problem is not that advice or treat- ment was sought, but that only 25 percent of those people told their regular physician or health care provider that they had done so. Most physiciansare not aware of all the different types of alternative health care or believe, necessarily, in their benefit, however, they survey revealed 92 percent of some 500 physicians are will- ing to refer patients for alternative treatment modalities. We at Student Health Services are most interested in keeping students at an optimum level of health and wellness. We can only do that if we are partners with patients in their total health care. Also, I would argue that we are likely to be knowledgeable about alternative practices and indeed, do endorse them if we feel they could be beneficial. However, since some of these alternative modalities can be quite costly, we would encourage the patient to evaluate the benefit of such mo- dalities. likewise, there could be sound medical reasons for not combining certain treatments or the need to make adjustments with medications. Consistent with our goal of helping maintain or restore an optimum level of health and wellness, we encourage you, the patient, to discuss the alternative therapies you are using when seeing a primary care provider.

Campus advising programs offer myriad of services By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Midterms are underway, and stress levels are at their peak point How do you avoid the stress that builds throughout the semester? Take advantage of the tutoring services offered in the labs on the third floor next to the Cashiers Office. Many students tend to wait until they are overwhelmed with work before they seek helpfromtutors or advisors. Calvin One Deer Gavin, the director of ASPIRE, says that students need to take advantage of these services long before the rigors of academia begin to cause stress. "Students who take advantage of both the tutors and the classroom will reap the ultimate benefit," he explained. "They will develop strategies and schedules for organizing and executing assignments and won't have to deal with the stress." There are presently three labs open for peer tutoring: the math lab which is headed by Maureen Dupont, the science lab A. s. P. I. R. E.

Jh �Dance class is joint effort of culture By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Dance 392, American Modern Dance, is a Cal State San Marcos class offered at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido on Tuesdays and Thursdays. University President Dr. Bill Stacy was able to create a partnership with the Center for the Arts, making it possible for CSUSM to utilize a dance studio in central Escondido. Stacy is a chairman of the Department of Education at the center. The department, headed by Administrative Director Leah Goodwin, allows the school benefits like masters classes, presentations by professional performing artists, and the use of the facilities. The class presently has 19 female students and one male student l ike most programs at CSUSM, the class is still new, so not many people know what ifs about a It really depends on what you like. Everyone needs some kind of balance between academic and physical needs," said studentPaul Ryker. T his class is fulfilling in that it allows you to relax and enjoy yourself." The only male in the class, Ryker said he felt that because of the stereotypes and images surrounding dance, many feel that it is a more "feminineoriented" class. Rykeraddedthat "More emphasis is put on the movement and mind/body coordination rather than style or technique." Any kind of physical action, whether it be a sport, an art, or a job, has qualities which allow us to relax andforget aboutthe stress of academic work. "I like the feeling of the movementinvolved in the class," noted Jeanette Robidoux, another student "Dance is a feeling of freedom. The class allows me to experience freedom and self expression." Though the title may be intimidating to many, all experience levels are welcome. The class fulfills the Physical Education and Studio Class requirements with two units, and adds diversity to the campus in its "global ap- Trish Nagy/Staff Photographer Gail Scarpelli, front left, leads Cal State San Marcos's Modem Dance class through moves on yesterday (Nov. 28). proach" to teaching through lecture, dance technique, and dance production, according to professor Gail Scaipelli. "I really feel that the class fits well with the mission of global diversity at CSUSM," she said. "I incorporate many different cultures within the music and expression in the class." Native American and African percussion are just two of the styles of music used by the class. Since it is the only dance class offered, Scarpelli explained that more performing arts classes are needed because they add to the artistic development,and character of the sMdents at CSUSM. through movement, choreography, and information about social influence of the American culture through dance," she continued.

Film Review The American President' is ail-American fun and fluff THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT Director: Rob Reiner Columbia Pictures/Castle Rock Entertainment Starring: Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, David Paymer, Samantha Mathis, Wendie Malick and Michael J. Fox Rated: PG-13 By Andie Hewitt Rim Critic Rob Reiner's latest romantic comedy is simply good, clean fun. He has produced a sweet and sappy movie with no surprises, no sass, no substance. The president, widowed and raising his young child (Lucy) on his own, meets and connects with a career lobbyist and they begin to date. The trials and tribulations of having a "bachelor" president dating, dining and dancing the night away provides much of the movie's merriment and mirth. With the infamous and incredible face and voice of Martin Sheen as his number-one aide, AJ Mclnerney, and Michael J. Fox as his speech writer and voice of the people Lewis Rothchild, President Andrew Sheppard (Michael Douglas) tries vainly to have a "regular-joe" romance with Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening). The talent that Reiner brings on board is immense and underused; they do a good job of politely tiptoeing around each other's performances, never really giving 100 percent There are over- (or under-) tones of sexism throughout the movie with Sydney reduced to a tongue-tied, shaking schoolgirl complete with a crush on the Big Man On Campus. Along with a Knight in Shining Armor and Prince Charming, now we can hope and pray for a date with the President Not only can we dream ofouryoungsonsbecomingpresident, we can hope to marry off our daughters to the leader of the freeworld. You would feel LEFT out if you didn't discern the overt political leanings of this particular presidency, not to mention the proclivities of Mr. Rob Liberal Reiner. He does, however, fill the film with plenty of pride and patriotism, and if only the people in politics were really this nice (and good looking!). Kyou're looking for something shallow, look no further, there's nothing deep, risky or inventive aboutthisfilm. As pleasurable as if s been to watch Rob Reiner evolvefromMeathead to moviemaker, he's done nothing to challenge the face offilmgenre since "Spinal Tap." Here, with "The American President," he safely and securely spits out aformulaic romance complete with, well, go ahead, you canfigure outthe ending about 15 minutes into the movie. Go see the film. Will I talk about it for days on end? NO. Will I put it on my top-10 list for the year? NO. Was I moved, was I motivated? NO. Was I . . . well, you get the picture. The movie was fun, cute and sweet and the sound of Martin Sheen's voice for two hours is well worth $3.50. Hint look for a cameo by a certain Mr. George S.

Smoking Popes:for love«SUBUJft¥* of music or money? By Jill Ballard Entertainment Editor I often wonder why people want to become rock stars. Is it for the fame and money? Ithink everyone wantsthe money, but as for the fame I'm not so sure. Do people seek rock star fame because they have a artform they want to share and they really mean what they sing or do they just accept the fame in order to make a lot of money? Sometimes I'm not so sure. On Nov. 151 saw the Smoking Popes open for Tripping Daisy at the Backdoor SDSU. I interviewed Josh Caterer before the show. He seemed like a nice enough guy, but he also seemed like he didn't want to be there. He probably would have preferred to be home with his well-missed girlfriend Steffany, which is understandable, but he chose to pursue a rock star career. HecouldVesaidnoifhe wanted to. For someone who's supposed to shine in the public eye, he sure does keep to himself. "I don't want the world to know anything about me," he said. He also declined requests for off-stage photos and a signature on the sleeve of the Smoking Popes album "Born To Quit" I asked him if he was a private guy and he jokingly said, aI don't feel private." The Smoking Popes are three brothers, Josh Caterer, Eli Caterer, Matt Caterer, and one other guy, Mike Felumlee. The album has a few catchy songs like their single, "Rubella." Ifs a song about wanting the girl just as every song on "Born To Quit" is about wanting the girl— a very narrow subject to fill an entire album with, but thankfully the album is not too dull. Even if the lyrics get stale they are still fun to sing along to. When asked if he's going to write about any other subjects in the future he said, Hey Josh, what are some questions you hate getting asked? "Well, if I told you t hat you'd probably ask them" " W e n , 1 m m yes, but I'm gonna keep writing about love at the same time. I'm gonna try to combine it with other topics within the context of one song, know what I mean?" An alternative band would not of course be official without making an appearance on MTVs "120 Minutes." The Smoking Popes were interviewed for about 10 minutes and then had one clip of it aired numerous times. I asked Josh if MTV picked his best quote Qfs of him trying to explain why he writes so many "love" songs). "No, i fs one of my worst ones," he replied. "I think they do that on purpose, they go through and kinda pick out the quote that makes you look the stupidest and then they show i t" The performance by the Smoking Popes at SDSU's Backdoor was mediocre. It had some good energy, but seemed a little sloppy. The singing wasn't really into it, but the guitars were fast and fun. I fs hard to predict the future of the Smoking Popes at this point in the game. So far, the title of their current album isn't the plan (although Josh has quit smoking). They are going to start recording their next album in the beginning of the year and they hope to have it out in the spring or early summer. Hey Josh, what are some questions you hate getting asked? "Well, if I told you that you'd probably ask them " Offer good only at 731 San Marcos Blvd. (just west of 78 freeway) location, 471- 8820. Additional charge for extras.

T he reconsideration of more days was already in the works." Gray formed a task force designedto update the policy to give clubs and organizations more freedom to conduct food-selling fundraisers and events on campus. It is Gray's hope that food selling days and/or events will be compromised by the start of the spring semester. According to Gray, days were set aside under the current policy for clubs and organizations to sell food on designated club days. But A.S. has not been satisfied with the tight restrictions, resulting in the protest. "The food selling restrictions protest was successful," said AS P resident C harles Ragland. "Sometimes the best way to approach a policy is to violate it." Other criticism of the current policy comes from Student Activities Director Cheryl Evans, who has never seen a copy of the policy. According to Evans, there is no written policy, but simply an agreement between the foundation and Artec Shops. T he policy has been laid down to the extent of 'here's the rule/ Most follow it to the tee," said Evans. H ie support of the food sales broughtthe largest campusvoter turnout of the year. The voting event also saw the support of San Marcos Mayor, Corky Smith and CSUSM President Bill Stacy in the morning before food available for purchase. Blame Alicia Smith, lieutenant assistant director of Public Safety. "The faster, the quikcer, you contact us, the faster we can get to you." With regard to the dim yellow lights in the parking lot, Smith said she understood that a county ordinance requires such lights to help lessen glare for the Palomar Observatory. Continued from page 2 Madeleine Marshall echoed similar sentiments. "People in positions of authority need to be a bit more savvy," she said. "People out there are scared." Both Smith and Public Affairs "What I was trying to say is that the phones are available, and Director downplayed the hype we want to make more people over the incident, saying that this aware to use the phones," replied. is the first such major assault in six years. Students and faculty take issue with that, however. "There's this wholefictionthat we live in the boonies," Marshall explained. "And anyone who reads the Times Adovate knows that if s not safe at all." Marshall said she will be teaching an evening class next spring, and walking to parking lots in groups and being aware of campus safety programs is essential.

ASI holds Love Yoúf Body event BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday October 29 during university hour, men and women alike visited the Library Plaza and participated in "Love Your Body Day." The plaza was f ull of booths, giveaways, and activities encouraging students to love their bodies. The ASI Women's Center put on this event for the fourth year in a row, but the National Organization for Women (NOW) started this event 12 years ago. Jessica Castro, a Women's Center peer educator and the coordinator of "Love Your Body D ay" described it as "an event about positive body image." The NOW website descepáis it as a day encouraging wqújga*tó "fight b ack" against cosmetic, fashion, and diet industries which "work hard to make each of us believe that our bodies are unacceptable and need constant improvement" in order to sell their products. The event on campus included tables by organizations f rom on and o ff campus promoting positive body image, health, and athletics. Clif Bar gave out f ree samples of the LUNA bar which they market towards women, and Froyo Love gave f ree yogurt to anyone who got a card stamped to prove he or she had checked i | n at every booth. §^Sttident Health and Counseling Services representatives Cathy Nguyen, a health educator, and Shannon Starnater, an intern, talked to students about healthy habits and remind them that they have access to nutritional counselors. One popular table at t he event was one at which people could color drawings of a vagina with crayons. Melissa R odriguez of t he Women's Center explained that t he coloring sheets were " for the inner child in all of u s t o get more f amiliar with their vagina and to not t hink of them as ugly or scary," and explained that children o ften Photos by Maeve Camplisson learn t hrough coloring books and worksheets. The Women's Center had another booth selling pink shirts, which read, " Start a revolution. Stop hating your body." They also gave away buttons with various empowering messages. The LGBTA club set up a table against domestic violence, and J ennifer Meneray, club president, explained to visitors that domestic violence can be committed by anyone and towards anyone no matter their gender, despite popular stereotypes. The Pride Center gave away f ree bracelets and supplies while visitors had the o pportunity t o write and draw positive messages inside a traced body. �TEP D H RE I Faces & Places Way, Watch out the Tea Party Express is abouti Money Management BY JAMES ROCHE Pride S taff Writer Depending on whom you are and how much you keep track ofthe news and politics, you may have heard that the Tea Party Express arrived in San Diego last Sunday at Tuna Harbor Park. The movement hits 38 cities in 17 different states, starting in San Diego, California and eventually ending u pjn Orlando, Florida three weeks later. Other states being visited include Alabama, Louisiana and most notably Texas, which has the most stops on the schedule with 7. As t heJgsy|8B was in S p Diego I fektisfe^v^inldeal opportunity to invest^gate j ust w ^at the Tea jfearty Express supportirs were actually protesting a bout Upon arriving I sdw ffaeq? was j£&rowd gathering, m ^ y holding t iigns expressing their views. "Just Say No to the O," "Socialists are just thieves with an education," "Obama don't attack our freedom of Xpression, What are you afraid of, the truth?" I decided to interview a few local residents about why they were at the protest and what they thought of their President of the United States. One man said, "I stood up against communism when I was in the Navy and now they're in the White House." Ha^was worried about his grandchildren and their future ifthe country continued the way he thought it was going. He also talked about his views on health care, he said, "It's not about giving health care, it's about controlling the people." _ Another protestor shared similar views, she said, "It's a move towards socialism, taking over the health care system, appointing tsars. We need to reform the health care system, not replace i t" When asked about their thoughts on Obama they seem to respond negatively towards the President, one man said, "He's pathetic. He's put all the tsars in the white house, he starting out with socialism. If he gets a second term the country will be in a hell of a situation." Other pvrotestors went further, "He's completely t akingthe country in the wrong direction. He's not done anything. He's j us|a PR figmen^a persona, a celeBnty ^ i d e n t " % said onewoman. One protestor had a difr; ferent insight O Obama, he said, Q "Would you I k your 16 year old daughter learn to drive in your $100,000 Mercedes?" I replied no, he then said* "Well that is like what Obama is doing with this country; he?s learning to drive with this country.- That had t o Be the best quote that I got during the day. He also said, ¿"He's buying people, buying the public, with peanuts." As a writer and an exchange student I am trying to remain impartial, but you, the reader, can look at the protestors' comments and form your own opinion. Do you think these people have a point? Or are they completely wrong? Do you think that Obama is taking America into a brighter future?

Best-case scenario: recitation of the lyrics could pass as a poem (a well-crafted poem, specifically). Granted, there are plenty of artists out there whose real talent is musical composition. Call me biased, call me crazy, but I'll get defensive if you call me wrong. Of course, this is a bit of an irrational claim. Considering a lot of the most popular musicians don't even write their lyrics (a la Britney Spears, anyone?), I'm sure my feeble views aren't the consensus of the listening world. After I realized that, I figured a little selfreflection was in order. There are 62 Sigur Ros tracks in my music library. I know there are more to be had, but I'd say a collection of that many songs provides a decent knowledge of the band. Something that just happened to get past me for a time is that the song lyrics are in Icelandic. Ok, big deal. I don't understand the meaning of the words, but they sure sound nice. And Jonsi Birgisso, lead singer and lyricist, is so creative that he crafted an entire album without actual lyrics. Guitarist Goggi Holm makes strange, howling noises by dragging a cello bow across his strings, while Kjarri Sveinsson and Orri Pall Dyrason add more interest with keyboards and percussion. Now is the point of no return.

The album ( ) is easily the band's most inventive work. In Sigur Ros's 2006 documentary, Heima, Birgisso said the human voice is too separate from the music it accompanies. In other words, the nonexistent lyrics of ( ) are the most refined gibberish on the planet. Birgisso calls the emotive "language" Hopelandic, or Vonlenska in Icelandic. Incidentally, ( ) just happens to be my favorite Sigur Ros album. And look at that, there are no lyrics to speak of. Notice that it's even a mystery how to actually say ( ) aloud. Sigur Ros's four other studio albums have lyrics, but the majority of them are in Icelandic. Their meanings are only accessible through shoddy translations from fans on the internet, so the real effect of the words is simply masked by translation. On their latest album, Med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust (translation: With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly), there is one song in English, called "AH Alright." As per the norm, the song is an instrumental beauty. But the lyrics, some of which hardly make sense, don't propel the song the way the ambient sounds do. Did you catch that? It's the music that makes the song. I set out writing this with the objective of proving myself wrong, and this unassuming Icelandic band helped me do it. Innovation is the name of the game here, and if an artist can write a successful song using all of three words, he must be doing something right. Sigur Ros, you're doing it right.

Modern elections can be confusing for many prospective voters, especially young people looking to make fact-based decisions.

Today, the CSUSM Veterans Center serves several functions. The center not only provides a place for the ever-expanding population of student veterans to hang out, but also provides much needed information on the ben- efits of being a student veteran. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) works with the CSUSM Veterans Center to help student veterans. The center serves as an intermediary to guide the process of acquiring benefits from the VA. The CSUSM Veterans Center mediates between students and the VA in order to ensure students get the most help possible. Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill, student vets are eligible to receive help with their tuition and l^^^ffifi fees, monthly housing, books, and supplies. Legislation like the Post-9/11 GI Bill has allowed easier reintegration of veterans into schools once their service is complete. It is available for veterans seeking undergraduate or graduate degrees, as well as vocational and technical training. The Veterans Center recruits veterans as potential students to CSUSM by setting up booths at junior colleges and military bases. Their goal is to let veterans know that CSUSM is a veteran friendly campus that strives to help them as much as possible. The CSUSM Veterans Center also provides information on veteran life outside of school. They help student vets find out what veteran activities are taking place in the local area. While information is essential, the Veterans Center serves as a friendly environment for student veterans to relax, drink coffee, watch TV, or surf the web. The center features a large TV that the vets use to play some of their favorite movies including "Avatar," "The Hurt Locker," "The Dark Knight," and "Super Troopers." Student veterans enjoy a movie at University Hour. When two members of The Pride staff told me they wanted to do a mock debate for the paper, I raised my eyebrows. I may have also rolled my eyes. We've all been inundated with political information during this election cycle, and I'm starting to become a bit indifferent. You might be, too. However, the issue of immigration is always on the edge of our consciousness as San Diegans. When Jillian and Amy said they wanted to debate a hypothetical proposition, involving temporary closure of international borders, I gave it some thought. This issue is becoming more and more polarized, and it may be something we see on our ballots at some point in the future. The opinions included in this debate do not represent the beliefs of any staff member at The Pride, including Jillian and Amy. They are assuming roles as part of an exercise, meant to teach and inform. To put it another way, they got sick of all the ugly debates during this election, so they made an intelligent one of their own. We've in- MOCK STUDENT DEBATE Amy Salisbury: Jillian, do you want to start us off? is free and open to everyone. The center is located on the third floor of Craven Hall. The Veterans Center is not an official school club; therefore, the center does not receive an operating budget from CSUSM. They welcome donations of anything from DVDs to food. As the population of student veterans grows, so does this community of men and women eager to earn their degrees.

There are currently seven student veterans running the center with room for expansion. Two of the members of the Veterans Center are on active duty in the Army Reserve. The CSUSM Veterans Center also helps sponsor various events throughout the semester. On Nov. 9, they will be holding their annual Veterans Day celebration at noon in the Tukwut Courtyard. It will feature a color guard of CSUSM student veterans and feature a message from the deputy commander of Camp Pendleton, Col. David Myers.

AS: Ok, well, I appreciate your points of view, Jillian, but I believe that, I differ slightly in my assessment of illegal immigration. First o f f , immigration has been a part of this country since its inception. There would not be an America without illegal immigration. There wouldn't be diversity without illegal immigration. There wouldn't be an America without this diversity that has come here, whether through the system or not, and that's the bottom line. There are ways to become a citizen of this country legally, and that is one of the arguments that I hear quite often about illegal immigrants is that they choose not to become a citizen. They choose to not follow the rules of the country that they are wanting to live in. But becoming a citizen is one heck of a process, and some people come here with eight children and they don't have the time, and they work 20 hours a day and they don't have the money to buy the books to study all the things they get tested on. Jillian Kerstetter: Yes, I will start us o f f . One of the main arguments that is usually presented by a lot of political parties, political news activists, everything like that, is that illegal immigrants, however unfortunate their circumstances are from their country, have repeatedly taxed our own economy, meaning having to accommodate illegal immigrants or students in our schools, them taking away jobs from our working class. It's just become more of a problem for us than it has really been helpful for them. It's always been a Catch-22 situation, but I think at this point, we need to take a step back possibly, and look at the potential damage that could be See DEBATE, p g4 done to our regional and potentially ourfederal sectors if we keep allowing unregulated immigration, or illegal immigration.

The reason they come here is under hardship, and when the country that suggests freedom and equality imposes this on people who just want a better life, it is a contradiction in and of itself JK: That is a very good point. And surprisingly enough, I do agree with some of them. We should be a country that does as we claim, takes in the tired, the weary, the poor. And I alsoagree that this is a country of immigrants. Like every other country in the world, we should have a system for becoming a citizen of this country. If you can't follow that system, you shouldn't be allowed in. AS: You're right, countries maintain regulation by imposing laws on anyone who wants to be a part of that country. That is not the illogical part. Perhaps what needs to be done is to create less stringent rules on what it takes to become a citizen. They just want to come to a place where they can have a job. JK: What is America saying to those countries that these illegal immigrants are coming from? What about their own power as a country to help their tired, their weary, their poor? I think it's almost undermining them to say that we offer this great refuge... If you want to talk about the more pertinent case in our scenario, of California, considering this has to come up. Obviously that is the more pressing issue as far as illegal immigration. Why aren't we extending a hand to the Mexican government? Offering them solutions , you know, money, whatever to help rebuild their government that is failing their people? AS: Well, although I can't name specifically the things that this country does for other countries, I know based o f f , I don't know, common knowledge that—we don't—we're not passive. We are not a passive country. We don't stand by and allow for injustices whether in our country or another. I think i f s unfair to suggest that America is trying to take on the problems of the world because I don't think we are. JK: I agree. I don't think we're trying to take on necessarily every single problem of the world, but then at that point though, we •LáiSI- j i Hi li do need to have—I would sug- we need to halt anything to gest—I would be suggesting that develop a solution?

JK: Naturalized citizens are citizens. I think we have to look more at what's happening now. I'm not saying that the border closures would be for forever. Immigration is a positive aspect in some cases, like you just said, it's on a case-by-case basis. However, at this point in time, it has been a heated problem that many people have many differing opinions on. We need to get on the same page. AS: Illegal immigration is not the problem. Policy is the problem.

Many of these memorials are well-known tourist spots, while others reside like hidden gems for the community to discover and appreciate. With origins dating back to 1914, the Mount Soledad Memorial is one of the more recognizable memorials in San Diego. The symbolic cross stands at 29 feet and is dedicated to Korean War veterans. Surrounding the cross are six walls of black granite, with thousands of memorial plaques engraved with individual stories to commemorate war veterans. Mount Soledad Memorial holds a magnificent view of the coast, placed high above La Jolla, and serves as an important place for visitors to take a glimpse into history. This memorial is open to the public from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is located along La Jolla Scenic Drive South. For specific driving directions, see the memorial's site: http://www. soledadmemorial.com/indexiitm. Closer to San Marcos is the Wall of Courage, a memorial in Escondido's Grape Day Park. The memorial is the result of funds raised by a local elementary school, veterans' organizations, and the Escondido City Council. The Wall of Courage stands as a tribute to the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. The statues consist of two men and a woman standing in front of a wall that is covered in plaques with the names of those who served in the military from World War I to those who currently serve today. Grape Day Park holds many more memorials, including a Pearl Harbor Memorial and a Veteran Memorial dedicated to men and women of all branches of service.

("This Land is Your Land," Bruce Springsteen) Found on Live 1975-1985, the Boss's-rendition of Woody Guthrie's American classic features Springsteen in fine form, making a nice little tune ooze with emotion. Also in vintage Boss fashion, in this version the audience hears a seemingly spontaneous story to preface the performance. Did you know "This Land is Your Land" was written in response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" Woody disliked the song and wrote "This Land" in 1940, in appreciation of the common people. It's a fine song, but would I stick the original in my iPod? Not a chance. But Springsteen's version? I already did. song is "Changes," by Tupac Shakur. It's reminiscent of a time when rapping was more poetic and less iTuiies Top 10Q. Even if your own musical taste doesn't include hip-hop, "Changes" has a way of making people delve deep into the significance of America's mixed culture. It's 2010, and the United States is still fighting issues of racism and eurocentric dominance. We can take a few cues from Tupac and try to make some changes. Whether these issues in his song are personally relatable or not, everyone can understand his message that prejudice exists and needs our attention. Tupac encourages all people to create the changes we want to see. As elections are approaching, you might ask yourself what's the point of voting? We can change tomorrow by having our say today. The time to act is now. College students have a voice worthy of attention. So CSUSM, use that voice, speak up! And as Tupac said, "It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes." Let's make some better and brighter ones. litical outrage by penning sharply intelligent lyrics. While written back in 1988, "Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards" is far from being outdated.

From questions of blowing up the world, to giving money to the poor, "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song" gives the listener the opportunity to think about the decisions they would make if they were a major world leader. As the dawn of the 2010 elections is upon us, remember that our votes give us power. The song's final lyrics ask the listener the question, "With all your power, what would you do?" heartbreaking to send them on assignments from which they don't return.

The event included many booths where visitors could get a henna tattoo, and stop by the wellness center booth, where health information was passed out, and resources on maintaining a healthy sex life were available. In addition to booths, the event was served food, water, snacks, candy, and back and hand massages. Thee event also featured a red carpet where people had the opportunity to strut down with confidence and make the statement of "I am beautiful and proud." Jenilee Remigio, the Communication Coordinator at the Women's Center said, "The purpose of the event is for women to embrace their bodies as who they are, what they look like, and know that they are beautiful just the way they are, and to challenge society's beauty standards." Unfortunately, society has put a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way. This pressure can be found mostly in American media, which presents certain images to young girls of what a woman should look like and what beauty is. TV comj mercials have also become much r more provocative. The only way for women to completely break I out of this ingrained body imf age idea is by completely loving themselves, and throwing away \ the idea that beauty only comes in one form.

Men and women fought alongside each other for the same cause and in the same squads. The filmmakers chronicle a group of female veterans known as "Team Lioness," which consists of Specialist Shannon Morgan, Specialist Rebecca Nava, Major Katie Guttormsen, Captain Anastasia Breslow, and Staff Sergeant Ranie Ruthig. Through WWDE diaries and interviews, the film captures the feelings and experiences of this pioneer group of soldiers. In her diary, Captain Anastasia Breslow wrote, "I still can't believe that I was in a firefight. Me, a female signal officer, someone expected to support from a desk was out there. They needed a Lionness team so badly, that even as a support officer I was pulled in. I hope I don't have to do them very often but, I will never try to get out of it."

PoIicy Of Truth-Depeche A student and a veteran An insight look into the lives of military students BY VANESSA CHALMERS ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Honoring our Veterans is an annual tradition come Nov. 11. For those of us who may not be directly linked to veteran, the perception of one may often be misconceived as an older, pony-tailed grandpa, eager to reminisce about the old days. While many of our grandparents, indeed, are veterans and worthy of that stereotype, the image is not all-encompassing. At CSUSM, veterans walk our halls, are in our classes, and share the same burdens of student life as us. However, their academic lives are tinged with the experiences that only a life in the armed forces can bring. When asked what one of the most challenging parts about returning to civilian life as a student has been, vet Elijah Artiaga confesses, "Making friends." Having come out of an camaraderie formed with the people he served four years in the Marines with, finding people with common life experiences has been a difficult mission but, Artiaga is not alone. The Veteran's Center at CSUSM, located in Cougar Central, offers a common ground for veterans to hang out. Fellow vet Nighat Beg explains that after having served in* the Navy for 10 years, the Veteran's Center has allowed her to meet people and make lasting friendships outside of service. For Beg, her challenge came in the form of fashion. "I had to buy more civilian clothes!" she said. Approaching college with years of military experience in tow has definitely instilled some beneficial learning tools in many student vets. Responsibility and punctuality are two things veteran Aaron Green has been glad to apply to his academic career. "I come to class and hear students make weak excuses about being late, because their alarm clocks were broken, and I think, 'Really? Your alarm clock was broken?'" Many veterans, like Artiage, join the armed forces to fund their college education, either attending school while in service, or resuming their education after their service is complete. As a result, student vets come to college with more life experiences than the incoming first years who transition to college straight from high school. Often times, their experience in the service influences their career path, like Beg, who explained that having worked with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) patients in the Navy has inspired her to pursue a graduate degree in Social Work, specializing in PTSD. For incoming student veterans, Beg encourages openmindedness. Moving from a highly organized environment to one that is more lax in time, duties, and even fashion, it is important to "think outside the box" and be open to new situations. As for the upcoming holiday, our vets have veterans of their own they would like to honor, such as Green's friend Erik Wegmann in the Navyfightingpiracy off the coast of Africa, and Chad Geddes' family member Carlos Ashlock, who went MIA during Vietnam. As Nov. 11 draws near, The Pride encourages you to remember to honor the veterans past and present who have dedicated their lives to make ours what it is in this country: free, strong, and resilient. Thank you to Nighat Beg, Aaron Green, Elijah Artiaga, Chad Geddes, and Travis Riley for their contributions to this piece and for their service to our country.

This action packed film, starring Tom Hanks as Capt. John H. Miller and an all- star cast (Matt Damon, Edward Burns, and Tom Sizemore) set the standard for one of the most graphic battle scenes in a movie. The first 15 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" begins with the June 6 1944 and Allied troops storming of the beaches of Normandy, France. The worst part of this opening scene is a dying soldier lying on the ground screaming for his mother while his entrails are falling out of his stomach. "Saving Private Ryan" is not a movie for the faint hearted. The film wonfiveAcademy Awards. Honorable Mention: Black Hawk Down (2001) Best Depiction of the War on Terrorism: The Hurt Locker (2009^ Last March, "The Hurt Locker" scored six Academy Awards (including Best Picture) making Kathryn Bigelow thefirstfemale director to win Best Picture. Jeremy Renner plays the lead as Sergeant First Class William James, leader of a highly trained bomb disposal team. Set in the year 2004 in Baghdad, the movie focuses not on political or social problems, but the hardships of a soldier's tour of duty. Dangerous bomb diffusion scenes reveal the skill it takes to survive in a place where nobody can be trusted. "The Hurt Locker" shows the intensity and stress war can put on the soldier. Honorable Mention: No End In Sight (2007) Best Romance in a War Film: Gone With The Wind (1939) "Gone With The Wind" appeared at a time in American history when life in our country was bleak. The country had suffered through the Great Depression and World War II was engulfing all of Europe. The plot of the film - the tumultuous period of the Civil War - paralleled to the catastrophe Americans were suffering through during "Gone With The Wind's" release. Thisfilmbecame an instant American classic. Clark Gable (Rhett Butler) and Vivian Leigh (Scarlett O' Hara) portray one of the most heart wrenching romances in a movie. O'Hara suffers through losing her status, husbands, innocence and strength, a child, and ultimately, her true love (Butler). Honorable Mention: Casablanca (1942) Least Historically Accurate: The Patriot (2001) Set in 1776, during the American Revolution, "The Patriot," follows the life of Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) a French-Indian war hero. Martin lives as a farmer in South Carolina with his seven children. Martin remembers the brutality of the French-Indian war and decides to remain on the sidelines of the Revolution, until his family is endangered by British troops. Some of the inconsistencies of this film are a torching of a church full of people (never happened), slaves being able to enlist in war (never would have happened) and an unfair exaggeration of British aggression toward Americans. This film did not make as much as it was projected to at the box office. Honorable Mention: Pearl Harbor (2001) Best Philosophical Message in a War Film: Apocalypse Now (1979) "Apocalypse Now" explores the madness of the Vietnam War. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, "Apocalypse Now" delves into the minds of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) and Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) during one of the most horrid wars in history. Cpt. Willard is sent to kill an insane Kurtz, but this journey changes Willard in ways he did not know possible. Coppola explores human nature and the darkness war can instill on the human mind.

Although nothing has been finalized yet the Student Housing Advisory Committee feels it has a clear understanding of what the students would Retirement Luncheon Celebrated 10 Years of Service Cynthia Woodward P RIDE STAFF WRITER A fter much research and anticipation the students of CSUSM will finally be able to enjoy residential life on campus. The future housing units will be apartment-style dorms, with approximately two beds per room, for a total of 400 students and will be available in the Fall of 2002. V ol.

Other issues include having rooms that are equipped f or today's advanced living, a "port f or every pillow" Internet and telephone access in every room. At this point in time there is no formal housing on campus, but the University does offer a limited housing program. Just two miles from campus, the university has 23 units with approximately 80 students living in an apartment complex. According to Susan E. Mitchell, Dean of Students and Lifelong Learning Services, planning housing on campus is a long process and requires a sufficient amount of research, if it is to serve its purpose "aiding in student success." Meeting students' needs f or on-campus housing i s a long process. In order to obtain campus housing there must be enough student interest, a place to build housing and ability to be self-supporting. There must be enough students paying rent in order for the campus to maintain the property without having to take money f rom other departments. This does not mean that housing will be overly expensive, but that the campus must find a contractor who is capable and reasonably priced. The campus is currently awaiting bids to have housing built at little or ^ o upfront cost, under a Private Public Partnership. In return, the campus must guarantee that enough students will live in the housing to repay the contractors for their services. P RIDE STAFF WRITER Founding faculty member Bernard Hinton celebrated 10 years of service to the CSUSM community on Friday, November 19. A catered luncheon, white linens, and bougainvillea decked the Dome patio in honor of "Bernie," one of the first founding faculty members to retire from this university. Nearly 100 people attended the celebration. Hinton's long service to CSU San Marcos was honored with speeches and g ifts. Speakers were Regina Eisenbach, Beverlee Andersen, President Gonzalez, and others. Eisenbach said that "Bernie's the reason" she works at CSUSM; Andersen gently "roasted" Hinton with a poem she wrote; and President Gonzalez noted that when he arrived at the university "everyone here knew Bernie Hinton." Hinton was presented with an engraved clock and a memory album filled with personal reflections during the course of the two-hour long event. Hinton served in several capacities during the past 10 years. He began as Professor of Management in the College of Business, and holds that title as he retires; he was Special Assistant to President Bill Stacy; and he held the position of Director of Center for DecisionMaking. On a more personal note, Hinton is responsible f or the scarlet mounds of bougainvillea that adorn the hillsides around the university. An accomplished gardener, Hinton originally wanted roses planted, but chose the brilliant vine instead, due to costs. Bernie Hinton officially leaves his position on January 31, 2000.

The scholarship i s in honor of Bree Tinney, a transfer student who was one of the first Women's Studies majors at CSUSM. In addition t6 being one of the pioneering students for Women's Studies, Tinney also worked f or the University's library. Pat Worden, who has played a principal role in handling the Memorial Auction in past years and in the present, knew Tinney when she j oined the quilting group at CSUSM. Worden said Tinney had transferred to CSUSM around 1992, but was diagnosed with breast cancer and passed away in the fall of 1993. Joan Gundersen, a past director of the Women's Studies Department, began the Memorial Auction around 1994. Gundersen believed Tinney was a f ine example of a Women's Studies student and named the Memorial Scholarship on her behalf. Pat Worden says that when the auction first began, the collection of auction items and bidding were all done by e-mail. Now, however, donations and bidding all take place on the web. "The thing we work hardest at is encouraging people to donate for the auction," says Worden. "There's always tremendous enthusiasm f or the items." She encourages the CSUSM community to send contributions for the auction so there will be more items to bid on. "Anyone can contribute," adds Worden. And anyone can bid, too. "What's f un is watching the bidding wars take place," says Worden. The bids will be accepted starting Monday, December 6 at noon until Thursday, December 16 at noon online at: http://www.csusm.edu/auction. Auction contributions are being accepted now. To contribute items or services contact Eugenia Villamarin at eugenia@mailhostl.csusm.edu or at Craven Hall 1222, extension 4826. Items may also be donated by visiting the? Bree Tinney Memorial Auction web page. The auction items will be on display in the library beginning November 29 through December 17. For additional information on the auction or to place bids on items (starting December 6) visit the Bree Tinney Memorial Auction web page at: http://www.csusm.edu/auction. World AIDS Day will be celebrated at CSUSM on Wednesday, December 1. The Peer Education and Support Program, a campus club affiliated with Counseling and Psychological Services, will be sponsoring the events of the day. Chandra Osborn, Peer Educator, is the Chair of the event. In hopes to promote attention f or AIDS Awareness Week, CSUSM lias lined up the following events: On Dec. 1 speakers who are HIV positive will be coming to the University Bldg, Room #101 at 1:00pm until 3:00pm to discuss their own experiences to help raise students' awareness Mid provide/educational materials, This event is open to all members of the CSUSM community (students, faculty, staff). Additionally, panels from the AIDS Quilt Project will be displayed on campus also on Wednesday, December 1. These panels (12 feet x 12 feet) are made from individual squares — each square made by someone who has been impacted by HIV/AIDS (e.g., some squares are made by surviving family members, partners, co-workers). "Make-A-Memory" fabric and materials will be available on Wednesday, December 1 (9:00am - 2:00pm) at the tables in Founder's Plaza for those in the CSUSM community who wish to make a square for someone impacted by HIV/AIDS whom they have known. According to Dr. Michelle Boutte Burke, faculty advisor for C SUSM's Peer Education Support Group, red ribbons are currently being given out in support of AIDS Awareness Week. They are available at Counseling and Psychological Services located at the Palomar/Pomerado Health Services Bldg. Suite 100, or at her office in Craven #4110. She stresses that this is a very important event for our campus. Dr. Boutte Burke says that oral testing f or AIDS and counseling services will resume at PPHS as early as next semester when they are able to have enough available staff to meet the c ampus' needs. She and Reina Abeyta, LVN at health services will be attending special training classes in December and January through the California AIDS Coalition that will enable In recent months the media them to provide pre- and postcoverage on AIDS has been less- counseling services f or AIDS ening, „ perhaps due t o the testing at this location.

See AIDS pg. 4 �DEAR EDITORS: REACTION TO ALICIA'S LETTER I am normally not too shaken up by the little organizational setups, rallies, booths, and so forth that plague our campus and my trek from class to class, but last week I was particularly disturbed. "National Smokeout Day".* ? Pfft,_give me a break! "Quit smoking for one day." Ha! Quitting for one day would just force you to make it up the next day, and besides, if you're a young smoker now is the best time to start! I do empathize for older smokers who are doomed to a life of smoking out of a hole in their neck, but the newest generation of smokers will not have to suffer the same fate. In ten to twenty years cybernetic lungs will flood our hospitals reaffirming our faith in nicotine, the wonder drug. Instead of smear ads, health organizations will be fighting for media airtime to PROMOTE smoking. They'll want to sell their cybernetic lungs, not only for the tidy profit, but because these "cyberlungs" will actually IMPROVE respiration. Metaphorically speaking, we'll be putting our butts out on Mother Nature's poorly crafted invention. And to those behind "National Smokeout Day" (PEAS), I will have to humbly decline. You had your heart in the right place, but perhaps your little rally would be better setup in a retirement home. Personally,I'd like to be first on the list to get my new cybernetic lung. They aren't going to give them out to just anyone, you know. Only the hardworking smokers who've made the tobacco industry what it is today will benefit from improved respiration. So go buy a pack, hell, buy a carton, it'll pay off before you know it. Anyway, I've got a cigarette to smoke.. It's a long smoky road to that "cyberlung," but well worth it. . I find it very disturbing as a student of this university that people feel the need to point fingers of blame especially when individuals don't know all of the facts. Students at this university are .usually very unaware of the occurrences within many of the departments of this campus community, so how can the students blame the administration? As the readers of the PRIDE we must assume that we are not given all of the information. We know that for the first article regarding the faucets, we were only given one side of the story. The retraction gave another side of the story. As adults we can make our own assumptions at that point but we will never know all of the facts. By bringing this issue up again we are just building on a dead issue. I think everyone should take this as a learning experience and walk away. Always remember there are two sides of a story but we will never know the truth because we aren't there to experience it; Respectfully, Upset Smoker DEAR EDITORS: Recently, I read that World AIDS Day will be celebrated on our small, San Marcos campus. Speakers will share their stories with students; free condoms and information will be passed out; panels of the AIDS quilt will be displayed. If World AIDS Day is being given such a prominent place on our campus, why was Veteran's Day not even mentioned. Some may argue that AIDS is an issue affecting today, a thing of now, that Veteran's Day does not affect us. However, Veteran's Day is a day that should be taken seriously. For it is more than just a federal holiday where mail delivery ceases and government employees take the day off. i t is a day to remember the hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers who fought and died valiantly for the freedom that we too often take for granted. As young citizens of this great country, we need to be reminded of what men and women have gone through to protect what rightfully belongs to every man, woman or child. Freedom comes at great cost. We need to be reminded how precious freedom is, and how great that cost. To people who think Veteran's Day is little more than an excuse to take off work, talk to men like the one I know who still experiences pain from the shrapnel left in his body from his days in Vietnam; talk to men like Senator John McCain who spent years in enemy prisoner camps; talk to men like my friend's grandfather who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, surviving to tell of the hoirific massacre laying before them in the blood stained sand. That blood is the heroic mark of those who died To dismiss thendeath is a tragedy. Because for every breath lost, every life killed in the ugly reality of war, the freedom of so many more was ensured. Every man and woman, dead or alive, who is a veteran of this country's armed services, deserves our utmost honor, dignity, and respect. It was wrong and inexcusable for the administration to overlook the importance of Veteran's Day. It is time to do more than what is politically correct and do what is right. Joshua Stacey DEAR EDITORS: I wish to make a comment regarding the article on the Great American Smokeout. I have great reservations regarding the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society ACS) on the death attributed to smoking whereby it stated that cigarettes kill more Americans than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, drugs and fires combined. Thirty percent of the US pollution smokes. Sooner or later, just like everyone else, this group of people will die. So I guess one might say that among those who died thirty percent smoked which gave credence to the ACS statistics. Don't get me wrong. I think the Great American Smokeout is for a good cause. I smoked for over twenty years and quit cold turkey. It was not easy. Surprisingly, there are no known effective programs for people who wish to quit smoking. Unlike the alcohol and drug r ehab' programs whereby the patient is admitted into a clinic for a week or so under clinical supervision, the stop-smoking programs available on the other hand consist o£a lecture, interaction among fellow smokers, and handed a bunch of anti-smoking pamphlets all in a day. Then they are left to fend for themselves - no counseling for members of the family. Just left to climb the walls. Its tougher to quit smoking than to quit drugs or alcohol. No drugs but I was an alcohol abuser. Where are the treatment centers? AYN RAND REVISITED BY CSUSM STUDENT GOVERNMENT Joel A. Montes Ayn Rand was a controversial person. Her harshest critics characterized her work as being a form of philosophical plagiarism, while other critics have claimed her views were not unique, but instead were a rehash of older philosophical works. These critics have gone so far as to state that she was nothing less than an insecure female in a male dominated world, thus her emphasis on "self-interest." Rand's critics would lead people to believe that her followers are a bunch of insecure crackpots with serious psychological and emotional problems. Nevertheless, Rand attracted an interesting 'lot' and there still exists a group of followers. Alan Greenspan was a former "groupie." .~ A fair assessment of Rand's work would be to say that her writings are an introduction to philosophy and critical thinking. What strikes me about her quasi-philosophical views is what I consider a most unique phrase to describe a human being. In her subtle reactionary mode, Rand says, "The individual is the smallest minority." A profound thought in a society that emphasizes groups, class, and generalizations! CSUSM's student body and the ICC have carried Rand's view in their administrative authority to disburse student finances by awarding individual students money to finance their classroom projects. Although it appears like a form of "nepotism" in that the latest two individuals just happen to be BOD members, it nonetheless provides great opportunities for extreme individualists like myself. Those of you who walk with only your shadow can, with an academic purpose in mind, receive funding for what may be unending reasons. For example, if you're short on cash during "rush week" you can ask the ICC for money to pay for your books. If you have to go on a field trip for a research paper,-say..: • L.A.'s MOCA, you can ask for money to pay for gas, food, admission, and books or articles relating to the specific exhibition, etc. Maybe you "need" to go to a business conference, but you can't afford it. ICC will pay for your transportation costs, hotel and incidentals for attending this academic event. What is great about this is that you don't have to waste your time in meetings. Ideological differences, are also an unnecessary worry amid the smiling and shaking of hands. Just go one week before to the ICC meeting to get on the agenda for the following week tRobert's Rules of Ordet stuff) and state your purpose. The next week, be sure you have a good presentation, supporting documents to demonstrate the academic relevance of your request, or receipts for a retroactive fund. "Individuals" should take full advantage of these resources while they are available, especially if you don't fit into a peg. With student government members giving themselves Christmas bonuses for organizing barbecues throughout the semester, there is no reason why you should be denied. As long as you keep an academic purpose in mind, and contribute to student government through tuition fees and a future degree benefiting all of society, you deserve the money. CSUSM Student Body Government, although a faceless institution, does provide "individuals" an opportunity to contribute to CSUSM diversity which makes them paradoxically rather unique. Further, I believe that alcohol is a much more damaging addiction than tobacco yet I don't hear of any sustained, concerted effort by any group, government or private, to campaign with equal vigor against the alcohol industry. On the contrary they make it so that drinking seems glamorous, advertising beer as refreshment. One can get "snockered" with beer as bad as liquor or wine. By the way, it is now advertised that drinking wine is healthy. Try driving down the freeways after consuming a bottle of Thunderbird. I don't condone smoking. I hate smoke specially as an ex-smoker. However, I have not heard of any case involving domestic violence, assaults, or vehicular accidents, DUIS (driving under the influence of smoking) as the direct result of smoking. But refresh yourself with a six pack of beer and the outcome could be different. And where are the millions of dollars collected from the tobacco industry for the purpose of curbing smoking for a healthier lifestyle ending up? Not only has the skyrocketing cost of cigarette started an old age profession (smuggling) but statistically, the levies and fines produced no significant result in reducing consumption. Thirty percent of the population still smokes. More young adults smoke now than ever before. The high cost of cigarettes ($30.00 per carton) did not discourage smoking. On the other hand, it caused more financial burden particularly for multiple smoker families. I suggest the following; In addition to education, the moneys generated from the lawsuits against the tobacco industry should be used to establish a comprehensive antismoking rehab program, paid by the health insurance, whereby an individual who wishes to quit smoking, is admitted into a clinic and given treatment and released with some expectancy of staying smoke free, plus provided with the opportunity for follow up. Further, I suggest that there should be an equally sustained campaign, including fines, lawsuits, bad publicity and all against the use of alcohol. Most alcoholics are smokers. Cure the alcoholism and you cure smoking.

Her debut album Let There Be Eve., covers topics that any girl growing up in the "hood" can relate to. She covers everything from being down for your man in "Gotta Man" to having your girls back in "Love is Blind" and "My B***." For those of you struggling through hard times and hard choices, her cut entitled "Heaven Only Knows" will help you see the light at the end of the tunnel. A word of caution for those who have sensitive ears and c an't get past the word "nigga" or foul language, this CD probably isn't for you.

The open forum, attended by 27 people, was thefirstof three open forums that will be hosted by Associated Students, Inc. (ASI). ASI President, Manal Yamout, asked Haynes for an update on the situation. Haynes stated that the university is working to put an ad hoc task force in place to review campus policing practices, and has hired an external investigator to investigate the formal complaint filed by Williams against campus police.

CSUSM students give back Different opportunities around campus to donate this holiday season BY TIFFANY LIU Pride Staff Writer Despite the stress the holiday season can bring, for many this time of year is also a time of giving and sharing. Several CSUSM organizations are reaching out this season to help those in need. Currently, CSUSM's College Republicans are conducting Operation Donation. Operation Donation is a holiday drive to support wounded soldiers from Camp Pendleton who are arriving at military hospitals. The goal of the drive is helping soldiers through recovery and giving back to the men and women who have risked their lives for our country. Donation items can be dropped off at Craven 4116 until December 23. Suggested donation items are: nonperishable foods, DVD's, batteries, phone cards, books, magazines, Game Boys, Domino's Pizza gift certificates, towels, wash cloths and any hygiene supplies. CSUSM Academic technology services is currently holding the annual Bree Tinney auction in order to raise money for the Bree Tinney memorial scholarship. Items donated are auctioned off to raise money. The money goes to fund scholarships that are not endowed with enough funds. The auction runs until 12 p.m. on December 9 and can be accessed at http://www.csusm. vol.xiino.13 TUESDAY, N OVEMBER 3 0,2004 The facts about arrests on campus BY WILL LEMON Pride Staff Writer During the latest wave of protests on campus, demonstrators continued to claim racial profiling in the CSUSM police department, often citing arrest information printed in the San Diego Union-Tribune in comparison with CSUSM enrollment data available on the schools website. Using data provided by the campus police department and campus registration information, the Pride has the figures for your comparison. The arrest data cited in the Tribune said that "out of 174 arrests on campus since 2000, more than half arrested were white, 35 percent Hispanic and 5.7 percent AfricanAmerican." This information mirrors the summary percentages provided by the campus police. Further examination of the police data shows a sharp rise in arrests in the 2003-2004 year. Between 2000-2003, the CSUSM police department made a total of 59 arrests. From Nov. 2003 to Nov.2004 the CSUSM police department made 115 arrests, nearly twice the amount of arrests made in the previous three years. "The number of arrests has significantly risen since the opening of the Resident hall on campus," remarked CSUSM Police Lt. Doug Miller at the data. Data from November 4 2003November 4 2004 shows that whites comprised approximately 52.5 % of the student population and 51.3 % of the arrests.

During the same time period Hispanics comprised approximately 19.2% of the student population and 34.8 % of arrests. African-Americans comprised 2.8% of those enrolled and 7.8% of the arrests on campus. "We come in contact not just with students but also with members of thé local community," said Lt. Miller in response to questions about the racial/ethnic makeup of arrests by the CSUSM police department. Miller said that the racial/ethnic make-up of campus police arrests were fairly close to the racial/ethnic make-up of the community. Registration statistics about race/ethnicity are derived from information gained at the time of enrollment, where a student self selects their racial/ethnic background. According to Miller arrest racial/ethnic information is obtained by officers selecting a category after asking the suspect their racial/ ethnic background. Note: Police data categories were White, Hispanic, Black, Asian, Asian- Indian, and Hawaiian. FORUM, from page 1 reduce the charges against Jason Williams," said Haynes. Haynes also stated that if the external investigator were to uncover a problem with a particular officer or officers practicing racial profiling on campus, "An officer could be let go." Other students expressed concern that students might be hesitant to file a formal complaint against the police, since the form has to be obtained from and submitted to the police. Leonard characterized the process as "unsafe" and "intimidating."

For comparison purposes police data categories of Asian-Indian and Hawaiian were grouped under 'Asian/ Pacific Islander'; plaints need not be signed. "They (the police) can investigate an unsigned complaint," Haynes said. A review by The Pride of the campus police web site found only an email comment form—not the formal complaint form—was available on line. When asked by student Steven Zamora if she felt that "aggressive policing" was better than community based policing for our campus, Haynes wasn't willing to sanction the use of the term "aggressive" in relation to campus policing methods. "I'm not willing to say that all of our policing and methods are not appropriate," said Haynes. Haynes explained that the task cans of food were donated.

They could be white. Or black. Or brown. Male or female. Blond or brunette. Student, faculty, or staff. Seventeen or twenty-eight or fifty-two. They might know they're infected. They might not. It could be the person sitting next to you, or the one sipping a latté at Kellogg Café right now. You would never know by looking at them that they carry the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, a virus that ravages the host's immune system. When the immune system can't fight off even the lowliest of infections anymore—bugs that live all around us all the time that a healthy immune systemfightsoff easily—the disease is reclassified by the acronym AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV is transmissible via straight sex, anal sex, oral sex, needle sharing and blood transfusion. Wednesday December 1 is World AIDS Day. It will receive a short mention in the local paper and on the evening news, but this article and an HIV/AIDS information booth planned by Student Health Services on Kellogg Plaza from 10:30 to 2:30p.m. will be the only acknowledgement on the CSUSM campus of the global pandemic that is infecting six new people in San Diego County every day. Eleven campus student organizations were contacted by The Pride-American Indian the red ribbon is for any more, and celebrities haven't worn them on the red carpet in years. But AIDS is alive and well in San Diego County.

The book was released in September but I have anticipated reading this collection of memoirs since the Lakers lost to the Pistons in the NBA Finals in June. The book is Phil Jackson's journal that he kept over a year's time. It starts with his first entry coming on July 11,2003 as he is heading to his home in Montana. He talks about the annual spiritual journey that he Wfcat is about to embark on in order to get away from the hectic NBA life that he leads. In this first entry he writes about his excitement when he receives word that the Lakers are about to sign Gary Payton and Karl Malone. Not much longer into this entry he writes about a conversation with Mitch Kupchak, the Lakers General Manager, regarding the news of Kobe Bryant and the accusations that Kobe raped a young woman. With that first entry you see that there is going to be a roller coaster of emotions throughout the book. With so many different events that occurred during his tenure as coach of the Lakers, Phil had plenty to write about in his journal and he certainly wasn't worried about offending people. The book is organized into twelve chap- if F m pre^wfl^ • v. * 'I m a k e i nformed, h ealth _ a » JSll c onfident c hoices 277 S* R a n c h o S a n t a H H H l San Marcas, i more info? birthchoice.net llgianswers, real help ters with each one containing different insights into what really happened behind the scenes of the Lakers dynasty. One of the major topics in the book is the personality conflict and fight for power between Kobe and Shaq in which Phil reveals just how childish their squabbles were. Another topic that comes up quite often is his analysis of his relationship with Kobe Bryant and the tension that resides with the two of them. Phil also discusses many controversial topics that involve the NBA and where he thinks the state of the game is going. However, throughout the whole book he primarily tries to focus on what happened during last season. Phil constantly discusses the slow implosion of his team as they gradually fall apart whether it be by injury, lack of effort, or out of spite for one another. He continually writes about the different methods he attempts in order to get his team to play together. He tries reverse psychology telling his team they can't do something, automatically making them want to prove him wrong; he tries guilt by making them feel like he is let down by their performance; he tries meditation making them focus on being a team rather than a bunch of individuals. However, with all of his work trying to get them to act like a team I found it funny that when Phil refers to the his team he doesn't use unifying words such as "Us" or "We", he always refers to them as "The Lakers", creating a separation from them which in my mind doesn't say much about him trying to create a team atmosphere. In chapters eight through eleven Phil writes in his journal during the playoffs. When reading these chapters I couldn't Photo courtesy of The Penguin Press help but think to myself, why is he writing in his journal during this time when every second of his time should be devoted to practicing, studying, preparing or something to help his team advance in the playoffs. Then as I continued to read on he quickly answered my question as he soon details that practice won't help his team due to their own individualistic attitudes. Not even Phil Jackson was able to find an answer for the Lakers which definitely tells you something when you consider he is one of the greatest coaches to ever walk court side. I recommend this book to you as it is one of the best sports books I have read and it will certainly give you a greater admiration for your family or coworkers.

Dreams of being a Polynesian/Jewish Whitney Houston have eluded me, leaving me in the outskirts of my hometown of Oceanside, singing in filthy bars to a group of howling friends, egging me on to do The Robot. Karaoke is this sick fetish for those inclined to pretend they are a superstar. Freaks, weirdoes, and Michelles alike can all be found at these places of prestige. The Alley. Smitty's. Coyote Bar and Grill. Heck, come on over to my house and bring your favorite CDs. Let's make a night out of it. I recall a semester or so ago there was a fraternity or sorority something on campus that had an open karaoke barbeque. Pure genius. There was a young man who sang his heart out. He had no crowd to cheer him on, no beer obviously, and yet he was this karaoke sprite, asking for nothing but a chance to finish his song. People walked by, ignoring the fact that the young man was flexing his "hip-to-be-square" mentality. You want to talk about the right to be heard? A right to information? Students that night had a right to know who the campus idiots were. Had I known this function was going on, I would've changed my schedule to be a part of CSUSM karaoke barbeque/mixer something history. My life is full of books and serving overpriced coffee. Sometimes a girl like me needs an outlet. A release. A form of expression. Chasing around older men gets, well, old. If Karaoke is a sport, these are the rules: two teams. One team is the group of individuals who are most definitely feeling the funk, that is, spirited, a.k.a. drunk. These people take to the stage and are dead serious. Some have flunked out of the church choir, are actual singers whose careers have taken a detour, or have what I like to call "shower time talent," looking for a contract. The second team is the team I currently play for. Strictly for laughs. Oh, but the game face must be on. Your friends know you're joking, but the crowd has to really believe it and feel it. There is one catch if this is to be Extreme Karaoke. You must do it stone sober. Otherwise, you may take it too seriously which could take you out of the game or you may be possibly swapped for a player from the first team. Savvy? This is definitely not to say that you can't baby-sit a cold one all night, but you have to be ready for game time. No slurring, just ultimate Karaoke. I take this game seriously. Just like professional bowlers have their own balls, I have my signature song, "Superfreak," by the late great Rick James. I've done that song in addition to my own intergalactic planetary robotic seizure dance. The crowd loves it and I'm sure Mr. James would too. I have the intention to go to the sleaziest Karaoke bars in North County and work my way down to the famous Piano Bar that was in the movie Top Gun. I hope that on a Friday night, you shake off that odd little nugget called self-respect and join in on the healthy destruction of some really good songs. Anyone who wants a challenge, just bring it unless I've met you and it's already been brought. Oh yeah, baby. I've got big dreams for Extreme Karaoke. Big dreams.

I know I have done it countless times and I'm Is it me or is it hard to stay focused late into the semester? Throughout my college career I have found it hard to stay focused as the semester goes on and on and. No matter what semester it is, spring or fall, I always find a way to hit "the wall."

Eventually I learn how my professors and classes operate then my mind works in a different less efficient way. Instead of doing sure some you have too. I have some tips to help with things the easy way, Ifindways to make the classes and the semester staying focused and to get a lot harder. I see if attendance is through the semester. I am no not an expert at this a mandatory type of thing and if the lectures are helpful.

When I called the Student Technology Help Desk and asked how many Mini DV Cameras they had total, the response was 11, and that they believed four had permanently been checked out by professors which brings us down to the whopping grand total of seven Mini DV Cameras. These seven cameras are fair game; they are free for any student on the CSUSM campus to check out just like books, and you are also allowed to re-check out these cameras upon returning them. I find it hard to believe that seven Mini DV Cameras are enough to support the Comm majors enrolled in these new classes. The projects in these new classes are film projects, which require the use of a video camera. If you don't have a friend who'll let you borrow his or her video camera and your attempts to check one out from the Student Technology Help Desk were unsuccessful you're screwed. So Comm majors get ready to ask for some extensions because there is a very good chance you are going to need them. Dear Editor, I wanted to respond to the people who wrote the editorials regarding graffiti. It appears I was the only one who wrote in that was for the graffiti. They argued against it because it was abusing the idea of free speech and because the offenders were spreading lies. Well I still feel the way I did before regarding the action but my new problem is with this idea of lies. Who cares if they spread lies? Who is so foolish that they trust chalk on the ground? The problem is not with the people who spread the lies but with people that believe the lies. Of course, a group is going to bend the truth to get their way this should be apparent to every breathing person. It is up to the individual to be critical of all they are told. I am tired of the lazy attitude people have on thinking for themselves. They want to live cycles of working, sleeping, and watching television. They want to use as little of their brain as possible throughout the day. This is why most people voted for Bush because they want someone to lead their government and their life. It reminds me of the period following the First World War when people became so disillusioned with the idea of reason and science they looked for Nietzsche's Superman to come and lead them. This of course led to such great (sarcasm) leaders as Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler. Nowadays people have again become disillusioned with the ideas of critical thought, reason, and the individual. Therefore, they again are looking for a superman to come and lead them to some kind of glory and are it not funny that the citizens of America chose George W. Bush to be their superman. Since the election for Pope of the United States, I have begun to ask myself many questions. Has the world I live in always been this sheepish and afraid and I have only come to realize it now? Or is it a recent change? Is this the third great awakening or worse, the predawn to the Orwellian life of 1984? I personally have given up on you my fellow man and our society in a whole but I do wish you good luck in deciding what I should think and what I should believe. Post Script: Why is it that our school is like Saved by the Bell? What I mean is that it is the same 10 cast members our in every aspect of our campus life (ASI, PAN, Pride, Etc...). I even heard that Zack Morris (Erik Roper) was gone yet he still gets the number one spot on the editorial page. We students, who do not care about these same 10 peoples lives, need to write in more and demand something different. Sincerely, Weston Rogers Senior, History major, and a member of the Depopulation Cooperative. I am writing to you about the current issues surrounding the so called "moral values" and the "sanctity of marriage". My 72 year old father recently went to Russia and brought back a young woman to marry, the same age as his children. Our society will let any combination of a man and a woman get married regardless of its moral values; yet, they will not allow homosexuals to share in the financial, emotional, and committed benefits of marriage. Homosexuality should be treated as any other minority in the United States. For some reason our society can not look past their heterocentric views and extend the rights to homosexuals that are extended the rest of the society. Not long ago there were miscegenation laws prohibiting marriage between members of different races. Did the world stop spinning when those laws were changed? No; and, the world will not stop spinning if they allow homosexuals to marry either. In a sense, what the American society is doing by discriminating against this misrepresented group of people is itself a form of a hate crime. I find it very disturbing how many religious sectors of our society get to make the rules that affect the lives of those not belonging to their congregations. Whatever happened to the separation of church and state? Why can't our society let homosexuals attain the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that their heterosexual counterparts are allowed to pursue? Why do they allow marriages like my father's to be validated and not the unions of the loving relationships of millions of American citizens, your brothers, your sisters, your aunts, your uncles, your sons, and your daughters..., who happen to be homosexual? It is not time that changes things, it is people that change things. Ann Kirkendall Senior, Liberal Studies major Regarding the recent storming of President Haynes' office on November 10,1 have one question: don't you all have anything better to do? President Haynes has to run this campus, she shouldn't have to waste her time on matters like this. Instead of thinking up new schemes to grab attention, maybe you should focus on encouraging the wronged student to exhaust all the correct channels before interrupting the president. Was the affected young man even present in the storming of the president's office? The whole event reeks of 'publicity stunt' rather than 'truly concerned'. On another note...last Thursday there was a Veteran's Day ceremony held at CSUSM which was attended by numerous students, faculty, and family members. The event spotlighted the current reserve and active duty military members who are students among you, several who are veterans of the war in Iraq. Regardless of one's views on our current administration or the war in Iraq, respect for those who have died in past wars should not be a fad. Not even one article in the Pride was devoted to the Veteran's Day ceremony. What was the Pride afraid of? What really bothers me is how many students who don't support our veterans took advantage of the free BBQ given out after the ceremony.

J. M. Barrie's (Johnny Depp) play is bombing miserably on opening night, and we soon learn his marriage isn't faring any better. Barrie heads off to the park the next morning with his gargantuan dog, looking for inspiration for his next tour de force, when serendipity brings him and the widow Sylvia Llewellyn Davies (Kate Winslet) and her family together. Davies has four young sons with whom Barrie has more in common than any of his contemporaries, and with Barrie's imagination and the boys' willingness to suspend disbelief, they set out on all sorts of fantastical imaginary adventures. Davies' son Peter (Freddie Highmore) lends his name to the boy who never grows up, and several moments in the film foreshadow other moments and characters that will make their way into Barrie's script for "Peter Pan." Johnny Depp is exquisite as ever, and his Scottish brogue is sweeter than Sean Connery's real one. Kate Winslet plays Davies to tear-jerking perfection, and outstanding support is given by Julie Christie as Davies' mother, and Dustin Hoffman as J. M. Barrie's patient theatrical producer. Director Marc Forester ("Monster's Ball") brings the lushness of Edwardian London Photos courtesy of Film Colony Production / The Pride to the screen, and elicits outstanding performances not only from his cast of awardwinners, but from the children, as well. Especially remarkable is young Highmore as Peter, who mesmerizes with his performance. As J. M. Barrie once said, "Young boys should never go to bed. They wake up a day older, and before you know it, they're grown." Go see "Finding Neverland" and you'll never want to go to bed, either (and not just because it's finals week). A little too shady It s time to get over Kim BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer Eminem's latest CD, "Encore" fails to impress me after building his career on controversial lyrics. On Eminem's 4th release his lyrics just sound goofy. "Cause I'm what you wanna be/ So you just look like an idiot/ When you say these mean things cause it's so easy to see/ You're really just a big weenie (big weenie)." It's hard pulling up next to somebody on the road and bumping music like this. I'm not afraid to admit I used to listen to Eminem when he first came into the game with the "Marshall Mathers LP." However, after I listened to "Encore," I felt myself wanting to hear something new. He needed to take new strides in rapping with fresh material. "You are the ink to my paper/What my pen is to my pad/The moral, the very fiber, the whole substance of my rap." I wish I could tell him he needs to get over Kim, who is a prime target in many of his songs, and WW realize there are plenty of other females in the world. It seems like everyday he changes from hating her to loving her. He also needs to stop rapping about the "8 mile." I think by this point, after many CD's and a featured movie, we know that Eminem grew up in Detroit's ghetto, with a dysfunctional family. What Eminem is original in is that he has become very apologetic in his later years. Instead of creating beef, which is why he is famous, he apologizes to everyone from Christopher Reeves to Photos courtesy of Shady Records Ja Rule and Benzino. His songs are a lot better when he, excuse my language, starts shit with people. I don't really dig seeing Eminem's emotional side. Where this CD excels and becomes somewhat worthy is that many of the beats produced by Dr. Dre, Em's mentor, come off really strong. Songs like "Rain Man," "Mosh" and "Never Enough" all have that million dollar touch that Dr. Dre knows how to produce. Maybe it's because I'm a few years older than when I first listened to Eminem, but I can't groove with what he says anymore. I'm not a hater though. I have to give props to any thirty-twoyear-old rapper that can still make lyrics and beats from belches, farts, vomiting, and diarrhea. At the end of the day it's all about how you pay your bills, and I'm sure Eminem's "Encore" will more than help him with that task. so-so DECENT GREAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

University Village students dinedly affected by widfires Massive Campus Clean Up By ADRIAN OJNDIFF Pride StaflfWriter Fires devastate San Diego County sending a snowstorm of ashes and smoke into the air that consumed everything. The fires directly or indirectly affected all students living on campus. Many students who live on campus complained about problems relating to breathing due to the large cloud of smoke that hovered over the campus all week. Others got sick and complained about havingflu-likesymptoms. Not only was the campus closed for students who live off campus but also for students who live on campus as well. Students who live on campus were not able to use the computer lab, study or do research in the library, or workout in the gym for one week. The air quality around campus caused one student to have an asthma attack that sent her to the emergency room last Monday. Olivia Roldan, Liberal Studies major, said that her limbs got numb and as she waited in the emergency room her hand got paralyzed as she checked in. Roldan lives on campus and according to her the smoke was unbearable. The smoke around campus caused her asthma to act up even though her seasonal See STUDENTS, page 2 By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Editor in Chief Last week the San Diego County wildfires engulfed Cal State San Marcos with unhealthy air and spread soot and ash all over the campus. Although President McTarnaghan closed the campus to students, faculty and administrators, Facility Services were on hand cleaning up the campus and replacing air filters in all the buildings to ensure the campus would be safe for classes to resume on Nov. 3. In response to the hazardous atmosphere surrounding the campus, Facility Services spent Friday changing all the airfiltersin each building. "We're taking preventative measures by changing all the airfiltersin the buildings," said Chuck Walden, Director of Facility Services. Although there was no testing done inside each building to determine how much unhealthy pollution there was, new filters were ordered and replaced as preventative maintenance. Steve Holbrook of Facility Services said, "We're staying ahead of the game before people become affected." The buildings on campus each have an air-handling room where outside air is sucked in and distributed through the air conditioning system. Filters are used on the outside See CLEAN UP, page 2 V OL.XI N O. 8 Photo By Adrian Cundiff/The Pride McTarnaghan closes CSUSM for a week By JONATHAN RODLEY Pride StaflfWriter Students and faculty at CSUSM spent time away from school last week after Interim President Roy McTarnaghan cancelled classes due to thefiresraging through San Diego County. McTarnaghan closed the campus last week after emergency services requested roads be kept clear and because of poor air quality at CSUSM. As a result of the polluted air, more time was needed to replace airfiltersfor air conditioning systems. The call to close the campus came after Chancellor Charles Reed of the California . State University (CSU) system advised McTarnaghan last week. Faculty and staff are determining the effects of the closure and how to fix any problems. Except for essential personnel such as police and facilities crew, the closure barred students and stafffromentering the campus. "The major effect is how we will make up a week—that is the big question," said Rick Moore, CSUSM director of communications. On Sunday night McTarnaghan decided to close the campus and planned Monday to assess reopening the See CLOSURE, page 2 �Editorial S taff \ S taff W riters Bditor-inHChksf K Alex Rosalino Chad Spinks Danielle Boldt Elizabeth Baldwin Co-Editor Jonathan Rodley Design Be Photo Editor PIDi Pf- iapr l l y p - x; l*unû F Scripps Doug ILasater Kristin Rees Assistant Design Mark Ferrera Editor Roberto Fella >: RMelissa ; odriguez News Editor Michael Dolan Sarah Carlia ; Features Editor Michelle Wills Lisa Qeorgife Nicole Sullivan A&E Editor Katie Sammons j R ^an l^fecifc g!

We never expected what was to come of the day. My parents and I woke up early to wrap gifts, decorate and set up the tables in the back yard for the lunch mom was preparing for our guests. It was a hot day, outside the air smelled of smoke, and ashes were falling on our tables like snow. Every television channel was broadcasting the destruction wildfires were causing all over San Diego County. Guests would be arriving from all over Southern California and we worried that we had invited them to Hell. Hopefully no one would put themselves in danger to come to our house. Hopefully everyone we knew would be safe. Hopefully this was all a bad dream. Hopefully it would all be over soon. Everyone we were expecting showed up. I turned off the TV and for the next few hours focused on family and friends and the celebration for my yet unborn niece. At lunch we joked that the ash falling into our sodas was good for us. Doesn't carbon absorb toxins in the body? Once most of the guests were gone I went upstairs to my room and looked out the window. It was dark and I could clearly seeflamesburning over the second hillside to our east. I learned later this was the Valley Center fire which was less than th m eight miles away from us. "Papi, ven aca," I called my dad upstairs, but my anxious voice alerted my mom that she should come too. The fires we had spent all day ignoring were now very real. Quickly we decided it was time to get packing. Important papers, pictures, heirlooms, treasured gifts, clothes, essential toiletries, my dog's food and leash, the computer tower, anything we could think of that we considered irreplaceable or essential was thrown in laundry baskets and suitcases and piled in the living room. Finally, exhausted and mesmerized by the news reports, we went to sleep, thinking we would need all the rest we could get in case we had to evacuate at some time during the night. I woke up often to look out the window, but theflamesnever came closer No fireman ever came to knock on our door. No evacuation notice was announced for our street. We were safe. We were lucky, during the night the winds shifted to the east and away from us. Some of our things still sit on the living room floor as we are a little afraid to put them away. However, these things no longer seem as important as they did that night. They are just things. It is the people who are suffering from great losses that are in my heart now. They are important, essential and irreplaceable unlike the things on the living room floor. You and me and everyone we know, everyone that lives here in San Diego, everyone that lives in our world. They are what really matters. G EICO is seeking a new generation of top management professionals to maintain our c ompany's f orward m omentum.

M l « TteUrnv^^ — i Support available for students By LISA GEORGE Pride Features Editor The aftermath of an unexpected tragedy brings many needs and concerns. In the midst of the chaos it is important to discuss personal reactions, strengthen friendships we have and reach out to those in need. One psychological side effect of tragedies is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. PTSD is a psychological disorder affecting those who have experienced or witnessed a major trauma. The symptoms of PTSD include nightmares, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, forgetfulness, and social withdrawal. If you experience feelings of anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal CAPS is here to help. CAPS is the Counseling and Psychological Services at Cal State San Marcos. They are a group of professionals and pre-doctoral students from Alliant University majoring in clinical psychology. CAPS is located at Suite 102 in the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center, they are open Monday through Friday, 8-5 pm, and can be reached at (760) 750-4910 According to Dr. Kreisler, the full time psychiatrist with CAPS, the most important service they offer is one-on-one counseling. Dr. Kreisler suggests that victims of the fire confide in a close friend or a clergy member. Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard, has also responded to the needs of CSUSM students by opening his door to those who want to discuss concerns about the devastating effects of the San Diego County Fires. Poullard's office is located in Craven Hall 4935. It is recommended to call first and make an appointment, (760) 750-4056 Air quality is also a health concern. The American Lung Association recommends southern California residents to monitor breathing and exposure to airborne contaminants. The Air Pollution Control District of San Diego reported that the air quality is good, with the exception of the areas that are still burning or downwind of fires. To maintain good health, drink plenty of liquids that will aid in flushing the air particles out of the body and avoid hard labor as much as possible. Children should be monitored more closely due to their developing respiratory systems that take in more air than adults do, which means more air pollution. Dr. Nicholson from Student Health Services warned that air borne particles will continue to affect air quality for the next one to two weeks. She advised students to minimize time spent outside and to breathe through the nose.

Page 4 CSUSMs Recycling Program a Model for Other Schools By Ivalee Clark Director Support Services T he University has entered into a contract with the California Integrated Waste Management Board to develop and implement a "model university waste reduction program." With no formal program previously in place and being a new campus, the plan of the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee is to establish a model program right from the beginning and to make it a transferable model for other colleges and universities to follow. An aggressive recycling program was launched on August 2, 1993. Targeted are specific materials for recycling, including mixed o ffice paper, cardboard, newspaper, glass, and cans/plastic. For convenience, special color-coded recycling containers are located in handy locations throughout the University. Your sorted recyclables are collected weekly and delivered to the Mashburn Recycling Center. There, the materials are processed for shipment to companies who reuse our recyclables in the manufacturing of new products. A waste specialist from the California Integrated Waste Management Board in Sacramento spent two days on campus reviewing our recycling program. He praised how much was accomplished in such a short period of time. Thanks to everyone for your cooperation in making the e ffort to recycle and manage waste a success. THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF OUR F ORMAL R ECYCLING PROGRAM SAVED APPROXIMATELY 27 F ULL G ROWN TREES . . . OR ROUGHLY 7 TREES FOR EVERY TON O F MIXED PAPER AND NEWSPAPER. In a ddition, t he c ontractor, Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services has commended CSUSM on how "clean" the recyclable collections have been. Remember, contamination occurs when inappropriate trash becomes commingled with recyclable material. Thanks for asking questions prior to contaminating the recyclables. Answers to some questions: • Plastic grocery bags and brown paper bags cannot be recycled. • Plastic containers from frozen foods or bookstore food cannot be recycled. There is no market for these containers at the present time. Please separate recyclables from trash in the classroom. Both trash and mixed paper containers are located in each classroom.

At Student Health Services we are often asked, "Why is there an immunization requirement for Measles?" The answer is that in the mid 1980s, an epidemic of Measles began. It peaked at 14,000 cases in the first half of 1990. But, because of the efforts at all educational levels (including universities) and community programs, the lowest incidence of Measles cases on record is being experienced in the United States this year. Measles may sound like just another childhood disease but this recent epidemic proves otherwise. In a three year period (1989 to 1992) Measles led to 132 deaths, 11,000 hospitalizations and medical expenditures of up to 100 million dollars. Also, in 1992, the most recent complete reporting period, 19% of all Measles cases were in the 20 year-plus-age group. This age group includes most of the student at this university. A few years ago, 20-30% of the USC football team came down with Measles and almost could not play in the Rose Bowl. The sharp decline in Measles pleases many experts, but also worries them. Ten years ago, Measles was also on the decline, but complacency about Measles vaccine requirements seems to have resulted in the most recent epidemic. Therefore, the Measles vaccine requirement will becontinue because it makes good public health sense, and can personally protect you and your good health. If you have any questions regarding the Measles vaccine, please call Student Health Services at 752-4915. Every student born Jan. 1956 or later is required t o provide proof of measles/ Rubella vaccination prior t o registration for a second semester. Student Health Services will be offering walk-in clinics for the required measles/ Rubella immunizations. The clinic dates are: Fri., Nov. 19 Tue., Nov. 23 Wed., Dec. 1 8:30 1:00 8:30 1:30 - You must bring your immunization card or medical record t o Student Health Services, fill out the necessary form and return the completed form t o Admissions and Records.

PLAY FORE PAR Faculty wants to change program name B y J an C ooper Staff Writer A memo to the academic faculty and advisors from the Liberal Studies faculty announced that they are petitioning to change the name of Liberal Studies to Integrative Studies. The memo states that this new name will better reflect the nature of the program which, while usually associated with the Multiple Subject Waiver Program, provides a variety of interdisciplinary options. A track structure will allow the university to develop interdisciplinary tracks in addition to the waiver tracks. They will share a common mission statement and core of courses beyond GE requirements. Central to this core will be issues related to race, class and gender. Service Learning will be an important part of this program. The Program Mission Statement states that "Integrative Studies (IS) is a dynamic, innovative multi-disciplinary program designed for students seeking a broad liberal arts education with a global perspective." It goes on to state, "This curriculum seeks to breach traditional barriers between the natural and social sciences and the humanities to achieve an integrated educational experience. IStudents who graduate from the IS program will be prepared to enter various fields in the private and public sector, pursue further professional training or post-graduate education, and in general, be better prepared for the technological changes underway in t oday's workplace. The memo did not explain how this change will affect current Liberal Studies majors and did not go into specifies as to how the pro* gram would be changed or enhanced.

While certain guiding principles and philosophies have been established, the shape that CSUSM will take in the future is essentially up for grabs. The administration and faculty have already worked hard to earn a reputation for diversity and academic excellence, but it is the student body that will ultimately shape our university for future generations. With that in mind, CSU San Marcos should continue to focus on intellectual and cultural achievement and not put valuable money and resources into a comprehensive athletic program. Certainly, athletics is an important part of American life and team sports offer many rewards to those students who choose to participate. But the mission of CSUSM is an intellectual one. In a state so limited economically that university fee hikes have caused the cost of education to skyrocket, the primary goal of all state universities should be to improve the educational environment and lessen the economic burden in any way possible. Football stadiums and coaching staffs are luxuries that we cannot possibly afford. Some would argue that a strong football team brings revenue to the school by attracting area supporters who are more than happy to fork over a few bucks for the university in order to see a good gridiron match up. High profile athletic programs are often economically beneficial to the universities that house them, but getting to that point requires a great deal of expenditure that simply could be utilized in better ways. Also, athletic events only attract supporters if those supporters have a winning team to root f or; losing teams also lose money. Perhaps more important than the athletic program's* varying economic aspects is the side-stepping of academic goals. The ultimate purpose of any university is to foster an intellectual environment conducive in every way possible to student growth. As is, CSUSM is filled with dedicated faculty and hardworking students here because they want to be a part of that environment. We should dedicate our time and resources to the pedantic and aesthetic endeavors that make university life important and unique. There are plenty of other places to find great quarterback keeps and breathtaking double plays. Let this university be a haven for intellect and culture. Human spirit triumphs over California tragedies By R oman S. Koenig Contributing Writer As the Santa Ana winds blow again this week and the fires we thought were over destroy the community of Malibu, the memory of last week'sfirestorms still burns in my mind; yet while thinking about what is now being called one of California's worst tragedies, something very important and encouraging has come out of the ashes. The news is so often riddled with v iolence and d eath, t he coverage of last week's destruction seemed no different on the surface, but l ooking at it with c loser scrutiny, it became c lear that something, in fact, was different. More important than anything else, the triumph of the human spirit showed through like a candle in the darkness. While television cameras both on the ground and in the air focused on the violence and destruction t he f ire b rought, n ews c ommentators a nd r eporters seemed to move more quickly to cover the human angle in the midst of all the tragedy. Seeing, hearing and reading stories about how neighbors fought to save each other's homes with Politics as usual By B arry W alker Guest Editorial There is a new club on campus that has promised to promote discussion of political issues on campus that affect students, faculty, and the community. The Political Science Association (PSA), in an attempt to demonstrate its willingness and desire to discuss important issues, has already met face to face with the politics of politics. On Tuesday, Oct. 26, the Student Califor- nia Teachers Association scheduled a seminar geared against Prop. 174 (the school voucher initiative). The PSA was interested in seeing that arguments on both sides of this very important issue were addressed and available to students on campus, and started looking for someone to present the pro-side argument. After being guaranteed a speaker, the PSA went ahead with coordination of the event. At this point, the speaker, a co-author of Prop. 174, demanded equal time with the audience garden hoses as 40-foot flames swept through the hills of Laguna Beach, Thousand Oaks and here at h ome in E scondido m ade m e question if the news media is really as " violence-loving" as m ost people make it out to be. In newspapers, stories about how people have been effected by thefiresreceived equal billing with the destruction those fires caused. Saturday's edition of The Orange County Register had the story "Evacuees treated to hotel party," about how local businesses and community organizations held a Halloween party at a hotel f or families that lost homes in Laguna Beach. The Times Advocate had on Friday's front page a teaser at the t op r eading, " Fire A ftermath: Families look to the future after losing their homes." Again, a look at the ' B' section showed the top story to be about the triumph of the human spirit: "Couple finds 'there is life after the fire."' The story f ocused on E laine a nd N eil Marshburn, who after losing their home in the Guejito fire, returned to the ashes that were once their home and prepared to "build new memories." The words in a commentary attending the SCTA seminar. Part of that audience was allegedly an education class who, it could be argued, would be a captive audience for one side of apolitical issue at the expense of the California taxpayer without giving the opposite side equal time. Nevertheless, the PSA was offering a time slot in which the pro voucher side could be presented. It was scheduled to precede the seminar opposing the issue. The speaker, not convinced that he would receive equal time, withdrew from his commitment to address this campus at the request of PSA.

In order to gain knowledge and formulate opinion on an issue, one must listen to arguments in contrast to o ne's own opinion as well as to those that concur. Without doing so is to make an uninformed choice. The decision of the pro Prop. 174 speaker not to speak was a political decision that benefited no one. Must politics always get in the way of politics?

A strong part of the opposition f rom the ICC was that in giving a few clubs (the Greeks) the $1,000 they requested to put on one event, it would possibly excluded other clubs from their portion of that money later in the year. The ICC voted to equally divide the $4,500 with a reserve f or new clubs or emergencies. The other part of the opposition was the irony created by the clubs having given full support to "Red R ibbon" week promoting non-alcoholic lifestyles, and then being asked f or money f or a party with a cash bar at the end of that same week! Some of the clubs have a strong sensitivity to alcohol issues, SALT, American Indian and others feel that alcohol is not conducive to learning and that the school is not a place for an alcohol-oriented party. T he ICC as a body wants no responsibility in this type of affair but each club i s f ree to pursue their own a gendas within the school's guidelines.

In the meantime, individuals are forced (taxation) to pay for a poor quality education whether they send their child to a government school or not.

Printing—out p aper, g elatin silver p rint. Earthly Constellation—-photographs by Linda Connor By Peter Gorwin Critic-at-Large The Museum of Photographic Art (MOPA) has opened its new exhibition, the work of two photographers, Linda Connor and Ruth Thorne-Thomsen. These photographers have more in common than their gender; they possess a love of subjects ancient and mysterious, and they use their cameras to capture images of things ephemeral and fleeting. However, the way these women set out to record such essences differs like night and day. I found their work so compelling that I decided to review them separately. In this issue, I will concentrate on the work of Linda Connor, a Bay area photographer who teaches at the San Francisco Art Institute. In a documentary which runs with her show, "Earthly Constellation," Linda Connor states that her images revolve around "honoring the spirit." In these transcendental endeavors, she has chosen the tools and techniques of such traditional landscape photographers as Ansel Adams and John Sexton. She uses the 8x10 view camera, not usually the choice f or the woman photographer due to its heavy and unwieldy nature. With the correct exposure and developing techniques, this camera produces an 8x10 inch black & white negative, capable of producing an image unsurpassed in rich tone and detail. As with past masters, Connor chooses to contact print her images, side-stepping the use of an enlarger. Nonetheless, the naked way her prints have been placed in 8x10 inch frames, does them no justice. Mounting and matting her photographs in a more customary way would have better exhibited her work. Technique becomes meaningless if the artist does not use it to reflect carefully chosen subject matter. Connor, an adventurous traveler, has chosen areas as diverse as Nepal, Ireland, Hawaii, Europe, Egypt and the American Southwest in pursuit of "spiritual" subject matter. In seeking the spiritual, her eye gravitates to classic outdoor landscapes, dimly lit interiors of temples and tombs, Native American pictographs, or Celtic stone circles. She proves to be at her best when she weaves antithetical elements into her images, such as those in her photograph, "The Patient One." In it we see a beam of bright sunlight striking an artifact inside a darkened East Indian Temple. Often, when she cannot identify such natural opposites as dark and light which play against one another in her composition, her work takes on a more pedestrian quality, verging on being simply documentary. At these times, her images reflect a safe decision to fall back on her strong technical expertise, relying on subtle themes and elements rather than on more dynamic and compelling ones. Connor captures the spirit best in her spontaneous people images, something usually attained by photographers who use smaller format cameras. Cartier-Bresson serves as the prime example of this. Such photographers usually use wider apertures and faster shutter speeds in order to catch their subjects atjust therightmoment. Remarkably, Connor breaks this rule by using a small aperture, compensating with the usual longer exposure time. With these longer exposures, subjects may blur, but Connor uses this to her advantage often allowing one figure in the image to blur, shifting the viewer's attention to the person who has remained sharp and still. Sandra S. Phillips, curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the person who organized Connor's show, inadvertently perpetuates gender stereotypes with such statements as, "She (Connor) is one the few women who have explored landscape photography, and endowed this form with a female consciousness." Phillips fails to define what "female consciousness" means, or, for that matter, how this aspect of C onnor's psyche has specifically influenced her images. Certainly, we must commend both women for smashing any glass ceilings which may exist in the photographic world, but the quality of C onnor's art eclipses any myths about gender influences on creation. In the next issue I will review the surrealistic work of Ruth Thorne-Thomsen, the other photographer being shown at this dual exhibition. Her show is entitled, "Within this Garden." I recommend that you get over to MOPA to see these shows which will be running until November 14. For information, call (619) 238-7559.

Courting the Earth A ltman T akes No S hort C uts in N ew Film Movie Review By Thomas Lee Huntington StaffWriter Robert Altman has long been one of the few American filmmakers unafraid of artistic experimentation. From his early social comedies such as Mash and Nashville to the recent Hollywood satire The Player, Altman has consistently pushed the bounds of cinematic convention, often delivering keen insight into the human condition. Altman's best work is in many ways a reflection on the absurdity and Hopelessness ofmodern life. Thejumpy, nervous camerawork and disjointed, frantic dialogue capture in a unique way the various joys and neuroses of his characters. It is appropriate, then, that Altman would turn to the writings of minimalist short-story master Raymond Carver for cinematic inspiration. Carver (recently deceased) was interested in the blandness and fragility of everyday existence. His stories are tightly structured snapshots of extraordinary moments in ordinary lives, introducing a few charac- ters and then taking them in the least-expected direction. In his new film Short Cuts (playing exclusively at San Diego's Park Theater), Altman has taken a handful of Carver stories, changed the location from the midwest to Los Angeles and created what is perhaps the finest film of his career. Altman does not so much adapt these stories as interpret them. The stories are loosely woven together in distinct Altman fashion, complete with his characteristic quick cutting and unique camera angles. The beauty of the film lies in the fact that the Carver material works so well within that stylistic framework. It is a marvelous marriage of artistic mediums: Altaian's dramatic and visual sense brings the stories to life in the same way that Carver's deeply drawn, insightful characters and situations give weight to the director's vision. A plot summary would be useless for a film of this complexity and scope, and part of the joy of the movie lies in watching the various stories turn in unexpected directions. Compelling, flawed characters are introduced and relationships are established at a leisurely pace. Some of the stories take tragic turns that send ripples throughout the film. By the end, every individual story has been in some way affected by another story, creating a fragile web of relationships and circumstances holding the narrative together. It certainly helps that Altman has assembled a cast of some of the finest actors in film. Matthew Modine, Tim Robbins, Lily Tomlin, Fred Ward and Jack Lemmon are j ust a few of the standouts on a crowded list. The director has given his cast a great deal of freedom to improvise dialogue and approach their characters as they seefit,and that gives the film much of its gritty, home-movie kind of ambiance. The actors work off of each other very naturally. Even the dramatic, scenery-chewing roles seem realistic and unrehearsed. Altman has woven isolated characters and events together in a coincidental and subtle way; the characters are oftentimes connected in ways only the viewer can see. But these coincidental, unseen connections are the driving force behind many of the film's main events. That is the genius of Altman's technique. He has taken the small, literary lands Carver created and bound them together in one big cinematic world. The viewer is able to sit back and see the connections the characters cannot, to observe the "short cuts" that tie everything together. �Babysitting "I think she's poor," mother told me. How do you know? "Just from the way she dresses . . . I just have a feeling about it. I'm pretty sure she has a messy house too. Make sure you tell me, okay?" It's poor by my standards, but not really poverty. The contrast opens my eyes and makes me that much more aware of the world around me. I realize how much I have and how good my life is. They have tasteless macaroni and cheese for dinner yet cheap ice cream for dessert. "Sit on the floor with your ice cream if you want to watch t.v." "Mom said we can't sit on the floor 'cuz there's lice in the carpet." "Okay. I guess we won't sit on the floor anymore." Aftr sharing a toothbrush, they sleep in their underwear— the heat is unbearable. Parents divorced, they live with mom. Life is hard. The ugly separation remains branded in their hearts, a painful memory. T he driDDins f aucet k eens m e a wake so I w atch c able on t heir s mall t .v. It is ironic, and I sadly smile thinking of the ice cream and cable. This is an old house, yet big enough for their family of three. The waiting ends as she returns to wake the kids and drive me home. With the twenty dollar bill in hand I feel guilty and wonder if I shouldhave made an exception to my two dollar per hour fee. But the feeling doesn't last long as I see my house. I step quietly over the threshold into the comfort of my own home, ready for sleep, and in the morning . . . church.

Jill Watts, Assistant Professor of History, Nov. 18,6 PM, ACD 305 A lecture presented by the Argonaut Society (History Club) �Campus Alcohol Policy Focuses on responsibility through education By J an C ooper StaffWriter Recent activity at the ICC meetings has left many students wondering j ust What is the university's policy on alcohol. A complete copy of the University Interim Alcohol Policy is available from the O ffice of Student Activities. This policy provides a comprehensive approach to alcohol use which is sensitive to the individual while preserving the academic environment of the university. The policy is two-part: the philosophical foundation of the interim policy and interim alcohol regulations. The philosophical foundation maintains C SUSM's commitment to providing a supportive environment that encourages students to pursue intellectual, professional, and personal development. As the use of alcohol may interfere with this pursuit on an individual basis and have an adverse affect on the university c ommunity, the present alcohol policy promotes responsible approaches and considerations of alcohol use through education, counseling support, and regulation enforcement. The Office of Counseling and Psychological Services; Studefit Health Services, and the Office of Student Activities provide re- source materials, educational programs, workshops, and activities which discuss alcohol and substance abuse. Psychological services are also available to CSUSM students through individual counseling, support groups, selfhelp strategies, and community resource referrals. While students may seek assistance for their own abuse, it is not uncommon for them to seek help regarding a friend or family member. The purpose of the interim alcohol policy is to provide basic guidelines for the sale, serving, and consumption of alcoholic beverages on CSUSM property. Appropriate written approval (see a complete copy f or details) must be obtained, and a reasonable list of activities must be followed, including abiding by university, federal, and state regulations regarding alcohol; providing a nonalcoholic beverage alternative, and maintaining behavior and activities appropriate to a university setting. If your organization plans to sponsor an event where alcohol will be served, or if you plan to participate in one, it may be wise to review a complete copy of the University Interim Alcohol Policy. Any questions should be addressed to the Director of Student Activities. CAMPUS MUSIC seeks student intern to work 5 hours per week, visit local record stores, work with major record labels.

Chancellor Reed recently approved a giveback of $31.3 million from California's budget in response, to Governor Schwarzenegger's request f or. budget cuts across the board. f \ Chancellor Reed's giveback will come from the CSU's already $250 million budget shortfall, and will contribute to Governor Schwarzeneg^ger's $390 million request f rom government agencies. The C alifornia Faculty Association was quick to criticize Chancellor Reed's decision, noting that the $31.3 million giveback was not mandated. In a release issued on Oct. 27, the CFA contended that Chancellor Reed "misled the campus community by incorrectly reporting the CSU among agencies that need to cut a total of $390 million f rom the current budget." The charge r efers to a memo issued on Oct. 23 in which Chancellor Reed revealed the cut as a necessary response to Governor Schwarzenegger's call for a statewide budget cut of $390 million. The memo issued to all CSU employees states, "we have been i nformed by t he State D epartment of Finance that state agencies and departments need to cut a total of an additional $390 million."

Shortly following the closing of precincts in California, Obama clinched the presidency, widely surpassing the electoral vote of 270 needed to win. All day, students across campus proudly sported their "I Voted" stickers, and checked exit pollfigureson their cell phones.

The appeal of Blu-Ray is the lust for fancy new electronics. There is no need to buy a BluRay player. They may be nicer, but not worth the jacked up price. BluRay discs may be shiny and new, but DVDs are still high quality and more affordable. the standard DVD. Images are superior in high-definition and the sound is less condensed, hence clearer. Moreover, the discs can hold more data, resulting in more 'special features'. As well, Blu-Ray boasts that it immediately plays the film and the menu can be accessed at anytime during the movie at the bottom of the screen. On the surface, this seems nice. I appreciate high quality images and features that make for a better viewing experience. It would make sense to switch over to the new form, if it were not so expensive. The manufactures of Blu-Ray players have slapped an inflated price on the machines. For what the buyer is getting, this is a rip off. Besides the cost of the player, one must also buy a HD television. In consumerist America, this is very desirable. Though one might be able to afford it, this is an inappropriate use of money considering the financial crisis. As well, Blu-Ray discs are $5 to $10 more expensive. The special features are not worth that much money. Advertisements try to convince that standard DVD is a pain compared to Blu-Ray. DVDs are fine. attentive, but the overbearing service is an illusion of service. The formulaic greeting, serving, and thanking are fake and customers must know this. Employees have the proverbial gun to the back of their head to be unnaturally pleasant. This becomes especially difficult when the job itself is responsible for the unhappiness that employees must bury their sentiments to keep from losing their job. Workers must hide their feelings because the customer believes he or she deserve special treatment. Employees can and should be helpful, but they do not need to put on a show for the customer. The excessive conversation only slows done the transaction or interaction. Customers should appreciate getting what they need, not the imposed kindness. Yet the system is so deeply sunk into America, it is near impossible to be undone. The customer expects royal treatment while shopping because the stores perpetuate this process. Since customers naturally think this service is a good thing, it becomes part of a store strategy to make more money. If a store did not impose customer service, people would think poorly of the store. « It is unfair for stores to expect workers to be overly friendly to the customer. The real measurement of a store should be the quality and availability of products, and not ho\vtoucha worfer 'brownnoses' the shopper. For now employees just have to keep smiling. Shoppers must remember their place in the world and give some respect to the worker. It's true! Left-handed people are a minority living in a majority right-handed world. We deal with our aggression by dreaming of our Holy Grail, stores that only sell left-handed products. Notice how the right hand is RIGHT and the left hand is not the riglit hand. "They" might have as well called the left hand the wrong hand. The story goes back. I was in elementary school, kindergarten to be exact. One day after eating some minty paste and chasing the girls around in the sawdust, I was asked to grab a foreign object that I would later learn was a pencil. I was told to scribble on a piece of paper in whatever hand I felt most comfortable with. My right hand must have been a negative and the pencil a positive, because my left hand calmly and firmly grabbed the object. The following day I was asked to repeat the above-mentioned task. Withmintybreathlrepeated. After a few days my writing was going nowhere. It looked like I was trying to create a Jackson Pollock artwork. My teacher^ Mrs. Kristiansen, if I recall correctly, told me that I should try writing with the RIGHT hand. I thought, right hand, it must be right if they are calling it the right hand. I regretfully admit I gave it a chance. My body rejected. I felt like I was abducted by aliens— creepy and weird. I went home, paste in hand, and cried to my mommy. "Mommy, I want to use the left hand, I don't care if it's the RIGHT hand, I'm left handed." 16 years later I'm left handed and proud. Of course I'm even more confused as I throw, bat, and punch with my right hand. I leave the light duties such as eating and writing to my left hand. I wear my watch on the right hand and keep my wallet on my right pocket. I know. I do not get it either. So next time you see a lefthander ripping the sheets out of their three ring binder because we cannot write between the rings and the starting section of the paper, give us a break. We're just left-handed people living in your right-handed world. member of the press is recognizing one's mistakes. For The Pride, this time is no different. In the Opinion Article titled, "Starbucks Charges for Tap Water," [October 28, 2008], The Pride allowed for the printing of an opinion piece that argued the water at the on-campus Starbucks was unreasonable. However, the author failed to incorporate correct information into the piece, thus incorrectly referring to it as "tap water." The Pride has since been informed that Starbucks does serve water directlyfromthe faucet, but rather triple-filters the water they do serve BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer The transition from VHS to DVD was the most exciting change in home e ntertainment since the invention of the television. The playback features alone made DVDs the best choice. Along with being physically smaller, having better video quality, and including 'special features,' the DVD was definitely worth switching over to. Yet they are supposedly inferior to the shiny new high-definition Blu-Ray discs. Although Blu-Ray is better quality, it is not worth the change thus far. Blu-Ray is fancy and boasts new features, but not worth the costs. Blu-Ray is certainly better than Cutomer service The cruel, perpetual joke BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer In America, stores will do anything to keep shoppers coming back. Advertisements and sales are only part of this equation. Shop employees are inexplicably nice to strangers. Customer service is artificial kindness, guised as an additional benefit to shopping. Though appreciation is nice, customer service is a joke for the customer and employee. It is the employee's job to helpful and Photo retreivedfrom snipsmovies.com Left-handed people are left out BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Photo retreivedfro m leftorium.com SPpecial Note from the bEditor-in-Chief RE: Starbucks and water art of being a responsible students are eing charged for through reverse osmosis. The author of the piece claims to have received correct information after press time, although that is in fact no excuse for the use of such information, and further precautions will be used in future articles that run in our student newspaper.

Douglass Miller, campus police Fellow Cougars, I hope that you all have seen an improvement in the morning traffic coming onto campus. We at the University Police would like to extend a huge "thank you" to everyone in Planning, Design & Construction and in Parking & Commuter Services for the open collaboration that made a great team and the success of this project possible. This team was able to recommend and institute a number of improvements that we believe helped reduce the time it takes to get onto campus each morning. One of these changes was to remove the stop sign at the top of Palm Canyon Drive as it enters Parking Lot F. This seems to have reduced the back up onto Craven Road from Palm Canyon. We also worked very hard at improving the timing and sequencing of the traffic control lights. We also implemented a suggestion to offer reduced rate parking in Lots XY&Z. The increased number of people parking in XYZ is notable and has made an impact. One of the suggestions that we were not able to implement was adding an additional turn lane to the intersection of Craven Road and Palm Canyon Drive. Everyone felt that this idea had terrific merit. However, when we tried to put concept to implementation we found that this intersection is not a true 90 degree intersection. The corner of the intersection is in fact less than 90 degrees. If an additional lane were put in, vehicles would not be able to make the turn safelyfromeither direction unless the Dear Editor: An opinion piece recently published by the Pride newspaper, (Made in America By Convicts, 10/28/08) is an untrue characterization of the California Prison Industry Authority (CALPIA), the contributions of its inmate workers and the conditions under which they work. More disturbing, the article appears to be a plagiarized version of a rant written by an inmate nearly 15 years ago. The claims by John Caterino, and many of the lines in his article, appear to be lifted nearly word-for-wordfromthat inmate's previously published claims. They were untrue then, and certainly do not reflect the rehabilitative mission, or the efficient operation of the CALPIA today. CALPIA provides inmates with the work and life skills they need so they can return to constructive lives when they leave prison. It operates over 60 light manufacturing and agricultural businesses in 23 of the State's 33 prisons that give inmates real world experi- result, CALPIA jobs are highly sought after work. California struggles with the high ence. In many cases, it is thefirstjob they among inmates.

Excluded in that relationship is kissing, fondling, stroking, certainly any kind of oral gratification, and definitely sodomy [undefined]. His statement that people are born with only male or female parts precludes the "possibility that he may have participated in any upper-level physiology class. He also implied that one cannot be homosexual by nature, and so it must be learned. I'm sure it is a great disappointment for all of those heterosexual parents who have failed to teach their children proper heterosexual behavior. It's possible, I guess, that they may have been using an unnatural position or having sex for reasons other than procreation. It certainly bears looking into and conducting further research as to how people learn to become homosexual. When called upon to get to the discussion that was advertised, Prop 8, he launched into another diatribe. After 45 minutes I pregnant? F •'."" ' road was widened. We then explored widening the road slightly to make this change. Unfortunately, the new traffic control signal is too close to the curb to allow making any significant improvement. In the end, adding this turn lane would have required a significant capital outlay that in the currentfiscalsituation was simply not an alternative. To further mitigate traffic congestion we would encourage everyone to consider using the Sprinter, even once or twice a week would significantly help. Monthly passes can be purchased at Parking Services in the Foundation Class Room Building behind Craven Hall. The campus is also installing additional Bicycle racks for those energetic enough toridea bike to work. Your contin- ued understanding during these periods of growth is greatly appreciated. Although we have seen some improvement, please keep in mind that we will never be able to "return to the old days" when you could drive right onto campus without delay. It seems we have jumped straight from adolescence to adulthood and all the accompanying problems associated with a larger campus. You have my assurances that we will continue to monitor the morning traffic, accept suggestions, and mitigate problems as they present themselves. Lieutenant Douglass Miller CSU San Marcos Police Department Re: Made in America... by convicts Sffiß P Í A Prop 8 discussion turns into gay bashing seminar The College Republicans sponsored what was touted to be an informational lecture and Q & A on Prop 8.

Despite the CFA's protest, Chancellor Reed insists that the $31.3 million in givebacks will not hinder critical CSU operations. Thus far, the Chancellor has not shown signs of conceding to the CFA's demands.

"I've always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it. Senator Obama believes that, too." "I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited," said McCain. In closing, McCain stressed the importance of nationwide unity and patriotism, "I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president. And I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here." Shortly thereafter, forty-sevenyear-old Obama celebrated victory at Grant Park in Chicago with his wife, Michelle, and daughters, Malia and Sasha by his side. : * In his victory speech to a crowd of over 125,000 people, Obama declared, "If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer." 2008 election results cheers.

The CSUSM study abroad program offers students the opportunity to study in Spain, France, England, the Netherlands, China and Costa Rica just to name a few. The opportunities to travel, study and learn about a different culture are just a glimpse of the immense benefits that studying abroad can do for a student's academic career. CSUSM offers a plethora of programs, 35 programs in nine different countries to be exact. Also, CSUSM exclusively offers 11 student exchange programs, which are better known as bilateral agreements, meaning that when American students seek to study at an exchange school, that school's foreign students can come to CSUSM to study, according to Tiffany Gabbard, the new study abroad advisor. The most popular study abroad locations are Western Europe, Spain, Italy and France. The Italy and France study abroad programs are particularly for students who are interested in studying the language and culture. Hong Kong, China is another popu- Studv.Abroad i n Korea iatS,o,onchunlmngUniversitv r lar location to study abroad, especially for business majors. Japan and the Netherlands are other study abroad locations that are growing in popularity. Some of the most unique locations students can study abroad are Fiji, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, South A frica, South America, Australia and Israel. The CSUSM study abroad program offers a unique program through World Link Education that enables students to learn the native language while living in the foreign country. Students can learn Japanese in Japan, German in Germany and the list continues with five other languages and countries. Opportunities to study abroad don't just stop at CSUSM, students can also search for study abroad programs at another CSU campus that may offer different programs.

It was so amazing to see the pages come to life by reading about the swans and watch the swans for myself," McBrayer said about her study abroad experience. "While we were not in school I had plenty of time to explore the town and other areas," McBrayer continued. Studying abroad can be a life changing experience and can help future^ graduates develop deeper understanding of the world around them. "Students come home with a g reater sense of who they are, a g reater appreciation of their own c ulture nected the world is," said Gabbard. "I have studied abroad in both Italy and England and considered them the most rewarding and enriching times of my life. Students must go explore this vast wonderful world of ours, and I'm happy to h elp them plan for their journey of a lifetime," Gabbard said. The CSUSM study abroad programs offer students more than 10 different types of financial aid and scholarships to help more students study abroad. More information can be found at www2.csusm.edu/ global, or at the study abroad o ffice in Craven Hall 3200. "If for some reason an exchange or IP program is not offered in the location a student desires, he/she can be an intra-campus visitor to another CSU and do their study abroad program with their students. It opens up a lot of doors for students to explore the world," Gabbard said. CSUSM features an exclusive opportunity for students to participate in internship programs in Australia and New Zealand. Internships are available in art, f ilm, broadcasting, even business and law, according to the Austra Learn program. Specific internship programs abroad are a great addition to a resume, since only about 1 percent of the students in the United States study abroad, according to the former CSUSM study abroad advisor, Jan Stockey. Katie McBrayer, a senior at CSUSM, studied abroad in Galway, Ireland her junior c ulture, and a much better p erception of just how con- the dangers they face while crossing the desert. With almost all of the boys being under the age of 12 when they left their villages, the boys did not have anyone to keep them safe from the wild animals except themselves. Alephonsion Deng, in his talk to students at Cal State San Marcos Oct. 9, recounted an incident in which he was sleeping in one of the refugee camps with a bunch of other little boys. He said he felt something above him and absent mindedly swatted at it. Moments later he woke to screaming and saw that the little boy who was sleeping next to him had a gaping hole in the side of his face where an animal had bit him. During their journey the boys were often separated from each other and they faced additional hardships that most can scarcely imagine. They walked thousands of miles in the grueling heat and the bitter cold. They were faced with injuries, slavery, starvation, thirst and all too often death. In their desperate attempt to survive, at times they ate dirt and drank their own urine to survive. However, when they reached the refugee camps, things were not much better. They received rations from the United Nations, however they were not sufficient. The cramped quarters and the unsanitary conditions lead to the State San Marcos directly to the spread of disease, and they were village that Benjamin, Benson never far from war. and Alephonsion came from, and In the western world it is nearly where their family members still impossible to imagine people reside, in order to build a well going through this, much less sur- that will provide them with fresh, viving it, and it is nearly always untainted water. associated with a less humane For . more past.

After having read the gripping tale of three x)f the Lost Boys in They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky and having heard one of the Lost Boys who coauthored the book speak at Cal State University San Marcos, student Katey Pfeil decided to do something to give back to the Lost Boys. "I'm not usually the type to go out of my little box, but their story really inspired me," Pfeil said. "I did some research and found Water for Sudan, which is a project that collects donations to help build wells in Sudan so that the villages have fresh water, I just wanted to do something to give back." Pfeil's inspiration to help came from the stories of three specific men, Alephonsion Deng, Benson Deng and Beiqamin Ajak. The boys were all under the age of seven when they were forced by the civil war in Sudan* which became a genocide of the southern Sudanese people, to leave their families, homes and villages, and they were left to wander for years in the desert.

THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Miller Brewing Company produces Genuine Draft Light 64. The company operates out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Frederick Miller began the brewery in 1855. In October 2007, SABMIiller and Molson Coors joined forces making them the second largest United States brewery trailing Anheuser Busch. The Pride's "Beer of the Week" columns typically focus on microbreweries. However, Miller's new recipe deserves coverage. In general, Californians are health conscious. Several years ago people were going on the Atkins diet like it was going; out of style. Well, it did eventually fade out like any fad diet but demand still exists for low calorie beers. Most light beers currently on the market offer around 100 calories per 12 fluid ounce serving. Miller offers a beer with only 64 calories. Six packs of the brew retail for $6. A quick pour of the light brew generates a shocking behemoth one inch thick head. The head gradually dissipates into a frothy lancet. Bubbles of bliss glide joy fully t o t he t op o f t he glass emitting slight fragrances of malts and hops. The beer enters smooth then releases a surprisingly strong bitter taste. Unfortunately, the light brew, as natural of a light calorie beef, finishes too mild. "It's not as raspy as most beers. It goes down really smooth. It's not too stropg. It doesn't have any aftertaste," said nonstudent Josh Chamberland The low calories of the brew are perfect for those on diets or searching for ways to cut > out unnecessary calories. The beer should be enjoyed in social settings such as barbeques or pool days as the beer does not produce a full filling like most beers do. The simple taste of the beer will not pair well with meals. A more flavorful beer should be chosen to consume while eating.

The program, almost a decade in the making, came at the request of interested stu­ dents and was made possible by a collective group of more than a dozen professors. The pro­ gram offers students the choice of more than 80 courses drawn from nine disciplines. Students must complete 21 units of cred­ it to obtain the minor. Initially, it was conceived as a major rather than as a minor, and slated to be part of the curriculum sometime around 2005. When the ethnic studies major came up for approval over two years ago, Richard Karas, vice president of Academic Affairs at the time, removed the program from consideration under pres­ sure from CSU headquarters in Long Beach, which argued that there were enough of such . programs already in existence within the CSU system and that one at CSUSM was unwar­ ranted. CSUSM literature and writing professor Susie Cassel and former liberal studies pro­ fessor Lionel Maldonado took action, assembling interested professors to form a proposal group to restructure the major program into a minor —utiliz­ ing courses already found with­ in the curriculum. Although the group consisted of almost 15 professors, sociology pro­ fessors Sharon Elise and Garry Rolison, liberal studies pro­ fessors Bob Yamashita and Anibal Yanez-Chavez, along with Cassel, formed the coali­ tion that would present their proposal to the Academic Senate. At the Academic Senate’s final meeting of the school year in May 2000, the group was given one minute to pres­ ent its case for the program. The senate passed the pro­ gram- but did not support funding. Fortunately, Cassel says, Interim Dean Miriam Schustack “courageously decid­ ed that the ethnic studies degree was central enough to the uni­ versity’s mission and the col­ lege’s academic vision, that she promised to fund it for this year.” Still, the funding issue will have to be addressed each year and Cassel admits that, » Article cont. on pg. 2 �Student Researches a Future Possibility for Protection Against Terrorism By STEPHANIE BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Terrorism has created a new reality in America, and Americans are now searching for answers not only to what could have been done, but what can be done now, especially in the search to find any terrorists living in America. One CSUSM student, Latha Kannan, is par­ ticipating in the search by researching a new scientific tech­ nique called brain fingerprint­ ing, which may aid the govern­ ment in bringing not only ter­ rorists, but any suspected crimi­ nals, to justice. Kannan, a third-year liberal studies major, is researching the brain fingerprinting technique for a project in her Technical Writing course (LTWR 317), where students not only learn the basics of technical writing, but also practice their technical skills by engaging in a semesterlong project. Each student must create a project, whether it is a handbook, manual, or business proposal. Each project must be sufficiently technical in nature, and may cover any topic the stu­ dents choose. Kannan proposed a project that will identify terror­ ists using the brain fingerprint­ ing technique. 2. Fingerprints and DNA are Brain fingerprinting, invent­ ed by Dr. Lawrence A.

Prompt Payment Revision Effective Spring Term 2002 There will be one payment deadline date three weeks prior to the start of the term (for Spring 2002, this date would be Jan. 10). At this date, all payment is due from any student who has reserved classes. Thereafter, all students must pay at the time of registration. Disenrollment will occur on a daily basis. Important points to remember: There is no interference with pre-registration. It can con­ tinue and payment is deferred to a later date (the one deadline date). After the deadline, disenrollment for non-payment will occur on a daily basis allowing for the university to know exactly the true enrollment count. Financial Aid still controls the deferral process for aid recipients and so students with a deferral code would continue to be exempt from disenrollment and allowed to reserve classes. This scenario also applies to students, s u c h as veterans, with waiver deferrals. The time limits for the daily disenrollment will be as follows: Any student, who registers up to 8 p m. of a campus business day, must make payment by 8 a.m. of the next campus business day. * Campus business days are defined as Monday through Friday, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays. Any regis­ tration occurring after the established cut-off (8 p.m.) on a campus business day will be treated as if received on the following campus business day. Disenrollment for non-payment will occur on each business day at 9 a.m. (allowing for processing of drop box payments received by 8 a.m.). Methods of payment are as follows: * * Cashiers hours will remain at this time as 9 a.ni. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The first two weeks of the term, Cashiers will extend the closing hour to 5 p.m. Drop Box Smart Web Smart Phone Emergency loans are available to qualified students beginning 10 days prior to the term (check will be available for pickup with a two-day turn around). New Shopping Center Opens across from Campus By JUSTIN ANDREWS and MIA ALIO Pride Staff Writers Finally, a light a the end of the Twin Oaks Valley Road con­ struction tunnel shines bright, as the new Ralph’s Shopping Center will provide CSUSM students with something to do between classes. But for some people, the new center causes concern. Halloween morning marked the grand opening of Ralph’s supermarket, readily equipped with a deli, pharmacy, photo development lab, and a variety of lunch possibilities to supplement campus dining. Ralph’s was the first busi­ ness in the new center to open its doors. Soon to follow are Blockbuster Video, Starbucks Coffee, Discovery Isle Day Care, Longs Drugs, Scripps Credit Union Bank, a Chinese food res­ taurant, and possibly a pizza sports bar. “We’re excited about being here, we hope to serve a niche with our location being centrally located among [CSUSM] and the suburban neighborhood,” said Ralph’s oper­ ating manager, John Hammel. “We have a few San Marcos and Palomar students employed at this store,” he added. Hammel said that Ralph’s intends to contribute to the com­ munity by sponsoring events and fundraisers for the local ele­ mentary schools and CSUSM. Campus clubs, organizations, and departments may set up conve­ nience accounts with Ralph’s, that would be billed straight to the organization’s budget. Ralph’s is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, under a restricted liquor license which Hammel said, “is typical to have when immersed in a neighbor­ hood, and this close to a college. It only means, that we stop sell­ ing alcohol at midnight and don’t sell single containers under 20 oz.” A Ralph’s employee also mentioned that some faculty had expressed concerns about the availability of liquor so close to campus. Concern has also been expressed about the possibility of Discovery Isle Day Care Center taking business away from the ASI Early Learning Center (ELC), a childcare facil­ ity for the CSUSM community. Joyce Williams, Director of the Early Learning Center, Was unavailable for comment. Others are concerned about Starbucks Coffee opening so close to the Power Surge Cafe. “I think it will definitely take away from the early morning coffee rush, even though we pro­ vide bagels and pastries. Also, Ralph s opened in the new shopping center across the streetfrom campus. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) it sucks that Starbucks is con­ stantly trying to run out small businesses,” said Jenny Ikoma, an employee of Powersurge. No one from the new Starbucks was available for com­ ment. However, Mark Du Bois, Power Surge Cafe owner and a CSUSM alumnus, reacted pos­ itively, and said he is eager to see how much business will World War II Veteran to Give Lecture » By KEVIN HAWK Pride Staff Writer Daniel Ashe, who served in the infantry in Europe during World War II, will give a lecture titled, “What I Found in Europe in the Wake of World War II,” on campus Thursday, Nov. 8. Sponsored by the Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society and the University Global Affairs Committee, Ashe’s lecture will cover the 20 years preceding the defeat of Germany in 1945, and he will also discuss his experi­ ence living in Europe through 1962. He also plans to touch on the political, social, and eco­ nomic realities that evolved in Europe over time. Ashe, a San Diego resident, lectures frequently at UCSD; however, this will be his first lec­ ture at CSUSM. U am looking I forward to my visit at CSUSM,” said Ashe. Ashe accepted an invitation to speak on campus from Alyssa Sepinwall, a history professor at CSUSM. The lecture will be held in University Hall 101, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., and will be free and open to the public, all CSUSM students and faculty. . increase with added consumer traffic drawn by the center. “ “I’m not too concerned about losing any customers to Starbucks,” said Du Bois. “Cal State students appreciate all we have to offer with local music, open mike night, better coffee, a deli, a conference room for students to work on group proj­ ects ~ and did I mention better coffee?” Stul f1 »Article cont. from pg. 1 as such, the program is threatened.” In the short time since the program began, it has generated much interest on cam­ pus. Since its inaugural event, the Angela Davis lecture, “three more professors have asked for their classes to be included,” Cassel noted, adding that, “the list of available courses for the minor is alfeady obsolete due to increased participation.” Courses in communication, world languages, Hispanic stud­ ies, history, human develop­ ment, liberal studies, literature and writing, psychology, soci­ ology, and visual and perform­ ing arts comprise the disciplines represented within the minor. Cassel said she feels that the program, with its focus on inclusiveness and cultural diversity, reflects CSUSM’s mis­ sion statement and the majorityminority population on cam­ pus. �Pum jackedonC pus pkins am By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Two pumpkin-carving con­ tests were held on campus on Halloween. The ASI Pro­ gramming Committee held a Pumpkin-Carving Contest on Founders’ Plaza at noon. It was open to all students, and specifi­ cally targeted student clubs and organizations. On the other side of campus, a second contest was held. The American Language and Cul­ ture Institute (ALCI) sponsored their second annual contest for its students from noon to 1 p.m. on Palm Court. “She was a little ghetto fabulous, but we had so much f un putting her together —Honee Folk, referring to herfirst-place pumpkin Seven chibs participated in the ASI contest.

The audience rose and burst into applause as celebrated author, Toni Morrison, made her way towards the stage of the Amphitheatre de la Verriere in Aix-en-Provence Oct. 18. That Thursday evening marked the opening events of the four-day Fete du Livre, dedicated to Morrison, at Aix’s central library and cultural center, the Cite du Livre, The events of this “Book Festival” included round table discussions, book signings, read­ ings, and the screenings of four American films chosen by Morrison, depicting the AfricanAmerican struggle. “I am going to be very pleased and curious these next few days,” said Morrison as the events began. “Unspeakable histories (Une histoire interdite),” was the topic of the first roundtable dis­ cussion, as well as the theme that made its way into all of the discussions of the “festival.” According to Helene Christol, author and professor of North American Studies at the Author Toni Morrison, (picturedfourth from the left), spoke in France's Amphitheatre de la Verriere in Aix-en-Provence. Laura Hopkins, a CSUSM student studying in the CSU Internation Program in France, recounts the lecture. (Courtesy Photo/Laura Hopkins) University of Provence, Morrison is the author who “touches on black holes in history with a capital H.” Christol described Morrison as the author who, with courage and grace, allows the “unspeak­ able” to come to life and be claimed. The unspeakable was illustrated in Morrison’s novel, Beloved, when the ghost rep­ resenting the Middle Passage arrived in a small, AfricanAmerican town in Ohio. During the round table discussions, Morrison described the process of “narrowing the space” in which an event becomes more real as it pro­ gresses, in the case of “unspeak­ able” African-American history, “from slave mother to your moth­ er.” “There was always a ‘refusal to talk about it,”’ said Morrison about her family; she said that her writings allow for the recovery of this lost history. She added that, for her, the difficulty in express­ ing this void was resolved when she “realized all she had to do was say it, [she] didn’t have to live it.” Morrison, who described herself as a “provoca­ teur,” has been “saying it” now for more than 20 years, and the questions she raises allow us to hear and listen to a story that must be told. Her lyrical voice, according to director, actor, and author Peter Sellers, gives us “a song where the melody is stronger that the words” and a song in which “Toni Morrison has taken the melody and allowed it to sing again.” �T raining Day: A Different Type of War By KEVIN FRISK For The Pride During a time when our nation is engrossed in a war abroad, a different type of war is being fought here at home that has nothing to do with anthrax or chemical terrorism. This is a daily battle fought by law offi­ cers across the country, for our streets and neighborhoods. Our inner-city streets have become battlegrounds for both criminals and the criminal jus­ tice system. In the past, officers of the law have been given a wide range of executive powers and authority to use whatever force they deem necessary to capture criminals and prohibit criminal activity. With power comes the abuse of power, and in the case of the law enforcement agency, this abuse can be just as violent and criminal as the acts they are sup­ posedly trying to prevent. Antoine Fuqua’s (director of ‘‘The Replacement Killers”) new movie, “Training Day,” starring Denzel Washington (“Remember the Titans”) and Ethan Hawke (“G.A.T.T.A.C.A.”) is a movie loosely based on the recent Ram­ part police corruption scandal in the Los Angeles police depart­ ment. The movie centers on a vet­ eran of the LAPD, Alonzo Harris (Washington), who runs an anti­ gang unit on the mean streets of South Central Los Angeles. As the Title suggests, “Training Day” is just that: a 24-hour peri­ od where rookie cop Jake Hoyt (Hawke) has one day to prove to Harris that he is tough enough and has enough knowledge of the streets to join the anti-gang unit. Screenwriter David Ayer pro­ phetically scripted this action/ drama years before a Los Angeles gang-busting unit was caught par- Denzel Washington stars in the action/drama film, f< Training Day. ” (Courtesy PhotoflMDB.COM) ticipating in illegal drug traf­ ficking, evidence planting, and excessive brutality, not unlike the behavior of the people they were supposed to arrest and incarcer­ ate. In his first role as a villain­ ous and morally deviant char­ acter, Washington does an out­ standing job of portraying the rough life that surrounded screen­ writer David Ayer as he grew up in Inglewood and South Central LA. As the officers patrol the streets undercover, Hoyt witness­ es Harris break, rule after rule to accomplish some unknown goal, a goal that Harris claims to be the ultimate success for an effective street cop. The lines of ethics are blurred as Harris uses extremely ques­ tionable tactics to get what he wants from the streets. Instantly opposed to his violent and unorth­ odox techniques, Hoyt is, from the start, at odds with Harris’s practices. However, it is Harris’s charisma and persuasive connec­ tion with the streets that has even Hoyt, the “by-the-book” officer, questioning his beliefs in who and what makes a criminal* While the film is violent, the movie relies strongly on charac­ ter development rather than fancy Hollywood computer graphics to relay its message, and that is why the excessive violence seems merely natural and necessary. Even though the violence may seem gratuitous to the audience at times, it forces the viewer to define their own beliefs and opinions; it forces them to choose between their own sense of right and wrong. Fuqua and Ayer show the audience a world where the moral lines have blurred and only a gray mix of right and wrong remains. They want viewers to ask them­ selves if it is more important to have effective laws, or laws effec­ tively enforced, and “Training Day” accomplishes just that. “Training Day” is rated R by the MPAA for brutal violence, pervasive language, drug content and brief nudity and has a run­ time of 120 minutes. Janes Addiction Inspires Erotic Imagination in San Diego By JAMES NEWELL Pride Staff Writer “We saw the shadowis of the morning light, the shadows of the evening sun, till the shad­ ows and the light were one...” beamed Perry Farrell, as Jane’s Addiction lit up Coors Ampitheatre, bringing Halloween to San Diego three days early. Although Jane’s Addiction didn’t open with Three Days, the song always seems to mark a spiritually erotic part of the show. This time was no excep­ tion and exhibited mostly naked dancers spinning upside down on a circular trapeze. Jane’s Addiction is not a rock band and they are not an alterna­ tive band; they are in a category solely occupied by Jane’s Addic­ tion. They take a variety of musi­ cal backgrounds, such as punk and tribal rhythms, and create a fascinating ephemeral dream, especially when they perform. The music is original and each show is an extremely differ­ ent production, but they always have an erotic theme, not erotic as in sexual activity, but erotic in how they stimulate emotion, bringing out the imaginative qualities of the mind, body and Spirit. The erotic behavior began with the opening song and con­ tinually advanced as their per­ formance was illuminated by the setting of the moon dipping below the rim of the bandshell. The circus-like performance began with Ketel Whistle. As Farrell echoed “such a beautiful girl,” his parachute-like costume, which flowed out from a Vic­ torian style girdle and covered most of the stage, gave birth, first to an elegantly placed stiletto heel, then gradually revealed a sensuous fish net stocking cov­ ered leg. As the song continued the one erotic maiden evolved into three women and a man, who all came forth from the dress to dance and then returned back under the flowing parachute as the song faded into the sound of the night. “It’s one of those shows where some people know the songs, but they just don’t know,” said Halsey D. Corbin, a film­ maker from North Park, San Diego, elaborating on the imag­ inative qualities of the perfor­ mance. “It was a very erotic show, everything a concert should be. They definitely know their stuff” said Chris “Blizzard” Layua, a first time attendee from South County. One interestingly different quality to this show was the fact that Farrell, who normally ends up butt naked, actually added clothing throughout the perfor­ mance. From his living dress to a pirate suit to a wide-brimmed purple hat and sparkly suit, Far­ rell waded through many faces of the Jane’s Addiction Hallow­ een dream. With the exception of the bassist, all the original band members are on this year’s tour. The majesty of the band is exemplified by the fact that all the members have other projects going. Dave Navarro, the guitar player, is fresh off a tour with his self-titled solo band. Steve Per­ kins, the drummer, has a side project band, Banyan. Then there is Farrell, who occupies his time with many facets of political activism, along with creating Lalapalooza in the early 1990s, and touring with his other successful band, Pornos for Pyros. But, he was also heavily involved with this year’s Coachella Music and Arts Festi­ val. “Here’s to courage, here’s to music, here’s to tuberiding, here’s to you...” raged Farrell as the band stepped to the front of the stage, after an intense session of tribal drumming and vocal exploration, and bid everyone farewell.

M t r a t , tm ci ins i ALMOST ALWAYS c o m p e l l in g” . mmwm �The Boo & Mee Cafe You Don’ Have to Go out t Is a Delight to Eat Good Mexican Food By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor By KEVIN FRISK Pride Staff Writer Just a mile-and-a-half from campus, on San Marcos Bou­ levard, sits a delightfully inex­ pensive Japanese food restaurant called the Boo & Mee Cafe. One of the best kept secrets of the San Marcos eatery scene, this restaurant offers a wide variety of delectable traditional dishes, as well as items more suited for the typical American palate. And while the taste is excep­ tional, the price offers a better incentive for those who watit to sample the cuisine. The average meal ranges between $3.25 and $6.25, tax included. The Boo & Mee Cafe is owned and operated by an older Japanese woman, who many affectionately refer to as “Obachan,” (grandmother in Jap­ anese.) She and her daughter serve as the chefs, waitresses, and busboys. Despite the sometimes-long wait, regular customers keep on coming back for more. The reason for this, explained Hideki Yoshida, a regular customer and CSUSM student, is the authentic quality of the food. “This is the best Japanese food that I have had since leaving Japan. It tastes almost as good as my mother’s cooking,” said Yoshida. Customers have the option of an entree menu and a bowl menu. All entrees come with a small side salad, miso soup, and rice, making these selections an exceptional value. The best value, however, comes with the bowl menu. With the bowl menu, patrons may fill themselves with a delicious meal, without damag­ ing their pocketbooks. With the price of the bowl menu around $4, items such as the salmon teriyaki or the fried pork cutlet may sound even more enticing REVIEW to customers. For first-timers, I recom­ mend Katsudon, a bowl item of breaded and fried pork cutlet over a bed of rice and egg, or Gyudon, a bowl of seasoned beef served over rice and carmelized onions. Some of the bowl selec­ tions even come with a side order, like miso soup or salad. From the entree menu, I sug­ gest the grilled mackerel fish (saba), or the shrimp and vege­ table tempura combination, both of which are reasonably priced at $4.25 apiece. Also an excel­ lent choice for the first-timer is the fried calamari steak (squid), which is served, as all entrees in this establishment are, with a side salad, miso soup, and a side of rice. The only downside to this quality restaurant is the limited hours that it is open. Closed on Sundays, the Boo & Mee Caf6 is open for dine-in or take-out lla.m.-3 p.m., Monday through Saturday. And while this might not be a convenient schedule for those who attend night classes, it provides an excellent respite from the blandness of cafeteria food for students who have a lunch break between classes or who finish up classes earlier in the day. To reach the Boo & Mee Cafe from campus, take Twin Oaks Valley Road to San Marcos Blvd., where you then make a left and head west. Less than two miles down the street, on the right-hand side, is the cafe at 844 West San Marcos Bou­ levard, nestled between Fitness for Her and the Villanueva Taco Shop. t+ % S «klc...0*ly $ Recipe for chiles rellenos Ingredients needed: 2-3 chiles poblanos (peppers) Cheese, tuna or shredded meat 1 tomato Clove of garlic Small piece of onion Oil 2 eggs Flour Salt Prepare and cook the chiles. Roast the chiles, and then peel the skin off. Cut a line through the chiles to remove the seeds, but make sure they are clean. Insert the cheese or tuna (or whatever else you are using), then close and cover it with flour. Beat two eggs; first beat the egg white until it rises and looks like foam, and then add the yolk. Mix them together for 30 seconds and then gently dip the chiles into mix. Place the skillet on the stove, and set the stove to a medium temperature with enough oil in the skillet to cook your chiles. Set the chiles in the skillet and let them cook until they look light brown. Make sure you cook both sides. Once they are cooked, set them aside on a flat plate with a paper towel underneath, so that the oil gets absorbed and is not too greasy. Have tomato sauce ready. To make your own: cut the tomatoes in half, put them in a blender, add water, garlic, onion, and then blend. Set a pot on the stove at a low-medium temperature, add the tomato sauce, and let it boil. Add salt. Just before it starts to boil, add the chiles. Let it boil for two minutes. Make sure you measure the ingredients appropriately to the amount of chiles you are making. For a better meal, have rice and beans ready. Serve al gusto and enjoy. Don’t forget the com tortillas, and a cold beverage. Serves two to three people.

Battle of the Sexes: Surnames By JUSTIN ANDREWS and KIM BOYARSKY your wife’s last name, make women equal and the world will be a better place? What about world hunger, terrorism, or crooked politicians? These are just some of the issues that take precedence over female domination. Kim: I think that it is completely unfair to expect women to change their last names in order to con­ form fo what males want. Society’ s standards towards women are com­ pletely outdated and there is a desperate need to restructure. I ’ m keeping my last name on my wed­ ding day, and my husband will take mine. I plan to have my future hus­ band change his last name to mine; - there is no way that I will take part in this Stone Age behavior. Justin: Listen, women have a place in the world as well as men. Any woman is capable of any­ thing, but you are talking about reversing simple frivolous cultural details. It would needlessly compli­ cate our entire system. How do you expect every letter that used to be addressed “Mr. and Mrs. So-andso” to conform to your scheme and be changed to “Mr. So-and-so and Mrs. Blabs-her-mouth.” “Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so” works fine, it’s easy. Kim; First o ff I never said both genders in a marriage would keep their names; letters would be addressed as “ Mrs. and Mr. Blabsher-mouth Justin: Oh, okay. So then the man would take your last name? Kim: O f course. Justin: So, Ms. Blabs-her-mouth, Kim: Not really, everyproblem has a root, a place where the problem could be eliminated if certain cir­ cumstances were addressed before: the trouble escalated. matter o f what kind o f man, it’ s a simple step away from a sexist society. I f you truly want the world to be a better place, take your wife’ last name. s Justin: That’s it huh? Just take Letter to the Editors: I just wanted you to know that the ASI has made a huge oversight on deciding what is to be “sold” on campus. Two days ago, I perused the stand that had flat metal advertisements for sale. As I went through them, I couldn’t help but notice the dis­ gusting large plaques that had “pickaninny” pictures of African Americans on them. One had a Buckwheat-looking guy holding a large, red piece of watermelon on it. Another had some gross caricature of an African Ameri­ can on it with the words, “Dem Sho Am great” written on it. The list goes on. Just to see how students would respond, I placed them conspicuously in front of the stacks so that there was no way to miss them, and I walked away. They were so horrendous that you would have to be blind not to see the buffoonery they made of blacks. The thing is that they were real advertisements. So today I decided to say something to the guy who was selling them. I literally asked him (loudly) why he “was selling that shit?” Some broad (prob­ ably staff) told me to quit being so “rude,” at which point I asked her what was ruder, the guy selling these strange racist and demeaning plaques or the word “shit” (at which point I said problems such as starving children, over-population, capitalistic greed, HIV, our dying natural environ­ ment or a slew of other problems? Kim: Justin, problems have cata­ lysts and they work in circular chains which interlink, affecting everything around them. Our dying natural environment is caused by capitalistic greed and overpopula­ tion which, in turn, depletes the world’ food supply causing hun­ s ger. The root of all these problems are the men that cause them, and are too stubborn to let a woman take the reins and guide the world f or a change. Justin: You’re reaching, what you need to realize is that most men, myself included, are not going to simply give upt their family name to make their wives happy. The fact of the matter is, the world’s prob­ lems are not as simple as giving females’ dominance to solve men’s mistakes. If you understand a circu­ lar chain of problems that interlink, then you’ll definitely understand that one problem leads to another and if women ruled the world, who knows what we’d be in for. “shit” twice). The bastard selling the stuff said he had a “right’’ to do so, and basically summed up his argument on the basis of “free trade.” He added, “Well, black people buy this stuff.” What is that supposed to mean? White people have been known to buy Nazi memorabilia, but does that make it any more right? I then asked him if he had any Nazi memorabilia which I could buy. If he had the “right” to sell racist crap why didn’t he have any Nazi stuff? That broad then told me to join the military (for some strange reason). At that point I informed her that I already did three years in the army. I could see that I was getting nowhere with these sorry excuses for human beings. I was pissed. After all that, I went to the president’s office to talk with him about the situation, and was patronizingly told to go see the ASI. I did, and some young nerd in a cheap suit disingenuously stuck his hand in my face trying to shake my hand. I didn’t know the guy, so I declined. When I asked how the ASI gave this guy the o k. to sell this stuff, the guy responded by saying that they could not check all of his items. Is that the same logic that the security guards had when they allowed the bombers to hijack the air­ planes? When I told them that if they didn’t do something about the situation I would go to the local and campus paper, they sprang into action. I was afraid that if I didn’t say that, they would blow me off. Anyways, at least the ASI guys in suits went outside to look at the items. But then an even bigger scene erupted when two vendors tried to jump my shit. I told the broad to get out of my face and she said she wanted to spit on it. I admonished her by saying, “you’re from the 60s you should know better.” My main points are these: 1. That the ASI was more concerned about being exposed for not doing better quality con­ trol or being concerned about what is sold on campus, than actually doing better screening. 2. That The Pride is the only independent (and without any special interests that they, are beholden to) outlet for the student body to get any griev­ ances voiced. 3. That the wide berth that the various campus agencies give to the school newspaper is so important, that I hope that you guys continue to expose all the bullshit and hypocrisy that this campus abounds in.

Dear Pride Editors, First of all, I want to apolo­ gize to all of you about the late­ ness of this information due to personal circumstances beyond my control. I realize that you will probably receive this infor­ mation too late to print in the correct edition. Yet, I think it is important that I relay this information to you anyway. On Mon. Oct. 15 MEChA president Isabel Solis and Sylvia White helped organize a studentoperated tamale table, and had the Latino Music Radio Station, KLQV-Kluv, come out for stu­ dents at the Dome plaza from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ASI really appreciated MEChA’s assistance and partici­ pation in putting on this event to help commemorate Latino/ Latina Heritage Month. On Wed. Oct. 17, ASI Programming put on a Latino/Latino Food Festival at the Dome plaza from 11a.m. to 1 p.m. However, due to last minute circumstances beyond the ASI Programming Committee’s con­ trol, we were unable to bring local Latino/Latina food ven­ dors up to our campus with food samples for students as we had originally planned. Therefore, my committee’s concession chair, along with the vice-chair, set up a free nachos table, compliments of ASI,- for students, faculty, and staff at the event. Also, the Latin rock band “Emaue” played on stage for everyone’s enjoyment. Finally, ASI was proud to present Silverio Haro as a guest speaker at this special Latino/ Latina Heritage Month event. Silvario Haro is newly appointed to the Palomar College Board of Trustees, the first Latino in over a decade. He is currently finishing up course work on his doctorate from Harvard and is the graduate adviser at CSUSM. He is a definite friend of the stu­ dents and ASI and we were hon­ ored to have him contribute to a worthy and beneficial event. Thank you for your interest and support. As the new pro­ gramming committee chair, I feel it is important to make myself accessible to The Pride and CSUSM’s students as well as to my fellow ASI programming committee members. Thank you very much for your interest and support with regards to ASI Programming. Sincerely, Eddie Goan ASI Programming Chair �Men’ Soccer s Team Concludes Fall Season ..

Both the play­ ers and coach Khalid Al-shafie agreed that this season was a good learning experience. “We learned teamwork and how to build better communi­ cation,” said Antonio Zepeda, ar junior majoring in liberal stud­ ies. “But we need more players for tryouts next season.” Al-shafie said he believed the team needed to work on attend­ ing more practices and condition­ ing themselves for next season. He added, “Some of the things I learned from this season were to look for more players and to be more demanding, as far as com­ mitment.” Compared to last year, how­ ever, he said the team has improved. “Last year, we didn’t win any games,” laughed Alshafie. The team played their last game of the season on Sunday, against USC. The score was not available by press time.

Al-shafie reflecting on the season, said, “I think we could have worked harder. It’s frustrat­ ing to get players to show up to practice.” „ Zepeda expressed his dis­ appointment that sofne CSUSM students, faculty, and staff did not know about the men’s soccer team. “I hoped that our school and ASI would spread the word a little bit more, putting up more banners and posters saying that we have a soccer team, because there are some people that still don’t know that we have a soccer team,” he said. “Come down and support us whenever the team is playing home; we represent you.” Al-shafie has many plans for the team’s future. “Our plans Matt Higley placed 20th; 222 points Ryan Axlund placed 45th; 229 points Kellon Wagoner placed 51st; 23l points Nick Micheli placed 54th; 233 points Ryan Rancatore placed 75th; 242 points for next season are to win more than four games, to build team rhythm, and to be consistent by Cal State San Marcos9 women’s golf team finished in eighth place after two rounds on Oct. 23. having 90 percent of the players from this season come back for next season,” he said. “Keep The Cougars competed against eight teams at the Cal State Northridge your eyes open for tryouts next Matador Fall Classic and shot a final score of 687 on the River Ridge Golf Course in Oxnard, Calif.

S ' Undocumented Student Bill under Review with CSU » A rticle cont. from pg. 3 The governor’s approval gives hard-working California immi­ grant students an opportunity to achieve their dreams and con­ tribute meaningfully to our soci­ ety.” Currently, this bill will only affect the CSU and the com­ munity college systems that sup­ ported the bill. The bill does not include the Universities of California; however, the UC Board of Regents is expected to vote on this measure. Heckman confirmed that the bill would go into effect January 2002. The bill does not provide financial aid for students. “There’s no financial aid provi­ sion in this bill. It only includes in-state fees,” said Paul Phillips, director of the university’s finan­ cial aid office. Lawmakers, however, still need to clarify the AB540 bill. “The CSU Board of Trustees will sit down to discuss these issues in a few more weeks,” said Heckman. At this time, CSUSM offi­ cials do not know how the new bill will be put into effect. “I am waiting for a memo from the Chancellor’s office to know how the CSUs would enact the bill,” said Heckman, whose office of Registration and Records is responsible for checking appli­ cants’ residence statuses. In addition, there are some requirements that students need to fulfill to become eligible to pay the in-state fees. First, students must have attended a California high school for at least three years. Second, they must graduate from a California high school. Third, they need to begin or have begun their higher education by fall 2001. Fourth, students need to sign a statement stating that they have applied for permanent resident status at the Immigration and Naturalization Services, or that they will do so as soon as they become eligible. “They need to prove that they are in the process of becoming legal residents prior to the sign­ ing of this statement,” said Phil­ lips. Heckman also added that since the day the bill passed, the office of admissions has received many phone calls from high school counselors who want more information about this new law.

With the initial state of emergency having dissipated, South- CSUSM steps up emergency preparedness ern California residents and state officials are now moving into a recovery phase. This past week, fire fighters continued battling the remaining flames. As of Thursday, Nov. 1, only the Poomacha and Santiago fires continued to burn in California of the 23 fires that plagued the state less than a week ago. In regards to the two remaining fires, fire officials expected full containment by Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 respectively. With evacuations lifted this past week, homeowners and city officials began assessing damages.

As part of an effort to provide all possible emergency preparedness resources to students, faculty, and staff, Emergency Management activated the MIR3 IN (Intelligent Notification) system. The system allows students, faculty, and staff to be notified of an emergency through a variety of means. According to an e-mail sent out by the Office of Communications to all students, "MIR3 IN has been thoroughly tested and was scheduled to be implemented last week." The e-mail went on to explain, "Although the wildfires prevented implementation, the need for a comprehensive emergency notification system has been underscored by recent events." Notifications can be sent in the form of SMS text messages, calls to cell phones, and calls to home phones; with users having the ability to choose desired forms of notification based on the information they provide. With this new system, users will be able to update their secure notification contact information online at anytime. Participation in the program is not automatic and is entirely voluntary. For those interested in the program, simply go to the Emergency Management website (http://www.csusm.edu/ep/ Alert) and follow the brief registration instructions. Sherray Blythe leads a group of students in re-establishing Black student organization. BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer For African-American students at Cal State San Marcos, the Black Student Union is the only group devoted to bringing together the African-American community on campus. Until recently, the BSU, a vital resource for an already underrepresented minority at CSUSM, had come to a standstill and ceased to be. However, students at CSUSM have recently mobilized to revive the dormant organization. Lead by Sherray Blythe, the newly restored group held its first meeting on Oct. 17. Blythe, the new BSU president and an active member in several campus organizations, said, "It [BSU] has been up before, but people never went to meetings." Senior, Dominique Younger, characterized the previous CSUSM women's soccer first ever playoff game BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM women's soccer made history Wednesday, as the Cougars defeated Concordia in the first playoff appearance in the program's two-year history. In just the 15th minute, Taylor Ziencina scored from 18-yards out over Concordia goal keeper, Suzanne Torres thanks to an Annica Perez assist, to give the Cougars the early 1-0 lead. In the 52nd minute, Ziencina struck again on a penalty kick. Concordia bounced back, and just three minutes later, scored their only goal of the game, bringing the score to 2-1. The Cougars defense held strong throughout the game, proving to be the guiding light en route to the program's most important win ever. The win meant the Cougars would go up against the #2 ranked Azusa Pacific team that they faced earlier in the season, losing by a score of 1-0. The stage was set for yet another upset Friday, as the Cougars made the trip to Azusa to face a team that was undeSee SOCCER, page 3 attempt at the BSU as "not a financially stable situation." Younger also attributed the previous failure of the BSU to a lack of activity.

With the entire infrastructure of the previous BSU left bare, the first order of business at the Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride meeting was the nomination of willing individuals to fill vacant executive and administrative positions.

The Cougars patience paid off, as they placed first, punching their ticket to the National Championships. Seniors Juan Mejia and Sergio Gonzalez led the CSUSM pack, much in the way they have done for the majority of the season. Mejia finished third overall with a time of 24:50. Gonzalez finished just five seconds back, with a time of 24:55. The Cougars had a strong showing from senior transfer, Sean Brosnan, who finished 12th overall with a time of 25:31. Freshmen, Alex Guaderama and Patrick Fitzgerald had strong showings in the middle of the pack that were key to the overall victory.

According to the San Diego Union Trine, state officials plan to pay for 75 rcent of debris removal efforts and the y of San Diego will pay the remaining percent for those uninsured. During lews conference Thursday in Rancho rnardo, San Diego mayor, Jerry Sanders, urged people in the community to sign up for the project in order to speed up the removal process. "The program will make sure that homeowners are protected from scam artists and make sure that their properties are cleaned up in an environmentally proper way," said Mayor Sanders. On Oct. 28, the Chargers hosted a home game at Qualcomm stadium, which just days prior housed more than an estimated 10,000 evacuees according to numbers released at the City of San Diego website. Fans donated more than $72,500 at the game and the donations were immediately handed over to the Salvation Army and family members of injured firefighters. According to the Associated Press, the NFL and NFL Players Association will donate $250,000 through a disaster relief fund, which will directly aid victims of the San Diego wildfires. Celebrities Gwen Stefani and David Beckham also offered donations of their own. Singer Gwen Stefani held a concert in San Diego on Oct. 30 and donated all proceeds from the concert to the San Diego Foundation, a local charity helping victims of the Southern California wildfires. "When I heard about the devastation of the fires, at first I felt I should cancel my show out of respect, but then it occurred to me there might be a more useful solution," Stefani said Oct. 29, in a radio interview.

"We feel invisible here on campus," said Sherray Blythe. One of the main concerns at the meeting was increasing the visibility of the BSU at CSUSM. Students suggested reaching out to the community and local high schools to promote the presence of a united African-American community at CSUSM. They also hope to draw more CSUSM students into the group. Because the group is still in its infancy, ironing out the financial situation was also a hot topic on the meeting's agenda. Danyelle, a sophomore, suggested the group look into "creative ways to do fundraising." Apart from the logistical issues covered at the meeting, students were also attentive to the overall welfare of the newly reformed BSU and its members. "We should come together,".said one student, emphasizing the need for "team building activities." The group also communicated intentions to meet and connect with other BSU's as one of many things in store for the future of the BSU. Building on this new momentum, the BSU stands poised to become a prominent presence on campus. The BSU encourages interested students to attend the weekly meetings on Thursdays during University Hour in Library 1111. ¡§ 11:15<4:10PM suspedLprmd 4 ! 1 0 /16|af 1 0:30AM- ' Mlfcc^M -gSj e ^trylrttoi 2 doorHonda JJgjJ | . in l |ff9pri unknown ^ a ^ c t ^ kmedmjot P, ai^'^tempted 21 bro|e icig) a vehicle Osteal vehicfepjf h btwfe^ I a window, but no propëi^was ^p^SrAaf^je d S S ^ ' . s totóril'T^ìy^ j gj •0/18/0l5:25PM lj OaksJ V^l^oplgoffl^p c^tact^B oi ¡2 3 n d i | & i n a Ä 2 | & y o t | Ä ( ¡TtfSfe, SSmrSÊm 1mm ^ ^ S ^ HÄ ptMsmädn p f ^ j ^ g M ^ ™ ^ t wjndMduais w è f ^ ^ ^ p n d * M ù i B,an officer i û m m 2 :00AM A p p l ^ ^ e i p ooifiputertmm^the J individuals \n é^ehicte, a n ^ ^ University Bookstore. f he value foïowedthem on to è &iïgm^ is An 'mm i t | | g | * ¡¡¡¡¡¡I ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡J j1| 8 :20AM-5:30PM m$e • f 2 000 ftldKCivicp a ri^dM'ot < Chavez steps, 1 0/16/071:00AM In paridng lot <X an officer encountered a male under the age of 21, andfoundhim to be in possession of aicxjilii l ^ w a r , j not cited, b utle was referred to I : -'|fe:Peart of S tudentS^^W^M _ In lot N, an officer on bike patrol contacted a couple thai were them over for & traffic vioiatói, * ^ arguing.

Chargers record now 4 - 4 after losing to the Vikings on Sunday BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday's game fresh off of a heartwarming victory last week in fire ravaged San Diego. The Chargers stepped onto the field in Minnesota, Sunday looking to capitalize on a 2-5 Vikings team that has already seen its ups and downs. Vikings rookie running back, Adrian Peterson stood between the Chargers, and their hopes of winning their fourth straight game. Peterson, one of the highest touted rookies drafted in April, saw huge success at the University of Oklahoma, where he set the NCAA freshman rushing record with 1,925 yards en route to nearly winning the Heisman Trophy. While the Chargers scored f irst, on a LaDainian Tomlinson rush, the real story was the p erformance of Peterson. Peterson rushed his way into the record books, passing Jamal Lewis by one yard for first all-time rushing yards in a game, with 296 yards. Peterson first struck near the two-minute mark in the first quarter on a short rush to the left. Despite Peterson's performance, the biggest highlight came at the end of the second quarter, when Viking's kicker, Ryan Longwell missed a 57-yard field goal. Waiting in the end zone was Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who caught CLASSIFIEDS "Loòkmg tohire individual to write a weekly column on ^Wodààtìoa Techaoïogy" its i ters, andtocómepotential.

Minnesota came back strong in third quarter, tying the game at 14-14, as Peterson rushed for a 64 yard field goal. Minnesota scored again, this time through the air, as quarterback Brooks Bollinger passed to wide receiver, Sidney Rice for a 40 yard touchdown. The Chargers scored their last points early on in the fourth quarter, on a 36-yard, Nate Kaeding field goal. Adrian Peterson scored once again for the Vikings, this time, at 7:44 in the fourth, rushing for 46 yards. Vikings back up running back, Chester Taylor scored on a two yard rush with 4:28 remaining in the game, to solidify the victory. The final score was 35-17 Vikings, in a game that saw two all-time NFL records get shattered. The Vikings, relying heavily on the success of Peterson, improve their record to 3-5. The loss brings the Chargers to an even 4-4 record, with the pivotal part of the season knocking on the door. The Chargers face the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday on Sunday Night Football at 5:15 p.m. on NBC. The Colts are fresh off of their first loss of the season, Sunday, losing to the now 9-0 New England Patriots.

The city of Washington D.C. is actually a place to visit if you enjoy cool weather and, of course, the history of the foundation of our country. The city, masked by the White House and Capital building, is one of those places where one would find something to do, even for those who may break into a rash by the thought of a history lesson. With a wide variety of pubs, restaurants and night clubs, there is something to do for everyone. However, if you are like me and enjoy a good travel back in time, Washington D.C. is a place where you must go at least once in your life time. The most obvious attraction is the White House, where the President and First Lady live. Scores of tourists visit this site every day, as well as its usual batch of anti-Bush protesters. However, while the White House is the icon of the city, its most interesting attractions reside in the National Mall. One must-see spot is the Washington Monument, built in the 1800's in memory of George Washington. It stands more than 500 feet tall, surrounded by American Flags. On any given day one can visit inside the monument and experience the tributes to the nation's first president. To the west of the Washington Monument lies the Reflecting Pool, a wide rectangular pool leading westward to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. The Lincoln Memorial is one the most breath-taking monuments in the National Mall.

Then there is the egotistical Kobe who was put in his place by Lakers fans when he was booed during introductions opening night. Fans eventually opened up to Kobe as he once again carried the team to a loss. When I saw the introductions to the game and heard the fans booing him, it brought a huge smile on my face. After everything that Kobe has done: forced Shaq out of LA, bought his freedom in Colorado and now demanding a trade from "his" team. Here is some advice for Kobe. Grow Up! Make some sacrifices for once. You can carry a team to a T or 8 seed, but you aren't going to do much more. Since the Lakers were unable to bring any named players in the offseason to you, you are now forced to ask for a trade and deplete a new team. Have you ever thought that BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer With so many rumors and signings occurring this week, it seems only right for me to praise Tim Duncan and belittle the selfish A-Rod and Kobe Bryant. I will start by talking about A-Rod and how he choose the biggest day in his sport to announce that he is opting out of his contract. A-Rod showed no respect for the game, the Boston Red Sox, and the World Series - something that he has never played for. A-Rod rejected an offer by the New York Yankees because they failed to offer a prerequisite of $350 million starting bid. Now A-Rod will be looking to capitalize on potential buyers, which seems to only be the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at this time as the Dodgers are unlikely to increase a payroll for a single player when they have a stingy owner who h th you are the reason that no one came to your team this offseason.

But Kobe, if you want to learn how to build a dynasty around yourself, ask Duncan. Duncan once again took a pay cut for his team's future. Duncan just signed a twoyear, $40 million contract extension. Duncan saved the Spurs $10 million a year which will help keep role players as well as bring in other role players. This $10 million pay cut allows the Spurs room to defend their Championship and keeps their dynasty intact. Any comments or questions can be sent to me at churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu. Blood, Sweat, Tears, Christmas in October BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer Do you know when Christmas starts? Historically, Chflstmas falls on December 25 . Some people celebrate the twelve days of Christmas, or get an advent calendar and count down all the days in December, while doing things like listening to the world's most annoying songs while watching Family Channel holiday movies. You know, I hate the people with advent calendars. Eat your little Christmas tree shaped piece of chocolate every day and shut up. And in case I wasn't angry enough at the 'month o' Christmas' people, I always end up walking into one of those stores that plays "Frosty the Snowman" on a consistent loop starting on Thanksgiving.

Silem Mohammad Flarfpoety gives CSUSM a post Halloween Trick or Treat BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer "When Snoopy goes Hawaiian, is it art?" A shrewd philosophical question posed by contemporary poet K. Silem Mohammad during his reading Thursday Nov. 1 at Cal State San Marcos. Mohammad, author of poetic collections "Deer Head Nation", "A Thousand Devils", and "Breathalyzer", is an associate professor of language, literature, and philosophy at Southern Oregon University. Most notably, however, Mohammad is a key participant in theflarfpoetry movement. While difficult to pinpoint an exact definition, flarf is a fairly new trend in poetry today that focuses on the use of Internet search engines to find and piece together quirky phrases. The end result becomes a purposely disturbing and oftentimes humorous assemblage of nonsense. In Mohammad's own words, flarf itself is "essentially/a method of collage unlike any other." Poet Gary Sullivan first used the term flarf as part of the title of an intentionally bad poem he submitted to Poetry.com in order to test the standards of the publication. Soon after, the Flarflist Collective, a group of writers, including Mohammad and Sullivan, formed. According to Mohammad, the flarf movement originated out of sheer boredom. "It was something to do when you're supposed to be working. A way to avoid facing real life," Mohammad said. For his part, Mohammad kept much ofhis browsing exclusively to Google, com. When asked about his choice in poetic devices, he confessed, "The Google thing is like an addiction. I'm not proud of it." He joked. "I'm like the poster child. Don't let this happen to you." In Mohammad's defense, why bother looking elsewhere when the popular search engine rendered such peculiar lines in the first place? In his poem "Exorcist Voice", Mohammad read, "O.M.G. Your hair is so Jurassic Park," and the poem "Anti Ass" included the line, "Your butt is like a performance car, baby. Uber hotness, like, I don't know." Mohammad's words read strange on paper but as a performance piece, they transformed into a rare interpretive art that left the audience laughing out loud one minute and deep in thought the next. His shift in tone, volume, accent and speed further accentuated humor throughout the evening. In his upcoming book, Dutch Sound, the poem Bionic Iraqis reads "No. I am not okay. You sat on me. Oh well. Enough about me." It's difficult to ignore the controversial nature to Mohammad's choice in poetic titles and content. This poet revels in it, choosing shock value as yet another poetic device. Anything political, contentious, vulgar, or shamefully humorous is fair game in the writings of K. Silem Mohammad. The poet however manages his work with class. No matter how shocking one line may be, the following could potentially have an insightful twist. That ability in itself is exactly what generates such a following for theflarfmovement and Mohammad's poems. The final Community and World Literary Series event this semester is Thursday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. in Academic Hall 102. The event will feature readings from native California poet, Joanne Kyger.

Non-fiction Jonah Lehrer "Proust was a Neuroscientist" Photo courtesy ofAmazon.com BY BRYANT TINTLE Pride Staff Writer I must admit that I am a procrastinator when it comes to school work. Instead of doing my Spanish homework, I decided to do something else that took up my time. For a lot of my college time, my main distracter was "Guitar Hero". And with "Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock" out for a week now, I can expect my homework to be "forgotten" yet again. In case you've been living under a rock (no pun intended)* for the last year, Guitar Hero is a video game where you use a guitar controller and must hit the fret buttons and strum in time with the song. The first notable thing about the game is the wireless guitar. In the old games, I was always afraid that I would accidentally pull the guitar too hard and disconnect it. Let those fears be put to bed. Now with a wireless guitar, I can freely walk around the room while still rocking out. Another new feature is the co-op career mode. Not only does this mode break down the songs into guitar and bass so that two players can play together, but this is also the only way to unlock certain songs. However, don't fret (again, no pun intended) if you don't have any friends willing to rock out with you, as the single player career mode is still available. The songs featured in this edition cover many aspects of the "rock" genre. If classic rock is your cup of tea, then enjoy the hits "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns n' Roses and "La Grange" by ZZ Top. If metal is your favorite, than head-bang to "One" by Metallica and "The Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden. Or enjoy the modern hits like "Miss Murder" by AFI and "When You Were Young" by The Killers. So, whether you are a fan of the original "Guitar Hero" games, or just a fan of rocking out to great music, I suggest picking this gem up before the gods of rock take it back.

Do you enjoy fabulous storytelling? Do you want to beat the crap out of every person who rushed to see Saw IV the minute it came out? If so, then shell out a couple of bucks to see "American Gangster", starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Based on a true story, the film focuses on the rise and eventual downfall of Frank Lucas, who became a leader of the Harlem drug scene in the late '60s and early '70s. The film does an advis® school job excellent job of portraying a man who is capable of incredibly violent acts, while at the same time caring for his family and running a business. After coming up with an innovative way to get high quality heroin at a bargain price, he brings his entire family into his crime empire, basing it on "honesty, integrity, hard work, never forgetting where we came from." Played with a fine mixture of emotions and appropriate amount of stoicism by Washington, Frank Lucas makes drug running sound like a more decent profession, with better practices, than working for most major corporations. (Hey, isn't it a toss up fair as to whether one would be better off dealing drugs or working for the corporate sector of Walmart?) Like any good crime drama, there's an equal focus on those trying to stop the criminals. Russell Crowe is Richie Roberts, a cop who remains clean in New York City, an almost impossible feat during that era. His dedication to his job, and dogged pursuance of Lucas, take a toll on his personal life, and the audience begins to feel a modicum of pity for him. Admirably, Crowe doesn't play the part as pitiful; he simply plays a man on the edge, who needs a solid victory against crime to jus- tify the righteousness he exhibits. Critics have said that the film only truly develops the two main characters. This is, for the most part, true. Several smaller characters in both Lucas' and Roberts' orbit are still infused with passion though, and without them, the personal interactions Beer of the we e K w eek Oktoberfest BY JONATHAN THOMPSON taste and more alcohol.

The brewery began when Chris Cramer and Matt Rattner co-founded Karl Strauss Brewing Company in February of 1989. In the I summer of 1988, Chris ¡visited Fremantle, Australia and became fascinated with micro brewing. He returned f rom the vacation and began discussing plans with Matt to open their own micro brewery. Fortunately, C hris' uncle Karl Strauss had extensive knowledge in brewing beer. Karl Strauss was a renowned German brewmaster and knew the business of beer. Pastel yellow and blue hues dominate the cardboard container of Oktoberfest. A colorful scene of energetic and happy people enjoying themselves and healthy servings of beer marks the main portrait of the packaging. The scene most likely depicts a common sight during Oktoberfest. A red bottle cap with the breweries logo seals a 12 ounce beer with a 4.9 percent alcohol by volume. The dark golden amber beer pours smooth like a running creek and generates a quarter inch thick head. The beer has a pleasantly faint aroma that sooths the soul. The beer enters the mouth and quickly resonates with the taste buds. For a second or two the beer floods all aspects of the mouth with powerful surges of spiciness from the hops. A dry tingling sensation lingers as the beer trickles down the t hroat The distinguished tasteful sip creates anxiety within the brain as the brain craves for more of the now famed beer. The seasonal beer should disappear like a magician's trick from store shelves in the following weeks. Images courtesy of Universal Studios on which the film is built would feel empty. As I said, the sign of a good crime drama is a clear focus on both the criminals and those trying to apprehend them. The sign of a great crime drama is one that has half the audience, or more, rooting for the 'bad guy'. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Global warming, explained Professor Vouriitis, is a natural phenomenon. The Earth is much warmer than can be accounted for by its proximity to the sun. Carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere from microorganisms living under the soil and as a bi-product of plant respiration. This carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun, thus warming the planet. Since approximately 1850, however, levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide have risen from a steady 250 parts per million to current levels of 350-36$ parts per million. Vouriitis emphasized that this rise in carbon dioxide levels coincides almost exactly with the advent of the Industrial Revolution and a dramatic increase in the combustion of petroleum-based fuels. The "smoking gun," to use Vouriitis' term, implicates human activity in global warming and lies in chemical analysis of atmospheric, carbon dioxide. Plants and microorganisms Candidates Hold Forum at CSUSM »Article cont. from page 1 Not everyone in the audience, however, was a CSUSM student. Retiree Jack Jeffries came to the forum to hear how die candidates stood on the issue of senior citizens and their prescription medication payments. Some of the other issues that were discussed were abortion and health insurance for college students. Carol Herrera, whose husband, John, is seeking the 74 assembly seat, said, "I thought the forum was a marvelous opportunity to get the views of the candidates. It let's the young people think through the views of today." Candidate John Herrera echoed his wife's comments by saying, "I'm happy to be at this forum. These are the future leaders of our community. Things are going to change for the better, but only if students get involved." Mr. Herrera closed by saying, "I'd definitely like to see more forums like these." George Barraza, who is running against Duke Cunningham for the 51 Congressional District, felt CSUSM was an excellent setting for talking with the voters. "I think it's a n ideal forum, especially since students are educated and well informed. Hopefully th st produce carbon dioxide with a heavy Carbon-13 atom. Carbon dioxide produced by the combustion of petroleum fuels produces a light Carbon-12 atom. At this point, scientists have verified that the recent increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are made up of carbon dioxide molecules containing the light Carbon-12 atom. This analysis is so precise at the molecular level that scientists have been able to trace excess carbon dioxide in the Alaskan atmosphere to a specific type of coal burned in antiquated Eastern European furnaces. Global warming research in Alaska The arctic regions provide the optimum conditions for Vouriitis' research due to their ultra-sensitivity to changes in temperature. These regions represent a climatic "canary in a coal mine," to use his turn of phrase. This sensitivity allowed Vouriitis to study a subtler phenomenon of global warming. As temperatures rise, the Arctic permafrost emits more carbon dioxide due to the increased activity of organisms living underground. Eventually, this increased emission overtakes the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by plants during photosynthesis. This excess carbon dioxide results in further warmforums like this will occur earlier and will become the requirement for candidates." Congressional candidate Bourdette urged the students to vote, "Most of the young people age 18 to 22 don't vote. In the last election Bill Clinton only received 37 million votes. You represent a huge block of voters if you'd only get together in your own self interests." Robin Milch, ASI Vice President for External Affairs, organized the public assembly and also served as the moderator for the open forum. Milch kept the forum running smoothly, even when some lively sparring occurred between congressional candidate Barraza and Durckel, who was there to represent Cunningham. The mud slinging hapipened after Barraza was asked by a student what he would change if elected. Barraza said he would be more responsive to local problems. " During the energy crisis, Bob Filner came back from Washington, so did Brian Bilbray. He [Cunningham] couldn't find time to leave then and he isn't here now either. He just doesn't care." Durckel countered with, "Congressman Cunningham couldn't be here because he is busy working on the federal budget." He then made a comment about Barraza's aggressiveness. Barraza wasted little time in retaking the podium, and even accused Cunningham of being physically abusive while serving in Congress. The candidate forum, hosted by ASI, and was also recorded by KDCI-TV (Oceanside Public Channel 17). ing and takes on a kind of "snowball effect". Vouriitis' research verified that this phenomenon was, in fact, taking place in Northern Alaska. This research also revealed a more startling and previously only hypothesized trend of global warming. Over a period of years, Vouriitis was able to ~ observe arctic plant life increasing their uptake of carbon dioxide, apparently in response to increases in nutrient availability caused by long-term global warming. The plants seem to be evolving in response to the selection .pressures of global warming. More accurately, and even more striking, the Arctic ecosystem itself seems to be trying to reestablish equilibrium through the increased carbon dioxide uptake of the plants. As Vouriitis' area of expertise is Ecology/ Evolution, the opportunity to observe such an extraordinary phenomenon was particularly gratifying to him. CSUSM greenhouse enables Vouriitis to observe ecosystem behavior. Photo by Melanie Addington increased incidence of tropical diseases* in temperate areas, increased soil erosion, and more frequent and severe wildfires, among other phenomenon can be expected over the next 50 years if current patterns of global warming continue." Vouriitis emphasized that as dire as the consequences of global warming may be, the solutions are simple and within the control of everyone. Possible solutions for global What are the consequences of warming global warming? Basic conservation methods, When asked about the possible consequences of global warming and possible solutions, Vouriitis responded in a very sober and down to earth manner, "Increased flooding, more frequent and severe storms, decreased crop yields, increased pest and insect infestations, such as reusing, recycling, carpooling, purchasing grocery products in bulk, minimizing water used in gardening and bathing and using heating and air conditioning sparingly, will significantly slow the effects of global warming. The best solution, however, lies in limiting fossil-fuel emissions and deforestation, which Weekly Web Site American Civil Liberties Union will require a fundamental change in lifestyle. Vouriitis was particularly adamant about the use of curbside recycling programs, which he feels are a powerful tool in eliminating waste and furthering conservation. Such recycling programs include the recycling bins available at CSUSM. Professor Vouriitis also displayed great enthusiasm when discussing the greenhouse at CSUSM, describing it as his "laboratory". The greenhouse enables him to construct and observe models of ecosystem behavior on the CSUSM campus. Though not as glamorous as arctic Alaska, the greenhouse serves as a valuable tool in Voulitis' research. Vouriitis also teaches Human Impact on the Environment (BIO 338).

The agencies, which include the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineering and Wildlife Services, are currently reviewing the Las Posas project and will render a decision shortly. "We are waiting to hear if the Army Corps and the Regional Water Quality Control Board will issue permits to allow the road to impact the wetlands," said Sandra Farrell of the Friends of Hedionda Creek, a local conservationist group. Farrell's group is concerned that if allowed to proceed, the road's construction will severely damage the environmental integrity of the Hedionda Valley wetlands. Agua Hedionda creek bisects two large areas, approximately 1,500 acres, of undisturbed coastal sage scrub and wetland habitat in the Hedionda Vail ey Species living in the area, which include the endangered coastal California gnatcatcher and the least Bell's vireo, depend on the freshwater marsh habitat that the wetlands provide. Clearing land for a new road would require the city to fill in the valley's natural ponds, to clear the riparian vegetation and to displace hundreds of animals from their home. Furthermore, Ferrell points out" that native species of Hedionda Valley depend on the creek's constant water supply as a resource for survival. The area is considered as a natural wildlife corridor as it provides habitat linkage for both the flora and the fauna in the valley. If the road is allowed to extend through the Hedionda Valley, it will split the corridor into two—restricting movement to and from the creek. "The road extension will destroy sensitive wetlands and create a conflict situation for wildlife that find their corridor turned into a 45 mph road," added Farrell. "The result will be wildlife being lost to roadkill." . Aside from Farrell's group, the Sierra Club's San Diego Chapter has also sent letters urging the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineering and Wildlife Services to reject San Marcos' permit requests for the W ho d o y ou think w ill w in the presidential e lection?

Gepp Contributing Writer Peking duck, roasted turkey, chicken curry.. .they are not what comes to mind when thinking of vegetarians. But, if you are an animal expert, you might just be allowed to make up your own rules. Denise—a longtime vegetarian—who sometimes had an appetite for these winged delights, insisted they MUST be vegetables theni Only someone with a firm comprehension of species paired with an indestructible sense of humor could have said such a thing and be serious about it. We believed her because of that mischievous smile that would accompany such stubborn declarations. This kind of persistence would do wonders at other times in Denise's life. Her ingenious style of rediscovering the world around her was born long before her fellow students found out that she could make an undergraduate behave like a docile elephant...long before she became best buddy with Bahati, a chimpanzee in the heart of Burundi... and long before she disclosed that her pet snail was able to most naturally remove body hair ... Denise was born to Sheila and David Wardill on September 10, 1969 in Newcastle, England. As a curious child she owned an assortment of pets and showed an early interest in animal behaviors. It is not inconceivable that she may have been the perfect example of a child enthusiastically eating her vegetables, if her mother just understood that these included turkey sandwiches and chicken stew! Denise's teenage years were mildly rebellious British-style. The idea of a big-haired, leather-garb-wearing Denise listening to punk music while living the 80's culture probably elicits a twinge of recognizant blush in some of us! Fancying Denise's sense for the unique, a local British newspaper picked up on her unusual scientific declaration that her pet snail ought to be considered a gentle hair remover. An entire page of the local newspaper explained this nifty discovery accompanied by an oversized picture of a smiling Denise with her slippery friend crawling up her arm. As she got older, her unusual interest in animals kept growing. While attending the University of Stirling in Scotland for a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, Denise spent much of her free time working at the Edinburgh Zoo. Human psychol- ogy had captured her interest, but England to earn her teaching animal behavior had become her certificate from Shane English passion.

Who else ]but Denise could have turned an unsuspecting undergraduate into a peanut-eating elephant while happily and noisily demonstrating how chimpanzees vocalize their emotions? In essence, Denise's sense of humor, intelligence, and originality reinforced our ideals on how one ought to learn in the classroom and in life. She did continue her original research on primate language at the Wild Animal Park through her Master's thesis at CSUSM. Denise's thesis project examined language-related hand preferences in Bonobos (also known as Pygmy Chimps), an endangered species thought to be human's closest relative. Undoubtedly, she has been the only graduate student among us who has had a firm idea about the subject of her Master's thesis many years prior to entering the program! On September 22, Denise was taken from life and from being a wife, daughter, sister, friend, student, researcher, and animal conservationist. She will continue to inspire many of us. We will forever remember her smile—that same great smile which could make us believe that some vegetables may have wings and two legs! Good Bye Denise. �Remembering the Veterans By: Steve Compian Pride Staff Writer CSUSM has more than 500 veterans among its faculty, staff, and student body.

The Pride is published weekly on Tuesdays during http://wwwxsusm.edii/pride the academic year, W hy not S occer at CSUSM? By: Manuel Maldonado and Matthew Wallis Contributing Writers CSUSM has only two sports, golf and track. Two years ago a soccer team was started by a group of six dedicated CSUSM students whose goal was to found a soccer program that would bring attention to the school. The goal of the students was to create a soccer team that would proudly represent CSUSM. The soccer team originally started not as a collegiate team, but as a club team. The team played in the Oceanside league for a year and was very competitive, making it to the playoffs of Division II and placing fourth out of sixteen teams. But winning in a club league was not enough for the team, the students wanted to have a bigger challenge, a chance to play other universities. About one year ago soccer became an official club sport at CSUSM. ASI sponsors the soccer team, but the team players must pay for their own uniforms and their own medical liability insurance. The team has also been promised goal equipment to use on the soccer field in order to host home games, but ASI has not delivered on its promises to the team. The team traveled to CSU Long Beach, UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside and Pepperdine University. We performed valiantly against these schools in our first year of competition, and the future could be brighter if ASI would deliver on what they promised. We have now had four away games with other universities but no home games, which was another promise that we are waiting for ASI to fulfill. Tired of asking, "When will the goals arrive?" the team coach offered to pay for the goals out of his own pocket, but he was turned down by the university. While struggling with recruiting players and trying to get a field to play on, the team has managed to stay #live. Our hope and goal of being a competitive team is slowly disappearing since last week the team was informed that all of our home games after November 7, 2000, were cancelled because of defective goals. When we inspected the goals, we found only a scratch. Who is trying to soccer who at CSUSM? As CSUSM students, we have certain rights. We were promised our own goals and at least some home games so that our families and the student body could take pride in the team. We can only dream of the day when a Cal State Cougars' soccer team takes the field. All the members of the team are CSUSM students who take time out of their busy schedules to play soccer. We want the university to recognize that we do extet and that we would like to play some home games. The teams we have played so far have expressed their willingness to play us on ourfieldson a Wednesday or Saturday afternoon when we can get the most support. We urge all CSUSM students to come support our soccer team on NOVEMBER 7 when we take on UCSD atUCSD at 7:00 p.m. The Mangrum Track and Soccer Field are not named just for track but also for soccer. Let's stop the political bureaucracy that is stopping soccer frpm becoming an official sport at Cal State San Marcos. Most students don't even know CSUSM has a soccer team and that we have been representing them for two years. We are putting the word out to gain support for our team. All we are asking for is a few home games so that our families, friends, students and alumni can enjoy a competitive soccer game and cheer on the Cougars. For some of us it's our last season of collegiate soccer and we would like to play on our home field just one last time. WE JUST WANT TO PLAY AT HOME AND EXPAND SOCCER AT CSUSM.

I am running for State Assembly, but I am not a politician." If you were one of the handful of students who bothered to show up to ASI's candidate forum last Thursday outside of the Dome you got to hear our local underdog candidates cling to the opportunity of boring an audience. Absent the front-running Republicans, Libertarian, Natural Law and Democratic Party candidates came ready with long-winded rambling speeches that turn off an already apolitical demographic. The generation infamous for asking presidential candidates whether they preferred boxers or briefs and firing up a unprecedented digital economy sat outside enjoying the Southern California atmosphere seemingly hungry for some mid-day munchies and maybe for a candidate that would speak about issues pertinent to collegiate aged voters. Promising a program for every- thing under the sun, the candidates did not ask if we young people want an oversized intrusive government responsible for running our lives. Like their main party counterparts the predominantly third party dais politicized their issues in hopes that one issue might resonates on your Head and you'd vote for them. If the candidates were for a real change in politics do you think they might have asked how they could represent our (the constituencies) views rather than spoon-feeding us empty promises they know that they cannot deliver on. Could it just be that the days of charismatic leadership are over? When it comes to charisma in our leaders are there any. more JFK's? Reagan's? Heck, I'll even settle for a Clinton when it comes to charisma and reaching out to an audience. Surprisingly the town hall Q&A formatted event turned out to be a candidate lecture followed by a few questions, as a disappointed attendee I guess I can use this article as the forum to filed papers intending to run for office seem quick to duck the term that they are not politicians. Please define what a politician is, why you are not one. Is it not about time that we stop accepting politician's lies about how they are not politicians, put them in their place, remember if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is not a penguin my friends. I say we should not accept candidates who want to make the term politician a noble phrase once again, as public service is. I am sure we all remember the Maverick independent standing Senator John McCain whom was sick and tired of all the special interest in Washington. Special interest enraged Mr. McCain so deeply he came and left through the back door when the lobbyists threw him million dollar fui\draisers. Or my other favorite example is A1 Gore's lambasting of Hollywood, however Hollywood seems to be good for multimillion dollar if not entertainment. Since it is obvious own large interest group, we could call ourselves Knowledgeable Voters of America. We will not The Pride asked, stand for corruption, empty promises, or Washington's do as I say Who do you not as I do mentality. I promise you the larger we get lobbyists think will will not stand a chance against our group.

You woke up Results: this morning, came to school, picked up a school paper, but did George Bush: 30% you vote yet? If you take a second A1 Gore: 40% to think about it, our electoral process is like prom night back in Ralph Nader: 10% high school.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation coming to CSUSM BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation National Education Tour is coming to campus on Wednesday, November 15. The event that is also known as "On the Way to the Cure - Komen on the Go" will be held in the Kellogg Library Plaza from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The nine week tour has 36 stops; one of them being CSUSM. "They go to many campuses throughout the U.S. and we are fortunate to be on the tour," said Rita Ruhter, the special project coordinator for Health and Human Services here at CSUSM. The event was held last year and will probably be held again next year. "We would like to host them again next year but it depends on their National Schedule," said Ruhter. The six - hour event will include the "Komen On the Go" pink trailer. The event will also have computer stations, informational materials about breast cancer, breast selfexamination guides, opportunities for local involvement, and suggestions about how to be effective cosurvivors. Resources about where to go to for answers to questions about breast health and breast cancer will also be included, along with an eightfoot graffiti wall that will allow students to share their ideas about breast cancer. Prizes will be given away for those who participate. "It's a great educational event and we [will] also have breast cancer survivors on site to answer questions and lend support," said Ruhter. Nancy G. Brinker founded the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982 in memory of her sister. Brinker lost her sister (Komen) to breast cancer. Komen was only 36 years old and left two children behind. Komen fought breast cancer for three years before the cancer over took her. From her encounter and personal experience, Brinker learned how the lack of knowledge on breast cancer played a significant role in her sister's death. Additionally, San Diego hosted VOL.

Most of them are free from the burdens of their classes until Monday. The professional staff members who work in the offices of the UVA have gone home for the evening. Tonight, out of the 15 Resident Advisors in the UVA, it is up to Jace Getskow and Alex Cohen to make the rounds, enforce the rules, and much, much more. 10:30 p.m.: The round* begin on the first floor of B. This is Matt Curran and Getskow'sfloor.It's relatively quiet thus far. Getskow and Cohen walk slowly, pushing on every door they walk by. A few of the door handles are broken, other doors are left ajar. Every so often, as Getskow and Cohen push and the doors and continue walking, a resident's curious face will appear in the hallway, wondering why their door suddenly slammed shut. "We're just checking the doors," they say to each resident. If a resident's door handle is broken, Getskow and Cohen advise them to fill in a work order at the front desk during business hours. "So no one walks in and takes a TV or anything," Getskow says. 10:50 p.m.: Getskow and Cohen are nearing the end of the second floor of B, Josh Freeman and Steven Butler'sfloor.Getskow and Cohen describe how most residents think their RAs are out to get them. "We're not here to hunt people. We're here to enforce rules." Cohen says. Getskow adds, "Our main concern is that no one's passed out on the floor." Most times, when they knock on doors, to ask students to quiet down, it's because they can hear them laughing loudly and playing music from two doors down.

This small office serves roughly 200 students from the surrounding communities who attend college courses hosted in local area schools to earn credit at CSUSM. The CSUSM SWRC (South West Riverside County) branch campus has offered classes for the last six years to students who are either currently enrolled at CSUSM or participating in the Open University program. Over the next few years though, due to an increase in the state budget it is antici- l^nes pated that this office will more than double its size, expanding to accommodate 500 students. Most of the CSU system schools in Southern California are clustered around the coastline, leaving students in areas farther east isolated. In order to allow students in these areas greater access to a university education, CSUSM established a satellite branch in South Western Riverside County in the city of Temecula. The system of building satellite campuses is not uncommon in the CSU system. CSU Channel Islands operates one in Camarillo, CSU Northridge operates one in Ventura, and in 1978 San Diego State University, built a satellite campus in North County, which in 1989 became CSU San Marcos. The CSUSM SWRC "campus" is really just an administrative office, that offers a few other services such as taking the Computer Competency Requirement Exam as well as limited academic advising. The classes at the CSUSM SWRC branch campus are held in the nearby classrooms in Temecula and Murrieta area schools. The classes, that number 11 for fall semester and 14 for last spring, are generally taught by CSUSM faculty and staff. Taught in classrooms mostly in Ronald Reagan Elementary School in Wildomar, and at Temecula Valley High School. The classes are generally smaller and offered in the evenings or early mornings. While there are some fulltime programs, most cater to part time and evening students. There are a few courses at CSUSM SWRC branch campus that are also focused on helping graduate students earn either the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, or earn two of the pre requisites for any of the other credential programs at CSUSM. There are also some upper division general education courses offered for students, and some for those attempting to earn a degree in Liberal Studies. However, in order to meet all of the requirements for their degrees, students will need to take some classes at the main CSUSM campus. There are also limitations on the kinds of courses that can be offered at the branch office; an agreement with Mt./San Jacinto Community College's Temecula branch prevents CSUSM from offering competing lower division courses. Students at CSUSM SWRC branch campus are also limited to Social Sciences and Humanities classes, meaning that students with other majors will at most only be able to take a few general education classes at the SWRC branch; but that may change in the near future with the increased enrollment allowance and budget increase. With an increase in funding for the CSU system from the California state's general fund of $54 million for the 2006-2007 year, and the possible windfall if Prop ID passes, the SWRC branch will be able to increase the number of classes and services over the next few years. Program coordinators at the SWRC branch hope to expand to offer classes in Science and Math as well as offering Continuing Education activities. Their plans also include opening an actual campus facility for the program in Temecula.

With the iPod claiming Built into Apple's popular almost 73 percent share of the iTunes digital music distribu- market for portable music play- ers last year, some analysts see Apple's iPod well on track for replacing Sony's Walkman as the most popular portable audio product in history. This popularity combined with the CSUSM's willingness to embrace non traditional teaching methods, such as online and distance learning make podcasting lectures an attractive option for schools and a lucrative one for Apple. The flexibility of distributing material via podcast generally appeals to students, and the availability ofmaterial for students will probably be even more appealing to students who can download a lecture and listen to it anywhere rather than make the commute to campus. The ability for students with an internet connection anywhere in the world to listen to courses from CSUSM professors could change the way classes are taught and how we take college courses. Previously recorded courses could potentially be recycledfromprevious years and downloaded by incoming students as a cost cutting measure by some schools. It could also make professors tired of lecturing to empty classrooms implement mandatory attendance policies. Either way podcasting lectures may be the next step in thé evolution in teaching. "It might change the way we teach", wrote Professor Berghof.

Right behind her was Morgan Sjogren in 28th, followed by Erin Hearn, who made her first appearance in the Cougars' top5 with a 41st-place finish. Other Cougars who competed include Aimee Bradley (45th) and Kristen Simek (60th). Concordia University made it a clean sweep on the day, winning the women's event as well. Azusa Pacific, Vanguard, and Point Loma Nazarene finished ahead of the Cougar women as well, but the squad should still make Nationals. For both the men and women, that event will be held on November 18th in Louisville, Kentucky.

He decided to drop his suspension appeal to the NFL office, because he realized the four games suspension would be upheld and if he waited any longer to start the suspension he would have missed both games versus the Denver Broncos. I enjoy watching Merriman play, probably more than any other defensive player in the league. If he had simply come to me for some advice on the matter, he might have had a chance against the league office. With that said, I present to you the top 10 excuses Shawne Merriman could have used to explain why he tested positive for steroids. 10 - "The lab technician who handled my urine sample was a Broncos fan.

You see, sometimes the lights go out in my head and I black out for hours at a time. I can't be held responsible for what goes in my body during that period of time." 2 - "Recently I have become a big brother to a disadvantaged youth. One day I came upon him with a syringe in his hand. He said he was going to shoot up because he wanted to make it to the NFL one day. I wouldn't let that happen to a developing young boy, so I snatched the syringe from his hand and injected myself, just so he couldn't harm his own body. So, if you really think about it, I am a hero. Don't do drugs kids." 1 - "I couldn't stand to watch anymore Marty Ball, and I don't even play offense."

BY AMANDA ANDREEN "Plan B" is the most diverse song on the Pride Staff Writer album in terms of the stylistic choices made Better not sit down before you listen to by the band and the instruments used. It's this one. MuteMath is exactly like what you'd listen to if a squad of fifty police cars were chasing you down the 1-15 like a fugitive on "America's Most Wanted." That said, the opening number on the latest release from Teleprompt/Warner Records is a little on the softer side of the usual MuteMath fury. Don't let that stand in your way though. "Typical" still has enough guts to get your heart pumping. The four-piece New Orleans ensemble holds nothing back on this rockin' self-titled release. Clocking in at just over 63 minutes, MuteMath will have your palms sweating and your heart racing for a solid hour; that's better than putting in an hour of cardio at the gym, if you ask me. With 14 tracks of high quality mayhem and skilled musicianship, the vocals of lead singer Paul Meany are a little bit Sting meets John Mayer, but also slightly The MuteMath plays at the House of Blues. Shins meet Simon and Garfunkel. The sound is a mixture of several genres: rock, fast enough to rock out to, but still chill electrónica, rave, reggae, pop, new wave enough to cruise to between pockets of and j azz. Creating ambient songs that carry traffic on the freeway. Utilizing magical the listener from one track to the next, the homemade instruments and bursting with songs on "MuteMath" are different enough spontaneous bouts of energy throughout all THE PRIDE Math. Its fast tempo, chasing cymbals, and organ-esque breakdown paired with the heavy and echoing pipes of Meany fuse together seamlessly. "Stare at the Sun," is more tech than it is techno, combining multiple levels of distortion with electronic noises and guitar-heavy rhythms. The vocals on this song, however, smooth this number down, rounding it out as a fairly enjoyable listening affair. Speaking of affairs, seeing MuteMath live is by far an affair I'll never be able to forget. I had the opportunity to witness them live a little over a year ago when they opened for Mae at the San Diego House of Blues. MuteMath totally stole the show. They were thefirstband to play, and they could have very well been the only band that played that night None of the bands that followed the incredible show MuteMath put on came even close to the quality and showmanship MuteMath possessed that night.

This year's batch has done especially well, winning the Silver Medal at the 2006 Australian International Beef Awards and taking home the gold in the 2006 World Beer Championships. Deschutes 2006 Jubelale is a deep red-brown color. The head is frothy and an inch thick which disappeared after a few minutes leaving a small amount of lacing around the edges. The smell is crisp, sweet and well spicey with undertones provided by its warm toasted malts. The ale tastes sweet, fruity and spiced. It has a medium mouthfeel and good body. Perfect for the cold autumn and winter season, Jubelale is warming and delicious.

Photos by Amanda Andreen / The Pridd BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!" cautions The Dude, fearing for his precious potion while being shoved into a limousine. The beverage in question is the White Russian and its popularity increaseddramatically after Jeff Bridges starred as "The Dude" Lebowski, an L.A. slacker with a steady routine: "I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback." A Coen Brothers' film, "The Big Lebowski" introduced cocktail-lovers' far and wide to a little beverage that shares its name with the Bolsheviks' political opponents during the Russian Civil War. The White Russian is a simple, creamy cocktail composed of vodka, Kahlua and cream served on the rocks in an oldfashioned glass. Though by no means intensely sweet, the flavor j of the drink reminds me of an old-style hard candy like Werther's Original. Its creamy texture and smooth, warm sensation boosts its luxury factor - each sip makes me feel as if I'm indulging in something delightfully decadent. Considering that the classic White Russian contains cream, which can be substituted for with milk, it's a little, beverage that can be quite naughty to your waistline. Also, don't be fooled by its innocent appearance. Having more than one of these little beauties can make the unsuspecting drinker go from pleasantly warm and relaxed to downright debauched in surprisingly little time. Thus, unlike The Dude, I tend to reserve the White Russian for treats and special occasions. Making your own White Russian is simple: toss some ice into an old-fashioned glass, add 2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce Kahlua, and fill with light cream. Substituting Vanilla vodka (I use Absolut Vanilia) will add another subtle layer offlavor,making the drink taste even more like a delicious candy confection. Enjoy! Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride �A THE PRIDE Movie review: ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer I've heard the song many times on the local country radio stations; I just never really connected it to the movie "Flicka," until now. Listening to it, though, in the car or at home, I've always found myself a little misty-eyed at the end of the song as it reminds "Flicka me of my own father. Now, sitting in an almost barren movie theater with a mob of 5-year-old girls a few rows over and the 9-yr-old boy I babysit looking at me like I'm" crazy, "My Little Girl," by Tim McGraw anthems as the credits roll, and I once again find myself mistyeyed. Inspired by the much-loved novel "My Friend Flicka," by Mary O'Hara, the adapted fulllength motion picture, "Flicka," is for those of all ages, especially for those young at heart. Starring Alison Lohman as Mary McLaughlin and a shaven Tim McGraw in his first acting role as Mary's father, "Flicka'Ms an endearing and enjoyable story of a 16-yr-old girl who discovers herself in the wild mustang she finds, befriends, and names Flicka. Determined to follow her family legacy and run her father's horse ranch, Mary finds the wild horse in the hills of modern day Wyoming, and quicklyfindsthat she and Flicka are more alike than she could have ever dreamed. Unwilling to give up her freedom, both Mary and Flicka face challenges and loss in the film. Capturing the connection that can be made between a girl and her animal companion, in this case a wild mustang, "Flicka" personifies the transition from adolescence to adulthood and the rocky journey one can experience along the way. Uesday, 7,2006 Tuesday; November 7> 2006 Ü J & C E- ^ A feel-sood Watching the interaction and realizations made by Mary in her relationship with Flicka, and through Mary and her relationship with her father, I found a deeper appreciation for the good things in life and the opportunities we all have each day to chase our dreams and become the person we wish to be. The transformation that happens within Mary, Flicka, and Mary's father in thefilmis humbling, and even though it's just a movie, it inspires a multitude of ideas and new hopes. Set in the lush and beautiful landscapes of the hills and mountains that decorate Wyoming, more than anything, the scenery and nature in "Flicka" awakened this urge and need inside myself to pick up and take off into the wilderness: to get back to nature, to be free from civilization, and to be free in nature's beauty. It seems that in the middle of nowhere, somewhere lost in Cre- il flick Images courtesy of 20th Century Fox ation, somewhere amidst the natural world, and somewhere away from everything is else is the exact place to take a moment to find yourself. A kid-friendly flick and tearjerker at times, "Flicka" is a film that gives you your money's worth, along with a few parting thoughts. Though it wouldn't be my first box office pick, I would highly recommend "Flicka" to anyone looking to do a little soulsearching. �Tuesday, November 7, 2006 THE PRIDE Photos by Sophie Brißi fThç If it � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Topics included security, facilities use, liability issues and financial management. Officials who addressed the group alternately praised and threatened, cajoled and teased, inspired and depressed the leaders who had given their Friday afternoon to this very important cause. The hosts distributed liberal quantities of H allowe'en candy, many handouts, and 3-inch binders containing detailed information all student leaders and club advisors require. Campus Chief of Police Tom Schultheis reflected on the definition of hate crimes and explained how campus clubs are expected to pay for security for large-scale and dangerous campus events. Calvin One Deer, Director of Student and Residential L ife, lamented the precipitous decline in the number of campus clubs in recent years and expressed the hope that the falling-off of interest in campus organizations would reverse itself. Officials explained that before a club can schedule any activity, students must complete a detailed "Activity Risk Assessment F orm/' obtain the advisor's signature, and submit the form to the ASI office.

Cahill PRIDE EDITOR The annual Dia de los Muertos celebration was held this past Tuesday on the Palm Court between ACD and University Hall. The celebration, sponsored by CSUSM's Day of the Dead Committee, included poetry readings and cafavera readings, in addition to traditional altars, sugar skulls, and papel picado designs. Highly decorated altars, covered in marigolds, the traditional flower of Dia de los Muertos, brightly colored paper decoration, photos, and other significant mementos of loved ones who have passed on filled the courtyard. CSUSM students, faculty, and staff joined in the occasion, constructing their own altars for deceased loved ones. Dia de los Muertos is traditionally celebrated in Mexico on the first and second of November. On these days, altars are constructed in honor of deceased loved ones, and offerings are made to them. Offerings include the favorite foods of the deceased, alcohol and tobacco, and items impor- tant to them in their mortal lives. The purpose of these offerings is to honor the spirit and memory of the deceased. The celebration originated in pre-Columbian Mexico. Scholars believe the tradition originated with the Olmecs, possibly as long as 3000 years ago. This celebration was passed on to other cultures such as the Toltecs, Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec and Aztecs. The Aztec version of the celebration of honoring the dead is recognized as the most formative in contemporary practices celebrating Dia de Los Muertos in the United States. The Aztec celebration was held during the month of Miccailhuitontli, and was presided over by the goddess Mictecacihuatl, Lady of the Dead, and dedicated to children and the dead. Following the Spanish conquest of Mexico during the 16th century, Catholicism added new dimensions to the celebration, blending the customs of the Aztec, and other native peoples. The Catholic tradition of All Saints' Day and All Hallows Eve (Hallowe'en) roughly coincided with the preexisting celebration of Mictecacihuatl. The present day event draws from both Roman Cathofic and preColumbian traditions. PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride MACARIO Madcap Otis Rocks San Marcos Catherine Armas-Matsumoto June Hodges PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER Coinciding with the "The Day of the Dead" celebration this month on campus, "Death" is the theme for this semester's Hispanic Film Festival, sponsored by CSUSM's Latin World Understanding Student Association, an organization dedicated to promoting appreciation of all Latin culture. Approximately thirty attendees gathered Wednesday, November 3rd at 6:00pm, in Commons 206 to view Macario. Produced in 1958, the film depicts the tradition of "el Dia de los Muertos" in Mexico. A group of young, talented musicians called Madcap Otis provided noontime entertainment f or an appreciative audience on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 1999, in the outdoor Dome area. The program of j azz, blues, funk, country, hip-hop, and gospel included several original pieces written by members of the group. All seven of the performers, f ive men and two women, are in their early twen- Based on B, Tavern's book and directed by award-winning director of photography Gabriel Figueroa, the movie Macario, presented in Spanish with English subtitles, is rich in symbolism and metaphor. The story's main character, Macario, a hard working man living in poverty with his family, meets his destiny with Death. Complex on several levels, the film provided excellent subject matter for the spirited discussion that followed. The discussion was facilitated by the club's faculty advisor Dr. Carlos von Son, who shared his knowledge of Hispanic literature and cinema with those present.

Rosy-Da wnSelwitz, f ull time music major at San Diego State, started her career singing in c offeehouses with her mother as a teenager. Members of the band include Christian Carriger (acoustic guitar), Ben Todd (bass, harmonica), Rebecca Alman (organ), J. J. Sherman (lead guitar, mandolin), Frank Lazarro (hand drums), a nd. Mark Schneider (percussion). The group describes their music as being "eclectic/psychedelic rock and roll." The group performs at Papa Jacks in the Gas Lamp Quarter, Winston's in Ocean Beach, C ain's in La Paloma and N eiman's in Carlsbad. They participated in the "Live at t he B ay" outdoor music festival in Mission Beach, which l i H i wm§ r- ~ v attracted families and people of all ages last summer.

FORE / The Pride �2 OPINION Monday, November 08, 1999 DEAR READER: DEAR EDITORS: A week and a half-ago two different clubs on campus publicly accused The Pride of partiality. One student even accused The Pride of being a "tabloid." If that isn't bad enough, it has come to my attention that several articles and letters printed in our student paper have offended various people or groups of people on campus. These and other negative repercussions to offering a mouthpiece for student voice COULD cause me much anxiety, but on review, I am pleased to be a part of this paper, and a part of this campus community. In fact, CSUSM students, faculty, and staff should celebrate the spirit of openness that allows negative commentary as one facet of the communication that exists between The Pride and its readers. In perusal of other university papers, I notice that student issues explored in their pages are minimal, at best. Most articles come off of the college wires, or a re feature or entertainment pieces. In contrast, our student paper attempts to present fair reporting of actual student news that comes from this university. Perhaps of more importance, our readers feel free to respond to the issues presented in our paper, whether for good or ill. Our writers and editors are students, not experienced journalists. We are still learning, but we are dedicated to offering our readers our best efforts in reporting, writing, and editing the news. Part of our "best efforts" includes facilitating communication between members of the campus community. The Pride has many supporters among the administration, faculty, staff, and student body who offer help, advice, and yes, criticism. On behalf of the editorial team, I thank you for your support and tolerance. Without you, The Pride could not exist. In response to Juniata Greenlee's letter in the November 1st issue of The Pride, I feel it is necessary to point out to you that it was the YAF, not the College Republicans, who accused The Pride of being a "tabloid." I am not a member of the College Republicans, nor do I plan to be, but I must come to their defense on this matter. My own political persuasions can be better described as a conser vative environmentalist, and have led me to vote for Libertarians, Republicans, Greens, or occasionally a (gasp!) Democrat. The College Republicans are a respected, nationwide organization with national leadership committed to the furthering of a genuine "republican democracy (note lower case " R," meaning "a republic")," as specified in the Constitution, "...with liberty and j ustice for all" (not j ust straight, white, anglo-saxon males) with a foundation in the teachings of God and many 17th and 18th Century philosophers. The YAF, by contrast, appears to be a ' one-off' collection of opinionated fascists whose feelings cannot be logically jus tified in any way. Oh, and to those who would quote Leviticus twenty-something or other to me ("'Homosexuality is an abomination,' sayeth the Lord."), check out the new covenant given to us by Jesus Christ (the New Testament), "...love your neighbors,...forgive your enemies,...pray for your tormen tors,..." Good stuff like that. Cynthia Woodward Graduate Intern, The Pride NOTHING FOR THE AVERAGE STUDENT After half a semester at California State University San Marcos it has become painfully clear that if I remain here for my entire college education I will die of boredom. D on't get me wrong, I think that this is a great school academically but besides going to class, there is nothing else to do at this campus. If you have a class on Friday, then I think you know what I am talking about. On Fridays, this campus looks kind of like a ghost town. I am just waiting for the tumbleweeds to roll by the window as I sit inside my half empty classroom. The first thing that I thought was interesting and a little shocking was that the average age of the student at this school is around 28. Now being 18 and right out of high school I didn't EbeJWbe Help Stop Sweatshops By Michelle Jacob I recently attended the California Students against Sweatshops conference in Berkeley. It was there that I learned about the student movement against sweatshop oppression. This movement is nationwide, and the CSU schools are trying to unite to bring about changes on our campus and in our communities. Several representatives at the conference spoke about how their campus bookstores (including some C SU's) are selling sweatshop-made clothing. One example that was showed to us was a typical embroidered college T-shirt which retailed at $ 15 in the bookstore. The woman who made, the shirt in a sweatshop got 3 cents for making the shirt. These extraordinarily low wages are the norm for sweatshop workers, and many people are forced to live in desperate poverty because of these low wages. Is our bookstore selling sweatshop items? This gross inequality is something in which our university should not take part. We need to investigate the products our bookstore sells. Anyone (student, staff, faculty, or community member) who is interested in this cause, has additional questions, or would like to help in the investigation can email: activist55@hotmail.com Scott Weselis DEAR EDITORS: DEAR EDITORS: I have noticed that The Pride now accepts letters and editorials from students on an anonymous basis. In my opinion this is detrimental to the intellectual growth of the newspaper and the campus community. I know of no other established newspaper in the United States that will accept and print letters from those who wish to remain anonymous. It is simply a matter of credibility. I am concerned about those who write letters under the protection of anonymity if you believe in an opinion enough to write it down then sign your name to it also. The realization that the university I attend produces students that are either unwilling or unable to stand behind their own beliefs is very unsettling. It is my understanding that a college newspaper should provide experience in the field of journalism while striving to instill a high amount of quality and integrity for those reporting and editorializing. Respectfully, Brent Wells expect to be in classes sitting next to people who were married and had two kids already. The next thing that I thought was interesting about this school is that there is no on campus living. I understand that this school is still young but it seems to me that no campus living spells no campus life. Also to my knowledge, I might be wrong about this, there is only one sports team. Track. That's great if your good at running but what about all the other sports there are. I understand that the track team is doing very well. But track is not the kind of sport where the whole student body comes out to see them compete like at a Notre Dame football game where the all students paint their faces and all rally together and have a good time. I found nothing like that at this school. These are a few main factors that I can see that are major contributors to the fact that going to school at CSUSM is a bore. I used to think that this school was pretty good until I visited some friends over the weekend at their schools. I must say I feel cheated. My friends are all having the time of their lives and I am here in San Marcos sweating in the hot sun as I watch my college life slowly go by. I must admit that there have been some attempts made to better the student life here at this school but they have had no success. I don't know how it can be done or even where to start, but I do know that something should be done to make life at this school more enjoyable for the average student. Joe I am one of the so-called "tabloid" student writers and I am proud to write for The Pride. I challenge myself to cover many fields. I try to take on as many different topical issues as possible in order to become a versatile writer. I absorb accumulated information and use as much judgment I can to submit an objective article. The information can be helpful for some people and useless for others, but at least i t's out there. For a person to use words like "tabloid" to describe my writing is laughable. But sometimes opinions can carry a louder bark than bite. I can understand people having grievances that carry weight. The person who made the tabloid comment did not raise a valid argument. He supposedly had 200 signatures and brought forward conjectural evidence. Leiana and Samantha held there own on the Mic and correctly represented the newspaper. The advice I 'd offer my fellow students are to submit letters such as this one and take the student newspaper course next semester. By the way, I 've got a great topic for the next issue: "YAF member abducted by aliens!" Whatcha think? RETRACTIONS: In the article "New Faucet Change Complies with ADA Standards" in the October 25, 1999 issue of The Pride, the sentence "...the push-down faucets did not comply with standards defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)" was incorrect. The originally installed pushdown type Simmons faucets' are designed to comply fully with the ADA.' The article also stated the replaced faucets hadn't undergone routine maintenance for seven years. ' The original faucets had not been a regular part of a preventative maintenance program for about one year," says Chuck Walden, Associate Director of Facilities. "Until he had to be temporarily reassigned to a more urgent issue, he [Dennis McFarland, Maintenance Mechanic J was responsible f or maintaining the [plumbing] f ixtures." Mike Spangler, Pride Staff Writer, apologizes for the article's discrepancies. In the October 18, 1999 article "ICC Budget Settled," the vote to grant the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer $400 in Student Development money in scholarships and grants to pay tuition costs was not a "unanimous" as stated. Pride Staff Writer Penny Lanese apologizes for the misinformation.

Every day the ground shakes on campus and on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Hanson Aggregates. They are a San Diego-based company whose business produces concrete, asphalt, and gravel by using rock and sand blasted f rom the ground. The quarry operation next door to the CSUSM campus is an exchange of excavated granite for the leveling of the land, behind the FCB building and upper faculty lot, towards "building-pad height." Ninety percent of asphalt pavement and eighty percent of concrete come from aggregates. Without aggregates, building is impossible. The United States produces over two billion tons of aggregates per year, and Hanson is ranked number three in national production. Formerly known as South Coast Materials (an entity of Hanson Aggregates), in March of 1999 Hanson decided to bring their San Diego holdings together under one name. Approximately f ifty-five workers are employed at their facility. Hanson made two notable purchases in San Diego County last year. In February of 1998, they acquired HG Fenton, the leading aggregate supplier in San Diego, for a $87.-5 million cash purchase. In December of the same year, Nelson & Sloan was purchased for $37.6 million, making Hanson Aggregates the leading aggregate supplier for San Diego County. According to Hanson o fficials, the market here is "extremely attractive." Hanson Aggregates is a branch of Hanson PLC, the leading UK aggregate company that has been purchasing aggregate companies in the United States. In f act, Hanson says that Hanson Building Material America was the principal engine of Hanson's 1998 growth, which boasted a one-year sales growth in 1998 of 25%, making the total sales for the year $4,992.9 million. i iiil CONDO FOR SALE : 2 br 1 1/2 bath 1190 sq. f t, 2 story, spacious grd. level patio, 2nd level balcony, sunken living room/dining area, brk bar, excellent closet space, low-flush toilets, washer/dryer hook up inside, gas heating, gas self cleaning oven, pantry area, wooden shutters on windows. 2 car garage, green, lush common area w/trees, pool, club house.

I know, it's a horrible stereotype but why should I avoid them if the director, Wayne Wang (of The Joy Luck Club fame), won't. Actress and college freshman Natalie Portman, (probably better known as Queen Amidala f rom the new Star Wars), is the young female lead, Ann August. Susan Sarandon, who gets top billing in the promotional materials, but evidently not because of her acting, plays the "adult" female lead, Adele August. And the male lead? Well, there i sn't one. I expected m ore f rom Susan Sarandon and hoped for more from the movie. T he movie doesn't beat up on men too badly, but nonetheless reinforces gender stereotypes of both men and women. Women are still portrayed as docile dependent victims (of men and of. their own delusions) and men are placed in roles of womanizer, abandoning Dad, and soft-spoken, spineless, insignificant living furniture. The best scenes were given to the young Portman, like when she flips the gender-roles' coin and commands her admirer (Peter, played by Corbin Aired), who has just walked in her front door, "Take your clothes o ff." Unfortunately many potentially touching or inspiring scenes went undeveloped or, in the case of the aforementioned scene, the female character reveals to the audience that she i s not strong enough to continue in such a strong role. Indeed role reversal is a major theme with responsible, rational figure as the daughter, while the mother is a careless spendthrift. The reversals are so spoon fed and superficial that they are boring and predictable. No one ever suffers serious consequences for their wrongdoing, the negative stereotypes go virtually unpunished, and most conversations between mother and daughter end in a j oke without resolution. The film's happy Hollywood Ending lacks the gut wrenching squeeze and instead produces nothing more than hot air. The movie may be inspiring for the sweet-sixteen and under crowd, but if you want to see it I suggest that you call your local theaters f or show times, because I predict that it w on't stay there long past its Friday, November 12 opening date. Breakdown Breaks Out! By Joni Miller PRIDE STAFF WRITER By Joni Miller aE il W Boys Don't Cry is a remarkable debut effort by director Kimberly Peirce which imparts the true-life story of Brandon Teena. Peirce guides the audience through the short and tragic life of a young girl who undergoes a sexual identity crisis and faces immense injustice for it in a small Midwestern town. Born Teena Brandon, she transforms her identity into that of Brandon Teena, to pursue a life based on his own truth, that of a man. A courageous albeit reckless effort by the young Brandon to live this life, brings catastrophic results when his female identity/body is exposed. 4/ J^jS;? 0m tik Em PRIDE STAFF WRITER J A ±JT nnl Melissa Etheridge has once again created a compilation of rich lyrics and soulful melodies that engage the heart of any lover. The tide track, "Breakdown," blends the anguish of ending a relationship with the solace of knowing that in spite of the pain, the choice was a good one. The classic Etheridge edginess of the piece compels the listener to ask for more, but she gives you just enough to satisfy the call. "Angels Will Fall," the first single to be released off of the new CD, is rising up the charts. "Angels" fuses spiritual longing with earthly desire and culminates in pure fulfillment, both lyrically and musically. Etheridge takes some liberty in self-expression on "Enough of Me," a passionate track that boasts a Freudian connection of sorts. The song is a real treat for all the codependent listeners out there—something too many of us can relate to, unfortunately. Openly Lesbian, Etheridge addresses the feelings of being different as a child in, "Mama I 'm Strange." This cut expresses the longing to be loved, and the ever present need to fit in, to survive. Hauntingly real and inexplicably vivid is Etheridge's loving tribute to Mathew Shepard, "Scarecrow." Her lyrics capture the senseless persecution the young college student suffered before he was brutally murdered in Wyoming. Her words call out to a nation to be accountable for the intolerance and bigotry that defines us. Etheridge's most political effort by far, "Breakdown" bequeaths us eleven gifts of the heart. The CD is enhanced, and can be enjoyed on your personal computer as well as the best that Dolby can supply. It will steal your heart. Hilary Swank (of "Beverly Hills 90210") delivers an extraordinary performance as Brandon Teena. Moving a few hundred miles from his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, Brandon begins a new life in Falls City. Meeting up with some local outcasts in a seedy bar, Brandon quickly becomes part of the family of a small group of bored and equally trapped youth known as the "wall people." The supporting cast of characters include Lana (Chloe Sevismy) as Brandon's understanding lover, Candace (Alicia Goransonrone of the "Beckys" from "Roseanne") as Lana's fair weather friend, and John Lotter (Peter Sarsgaard) as a deranged ex-convict with eyes for Lana.

I also vowed to take time out during the winter break to catch up on some " pleasure" reading. I read an article about "Fung something or other" in a magazine and I thought that I would grab a book at the local library for further research.

According to the Tried & True Manager, research indicates that college students tend toward casual attire for a j ob interview. Although the more relaxed dress code is being allowed in many o ffices today, i t's a mistake to believe this is proper for an interview. "The interviewer's impression of the j ob candidate, made during the first five minutes, is usually the strongest and casual dress reflects a casual attitude," she cautioned. Debra recommends that women look like women but dress in a masculine way; that is, they should wear suits, complementing blouses, plain pumps and a minimum of jewelry. You don't have to pay a fortune to dress for success, according to Debra Watson-Samson, Tried & True Resale Store manager.

A Bagua has eight areas and charts where the blessings are located in your home or workplace. Each area is associated with a color and an element such as water, metal, i ire, and wood. The key to feng shui is to balance the elements and combine with the free flow of ch % To understand the Bagua, imagine a tic tack toe grid - the outside squares represent a different area of life that can be filled with positive energy to gain the most fulfillment, The entry of a room determines the placement of the Bagua. (The entry should align with the areas of Knowledge, Career' Travel.) Putting feng shui to work is easier than you may think. Simple enhancements such as green plants in your health area can give you renewed energy. Pictures of happy couples in your marriage and family center brighten the prospects for finding the perfect mate. Running water, such as a fountain or aquarium, in your wealth center can help wealth flow into your l ife - but watch out f or leaky faucets, your ch 'i could be going down the drain. Arrange a collage of pictures of dream destinations cut from a magazine and hang it in your travel quadrant, chances are that a vacation is in your future. Don't forget to study in good light, burn some incense, and light a candle in your knowledge and self cultivation area to magnify the positive c/i'z moving as you prepare for finals. And for those of you who are looking f or the perfect career, hang a wind chime at your front door to summon the opportunity of a lifetime. Still think this i s hooey? A fter getting a good chuckle o ver,my newfound hobby, a friend mentioned that she was going to be out of work - if her father's business didn't pick up. I suggested some minor alterations in her wealth center as well as her travel and helpful people quadrant. I handed a couple of bunches of purple flowers to arrange in groups of four and sent her on her way. With a healthy dose of skepticism, she headed for home to apply the feng shui remedies I had suggested. Three days later she called to let me know that her father had been awarded a large contract that would keep her steadily employed for two years. Not bad for an amateur practitioner. Once you have taken the time to feng shui your space, don't just let it go. It is amazing how quickly a few scrap papers can turn into piles of junk or a beautiful green plant left without water can die. Negative energy will soon follow. My office is in the Knowledge & SelfCultivation area of my home, a place where I am extremely productive with my business and schoolwork. However, the space has become a catchall of clutter and mess, and it has been weeks since I have felt comfortable sitting in front of the computer to work on my term papers. Sitting in the space causes me anxiety, loss of concentration and worse, it has brought about a trend towards procrastination. I 'll certainly be focusing my feng shui eyes on my office before I prepare for finals. Practitioners cannot guarantee specific results, but "millions of people have benefited from the extraordinary power of feng shui," according to an associate from the Western School of Feng Shui in Solana Beach, CA. Personally - I 'm a true believer and suggest that before you shrug this off as silly superstition, give it a try. The results may astound you! CLUBS C ont From pg. 1 The form requires that applicants attach CPR/FA certification cards and Association/Professional Certifications as well as a Waiver Release Form, a list of Potential Hazards and an account of any Physical Contact Activity. Signatories vouch that nobody will drink alcohol or light fireworks at the event. If a club plans to travel, "it is required that an ASI travel packet be completed and turned in to the ASI Business Office. . . two weeks prior to traveling date." Approval for use of campus facilities should be secured six weeks prior to any event, using a "Facility Request Form.," signed by club advisor and ASI Executive Director. Darlene Willis, Executive Director of ASI, stressed that any and all clubs must manage their money through ASI exclusively^ Any funds collected by any club must be turned over to the ASI, with a completed deposit form. That o ffice sends the money to Long Beach via Federal Express. Any money spent must be requested at least nine days in advance, by 5:00pm Tuesday. The request is forwarded to Long Beach via Federal Express and the check returned to ASI via Federal Express. Clubs may collect their money the following week, on Thursday, a fter 2:00pm. Checks not collected "by two weeks of issuance" are voided. Compliance with this official process is mandatory f or campus clubs. Clubs attempting to raise money are cautioned that "Sales of any items which might be similar to merchandise available in the University Bookstore must be approved by the Executive Director of the CSUSM Foundation or his/her designee." Food sales require the approval of the Environmental Health Services Department. Any musical events, dances, films, speakers and fine arts events where admission is charged or donations collected require the approval of the club advisor, ASI Business Office, Public Safety and the University Risk Management Office. Liability issues figured prominently in the agenda, particularly the legal liability of advisors. The meeting was mandatory. According to the mandate, o fficers and advisors who failed to attend—for whateyer reason—faced "non-recognition." At the meeting, however, o fficials announced that a second session would be scheduled for those who couldn't attend the first. MACARIO Cont.

ATTENTION WORK STUDY STUDENTS THE PRIDE IS HIRING STUDENT ASSISTANTS Recycling for the Future June H odges PRIDE STAFF WRITER On Monday, Nov. 15, 1999, CSUSM holds its 3rd annual "America Recycles Day" and the "Dumpster Dive." The goal is to educate the campus community on the importance of recycling and the importance of looking for and buying merchandise that states: 'Made f rom RecycledContent Materials.' The theme of the program, "For Our Children's F uture...Buy Recycled Today," reinforces the fact that we must conserve our natural resources for coming generations. The message is that if we don't use recycled materials to make new products, then recycling is j ust another form of throwing things away. , Facility Services will staff a table from 10:00am to 2:00pm on November 15 and will share information about the program. Activities planned for the day center on the "Dumpster Dive," an activity that outfits faculty members, staff, and students in protective clothing so they can dive into to Extended Studies and the Faculty Parking lot). Participants will descend into waste heaven, otherwise known as the trash receptacles, to retrieve and identify items for recycling, besides the usual items. The Dive takes place after lunch, behind the FCB Building. This adjacent activity also serves to reduce the amount of waste taken to landfills, and to increase awareness of CSUSM's recycling program. Participants in the Dumpster Dive receive a free noon time lunch of pizza and soft drinks, so reserve a spot in the bin. Participants may also show up the day of the event. Dedicated volunteers will sort, categorize, and weigh trash with an assist from Bill Dean who is with Edco Waste and Recycling. Facility Services and Edco are sponsors of the event. Please call Patti Holden at Extension 4614 with your reservation "for a spot in the bin."

The ceremony, commemorating veterans of all of the armed forces, will be held next to the Kellogg Library main entrance, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. The ceremony will be a joint celebration for Veterans Day and the 230th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps, which is on Nov. 10. The ceremony will consist of a color guard, a reading from a letter from the Marine Corps Commandant and a cake cutting ceremony. The cake cutting ceremony will be an opportunity where a piece of cake is presented to the youngest Marine on campus, Cpl. Jorge Caro, and the oldest Marine on campus, Joe The University Police Department received two reports of sexual battery in October. These are the only reported cases — there have been no confirmed reports of rape. Chief of Police, Aaron Woodard, has confirmed that the first sexual battery incident reported occurred on the night of Oct. 20 when a 19year-old male approached a 16year-old female, while at University Village. "Through our investigation of this case we received word of the second incident that occurred approximately three weeks prior to the first, which involved the same 19-year-old male," said Woodard. According to Woodard and Lt. Douglass Miller, they have a strong lead in the case as to who the suspect is. He is not a student at CSUSM, and currently he is classified as a strong suspect in this matter. Currently, this case is in the hands of the District Attorney's Office for further investigation.

XIV NO. 11 The Board of Trustees of the California State University adopted and approved a 2006-2007 budget request and fee increase proposal on Oct. 27, 2005. The State University Fee for undergraduate and credential students will be increased by eight percent, and will increase by ten percent for graduate students, according to the California State University web site. The web site also states that revenue from the student fee increase will be $107 million. Thirty-three percent of the revenue will be used to provide $32.7 million in additional funds for the State University Grant financial aid program, providing financial aid access to 5,100 additional students. The revenue from the budget request and fee increase will also be used to fund increases in health benefits, new space, service-based salary increases for certain employee groups, and higher energy costs. The current 2005-2006 annual State University Fee is $2,520 combined with the average campus-based fees totaling $664, makes the CSU average for tuition a total of $3,164 for undergraduates. A link to the Finance Committee Agenda/Student Fee Schedule is provided on the CSU web site for a detailed 2006-2007 fee schedule. Many people wonder why the board members are resorting to taking money from the students.

SGI stands for Soka Gakkai S PEAKER, from page 1 The event will be hosted on Tuesday Nov. 15 at the Clarke Field House, room 113, from 11:30-12:30 p.m. With the support of ASI, pizza and refreshments will be available for all participants. Dr. Cyrus Masroori, advisor of Model United Nations Club, highlighted that Sorensen will be focusing on "The United Nations and Challenges of the 21st Century" and she'll be pre- International which translates to: create value. "We believe each person has Buddha in them," said Eiko Okita, club treasurer. "By praying, people can reach Buddha in nature." Okita went on to explain that Buddhism believes in cause and effect, "Whatever you cause, you get the effect." The club's goal is to introduce Buddhism to the campus. Buddhism has multiple sects and the SGI club follows the Nichiren Daishonin (NSIC). "SGI is a Buddhist association with more than 12 million members in 190 countries and territories worldwide," Said Frank Rojas, SGI Buddhist Club president. "This Buddhism aims to awaken people to the limitless potential and value of their own lives. Buddhist philosophy and practice bring about a positive transformation in the depths of life, transforming fear into courage, deluded impulses into wisdom, and egotism to compassiori." "We believe people are responsible for their own life and they can change their life," said LouAnn Berg, the SGI local office community relations coordinator. The local office for SGI is located in San Marcos and can be found on the Web site for SGI at < http://www.sgi-usa.org/cgibin/locator.cgi>. "In India the word Buddha was originally a common noun meaning "awakened one," but in Buddhism it is used to mean one who has become awakened to the ultimate truth of life. In Hinayana the word means one who has entered the state of nirvana, in which both body and mind are extinguished." http://www.sgi-usa.org/ "Our members reflect a cross section of our diverse American society, representing a broad range of ethnic and social back-. grounds," reads the SGI web site. "I cannot tell you how much a complete turn-around its done on my life, helping me achieve my dreams my educational goalsGPA, relationship, finances, and overall happiness," said Rojas about Buddhism. The club started its recognition process on campus in September and became official in October. This will be the first meeting for the club. The event will serve snacks and beverages. For more information contact the local office at 760.591.9738 or email Frank Rojas at <frankienj @yahoo.com>. pared to field any questions or inquiries students, faculty or staff may have about U N. policies or positions in international relations. "I hope students take advantage of this event," said Masroori. "Students have good questions about the United Nations. I cannot think of many people with more direct information about the United Nations than Ms. Sorensen. Events like this are not easy to. organize. The Model United Nations at CSUSM has worked hard to make this possible. In part, by organizing this event we want to thank the university, and particularly the students, for supporting student organizations like ours. We hope that students' participation in this event give us incentive to work even harder to contribute to our university by bringing more speakers in the f uture." This event is made possible through CSUSM's Model United Nations Club, the Department of Political Science, the U.N. Foundation and ASI. The event is free-of-charge and expected to be a "fortunate" experience for all who attend, according to Masroori. "The United Nations has played an important part in bringing peace and security, humanitarian relief, health and education to people around the world. Probably because of the magnitude of its missions, it has also been subject to criticism," Masroori explained. "A good example is the way that the U.N. has dealt with the situation in Iraq since early 1990's. Students have questions about the U.N., its usefulness, and its problems (e.g. oil for food program). Here is a great opportunity to learn more about the organization and ask questions aboutit."

We want to support that tradition," said Elizabeth Sheets, ASI's director of social programming. She went on to express how great veterans are. Currently, John Segoria, director of Disabled Student Services, has been filling the role of coordinator for the Veterans Club until Corkie's replacement is found. The color guard will be hosted by students currently enrolled at Cal State San Marcos in the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program (MECEP). The program allows active duty enlisted Marines to attend college while on active duty in order td complete their college education and become officers. The color guard consists of Staff Sgt. Kevin Penn, Staff Sgt. Mike Holt, Sgt. Ben Carter, and Sgt. Nathan Loomis. The event is being organized by Gunnery Sgt. Dennis Herold. "We want to pay tribute, not just to veterans, but to their families as well," said Herold. Segoria has estimated that there are nearly 400 veterans and dependents of veterans attending Cal State San Marcos.

Sowa, who was part of the band "Travesty," placed three of their songs on the album. Sowa describes the other featured artists as friends and the CD itself as a compilation of San Diego artists and a representation of San Diego's culture, along with his own. " But" said Sowa, "there is much more that did not make it on the CD." Before becoming a Cougar, Sowa attended SDSU for three years, followed by classes at both San Diego City College and Mesa College. He is currently in his second semester as a Communications major here at CSUSM, where he appreciates having a lot of the same people in his classes, all the technological resources, and always being able to find a parking spot. When asked about the first time he began playing guitar, Sowa said he was about ten years old and that he enjoyed playing his favorite songs and playing for friends. Currently, Sowa is in a nameless threepiece. He met Nick, who plays guitar and bass for the new band, at the SDSU dorms in 1998. The drummer, Jasha, arrived through Ed Barrena, Sowa's roommate. "(We were) stoked about creating music and (to) move forward with being a group," said Sowa. Bradley Nowell of Sublime and Bob Marley hold high places in Sowa's music hall of fame, but despite their excessive popularity here, Sowa says that it was great being in Souhern California because of the "diversity of music." Sowa recalls the first year he was in the dorms, when some friends played the guitar, and it united them. Later on, according to Sowa, a guitar "showed up" at his house and he began to play. "It's a cool privilege to reprodupe your favorite songs and play them whenever you want." When asked if he liked where his future was headed, Sowa said he is content but wishes he could play more often. "It's hard when you love something and can't give enough time to it. It's frustrating." When asked If the music industry was challenging Sowa offered this bit of advice: "Yes, but (the longer you hold o ff) the pressure to sign to record, the more you are independent. When you sign they own your music." He went on to explain that independent musicians need to network, make and hand outflyers,and promote themselves. "Just spread the word, and spread the music... when you put it down it doesn't get out."

In a speech at the National Institute of Health, Bush explained his plan for education and prevention, and treatment in the event of an outbreak of Avian Flu. United Nations officials are warning that the newest outbreak of avian flu, identified as H5N1, could lead to a pandemic killing upwards of 150 million people. However, according to comments made to the BBC News on line edition, World Health Organization spokesman Dick Thompson said the death toll would be between two million and 7.4 million. According to Mr. Thompson, "There is obvious confusion, and I think that has to be straightened out." A pandemic is an epidemic which affects large portions of the global population. Other worldwide pandemics, also mutated from avian flu, include the Asian flu, which killed about four million people in 1957, and the Hong Kong flu, which killed about one million people in 1968. Swine flu, another virus which can be transferred from animals to humans, is responsible for the deaths of over 30 people in China so far this year. Unlike the avian flu, which can be contracted by merely coming into contact with infected birds, according to the Calgary Herald, swine flu is "contracted by slaughtering, handling, or eating infected pigs." Although there is confusion among experts as to how many deaths would result from a pandemic, there is no confusion about the source of the virus. Scientists have determined that the flu virus that killed 50 million people worldwide in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic is similar to the avian, or bird flu which has killed over 60 people in Asia, primarily Vietnam, since 1997. Avian flu is spread by migrating birds which infect domestic flocks of chickens and turkeys. Jeffrey Taubenberger, from the U.S. Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, reported that the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak can be traced to an "avian-like virus that adapted to humans." Researchers have replicated the virus grown from samples of tissue from victims of the Spanish flu. Pharmaceutical companies, like Roche, have begun to develop vaccines for that specific virus, although a vaccine may be several months away. In order to contract avian flu, a person must be simultaneously infected with the avian strain and the human strain of influenza. At that point of contagion, the virus can mutate and then spread by human-to-human contact. While thefluvirus seems to strike primarily healthy, middleaged people between the ages of 18 and 34, scientists believe that some elderly people may have some immunity to the virus if they were exposed to it in 1918. Although experts differ about the number of fatalities, they all agree that it is not a matter if the virus mutates and begins to spread among the human population, but when. Infected birds are being slaughtered throughout Asia and Europe, and several areas in Turkey and Romania have implemented quarantine strategies, including limiting travel in and out of cities that have reported avian flu. According to the October 16 issue of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Poland has "banned the sale of live birds at open-air markets and ordered farmers to keep poultry in closed quarters..." While national health organizations are scrambling to develop and implement strategies forfightingthis threat, there are currently no plans to regulate travel. During the SARS epidemic in 2003, travelers coming in ajid out of Asia were screened for the virus. Travelers exhibiting signs of fever or respiratory distress were not allowed to fly. In a report in the Journal of Infection, A.G. Gupta evaluated the efficacy of quarantine during the SARS outbreak. He reported, "Our results indicate that quarantine is effective in containing newly emerging infectious diseases, and also cost saving when compared to not implementing a widespread containment mechanism." And, he concluded, "Despite somewhat daunting initial costs, quarantine saves both lives and money." The United States Department of Health and Human Services issued a Draft Pandemic Influenza Response and Preparedness Plan on August 26, 2004. In the press release which accompanied the Plan, then-HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson said, "This plan will serve as our roadmap on how we as a nation, and as a member of the global health community, respond to the next pandemic influenza out break, whenever that may be." According to the Pandemic Plan, the spread of SARS, and other infectious influenzas in the past, was greatly reduced by quarantining infectious people, as well as closing off uninfected areas to travel. The difficulty with quarantine in the current epidemic is that the incubation time for this specific virus is up to 14 days, which means that apparently healthy, yet contagious, people will be able to travel. While the U.S. government has a detailed plan in place to manage the spread of avian flu, its success depends greatly on public cooperation. The Pandemic Influenza Plan and more information can be found on the government web site at www. pandemicflu.gov. New vaccines must be developed each year because the strain changes. Flu season runs between October and March, and the best time to be vaccinated is October or November. December, however, is not too late. The shot can take up to two weeks to become effective. Last season'sfluvaccine shortage caused long lines and generated panic. There are no shortages being reported so far this year, and people are being encouraged to get a flu shot as soon as possible. Most insurance companies don't cover the cost, which can be anywhere from $10 to $35. The Flu Mist vaccine, which contains the live flu virus, is available for about $35 in limited areas to healthy people between the ages offiveand 49. Although no vaccine exists yet tofightthe avianflustrain of influenza, there are precautions that people can take to protect themselves and others from becoming sick. For example, focus on regular exercise and good nutrition; a healthy body has better immunity. Wash hands frequently, and if you become ill, stay home to avoid infecting others. Get a flu shot; even if it's not for the avian flu strain, the shot will prevent you from catching this year's strain and prevent a weakened immune system. If you catch the flu in spite of these precautions, there are medications which can shorten the duration of the flu. Tamiflu, the brand name of the anti-viral medication amantadine, must be prescribed by a doctor within 48 hours of the onset of thè flu.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Last week, when I might have simply made myself festively sick on candy and rubber, fortune's gourd decided to smile upon me. In reality she was smiling primarily on my friend, but I caught her eerie glow by proxy. You see, this dear friend of mine, a moderate authority on a number of things oft-associated with Halloween, was again called upon by a former Palomar College professor to serve as a timely guest speaker. Although this professor now lectures at Case Western University in Cleveland, she was able to treat out some private funds to provide travel and boarding fees for both himself and a guest-assistant. It's hard enough to afford rent within San Diego, much less pleasure travel from it, so I naturally jumped at the opportunity.

Did this atmosphere, or the details of a more private institution make the students seem any brighter? Not especially, but as we arrived with little time to spare, we had to attend to their patience and good humor for what must have seemed a somewhat haphazard presentation. All in all, like most classes, there were a handful who strived to get their money's worth while the rest fancied they were waiting to punch their own time clock. When I think about the class time I missed for this rare opportunity, my only regret is that I didn't do some of the work ahead of time, unaccustomed as I am to missing class time, and unaccustomed as I am to doing any more class work than necessary. I wonder now, if this more overt taste of travel, mixing business with pleasure, will affect the remainder of my time at this local school, among so much local lack of color. Rather than look for irony or steeled justification in my near-graduate restlessness, I think I'll thankfully trick myself into further blurring the lines between taking holiday, and reporting abroad.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer In the interest of everyone at CSUSM, the Pride has brought together two interviews, one conducted last semester directly with professor Susan Fellows of the LTWR department, the other by recent email to Professor Marshall Whittlesey of Mathematics. Here they both respond to questions regarding grade inflation, an issue equally pertinent to all sides of the report card. Hopefully, through comparing answers given by educators in such contrastedfields,readers will gain both insight and foresight into their college experience. S. Fellows: Do we have the same concept of what grade inflation equates to, that of lowering academic standards concerning what earns one grade over another? Yeah, absolutely. One theory circulating is that9 in the United States, this became truly epidemic during the Vietnam War where professors lowered standards to save students from the draft. Is that accurate? I don't know if that's the reason, but it certainly happened that it was what's known as the 'great dumbing down.' Classes that were formerly taught weren't taught because they were no longer 'relevant'. That's when you began to get a slippage of realrigorousacademic thinking. And I saw it a lot in what was being produced in the colleges at that time. The late 60s, early 70s? I'd say more in the early 70s. And I'm not aware of it being part of the draft, it could very well be. I certainly would do that. Hypothetically, "if" it's happening here, would it be something that would be formally practiced by the professors practice of their own volition, or would it be something encouraged directly by the administrators? I'm seeing now with incoming freshman is that they are-not-educated-to-the-levelthey-should-be to go to die university. We have too much remediation, and one semester cannot undo 7th through 12th very poor education. I have a lot of students who've never read a book. What effects do you see beyond the classroom? Well, I think the administrative level of speaking about it is: 'we will not have grade inflation, graderigorously'BUT were supposed to graduate people on time, and we're supposed to get them through our classes expeditiously. Students are paying a lot of money for the classes, taking out loans, so it seems a subtext where you want to give them as much the advantage of the doubt as possible. If they're really doing failing work, they don't pass the class. But on the other hand if they're doing ' C' work and need a ' B' to get into graduate school, well, I don't care, nobody seems to be saying anything. So the unspoken thing is 'just get help them through, because they've had such a lousy high school education, and they're so unaware, so just help them get through and maybe they can learn something at some other point. But I think it's VERY uneven among the professors. It's much more difficult in the humanities because things are more abstract and subjective, it's much easier to berigorouswith the sciences. One theory circulating is that, in the United States, this became truly epidemic during the Vietnam War where professors lowered standards to save students from the draft. Is that accurate? Businesses are complaining a lot that new hires don't know how to write, they don't know how to think, they just want to go through the motions. We're not going to come up with new paradigms if we don't understand how to take elements in a historical process. We are going to suffer as a country if we don't know how to take a risk in thinking. And if you look at China and India, they're way ahead of us. If you just pick up "The Economist" you'll see we're in their debt financially and now intellectually as well. What do you think we can do to counteract this? I have a theory that we need to blow up the entire school system and start over, because the people already in the middle of it are lost. Unless you've been lucky How do you respond to the speculation that grade inflation, as it exists now, is a means of keeping enrollment numbers up, or at least maintained? e nough t o c ome from a background with really good educational access, the California school systems is in a freefall. Blowing it up is really radical, but I honestly don't know at this point. And it's not that we don't have good teachers, but we don't pay teachers enough to encourage them to go into education. I don't know, that would imply some kind of conspiracy theory, I don't know. I just know that the UC, CSU, community colleges are paid by the number of students sitting in the classrooms. I would hate to think that.. .but it may be. M. Whittlesey: At the school now there are no administrators officially encouraging it, but it's indirect? Do we have the same concept of what grade inflation equates to, that of lowering academic standards concerning what earns one grade over another? Exactly. What are some of the effects you're seeing now? I think our concept is basically the same. But the exact scale would not matter so much, if only grades distinguished Well I'm really worried, because what E gg Donors Needed people. Part of the problem is that when grade inflation happens, more people are getting the same kinds of grades (A and B, usually). If everybody is getting A and B, how do people (e.g., employers) determine which students are better than others? Maybe the problem of grade inflation is more one of selective inflation: some grades get raised (B,C, etc.) but you can't make A any higher than it is already. raordlnarywconceptions Building Families, Inc.

Well, it depends on what you mean by 'own volition'. Every professor is evaluated by students at the end of the semester and works with the knowledge that those evaluations might affect his or her career. And every professor knows that students with higher grades are happier students, and happier students usually give better evaluations.

There are plenty of other current trends to explain what's going on. More people are going to college expecting to pass; there are political pressures in that. Higher education is big business; institutions are expected to grow. The state gives us admission targets, so we admit students to reach those. Are we supposed to expect that graduation rates will remain the same? If so, that can result in grade inflation. Also, the rise of student evaluations in the 1960s made it a lot tougher to be hard on students - if your career depends on what students say about you, you're probably going to go easier on them.

I don't know any in the sciences who give higher grades just because they felt like it. (I really know little about grading outside the sciences.) But we all do have a general sense that failure rates shouldn't be too high. I can't say I have felt any pressure from above, however - and I give lot of low grades. It would be rare if an administrator encouraged this 'directly'. For the record, student evaluations are mandated by the collective bargaining agreement between the faculty and the state of California. How they are used exactly is determined by local promotion and tenure committees, and administrators. Have you ever worked for, or seen a school where grade inflation was happening? Could you describe what you've seen as, or what would see as inconsistencies in academic standards? e lect, i t's r easonable t o e xpect standards will come down.

If college is a Iü| Different departments have different grading cultures. Some give a lot of low grades and others do not. Some of the future implications? What effects do you see beyond the classroom? The real problem with grade inflation is that grades cease to become meaningful to people who look at transcripts. If employers hire one of our graduates with lots of good grades and they cannot do basic things, we have a credibility problem. Future effects: more employers not taking B A degrees seriously, and more people going to graduate programs because their college transcript isn't meaningful enough. Colleges need to decide what the purpose of grading is. Are we trying to provide a system whereby students' talent can be distinguished? Is a class where everybody gets A or B meaningful? What do you think can be done to counteract grade inflation, and or the 30 if I'm fear of it? (1) I think the current minimum GPA's for graduation are too high. Title V of the state education regulations require that every students graduate with a GPA of at least 2.0 overall and in their major. What does this accomplish? It's just a pie-in-the-sky Lake Wobegon ' we're all above average' ideal that we can't possibly reach. If the min GPA were 1.0, would our graduates be any different? I doubt it. Grades given might be lower, but it wouldn't reflect less learning, just a different grading scale, and would be more meaningful to employers. (2) If faculty felt assured that their careers would not be jeopardized (via student evaluations) by giving bad grades, that would make a difference. (3) We need to return dignity to the grade of C. Nowadays, it's often the lowest possible grade to get by to something else, and most people regard it as a bad grade. (4) Students and the public at large need to be made aware of the effects of grade inflation: that their degrees are taken less seriously. Whether perceived as a mixed blessing, or slow poison, surely there are few students and fewer educators, entirely willing to dismiss grade inflation as a bureaucratic phantom. The Pride sincerely hopes to investigate this matter further with the help of both students, staff and the administration.

I don't have any study to back that up, though. TWIN OAKS CLEANERS i^í^ift^Nt^ lil What Well, enrollment is probably a factor. We're in this business to make a living, after all. I think it is not as much of a factor here as it is elsewhere, however. My reasons for saying so are (1) when a student fails a class, it's not as much of a financial calamity as it is at private institutions. Students know they can take the course again for a modest fee. I fail far more students here than the private institution I once worked at. There, failing students results in lots of angry parents who spent tens of thousands of dollars on their kid and they will complain. (2) California, Cal State and North County in particular are growing so fast that we don't seem to have too much trouble finding students to come here. (3) If we lose enrollment to community colleges because we grade too hard, the state isn't as likely to give us a hard time about it, because the community colleges cost the state less money. This is a big factor. In the last few decades many more people have started going to college who in past generations would not have. I fcollegiate education is to be for the masses instead of for the Perhaps I could rephrase your question: have I ever worked at a school where students got C's in classes where their grade did not represent meaningful mastery of the material in the course? Absolutely. The Pride student newspaper competitive place where lots of people get C's and A's are hard to get, it's probably not going to be much fun. What of more macrocosmic theories, that political forces are encouraging a 'dumbing down9 of students? That's hard to answer yes or no, mainly because it's hard to tell if one is being consistent from semester to semester in grading rigor. I don't give the same exams semester to semester, so I can't compare students exactly. www.esusm.edui How do you respond to the speculation that grade inflation, as it exists now, is a means of keeping enrollment numbers up, or at least maintained?

CA 92078 �8 F EATURES Tuesday, November 8, 2005 THE PRIDE University Village expansion BY SHELLY MONROE Pride Staff Writer In Spring of2006, there will be a market study conducted, which will determine when new residential hall apartments will be coming to Cal State San Marcos. This study will look at University needs, student expectations, affordability, building costs, and student and University needs. Cal State San Marcos will be working with a marketing consulting firm who will interview students, study surrounding rental markets, look at the future of enrollment, the cost of construction and evaluate when they might be able to afford to build a project that will have full occupancy, when they open the residential hall apartments. University Village Director, Brian Dawson says, "The campus has planned for multiple stages of housing to be built with the goal of housing between seven to ten percent of the student population. We currently house only four percent of students with 468 beds. The University is looking at constructing a parking deck and housing to be built for 20102011, if the market study shows this demand." During the next ten years, Cal State San Marcos expects to add more housing next to the existing University Village, and plans to develop a new location just to the southeast of the existing faculty/staff parking lot. Currently, University Village housing costs are set to increase three percent per year annually to cover the increased expenses of utilities, staffing and maintenance. Depending on what the university builds next, the cost may be more or less depending on the demand and construction costs. The university wants to provide excellent services where a student can succeed in school. With the market study, the university will see what services students want and need, the cost of building and managing and how much students are willing to pay for these services. "What it means for students, is more access to Cal State San Marcos. Some college students consider only those colleges where they can be assured of having on-campus housing. More live-on campus opportunities for freshman and depending upon demand and enrollment growth, possibly more space for students who want to live on campus more than one or two years," mentioned Marti Gray, executive director of D O YOU KNOW HOW TO U SE...

I really have tried. A fter I've turned the game on I've taped my eyelids to my eyebrows, thrown away the remote control, and tied myself to a chair. However, the T.V. somehow finds its way to a basketball or football game. I thought that after the short hiatus I would have been more interested. I watch the occasional period or two of the Kings game whenever I pass by Fox Sports Net. Now that the Outdoor Life Network is carrying NHL games, the sport is no longer on my radar. I mean, I don't even know what channel OLN is on. I do like the rule changes that the NHL has adopted, such as shoot outs if there is no winner after overtime, and the limitation on goalie equipment. However, the sport just doesn't interest me, and no, it's not because I can't skate more than two feet without falling down and catching frostbite. I think Comedian Alonzo Bodden said it best when he claimed it's hard to like a sport where the darkest thing on the ice is the puck that everyone is trying to smack. There is truth behind all humor and Alonzo brings up the point of diversity. Several months ago I was at The Laugh Factory in Hollywood for a taping of the "Best Damn Sports Show Period". Alonzo was one of the comedians on the show, and after his set I had a conversation with him about this subject. I came to the realization why Hockey hasn't peaked my interest to this point in my life. I can't identify with any of the hockey players. Off the top of my head I don't know of any Latin hockey players. Please, if you know of one, bring it to my attention. Also, without doing research, the only African-American hockey player I know of is Donald Brashear. Once again, if you know of others then drop me an E-mail. It's widely known that in the hood or barrio there are more basketball courts and baseball fields than ice rinks, which explains why there are so few great Caucasians in the NBA, and hardly any great African-Americans and Latinos in the NHL. Why is this accepted? Is this just another form of segregation? I know all of you don't want to hear this, especially those of you who complain that I don't write enough about sports, but it's something that's on my mind. I mean I haven't even been to a hockey games and sports consume a large portion of my life. I want to like hockey, but in order for things to change, the sport is going to need a Tiger Woods. Look what happened to the game of golf when Tiger began having success. AfricanAmericans all of a sudden hit the links in unison. The same can happen in hockey. Don't act like this is Calculus. It is really quite simple. When you see someone doing something positive, and they look like you, it helps you realize that you can do what they are doing. I don't know when the Tiger of the NHL will roar, but I am sure I won't have to tie myself to a chair to watch. If you have any praise (haha, who am I kidding?), topic suggestions, questions, comments (No, I am not going to stop talking about serious issues), or concerns then send an E-mail to Sando026@csusm.edu.

In my eyes, college ought to be a place where people are inspired to answer critical questions and forge meaningful ideas. It's difficult for me to prioritize the need to determine whether or not folks have a right to sell meaningless sex to strangers. I guess I just expect students to act more like Socrates, and less like Jerry Springer. Part 2: Would Joe/Sally Taxpayer be likely to agree to appropriate his/her tax dollars to the state so that an institution could host events for sex-worker advocates? Many taxpayers already things that help everyone. Furthermore, I think that some people simply take for granted the fact that public institutions are in large part financed by the public. Such a fact ought to compel those in charge of our funds to show an interest in being accountable to taxpayers. Part 3: Would you reveal to your younger sister that you organized/hosted an event for a sex-worker advocate? Call me a softie, but I care very much about the sort of America that my younger sister grows up in. It seems as though there is already plenty of pressure/influence on younger woman these days to engage in random sexual acts. I can't imagine one trying to explain to his/her younger sister why he/she organized/hosted an event for people that don't seem to care about such an influence. So for the foregoing reasons, your political commentator feels disappointed that his student government would host such an event. And sitting here in Kellogg Library, I'm looking at my fellow scholars and wondering if they too feel disappointed. If you folks do, then I might consider that to be evidence that the political climate here on campus is a healthy one. If you folks do not, then I'm probably just an elitist, uptight, fraud of a liberal.

San Marcos, a 92078 �THE PRIDE A ndrew A &E Kenny plays at M-Theory Records BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Andrew Kenny, the lead singer of The American Analog Set, made a solo performance in a dark corner of M-Theory Records, a North Park record shop. The solo performance on Wednesday Nov. 2, 2005, was scheduled before the band's set later that night at The Casbah. The crowd waited, as 8 o'clock turned to 8:15. Finally around 8:30, a black oldschool Chevy pulled up to the curb. Local resident and musician Jimmy LaVelle, the brain child behind "The Album Leaf," stepped out of the car with non other than Andrew Kenny himself. They pushed through the crowd and towards the back of the store, short-stack amp in hand, with a fellow band member carrying his guitar. After Kenny spent a short time setting up, the music in the store came to a halt as the needle was lifted from the record player with an abrupt scratch. "Testing," said Kenny, then with a couple of taps on the microphone, he introduced himself in a saccharine way. Jumping right into the songs, Kenny started with "Jr," a soft blend of guitar and Kenny's easy voice. He immediately thanked the crowd for applauding after the end of thefirstsong, noting something about San Diego's weather. For the next song, Kenny played "Immaculate Heart 1," which was a little more upbeat than the first. The song, off of the new album "Set Free," was different Photo by Bryan Mason / The Pride to hear without the full band, but Kenny pulled even this solo performance off with grace, not missing a single beat as he made it clear that he was there to entertain. For the last songs, Kenny played a mixture of fast and slow. The crowd responded to these songs with a variety of expres- sions, some patrons looked awe-struck, others looked content. Kenny later went on to play a twentyone and up show at The Casbah later that night. The short pre-show at M-Theory was a great way to get in touch with fans and for i m m I «PUH.! M usic H ouse a nd S ports G rill 2 for Kenny to show his appreciation for fans of all ages, not just the twenty-one plus crowd.

They are shipped Kuwait which creates world wide to Saudi Arabia where they're told attention. This was first known that casualties could be very high. as Operation Desert Shield and But at camp, they spend their days and nights training, debating differences, masturbating, writing and receiving letters from home, hydrating, dehydrating, playing football in 112 degree heat in full body gas suits, and whatever else they can do to keep themselves from being bored and disappointed from a promise of a war that isn't delivered. "Jarhead" spends a lot of time describing what these men go through psychologically. Other war movies stress what can happen to the men psychologically when they are in war. "Jarhead" stresses realistically what can happen when not in war. These men are eager to use what they learned in basic training in actual combat but instead they wait and wait and wait. After spending months in the desert, Swofford says "Four days, four hours, one minute. That was my war. I never shot my rifle." The best scene in the film is when Anthony and Troy are sent on a mission to assassinate two enemy military officers. They have the officers in their sights and wait for clearance. When given the go ahead, their finger grips the trigger but in the next second, their commanding officer enters and orders them to stand down. An air strike is in bound and taking the shot would be unnecessary. Shocked and disappointed, Troy explodes. He begs for the opportunity and when refused, he cries, bangs his ^ head on the floor V and punches the ^ f wall. Sarsgaard's | performance makes you absorb the pain and frustration these men share. This film was based on Anthony Swofford's 2003 novel, "Jarhead". Some may question the accuracy of the events portrayed, but I won't. Some aspects from the novel may have been changed for the reputation and consent of the actual people involved, exaggerated sequences, dramatic effect, logistical issues, etc. This is a movie, not a documentary.

Movie night f or C SUSM students BY JASON SAUMUR Pride Staff Writer Students have the opportunity and option to attend a free movie with student ID in hand. Edward's Cinemas and ASI are proud to present free student movie night every month at nine p.m. located at Edwards Cinemas 18 on 1180 West San Macros in the city of San Marcos. This month, on Nov. 15, Edward's will offer the war movie "Jarhead" at the nine p.m. showing for all students to view free with student ID. "Our goal in promoting and providing this activity is to offer students a venue to attend a movie they may have wanted to see but couldn't afford while at the same time fostering a sense of community by having a group of Cal State San Marcos students at a movie together," said Elizabeth Sheets, director of social programming on the ASI Programming Board about the significance of the event to the CSUSM campus. Since Cal State San Marcos is commonly considered a commuter school, the ASI Programming Board promotes a more sustained connection of its student body i o campus and the surrounding community. Sheets also added that ASI attempts to schedule movie nights for Tuesdays because with registration to the Regal Crown Card, students can get free popcorn along with a free movie. According to <www.imdb. com>, "Jarhead" chronicles the missions of a Marine unit during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in the Middle East. The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx. arise, please contact the Director of Social Programming on the ASI Programming Board, Elizabeth Sheets at sheet012@csusm. edu.

Since the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University massacre on April 16,2007, when a single student killed 32 people and injured 25 others, safety regulations for college campuses nationwide have updated their emergency response notification services. Since the massacre, colleges and universities have adopted notification services to alert students in the event of their endangerment. Emergencies continued page 2. Volume XXXVIII the "99 percent" movement has spread to 70 cities worldwide including San Diego, where protestors hold cardboard signs blaming banks and corporations for their nations' financial woes. In San Diego, signs are not being waved in the air and chants 6f "occupy Wall S treet... all day . .. all week" do not echo through the streets. There are only a few dozen protesters gathered in two locations—downtown's San Diego Civic Center Plaza and in Balboa Park. In North County, protestors gathered Oct. 28 and Nov. 4 for marches at the Oceanside Pier. At Cal State San Marcos,.an Occupation Hour took place Oct. 20 in Library Plaza and flyers displayed in the Dome cafeteria say "We are the 99 percent" and "This revolution will not be pri- Emergency vatized." Civic Center Plaza is the central hub of the Occupy San Diego movement. One afternoon last month, about 20 people eating hot dogs and sleeping on blankets were gathered, some speaking into a microphone that America is a "rich are getting richer, poor are getting poorer" society. On Oct. 28, police forced protestors out of the plaza, though some have returned sporadically. Protestors in other cities have demonstrated stronger resistance to police relocation and removal. Among last month's protestors were Phil Lopez and Robert Unger, union faculty members at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, who said that students and teachers fall into the 99 percent.

CSUSM promotes awareness with women's self - defense Kristin Melody Pride Staff Writer "I will survive and keep going, no matter what!" is one* motto for the Rape Aggression Defense System (R.A.D.) courses hosted on campus. This women's self-defense program is a four-day course that occurs Nov. 8, 10, 15 and 17 from 4 - 7 p.m. at the University Police Department. It teaches basic physical defense for women to prevent abduction, harassment, assault or rape. "Statistics show that when women resist [assault] they have a higher likelihood of escaping," CSUSM Police Officer Yosaren Panza said. Although CSUSM is comparatively a safe campus, attacks happen.

The U.S. State Department sent a worldwide notice to CSUSM's Risk Management and Safety Office. Risk Management and Safety, RMS, handles hazardous materials, waste management, environmental concerns, safety concerns and Workers compensation. The department distributed the official warning via emergencyemail .org. The United States travel warning alerted students, faculty and staff to the possibility of "antiU.S. actions." The concern of terrorist activity stemmed from an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States. According to an official release from the Department of Justice, two men with ties to Iran were charged with conspiracy to murder a foreign official and at least three more conspiracy charges. The release continued to say one conspirator, Manssor Arbabsiar, was captured Sept. 29 at JFK International Airport in New York after a failed attempt to fly out of the country, The other man. remains at large.

Party harder." T he d ark s ide of e nergy d rinks A ttempting t o b oost a thletic p erformances f alls flat Jessie Gambrell Pride Staff Writer Energy drinks are a source of energy f or most of us students these days, but are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Most energy drinks contain a mixture of caffeine, sugar, taurine, guarana, cola nut and B vitamins. These mixed components can cause heart palpitations, increased heart rate and blood pressure and dehydration. "The moderate dose of caffeine per day is 250mg which is the equivalent to three cups of coffee," Dr. Michelle Barrack, a professor in the Kinesiology department, said. In 1994, Congress enacted the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which enabled any company to be unregulated by the FDA. "What is in the energy drinks is [sic] reacting with your body in a physiological way," Kaitlyn Siewart, a CSUSM alumnus with a Bachelor's of Science in Kinesiology, said. Some people use energy drinks as a boost for athletic performance. "If you are an athlete, they probably improve performance in moderate to intense exercise... If you are a regular or average individual, benefits are probably less...this has just as much to do with the fact that most physi- cal activity they [sic] do does not merit energy drinks or supplement use, and that research is sparse in less trained persons...," Dr. Todd Astorino of the Kinesiology Department said. But energy drinks are beneficial to athletic performance. "We don't want to show that caffeine is bad for exercise. Caffeine within the limits of caffeine intake can be productive and safe," Dr. Barrack said. Students felt the same. "I used to drink an energy drink before gym session, but after a while you're left off with stomach cramps and a useless sugar rush," CSUSM student Koresh Dashtizadeh said.

Neighborhoodlnc., a company with the same offerings of coupons and daily deals as well as other features, including job services, is developing with an ultimate "people helping people" mission statement: of the money that comes into the company, a percentage goes back to community schools and charities. According to www.neighborhoodinc.org, "[20-50 percent] of membership fees go back to their local schools." While it is free for the Basic Membership and the Charity & Non-Profit Membership, the annual Deluxe Membership is listed at $249 and the annual Premium Membership is listed at $499 meaning with every Deluxe and Premium Membership, 20 - 50 percent will be given back to schools. When it comes to Community Deals, "Our daily coupon site gives 10 percent of net proceeds back to schools [and] charities, a percentage of our yearly net-profit will be given back to the community." Neighborhoodlnc. also offers job services, a work placement program system headed by a staff of recruiters. Through this service, each placement will be followed up with the "Cash Referral & Charity Bonus Program" which gives back a cash referral to the person who assisted in finding a member's j ob, as well as a bonus towards any non-profit charity. The company also provides users of the site with Local Community Calendar. "[The] community calendar offers free advertising for all non-profit organizations so you can connect and support their e vent" Nick Bandejas, founder of Neighborhoodlnc., left the corporate world to start the company, which grew from a series of developments originating from giving back to charities to giving back to charities and the community. Bandejas decided to develop the company with a socialistic approach. "[Neighborhoodlnc.] is not just a marketing company, it's a neighborhood company. We help people find jobs and save money," Bandejas said. Bandejas went on to say that through offering lower costs to businesses, money is given to schools and charities strengthening the company's other services which leads to more money, creating the first truly "green" economy. "The ultimate goal is for Neighborhoodlnc. to come full circle as a self-generating cycle. [It will] ultimately be a goodwill network through loyalty." �Fast f orward your career Take advantage of multiple start dates, no requirement changes, and convenient block scheduling—ideal for working professionals. .1 4 S 0 W e s t M i s s i o n Road San Marcos, CA 9 3069 We buy books year-round INTRODUCING WEDNESDAY, N OV 9 BETW£EN4-<f>PM 8$ffMMM m l ilpp I RedlandsDegrees.com (800) 862-8291 ^ww.FheQÜADSariMar€ö5»c0rFi ? éQJ5£.27) I I 3Ü5 C a m p u s V iew O ive j S an " Education+ Apple Valley | Rancho Cucamonga | Redlands j Santa Ana | Temecula .

Prior to the CWLS event, Cain and Bryant joined Professor Sandra Doller's creative writing workshop course for an hour-long private panel. Doller assigned students Cain's book "I Go to Some Hollow" and Bryant's book "Unexplained Presence." By taking part in this intimate Q&A panel, the class gained insight into the authors' experiences regarding such topics as authorial research, the publishing process, small-press publishing and personal experiences in workshop settings. Shortly after 7 p.m., Dr. Mark Wallace introduced Bryant as a brave risk-taker in her writing—- her risks both bold and subtle. Bryant told the audience how happy she was to be reading. "It's like a little vacation out of L.A.," she said. After, she read her short story "Under Cover of Darkness" from her book "Unexplained Presence." During her reading of the text, Bryant paused to refer to the inter-textuality of the classic film "The Women" mentioned in the story. She acknowledged her vocal reference as a type of intertextuality. She followed "Under Cover of Darkness" with an excerpt f rom her manuscript called "The Curator." Wallace introduced Cain and her collection of short stories, which touched on issues of sensitivity and loneliness. First, Cain read her short story "Ugly Things." She followed with a reading of "Two-Dimensional War" from her book "I Go to Some Hollow."

They touched on such topics as networking, personal inspiration and their interests in writing in other mediums, including screenplays. Bryant and Cain's readings and presence at the CWLS event defined why these events are held, with Bryant's insight into her work and Cain's voice complimenting her text. "If [students] want to aspire to be published authors, they need to go [to CWLS]," Literature and Writing Studies student Morgan Orr said. These two featured authors precisely revealed the importance of these events- being held at CSUSM: to educate students on the literary community and world with firsthand experiences and interactions with writers. Kyle M. Johnson Amy Salisbury Pride Staff Writer Occupy Wall Street brings to mind three things: protest, politics, and pepper spray. I could have included police brutality in that list, but I couldn't think of a synonym for "brutality" that started with a P. Anyway, Occupy Wall Street is indeed the sticky-sweet topic of choice on every American's lips right now, especially considering the movement's expansion to downtown San Diego. The Civic Center lay empty in the early hours of Oct. 28 after San Diego police took 51 campers into custody for a variety of charges—unsanitary conditions damaging city property, illegal lodging, encroachment and curfew violations—according to the Union Tribune. The journalist writing the Tribune article interviewed many protesters, but only one of them—the event organizer—directly commented on the purpose of the evening's sit-in: they were protesting a plan to spend $200 billion over the next 40 years on transportation projects. Occupy Wall Street's origins have little to do with California building projects. In fact, every "Occupy" incarnation has a different aim. While the majority of its related demonstrations have something to do with American finances (thus the use of the 99 percent versus the one percent idea), there is no collective objective that occupiers can name. I have little faith in a nationwide movement operating under a shared name that can't explain what a successful result of said movement would be. Sure, protesters want less corporate fingers Pride Staff Writer in their pockets, but there is a way protesters could have prevented that in the first place: by having a bit of foresight. A lot of civil unrest is directly related to banks offering loans to people who can't make the payments—quite reflective of the Californian foreclosure disaster a few years ago. It was stupid for banks to offer $500,000 home loans to people making a $30,000 a year salary. It was equally stupid for people making $30,000 a year to take a loan of that size to pay an epically large mortgage. Likewise, it is stupid for students to take out loans to go to college if paying it back is not something feasible within the next couple of years. However, many occupiers cite the difficulty of paying back student loans as one of the many items to protest. If occupiers really want to shake up the system, they need to pull their money out of the banks that have done them wrong. Loans are the lifeblood of banking; without them, the banks will have to find another way to survive. Living outside of your means, as many Americans tend to do, will bite back faster than you can hang up on a collections call. Take this opportunity to fight the one percent with what they love most: your money. At any rate, the irony of Occupy Wall Street exists in the youth of the nation passing along information about sit-ins through Facebook and iPhones. As much as people are protesting the system, they have to realize that their actions keep them comfortably tethered to it. Christmas comes early this year with "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas." The result is a f un Christmas film that also acts as a loyal sequel to its film series. This time around, stoner buddies Harold and Kumar (John Cho and Kal Penh, respectively) are back several years after the incidents from the previous films "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" and "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay." They each live their separate lives, Harold a successful married man and Kumar still the same old Kumar, but depressed over his recent break-up. A mysterious present arrives for Harold at Kumar's apartment which reunites the old friends for a Christmas Eve of outrageous events. This entry in the "Harold & Kumar" series surpasses the second film in entertainment value and humor and comes close to the original. With an abundance of the series' conventional racial stereotyping, drug use and absurd plot development, the film remains consistent to its predecessors. Some of the humor is very tongue-incheek, as Harold is referred to as Sulu (Cho's character in the most recent "Star Trek" film) and Kumar is told from a friend that if anyone asks, he works at the White House (which Penn did in between the second and third films of the series). Neil Patrick Harris's return to the series is something to be enjoyed with his real-life partner David Burtka as a married straight father who is paid to act as Harris's lover in order to widen Harris's appeal. Burtka's cameo, which is even shorter than Harris's, is one of the funniest parts. The 3D presentation of the film may be a more rewarding experience for viewers with the technology manipulated and played up for humorous effect. Also, several references to 3D technology play their part in execution, as well. If you enjoyed the first two "Harold & Kumar" films, y ou're sure to like this one. If zany, over-the-top, offensive comedies aren't your preference, you might want to pass. P hoto c ourtesy o f A llied M edia �Book Review: " Never Let M e G o " by Kazuo Ishiguro Alternate reality novel embraces readers Kyle M. Johnson Tales from the Nerd Sid Joining the cult: Former revisited in cult c lassic Chris Giancamilli Pride Staff Writer It is a shame when g ood movies don't find success with a wide audience. Though some films struggle in mainstream theaters, select few h ave the potential to become what are known as "cult classic" films. These cult classics are often successful in home media sales years after their initial release. It is difficult to narrow the field as there are so many forgotten classics, but here a re my top four cult classic films to b e enjoyed. Pride Staff Writer In Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "Never Let Me Go," readers are invited into the unfamiliar society at Hailsham boarding school. In three parts, the story chronicles the protagonist Kathy's experiences from the point of being a child at the mysterious Hailsham, until her young adult years in the life which she and her fellow students were born into and prepared for as part of their education. It is difficult to tell much of the plot without giving away any details that may spoil elements of the novel. However, Ishiguro's story is exceptionally well-crafted. Through Kathy's narration, Ishiguro speaks about this world he has created very casually and very matter-of-factly as if it is a society readers would already be familiar with. In its telling of an unknown society set in the 1990s, "Never Let Me Go" is a type of modern science-fiction novel. Kathy is accompanied through much of the novel by her friends Tommy and Ruth who all three develop into a love triangle as they grow up. Through their companionship, they set out to uncover the mysteries of the school in their education, lifestyle expectations and mysterious rumors of ways to avoid their predestined duties. However, their curiosity often leads to shocking findings. While elegantly written, the narration might discourage read- The B/g LebowsM ^ The Dude's best friends Walter a nd Donny. As he becomes further entangled in a w eb of deceit, The Dude encounters many absurd a nd strange characters who provide him conflicting sides of the same story. ••••••jl ers due to the readers' unfamiliarity with many of the references made to the world in which the characters inhabit. Be reassured, though, because all uncertainties belonging to the reader, as well as the characters, are answered. By the end of the novel, the world for the students of Hailsham, as well as other boarding schools founded with the same mission statement, will be made known to readers. "Never Let Me Go" is one of the most beautiful, rewarding novels in recent literary history. It offers all elements of a great novel as it touches on such themes as friendship, purpose, love and loyalty. This novel is very deserving—it deserves to be read and readers deserve to have read it. " Once U pon A Time" ABC d r a m a p rimed t o c h a r m a udiences Rebekah Green Pride Staff Writer ABC's new show "Once Upon A Time" premiered Sunday, Oct. 23 at 8 p.m. This new fantasy series takes the memorable fairy tales and fables of childhood, like Snow White, Pinocchio and more, and transports them to reality. The evil queen threatens Snow White and Prince Charming during their wedding. While visiting the imprisoned Rumplestiltskin, Snow White discovers that a horrible curse will be placed upon her family, and only her daughter Emma, upon her 28 birthday, will be able to stop the queen. On the very day of Emma's birth, the ^^^^^ curse takes hold of the kingdom, and although she is placed safely inside a magic wardrobe, she along with the other characters of the kingdom are inevitably transported to a place devoid of happiness - our world. 28-year-old Emma Swan works as a bail bondsman, and while her demeanor is tough, she carries loneliness within her. But all of that changes when a boy named Henry arrives claiming to be her son and seeks her assistance in taking him back home to Storybrooke, Maine. All the while, he asserts that the stories existing-in his fairy tale book are real and that the citizens of Storybrooke are these same f a i r y tale characters trapped in the-real world with no memory of their magical selves. While Emma remains logically skeptical of his words, Henry's claims prove to have truth. Fans of the film "Enchanted" and Hallmark's miniseries "The 10th Kingdom" are sure to find some aspects that border the familiar but still deliver an interesting take on the fairy tale world. The pilot contained a lot of information, yet it was nothing difficult to follow. Rather, it set up various situations that will keep viewers curious as to what will happen next. There is a reason fairy tales never grow old, and with "Once Upon A Time," the tradition of building upon classic stories is sure to continue thriving. "Once Upon A Time" airs Sunday nights at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Saturday, November 12th Dawn breaks with fourth film installment of "Twilight" saga Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer November marks the beginning of the end of the cultural phenomenon: "Twilight." "Breaking Dawn Part 1" will answer the question w e've all been dying to learn: does Edward turn Bella into a vampire? ' Twilight" has certainly made an impact on our generation, regardless of the f ans' genders, with the addictive story line of a human falling in love with a vampire. The first of the series introduced Bella, an average girl who moved to Forks, Washington to live with her father. She soon fell in love with the youngest member of the local vampire coven named Edward. This love immediately put her life in danger. The sequel, "New Moon," separated Bella and Edward, which put Bella into a deep depression. Upon realizing if she put her life in danger, she could feel Edward with her, she decided to be reckless. When Edward's sister, Alice, had a vision of Bella jumping off of a cliff—apparently committing suicide—Edward decided he could no longer exist without her. It was then h e decided to end his life by exposing himself as a vampire when the Volturi, the largest and most powerful coven of vampires, refused to grant his wish of being destroyed, leaving it up to Bella to prove that she was still alive. The third in the series, titled "Eclipse," brings Bella's number one enemy, Victoria, back to kill her in revenge f or Edward killing Victoria's partner. The last book in the series, "Breaking Dawn," puts Bella in the biggest predicament of her l ife. A fter her wedding, Edward impregnates Bella. Since the child i s half-human, half-vampire, the developmental process f or the baby is extremely fast and if Bella continues with the pregnancy, she will die. This November will bring answers to those who have yet to finish the saga. "Breaking Dawn Part 1" will be in theatres Nov. 18, 2011. .

CSUSM celebrated its 15-year anniversary at the library Plaza Wednesday afternoon, acknowledging long-term, veteran pioneers. The ceremony was held to recognize all the hard work BY SCOTT PHILIPS Pride Staff Writer Police conduct is a growing concern among those who feel they have been unfairly treated by campus police. N An open forum was held on November 4 following the recent arrest of student Jason Edwin Williams on campus by Cal State San Marcos University Police. The event was organized by Professor Sharon Elise from the sociology department. The Thursday forum had been rescheduled so President Karen Haynes could attend, but much to the dissatisfaction of the attendees, she never arrived. The forum started with Williams, telling his side of the events that transpired on the eve of October 20, including the rough treatment he alleges during the arrest. According to Williams, he was pulled over by campus police for failure to stop at a stop sign. Williams claims he was never asked for his car registration or insurance, but instead was asked to step out of his vehicle. He said that after being questioned about his ownership of the car, the police started to search the vehicle. "I asked them why they were searching my car, and could not get a clear response," Williams said. He said after finding an open bottle of alcohol—left over from a birthday party a few days earlier—the officers performed a sobriety test on Williams. Williams explained that he was going to study for his midterm. Williams went on to state that the officers continued with their search of the car, even after determining that he had not been drinking,. Williams said he was handcuffed when one of the officers found a kitchen knife during the second search of Williams' car. See FORUM, page 2 VOL.

Many students here aren't always fond about finding the perfect teacher who will impact and change the way we feel about school. But, believe it or not, some of the professors here on campus do just that. Have you ever walked out of class feeling like you came out a better, stronger, wiser person? That a professor impacted the way you believe and see things? Well if you have, here is your chance to show your appreciation. The CSU system awards the CSU Wang Family Award each year. This award is designed to recognize faculty who have distinguished themselves by making exemplary contributions in their academic disciplines, and by having a discernable impact on their students. Each year, four faculty members from the CSU system are honored for their dedication to serving students needs. Not only in the classroom but also for efforts above and beyond what is expected of them. The qualifications are based on teachers that have contributed to learning through activities such as publishing, includ- Tuesday; November 9 2004 CSUSM hasfinallynamed our mascot- "Crash the Cougar." "CSUSM has never officially purchased a real cougar mascot, ASI felt it was completely necessary," said ASI Vice President of Communications Roy Lee. As of October 21, the students at Cal State San Marcos voted on the name Crash to represent our cougar mascot. Before "Crash the Cougar," the CSUSM mascot was given a local Indian name. The CSUSM mascot was the "Tukwut," which is the local Indian language name for "cougar." Students were unfamiliar with the name and started calling the mascot a cougar instead of Tukwut. "Tukwut was our original mascot, not the cougar, but since it meant the same thing, students adopted the cougar instead," said Lee. Students had the option of Photo Illustration by Jason Encabo / The Pride ing students in their research, community service and recruiting students. These professors contribute and benefit not only students, but also contribute to the CSU's reputation for excellence in teaching, learning, research, scholarly pursuits, student support and community contributions. Faculty that are probationary and tenured within the last two years are eligible to be nominated for the Wang Award. One nominee from each of the following divisions may be nominated: Visual and Performing Arts and Letters, Natural Sci- ences, Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Engineering, Social and Behavioral Sciences and Public Services; and Education, Professional and Applied Sciences Fields. Faculty, academic administrators, alumni and students can nominate professors for the Wang Award. Nominations should be submitted in writing to the Senate Office here on campus, and should explain why the professor should receive the award, and the relationship the nominating individual has developed with the professor. BWANTÉD'^ voting for Crash, Rocky, Casey, Corey, and Jamie as possible names for the cougar mascot. But many students were not aware of the naming cougar voting, as well as knowing the real history of our mascot. "It has already been voted on. It was on the same ballot as the Childcare Services Referendum," said Lee. Students have already voted and Crash is the new name for our cougar mascot. "It is now in due time when we will make a better formal announcement regarding the name of our mascot so students are fully aware," said Lee. J . W .

Yeah, my mind is odd like that. Thefirstname that popped into my head was Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq is extremely charismatic and knows how to work the media. He has experience in battle as he has taken a lot of abuse under the basket. He can also battle mentally as he was in a war of words with Kobe for the past 8-years in La La Land. He would get a lot of support from the male voters 18-35 as that is the core sports viewership. He would win the urban vote as he is a hip hop artist (not a very good one, but he has released some albums). He grew up in a military family and he is getting his masters degree in criminal justice, which would help him with the military vote. Then as I thought a little harder, Shaq couldn't beat Kobe in the battle of Los Angeles so how could he beat anyone for M1MÍ the presidency. After I realized Shaq wouldn't hack it, Curt Schilling of the World Champion Boston Red Sox popped into my head. This guy has made an art of using the media to promote himself. He would easily get the Republican vote as he went on the campaign trail for President Bush. Schilling has always been a winner as he has been to the World Series three times with three different teams. However, he might piss off a lot of people because he does speak an awful lot about religion and hisbeliefs. Once I realized Schilling wasn't going to cut it, I thought of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt Jr. is an interesting pick here as he could give "Dubya" a run for his money because they are so similar. Earnhardt Jr. could steal a lot of the southern votes as NASCAR is huge in that area and the NASCAR vote was supposed to have an impact on this past election. Earnhardt Jr. is also the son of a legend just like Bush and just like the president he spends a lot of his time going in circles. Earnhardt Jr. also stumbles over his words in front of national media like he did several weeks ago when he dropped an F-bomb in a post-race interview. But honestly, who is going to vote for a race car driver? Then I realized I was forgetting about the most influential man in sports history, Michael Jordan. His Airness has been selling the American public more crap than most politicians. I mean this guy has been the spokesman for sports drinks, underwear, batteries, fast food, shoes, and pretty much anything else you can think of. He also has experience in being an actor as he did star in the movie "Space Jam." There is no doubt he is a winner as he won Six NBA titles with the Bulls. I don't believe a sports icon will ever become President but it is interesting to imagine what if, but then again if Arnold and Photo Illustration by JasonEncabo / The Pride Jesse Ventura can become governor who is to say we won't see President Michael Jordan or If you can think of a sports icon let me know by sending an EPresident Shaq. that would make a good president mail to Sando026@csusm.edu.

BY JAMARR PATRICK Pride Staff Writer First of all, please let me say that politics can kiss my ass. Secondly, I am so glad the political season is FINALLY over! Thefirstreason why I am glad that it is over is that I don't have to see these stupid celebrities hocking their newfound political values at me. Now that the season is over I canfinallywatch the same episode of "The Real World" thirteen times in a row without having it interrupted with an "important" message from Eminem telling me to vote. Why on Earth would I listen to a person who has never voted? He and all of his celebrity brethren all of sudden get a political wild hair up their asses and they want to go preach to the masses about voting? You know what all these celebrity endorsements did for me? Nada. Nothing. Zip. Zero. I have been registered to vote since I was 18 and P. Diddy giving me a free "Vote Or Die!" t-shirt had nothing to do with it. I, like a whole lot of others, know that you are supposed to vote if you want to make a change. Another reason why I'm glad the political season is over is that now I don't have to walk down the street and see my neighbors front yard decorated like a pack of skittles with those bright colored signs encouraging me to vote for whoever they think is the best candidate. Speaking of candidates, no longer will my Jerry Springer political season. I think you can commercials be filled with lame cut a year's worth of begging and candidates talking about how mudslinging down to about two they want to make a change and days. Run it all on public access blah, blah, blah. Now I can get for 48 hours—all the commercials, good old fashioned commercials all the celebrity endorsements, all for institute of higher learning the crappy party benefit concerts like U.E.I. with people that we thought were All the political season is good dead, all of it two days in a row for is people begging. Begging no breaks in-between—and call it you, urging yoji to vote for Prop- "Poli-palooza." osition "This" and don't vote for My final reason why I hate Prop. "That." I really do hate the the political season is because it just gives people that think their party or cause is right, over a year to be complete jerks about it. In non-election years people are pretty calm about their presidential affiliation. Once it's an election year you get these same people that are out for the opposition's blood. It's like they might as well have had t-shirts made that said "Bush Or DIE!" on them or "Kerry Or DIE!"(Take your pick). Hey if you want to E VERY W EDNESDAY f 80 s Mi#it w/ act crazy then don't wait for an election year, just be crazy from the start so that I know not to talk or get near you. Anyway, no more politics on every channel means now we can concern ourselves with more important information—like who Paris Hilton is dating this week.

Now I was going to be the laughing stock of the voter world. To my amazement, when I arrived all I saw were "W '04" shirts in line. I had always been under the impression that you weren't supposed to make your candidate choice known. In my childhood, I would always ask my mom who she was going to vote for and she would respond, "Ryan, its illegal to discuss this information." Now I know she just didn't want to talk to me. So even though all these people broke the voting etiquette, I wasn't about to break my voter poker face. After ten minutes of sitting in line listening to the elder voter with his dog behind me preach- ing religion (needless to say we all know who he voted for), he decided to throw a vocal blow my way. Someone asked him, "Hey is your dog voting Bush today, too?" and he responded with, "I wish. He'd probably make a more educated decision then some of the young voters we got here." I sat, quiet, contemplating a clever response that would display the knowledge I had on the candidates and the issues, but the best I could come up with was the sarcastic statement, "I highly doubt that, sir." I finally made it to the front of the line. By this time I was a mess, I could have signed my name with the sweat off my palms. I checked in, walked to the electronic voting contraption, and handled the ballot like a pro. I looked over at the elder voter who so rudely judged me, and was happy to see he needed to be aided with the electronic ballot. I softly muttered, "Get with the times," under my breath, finished, and walked away proud with my "I Voted" sticker. Another eighty miles later I found myself back in class, a new person; I was no longer a voting virgin. The next day when I woke up tofindBush the winner, I felt like most people do after theirfirsttime, completely disappointed.

On my misspelled name, I had no party affiliation and then on my correctly spelled name, I was registered as an absentee voter.

Maybe it should be palled the "Moshing Turtle." I was incredibly impressed with the atmosphere and scenery of the bar; it reminded me of being in some artsy San Francisco or Pacific Beach type of cafe, but it was a lot louder due to the live music. The Friday that I checked out the bar, four bands played. I liked the second band, called "Fith," because they sounded like a mix of Silverchair and Incubus. Other than music for entertainment, there are also two pool tables (equipped with two chalk squares), and a functioning dartboard (a rare and pleasurable find for me). The $2.50 long-island drink specials were definitely achieving their goal; they were cheap, strong, and there was a variety offlavorsto choose from. The MidoriLong-Island drink was the best. There was also pineapple or orange to choose from. Besides the specials, the beers are heavenly. There are 33 choices that are all draft; they range from Johnny Courage brewed back east, all the way to Arrogant Bastard from Stone Brewery right here in San Marcos. The only thing worse than the semifunctional bathroom (I want to stress the singularity/non-pluralness of bathROOM) was the cover charge at the door. I'm not a big fan of cover charges, but it was only five dollars and the drink specials were satisfying, so I got over it. The bathrooms weren't totally intolerable because there were only about 15-20 girls there, the rest of the 40 people were all guys; it was a sausage fest. This is my kind of bar : I'm a cute, single, and 21-yearold girl, by the way. 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ACD 101 11/11 PreLaw Society Meeting 8 a.rrt. to 9:30 p.m. LIB 3013 Veterans Association Barbeque 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Forum Plaza Priority Christian Challenge General Meeting 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. ARTS 240 Panhellenic 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ACD 301 11/12 Anime toroject.m.

If" BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer "'The Grudge' is less a film than a terror delivery system," wrote Keith Phipps for The Onion. I'm quoting Mr. Phipps here because he has defined "The Grudge" better in one sentence than I could do in one page. The Grudge is a remake of Ju-On; a Japanesefilmby Takashi Shimizu. The American version, "The Grudge," is set in Japan, but is cast with Hollywood faces: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Bill Pullman, and Jason Behr. The plot summary is simple: Study Abroad student Karen (Gellar) volunteers as a senior citizen aid. Her first assignment is at a ghost-filled house in Tokyo. The premise of the ghosts is that a woman was killed in a fit of rage by her husband who then killed himself and their son. Karen then takes on the task of discovering the history of the haunted house. Do not let the simplicity (or the former vampire slayer) deter you from seeing this film. The movie is scary as hell and I don't care how accustomed you think you are to horror movies; once you see the little Japanese boy (Yoko Maki) pop out of a closet, you will be looking over your shoulder for days after you leave the theatre. "The Grudge" is fused with suspense and technology. This is the first horror movie I've seen where ghosts are appearing on video cameras and cell phones, with the BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Columbia Pictures background of Toyko, which is futuristic in itself. Although the movie trailers assert that the stars of the movie are Sarah Michelle Geller and Bill Pullman, the character development is slim to none and you willfindthat no one character is more important than another. I Mghly recommend "The Grudge.'' I will conclude with this, as just thinking about this movie for my review is giving me chills and I amfindingmyself looking over my shoulder in panic. Tear off your own head The "Saw" doesn't cut it as a psychohorror flick BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer Maybe I set the bar too high before viewing the movie "Saw." The movie had extreme potential and could have shaped up to be a thriller that left a lasting emotional effect. "Saw" is about a killer who selects "worthy" victims and puts them into bizarre situations. The victim is left with little time to make life or death decisions. The movie starts with complete darkness, and then opens Photos courtesy of Lion Gate Films. to a rusty and abandoned industrial bathroom, where two men are chained on both sides of the room. In between the two men is a dead body with a gunshot wound ta the head, a .38 handgun, and an enormous pool of blood. This is one hell of an opening scene. Both Dr. Gordon Lawrence (Cary Elwes) and a young man named Adam (Leigh Whannell) must figure out how to escape, using the few clues that the killer has left them. This includes two saws, too weak for the chains, but just sharp enough for human flesh. The following scenes take you through the path that leads to the connection these two men have to each other and eventually, who is at hand for these hideous crimes. While disturbing, the scenes lack that "umph" that would classify this movie in the realms of "Se7en". The movie takes us through a series of gore, violence and selfinflicted pain, but we can only feel sympathy for our charac- ters because of the situation they are put in. There is no character development and the acting is unconvincing. There are many parts where the suspense is leading us to a very shocking moment, but far too often the surprise never comes. I was hoping for a strong performance from Cary Elwes after a long departure from the big screen, but was not impressed with his overacting in many scenes. I would only recommend seeing this movie if you are truly into psychopathic thrillers. Even then, you might be let down because of the unrealized potential of this movie. Take your chance and maybe you will get more out of "Saw" than me, but let's just say "I told you so " . , A Perfect Circle's much anticipated album "eMOTIVE" hit stores November 2. A collection of songs put together by the infamous quartet that is described by Maynard James Keenan (vocalist), as "a collection of songs about war, peace, love and greed." The band has diversified their music, and fan base with this new album. One of the tracks, "Imagine" is a John Lennon song that speaks of a fictitious world without greed, possessions, religion, and all things that create division between people. "eMOTIVE" also includes cover songs by classic groups such as; Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," Memphis Minnie's blues stomper, "When The Levee Breaks" (made famous by Led Zeppelin), Depeche Mode's "People Are People," Devo's "Freedom Of Choice," Black Flag's "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie," Fear's "Let's Have A War," Joni Mitchell's "Fiddle And The Drum," and the Nick Lowe (by way of Elvis Costello) anti-anthem, "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding," The album will definitely appeal to those who enjoy some of the tracks listed above. However I think most old school fans will feel slightly cheated. There is original material on this album. Is it what you are looking for similar to the Perfect Circle of old? Probably not! A Perfect Circle was able to create quality renditions of the tunes, retaining their own dark, rhythmic, and heavy sound. We are witnessing the progression of a truly great rock band attempting to branch out and reach a more diverse fan base with an abstract new album. Most of the reactions to "eMOTIVE" so far are in fact, negative, citing Eminem's appearance on the album to be, "embarrassing." A Perfect Circle fan may be a bit apprehensive to buy this album due to the large number of cover songs contained in the album. However the album's message is to be considered as it comes to our nation at afittingtime of war and uncertainty. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The most talked about issue since students returned to CSUSM, parking, is turning yet another page in its growing saga. One of the latest developments was that on Sept. 26 , curb parking was planned to be discontinued and would no longer be allowed. However, information recently released by Parking Services states that the allowance of curb parking would continue after Sept. 26 , th th Coordinator of Parking Services Patti Hale was not available for comment, but according to information obtained in the Parking Services office, "Due to the overwhelming amount of vehicles on campus, Emergency Curb Parking will continue until Parking Services explores other alternatives." However, no information was given on what or when these other alternatives will be explored. The only day curb parking will not be permitted is parking, and curb parking.

It seems that until Parking Services can develop a plan to accommodate all of the vehicles on campus, curb parking will remain an inevitable part of life at CSUSM. News Feature HME page 3-4 Arts.

CSUSM stopped highest continuation rate from its extended applications accep- the previous spring in our histance period for undergraduate tory. Last fall, for example, we th enrolled sixty-eight percent of the previous spring. I think the improved continuation rate could be seen as a positive reflection of the quality of education our students are receiving here." In addition to the large increase in the percentage of enrolled students last spring who continued in the fall, the reason for the increase in students is based on other factors as well. According to Riehl, "The additional construction of the campus and the growing public image are some of the main attractions to first time freshmen. The weakened job economy and tighter job market might be partially responsible for the improved continuation rate from last spring. All campuses in the CSU system are experiencing similar unexpected growth, so it is a statewide phenomenon." Compared to the Fall 2002, there were about 700 who applied, and now the school already has 1,200 prospective students who have applied for Spring 2003. CSUSM is currently budgeted for nearly 7,400 students on an annual average. The unofficial count on students for this semester is 7,600 and this will be either confirmed or changed with the census count that was held at the end of September and will be released in early October. Riehl did not say what they will do if the number of students admitted reaches school capacity. Although the requirements to get into CSUSM are the same, Riehl said that there is still a need to remind students interested in attending Cal State San Marcos to apply early and make sure that they have all the docu- TENURE from page 1 Brodowsky, Assistant Professor account of her many good o Marketing, and S Vourlitis and Thomas Wahlund Afssistant Professortephen Zera, qualities. of Finance, from the Biology Department; as new Associate Professors with Some awardees were not and Robert Yamashita from the tenure. able to attend due to health Liberal Studies Department. problems or because they Dean arion Reid from he From the College of Busi- Library Mnd Information Ster- were otfeaching classes at the a ness Administration, Dean vices recognized Jacqueline time the ceremony.

There are no plans for preferential enrollment at this time, and both transfer students as well as incoming freshmen will be viewed as equals in the admittance process, Riehl said. Applicants in all class levels, who meet the requirements, will be admitted as long as their application arrives before the deadline.

University officials hope this library will become the focal of the school. However, unless Proposition 47 passes this coming November, the library will have a problem with becoming fully laden with the equipment needed for this possible state-of-the-art facility. CSUSM's new Kellogg Library will be a 200,000-square-foot facility compared to the current library, which is 28,000 ft. This new library has the promise of being a focal point for the whole of the North County community. The new facility will have space for 78 computers in the Reference area and a 100-seat open computer lab, along with 1,500 reader stations wired for the Internet and broad wireless capability that will allow users to V\ route for contingency funding."

The Brown Bag World Music Concert Series is a part of the fall schedule for the Arts & Lectures events on campus. The week started fiercely with the audacious, and at times overwhelming, sound of the North Australian Didjeridu. The Aboriginal native instrument, created of a hollowed eucalyptus tree limb, was used to create sounds native to the animals of Australia. Randy Graves, master instrumentalist of the Didjeridu, used the primal instrument to tell adventurous stories from the animal point of view.

The Scream Zone is the largest haunted attraction in San Diego, featuring 12,000 square feet of 3-D thrills. Each year the event features a new theme, and this year it is "Gothic-Frankenstein." This year the Scream Zone was designed and hand painted by former Disney 3-D expert, R.J. Ogren. The new 3-D effects take the Scream Zone production to a whole new level. Not only do the 3-D effects seem real, but also there are ghosts and Goblins that may just reach out and grab you. The Scream Zone has hired 23 actors who have spent hours rehearsing and who often put on more than fifty pounds of makeup and costumes on order to portray zombies and ghosts. As a warning to those who are fearless enough to go to the event, the Scream Zone is not intended for children under the age of ten, and is really geared towards teenagers and adults. If the little ones are screaming for a ghoulish adventure, a special Kids' Day "Fun Zone" is planned for October 27 from 1 to 4 p.m. The Fun Zone will include pumpkin carving, costume contests, candy, prizes, and of course trick-or-treating. th such successful artists is a testimony to the support for talented Asian Americans within the industry.

Transitions between these scenes are preempted by sound from the other narrative before the scene shift takes place. The effect of these segues suggests a strong emotive connection between the two characters bordering on the telepathic. By DESOMND BARCA Design Editor Usually when one goes to the movies, one expects to observe a series of dramatized situations and hopefully be entertained by the story, character development, musical score and visual stimuli. Most of us like to go to the movies to laugh, or to lose ourselves in a larger than life adventure or romance, and sometimes we just want to kill a few hours in a dark air-conditioned space with comfy seats. Das Experiment is definitely not a film for someone looking for this sort of light entertainment. Das experiment is Germany's official entry for Best Foreign Language Film; it has been nominated for the European Film Awards Best European Film 2001.

The majority of the Rush: Vapor Trails Tour By KURT MAYER Pride Staff Writer The legendary Canadian musical trio Rush performed live at the Coors Amphitheater in Chula Vista on Wednesday, September 25. The show was nearly sold out, and the fans were ecstatic to see one of the greatest performing bands of the last three decades - alive, well, and rocking out on tour once again. Rush is such an esteemed force in the music industry that no opening band was required; truthfully, no band could hope to compare! Rush came on stage at 8:15 and played until 11:30. The music was synchronized with hundreds of lights and lasers. Video cameras broadcast closeups of the musicians on three enormous projection screens, layered with custom animations and ambience effects. On these screens, fans watched, awestruck, as bassisi Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson performed intricate acoustic and electric guitar work, as well as keyboard work. Drummer Neil Peart brought fans to a standing ovation with a fifteen-minute drum solo on his 360-degree rotating drum kit. Awesome! The Coors Amphitheater is acoustically designed and padded with sound-reflective walls to accommodate full symphony orchestras, so the sound quality was perfect. New songs like "Earthshine" and "Ghost Rider" rang out into the night with the utmost clarity, as did classics like "The Trees" and "Red Sector A" and even the famous 1970's hit "Working Man". A Cal State San Marcos student who lives in Chula Vista, but did not attend the show, said he could hear the bass clearly from his yard. Indeed, the canyons and desert winds of Chula Vista probably enabled sound waves to resonate as far as Impe- talent to rival that of Ludwig von rial County and Mexico!

No matter what conflict is at hand, two wrongs do not make a right. Therefore, the only result of the argument is the escalation of the conflict that often turns into street fights. Really! Is skateboarding harder than inline skating or vice versa? I believe they are two different sports, and anyone who tries to say which sport is better than the other is clearly an idiot who is overgeneralizing. Little do these people, who create conflict, know that they are wasting their time. Instead offighting,they could be practicing, having fun, and not worrying about which sport is better. They overlook the fact that when they are skateboarding or inline skating they are free, not bound to the inline skater or skateboarder role of hating each other because their equipment is different. Actu- ally, skateboarders and inline skaters are very similar to one another. They are both involved in a new revolution of sports, and like to roll around to have fun. So why is it necessary to repeat the cycle of argument and disgust for one another? I know the answer. Skateboarders and inline skaters conflict with one another because they do not take the time to acknowledge the person behind the equipment, Many lack the perspective to see other athletes on terms that are different than the ones prescribed to them by their peers, socialization, or industry, Open your eyes, inline skaters and skateboarders, to each other and you may see there is a whole new world where skateboarders and inline skaters get along because they choose to see each other as a person as opposed to a symbol of something they have been taught to dislike, Louie Zamora Airs from e ramp to another. Photo courtesy of Steven Zamora. By STEVEN ZAMORA Pride Staff Writer I am sick and tired of being told to buy a skateboard, being verbally attacked^ or often col-"lidtng with skateboarders who mean to harm me just because I am an inline skater. I am also sick and tired of inline skaters getting so upset at skateboarders as to sink to their level and be the ones to start conflict or even contribute to it. If there is an overt discrimination to be seen in society, it is between skateboarders and inline skaters. I hate the feeling that I get when I'm skating at a street spot or at a skate park, and I see a skateboarder, purposely^ try. to fnake fun of 6r*even crash*into me. No one person likes to be in fear, however inline skaters must put up with it all the time. Not to say that skateboarders don't have the same feeling I have, but they are less likely to experience fear, because there are more skateboarders than inline skaters, which is apparent in society - ask yourself how many more skateboarders, on average, do you see as opposed to inline skaters? Insults that begin with "Our sport is harder than yours, fruitbooter" only further demonstrate how skateboarders are acting in a discriminatory manner toward inline skaters. However, the responses made in retaliation to the skateboarders by the inline skaters are the worst. These insults begin with, "keep on pushin' your wood; and by the way save the Capitalism starts and begins with laborers. Laborers, sometimes called proletariats, are the majority.

I will refrain from lecturing on the environmental effects of this type of consumerism and stick to the politics. My concern lies most in the notion that we do not realize we are pawns in a system that mostly benefits the miniscule percentage at the top of big-business and media - in other words, that we do not realize what capitalism is.

I know many of you feel this way too, given the tasty choices the Dome has to offer. We need a little variety in our food court selection, to say the least. Let's break it down. We've got a soup/salad bar, Casa Del Sol (Mexican/Burger joint), Nana's pizza and subs (the only food remotely worthy of consumption), and last and certainly least, House of Tsang. We've all heard about the overthe-summer renovations (fresher foods, bigger selection) that were to make the Dome more palatable for the students this fall. Student Gail Tarantino shared with me a personal account of what these "improvements" exactly entailed. "I went to Casa Del Sol to try the new baked chicken plate that they serve. The server pulled a As an expression of our care and concern, I ask each of us to think of ways we can acknowledge Alex Zingaro's life and honor his memory For my part, I will show that I value my fellow students by taking the time to smile or say Hi! as we pass each other between classes, cold baked chicken plate from the refrigerator, and proceeded to throw it into the fryer. When I asked the server what they were doing throwing the baked chicken plate into the fryer, they told me it was to warm it up." with cafeterias containing Taco Bells, McDonalds, and other well-known food stands. Why are CSUSM students subjected to sub-par food when other college students are actually enjoying their meals? We are students driven by our appetites. And what do we get between classes? Overcooked, marginal at best, Mexican and Chinese foo3. I'll give Nana's a little credit since it's pretty fresh and relatively palatable pizza and sandwiches. But when you sum it all up, that's really all there is. A person can only eat so much pizza before they begin to desire something more. Yet we all stand in line, like a bunch of Russians in a communist bread line. What else can we do? Rick Moore, Director of Communications at CSUSM, had this to say about the subject: "I know nothing about it, except that I've heard the matter was investigated and the major companies that looked into it found that there are not enough students here yet to support their minimum sales requirement." After trying all ten items that are on the menu throughout the past two semesters, I feel compelled to ask, "Where is the nearest Taco Bell?" There are other colleges in the San Diego area It looks like new and improved food is a diminutive priority thus far. Enrolling new students necessitates more parking spaces. When this is running smoothly we may finally have enough students, which would then allow us the ability to get more familiar food stands. However, this probably won't happen for quite some time, so hey! Have some pizza! sit next to each other on benches, or stand next to each other in elevators. What will you do?

Catching the Wave of Success By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Last Saturday at 8:00 a.m. at North Ponto in the north end of Carlsbad campgrounds, CSUSM held its annual Surf Team tryouts. Recognized by the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA), the surf team at CSUSM placed fourth overall last season. Under the rules of the NSSA, six shortboard men and one shortboard woman constitute a team. Making the final cuts will be difficult, due to the select nature of the team and the large pool of talent available at CSUSM. add some depth.

To be a contender, they need to get more like four surfers into the quarterfinals.

She was a member of the NSSA National Team from 1985-1987. At USCD, where she majored in mathematics, she was part of their National Championship team and won an individual National Championship. In 1998, she graduated from UCLA with a PhD in mathematics, but before leaving she had accumulated two more NSSA individual national championships. Puha then came to CSUSM in the fall of 1999. Puha has stated, "I am thrilled to have been able to help in facilitating the development of a surf team here on campus." But she also gives credit to ASI and her team, "because without them this wouldn't be possible. With such an exemplary record, along with some very talented surfers, it's quite possible for the Cougars to rank even higher than last year." The surf team and other CSUSM teams like it are studentrun and managed by ASI ( Associated Students Inc.). Therefore, like any other ASI club sport, the team has three player representatives, which include Dave Kincannon, George Demarino, and Dustin Franks. The representatives have worked with ASI to officially register the team, organize the tryouts, and help raise funds. CSUSM is a part of the NSSA Southwest Conference and will begin competition on October 27th in Ventura, California. Lady Cougars Golf Begin an Impressive Fall Season By JESSICA A.

Students of the American-Indian Student Alliance (AISA) planned the event. According to AISA cochair and Navajo Indian, Karen Giron, this is the first year that students have had the opportunity to plan the Pow Wow. With the aid of a few advisors, Giron, co-chair Michelle Jacobs, and a student committee, were able to put together an event that met the standards of quality as past Pow Wows. "My main reason for doing this is to raise awareness on campus and to inspire NativeAmerican students to come, not just to this college but to any college," said Giron, "also, just so they know there are other NativeAmerican students on campus and that we can offer them a support system and guidance from people of their own culture." The Pow Wow included Native-American arts and crafts booths and live performances in the center arena. The artwork and crafts, which were on display, provided another view of Native American culture. Traditional silver and turquoise jewelry, musical instruments, elaborate paintings of nature and spirits, pottery, and many other items were on display and for sale. The using a shared language. "Though many, perhaps dozens, of tribes were represented, all are considered one", stated Randy Edmonds, Master of Ceremonies for the Pow Wow. According to Edmonds, a Kiowa Indian, the event is about "trying to tell society that we're still rich in our theology. Our intent is to perpetuate our culture. We still dance our dances, we still sing our songs, we still pray. We want to make people aware of these things and we do that by putting on a Pow Wow." He stated that, "unlike European religions that have changed greatly since the Western discovery of the Americas, Native-American theology has not changed." Despite this, he said, "European religions and NativeAmerican religions have many parallels. Native religions talk about their environment and they, like many Western religions, have many things that are considered sacred." In speaking of sacred things, the Luiseno Indians had presented the CSUSM students with a "gift word," the tukwut ("mountain lion" in the Luiseno language). In the early 1990s tukwut became the unofficially adopted mascot name for CSUSM. However controversy began to surround the tukwut name.

H opes to I mprove Students Donate Over Fifty Pints By: Steve Kerrin Pride Staff Writer "I would hope someone would do it for me," said Brandi Blue, a Liberal Arts Major, as she stood outside the American Red Cross van after donating blood. This seemed to be the general sentiment from those who choose to donate blood. Over fifty pints of blood were collected from CSUSM on Tuesday, September 26 and Wednesday, September 27, 2000. Each potential donor is provided with a screening questionnaire prior to donating. Those who pass the initial screening are then taken inside where further tests are performed. In order to pass the initial screening, a potential donor must not: be under 17 years old have an active viral infection have viral diseases such as viral hepatitis, HIV, etc. be taking antiviral medication be a drug user have injected any drugs not prescribed by a doctor have gotten any tattoos or body piercings within the last 12 months have spent six months or more in the UK from 1980-1996 (due to risk of infection of the mad-cow disease) be receiving chemotherapy (which destroys blood cells and will disqualify you permanently) be under 110 pounds (the totalpercentage ofblood loss will be too great) »Continues on pg. 2 Student I nvolvement By: Giovanni Ferrer Pride Staff Writer Friday, October 6, 2000, the Inter-Club Committee held its second meeting. This year's I.C.C. goals are to improve club organizational skills and to increase student participation in activities held on campus. The first half of the meeting consisted of leadership training for club presidents and treasurers. The training covered different topics and procedures, including rules and regulations, and insurance and liabilities. The second half of the meeting focused on the business aspect of managing a club. Only half of the total clubs on campus may send two representatives to the meetings. All of the clubs must agree on a collaborative agenda prior to the meeting, and the representatives who attend the meeting vote on behalf of the other remaining clubs that are not in attendance. There are currently thirtynine chartered clubs on campus. This number is estimated to climb to more than 60 by the Spring of 2001. In addition, new club regulations will include two collaborated club events held per semester, club banking through CSUSM's Accounting Services, and club management training. Formerly known as the InterClub Council, I.C.C. has restructured in an attempt to make campus club events run more efficiently. In the past, some club events weren't organized properly. This led to some events being over-funded with poor turnout ratios, while other club events were "undercut," left in need of additional funding. Associated Students staff member Brad Schmidt serves as the newly positioned Club Service Technician of I.C.C. In an interview prior to the I.C.C. meeting, Schmidt stated that the main focus of I.C.C. is to "broaden the appeal to student life on campus." I.C.C. was developed as a way to fund clubs. Schmidt says that in the past, it seemed as though some clubs were only interested in getting money. "We don't fund clubs," said Schmidt, "we fund student life and activities." Schmidt hopes to maximize the student experience here at CSU San Marcos. With the use of research models of club services from different CSU campuses, CSUSM students' suggestions, and other methods, the I.C.C. is hoping to offer more on-campus activities for all students, fraternities/sororities, and campus clubs. �2 Tuesday, October 10, 2000 Campus News The Pride Chancellor Reed Visits CSUSM Jayne Braman Pride Graduate Intern During his two-day visit to CSUSM, the head of the California State University system, Chancellor Charles Reed commented, "we got the very best budget that this system has ever received with $337 million in new money." He then added, "which means we can add more faculty members, more compensation, more technology, more library books, and focus some on work-force development." In an editorial meeting with The Pride, Chancellor Reed discussed what this budget increase means to the CSU system and to CSUSM. Topping his list of priorities is the issue of student access to higher education. The Chancellor commends legislators for approving funds for the Cal Grants program. "Every once in a while something really big and good happens in Sacramento and it did this year for students and that is the increase in the Cal Grants program. That is huge, it is going from about $500 million to $1.2 billion by the year 2005," states Reed. This program is aimed at helping high school graduates through merit and financial-based assistance. Since the Cal Grants program is aimed at recent high school graduates, when asked what financial-assistance plans are being made available to returning and transfer students, Chancellor Reed and CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez agreed, "that the eligibility criteria stills needs to be established through financial aid." Other areas that CSUSM will benefit from with the increasedbudgetinclude $9million already received this year for the Collaborative Academic Preparation Initiative (CAPI), of which San Marcos is a participating university, with another $9 million being requested for the next school year. The CAPI program helps to groom high school students in English and Math in order to have them better prepared when they enroll in the university. The Chancellor has an interest in a seamless system which will unify all CSU campuses under a common calendar. This does not mean that all universities will start and stop on the same day; what this means, according to Chancellor Reed, is that those schools on a quarter-based system will convert to a semester-based system for ease of transferring credits and for seamless operations as CSU campuses head into year-round operations. Regarding upcoming referen- dum for the proposed field house/ student union. Chancellor Reed said, "it has been my experience that students don't look at the long-term advantages of those kinds of things." He believes that CSU Chancellor Charles Reed Photo courtesy of the CSU Web Site students should consider whether the decision, made now, will be an investment in the thousands of students that will come to this campus after them, and whether they can return to the campus in ten years and be proud of something that they helped to build. "Every time I come to this campus I see new buildings and that's great," commented the Chancellor. With two academic buildings currently under con- struction, he then added, "we've federal, contracts and grants." He got to figure out how to equip the said that adjustments would be buildings " He did add, however, made at this campus when conthat CSUSM is partially advan- tracts and grants are received.

Eighth Annual Tukwut Pow Wow San Diego » Continuedfrom pg. 1 For example, in the July 15, 1998 issue of the Union-Tribune, reporter Logan Jenkins quoted, "[President] Gonzalez said the school nickname, the Tukwuts, may be dropped for something with more ring than the Luiseno word for mountain lion. 'I don't even know how to spell it,' Gonzalez confessed." More articles and editorials in San Diego newspapers questioned the adopted name and some made a play on words for the "gift word', upsetting many Luiseno Indians and the American-Indian community. CSUSM Public Services Coordinator, Bonnie Biggs, became concerned about the official adoption of the tukwut name for CSUSM mascot, and she encouraged students to be informed about the history of the name. Biggs had also mentioned to the CSUSM community the possibility that some members of the Indian community may become upset over the official gift. And nowhere is there a formal, written recognition of the gift, only the media dissolution of it and our unwillingness to speak out on its behalf," according to a statement from the Pow Wow program. The AISA Committee had also planned to bring in members of the Navajo Code Talkers. The Code Talkers, according to Sam Tsosie of the AISA Student Committee, served in World War II and used their native language to help the US defeat Japan in the Pacific. Unfortunately, due to a scheduling conflict within the Navajo nation, they were Arts and crafts at the Pow Wow. unable to attend. Photo by Cheryl Cline. adoption of the tukwut name. In April of 1999 students were able to choose an official mascot name, but according to the AISA Pow Wow program, "a staff person in the office of Public Affairs removed tukwut from the student ballot," upsetting many students and faculty. "Cougar" became the officially adopted mascot name. AISA's Pow Wow program also cites a recent Union-Tribune article referring to the tukwut/ cougar name, as "archaic 'tukwuts'" versus "prosaic 'cougars'."

Donors may be turned away if a blood test shows they are anemic. The collection usually takes between eight to ten minutes. Donors may feel fatigued for several days following their dona- tion. The body replaces the plasma lost within 24 hours but it may take several weeks to replace the red blood cells. According to the San Diego Blood Bank, San Diego's largest supplier of blood, approximately 400 pints of blood are needed daily to fulfill the need at area hospitals. Once collected, the blood is screened for Hepatitis B and C, HIV, HTLV, and syphilis. It is then separated into three components: red blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Recipients of each of these three products include accident victims, surgical patients, and people who are being treated with chemotherapy.

Apply Today! �October 10: The Last Day to Register to Vote By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer Tuesday, October 10, is the last day to register to vote. The registration form for the 2000 General Election on Tuesday, November 7, 2000, needs to be postmarked by midnight Tuesday, October 10. Registration usually closes 29 days before an election, but October 9, 2000 is a holiday so close of registration has been extended one day. You can register to vote if you are a United States citizen, a resident of California, at least 18 years of age (or will be by Nov. 7th), you are not in prison or on parole for conviction of a felony, and if you have not been judged by a court to be mentally incompetent to register and vote. If you have not yet registered, you can do so in any of the following ways: Register to vote by mail: Mail-in registration forms are widely available at most post offices, libraries, and the DMV. Register in person: at any local election office in any city or town in the state; at any registration event you encounter anywhere in California; or at the DMV. Register by using the Internet: complete an on-line California Voter Registration Form at http:/ / www, s s.ca.gov/elect i ons/ elections k.html. You may also download the Federal Voter Registration Form from this web site. If you have moved, you should register to vote as soon as you move into your new home, as your registration information should, reflect your present address. You will remain registered to vote as long as you remain at the same address, even if you did not vote in the last several elections Help others register. You do not have to be registered to do this. To inquire about your voter registration status, call your county clerk or registrar of voters. For 2000" would specifically call for voter approval for anything that increases the intensity or density of the General Plan. This voter approval would be gathered through either special or general elections, depending on the timeliness of the matter. "Growth is not inevitable," added Skovgard. "People didn't move here to become part of LA; they moved here to get away from it." The current General Plan, as approved by the City Council, already provides specific areas for agriculture, housing, soft retail and industrial sites, called zones. Furthermore, the plan calls for the city to essentially "build out" at the 100,000-population mark in twenty years. www.bushgore.com isn't really a web page, but after taking a look at www.georgewbush.com and algore2000.com. it looks to me like they could have saved a few bucks and combined their web sites. The Republican and Democratic parties are often criticized by voters for being very similar and not providing a real choice for voters. Interestingly enough, the web sites for the Republican and Democratic candidates are identical in appearance. Both sites have the same basic layout: news items down the center column, multimedia links on the right, and the left side has links to election information for specific states, voter outreach information, and the all important information on how to send money to your favorite candidate. The main article for each site reflects the media image of the respective candidate: the article on the Bush site talks about "Additional Tools For Parents'" in general terms, while the article on Gore's site contrasts his tax plan with Bush's in the "policy wonkish" detail that Gore is known for. Both sites contain a link for Spanish translation. Neither of the Spanish sites are full translations of the English version, however, the Gore site comes close while the Bush site has only a few highlights translated into Spanish. However, these two web sites break their matching look and feel with their color schemes. Bush and Gore looked identical in A Closer Look at San Marcos Elections By: Benjamin Wayne Pride Staff Writer From planned communities to pastures, the San Marcos Chamber of Citizens was formed less than two years ago in reaction to what chamber officials call unrestrained growth in the area. Its mission is simply to curtail the rapid loss of open spaces and natural resources that the community already experiences. At the forefront is Dr. Cynthia Skovgard, who serves as president of the Chamber of Citizens. Dr. Skovgard is running for City Council this November and, if she gets her way, San Marcos will make a turn, she says, in the right direction. voter information in San Diego County, contact: Mikel Haas, Registrar of Voters 5201 Ruffin Road, Suite I San Diego, CA 92123 P.O.

Al Gore photos by Nebuxi San Diego County Campaign Madness Part I The Bush Debate Party By: Victor Mireles Pride Staff Writer "I will work to change policies and political coalitions that are driving endless growth," stated Skovgard. "Status quo, mediocre elected representatives are duplicating the reckless mistakes of Orange and Los Angeles Counties. We need to protect our priceless rural community from such destruction. Growth is not inevitable; shortsighted leaders create it." Up her sleeve lies the proverbial "ace in the hole," an initiative currently referred to as "The San Marcos Growth Management and Neighborhood Protection Act." Authored by Skovgard and the San Marcos Chamber of Citizens, the ballot measure promises to curtail growth to "acceptable levels" by leaving the ultimate decision up to the people. The measure, which will be voted on in November, accomplishes this feat by requiring voter approval for any development project that alters the City of San Marcos' General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. "The San Marcos Growth Management and Neighborhood Protection Act of So why do we need another law to make the City Council abide by a plan that they initiated? As Dr. Skovgard puts it, they seem to have no interest in sticking to their original plan. The proposition Skovgard states was drafted in response to 68.3 percent of the community who stated in 1993 that they would like to see San Marcos stay about the same, population wise, as it was then. The figures come from a council-commissioned study called "Imagine! San Marcos." "They say they have this open door policy for information," added Skovgard, "they say they want the public's input but then they don't use it." That will all change, she says, if elected. But Skovgard and The San Marcos Chamber of Citizens have a long way to go if they are to change the direction of San Marcos. On the opposing end are the developers, the mortages brokers and the real estate agents as well as five other City Council candidates all vying to put their ideas and opinions on the books in San Marcos. The 2000 Presidential Campaign has hit full stride across the nation. In San Diego County, the two major political parties are holding events to get out the vote, to pass out literature, and to speak on behalf of their candidates. In order to find out how both sides view the race, this reporter attended a debate party on behalf of George W. Bush on Tuesday, October 3, at the Bahia Hotel in Mission Bay. Yard signs that read, "Bush/ Cheney 2000", marked the pathway. Kay Spafford, the San Diego County Chair for the George W. Bush campaign, walked the room and greeted various party loyalists in attendance. Most of the people wore campaign buttons while others went a step further and wore GOP ties, hats, and necklaces. The crowd was an eclectic mix of young and old. Many of the younger debate party attendees were college students from various universities around the county. When asked why he was at the debate party, USD student Chris Jordan replied, "Our party is the one that takes pride in being American." Another USD student, Lucas Simmons, was less enthusiastic and had ulterior motives for being at the debate party, "Well, I am still kind of exploring. I feel the Republicans are right for the country." Lucas then leaned in and, while looking at a young woman across the room, said, "In truth, I am also here to meet people." Alcoholic beverages were available, and the spirits of the George Bush photos by Nebuxi gathering crowd grew. When the debate finally aired, the crowded fell into silence, erupting in cheers when Gov. Bush's name was announced. As the debate started, the crowd cheered in a sports-like manner. The answer that Al Gore gave to the opening question was unsatisfactory to one man who yelled out, "Answer the question!" Soon after, num- bers of people repeated the response. As the room grew uncomfortably hot, many of the patrons wandered in and out. The group cheered when Bush seemed to score a debate point and sneered whenever Al Gore spoke. The bartender, who only wished to be identified as Jim, whispered, "This is why I am not a Republican." The once loud cheers and jeers subsided as the debate proceeded. Most people talked among themselves about the debate and which candidate they thought was winning or losing. As two men were walking out the door, they said, "Gore is winning," while another man yelled, "Bush is kicking his butt!" At the end of the debate, Kay Spafford thanked people for attending. Some people were in a festive mood, some people were busy dissecting each point of the debate, while most people just left. However, the person who was the happiest was Jim the bartender. When asked how he did in tips, Jim replied, "Great," with a big smile on his face.

The new film was released in San Diego on Friday, October 6. It is named in reference to its main character's fascination with dancing and the sound of music, while she trudges down a path of disease-driven blindness. Set in 1964 rural Washington State, Selma (Bjork) is a Czech immigrant and a single mother working relentlessly to afford an operation which will save her young son from the same disease stealing her own sight. While her fascination is captivated strongly by the all-singing, all-dancing Hollywood-produced musicals (which her failing eyesight eventually prevents her from viewing), she is receptive to the most minuscule and atomic buildingblocks of sound, rhythm, and body movement. Selma who is destitute, petite, blind, and foreign, is empowered by music, allowing her to burn radiant and warm in this mundane factory town. Indeed, whether riveted by the music of machinery or passing trains, sound, and the promise of her son's sight, is her only salvation. However silence, rather than steel bars or poverty, is her unbearable prison. The film manages to address a number of social issues, including the ills of consumerism, immigrant factory labor, the antiCommunist rhetoric of the time, and anti-death penalty advocacy while remaining focused on the emotional lives of the characters and the story. It is both the focus on Selma's inner life and the sheer innovative and artistic enormity of what von Trier accomplishes which allows one to easily maneuver around gaps in the screenplay. The film establishes a sense of hyper-realism through its almost entire use of the handheld camera. The camera almost never stops moving, and often the footage cuts in and out seemingly irrespective to dialogue or character beats, giving a sense that the film is created using a misunderstood home camcorder. The footage is hyper-realistic, and is reminiscent of something like The Blair Witch Project, which attempts to present itself as a documentary. Simultaneously, the film creates the day-dream-world of Selma, which expresses itself through original Stomp-esque musical numbers. Music is made visual, featuring incredible camera-movements which made this otherwise frugal film into the most expensive movie ever made in Sweden. The sincerity with which these musical numbers are presented manage to retain a genuine emotional accessibility and permeability. With such opposing techniques, von Trier simultaneously pushes and pulls his The Pride Bjork in Dancer In The Dark. Photo courtesy of www.imdb.com viewers out of centrist cookiecutter filmmaking. Many actors carry with them the intensely residual inter-cinematic weight of their previous roles. These residual influences, such as David Morse's recent role in The Green Mile, or Peter Stormare's role in Fargo, not to mention Bjork's musical persona, brilliantly augment and complicate the psychological impact of the film. This carefully chosen combination causes the viewer to feel that they already know something about these new characters. As Dancer in the Dark is not likely to move past Hillcrest Cinemas, I can, while strongly urging you to see it, and confidently assure you that you will not be disappointed. Von Trier's creation is assuredly cutting edge, and is recommended not only as a film, but as an artpiece open to interpretation. Surprisingly wellworth the price of a film, you may find yourself disappointed that it ends after only 2 hours and 20 minutes. Dancer in the Dark is the third in a new cycle of films von Trier promised he would begin which adhere to a completely different style, one that places the emphasis upon the actors and the stories. He stayed true to his word with his similarly styled and internationally acclaimed 1996 film Breaking the Waves, which won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, and is the first in his socalled "trilogy of goodness." Dimension is one of von Trier's ongoing current projects and is filmed at a rate of only three minutes per year. It will not be finished until the year 2024. Having already lost one actor and two production people, von Trier has made special arrangements for a successor to finish the film should he meet a premature death. All that is known about Dimension is that it is a crime story.

Photo courtesy of CSUSM Athletics 9 By: Steve Compian Pride Staff Writer Bad weather didn't stop CSUSM's golf teams from storming out of Texas with a new addition for the CSUSM trophy case. The men's golf team took top honors at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Invitational Tournament held in Belton, Texas on September 25 and 26. The Cougars ended with a two-day score of 592 as they outpaced the competition by 27 strokes to win the 36-hole tourney. Junior Tony Sellers led the team with a two-round score of 145 and finished in first place overall. Sellers was followed by Josh Spreng (2nd), Joe Rathburn (3rd), Brett Dolce (5th), and Cory Scoggin (9th). Spreng, who is a freshman, from Hagerstown, Maryland, shot 68, a tournament low on the final day, helping lead CSUSM to victory. CSUSM's women's golf team also performed well in the weather-shortened tournament. On the first day of tournament play, the Cougar women were tied with the defending NAIA champions, the University of Mary HardinBaylor. The Cougars ended the tournament tied for 3rd place out of thirteen teams. The women's team shot a 345 on the first day and a 351 in the final round of tournament play. Teresa Thomas led the women's squad by finishing in 10th place, followed by Esther Rengpian (14th), Stephanie Segura (16th), Effie Rengpian (18th), and Nicole Carnes (29th). The Cougar golf teams will be at separate tournaments October 15-17. The men will compete at CSU Bakersfield, and the women will compete at Boise State University in Idaho. Cross eam Country Tat Stanford Shines By: Steve Compian Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM Cross Country teams made a strong showing at the Stanford Invitational on Saturday, September 30. The men's team had its best performance of the season by finishing in sixth place out of twenty-four teams. When asked about the men's performance, head coach Steve Scott said, "I thought we made a breakthrough. We did well against teams that we'll run against in the NAIA." James Adams, who placed fourth out of 196 runners, led the Cougars. Adams ran the 8K race in a time of 25 minutes and 29 seconds and was followed by Marcus Chandler who came in 13th (26:06) while Brian Sullivan placed 24th (26:29), Mike Manzano placed 61st (27:31), and Mike Shannon placed 86th (27:57). Sullivan described his experience at the Stanford Invitational, "I wasn't at my best, but both teams did well overall." Coach Scott was more optimistic about the steady performer, "Brian is doing just fine. He's right where his training indicates he should be." The Cougar women's team placed 11th out of the 30 teams entered in the college division, despite being with- out one of their best athletes, Heather Garritson, who was injured and unable to compete at the Invitational. Cara Rumble topped the women runners with a time of 19 minutes and 27 seconds for 20th place out of244 runners. Renee MacDonald came in 34th place (19:55), followed by Lorena Reyes j gyfj 84th place (20:55), Felisha Mariscal 94th place (21:03), and Katherine Niblett 107th place (21:19). Evaluating the women's performance was hard for Coach Scott, "The California region is very difficult to rank on the women's side. With Heather, we would have finished higher [at the Stanford Invitational]." Coach Scott said that the women would have finished as high as fifth place if Garritson had been healthy . Scott has also been encouraged by the development of his freshman runners. "I've been very surprised with the performance of Mike Manzano and Mike Shannon. On the women's side, I was pleased with Felicia Mariscal's performance. She was our number four runner at Stanford," said Coach Scott. The cross country teams will return to action on Saturday, October 14 when they compete in the Fresno Invitational. , a vertically integrated direct marketing agency, is s eeking a f ull-time, inhouse p roofreader for its corporate headquarters in Poway.

Hash, I also had the opportunity to hear Ralph Nader speak this summer in Washington DC. I don't think anyone would disagree with you in saying that Mr. Nader has been a driving force behind the consumer rights movement. Ralph Nader's accomplishments as a consumer advocate are very respectable. In your article you mention how Washington DC and politicians have let you down. You even go as far to say that the "growing bureaucracy is the only think trickled down since the sixties. I don't know if you have any political experience but this simply make you sound ignorant. I guess the accomplishment of our Republican Congress balancing the budget has slipped your mind. In my short time in Washington DC I also had the opportunity to hear some prominent Democrats and Republicans speak. I came to realize that these politicians, that according to you only care about how popular they're going to be, have a love for this nation that most can only fathom. I'm not saying I agree with all of their Ideals, but these men are doing what they honestly think is best for this nation. We have great men in our Government putting themselves on the line for this country everyday. To label that all politicians are dirty, once again demonstrates your limited knowledge on politics. In the article you also discuss" Universal Health Care", Letters to the Editors which is socialized medicine. Ask anybody from Europe about socialized medicine and you'll hear stories of 5 hour waits to see a doctor and poor service. It not that it's too complicated or costly it just doesn't work. I think you'd even agree that when the Government runs programs they don't work. Mr. Nader wants more Government regulation and regulatory agencies, to me that me that sounds like a growing bureacracy. Ralph Nader should be included in the Presidential debates. It will prove that he is a one-issue candidate and that he confused on a majority of the issues. For example he wants to down size the military. The United States is the most power n nation in the World because of its military. In addition the U.S. currently classifies 16 nations as hostile nations to the U.S. but Mr. Nader thinks we need to demobilize and often mentions "nonexistent enemies". Ask an expert about China or North Korea and see if they agree with "non-existent enemies." I agree that students hold the key to change and we have to be active in Government. We as students' need we keep are freedoms intact and we do this by not letting Government control and regulate our lives. Ralph Nader has a few good points on a few issues. He should continue his career as a "Consumer Advocate" but as President of this Country I don't think so. Steve Cima D e a r Editors > Call me a hopeless romantic, but when I think of Universities, I envision big, ivy covered buildings set amongst a forest of giant oaks and Moreton Bay figs, the space between carpeted in a verdant sward of soft grass, with students all around, some walking between classes, some lounging on the lawn in groups discussing the day's topics, and some sitting alone, reading or contemplating the sky that peeks through the green canopy overhead. I know that the oak/fig thing will take quite a few years to come to pass, but we do have the grass, right? Wrong! I don't know how many of us have ventured out onto the campus lawns to find a soft spot to sit or lie on, but I know that those who have soon realized that the areas require rubber boots to traverse safely. "Why is this so?" we ask, "Is there no way to water less, especially considering the fact that southern California is actually a desert?" Can't we save a lot of money on irrigation? Well, it all comes down to the grass itself. The turf that the school has installed is a tall fescue that has been supposedly engineered to withstand drought, commonly referred to by the trade name Marathon. I happen to have this same grass in my front yard, where if I do not want dead spots, I have to over water mine as well. The sad fact is, pretty much the only thing that the tall fescue is tolerant to, is a lot of water. You can see evidence of this if you look out from the upper floors of Craven Hall at the lawn that stretches from in front of University Hall out to the Caesar Chavez steps; it is a muddy quagmire....with dead spots! About the only thing this The Pride water-loving, coarse-bladed, fungus-susceptible, drought-intolerant turf has going for it is that it stays green all year long. Ooooooo. I propose that the school kill the fescue, (spray it all with Round-Up or equivalent) and replace it with Bermuda grass, trade name Tiffgreen or something similar. I know that Bermuda will go dormant in winter, but it's only a couple of months. Since I have Bermuda in my backyard, I can say that it outperforms the fescue on all other counts. It does very well on 1/3 the water that the fescue needs, it loves the heat, it is self healing, is fine bladed and soft and looks like a green Persian rug when it is well fed. In fact, the new elementary schools in Temecula all get Bermuda grass playing fields, and if the grass can stand up to hundreds of running, jumping, screaming banshees, surely it can stand up to the few intellectual discussions we would throw at it. At what point would this grass pay for itself in water savings alone? What about the fact that the lawn areas would be converted, from completely cosmetic to areas useable by the students, simply by changing the grass? The rest of the landscape is of the sustainable, low water use type, why not the lawns? The answer is pretty simple. Please join me in urging the University to convert the lawns, both so that the students can use these areas and for the savings in water. Send your support by email to the Pride, as well as to any faculty that you feel should get the word. Thanks, Mark S. Roberts Dear Editors, Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. As a parent/ student at CSUSM I just wanted to share the news in an effort to help any other parent/students. The A.S.I. Early Learning Center has been a real lifesaver for me, the last year and a half. It must be the best-kept secret at CSUSM! For the last 3 semesters, I have had the joy of dropping my children off there and knowing that they are being genuinely cared for by loving teachers. My son, Austin graduated from their Pre-K class last spring and is now doing quite well in kindergarten. My three year old is currently enrolled there and loves going there three days a week. The staff is friendly and professional. They are understanding of student's needs to have to study and prepare for classes. The prices and the hours work nicely with a student schedule and budget. So many other places I checked into required that you pay for the entire week, even if you only utilize 2-3 days of services per week. At the Early Learning Center, I only pay for what I need. I don't know that I would have finished each semester as successfully as I did without their support. They even made sure I knew about the childcare scholarship available each semester. I am so thankful for this center and hope to help some other parent students by letting them know about this place! There are currently openings Contact Joyce Williams, ELC Director, by phone at (760) 750-4999 or e-mail: jjwillia@csusm.edu. Sincerely, Tammy Gallegos Is Dr. T Diet Pride: Now 100% Content Free Normal? I'd like to comment on the Arts & Entertainment movie review on "Dr. T and the Women" done by J. Ryan Sandahl in the 10/3/2000 Pride. In his review, Mr. Sandahl makes a statement that "...Dr. T and the Women explores a normal father whose life is far too complex". Only two paragraphs earlier we find that Dr. T has a mistress who's been unfaithful to him (imagine that) with his hunting buddy. Frankly, I don't appreciate the characterization that to be a "normal" father (of two beautiful children) I need to have a mistress or be unfaithful to my wife. That may be normal in Mr. Sandahl's world, but I hope we all aspire to something a little higher. Roger Herzler Last semester it came to my attention that The Pride was "moving towards a policy of having everyone sign their letters." This semester The Pride adopted the policy and stated in an editorial reply on 9/26/00, "The Pride does not print anonymous letters." Admittedly, letters to the editor that have been signed with the full name of their author may potentially be seen as having greater credibility and as showing a willingness of the author to take responsibility and credit for that what was said. I believe, however, that it is inappropriate and unwise for The Pride to adopt a policy of rejecting letters simply based on the author's willingness to sign their name. There are extenuating circumstances that warrant the publication of unsigned letters to the editor. There are groups of people at CSUSM for which it may be inappropriate or unwise for them to express their opinions publicly, as in a letter to the editor; that fact does not, however, invalidate their opinion or their right to speech. For example, student employees are entitled to express their opinions, including their opinions, about the departments for which they work. However for student employees to write about their job or department, with their name signed, could negatively impact their employment status or ability to receive future raises. Staff and faculty also are entitled to their opinions and may have similar concerns regarding what they are able to say with their name signed to a published document. Furthermore CSUSM is still a small campus with many classes that are always offered with the same instructor, and there may be a time when students feel it is appropriate to write to The Pride regarding such a teacher, yet knows they will have a class with that teacher in the future. It is wrong for The Pride to restrict the freedom of speech in these cases and others due to authors' legitimate desires to remain anonymous. Samantha Beltram noted in the 9/26/00 issue of The Pride that in the last five issues of The Pride, there had not been a single opinion article or letter to the editor that was not from a staff writer. The inability to write The Pride and be even considered for publication anonymously clearly would prevent the people in situ- HAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS ations, such as the above, from writing The Pride at all. This may be a contributing factor to the lack of student opinion in The Pride. Last semester I remember several anonymous letters were published. The Pride's current policy prevents such authors from contributing to The Pride, thus limiting their speech. In the interest of freedom of speech at CSUSM, I strongly urge The Pride to change this policy. If people should be judged on the content of their character, and not the color of their skin, why should writing be judged on the signature line and not content? —Anonymous, of course.

Three problems that were standing in the middle of the stairway, oblivious to the fact that several people were trying to get by. They were busily yapping away as if they couldn't wait the ten seconds that it would have taken them to get to the landing to discuss whatever was on their minds. Of the people being held up by these inconsiderate shrews, I was apparently the only one with the audacity to request that the obstructers remove a certain portion of their anatomy from my intended course and continue their discussion in a place with more room to walk around them. Though less than thrilled with the tone and verbiage of my request, slightly different from this printed version, they complied. I had always thought that how to act while walking up stairs in the first place. Wait until was a matter of common sense you get to the top or bottom and common courtesy, which we where there's room to get didn't need a set of rules for.

So I feel it's time to back it up with pictures. Some will be flattering, others may condemn. But in the end I feel that the views expressed, along with the pictures, will give our campus a better self-image that will help us, Rules for Stairway Etiquette A Campus View In working with The Pride, I have read a large number of opinions about Cal State San Marcos. Some are glowing reflections of perfection. Others are dismal as a campus community, judge our progress or failure to individual satisfaction. If we can each realize and critique our own sense of community, then maybe we can create a better community. I submit the following view. A modern sculpture collage, or a secret nuclear missile silo? It is neither of these things. It is a lamppost that is missing or out for repair - right smack dab in the middle of The Quad. It really adds to the "under construction" theme that we have going around the campus. I like how the hazard cone has "CSUSM" printed on the side, as if to say, "Hey, this is a Cal State University of San Marcos eyesore - Don't even try to steal it!" i _ This is taken from the pebbly sidewalk of the intersection of Twin Oaks Valley Road and Craven Drive. If anyone has parked across the street at the SMAC Center, you've had the pleasure of this wonderful view. The only down part - it is all uphill.

Letters Build it, and they shall shun... The people and Tony Gwynn By: Giovanni Ferrer Pride Staff Writer I love baseball. I know that the wealthiest franchises are usually the teams on top. The power of the dollar makes its way through many big cities in every state across the country, and San Diego has become the same. I am not a Padres fan, but I keep up with MLB (Major League Baseball). I can tell when someone is trying to give me the run about nowhere. Where has the new ballpark development gone? And what's up with the situation between the Padres organization and the team's heart and soul, Tony Gwynn? You don't need to be a Steinbrenner tofigureout that it's all about the O' heavenly dollar. For the past few years, the theme has been: don't shell out the cash for good ballplayers, get rid of all your all-stars, and let us build a ballpark without a solid team as the foundation. Now they're not willing to accommodate for a player, Tony Gwynn, who over the years has taken less money to play for a city and community who adores him. A player who could have left many years ago to play for more money and a championship contention, but stuck it out through many disappointing team seasons. The sad part is that these people do not see the value of such players as Tony Gwynn the same way a true San Diego Padres fan does. People can become very unappreciative in this world. That's a fact of life. But it's seriously disheartening to see the way afirstballot baseball hall of fame athlete can be treated these days. Tony Gwynn can run for mayor of the city if he wanted to. The San Diego community, Padres fans, and baseball fans around the world in general, have grown to appreciate every effort and contribution he's made for the love of the people and the game. It is a downright shame to see one of baseball's best ever get treated that way over saving a few million dollars in the short run. They want Padres fans to flip the bill two ways; one way is by funding the new ballpark, the other is a probable and most likely price increase for tickets, merchandise, and food and beverage concessions. Oh look! A pile of various warning signs in the corner of University Hall. That corner must be incredibly dangerous! I guess I am pretty lucky to have made it out of there alive! Who knows how many accidents could have happened in that corner if all 3 to 4 signs weren't warning people of the risk of the University Hall "Danger Corner". Stay on your toes, everyone, danger could be around every corner. T The courtyard between Academic Hall and University Hall is a pretty amazing sight. It has plenty of benches, lots of greenery, and a good deal of shade in the mornings and afternoons.

Each student listened to the stories of one of three, people. At the beginning of each recording, as the student pressed play, the constant thump of a heartbeat immediately dropped the student into the mindset of Olivia, Steven, or Beatrice. As students walked through a certain path in the tent, a specific map of where they had been placed in Africa would allow them to further develop the mentality of the person's life they were going to experience. Following the voice on the recorder, students listened to the life of the person they had become, and eventually had to enter a health clinic where students were given a red stamp on their hand proclaiming them to be HIV positive or negative. If a student was declared positive, they had to wait for a student pronounced HIV negative to take them by the hand and lead them Photo By Amanda Andreen / The Pride out of the tent.

As some students walked out of the tent with tears in their eyes, others could hardly put into words what they experienced. Freshman John Loeh was placed into the life of Beatrice. Loeh said, "It was pretty sad, especially the part where she was diagnosed and had the option to choose to save somebody or not." After she heard the life of Olivia, freshman Shelley Lawrence walked out of the tent with a large red positive stamp on her hand. Lawrence said, "I feel that education is the best way to prevent this. People shun each other because they don't know enough, if people learn about HIV, then it would help." As students walked out, ICF took donations and gave students flyers informing them of letters they could write to local congressmen. ICF also directed students to their website, ivsanmarcos.org, where students can learn more about how to make an impact themselves. Originally, ICF had only planned to display the tent for one week; , but campus involvement with the tent went far beyond what ICF had ever envisioned. Therefore, The Africa Tent will remain on campus until Thursday, October 12. ICF member Jaci Spencer said, "The biggest thing I hope people could take away is this: yes there's AIDS, yes there's rape, yes there's poverty. These are all the issues we've heard about but it doesn't hit home imtil we see it as it is. I want people to know that we can do something about this and that God does care."

Westergreen states on the website: "On January 6, 2000 a group of musicians and music-loving technologists came together with the idea of creating the most comprehensive analysis of music ever. It's not about what a band looks like, or what genre they supposedly belong to, it's Pandora.com is a free, musicbased website that allows visitors to explore an endless world of music, discover new artists, and try different genres on for size. Pandora.com evolved from The Music Genome Project that about what each individual song sounds like. Over the past six years, we've carefully listened to the songs of over 10,000 different artists - ranging from popular to obscure - and analyzed the musical qualities of each song one attribute at a time. This work continues each and every day as we endeavor to include all the great new stuff coming out of studios, clubs and garages around the world," To get started, simply gp to www.pandora.com, and type in the name of an artist or song of interest, then sit back and let Pandora work its magic, Pandora first offers a song from the artist or the song typed in.

"About 10 students participated in helping the kids make masks," said Bigonger. "Maskmaking at CSUSM has happened before. This is thefirsttime that ELC has participated. I hope that it is a recurring event because the kids really enjoyed it," said Bigonger. Broomball is played in a similar fashion to hockey, except that players do not wear skates, a ball is used in place of a puck, and players use a rubber-tipped broom shaped stick. The Sixth Annual Masquerade Ball finished off Fever Week on Saturday. "The Masquerade Ball is a huge tradition that most of t CSUSM students look forward to every year," says Mathews. "The [Masquerade] Ball took place at the House of Blues in downtown San Diego. The venue was huge and very appealing for our students.

Much to their surprise, the tryouts reached an all time record as 31 students gathered to compete at Crosswaithe Street in Oceanside. Taking on unpredictable two to three foot peaks, with short windows of clean conditions, student surfers gave it their all, parading their skills to the nearby onlookers and panel ofjudges.

Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock III: the final chapter BY FRANCISCO MACIAS Pride Staff Writer All of those who feel the feud in the Ultimate Fighting Championship between Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock should finally tap out, raise your hand. One fighter is already in the UFC Hall of Fame and the other will soon be there—once he decides he is done punishing his opponents. Shamrock left the sport years ago and should have stayed gone. But due to his first embarrassing loss to the younger, well rounded fighter at UFC 40 Vendetta, he came back for another embarrassing loss. At UFC 61: Bitter Rivals, Ken Shamrock thought he was ready to win. There was also huge hype surrounding the fight. As part of the marketing for the fight, the reality television show "The Ultimate Fighter" had two teams competing under the instruction of Ken Shamrock arid Tito Ortiz respectively. At UFC 61 Ortiz rained vicious elbows over the aging Shamrock and the referee Herb Dean stopped the fight at 1:18 in the first round. The fight was deemed controversial because Shamrock claimed that he was okay to continue fighting. It looked like a young punk mugging an old man in the alley. It was sad. That entire fight card was a waste of time and money. It gets better folks; we now have Ortiz/ Shamrock III: the Final Chapter. The only thing exciting this time around is that the fight will be free on Spike TV. UFC President Dana White does not feel that fans should have to pay to see this ridiculous feud once again. I have to admit, I'm a bit curious to see what Ortiz will do this time. Will the Huntington Beach bad boy do his typical ground and pound? For those of you who don't know what ground and pound is, it's when you take your opponent down and begin to unload punches and elbows to their face. It's not pretty, and Tito Ortiz has mastered it. On the other hand, Shamrock is not a chump; he was the man back when the UFC first started. Shamrock used to roll over anyone who stepped into the octagon. However, this is 2006, and Tito Ortiz is no taxi driver walking into the octagon. For those of you who aren't busy on Tuesday, October 10, tune into Spike TV for this "epic" battle. I predict Ortiz will circle Shamrock, tire the old man out and give him the oF ground and pound.

It was only a matter of time before the men won an event, given the team's sparkling performances thus far. That win came on Saturday, in a field that consisted of six teams and 62 runners total. At the very top of those runners was Cougar Juan Mejia, who has been nothing short of amazing this season. Before Sunday, Mejia had already finished second at two events on the season. At this event, Mejia blew away the field, beating the second-place runner by a staggering 4S seconds. His potential at Nationals is definitely something Cougar fans can start getting excited about. Not to be outdone, the Cougar women nearly made it a clean sweep for the teams, finishing just two points behind Point Loma Nazarene. The squad's leaders, Whitney Patton and Bonghabih Shey, came through as usual, finishing sixth and eighth, respectively. Shey, already a star on the track tearn, has really stepped up her cross-country performance this year, and helped the team reach the next level. While the very top runners gave great performances for Coach Steve Scott, just about everyone in Cougar blue ran very well. On the men's side, Mejia crossed the finish line first, but Phil Hoffman was not far behind, finishing third. Ozwaldo Alvarez stepped up his game, taking seventh overall. Leo Elorza, Thomas Thys, and Mike Crouch all finished in the top 20 as well. On the women's side, nine Cougars finished in the top 30 runners, though only the team's top five runners counted for team-scoring purposes. Aside from Patton and Shey, Aimee Bradley had a strong meet, finishing fifteenth. Erin Hearn, Olympia Olguin, and Jackie Maciel were not far behind, taking seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first, respectively. Overall, it was an excellent outing for both teams, and their chances to finish strong at Nationals are looking very good. Coach Steve Scott will take his crew to the Fullerton Invite on October 20 for its final regular-season meet, and then it's off to Regionals on November 4. Below are the full CSUSM results. Individual places are adjusted for team-scoring purposes, which doesn't factor in those runners who weren't attached to colleges.

It found Drummond's foot, and she volleyed the shot into the net to give the Cougars the 3-2 win. Though Drummond accounted for all the scoring, the entire team played a very good game on Sunday. Midfielder Tessa Smith controlled the ball and was able to set up opportunities for teammates, and Randi Leyva created scoring chances throughout the day. On the back line, Alex Quindt played arguably her best game of the season, and Lucia Asbury continued to be very impressive after making the transition from forward to defense. Defender Lica Martinez also played a very strong game. Overall it was a great effort for the Cougars in front of fee home crowd at Mangrum Field. The women will try to keep the momentum rolling on Tuesday, when they travel to take on Claremont-McKenna College to kick off a stretch of five consecutive road games. Defeating ClaremontMcKenna on Road\ 5-2 Women's Soccer Wins Second Straight; Defeats Claremont-McKenna on Road, 5-2 October 3,2006 Though their season got off to .a tough start, the Cal State San Marcos women's soccer team (3-6) appears to be turning the corner. On Tuesday, the squad tallied a 5-2 victory over Claremont-McKenna, its second-straight win. Tuesday's win marks the first ever road victory for the program, and it comes against a Claremont-McKenna squad that entered the game .with a solid 5-3-1 record for ihe season. Thus, the match also marks the team's first victory over a team with a winning record. CSUSM controlled the action for most of the game. At halftime, the Cougars led 10, courtesy of a Lucia Asbury goal. Courtney Drummond, who posted a hat trick in Sunday's game, drew a foul deep in the opponent's territory, and Kelly Wherry took the free kick. She made the most of it, hitting a perfect cross to the other side of the box. The ball found Asbury, and she volleyed it into the top of the net past the helpless keeper. Early in the second half, the Cougars built their lead to 20, with Kelly Wherry involved again - but this time as the goal scorer. The Cougars earned a free kick 25 yards out, and Wherry was chosen again to take it. Instead of hitting a cross, Wherry struck a beautiful shot, curling the ball into the corner of the net past the outstretched arms of the keeper. Claremont-McKenna fought back to make the score 2-1, but CSUSM refused to allow them to equalize, half-way through the second half, the Cougars once again earned a free kick in the offensive zone. Lucia Asbury took it this time, but found Kelly Wherry in the box. Though she didn't hit the header she intended, Wherry managed to deflect the ball into the net for her second goal of the game. Not long after, the Cougars pushed the score to 4-1. Defender Alex Quindt hit a ball over the top of the defense, connecting with forward Clarissa Hidalgo. Hidalgo struck a nice right-footed shot into the low corner of the net to give the Cougars a three-goal lead. After Claremont-McKenna scored on a free kick of their own, the Cougars once again answered, removing any doubt about what the outcome of the game would be. Clarissa Hidalgo was responsible again, joining Kelly Wherry as two-goal scorers for the game. After receiving a routine pass from Tessa Smith, Hidalgo stood a-full 35 yards awayfromthe goal, where she launched a rainbow shot towards the net. The shot caught everyone off-guard, including the opposing keeper, who couldn't prevent it from sailing over her head and into the net. The 5-2 score would hold up, giving the Cougars another muchneeded victory. In what was by far their most impressive showing on offense all year, the Cougars nearly matched their cumulative season total for goals scored, which stood at six before Tuesday's game. Still, Assistant Coach Bobby Renneisen was quick to praise the team's back line. Fullbacks Lucia Asbury, Annica Perez, Alex Quindt, and Lica Martinez played a terrific game, limiting Claremont-McKenna's opportunities and never allowing them to cut deeply into the Cougars' lead. With the squad playing its best soccer yet, they hope to keep the momentum rolling through four more consecutive road games. Next, the squad will head up to Santa Cruz to take on U.C. Santa Cruz on October 7, then Menlo College the following day. p �BY DAVID GATLEY Pride Staff Writer Last weekend, following the brilliant advice from my girlfriend, we ditched all responsibility, packed our bags and departed north at 4:00 a.m. to spend what would turn out to be one of the most unforgettable weekends of our lives surrounded by one of Nature's most incredible landscapes. Yosemite: one of the few places on Earth that defies explanation. To describe it in words is to insult it. Even with the accompanying photos, the sheer magnitude and splendor of the place is lost. If you haven't been, go. If you have only been once, go again. If you are one of the lucky few to have visited multiple times, let this story encourage you to go again. To some, an eight hour drive (one way), 150 dollars in gas (less than three dollars a gallon!!), and 20 to 400 dol- lars a night for lodging, all for 36 hours of distraction may sound ludicrous. To others, it is just the cure for a life filled with monotony. Whether you're smitten and in love or single and unattached, a trip to Yosemite—even for as little as two days—can be one of the most memorable journeys of your life. So, if it's renting a beach cruiser and gliding along the valley floor surrounded by towering granite mountains, hiking up the back of Half Dome to see one of the world's most breathtaking views, or getting attacked by fearless raccoons as you eat your overpriced pizza and indulge in a well-deserved drink after a long day in paradise—your tinje spent in Yosemite will be short lived and long remembered. To all you fellow Cougars: take this writer's advice and spend at least a weekend escaping in Yosemite, you won't regret it. �fidfe B tfeteff B ohemians ( 8 ^MBMMHI _ >-;• r i u f t i e $10; ; i . » • . v.. l o s Tycaoes •••••I Shankar (8pm llCSb $34-36) { Spro C e n t e r for t h e A rts,.Esoondido $24-57} •iSm FieWHoii^l' •pi ' RANCH* • CSpm House o fBIues i $1&~$20) 111 ¡ ¡¡I¡ill v^s'i^M-i',; it- 'miiiM-¿.j/• San Marcos West (760) 510-1997 i pätetoSante! j �10 Tuesday, October lO, 2006 10, OPINION V/l T H E P RIDE AIDS : COMPASSION IN A FRICA "The AIDS Crisis: Can you survive the journey of a child?"

We are handed headphones attached to a small media player, and a lantern to lead us through the night-filled tent. "Wait in front of the curtain" we are told. My sister goes in first. She steps behind the fabric wall and quickly vanishes into the caverns of the tent, only her silhouette and the diluted lantern light can still be seen. I step in front of the beaded curtain and turn on my headphones. Sounds of a bustling street, voices, and animals—all sounds of Africa surround me, call to me. I am instructed to go into the next room. It is empty. I sit down and I can still hear the noises of Africa dancing around me, I think I can even sense the various smells of Africa wade through the room. A voice comes on. It is a man. His name is Jalima, he will guide my journey tonight, he tells me. Walking into the next room I find myself in front of three curtained doorways. There is a name on each doorway, as there is a name printed on my media player: Beatrice. The voice of Beatrice starts to speak. I cross through Beatrice's entrance and without realizing it, I am transported into an entirely new world, taking on the mindset of Beatrice. Immediately I am introduced to Beatrice's life. She is seven and lives with her older, pregnant sister. Both of her parents died when she was younger. A series of pictures are in front of me, giving a face to Beatrice's name and her fragile voice. Images of poverty and disease, sorrow and despair, line the makeshift walls. I proceed through the maze of Beatrice's life and stop before 3 map. "You live in Zambia," Jalima tells me. I read the map and learn that Zambia has a population just over 11 million people. 1.2 million of those inhabitants are orphaned children, and 1.7 million of the entire population is HIV+ or has AIDS. As Ifinishreading statistics about Zambia, I slowly move into the next room. I am now standing in Beatrice's home, a small, oneroom hut. Dirty dishes, ragged clothes and dirt-tattered blankets are strewn about on the ground. I turn around and I can see a picture of her sister. "You're excited because your sister is going to have her baby today," Jalima tells me. Before me is a poster with pictures of teen mothers, primitive tools and abandoned babies. In red letters are the words "Maternal mortality." All of the sudden there are screams and wails playing into my ears. There is a constant cry of an infant, but the background cries are different. "Something is wrong," Jalima says. I stop and find myself searching the images and the imaginary scene in my head for an answer, "Your sister has just died in child birth," he answers. "No! She can't!" I silently yell to myself. The sound of a crying baby carries me into the next room. "Your sister had a baby girl. They have named her Myriam," he states. "But no one is claiming her. Your grandmother says she cannot afford to feed another mouth, and Clockwise starting with middle picture on left-hand side: *The room displaying Olivia's living quarters was just one of three displays students were able to view. *For each student's AIDS experience, they received a hand stamp corresponding to the HIV test results o f the person's life they experienced. *l received a negative result; my sister received a positive result. *After being diagnosed HIV positive or HIV negative, students continued their journey into a waiting room filled with hundreds of photos of people with HIV and AIDS. *At the end of their journey, students were encouraged to make a bracelet to remember their experience by. your other relatives are beginning to back away from the infant," explains Jalima, a tinge of sadness weighing behind his voice. "You stand there in silence " he tells Beatrice, just as I stand there listening in silence, "looking at the tiny baby nobody wants." What would you do if you were Beatrice? You stand there, the silence continuing to grow, until something inside of you aches, and you say, "I'll take her." How different would your life be? Only seven years old, orphaned, now with a baby? You have no mother, no father, no sister, no one at all except this tiny new life you have in your arms. No one wanted baby Myriam, and now this baby needs you more than you've ever needed anything. "The days go by and Myriam will not stop crying," Jalima continues. "You have no food to give her and no way of getting food. Each day gets harder and harder watching the other children in the village run and play and attend school. They used to be your friends, and that used to be you. You rummage through the streets, scavenging for food and water for you and little Myriam. You try to go and work and do small things to earn wages but Myriam doesn't like to be away from you. She doesn't like to be left alone, and she cries incessantly when you don't hold her." "Somehow, you and Myriam manage to survive for two years, you cannot believe it," he says. "But Myriam is so undernourished that she cannot sit up on her own even though she is two years old, and now her fingers, toes, and eyes have become infested with fleas and open sores. You do your best to wash her sores as often as you can, but you have no clean water and wiping her eyes only makes her cry more, and the pus infecting her eyes just comes right back after you wipe them. Poor Myriam; you're not sure how much longer she will be able to survive, and the last two years have taken a toll on your body as well. Weak from starvation and taking care of Myriam, you have Continued on Next Page �THROUGH E XPERIENCE PHOTOS BY A MANDA ANDREEN / the pride Continued from Previous Page j ust about given up, until one day you meet a new woman. You can see in her eyes that she is nice, and she offers to take care of you and Myriam," Jalima rejoices. The next room has the words "Health Clinic" and an arrow in yellow lettering painted on the wall. "Beatrice," Jalima tells me, "because your sister had HIV, and because your mother had HIV, we - . itive or HIV negative." The health clinic is a small room with three wooden benches. Long white bed sheets hang against the walls and there are large positive and negative signs stamped in red on the sheets above the benches. My sister sits across the room from me. We are instructed to wait. We will be told whefi it is time to get up and receive our test don't know if you and Myriam results. My sister goes first, gets her test results arid then leaves the room. A few minutes later it is my t urn. Not knowing her results, or even if I myself will be HIV positive, I stand up and walk towards the window. The clerk asks me i T Photographyr by have it or not If your sister A manda A ndreen apc a n c ein onto0U yriam, there is assed M uC / TU / ine P 'rip rriue ^ y° W have gotten y 0U wiped her open sores.

I place my hand on the windowsill, and he presses the stamp into my flesh. He l ifts it up for me to see the results^ Negative. I can't believe it. A fat, red, negative sign stretches across the width of my fist. Jalima tells me to proceed to the waiting room. He warns me that there might be Lanterns in one hand, and holding each other's hand with the other, we stop in front of a prayer wall. There are hundreds of prayers: prayers for healing, prayers for grace and understanding, prayers for forgiveness and love—and for a cure. A tear falls off my cheek as I set my lantern down to write a prayer. Pinning it to the wall, I am overcome with many questions, like why does there have to be so much suffering in the world? So much pain? Why is a whole continent dying from this horrible four-letter disease: AIDS? Just why? More importantly I was left asking what can we do about it? How can we stop it? And how can we help? Through my whole journey that night in the tent I felt compassion for Beatrice, and tried to contemplate what her life must have been like. How would I have kept faith in the face of such disparity? How did she keep her -faith? I guess all I can come up with for the millions of people affected by HIV and AIDS, for the millions of people dying today in Africa, the millions who have already died, and for the millions of people who feel compelled to do something about it, is that there is hope. The Africa Tent is just one way offering hope. There are dozens of organizations out there trying to save Africa and all it takes is one moment of your life to dedicate yourself and your heart to such others who have just a cause.

Letter to the editor: Where's the remberance for 9/11 September 11, 2001 was a tragedy that affected the whole world. It changed life as we know it. O ut innocence was lost as we watched planes barrel into the World Trade Center buildings, as well as the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. We watched with horror as thousands of innocent civilians found themselves in a situation that was far beyond our imaginations. People who felt they had no other option jumped to their deaths from 80 stories high. Heroes ran into the buildings without thought to save as many people as they could. The best in human character was brought out as well as the worst. In our local community, schools and businesses closed. Friends and families gathered together. We tried to find ways to handle the rush of emotions we were all feeling. Many of us begged, hoped, and prayo^for people to be pulled out alive from the rubble. Sadly, more were found dead than alive. Five years later, we as Americans should not allow ourselves to forget the catastrophe that occurred that shook us all to the core. As an active student on this campus, I am appalled that this sacred day was not remembered by our college campus or its leaders. I have been a member of Alpha Chi Omega for the last three years, and have been aware of ASI and other campus events throughout this time through other involved peers. I am now a graduate student finishing my teaching credential. My cohorts sat in class all Monday and they looked to me to find out if anything special had been planned for this day. Sadly, I had nothing to report on. A special edition of The Pride was not ¡published, a time of remembrance was not observed, and our precious University Hour was not utilized to bring our community of learners together and honor those that perished on September 11th. I picked up a copy of The Pride on Tuesday to see if anything had been written and I find at the very bottom of the front page a small rectangle stating: "We Will Remember 9-11-01." Then I turned all the pages and found the largest, article about alcohol and Mexican food without any other mention of September 11. How is it that margaritas and burritos deserve more words in our paper than those names of lives that paid the ultimate price? One semester a student organization put crosses in the grass to the east of Kellogg Library. Each cross represented soldiers that had passed away in the war following 9/11.1 assume that this was a form of protest against the war. However, nothing was done in remembrance of the 2,749 innocent victims that died five years ago! I hope that in six, ten, and even twentyfive years down the road, this University will remind the future youth of this world about the tragedy that happened. Youth need to be taught that we cannot allow something like this to happen again. This college claims in its own mission statement that it "exposes us to issues and traditions of the United States and other countries." The tradition of American patriotism and how this attack affected other countries as well as our own was completely ignored on 9/11/2006. "To be responsible men and women we must examine the moral and ethical issues^' (University Mission Statement) that led up to that day, and helped us survive the loss of human life. "This history is affecting our present and will continue to have a lasting affect on our future. We need to understand the human behavior, culture, values, and institutions" (University Mission Statement) that allowed fellow human beings to commit such horror. I am writing this to vent, but I also want answers. Why did the President of this University not arrange a campus-wide moment of silence? Why did The Pride not publish a list of names of those that were killed? Why did ASI not organize, a remembrance activity during University Hour? Why did the college staff not unite and allow individual classes tofindappropriate ways of honoring this day? Why was our American Flag not even lowered to half-mast? Why was this day completely ignored by our California State University? I, as well as cohort 77 and Alpha Chi Omega, and the rest of the student body of this university deserve an honest answer to describe such senselessness. In regards to the daily position of the American Flag, Section 7.e of the United States Flag code states that: "The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs" (emphasis added). Unless we have misread this code, the flag's positioning should be altered permanently and immediately to be in compliance with federal law. Completely Disappointed, Ashley Campbell Member of Alpha Chi Omega Graduate Student and Alumni Letter to the editor: ASI's Alumni masquerade refusal My name is Raul Montero, I am an alum from Gal State University San Marcos I am writing to you because I am very disturbed and upset regarding how Alumni are being treated by ASI. I have been going to Masquerade Ball for four years now, one year as an alum. To me this is tradition, and [the] Masquerade Ball is like Homecoming for CSUSM. I have been trying to get to the ASI office before it closes at 5 p.m. a few different times, [but]for a working professional it can be very difficult to get there by that particular time. Each time I was only late by two tofiveminutes and ASI was closed with nobody inside. I decided to call the ASI office to see if there was someway to arrange one single ticket for myself to the Masquerade Ball. When I did call, a message was relayed to me by the receptionist at ASI. The message was that Alumni are not allowed to purchase or obtain tickets for the Masquerade Ball. First of all, I have been to Masquerade Ball before as an alum and did not have trouble getting a ticket. So is this a new rule or is [ASI] just flat out lying to me? Second, is this how the school treats its own Alumni? By telling alumni that they are no longer allowed at CSUSM functions since they aren't a student anymore? I am sorry, but this is an outrage. I have never felt like I have been treated with such disrespect before in my life. If anything, Alumni should be at the top of the list, seeing that it is difficult for them to obtain tickets to the dance because most alumni are working professionals. Is this what we are telling prospective students? Sure, attend our school, but once you are Alumni you are no longer welcome? I honestly feel like the school has spit in my face; and at the same time the school is asking me for monetary contributions to CSUSM. I really hope The Pride feels my concern and shares it with the entire student body, because it seems to be the only organization on campus that isn't spitting in the face of the Alumni.

That is totally fine by us, so instead of doing our usual thing and telling you about our new favorite alcoholbased mixed drink, we've decided to shake things up a bit and venture into uncharted territory for this, edition of Drink of the Week. So, if you aren't of age yet, are taking a week off from the bars to detox, or just enjoy reading what the drink of the week is, then read on my friends, read on! For those ofyou Starbucks aficionados out Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride there, this DotW is right up your alley. And for those of you who are anti-Starbucks or have never experienced a Starbucks drink, the new line of autumn-inspired drinks at Starbucks might just tickle your fancy. Along with the seasonal pumpkin-flavored lattes, Frappuccinos and crème drinks, there are also new maple syrup flavored drinks available. This week's latest discovery is the new Maple Macchiato. And when I say "new," I'm mean it is just within the past week that this syrupy delight has invaded the decorative chalkboards hanging on the walls of Starbucks Coffee Company Stores nationwide. What is in a Maple Macchiato, you ask? Well, if you've ever had a Caramel Macchiato, it's pretty similar; just subtract the caramel and add maple syrup and you're set. For a 16 ounce Maple Macchiato (also known as a Grande), your local barista would start with three pumps of maple syrup, then add steamed milk, two shots of espresso, a scoop of foam, and maple drizzle, and viola! Your very own Maple Macchiato. I will warn you though—the Maple Macchiato isn't for amateurs. It's kind of like drinking pancakes, and it's really just like drinking maple syrup. Personally, I wasn't too crazy about it; I think I'll stick with my Caramel Macchiato, thank you very much. But if you've ever gone to Denny's and wished you could combine your Pancake Slam breakfast with a hot cup of coffee, this drink is a match made in heaven for your taste buds. A little bit of the Maple Macchiato goes a long way, so as with many things in life, the general rule "less is more" is definitely appropriate to apply to Starbucks' Maple Macchiato. Enjoy! Beer of the Week Samuel Adams Octoberfest BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer For almost two hundred years, the Bavarian holiday of Oktoberfest has been celebrated in countries around the world. Originally created to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig I to Princess Therese SaxeHildburghausen in 1810, Oktoberfest is celebrated with drinking specially brewed beers and traditional dishes in large public tents. This week marks the end of Oktoberfest; the festivities typically last 15 days until the first Sunday in October. That not withstanding, in a continuation of our Oktoberfest celebrations, we will look at another domestic Oktoberfest brew—Samuel Adams Octoberfest brew. While it may be on par with German Oktoberfest brews such as Paulaner or Spaten Oktoberfest-Biers, of the American Oktoberfest beers, Samuel Adams is perhaps one of the best. It hasa beautiful, dark reddish amber, almost pumpkin color to it. It pours with a full fizzy head that lasts for several minutes. The beer's smell is complex, malty and sweet; mixing a caramelflavorwith a bit of spice. In the tradition of Oktoberfest beers, it is darker, stronger and spicier than its year-round counterparts. Samuel Adams Octoberfest is 5.4% alcohol content by volume versus the 4.9% of the typical Boston Lager, and it's slightly darker in color. The beer has four malts: Crystal, Harrington, Moravian and Munich, all of which can clearly be tasted over the hop's profile. It has a rich mouthfeel and a dry but pleasant aftertaste. Samuel Adams Octoberfest is a good session beer, or it can be easily paired with a variety of heartier dishes. It is available from August through October, as a draft and in 12 ounce bottles in six and twelve packs. When the Oktober- é ÊÊPÊtb fest season comes to a close it is always a sad- ^ ^ K f l dening time, but this year, it is especially poignant time. Last week a raging fire in Yakima, Washington destroyed 4% of the United States' beer brewing hops. While the beer industry Will survive, it is an u n f o r t u n a t e .*§ event which ^ robbed the S beer drinkers ° of this country of so many © delicious hops. & In respect to s both thé end of the season and this terrible loss, it's only appropriate to raise a glass of Samuel Adams Octoberfest. wmm Master of Education in Postsecoaáary AdmMstratioa and StudentAffairs Âthlmc Âdmmtmtkm SmâmtAiïms Master of Education Doctor of Education Program Doctor of Phüosoffcf Raided Pkû.

Some kind of saving grace to transport you to an alternate frame of mind or sense of being? Well, look no further. Jonny Lang's "Turn Around" is about to alleviate your bout of existential turmoil. With a soulful album of fiery blues, traditional twang, Southern gospel rock and total guitar domina- tion, don't be afraid to give good 'ol Jonny his dues when you pop "Turn Around" into your Discman for a listen or two. "Jonny Lang?!" you're thinking—yes, Jonny Lang. As he proclaims on "Anything's Possible," "don't be deceived, anything is possible." This latest album separates him from his yesteryears, helping him break free from what most of us remember him as: a kid pop-star that broke into the scene around the time of Hanson and the cult followings of boy bands. Keeping that in mind, Jonny's "Turn Around" has inadvertently become the soundtrack for my 2006 whirlwind fall semester at CSUSM. The 15 tracks act as a wardrobe of emotions and memories, each song suiting a different disposition. If it's a pick-me-up or whim of inspiration you need, then "Turn Around" has your name written all over it. Can't stop thinking about that special someone? Then "My Love Remains" is the song your heart is singing. Ever feel like there is something more out there for you and you just haven't been able to put your finger on it yet? "Only a Man" has the validation you're looking for and will sting you with its comfort and truth. The beautiful duet and falsettos created by Jonny himself remind me of a rootsy gospel country hymn, leading me down an imaginative path of self-discovery. Immediately following is the upbeat "Don't Stop (For Anything)" that will get you moving and your soulful rock attitude back in check. I guarantee you'll find yourself rocking out to this one, nodding your head and WORKING FOR CALIFORNIA CSU students and the faculty at our 23 universities need and deserve a learning environment that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is disappointed that the California Faculty Association bargaining team did not allow its members to evaluate the most recent proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes: • • A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional 1 percent augmentation for compensation Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the number of years from five to four • Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors • No changes to ¿acuity eligibility tor PERS retirement • Above standard health and dental benefits totaling $ 120 million per year in contributions by the CSU. This includes $12 million in contributions CSU will pay for health costs for faculty during 2007-08. • Gradual ly increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of four years they pay the same parking fees as students and Michael Buble all have nothing on Jonny Lang. Even if you're still on the fence regarding the strikingly talented Mr. Lang, take my advice and give "Turn Around" a chance. It's time to break free from your listening habits; give that worn out Jack Johnson album a rest and mix things up. What's the worst that could happen? ! for ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ l ^ ^ i r d v.

Eager filmgoers gathered outside the theater, waiting to see the Vancouver-born actor's new film, "Hot Tamale," in which he plays Jude, a jewel thief on the run. Before he was ushered to his seat, I was able to have a word with Priestly, who had this to say to the aspiring actors at CSUSM: "I always feel like the most impor- The Pride's interview with J ason Priestly tant advice to give young actors is to study [and] to stay in school. The one thing that has reaped more rewards for me as a performer is the fact that I took the time to go to theater school and study my craft. The exceptions to the rule are very few and far between, the exceptions being people who got off a bus in Hollywood and were discovered at the counter in Schwab's drug store. But, the reality is that doesn't happen. The most important thing you can do arid the most important respect that you can pay your craft as a thespian is to study and to understand what it is that you're doing. Once you have that k nowledge, you always have that knowledge to , fall b ack o n. The Pride's A&E editor interviews Jason Priestly at the Pacific 15 Theater. There are always times in every actor's career where you sort of find yourself floundering, and you can get lost within the material and not know what to do. But if you have studied, and if you have the knowledge to fall back on, you can figure it out and the path will become clear."

An unpredictable combination of canapés, cocktails, and RedBull fueled the enthusiasm of those in attendance. Amongst them were Markus and Mason Canter, otherwise known as The Flying Canter Brothers. The Pride managed to catch up with the highflying directing duo to ask them a few questions. The Pride: Do you have any advice for Cal State San Marcos future filmmakers? Markus: First and foremost, getting to the San Diego Film Festival—it's all about making movies, one movie at a time. You tell a great story. Definitely tell a great story. Mason: Tell something that you know Image courtesy of FCB about, something that you have been emotionally connected to for a while; and be passionate about it. Don't pick something just because you think it's what everybody wants. Pick something that's individual to you. And, if you tell that story, if you get it out to people in a way that connects to them, then your audiences are going to feel it. And it's all about emotions. The movie business is about putting a bunch of moments together that creates an entire feeling [and] tells a story. Our whole thing, what do we say? (He turns to Markus) We always say do stuff that you're passionate about. Get off the couch. Markus: Making a movie, you're going to invest anywhere from a weekend to a few years into making afilm,depending on what you're doing. And if you're going to do that, you want to focus on something that everyday you're going to be passionate about and inspired to keep doing, because after about a month or a year of making a movie - you've spent your money on it, and you've put your time and your heart into it - if you haven't chosen something you really believe in, at the end of the day you're really not going to make a great movie. Mason: Another thing I would love to add is that right now we are so fortunate, because [the] technology that we have today, with cameras like the DVX100A or the new HD, the 200, you can, anybody can, go out there and be afilmmaker.And you can make professional quality stuff. So, it gives you the opportunity to experiment. It's not like back in the day where 16mm was really expensive and you had to rent the camera. Get your hands on any camera you can and experiment until you find your voice and youfindsomething that works for you. Markus: I'll also say that both of us went tofilmschool, so, and this is to whether you went to film school or not, but ultimately what I have seen in the mentors I have had in my life or just the people that have been masters in this craft [is that] it's a lifetime thing. You get better every time you do this. Every time you pick up [a] camera you get better. Every time you tell a story or write something, you get better at it. So [if] somebody starts out and they have a passion for it [and] their first movie [doesn't] quite work out, do it again, because you will get better each time you do it. Mason: If you are lucky enough that there is somebody around that you admire that is already makingfilms,try to learn as much as you can from them. If there's not, then pick who your favorite filmmaker is and leafn everything about them. Whether it's Coppola, Spielberg, or Scorsese, whoever it is that you love, know as much as you can about how they made their movies and how they got to where they are, so that you can learnfromtheir knowledge. The Pride: Do you have a favorite filmmaker? Mason: We have a couple. Markus: Being the fact that we're the Flying Canter Brothers, obviously we love the Coen brothers. The Coen brothers are one of our all-time favorites. Scorsese is [also] definitely a favorite. Mason: Usually I always say Kubrick. Marcus was always really into Kubrick. All my papers in college were about Kubrick because visually he's amazing. Markus: The way he V H B frames every image I love it. g ^ V But there are so many great and I B B amazing filmmakers. It's more • • like what movies—I love this ^ ffik movie from this filmmaker. I B B ^ love that one from another one. And we like a l l ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ genres. We're not partial to any one genre. Photos by Mary Foley / The Pride Directors of the film Mason (left) and Markus (right) Canter. We just like telling different stories in different ways, keeping it fresh. The Pride: What made you decide to make "Chasing the Horizon"? Mason: We had written a movie called "Bobby Zero" that we're getting geared up to make, but we did a deal with Effie Brown [Producer Effie Brown, head of Duly Noted Inc.] who produced "Real Women Have Curves;" She won the Independent Spirit Award for that. And when we did our deal with her, we knew that we had a bit of time between the movie she was working on and when we were going to be able to make ["Bobby Zero"]. The great thing about "Chasing the Horizon" is that it's a documentary and in documentaries no one has to give you a green light but you, You can put together a small crew of people, get your friends together, people that you trust that are talented, and go out there [and] find something you want to tell a story about. For us, it just happened to be that we're race fans and this movie's backdrop is the Baja 1000 which is one of the most famous races in the world. [It's] dangerous and grueling, and people try their entire life just to try to win [it]. They will do it year after year, after year, after year. Luckily enough, we met Jeff Lloyd who owns the team, and it was his first year [in the BajalOOO]. We wanted to tell a story that was about a guy who was starting out from scratch, a rookie, someone who Markus: (Breaks in.) This is the underdog story. "Chasing the Horizon" is the ultimate underdog story. It's a feature documentary about a misfit, dysfunctional, rookie offroad racing team. [It follows} one man's quest and dream of win-, ning and finishing this race. Filmmaking is about humanity. It's about human beings. We had never made a documentary and doing a documentary is the ultimate truth. Our bias becomes imprinted on it. But, we went out to make this [documentary] as close to exactly what happened as possible and ultimately that's what we did. We learned so much as directors doing it. You're watching real, live performances in front of your eyes, and you really get to learn what it feels like. So, I think infilmschool, if I was starting infilmschool today and I was having a class, I would have people go out and make documentaries first so [they] can see what reality looks like on film. Now that we're going to go make "Bobby Zero," I can feel reality better than ever, so when I see a performance and someone is performing and it feels like a performance... Mason: (Breaks in.) Our movie never has a moment that feels forced. And I say that really confidently because we spent a lot of time to make sure that everything that was in it was exactly how it went down. We never asked the guys in it, like some reality TV producers [do], "Hey, can you say that line," or, "We need you to fight with that guy." The reason people connect to [our film] is because it's real. And people did connect to "Chasing the Horizon." Thefilmwon Best Documentary later that evening. Expressing both their happiness and their surprise, the Canter brothers were defiantly flying high that night. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Calendar of Events California State University, San Marcos ... 8 Vandals hurled eggs and blue paint at the banner of Ernesto " Che" Guevara late Wednesday night. The banner was hung prominently on the Science Hall building on Wednesday. The vandals not only d efaced the banner but, due to their poor aim, the Science Building was defaced as well. Facilities' preliminary attempt to clean the building f ailed and f urther requires either a stronger cleaning solution, or possibly even the grinding down of the wall. The p etty vandalism, t hough/ did not stop MEChA (El Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano d e Aztlan) f rom honoring Che Guevara on the 3 0 ^ anniversary of his death. Ricardo Favela, vice president of MEChA stated that " it's not going t o stop , us or slow us down." The banner was cleaned and hung once again the next day. The film, "El Che", and bilingual discussion on Che Guevara, sponsored by MEChA, drew standing-room^only attendance the following Thursday in Commons 2 06. The discussion was set up, according to Favela, as an educational program on Che Guevara. P rofessor Anibal Yanez-Chavez and special guest speaker Hector Muro, f rom Mexicanos Unidos en Defensia del Pueblo, led the discussion on Guevara's legacy and relevance to the problems facing us today. The discussion covered many different aspects of Guevara's legacy, including his status as a people's revolutionary hero as well as his economic, political, and social ideology. The discussion also covered the continued exploitation of the Latino and Chicano community, institutional separation of Latinos f rom their culture, and the commercialization of G uevara's image without the ideology he stood for. Although the discussion was primarily pro-Guevara, t here were critical questions concerning his stands on issues such, as communism and religion. As a young pre-med. student traveling through Latin America, Che witnessed the P9verty of the people. He was convinced, that the only way to help the people was t hroughtevolution. He is well-known f or his role in the Cuban Revolution and in the uprisings in Zaire and Bolivia. A medical doctor, Che started schools, hospitals, and a "people's" newspaper in his lifetime. He was also the .author of theoretical works on economics, society, and guerrilla warfare. Some of his works include Socialism and Man in Cuba, Guerrilla Warfare, and Che Guevara and the Cuban Revolution: Writings and Speeches of Ernesto Che Guevara. Seventh Annual CSUSM Pow Wow Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER Drumming and singing could be heard all over the campus on October 2 and 3 as C SUSM's 7th. annual Pow Wow took place on the campus soccer field. Representatives f rom more than 50 tribes gathered along with more than 25 vendors and numerous student and community organizations f or what one participant described as "a time to celebrate being Indian." The smell of burning sage wafted across the field as the drums ushered each group of dancers into the arena. An announcer on the stage introduced the groups and explained the significance of the dances as well as the protocol f or the spectators gathered around the edges of the arena t o watch the dahcers. Those not watching the dancing strolled around under the tents that lined t he field as vendors sold jewelry, clothing, books, artwork and f ood. "This is a family gathering," said Thomas Weir, chair of site planning and logistics f or the Pow Wow committee, who explained that the head dancers chosen f or the Pow Wow symbolized the members of a traditional family. " It's also a good time to reclaim old acquaintances." Diana Zapata thought about her reasons f or coming to the Pow Wow while taking part in an intertribal dance with her family. "We came h ere," she said, "because w e want t o increase our cultural awareness." C SUSM's Pow Wow is also known as a "veterans Pow Wow" because an estimated 80% of the adult male participants are veterans, according to Weir. The Pow Wow featured many specialty dances. One dance performed was the Gourd Dance, which h onors all veterans. Gourd dancers wear their military service medals proudly on their traditional red shawls and carry gourd shakers in their right hands. The warrior image is a very significant aspect of Indian culture, and that importance is r eflected at the Pow Wow. During t he grand entry f lags f rom all branches of the armed services are carried around the arena. Dancers, vendors, organizers and spectators had many reasons f or attending this y ear's Pow Wow, ranging f rom the lush grass and the good weather to an appreciation f or an event known to be a small and intimate gathering. "This i s h omey," said arena director Charlie Silverwater. "At other, bigger Pow Wows people tend t o get lost." "This is a good way to learn about Indian culture," said vendor D elphina Oclitso-Barr, a N avajo Indian.

If you find that email them to psychefairy@hotmail.com have a problem with this col- these dates are willfiilly entered, Dear Psyche Fairy, scrutiny placed upon Greek Organizations, a letter to the editor in the October 4 edition further proved this point. This letter to the editor strengthens the argument regarding the stereotypes, and ignorance toward Greek Letter Organizations. Maybe i t's because some are intimidated by the idea of an organization designed to contribute and provide support to not only its members, but its surrounding community. Greek Organizations here at CSU San Marcos and throughout the country do more community service and help the American Public than any other NON-PROFIT Organization. However when something goes wrong Greeks are the first to blame, similar to the blatant attack at one of these organizations in that letter to the editor, evoked entirely because of a simple misquote. It's as if these organizations are constantly being judged and scrutinized by a relentless eye, and at the first sign of difficulty the vultures are quick to attack. I 'm left to wonder what could evoke this ignorance in a community, which we strive to help each day of our lives? Maybe they are threatened by the leadership skills that these organizations impose upon their members, and the high potentials that each individual is encouraged to strive towards. Is it just coincidence that almost 40 Presidents of the United States were in a social Fraternity, or that 90 percent of all President and C EO's of Fortune 500 Companies were in Greek Letter Organizations? Even looking at leadership here at CSU San Marcos ASI President Waleed Delawari, ASI Programming Rep Mbalaka Monololo, and Undergraduate Rep Jesus Corona are all in Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. ASI Vice President Robert Radovich is in Tau Kappa Epsilon, ASI College of Business Rep Newsha Digius, and Inter Club Council Vice Chair Arti Patel are in Alpha Chi Omega Sorority. It's obvious that Greek Organizations are serious when they claim to develop individuals who get involved, and make a difference. When people try to discredit and belittle these organizations, which stand to make a difference and help those who are less fortunate, says a lot for the world we live in. There remains little room to ponder why there are less acts of good will and kindhearted people in our society. Dean Manship Inter Club Council Chairman Greek Presidents Council Chairman & President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity EDITORS' RESPONSE In The Pride Vol. VII issue 6 October 4, 1999, and The Pride Vol. VII issue 5 September 27,1999, you will note that the stereotypes to which you refer are not found in the articles run in The Pride. Rather, in both the "First Annual Child Trot Fest Pulls Together Student Organizations, " and "Brotherhood on Campus" articles The Pride portrayed social Greek fraternities evenhandedly and in a positive light. The stereotypes which you so ardently argue against are those expressed by some members of the campus community. The Pride supports the efforts of the Greek fraternities in their efforts to combat the stereotypes which they face. by Cindy Tagliapietra PRIDE STAFF WRITER Who is Tukwut?

A Photo Exhibit by Victor Aleman Dedicated CSUSM Administrator Will be Greatly Missed Joni Miller Adra Hallford PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER Flags flew at half mast on the CSUSM campus Wednesday, September 6, 1999, to recognize the passing this week of Sandra Kuchler, Dean of Students, after a t wo-y^r battle with cancer. Funeral services were held on Wednesday at Eternal Hills in Oceanside f or the dean who was known affectionately on campus as 'Sandy.' The Student Affairs Office has placed a collage of pictures, a short biography, and a poem in Sandy's honor by the door to their o ffice in remembrance of the Dean and as an "expression of their sadness at her passing. Though obviously affected by the loss, the o ffice does not anticipate any disruption in student services as a result. Former Director of Housing Susan Mitchell was appointed Interim Dean of Students a fter Sandy Kuchler exercised an early retirement option at the beginning of August. It is with deepest sympathy that I inform you of the passing of Sandra Kuchler after a two-year struggle with cancer. As Director of Student Development Services, she led the development of Counseling and Psychological Services, Disabled Student Services and Health Services programs. Sandy became especially interested and effective in serving non-traditional students. In 1993, she was appointed Associate Dean of Students and served until 1998, when she became Dean of Students. Sandy had been a part of our community since 1981, when she was appointed Assistant Dean f or Students at what was then SDSU's North County Center. She worked closely with outreach and recruitment efforts and was a major factor in the C enter's growth f rom 167 to 2,000 stu-^ dents.

The total expected cost of the project, to be completed in November 2001, is $7.1 million. $1.4 million is to come from donations while "most of the f unds, $4.5 million, will come f rom student f ees assessed over the next several years," says the North County Times. The 35,000 square foot facility will house weight rooms, locker rooms, and o ffice space. For those of you unacquainted with the struggle of the United Farm Workers of America, a profound exhibit is currently on display in our CSUSM Library. Photojournalist and multi-media artist Victor Aleman offers prolific images of the courageous journey of Cesar Chavez in a photo art exhibit entitled "On Cesar Chavez Side." Depicting the struggle and plight of California's farm workers through Chavez' work, Aleman captures the human condition that Chavez strove to shed light upon. See PHOTO Pg. 6 Presented by the Arts and Lectures specially formed Trust Foundation has until June to raise $1.5 million in donations f or the much-anticipated building. Voters passed Proposition 1A in November making state bond money available for the new library, adding to the $1 million donation received from Rancho Santa Fe residents Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II in 1996. The new Library is expected to cost $44.6 million after it is built and furnished. It will measure 198,000 square feet, and is expected to hold 840,000 printed volumes with seating for 1,600 students. This dwarfs the current Library Services location, which takes up only 34,000 square feet of Craven Hall and holds about 150,000 bound books. Once the LIC is completed, the existing library space is to be used f or a Student Information center. "You have breast cancer" is a sentence no one wants to hear in her lifetime. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Pride will print articles concerning this important issue as a special service to the women and men at CSUSM. 6. (A diagnosis of breast cancer i s an emergency.) Most breast cancers have been present for eight to ten years by the time you can f eel a lump, and s o there certainly i s time for you to get a second opinion, to read, and to f ully explore the options. Ten Myths about Breast Cancer (from Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book) * Some health professionals do not agree with Dr. Love on this issue. 7. (A mastectomy ensures that the cancer i s gone forever.) Mastectomy will remove the breast, however, it will not guarantee that the cancer will not recur. Eight to ten percent of women will have a recurrence in the scar after a mastectomy and there is also the p ossibility o f metastases (spreading). Lumpectomy and radiation are as good as mastectomy in preventing breast cancer from returning. 1. (Having f ibrocystic disease increases your risk of breast cancer.) Fibrocystic disease i s a general term for any benign process in the breast and does not increase the risk of breast cancer. 2. ( Coffee increases your risk of breast cancer.) C offee was once thought to increase the symptoms of fibrocystic disease. This was found not to be true and, in some statistics, c offee prevents breast cancer. 3. (Only women with a family history o f breast-cancer are at risk.) 80% of women who develop breast cancer have no family history, although women who have a family history of breast cancer are at increased risk. 4. (Mammography is 100% accurate in early breast cancer detection.) Mammography is a very important tool for detecting breast cancer early, however, it is not 100% accurate.* Any woman who has a lump ^nd has a normal mammogram still needs to have it checked out. 5. (Older women don't have to worry about • breast cancer.) The older you are, the higher your risk of breast cancer. So all women need to worry about breast cancer. 8. (A breast cancer diagnosis i s a death sentence.) We cure most early breast cancer with standard treatments. Even women who are not cured of breast cancer are certainly able to add three to f ive disease-free years to their l ives. 9. (Breast s elf-exams done routinely will find all cancers at a curable state.) Breast s elf-exams have never been shown to make a difference in the mortality of breast cancer. It i s wishful thinking to b elieve it can always find cancer at a curable stage. 10. (Only women get breast cancer.) Men are also able to get breast cancer and, in fact, there are some 5 00 cases every year of breast cancer in men in this country. As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it would seem only natural to include a "How to do a Breast Self-Exam" for the women at CSUSM. This three-step technique comes to you courtesy of The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The best time to examine your breasts i s during the week after your period. That's when your breasts will be s oftest and least tender, and a lump will be easiest to find. You might feel uncomfortable and afraid the first f ew times you examine your breasts, but the more you get to know the characteristics of your breasts, the more comfortable the exam will become. In the shower: Raise one arm and place your hand on the back of your head. S lowly and methodically, move the pads of your fingertips over the breast in a circular pattern. Don't forget to f eel in the armpit area. Repeat on the other side. Before a mirror: With your arms resting at your sides, look for changes in the shape of your breasts, as well as s welling, dimpling, or indentations in the skin, or changes in the skin or nipples. Then raise your arms over your head and repeat the procedure. Finally, place the palms of your hands on your hips and press down s o that your chest muscles f lex; again, look for changes in the breasts and nipples. Lying down: Lie down and put a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using the pads of your fingertips, make the same circular.pattern of your right breast as y ou did in the shower. Don't forget to feel the armpit and the chest area from the collarbone to below the breast. Repeat, using firmer pressure. Squeeze the nipple gently to see if there's any discharge. Repeat the procedure on the l eft breast. Report any strange findings or changes to your doctor right away! �4 ® fje P r t b e Monday, October 11, 1 999 Rape Aggression Defense Class for Women Victoria B. Segall PRIDE STAFF WRITER One in four college women have reportedly been sexually assaulted during their college years, according to a Ms. Magazine Poll that studied sexual assault and rape. CSUSM has 5,600 students, 2/3 of whom are female. The statistics indicate that of the 3,700 females, 25% of the women on campus may fall victim to rape.?— a frightening concept. Fortunately there are ways women on campus can protect themselves and reduce their risks, of being attacked. One way is through CSUSM's Rape Aggression Defense Class for Women (RAD). RAD begins Wednesday, October 13, and runs through October 22. There are four class dates total, two Wednesday and two Friday night classes from 6:30pm - 9:30pm in the Visual & Performing Arts Annex. More RAD Classes will be offered every other month Rape Aggression Defense Classes for Women are present in several colleges and universities across the country. RAD was developed in Virginia in 1978 by a retired police officer. According to Larry Dadeau, Executive Director of RAD, the objective of the classes are: "To develop and enhance the options of self-defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked." RAD has been present at CSUSM f or about f ive years. The RAD classes teach selfdefense strategies—practicing both physical and verbal techniques and, most importantly, teach the women how to become more aware of their surroundings and avoid dangerous situations. Students also gain additional information f rom guest speakers like locksmiths and members of the Escondido Youth Encounter. Perhaps the most exciting part of RAD is the last night of class. On the last night the students take part in individual attack simulations where they will experience three set-scenarios. The set scenarios will include at least two "attackers,"including instructor Officer Mario Sainz, dressed in protective head and body gear. In the event that the s tudent may become nervous and " freeze," the control monitor, who oversees the scenario, will stop the scenario and continue the simu- lation when the student is ready. Instructors design the classes to suit the needs of the students of RAD; participants have ranged f rom ages twelve to eighty-three years old. m T he instructors go through rigorous physical training and tests and volunteer their time to teach the classes. Officer Mario Sainz, who has been teaching the class f or almost six years, is the official instructor f or RAD. B arb Acevedo has been assisting in classes f or the last f our years and has been an See RAD pg. 5 Freshmen Fat Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER "The Freshman F ifteen." You may have had it. Some still carry the burden well beyond their freshman year. What is it? The phenomenon of first year college freshman gaining fifteen pounds of body weight. "It happens, and do you know why? Pizza. Pizza and soda are the number one cause" says Susan Carman, Licensed Vocational Nurse and CSUSM Health Educator. Students who think that they might need to make a change in their diet can eliminate the guesswork by consulting the CSUSM Student Health Services Center? Students can schedule a thirtyniinute appointment to receive a FREE computerized nutritional analysis of their diet, or a FREE Body Composition Analysis that details an individual's percentage of body fat, ideal weight, and basal metabolic rate. One could even schedule an hour-long appointment and do them both. The body composition analysis is typically priced between $50-75 at a health spa. The f ree services do not stop there. With every scheduled appointment, students can also get nutritional counseling f rom Susan Carman and her 15 years of experience. "I work with foods the person likes to eat," says Carman, adding "Pizza i sn't all bad. It j ust needs to be balanced with a salad." I t's difficult to make radical changes. Carman d oesn't promote food restriction but prefers that students "add in healthy f oods." For many freshmen, attending college is their first experience away from the home. O ften students must rearrange their daily routine to f it their new class, study, and social schedules. Diet and exercise are often the first to be compromised. When asked to reflect on "The Campus Beat" question in the September 26th issue of The Pride, "If you could change anything in the cafeteria, what would it b e?" Carman responded " I'd like to see them have nutritional values available f or all of the f oods. I 've made suggestions b efore, but they seldom listen." Sounds like the supervisors f rom the Dome need to call 750-4915 and schedule an appointment to use the "Nutritionist 4 " computerized nutritional analysis program. why say it twice when once will suffice?

Adra Hallford GOGEEKI PRIDE STAFF WRITER Joni Miller Computer friendships and romantic relationships come as no surprise with the spread of the Internet in the everyday lives of most people. It is not unusual to hope f or the blossoming of " cyber-love" into an "in-theflesh," physical relationship. But oh, Psyche Fairy and others, be forewarned! Danger can lurk in the shadows of deceptively innocent binary data and online flirtation. To explain, the same types of predators who stalk people in the non-digital world have found a new realm of darkness in which to gather information and find cover on the Internet. Here i s but one way these stalkers win over the unsuspecting: It is relatively easy to lurk in a chat room, observe who is talk- ing to whom, and get on someone's email list. When emails are sent, most people include their recipient list in the to: field of the message. Recipients names and addresses are often listed here. Once these names and addresses go out, the lurker can then go back to the chat room armed with name, screen name, email address* and after a quick to any online White Pages service, the phone number, physical address, and even a point to point map to the home of almost anyone from the list. The lurker, who should now be considered a stalker, can pretend to know people known to those with whom he/she is corresponding. A Mend of a friend has more credibility than a stranger, and trust is more easily gained in this manner. From here, life becomes a waking nightmare for*the victim of the stalker. So, how does one engage in online romance without risking being stalked? First and foremost, proceed with caution. Protect your information and you protect yourself. Protect yourself and your friends by putting email addresses in the bcc: field (blind carbon copy). When that new cyber-love wants to meet, ask f or references. If that offends him/her, drop this cyberloser faster than T1 line download time! Before meeting, make sure that you have thoroughly checked out their references. Finally, meet at the local police station. That should cool the j ets of most ne'er-do-wells. How you proceed wiH decide if you think lovebytes means online love in its fullest expression, or love bites. Profile: Professor Robin Keehn Catherine Matsumoto .PRIDE STAFF WRITER There's a bright future ahead f or Re-Entry students. At eighteen, Robin Keehn enrolled in college, at age twenty, she opted to drop out. After ten years of working as a waitress and a housekeeper, Robin decided that it was time to go back to college and to eventually pursue a career. While looking to enroll at SDSU, she was steered to CSUSM, which was closer to her home in North County. Having had an interest in the arts and writing in high school, she chose Liberal Arts as her major. The university offered academically challenging course work, small classes, and a dedicated faculty. Focused on finishing her college education, Robin found that CSUSM would satisfy her academic objective. " I had a sense of earnestness, commitment and desire to learn, traits that are common f or re-entry students," she says, " I found every class fascinating and each professor someone I wanted to get to know." After receiving her Bachelors degree in 1992, Dr. Ken Mendoza convinced Robin to go on f or a Ph.D.. Keehn applied to UCSD and was accepted to the Literature and Writing Department. There she interacted with students who had graduated f rom prestigious universities such as Yale and Princeton. When asked if it was intimidating to compete with the other students she replied, "The education I received at CSUSM gave me absolute confidence to reach my goal." Today, you will find her name on a plaque in Craven Hall among CSUSM's first graduating class. Even more impressive, Dr. Keehn teaches in the Literature and Writing department and is the director of CSUSM's Writing Center. She says of her accomplishment, "It may sound cliche, but it is a dream come true. I am thrilled and privileged to be here." Dr. Keehn, a native San Diegan, lives in North County with her husband and four-yearold daughter. Her husband, who was also a re-entry student, teaches English at the local community college. Sharing some r e-entry. wisdom Robin says, "don'fcfocuson what you should have done but concentrate and enjoy what y ou're doing now." She invites re-entry students to contact her at the Writing Center. Pow Wow Cont. from pg. 1 Although our version of the Pow Wow is a modern development, it has roots in ancient traditions. History Professor A1 Schwartz explained that the name "Pow Wow" comes f rom the Algonquin word for "doctor" and has evolved into its presentday meaning because of the dancing and drumming which accompanied* the healing process. "The modern Pow Wow is less than a century old, but it connects to things that are 5000 years old," he said. year. Along with the organ izers, he credited the approximately 50 volunteers, many of them CSUSM students, with making the Pow Wow happen. she thought Pow Wows perpetuated stereotypes about Indians, Oclitso-Barr suggested that people should look beyond the Pow Wow to learn about other aspects of Indian life. "This is j ust the f ace" of a rich cultural tradition, she said. "There's a lot more to it." Part cultural expression, part spiritual ritual, part social gathering, the Pow Wow represented different things to different people as they watched and listened, ate and shopped. " It's a time f or rejoicing about what we have," said Ernest Black Wolf Flebotte, a vendor, Gpurd Dancer, Vietnam veteran, and Algonquin Indian f rom Canada. The Pow Wow at CSUSM has • » •. grown tremendously f rom its humble beginnings as a storytelling session attended by 300400 people in the faculty parking lot. Weir estimated that 5000 to 7000 attended the Pow Wow this PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride The goal of the Pow Wow is not to make a profit, Weir said, but to break even. The Pow Wow hopes each year to put away some seed money for the next year, so that the committee is not starting f rom scratch. "So f ar w e've been successful." One person who was extremely happy about that success was Dr. David Whitehorse, professor of education and co-chair of this year's event. "This is the best thing the university puts on," he said. PRIDE STAFF WRITER When you hear the words "Geek L ife," what images come to mind? Do you picture scenes f rom "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," like Carlton Banks dancing, or the unforgettable Steve Erkel on "Family Matters"? Or are you completely oblivious and could care less about Geek L ife on campus? Either way, you should be a little curious because Geeks can be found in the classrooms of every college, and they riiay even be future co-workers. Would you have ever guessed that the likes of Bill Gates, Robin Williams, E ltonJohn, R2D2, and all of "The Wallflowers" were GEEKS? I have information f rom good sources that there were many famous historical GEEKS, long before the American Greek L ife craze of 1776. The likes of Beethoven, Napoleon, Socrates and Jesus are j ust a few with Geek roots. The good news about GEEK LIFE is that GEEKS ARE OUT! Yes, Geeks never were in the closet! Geeks d on't have to give secret handshakes, have mottoes, or take oaths t o discuss their revolutionary ideas. In fact, Geeks have infiltrated CSUSM, You may have seen a few of us on campus. W hile Greeks are busy with RUSH the first few weeks of class, a Geek d oesn't rush into anything. In fact, a Geek may wander aimlessly throughout the campus, (so as not to look lost), arriving fashionably late to class. While Greeks require an evening gown or black tie ensemble for various functions, a Geek may. easily show up i h T-shirts and jeans, Birkenstocks, any rubber-soled shoe, or a stylish oxford without socks. A BMW may be the Greek's choice of transportation, but not a Geek's. A Geek seeks out alternative modes of transportation to promote and encourage a healthy environment for humans and other living creatures. An occasional Geek can be seen purchasing their monthly student bus pass at the ASI office, locking up their trusty bicycle steed outside of the dome, or (my personal choice) riding a little red scooter. I have reason to believe that you probably know a Geek, or even have one in your family! Then again, there is always the chance that, yes, you too could be a GEEK. The following is a questionnaire to see if you are a GEEK: 1. Are you a slave to fashion? 2. Do you drive your daddy's BMW to school? 3. Do you watch every episode of Ally McBeal? 4. Have you secretly wished you were in a fraternity/sorority? If you answered NO to two or more of these questions you may be a GEEK or have strong GEEK tendencies. But FEAR NOT! I hereby offer the students of Cal State San Marcos the alternative to Greek Life. GEEK LIFE! There is NO criteria for geeks, no bids for membership, or chance of exclusivity. One does not have to hold high social status in the community, nor have a minimum income. You will never be asked to wear formal attire, at any time. If this sounds too good to be true, you are on your way to being a GEEK! If by chance you are still a little shy, perhaps f earful of what others may think of you, you may not be ready j ust yet. Give it time. Your true identity will come forth; there is no denying GEEKNESS. After all, CSUSM is an institution of diversity is it not? GO GEEKS! If you feel you may be a GEEK but are afraid to come out, please feel f ree to contact the Geek email hotline at scootergeek@yahoo.com. May the GEEKS be with you. RAD Continued From pg. 4 instructor for one year. One reason Barb primarily chose to take the classes was the rise in the occurrence of rape in her city, Escondido. After taking the class, she was impressed by the number of defense options she had learned. "It's nice to know y ou're doing something for yourself," Barb said. There are also two separate RAD classes for children ages 5-7 and ages 8-10. This class has been present in CSUSM f or two years. In the RAD Class for Kids the children learn how to prevent accidents around the house, how to react to strangers, bike-helmet safety, firesafety, and a collection of other useful lessons for children. Children will learn physical defense techniques like soccer kicks, shin kicks, and eye-pokes. RAD for Kids also contains a simulation during the last class, however it is much more simple than the adult class. For example the scenario might end with the child running f rom the scene, picking up the phone and calling f or help. The RAD Classes for Kids take place on Saturdays, October 16, 23, and 30 f rom 1:00pm - 4:00pm each day at the VPA Annex. The children's training book is $15, the adult training book is $20, and parking is $3.

This album has quickly become a well-played addition to my collection with its mix of alternative, folk and punk. With hints of N o Doubt, Madonna and countless others, this album has a little of everything f or everyone. With B iff's ability to sound punk and somehow sweet at the same time, it is difficult not to fall in love with her seductive voice. The lyrics are well written, but not quite up to the standards of other female writers such as Ani DiFranco and Tori Amos. The newest film f rom German director Katja von Gamier starring Jutta H offmann (Marie), Nicolette Krebitz (Angel), Jasmine Tabatabai (Luna) and Katja Riemann (Emma), Bandits shook box o ffice records throughout Europe. The combination prison break, road movie, and action-adventure set to a soundtrack that is the highest selling soundtrack of any European film to date, is sure to draw crowds in America as well. A combination of A Hard Day's Night meets Thelma and Lousie, the f ilm's soundtrack is its driving force, and i s made up primarily of songs by Tabatabai and Krebitz, two of the films multitalented performers. The filmmakers had initially commissioned additional compositions f rom outside writers and musicians, but the commissioned works lacked the depth and feeling of the music of Tabatabai and Krebitz: "Beyond the first three songs, I had not intended on using other songs of theirs," confessed von Gamier. "But the outside music did not share the feeling of the project. They (Krebitz and Tabatabai) were so musically creative at that time, and being on the film nearly from the beginning, their soul f or the film came out in their music." The f ilm's story line of a female prison rock band that has escaped and is on the run is both engaging and lighthearted. Yet the f ilm's ability to evoke a range of responses f rom the audience, f rom laughter to apprehension, marks it as something more than the standard action movie. The f our characters and their flight f or freedom along the Autobahn, while being chased by both the police and throngs of newfound fans, quickly involves the viewer in their plight. The cinematography of the film is as artful as its soundtrack; it makes use of the b eautiful scenery along the Autobahn, and uses some nice angles and filters throughout. All in all, I found the film and the soundtrack both engaging and enjoyable. Though each song has a familiar sound, Biff Naked has created her very own style which pours f rom her soul. The bottom line is that if you like No Doubt, Madonna, and Blink 182, check out Biff Naked's / Bificus. P HOTO Cont. pg. 3 Series f or Fall 1999, the exhibit opened on Wednesday, October 6, at 3:00 pm with a warm reception in the library courtyard of CSUSM. The courtyard was abuzz with the arrival of the renowned artist. Fashionably late, Mr. Aleman arrived to greet eager students, faculty and staff with grace and an unassuming nature. Working closely with Cesar Chavez f or ten years, (1980-1990) Aleman was fortunate to capture many personal and unique photographs of the contemporary folk hero. Much of A leman's work embodies intimate settings of Cesar Chavez with family and friends. Other, more political settings portray Chavez as the activist of the people. Numerous celebrities are noticed throughout the collection of photographs. Martin Sheen, Lou Diamond Phillips, Edward James Olmos and Mile Farrell are j ust some of the luminaries shown in alliance and support of Chavez' cause, and contribution to the labor movement. Victor Aleman has been awarded many honors f or his work documenting the human condition. He is currently the editor of Vida Nueva, a Spanish weekly in Los Angeles. Other projects include two books in production, one of Cesar CMvez and the other a photo documentary of the conditions in El Salvador since 1970. Victor Aleman's exhibit will run through November 30 at the CSUSM library. Cynthia C.

Their hair may be gray or tastefully tinted. They have permanently etched laugh lines around their insightful eyes. While their spirits are young, their physical bodies are not, so they climb the stairs in a leisurely manner. They never miss class and are always on time. Most of them do not feel the need to dress in the latest fashions and so they dress comfortably and conservatively. Who are these people? They are the senior citizen students at CSUSM who range in age f rom sixty to eighty-one. The average age of a typical CSUSM student is twenty-eight years old out of a total enrollment of over five thousand. There are twenty-four women and fifteen men enrolled this f all semester. There are two eightyone year old freshmen and nine who are working on post-baccalaureate degrees. There are nine others who will receive bachelor's degrees in Visual and Performing Arts, History, LTWR, Sociology, and Women's Studies during the Fall, 1999/Spring, 2000 semesters.On May 27, 2000, they will "walk" across the stage and be handed a "sheepskin" in f ront of their proud, cheering f amilies and friends.

Most of them did all these things while providing a home life at the same time. For all students, whether ' fresh out of high school' or re-entering college, there are the usual fears. "Will I be accepted by my peers? Will they laugh at m e or think I 'm dumb when I ask a lot of questions? Can I handle the workload that i s expected of me? Am I too young or too old? Will my disablement prevent me f rom keeping up with the rest of the class?" While these are universal worries, f or senior citizens they are more pronounced.

Former furniture store owners JoAn and Richard McMahan donated $2.3 million to CSUSM to build a 3,800-square-foot meeting and conference center. The facility will be located, on the knoll overlooking the campus entrance with the track field just below the site. The Planning, Design & Construction department is currently seeking to hire an architectural firm. While no official date has been set to begin construction, the planning stages for the facility have already begun. "Our intent is to only use the donation money to build and equip the building," said Russell Decker, director of Planning, Design & Construction. Decker estimates that no public CSUSM funds will be needed for the project. The donation is expected to cover all costs of construction, labor, and the facility's resources. The McMahan House will-be furnished with a commercial kitchen capable of hosting banquets and providing dining services for luncheons or meetings, as well as being equipped with the necessary audio-visual technology to aid in presentations, lectures, and conferences. The facility will also have a functional manager's office and will "likely be a source of student employment," according to Decker. A planning committee team will be developed to provide input on construction and help with the functionality of the McMahan House. The committee has yet to formed, but is not limited to professional staff. Students are welcome to join the planning committee team to help oversee the transformation of this dirt hill into a much needed service. VOL.

Tables will be cleared to create a dance floor in the restaurant with a live DJ available for requests to keep people dancing all night long. A second dance floor will also be held on the patio. Appetizers and refreshments will be provided. Alcoholic drinks will be available through a cash bar and wristbands will be given to those over 21 years of age. Security will be at the event checking IDs and tickets at the door. Tickets are free to CSUSM students and $15 for pre-paid guests or $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at the ASI ticket window in Commons 207. Limited parking is available in the Hard Rock Café underground parking garage for $2 a car, located on the south end of the restaurant. There is also ample street parking near the Hard Rock Café. The hotel across the street from La Jolla Hard Rock Café, Inn by the Sea, has special room rates available to CSUSM students.

"It doesn't have to be an overwhelming process. In as little as 10 days you can put together an amazing scholarship campaign" said Kaplan. Prospective and current college students can dread the scholarship process due to the length of time often associated with searching for, writing, and all the other aspects of applying for them. Kaplan "Receives a letter or an email every week" from students that have read the book and obtained scholarships. Kaplan said that a student recently wrote in and informed him about "$40,000 in scholarships" obtained. California Student Opportunity and Access Program (CalSOAP) brought Kaplan to host a seminar about scholarships and financial aid. The main staples of the seminar were that: if you have a need forfinancialaid for college and you meet the criteria, you can get it; if you want money for college and meet academic criteria, you can get it; and getting the money for college doesn't have to be a long tedious process.

BY JA30NIIQPBS Pride Staff Writer EGG DONORS ; Cal State San Marcos has two new students this semester displaced from Hurricane Katrina. Deondra Hagan braved the storm in Louisiana and moved to Fallbrook with her aunt after the storm damaged her house. Deondra never expected that the hurricane would do so much damage. Her family has lived through storms nearly every year. She went on to explain that the damage was mostly from wind. "We've never evacuated for a hurricane." "It got bad around 3 a.m., the wind was blowing and trees were snapping," said Deondra. She described how the wind tore off the shingles of her house. "I have nothing to complain ¿bout, some people have nothing," said Deondra, "material things come and go, we're glad we are all here and alive." An Executive MBA student from the University of New Orleans, Deondra started Cal State San Marcos' MBApro. gram this semester. Deondra left New Orleans with her two brothers, sister and her grandmother. They are staying at her aunt's house in Bonsai, CA. Her father stayed behind to help repair their and other homes. "I 4ove California," said Deondra. She does not plan to return to Ne\V Orleans and wants to finish her degree at CSUSM. Deondra explained how she had to enroll over email since she did not have transportation to school and back. She went on to say that Cal State San Marcos has been "great" and "a lot of people are working with me." Future goals for Deondra include law school and a career as a sports attorney. "I want to have my own business in sports." An avid sports fan, Deondra played basketball for her previous college. Speaker enlightens students about free education C LASSIFIEDS ; BY PATRICK B.

I knew that her experience on campus would be different than mine, so I decided to chat with her and hear some of her stories. Juliet grew up in Santa Monica Beach as the oldest of four in a family of two parents, two sisters and a brother. She went to Santa Monica High School before moving to San Diego, and went to UCSD before coming here to CSUSM. One of the reasons she came to CSUSM is because of how accommodating our campus is to the disabled. She said she loves how she can find talking computers, Braille everywhere and a friendly student body. I asked her how one should approach her when they see her on campus and she said she's always open to talk, but that it's extremely important to identify yourself. I also discovered that Juliet loves to surf.. .yes, surf. She also enjoys music, technology, and taking long 12 mile walks with her guide dog Marly, whom she named after the reggae legend Bob Marley. Her major is communications with an emphasis in public affairs. Juliet gradually went blind, due to a condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, about nine years ago, but wasn't completely blind until aboutfiveyears ago. She said the hardest adjustment has been transportation, especially in North County. I turned my attention to Marly, Juliet's beautiful golden retriever, and asked if she's always had Marly to help get around. She told me that she actually used cane travel for five years before getting Marly. I asked her about the qualifications to get a guide dog and learned that after she applied people from the service came out and interviewed her. According to Juliet, it's important to have good cane skills, live an active life style, be in good health and able to handle a dog. Juliet is an advocate for the disabled and is President of the Beach Cities Chapter National Federation for the Blind. As she seemed so comfortable with being blind, I asked her if she had known anyone who was blind before she went blind herself, and surprisingly she hadn't. Juliet told me that she would love to have her eye sight back if she could and told me about a procedure that is still being developed. The doctor implants a computer chip in the retina which takes pictures and sends them to the optic nerve so the brain can process the image. This procedure won't be ready for another five years, and even if she does undergo the procedure successfully, she states playfully that she plans to keep Marly. Until then, Juliet maintains a positive outlook on life, which is most evident when she states "even after you're blind, life is still awesome." trade ^mddyow rejmdk^ \ ; 7 v<v 4 "No*Bachste^geóf life is essential for fiMHirtg 0 p r o p e r cycle, / |pigres^^^^ffure' generations" / ¡$i .; I s >( Senior \ - I, > " . . .f^ji % '4 f ' < S lifffp ^ GIob^tAysiness l j l ^ D r • < S ; . ; fep^QBSfl J ohn-Paul Dal Wife.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos' German club hosted the celebratory event, "Oktoberfest", last Thursday in the Library courtyard. Offering f ree root beer, bratwurst, and the chance to revel in German culture, they invited the campus to enjoy all the trimmings of a festival still celebrated yearly in parts of Germany. Even before Oktoberfest's scheduled opening at noon, at least 20 students were standing in line, awaiting the traditional German foods. Following the event, I asked German Club Vice President, Jean Scheuneman, what she thought around the Oktoberfest cultural event both as a local and as an international event. FEATURESJ r £ / / \ l UJVjL/ "In Germany, it [Oktoberfest] has stuck pretty close t o its original roots. Here in the US, Americans might view it as another excuse to go out and drink, but that is not what Oktoberfest is all about. It is a part of German history." According to Scheuneman Oktoberfest originated after the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxony. "You could say that it originated from a very long wedding reception that lasted for 5 days. On the last day there were horse races and it officially ended the festival. The decision to repeat the races basically gave birth to Oktoberfest." CSUSM didn't have the horse races. "Everyone seemed to enjoy what we had going on.

Although this is only the second annual CSUSM hosting of the event, Scheuneman reported that this year "was very successful, even though I had to stand under the hot sun with my costume on. But it was worth it.. .a little over a hundred people showed up...another club officer, Virginia Young, dressed up in traditional Oktoberfest attire...I think it attracted more people over then I had expected." As the German Club provided the bratwurst, ASI helped provided the root beer, among other things. "Diana Wong from ASI created the 'are you a wiener?' toss game and trophies.

In a h elpful exchange with Ms. Wong, she echoed many of the German Club's fond memories. "We had German dancers Bill and Erma Fassel showcase the event. Bill p erformed with his accordion ^and sang authentic G erman songs which Erma sang and danced. The contest "Sausage Toss" was where 10 contestants were randomly picked and given two chances to toss a polish sausage on top of a (root beer) keg that was about 3 -4 yards away. Whoever got them on top of the keg won great p rizes...It was a great game that the participants loved." Scheuneman encourages everyone to attend next year's Oktoberfest, adding that "since Oktoberfest is fairly brand new to San Marcos we can expect it to grow and become an even bigger event next year.** .¿E3B3 MODELS NOW OPEN Ü 11 SAH MARCOS AFFORDABLE, A miNABLE, REMARKABLE; Those are just a few of the words used to describe Carriage Walk.

' $ t f j | | $17.0Q per hour ; Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride The artwork of Malaquias Montoya displayed in the Kellogg Library. will remain on display through the fall 2005 semester. In his artist's statement he explains that, "As a Chicano artist I feel a responsibility that all my art should be a reflection of my political beliefs, an art of protest." Montoya's art portrays international struggles within a community, and can be said to give a better understanding of the world we live in, that we are not an isolated culture that failed, but that we have a common antagonist that makes it necessary for us to unite. Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and raised in San Joaquin Valley, California, Montoya grew up in a family of seven children with parents who could not read or write Spanish or English. Since 1968, Montoya has lectured and taught at numerous universi- ties and colleges, including Stanford and the UC Berkeley. He was a professor at the California College for the Arts and Crafts for 12 years, 5 of which he was the Chair of Ethnic Studies department. Montoya has been a Professor at the University of California, Davis since 1989. His classes, through the departments of Chicana/o Studies and Art, include silkscreening, poster making, mural painting, and focus on Chicano culture and history. Montoya's works with acrylic paintings, murals, washes, and drawings, but he is primarily known for his silkscreen prints, exhibited both nationally and« internationally. Also in his artist statement, Montoya explains that "This form allows me to awaken consciousness, to reveal reality and to actively work to transform it. What better function for art at this time? A voice for the voiceless." Being born into a silent and voiceless humanity formed Montoya's personal views on art and society. Realizing later that it was not by choice that we remained mute but by conscious effort on the part of those in power, he realized that his art could only be of protest-a protest against what he felt to be a death sentence. Three prominent themes that run through Montoya's art are injustice, empowerment, and international struggle. The Context Library Series wants students to be exposed to new ways of understanding and experiencing the world, engaging them and allowing them a venue to contribute to academia as young scholars.

I spent most of my days playing pool and video games with my friends. I knew that I was soon going to grow up to be a sports journalist, so I made the most ofjust being a kid. However, the times are changing. The biggest concern on 16year old Michelle Wie's mind is if she can make a par-4. The 16-year old amateur officially became a professional golfer last week when she signed multi-million dollar endorsement deals with Nike and Sony which will earn her over $10 million dollars annually. My Uncle always told me that everyone makes the exact amount of money they deserve in this world for their abilities. I tend to agree with that and I am all for getting as much money as you can, but this girl has not won a single tournament in the LPGA and she is already going to be making more money than the veterans on tour. The $10 million that she will be making annually makes it hard for me to feel sorry for her, but I kind of do. Wie should be a sophomore in high school enjoying this time that she will never get back. I mean some of my greatest memories in life were from the age of 13-17 when I was in high school. She will never get that opportunity to create childhood memories. I believe Tiger Woods put it best when he said at 16-years old he was only concerned about what colleges he was going to apply to. Woods, perhaps the greatest golfer to ever swing a club, has a valid point. Wie needs to grow up and develop her game much like Woods who went to Stanford after high school. People may think I am a hypocrite because I siipport the right of seniors in high school to enter the MLB and NBA drafts. However, I am not a hypocrite because those people are 18-years old when they make that jump. They are allowed to vote and go to war so I see no problem in allowing them to pursue their careers since they are of legal age. I just don't see how the LPGA can morally j ustify letting someone became a professional golfer when she can't even drive the golf cart unless there is an adult with her. I mean I know why the LPGA, Nike, and Sony are behind her. Cai State San Marcos runs strong at UNLV Cross Country Invite Clearly because she is someone that they can market to death, just like the IRL is in marketing heaven right now with Danica Patrick (another person who hasn't wont jack, but because she is attractive, she is a huge draw). Another reason I am not too happy about her declaration of becoming a professional is that she is already taking away press from the great golfers on tour. Wie says she wants to play in the Masters one day. I personally think that would be a shame, because there is literally no way she could win and she would take away so much press from the contenders. You really only have to look at Annika Sorenstám to realize my statement is not sexist. Annika is without a doubt the best Women's golfer in the world and she is even more dominant in her league than Tiger is in his. I was in f ull support of Annika making a run at winning a no-name Men's tournament several months ago. However, she couldn't even make the cut and the average Men's tournament doesn't even compare in difficulty to the Masters. When I turn on Sportscenter I want to see how Annika and Tiger fared in their respective tournaments, not some 16-year old girl who hasn't won anything. Just let her be a child like the rest of us were allowed to be.

The voice of Michelle Nolan introduces the band's album, singing of discontentment in the present moment. The vocals echo eerily, suggesting an unhappiness that is unbearable but hard to pinpoint. The second track, titled 'It Never Gets Easier' provides an explanation to the intro, speaking of a shallow romance based on coffee shop meetings and small talk. John Nolan states, "But a strong distaste for confrontation leaves no room for self expression." This phrase is easy to relate with. Holding back honesty in fear of causing offense often occurs in relationships. The most intelligent aspect of the track is Nolan's breaking apart of the word 'sentences' into distinct syllables as he sings, "The syllables . .. just aren't sen - ten - ces." Through this he highlights the lack of communication in the relationship. Track three's 'Later that Year' shifts the album's focus from unfulfilling love to the broken promises of war. It starts off with what sounds like snoring surrounded by an acoustic melody. The melody grows and lyrics speak of bodies BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Images courtesy of Raybeez/Victory Records returned wrapped in flags. Nolan and Nolan then repeat, "We did the math and it wasn't worth it after all" continuously, emphasizing the huge discrepancy between the number of lives lost and the number originally expected. I assume this is geared toward President Bush and the war in Iraq. The following two Straylight Run tracks focus again on the pain of love and then on the pain of war. I sense a major pattern. My favorite line from the latter half of the album is, "Don't you say a word unless you're pretty sure that you want it analyzed." This shows the irony that comes from one person speaking casually without thought and the other taking the words as gospel. It is possible I am overanalyzing Dolan's words myself. But if I am, I'm sure he would be flattered. The final song is a redo of Bob Dylan's 'With God on our Side.' The song is basically seen as a satire on pro-war fundamentalist Christians. It provides a quick history lesson while poking f un at the idea of religious protection. It closes with 'if God's on our side, he'll stop the next war/ This and other remarks would be quite laughable if they weren't so true. I hadn't heard of Straylight Run until recently, but I enjoy their music. Though the new EP lasts less than half an hour, the information within it can keep a person occupied for a lot longer. The stage was set afire at Copley's Symphony Hall on Monday night, Oct. 3, with the musical sounds of Sigur Ros. The Icelandic band has made a return to the U.S. in order to play a small tour. Their performance was unrivaled, with a two hour Image courtesy of Bad Taste Label set on stage, and with each band member playing various instruments, Sigur Ros showed their vast understanding of music, and how to bring the audience to their feet. If you can't understand the lyrics it is reasonable, as the lead singer uses both Icelandic and gibberish in a •made-up language called hopelandic. The language is used as another instrument in their already vast array. It is a beautiful assortment of strong vocal bursts coupled with soft and brilliant spoken parts. As for their show at Copley's, the lighting was phenomenal, as was the acoustics of the building. You could hear every note from every instrument, be it from Jonsi Birgisson wailing on his guitar with a violin bow, or the intricate notes on the keyboard by Kjartan Sevinsson. The show was the best I've ever seen, hands down. Sigur Ros played a good amount of songs from their new album Takk (released 2005). It was the blend of old and new songs that kept the crowd entertained as they explored a newer musical direction, but still returning to their old mixture of strings and slow, intense music. For more information on Sigur Ros or their albums, you can visit them at www.sigur-ros.co.uk.

This is one of his lines while pitching Brandon Lang (Matthew McConaughey) a job offer to his illustrious firm. "We are selling certainty in an uncertain time," Abrams continues. Lang, a former football star with a knee i njury that retired h im, attracts Abrams when he correctly predicts wins for several football games in one weekend. Abrams recruits Lang f rom Las Vegas to j oin him in New York. Lang is then lavished with a new image, money, a sports car, $1000 suits, women and even a new name, which becomes John Anthony. At the top of his game, his winning streak ranges f rom 80 percent to even 100 percent. He becomes " The Million Dollar Man". But as the saying goes, "Everybody's good luck streak has to end sometime." "Two for the Money" reminds me a lot of "Boiler Room," where young men were shaped into hardcore salesmen. They're not selling stock, but are selling themselves, an idea and a dream. Same goes for Abrams and his gambling advising firm. They convince their clients why they should bet on teams through their sales pitch. Abrams and Lang's father/son and mentor/protégée relationship is the second best aspect of the film. Abrams suffers mild heart attacks and his marriage is constantly on the rocks. But for him to mold Lang into a younger version of himself, is in a way, making Lang walk the plank, but Abrams doesn't care. The best aspect of the film is Pacino's performance; it makes this film worth seeing. He grinds up any role and makes it his own, as if the screenwriter was writing it specifically for him. I dare you to name one bad Pacino role, you can't because it doesn't exist. His performance definitely makes the movie.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer On Sept. 29, Professor Mark Wallace read from his book, "The Quarry and the Lot," as the first event of CSUSM's fall 2011 Community and World Literary Series. In a nearly full classroom auditorium, Wallace, an associate professor of Literature and Writing Studies at CSUSM, gave students, faculty and the general public an opportunity to experience a literary reading from the author himself. The event provided the audience with a hybrid presentation that was both personal and professional. A brief introduction, presented by Professor Sandra Doller, explained Wallace received the 2002 Gertrude Stein Poetry Award and authored more than 15 books and chapbooks of poetry, fiction and essays. Also, other countries translated Wallace's writings into several other languages. Following the introduction, Wallace read several short poems from his collection titled "Belief is Impossible." Wallace's poetry proposed ideas and questions that gave the audience something to consider. These considerations came from lines about art, poetry and thought-provoking questions directed at the audience. Wallace then read from "The Quarry and the Lot," published earlier this year. The plot of the ; Brianna Cruz & Ashley Day Pride Staff Writers K imber Q u i n n e y novel follows a group of friends who reunite following the death of a childhood friend. Wallace wrote the novel using four voices that alternate between the past and the present. Wallace forewarned the audience he would not be doing voices for his character, with laughter ensuing from the audience. He then advised that when doing a reading, one should not do voices. A narration about childhood experiences, including a reckless bicycle stunt, first introduced the audience to the character Nick. After reading about Nick, Wallace then read several more poems before returning to "The Quarry and the Lot," introducing the audience to another character, Amelia, and her love for the deceased friend, Joseph. Wallace's voice embodied Amelia as she spoke of Joseph romantically and admiringly, seeing him as not just another one of the boys, but as something deeper. From Amelia's perspective, the audience understood Joseph as a tragic, angst- ridden youth trying to escape bleak suburbia. An opportunity for audience members to ask Wallace any questions followed the reading. These questions ranged from different topics including his book, writing style and writing process. Many students voiced what they thought of Wallace's published work. "I had read ["The Quarry and the Lot"] before, so it wjas interesting to see his perspective on the different characters," Liberal Studies major Kelsey Carmichael said. For those who are unfamiliar with a guest speaker's work, the Community and World Literary Series offers audience members a free, intimate experience to listen to and interact with writers as they share their work and give insight into their writing process. The series' next"reading will present Tisa Bryant and Amina Cain on Oct. 27 at CSUSM.

According to the Susan G. Komen website, in 2011, there will be 230,480 new cases of breast cancer in the United States. Donating money to the American Cancer Society helps conduct more research to help find a cure and save millions of lives. This month, CSUSM's Associated Student Inc. (ASI) will hold their annual "Fight for the Cure" in the Library Plaza during UHour on Thursday, Oct. 13. At the event, school organizations such as the Campus Activities Board (CAB), • Health and Wellness center, Women's Center and The Clarke plan to have information tables. "I don't think [students] realize the importance of getting tested as women," Alicia Perry from ASI said. Breast cancer is most common in women, but men can be involved in raising money. In previous years, ASI attempted to put together a Powder Puff game where students pay to play the game and the proceeds went to the American Cancer Society. "We would have an issue trying" to get people to sign up because they wanted their free time to do something else," Perry said. "Our goal is to raise funds for research and to get as many people involved." This year, ASI is trying a new approach to raise money. ASI is getting the men on campus involved in a fun and interesting way called "Hotties in Heels." The event entails a group of young male volunteers dressing up in drag. Participants accept cash and checks payable to American Cancer Society on behalf of breast cancer awareness. If you see a cross dresser walking around campus, be sure to take a picture with him and your friends and give him a tip for dressing up for a great cause. "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" will hold an event in Balboa Park, San Diego, Sunday, Oct. 16. It consists of a three to five mile walk. If students are interested, attend "Fight for the Cure" and visit the CAB table to sign-up and learn more information regarding organizing or joining a team. For people who live in Temecula, Susan G. Komen Inland Empire will hold their "Race for the Cure" on Sunday, Oct. 16. The event is located in the Macy's parking lot in the Promenade Mall. Hundreds of local vendors will give away free merchandise and sponsor activities for participants. Last Sunday, Oct. 9, "Barbells for Boobs" took place at CrossFit San Elijo to fundraise for "Mammograms for Action." Zionna Mnouz founded the foundation. Mnouz went to get a mammogram in 2009, but was denied the test because she was twenty-six-years-old. Six months later, Mnouz noticed a lump in her breast had grown larger. She mammograms.

BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Carlsbad provides enough variety to satisfy any palette. BJ's motto, "Discover why it's always Happy Hour at BJ's," proved to be valid not only for its tasty treats, like the spinach artichoke dip appetizer, but also for their award-winning beers. BJ's is more refined than your average dive bar and their menu supports the ambience with a wide variety of items from giant stuffed potatoes to gourmet burgers, pizza and fish and chips. The most creative thing to do is to build your own deep dish pizza using ingredients including bacon, artichokes, jalapeños and sweet corn. Match that unique pizza with a specialty beer ($3.95 during happy hour), most notably the Piranha Pale Ale, BJ's Jeremiah Red and the gold medalist Belgian style wheat beer, to create a meal all your own. BJ's supports craft beer brewing and bjsbrewhouse.com runs a "Brewer Blog." After you've filled up on tasty beer and pizza, direct your eyes to the must try "Pizookie" dessert: your choice of a baked cookie covered with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. The happy hour deals offer $1 off specialty cocktails, $2 off appetizers and certain nights have specials like half off all wine on Tuesday nights or $5 Mojito Mondays. BJ's happy hour runs from 3 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday and 7 - close Sunday - Thursday. BJ's atmosphere is reminiscent of downtown San Diego, with an indoor and outdoor area, invitingly dim light, <>pen space, an expansive bar, stylish decoration and friendly service. It is part of the attractive dining and shopping scene near the Carlsbad Flower Fields, which seems geared toward San Diego tourists but still provides a fun night out for locals looking to hit up the scene of Carlsbad. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse is located on Paseo del Norte in Carlsbad and is open 11 a.m. midnight Monday - Thursday, 11 — 1 a.m. Friday, 10 - 1 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. - midnight Sunday. Inventive professor challenges traditions in entrepreneurial class Pride Staff Writer If you enroll in the College of Business Administration's new Entrepreneurship 320 class, don't expect a lot of traditional coursework from professor Scott Landow. He's teaching his students to become dreamers. The first-time professor at Cal State San Marcos doesn't have a syllabus and his unorthodox grading criteria includes awarding points to students who effectively challenge his ideas, regardless of whether they're right or wrong! Landow says he pushes his student to ask "why not?" because out-of-the-box thinking is the hallmark of all successful entrepreneurs. He should know. Landow is the co-founder and CEO of Solana Beach-based Bridgetech Holdings International, an environment and renewables investment firm. Before that, he was chairman and CEO of Omaha-based Bond Laboratories, where he oversaw the development of new consumer products such as Fusion Premium Energy Gum and the hangover prevention drink Resurrection. Landow said all successful entrepreneurs have four characteristic traits: "(The) ability to listen, ability to feel, ability to envision or see what's not there yet and the ability to sell." To teach his students these traits, Landow's first project this semestèr was to have them form teams to create lemonade stands, the foundation for all young entrepreneurs. In his loose but engaging lecture style, Landow talked to his students about how to name their drink stands. "Understand a lemon," he said. "The first priority to naming a product or business is like naming your first child." And when telling students how to choose partners for their stands, he said, "Go toward people that express the unexpected, not those that give predictable answers you prefer to hear." Students in Entrepreneurship 320 say they appreciate Landow's enthusiasm and the unconventional nature of the class. By the end of the semester, each student will be expected to develop a marketable product or service. While owning a successful business is the goal of most students in the college's Entrepreneurship Track, getting rich isn't necessarily a goal Landow espouses. He said he encourages charitable giving as a way for business owners to expand their sales and do good in the world; "The system doesn't work unless you give back," he said. "Don't overlook the need to give back. You can make better contacts through charity than through business. How thrilling is it to do something for someone else? I can't tell you why, (but) it's more fulfilling." Do you know a p rofessor who deserves t o b e recognized f or his o r h er o utstanding achievements?

Blaine H. Mogi! Pride Staff Writer In 1960, the California State Department of Education drafted a 230-page., 15-year master plan for the University of California, California State College (later CSU) and community college systems with the goal of saving the state's higher education system from "destruction by unbridled competition." At the time, those heady words referred to the competition between the three upper education systems. But with today's tuition costs rising rapidly at the UC and CSU campuses, the Department of Education should be more concerned about competition from colleges outside the state-supported systems than any internal threat. At a meeting of the UC Regents, Sept. 13-15, in San Francisco, a budget proposed by UC leaders would raise tuition fees by 8 percent to 16 percent for each of the next four years. If this budget is approved, annual tuition for UC students could soar north of $22,000 by fall 2015. With continued annual hikes, students entering the system that year could expect the cost of their diploma to exceed 7.

Take a look at the table above, and the options might just surprise you. With the state university education system on the verge of becoming more expensive than a world-class school such as the University of Cambridge, the value of a state-supported education vanishes.

While the price hikes for CSU students have been widely reported, one statistic that has gone largely unnoticed is an analysis that for every $1 invested by the state in the higher education system, $16 iii revenue is produced for the state, according to Erik Fallis with the CSU Chancellor's office. There isn't an economist alive B eyond t he t extbook M aking t he m ost of y our college y ears Students: let's put on our existential hats for a moment and ask ourselves the big question: why are we here (and by "here," I mean college)? Why are you— one specimen in the several billion carbon-based bits of humanity—on this path of higher education? Don't spout out some canned response about the terrible economy and having "no other choice" but to attend school. The fact is that you are here for you. The sad part about attending college at Cal State San Marcos is the perception of a "commuter campus:" one where every student goes to class, goes home and gets on with his or her life. The next time you're rushing to beat the traffic out of the Markstein parking lot, take a moment and remember that the "college experience" offers more than just a degree with your name on it.

This is a time to discover yourself—your beliefs, your opinions, what makes you happy. This is a time to make connections to friends, professors, and the community to build a network that will carry you into a career or other post-academic goal. We are all hurrying to "get out" on time, but sometimes we just need to take a breath and appreciate what a college campus can offer. So stick around a while after class, if you can spare the time. Get involved. Do something that will feed your soul. Join a club, a team or a group. Nurture a talent arid surprise yourself. Wander into the Cross-Cultural Center, the Women's Center, the LGBTQA Center or the Veteran's Center. Talk to the people who hang out there. Make a friend. Discuss what's going on in your life or in the world. Celebrate our Contributor different opinions, but stay true to yourself. Your professors have office hours for a reason. Don't hesitate to stop in and say hello. They are professionals with advanced degrees, and thiey can help you with questions or concerns you have about your major, graduate school or future career. Talk to them about their own academic journeys; they have years of experience as both students and educators. Building relationships with your professors will come in handy when you require letters of recommendation or are searching for jobs in your field. College is so much more than your class schedule. Don't shy away from the heart of campus. Dig in and find your niche. Branch out and network with people. You came here to learn, so learn more than just academics. Learn about you and experience college your way. who wouldn't make a 16-to-l return on investment a top priority in any budget decision. Unfortunately, politicians make the state budget, not economists. Fallis said the Chancellor's office has little, if any, political capital to lobby the state for money because it's required by its charter to remain neutral. Although thè office sympathizes with students who are overburdened by tuition costs, the most it can do is make budget recommendations and hope for the best. * 4.

A little more p arking for a "little" more money Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer If you are a student at CSUSM, you're probably a commuter. Therefore, you understand what it's like paying for parking passes. If you live on campus and own a vehicle, I 'm sure you understand what it feels like to pay for a parking pass (as well as overpriced rent and groceries), so it would be nice to have a parking spot close to the dorms. Yet you still find yourself racing through the dorms trying to beat someone to the only available parking spot. This year, CSUSM welcomed its new and returning students to use the new parking structure; that addition has definitely made an impact for those who may háve to walk back and forth to campus and their car. Now that I am a commuter, the parking garage is as full as I 've ever seen. I typically arrive to school around 9 a.m., and by then, floors one through three are completely packed, four is mainly empty and the congestion begins again on floors five and six. I am greatful for the structure but I will admit, driving to the sixth floor can be such a bother. I interviewed student Cynthia Pérez and she shared her thoughts on the new structure. I wholeheartedly agreed with Perez when she said, "[The parking structure] is pretty good because it is great to have such an easy access to parking as opposed to having to struggle to find some when you're rushing to class." As someone who is late almost every single day, I believe the new parking structure is a blessing—that is, if you're able to find parking. Though the new structure is both convenient and accessible, being a student and paying the prices to park in such a convenient structure has its downfalls. Perez continued,"The prices are incredibly hurtful to anyone's wallet. It seems like a huge convenience fee." This year, an academic year parking pass which is valuable for both fall 2011 and spring 2012 costs $643 (currently sold out). If you want to buy your pass for each semester, they are $338 separately. If you wanted to save a little cash for each semester, you could always chose to pay for the X, Y, and Z parking pass for the semester which will only run you $254. If you really want to save ~ some dough and you are commuting on a motorcycle, congratulations. Your parking pass will only run you $70 per semester. If you decide that it would be easier to buy daily passes, the rates are $9 for all day, $7 for five hours, $6 for 3 hours and $3 for one hour. Let's face it; who has this kind of money laying around?

Since then, the set has shattered Blu-ray sales records. According to MSNBC.com; Star Wars: The Complete Saga has earned over $84 million worldwide in one week on Blu-ray. Though sales are strong, the set is polarizing fans over the constant changes made with every release of the "Star Wars" movies. Some of the changes in this release include new dialogue added to the final Darth Vader scene in "Return of the Jedi," computer-generated eyelids added to the Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi" and new dialogue added to Obi-Wan in "A New Hope." Perhaps some welcome the changes and regard them as a new feature to enhance the experience. However, I cannot speak for this group of people. I belong to the vast majority of fans who love and enjoy the theatrical releases of the films. The average customer review for "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" is currently 2.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com. Skimming through over one thousand "onestar" reviews, the general consensus of the fans appears to be an overwhelmingly negative reaction to the alterations of the films. Like many fans before me, I am no stranger to the Star Wars editing controversy. Since the days of "Han shot first," fans have slowly lost faith in their beloved saga. What disappoints me most is the unfortunate reality that we as fans have no voice in the future of "Star Wars." How many years must we wait until Lucas will provide us with theatrical cuts in high definition? As a die-hard fan, I don't want to have a new, updated experience with my favorite sci-fi saga every five years. I want to remember the series for what it was, not what it has become. There is no doubt that I would purchase "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" had the set come with both the theatrical cuts and the 2011 Blu-ray edits. Though the set would cost more, I would pay (almost) any price to see the original classic films restored to visual perfection. While the Blu-ray releases may have a wealth of bonus features and documentaries, I will not purchase the set due to all the changes. Many of us fans will continue to wait for the theatrical cuts, however long they may take. If growing up with "Star Wars" taught us anything, there will always be a new hope... for a little fan service. I am not ashamed to say that I love TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras" even though People Magazine and CNN say I should be. Here in California, child beauty pageants are few and far between. But in the southern U.S., pageants take over hotel conference rooms nearly every weekend showcasing children as young as three months. Many publications recently printed less than comprehensive coverage of the hit show after a 3-year-old dressed as Julia Roberts's character in the movie "Pretty Woman." You'd be correct in recalling that Roberts's character is a prostitute. Similar costuming includes a 4-year-old dressed as Dolly Parton (complete with disproportionate chest enhancement) and a 2-year-old dressed as Madonna. I will concede to the argument that beauty pageants for children are not age appropriate in any sense. Considering that the infant categories in many beauty pageants require nothing more than a $2,000 dress and a doting parent to parade the often drooling, crying or sleeping, baby across a stage, there is little support for the case that the parent is doing the pageant because the child wants to. This is the cardinal problem with children in beauty pageants: crazy, scary moms want to be on stage, so they live vicariously through their daughters (and sometimes sons). Actually, apart from the whole age appropriateness ordeal (and the obscene amounts of money people spend),.that's pretty much the only real issue with beauty pageants. When a kid lacks his or her own . agency to decide to go onstage, then you've got a problem. However, MaKenzie Myers of Montgomery, LA has more gumption than most politicians do when it's time comes to grace the pageant stage (YouTube her and you'll see what I mean). With catch phrases that include " I'm not doing what you tell me," "Well, where's my drink?" and "Put me down so I can go get back in line," I 'm surprised TLC hasn't tried to capitalize on some line of MaKenzie dolls spouting any number of her hilarious lines. I guess, if you really wanted to, you could say this ball of energy is just a bratty little girl with a lenient mother. And, I guess, you could say this promotes bad behavior, poor self image development, etcetera, etcetera. However, the portrayal of these children is meant to shock viewers and leave them, mouths agape, waiting for the next week's installment. I feel I should also mention that TLC has hired the best TV editing team that ever existed; they truly make the show far more entertaining than it should be. Shame on CNN for trying to make me feel bad. Sure, I wouldn't recommend the many CSUSM students with young children to watch "Toddlers & Tiaras" to brush up on their parenting skills. However, just entertainment. CNN: pick on somebody your own size.

For those who have yet to become addicted to "The Office," the scripted but much improvised show highlighted the many talents of actors such as Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski. The return of the sitcom beginning their eighth season Thursday, Sept. 22 gave us the hope that the show can be equally as controversial and delightful with the absence of Michael Scott. It wasn't easy knowing that Michael Scott would no longer walk into the Dunder Mifflin-Sabre Scranton branch, but the season opened with a hilarious story line: planking . While some in the office awkwardly planked in inappropriate places (some expected, as Meredith was caught planking under the urinals in the men's restroom), we braced ourselves for the surprise of new management. We learn in the beginning of the opening episode that Robert California (James Spader) talked Jo (Kathy Bates), the CEO of Dunder Mifflin out of her very own job but returned to work out of the meeting room. Pam (Jenna Fischer) was especially sensitive due to the fact that she and husband, Jim (John Krasinski) are expecting their second child, a son, as well as Angela (Angela) expecting her first child with her husband, the senator (whom we were led to believe was gay). The biggest surprise of the new season was finding out that Andrew Bernard (Ed Helms) was named branch manager by Robert. Regardless if anyone agrees whether he can successfully run a branch, we can all agree that he truly cares about the office and his heart is in the right place. Personally, I was confused why he would be named manager, since I figured the producers were planning to go in a different direction as far as personality. We both know that Michael Scott and Andy Bernard are both known to cause mishap around the office. Last week's episode was one that would bring a smile to anyone's face—fan or not. As Andy handled the "manager expectations" nervously, not wanting to upset anyone or coming off as' too strict but also wanting work to get done, he and very disinterested Darryl tried to hire a new team of warehouse workers to take oyer since the old ones quit after winning the lottery. Since Phyllis has a very important order to be filled by that night, Erin, Jim, Dwight and Kevin tried desperately to figure out how to load the reams of paper into the delivery truck through trial and error, though many ended in error. However, they finally ended with the process they named "Senor Loadenstein" because it was "muy rapido." The buzz around the office consisted of the question "what would you do if you won the lottery?" As always, Jim and Pam (affectionately known as PB&J) stole our hearts with an argument of how they would spend their "fantasy" life after winning the lottery. Andy surprised us all when he took charge in getting Darryl back into the mood of actually working. Though I am accustomed to the mayhem Michael Scott always seems to find himself in, I am excited for the future of "The Office" and Dunder Mifflin-Sabre and I am curious to see how Andy will hopefully prove my expectation of failing wrong. If you weren't able to catch it, you can always watch it the day after airing on http://wwwiiulu.com. "The Office" airs on NBC every Thursday at 9 p.m. The third season of "Glee" premiered Tuesday, Sept. 20. It introduced a new array of songs a nd displayed the casts' many skills in classic rock anthems, musical numbers a nd even hip-hop a nd pop arrangements. The new season featured songs such as "We Got the Beat" originally by The Go-Go's a nd "You C an't Stop the Beat" from the Broadway musical "Hairspray." In honor of the new season, I have created my own playlist of the top "Glee" songs performed in previous seasons. I'll spare the readers by not mentioning the cast's Journey cover, "Don't Stop Believing." In the first season, Kristen Chenoweth's character April Rhodes performed the song "Maybe This Time" alongside William McKinley's Rachel Berry, played by L ea Michele. t he song is from the musical "Cabaret," I do not follow musicals, but really enjoyed this song a nd Broadway Star C henoweth was impeccable in her v ocal range. Characters Puck (Mark Sailing) a nd Quinn (Diana Agron) realized they were going to have a baby, but couldn't choose her name. Puck sang "Beth" originally by '80s b and KISS. The heart-warming ballad was touching, especially for a character with such e dge. The background vocalists offered support physically a nd musically. Will Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, performed the final song of season one, "Over the Rainbow" with Puck playing the ukulele beside him. This song was the perfect ending for season one because it is such a classic, put a tear in my eyes a nd kept the audience on the e dge of our seats for season two. Season two's Britney Spears themed episode skyrocketed "dumb blonde" cheerleader, Brittany S. Pierce (Heather Morris) to a viewer beloved character. Brittany exposed her amazing dancing talents. The song she sung a nd d anced to, "I'm a Slave 4 U" a nd other popular Britney hits, shocked the audience a nd made Brittany an instant favorite member of the "Glee" cast. Season two also introduced viewers to the character Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) created a buzz around "Glee's" William McKinley High a nd for Gleeks everywhere. Saying goodbye to boyfriend Kurt (Chris Colfer), Blaine a nd competitor glee club, the Warblers, performed the song "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. This song melted viewer's hearts because it musically intensified the love between Blaine a nd Kurt. &NOW Literary Festival c omes to San Diego different panels, performances professors who will also act as and installations over the course panelists.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer It should come as no surprise that Benjamin Mee's appropriately-titled memoir "We Bought a Zoo" is about a family who, well, buys a zoo. In his novel, Mee documents his experiences during the restoration of his zoo leading up until the opening day. In the midst of this overwhelming yet exciting process, tragedy strikes when Mee's wife dies. Instead of putting life and the zoo on hold, Mee uses the onset of opening day as a productive distraction from his loss. Mee's accounts of this time in his life are heartwarming and sweet and, at times, devastating. The balance between moments of tragedy and frustration are carefully balanced with humorous or even tense interactions between the humans and the animals. However, Mee's storytelling is sometimes difficult to progress through due to the minimal dialogue in the. text. His story often feels as if you are listening to someone recount a series of incidents while often withholding any conversations that may have taken place during the events. With the story being told from Mee's point of view, his illustration of himself is wonderfully humbling.

Haunted Trail, Haunted Hotel and The Scream Zone are three of San Diego's well-known places that are sure to make your blood run cold. These events are annual running from as early as late September all the way until Halloween night. San Diego's Haunted Trail has guests take an eerie nighttime trail trek with shocking surprises awaiting daring visitors. Trail officials emphasize that the trail is not for children under 10, and they do not recommended it for those who are prone to seizures or have heart problems due to the use of strobe lights and intense scares. The Haunted Trail opened back in September, and will remain open Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 19 - 31. On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the trail is open from 7 - 1 1 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays, the trail is open from 6:30 -11:45 p.m. and this time will also apply on Halloween night. General admission prices are $15 on Sundays through Thursdays and $17 on Fridays and Saturdays. The Haunted Hotel is the San Diego Halloween haunted house attraction that has been around the longest and therefore has built notoriety. The attraction takes its guests down a "Hellevator" below the hotel and into terrifying themed rooms with zombies, ghouls and even Freddy Krueger himself. This attraction is open Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 1 9 - 3 1 . On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the hotel is open from 7 - 1 1 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays the times are 6 p.m. - 1 a.m. and on Halloween night the hotel is open from 6 p.m. - midnight. Due to special effects and scares, the Haunted Hotel is not recommended for those who are prone to seizures or have heart problems. For more information such as an in-depth FAQ of the three San Diego Halloween attractions and various ticket price options, see www.hauntedhotel. coin (from this site there are links redirecting to the specific pages for the Haunted Trails, Haunted Hotel and Scream Zone). The Scream Zone, held at the Del Mar Scaregrounds, opened on Sept. 30 and will remain open to guests eager for scares Oct. 13 - 16 Thursdays through Sundays and Oct. 2 0 - 3 1 each night. The Scream Zone times are Fridays and Saturdays 7 p.m. - midnight and 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. on the other opening days. The. three attractions are the Haunted Hayride, The House of Horror and The Chamber. The Haunted Hayride takes guests on a haywagon ride beyond the Del Mar Race Track and up close and personal with various ghouls and creatures. The House of Horror has visitors venturing through a house with themed rooms and a terrifying twist ending (this attraction is not recommended for children under 10). Finally, The Chamber takes guests into a labyrinth of frightening proportions featuring what the Scream Zone's website states is "the largest 'spinning tunnel' in San Diego." Prices depend upon the patron's choice of haunt (or haunts, if you dare). The triple haunt (which includes all three attractions) is $27.99. A double haunt includes the Chamber and the House of Horror or the Haunted Hayride and costs $18.99. A single haunt consisting either of the House of Horror or the Haunted Hayride is $14.99. There are also group sales and military discounts available for visitors. For more info on the prices and directions, visit www. thescreamzone .com.

X II NO. 7 EIC to close Draft legislation alive in senate without passage of referendum Childcare services to end without new f unds BY TIFFANY LIU Pride Staff Writer Childcare services on campus will end a fter this semester unless students approve additional funding. Since 1998, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) has owned and operated the Early Learning Center (ELC) which provides low cost childcare services for students, faculty, and staff. Due to ASI experiencing significant budget cuts these f unds will no longer be available. If no new f unding source i s acquired, childcare services at CSUSM will have to b e discontinued until December 2007 when the Center for Children and Families is expected to open. "These students would have to drop out of school if i t wasn't for this place," said Mosetta Rodrigues-Coppedge in reference to students who have children in the ELC. Currently, 48 students have children enrolled at the Early Learning Center; 35 students utilize the center f ull time and 13 use it part time. The ELC's curriculum provides an instruction that enables children to build self-esteem, learn acceptable methods of cooperation and become competent individuals within a group setting. There are 6 schedules to choose from for the f ull time program which consists of 8-9 hour days and 3 schedules to choose from for the part time program which consists of 4 hour days. Registration for children costs $23 for students, and $30 for faculty and staff per semester. In addition tuition costs at the ELC are $23 full-time and $16 part-time per day for students and $30 full-time and $20.00 part-time per day for faculty and staff. In addition to providing childcare, the ELC provides the campus with internships, employment opportunities, as well as a source for course projects and child observation. In an attempt raise the f unds needed to support the ELC a Childcare Fee Referendum has been called. Voting for the referendum will be conducted at http://lynx. csusm.edu/vote/from October 18-21. According to ELC projections 92 percent of f unds next spring will come f rom child registration and tuition fees, five percent of f unds will come f rom fundraising and grants, and three percent will c ome from the childcare fee if it is approved. If the fee is not approved the ELC will close. If the Childcare Services Fee passes, See ELC, page 4 Photo by SSgt. Cheryl A.

Despite assurances from lawmakers as well as both presidential candidates, the bill to reinstate the draft is before the Senate Committee on Armed Services BY CHEZ ARE MILO Pride Staff Writer Despite the recent defeat of d raft legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, d raft legislation remains under consideration in the Senate. The latest version of United States Senate Bill 89, titled the Universal National Service Act of 2003, calls for a mandatory selective service requirement of two years for men and women between the ages of 18-26. The bill in its most recent form offers no deferment for college students and makes it mandatory for wome n to sign up for the draft. S. 89 is currently under review in the Senate Committee on Armed Services. According to one provision in the bill, "based upon the needs of the uniformed services, the President shall determine the number of persons" who shall b e called to serve.

At the end of trial period, Associated Students Inc. will decide whether or not to continue the service, which will cost $2,000 per month, or choose to have pay racks, like the North County Times, and have the students pay for each paper.

Photos by Jason Encabo / The Pride Voter registration forms are available in English and in Spanish. If you are already registered to vote in California, it is only necessary to re-register to vote if you move, change your name, or wish to change your party affiliation. Some people don't register to vote under the pretense that they will not be called for j ury duty, but this is not true. The list of registered voters is shared with the court system; however indi- viduals are already in the pool of people to be called for j ury duty if they have a driver's license or state-issued identification card. On Election Day a picture ID is required for first time voters who registered by mail. If you plan to vote through an absentee ballot, the option is provided on voter registration forms. The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot is October 2 6,2004.

Tickets are sold out, protestors are rallying, and controversy is stirring. By the time tickets became available to the public on the morning of October 7, there were 2,500 tickets to sell out of the total 10,000 tickets originally available. Tickets sold out on October 8. Penelope Young Andrade, a Rancho Penasquitos resident, feels that the decision to postpone ticket sales to the public was not executed as well as it could have been.

In terms of getting more community turnout, it would have been better if it weren't postponed, or if it were made a little easier," said Andrade. Many of the community members who came to buy tickets were not upset by the postponement of ticket sales. "It's originally supposed to be for students, so it's understandable," said Heidi Pierce, a resident of Imperial Beach. ASI publicized the postponement of ticket sales by sending emails to CSUSM staff, posting it on their website, and providing a hotline for up-to-date information. The CSUSM College Republicans, other local college republicans, as well as many students and community members are planning to protest at the event.

In order for S. 89 to become law, it would have to pass in the Senate as well as the House of Representatives. The nearly identical house version of the bill, HR 163, was unexpectedly brought to a vote on October 5. Republican Congressman John M. McHugh of New York motioned to bring the bill to a vote early by placing the legislation on the Suspension Calendar. "Now some may say today that this legislation is really about the need to establish a system of national service— And I would say—that is a legitimate topic of discussion. But the clear objective of this bill—and the undeniable intent of recent claims of secret plans and post election plots is focused on a return of the draft—forced military conscription," said McHugh before the house. "The administration clearly, the Department o f Defense clearly, and I suspect that at the end of this vote it will be shown the House of Representatives clearly rejects the fact, either before an election, at election or a fter election, that there is a need, there is a rationale, for returning to mandatory conscription by the United States military." said McHugh prior to Tuesday's vote. The vote was 402 - 2 against the bill. Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel of New York, the original sponsor of HR 163, was unhappy with the rush to vote. "The Republican leadership decision to place the d raft legislation on the Suspension Calen- Photo by Staff Sergeant Jonathon Agee / courtesy of the United States Marine Core Brothers, Parke and Jared Stearns recite the Oath of Enlistment at a Military Entrance and Processing Station for Recruiting Station Springfield, MA. dar (bring the bill to a vote early) is a political maneuver to kill rumors of the President's intention to reinstate the d raft after the November election." said Rangel in a public statement released after the vote. Cosponsor of the bill, Democratic Congressman Pete Stark of California, stated the intent of the legislation upon its introduction to the House of Representatives. "I ardently oppose war with Iraq....For those who conscientiously object to war; the bill assures that any military service would not include combat. Oth- erwise, there would be no preferences, no deferments, no chance for the well-off or the well-connected to dodge military service for their country, as did our President. " "Reinstituting the d raft may seem unnecessary to some. But, it will ensure all Americans share in the cost and sacrifice of war. Without a universal d raft, this burden weighs disproportionately on the shoulders of the poor, the disadvantaged and minority populations. It is my understanding that out of the 435 Members of this House and the 100 members of the Senate, only o neonly one—has a child in active military service. Who are we to know the pain of war when we ourselves will not directly bear the brunt of that action? It won't be us mourning the loss of a child or loved one. Maybe some of you in this Congress would think twice about voting for war in Iraq if you knew your child may be sent to fight in the streets of Baghdad?" said Stark. Despite the continued consideration of S. 89 in the Senate both presidential candidates have made statements indicating there will be no d raft. "I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft. We're not going to have a draft, period. The all-volunteer Army works. It works particularly when we pay our troops well. It works when we make sure they've got housing, like we have done in the last military budgets.

Our Guard and Reserves have been turned into almost active duty. You've got people doing two and three rotations. You've got stop-loss policies, so people can't get out when they were supposed to.

I know he uses a lot of facts and figures and sometimes he doesn't place everything in the right context, but I'd like to hear what he has to say because he can talk about things in a way that most people can't," said Kim Brown, a CSUSM staff member. Felipe Sanchez, Junior and International Business major said that he told friends who were not sure whether they wanted to see Michael Moore that "it doesn't hurt to go and you don't have to agree with him, just go and see what he wants to talk about. The good thing about it is you can criticize what he says." Know your alcohol Requirement must be fulfilled this week BY KIN SCHLATTER Pride Staff Writer All incoming freshman and transfer students who attended orientation this past summer will be required to take an alcohol prevention program. Students to which the requirement applies must successfully pass the final exam with a grade of 70 percent or better no later than October 15, 2004. Students that fail to complete the requirement will have a hold placed on their registration for spring 2005 classes. In order to satisfy the alcohol education requirement students are required to complete a program called AlcoholEdu, which is on-line education course designed for college students. There are two parts to the AlcoholEdu course that need to be completed to satisfy the requirement. The first part of the course requires completion of a final exam and post-survey. The second part of the course requires the completion of a "course conclusion" which will be emailed to students approximately 30 days after completion of the first part of the course. The "course conclusion" must be submitted by December 7 in order to fulfill the alcohol education requirement. Informing students about the facts and risks of alcohol consumption is the goal of AlcoholEdu. AlcoholEdu was created by Outside the Classroom, an online education company, and is currently being used by over 350 college campuses. The decision to use the AlcoholEdu program came from the university's Substance Abuse Advisory Council. The Substance Abuse Advisory council is a group of faculty, students, staff and members of the local community who work on alcohol prevention for the campus and the city of San Marcos. "The council reviewed several prevention programs that could be delivered to our students and chose Alcohol EDU as the tool for all of our incoming students to use as part of their orientation to our campuses," said Bridget Blanshan director of Student and Residential Life and member of the Substance Abuse Advisory Council. "The course was designed to give students information to assist them into making wise decisions about alcohol use and let students learn their own limits about alcohol consumption." Jonathon Poullard, associate vice president for Student Affairs, also has a seat on the Substance Abuse Advisory Council. "The Alcohol EDU Prevention Program is a broad-base population approach to establishing and reinforcing a norm around consumption," said Poullard. Students that have any questions about meeting the requirement can call Deb Fritsrold at Students and Residential Life @ (760)-750-4952.

Among the audience, was a panel of distinguished speakers such as Scott Greenwood, CSUSM professor of political science, Beth Accomando, KPBS film critic, and Daniel McSwain, editorial page editor of the North County Times. The screening began at 6p.m. and was followed by a group discussion conducted by the panel of speakers. Most of the audience seemed to enjoy the film as laughter occasionally swept the room. Admission prices were $2.50 for Cal State San Marcos students, $3 for faculty and staff and $4 for other guests. A fter the screening, audience members exchanged opinions and views with each other and with the panel of speakers. The "When we collect infromation and opinions, we should consider both sides" topics ranged from the quality of the documentary to Michael Moore himself and to the question, "How much truth is portrayed in the documentary?" McSwain andGreenwood suggested when we collect information and opinions, we should If:.' M ICHAEL M O O R E ' consider both sides. "We should not only see what's being reported but also what's not being reported," said Greenwood. "I think the documentary L mmmmm«* n r s « . » I BÈI H I is very thought provoking.

"The event was successful and fed CSUSM students at the rate of 200 bratwurst hot dog plates per hour" The festival came to the Mezzanine playing Bavarian polkas, waltzes, ballads and dancing called Schuhplatters. Schuhplatters consist of a duo dancing in circles arm in arm, while intermittently slapping the soles of their shoes. "My family has always loved the Schuplatter tradition," said Erma Fassel, "which originated when the Germari village folk observed bird mating dances while playing classical music" "The Oktoberfest tradition started in the middle ages when King Ludwig 1 married Theresa of Saxon and threw a huge party for the event," said Bill Fassel, who is three-fourths Austrian and one-fourth Bavarian. It went so well that he decided to do it again next year. The tradition has lived on as a lavish party and celebrates the fall harvest in the Bundesland. In modern Germany Oktoberfest is celebrated in many places but mainly in the big city of Munich located in the southern province of Bavaria. The cultural event happens when the people set up nine huge tents, holding about 10,000 people each and having an authentic twenty-five man brass band playing folk music for residents and visitors from around the world. A variety of different beers are served and traditional attire is worn to signify the history of the region. CSUSM's Oktoberfest was an ASI sponsored event developed by Tanja Schroder, director Bill Fassel plays the accordion for students at the Mezzanine. of ASI cultural events, and Jen Kitter, director of annual events. "The event was successful and fed CSUSM students at the rate of 200 bratwurst hot dog plates per hour/' said Kitter. Drinks, sauerkraut and fried onions were also served. "If you missed the event, ASI has plans for another fun Oktoberfest but you'll have to wait until next year," said Schroder. Students receive bratwurst hot dogs from ASI. More than just nutritional bars PAID ADVERTISEMENT Lunafest presents films b enefiting breast cancer awareness f und BY ALLISON SANSBURY Pride Staff Writer Lunafest is a traveling film festival that features movies and short films created by, for and about women. Cal State San Marcos got two chances to catch the Lunafest this year, once on October 8 and October 9. Lunafest is sponsored by Lunabar, a nutritional bar. Luna-bar is presently an active sponsor of the Breast Cancer Awareness Fund. Being Breast Cancer Awareness month, there could not be a more appropriate time to have the festival. The makers of the Luna-bar, Clif Bar Inc., created the Lunabar in response to female consumers and women employees of Clif Bar Inc. The films that played at Lunafest this year were, "A Good Uplift", "Shui Hen", "Little Black Boot", "Wet Dreams and False Images", "Velvet Tigress", "La Milpa/The Cornfield" and "Dysenchanted". The Breast Cancer Awareness Fund is a nonprofit organization focused on identifying the causes of breast cancer and preventing the disease. Cures for breast cancer can vary but the extreme involves removing the breast. Portions of the profits from ticket sales go to the Breast Cancer Fund. The first ever Lunafest raised $7,000 in 2001. Although, last year $21,500 was raised. The next stop for the Lunafest is in Seattle, Washington. Lunafest will then continue its trip across the U.S. Shows ranging from the Lunabar headquarters in Berkeley to Boston and even Canada. The Lunabar also sponsors other groups such as the Luna Chix, the official professional mountain biking team of Luna-bar. If you're a LUNA-tic, more information is available at www. lunabar.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Rd San Marcos m ore i nfo? b irthchoice.net real answers, real help �Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer "Friday NightLights" starring Billy Bob Thornton was released last week and j ust like every other sports movie that comes out, I j ust had to see it. There have been quite I a few sports movies that have been disappointing like "For The Love of The Game" with Kevin Costner or "The Rookie" with Dennis Quaid and no disrespect to those guys but they don't belong on the field trying to imitate athletes. Actors trying to play coaches hasn't exactly worked out too well either; j ust ask A1 Pacino in "Any Given Sunday" which was not one of his greatest performances. So when I heard Billy Bob Thornton was going to play the part of head coach Gary Gaines in this movie I didn't exactly have the best feeling. However, Billy Bob did not disappoint in this role. He played the role of the head coach of the Permian High Panthers in the small town of Odessa, Texas. Permian high was profiled in an issue of Sports Illustrated in 1988 that told the story of this football team that had to overcome many obstacles to narrowly lose in the Texas state football championship. In small towns of Texas, high school football is everything to the people. The entire town shuts down on Friday nights so that everyone can catch the game. With so much focus on the sport, the student athletes and coaches feel the pres- DEGREE sure to perform. The star running back for the Panthers was Boobie Miles (Played by Derek Luke) who had his ticket written to pretty much any college until he got hurt the first game of the season with a knee injury. Boobie felt so much pressure that he tried to come back too early and he f urther injured his knee. Many kids who play football feel extra pressure because their dads were great football players and such was the case of Don Billingsley. Billingsley is played by Garret Hedlund and his dad is played by country western star Tim McGraw. Billingsley is constantly being berated by his father for not living up to what his father accomplished when he played football. For some kids in these small towns their only ticket out is through football and such was the case for quarterback Mike Winchell (played by Lucas Black). A fter the injury to Boobie, Winchell was forced to find a way to get this team to the championship when not much was expected of him at the beginning of the season.

FROM THE RIGHT Mother Nature loves you. If you think about it, she's pretty damn tolerant. People litter the world with their trash and pollute the air Polly Charoenkwanchai around them, yet she is constantly attempting to rejuvenate the earth. We assume that she can do this fast enough to catch up to the bag of chips we hastily threw on the road yesterday or the factory down the road. Amid the busy life of a student, there is little or no time to think about the environment. Most of us are hypocrites. We say we care about the nature of the world while almost all of us continue to drive vehicles that pollute the air. It's a catch-22! I am opposed to drilling oil in Alaska, but I love my little Honda Civic which consumes gas like a frat boy gulps down beer. I hate the thought of wild life losing their habitat, but that doesn't make me want to walk to work. So what is the solution? Should we forgo cars and live off the land? I believe that there are little things people can do to help Mother Nature help us: Don't Litter. Trashcans are virtually everywhere nowadays; it wouldn't hurt to walk the extra eight steps to dispose your garbage. Carpool. It saves money, it helps the environment and you have your own specially designated lane on the f reeway. Better yet, use a bike to reach your destination. I 'm not suggesting you bike if you live in San Marcos and work in Poway, but you can certainly bike to the market down the block. Once again, it saves money, it helps the environment and provides great exercise. You know those trashcans that are specified for certain types of trash? Plastics, cans, bottles and papers? Those are cans that help people recycle. They're all over campus! It shouldn't be hard to figure out where you should dump your soda can. Recycling allows less trash to be sent to the landfills, thereby saving natural resources such as trees, oil and aluminum. The Bush administration passed a Clean Air Act that supposedly restricts air pollution by installing new pollution, control that will regulate major factory upgrades. This act would work if they did not also propose a revision to the rules called the New Source Review, which would make it simple for these plants to find a loophole to avoid or delay installing the pollution reduction technologies. This administration has also proposed to exterminate an act that would protect about 58 million acres of national forest, thereby allowing logging on more open land. The Bush administration has consistently proposed laws that hurt the environment. Although Kerry has had his share of blemishes (he voted against the maintenance of forest road service and wildlife habitat programs), but he is endorsed by the Sierra Club, a national e nvironmental organization. Kerry has voted to protect California deserts. He has proposed to end commercial whaling and illegal trading on whale meat. Kerry has voted repeatedly to block oil drilling in ANWR (Artie National Wildlife Refuge). Despite the words of politicians, it is imperative that we do something to help the precious and fragile condition of the earth. Whether your course of action leads you to the voting booth or not, it is time to realize that we have responsibilities towards Mother Nature before it's too late. Some days at CSUSM I feel like the lone buoy of moderate conservatism floating in a sea of radical liberals: professors preach the futility Phoenix Lindgren of the war in Iraq — and regime change in November ~ f rom their classroom pulpits, the liberal PAN is the most vocal group on campus and Kerry buttons on back packs appear to outnumber Bush buttons at least a thousand to one. But I never feel alone when it comes to environmental issues. I, too, have a fondness for clean air and water and space for wildlife. I recycle what I can on campus, and curbside at my house (paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, and clean greens). I quit commuting to reduce my car's emissions (and my stress level). I ride my scooter to work when the weather's Photos by Jason Encabo / The Pride nice to save energy. And I'm religious about turning off lights and keeping my water use to a minimum. It warms the cockles of my heart to see students walking to campus, overflowing recycling bins and f ull carpool spaces in our parking lots, but I've also seen plenty of recyclables in the garbage, garbage left for someone else to pick up, and students being dropped off in front of Craven by family or friends rather than being inconvenienced by public transportation. One of my biggest on-campus pet peeves is those among us who use the electric doors unnecessarily. I know it's probably not a huge amount of wasted electricity, and I have no argument if your hands are f ull or you really do have trouble opening a door for yourself, but I'm constantly following people — particularly through Craven ~ who appear to use the electric door buttons as a personal, energy-wasting convenience. How each of us chooses to treat the environment is something that can't be legislated, in spite of beliefs to the contrary by my liberal colleagues. Yes, the state can mandate that the school recycles a certain volume of refuse, but unless you choose to put your recyclables into the right bin, no mandate can keep plastic and paper out of the waste stream. You're also the only one who can choose to pre-cycle — that is buy products with less packaging to reduce waste ~ take care of your clothes so they last longer, and bring a reusable mug with you to pour your organically grown coffee in. The government can legislate lower emissions for cars, but you're the one who controls what manufacturers offer based on what cars you buy. And legislation is useless when it comes to whether or not you choose to alter your lifestyle in order to reduce the number of miles you drive each year, or whether or not when the time comes to start investing your hard-earned money you invest in companies that treat the environment (and their workers) well. Who would you rather have r unning a major corporation: a person whose only motivation for corporate responsibility is legislated, or a person who believes in the principal of personal responsibility and extends that belief to how their corporation conducts its business? �OPINION \JJL THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 12 2004 •¡J By JASON NICHOLS Pride Ombudsman Moore info, Moore tickets, No Moore Michael, Moore shafting.

Do I nod my well-read head and agree that my future does in fact look dismal? Or should I stand up and be proud of the fact that reading is fundamental, and don't I know it!

The Early Learning Center is CSUSM's answer for childcare for student parents. I know there are many of you out there who would like to vote no because you don't want to pay for something you are not going to use. I understand that, however many of us pay for fees here we don't use, books we don't read, a parking structure we will never see. This ten dollars is at least going to a humanitarian cause: the education of children. The Early Learning Center enables many parents the ability to continue their education to provide a better life for their children, provides childcare to CSUSM faculty & the community, as well as provides internships, employment opportunities and more. It is a wonderful program. As you could guess, I am a student parent; my daughter Madison age three has attended the "school" as she calls it, for a little over a year and she loves it. In that time, she has become potty trained, learned toridea tricycle, can count to twenty, is recognizing numbers, is learning to write her name, and is learning valuable social skills. She would have met these milestones eventually but I know that they have been met sooner and with more understanding with the love and support of the ELC staff behind her. I really hope students realize that this is not about ten more little dollars (it's only two or three Starbucks©), but it's about the big picture and as cheesy as it sounds, children are our future. The children who attend the center might be only between the ages of 2 and 5 but they still care about their school. If the vote doesn't pass the ELC will be forced to close its doors. How awful would that be for this to be these children's first educational experience; a school they have been so comfortable in and have grown to love being closed because CSUSM couldn't fit it in their budget. Please do therightthing for these children, please protect their school, please protect their teacher's jobs, please vote yes and encourage others to do so. Natasha Walls Liberal Studies Major Dear pride/editor: For the last weeks it seems that all you write about is Michael Moore.When the controversy began there were even four more pages of the edition. I want to know who makes the decision on what to write. AtfirstI thought that the writters only wrote about events that gave out free food. There was a report about the president's pick-nick and the recycling thing, both events gave out free food. But between those two events there was another event that gave free food but there was nothing written about it. Maybe it was because it was a celebration of the Mexican independence day. Or maybe it was because MEChA was an organizer of that event. I do not know the answer but I thought that a cultural event that included dance and poetry would be something to be reported about, but it was not the case. This week we have some more Michael Moore news, and I bet that next week there will be some more. There was another event that I think was important but the Pride did not take into consideration writting about it. This event was announced the universtity's home page. I'm referring to Preview Day which was held last Saturday here on campus. It is the first year that this event takes place here and it was organized by the University Outreach and Recruitment. There were many people that worked hard to put this event together and again the Pride didn't write about it. Thank you for your time. Carmelino Cruz (HD Major) Listen. Process. Help.

Lunafest has it all for Cake: Pressure Chief BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer M BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writer Any man daring enough to wear pink is alright in my book. So imagine my intrigue when picking up Cake's latest album Pressure Chief. Both the packaging and the CD inside were covered in vintage-inspired pink decals. Pressure Chief is by far Cake's most eclectic album yet. The band stretches the genre of ska to its fullest extent by including so many things not typically heard in the alternative rock category. There are trumpets galore, mostly present in the first song "Wheels" but they're used throughout the entire album. The banjo is prominent in "End of the Movie" to convey the mood of an old picture. Overall, this album is so diverse that you really need to listen to every song to get the feel of what Cake is trying to accomplish. Each song is more melodic than the last and everything just works well together. "No Phone" is the second track and is headlining the record. It's very much electronica-inspired and has the catchiest tune out of a Cinderella story with a modern twist, Prince Charming was a woman. "Wet Dreams and False I was shocked as I walked into the make-shift theater of room Images" is a nightmare under 113 at the Fieldhouse with a bras- false pretenses where men siere plastered onto the screen. assume that women's bodies are as perfect as the airbrushed ones Yet somehow it was intriguing.

One of my favorite tracks was "Dime" which is about taking things for granted. Lines like "I'm fine/And I shine/I'm freshly minted/I'm silver-plated/I'm underrated" really hit close to home because they can be applied to so many things, including the band, who are underrated in my opinion. Things speed up next with "Carbon Monoxide" which is blend of the pop-punk that is so popular today and classic rock from the '60s and '70s. "The Guitar Man" slows things down a bit in sort of a romantic parody of the influence that music has over our lives. Music will never let us down and neither has this album.

'Fare'ly awful BY RYAN JAMES Pride Staff Writer Saturday Night Live is a hit, but we can't say the same thing for Jimmy Fallon's acting career. The lead role of police officer Washburn is played by Fallon. Washburn is striving to please his police officer father by being a prestigious upholder of the law. In his attempts to obtain this dream, Washburn encounters many obstacles, the number one obstacle being his phobia of driving. "Taxi" opens with Washburn in undercover attire blowing a case and then proceeding to wreck a squad car, an aspect he is known for among his force. He then becomes the laughing stock of the NYPD due to a newspaper cover story of his idiocy. Upset with Washburn's terrible driving record, lieutenant Ruby (Jennifer Esposito) revokes his driver license and sends him walking. While walking home a bank robbery in progress is called into Washburn's radio. Quick to redeem himself Washburn flags down a taxi, but not just any taxi, the suped up too fast too f urious taxi of Belle (Queen Latifah). Washburn leads Belle on an ongoing pursuit of a gang of four beautiful Brazilian models, I mean bank robbers led by Vanessa, played by Vitorias Secret model Gisele Bundchen. When we as viewers go to see movies like "Taxi" we don't expect to see the greatest movie ever, but we do expect to get some laughs and leave the theater with a sense of enjoyment. While I did have the occasional laugh, it was short, and usually inspired by Belle, not our leading man Washburn. Queen Latifah's role of Belle and even the role of Washburns drunkard mother (Ann-Margaret) outshined leading man Fallon. This movie lacks the one- liners that make comedies successful. While a fan of Fallon, he wasn't able to cross over his comedic act on to the big screen. I do not recommend this movie. Taxi driver Belle (Queen Latifah) argues with Police officer Washburn (Fallon) Dining at Grappa BY TIFFANYLIU Pride Staff Writer f urther than right across the way f rom our lovely CSUSM campus.

However, during the 1960's and 1970's, the evolution of distilling technology and v ast improvements in wine production all contributed to the reincarnation of grappa which is now known to be an elegant Italian brandy.

The day was planned specifically to bring awareness to issues surrounding education in light of this fall's midterm election season. CSUSM held its own rally in defense of public education during U-hour in the free speech plaza. As students gathered for the event, protest-themed music was played over loudspeakers to inspire emotion and unrest. Students were served free pizza and heard speeches from CSUSM Student Body President Susana Figueroa, CSUSM professor Heidi Breuer, and California State University Employees Union CSUSM Chapter President Mike Geek. The microphone was then open for students at the rally to come and share their opinions. Figueroa appealed to her fellow students in her speech, reminding them that they have a responsibility to hold state leaders accountable for the promises they make. Students can make a difference and form a legacy by choosing to step up and vote. "As college students, we are often devalued although we work so hard for our education," she said. "Voting is so easy to do—investigating the issues is the hardest part, but also the most essential." Breuer opened her speech by mentioning the millions of dollars in federal stimulus funds that were recently granted to the UC and CSU systems and pointing out that professors are no longer complaining about furlough days. "It may seem like everything is fine now," she said to the students, "but all is not good!" She compared the present state of public education to the eye of a hurricane. "We are in the eye of our storm, the storm of public education. We are in the middle of a huge attack. .. the chaos is coming." Breuer said that the most pressing issue in the IILIZE coming elec- tion is whether education should be a privilege, privatized so that only those with money can attend school, or a right. "Education doesn't just benefit you, it benefits the entire community," she said, "so tell a friend, register to vote, and go vote in the Nov. election!"

California politicians made repeated drastic cuts to the CSU educational system budget for many years. Recently, Governor Schwarzenegger proposed restoring $305 million to the CSU system. If the California legislature enacts the proposed budget, there will be a new influx of students attending CSUSM this Januaiy. Last year, over 17,000 prospective students applied for enrollment in CSUSM during the priority-filing period. This statistic was up 22 percent from student applications for the fall 2009 semester. According to official school statistics, the number of transfer applicants has increased 48 percent compared to the transfer applicant rate from fall 2009. CSUSM is only welcoming certain students for spring 2011. The first students to be admitted will come from local community colleges such as Palomar College, Mount San Jacinto College (MSJC), and MiraCosta College. Students transferring from the community colleges must be ready to start their upper division coursework. Prospective students should have . consecutively attended Palomar, MSJC or MiraCosta before applying to CSUSM. Students looking to be readmitted into CSUSM also have first priority admissions status. International or foreign exchange students are also allowed to apply for the spring 2 0tl semester. Students from countries outside the United States need a valid F1 visa to be considered for admission. CSUSM will not receive students aspiring to accomplish a second bachelor's degree. They will also not be accepting first time freshmen or lower division applicants. CSUSM will know how many transfer students they can afford to accept after the California education budget is finalized. Therefore, offers of admission into CSUSM will not be dispatched immediately. If students are not accepted for spring 2011, they have two options for the fate of their applications. Transfer or international students may use the spring 2011 applications for the prospect of getting in during fall 2011, or they may request to have their applications rescinded and their money returned to their pockets. The deadline for transcripts to be delivered to academic admission is this Friday, Oct. 15.

He spoke positively of California Governor 2010 candidate Meg Whitman, citing her plan to give PHOTO COURTESY OF CSUSM.EDU billions of dollars back to the CSU system and completely reform the budget, devoting recovered funds to education.

PHOTO PROVIDED BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI The college survival guide Roomates 101: c ommunication, cleanliness, a nd c onsideration BY DEVONNE EDORA PRIDE STAFF WRITER Fall semester is kicking into high gear. Our college years have begun and many new and different experiences are yet to come. Do you live in the University Village Apartments (UVA) or off-campus housing? Then there is high chance that at some point you will be living with roommates. Having a roommate is a big responsibility, filled with challenges and disagreements. Yet it can also be a great and rewarding adventure. So listen up and take notes, Cougars. Next time "roomie" issues come up, remind yourself of these helpful tips. #1 Communication is essential. Whether you're living with friends or not, being able to talk and communicate openly provides an honest environment. Things can be great in the beginning, but can get ugly really fast. Make sure to address any issues right away. Roommates who reach a mutual understanding of each other's needs are able to form better relationships. Brian Dawson, housing director at UVA, encourages students to "walk in each other's shoes," when people come to college. "All they know is what they've lived at home, so everyone has different routines." Living with roommates isn't easy, but try to be openminded about each other to avoid any future conflicts. #2 Figure out what is "clean." Everyone grew up in various types of households. Having spilt oatmeal on the counter might be considered spotless to some, but filthy to others. Discuss with one another what "cleanliness" means to each person. Does the carpet need to be vacuumed once a week or once a month? If necessary, come up with a chore list. Just make sure everyone participates. Defining what cleanliness means will greatly reduce any problems and and Post-It notes saying, "Whose dishes are these?" #3 Be considerate. Try to be aware of each other's lifestyles and values. Coming to college places students in unfamiliar places, so being polite to others can go a long way. "People need to lower their expectations for what the other person is doing, and to raise their expectations for themselves," advises Dawson. Chances are some roommates will be blaring Lil' Wayne through paper-thin walls. Some will always bring guests over (especially when you're studying). Some will be coming home at the wee hours of the morning, waking everyone up five hours earlier than they need to. No matter how irritating all that can be, have respect for your roommates. You need to be willing to listen and receptive to change. Figure out a policy on study schedules, noise levels, and privacy. In this way, it is helpful to see what everyone agrees on and eases the living situation. Handling these issues in an adult manner is a great skill that proves to be useful even beyond college. Be patient and respectful to your roommates. Students should be stressing about 10 page papers, not unwashed dishes. Don't expect to become best friends, but implementing these tips can at least open that up as a possibility.

When Sheri Jennum talks about passion, you can feel it. Jennum, the new women's basketball coach, gestures emphatically, explaining how much she loves her well-lit office, how excited she is to be on the CSUSM campus, and why she has been so successful in other positions. "When it comes to [basketball], I am extremely competitive—it's about having passion." When you look at her story, you understand. Jennum has never been anything but a winner. She's a member of the Napa High School hall of fame, once leading Napa High to a Bay Valley Conference championship. At Fullerton College, she was the Most Valuable Player of the Southern California Tournament after an undefeated season. After transferring to Cai Poly Pomona, she lead the 1985 team to an NCAA Division II championship, earning all-tournament team honors. Her coaching history is no different. She enjoyed success at several assistant and head coaching jobs at various levels before leaving the sport in 2000 to become a lawyer. Men's golf finishes 9th in first tournament of fall But the taste for money and security only lasts for so long when you love the game like Jennum. In 2004, she accepted an assistant job at her Community College Alma Mater, Fullerton. A year later she moved on to an assistant job across town from CSUSM at Palomar College, where she became the head coach full-time in 2007. Over the last three years, her teams compiled a record of 74-18, with an astonishing record in the Pacific Coast Conference of 40-2. It is no wonder the administration chose Jennum to lead the Lady Cougars. Jennum said the feeling was mutual. "I've had my eye on the [CSUSM athletic] program for a long time," she said, "and it was exciting when the soccer, softball and baseball teams got started." When it's built, the new CSUSM basketball and volleyball arena will be visible from Jennum's office window. But as she gazes at the spot, she notes that it probably won't be built for "as we understand it at least a year, if not two." When asked about the possibility of the Cougars playing home games in the Dome at Palomar College, Jennum almost seems to have not considered the significance of coaching at her old stomping grounds. My main focus is on day to day use, on practice sites...but if [Palomar] will have us, I 'm more than happy to play anywhere." Once the first season begins in 2011, will the women's team play any games on the same night as the men, as is traditional in established programs? Jennum isn't sure. "It's tough to schedule doubleheaders as an independent. [The Cougars will compete as an NAIA independent . in 2011.] Teams don't want to play you in January or February, because they don't want to play outside their conference. And it's difficult without a home site. But I have been talking with [Men's coach] Jim [Saia] about it, and we'd like to. I know it's exciting for the fans." Jennum mentions her focus on graduation with academic success and community service. She also knows Cougar fans expect winning. There's plenty of pressure, and she'sfinewith it. She recites a quote by tennis legend Billy Jean King: "Pressure is privilege." "I believe that." she said with a nod. "Because when you are under pressure, you've put yourself in a situation where you can win...our first year, we're going for a championship." ' "There's s ome talk about that, about a c ouple other s ites.

The tournament was won by the host school's "B" team, who shot 865 to defeat the "A" team by two strokes. Leading the way for the Cougars was Robert Nicanor, who got his season off to a fantastic start. Nicanor shot 74 on Tuesday after rounds of 74 and 77 on Monday, giving him a three-round total of 225, good for 25th place. Not far behind was sophomore Adam Loran, who tied for 31st with a score of 229. He shot rounds of 73, 77, and 79. Kevin Rubyfinishedoff a solid performance in his first tournament as a Cougar, shooting 7580-79 to tie for 38th with a score of 234. One shot back was Marco Gomez, whofinishedtied for 40th after shooting 74-84-77 (235). Rounding out the squad was Devon Jeon, who took 50th at 248 (84-82-82). CSUSM will be back in action on October 2526 at CSU Northridge. CSUSM women's soccer ended their goal-scoring drought today, earning a 6-0 victory over Soka University. The lady Cougars, who had not played a game in two weeks, dominated in the attack taking 30 shots and putting 13 on goal. #16-ranked CSUSM improves to 5-1-5 this season. Soka is currently 2-8-1. The Cougars controlled possession of the game, and maintained a solid back line that did not allow Soka any opportunities. CSUSM played an offensive game, creating numerous chances on net. CSUSM controlled play from the kickoff, but were unable to finish a chance until late in the first half. The first goal of the game came in the 41st minute from Arielle Cohen, who received a pass from Shannon Cox and fired a shot to the back of the net from 25 yards out. But once the secondhalf began, CSUSM opened the floodgates.

The #16-ranked Cougars improve to 6-1-5 on the season. Chapman, a member of NCAA Division HI, drops to 7-4. CSUSM came out absolutely onfireon Saturday, and the team's first 20 minutes was very likely the best stretch of soccer that the home fans have seen this season. The Cougars got to every loose ball, won every 50/50 chance, and played with a tenacity that overwhelmed their opponent. As the team has learned this season though, it's one thing to dominate play, but it takes something else to translate that into goals. Today the Cougars did just that, thanks largely to Johnson. In thE ninth minute, Taylor Schurman, who was among the many Cougars that had a fantastic game, hit a dangerous ball into the box. It ricocheted off the crossbar, and was eventually poked home by Johnson to put CSUSM up 1-0. Not long after, Schurman once again carried the ball down the right flank, hitting another excellent cross into the box. This time it found Johnson cleanly, who crushed a shot into the back of the net to make it 2-0. Johnson wasted little time in making it a hat trick - the first of the season for CSUSM - taking advantage of a Taylor Ziencina cross and punching it home to make it 3-0. That would end the first half scoring, and Chapman came out with renewed motivation in the second half, controlling play for a stretch that result- ed in a goal by Aimee Evans. But CSUSM would regain control and put the contest away late. In the 71st minute, Ziencina and Breanna Brenton combined for a corner kick goal for the second straight game, with Brenton using her height and aerial skills to get a clean header off past the Chapman keeper. And finally, with just 16 seconds left to play, Kelsey Gunion hit a nice through ball that found Arielle Cohen, who •dribbled in one-on-one with the keeper and slid it by for her third goal in two games. Since a two-week mid-season break, CSUSM has now scored 11 goals in its two games. Prior to that, the Cougars had scored 3 goals in their previous 6 matches. The Cougars will be back in action this Wednesday at San Diego Christian.

CSUSM improves to 6-22 on the season. Soka drops to 7-5. Both teams' records also benefitted from the recent decision of #5-ranked Vanguard University to forfeit its first six games of the season. Playing in front of the loud home crowd on Thursday, the Cougars controlled play from the opening whistle, not allowing a single shot while tallying 28 of their own and putting 12 on net. Kevin Ernst earned the shutout in net for CSUSM, with a huge assist from his midfield and back line, who were stout for all 90 minutes. The Cougars wasted little time shaking off the rust, taking a 1-0 lead in the second minute. Max Blumenshine played a long ball behind the defense, and Warren Ashcroft ran under it and drove a solid strike past the keeper and into the roof of the net. That score would persist through the first half, before CSUSM added the clincher early in the second. In the 60th minute, Jordan Shadeed collected a ball in the attacking zone, and dribbled his way around defenders to the side of the net. Shooting from a sharp angle, Shadeed hit a rocket into the back of the net to put his team up 2-0 and ultimately finish the game. CSUSM will be back in action at San Diego Christian this Wednesday. �C S U S M THEATER PREVIEW: CHELA, A CTOS, A ND A THEATER FEST HEAT U P THE HOLIDAYS O N CAMPUS BY JENNA JAUREGUI DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER The theater department at CSUSM is hard at work preparing for its upcoming productions, anticipating an exciting semester of fresh, original performances. Keeping with CSUSM's celebration of cultural diversity, many of the productions contain a multicultural point of view—exploring the adversity and achievements of Hispanic culture. "Given the mounting anti-immigrant propaganda now being felt by many of Hispanic descent, this is a time to bring theatre of consciousness to the public," Visual and Performing Arts professor Marcos Martinez said of the upcoming shows. •"As the premier educational institution in North County, CSUSM is taking the lead in offering theatre that speaks to issues affecting our community and our region." The two main performances this fall are "Chela," a one-woman show by comedienne/actress Dulce Maria Solis, and "Actos," a collection of satirical one-act plays by renowned director/playwright/ social rights activist Luis Valdez. "Chela" is a biographical performance that tells the poignant true story of a young Mexican woman and the shocking challenges she faces as an immigrant trapped in a loveless marriage, struggling to regain her sexuality. Performed and written by CSUSM theater alumnus and rising actress Dulce Maria Solis, this inspiring production is based on the life of Solis's own mother. Its powerful messages are laced with comedy and sorrow, culminating in a captivating, emotional narrative. "Actos" portrays the identity struggle, psychological trauma, and abuse endured by Mexican-American farmworkers. The production is based on Valdez's experiences with migrant workers when he joined Cesar Chavez in his efforts to educate and organize farmworkers in the 1960s. Shown through a satirical lens, these short sketches use bits of humor to illuminate powerful social and political critique. Known as "the father of Chicano theatre in the United States," Luis Valdez is renowned for his work in Hollywood whose credits include the movies "La Bamba" and "Zoot Suit." Come December, the theater department will host a student festival of plays and per- formances written and acted entirely by CSUSM students. Theater student Tricia Bowen said the plays are "so funny... it's a great chance to support your friends and peers, and see some really entertaining shows." The student festival includes a monologue festival, and a play festival. The p lay festival will feature two one-act plays written by students from last semester's play and screenwriting class— "Just Passing Through" by Matt Chewiwie and "The Overnights" by Samantha Carr—and a capstone project by graduating theater/VPA major Mary Relator, titled "S-t-a-u-n-c-h Women"— a cabaret-style show portraying iconic, fictional, and historical women and the issues they face. For more information about upcoming theater events at CSUSM or for advanced reservations, call (760) 750-4137 or visit http://www.csusm. edu/vpa/art-e vents/index .html. If you are looking for some culture, entertainment, and thoughtprovoking drama, mark your calendars and support your fellow students.

The festival first got its start in 2000 at the University of San Diego, and since has grown into an event that has highlighted and honored over 1,000 independent films from all over the world. Taking place in Mission Valley at the Hazard Center UltraStar Cinema (7510 Hazard Center Drive, San Diego), this year's festival will include over 140 movie screenings from 20 different countries, and will be attended by over 100 filmmakers and actors, including John Cho ("Harold and Kumar" and "Star Trek"), Danny Pudi ("Community"), Ellen Wong ("Scott Pilgrim VS The World"), and Daniel Dae Kim ("Lost"). With panels, workshops, live music, and the opportunity to meet filmmakers, The San Diego Asian Film Festival is the perfect chance for you to be adventurous and see some films that maybe you wouldn't normally try out. Kicking off the festival will be the West Coast premiere of the ambitious martial arts film "Legend of the Fist," by filmmaker Andrew Lau. Set during the Second Sino-Japanese War, it is a story of vengeance and resistance, displaying a dynamic visual style and incredible martial arts. Closing the festival is the romantic comedy "Au Revoir Taipei," written and directed by Arvin Chen. Spanning just one night, it tells the story of Kai and Susie as they find excitement (including an Asian Four Tops cover band) and love together in Taipei. Produced by Wim Wenders ("Wings of Desire"), "Au Revoir Taipei" promises to be the perfect ending of what is surer to be an amazing festival. Currently tickets in packs of four ($34) and ten ($86) can be purchased online at www.sdaff. org, and starting Oct. 19, tickets can be bought at the Mission Valley UltraStar theater's box office.

PHOTO COURTESY OF POPCULTURESHOCK.COM �HOT O FF THE REEL: R.E.D. by mila p a n t o vich pride s t a f f w r i t e r A movie about retired CIA agents may not seem appealing to a younger generation, but "Red" certainly succeeds in proving any naysayers wrong. Filled with a high-caliber cast, copious amounts of gunfire, fantastic action sequences, and perfectly timed jokes, "Red" manages to set itself apart from any other film at the theater right now, making it the perfect film to catch with a group of friends. Frank Moses is a CIA blackops retiree living a life of calm repetition. He fills his days with a routine that includes watching after an avocado pit and finding excuses to call Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), a telephone operator who escapes her dull life through reading trashy romance novels. However, when a group of heavily armed assassins shoots their way into his house, Frank quickly discovers that he, and all of the agents he worked with, are targets due to their knowledge of top-secret information. After snatching Sarah, who was in danger due to her contact with him, Frank begins reassembling his old team, Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich), and Victoria (Helen Mirren). Together, the team makes their way to an ex- citing climax, with a government cover-up involving the Vice President (Julian McMahon), which will leave a smile on your face. It's incredibly hard to pull off a good action comedy without giving the audience the overwhelming feeling that you're trying too hard. Thankfully, Robert Schwentke has an incredible cast that revel in their characters. Bruce Willis plays a ruthless killer who is, as Mirren's character explains, "gooey on the inside." It's a role that Willis has done countless times but it works because delivering fun action scenes (including a scene in which he calmly steps out of a car that's doing a 360 degree spin) is what Wilis does best. x While Willis is good, his fellow retired black-ops agents make the movie truly worth seeing. Playing a cancer patient living in a retirement home, Morgan Freeman is disappointingly underused but uses his screen time with a charming and effortless ease. Playing a paranoid conspiracy theorist, John Malkovich only gets more fascinating and hypnotizing with age. Even when barely in the frame, he steals nearly every scene that he is in, reveling in Marvin's neurosis and entertaining with merely the raise of an eyebrow. Matching Malkovich for laughs is Helen Mirren, who is absolutely stunning as the polished and lethal weapon's expert, Victoria. Mirren effortlessly proves that, at 65 years old, she is far sexier behind a high-powered machine gun than any young starlet could ever be. Also delivering great performances are MaryLouise Parker, Karl Urban as the conflicted agent tasked with killing the group, Richard Dreyfuss, Brian Cox, and an adored appearance by Ernest Borgnine. While a PG-13 rating is often a detriment to action films, rest assured that the rating hasn't dulled the explosive fun one bit. "Red" renders the low rating unnoticeable by employing excellent ac. tion scenes and a plethora of gunfire. With bodies being blown to bits, Schwentke turned to stylized sequences without resorting to unnecessary moments of excessive blood. For fans of the original graphic novel of the same name by Warren Ellis and Cully Hammer, don't expect a faithful adaptation. After all, the Frank of the book would never be called "gooey." However, as a standalone action film, "Red" makes the right' choice in letting its incredible cast have fun with their roles, which in turn makes the film a complete joy to watch. With its predictability and bloated length that drags in the middle, "Red" doesn't reinvent the action comedy genre by any means. Nevertheless, by providing constant laughs and delivering scenes like Malkovich's attack on a woman in the airport and Mirren's command of a rocket launcher, "Red" will probably be the most fun you've had in a movie theater in a while.

Although some may not take their food preferences to such extremesf there is no denying the warm pleasure of a bowl of fragrant, steaming soup on a chilly autumn evening. Soup can serve as a light lunch or, when paired with a sandwich or pasta dish, a filling dinner. It may be easy to break out the can opener and heat some pre-packaged chowder or broth, but with only a few more minutes of preparation, you can enjoy a bowl of homemade soup custom designed to suit your taste. A little time on the stove and your soup will be ready for slurping. Full of nutritious ingredients and vitamins, soups are a scrumptious way to stave off winter cold and flu season. There is a reason why people recommend eating chicken soup when you get sick! Here is a recipe to get you started. Chicken Tortilla Soup 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 cup chopped cooked chicken Vi avocado, diced VA cup fresh cilantro leaves 1 can diced tomatoes 1 chopped poblano pepper * Vegetable or chicken stock Handful of corn tortilla chips Shredded cheese Pour all ingredients except the stock and chips into a pot and heat on the stove until warmed.

The avocados and black beans in this soup are nutritional powerhouses. CSUSM health educator Cathy Nguyen said, "Good sources of nutrients found in avocados include: beta carotene, magnesium, Vitamin E, and potassium to name a few." Regarding the health benefits of black beans, she said, "according to a research study from Michigan State University in 2003, black beans have the most antioxidant activity of all flavonoids when compared to 12 other varieties of dry beans. Black beans are also an excellent source of dietary fiber and help with digestive disorders." This soup proves that eating healthy can be delicious! Ciao, my soup chefs! THE COOKIN' COUGAR DRAWING BY CHELSEA JAUREGUI �OCTOBER 12TH, 2010 A&E THE PRIDE S treet a rt t hrive/ in BY MILA PANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER If you've been to downtown San Diego within the past two months, you've probably noticed the more recent insurgence of inspired street art to hit our urban landscape. If you have yet to make a trip to the downtown area, take a day off and make the short drive as quickly as possible. On July 18, 2010, the "Museum of Contemporary Art" opened its most recent art exhibition, "Viva la Revolución: A Dialogue with the Urban Landscape" within the Jacobs Building on Kettner Boulevard. Curated by Pedro Alonzo and MCASD Associate Curator Lucía Sanromán, the exhibit features twenty of the most well known street artists from ten different countries (including the likes of Shepard Fairey, Banksy, VHILS, and Barry McGee). The exhibit succeeds in opening dialogue to the nature of street art and its place in society by removing the art from its urban context and placing it within the white walls of a museum. The risk was well taken and incredibly successful due to the sheer weight and overwhelming beauty of the pieces shown. With thoughtprovoking installations, the exhibit succeeds in integrating the chaos of urban artwork with the pristine, and often outdated, setting of an art museum. One of the largest pieces in the exhibit is by Swoon, the only female artist featured in the exhibit. The enormous installation utilizes recycled materials, such as wood slabs and glass bottles, to assemble a tower of forgotten waste that gives attention to industrialization and the humanity that is lost in the process. Also featured in the exhibit is a stunning use of crumbling urban walls as art by VHILS, Stephan Doitschinoff's thought-provoking religious alter, and reactionary prints by the infamous Banksy (the largest collection of his prints to be shown at once). Open until Jan. 2, 2011, the exhibit bravely embraces the unique and risky nature of the ever-changing street art scene, allowing the movement the respect it deserves from the community of art museums. Unique and entirely fitting Of the exhibit's theme, "Viva la Revolución" doesn't limit itself to an indoor setting and includes public commissions throughout downtown San Diego, as well as un-commissioned works on locations secured by the museum. Included in the public displays is a photomural by JR and large-scale murals by OS Gemeos, Stephan Doitschinoff, Shepard Fairey, Invader, and Barry McGee. One can either hit the exhibit first, picking up a street map there (also available at http://wwwjncasandiego. org) to engage in their art treasure hunt, or take two days to explore the two very different art viewing experiences. Many works are within walking distance of the exhibit, two are on the same block, but there are many gorgeous pieces that one would need a car to see, especially Shepard Fairey's beautiful piece in South Park and Stephen Doitschinoff's comparison of Jesus to the inhuman neg- ligence of livestock that appears off of 16th Street in downtown. What the scavenger hunt manages to do, within our clean streets, is create an awareness of all the surrounding art that one may never notice. Instead of traveling through San Diego streets blindly, the public displays cause people to engage with the constant presence of art. While some may go completely unrealized, like Invader's small-scale work with tiles that don't appear on the map, each one causes people to appreciate areas that they may never have noticed before, giving them new landmarks to know their city by and opening a surging dialogue regarding the nature, power, and necessity to the growing of culture that urban art brings.

We are p aying more, and getting less. If the school is not going t o stick to these goals, maybe it is time to reevaluate them and be honest about the fact that the student, the teacher, and the quality of education are not a priority. The email o ffhandedly mentions that this is supposed to help classes. But t his is only a t emporary solution to a growing problem. When I was a f reshman, I did not sign up f or these cutbacks or expect that my campus would so easily discard my desire to l earn. On the CSUSM homepage, our school claims to b e "Roaring into Our 20s." T his must be some kind of j oke. Sure, i t's a milestone, but t here is not much t o celebrate if a fter twenty years the school is cutting back on student p rogress. Now is the t ime to get involved and make s omething happen f or the better. It is t ime to ask of our elected ASI o fficials t o f ight for the s tudents, like they promised us d uring the elections. Every person can get involved by signing up at www.savecsusm.org, where we can rally together to show that we care. If we let these l imits walk all over us, it is going t o keep happening. Those behind them are going to keep cutting back because they know they can. It is t ime to get our heads out of the sand. We cannot be the change our f uture needs if we cannot get a decent education. you can do, two things, either or both of which will definitely make you a happier person and each of which take very little time. First, keep a gratitude journal. A couple of times each week (put these on your weekly calendar), take two minutes and write down 5 things that you feel grateful for at that moment. They can be anything from thè most trivial (like this weather or that bagel), to your feelings about the people who have loved you, to your deepest feelings about God or nature. Write down 5 things, and as you do, try to actually feel the sense of good fortune and gratitude for each of them. That's it! Simple! Second, if you want to try something really powerful, think of one person that you feel very grateful to for being in your life, now or in the past. Write a one-page letter to that person, thanking the person for what s/he has meant And when you do think about to you. Tell him/her specifically these things, and try to picture that why you feel grateful to him/her person or thing vividly, you might and how lucky or blessed you feel also notice a good feeling visiting for his/her presence in your life you as you realize your good for- and how the person you are owes tune and how your life has always so much to him/her. Really get depended on the world. into it, even if it feels "corny" or So here's what the research says "lame." Then, at some point if you can possibly do so, read the letter out loud to that person. If you can't do it face to face, do it on the phone. Guarantee: you will both feel wonderful! So there you go, two simple exercises. Try either one or both. Amazingly, even doing a gratitude journal entry a couple of times a week will, I'm positive, make you a happier person. Counseling Services here at Cal State are available to all students at no charge. You don't have to have a 'mental illness' to see us. Many students come when they are struggling with the common stresses of college life, especially when these are 'getting in the way'. Many students use our services as an opportunity to learn more about themselves and grow as people. Confidential conversations with a professional can be a special opportunity to be completely honest with yourself with someone who won't judge you and who will strive to support your happiness and success. If you would like to make an appointment, call 750-4910.

If this keeps up, students will no longer be able to graduate in four years. BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Adults have always told me the youth are the f uture. Yet once again, the campus wronged the students. The f urloughs and tuition hikes were not enough I suppose, and I am l eft to wonder what kind of f uture is being set up for us. On October 6 ,1 got an email i nforming me that I will only b e able to apply for 13-units this spring. So, despite the extra $624 we all had to pay, and the cutbacks made in class time, we have to bear the burden of a f ailing economy by letting our education s uffer. The only thing more distressing than these cutbacks is the lack of outcry I have seen f rom students. Unless I was the only person emailed, I cannot f ind a reason why we as a student body have not done anything to change this. If you are on the fence or not sure of what is going on, now is the t ime to get f ired up. ssggggg gg g g g website there are f ive, very general and expected goals of a university.

Vice President of University Advancement, Neal Hoss, thanked the signers for their contributions and said that the beam "will be on permanent display" in the building once construction is complete. Karen Haynes, University President said, "It is particu- larly noteworthy that even in these d ifficult fiscal times, we were able to convince our system to provide us through the bond money with f unding to move this project forward." Both speakers mentioned the need for more f unding as well as describing the honor roll and naming o pportunities within the building for all sponsors. Vivian Bennett represented the Social and Behavioral Sciences Faculty. She said faculty in her department "empower citizens by teaching them critical thinking about the common good," and a new building for them will benefit the campus and surrounding community. Chris Devers, chairman of the Pauma Band of Luiseno Indians, reminded attendees, "This i s Luiseno land," and he hoped the building would r eflect that in architecture, Photos by Maeve Camplisson respect for the Earth, and providing an environment for Native American students. Mel Vernon, council member of the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians joined Devers in a ceremonial smudging of white sage t o promote good energy in the building.

We've all heard of the Mozart effect. Studies show that Mozart's compositions administered in daily doses boosts a child's developing intellect. Beethoven allegedly enhances creativity. And best of all, according to the Francis Payne Bolton School of Nursing in Cleveland, listening to Vivaldi post-op will actually promote healing and patient wellbeing. Current musical stylings like hip-hop and the endless variants of rock do little to advance relaxation or IQs. Besides, the only classical music present in the 21st century seems to be snippets of Debussy's Claire de Lune or an abridged version of J.C. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in car commercials (travesty, I know). So, knowing how beneficial classical composition seems to be, why aren't there modern composers and musicians perpetuating this positivity? There are, I promise. The "golden age" of classical music may have come and gone, but there is a man versed in classical repertoire breathing new life into the field. Matt Haimovitz, a 38-yearold cellist born in Israel, made his performance debut at 13 as a soloist with the Israel Philharmonic after intense training in Palo Alto, California by the world-renowned cellist Irene Sharp. At 17, Haimovitz and his family moved back to the States and he performed with the Chicago and New York Philharmonic orchestras. He also signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft, a German classical record company, and received several awards for his work with the label. In 1996, upon graduation from Harvard, he terminated his contract with Deutsche Grammophon out of a desire to explore non-standard styles of classical music. His variations were a success in (of all places) rock venues, and he went on to found his own record label, Oxingale. Haimovitz does not record any original works. In his newest approach, he creates variants of established pieces by modern artists like Elliott Carter, Ana Sokolovic, and Steven Stucky, and infuses them with electronic styling. Haimovitz's most recent release, Figment, is the perfect album to help temper your tastes if you aren't ready to dive head first into a symphony. The album's first track, "Figlude," is a pulsating hybrid of synth hits mixed with a cello piece by composer Socalled. Though Haimovitz's real claim to fame is his incredible Image courtesy ofAshmont Records technical skill, his innovative approach toward classical music bridges the musical generation gap between the 19th and 21st centuries.

Faris may never reach the comedic heights of a Lucille Ball, but that doesn't lessen the solid talent she consistently brings to the screen. She has great timing and a real gift for comedy,fromsatire to slapstick. In this film, a group of sorority nerdettes might lose their house due to a lack of pledges. The Playboy mansion, Shelley's home, sends her away through the underhanded work of arivalbunny. As she wanders the streets not knowing what to do or where to go, she ends up finding her real place at the Zeta sorority house. The plot here is fairly derivative, but the writers Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith did a very nice job misdirecting the viewer enough to keep the moviefreshand interesting. The supporting cast of nerdettes are exactly what one might expect in this type of film, and their transformationfromthe unseen to the must be seen also travels tried and true storylines, but it is perhaps this familiarity which allows the view«* to connect more easily with the protaganistas. Interjected are just enough truly comic bits, such as when Shelly is helping to makeover the girls and she instructs them with the deepest sincerity that they must use makeup to showcase their eyes for4 the eyes are the nipples ofthe face." Certainly not a film that requires deep reflection, but there is more than enough rentable fimm this fihiitomakertworth a view. "What to See" *** "The Mighty Boosh" is written by and starring Julian Barratt as Howard Moon and Noel Fielding as Vince Noir in a Britcom television program which combines comedy, fantasy and musicatelements. Hmm, how do I communicate the sounds and images that leapfromthe screen while watching this show? That is a tough assignment. Fielding plays a character named Richmond on my favorite Britcom "The IT Crowd" and it is for that reason alone that I took a shot at this show. After having watched the first season of Boosh, I am still watching and still am not quite sure why I am watching or more precisely what it Tuesday, October 13, 2 009 is I am watching. The comedy is not particularly sharp. Acting is over the top and likely this is intentional. The story lines are straight from the dream states of the writers. The sets and costumes are equally cheesy and outlandish. Perhaps it is like taking a journey into the sleeping mind of Lewis Carroll or Edgar Allen Poe only less sophisticated. It is entertaining for sure, and at times more than a bit disturbing. If for no other reason, watch it at least one time, for it is truly like nothing you have ever seen before. You might even enjoy the musical segment, which can be the best part of the show. So for that reason alone I would rate this as a "What to See" somewhere between * and ****, your guess is as good as mine.

If the cardigan is too thick and bulky y ou'll not only risk looking like Mr. Rogers, but you'll also limit its versatility.

You can't go wrong when layering with a cardigan, so pick one in your favorite color and wear it everywhere. When purchasing a cardigan there are several things to look for.

Forethought and planning resulted in a relatively orderly beginning to the evening, as those in charge had set up a viewing room for those not fortunate enough to get into the main room. The overflow room offered the presentation via closed circuit television. Dr. Jonathan S. Marion, an on campus professor of Anthropology, presented the event, "Meanings in Motion." Dr. Marion's focus is on Visual Anthropology as it applies to Ballroom dance. He is no mere scientific observer, he is also an enthusiastic participant. One might wonder i f such a deep involvement in the field one studies might cloud scientific judgment, but in the case of Dr. Marion, this involvement leads to a deeper insight and better understanding of the subject at hand rather than conflict. Dr. Marion is easy to spot on campus with his uptempo stride, short ponytail and neatly trimmed doorknocker facial hairstyle. He is very approachable, knowledgeable, and dare I say stylish. On this evening he brought everything he had t o the presentation along with a mild nervous swaying during the presentation.

The IDSF currently has a presence with National Member Federations in 86 countries. Following the lecture, the audience finally got what they came for as three separate dance couples, and another group with four female dancers demonstrated what the IDSF is all about. Performing four of the standard dances from IDSF competition were dance partners Paul, Cloud and Borbala Bunnett who beautifully and gracefully danced the Waltz, the Tango, the Foxtrot, and the Viennese Waltz. Dazzling beaded costumes, changed between dances added to the majesty of the moment. Not to be outdone, Serena Cuevas of Deseo Dance Company in San Diego showed off some very hot Latin moves with her dance partner Anthony. Husband and wife team David and Jennifer of Majesty in Motion also turned up the heat with some passionate Salsa moves of their own. On this night of great dancing and entertainment there was not one star, but a small constellation as everyone involved lit up the night and left a little stardust in the memories of everyone in the audience.

Namely, the International Hall, or "Building 15," as it is sometimes called, is on schedule to be ready for use by next fall. When completed, the four-story, 150room building will cover 71,000 square feet. Its construction cost, $11.2 million, is completely funded by the state. Project Superintendent Bob Boyles calls it a "smart building" because it is "highly upgraded." Unless you count the six rattlesnakes that Boyles and his crew have discovered so far, the only construction snag was last year when four times more rocks than anticipated had to be excavated to start the building's foundation. No one has been hurt on the project so far, even by the rattlesnakes. Tom Blair, director of Facility Services, was pleased by the on-schedule construction rate. "We are expecting the building to befinishedsometime in July of '98 and have it ready before the fall semester of the same year," he said. That will definitely be a major help next year, when an estimated 533 more students are expected to be enrolled at CSUSM, which is already badly overcrowded. Originally, four new campus buildings were envisioned by next fall. But, because of the failure of a statewide bond referendum in 1994, International Hall is the only one on which ground will be even broken. This year, there are roughly 4,400 students on campus, including 3,440 full-time equivalents, 300 more than last year. In order to qualify for state funding, CSU universities need to fulfill an enrollment target mandated by the state. Since CSUSM is only 80 students above its 3,360 target for tins fall, Richard Reihl, executive director of Enrollment Services, said "We won't be growing at all next semester because we don't want to over crowd our classrooms too much." But, he added, "We feel pretty good about our enrollment for the fall." This year, CSUSM stopped accepting admission applications on June 16. "We had a higher percentage of continuous students this semester than we had expected," Reihl said, adding that the university also needed to enroll some 300 students who werefrozenout when San Diego State University closed its admissions even earlier than CSUSM. "Predicting students' behavior towards enrollment is particularly difficult in a young institution because you don't have a lot of history to rely on," Reihl said. ii liiili SiWEasft VOICE,«.»JPa«E 7 HlwHHM hm ENTERTAINMENT. . . , .

It's hard cash. And it's waiting JLfor Cal State San Marcos students in the Financial Aid-Scholarship Office. What's the catch? Students have to need the money to get it. And, they will have to move fast, like by Oct. 23, to take advantage of a new, simplified application process. There are 14 scholarships available, 12 of them funded by private groups, two by the state. To be eligible for each, students need to fill out only one application, since CSUSM is one of the few universities to offer the General Scholarship Application. Anyone filling it out automatically will be considered for any scholarship available. The application itself is simple, but the rest of the process takes a litde more work. In addition to submitting a two-page essay describing accomplishments, financial needs and adversities overcome, students m m are urged to include up to three letters of recommendation in order to be considered for all available scholarships. In the past, students applying for schol- Only a few hundred of the 4,670 CSUSM students have taken advantage of the process so far, according to Kirsti Serafine, CSUSM scholarship coordinator. "Too few students know about the General Scholarship Application," she said. "We try to get the word out with flyers and at orientation. I don't understand why students aren't taking advantage of this great opportunity." One student said part of the problem is confusion over the definition of financial need. "I don't want to waste my time applying because I got a letter saying I wasn't eligible f or grant aid," he added. "This means I 'm not eligible for a scholarship, right?" No, according to Gerrie Hatten, assistant director of financial aid. "Anyone can get a scholarship," she added. "The bulk of our scholarships are need-based, but just because someone i sn't awarded grant aid arships had to fill out separate applications d oesn't mean they d on't have financial for each, plus separate essays.

Where 1 / V / oh where can it be. It's still somewhere out there, T T but it's getting a lot closer, according to Terra Beauchamp, child care director for Associated Students, Inc. "We are currently investigating the leasing of an existing center near campus," she said, adding that the service could begin by next semester. CSUSM child care, which has been in the planning stage seemingly since the university was founded eight years ago, is critical to the academic plans for a number of students, some of whom have been told for the last four years that it "is coming." Though most of the details of the university's arrangement cannot be released until final approval is reached, Beauchamp said the center under consideration, which is within a mile of campus, is currently licensed to house 64 children. The service, for children aged 2 to 5, would be available from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and would include full and part-time care. But no drop-in care would be provided. Fees would be lower than the "market rate," according to Beauchamp, and would run approximately $20 a day. The university's long-term plans call for opening an oncampus facility within the next few years. The site, near the present Public Safety Office, already has been selected. Associated Students, Inc., will be required to pay the estimated. $500,000 cost of building a road to the facility, according to Alex Ramirez, the group's vice president for internal affairs. "We are actively soliciting donors," said Ramirez. A private donor had been lined up to cover that cost but backed out when former President Bill Stacy departed for Tennessee last summer, he added. But even if private donors can be found to cover the road costs, Ramirez said, the university has not guaranteed funding to build the center. The need for child care is perhaps more acute at CSUSM than other state universities. According to Carmen Villa at Enrollment Services, the median age for CSUSM students is 28.7, several years higher than at most other CSU campuses. Beauchamp estimates that as many as 160 CSUSM students may need the service. There is some tangible, immediate relief for students who need the service. Currently, 15 $500 scholarships are available this semester to qualified students. Those interested are urged to contact the Financial Aid office as soon as possible, since the application deadline is Nov. 3. Beauchamp said she also needs volunteers to serve on the committee dealing with child care issues. Anyone interested can phone her at (760) 750-4990, or e-mail her at beauc002@mailhostl .csusm.edu. Need a check cashed, apaper faxed, a discount movie ticket, a bus pass or just a stamp? You can get them all at the Associated Students Center (Commons 205). The center's new executive director, Darlene Willis, said her goal is to provide service to CSUSM students while promoting awareness of campus issues. "The average age of students here is between 27 and 28, and many work full-time and have families," she said. "We must consider this when setting up programs so we can assist in areas of greatest concern. Check-cashing is the center's most popular new service. Even though there is an ATM on campus, the minimum withdrawal is $20. Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), will cash checks for up to $15freeat the center. All that's needed is a picture I.D. and student card. Willis says the center's immediate goal is to be recognized as the student voice of the campus. "We want to make the transition into campus life as smooth and successful as possible, and we hope to be a resource center throughout the college careers of our students." The center also provides 15 child-care scholarships, plus entry to the university's intramural sports program. The center can provide advice on how to save when buying a computer. Willis says representatives also are talk- see Student Center page 3 �Student Center ing with local merchants to provide discounts on other merchandise. The Student Lounge (Commons 201) also may be changed, Willis says. It's now used furnished with a few tables, TV, microwave, and a couple of couches. Willis says the center is looking for suggestions on how to improve both its focus and furnishings. Associated Students is composed of representatives from every CSUSM college, including graduate studies, who are charged with learning the wants and concerns of students to pass along to the ASI board. Continued from Page 2 Open-forum sessions for students to voice their views are routinely held at the beginning of ASI meetings every other Friday at 2 p.m. Notice of meetings, agendas and minutes of meetings can be requested by email. Though the center's hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., night students can set up appointments by calling the center in advance at (760) 750-4990. "Students are the lifeblood of this university. They pay our salaries and deserve the best we can provide," Wilis says. Student Health Services FLU CLINICS II.'

TuJLition and books may take a big bite out of your spending money, but it is possible to bite back. Just use CSUSM's student ID card to get a free taco, save big dollars on software or just save 10 percent on regular purchases at many area establishments. Many theaters, restaurants and clubs offer student rates or freebies. Darlene Willis of Associated Students suggests that students pick up a Student Guidebook in the Associated Students office in Commons 205. "There are a lot of coupons in there," said Willis. "Students should come by and see what's offered." The guidebook offers such coupons as 2- for-1 free lunches at Carl's Jr., KFC, and Rally's. Or a $1.99 lunch at Subway. Or free popcorn at Pacific Theaters. In addition, many other local theaters have student rates. Just show your student ID. For the ultimate relaxation, spend a day at the Wild Animal Park or San Diego Zoo. A student pass is available for $22 and is good for an entire year. More goodies are in the works, according to Willis. The Associated Students aie looking into half-price discounts from Knotts Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Sea World, Family Fun Centers, Magic Mountain and Disneyland. Many of these will require bulk ticket purchases by the college (25 or more), so Willis suggests students drop by her office to express their interest. �Do You Have What it Takes? WE WANT Y OU!

K NOX f T ^ h e villain enters ever so quietly and so quickly that most people remain oblivious to its presence. Once J L inside and undetected, it is free to wander to do more damage. Every year, more than 184,000 women fall victim to breast cancer and approximately 44,300 pay for their ignorance with their lives. Breast cancer, incidentally, is not a disease afflicting women only: Some 1,400 men are diagnosed with it annually, a low figure, but one that is certainly not inconsequential. Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it's timely to remind everyone that self-examination can be critical. Some 90 percent of those diagnosed with the disease in its early stages survice. And, self-examination is not that difficult. No one is too young to be a victim. The Seattle Breast Cancer Center recommends that every woman have a clinical breast exam s tardn^j^^^^^flisk increases dramatically with age: i ^ ^ p l ^ W ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ a n Cancer Society, a 2 0-year^jpas a probability o f ' 1 ^ ^ 5 0 0 of devel- 40 or o ldJpave a 10-year probability of 1 Reseaifgjfers in Norway followed the h ealtWf 25,000 women (||pr a nine-year period to determine | |§in active lifestyle l ^ p s block breast cancer.

Of course, the n ^ ^ K exerdse, the better" Exercise has been p rovei|i| help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of diabetes. So, where breast cancer is concerned, let's face it: It can't hurt. Knowing . .. and following . .. a three-step examination is essential to fight breast cancer: (1) See your health care provider for a clinical breast exam every three years, starting at age 20. (2) Examine your breasts every month, two or three days after your period. (3) Get a baseline mammogram at age 40 and have one every year thereafter. Nobody knows what causes breast cancer or how to prevent it: yet. The American Cancer Society has come up with key factors shown to increase breast cancer risk, including estrogen levels, pregnancy after age 35 or not at all, late menopause, personal and family history, obesity, excessive alcohol use and excessive diet fat. Smoking, miscarriage and hormonal replacement therapy are potential factors still under investigation. Regardless of the cause, early detection is the best de fense. Ask the more han 1.6 million breast cancer survivors. T Tt's easy to rationalize. You think: it's only a CD. Or a I late-night pizza. Or a T-shirt—which, by the way, IS J Lon sale. What harm could it do to charge it or write that check? Unfortunately, spending on seemingly small purchases, o ften non-emergency i tems, can add up quickly and - . .... throw budgets into h avoc, say debt counselors. That's why stuJ dents should get in J | | the habit now of taking s teps to cut | J | spending and reduce their debt, says Tess Van Duvall, debt management consultant at Emory University. Laying a f oundation f or good f inancial health while in college can make life easier after graduation, she says. Whether they are 18-year-old freshmen getting their first credit card or among the older students returning to campus, many students in college find themselves facing an array of financial obligations, says Van Duvall. "Students need to realize that they are entering a time of limited income and maximum expenditures, so cutting costs in lots of areas can only add to theirfinancialwell-being," she says. Van Duvall gives the following tips on how students can better manage their finances and avoid long-term debt during those early career years: • Eliminate or reduce credit card balances. "As a student with limited income, the last thing you need is to be paying past debts," says Van Duvall. • If you have a credit card or student a loan, learn how to read a credit report. "If there are errors on your credit card report, they need to be corrected, because it can affect your credit card rating and even keep you from getting lower interest rate loans," says Van Duvall. Many lending organizations are adopting a practice called "credit scoring," which judges each individual student borrower, instead of lumping s tudents from one university into the same financial l ending category. With credit scoring, says Van Duvall, "one 30-day late p ayment can I ff make a difference in Hf your interest rate." • Be aware of credit card annual interest rates, and remember the real cost ofusing a credit card. "When students are tempted to make a $1,000 purchase with a credit card, they should remember that the annual interest on even a 12 percent APR card pushes the price to $1,120," says Van Duvall. "Always think of the total cost of a purchase and ask, 'Do I still want this?"^ • If you can eat it, wear it or listen to it, it isn't an emergency and shouldn't be put on credit. • If possible, pay more than the minimum monthly payments to creditors. Van Duvall also advises students to be budget conscious about little things, such as buying frozen pizza instead of take-out, taking advantage of on-campus and free entertainment, and sending e-mail versus making long-distance calls. But her No. 1 piece of advice to students is to get a roommate instead of renting alone. A savings of $300-$400 a month on rent over a three- or four-year period adds up to big bucks, she says, and can keep you from having to borrow more heavily to make ends meet. l lpifcM-stayingan I budget mmrnmmmm �m iili iijm-Sjijj^Sj • • JJJ sjfters.

How surwould change his mind. It was worth a try. prised I was to see everyone so attentive, so interested. So I enrolled as a full time student, a freshman in my late seventies. What a silly fool, I thought, to go to such lengths many questions were asked about this and that I could have just to impress a youth who had no interest. I did have the spent the next class answertime now and seemed to have enough energy. Why not? I ing. The dark cloud of fear tossed this notion around for an entire summer before I became brighter, I began to made the decision and then jumped in head first with a feel like their classmate.

Will they think I'm just an young people, I was both old fogey trying to butt into their world? I waited with delighted and inspired to them in the admission line, until my turn came, then I find such a mature, sensible group. They were intelligent stepped out and went to the rear again. It was scary! Fi- and down-to-earth and I was glad to know that society of nally, everyone was gone but me and I reluctantly walked the fcture would be in good hands. Most of the students I came to know and appreciate are young men and women up to the counter and enrolled. with standards to be admired. My first class was a mix of students who looked young Do you have any idea how difficult biology is after alenough to be starting high school, and I was a senior, senior, far older than even my teacher.

Many questioned me about things I had experienced that were helpful in our studies. I became a sort of fatherfigure,especially in history. My efforts were rewarded with A's and B's for three of my classes.

CSUSM's new p resident, Alexander Gonzalez, recently established a Web site that is one of the first applications of this new technology. The site uses an innovative mix of Internet media that makes a visit to his "Virtual Office" not only informative, but fast, easy, and entertaining. The president's page features a fiveminute video update that uses Vxtreme. The plan is to record a new update every two weeks to keep the campus community informed. Most importantly, it can be accessed by personal computers using the popular Windows95 and Macintosh operating systems, although performance requirements do limit its use to newer machines. CSUSM multimedia specialist Chuck Allen hopes to use streaming web video to provide classes over the WWW. In the past, such videos were too large and time-consuming to download over the web. It just was not a practical application for most computers. Using streaming video, most modern PC's with a 28.8 modem can download videos and other graphics relatively rapidly. The software also has random access capabilities. So, for example, if someone wants to listen to the portion of the president's presentation on the budget, the viewer can skip to that specific part of the video with the touch of a button. First-time users must first install a plugin for the popular Netscape or Internet Explorer web browsers to use the streaming video capability. But the process is simple. Other information on the president's Web page includes a legislative update with photos of Gonzalez' recent trip to Sacramento. The text of recent speeches to the community is also available. The site was developed as part of the president's goal to improve and clarify communication on the campus. Vxtreme, Inc. of Sunnyvale, California (www.vxtreme.com), the developer of the Vxtreme product, was recently acquired by Microsoft Corporation and is in the process of moving to their Redmond, Washington site. Viewers can find Virtual Office, which will be updated regularly, at: h ttp:// www.csusm.edu/President/ THE FRONT ROW? ARE YOU KIDDING? ;h, Why do you g o to class? Hopefully the answer is somewhat obvious. Think through it for a minute thougl because the next rr Question may not be Quite s o easy. Here goes: Why would you care enough to g o to class but not sit up EFont? In most college classes you can sit wherever you want, but the perennial location of choice seems to be in the back half of the classroom. Itthere are five (or fifty) empty seats, they will invariably be in the first few rows, with none open in the rear. If you care enough to show up. foregoing very meaningful opportunities, such as sleep, why wouldn't you attempt to get the absolute most out of it? if it relates to your - image." give it up. People who get ereat jobs after graduation are infinitely more "hip" than those asking "would you like to super-size that, sir?" in their first job out of school. Believe it or not. there is good reason to believe that sitting up front may lead to better career options. There are actual research studies that show that students who sit in front get better grades than students who hug the back wall. They are forced to pay attention, as it is tough to fall asleep if you're 10 feet from the prof. Front row types tend to ask more Questions, receiving immediate clarification on points of confusion. And guess what - their professors will recognize them (and know that they regularly come to class) if they g o in to negotiate a better grade on a test ^ or assignment. Sure it may be more difficult to work a crossword puzzle rient under a professors nose, but that's exactly tne point. You're not in school to leam the six letter word for "nose hair." You're there to get a practical education that leads to a decent career. cIouit Making So if you're going to g o to class, front and center is the place to be.

CSUSM names first Fenstermaker scholarships SUSM recently named the first nine recipients of the Fenstermaker Foundation's scholarships. Each student received between $4,400 and $7,000 for a total of $55,000. By far the largest scholarships at CSUSM, a highly competitive process was developed to select the best and brightest students. This year's recipients are: Elaine De Los Santos, a junior in computer science from Oceanside Shannon Halloff, a junior in biology from San Marcos Trenton Norris, a junior in biology from Vista Cheyenne Reyes, afreshmanin biology from Escondido Aimee Reynolds, a junior in biologyfromCamp Pendleton Tracy Ross, a junior in biology from Bonsall Joseph Spirito, a freshman in computer science from Oceanside Roberta Sweeney, a senior in biology from Aliso Viejo Patricia Wade, a junior in biology from Encinitas The prestigious scholarships were funded by Larry and Neva Fenstermaker, who established the Foundation with the primary purpose of benefitting CSUSM. The Fenstermakers were among the first residents of Rancho Bernardo, moving therefromPoint Loma in 1963. Larry Fenstermaker was a retired printing and publications executive who died at age 91 in 1995. His wife of more than 50 years, Neva, died in 1994. They did not have any children. Neither Larry nor Neva were able to go to college for financial reasons. They valued education and wanted to • give bright students the opportunities that they did not have. They established the Fenstermaker Foundation to achieve this goal. Each year the interest earned on the money they donated will go to scholarships for needy and deserving students in the areas of biology, chemistry, or computer science. -CSUSM- DON'T RUSH A FRATERNITY, START YOUR OWN!

But life didn't always flow so smoothly for the Salvadoran native. As a young girl, her middle-class family sent her to the United States to further her education. "As a child, I left San Salvador to go school in Missouri and live on a dairy farm," she said. "It was very different from what I was used to. I was the only Latina in a town of 2,000. Not only was I Latina, but I was Catholic, which was considered very strange in a state that was predominantly Protestant and Baptist." After school, Benitez Continued living in the United States, teaching Spanish and English at both high school and university levels. She also worked as a translator for a training company in Minnesota that required extensive travel to Latin America. Burnout ensued.

Enterprise rent-a-car �Soul Food continued from page 11 respects all the hot-tempered adults in his family. He's just a good kid all around. Despite his pre-adolescent age, he's more levelheaded than any of the adults in his family. During the sometimes-comical turbulence, Ahmad's maturity keeps you empathetic; his narrative voice is a constant reminder that he's not immune to pain. The point of view is cleverly shifted throughout, maintaining both Ahmad's innocence and a level of necessary reality, such as bits of "behind-the-scenes" sex and violence. The way the characters fit loosely into stereotypical family roles provides for a point of reference that just about anyone can relate to. You've got the sibling rivalry going in a big way. Ten (Vanessa L. Williams), the oldest sister, is a successful lawyer but a flop at relationships. Maxine (Vivica A. Fox), the middle child, is a happy wife and mother, albeit less educationally and financially endowed The two are quick to point out what the other lacks, whether it's over the dinner table or over grandma's hospital bed. You've also got the well-meaning-but airheaded baby sister (Nia Long), nicknamed 'Bird.' No sooner does Bird turn around in her trendy hair salon, but her unsolicited favors backfire in her face. Among other things, with one of these favors, she inadvertently questions the manliness of her bad-boy-turned-good-husband. Then, of course, what family would be complete without the sleazy relative (in this case a cousin) who ducks in and out of the city just long enough to borrow some money and/or destroy a few marriages. It soon becomes clear this family is anything but typical as one by one the characters break out of their stereotypical shells. The passionate, opinionated people differ from most in that they don't bite tongues. The dramatics begin in the hilarious opening scene with Big Mama's remedy to prevent her newly wedded son-in-law from dancing with his scantily clad ex. Ironically, the same fried food that binds this tumultuous bunch provokes an illness in Big Mama, scattering the relatives into immediate family chaos. The family is then put to the test, but, try as they may, Big Mama's peacekeeping antics just aren't as easy to pull off. The film borders on comball with the inclusion of a 'hidden fortune' cliche, but it's easily overlooked with the characters and their dialogue. The film's also got a great soundtrack, with lots of Babyface, some Boyz II Men, Take the next step m your educational career now.

X I N 0.5 v CSUSM Students Speak On Schwarzenegger CFA By MELISSA RODRTGT1F7. By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter Ever since voters decided to hold California's first ever recall election everyone has been talking, debating, predicting and being entertained by all the media chatter. The whole nation was watching. Would Gray Davis retain his j ob as Governor? Or would voters choose one of the 135 candidates running against him? Now the election is over, when the official results are announced, Davis will hand the reigns of the state over to Gov.-elect, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now, election buzz is dying down and CSUSM students hope that Gov. Schwarzenegger will do right by them. "I really hope that he does well, not because I like the guy, but because I'd like to see the conditions in California improve," said James Nguyen, a third year political science and economics major. Nguyen was against the recall and did not support Schwarzenegger as a candidate. " I hope things will change, I hope .. ... Am^ „ — schools get funding and that they don't cut classes because education is important." said Angela Morgan a business major who voted for Schwarzenegger. CSUSM students had differing reactions to the results of the r^irjSBf!^' m election. Some students are confident that voters have made the right decision in voting for Schwarzenegger. "I think he's well qualified to govern. I think he can step up and battle the issues, he has the charisma, he is forceful and able to do what he wants." said student Mike Markarian. "I'm glad he won because California is so f ar to the left any movement towards the right is a positive" saidMandy Schatzinger, a communications major in her junior year. "I don't think he's the sharpest tool in the shed but he's what California needs."

FEATim mmm Urges Change, Budget Management By JONATHAN RODLEY Editor in Cheif While budget cuts gouge the California State University (CSU) system, students and teachers are on the lookout to make sure their needs are met. Classroom instruction, class size, and funding are now protected by provisions made by the California Faculty Association (CFA). The CFA created a document in July 2003 to direct how the brunt of the budget should b e assigned at campus facilities. Along with the 2003-404 budget, the CSU chancellor sent the document to campus |$ administrators before the fall semester started. If need be, the chancellor said he would investigate and correct administrators that didn't follow the guidelines. At CSUSM some teachers think that administration isn't doing enough. "They George Diehr really haven't come to grips with the severity of the cuts " said George Diehr, CSUSM chapter president for the CFA. The CFA's document, called the Supplemental Report Language (SRL), protects undergraduate and graduate instruction. It w as adopted by the legislative budget committees and promotes cooperation between the CFA and the CSU. See B UDGET M ANAGEMENT, p age 2 Clubs Hindered By Copy Right Laws By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StaffWriter Various clubs show documentaries on campus in order to attract and inform students of issues that they represent, however, because of Copy Right Laws and budget cuts these film showings have been impacted. The documentaries are vital to the livelihood of these organizations on campus. "It cost an estimated $400 to buy public ownership of a given film. The question becomes which clubs will receive money, and how much?" said Jonathon Poullard, dean of student affairs. Because of the cost of distribution rights and Student Residential Life's (SRL) indecision to allocate funds, campus organizations have not yet shown a film this semester.

Due t o t he e ffects of California's budget crisis, there is a continual impact on student involvement at Cai State San Marcos. With t he large cut backs to California State Universities, there is not enough money to p ay for the distribution f ights of these films. Pollard added that SRL can only supply a limited amount of money t o f und these films. Erik Roper, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) vice president and external vice president f or the Progressive Activist Network (PAN), mentioned t hree ways t o get approval of a film's copy rights. Roper said, " SRL told u s that we can do one of t hree things: —Pay each company the $400 t o show a movie; —Get a letter of approval f rom each company; —Have professors list films as p art of their syllabi. Poullard, however, says t he films would (legally) only b e made available t o the students of Budget Management continuedfrompage 1 "It puts primacy on education and requires administration t o report on these issues," Diehr said. The SRL gives priority t o the needs of classroom instruction while requiring reduction in administrative costs. I n California, the general f und f or the CSU decreased 11 percent f or the 2003-2004 budget, according to the CSU website. " There's going t o have t o b e t rimming," said Interim President Roy McTarnaghan. " The needs of student courses are our number one priority - getting t hem t o graduate on £ime is number one." McTarnaghan said that despite limitations on enrollment, CSUSM has more students and less money. "None of u s are thrilled the states e cono my is in t he situation i t's in, but we're all working e ffectively. «ür=F . P said.e h r McTarnaghan Di however, reckoned the e ffects of budget cuts and t hinks changes need to b e made in handling the budget. The CFA urges s taff and students to monitor their campus to ensure that the CSU complies with t he SRL. They provide a " to d o" list on how to monitor budget compliance at the CFA website. At CSUSM, among other things, the budget forced student f ee increases, class size increases, and also p art time lecturers were laid o ff. The CFA is very concerned about the e ffect on lecturers Diehr said. "Many of these teachers need to pay the rent and pay for food." Although t he budget h as had numerous impacts on students and s taff, the CFA recognized e fforts made by administration. "We're pleased with some steps, but we believe much more needs t o b e done," Diehr said. Diehr is also a professor of management science f or t he college of business administration. He said he sees t he potential f or improvement in how the college of business manages their estimated expenses. He said that officers those classes, not t o t he entire campus." These measures will cost students ample time, energy and money. Roper said that Swank Motion Pictures sells distribution rights of movies t o various institutions and colleges f or a m inimal cost. Roper and others would like t o see Cal State San Marcos get an institution p ass with Swank t o show films at a reduced price. Poullard agrees that there m ay b e a better solution that will help t o eliminate the tedious phone calls, large bake sells and car "have not touched the administrative p art of the budget." Regina Eisenbach, associate dean for the college o f business administration said, " It's premature t o draw that conclusion at this point. We have j ust received our fall 2003 budget so no prior decisions have been made." The SRL states that prior t o reducing classes, student services and library f unding, colleges must reduce administrative costs. " The college of business is sticking t o the supplemental language report to the best of our knowledge," Eisenbach said. She added that the college of business may or may not b e representative of other colleges. At this point however, Diehr said that there is "need f or real substantial changes." H e said that administration I R HRBVl • HB K k I f* it If i H II h asn't realized t he severity of the cuts and that t he s tructure and size of management must b e changed. " San Marcos h as t oo many mid level m anagers," D iehr said. " They're still t rying to m ake changes at t he margin -- increasing class sizes and terminating lectures." Diehr also said t he foundation could b e doing more f undraising t o address the budget crisis. Another goal of the SRL is to u se alternative f unding to help lessen t he impact of budget reductions. Diehr said that the foundation should be borrowing f unds and looking for more people to donate to CSUSM. " There is no magic bullet for this budget situation and we can expect increasing costs if not more budget cuts," Diehr said.

A vaccination works by injecting a healthy subject with antigens, who in response develop antibodies to battle the foreign threat. Thereby, your body produces immunities to the more dangerous version of the antigen, the pathogen itself. Usually vaccinations are constructed to take care of A or B strains of the sickness. But as the Influenza virus mutates or alters over time, it is necessary to get a new vaccination every year. To contact the Student Health Services, please call (760) 750-4915.

Unfortunately, the turnout was poor and the students who did Like so many other young females show their faces were the same ones you before me, I discovered the complete lack see at every on-campus event. of campus life at Cal State San Marcos These students acknowledge the lack of during my first semester here. a social scene on campus. They see this That was after the first several men I not as a problem with the atmosphere here approached told me about the significance at Cal State, but rather within the student body. "I look out and see people sitting in their cars during breaks on campus and that is ridiculous... This is a time to meet people and make lifelong friends; this isn't accomplished by removing yourself f rom the campus community" said Brett Gladys, student coordinator of the Programming Board. Gladys mentioned that it is essential to build a community on campus, but that students r efuse to involve themselves in the activities and programs here. Besides a lack of activities on campus, women have noticed that many of the single men here are unapproachable. Men on this campus often objectify women and go for those who are pretty, shallow, and generally subtract f rom the bank of human knowledge when they speak. This dynamic of male personality influences women to act the part of the easy superficial girl in order to get the guys. It's a never-ending circle with the result being that the singles here develop shallow relationships with equally shallow partners. Many singles on campus worry about pretensions, styles, impressions, and putting on fronts. What we really need to be concerned about is constructing a campus community and opening ourselves up to meet new people. Our goal should be creating a sense of belonging here at Cal State San Marcos. Albeit disappointing in attendance, the speed dating event did o ffer a solution to the crisis. Through more activities that promote relationships we will have life on this campus. Through more effort from the students we can create a campus spirit which encourages interaction. As Gladys said, "be the spirit you wish to see on campus."

On his way to class, he met up with his friend Mike Flores and they walked together to their psychology class. When asked about the class he said "It's cool and it's easy for me and it's fascinating sometimes because it opens up my mind to new i deas" A fter that, he met up with new friends and went on to his calculus class, where his lack of sleep was beginning to catch up with him. "She (his teacher) writes fast and I was falling asleep. I didn't get any sleep in the last week," he said. Back in his dorm, Ronnie made chicken quesadillas, worked on homework with his friend Mike and watched "Porky's" with his roommate Aaron Koop. He walked to his last class of the day with his friend Mike, turned in his homework and went to the ASI Homecoming celebration outside. He saw his academic advisor and went back to his dorm room. Gratefully Ronnie slept for twenty minutes and went to work. Ronnie works at a convenience store on campus. At work, he danced to the music in the store and made his fellow Have you ever been sitting next to people in class and stopped to wonder about their lives? Who are they? Do they share the same interests as you? What is college like for them? For the next few issues, I plan on interviewing random students here at CSUSM and asking them those very same questions. You will get a chance to see what a normal day is like for other college students and how they cope with their .own home and college lives. Ronnie Swaim is an eighteen-year-old freshman here at CSUSM and one of the pioneer dorm residents on campus. He has many hobbies, including snowboarding, wakeboarding, motorcycling, and go-cart racing. One of his favorite hobbies is making new friends. "I love to talk," he explained to me, " I used to be really shy, but I 'm not as shy right now, because I don't know anybody at school, but I 'm still shy around girls at first." It was Monday night and Ronnie had agreed to his interview in my dorm room on the floor below his. Already an acquaintance of my roommates Erin and Ashley, he and his own roommates were on their way down to hang out with them. With a room f ull of noisy roommates, we agreed to grab some chairs, and sit on the f ar side of the kitchen, a little out of the range of noise. I asked him about his day and this is how he began. Ronnie woke up at 8:30 Monday morning and was really tired. He stayed up late with other dorm residents and was finding it very difficult to wake up. He had been up since 1 a.m. dancing with his roommates and friends. Ronnie talked about it: "I was hyper and really in a dancing mood because I 'm excited about the (Masquerade Ball). We started listening to music and two girls came over, so I started dancing and they were dancing and everyone was laughing because we were moving to the beat and I started dancing with them. "A couple of my favorite dance songs came up and we had a contest about who could dance the smuttiest. Michael Jackson came on and I started doing my Michael Jackson impression and we ended up getting three noise complaints. J uris D octor "We stopped playing the music so loud, but we began running around because we were all on a triple dose of coffee. A fter that JD/PhD - History or Political S cience we settled down and watched L IM - Trial A dvocacy "The Recruit". Around 1 p.m. I MZlfllM - Comparative Law went to bed and everyone left."

"I was Labor and Employment Law going to wear a collard shirt, but chose a t-shirt i nstead" he said. He went on to explain MISSION-FOCUSED CENTERS that he likes his collard shirts, but they're not as comfortable as his t-shirts and when he's tired, he feels more relaxed in a t-shirt. In a hurry, he grabbed a Gatorade and a nutra-grain employees laugh. A fter work, he went to Home Depot with his roommate Aaron and bought plants and appliances to decorate the float that was being designed for the Dorms. He worked on homework and then came to my dorm to visit my roommates, where he began his interview with me. A fter the rundown of his day, I felt like I was in a whirlwind. "You did all that in one day?" I asked him. " Yes" he answered, "and I have two papers due tomorrow for class!" He looked at the clock in our kitchen. "It's 10:15 and I still have to write them," he said. I asked him if he would be starting on them soon. "Maybe" he answered.

CALIFORNIA WESTERN : Hi Bit If IIW S N DIGO A A 8A 1982 A AtS 1867 WWWX9lifornisWest0rn.edu �Hail To The OMBUDSMAN By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman One of the interesting aspects of the position of Ombudsman is that I am not required to necessarily agree with what our paper is doing. As such, I am not terribly distraught over our content or the direction our paper is heading; rather, there are minor problems that we overcome weekly and improve with each issue. One such problem I see is the manner in which we are handling corrections - all of them are not making it into The Pride each week. Therefore, I will be including the corrections at the end of my column from now on. The corrections that will be submitted will come from my own critique, the editors' observations and f rom reader inquiry. From the onset of the paper's distribution this semester, I am aware of two corrections that were overlooked last week that will be included this week. As always, I would like to encourage everybody to keep reading The Pride and sending me your feedback. Also, take The Pride home with you and share it with friends and family so they can get a sense of what is happening at your school. A fter all, if we are doing our j ob of providing a newspaper that is indicative of the campus as a whole then The Pride should be an accurate reflection of the campus worthy enough to share.

On the front page and on page two in the article "Meet the Dean, Or Not," Vicki Golich is incorrectly identified as the dean of students. Jonathan Poullard holds that position. Ms. Golich's position is interim dean of the college of arts and sciences. Note to the Editor By ALEX ROSALINO Pride StaffWiiier I believe that it was stupid for the powers that be to increase the student fees. That is a very direct statement and may seem harsh, but I feel there is no other way to state it. Other people and I registered in late June for this fall of 2003, but learned that we had been dropped due to a sudden student fee increase. They could have warned all the students about what they were going to do by sending out e-mails. My friend received a little card in the mail stating the financial change and said "I barely noticed it." When I did go to there office to ask why, they claimed they did send out e-mails. I wish I would have got one. Did you? Luckily I was able to re-register for classes. By Chris Martin CSUSM Student As the writer of the article in question, 78 magazine's "Get It On In The D orm" and a current student at CSUSM, I feel it pertinent to inform readers that the so-called "opposition" to the article, or rather the violators of our civil rights, failed to confront 78 magazine directly about their apparent concerns pertaining to the magazine's content and still remain anonymous. The premier issue of 78 was summarily rounded up and exiled to the bowels of the circular file for what could be construed as a protest to my evident lack of morality. This act strengthens our view point that we must all be vigilant if we are to maintain our civil rights on our college campuses. To Cathy Nguyen of Student Health Services I ask - what article were you reading? Like it or not, it is legal for the majority of University students to drink and have sex. Having a drink with a member of the opposite sex to blow off steam and possibly engage in an act of protected consensual sex is quite different f rom "taking advantage of inebriated girls (which) could lead to sexual assault." Contrary to your opinion, the message of "Get It On In The Dorm" was the following. Here are some stereotypes, lets laugh at them, and by the way, if you're going to have sex, be responsible. This was primarily a humor piece with a few crassly presented common sense pointers. For those of you who recognized it as such, congratulations. [mu.cmmwki cmm- Furthermore I find it offensive that you assume our student body is incapable of making rational decisions regarding their sexuality and that a few sarcastic remarks will lead educated adults to commit sexual assaults. Your objections make sense only if we blatantly r efuse to acknowledge the use of irony and take items out of context. Those trained to read critically can clearly see that the article was carefully constructed to address both genders. Any perceived "gender biases" are a result of careless reading and the injection of the readers' own preconceptions. I suggest you read the article again - this time analytically. 78 is alternative media - meaning we don't have to be for everyone. It also means we don't care if we r uffle a few feathers with the ultra-PC crowd. A fter all, t hat's the point of f ree speech: - To have f ree and open exchanges of ideas regardless of their popularity - The freedom to have a voice, to disagree, be disagreed with, and to trust people's competency to make up their own minds based on all the arguments. Deciding what information others can access is best left to fascist regimes. To produce media in any other manner would be considered a journalistic travesty not only by the publication I represent but by me as well. Finally, though we disagree, I want to thank Cathy Nguyen for participating and offering her opinion publicly and I hope more people will lend their voices to the forum - that's what 78 and The Pride are here for. �THE PRIDE A&E May I Take Your Order? By JOHNP. SCRIPPS Pride StaffWriter Where do we go to eat? Whether out on that first date, hanging out with friends, or that special occasion, it's a question that plagues us all. It is a question that begs an answer. I took upon myself to find one. I picked what I thought were the best restaurants in the area t o fill out three basic categories: 1) a place to go with friends to socialize, 2) a place for a first date, and 3) the five-star anniversary special. If you are looking for a social atmosphere that allows for your underage friends to sit with you, you'd probably choose a place like TGI Friday's. Unfortunately there are no TGIF's in San Marcos. The closest one is in Oceanside. Most of us do not want the hassle of another long commute but, luck is just around the corner. There is a place that serves alcohol, but still allows for your underage friends to sit with you. They have great meals and delicious finger foods. The social setting will allow for you to get a little loud without offending other patrons. Drum rollplease. The answer to all your problems is the San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They have a whole selection of home brewed, non-pasteurized ales, such as: honey ale, a rich oatmeal stout, Premium Gold and a Weizenbock. T he possibilities are limitless. Fortunately, the brewery is only one exit West of Twin Oaks. All less than two minutes from the dorms! They have the typical finger foods like nachos,-potato skins, and chicken fingers, but also some more interesting items such as calamari stripsr and a sausage sampler. Entrees tend to be American, but there are a few things that stand out as being different like the Cajun chicken bow tie pasta and the ale battered shrimp (fantastic!). The prices are comparable to TGIF, with an average amount of $7 to $9 a plate. If you ever find yourself hungry while sitting around and watching television head over to San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They even have a take out menu. You can contact the brewery at (760) 471- 0050. If you're looking for a place to go on the ever important first date, look no f urther than The Old California Mining Company. They nicely blend sheik with affordability, which is great considering you'll need to purchase a parking pass next semester. The décor is reminiscent of an Old Mine. The inside consists chiefly of mining paraphernalia with wooden beams, mining carts, lanterns and shovels. The ambiance is quiet enough for you to talk. There are enough conversation pieces on the wall to help when there's nothing left to say. Just think; where else could you say things like, "Wow. Look at that ax!" or "Look at that lantern. By the way, can Î light your way home?" There is a really good selection of steaks. The food, aptly put is American. If you decide against the consumption of meat there is a selection of salads and pastas. The servings are not too big. The Old California Mining Company is a great place for a first date. It's not too loud, not too bold, and it has pretty darn good food at a price that will still let you pay for your books. You also have the option of ordering your food for take-out. Photo by John P Scripps/The Pride San Marcos Bar & Grill is a popular dinning hot spot on Restaurant Row. Unfortunately, there are not ' 5-star restaurants in San Marcos. However, there is one located in Old Town off Interstate 5 south, just before you get downtown. It is a bit of a hike, but a worthwhile trip especially when celebrating an anniversary or the like. The restaurant in question is called El Agave. It is an unsurpassed holein-the-wall Mexican restaurant. I have taken many friends there to prove my point and have yet to take one that disagreed with me once they'd finished their meal. The International Wine & Food Society, La Jolla Chapter (of which I am Tuesday, October 1 4,2003 7 RestaumntRow a member) awarded it their blue ribbon in your parents to pay for parking and books. 1998, which is no small achievement.

The sauces, which make or break special someone or a place to celebrate any five-star meal, are incredible in their variety and depth of flavor. Thè food is strictly Mexican. Some of the dishes have a unique twist imparted by the chef. For example, the filet mignon is smothered in a traditional peanut sauce and filled with goat cheese. It is a sort of Mexico meets the 21st century steak. It is extremely delicious. This restaurant lacks one of equal comparison. So for that big anniversary, show your loved one that you care.

Collèges across California campaign to boost youth registration New technology serves as medium to make voter regstration easier for college students BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor With the deadline for Californians to register to vote coming up this Monday, Oct. 20, the California State Faculty Association is joining the effort to motivate students to get involved in the upcoming election through social networking sites and other technological avenues. CFA listed Facebook Rock the Vote Registration, Myspace Declare Yourself, Long Distance Voter, Vote411, Google Voter Information as online resources, each offering via Internet registration as well as information regarding the election and ways to get involved locally. Even Xbox offers members of their Microsoft Xbox Live service to register to vote via their gaming consoles. "There are more and more online resources that can assist you with filling out your registration form, telling your friends about politics and sharing ideas on the election," said CFA Vice President i Kim Geron. "We encourage students to register and then take action by emailing everyone in their contact lists, or Twit- tering, or messaging their Facebook friends." Students may also register a more traditional way. ASI is participating in a college competition to register the most voters on campus.

Even the hackneyed horror genre puts out something original. Yet, in the past few years, there has been no development in romantic comedies. Though a f ilm must use the conventions and defining elements of its genre, romantic comedies have repetitive and predictable. Recently, other genres, such as animation and westerns, have maintained the trademarks of the genres while presenting an original story and idea. Romantic comedies on the other hand have become formulaic. The story line of every modern romantic comedy in Hollywood is the same.

THOMPSON become l ongtime friend or new person in their life that they fall for. However, the protagonist is too late because the person they are interested in is no longer available. An obstacle arises, whether it is that they are dating or engaged to someone else, or have a tragic character flaw. The story follows the pro tagonist's quest to win the heart of his or her beloved. The f ilm becomes whimsical as comedy ensues, and the protagonist almost gets what he o r she want j ust before something sad happens. This sad happening usually deals with something rude the protagonist, said or did in the beginning, and how it's coming back to haunt him or her. Yet, no matter how bad it is, the offended o ffers forgiveness through timely compassion or witnessing some deed. In the end, the most sickeningly unsurprising fact is the protagonist and his or her love will undoubtedly be together happily ever a fter. The romantic comedy that finally breaks out of this form will be something worth watching. Yet, there is no end in sight. Do not listen to advertisers who publicize a f ilm for being original. Modern romantic comedies are the same story in a slightly different order with different actors. That's it. From a strictly objective view, L would imagine this lack of originality would lead Hollywood to stop the production of romantic comedies. Nevertheless, their goal is money, and they can rely on the timid filmgoer to be excited about big name stars in a genre with which they are familiar.

Don't laugh, they will do it BY BRIAN MANN Pride Staff Writer Let's be honest. Since their inception in 1998 as an expansion team, the Tampa Bay Rays (formerly known as the Devil Rays) have been downright awful. Annually, they have been among the worst teams in baseball. Their payroll is almost always near the bottom of the pile. It seemed as though they would forever be a bottomfeeder given their seeming unwillingness to spend money to acquire proven talent. Who cared anyway? They were Tampa Bay, baseball Siberia, an expansion mistake with absolutely no history. Until this year. The Rays have exploded onto the seen«, and, quite impressively, amassed one of the best records in baseball. This year marks their first-ever division title and their first-ever playoff appearance. Over the course of the season, they have shown that they can win a nd win big doing it their way. They won a division, the American League East that also includes the high-payroll New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The Rays have enjoyed great - success from young players with high-end talent, but because of these players'-youth and inexperience, they are relatively inexpensive. In comparison with* the remaining three teams l eft, the Rays have an advantage over each one. Their American League Championship Series opponent, the Boston Red Sox, have injury issues, particularly with clutch pitcher Josh Beckett. The National League contestants have flaws as well. The Philadelphia Phillies rely too much on strong hitting at their home ballpark, which is very small and strongly favors hitters. The Los Angeles Dodgers are the least flawed, other than the Rays, but they seem a bit divided as a team. They have an awkward mix of young and old players who have had differences with each other in baseman Carlos Pena. Couple recent seasons. this exciting young talent with The Rays have none of these a confident attitude and the problems.

Ultimately, good scouting and d rafting of amateur players is the most cost-effective way to build a quality team. This year's Rays team is proof positive. They have supplemented this smart drafting philosophy with intelligent trades to acquire young up-and-comers such as pitcher Scott Kazmir and f irst Schilling, speaking of the Rays, said "The start to respectability is as much an attitude as it is talent." Agreed, but the Rays are way beyond respectability at this point. They're about to be world champions.

According to the San Diego Food Bank website, over 480,000 people face hunger in San Diego county. 181,000 of which are children. Founded in 1977, the San Diego Food Bank distributes approximately ten million pounds of food each year to individuals, families, and other nonprofit organizations to assist in the fight against hunger in San Diego County. �NEWS THE PRIDE ± > | Lié Y V O From PACT, page 1 reported on the issue on Oct. 3, stating that the program saves the taxpayers $1.4 billion each year by helping prevent unwanted pregnancies and, "If not resolved in California's favor, the disagreement could create a new hole of at least $262 million in the state budget that j ust went into e ffect..." Each year, the federal government pays for $315 million worth of the estimated $432 million it costs to run the program. Since the federal government only pays for legal immigrants, the state pays for care received by illegal immigrants. Family PACT accounts for approximately 1.7 million low income Californians annually, with services ranging f rom sex education, counseling, and birth control methods to prenatal care and annual exams/Representatives in favor of the program claim that the state would pay much more in maternity care for the 170,000 women served under Family PACT. According to state statistics, an estimated 14% of Family PACT participants are illegal immigrants. This past September, the Bush administration gave California a month to determine the legality of each member of the program to avoid losing federal funding. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services extended the status of the Family PACT waiver to Oct. 16, a fter which, the program will determine how to continue serving those under Family PACT. Student Health and Counseling Services called for student participants in the Family PACT program to contact their local congressman, senator, and Majority Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi at 202-225-4965 or AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov to express the importance of the program.

"Don't Vote," an online video featuring celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, and Sarah Silverman, serves as a comedic public service announcement using reverse psychology to encourage voter registration and stress its importance. In the video, the celebrities challenge those who watch it to take a step f urther than registering and send the video to five friends in hopes of motivating them to do the same. "There is nothing more American than exercising one's right to vote and many Americans cast their f irst vote as college students," said Geron. "College students represent a growing portion of the electorate and have the potential to make a big impact and this is simply an e ffort to jump-start the registration process. Young people are the generation that will be the most impacted by today's pressing issues—healthcare, global warming, the economy—and by engaging them now, its more likely that they'll be a driving force towards the solutions of these issues."

The Haunted Hayride is a PG rated scare for the whole family, though it may not be appropriate for small children. Riders sit huddled together on a tractor-pulled hay wagon while being stalked by ghost and zombies. The Chamber is a themed labyrinth that is haunted by La Llorone, a ghost from south of the border who is searching for her lost children. The Chamber is more suspense driven than any of the other attractions and is sure to deliver spine-tingling thrills. The House of Horror is the scariest of die three and is not recommended for children under the age of 10. The house features frightening scenes of gory terror and bloody graphics. The House of Horror is designed as a house with a series of themed rooms that thrill seekers must walk though. The eight rooms include the Funeral Home Room, the E lectrocution room and the Butcher shop. Each room is slightly more frightening than the one San Diego is notorious for having high Halloween spirits because, of the variety of attractions it offers for the haunting season, and this year San Diego is hosting four major Halloween attractions throughout the city, each with a unique theme that is sure to give a good scare. In Del Mar the Scream Zone delivers thrills, Mira Mesa hosts Monster Manor, Balboa Park has the Haunted Trail and Downtown San Diego presents the Haunted Hotel. Following a trail of blood through a dreary hallway and hearing chainsaws humming in the background as a head rolls across the floor leaves no doubt that the Delmar Scream Zone has arrived.

However, a trip to a local haunted spot can leave goose bumps on the arms and send chills down the back, The Whaley House, located in Old Town San Diego, is one of two homes in California that has been documented as "haunted" by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. And according to the Travel Channel's "America's Most Haunted," it is the most haunted place is the United States. The property where the house is located was a local hanging site, according to the Save Our Heritage Organisation(SOHO). Even though Thomas Whaley witnessed many of the hangings that took place there, he still chose to purchase the land to build a house for his family, Shortly after the home was built, the family claimed they heard footsteps and mysterious things around the house, which they a t t r i uted to the ghosts of those who had been hung there, according to SOHO. Urban legend also suggests that Whaley and his wife hauiit the home, along with a little girl who is rumored to have been decapitated in the backyard by a clothing wire, However, no documentation of the girl, her family, or the incident can be found according to SOHO. SOHO claims that several people, including Regis Philbin, claimed to see apparitions and other ghostly behavior in the home, The museum capitalizes on the home's ghost filled history during the Halloween s eason/The public can participate in several activities such as oil lamp tours with ghost stories and ghost hunts.

Shortly following the injury, Brady was declared out for the season by the team. An arrest has been made in the nearly two year old murder case of Denver Broncos player Darrent Williams. Willie D. Clark was indicted on first-degree murder charges on Wednesday, October 8th in Denver. Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones reportedly got into an altercation with his bodyguard at a Dallas hotel. Police were called but no charges were filed. Jones missed all of last season due to suspension by the NFL for numerous off-field incidents. New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress returned to the team following a one game suspension for an Tony Stewart won the AMP Energy 500 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway on October 5th.

Soccer Recap ¡j ^ m I fSl j p mi M S V*/W Cougar Cross-Country Shines at Vanguard; Men and Women Take 2nd Cougar cross-country lived up to its lofty national ranking on Saturday, as the #3-ranked women and #5-ranked men both finished second at the Vanguard Invitational. Competing in chilly conditions against a field chocked f ull of NAIA top-25 teams, both CSUSM squads managed to place only behind Azusa Pacific in the standings. APU's women's team is ranked #2, and their men are ranked #3. Dallon Williams, as she has done all season, led the Cougar women in Saturday's 5K. The senior star runner followed up her record-breaking performance at Riverside with another brilliant race, running 17:25 to place second overall. Not far behind was fellow senior Morgan Sjogren, who nearly joined Williams in breaking 18 minutes, but settled for 18:01. Up-and-coming sophomore Jessica Sandoval made it a trio of Cougars in the top-10, running 18:17 to place 10th. True freshman Cady Villarreal ran a solid race, placing 15th with a time of 18:44. Rounding out the top-5 was Sin Carrano, who ran 18:48 to take 17th. Unbelievably, CSUSM nearly had 7 runners finish under 19-minutes, despite the tough conditions. Lindsey McKown and Whitney Patton just missed the mark, running 19:02 and 19:03 to finish 24th and 25th, respectively. Also competing for the Cougars were Suzanne Scrimenti (29th; 19:10), Stephanie cook (40th; 19:53), Jen Reinagel (41st; 19:56), Cassidy Reich (57th; 20:46), Monika Valenzuela (68th; 21:07), Brooke Smith (73rd; 21:23), Christina Cooper (76th; 21:54), Niki Thomas (85th; 22:25), Mallory Bawkey (87th; 22:44), and Erin Hearn (88th; unspecified violation of team rules. Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry has been reinstated by the team. Henry has been arrested five times in the last four years. MLB The first round of the playoffs has been completed. Each series was a best of five (or first team to win three). The Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies are playing the National League Championship Series for the right to represent the National League in the World Series. It is a best of seven series (or first team to win four). The Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox are competing in the American League Championship Series for the right to go to the World Series. It is also a best of seven series. San Diego Padres owner John Moores reportedly is attempting to sell about 49% of the team, according to published reports. He is in the midst of a complicated divorce. By retaining more than half of the team's ownership stake, he would retain the controlling interest in the team. NASCAR 22:45). On the men's side, the Cougars' formula for success remained the same as its been all year: solid, consistent (if not spectacular) times from everyone in the tpo-5. While the men don't have a breakout star like Williams or Sjogren, they run remarkably good and consistent times from race to race. This differs from the last couple seasons, when the Cougar men have had the star power but not necessarily the depth. In both 2006 and 2007, CSUSM finished a disappointing 9th at Nationals; this year's team has quietly positioned itself to improve on that. Leading the way on Saturday was Dave Edwards, who ran a strong 26:08 on the 8K course. Amazingly, the team's next four runners finished in order, starting with Tony Guadagnini running 26:21 to take 14th. Finishing 15th was Alex Guaderrama at 26:22. In 16th was Kyle Hughes at 26:26. And at 17th was Matt Leetch, who ran 26:29 to cap off the impressive team showing. This year's team also possesses the depth that has been lacking iji previous years. If any of the above runners had faltered, Leo Elorza's 21st place finish at 26:39 wouldn't have hurt the squad at all. Also competing were Andrew Lang (37th; 27:26), Hank Carl (44th, 28:00), Miguel Vega (48th; 28:03), Antonio Sanchez (53rd; 28:10), Thomas Polhill (64th; 29:20), and Weston Ryan (73rd; 30:50). Cougar cross-country will be competing on campus next Saturday at the Cougar Challenge! Woman 3-0. Men 1-1 BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer Cougars Soccer had a successful road trip this weekend, with both the Men going 1-1 and the Women going undefeated 3-0 throughout the week. On the brink of going over the .500 margin for the second time this season, the Men's Soccer team just fell short moving their record to 5-6-1. Traveling up the coast this past weekend, the Cougars played S.F. State, where both teams came out strong scoring goals almost immediately. In the 4th minute SFSU's Mario Hernandez hit a corner kick in the box, which ended up being scored by Killian LeDuke to give them the 1-0 lead. Just 5 minutes later, co-captain Chris Wyatt scored an equalizer from 25 yards out to beat the keeper. The 1-1 tie carried all the way into the 2nd half, when in the 71st minute the Cougars fouled a member of SFSU in the box and scored on a penalty kick after defender Trey Whitaker was sent off with a red card. The Cougars couldn't get an equalizer and lost 2-1. In their 2nd game of the road trip, the Cougars moved their record back to .500 with a 1-0 win over Cal State Monterey Bay. In the 14th minute, Michael Nuovo found senior co-captain Greg Reese, who scored on a shot off the right post to give the Cougars the only score of the game. Keeper Tashi Nakanishi made 5 saves in the game to maintain the shutout. Women's Soccer needed a 2nd half comeback to win over Chapman University 2-1, in the only home game of the week for the Cougars. After coming off a loss the Cougars are now ranked #13 nationally. The Cougars out shot Chapman 12-2 in thefirsthalf but once again could not capitilize and would trail 1-0 going into the 2nd half. In the 55th minute, Taylor Ziencina, who has been hitting phenomenal corners all year, hit another deadly pass into seldomused defender Lauren Hernandez who headed it in for the equalizer. Finally in the 72nd minute, athlete of the month Katelyn Krauss made a great run at midfield and found Ziencina who scored the game winner after the defense did not allow a shot on goal in the 2nd half. In their 1st game of the road trip, the Cougars clawed SFSU 2-1 in another great victory. After another corner kick by Ziencina, Breanna Brenton, a solid back line defender, scored in the 28th minute t o give the Cougars the 1-0 lead early. Krauss gave the Cougars a much-needed insurance goal coming off a penalty kick in the 65th minute, which ended up being the game winner, after the Cougars allowed a late goal in the 88th minute. Women's Soccer improved their record to 9-2-2 after a dominating victory against CSU East Bay 3-0. Katelyn Krauss added another goal in what has been an impressive week for the athlete of the month in September to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. The Cougars would add on two more goals in the 2nd half, one by Lauren Johnson to seal the deal and earn the Cougars their 3rd win of the week. Brittni Salomon pitched the shutout for the Cougars as well. Intramural Basketball and Co-ed Dodgeball BY LANCE ROSENBERGER Pride Staff Writer A round of applause is in order for everybody who participated in the Intramural Basketball and Co-ed Dodgeball leagues held at the Clark Fieldhouse over the past couple weeks. But like all sports, we have to give special praise to the teams who managed to strive above the rest and make it to the finals. For basketball we had the Fab 5 play off against the ZBT Shockers. In a great game the Fab 5 managed to come out ahead, getting first place for this season. "It was a great game on both parts and all the players deserve recognition" says Hugo Lecomte, the Director of Campus Recreation. But it wasn't over for the ZBT Shockers. Not one to sit on the sidelines, they also made it all the way through to the finals in the Dodgeball league. In the final game against Los Peloteros they came out ahead, grabbing the title of CSUSM Dodgeball champions. Los Peloteros played hard, but apparently the ZBT Shockers played harder. All the staff working at the Clark Fieldhouse wish to invite you to participate in the upcoming Flag Football and 3-on-3 Women's Basketball leagues. Check out all the activities by visiting Campus Recreation in the Clark Fieldhouse. �A &E THE PRIDE r e, read Tuesday, October 14, 2008 11 hink, enjoy BY JEFFREY SCHONEMAN library (barely) alive how nice, how new, how modernized this thrust of peachy concrete is! guide your hand along its walls and you will feel a pulse of data coursing through electric veins.

Comics Just for Shiggles By Jenny Bigpond �BY JOSEPH DERAGISCH Pride Staff Writer If you like your food slathered in home-style essence and fried to perfection, then tucking in to Old California Mining Company is a great way to spend any day of the week. The restaurant is nestled right in the middle of "Restaurant Row" along San Marcos Blvd. With other restaurants around the area specializing in foreign foods, it's a refreshing sight to see a place with good ol' American roots. The presentation of the old time California feeling is evident right at the start. From the rusty lanterns strewn around the walkway leading up to the place, to the heavily scarred wooden door that opens to let customers in, you feel like your back in the 1880's swinging a pickaxe to the tune of old folk tunes. The interior is just as decorated as the outside, with sttiffed bears and elk lining the walls and old paintings of miners spaced out along the dining areas. The customer service is exceptional and right on time, and the wait for an order is was surprisingly short. Speaking of which, no restaurant would be complete without a fabulous menu to go along with its decor. Old Town California Mining Company doesn't disappoint. They have a large menu ranging from the classic chicken fried steak and potatoes to an impressive seafood selection. There is also a large desert menu to satisfy the heartiest of eaters, although it may go untouched since the portions are rather generous. Who doesn't like a little nostalgic and rustic aura in a restaurant? Head down to Old Town California Mining Company to have a great time, eat some great food, and enjoy an authentic setting of times of old. Photo by Katie McBrayer/The Pride Tony Vs. Paul BY JOSEPH DERAGISCH Pride Staff Writer Tony Vs. Paul is an amazing and at times hilarious stop motion fight sequence between two friends gone rivals. The story begins with Tony looking at an old photograph of him and Paul. The picture suddenly starts moving and Paul punches Tony. Tony retaliates by sending him an angry letter (which gets to Paul by crawling across town by itself). Paul then goes over to Tony's house and begins an epic fight that lasts the rest of the video. There are some great effects such as the two guys running on water, hovering over the ground, and skating across the grass. The video took two months to film and edit, and it contains over 4,000 still shots to create the fluid motions of the characters. "Nothing is fake and no green screens were used," Paul Cummings says, adding to the impressiveness of the clip. Tony Vs. Paul will marvel anyone who appreciates hard work and authenticity in their indie film making. It can be found here: h ttp://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=AJzU3NjDikY. The duo have made many other videos using stop motion animation which can be found at their website: http://freeposterfilms.com/. Their films have won numerous awards and contests and have been featured on The Office and Balls of Fury dvd sets.

Legend's Sports Bar and Grill recently opened in the Ralph's shopping center on Twin Oaks Road, across from the school. It is located in the Grappa restaurant building, which owner Garo Minassian split to include a sports bar. The former Grappa building still contains the pizza and pasta restaurant, but Minassian said he wanted to open a place for students who wanted to watch games in a less upscale environment. He said, "it's has a nice and clean atmosphere and is student and family friendly." The handful of televisions boasts high definition showings of ESPN and sporting events. The menu consists of typical bar food. Legend's offers several appetizers including chicken BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Stone Brewery brews and bottles Vertical Epic in Escondido, California. The brewery originally opened in San Marcos, California, in 1996. In 2006, the company moved to a new facility in Escondido to meet increased customer demand. The current facility is capable of producing of up to 250,000 barrels. Chairman and CEO Cireg Kock and President and Brewmaster Steve Wagner originally met in 1989. While attending a class at UC Davis both realized their shared interests in the art of craft brewing. BevMo retails the 1 Pt. 6 Fl. Oz. bottle of ale for $6.49. The dark brown glass bottle features the name of the brew and information in white and gold stenciling. A gold bottle cap seals the ale with a 8.6% a lcohol bv tenders and nachos. The chicken wings were slightly disappointing. They smelled wonderful and came nicely presented on their plate. However, the sauce was off balance and the chicken required a bit more time cooking as they lacked crispness. As well, Legend's overpriced them at $6.95 for six wings. Other menu items include salads, wraps, pizzas, and hamburgers. The Vi lb. cheeseburger at $8.95 offered a great deal. The burger was larger than expected an d contained crisp and fresh tomatoes, onions, and lettuce on top. The side of fries was also pleasing because they were more refreshing than filling. The burger filled up well though. Legend's also offers a bar with a fair assortment of beers and drinks. While I was there, the service was slightly inattentive, but still friendly. Conveniently located next to campus, Legend's caters well to the students needs. The pricing is fair and the atmosphere perfect for game day. Legend's is a nice alternative to fine dining found I in Grappa. Photo by Bill Rhein / The Pride ; volume. Steve Wagner and Head Brewer Mitch Steele give credit to a visit to Belgium in early 2008 for this year's Vertical Epic recipe. Stone claims the beer tastes best after the brew has fully aged after Dec. 12,2012. The ale pours chunky generating a healthy two-inch head and releasing a strong bitter aroma. The head lingers for a moment before transforming into a delicious creamy thick lancet. The brew radiates a beautiful amber hue. The ale enters the mouth and delivers a knockout punch like Kimbo Slice to the taste buds and tongue. The taste buds and mouth take several minutes to recover only to ask for more of the full flavored tasty ale. Pair the beer with full dinner meals preferably beef to counter balance the burly beer.

"A college university should be able to follow the rules in a simple game like tic-tac-toe," said senior student and onlooker Sue Hagen. On October 9th, Cal State Squares, a takeoff on the television show "Hollywood Squares," took place by the clock tower as part of CSUSM Pride on the Prowl Homecoming Week.

A steady stream of students satisfied their appetites courtesy of the CSUSM Veterans' Association after 5 p.m. on Oct 7th in Founders Plaza. Association barbecue is unique in that the event actually preceded the association. In 2001, a small group of CSUSM veterans got together to develop an event to benefit the campus. The result of their cooperation was not only the first barbecue, but also the genesis of the Veterans' Association, which will hopefully receive greater attention after the success of this year's BBQ. food. We had planned to serve food until about 6:00, but there was a line of people until at least 7:30, so we just kept cooking."

Taylor also added, "It's a great opportunity for students to see the college layout." Cathy Munson, a San Marcos Middle School AVID professor, said that once these students get into college, they might be the only under-represented student in their classrooms. However, Munson explained that this conference gives the students an opportunity to be surrounded by students who are just like them. Jatziri Alarcon, a San Marcos Middle School student, described her experience at the conference. "It's cool because you get to know more about college and about what's better in the future," Alarcon said. " Ih.

Microsoft Shares its Future with CSUSM By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer Kerfoot's job involves traveling to large Microsoft customers and telling them about the benefits of working with Microsoft, and their new technologies to come out in the future. The largest of these customers of Microsoft include Nissan, Qualcomm, and many others. According tq Kerfoot, the new technologies that Microsoft plans to release have a substantial involvement with the Internet, and building what will be known as the Digital Economy, or connecting every business together. Over 50 people showed up to Academic Hall 115 Thursday night to hear a little insight on the future of Microsoft, presented by guest speaker Scott Kerfoot. The presentation was co-hosted by Cal State San Marcos' own Alumni Association, and the Association Information Technology Professionals (AITP). The Alumni Association provided the sponsor for the event, Steamatic, who provided free beverages and desserts for those students and staff that Other new Microsoft techattended.

Veterans from all branches of the armed services are represented. With roughly 600 veterans attending school at CSUSM, the association has the potential for even further growth. Navy veteran and association member Stan Johnson described the association as being in an early formative stage. Johnson said the association is currently in the process of developing a mission statement and the association members eventually hope to be able to provide assistance to veterans and their families. Some members of the CSUSM Veterans' Association, such as Treasurer Tom Watson, are currently on active duty in the military. Watson is participating in the Marine Enlisted Com- system and phone capabilities. The Tablet PC is a slate-like computer, with wireless networking built in for Internet access; it will use a<pen instead of a mouse for navigation.

At the end of the event, free shirts, books, and software were given out, courtesy of Microsoft. According to Microsoft, the overall goal of these new technologies is to make information available anytime, anywhere, and on any device. To do achieve this goal, all businesses need to be integrated into one interface, in order to boost AITP officer Aimee Friend efficiency and availability. This said, "AITP is a campus club and services have similar programs on campus. "In the aftennath of Sep 11th, security considerations have forced active duty personnel to adopt a low profile in certain situations," explained Watson, who also expressed his complete willingness tofightfor his county if he is summoned. The CSUSM Veterans' Association meets the first Tuesday of each month at 4 p.m. The association is currently holding its meetings in the Dome, though they are in the process of securing their own room.

Held just beyond Forum Plaza, between University Hall and the new Arts Building, the location was ideal for passing students to observe their peers laughing and having a great time. Overall, the scene was light and happy, and several people felt comfortable enough to stop and chat with sideline spectators. The competition consisted of four classic events, each a childhood favorite, yet with a contemporary spin. The first in a series of grueling feats of skill was Speed Twister. A member from each team battled with one another simultaneously onfiveseparate Twister mats. Whoever was the last one standing on each one of the mats won points for their team. This was quickly followed by the old camp favorite "Spin-'round-thebat-and-run" relay. During the event, each member from every team spun around seven times with the bat on their forehead, which was an oversized candle, and then had to slalom their way through a series of orange cones to touch a flag. Sprinting back to where they had begun was the only way to tag the next teammate inline. From there, the players moved on to a condensed Frisbee Golf match, where one member from each team took turns throwing a frisbee into a net trap about 20 yards away. Just as in regular golf, the least amount of throws won. After the adrenaline and energy from the relay before, the golf game quickly became organized chaos, with frisbees being tossed randomly like graduation caps. Thefinalportion of the contest was Speed Pumpkin Carving. As a team, everyone had 10 minutes to create something artistic from a lopsided gourd; it was not merely speed that scored points, but quality as well. Some simply hacked out their Greek symbols, while other teams such as PAN went so f ar as to use a dragon stencil to produce an eye-catching image. Winners were announced Thursday at 12 p.m. First place was awarded to APSS, who received $100 for their efforts. Second place went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who in turn won $50. PAN won third place and received $25. The prizes went towards the club accounts.

Inspiring artist Anna O'Cain reveals her aesthetic and tactile motivations, capturing the essence of the maternal bond, within her art. O'Cain mixes visually stimulating, sensory art with an ounce of maternal flare in the pieces scheduled to exhibit with the Arts and Lecture Series. She brings life to art by con- ceptualizing a box of mementos from her mother. A bit of life's instruction, a pinch of family matters and juicy tidbits of gossip demonstrate the range of her art exhibit The art show is scheduled to exhibit at Cal State San Marcos beginning Oct. 23rd and will run through the end of November.

I find that to be absolutely rediculous. When you remake a film, you're simply updating the telling of it. Like with "Psycho," they just added color to Hitchcock's masterpiece. Other remakes follow the same plotting, but update it to modern settings and the like. With "Red Dragon," Brett Ratner has made an adaptation of the novel of the same title by Thomas Harris. That's why the credits say based on the novel by Thomas Harris, not based on the film "Manhunter" by Michael Mann. Mann's film is a much looser adaptation than Ratners, and rather inferior, in my opinion. So, Mr. Thomas Harris expert, do tell me if you made a mistake in what you Said, or if you really believe that Ratner was remaking "Manhunter". I'd also like to know what you thought of the ending of the novel "Hannibal" compared to the ending of the film "Hannibal."

Se encuentra abierta al público en general la exposición "El Arte Defiende". Esta muy particular exhibición de arte organizada por el Taller de Arte Fronterizo que dirige Michael Schnorr se está presentando en la Galería de Arte del Colegio Southwestern en Chula Vista hasta finales de mes. Se presentan trabajos de niños y jóvenes de la comunidad de Maclovio Rojas en Tijuana, así como también de algunos otros artistas que muestran en sus obras las experiencias vividas dentro de la población. Para estimular la creatividad de los niños, Huato y Aguiñiga les enseñan diferentes técnicas de pintura. Aguiñiga expresó que muchos niños piensan que no son capaces de dibujar o pintar un cuadro con valor estético pero que después de enseñarles cómo y ofreciéndoles los diferentes materiales utilizados para que puedan crear algo con facilidad y de una manera divertida, los niños se entusiasman y se les enciende el pensamiento creativo. El objetivo de los instructores es el de enseñarles una manera de expresar sus emociones. "La situación en Maclovio es muy difícil. Algunos niños no tienen casa, a otros los abandonaron sus papás, no van a la escuela, andan en las calles todo el día, cargan cuchillos, se pelean entre sí, y otros venden drogas para poder comer. Entonces es importante el proporcionar a los niños una manera de expresión no verbal, ya que cuando se expresan verbalmente son censurados, y a La galería de pinturas, fotografías y figuras plásticas forma la historia de los habitantes de ese lugar. Los jóvenes y niños plasman sus vivencias en muros hechos de puertas de cocheras. En cada uno de los trabajos que se pueden apreciar en esta exposición se encuentra el alma frustrada, acongojada, sedienta, hambrienta, o dichosa de un joven, de un niño o de un adulto. Detrás de estas piezas se encuentran los seres que denuncian injusticias y carencias de todo tipo. El Taller de Arte Fronterizo puso en marcha un proyecto en Tijuana para defender a los habitantes de Maclovio Rojas. Como estrategia de ayuda surgió "El Arte Defiende", exhibición de arte que tiene como finalidad El dibujo de Jonathan. Foto por Martha Sarabia proteger a la comunidad a través del ingenio artístico. Como parte del proyecto, el Taller de Arte Fronterizo ha invitado a artistas internacionales y nacionales a convivir con la entidad de Maclovio Rojas para que plasmen sus experiencias a través de su creación artística. comunidad autónoma, que sus líderes eran mujéres y que confrontaban serios problemas con el gobierno. Poco a poco se f ue envolviendo con la comunidad y junto con otros artistas voluntarios empezaron a construir el Centro de Arte Comunitario Aguascalientes. Elizabeth Huato y Tania Aguiñiga son dos voluntarias que han estado asistiendo a impartir clases de artes plásticas y pintura a la comunidad de Maclovio Rojas. Huato es estudiante de Diseño Gráfico én el plantel de Southwestern y Aguiñiga estudia Diseño de Muebles en la Universidad Estatal de San Diego. Actualmente el centro Aguascalientes cuenta con siete voluntarios y voluntarias. Cuatro de ellos son estudiantes de arte, dos son profesores y una pintora del Taller de Arte Fronterizo. Todos ellos trabajan con la comunidad, especialmente con los jóvenes y Aguiñiga empezó a colaborar con el Taller de Arte Fronterizo hace cuatro años y medio. Ella cuenta que el proyecto se inició con la idea preliminar de realizar una pintura de Maclovio Rojas. A Aguiñiga le interesó el hecho de que Maclovio era una Maqueta de la comuñidad Maclovio Rojas. Foto por Martha Sarabia Para Huato, es muy importante que ellos se puedan expresar a través del arte, pero también es uña forma para que ellos consideren el arte como carrera futura. "El crear una forma de arte para que la vendan y se puedan sostener económicamente es muy bueno, pero más que nada es pintar para desahogarse, ellos pasan por problemas que uno nunca se imagina. Para mí el arte es expresión y para ellos debe de ser también," expresó Huato con una actitud optimista. De acuerdo con Huato, su mejor experiencia ha sido el pintar los murales con el grupo de jóvenes. "Todas las actividades eran en la noche y era muy divertido, parecía como que temamos fiesta. Es uno de los mejores recuerdos que tengo," expresó Huato. Huato también habló de la pintura de un joven, Jonathan, la cual realizó con colores de agua. "La forma en que él la pintó me dejó anonadada porque no me imaginaba las cosas que él era capaz de pintar. Es una pintura abstracta, lo que es muy difícil para un niño. Me impresionó el talento que tiene, así que le sigo dando material para que continúe pintando."

After a dazzling reverse from #21 LaDainian Tomlinson to #85 Tim Dwight the Chargers opened tip the first quarter 7-0 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The momentum was in favor of the Chargers, however with turnovers caused by fumbles and interceptions, the Chiefs capitalized on the errors and led at the end of the second quarter by 3, making the score 7 Chargers and 10 Chiefs. As the third quarter progressed, the Chargers would get very close to the red zone, but were never able to score due MACLOVIO from page 8 un papel. "Eso es lo que es abstracto.

The turnover resulted in seven points for the Chiefs, which left the Score in the game Chargers 7, Chiefs 17. Just when the Chargers looked as if they were going to lose the game, the Charger's defense racked up a key interception that left their offense in striking distance of the Chiefs red zone. The Chargers benefited from the interception because Tomlinson was then able to rush twice for the inzone and score another touchdown that made the score Chargers 14, Chiefs 17. Within those two rushes by Tomlinson, the amount of determination the Charger's offensive linemen had to help their running back reach the endzone. Also, these two rushes by Tomlinson were not simple runs because he had to la mentalidad que yo tema.

This determination and second efforts by the Chargers displayed their will to win. Towards the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, the Chargers and Chiefs battle back to back with touchdowns. The first strike was delivered by Chiefs quarterback Trent Green who increased the Chief's score by seven, and then the Charger's battled back with a hand off to #80 Curtis Conway, which led to his running touchdown. The score now was Chargers 21, Chiefs 24. Now entering the fourth quarter the Chiefs connected with a brilliant pass from Green to Tony Gonzalez that turned into a touchdown reception.

John Doddridge CSUSM student THE EDITORIAL TEAM WANTS TO KNOW: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE PRIDE PUBLISHING LETTERS IN SERBIAN? OR IN OTHER LANGUAGES? SEND AN EMAIL TO pride@csusm.edu AND VOICE YOUR OPINION. Dear Martha Sarabia, I had to take the time and express my admiration and respect for your writing. I enjoy your Spanish section, specially your response to the letter sent by Amy. I love the way you defended why we should have a Spanish section. You were professional and clever. I am looking forward to reading your next Spanish section. Thank you, Sonia Torres Junior Service Sector Management major �Response to "Speak Up to Your Government" Mr. Mann: I just got done reading your piece to about the President and the war on Terror, and I must say, you couldn't be more wrong about everything here! You say we've lost some personal freedoms, like what? Are you upset because you have to arrive at the airport another 30 minutes early since 9-11-01? Wow, that's a real tragedy. But I will take your advice on speaking to our leaders. I'm going to write the President and tell him how grateful I am for his realistic stance on terrorism. I've got news for you Mr. Hi Pride people, First I want to say that the layout of this week's issue was very impressive. You're all doing an awesome job and should be proud of yourselves. I was somewhat perturbed about the Opinion pages, though. I guess it's ideal for former editors to keep their lips shut regarding current editorial decisions, but I rarely speak out against certain Pride-related issues unless I feel they are important. So I hope you don't look at this as a "former-editor-butting-in," but rather another CSUSM student expressing her opinion about her student paper. In a past issue of the paper Pam Horner wrote a letter expressing her distaste for the "Mucky Mouse" cartoon; Desmond Barca's response, however, appeared in the same issue as Horner's letter. In this week's issue, Amy Granite wrote a letter where she disagreed with the editorial staff's choice to include Spanish articles; Martha Sarabia's 10 years with Hussein and nothing has worked. It should be crystal clear to you that Mann: there are evil people in he is another Adolph Hitler in this world such as Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Adolph the making. In addition, guys Hitler, etc... who NEVER listen to reason or negotiation. The m only way to stop them from POLITICAL doing more evil is to destroy COIMMENTARY them.

Well, please As the president said last allow me to enlighten you on Monday, we've tried every dip- how our government/military lomatic approach for the past really works. As a veteran of the response, however, appeared in I know you're all busy, but if the same issue as Granite's letter. you have any responses for me regarding the editorial policy Now from what I've seen with on this subject, I'd love to hear most newspapers {and if I'm it. I hope my point made sense. wrong, please correct me) readers If it didn't, let me know and I'll and editorial staff typically don't clarify respond to letters until after they have been published; as a reader Please remember that this letter I admire this decision because doesn't come with any ill will, it gives readers like myself a especially since I have a special chance to reflect on the opinions respect for the paper and for of the writer and read his/her members of the editorial staff. perspective. When the next issue comes around I look forward to Best regards, the disagreement and debate that Vicky Segall usually follow opinion letters. With the previously mentioned letters, however, it seemed like Horner and Granite's arguments Hi Vicky, were weakened because of immediate responses from the Thank you for your letter. editorial staff. I was curious if the rest of the student body has the same privilege as the editorial staff and may review and respond to letters before they are published? It doesn't seem fair, and I just wanted to throw this opinion out there. We hadn't really considered the points that you mentioned; we all thought that it would be interesting to have a public dialogue going back and forth in the same issue as well as in consecutive issues. In our eagerness to generate debate we may have overlooked, to some degree, the connotations of our decision. US Army, I can tell you that we go out of our way - more than any other nation in world history - to avoid civilian casualties. The reason that innocent people die is because guys, like Hussein and bin Laden, prefer to hide behind women and children. Why... because they know we won't attack. If you don't believe me, go to Camp Pendleton and ask some of the marines if I'm right. rebuilt their nations for them after WWII? Do you think Hitler would have rebuilt America for us had the Nazis won? Think about it Mr. Mann. Thanks to the courage of our military, (people who voluntarily give up their constitutional rights so you can have yours), we live in the freest country on the planet. And I can't help but laugh when a GRAD STUDENT whines and complains about And how do we exploit other the very country that gives him people Mr. Mann, by spread- the right whine and complain. ing democracy and rebuilding somebody's country for them? That's ridiculous. Dp you think Briän Dobbins, senior the Germans, Italians, and Japa- communications nese felt exploited because we As we're sure you know, readers are quick to criticize the paper and the editors are always on the defensive. It is true that we have taken some advantage of our editorial positions, however we think this is balanced to some degree by the fact that the students who write in are on the offensive, and are not subject to public scrutiny on a weekly basis. Criticism is healthy and appreciated; it means that we as editors have to be able to advocate and show justification for what we are doing. However, being under constant attack takes some getting used to. readers lose interest or shift their attention to newer issues. Two weeks interest fades, both on the part of the letters' authors and on the part of the editors. You ask if the rest of the student body has the same privileges as the editorial team. We can't avoid reading the letters before everyone else; waiting to respond would be a pretense. Daily papers respond as soon as possible and that is usually the next day. However, we are a weekly paper and therefore issues of last week are too old for this week. As the old Mexican saying goes, "No dejes para mañana lo que The idea of waiting until the puedes hacer hoy." Don't put off next issue to respond is attractive until tomorrow what could be because it may create anticipation done today. for our readers, help to captivate them, and ultimately keep them Thanks again for bringing this to picking up the paper/ However, our attention. as we are a weekly paper and not a daily, the letters we receive The Pride Editorial Team are published in response to issues that are already a week We encourage people who agree old. We feel that by responding or disagree with our response to immediately to the letters, we write to us. can address these issues before Response to "Separate but not Equal" This is in response to the article "Separate But Not Equal" by Melissa Reed in the September 24th paper. Melissa, while I applaud your "utopianistic" view on American Society in regards to diversityr I have to say I think it is extremely distorted. Before you jump on the defensive side I want you to know that I truly wish that our society were indeed as tolerant of diversity as you perceive it, but unfortunately it is not. I noticed that you yourself said in your article that, "as a Literature and Writing major... I have been forced to take many classes that in one way or another involve ethnic studies and cultural diversity." If the classes were not mandatory, would you have taken them simply out of scholarly interest? Probably not which is why the University chooses to make these t roes of classes mandatory. There are many people, just like you, who instead of celebrating cultural differences look at them negatively as hindrances. Recognizing and accepting cultural differences is what diversity is about. While you may not feel more "connected" to a member of another race or ethnicity after class, you should at least feel like you have a better understanding about their experiences and perspectives. And we all need to learn about these experiences and perspectives as they are extremely different depending on one's ethnic background. We have to be realistic and admit that there is no such thing as a same "across the board" American experience in terms of ethnicity. This is what classes like LTWR 450: Multiethnic American Literature portray. To say that classes like this are a slap in the face — classes that give everyone a chance to study literature which is no doubt based upon the different experiences, good and bad, that result from us living in a diverse society — is a total disregard for diversity. Literature" could not possibly fit the course objective of LTWR 450. While this class' goal is to compare writings from various ethnic groups found here in America, it also says that it " ... examines texts through thematic and/or historical frameworks in order to view them as products of varying cultural and historical circumstances." (pg. 268, CSUSM University Catalog). Imagine trying to study the American Civil War from one ethnic perspective. It's impossible because you have, the perspective of the slave owner and then that of the slave. The fact that you do not understand nor recognize cultural diversity as celebrating our differences in an equal manner, and does not necessarily constitute any separation, shows the lack of progress in cultural diversity and maybe even the failure of the classes to do what they were created to do. extent still are, diverse in terms of population, people were not always as accepting, as maybe you were, of the idea of ethnic diversity. I have yet to be made more aware of my multicultural background than when I lived* in New York. And while someone's ethnic background might not have been discussed at your family's dinner table, believe me, it was being discussed at many others. Lastly I would like to address your idea of "incorporation". Let's first get this straight. There is a huge difference between incorporation and assimilation. To just lump all literature, or even culture under the title of "American" would be a disservice and a blatant disregard to those members of the many ethnicities that have contributed to the greatness of America. You cannot expect people to simply label themselves as American especially when they I also grew up in New York have not always been treated City and while neighborhoods as such. And that is a story may have been, and to some that needs to be told from as To simply title a class "American many perspectives as possible. Instead of looking at diversity as a separatist idea, accept it as a necessary way to foster tolerance and as a means to possibly achieve real and total equality. I applaud the University f or its dedication to the idea of diversity and encourage the powers that be to do more to bring about an enthusiastic understanding and acceptance of our culturally diverse society. I also challenge CSUSM students to participate in the understanding of diversity by voluntarily taking classes that foster acceptance and celebrate our differences. By doing this, more people will see that these classes do not perpetuate separatist views but instead at best, create a sense of unity and at the very least, produce a higher level of understanding. Crystal J. Rodriguez, CSUSM Student Senior and Social Sciences Major with concentrations in Political Science, History, and Sociology �"Pride on the Prowl" in Full Color By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Claudia Pawlowski painting the Veterans* Association window. Photo by Desmond Barca. For the second time in homecoming history at Cal State San Marcos, the window-painting contest was a hit. The theme chosen this year was simply "Pride on the Prowl." Extravagant and creative paintings were displayed on the windows around Founder's Plaza all during homecoming week from Oct. 5th—13th. The CSUSM Veterans Association painted the window that was chosen as the winner of the 2002 window-painting contest by the Homecoming Planning Committee. Claudia Pawlowski and Justin Knott were the artistic talent that created the window painting next to the coffee cart that won the grand prize. Claudia, a Biology major CSUSM student, and member of the CSUSM Veterans Association, portrayed a cougar on the prowl beside an American Flag, as well as the theme boldly stated at the top of the window. Club, Alpha Xi Delta, Women's Studies Student Association, Asian Pacific Student Society, Alpha Chi Omega, CSUSM Veterans Association, and College Democrats were the student organizations that participated in this artistic adventure.

Institutional racism exists, according to the BFO, when a racial group uses ostensibly neutral and objective standards, policies and procedures to perpetrate their dominance and control, or where white dominance over people of color is embedded in the operations of social institutions. The BFO went on to say, that if left unaddressed, institutional racism contributes to the creation of a hostile working environment in which people of color, women, Jews, gays and lesbians are harassed simply because they are different. In a paper titled Institutional Racism at See, Allegations, pg. 8 Photo by Ty Carss/ The Pride October 21 ,The date of the "Teach-In" was chalked around the compass on Founder's Plaza in promotion of the event.

Photo by i y Carss/ The Pride Chalk messages such as this one which reads "Oct. 21 stop the hate" are scattered accross Founder's Plaza. A recent outburst in a classroom has led to the removal of a student from Cal State San Marcos. At the beginning of the school year, a white male student called an African American female faculty member a racial epithet during a class session. The faculty member tried to turn the situation into a teaching opportunity, according to President Bill Stacy. "The faculty member looked at the situation as it occurred and said, 'wait a minute, this is a learning environment, I 'm here to teach and this is dumbness; it's a teaching opportunity and let me deal with that,'" said Stacy. Over the following weeks, the instructor concluded "this is not dumbness, this is meanness, this is arrogance, it's racism," explained Stacy. The faculty member reported the incident to campus police and an investigation was started. Two and a half weeks passed, in which time the instructor canceled class occasionally and maintained minimal contact with the student. Said Stacy, of the university's handling of the incident, "I don't know that we handled that incident well, it came as a kind of a first. A lot of things that we do at the campus, unfortunately, as we evolve, we don't have this great manual to pull off the shelf from 100 years ago to say oh this is the incident, how do we do that." In light of rumors concerning the safety of the instructor, Stacy said, "I would do nothing to compromise the safety procedures in place, but let me say this, the faculty member is the safest person in San Diego right now." In the President's Statement issued earlier this week, Stacy reminded the CSUSM community that the zero tolerance policy on hate crimes is in effect on this campus.

By Donna Gonzales Pride Staff Writer Couples argue, children and parents argue. If you want better ways to handle this type of conflicts, you can attend a workshop called Handling Conflict in Relationships presented by Counseling and Psychological Services. The workshop will take place Tuesday, October 22 at noon in Craven Hall 6201. They will show ways to work through disharmony in dating, spouse, and parent/child relationships. The workshop is free, just come by. Besides this workshop, CPS have other endeavors both current and coming. On this campus, men are in the minority. Therefore, CPS sponsor a men's group for support and networking. No need to sign up, just come to Craven Hall 6201 on Thursdays from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. Also, they will soon have a "brown bag lunch" support group for re-entry women students. The time and place are still under negotiations. Another group, BIONIC, aimed at social networking is being developed. Besides these special workshops, both Dr. Fritz Kresler and Dr. Charlene Smith have regular counseling sessions. They stressed the importance of confidentiality. Students can have up to five free counseling ses- sions per semester for things like eating disorders, stress, study skills, depression, and family problems. They also work closely with off campus resources for family counseling, or any needs they cannot fill. Pamphlets are available on everything from fear of public speaking to suicide. CPS also have a library filled with books, audio tapes and video tapes on a wide variety of subjects. This is a small school and people can feel isolated, they have a staff of nine peer counselors trained to be there and listen when you need coaching, or just a sounding board. One big problem they have is not a new one at CSUSM, space. People react to the confinement; the school is overcrowded. Space is also a problem as they look for places to hold the workshops. Dr. Smith said, "We are not above begging, we will beg." Another source for stress, according to Dr. Smith, is change. With the constant growth, things are always changing, and "change is stressful." From the workshop on Handling Conflict in Relationships to information and a listening ear, CPS have help or information on almost anything you need. They are in Craven Hall 1300 in with Health Services, and you can call 750-4030 to set up an appointment, or get information.

Entrepeneur I nstitute offers home based business workshop By Tony Barton Editor-in-Chief Many see starting a business as a costly and time restrictive venture. On Saturday, the Van Ness Institute for entrepreneur is out to show otherwise. The workshop, entitled "How to Home Base: Business for the 90*s and Beyond", is designed to offer an option, entrepreneurship, to students set to experience a world of lessening j ob security. Four interactive marketing programs will be presented. Opening the workshop will be a discussion on how each of the businesses can provide for financial and personal needs. "Most of us are taught how to find a j ob rather than how to make a living," said Institute founder and entrepreneur Don Van Ness. "We need to offer classes on how to achieve financial independence. We need classes on how to create the job you want, not just how to look for a job. We need to practice practical skills in a practical way." Presenting interactive companies are National Telephone & Communications, Amway, Herbalife and Horizon Quest. Representatives from each will provide details and answer questions about the businesses' workings. There is no cost for the workshop, which runs from 9 am to 12 pm. Fastrac, a tax, accounting and entrepreneur program, is also locally sponsored by the Van Ness Institute. More information about weekly Fastrac meetings is available through Lisa Hasler at 459-4662. Sole responsibility for the content of the workshop is held by the Van Ness Institute, which is a 501(3) tax-exempt entity separate from Cal State San Marcos. j |p\- ;Mve:yOu- /fourflu shot i ': y m flu shot % % .to, ' d ', c t ^ •: Ad Space Available Call: 750-4998 •"••• 11:00 ani f �FEATURES The Pmde, Wednesday, OcrobeK 16, 1996 Phones and legs suit 'us' just fine TZe&ecca Slcutc/taruL I 'm not sure what the politically correct name is for us now, we "older" students returning to school after long absences, usually with families, jobs and kids who suck what's left over of the life out of us before we even begin our first class in the morning. But, seeing I 'm one of them, and don't give a hoot as to whether or not I offend myself, or any of the rest of us either, let's just call ourselves "us" for lack of a better term. Now, I d on't mind that I 'm not as spry walking up 97 stairs to class each day as some of my younger counterparts. Most of them tend to take that whole workout thing a little too seriously and have tennis shoes, that when pumped sufficiently, can lift them up the stairs with no effort on their parts, whatsoever. I could have them too if I wanted to spend the arm and partial leg required to buy them, but I just don't have many limbs left after my kids take care of their footwear needs, so I 'm left to drudge up those stairs the old -fashioned way, one foot at a time. Neither do I mind that most of my fellow students have nicer cars than I do. If a new Mazda Miata, or a red Mustang convertible are big deals to them, so be it. They'll never know the joys of spending three thousand dollars to straighten kid's teeth so that they can knock them out a few months later catching a wild pitch in their mouth. Nor will they feel the thrill of buying a water heater, garbage disposal and a new transmission all in the same month. Besides, new or otherwise, they still have to find a place-tospark it, just like the rest of "us". What I do mind, however, is that everyone is smarter than me. Now I admit I have a kind of mental block when it comes to all this new high-tech stuff. I freely accept I d on't know a RAM from a goat and frankly, I don't care. As long as I can type on it and it comes out on paper somewhere, well, I have everything I need. But, lately, there has been some disturbing talk of a thing called "e-mail" that's got me downright worried. Being they let me write anything I want in this column, I figure I may as well take advantage of it and ask some of my younger, less technically challenged peers, for some advice. For instance, why does everyone assume I know what it is or, worse, how to actually use it? Teachers toss the term around like it was a softball, classmates tell me to do it to them, even this very article you're reading is supposed to have it done to it. What I 'd like to know is, what exactly is it and why should I be doing it so often. Only a couple of years ago nobody ever heard of it and we all managed to get along just fine. Sure, I had to use something as primitive as the telephone to call people, or maybe even send something through the United States Postal Service if somebody had to take a look at it. But, now, it's as if unless you e-mail it, life as we know it will never be the same. What's worse, people treat it as if it were the telephone, and act as if it were as simple to use. Not once has anyone offered to explain the procedure to me. To my knowledge there is no class offered here at CSUSM in e-mail 101. I 've been told if I try to use it from my house it may not work, so I 'm better off to use it at the University. Is it me or is that just plain dumb. If I have to come here anyway, why not just hand it to the party concerned? And what if its a book, or a hamburger? Do I just drop it in the computer and push the button? Why does everyone assume we know something simply because they do. And if that's the case, what are we doing here, anyway? Now, d on't get the wrong idea, I 'm sure there are some of "us", who do have a clue and a pretty good understanding of all this high tech mumbo jumbo. But it seems to me the younger they are, the less intimidated they are by that which is new or unusual, hence the term, "no Fear". A case in point. When I was sitting at the table writing this, I asked my daughter, Maggie, what she thought of all this e-mail psychosis and her answer pretty much said it all. "Just point and click, Mom. Just point and click." I think I 'm too old for this. ® Gfiipe daleers f edeviwelcome By Paul Hilker Pride S taff Writer An African-Brazilian dance troupe from San Diego performed before a large crowd of CSUSM students at noon Tuesday. The dancers, Capoeira Angola Sao Bento Grande, elicited many outbursts of applause from event attenders. Lead by professor Dennis Newsome, the students are all of African decent. Sao Bento Grande is one of the five main forms of Capoeira Angola, an art form which was developed by Black slaves in Brazil during the 1500s. There are different forms of Capoeira like there are different forms of karate, says Newsome. The specific form that we practice, Capoeira Angola Sao Bento Grande originated in Angola, Africa but it was isolated in the slavery in Brazil during the 1500s. According to Newsome, thfe original Kapuera of : evolved i n ® ( l^taain forms. " Sao Bento Grande evolved from an Angolan ritual called Ngolo iii which men would copy the movements of the zebra, said Newsome. During a festival when a girl reached puberty, certain men would fight over the right t o m any her. The group of dancers performed some solo dances, and then performed duels. The dance f orm contains movements that are similar to martial arts fighting styles of karate.

The Capoeira Sao Bento Grande group is supported by Tekuira Jegnas, a San Diego-based dance company. According to Newsome, the motivation behind the program is to teach, restore, and maintain African h mtage among African students in San Diego. Bobby Hamilton, one of Newsome's students and dancers said that Newsome teaches them not only about danced but about their African roots. "Dennis teaches us stuff that wes should already know.

The Pwde, Wednesday, OcroheK 16, 1996 L ETTERS T O THE E DITOR Student claims rights violated in newsgroup ban Dear Editor, I am writing to tell the student body that I have been censored and my constitutional rights have been violated at California State University San Marcos. On Tuesday October 8th 1996 Teresa Macklin, Sandy Kuchler, and Norm Nicolson deemed my conduct on the newsgroup csusm.flamewar "inappropriate." Macklin stated, "The nature of the messages posted to csusm.flamewar is generally that of strong disagreement; only yours contain the inappropriate language and accusation that caused complaints." What's ironic about saying my posts contained "inappropriate accusation" is that my flamewar posts were in response to potentially libelous false accusations made by several CSUSM students and grad students who attempted to defame my leadership of the CSUSM Vegan & Animal Rights Club. Without proper support or evidence these students accused me of such things as racism, discrimination, and dictatorship-all false and potentially libelous accusations under California's Civil Code. But since the group is a FLAMEWAR newsgroup where Animal Cruelty: where's the proof? Dear Editor, I have a question for Ms. Ballard, author of the letter "We have a right to know what animals undergo" in the September 18th Pride issue. —How could she possible know if the animal experiments conducted on campus are "cruel"? She complained she never gained access to the animals and that the lab was "veiled in a shroud of secrecy". It seems then, that she speaks with authority and distress she does not possess. Frankly, t he e ditorial s ounded a s though the president of the new vegan and animal rights club was out looking for a fight. If so, the faculty's response is no surprise. The professors she addressed were not willing to become the target of a student club's search for a cause. And shame on her for exploiting Dr. Trujillo's dietary preference. I suggest Ms. Ballard ask students in laboratory classes like 390 and 391 about the animal component involved, perhaps even take one of the classes herself. She can also talk to the members of the Institutional Review Board which enforces ethical standards in research on campus. If after that, there is need for protest; it would be appropriate to call for an investigation. A few e-mail letters disregarded does not make for a conspiracy to conceal mishandling of laboratory animals. The (in my opinion) tired argument regarding the necessity for animal experimentation I will only mention briefly. I hope that anyone who has ever reached for See Rights, p. 8 "strong disagreement" and abusive remarks are expected I tolerated their misconduct. The vicious abuse directed at me was even on a home page accessable to anyone in the world: http://coyote.csusm.edu/public/ flamewar. Now as for my "language" being "inappropriate," I'll agree that is was quite harsh and nothing I would ever use in a professional forum, but my intent was to give people a taste of their own medicine and say things that would get up their noses (and apparently they did) and nobody has the right to make a value judgment on what language is "appropriate"—not in a flamewar newsgroup anyway. Furthermore, I am not the first person to use four letter words in csusm.flamewar—I am only the first person to be punished for "inappropriate language" in csusm.flamwar. Here is how my rights have been violated in Macklin's own words: "You are hereby prohibited from using CSUSM computing equipment for the purpose of posting Usenet News. You are prohibited from using CSUSM computing equipment for any activity not strictly related to your coursework here. This includes e-mail, ire, the web and the dialup lines. You are prohibited from posting to See Ban, p. 8 Students should care about transportation Dear Editor, I find it appalling how disinterested the students at CSUSM are when it comes to issues that directly affect them. Transportation is on of those issues that no one seems to care about. I find this ironic considering the fact that we are a commuter university. I always here people complaining about the traffic on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Instead of just complaining, why not try and do something useful? Your tax paying dollars are not being used for the expansion of the bridge, and do you know why? Because the students, faculty, and staff at CSUSM are not doing See Transport, p. 8 Disenchanted student states case To The Editor: I am tired of walking on eggshells because I am a single white male. Throughout the California State University system, and Cal State San Marcos in particular, the power elite's in charge of University requirements and regulations have been so thoroughly indoctrinated into the extreme Political Correctness mindset that, for fear of offending anyone, they wind up pleasing no one. Political Correctness, and the liberal mindset of major universities that eagerly embrace such nonsense, is destroying the human potential to be all that we might aspire to be, regardless of race, creed, or sex. I am sick of being told that I am a racist because I believe America should assert its sovereignty as a nation and protect her borders. I am angry that there are 250,000 illegal immigrants coming into my country per year, and my government doing absolutely nothing about it. I am not a racist. Yet because we have been so conditioned by the P.C. crap that is so prevalent on campus, I am labeled as such and it is simply not true. Why am I a racist because I want America to protect her borders? It is so that I, and others who share the same viewpoint, will be silenced and made to feel guilty when we are not. It is a ploy to avoid the truth out of fear. People caught up in the P.C. mindset cannot stand to have anyone challenge their position on any subject. So they try to silence their opponents by using such words as "racist", "bigoted", and "hateful". The root of the problem is that in America today we have so many "rights" that we as a people don't even know what is right anymore. We have turned into a nation of ninnies, running to big mamma government to suckle at its nipples and nurse us back to health from our perceived injustices. We are a nation of cry babies, unable to handle any threat, real or imagined, towards our own little, selfish comfort zones. And we do all of this in the name of diversity, when, in fact, it is just a bunch of liberal hogwash dressed up to appear as though we are becoming more "sensitive". Well, I do care. I care too much to be sensitive just for the sake of being sensi- tive, so I can feel good about myself and pat myself on the back for having done so. It is not compassion to let people keep on making mistakes. It is not sensitivity to allow society to just put its collective head into the blender of moral relativism and turn to mush. I speak of definite wrongs and rights, something we know nothing of in America today. We are so steeped into this victim mentality that we have become spiritually and mentally impotent. I j ust have one thing to ask. If there are no absolutes, no such thing as definite wrongs and definite rights, how can there be victims? In order for one to be a victim there has to have been a standard broken. If there are no absolutes, who is to say that the man who beats his wife is doing wrong? Who are you to judge him? Really, how dare you judge that fine, upstanding man? Don't you know that wife beating is just an alternative lifestyle? You are the racist! You are the hypocrite! If I want to murder you, who are you to tell me that is wrong? You, by your own words, condemn yourself when you condemn me for adhering to orthodox Judeo-Christian beliefs and principals concerning morality and the state of mankind. I am sick of this upside down world, where black is white and white is black. I am sick of the fact that one in five girls i s sexually abused before the age of 18.1 am sick of extreme animal rights activists who will put there lives on the line to save a sewer rat, yet scream and cuss in the face of pro-lifers who hold an opposing viewpoint. We are like dogs, barking at the first sign of anything that might challenge us. I am sick of seeing babies born addicted to crack. I am sick of people caught up in the welfare mentality that the government owes them something. I tell you this, the government owes nothing to any of us but a big swift kick in the rear! I am tired of anti-white man sentiments. I am tired of the KKK. I am tired of churches that do nothing, and I am tired of people who judge those churches that do. In short, when peoplefindout I am a Christian they expect me to act a certain way. When I don't, I am a "hypocrite". When I do, I am "holier than thou". Go figure that one out! Lets get our heads out of our butts, and lets call a spade a spade. Lets call right and wrong Congress opens up each session with prayer, the supreme court has the ten commandments on its walls yet neither is allowed in the public schools.

Pride Staff Writer O ne of Polly Jean H arvey's best qualities is her voice. Its manic shrieks and smooth calmness permeate her music and give it amazing feeling and variety. Her new album with musician John Parish, "Dance Hall At Louse Point", captures the best of her style. With Parish responsible for the music and Harvey penning the lyrics, this is her most accessible album yet. Parish creates a more comfortable s ound than y our a verage PJ H arvey r ecord. H e is as varied m usically a s Harvey is vocally, with the simple acoustic arrangement of "That Was My Veil" o n o ne h and a nd t he m ore electric,distortion-filled ' Taut" on the other. His style is an interesting enhancement. Harvey is at the peak of her game. Her lyrics are passionate and emotional, cutting to the heart of such subjects as war, failed relationships, and religious salvation. Her zeal and insighfs'are rare and powerful.

Even though she sang gut-wrenching ballads to go along with this, the image of twenty-four hour j oy is what was most associated with Crow, and it sold millions of albums. U nless you want to b e B obby McFerrin (of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" infamy), you c an't base a serious musical career on this sort of thing. So Crow decided she was merely content rather than bursting with happiness. Her second album, cleverly entitled "Sheryl Crow", has less optimism and more of a bluesy, bold sound, and is greater illustration of her talents. On a purely superficial level, Crow h as u ndergone a drastic makeover. Gone is the long curly hair and sassy l ittle s mirk, and in t heir p lace a re straight, grungy-looking locks and a grimace of steel. She now looks more like Nirvana's deceased leader, Kurt Cobain, than anything else. But the makeover is, in fact, an improvement. Like the music on the al- bum, its certainly different, but not altogether unpleasant. On "If It Makes You Happy," one of the album's singles, Crow sings with a more confident and accomplished voice that has more depth than on her f irst album, "Tuesday Night Music Club." The album has seen a lot of media coverage due to a controversy involving Wal-Mart, the large chain store which refused to sell the album in their stores due to a lyric in the song "Love I s A G ood T hing," w hich s tates, "Watch our children as they kill each other, with a gun they bought at a WalMart discount store." Its really a pretty silly debate, and it puts something of a stigma on an excellent album. Crow obviously has better things to sing about than Walmart's firearm policies, and she does so on the entire album. As a second album should, Crow's sophomore effort is a marked improvement f rom her p remier e ffort, and shows her growth as a songwriter and a musician. She seems ready and capable of joining the ranks of the music world's top females, and looks to be staying there.

D efying the conventional can pay o ff. Who would think that Tim Booth, lead singer of the n ow-defunct B ritish r ock b and J ames, and A ngelo Badalamenti, composer of the lush soundtrack to David Lynch's "Twin P eaks" and " Blue Velvet", would produce quality music together? Their collaboration, called "Booth and the Bad Angel", manages to utilize the best of both of their worlds, showcasing their talents both as individuals and as a duo. Booth's voice is dreamy and resonant on some songs, and has more of an upbeat rock and roll sensibility on others. This is the best work of his career, far superior to anything ever produced by James. He seems to change mood as Badalamenti changes musical style, showing something of a synthesis. Some songs on the album focus more on the talents of one artist than the other." While I Believe" is a Boothdominated vocal with the music a secondary element, "life Gets Better" is Badalamenti's show, highlighted by a psy- SPECIAL STUDENT, YOUTH & TEACHER FARES PARIS N EW Y ORK COSTA RICA CANCUN SYDNEY $480 f MES ME EACH WAY fROV $AN OFGO AND/0« LOS ANGELES T*$ED ON KXMFFL* PURCHASE.

This is an interesting element in the album, in that the listener can glean a feel for each musician individually. On any group effort, it is important to achieve this. There are other songs, like "Dance of the Bad Angels", in which the two almost sound as if they were in competition, trying to outdo each other. But instead of being distracting, this leads to the best music on the album. The song lyrics are a roller-coaster of emotions, ranging f rom melodramatic to passionate. They are comparable to those of The Doors to a certain degree, and have a definite Jim Morrison- esque feel to them. It seems overdone at times, but still intriguing. An interesting side note about the lyrics is that both B ooth a nd B adadamenti s hare t he c redit f or t he songwriting. Again there is a synthesis, as the lighter sound of Booth balances out the dark and moody Badalamenti. Badalamenti, relatively unfamiliar with the world of rock, proves he is a diverse artist. He creates stylish music to back Booth, and still retains h is own style in new waters. "Booth and the Bad Angel" is highly-textured and atmospheric. Booth and Badalamenti mix their talents adeptly, coming away with a product that accentuates them both. Help WantedMen/Women earn $ 480 w eekly assemling circuit boards/electronic components at home.

Pride Staff Writer Everybody wants to j ump on the Quentin Tarantino bandwagon. The success of 1994's "Pulp Fiction" has inspired a number of imitators, none of which have amounted to quality filmmaking. Director John Herzfeld is the latest victim of this syndrome, with "Two Days in the Valley". "Two Days in the Valley" deals with the lives of ten characters who have absolutely nothing in common and how they intersect. At the heart of the plot is a murder involving an insurance policy and plenty of money. I t's not that itfs a bad movie. I t's j ust too much movie in not enough time. Herzfeld throws in about ten different subplots to go with all the characters, and neither the plost nor the characters are given enough time to be properly developed, resulting in a disjointed mess of a movie. Some of the suplots left hanging are probably enough to base entire movies on. But instead they are put together and somehow expected to add up to something. A contract killer's plans for murder and fast money go awry. An amauter hitman becomes a reluctant kidnapper, holding an art dealer and his secretary hostage. A vice cop trying to get promoted is at odds with his burned-out partner. Are you confused yet? The other main problem with "Two Days in the Valley" ties into the plot problems, in that the characters are not given enough development for the audience to s ufficiently care about them. One of the most interesting is the angry veteran vice cop whose failed marriage and suspension f rom police duty is only briefly touched upon. Just when you begin t o identify with him, he is gone f or the remainder of the movie. The casting is also questionable, as many of the actors in the movie have played these basic characters before. Somehow, James Spader always ends u p as a calculating villain. Danny Aiello plays as an Italian who is a little misunderstood but can cook. His ethnicity is no excuse- itfs a perfect illustration of the typecasting that goes on in the movie. Based on this offering, John Herzfeld has the ability to make a good film. "Two Days in the Valley" has its moments, but not many of them. It may not have been intentional, but it seems to have tried to capture the feel of "Pulp Fiction's" eclectic'cast and structure. ""Two Days in the Valley" is a study in confusion and, ultimately, indifference. Not quite, but almost.

Contrasting it are songs like "City Of No Sun" and ' Taut," which are more eclectic and rollicky. No two songs sound the same, and most demand multiple listenings to fully grasp them. Harvey performs a cover of Peggy L ee's "Is That All There Is?" in a barely audible, half-singing, half- speaking voice. While Peggy Lee purists might scoff at the cover, Harvey gives it a very lethargic feel, and puts her own spin on it rather than doing a karaoke version. "Dance Hall At Louse Point" is going to be used as the basis for a major contemporary dance performance by choreographer Mark Bruce in early 1997, which will tour in Britain. Listening to the album and imagining it as a dance piece is intriguing. It should make f or an artistic collaboration. "Dance Hall At Louse Point" is the perfect jumpingon point f or anyone unfamiliar to PJ Harvey.

Sure, you can still complain, but complain to the right people—the people who can really change things.

I live in Oceanside and ride the bus, so I have an even bigger complaint than all of the car-driving students, faculty, and staff. Imagine if you didn't have a car, and you had to ride the bus to CSUSM. (Yes, it is that bad and worse). The only bus that goes t o CSUSM runs every sixty to eighty minutes and is late all the time.

Izabel Solis, a student and member of M.E.Ch.A. (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan), introduced Davis by acknowledging her accomplishments, and thanking her for being an inspiration for many activists. "How can we understand the process t hat' led from a deep sense of mourning for people who died, to this ubiquitous, flag-waving nationalism that has gripped the nation?" began Davis. She focused her talk on current events, and the roles nationalism and hate have played worldwide. "What does the phrase 'We as Americans' mean? People from Canada, Mexico, San Salvador, and Brazil are Americans, too ... we have taken on the name of a whole continent," said Davis. "The phrase 'We as Americans' also has a form of rejecting communities: Arab, Middle Eastern, and South Asian communities are all pegged as not American. Think about the vocabulary we use — rhetoric gives expression to ideologies we might not want to embrace." She asked the audience to think critically of people's reactions to the war and the individuals affected by it. "How do we build a stronger anti-war and anti-racism consciousness? We must maintain a critical historical memory," said Davis. "Think about the attack on the World Trade Center, and the deep sense of mourning we felt for the people who died. We are not invited to think about people in those ways that are from other countries. We can only feel so strongly for other Americans." Davis also spoke about the Japanese-American internment camps during World War II, and the McCarthy Era. According to Davis, these examples of U.S. history show when the nation's government and leaders acted out of fear. "We are a nation that values free speech," said Davis. "No one spoke out then." Her commentary on President George W. Bush drew both laughter and applause from some members of the audience. Davis told listeners that the results of the Florida re-count were scheduled for announcement early this month, but it was determined as unimportant at this time. "If Bush was the winner, they would have announced it," said Davis. She quipped, "... people think Bush has gotten stronger. His speech writer has gotten better." Davis spoke in support of all fundraising contributions to the victims of September 11, but she noted that many undocumented workers also lost their lives. Their families are unable to seek aide because they live in fear of deportation.

Each Sunday's weather was perfect year, in mid- October, the sorority gathers sponsors and invites walkers to join them in an hour-long walk around Discovery Lake. Registration was $ 15 and included breakfast and a souvenir t-shirt. This year, half of the funds raised by Cal State San Marcos' Iota Tau Chapter will go to Becky's House, a San Diego based shelter for battered women. The remaining funds will be sent to the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation. Omega was founded in 1979 and began fundraising for victims of domestic violence in 1992. The foundation combines monies raised by Omega chapters across the nation to .support victims of domestic violence. Philanthropy Fundraising Chair Ashley Erro said she felt attendance was up this year. "We had a lot better turn out, but we always hope for more." "October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Watch for our 'Have a Heart' booth in Founder's Plaza during the last week of October," said Erro. "We sell hearts for $1 and hang them around campus. You get to decorate them in memory of victims of domestic violence or dedicate it to who ever you chose." Approximately 50 schools were represented on Monday at the Graduate and Professional School Fair hosted by CSUSM'S Career and Assessment Center. Cal State San Marcos is one of nine CSUs that offers this event, and the Career Center has been involved with the fair for the past seven years. Students learned about financial aid availability within the schools, graduation assistance, and employment possibilities for students. Among the many schools at the fair were Georgetown University, John Hopkins University, Whittier Law School, University of Notre Dame, Pepperdine University, the Academy of Art College, Hawaii Pacific University, UCLA, the Peace Corps, and Central Michigan University. "The fair provided a link for students to get exposure to the variety of graduate and professional school programs that are available," said Sandy Punch, director of the Career and Assessment Center. "It sparked the students' interest and got them motivated." Monday afternoon, the Career Center offered a graduate school workshop after the fair. The workshop helped students with school selections, application and admission processes, and gave them information on financial aid. Punch mentioned that the Career Center also offers a software program, Choices CT, which may help students with career selections. Students that use Choices CT can take an aptitude test, access occupational information, job listings skills, or interest checklists. California Center for the Arts, Escondido, will host a job fair from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., Nov. 1. Punch recommended that students dress professionally and bring their resumes. �Activist Inaugurates E thnic Studies Program at CSUSM Dean Jonathan Poullard (far right) and many professors, students, and staffattended the reception celebrating the new Ethnic Studies minor at CSUSM after Angela Davis' lecture.

"It seems like they present one ideology, one view point, and don't give students a rounded group of speakers," he said. "They're leaning to the political left." Poullard, however, said that the Intercultural Speaker Series would include a diverse group of speakers, including those with different political and cultural perspectives. "One day we might even have author Amy Tan," commented Poullard, who has been working with some of the coordinators of the speaker series, the Campus Climate Committee, a studentstaff group working to improve student life on campus. As stated in a press release sent out by YAF last Tuesday, "Young Americans for Freedom is opposed on the specific grounds that this event is being funded, sponsored, and promoted by the school. CSUSMYAF would not object to Angela Davis coming to our campus if the event were sponsored by a student organization and funded on their dime." "YAF believes nothing to be greater than the freedom of speech," Grafstrom stated in the press release, "however this boycott is about the school administration using school funds to subject students to a certain political bias. That is not free speech, it is indoctrination." It's part of the college experience," said Dean Manship, ASI President. "We'll have some controversial speakers, but they're here to present different cultures. It sounded like most people thought it was a positive experience, even though some people may not agree. Hopefully we can bring someone from the political right." Grafstrom said he thought it would be . "great" if the-university invited more political speakers with varying perspectives. He said he received some favorable responses for the boycott from the community. When asked if any students responded to the boycott, however, Grafstrom said, "We haven't received much student feedback."

"The intelligence community is like a goalie in a unlit hockey ring," analogized Kane. "Every once in a while the opposition gets a goal through." But Kane went on to say that the intelligence community knew that the alleged ringleader of the terrorists, Muhamed Atta, was in the United States. Kane, who still has friends in the military community, also said, "The military front is not in Afghanistan, it should be our home. Home is where we have to win." He also discussed the effect that the terrorist attacks would have on an individual's freedom and privacy. "Freedoms are on the chopping block," Kane said, "and .it's bad policy to give up too many freedoms. That is what the terrorists want." Addressing the protection of the identity of the U.S., Kane said that many of the terrorists stole identities of people not necessarily in the United States, but from other countries as well, and entered the U.S. as those individuals. "The weapons were the terrorists themselves," he said.

As my friend and I walked inside the Howard Brubeck Theatre at Palomar College for the opening night of the "The Last Night at Ballyhoo," last Friday, we looked around for clues that would reveal the framework of the play. The lights went off and the play began. Reba Freitag (played by Frances Regal), Boo Levy (Janelle Carta), and Lala Levy (Melissa Murphy), appeared onstage. Still clueless about what the play was about, I listened carefully. . "The Last Night of Ballyhoo," by Alfred Uhry, takes place in Atlanta, Ga. in December of 1939. The movie, "Gone With the Wind" is making its premiere, and Hitler is invading Poland, but the people of Atlanta are much more concerned about who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. The action takes place mostly in Adolph Freitag's house. I enjoyed this Tony-award winning dramatic comedy, which was directed by Paul Larmer. I was particularly amused by Janelle Carta's performance as Boo, the widow and sister of bachelor Adolph (Brett Sauey). Boo exaggerated, argued and complained all the time. Nothing pleased her, and I could see that through her facial expressions, speech, and body movements. Then there is Reba, the widowed sister-in-law who is calm, but a little bit crazy. In Boo's opinion, the Freitags are several social rungs below her. Nonetheless, her daughter, Lala, is charmed by Joe Farkas (John De Carlo), Adolph's Brooklyn-born assistant, who Adolph invites to dinner. However Joe shows no interest in her, and wants to leave the Freitag's home - 1 don't blame him, knowing Boo's character, Reba's serenity, and Lala's flirting. Melissa Murphy plays the unpopular, dreamy and immature Lala. It is no surprise why her mother is worried about finding a husband for Lala. Joe later meets Lala's cousin, Sunny (Lauren Palazzo), and falls in love with her. This creates excitement throughout the play. As Reba's daughter comes home for Christmas, so does the hilarious Peachy Weil (played by Aaron Forrester), a member of one of the finest Jewish families in the South who complete the cast. Chaos ensues as everyone prepares for the event of the year, Ballyhoo. The audience, which included parents, relatives, and friends of the actors, seemed to enjoy the students' performance of this humorous and complex play. Through comedy, romance and revelations, the family gets pulled apart and mended together. The struggle of identity and finding one's self is also well depicted in this play.

REWARD! procreative@iinet.com Miscellaneous �By VICTOR PADILLA Pride Staff Writer e "Megiddo," the sequel to the sleeper-hit film "Omega Code" brings to the big screen the climatic saga between good and evil, spirit and man, in the Biblical battle known as Armageddon. The movie stars Michael York and Michael Biehn, and is set in I960, when Satan discovers the perfect protege for his evil mission in a young boy named Stone Alexander (York); The roots of evil developing in Stone become evident early on when he attempts to murder his baby brother, David, by lighting him on fire. In an attempt to somehow straighten out young Stone's twisted behavior, his father Daniel (David Hedison), the owner of a giant media corporation, sends young Stone to a prestigious military academy situated outside of Rome run by General Francini (Franco Nero). Growing up in the academy, with much help from his possessor Satan, Stone quickly rises to the top of his class, excelling in strategic and military skills, as well as ruthlessness. Stone meets a young lady named Gabriella (Diane Venora), the daughter of General Francini. Stone and Gabriella begin dating, and they eventually get married. When he graduates from the military academy, Stone receives an unexpected visit from his father, and younger brother David, whom he has not seen since the torching incident. After numerous pleas from his father to come back home, Stone rejects the offer. Stone has bigger and better plans. At the graduation ceremony he tells his father that he intends to set out and become an international politician by working with the European Union. Years go by, and the two brothers, Stone and David, go their own separate ways.

Birth Choice helped me stand up for I wanted." Sheri "The one-on-one support was Just what 1 neededLiz �According -to the support services listed in the general catalogue, Gal Sate San Marcos is 'Disabled Student Friendly.' The campus offers support services including: "readers, notetakers, interpreters or captioners (for the hearing impaired), testing accommodations, access to specially adapted equipment, application assistance, supplemental academic advising, learning disability assessment, disability-related counseling and priority registration. However, what they don't offer is acceptable access to our campus classrooms and acceptable evacuation procedures. In light of last week's 'nonemergency' power outage, what is a wheelchair-bound student suppose to do when the elevators no longer function? How can we expect such a situation to be handled in a true emergency? John Segoria from Disabled Student Services said, "I would hope there would be evacuation chairs placed in each building in case of emergencies." Currently, CSUSM does not have any evacuation chairs to bring disabled people down the stairs. Penny Lanese, who uses a wheelchair,said, "In terms of the power outage, I was very, fortunate to be on a floor with a ground level when it happened." Lanese was fortunate because she planned for such an event based on previous difficulties with CSUSM elevators. "Since the elevator problems in Academic Hall, I always ask DSS to make sure that all of my classes are on a ground level, so if something happens (whether it be a broken elevator, power outage, fire or otherwise) I can leave easily enough." "The [electric] doors are always a problem, but recently we discovered, that not all of the doors are broken, but rather turned off via a switch way up at the top," said Lanese. "I think that concerns me more than a broken door, because in order for the door to not function, someone would have to knowingly turn off that switch and [know] the consequence of their actions." We believe it is CSUSM's job to make sure all students have safe and consistent access to buildings, floors and class- rooms. All of us know how difficult it is to get around a campus made mostly of stairs and mazelike hallways - imagine what it would it entails to do so in a wheelchair. What can our administration do to further accommodate CSUSM Disabled Students? Lanese made a suggestion. "Although I realize it is a tough thing for DSS and Event Scheduling to make sure every class with a disabled student or professor has ground floor access, I think that it is the best solution." Truly, as Segoria concurred, this is a public safety issue, as well as a large concern for disabled students. "We need to be able to evacuate people from the third or fourth floors - students, faculty and staff alike," Segoria said. HAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO PRIDE@CSUSM.EDU "Part of the problem," Segoria said, "is that .our campus is built up against a hill, and there are lots of stairs. We can't build another building with just one elevator." CSUSM's newest building. University Hall, has two elevators, and the new library will also have two. "We're doing a better job of campus development now." Perhaps the most important issue at the moment is consideration - while many possible changes or new additions, even new buildings, are in the works, things won't change overnight. If we don't have evacuation chairs in each of the buildings, it seems it might be in order to get some and to promote awareness around our campus of possible situations that might need immediate attendance.

Prager Judge of the Superior Court www.bamlawca.con) 1-800-793-9998 Men's Soccer Ties UCSD during Homecoming ByJMARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer In the spirit of homecoming week, and with far more spectators than usual, the men's soccer team played against UCSD during Tuesdays homecoming game, and tied. "The game was good," said Coach Khalid Al-Shafie. We had more attacks on the front and that's how we scored." The Cougars were down by 2 points in the first half of the game, with a score of 0-2, but they had an excellent comeback. When CSUSM scored its first goal during the last half of the game, the crowd could not hold back its excitement. This excitement increased even more after Manuel Maldonado scored the second goal in the last 15 minutes of the game. The final score was tied, 2-2. UCSD received a red card after their player committed a fault against Maldonado, who was down on the ground for a few minutes due to a pain in his right leg. After the game, Maldonado, a sophomore computer science major, said, I am just happy because everybody gave their best. This is how we should always play." Approximately 30 people cheered on the Cougar soccer players. Although Tuesdays turn out was greater than usual, player Antonio Zepeda, a juniofmajoring in Liberal studies said, "We need more people to come and support us." The team played two more games last week, against USC, and a rematch against UCSD. The Cougars have won one game, lost two, and, with the homecoming game, tied one game. Two games were cancelled, including a game against Utah State University, when the referee failed to show up. "The referee association just forgot about the game," said Al-shafie. The Cougars also cancelled a game against UC Santa Barbara on Sept. 30, due to the injury of one of their players who had to be hospitalized. The.player is fine, however he suffered a broken arm in the game against UCSB. Neither cancelled game has been rescheduled. "UC Santa Barbara soccer players will come down probably on the 21 of this month," said Al-shafie Players said they are excited about their progress thus far, but Al-shafie said he felt that there are some areas that still need to be improved. "We need to play the ball quicker and keep it moving," he said. Our weakness is that we can't hold a ball too long." % st Phantom Shopper Program Fall 2001 Be a part of Assessing the Quality of Service at Cal State San Marcos and Earn Money! •How Much? $150.00 •How Many Hours? 19 Hours of work C ome by the ASI Office i n C ommons 203 to s ign up or call (760) 750-4990 �Events Month.

AB 1413 proposed tighter regulations to the CSU Board of Trustees' executive compensation proceedings. Following the approval of 11% pay raises for executives at last months Board of Trustees meeting, the CFA campaigned heavily against these; raises, backing passage of AB 1413 and SB 190, another piece of CSU reform legislation. Working closely with Assemblyman, - Anthony Portantino, Senator Xeland Yee, and Lieutenant Governor John Garemendi, the CFA reported on fraudulent and wasteful spending practices within the CSU executive compensation policy. In response to Governor Schwarzenegger's veto, Assemblyman Portantino, Chair of the Assembly Committee on Higher Education and author of the vetoed bill, commented, "as a strong advocate of higher education, I am extremely disappointed with this veto."

Cross country invites campus community to compete Cougar 5K/8K Challenge to be held at CSUSM BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The USA Track & Field Dirt Dog Cross Country series is set to come through San Marcos this Saturday, christening the newly created on-campus cross country course. The Cougar 5K/8K Challenge marks the first ever cross country meet hosted by CSUSM. The races, however, are put on by an outside organization, and while both the CSUSM men's and women's teams will compete, their times and results will have no bearing on the official NAIA standings or rankings. There will be a 5K run and an 8K run, offering partici- VOL. X VIII NO. 7 pants a range of difficulty on the virtually untested course. The course begins at Mangrum track and takes runners around towards the Clarke Field House, then runs parallel to Campus Drive to Barham Drive, leading to Twin Oaks Valley Road before returning participants back on to Mangrum. The #8 ranked Cougars women's team will take the course at 9:00 a.m. to run in the 5K, and the #8 ranked Cougars men's team will follow soon after, running the 8K at 9:45 a.m. This event is open to the public. Registration, begins at 7:45 at Mangrum Track on the day ofthe race; the entry fee is $15. CSUSM Athletic Director, Steve Nichols sums up the uncommon nature of the event, saying "This race is especially unique in that members of the campus and surrounding communities can not only come to witness the excitement of collegiate cross-country up close - they can even join in as participants." The Cougar 5K/8K Challenge will offer participants an up close and personal taste of intercollegiate cross-country by bringing the public together to compete with one of the top NAIA cross-country programs. Thanks to Associated Students Inc. and Habitat for Humanity, Alternative Spring Break is back for its fifth year at Cal State San Marcos Alternative Spring Break gives students the chance to give back to the community. Last year, the program expanded out of state for the first time by going to New Orleans, helping to restore the damage left over from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. According to the National Hurricane Center, Katrina, which struck the Southeastern part of the United States, was the costliest and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in United States history, This year the program will return to New Orleans to work alongside Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit organization that specializes in building homes for the underprivileged. The 2008 trip lasts from Mar.30 to Apr.5. Applications are available to download at the ASI website (http://www.csusm. edu/asi/) and are due by Nov. 30.

In collaboration with the Washington D.C. based Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation and the CSUSM Department of Political Science, the CSUSM Model United Nations hosted a campus visit by former Lieutenant General, Robert Gard, of the U.S. Army and former General, Joseph P. Hoar, of the U.S. Marine Corps. The visit was one of many stops in San Diego for the two retired gen- erals as part of a two-day long series of speaking engagements critical of the Bush administration's handling of both the war in Iraq and relations with Iran. General Joseph Hoar served as the Deputy for Operations for the Marine Corps during the Gulf War and later as the Commander-inChief of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the unified combatant command that oversees jointmilitary operations in the MiddleEast, East Africa, and Central Asia. Lt. General Dr. Robert G. Gard served in the U.S. Army with combat service in Korea and Vietnam.

On the topic of immediate withdrawal, General Hoar noted, "that is just not possible," especially given "concerns about stability" and "significant requirements to protect our friends," referring to Israel and other Arab-ally states. The discussion eventually shifted to Iran, where General Hoar stated "is a much more complicated problem." Citing both historical misunderstandings and a lack of support from regional powers in the Middle East, General Hoar warned against the possibility of a war against Iran. He also maintained that because Iran does not "have the capability to attack the United States directly," Iran will "retaliate by destroying infrastructure facilities all up and down the gulf and elsewhere in the region that belong to friends of the United States." The two emphasized opening up discussions with Iran's government in the belief that Iran is not the enemy they are made out to be. As Lt. General Gard clarified, "Iran cooperated with us when we ran the Taliban out of Afghanistan and...in response for their cooperation, just weeks later in early 2002, is when the President made Iran a charter member of the so called 'Axis of Evil'." At the end of their presentations, the two generals opened up the discussion for questions from the audience. One student asked, "What do you think is going to happen in the couple of months with the Iran issue?" General Hoar responded, stating his belief "that there are very powerful forces in the U.S. government that believe the United States should attack Iran." Students also addressed in their questions the issues of the Blackwater controversy, possible conflicts of interest with Vice President Cheney and Halliburton, and even past wars. After answering all questions that time permitted, the two generals received a standing ovation and departed for another speaking engagement. As CSUSM continues to grow, students can expect more visits from prominent figures in the future.

The Chancellor's Office released an official response to the veto earlier this week. "We are pleased the Governor has vetoed AB 1413," said Chancellor Reed. The Chancellor also maintained, "We remain committed to operating the CSU with the highest possible level of transparency and accountability to students, taxpayers, policymakers and the public." Despite this veto, Governor Schwarzenegger stated, "when appropriate, I do believe that there should be transparency in our educational systems so that the public has confidence in our institutions, which is why I am signing Senate Bill 190 that provides some additional openness and accessibility for the public on matters of executive compensation."

The two have been vocal critics of the handling of the war in Iraq since the 2003 invasion. In May of 2004, General Hoar spoke before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, commenting on the war in Iraq, "I believe we are absolutely on the brink of failure. We are looking into the abyss." Much to the same effect, their message at Wednesday's presentation focused on alleged faults in military strategy. In Lt. General Gard's presentation, he explained "that we went into Iraq-invaded the country-with what turned out to be a force far too small to deal with the consequences of the invasion when the insurgency began." He also went on to state that U.S. forces "were not trained to fight counter-insurgency, they were trained by a more conventional style of war." Building on Lt.

What was the one thing that was notably absent from the huge 41-3 win last week? The prowess and domination of LaDainian Tomlinson that Chargers fans have come to know and love over the past few years. Last Sunday the Chargers managed to score four touchdowns on offense; none of which were in the hands of Tomlinson. Fast-forward seven days, and in front of 67,000 person crowd at Qualcomm, Tomlinson scored four touchdowns of his own on the way to 199 yards rushing, in easily his most explosive game of the season thus far. Tomlinson guided the Chargers to 28-14 victory; the eighth straight over the Raiders. The famed Chargers-Raiders rivalry went down in front of a packed house, with fan support on both sides of the ball. The Raiders left droves of Los Angeles area Raiders fans teamless, when the organization packed up and moved from Los Angeles to Oakland in 1995. These fans are still strong today, and many make a point to take the journey south and catch the Raiders in their only Southern California appearance of the season. The Chargers, feeding off last week's momentum, scored on the first drive, advancing the ball 80 yards in 11 plays with a balanced air to ground attack. The drive culminated in a threeyard Tomlinson touchdown that sent him leaping over Raiders defense and crossing the plane of the goal line at a nearly vertical angle. It took only three plays on the ensuing Oakland possession for the Chargers' defense to get to work. Cornerback, Drayton Florence, intercepted Daunte Culpepper's third and 12 pass intended for wide receiver, Jerry Porter. On the very next drive, Tomlinson rushed through traffic to the left, for a 27-yard touchdown. Not only had Tomlinson matched his touchdown total on the season in only eight minutes, but he also tied John Riggins for fifth all-time in career rushing touchdowns, with 104. Oakland struck in the second quarter, as linebacker, Thomas Howard, intercepted a Philip Rivers pass and returned it for a 66-yard defensive touchdown. Early in the third quarter, on a drive sparked by a Philip Rivers to Antonio Gates 28- yard pass, Tomlinson scored again, this time for 13 yards. The Raiders scored their final points with 5:18 left in the fourth quarter as Daunte Culpepper passed to rookie tight end, Zach Miller, for a goal line touchdown. Tomlinson scored his 106career touchdown on a massive 41-yard rush that gave the Chargers some insurance with a 28-14 lead. A lead that would be made final after a disastrous attempt at a Raiders comeback. Tomlinson's quest through the record books met up with another legend in this game. LT's final touchdown put him in a tie with Jim Brown for fourth place all-time in career rushing touchdowns. The Chargers victory pushed them to 3-3 overall on the season, putting them in a tie for first place in the AFC West with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers take a week off and return to the field on October 28 at home to face the Houston Texans at 1:05 p.m. on CBS.

MCS is available both on and off campus and can be accessed in one of three ways: a link is placed in WebCT, typing "mcs" into a campus computer's web browser, or, if being accessed from off campus, typing "http://mcs.csusm.edu" into the browser. Originally, the MCS was intended to replace the large and difficult to maintain cable television system on campus. By streaming video over the network, Integrated Information Technology Services (ITTS) was able to not only cut down on the clutter of the cabling system, but also include the off campus support, integrate it into the WebCT system and record off air, similar to a TIVO, The online media library was piloted last spring with a few instructor volunteers. However, as it is a new system, development will be slow in order to make sure it works with all computers. As instructors request different materials be placed in the media library, the number of videos on the server vary from semester to semester. Although the MCS is not intended as an archive for student videos, ITTS does help student to place materials on the serves for course-related purposes. In order to deliver relevant and desired content, an informal poll of campus organizations that use the MCS is conducted and the results are incorporated into the selection as much as possible. Many of the popular cable channels are not available due to the school's basic cable feed from Time-Warner. �Children Website of the Week .3ÜLY1 one area's tragedy and exposes it worldwide Invisiblechildren.com takes BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer If you have not heard of Invisible Children by now, it is about time you did. Invisible Children Inc. is an organization founded by San Diego area filmmakers Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole, dedicated to creating awareness for the plight and poverty of the people ofNorthern Uganda. Northern Uganda is in the middle of a civil war between its established government and rebel group, the Lords Resistance Army. The Lords Resistance Army, formed in 1987, is led by Joseph Kony, who, along with his soldiers, has been openly accused of violent and widespread human torture, mutilation, rape and abduction. The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is most well known for its forced army recruitment by kidnapping. In a 2006 survey declared that more than 66,000 youths were abducted by the LRA since 1987. Invisible Children started as a rough cut documentary filmed in the spring of2003. According to the website, thefilmmakerswent into the opportunity as a "filmmaking adventure," but "[the adventure] transformed into much more when these boys from Southern Califor- nia discovered a tragedy that both disgusted and inspired them - A tragedy where children are both the weapons and the victims. What started as a 55- minute rough cut documentary four years ago, has turned into multifaceted, non-profit organization dedicated to making a difference, or as the website states "transforming apathy into activism." The main focus of the website is directed toward the most tangible medium of communication oil the internet: video. Nearly .every featured project on the website is greeted with a hip, modern introduction video that conveys the main points in a way that not only grabs the viewer's attention, but informs him or her along the Avay. The current marquee project highlighted on the website is the "Schools for Schools" program! The "Schools for Schools" project is dedicated to fostering the desire for the children of Northern Uganda to acquire an education. The project will achieve this by taking the top 46 high schools in Northern Uganda and turning them into the best schools in the country, in an effort to match the academic averages of the rest of the African continent. The program focuses on five aspects for reform: water, teachers, books, buildings, and technology. The "Schools for Schools" project is supported by middle schools, high schools, and colleges in America. To date, more than $112,000 has been raised by 547 schools with 5,892 students participating.

That means that we do things like swap articles, have a little family dinner once a week, and carpool in the same Impala for drive-bys. You know how it is. But apparently, all this comradery wasn't enough. We all decided to get the same illness too. It's that season again, when the guy next to you in PSCI 100 starts sneezing and you start thinking, "If you give me a cold, I will kill you. I will literally kill you." Depending on how annoying he was to begin with, you might say it out loud - especially if you're me. I hate colds. They're not epic enough to really give you an excuse for anything, but they screw up everything. It's significantly harder to intimidate everyone from the pizza guy to your writers with a cold, steely voice when you actually sound like you belong in a damn Theraflu commercial. And then, there's the judgment. Perhaps, you've noticed that I mentioned my grandmother several times, since she pervades my life. Well, she's about as supportive of illness as she is of dating. "You know, you're burning the candle at both ends. You were bound to get sick." No, I'm sick because everyone in my office was sick and like every other building in America, we think re-circulating air is a peachy keen idea. And you know that just like me, when you get sick, you have at least one friend or family member that will tell you how you got sick; because they are trained medical doctors and mind readers. Go to dinner with them and blow your nose repeatedly at the table. And talk about filthy things as loudly around small children as you can. I find this is a good way to take out my aggression on someone. Restaurant humiliation. So what should you do now that you have the cold?

Now in its eighth year, the SDAFF is showcasing 130 films ranging from full-length features to an assortment of short independent clips. The festival also includes workshops for young filmmakers. The spotlight film was "Dark Matter," which is a story based off true events of a physics student who kills six people at a university. Otherfilmsincluded were "Finishing the Game" (opening at the Landmark Ken Cinema in San Diego on Oct. 26), and "West 32nd," a crime drama set in New York's Korea-town. For many of the guests, the festival is an amazing platform to encourage and support the arts in the growing community. Special guests of the festival include celebrity faces from the Asian community such as Justin Lin, Roger Fan, Yul Kwon, MC Hammer and Leonardo Nam. Many of them spoke about upcoming projects, political and social awareness, and fair representation in the media. "I'm definitely thankful and I think the fans have been great and very generous," said James Kyson Lee, who stars on the THE PRIDE National Bird: Eagle, National Anthem: Star Spangled Banner; National book: I Am America (And So Can You!)

While some spoke about the good fortune they have had, others took the opportunity to speak about reality and progress toward future realizations. "If there is a barrier that will break Asian Americans into mainstream, it's when as a whole they start putting their dollars into something that is specifically Asian American," said Fan who starred in "Finishing the Game" and 2002's "Better Luck Tomorrow." Kwon, the winner of"Survivor: Cook Islands", was on hand to help register bone marrow donors and encouraged political awareness among Asian-Americans. On Saturday night, the festival honored longtime actor George Takei. Takei, famous for roles such as Kaito Nakamura from Heroes, and the beloved Lt. Sulu from Star Trek, received a lifetime achievement award for his work in Hollywood and contributions to society. When asked about Heroes, he responded, "Nothing is as it seems on the surface- Stay tuned."

El Mexicano Kirin Ichiban BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Having visited a local sushi bar this weekend and encountered a lovely Japanese waitress, the mind craved more elements from the land of the rising sun. A quick glance at the checkbook and the daily planner resulted in canceling reservations hastily made on a random travel website. A quick visit to Beverages and More for a Japanese beer would have to suffice for now. Kirin Brewery Company operates in multiple industries and markets. Asahi Brewery bought out the brewery in 2000. The brewery has a complex history because the ownership has changed hands and management styles throughout the years. Kirin not only brews beer but also produces hard liquor, wine, soft drinks, and food. A Kirin bréw master produced fhis| partilular Six-pack f or A nheuser-Busch in Los Angeles, California. { 1 The cardboard packaging holds six, 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. Black, tan, and gold hues comprise the visual aesthetics. A creative god-like horse styled animal dominates the center of the packaging. The bottle is adorned with the same image. The bottles are capped with a tan and gold bottle cap that seals off a beer with 4.95% alcohol-by-volume and 145 calories. A light version offers 50 less calories. The beer pours ultra-smooth and creates little to no head. The champagne colored beer glistens heavenly behind the frosty glass. The beer creates a low key aroma similar to that of the more famous Heineken. Wort, barley malt, and hops function in harmony to create a smooth tasting beer. The beer enters the mouth, jolts the taste buds, and quickly exits stage left. A subtle tingling sensation lingers for a brief moment as a result of the shock. Given its crisp taste, the beer can be paired with almost any food selection. | If a Vacation l o Japan ] seems out of reach, * simply grab a six pack of Kirin Ichiban. Do not forget the camera. BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Since its release last Tuesday, Stephen Colbert's first book, "I Am America (And So Can You!)," raises one simple question: Is it a great book, or the greatest book ever? In my honest opinion, I would have to say, "Yes." It has something for everyone: humor, justice, and the truth about America. It should not be long before this book replaces the Constitution. BY BRYANT TINTLE Pride Staff Writer I, like most college students, have succumbed to the horror that is the "midnight munchies." The fact that you are starving at 11:00 at night while trying to do a Political Science paper due tomorrow isn't the scary part. The horror is driving around trying to find a good place open that late. That is why there exists the haven for the hungry nocturnal being: El Mexicano. Located on Mission Rd. in Escondido, it is within reasonable driving distance from CSUSM. In fact, it stands to reason that you may have already driven past it and never noticed it. It is difficult to comprehend that a building shaped like a small barn is actually a Mexican restaurant. Not only do you get a close restaurant, you also get a good p rice| A biirritó, quesadilla, and drink together are less tlfaii 7 dollars. Now, when I say burrito, I'm not talking about one of those thin, wimpy E AXOF little things youfindat your average run-of-the-mill fast food Mexican joint. You get a grande-size burrito, the kind you can only get at a hole-in-the^wall restaurant like this, a burrito you might feel bad for eating afterwards, but you don't care because it was so delicious. Take a couple of your buddies to lunch when you have a break. Reminisce about the crazy antics that your group has gotten itself into yet again. This is the perfect place to define as your friends' new meeting spot. So whether you and your friends are looking for a new restaurant to eat at so you don't get sick of sandwiches and burgers, or just looking to calm that midnight hunger beast,£ don't hesitate to take a short driye out of your ' comfort zone into a little place called El Mexicano, or "the delicious^ Mexican restaurant that you will be telling your friends about forever" in English. Image courtesy of Grand Central Publishing Seriously, this is a great read, whether or not you are a fan of Colbert and his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert R eport" I waited for this book for a very long time and the very cover of the book had me giggling. This book is part of Colbert's continuing tongue-in-cheek attempt to bring America back to its glorious, conservative state. From thefirstpage to the last, he writes with his clever and witty style that had me laughing out loud. The book covers how to live like an American in areas such as family, religion, media, and education. Armed with his right-wing values, he breaks down issues, pointing what is 'wrong' with America, and how everyone would be more patriotic by following his family-loving, Godfearing, alpha-male lifestyle. While being a humorous look at America, it is also very poignant. True to his nature, Colbert wrote this book to be both Entertaining and educational. So pick up some Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream, curl up in an American flag on a couch next to your copy of The Declaration of Independence, and enjoy "I Am America." Be sure to get several copies as well; one each for your bedroom, bath room, and living room to get your full serving of truth. This book should do for America, what Harry Potter did for wizards. If everyone could just read this book, the world would be a better place. And that's the word. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer How would you feel if you received a score of 96% on a test? Most students would be proud of such a high score, but a fellow student informed me that after receiving a test score of 96%, she was given a B+ on the test! She said that a grading curve pulled her grade down. A professor on campus told me that professors are only allowed to give a certain number of A's, B's, C's, etc., to a class. Is this normal? I asked a professor of mine if this is true, and she directed me to Dr. Paul Jasien, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and former professor of Chemistry. When asked if a red flag would go up if a professor gave all A's in a class, Jaisen simply answered, " y e s " as one would go up if a professor gave all F's. He added that there is no process of checking the grades given by professors each semester. The only way in which this information could be obtained would be either through student evaluation forms where every student gives a professor a perfect evaluation, or if students go around talking about how they all received A's in a class. "The evaluation forms are reviewed by a committee," says Marilyn Ribble, a GEO professor. She went on to state that after review, a sampling of the evaluations goes into the professor's file and can be reviewed at a later date. Paul Jasien went on to state that if most or all of the evaluations are giving a professor a perfect score, that may mean the professor and/or the course should be reviewed because there should usually be a couple students that the professor was unable to connect with. "Evaluations can be difficult for professors to read by the end of the semester because they know that something just does hot click with every single student and they wish it did," Jasien said. » Article continues on pg. 2 11 i l l x I - j ,, A v - ^ -i v < Proposed site of the Clarke Field House/Student Union.

This griev- ance was filed in 1998 and was scheduled for arbitration on October 10, 2000. The faculty grievance was over an increase from 18 to 19 units per year in instructional workload for College of Education faculty. It also grieved reduction from 1/2 to 1/3 in WTUs (Weighted Teaching Units) for supervision of student teachers. James Semelroth, CFA Central Office's arbitration specialist, added emphatically, however, that "withdrawal of the arbi- To the Editor Page 4^5 F*geW tration demand in no way should be construed by the CSU to mean that CFA is conceding that the workload adjustments in 1998 are not violations of the agreement and past practices of the campus, they clearly are." >Cont on Pg 2 Academic Bulletin Calendar �Grading Student » Continued from pg. 1 Possibility of all A's? The possibility of every student in a class receiving all A's does exist; yet the probability is very low that it will happen. "If every Student in a class received an A, one of two things could be happening. Either every student was phenomenal and did A work and deserved an A, or the professor is nof distributing assignments that would distinguish A's from B's and so on," explained Jasien. When asked if professors can create their own grading scale, Dean Jasien responded, "Absolutely, usually professors are able to figure out, over the course of a few semesters, how students are learning and can adjust their grading scales accord* ingly. It is a. matter of knowing their clientele [students], the percentage of work they are able to do, and the information they are able to learn," said Jasien. Do grading curves exist? Again, yes. Professors are allowed to use grading curves in their classes versus a straightpoint system. Straight-point systems are simple and put the choice of earning the grade into the students' hands. If students do the work and earn A's, then they will receive A's. This may be an incentive to students helping each other. But if a professor is using a curve to grade students, there may be less incentive for other students to help each other. A curve normally pulls the low grades up, where as higher grades can be pulled down. So if students are helping each other and everyone is doing well on tests, the curve goes up (thus pulling some higher grades down, which allows for a 96% B+). "If students know that a curve can harm them, the incentive to helping other students diminishes," explained Jasien. According to the Dean, there is no policy about grading except to grade fairly according to a students' effort in a class. How to dispute a grade If a student is unhappy with a grade, he or she is allowed to dispute it. The first thing students should do if they have a grade dispute is to go to the professor. If the problem is not resolved, the student can go to the chair of the department, then to the Dean, and so on. At the top of the ladder is a formal student grievance committee for resolution of grade disputes. "Students do have the right to dispute grades if they feel they have not received the grade they earned," states Jasien. Grade disputing should be taken very seriously and only students who feel they received an undeserved grade should dispute it.

CSUSM Faculty Drop Grievance »Continued from Pg 1 Because arbitration is expensive, the CFA must weigh the financial costs against the probability of winning. CFA felt it would be difficult to prove that the small increase in workload of the first grievance was "excessive" or "unreasonable" as stated in the contract. Rather than spend the time and energy on this arbitration, CFA decided to withdraw its grievance. CFA's concern that withdrawal from arbitration would be misconstrued as conceding defeat arose after CSUSM President Alex Gonzalez issued a memo to the faculty, which Semelroth described as "very misleading". Gonzalez' memo informed faculty that CFA had withdrawn "the San Marcos workload grievance", when only one of three grievances were withdrawn. Semelroth further contested Gonzalez' assurance that "resolution of the grievance is clear" saying that, "Nothing could be further from the truth. The resolution of the grievance is not clear.. .the issue persists and [administrators] have won no victory." In response to questions asked about the dropping of the one grievance, President Gonzalez responded saying, "I can impose on [the faculty] what they're going to do as long as it's not arbitrary and capricious. I haven't done it, that's why this whole thing is a big red herring. It's going to be resolved, if they don't like the resolution they can grieve it, and it can go to arbitration." Gonzalez added, "They pulled out of [this arbitration] with the rational that it's only one Unit. What's the difference between one unit and three units? It's still more than nifie isn't it?" But concerns persist among faculty that an imposition of a 12 direct teaching unit workload will decrease the quality of education at CSUSM. Some faculty are especially concerned by the workload in the College^ of Education because only four instructors have been hired to accommodate a 200 student increase in that college in the last three years, causing a steep increase in the student to faculty ratio from 14.7:1 t o 18.0:1. "An increase of those 200 students brought about $1.3 million to CSUSM. The addition of four faculty members in College of Education cost about $250,000. We need to ask where the money went," said George Diehr, President of the San Marcos CFA Chapter and Professor of Management Science. Many believe the money should have been used to hire more faculty for the College of Education. The other two workload grievances remain active and are pending arbitration should CFA choose to do so. The most recent grievance involves a substantial increase in workloadfrom nine to twelve units in one semester. Faculty have always accounted for teaching 12 units, as both President Gonzalez and faculty agree, by utilizing a three unit flexibility which allows them to do research, develop the curriculum, pr work on special projects. This flexibility, which some consider crucial for continuing the current standard of quality education offered at the college, appears in danger of being removed by the administration who could require them to direct teach all 12 units. "The faculty have proven by experience that CSUSM can be a model campus with a reasonable workload while delivering quality instruction to its students," said Semelroth, "One should be proud of being on the cutting edge rather than regressing to the norm of punishing workloads of other campuses." President Gonzalez told Pride reporters in an interview Friday that, "I think there is going to be a resolution, and it's going to happen this year. 12 units, it's a heavy teaching load. I have pledged to work at the system level to reduce that workload, but until we do, we have to conform to the requirements of the whole system." President Gonzalez added that "there has to be a resolution, and it won't be tomorrow by the way, but over the next few years, it will get in there." Any forced change in workload on the campus is subject to new grievances by CFA, which could also end in arbitration. �O) What do e ach of t hese books h ave i n c ommon? • Always Running-La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A. by Luis Rodriquez • Animal Farm by George Orwell • Brave New World by Aldous Huxley • Capital: A Critique of Political Economy by Karl Marx • Cognitive Therapy of Depression by Aaron Beck • Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury • Ideology and Curriculum b y Michael Apple • One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Mirquez • Labor's Untold Story b y Richard Boyer and Herbert Morais •The Labyrinth of Solitude by Octavio Paz • Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paolo Friere • The Prosperous Few and the Restless Many by Noam Chomsky • 2001: Space Odyssey by Arthur Clarke • Yno se lo trago la tierra (And the Earth did not Devour Him) by Tom&s Rivera What's Behind the Books in the Library?

Although any light is better than no light, the CSUSM campus lights are dim, kind of yellowish, and not exactly the type of lighting one would expect on a college campus. The dim appearance is due to the low-pressure sodium lights that the campus has installed to help prevent light pollution. Many people may agree that in this day and age, pollution is rampant. We have to worry about air pollution from automobiles and factories, water pollution from trash and chemicals being thrown into the ocean, and noise pollution from our neighbor's son's car stereo. But who'd ever thought we'd have to be concerned about light pollution? Surprisingly, light pollution has been a problem for quite sometime. Light pollution occurs in populated areas where an abundance of lighting fixtures leads to light misusage. Light misusage begins when a light fixture is misdirected (such as straight into the sky), shielded improperly or just too bright. This misuse of light is known as "wasted" because it is not effective, and can even be harmful (such as a bright light that produces dark shadows conducive to "stranger danger"). Light pollution also wastes energy, which, like in Europe, has led to a serious economic crisis. Europe's energy costs had become so high that something By: Jafo_Wac Contributing Writer had to be done about it, so there was a switch to low- pressure sodium lights. Although lowpressure sodium lights give off a yellow cast, if used properly, they can provide plenty of sufficient lighting. Out of all choices of lighting, low-pressure sodium lights are the most cost efficient; the use of low-pressure sodium lighting in Europe saved energy and reduced light pollution. Low-pressure sodium lights are also important when it comes to star observation. It is easier for telescopes to filter low-pressure sodium lights than any other CSUSM Lightpost Photo byMelanie Addington type of lighting. The west coast, (specifically Southern California because of the clear air and good weather conditions), is one of the best places in the world for scientists to observe stars. However, Southern California is getting more populated by the minute, and more people means more lighting fixtures. More lighting, like misdirected light fixtures, may send light into the night sky, making telescopic observations difficult (particularly objects coming towards Earth like Armageddon asteroids). In the United States, only three cities use low-pressure sodium lights: Tucson, San Jose, and San Diego. But will it take a crisis like Europe's in order for the rest of the U.S. to change? According to Paul Etzel, Chairman of the Astronomy Department and Director of the Observatory at San Diego State University, "Economics will force people to realize that good lighting is not only good for astronomers, pedestrians, and motorists, but it is better for saving energy." CSUSM is considered a commuter school, which means all of us require gasoline to get to school every day. College students, as a whole, are notorious for their shortage of cash and unfortunately for us, gas prices have been high lately. However, with a couple clicks on http:// www.fueltracker.com/. you can find the cheapest gas in your area and save money. http://www.fueltracker.com/ is a web site published by the Utility Consumers' Action Network (UCAN) that tracks gas prices around San Diego County. The site updates gas prices on a weekly basis and on Tuesdays prices are grouped according to county regions. Unfortunately for those people who have vehicles that require premium gasoline, only the price for regular gasoline is tracked. Simply select your part of the county on the map on http:// www.fiieltracker.com/ and then choose from the list of gas prices in the area sorted by city.

Gonzalez Puts Books on Display » Continued from Pg 3 Dr. Gonzalez, one of nine children, was raised in the San Joaquin Valley in Central California. He credits much of his success to his parents and their philosophy of wanting a better life for their children. Dr. Gonzalez' parents were farm workers who had limited opportunities themselves, but they believed in the importance of education for their children. All nine of the Gonzalez children graduated from high school and attended college. Dr. Gonzalez is proud of his cultural upbringing despite the socioeconomic hardships that he has faced. According to Gonzalez, "Literature, such as And the Earth Did Not Devour Him, put into perspective much of what I experienced as a MexicanAmerican adolescent having to come to terms with the biases imposed on me." Dr. Gonzalez recognizes this book for not only teaching him how to cope with, but how to overcome some of the hardships that he experienced. La Vida Loca is a book that described to Dr. Gonzalez what he saw happening around him during his formative teenage years. Dr. Gonzalez said that he saw many of his friends, "people that were just as academically capable as I was," turn to gang life for various reasons. "Strong family support and the ability to make my own decisions kept me from making the same mistake," stated Gonzalez. Animal Farm helped Dr. Gonzalez to see society differently. Gonzalez describes himself as an idealist who believes that by being active in his community, he can make a difference. While attending Fresno State, he was active in A.S.I, organizations and committees, as well as Chair of the campus' M.e.Ch.a. organization. Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, and 2001: Space Odyssey relate to themes of science and technology. Even though Dr. Gonzalez is a clinical psychologist, he feels that he is "a scientist at heart." Other books have aided his professional development. Ideology and Curriculum taught him how to be "democratic in the classroom." Mostly, Dr. Gonzalez believes that literature has helped him to be proud of who he is. He feels that the literature that he has been most influenced by reflects and reinforces our capabilities as human beings instead of our limitations.

By: Jennifer Miller Pride Staff Writer Glass is over and you are waiting for your friends in the Dome when suddenly you get an itch: you must call someone! Anyone! You frantically search your backpack or pocket to find that cell phone. You quickly dial up your friend, mom, job, or significant other, and send that call across the airwaves with nothing to say except, "I'm out of class! Wahoo!" Even though cellular phones are quickly becoming the most convenient device since computers, are there disadvantages to owning a cell phone? Thousands of students and faculty are frequently using cellular phones everywhere on campus: classes, hallways, computer labs, and cars. We all have our own opinions on cellular users and driving, but road rage aside, are cellular and mobile phones dangerous to our health? ? According to Katherine Hunt of tlfe Medill News Service, more than 90 million Americans use mobile phones. "This number CSUSM student Nam Ngo makes a phone call in The Dome. Photo by David Ruiz. is growing exponentially as prices drop and wireless products become more widely available," states Hunt, "but little is known about the health effects of radio frequency (RF) emissions on cell phone users." What many of these cellular users don't know is that each phone sends electromagnetic waves into the user's head. Every phone sold in the United States has a documented measurement of how much microwave energy penetrates the brain. An October 1999 FDA consumer update on mobile phones states that high levels of radio frequency can produce damage through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food). However, the report also states that it is unknown whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse health effects. Ever since the public outcry following a 1993 Larry King Live episode in which a widower claimed that a cell phone gave his wife terminal brain cancer, funding for research on the health effects of cell phones has increased; but the results have been inconclusive. George Carlo, former head of the industry-funded Wireless Technology Research Program (set up in 1993 to study cell-phone safety), surveyed more than 50 studies, many of them still unpublished. In a Newsweek article, Carlo states, "We've moved into an area where we now have some direct evidence of possible harm from cellular phones."

Many products, however, have been found very useful and effective. Some devices, like a mounted exterior antenna and headset or earpiece product, can really decrease RF's, as well as decrease the risks for car accidents when using the phone while driving. CSUSM student Josh Zamora stated, "Driving with cell phones is very dangerous, and I think extremely large amounts of anything can be harmful, including cell phones." Students may find taking precautions and protecting themselves while using cellular and mobile phones, useful.

Facilitates Discussion on Revolutionary Film By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer On Wednesday, October 11, M.E.ChA. (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) led a discussion following its showing of Cuban director Teresita Gomez* documentary film, Che Guevara: Love, Politics, and Rebelliousness. The presentation occurred on the Cuban holiday, El Dia del guerra historico, 33 years after Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Latin America's most active international revolutionary since Simon Bolivar, was murdered while attempting to incite revolution in the jungles of Bolivia. M.E.ChA. member, Ricardo Favela, spoke to the culturally diverse group of CSUSM students that filled Commons 206 before the film. Ricardo took issue with the controversy surrounding Che's ideas and actions. "I don't think he should be treated as controversial because he represents everything the United States claims to stand for, true equality and justice for people," said Favela. Favela also commented on the recent difficulties surrounding the posting of their Che banner, which had been vandalized the previous year. This year, A.S.I. approached M.E.Ch A. with a "new policy" that disallowed posting of the banner in front of the science building, causing the club to move it to the top of the facing stairway. Although M.E.Ch.A. is the first to be confronted with the new policy, it is Last week, M.E.Ch.A moved the Che Guevera bannerfrom Science Hall after A.S.I, implemented a "new policy:" The banner was vandalized last year, but the perpetrators were never caught. Photo by Melanie Addington expected to extend to all clubs equally. "A lot of people complained about the banner saying that it offended them " Favela said, "but those who should be offended are la raza Latino." Favela explained that many Latinos took offense to the school's bust of William Craven, senator and founding figure of the university who made some questionably racist comments against Latino immi- grants. The film, Che Guevara: Love, Politics, and Rebelliousness, chronicles the revolutionary's life with a rich combination of live footage and personal accounts from Fidel Castro, Che's family, and veterans of the revolution. As a soldier, laborer, and government official Che held countless positions in Cuba including economic advisor, head of the national bank, and international diplomat. It was in this last position that Che gained valuable political, social and economic knowledge from nations in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. The film concerned itself minimally with the United States, and seemed disinterested with the U.S. attitude towards the revolution and new government except when the Americans made physical attacks on the island, such as during the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1962. During his lifetime, Che Guevara became a familiar figure to the entire world as an idealist and humanitarian. He was also the author of theoretical works on economics, society and guerrilla warfare. An important aspect of Guevara's ideology, however, was that he practiced it. "He had ideas, but Che's extensive knowledge was based in practice and action," explained Favela. He fought actively against imperialism, colonialism and n eocolonialism, giving assistance to revolutionary struggles around the world, such as his participation in the liberation movement in Zaire. Although Guevara never wished to be a revolutionary martyr, the respect and admiration he drew from his relentless idealistic practices made this inevitable. Many who attended the presentation were surprised to learn that Che Guevara is from Argentina, and that he completed a degree there as a medical doctor, later becoming the only nonCuban to be granted the status of "Cuban citizen by birth." Though Che recognized Cuba as his "cultural substrate," he asserted that he felt "as Cuban as any other Cuban," emphasizing his ability to "feel the suffering of any other person in any other nation." After the film, a lively discussion probed further into the life of Ernesto "Che" Guevara and his influence on the world. Those present exhibited varying degrees of knowledge concerning Guevara and Cuba, U.S. relations with Latin America and revolutionary politics. Except for the one Cuban individual's sobering personal experiences during and after the revolution, the discussion was dominated by rhetoric that mostly romanticized the struggle and criticized the United States' political and economic involvement. Many students were drawn to the event to learn more about a figure they knew little of, as others were attracted by the prospect of discussing what they already knew with an interested group. Such educational events are important because individuals such as Guevara are not given much coverage in American history books. Favela explained that, "Che's image has also been commercialized to the point that either much of his ideology has been lost, or people don't understand what he stood for." M.E.Ch.A. plans to host a similar film and discussion forum concerning the Zapatista uprising in southern Mexico later in the semester. How to Become A Chicana Role Model Michele Serros Holds Book Signing and Lecture Outside Library By: Victoria B. Segall Pride Editor "Some people write from the heart and soul, I write from the stomachache," said Michele Serros. On Thursday, October 12, a small intimate crowd gathered to hear Serros lecture in the Library Courtyard. Serros began her lecture by reading her poetry and excerpts from her novels; her most recent novel is How to Become a Chicana Rote Model. Writer and poet Serros says that as a child, she found it very difficult to express her feelings or share problems that were troubling her, and this was painful for her.

The Client 's star Ben Renfro will play the lead character Triple E. Lukas Hass Photo Courtesy ofIMDB.com Independent Film Producer Speaks with CSUSM Students By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor CSUSM Professor's Too Cool Book to be Made into Film By: Christopher Orman Pride Staff Writer _ In the next few years, CSUSM professor Duff Brenna's novel Too Cool will move beyond the literary field to land on the screens of movie theaters across the nation. However, individuals familiar with Brenna's novel may be startled at the changes being made for the public's consumption. The novel exposes the hardedged life of Triple E, a sixteenyear-old car thief, who is continually expected to conform to the norms of society. Triple E, his cousin Ava, his friend Tom Patch, and his girlfriend Jeanne, leave Colorado after Triple E's escape from Good Pasture, a correctional facility for juvenile delinquents. As Triple E searches for a way to avoid an upcoming roadblock, the car ends up stuck in a snow-filled ravine. Upon being stopped in the snow, Triple E begins reflecting on his life and considers the mistakes he has made. Eventually, the flashbacks of past events become a reoccurring second story line throughout the book, with certain physical entities spawning specific memories for Triple E. Instead of flashbacks, there are two parallel stories crisscrossing at different scenes in'the film. The only flashback is when Triple E, played by Brad Renfro, remembers back to his early childhood. One major change with" the film version concerns the deletion of the Mrs. Bridgewater character, a psychologist at Good Pasture Correctional Facility. In the novel, she becomes a common thread through most of Triple E's snow based tribulations, as he remembers back to the moments leading up to when he raped her. "We really did not feel a rape needed to be added, given thev large amount of sexual content throughout the film," said Denise Shaw She felt it might be too confusing for the audience when trying to relate to Triple E; she believed the rape would overshadow Triple E's heroic acts in the story. Shaw added, "Little Ray will be the educator of Triple E and give him Kafka [books] instead of Bridgewater; we are concerned with the likeability of Independent filmmaker Denise Shaw spoke at CSUSM on Monday, October 9. CSUSM's Professor Duff Brenna hosted a showing of Shaw's first film, Bodies* Rest and Motion (starring Eric Stoltz and Tim Roth). Shaw is currently working on an adaptation of Professor Brenna's book Too Cool. Shaw's credits also include the 1993 hit Bed of Roses (starring Christian Slater and Mary Stuart Masterson), Julian Po (also with Christian Slater), Pie In the Sky and the upcoming Ben Stiller film, Maclintock's Peach. Denise Shaw got her start in the film industry like many others: with the family video camera. Shaw began her film career by making films with her brother before going to UCLA film school with the hopes of becoming a director. After her first film project, she realized that she was terrible at directing, yet Shaw loved overseeing the making of the film and soon realized she wanted to produce. After graduation, Shaw went to work at New World Productions. According to Shaw, this was every young filmrtiaker's dream because of the chance to work with producer Roger Corman. Corman had given directors like Martin Scorcese and James Cameron their breakthrough opportunity to work in the film industry. Although Corman is now considered the maker of "B" films, he has 286 producing credits to his name; plus he has worked as a director, writer and actor. When Shaw discovered that it would take years for her to get Triple E." Being the creator of the text, Brenna seemed somewhat concerned about the loss of Mrs. Bridgewater but felt confident that the screenwriter, Michael Steinberg would keep the spirit of the book. Despite the changes, which may increase as production begins, Shaw is quite hopeful about the movie, "The script is very unconventional, poetic and artistic, but I think people are really going to love this film." On the artistic prowess of the film, Shaw noted, "We are shooting each story in two film stocks. The snow scenes will be shot in reversal stock, giving a grainy muted style, while the flashbacks will be shot in normal stock yielding tons of color. As the two stories meet, so do the stocks." Such careful attention to film stocks and music, regardless of changes made to the story line, will make Too Cool into, as Denise Shaw stated, "a hip-hop Romeo and Juliet." Although, the movie will have enough artistic elements to keep the litferary types amused, the movie will almost certainly garner attention all over the country. the chance to even get close to producing, she quit the production company and became an agent. Shaw has represented directors, writers and actors, including Michael Steinburg, the director of her first film, Bodies, Rest and Motion. Upon seeing the script for Bodies, Rest and Motion, Shaw immediately knew it was the "perfect film to become a producer." The film looks at human relationships and the Newtonian Law of Physics (bodies at rest tend to remain at rest; bodies in motion tend to remain in motion). The film stats Phoebe Cates (Gremlins), Bridget Fonda (Jackie Brown), Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs) and Eric Stoltz (Pulp Fiction). Photo Courtesy of imdb.com Shaw's second film, Bed of Roses, was coined a success, but Shaw feels embarrassed at the outcome of the film.

She originally wanted Johnny Depp and Jennifer Jason Leigh in the lead roles, but due to conflicts with the distributors, she cast Slater and Masterson. Shaw says she made two major errors with Bed Of Roses. The first is that she cast two romantic leads without them being in the same room together. She feels this led to a lack of chemistry on screen. Secondly, she hired a director that, at age twenty-four, had never been in love and had no idea how to envision a romantic film. "People just don't talk like that," comments Shaw in regards to the film's use of sappy romantic lines. In discussing the future of independent film, Shaw points out that, "the distribution outlet [for independent filmmakers] is disappearing. The formula for making small movies is gone." She believes that the future of independent film will be in digital cameras rather than the traditional 35 mm. The Blair Witch Project is a prime example. Although Shaw feels it was a shoddily made film, "it is the number one selling film of all time, nothing can touch it dollar for dollar." Shaw's recent finished project is an independent comedy titled Maclintock's Peach. The story involves two blue-collar workers who decide to rob a grocery store for fun. The film stars Ben Stiller (star of Something About Mary), Kristen Johnson (star of television show Third Rock from the Sun), and Mike Myers {Austin Powers). Maclintock's Peach is set for release this year. �Setting the Record Straight Letter to the Editor Regarding your article September 19th in The Pride, "Politics in San Marcos " it's apparent someone hasn't done * his homework. It's time to set the record straight for San Marcos voters. Proposition "S" is a San Marcos charter amendment that would require the city to follow state law as it pertains to general law (non-chartered) cities in the matters of land use, planning and development, including the requirement that zoning be consistent with the city's general plan. It bears no resemblance to Escondido's initiative of a couple By: Ryan Bernal Contributing Writer Students who eat on campus in the infamous Dome know the selection they have to choose from: Mexican food, pizza and subs, Chinese or, new for this semester, a week old salad bar. Most likely students also know that the cheapest item on the menu is steamed rice for $0.99. And because there is no sales tax on food purchased in the Dome, it works out to an exact $0.99. This means that students can eat a fair sized bowl of rice with sauce (teriyaki, sweet and sour, or spicy) and crunchies for under a dollar. But is the steamed rice with sauce and crunchies really worth $0.99? You've got your dollar, and you've got your bowl of steamed rice. It will only be a few minutes until you get to sit down with your friends and enjoy your meal. You sit down, fork in hand, and the first bite starts out great. Nothing this bland has ever tasted so good. Until that so-called delicious bite ends up being a clump of hard rice grains that have not been fully cooked. You then realize that plain bread would have been a better investment. You try to ignore that first bite and risk another one, only to find that your steamed rice is really a bowl of soggy carbohydrates with hard grains mixed in for volume (similar to what they serve in prison where this meal would be free and most likely better prepared). Disappointed and deceived by looks, that bowl of rice goes into the trash. years ago. It is not a no-growth or pro-growth initiative. It does not require a special election to rezone properties or pass a general plan amendment. It does not take away anyone's property rights; it strengthens them. Proposition "S" merely places into the charter language that should have been included from the onset. As a charter city, San Marcos is exempted from state planning and land-use consistency requirements unless the city adopts these laws through its charter, or by ordinance. San Marcos does currently have an Later that day your friend, who drove 1.3 miles roundtrip to the Jack in the Box off of San Marcos Blvd., informs you of the rice he ate for $0.81 (tax included): freshly prepared steamed rice with teriyaki sauce that actually tastes as good as it looks. Your mouth waters at the thought of good rice. So what's the problem with the steamed rice at the Dome? Second year student Jim Balderson comments, "The people in the Dome shouldn't re-use rice for more than one day." He believes that in an effort to save money, they recycle the left over rice from the previous day. Jim also notices that fellow classmates are ashamed to eat the $0.99 Dome steamed rice in front of others. First year transfer student Jason Sherman regards the Dome steamed rice as "a joke!" He would rather spend his dollar buying ten $0.10 candies in the Dome store. Other CSUSM students also look down on the quality of the Dome's steamed rice agreeing that the quality and price need to be changed. Why is it that the friendly people in the Dome can't make steamed rice? The process of making it seems easy enough and the workers in the Dome are all university students. Maybe our school is buying cheap rice. Or perhaps they don't add enough water to the rice cooker. Maybe their rice cooker needs to be cleaned. Whatever the problem, it should be fixed. When you do the math, including gas and sales tax, Jack ordinance. However, ordinances can be amended or repealed by the city council or, as I recently found out, "forgotten." Changes t o the charter, on the other hand, can only be made by a majority vote of the people. Why is Proposition "S" so important to San Marcos residents, property owners, and taxpayers? Just as a successful corporation maintains and follows a business plan that defines its goals and objectives, so too the city has a "general plan." It defines zoning, densities, intensities and even overall population at build-out, the city's goals in the Box steamed rice works out to be $0.05 cheaper than the Dome's steamed rice (assuming that gas is $2.00 per gallon and the vehicle gets 20 miles to the gallon.). And for someone interested in lunch, this means of | obtaining steamed rice includes a lovely hike up at least three flights of stairs (what better way to use those calories?) Why is Jack in the Box selling steamed rice to the public for less money than CSUSM sells it to the students? If Jack in the Box can sell their quality rice for $0.75, why then can't CSUSM sell their under cooked rice for that same price? Or better yet, sell good rice for that same price. So is that bowl of Dome steamed rice with sauce and crunchies really worth $0.99? To a starving student who woke up late, missed breakfast, has only one dollar in pocket change and has approximately 10 minutes before their next mid-term, maybe. For them, the rice serves as a quick answer during desperate times. And for the cheapskate who is too lazy to drive the 1.3 miles, steamed rice is the best deal on campus. But to the student who is looking for a genuinely good bowl of steamed rice, the $0.99 is hardly worth it. The outcome: CSUSM should lower their price of steamed rice. Even though students can go to Jack in the Box for rice, they shouldn't have to. The steamed rice on campus should be improved in quality and decreased in price. and objectives. We've all heard the old adage, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." It would be irresponsible for San Marcos to not follow its own general plan and ignore the overall benefits of integrated planning. Yet that's exactly what charter cities are allowed to do, to the detriment of residents and all property owners who rely on the general plan. Zoning could be changed at "political will," without, regard to property values or property rights. Even the California Court of Appeals has questioned the wisdom of permitting charter cities "to ignore such a fundamental principle of sound land-use planning as consistency between a city's zoning enactments and that city's general plan for land-use and development." Proposition "S" makes good business sense and is crucial to the future development of San Marcos. I encourage everyone to vote yes for this charter amendment.

Two weeks ago a student fell after tripping over a box that was propping open a door. The door was open at such an angle that it was impossible for the student to see the obstacle lurking around the corner. Unfortunately, the student fell onto the hard concrete surface and was injured badly. The student blacked out for a moment and, after regaining consciousness, realized that she in quite a bit of pain. Fortunately, there were a few kind individuals who helped her to her feet and offered to take her down to the health center. Upon her arrival, the doctor reportedly told her that they could not treat her because she suffered head trauma. It appears that this sort of injury is much too serious for our health services here on campus. Within a couple of hours the student's arm and hand swelled seriously, she had a bump the size of a golf ball above her eye, two black eyes and lots of bruises. The next morning she went to the hospital and found out that she had a sprained elbow and wrist. What bothers me the most is not just the fact that our school cannot afford a two dollar door stop, but the fact that the health center turned their cheek to an injured lady. I know that this was just an unfortunate accident, but the truth of the matter is it can happen again if nothing is done to insure our safety in every way possible. Who would have thought that something as minor as using , a box to prop open a door could cause someone serious injury? I was so angered after hearing about this that I called and spoke with Steve Orsak, inquiring if there are any safety codes on campus that deal with such an issue. To my surprise, his response was that the doors are not meant to stay open and should, in fact, be closed at all times. I also asked if there was anything that the school could do to insure that this was a one-time accident, and he responded, "We just have to better educate people that "the doors are to remain closed, that's all.'' That's all. It's little accidents like this that could have caused even more injury to the student, like broken bones. The most infuriating part to this unfortunate story is the fact that health services did nothing to help this student in any way. The doctor did not even check her vital signs, nothing. Don't we pay these people every semester for medical service? I guess the purpose of this article was to inform students not to turn a corner without looking first, and not to be somewhat seriously injured and expect health service to come to the rescue. That may sound rude and the accident may have been minor, but no one should ever be denied, help. This is a lesson to be learned by all. Hopefully people will think twice about everyone's safety, no matter what the case may be. The Wedding Trilogy By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor Monday evening I sat alone listening to the beautiful sounds of Nat King Cole. I had been feeling discontented but couldn't quite place the source of the pain deep inside of my soul. Something in Cole's bittersweet song, Looking Back, had dredged up a sorrow within me. As I listened, I found myself literally looking back to old photographs, which helped aid my memory in defining the pain f rom my recent past. As I opened the photo album, a picture of my cousin Jenny caught my eye. I thought back to the moment when her fiance was killed in a fatal car accident, and the pain she endured at such a young age, the age I am now. Jenny got married three weeks ago to Dustin, the best friend of thefianceshe lost. She and Dustin supported each other through their mutual ordeal and years later discovered love. At their sunset, lakeside wedding in Big Bear, their faces reflected the shared, passionate love between them and a glow surrounded them as they stood in the entrance of the garden gazebo. My heart cried out to understand that deep of a bond between two people. I glanced across the album's page from my cousin's picture into the fac e of my smiling, happy son. My heart filled with the joy of knowing that I had the luck of bringing such a light into my life. My son's father got married last weekend. I didn't attend the wedding. Part of me feels quite sad, as if a chapter of the book of my life has finally ended. Part of me rejoices that he finally has the happiness he searched so long to find. However, the bitter, angry female within me choked up and I sobbed, letting loose the pain I held on to for far too long. As I dried my -eyes, I turned the page to photos of my early days. Childhood friends and a younger brother, long since grown up, stared back with hope shining on their youthful and innocent faces. I smiled fondly in remembrance. As if the two previous weekends had not tormented me enough, this weekend I attended the wedding of a childhood friend. I would like to say the same hopeful things about their union as I did about Dustin and Jenny's, but I cannot. Their vows felt forced and they both looked isolated within their own private worlds. After the wedding, the best man gave his toast. The groom then took the mic from him and, like an ape, yelled out a cheer that suited a football game better than one of the "best" moments of his life. The drunken wedding party then proceeded to try to dance as they clung to their beers, fresh from the keg. I sighed at the spectacle and went home early. After surviving these past three weekends, I tried to imagine being married at this stage of my life. I wondered how my friend could possibly be walking down the aisle already. At twenty-two, I've watched several of my friends pair off, yet she was the first to take the plunge into an eternal union. I, on the other hand, am barely treading water in keeping my life serene as I handle the craziness of raising my son, being a student, and working full time. Just the thought of trying to blend my life into someone else's makes me shudder. Still, in moments like these, I know that deep within my heart I ache to have that perfect glowing moment. Let's just hope the groom doesn't like football. the Game By: Jared E. Young Pride Staff Writer Why do people fall so in love with sports that their every emotion hangs on the win or loss pf their favorite team? I must admit, I'm just as guilty—if not more so—than the next guy. I used to get kicked out of the house if the San Francisco 49ers lost. My parents would force me to watch the game in my room because I would get so upset over a blown play or a missed call that they feared for their lives. Currently, it's the San Francisco Giants (and the Niners, and the Warriors, and the Sharks-I'm from the Bay Area, in case you couldn't tell). When the team (the Giants) lost its second playoff game I almost left work early because I was too depressed to help customers. Then they were eliminated and I found out during dinner—I was hard-pressed to keep my dinner in my stomach. Yeah, I'm addicted to sports. I've played soccer for 13 years; I played baseball for 6, football for a couple, and basketball offand-on my entire life. Also, I've been a sports journalist for seven years. I feel this justifies my passion for teams that I have never played for. Now, what about people who have never played sports? It seems as though the biggest sports nuts are always the guys that haven't seen their feet for years and never get off the couch unless they need another beer or a bathroom break (where they usually have another TV hooked up!). Are these people just living vicariously through "their" teams? Or are their lives so pathetic that the only joy they can derive is that of watching their favorite player drain the game winning three at the buzzer? I'm guessing its a little of both. My next question is : if these people could harness some of the passion they have for sports and apply it to something useful, wouldn't they be pretty productive citizens? Take, for example, myself. I can sit down and watch the 49ers suffer through one poor play after another for three hours-three boring hours, no less— without ever leaving my couch, without ever blinking. Put me in a classroom for f ifty minutes, I'm out like a light in less than ten. Now, if I could take the excitement I feel when Barry Bonds drives one deep into the bay behind right field and put that into a paper for my Literary Criticism class, I would be on the Dean's list every semester! This is what Cal State San Marcos needs. They need to find a way to harness the energy that sports create and transfer it into the classroom. Can you imagine the outcome? San Marcos would be cranking out Nobel Prize winners every year. Field's Medal? San Marcos would have a monopoly. CEOs in the tech industry? Can you spell "graduated from California State University San Marcos in . . . ? " It is purely amazing how much time, passion, and energy people can devote to watching sports, and then how much they can slack off in ACD 213 (or any other room, for that matter). It is one thing to enjoy watching sports, but if watching is all you're doing, then it isn't "your" team. Why people feel the need to say "we won today" or "we were down by three before we came up big in the ninth," I don't know. Did you ever play for the Braves, Bulls, Penguins, or Jaguars? Not frickin' likely. Therefore, it is not your team. However, it is your life. If you take the emotion and passion we put into sports and put it into the classroom, then using the personal "we" is perfectly acceptable. We didn't win the game, but we did get an 'A' on our paper. See how it works? It's almost as if the passion we have for sports is meant to be put toward schoolwork. But, at some point in time, someone messed up and started living his or her life through a team. Shouldn't your life be lived through your life? I don't know, maybe it's a crazy idea, but it is an idea. Like I said before, I'm just as guilty as the next guy when it comes to living and dying with some team that I've never stepped onto the field with. That is why I, for one, have decided to make a difference: I will be the first to apply my passion for sports to the work that Cal State San Marcos so lovingly assigns to m e... right after the game, that is. �Academic Bowl November 4th ACD 102 9:00 am to 3:00 pm Sign-up Deadline is October 27th Forms Available in ASI Office, Commons 203 Sign Up Now to Play College Bowl!

Each session promises women easy to learn self-defense tactics as a method of rape prevention. According to CSUSM student Lisa Lim, the RAD class has proven to reach beyond that goal. Last year Lim participated in the RAD program. She was worried that she wasn't physically equipped and before the class began she asked herself, "Will I be strong enough?" The relevance of body size and physical strength, however, are trumped by the reality based effectiveness of the techniques that women learn during class sessions. By the end of the course Lim fought off people dressed in aggressor suits, with her eyes closed. Lim says, "The i nductor is so positive and encouraging thlS it's easier to feel empowered and it's a lot easier to go through."

This question was one of many asked by €SUSM students last Monday, October 9, at an event made possible by the Women's Center. Linda Savage, a certified sex educator, sex therapist and author joked, "One." The crowd of fifty broke out in laughter; Savage laughed then said, "If you honor and respect yourself, there is no such thing as too many." Before Savage collected anonymous questions on index cards from students, she set out to empower men and women to enjoy pleasure as a God-given right that should not be dictated by anyone else. "Our sexuality is energy," Savage said, stressing what she called a readiness factor that includes the mental, physical, and emotional aspects that factor into having sex. As Savage said, "We are sold an image which isn't true and it is an image how to have 'hot sex.' It's the culture we live in; it's what we are socialized to [believe]." It's an idea Savage disagrees with, the idea that sex is all about having an orgasm. "There's so much more to be experienced than just, quick, let's get off." Savage went on to explain her performance and pleasure model. She asked the crowd about the movies and television they've seen with all the 'hot sex.' Then she said that the majority of sex seen in the movies is based on the performance model and people can reflect what they've seen and worry too much about just having an orgasm instead of having sex for pleasure. "In their heads, they are too worried about the experience and making their partner happy and focusing too much on genitals."

Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride Linda Savage, a certified sex educator, sex therapist and author speaks at event. After passing out flyers to the crowd, Savage read each myth then gave tips for everyone on how to have a healthy sexual relationship with their partners. This advicç included communication, throwing away the performance model and focusing on pleasure, creating a seductive setting together, letting go of preconceived notions and listening to your partner. In all her years of experience as a sexual therapist, Savage said, "The number one role problem is over focus on partner." As for desire discrepancy, she said, "It is the number one problem in couple relationships." Myth number four states; "It's easy to tell who has more désire and who has less desire in a relationship." Savage stressed, "Low desire is Myth#3 Sex should h e natural a n d spontaneous.

S II not a lack of love." Then joked, "Don't listen to Oprah." The crowd laughed, and then she read more questions students asked on their index cards. One question read, "How often should we have sex?" To which Savage replied, "There is no such thing as a normal amount." "How do we get over Catholic guilt?" another student asked. Savage replied, "Respect yourself, love • ¡«J yourself, [and] don't look for someone to tell you what to do." This led to her advice for virgins. "If any one of you remains a virgin until marriage, I wouldn't even suggest having intercourse that night. Just petting and touching each other." She ended her speech by promoting safe sex to everyone, and said, "To touch, to love, that is sex. You don't have to have an orgasm." W hat is a lawyer? A debater? A fighter? Or more t han that?

C ALIFORNIA WESTERN S C H O O L O F L AW | S a n D i e g o What law school ought to be! �How to get your foot in tho door at law schoo BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer If you're applying for law school for 2007, this time of year may be the most important part of your academic career. You're entering or finishing your senior year, and these last grades before graduation will be most heavily scrutinized by law schools. While applications for law schools aren't due for a few months (application deadlines generally fall between January 1 and March 31), admissions officers and successful applicants know that by mid-October you should be well into the admissions process. "If you want to get accepted to a law school, make sure you've sent your application in before Thanksgiving," is the conventional wisdom for applying to most law schools. Some even claim that Thanksgiving is too late and that late October is when law school applications should be submitted. Unfortunately, in order to have your Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) score delivered before November, you need to have already taken the test. So if you haven't taken it yet, you'll most likely be looking at a 2008 admission date. If this is the case, starting now will help out greatly for next fall. For this year's applicants though, it's almost certain that completing your application as soon as possible will help enormously. Most law schools have rolling admissions, meaning that your application is evaluated as soon as they get it. In these cases they will fill available spaces for the coming year as they read through applications, meaning that if your application isn't in early, it won't even be considered. But even at schools that do not have rolling admissions, applying early will often be in your best interest. Admissions officers will sometimes assume students who apply early have a more serious interest in ¿heir school and give their applications more consideration. This competitive edge can mean the difference between getting an acceptance or a rejection letter. Still, just filling out die forms on time is not the only consideration. There are a few things that can keep even well-meaning and punctual applicants from getting their applications : jjjHltlffl ¡$mñ nj*i tTi < > . . • I m sJL J 1 mêm ¡LASOS« lûmisMm W second-straightfifthplace finish.

Admissions offices are also often overloaded with requests from other students during application periods, so starting the process early is imperative to being successful. Be aware that some schools require you to fax in your request for transcripts or even request transcripts in person, so transcripts should be requested at least a month in advance if possible, to avoid potential problems and delays. At the same time, applicants should be working on gathering their letters of recommendation. It comes as a surprise to some students, but they aren't the only people who procrastinate; bosses, professors and advisors do it too. This means that it is both polite and prudent to give those you ask for letters of recommendations at least a month to write them. Applicants should also give those writing their letters a clear idea of when the letter needs to be completed and sent to the LSAC. It also doesn't hurt to politely remind them about writing your letter of recommendation every so often, to keep it fresh i n their minds. As the saying goes, "timing is everything." If you're behind in applying, there's still time to get things done in time, but it will require a little extra effort to catch up. And for those that don't think they'll be able to get their applications done in Image courtesy of Northern Illinois University time, there's plenty of time to get prepared before next October. in on time: letters of recommendation and transcripts. Almost every law school requires that your LSAT scores, letters of recommendation and transcripts be sent to them by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). While you may be prompt about filling out and submitting forms on time these two items require you to convince others into working inside your deadlines. Compiling undergraduate transcripts can be a surprisingly time consuming task. Applicants should never underestimate the sluggishness of educational bureaucracies, and should plan accordingly.

Scott Conway and Arek Legarra posted solid rounds of 73, and Kyle Kelch and Mike Leonard shot 75. By the end of round one, Cal State San Marcos' team score of 286 gave them a healthy 8-shot lead over the field. Unfortunately, while the Cougars' first round was the best of the tournament by any team, their second was the worst. All five golfers scored higher than in the previous day, including Anderson following up his 65 with a disappointing 80. As a team, the Cougars' took 28 more strokes to get around the course in the second wm** s life round, shooting 314. Day three proved a little better, but CSUSM's score of 307 was not enough to get them back in contention. Scott Conway was able to turn it around through, matching his first round score of 73. His combined score of 223 earned him a tie for fifth in the tournament. The team ended up in fourth, 18 strokes behind winners Point Loma Nazarene University. PLNU won the tournament by just one stroke over Concordia University, and finished four ahead of Cal Baptist The Cougars did manage to finish ahead of CSU East Bay by 11 strokes. Despite the disappointment of losing the lead, the men's team should continue to improve throughout the fall and turn into a major contender by spring. Helping the cause will be the returns of Casey Sartori, Clint McCook, and Matthew Determan, who are all expected to be playing either later this fall or in the spring. The team will next be in action on October 22, at Sonoma State University. It is one of two tournaments remaining in the fall schedule, after which the squad will not compete again until February.

Gerrica Clark Pmimm M i lii Junior Campus Police Team raises over $2,000 for MADD AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer A special event occurred Saturday, September 24, in San Diego County. The event was the San Diego County fundraising walk, "Strides for Change." California State University San Marcos' very own campus police were there and raised $ 2,230 for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Oranization. Moreover, the campus police placed first in the Academic category at the fundraiser. The CSUSM police team is made up of S. Brown, Tina Griffith, Douglass Miller, Deb Schmidt, and Shelley Wicka. Their participation was not only a great contribution to MADD, but the commitment our police team displayed at the fundraiser also supports the CSUSM Police's mission to "build partnerships with surrounding communities, [and] to promote the University's goals and mission." CSUSM Police Department went above and beyond this year, and was able to raise an incredible amount of proceeds, exceeding their initial goal of $1,700. The police team is a perfect example of what a few people can do when they work together. The campus police in coordination with MADD hope to raise awareness and educate the public, especially students, about not drinking and driving. A few tips from MADD if you do plan on drinking: "If you plan to drink, choose a designated driver before going out " Two, "take mass transit, a taxicab, or ask a sober friend to drive you home." Lastly, two tigs that go hand in hand: "report an impaired driver if you notice' one," and "always buckle up; it can save your life." Founded 25 years ago, MADD is a non-profit organization with over 600 chapters nationwide. MADD is not against alcohol consumption, but MADD's mission is to "stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking." Congratulations to our campus police here at CSUSM and their dedication in raising $2,230 for MADD and their cause. Hopefully their appreciated efforts will continue into the future, supporting other worthy organizations.

The Kite Runner: Campus Read stimulates conversation BY SABRINA BAGLEY Pride Staff Writer In his book, "The Books In My Life," Henry Miller writes: "A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold." Recently, CSUSM has implemented a program with that ilk of enrichment in mind. In starting the Campus Read program, it is hoped that readers will form a bond via selected literature. As a result, the formation of the open forum is helping to facilitate discussion between many different groups on campus. Sponsored by the American Democracy Project, it is anticipated that book discussions and the sharing of opinions and ideas about this culturally significant novel will abound between students; faculty, and staff. Fall 2006 s selected reading was "The Kite Runner.": The author, Khaled Hosseini, was born in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1965. This semiM M ? autobiographical novel tells the story of Amir, an Afghan boy from a wealthy family. The story focuses on the impact a single decision can have on one's life. As a child, just before his family moves from Afghanistan, Amir witnesses his friend be brutally raped. Rather than intervene eventually ends up composing his own story. Later, Amir returns to Taliban controlled Kabul to find his half-brother. He finds him to be the sexual slave of a Taliban executioner, who also happens to be the same man who raped his friend. He fights to free his • brother, and they escape back to the United States. While the young man possesses a fragile emotional state, his rescue helps Amir to resolve his deep-seeded guilt. This book has gained world-, wide fame, and locally, was also chosen as Escondido's City Read. It serves as a vehicle for discussion about the historical and cultural issues as presented by Hosseini.

After tragic things like this, I begin to wonder about the things that led to the incident. I play the what-if game, even though I probably shouldn't. Lidle was traded from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Yankees at the trading deadline. He brought his plane from his home in Florida up'to New Jersey when he was . traded. Ifhe was never traded from the Phillies to the Yankees, would this have happened? I don't think so, since his off-season would have already begun about two weeks prior, and he likely would have already been in Florida. Of course, this could have happened anywhere. I also wonder, had he not been a pro athlete, would he have had such an expensive hobby. He purchased his small four-seat plane for 187,000 thousand dollars. Many athletes take up golf or buy a business to keep them busy in the off-season, but athletes now are beginning to play with more expensive things, like their lives. Remember Ben Roethlisberger, Kellen Winslow Jr., Jay Williams, and their motorcycle accidents? Fortunately, those guys weie all lucky to live through their accidents and return to their sports. Anyone who flies a plane always says that you're safer in a plane than in your own car driving on the freeway. That may be true, however, why put .yourself in a situation that you don't need to be in? It's nearly essential to drive a t ar, but it isn't essential toflya plane for hobby, especially when you have so much to lose. For a little perspective, here is the most remarkable story I heard on the day of the accident It came from Alan Schwarz, a senior writer from "Baseball America." A week before the accident, Lidle invited Schwarz for aflightin his plane. Schwarz always wanted to fly in one of the planes that Lidle owned, but he declined the invite because he and his wife just had a newborn baby and knew it could be a dangerous situation. Lidle was 34 years old, had a wife and child. Unfortunately, this is what it took for the sports media to stop talking about Terrell Owens, and Alex Rodriguez' postseason struggles.

Jaffe has authored 13 books and a collection of essays. For his performance at CSUSM, Jaffe chose five narratives: "Panther," "Salaam," "Things to do During Time of War,". "Potlatch," and "Monk and Suicide Bomber." "I hoped the [readings] would constitute an informative and even pleasurable grouping," said Jaffe. Each narrative lasted approximately ten minutes. The entire performance lasted almost one hour. Jaffe read most of the material. Mark Wallace, who has been an assistant professor at CSUSM for two years, read major parts as well. Two other female performers read briefly during "Salaam." Travas Rivas, majoring in Literature and Writing and graduating Spring 2008, said he was "absolutely" satisfied with Jaffe's performance. "His reading [brought] a different perspective and understanding you can't get out by reading his pieces," said Rivas. Patrick Ayson supplied music throughout the entire performance which provided a background to the readings. The music really enhanced the performance. "Patrick and I got together and did a little experimenting. I wanted to let Patrick do what he wanted to add a chance vector," explained Jaffe after the performance. "Patrick is a really fine young keyboard player and sound technician, and I think people will be hearing more about him as time goes on," said Wallace. I enjoyed "Panther" the most, the first narrative read solely by Jaffe. In this narrative, Jaffe explains his transition from a panther to a human. Jaffe wore black jeans, a black dress shirt with rolled up sleeves to his biceps, a pair of black-tinted sun glasses, an almost evil-looking full beard, and to complete the ensemble he wore two black leather gloves on each hand. The content w is very intriguing. He describes the surgery required to conceal his true identity as a panther and how he has to keep himself from jumping over the podium and savaging the audience because he still is a panther on the inside, I was almost scared to a certain extent. I felt myself being attracted to another world out of the Grand Salon in the Clarke Field House at CSUSM. I drifted into a fictional world where panthers were capable of con- verting into humans. The style in which Jaffe delivered his performance was very convincing and the music that Ayson created as Jaffe read aloud added to the surreal element and combined to create an overall creepy feeling. The four narratives provided humorous moments as well, and the audience, including myself, let out loud bursts of laughter. Other moments during the readings made me think deeply. The whole performance was very fascinating and thought-provoking. "Overall, I was really very happy with the reading and really look forward to more readings on campus that are coming up. It's great that the school is giving its students an opportunity to hear published authors read form their work, and [I] would like to see this kind of thing happen more often on campus," said Rivas. For those reading this article and feeling left out, do not fret. Linh Dinh, a fiction writer and poet, will be performing Thursday, October 26 at 7 p.m. at the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. See you there.

If you're a real movie fan, you know this one is a sure thing: Martin Scorsese, a crime tale, and a bunch of Hollywood mantalent. Set in Boston, it's a typical Scorsese blood-and-guts film (think "Casino," "Taxi Driver"). Here's a comparison: it's darker than, but has the compelling story of "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," without the intersecting plot lines and oodles of characters to remember. But it's tamer than "Reservoir Dogs" or "Pulp Fiction," with a more commercial, solid crime-suspense story. In fact, the story is as enthralling as the acting, especially good for someone with a short term memory like me (who sometimes wonders halfway through a film, "Who who, what what?''). Such a person will thoroughly enjoy "The Departed," as the plot is easy to follow, but engaging—I never once wondered how long we had been in the theater, but wondered what the hell was going to happen next: true evidence of cinematic captivation. The story centers on a sort of Boston Mafia, headed by Frank Costello, and the Boston State Police. Costello, played by none other than Jaek Nicholson, picks a young Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) to mentor into his gang. Later, Sullivan enters the police academy and slickly infiltrates the "Staties" Organized Crime Unit as a detective. There he warns "Dad" Costello every time the police are onto him. The only problem is two detectives, Queenan (Martin Sheen) and Digriam (Mark Wahlberg), who place a freshly graduated cop, Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), as a Costello infor- mant. Planted in jail and drug deals, Billy wins Costello's confidence and joins the gang. This is when the story gets good. Entirely unaware of each other, Costigan calls the cops on Costello while Sullivan calls them off. Voila, both sides smell a rat. Costigan and Sullivan, one fearing his life and the other his job, both desperately try to identify the other. It goes on like that for a long, satisfyingly suspenseful while. Of course there's blood and stuff, and a love triangle, but I won't tell you who gets popped or who's the baby's daddy or how it-ends., I'm not that rude. Because you are going to see this movie, if only to gawk at Mark Wahlberg (who my husband and I could only refer to as "Marky-Mark") and his bull-cut-damn-near-mullet. Wahlberg also delivers most of the requisite off-color jokes, though they're strewn left and right by the cops and the bad guys so much, they're distracting. Also distracting are the Boston accents. I'm a sucker for even the slightest male Eastern accent, but these ones don't work, even for Massachusetts natives Wahlberg and Damon (whose charming Boston accent was still deliciously intact for "Good Will Hunting"). Still, Damon's is most believable compared to the others, which seem to fade iñ and out; I don't think Leo even attempts his. But Nicholson, predictably, is extremely believable as the half-crazy crime boss Costello. Damon, who typically doesn't play the bad-guy role, does it well because he looks so much like a good guy—the key to being secretly bad. And Leo, fíate to say, is excellent. His portrayal of a stresscrazed police informant/crime apprentice is consistently excellent. I grudgingly admit "The Departed" might have made me á fan. Don't overlook this classic suspense film. Oscar certainly won't. Image courtesy of Warner Brothers �Drink of the Week fall ris p BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer As most apple-lovers well know, apple season blossoms in late September and continues well into November. Though, due to storage techniques available today, apples are available year-round, and for the traditionalist there is really no more appealing time than autumn to enjoy them. Along with pears, peaches plums, and apricots, to name a few, the apple is a member of the rose family, a fact perhaps most beautifully expressed in Robert Frost's poem, "The Rose Family." This healthful fruit, rich in fiber and flavonoids, has long been praised for its ability to "keep the doctor away" and was associated in ancient times with immortality and reincarnation. The apple was also a symbol of love and fertility and often associated with wisdom. Taking all this into consideration, is it really any wonder that Gwyneth Paltrow named her firstborn after this most remarkable of fruits? ^ ^ i l ^ f i | Perhaps, though, even Eve would blush at the vast array of apple recipes modern apple-connoisseurs have at their disposal. Aside from such mainstream favorites as apple pie, apple turnovers, candied apples, caramel apples, and the more exotic delights, such as apple tabouleh and apple risotto, there is the sweetly sinful collection of appleinspired cocktails. One of the simplest apple cocktails is the Fall Crisp. A mixture of 1 to 2 ounces of vodka and 14 ounces of apple cider, shaken in a cocktail shaker with ice and ALESMITH EVIL DEAD R ED ALE Beer of the Week strained into a Collins glass, the Fall Crisp deliciously lives up to its name. It is not only crisp, but it's also sweet and definitely refreshing: By no means a drink one would drink expressly to get drunk, the Fall Crisp will nonetheless produce a pleasant buzz. For a festive alternative, take a walk on the wild side and substitute sparkling apple cider. Either way, it is possible to drink one's apple a day. Live long and prosper.

No, what's so refreshing about The Oohlas is that it's fairly clear it never occurred to band members Olivia Stone and brothers, Mark and Greg Eklund, to shape their sound into a clearly definable genre. Sometimes eletronica, sometimes indie-rock that invokes the spirit of Beck, the band's sound is a combination of loud, toe-tapping riffs and reserved harmonies that contrast in a way that works with the dark subject matter of the album. The ride of the album is spacey. The opening track on the album, "Gone," evokes a topsyturvy feeling reminiscent of the final scene of "The Labyrinth" Float through the perfect harmonies and scratchy guitar riffs; this one is well-worth the ride. The highlight of the album is Stone's vocals, however, which dominate most of the tracks. Her sweet sound on the track "Tripped" belies the song's dark subject matter: "You're aging fast/Your skull is thick/Keep drinking darkness stupid prick/ And I'd rather die than watch you drown/Breathing the dust and shoving coffee down." It's one of the many tracks devoted to what is, seemingly, a story of love lost. "TV Dinner" is another favorite and a true shining moment for Stone. Here she ditches the reserved tone and breaks out mid-track into an accusatory cry of anguish: "I don't know where to go anymore/Why don't you love me?*' The final track is the pinnacle of the album; "The Rapid" has a sound epic enough for a Coldplay single with its steady, building sound. Here the band quietly asserts a claustrophobic need: "There are too many people here/Far too many people near/ I don't want to get too close/It's not healthy." The sound is complex, but here Stone's amiable voice compliments the MiddleEastern rhythm in a soothing DA O Fin?CnrAT R G NO E R DDViirf? T way, a departure from the fastpaced tracks that play before it. It's a joy to listen to—again, despite the subject matter—and a nice finish to our space ride through "Best Stop Pop." Although much of the album is a delight, tracks with one of the two Eklunds on lead vocals fall short. By comparison they seem bland and tired—a sound we've heard before (see Beck Images courtesy of The Oohlas above). Stone makes the difference here, her sharp intonation a truly unique sound from other current albums. Although I give the album four paws, it's probably best suited for those already comfortable with artists a little offbeat. Fans of alternative should find The Oohlas' upbeat tempos familiar, but with an overall refreshing sound and, in a word, different. ; oninbi in nLrt 1 Concert Review BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer An adrenaline-charged and energized line wrapped around the House of Blues last October 6. With a ratio of 15 males to every female, the air was thick with testosterone and heavy with aggressive fury, As eager fans compared notes on metal band trivia, the members of DragonForce could be heard in the dungeon below warming up their fiery vocals, unloading a heavy round of progressive metal thundAs the clock struck 7 p.m., the doors to the dark venue opened, and the mob of DragonForce fanatics charged the floor, Within minutes, hundreds of sweaty fans pounded theirfistsin the air and crowded the general admission floor, causing the overflow of fans to pour into the outlying rooms and stairwells. Hailing from London, DragonForce unleashes a sonic plague of merciless shred and callous metal. Signed to Road Runner Records, the six-piece band released their third album, "Inhuman Rampage," earlier this year. All That Remains, opener for DragonForce, packed up their equipment after a .solid set, clearing the way for the brutal mutiny that would soon blast House of Blues to its core. A fulsome orange countdown timer ticked away as a threedimensional metal backdrop with "In&uer r man Rampage" splattered in large red text dropped down to frame the stage. Grounded by pulsating bass and metal riffage pounding through the walls, the experience itself was no small feat. The restless crowd chanted and stomped, "Drag-on-FORCE! Drag-on-FORCE!" in hopes of awakening the bestial band. A montage of red lights flooded the stage, haunting the shadows of the equipment and blinding inebriated onlookers, ZP Theart, lead singer for DragonForce, jumped onto the raised platform, a large fan blowing his black hair all over, and spat water onto the closest audience members as he roared "San Diego! How are all you mutha-Pckers?!" with his brash British accent. The house went crazy, With an army of guitars locked and loaded, the members of DragonForce prowled around audience members like predators, rioting song after song like "Revolution Deathsquad," and "Storming the Burning Fields." Inciting "Operation Ground and Pound" next, the metal Gods rained down a divine cataclysm of devastating cho^s. : As the night progressed, the "wow" factor held strong as RedBull and Jaeger kept the 21+ gathering upstairs in check, With unforgiving vocals and tormented solos, DragonForce gave it their all, interacting with the crowd to a degree I had never witnessed before.

See POWWOW, page 6 �Student computer labs on overload 'Don't give up'onfinding a computer, advises lab monitor By Nam Van Ngo Staff Writer John Wheeler/Staff Photographer Campus computer labs have been filled to capacity this semester. Anyone who looks into one of the eight rooms on the Academic Hall's second floor can see computer labs full of students busilly working on computers — too many students, in fact. The campus's computer labs have become extremely overcrowded this semester with the influx of new students, as well as a shortage of computers and space. "I think that the labs are really good for the students because they have a chance to get information or work on reports (and) papers that they need to finish," said first-year s tudent John Cedres. "But it does get extremely crowded and it is unfair for some students who really need to get on a computer." "The situation could be helped with more funding, buildings, labs and people," according to lab monitorCharles Pratt, addingthat some students waist valuable time, another contributing factor to the problem. "Just as well, students shouldn't play around on the computers. They should get to work and just pound away until it is done." Despite overcrowding, Pratt said students should not just give uplookingfor a computer on campus. Classes also take up time and space in the computer labs as well. Pratt adivsed that students look around for labs that are open between class times when the main opan-access lab is full. "They should look for open labs. The class schedule and times are printed and posted right by the door," he said. The second floor of the Academic Hall is the main level for all computer labs. The labs consist of Macintosh computers as well as IBMs and compatible software, too. Students have access to the labs to work on reports, check email (electronic mail) or access information from the Internet. Students always have access to room ACD 202, which is the main computer lab always open for student use. Computer lab hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday 7 a.m. and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays. Weekend hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m on Sundays. Intramurals delayed, Students receive scholarships but basketball ready By Andrew Bailey Staff Writer Although intramural sports have been put on hold for the last few weeks due to problems obtaining insurance and lack of interest, Associated Students officials have announced they will be starting this month. The insurance needed by the AS to start intramural sports is scheduled to come through this week. The obtainment of this insurance was a major factor behind the delay in the start of intramurals, according to AS President Charles Ragland. Another problem was the lack of interest and support for other sports in the program like flag football, volleyball and soccer. "Basketball was our most popular sport," said Ragland. "More people signed up for basketball than any other sport. We were easily able to organize enough teams for a league." Basketball is scheduled to start Oct 23. The other sports will not be disbanded for the semester, however. Aseriesofone-daytournaments will be organized for these sports so as to not leave the people who want to play them with nothing to do. The facilities for volleyball and soccer and football are not completely finished y et The field needs to be check for safety and the lines need to be drawn, added Ragland. The sand volleyball court is notfinishedyet because the sand has not arrived. As for basketball, facilities are another reason why it will start on time. "We have worked out a deal with Palomar College that will let us use their gym as the site for the basketball games with no cost," said Ragland. Renewed efforts will be made to start leagues for volleyball, soccer, football and softball next semester, but it is all based on the interest and support showed by the students and faculty on campus, Ragland said. Two Cal State San Marcos students, Elizabeth Crocker-Ericson and Vonda Sigstad, recently received Indian Health Service scholarships which will provide them approximately $11,500 per year and can be renewed for up to six years, it was announced last week. Both Crocker-Ericson and Sigstad, who are members of the Cherokee nation, are juniors in CSUSM's Sociology program. CrockerEricson and Sigstad were among 300 recipients of Indian Health Service scholarships, and were selected from more than 13,000 applicants. Crocker-Ericson, 38, lives in Oceanside and is the mother of six children (and the stepmother of three). According to CrockerEricson, in high school she felt that she was not smart enough to go to college. Instead, she entered the workforce and started a family. Years later, while taking classes at MiraCosta College in Oceanside, she learned that it was dyslexia that thwarted her learning ability in high school.

John Wheeler/Staff Photographer University offers off-campus living By Paul Hilker Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos may not have dormitories yet, but there are other options available to those who need a place to live near the campus. Just two miles off campus is a university-sponsored housing project composed of 12 units. The project is at an apartment complex on Ash Lane in San Marcos, called Islands. The housing project is a great opporunity to meet other students, and live near the campus for an affordable price, according to campus Housing Services. The complex contains one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites. Students can choose between single, or double occupancy bedrooms. Public transportation to the campus is available for those who need it. Because San Marcos is a new campus, it needs projects like the housing to initiate a sense of community among the students. According to Mike LeBrun, afirst- yearstudentat CSUSM,thehousing program is a good way to meetnewpeople andgetinvolved with other students from campus. There are currently two community living advisers staying in the complex who answer any questions new occupants might have about housing facilities or other housing services. Both advisers, Heather Law and Brad Ward, are students at CSUSM. Since the services are new, recreational opportunities are still in the process of being developed. Tanis Brown, head of Housing Services, said that much is being done to insure convenience of location and reasonable cost for students. Programs like monthly potlucks, birthday parties and other activities are being planned to increase the students' comfort and satisfaction within the complex. Applicants for the housing must pay a non-refundable application fee of $35, and fill out an evaluation form to determine roommate compatibility. Cost per student is $2,600 for a standard double occupancy bedroom and $3,800for a standard single, which includes utilities.. Four payment plans are available. The apartments are leased to students for the academic year. All of the apartments are fully furnished and include a stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. Furnishings include a couch, chair, coffee table, end table, table lamp and dining table with chairs. Each student also isprovided with a twin bed, chest of drawers and a desk with chair. All apartments are wired with phone jacks and cableTV. Selectapartmentscome with microwaves and/or clothes washer and dryer. Students interested in the offcampus housing program can contact Tanis Brown at 7504952, or write to Housing Services, CSU San Marcos, San Marcos, CA 92096-0001. Gastaneda to author report fo State of Hawaii Lillian Vega Castaneda, a professor in the College of Education, has been selected to write a literature review on current research and theory in thefieldof early childhood education and care for the State of Hawaii. Castaneda's proposal for the review was selectedfromamong 45 professors of education by program staff of the Hawaii Community Foundation and the Henry and Dorothy Castle Fund for Children, America's oldest special-purpose charitable fund for children. The review, which will be published and made available to 200 state agencies, private agencies, schools, colleges and libraries, will analyze effective practices, programs and service delivery models, as well as the underlying theory surrounding the health, welfare and education services to young children and their families. The review will help to organize the body of relevant literature, and inform future program planning, development and implementation efforts surrounding the delivery of services to young children. Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy noted that "California State University, San Marcos is delighted to have the chance to serve the early childhood education and care community in the Pacific Rim. The Castle Fund for children and the John Dewey Fund helped start the University of Chicago Lab School in the 1890s and is continuing to invest in forward-looking institutions, people and programs. We look forward to our continuing outreach to the many communities we serve." Castaneda joined CSUSM's College of Education in 1992 and received her Ed.D.fromHarvard University. �Don't forget victims ^ Cal State San Maree^hn^^d the EDITORIAL ^SwiMarcos is a u n i v e r s i t y ^ t t f f l p e d i ^ ^ ^ f j ^ ^ n a e n t j l of all people, regardless of, tfeefrage, s ex or etifiiikity.

When I talk about the kind of line drawn as a result of the OJ Simpson trial, I mean that a division has been drawn between those who care about victims of crimes like murder and those who care more for a "fallen hero" instead. This kind of division holds no racial boundaries. Caucasians and African Americans share the blame equally. The day the verdict was read, I was shocked to hear the response of the Los Angeles Urban League's president on KNX 1070-AM radio. He talked about how pleased he was that the Los Angeles Police Department was exposed for the corrupt institution it is. Frankly, I could not agree more with that sentiment It is what h e said afterwards in response to a reporter's question that angered me. "Shouldn't the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman be the focus of this case?" the reporter essentially asked. The bestthepresidentcoulddowasshrugitoff by saying, "Yeah, this case was also about murder and other things." •Murder* and "other things?" The sole case was murder. OJ Simpson was found not guilty and that decision needs to be accepted. As a result, however, the murders of Brown and Goldman technically remain unsolved, and that is a tragedy. Not to the president of the Los Angeles Urban League. He and his organization have gained important political clout now that African American citizens of Los Angeles have been vindicated when it comes to LA police corruption and disorganization. To top that, perhaps the most prominentAfrican American celebrity has been acquitted of murder. That response did not anger me nearly as much, however, as the reactions of Simpson fans in general. I remember the images broadcast on television and reported in local newspapers. People across racial lines cheered that the "Juice" was "let loose," and to hell with the murder victims and their families.

Students at Palomar Collegecheered in the Student Union when the verdict was read, but the cheers outscreamed t he cries of those who felt for the victims nonetheless. If Simpson was found guilty, it should have been a sad moment If h e was found not guilty, as he was, t he moment should have been just as somber. His acquittal did not erase the murders. Yes, t he dividing line has been drawn. Not between "black" and "white," but between those who care for victims and their families and those who believe in false heroes. T here is no doubt Simpson abused his former wife, but that is not the issue for Simpson lovers. The only issue for a great many of those who cheered his acquittal is that now they can pay who-knows-howmuch to see him "tell his story" on pay-perview cable, or see him on television as a sports commentator or salesman or perhaps meet him on an airplane. No one, and I mean no one, must forget the two most important things to come out of this trial. First, our judicial system does work. The jury felt a reasonable doubt as to his guilt, and they had to acquit as they were required to do. That decision is to be respected. Secondly, and most importantly, two people are dead and two families must live with t he fact that t he murderer of their loved ones was never brought to justice. One of those victims was an unassuming friend of Nicole Brown, and she was the mother of Simpon's two youngest children. There is nothing to celebrate about t hat I have only one thing to say to those who have allowed celebrity status to blind them to t he cold, hard truth: save your star-crossed cheers and take just one moment to care.

The fact that Native Americans are an integral part of the educational process on campus also demonstrates that people of indigenous origin are welcome and on par with everyone else, he said. This opening of educational doors is also important to the San Diego County native population, according to Bonnie Biggs. The land Cal State San Marcos sits on was once occupied by the local Luiseno tribe. The relationships that have been developed with local native tribes is extremely important, she continued, "and to keep up those relationships is something I'm going to pursue until my dying day. I fs so fundamentally rooted in our Mission Statement" The Cal State San Marcos Pow Wow has its beginnings in a series of Native American story-tellings held at the former San Diego State North County campus library, according to Biggs. Both Biggs and Whitehorse were responsible for the development of the events, which were a success from the very beginning, Biggs said. "Four hundred people showed up to our first story-telling," she noted. The number of participants at the annual powwows has since grown to nearly 10,000. " Ifs one of the best pow wows in California," she said, "so that after a few years of doing this we'refinallygetting it right" Biggs credited the even's committee for providing the nuts and bolts behind the event "Theirspiritisso appreciated,"Biggs added. "I think it is one of the best examples of how the university adheres to the Mission Statement," Whitehorse explained, "that this university affirms and supports cultural diversity and not just by numbers." Indeed, according to Whitehorse and event coordinator Bonnie Biggs, Native Americans are sorely under-represented in American education. The pow wow provides a gateway for the kind of educational conversation that takes place between Native America and the community at large. "Ifs not an event where you just come to eatfrybread and look at the pretty feathers," said Biggs. "Ifs the preservation of indigenous cultures in this nation." The fact that Cal State San Marcos is open to Native Americans is in itself a barrier-breaker, explained Whitehorse. "It helps develop trust with institutions where there hasn't been a lot of trust," he said, adding that, traditionally, universities have been closed to the Native American population. Having a university that is open to the population helps Native Americans feel comfortable "to be native and still be a part of the educational system, and for Indian people that's very important." Whitehorse, who is of Lakota background, cited the number of Native American faculty and staff members as an example of the university's commitment to the indigenous population. "Having faculty and staff at all levels is also critically important," he explained. "Another thing that (having these people "We have a holy Mission Statement," on campus) does is that it provides a ve- she said, "and I like to do as much as I can" hicle to get information out to the native to uphold i t �Native American students get motivated By Tony Barton News Editor One hundred twelve Native American high school students represented roughly 80 tribes from southern California at Cal State University San Marcos on O ct 6 for the third annual American Indian College Motivation day. Students from as far San Diego and Riverside were on campus attending workshops, listening and participating in songs, and attending lectures aimed at motivating them to pursue higher education. "The main objective of the event was to, help the students attain their higher education goals," said Mary Wardell, who was the coordinator of the event According to Wardell, two steps used to motivate students were bringing them to a college campus and giving them a taste of the U niversity's c lassroom e xperience through the workshops. The day was opened with a prayer, after which students chose to attend two out of six offered workshops. Available were workshops on library technology, self esteem from a Native American's perspective, Southern California Indian History, Native American stereotypes, exploring cultural information on the internet, and financial aid available to Native Americans for higher education. "The first couple of years focused on more specific information,* said Director of Student Affirmative Action Carolina Cardenas, who was instrumental in starting the event three years ago. "Every year it evolves. This year we did more of what the students were telling us they wanted. Last year we told them lots of deadlines for things like financial aid. This year we showed them that in college this is the kind of hands on experience they will recieve." Having put together a large majority of the first event, Cardenas has since handed Wardell the job of coordinator. The self esteem workshop, according to the workshop speaker and director of the Trio program Calvin One Deer, was aimed at giving Native American students the confidence to pursue higher education. "Sometimes people think that self-esteem is an ego trip," h e said. " Ifs n ot I fs about confidence. We want to give Indian kids the confidence to go to college.* The American Indian College Motivation day was the kickoff to the Cal State San Marcos Pow Wow which occurred Oct7^8. Presented at this year's third annual Pow Wow were the food, arts, crafts and dances of local Indian cultures. College of Education receives its accreditation By Tony Barton News Editor Cal State University San Marcos' College of Education received high marks in itsfirstaccreditation by a national organizationthismonth. All subjectswere passed, none were identified as lacking, and seven programs were cited as "exemplary practice" by a team of experts, representing the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education(NCATE), who evaluated the teacher education programs. "You've got to be thrilled," said Dr. Steve Lilly, dean of the College of Education. "We really are as good as we want to be." Only roughly 40 percent of teacher education programs nationwide are accredited, no more than 2 percent of those have no weaknesses specified, and typically 1-3 programs are cited as "exemplary practice," according to Lilly. The experts who reviewed the college were from universities around the country Octel's advanced technology is making it possible for people all over the world to make their voices heard.

The NCATE accreditation stands for the nextfive years. T he NCATE review follows l ast summer's successful comprehensive review by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing(CTC), the state agency responsible for approving institutions that award teaching credentials. In the CTC review, the college received approval of both ifs elementary and middle school CLAD (Cross-cultural Language and A cademic D evelopment) and BCLAD (Bilingual Cross-cultural Language and Academic Development) programs, which prepare teachers to work with a diverse group of students. "This is an indication of out success n preparing teachers for schools in North San Diego County and the surrounding region. We are pleased that our partners in area schools, as well as our past and current teacher education students, were so supportive of our programs in their conversations with the CTC team," said Lilly of the accreditation. A CTC team granted CSUSM unconditional approval of ifs programs after interviewing faculty, current and former students, school superintendents and principals, and many others to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs.

TrishNagy/StaffPhotographer Noted author Rabbi Wayne Dosick was a featured speaker on campus Oct. 13 as part of Make a Difference Day. Dosick spoke on the ethic of doing good to students and staff in ACD-102. Rabbi Wayne Dosick speaks at CSUSM By Greg Hoadley Staff Writer T h e Ethic of Doing Good* was the theme of a presentation given by noted author Rabbi Wayne Dosick Oct 13 on campus. Students and faculty attended the lecture as part of the kick-off for this year's Make a Difference Day, which is Oct 27. The event was sponsored by Cal State San Marcos and the Office of Service Learning. Dosick, the author of such books as T he Business Bible:Ten Commandments for Creating an Ethical Workplace* and "Golden Rules: Ten Values Parents Need to Teach Their Children,* spoke of the harsh realities of modern society on the one hand, and the good that can come from volunteering one's energy to benefit the world around them, on the other. Dosick said he sensed that religion has been trivialized in modern society, noting that while 90 percent of people profess a belief in God, only about 30 percent regularly attend church or synagogue. Due to separation of church and state, it becomes much harder to depend upon our religious leaders, he explained, since they are the ones who teach society what is right and wrong. This loss of values cannot be filled by the government, he added. T h e government has no sense of what is right and just,* he told the audience. "It only has a sense of the law.* Dosickpointedoutsomecontradictions of our times. On the one hand, we are a society of victims, he said. He cited the example of a senior citizen who won a multi-million-dollar lawsuit because she spilled hot coffee on herself in her moving automobile. People take no responsibility fortheir actions because society has somehow wronged them, he said. On the other hand, he continued, this is the "ME Decade.* To illustrate his point, Dosick told of his beloved boyhood heroes,the 1959Chicago White Sox baseball team. Theteamwonthepennantbasedon a foundation of teamwork and bringing winning baseball to theirfans,he said. He then contrasted this long-ago memory to today's greedy millionaire ballplayers, whose sole motivation is selling their services to the highest bidder, he noted. Such a society, which Dosick said condemns personal responsibility and teamwork, makes it that much harder to live a virtuous life while fulfilling one's goals, much less finding the time to make a !Making a difference starts with yourself' Rabbi Wayne Dosick difference in someone else's life. w In the end,* he said, "we count on ourselves. Making a difference starts with yourself. Every day when you go to work, you can raise or lower the spirit of those you work with, just by your attitude,* Dosick encouraged his audience to see beyond themselves, to "see the faces of those we are feeding; not the 'hungry' or the 'needy,' but the individual faces.* This leads to a third irony. T here arefivebillion people in the world,* he said. Through modern technology, we have the capacity tp feed seven billion people. Yet only four billion people are regularly fed.* But can one person make a difference through the ethic of doing good? Dosick said yes, as he pointed to the names of those once-simple, ordinary people, past and present, who were able to make a change for the better: Lech Walesa, a Polish plumber, was instrumental in gaining his nation's independence, Dosick cited. Today, Walesa is the president of Poland. Mother Teresa, now in her 80s, still strives to make the world a better place for the children, he continued. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was able to change our nation's consciousness on the issue of race. So how does one know if he or she is doing what is ethically good and making a positive difference? Dosick said he has what he calls the "Rodney King Syndrome.* "If my every action were shown on national TV for all to see, would I be ashamed or proud?* That is the question people must ask themselves. In closing, Dosick gave his listeners an easy reminder on how to live their lives and practice the ethic of doing good, underthepseudonym "ETHICS*—'E'stands for everywhere, T is all the time, 'H' is honesty, T is integrity, 'C' is compassion and <S' is for what is at stake: your reputation, your self esteem, your inner peace. �AMAZING PACKAGES AMAZING AIRFARES H AWAII $ 169 ow E .

San Marcos (Mulberry Plaza) Be prepared: flu is on its way I fs that time of year again. The weather has changed, midterms are here, students and staff are under stress and the first round of respiratory viruses have arrived. The media is also stating that the "flu" has arrived. According to San Diego County Public f: PRINCIPLES of SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING Health Department there are no reported cases of true influenza yet Also, they are not predicting a harsh "flu season" as has been reported in the media. True influenza is a viral respiratory infection that strikes suddenly with high fever, bodyaches, frequently severe headache (especially around the eyes) dry hacking cough and ofter respiratory symptoms. Most young healthy adults will be able to recoverfromthe infection without much problem except missing a few days of classes or work. For others who are considered "high risk", the illness can be very serious with pneumonia and a long recovery being prominent To prevent this potentially serious illness each year an influenza "flu" vaccine is developed. It changes each year because although the clinical illness doesn't change the virus does. Viruses are very sneaky microbes. By the way, there are two significant influenza viruses, A &B. Type A causes the most severe illness. The vaccine this year protects against 2 viruses of the Atype and one of the B type. The best time to get the vaccine is essentially now through November because it often takes a few weeks to develop antibodies after vaccination. The immunity then lasts at its highest level for approximately three months. As with many preventive health practices people don't avail g DR. PEL mm. RINOLDS themselves to their benefits. One reason frequently given is that influenza is a nuisance illness. As previously stated it is very serious for high risk people and can strike even healthy people quickly causing pneumonia. Also, it is a major factor in loss of school and workdays. Secondly, people all too often have heard stories about reactions that mostly are not true andfrequentlygreatly exaggerated. Studies have demonstrated almost the same reported effects with vaccine or placebo (placebo being not an active vaccine). Also, the newer vaccines are purer and more sophisticated. The only true contraindication not to receive the vaccine is a serious allergy to eggs because the viruses used to create the vaccine are grown in egg cell-culture. Who should definitely receive the vaccine, i.e. the high-risk groups? They are as follows: 1. People with chronic lung or heart disease. This includes persons with asthma-which includes many college-age students. 2. People with chronic metabolic disease such as diabetes, kidney disease or people who are immunosuppressed. 3. People over the age of 60. 4. People who are capable of See GRIN0LDS, page 12 help@hand Computing F j^or fast relief from the nagging ache o f taxes, w e recommend T IAA-CREF S RAs.

The other three members of Gene played great yet remained in the very animated shadow of Rossiter. Although it should be mentioned that lead guitarist Steve Mason ("The Handsome One," as introduced by Rossiter) was infineform. Drummer Matt James and bassist Kevin Miles also played wonderfully. Gene played "Left-Handed," a song about coming out of the closet and losing one's mother's love. Upon being asked about his own sexual orientation Rossiter seemed slightly annoyed yet explained, *I refuse to give it a name, but I'm attracted to both men and women, although a lot of people seem to think that that means that I'm some screaming nymphomaniac who runs down the road in a caveman outfit grabbing anything in his path....which is a nice t hought but that certainly never happens." Even though the T>and has an obvious sex appeal, Rossiter denies any advancements by his fans, "Oh no, they're far too well behaved." Gene also played their ode to those who've lived and died and were shunned in the process, "For H ie Dead," and a sad song about a dead brother who's last dying signals went unnoticed, "London, Can You Wait?" When asked about his beliefs of the post-physical death Rossiter simply said, "I believe in soil." T hafs it? "Religion is created because humans cannot cope with the idea that there is no more than 70 years." If the religious hold beliefs out of fear then Rossiter avoids it for the same reason. "I'm very scared of death and I prefer not to think about it," he said. Even with that said, Gene still played the lush single "01ympian"withthewords, "Formidable and not afraid/Of the next world, just delayed." Gene also treated the audience to a "burial ofjustice" song called "Truth Rest Your Head," to which Rossiter introduced with a reference to OJ Simpson. "Ifs very easy to say, Yes OJ Simpson is guilty,' or, Y es OJ Simpson is innocent' Obviously it wasn't a trial, it was a TV show," he said of the recent trial. "In fact it was a fiasco and how the man managed to get a fair trial in the first place I really don't know, so Gene lead singer Martin Rossiter noticed that San Diego locals are, "horrendously anti-smoking, which is understandable, really." I really have no opinions on i t I am quite prepared to say I don't know enough information to say whether he is or not, but I hope that at least that policeman Mark Furman dies." But with all that lackof opinion stated, he still sang, "Truth rest your head/There is more than a life at stake h ere/For me you died tonight/So don't involve meinyourplans/Whenthe chat shows beckon/For me you died tonight" W hen h e's not s inging, Rossiter sometimes occupies himself with American afternoon talk shows. He marvels at the psychology of the guests. "I think they're mad in a wonderful way," h e noted. He even fantasizes about appearing in multi-disguises on various talk shows around the world, "spouting utter nonsense and scaring lots of children." He does, however, have a problem with shows such as Melrose Place because of their "art of compromise. They make a nod to feminism and they make a nod to the left, but when push comes to shove they always shy awayfromthefinalpunch." Rossiter doesn't enjoy making videos, either, "because all the people who make videos are frustrated film makers. They don't give a monkey's armpit about the actual song. They don't care. They're there to try and make something that will look good for their portfolio so they can get into Hollywood and t hafs what really, really annoys me." The band has a lot of touring to do before they can move on to their next album. Rossiter, however, is anxious to get beyond their current album "Olympian." A new album will hopefully leave the cliche Smiths comparisons in their wake. Even though Rossiter is part of such a wonderful group, h e still seems a little bit depressed and never finds himself fully satisfied. "I am human," h e somberly explained. He drowns his sorrows in alcohol and cigarettes. Even his songs cry for help. The song "Be My Light, Be My Guide" was played in full force. Gene introduced three new songs that Tuesday night and after the last song was played, the crowd was left wanting more. Gene came back for three encores. Nobody in the house dared decline such grand designs. �Letters Continued from page 5 Mr. Hoadley, I sincerely hope this article was a result of an assignment you weren't too interested in writing. I fs hard to imagine that someone on this campus would be so naive and uninformed as to believe these "facts* as you wrote them. In one sense, I agree with you. Congress did blow it in regards to funding for the arts. The budget should have at least been tripled. It would be more efficient if I just go through your article and point out some of your misinformation. C ongress's m oney i s t he public's money. Our money. Our tax dollars. In theory, that means they spend it on what the public wants. That obviously doesn't really happen, but if you'd check the Constitution, thafs what is supposed to happen. By cutting the funding for arts in America, Congress would be robbing the public. Since it would help to know what we're talking about here, I thought it might be good to figure out the cost of arts funding to the American taxpayer. Given the current budget of $438 million and a taxpaying population of about 240 million, it comes out to around $1.83 per person, peryear. I don't think thafs too much. In your second paragraph, you s tate t hat " the f ederal government...has no business funding arts.'' Although some of these programs might seem unreasonable to you personally, they are valid nonetheless. This pat- tern goes throughout the history of humanity. With very few exceptions, all the classic arts have been produced with state funding. Mozart worked for the emperor of Austria, Michaelangelo worked for the Catholic Church, Le Corbusier worked for t he French government As far as "surviving in a capitalist environment" is concerned, it barely merits comment Anyone with knowledge about the arts business will gladly elucidate how difficult it is to survive in a culture that has no artistic identity. If the American public had greater access to art, as opposed to corporate media, it might be easier to make a living with i t The arts are by no means a "luxury item." They constitute one of the few things we share with our fellow humans. It is a common bond between cultures, and I doubt you could find any business or industry that does not require some sort of artist in its overall structure to function. Thaf s just a f act Accessibility to art has often been a measure of how civilized a nation is. All the great cultures of the past owe much of their success to the quality of their arts. It is callous and grossly irresponsible to suggest that cutting a virtually nonexistent segment of the budget would benefit America, let alone relieve t he national debt in any way. Frankly, o ne of t he b iggest "luxury items" thafs been tossed about is military spending. You mention "Sesame Street" and Barney" as being two shows that would survive without public funding.

Tell me, what do you think most young kids would rather watch? "Sesame S treet" or "Beverly Hills 90210?* If children's shows are not publicly supported they die. That's a fact of economics. Theshowsthatthe Public Broadcasting System (PBS) produces do not reach as wide an audience as they should, partly because they're not as concerned with commercial success. This attitude allows them the luxury to produce p rograms which might actually be useful. I laughed when I read your " ...the i nfamous Robert Mapplethorpe photos (too lewd to describe here)." What do you knowaboutthem? Personally, I'm not offended by still-lifes and portraits. Perhaps you are? Oh, you must mean the homo-erotic ones! Well,frankly,some people have self respect and don't need to be homophobic. For your information (and I assume you're referring to the Cincinnati exhibit), Mapplethorpe's exhibition included several hundred photos, only 10or20ofwhich were homoerotic. These were in a separate wing and had limited access. If s doubtful anyone who didn't want to see them did. Incidentally, with t he $10-bill project you mentioned, you might have given some credit to one of the artists involved — David Avalos, a professor and program director of CSUSM's Visual and Performing Arts program. Also,fortherecord, that piece received no federal funding. You're right, the arts are important to our society. I'm sure even Jesse Helms agrees with t hat However, although some funding (a fairly large percentage) does comefromthe private sector, the federal government is not only obligated to fund the arts but ifs in the public's best interest that they continue to do so. If you think an educated populace is a good thing, then youH support continued funding. Art is a necessity in our lives. It keeps us motivated, inspired and helps us push the limits.

WRITER Facilities workers must paint, scrub, and sandblast the stucco and granite of the Science Hall Building as a result of last week's vandalism. Using eggs and blue paint, vandals defaced a banner of Che Guevara that hung temporarily from the Science Hall Building on Wednesday, October 6. The eggs and paint splattered against the building's walls, causing unsightly stains on the archway that leads into the building. Scaffolds and yellow tape marked the area as Facilities members grappled mmmm with the problem of removing the stains. For more than a week, Facilities has been trying different cleaning methods to remove the stains, but all to no avail. Today a worker lugged a bottle of Simple Green to the site, hoping that the all-purpose cleaner might fade the blue spots that are now embedded in the granite. According to Patty Holden, Assistant Director of Custodial, Grounds and Transportation, the stucco must be painted, and the See CLEAN-UP pg. 6 Since the last meeting, no clubs had turned in their funding packets.

Pg. 6 members of MEChA in a meeting on Monday, October 11, following the vandalism of a banner of Che Guevara hung by the student group. Gonzalez had been scheduled to give a motivational talk at the meeting prior to the vandalism. However, when the floor was opened for questions, few people had questions about the history of MEChA, and the conversation with the president was re-directed to current events. A Senate-sponsored forum with President Alexander Gonzalez, Vice President of Academic Affairs Richard Karas, and members of the CSUSM faculty was held on Wednesday, October 13. The meeting's focus had much to do with George Diehr's October 10, 1999 article entitled "Cal State San Marcos fat on overhead, thin on professors" and the points that the article had raised. Gonzalez spoke for close to an hour on the university's budget after the meeting began. "We need to trust each other," said Gonzalez* who continued to reiterate similar phrases throughout the forum. Diehr's statement in his "op-ed" piece that "we need a full accounting by an independent auditor of the CSUSM budget, " was the apparent point of contention. Gonzalez's reply to this charge was "my books are open." Gonzalez outlined his budget plan before the meeting was opened for general discussion. The discussion ceniered on the issues of faculty workload and development, and the Retention and Tenure Process (RTP), but also addressed the line item costs of athletics and president's initiatives in the university's budget, as well as the costs related to uncompleted buildings. Faculty questioned the desir- ability of what the campus has to offer. Karas responded, "location, cost, quality and proximity." However, as noted by one faculty member, if CSUSM cannot compete in the national market for new faculty members, educational quality will be compromised. In response to a question regarding opportunities that were missed to defend the university's stance on budget issues through public statements, Gonzalez told faculty "you take it the public, you're going to lose." This was further evinced through statements regarding the notions that airing troubles in public, and the amount of good it would do, would only invite comments to the contrary. Gonzalez made clear that allegations of misuse of funds would only back him into a corner, giving him less room to respond to faculty concerns in a flexible manner. Gonzalez made clear that he has the final say in setting the workload for faculty, in this instance four classes every Fall and Spring semester. He would, however prefer acquiescence, a consensual compromise. Gonzalez also stated that he was not looking into a trimester system for CSUSM but acknowledges that there are some adaptable classes that include accelerated courses. ing banners of a revolutionary characters for the promotion of educational events and celebrations on campus to be guaranteed and not be used as criteria to deny our right to do so by 'facilities' or the appropriate* department which is responsible." from our own. The University should be a place where widely differing views can coexist. I would like to reiterate that we will continue to support diversity in all its forms. We will not condone nor tolerate any breach of behavior or policy that threatens our commitment to an open andfree university environment. Gonzalez Addresses Mechistas In a statement presented at the meeting, the Mechistas outlined their position concerning the incident. Included in the statement is a request that President Gonzalez make "a written statement to the university students, staff and faculty denouncing [the] act as an act of disrespect arid disregard towards Che Guevara, MEChA, Professor Y&nez-Chavez and the Liberal Studies department, and the University itself." The document also observed that the vandalism is "an attack on our (MEChAVthe students') freedom of expression". President Gonzalez responded to the suggestion that the vandalism was directly aimed at the banner of Che Guevara by stating that it could not be determined if it was indeed a targeted act of vandalism. WhenLeticia Luna, MEChA's president inquired "If the banner hadn't have been there, do you think that the blue paint and egg yolk would have been on the buildingv President Gonzalez replied "I don't know." President Gonzalez complied with MEChA's request for a public statement regarding the incident in a memorandum dated October 12. The memo, Students took the opportunity "Freedom of Expression on to question the president about Campus," stated that what would be done about the vandalism of the banner of Che "Last Thursday, a banner of Guevara, and what he would do 'Che Guevara, that was hung in to ensure the rights of students Founders' Plaza as part ofpubto free expression in the future. licity for a Public Forum coIn addition to the vandalism of sponsored by MEChA and the the banner, students and faculty Liberal Studies Department, brought up previous incidents of was defaced.

"As we move into the remainder of the academic year, please join with me in reaffirming these principles that have guided the University's development." Although the president's statement did not denounce the incident as an act of vandalism, it is still a step in the direction of See MEChA pg.7 �2 Monday, October 18, 1999 Dear Editors: I am rather perturbed by the ethical foundations of a new group formation on campus, the Young Americans for Freedom. The group, not a CSUSM or CSI recognized group, professed their stance on freedoms of choice, which is great. The foundations of freedpm of choice, laissezfaire market principles, and the importance of teaching the virtues of Liberty are all critical elements to be upheld and highly revered in America. And the approach towards Liberalization (privatization) of American structures is an ideal that, as a moderate libertarian, I could not help but be pleased at. However, I was profoundly disturbed by other explicit and underlying principles YAF maintains, such as the professed support of "the choice to eradicate Communism Dear Editors: I recently was made aware of the YAF (Young Americans for Freedom) group on campus; I don't know how many people on campus have seen their flyer 'Top 10 Reasons to Join YAF', but when I read this flyer I was outraged and disgusted. Why don't they just list their reasons as: L We're homophobic, 2. We're white supremacists, 3. We're VIP KKK members, 4. We need guns to kill off the minorities and homosexuals, 5. Dear Editors: on campus." The foundation of freedom is rights, and the right to believe in and maintain a sociopolitical stance on Communism is a right, and the suggestion of eradicating it is a direct contradiction to the premises of freedom. Usurping and diminishing the right to belief is not upholding freedom, but killing it. In the same light, denying rights to practice deviant sexuality is tyrannical in its ideology as well, as suggested in their clause of support for "the choice to prosecute gerbilers, pedophiles, transvestites, and other sexual deviants." I wish to express my discontent at the low denominator of angst this group has against fellow students on campus. There is so much potential to promote freedom positively. Jeff Kuebler We support the choice to oppress culture. Join YAF today! Has anyone noticed the web site on the school server without club/ICC recognition (an illegal activity)? Why are they allowed to set up tables and use the school server without any sort of recognition by the university at any level? I along with fellow students, approached Damon Bell of CSI with these concerns, and YAF is conducting these affairs entirely unauthorized. Does this bother anyone else? In regards to the Pride's Monday Sept. 20 issue, in which a cartoon appeared with a caption that read "Excuse me, but it (S & M) stands for San Marcos... This was a cartoon that showed a cougar with a whip posing in a sado-masochistic act. In the Oct. 4 issue, Mike Spangler gave a comical rebuttal that advised the student body that the "S" & "M" of CSUSM stands for "Stair Master." The issue showed a picture of students making their way up yet another set of stairs on campus. I am getting a kick out of the creativity here in regards to the letters "S" and "M." I got to thinking about those letters myself. Personally, I think that "S" and "M" should stand for "Smoking More," as I have observed that an enormous amount of students smoke a hell of a lot of cigarettes, despite all the training they've had over the years about the dangers of tobacco products. California has so many laws against smoking in public places, that it doesn't seem commonplace to see many people smoking anymore. Not so at CSU San Marcos. I would venture to guess that two-thirds of the student population smoke. Being a non-smoker myself, I guess I'm more conscious of those who do. This is not another diatribe about smoker versus non-smoker's rights, it's just an observation. I cannot help but think of a relative of mine who hated smoking all Dear Editors: October 11 was National Coming Out Day. Who knew? Who cared? To perhaps the majority of students here on campus, most any and all events are of no concern, (unless of course there arefreeofferings of food or products to avail our hungry natures).

The fact is that there exists a great inequality between white people here, who in general, benefit from the exploitation of people around the world, and the Mexican, African and Native American people who live in this country. You only need to walk through an African or Mexican community and see the conditions in which we live, and go walk through a suburban community of white people to see the drastic inequality which exists. And you only need to go to the fields where the farmworkers live and work, to see that they are nothing but 20th century, and now 21st century, slave plantations. And it was exactly this inequality between humans that Che gave his life to eliminate. He took up arms because he knew that the rich would not give up their stolen wealth without a fight. He knew that the police and the army only exist to maintain that inequality arid to defend the stolen property of the rich. Yet despite the fact that over the past 30 years, the rich have only gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer, despite the fact that almost every right that we fought for during the civil-rights era has been stripped away, despite the fact that the civil-rights movement has been betrayed, and despite the fact' that the C.I. A. keeps pumping in drugs and guns into Mexican and African communities, some will say that Che's ideas are only the result of the '60's and will forever remain in the '60's. What they are telling us is to not be idealistic. What they are telling us is to stop thinking of how to better our people's conditions. What they are telling us is to stop thinking for ourselves. To stop acting for ourselves. They are telling us that we will always be an exploited people, that we will always be a permanent underclass... And on this day, in the spirit of Che Guevara, of Emiliano Zapata, of Huey Newton and Reyes Tijerina, we will say, 'They can kill a revolutionary, but they can not kill the revolution!

I am vice-president of the American Indian Student Excellence Society (AISES). I've been involved in AISES since Fall '98 and active in the American Indian community in California since 1996. I've developed a cordial relationship with the advisor of our club and the Pow Wow Committee in relation to coordinating activities. The advisor and the Powwow committee are instrumental in educating the general student population about American Indian culture. But in the last couple of months I've been noticing how my relationships with these key players are limiting me, and American Indian students in general, by limiting our participation in educating the campus about our heritage and in developing our leadership capabilities/ This can be best described and exemplified in terms of CSUSM's Annual Pow Wow. I noticed an article in the last issue that delivered a very positive image of the Pow Wow. The article had good intentions in that the spirit of the writer was in a good place and that they gave relevant information about Indian culture and Pow Wow in general, but I recognized that only certain perspectives were represented. This is not enough, more perspectives need to be voiced, expressed and offered to the public awareness. I now will offer an American Indian student's perspective: The relationship between the Pow Wow Committee and AISES has historically been limited. My experience has been that American Indian students can only voice their opinion regarding the organizing of the Pow Wow. But the actual planning and organizing of the Pow Wow has been done by faculty and staff Letter to the Editors: In Defense of Censoring Ourselves only. As Indian students, our role in this "organizing" has been to post flyers, sell T-shirts, sell programs, collect water donations for the Pow Wow staff, and other colorful jobs of this sort. We have never been given the direct participatory role in the actual planning of the Pow Wow. For example, we don't get to decide who the actual participants are such as: the drummers, the MC, etc. Yet this is a significant aspect of our culture and of the Pow Wow organization. OPINION dent involvement in its livelihood. We were also informed that the person who was responsible for the vendor contracts "messed up" and as result we had no truly "exclusive" rights since vendors would also be selling water. As I was doing these things I was treated very badly; treated like a child. I felt very disrespected, patronized, lied to, dismissed, excluded...you name it. In short, I was made to feel less than human. Yet at the end of the Pow Wow, the Pow Wow Committee demanded that Indian students (i.e. representing AISES) be recognized as part of their Committee in an honoring song. An honoring song is given by the Community to give thanks and show gratitude to those organizing and hosting the event. I felt Pow Wow Committee's action was wrong because it was misleading the community into thinking that we were part of hosting, organizing and putting on the Pow Wow, when in reality we weren't. Not only is this inappropriate to ask, it just adds insult to injury being so disrespectful as to demand Indian students to come out and be "honored" for something they were never given the opportunity or honor to do. The Pow Wow committee maintains that there are not enough American Indian students interested in getting involved. During this time I have understood that American Indian student involvement on campus has been minimal, (reflecting both the low numbers of Indian students existing on this campus and the absence of voting power for students in the Pow Wow Committee.) So what we chose to do as students interested in our heritage was to be involved in this special event in what little we were allowed to do by the Committee: we distributed flyers, (two of us brought dessert donations for the Dinner hosted by the President), we sold Pow Wow T-shirts and programs, and I coordinated the water donations I absolutely refused to dance for the Pow Wow staff. In return with the Committee that I felt I for our participation, AISES was was not included in or in any promised a permanent table set way a part of. up and exclusive water rights to sell at the Pow Wow. I am not the first Indian student who has been made to feel The day of the Pow Wow we this way.

We must constantly balance the rights of individuals to they please with the synergy of a strong community establishing and maintaining standards over the course of time. From a sociological perspective, an established set of rules which govern behavior constitutes the backbone of culture and becomes part of the identity of individuals within the group. If we are to achieve a sense of community where all members feel safe, valued, and free to learn we must exercise our rights responsibly. Second, the speech exhibited that day violates the standards to which employees and students are held. If these things had been said by a staff or faculty member to a student or anyone else, that staff or faculty member would be subject to sexual harassment laws and would have been (hopefully) fired for discriminatory language and conduct. I cannot see why a speaker on stage who says " F... you" to a group of students should be defended since a student would Monday, October 18, 1999 3 basic respect to students and student expression. I was outright disappointed in the outcome of our relationship because this was an event that I truly put all my effort and all my heart in. This is supposed to be a community event. It is a cultural event and NOT an administrative function for those with the titles- to make sure everyone knew their name. The Pow Wow isn't supposed to exist to service their big "University image and to give them some more kudos with which to meet their status quo. I had had such optimistic, high hopes but after this experience my view of this relationship has most definitely changed. I've been trying to maintain this relationship at all costs- we still sold the Pow Wow Committee's T-shirts and programs, even though our "exclusive" water rights were sacrificed. These are issues that need to be worked on toward a positive resolution that will benefit students. Indeed, one of these problems between the Pow Wow Committee and Indian students are already being addressed. Bonnie Biggs, Chairperson of the Pow Wow Committee, has promised to give classes to AISES members about the logistics of organizing a Pow Wow. My hope is that AISES will see a commitment in the form of a set date on this so as this becomes one promise that actually becomes reality. Being offered, and afforded the opportunity to learn about how to run a Pow Wow is definitely a good starting point. However, the issue that still remains (and which is never addressed) is the issue of giving voting privilege for AISES as an organization. This would enable students, through a vote as a club, the opportunity to directly participate in the planning and organizing of the Pow Wow. Lastly, it must be understood that all students should be given the dignity o f being treated as adults regardless of our educational level. My hope and vision for the future is that the relationship between Native American students and the Powwow Committee will be more amicable and genuine. Other examples: First of all I am a woman, not a child. I am certain that as a human being I deserve to be treated with the respect due to any human being. Just because we are students and do not yet have the educational degrees and fancy titles that key members of the Pow Wow Committee have does not mean that we do not deserve to be treated with respect. It is not okay to manipulate students to the benefit of individual agendas and images. This is not an Indian way of doing things: I'm an Indian person, this is an Indian event - yet what I saw on that day were a lot of broken promises. I saw the dishonesty of the committee and what Indian students of the past had whispered in warning come true. This was a very bad experience and what is so unfortunate about this situation is that it didn't have to he that way. On a final note, I encourage studeftts to respond to me with their feedback and support. In closing, I hope that the American Indian faculty and staff will support these resolutions, and in the future that they will support Indian students in a more active and diplomatic way.

I am going to be dreadfully busy with midterms this week so I decided to consult with some fellow fairies to answer the questions. They have some good things to share and I hope you enjoy it. See you next week, love, Psyche Fairy Dear Fairy du Jour, I feel like I 'm trapped in emotional slavery. There's someone that I care about, that I love so much, that I would do anything for them. They know this, and never seemed to mind this devotion. I don't mind being taken for granted every now and again, but it seems like recently that they've been overly paranoid and defensive. I'm so scared that I've done something at some time to offend this person or make them subconsciously angry with me. It's almost like the person that I knew, the person whose personality was so unique and intriguing that it made my heart skip a beat when they spoke to me; somehow... went away. Is there something I can do to make them feel better? I've tried everything, .and yes, I tried to leave them alone. For one of the few times in my life, I feel helpless. Please, I hope there's something you can tell me to bring just a little bit of ease to my heart. I've never been so scared in my life... I don't want to lose this person out of my own ignorance. Enamored that they learn to attach to, unhealthy as it is. It may be being transposed on you, very unfortunately, my dear. I know it is entirely much easier said than done, but as a sentient being, you have a right and responsibility and a duty to yourself to protect yourself above the relationship. You are separate from the relationship. I am no means advocating a separation; rather I suggest a probing of the relationship first, and why you would sacrifice yourself and your happiness for someone who is being overtly defensive and selfish in the relationship* My primary advice would be to approach your amour about Why they feel the right to undermine the relationship rather than focus energies on despair and what you did wrong. And if all else fails, get a second job and go shopping with the extra income- who doesn't get cheered up with a new Winter wardrobe (hell, take their card if it makes you feel better!). Best of luck, sweety! To Enamored: My condolences on your sense of forlorn love. You have tried the immediately advisable need-my-space approach to amending the turn in the relationship. Perhaps the person you are enamored with seeks emotional deprivation, whether it was triggered by a side issue/event in their life. Perhaps they have come to appreciate and thrive on your discontent; it happens. Often the world does not work to serve your needs, and people occasionally learn to become vicious- it's a Pavlov-response thing. People snap, and change, and have disgust for life's angst The Fairy du Jour Laughter and Annoyance at Comedy Fest 99 Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF W RITER The ASI staged the first annual CSUSM comedy show on October 12, drawing an estimated crowd of 150 people to the patio outside the dome for what one student government official described as "our best attendance ever" for an ASI event. However, several students complained about the show, for reasons ranging from profanity to obscenity. "I couldn't believe what I was hearing," said student Gloria O'Shea. "It [profanity] is so common now...but it shouldn't be." Student Jessica Ealson added that the" show was PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride "very offensive.

I thought that the comedians were funnier than I'd anticipated, but their routines did include lots of lewd gestures and language. One comic, a Molecular Biology major, told jokes about Road Rage, and gave impersonations of teachers on campus — and the teachers being impersonated were among those in the audience. Another comic's routine included his renditions of sexual vocalizations from different cultures. The audience gathered by the stage enjoyed the performances; laughterfilledthe patio outside the dome.

Once again today, like many times in the last three years, I was faced with choosing between my classes and an eleven-year child who is frequently sick. My child suffers from recurrent migraines, accompanying stomach complaints, and an asthma-like condition, in addition to the normal sore throats and colds that most kids get. I ask myself, why was she so healthy before I started back to school. Why now, at a time in my life where I decide it's my turn to have a life, do so many complications seem to occur? As if a Re-Entry student doesn't already have enough on her/his plate. The guilt in thinking of just 'myself' piles onto an already overcrowded plate; guilt fills anxiety levels to a premium, and does as much damage to the body as daily 1,500 calorie desserts. Nothing undoes me more than choosing between my child and myself. Getting through the math requirements starting from ground zero was bad enough, and I thought nothing, NOTHING, could be as bad as algebra and statistics. I was wrong. We can send people to the moon, but we can't get alternate care for a sick child down here on earth where it really matters. It turns out that there is no place to take a sick child, there is no one who can instantly appear on your doorstep and stay with your child, especially if you're unlucky enough to have your immediate family live 3,000 miles away. I can give only marginal advice to fellow parents. Most professors understand enough to give a student the benefit of the doubt. E-mail your professors, explain the situation, and do the best you can. Even though most syllabi state a mandatory attendance policy, there are times when perfect attendance is not possible. When you have a chronically sick child, it might be smart to consider going to school part time, since parenting is a full time job. Re-think your priorities and your goals and accomplish little chunks at a time. Your child does come first, as parenting is your first job. Even though you are going to school to better yourself, which in the long run benefits your child, you have to keep reasonable expectations. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gone part time. The children need supervision and a parent who is 'all there' both emotionally and physically, But keep in mind that the sooner you finish, the sooner you can get back to normal again. Dragging out your program is worse than finishing quickly in many ways. Whatever you choose, some concessions have to be made. profanity." Monololo added that anyone who wants to contribute to the choice of programming for ASI shows should attend the programming committee meetings, which are open to everyone. They meet every other Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in the Dome, with the next meeting on October 20th. The ASI said that all of the comedians, who were unpaid CSUSM students, were screened prior to the show. But, said AgI President Waleed Delaware, "once they have the microphone, there's really nothing we can do about [the content of the show]." After receiving thefirstcomplaint, Delawari attended the remainder of the show himself. "It was a little racy," he said, "but everyone I talked to enjoyed the show." Delawari acknowledged that he only spoke with people who were gathered around the stage, admitting that people who were offended by the show had probably left. However, he said, you can't please everyone. "If we have 90% satisfaction...I consider that a success." Although the ASI said that they announced before the show that some people might find the material offensive, some students were not aware of what was going on. "I didn't hear any warnings," O'Shea said. Warnings or not, some students felt that the show was inappropriate. "This is my school, I 'm paying to be here, and I don't want to hear it," Ealson said emphatically. ASI Executive Director Darlene Willis said she could see both sides. "If people see something on TV that they find offensive, they can always turn it off," she said. "These people may have felt that they didn't have a choice. But they can always get up and leave." She defended the right of free expression. "I respect freedom of speech," she said. But the students who complained seemed to have concerns other than free speech. "I think we need to set higher standards for ourselves, because we are worthy of higher standards," O'Shea said. Delawari said that ASI would definitely take the students concerns into account. "It's a learning curve," he said. "We may do it differently next time." �i iiliiwii ASI Services The National Latino Research Center: New Research Opportunities For Students Sharon Hambly PRIDE STAFF WRITER Giovanni Ferrer PRIDE STAFF WRITER Giovanni Ferrer PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride PRIDE STAFF WRITER Dr. Soriano was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. At age two his parents came to the U.S. where he grew up in Fontana, CA. He graduated from Fontana H.S., attended UC Riverside, and received his Doctorate in Psychology at the University of Colorado in 1987. Dr. Soriano stated that education has opened up the world for him and that he has always been interested in helping people with their problems. Dr. Soriano is excited about starting the Youth Research Center for all ethnic backgrounds. Students can learn research to better understand the needs of the youth and come up with proposals for solutions to violence and drug abuse. He is also excited about working with "the experts." These are the kids who are either in gangs, or have already been gang affiliated. He said "what the youth need are opportunities. They need a chance to contribute to society, especially the kids with problems at home. They become alienated, less involved with school, and are at a higher risk of joining gangs." He believes that we must make kids more integrated in schools and the community. "I see at-risk kids as dim light bulbs," he exerts. "Waiting to be turned on by caring adults and professionals." law School KQjQIj By the year 2000, it is estimated that Latinos will become the largest minority group in the U.S., according to a 1992 census conducted by the National Council of La Raza. Even though Latinos will make up the largest minority group in the nation, we have little information regarding Latino populations. In the future, Latinos will become a major part of the U.S. work force, therefore information on Latino populations is important. The National Institutes of Health is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They provide funding for innumerable organizations and centers for national research studies in biomedical and behavioral sciences. In 1997 the NIH approved a proposal by Dr. Fernando Soriano to fund research on American Latino populations. The NIH awarded 1 million dollars to open the National Latino Research Center, and, through contacts at SDSU, the National Latino Research Center was launched. After two years, Dr. Soriano moved the center to CSUSrM. CSU San Marcos indicated interest in the center and the level of support was greater than at SDSU. Dr. Soriano was also offered a tenured position here at San Marcos and he now feels like an integral part of the university. He remarked: "I wear two hats, one as the director of the center and as an academician and researcher. I spend half of my time researching and teaching, and the other half as the administrator." He expects the NLRC to grow at CSUSM and research to expand. The NLRC will engage faculty and students at CSUSM to conduct research on Latino populations. The emphasis is on generating research. Dr. Soriano stresses the importance of the research to the U.S. reliance on young Latinos that make up the nation's workforce. "[The research is] a clearing house on Latino populations," he says, "a platform for training to increase the ability of students and researchers to know how best to study the populations." Dr. Soriano expressed a tremendous need for students, faculty, and non-students to get involved with the National Latino Research Center. You do not have to be Latino to become a part of the center. Everyone is welcome. Research assistance positions will be opening in the spring of 2000. They are mostly voluntary but some are paid. Students who participate can receive academic credit, program evaluations, and a skill that has great market value; Training is available to students.

Imani Rupert PRTDF. STAFF W RITER Remember those future promises of a larger, more technologically advanced library during freshman orientation library tours? The end is near! But not until August 2003, to be exact, the date set for the new library's completion. With five floors and almost 200,000 sq. feet, it will be larger than Craven Hall. The main entrance to the new library will be located on the 3rd floor (on the same level as with a plaza that overlooks the campus. Book stacks will be located on the 4th and 5th floors. These two floors include desks, tables, and lounge chairs for studying. The 4** floor will house the academic journals, periodicals, microfilm and microfiche. The 5th floor will house the Spanish books and curriculum books to support the College of "University Hall"). This floor will hold new, reserve, and Inter Library Loan books, as well as new electronic products. It will also hold reference books, government documents, and the "information literacy program." (This program is designed for professors who have "library days" to help their students utilize all of the library's resources for class projects). This floor will also have access to a cafeteria 1 Education. A special room will be dedicated to these two types of books and may eventually host a "story time" for children. The 2nd floor will contain the most technologically advanced teaching aids offered at our school as part of the Media Library. The Media Library will expand to include a one hundredseat computer lab that stays open longer than the library. The lab will include "listening rooms" in which groups can view videos, listen to tapes or CD's, or compose multimedia projects. The 1st floor will be comprised of library staff offices such as cataloging, systems, and the resource consultation office. There will also be some classroom space available on this floor. CLEAN-UP cont. frompg. l granite will probably need sandblasting or other powerful water cleaning methods to remove the stains. Though it would be less costly to paint the granite, that is not the best solution. "Paint would ruin the look of the granite," says Holden, who also isn't sure that even sandblasting will remove the blue paint. She says that fading the spots may be all that can be hoped for. Facilities is currently taking bids from painting companies. Within days, an expected cost estimate will determine the work needed to restore the stucco. The university painting budget will cover the cost of the work, unless the vandals are caught and prosecuted. Holden hopes that the ones who caused the damage will be the ones who pay for the clean up. Dial Up" is G reat... W hen it Works Adra Halford PRIDE STAFF W RITER CSUSM Computing and Telecommunications revamped their Dial-Up Service in order to keep up with ever-improving technology, as some students and faculty found out when they tried to connect their computers to the campus modem pool. The C&T Help Desk set service records during the first week of the new service, though calls have slowed considerably since. With midterms approaching, the demand for online resources will once again increase. Students who have not used the free dial-up service this semester should be aware of new hardware and software requirements necessary to access the service. Students who already have an Internet Service Provider may still want to access the Internet through campus Dial-up because this allows them access to research oriented databases like Ideal, EBSCOHOst, ERIC, and First Search. These can be found at: http://www.csusm.edu/library/e databases.htm. It is almost as good as going into the library. Researching from home has the added benefit of nearly free printing, rather than 15 cents per page. The new campus modems support 56K connections, meaning faster connections and less waiting for pages to download once the user is connected. That is where the trouble begins. According to Carlos Archiniega, who identifies himself as "the Help Desk Guy", as midterms approach students should be prepared to hear busy signals and be persistent. The campus now has four types of dial-up accounts, each with its own pay structure and amount of access time. For students and faculty the service is free. Students should keep track of their usage and be thrifty with their online time as they are only allowed 5 hours during peak usage days. Their time is unlimited from Friday at noon to Sunday at midnight. Guests are allowed 14 hours per week, for which they pay $80.00 per year. There is also a paying student line for MBA students and Evers students. Students should also consider avoiding the high traffic times from 4 pm to 8 pm, Monday through Thursday evenings. Unlike the computers in the lab where a student can call a lab monitor to help if things are not going smoothly, students sometimes feel lost in the maze of technical jargon when they have to be responsible for updating their own computers. Dial-Up Services has tried to ease the pain by providing detailed instructions. Students can access the website for some information at: http://www.csusm.edu/helpdesk/dialup Detailed instructions for dial up service can be obtained at the main computer lab located in ACD 202 or by visiting the Help Desk in Craven Hall 2302.

Cahill PRIDE EDITOR In the fall of 1996, a white CSUSM student repeatedly called an African-American instructor a "black bitch,"and local newspapers were quick to blame CSUSM's motto of "achieving excellence through diversity" for the whole problem. According to media, this response was "Out of Proportion." The campus administration continued to emphasize that this was an "isolated incident," while students who aligned themselves with the faculty member received bomb threats at their apartment building and had threatening notes left on their vehicles. The "isolated incident" was further accompanied by hate flyers portraying ugly caricatures of members of different ethnicities; these were strewn liberally across campus and parking lots. A group of students formed to counterbalance the disinforma- tion about "isolated incidents," and offset the political maneuvering on the part of just about every official constituency at the university. This group, including members of El Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, Pan African Student Alliance, American Indian Student Excellence Society, and other concerned students, had a simple goal: to have a day on campus on which the campus community would come together to stand against the "reign of terror." A day devoted to standing up for the CSUSM mission statement. It was decided that on October 21 these students would make their stand against the atrocities that were occurring on campus. This resolve led to an event, the likes of which had never happened before, and unfortunately, has never happened since at CSUSM—this despite administrative promises to give the day a prominent place in CSUSM's future calendar. Led by student resolve, the campus came together, turning what was initially to be a student walkout into a campus-wide teach-in. Students, faculty, staff and administrators all worked . together for a common cause: to stand up for the mission statement and stand against racism. It was a day of speakers, workshops, musical events, poetry and food. It was promised then that the event would be commemorated each semester with a celebration of the mission statement. To their credit, the institution did hold a somewhat lesser event the following spring on April 21. The following year, students planned events for the occasion, but approval was revoked. Since that time, little has been done on campus in commemoration of the day. I have often pondered the reasons why the commemoration has not taken place since that first year. Perhaps it is because the mission statement, which evoked such a spirit of unity on the campus th^t first day, has been changed. Perhaps it is because, with its shrinking population of Black faculty, CSUSM has become a less interesting target for neo-Nazi skinheads, so we really don't need a mission statement which emphasizes such things as race, class, and gender, or "respect and decency." Perhaps it is that there are no incidents of any sort of bias at CSUSM anymore because the entirety of the student population has become miraculously enlightened through the hard work of the remaining faculty who do emphasize race, class and gender, so we really have no need to emphasize such things anymore; it is preaching to the Swansea, Wales CSUSM Adrienne R.Lopez clear communication on the campus.

Gonzalez also spoke about Latino enrollment in the California State University system and the University of California system. Gonzalez noted the importance of MEChA's political activism as vital to Latino students in higher education and concluded his talk by encouraging students to pursue degrees beyond a bachelor's. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT LAW SCHOOL? ? CALIFORNIA WESTERN SCHOOL OF LAW -Accredited by the American Bar Association (1962) -Member, American Association of Law Schools (1967) Educating Creative Problem Solvers London, England Lisa Morgan I have not yet been in England for three full weeks and it is already the choir. Or perhaps it's just that no one cares. Yet as I look out at CSUSM today I must wonder if we've really come so far as to not need such things emphasized on campus. True, there are no death threats against faculty today, but vandalism of posters celebrating Latino figures might in some circles pass as racist acts. It's true, there are fewer swastikas scrawled around campus these days. They have instead been replaced with YAF flyers supporting the freedom to prosecute "sexual deviants" and communists. (California's YAF website declares that multi-cultural centers are communist endeavors). As I look out across campus today I wonder if CSUSM will ever come together again in celebration of what was once our mission.

As someone who had hardly been out of the country, moving 8000 miles away presented many shocks and adjustments, no matter how much advice had been offered to me. Traveling on my own was exciting and terrifying, especially in a big city like London. I came to the university at somewhat of a disadvantage because this is thefirstyear that San Marcos has dealt with this school. This has caused several problems with housing and credit transfers. The flip side to this situation is that everybody who comes here after me won't have to be first, and these problems will hopefully be straightened out. One thing I have learned is that culture shock comes in all shapes and sizes. I was more surprised to see the similarities between England and America than I was to see the differences. They have the same music, the same clothes, the same problems as American students. The parts that have been difficult to adapt to are the unpredictable weather, the traffic, the local, accents, and the FOOD! I have never seen so much mayonnaise in my entire life! If those are the bad things about England, the best thing is the people. Going to a universityfivetimes the size of CSUSM, I have had wonderful opportunities to meet new people. The locals tend to be straightforward and very willing to give advice to foreigners. Also, the other international students here have taught me so much about the world that I never could have learned from a book. Adjusting to a new place comes in phases, shock, homesickness, and acceptance. I still miss "Ally McBeal" and American peanut butter, but every day I learn a little bit more to live without them. I have no doubt that my adventure will turn me into a different person without forgetting what a good thing I have back home. �CSU SAN MARCOS CALENDAR OF EVENTS "Using Verb Tenses Effectively" Noon - 1:00pm.

Elise highlights how the faces of Hurricane Katrina victims are overwhelmingly black, with In an effort to promote extra-curricular engagement in the students of Cal State San Marcos, the Associated Students, Inc. began the process of implementing a University Hour. A University Hour is defined as a time during the week, usually one to two hours, during which no classes are scheduled for undergraduates. This would provide a common time for student organizations to meet, extracurricular events to occur and for study groups to convene. "University Hour, which will strengthen our students' college experience, will also serve the Cal State San Marcos Mission by empowering students to be active participants in building a community through co-curricular engagement while promoting Cal State San Marcos Core Values," said Marc DeGuzman, ASI president and chief executive officer. The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) results indicate that Cal State San Marcos students cite lack of co-curricular engagement as a main reason for leaving our campus. University Hour will allow Cal State San Marcos to actively address our low retention rates by providing opportunities for the entire campus community to engage all students in co-curricular programming.

Blaming Victims Misconceptions about alcohol on campus Cal StatefSan Marcos is not a fdiy campus BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Recent news articles published in The Pride newspaper have given the impression that Cal State San Marcos is a 'dry campus' prohibiting the consumption of alcohol on the campus property. Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard felt this misconception about campus policy needed to be rectified. "Any and all locations, with the exception of classrooms, could be reserved for events where alcohol could be drunk," said Poullard. Cal State San Marcos' policies deem that San Marcos is not a dry campus, contrary to popular student belief. Without a bar or liquor sales on campus, CSUSM may give the appearance of being a dry campus. Students may recall the recent Oktoberfest event that served root beer at the celebratory gathering, or the Jazzfest event that promoted safe-drinking offering mocktails instead of cocktails. However, policy allows for alcohol to be served in the form of beer and wine on campus. By filling out the correct forms students, faculty and staff can obtain permission to serve and consume alcohol on campus. This form, known as the Alcohol Approval Request Form, gives cougars the opportunity to submit requests for alcohol approval. "There are several campus entities that a group or individual must secure authorization from" said Poullard. These authorizations are in compliance with school policies set up for the safety of students. The University Police is not only required to sign off on the alcohol use form, but the police are usually required at any alcohol related events. Individuals are also allowed to submit a request for alcohol on campus as well, however most commonly the request is made by student organizations in compliance with the policy. "The most typical places for student initiated events where alcohol is served is in the Clarke Field House, but events are not limited to this venue," said Poullard.

Associate Professor of Sociology, Dr. Sharon Elise said, "as a faculty member, I also note that University Hour will enhance students' ability to get together with their classmates for study groups, for group projects and even for something as simple as a cup of coffee with a classmate." CSU Los Angeles, CSU Monterey Bay and CS Polytechnic University Pomona are the three CSU campuses that have a University Hour in place. Additionally, Mira Costa College, one of our local educational partners, also has a University Hour. ASI has received positive feedback of having a University Hour. History Professor Patricia Seleski, Ph.D said, "I agree that building community is an important priority for the campus but I donrt think we think creatively enough about how you can do that on a commuter campus. We tend to take 'solutions' that work well for small, residential liberal arts colleges (partly because so many faculty and student services types come from this background) where most students are of traditional age and don't work more than 20 hours a week, if or older weighing at least 110 pounds are welcome to donate. However, the San Diego Blood Bank does have donor restrictions. Medical conditions, certain medications, travel in selected areas, exposure to Hepatitis, recent tattoos or cold/ flu-like symptoms may prevent potential donors from participating in the blood drive. Participants should be prepared to answer a brief medical history questionnaire and communicate with nurses about eligibility. "Hospital patients depend on blood donations every three seconds ... it saves lives," said Walter-Brown. Donations are most often used in auto accidents, heart surgeries, organ transplants, bone marrow treatments and third degree burn victims. The San Diego Blood Bank encourages students to start donating at a young age, since young adults are typically in ideal healthy and bounce back better after donations. Many of San Diego Blood Bank's active donors are in their late 70s and 80s and are becoming ineligible to donate do to health restrictions and illness, said WalterBrown. All donors will receive a free "Go Give" t-shirt, a voucher for a free oil change courtesy of Evans Tire and Service Centers and a discounted round of golf at Pala that, and insist that these same solutions ought to work at a campus like CSUSM where the student profile is much different. We do this rather than saying 'well, maybe the sense of community here has to be created in a different way because of who our students are and what their lives are really like ~ so how do we do that?'" Academic Senate originally denied the ASI proposal for a University Hour on May 4, 2005 for several reasons, which included concerns over the impact on 4unit courses, especially in the afternoon and evening and demonstration of the effectiveness of University Hour. The Associated Students Inc. Board of Directors recently had a new proposal that a University Hour be implemented between the hours of 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, to be implemented in the Academic Schedule in Fall 2006. ASI recognizes that certain courses and degree programs do not lend themselves to University Hour scheduling. Post-Baccalaureate classes, Teacher Credential Programs and courses or labs three hours or more in length will be exempted from the University Hour. "We tend to assume that just because students don't stay on campus and participate in things it is because they don't feel a sense of belonging at CSUSM and we don't often enough consider that many students don't participate because they can't ~ in fact, it's all they can do to squeeze the time out to take classes, study and get their degree," said Seleski. ASI developed and administered a student survey in Fall 2004, The survey data indicated that the majority of survey respondents believe that the creation of a 'University Hour' would benefit the campus. "But, while I laud the goal of University Hour, I don't think the reasons for doing it are more compelling than the needs of students to graduate on a schedule (and at a final cost of both dollars and 'years') more or less of their choosing. I think University Hour will cause problems for more students that it will help. And in the end, I'm not willing to do that to students — especially in the absence of any hard data that demonstrates that University Hour will improve community life on campus," said Seleski. The next Academic Senate meeting will be voting on the proposed University Hour on Nov. 2. For more information on the University Hour please see the ASI website at: http://www. csusm.edu/asi. classi should not be construed as the endorsement or investigation of Mesa Resort in Fallbrook. Walter-Brown added that all donors should bring a photo ID, relax, and know that donating is easy. Those interested in donating are encouraged to drink plenty of fluids and eat a good meal within 4 hours before donating and be well-rested to prevent fatigue. Donations typically average one hour to fill out necessary forms, conduct a medical screening, give blood donation and relax for at least 15 minutes enjoying snacks and refreshments. Appointments can be made by contacting Tanja at schro005@csusm. edu and walk-ins are welcomed to donate. DRY CAMPUS, from page 1 formal action has ever been taken by students, faculty, staff or administrators in the development," Poullard stated. The main purpose for authorization of any alcohol on campus is safety. Safety is a key issue at hand when dealing with an alcohol related matter on campus. Poullard noted that safety is "a huge role" in deciding approval. All alcohol events require ID verification, police presence, a request at least fourweeks prior to event, all distribution of alcohol must be handled by a licensed caterer approved by CSU Foundation, organization must maintain general liability insurance, no kegs or bulk containers are permitted, food and non-alcoholic beverages are required to be served if alcohol is available and organization is responsible for any facility damages and cleanliness following the event.

Elise points out that historically society tends to point the finger at the victim. Implications questioning why people didn't evacuate suggest that these individual lack intelligence, although many people with this view fail to acknowledge that over 20 percentage of New Orleans residents do not have access to a car nor the monetary resources to pick-up and leave. Much like the real-estate property values in San Diego, altitude is positively correlated with high-end homes that are primarily white, Elise commented. New Orleans has a similar situation; the "least affected areas were white areas" because higher altitudes were not subjected to mass flooding. "Blacks are being treated as criminals, not as victims fleeing a natural disaster" said Elise in response to the racial news-reporting suggesting that blacks 'loot' and whites 'find' supplies for survival. "We are not afraid to call it what it is: institutionalized racism despite the white hegemony of discourse" Elise argued. Elise suggests that there are two possible reasons to explain this racial disparity: either something is wrong with black people or something is being done wrong to black people. But racism isn't isolated in New Orleans. Elise warns attendees of a grim correlation: "the blacker (something) gets, the less funding it receives." Elise urges our students and faculty to acknowledge the "black face of poverty, the black face of death row, the black face of unemployment and the white face of the White House." BY BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN & AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writers University Police offer escort services to promote safety at Cal State San Marcos and around the surrounding community by providing police-assisted rides to and from campus buildings, parking lots and immediately adjacent areas of the campus. The escort service has been offered at Cal State San Marcos since the University Police Department has been on campus, but with increased living accommodations on and around campus the police are boosting up the circulation of information on department services to ensure that our campus is a safe environment. Escort services are available to students, faculty, staff and guests to CSUSM. While the service focuses on after-hour safety, escorts are available from dawn to dusk, all hours of the day, as an additional safety measure. "It's 24-7 and most people don't realize that," said Officer Herman Hernandez about the escort service. "The police department is 24 hours." Anyone can take advantage of this service regardless of the reason or absence of immediate threat. Many academic classes are held in the late evening and with day-light savings time around the corner, it will be getting darker sooner. Police will escort and accompany students to their car, dorm, bus stops and even the Prominence Apartments, located behind the paved student parking lots. Students may also request an escort if their having problems or being harassed by another person on campus. Regardless of the reason, to arrange an escort call (760) 750-4567 and a Community Service Officer will escort you by car, bicycle or on foot to a campus facility, parking lot or immediate local residence. The University Police are expanding their dedication to campus safety by offering the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshop to female students scheduled on Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 26 from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Grand Salon of the Clarke Field House. The RAD program is sponsored by the University Police and ASI. The three-hour training provides female students with self-defense techniques and maneuvers, and presents information on awareness, rape-prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance. The workshop is $20 and includes free lifetime admission to RAD sessions to enhance skills or take refresher courses. To enroll in a workshop, contact Officer Carla Kuamoo, the University Police Department's certified RAD Instructor at (760) 750-4567. What if I'm History Repeats Itself Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca approached racism through a historical lens and focused on how policies formulate racial categories to assert blame to the victim. Comparing the Irish potato famine with Hurricane Katrina, Avalos-C'DeBaca argues that both governments blamed the disaster and circumstances on natural causes. However, Avalos-C'DeBaca contends that both governments fail to take responsibility in their role of worsening the tragedy. British elites were quoted that the potato famine would serve as a cleansing of society arguing that 'survival of the fittest' justified lose of life. And after Hurricane Katrina, former First Lady Barbara Bush was quoted that the relief efforts were good enough for the 'underprivileged.' "How will we remember Hurri- prean cane Katrina in two, five, ten or 100 years?" Avalos-C'DeBaca said. With the media shaping our collective popular memory of Hurricane Katrina, we need to continue conversations and analyze the role of racial policies and attitudes that will form our recollection of this moment in our history. "Theories do not save people; action saves people. Take the risk of speaking out," said Avalos-C'DeBaca. Allowing the media to mold our own interpretations of the events and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will prevent our society from recognizing the social-politics that oppress and blame the victims. White Racism Still Exists Dr. Dreama Moon took the foundation of Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca's argument and expanded the context advocating attendees to "keep an eye on the traditional mainstream story and who gets to tell it." Much knowledge can be acquired through recognizing who tells the, story. Dr. Moon compiled exerts taken from the American Renaissance, a monthly magazine available online, with conservative white racial views. Moon utilized the exerts to demonstrate to students and faculty the hatred and hate speech directed to the black victims of Hurricane Katrina. One view shared from American Renaissance exclaimed "got a nigger shortage in your town - don't worry they got a bus load of niggers coming to your town." Other exerts encouraged white-only aid expressing some whites wanting to "help (their) people, but the muds and spies be damned." Moon encouraged attendees to be aware of the deep racism that exists in our society, arguing that knowledge is necessary to deconstruct the inequity that marginalizes noliwhites. Open Discussion Open to questions, comments and personal experiences, students, faculty and guests discussed the prevalence of racism at Cal State San Marcos and the walls that prevent communication about these issues. The panelists encouraged attendees to engage in dialogue on poverty, race, gender and politics. Several students shared their frustrations, grievances and experiences on race. Sociology student, Lisa W. expressed her feelings of racism on campus. "It's the students I'm disappointed with, not my professors," Lori said. "A great-white walk out" occurred according to one audience member. She felt that white students left when racism got too real for them, when she observed over 20 people leave the forum during Dr. Moon's lecture dis- cussing white-racial views towards blacks. "But many stayed. I can only focus on those that show up and stay," responded Moon. "For white students there's a d ifferent cost for racial consciousness; (they) are likely to be ostracized by the white community. White people can be ruthless and they can be r uthless to their own," explained Moon. Avalos-C'DeBaca pleaded with students not to get discouraged in trying to open communication on race. "If you believe you can't change the world, you've been conned. It takes courage to hope," Avalos-C'DeBaca said. "We don't have time to be hopeless," Moon added. An audience member commented, "we're in college now and this is where we learn how tofight.That is what I've learned." TESTING p p yoo suspect your teen is a basing d rags or alcohol?

There is an "abundance of wildlife" here at Cal State San Marcos said Steve Waiters, the Assistant Director of Operations. Aside from the preponderance of rabbits that cover the lawns in the early morning around campus, there is a large array of other wildlife also calling the acreage surrounding CSUSM home. Roadrunners, for example, can be seen mornings making their way along the outskirts of campus, as can coyotes, which can be observed around campus in the morning and evening. "At one time there used to be a herd of deer," said Waiters referring to a small enclave of about 6 or 7 of these large creatures living nearby. Although the herd has not been spotted for sometime, occasional pairs of deer can still be seen with the proper timing. One of the shrubs originally selected by gardeners to be planted on campus even attracted a few of the deer onto the campus itself. Yet the shrub has since ceased being planted as the deer were feeding on them as soon as they were placed in the ground. As for the namesake of CSUSM, the cougar, or mountain lion, this increasing rare Californian is not a frequent sight near the campus. Although mountain lions have occasionally been seen in nearby communities, complaints from fearful residents and rapid urbanization have pushed this endangered cat away from its native territory. Still, many species of wildlife have held on, for now, to the territory they call home. The animals "just have to know when to come out and not be heard," said Watters. Yet as the campus continues to grow it is likely that the sightings of wildlife near campus will probably decline over time. As for now though, the army of squirrels that often line the walkway from the dirt lot in the late afternoon, like many creatures on the fringes of CSUSM, are happy to stay right where they are.

"History 'gives' the present we have to struggle with (and sometimes against) every day." According to Seleski, view. ing the Middle East, or any other current events issue, through a historical lens tends to complicate matters as many stay loyal to the historical memory they've learned, even though that memory may not be accurate. The history department believes that increasing people's knowledge of historical situations will enable them to figure out new solutions to past and current conflicts. "Understanding the past isn't just about 'nursing old wounds', it can also be about finding commonalities and finding ways of reconciliation." Seleski assures students that the history department does not have an agenda, nor is it trying to enforce any particular view on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The history department is mainly offering students, faculty, and the public an opportunity to hear different views on Middle East peace issues from various speakers who have different relationships to the issues as way of encouraging dialogue within the community. Those involved are also aware that these issues might be a sensitive topic to some due to its political aspect and in light of the political dissention currently occurring in the United States.

Either way, I was absolutely mesmerized by the talented pilots who strutted their stuff high in the sky today at the Miramar Air show in San Diego, Calif. The Miramar Air show celebrated its 50th anniversary this weekend along with an estimated 700,000 people. Spectators of all ages and backgrounds flocked from around the country to catch a glimpse of the F-22 fly-by, Patriots jet team, or the unbelievable Blue Angels. Along with incredible air shows were the 100 or more aircraft on display, including planes from World War II, Vietnam, and aircraft still in use today. I was at the event from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. and can honestly say there was not a dull moment. I have never been big into military type stuff but today I found myself lost in military heaven. I was eager to learn about the array of amazing aircraft and found myself in a trance gazing at the planes moving faster than the speed of sound, defying gravity. I was almost brought to tears, or maybe that was just the effects of staring into the sun for a couple of hours. Neither words nor my photos can do these extremely talented pilots justice. I just know, attending this event has reminded me of what an inspiring country we live in and has given me the sudden urge to travel in a plane at 600 to 700 miles per hour. I would hitch a ride in one of those any day! Photos by Shannon Shureman / The Pride Above: Blue Angels roar above the crowd. Right: Navy jet soars above the clouds. Blue Angels, these guys are my heroes! The Blue Angels have been in flight since the 1940's continually advancing their aircraft to be faster and more precise. The team consists of six of the most highly trained pilots in the country. The commanding officer of the team is required to have 3,000 hours of tactical jetflighthours and flies the number one jet. The other five members are required 1,200 tactical jet flight hours and man jets two thru six. Since 1946 The Blue Angels have flown for over 393 million fans.

ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer With the regional competition right around the corner, both the men's and women's cross country teams are working hard to keep up their top 10 rank. The regional competition is to be held in Fresno on November fifth. This day will ultimately determine which teams within the region will then move on to Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky just a few weeks later. The cross country team is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). This allows the team to go up against several divisions of athletes and more importantly the best competition. According to head coach Steve Scott, "With better competition our teams will get pulled to faster times." The men and women compete at several invitationals and following each meet they are ranked according to their times. The cougars have had four meets so far and as of last week the men's team is ranked eight and the women's team is ranked sixth. At the regional competition the first place team moves on to nationals along with the top 20 teams according to their rank following the meet. With both teams already ranking within the top 10, they are confident that nationals will be Jock talk with Josh in their near future. At the nationals competition the top four teams place out of 27 that qualified. Steve Scott commented, "Talent wise I think both teams have the ability to place at nationals." According to Steve the real trick is being able to have all your athletes run their best race all in the same day. It's about being prepared mentally and physically and experience always helps ease the nerves. Steve explained, "We have the potential and that's all you can hope for when going into a national meet."

Pugh comes to CSUSM from Mission Bay high school, where he has spent 26 years in varying positions such as head baseball coach, head football coach, and athletic director. I am particularly thrilled about the hiring of Dennis Pugh, not only because he brings an established presence to a new program, but because I know what kind of person he is. Over the past two years while I have been writing for the San Diego Union-Tribune I have covered Mission Bay football a couple of times. In fact, one of the first football games I ever covered was a Mission Bay game. Mission Bay lost that day 20-19 Take current CSUSM student Fernando Brown who played football at Mission Bay for Pugh, "It's going to be like Charlie Weiss going to Notre Dame." Commented Brown on the impact that he thinks Pugh will have here at CSUSM. Milo and Pugh will both be working part time this semester as they begin the transition from their current jobs to recruiting and building the new programs at CSUSM. Once again, I commend Athletic Director, Dr. Nichols, and the University for selecting two well deserving coaches to lead CSUSM into new territory.

The plots and storylines of shows such as Survivor and The Amazing Race rival the ones put out by the morning soaps. Even reality shows with no focus on competition, such as Extreme Makeover- Home Edition, have no basis in reality. I've not met ANYONE personally who had Shea Homes show up one day and decide to give them a new house full of all the coolest new Sears appliances. I used to think gossip was the link between all of these shows. When Johnny Fairplay lied about his grandmother's death to other Survivor's, he instantly became the contestant America loved to hate, and then talk about for weeks. Reality shows started as water cooler shows. I've found in my own work life, few sitcom discussions. Rarely does someone ask if I've seen the latest episode of Law and Order and yet many friends and cowork- ers love to gossip about the newest argument to erupt on a Swedish hillside on The Amazing Race, albeit in more hushed tones these days. These competitive shows, such as Big Brother, that often involve some sort of "on-screen" romance draw viewers in. As if we were all in High School again watching a couple break-up in the hallway; we like talking about it. There is something very realistic about the way we REACT to these shows, even if they are completely staged. So, if it is gossip driving the competitive shows, then why does a non-competitive show, like Home Makeover strike a chord? Ironically, it's because it IS providing an escape from reality . The "dream shows," enable us to imagine that we too could have that new 7 bedroom, 6 bath house complete with a recording studio for the 13 year old son and brand new Expedition in the driveway. IF our personal struggle is sad enough to win the network's attention, that is. Gone are the days where your life's suffering meant a SUBS P reschool s ubstitutes, a ids, a nd t eachers.

Instant, earthly rewards!! It gives you a reason not only to root for the underdog, but to want to BE the underdog. But, as the old saying goes, it only takes one bad apple to rot the whole barrel and for those of us dedicated Make-Over and Race fans that've been around since the beginning, we're the new lepers, "reality TV people." The very term "reality TV" suggests your viewing standards are sub-par. With mindless and degrading shows such as "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire Midget," and "I Want to be a Hilton," programming itself has been degraded and I'm even ashamed to be included in the reality TV watching demographic because everyone assumes each show is like the worst show out there. I feel the pain of soap opera fans everywhere. The folks I see who have followed Luke and Laura and don't want to admit it out loud. Yes, Reality TV watchers have been thrown down to the floor as well - and so unhappily. It wasn't always this way and perhaps that is why it stings. People assume I'm unable to discern quality from crap. Half the time I don't even defend reality TV anymore, I'm too embarrassed. Art is subjective, I want to yell. But, reality TV is not art, I remind myself. So, privately I watch The Amazing Race and publicly talk about that other great CBS show, CSI - because that stuff totally happens in real life!

I went to Albertson's with the sole intention of using their "Coinstar'V Then I saw the pumpkin people. Someone digs out the stem of this natural fruit and shoves artificial hair into it, They paint on a facial expression, and give it a tag with a common human name to finish off the transformation. The pumpkin person I found had face-planted into the other gourds. Its 'teeth' were chipped as a result of this and it only had half a lip left. It had grey 'hair' and the name 'Jack'. The tag actually said 'Hello, my name is Jack. I love risky adventure! I'm clever, spunky, and always on the go go go! Let's rock and roll!' I looked at it and realized that no normal person would ever buy this pumpkin, now that the tumble had made it defective. As I stared at the chunks of humanness missing from Jack's 'face', I felt the sudden realization that there was justice in the world after all. Jack wasn't ugly or defective. He was simply fighting against mankind's tendency to infringe upon nature. He was screaming 'I'm not going to stand for being dolled up like I have a freaking vagina! I'm a pumpkin for god's sake!' And so I bought him. F REE F IVE 3J9Days1 CYSTIC TANS « F IVE n |U n ^ irni ted ^ K M BX 9R IN*.

This article, written by Christine Vaughan, was hardly a true news story but rather an editorial. As such, is should have been located in the Opinion section of the newspaper. The author states as fact the conspiratorial speculations of activist professors. As scary as it is that such non-academics are actually paid by the tax-payer to peddle such ridiculous theory and ideology, it is even more disturbing that their rants are conveyed as fact to the student body. For example, the lead in to the article states "The forum focused on the ongoing racial discrimination, 'hyper-segregation', institutionalized class inequity and I have a problem with an article how Katrina is being considered a man-made disaster." A more honest article would have made it abundantly clear how such beliefs are rather the opinion of a very, very small minority ("minority" referring to segment of the population smaller than 50%... not a person's ethnicity) who have little non-biased data to support their theories. The "Blaming the Victims" section reeks of propaganda and is an obvious attempt to shape the beliefs of an impressionable student body rather than to report facts. A fact is that Dr. Elise made certain assertions—not that those assertions are facts. The article continues to supposedly deal with the issue of racism in the United States. However, the only fact that it seemed to accurately portray is that certain professors at CSUSM, who make their livelihood off peddling the perception that white racism is the cause of all problems associated with non-white communities, are ardent and devout racists themselves. For instance, in the "White Racism Still Exists" section of the article, Dr. Moon is quoted as saying, "For white students there's a different cost for racial consciousness; (they) are likely to be ostracized by the white community. White people can be ruthless and they can be ruthless to their own." This statement, if reported accurately, is demonstrative of the foul stench of racism that is emitted from certain faculty members at CSUSM. Dr. Moon obviously has engaged in an blatant over-generalization about "white people"—a generalization that is hardly rooted in fact. Instead, this generalization is obviously, to even the most untrained observer, an ignorant attempt to attribute one person's biased views to an entire population. The article reports that numerous white members of the audience got up and left during the discussion, and then continues by quoting a student who attributes the mass exodus to the student's inability to deal with what is considered "real" about racism. Could it be, however, that white students left because of the antiwhite bias that was obviously at the heart of the discussion? Rather than seeking to get to the root ofthe problem (the "problem" referring to the disproportionate number of African-American citizens who were affected by Hurricane Katrina), the professors were merely there to advocate an extreme, negative and order-line anarchistic approach to dealing with issues that have an alleged racial component. The reader need only refer to the final line of the article: An audience member commented, "we're in college now and this is where we learn to fight. That is what I've learned." Additionally, I find it interesting that Dr. Moon chose the "American Renaissance" as an example of the hatred put forth towards African-American victims of Hurricane Katrina. Being a strong conservative myself, and reading and writing quite often about a number of issues related to race, policy, and government, I found it interesting that an obscure, racist publication such as the "American Renaissance" was being used to portray the beliefs of white people. As a matter of fact, I had never even heard of the "American Renaissance" prior to it being mentioned in the article. Perhaps it is because I do not frequent racist websites...websites where some professors from CSUSM obviously go to get their "facts" on white America. The fact that this online magazine was referred to as a magazine of "conservative white racial views", while technically correct (according to American Renaissance's own descrip- » tion of itself), is hardly accurate in depicting the general c onsent sus beliefs of white conservative Americans. Perhaps this is yet another fine example of professors coming to conclusions and then seeking out facts to meet their pre-conceived-« notions. I would appreciate it if the editorial staff would take greater care in the future to make sure that facts are reported as facts, and ideas, theories, or specula-* tion be reported appropriately. For instance, perhaps when the author reports that Dr. Sharon Elise reports "statistical facts and public misconceptions" she could provide examples of those facts. I would be very interested to see where those "statistics" originate from. Thank you for your time. I look forward to reading a more professional version of The Pride ' in the coming months. Perhaps next month you could take the same exact story and re-print it with all of the races flipped. White would become black and black or African-Amer- * ican would become white. Then read the article again and tell me if it passes the "there's a racist in our midst" smell test.

Later, it is found that the four founders, Castle, Williams, Wayne and Malone of Antonio Island pillaged and murdered the inhabitants of the island with a stale deal. Elizabeth, along with many others, is killed and seeks later revenge on the family members of the founders. A fog comes to the island with seemingly unnatural patterns and carries the pledge, "Blood for Blood." During the movie's latter part, family members Of the founders are systemically killed. The fog finally lifts when Tom Malone is killed for this great-grandfather's treachery with Elizabeth becoming a part of the fog. Wainwright unfortunately uses special effects in place of dialog and story. Much of the action is indeed scary but that is only because of loud music and knocking. Many in the audience were laughing about some of the socalled scary moments. Much of the dialog comes across flat and ridiculous with little or no feeling and inflection. A great movie enables the audience to become emotional involved with the actors and action. In this movie however the audience has a profound detachment from the action as if it was a silly and unimportant event. Not to mention that some special effects looked a little too unreal and one knew it was a special effect or a poor planned one. While some effects looked poorly planned, other special effects looked realistic and held extraordinary power. The audience seemed disappointed with the lack of concrete story, dialogue, and audience empathy, though some of the special effects dazzled the eyes. The Fog was almost a complete disappointment but it did have its redeeming value.

Koenig Cal State San Marcos is on a mission of global proportions — to teach students how to live in a world community. "One of t he elements of our Mission Statement is to prepare our students to function in a world community in the 21st century/' according to Dr. Peter Zwick, the university's global affairs coordinator. As part of t he university's commitment to preparing students for a world community, the University Global Affairs office was established last year. "Our first goal was to create a place where students, faculty and t he community could come and get information" of international interest, Zwick continued. The office also serves as a link to promote international studies and the globalizing ofCSUSM curriculum. "I think it goes without saying t hat w hen we t alk a bout 'globalizing,' we believe t hat (one of the elements of the Mission Statement) is to give students exposure to the larger world around them." There a re several ways by which students can learn to become part of this global community, he explained. One of those ways is through taking graduate or undergraduate studies in another country. "Given t he n ature of t he economy and our student body with respect to the personal commitments t hat people have to families and jobs ... students can't afford (to go abroad)," Zwick admitted, "not necessarily monetarily, but (because of) other commitments." To help offset t hat kind of situation, students can take part in shorter-term international studies programs, which can last three to four weeks. Another way to expand students' global horizons is by "bringing the world to t he campus," Zwick continued. Photo by Roman S . Koenig Dr. Peter Zwick (left), global affairs coordinator, and Pam Bell, support staff. "It means brining international students to the campus, and I think, given the way we teach here, students learn from each other," he said. Also included in this concept is bringing international faculty to CSUSM. "This could (include) visiting professors (who are here) for a semester, a year, or longer," Zwick noted. Foreign professors can also be on campus for shorter visits to give l ectures, s eminars o r colloquiums. Campus events such as international film festivals can expose students to issues ranging from political oppression t o gender, Zwick added. The ideas do not stop there. "If we send one of our faculty members abroad to study, t hat professor comes back to the classroom with an experience they can share with t he students," said Zwick. The main opportunities for students to study abroad come in the form of California State University (CSU) system p rograms, Zwick explained. Any CSU system student is eligible, he said. Students earn credits as resident students with t he same fees as a CSU student studying in California. Although students studying abroad are respon- sible for their own living expenses, studying abroad can actually be cheaper depending on the country the student chooses. "And t hat comes as a surprise to many students," Zwick said. Such programs are for students in any major, not just for language students, he emphasized. There are other programs for students who want to pursue particular majors, however. For example, a student could study one of six different majors in England — such as economics or psychology — or go to Denmark to study international relations or international economics. Programs like these last one year. Studying abroad is notjust limited to Europe. Mexico, Japan and other countries are available to students as well. Individual CSU campuses also develop shorter programs, and CSUSM's University Global Affairs office is creating such programs right now, according t o Zwick. Pam Bell serves as the office's contact person for the CSU system study-abroad programs. Applications are available in t he University Global Affairs office, Craven Hall room 5205. The deadline for submitting applications is Feb. 1. Call 752-4089. �4 THE PRIDE Wednesday, October 19f 1994 Are you information literate? Doubtless you have heard the phrases "information society" or "information age" or t hat we are undergoing an "information technology revolution." You already may have observed on your own t hat computers, telecommunications, and technology in general are playing an increasingly important role in your job, school, home life and society as a whole. One may be hard pressed to think of a part of your life t hat has not been touched by technology of some sort. So what exactly is this revolution? Sociologist Daniel Bell is often credited with recognizingthe shift from industrial society toward what he termed as "post-industrial" society. Essentially, society has passed through two economic stages - t he first being a society based on agriculture, t he second based on manufacturing. After World War II, the economic base started shifting from one based on industry to information. This new society is characterized by an increased role of the service sector of t he economy, a diminished manufacturing sector, and a new class of highly educated technicians. To be able to function in this postindustrial world, it is no longer enough to know how to read and write—the concept of literacy has changed. This is why many universities, Cal State San Marcos included, have computer competency requirements or are beginning to require t hat students own a computer upon entering t he university. Further, librarians are talking about "information literacy," which we define as the ability to locate, analyze and evaluate information. The American Library Association h as described information l iterate people as "those who have learned how to learn.

Right? Wrong. With more than 27 registered political parties in San Diego County, one wonders why no one ever hears about alternative parties, alternative solutions, or alternative ideas. The Pride believes this is happening because the media i s not doing their job. Major media conglomerates and their political kumbas who insist on maintaining the status quo promote candidates who support their hegemonic position. It is not in their interest to promote candidates who might "upset the apple cart." The League of Women Voters, which conducts and organizes most major political debates, i s equally guilty of not encouraging a more democratic process. They, like t he media, merely cater t o t he two major parties, which t o many folks are beginning to look more and more alike with each passing day. In the last presidential election, a third party candidate who was qualified in all 50 states (a criteria used t o eliminate third-party candidates from major debates) was not invited to participate in the presidential debates, and was threatened with arrest by police if he did not leave the premises. This kind of bullying hurts each and every American. Instead of allowing Americans to listen to several candidates, we are forced to a better United States T HE P RIDE hear the same old political "b.s." we have heard for decades. We have a runaway deficit that is growing, and a debt of over $4.3 trillion ($75,000 per person). Given the rate of taxation and cancerous growth of government, these and other problems have clearly not been addressed by either of the two major parties. A recent ABC N ews survey found that 72 percent ofAmericans are fed up with t he federal government and how it i s run. In addition, several states (Californiaamongthem) have passed resolutions reasserting their 10th Amendment right t o state sovereignty; and Montana i s already talking secession. Oh, the choices are out there, but the media and the League ofWomen Voters do not want you t o know about them. If you want to make a real choice instead of voting for the lesser of two evils, vote your conscience. Make it your responsibility to read the ballots and propositions, and learn about the candidates and issues from a variety of sources. It is too bad Californians do not have the option that Nevada recently passed and placed on the ballot — "None of the Above." The Pride Roman S.

Editor: Proposition 187, the Save Our State initiative, would end multibillion dollar subsidies to illegal aliens who surreptitiously enter the U.S. in violation of our law. It would also mandate closer cooperation between local police and the INS. To understand the need for SOS, the following facts are relevant. The Urban Institute has reported through the White House t hat Californians must pay about $1.3 billion in education subsidies for illegals each year. A state study recently reported that illegals cost taxpayers about $3.6 billion yearly net of taxes paid for welfare, schools, courts and prisons. The White House Commission on Immigration Reform has recommended the elimination of all federal subsidies for illegals. The County Supervisors have asked Gov. Wilson to declare a "state of immigration emergency" because ofthe crushingflowof illegal aliens. In a recent gang sweep in Escondido, 23 out 7 of 25 arrested were suspected illegals. The social costs of illegal immigration are even more acute. In our schools, jobs for English-speaking teachers are drying up as the schools direct more resources away from American students and legal immigrants toward programs for illegals. Uncontrolled bilingualism, driven partly by illegal immigration, threatens to transform our public school system into a dual-language system. Proposition 187 would merely require t hat Mexican students have a valid student visa and pay a tuition for their education, just as American students who are studying in Mexico. At a recent hearing of the Escondido Unified School District, a board member told of a class of Escondido elementary school students who could not attend a field-trip to Tijuana. About one-third were concerned that they would not be readmitted to the country. This is the extent of illegal school registration. Many illegal aliens are fraudulently enrolled. The state auditor recently found over 300 Mexican nationals fraudulently registered in Mountain Empire schools. The schools are thus rewarding dishonesty and fraud on abroad scale. The US is losing its sovereignty and security because of state-sponsored illegal immigration. Nations like Haiti and Cuba havefoundthatthey, like Mexico, canblackmail and humble the US by sending a human wave of illegal immigration into the US They are assaulting the US with statesponsored immigration aggression. Venal American officials have become an effective "fifth column" for this state-sponsored illegal immigration aggression. They aid and abet the flow of illegals. They a rejoined by Mexican officials who have the chutzpah P UBLIC F ORUM to dictate to American citizens that Proposition 187 is xenophobic. This is why weary, desperate US taxpayers support Proposition 187. It is supported by a majority of Hispanic-Americans. The continued flow of illegals, condoned and encouraged by some US officials, is engendering a deep cynicism for the law among Americans. They see illegals defying the law with impunity. IfProposition 187 should lose, the war of illegal immigration could enter a new, more dangerous phase. Ralph W. Ballmer Oct. 13 'Save Our State' lacks compassion Editor: You might say, WI support Proposition 187. I t's only t hat we can't afford to spend our limited budget on those who are not paying back into the system. Besides, the money we save can be used on my kid." We, in t he state of California, are about to make an important decision. Will we cut off access to education and health care for illegal immigrants? Those who support this initiative say we can save $2.1 billion. Proposition 187 proponents would have those undocumented workers who seek public education and health care turned in to the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), thus having them deported back to their own country. In a time of increasing budget shortfalls, we have to save money everywhere we can. No more illegal immigrants, no more costly services, right? Wrong. It is infinitely short-sighted to believe t hat costs of illegal immigration will end because of Proposition 187. The main cause of illegal immigration will still be here — jobs. To stop illegal immigration would require a change in the economy and political climate in t he home country so that potential immigrants would stay home. But until this happens, and we pray that it does, there will be an ongoing exodus to the United States. We, as a nation, should remember how it feels to be an immigrant. We are a nation of immigrants. Many of our forefathers arrived here as immigrants from many different nations. T h e y came to avoid religious persecution, some came to escape political turmoil, and but most came to seek a better life for themselves and their See LETTERS, page 7 �Wednesday, October 1 9 , 1 9 9 4 L ETTERS, continued from page 6 children. This is what drove immigration to the US in the past, and will continue today, tomorrow and into t he f uture. Those who support Proposition 187 claim that by t urning in t he undocumented, who seek public services, we would reduce the illegal immigrant population in California thereby saving the taxpayers millions of dollars. Here is where t he logic of this proposition is fatally flawed. The US Supreme Court has determined t hat a state must educate all children, regardless of immigration status. Proposition 187 is in direct opposition to t hat determination and, therefore, will be struck down as unconstitutional. Should an appeal be filed, it would cost the state millions of dollars to fight and it most likely will lose. This would simply be throwing good money a fter bad, and t he proposed savings would be lost and all we would then have is an enormous bill for a fight t hat should not have been fought. Furthermore, j ust because Proposition 187 mandates those suspected of being illegal immigrants must be turned over to t he INS does not mean t hat t he INS will take any action a t all. Because t he is a federal agency, it is not bound to any mandate to act upon whatever information t hat would be turned over to it by any state or local agency. In fact, t he same problem t hat caused Proposition 187 to be drafted will quite possibly be its downfall: lack of funds due to a budgetary shortfall. What are t he costs of not educating t he young, or of providing medical care? It is f ar cheaper to educate t han to incarcerate. It is estimated that the cost pf imprisoning one person 18MSWB itt^plMi ; '. :'; • • # v Hi.Ji&if* • > i 11 i* = •. •:: ' • .i.. y.- „ \ , H m >I ' ||| I exceeds $20,000 per year while the cost of educating t hat same person would r un around $6,000 a year. Our children are our future, even the children of the undocumented. Proposition 187 will h urt children, because they are being held responsible for the actions of their parents. Should a child be punished for the sins of the father? In our culture, we find this idea repugnant. Why should i t now apply to the childrenof undocumented persons? Proposition 187 supporters claim t hat millions in public funds are spent each year on undocumented persons for health care, but what of the area of public health? Proposition 187 would not stop illegal immigration. All t hat would happen is to have a large community of people, who could be carrying communicable diseases, living within our communities, walking on our streets and buying food in our stores. What are the costs if you, or your children, are infected with tuberculosis, cholera or even the plague? How can you put a cost on a life, especially a child t hat might be your own? Proposition 187 claims to protect emergency health care. However, it is far less expensive to practice preventive medicine than to use extremely expensive emergency treatments. The costs of implementing Proposition 187 would far exceed the benefits. We should remember what the bible says in Exodus 22:21, "Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt." In the Bible, t he Israelites struggled against persecution by the Egyptians, who had at one time, welcomed the Israelites as laborers, then turned them into slaves. Hence, we should not act in haste, nor out of fear. But, let us act with compassion for all people. We do face hard choices, but we must all face our problems together. Proposition 187 is not the answer to a very complex economic problem. Proposition 187 will cost California taxpayers much more t han its proposed savings. Please vote against Proposition 187. D an Rankin, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Oct. 13 Ofparking permits and consideration Editor: A recent Pride column entitled "Safely | Speaking" (Vol. 2, No. 1) labeled CSUSM Public Safety as "service-oriented" and "user friendly." Today, however, I discovered t hat t he appealing terminology may be little more t han hollow phrases. While on campus this morning, I realized t hat I had left my parking pass at home. I immediately drove to Public Safety and requested a day pass, and the clerk informed me t hat their department would not grant temporary permits. My options, according to t he clerk, involved purchasing a day pass from the parking lot machine or parking in a metered space. Since I had already purchased a semester pass, I balked at spending more. At home, I phoned three local campuses: Mira Costa, Palomar and SDSU. Each campus affirmed t hat students forgetting t heir parking permit would -Jbe issued a day pass. Students of Mira Costa and Palomar must show their student ID cards T HE PRIDE 7 Affirmative action needed Few issues have t he potential to inflame as much controversy and confusion as the topic of affirmative action in California. In a state riddled with racial tension and a rapidly worsening standard of living for all citizens, programs focused on equalizing opportunity for underprivileged minorities are often t he target of anger and frustration. Affirmative action programs a t universities, especially, are often held up as examples of "special treatment" for minority students at t he expense of other, more qualified students. Many people view affirmative action as j ust another unfair quota system that attempts to even out ancient injustices by practicing a form of reverse racism. This is a view based on pervasive ignorance and misinfohnation. Affirmative action programs were not established as corrective measures for historical racism; they were established as an attempt to equalize educational opportunity for qualified students who are not represented in the university system in numbers proportional to their presence in the general population. The Cal State San Marcos Student Affirmative Action office was created with this goal in mind. Student Affirmative Action (SAA) programs a re a common staple of universities in California, but t he SAA office has a special role to play at our school. The CSUSM mission statement postulates as a founding principle a dedication to fostering ethnic diversity and cultural awareness amongst the student body. This emphasis on w hat i s s ometimes called multiculturalism has placed our young prior to obtaining the temporary permit. SDSU's parking lot kiosk houses a semester pass computer print-out and personnel will issue a temporary permit to any student appearing on t he list. I reviewed the CSUSM Mission Statement and felt Public Safety's parkingpolicy hindered development of ".. .an atmosphere in which students can experience a challenging education in a supportive environment. J anine Lizarraga, liberal s tudies s enior Oct. 11 Feminine hygiene deserves equal treatment for female students, staff T HOMAS L EE HUNTINGTON university on the collegiate cutting edge. Despite this conscious devotion to ethnic diversity, it remained the case in 1993 t hat 71percent of the student population at CSUSM was white. There is nothing wrong with this figure on the surface; all qualified students are accepted to the university without regard to their ethnicity. This statistic merely serves as proof t hat there are a large number of eligible minority students not making t he transition to a fouryear university. That is where SAA comes in. Student Affirmative Action is a program largely devoted to student outreach based on t he principle t hat if intelligent, qualified minority students are located and given information about t he college process early in their academic career, the likelihood t hat those students will eventually choose to attend a four-year university is greatly increased. The outreach program is a three p art process t hat addresses students of all grade levels. The early college awareness phase t argets kindergarten through sixth grade students. The goal of this program is to provide young students with exposure to college facilities, faculty and students whenever possible in order to emphasize the attainability of a college education. P art of this phase is t he "I'm going to college" program, which last spring allowed fourth graders from Paloma Elementary to simulate t he first day of college at CSUSM. The intermediate outreach phase serves seventh to 12th grade students who are eligible for t he program. The information given here tends to be more specific about meeting college requirements and going through t he application process. The immediate outreach phase is concerned with community college students. Eligible students are given much t he same information and attention as high school students. CSUSM will admit freshman for the f irst time in 1995, and while it is one of t he goals of SAA to help make t hat freshman class as ethnically representative as possible, it should be emphasized t hat SAA is not a recruitment service for CSUSM. Recruitment is t he job of the entire university, particularly the school relations department. SAA merely supplements school relations efforts and attempts to provide eligible students with t he information and assistance they need to gain entrance to, and succeed in, t he university system. Editor: For a '90s university t hat is strong on promoting equality and awareness for women, I would like to ask the administration a small question: Why are the Kotex and Tampax machines in Craven Hall only 10 cents while the same machines, dispensing the same products, are 25 cents in the Dome and Academic Hall? Why are the female students of this campus being asked to pay one-and-a-half times more t han faculty and staff for t he same product? Are we not paying enough already in fees and tuition t hat we should be soaked for additional monies in little and obscure ways?

Answers without questions If readers would ask some questions I might have t o be serious and answer them. Without questions, here a re some answers and interesting facts. tfmM 1. The five items Americans purchase most a t t he grocery store are: Coca-Cola, P epsi-Cola, K raft p rocessed c heese, Campbell's soup and Budweiser beer. Note 1 or 2 may be considered food. 2. Adult Americans have increased their level of exercise b ut still 25% are sedentary, 54% a re active b ut d on't get enough exercise and only 22% work out a t recommended levels. 3. Adult Americans now consume less f at (34% as a percentage of calories), have lower blood-cholesterol levels by 8% b ut have increased t heir daily calorie i ntake by a n average of 231 calories. We w eren't u nder nourished to s tart with! 4. About 5,000 lives could be saved annually if women between t he ages of 20 and 60 would have an annual PAP smear, t he screening t est for cervical cancer. Currently, surveys indicate t hat only 56% of women have t his annual exam and testing. fa/atc/v 4\ DR. JOEL GRINOLDS 5. More on women! U nfortunately, women who smoke a re nearly t hree times more likely t han male smokers t o develop lung cancer. Lung cancer, not b reast cancer, accounts for more d eaths annually in women. 6. Also, t he Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report for t he f irst time, sex h as surpassed intravenous d rug abuse as t he most common way women become infected with HIV. Actually, these facts a re quite serious. Once again, they demonstrate t hat personal health and well being a re largely determined by our behavior a nd lifestyle. Prevention is still t he best medicine. Expect more on t his subject in t he f uture and if you would like t o have specific issues addressed, contact The Pride or S tudent Health Services.

Increasing p ressures from stiff competition, a sluggish economy, and a general sense of u ncertainly for t he future, all combine with personal self-doubt and f ear t o inhibit many s tudents f rom performing well on scholastic or professional examinations. Dr. Michael Samko, a clinical psychologist and hypnotherapist with a m asters degree from t he University of Texas Medical School and Trinity University, and Ph.D. from t he California School of Psychology, has been counseling b ar exam candidates for t he p ast 14 years. -< His f irst client was a Harvard Law School graduate who failed t he California b ar exam five times. Since t hen, h e h as helped h undreds of anxious t est takers—90 percent of whom pass t he exam a fterwards. "Examinations push our b uttons, and a lot of anger and lack of confidence comes o ut," Samko said. " That's w hat we have t o overcome." Many t est t akers say they know t he material inside-out But when i t comes time for t he physical a ct of t aking t he t est, anxiety bolts from t he closet of t he b rain and a ttacks t he e ntire body. "The, r esult is a n inability t o concentrate, " Samko said. "The mind wanders, or there is a great sense of nervousness and f rustration. These people have t he intelligence t o pass t he exam; i t's more of a n emotional block t hat p revents t hem f rom succeeding." Samko incorporates £ program of hypnosis and counseling designed t o facilitate the easy flow of information t hat h as been learned. "I tell t he s tudents t hat I c an't give them t he knowledge to pass," h e says, "but I can help t hem t o achieve a level of relaxation, of l etting go, like a jazz pianist who learns t o let go and play on a deeper level." (5) Keep life in perspective. Remember—this is only a t est. For f urther information, Dr. Samko can be reached a t his Carlsbad office (619) 4345525, or Del Mar office (619) 755-0515.

Develop cues such as pleasant images or tactile signals t hat youusewhilestudyingorpracticing. Using these same cues d uring t he t est can evoke feelings of relaxation and, therefore, enhance recall and performance. (2) Take regular b reaks while studying. Research suggests t hat physiologically, we go through regular cycles of concentration and relaxation. These cycles a re approximately 20 m inutes in length. Instead of trying to concentrate for hours, d on't fight it. About every 20 minutes, close your eyes and relax. Calmly review w hat you have j ust been studying. This process n ot only improves your efficiency, i t facilitates longterm memory. Be s ure t o remember t o t ake brief mental b reaks every 20 m inutes during long exams. (3) Do n ot b e a perfectionist. I t is not always necessary t o get every single answer correct. Realizing t his helps keep panic under control. (4) Do n ot u se stimulants, drugs or alcohol during your p reparation process. These substances will adversely affect your ability t o l earn a nd remember.

As San Diego areas such as the Gaslamp Quarter and Hillcrest have blossomed into cultural meccas littered with a rich diversity of interesting and exotic film, music, theater and conversation, it is easy to be overwhelmed by t he feeling t hat there is no intellectual or aesthetic life north of La Jolla. Slowly but surely, however, north county has built up a nicely functioning network of coffeehouses where those seeking a strong dose of caffeine and a taste of the Bohemian lifestyle can seek refuge from a landscape otherwise dominated by WalMarts and 7-11. The following list is an attempt (working roughly westward from Escondido) to provide brief descriptions of a few of those establishments. It is not comprehensive by any means. Ratings are on a scale of 1-10, taking into account atmosphere, service, clientele and, of course, the caliber of t he java. The Metaphor, located in downtown Escondido, is the grandfather of North County coffeehouses and it is still going strong. The customers are mostly regulars, ranging from brooding, chess-playing teenagers to yuppie businessmen. The atmosphere is informal and friendly, t he coffee is good and reasonably priced, and they open early and close late. The biggest draw here, though, is the adjoining stage area featuring an eclectic and interesting mix of local music and poetry. Overall Rating: 8 Espresso Mocha, located in San Marcos's Restaurant Row right next to t he San Marcos Brewery, is a pleasant place for studying or enjoying t he weather. Seating is mainly outside and the coffee (even though i t's served in paper cups) is among t he best around. It can heat up quickly on warm days, though, and the environment is not very conducive to conversation or loitering. More of a takethe'coffee-and-run kind of place. Overall Rating: 7 The Hill S treet C offeehouse in Oceanside, on t he other hand, is a very i nviting environment f or a lengthy visit. A small garden and fish pond accent t he outside patio area, and local a rt is always on display inside. The White Out, a delicious drink consisting of coffee, hazelnut flavoring and white hot chocolate, is a real crowd pleaser. Beware, though, t hat the place is taken over on weekend nights by wayward teenagers who crowd the front steps and generally behave as if they were j ust let out for recess. Overall R ating o n Weekdays and Sunday: 9 On Weekends: 6 Spill t he B eans on State Street in Carlsbad, is an overpriced, rather uninviting little establishment t hat closes far too early in the evening. The coffee is pretty good, but the service and the atmosphere leave a lot t o be d esired. O verall Rating: 5 J ust down the block on Roosevelt St.; though, one finds Arthouse, a coffeehouse/ gallery t hat has been open for 6 months. A charming establishment, Arthouse is ideal for any caffeinated occasion, be it intellectual, artistic or purely social. The coffee is great, the a rt is stimulating and the three owners work very hard to create a relaxed, inviting setting. There is an upstairs complete with veiy comfortable couches and a deck t hat overlooks the city. Nightly music and poetry often draw crowds, but there are plenty of nooks and crannies to escape to. Overall Rating: KK Vinaka, also in Carlsbad, is pleasant and comfortable. The low lighting and television make it difficult for study or reading, but t he casual* Hawaiian setting is inviting for social occasions. Overall Rating: 8 Kafana Coffee, a beachside patio Coffeehouse in Carlsbad, is usually very crowded. But i t's a prime spot, and when the weather is right, the atmosphere is difficult to beat. The coffee is a little expensive and the clientele a little on the touristy side, but the beach feeling is worth it. Overall Rating: 8 Miracles Cafe, off PCH in Encinitas, also has ample outside seating and mellow, relaxed atmosphere. The coffee is passable, the customers often a bit snooty (we are pretty close to Del Mar, after all) and parking is difficult, but i t's worth a visit or two. Overall Rating: 7 Esmerelda Books and Coffee in Del Mar is a wonderful bookstore with a coffee bar and a great, elevated outside seating area overlooking t he ocean. The chairs are veiy comfortable and conducive to solitude and study. Frequent readings from distinguished literary figures such as Allen Ginsberg add immesurably to t he appeal and balance out t he presence of preening yuppies and professional shoppers. Overall Rating: 9. For the best coffee on campus, you want to drop by Cafe Montana, in the courtyard next to the university bookstore. Steve and Tina Creed own Cafe Montana and another just like it in Ramona. Steve and Tina have been in the coffee business since their days in Seattle. So, for that latte, expresso, mocha, or their special blend of the day, treat yourself to the delicious coffee flavor and aroma of Cafe Montana. Above: liberal studies major, Stacey Haberman, orders up her favorite coffee drink, while Steve offers quality and service with a smile. Local band makes good By Thomas l e e Huntington The San Diego musicscene has taken off recently with t he success of such homegrown acts as the Stone Temple Pilots and Lucy's Fur Coat. Even Eddie Vedder, the poster boy for the so-called "Seattle sound," logged in time surfing in Encinitas before hitting it big. Local musical talent, though, is not limited to shirtless, angry young men screaming. There are a wide variety of acts from every musical genre worthy of attention, despite the fickleness of the record buying public. One San Diego band t hat certainly defies labeling is The Rugburns, who came to the attention of many listeners after their quirky single "Hitchhiker Joe" began getting extensive airplay on local radio stations this summer. As their new album Morning Wood attests, The Rugburns craft witty, literate songs full of pop culture references and highly accessible, acoustic melodies. It is appropriate t hat "Hitchhiker Joe" has become t he band's signature song. It is a cheery, darkly humorous tale of a cannibalistic hitchhiker t hat contains a relentlessly infectious chorus* This is pretty much the formula for most Rugburns songs—wicked humor laced with a touch of t he surreal, hidden behind a folksy, pop-song ar- rangement. It works so well because it is obvious t hat the band members do not take themselves or this musical endeavor too seriously; indeed, t he feeling t hat one is listening to a couple of literate, twisted friends jamming together after a night of drinking and general debauchery is what gives much of the music its charm. T hat's not to say t hat the songs are not articulate or tightly crafted. The satiric eye behind this music is sharp and obviously well-cultivated, particularly on songs such as "I Want To Learn About Love," "My Carphone's on the Pill," "Rub Somebody (The Right Way)," and "Me knd Eddie Vedder." Lead singer and songwriter Steve Poltz is able to strike the proper balance between wry, ironic detachment and plain silliness t hat keeps this band from losing all serious credibility and becoming a musical joke. All in all, Morning Wood is a highly entertaining, intelligently realized album t hat provides much needed solace from pretentious rockers too full of their own inner angst to appreciate the craziness of the world around them. It worth checking out—hey, any album t hat contains t he line "My mouth was just as dry as t he tampon dispenser in the woman's bathroom at t he Oceanside bus station" can't be all bad. �Voice of the Turtle Cafes Literarios Informal discussions about books in Spanish and books in English about Hispanics/Latinos for children arid adolescents.

Tickets are $5 for general admission; $3 for senior citizens and CSUSM students; and children under 12 are free. The Voice of t he Turtle performs a special and exotic form of folk music - music t hat has lived for over 500 years. Born of t he pain of exile, it is t he music of t he Sephardic Jew. Banished from Spain at t he time of Columbus' discovery o fthe New World, these people scattered throughout t he world, taking their music and language with them and influencing t he music and languages of their countries of refuge. The songs of this musical journey of t he Sephardic Jew a re a fascinating cultural blend, from t he sound of Arabic music t o Spanish and Eastern European folk music. Ranging from tender and haunting, to merry and jubilant; t he songs speak of t he joys and sorrows of life itself. All express t he vitality and s trength of these wandering people. I nternationally a cclaimed, t he f our m usicians who comprise The Voice of t he T urtle-Derik B urrows, Lisle K ulbach, J ay Rosenberg, and J udith Wachs sing and perform on over 20 exotic instruments such as saz, bombard, v ielle,. s hawm, o ud, a nd cha1umeau.

In t he contest,judges "converse" using a computer t erminal and t hen a ttempt to determine if t he terminal is controlled by another person or by a computer. The judges will be members of t he national media, who have no special expertise in computers. "Many people believe t hat in t he n ear f uture, h umans will be joined by an e qually i ntelligent species.. .computers so s mart t hat they can truly t hink, converse, and even feel. This contest will help t o expedite t he search f or t his new species. Surprisingly, in early competitions, some of t he computers fooled some of t he judges into thinking they were people," said Robert Epstein research professor a t National University and director of t he contest. The first t hree competitions drew national and international media coverage including CNN, PBS, New York Times, Washington Post, London Guardian, Science News and many others. For t his y ear's event, like t he previous t hree competitions, conversa- tions will be restricted t o certain topics. Next year t here will be no topic restrictions; i t will be t he f irst open-ended contest. This year t he a uthor of t he winning software will receive $2,000 and a bronze medal. In 1995, when t here will be no restrictions on topics, t he grand prize will be $100,000. The contest will be discontinued when a computer can pass t he unrestricted test. T he contest was inspired by t he British mathematician and computer pioneer, Alan Turing.

Students protest event BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Approximately 150 students and community members filled the street corner at Via De La Valle and Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar to protest before the appearance of filmmaker Michael Moore. CSUSM College Republicans organized the event and developed a website to get community members involved. The website stated the purpose of the protest was to let people know, "enough is enough, we are tired of Michael Moore's rhetoric and we are going to stand up against him and support our Government, President, capitalism, troops, and foreign policy." The protesters came from all over San Diego County to express their disapproval of this stop of Moore's "Slacker Uprising Tour." They held signs, some of which read "hippies go home, honk for bush, no flip flops in the white house, and no 'Moore' lies." Some protesters also chanted "4 more years" at passing motorists. College Republicans Nick Bonomi and Ashley Stuart lightened the mood of the demonstration by dressing as President Bush and as a GOP elephant respectively. "We're focusing on keeping positive," said Eileen Liston, external vice chair of the Col- An unexpected downpour Monday morning could not prevent the Graduate and Professional School Fair from going on as planned. "We didn't expect the rain," said Susan Buck-Allen from Career and Transfer Student Services, coordinator of the fair. "So far, everything has worked out great." The Director of Career and Transfer Services Sandy Punch was pleased with the turnout and the quick improvisation. "We had a mad rush to bring tables in from the rain," said Punch. The booths that were set up in the Kellogg Library Terrace area had to be moved under the cover of the library's overhang. The fair can not be rescheduled because it is part of a circuit that travels to other college campuses. "We have no choice of the date," said Punch. "We were lucky we got in (the circuit) early." The fair is held once a year in the fall. It includes representatives from different graduate schools as well as a workshop for students to hopes to remove some of the mystique of post baccalaureate education. "The workshop helps in dispelling the myths of grad school," said Punch. Other topics at the workshop included how to apply to grad school, financial aid and the experience of being a first generation grad student. Schools from as far away as New York and Australia were represented at the fair. "Australian universities offer many of the same programs as U.S. schools," said Eddy Dharmadji of Macquarie University near Sydney. "And of course, there isfinancialaid available." Despite the inclement weather, more than half of the 65 schools expected to attend were present.

Bush and Senator John Kerry put forward their positions on Social Security, immigration, minimum wage law and the war in Iraq at the final presidential debate. While watching the candidates, the student panelists, Democrats and Republicans alike, jotted down notes to prepare themselves for the discussion that followed. A student panel consisting of three Bush supporters (Nick Bonomi, Stephen Puetz and Matthew Curren) as well as three panelists who supported Kerry (Didi Lund, Dustin Lacasse and John Baden) talked about key issues regarding the presidential election. Dr. Scott Greenwood, a professor of political science on campus, acted as moderator of the panel. Each member was allocated four minutes to share their reaction to the debate, their favorite debate moments as well as key issues that they felt were absent from the candidates' statements. "The only time President Bush mentioned women in his speech, it was in reference to their reproductive organs," s^id Lund, president of the Women's Studies Student Association Didi Lund. Lund raised other key women's issues that she felt were overlooked in the debate. "When you look at the debate, John Kerry's policies are very appealing," said Bonomi, executive director of College Republicans. Bonomi also shared his personal experiences watching Kerry campaign in person months before and pointed out what he saw as a change in the senators' stance on key issues. He went on to say that some of Kerry's actual proposals were "180 degrees opposite" of what he stated in the debate. After the panelists made their statements, Greenwood opened the floor for questions from the audience. Issues such as abortion, gay marriage, and separation of church and state were brought up by students and panel members responded to the audience questions. "If the reason for denying gay people the right to get married is to protect the sanctity of marriage, then why don't we have a limit on the number of divorces a person can have?" said Baden, president of the University Foreign Aid Organization, in response to a question from an audience member regarding President Bush's proposal of a constitutional amendment to prohibit gay marriage. The discussion that ensued was indicative of the divided partisan affiliations of the panel members. Despite the partisan wrangling, the ultimate goal of the evening was to give students the chance to actively engage in a dialogue regarding political issues with their peers. EVENT, from page 1 "What started out as a negative situation, really turned into an overwhelmingly positive experience" said Yamout about the attempted cancellation of the event. "I've been at Cal State San Marcos for almost four years now and I'll tell you I've never seen the students more excited and more invigorated by any issue ever. Conservatives, liberals everybody in between has been so riled up the past few weeks, and it's been inspiring to me, and it's been inspiring to the community." Yamout thanked donors Herring Broadcasting and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fernandez for their financial contributions, then let Moore take the stage. "I know it's been a rough road for the students," said Moore. "The whole thing was set up and because of pressure on the administration (of CSUSM) our right to speak and your right to listen was taken from us." Moore remarked how the original plan was for a small event of 1200-1500 people. Crediting what he called the "Republican, conservative attitude of trying to prohibit free speech in San Diego County," the event grew almost ten times. "I think we need to do something else here so that the administration of Cal State San Marcos never ever even thinks of doing this again to any speaker of any political party," said Moore. Moore announced that the proceeds of the event would go toward a scholarship/grant program at Cal State San Marcos. "Each year for the next four years we will hand out a $5,000 grant or scholarship to the one student who has fought and stood up the most to the administration of Cal State San Marcos," said Moore. Moore said that students Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride should nominate other Joan Baez and Tom Morello. Morello took the stage and rallied the crowd students for the scholarship/grant by submitting a one page essay about "just how much with statements in favor of peace, human hell this one student raised, and how suc- rights, workers' rights and women's rights. Morello also sang a song called "House cessful they were."

"Michael Moore is picking slackers because they are not going to be the ones who educate themselves." The motorists in the area were just as divided as the protesters and the Moore supporters. Horns honked frequently in support while other cars held up signs supporting Kerry or middle fingers. When people yelled at the protestors, several would respond with "Bush hater!" One woman motorist at a red light was clearly unhappy with the protest. She stuck her arm out the window and displayed her middle finger to the protestors. As the woman waited for the light, she sat there with herfingerup glaring at the protestors. When a protestor in the crosswalk approached her car, she put her car in reverse, and drove right at him. The man quickly jumped out of the way and was not harmed. mw m Photo by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Michael Moore protesters rally outside of the Del Mar Fairgrounds Unusually long traffic lights made for a lengthy wait at the crosswalks, forcing those who parked off site to deal with the protestors. This gave both sides a chance to voice their opinions face to face. At times things became heated but never amounted to any- thing more than angry words. "I felt a little uncomfortable, it was weird being in the middle of a protest, but everyone was being really nice," said CSUSM senior DanaEricson.

These pants are perfect for casual or formal occasions. Don't be afraid to pair up the pin-stripe pants with f unky striped shirts and argyle sweaters.

While these are definitely not adequate deterrents in life, they can still be classified as challenges, can't they? Academically speaking, numbers are my kryptonite. The bright-eyed spitfire I typically can be will suddenly morph into a sweating, babbling mess as I struggle to carry an invisible number that doesn't even go there. Though, I did meet that challenge and pass college math, never to return to it again. I've been a mediocre student all of my life. I never minded this fact nor did I envy the students who did the whole "inquisitive youngster" routine. A fter all, I was busy trying to pry the remote control out of my brother's hand. And while the overachieving science students got ribbons for watching a potato grow sprouts, I wrote love poems to various crushes, made f un of teachers with chalk on their bums, and practiced my Oscar acceptance speech in the bathroom mirror. I never made honor roll, and it's been decided that I shan't make the Dean's list. Upon this revelation, I made myself comfortable. For it was here, in this middle of nowhere as a student, that I would become perfect. It's here, in the plush cushioning of mediocrity, where I will strive. Perhaps "striving" for a C sounds ludicrous, and it is. That's because I don't mean to strive for a C. My aim is to idle towards one; meander about the university, and let a C attach itself to my student body. Jenny Foster, a communications major, says that her parents think she's an excellent student. When I asked her if she really was, she looked at me as if I was a giant talking shoe. "No way" she said. Although Jenny says she's not the greatest of students, she is in fact graduating this year. My pool of mediocrity is getting crowded. There are those students, however, that were most likely the potato sprout watchers. Over the summer, I took Spanish 201 with a liberal arts major. During a test, she began to hyperventilate, claw at her face and desk, whimper and finally vomit a little bit in her mouth. Afterwards, when I asked her why, she simply said, " I am an A student. I'm just not good at Spanish. I have to pass." The sunshine that I chose to dispense? "Dude, all you need is a C !" A fter which I extended my right hand for the underachiever hi-five. You see if and when I decide to go to class, I sit in the back. I eat my banana, and I am the first to ask one of three key phrases that epitomizes the mediocrity of my studiousness: "Is there anything due?" "What did we do?" and "Is there anything new?" These are imperative questions to ensure that my position as a perfect mediocre student will not change. Right down the middle, kids. I'm not saying college is easy, or that it should be, mind you. What I am saying is that although I should, I simply do not apply myself. I do indeed have potential for straight A's, but meeting my potential for straight A's, why, that's a challenge, isn't it? If I go and do that, it would blow my perfecting mediocrity theory. I would then be excelling at academics and the bar would be raised. I'd meet that, and then the Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride C hrissy Baldwin, A & E editor for The Pride, takes a break from her normal study habits to follow Michelle's advice. bar would rise yet again. Before you know it, I'd be in the Olympics or the next Bobby Fisher, playing chess and showing off my great big brain. No thank you, I've got my special skill. Since floating, coasting, or gliding through college can be a skill if done correctly, the challenge of teetering just right, between the "real" world and the college life is like an art.

Photos courtesy of www.anncoulter.org A nn Coulter his argument depends on your perspective, but it can't be denied that Moore is profiting f rom the war in Iraq as much as Halliburton. It seems that everyone who hopes to influence your vote is a millionaire; some of them just look more the part than others. wants you to believe that focusing on terrorism is fear-mongering on the part of the right, but that denies the ongoing impact of 9/11 on our lives; I'm not afraid of being killed by a terrorist, but I am concerned about what will happen to our nation if al-Qaida is successful again. Like it or not capitalism depends entirely on people making and spending money. So if nobody's making money because we stop taking vacations, buying new cars, getting raises, going to the movies, investing in infrastructure, and the zillion other capitalist activities that slowed or stopped because of 9/11, then America fails to thrive, and that means fewer of those wonderful entitlement programs my left-leaning comrades are so fond of, less aid to other countries, and so on. It's a downward spiral we can't afford to see repeated any time soon. So weigh your facts. Get informed. Listen to what everybody has to say. Read between the lines. But don't let anybody make your choices for you; you wouldn't want me or Michael Moore or your professors telling you what to eat, so b e as fiercely independent about how you're going to vote.

But, the payments of chafe and malnutrition will be worth the discomfort If this paper stops playing with t he Moore issue like a pubescent boy plays with his,..column. Coming off the 'Letters to t he Editor' last week was a kindred spirit of cynicism, accusation, and Pride criticism. Carmelino C ruz wrote, "For the last weeks it seems that ail you [the Pride] write about is Michael Moore." Then adds, "I want to know who makes the decision on what t o write." Well Carmelino, let's prick and pry t he Pride. Shall we? On Tuesday nights t he collection of writers we call staffers, get together with t he heads-incharge (editors) and stories are divvied out amongst the crowd. Most are suggested by the heads, but writers are encouraged to toss up a couple of cookies as w ell Writers volunteer for the choices offered, or succumb to the pleas of the editors. And if that doesn't work, they loop B arry' Manilow's 'Mandy* till t he writers cry "Uncle!" In this democratic oligarchy w e get the stories that show up, A few, like Josh and I, do regular columns (m case you missed t he obvious). You can spot these by the grinning mug shots. A nd j ust between you and me, I suspect our faces are there so disgruntled readers can corner us in a dark alley. Which is why I don't look a damn thing like my mug. -WHISPER MODE - ON: T m actually a n obnoxious, tall, blonde dude, with a Vanilla Ice haircut, who doesn't smoke.' WHISPER MODE - OFF. Now, you should know kindred spirits of cynicism, that our writers are not paid for their troubles; they have jobs and classes to attend, and some even claim to have families. If that weren't enough, the time budget they're usually given for the stories is two, maybe three days. My colon takes longer to pass an apple. So for all my harsh wit on their articles, I always stand i n amazement that our staffers get their no-wage j obs done at all, (Don't tell 'em I said that.) While on the subject of harsh wit, our Mr, Milo w as lambasted by Mr. Bryan Watkins for his article on the d raft b ill But before you get his words, you get mine. I don't know who did the description under the front-page picture of f uture Devil-Dogs taking the oath, but a Rear Admiral wears a Squid's uniform, less things have changed since I was in. Also, please be sure my past fellow E-Club drinking buddies have their service spelt Corps, not Core. I think going through the hardest of boots and volunteering to be a "bullet-dodger" deserves at least a proper spell check. If that's not incentive enough, keep in mind these few and proud are trained to shoot and 'blow *@#$ u p/ J ust an observation. Now, onto Mr. Watkins' words. Bryan writes, "This article is riddled with misinformation that if taken for face value can undermine the legislative process as well as confuse the students of California State University San M arcos/' Well, I'd hate to think the Pride might "confuse the students," and we definitely don't want the Pride to "undermine the legislative pro- cess," Whatever shall we do? I comply with Mr. Watkins final point in his letter, " I strongly urge you to research your facts before printing t hem" To say the least, duh! On h is point about the confusion and undermining that might take place, I think both Mr, Watkins' letter and Mr. Milo's article share the same probs. There seems to b e a hint of ' false dilemma' and an itty-bitty bit of assumptions phrased as facts. Having read Mr. Milo's article, I realized that " Draft legislation alive in senate" was as misleading a header, as 'athletic build' tends to be in Personals. By the conclusion of the article my worries concerning a draft were put to rest by all the quotes that suggested otherwise. I get the same catharsis, when I get to the ass-end of TV news and find that the 'thing I don't know that might kill me,' has the same odds as m y winning an argument with my better half. I agree the use of such sensationalistic journalism leaves a NutraSweet taste on my palette. The Pride should avoid those 'read this or s uffer' headers. On the other hand, I doubt anyone would have read ' Draft legislation a possible, maybe, not really, well sorta something they're not really thinking about in senate.' Mr. Milo did start his article o ff with all the icing, but after chewing upon it, I discovered it was a fruitcake. Same goes for Mr. Watkins. " Confuse the students," and "undermine the legislative process" are empty calories to swallow. As for facts, the d raft bill is a dead horse, and Ms. Milo (the addressee of Mr. Watkins' letter) pees standing up. Actually, I 'm assuming the p ee thing. But if my facts are wrong, 'Ms. Milo' should consider work as a bearded lady. A nd that concludes this f un filled lambaste upon lambasting. Don't forget to vote if you're able. There it is. I just collected my civic duty karma point for the day.

Dropping off the kids Bathroom manners do count BY POLLY CHAROENKWANCHAI Pride Staff Writer Have you ever "dropped off the kids?" Or made a "deposit to the b ank?" Have you built any log cabins lately? Perhaps you aren't well versed in bathroom euphemisms, but these events usually occur because of bad Chinese food or an unwise choice to have ice cream and Cheetos for lunch. Whatever the case may be, people like me usually find it difficult to use public bathrooms. I am an occasional germaphobe with performance anxiety. (Note to self: Must sanitize hands with anti-bacterial soap a fter using the computer lab.) Due to my heightened fear of dirt and all things dirty, I take the necessary precautions to ensure that my adventures in the public restrooms are as clean and safe as possible. Yes, I admit it: I triple seat for maximum coverage. I am confident with the idea that no germs are penetrating through the fortress of seat covers so that I am allowed to do my duty (no pun intended) with peace of mind. I do provide one warning when dealing with multiple covers: It takes more than one flush to get those suckers down. This might cause your fellow bathroom enthusiasts to wonder why you've flushed so many times and what you ate to create such a flurry of flushes. The automatic toilets we have on campus are terrific for people like me, if they only served to work when we needed them to. For instance, it is unpleasant to be the victim of a "drive-by flushing." This type of crime i s committed when the bathroom patron is not quite done with business, but becomes momen- I am confident with the idea that no germs are penetrating through the fortress of seat covers tarily disrupted by automatic and unwanted flushing. There is also the "delayed flushing" which occurs when the patron waits for 10 seconds or more before the toilet realizes that it must now dispose its contents. I suggest people use this time to reflect. These events must not be misconstrued with the "random flushing." This happens when there are many people in the restroom (perhaps people who will recognize you later in the day). As the name suggests, many people produce a random and spontaneous flush in order to distract other people from any turbulent sounds coming f rom your direction. This is detectable when the number of flushes being produced is higher than the amount of people in the bathroom. Lastly, there is the "conditional flushing." This takes the most amount of mental commitment and is not recommended for emergency situations. The conditional flushes are based on the experiments of Pavlov and his salivating dogs. It requires that you do your business in sync with other flushing toilets as to mask the thunderous noise you have produced. This move takes careful planning and coordination by listening for the sound of people entering the restroom as well as timing your "main event." These techniques apply under the assumption that y our "kids" are going to be loud, if you catch what I mean. They also imply that you are suffering f rom stage fright. For people who are hounded by this everyday dilemma, I suggest that you: 1. Change your diet 2. Learn which bathrooms carry the least traffic flow (hint: there's one that's virtually unused in the ACD building) 3. Accept that Mother Nature is a loud force of wind (last of the puns) that's just meant to be heard. If all else fails, just prairie-dog it. �10 Tuesday, October 19 2004 O Pi lI lNI V /O i lN Il V/l T HE PRIDE Dear Editor, I 'm writing this letter to let my fellow students know about a bad experience I had at a College Republicans/ Progressive Activists Network screening of the last presidential debate. After the debate a pre-chosen panel of six student speakers from both sides (republicans and democrats/liberals) were allowed four minutes each to speak about what they thought about the performance of their particular candidate. As each student took his/ her turn, one republican mentioned that he was disappointed that the audience turn out wasn't as good as they had hoped. There were about 20 students in the audience and many were friends or club members of the student panel. After all of the panel members finished their time to speak, the discussion was opened to the audience. After the first topic was ended, I brought up a topic that is very important to me. I directed my question to the republican panel members. As I was exchanging ideas with one panel member, another member was huffing and puffing, shaking his head in disagreement, and even decided to laugh at me while I was talking. He then took the microphone and began voicing his ideas. As the discussion continued, I mentioned reading some information from a book required for my Mass Media and Society class with Professor FrediAvalos. This panel member arrogantly stated that the book was written by communist and that it should be ignored. After he mentioned that, his College Republican friends began attacking the book also. The republicans then began attacking my ideas in a four-on-one fashion. I had also mentioned that the arrogant panel member should tell Professor Avalos that the book was written by communist and he arrogantly replied that he would tell her. One of his republican friends had also mentioned that the book had no references, which is completely false (I will be glad to provide the book information to anyone interested). After a few more minutes of republicans against me, the mediator inteijected and stated that we should not discuss one issue for too long and also corrected the arrogant panel member as he made false accusations during his speaking on the issue. It turns out that he didn't know as much about the topic as he thought he did! I was so surprised that my thoughts and ideas on that topic were treated so aggressively. I always assumed that in a democracy it is vital to exchange ideas in a respectful manner. In order to understand the issues we must hear both sides and it seems to me that the republicans are only interested in their side. How an arrogant, self righteous student was chosen for a panel is beyond me. Not to mention that I am sure that I will never attend any forums by these groups ever again. I think that the reason so few students attend these meetings might be because of the undemocratic environment and I will be sure to recommend NOT going to these forums for that reason. I would like to say that the other panel members did a good job and did treat me with respect. But it only takes a few to ruin the fun. I am in no way angry at anyone for not agreeing with me. It's when people begin talking down to me that the problem arises. So students beware, if you don't agree with the norm at one of these functions, you may be in for a "republicans vs. you" battle?! Claude Sayf Senior, Communications Major Letter to the Editor: This week students will vote on a referendum concerning the Early Learning Center (ELC), the childcare facility owned by our student government (ASI). So far, the ASI has supplied one-sided information for funding concerning the issue. Student leaders have not presented their constituents with the data necessary for making sound decisions on this important issue. We see posters hanging prominently in ASI office windows and prominent displays occupying the center tables at the Dome with sales pitches for funding the center. Why don't student government leaders present honest information? Over the years, the student body has subsidized the ELC with losses totaling about a million dollars (Student leaders have never released exact figures). Now we're being asked to increase our student fees by $10 to make up for projected shortages. That adds up to over $140,000 annually. The ASI's and The Pride both championed Michael Moore's recent appearance as a victory of free speech. But Moore's message was more than just to speak freely—it was to question that which doesn't make sense. Yet The Pride ran a story stating that the ELC would make 97 % of its costs through sources other than student fees. What is the ELC's total operating budget if the student body's $140,000 is only 3% of its funding? I am not arguing against childcare, I am arguing against our student government representatives' failure to keep their constituents informed. The 48 students who benefit from subsidized childcare every semester are certainly deserving, but their fellow students are just as deserving and at the very least, we deserve the right to be properly informed about voting issues. It's conceivable that one of us might come up with an alternative to the ASI's current all or nothing proposal. Steve Compian Graduate Student Dear Editor, I 'm sure you all know but in case you don't October 18th-21st are the dates for the voting for the Childcare Services Fee Referendum to keep the Early Learning Center open. The Early Learning Center is CSUSM's answer for childcare for student parents. I know there are many of you out there who would like to vote no because you don't want to pay for something you are not going to use. I understand that, however many of us pay for fees here we don't use, books we don't read, a parking structure we will never see. This ten dollars is at least going to a humanitarian cause: the education of children. The Early Learning Center enables many parents the ability to continue their education to provide a better life for their children, provides childcare to CSUSM faculty & the community, as well as provides internships, employment opportunities and more. It is a wonderful program. As you could guess, I am a student parent; my daughter Madison age three has attended the "school" as she calls it, for a little over a year and she loves it. In that time, she has become potty trained, learned to ride a tricycle, can count to twenty, is recognizing numbers, is learning to write her name, and is learning valuable social skills. She would have met these milestones eventually but I know that they have been met sooner and with more understanding with the love and support of the ELC staff behind her. I really hope students realize that this is not about ten more little dollars (it's only two or three Starbucks©), but it's about the big picture and as^cheesy as it sounds, children are our future. The children who attend the center might be only between the ages of 2 and 5 but they still care about their school. If the vote doesn't pass the ELC will be forced to close its doors. How awful would that be for this to be these children's first educational experience; a school they have been so comfortable in and have grown to love being closed because CSUSM couldn't fit it in their budget. Please do the right thing for these children, please protect their school, please protect their teacher's jobs, please vote yes and encourage others to do so. Natasha Walls Liberal Studies Major �M O S D e f : The New Danger BY JASON ENCABO "TheNew Danger" Pride Staff Writer is now among u s and Mos Def is most definitely bringing something new t o the table. Maintaining his success as a rapper/actor, Mos Def has been featured in numerous films ("Italian Job"), music videos (Alicia Keys — "You Don't Know My Name") and of course songs (Kanye West - "Two Words"), leaving fans without a solo album since his 2002 release of "Black On Both Sides." Mos Def now re-enters the hip hop scene with a highly anticipated new album. Throughout "The New Danger," Mos Def experiments with a mixture of elements of rock, soul and certainly hip hop. He combines these elements to deliver the tradi- What Ü tional Mos Def style, along with a new sense of maturity. He often breaks the conventional pattern of verses and choruses placed throughout a song and formulates a songstructure of his own. I had trouble determining if some songs were actually songs, or if they were j ust long instrumentals or interludes. But after listening to the album in its entirety, I couldn't help but love it. "The New Danger" provides a very diverse assortment of songs, satisfying listeners of many genres. This album also thoroughly addresses the live aspect of music, bringing together a sound resembling artists like The Roots and Rage Against The Machine, all while maintaining the true sound of hip hop.

The South Park guys, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, bring us another sterling piece of social satire, this time cloaked in vomit. "Team America: World Police" is not for the faint of heart (or mind), but is for anyone interested in broadening their world view beyond that of "socialist weasel" Michael Moore (hey, I'm just quoting the film here, don't get your thong in a bunch and start firing off emails to the ombudsman). But more to the point, this film is for anyone who pees their pants at watching gratuitous puppet vomiting, gratuitous violence by puppets on puppets, puppets speaking fake Arabic that sounds like your 8year old nephew talking gibberish and a puppet sex scene that will send you rolling in the aisle (while peeing your pants) if you ever participated in that quintessentially American childhood experience of manipulating Barbie and G. I. Joe to make sweet sweet love. "Team America: World Police" is about a super-patriotic, elite group of American crime-fight- Photos courtesy of Paramount Pictures ers who chase down and wipe out terrorists all over the globe. Parker and Stone's political leaning should be apparent from their treatment of Moore and Film Actors Guild members Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, et al., (just in case you missed Parker and Stone's 2001 sitcom "That's My Bush!"), but as usual they don't let our side of the aisle off the hook, either: Team America goes after it's objectives without a twinge of remorse over collateral damage (though trust me, you'll be laughing at that, too), and the voice of I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. - a supercomputer that provides the team its information - is provided by none other than multiple-personality radio comedian Phil Hendrie (KFI-AM 640, weeknights 7-10 p.m., if you're not in oirthe joke, you're part of it, so listen in sometime). The choice to use puppets is brilliant: you can do things with a puppet (or more properly, a marionette) that just wouldn't work with the flat paper characters of South Park (though in an odd twist of fate, the puppets can't seem to walk any better This film is for anyone who pees their pants at watching gratuitous puppet vomiting than Kyle or Stan). If you forced me to find fault with this genius piece of work, I would probably pick on the soundtrack: I played the "South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut" soundtrack in my car for at least a year after that film debuted, and my friends and I still break out in a nice rendition of "Uncle F**ka," "Kyle's Mom's a B**ch," or "It's Easy, MMMkay" every now and then. Theatergoers left this film singing the anthem "America, F**k Yeah," and the soundtrack definitely works, but "Team America: World Police" no musical (and I loves a good musical). Parker and Stone have said they aren't out to influence the election, but I still think you should run don't walk to your local Cineplex and see this film before you vote (just be sure to check your sensitivity and political correctness at the door). After all we are what we are. God bless America. F**k yeah! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This two-day celebration o f Native American heritage will include intertribal dancing, singing, and arts and crafts. According to Bonnie B iggs, the Coordinator o f Arts and Lectures and original member of the Pow Wow's organizational committee, all events in the series are planned in conjunction with at least one or more classes At Cal State San Marcos. Events such as this are well coordinated with the academic aims of the school. The Arts and Lectures events "support and enhance instruction here at CSUSM," says B iggs. The Pow Wow originated as a story-telling session held at San D iego State's North County library. According to B iggs, four hundred people attended the first meeting which has grown considerably. Last year's Pow Wow attracted nearly 10,000 people - many arriving from out of state. B iggs firmly believes that "it's one o f the best Pow Wows in California." This event is more than just a celebration o f Native American spirit. According to Calvin One Deer Gavin, it i s also a great academic experience.

Want to explore j ob possibilities and learn which local companies and government agencies are hiring and what they are looking for? Come to the CSUSM career fair and meet representatives from dozens o f local businesses and government agencies. The career fair is a great opportunity for C SUSM students to gather information about prospective employers and research career possibilities in an informal setting. The career fair will be held on October 3rd from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the C SUSM Founders Plaza. Among the more than 8 0 employers attending the fair are Bank o f America, The California Highway Patrol, Farmers Insurance, the San D iego Wild Animal Park, Kaiser Permanente. A nd the State Board o f Equalization. "The career fair is a great opportunity to put out information and clear up misconceptions," says Rebecca Boomer, employment c oordinator at the San D iego Wild Animal Park. Boomer wants to encourage people to start at entry level positions. "Parks like the Wild Animal Park tend to promote from within, so people need to realize that an entry level position gets your foot in the door," says Boomer. Boomer started at the park in an entry level position when she was 16. She's now been with the park for 12 years. "Even with a c ollege degree*, many people have to. start at the bottom and pay their dues," reminds Boomer. "People sometimes feel that it is beneath them to start at positions like cashier or clerk, but they need to understand that the park receives as many as 100 applicants for animal keeper positions, and whenever possible the park promotes people from within it's o wn staff." Jim Kohl, a C SUSM graduate w ho now works for the State Board o f Equalization says, "The career fair i s a great way to interact with students." The board has hired several C SUSM graduates and "is very pleased with the caliber o f students at CSUSM." "The timing o f the fair i s great this year. The C SUSM career fair is a week before the State Board o f Equalization holds it's semiannual interviews. Applicants who do well at the initial interviews are placed on a list and called back for second interviews as positions open up." says Kohl. T he c areer f air o ffers s tudents the chance to meet employers from many d ifferent areas at o ne time in a single location. Students are encouraged to ask questions about j ob possibilities and skills required to get the job. Students can also use this opportunity to find out more about potential employers and economic conditions which may affect future employment possibilities. In addition to the career fair, C SUSM will be holding a graduate and professional school fair on Friday, October 4th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students can explore study opportunities and graduate school requirements with representatives from several universities and professional schools. �N EWS The Pkide, Wednesday, OctdkeK 2 , 1 9 9 6 More space on t he way Classrooms will open in January Studies and the duplication center, which is currently in Science Hall, will fill additional space.

By Donna Gonzales Staff Writer H fmOKS: My boyfriend and my son were out playing football the other day. Charlie, 10, apparently has a knack for "throwing a spiral." At least that's what Bill says and he ought to know what with all the time he's spent coaching from the couch on Siinday afternoon. Anyway, because of this, Bill thinks Charlie should play on a team this year. Charlie, whose only concern is having fun, says playing on a team is a great idea as long as he gets to tackle people and get dirty. Bill agrees that those are wonderful attributes of the game, but stresses that the main reason to j oin a team is to experience the thrill of competition.. S omehow, I g et the idea that B ill doesn't think that Charlie's ability "counts" unless somebody i s keeping score. I think this must be one of those Mars/Venus thing. Now, Bill and Charlie are two of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. O.K. I know neither one of them would be especially pleased with that description but I'm o gly telling you this to make a point. The rcfulfne starts innocently enough. One will off-handedly suggest a f ew passes out in the street and suddenly these s weet, sensitive guys turn into , well, you know, guys. And I mean Guys with a capital "G". "I'll bet I can get to the street before you do," Charlie challenges., standing at the front door, knob in hand. "Sure, if you're already outside before I even know we're racing," Bill complains. "Come back in here and we'll start from the couch." "No fair," y ells Charlie from the front yard this time. "You have to give me a head start." "What kind of head start i s that?" Bill questions, trying to get out the front door before Charlie sees him coming. "Ill bet you can't get the gate open before I catch up with y ou." "How much?" asks Charlie lunging for the gate. "You cheated," Bill says, a little too seriously. "You have to say if you're betting me or it doesn't count." "O.K.", Charlie counters. "I'll bet you a dollar you won't catch the first pass I throw." "No problem," Bill says. "Hey, wait. I wasn't even ready yet."~ "You already bet and I won. I can't help it if you can't catch." And s o it goes. Maybe I could understand this somewhat irrational behavior if it was limited only to sports. I mean, sports are competitive by their nature s o it would only stand to reason that those observing them would act up in one way or another. But this primal urge can rear its ugly head in the most innocent of situations and frankly, it frightens me a little. "Hey, did you get those weeds over there?" "Don't worry. I whacked 'em all.

UFTIG projects showcased a t tech. fair By Ken VanHorn Page Editor The Computing and Telecommunications Department hosts its second annual Cal State San Marcos Technology Fair Oct. fourth. The fair will be in Commons 2 06 from noon until two p.m. Featured in the fair will be projects that received funding from the University Fund for Technological Innovation on Campus (UFTIC). These projects are geared toward the education of both students and community members and are related to the direction technology has taken in todays work place. Attendees will have a unique opportunity to see for themselves how edu- cation is being reinvented by technology and have a hands on experience with new programs that are relevent to daily events. The UFTIC was established by President Stacy two years ago as a way to foster the i nnovations and t echnologically friendly environment of the campus. It is also a means of insuring the funding is available for cutting edge equipment. "(UFTIC) allows faculty to have the funding and university support with a limited amount of money." said Dr. Bill Stacy, CSUSM President. Because w e are a newer university more consideration has been given to the neccesity of technology. Instructors can be assured there will be a computer on their desks and labs are better equipped. ' The university is trying tofindit's niche in a world of higher education," said Cuck Allen, CSUSM Multi-media Specialist. "We are lucky to be a newer university." Computers aren't the main focus of the technology fair but rather a tool that is used t o demonstrate the individual projects. "They're like a shovel. You g o to a garden show and s ee shovels and don't think 'Wow a shovel show' but rather see it as a neccesity in gardening." Allen said. Departments presenting projects will range from Computer Science and Psychology t o Library and F inancial A id. Catagories highlighted in the fair are Academic mid Service Projects, Operation and Accounting. The Computing and Telecommunications Department encourages everyone to attend. �OPINION The Pnide, Wednesday, OcrobeK 2, 1996' T H E P RIDE Constitutional, medical smoke screens blown away by right to life Sewing Cat Srare San Mancos since 1993 EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Tony Barton BUSINESS MANAGER Martin Backlund ON-LINE EDITOR T yCarss PAGE EDITOR Ken Van Horn STAFF Charles "Steg" Stegmuller, Donna Gonzales, Andie Hewitt, Rebecca Blanchard, Gabriel Lundeen, Kathy Simpson, Paul Hilker ADVISER Tom Nolan ADVISORY PANEL Erik Bratt, Roman S. Koenig, Ed Thompson^ Norma Yuskos, GfieryfE^rai^ Renee Curry KEN VAN HORN Abortion became an American battlefield thanks mainly to the historic R owe vs. Wade case o f 1969. S ince theji, A mericans h ave b een b ombarded on the issue from every imaginable side. Abortion has divided the nation into t wo camps and has inspired every c onceivable reaction, from passive protests to extreme violence. T he l atest o nslaught o f the d ebate h as brought to the surface a practice know in the medical profession as the "late term abortion" or "partial birth abortion." The issue i s fast becoming a line in the sand b etween p ro-life and p ro-choice supporters. More importantly, it has become a defining issue for election year voters. P resident C linton, c iting c oncern f or women's health issues, vetoed a bill earlier this year that would have put an end to the use o f late term abortions. In response, the House o f Representatives overrode the v eto by a s lim margin. T he s enate then v oted t o support Clinton, giving states the power to decide i f the procedure was permissible. The practice allows a woman to terminate a pregnancy in her last trimester. The controversy concerns not only the timing o f the abortion, but " ' S ^ l i S w I S ^ i r i ^ ^ S B ^ T S e ^ a n c e o f health issues. It can last more than a day and, in some cases, as many as three. During the abortion, breech birth is initiated and a needle i s used to collapse the child's head. This f ocuses the debate away from the health of the woman to that o f the baby. The pro-life side has argued that no true concern for women's health issues can be cited for the late term abortion, given the fact that the procedure takes s o long. The pro-choice side maintains that the w omen's health i s not limited to the physical but a lso must consider their emotional states. HLate term abortions have rekindled the debate which surfaces every election year. The difference this time i s the fact that the actual procedure has b ecome the target o f debate! instead of the ideals or morals involved. The i ssue has c aused supporters on both sides to take a c loser look at where they stand. Pro-choice supporters have had to re-evaluate the real issue o f l ife versus the bureaucracy, causing many to support the abolition o f late term abortions. The controversy i s redefining the boundaries and doing away with many o f the gray areas in which pro-life supporters have hidden. The right to l ife has begun to take a precedent o ver personal c onvenience, causing prochoice supporters to fend without the medical or constitutional smoke screens they have depended upon in past debates.

Tonic provides taste of 70's heavy < progressive By Gabe Lundeen Pride Staff Writer "It's a little bit o f everything," said Tonic lead singer and lyricist Emerson Hart. "A little bit of the darkness, a little bit of the lightness that you get in life." Tonic is an up-and-coming band that has been compared to such heavy weights as Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin in their etherealism, precision, and rock-and-roll style guitar playing. Tonic is a four man group, consisting of vocalist/guitarist Emerson Hart, guitarist Jeff Russo, bass player Dan Rothchild, and drummer Kevin Shepard They met in 1993 when Hart and Russo, old New York f riends reacquainted in L os A ngeles, hooked up with the other two group members to form a band. The band i s very much guitar-driven and has been described in almost nostalgic tones, bringing up images of classic rock. Guitar magazine describes them as "at heart an old-fashioned rock band". ^ ^ ^ g g ^ ' G a b e Lundefery • The band has received excellent reviewsfrom music publications, and despite the lofty comparisons, the band still remains down-to-earth. "Our main goal is remembering to make the best music possible and to keep true to the songs," said Hart. "It's always about the songs. Not the look." For the past four months, Tonic has been touring through much of the United States. Tonic plays on Wednesday, October 2 at Brick by Brick, in San Diego.

But, beyond merely showing the rise and inevitable fall of a celebrity, "Basquiat" is an engrossing film about the e ffects o f instant fame on one w ho stumbles upon it. The film boasts an all-star cast, with such notables as Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken, Gary O ldman, M ichael Wincott, David Bowie, Dennis Hopper and Courtney Love. The most notable of these is B owie, who has the daunting j ob of playing Andy Warhol. But he looks the part, and proves once again that his talents are more than musical with a humorous and charming portrayal of the legendary artist. The real star i s Jeffrey Wright, who plays Basquiat, the artist who died of a drug overdose nearly 10 years ago. Wright steals the movie from his more famous co-stats with a performance that is amusing, inspiring, and tragic one that is easily worth Oscar consideration but probably will be ig- "One day I'll turn the corner and I know I won't be ready for i t" -Jeffrey Wright nored. Wright manages to project true sympathy throughout the movie, as Basquiat never seems truly happy in obscurity or in fame. "One day, I'll turn the corner and I know I won't be ready for it," the artist confessed early in his career. Wright manages to illustrate this inability to deal with fame in a moving fashion. Some of the film's most interesting scenes are speech-free, featuring only music. Usually music is an extraneous element in movies, but here, the works of artists like Tom Waits, John Cale and Van Morrison give certain scenes a great deal of power. The actors truly demonstrate their talents in these dialogue-less moments, and the music serves almost as an actor as well. Director Julian Schnabel is obviously a talented f ilm maker and will hopfully continue making movies. Basquiat i s a triumph, and it is easily one of the best movies to hit theatres this year. In a summer of action movies like independance day and Mission Impossible, Basquiat is a refreshingly honest and human movie that should not be missed. �The ?mbe, Wednesday, Ocrohe* 2, 1996 PLACE AN AD WITH I HII PRIDE!

Without so much as a moments hesitation, Charlie was dragging the ladder in from the garage t o do what he was told. I looked incredulously at Bill and asked him how on earth he had gotten Charlie to do that with no fighting or complaining. I won't bore you with the details o f Bill's reply, but let's just say it had a rather evil, conspiratorial tone. And, as I turned to walk out of the room, I could almpst swear I saw in the window in front of me, the reflection of Bill's body flying through the air...

The event provides an opportunity for students to learn about Native American tribal history, and simultaneously f ulfills the multi-cultural aims o f the university's mission statement. "It is a family oriented activity. Anyone who wants to come is welcome. Many families from the community came last year to enjoy and learn," said Gavin. Gavin is the TRIO Programs Advisor here at CSUSM and is also part o f the Pow Wow committee. The best time to g o to the Pow Wow is at twilight, said Gavin. When the atmosphere and setting are perfect for relaxation and enjoyment, one "can learn a lot more," he said. The aim of the Pow Wow is to make people aware to inspire curiosity to find out more about cultures which are typically under-represented -especially on college campuses. "I want to encourage those who are attending the Pow Wow for the first time to feel free to ask questions while they're there. Don't feel shy," he said. This year, the Pow Wow will feature intertribal dancers from the Pacific Northwest. It will be held from 11a.m. Saturday, October 5th until 5p.m. on October 6th on the green adjacent to Twin Oaks Valley Road. Alcohol is not allowed. This event is free to the public. Bring your own shade umbrellas and chairs. Workshops for l ocal Native American junior high and high school students will be held on the 4th of October. These workshops are designed to encourage students to g o to college. Featured speaker will be Howard T. Rainer, a Taos Pueblo/Creek Native American. If, in one lot of ink formula, the machine identifies six components which can clog a pen, but only f ive in a separate lot, scientists can identify the sixth component by measuring radio frequencies, and make the ink consistent. Dr. Jacqueline Trischman, the CSUSM chemistry professor who directs the effort, sais, "We're just one step away from completing the project." When the research is finished, Trischman hopes to continue working with Formulabs, as well as other companies. Already, a local pharmaceutical company has expressed eagerness to use the university's $ 300,000 Nuclear Magnetin Resonance Spectrometer to identify chemical compounds. "Such partnerships work well for both companies and the university," said Trischman.

"There is truly something for everyone at the upcoming Pow Wow," said Karin Giron, Pow Wow co-chairperson, and AISA president. "AISA looks forward to carrying on this most precious tradition, and warmly Welcomes any support that you may have to offer." This is the second year that this student organization has served as the main organizer for the event. AISA expects that approximately 10,000 people from all cultures and tribes from the Indian Nation will attend the Pow Wow. The theme for this year's Pow Wow is honoring the past, and celebrating the future. The tradition of the Pow \yow is social, cultural, and sacred, according to Giron. Some of the scheduled events include native drumming, singing, intertribal dancing, and native arts and crafts. Organizers expect 50 vendor booths, which will provide native foods, arts and crafts, and beverages outside the dance and drum arena. ; "What makes this year's Pow Wow different from last year's is that we will have Hawaiian dancers performing during the dinner break Saturday evening, Oct.6," said Giron. Sponsors of this year's Pow Wow include Nordstrom, CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez, CSUSM's Instructionally Related Activities Board, and several individuals, departments, and organizations on campus. The Pow Wow is f ree to the public and will be held on the field on the corner of Twin Oaks Valley Road and Craven Drive. Those who would like more information regarding the scheduled events at the Pow Wow are asked to call (760) 839-1634. Homecoming activities will continue on Monday when the university hosts the first Cal State San Marcos Squares. Student veterans on campus will also hold a free BBQ lunch at the Dome Plaza for students. On Tuesday, the men's soccer team will play a homecoming game at 4 p.m. on Mangrum Field against UCSD. The homecoming celebration will continue Wednesday, with Angela Davis, a featured speaker for the Intercultural Speaker Series. The lecture will be held at 7 p.m.. at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. The homecoming celebration will conclude on Friday evening with a masquerade dance in the Dome. Those who would like more information on homecoming week are asked to contact ASI at (760) 750-4990.

An accident involving a student and faculty member occurred on the morning of Sept. 24 in Lot C, bringing attention to this on-going problem. The collision was minor, said campus police officials. After the incident, the student and faculty member exchanged contact and insurance information. Most of the accidents on or around campus usually involve no intervention by campus police if a resolution is reached between the involved parties. There have been accidental reports involving hit-and run incidents this semester. Campus police reported five "property damage only" accidents that did not involve injuries. There were six hit and runs so far this semester. There have been no major injuries reported. The number of accidents that occur when students leave the parking lots has risen, often due to drivers misjudging the^speed of oncoming traffic and making last minute turns, according to campus police. When some students discover damages to their vehicles, there is little else for them to do but file a police report. "Most often, when someone hits another car in the parking lots on campus, usually in an attempt to park, that person drives off and away from the scene to another spot, said Sgt. Bill McCullough. An accident is considered a hit and run if a driver fails to stop after a moving collision, or if a driver hits another car and fails to leave a contact note for the owner. This is considered a misdemeanor, and if the driver is pulled over, he/she is considered a hit and run suspect and will be arrested. If a hit and run occurs and someone is injured, whether it is a moving accident or a parked car Is struck, the crime becomes a felony. Those that would like to contact the campus police regarding an accident on campus may call their non-emergency line at (760) 750-4567. As the new school year gets underway, GEW will come under new leadership as Dr. Aneil Rallin, Professor of Literature and Writing, takes over the reins as Director of CSUSM's General Education Writing (GEW) Program. Rallin has a diverse educational background spanning three continents. He completed his undergraduate studies in Bombay, India and his Ph.D. in English Studies with a concentration in rhetoric and composition at Ohio State University. He has also studied at Oxford University in England. Most recently, he taught at the University of Southern California, CSU Chico, and Temple University. Rallin described his ideas about the function of Cal State San Marcos' GEW program. He views writing and reading as interdependent activities that promote intellectual inquiry and growth. He said he sees writing to learn is not only the process of advancing a claim, but also a "process of knowledge-making, and a device for demystifying the powers invested in discourse." Rallin is interested not only in providing students with critical skills that will be of use to them in other university classes, but also in encouraging students to assume the role of public intellectual, and to intervene in public debates about the role of the uni- "I hope to help cultivate this awareness by icomplicating students' thinking rather than simplifying it." versity. Towards that end, he said that he feels it is essential for students to understand the many layers of complexities withijti any text or dialogue and he said he hopes to help cultivate this awareness by "complicating students' thinking rather than simplifying it." He used the GEW program as an example of the university's efforts to strengthen students' writing. He said, however, that he would like to see the university fortify its commitment to writing by allocating more resources to writing instruction. As an example, CSUSM's GEW classes have a maximum enrollment of 20 students; the maximum enrollment of the comparable first-year writing course at UCSD is 12. "Since there is no debate about the benefits of smaller classes for students, we have our work cut out for us," said Rallin. One wish Rallin has is office space for the GEW instructors. "I understand that space is at a premium on this campus, but it is a disgrace to the university that our GEW instructors have no institutional space to call their own." The GEW program has 11 instructors who are graduate students in the Literature and Writing Studies master's program, and the instructors teach more than 400 students. . He said he hopes that CSUSM will be able to keep pace with national trends by developing and requiring all the students an advanced writing course. Rallin's research interests include contemporary rhetoric and theories of composition; queer theory; feminist theory; postcolonial studies; and experimental writing, film and video. �^fie Cry Heard'(Round the W/orC UCSD's student government held a candelight vigil on Thursday. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Amidst the screams of revenge and anger from some Americans as a result of Sept. 1 l 's terrorist attack, there are also cries for peace from all corners of the world, including San Diego; many are using the Internet to get the word out. Peace activists are cutting across all barriers. From Democrat, to Republican, to Green Party and Socialist; from black, white, Arab; Muslim, Buddhist, Christian; from American, Asian, to Middle Eastern and others, people are gathering in every city and country to oppose violence. Local Activism The threat of war and recent racist attacks and discrimination against Arab, Muslim, and Middle Eastern communities has led many activist organizations to create a unified front. Almost 150 people, many of them from different San Diego peace organizations, and individual activists, created the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice (SDCPJ) on Sept. 17 to mourn victims, speak out against terrorism, war, racist scapegoating, and to defend civii liberties. The group came together in only four days. Activist San Diego used their e-mail system to spread the word. "E-mail is a big factor in being able to turn people out and communicate so fast. This is the first big mobilization we've had that used e-mail," said Carol Jahnkow from the SDCPJ. Activist Jake Hayden said, "This is a historic moment. The formation of the coalition is a good thing." The organization has held three meetings, and will continue to meet every Monday. The coalition is in the middle of forming a mission statement, but the present draft states, "Modern warfare causes injuries and death t o civilian populations as surely as terrorism does. Military retaliation and revenge will not stop terrorism, but will only kill innocent people and inspire f urther acts of -terrorism. We must adhere to the highest moral principles — employing global dialogue and justice to end the violence." At the first meeting, several committees were formed to address each issue. The committees divided into categories such as hate crimes prevention, artists, campus/students, civil liberties, educators, media, emergency response, religious outreach and public education. The religious outreach and the education committees teach conflict resolution and embrace some people down to this forum peace ideas in the Sunday school with fliers and contact lists to classrooms.

The coalition has plans for more vigils and other events and has handed out informational flyers on their meetings all over San Diego. They also continue to distribute flyers about emergency response to military action. If the U.S. government begins military action, they plan to meet that day at 5 p.m. at Horton Plaza, between 3rd and 4th Street. "I'm very encouraged at how the San Diego progressive/peace community has responded so fast," said Jahnkow. versities came together at the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning, a Pittsburgh landmark. More than 600 students f rom Carnegie Mellon, Chatham, and Duquesne marched to the University of Pittsburgh's campus. "Speakers and demonstrators emphasized that this was not an anti-American protest," said Quinten Steenhuis, a student activist and organizer of the demonstration f rom Carnegie Mellon University. "Students sang along to the national anthem, carried flags, and even addressed the issue directly^ ' We consider ourselves the true patriots,' said one speaker. Democracy means questioning our government when it is about to j ump into a rash action. America is our government, yes, but more importantly it is the people who make up our country, and we are citizens that are convinced escalating the violence is not the way to respond." The Student Peace Action Network (SPAN), in association with local campus organizations, held actions at 105 colleges throughout the nation last week. SPAN has chapters on 42 college campuses and a presence in 80 Student Activism in San Diego Elsewhere in San Diego, stu|dent activists are reaching out to other student organizations to extend their solidarity. Vigils and forums are being held at all San Diego campuses and many students are forming student coalitions under the umbrella of SDCPJ. At CSUSM, The Pride helped | sponsor a forum with the College of Arts and Sciences to discuss the issues and to speak out against racial discrimination.

"Peace Action chapters across the country, along with local peace groups, have organized vigils, demonstrations and educational events that have drawn crowds of thousands. Peace groups around the nation are being flooded with calls and e-mails from concerned citizens who want to get involved," said Scott Lynch, spokesperson for Peace Action Network. Peace Action is one of the nation's largest grassroots peace and disarmament organizations. Before Sept. 11 there were 85,000 members nationwide, but many more have joined in the past few weeks.

On Sept. 24, President George W. Bush ordered that all financial connections to possible terrorist organizations be examined, and any assets allegedly linked to these organizations be frozen. In an attempt to cut off any money that aids the terrorist groups, Bush has warned all institutions that control money. "We're putting banks and financial institutions around the world on notice," said Bush: "If they fail to help us by sharing information or f r ee zing accounts, the T r ea s u r y Department now has the authority to f reeze their banks' assets and transactions in the United States." Bush has also asked for help from the citizens of Afghanistan, who he said he believed "may be tired of having the Taliban in place," to assist in the efforts of bringing the parties responsible for the attacks to justice. In a White House interview, White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said, "According to the United Nations charter, the United States has the right to defense." The U.S. is acting on that right and has deployed a substantial military force that continues to assemble in the Persian Gulf. The Persian Gulf is a body of water situated between Iran and Saudi Arabia. It is accessible through the Arabian Sea and gives the United States and the coalition of forces the best tactical access to Afghanistan and the Middle East region. It will take time to find out exactly when the U.S. formally goes to war. "We're not leaping into this, we're moving into it in a measured way," said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, according to CNN reports. Although not labeled a war, the U.S. response is now called "Operation Enduring Freedom." It was changed f rom the initial title "Operation Infinite Justice" because the Muslim faith only uses the word infinite to describe acts associated with God. On Friday, U.S. officials substantiated earlier reports f rom the Pakistani press that have alluded to special forces already operating 1 in Afghanistan, which initially began as early as the day following the attacks on the U.S. The units are made up of small groups of U.S. and British soldiers, and they are gathering intelligence, and mapping the area for later military action, as well as attempting to find Osama bin Laden, the chief suspect in the recent attacks and a known terrorist. know about for themselves that will be publicly discussed. But it is also the nature of this first war against terrorism that there may be areas that people do not know about. And I 'm just not going to go beyond that in discussing anything that is operational like that. "They're there quietly, unseen, behind the scenes, establishing locations of people and things that will be used in military campaigns later," Shepperd said. "They don't get a lot of credit for this. We don't talk a lot about it, but they're always part of any military operation." Although the administration is still in the planning stages of action, there is some, but not all, worldwide support. Palestine, Britain, Russia, and Saudi Arabia are among the nations that have pledged support for the U.S. response to the terrorist actions. Some nations have pledged the use of air space, and others have given the U.S. the f ree use of their air bases. Russian President Vladimir , Putin said he has support for "building an international coalition" and gave the U.S. "permission for humanitarian over flight." In Saudi Arabia, the U.S. has been granted permission to use Prince Sultan Air Base, a central location, to launch air strikes on Afghanistan.

RYAN SANDAHL For The Pride and son who get what they both need so badly: each other. Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins also pulls off a fabulous and graceful performance in the film. He plays Tad,^ an elderly man that moves into the house above Bobby's. We later discover that Ted has psychic gifts, and is able to see into someone's past and also predict the future. Legendary screenwriter William Goldman adapted "Hearts in Atlantis." Goldman, who also adapted the screenplay for "Misery," another King novel, turns King's short story into a wonderful tale for all audiences. This f ilm has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA and has a running time of 100 minutes. Adapted from Stephen King's novel of the same name, "Hearts of Atlantis" is the first Oscar-worthy film in years. Scott Hicks ("Shine") directs the film with a quiet subtleness that reminded me of Rob Reiner's "Stand By Me." With brilliant performances and wonderful cinematography, "Hearts in Atlantis" delivers a tale about how human beings change. The f ilm begins with Bobby Garfield (played by David Morse of "The Green Mile"), a photographer who receives a package in the mail. He finds a baseball glove in the package, with a note telling him that his friend, Sully, died. Bobby returns to his hometown and finds out that his other friend, Carol, also passed away. Deeply saddened, Bobby goes to his childhood home and remembers when he was 11, living with his single mother (Hope Davis of "Mumford"). Anton Yelchin ("Along Came a Spider") plays the younger Bobby. His mother is a woman concerned only with personal gratification and could care less about her child; this is evident when she gets her son a f ree library card for his birthday instead of the new bike that he Anthony Hopkins,"Hearts ofAtlantis" always wanted. The f ilm goes (Courtesy Photo/imdb.com) on to tell the story of one mother John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale in "Serendipity." (Courtesy Photo/imdb.com) Sweet Serendipity By A NN BENING Pride Staff Writer "Serendipity" was a surprise worth watching. John Cusack ("High Fidelity", "Grosse Pointe Blank", "Say Anything") and Kate Beckinsale ("Pearl Harbor", "Brokedown Palace", "The Last Days of Disco") were absolutely adorable together in this romantic comedy set in downtown New York City in the fall. "Serendipity" unfolds with Jonathon (John Cusack) in New York, out and about, t rying to find a g ift for his girlfriend. Both Jonathon and Sara (Kate Beckinsale) are drawn toward the same pair of "Magical Gloves." The "meeting of the gloves" leads to Thinking about a — STER'S DEGREE, LAW DEGREE, PhD, or MD?

The only problem - Sara doesn't believe in taking many risks or chances. She believes that everything in life happens for a reason, and she expects fate to take control of their f uture. This to the dismay of Jonathon, who's led on the scavenger hunt of a lifetime. If they are meant to be together, Sara tells him, they will find their way. Jonathon's goofy yet endearing friend, played by Jeremy Piven ("Ellen"), accompanies him on a wild goose chase f ull of ups and downs, f urther proving the point that men love to make, "Women are highly com- plex and wake up every morning with the intent to drive u s all crazy," according to the film The best thing about "Serendipity" is the fact that it's not a romantic comedy geared only toward women.. In evidence of the laughter coming from the row behind me (three laughing males), "Serendipity" relates very well to the male perspective. I completely enjoyed this film that was rich in both romance and comedy. It can be related to both the men and women's point of view.

When I met with re-entry students across campus, it brought me a clearer understanding of what they bring to CSUSM, and how they have opportunities waiting as they travel their educational path. One fellow student, Richard Hunt, was unsure of his major before he began his higher education. Then he re-enrolled and said he would "take an active role in what (he) wanted (his) life to become." He is focusing on getting his bachelor's in literature and writing studies. After he gets his bachelor's, Richard plans to study at a liberal arts college in Colorado for his master's, and someday teach at the collegiate level. Another fellow student, Darlyne Gensel, majors in business management, with an emphasis in higher technology. She learned about the business major at CSUSM from a friend. Darlyne explained that, at any age or any degree of knowledge, someone returning to school can achieve what HA VE AN OPINION? You might have heard the myth that nothing is forever, but since you're smart enough to read my column you probably realize the Grateful Dead, cockroaches, and of course government bureaucracy not only live forever, but they get larger as time goes on. On the early morning of September 11, 2001 and in the time since, we as a country have wanted nothing more than retribution for the atrocities carried out on my hometown of New York City, my friends, and my countrymen. But when I heard of the government's plans to create a cabinet -level position the Office of Homeland Security my stomach cringed, at the thought of bureaucratizing our fight with terrorism. In this time of great national unity, please pardon my cynicism, but the government's record with "the war on..."is deplorable. The war on drugs, the war on poverty, and other failed ideological wars the government has waged are a clear indication the government is incapable of combatting its ego; let alone the The Pride Co-Editor Co-Editor Opinion Editor Feature Editor Graduate Intern Assistant Editor FWS Worker Advisor Melanie Addington Victoria B.

She finances her education with student loans. In my view, student and faculty are responsible for working together, and for building upon one another's strengths and weaknesses to understand how they may u nify the school to serve the needs of all. At this time, this blessed nation of ours is greatly tested, and we are asked to unite in an act of love. If we think of those who also walk with us here on campus, we should reflect on how we may work together. A true blessing brings fruit when we look back at the steps we took in life, and change our problems of a nation. Our government should leave wars to the men and women who know how to win 'em. Here is the crux of my problem: anytime government steps in and declares war on anything, the onslaught of bureaucratic mess to follow is about as problem-solving as a runner shooting himself in the foot before running a marathon. Just maybe it is time that grandiose gestures are replaced with efficient and accountable actions that yield the objectives we set out to accomplish. Instead of setting up another department to deal with terrorism, congress should reinstate the House Committee on Un-American Activities with the jurisdiction of hunting down terrorism cells in the United State, and be given the authority to cut off the terrorist's domestic fundraising gravy train. Rather than vowing to rid the world of terrorism through declaring war, a noble but not feasible goal, the United States should repeal the executive order that prohibits assassinations. Then we should proceed to unremittingly eliminate the blood- thirsty leadership of violent terrorist organizations one by one. As we systematically accomplish that goal Osama Bin Ladin, Saddam Hussein, Yassir Arafat and their misguided comrades will disappear when they realize that their declarations of holy war against the United States, and other democratic nations, are their self-written death certificates. The grand symbolism of a declaration of war will serve at best ineffective when we go after an enemy with no country, and no capitol. Further it gives credibility to any enemy who does not deserve it. Are Bin Ladin, and his type a credible threat to the United States? Not a chance; terrorists are like termites, they only pose a threat when they are ignored. We do not need a long, drawn-out war with rogue terrorists, we need leadership that will deploy our special forces to leave the corpses of terrorism to rot in the desert, and a federal government focused on national security, not social security and farm subsidies. submitted via electronic mail to The Pride electronic mail account, rather than the individual editors.

The Pride Opinion Editor Speaks Out By LISA LIPSEY Pride Opinion Editor Recently The Pride and its editors were criticized by Jared Hines, Frater of Tau Kappa Epsilon and student Tami Illingworth. As one of the writers of the "erroneous [opinion] article" entitled "Students Respond Differently to Tragedy," I would like to clarify some issues. First off, the article was an opinion piece, not an editorial. It is illogical to assume that an article written for the opinion page by one or more editors is the voice of The Pride editors and staff as a whole. It is unjust to criticize The Pride for the opinion of two students. When there is an opinion that all editors and the most of staff writers agree upon, it is written into our editorial by the "unsigned majority." Secondly, there is a clear difference between a news piece and an opinion piece. 111ingworth wrote, "The job of journalists is to present news in a professional and unbiased manner to allow for the reader to come to their own conclusions." We did not break this code of journalistic values. Our piece was not news. It was clearly biased in nature, as all opinions are, and was placed on a page labeled Opinion.

We apologize; it was clearly unfair for Claudia and me to blame the fraternities as a whole for the actions of five or eight fraters working to recruit new members on Tuesday, September 11. Also, I have yet to find any articles that match Hines' statement from his opinion piece entitled, "Open Your Eyes, Not Your Mouth." He wrote "The Pride seems to have a history of attacking the Greek system..." In my opinion, this is an unwarranted attack on our student newspaper. Open your eyes; in a recent issue of The Pride, dated Tuesday, September 4, the Greek system made front page news as major participants in the set-up and success of Welcome Week Festivities. Lastly, I would like to remind readers to look at all opinion pieces with a certain level of skepticism (including this one). Clearly, opinion writing can be backed with facts and numbers, but more often it is backed by feelings, judgments, personal standards and personal values. A passion that is strongly felt An anger that is inwardly dealt Lends to a quiet f ury that strives For the blood of other lives Innocence lost under freedom's cloak Begins the darkness that evil provoked Can blind vengeance ease our pain Will it quench our thirst if brethren are slain Though we must eradicate The people who freedom, they hate With equal justice must we pay To those who mark us as easy prey Hastened lives end for all to see Will be the death of freedom's ecstasy . .. �Soccer G ame Cancelled D ue t o A bsent Referee By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer CSUSM and Utah State University men's soccer players waited an hour and 45 minutes for a referee that never showed for Friday's game. At 5:45, the teams and their few spectators left Mangrum Field, where the players were going to hold their game. Khalid Al-shafie, the CSUSM men's soccer coach, had great plans and goals for his team's performance for Friday's game. Before what never turned out to be a game, Al-shafie said, "We are going to cut from running and chasing, to holding the ball more during the game. We are also going to celebrate tonight if we score first and win." The coach and the team, however, did not have the opportunity to put this plan into action. An hour past the scheduled game time, many calls were made, and Al-shafie spoke to a representative from the Referee Association. The representative told the coach that he would try to get a referee in 15 to 20 minutes. Time passed, but no substitute referee ever showed up, and the game was cancelled. Utah State University soccer players said they were upset about not playing. "We are very upset that the referee did not show up," said Justus Loyet, a Utah State University soccer player. "We drove 16 hours to get to California." One Utah player said, "The CSUSM players were very cool. Our experience at CSUSM was good until about an hour ago." Another Utah player added, "Tell the CSUSM soccer team that they are invited to go play in Utah. The referees (in Utah) are not good, but they are punctual." "It happens," said Joseph Cafiefo, captain of CSUSM men's soccer team, referring to the referee's absence. "It is the first time that has happened to us. Technically we forfeit, b ut if it is not reported it does not count." According to Al-shafie, the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) is responsible for contracting the referees for the soccer games. After the incident, the coach spoke with Susana Gonzalez, interim Executive Director for ASI, and Brad Schmidt, ASI Club Technician. Al-shafie said that neither he nor A SI knew what had happened. ASI told Al-shafie that they would find out what went wrong, and would update him on Monday. The Pride contacted ASI during the weekend for comments, but was unable to obtain any information from ASI before press time since their offices are closed on weekends. CSUSM men's soccer team, however, continues to prepare for future games and is still recruiting players. "There are a couple of players who want to join. We'll get them uniforms, so hopefully they will join us," said Al-shafie. "Whoever wants to come and join us is free to do so. It is open for anybody and you will share the experience of the Cougars on the field," said Enrique Refugio, a soccer player and junior studying psychology. The next CSUSM soccer game is against UC Santa Barbara on Oct. 7 at Santa Barbara. Another game is scheduled for Oct. 9 against UCSD at 4 p.m. on Mangrum Field, the date of the first CSUSM homecoming celebration. "We expect to win for sure, no excuses," said Refugio. Saturday, Sept. 22, the University of Utah defeated the Cougars, 3-0. The game against Pepperdine University on Sept. 21 was cancelled. Al-shafie said he hopes to reschedule the Pepperdine game soon. G olf S eason: Women's and Men's Team Begin Again New Faces for Men's Golf By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor This year the men's golf team is filled with new faces. The team is currently made up of five freshmen and two sophomores, and there are no returning players from last year. Brett Dolch, one of the top players from last year, has taken a year off to focus on academics. Currently the team is practicing for their first tournament in October.

Addington A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth. - Charles Darwin The real test of friendship is: ' Can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy together those moments of life that are utterly simple? They are the moments people looks back on at the end of life and number as their most sacred experiences. -Eugene Kennedy Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy. On the contrary, in friendship union is more about ideal things: and in that sense it is more ideal and less subject to trouble than marriage is. -George Santayana A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. -Walter Winchell Peace Activism Sweeps Nation after Terrorist Attacks of Sept. 11 »Article cont. from pg 3 "enough people are connected in a crisis like this that a very fast global response can occur." Other peace organizations are also reaching out globally through the Internet. At the web page f or International A.N.S.W.E.R., (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism), hundreds of individuals, including former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, James L afferty of the National Lawyers Guild, Green Party U.S.A., Wolfgang Richter, the president for European Peace Forum in Germany, and more, have signed up, declar- ing their endorsement for peace. A.N.S.W.E.R. also helped organize a walk on Washington that was held on Saturday. The Washington Peace Center also held a larger walk on Sunday. The Associated Press reported that police used pepper spray to "control some protesters as they passed the D.C. convention center." It was also reported that former president Bill Clinton spoke out on behalf of freedom of speech. " 'This is America,' said Bill Clinton. 'They are welcome to say whatever they want to say . .. If the f uture of the world in the Middle East is what bin Laden wants it to be, they would not be able t o speak their mind,'" reported the Associated Press. Another web page, Pax.Protest.net provides global resources, such as web links to every peace organization, and updates on the events of organizations. For example, on Saturday activist alerts included a war protest in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and a peace vigil in London that said they will be "gathering every Tuesday and Saturday pleading for a peaceful resolution." Pax also provides information and their reasoning for requesting peace. They state that their "belief is that a non-military response is the best strategy for a permanent end to terror, because . .. we can best ensure peace, justice, and freedom worldwide. Indiscriminate killings of Afghani citizens or other innocent citizens of the globe will achieve nothing but death, and it is certain to inflame retaliation and even f urther terrorism-and it lowers us t o the level of the terrorist attackers." Also on the Internet are message board communications f rom activists. Muto Ichyo, a longtime Japanese peace activist who speaks on behalf of a Japanese peace coalition, released a declaration against the U.S. war of retaliation. "We are encouraged by voices coming f rom grieved New York people, 'Peace, not revenge!' In these voices we sense that many in New York who experienced the clashing calamity, now feeling war, bombing, and massive violence close to them, find that vengeance using overwhelming military power and the show of American force do not make amends for their grief. Voices against this war of vengeance are rising f rom peace movements and informed public of the United States. They are rising everywhere in the world," said Ichyo.

While own President Haynes is among those executives that recently received a pay raise, she is not the target of any of the CFA's criticism, unlike many other CSU presidents. Citing fraudulent spending on compensation for executives as well as unreliable data to j ustify pay raises, the CFA, Senator Yee, Assemblyman Portantino, and students plan to convene at the State Capitol to urge Governor Schwarzenegger to sign A.B. 1430 and S.B. 190 into law, legislation that will considerably reform current executive compensation policy in the CSU.

(Above) Students get signatures for a petition demanding the release of the Jena 6. As racial tension in America continues to build, students on campus voiced their opinions on the issue of racism at a protest on campus held Monday, Oct. 1. This protest was in accordance with a national student walk out to support the Jena 6 of Jena, L a. The protest's purpose was to raise awareness and get individuals to sign a petition to t he governor of Louisiana demanding the freedom of the Jena 6. In the town of Jena, La., with a population of less than 3,000, the whole story began with an incident regarding a tree. The most common version of the story is that an A frican American student requested permission to sit under an oak tree where white students usually congregated. On the morning a fter he sat there, t hree nooses were found hanging f rom a tree, a symbol for the Ku Klux Klan. According to alternative news sources, including an article carried by K FMB Channel 8, several Jena school administrators say that the tree was never strictly used by Caucasian students, and there S tudents get R.A.D. ASI and Women's Center sponsor University Police Rape Aggression Defense BY PAMELA CASTILLO Pride Staff Writer The Rape Aggression Defense System r eturns to CSUSM this October. ASI and the Women's Center are sponsoring the first twenty students that RSVP, and there is no cost for r eturning students. The program focuses on empowering women, and prepares them to b e aware of their surroundings. R.A.D. System's objective is " to develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations to t he woman who is attacked." This course for women spans over 4 sessions: October 9, 11, 16, 18. Each session r uns f rom 4 p.m.-7 p.m. This semester's instructors are Officer McLean, Officer Panza, CSO rep. Casey Burns, Student Health rep. Cathy Nguyen, and CSUSM Foundation rep. Sarah Derho. Officer McLean explained, "We teach concepts as tools for women to put into their toolbox. We o ffer them choices, should they ever be faced with an assault situation." According to R.A.D Systems (http:// www.rad-systems.com), over 250,000 women have taken this course. Lawrence N. Nadeau founded the program in 1989, and since then the program has grown to be the largest organization of its kind. A s Officer Panza explained, CSUSM has offered the course since the summer of 1996. Instructors have taught the course to students, teachers and faculty here, as well at other institutions. CSUSM graduate student Lissa Lim took the course in 2004. Sharing her experience, Lissa explains that she learned to be more assertive. " I learned a lot and gained confidence in my ability to defend myself. It was great! Each woman learned that it doesn't matter if you're big or small. We were all able to use what we had learned, successfully." Lissa also described the simulations at the end of the course in which, instructors wearing padded suits would act out attack scenarios while students practiced defending themselves. The course emphasizes awareness, prevention, and basic defense techniques. Officer McLean stated, "we teach individuals to heighten their awareness level."

Followingthe spread o fthe news spread amongst UVA residents and CSUSM students throughout the week, over the weekend THE PRIDE of $29, 775 from the Board of Trustees despite "a resounding vote of no confidence from the faculty (78% voted "no confidence"), a student petition for no confidence in the president, and revelations that he has used his position to help hunters shoot endangered species in Africa." Similarly, President of Sonoma State, Ruben Arminana, got a $28,113 raise in spite of a "no confidence vote" vote by threequarters of the faculty. Fresno State University President, John Welty, recipient of a $35,011 raise, received his raise just after his school lost a pivotal gender discrimination lawsuit, costing Fresno State $5.85 million. The report also accuses the CSU Administration of "golden parachute" deals, which involves generously compensating departed administrators even after they stop working, otherwise known as "no show jobs". Former CSU Monterey Bay President left his job in 2005 for a six-figure job at UNESCO and was left on the CSU payroll for a year after his departure, earning $157,932 for literally no work. Even after executive compensation reforms, "retiring CSU Dominguez Hills President James Lyons received a check for $103,460 on his way to a new job in Maryland" according to CFA's report. The CFA also attacked the CSU executive compensation policy from a different angle, identifying discrepancies in the salary comparison study that suggested a 46% salary lag for CSU executives. This study, kndwn now as the Mercer study, formed the basis for Chancellor Reed's proposal at the last Board of Trustees meeting, a proposal that ultimately resulted in the latest round of executive pay raises. The CFA, with the help of Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, recently called for the CSU to disclose the entire Mercer report. They also released a report critical of the parts of the study that are public, claiming, "at least three issues raise serious questions about the conclusions drawn by Mercer and acted upon by CSU officials." Among these issues, the report cites some factors not calculated in the Mercer study, including the monthly $1,000 car allowance and the $50,000-$60,000 yearly housing allowance which is more than some CSU faculty salaries. This evidence leads the CFA and others to question thé accuracy of the perceived salary lag. This report also identifies the unnecessary confidentiality ofthe report, which the CSU Administration and Mercer identify as "trade secrets". Meanwhile, the CFA and Assemblyman Portantino maintain, "compensation surveys should be transparent, not proprietary." Assemblyman Portantino said, "it is absolutely absurd that a public institution refuses to provide information to the public they are serving and I am calling on them to, once and for all, release the entire report." The Chancellor's O ffice has not o fficially responded to the latest reports and criticisms, but he has maintained his support of the data found in the Mercer study. a j ury of all-white after two hours of deliberation. The verdict has since been overturned by a court of appeals, which stated that he should never have been tried as an adult. A police r eport was never f iled for the noose incident, and t he students in question received p unishment t hrough the school's j udiciary system, but were not expelled. According t o several news sources, some members of the c ommunity agree with the school's s uperintendent that the nooses were j ust a p rank. Reactions throughout the country have been varied. Over 20,000 people marched in Jena to protest racial injustice. Knowledge of the situation in Jena, and response to it, had remained small here on campus until quite recently.

In Vista, an inquiry about holding a Mexican Independence Day celebration was met by this comment from the head of the chamber of commerce: "Absolutely not. This would be divisive. Can you imagine how the Minutemen will react?" The Escondido City Council voted to ban renting living space to illegal immigrants, a law later overturned in the courts after two million dollars were spent on legal fees. "I found out [about Jena] through YouTube about six months ago and after taking a class on social injustice in the judicial system, I researched more about the Jena 6 and realized how the theory in that class pertained to an actual event...I just couldn't sit there when injustice went on," said campus protest organizer Diana Wong. an announcement appeared on the inside doors of the UVA stating that the alleged ban on Harry Potter was a hoax. According to UVA staff, the announcement of the ban was designed to ignite student interest in a program on banning books and censorship. According to Mike Sapp, treasurer of the Resident Hall Council, "It was a hoax just to get people interested; because nothing else worked... it had been planned before school started." Freshman David McFarlane, a UVA resident, said, "It's defi- nitely a way to get attention, especially the way they made the letter look official. But I'm sure it pissed some people off." Censorship is a fairly solemn subject. In this case, it spells out an effective advertising opportunity for the UVA. filli llllllllllllil mereiai $mmptí$m I right t o jreject 'my adventeii^v -1 ~* / Pride ; is- " publist^; weekly ; m ^ e&days during a eademlcfpk, í>&frÍbiK I l e Frille Cal State San Mateos Xwm Valley l is: É i i l l ck mmmm ali i I li: Email: ¡lili pñé^cmmMn http://www. thecsmmpride. com Advertising Email: ^mtW'im^ 1 Burglary.

The Chargers needed to set things straight Sunday. Coming off of two tough losses on the road, a home match-up against a mediocre Kansas City Chiefs team was supposed breathe fife into the struggling Chargers, and give fans something to cheer about. Qualcomm Stadium was buzzing with anticipation prior to Sunday's start. The support was greeted as early as the Chargers posted the first ten points of the game. With an early Nate Kaeding field goal and an impressive LaDainian Tomlinson rushing touchdown, made possible by a Philip Rivers pass to Wide Receiver, Vincent Jackson for 39 yards. The Chiefs got on the board early in the second with a 21-yard field goal by Dave Rayner. With 6:55 left in the second, Nate Kaeding kicked season best, 51-yard field goal, to improve the Chargers lead to 13-3. Kaeding struck again at the end of the second quarter with yet another field goal, this time for 38 yards. With Kaeding's field goal, the Chargers took a 10 point lead into half time, appeasing fans until Kansas City struck hard in the third quarter. Up to date SOCCER*^ RESULTS* Just minutes after Chiefs kicker, Dave Rayner kicked a 41-yard field goal, Chiefs quarterback, Damon Huard passed to tight end, Tony Gonzalez for a 51 yard touchdown, tying the game up at 16-16. The Chiefs took the lead with 11:46 left in the fourth quarter, as Huard passed to rookie wide receiver, Dwayne Bowe, for 51 yards and the touchdown. Philip Rivers cracked under pressure with seven minutes to go in the game, giving up a fumble that was recovered by rookie cornerback, Tyron Brackenridge for a 50 yard defensive touchdown. The Chargers failed to mount a comeback in the final minutes of the game, making the final score Chiefs 30, Chargers 16. The loss pushed the Chargers to a record of 1-3, and left fans questioning the legitimacy of their new head coach, Norv Turner. Fans went as far as to chant "MAR-TY! MAR-TY! MAR-TY!" late in the game, in reference to former coach, Marty Schottenheimer, who was fired shortly after last season. Schottenheimer led the Chargers to an NFL best 14-2 record last season, but was shown the door after a series of disagreements with Chargers general manager A.J. Smith. The Chargers look to get back on the right track next Sunday, as they face the Denver Broncos, in Denver, at 1:15p.m. on CBS. Mens .

Look no further Carlsbad coast offers wine tasting as a c heap alternative to ¿the b ar h opping scene - BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer I do not think of myself as much of a wine connoisI seur. Although I do enjoy wine I am more interested in hanging out with friends and enjoying the experience. When my friend asked me a few weeks ago to try.a wine tasting in downtown Carlsbad I was suspicious. In my opinion, Carlsbad represents a spot for a few pints at the pub rather than a cultured wine tasting. In order to appease my friend and try something new I went anyway. What surprised me most was how unpretentious the experience was. I always imagined wine tasting to correspond with words like; complex, smoky yet fruity, and appealing. My friend took me to Witch Creek Winery on Grand Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. The comical man behind the bar was cheerful and unassuming. He created a welcoming atmosphere for the knowledgeable wine drinker and novice alike. He offered descriptions along with a recipe for every bottle we purchased. The wine selection wàs predominately red although there were a few whites selected, along with one cider. Walking inside the winery was like being transported toNorthern California. Walking inside the winery was like being transported to Northern California. The wood flooring added an earthy atmosphere. Witch Creek makes their own wines and is a surprisingly f un and inexpensive experience with friends.

Upon entering the winery, we felt an immediately warm and relaxed setting. The back of the store was lined with a selection of various wines and gifts, while the periphery wall was lined with domestic and imported beers. Leading out to the back patio was the bar surrounded with tables and chairs thai created an appealing atmosphere. The back patio was open and included a fountain that transported the clientele to a restaurant in the South of France. The Wine Spot offered a variety of tasting options. Fifteen dollars gave us a selection of six themed wines and six dollars for three house wines and three dollars gave us a choice of three select beers. The winery also offered pairings of cheese and BBQ with the fifteen-dollar tasting. A woman behind the bar offered us the selections of tastings and gave an explanation for each wine. The winery also provided a tasting list to make notes for future reference. The ambiance was equally approachable for seasoned wine tasters as well as beginners. For a quick getaway on a student budget I recojnmend a trip to the coast of Carlsbad and try a tasting. You may find a love for wine you never knew you had, or just enjoy the atmosphere with friends.

And according to Yesenia Diaz, president of the Oaxaca Student Organization (OSO) here on campus, it is their mission to share it within the community. "We do more focusing on our culture than advocating," she said. "We want to celebrate our traditions." The idea started from Carmelino Cruz, a '05 CSUSM alum and friend of Diaz, and in September of last year, the Student Life and Leadership Offices approved the organization. Now a year later, the group has approximately 15 active members as well as a handful of supporters here on campus. The OSO seeks to provide students of Oaxacan origin with encouragement and a sense of unity in pursuing their college educations and participating in the community as well as inviting others to learn about Oaxacan customs and traditions. Ildeberto Ojeda, who is a freshman here at CSUSM and member of the OSO, is an Oaxacan native and saw the opportunity in joining the OSO. "It's a community that encourages pursuing education and opening doors and inviting others to join as well," he said The OSO holds cultural events and takes part in the Hispanic festivities much like other Latino groups such as M.E.Ch.A and the Ballet Folklórico Tierra Caliente. Their first event was in collaboration with Main St. Oceanside that celebrated Dia de los Muertos in October of 2006 and proved to be a success in getting the group more public recognition. Other celebrations include the celebration of the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution of 1910 on November 20th as well as holidays that relate to the Oaxacan culture like Guelaguetza and the birthday of Benito Juarez who was a President of Mexico and a native from Oaxaca. "Everyone is welcome to join," said Diaz. "We want to keep our traditions and celebrate them on campus and share them within the community." The OSO meets on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. in the Library in room 2413 and welcomes anyone interested in joining.

BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer com, one of America's leading e-commerce websites announced the sale of Digital Rights Management (DRM)-free MP3s for the same price, and cheaper than the heavy hitters in the digital music market; most notably iTunes. iTunes, along with the majority of other digital music providers implement a tactic deemed necessary by many of the major record labels, called Digital Rights Management, or more casually, DRM. DRM is a method of copy protection that defends against the unauthorized duplication of a file. The most infamous implementation is that of the iTunes Music Store. iTunes uses MPEG-4 AAC DRM encoding that locks files into the iTunes player itself, and disallows users to play tracks purchased in the iTunes Music Store on any portable device other than Apple's own iPod. There are simple workarounds (i.e. burning the purchased tracks to a CD-R and reimporting), but none are as elementary as simply being able to freely move the files around. Amazon, who is among the e-commerce elite and one of the first major companies to sell goods online, has the right vision on the sale of digital music.

You know how I can tell? Because it involves a whole lot of aesthetic preparation and is usually quite p ainful. Oh, and because my grandmother thinks it's hilarious. Yeah, that's the whole checklist, so we're good to go. And so you know in advance, anything I use as an example has either happened to me or a close friend. I'm here to prepare you for the real world, and it's rough. Here's what used to take place in the Savey household. I take a shower. I shave my legs, because you never know. I get dressed, put on some make up, try to fix my hobo haircut, and go have coffee/dinner/wrist breaking skating incident. But no more. A fter the 14th guy who stared at me blankly because he didn't understand my jokes, I've got a new plan, that I've already implemented with moderate success. First of all, make it lunch. Then you don't have to worry about two horrific possibilities: being stuck with a loser face all night OR home by 8pm and stuck watching a madefor-TV movie while your grandmother laughs at you. Lunch is a deciding ground for whether an individual is worth post-5 p.m. hours. There's some quality TV on this fall and you don't want to agree to miss it until you're sure. And by sure, I mean you've already made it through lunch without him mentioning his ex obsessively, or finding out that he has a collection of Beanie Babies. Yeah, they were cute. W HEN I WAS 10. Second, I no longer get dressed and put on make up. I pick my battle gear and put on my war paint. Yes, dating was adorable and innocent in high school and maybe, if he was a real looker, you held hands by the end of the night. Now, you could end up with a guy who whips it out in the middle of Wii Golf and stares at you expectantly. Last but not least, be c areful with the hair. I personally recommend making it as large as possible. If they're intimidated by the plumage, then you will have gotten rid of another one who possesses the spine of a jelly fish. I personally use a p unk rock crest for the first date. It has a subtle, "You wanna play size? Mine's bigger," feeling about it, even if it's j ust hair. And for the love of all that is holy: Do. Not. Go. Skating. BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer On March 20, six guys with nothing better to do than make predictions about this season voiced their opinions. These six guys were Joshua Sandoval, Jeremy Albers, David Church, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn and Kyle Trembley. Now that the season is over, it is time to see how everyone did as well as make my predictions for the postseason. I'm going to start with the Easy Pick Award. Sandoval, Albers and I all predicted the obvious, Jake Peavy, for winning the "Cy Young" award. Peavy, as expected, carried the Padres to the playoffs as well as leads the league in wins, ERA and strikeouts. Peavy is most likely going to miss out of the M VP because he is not an everyday player, but his batting stats should be considered, as he had key hits for his team when the rest of the team w as lagging. The "Good Call" award goes to Trembley, who chose the Cleveland Indians to be the surprise of the season. The Indians were able to bounce back to form this season a fter failing to make the playoffs since 2001. The biggest surprise of the Indians was their battling the Boston Red Sox for best record headed into the final weekend. The "What-Were-You-Thinking" award goes to everyone in the National League and American League M VP's. Prince Fielder and Alex Rodriquez should both walk away with all the first place votes. Making our predictions about Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, David Ortiz and Vladimir Guerrero look terrible. The " Guts" award goes to Albers, and I because we're the only two not to pick Johan Santana for the "AL Cy Young" award. Although Santana will be in the r unning for the award, I don't see how,he will walk away with it. Albers' pick of C.C. Sabathia is looking good with Sabathia 5th in ERA and strikeouts and tied for 2nd in wins. My pick of John Lackey is also looking good despite a September slump. Lackey still leads the A L in ERA, tied with Sabathia in wins and is 10th in strikeouts. But with the playoffs beginning, it's time to make a few more predictions. In the A L, I believe that t he New York Yankees will remain hot and w alk away f rom t he Division Series in six g ames over t he I ndians. I w ill stick with my original prediction and have t he L os Angeles A ngels of A naheim finally b eat the Red Sox with Lackey out-pitching Josh Beckett in both g ames t o w in t he series 4-1. T he Angels will continue t o succeed against the Yankees and will walk t o t he World Series. In t he N L, I feel that the Chicago Cubs have more to prove than the young Arizona Diamondbacks, and will win the series in five games. I am going to go against my preseason prediction of the New York Mets w inning it all. I believe that the Padres will out-pitch the Mets hitting, and advance in five games. Then we will see the Billy Goat C urse go into play and watch M addux and Peavy dominate the Cubs to advance to the World Series. A s much as I don't want to say this, if the Angels do play the Padres, I do expect the Angels to r un all over the Padres. The Angels will walk with the trophy when it is all said and done, and Chone Figgins will be crowned the MVP. All comments can be sent to me at churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu.

This month, audiences will finally be able to see one such film. Based on a true story, "Into the Wild" is Sean Penn's film adaptation of a book by the same name written by novelist Jon Krakauer. "Into the Wild" is about the real life adventures of Christopher McCandless (played masterfully and intuitively by Emile Hirsch), a 1990 Emory University graduate who donated his entire savings of $24,000 to OXFAM and left his life and family behind to journey across North America into Alaska. Having assumed the alias "Alexander Supertramp," Alex meanders impulsively across the U.S. and even into Mexico* ultimately ending up in Alaska, Hirsh depicts the whimsical and freespirited nature of Alex with unrivaled honesty, and through his portrayal, endears the audience, who comes to understand Alex's reverence for the beauty of the wild. Hirsch's portrayal is genuine as he adapts to the changes Alex undergoes within the story. The entire story matures as Alex discovers himself and comes to understand what joy is, capturing the message of Christopher McCandless' story. However, it is not the depiction of Alex alone that warrants "Into the Wild" such praise. Do not be mistaken in thinking that this film is only about man's escape to nature. The heart of the film connects Image courtesy tif Paramount Vintage Left, Emilie Hirsch playing Christopher McCandless/Alexander Supertramp parts ways with Hal Holbrook playing Ron Franz in a California desert. humanity with nature in a dynamic way, emphasizing the importance of both relationships as components of happiness. Sean Penn impressively develops the complexity of Alex's character by striking an important balance between Alex's adoration of nature and the relationships he develops with the people he encounters along the way. The cinematography and photography provide a majestic backdrop for Alex's travels, generating a sanctuary for Alex's escape from his dysfunctional family, the material fixations of contemporary America, and ritualistic living. His encounters in the wild are captivating and moving.

The Theater Communication Group (TCG) is an organization that helps promote live theater in the community. Their mission is to introduce theater to the general public, especially to those not normally drawn to the arts. In 2005, TCG teamed up with the Association of Performing Arts Service Organizations to create "The Free Night of Theater" program. This year, 25 to 30 communities will be participating in the program. That is up from the 16 communities that participated in 2006. There are free tickets available for 14 productions in San Diego County. Anyone interested can reserve tickets by going to www.freenightoftheater.net. The website also includes all the productions available, their descriptions, and their venues. The Christian Youth Theater (CYT) for Kids at Mission Hills Theatre in San Marcos will participate in the program. "This is our first time participating in the program and we are looking forward to its success. CYT offers wholesome entertainment for the entire family," said Cathie Stanner, Managing Director of CYT. The theater will present 'Seussical', a musical based oil the childhood stories of Dr. Seuss. The production -will take place at the CYT Theater in San Marcos on Oct. 26 at 7 p.m.. Some other productions are: "The Turn of the Screw", "MUERTOS: A Day of the Dead Play", and "Cadenza: Mozart's Last Years" in San Diego. Other participating cities include Chula Vista, Solana Beach, Escondido, and El Cajon. College students are one of the groups targeted by the Free Night of Theater program. Live theater does not typically draw in the young crowd but with free ticket offerhope is that fact will soon begin to fade. Some product i o ns are great for the entire family. Others involve scandal and murder. Some are timeless classics while others promise a good laugh. A night at the theater could also make for a romantic date - she doesn't need to know the tickets were free.

Thus, places serving alcohol became known as speakeasies. Music and dancing flourished in the underground scene. The packaging catches the eye with sleek and sophisticated colors and designs. The cardboard container, holding six 12 ounce brown tinted glass beer bottles, depicts a couple decked out in flashy clothes entering what is most likely a speakeasy during Prohibition. A simple dark city skyline fills the rest of the available space. The bottles themselves have a pair of white eyes that are striking. The single set of eyes are placed on the upper portion of the bottle. The big brother eyes appear to be watching the consumer of the ale as most people probably felt during Prohibition. The dark bottles are capped with bold white caps with the brewery's name written across the top. The caps contain an ale with a 6.1 percent alcohol by volume. The American style amber ale pours smooth with a half inch thick head. The ale has a pleasant aroma similar to that of a garden on an early Sunday morning. It shocks the mouth first with a bold mint like taste and finishes relatively calm. Thg ale has caramel malts a ndroid hops, giving it a complexity that encpjurages the jnmcf to explore the ale.

Speakeasy Ales and Lagers brews Prohibition Ale in San Francisco, California. Steve Bruce and Forest Gray founded the brewery in 1997. They originally operated with a 1,000 barrels per year system. Within one years time, the brewery tripled production in 1998. In 2000, the brewery began to bottle their brews for retail. This created a need for a larger facility and in 2001, the brewery moved to a larger building and doubled their capacity once again. The company remains independently owned and operated. The 18th Amendment of the United States Constitution brought about Prohibition. Prohibition of alcohol, commonly known as the Dry Law, lasted from 1920 to 1933. There were approximately 1,300 American breweries before Prohibition. Only 126 breweries survived Prohibition. During Prohibition, underground alcohol sales continued.

Most of us now eat the infamous Top Ramen or, if you decide to get a little crazy, you might just splurge for fast food. Tom's Family Fun Restaurant #22 is located on San Marcos Boulevard, right across the street from San Marcos Edwards Cinema. Once again CSUSM students luck out with another great restaurant located qlpse tq the university. Depending pn h \pgruyou are, there a r^SiallFto large meals ranging frdfti $3.99 to $8.99. Tom's menu has a lot of variety ranging from Mexican cuisine to the all-American burger. What interested me the most about this restaurant is the inside dining area. It has the old setting of a 1950's dinner, but with a modern twist. In old fashioned restaurants, the waiter or waitress would come to you, but at Tom's you order at the front. To me, that is better, so when you are all stuffed, you don't have to worry about the bill. Finally, the infamous question yet again is, "Who do I go to Tom's with?" That is an easy answer, readers. The answer is anyone. You can go with your boyfriend/ girlfriend or just go out for a coffee with your classmate. Tom's- Restaurant i s-a very relaxed environment with no karaoke nights or any events. What Tom's brings to San Marcos is its convenience for any one of their customers. Whether it is a quick eat with t he use of their drive-thru or having a three-hour meal with your best friend, Tom's Family Fun Restaurant brings the comfort to you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

XXII N O. 5 T HAT'S NSIDE Local band headlining S OMA show this Friday ns fts & Entertainment Hits of Sunshine feSee Page 6 r icks & Treats p See Page 8 o p S cary M ovies BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Editor In Chief On weekend nights, the doors at SOMA open to fans of a range of musical acts from the more mainstream such as Dashboard Confessional, Panic! At the Disco, and Thrice to up-and-coming acts like Forever the Sickest Kids and Boys Like Girls. For local bands, getting the opportunity to perform at this hidden venue located across from the San Diego Sports Arena is a big step upfromjam sessions in the garage. This Friday, Oct. 23, two of CSUSM's very,own will perform with the rest oftheir band, Trains and Clouds, as the headliners at SOMA'S next show. The band's current four-man roster includes CSUSM's Philip "Felipe" Macias on guitar and Ben RofTee on bass, with locals Drew "Drewski" Carillo on drums and Jonny Paine on piano and vocals. Trains and Clouds originated back in 2007 when current members, Carillo and Paine, teamed up with two other long-time friends, Isaac Zagunis and Olin Brown. With the band formation complete, they went straight into writing music, developing a distinct sound. In typical fashion, however, the group had yet to come up with a name. During a brainstorming session, one member asked the others what they each liked doing. "One of us said 'Stare into the clouds,' while another answered, 'I like to think and gather my thoughts on trainrides,'so we put two and two together and came up with Trains and Clouds' representing thought or the thinking process," said Carillo. Shortly after the band began performing at venues such as SOMA, Zagunis and Brown opted out of the band. Remaining members, Carillo and Paine, later added Macias and RofFee to the revised group. "When Jon told me that Trains and Clouds was looking for a bassist, I asked them if I could try out," said Roffee. "I didn't have any real experience as a bassist and only very minimal bass equipment but things went well and the rest, as they say, is history." Though Trains and Clouds' Facebook page categories the band into the Indie/Alternative/Pop genre, the band members themselves are hesitant to define their sound. "I would describe the sound of Trains and Clouds as a mixture of themes rather than a handful of genres. To me, genres are silly because they are often times pinned to a certain lifestyle or counterculture," said Macias. "When that happens, fens seem to alienate themselvesfromgenres of music because „theyiJon^ associated with those who do look the part" As a guitarist, Macias' technical influences include John Mayer, Jesse Barrera (My American Heart), Justin Shekoski (Saosin), and Jonathan Paine. "In our music, there is a synthesis of a lot of different influences into something that is straightforward and relentlessly melodic. We're not some forcefully abstract, self-professed 'experimental' pretentious indie rock band," said Roffee. "There is something natural and communicative in the way we write and it seems like a lot of people have an easy time connecting to our music. We make no apologies for ambiguities in describing our music, there is so much more explained in the process of discovering it than we could ever try to iterate in words." This emerging band, with tracks such as "Oh Sailor" and "Sketch Alley Memorial," promises to show the crowd a good time this Friday. "Our music is for everybody. We try to create music for all age groups and tunes that people want to hear over again," says Macias. "The songs we write together are our favorite songs, so it's even more enjoyable when we can share them with an audience." Openers for the Oct. Images courtesy of Trams Armada, and Wintercolour. Tickets are $8.00 with doors opening at 7:00pm. "People should come out to the show because we are a band that fills the room with our energy," said Carillo. "If you enjoy a good live stow we definitely recommend coming out to our show this Friday" According to its website, SOMA is committed to "teaching new talent how to market and progress through the industry while offering a safe and energetic environment for those SOMA prides itself on exposing the community, especially local youth, to music and entertainment in a drug and alcoholfreeenvironment. The venue also supports various charities including "Stand Up Fear Kids" and "Street of Dreams: Musicians for Education." By pre-ordering tickets online through hmatiks. com, a portion of the purchase goes on to benefit "Homeless Teens of San Diego."

Not j ust the money needed to cover all the increased tuition f ees for next semester, but money for all the extraneous needs of the "holiday" season, like Halloween costumes, C hristmas presents, and Winter break vacations. Many students already have p art time j obs, but for those who are f ull-time students and need some extra cash for the holidays, there is always the option of seasonal work. When "seasonal j obs" are mentioned, the immediate thought for most of us is the guy waving signs for costume stores on the street corner. But the reality is that a number of retailers look for extra workers around this time to handle the increased customer volumes, and most don't involve wearing rubber masks. Probably the number one source of seasonal work comes f rom food retailers. Don't f ind the idea of f lipping burgers too appealing? T hat's okay; many places like Starbucks and local grocery stores o ffer viable alternatives and need people to help during the rush of Thanksgiving/Christmas customers. Positions like bagger or cashier may not seem that glamorous, but when in need of extra income there is little room to complain. Also, local pumpkin patches that spring up along San Marcos Boulevard are good places to f ind work because they inevitably become Christmas t ree lots, insuring a position up until December. Not to mention the bevy of stores, both food and otherwise, in local malls that need extra employees for the holiday r ush. Food, however, is not everyone's idea of ideal work, even in temporary situations. During the month of October, quite a few people apply to the Halloween costume superstores that seem to be springing up in the wake of stores like Circuit City and Mervyns closing for good. But there are plenty of year-round retailers looking for p art-timers as well, most notably electronics stores like RadioShack, where employees haves the chance to earn more than hourly wages with commission sales. In addition, big chain clothing stores in local malls and outdoor plazas, like JCPenney, Macys, and Nordstrom "-^•j.1 o ffer seasonal work that can lead to promotions and higher positions as time goes on. "I started out here as a cashier last November," said Chelsea Pratt, a CSUSM sophomore who works at the Nordstrom in the Westfield Mall at Escondido. "It was j ust as a parttime cashier at f irst, but now I 'm a part-time manager. So yeah, part-time j obs can d efinitely lead to opportunities to d ealing with rude customers and t heir kids all day? And on t he f lip side, you may find something you really enjoy doing and want to continue for t he remainder of your time at school. So if money's tight for you t his early into Fall, it may be t ime to bite the bullet and look for something that f its in with your school schedule.

October 1 7,2009 Hundreds of r unners and spectators descended upon Mangrum Track & Soccer Field on Saturday and watched as the CSUSM men's and women's cross-country teams won the 2009 Cougar 5K/8K Challenge! The event, which is p art of the USATF Dirt Dawg Series, took place on a winding course that started on Mangrum Field and led runners through the University's " front yard," around the dirt parking lots, up Craven Drive, and back onto the f ield. Entry was open to everyone, as local runners competed with collegiate teams f rom California Baptist, Soka Univer- sity, Southwestern (AZ), and of course Cal State San Marcos. In the 5k competition, the #2-ranked Cougar squad carried the collegiate race, taking spots 1 through 7. The team f inished in a group led by Dallon Williams, who timed in at 18:08. Cady Villarrpal and Whitney Patton f inished in 18:09, Lindsey McKown at 18:10, Jessica Sandoval at 18:19, Kelly Thompson at 18:20, and J ennifer Albright at 18:30. Also competing f or the Cougars were Suzanne Scrimenti (9th; 18:34), Melissa Olmos (10th; 18:54), Jenna Nicholl (13th; 19:44), Brooke Smith (15th; 19:56), Reyna Gutierrez (17th; 20:04), Justine Lazare (19th; 20:11), Laura Heuring (25th; 20:38), Kimberly Rowland (26th; 20:41), Claire Hauso (27th; 20:49), and Christina Cooper (28th; 21:09). CSUSM f inished with a team score of 15 - the best possible score in cross-country. Cal Baptist f inished second with a score of 50, and Soka finished third with a score of 83. Overall in the 5k competition, the race was won by Joey Bonfiglio with a time of 17:26. Former Cougar All-American Anne Marie Byrne finished s econd at 17:33, and an A llAmerican f rom last season, Morgan Sjogren, took fourth at 17:57. The men's 8K collegiate competition was much more tense, as the Cougars pulled out a narrow win over Cal Baptist. Led by Muluken Beressa and Dave Williams, who finished first and second, respectively, CSUSM pulled out a team 24 to 31 win over CBU. Beressa posted a blistering time of 24:39 to finish first among collegiate runners in the 8K, and Edwards was not far behind with an excellent 24:53. Chris Capeau took 4th with a time of 25:30, Chris Strasheim was 7th at 26:05, and Bernardo Bahena finished 10th at 26:32. The sixth and seventh spots on the team were occupied by Patrick Fitzgerald (11th; 26:38) and Casey Evans (14th; 27:21). Also competing for the Cougar men's cross-country team were Miguel Vega (17th; 27:40), Mark Shimmin (18th; 27:44), Dave Slack (20th; 28:00), Thomas Polhill (23rd; 28:35), Antonio Sanchez (26th; 29:04), and Dimitri Eraditius (29th; 30:04). In the overall 8k competition, Nazario Romero finished first at 24:27, narrowly edging out Beressa, who took second overall.

Unlike many people I know, I'm very impartial to the new film. Luckily, talking about the movie is not necessary when talking about the soundtrack. I might need to talk about it a little bit though, seeing as how this adaptation of a nearly 50-yearold, ten sentence book is a sort of magnet for indie culture. That would be a groundless assumption if it weren't for the music. Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs wrote the majority of the soundtrack. Spike Jonze, her former boyfriend, directed the film and commissioned her to write a soundtrack that reflected the innocent, yet distantly dark tone that, according to Jonze, he wanted to achieve. The band Karen O put together, Karen O and the Kids, includes Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence of The Dead Weather, Greg Kurstin of The Bird and the Bee, Yeah Yeah Yeahs bandmates Brian Chase and Nick Zinner, Bradford Cox of Deer- Bp Sané* Chalmers/AdE Eälwt i Declaration of Dependence IIÄS" [ .mNmvegiaafoikdK>,ErnkGlambekB0e- P 'tteetete a lbumfeaturesjg^m^tim&tm^ Overall ft&rsew . \: Late Night Tales imswmmL Itóník^ !

I don't think you need me to tell you this is an epic record. Now, I haven't actually seen the movie, so I unfortunately can't explain how it contributed to the film's message or atmosphere or anything like that. Unlike many soundtracks, this one is able to stand alone as what might as well be Karen O and the Kids' debut album (that's code for "I hope they end up making another one"). The first single of the 14-track album, "All is Love," was digitally released at the end of August, while the album didn't drop until nearly a month later. The feel of the music is not entirely different from anything any of these artists have released before, but it does have a certain vulnerability absent from the more in-yourface Karen O style. Karen O does most of the lead vocals that double and triple over more subtle male voices. Though riddled with tambourines and animalistic screams, the songs are focused enough to produce a successful series of fresh tracks. In a perfect world, Karen O and the Kids will keep making music like what they've made here without the incentive of backing a major motion picture. Until that world is realized, these wild tunes will help your imagination bridge the proverbial gap. /CHRISTIAN R ö C a l i Ä Ä iltteWW f KUTLESS - '§ ¡ p Mudhliketl^ sounds of RelientKand ; [ Switchfoofc, Kutíess's t mr álbum offers | o ri^iaísomidswilhamkofcl^sioworfrip can <fcTfeaturesGrammy award winning producer Bmwn Bannister, - ; Images courtesy ofamazon.com I II Ii tober 20-27 Poetic Titesäty wtth Eber Lambert A poetìc| i m ghi m Rebeefc&*s Coffeehouse m S m D iego r I dol's beloved» Adam L ambert's dad, E ber hos^by Lamberti * Mi KOD O HO m : attttges ; UpmfOtt&ges all jeweiiy, paintings, a nd sculptures a s artwork along University A venue a nd 5 t h A it Hite. $pm,aUages of Blues m Sm Diego, öie Swedish riot ¡lead singer, Maja lyarssoii, wiftbringa garage music* BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer undead.

NOPE By CHAD SPINKS Pride StaffWriter United Food and Commercial Workers, UFCW, members organized a strike against Kroger, Albertsons, and Safeway chain grocery stores that began October 13. According to the UFWC website, the strike is an effort to protect employee benefits which are being cut under a new provision. The new provisions would decrease medical benefits by half and jeopardize long term employee's pension plans. A lawsuit has been filed by UFCW Unions against Albertsons and Ralph's, who have locked out employées, for violating the California Mass Layoff Notification Law (California Labor Code: Section 1400). The law requires all employees to be given 60 days notice prior to a mass layoff. Andrea Conner stands at the entrance of the Ralph's shopping center holding a picket sign reading, "Ralph's Employees On Strike."

As the most common cancer found in women after Lung Cancer, it has been predicted that 211,300 women will develop Breast Cancer in 2003 and 44,000 American women will die this year. Because of the high mortality rate and risk for Breast Cancer, October 17 is National Mammography Day. Throughout the month of October, radiologists offer free or discounted screening mammograms. With various "pass the word' campaigns, encouragement of early detection plans, and sponsored walks such as the San Diego Stride Against Breast Cancer Walk, people have joined together to create awareness and help battle this disease. There are some risk factors that put you at a higher risk for developing Breast Cancer: 1. If you are a woman (occurs in men also, but it is very rare) 2. If you are over age 50 you have a higher chance. 3. A close family history of breast cancer (although there are a higher number of cases found in women without a history).

Nichole Hollick is a twenty-one year old student at GSUSM who is majoring in English. She sits in my Tuesday, Thursday Literature class, and like me, is originally from Temecula Valley High School. We even graduated the same year. When asked about High School, she told me that she used to want to become a veterinarian. She joined a medical academy program in High School, but soon realized that it wasn't for her. "I was like why am I doing this? I wanted to be a veterinarian!" It was by the end of high school when she realized that she didn't want to be a veterinarian anymore. She was approached by a teacher, who suggested the idea of becoming a lawyer. She was intrigued by that. " I love to argue," she explained to me, "So I was like why not become a lawyer!" When asked why she is majoring in English when she wants to study law, she explained that one has to have a bachelor's degree first, then after that, they can go to law school. «c \Tir>V»rvlo nidipH in a• orner. Nichole rushed by, apologizing, and explaining how she Was trying to change, but she had gotten locked out of the women's employee bathroom. She suspected the guys who worked there of using it, because it was cleaner. Dressed warmer, and ready to do the interview, she began by telling me about her day. Hollick nti liAr wav in to Kor on her way in t/v her biology class, she looked around for her crush. "I try to sit by the person that I like in Biology, but it never works!" Nichole laughed and said "Sometimes people sit by him, and I'm like don't sit there!" She feels like this class never participates enough, but she likes it because she enjoys group discussions. In the middle of class that day, Nichole began to feel sick. "I have an herbalist that we (her family) go to, and I realized that I hadn't taken my anti-stress pills. I had to leave and go home and take the pills." When asked why she takes herbal stress pills, she told me that the stress could sometimes be too much. "Sometimes I just want to be a fly on the wall," she explained. Nichole's Love Life: Nichole told me that she had read the articles in The Pride about speed dating, and people's f rustrations with the dating scene at CSUSM, and agreed. "People are either married, or I can't talk to them because this school's not social, but then again, I haven't been going to most events. It would be great to meet someone at school, but my main concern Nichole went home, tried going is getting good grades. I was online to check her credit card reading the articles, and was like statement again, but still couldn't god yes! I want there to be more get the information. She took events like that".

It's true, innocent car buyers often don't know where to start when buying a new car and are consequently talked into buying a car that doesn't satisfy them. An informed customer knows what he/she wants and what to expect when negotiating. ^ Know what you want. Many people buy cars before they have taken the X time to do the research on what type of car is for them. If you plan on getting married and starting a family within the next few years, that new sporty convertible probably isn't the car for you. Likewise, that used V-8 pickup might not be a good choice if your gas consumption is on a limited budget. ^ ^ ^ Know the worth of your W old car. To estimate the / value of your vehicle, J m ^ look up prices on websites such as KellyBlueBook.com or the classifieds in the local newspaper. Remember that one of the biggest profits for car dealers is their used car lot. Although it may take longer, selling your car directly makes you more money than trading it in. ^^ I Know whether new or used works best for you. Santiago Sierra, a salesperson for Hoehn Audi said, "Are you willing to take a risk buying a used car from a private individual or play it safer by buying from a dealer or do ^ younot want to have any trouble whatsoever and buy a new car?" Althougfe\used cars are more affordable, oftentimes the condition of the vehicle is unknown and the car is\ no longer under warranty. With cars that have a high retail value, it may even be cheaper to buy a/iiew car. A Know whether leasing or / I buying is best for you. ^ X i If you plan on turning in l y o u r car in 2 or 3 years, leasing would definitely be more practical than buying a car. However, commuters find the mileage limitations a burden and people who enjoy adding modifications to their car are either penalized or unable to receive extra monetary value when they return the car. M ^ Know what you want to ^ ^ ^ pay for the car. Negotiat| ing is the most important part of buying or leasing a car. Be assertive and realistic in the price you want to pay. Get bids from several different dealers, including internet sales sites such as CarsDirect.com. Hussain Mahrous, President of the San Diego chapter of Wild Horses Mustang Club said, "Pick a car that you want that's within your price range and don't let dealers push you around. Set a goal on how much you're willing to pay and don't let a dealer screw you over." to know your credit so you have an idea when the dealer discuses APR rates and the down payment of the fairness of the rates you're offered." You can get your credit report online from equifax.com, or truecredit.com. the car you're going to get, look at consumer reports. Compare mechanical performance and the reliability of the car. Also, look into the performance and safety and rate it in terms of what's important to you." According to Talebi, it is essential that consumers understand what qualities are valuable to them. The New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) rates cars in terms of safety while magazines such as Car and Driver contain numerous articles on performance. Know the best time to buy f a car. Clark Overstreet, a / car salesmen veteran of / 15 years, said, "One of the best times to buy a car is the end of the year because generally that's the time dealers are getting rid of cars and offering discounts."

Dealers typically make money in three ways: from the trade in, the new car, and the after-market sales such as extended warranties and body kits. Car dealerships receive rank and rewards based on volume and annual increase in sales; they want to sell their cars. By researching the type of car and deciding on how much to pay for it, you should be prepared to stand your ground and haggle with the best of them. Knowledge of the car and of what you want is the key to being a satisfied consumer. �S ports Editorial: David Bofiton Ombudsman's Notes By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman There is quite a bit of news happening right now in California from the recall of Governor Davis and the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger t o- the labor dispute between the United Food Commercial Workers and their management at local grocery stores. These are hot topics that which people have strong opinions particularly because they are politically and ideologically charged. With that being said, The Pride is resolved to provide a balance on these and other important issues. These are issues that should encourage, if not demand, reader feedback. In doing some research into other ombudsman columns in major papers, it is obvious that it is quite difficult to keep everyone content with coverage that is provided. This is an unfortunate consequence of news reporting on issues that are divisive. Some readers go as far as to dig out an undertone in articles which they believe proves a bias favoring one side or the other. I have not received any complaints accusing The Pride of political alliances or choos- By TIM JOHNSON Pride StaffWriter ing favorites, but it is possible. We, of course, do not have the reader base of a major city newspaper. Therefore, the number of responses I receive is limited, but all the while crucial since The Pride is here to provide information to the readers. Since there are many issues that affect us all if for no other reason than geographic proximity, I want to know your thoughts on them and your comments on our coverage. The email, as always, is dolan005@csusm.edu. San Diego Chargers wide receiver David Boston made an impressive showing on Sunday's 21-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars with 181 receiving yards, 12 catches and two touchdowns. He also apologized to the team, coaches, fans, and franchise about his behavior since he signed with The Chargers on a -seven year contract. This does not mean that Boston won't strike at the bolts again. He has already been suspended for simply not showing respect or dedication to the team. He missed important team meetings that players were required to attend. He lost his temper and yelled at members of Corrections forVol. XI No. 5 In the article "Adventure Center has f un . ..

He did not learn from his first experience and got a second, meaning he may get more D.U.I.'s in the future. The Chargers will not let that slide and take disciplinary action. This may take him out of more games, practices and helping the bolts get into the winners bracket. Boston has plenty of talent and muscles to be a great football player, however, has an attitude and hard head to be another Ryan Leaf. Let's hope that Boston is not compared to the unsatisfying quarterback when all is said and done and just helps the Chargers get a few wins this season.

I am in upper division classes and it seems that almost every other woman is married. Then the ones that don't have a ring on, you have no idea whether or not they have a boyfriend. For a lot of guys they don't want to be disrespectful and just start hitting on a girl without knowing if she has a boyfriend or not. Then I have heard a lot of women say that all they want is a nice guy, but usually it is not the nice guy that is going to walk up and hit on you. He is going to be the BfcPN u e t y DID m d w r r LAimp SAX Editor one that sits in class and just talks to you and asks you how your weekend was. What guys are looking for varies between guys but most guys are not looking for a supermodel. They might be nice to look at but men do want someone who is an equal and just someone they can have f un with. I am a 22 year old single male on campus and I am not looking for the superficial girl. I am looking for someone to go out dancing with or watch a movie with or just go out to dinner and talk. I think women expect too much out of the men on campus and if they are frustrated about not meeting good guys the> should start approaching men Most of the men I have talked think it is much easier when woman approaches them. So if you ladies are really looking foi someone, start going up to the guys and talk to them. You jusl might be surprised.

G houls & s keletons r eady to s care all w ho are brave e nough to v enture d owntown By SHARON BAYRON Pride StaffWriter Those looking for a truly thrilling evening need look no further than Frightmare on Market Street in downtown San Diego. Located in the heart of the Gas Lamp District, Frightmare on Market Street is as chilling as its name implies. People of all ages are lining up, anxiously awaiting to be scared, and indeed, Frightmare delivers. A ghostly, emaciated gatekeeper wishes its participants "good luck" as they descend into a dungeon like hole. The screams of the brave group already navigating the maze can be heard at the entrance, adding to the suspense in the air. A mixture of dim lighting, bloody figures, and denSe fog all feed the apprehension of the unsuspecting crowds. Around each corner lies a frightening surprise, and each step leads into a different horrific scene. The groups of people that enter this haunted labyrinth may enter individually. Most groups exit the maze intertwined and linked at the arms, gripping their unknown neighbor with a panicked clutch. As the maze progresses, the scenes become increasingly intense, and by the time the maze ends, thrill seekers are literally running up the exit stairs and into the safety of the well lit street above. Frightmare on Market Street will run for the remainder of October until November 1. Tickets for the haunted maze are $12.99 and may be purchased directly at the box office on Market Street, or online at www .frightmareonmarketstreet.com, and group rates are available at the online site. Frightmare runs Friday and Saturday, from 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. and Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. During the weekends, this attraction becomes fairly crowded, so those planning to buy tickets at the box office should plan to get there early. If the line to get in looks discouraging, don't worry. Music is provided by local radio stations outside while you wait. Also beware of the occasional bloody ghoul who has been known to come up from "underground" to startle unsuspicious guests.

The dance troop combines dance, music, and storytelling with the sacred traditions, cultural heritage, and immense history of African Americans, and African people worldwide. Choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, founded Urban Bush Women in 1980. Since then, she has created almost 40 dances, including her choreography for Urban bush Women, and her creation of HairStories. According to the Urban Bush Women website, HairStories is a production which.. "explores the concept of nappy hair and itsr relationship to images of beauty, social position, heritage and self-esteem." The production also focuses on the intense debate in the African American community about the politics of hair. HairStories was inspired by moments in the choreographer's own life, as she herself battled with these very same issues. The group is going to perform excerpts from one of their famous works entitled HairStories here at CSUSM on November 10 at 6:00 pm in the Arts center room 111.

BY SANDRA CHALMERS Pride Staff Writer As Southern Californians collectively remember the one-year anniversary of the devastating October 2007 wildfires, students and the community recap their experiences and emotions over the catastrophic events that displaced more than 500,000 Southern Calif, residents. The 2007 October firestorms involved more than 23 scattered wildfires within Southern California. More than 1,700 homes crumbled to ashes and approximately 330,000 acres burned. The closest fire to CSUSM was the Coronado Hills fire that stretched into the San Elijo Hills and the Witch fire that began in Ramona and grew into an inferno that claimed two lives as reported by the North County Times. Now, one year later, CSUSM student, Marilyn Salisbury, recalls how last year's fires hit close to home. "I lived in Oceanside at the time and I was recovering f rom surgery. Watching the television was how I got my information and on the bottom of the screen they passed houses that had been lost and I saw my old address in Rancho Bernardo listed as a lost home. It was such a p ainful feeling." Salisbury previously lived there for three years. Salisbury, originally f rom the Midwest, mentioned that last October's fires were the first time she experienced ashes falling f rom the sky, "It was like Photo by Sandra Chalmers / The Pride See Fires, Page 5 International Education Week Weeklong events to promote advantages of study abroad E ducational Effectiveness Review a campus wide e ffort Phase three of WASC accreditation continues JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor BY TIFFANIE HOANG Copy Editor Oct. 20-24, 2008 - International Education Week (IEW) is a weeklong event that promotes the importance and advantages of international education and exchange.

Advertising Email: pride_ads@csusm.edu com A solution to high parking prices As redundant as it may be t o revisit the issue, parking permit prices have been a focal point of student dissatisfaction for years now. The fact that this problem has sustained for so long suggests that it is time for CSUSM Parking Service to reevaluate its policies regarding parking permit prices. As it currently stands, the fee program leaves many of CSUSM's current students footing the bill for a parking structure that they may never get the chance to use. And though it is true that students now enjoy parking paid for by our predecessors, the mystery lies in why the prices for such a basic service must rise at such unprecedented rates. Parking Services have given many answers to this, but none of them get to the heart of the question. It is true that Parking Services is self-sufficient and operates financially independent of the school, essentially making parking permits as the primary sources of revenue for parking programs. The cost of new parking projects get more expensive as time passes and so it is expected that prices should increase accordingly. In as much as students can understand the need to pay for this vital service at a rate that reflects increasing costs, the underlying reasoning behind the In theory, once all of these current system of parking permit increases abuses the fairness of projects have been paid off and construction completed, the cost such a system. Parking permit increases at of permit prices should drop CSUSM have far outpaced infla- dramatically. We would like to tion and rising construction costs, believe that parking expansion making it difficult for current stu- will not be an infinite endeavor, dents to understand why they are which means that at some point paying so much more than previ- students in the f uture should be paying less than students do now ous students. Comparatively speaking, as these parking projects wind CSUSM students pay f ar-more down. However, a payment plan like than students nearby and across California. Parking Services this places a disproportionate attributes this to the newness of financial responsibility on current our campus, but how much will students who will have inherited this argument carry when we are an unfair share of the monetary no longer a young campus and all burden for parking programs. Instead of graduating payof these projects are paid o ff? ments, the system should embrace a long term method of paying for these projects that flattens out parking permit rates indefinitely. It is in this manner that parking projects can be paid for more equitably, with the only increases in permit prices being to account for inflation. It is both u nfair and impractical to expect students to assume such a large financial responsibility for parking if such a responsibility is not fairly distributed. For this reason, it is critical that Parking Services reevaluate its permit pricing policies in the f uture to ensure fairness and cooperation.

HA HA HA The resurgence of the Western BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer The past few years have a brought a revival of the Western genre in A merican films. The recently released " A p p a l o o s a" owes its success to Westerns f rom the past few years that have put new life in the genre. Not only is the Western back, but i t's t aking new shape as well. The Western film has always been p art of A merica's identity. In the early stages of films, Westerns were f requent in most m ajor film studios. Yet, in the , late 1980's, there was a diminishing amount of interest in films by directors such as Clint Eastwood. The Western almost came back in the early 1990's with "Unforgiven," which won the Oscar for best picture, but the revival would have to wait. The Western laid dormant for years until it recently began creeping back into mainstream cinema. In 2008, a hybrid film containing heavy Western influence once again won best picture. The Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men" proved the genre still had strength. Leading up to this, the Western took new shapes in other setting and genres. In 2006, the Western, which has p rimarily been set in A merica, came out of Australia with stunning force. " The Proposition" contained all the elements of an American Western such as outlaws, j ustice, and gunfights, but it was unique because of its setting in the land down under. The film is high caliber standing on its own and revitalized interest i n the genre. The Western also went into deep space in the TV show " Firefly" and its spinoff movie, "Serenity." Though these works appear to be sci-fi, narrative and stylistic elements mark them as Westerns. They showed that the Western could be popular anywhere. They directly contributed to the success the Western has today. Recently, filmmakers have treated moviegoers to "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and a remake of "3:10 To Yuma." Both have superb casts and s tories. The interest in recent Western films has proven Americans and viewers around the world are once again interested in the g ritty movie. T hemes of righteousness, t aking a stand for what is right, and selfless behavior have risen to the top. If this trend of Westerns and great movie m aking continues, cinemas will contain one delight a fter another. Photos reireivedfrom reelmovienews.com �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 21 2008 Rakin' in the dough Super-athletes distort bigger picture BY BRIAN M ANN Pride Staff Writer When people look at some of the salaries of professional athletes, they have to think that, overall, it is a group that certainly is not in need of a bailout. New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez makes north of twenty million dollars annually. Manny Ramirez, now a free agent who most recently was a Los Angeles. Dodger, will shop his services around this winter and is expect- ing somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty million dollars a year. He^ll likely get it, draw some headlines, and you'll hear again about how out-of-control salaries in pro sports are. If you're one of these lucky guys, you probably don't even notice that the economy is struggling. These players are part of an elite group, though, and are not representative of professional athletes in general They are the best of the best and are paid accordingly. Their attention-getting salaries seem outrageous and, quite frankly, they are. But it is reflective of their market value. I heard once that an individual's market value is whatever someone is willing to pay them." Fair enough. Because the best players tend to be the highest paid ones, they and their salaries are given the most attention. These players, however, do not represent the vast majority of professional athletes. Many athletes have a short-lived career. For Major League Baseball Players, 53% of them will have a career of four years or less and 74% of them will play eight years or less. The current minimum salary is $390,000. For NFL players, the average career span is 3.5 years and the minimum salary is $385,000. For NBA players it is 4.8 years and $442,000 (espn.com). Most players with short careers are making much closer to the minimum than the tens of millions that go to the best players. Professional leagues in every sport are f ull of players like this, just trying to play as long as they can. Granted, the low-end pay scale looks quite attractive to most everybody in the "real world" but because the money is made in a relatively short amount of time, most players will have to work like everybody else once their career is over.

By the t hird debate, all of the topics had b een covered and all stores of i ntrigue and excitement were well depleted. - Obama and M cCain fell into a c ircular p attern of d iscourse, w ith almost every exchange e nding where t he c andidates s tarted. The i nfrequent v ictories-if you could even c all t hem that-were small and almost always o ffset by a m atching v ictory f or the opponent.

Quarterback Tony Romo broke the pinkie finger on his throwing hand during a loss to the Arizona Cardinals. To allow the injury to heal, he would have to sit out four weeks. However, it was reported by ESPN.com that Romo met with coaches and medical personnel for the team and told them he would like to play through the injury. He was the backup quarterback for their most recent game. Brad Johnson started. The Dallas Cowboys made a trade with the Detroit Lions to acquire wide receiver Roy Williams. To acquire him, the Cowboys gave up a first, third, and sixth round pick in the 2009 d raft as well as a seventh round pick in 2010. Following up on a note f rom last week, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was handed what the NFL termed "at least" a four game suspension due to his most recent off-field incident. He reportedly got into a fight with a bodyguard that the team had assigned to him and was under the influence of alcohol, a violation of his probation terms. No charges were filed. Jones missed all of last season due to suspension f rom the NFL. Kansas City Chiefs r unning back L arry Johnson was charged w ith assaulting a woman, stemming f rom an incident five months ago.

Men's Soccer Plays to 0-0 Tie with Pomona Cougar men's soccer played Cal Poly Pomona to a scoreless tie on Saturday, in f ront of the home crowd at M angrum Track & Soccer Field. CSUSM is now 6 -6-2 on the year. A somewhat lackluster e ffort f rom b oth sides led to the result. The normally very active Cougars took only 10 shots to Pomona's 9, and neither team consistently put together any k ind of sustained offensive attack. A program However, both teams did have their chances. CSUSM got what appeared to be a goal in the early second h alf, but it was called back late due t o a foul. Forward Brandon Zuniga had an excellent one-on-one chance, and midfielder Chris Wyatt put a couple of dangerous shots on net, forcing Pomona keeper Thomas Ryan to make a couple of big saves.

Women's Soccer Looks Great in 3-1 Victory Over Pomona Cougar women's soccer t urned in one of its finer e fforts of the season on Friday, defeating Cal Poly Pomona handily, 3-1. The win moves t he #12-ranked Cougars to 10-2-2 on the year. Playing under the n ew scoreboard down at M angrum Track & Soccer Field, CSUSM came out looking spirited and generating plenty of offensive chances. Senior f orward Katelyn Krauss and f reshman f orward L auren Johnson were dynamic up f ront, creating mismatches and keeping t he pressure on. A fter Krauss had a goal nullified due to offsides in the 15th m inute, she came right back on a v irtually identical play and cashed in d uring t he 24th. Johnson fed Krauss the ball at t he f ar top corner of the box, and K rauss drove a beautiful shot into the n ear side n etting for her team-leading 7th goal on the year. CSUSM would expand its lead early in the second half. A fter a scramble in f ront of the CPP net and a couple blocked shots, Johnson was finally able to get o ff a clean one that beat the keeper to the corner. But with the game seemingly well-inhand, things got a little bit dicey late. Pomona's Cody McClure was taken down in the box in the 78th minute, and Britany Garrett finished off the resulting PK, making it a 2-1 game. But the Cougars would prevail, with super sub Taylor Schurman capping off the win with a goal off a loose ball in the 82nd minute. Coach Ron Pulvers' club held on for the 3-1 win. "We played quite well," noted Pulvers. "We're gearing up f or the post-season and stepping up our play." The Cougars will be at home once again this Sunday to take on San Bernardino.

With all of the controversy and hype that surrounds the presidential race, everything else on the ballot seems practically pushed aside. It is iiot . enough to be educated about the candidates for president Voters should inform themselves about candidates running for other offices and about the propositions that are on the ballot. Propositions are often confusing so here is the breakdown of what each proposition is about and what it means. Prop 1A: Safe, reliable high-speed passenger train bond act This proposition allows the state government to sell $9.95 billion in bonds in order to construct a new rail system in California. Those who are for this proposition argue that the new trains will cut down on greenhouse emissions, dependence on foreign oil, and traffic. Those against Prop 1 say that this project will cost the government $19.2 trillion in principal and interest, money California cannot afford to spend in its cuirent financial crisis. For more information visit: www.californiahighspeedtrains.comorwww.hjta.org. Prop 2: Standards for confining farm animals This proposition requires pregnant pigs, calves raised for veal, and egg-laying hens to be able to extend fully, their limbs or wings, lie down, stand up and turn around for the majority of the day. Those for Prop 2 believe it is cruel to confine animals and that they deserve freedom of movement. Those against Prop 2 say the law will cause egg production in California to cease and it will increase the risk of exposure to Salmonella and the Bird Flu. For more information visit: www.YesOnProp2.org or www.safecaliforniafood.org. notify parents of minors seeking an abortion at least 48 hours before the procedure takes place. Those for the proposition argue that notification laws in other states have reduced teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases in young girls and that the law will help protect them from being victimized by older men. Those against Prop 4 claim that it is dangerous and may force many pregnant minors to unsafe measures in order to avoid confrontation with their parents. Visit www.YESon4.net or www.NoonProposition4.org for more information. Prop 3: Children's Hospital Bond Act This proposition allows the state to sell $980 million in bonds for the construction, expansion, remodeling, renovation and equipping of certain children's hospitals. Those for Prop 3 argue that children's hospitals save children's lives and require support. Those against it claim it drives up California's debt and serves medical special interests while there are millions of dollars that are unspent from a similar measure that passed in 2004. For more information visit: www.imaginewithus.org or www.limittaxes.org. Prop 5: Nonviolent drug offenses, sentencing, parole and rehabilitation This proposition would give $460 million a year to expand rehabilitation programs for nonviolent drug offenders and would lessen the sentences they receive and the time they would be on parole. Those for Prop 5 argue it will safely reduce the overcrowding of prisons and expand rehabilitation programs necessary to get drug abusers help. Those against the proposition claim it has a loophole that will allow those accused of child abuse, domestic violence, vehicular manslaughter and other crimes to escape prosecution. For more information visit: www.Prop5yes.com or www.NoOnProposition5.com. Prop 4: Waiting period and parental notification before termination of a minor's pregnancy This proposition requires physicians to College Can Be Difficult. Getting Around Shouldn't Be.

NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com ^ 511 Prop 6: Police and law enforcement funding This proposition allots a minimum of $965 million a year to police and local law enforcement. Those for the proposition claim it will reduce crime and gang activity and increase the number of law enforcement officers on the streets, making our neighborhoods safer. Those against Prop 6 claim it will take $1 billion from schools, healthcare, fire protection and public safety programs without any guarantees that there will be more police on the streets. For more information visit: www.safeneighborhoodsact.com or www.votenoprop6.com. Prop 7: Renewable energy generation Prop 7 requires that all government-owned utilities generate 50 percent of their electricity by the year 2025. Those for Prop 7 argue it will help to combat rising energy prices and help to fight global warming. Those against the measure say it is drafted poorly and will not deliver on its promises and could very likely send California into another energy crisis. For more information visit: www.Yeson7. netorwww.NoProp7.com. . Prop 8: Eliminates right of same-sex couples to marry Prop 8 would define marriage in the state constitution as a union between only a man and a woman. Those for the proposition claim it will restore what 61 percent of voters already approved and then was overturned by four judges in San Francisco. They claim it will just keep the definition of marriage between a man and a woman but will not deny samesex couples their rights. Those against the proposition say that everyone deserves equality under the law and that it is wrong to single anyone out to be treated differently. For more information visit: www.protectmarriage.com or www.NoonProp8.com for more information. Prop 9: Criminal justice system. Victim's rights, parole This would allow victims to provide input at each stage of prosecution and would provide for better protection of victims. Those for this proposition claim it will boost victim's rights, decrease perpetrators rights and prevent the release of criminals due to overcrowding. Those against Prop 9 claim it repeats laws that are already in place for victims while spending millions of dollars on prisons. Visit www.friendsofrnarcyslaw.org or www.votenoonprop9.com for more information. Prop 10: Alternative fuel vehicles and renewable energy This proposition allows the state to sell $5 billion in bonds to invest in alternative fuel cars and research and development of alternative and renewable energy sources. Those for the proposition claim it will reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and help fight global warming. Those against it claim that one company would receive the majority of $10 billion of taxpayers' money without the promise of results. Visit www.proplOyes.com or www.votenoonproplO.com for more information. Prop 11: Redistricting This proposition requires the formation of a new commission comprised of registered voters in which Democrats, Republicans and third parties are represented in changing the Assembly, Senate, and Board of Equalization district boundaries. Those for the proposition claim it prevents politicians from drawing up their own districts to suit their purposes. Those against it say it creates a costly new bureaucracy comprised of people who were not elected and have no accountability to voters. For more information visit: www. yespropll.org and www.noonpropll.org for more information. Prop 12: Veterans' bond act This proposition allows the state to sell $900 million in bonds to provide farm and home aid to veterans. Those for the proposition claim we need to give back to those who served our country and Prop 12 allows them to receive low interest loans at no cost to taxpayers because it will be repaid. Those against it claim it is written loosely and that voters may wish to discontinue the program at some point or limit it to those who are most deserving or in the greatest need* For more information visit: www.cdva. ca.gov for more information.

She has b een a dancer from early c hildhood and continues to explore dance as an art form. Fiehler is a senior at Cal State San Marcos and enjoys the intimacy o f the dance program. She is an accounting major with a minor in dance and is set to graduate this spring. Fiehler hopes to be able to continue to integrate b usiness and dance in the future w hile making a living at both. In the fourth grade, Fie-. hler moved from Escondido to Valley Center where her mom enrolled her in dance class. The idea was to meet other kids and get involved in a new location, but Fiehler did more than that. She had been dancing; "her whole l ife" and she continued to enjoy it as she learned more techniques. In middle school, Fiehler began to l oose her f ocus on dance but her a ffection for dance was not far from her mind. In high school, she began to dance again and gained an inspiration from one o f her instructors at Valley Center High School. Fiehler says o f her High School instructor, "she taught us about l ife, not just dance." Other inspirations in Fiehler's l ife are talented dancers that she watched perform, such as Savion Glover, a world famous tap dancer, A lvin A iley, and Paul Taylor. Fiehler's concentration in dance is on modern and contemporary art. She participated in CSU summer arts series, where the Bush Woman inspired her. "They are really strong women, powerful movement with meaning being the performance." Fiehler's goal in developing her own choreographing movements is to convey "a message" beyond the dance. The « message may be about her, "personal experiences or social observations." Fiehler also loves to combine different art forms into dance. She "collaborates with poets and layers the work" to achieve multi-themed projects. For Fiehler, dancing is more than just an art form. Dancing is a cathartic expression. "Dancing keeps [her] thinking y' and observant, when [she] is creating art [she] s ees more."

Edward Norton stars as the green giant in this I action film, which is better than the first, but still not great. This should delight fans of superheroes and action films. This horror film misses the mark on several levels. The story follows a family and what happens when masked strangers appear outside their house. Though it provides some minor chills, it ends up being just another lame slasher film. Images retreivedfrom amazon.com �Keane discover Perfect Symmetry BY AMY SALISBURY Opinion Editor After two multi-platinum albums, a successful stint at rehab, and a new baby girl, you can't shake the vibe that Keane feels they have conquered something. Whether it be the unsaid rules of the music industry, hindered originality, or fears of their own, Perfect Symmetry begs to find out. Symmetry's opening track, "Spiralling," sets the tone for the entire album. David Bowie emanates from the verses in unlikely, synth-soaked flashbacks, surely not shaping the revelatory single fans expected. "The Lovers Are Losing" is much closer to Keane's typical style, filled with soaring vocals and loye scorned lyrics, a bit more pared down than the tracks to follow. Smith's throwback "Better Than This" could easily be where keyboardist and songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley gave in hard to guest producer and pop god Jon Brion. The track is unquestionably a lyrical victory, centering on society'^ obsession with celebrity and reputation. Triumphant the poetry may be, but the keyboards and trippy guitar effects saturate the song's atmosphere. "You Haven't Told Me Anything" pushes the band's boundaries even further. Rice-Oxley allows drummer Richard Hughes a little experimentation with its beat-driven construction, seamlessly (and temporarily) switching Keane to a dance/house trio. Symmetry's low point immediately follows the album's immeasurable title track. The mellow "You Don't See Me" harshly contrasts "Perfect Symmetry's" dramatic melody and empowering mood by diminishing front man, Tom Chaplin's, commanding voice into a whimpering Bono impression. Keep an eye on your iPod. "You Don't See Me" is so dangerously m id-80s U2 that the song might sponta- Walkman. Luckily, "Again and Again" rushes in to balance the retro cheese. True, it sounds like something off the Top Gun soundtrack, but the A-ha synth rip-offs are actually rather classy. In fact, take away the buzzing arpeggio, and "Again and Again" could fit right in on the band's debut album, Hopes and Fears. Most of the release's punch lives in the first half of the tracks, with an even mellower "Playing Along" softly screaming an antiwar message before the last of the pop tunes make their mark. "Pretend That You're Alone" comes off as almost a harsh Prince" from sophomore record, Under the Iron Sea. Rice-Oxley compares humanity to "blisters on the earth" and "strangling weeds" before insisting we all revert to our most hidden animal instincts, apparently to help remedy rampant .Western superficiality. "Black Burning Heart" finally embodies what these three men originally set out to create with this record. As fresh as it is familiar, the song boils with classic Keane styling, while the fattest bass line since Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" drives it home. Lyrically, the track could joke, with lyrics akin to "The Frog onance of their previous record. The Radiohead/Queen finale, "Love is the End," overflows with genuine passion. Certainly, the band's personal experiences in the last year contributed to its authenticity. To feign warmth like that is impossible. A fter all, Keane would know. The glaringly poetic lyricist and composer Tim Rice-Oxley is sometimes too advanced for his own good. Regrettably, I get the feeling that this album won't bring about any Keane converts due to the simple fact that it may fly above many heads. Perfect Symmetry symbolizes the culmination of a band abandoning its inhibitions and indulging every influence. Refreshing from start to finish, Keane's latest album . leaves no stone unturned and balances intuition with innovation. neously morph it into a Drinks and Dinner Pairs well with Live Music BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor A fter a long week of school, work, and more school, a college student needs some f un.

According to Kozol, Martin Luther King had a dream that white and black children would go to the same schools. He did not have a dream that involved a child having to meet certain criteria in order to attend the school. National Book Award-winning author Jonathan Kozol spoke out against what he calls "Modernized legal apartheid," in the United States' public schools system last Thursday at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido (CCAE). It was a packed house last Thursday at the CCAE when Kozol opened his speech, praising school teachers on their continued efforts on working with kids, yet not speaking too highly about politicians who think otherwise. Kozol does not believe our politicians are doing enough to educate the young children in the inner cities. According to his research, 1/4 of the children in South Bronx do not go to preschool because their local government won't spend the money for Head Start programs, which help children of low-income families to better develop their comprehensive skills before they start school. Kozol drills the government on its education bill that was passed, which will in turn hold an eight-year-old accountable for not passing his/her exams. He feels that these tests are discriminatory against children that go to inner city schools, because some of these children did not have any proper preschooling, and many did not go to pre-school at all. Kozol also thinks that teachers will lose some of their creativity, because they would be under the watchful eye of the government. Jonathan Kozol.

He Kozol doesn't believe that parents from the inner city have the resources to do this. That is where his "Modernized legal apartheid" comes into play. Kozol believes that the modern day American public school system is as segregated as it was in Martin Luther King's time; people just don't notice it because Daniel Murphy, a CSUSM senior, said "Instead of having the students pick up the entire fee, the university could have charged the students the difference between what was set aside, and the fees that were being absorbed (roughly $50,000) and reduce this new 2,9% surcharge by 70 percent!"

The $124,091 will now be distributed to other Student Life Programs and to hiring another staff police officer. CSUSM's President Alexander Gonzalez said, "Both will support student needs as we move to a 24/7 campus with the opening of student housing in Fall 2003." "Teachers are not drill sergeants for the state," Kozol expressed. A teacher should have "Loyalty first to the kids," and second to the government, Kozol said. He does not feel that it is necessary for the government to test children because of the negative impact it will have on whoever implements it. PAN Hosts War Forum By TRAVIS OLP Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, O ct 17th, Cal State San Marcos hosted a forum concerning the pending war against Iraq in the Mezzanine Plaza at 12 p.m. Sponsored by the Progressive Activist Network (PAN), the panel consisted of three CSUSM professors and two North County activists. According to PAN Vice President Drew Niedenthal, the forum provided an opportunity to "hear from people who are educated about the situation, and to let them speak their mind? The discussion began with introductions of the panel by PAN President Manal Yamout. Fellow members Steven Sehnte and Erick Roper gave qtiick aad concise Öibemtions thereafter Eiden,.: • feöyist and director of the Nortih County Forum, was thefirstto answer a series of PAN directed questions. His passionate and liberal beliefs came blazing through his outspoken manner. Sitting next to him was a Cal State San Marcos See WAR, page 2 �WAR f rom page 1 communication alumnus, Bob Nanninga, currently a journalist for the Coast News. Both Nanninga and Eiden proved to be very adamant about avoiding war with Iraq. Eiden thinks a great deal is missing from media coverage, more specifically, whatever the government does not want people to know. "If the government tells the truth, it is a coincidence", said Eiden. Nanninga explained that the "federal government is completely out of control", believing that the History Professor Lawrence "Bush dynasty" is rampant and Rockwood provided a military misguided in its attempts to use point of view.

Questions made by PAN President Yamout were direct and succinct. These included "Is the media coverage on the situation with Iraq accurate?", "Should President Bush be more concerned about domestic issues such as a faltering economy?" and "What are the implications if America decides to go to war without U.N. approval?" The only clear answer was from Eiden. If the U.S. goes to war without the consent of the U.N., it could be the catalyst that "ignites a world confrontation between 'Islam' and 'the West'. The U.S. could become a world pariah," said Eiden. Professor of History Patricia Seleski answered these questions of PAN verbosely. Currently teaching a class on the history of modern warfare, her insights were most enlightening. As she so eloquently said, "The right has to understand it is not the 1930's. The left has to understand it is not the 1960's." Women's Studies Kicks Off New Leadership Series By HONEE J. FOLK Pride Staff Writer Three professional women discussed the importance of balancing family and business life, the glass ceiling encasing women in government, and the challenges that lay ahead for women on their career paths during a Women's Studies Leadership Series, The panel discussion took place at Cal State San Marcos in Commons 206 on Oct. 10, complete with light afternoon hors. d'oeuvres of fine cheese with crackers and exotic fruit juices. Its focus was, "Being in the Public's Eye," and it had as guest speakers three superwomen in government, Lori Holt-Pfeiler, JoAnn Case, and Suzanne Strassburger. clown, rather the ability to skillfully maneuver the schedules and priorities of her daughter's sleepover plans, a town hall meeting, dinner, her career as an accountant, wife, and the Mayor of an entire city - all in one day. Holt-Pfeiler devotedly described the obstacles that she herself faced on her political ascension on the public service ladder. She reiterated the many difficulties specific to women who must burrow through a system filled with challenges, and are often not shown any benevolence from their male counterparts. When questioned by an audience participant about her commitment to ensuring that the voices of other underrepresented populations, specifically women of color, be heard, Holt-Pfeiler responded, "If you don't share power, it's going to be taken from you, so you have to make a place at the table for everyone to sit." Holt-Pfeiler, the soft-spoken Mayor of Escondido, appeared stronger than a locomotive in a calm, underlying might, as she recounted her daily challenges of holding a public office and balancing her family responsibilities. She invited the audience on a twist-and-turn journey of one day in Lori's life, where Case, Economic Development the juggling act did not consist Division Manager of Escondido, of colorful balls being thrust in had to be faster than a speeding several directions by a circus bullet to make a place at the table By HONEE J.

With just a high school education and $2,000 in her billfold, Case whisked past the blockades and two husbands in her way, up the ladder of managerial success. Now that she has accomplished that, there is little room for advancement because the top 5 Director positions in city management are all held by men and have remained stagnant. Case cautiously talked about the ever-present glass ceiling looming overhead for women. She said of Escondido city government, "You find a lot of women get to the management level and that's where they tend to stop. They don't tend to get to the director level." Case outlined the pros and cons of engaging the city in employment. She maintained that among the most attractive advantages to government work is an individual's ability to directly affect change in other people's lives. "You touch a lot of people," she said, "you touch the public a lot." She continued by saying that although the pay is not creat, "The henefit p art. is not grrpat "TV»p bpnpfit «ackage is well worth it." Her candid disposition permitted her to be completely frank and honest with her audience, being truthful in her advice, "I would say there are more opportunities for women to advance, at least in this state, today, in the private sector," Case asserted, "If you're looking for an accelerated career path to the top, government is not for you, at least not now." Strassburger, CEO of the Downtown Business Association of Escondido, connected with the audience by sharing her professional progression towards the position she holds now. Strassburger previously held employment with organizations from the San Diego Blood Bank to the Zoological Society, publishing articles in regional and national publications. Her experience reinforces the age-old cliché that it's not what you know, it's who you know as she openly divulged, "I have never received a job that I have applied for.

According to her, this preparation empowered her to move beyond obstacles in her path as if leaping over tall buildings in a single bound. To illustrate this analogy, Strassburger provided an example that she, like other women, had often encountered. "There will be times when you're in a meeting and make a comment, and 5 minutes later a man will say the same thing and be recognized for it when you weren't." She used this opportunity to engage the audience by releasing the tension that had built up from such a frustrating reality. Strassburger asked someone to help her understand why this scenario often occurred and Jonathan Pouliard, CSUSM's Associate Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students, blurted out, "That's easy, it's called sexism!" The audience rose and fell a in an eruption of laughter and _ before they were able to j fll gain their composure, Strassburger threw her arm up in the air and breathed a sigh of relief while exclaiming, "Oh, thanks for clearing that up!"

The killing spree, which has resulted in nine deaths and has wounded three others, began on O ct 2nd. On Monday an arrest was made, although at the time that this article went to print, there was no known connection to the sniper attacks that have haunted the greater Washington D.C are for over two weeks. Experts originally believed that the "Sniper", had had at least To say that the assailant or some degree of military trainassailants have drastically dis- ing.

Phoenix, also states that trained The "Sniper" struck eleven times in the first two weeks, remained in seclusion from Monday the 14th, and struck again last Saturday night, this time more than 80 miles from Washington, D.C. The latest victim is in critical but stable condition at a local area hospital. snipers aim for the head. And although the Washington area sniper has hit some in the head, others were hit in the upper body. Graves maintains that, given the distances of the shootings (up to 100 yards) and kill ratio (9 of 11) this seems unlikely to be the work of a professionally trained sniper. "I can take someone out in the morning and by lunch have them shooting as well as this guy," says Graves. The second assumption made about the "Sniper" that has recently been questioned is the idea that this is the work of a lone gunman. Former FBI agent and one of the pioneers of modern profiling techniques, Robert Ressler, suggests that the shooter's ability to hit with a single shot and escape police dragnets within minutes gives credence to the notion that this might be the work of more than one man. It's been implied that the second man would act as a "wheel man" and/or victim spotter. "These are complex crimes," says Ressler. "You can't just pull up and shoot out the window unless you're an exceptional marksman. I think he's getting out of his seat and shooting with a scope and a bipod or a rest. Someone else is driving." Ressler also suspects that by the time the victim falls, the vehicle is already moving. This may be partly due to the United States government's approval to use Army spy planes (Airborne Reconnaissance Low planes) equipped with a range of special sensors and detection capabilities for an overhead, round the clock hunt for the notorious marksman. Furthermore, criminologists have suggested that, these killings may stop for months at a time, or even entirely. This may be just another of this unseemly character's/characters' methods employed that make him/them virtually impossible to profile. Whatever the case, this methodical madman/madmen has used intelligence to evade capture thus far and officials have even granted that it may require either luck, or an improbable mistake on his/their part to apprehend this killer/killers.

Throughout the California State University system there is a requirement that says that in order to obtain a degree all students must show a proficiency in writing. Students at CSUSM meet this requirement through what is known as "Writing Across the Curriculum" The 2002-2003 General Catalogue explains, "At CSUSM, students complete the graduation writing assessment through the All-University Writing Requirement" This requires that every course must have, "a writing component of a least 2,500 words " The requirement does not state specifically how this is to be done, just that the "writing requirement can be achieved in a variety of ways, depending on the course." an upper division writing class and pass the Examination in Writing Proficiency (EWP). Students attending the Long Beach campus have to pass a Writing Proficiency Examination/ In all cases, if the students fail to pass the writing exams and additional courses, they will not be able to graduate. There are also limits as to how many times the exams can be taken. The requirement for CSUSM is much different from other universities in the CSU system. At CSU Bakersfield, students must show writing competency by either passing the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) examination or It is not just the CSU system by taking an additional writing that has a writing requirement. class. While at Cal State Ful- For example, at UCSD all stulerton, students have to take dents must pass writing exams known as Challenge Exams, and at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo students must either pass a writing proficiency exam or take another English class in order to graduate. CSUSM's writing requirement is a legacy of the founding faculty. Dr. Patricia Worden, a member of the founding faculty in Psychology who is now the Dean of Graduate Studies, explained that Dr. Ken Seib is the "father of the writing requirement." Worden said that the founding faculty was concerned Worden told how Seib, who left the university before it opened, felt that "if you want to learn how to write you have to write a lot." In order to achieve this goal, the founding faculty decided on a requirement that would call for writing in every single class, or "writing across the curriculum." Worden said they knew it would require more work for the faculty, so they .made the requirement flexible mandating only a word minimum and not any specifics for how it should be accomplished. Worden added, "[the] university's writing requirement has had nothing but good publicity." * Dr. Bud Morris, Immediate Past Chair of the Academic Senate and Communication professor, said that, "CSUSM chooses to [use the writing requirement] and we do it well." Morris added how the writing requirement "is a distinction and one that emphasizes the personal development of the students." To confirm how successful CSUSM's writing requirement really is, Dr. Bettina Huber, Director of Analytic Studies, provided statistics and data gathered from several different surveys. According to Huber, "Our writing requirement makes us distinctive." She also said that it highlights the importance of writing in every course over a general essay like the GWAR. Huber discussed the results of the Fall 2001 Annual In-Class Survey, which showed how 80% of the 1,156 respondents believed that, "their writing ability had been enhanced moderately or a great deal." In the Spring 1999 Alumni Survey, in which there were 1,468 respondents, four in five alumni said "the writing skills they acquired at CSUSM have proved particularly useful in the years since they received their bachelor's degrees." Alumni comments were a testimony to both the dislike and the importance of the requirement. A few typical examples were, "the horrible writing requirement has proven to be very valuable," "all writing proved to be a must," and «jI IT See WRITING, page 5 ! ?

One respondent stressed how "the CSUSM writing requirements were key in preparing me for my professional day to day tasks." Huber added, "Only in retrospect can you judge the value of your college education." The GWAR is a CSU system requirement that has been replaced at this campus with the writing across the curriculum policy. When asked about the circumvention of the GWAR, Dr. Sharon Hamill,. Associate Professor of Psychology and General Education Committee chair, reassured that the writing done through the university's writing requirement satisfies the GWAR, and that because of it, CSUSM students do not have to Alpha Chi Omega Hosts Womens Resource Event take an exit exam. Hamill also said that this year, "The General Education Committee would be looking into the GWAR issue and how writing is addressed at CSUSM." By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Showing a proficiency in writing is mandatory for graduating college students in the state of California. CSUSM has the unique system of the "writing across the curriculum" requirement, while other colleges, regardless if they are in the CSU system or not, have exit exams like the GWAR, or additional classes, or both. It is extremely doubtful that the writing requirement will ever be eliminated, but it could be replaced. However, this would be up to the General Education Committee and the Academic Senate to decide. JCoiutâ current goals and strategies of the United Nations, visit their website: www.UN.org.

Or so it should be in the university press. "The Constitution has established as the supreme law of the land the guarantees of free speech and a free press with a prohibition against the government at any level of any branch infringing thereon," wrote Louis Ingelhart. The question that remains is if this protection of verbal and written freedom of expression extends to the nation's 3500 plus colleges and universities. So begins the debate. "Wanted: Teacher willing to advise student publications Must not allow students to write about controversial issues, damage the school's reputation with quality reporting or upset students, parents or the community with the truth. Must realize that a school publication is a publicrelations device. Potential advisers who emphasize First Amendment rights need not apply" The fact that very few campus newspapers are completely independent of the college overseeing them complicates the issues over how much freedom they are entitled to. Cal State San Marcos' student paper, The Pride, for example, receives rent-free office space on campus and approximately half of its funding from the university Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) funding. The other half credence to student publications is self-sufficient, coming from being entitled to funding - which cannot be reduced or eliminated advertisement revenue. due to content-related issues, as Francine Martinez, CSUSM described by journalism profesVice President for Student sor Louis Ingelhart. Affairs, explains IRA funding as a, "fee revenue that is paid by students each semester. The current fee is $5 per student per term." Martinez added that the IRA Fee "is designated for activities that support the academic/ instructional programs of the University. Student newspapers [are] an example of the type of activities supported by this fee on our campus" There is a proposal submission process, which The Pride goes through each year in order to receive this funding. The ASI president is the chair of the IRA committee, which reviews all proposals and makes recommendations to the university president. The president makes the final recommendations as to who receives IRA allocations for the following year. Fiscal support, such as that received by The Pride, is not unique to CSUSM. According to journalist Eric Campbell, only 22 student newspapers in the country are completely independent. In fact, courts give formal At CSUSM, even Rick Moore, Director of Communications, whose job it is to create a positive reputation for the university, said, "I would be proud of our campus student newspaper if it [was] fair and balanced. I do not expect it to be consistently positive about the campus." press, or prefer to ignore these restrictions." Thereby, the freedom to which student journalists are entitled is not always taken advantage of. Nor is this a staunch freedom that goes unchallenged. New cases are perpetually brought to court where a party believes their constitutional right to freedom of the written word has somehow been thwarted at a campus newspaper. Currently, the editors of a student publication at Governors State University in Illinois have filed a lawsuit in federal court. The two editors complain that their paper was literally shut down after they printed attacks on professors and administrators for being "antagonistic to student concerns" This case is being closely watched by student-press and professional-journalism organizations for the impact it may have upon future policies. Despite the lack of complete autonomy from the university, many campus newspapers are free from the control of their faculty or administration. This makes student newspapers peerlessly unique, as no other publications are free from the censorship of their publisher, which is the university in this case. In these circumstances, though, immunity is seen as necessary for publications to function as credible sources of information instead of extensions of university advertising. The United States judicial system has upheld this necessity with Numerous court rulings granting that public colleges have more power to regulate what is taught in the classrooms than what is printed Not all cases of infringement in the campus newspaper, as upon student journalists' rights reported by political activist have the luxury of becoming so John K.

A former staff writer for The Babbler, the student newspaper at Lipscomb University in Tennessee, commented on experi-. ences with the newspaper's faculty advisor. "When talking about story ideas, I was repeatedly told not to be disappointed if something negative [about Lipscomb] didn't get printed... That's just the way it was," said the former writer. (Student's name is withheld in a protection of privacy.) Jonathan Poullard, CSUSM Dean of Students, said he wants to hear the truth reported about the campus workings, but he wants to hear all the truth. "Don't give me half the story," said Poullard. Poullard expounded that at the' multiple universities for which he has worked, administrators, faculty, and students criticize the lack of angles provided in student newspapers. One-sidedness or lack of multiple sources used in news stories is a common criticism of student newspapers across the nation. Student reporters are often inexperienced and are always working under impeding deadlines that compete Fortunately, the circumstances with other coursework.

Pancotti gave insights and suggestions for settling the nerves that all of the students will eventually encounter when looking for a job. Pancotti's first -suggestion was to be ready to relax/ She explained most interviewers or recruiters understand nerves and try to put individuals at ease, so she insisted, "Go ahead and relax!" One way to help the relaxation part is to be prepared. Pancotti recommends making sure that applicants know ahead of time exactly what job people are applying for and the qualifications needed for that job. Also, people should try to find out what kind of interview they will be having: whether it is a panel interview, a oneon-one interview or a phone interview makes a difference in the process. Pancotti also suggested calling beforehand to do research on the position that applicants are applying for and investigating in advance as to whether the position is a service oriented job or a data entry position. Going to an interview unaware of these things may damage an applicant's chances for getting the job, said Pancotti. Also, many companies have websites now, where people might be able to get a better knowledge about the culture of the company. Pancotti feels it is most important that when applicants arrive to the interview they show energy and dignity and exude confidence. Wear appropriate clothing; conservative and professional over trendy is usually best. She recommended wearing a very light fragrance, nothing overwhelming because some individuals have allergies. Pancotti also offers a reminder, "The interview starts the moment you walk in the door." She also recommended being courteous to everyone, which means the receptionist, too. Recruiters sometimes ask the receptionist about their opinion. Furthermore, recruiters will be looking at the overall presentation that applicants' offer, and everything counts. Pancotti suggests "bringing a copy of the resume in a folder or a briefcase." She also added, "Bring your day timer or a calendar with you. Occasionally, a second interview is required and applicants will need to make the appointment at that time. Also, bringing the exact phone numbers of professional references helps. Sometimes people will go directly to the second interview, so that second resume helps. The resume does not have to look fancy; it just has to have your skills and be easy to read. The simpler the better is usually best," said Pancotti. If possible, applicants are encouraged to do some roleplaying before the interview. Ask a friend to help. Be prepared to answer "Behavioral Based Interview" questions such as; tell me about a time... or a specific experience when you came up with an idea that improved a situation. The answers should be based on actual experiences. Other questions might be "Describe your most significant accomplishment for which your received recognition?" Answers might start like, "A week ago, I helped my boss.. " Pancotti insisted never to lie about the answers given in the interview. She said, "Liars stop looking at the interviewer and tend to loose focus. We can always tell." So she insisted, "Always, be honest and tell the truth" In addition, people should be prepared to answer questions regarding their weaknesses. This is why Pancotti suggested turning the question into a positive answer, for instance, "I work too hard or I am overly organized." Some other common questions include: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Why are you leaving your current position? Good answers to the last question would be lack of growth or seeing better opportunities in the job applicants are applying for. When answering questions, the interviewee should be sure to communicate clearly and completely, and if they are not sure how they sound, they are recommended to tape themselves or go over their answers with a friend. Having questions for the interviewer shows that applicants are prepared. If possible, the interviewee should go ahead and write the questions down and bring them to the interview. Pancotti's suggestions for good questions would be asking "What characteristics would make the applicant more successful in this position," in which applicants should highlight their qualities and say what they can do to follow the suggestions given by the interviewers. Asking for more information about the actual duties of the hiring position is also helpful; the last question should always be to ask for the next step. This question implies asking if they will call or if they will write. Also, writing a thank you letter is a good thing to do. According to Pancotti, if there are many applicants, people will want to stand out and writing a thank you letter can help. Some individuals might write in the letter "Remember I was number one on my sales team in my previous position." Maintaining eye contact during the interview; connecting with the interviewer; taking time to answer questions; not offering too much personal information; and avoid talking about your husband or children were other suggestions made by Pancotti. Pancotti added that recruiters want to talk about the applicants' skills and qualifications and that this should be kept simple. Pancotti concluded, "At the end of the interview people should feel comfortable and relaxed but without forgetting to bring the most important thing to the interview, a great smile!" Blend Skate Premier Draws a Crowd By MATT VARELA Pride Staff Writer On Monday October 14th, over 300 people showed up in Oceanside to watch a new skate video put out by Blend.

(ASI) Programming Board braved the day's dark clouds and harsh air on their mission to entertain CSUSM students during "Take a Break Tuesday" activity held on Oct. 15, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. For this event, seven Cal State §an Marcos students, John Gehris, Rhawnie Gauthier, Julie Kroeger, Angi Hardin, Brett Gladys and Briza Juarez enticed, bribed, begged and harassed anyone standing on Founder's Plaza to increase their batting average in the huge inflatable batting cage. The enormous playpen was set up between Academic and Science Halls and provided many college students an opportunity to retreat to their adolescent memories of recess on the jungle gym. The ominous gray sky, chilling wind, and the precipitous rain clouds were no match for the programming board members' sunny dispositions. Armed with big smiles, enthusiastic energy, and musical bullhorns, several members of the programming team went to the corners of the quad to pull in prospective players. Gehris often stopped random passersby and challenged them to "swing batter batter, swing batter batter." Some CSUSM students were not lured onto the playful atmosphere, Maria Schroeder, ASI College of Arts and Sciences Representative remembered ducking and dodging the ball instead of sending it into the outfield the last time she entered the cages. With a smile on her face, she tugged her arm away from the persistent John Gehris, as she exclaimed, "No way, I almost broke my ankle and lost my shoe the last time I got in that thing!" ASI Coordinator of Student Programs and Services, Valerie Cuevas, offered her opinion of the. day's activities saying, "It went very well, over 70 students participated... it provided a great escape from papers and projects for students to just have fun." Cuevas encouraged everyone to participate in the fun activities scheduled in this series on the third Tuesday of every month. The cold California weather had students standing in line with blue lips and shivering torsos jumping from side to side in an effort to keep warm (in the miserably cold weather that never got below 65 degrees). Many were anxious to strut their stuff for fantasy bragging rights about how many balls they "smacked out of the park," joked one student before he pounded away at the ball. �W^MSMmm S u b s Then Jook to your good neighbor State Farnf agent.

The Ring, originally titled Ring, was adopted form a highly regarded Japanese thriller originally by Hideo Nakata. The English version of The Ring, directed by Gore Verbinski (The Mexican), stars Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive), Martin Henderson (Windtalkers), and David Dorfman (Panic). While not all the cast are mainstream popular actors and actresses, the characters portrayed come together to make an entertaining shock movie about an urban legend focusing around a videotape. However, when watching this movie, which I suggest you do, please don't meddle on what is not believable, it will ruin the experience. The main gist of this movie is based on the "what i f ' factor, so just go with it. This movie revolves around a videotape but manages to be fairly entertaining, I would suggest this movie to anyone who likes a fairly scary movie that makes you think. and a little bit on the lame side, you are right. But, since when does a Hollywood movie need a believable plot? Especially when dealing with a movie that's based upon a fictional urban legend. Dark imagery foreshadow events. Image courtesy of Dreamworks. The urban legend in The Ring is about a mysterious videotape, whose mystery is only exceeded by its power because the movie will kill you after viewing it. When this video is watched, the viewers will not only be scared, but receive a phone call immediately afterwards explaining that they will have 7 days left to live. This movie received a rating of PG-13, but deals with fairly mature subject matter. Similar movies include the Blair Witch, or the Sixth Sense. The Ring will leave you with a little more on your mind to digest/ The Concept of something as simple as a video causing your death is really something to think about, especially after breaking down all the moments of the movie that tie into the tape. This is what The Ring exactly portrays.' Overall, this is the type of movie that leaves you thinking the moment you see the first credit rolling, not to mention the variety of different actions from person to person about the numerous intellectual and emotional experiences developed throughout the movie. The afterlife and fascination with death has got us all thinking once or twice, and The Ring will expand, and maybe even broaden your horizons on the issue. take it upon herself to get to the bottom of what exactly this tape is about and how it causes the unknown deaths. Dragging other friends and family into the mix, Rachel is sent through a hectic journey to solve the mystery of the tape. As all good movies shock you and make you jump out of your seat, The Ring is no exception. Through out the movie numerous men and women found themselves either jolting around in their chairs or giving a girly scream out of fright. Starting with a series of unknown deaths, Rachel, a Seattle news writer, played by Naomi Watts, gets the scoop of the deadly tape and cannot resist the temptation to watch. After viewing the tape, and receiving Now, if you're thinking this the call of death, Rachel must plot sounds somewhat stretched Before you die, you see the ring. Image courtesy of Dreamworks.

I would describe Jack's music as soulful, lazy, Saturday guitar tunes that occasionally are hinted with a touch of blues, hip-hop, and reggae inflections. From what I have gathered from many websites dedicated to Jack and his music, he is Jack, 27 years old, who was born and raised in Hawaii started surfing pretty much as soon as he began to walk. He surfed competitively as a teenager with a Quicksilver contract and a reputation as an up and coming pro surfer, but he was not the type who enjoyed major competition. After a near fatal surfing accident, Jack turned his back on his surfing career and moved to the mainland to study film at UCSB. most of his songs from his album and tried out some new ones on At one point in the concert, the crowd.

He started off playing $2.00 shows in Encinitas, before he started to get more recognition. Jack is just another person who enjoyed playing the guitar and jamming with friends after a good day of surfing. Jack is definitely a laid back kind of guy who really just plays music, because he loves it and not for the money. Rumor has it that he avoided the big wig recording studios in regards to his second album and is heading back to his brother's garage in Oahu, Hawaii to compile it. His first album, Brushfire Fairytales, has been a huge hit. It has sold over 200,000 copies since its release in 2001.1 also have noticed great popularity and definitely big playtime on local radio stations as well as nationwide recognition on Billboards.com. I was surprised to see such a laid back gathering of people at the concert. It was more like a party gathering than a concert. There was no certain demographic at the concert. I saw fans as young as gradeschool age and all the way up to people that looked to be my parent's age. There were definitely many college students .from all sorts of local colleges and universities. My group consisted of CSUSM students as well as SDSU students.

I was not suggesting that we just eliminate these "ethnic" literature pieces from being studied; I was saying that these pieces should be included in the American Literature class because the authors are just as American as any of the other authors that are currently included. For instance, Thomas Paine, the author of "Common Sense", was born and raised in England, but his work is commonly found in the "Regular" American Literature class. What makes him more American than let's say Hamden Connecticut born and raised Ruth Ozeki, who wrote "My Year of Meats," a book often read in the Multiethnic American Literature 450 class. Why should she be considered a Multi-Ethnic American individual and Paine By TRAVIS OLP Pride Staff Writer As the November 5th election rapidly approaches, we need to educate ourselves about the candidates and issues. That is the major problem: we need to educate ourselves. No professors to lecture us. No mandatory readings to pump information into our heads. Self-education pushes us out of our comfort zone. It takes discipline. Ultimately, whom we vote for (or don't vote for) could be the deciding vote in an important legislation such as Congress's recent debate on war in Iraq. not? It is similar to implying that Paine, a man from England, has no ethnicity. It is asinine to have a class that separates "EthnicAmerican" pieces from "American" pieces, because what the university is saying by doing this is, that the authors in the plain old American Literature class have no ethnicities. In addition to this oversight, the university is promoting the idea of separate but equal, something we learned back in the Civil Rights movement is simply wrong. Also, why did you point out that the university catalog says that, "Literature 450 examines texts through thematic and historical frameworks in order to view them as products of varying culture and historical circumstances?" Are you suggesting that in American Literature 309A and 309B that the university disregards the varying historical and cultural changes that were occurring during the American Revolution, the treatment of the Native Americans, contemporary politics are not youth-oriented. True, politicians intentionally gear their ad campaigns and discussions towards the older generation of voters, knowing full well that only 32 percent of voters aged 18 to 24 turned out to vote in the 1996 presidential election. Which one should come first: politicians directing issues towards young voters, or young voters making an appearance on voting day? As soon as students take a more proactive approach to voting, and simultaneously assuming the burden of a massive amount of votes, then the politicians will listen. and the narratives of the slaves? to connect their writing to one Have you ever taken any of these nation, they are, and should be classes? considered American.

Take taxes for example: Taxes are a fundamental part of America and will affect how the youth of this nation votes in the future. Why, then, should taxes not effect how much we vote presently? Another popular point of contention is that a single vote will not influence the outcome of an election. Contrary to this accepted notion, a single vote has more impact due to the Electoral College. Instead of mixing with 100 million votes across the country, the vote cast stays in the state of its voter.

How many of us can actually name off at least six people (excluding family) that would have our backs as friends, no matter what! Most of us could only name off three if we are lucky. Therefore, after you have looked a little deeper behind the stereotype imposed upon fraternities you will start to understand the actual extent of them. I encourage anyone who is still wondering or is just curious to seek out your answers and quit believing in the same stereotypes that have been circulating for years. �W ar P anel W ay T oo S ubjective By TRAVIS OLP Pride Staff Writer Last Thursday, I attended the Progressive Activist Network (PAN) war forum held here on campus. I showed up expecting a stimulating and interactive discussion. Instead, I was subjected to a panel that said the same thing, just in different terms. If it was PAN's intention to educate the student body and raise the level of awareness as they claimed, they should have done it from an impartial viewpoint. Instead, the afternoon was nothing but a reflection of their liberal stance as a student union. debate is that mainstream media does not provide objectivity Overall, the forum was not and factual information in their open whatsoever. Several of broadcasts. Why, then, presthis reporter's questions remain ent a discussion that is simply unanswered due to the fact that slanted from a different angle? there was not a true opportunity Just as PAN member Steven to ask them. Although there was Schultz touted, "This here is the a favorable student response, the essence of democracy, starting afternoon was not audience-ori- with awareness." Really, it was ented whatsoever. I was not able an avenue for PAN to push their to collect so much as a single agenda, not for a round-table quote from a member of the lis- debate. teners. They never had a chance to ask questions, either. Several questions remain unrequited. If Iraq does have This was fine. However, one weapons of mass destruction, of the underlying themes of the and does ultimately decide to use them, how will history look at us if we sit back idly and do nothing? If Saddam gassed 10,000 of his own people to quell an uprising, are we justified in ousting him from power? After an attack on our own soil, are we warranted in retaliating with such force? None of these issues were remotely addressed. Especially at the collegiate level, we as Americans need to take pride in a democratic system that even allows for debates like this to take place. True democracy incorporates the voice of every- one. Clearly, this was not the case on Thursday. Don't misunderstand me. I believe the beauty of politics lies in its innate nature of contention. No one ever said democracy wouldn't be messy. However, if one side cries out that they are being treated unjustly, the answer is not to create a meeting of the minds where all the minds think alike. At the next student union sponsored debate, more attention and respect should be. granted to others' viewpoints. " Cal S tate S quares" R esponse In regard to the article in The Pride regarding Cal State Squares, it should be noted that the writer failed to complete her research on the questions posed during the game. Had she asked ASI what the source of their questions was, she would have found that all of our questions pertaining to the University came from the University Library Archives. As ASI believes that source to be reliable, we accept their informa- tion as accurate. In addition, in a conversation with Rick Moore, University Communications Director, and Barbara Bashein, VP for External Affairs, it was agreed that the official mascot of the University is the Cougar, not the Tukwut. The two are not the same.

Finally, I am sure you realize that in the original Hollywood Squares game, the individuals in the squares sometimes intentionally provide wrong answers to the questions, attempting to throw the contestants off. It is clear that the President of the University was doing this when he answered the question. To suggest otherwise is really unfounded and a stretch. In response to the second issue you raised, ASI is cognizant of how the Hollywood Squares game is played. Our original intent was to have only one round i n each game, and yes, we do realize that is a deviation from the original game. Our first game went much quicker than anticipated, so we decided to play three rounds in the second game to extend the time duration; thus, there was a difference You certainly have the right between the two games. to print whatever you choose. I am simply disappointed that your writer chose not to do the research on the article and then offered information to your readers that was inaccurate. I thought the integrity of the Pride writers was higher. Sincerely, Keith B. Keith Speers Executive Director Associate Students, Inc. Cal State San Marcos 760.750.4990 A Response to Keith Speers Letter This letter is a response to the letter that was sent to the pride by Keith Speers, regarding the article that written on Cal State Squares. I am the author of the article and sat in the crowd the day of the event. I wanted to respond to your concerns in the following way: In response to your comment about me not doing the research, I have no need to find out where you specifically got the answers to your questions. Just as you believed that you were lookiiig to a reliable source when finding your answers, I believed I was doing the same when asking Rick Moore, who is public relations for the university, who the mascot was of the university. He said himself that the Tukwut was the mascot. I asked specifically if the, the TUkwut, was the same thing as the cougar and was given the response of yes. Rick Moore now claims that he made a mistake and said that he was unaware that the two things were different. The fact that he did not know what the mascot of PS: I agree with Martha Sarabia. There are tons of Spanish speakSincerely, ers on this community and pubErman Gokcimen lishing articles in Spanish is not wrong for the sake of diversity. If there were over couple hundred the university was seems unacceptable to me being that he is in the position he is. In my article I quoted his response to my question. That is what he said, even if he is now saying that he was mistaken. My quote was accurate. Furthermore, the contestant answered the question with the response: "The Tukwut, the cougar," implying that the two were the same. You made no distinction to him to imply that they were different. Although it may not be in the rules of Hollywood Squares to clarify, when even Rick Moore answers the question wrong, you must know that you have asked a bad question. In regards to the first round being played wrong, I called your office and was told that it was supposed to be three rounds, but that you had made a mistake. otherwise. President Gonzalez had no business answering the question wrong that the university was founded. It looks bad on the part of the university for him to not answer that correctly, and he should have enough business sense to know that, regardless of the fact that it is occasionally done on Hollywood squares. It is absolutely not a stretch to state the fact of what happened at the game, and that's what I did. I never gave my opinion on the matter, but stated the fact that it occurred. I did plenty of research, and left out many other mistakes that were made, including multiple names being pulled out of the box at one time when the contestants were being drawn. I would appreciate if the next time you feel that the Pride misrepresents something, that you do YOUR research and find That is the exact thing I was out that your own office gave that told and I can not be responsible information to me! if I am given the wrong information by the source. If it was your S i n c e r e T 1y , initial intent to have only one Melissa Reed round in each game, your office was unaware of that and told me students on this campus who spoke Serbian, I would say, yeah go ahead and publish something Civan Erman Gokcimen in Serbian, but please, let's not President, International Club come up with ridiculous ideas just to oppose articles in Spanish. �Response to Crystal Rodriguez Critique In response to Crystal J. Rodriguez on the "Separate but Not Equal" article: I think you are missing the point. I don't think Melissa Reed has a "Utopianistic" view of American diversity. I think we can all agree that tolerance of diversity in America is not what it should be. However, one way off getting one step closer is to stop alienating certain cultures by lumping them together under the heading of "Ethnic". That says that cultures of African, Mexican or Japanese origin are different than "real" or "normal" (read: white) American culture. Literature and Writing majors should not be forced to take classes on Ethnic Literature; they should be forced to take classes on American Literature, which by definition should already include different backgrounds. Another option would be to not call any class "American" and give them all descriptive names such as I don't think the objective of an ethnic studies course is wrong.

How does ASI or the CSUSM administration remedy the errors? First, the ASI or administration admits the errors occurred and publicly apologizes to those adversely affected by those errors. Second, the ASI or administration awards those adversely affected the equivalent award then those previously awarded without adversely affecting those students already awarded. Third, when having future competitions, the ASI or administration selects individuals that are competent and can maintain the integrity of the competitions. I write to point out some misunderstandings in your story about "Cal State Squares." The initial question was "Is the Tukwut the official mascot of Cal State San Marcos?" The correct answer is no, because the Cougar is the mascot. paper won't mean very much.

Sgt. Bill McCullough of the Campus Police arrived at the scene, and after observing the questionable substance and securing the rest­ room, determined that it was not anthrax. The fire department was then contacted, as well as the Department of Environmental Health, Hazardous Materials division. “The air conditioning systems on the 2nd floor of University were shut down immediately,” said McCullough. The entire second floor was also barricaded. “We knew right when we looked at it that it was baby powder,” explained McCullough, after observing the substance. “The fire department and Hazardous Materials thought the same thing.” Nick Vent, of the County. Hazardous Materials Division, tested the white substance with an anthrax kit. With the results from the anthrax testing, Kent concluded that the material was baby powder. Vent said that anthrax calls are rare; however, since recent anthrax scares, the Hazardous Materials Division has been on alert for powdery substances, and they have responded to numerous false alarms. “Hazardous Materials responded to two anthrax calls in the last two years,” said McCullough. “They have responded to over 100 calls since the anthrax scare started last week.” He advised, “If something is out of place, such as a large amount of powdery substance in a bathroom, on keyboards, or » A rtic le cont. on pg. 2 Community Building Addressed at Club Meeting By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer including members from all rec­ ognized campus organizations.

The recent anthrax incidents in Florida and New York have put a strain on the U.S. Postal Service, and the CSUSM Mail and Copy Center (MACC). All mail clerks on campus are paying close attention to the shape of pack­ ages, looking to see if there is any substance leaking from the package and checking for return addresses. If the package or envelope has any of these characteristics and .there is a return address, the MACC sends the piece of mail back. If there is no return address, or if it seems overtly suspicious, the MACC may con­ tact the authorities. The normal policy for packages that have inadequate address information is for mail clerks to open the mall and fig­ ure out where they will be deliv­ ered on campus. Now, the pack­ ages must be sent back. “This policy will be in place until either we hear otherwise from a school policy or higher figure ” said mail clerk Marge Cocoran. Clerks who work at the MACC must also wear gloves while sorting mail, which is a newly implemented practice. “We have had these precautions since the Unibomber incident, but we haven’t had to use them until ' now,” said Cocoran. In light of the general panic and false alarms concerning the anthrax scare, McCullough said: “It is better to be safe than have something that is, in fact, anthrax. If there is any question, call public safety.” Individuals may contact Campus Police by dialing their non-emergency number at (760) 750-4567. Faculty and students meditated and murmured positive affirmations on Palm Court last week. (Pride Photo/Jennifer Holmes) Students and Faculty Meditate for Peace » a r tic le cont from pg 1 the Atenteben, a bamboo flute native to Ghana. The group formed a circle in Palm Court to reflect, concen­ trate on world peace, and medi­ tate. Medical reports show that meditation helps reduce stress, feelings of anxiety and anger, improves circulation (through deep breathing), and promotes clarity of mind. The meditation lasted 30 minutes. To conclude the medi­ tation, everyone stood in a cir­ cle holding hands, and one by one shared a positive affirma­ tion out loud with the group. Moon echoed the words of John Lennon, “Give peace a chance.” Other affirmations shared by the group were, “Peace shouldn’t b t, gendered”, and “visualize world peace.” s> D ean o f Students Addresses Inter-Club Committee » A rtic le cont from pg. 1 community on campus. Poullard also discussed the reasons why people are skeptical about getting involved in stu­ dent clubs. Some of the reasons listed by the club representatives were apathy, scheduling issues, lack of communication and mis­ understandings about what the students clubs are about. have never been on a campus where so many students work so many hours a week,” said Poullard about the scheduling problems that many CSUSM students face and which, according to the club representa­ tives, have been an obstacle for more students who might want to get involved in campus life. He also asked club represen­ tatives to give their reasons why they joined a student club. Some of the reasons given were to build a resume, to have a sense of belonging, and for a social life. Later, in Palm Court, Poullard held an icebreaker game for the club representatives, which allowed them to introduce themselves to one another. “He was just basically show­ ing how clubs should com­ municate with each other to achieve certain goals,” said Nick Grafstrom, Chairman of Young Americans for Freedom. Before the meeting, the club representatives were given a free luncheon catered by PowerSurge Cafe in Palm Court. Julie Wright, Coordinator of Clubs and Organizations, said that in upcoming ICC meetings, fundraising information and guidelines will be discussed. The next ICC meeting will be held from 12w 2 p.m., Nov. 16 in to University Hall 373. Lunch will also be served in Palm Court before the meeting. Wright said that all subse­ quent meetings for this semester will be held from 12 to 2 p.m., in University Hall 373. Racism Forum Held » A rtic le cont from pg. 1 were m ost. definitely hate crimes, but also encouraged peo­ ple to realize that terrorism goes on everyday around the world. Another listener mentioned her fear of Middle-Eastemers in the wake of the tragedy, to which Patel responded, “The majority of Middle Eastern people have come out and condemned these attacks.” “ R a cism h as always m an ifested i tself in the f orm o f terror. — Ricardo Favela CSUSM Student Patel also said “it’s impor­ tant [to figure out] what we can do, even if it’s just reaching out a hand and publicly stating that we are in solidarity - it’s the best way we can move for­ ward.” “We need to create a differ­ ent atmosphere, community and world,” Patel said. Orzala Sharif, a member of the group Afghan American Youth, echoed many of Patel’s sentiments, “We fervently con­ demn the Taliban and extend sympathy to the victims ... The Taliban and Afghan should not be used interchangeably.” Sharif called the Taliban “a wild group of trained militia who destroyed the spirit, cul­ ture, and history of the Afghan people.” Sharif also shared some of Afghanistan’s history and cul­ ture, before the Taliban took control. “Women used to dress as I am dressed today. We’ve always believed in education, a civilized way of life. Women voted; we had a constitutional monarchy —it was not always what’s depicted on TV today ” Several others who spoke also mentioned U.S. involvevment with the Taliban and other governments, encouraging the audience to remember the facts about the history of the U.S. Sociology professor Sharon Elise, who asked the audience to question the events since Sept. 11, and their portrayal, said, “It may be decades before we know what’s going on. There is always an answer, contrived, packaged and handed to us [by the media and the government.]” “It was the same thing with Panama and Noriega, Guatemala - the U.S. has a very long and interesting history. The answers aren’t going to come out of the television.” Ricardo Favela, a member of M.E.Ch.A., but who spoke as a student rather than a club mem­ ber, also spoke out about exam­ ining U.S. policies, and ques­ tioned the motivations behind “America’s New War.” “I hope this war is sincere -r a war against terrorism and not people,” said Favela. “If we’re going to have a war on terrorism, we need to acknowledge fronts, the terrorism that goes on [on a smaller scale] everyday. Many people experience terrorism on a daily basis across the world - racism has always manifested itself in the form of terror.” Favela went on to offer examples of terrorism that minority groups continually face, including the recent U.S. citation for violation of human rights due to border policies. Many of the audience mem­ bers, students and faculty alike, chose to speak out simply as individuals at the forum, despite their various involvements in clubs, groups and other organi­ zations. Student Honee Folk includ­ ed some personal background about discrimination, and shared a story about her mother’s expe­ riences, during WWII and today, as a minority. “I know what it feels like, and I know many of you know what it feels like [to be dis­ criminated against.] Don’t get so far removed that you allow yourselves to do this to other people.” “We are focusing so much on ‘them” ’ Folk continued, “and so many people .are doing what we had to fight so hard, so often, against in the past.” Dr. Sharon Elise, a Sociology professor, spoke at Tuesday’ forum. s (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) Only a few other students spoke out, and Elise encour­ aged the audience to continue to speak, to ask the questions that need to be addressed. “Your silence will not protect you,” Elise said. “We better get people speaking, and thinking, even it’s only to ask more questions.” Steve Weiner then chose to ask Elise her views on Louis Farrakhan. Elise replied, “I don’t think Farrakhan is significant in this. People say stupid shit [alluding to Farrakhan], and those of the same ethnic back­ ground seem to be associated with those who say stupid shit.” Elise continued, “These are not the questions that need to be asked. We need to think about people who have power over minds, media and the military, not people who get media atten­ tion which is then used against us.’? �Davis Signs Diverse Legislation By JAMES NEWELL Pride Staff Writer In a rush to meet las Sunday’s deadline for the 2001 state legislation session, Gov. Gray Davis, amid controversy, signed 948 and vetoed 169 o: 1,117 proposed bills sent to the) California Legislature. The bills] included a wide variety of pro posals, from telemarketing bam and elementary school food t gun control and gay rights. The issues proving to be thd most controversial are changes in) a wide range of gay rights lawsj new gun control regulations, andj stricter environmental laws. Proponents of gay rights wel corned the new legislation signe by Davis. Judith Stacey, a sociolo gist at the University of Souther: California, said, “Marriage is ai ever-changing institution, even though most people don’t realize it.” Passed by the minimum amount of votes needed, the bill legally aligns same-sex marriag­ es closer to traditional marriag­ es. In addition, the bill grants legal power to older heterosexualpartners, allowing each partner to make medical decisions on behalf of the other and take sick leave when such a situation aris­ es. * Opponents of the new leg­ islation said they believe such laws will undermine society and promote unstable family struc­ tures. Randy Thomasson, execu­ tive director of the Campaign for California Families, said, “People voted to protect the rights of marriage. This is chipping away Gov. Gray Davis signed 948 new bills and vetoed 169 last week. ( Courtesy Photo/Gov. Gray Davis web site) at that.” Amid objections from the NRA ; (National Rifle Association), Davis also signed a bill supporting new gun control standards. The new bill requires prospective buyers to not only provide a fingerprint, but to pass a written test, and then show an instructor they have necessary skills to fire a weapon properly. Davis also passed a law, which now allows a database to be set up, identifying gun owners who legally purchased firearms and later became ineligible for own­ ership. Further controversy ensued when Davis signed three new bills in favor of advocates for stricter environmental regulations. The first bill forces developers to con­ form to standard rules when they subdivide land prior to develop­ ing. This law is to keep develop­ ers from using out of date prop­ erty records to raise property value by avoiding newer zoning maps. The second bill places a $2.6 billion bond in the hand% of California voters. If it is passed in March, the bond will allow the state to sell bonds to fund state and local parks projects. And third, Davis vetoed a bill that would have allowed antiquated oil plat­ forms to be left in the ocean for artificial reefs. . Oil companies said they believe the platforms would not cause harm to the marine envi­ ronment and thought the plat­ forms would eventually serve as a breeding ground for fish and other marine life. Environmental supporters of the bill said they believe that the possibility of harm “outweighs any doubtful benefits” said Warner Chabot, Vice President of the Ocean Conservancy. Closer to home, Davis vetoed a bill that would have allowed San Diego County to form an independent energy utility. Davis contends that San Diego resi­ dents must pay their fair share of the $10 billion used during the energy crisis. Opposing San Diegans believe they shouldn’t have to pay for Gray’s poor deci­ sions regarding power. San Diego Supervisor Bill Horn said, “It’s time to pull the. governor’s plug.” Davis also vetoed a bill that would have stimulated California farming. .The bill would have required hospitals and prisons to use California grown produce. Instead, Davis will be using a $5 million dollar advertising cam­ paign next spring to try to get Californians to eat more locally grown food. Assemblyman Simon Salinas, who represents an area of dense farming, said, “I think in general it would have been symbolic to say ‘we support our California agriculture.’” In less controversial legisla­ tion, Davis signed a bill that by 2003 will give people the right, and a way, to avoid telemarket­ ing. The bill will give telephone customers a choice to pay a $1 fee and be placed on ^ “do not call” list. “In today’s busy world, we need as much peace and quiet as possible,” said Davis. Davis also passed 13 new crime bills, including one that will fine adults who leave chil­ dren in cars without supervision, and another that weighs old con­ victions, like DUIs, when sen­ tencing again for the same crime. He also passed new higher nutri­ tion standards for food being pro­ vided to students at public ele­ mentary and middle schools. Unless otherwise specified or a statewide vote is needed, most of these new legislative bills go into effect Jan. 1, 2002. Those who would like more infor­ mation about new state bills are asked to visit the Official California Legislative web site at www.leginfo.ca.gov.

This was the third time I’ve seen you (remember the first time in Halifax, Canada, when your show got postponed two days because of a snow­ storm? I had driven five hours to see the show and had to stay for it, so I holed up in my buddy Steve’s drafty apartment, wait­ ing, smoking hash and playing cards). I got better seats this time. You began promptly at eight, opening the show with “Wait for the Light to Shine” — a song :you didn’t even write. Somehow it fit though. You walked right out in your match­ ing black and white gentlemancowboy suit and boots, looking all bones and angles. The rest of the band filled in around you like the ghost riders in the sky Willie Nelson sings' about. 1 noticed how Charlie Sexton (does he really play rhythm guitar for you?), discreetly picking away on his cherrv-red Gretsch “Country Gentleman”, rarely took his eyes off you.

In “My First Mister,” Jennifer (Leelee Sobieski), or J, as she likes to be called, is a pierced, tattooed, 17-year-old goth chick who is a self-made misfit at school and at home. She writes her own eulogies and watches people through opera glasses, which distort (with the help of funny special effects) her view in an Ally McBeal kind of way. J uses her sharp wit to hide from people and from the lover she thinks she doesn’t deserve. After failed attempts to get a job at the mall (a place J abhors), she meets Randall (Albert Brooks), nicknamed R. Randall, a 49-year-old single, straightlaced, uptight, “nice guy,” who has a secret that keeps him from making personal connections and commitments. Randall gives J a job .at his menswear store on the condition that she “takes the sil­ verware out of her face,” because she is “scaring the customers.” (J responds to this by yelling to a passerby, “Bool”) J and Randall begin a some­ what awkward, but often touch­ ing, relationship. The humor in “My First Mister” often comes from J and the way she sees the world. Humor is an important element Leelee Sobeiski and Albert Brooks star in “My First M ister” (Courtesy Photo/Myfirstmistermovie.com) for this story, because without humor the movie would be.taking itself too seriously, and some of the more depressing moments in the story would be overwhelm­ ing. With or without her opera glasses, J’s perspective is unique. In one scene her mother drives her from school, and through the glasses J sees her talkative mother as Gene Simmons in full Kiss makeup, tongue unfurled in all its glory. In another scene, J gives a class presentation about her life, and she sees her class­ mates with their heads down, asleep on their desks, and so bored that they can’t even stay awake to listen to J talk. Another funny moment is when Randall tells J how to sort and arrange the items in the back of the store, and she sees his balding head on top of a posing body builder. Thankfully, the sexual com­ ponent of J and Randall’s rela­ tionship is only touched upon when J wonders what it would be like to have an older lover. In her wondering, J pictures Randall as her lover: the middle- aged Randall dressed in black from head to toe, dancing, and grooving through the coffeehouse which J frequents. “My lover, I like the sound of that,” said J. After some bumbling moments, both J and Randall realize that their relationship should not and cannot go further than a friend­ ship. Any more sexuality in their relationship, and the audience would be squeamish — none of us want to see our moms or dads dating someone our age! This movie could be passed off as a typical “coming-of-age” movie, but it is more than that — it is funny and warm, with tender performances by both Sobieski and Brooks. Their relationship reminded me of the relationship in “Harold and Maude,” between the optimistic Maude and the morbid Harold. Their odd rela­ tionship was the basis for a movie about the strength and depth of love, and “My First Mister” has the same message. Unlike “Harola and Maude,” neither J nor Randall see the beauty in the world, but when they find each other, they realize that there are reasons to live the best life possible. As J, Sobieski takes a notice­ able turn from the tall, blonde, all-American teenager she has played in recent movies. She is raven-haired, raccoon-eyed, and dreary in all black. But she has the thoughtful, poetic, sheltered, brooding J down pat. And with Albert Brooks as Randall, the two actors create an interesting chemistry of two misfits and a father/daughter on screen. It’s hard to understand what they would ever have in common, but they pull off the relationship. And as for those special “F” words in the movie? Fate, friend­ ship, and family. You’ll have to see the movie to find out what the rest are. “My First Mister” is direct­ ed by Academy-award winning actress/director Christine Lahti. The movie is rated R. �The Pride _ Arts &Entertainment_ Tuesday, October 23,2001 5 Latino Food Festival By JOY WHITMAN Pride Staff Writer Joseph Sanchez, a graduate student, enjoys free nachos h anded out by ASI during the Latino Food Festival. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) By ANN BENING Pride Staff Writer Balloons, bratwurst, and bands were some of the many features of last week’s German Festival. Coordinated by CSUSM’s German Program and German Club, and sponsored by Associated Students, Inc., the Students experienced many multi-cultural awareness activi­ ties last week, with not only the German Festival, but also the Latino Food Festival, which cefebrated Latino Heritage Month. The ASI programming com­ mittee sponsored the Latino Food Festival and concert on Wed., from 11 am . to 1 p.m. at the Dome Plaza. The rock band “Emaue” per­ festival had a carnival-like atmo­ sphere. German band, Guggemusik Altossema Rhoigeischda, from Heidelberg, performed, wearing flamboyantly designed outfits that included capes and green tinsel. Their appearance is influ­ enced by their travels to Carnival. “Our self-made costumes really formed and in between sets stu­ dents also enjoyed music from Radio Latina. There was a food mmm tasting table set up, where many students sampled foods from local restaurants. Chips and salsa were a favorite snack for the stu­ dents that day. Students may also look for­ ward to a larger celebration of cultural heritage with El Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead), which will be held on “Emaue, a Latino rock band, performed fo r the students.

Other bands, including Rivers of Babylon, O La Paloma, and Autobahn, also played dur­ ing the three-day long festival. Dr. Astrid Ronke, ” German Club adviser, said she was enthusiastic about students learning the German language, and saw the festival as one way for individuals to, learn more about the culture. Terence Jaffer, a sopho­ more and business major, had taken one of Ronke’s German classes. “The German Program is growing on campus and becom­ ing more popular through the fes­ tival,” said Jaffer. “I’ve learned so much in her class and wished it was offered as a minor.” In celebration of the German festival, The Dome offered meals of Wiener schnit­ zel, fried potatoes, sauerkraut, and soda for $4.29. �R acism Forum and Student Grievance Campus By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor First of all,- I want to voice my opinion as a student, not as a representative of The Pride. The racism forum sponsored by the student newspaper on Tuesday at Founders’ Plaza turned out well, but not as many students showed up as I would have liked. To the students that did come, however, I thank you all and I am very glad that you are taking the time to hear other opinions, voice your own, and create a sense of community on this campus. However, I was extremely disappointed when I opened the North County Times on Wednesday morning. Two stu­ dents actually took the time to hunt down the N CT reporter to complain that they were not represented, but neither student bothered to speak at the forum. In fact, I only saw one of them in attendance, and that student left in the middle of the forum. I want to address a couple of problems with thisF irst, all students were welcome to speak and be represented. That is the point of an open forum. Yes, we did have a few speak­ ers — not panelists as Darren Marks, one student who com­ plained, suggested. This was not a panel discussion closed from outside student voice. The forum included a few speakers who are active in anti-racism discussions, events, teachings, and so on. Not everyone that should have been represented was represented at the forum, for several reasons. One, many schedules conflicted with the time of the forum. Two, many people did not show up to speak to represent themselves, particularly the two students that complained they were not invit­ ed. “The “ point” o f a forum is for students to voice their opinion. Not to stay silent to the stu­ dents, then complain behind their backs.” Everyone was invited. We sent an e-mail out to all faculty and staff. (We were not, how­ ever, able to e-mail all students). We posted and distributed fly­ ers; we placed flyers in mail­ boxes, particularly the Student and Residential Life club mail­ boxes. We also sent an e-mail out to the Inter^Club Committee listerv, so that all clubs could be informed at one time. We encouraged everyone to come to the forum and speak, either as an individual or as a representative for an organization. But, as student Darren Marks stated to the N CT reporter, “I think the forum was hijacked by one political group and it was not a true forum. I agree to an extent with what the other speakers said but I think the idea of why we were gathering, the people who died in those build­ ings, was sold short.” First, the reason we gathered at the forum was not about the tragic loss at the WTC. It was to deal with racism issues. Yes, of course WTC is involved in the larger issue, but that was not the reason for the forum. Second, I spoke with Marks moments before he ran to the press, and invited him to speak once the speakers were finished. He wanted to be part of a panel. I explained that we did not have a panel but a forum, and that he was welcome to speak once the next person was finished. He did not. In fact, he left the forum early. The “point” of the forum is for students, such as Marks, to voice their opinion. Not to stay silent to the students, then complain behind their backs. Marks pointed out in the N CT that our forum was not a true forum. What is a true forum? A forum is defined in Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary as “a public meeting place for an open discussion or a medium (as a newspaper) of open discussion or expression of ideas.” Our racism forum was a true forum, as are the opinion pages of The Pfiide. A panel is defined as a group of persons who discuss a topic of public interest before an audi­ ence. A panel is more restrictive in terms of allowing audience participation. This is not what The Pride wanted. Marks failed to mention to the N CT that the last open cam­ pus forum that was held was designed as a panel, a panel that he sat on. The Pride did invite a few speakers as a means of keeping the discussion going. I am glad that the speakers came, and especially glad that the Afghan American Youth Organization came to our campus and spoke. As for Marks’ comment about political hijacking, this is ridiculous. Of course. there are politics involved — the issue is inherently political in nature — but the forum was not affiliated with a particular political party or faction. Erik Caldwell, a representa­ tive for the College Republicans, claimed in the N CT article that he was not invited to speak as a representative of his club. Again, check the ICC listerv. And next time there is a forum, please attend and feel free to speak. Beat At the graduation open forum, two weeks ago, students concerned about the recent administrative decision to relocate next semester’s graduation cer­ emonies to the Del Mar Fair Grounds had the opportunity to speak out. How­ ever, Founders’ Plaza remained nearly empty that day. “Why is it that most students say they dislike the university’s decision in moving graduation off campus, yet hardy anyone supported the forum in attendance?” By JUSTIN ANDREWS Pride Staff Writer I have received many e-mails from students expressing their concern. I would not call the lack of students at the forum apathy. I know many stu­ dents could not attend. It’s the lack of administration attendance that shows the underprovided sense of community here on campus. This is against our five basic core values, our mission state­ ment, and Alexander Gonzalez’s .con­ vocation address.” Robert F. McArdle II Graduating Senior Letters to the Editors Call for Activism My purpose in writing this brief letter is to encourage addi­ tional activism on the part of the CSUSM community: students, faculty and staff. It is not enough to react to events in the world. For our own survival, as part of the human race, we need to pre­ vent man-made disasters wher­ ever they may occur: oppres­ sion and injustice, which lead to terrorism/war. The Internet offers us a means to become informed as well as involved. I would like to recommend sev­ eral websites: To find out how the U.S. and other nations stand on the issue of human rights : aiusa.org (Amnesty International) and humanrightswatch.org; To learn about the plight of Afghan women (who oppose a government by either the Taliban or the Northern Alliance): rawa.org; To contact the President’s office and Congressional mem­ bers: congress.org. I would also like to encour­ age everyone to read an editorial by Jonathan Schell, “Annihilation and the Ways of Peace,” which now appears at thenation.com, and to watch “Link,” an inter­ national television channel, that offers multiple perspectives from around the world. Dr. Mayra Besosa Professor World Languages Dept. Student Feels the Calm of the Sea After all the violence that has been going on lately in the news, I picked Up the current Pride and started reading. I got to the article by James Newell titled, “Surfing a Way of Life, Dude.” The article made me smile, feel peace, remember the days, then laugh. It was great. I could see Jeff Spicolli or Jim talking about surfing. I felt the calm of the sea. I don’t surf, but I felt it. We needed this story at time like this. Thanks a lot, Jim. Good job. Dorothy Bruno Student Amputate President Gonzalez The United States was found­ ed on the principles of freedom and equality. CSUSM is a public institution in the United States; why then are policies at CSUSM decidedly unequal? Parking at CSUSM can cur­ rently be grouped into three dif­ ferent categories: disabled, staff/ faculty, and student. Yet all per­ sons are supposed to be created equal. If we are created equal, should we not be treated as equals? Not at CSUSM, appar­ ently. • It is certainly understand­ able that those who are disabled have the ability to park in the closest spaces. Parking for dis­ abled persons is a reasonable accommodation to provide for those who need it, and according­ ly, many people at CSUSM take advantage of the special parking spaces accordingly, teachers and students alike. What is wrong, however, is the special privileges granted to staff, faculty, and administra­ tors. These people do not need to receive better access to prefera­ ble parking spaces than students. Arguments to drag a great deal of material to class every day, and arrive on time. If teachers and admin­ istrators cannot plan success­ fully to get themselves and their belongings where they need to be on time, they are lacking skills necessary for their job. Parking space location should not be a bandage to cover up for laziness or poor time manage­ ment anymore than it should be used to create special privileges for special (unequal) people. The solution is simple. End the use of special lots or spaces for anyone other than disabled persons. If President Gonzalez or anyone else feels a need to join the parking elite, they should cut off their foot, and get a blue placard for using disabled park­ ing spaces. David J.

The team competed against five other schools in the 5,000-meter race, scoring 67 points. Lanelle Cox placed 10th, Manal Yamont placed 13th, Katherine Niblett placed 15th, Felisha Mariscal placed 32nd, and Samantha Delagradelle placed 34th. CSUSM cross-country also placed third at the UCSD 2001 Triton Classic Cross-Country Invitation on Saturday, October 13. Competing against 16 teams, CSUSM team scored 83 points in the 8-kilometer race. Omar Zavala placed 15th, Rene Reyes placed 16th, Kris Houghton placed 17th, Michael Shannon placed 28th, Robbie McClendon placed 33rd, Justin Lessel placed 86th, Brandon Cline placed 119th, and Jeff Green placed 131st. The cross-country season began more than month ago on Sept. 8, when the Cougars competed in the UC Irvine Invitational. The men’s team placed fifth out of 16 teams, and the women’s team placed 14th out of 18 teams. On Saturday, Sept. 15, the Aztec Invitational was can­ celled due to the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11. “Since we didn’t run that weekend, the following Saturday, Sept. 22, we com­ peted at UC Riverside,” said Steve Scott, head coach for the cross-country team. The men’s team placed second out of 24 teams that Saturday, and although the women had a slow start, they finished 14th out of 25 teams. “We have a strong team this year, as long as all the ath­ letes are healthy,” said Scott. On Saturday, Sept. 29, the Cougars raced at the Stanford Invitational. The women’s team finished 12th out of 19 com­ peting teams, arid the men’s team finished 12th out of the 28 teamSj “The results of this invi­ tational are part of the mid-sea­ son low, as some of the athletes are injured, tired and stressed,” said Scott. He also added that most of the athletes are full­ time students who work. “We’re trying, working hard and doing good, but I know we can and will do better,” said freshman Manal Yamout.

Rather than find real solutions to the access crisis, typical administration responses, such as raising entrance standards and excluding students who need remediation, only serve to limit access to deserving students. THE FISCAL CRISIS: According to toe California Budget Project, higher education funding as a proportion of toe State’s General Fund has fallen dramatically. In toe last 20 years, government spending on CSU has been cut nearly in half, from 6,5% to 3.5%. CaBf&fnta faculty &s»#eiat!cr THE ENROLLMENT CRISIS: Over the next few years toe CSU is expecting an unprecedented wave of new students. Yet toe CSU , Administration and toe State Legislature have no real plan to hire enough full time faculty, librarians, counselors or coaches to meet the needs ot the growing student population. Between 1994*95 and 2000, student enrobment has jumped by 35,000 fu( time student equivalents, ^ yet only one new tenuriMraek faculty position has.been added. In fact in ' 20GG there were 1400 fewer terwnHrack faculty in toe CSU than in 1990. THE FACULTY CRISIS; Instead of tenured faculty, CSU has hired lecturers, who are not compensated tor counseling, mentoring or developing curriculum. Sometimes called “freeway flyers* because they must teach at multiple colleges and universities in order to make a p n g , these dedicated instructors have no benefits or job security. At toe same time, tenured faculty salaries are so tow and toe workload so high that the CSU can’t attract and retain new faculty. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

L earning C enter ^Le C ollege L ife By: Victoria Segall Pride Editor Sixty-two graduate and professional schools participated in CSUSM's 7th Annual Graduate and Professional School Fair at Founders Plaza on October 23. From 10am to 1pm, students were able to speak with school representatives and collect college brochures and application materials. "Students really like it. It's a time when they can speak informally with college recruiters with no worries about how it will affect their recruitments," said Susan Buck, CSUSM Career Counselor and Graduate Fair Coordinator. "It's a good opportunity to spend a short period of time gathering lots of information," added Sandy Punch, Director of the Career and Assessment Center. Representatives from Tuskegee Institute attending the fair mark the first time that the campus was able get a historically acknowledged African-American college to participate. Punch and Buck both said that for several years CSUSM has invited predominately historical African-American colleges to participate in the fair; however, this is the first year they've been able to attend. "It's very hard to draw colleges that are historically AfricanAmerican. Most of the colleges are from the Midwest and East " said Punch. The university typically invites CSU, UC, and nearby state schools because demographics and student surveys show that CSUSM students tend to remain close to Southern California. CSUSM's Graduate Fair is scheduled around a system-wide schedule that also includes SDSU, UCSD and Point Loma Nazarene. The schools hold their fairs one day this week. The schools typically rotate fair days every year so that the fairs are held on different days of the week each year. Out of the 23 CSUs, CSUSM is one of only seven schools that host the fair. After the fair, students received information on how to apply for graduate and professional schools during a workshop held in Commons 206.

By: Nathan Fields Pride Staff Writer "This Campus seems very sterile to me," said Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard when asked about the state of free speech on campus. Poullard is currently sitting on the Campus Committee for Free Speech, Solicitation, and Distribution, deciding, among other issues, where to relocate the Free Speech, area. But the voice of students seems so quiet that few know that a Free Speech area already exists at CSUSM. Yet, with the campus and the surrounding areas developing as quickly as they are, many believe that the community environment on campus will soon change drastically, which will affect both use and location of the Free Speech area. Dean Poullard says, "The University is moving toward a student-centered philosophy, and Meet Stephen Arts and Building, extending as far back as FCB. No one could give confident predictions on where the future Free Speech area would be located, though one suggestion seems to be the grassy area near the Caesar Chavez statue. President Gonzalez noted that, "Right now, our facilities are so small that it's hard to get five people together in the Free Speech area. As the campus grows, it will probably shift down by the stairs between the library and the Caesar Chavez statue." "The space should be visible and central, but not disruptive to student traffic," said Dean Poullard. Poullard also said that the next location for the Free CSUSM's Free Speech area Speech area "will probably only Photo by Melanie Addington. be temporary before the Presently, the Free Speech University's growth shifts the area is situated between center of campus again.

A second Freshman for a Day session took place on Tuesday, October 17. Calendar IIIIIJIII1 J : | Page 8 1*8*7 Ms "Being in college is like a rollercoaster," said Jesus Ramirez. Ramirez was one of thirty students from Crawford High School who had the opportunity to experience college life at CSUSM on Thursday, October 19. The students were part of CSUSM's Freshman for a Day Program (FFAD). The program works to "enrich and motivate high school students who have not been exposed to college life," according CSUSM's Outreach and Recruitment, which coordinates the FFADProgram. The high school students began the day at 9am. They were given a campus tour, learned about admission requirements, attended actual class lectures, took notes and received class assignments. "All students are in the AVID Program," said Karen Rogoff, a Crawford High School counselor. AVID (Advanced Via Individual Determination) is a high school program that encourages and helps high school students with college applications, preparation for SAT's, and helps students partake in college preparatory courses. Ramirez felt that more students could benefit from programs such as FFAD and AVID. After visiting the campus, many of the Crawford students said they were considering attending college.

In regard to the Free Speech area, Deborah Smith, in CSUSM's Office of Public Relations, states, "As the university grows, where it is now will not be a central location, which is important for a Free Speech area. Additionally, it is important that this area be easily accessible to and monitored by university police. We don't want there to be any threat of it getting out of control." Lieutenant Bill McCullough with the campus police, whose duty it is to monitor the Free Speech area, spoke of his 18 years of experience policing Los Angeles State's Free Speech area, citing vast differences of the Free Speech area's usage on the two campuses: "Although I have seen L.A.'s Free Speech area as the site of physical confrontations between groups ranging from the Revolutionary Communist Youth to supporters of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Moonies, I think that this [CSUSM] is an institution of higher learning and that the creative exchange of ideas is very important here. If someone is saying something offensive, you do not have to stand there and listen to it. It is our duty to insure not only the rights of the listeners, but also those of the speaker, and that*, a reasonable volume and level of safety is adhered to." Deborah Smith, commented that "In public institutions, especially educational institutions, Free Speech is seen as sacrosanct, but it cannot disrupt education." However, aside from a few complaints from professors last semester concerning the minister's volume, disruption of education has been little threat given the relative non-use of free speech on campus. ing the right of public school students to wear black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War. In 1989 (Texas v. Johnson) and again in 1990 (U.S. v. Eichman), the Court struck down government bans on "flag desecration." Other examples of protected symbolic speech include works of art, T-shirt slogans, political buttons, musical lyrics and theatrical performances. Dean Poullard, while wishing to see more students exercise their constitutional First Amendment Are students apathetic? The Free Speech area is sometimes utilized demurely by fraternities or random club activities, but the marketplace of ideas was untouched other than a Ralph Nader support group this semester, and minister Jeb Smock last spring. * Student Karen Gibson noted, "we are guaranteed Free Speech by The First Amendment to the Constitution, yet on the CSUSM campus, there is little concern that our voices will be silenced by the institution's power because we apathetically silence our own voices." In its 1969 decision in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School DistrictT the Supreme Court held that students in public schools do not relinquish their First Amendment rights once on campus, recogniz- off-campus. This student's focus is oh their family, getting to work, getting to classes, finding their advisor, finding a parking place, getting off campus, and finishing school - and not on a Free Speech area and the issues raised or not raised there," said Poullard. However, many students welcome the idea of a Free Speech area, asserting, like student Kristie Simonson, that "it would be good to hear people's ideas about things; to hear different points of view." Student Juan Ortiz was surprised to hear that we had a Free Speech area but excitedly wished for "more public political discussion." Asked if she knew where the Free Speech area was, student Patricia Byers quizzically remarked, "I guess I just assumed that the Free Speech area was everywhere." How do we speak up? Forum Plaza is a one possible spot for the new Free Speech area.

"At San Marcos, where the average student age is 26, the student's energies are mostly focused "I want to see fliers, I want to see posters, I want to see people arguing in the quad over sensitive issues, I want to see students engaged in dialogue," asserted Poullard. As no school official was able to give any clear-cut CSUSM guidelines for use of the Free Speech area, students must assume that there aren't any aside from those stipulated in the Constitution. Lieutenant Bill McCullough predicts "Free Speech area guidelines will most likely develop as more people use the area, so there becomes a sort of give and take between what is allowable and what isn't." Of course, institutional guidelines must comply with those given in the U.S. Constitution. Students have a constitutional right to express their opinions as long as they do so in a way that doesn't "materially and substantially" disrupt classes or other school activities. If you completely block entrances to the buildings or walkways, school officials can stop you. They can probably also stop you from using language that they think is "vulgar or indecent." Government can also limit some protected speech by imposing "time, place and manner" restrictions. This is most commonly done by requiring permits for meetings, rallies and demonstrations. But such permits, which CSUSM has not yet required, cannot be unreasonably withheld, nor can it be denied based on content of the speech. Officials have stipulated, however, that any use of the Free Speech area by persons not working at or attending CSUSM must notify Public Safety and sign a liability waiver form, freeing the University from any responsibility in case of injury. For any students wishing to voice an opinion about the location or use of the Free Speech area, Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard can be reached at (760) 750-4935. ipt | Child Trot New A.S.I.

MONTEREY LANGUAGE & San Diego Campaign Madness I I By: Victor Mireles Pride Staff Writer Driving towards the North Coast Democratic Debate Viewing Party, a news report said that Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Joseph Lieberman was in San Diego watching the debate at a local charter high school. Immediately, plans changed and this reporter was off to High Tech High School. But a problem soon arose: no one seemed to know the school's location. At 5:55pm, local programming was interrupted and the debate coverage began. While I was driving down the 1-5, the debate began with both candidates speaking on foreign policy matters. The constant back and forth of the debate proved soothing, if not boring. At 6:45pm, I gave up the search and headed to the next site where Joe Lieberman was scheduled to appear. Balboa Park's Hall of Champions was the site of a $l,000-a-plate dinner for the Democratic Party. Arriving at 7:10pm, a group of protesters held signs and sang out chants protesting the debates and Lieberman. In effigy, the protesters held a giant man with a shirt covered by a dollar sign that had strings on each of his hands. In his right hand, he held an elephant, and in his left hand, he held a donkey. One member of the protest group, Balmore, stated, "We are here because Nader is not in the debate. He supports universal health care." W TN T F 01 Another protester smiled and laughed while another man who seemed disinterested said, "I just came here with a friend." Across the street was a man in an Armani suit walking towards the Hall of Champions; his gaze never met the protest group. He seemed lost and when asked what he was looking for he replied, "I am looking for my wife. We have to go to the dinner." The police were bored with the protest and talked among themselves. When asked about the protest, one officer said, "I don't care. I have to be here till midnight." Before this reporter was able to get out another question a secret service agent appeared. "Who are you?" he asked. I replied that I was a reporter for The Pride. "I'm sorry. This is a secured area. You will have to leave," said the agent, giving a dirty look to the officer. The police officer began to apologize as I walked across the street. The protesters began to chant, "Human needs, not corporate greed! Let Ralph debate!" Walking away from the event, I passed the man looking for his wife. When asked if he had eaten before the dinner, he laughed and said, "Its not about the food but the cause." Just then his wife appeared wearing a black evening dress. They walked hand-in-hand passing the protesters, the police and a tour bus driver, to eat $1,000 meals. i izfm•HH Ameri ca's Leader OA| p K M m—m in Stud ent cai p I nmi I M Trave I QAI F ^K^Jl^m.

In a film of strong female performances, Sally Field is exceptionally talented behind the camera as well as in front. Based on the theme of beauty pageants, lip-gloss and perfection, this film takes a surprisingly clever look at a young woman, Mona (played by Minnie Driver). Mona is from a small Illinois town that offers her limited opportunities. However, Mona has big dreams of becoming a beauty pageant queen, which she envisions to be a life of perfection, grace, and validation. Her dream of becoming a beauty queen contrasts the reality of her home life with her parents who only care about booze, cigarettes, and television. As her obsession to become a beauty queen grows, Mona is relentless as she manipulates her way through personal obstacles. With determination, Mona takes after school jobs to earn money for braces and singing, dancing, and modeling lessons from the formidable, pageant diva Verna Chickle (played by Kathleen Turner). The ultimate Miss American Miss Pageant offers her hope, change, and a new outlook, and Mona stops at nothing to get to the top. When Mona, against all odds, beats out her competitors to become Miss Illinois, she is finally on her way to compete for the Miss American Miss Pageant. Through witty dialogue and superb direction, memorable scenes unfold in the film. Mona's obsession turns into a confronta- A Look at The San Diego Music Awards By: Lane Harden and Chelsea Loura Pride Staff Writers The 10th Annual San Diego Music Awards took the city by storm at Humphrey's by the Bay on Shelter Island on Tuesday, October 17. The San Diego Music Awards supports local musical talents and celebrates their success and accomplishments. To date, over $102,000 has been raised to assist elementary school music programs in San Diego. Some of the most talented musicians in , the nation have been San Diego's very own and many of them were recognized at Tuesday evening's event. Awards were given for musical categories such as hip-hop, jazz, country and reggae music.. One of many talented local performers featured at the event was Eve Selis who not only gave The Pride Arts & Entertainment There were live performances by Berkley Hart who took home awards for Best Local Recording Category and Best New Artist. P.O.D. was another popular performer, taking home awards for Song of the Year and Best Hard Rock Band. Other awards of the evening included Best Bar Band won by Pink Froyd, a Pink Floyd cover band. Group of the Year went to Blink-182, and Artist of the Year was awarded to Steve Poltz, an acoustical guitarist. Lifetime Achievement awards were given to two legends of San Diego; Mundell Lowe, a renowned jazz guitarist was recognized for his influence on local musicians. The other award went to Lou Curtiss the owner of a local music store called "Folk Arts Rare Records." Curtiss' store carries classic folk, roots and blues music from the 40V and 50's.

Some will call it a "chick flick," but Beautiful offers f un and lots of laughs when a young woman is forced to reevaluate her life's goal and, in the process, discovers what's really important and what it truly means to be beautiful. Written by Jon Bernstein (Ringmaster), Beautiful is a kindhearted story with a tearful, but predictable ending. However, you won't be disappointed. Pay It Forward is an Oscar Hopeful Actors Kevin Spacey (Mr. Simonet character) and Haley Joel Osment (Trevor McKinney character) give Oscar-worthy performances in Pay It Forward.

It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me want to go out and "pay it forward". Pay It Forward tells the story . of a boy named Trevor McKinney (played by Oscar-nominee Haley Joel Osment of Sixth Sense) and his attempt to change the world.

Best Rock Band of the Year. Trevor begins to "pay if forward" by helping a homeless man get back on his feet by feeding him and letting him sleep in the garage. Trevor's school project turns personal when he decides to help his teacher. Trevor decides he wants to help Mr. Simonet by encouraging him to become romantically involved with Arlene McKinney, Trevor's alcoholic mother (played by another Oscar-winner Helen Hunt of As Good as It Gets). Simonet, a burn victim with scars on his face and body, is hesitant to give his heart to Arlene. Arlene, however, opens her heart to Simonet, and Trevor encourages him to pursue the relationship. Meanwhile, a reporter (played by Jerry Maguire's Jay Mohr) is given a brand new Jaguar by an attorney that tells him about the "pay it forward" idea. Shocked by the incredible generosity of the attorney and curious about "pay it forward," the reporter tries to track the origin of the idea. The trail eventually leads back to Trevor who is continuing to work on his project to better the world. Director Mimi Leder's first two films, Deep Impact and The Peacemaker; have not been much to rave about, but three times is definitely a charm with her latest film, Pay It Forward. Osment, Spacey and Hunt give phenomenal performances and have great potential for Oscar nominations. This movie is bound to be one of the top five films of the year because it succeeds in doing what motion pictures are supposed to do—it teaches us about life and what really matters. If we look deep enough, this movie may even teach us something about ourselves. Perhaps if we started "paying it forward" and helping each other the way these characters do, the world can become a better place.

Now that he's back in California, Garcia realizes how much he missed the local food, especially Japanese cuisine. "I don't like sushi, but I like the fried stuff—all the bad stuff," Garcia said. To offset the effects of tasty food, Mr. Garcia, along with his wife plan to start walking on Mangrum Track in the evenings—that is, as soon as they can work out the dinner schedule, For most spectators the Olympic games are over; however, the games have only begun for the 4,000 athletes from 125 countries competing in the Sydney Paralympic Games. The Paralympic competition in Sydney, Australia, began on October 18 and will run through October 29. As of October 20, the United States is in tenth place with a total of two medals, one silver and one bronze. The Paralympics consist of 18 sports on the competition program, 14 of which are also on the Olympic sports program. According to the official Olympic web site, the other four sports are "unique to - the Paralympic Games [and they are] boccia, goalball, powerlifting and wheelchair rugby." This is the first time wheelchair rugby will be offered as a medal event. The mission of the Paralympics is "to inspire the world by staging a Paralympic Games that sets new standards in excellence, enabling the athletes to achieve their best," according to the Sydney Olympic web site. Within the first two days of the games, the athletes proved their athletic excellence by smashing Paralympic and world records. On the first day of competition, four records were broken in the preliminaries for swimming. The Paralympic News Service reported. USA's Erin Popovich broke the world record in the women's 200-meter individual medley. In the men's 100-meter Tuesday, October 24,2000 5 breaststroke, Pike Stewart set the Paralympic record with a time of 1:12.33. Immediately following Stewart's record-breaking performance was Alwin Houtsma who beat Stewart's record with a time of 1:07.82. Since the Paralympics were created to coincide with the Olympic games, the term Paralympic was developed to signify 'parallel games.' The creator of the Paralympics, Sir Ludwig Guttman, was deemed the 'father' of sport for people with disabilities. According to the Olympic web site, "While working with ex-servicemen at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital after WWII, Guttman recognized the need for competition and staged the 1948 International Wheelchair Games to coincide with the 1948 London Olympic Games." Other sports and disability categories were added, and in 1960 the first Paralympic Games was held in Rome. According to the site, the games have been held every four years "in tandem" with the Olympic games. The 2000 Olympics had a total of eleven athletes that tested positive for drugs. Five athletes were stripped of their medals. At least six Paralympic athletes have also tested positive to performance enhancing drugs, according to an October 20 report from Reuters News Service. Robert Steadward, President of the International Paralympics Committee admits "some of the tests came back positive [but] it was good that the IPC had identified the drug-taking athletes before they had competed" as reported in Reuters. There had been no positive tests at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games. This is t he first year that the Paralympics are having random out-ofcompetition drug testing in addition to the regular competition testing. All of the 4,000 athletes are subject to random testing.

Opening the doors to a fun and secure environment, students and others in attendance listened to Cathy Nguyen from the Women's Center, as well as an informed doctor and nurse practitioner about the safest and most effective ways to self-exam for breast or testicular cancerous growths.

With registration deadlines for the spring semester approaching in November, some CSUSM students may find pickaprof.com a valuable asset in obtaining any information, regarding specific professors or courses that might be of interest. When asked about using the website, senior Brittany Smith says, "It's good in a way because students find out about horrible teachers who don't teach. But it's bad in a way because students choose easier teachers [and] then slip and slide through the system. It's not a level playing field, but when is it ever a level playing field?" Pickaprof.com also has a new service available on their website. Now, students who access the website can see what classes' friends and peers are taking by clicking on the title of a particu- lar course. Upon clicking on a particular course, pictures of the friends and peers enrolled will appear on the screen. Generally, the majority of courses offered at most universities are posted on the website.

Scheduled to take place during University Hour in Academic Hall, Room 111, the discussion is open to all students and a free lunch will be available to those who attend. The purpose for the domestic violence forum is to heighten alertness about the impact violence cañ have in everyone's lives, not just in women's lives. Morgan Hoodenpyle, Programming and Events Coordinator for ASI's Women Center and coordinator of the forum says, "People don't realize how hard it can be for [victims]—who are in a situation of domestic violence—to speak out. There are so many factors that can tie a person down into a violent situation, like financial restrictions, children, and prior history. Abusers can also isolate a victim, by gaining control of the victim's life and cut them off from other people." The intention of the discussion is to inform people about the psychological, emotional, and financial barriers that can handicap the victims of domestic violence. Another important point to keep in mind too, is that domestic violence doesn't always translate into physical abuse that results in bruises, cuts, or other visible ramifications. Stalking, harassment, emotional abuse, From TELEVISION, page 1 it is a wonderful way to kill time."

Professors who teach classes from 9:00 to 10:15 a.m. and from 10:30 to 11:45 were asked by administrative personnel and UABC correspondents if they had available seats and would be willing to have visiting students in their classroom. An estimated 34 professors responded to the request, From CANCER, page 1 will die from it. In a man's lifetime, the odds of getting testicular cancer are about 1/300, and the survival rate after treatment is currently at 96%, states the ACS. According to the National Cancer Association, men are not only at risk for testicular cancer, but as most people aren't aware, men can also be at risk for breast cancer. Women, however, are largely at a much higher risk for breast cancer; 211,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer last year, and over 43,000 women died from breast cancer last year as well. Comparatively, roughly 1,600 men were diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. in 2005, and 400 of those diagnosed lost their lives to it. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer found in women and currently makes up 1/3 of the cancers diagnosed in U.S. women. In contrast, whereas testicular cancer is more common in younger men, giving UABC students a wide variety of classes to choose from. Nearly 15 CSUSM students have already signed up to join the UABC students throughout the day's events that include classes, lunch, and community service. There are currently five more spaces open for CSUSM students to volunteer to work alongside the UABC students. Along with participating students, President Haynes, Dr. Peter Zwick (Director of University Global Affairs), and Dr. Vivienne Bennett (Interim Director of the Center for Border and Regional Affairs) will welcome UABC students as they join for lunch in front of Kellogg Library during University Hour. After lunch, UABC students and the risk for breast cancer in women increases with age. The NCA declares that one in eight women will be affected by breast cancer in their lifetime. On the NCA website* ages and corresponding percentages of breast cancer incidence within the subsequent ten years of a woman's life are listed. For example, a woman who is 20 years old has a 1/1,985 chance; a 30-year-old woman has a 1/229 chance; a 40-year-old woman has a 1/68 chance; a 50-year-old woman has a 1/37 chance; a 60 year old woman has a 1/26 chance; and a 70-year-old woman has a 1/24 chance. Hoodenpyle later added, "For both breast and testicular cancer selfexaminations, there are easy steps and easy things everyone can do to help protect themselves, empower themselves and empower others by making information and knowledge available."

"Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime," is the statistic printed on the flyer for .the domestic violence discussion. "It's a global statistic," Hoodenpyle explains, "and when you think about it, what does that say about our own cultural and global perspective of women? What does it mean? How do we -address it? Where do we start to get national efforts to combat violence? Those are all things we hope to address."

According to Darci Strother, the Director of the Office of Community Service Learning, "Both the UABC and CSUSM share a commitment to community service as part of our institutions' missions." Through the kind efforts offered by UABC and CSUSM students, our university will fulfill that goal, as well as UABC, as every UABC student in Tijuana must fulfill a community service requirement in order to graduate. This will be a wonderful opportunity for students to work together for the wellbeing of others. From CENTER, page 1 the Multicultural Center. "The new space will be significantly larger than the current space in Craven Hall 4110," Montevirgen adds. Yesterday during University Hour, LGBTA presented the "What is an Ally?" workshop which aimed to inform students of what an "ally" is and what an "ally" is not. Franklin says that the event "define [d] what an ally is and what an ally is not. Other than learning what an ally is, [students are] challenged to follow through with this knowledge and lend support [and] assist minimal power-powerless individuals, groups or organizations." "Joining the LGBTA is easy," Franklin says. "Coming to a meeting or joining our list are the first steps. How involved with LGBTA [one wants to get] is totally dependent on that individual."

However, in sifting through the m&ss of information on CSUSM's website, prospective graduate students will be able to successfully navigate this demanding course of education. This upper echelon of education is only available to those who have completed a four-year education and received an appropriate Bachelor's Degree. Prospective students must also have a grade point average of at least 2.5 and be in good academic standing with the last university they attended. Some programs require GRE scores. The GRE could be considered the SAT for graduating college students, if you will. The requirements are in the student's best interest, ensuring that they are prepared for the rigors of a graduate program. Students who are admitted to CSUSM's graduate program would be placed in one of four different graduate student classifications. Graduate Classified students are those who have met all requirements. A student who has not met all requirements may still be admitted as a Graduate Conditionally Accepted. Those seeking to enroll in a credential or certificate program would be admitted as a Post-baccalaureate Classified student. Individuals who wish to take classes few professional or personal growth would be classified as Post-baccalaureate Unclassified, and these students would be last priority in regards advanced positions in business, industry, and the public sector" to class enrollment.

This study will evaluate an investigational formulation of insulin taken by inhalation at mealtime to see if it can provide blood sugar control comparable to rapid-acting insulin injection (both in combination with long-acting insulin) in people with type 1 diabetes. Using rapid-acting insulin in your regimen helps more closely mimic the metabolism of people without diabetes and may reduce the risk of a dangerous hypoglycemic episode. If you qualify for this two-year research study, you will receive all study-related diabetes care and study medication at no cost, and may be compensated for time and travel. You will also get a glucose monitor and all diabetes supplies, including prefilled and disposable FlexPens® at no cost for the duration of the study.

Carly Ludwig was the top Cougar finisher, taking 86th. Coming off a win in its first competition ofthe fall, Tuesday's finish was a bit of a letdown for the team. On the difficult par72 6,259-yard course at Chula Vista Golf Club, no Cougar was able to break 80 during the two rounds of competition. Men's Soccer Posts Convincing 6-0 Win Over La Sierra; Defense Back on Track Mike Nuovo's two goals propelled the Cougar men's soccer team (11-3) to a convincing 6-0 win at La Sierra University on Wednesday. Earlier this month, CSUSM defeated La Sierra by a score of 4-0. Almost as important than the win itself was the fact that the squad's defense regained its form. In its first eleven games, the Cougars limited opponents to just seven goals. But in a weekend road trip against U.C. Santa Cruz and Menlo, the defense faltered, allowing seven goals in just the two games. Wednesday's match was the first since those games, and the defense bounced back better than ever, as did keeper Trent Painter. The offense was awfully good too, with forwards Curtis Marcikic and Mike Nuovo playing dynamic games. The Cougars controlled every phase of the match, out-shooting La Sierra Carly Ludwig led the squad in both rounds, shooting 83 on Monday followed by an 81 on Tuesday. Jennell French followed up a first-round 88 with an 82, good for second on the Cougars and 105th overall. Behind her were Danielle Pearce (8487), Adriana Bowman (85-86), and EllyseSiu (91-86). 4 The University of Denver, whose squad posted an impressive two-day team score of 582, won the event. BYU finished seven shots back for second, and U.C. Irvine took third with a score of 596. CSUSM's final score was 675. Women's Soccer able to hold onto lead, defeating La Sierra 3-2 rim. Crouse was able to tuck his shot into the bottom corner of the net. At the 43-minute mark, CSUSM would push its lead to 5-0. Miguel Jacobo hit a cross that found Brandon Zuniga, who made a nifty redirection towards the goal. The keeper would make the save, but Daniel Vasquez was there to clean up the rebound. The scoring was capped off in the 70th minute when Bradley Seidenglanz collected a loose ball, made a run through the defense, and beat the keeper. The 7-0 final score matches the squad's biggest margin of victory, which came in the September 7th win over San Diego Christian College. Next up for the Cougars is a home game against Chapman University on Friday, October 20. All fans are welcome to head down to Mangrum Field to cheer on their Cougars in the last home match of their inaugural season! Kickoff is at 4:00 p.m., with the women's team playing at 2:00 p.m. by a staggering total of 29-3, and earning ten corner kicks to their opponent's zero. The Cougar scoring came early and often. Off the opening kickoff, Curtis Marcikic split the defense for a one-on-one with the keeper, but was unable to convert. At the one-minute mark, Miguel Jacobo penetrated the defense, and struck a cross in front of the goal. A La Sierra defender tried to head it aside, but redirected it into his net for an own goal. But the Cougars wouldn't need that kind of luck on Wednesday. In the 11th minute, Curtis Marcikic slid a pass to Mike Nuovo behind the defense, and Nuovo was able to slip it under the keeper. Just two minutes later, the same duo teamed up for another goal, with Marcikic once again finding Nuovo behind the defense. Three minutes after that, the Cougars earned a free kick in La Sierra territory. Chris Wyatt surprised his opponents by taking the kick quickly, and finding defender Ben Crouse making a Photo By Jason Encabo / Pride File Photo Women's Soccer Able to Hold Onto Lead, Defeats La Sierra 32 Reversing what has become a painful trend over the last month, the CSUSM women's soccer team (4-8-1) was able to successfully close out L a Sierra on Wednesday, edging out a 32 victory. The win snaps a twogame losing streak. It was the Cougars' second victory over La Sierra this season, both of which have come by 3-2 scores. On the season, CSUSM has struggled in one-goal games, losing five of six of such matches before Wednesday. But the team has persevered, and is finally being rewarded for its hard work and effort. At La Sierra, the Cougars came out on fire, getting on the scoreboard in the second minute. Miquella Martinez, who played a terrific game overall, crossed a ball to Randi Leyva. Leyva was able to strike the ball out of mid-air, knocking it into the lower-right corner. With a 1-0 lead, the squad went into a bit of a lull, and La Sierra capitalized. They equalized the score in the 22nd minute when Shelley Bun hit a corner kick to Starlena Murray, and Murray was able to finish. The 1-1 score would hold up through halftime. After halftime, the Cougars would regain the spirit they had early in the game. In the 64th 'minute, Miquella Martinez once again set up a teammate, this time Kelly Wherry. Martinez played a ball across the top of the box, Wherry controlled it, and drove it into the upper right corner of the net. Seven minutes later, the Cougars pushed the lead to 3-1. Clarissa Hidalgo made one of her trademark rims through the defense, and was able to beat the keeper with a strong finish. Though the squad was able to hold on for the win, it would not come as easily as Coach Ron Pulvers would have liked. With one minute left, Shelley Bun brought La Sierra back within one, and the possibility of another lategame disappointment was suddenly evident. However, CSUSM was able to hang on, winning the game 3-2 for their fourth win of the season. In what was an all-around strong effort, both the back and front lines had strong games. The Cougars will try to keep the momentum going when they face off against Chapman University on Friday. The game will be played at Mangrum Field at 2:00 p.m., so come on out and support your Cougars! Photo By David Gatley I Pride File Photo Men's Cross Country takes 2nd, women place 4th at Fullerton; Mejia breezes to another win Men's Cross Country Takes 2nd, Women 4th at Fullerton; Mejia Breezes to Another Win At the Fullerton Invite on Friday, the CSUSM men's and women's cross-country teams looked sharp, finishing 2nd and 4th, respectively. Cougar Juan Mejia won the men's event easily, while Bonghabih Shey led the women's squad with a 9th place finish. The event marks Mejia's second consecutive win. Last week at Vanguard, he crossed the tape 48 seconds before the any other runner in thefield.This time around, Mejia had 33 seconds to catch his breath before the second place finisher arrived. Mejia's 25:49 is in line with his times at other events this year, and his potential at regionals and nationals is off-the-charts. Mejia wasn't the only Cougar who looked great in the team's final tune-up before Nationals. With the squad's usual #2 runner Phil Hoffman, finishing 31st, sophomore Mike Crouch picked up the slack in a big way. His time of 26:25 was good for fourth-place, and a mere 3 seconds behind second. Crouch was one of eleven runners whofinishedwithin 33 seconds of second-place - making Mejia's margin of victory all the more impressive. On the women's side, Bonghabih Shey continued her string of strong finishes, taking 9th place with a time of 18:39. It was the second time that Shey, already an accomplished track athlete, led the cross-country team this fall. Whitney Patton, who has led the squad in the events Shey hasn't, took 18th. Olympia Olguin backed up a strong 19th-place finish at Vanguard by taking 27th on Friday. She's been a pleasant surprise this year for Coach Steve Scott, and has improved tremendously since last year. Overall, the Cougar women finished with a time of 1:35:05, good for fourth place. Cal Coast TC won the women's 5k event by running 1;30:45, and UC Santa Barbara finished second. Santa Barbara won the men's 8k event with a total time of 2:13:36, 36 seconds better than the secondplace Cougars.

MLB has put all of their advertising money for the playoffs into the lap of an 80-year-old white guy. The only people who, know Lasorda are die-hard baseball fans, and MLB already has that person coming to the ballpark. If MLB wants to regain any popularity that it once had, it needs to use its money on someone that can appeal to the casual fan, the fan that is younger than 80 years old. The NBA is misguided as well, but at least they're trying. If you haven't noticed, the NBA is a game that is dominated by African-Americans, with a few good white guys thrown into the mix. It is no secret that Hip-Hop (not the music, but the lifestyle) is synonymous with the NBA. So, my question concerns why David Stern, the NBA commissioner, is trying to change the sport. Look at what Stern is doing with all of these rule changes. Last season he instituted a dress code. He said that dress clothes had to be worn immediately before and after games. As soon as an NBA player enters an arena, he has to suit up. Before this rule, players showed up at press conferences wearing the types of clothing brands that NBA fans wear; "Rocawear," "Ecko," "Sean John,'' etc. Basically, types of clothing that is associated with "minority" groups and the younger generation. Stern has always tried to attract an older white audience, but what he doesn't seem to understand is that they aren't ever going to be interested in the NBA. The only thing that he is doing is diminishing the largest consumer audience around. MLB and the NBA also need to take a page from the NFL on hoiw to handle disciplinary issues. Look at what is taking over the headlines right now in both sports. MLB has all these steroid problemsfloatingaround. Someone actually has to get caught with a needle in their arm to actually be found guilty, and they have to be caught like 30 times before they are kicked out of the sport. In the NBA, Steven Jackson and his off-court crusade with a gun outside of a strip club is only one of the many incidents from an NBA player of late. I am assuming the disciplinary action taken by the NBA will be minuscule, if at all, against Jackson. In the NFL, if you screw up you are banished to Canada, like Ricky Williams. I guess what I am basically saying is that I should be commissioner of the NBA and MLB.

Recently, the U.S. Senate rejected a proposal to raise the minimum wage that would have%ffeSted 11% of the workforce or about 14.9 million Americans. Many states, including California, are raising the minimum wage through state legislatures, but the same old story is been played out again in other areas. States like Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana do not even have state minimum wage laws, leaving the already impoverished Southern states even further behind the curve. While this may have a small impact as us as Californians, it is important to America as a nation to promote a strong workforce. It becomes difficult for workers to insist on their own rights and fair wages when people in other parts of the country are not afforded those same rights. The emerging global markets require a level of high education to stay on top of the game. The only way to achieve this on a large scale in America is to ensure that all people at least have a basic level of comfort. Many people entering the middle class fear that a raise in the minimum wage will affect their wages negatively, but essential workers will always be compensated for the expertise that they bring to the job. Many cities and even suburbs in America are experiencing high levels of crime due to poverty?the only way for poverty to be alleviated is through the rise the wages of the workers that are at the lowest end of the spectrum, minimum wage laborers. It is hard to imagine conditions worsening, but the Senate, in its vote against a minimum wage increase, has ensured that conditions will worsen for those that depend on compensation from our nations largest corporations. -MicahBearce m ake i nformed, h eal c onfident choices 760.744.I SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $ 11 0 0 - $ 18.00 p er h our C u s t o m e r S e r v i c e : $ 9.00 C all ( 760)744-SWlM 277 S.

I think that if Hollywood is going to interpret a historical period of time, and a loathed French queen at that, they could have spiced things up a little bit. Isn't that what the money from our tickets goes to anyways? ^ Painfiilly clocking in at 118 minutes, the action r and plot of the story didn't even kick in until the final 40 minutes. On a side note, all who are familiar with the actual history and the details of Louis XVI and Marie will find this movie rather forced in terms of its timeline of events; and for those going in cold (unaware of the historical facts), don't take this movie as a depiction" of what really happened. The film basically locks Marie and the audience up in Versailles, trailing Antoinette around the palace, documenting her frivolity and life as a spoiled, royal socialite, Hinting at affairs, rumors, scandals, stagnant sexuality, and bizarre extravagance, Coppola barely scratches the surface in her portrayal of the publicly-hated Dauphine. With no inner transformation or conflict in Antoinette's character that the audience is able to relate to —other than Louis XVIs disinterest in consummating his marriage— the film's blandness outweighs its beautiful production. I kept waiting for something to happen and A| nothing did: no evil villain swept in to steal .«¿AgS the show, there was no beheading, and no J M windows were broken as a result of the Jjj French Revolution that was happening É | just outside the palace door. All in all, ^ H ^ B H R B the film just felt unfinished. a^Hffi^H Other historical biopics that I have J Ê seen, like "Amadeus," "Malcom É • X," "Ray," and "Kinsey," are MHBBI better examples of films that portray the characters from a HB perspective that audiences J9 can identify with. "Marie É Ê B ^ ^ Ê K Ê Antoinette" just doesn't hit JH home for me. I felt misled as a consumer, and when 9 É f l B | | all was said and done, I ^ ^ H f l i just wanted my two hours j P B M f f and ten bucks back. I would have much rather watched Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) rock out to some Vivaldi instead of The Cure and Bow Wow Wow. Don't get me wrong. I love The Cure, just not as a musical backdrop for the French queen gallivanting about Versailles in the late 1700s. Directed by Sofia Coppola, "Marie Antoinette," is a beautiful and airy inspection of the life of the young Austrian, Marie Antoinette, who is betrothed to Louis XVI in order to bolster relations between Austria and France. The film highlights the shortcomings that Marie Antoinette experiences as she struggles to become accustomed to the traditions and routines of her newly acquired position. I'll start by saying that this movie was nothing like I expected it to be. Going into it I anticipated this film to be something like the 1996 remake of William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. The overlay of modern music and conjk temporary attitudes towards sex, drugs, and rock 'n I roll distracted me at too many points throughout the I film. Detracting from the façade of elegant deserts |F and ornate dresses, the humane Marie Antoinette that the movie tried so hard to portray was almost lost in Coppola's zealous ambition. Aside from the beautiit ful period detail in costumes, hairstyles and decor, there isn't really any substance to this film; in % fact, as an audience member it's hard to stay k 1 afloat in the over-processed images of an 18th f century France. Moreover, Jason Schwartzman who plays Louis XVI, I feel, is greatly miscast. Even though his character in the movie is rather aloof, as an actor he lacks the energy and ability to bring Louis XVI to life. Not that there was particularly any chemistry between Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI in any i f l H p n | k history books, but a little more chemisV^Br try on screen—I mean it is Hollywood |W we're talking about—would have kept *¥ the audience awake long enough to watch the end ^ W j V credits.

XIV NO. 9 Hurt Again Women in abusive relationships BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer When choosing a partner, why do some of us behave like outright masochists, seeking pleasure in pain? How else could we describe people who stay in relationships filled with physical/verbal abuse, unyielding selfishness, or plain, old-fashioned oppression? Often dismissed with pity, disdain, or indifference, it's important to note that, of those who 'get out', many inevitably wind up back in similar situations without fully understanding why. In asking around, the Pride discovered some interesting similarities between people on the short end of such arrangements. The women interviewed seemed to understand logically that their relationships were not satisfying, but that something emotional, or otherwise hard to place, kept them from making better choices. Sonia Ruiz, an assistant professor at CSUSM's psychology department, shared some interesting insights; "The most important thing to remember is not to 'blame the victim' and to look outside the box at all the factors involved." Pride asked Dr. Maureen Fitzpatrick, another of our assistant psychology professors, what some of the sociological or psychological factors might be. What would cause a woman to create and even mainSee HURT AGAIN, page 3 Photo by Erin Young / The Pride The Lost Boys of Sudan, Thursday, Oct. 20.

"Pornography is the antithesis of eroticism" showing women in suppressive roles with violence directed toward them, mentioned Harlot. Such representations put her line of work in harm's way. In the 27 years in the profession, Harlot has worked for massage parlors, call-girl companies, within social circles and independently serviced private clientele. She has been a victim of rape and believes that through legalizing the prostitution business laws and regulations can provide security to the workers preventing violence from manifesting. "Sex work is a noble and risktaking profession" said Harlot. Her mission has been to be an advocate for sex workers and their allies pushing to decriminalize prostitution and make it a shameless profession.

"I've not had enough exposure (to von Son) to know if he is a good teacher," said Yanez. Yanez also stated that he is unaware of the administration holding the Spanish language in higher importance than the 'Mexican language'. Also, he was hot aware of which staff and faculty were subpoenaed. Yanez is also unaware if the administration is trying to discipline von Son, as stated in the article. As for the two teachers that von Son is currently seeking legal action against, they are both female, as opposed to the statement in the article of one male and one female. According t o a ' North County T imes' a rticle f rom Oct. 12, von Son is pursing legal action against California State University San Marcos Board of Trustees, for his denial of tenure and claiming harassment against two faculty members, Sylvia Rolle and Jill Pellettieri. As for von Son's tenure, Yanez stated that he is not in the position to make a decision one way or the other. "His behavior should be looked at (for tenure)," said Yanez. He went on to say, "If you're going to support him, know this is going on. "I interacted with him on a personal level," said Yanez. Yanez has a working history with von Son which includes the upcoming movie "Ofrenda Desnuda". Yanez explained that his motives for coming forward were to inform students, staff and faculty of his experience with von Son. "Get informed, make an informed decision," Yanez said. As for the affects of the open forum, Yanez explained that he has had a lot of students go to him to express gratitude for coming forward. Yanez believes it is easier for men to come forward with information since it* can be embarrassing for women to talk about sexual harassment. An a rticle published in t he "North County Times', on Oct. 12 said, "charges in the lawsuit he (von Son) filed in December 2003 that two fellow professors sabotaged his chances to get tenure by submitting 'false and defamatory' material to the university's peer review committee on tenure." The article went on to say that "Superior Court Judge Michael Orfield has refused to dismiss the case" even though Cal State San Marcos has denied all claims made by von Son. �A Step Beyond Donating BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Blood Mobile blood drive on Oct. 18 and 19 was not as successful as expected according to the San Diego Blood Bank. Nonetheless, 38 pints (which calculates to four and three quarter gallons) of blood were donated during these two days, reported Lillian Gonzalez, Donor Recruitment Consultant. Aiso, according to Zelma Nixon, the licensed vocational nurse (LVN) on duty said they received six donors in the "Hospital patients depend on blood donations every three seconds ... it saves lives." Mary Walter-Brown first hour after the Blood Mobile arrived on the second day. A seventh donor finished filling out the medical questionnaire while Nixon was interviewed. The blood drive welcomed the public as well as students, but on Wednesday these first seven donors were students, and for the majority of them, it was their first time, said Nixon. Many students may wonder about what happens to their blood after it's donated. When asked about the trip blood donations take, Nixon explained, "There is a lab they (The San Diego Blood Bank) send it to for testing... It can take one week (for testing)." Nixon said all the blood donations are tested for safety before they are released for use in medical facilities. Gonzalez informed the Pride that blood donations can be broken down into plasma, palettes, and red blood cells while at the lab. Nixon also explained that the component selected influences how the donation is preserved, but that in its raw state blood donations are put in the refrigerator and can last for 42 days. If others wonder what happens if the blood donation is not used in 42 days, they might consider what Mary WalterBrown said in her Pride interview last week: "Hospital patients depend on blood donations every three seconds... it saves lives." Apparently it is unlikely that the donations collected at our school will not be used. Nixon assured students that The Blood Mobile visits CSUSM fairly regularly, and we can be certain that they will be back in the near future.

"From the research it appears women, move from one bad relationship to another for many different reasons. One is a lack of a good father (or father figure) when they are growing up. Another is coming from an abusive home—one in which the developing child either was abused or witnessed abuse. Some women have learned that abuse in a relationship is 'normal' and so they don't try to get out." Speaking further with students confirmed much of this, however, a number of them had their own personal reasons for staying in unhealthy relationships. For some it was simply a lack of self-esteem, making them feel as though they deserved the treatment they get because they are either not pretty, or smart enough to get anything better. Others even seemed to love the drama of a rocky relationship, that without it the relationship would be too boring. This may remind readers of something stand-up comedian Chris Rock once said, that if you're in a boring relationship. * .it's probably a good one. An episode of the popular show, "Sex and the City" also touches on this issue when, during the course of an apparently healthy relationship, the character Carrie is suddenly awakened with panic attacks. She comes to realize that they are an extreme reaction brought about by being so unaccustomed to a lack of drama. Recently^ a friend of this reporter who, after four years, finally built up the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship, found herself in a new and somewhat worse one. One night, while this new boyfriend was away at a USC game, he began sending abusive text messages because she had missed one of his calls. He began to accuse her of cheating on him, along with anything else he could say to make her feel guilty. She was obviously heart-broken and at a loss with what to do. Unfortunately this was not an isolated event, but had rather become a routine in their relationship. According to Oceanside's "Women's Resource Center" and Police Department, this boy was showing behavior characteristic of a batterer. I n only a few short months, this new boyfriend had demonstrated six of these seven signs. Needless to say, this friend was advised not to take it. This incident further stresses the yourpartnerinclude: whenever you ^ m feave h op» I s i ^ ^ G e t s very angry very quickly . * • ^ Criticizes or finds fault wt& you a lot - , , , ¡¡111 0 \ feelings .

In fact, according to "Woman Abuse Prevention", emotional abuse is responsible for long-term problems with physical health as well as for depression and anxiety. Those having trouble recognizing or ending unhealthy relationships are urged to seek support from family, or local women's resource centers. That said, concerned readers should be inspired to know that abuse cycles are neither normal, nor hopeless. Another personal acquaintance recently married a new partner after getting out of a "masochistic" relationship. Now she is happier than many of her friends have ever seen. When asked what made this partner so much better, she replied "For one, he can openly talk to me about his feelings, where the last guy wouldn't. Secondly, he's generous and cares about my feelings. And third, he's grounded, and that makes me feel secure." It's vital to understand that not all men are out to, or willing to abuse you. Another male friend stated, "I don't care how submissive the girl was, I would never treat her badly." There are wonderful guys like this out there everywhere, but it's about having the self-respect and support to find them. Ladies, if you don't want to be mistaken for a masochist, remember that when it's a power struggle, the last thing you want to do is hand all the power over. 3>: lie \ - 88? W.

Usually, upon mention of this place, most of us are flooded with visions of shady nightclubs packed with individuals who can't legally drink in the states, drunkenly flailing their bodies on small and sweaty dance floors. We think of dirty streets with speeding taxis and small children peddling tourist items on corners. We think of party spots like Tijuana and San Felipe as the core of what the country is about, and of course we remember not to drink the water there. And yet, there is much more to our southern neighbor than what is displayed in spring break brochures. Mexico is host to a fantastic array of land and water activities, wildlife preservations, and a cultural history. I recently traveled to three different Mexican locations and was given an even better taste of what the country truly has to offer. Mexico takes on an exotic feel in the daytime to perfectly accent the vitality of its nightlife. The activities offered both inland and on the beaches were of such a tropical nature that I almost mistook our surroundings for an island in the Bahamas. At Cabo San Lucas, visitors are invited to first tour the city jeep, and then explore the bay by glass bottom boat. These two means of transportation are sold in one reasonable package for individuals and groups. Guides also ensure that each traveler's Cabo experience is complete with the inclusion of on-shore shopping, dining, and historical sightseeing, as well as a glimpse at the ocean life surrounding the region. I was able to peruse village shops for authentic tanzanite and fire-blown glass, as well as snorkel off the coast at El Arco. A visit to Mazatlan provides a more vivid look into Mexico's working class. The city is largely industrial, with outlying tropical areas—a contrast to the atmosphere of Cabo San Lucas. I learned that Mazatlan came under historic settlement by the Spanish in 1531 who sought to export the gold and silver produced there at the Sierra Madre mines. Because of this, there are no ancient ruins to see at Mazatlan. The city's main attractions are its aquariums, Iglesia de San Sebastian, and the 40-foot high cliff, El Mirador, which hosts cliff diving shows twice daily when weather permits. Primarily, the tourist sites at Mazatlan are products that showcase the labor of its citizens. Lastly, the scenic atmosphere and cultural prevalence of Puerto Vallarta provides a semi-indus- CLASSIFIEDS « lÎ^ÏHÏNÔRS illllil^i^-:;' Fecaalss ages IllÄÄfe^Plw^r^ •! m c ouples s ome o f t he | | ; m any e ggs yottr b ody : d i s u s e s monthly. gPCQMPENSATION g f il l l ^ ^ p l Ä f H , ; | T ^aetò/tutor f or in-home j wMh a Photo by A ntoinette J ohnson / The Pride trial, semi-exotic blend of both Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan. The terrain there takes a dramatic shift from warm water beach surfaces to severe mountain regions, less than 10 miles inland. With the mountains surrounding this oasis, Puerto Vallarta exists in peaceful isolation. The lasting impressions of the city were made by its accessibility to shopping, dining, and lounging, as well as the friendliness of the citizens. Puerto Vallarta has a newer face than Mazatlan, but still contains the authenticity of a Mexican culture. Visitors are given the opportunity to watch and learn salsa dancing at the Malecon Main Square in down- town, tour Elizabeth Taylor's 9-bedroom 11-bathroom house at Casa Kimberley, and explore mountain wildlife on horseback. Banderas Bay also provides snorkeling, dolphin swimming, and parasailing. Given these descriptions, one might turn away in disbelief that all of these glorious sights are encompassed in the nation of Mexico, but it is true. There is a lasting culture that continues to thrive beyond the TJ's nightclubs, and I urge everyone to experience it. An escape to the real Mexico can broaden one's cultural horizon beyond that of only the states, or namely, Southern California.

I love football season, but having games two days a week just doesn't do it for me. Thankfully my favorite reality show begins in one week when the basketball season tips off. Just like every other basketball fan, I have some predictions on what is going to happen this year. Now let me start off slowly with some easy predictions. Sometime between now and Nov 3: An NBA player will be charged with possession of marijuana. He will then use a creative excuse when he claims he was just holding it for a friend. Sometime between Nov. 1 and Nov 7: The Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal triangle of hate will dominate the headlines again, when Shaq opens his yap and instigates reporters to beat this story to death once again. Nov. 2 (The Indiana Facers first game): Ron Artest will be ^ The CSUSM athletics program is continuing to grow with the addition of softball and baseball in the spring of 2007. According to Athletics Director, Dr. Stephen Nichols, there has already been an abundant amount of interest regarding the teams. "I'm receiving phone calls, emails, snail mail, even skills tapes from in and out-of-state regarding the teams. There seems to be lots of interest which is great," explained Dr. Nichols. The recently named coaches, Jennifer Milo for softball and Dennis Pugh for baseball, have informally begun recruiting. The ideal roster is about 20 ladies and 30-35 men. Dr. Nichols explained that after the recruiting cycle, it will be up to the coaches if an actual try-out will be held. The teams will be a part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Other schools that will be competitive within this association include Point Loma Nazarene, Biola, and Azusa Pacific. As the schedule is still being put together for the spring of 2007, CSUSM will aim to play other Division II and III schools including USD and UCSD. One of Dr. Nichols' goals is to raise money for scholarships, for the upcoming athletics teams. As of now," partial scholarships are offered to some athletes. A greater scholarship may be awarded at the coach's discretion and based on the total endowment for the team. A further addition to CSUSM's athletics program will be taking place next fall, with men's and women's soccer teams. The name of the chosen coach has been withheld at this time, due to their current contract elsewhere. The soccer teams will also begin recruiting, hoping to gain a roster of 18-20 athletes per team. Dr. Nichols has high hopes for the future of the athletics program. His vision is to see the addition of women's volleyball, swimming, diving, water polo, and tennis, all in due time. As for now, he explains, "There is no shortage in work in preparing for the new coaches and teams, but it really is fun." if I X Ü THE p r i d e Jock talk with Josh BY HEATHER M. ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer hat VylV suspended for the rest of the year when he gets in a fight with a water boy who looked at him the wrong way. Nov. 2: Kobe Bryant returns to the Denver area to play the Nuggets...well lets just leave that one alone. Nov. 18: The Atlanta Hawks defeat the New Orleans Hornets, to win their first game, putting their record at 1-8. Dec. 25: Before the Lakers versus Heat game on Christmas day, Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal will celebrate Christmas together. Phil will only bring one present to the gathering. Shaq and Kobe will then lash out at one another in the newspapers over who deserves the gift more. Jan. 7: The Atlanta Hawks win their second game of the season, putting their record at 2-29. Jan 12: The Pistons return to the scene where they lost last season's NBA finals in San Antonio. The Pistons lose this game, but the Spurs lose Tim Duncan when he attempts to block a Ben Wallace dunk and is lost in Ben's enormous fro. February 6: 6-0, 165 pound Allen Iverson dunks on 7-6, 310 pound Yao Ming. Realizing he is an embarrassment to the center position, Yao tries his luck at another sport and becomes the world's tallest jockey. üüühí March 2-5: In the four day span, the Bulls and Cavaliers play twice and ESPN will compare LeBron James to Michael Jordan 985,041 times. April 9: The Clippers sweep the season series against the Lakers, causing the city of Los Angeles to think the Apocalypse is upon us. April 19: The Atlanta Hawks lose the final game of the regular season to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They end the season at 2-80 causing NBA commissioner David Stern to banish them to the WNBA. Okay, now that the easy predictions are done with, here are the tough ones. I believe the Miami Heat will win the Eastern Conference title. Shaq and Dwyane Wade is the most lethal combo in the NBA. Not to mention the Heat went out and acquired Gary Payton, Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, and James Posey. They also had a very good draft acquiring Wayne Simien and Matt Walsh. Some people claim that too many superstars will cause disharmony. I disagree because I believe all of these guys know that they NEED to dish the ball to Shaq or Wade. In the Western Conference, I like the San Antonio Spurs, because they are*the definition of what a team should be. Their entire team is back and they have acquired Michael Finley and Nick Van Exel. The Spurs also had an excellent draft acquiring Jawad Williams and Stephen Graham. Now for the awards. For the MVP I see Jason Kidd making a run at it this year, if he can stay healthy. He now has running mates for a full season in Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson. I also see LeBron making a run at the award, if he can get the Cavaliers into the playoffs. For rookie of the year I see Hakim Warrick of the Grizzlies flourishing in his first year. He has the abilities and stature that usually produce great rookie years. The most improved team this season will be the Los Angeles Lakers, because of two words: Phil Jackson. The team with the biggest drop off this season will be the Phoenix Suns because Amare Stoudemire will be out four months to start the season. Not to mention it would have been hard to win 62-games even if Amare was healthy. Alright, just to make sure I get one prediction correct; I predict that more predictions from the first half than the second half of this article will come true.

Decency seems to be making a comeback. On the ballot this Nov. 8 will be a piece of legislation that could possibly be an indication of a regression back to the days when morality and common law were synonymous. I have always felt abortion is perhaps one of the most heinous acts of violence and ungodliness one could perpetrate, and I am vehemently opposed to its prevalence among American society, but I would vote any day of the week for a woman's right to choose (as long as the abortion is with in thefirsttrimester. Partial birth abortion is something altogether different, biologically speaking). I believe that a minor—an individual under the age of 18, and considered by the legal system to still be under the care and supervision of their parent or legal guardian—-is neither sufficiently responsible nor mentally prepared for the very serious decisions involved with issues of adulthood (I would even venture to say that most under the age of 25 are of the same character). That a 14year-old girl could have an abortion without the consent or notification of her parents prior-to—when the removal a of bunion from the toe of that same child requires written parent approval—seems unimaginable, but hey, this is California, a state in which a Superior Court Judge ruled that the mention of God in the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. Parents are wholly responsible for the welfare of the child, as long as that child is under the age of 18, but it seems that society, or at least that of California, has decided that matters that could affect the life of that child are matters of 'privacy and personal choice'. Children have neither the faculties nor the privilege of making such choices without the participation of their guardians. While a parent can't prevent their child from engaging in promiscuity (any more than the sound teachings of church and family can), matters that involve medical attention and surgi- cal operations do require, in all other circumstances, the consent and notification of the parents. Why then is something as life-altering as abortion so different? The abortion may not, at first glance, significantly change the life of the young girl, but it most certainly affects the life of the unborn child within her. The answer is simple. We as a society have decided to preach to our children, not a message of morality and personal responsibility, but instead the venom of promiscuity and self-gratification. Now, if one has sex and—oops!—get's pregnant, instead of taking care of the child, the result of one's choices already made, we can simply "undo" the mistake! A redo, if you will. Suddenly, childbearing has become something of a game in which abortion is the quick fix to a night of passion absent of reason. Being an individual that came quite close to being aborted (thanks to my grandmother, Voila! The miracle of birth occurred after all), I think it's important to stress that abortion isn't a solution for a mistake, but a medical operation that should be used only in the case of a medical emergency; when the life of the mother is in danger. But a teenager doesn't understand this. It's not theirs to understand. They're not supposed to be dealing with such weighty issues. These are items of adult proportions, which require the faculties found exclusively among reasonable adults— the parents of these troubled youths. In California, however, a parent's consent is not needed for a minor, even a 13 year-old to have an abortion. Still, at the least, the parent should be notified, should be privy to such information before the abortion. Some may say that such required notification is still an invasion of privacy, but minors don't have such rights, and such has been demonstrated in cases involving eavesdropping and the like, which are more obvious occurrences of an 'invasion of privacy'. In order to be under the care and supervision of one's parents, there simply cannot be such blockades to understanding. If parents are expected to morally and emotionally support their daughter in such a time of distress, they should be given fair notice of such a course of action. The reasons for this exception to common medical prac- tices are quite clear; thefirstis that we want, as a society, to promote the sexually liberal ideals of our licentious youth, and second, we are always attempting to treat children as adults. The availability of "morning-after" pills is the proliferating message o f cleaning-up, rather than dealing with, the "mistakes" of one's behavior. Many argue that 'we shouldn't punish a young woman for mistakes she's made; making her deal for life* with an ill-thought out decision of her youth', but, and excuse me, the conception and development of a fertilized egg into a human being is not a 'mistake', it is nature and Please, help bring back some reason to this state of radical leftists that strip away, year-by-year, more and more of the vital fabric that keeps families intact. Return to the parents their right to know; honor their rights as the caretakers and fountains of emotional support of their children, return back to the parents what has always been theirs, the right to know about the medical condition and welfare of their children.

BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer "Good Night, and Good Luck" has every quality a film should have that would make you remember and applaud it. It chronicles the initial steps of Senator Joseph McCarthy's downfall, beginning with numerous reports from "See It Now," anchor Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn). Despite cynical criticism and abandonment by sponsors, Murrow and his producer Fred Friendly (George Clooney) push forward to expose a corrupt, lying government. That's a simple enough plot to last ninety three minutes. However, "Good Night, and Good Luck" makes you forget the length and focus on the more intriguing aspects, such as the performances, the cast, and the authenticity. The performance of Strathairn is the most memorable. He is not just portraying a real person, but resurrecting Murrow to a new light and a new generation. It would be a shame if Strathairn received anything less than an Oscar nomination. Even though Clooney also gives a fine performance, I'd rather remember him as the director of this film rather than an actor. Once known as an actor who only accepts leading roles, in "Good Night, and Good Luck" Clooney gives his film and his cast the opportunity to shine instead of him. He creates the film in standard black and white to give a real feel for the time period. He even uses archive Photos courtesy of Warner Independent footage of McCarthy himself, instead of an actor. The set design of the offices and the newsrooms answer the question, "What's it like to work at CBS back then?" The supporting cast is not one of big stardom but of skill.

"Good Night, and Good Luck" joins H elp M ake D reams C ome T rue a mi E arn $ S 9 000 a nd U p "Pulp Fiction," "The Usual Suspects," "Heat", and many more on my list of films with the best supporting cast. It seems obvious that the film is giving one lesson and one message. The lesson is that what we went through in the past is likely to occur again. The film urges us to learn from our past to predict the future. The message is that there is a connection with the McCarthy years to our current leadership. Murrow's report quotes William Shakespeare, "The fault, dear Brutus, lies not within our stars but within ourselves." Study Abroad Fair!

The film, which followed a group of young idealists at the influential Black Bear Ranch, in Siskiyou County, where they aimed to reshape the world with free love, common property, and the excited controversy of fear amongst local residents. Premised on the idea of Free Land for Free People, and financed Hollywood rock stars, the founders of Black Bear bought land deep in the wilderness and raised a rough-hewn homestead. Over the years, hun- "Extraordinary Machine" dreds would join the community, and life would be complicated by conflicts about the role of women, child rearing, proper behavior, and most traumatically, a childsnatching cult. The film gave us a revealing look at how our most basic choices about family, work, and the nature of our relationships send powerful and lasting shock waves through the fabric of society. According to Berman, "The theme of the film, in my opinion, is 'go for it, go for your dreams, but be sure to not get too carried away by them.' You see this in the film with the Commune on the one hand, who is going for it, and the cult who challenge their existence." The cast includes Peter Coyote, Michael Tierraandinternationally renowned painter Elsa Marley. Jonathan Berman's previous films, "The Shvitz" and "My Friend Paul" have aired on Sundance Channel, PBS, Discovery, ARTE, Trio and other networks that have screened theatrically and at numerous festivals around the world. Critics have praised Berman's "searing celluloid portraits" as "crackling with energy" full of "swagger and style," and "gritty and funny." BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer The sneaky, sinister sounds of Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine spark new energy in even the dreariest of listeners. I figured Apple's new CD would be similar to all the other angry chick music I've heard. In retrospect, I find the content of Extraordinary Machine much more empowering than depressing. Apple's tone adds a sense of refreshing fierceness to every track. Listening gives me the image of a boy smirking as he is admonished by a teacher with lettuce in his teeth.

The petition drive, along with the launch of a student-run antiKoala Facebook page, are in response to the publication of the Koala's fifth CSUSM issue on Sept. 27, which promoted on its front page "homophobia, misogyny (and) pornography." One page led with the line "Women secretly want to be raped," and another featured a pornographic photo with the picture of a Women's Studies student superimposed on a woman in the picture. The petition seeks 1,000 signatures to lobby university officials to control the hate speech in the Koala, restrict its on-campus distribution and eliminate the atmosphere of intimidation and harassment associated with its content and distribution. Kit-Bacon Gressitt, a CSUSM Women's Studies student and freelance reporter, wrote the petition, called "Act Against Hate at Cal State University San Marcos," hosted by change.org. The opening statement of the petition claims that "the lack of action by lishes at San Diego State University and UC San Diego—but the Dean of Students Office did launch a campus Civility Campaign in September. And on Oct. 20, President Karen Haynes issued a statement encouraging students to speak out on Spirit Day against bullying and student marginalization. . "We recognize that there may be instances that while protected by the First Amendment, are contrary to CSUSM's core values of diversity and inclusion," Haynes wrote in her blog on the university website.

Mother Nature gridlocks northeast pumpkin production Kristin Melody Pride Staff Writer An average pumpkin sold in New York City could cost $25 this Halloween—twice the cost of the previous year, according to Associated Press. The price of a pumpkin in the northeastern states could nearly double due to nature's adverse effects that devastated pumpkin crops. According to The Week magazine, the pumpkin shortage in the northeast stemmed from three factors. First, the season got off to a late start due to heavy rain fall in spring and summer; flooding caused late pumpkin planting. Second, a fungus that thrives in wet conditions, phytophthora, infected most of the northeastern crops. Third, Hurricane Irene swept the east coast and destroyed the remaining pumpkin crops or washed them away, leaving many farmers without pumpkins for harvest and income. Other parts of the nation are able to sell at normal prices, including San Diego's local pumpkin patch Bates Nut Farm. According to a Bates Nut Farm employee, since the pumpkins were grown locally at the patch, Bates had not been affected by the pumpkin shortage, so the farm did not raise prices from last year. This excluded the jack-o-lanterns which went up $0.25 from last year. Bates purchased these from a Colorado farm, which had raised its prices to accommodate the shortage. A standardsize pumpkin at Bates cost $6. The "Big Macs," huge pumpkins, ranging from 25 - 115 pounds, started at $0.45 per pound and lowered to $0.30 per pound by the end of October. Bates Nut Farm, a 100 acre community farm in Valley Center established in 1921, hosts local events such as classic car shows, art festivals4 and scarecrow contests. The farm also generates income through the Bates Nut Farm general store that grows, produces and packages items such as dried fruit, fudge, nuts, hot sauces, oils and candies and seasonal decorations and knick-knacks. The Pumpkin Station is a local San Diego pumpkin grower who has four locations that sell pumpkins and have inflatable toys and a corn maze. Two farm locations in Rancho Bernardo and Bonita are where the Pumpkin Station grows a small amount of their pumpkins. "I didn't even know there was a pumpkin shortage this year. The Pumpkin Station has not raised their prices in 5 years," a Pumpkin Station employee said. A soccer ball-sized pumpkin costs $4 or the patch sells larger "bodacious pumpkins." The Home Depot in Vista charges $3.33 for small pumpkins, $4.48 for large and $8.48 for extra large. Last year, they charged $2.99 for the small size. The " Home Depot buys their pumpkins from growers in the U.S. The 2007 Census of Agriculture reported total harvested pumpkins for sale in the U.S. were grown on 92,955 acres of land at 15,088 farms, producing approximately 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkin annually.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer The modern practice of Halloween has stronger ties to historical celebrations of the holiday than you might think. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the name of the holiday comes from the holiday's original name, "All Hallows Eve." As time progressed, the name shortened to become "Halloween." All Hollows Eve was in practice the night before All Saints Day, "a day commemorating all the saints of the church, both known and unknown." The traditions we practice in our modern celebrations of Halloween originated hundreds of years ago. Over time, our practices, which traditionally take place on Oct. 31, have lost a great deal of their original meaning. By going through many of the common aspects and traditions of Halloween, it is evident where modern traditions have come from. According to historian Nicholas Rogers' book "Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night," Halloween is likely to have de veloped from the Celtic tra dition of Samhain» Samhain is a festival which commemorates the end of harvest. This festival, which begins on Oct. 31 and is typically held for several days, is a preparation for the dark seasons to come following the harvest. Trick-or-Treating is the activity commonly associated with children go CSUSM," María Bacca, a CSUSM student and creator of the events page, wrote. "If [CSUSM is] a campus that cares about community, then the voice of that community should be heard," Literature and Writing Graduate student Jeff Schoneman said in an interview. "There should be a safe structure or space created where people can address those ideas [in the Koala] with the people who are actually writing them to see how truly weak the logic behind those assertions is." Sociology master's student Flora Seawood said in an interview that she is shocked to hear of the Koala's content. Seawood described the publication as counterproductive and contrary to the university's purpose.

Do you have your costume yet? If not, don't stress. The Pride has some ideas that are cheap, quick and fun. •Wishing it was summer again? It could be. After all, Halloween is the excuse to outlaw all fashion rules. Take out your favorite swimsuit and splotch some sunscreen on your nose. To up your lifeguard costume, get yourself a whistle and an inflatable inner tube from the Dollar Store. • For a more comedic costume, get your favorite cereal and literally become a "cereal" killer. Flatten out some cereal boxes and tape them to a plain shirt. Think outside the box and get a rubber knife to make your costume more imaginative. •Unleash your inner rocker and take out your Green Day concert shirt from the closet. Put on some dark jeans, tease your hair and put on some intense eyeliner. Dressing up as a rock star is great because you can personalize it your way. If you don't have an intense rock star shirt but have something a little more mellow like a Maroon 5 shirt, become a band's groupie. •Whatever sport you enjoy, take out your favorite team's jersey to show your appreciation. Just because baseball season just ended and basketball* has a two week lockout doesn't mean you have to store your uniform in the closet. This is a simple and easy costume to put together, but you still get to dress up. • If you and your friends don't what to do as a group, dress up as the adorable 101 Dalmatians. All you need is a plain white shirt, black or white shorts, white socks, and white shoes. Get a black sharpie and draw black spots on your white plain shirt and socks. Put your hair up in pigtails and wear a cute necklace as your collar. • Are you a fan of socks and sneakers? Go as an American tacky tourist. Put on a shirt you got from vacation, shorts and dig in your parents' closet for a fanny pack. The best thing about being a tacky tourist is that you caii personalize it. If you are a huge Disney fan, dress as if you are going to Disney World. If you have always wanted to go to Hawaii, put on a tacky Hawaiian shirt. �F eatures California State University San Marcos, San Marcos, California | Tuesday, October 25,20111 Visit The Pride online at csusmpride.com H appy Hour of the W eek: Three stories of fun at D avina's C abo Grill & Cantina Kristin Melody M O G L is hookin' you up with 1 0 % cash-back at Mr. Taco o n every purchase, every time!

Learning about goblins and monsters that seemed to hide anywhere where light fails to shine. As we got older, the stories got better. Suddenly, these "monsters" were potentially people whom once lived among us. Just an average Joe that kept to himself but secretly kidnapped teenagers and put their bodies in dungeons. Now that •we are technically "grown up," it's silly to still believe in ghost stories, right? But tell me, Cougars: have you ever been on campus alone and felt something eerie creep up your neck? Have you ever been in the library and suddenly a book falls with no explanation of how? What about the first floor? Have you ever made the long walk from the Math Lab to the Writing Center and heard other footsteps or saw someone swiftly walk by, yet no one was around? When I asked students about their "haunted" experiences in Kellogg Library, the looks of skepticism told me that they were sure ghosts weren't "real." And quite frankly, they're right. Ghosts aren't real. They don't have physical bodies, but does that mean they don't exist? Upon much investigation, I found that our very own Kellogg Library has a few regular guests that occupy the building once the doors are locked for the night. The first account I received was from Dr. Geoffrey Gilmore, who has had his own experience on the first floor of the library. Though his haunting was a few years ago, EartOut C«®h Iil had on the first floor. Footsteps, doors opening and closing, certainly it can't all have logical reasonings, right? How far can wind blow through the basement of a building? L also spoke with UPD, and they informed me of more urban legends. Supposedly, a young girl haunts the third floor library, mysteriously playing with toys. The fourth and fifth floor's usual guest is a girl in a white dress with a "slit throat," as some claim, knocking all the books down from the shelves. Was the girl Dr. Gilmore met just a figment of his imagination? What about the footsteps Ms. Dupont hears when the rest of the building is empty?

It makes me wonder what the scare factor had for films in the past that it's just not maintaining today. Ifindfear itself a successful way to instill fear in others. It's frightening to know how easily fear can transcend into reality as any other emotion can. Sometimes it doesn't always have to be in your face, and you don't have to actually see the "bad guy" (whether it be human or not). If you strip away all of the effects, jolting music and excessive gore, maybe the real terror can reveal itself. Whether you're home alone, at a haunted house or enjoying a horror film, once the distractions are gone, raw fear arises. Kyle M. Johnson Amy Salisbury Media Manager Flags Magic Mountain are a few popular choices. The unexpected affects anyone. Even those who claim to be veterans of horror can be spooked in the right place at the right time. The shock factor boils down to two things. The first is that loud boom of music that jolts you out of your seat during a film. It is quite annoying, considering it only gets out of you a moment of fright—only because you weren't expecting it. Second, I associate shock with films riddled with graphic violence and scenarios that seem like they're meant to gross you out rather than scare you. But then again they must be doing something right; the "Saw" franchise gained an average grossing of over $59 million and a total of over $415 million according to boxefficemojo.com (and I admittedly really liked the first film). "Mean Girls" is one of my favorite movies. The entire thing is full of extraordinarily hilarious one-liners, but one sentence within one scene rang truest to me: "Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." Although you could say that's kind of true, Halloween does not constitute an excuse to wear a costume limited to lingerie and animal ears. In fact, originality is not that far away if you know where to look. This year, consider cultural relevance, conversation over controversy and creativity when choosing your costume. For your convenience, here is a list of a few of the most topical costumes for this season's celebrations. Wall Street You'll need a Styrofoam poster board painted like a road. Wait for it. Instead of being part of the 99 percent or even part of the one percent, here's your chance to be even more ironic than the Occupy Wall Street neo-hippie protesters themselves. Execution: paint your poster board like a road, go up to people and hold up the poster in their faces whenever they try to do anything at all. The effect will be especially hilarious if your significant other dresses as money and applauds you. Presidential Candidates You'll need a power suit and a convincing thumbs up. This option is especially easy and offers a lot of versatility for those who don't want to buy a new outfit for the night. Pick your favorite candidate (like Texas governor Rick Perry or career flight attendant Tom Miller) and go to town. Find a good, appropriate prop to enhance the mockery. Steve Jobs You'll need a black turtleneck, blue jeans, glasses and a winner's smile. What better way to honor the world's leading technology innovator than to actually be him for a night? Don't even say "It's too soon." The worst thing that could happen is someone uses an iPhone to record your Jobsy antics and then puts it on Facebook using a Mac. It's a win-win. Retraction In The Pride's Oct. 11 issue, the "Breast Cancer Awareness" article incorrectly spelled Zionna Munoz's last name as "Mnouz." The correct spelling is "Munoz." The article also said Munoz was diagnosed with breast cancer. In reality, her friend was diagnosed with breast cancer at twenty-six-years old. As a result, "Munoz began Barbells for Boobs to organize the Amazing Grace fundraiser. Proceeds are donated to Mammograms in Action, a non-profit breast-cancer organization of which Munoz is founder and president," according tojournal.crossfit.com. With "Shrek the Third" and "Shrek Forever After" being unnecessary contributions to a once great film series, it was hard to imagine that "Puss in Boots" would be anything more than yet another addition of overkill to the series. However, the spin-off prequel does just the opposite. Long before Puss meets Shrek, "Puss in Boots" tells the story of the titular feline as he reunites with his childhood friend and fellow outcast Humpty Dumpty as they search for magic beans. With the help of Kitty Softpaws, a cat with an expertise in thievery, they set out to find the magic beans so they can grow a beanstalk in order to steal the golden eggs from the golden goose in the giant's castle in the clouds. * The story is elaborate and intertwines several fairy tales by mixing and substituting the traditional, well-known plot elements. But that is half the fun here, as Jack and Jill now possess the beans, while the former Jack who once possessed them now goes by Andy Beanstalk. It's hot just because his character's name is in the title that Antonio Banderas owns this movie with his voice work as Puss. He is once again hilarious, over the top, heroic and seductive, balancing out all characteristics perfectly. Salma Hayek's character Kitty Softpaws presents herself as a fun counterpart for Puss. In fact, as strange as it may be to say, Banderas and Hayek's chemistry is a little too good, a majorly un- common accomplishment for animated films. Zach Galifianakis lends his voice to Humpty Dumpty. With Humpty being such a misunderstood character, he unfortunately doesn't give room to Galifianakis for his usual comedic potential. Seeing the film in 3D is not absolutely recommended unless you want to pay a few more dollars to see the occasional gimmick. However, children are likely to get much amusement out of the use of 3D. "Puss in Boots" is a surprisingly good movie, returning to the charm and wit that made "Shrek" and "Shrek 2" so great. If more sequels are to come in this new series, we can only hope that the successors of this film are just as rewarding. "Puss in Boots" opens in theatres Friday, Oct. 28. �California State University San Marcos, San Marcos, California | Tuesday, October 25,2011 | Visit The Pride online at csusmpride.com A&E Tales from the Nerd Si Scared Bitless - The Top Five Scariest Games Chris Giancamllli Pride Staff Writer H alloween w eekend l ooking G rimm?

Frightening movies, creepy music and horrific television specials all make thenway into our homes, but video games also have their share of bone-chilling stories. Players walk through blood-drenched corridors and pitch-black rooms not knowing what lies just around the corner. Halloween gives players the opportunity to revisit these nightmarish settings and experience terrifying new ones. Here's a breakdown of the top five scariest games to get those pulses pounding. Dead Space (2008, Electronic Arts) Campus ImprovTeam draws crowds Players take on the role of Issac Clarke, an engineer sent to a repair a seemingly abandoned space shuttle.

Throughout the game, Daniel encounters horrific beings roaming the halls of the castle. With no weapons to defend himself, Daniel's is forced to run and hide from the horrors that lurk in the dark. FJÏAJL. (2005, Vivendi Universal) In this horror-shooter, players are assigned to a top secret squad of soldiers known as F.E.A.R.

As they make their way through the facility, the F.E.A.R. soldiers are plagued by the ghost of a little girl who causes them to see horrific hallucinations. BioShock 2 (2010,2K Games) Players return to the underwater city of Rapture, a rusted relic of a once thriving metropolis, in "BioShock 2."

A total of 565 students voted in last week's referendum, the ELC passed received 82 percent of the vote on Thursday, October 21. The referendum ensures that the ELC will get student funding to remain in business. In the past, ASI has provided the means to keep the facility operating, but budget cuts for ASI resulted in the necessity of student contributions to keep the facility open. Students who voted online from October 18-21 decided that an additional $10 should be added to enrollment fees tofinancethe ELC. According to Roy Lee, ASI VP of Communications, the annual budget for the ELC is about $300,000. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the collection from students will total ^bout $144,000, and the fees for the parents of the children attending the ELC will pay the remaining $156,000 of thè budget.

The four propositions discussed were state Propositions 66, 70,71, and local Proposition B. There were eight panelists, one for both sides of each issue. Panelists consisted of CSUSM students, professors, and members of the community. President Haynes, ASI, and the Academic Senate sponsored the event. Students enjoyed the free food that was provided during the debate, but many began to leave for classes as the event continued. By the end of the event there were only about 20 people who remained in attendance. The first debate was over state Proposition 66. Proposition 66 would amend the California Three Strikes Initiative that was passed by voters in 1994. Professor Valerie Callahan argued in favor of the proposition. Callahan urged voters to approve the changes to the Three Strikes Statute contained in Prop. 66.

Approximately 170 people gathered in Academic Hall room 102 on Wednesday, October 20 to celebrate the construction of the business building set to open in the spring 2006. "This is an exciting event. A milestone has been reached and it's time to celebrate," said Cal State San Marcos President Karen Haynes. After listening to speeches by University President Karen Haynes, Dean of the College of Business, Dennis Guseman, and others who made the building possible, attendees had the opportunity to sign a steel beam that will be placed in the building. At the event it was announced that a yet-to-be-named donor came forward with 5 million dollars to name the building, which is the largest gift received by CSUSM for a single project. The name of the building is set to be announced this week. Photos by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Above: Event participants s ign the ceremonial beam. Below: The staff of C oBA s igns the beam.

The ELC is not only a childcare center and a place for children to begin learning basic lessons at an early age, it is also a place that employs students and provides internship opportunities. "We are an essential service for students, students utilize the center that are not student parents," said Mosetta RodriguesCoppedge, site supervisor of the ELC. "The majority of the children here are children of CSUSM students." Hilary Gross-Richmond, a senior at CSUSM, is fulfilling her internship requirement at the ELC by helping the preschool class three days a week. GrossRichmond feels that the passing of the referendum is "a wonderful thing." "It's the reward of knowing that once you have taught them something or read them a story, they appreciate it and come back for more. It's the reward of their smile," said Gross-Richmond describing her favorite part about working with the children at the ELC. Currently, the state of California does not require that children attend preschool before enrolling in Kindergarten, but many Kindergarten programs expect children to have a basic understanding of letters and numbers before ' "V , ^ ' J -'I The Pride is published weekly on Tuesdays during the academic year, Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establish meats.

J ack! 8 58-565-2144 �NEWS THE PRIDE DEBATE, from page 1 campus BY KATIE POWERS Pride Staff Writer Last week Students took little notice of For Him Magazine's visit to campus as rain filled the sky. For Him Magazine (FHM) set up a booth in front of the Kellogg Library with video games and promotional giveaways on Tuesday, October 19. At 8:00 p.m. in Arts 240, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) and FHM sponsored the appearance of comedian Christian Finnegan. Finaegan cracked up the small audience that attended the show. The comic captured the audience's attention by almost "tea bagging" them. Next he moved on to relationship philosophy. "Relationships are like yard sales, they look really f un from 100 feet away, but when you get close you realize it's a bunch of shit you don't need," joked Finnegan Finnegan cracked jokes for the rest of the hour long show on everything from his "fat-tax" to the Olympics to the upcoming election. The audience seemed to enjoy Finnegan's wit and slightly twisted sense of humor. "It was tight! More people should have come, they missed out," said student Angela Jenkins Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Christian Finnegan performs. People at the event speculated as to why only 24 people showed up for the comedy performance. Most explanations for lack of attendance focused around the weather. "It sucks it was on a Tuesday, let alone a rainy Tuesday," said Eric Groset, director of social programming for ASI. Angela Jenkins thought the small audience was partially due to the lack of publicity for this event. "I just heard about it today, I picked up aflyerbut it didn't have a date on it," said Jenkins. When all was said and done those that attended the show left with a smile on their faces and sore sides. Christian Finnegan left San Marcos with sore legs and a smile as well. "There's lots of stairs. That's brutal, it's brutal here, but it's been great. I hope I can come back at a later date when it's sunny," said Finnegan. Christian Finnegan can be seen every Friday at 11:00 p.m. on VHl's new series Best Week Ever as well as in his occasional appearances on the Chappelle Show on Comedy Central. lent," said Callahan about the proposition. She stated that Proposition 66 would narrow the definition of serious or violent crimes to exclude petty crimes such as burglary or attempted burglary. Callahan said because of the three strikes law California has the "highest prisoner population in the nation." CSUSM student Stephen Keller, argued against Proposition 66. "It punishes people with no respect for the law," said Keller about current three strikes law. Keller said that the current law doesn't need to be changed and is "riot targeting petty crimes." The second debate addressed state Proposition 70. Proposition 70 would enact a tax of 8.84 percent on the net revenue of gaming. Community member David Lent argued in favor of the proposition. "It's time the tribes stepped up to the plate," said Lent. Lent urged voters to vote "yes" on Proposition 70 because, "it would bring two billion dollars to the table for all of California." Community member and Native American, David Whitehorse argued against Proposition 70. "It creates a 99-year monopoly," said Whitehorse about Proposition 70. He said that Proposition 70 "does not bring sovereignty or a fair share," for Make Your Voice Heard: Vote Need encouragement?

Proposition 71 would provide state funding for stem cell research. Dayleen Coleman, a human development major, argued in favor of the proposition. "Stem cell research is the best chance to cure many different diseases. The new cures could affect up to 100 million people," said Coleman. Executive Director of the CSUSM College Republicans Nick Bonomi argued against Proposition 71. "Those who are going to vote for religious reasons are going to vote against Proposition 71," said Bonomi. Asking voters not to approve the measure because of its' cost to taxpayers. Bonomi said, "Prop 71 costs three billion dollars, plus three billion dollars in interest." The last debate was over local Proposition B. Proposition B would reverse a previous proposition that approved the Gregory Canyon Landfill. CSUSM student, Didi Lund, argued in favor of the proposition. "The garbage dump is not needed," said Lund. Stressing environmental protection as a reason the Proposition should pass. Lund said, "The garbage dump threatens the San Luis Rey river. It could be polluted." Political consultant Jennifer Tierney argued against Proposition B. "Landfills are needed," said Tierney asking voters to deny the proposition. Tierney said, "Voting 'No' does not necessarily mean that it will be built. It insures that it will go through the process." CLASSIFIEDS E GG D ONORS N EEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30.

"There's a saying, 'Savoir Vivre' often used in the United States," Anover said. "It is the art of knowing how to enjoy life, to eat a good meal, to enjoy a vacation. One should enjoy life more than so than simply working." Yet, living in the United States has made it a little more difficult trying to balance both American and European lifestyles. Anover, who was born in France, has spent many years traveling between both France and Spain attending school as well as visiting family. "I am as much French as I am Spanish," Anover said. If her family was in France, summer vacations were spent in Spain, and vice versa. Life was a bit more collective where the government provided state funded health benefits as well as six-weeks of paid vacation for teachers. Yet, her love for languages drew her to the United States 14 years ago as she participated in a non-native speaker of Mekenye - Associate Professor of History Department Country: Kenya English program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. If anything however, she misses her personal time. "Workaholic is an American word," Anover said. According to Anover, the lifestyle in which Americans live in does not allow for vacation time. "It's not that we [Americans] don't want to have a vacation, but it's just that the way society is, the priorities are different." As the French Club's advisor, as well as Associate Professor and Faculty Advisor for French, Anover shares these words of advice to those who share a bicultural experience: Try your best to integrate into the society that you're embracing without losing yourself, your roots. "Life here can be very brutal, a high stress society as compared to a more relaxed way of life in Kenya," said Reuben Mekenye, history professor. Having been born and raised in Kenya, Mekenye spent many years on the countryside tending to livestock and cultivating corn, coffee, tea leaves, etc until he moved to the city to attend college. As a diligent college student, Mekenye was expelled for his activities as a student leader tackling various issues such as national issues to issuing statements on behalf of the student community during Kenya's political turmoil. By that time, he had processed his papers in Lesotho and was admitted to both Canada and the United States after a year. In 1988, he arrived in San Diego as a refugee through the sponsorship of a Catholic church. In a state of culture shock, Mekenye had difficulty interacting with people and finding his way around. Cultural Curners Diverse professors from different ends of _____ the spectrum "You shake hands in Africa," Mekenye said, as he noted that in the United States greetings are very short and informal. It is customary to have a conversation rather than a simple hello. After a short six month stay, he was awarded a scholarship to the University of Wisconsin, which required much adjustment considering the frigid climate. He longed for the Southern California climate and was later accepted to the University of California, Los Angeles, where he happily returned to a warmer climate. He grew very fond of the education system as it was more democratic, unlike the authoritarian practices of Kenya. "Tests were public exams given by strangers. We all took it at once," Mekenye said. After many years, Reuben Mekenye still retains what he considers conservative practices of Kenya such as having respect for the elders. "Listen first, do more listening then talking," Mekenye said. "It is expected that the elders are to command more knowledge." With his vast sense of knowledge, he shares, "Be open-minded. Don't forget where you come from. Your values, you need to treasure them to keep your background and those values will serve you well."

Being an All American golfer doesn't come easy, she practices with "I eat, sleep, and think about golf 24/7,"saidFrench. her team five times a week, attends yoga twice a week, and weight trains once a week. "Playing everyday really makes an improvement," said French. "I eat, sleep, and think about golf 24/7." French has been golfing for ten years. Her whole family plays golf, so it was easy for her to fall in love with the sport. She has dreams of playing in the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) like her idol and former babysitter Leta Lindley, and will try for her pro-card when she's finished with college. "I wouldn't be doing it, if I didn't love it," French said. "I love golfing in college because as an individual you can succeed, but at the same time you help your team." French's commitment to golf has paid off. She placed in the top 15 and earned an All-American title at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) tournament last year as a freshman. It is early in the season, but French said she expects "to improve every year" so golf fans can expect great things from her this year. As for the rest of the team, "They are a young team made up of mostly freshman and sophomores and although they are doing great this year, the team will strengthen and improve in the years to come," French said. Golf is a spring and fall sport, unlike other college sports which usually only play for one semester. The first tournament of the fall season was the Grand Canyon Tournament at the end of September. The team placed fourth out of forty-five teams and individually French and her teammate Kyle Safford placed in the top five. Golf is one of three intercollegiate sports supported by CSUSM. It is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) 'which is like the NCAA for smaller schools. The golf team has averaged about three tournaments a semester; the last tournament of the fall will take place November 7-9 at Cal Poly SLO.

On top of trying to finish assignments, doing last minute revisions, andfindingparking, deciding on a major is just as stressful. Cal State San Marcos was once limited on the number of majors offered, but as a growing university, more and more majors are finding their way to our campus. This semester a new major is in the process of becoming official; physical education and kinesiology, the study of the anatomy, physiology and mechanics of body movement especially in humans. The physical education and kinesiology major is intended to prepare students interested in the single subject teaching credential in physical education. The major is targeted to those who are also interested in pursuing careers in advanced degrees in physical education, kinesiology, exercise science, sports medicine, physical therapy and rehabilitation. Those who are involved and currently taking classes are interested in starting a new club on campus to help build a foun- dation for the major. Andre Tungcab, a current kinesiology student is excited to be in a new major that is fresh and able to grow. "It's a different class where you're able to see how the body works," he said. This semester, there are three official classes that are being offered, Kine 208, a hands-on lab class designed to practice movement in the field house, Kine 300, which studies the biomechanics of human movement, and Kine 301, which studies motor control. "Being in the major as it develops, there are certain advantages and disadvantages," said Tungcab. "An advantage to the program is that the field house has just opened, and kinesiology is a major that is open and able to branch off into a lot of differentfields.The disadvantage is that it's a new program and it's not well known." This semester, there are currently two professors teaching the classes: Todd Astorino and Laura deGhetaldi. Head of the department is advisor Dr. Nichols. "The teachers who are running the program are really positive and encouraging," Tungcab said, "especially with being oneon-one to guiding us in the right direction." There has been a lot of positive feedback from students currently enrolled in these classes. For those interested in sports and activities, or for those who come from a background of sports and share an interest, classes are available and open to all students and staff here on campus. �THE PRIDE Jock Talk With Josh SPORTS Tuesday; October 262004 BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer I think it's safe to say that the 86-year old curse of the Bambino is finally over for the Boston Red Sox, right? The spirit of the Bambino dealt the Sox a blow in the American League Championship Series by spotting the Yankees three games. Then in game four and five with Mariano Rivera on the mound for the Yankees; the so called best closer in playoff history ends up taking one to the groin on consecutive nights as the Red Sox came back and stole two wins. Then when the series moved back to New York for the final two games no one gave the Sox a shot since after all they were entering the most sacred of baseball stadiums in the frightening atmosphere of the Bronx. However, somehow they were able to put away the Yankees in game six as Curt Schilling's ankle was literally turning his white socks into "red sox" as he was bleeding throughout the whole game due to a loose tendon being stitched to his skin. The following night the Sox put the Yanks away and in doing so they made it to their first World Series since 1986 to face the St. Louis Cardinals who are making their first appearance since 1987. Then in game one of the World Series the Bambino tried to literally trip up the Sox again as Manny Ramirez looked like he was running on ice in leftfieldas he made two errors which lead to the Cards tying the game at nine. But the Bambino's attempt was about as SPECIAL ED TEACHERS & TEACHER'S AIDES ***WeVe Expanded*** Opening 30+ Positions Image courtesy of http://boston.redsox.mlb.com successful as a J-lo marriage when Mark Bellhorn hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Sox the win. The Bambino has been creative in his attempts to send tears throughout Boston for an 86th consecutive season, but he has not been successful yet and do we really want the Bambino to fail? Everyone says they want the Red Sox to win or that they think this is the season for the Sox since they have dodged all those previously mentioned bullets from the Bambino, but deep down I know that no one really thinks the Sox will win. I mean if the Sox win the World Series what will baseball fans have to look forward to next year? It's a tradition that the Sox are supposed to find a new way to implode so even though the Bambino hasn't been successful in his attempts to this point, you just wait because he will make an appearance in this World Series and he won't strike out. Drop me an E-mail at Sando026@csusm. edu to send your praise for when my Red Sox prediction comes through or if by some miracle the Sox win the series you can send your criticism.

You checked the boxes, filled in the blanks, and got it in the mail in time to count yourselves among the elite: students who are registered to vote! By now you're receiving an avalanche of junk mail — 'yes on this,' 'no on that,' 'vote for me' — and somewhere between those slick, four-color, multi-million dollar efforts to influence your vote are the decidedly unslick materials the Secretary of State sends that form the backbone of any informed voter's decision-making process: the Sample Ballot and the Official Voter Information Guide (and it's trusty assistant, the supplement) ~ approximately 260 pages of reading that makes "Hamlet" seem light and frothy in comparison. Don't despair dear voter-to-be, this is not a test; it's voting. Nobody but the most anal retentive, Mensan lawyer actually reads every page, and neither will you. In fact, it's perfectly okay to simply walk into your polling place next Tuesday, get your ballot, and vote only for President of the United States. Other than deciding who you're going to pick (and nothing in the Secretary of State's materials will help you on this one) it's hardly any work at ail. The only reading requirement will be to read the back of your Sample Ballot to see where you're polling place is, and then carefully reading the names under "President of the United States" so you don't pull a Floridian and bubble in the wrong one. Like it or not, the President is not the only thing you can vote for that will have an impact on your future: there's a senator on the ballot this year, an assortment of judges, college and hospital board members (depending on where you live), and we can't forget those wonderful proposi- Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride tions, which often have the potential to take money from you for years to come. My strategy for choosing how I'm going to vote is fairly simple. For the people part of the ballot, I vote for people I know and like (for example Bush, Boxer, and Cunningham in this election), and either women or Republicans in positions I don't know anything about (judges, boards, etc.). On the propositions, I mostly end up analyzing who has signed the arguments for and against, and that usually tells me enough about the proposition to make my choice. The people and groups who sign the proposition arguments all have agendas, so I just look for endorsements by groups whose agendas match mine (e.g. AAA because I like to drive, UCAN because I like to consume, Jarvis Taxpayers because I don't like to pay taxes, and League of Women Voters because they're really smart and analyze everything). I realize that I may be revealing myself to be less informed than my fictitious, anal retentive, T he P assion o f M el G ibson BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Mel Gibson: the man, the artist, the icon. Whatever you want to call him, he has ranked number one on the Forbes annual celebrity power list of 2004. His total earnings are an estimated $210 million, mainly from his controversial film "The Passion of the Christ." First and foremost, I consider Gibson one of the rare true film artists. He deserves to be number one. Not like Britney Spears that ranked number one in the 2002 that can't sing but only sell T&A. Gibson has the talent and the vision to make any film a critically memorable multi-million dollar success. When every mainstream studio and distributor declined to endorse and promote "The Passion of the Christ," he funded the estimated $25 million budget himself and found Newmarket Films to distribute the film on an independent level. He wasn't about to trash twelve years of his research. He obviously has generated a lot of profit for the big studios and it must have been disappointing for him to be shut out in the cold. This is Hollywood's tragic irony. They send you out as sheep amidst the wolves. Having seen the box office results, I'll bet the studio executives are kicking themselves if they haven't done so already. "The Passion of the Christ" grossed $370 million in the United States and a little over $600 million worldwide. It was released on February 25, 2004 and held the number one spot for the weekend gross for three consecutive weekends. It re-entered the number one weekend gross the weekend of Good Friday (April 9). This is a rarity in Hollywood. It is also estimated that the film will earn another $150 million from the DVD sales which will rank him high in the 2005 power list. Gibson has mastered every role he has taken. From the womanizer in "What Women Want," to the suicidal goofball in the "Lethal Weapon" series, to the vengeful thief in "Payback," to the slick gambler in "Maverick," to the faithless widower in "Signs," to the legendary Scottish hero in the brilliant "Braveheart." So it's safe to say he has excelled every genre of film. Not only that, he developed convincing chemistry with every one of his leading ladies and other costars. This opinion wouldn't be complete if I didn't at least briefly critique "The Passion of the Christ." Artistically, Gibson takes the unbiased direction. He's not making the film to serve or satisfy anyone. Is it historically accurate? No one can be the judge of that. Not any religious figure/group or historian. Many fail to realize that fact. With any film based on a true story or event, some facts are purposely excluded and/or changed for entertainment purposes, the reputation of parties' involved, privacy issues, etc. Given "The Passion of the Christ" as well as "Braveheart" as an example, the events were told through many generations and may or may not have been documented accurately. This is a film, not a documentary. So what's going to happen to Gibson now? Every studio will be drooling and fighting over his future projects. Gibson has expressed an interest in making afilmabout the Maccabees and the Jewish faith. He has earned his place in Hollywood history. He has earned his place as number one. In the film "Ransom," he said "Many people acquire their fortune. But not me, I built it, from the ground up and no one is taking it away." This holds true. Mensan lawyer - or any eighth-grader with a demanding civics teacher -- but I figure in doing so I may be helping to free you from the belief that voting is too much work; like college, it's as much work as you choose to put into it. Now nothing, knave voters, is more boring than sitting alone and reading through all this stuff by yourself, so get together with some friends, take an hour or two to go through the ballot, and figure out what choices make sense for you. Mark up your Sample Ballot and take it with you to the polls (you wouldn't leave the answer key at home if you could bring it to the test, would you?) If you make a mistake while voting, don't be embarrassed, just ask for another ballot. Whether you invest the time to figure out all the propositions, or you just want t o cast a vote for president, it's all good. Be as informed as you have time for, and vote! Slicing through the political rhetoric BY DANIEL LOWE Pride Staff Writer Vote! Vote, but don't bother to be informed. That's right, read this article and then forget about reading any more about the elections. Why? The informed voter is a myth. Politicians themselves don't even know the issues. How can we as voters possibly know the issues? Many key issues are either completely unsolvable, or are unsolvable by a normal citizen. Either people just don't know, or in order to know, you'd have to spend half your life researching it. Let's focus on some of the issues of the presidential race as an example. Is the President's plan in Iraq working? Kerry again attacks President Bush by saying in a debate, "I have laid out a different plan because the president's plan is not working." Kerry has senators on his side and Bush has Iraqi officials on his. Both are experts. Who are we supposed to believe if the experts disagree with each other? It's just one person's word against another. Are we supposed to go to Iraq to find out ourselves? Does Kerry have more credibility with other nations than Bush does? Kerry contends that we need a new president with fresh credibility. No foreign nation is going to tell us, . "ft ? P9*. the war, it's your leader" No French or Russian president is going to tell us, "Oh actually I really dislike Bush as a person, that's why we're not helping you." This issue is unsolvable. Even Bush and Kerry cannot know the answer to this question. How are we supposed to vote on it? Fact checking articles such as CNN's Fact Check are sometimes helpful, but usually it makes more of a mess than before. For example, Bush claims that Kerry has voted 98 times to raise taxes. CNN's Fact Check clarifies this by saying, "The number is somewhat inflated because it includes all votes on a given piece of legislation, including procedural votes and votes to end debate." So is 98 a lot or not? Is there any way to find out without having to look up all the different types of procedural votes and sort them out with Kerry's voting record? Just tell me if 98 is a lot or not! Those are just a few of the issues in the presidential election. Not to mention there's congressmen, senators, mayors, city council, many propositions and other issues to research. Usually it just becomes a case of "Who am I going to believe?" Don't be fooled by all that "informed voter" hype. It's just another tactic to get your vote. They want you to be informed about their side of the issue. The more you research an issue, the more you realize that nobody knows the answer. The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know. �THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 26 2004 Byl^SmNOJOLS P ^ Ombudsman By the time you read this puppy, 111 have attended a wedding in Vegas (not mine!), and had oodles of inebriated fun playing 6, 8, and i O the hard way' at the craps table. In the spirit of matrimony and frivolous monetary spending (both somehow connected), I'm gonna take a Prozac-suppository spin on things and speak nothing but happy-la-las on the Pride. Enjoy. Oooh. Ahhh. Yeah. Moore. Qh yeah, Moore! Don't stop! I want Moore! Moore! Moore! I don't think our little paper can get enough of him. And the fact that Moore was repeatedly quoted as trouncing our school's admin, that's great! Let'is all raise hell and collect 50 Benjamins! Oh yeaht And Nick Bonomi! d p on with your bad self! If the College Republi- DEGREE cans were the "Royal Order of Water Buffalo**; he'd be Fred Flintstoae. I love that he gets in this paper more than most of our writers. Do our editors get checks in the mail from Mr. Bonomi? I don't know, but I love him all the same. And that massive front-page picture of Bonomi four papers back.. i have it above my hope chest Phoenix says it best in her article, "Republicans are just too damn attractive!" And the Protest article, how great was that* A protester is almost run over by a motorist?! What an action sequence! I assume the motorist wasn't a Republican. They're kinder, gentler drivers. And the quote just after the attempted murder-by-bumper that read, "I felt a little uncomfortable, if was weird being in the middle of a protest, but everyone was being really nice," Talk about grace under fire. Speaking of grace, have you noticed how sharp the Pride's been looking? J think the Pride's PCs going on the fritz was the best damn thing to occur, Jason Encabo has cleaned this puppy up so well, I can actually see the graphics, pictures, and make out the 'paws' that go with every film review. Plus the ads! Verizon has a full-page ad now! A full page dedicated to "Can you hear me now?" Mo' adds means mo' money! I won't see any of it, but that's cool, we still get a better paper. If we get enough of these ads, we might one day see this paper in Technicolor. Oh, the beauty that goes with pastel skin tones... .. .and pastel clothes. The fell fashion frenzy article was so frickin rad. All those styles from the 70s and 80s are coming back! Bitchin. I get to look like a member of the Brat Pack again. I hope they bring back the rolled up pant legs and socks with cotton balls! Man, I miss the days of the mullet. Business in the front, party in the back! Which reminds me, how sweet the smell of 4eau de toilette.' I would never have imagined that an article could be written about the pump and dump, but Polly flushed it out with *flying colors.' And how appropriate to place her article under mine. Toilet humor meets the toilet And to load up for the toilet, Chef Dawson feeds the UVA residents. First mold and fire alarms, now food?! I want to live there! Plus I'd be only a hop, skip, and jump from the free counseling at the Student Health Services. After this article, I'll be asked to take advantage of the service for And if I don't make it there, I can feel good that Michelle Robinson says mediocrity is okay Then YU get to eat a banana and pose for the Pride next to our lovely (even when frowning) Chrissy Baldwin. Don't let the fact that she's an editor make you think I'm just saying that to suck up. Hove bananas. And I love Josh. I've made two jabs at him in this grey box, and he came back with a left hook that had me floored. His article on Caminiti's unfortunate passing was one of the sincerest, best damn articles I've read! I asked that you "Make me love you Josh,' and well., .what are you doing Friday? Don't worry, I'm an easy and cheap date, and we can go see "Team America; World Police." Phoenix gave it 5 paws* And whatever Phoenix says, I do. Like I told her, she's the only Republican I love to listen to or read. Don't worry Bonomi, there'll always be a special place for you in my heart. This concludes my happyla-las.

I also want to comment on the "protestors" at Moore's event who, on their signs, encouraged me "not to pay for lies." When their tax dollars are being spent to massacre people and convert Saddam's torture chambers into our own, I don't stand in front of their TV's with posters which claim "Bill O'Reilly is ugly." I was horrified to see that photo of one protestor whose sign read, "Michael Moore is fat." Did he really take a night offfromshooting beer cans THE PRIDE to show up at this event? Oh, is he the forwardthinking political activist who will save me from my ignorance to show the link between George Bush's vision for a peaceful world and Moore's unhealthy BMI? Michael Moore may not use his treadmill, but at least he uses his brain, which is more than can be said for those who swallow everything they're fed from a government who lives in constant fear of the humanitarian enlightenment of its people. In closing, allow me to say: The kind of ignorance which drives people to "protest" my right to question authority when innocent people die is the same ignorance that got innocent people killed on September 11th. The point of education is not answering questions but questioning answers. THINK- it's patriotic.

Was it Moore's commendation of the brave members of the military who are fighting for our country that I should be ashamed of? Maybe the hope he expressed for a speedy end to the war and turning Iraq back over to its citizens that I should be ashamed of. Possibly these negative individuals want me to be ashamed that our president has sold out to the NRA and allowed automatic weapons to be purchased again in our country making the streets less safe for the police and the average citizen. Now THAT I AM ashamed of Congress for allowing. Do the angry individuals want me to be ashamed that: they prefer a duty shirker to a true military hero? Michael Moore expressed true patriotic ideals. The hypocrisy shown by thèse protesters is astounding. They are the ones who should be ashamed. Thank you for bringing Michael Moore to San Diego.

Nicholas J Bonomi Executive Director Dear Editor, While watching the Presidential Debate, I was extremely dismayed at the mention of raising the Federal Minimum Wage by Senator John Kerry. Does Mr. Kerry realize that by raising the minimum wage you do not make living any more affordable for the lower class, but instead make it less affordable not only for them, but the lower portions of the middle class as well? Most middle class employees and small business owners will not earn more because their employers will not be inclined to give them a raise, but the cost of products that they produce and purchase will rise. The costs of products will rise proportionally to the �A &E THE PRIDE What if l7m pregna m ake i nformed, h ealth c onfident c hoices 760.744.11 2 77 S.

It's worth it, trust me. With that being said, let's discuss the music. It doesn't matter whether you like hip hop or not. If you are a fan of music then you should gravitate towards Talib Kweli's latest CD: The Beautiful Struggle. A few months ago the early version of this album ended up on the internet and street cor- ners alike so Kweli went back to the gym, trained harder* and came out with a sure fire first round knockout. On the opening track "Go Hard," Kweli does just that. Rhyming with the tenacity of a starving pit-bull, you can hear the hunger in his voice as he drops more knowledge in one verse than many of his peers will in an entire career: "people ask me how we wearing diamonds/when there's little kids in Sierra Leone CDReview ( losing arms for crying while they're mining". On this offering, Kweli takes listeners on a great journey of knowledge, pain, love, politics, religion, and fun. With assistance from producers, three of which are well known (The Neptunes, Kanye West, Just Blaze), Kweli does something that he has not done before; he simply makes music that has no limitations on it. It's not conscious or underground, it's just music.

I could give you hundreds of reasons why you should go buy this book, but really, all you need to do isfinda copy, flip through it for just a second, and you will be sold immediately. If you cannot find a copy to review and you just don't want to drive to the local bookstore for nothing, stop by The Pride Office at ACD302A sometime and take a look at ours! When you play this album you will be moved by it. Either your soul will move by the spiritual vibes of "Around My Way" or your arms might move when you tell someone to "Back Up Offa Me." On the albums most inspiring and greatest track "I Try", Kweli enlists Mary J. Blige to add the final punch to one of the best songs of the year.

Kweli also takes time to speak to the ladies in a positive and smooth manner (which is uncommon in hip hop these days) on the songs "We Know" features Faith Evans, "Black Girl Pain", and "Never Been In Love". The only problem spots for the BK MC are that the album only clocks in at 53 minutes. Some might feel this is too short but others may feel it's just right because of all the knowledge that is packed into the 13 songs. There are two album filler tracks that could have been replaced. The club themed "A game" and the "Planet Rock" influenced "We Got The Beat" should have been scrapped for collaborations with his Black Star partner Mos Def. Overall there is no struggle within this album. The second word in the title describes what the album is perfectly: beautiful. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

According to the Susan G. Komen website, wwwJcoipen. org, breast cancer does not discriminate by age or ethnicity. All women (and even some men) are susceptible to the disease, and over 200,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. Apart from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women but is also the most successfully treated. Regular mammogram screenings, MRIs, and ¿linical breast exams are imperative to the detection and treatment of breast cancer. The key to success comes with prevention through early detection. ^The earlier the detection of breast cancer, the more treatable the disease becomes. While women follow health guidelines and armor themselves in pink, there are still many other ways to get involved in the fight a|ainst breast cancer. The 60-mile Susan G.

CSUSM President Karen S , Haynes, Ph.D., said in her Oct. 18 Budget Update memo to the campus community, "The California economy continues to present challenges. Midyear budget cuts and a difficult budget year in 2011-12 are a real possibility." CSUSM's budget remains under review as officials await information provided by the Chancellor's Office. President Haynes plans to release additional information or possibly hold a budget forum when the details of the 2010-11 budget plans are more complete. A STATEMENT OF CLARIFICATION In the last Police Beat, a person was wrongfully identified as a "UVA [University Village Apartments] employee" when in fact the person in question was a full-time CSUSM employee, according to confirmation from Human Resources. At the time of the incident, the person was a CSUSM employee. A UPD contact confirmed for The Pride that University Police never identified the person had any affiliation with the UVA.

Government urges vaccination for seasonal flu SHCS offers flu shots for students and faculty/staff 2009 H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season." The CDC warns against vaccination for those who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, people who are currently sick with a moderate to severe illness with fever, or those recently diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. In years past, the CDC recommended two different shots for a patient to develop full immunity to seasonal flu viruses. This year, most patients require only one dose of this full-spectrum vaccination. However, the CDC recommends that children aged six months to eight years, who have never received a flu vaccination, get two doses of the flu vaccine spaced four or more weeks apart. People with the highest risk for seasonal flu infection include pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, and anyone with long-term health problems. Although it is not possible to get the flu from a flu shot, there is a slight risk of mild complications after receiving the vaccination. These complications include, but are not limited to, low-grade fever, soreness or redness at the injection site, and body aches, according to CVS phar- macies. Side effects usually last no longer than one to two days. To avoid possible side effects associated with vaccinations, select CVS pharmacies offer a nasal spray called FluMist for individuals between two and 49 with no health problems. The CVS pharmacy across from campus also offers flu vaccinations, but does not offer FluMist. The next dates for vaccinations are Oct. 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. and Nov. 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. The pharmacy does not require an appointment.

SELLING CLASS NOTESCONSIDERED GROUNDS FOR EXPULSION BY SANDRA CHALMERS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Think your essays and past class notes are worth more than just a letter grade? Think not. Selling class notes, past tests, or even essays breaks the student code of conduct that can lead to expulsion from the university and the entire CSU system. A recent press release from Bridget Blanshan, the Dean of students here at CSUSM, discussed that CSU students had participated in selling class notes to a third party site for money. According to the press release, this is prohibited under student code of conduct section 41301 of title 5 of the California Code of Regulations. The penalty includes expulsion. "Unauthorized recording, dissemination, or publication of academic presentations (including handwritten notes) for a commercial purpose." Students may think selling lecture notes seems to be a practical way of getting some extra cash for academic efforts, but if caught, the penalty can cost them their entire education. "If a student took time to study and is willing to sell their class notes, it is their prerogative. It becomes an issue on personal integrity and it shouldn't be the school's responsibility to intervene," said Kristen Collins, a senior majoring in Biology and Political Science. Expulsion is a permanent separation of the student from CSU student status from the California State Uni- versity system, as stated by Chancellor Reed in his 2009 Memorandum of student conduct procedures. Countless businesses try to entice students to give up their academic integrity by advertising to sell course material on a share system of helping other students through stresses of college. "I can see how it becomes a controversial issue, if a student is responsible and goes to class everyday and takes his/her own notes versus a slacker that can just buys the notes from someone else, its not fair," continued Collins. Sharenotes.com states on their website that their environment allows students to share, download, or buy notes, study guides, written reports and other course material for all subjects from over 100 colleges. "Working at the bookstore, I notice all the new textbooks and how much each semester the class materials change. It must be hard to sell class notes that keep up with the changes," said Collins. The student conduct case generated by the Associate Vice President and the Dean of Students for 2008-09 indicates that there were 113 incidents reports of academic misconduct referred by faculty. Though the nature of all these incidents are not explicitly detailed, three resulted in suspension and 51 resulted in academic probation. These incidents show a 79 percent increase from 2006-07 to 2008-09. trip. You get a great experience, make new friends, and visit new places while helping others." This year's trip to Washington D.C. will allow students to "get a chance to work with a great organization like Habitat for Humanity and help build new homes for those in need," said Gallegos. "Along with working during the days at our home sites, we provide opportunities for the students to attend different activities at night to see what there is to see. Even though it is a week of service, it still is Spring Break, so we still want to have fun." CSUSM is just one of the many universities nationwide that takes part in this service program, as it provides. students more options considering what to do for their school breaks. Organizations like Habitat for Humanity have also benefitedfromsuch generous outpouring of support from students who have all contributed in making a difference. Megan Carlier said, "It is such a humbling and fun experience, and it makes you realize how truly lucky you are; that is something we all seem to forget now and then."

T : MKW : BY MICHAEL RAWSON PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Sampus resourcesfin CSUSM shootings afety o the wake of school Reviewing c BY FAITH ORCINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER On Oct. 8, shots were fired at Kelly Elementary School in Carlsbad. Many of the young students were on the playground during the shooting, but only two were injured. Local construction worker Carlos Partida stopped the gunman, Brendan O'Rourke, with his truck. Steven Kane, a co-worker of Partida, helped Partida restrain the gunman until the police arrived. After a mental evaluation, O'Rourke was booked into jail on several charges including two counts of attempted murder and having a firearm in a public school. A judge from the Vista Court later arraigned him on Oct. 13. In a country where people have therightto ownfirearmwith a proper license, there are reports of criminal accidents concerning people firing or simply carrying guns every month. In September, the Automated Regional Justice Information System (AJIS) recorded 38 armed robberies, which is a decrease compared to 103 reported in August 2010. Fortunately, no one died at Kelly El- ementary, but it was not the same situation in other school shootings. Since the Columbine shootings in 1993, schools have updated their security staff and systems. Some have local police close by and even have several security guards on campus. School faculty and staff do their best to prepare themselves and their students for all possibilities. Teachers train the students on the appropriate actions during earthquakes, fires, and any other dangerous situations. That's the situation in most elementary and high schools, but what do you do in the independent world of college? For some, it has been years since they last reviewed the steps of a school lock-down. Luckily, California State University San Marcos has several resources for everyone in the campus about awareness and procedures. The campus police offer the Active Shooter Preparedness Presentation. This lecture informs students on how to report a person with a live firearm and find safety. Some GEL classes have the presentation, but for the students outside of the class, they can simply go to the CSUSM website and head over the University Police Video Series page to watch the "Shots Fired Video." If you do see any crimes, simply call 911 or the campus police at (760)750-4567. Especially right now, with the mountain lion warning, UPD is a good number to have programmed into your cellular phone. CSUSM updates the campus alert system once information is given about events. The school also has a program called Cougar Watch where anyone can call the police about suspicious activities. Members of campus police are also available to escort you from anywhere on campus to your vehicle or resident hall, between the hours of dusk and dawn, if you ever feel unsafe. According to the CSUSM University Police mission statement, their job is "to protect our campus community above all else." Even though classes may be hectic, rest assured student and faculty safety is guaranteed.

Permits local governments to regulate and tax commercial production, distribution, and sale of marijuana. Prop 19 seeks to legalize marijuana within the state of California. It would allow people 21 years of age or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Marijuana would remain illegal if the person possessing the substance was on school grounds, smoking in public, or in the presence of minors.

Those who oppose Prop 19, including MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), explain that the prop could endanger public safety and cut federal funding to schools. Those opposed include California Taxpayers Association. Proposition 26 would issue a requirement to have two-thirds vote in order to raise fees, this includes certain taxes which may or may not result in a revenue. These fees differ from taxes as they are used only to aid in government services. Advocates suggest that these fees need to use the same regulatory guidelines as taxes, which include a twothirds vote. Prop 26 is estimated to decrease state budget by having such rigorous requirements to support new revenues fees.

Either way, pumpkin carving is a simple and fun way to put your creativity on display for the Halloween season. The practice of pumpkin carving is a tradition that spans the length of centuries, though its association with Halloween is a little more recent. People used to carve and light objects like gourds in order to welcome the spirits of loved ones while also using the lit creations to keep out unfriendly spirits. This once specific activity has expanded to many places and fallen under quite different intentions nowadays. Needless to say, pumpkin carving may just be the one Halloween pastime that can be enjoyed at any age, in any way. It can also be a complicated process, depending on the complexity of the design you attempt to carve. As with most art projects, the possible ideas and designs are endless, so the basics are a good place to start. The tools used to carve pumpkins can consist of everyday kitchenware and tools found in the garage. Large,knives are helpful to remove the pumpkin stem and large spoons will make removing the pumpkin's innards easy and quick. Pencils and markers can be used to layout your design before you start to carve. Check out Google for sites that have downloadable stencils to get you started. As for the design details, it all depends mostly on what you want for the pumpkin. Here are some tips to begin the baSic pumpkin carving process: 1. Cut around the stem of the pumpkin, carving in a slanted position to keep the lid from falling in. 2. Next, scoop out the pumpkin's insides (to make it extra clean, use the scooping spoon to remove any extra pumpkin seeds and scraps off the inside walls). 3. After figuring out the side you want to place the design on, sketch out the design with a pencil or pen. Carve out the shapes with a knife, then push the pieces out. 4. When lighting your pumpkin, use a candleholder, place it carefully inside, and watch your jack-o'-lantern glow! For more information on the carving process, check http:// www.pumpkincarving 101 .com. Creative stencils can be found at sites like DLTK's Crafts for Kids (http://www.dltk-holidays. com/hallo ween/mpatterns .htm). Now that you have the basic steps down, the rest is up to individual creativity. Remember that pumpkins will not last forever and will dehydrate and rot, so take pictures right away to document your creations. If you intend on extending your pumpkin's preservation there are many methods to keep it from rotting. The PumpkinFresh spray-on preserver is one cheap option for postponing the inevitable a little longer (http:// www.pumpkinfresh.com/).

"I really felt a strong con- lowest level of collegiate athletics, it's really just a separate entity, and Gustin says playing in the association will be far from easy. "It'll be tough that first year. [NAIA teams are] equivalent to the Division II teams we're going to be playing in 2012. A lot of them could beat Division I teams." Still, she is clearly excited about the year ahead of her. The keys to everything have been handed over by the school, including scheduling games, administrative duties, and even designing of the uniforms (the team recently signed with Adidas), which she promises will be "something cool." Gustin is ready for the challenge here, and she has an idea of what it will be like. with what CSUSM has to offer. "I love it [here]. It's an easy place to sell for recruiting. It's a great place to work." Speaking of recruiting, consider Gustin the resident expert in San Marcos. She also spent her time at Indiana as the recruiting specialist. Her recruiting here will mostly be done locally, an area that she says is "so rich in talent." But she may bring in recruits who have contacted her from as far as Oregon and Arizona because "everyone wants to live in Southern California." Like the other sports programs, Gustin's Volleyball team will spend the 2011-12 season as an NAIA independent. Though the NAIA is often thought of as the "I have a very close Mend who started a [NCAA Division II] program four years ago. I re¿nember when he took the job I said, 'you're crazy, why would you want to start a program from scratch?' And then I didn't think about it until I took the job, but he called me and said, 'Hey, crazy.' He's been a great confidant to bounce ideas off of." Likewise, with Gustin on the sideline, expect Volleyball games to bounce the Cougars' way in 2011. Women's soccer celebrates Homecoming with 3 -2 win over Embry-Riddle BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing in front of a large crowd of alumni and fans on homecoming day, #13-ranked Cougar women's soccer defeated conference rival Embry-Riddle 2-0 atMangrumFieldon Saturday. CSUSM improves to 9-1-5 on the year. Embry-Riddle drops to 6-9-1. It was a big contest between two conference rivals, and while the Cougars weren't at their best, they were good enough to win. CSUSM out-shot Embry-Riddle 18-6, and held a 10-0 corner kicks advantage. The Eagles' defense saved three balls off the back line, keeping the contest close. But the Cougars did manage to get a pair of shots past, both in the first half. In the 19th minute, Shelby Bush was taken down in the box and CSUSM was awarded a penalty kick. Taylor Ziencina calmly finished the opportunity to put the Cougars up 1-0. Less than 10 minutes later, Rachel Schulte found Lauren Johnson making a run down the center of the field. Getting between defenders, Johnson loaded up and blasted a shot from about 20 yards out that rocketed past the keeper and into the back of the net. The goal is Johnson's 10th of the season, giving her sole possession of the CSUSM Women's Soccer Ail-Time single-season scoring crown. "It feels great," said Johnson after the game. "All the hard work is finally paying off." For Coach Ron Pulvers, while it wasn't the prettiest win, it was certainly a big one, given that this was one of only two regular M en's soccer survives against Embry-Riddle, w ins 5 -2 was clear there was no love lost, as evidenced by the 14 comIn a game that played out like bined cards the teams were isthe undercard to tonight's UFC sued.

Based off the novel Paprika by Yasutaka Tsutsui, the movie travels between the world of dreams and reality. In the film, Dr. Atsuko Chiba and her staff experiment with a machine called the DC Mini. Using the DC Mini, Chiba—also known as Paprika—and her patients enter their dreams. One day, the DC Mini machine goes berserk and the dream world begins to come to life. It is up to Paprika to find the reason why the experiment failed in order to stop the mayhem before the dream world engulfs the real world. PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMAZON.COM pride picks HALLOWEEN'S l EST H MO FUCUS O tk Karas (2005) Tatsunoko Production made the original video animation (OVA) "Karas" in celebration of the company's 40th anniversary. The film concentrates on a supernatural community living under the radar in the midst of human society in modern day Shinjuku, Tokyo. When the Shinjuku police department receives several cases of mysterious deaths throughout the city, they are unaware of the local demons responsible for the murders. As the tension between the two realms increase, character Yurine awakens the new guardian Karas. Karas must now restore balance between natural and supernatural, while protecting his own life. "Karas" is a masterful piece of film work with an interesting blend of 2D anime and*3D computer-generated images. The character Karas can also be found in the Wii game "Capcom VS: Tatsunoko." Let the Right One In (2008) The second best thing from Sweden after Ikea, is John Ajvide Lindqvist's vampire horror-romance, "Let the Right One In." Released internationally in 2008, the film, directed by Tomas Alfredson, follows 12 year-old Oskar, a loner, tortured at school by a band of bullies, and Eli, his neighbor, also 12 (in vampire years)* who Oskar discovers is a vampire, responsible for the grisly murders happening in their Stockholm suburb. The pair form an alliance based on Oskar's vow of secrecy in exchange for Eli's protection from his tormentors at school. Thefilmadheres to traditional vampire folklore but injects it with an unsettling darkness, broaching themes of death, disfiguration, pedophilia, and violence. A metaphoric iceberg, it takes more than one viewing to even begin understanding the psychological weight of this story. The subtitles make the film a literary experience, and although the premise outlines a budding romance between human and vampire, the film transmits an intensity that "Twilight" lovers Bella and Edward will never touch. An American remake - "Let Me In" - is set to be released later this year. «KM AUDITION The Blair Witch (1999) The premise of the film may be simple: three film students attempt to uncoyer .the secrets and truths about the legend of the Blair Witch only to go missing and never seen again, save for the discovered film footage of their camera. But the execution of this film is where it exceeds clichés and expectations. The terror that students Heather, Michael, and Josh experience in the Black Hills Forest of Maryland are drawn out in hand-held style, dark, quiet and realistic, leaving the fear up to the viewer's imagination. The Blair Witch Project is a film that still chills viewers eleven years after its release, and it is a great film to revisit in time for this coming Halloween. hot off t he reel Audition (1999) Based on Ryu Murakami's novel of the same name, "Audition" was directed by Takashi Miike in 1999 and is one of the most multilayered and prolific horror films made. This Japanese film is incredibly different from the constant blood and gore that Hollywood produces. Without relying on graphic violence, "Audition" takes its time to slowly build up tension, twisting the story in directions you never thought it would take. While the film is visually mild in comparison to most slasher films; it's the concepts presented that will haunt you well into the night, with visuals burned into your memory. Immediately recognizable by those who've seen it, you need only mention the burlap sack scene for people to know exactly what film you're talking about. By the time you get to the end, which features the most unbearably visceral torture scene in film history, you'll find yourself wondering why what you. With incredible acting and voyeuristic camera angles, Miike's "Audition" is a disturbing masterpiece that will have you needing serious mentally preparation for a second viewing. paranormal activity 2 H alloween C ostumes! 2 0 % Off with CSUSM Student I D Large Selection of Halloween Costumes including: Leg Avenue,Roma,Dreamgirl, & ForPlay including special orders.

While the film delivers plenty of surprises that will have you jumping out of your seat, the overall experience will leave you feeling just as empty and shortchanged as thefirstfilm. Without spoiling the film's events, "Paranormal Activity 2" tells the story of the Rey family. With their one-yearold son Hunter and teenage daughter Ali (Molly Ephraim), Daniel (Brian Boland) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden) find their lavish home quite literally shaken from a mysterious supernatural force. Each reacting to the unnerving events differently, the family is slowly terrorized by doors slamming, eerie BY MILA PANTO VICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER footsteps resounding upstairs, pans falling, and a myriad of creaking sounds. It isn't until things get out of control that Daniel makes a dangerous decision that gives way to the 2007 film. With a new writer (Michael R. Perry) and director, "Paranormal Activity 2" functions in exactly the same way as the first. You may jump from a few scenes that are designed to garner that exact reaction, but by the time the film is over, you will feel just as disappointed as you did upon leaving the first film. The film succeeds in making you tense and nervous and as long as you can get past the complete failure of the sudden ending, you will have a great time being creeped out by basement doors and dark staircases, making "Paranormal Activity 2" a great film to see for Halloween. �DROPPING THIS WEEK BY FAITH ORCINO PRDIE STAFF WRITER How to Train Your Dragon DreamWorks first showed the 3D movie "How to Train Your Dragon" in March of this year. Directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois transformed Cressida Cowell's book into a feature film.

The Student Media Festival is a celebration of thefilmsof the creative minds on campus. The Visual and Performing Arts Department hold the event each spring on campus. The festival allows students to use their creative prowess to produce afilmfor an audience. Furthermore, the festival highly encourages students to participate and submit their works for the chance to gain recognition from their peers. It also gives students the opportunity to be discovered by those in the film industry seeking new talent. Many entries will be accepted, however only a jselect few will be presented at the festival itself. The festival grows each year, so students are encouraged to polish their films early in order to increase their chances of being featured. The pieces are judged by a jury of fellow students in a number of categories, which include Best Social Justice Project, Best Personal Memoir, Best Experi- mental/ Performance Work, Best Narrative, and Best Documentary. Past winners of these categories have received prizes such as Apple Store gift certificates, computer software and hardware, and cash prizes. Students from all majors are welcome to participate and place their entry in the festival and are free to choose their own subjects. However, thefilmtopics are dependent on the category they are competing for. Subjects in the past have ranged from the lighthearted such as bowling, cats, and jabs atfilmproduction to more serious topics like drugs, cancer, and foreign culture. Johnathan Berman of the Communications Department explains, "What's great about this festival is that it showcases and celebrates the creative work of students from across the campus and allows us to share this work with fellow students, friends, family, teachers, staff, and industry professionals." The festival is open to the public and admission is free and will be catered with free beverages and food. Last year's festival was hosted by actor Jose Yenque who has beenfilmedin programs such as "Law" and Order: S VU," "CSI: Miami," and the 2000 film "Traffic." The deadline for turning in films is in the spring, so there is plenty of time to start working on entries. The festival will take place sometime at the end of the Spring 2011 semester.

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's" Greenman Here's Why: Lady Gaga - Who doesn't want an excuse to wear a blonde wig and no pants? "Avatar's" N a'vi - The film didn't clean out the Academy Awards f or nothing. If you're thinking of going fantastical, there is nothing more supernaturally magical than being an electric blue humanoid from a different dimension. "Jersey Shore" Characters - Dressing up as your favorite Guida/o is probably the best way to pay homage to the show we are all secretly - or not - obsessed with. "Harry Potter" Character - Deep down inside, a lot of us are still waiting f or our letters from Hogwarts. /Shedding our muggle attire f or one night helps us embody our inner witch and wizard. Vampires and "Twilight" Characters - You read the books. You watched the movies. You have the soundtracks. You own a "Team Jacob/Edward" shirt. You are Twilight. "Alice in Wonderland" Characters - Lewis Carroll's story has been retold in so many different ways by so many different people, i t's only fair to have your say in the representation of literature's wildest tea party. Here's Why Not: Giant Baby - because they freak people out. Adults in diapers are very unattractive... and creepy. Darth Vader - Because it's hard being social with a mask on, and to take it off would defeat the purpose of even attempting to be old Darthy. Plus, you risk sounding like a smoker who has just conquered the Cesar Chavez plaza stairs on campus. Not hot. A Black Person, when you are not - There is always someone every year at every party that somehow thinks it is a good idea to dress up as a black person eVen though they are not black. BAD IDEA, even if you do not mean it in an offensive way. Lady Gaga's Meat Dress - She might be popular, but forgetting this outfit will do the rest of the world a favor. Recreating the meat dress outfit Lady Gaga wore to the MTV's 2010 VMAs this year is not only gross, but highly un-hygienic. You might as well wear fresh road kill. The male crotch "outfits" - Whether it's a horse peeking out from a stable saying "petting zoo" or a tossing ring game, it's highly arrogant to think anyone will want to ride that pony after such a crude invitation. Ironically, these costumes are pricey (considering how little fabric is used). Greenman - Famous from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the costume is an awkward green tight spandex unisex body suit that does not show your face. Its body-hugging form shows a little more than people would like to see and makes it hard to eat, drink, and be hit on.
